How Much Does It Cost To Start An Internet Marketing Business?
Dec 5th
When entrepreneurs find out it costs money to start an internet marketing business they are flabbergasted. The whole reason you get a job is to make money, not spend it.Because of this, many people begin to wonder whether it is even possible to start an online business for free.
It is not possible,unfortunately,to start your own business for free. For an extremely low price you can get one up and running. There are just two costs you will face when starting a business; the cost for a domain name and the cost for a hosting company.
The domain name acts as your identity as this is what people put into their browser to find your web site. You want to take the time to find a domain name that has keywords in it that you intent on targeting and a name that is short and sweet. This will make it much easier for internet surfers to remember your domain name.
Domain names are extremely cheap if you look in the right places. There are close to eight million results that come up when you type in cheap domain names into the Google search bar. Some of the top domain companies like GoDaddy.com offer domain names for as low as $1.99.
The other charge you will have with your internet marketing business is a hosting charge. Your hosting company is the company that makes your site live. This is the company that makes it so visitors can come to your site and actually see what you have built.
Much like domain names, hosting is very cheap as well. Some of the cheaper hosting companies include HostMonster, HostGator and GoDaddy.com. HostMonster and HostGator even offer a free domain name with hosting while GoDaddy.com offers hosting for fewer than five dollars.
Outside of your domain name and hosting, there are no other charges you have to worry about. Anything else you decide to pay for is on you. You can opt to pay for advertising, for content writers, or for graphic designers. After all, no one is an expert at everything. Whether you lack the time or the skills to fully develop your internet marketing site on your own, look into hiring professionals to help you out.
You can start an internet marketing business for extremely little investment. You can have a web site up and running and ready to develop for just five dollars.

Big Question: How Much Money Do You Make Selling Avon?
Nov 30th
How are you doing tonight. My name is Landon Stewartt
I am going to answer one of the BIGGEST questions of all today. I have been asked it a thousand times, as I am sure you have as well. Truthfully, you probably have this question lodged in the back of your mind somewhere this very moment.
I would just go ahead and answer this question for you, but I’m sure the suspense is driving you nuts 
Pardon me.
Here she’ is: How much money do you make selling Avon?
That’s the question. Here’s the answer:
Quite simply it depends.
On what you ask?
How you market the dang thing!
Yeah you could go door to door, yeah you could call all your friends and family, yeah you could put fliers on car windows, yeah you could hit up teenagers for cash, yeah you could sell your 8 year old kid brother on the “dream”, or you could do it my way.
It’s up to you. I’m only here to get you making money ASAP.
I apologize I should have asked to make sure that’s what you wanted before I just dove in like that.
Is that want you want? To tap into one of the most wealthy businesses on the face of the planet leveraging the most powerful tool known to mankind?
I’m just going to go ahead and put this on the line. I don’t want any confusion to occur down the road. I am not a member of Avon, and I do not know of anyone that is.
I know network marketing, and I know money making, which is what I think is most important to you anyways.
First things first, we need to get you a wordpress blog.
It’s really pretty simple to get one if you don’t have one already.
Just go up to your search bar (in a new tab), and type in wordpress.org. At that address you will be able to download everything that you might need.
That’s one way to do it. Or you could do it my way. We just have too much information to cover for me to sit here and explain every little detail. I will another time.
You are going to need hostgator hosting. Then simply go to squidoo and type in how to host a wordpress blog with hostgator. A great lens will pop up that will teach you everything that you need to know right there and it’s free of course. (It’s not my own )
Now I am going to teach you a very small yet very powerful strategy to market this thing.
Before you do anything else, you need to go to your wordpress admin. This will be whatever your domain name is like yourdomainname.com/wp-admin. There you can download a plugin called OnlyWire. It’s free to download and will take about an hour to set everything up.
Basically all it is is social bookmarking software that will get you 50 backlinks instantly. Sweet right?
