Why You Need A Watch Phone

By Crescenzo Metrapo

There are many thoughts that will go through your mind when you think about the watch phone. It could be about how simple the product is, how easy to use and potentially even how convenient it is.

The watch phone is a great tool as it is likely to save you lots of time and make your life so much easier. When you get out of bed in the morning we all want to check what the time is and then we also want to know if we have any messages on our phone. This is normally a two step process but the watch phone combines these two things and before you know it, you have already saved time.

Although most of us are usually quite good with making sure that our mobile phones are with us all the time, there are days when we just forget them at home. This can make it seem as if our world is going to fall apart and there is almost nothing worse than this feeling. This is not something you need to worry about with the watch phone though.

Stay in touch, stay on schedule - two of the most important aspects of today's extreme lifestyles. We don't have time to waste and we can't miss that important call.

This device affords you the opportunity to move around without having to walk around and hold your mobile phone to your ear all the time. You can enjoy all the benefits of the mobile phone such as calendars and texting, but you don't have to deal with the disadvantages. The main difference between a normal phone and this one is in its size.

Who would have thought that the monstrous phones of yesteryear would eventually end up being the size of a wrist watch?

The watch lets you look at three different times zones at once. So you can check on when is the best time to call colleagues and work contacts if they are situated in other time zones. You would not want to interrupt at an inconvenient time.

In addition, the watch phone lets you keep up to date with all of your tasks and appointments that you have scheduled, through its calendar feature. This means that you won't get confused with dates and that of course you will always be on time for appointments.

It seems as if the practical applications of the watch phone is without end but perhaps the most important aspect is that you can do two things at once. You can be doing all sort of other activities such as driving, playing with the dog, spending time with the kids and you don't have to stop to take a call. This is a great way to communicate and make sure that you on top of everything all the time.

The Beginner's Guide To How DSL Works

By Tammy Lawsone

Most DSL subscribers don't know - and likely won't care - how the technology works. That said, it's worth spending a few minutes to explore the type of equipment involved and how it contributes to delivering fast internet access. Below, we'll take a quick tour through the technology and follow the transmission of data as it makes its way from a server to your computer.

What Is POTS?

A digital subscriber line uses an antiquated infrastructure called POTS, an acronym for "Plain Old Telephone Service." POTS sends and receives voice data through analog signals. These signals travel along the copper wires through a jumble of switches, transmitters, and other equipment. It does so at a frequency of 3400 Hertz.

The key that allows DSL to work on the same infrastructure as your telephone is that the 3400 Hertz frequency range is only what is available for voice data. In reality, the true range of frequencies available on the copper wire is far greater. The extra "space" is what supports the transmission of digital - or non-voice - data (i.e. web pages, video, etc.).

Frequencies And Channels

The digital information is transmitted through the DMT or CAP systems. If it goes through DMT (or, Discrete Multi-tone), the information is split into 247 different channels. If it goes through CAP (or, Carrierless Amplitude/Phase), the information is split across three different frequencies, depending upon the intent. One of those frequencies is specifically for voice data. Another is for moving packets from the customer to a server. The last of the three is allocated for packets traveling from a server to a customer's computer.

Additional Equipment Needed

In order for DSL to work, the connection must have access to two more pieces of equipment. The first is the modem or transceiver. It is located at the customer's residence and functions as the liaison between the user's computer, or local area network, and the digital subscriber line.

The second piece of equipment is the digital subscriber line access multiplexer (more commonly called the DSLAM). The DSLAM is located at the provider's central hub. Its function is to aggregate all of the signals produced or triggered by the provider's customers into a single pipe. That pipe forms the online connection. The DSLAM can also perform the duties of a router as well as handle the assignment of IP addresses to customers.

The DSLAM represents the difference between a DSL connection and cable access. Even though it aggregates all customer data into one pipe, it maintains an exclusive connection for each. Contrast that to a cable connection in which the rate of data transmission is reduced each time a new user joins the network.

Even though DSL uses an older technological infrastructure, many subscribers consider the experience of using it superior to newer technologies.

Can Roller Conveyors Do All This Stuff?

By Simon Stylles

Roller Conveyors have a wide range of applications in industries such as warehousing, assembly lines and 'pick and pack' applications. The Unpowered conveyor is the Gravity Roller conveyor while the Power conveyor is called as the Powered Roller Conveyor which comes in many designs and categories.

The simplest of all conveyors is the Gravity roller conveyors. It is thought that the roller technique was used in the construction of the Pyramids and Stonehenge, amongst other things. While we still use the techniques used by our forefathers, we have refined the system a lot to suit our modern needs.

