I Lost My Job On April Fools Day & Found a Way to Earn Income & More
Yes, on April Fools day this year, my boss came up to me and stated that my job was no longer needed. I was greatly shocked, especially after nearly 20 years of loyal service to him.
I came down to reality quickly realizing that in a few short sentences, I was no longer able to support my family, provide shelter, pay bills..and look forward to my retirement. I was very depressed as one can imagine. The drive home at 10 AM was not at all common; it felt out of place just as the whole morning had come to pass. The realization that I had enough savings to secure about 60 days of support for all our financial needs was falling short. There were always people coming up, and stating "Mike you need to get ready for any emergencies". The thought was passing, but I had worked devoted to a company that seemed to have no end, so what would ever happen. I had more than enough life insurance to take hold incases of death, yet now how was I going to even pay the premium? WOW, what an eye opener for a reality check.
My wife was home, she was off on Monday. Her normal routine was to what she has done for our 25 years of marriage, clean, shop, take care of her matters at hand. I opened the door, walked in and she stood in the kitchen. She obviously was curious why I was home? The words came out "I was just fired". She quietly went into the living room and I could tell she was upset. Tears came to my eyes, and we talked together. We had no solutions, the same questions came up from my wife, as that had just passed thru my mind on the 30 minute drive home from my employ.
In depression, many things came up in my mind. I could end my life, that would provide for my wife and kids, yet that would be cheating myself, and those who did care and love me. No, I would not take a cheap route out of my situation. It took about a week to get my thoughts cleared enough to really focus on how I would pull out of this temporary set back in my life.
I found and updated my resume, forwarded it electronically to literally hundreds of job sites. In fact, I considered sending out résumé’s out of state that would take me away from my family just so I could provide. There were no hits, emails were full of spam type offers that were not related to what I needed to provide for my family.
There were other options, which one was where could I go to work from home and make an income that would supplement or even surpass my earning from past employ? I started typing on word search thru the internet. I had literally hundreds of hits, sure was going to take some time to wade thru them, yet was determined to find a niche for making money.
It took about 2 weeks and had narrowed my search to one company. EDC came up the choice. The program was easy to afford, even though my income savings were very limited. It could be worked from home at my own hours, and the potential was great. Since my youth, I watch my Dad and how he provided, and sure it may have been tough on him at times, we always had food, and shelter. I was going to survive, I was going to continue to provide everything that my family deserved and that was that.
I made the choice. I went to an EDC Registration site, signed in and all started so very fast. I did not know anything about Internet Marketing period. The concept was completely foreign, as if trying to understand and write a language that I had no idea what it meant. EDC had promises in writing in more than one area about support, and step by step guidance, and more of the same. I went with my gut instinct that I was going to make everyone at EDC come through on that promise. Guess what, they did everything as promised. I received 3 websites, tools, software, capture pages, email response, and so much more, even online live support Monday thru Fridays.
It has been nearly 38 days since I have registered with EDC. I have learned more about marketing, and making websites, and directing traffic to my website than I ever thought I would know. In fact, in past week, I have 7 signed opt in registered people who are looking for supplement income. The money may come quickly, if all 7 sign in paid shortly, will be $7000 in commission to me and my family. I put a counter on my website, and in past 7 days have had over 800 visits to my site. I am amazed, and even if there are no immediate sales, I have learned that there is a way to survive even if one has no experience in a certain field like the internet.
The owners of EDC promise success if you follow their way to make this program work. I do thank Craig and Michael for having this opportunity to learn, and earn with their proven business plan.
Thanks for allowing me to share with you my story.

