Memory tips

Memory tips
By : Mr. Kiran

Remembering Names Remembering names needs a different approach , but it is relatively simple when approached positively.Scan a person's face when you are introduced. Try to find an unique feature, whether ears, hairline, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, complexion, etc. Because everyone is different in the world. Create an association in between characteristic, the face, and the name in your mind. The association may be to associate the person with someone you know with the same name, or may be to associate a rhyme the name is unique, ask how it is spelled, or where it is comes from, and if appropriate, exchange cards - the more often you hear and see the name, the more the possiblililty to remember.After leaving that person's company, review the name in your mind several times. If you are particularly keen you might decide to make notes.An important thing to keep in mind is practice, patience, and progressive improvement in remembering names.

Remembering Telephone numbers: These can be remembered simply by associating numbers with the help of Imagination of a scene. For example, I want to remember ABC's number the number is 65123421 , I can imagine myself travelling to the public place or I am waliking into the picnic spot. 6 : There are 6 kids are playing, then I go ahead 5 : A man is selling 5 icecreams in his hand, then I go ahead 1 : I throw waste papers on 1 dustbin, then I go ahead 2 : A couple (2) is loving each other behind the tree, then I go ahead 3 : Some of them were playing in triangle (3) shaped pool, then I go ahead 4 : A game developed with 4 trees, then I go ahead 2 : I have seen 2 kids were fighting, then I go ahead 1 : Only 1 I am was observing them.

Expanding Memory Systems Once you have mastered simple memory systems such as the number/shape system, you can use mnemonic enhancers to expand the range of the systems. As an example, you might use the convention that encasing a mnemonic image in ice adds ten to a simple number/shape image: i.e. if you have previously linked the number 2 to the word 'wine' by using an image of a drunken swan guzzling a bottle of wine, then you can change it to link wine to 12 by imagining the swan frozen in ice. As another example, you could link 'compact disk' to the number 38 by imagining an egg timer (8) with its middle going through the centre of a CD, engulfed in flames (30-39). Perhaps you could strengthen the image by imagining the play of the light of the flames off the grooves of the CD. This list of images can be remembered in correct order by using a simple peg system. Expanding this approach again Once you understand this technique, you can expand it again and again. For example you could take it to the next level by associating the images produced with a strong and vivid colour. The expansion here might be red - 1, orange - 2, yellow - 3, green - 4, blue - 5, indigo - 6, violet - 7, white - 8, grey - 9, and black - 0. If you prefer to use colours in a different way, then do so! Keep on expanding the method You might to decide to expand this system to additional level by associating sounds to the images (e.g. a soprano singing, wind chimes, etc.); by associating smells; linking friends to images; etc.

Hints On Memory Techniques One-Way or Two-Way links : Bear in mind that in some cases you may want the link to work both ways - for example if you are using a peg system (e.g. number/rhyme) to link 2 to Henry VIII, you may not want to always link Henry VIII with the number 2 (i.e. the opposite way across the link). If, however, you are linking the word the French word 'chien' with the English word 'dog', you will want to ensure that the link runs in the opposite direction - i.e. that the English word 'dog' links with the French word 'chien'. Remember to use location to separate similar mnemonics : By setting an application of a memory system in one location and clearly using that location as a background, you can easily separate it from a different application of the same memory system set in a different place. Why mnemonics might fail : Typically you may forget things that you have coded with mnemonics if the images are not vivid enough, or if the images you are using do not have enough meaning or strength for you to feel comfortable with. Try changing the images used to more potent ones, and read the section on Using Mnemonics more Effectively. Retrieving lost information You may find that you need to remember information that has either been lost because part of a mnemonic was not properly coded, or that simply was not placed into a mnemonic. To try to recall the information, try the following approaches: In your mind run through the period when you coded the information, carried out the action, or viewed the thing to be remembered. Reconstructing events like this might trigger associations that help you to retrieve the information. If the lost information was part of a list, review the other items in the list. These may be linked in some way to the forgotten item, or even if unlinked their positions in the list may offer a different cue to retrieve the information. If you have any information such as general shape or purpose, try to reconstruct the information from this. If all the above have failed, take your mind off the subject and concentrate on something else completely. Often the answer will just 'pop into your mind', as your subconscious has worked away on retrieving the information, or something you have been working on sparks an association.

What About Cashing Out Your Home Equity?

