media is a phenomenon that has taken the world by storm in the recent years. Various
social media sites are some of the most popular and most frequented online
sites today.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">More and more people are
finding their way to different social media sites to connect with one another,
especially with the advent of portable computers and smartphones that made
connecting to the Internet a lot easier.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Consequently, more and more business organizations are also maintaining
their presence on these sites because these are where their target markets are.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Aside from
attracting millions of people from all over the world to its folds, the social
media has also changed the way many things are done. This is especially true as far as internet
marketing is concerned. After all, the
social media provides low cost, even free, marketing tools that are very
effective. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
importance of the social media in internet marketing can never be
underestimated. In fact, the use of the
many marketing opportunities given by the social media is an important
component of every online marketing plan.
So, how can the social media benefit any organization’s internet
marketing efforts? Let us count the
ways:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Branding.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
Having social media presence and improving it can greatly help the
branding efforts of any business organization.
These sites give voice to a company so that it can communicate with
others, specifically with its target market.
There are many tools made available on these sites that can be used by a
company to establish its unique brand and for it communicate its message in a
conversational and relaxed way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Build Relationship With Target
Market.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> With the help of the social media, a company
becomes “real” to its target market since the mode of communication on these
sites is on a very personal level.
Engaging the prospective customers and interacting with them will
certainly do wonders for any business. When
done right, a business can make new customers while retaining its existing
consumer base. This way, a company can build it reputation, improve its brand
credibility, and enjoy brisk business.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Traffic.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
A company can also increase the traffic to its business website with the
help of social media sites. Links can be
included in social media content like articles, pictures, posts, tweets, status
updates, and the like. These links can
generate organic and quality traffic to any business website.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lead Generation.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
As we all know, lead generation is very important in the success of any
business. The social media is a great
way to generate leads for a company.
After all, these sites are where a business’ target market can be found
and easily tapped. Remember, it is a lot
easier to gather important market data and to reach out to prospective clients
if they congregate en masse in a single place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Customer Feedback.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
A business can also readily get feedback from its consumers via the
various social media sites. After all,
consumers can easily post comments on these sites and companies can readily
read them. This way, a company can get
the pulse of its target market and can act accordingly at the right time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Return Of Investment.</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
Aside from letting a business reach, tap, and interact with its
prospective clients, the social media also offers free marketing and
advertising potentials that can greatly lower marketing costs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In
traditional advertising, serious money needs to be spent on ad placements but
these ads may not reach its intended audience.
On the other hand, most of the advertising that can be done via the
various social media sites are free and are more effective. Many companies have reaped great benefits
when their social media marketing and advertising campaigns went viral. For them, lower marketing and advertising
costs meant higher return of investments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

people are concerned with the various risks involved in home based business
opportunities. This is quite a natural reaction as deciding to pursue one of
these home based business opportunities is a decision to invest one’s hard
earned money and valuable time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">One
thing to look for in the home based business opportunities available to you is
an organization that can help you through the various processes of setting up
and building a business. The organization concerned should offer training and
support to help you every important step of the way. Likewise, this
organization should also genuinely care about your success.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">In
choosing and in starting a home based business, there are certain concerns that
most beginners have. Here are some of those concerns and how to deal with them:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">No prior experience
with online marketing or running a home business? </span></b><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">There are many people
who had this dilemma hindering them to take advantage of the various home based
business opportunities available to them. Though this is phase is not that easy
to surmount, many of those who took the courage and dared eventually succeeded.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">You
just need to find a system that will take out the guess work that usually comes
with starting your own business. Legitimate home based business opportunities
usually have a network of professionals who will show you the way and guide you
through the processes you need to go through, especially during the early stages
of your business.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">No idea what of the home
based business opportunities to choose? </span></b><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">More often than not, finding a quality
system and a reliable support network is the way to go. Not all home based
business opportunities have this, though, so you need to choose well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">Also,
copying or taking inspiration from what other did to succeed is the easiest way
to gain it for yourself. However, if you have a really special and unique product
or service to offer, you can try having it as the center of your home based
business.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">

selling or no prior sales experience? </span></b><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">Though
you would need to promote most home based business opportunities over the Web,
there are available systems where you need not speak to anyone just to sell
your products or services. You can have ownership of your sales piece while
having or partnering with a network of experienced and reliable sales force
that will help potential customers understand better your product or service
and your business. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">

home based business? </span></b><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">This
is quite tough because if you really want to try out one of the home based
business opportunities available to you, you need to put some time in it. If
you want to change your present situation, gain financial security, and
ultimately live the kind of life you want, you need to change some of the ways
you do things and you need to commit to your business if you want it to
succeed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">This
could mean giving up some things along the way and this small sacrifice would
definitely be worth it and reciprocated ten folds or more. If you can’t afford
to give a full work week to your business, just ensure to prioritize time for
your business when you’re available and to be diligent when working. Without
these, you can’t succeed in any home based business opportunities that you may
get interested in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> <span style="font-family: Symbol;"></span></span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">Worried about the risks
of starting your own home based business? </span></b><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">Of course, there are certain risks in all home
based business undertakings but you can’t reap rewards if you don’t take the
risk involved. More often than not, the bigger the risk, the bigger the
rewards. As long as you do things right, as much as possible, the road to
success is not that uncertain. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">If
you refuse to take a risk in any of the legitimate home based business
opportunities before you, you may miss out the chance you have been looking for
to turn your life around.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">Some
of the most important things to look for in home based business opportunities are
the products, training and support, and a network of experienced and competent
professionals included in a comprehensive program. Moreover, as in any home
based business opportunities, you need to work on it to succeed and for it to
produce rewards.</span></div>

home
based business opportunities are now easily within the reach of many
people from anywhere in the world because of internet technology. But
the same
technology that makes these business opportunities possible is the very
same one also being used by
unscrupulous individuals to scam those who only want to have a
legitimate home
based business. This is a major reason why many people do not try out
the
various opportunities available on the internet even if they would have
wanted to a legitimate
home based business. In this article, let us take a look into the
matter of home based businesses and on how to find legitimate ones.</span></div>

