Keep plants around the house. Plants are amazing at cleaning their environment. Having them in your house can reduce indoor air pollutants by more than half. Great choices are English ivy and peace lilies, which absorb toxic gases like benzene and formaldehyde. Just be sure that if you have pets and/or small children that you opt for plants that are not poisonous.

Never flush your old medications. In almost everyone’s medicine cabinet there is expired medications. But whatever you do, do not flush them! That puts them into the water, which can be dangerous. Instead inquire at your pharmacy about whether they will take them and dispose of them properly. If they cannot handle them they will at least be able to tell you where you can take them.

Don’t waste heat when the fireplace is on. An open fireplace wastes up to 85% of the gas it uses because, like a wood-burning fireplace, the fire sucks heat from inside and sends it out through the chimney. Direct-vent gas fireplaces burn more efficiently and can save you money.

Use less water when you bathe. Baths typically use less water than showers. So whenever possible opt for a soak in the tub. If you prefer showers keep them short. Ten minutes is way too long. And be sure to install a low-flow showerhead and faucet to reduce the amount of water. You can cut back nearly 50% of the water used and barely even notice the difference.

Install new toilets. Newer toilets use significantly less water than older ones. And the low-flush toilets not only conserve water but they actually reduce the greenhouse gases produced in the water-purification process. If you can’t afford to buy a new toilet, a great alternative is to place a plastic water bottle – with the cap on – in the tank. Doing so means less water is used for each flush.

Have it fixed instead of throwing it out. With the price of many consumer goods getting less and less every year, it’s tempting to simply replace old electronics and appliances when they break. But often they can be repaired for a fraction of the cost. Not only do you save money, but you’re keeping that item out of the landfill.

Hang your clothes to dry. The average household does more than 400 loads of laundry in a year. That is a lot of electricity to dry all those clothes! You can cut this down dramatically by hanging your clothes to dry. In the winter months opt for an indoor drying rack. When it’s warm outside you can move your indoor rack out to a deck or patio, or use an outdoor clothesline. There are many new styles of clotheslines available now that are easily removable when not in use or that can be elevated to keep them out of the way.

Reduce the waste when giving gifts. Instead of wrapping paper, choose newspaper (the comics work great when they’re in color), reusable gift bags or even leftover wallpaper. When you receive a gift packaged in a reusable material be sure to save it for later. Also save your greeting cards and recycle them into gift tags.

Chapter 10: Scrapbooking and Beyond.

Once you have mastered your first scrapbook, you can begin to demonstrate your talent elsewhere. There are several ways to express your creative side while adding your personal touch to a gift for a friend or family member. Whether you are attending a party or planning a shower the items you can decorate are endless.

The first tip is to stock up on items when they go on sale. You can never have enough paint, glue, or ribbon in your collection. These are just some of the simple items to help jazz up ordinary gifts.

It’s also a good idea to purchase plain brown paper gift bags. You can find these at retail store or even dollar stores. Purchase them in a bundle to save on your budget. Homemade gift bags work perfect for party bags or goodie bags. You may want to add a hot glue gun if you are planning to add embellishments to your bags. Gems come in a colorful variety and are easy to attach. Using smaller gems to spell a name on a gift bag will personalize each bag.

If you are doing this for your child’s party, they would love to help decorate their goodie bags. Gems come in several styles as well; stars, hearts, bows, and letters are just a few. You may want to paint or draw their friends names on the goodie bags. You don’t have to use special paint or ink unless you are placing a photo on the bag. After you let the paint dry for about an hour start decorating the rest of the bag. Use sport embellishments for the boys and gems for the girls. To close the bag shut, simply tie the handles together using raffia or ribbon.

Designing a picture frame can bring meaning to an ordinary frame. You can stencil a name at the top of the frame. Create a name for your grandmother on her birthday. Use stencils or letter blocks to decorate around the frame. Glue on enhancements that represent your grandmother’s lifestyle. Use stickers, stamps, and bows, to accent the frame. Have your children add their own touches and write their names.

Design a travel mug with your children’s pictures around the mug. You can purchase these mugs at photo shops for a small price. They have travel coffee mugs for those on the go or regular coffee mugs for the home. This is a great gift for the hard to buy Father’s Day gift.

Designing names out of letter blocks is a great accent to bedroom wall. The letters can be purchased unfinished, so you can paint them the colors of your choice. To add detail to each of the letters, paint on stripes, polka dots, or squares on them.

