So You Want to Write a Book?
One of the best things that you can do to help grow your business and to position yourself as an expert in whatever field you may work in is to write your own book.
The problem is writing a book can be hard even if you are a seasoned writer.
In this guide were going to talk about different ways that you can have your own book completed by this time next month regardless of if you decide to write yourself or if you choose to take the easy route and have somebody else write it for you.
I would not have believed it if I hadn't done it for myself. You can actually write a book without actually doing the writing. Because of an interesting legal twist, you can hire a writer, and then when the writer is finished, you own the complete copyright to the work. If it sounds too good to be true, it almost is!

What Are Resell Rights
Resale Rights are somewhat of a confusing topic for many people. Learning how to properly determine the rights that you actually get when you purchase a product with resell rights can be a complete nightmare.
In general, there are three major options that the most common types of resale rights and each has its own particular set of rules. Trying to ensure that you get the exact rights that you need is much easier once you actually understand all of the differences.
The first set of rights that are used for resell are the master resell rights. These rights are sold to an individual and enables them to turn around and sell the product, to someone else. That would then enable that person to turn around and resell it as well. To make this a bit easier to understand we will assume that Tom created an article. He sold master resell rights to Stella and Steven. Because Stella and Steven had purchased master resell rights they would have the ability to turn around and resell the rights to someone else. The rights that Stella and Steven choose to sell can differ from the rights that they were given. They could choose to sell either master resell rights, or they could instead opt to only sell basic resell rights.
Now that we have mentioned basic resell rights, we will take a look at them a moment. If we use the same seller Tom and also the same article, he might choose to sell to someone else as well. However, for a lower fee that was arranged perhaps he decided to only give Tonya basic resell rights. This means that Tonya would not have permission to sell master resell rights to the article. This means that Tonya can sell the article to whomever she pleases, however the people that she sells the article to may not under any circumstances resell the work. This is a very large distinction from master resell rights, which would allow Tonya’s customers to again resell the article.

Home Security – Keeping Safe In Your Home
It is not unusual to be concerned about the safety of your house and its valuable assets from the insatiable eyes of the thieves that can strike anytime in your house and rip you off leaving you sitting in an empty house. Be assured, since thinking about the safety of your house is nothing but natural and the best thing is that you can do a lot to protect your house in that respect. Just like you take care of your computer by installing the latest anti-viruses, anti-spywares and other firewalls, protecting your house from the burglars is no more different. It is important that you ask yourself some questions, which would help you to determine how safe your house is. They would include questions like whether you have ladders or any other tools that a thief could use to break into your house, whether you have any sort of alarm which could alert you of any possible break-in, etc. If all these questions point out that your house isn’t safe from the burglars, it is about time that you do something about it.
Firstly, you have got to remember that thieves would generally avoid those homes that are always occupied by residents. However, mistaking this fact to mean that you family would be safe could be the greatest mistake that you could have ever made. Burglars would stop from doing anything, which means that to get to the loot, they could even harm your family. However, you would be just as helpless when you have been robbed off your belongings when you are not there in your home at all. Now that you know about the risks that involve with respect to a burglary, it is important that you be aware of some common sense that could come a long way with respect to protecting your house as well as its valuable assets from any possible break-in and the best thing about these tips is that it is much more easier than the pain staking installation of the anti-viruses that you do in order to protect your computer systems from any virus threats.

An Introduction To Social E-Mail Marketing
While some people would like to have you believe that e-mail marketing will soon become extinct in 2012 and beyond nothing could be further from the truth.
There are many people that would like to have you believe the new way of communicating with friends and customers will soon be strictly social and skip the e-mail marketing process altogether.
While I will not deny that social marketing sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn are a great way to stay in contact with your crowd we still need to heavily focus on quality e-mail marketing.
The ForeSee Results report on social media reports that 64% of consumers that are active on the Internet if given the choice prefer promotional contact from retailers by e-mail over of social media.
There's also been tests and reports that have proven many times that e-mail marketing still pulls much higher conversion rates when selling products to consumers than any other type of customer contact including all forms of social media.
Admittedly social media outlets are a great way to get subscribers on to your e-mail list with freebies and premium bribes offered through the social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook, following up with those customers is best done through direct response e-mail.
While there is very little doubt that social media is here to stay, I predict that in the very near future were going to start seeing e-mail begin to develop its own social medium interaction in ways we have never seen before..
A perfect example of this is a new app that you can hook up to your Gmail account called Rapportive.com
Rapportive is an incredible new Gmail app that shows you everything about your contacts right inside of your e-mail inbox.
Rapportive gives you instant updates on what your e-mail contacts are doing in all of their social media accounts including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more.
Rapportive gives you content rich profiles right inside of your Gmail account including a photo of the person you're talking to. This kind of social interaction in your inbox gives your e-mail a more personal feel.
There are also links to allow you to follow anyone you may be e-mailing on the off chance that you're not already socially connected to that person.

PUBLIC SPEAKING
Any guide to success in an endeavor will tell you that there is no magic formula to success. But in a lot of fields of endeavor, there seem to be "insider secrets". And taking on the challenge of becoming a truly great public speaker is a noble ambition. But if you could learn the insider secret that makes the difference between good public speakers and great ones, that would help you make that transition.
Actually there is one great secret to what makes speakers that really shine in front of a group so great. But it isn't magic or something that you can take as a pill and an hour later, presto, you are ready to stand up and dazzle the crowd. It is a very simple process that is something you already know a lot about. It is just simple, old fashioned hard work and preparation.
The further in advance you can start getting ready for a presentation, the better your public speaking will be. You know that feeling of terror that you experience when you address a crowd. Well you may not be able to pinpoint why that feeling comes upon you because who can think when terrified? But many times it comes up because you aren't completely prepared and you don’t know what to do or how it will go because the material is not as well developed as it should be.
If you put the work in on your presentation, it will make all the difference in the world when you stand up to give your presentation. First of all, make sure the content meets your standards. You should make that speech compelling and fascinating to you. And if that presentation is full of great material that it not only fascinates you but you will be eager to get up there and share what you know with this crowd. And that eagerness to speak is a very refreshing feeling when it replaces that terror you felt when you did not work hard in advance to make sure the material was well developed in advance.

