Introduction
Everyone who sells digital products over the internet is faced with the same problem - how to protect those products from being stolen and shared around. You've probably seen plenty of discussions about internet piracy over the last few years. There are plenty of places on the internet where you can download music, movies and software without paying for them.
These things all affect big companies, so at first glance they might not seem to have any bearing on you, a simple internet marketer.
But the fact is, it's all the same. It doesn't matter if you're a one-person operation selling a simple eBook or two, or a multi-national music conglomerate selling millions of recordings.
Theft is theft.
Fortunately, most internet marketing businesses don't have anywhere near the visibility of these big companies, so you probably aren't going to have to fight piracy on the same scale.
But even so, you probably want to be sure that you're not losing sales because your potential customers are downloading your products for free, whether from your own website or some type of file sharing system.
In this report, we're going to look at a number of ways to protect your downloads, from the most basic level of protection right through to being able to track down who shared your product, so you can ban them as a customer.

What is Social Media?
Social media is certainly the buzz of today, but what is it, how can it benefit you, and why do you really care? Glad you asked. First, let’s stress that if you think social media is a fad that’s going to disappear you couldn’t be further from the truth. Social media is a phenomenon and it’s taking the internet by storm.
Those who were quick to jump on the bandwagon and take the time to understand social media marketing have already taken their businesses miles ahead of the competition. Over the next decade, we can expect social media’s role in marketing and business to grow by leaps and bounds.
So what is social media? By definition (Wikipedia), social media refers to the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue.
So how big is social media? It’s huge! To give you an idea of how huge here are some recent stats.
• There are more than 750 million active users on social networking site Facebook.
• There are more than 156 million blogs.
• There are more than 490 million YouTube videos.

Giveaways are one of the commonest methods marketers are currently using to start building their list.
They aren't as good as they used to be and it takes a while to get a good system working that maximises your results. Whilst I have gained 200 subscribers in a couple of events, some have gained me less than 10.
I have done several hundred in the last two years and these key points are the my conclusions on how to get the most out of these events. My tips are:
1) Don't try to do everything at once - plug in extra bits gradually. This is the key to succeed online. Get things up and running fast and go back later and improve.
2) Use the upgrade offers on a few very select ones which will allow you additional features eg entering more gifts, adding banners, text adverts, and special offers.
3) Use special offers (in most giveaways) As you mentioned you get to know the people who run the best ones after a while. The special offer ideally should be closely related to giveaways - I've seen some really good ones with packs of products and a report on how to use them in giveaways.

Introduction
There is nothing new with dogs barking. Dogs bark. It is part of their normal and natural communication and behavior. Dogs can bark for appropriate and good reasons, such as when strangers approach our house, they hear an odd noise, or they are herding sheep. Most of us want our dogs to be "watch dogs" and alert us to anything unusual.
Humanity in its ways blended with the canine family more that anything in the animal kingdom. History of the two could be traced as early as men first walked the earth. They have been each other’s constant companion. Throughout the years, men and dogs could almost be associated with everything and recently this relationship has come over to an entirely new level.
Dogs are treated more than just pets. They are treated just like family members. When we welcome them into our family, we have to see to it that we welcome them and make their 1st few days not as shocking as possible.
Bear in mind that these are our pets. They have needs but they cannot tell us what it is as they could not speak our language. The most they could do is to bark or whimper to let us know what they feel at the moment.

Video Marketing And Its Advantages
What Is Video Marketing?
Let me explain why video marketing is so important and why you absolutely need to factor a video marketing strategy into your marketing agenda. Businesses are now spending more money advertising online than they are on TV. Over 20 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. Over 1 billion videos are viewed on the popular video sharing website everyday and people now spend more time watching video content online than they spend watching TV.
It's not surprising then that video marketing is the fastest growing area on the web. Nothing else comes close to the effectiveness of this medium as a marketing tool. If you are not promoting your business now using video marketing you are in serious danger of being left behind by your competition.
So what exactly is video marketing and why is it so popular?
At it's simplest level, video marketing involves taking video content and distributing it widely on the Internet in a very focused and very structured way. The popularity of video as a viable marketing strategy is largely due to Google's universal search feature.
Universal search was introduced by Google in 2007. Universal search meant that when you typed your query into Google the results the search engine delivered were not just webpages, but a mix of webpages, photos and video results. Type any search directly into Google and you are likely to find that image and video results rank at the top of the page, often ahead of heavy-weights such as Amazon. This prominent placement of video clips right at the top of Google's search results has contributed to the explosion in video marketing.
Using video to promote your product, brand or service is one extremely low cost way of promoting online. Production costs need not be through the roof. There are many free tools available to help you create video content at zero cost. The popularity of video has exploded over the past year and is only set to grow in the future. No other medium has the global reach you get with video at such a low cost.