What About Cashing Out Your Home Equity?
By : Zed Miller

How much equity do you have in your house? Equity is simply the market value of your house minus mortgage balance. The value of house also appreciates over time as property rates keep on increasing. But have you ever thought to liquidate that equity for personal gains? In some instances liquidating your equity can be highly beneficial.

You can cash out your equity when you need to repay your high interest debts. Home equity loans are offered for low rate of interest. Specially, if circumstances have led to accumulation of your credit card bills, it is wise to cash out your equity to repay your loans. But paying credit card bill is just one advantage of cashing out home equity.

If you want to take maximum benefit of home equity then try to build new asset utilizing your home equity. This can be done in multitude of ways. For example you can do some home improvements as it will add value to your house. Adding an additional room or renovating your bathroom may increase the market value of your house significantly.

You can utilize the cash taken against the equity to send your children to college. There can be no better creation of assets than educating your children. A better education will not only help them to become good human being but also to become a successful professional.

Besides benefits, some of the plus points attached with home equity loans are that most of the home equity loans are offered without closing cost. This makes home equity especially beneficial for those who want loans but do not want to spend any amount to get it.

Most of the home equity loans require interest only payments each month, hence the repayment installment would be lower than another loans you take. However, the monthly installments you need to pay depend on how much amount you are taking against your home equity.

Repayment of home equity loan depends on you and can be deferred as along as you own your home. These extended repayment schedules make the month to month repayment easily affordable.

Dreaming Of Big And Lazy Income.

Dreaming Of Big And Lazy Income.
By : Garry Ashley

In online marketing business like affiliate marketing, no traffic means no sales. That's the reason why most affiliates or webmasters easily shell out even big bucks just to get top rankings on the search engines. Once you are promoting a product or service in you web page, you need to have more visitors that can be potential consumers to your products and services. This is one of the fundamental rules to succeed in online marketing business. Here, you just need to start and get it right and you can do some things wrong but still manage to succeed. Don't ever try to get it wrong because no matter how hard you work, you can never find yourself on the way to success.

I guess everyone will agree if I said that obtaining enough highly targeted traffic is the key to success in affiliate marketing business. This method is proven to be effective if you're promoting or reselling product or service online. One of the best and most secured marketing strategies that affiliate marketers can employ is the strategy of paying for performance. This means that your investments are used only on results such as additional sales and incomes.

Let's take a practical example. Paying for performance could mean giving a commission to a sales person only when new sale is made. This strategy assures you real profit because you can already compute the amount money you have to spend for every new sale made. Also, you can avoid spending any marketing bucks because every cent you use up has either come from sale or will generate a sale in the future.

And one of the proven and most efficient ways of acquiring sales in affiliate marketing business is by drawing laser-targeted traffic towards your web site and converting them to sales by means of "Pay-Per-Click" Search Engines (PPCSEs).

Overture claims to be the Internet's best pay-per-click search engine. It is the world's leading resource of Pay-For-Performance search on the web. And what's more enticing about Overture? When you advertise in Overture Premium Listings, your site will absolutely appear in the leading U.S. search engines like Yahoo, InfoSpace, MSN, Netscape, AltaVista, Lycos and more. Plus, you can get the benefit of reaching more than 80% of active Internet users.

PPCSEs like Overture can bring impressive sales because they permit you to pay for performance by means of attracting precisely targeted traffic to your niche. And this means people or site visitors who are actively searching for what precisely you are offering or selling. Overture's secret is to drive laser-targeted traffic to your website by proposing or bidding on keywords that are related to the product or services that you are offering. And this strategy works this way: the more exact the keyword is, the better results you'll receive and the less you'll have to spend for each new sale.

Overture drives targeted traffic by keeping you away from the general keywords that are very common and usually come expensive and by casting a wide net of laser-focused keywords that are more targeted, not so expensive, and with high conversion rate. I'll tell you, attracting laser-targeted traffic through Overture is nothing but a "Win-Win" Situation.

Overture's strategy also allows your visitors to respond. And what's important once you get your visitors to respond? Well, you are given a chance to develop lifetime customers that will patronize your product and will buy from you over an over again. Bear in mind that one-time sales can't be a key in creating a highly-profitable business especially online. You can only achieve this through PPCSEs like Overture, which gets your site visitors to respond. And once it happens, you can constantly market and sell your products to them.

