LG VX 9800 for Verizon More Than a Cell Phone

Gepost door admin op 27/05/2008

Hi-tech gadgets are getting smaller and smarter.The LG VX9800 for Verizon is grabbing alot of people’s attention these days and it is becoming increasingly more popular.The success behind this LG phone is because of it’s unique conceptual and functional design.Even Time Online questions if it is a phone, “or a tiny, but surprisingly loud, boombox?”
Good question, just what is it?

Besides functioning as a phone, camera, MP3 player, and PDA because of it’s QWERTY keyboard, the LG VX 9800 features a Mini SD memory card slot so it is somewhat of a miniature communications center. In my opinion, this LG phone isn’t a smartphone on par with a Treo 650 but it certainly is a tremendously versatile multimedia phone.

The major innovation with LG VX9800 is the VCAST. So if you are commuting by train or bus to work, now you have what you have always dreamed about- just ‘flip’ open the cover of the LG VX 9800 and enjoy your favorite entertainment with the richness of broadband crystal clear on a 65,000-color screen (128 x 160 pixel resolution)in stereo.

At first glance, even though its obviously not a laptop, LG 9800 kind of resembles one. I’ve seen it categorized as a flip phone which certainly doesn’t do it justice. What we have here is more than a typical flip style phone.LG and Verizon have combined to bring us a super multimedia entertainment phone that is already making an important conceptual change in cell phone development.

Media Relations: Making Your Story More Newsworthy

Gepost door admin op 14/05/2008
Toegevoegd onder: Plugging Things

During my career as the head of media relations for the world’s second largest environmental group, I regularly heard a common refrain from the scientists who so desperately wanted press attention for their projects. “But my project is so important,” they’d say, expecting that was enough to crack the evening news.

The truth is, there is often a big difference between what journalists consider “important” and what they consider “newsworthy.” When pitching a story to reporters, make sure it has both elements. An “important” story without a timely “news peg” is unlikely to get much coverage.

For example, roughly 35 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The magnitude of the health crisis on that continent cannot be overstated, and no news editor would likely dub the story unimportant.

But why would that story be on the evening news today? The crisis is as bad today as it was yesterday, and it will likely be just as bad tomorrow as it is today. In order for it to make news again, something has to happen to advance the story.

For example, if the American president announced a new, $1.5 billion aid package designed to help African children orphaned by parents with AIDS, that is news. Suddenly, the magnitude of the crisis finds its way back onto the front pages and into the lead segments of news broadcasts.

How can you make a story more newsworthy? Here are three ideas you can use for your story - the more of these you can use, the more likely you’ll be to receive press coverage.

1) Announce Something New — Since the word “news” contains the word “new,” it’s always a good idea to announce something that’s never been announced before. Perhaps it’s a new product, a new piece of research, a new piece of legislation, etc.

2) Contains an Extreme — Reporters love anything that represents the first, last, best, worst, biggest, smallest, greatest, etc. If you are releasing the first report of its kind, say so. If your new product is the smallest microwave oven ever produced, put it in the headline.

3) Counterintuitive is Good — Reporters love stories that make the reader do a double take and say, “What did that say?” If your story runs counter to everything we think we know, it’s going to get noticed. For example, if new research concludes that dumping toxic waste in a pond actually helps the fish population, the press will be on the phone with you almost instantly.

Placemat Ads Advertising

Starting a placemat ad business can create more business for
you; free advertising and income all while helping other local
small businesses advertise their business all at a reasonable
price.

This is an idea not new by any means, but it can prove to be
very profitable to you if done right. After you have your
clients lined up, you will target small local diner’s, many will
jump at the chance especially when you explain it is “free” it
is key to stay away from large establishments like McDonalds or
Burger King since the franchise probably supplies the placemats
they use.

We all have seen placemats with ads of business offers
discounts, coupons or just an announcement that they are around.
Many of these ads have games, pictures for kids to color, word
find puzzles and more.

Placement ads can be the right vehicle that allows you to
advertise your business without paying for all the cost to do
it. Here is what you do; go around to local businesses like the
pizza shop, new laundromat, auto body shops, new area businesses
etc.

You can call around or visit these businesses offering ad space
on the new Jonas Placemat Ads give them the best price, target
8-10 businesses the first time around offer them an introductory
price, one that will you costs for printing, and mileage and
other related costs for getting the placemat ads made.