Roller conveyors are ideal for transporting dry, solid items with a low centre of gravity (e.g. cannot topple) and a flat base, with no protrusions. (e.g. nothing to 'jam' between conveyor rollers). The items will experience a small amount of vibration as they pass from roller to roller.

The kind of items they are not suitable for include Very small objects, or those with an irregular shape, that could jam 'between' conveyor rollers. Also problems occur with items that have a high centre of gravity, or a narrow base, which could topple as they pass from one conveyor roller to the next.

Of course wet, sticky, or semi-solid items such as clay, bread dough, Liquids, powders, aggregates are also unsuitable for roller conveyors. For such kind of materials, Chain Drive rollers are the best option.

Roller Conveyors are affordable and requires very less maintenance. The capital investment required is also negligible as compared to the strength it offers to the industry. They are foolproof with no possibility of an accident or an error. Individual components - such as the rollers - can be easily and cheaply replaced in the event of accidental damage.

Roller beds can be made from plastic, mild steel, galvanized steel, or stainless steel rollers depending on the sort of load and usage you require, and on what environment you wish to operate the machine in. (for outdoor use we would normally recommend galvanized rollers at the very least, for example).

It is usual for a conveyor to be custom-built for a particular application, and hence can be "pre-set" at any desired height or angle of slope. Height adjustment is also possible as well as minor adjustments to the slope angle can also be made. For more sophisticated use they also come with variable angle legs and even telescopic legs.

Gravity Conveyors can be powered with the option of a Line Shaft Drive roller Conveyors when a load needs to be moved against the gravity. This is suitable for loads lighter than 20Kg. These conveyors can also provide accumulation at any point of the conveyor belt without stopping other rollers in the bed. Hence packages can gradually "accumulate" at the end of the conveyor, awaiting human intervention or automatic transfer to another conveyor etc... The drive shaft powers each roller by means of rubberised bands.

Chain Drive Roller Conveyors are used for bulky and loads greater than 20Kg. The principles are the same but, as the name suggests, chains are used to provide a more heavy duty drive mechanism.

Learn Spanish by Learning the Pronunciation of the Letters

By Martha Benitez

You will hopefully find that your favourite Spanish guide or dictionary has a section on pronunciation. If that section is in any way typical, it will deal largely with the pronunciations of individual sounds of the language. It's surely a helpful starting point to consider how to pronounce, say, "the Spanish rolled r" or "the Spanish 'i' vowel" in isolation, or in certain example words. But your strategy for improving your pronunciation also needs to go beyond this letter-by-letter or sound-by-sound approach.

Try not to make the same mistakes that so many people make while learning Spanish. Consider hiring a tutor to work with you so you can learn Spanish quickly and easily. A tutor can correct your diction and you will sound funny at the beginning. Patience and practice will allow you to learn to pronounce the words clearly. Some parents that speak Spanish do not communicate it in front of their children, hoping to force them to become more fluent in English. Studies have been conducted that have revealed that many times one would rather mow the lawn or clean the house than take the time to learn Spanish.

A (ah), B (bay), C (thay), CH (chay),D (day), E (ay), F ('eff-ay), G (Hay), H ('ah-chay), I (ee), J ('Ho-tah), K (kah), L ('ell-ay), LL ('ell-yay), M ('emm-ay), N ('enn-ay), ('enn-yay), O (o), P (pay), Q (koo), R ('airr-ay), S ('ess-ay), T (tay), U (oo), V ('oo-vay), W ('oo-vay-'do-blay), X ('ay-kiss), Y (ee-gre-'ay-gah), Z ('thay-tah). Did you notice three extra letters in the alphabet? The three extra letters are the "CH", the "", and the two els side by side "LL".

Variation: Especially in some parts of Spain, there is some variation to (2): there's a greater tendency towards separate syllables at the beginnings of words (e.g. 'bi..lo.go', though 'bi.lo.go' is also possible), and where one word with definitely separate syllables has an influence on another by analogy. Thus, the word 'v.a' ("road", "route", "way"), always pronounced as two syllables, tends to influence speakers' pronunciation of 'vi.a.ble' ("viable"); 'r.e' ("he/she laughs") tends to influence 'ri.en.do' ("laughing"), whereas on the other hand speakers would generally pronounce 'sien.do' ("being") as two syllables.

One last key to learning to pronounce Spanish correctly is patience. Hopefully you are positive and excited about learning or why are you doing it? Search the Internet for materials that you can help to supplement your reference guide. Free materials are available if you just look around. CDs, DVDs, e-books, and online videos can all augment your hand reference guide that you have created. Practice, practice, and more practice will help you to learn to pronounce Spanish correctly. Master the pronunciations and you will not only speak fluently but you can now help others to do the same!