Don’t be afraid to try new ideas while crating that perfect gift. This will be something they will treasure forever. Spending some quality time with your family while creating these wonderful projects is what makes them special.

If you are like many entrepreneurs, then you know that it is essential to have a good deal of knowledge when it comes to running your business.

As we have talked about, it is important to make sure that those that are providing you with the necessary information are doing so without taking all of your money just so that you can spend more.

For example, some of the most common mistakes the entrepreneurs that are just starting out make is that they just keep purchasing information. This is especially true of those that are starting a business online.

There is no doubt that you do need to have a good amount of knowledge to make something happen. You need to know how to get started, you need to know what steps to take and you need to know just where to do all of this. But, there is a limit.

One thing that you should take into consideration is your ability to make decisions. Once you have purchased the latest tell all kit, realize that you are ready to make some decisions.

If you purchase one kit or program and see another that seems to offer some additional benefits, you may be tempted purchase that one too. After all, it can not hurt to have some more information, can it?

Procrastination is a schedule buster. It?s easy to put things off until later, especially when you dread the task such as writing a term paper. But in college, this is a real problem. If you put off your assignments or studying for tests, you are only hurting yourself. Procrastinating leads to stress and anxiety not to mention poor performance. You CAN stop procrastination from affecting your schoolwork.

It can be difficult to start working. Most of the time, however, not starting seems to be related to fear of poor results or negative evaluations than it is to the actual difficulty of the work. Aim to subdivide tasks into small steps and convince yourself that to get started all you need is 10 full minutes working on a task. Often, the 10 minutes will elapse and you'll be right into the swing of things, prepared to continue on productively.

Sometimes you just don't feel motivated to do your schoolwork. It might help to realize that for many people motivation isn't a prerequisite to action…it is a result of it! Try working for a short time and see if you can "get into it."

If your motivation problem seems more substantial, it might help to realize that when you aren't motivated to do school work, you aren't actually out of motivation…you're just motivated to do something else.

Make a schedule. Allocate specific times to complete tasks using daily planners. We have a whole chapter on that in this book. Your planner should always be handy and you should refer to it often. Once you make your schedule, follow it. Work with a roommate or friend to motivate each other. Remember always that once the work is done, you will have more time for yourself, so stick with that schedule.

Make two activity lists: “Things I Like To Do” and “Things I Have To Do”. Mix up activities from both lists and work on each activity for a short period of time. Alternating between fun and work helps to maintain motivation and interest. All work and no fun is another schedule buster. You don?t have to be working ALL the time, but you do have to complete what needs to be done.

Sometimes, you may feel overwhelmed with large projects. This is a normal reaction. When you feel like this, it?s easier to put it off because you don?t know exactly where to start and have a difficult time envisioning the completed task. Divide these major assignments into smaller parts and work on one part at a time. Then put them together into the whole project and feel the satisfaction of a job well done!

Chapter 2: Why Viral Marketing?

Here are a few reasons why viral marketing is very important!

Leverage On Other People’s List

Internet marketing gurus always talk about building your mailing list. Mailing lists are important because it is true that the money is always in the list.

Most of the time, some Internet marketers will beg other marketers (especially those with a bigger list size) to promote their products, do an ad swap or help them to build their own lists in general.

But what if, instead of relying on YOUR OWN LIST, you can LEVERAGE on other people’s list?

You see, in Internet marketing, there is always someone who has a biggest list size than you. These people will always want to sell products.

How to Create an Out-of-Control Viral Marketing Campaign!

If you can create products (such as master resell rights or no restriction private label rights products) and give them the rights to sell YOUR products with YOUR ads in it, you will be getting constant advertising for FREE and people are doing it WILLINGLY for you!

After all, when you promote a product to your list, it is still limited in the sense that you can only mail your list once or twice, but having your products being promoted all over the Internet, will take the burden off the lists and give you additional streams of income.

The Power Of Exponential Growth

Many people neglect the power of viral marketing because they have this misconception that it yields very little at the start. They feel that they would rather promote their products by themselves rather than share the product with other resellers.

The same applies with blog posts. (See the chapter on blogs and themes below).

Let’s do a little math.

Would you rather make $100,000 a month or make build a campaign that doubles in revenue starting at $0.01 a day for every next day?