Choosing Small Business Website Names
I disagree with the comment made by some web developers that all the good domain names are taken. Search engine optimization, or seo, does not depend heavily on the www name you select. For my clients just starting out the decision choosing small business website names has never been an issue. It is a fact that all the 3 character and 4 character domain names with the key extensions are taken. Furthermore, I agree that a vast number of choice domain names are no longer available; however, the selection of a suitable www domain for your small business is possible if you remain flexible.
The real value in the name you choose from a search perspective is how easy it is to spell and remember. Of the two types of visitors to your site, the human visitors and search engines, the ability of a person to remember your domain name and spell it correctly to pass it on to others outweighs any SEO value. Search engines are robots and don't care.
Using words like "greatest", "best", or other exaggerated terms in your domain name is thought by some to be a disadvantage and penalized by search engines. Search algorithms change often and likewise that theory, and although you may not be penalized for using such words, consider the reaction of your human visitors. They may not stick around if they feel you boast without the content to back it up. For a serious small business commercial enterprise, my advice is avoiding adjectives in the domain name entirely.
In some cases new clients approach me to redesign an existing website, and it surprises me that some of the basics are overlooked. For example, a commercial enterprise in business for profit should not select a dot ORG domain simply because the dot COM was taken. This was the case from a conversation with a client interested in a site makeover. Their ORG version was online for two years with little or no backlinks or serious indexing from search engines. The mindset of getting one particular name should be reconsidered especially if it's your first online venture.
Here's a breakdown of the most desirable domain extensions and the usual purpose of each:
COM - Commercial for profit enterprise
INFO - Information only related website
NET - Companies providing internet services
ORG - Non-profit organizations
Certainly there are many more like BIZ, US, WS, and others which are all reasonable choices, but for your commercial small business my recommendation is always acquire a dot COM www domain name. The client mentioned earlier did not realize a dot ORG was intended for a non-commercial enterprise, and they decided the poor website SEO performance was something that justified getting a new dot COM. We easily found an available www domain using their company initials and one key word about their target market which is medical. Despite my advice that they keep the existing site and simply change the theme, they decided to just let it go when it expired.
My commercial site choice was my first and last name, and very unique at that. Using your name is okay, and expected if you're famous. There is, however, little or no value as far as keywords in my www domain to attract visitors, so is that a mistake for search engine optimization? Certainly not. The fact that I have collected more than 100 screenshots of generic phrases relative to my business that made Google page one is evidence the content, not the domain, is key.
Here's some advice to help you when choosing a new dot COM small business website domain name.
Start out with a list of about 10 domain names that you would like to have. Next, make a list of market related single word terms about what you do and the customer base you service. If your market is localized, consider geographical terms that relate to where you sell or provide services. Spend 30 minutes brainstorming to come up with the initial names and additional lists of single word terms. You may want another list of significant initials.
Next, search for "WhoIs" in Google to find free online services that keep a database of available domain names, and follow the link in the search results. Each database has a search box which allows you to input the domain name and extension. Begin with your first choice and work down the list and keep track of available names for review later. It may not be easy, so try combinations of the key terms as you continue to search, and keep in mind you want a domain name that is easy to spell and remember. By the time you're done you should have a half dozen or more available names, so take your time and select the best one, and then register the name immediately.
Tip: The domain name may not be significant for search engine optimization, but the length of your registration can be. My advice is registering domains for 2 years minimum, and 5 to 10 years if that's in your budget. Search engines consider that the length of your registration reflects your commitment to be online long term, so at today's prices 5 years is practical and should cost less than $50 USD.
There's nothing wrong with getting the dot COM domain name you want, and then registering the other major extensions that are available for the same name. If you are highly successful in your online venture, having the other extensions registered in your name prevents others from attempting to take advantage of your reputation by association. In conclusion, the concept that all the good domain names are taken is a myth. You may not get exactly what you want, but practical options are available with a little research and due diligence.

LAY BETTING - HOW TO ALWAYS WIN
Before I write about Lay Betting, let me ask you a few questions. Do you regularly earn loads of money gambling on racehorses ? Do you find it easy to pick the winner of a 12 horse race ? Or, are you like us ordinary mortals, who couldn’t predict the winner of a one horse race ? If you are the latter, what can you do about it ?....Well what you can do is this … (1) Pack up gambling, and let your wife take over the household betting. She’s probably better than you anyway……… OR (2) Have a look at the “ WIN with LOSERS “ horse betting technique that is really catching on, and could perhaps bring you in a few bob. Winning with losers seems a novel idea, and I have been looking into it. The result is this brief write up about horse racing laying, which I hope will be helpful to you, and start you along the path to loads of money. There was great excitement in the horse racing world when BETFAIR first appeared on the scene, just a few short years ago, and announced LAY BETTING for Gamblers ONLINE. Thus ended many years of frustration for millions of Punters, who up until then could only back a horse to win, while the Bookmaker could Lay Bet all of the horses in a race, plus control the prices. It didn’t seem fair, did it ? Suddenly it all changed. Now any Gambler with access to the INTERNET, could bet a horse would win OR lose a race, and even try his hand at offering prices. More on Lay Beting at http://wwwlayyourbetcom.blogspot.com/ All he had to do was go onto Betfair’s Web Site to register, and deposit enough money into his Betfair account to cover any gambling risk he was taking, and he was in business. It all sounded great, and within a very short time along came Lay Betting tips, Lay Bet System Sellers, and Lay Bet Manual Writers, to give Lay Betting its seal of approval. So now we had a new limb added to the gambling body. But is it safe ? In my opinion, laying bets on horse racing is as safe a form of sports gambling as I have seen, provided that it is conducted in a business like manner. As with any proper business, you have to calculate the cost of any risks you want to take. So a little bit of simple arithmetic comes into it. You also have to select suitable horses to Lay Bet. There is a bit of detective work involved, such as discovering what the horse likes, or dislikes, plus its various capabilities, and the weather conditions, all of which will effect the animal’s performance on the day. Timewise, it depends on what you want out of Lay Betting. You can just select one or two horses the evening before a race meeting, and put your bets on before going to work in the morning. Or you can get serious and spend several hours a day selecting your bets, following the racing on your computer or television, and betting with the benefit of having the latest prices and information. If you do this, apart from getting some really good Lay bet results, you may have time to play one or two other systems at the same time. For example, If you have been made redundant, and have a few pound to spare that is looking for an investment, then with care, you may be able to make good use of your spare time and money, and build a second income. How much can you win by Lay Betting horses ? Well, how much do you want to win ? Is it enough to do the occasional bet to earn the cash to finance an evening out at a restaurant ? Or do you want to build a betting bank into a substantial sum of money ? This is mathematically quite possible. You just need a way of betting in which you are mostly right most of the time., and Lay betting may be the solution. There are quite a few people in the horse gambling business who claim to win thousands of pounds a month by Lay Betting horses alone, even to the money becoming a full time income. Let me give you a tip before you go. If you can develop the knack of finding the hidden weaknesses in certain horses, that makes them a bit risky to bet on as winners, you will have lots of good LAY BETS. Then as you build up the percentage of times that you are right, you can reach a situation whereby mathematically you cannot lose. Keep an eye open for my next articles, which explain how. Happy gambling