Try to get these businesses to offer a coupon like ad customers
love these type of ads, plus it will get them reading the ads as
they are waiting for their meals to be made don’t forget to make
it fun for the kids as well, remember many of these ads are
targeted for kids, you can add a twist by adding the ads of
local business as well.

Remember to leave at least two slots empty for your ad and one
for the printer so that you can negotiate the price for the
absolute lowest you can get.

It may be a good idea to offer the printer the free ad space on
each printing as long as he is willing to give you the absolute
lowest and best price. If this does not work with you on this
shop around someone will be willing to take you up on this offer
it can be a win-win situation for both of you.

You can start with 2,000-3,000 at first make sure you make it
clear to your clients that the price they are buying the
advertising at is only an introductory price of $59.95, so when
you follow up with them in a few weeks or month or two later
they are aware that the cost is up a little because it was the
introductory price. Going up $10.00-$20.00 dollars may not seem
so bad especially when you explain that they could not get such
a wide audience at this low of a price elsewhere.

Try to keep the cost under $99, this is sure to be hit, also if
you can fit somewhere on the ads that in order to get the
discount offered you must bring in the ad. This will also show
as proof the business owner or manager that it is in fact
working. This may also be a key factor in getting them to re-new
advertising with you in a month or two on follow-up.

The key here is you to get out of the deal 1) free advertising
for your business and 2) the printing costs (at least a large
part) paid for by your clients who have buy the ad in your new
Jonas Placemat Ads service.

In conclusion, as you can see just from some of the ideas
presented here this could be something that could be very
profitable for you plus the possibility of a new side business
for you. While creating a vehicle for you to advertise your
business for free. It is key to keep it at a reasonable price
(under $99) so that other business will be happy to give it a
try.

Seven Ways to Jump Start Your New Website

Gepost door admin op 20/03/2008
Toegevoegd onder: Plugging Things

You’ve just got a new website and it looks beautiful, but unless you take some active steps to promote it, it will just sit there like a new car without any gas and empty tires.

If you are not sure where to begin, here are seven steps that are free or inexpensive. All of them will help you to get your new website rolling.

1. Tell Your Friends - Often we are thinking about reaching the unknown millions of people out there surfing the Internet, but we are forgetting the hundreds of people who we already know. Look at your e-mail address book and get the word out, tell your business contacts, friends, relatives and tel them to tell their friends too. Send an e-mail to all the people who made inquiries or bought products or services from you in the last year.

2. Link to Your Own Site - Once again we are often thinking about getting some unknown people to make a link to our websites and we are forgetting possibilities that are nearby. If you already have one website, make sure that this site is linking to your new site. A website without any incoming links to it will have a very low page ranking in the all-important Google search engine and will face an uphill battle to be seen in Google search results, especially if you are in a very competitive category.

Even when your site is in the construction stage you, or even your web designer can link to the new site from another already well-established site, mentioning that the new site is under construction. If you already have several sites, then link them to your infant site. It will help the new site to be seen in competitive search engine listings even in its debut period.

3. Get a paid inclusion in one of the big search engines. It takes 4-6 weeks to get listed in Google, and other search engines are equally slow. However there are a few fairly important search engines that have inexpensive express inclusion programs. If you join these programs, then your site will be listed in 48 hours. Inktomi, which provides results for MSN and 100 other search services, has an inclusion program which costs $39 for the first URL that you submit, and subsequent ones cost $25. The value of the Inktomi submission is that they revisit your URL every 48 hours and if you make changes on the page you can see the results in the MSN listings very quickly. Thus, you can tweak your pages and see how it affects your position.

Similarly there are paid inclusion systems for Teoma (which feeds the popular Ask Jeeves Search Engine), Alta Vista, and Lycos.

4.Add your site to the Open Web Directory and the major search engines. Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to search engine submission. Forget about the sales hype that tells you to add your URL to 300, 000 search engines. Only a few search engines and directories provide the lion’s share of Internet traffic. If your site is in good shape, no longer under construction, then go to www.dmoz.org. This is the Open Web Directory. Find the category where your site fits, and make a submission. If you are accepted here your site will appear in the many search engines and local directories that use the results from the Open Web Directory. Inclusion in this directory usually takes time but it will help you a lot. Similarly submit your site to Google, Alta Vista and All The Web, these are the remaining giants where you can submit for free.