Business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">There are many legitimate
home based business opportunities on the internet and you only need to choose
right so that you can have your very own legitimate home based business. The
income potential in such ventures is limitless because it would depend on the
amount of time and work you put in into your legitimate home based business. Aside
from this, your legitimate home based business can allow you to work at times
convenient to you since you’re already the boss of your very own business.</span></div>

tedious and wearying to determine for sure whether an opportunity is a legitimate

opportunity/company + scam” and “company + complaints” in search engines so
that you will know whether it is a legitimate home based business opportunity
or not. There are websites that expose such scams and if a business opportunity
is indeed a scam, the search engines will usually have a lot of hits using the
said keywords.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking into relevant

course, everybody needs money to be able to survive in this world. Every way
you turn, it seems that you have to shell out some money to pay for something. There
are your essential needs to spend for and a lot of other things to be able to
live even the most basic of what a decent life is. But money is not the end-all
and be-all of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">Much
more than money, life is about happiness and fulfillment. Life is empty without
the latter. The ideal scenario would be being able to earn while being able to
pursue your passions and living the kind of life you want. Though skeptics
would often dismiss the possibility of having the best of both worlds, the
experience of many people who were able to do it are living testaments of such
possibilities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">Many
people who were able to get the very best of both worlds have done it by working
from home. There are many work from home ideas to explore if you seriously
consider this option. At first, they were at the crossroads seriously thinking
about various work from home ideas and what will work for them. And then, they
took the chance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";"><b>The Juggle. </b>Juggling
family life, work, and personal happiness can be tough, especially if you still
haven’t found your rightful place under the sun. Work from home ideas have
worked out well for many people and they found what they have been searching
for for so long. And work from home ideas are not that scant nowadays. The best
thing about these work from home opportunities is being able to work from the comfort
of your home and at your own pace, making juggling various responsibilities and
interests easier to manage. You just need to start brainstorming now on the
various possible work from home ideas that will fit into your overall plan of
how you want your life to be.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";"><b>Doing Some Research. </b>Many
people want to earn more but not everyone wants to research for work
from home ideas. Whether you like it or not, research is needed for you to
create a sound business plan based on the option you chose from the various work
from home ideas that you have. Without research for work from home ideas and a
business plan, you will only find yourself following aimlessly a program of
action that you are not well prepared for. And do not be afraid to take the
first step to bring your work from home ideas to fruition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";"><b>Creating Shortlist.</b> Sifting
through all the work from home ideas can be a headache. There are so many possibilities
and so many different things that you can do if you think about various work
from home ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All you need to do is
narrow down the work from home ideas available to you by taking into
consideration your interests, resources, and capabilities. Having a shortlist
of work from home ideas is necessary to organize your thoughts and options so
that you can view your position from the proper perspective.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";"><b>Marketing Your Own Products.</b> One
of the most popular work from home ideas is selling your own product or
service. If you don’t have a product, the next best option among the popular work
from home ideas is joining a network company. When you opt for this, make sure
that the network company you will be joining is a reputable one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";"><b>Networking Marketing Perhaps? </b> People
are always on the lookout for good products. And network marketing companies
always have great products to offer. As this is one of the best options among
the work from home ideas today, it may be the right place for you to start
turning your life around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Microsoft Sans Serif","sans-serif";">Aside
from the kind and the quality if the product offered, it would be wise to
choose a network company that provides good training and good mentoring in the
package. You will need to learn how to generate leads as these are your
potential customers. You need to choose the right people and the right company
if you want to succeed in the business.</span></div>

thought of a career change does not appeal to everyone; a career change means the
possibility of changing one’s lifestyle, environment, and building another
career from square one. It can be stressful just thinking of the idea of a
possible career change and the things that go with it. However, if you can’t
find the happiness and the fulfillment with your current job anymore and just
feel that you are doing it for a non-existent purpose and principle, it is time
for a career change. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , "sans-serif";">When you find yourself in this predicament, don't worry. Almost every professional has undergone this experience
once in their life, especially the young professionals, before establishing
themselves to their more permanent and lasting jobs. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , "sans-serif";">There
will come a time when we ask ourselves if we are really happy and contented
with our choice of career and if we are really going to stay with that job until
we get old. There will be a time when you will feel empty in some aspect of
your career and you would feel that you need to work that missing piece out for
yourself. Reevaluating of your life will be needed when that moment comes along
and a career change might be needed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , "sans-serif";">There
are certain measures that you will need to do before deciding to pursue a
career change because this can change your life forever and can also change the
life of your family. You will need to reevaluate your current profession and the
major problems you are having with it. You would also need to find possible new
career options and to equip yourself with the right skills and education that
you will need for the new career that you want. </span></div>