Another tactic that Overture uses in order to gain laser-targeted traffic is to have a "Back-Up Response" for those who "almost bought" your product on the first visit. To successfully realize this, you need to market and advertise to them over and over again until you make them a new customer. Offer them an incentive so that they'll allow you to advertise to them over a certain time span by means of e-mail or post mail. Here are some of the back-up responses which you can use: send a free e-mail newsletter, give a free catalog and offer a promo or sweepstakes which gives them the chance to win free merchandise.

Other things that will surely attract lifetime customers to your site are offering valued customer discounts, giving seasonal and special offers especially to your repeat customers and any other incentives to purchase. Don't get me wrong with this; the abovementioned strategies can surely develop a trusted relationship between you and your customers. Aside from patronizing your products over their lifetime, they may even refer others to you or to your site.

To sum up, one of the most effective and secured marketing strategies that any businessman can utilize particularly those who are involved in online marketing is the approach of only paying for performance. And one of the most helpful online strategies to create more sales is by pulling laser targeted traffic towards your website and converting them to sales by means of Pay-Per-Click Search Engines like Overture.

Solving the "Resu-mess" - Applicant Processing Systems

Solving the "Resu-mess" - Applicant Processing Systems
By : Ira Wolfe

For individuals in search of a new job career, it is as easy as Copy, Paste, and Submit. Job opportunties abound for skilled workers. Internet recruiting has progressing from simple resume emailing to candidates submitting video resumes and podcasts. But as with many technologies, convenience often drags along complexity.

Just like the neighbor attending an open house just to get a peek how the people on the other side of the street live, an increasing number of job candidates are just "shopping". Add those to the serious candidates looking for better opportunities and hiring managers are receiving a massive influx of resumes - an HR administrative nightmare I call the "resu-mess".

No longer do managers just receive a dozen or so of resumes mailed or faxed from a single classified ad in the Sunday classifieds. They are greeted daily with hundreds of emails clogging inboxes from Internet job postings. After years of cutting back on the size of human resource departments or just adding more and more responsibilities on the shoulder of the HR generalists and recruiters, it is fair to say that reviewing and processing these resumes is like having eight lanes of traffic exiting onto a two-lane side-street. This translates into a bottleneck at the hiring tollgate.

The bottleneck leads to two devastating business mistakes - cutting back on advertising and poor response time

In order to manage the resu-mess, successful recruitment marketing strategies are being derailed by the voluminous response of applicants. Managers reduce the number of job boards and other media outlets on which they advertise to better manage the number applications. This strategy is tantamount to HR suicide. Considering today's challenge of finding the right candidate in a shrinking talent pool, throwing out the widest net possible, not cutting back, is in the best interest of employers.

But more resumes isn't necessarily better without automating the process. Few managers, human resource professionals and assistants have the time to screen the applications, call the candidates, do the the voice mail dance, complete phone interviews, schedule face-to-face interviews, check references, complete background checks and so on.

This leads to the second mistake. While managers and HR staff are attempting to weed out the unqualified or disinterested applicants, high-demand qualified candidates are being overlooked and turned off by slow response times, cumbersome hiring hurdles, and inexperienced interviewers.

If first impressions skew a top candidate's opinion of your company, then the reputation of many organizations is abysmal. Administrative overload is creating backlogs and feeding the chief complaint of job seekers - poor communication and follow-up. Based on the 2007 Staffing.org survey of nearly 500,000 job seekers, ratings for communication and follow-up after applying for a job was a pitiful "1" (poor) out of a 5-point scale.

Managers are at a crossroads. Business wasn't always as complex as it is today. But many organizations still insist on using the techniques of yester-year to solve today's problem. Candidates hire professional resume writers. They search the Internet for information about your company. They download dozens and dozens of answers to the most comment interview questions, just like fraternities and sororities "prepped" their brothers and sisters for term papers and final exams. Yet managers are still doing interviews on the fly, relying on gut instinct and a suspicious resume to make the final hiring decisions. What can an organization do to attract more candidates and simplify the complexity of recruiting and hiring?

Simplify the application process.

Streamlining recruitment, hiring quickly, and selecting the right people are no longer options but key growth strategies.

An effective applicant solution has many pieces, including applicant tracking, screening, testing, interviewing, and background checks. All of these components must mesh with business processes and create an end-to-end solution.

To first attract and then actually hire the best talent, making the entire application process as convenient as possible is critical. Prospective employees should be able to fill out an application at a Web site, and any tests or profiling tools should be available through the Web or by phone.

Clients of Success Performance Solutions have been using Total-APS, an online applicant processing system, comparable to those used by the Fortune 1000s but now affordable and easy-to-use for even the small business owner.

