Help Your Baby to Sleep

You may have the most wonderful baby at home, but for parents that both have jobs and tight schedules, a crying baby can cause lots of stress and sleepless nights. Obviously, if your baby cries through the night, you want to make sure that your baby is healthy, but if you find that your baby just has a different schedule than here are some tips on helping your baby to sleep.

Make sure your baby sleeps in a comfortable quiet room. If for some reason the room is not quiet or can be uncomfortable at night, your baby may awake and cry. You may have a window draft that lets in cold air. The room may face the street where there is street noise. Make sure your baby is as comfortable as possible.

Set up a nap routine. If your babies schedule is causing him/her to stay up late into the night, try determining a new nap and sleep schedule. Although this usually works it may take time for your baby to be conditioned to a new sleep routine.

Have a bedtime ritual, again conditioning works very well for some babies. Most babies respond to the security of a bedtime ritual. It can be a rocking motion, a gentle massage or anything that can become a nightly ritual which will signal bedtime to an infant.

So remember, be flexible and expect that you are going to be woken up during the night sometimes. But if you follow some easy tips, you may once in a while get a good nights rest.

Create Web Sites Quick and Easy

How would you like to create a web site with hundreds of pages in just a few minutes? There is now automated web site software that can create plenty of web pages fast and easy.

Automated web page software is used primarily by SEO’s (Search Engine Optimizers) to create web sites for profit. Many SEO’s realize that the more pages you have per web site, the more chances people will visit your site and purchase a product or look at your advertising.

This software works by creating an overall them, lets say flowers. On each page of your flower website you will come up with a different topic that is related to flowers. Your first page is rose, your second page is carnation, etc. So for instance, if I created a website on flowers, I would come up with 100 keywords. One keyword for each page. I would then plug these 100 keywords into the automated web site software and create 100 pages each with its own keyword.

The key to making a profitable web site is to come up with keywords that people will search for within your topic. Now if you think it is difficult to come up with 100 keywords, try to come up with 1,000 keywords. Not to worry, there are services that will find you all the keywords that people search for within a given topic. They are called keyword generators or keyword lists. They are easy to find on the internet with a simple search. Most usually are inexpensive.

So you now have 100 web pages created via software, each page on this web site has a specific keyword created with a keyword generator. You are now only missing one thing- web page content. You have two choices, you can create web page content for each individual page, or you can create content for one page and post it on every page of your web site.

Here’s a hint, some automated web site software programs allows you to create hundreds of pages all with the same content. The software then adds its own content on your web page. The software looks at the keywords on each page and finds information from search engine directories. Once the information on each keyword is found, the software then creates a web page for you with the new content.. So the software is actually creating content for each web page you have, whether it is only 10 pages or 100 pages.

Blog and Ping

For many SEO’s (Search Engine Optimizers) people who create web sites for profit, a great way to introduce your web site to the search engines is through blog and ping software.

Most SEO’s have heard that blogs are the next big thing after web sites. Most search engines such as Google keep track of blogs that have been created and that are being updated regularly. When a blog is updated, it usually only takes less than a day for the search engines to come around and make note of the new information. Many people use this strategy to get their web site indexed into the search engines. When they place a new blog on a blog site, they include their web site link. When the search engine sees their updated blog with the web site link, they usually follow the web link to your site and go about indexing your entire web site.

Ping is a strategy that has been used for many, many years. When a site pings a search engine, it sends a message to the search engine that there has been a change in the web page and that the search engine should come and take a look. There are many products on the market that actually combine these two strategies (blog and ping) in the hopes that it gets the attention of the search engines to come and index web pages. Blog and ping software is available in many different varieties. Check out a few advertisements to see which one works best for your needs.

Blog and ping technology has been proven to work, so if you want the search engines to acknowledge your site and add your web pages into the index fast, take a look at blog and ping.

How to Talk to Women

So you are on your first date and want to talk to this beautiful girl but nothing is coming out. What should a guy do? Here are some tips on breaking the ice and talking to women.