5. Start a reciprocal links campaign - Once you have given yourself a link from your other sites or from your designer’s page, you can go out and ask other complementary sites for links. As I mentioned, these incoming links will help your page rank in searches but they will also generate traffic. If you can find specialized sites or directories dealing with your particular product or service, then a link on one of these sites can provide a large amount of targeted traffic.

6.Write an article about your product or service - If you have a website the chances are that you are an expert in the field that your site is all about. Write an article about your product or service, or write an article related to the subject matter of your site. Submit the article online to various websites and e-mail lists dealing with your topic. The publication of your article in a big e-zine, or on a popular web site can get your new site off to a roaring start.

7. Promote Your Site Off-line - Now that you have a site, put the URL on your stationary, on your cars and trucks, in your brochures, business cards, your newspaper and TV advertising, and circulars. You can also put it on hats, t-shirts, mugs and other items. The cafepress.com has a program enabling you to put your URL on these items and even sell them online.

If you follow all or some of these steps your new site will definitely receive visitors and within a short period can become an important asset to you.

Buying The Perfect Diamond Ring While Saving $1000’s

Gepost door admin op 06/03/2008
Toegevoegd onder: Plugging Things

Buying a diamond engagement ring can be a risky business! For most of us an engagement ring is the third most expensive purchase we are likely to make, after our home and car. However I can guarantee you know much more about buying a home, or a car than you do about buying a diamond ring! This lack of knowledge opens up the opportunity for dishonest people to take advantage of you.

This generally takes the form of selling you a poor quality diamond ring for a higly inflated price.

How can you avoid the pitfalls?

There are some basic precautions you can take, which will significantly reduce the risk. Some of these include:

Get Educated - Research the subject of buying diamonds, in exactly the same way you would if you were buying a car. There is no substituted for this, and if you are willing to make the effort you can have more knowledge of the subject in 2 hours, than 95% of your fellow consumers.

Buy from a reputable source - Whether you decide to make your purchase online or at a Jewelry store, make sure you have some background on the store. Visit the store and ask the salesman questions to gauge his level of knowledge. I would suggest you avoid the Jewelry districts, simply because the competition is so fierce that it breeds questionable practices and half truths amongst the occupants.

Never buy a diamond without a certificate - Without a certificate you could quite easily buy a piece of glass set into an engagement ring setting and be non the wiser, but up to $5000 poorer. However a certificate alone does not guarantee a better deal, you need to be proficient in understanding exactly what it is telling you, and how each factor that is covered affects the price and quality of the ring.

Understand the 4 C’s of diamonds - Most people know something about the 4 C’s of diamond buying including, Cut, Clarity, Carat and Color. However very few people know how to each of the 4 factors interact to determine the price and quality of a diamond.

If you follow this advice you significantly reduce your chance of being fleeced by a dishonest salesman. Treat your purchase as a significant financial purchase. Set your budget up-front and do not go too much above or below the price you’ve set yourself. Try not to get to emotionally involved in the purchase and the outcome should be favorable.

About The Author

Peter Vine is a researcher for a large consumer magazine, and has spent the last year looking at the diamond industry. The ebook ‘Diamond Ring Secrets’ is the outcome of this research, and shows you the insider secrets of buying a diamond ring while saving $1000’s.

The Benefits of Specific Advertising

Gepost door admin op 16/02/2008
Toegevoegd onder: Plugging Things

The great Claude Hopkins (Author of Scientific Advertising) once said, “Platitudes and generalities roll off the human understanding like water from a duck. They leave no impression whatever.”

To say, “Best in the world,” “Lowest price in existence,” etc. are at best simply claiming the expected. But superlatives of that sort are usually damaging. They suggest looseness of expression, a tendency to exaggerate, a careless truth. They lead readers to discount all the statements that you make.

— A Dog & Pony Show

It’s true that people accept a certain license in ’sales talk.’ A person may say, “Highest quality” without seeming a liar, although you realise other brands are just as good. We expect a sales person to ’sell’ and we excuse some enthusiastic exaggeration. It’s for that reason general statements count for very little. And a person inclined to grand statements and superlatives must expect their claims to meet a healthy dose of scepticism.

However, someone making a specific claim is either telling the truth lying. We know advertisers cannot lie in the best mediums, so a definite statement is usually accepted. Actual figures are not generally discounted. Specific facts, when stated, have their full weight and effect.

