High Powered Press Release Strategies

กันยายน 4th, 2010 by contabilhete

If you’ve spent any time on the business battleground, like it or not, you realize that advertising must be a major part of your success strategy. The problem with paid advertising is, to get your message out, you need to interrupt people. Think of it. If the airwaves are your medium, a TV or radio show must be interrupted in order for you to blurt out your message.

Get Outta My Face!

With print medium, your message is placed in the path of a reader’s eyes. Eyes that, over the years have been subconsciously trained to avoid all but the most intriguing messages.

And in the case of the Internet, pop-ups, float-ins, video and audio pitches, banner advertising and bulk email all make their attempts to grab your attention with interruptions to whatever it was you were on the Net for in the first place. People are reluctant to pay heed to messages affronting their personal time. That’s why it takes anywhere from seven to 20 paid advertising impressions for an advertising message to hit home.

Is there a better way to get your message out? YES. And the crux of the matter is this: Make your advertising message news. Getting your message explained by a newspaper, magazine, radio or TV station, or a respected Website gives you credibility. And here’s the kicker: if you haven’t interrupted the prospect that means they’ve actually chosen to read about you. There’s power in that.

The way to accomplish this is with a Press Release. Here’s how it works. You generate a newsworthy piece of information on your company and let the ‘media’ pick it up as a story. When your story is presented as news, people are more willing to take the time to read or listen to it. Of course, your product and how to get it is subtly mentioned in the story.

Wide Distribution

And here’s something you might want to take to heart. Distribute your press release to newspapers and other offline outlets such as TV and radio stations as well as throughout the online RP networks. And here’s something you might want to take to heart. Distribute your press release to newspapers and other offline outlets such as TV and radio stations as well as throughout the online RP networks. One pickup in a major offline venue can mean thousands of dollars in publicity and sales for your company.

Here’s the important thing to remember when writing any press release. When individuals consciously investigate your company via a story they remember your offer only if you’ve taken the time to make it worth remembering.

How do you make your product or service newsworthy? That has been the challenge of advertising people since the dawn of the profession. But it usually isn’t very hard. Take a dry cleaning business for example. How would you be able to make a dry cleaning establishment newsworthy, something a popular Website, a TV station or newspaper would be willing to report on?

Try Giving Away Money

Well, it’s been said it takes money to make money. This means you’ll need to invest something to get some attention. And with a carefully designed approach accompanied by well planned PR, you can have customers tripping over themselves to get to your offer. HOW?

Try this on for size: LOCO DRY CLEANER PLANTS TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS IN THE POCKETS OF PICK-UP DRY CLEANING. As a monument to their founder, Harvey T. Cleaner, who was often known as a prankster, Harvey Jr. is promoting the refurbished establishment by planting $20 bills in the clean laundry of random customers. So far Mary Q. Public, Frank K. Farnsworth, and Barney J. Blarney have all found crisp new twenties in the pockets of their clean clothes…

Take a look at this story. It has local and perhaps even national appeal. It’s news. It’s interesting. An editor in any venue with space to fill would be happy to have it. And most important, you’d probably be willing to read about it – and even tell a friend. And here’s the beauty part: it doesn’t cost the dry cleaner a cent in advertising if it’s presented as a press release.

Press Releases Propel Your Business Into The Spotlight

There are rules both written and unwritten about creating news releases. First, a press release must be written as news in a journalistic style. Then you’ve got to call attention to the story and show readers why they should bother to read about you. This comes by creating a great headline. I’ll refer to our previous example:

LOCO DRY CLEANER PLACES TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS IN THE POCKETS OF PICK-UP DRY CLEANING!

That’s a great headline but, I’ll admit, it’s a bit long. An even better and more to the point eye catching headline might be: LOCO DRY CLEANER GIVING MONEY AWAY! From here you can give the details. You’ve got about five seconds to catch your reader’s attention so don’t blow it.

