CHAPTER 5 -START EXERCISING TO INCINERATE BODY FAT

It's important to decide what type of working out you want to engage in- lifting weights, dancing, swimming, biking, etc.

It's important that whatever you choose, you choose something that you enjoy doing, to increase your chances of sticking to it. If, for example, you choose weight lifting, you could start off with a workout that looks something like this:

3 days a week, lift weights

Each time, do a full-body workout

Begin with stretches and some cardio to warm up

Do 3 sets of 8-12 reps of one exercise per each body part (i.e. shoulders, hamstrings, biceps, abs, etc.)

Stretch as part of a cool down routine

If you decide to do just cardio instead as a starter, you could do something like this:

3 days a week, do cardio

Each time, you can either do the same form of cardio or switch it up (i.e. elliptical trainer, treadmill, bike)

Begin with stretches and some very easy, slowpaced cardio to warm up

Workout for 15-30 minutes, depending on your ability level

Stretch as part of a cool down routine

It's important to start off slow and gradually build up. With weight lifting, you can add more weight to your lifts as you progress.

With cardio, you can add more time to your sessions as you progress. You don't want to jump in head deep and not have anywhere to progress to or over train and get burnt out. Baby steps are key when starting a workout program.

Once you reach your initial goal, you may find yourself setting another one, and that's great. It's important to always have something to work towards or look forward to. When you are able to view fitness, health and wellness as a journey and not just a destination, you will find it much more enjoyable.

CHAPTER 6 - MAKING LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT WILL HELP MAINTAIN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS FOREVER:

While New Year's may be the trigger for your resolutionsetting, motivation-gaining lifestyle change, it's important to understand that being well is a 24/7/365 job.

By finding ways to stick to fitness, by partaking in physical activities you love and eating foods that are not only healthy but that you enjoy, you will find yourself on a path to a much healthier life.

So in saying that, the following things will help you incorporate health into your daily lifestyle so you are living it everyday of your life rather than a fly by night fad.

Practice Moderation-

Denying yourself from eating sweets ever again in your whole life just isn't fun, let's face it. Allow yourself treats in moderation. If you want a cupcake, have one, just have it after a hard workout. Plan smart and you'll still be able to enjoy what you love without derailing your progress or maintenance.

Expand your Palate-

Try different foods on a regular basis. You may find that the broccoli you despised as a kid is actually now one of your favorite vegetables. Keep your taste buds on their toes and incorporate new healthy foods to keep things from getting boring.

Drink Lots of Water-

Often times we think we're hungry when we're actually just thirsty. In addition to staving off hunger, drinking water helps regulate body processes and keeps skin hydrated. If you're a coffee or tea lover, be sure to drink equal amounts of water per ounces of coffee or tea. So, if you have an 8 ounce serving of coffee, also drink 8 ounces of water.

Eat Small, Frequent Meals-

Eating regularly helps control and maintain blood sugar, so you won't have any sudden drops or spikes, which often signal us to eat. Cortisol, the stress hormone, also rises after we don't eat for a few hours. Have small, healthy snacks with you wherever you go to avoid finding yourself inhaling a Big Mac.

Be a Picky Diner-

Don't be afraid to ask for modifications to menu items when dining out at restaurants. If you order vegetables, ask that they be cooked in olive oil, not butter. Ask for half of your entree to be boxed before it's even brought out. Ask for sauces and dressings to be served on the side instead of on the dish or salad. There are tons of calorie traps lurking at restaurants, but if you're smart, you can work your way around them.

If you incorporate these little lifestyle tips now, you will be well served in your future health.

Well we've reached the end of our super simple guide to kickstart your weight loss journey successfully, hope you've picked up some great tips that will ensure long term healthy weight loss. Get started today!

Chapter 5: Article Directories

Find A Relevant Topic

Have you read the newspaper only to get the feeling that the very article that you are reading is already published all over the Internet for a long time?

Those articles are probably taken from article directories from the Internet, and yet it is a viable source for information on any niche!

If you want to drive tons of traffic to your website using a free or low cost way, then article directory submissions are the to go!

Why article marketing is so lucrative is because of the following reasons:

Famous article directories have LOTS of targeted traffic. Thousands of people go to article directories to source for content (e.g. for your local newspaper).

Similar to high traffic blogs, article directories also allow you to brand yourself as an expert.

Some article directories rank high on the search engines – it allows your author bio to rank high on the SERP (search engine result page) and it even passes the PR (page rank) juice to your websites.

