Synopsis

Persistence is probably one of the most admirable characteristics that a person may possess. This is the ability to be determined and achieve something, no matter what hindrances they may be facing. Having persistence will give you the courage to succeed, even if others quit in the middle of their journey. There may be different reasons why people quit, but regardless of the reason, their courage and persistence has driven them toward their goals. But, how can you have persistence?

“No great achievement is possible without persistent work.” – Bertrand Russell

Developing Persistence

Being persistent is one of the characteristics you should develop if you want to reach your goals, get what you desire, and may even be the means by which you assert yourself in facing difficult or stubborn people. The application of persistence on various tasks, goals and interactions in life is often what sets apart those who fail and those who are successful in life.

Many people have the capacity to set their plans and goals toward success. However, only a few succeed as only some stick to their goals or plans until they are accomplished. Most of them stop before they even take the first step. Often, they let fears or doubts paralyze them and keeps them from moving forward. But sometimes, others have motivation that is not firm enough for their goals to be met.
If you want to be persistent, here are some ways to develop persistence:

1. Determine Your Wants and Desires

Before you can successfully develop persistence and achieve success, you have to identify your desires or wants. You can do this by writing down all the things you would like to accomplish or have. Write down all of your wants and desires, even if some are impossible to achieve at the moment.

Chapter 10: Studying With Mind Mapping Techniques

Effective Techniques for Effective Studying

Mind mapping is the technique, which maximizes the use of the person’s brain power and enables you to study and preserve information more efficiently. Because of this characteristic, mind maps have been recognized to be very efficient once utilized for studying.

Mind maps function in similar concept that of our brain and mind, through processing and retaining information in the visual way. It may take the fundamental idea of the ways your mind organizes information, ideas and thoughts to produce a structure that allows easier learning and recalling.

Edging The Skis Confidently

Synopsis

For the more advanced skier, there is the need to fine tune the condition of the skis to create optimum results on every ski run. One of these exercises should include ski tuning which is edging.

Edging The Right Way

Although, for some, this is a rather personalized preference, most skiers ultimately use the manufacturer’s recommendations on the angles with which to vary the edge depending on the brand between one to three degrees. These are the angles the skis are generally designed around, thus giving the skier adequate room to make maneuverable adjustments. In order to start the edging process, the skier requires tools such as a file and a file guide, although free hand edging is possible, it is not really recommended.

While using a visible marker, draw a line where the intended edging is to start and then commence the filing until the mark is no longer visible. This will not only help to indicate the accurate area that should be filed but will also ensure the amount filed is as desired. This is to be repeated on both sides to ensure a proper balance is created by the filing process. Once this has been done, wiping off any edge fragments should be done before the edge grinding is started, and this should be done in similar fashion as the filing. After the edges have been comfortable sharpened, there is a need to run the grinding rubber at about a forty five degree angle for a few inches at the tips and tails. This is to ensure the edges are dull enough to keep from catching an edge on the hill, but will keep it sufficiently edged and sharp under the boot. All this upkeep will ensure the skis are kept in optimum condition, as this will eventually contribute to a safer and enjoyable skiing experience.

er, takes on a more serious connotation, as there are several effecting elements connected to this important part of the skiing motion. Most skiers depend heavily on the ability to harness muscle power and fitness to keep in the skiing position as the balance really comes naturally until the skier is well experienced and relaxed enough to constitute this condition. As the reliance on the power and fitness element decreases, the skier will be more confident and relaxed, thus allowing the natural balance to take over and become more evident in the skiing motions. Keeping the skis about four inches apart, as opposed to keeping them together creates a better balancing stability, although this will be challenging for some as initially the skis may tend to cross frequently.

Although falling is usually a critical part of the learning process, for most people who are able to accept this, it proves to be a good way to help reduce the fear factor and also possible injury in the future. There are ways to fall that should be noted to reduce the level of injury sustained, and this includes falling backwards while using the backside to cushion the fall. Practice doing this by dropping uphill from the skis as relaxed as possible to ensure less likeliness of getting tangled in the skis.

Chapter 8: Conclusion, Tips and Tricks

And there you have it: everything you need to know to start creating a highly effective YouTube video advertising campaign. It’s a lot to take in but once you get stuck in, you’ll find that it’s easy and actually quite fun to learn on the job.

So where you do you go from here? After creating your account, the best thing to do is to try creating a simple video that sells a product by using people on Fiverr to create a whiteboard animation, or by making something in Excel. You can then set this up as a simple In-Stream advert and link it to a sales page selling your own information product or an affiliate product. This will very quickly teach you the basics of YouTube advertising and you’ll be able to learn what works and how to get set up.

From here, you can then go about building your YouTube channel by adding more content, setting up your page and trying out different advanced targeting options etc.

Over time, you’ll find that you grow and you’re able to increase traffic to your channel and drive more conversions and profit.

And as you do, keep in mind these tips to help you get even more from your efforts:

Consistent Branding

Keep your branding consistent across your videos and across your social media and website. Key to this is creating a great logo and again, it’s worth commissioning someone to do this if you’re unsure of your own skills in that department!

Make Your Videos Discoverable

You can set your adverts to be unlisted to prevent them showing up in searches but it’s not really the best move. It makes much more sense to let people discover your content and that way you can be seen by even more people!

Watch Your Metrics!

Keeping an eye on your metrics is the number one way to see what’s working and what’s not. Watch your analytics closely and tweak your videos and targeting for the best possible outcome.

Match Your Strategy to Your Brand

Don’t create a brand and then try to market it – create a product with a vision for how you’ll market it right at the start. This means researching niches, thinking about your current contacts and generally coming up with a synergistic plan.

And Your Video to Your Strategy

Likewise, make sure that your video is right for its intended purpose. Decide which type of YouTube ad you’ll be making before you create the video. This is important as you’ll need your video to be the right length for it to be selectable for certain types of advertising campaign.