Okay so after you download that and set it up, you need to write a 500 word blog post. Before you start working on that blog post of yours you will need to take about a half of an hour to an hour to work on some keyword research. This is really one of the most important parts of marketing. It’s kind of like the base of a house. If you have a crappy one the house falls apart, if you have crappy keywords the advertising campaign falls apart. If you’re not exactly sure what to do there you might want to just go ahead and do a quick Google search. But make sure you leave this article open. I still have a bunch of KILLER info to share with you. I apologize. I simply don’t have the time to explain right now.
After you write that blog post social bookmark it using only wire. There you go. Fifty brand spanking new backlinks just like that!
Now we are going to have you go to a website called traffic geyser. It’s free for the first month, and it’s something you need to check out here in a couple of minutes.
After you become a member, don’t do anything yet!
Before you start blasting stuff around the web, you need to make a quick video. It should be about 1 to 2 minutes basically explaining the blog post that you just said. It’s kind of like a promotional video. All you have to say is hey what’s up? I’m so-and-so. Go check out my blog! It’s really that simple, and it might take ten minutes to make at most.
Then after you have made the promotional video, you are going to use traffic geysor(the site I mentioned earlier), and you are going to launch that thing all across the net. You are going to send it to 50 different video sharing websites to be exact. You guessed it, that’s fifty more backlinks to your website instantly.
That increases your Google ranking bringing YOU traffic the best way; completely free
Now that is how you sell Avon.
Well that’s half of it at least. That’s one step out of four included inside Landon Stewart’s 7 Day Marketing Challenge. If you want to know
how much money you make selling Avon
the right way, and get thousands of visitors to your blog each and every month check out http://landonsrockstarmarketing.com
How Much, What Cost? Making “Going Green” Pay-Off
Nov 23rd
Companies whose product objectives include reducing costs or waste, more reliable equipment management; improved physical asset control or greater situational awareness should investigate the variety of capabilities wireless sensor systems can provide. In addition to the potential savings in energy, there are likely many additional cash benefits to be found.
With 22% of the globe’s energy consumption, the US is the largest energy consumer and lowest energy producer of any developed economy in the world. The result? It is the most CO2 intensive nation in the world with a daily consumption of 6 gallons of oil per person per day or 19 tons of carbon dioxide per capita annually. This is 80% higher than Europe and 94% higher than Japan.
The greatest sources of US energy expenditure are:
• Industrial Energy 35% (chemicals, steel, processing etc)
• Road transportation is 25%
• Residential energy consumption 21%
• Commercial buildings 16%
Over the next decade, those sectors of the economy driven by consumer demand are the ones which will most rapidly increase greenhouse gases – buildings and houses.
The good news is that there are multiple opportunities to improve upon these areas. For example, the demand for energy could be reduced by 25 to 30% through a series of low cost, high return steps:
• Monitor & control of energy consumption specifically heating and cooling in homes and buildings – Smart Grid
• Replacement of incandescent bulbs with compact florescent lighting
• Equipment replacement, choosing high-efficiency water heaters and Energy StarTM appliances when it’s time for new These seemingly small steps save energy and reward investment with a rapid payback of less than 2 years, although many are immediate and some actually pay for themselves instantaneously.
In fact, according to the McKinsey Report “Reducing U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions: How Much What Cost” 40% of the total options for reducing greenhouse gases do not cost, rather releases money into the economy.
As the recognition not only of the costs of global warming, but also the savings to be realized with replacement and upgrading, become apparent, opportunities abound! There are numerous initiatives and programs supporting environmentally friendly products and solutions which continue to unfold at a breakneck pace. These initiatives are for products designed to be manufactured using greener processes and handled responsibly at the end of their life cycle as well as those specifically designed to aid industries and individuals in reducing their carbon footprint. Products such as Western Digital’s GreenPower hard drives and Seimens hybrid drive system for buses reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions up to 40 percent. Both were developed under green initiatives and are taking their industries by storm.
Green Engineering, what is it?