Write an article about product or something related to your website. (If you can’t write, don’t worry… you can pay someone as low as $5 to get a quality article written for you).

Once your article is complete, do a search on Google for the search term – “article directory”.

You will find a list of article directories.

Choose one of them and register as an author or an article writer and contribute your article to the directory. It might take a few days or even a week to get an article approved, so make sure you are patient enough to wait.

Once your article is approved, it will remain on the ‘front page’ of that particular niche for a couple of days before it is ‘pushed down’ by newer article submissions.

Rinse And Repeat

One of the advantages of article directory submissions is that you can take the same article and author bio and re-use them over and over again.

What you can do is to ‘cut-and-paste’ the article and post the article to a list of article directories (when in doubt – use Google).

Occasionally, you may find the process too tedious; you can outsource it to someone else for a low price of $27-37 dollars to submit that article for you to a few hundred directories.

If your article is well written, employing this outsourcing method will send a HUGE surge of traffic to your website so you must be prepared. This will not last forever because the articles do not remain on the top page all the time.

Make sure that you are not too ‘sales pitchy’ about your product or your website because some article directories are particular about the quality of the articles. They are after all, looking for quality content, not another sales letter.

Chapter 6: Content Membership Contribution

Another Source Of Massive Traffic

If you have your very own E-product, you can easily submit your product to a high-traffic membership site that provides quality content.

The concept is also similar to blog and article contributors except that it takes it up a notch to E-book creation.

The nature of these content membership sites requires new content to be added in from time to time.

What better way to get your own product in front of the eyes of thousands of resellers and Internet marketers who can’t wait to sell YOUR product for their own profits (assuming that your product has resell rights to it of course).

The Members Are Your Resellers

If your E-product has master resell rights or unrestricted private label rights, you can be sure that your products will be all over the Internet in no time.

Resellers are always looking for products with a complete sales letter to it. If you have drafted out a sales letter that converts well, you can be sure that a lot of resellers will ‘cut-and-paste’ your sales letter and your E-book and sell it to their mailing list.

The same goes for certain PLR products as well.

The most important thing for you to remember is this – your books must constantly lead the readers to your websites.

Your links must be placed strategically in the E-books and as your E-books are duplicated all over the Internet, you can be sure to drive plenty of new visitors to your website – even if they are not in your circle of influence!

Simple postcards may do the trick without investing much time or income. Use them to communicate approaching sales, fresh products, or merely to remind individuals of your services and the value you are able to offer.

More personal and less regular than additional forms of this marketing, the old-fashioned thank-you note may work wonders for your business.

Your offer could be a coupon, a freebie, a buy one get one free deal, or any number of things that will encourage them to check you out and take advantage of your offer.

Whatever technique you use for keeping in touch, keep in mind that your principal idea is just to remind individuals that you're still around and that you have value to offer.

Donate to a region in crisis. If a natural disaster has happened in a country, send a monetary contribution through the Red Cross.

Chapter 5: Have Some Fun

Synopsis

Do something fun and amusing to get people's attention.

Humor

Not to come off like a broken record by giving this following example, but it still rings true: if you do something amusing people will pay attention. There is a concept: that run tests on whether or not a simple item will blend, video it, and shows it to the globe. Will It Blend?

It is a viral marketing campaign comprising of a series of infomercials presenting the Blendtec line of blenders, particularly the Total Blender. In the show, Tom Dickson, the Blendtec founder, tries to blend various items in order to flaunt the power of his blender. Dickson began this marketing campaign after doing a blending effort with a box of matches.

Popular fan petitions for the show include blending either a different blender or a crowbar. It's highly unlikely that either would blend and this likely means that neither would even be tried, because of the nature and purpose of the show—promoting Blendtec products. A demonstration video sporting the anticipated crowbar was cut off by a cell phone, to which Dickson replies by stuffing the entire crew's cells into the blender and blending them instead. The show has tried to blend increasingly unlikely items, like a six foot garden rake and a sealed can of soda pop.

The phrase Will it blend has become a net meme on sites like Digg. Dickson has said that the campaign has been a good success for Blendtec. The campaign took off almost at once. They have definitely felt an affect in sales. Will it Blend has had an astonishing impact to the commercial and retail products.

Blendtec now sells Will It Blend? Products, including a spoof shirt with the slogan "Tom Dickson is my Homeboy".