Career. </span></b><span style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , "sans-serif";">It
is very important that you reflect on your current career first before
considering a career change and the importance of doing it. Do not jump into
another career immediately if your only reason is a short term clash between
your co-workers or a little misunderstanding with your boss, or if it is only
an impulsive and reckless thought that happened to enter your mind. If this is
your only reason, go on with your job and wait for the matter at your office to
settle down before seriously thinking about changing careers. On the other hand, if
you have been feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled with your current job for a
very long time now and have been thinking of a career change, go for it, if you
think it will help you grow professionally and personally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

focus on the education and trainings that are necessary for the new career path
that you are planning to embark on. See whether the education and trainings
that you currently have matches with the requirements of the new career you are
considering. You also have to ask yourself if you are willing to give the
needed time, effort, and money to have the knowledge and skills for a new
career. It will be easier that you choose a new career that closely matches
your education and personal skills rather than starting from scratch all over
again. </span></div>

pursuing any career change moves, be sure that it is what you really need and
want in your life. Cover the basics of your planned career move before you

the career change will make you feel fulfilled, contented, and happy with your
work for you to be able to be more productive, useful, and be more
creative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

As one of the original co-founders of Facebook, Chris Hughes
was catapulted into the elite group of young millionaires who made it big with
the help of the Internet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, Chris
went beyond the distinction of being a Facebook co-founder and spokesperson and
went on to carve his very own niche in history and society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After successfully orchestrating Barack Obama’s online
presidential campaign in 2008 and founding Jumo in 2010,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chris Hughes is now more identified with his
political causes and as the new Editor-in-Chief and publisher of The New
Republic magazine, which he bought in 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Interestingly, Chris used his wealth from the new media to invest in the
traditional media.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Family and Educational
Background</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Born in November 26, 1983, Chris is the only child of Ray
and Brenda Hughes, a sales manager and a math teacher respectively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Chris was raised in the small town of Hickory,
North Carolina as an evangelical Lutheran.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When he was 15 years old, he got accepted to the Phillips Academy in
Andover, Massachusetts on scholarship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
excelling academically at Andover, Chris clinched a scholarship to Harvard,
where he spent perhaps the most life-changing years of his life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At Harvard, Chris majored in History and Literature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During his sophomore year, he became
roommates with Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, and Dustin Moskovitz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They later became the four original
co-founders of the worldwide phenomenon called Facebook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though Chris was not that proficient in

