List Building - Building An Opt In List, Simply

There are no real secrets to making real money online. Yep, you heard me right. There are just strategies that you may not yet know of or have simply not used because you thought they would not work. It is really not complicated.

Simply put, the lifeblood of any online business is traffic. You need to get targeted visitors to your website, capture their details and then work at turning curious visitor into subscriber and subscriber into customer. This is where the real money is. And yes, I have heard that the money is in the list! What I am sharing with you here is how to build that much talked about list, simply.

You have 2 main options to choose from.

1) Buy a list. A list of names and addresses is really no use to you if you do not even know how they came to be. Any mailing to this list will be unresponsive. They simply don't know you. They may delete your messages without opening them or even report you for spamming. This can have serious consequences for your online existence. You could be shut down!

2) Build your own list (best option). You simply create your own traffic. You'll then be sending messages to people who know you. They will be more responsive to you. No fear of being accused of spamming either.

Of the two options you should choose to build your own list. How?

Here is how to build a list simply:

1. Research your niche market (I am assuming you already have a niche) and write a helpful report. Include in it links to affiliate products linked to your niche. You will be giving this report away for free, so it must be something people in your niche would want to have. It will be your exchange for your visitors contact details.

2. Subscribe to an autoresponder service. This particular tool is a must have. I use Aweber because they have a very high deliverability rate. They know how to beat the spam filters and place your email in your visitors inbox. Just where you want it. They also provide you with a html code that forms the name and address box for your squeeze page.

3. Set up a squeeze page and plug it into your autoresponder. Your squeeze page and autoresponder work in partnership to capture the name and email address of your visitor and manage subsequent follow ups. Send all traffic to your squeeze page.

4. Write carefully crafted emails to load your autoresponder with. Don't agonise over what to write. Be prepared to learn from those who have done it before you. Yep, learn from all those newsletters and other subscriptions you are presently signed up to. Remember you are trying to build a relationship with your visitor so use plain and simple language. Write like you would to a friend. These messages will be your relationship vehicle. Drive it well.

Having gone through the above steps you must stay in contact with your visitors who once on your list becomes a subscriber. Treat them well. Ask them what they want and provide it. Provide useful information they can act on to achieve their online goals.

Whatever you do, aim to build a solid relationship with your opt in email list.

Personal Branding 101 - Present Your Personal Brand Through Your Personal Profile

Whether you are in an organisation and developing your career or you are the leader of your own professional services practice, one thing you can be sure about....

.... at some stage in the next 12 months you are likely to be asked to present yourself on paper.

That could be for a proposal you are submitting, a job you are applying for or a profile you have to present as a speaker at a conference.

But when was the last time you reviewed your personal profile or CV? And does it accurately reflect your expertise and experience?

I was recently working with a professional association to support them building their brand on-line. They had developed a new web site which gave the members of the association the opportunity to add their details to the data base, providing them with increased visibility.

However, the quality of the personal profiles was so poor, they certainly were not likely to attract interest from potential clients or strategic joint venture partners.

I was also recently working with an executive who was looking for their next career move and we were working on developing their personal brand. However when we looked at their personal marketing materials - their CV - it certainly did not enhance their reputation.

I am frequently asked for a copy of my personal profile and what I have some to learn is that we need to have a core profile available at a moments notice so that we can adapt it to the needs of the audience requesting our profile.

You see it is much easier keeping your profile up to date and relevant than having to create it the first time.

So if your personal profile or CV is out of date, here are four personal branding action steps to ensure that your profile projects your personal brand.

1. Print out a copy of your current personal profile and identify which elements are no longer current.

2. Update your profile - whether it is a CV or professional profile make sure that it does not exceed 2 pages.

3. If you are not sure if your profile accurately reflects your personal brand and expertise, ask a colleague or friend to review it and provide feedback.

4. If you need additional assistance consider the support of a resume writer or personal branding coach to help you create

Home Tips & Hints: August 2004

P.L.1991, c.431 with final retroactive amendments effective August 5, 1992 consolidated, into one more flexible law, the various long term tax exemption laws under which municipalities may agree with private entities to undertake redevelopment projects in return for tax exemptions.

