They capture everything the user is doing — keystrokes, mouse clicks, files opened and closed, sites visited. A little more sophisticated programs of this kind also capture text from windows and make screenshots (record everything displayed on the screen) - so the information is captured even if the user doesn’t type anything, just opens the views the file. When unsuspecting users visit malicious sites, various nasty applications are downloaded and executed on their computers. Unfortunately, more and more often these applications contain keyloggers–software programs for intercepting data.

As ebook publishers we constantly strive to develop new information products that we
hope people will find value in, open up their wallets and graciously hand over their hard
earned dollars to us in their hope of learning something new or finding an immediate
solution to fix whatever problems they may be experiencing at that moment in their life. I
call this a hunger for curable knowledge, a fixer upper of sorts. It is often a battle for
many of us to decide on a realistic price that we believe the potential customer will
perceive as fair value. We all know, at times, this can be a painstaking task. We bounce
back and forth between prices, testing out the waters, trying to find just the acceptable
price range to motivate the visitor to make that all important decision. It’s easier said
than done. As marketers we have the temptation of offering bonuses as a way to increase
the perception that this info product we worked hard to develop is actually worth the
price were asking. But when does this strategy reach the plateau of overkill? To the
point where offering so many extra bonuses to entice the visitor to buy at the price of
$27.00, instead are we not actually implanting the emotion of doubt in our visitors mind?
Another difficult question to answer. As we all try our best to try and put ourselves in
our customers shoes, to try and figure out what their thinking when they see our offer, but
were not all psychic. Could our customers be thinking “If the author is offering this
many bonus ebooks in his or her offer to entice me to buy this one ebook is the
information in that ebook really worth the price?”. Then there’s alway’s the argument
that adding many bonuses to an existing offer definitely increases the chances for a sale.
Raises the perceived value of course! I agree that this type of marketing does work, but
only when applied to a book that we are asking a much higher price for, such as $97.00.
Asking people to fork out that kind of cash can be pretty risky simply because many
people can’t afford the asking price, or figure it’s not worth it. Whatever information
that is contained in that ebook had better be hard to come by information or the
percentage of refund requests could be high. To avoid this potential downfall is when
offering bonuses should come into play. But the bottom line is this, if the information
contained in the ebook your offering is truly valuable why bother offering a bunch of
bonuses in the first place, possibly risking making your prospect suspicious? Not
everyone perceives the same way. If they take the risk (and a lot of people who purchase
online feel they do take risks when making a purchase) and buy your info product
without any bonuses and like what they read, as long as it helped them, most of the time
they won’t ask for a refund, and you’ve made a sale and everyone’s happy. Long
extended no questions asked money back guarantees can be a great way of putting your
prospects fears at ease, but sometimes it can backfire to. But even more importantly than
offering bonuses, 1 year money back guarantees and all the rest, it’s absolutely critical
and probably the most important part of closing a sale is to have your contact information
in plain view on your site. A place they can call and to talk to a “real person” before
deciding to buy, and a physical address, not a P.O. Box. More often than not that’s all
that’s required besides good ad copy, but I see many sites in my web surfing adventures who fall short on
providing that information. As a customer would I buy from them…not a chance.

Bear in mind that your written material serves as a person-to-person communication between you and the reader. One of the benefits of writing articles is the rapport established between the writer, the client and the reader. Outlining your thoughts before you write will help you produce better articles. On the other hand, many writers simply start writing and record their thoughts as they are typing. The written word goes by many names, such as books, reports, booklet, folio, guide, pamphlet, magazine, etc. But keep in mind that no matter what name is used, the ultimate goal is to give the reader information and/or entertainment.

There are many reasons to choose writing articles as your home business. Your written product may show others how to start up or expand a new home business, give instructions on how to produce arts and crafts, how to choose and prepare for a new career, how to improve your financial situation, enjoy life more, how to save money, how to solve personal crises, or how to attain success in relationships with others.

The best written material is thoroughly researched, factual, to the point, authoritative and interesting to the reader. Whether you are writing articles for someone else or for yourself, choose your subject matter wisely. A benefit of writing for yourself is that you can choose a subject that you already know something about. A benefit of producing written material for someone else is that you may learn something new. The key is to write in a manner that will catch and keep the reader’s interest.

There is something stirring in the world - a kind of intellectual buzz coming from seemingly nowhere. This buzz is causing a great deal of imaginative inspiration and the uncovering of ancient truths once lost to mankind and now being re-found.