1 ? 2 ? 4 ? 8 ? 16 ?32 ? 64 ? 128 ? 256 ?512 ……… MILLIONS!

The power of exponential growth tells us that you will become a millionaire after almost 30 days! (2 to the power of 30!!!)

Do you see the power of viral marketing?

How to Create an Out-of-Control Viral Marketing Campaign!

Whether you are getting one new subscriber a day or one sale a day, you will be able to generate lots of traffic just by viral marketing alone!

Now to be realistic, even with the UNLIMITED growth potential on the Internet, there will come a time where there is a saturation point. But it still doesn’t dispute the fact that there are millions of customers (and many resellers) that will market for you and expand your efforts FOR YOU!

It is always a good idea to build several viral marketing channels. That way, even when your viral campaign starts to slow down (due to saturation), you will still be able to leverage on many channels and build your list or your affiliate commissions.

In the subsequent chapters, we will explore a few tools, both free and paid sources that will enable you to build several viral campaigns and watch as traffic beats a path to your virtual doorstep! How to Create an Out-of-Control Viral Marketing Campaign!

CHAPTER 4: WHAT TO DO WHEN ID THEFT OCCURS

All right, so it happened. Even with all of the precautions and care you’ve taken to protect yourself from those spineless and despicable thieves, somehow and someway they found a way to the inside…to the inside your personal and financial life that is. Now don’t be too hard on yourself.

I know that you’re saying to yourself right now, “I did everything I could possibly do. I took the time to make myself aware and educate myself on the facts and this still happened…why?” Well, unfortunately sometimes there is no real answer to the question why, it just is what it is. You have to keep in mind that these perpetrators are professionals and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.

Just like you go to work everyday and perform your job with the proficiency and skills that you have acquired, so do they. Their job everyday is to rip off honest, hardworking and innocent people such as you and I. It’s not fair and it never will be. They have made a huge mess of your life and you are the one who is stuck with the task of picking up the pieces and turning things right again. Sometimes you can build that fence higher, make the bridge more difficult to cross and even fill the moat with alligators, but inevitably there will always remain a weak and penetrable spot.

Identity thieves are adept at looking for and seeking out those particular spots. The most important thing for you to keep in mind right now is that regardless of how much damage was done and how bad the situation looks at present, it could always be worse. Think about what would have happened had you not already been so familiar with how identity theft works. You may not have been able to prevent it but you certainly knew how to recognize the fact that it was happening to you.

The signs were there and you didn’t just dismiss them, as many others would have this early in the process. Maybe you noticed that your credit card statements had not arrived at the time of month that they generally should have. Perhaps during regular review of your bank statements you noticed some unusual transactions that you had not made.

Maybe in looking more closely at the checks that had been returned to you from the bank you realized that one or several of them were made payable to an unknown individual, tipping you off to the fact that some of your checks had been stolen. Whatever the situation, you are to be congratulated for catching on so quickly. You now have the ability to stop this thief cold in his tracks and prevent him/her from violating your privacy any further. This could have gone on for months and months or perhaps even years and in the process could have resulted in hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of built up debt and a lifetime of rebuilding the reputable line of credit you once had.

The greatest expense you're going to incur in conducting a successful business is advertising.

You have to advertise. Your business cannot grow and flourish unless you advertise. Advertising is the "life-blood" of any profitable business. And regardless of where or how you advertise, it's going to cost you in some form or another.

Every successful business is built upon, and continues to thrive, primarily, on good advertising. The top companies in the world allocate millions of dollars annually to their advertising budget.

Of course, when starting from a garage, basement or kitchen table, you can't quite match their advertising efforts... At least not in the beginning.

But there is a way you can approximate their maneuvers without actually spending their kind of money. And that's through "P.I" Advertising.

"P.I." stands for per inquiry. This kind of advertising is most generally associated with broadcasting, where you pay only for the responses you get to your advertising message.

It's very popular- akin to pay-per-click, and is used by many more advertisers than most people realize.

The advantages of PI Advertising are all in favor of the advertiser because with this kind of an advertising arrangement, you can pay only for the results the advertising produces.

To get in on this "free" advertising, start with a loose leaf notebook, and about 100 sheets of filler paper. Next, either visit your public library and start poring through the Broadcast Yearbook on radio stations in the U.S., or Standard Rate and Data Services Directory on Spot Radio.