Clean Energy Act, RoHS & WEEE
WEEE As of August 13, 2005, producers have been required to finance the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of all Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment
RoHS As of July 1 2006 Electrical & Electronic Equipment may no longer be sold in the European Union if it contains any of six banned substance Restriction of Hazardous Substances On March 1 2007 the first phase of Administration on the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products came into effect.
The Climate Control Bill introduced by Representatives Edward Markey (D-Mass.) & Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) in May of 2009 introduced the most recent version of the American Clean Energy & Security Act and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17% below 2005 levels by the year 2020. It would distribute up to 85 percent of pollution permits in a proposed cap-and-trade program.
The Carrot & Stick
Cash & Energy Savings Using Wireless Sensor Networks
Industries everywhere are finding ways to save not only on energy and it’s costs but through the use of wireless networks, in numerous other ways too.
According to Oak Ridge National Laboratories, through the use of wireless sensor networks, savings on energy for motors used in industrial processes could improve efficiency by 20%, resulting in significant cost savings. Wayne Manges said: “With electric motor-driven systems accounting for nearly one-fourth of all electricity consumption in the United States, the potential for savings is huge.”
The Department of Energy’s Industrial Technologies Program works with US industry to improve environmental performance and energy efficiency. The ITP is distributing 15 million to support R&D specifically to improve energy efficiency in industrial processes. Already a number of new wireless sensor products are being developed together with the Department of Energy.
Cost savings with wireless systems are recognized in multiple areas including materials and labor where the cost of running wire in plants ranges between $155 and $3,700 per foot. The typical payback for wired systems is 24 months and less than a quarter of that for a wireless equivalent, only six months. Add in the on-going energy savings and the return on investment decision is very clear.
In a large number of industries, companies are recasting their product lines to implement wireless technologies. “We can’t think of any segment of the industry that isn’t going to be impacted by this,” states Honeywell’s CTO Dan Shiflin.
Wireless sensor networks of all varieties are exploding into our world. There is a massive amount of research & development, from academia to start-ups, pushing to create proverbial “better-faster-cheaper” products. A growing number of products are based on an emerging specification “ZigBee”. A majority of utility companies that have settled on a standard have identified ZigBee as their preference due in main to its inherent security capabilities. Real-time data from wireless sensors networks will enable companies to achieve greater productivity and efficiency by continually improving their processes.
Named BP International’s first Director of Technology & Sensory Networks, for the oil company’s Technology Office, Ken Douglas said “You don’t ask people ‘How would you use ZigBee?’ Because they don’t know, but if you ask them: ‘How would you use information that you can now access for the first time?’ They have to think about it for a bit, but then the ideas just starting pouring out.”
In addition to the benefits of ZigBee’s security layers, the mesh network is highly reliable, flexible and can connect a variety of sensors simultaneously including protocols such as OPC, Modbus and HART.
The technologies for green engineering are not only cost effective, if done right, they are cash positive. When it comes to the design and development of products that are energy efficient and eco-friendly, as well as cost effective, wireless sensor networks make “better faster cheaper” energy saving products. Electronic designs using Zigbee products are making home sensors and energy saving devices a reality.It is less expensive when you get smarter, simpler products with better resource utilization while conserving precious resources.
Engineering…great profession…
“Engineering … it is a great profession. There is the fascination of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realization in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings jobs and homes to men. Then it elevates the standards of living and adds to the comforts of life. That is the engineer’s high privilege.”

How Much you Really Pay for $200 Windows
Nov 21st
The average person driving down the street seeing sign after sign littering the telephone poles promoting $200 windows could only conclude that a new window cost $200. After seeing several signs of different colors and with different phone numbers, all new windows must cost $200. Let’s explore what a $200 window really cost.
A $200 window is a base model that is used to attract price shoppers in order to get a salesperson in their home. Generally the salesperson is honest enough to inform you that the window is a piece of garbage and that a good window will cost at least $400+.