When I was writing and researching for The Serpent Grail due out in May 2005 I was acutely aware of a void in the Grail arena. Everybody, to my mind, was going down the wrong path. Bloodlines of Christ, aliens and even medieval propaganda did not explain what I had discovered. It seemed there were no others on the same trail. And then another researcher called Gary Osborn got in touch. He wanted to tell me about an incredible discovery he had made. I welcomed his thoughts as I always do. But this time I was in awe. We had both come to the same conclusions from completely different angles.

Amazed and somewhat in shock we decided to put our thoughts together to create the definitive Serpent Grail book. Before this time there was a vacuum occupied by Messrs Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln and the spurious Da Vinci Code. They were all wrong and being lead down a path that simply was not true.

As I write this monologue it seems that many disparate groups are actually now coming to similar truths that we too have come to in complete isolation.

This upsurge of “mental sparks” can only mean one thing to us - that what we have discovered is true. You see it all relates. The Jungian idea of the collective unconscious is only partly true. We say that Jung missed a big element that we will reveal through scientific means. Jung should have pushed a little more.

What we have discovered was an ancient truth that implies great upsurges in mental “coincidence” across the globe. It is a kind of liquid synchronicity of thought and has been a massive secret for hundreds of years.

Our discovery has lead us to yet more amazing discoveries and to the uncovering of hundreds of elements of ancient wisdom truths. It may be that by us moving back the stone from the tomb of the mind we have unleashed a great torrent of esoteric activity, or it may be more simple. The fact remains that when The Serpent Grail is released it will we hope, help people like us to uncover yet more mysteries of the ancients.

Did you know there are only 6 ways of forming Chinese characters?

Yes, 6 kinds of Chinese characters make up the 50,000 Chinese
characters in existence today.

Amazing isn’t it?

It shows that there is a logical symbol system used to create
Chinese characters.

That they are not just random lines and strokes.

Once you know these 6 types of Chinese characters, you’l find
that learning Chinese writing isn’t so difficult after all.

Oh, one more thing…

The “radicals”

No, these have nothing to do with extremists or terrorists.:)

They are the “root elements” of Chinese characters.

The meaning part of Chinese characters.

There are 214 of them.

They exist independently or are part of complex characters.

Once you get a general idea of the common radicals, you can
guess the meaning of Chinese characters.

Modern Chinese dictionaries are organized by radicals - starting
with one-stroke radicals, two, three and so on, and hanyu
pinyin, the modern Chinese Romanization system.

So you see, by knowing the radicals and the 6 ways of forming
Chinese characters, one can pretty much guess the meaning and
sound of Chinese characters.

Not all, but many of them.

So, what are the 6 ways of forming Chinese characters?

The earliest Chinese characters some 4,000 years ago were shaped
like the things they represented.

These are called pictographs.(1)

They were pictures of humans, animals and natural objects.

The 300 plus pictographs form the building blocks of Chinese
writing.

Later to create more words, symbols were added to pictographs to
form ideographs.(2)

And two or more pictographs were combined to form composite
ideographs.(3)

As you can imagine, this symbol system could not produce a lot
of Chinese characters easily.

So borrowed characters came into being.(4)

A character was borrowed because it had the same sound,
disregarding the meaning.

So “new” characters with the same sound but different meanings
were formed.

But what happened to the original characters?

In order to retain their original meanings, a meaning component
was added to the sound component.

These gave rise to phonetic compounds.(5)

These are Chinese characters with a sound part and a meaning
part.

Today, this type of Chinese characters make up 80% of Chinese
characters in use.

The last type of Chinese characters are called Transferred
characters.(6)

Transferred characters share the same radical and have the same
meaning but their pronunciations are different.

So early Chinese characters were created based on meaning alone
and started from pictures.

Eventually, each Chinese character became “a unit of sound and
meaning” like what we have today.

But it remains possible to guess the meaning of Chinese
characters from the meaning component, the radicals.

charcters complete with Chinese character examples, go to

Both writing and delivering a eulogy are emotional, but at the same time a step towards healing. It’s never easy to put into words what someone’s life meant to you and to summarize their life in just a few minutes. By following the seven steps below you’ll be on your way to creating a memorable and heart felt eulogy.

Step One: Gather information. Jot down as many personal notes about the deceased as possible. Look at photos. Flipping through photo albums may remind you of important qualities and memories of the person who died. Answer a few questions: What made your loved one truly happy? What inspired you to write this eulogy? What were your loved one’s passions? What will you remember most about this person? Keep in mind that a eulogy is not a biography but more your personal thoughts and remembrances from your point of view. You may want to ask co-workers, friends and others for their stories and memories. You should see some repetition in your notes and this will lead to the main theme.