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As one of the trailblazers in the realm of social media and internet marketing, Brian Solis has indeed come a long way. Currently recognized as one of important and most prominent leaders in the new media industry, he is also an award-winning author, internet marketing guru, digital analyst, futurist, and aspiring social scientist. Brian Solis is also a leading blogger via his BrianSolis.com blog, which is in Technocrati’s Top 100 business blogs and in AdAge Power 150’s Top 10 marketing blogs, and the host of Revolution, his very popular online video interview series. He also hosts and curates the yearly Pivot Conference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After establishing FutureWorks Labs and propelling it to the top, Brian Solis remains as its advisor while serving as one of the principal analysts of the Altimeter Group, a Silicon Valley research-based advisory company. As he continues to study how new technologies affect human behavior and how the future of the popular culture can present opportunities to improve the relationship and experience of consumers with companies, Brian confesses to find himself assuming the student role once in a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>CAREER</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Early Beginnings. </i></b> As a kid, Brian Solis confessed that he was really fascinated with technology and anything related to it. He learned programming early on and started his career in a Southern Californian technology marketing agency as a database programmer. Eventually, he found himself switching his interest and focus to advertising and marketing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1991, he officially entered the field of technology public relations when he worked in the Dodge and Mansfield firm, an agency based in Ventura, California. He also became Director of Silicon Valley’s The Benjamin Group from 1993 to 1996. During the 90s, Brian Solis began to become involved in early blogs, message boards, and communities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike most other marketing strategists, Brian did not believe in fluff, hype, or buzz words. Instead, he believed in transforming specifications, capabilities, and benefits into timely solutions for the problems and opportunities in the real world. It was during the mid-90s when he experimented with direct customer/consumer engagement via dedicated technology boards and forums. From this, he developed new methods to engage people in a more informed and social way while marketing a product. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>FutureWorks Labs</i></b>. This eventually led him to start FutureWorks Labs, an agency dedicated to doing interactive marketing, in 1999. FutureWorks eventually specialized in branding, business strategy, and new media marketing. Through this company, Brian led the social and interactive programs for notable celebrities, Fortune 500 companies, Web 2.0 startups, and many leading brands. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Altimeter Group.</b></i> In March 2011, Brian Solis joined the Altimeter Group as a principal analyst. He works on new media frameworks and strategies with businesses in order to connect the companies with consumers, employees, and the other stakeholders. He also specializes in organizational transformation in order to help businesses introduce and implement new media resources, management layers, and systems and processes that respond to the needs of the social consumer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>PUBLISHED WORKS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brian’s first book, <i>Engage: The Complete Guide for Brands and Business to Build, Cultivate, and Measure Success in the New Web</i>, was published in 2010. It became helpful guide for effective social media practices and strategies and an important reference for organizations on how to conduct business and assess their success in the new media. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His latest book that was published in 2011, <i>The End of Business As Usual: Rewire the Way You Work to Succeed in the Consumer Revolution</i>, examines how top companies find success with their connected customers or the Generation C. Aside from exploring the emergence of the connected customers, the book also looks into how businesses can compete effectively for the consumers’ attention and loyalty, build relationships with them, and improve a business’ relationship with its employees and consumers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brian also worked with Deirdre Breakenridge to publish <i>Putting the Public Back in Public Relations</i>, which became one of the communications industry’s important bestsellers. He also partnered with Geoff Livingston in 2007 to do <i>Now is Gone</i>, a critically-acclaimed book that helped companies know why, how, and where to start in the new Social Media.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He contributed forewords to other published works, including Vincenzo Cosenza’s <i>Social Media ROI</i>, Michael Brito’s <i>Smart Business, Social Business</i>, Becky Carroll’s <i>The Hidden Power of Your Customers</i>, Deirdre Breakenridge’s <i>PR 2.0</i>, Jacob Morgan’s <i>Twittfaced</i>, and Sean Percival’s <i>MySpace Marketing</i>. He also contributed to BusinessWeek, Fast Company, Mashable, AdAge, and Harvard Business Review.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>SOCIAL MEDIA AND INTERNET MARKETING CONTRIBUTIONS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During the early 2000s, Brian realized that big changes were unraveling and that many others like him were finding success with the internet, which was becoming a more social and democratic form of media. He spent time to share everything he knew and learned via the articles, blog posts, and books he wrote. He actively wrote about new marketing and businesses, emerging business models, and disruptive technology. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Brian was also one of the leaders who worked to define and organize the “Social Media” movement, which significantly helped in establishing it as a definite media category. He also wrote “<i>The Social Media Manifesto</i>” in 2007, a certified worldwide hit that detailed why organizations should rethink their business, service, and marketing strategies in the face of the developments in the social media. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2008, Brian designed an infographic that depicts the various social media categories and called it The Conversation Prism. In 2011, he came up with another infographic that depicts how brands propagate on the transmedia or digital media landscape. His admirable work in the emerging social enterprise earned him accolades like the CRM Magazine’s 2010 Influential Leader and SoftwareAdvice’s 2011 Authority of the Year awards.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Finding The Kind Of Carpet Cleaning <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Bethesda</st1:city> <st1:state w:st="on">MD</st1:state></st1:place>
Homes Deserve<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Carpets are indeed great
additions to any <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Bethesda</st1:place></st1:city>
home. Aside from greatly enhancing how a
house looks and improving its value, carpets also make it more comfortable and
cozier to live in. However, having
carpets installed also mean additional responsibilities to any homeowner. For one, carpets should be kept free from
damage, stains, and other unsightly marks as these can greatly mar their
appearance. Also, carpets need to be
properly cared for and cleaned so as to prevent the accumulation not only of
dust and other allergens, but also of fungi, dust mites, and other harmful
microbes, which can breed in unclean carpets and pose serious health risks to both
adults and children alike.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><h2><b>How To Find The Right Carpet Cleaning
Bethesda MD Homes Need</b></h2><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Homeowners who want to have
their carpets cleaned the right way usually seek the services of professional
carpet cleaners. After all, homeowners
do not usually have the necessary equipment, knowledge, and technical skills
needed to properly clean their carpets.
Professional carpet cleaners, on the other hand, have been
specially-trained and are specially-equipped to undertake any kind of carpet
cleaning job. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Having professionals handle
a carpet cleaning job is, more often than not, the more sensible option. After all, improper cleaning methods and
incorrect handling of carpet stains can lead to more problems. So, finding the right professional carpet
cleaning <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Bethesda</st1:city> <st1:state w:st="on">MD</st1:state></st1:place> homes need is very important in
preserving the beauty, functionality, and longevity of carpets:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">1. Put Premium
on Experience.</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> There are many firms that offer different
kinds of carpet cleaning services in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Bethesda</st1:city>