Dickson has made a lot of national television appearances, including

NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, on which he blended a rake handle in bare seconds. Dickson likewise made his appearance in the History Channel serial publication Modern Marvels. In the episode World's Strongest III the show ends with a special Will it Blend to prove if he may blend the channel's longest running series in the form of a portable MP3 player.

As far as honors, Will it Blend has been put forward for the 2007

YouTube award for Best Series, winner of .Net Magazine's 2007 Viral Video campaign of the year and winner of the Bronze level Clio Award for Viral Video in 2008.

Also amusing: will it float, and will it bounce.

Be politically correct. This one is non-negotiable, while it might go against the grain of a committed "humorist." Somebody writing stand-up comedy will tend to be "nervy." You don't want that in promotion. Standing back from any demographic slips or unintended estrangement of a group of individuals is a huge part of making a humorous ad blitz, and occasionally takes work as marketers comb through their concepts for any possibly dangerous material.

Avoid gloomy or harsh humor. Again, this sort of humor is the stock trade of some novelists and comedy authors, but it doesn't belong in promotion. It turns individuals off when you want them to be charged up. For a good utilization of humor, visualize the opposite of dark, a sort of peppy, shiny humor that will draw individuals into your work.

Attempt light situation comedy. Many marketers and gadget companies particularly, have been making wide use of this, with all of the funny family spots involving cells, for instance. This sort of genuinely amusing family comedy is a huge draw to buyers, who then associate the product with functional, felicitous families, even if the roles in the ad aren't exactly "happy" with their cell bills.

Chapter 8: Taking Your Home Business to Higher Levels

Summary

How do you improve upon the home business you have established and take it to greater glories? Here are some ways.

Taking Your Home Business to Higher Levels

If your home business shows some signs of settling down, what do you do next? You have probably grown with the idea that you can make as much or as little of your home business as you want to. If you see that things are beginning to pay off to some extent, you might want to pull the stops. But, what you must realize is that you can take your home biz to much higher levels if you wanted to.

You will need to consider a few things.

Outsourcing

We have spoken about this before. If you haven't used it yet, you must know that you cannot avoid it when you are trying for expansion. You can give out some part of your work so that you can manage more clients, more work and hence more money. Try finding people over the Internet who can give you work through online means. If you are into something like network marketing, try building newer streams to improve your home business.

Automation

There is a lot that you can automate. You might not know about it at the start, or you may not have the funds to do that, but as your business grows, you will certainly be able to do so. For example, you could automate your emails by using an autoresponder system. You could automate your website testing by using split testing software.

These are just examples. There is automation possible almost everywhere. You have to find out about it and use it.

Diversification

While one arm of your business is doing well, it is time to think about another branch. You will have to nurture it just as you did the earlier one, but with one branch established, you have time to do this. You could select a related domain to reduce your work because then you can use most of your material from your initial venture into this. Diversification can multiply your income in direct proportion, but not the investment, because several things will be used in common with your previous ventures.

Chapter 9: Guiding People Along - Building a Workforce

Summary

People are the biggest resource you would need when you are running a home business. But getting people in a home business is different from getting them for a usual corporation.

Guiding People Along - Building a Workforce

One of the main ingredients for a successful home business is a dedicated taskforce. When you are working from the comforts of your home, jabbering away on your computer, little do people know that you are actually working with an array of people in different parts of the world.

These people could be your clients from whom you take work, they could be your customers to whom you sell things, they could be providers whom you outsource work to, they could be people within your business network, etc. But without these people, your business is more sunk than a shipwreck.

But, there are some things that you must remember. There is a big difference in managing people online and managing them in the real world. When you are working with them online, you aren't actually seeing them. In most cases, there will not be any contracts either. So, how do you keep them working with you?
Giving Incentives

You will have to consistently keep giving your providers good incentives that can keep them working in good spirits for you. These incentives will mostly be monetary, but they could also be something like a good rating or a recommendation for more work. Sometimes, even a word of praise can keep them working well for you.

Giveaways

This is for the people who are already your customers or who are likely to become one. Giveaways are meaningful gifts that could help people know what your products are like. They might get a favorable impression from what you give them and really buy your other products. You have to ensure these gifts are good quality, though. The best things for you to give away are eBooks and newsletter subscriptions. These are informational items and don't cost you much.

Motivating People

More important than what you give them is how you can motivate them to remain a part of your workforce. You could give them tips on working more efficiently and on other practical things such as how to get transactions done, how to research, etc. These things reinforce your image in their mind and because they have learnt things from you, they will stay faithful to you. This becomes the greatest motivation for them to stay in your team and collectively sally forth.