Step Two: Begin to organize your content. Outline the eulogy in these steps:
I. A beginning to establish your theme.
II. A middle section to build on your theme with personal stories, information, quotes, comments, sayings, poems and other content. This information should make up 90% of the eulogy.
III. A short conclusion to summarize your thoughts and restate your theme.

Step Three: Work first on the middle section (Part II). Once you have this part the beginning and summary will be easy. Develop the outline by grouping similar themes from your notes from Step 1. For example, you might want to gather all the achievements together. Merge the comments about the deceased’s philosophy of life.

Step Four: Organize the conclusion (Part III). A conclusion reminds the listeners of the theme and imprints the strong feeling you have about the loss. The key is to conclude effectively and quickly. Here is an example:
“We will all miss Jackie’s sense of humor, her talent for knowing what is really important in life and her famous chocolate chip cookies” (a little humor doesn’t hurt as long as it’s not offensive to anyone).
“Her example lives as an inspiration for all of us to follow.”

Step Five: Write the beginning of the eulogy (Part 1). This usually starts with an attention getter. It will set the theme and can be in the form of a short story, a poem, a saying, lyrics to a song. It will introduce the goal and theme you used when you began the process.

Step Six: Polish it up. Your best bet is to walk away from it for a few hours or overnight if possible. Work on it so it sounds like a conversation. You want to talk to the audience as naturally as possible.

Key tips: Keep it short, 4-8 minutes long, 3-7 typed pages.
Type it out using 14 pt type so it’s easy to read.
Vary sentence length.
Number the pages.
Practice the eulogy aloud and time yourself.
Read it to friends and family and get their feedback. Edit where necessary.
Keep the content in good taste and keep it positive.

Step Seven: Delivering the eulogy.
While normally speakers do not read word-for-word, because you are more than likely going to be emotional, don’t be afraid to read word for word. This way you won’t leave out any key points you or others wanted said.
If making eye contact with members of the audience will make you emotional, either try and keep your eyes on the page or look just over the top of the audience to the back of the room.
Feel free to pause, take a deep breath and drink some water. Everyone will understand. They are emotionally distraught also.
Speak as naturally as you can just as if you were telling someone about your loved one. Speak up. It’s very important that you speak clearly and loudly so that everyone can hear you.
Keep the written eulogy as a memento. You can add it to your memento chest and share it with others who may want a copy.

By following these steps, writing and delivering a eulogy will become less stressful and more of a healing process.

Why to write article? Article Directories are the best source
of publishing and generating traffic to your web-site. Several
of these sites will publish your article right away, and because
of higher rankings of these sites, your article will quickly
indexed in the search engines.

Many article directories are looking for new articles that can
be used on their websites, blogs, and in their ezines. Following
are the major reasons why to write articles. 1. Write to reach
more people: When you write good articles, people may visit the
site often looking for new articles and information from you. 2.
Write for free advertising: Submitting your articles to other
websites provides an opportunity to advertise your website
without paying exorbitant fees. 3. Write to gain high search
engine ranking: Optimize your article to make it search-engine
friendly. After you publish your article, search engines will
craw that article and you may get good page ranking from this.
4. Write to increase link popularity: Submit an article at other
sites, be sure to include a link to your site in your resource
box. When these websites publishes your article, you
automatically get a link back to your site. 5. Write to
establish credibility: Through writing good and original, you
not only give your site exposure, but you also create a good
impression with your prospects. How to Write Article: Certainly,
it is good to write your own article, but before begin to write
you should research on writing article styles. A good research
helps you to know where to start, and can help to make the
article smoother.

There are some writers who like to write their articles without
a plan, but beginners, especially, those who are apt to find
them helpful. However, you don’t have to stick to the outline
completely, but can change it around while writing. You can get
some tips from http://www.1888Articles.com.

Submit Your Article to Editors: After completing writing your
articles you can submit it to the editors of E-zines that are in
constant need of fresh articles. Submission procedures are
casual. Many will also welcome unsolicited articles.

Simply send an e-mail to the editor your article with a short
personal note. Most of the websites and ezines have specific
submission strategies they want you to follow. Check ezine web
sites for submission guidelines.

Once the editors realize that you can post them good articles,
you can post your articles into a regular column. Submit Your
Articles to Online Article Directories: If you do a search for
article directories or article banks, you will possibly find
hundreds of them on internet. Submit your articles to various
directories that provide free submission of the article to their
article to their sites. There are many sites out there, which
allow writers and author to submit their articles, for example
http://ezinearticles.com, http://goarticles.com and
http://www.shvoong.com and many more. You can search for
directories on search engines by using keyword like “free
article submission”.

