Section 1: The 5 Lies & Myths of Marketing Ploys…
For 10 years, the numbers have been the same: 97% of the people, trying to make
money online, are FAILING to make a profit. Now, there are a host of reasons for those kinds of numbers…And, it’s important to note, that NOT all of the reasons can be blamed on others! Sure,
there are “bad” programs, there are ‘useless’ eBooks, and there are many ‘slick sales pages’…which were
written by ‘slick salesmen’ who CAN NOT wait to separate YOU from YOUR
checkbook... BUT, at some point (especially after reading
this post), it is “YOUR” responsibility to be able to identify some of the ‘red- flags’ that are being used to
lure you away from Your money! It is also important that you know what the ‘Reality’ of making money
online (which is very different then what is being promoted at most programs). So, lets start with some common ‘myths’…And really, these could be more
accurately described as “marketing ploys”…Many times you will see one, or more, being used at the
same time, or on the same website. 1) Self-proclaimed “Gurus”…
This marketing ploy has been around awhile. This is when an eBook writer (or program owner), give
themselves a ‘name’…i.e.: “The Rich Jerk”, “The Affiliate Guru”, “The Money
King”…and several others. Now, I believe there is nothing wrong with ‘branding your product’. In
fact, ‘branding’ is a VERY important aspect of ‘brick & mortar’ Business…BUT, when you have NO idea what their product is (until you lay down your money), that is simply a marketing ploy.
They want you to remember their name, and if you hear or see it enough times, you may just buy into
it.
2) Quick riches… With VERY
few exceptions, most people
will fall for the ‘ploy’ of
quick riches. It is in our
nature, and from a very
young age, we understand
that the more money we
have, the more stuff we can
have. The ‘marketing ploy’
of “Quick Riches” appeals to
our sense of greed…
The “Quick Riches” ploy is
used at most money-making
websites these days. And,
the more ‘relatable’ it is, the
more we will pay attention
to the sales pitch…i.e.
“From Bankruptcy to $
150,000 per month, in 45
days”…
A lot of people can relate to
someone who has filed
bankruptcy, or who was on
the verge of bankruptcy…So,
this type of ‘marketing ploy’
helps to ‘keep’ people’s
attention, so they keep
reading the webpage.
You will see the “quick
riches” marketing ploy, ALL
THE TIME! In fact, you will
see marketing ploy #1 & #2
in combination with each
other, most of the time…
(Self-Named “GURU” in
combination with “Quick
Riches”).
Again, ask yourself: EXACTLY
what is the actual product?
3) The “Do-Nothing”
programs… This one just
drives me nuts! I have spent
a lot of time, surfing for
credits, at Traffic Exchange
programs, and on a daily
basis I STILL run into a
video where there is a
gentleman saying:
“You do not have to refer
others”… “You do not have
to promote”… “You do not
have to do the usual things,
that you have to do at other
programs”… “And this is
Double Your Money back
GUARANTEED…”
WOW…That is the most
incredible program ever,
right?
Well, in reality, that is a
‘slick’ marketer, who is
playing the ‘numbers’
game…Because if you throw
enough ‘stuff’ on the wall,
eventually some of it will
stick…There are a lot of
these types of programs,
and more seem to be
popping up, everyday!
Let’s use our common sense
for just a second. Name ANY
offline business where you
can do Absolutely Nothing,
and still make money? Well,
There Isn’t One…
The same BASIC business
principle applies to Online
businesses, too!
This “Do-Nothing” program,
is one of the major reasons
why 97% of people are
failing! People join (thinking
‘what could be simpler’),
and then within a couple
months, they realize that
they aren’t making any
money (and have NO useful
product to use), and then
quit…simply out of a couple
months worth of payments
to the “Do- Nothing”
program.
The next “ploy” is almost
Always tied together with a
“Do-Nothing” program…
4) Guarantees… Here is an
absolute statistical fact:
“ONLY 7% of people will
follow through with a
Money-Back Guarantee!”
A Money-Back Guarantee
can be a very effective
‘marketing ploy’…And even
though I usually fall in the
93% group (who never
pursue the guarantee)… For
the smart 7%, this can be
the deciding factor before
joining, or buying into, a
program.
Personally, I feel
“Guarantees” are a
legitimate marketing ploy,
and should be used, and
pursued, whenever they
apply. However, just be sure
to read the “Terms” of the
guarantee…i.e. The longer
the guarantee, the less
likely chance of you
pursuing it. Also, being able
to actually receive your
money back, is a whole
other issue…
Start looking at Guarantees
as a positive thing, but do
NOT make them the
deciding factor in your
buying decisions…More than
likely (93% chance), you
won’t pursue the guarantee,
anyways. I could not find
any hard data, on the
percentage of people who
actually receive their money
back…
5) Testimonials… This is the
age of “Joint Ventures”…In
fact, you may have even
seen an eBook being sold for
$27, describing the power of
“JV’s” and how to go about
finding “JV’s” to further
YOUR online earnings.
Joint Ventures are a very
smart way to go about
sharing ‘databases’ with
other website owners…And,
can be a GREAT source of
sharing website visitors,
and gaining new
customers…However, this
type of “marketing ploy”…
Even with ALL of the Great
advantages it brings, can be
a little misleading, when it
comes to “Testimonials” on a
website.
Obviously, a testimonial
from a “JV” partner, is going
to be over-the-top positive.
So, just use common sense,
when reading testimonials…
Take ALL testimonials with a
grain of salt.
In conclusion, regarding the
5 marketing ploys…
1) “Gurus” – who have a
memorable name, and
having TOP Secret
information, that you
supposedly don’t have
access to, and ‘must’ have in
order to make money!
Exactly what is the product?
2) “Quick Riches” – This one
is self-explanatory. Usually
includes a relatable
situation, and a ‘rags to
riches’ story.
3) “Do-Nothing Programs” –
This is the most FALSE
marketing ‘ploy’ of them all.
4) “Guarantee” – This one is
almost always combined
with a “Do- Nothing”
program…And remember;
only 7% of people will
actually follow through with
a guarantee.
5) “Testimonials” – Be sure
to take ALL testimonials
with a grain of salt…Many
times, they are in
combination with a Joint-
Venture.
Before spending YOUR hard
earned money…Take notice
of HOW many of the 5
marketing ploys are being
used on the sales page. The
more ploys being used, the
more likely that the
program, or information you
are buying, will be a
complete WASTE of time,
and will be GONE soon…
Taking YOUR Money & YOUR
TIME with it.
Be sure to notice what it is
that you are buying… Take a
quick look at the
Top3Percent.org…or…
TheBannerCoop.com
websites… Is the product
line clear? Do you know
EXACTLY what you will
receive for your money?