P.L.1991, c.441, effective for the first full tax year commencing after its January 18, 1992 enactment, consolidated the various five-year tax abatement and exemption laws into one, more standardized law to govern all tax abatements and exemption regardless of the type of structure.

Long Term Tax Exemption Law

Prior to 1993, which was the first full year of operation governed by the new Long Term Tax Exemption Law, under the provisions of N.J.S.A.40:55C-40, the "Urban Renewal Corporation and Association Law of 1961," commonly known as the Fox-Lance Act, a qualified municipality (a municipality with "areas in need of rehabilitation") could abate from 15 to 20 years the taxes on newly constructed industrial, commercial, cultural, or residential projects of a corporation, with profits in excess of the limited profits returned to the municipality, or from 30 to 35 years for condominium projects. Condominium projects were given 30 to 35 years in order to provide a realistic period for permanent financing. Also, prior to 1993 under the provisions of N.J.S.A.55:16-1 et seq., the "Limited-Dividend Nonprofit Housing Corporation or Association Law," a qualified municipality could abate for up to 50 years the taxes on newly constructed housing. Further, under N.J.S.A.55:14I-1 et seq., a qualified municipality could abate for up to 50 years the taxes on newly constructed senior housing. Lastly, prior to 1993, under the provisions of N.J.S.A.40:55C-77, the "Urban Renewal Nonprofit Corporation Law of 1965," basically the same types of properties and projects as the Fox-Lance Act could be abated for 20 to 25 years with all profits being returned to the municipality. In all cases under these property tax exemption laws in-lieu of tax payments were required.

Commencing in 1993 the provisions of N.J.S.A.40A:20-1 et seq. permitted a qualified municipality to abate the taxes on properties and projects in the same way the pre 1993 law did with the following notable exceptions:

A new, flexible in-lieu of tax formula was established with a phasing-in of payments in-lieu of taxes to occur under both the percent of gross rental formula and the percent of total project cost formula.

The formulas for computing payment in-lieu of taxes for both office projects and housing projects were changed. The minimum annual service charge for office buildings was reduced from 15 to 10 percent of the annual gross revenues of the project or units of the project. Municipalities retained the option of computing the payment in-lieu of taxes at no less than 2 percent of the total project cost or total project units cost. For housing projects the annual service charge was changed from a minimum of 15 percent to a maximum of 15 percent of annual gross revenue of the project or from a minimum 2 percent to a maximum 2 percent of the total project cost or total project unit cost.

The payment in-lieu of tax formulas remains basically unchanged for all other types of industrial, commercial or cultural projects.

Five-Year Exemption and Abatement Law

Prior to 1993, which was the first full year of operation under the new Five-Year Exemption and Abatement Law, there were three types of property to which a qualified municipality (a municipality with "areas in need of rehabilitation") could grant a partial exemption and abatement for a five-year period.

These property types included:

Homeowner improvements (including additions and enlargements) made to one-unit or two-unit residential dwellings that were more than 20 years old. As determined by ordinance the first $4,000, $10,000 or $15,000 of increased value due to improvement on each unit could be exempted from taxation (see N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.72 to 3.79).

Commercial and industrial improvements and construction projects (with less than a 30% increase in building volume) could have the full assessed value of the improvement exempted with payments in-lieu of taxes made at 2%of project cost or 15% of annual gross revenues or an in-lieu of tax payment phased-in. (see N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.94to 3.112).

Multiple dwelling improvements or conversion of other types of structures to multiple dwellings could have up to 30% of the full value of the improvement or conversion alteration exempted. No in-lieu of tax payment was required (see N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.121 to 3.129).

Commencing in 1993 the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40A:21-1 et seq., the "Five-Year Exemption and Abatement Law," which consolidated all provisions of the previous five-year abatement statutes, permitted a qualified municipality to grant partial exemptions and abatements on residential dwellings, non-residential structures and multiple dwellings in the same way the pre 1993 law did, with the following notable exceptions made to the new law:

A new, single definition of "areas in need of rehabilitation" was established to govern all exemptions and abatements which, if chosen, could enable an entire municipality to be designated as an area in need of rehabilitation (thus permitting new structures to facilitate infill construction).

The new five-year law also permitted, for the first time, tax abatements and exemptions for new construction of single family and multi-family dwelling units and non-residential structures rather than just improvements or enlargements to such properties.

