Even if you don’t plan a huge call center in India, most software needs updating. Most software needs to offer some technical support. Think about whether your product will need either or both and then think about the best way to offer them in a way that keeps your product profitable.

We know a database company that built its database platform in Corel Paradox in about 1990.

Paradox is a very old-school system that you may not even have heard of, but it does what it does well. The key to this product is the data, which is updated regularly on a subscription model, not the interface, which has been updated twice in 15 years and may never be updated again. As long as it works, the clients in this case don’t care.

In this case, Corel licensing (for the runtime version every buyer of this database needs) is dirt cheap. Paradox is rock solid and pretty much always works, even if its feature set is very old and clunky under the skin.

So this company is in fact selling information, not a “software product” though it is sold and licensed as both.

With more than 200 customers their support staff is a single person who handles phone and email inquiries but is also updating the data continually. The software support costs, by leveraging a solid, unfashionable, database system that only works on DOS/Windows machines are kept exceedingly low.

Apply everything you read above to Internet Marketing now. As you may know, Internet Marketers are a new breed of people all over the World. They all have one thing in common: 100% of them do not have a degree in Internet Marketing.

There is no study that reveals the educational background of Internet Marketers, so what we know today has been “discovered” from what we read online and through their works.

The team of “Internet Marketing Gurus” has attracted people from all professions: from truck drivers and pizza boys to doctors and lawyers.

The definition of an Internet Marketer could easily be: “Someone who uses the Internet to make money.” This is what Internet Marketing is. I do not know who you are and what you have done in your life. But this does not matter at all.

Because you and Guru X share one common element: you both deal with Internet Marketing. If you become a better Guru than Guru X, then what you have done in your off line life will not matter at all. People will not ask you about your “previous life.” People online care about 1 thing only…. (can you guess??)

“What can you offer me that nobody else can?”

As in Jack’s case, you have an advantage if you have an educational background. This is because what really matters from the years you spent in the University is not actually what you have learned, but what you can DO with what you have learned and how you can transform this knowledge into money. Your best advantage, if you have an educational background, is that you know how to COMPLETE works.

Read it again. Essays and dissertations in universities teach you not only the subject, but furthermore, they teach you how to WORK, how to THINK and how to START and COMPLETE a project.

This is your only advantage if you have that educational background. Even this advantage means nothing if you cannot answer THE question. “What can you offer me that nobody else can?”

Chances are that Jack may have more success as an Internet Marketer because of his zest to succeed. And in all cases both Jacks (college-educated Jack and never-went-to-college Jack) share the same percentages of success on the Net.

Both Jacks can be Internet Marketers. Even if Jack “A” HAS a degree in “Internet Marketing” then again Jack “B” can beat Jack “A” if he can give a better answer to THE question asked by the customer online:

“What can you offer me that nobody else can?” Yes…

It seems that everybody can become an Internet Marketer today. S/he only has to answer THE question to the customer waiting with his/her wallet open and his/her credit card in his/her hand.

Find the answer and you have your chance to be “hired.” Speaking of Internet Marketing, you are “hired” by consumers all over the World. Quite a “high level job” position…

There are many different notes that a guitar can tune to. Blues players and fingerstylists are famous for using altered tunings. However there is a standard guitar tuning and this is where all students of the instrument should start. This tuning is, low to high, E, A, D, G, B and E. The high E is, on a piano, the E directly above middle C The tuning works downward from there.

Reference Tuning is tuning the guitar’s strings to another source such as a pitch pipe, piano, or another guitar. The reference pitch is first played and then the corresponding pitch (generally an open string) is played on the guitar. The tuning pegs are then turned either to the left or the right, moving the pitch of the string up or down until the pitch of he reference instrument and the pitch of the guitar are exactly the same. This is probably the most difficult method and it’s best to have someone who knows how show you a couple of times until you get the hang of it.

Relative Tuning is the process of tuning the guitar to itself. Notes and chords will sound correct as long as the guitar is playing solo, but the pitch of the entire guitar may be too high or too low when compared to another instrument. Play the low E string at the fifth fret, then play the A string open. These two pitches should be exactly the same. Move the tuning key for the A string either flat or sharp as necessary until the two strings both ring at the same pitch. Repeat this process for the width of the guitar with the exception of the second, or B, string. To tune this string you must play on the third, or G, string at the fourth fret. Return to the fifth fret to tune the high E string.

Electronic Tuning is generally the easiest form of tuning for the novice guitarist to master. This method uses an electronic tuner to locate the correct pitches. Electronic tuners are available at any music store for $20-$35. You generally get what you pay for with these things and, unfortunately, the more expensive tuners tend to be much more accurate and thus, easier to use. Purchase the best model of tuner that you can reasonably afford - it will pay off in the long run.

While each model of tuner varies slightly in its operation, the general principles apply for all models. Refer to your tuner’s operation manual for instructions pertaining specifically to your model. Almost all electronic tuners have two distinct modes: automatic and manual.

Auto mode is for more advanced users and assumes that your strings are reasonably close to being in tune. For the sake of this discussion we will cover only the manual mode.

Generally, in this mode, you select the string you wish to tune by hitting up and down buttons on your tuner. Make sure that the guitar is very close to the tuner or, in the case of an electronic tuner, is physically connected to the guitar with a %” instrument cable.

Play the string repeatedly and see if the tuner is indicating flat or sharp for the note you selected. While still playing the note, adjust the tuning peg of the string with your free hand until the tuner indicates that the string is in tune. Generally this is indicated by a green light coming on.

You can let Google decide for you the type of ads that will be displayed on your webpage, but as the website publisher, you may be in a better position to decide what ads suit the content of your website and how you would like them displayed. To the extent possible, whether chosen by Google or you, make the ads seem like part of the site itself.

Most internet marketing experts believe that the ads on your website have a high probability of getting clicked if they blend in with the rest of the content of your web page. Factors such as color scheme, font size and type, and the appearance of your ad should match your web page. Borders are optional and we think often you should opt out – why put a box around the ad that says “Hi! I’m an ad!”?

Also, regardless of other design choices, text links should be blue. Why are text links blue? For the same reason Henry Ford said of the Model-T “They can have any color they want so long as it’s black.” They just are.

Though we think text ads are generally better than graphic ads, also known as image ads, Google does offer them with the program.

Actually, you don’t need to struggle much with whether graphic ads or text will be better on your pages, as Google’s technology will suggest whether an image ad or a text ad will be more suitable and which will earn you maximum revenues (since you earn part of they earn, they have motives to get this mix right).

However, it remains totally up to you whether you wish to run image ads or text-based ads. You can select only image ads, or text ads or a combination of both these formats on your entire AdSense account or on one page at a time based on your discretion.