So now let’s assume that the salesman is not honest. Adding Argon gas and a single layer of Low E to meet the energy codes, the price jumps up to more than $300. When the sales person finds that your install is not a “basic install” your price will generally jump another $50-$75 which brings your total to a little under $400. So a $200 window really cost a little under $400.
At this point my article should end, I answered the question correct? Well not really, cheap windows are just cheap windows and are made by companies that make cheap windows. Cheap “vinyl” windows are made of vinyl that is mixed with used plastic.
These windows will always began to fade and discolor, the surface begins to chalk like cheap plastic lawn chairs and the material falls apart. The glass is generally a single strength glass which cracks very easily letting cold air in and creating a hazard. The frames are never sturdy and they will sag due to the weight of the glass this prevents the frames from contacting the weather stripping properly.
The life span of a cheap window is around 3-5 years before they fail. But wait, the sales guy said that they have a lifetime warranty. A warranty is only as good as the company that stands behind the warranty. There are over 600 names brands of windows in the US today, how many can you name? Companies make a ton of money making cheap products and changing their names every few years in order to avoid warranty issues.
To help you put the pieces together, a $200 window is really a $400 replacement window and it will fail in a few years. Once you have replaced the $400 windows, you are at $800 per window.
The question now is how long do you want your windows to last before you need to replace them again? Hopefully you will only want to replace them once in your lifetime. So, how about asking the “$200 window company” for some really good windows?
Let’s take a look at the integrity of a company that sells crappy products. Their marketing is illegal in most areas, they litter telephone poles, place flyers under your windshield and call your home even if you are on the do not call list.
Window companies use what’s called a “bait and switch” tactic where they offer a low price that changes to a higher price once they get into your home. Generally, they haven’t been in business in one area long enough to answer any warranty complaints. Is this the type of company that you want to buy your product from?
You might need to reread this again to understand how a $200 window turned into an $800 window, it’s hard to stomach! If you are going to spend $800 on a window, please only spend it once in your life!

How Much Power Does Your Computer Need
Nov 17th
The power supply is one of the most important components in your personal computer tower, if not the most important. It supplies power to other components in your computer.
Power supplies usually look like metal boxes and their place in computer is at the back of personal computer’s tower.
There are many variations of power supplies. There are stronger ones which are usually used for computers with components that need much power, and there are ones that are not so strong for some older machines. Supplies now go from 300-1400 W. Stronger gaming machines usually require around 500 W, and machines that are used for rendering or modeling/animating in 3D environment programs should use 800-1400 power supplies.
Power supplies can fail to turn on. Your system could randomly reboot itself if your power supply is lacking. When a strong electrical surge hits the power supply it can even destroy the other components in your personal computer.
To see if your power supply is not working you can use the power supply tester, you can buy it because it is really cheap and a good thing to have. You can also open the personal computer’s case to see if there is any physical damage, you can also check cables and connectors because your power supply should be connected to everything inside the computer’s tower. Power supplies are always better when they are stronger than 400 W, it is recommended to have at least 450 W if you use your personal computer for gaming, internet browsing and/or working on some minor things. There are machines that need really strong power supplies like server machines for example and other strong machines that need a lot of coolers to work normally because their sole components need much power and strong coolers waste a lot of energy as well.
You should be careful when you choose your power supply, because there are a lot of companies that create them and some are of a higher quality than others. You should also pay attention on how strong your personal computer is and what kind of power supply it needs. If you alone don’t know what power supply you need, you should take advice from someone that knows, or you could speak with people you are buying your power supply from. It is really risky to take a power supply that is not strong enough. It could even work normally for some time, but then create serious damage to your components at some point.
Power supplies are really sensitive hardware and you should really keep an eye on the dust and smoke, because it could easily gather on the cooler of the power supply and make it stop working, or slower the speed of its fan. That could cause your power supply to overheat and it could make some serious damage to your personal computer. So if you are experienced with computers you could open the power supplies’ case and clean the fan of the cooler. You could use a vacuum cleaner and try to clean the dust in the case of the power supply.