The new law also increased the allowable maximum tax exemptions for the value added by an improvement from $4,000, $10,000, and $15,000 to $5,000, $15,000 and $25,000, respectively, as the municipal ordinance may specify.

Biography: Gerald Jerry' Dowgin "The Property Tax Doctor" and the author of the Homeowner's Assessment Review Guide (http://www.propertytaxdoctor.com) a former tax assessor worked in the field of public finance at the State and local levels in New Jersey for more than three decades until his retirement in 2001. As a Supervising Tax Analyst in the Office of Research and Statistics in the Division of Taxation in the New Jersey Department of Treasury he worked principally on local property tax issues. Then he joined the Office of Legislative Services (OLS) in 1983 and served as the Secretary to the New Jersey Property Tax Assessment Study Commission for four years. While working in the OLS, Local Government Section he researched, drafted, and estimated the cost of the Senior Property Tax Freeze Bill which was signed onto law and worked on legislation that became law that virtually stopped the tax assessment practice of "Spot Assessments" in New Jersey that had treated many property taxpayers unfairly.

Installing Kitchen Cabinet Islands - 4 Tips

A lot of people today install kitchen cabinet islands for various reasons. The most common reason is so that they would be able to organize their kitchens better.

It is most often the case that people install kitchen cabinet islands in order to separate various areas of the kitchen and so that utensils and other kitchen items can be stored properly.

However, you should know that just putting up a kitchen island cabinet is inadvisable. You have to plan the installation carefully in order to make sure that the kitchen cabinet island you put up will truly help you instead of becoming a hindrance.

Here are some tips to help you install the kitchen cabinet island:

1. Plan the space carefully

Since a kitchen cabinet island requires a lot of space, you have to make sure that building one does not cramp your kitchen area.

Planning a kitchen cabinet island requires you to make sure that building one still leaves you with enough space to move and to cook freely around in the kitchen.

2. Decide the purpose of the kitchen cabinet island

Although organization is the main purpose of building a kitchen cabinet island, you should really think about how specifically you wish to accomplish this.

Do you want a kitchen cabinet island to serve as extra workspace or do you just want additional storage areas? This will ultimately help in deciding the design of the kitchen cabinet island.

3. Maximize the function of the kitchen cabinet island

Although it is a common practice to build kitchen cabinet islands to serve merely as an extra tabletop, a lot of people are realizing the advantage to actually turning the area into a whole new station.

That is, people are starting to realize the fact that adding a sink to the kitchen cabinet island can help speed up various processes such as cooking or cleaning up.

There are also those who install stoves into their kitchen cabinet island to help them handle cooking a lot of dishes at once. This is actually only advisable if you cook often for a lot of people.

4. Plan the necessary features

Of course, if you are planning to build a new sink or even a new stove, you need to make sure that you prepare the kitchen cabinet island area properly.

This means you need to install plumbing and gas lines where necessary. In doing so, you will be making sure that the kitchen cabinet island will function as intended.

Infidelity Detective: Investigating a Lover or Spouse

Weve all heard the horror stories associated with relationships. Usually, these stories are the common issues that touch most, if not all, couples. A step up that ladder is infidelity statistics show that affairs affect approximately one in every three couples. Think about that for a minute. One out of every THREE. This means, even if you havent personally been cheated on, people in your life likely have been.

Also, millions of women each year are abused by the men in their life. Many of these women are ultimately murdered by the hands of their significant others. And its not just men that do the abusing women are abusers also. Abuse has many variations from the physical to the emotional and the far majority of it happens behind closed doors with someone the victim trusts.

Unfortunately, there are also con artists out there who purposely find emotionally needy targets to steal money from. They use their charisma and their lies to become romantically involved with their victims, and once the trust is established, they walk away. Not only leaving a broken heart, but often, an empty bank account. Many times, these victims never come forward because they blame themselves.

Today, it is easier than ever for someone to take advantage of you. With the advent of the internet, and the fascination with falling in love, internet matchmaking companies are big business. And, for the person looking to find someone to victimize, these organizations are a fairly anonymous way to begin their search.