Writing article itself is the most significant part of the
process. Make it informative and interesting to lure the
reader’s attention. It is recommended that you should spend more
time on writing and editing the actual article than on the
research.

There are groups of people who are willing to buy nonfiction
ebooks: hobbyists. At any given time, these people are looking
for ways to spend their money on their hobbies. Their passion is
your financial gain. What avid hobbyists want will always make
great ebook material. Note that I did not say what hobbyists
need. You may have certain opinions on what exactly certain
people should need or should read. But those are not necessarily
good topics for immediate ebook profit. Those topics may be
areas for you to dabble in at your leisure. However, if you want
to make money at this, find out what niche groups want, and hit
those groups with your ebook.

Find hobbyists and niche groups by searching the web for
“popular hobbies,” “enthusiasts,” or “what America is buying.”
Or, you can search specifically for forums and discussion groups
for hobbyists. In the forums, people talk with each other to
share ideas with one another. Often, they will exchange
testimonials for equipment, upcoming events, and books.

One popular site where hobbyists go to talk to one another
online is Yahoo!. Check it out. Go to www.yahoo.com. Click
“groups.” On the groups page you’ll see a list of categories
such as Business & finance, and Religion. For demonstration
purposes, click on “Games.”

On the games screen, game subcategories are listed followed by
numbers. The numbers indicate how many discussion forums are
available for that subcategory. These numbers reveal a lot.
Notice how “role playing games,” and “video & computer games”
have factors of ten or in some cases factors of 100 more forums
than other subcategories. “Wargaming” and “paintball” don’t even
come close, although those categories are much more
discussion-laden than “horseshoe pitching.”

For fun, one day I continued selecting subcategories until I
arrived at a list of over a thousand (yes a thousand) discussion
groups on Yahoo having to do with vampire role playing. Here’s
how I got there: Games>>Role Playing Games>>Live Action>> World
of Darkness>>Vampire: The Masquerade.

Some of the forums are open to new members, and you can join to
read what everyone’s discussing. Once in the forum, you can
review discussion threads from today, yesterday, or a year ago.
Don’t go back too far if you want to find out the hottest
possible ebook topics. You can participate in discussions if you
like. FYI, do not drop into a discussion group just to market an
ebook; hobbyists consider this spam and will drop you from the
group.

When you read and/or participate, you’ll find out what this
group is buying. All you have to do is skim to find out what
questions they are asking each other about products or traveling
or information. What they are interested in buying is a key
piece of information because passionate consumers love to
research before they buy. This is an immediate ebook market. Write a book on how to
select the best this or that on the market, related to the
current wants of the enthusiasts.

Enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes. Think brides-to-be,
golfers, whitewater rafters, people who collect vintage baseball
cards, wine connoisseurs, gardeners, frequent vacationers, video
gamers, and parents who put their children into private
tutoring, ballet, and violin lessons before age 3.

There are some hobbies that seem to continually attract
enthusiasts, like playing golf, watching football, restoring old
cars, and listening to music. These are classics. Then there are
some hobbies that seem to come and go in waves, such as Red Hat
Societies participation, snow boarding, or line dancing. Pick
either a classic hobby or a fluctuating hobby in its peak season
for your best odds.

A big market on the Internet is the 20-30 set. Here’s what they
are doing right now, according to one survey. They’re
snowboarding, wakeboarding, traveling, camping, listening to
music, taking photographs. They’re drinking gourmet coffee, rock
climbing, playing guitar, camping, dancing, looking for online
love, shopping for computers and other electronics, attending
sports events, studying the Bible, exercising, trying to find
jobs, and watching movies. Any one of these subjects would make
a great ebook with a buying market standing by.

I’ve finished my first book: each word has been read and re-read, each sentence edited, each page a labor of love. All my family and friends have read my book and assured me it’s wonderful - sure to be the next bestseller. I have an agent, who praises my work and artistic genius. He submits my manuscript to dozens of publishers and soon a bidding war ensues. I can imagine that big advance in my bank account right now.

BUZZZZ (This would be my alarm clock, because I’ve been dreaming!)

My book may be done, but the work has just started.