Why You Need to Follow Up with Your Customers
You create a digital information product, and work hard towards your product launch. You announce it to your list. You’ve even done quite a bit of legwork in advance and promoted it via email, Twitter, Facebook, article marketing and guest blogging… and maybe even a guest interview on a web radio show.
The big day comes. You’re quite pleased with the sales. But they trickle off within the first month - perhaps even the first week or two – and after that, you’re lucky if you make $100 a month on your product.
There’s something wrong with the scenario here: Most likely the lack of a follow up plan.
Your Follow Up Plan
It’s actually amazing how many people don’t realize the importance of contact or sales follow up – let alone having an actual follow up plan for every campaign. Yet this happens with a huge percentage of online entrepreneurs. They put all their emotion and energy into creating the product and launching it... and leave the sales to take care of themselves.
The truth is, even if your sales are good, there are so many more ways to maximize them, and it should all be done at the planning stage.

SO YOU WANT TO BE A COACH
If you hold a business management degree or have prior experience running a profitable small to medium sized business, you have a unique talent. Many Americans would love to run their own business, but most do not know how. You can teach them how. Running a business coaching service is not only an exciting opportunity, but it has the potential to bring in large profits.
If interested in starting a business coaching service, you will wonder about your profits and clients. How you will get clients? By marketing and targeting the individuals who can benefit from your services. Who are they?
New business owners. Most new business owners take time to create their empire. They brainstorm and develop a plan, secure financing, and get to work. This is how small businesses should get started, but many do not take this route. Some individuals get an idea in their head to start a business and make money; they run with it. Action is key, but so is careful planning. Acting without first thinking of a solid plan is one of the reasons why many new small to medium sized businesses fail. You, as a business coach, can stop that from happening.

LOVING YOUR CAT
Are you a new cat owner? If so, there will come a point in time when your cat becomes “just like one of the kids.” However, until that time arrives, it is up to you to understand your cat and the small signals that he or she may be sharing with you.
As important as it is to hear that it will be your responsibility to understand your cat and decipher the signals that he or she may be sending you, you may be wondering why. Many pet owners often respond with something like “what the heck?” If you are a new pet owner or a first-time pet owner, you may not understand just how much your cat relies and depends on you.
As for why it is important to understand your cat, doing so can be important to his or her health. We humans are able to speak and seek medical attention when we develop a cold or suffer a debilitating injury. Pets, on the other hand, cannot do so. Just because your cat doesn’t outright tell you that she needs to go the vet, it doesn’t mean that a visit isn’t in order.
If you suspect that your cat is suffering from a medical problem, whether it be an injury or an illness, you will want to seek professional help right away. Schedule a visit with your veterinarian. The sooner you do so, the quicker you can understand what is bothering your cat. If you must make your cat’s appointment an emergency appointment, especially if he or she seems to be suffering.

Your Home Business
People decide to open their own home business for many reasons. You may want to spend more time with your family, be your own boss, or make more money than a 9 to 5 job can offer. In a job that has you working for others, your entire work life and sometimes your home life is strictly scheduled for you. From the time you begin and end work, to breaks, vacation and pay, you have very little control.
However, in your own home business it can be hard to suddenly have complete control over everything and no one to lean on. Over time we gather habits, be they good or bad. When it comes to your home business, you have to figure out the bad ones and break yourself from doing them if you want to succeed.
Before you get the home business off the ground make sure that everything is in place. This means setting aside special hours in the day to do the most important activities. Remember that you will need to make contact with clients, banks and other businesses and most of this has to be done during the day and usually no later than 5pm. Prevent exhaustion by following the plans you laid out so that you don’t overwork yourself.
Business continues to move forward so you will have to constantly update yourself when new business ideals are put on the market. You can take classes or teach yourself over the internet, but stay ahead of the pack by knowing everything you can because it will help you to better develop your business.
A good way to break bad habits that can have adverse affects on your business is to write them down on paper whenever you discover a new one. Once you know the habits that are holding you back, you can implement different steps that can help you to overcome these habits.

VITAMIN MYTHS
When checking out facts about Vitamin B, it is important to be able to differentiate between what information is an actual fact, and what is simply a myth. Unfortunately, there are myths about just about everything, so any information learned on any topic should always be evaluated before deciding whether or not it is true. There are many myths about vitamins and supplements in circulation today. Some vitamins, such as vitamin D, have many myths attributed to their use. Others, such as vitamin A, do not have any at all. The following sections will break down the myths about specific vitamins.
VITAMIN B
A common rumor is that the B complex vitamins, including Folic acid will reduce the risk of heart disease in women who are prone to heart problems. This theory has been tested, and is proven to be false. Studies show that women who took B complex vitamins and Folic acid were no less likely to have heart problems than women who did not consume these supplements.
Some say that Vitamin B-1, which is also called thiamine, helps with the growth of hair at the roots. You will even hear that the hair will not grow properly without this vitamin. Some rumors are even passed around that claim Vitamin B-1 assists with the root development of plants as well. This is certainly not the case, as there are no scientific studies to back up such claims. Another version of this rumor is that taking Vitamin B-1 helps to reduce transplant shock for either people who are receiving new organs, or plants that are being moved. Again, this is not at all the case.