1 Painted Wardrobe
A painted wardrobe can come in a range of different designs. Many people don’t actually realise the importance of choosing the right wardrobe until they go to buy one, and they certainly don't realise that they will most likely have the painted wardrobe in their home for the next decade or more.

For most people, but most especially morning grouches, this makes purchasing the perfect wardrobe a necessity. So, with this in mind, here are a number of the best styles of painted wardrobes.2 Shaker Wardrobes

The French style of wardrobe is the complete opposite in many manners to the Shaker wardrobe. This extravagant piece of furniture is one of the most intricate. However, as painted wardrobe goes it is definitely very attractive. The ornate carving and beautiful feet of the wardrobe make it look like a glorious antique and really has a wonderful feel.4 White Wardrobe
One of the current in things in the world of wardrobes and most furniture as a matter of fact is the white, sanded look on wardrobes. The shabby chic design is all in and especially common in bedrooms. This can be often achieved with sanding of old wardrobes or for that matter you can buy wardrobes painted to this condition. The colours create a quite relaxed effect and fit in with most styles of bedrooms nowadays.5 Gloss Wardrobes
Some wardrobes are painted with bright colours. These Technicolor painted wardrobes have a really modern feel to them quite often and can really bring people’s attention to them. The array of colours makes the rooms feel that bit smaller as it has a reflective coating. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the room and what the person wants. You can create this painted wardrobe appeal yourself with a little bit of sanding and painting of any wardrobe and the right paint.6 Miscellaneous
Wardrobes come in all sorts of shapes and styles and designs and it is up to you when buying or doing them up to decide on what you want. Different personal and also bedroom and home styles should come into play. However, you should always, make a decision on the sort of painted wardrobe or natural wooden wardrobe you want – after all you are buying it. If you don’t see what you want initially, then take your time and wait until you do.

Dinner parties must be the most extravagant of affairs with a dining area that can seat up to 45 people and if that’s not impressive enough, this expensive home has a luxurious Turkish bath to boot.

This property is not only one of the most expensive homes in the world and in London but is the second largest just after Buckingham Palace! This Georgian style mansion boats 65 immaculately designed rooms, a three storey pavilion and a ballroom fit for the queen.