You are going to be able to speak at a restaurant, at an airport, with new friend, in basically every situation you can think of! So, whether you are interested in learning Spanish for your job, to communicate with neighbors, or if you are planning to travel to a Spanish speaking country, learning a new language online has never been easier!

Discover Used Or Refurbished Furniture For Your Office

By Ingrid Bergemar

For those who have experienced moving into a new office space at some time in their career, you know how disappointing it can be when the office furniture doesn't live up to expectations. Especially if you have come from a neat, clean office space, it can be a big let down to find that your new space is a downgrade in quality.

I recently went through an office move, but fortunately for my company, our new office space had very good quality furniture and workspaces. I was so pleased by the build quality and the design of it that I wanted to find out what kind of furniture it was. It turns out, even more to my surprise, that it was used office furniture. That's right; it was all used, from the office cubicles to the furniture.

It had never occurred to me previously that furniture that was not new could be of such high quality. And I had never known that companies sold it. To my surprise, there are a few businesses out there that do it, and they are right when they say that you cannot tell the difference. In fact, now that I have spent some time working with this used furniture and cubicles, I can say wholeheartedly that it's as good as any I've ever worked with before.

Now to explain a little, used office furniture doesn't look like what you might think. You might draw up images of old fabric, worn work surfaces with marks all over them, and old looking edges and have seen better days. In reality, some of the parts are new and some are used. The important parts that you want clean and neat, such as the fabric and the work surface, are new. It's understandable that you would want at least these components new since they are highly visible and need to look nice.

But the paneling for the office cubicles, along with the trim, is used or remanufactured. The parts that are visible are repainted, usually with environmentally friendly paints so that they look as good as new. So now you've got a cubicle or piece of furniture that looks as good as or better than new, but you made a smart, economical decision by going with used parts.

Price is quite possibly the biggest factor as to why you would buy used or refurbished. If you are still not convinced though, I encourage you to take a trip to the websites of two competitors, one selling used and the other selling new. Notice the price differences, and the similarities in build quality and visual appeal. If you can't tell the difference, your logical choice will be the used or refurbished alternative.

Concerning other furniture components like file accessories or storage bins, you can count on them being new. I really am unaware of a company that would sell those parts used. They will also offer new chairs so you can get maximum functionality out of the most important part of the ensemble.

Since I have worked for a little while with some really quality used office furniture, I think I am a good source on the subject. How can you beat the money savings, the style, the durability, and the overall value of buying used as opposed to new? You can look around, but it would be very difficult.

What Are Roller Conveyors?

By Simon Actone

A conveyor system is used to move materials from one place to the other. These systems are very convenient for transporting bulky objects. These machines are particularly useful for remodelling work where huge amounts of debris need to be removed from inside an existing structure.

A modular design of the conveyor line facilitates carriage of materials round corners and the length and position of the line can be adjusted according to the working area. Conveyors are a reliable, efficient and economical solution for movement of materials to and from a construction site.

The powered roller conveyors are very popular among the common conveyor variants, particularly in the warehousing and logistics industry. They are more robust and durable than belt conveyors and can carry the heaviest of loads. The rollers move on bearings and pre-lubricated bearings minimize maintenance cost to a great extent. Some manufacturers supply this type of low-maintenance bearings.

The rollers used in conveyors are made from mild steel, stainless steel, PVC or aluminum. The Food processing industry uses stainless steel or PVC rollers which are custom designed to spray water, thereby washing the materials being carried. Rollers used in conveyors are of various types:- Gravity rollers High speed or low noise rollers Grooved Rollers Corrosion resistant rollers Chain Driven rollers

There are three main kinds of roller conveyor systems used in the manufacturing and distributing applications and based on its application, the most suitable kind is chosen.

Gravity roller conveyors are non-powered and the rollers are supported on shafts by bearings. These shafts are made of formed or structural punched frames held together with either retaining pins or internal springs. Since the roller conveyor is driven by gravity, the product can be free-wheeled manually (horizontally) or the product can be allowed to fall over a certain distance with a slight decline.

Lineshaft roller conveyors have a single shaft that runs below the rollers for the length of the conveyor frame. A number of spools are on the shaft; one spool for each roller. Rubber o-rings run from spools on the powered shaft to each roller. As electric motor on the shaft is turned on, the rubber o-ring acts as a connecting link between the spool and the roller causing rotation. The rotating of the rollers facilitates the movement of the product along the conveyor.