<st1:state w:st="on">MD.</st1:state></st1:place> There are some that specialize in certain
kinds of carpet cleaning services while there are those that are capable of
handling most kinds of carpet cleaning jobs.
So, whether you need to have your carpet periodically cleaned or you need
to deal with carpet problems like stains, water damage, burn marks, and the
like, look for a service provider that has the necessary expertise and
experience in that area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">2. Go Beyond
The Yellow Pages.</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> Do not just hire the services of the first
carpet cleaning firm you happen to see on the Yellow Pages. Remember, many carpet cleaners spend serious
bucks just to make sure that their Yellow Pages placement would attract their
prospective clients’ attention. Not that
there is anything wrong with this. It is
just prudent to always keep in mind that the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Bethesda</st1:place></st1:city> carpet cleaning firms that can
afford to spend a lot of money for ads may not necessarily be the ones that can
provide you the best service for the kind of carpet cleaning that you
need. So, it would be wise to shop
around first to know your options before making any decision.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">3. Read Online
Reviews.</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> With more and more <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Bethesda</st1:place></st1:city> residents finding their way to
cyberspace, many of them post or share their reviews or experiences with the
carpet cleaning companies they have hired in many consumer sites. By reading these online reviews and client
feedback, you can get an insight whether a particular carpet cleaning service
is the right one for your needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">4. Get
Referrals.</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> If there are people who can give you the most
honest feedback and referrals on the carpet cleaning companies they have done
business with in the past, they would be your family, friends, and
colleagues. Ask them if they could
recommend you a reliable carpet cleaning service and they would be more than
happy to refer you to one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">5. Ask
Questions.</span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;"> Call up the carpet cleaning service providers
in your shortlist and get quotes or estimates.
A reliable carpet cleaner would inspect and assess your carpet cleaning
needs before giving you a quote and would educate you on what needs to be done
on your carpet. So, ask questions to be
enlightened in order for you to make an informed decision.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">These are just some of the
ways for you to find the best possible services in carpet cleaning <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Bethesda</st1:city> <st1:state w:st="on">MD</st1:state></st1:place>
carpet cleaners are offering. Remember
to consider your carpet cleaning needs first and look for the right carpet
cleaner accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>macelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069939440737435689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447049507789523743.post-17568527522990301172011-09-15T08:02:00.001-07:002011-09-15T08:06:52.681-07:00The Art Of Proofreading<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">After all the research and
the actual writing, next comes the need to proofread what you have
written. Proofreading lets you see and
correct the errors you may have overlooked while writing. You need to do this to ensure that your
written work is accurate and flawless.
However thorough your research was and however good your writing style
is, all these will be overshadowed by the errors you failed to correct just
because you were not able to proofread your work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In this era of computer
technology, many of us are complacent regarding the need to proofread
everything we write. For one, Microsoft
Word and other similar programs are equipped with spelling and grammar check
functions that automatically flag certain grammatical and spelling errors as we
type. There are also many sites on the
Internet that electronically check articles and other written work for any
spelling or grammar issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjddO3zirjywEXpn8UnGEoZXHzhBXxoOJiNjuPonn3lZREVNGHqO3GYsmI6DnSZ_miMfv8aT35G2WKBtxelmnfU7b0pMG5nLS61bUQ6py-7ZGfxrZIzKBZnVmaNQZR-TSfmlPS61G7REEM/s1600/bob.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjddO3zirjywEXpn8UnGEoZXHzhBXxoOJiNjuPonn3lZREVNGHqO3GYsmI6DnSZ_miMfv8aT35G2WKBtxelmnfU7b0pMG5nLS61bUQ6py-7ZGfxrZIzKBZnVmaNQZR-TSfmlPS61G7REEM/s200/bob.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Since computers have the
said feature, many of us forego proofreading our written work. More often than not, we just look for the red
and green underlines to see if we misspelled a word or if there were any
grammatical mistakes in our work. Using
online grammar and spell checking sites also have similar mechanisms. We can just then right-click on the
underlined or highlighted word or phrase and select from the correction
suggestions of the computer in order to correct the error. Voila, we are set to go. This is one reason why many experts posit
that the art of proofreading is dying.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">However, there are many
errors that can not be recognized by computers or by any software. If we don’t proofread our work after having
the computer check its grammar and spelling, we could be overlooking serious
mistakes or errors in our written work.
When your work gets published, it could be very embarrassing. Worse, it could even hurt your reputation as
a writer. Whatever convenience
technology brings, there is still no beating the age-old art of proofreading.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Reading your written work
once and correcting the errors as you go is not enough. You need to read it again until you are
satisfied with your work. If you need to
use certain citations styles for your work, you can double check them to see if
you did it right. You can also try
reading your work aloud to check whether it sounds good. There are times when you recognize certain
errors, which you have not recognized before while reading it, because they
don’t sound right when you read them aloud.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you have enough time, try
sleeping on your work. You can then
proofread it again after you wake up.
After sleeping, you can see your work in a fresh and new
perspective. After being refreshed by
sleep, you are then in a better position to be more objective. Your mind has rested so it can see your work
in another light. This way, you can spot
more errors that you have committed.
Only then can you make your work water tight and flawless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The newly-renovated Kalibo International Airport is just an hour and a half away and the trip from the airport to Boracay is a scenic one. The town of Malay also has its own airport, which caters to smaller airplanes, and it is just minutes away from the Caticlan Jetty Port, your jump-off point to Boracay.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since millions of local and foreign tourists flock to Boracay every year, a lot of improvements have been done to various facilities and to the roads going to and from Boracay. As a pure-blooded Aklanon, I have first been to Boracay when I was 8 years old. The road then was so dusty that I was all covered in dust when we arrived in Caticlan. The boats plying to Boracay then were small and there were only a few resorts on the island.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, transportation to Boracay has been made a lot easier and faster. Concrete roads have been constructed and improved to accommodate the various vehicles that go to Caticlan. The highway from Kalibo to Caticlan is also a part of Philippines’ Nautical Highway so it also a major thoroughfare for buses that ply the RoRo or Roll-on/Roll-off route. Moreover, many jeepneys, L300 vans, and shuttle buses now transport passengers to the Caticlan Jetty Port.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are not sure where to go, you can always ask the friendly public transportation drivers or locals for direction. Once you arrive at the Caticlan Jetty Port, you are just one boat ride away from Boracay. And speaking of boats, you can choose between a regular boat and a fast craft. If you have already booked in a Boracay hotel, chances are, they have their own boat to ferry their guests to and from the island. Whatever the case may be, don’t forget to don on a life jacket. Jetty port authorities won’t allow boats to leave the dock if even a single passenger is not wearing a life jacket.</span></div>macelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069939440737435689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447049507789523743.post-15325259843583119472011-08-14T04:22:00.000-07:002011-08-14T04:51:31.866-07:00GUILTY! A Look Into The Most Common Fashion Mistakes Committed By Middle-aged Women<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: Arial;"></span><br />