We have all been there before, uncomfortable silences. Many guys are not that talkative or shy at times, especially on the first date. We don’t want to come across sounding conceited and probably realize that women don’t want to hear about sports or how we tuned up the engine on our cars. The best advice one can give, is just be yourself. Don’t worry about talking about a specific subject to seem super smart or avoiding the things you love the most because you think she wouldn’t be interested. Many people don’t realize is that if two people are going to enjoy themselves together, than they can’t act, they have to be natural.

Another important thing to consider is that Women are not men, so don’t talk to them like men. I am not telling you to talk about flowers, but be a little gentler, a little softer. Don’t yell across the table, like you do to your buddies at the bar either. Be respectful and thoughtful during the conversation. Ask her questions; let her know that you are interested in her. Girls want to see that you care. That you have a pulse.

Many guys try to overact. They want to look macho. This is not necessary. A girl probably already knows that you’re a stand up person, that’s probably why she decided to go out with you or talk to you in the first place.

So if you want to impress a girl, just be yourself, be thoughtful and respectful to her and show her that you are interested in her. Believe me, everything else will follow.

Learn Spanish as a Second Language

Many of us were forced to take a language during school. We were told to expand our horizons, learn a different culture, and not only rely on English. Well obviously a lot of people did learn a different language and forgot that language by the time they ended their education. Today, you may find yourself needing some skills that you didn’t think were necessary. You may work with or do business with a large Spanish population. Even if you don’t come into contact that often with Spanish speaking people, wouldn’t it be nice to know a second language. One of the best languages for Americans to learn is Spanish.

Here are some great reasons to learn Spanish. Most linguists agree that Spanish is usually the easiest language for the American ear to hear and learn. The sounds made by Spanish speakers are common everyday sounds that you can understand. Now picture the sound of Cantonese or Russian. You can sense a big difference. Not only are English speakers more likely to understand the language easier than most, you will also be able to speak it easier than other languages.

Another great reason is that Spanish is part of the Romance languages that have its roots in Latin. What does this mean? It means that many words are similar in sound and meaning. The more closely related a language is to ours, the easier it is to learn.

But the most important thing about learning Spanish is that you can use it. For people in many cities, there are large Spanish speaking populations that prefer to speak Spanish. If you decide to travel, many parts of the world such as Spain, Mexico and South America speak the language. You can even watch Spanish TV which is beamed into practically every house with cable or a satellite dish.

So if you would like to learn a second language, choose Spanish because you can actually use it in your day to day life.

Start a Small Import Business

We live in a small world. Let’s face it, over the past 50 years our world has gotten smaller and smaller. With the rise of the internet and telecommunications, it is not only much easier to contact people all over the world, but to do business with them as well.
For most of us in American, the majority of products that we now buy are from overseas. They are imports and the businesses that are bringing these products into this country are becoming extremely successful and profitable. How can you share in the profits- its easy start an Import Business.

Don’t worry if you don’t have the capital for a huge warehouse. I am talking about a small home based business where you can sell you imported products over the web on either your independent web site or a popular auction site such as EBay. There are many sites that try to connect you with manufacturers all over the world. Many people jump to connect with businesses in China and Taiwan, because there products are extremely cheap, sometimes pennies on the dollar.

For instance, A great product to sell are cell phone accessories. Chargers and holsters which cost about $10 to $15 dollars in the store are literally less than 25 cents or less from overseas. The problem is where do you find these companies

There are many directories that have sprouted in the last few years. One of the biggest directories that bring manufacturers and sellers together is Alibaba.com. This is a great site to get started on because it is filled with products and companies from all over the world that would like to connect with you. They have a large listing of many different products which can easily be sold online for a great price and profit. Other sites are not that well known and will need you to do some research. Many companies overseas have websites that are not only in their own language but also made for English speakers who would like to purchase their products.

So, if you’re interested in extremely cheap products that can be sold for a good profit, take a look at buying the products from overseas and importing them into the country.

Drop Shipping Lists

Many people already know that if you sell products online on your independent website or through a major auction site, that drop shipping is a smart economical way to make money without the need to stock any inventory or ship any product. For a lot of small businesses the problem with drop shippers are finding them.