CAN A SOCIAL MEDIA MAKE A RESTAURANT SUCCESSFUL???
Guest post by STUART GREEN
The power of social media is growing, can Italian restaurants take advantage?cc licensed ( BY NC SA ) flickr photo shared by tray
Spreading The Word
The single biggest advantage of social media is that it allows free viral marketing, whether a restaurateur be promoting Italian recipes themselves or satisfied customers are giving widely seen recommendations of your excellent food offering. In order to be more interactive and build relationships with customers, a number of restaurants offer their Italian recipes, or at least variations of them, through various social media sites in order to raise awareness of their brand.
Promoting themselves through social media can lead to hugely increased levels of trade coming through your doors and eating your Italian recipes in your restaurant. Whether it is a new business looking to build a repeat customer base, or an established business pushing promotions based around Christmas or other events, social media can help you to quickly get the word out that your Italian recipes must be tried as soon as possible!
The Rough With The Smooth
Many businesses, whether they are restaurants or in another industry, look to social media and understand the power of such a medium. There is a danger though that the obsession with social media goes too far, and that without understanding the potential negative consequences it is crucial to realise that trouble could be around the corner.
If you are using social media to promote how good your restaurant and Italian recipes are, then if you on occasion fail to get it exactly right then you need to accept you may well be in for some flak, too. At this stage it is important that your PR machine, which is probably yourself, contacts the customer and does everything you can to bring them back to your restaurant to experience a tasty Italian recipe and see the “real” you.
Social Media Strategies
Probably the best way to approach social media is with caution. If you allow your followings to grow naturally and encourage those who come to your restaurant to join in first, you will be onto a path with a decent chance of success. Going after potential customers here there and everywhere may not do your business any favours, and in the worst case could make you even seem desperate. Approach your social media activity with care, and ultimately it will become a successful part of your restaurant’s growth. Your Italian recipes will soon be the talk of the town, and there won’t be a table left empty on any night of the week.

CHRISTIAN RESOURCES ONLINE

MAINTAINING YOUR FAITH ONLINE
The Internet can be a pretty wild and distasteful place, but it contains unprecedented opportunities for Christians to meet, study, and worship. Looking for a church in Los Gatos? A quick search will generate dozens of relevant results. You can narrow your search by denomination with church-finding websites that provide both national and international church locations.
Bible Study Tools
Online Bible study tools are amazing resources. You can quickly search the Bible by chapter and verse, scriptural quotes, or simply by keywords. Need to quickly see all the references the Bible makes to charity? Just type charity into a Bible study tool and you'll get every instance. Many study tools allow you to search multiple Bible translations, from the King James Version to less well-known translations.
The Internet is also a great resource for Sunday school teachers. Photos from the Holy Land and classical art add visual elements to stories about Jesus' life and other Bible stories. Sunday school resources include everything from pre-made lessons to songs, coloring pages, craft ideas, and games. You'll never lack Sunday school ideas again.
Christian Parenting Online
Parents looking for a little guidance can find many Bible-based parenting sites. Parents can find guidance on teaching children discipline, manners, and Christian ideals online, as well as help dealing with difficult topics. If you're unsure how to discuss hot-topic issues such as abortion with your child, Christian parenting sites offer some help.
Thoughts on what makes a good parent can vary widely and even Christians can have very different views on parenting issues. Bear this in mind as you read through any parenting site. You might want to discuss any parenting suggestions you find online with members of your congregation.
Christian Blogs and Forums
Christian-based forums offer people opportunity to reach out to other Christians online, discuss issues, organize missionary work, and coordinate charitable projects.

Good moderators keep forum trolling to a minimum.
Christian blogs can be used to share ideas with the world or act as an online bulletin board for your church. Online communication has become important for many Christian churches. Los Gatos congregations, for instance, might use blogs to communicate with church members performing missionary work in other countries or simply use the blog to post changes to scheduled church events.
Christian Dating Sites
Finding that special someone who shares your beliefs and values is important. To do so, many Christians turn to faith-based dating sites. Many of these sites are both reputable and well-controlled, but be sure to do your research carefully when choosing a site. Some dating sites simply slap "Christian" in their name to attract people, but don't really care if site users are Christian or not.
If you do use a Christian dating site and decide to meet someone, make sure you do so in a public place with friends or family present. One option is to invite the person to a church service, where you'll be surrounded by people you trust.
Now that you know more about online Christian resources, expand your horizons and consider learning more about a church in Los Gatos.