Middle-age is not considered now as a time in women’s lives to go all frumpy and dowdy but a time to reinvent themselves. There are many options available now, especially in the realm of fashion, to middle-aged women for them to still look good and feel good. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

Aside from considering your budget, the kind of soccer gloves that you should buy depends on your activity. If you are just into soccer for leisure and you only play occasionally, it would be okay to buy cheap soccer gloves. If you are playing in a competition, then you should look for soccer gloves that are durable and with the special features that you need. Durability and performance are very important considerations if you are a serious athlete. There are also soccer gloves that are most suitable when training and there are those that are best suited for competitions.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">With the many kinds of soccer gloves available in the market today, every soccer player must have a hard time choosing the best pair for them. This year, the Sondico Pro Tech Roll Soccer Keeper Gloves stands out as a finalist in Buzzillion’s Reviewers’ Choice 2011. Here are some of the reasons why you should seriously consider the Sondico Pro Tech Roll Soccer Keeper Gloves for your next soccer game:<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">1<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. Unique Special Features</b>. Two of the best known features of Sondico Pro Tech Roll Soccer Keeper Gloves are its HyperPro Tech non-removable finger braces and Giga Grip German 3.5 mm latex palm suitable for all playing conditions. According to Sondico, the Giga Grip German 3.5 latex palm feature ensures “superior tackiness in all conditions.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">However, some goal keepers who prefer FingerSave soccer gloves would not find this feature in the Sondico Pro Tech Roll Soccer Keeper Gloves. The Sondico Pro Tech Roll Soccer Keeper Gloves does not have this feature but Sondico compensates this with its Pure Pro Tech Roll technology that helps goal keepers make tough saves. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">When buying soccer gloves, it is crucial that you get the right fit. Aside from missed balls, soccer gloves that are loose fitting can slip and may lead to certain injuries. Aside from consulting size charts, it would be best to fit the soccer gloves first before buying them. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