The next thing you’ve got to do with your news release is let the reader know what the news is. In keeping with the journalistic style you do this with the Five Ws and an H. These are:

  • Who
  • What
  • When
  • Where
  • Why
  • How

If you expect to be picked up by any legitimate purveyor of the news, these components must be included. Editors won’t come to you looking for them unless you’ve got the cure for halitosis, body odor, or happen to know what Brittany is about to do.

Finally, and this is probably as important as any of the other points, keep it simple and brief. Use short sentences. Don’t embellish. If you stick to the facts, any editor can dress up your copy if it needs to be.

A good press release should be no more than a single page, double spaced. It should contain your letterhead, your location, such as Reno, NV. and the statement FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. When it comes to an electronic release, limit it to 450 words. Any more and it’s likely an editor will trash it.

To sum it up, media outlets are looking for interesting, newsy stories for their readers. You can offer both with interesting and newsy press releases [http://www.userfriendlybooks.com/business/free-traffic-with-press-release] distributed both online and in the physical world.

Article Marketing Q & A – How to Still Build Your List & Make Money When People Steal Your Articles

กันยายน 2nd, 2010 by contabilhete

Q: I have set up a Google Alert to notify me when my name is found on the internet.  This helps me see where some of my articles are used.  I had one guy who totally took my links out of my resource box and replaced them with their own.  Another guy kept my links in tact in my resource box but place his own anchor text links in the article itself.  He didn’t change my wording, he just added his own anchor text words which made the reading awkward.  How much of this unethical behavior do you see and is it much to worry about?  In the case of the second example above, at least I will get links back.  My thought is that most people are honest and ethical and to not too worry about the few who cheat the system but I want your expert advice and experience.  Thanks.  Have a great day.  God bless!

A: Unfortunately it happens all the time

One way to look at it is that at least you are getting found. And most important of all, is to not let it hold you back from getting your information out there.

Having said that, here are a couple of things you can do:

1.    If you can get contact info on them, email and say:

“I noticed you are using one of my many articles in your website. Thank you, and there are lots more where that one came from. I also noticed that the links in the article are not active links back to me. Can you please add the following links to the article…”

Then you supply the links.

Then check back in a few days and if they have not changed the links, send the same email again and add “I am formally requesting that you add the originally included links back to me, as per the Editorial Guidelines of the Article Directories.” And then let EzineArticles know what is going on. After that, shake the dust off your feet and move on, because you want your attention and energy focused on moving forward.

2.    You are right, most people are honest and on the up and up. There are a few on the internet who will rip off your stuff. The winning strategy is to make sure there are enough mentions of you, what you do and your links in anything that you produce that even when someone steals your stuff, you have built in ways to build your list and make profits.

The question then is not, “How do I prevent people from stealing my stuff?”

As your internet reach continues to grow, the question to ask is as follows:


“When people steal my stuff (notice not if, but when) how can I still build my list and make money?”

Keep doing what you are doing – get your articles out there, build your business, extend your reach, and build your profits.

Marketing Your Business Using Press Releases

สิงหาคม 30th, 2010 by contabilhete

Marketing and advertising your new business or announcing your recent internet presence does not have to cost an arm and a leg. You can advertise and promote what you are doing on a low cost budget. The even better news is that few will be skeptical about what you tell them because most people believe what they read and what they read about you will be taken as fact.

Large companies take out expensive ads in magazines and on TV and Radio. They also spend a great deal advertising on the Internet. You will be spending your time not your money.

First you need to understand that the media is always looking for stories. Editors frequently receive suggestions from readers. Do you have a story to tell? Are you one of the few people at age 50 or 65 or 75 that has started a business? That is a story. Helpful hints about what a home based business can do at home to be environmentally friendly is a story. Starting a new career is a story. Learning technology for your business is a story.

Secondly, you do not have to have any special writing ability or talent. You do, however, need to follow some rules. Your job is to attract the attention of a reporter or editor.

Thirdly, you do not need special contacts in the media to use publicity. Radio, online news directories, and program directors are always on the lookout for new stories.

And finally you do not need to hire a publicity expert. Your can do this yourself.