Online Poetry Communities: 10 Tips to Finding the Right One for You
Online poetry communities, in their simplest sense, are sites you join to share poems and to meet other poets who also share an interest in poetry. However, finding an exceptional poetry site, dedicated to its poets, is not quite that simple. With so many poetry sites out there, how do you choose which one is best for you?
1. Membership Fees: Some poetry communities say they are free, once you join, however, you have to “upgrade†for additional features. Other poetry sites rely on donations, and advertisements. Look for a site that is no more than $35.00 annually.
Bottom Line: Find a site that only charges you ONE fee to use EVERY feature on the site.
2. Site Features: Look for a site that has tons of features, not just a few lame areas of posting and reading poetry. A good rule of thumb is this: For every $2.00 you spend annually, you should find ONE UNIQUE Feature of the site. If you are willing to spend $40.00, then you should get at least 20 UNIQUE Features.
Bottom Line: Find a poetry site that offers as much bang for your buck as possible.
3. Communication System: An online poetry community should be a community. An internal mail system, and an active Bulletin Board—a place where poets share ideas—is a must.
Bottom Line: Find a site that has a few ways poets can communicate.
4. Feedback System: Examine not only HOW you receive feedback, but the QUALITY of that feedback. Will you simply be getting brief comments? Is there a point system in place? Does that point system address areas of analysis that are important to you?
Bottom Line: Find a site that has a quality review system that provides you the feedback you are looking for.
5. Recognition Programs: Most poetry sites function as a fancy bulletin board for posting poetry. A solid poetry site encourages friendly competition, and a way for you to measure your progress. Being able to rise up the ranks, gain recognition from your fellow poets is not only fun, but rewarding.
Bottom Line: Find a site that encourages several recognition programs and poet rankings.
6. Site Layout: A poetry site should be clean, inviting, friendly, and easy to navigate. Many sites are just the opposite: laden with ads, thousands of words, and links that bring you everywhere but where you ought to be.
Bottom Line: Find a site that is clean, fairly devoid of ads, strong linking and ease of organization.
7. Poetry Database: Most online poetry communities lack meaningful poetry research tools. A site that provides its poets with as many links to resources as possible, is one has your best interests at heart. Bottom Line: Find a site that helps you learn poetry forms, movements, history, poets, etc., one stop shopping if you will.
8. Awards: Poor sites have either no award system, or a poor awards system. Quality sites invest in their members. Would you rather win a quality award, or receive certificates, magnets and bumper stickers in the mail?
Bottom Line: Find a site that is dedicated to giving back to its community in the form of quality, timely awards.
9. Support: So often I hear poets lament the fact that “no one seems to be behind the wheel.†A quality site responds promptly to its members, usually less than 48 hours. Send a trial email, see how long it takes to hear back.
Bottom Line: Find a site that responds to your concerns, questions, or suggestions within 48 hours.
10. Free Trial: Avoid any poetry site that does not give you AT LEAST a 7 day free trial. You should be able to access ALL the site features, not just a few teasers.
Bottom Line: Find a site that allows you a generous, all access FREE TRIAL, so you can fully understand its community.
Finding the right online poetry community doesn’t have to be difficult. If you asked me what ONE thing I would look for it is this: The more features a poetry site offers its poets, the more likely your experience is going to be a great one.