However, you need to make sure that you look at the manufacturer’s business website for their sizing information. You also need to make sure that the online site you are buying from has a good exchange and return policy in case the soccer gloves sent to you is not a perfect fit.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

But failing to keep these shoes in order and in their proper places is. Without a shoe shelf to contain and let you organize your shoes, you will definitely have difficulty finding the shoes that you need time and again.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A shoe shelf is a must in every home, whether you live alone or have a big family. This would prevent the clutter of various kinds of footwear around the house.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The kind of shoe shelf that a home needs depends largely on the need of the family. Another consideration would be the available space and how a shoe shelf would fit in into the overall décor and interior design.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">There are many kinds and designs of shoe shelves that are available in the market nowadays. One can easily purchase a shoe shelf that would match one’s needs. On the other hand, one can also have it custom made.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">If there is a scarcity of space, there are shoe shelf designs that save up space. One can choose the ones that can be hung at the back of the closet, or vinyl chests that can be stacked up, or expandable racks that are widely available today. There are also revolving shoe shelves and those that can be placed under the bed. And if none of these suit you, you can have your very own shoe shelf constructed according to your specifications. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A shoe shelf is a must not only in order to keep your shoes organized. It is also important to protect your shoes from moisture, dust, and other elements for them to still look good and to last a long time.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">The written form has been considered as one of the most effective forms of communication. Ever since humankind has devised a way of writing, it has been used to impart virtually all kinds of information. The importance of the written word can never be underestimated in whatever realm of human existence.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In this modern world where the internet technology has changed the world and how we do a lot of things, the written word still dominate as most people who use the internet are in search for information. One way by which formation is imparted is through online articles. Businesses that operate in the online realm use the article marketing technique to make their online presence more felt.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">With the developments in technology, more and more possibilities are realized on the online realm. One alternative to imparting information is through videos. YouTube and other similar sites are becoming more popular than ever because they present information audio-visually. One only needs to watch and listen about the information being given by a video.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the field of internet marketing, there are also many ways, other than by article marketing, by which internet marketers can reach their target audience. The developments in technology have opened up for many possibilities and have triggered some people to ask whether articles marketing is indeed dying and whether it can be rendered passé by technology.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While some internet marketers are getting fidgety about the continued effectiveness of article marketing, there are still many who are confident that the importance of articles in the online realm will remain. Let us go back to the basic reason why most people surf the Net. It is because they are in search for certain information and they want it fast. Though videos may deliver information faster than an article, there are many people who cannot retain information just from a single watching of a video.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, although many countries of the world can be reached by the internet, many people still don’t have access to high speed internet and this makes video streaming difficult for them. Moreover, for people who want to have their own copy of the resource or of the information they need, it is much easier to access and download articles than videos. Furthermore, videos require a script and many scripts are based on articles.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is also worthy to mention that there are certain information that can be best conveyed through a text-based format like an article. For example, it would be too cumbersome to use a video if you only want to convey a simple message or a set of simple tips. The bottom line here is there are information that can be best conveyed using the video format while there are those that are best imparted in a text-based format.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As to the question whether article marketing is dying, it certainly is not nor will it be replaced by video marketing. Both videos and articles are best used side by side to complement one another, rather than against each other, and provide web users the kind of information that they need.</div>macelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069939440737435689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447049507789523743.post-40844641947393679612011-06-29T03:06:00.000-07:002011-07-07T08:15:28.572-07:00The Horizontal Challenge<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh35SfbI3UexLVp4xDbi4_DUxgKZ2l6HuRJpW1Vph5fLjKknpJ-ZlQLfxxTpiQ4uDpUqONKBZTbbBhqCjj6tADMyNqev4UdWPFfO4A0hxPDfUMohUXVuJQeKVpnlEzVBsXLShAYuaMMpeU/s1600/horizontal.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623653030441629298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh35SfbI3UexLVp4xDbi4_DUxgKZ2l6HuRJpW1Vph5fLjKknpJ-ZlQLfxxTpiQ4uDpUqONKBZTbbBhqCjj6tADMyNqev4UdWPFfO4A0hxPDfUMohUXVuJQeKVpnlEzVBsXLShAYuaMMpeU/s320/horizontal.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 161px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 320px;" /></a><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’ve put on more or less 10 kilos and I’m already bursting to the seams. I feel like an oddball in this country of undernourished people. This past year, I’ve been having five heaping full meals a day. A few kilos more and I’ll walk in the streets naked because not one of my clothes will fit me.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before, I took pride in being slim despite my voracious appetite. Now, I sport flabby arms, a second chin, a three-story belly, and dimples of cellulite in my legs. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t really care how I look. My main concerns are my narrowing choices in clothes and the increased risk in cardiovascular ailments. Why, oh why, did I bloat like this?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’ll let you in a secret… I eat more when I’m depressed. My frustrations translate to cravings; and I eat and eat until I become relaxed and composed. It has become an outlet of my psychological wreckage. Calorie-laden food is in front of me even as I exorcise my inner anguish while writing this article. Try as I may, I can’t seem to trace how it all started. If I remember it right, nothing much has changed in my eating pattern. I only changed my lifestyle. Maybe my more laidback and sedentary lifestyle now is the culprit?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“What should I do?” is the more pressing question. Some friends advised that I should go on a diet. How? I’m a true-blue glutton to diet. Besides, I find the idea of dieting for vanity’s sake absolutely abhorring. I don’t want to join the cult of those who go on a hunger strike and shun away from the bounties of this earth just to look alluring before the eyes of every drooling male. If ever I’ll go on a diet, it would be because I want to feel good about myself and not because I want to hook every member of the male specie who’ll come my way. Girls, bear in mind that sexiness is relative. There are times when skinny women are sexy and when voluptuousness is the “in” thing. In other cultures, fat is sexy. Whatever you o and however you look, it’s how you carry yourself that matters.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another option is for me to have an exercise regimen; but I’m too lazy to exercise. Or I can do both dieting and exercising but the prospect doesn’t appeal to me just yet. The desperate option would be to cease eating but I just can’t stop taking in food. I don’t want to die, mind you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I’m still where I began. I’m fat and I don’t know what to do. I’m sure I’m not alone in this predicament. A couple of my friends also have weight problems. In my case, my body mass index is still within the normal range but I feel so heavy and sluggish. I can’t wear my favorite shirts and jeans. And I don’t have the money or resources to upgrade m y wardrobe.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I know how my horizontally-challenged friends feel. Profuse sweating follows my every move. By the end of the day, I feel super duper sticky to the max and so lethargic to do anything. And it’s definitely not healthy. I always feel nauseous and exhausted. The gravitational pull is weighing me down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was never a stickler for healthy living. My habits are far from wholesome. Now, I am forced to re-examine my lifestyle and maybe introduce a few changes. You see, I don’t have much choice. In the meantime, I won’t let bodily aesthetics bother me. I’m me and you might as well accept that. Besides, they say that beauty is not in the physical aspects of a person. As Christina Aguilera’s song goes, “ I am beautiful, no matter what they say”. On the other hand, I might just opt for an exercise program; it will help especially that my genes are susceptible to hypertension. I’m going to do it for myself and not for anybody else.</span></div>macelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069939440737435689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447049507789523743.post-67056296256495220712011-06-28T07:51:00.000-07:002011-07-07T09:23:22.317-07:00Calorie Deficit Is The Key To Fat Loss<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEion_d8_1AD2eH2dCLd7JR2IeQlxHWlUlbGupbe2ip0NDzdsmaKiavowlgR7QeO3EI1O-3kXbzQy4sgbvFjCxcVMgfEDU4Qmifq5OCLq4p-K7v0jOUDSXLjeRKl6AMwzpokyv4g9F5zrb8/s1600/caalorie.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="200" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623284131427566962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEion_d8_1AD2eH2dCLd7JR2IeQlxHWlUlbGupbe2ip0NDzdsmaKiavowlgR7QeO3EI1O-3kXbzQy4sgbvFjCxcVMgfEDU4Qmifq5OCLq4p-K7v0jOUDSXLjeRKl6AMwzpokyv4g9F5zrb8/s200/caalorie.jpg" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="112" /></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">For many people who want to lose weight, they believe that calorie deficit is the key to fat loss. The principle behind this belief is that by burning more calories than what was consumed, a calorie deficit results. Calorie deficit, in turn, forces the body to tap into its energy stores, particularly the fat cells. When this happens, fat loss and weight loss will result.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The amount of calories one consumes or burns off in a single day does not matter that much. It is the amount of consumed and burned off calories over a period of time that matters as far as weight loss is concerned. This means that when you are trying to have a calorie deficit to be able to lose weight and you had a moment of weakness, you do not need to get off your healthy eating plan and weight loss program. A single calorie laden snack does not matter and will not hurt you in the long run. It is the calories that you consumed and burned off during your whole program that matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Essentially, there are two main processes involved in achieving weight loss via calorie deficit. The first is having less calorie intake and the second is burning more calories. Consuming less calories is relatively simple and easy. You can either eat food that is low in calories or eat less of the food that you used to eat. If you don’t want to strictly count your calories, have small meals every four hours. You can have these small balanced meals with lean protein sources, whole grain carbohydrates, and lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. By doing this, you can restrict your calorie intake without having to starve or count everything you take in.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The second process, the burning of calories, involves a person’s metabolism and activity levels. Generally speaking, the more active a person is, the more energy is needed by the body so the more calories are burned in the process. The more active you are, the higher concentrations of calories you will be able to burn. This is why exercise is very important if you want to lose weight. Exercise regularly and adopt an active lifestyle. Chose to use the stairs, for example, instead of using the elevator or go for a regular evening stroll to create a higher calorie deficit.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">A person’s metabolism is also very important because the higher it runs, the more calories are burned even when one is resting. The more muscle tissues a person has, the higher that person’s metabolism will be. The rationale behind this is that more energy is needed by the muscles to sustain themselves. Therefore, people who want to achieve calorie deficit in order to lose weight also need to do strength exercises.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>macelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069939440737435689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447049507789523743.post-82545087798447691102011-06-28T07:17:00.000-07:002011-07-07T09:22:42.118-07:00Easy Ways To Make Money Online<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhElEbarbejCmqSNTHze1q2e6MiHBpD5cGoleOhCJP1LeyrZoRVu67PSbzIBGZI3cBAvj-1drCUJjRD-AyAg6HxfKUsxBxmq6fk450eRY1LjJRl2Qq26tRKbqNyr43R1vP-yRK3U04Fjzw/s1600/money.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="200" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623574635192454866" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhElEbarbejCmqSNTHze1q2e6MiHBpD5cGoleOhCJP1LeyrZoRVu67PSbzIBGZI3cBAvj-1drCUJjRD-AyAg6HxfKUsxBxmq6fk450eRY1LjJRl2Qq26tRKbqNyr43R1vP-yRK3U04Fjzw/s200/money.jpg" style="float: left; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px;" width="146" /></a><br />