Getting the most from press releases does require, however, some strategy and some grunt work.

First, create your press release. Work on the headline a bit longer to make sure it gets some attention. Check out the key words for your topic and include at least one in the headline. Make sure you leave your contact information on the release. Then look up the local newspapers on line and offline in your local area or state. If there is another location where you believe you can interest prospects will be interested in what you do, find the media directories for that area. You can go to other localities; it all depends on the number of press releases you want to send out.

Before you send the press releases, prepare a Question and Answer sheet to also send to the reporters. Plan on using this sheet when a reporter calls. It will make her job and your job easier.

After emailing or faxing 250 press releases along with the Q and A sheet, you should expect to hear from 10 reporters. Most of them come from smaller newspapers but there is one that comes from a national magazine that focuses on your topic. Hooray for you! Your press release got their attention and they want to write a story about you. When you are interviewed for the article have the Question and Answer sheet right in front of you and start from there.

People will instantly believe that you are the expert in your field once they read an article about you and your business. For some reason, when we select a magazine or newspaper to read, most of us just assume the reporter would not be writing about that person or that business unless he was special. The media does not care if you become rich and famous. They just want you to solve the problems of their readers so they get used to purchasing the newspaper. That is the power of free publicity. It connects the power of belief and joins it with the claims you make about your product or service.

The one thing you do need to learn is how to write a press release. Media people do not have time or patience to deal with someone who doesn’t understand what to say and what not to day. If you have no idea what you are doing in the press release chances are it will get tossed in the basket. However, sending the Q and A page along with the press release will get you extra points.

And finally you need to know how to accept your role of being an expert. The fact is that most people are no more skilled at what they do than you and I are at what we do. We are the experts because we are actively engaged in doing our business while others think about doing their business. Using press releases can help you promote and market yourself and your business.

And now I invite you to get started with your blog so that you can develop, organize and promote your business. Get found by your ideal clients, build credibility, and extend your brand and reputation. Visit http://www.BloggingForBusinessWithEXperts.com

The Healing Power of Sunlight

สิงหาคม 24th, 2010 by contabilhete

Today, we are going to discover the healing power of sunlight in helping us to enjoy the health we desire. More than you may think, your well-being is linked directly to the sun. The sun not only triggers the reaction of photosynthesis in plants, which produces the oxygen you breathe and the food you eat, but it also determines the occurrence of night and day. This influences the natural cycles that control the rhythmical ebb and flow of the chemistry in your body’s internal environment. These cycles include the very important cycle of sleeping and waking. Disruption of the sleep-wake cycle can be harmful to your healing system and lead to disease, whether it occurs over long periods or on an irregular basis.

For ages now, the therapeutic value of natural sunlight has been seen to be an essential element in healing. Since ancient times, physicians have prescribed regular sunbathing as an effective treatment for many common disorders. For example, the ability of sunlight to build strong bones is well documented. Natural sunlight is the best source of vitamin D, which is required for absorbing calcium in the intestines, ensuring strong bones as you grow old.

Have you been feeling overly depressed lately? Well, sunlight can lift your mood and help you to have a positive outlook for the day! Periods of darkness or extreme lack of sunlight can cause you to feel “down-in-the-dumps”. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a common form of disorder that occurs during the winter months in colder, darker climates and is effectively treated with natural sunlight.

Numerous studies have indicated the therapeutic role of sunlight in improving the health of those afflicted with a variety of illnesses and diseases. Take a look at these examples:

# Sunlight stimulates immune system activity and improves immunity.

# Sunlight is a natural disinfectant. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight helps kill viruses and bacteria. A well- known example was the plague epidemic of the Middle Ages during which people characteristically lived in dark, narrow conditions. Millions died and the only people who survived were those living in the country where they were exposed to fresh air and sunlight.

# Sunlight exposure on the chest, and particularly on the back, helps recovery from respiratory infections like bronchitis, pneumonia, and even tuberculosis.

