Answer You - Making Money on the Global Warming Crisis
Marketing Your Books During Halloween briefly consider, what can we do to protect our finances? Global warming, climate change and an apocalypse soon to dawn on the horizon are probably too much reality for the here and now. But, what will you do ten to thirty years from now? This past week, we interviewed Julian Steyn, author of A Brighter Tomorrow, which he co-wrote with U.S. Senator Pete Domenici. A conservative and rational man, even he admittJust like Christmas is a wonderful time for children’s book authors to market their Christmas picture books, Halloween is the perfect time for horror authors. There are many events you can plan ahead of time to sell books during the spooky month of October. For instance, you may do book signings at normal bookstores, or, better yet, at horror specialty bookstores. You may host a Halloween party and invite all your friends, co-workers, relatives and neighbors. If you’re a children’s author with a Halloween-theme title, you can host a party for your children’s classmates, as well as do readings in schools and libraries.The important thing here, however, is to make the event fun and ‘spooky’ for everyone. At singings, why not wear a costume? If your book is about witches, why not disguised yourself as one and arrive with witch’s fingers cookies and a caldron with dry ice for a special effect? If your story deals with vampires, why not dress up as one and offer glasses of a deep red drink? The same goes for zombies, monsters, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures. The idea is to play out the ‘theme’ of your book, and to get plenty of attention. Decorate your table with spider webs, bats, rats or black cats, and other paraphernalia. Be friendly and always look at visitors in the eye when you talk to them. Offer them something to eat or drink—anything that will make them want to stay by your table and look at your book. Your imagination is the limit. It’s up to you to make your book signing a success, and although it’s not easy, it Simple Step-By-Step System to Online Failure Bad weather may be heading our way. Many very smart voices have raised their volume over the number of alarming red flags pointing to a worldwide environmental catastrophe coming in a few years or decades hence. One voice, coming from the sharp mind of James Lovelock is resounding across the world’s media nearly every day. His solution: get more nuclear reactors online and sequester the carbon dioxide emissions as fast as possible.I thought I’d be a little different this week. I’m always telling people how to succeed in their businesses, both on and off the Internet. So let’s go a little unusual today… Today I’m going to teach you a simple step-by-step system to failure.Why would you want to fail?I honestly don’t know, but after talking to many business owners I”m thoroughly convinced that’s what they’re trying to do. They have all their “failure” steps lined up and working for them.Some people seem to have this system down to a science. I thought I’d share it with you…so you can see if you’re going the direction you really want in your business.Step One: Don’t Follow-up On Your CustomersIf you want to make sure you fail, don’t follow-up on your customers. Sell one product or service. Take the money and run. If you want to make sure you don’t do well, offer a low cost ebook as your only income stream.If you find multiple related products and services that your customers want, you’re simply too likely to succeed. So make sure you don’t collect their information and follow up on them with relevant offers.Step Two: Listen to Everything the Gurus Tell YouWhen they tell you to buy something, do it. If they tell you they run advertising in a specific place, spend all your money to advertise there. They would never lie to you, would they?Smart marketers don’t listen to everything. They instead pay attention to everything gurus do instead of just what they say. But if your goal is to fail, you wan What’s the alternative? Move to the Arctic Circle, where you may someday bask year around with temperatures pleasantly at 74 degrees Fahrenheit. According to findings recently published in the journal Nature. About 55 million years ago, there was something called the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). In this PETM phenomenon, the entire Earth was heated up by a gigantic release of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide. Lovelock has insisted we may see that kind of hot later this century. Now, another brainy man, with whom we have many chats this year, has issued a special 56-page report, entitled “Investment Implications of an Abrupt Climate Change.” Co-authored by Market Strategist Kevin Bambrough and Eric Sprott, Chief Executive and Portfolio Manager of the world-famous money management firm which bears his name, they present a compelling argument as to why and how global warming and climate change is going to dramatically impact our financial world.

A conservative and rational man, even he admitt An eBay Seller's Checklist for Success Being a seller is a lot of responsibility, and sometimes you might feel like you’re not doing everything you should be. This simple checklist will help you keep on top of things.Have you found out everything you possibly could about your items? Try typing their names into a search engine – you might find out something you didn’t know. If someone else is selling the same thing as you, then always try to provide more information about it than they do. Do you monitor the competition? Always keep an eye on how much other items the same as or similar to yours are selling, and what prices they’re being offered at. There’s usually little point in starting a fixed price auction for ?100 when someone else is selling the item for ?90.Have you got pictures of the items? It’s worth taking the time to photograph your items, especially if you have a digital camera. If you get serious about eBay but don’t have a camera, then you will probably want to invest in one at some point.Are you emailing your sellers? It’s worth sending a brief email when transactions go through: something like a simple “Thank you for buying my item, please let me know when you have sent the payment”. Follow this up with “Thanks for your payment, I have posted your [item name] today”. You will be surprised how many problems you will avoid just by communicating this way.Also, are you checking your emails? Remember that potential buyers can send you email about anything at any time, and not answering these emails will just make them go somewhere else What’s the alternative?