Here are a few ways to find drop shippers, the first types of drop shippers are usually businesses that seek small business out. Many of these drop shippers make a business of recruiting auction site owners and small independent web sites. You may find that they may not offer you the best deals or profits and they may require you to sign up for a subscription.

You can also find drop shippers through lists that people have compiled and sell. Although there are cases of bad lists, there are reputable sites that sell great drop shipping lists which can take a lot of leg work out of the equation. There can be very good contact information that these lists provide. Contacts and networking can grow a business exponentially. All it takes is one great contact per list to pay for itself over and over again.

The third way to find drop shippers and most consuming is to do the research yourself. Buy a few trade magazines in a field that you are interested in and contact companies directly. Many companies may offer to drop ship products for you. And if you get lucky, it may be a unique, high profitable product that creates a lot of sales for your business.

So if you’re in the market for drop shippers take a look at some of your options and grow your business.

Another Way to Sell Affiliate Products

If you have a website and sell affiliate products, here is another great way to sell your affiliate product and make a great profit. An affiliate is a web site owner who agrees to place another persons product on their web site for sale. If the product is sold, the web site owner gets part of the profit.

Most people sell the affiliates products on their own web site, but a growing number of people are trying to grab traffic by placing advertisements in Google Adwords. For instance if you as an affiliate normally place a sellers car polish on your web site, now you can place an advertisement for the car polish on Google Adwords, people who search for the keywords car polish will see your advertisement, hopefully click your ad and buy your product. You don’t need to have the product in inventory, or worry about shipping, you just collect part of the profit.

This strategy may not be good for every type of product, but it can be useful on products where the profit is high enough. If you can make $10 to $15 per sale and one advertisement only costs you 10 cents, then it seems like a good proposition that one person in 100 would not only be interested in the product you are selling, but purchase it as well.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways for web site owners to make money with affiliate services.

Google Adsense is Getting Competition

Most SEO’s (Search Engine Optimizers) who build web sites for the sole purpose of profit have known how effective Google Adsense can be placed on their web sites. Google Adsense is an advertising network that you can sign up and place Google’s advertising on your web site. When a viewer clicks on an ad that is placed on your site, you are paid a portion of the advertising proceeds and the viewer is sent to the advertiser’s web site hopefully to buy their product.

Google Adsense has been extremely successful for all three parties; the advertiser, Google, and the Web site owner. However, since Google has become so successful, the other big web portals have been looking to also join the game.

In the next few months Yahoo, who already has a beta version of a pay per click model up and running will be expanding its service. At the moment, web site developers have an extremely long wait to be included into the Yahoo pay per click program. But that may change. Microsoft and AOL have also been seriously thinking about or building their pay per click programs as well. This is great news for a lot of web site owners that make their living off pay per click advertising. The more partners, the more security they have. They no longer have to worry about one supplier in town.

For advertisers this may also be an interesting development. Right now there is lots of competition for adverting. Will more places to advertise lower the cost, or will it create a bidding frenzy? Only time will tell. Now that Google Adsense is not the only game in town, things may change.

Creating That Great Cover Letter

It used to be that a resume was enough. If you were seeking a particular job, you usually put your one sheet resume in the envelope and sent it out. Times have changed. Obviously, resumes are still priceless, but they can look the same after a while. One of the most important questions you should ask yourself is; how can I stand out from the crowd? The answer is a great cover letter.

Cover letters don’t need to be that long; usually a page or two should suffice. What should be mentioned on the cover letter is the job you are applying for and your qualifications. But you should put much more in your cover letter. You should put your sense of personality and your accomplishments of the past jobs and experiences. What employers are also looking for is what can this person add to our business. These ideas should be high on your cover letter goals.

There are plenty of sample cover letters that you can look at on the web. A few of the major sites also have cover letter samples and tutorials on building the perfect cover letter for any job level or experience level.

There are also books and guides that take you step by step, building a great cover letter. These books are usually packed with samples and other great job searching information. So if your searching for that perfect opportunity, remember a great cover letter should always accompany a great resume.