# Sunlight helps to heal bed sores and various skin ulcers.

# Sunlight helps to oxygenate and purify the blood.

# Sunlight has been found to assist in the treatment of arthritis, including the common rheumatoid arthritis.

# Sunlight helps to break down and eliminate uric acid, lowering it’s concentration in the blood and alleviating symptoms of gout.

# Sunbathing has been prescribed by Russian and Eastern European doctors in treating obesity after finding that sunlight stimulates the thyroid gland which regulates your metabolism.

# Studies in Russia have shown that sunlight affects the deep organs, helping to cure peptic ulcers.

# Sunlight helps to normalise blood pressure and blood sugar.

# Sunlight reduces blood cholesterol levels. It helps to reverse plaque formation in the coronary arteries which are the arteries that feed the heart. It also reduces plaque formation in the arteries

leading to the brain, lowering the risk of a stroke.

# It has been observed that regular exposure to sunlight has decreased most cancers, except those of the skin, in animals and people.

# Sunlight decreases the formation of free radicals which are linked to aging.

As some studies have indicated that overexposure to the sun can damage your skin, it is advised by physicians to limit unprotected exposure to 15 minutes per day.

So, add some sunshine to your life!

Warmly,

John.

Linux Usr System Directory – Ls (List Directory) Command Examples – Quick Tips

สิงหาคม 19th, 2010 by contabilhete

The Linux usr Directory

The usr directory, below the /, typically contains application software programs and utilities that can be shared across a network. It is the parent directory for many system components, including documentation files.

This directory is the “parent” for the share directory, which is the parent for doc, man and info.

These three directories contain documentation regarding Linux OS components and provide an excellent example of a well-organized directory structure.

You will see this illustrated for the “man” directories in the command examples below.

List the directories in the root and notice that the usr directory is “below” the /.

$ ls /

Now view the items in this directory.

$ ls /usr

Notice the doc, info and man directories.

Change into the share directory, below the path of /usr and list the contents.

Linux Commands Training Tips: You can use a ; (semicolon) with a space on either side, to run more than one Linux command on the same line.

$ cd /usr/share ; ls

Now use the Linux file “pattern” of “m*” to list only items beginning with “m”.

$ ls m*

This shows all items that begin with “m” and also shows the items (mostly files) in the directories beginning with “m”.

You can click on the top right arrow in your terminal emulation window to scroll up and see all of the output.

Directory names are flush left and on a single line and end in a : (colon).

Now use the -d option to show the directories only – and not the contents of the ones beginning with “m”.

$ ls -d m*

Now add the -l option to get a long listing.

$ ls -ld m*

Notice the directory named “man“. This is the parent directory of the Linux man pages, which are files providing documentation on system software components, including Linux commands.

The man command is used to view the contents of manual pages and can be run from any directory and as any Linux user.

$ man ls

This shows the man page for the ls command, which has a very brief description of the command and shows all of its options (preceded by a dash).

Press q to quit out of the man page.

Linux Commands Training Tips: Unfortunately, Linux man pages rarely show examples of how to use a command!

Now change into the man directory and view its contents.

$ clear ; cd man ; ls -ld man*

Each directory below contains files for a category of documentation.

The following command example uses the pattern of “ls.* to show the man page file in the man1 subdirectory that contains the description of the ls command that you saw above.

$ ls -l man1/ls.*

The Linux usr directory and command examples shown here apply to ALL Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Debian, SUSE, openSUSE, Fedora, Red Hat and Slackware Linux.

And now I would like to offer you free access to my Linux Commands Training Mini-Course, a 7 Lesson, Daily Mini-Course, including the free Linux Commands ebook and Linux audio podcasts – showing you how to get started learning how to use Linux commands.

Q-Tip It!

สิงหาคม 16th, 2010 by contabilhete

Back in the 1920’s when Polish-American entrepreneur Leo Gerstenzang invented cotton swabs as a safer way to clean his baby’s ears, he called his product “Q-Tip.” Actually, his first name-choice was “Baby Gay” – but that didn’t sell, so the by-now familiar name emerged. Mr. Gerstenzang chose “Q” for Quality . . . and he must have been on to something, because Q-Tip has become a household word (and we’ve developed a whole ‘nother set of connotations for ‘Baby Gay.’)