There are many reasons why someone may want to investigate their lover or spouse. They could be in a new relationship with someone they dont know very much about, they could be contemplating marriage and are unsure if their intended has been honest with them, or they could be in a long-term relationship or marriage and believe their significant other is cheating on them. Regardless of the reason why, in todays world, it makes sense to be sure that your partner is who they say they are. In most circumstances, if your instinct is telling you something is off, it probably is.

Usually, when people are hiding something, there are clues to this. Knowing what to look for can help you in making the decision to investigate your lover or spouse. Realize, the following tips are based on the assumption that a couple is beyond the first date stage.

General Evasiveness. Are they vague when you question them about their job? Past relationships? Family? Schooling? Where they grew up? Whether they outright refuse to answer, or just never fully answer, this is a huge red flag.

Refusal to Give Contact Information. If you only have their beeper number, that signifies a problem. Even if you have their work phone number and their cell phone number, but not a home phone number you should be suspicious. Likewise, if you dont know where they live, and the individual is not forthcoming with this information, theres probably a reason why.

Keeps Friends and Family Hidden. If you have no idea who their friends and family are, have never met them, and dont even know where your partner hangs out with their friends and family be concerned. In healthy relationships, it is a normal and expected involvement to meet each others friends and family.

Deception. If youve caught them in lies, one after another, even small white lies this is a warning signal you should not ignore. When you know the facts about an incident and your partner is lying to you, theyre trying to keep you from discovering something. You need to carefully consider what they are hiding and why.

Missing Blocks of Time. Do they run to the store for one quick thing, and return three hours later? Do they suddenly have business meetings every night that run until late? Are they often unavailable at unexplainable times? Missing blocks of time often leads to the realization that your partner is cheating.

Complains about Lack of Money. If your partner is suddenly complaining about a lack of funds, and if this is a NEW thing, be careful. They could be spending their extra money on someone else.

New Concerns over Appearance. Suddenly worried about their physical appearance is a sign of infidelity. Those who have been cheated on always say their first clue was the new clothes in the closet, the excessive shaving, the using of perfume/aftershave when it wasnt before, the membership at the gym, etc. Basically, any behavior related to appearance the individual didnt have before.

The above characteristics do not mean your partner is lying to you, cheating on you, or is someone other than they say. However, they are suspicious in nature, especially if more than one of the above pertains to your partner. What do you do to confirm or deny your suspicions? There are many possibilities at your disposal if youre ready to investigate your lover or your spouse. Remember, the more information you have, the better decisions you can make.

Why Some Married Women Cheat On Their Husbands

Marriages in our society today do not seem to mean nearly as much as they used to in the past, with divorce commonly being the first preferential choice in modifying a married couples problems or troubles. Individuals who exchange their vows of matrimony, are not only making a promise to their new partner, but also to God, and many people seem to take that vow very lightly.

Just as men have unremarkably done in the past, in recent years is has become increasingly more common for women to cheat on their husbands as well. Women share many of the assonant reasons for cheating on their spouse as men do, the only difference is that it has somewhat been more acceptable behavior for that of the male species, than it is of the female species. Just as a man who lies down with many women is often referred to as a stud, when a woman implements the same behavior in herself, she is considered nothing more than a paramour, whore, concubine or worse.

Many women become unfaithful to their husbands out of revenge, and feel that if their husband is sleeping around, there is nothing to say that they themselves do not have the right to sleep around as well. Although it may feel great at first getting revenge, it truly fulfills no purpose, and can only aid in destroying what is left of the couple's marriage.

Women also tend to stray from their husbands when they are not getting enough attention from their husbands, whether it be mentally, physically or otherwise. Many women feel that they have become alienated from their husbands and no longer feel that there is any love or feelings between them, at least not coming from their husband's part. Depression and loneliness can lead an individual to do many things that they would never do had they been feeling like themselves.

Some women simply cheat on their husbands for the thrill of not getting caught, or the feeling that they are getting away with something. Often times it becomes an addiction for men and women alike, and seems to be uncontrollable until all is lost, including their marriage, their health, and many times their mental stability.

In closing, women cheat for exactly the same reasons that men do, and in either case, it is not physically safe to be sleeping around on your spouse, and risking losing your marriage, no matter how far lost you think your marriage may be. If you are that dead set on ending your marriage, go ahead and do it, before you start sleeping around, especially if you have children that will be hurt by your actions.