— Just The Facts Ma’am

This is very important to consider in written or personal salesmanship. The weight of an argument may often be multiplied by making it specific. Say that one brand of light bulb gives more light than another and you leave some doubt. Say it gives 354% more light and people realize that you have made tests and comparisons.

A dealer may say, “Our prices have been reduced” without creating any marked impression. But when he says, “Our prices have been reduced 27 per cent” they get the full value of their announcement.

— The Pre-emptive Advantage & Specificity

In the old days all beers were advertised as “Pure.” The claim made no impression. The bigger the type used, the bigger the folly. After millions had been spent to impress a platitude, one brewer pictured a plate glass where beer was cooled in filtered air. They pictured a filter of white wood pulp through which every drop was cleared. They told how bottles were washed four times by machinery. They he went down 4,000 feet for pure water. How 1,018 experiments had been made to attain a yeast to give beer that matchless flavour. And how all the yeast was forever made from that adopted mother cell.

Now don’t misunderstand - any brewer might have easily made these claims. They were mere essentials in ordinary brewing. But this one company was the first to tell everyone about them, while the others simply kept repeating the worn out statement “pure beer.” This one brewer made the greatest success that was ever made in beer advertising.

— The Art of Leverage

Remember, one advertising statement may take as much room as another, yet a definite statement is many times more effective. The difference is vast. If a claim is worth making, make it in the most impressive way you possibly can.

All these effects must be studied. ‘Salesmanship-in-print’ can be very expensive. A salesperson’s loose talk matters little when it’s simply one-on-one. However, when you are ‘talking’ to many at great cost, the weight of your advertising claims is important.

Remember, no generality has any weight whatever. It’s like saying, “How do you do?”, when you have no intention of inquiring about one’s health. And specific claims when made in print are taken at their value.

So the next time you are dreaming up adverts and offers for your business - BE SPECIFIC!

Where To Find Cheap Diamond Rings

Gepost door admin op 04/01/2008
Toegevoegd onder: Plugging Things

The Beatles once sang that “money can’t buy me love”. And while the boys may have been right in that regard, the almighty dollar can certainly buy most anything else. Diamond rings are just one of the many luxuries that can be afforded by people with money to burn, and many times these rings can cost thousands of dollars. But what if you are just a hard working average Joe who would like to show his sweetheart that she is appreciated? Not all of us have swelling bank accounts, but thankfully there are places out there where you can buy wonderful cheap diamond rings. And when we say cheap we’re referring to price alone, as these rings are just as beautiful as their higher priced counterparts. In this article, we’ll show you where to find cheap diamond rings that look anything but.

The first place to find cheap diamond rings is at your local mall. The jewelry stores inside most malls are able to offer diamond rings at a discount for a couple of different reasons. First, these chain stores are always able to stay in profit because they experience heavier traffic than a stand alone store. In addition, they have stores all across the country, as opposed to Mom & Pop jewelry stores that are in one city or state. The diamond rings at these stores look almost identical to the more expensive rings. Only a gemologist would truly be able to tell them apart.

Another great place to find cheap diamond rings is at huge retail stores such as Wal-Mart or J.C. Penney’s. These stores have a wide selection of cheap diamond rings at amazing prices. Now, keep in mind that many of these rings will be much smaller than a more expensive ring, but the diamond quality is very similar. You should definitely have some luck in these types of stores.

If you still haven’t found the right cheap diamond ring, why not try a pawn shop? Many times pawn shops will have amazing diamond rings that they are more than willing to sell for a reduced cost. A lot of these rings look great, and the only reason they ended up available was because a person no longer wanted it. In instances like this, their loss can definitely be your gain.

One last suggestion on where to find cheap diamond rings is through the internet. The internet has many great web sites that sell diamond rings at an amazing discount. As long as you use common sense (make sure the business is reputable, has an appraisal service, etc.), you may be able to find a great ring through these online merchants. In addition, auction sites such as ebay regularly offer cheap diamond rings that can be had for virtually nothing. Get in the habit of checking out these sites to see if anything catches your eye.

As you can see, there are plenty of places where you can find cheap diamond rings. Now that you have a few ideas, why not get out there and try to find the woman in your life a little something special? After all, you know she deserves it.