Which made Q-Tip a good choice for an acronym that’s going ’round in motivational workshops these days: Quit Taking It Personally! I have a jar of those little white-tipped tools on my vanity, and every morning they remind me to use this quick-and-easy stress reduction technique: Q-Tip It!

o The traffic jam or the flat tire, or the keys that get locked in the car are not part of a plan to ruin your day. Q-Tip It – Quit Taking It Personally!

o The keys that can never be found are just inanimate objects, and there is no moral value attributable to being able to find everything anyway. Q-Tip It!

o The computer that freezes just when you’ve got an important report to print really IS just a stupid machine. Take a deep breath and repeat the maxim about accepting the things you cannot change. Above all — Q-Tip It!

o The supervisor who wants everything done yesterday has a problem with time management and scheduling. You’re more likely to find a constructive way to deal with this of persistent stress situation if you Q-Tip It!

o The 5 pounds you can’t seem to lose are just a ball of fat . . . not a moral failure. You know what to do – eat less, move more. So get moving . . . and Q-Tip It!

o The kids who don’t call often enough probably really ARE busy (and didn’t you raise them to be independent?). Q-Tip It!

o The colleague who consistently says you’re doing something all wrong is telling you more about her needs than about your way of doing things. Q-Tip It!

o Got a spouse (or friend, or child) who seems always to ignore things you say? Odds are she/he is hard of hearing, forgetful, or caught up in her own priorities rather than trying to drive you nuts. Q-Tip It!

o ______________________________________________ (fill in your own stressors – and Q-Tip It!)

You get the picture . . . and the image, too. Stress is not what happens to us. It’s our response TO what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose.

So – Q-Tip It! Let Mr. Gerstenzang’s little white-tipped tool be a memory-hook, a way to ease the your personal stress reactions, the way YOU choose to respond to the happenings of your days.

Wireless Network Security: How to Use Kismet

สิงหาคม 15th, 2010 by contabilhete

Kismet is a wireless network detector / sniffer which can give you a vast amount of information about wireless networks. Wireless network security flaws are well documented but often very hard for the common person to understand. I will be showing you how to use kismet with out even having to install Linux, or compile kismet.

First you need to proceed to remote-exploit.org and download and burn their Auditor CD. (IF you don’t know how to burn an ISO image, go to Google). This version of Linux doesn’t install or modify your hard drive; it will boot from the CD and use a Ram Drive (On your Memory).

Auditor is not only a great tool for testing wireless network security with kismet but it also has many other computer security tools on it as well.

Client Window

Next, to start Kismet proceed to the Linux version of the start menu, and press Auditor.

Now proceed to the wireless /scanning/kismet tools/kismet.

Once you click on Kismet it will ask you for a default location to place the Kismet log files for analyzing later, just press the desktop or temp file.

Now I will show you how to use Kismet. When kismet initially opens you will see a greenish box with numbers and network names (If any are near you) clicking away don’t be overwhelmed. (Also I can’t show you how to use kismet if you don’t have the correct wireless adapter, get an ORINICO Gold Classic Card off EBAY.) The Orninco gold classic card will be automaticly detected by auditor linux.

The Kismet columns will show the wireless networks SSID (Name), Type of device (Access point, gateway) Encryption or no Encryption, an IP range and number of packets. Kismet will pick up hidden networks with SSID broadcast Disabled also, Netstumbler will not.

Now Press H, to bring up the Help Menu. This will give the nuts and bolts on how to use kismet. If you tab down to the network you are auditing and press “C”, Kismet will show you all the computers that are using that wireless access point / gateway. This Kismet screen will show you the clients MAC address, Manufacture of Wireless Adapter, IP address range and traffic.