Total APS allows managers to create job specific filter questions (such as "are you available to work weekends including Saturdays and Sundays and have you completed a 2-year or four year degree) as well as behavioral and competency based questions, allowing candidates to self-qualify or disqualify themselves, avoiding many needless phone calls to unqualified, unmotivated and uninterested candidates.

Total APS also automates follow-up responses to candidates who are disqualified and reminders to qualified candidates who need to complete personality assessments or provide additional information.

A well-designed applicant processing system is like the EZ-Pass of human resources. It can help organizations filter and process résumés quickly and provide a central repository for potential candidates. When the system aligns with business processes, it's possible to identify talent more quickly and reduce hiring time. The net result is that you can snatch talented individuals before your competitors do.

How to Set Yourself Apart From Other Affiliates

How to Set Yourself Apart From Other Affiliates
By : Thomas Roehlig

Considered today as one of the best and easiest way to earn some money, affiliate marketing is now attracting many people to represent themselves in this type of business. But as competition is getting a bit bigger, you may need some ways to distinguish yourself from the rest of the affiliate marketers. For the major reason that many of your competitors including you are promoting the exact same program, in the exact same zone or on the exact same websites perhaps. Now here are some tips that you may consider in order for you to stay in this business and have the chance to outwit and outplay other competitors of yours. The first thing is for you to have your own website. It is very essential for you to have your own website in considering affiliate marketing as your professional career. Secondly, potential customers primarily go to websites in order for them to search and sometimes purchase items they were looking for. For the same reason that it is much easier to remember than a certain URL that you may be using and you can just point to your visitors the affiliate page in your website.

Another thing to remember is to have your own ad. A lot of times affiliates marketers have published the same ad two or three times done by advertisers. In this case, you may email the owner of your affiliate program asking that you make your own ads. This way, people may not become immune to ads, because sometimes seeing the same ads over and over again, may just make your potential customers to just skip it all together. Besides, your primarily purpose is to attract or encourage people to click and read your ads and be curios enough to click through your website.

Step three, have some products of your own which are only available through your website. Once you have your website going, it is important to have some products or services that your customers can't find with other affiliate's site. You want your customers to keep coming to your site and the best way to do that is to have something on your site that they can't find on others. Being an affiliate marketer we must then choose a certain market segment where you can have a potential leadership or at least a strong challenger role.

The fourth step is to build a strong relationship with people who already buy your product. Now, in order for you as the marketer to fully answer the query of your potential customers, it is best to try and buy the product by yourself. With this particular notion, you can better sell the product that you are trying to market. You can share to your potential customers what a great experience you had with the product, and this can make them interested enough to buy the product. You may also be able to provide a support if necessary or you may provide a confident tutorial or steps on how to use the product that you are trying to market based on your personal experience. Entailing this idea is to be totally honest about the product that you are trying to market. If you find out that the program you were promoting is a scam, stop promoting it and inform your readers about it. This will help you build credibility with your lists.

We all make mistakes and admitting your mistake will boost your reader's confidence in you. Lastly, don't try to market everything you see. With services such as click bank, it is easy to become overwhelmed and try to market everything in the click bank marketplace. That is not a good idea. It's better to focus on one market and market products that they would want. This is called niche marketing.

Try also to promote a certain product, which conforms to the specifications measured through indications of customer-satisfaction, rather than indicators of self-gratification. It is the customer who decides what to buy and not the company or the affiliate marketer. The company simply produces products catering to the needs and wants of their chosen market segment.

Today, different types of business are emerging from all over the world in a multinational level to reign supreme on their specific market segment that they are trying to dominate, and affiliate marketing is one of them. Affiliate marketing is definitely here to stay and it can become a great way to earn extra or even part time income. However, it won't happen overnight. Like everything else in life, you're going to have to put a lot of hard work into it. Good luck to you in your new venture.

You can receive training on the development of your own product, advertising and marketing online. Some owner's of the affiliate programs you join with will occasionally offer personal training. However, this is not often the case. Visit: Self Equity Solutions for all you training needs at http://www.selfequity.com. Self Equity Solutions will also set you up with your own website and your own product too. You keep 100% of the profit from your product sales. Sign up at http://www.selfequity.com/reason.

Unfortunately, everything can't be done for you, you'll have to do somethings yourself. The good thing is your heading in the right direction without having to make the same mistakes 95% of all the others make by getting directed the wrong way.