There are various types of publishers: some are large commercial houses, while others cater to niche markets. You (or your agent) must find appropriate publishers for your book, based on the genre, whether it is fiction or non fiction, the intended audience, etc.
To locate a publisher, you may begin your research at your local library or bookstore. Here you can find books which are similar to yours and appeal to your target audience. The publisher’s name and address can usually be found in the front of the book. Once you have a list of possible publishers, you can continue your research by visiting their web sites, where you will look for submission guidelines, whether or not the publisher accepts unagented or unsolicited queries and a list of editors. If the web site does not include a list of editors in house, find a copy of the Literary Market Place reference guide, which contains a list of publishers and their editors. If you can not find an individual editor’s name, do not send materials to that publisher. With so much incoming mail, a package addressed to “Editor” or “To Whom it May Concern” will most likely be thrown away, unopened. Save your postage.

Include an introductory letter which is informational, no more than one page in length, to the point and professional. Tell the editor if your work is fictional, non fictional, include a sentence or two summarizing the book and then a brief summary of your credentials. Do not make claims that your book will be the next best seller, or comparisons to other works.

It is acceptable to submit your work to more than one publisher at a time, however, do not submit to more than one editor at a publisher at a time. If one editor passes, do not resubmit to that particular publisher.

Fiction

An editor, sorting through thousands of submissions a week, does not have the bandwidth to receive, store and read entire manuscripts. Instead, you should submit a story synopsis (spoilers and all), a sample of your writing and a resume.

1. Story Synopsis - The synopsis should be concise and include a complete description of the story. An editor does not have time read your entire manuscript when evaluating your submission, so you need to lay it all out there. Don’t tease or drop hints that there is a terrific surprise ending.

2. Writing Sample - 100 pages or the first three chapters is a typical submission, although you should tailor this to meet the specific guidelines of the publisher you intend to contact. Keep in mind appropriate formatting as well: 1″ margins, 12 point font, double spaced, indented paragraphs, etc.

3. Resume - Should include your writing credits, published works, articles, awards, etc.

Non Fiction

When proposing a non fiction book to an editor, you do not need to have a finished work. Instead, you should have a proposal, a table of contents, a short writing sample and a resume. This information, in addition to your credentials and ability to contribute a new perspective or information to the existing market will be sufficient for an editor to evaluate your work.

1. Proposal - Identify a question or problem and how you intend to provide the answer or solution. According to Susan Rabiner and Alfred Fortunato, authors of Thinking Like Your Editor: How to Write Great Serious Nonfiction — and Get It Published, editors require answers to the following 5 questions:

1.What is this book about?
2.What’s new here?
3.Why are you the person to write this book?
4.Why is now the time to publish this book?
5.What is the core audience you are writing this book for, and why will that audience find what you have to say a “must read?

Rabiner and Fortunato do not recommend you include these questions in your proposal, but rather, they recommend you incorporate them into the letter’s text. This is important to demonstrate your ability to communicate in text rather than Q&A or outline form.

2.Table of Contents - Proposed structure of the book, which may be topographical or chronological. Include the title for each chapter and in one or two paragraphs, summarize the chapter’s contents

3.Writing Sample - Will demonstrate your skill level and voice. It must be appropriate for the type of book you intend to write. A humorous antidotal tone may not be appropriate for a book on cancer research whereas a dry, matter of fact tone may not be appropriate for a book on craft projects for kids. The best way to know the appropriate voice is to read current books on the market.

4.Resume - You must establish yourself as an expert on your subject, so include any and all relevant information, including: your occupation, your lifestyle, your life experiences, education, organizations, awards, publicity, etc.
Don’t forget to include a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) if you want your materials returned.

Now, finally, you can get back to the business of writing, and wait for the money to come rolling in.

BUZZZZ

You have decided on a great idea and researched a publication, what’s next?

Before you write any part of your article you should write a statement. This will keep you focused and makes the writing process much easier and quicker.

A statement should be concise and have between one and three sentences. Here are a few examples:

How to buy a good second-hand motor vehicle
Changing jobs and finding your ideal position
Moving house with little or no stress
Five secrets of a healthy mind and body

The next step is to write between three and six essentials you would like to cover in the article. For example:

“How to buy a good second-hand motor vehicle”

1. Where to obtain finance
2. Who can check the vehicle for roadworthiness?
3. Will a trade-in be required?
4. Decide on the vehicle make and year

You can write them down in any order and then simply renumber them in the order you want each one to appear in the article.

Now you know exactly what you are going to write about. Research will be effective and less time consuming. Anything that slips into your article that is not one of the essentials or directly relates to the statement doesn’t belong and should be removed.

A statement keeps you focused during the research, writing and editing processes. You have a clear direction. The content of your article will be meaningful.

Editors will love your work and keep asking you for more.