Kismet: Help Menue

Now to get out of that screen press “Q“. Tab Down on the Main Kismet Screen to another SSID and press “I”. This Kismet window will show detailed information about the wireless network. The Kismet detail screen will show the type of network (Infrastructrure / Adhoc), signal strength, channel, encryption type, and much more.

Kismet will also give you sound alerts when new wireless networks are discovered or security alerts or suspicious clients are in range. Suspicious clients would be people like you who are using Kismet or Networkstumbler. Unlike you these could be Wardrivers looking for venerable networks to hack into.

Kismet Alert Page

You can prevent War drivers from discovering your wireless network by performing a proper site survey which will help limit signal bleed off to unneeded areas. You should write down the suspicious MAC address and keep an eye on your access logs. If the War Drivers are really stupid just look out your window and look for cars with weird antennas.HA HA HA.

Kismet is more than just a tool to discover wireless networks; it can be used in conjunction with other tools to crack WEP/WPA. Many websites will claim that WEP can be cracked in less that five minutes. This is only half the truth because it could take many hours,days,months to gather enough packets to crack. Good luck and have fun learning the more advanced applications of kismet.

5 Efficiency Improving Shortcuts in VIM Editor

สิงหาคม 13th, 2010 by contabilhete
  1. Repeat Last Command: Using the “.” will repeat the last command/action. If you just inserted some text, then press escape to end your insertion, pressing dot “.” will repeat that insertion. This will continue to be true until you perform some other action that changes what is in the “last action” buffer.
  2. Repeat N Times: In VIM, typing a number prior to a command will tell VIM to repeat that command N times. For example, if I wanted to delete a single line, I would do this by typing “dd”. However, if there were 50 lines that needed deleting, rather than typing the “dd” command 50 times consecutively, merely typing “50dd” will give the same results much faster. This is an efficient way to do multiple anything. Think about coupling this trick with the previous. Typing “50.” will tell VIM to repeat the last action 50 times. So if you needed to insert 50 stars “*” in a line, you would first type one star (“i” for insert, then a star, then escape key), followed by “50.” to print 50 stars. If you don’t want them all in a single line, just press enter after the star to create a new line prior to pressing escape. That will put a star + new line into the “.” buffer.
  3. Find Matching Containment Punctuation Tags: Chances are your code is going to be rife with parentheses, braces, and brackets to contain blocks of code. Either you’re launching a subshell in a shell script, or writing a block of code and have it contained by some punctuation like {}, [], or (). Sometimes it is simple to find the matching punctuation, but when functions get very long, or contain multiple levels of embedded code, it can get complicated. In VIM, placing your curser on a containment tag will automatically highlight the matching one, but if it is offscreen (a really long function) a nice trick is to press the percent “%” sign. This will switch back and forth between the opening and closing tags.
  4. Macros: Getting back to the spirit of improving efficiency by repeating commands, another method is to group several actions into one keystroke. This is called a macro and we can easily record one in VIM by following this procedure. First, press the “q” key, followed by some other letter. The word “recording” will appear in the bottom left of the editor window. Start doing whatever you want to record in the macro: insert text, delete lines, etc. Remember, the macro records even Home, End, and arrow keys. This is useful if you want to have your macro move to the end of the line and insert text, then go to the next line. As an example, lets write a macro to add semicolons to the end of a line. We’ll assign the macro to the letter a. Press “qa” and see “recording” in bottom, then press “i” to insert text, the key to go to end of line, the semicolon “;” to put it there, and finally a down arrow stroke to move to the next line. Now press escape , and the “q” key again. The “recording” message goes away and now the macro is stored in @a. If you want to execute it, you type @a. Combine this with above tips to do this multiple times, e.g. “50@a” will put semicolons at the end of the next 50 lines.
  5. Mapping Commands: This is a great trick to combine with the macros. Enter the colon command mode (just type colon “:”), then type “map” followed by one of the function keys F2 – F12, followed by the macro set above. We don’t chose F1 because it is already mapped to Help. The command would look like this “:map @a” then press enter. That’s it! Now press F2 to your heart’s content and you can keep repeating the macro to add semicolons on every line.