9. Support: So often I hear poets lament the fact that “no one seems to be behind the wheel.†A quality site responds promptly to its members, usually less than 48 hours. Send a trial email, see how long it takes to hear back.
Bottom Line: Find a site that responds to your concerns, questions, or suggestions within 48 hours.
10. Free Trial: Avoid any poetry site that does not give you AT LEAST a 7 day free trial. You should be able to access ALL the site features, not just a few teasers.
Bottom Line: Find a site that allows you a generous, all access FREE TRIAL, so you can fully understand its community.
Finding the right online poetry community doesn’t have to be difficult. If you asked me what ONE thing I would look for it is this: The more features a poetry site offers its poets, the more likely your experience is going to be a great one.

Anybody could own a web site. Anybody could up sell their own products and services to their target audience. Anyone could try to promote their web site with a low cost.

But for those people who need assistance, who does not have the patience to promote their own product and services, and lacks knowledge to properly advertise themselves, here are some guidelines to help you achieve success with a low cost web site promotion.
Search Engine Submission and Ranking are the two basic parts to a low cost web site promotion. Both of the parts have the same effect on the market of the web site – for your products and services presented in your web site catches the people’s attention.
The first inexpensive method of web site promotion is the search engine submission. This first part is the act filing information and submitting your web site to search engines. There are two types of Search engine submission – manual and automatic. For a low cost and effective web site promotion, automatic submission is ideal because after filling up the information, a software program would forward this information to other search engines.
The second money-saving web site promotion is ranking. This refers to the numerical position in which your web site appears on a search engine, based upon the web site’s criteria.

The leading web sites on this order would eventually fulfill a low cost web site promotion.
Other types of inexpensive web site promotion you could use to boost up traffic on your web site are banner advertising, classified ads, text links and section sponsorship. Banner advertisements pop up above and below web pages, and sometimes in another window. Text links and section sponsorship may cost more, but these methods helps in promoting to your specified target audience. It wouldn’t harm your web site to try these methods.
Always remember that the effects of your not so costly web site promotion hits are increasing significantly each day. Don’t waste time; find an effective and affordable web site promotion of your choice today. http://www.onlinemarketingstrategies.info

What Causes Disease?
This is a question that many doctors and medical researcher are searching for in their science laboratories and research centers. Every field thinks that they have discovered the cause of disease. And, indeed cause of a disease has many steps and its important not to explain the cause of disease at an intermediate step. I want to tell you a secret that not many people in the medical industry and alternative medicine community know or don't talk about. And this is about the real cause of disease. And if you ever want to really do something about your health, this is where you have to go to stop disease. What I am about to tell you will only be believed by a few people. For those of you who believe and take action will, you will literally extend your life beyond belief. We are all taught to believe that by taking some drug, herb, vitamin, mineral, or special combination of natural products that this will cure our disease. Yes, I teach that many products can help to relieve specific symptoms and that they help to balance your body systems. And, of course, you need to take vitamins and minerals to supplement your diet to make sure your body has a surplus of the building blocks needed to keep you healthy. Doctors tell you that if you have a disease of any kind they have a drug that you should take if you want to eliminate that disease. Any time you use a drug or natural product to eliminate a symptom or a condition you are not curing your disease. You can see this in the many people who use these products and later die of that same disease or of some other disease caused by the drug. What you are doing is suppressing the cause of the symptom, which will later cause another symptom in another area of your body. The result is you are constantly fighting and trying to eliminate different unhealthy condition in and on your body. The cause of most diseases is changes in the cellular instructions that tell the cell what it needs to do to survive in the conditions that surround it. Cellular instructions are part of the genetic code that you get during your development in the womb and during your childhood. As you begin to develop and grow, you must adapt to the conditions and environment around you. To do this, your cells get new instructions on what you need to do to survive in this environment, whether it is in the womb or during your childhood. If you had a traumatic period in the womb, during birth, or during childhood, these experiences are imprinted into your cell structure distorting and changing your cellular instructions. These new instructions cause cellular malfunction, which lead to the start of a disease. The imprinted experience is a source of energy that constantly maintains the distorted cellular instructions, which causes disease and also distorts your behavior and personality. Because a disease is caused by the traumatic energy imprinted into your cells, you will always have this disease no matter how many drugs or natural remedies you use. Drugs and natural remedies create a force that opposes the un-natural energies created by your cells and has the effect of temporarily reducing the symptoms or disease you are dealing with. So, the only way that you can really cure yourself of disease is by eliminating the distorted, un-natural cellular instructions. This is no easy job and cells will resist because they know that the imprinted traumatic energy was put there as a matter of survival. The Psychotherapy Industry has had tremendous growth because of the promise it holds to you that it can change who you are and at the same time improve your health. It is only through some Psychotherapy that you can change the strength of the energy that is imprinted in your cells. Once the strength of the imprinted traumatic energy is reduce, you can expect to see changes in diseases that you have, provided that they have not damaged your body a point of disrepair.