Being able to raise, tend for, and pick your own backyard grown grapes can be a marvelous experience. Moreover, grapes can get expensive when you buy it in shops and you can save a lot if you grow your own grapes. Your family would also greatly appreciate it if they eat grapes that are products of your own hands and hard work.</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';">The matter of grape growing is not as simple as it seems. To be able to succeed in your grape growing endeavor, perseverance and attention to the basic requirements of grape growing are the keys. One would need to extend the proper care and attention to the grape vines for them to be productive. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';">If you are really bent on your grape growing venture, there are certain things that you may want to bear in mind like the variety of grapes you choose. It must be suitable to the weather and the soil in your area. How the grapevines thrive in your place depends not only on how you care for it but also on the suitability of its variety to the existing growing conditions in your area.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';">Another important consideration in grape growing is the matter of using a trellis. Did you know that grapes need lots and lots of sunlight to grow? Sunlight is very crucial for the growth of grape vines and it is a source of its vital nutrients. With a trellis, the grapevines can reach out to the sun and soak up the sunshine that they need. The proper ripeness of grapes cannot be reached without proper sunlight. Also, the size of your grape vines can be maximized with the help of a trellis. It would also be easier to see the parts of the vines that would need pruning when need arises.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';">A grape grower also needs to know the needs of the variety of the grape planted to be able to anticipate its vigor and growth. There are grape varieties that would need a lot of space. Various grape plant varieties also have different soil needs. The variety of grape also determines whether your grapevines would need more pruning or not. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';">When growing grapes, it also important to keep the weeds and fungal diseases that commonly affects grapevines under control. Using a trellis for your grapevines would greatly facilitate the task of getting rid of weeds. Moreover, using a trellis can also help in enhancing the flow of air to reduce the exposure and vulnerability of the grapevines to various fungal diseases. Treatment of fungal diseases is also made easier with the use of a trellis as the overall exposure of the grapevines is better.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';">It will take at least two years before grapevines can begin producing fruits that you can set on your table. The amount and the quality of produce depend mostly on the care given to the plant. The grapevines should be fed, watered, and pruned correctly for it to grow well and abundantly.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>macelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069939440737435689noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6447049507789523743.post-71451818269746745952011-06-28T01:26:00.000-07:002011-06-29T02:55:47.670-07:00Enhancing Connectivity With A Blackberry Phone<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie6uliTP2V2zIbwpV8EkU4zVnba_OoNQzcCWK-SLVd9FoIptV2JDkryN6NnnTJyN_TSTAicHg_KieMsl4AuIsAJ0DRZ6U3MUzks7KH6kPccoYWEoxnkzTh5iqvxwHkjHPgVYYq7bipTZQ/s1600/phone.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 159px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie6uliTP2V2zIbwpV8EkU4zVnba_OoNQzcCWK-SLVd9FoIptV2JDkryN6NnnTJyN_TSTAicHg_KieMsl4AuIsAJ0DRZ6U3MUzks7KH6kPccoYWEoxnkzTh5iqvxwHkjHPgVYYq7bipTZQ/s200/phone.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623577825685678210" /></a>

It does not mean that a product for anti aging treatments is already effective just because they are more expensive. A product may be more expensive because of the advertising costs and not because of the effectivity of the anti aging treatments. On the other hand, it does not necessarily follow that inexpensive products do not have the key ingredients to produce outstanding results in anti aging treatments.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 9.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />

If you see some results within a few days of use of these anti aging treatments, they may be able to give you dramatic results over time. If you can’t the results these anti aging treatments claim to produce over their advertised time frame, how much more over an extended period of time? If you have been using certain products for anti aging treatments for months and you still can’t see any visible result, ditch them and find something else.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 9.0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />

Many smokers now buy electronic cigarette instead of the traditional cigarette. There are many advantages and benefits when using electronic cigarettes so more and more smokers now make the switch and buy electronic cigarette.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When smokers buy electronic cigarette, they will not be harming the environment as the “smoke” that comes from the electronic device is not really smoke but nicotine vapor. When you buy electronic cigarette, know that you will not be harming the environment with pollutants, chemicals, carcinogens, and carbon monoxide just like what is given off by real cigarette smoke.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you are just starting out, it would be wise to buy electronic cigarette starter kit or pack. Chargers are usually included when you buy electronic cigarette starter pack, along with the basic nicotine cartridges, batteries, and atomizer. You also usually get a user’s manual when you buy electronic cigarette starter kits to guide you in how to use the electronic cigarette device. This is very helpful especially to beginners who don’t know how to go about using the device after they buy electronic cigarette starter packs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you buy electronic cigarette, you are usually not covered by smoking bans against real cigarettes. Since you don’t give off second hand smoke when smoking electronic cigarettes, unlike when smoking real cigarettes, you will not be harming other people. Another reason why you should buy electronic cigarette is because it is more economical, by as much as 75%, than traditional cigarettes that are commercially available in packs. A single nicotine cartridge of electronic cigarettes is equivalent to many sticks of regular cigarettes. Aside from this, smoking electronic cigarettes is very convenient as you don’t have to look for a lighter or match to light it. These are but some of the reasons why you should make the switch and buy electronic cigarette now.</div></div>macelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14069939440737435689noreply@blogger.com0
