Editorial

Greetings my friend,

It's been about a month since the last issue of Pragmatic Solutions Now! was published.  During that time, I've caught up with some of the other projects I've been working on, particularly the new Belief Entrainment Package being developed on the PowerKeys Publishing website.

I also spent some time diving into a new area for me -- video editing.  At this point, I'm still practicing, preparing to do screen capture videos to show folks how I do some things, like build and run Drupal-based websites.  For those interested, my tools of choice are BBFlashBack for recording the computer screen, and Sony Vegas Movie Studio for video editing.

And most importantly, I took some time to have fun, just as I and contributing author Charles Burke suggested in the last issue of the ezine.

In this issue, I'm trying something new which I hope will be fun.

Not only do we have a collection of useful articles, but I've also hidden a coupon code on the website (on one of this week's posts) that gives a 50% discount on the Prosperity Package offered on the PowerKeys Publishing website.

This discount coupon code will be valid only for the 1st 20 folks who use it, or until next Friday, whichever comes first.  At 50% off, this $97 package may be yours for just $48.50.

As usual, current members of the PowerKeys Publishing site will need to use the order form inside the members area to take advantage of this special offer.  You'll find that on the "Membership Admin" page after logging in there.

 

Current Events

Ten days from now, the folks over at Mind Movies will start giving away a series of free videos.  You'll see the official announcement in next week's issue, but I wanted to give you an early notice on it so you know what's coming.

And speaking of videos, I'll be producing several myself in the coming weeks.

Other than this, not a lot to report.  It's a nice, easy summer week here in Michigan.

 

This Week's Articles

This week, we have an article from contributing author, Charles Burke, as well as a featured download called "Makin' Book."  As you'll see, creating ebooks can be relatively easy and certainly profitable.  I have 1 ebook which has been responsible for over $50,000 in sales, another which brought in over $30,000, and others that continue to make money for me month after month.

We also have 4 articles from guest authors, covering several areas, from dating advice and weight loss tips, to solutions to online business problems.

Enjoy!

7 Secrets To Building Your Online Credibility

Written by Ray Edwards

In a way, the Internet may be compared to the Wild Wild West. (Where do you think the acronym 'WWW' came from?) There is no real central authority that is in charge and many scam artists take full advantage of this. Especially as a small business owner with no large company name behind yours, building credibility in the prospect's mind becomes crucial.

Here are seven ways to build your online credibility.

1. You may find it beneficial to place your picture (even a smugshot) on your website.

Brick and mortar stores have the advantage since the clerk has a direct face-to-face conversation with the customer. It is therefore easier to 'connect' and form a relationship.....Read more »


10 Easy Rules for Online Dating Success

Written by Trevor Taylor

In theory, online dating is the ideal way to meet your 'perfect partner', yet a surprisingly small percentage of members actually succeed in finding what they seek online. There are, however, some simple rules, which if followed, will greatly increase your chances of success in the online dating arena.

1. Firstly, it is important that you choose the ideal dating website to suit your particular interest. There are now many niche areas in online dating, for example single parent dating or sports dating and you should use the search engines to find a selection of dating websites where you consider you are most likely to find your ideal date.....Read more »


Make Money Online by Selling Low-cost Content-rich Reports

Written by Liane Bate

There is nothing that has motivated me more lately than selling some hot internet products directly from my website. Ever since adding Clickbank products to my site related to my internet marketing business, I have seen a fairly regular stream of sales coming in. The beautiful thing about it is that these products have not been over-priced courses or e-books, but are lower-ticket items in the $5-$25 price range!

You may be wondering how you can make good money online by selling such cheap products. The key is that they are not "cheap" in the sense that they have no value. In fact, they are products in high demand because they do provide exceptional value at a lower cost than other internet marketers may charge. This is why writing short, content-rich reports becomes an important and easy way to generate cash flow for your online business.....Read more »


5 Easy Tips to Shed a Few Extra Pounds

Written by Tony Martin

The holiday season is a time when most people tend to let go, throwing caution to the wind. Overspending on credit cards, overindulging on alcohol and just eating a bit too much are some of the outcomes. Come January/February and we get a huge shock when we see the credit card bill, or step on the bathroom scale. I can't help you with the credit card bill, but can help loose those extra pounds.

One true fact about weight loss is 'No Pain, No Gain' or maybe that should be no pain no loss. There is no quick fix when it comes to shedding off those pounds regardless of what medical remedies may say. Your body weight doesn't just consist of fat, some of the weight is water weight while some is muscle but we are all mostly concerned about weight due to fat which unfortunately is the hardest to loose. Water weight is relatively easy to loose which is also why some of these remedies or drugs that claim to help you loose weight in a matter of days are most likely false. You might loose weight when you check the bathroom scale but is it really fat you're loosing?....Read more »


Getting Others to Help You Succeed

Getting ahead in the world is a team effort. We all need mentors and people who will help us on the journey. But what will it take to attract the right people into our lives?

You've no doubt heard the old proverb about finding a love partner: to attract a wonderful person, you must become a wonderful person to whom that wonderful person would be attracted.

Everything successful between people is based upon giving.

It's like going fishing. If you want to catch a fish, you don't go down to the river and yell, "Okay, you fish jump up here in my net, now."

No, what you do is offer them something they want. Something they like. You give them worms, not because YOU like worms, but because THEY do.

 

FISH & FOLKS

If that works with fish, it'll work with mentors and co-workers. Of course you don't intend to pan-fry your co-workers. Your relationship with them will hopefully last a lot longer than your relationship with that fish.

This means you'd better offer them something with longer lasting value than "bait."....Read more »


Until next time, Have Fun!  And good luck on getting the special surprise I've reserved for the 1st 20.