But until then, we must weather a turbulent earnings season.Now, I'm not sure if your favorite penny stock company has announced their quarterly results yet, but I have noticed that there seems to be something missing at the end of (some of) the reports. And it's making my ability to predict the future that much more difficult.Typically, at the end of an earnings report, a company will finish off teasingly with a "forecast" or an "outlook" for the next quarter and sometimes the remainder of the year. Something that will make us stick by their side through thick and thin.Unfortunately, market volatility and ever growing geopolitical tensions are making it tougher for companies to predict what's going on quarter-to-quarter.Lebanon may not be an economic powerhouse that's part of your water cooler banter...but last week's Israeli bombing was enough to shake global markets. In addition, oil prices hit a new record and the Vix index of U.S. stock-market volatility shot up 29% in a week.It's tough enough trying to accurately predict how well your company is going to do quarter-to-quarter when times are good.

You are well advised to read it.When I recently presented a business networking workshop for the San Francisco Small Business Administration (SBA), a participant asked me about my thoughts on online networking. It's a great question that's rarely asked, so I wanted to share my response in this article.I think online networking is not very different from offline or in-person networking.Both are good tools or platforms to help you reach your goals. And in both cases, what you get out of it depends on how you use it.Still, I think there are some distinct advantages to online networking. Online networking platforms provide a centralized repository to store your contacts.Once you "connect" with someone through an online networking platform, their contact information is automatically added to your "network". You don't have to take an extra step to file or scan in their business cards like you have to do when you collect physical cards. You can see your contacts' information or profile easily.This is a really useful feature, because it's not possible to remember all the details about a person, even when you know them well.Also, as time passes, people's profiles change. So assuming they update their online profile, it's a good way to keep current.You can find specific people and make new contacts more quickly.This is the ultimate benefit. Having the profile details of people in your network stored in a central location (besides your brain) comes in handy when you're searchi Take Your Pick: Nuclear Energy or Cheap Arctic Land Aside from optioning to buy vast tracts of land near the Arctic Circle, as Dr. Lovelock’s conclusions force us to briefly consider, what can we do to protect our finances?

A conservative and rational man, even he admitted in an email, “I am afraid I do agree with his (Lovelock’s) concerns.”WORKING FROM HOME SUCCESSFULLY SOUNDS GREAT, BUT WHERE DO I START - AND HOW?Initially it is important to realize the pitfalls of working from home on the internet. Here are those that are the most common:SCAMS There are thousands of dishonest people on the internet who are eager to scam you out of your hard earned money without another thought. BEWARELACK OF MOTIVATION This is a common problem because most people are used to dealing with a boss who has expectations of what he wants of you. This of course and the fear of being fired is sufficient motivation for you. However working from home for yourself on the internet is a whole different kettle of fish. It is essential that you find your own motivation and choosing the right business for you is vital from this perspective.PROCRASTINATION It is easy to fall into this trap because you are used to others making the decisions for you and now you are your own boss and must take over this role. These obstacles are real and should be considered when thinking of choosing a home based internet business. Due to these factors it is vital that you choose wisely. Choose something that puts a spring in your step. A business that inspires your creativity and drives you forward with energy and vitality.It could be a life changing decision so think long and hard before making it. Do not be rushed by the onslaught of offers for get rich quick schemes which sound inviting and promising.THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A GET RICH SCHEME.Some offe If one finds logic within the statistical analysis presented by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a rational mind would want to start protecting his finances today in order to ensure future survival for his family and lineage. Esteemed scientists have picked their way through mountains of statistics, charts and projections about what is happening with melting glaciers, rising temperatures, higher sea levels and so forth. They do not like what they see, they are not alone, and the better minds are not endorsing wind farms or solar panels as “the solution.” They see nuclear fission reactors as mandatory, and the faster these go online, the less we will later have to sweat (literally). Eric Sprott and Kevin Bambrough have laid out a possible solution, a cogent thesis as to why we must stop fooling around now. They didn’t write the report to alarm and cajole you to lynch the next environmentalist or anti-nuke whom you come across. Messrs. Sprott and Bambrough provided a blueprint of what must be done by governments and decision-makers. More importantly, they have given us extremely provocative advice on HOW to protect our finances during the brewing crisis. Remember, it won’t just be some meteor hitting the earth (although that might happen, too). Global warming is tantamount to boiling water on your stove. First, it gets warm, then warmer and warmer. Eventually, it gets hot. Then, the water boils. In other words, the catastrophe will brew for a while, causing political and economic instability, and a host of other ills, probably better described in biblical terms.