In pallet roller conveyors sprockets are attached to the ends of thick walled rollers, which connect them to a motor and allow for rotational movement of the rollers. Driven by chain to chain or tangential, or one common chain, drive mechanism, pallet roller conveyors have a fully enclosed side frame and an external shaft mounted motor. Electronically switched "accumulation zones" are a specialty in this type of conveyor system. Additionally different sections of the conveyor can effectively run at different speeds and can run independently of one another.

The Basics of Mortgage Lead

By Matthew Sanz

Whether you are a mortgage broker or loan officer, mortgage leads can be a great mine of new prospects. They can be generated and obtained through various websites where people do searches for mortgages. Here are the basics of a mortgage lead.

Mortgage leads are files that contain information about consumers. These files are valuable to mortgage brokers, loan officers and loan providers because they can use the data in converting the consumers to borrowers. The value of a mortgage lead is based on the probability of its becoming a closed loan.

Mortgage lead generation refers to the process where information on consumers searching for a mortgage loan or are planning to refinance their mortgages are collected and compiled. The data gathered during the mortgage lead generation process typically includes:

- The type of mortgage loan applied for - The purpose of the loan - The amount of the loan being applied for - Contact information

Information in a mortgage lead is usually received through various Internet websites where many consumers are constantly doing searches for home equity loans and second mortgages. When a consumer answers a mortgage ad and fills out questionnaires about himself in response, he becomes a lead. The more information a mortgage lead contains, the more it is considered a valuable lead. There are various types of mortgage leads available on the Internet. They include:

- New home loan mortgage leads - Home improvement mortgage leads - Second mortgage leads - Refinance mortgage leads - Debt consolidation mortgage leads

Be aware of the different information you will have to provide to mortgage lead vendors though. They are:

- The kind of mortgage leads you are looking for - The number of mortgage leads you need - How often you require mortgage leads - The area where you would like your mortgage leads to come from - The file format for your mortgage leads

Mortgage lead is so important that companies want to sell them. Because of this, it can sometimes be difficult for mortgage brokers and loan officers to select a mortgage lead vendor. In order for you to choose the most suitable one, here are a few pointers.

1. Make sure that the lead vendor you select provides and guarantees fresh leads. 2. Opt for a lead vendor that guarantees replacements for all duplicate or invalid leads. 3. Go for a lead provider wherein you can require specific filters to profile your mortgage leads. 4. The company should also provide assurance that the mortgage leads it generates are specifically for your business and are not forwarded to anyone else. 5. Before settling on a mortgage lead vendor, make sure you ask for sample leads that match your needs. This is to ensure that the vendor has the capability to provide you with the leads you need. 6. Choose a company that customizes a marketing campaign that particularly targets the business you are trying to reach. 7. Make sure that the mortgage lead vendor you select offers the best customer service and support you need to ensure that you can attain the highest return on investment.

Create Your Restaurant Menu Cover

By Zack Dobbins

Thinking of starting your very own restaurant? Or have you ever wondered what it is like to design your own restaurant menu cover? This activity is a fun and enjoyable one, as its main goal is to show one?s creativity and uniqueness. But before you decide to design your menu cover, there are some things that you should think about first:

First, you should consider the theme of your restaurant. Do you want a fun, relaxed beach theme? If so, your menu cover should highlight that. Are you going for the elegant, formal type of restaurant, showcasing your best wines for the ultimate fine dining experience? Then make sure that one look at your cover, and your customers will already be treated to that.

Nobody wants a thoughtlessly done cover; if your menu cover shows some detail and is generally attractive, this will give the customers an idea of the careful planning of your restaurant, and that they will expect the same service to be given to them. Though seemingly irrelevant, your restaurant menu cover will actually say a lot to your customers.

Creating a menu cover does not mean you have to put painstaking details; it simply should show a bit of careful planning, a dash of fun, and a lot of creativity. Normally, restaurant menu covers are pretty similar; this is alright for a regular restaurant, but you want to give your customers the idea that your restaurant is different from others. Whether fun or a serious, a menu cover should immediately draw customers in; making them feel comfortable and excited to taste the dishes that you offer.

The usual things you consider in creating your menu cover should be the font and its size, the colours, as well as the graphics or images you want to put. Your menu cover can also be plain, if you want a classic, elegant look. The size of your menu cover depends on the number of dishes you are offering, as well as the images you want to place inside.

Placing pictures inside your menu is a nice idea, as it will give your customers an idea of what the food is like, especially if they have not tried it before, or if they have forgotten what it is. Fun images will show a fun cover and restaurant, while elegant frames will show a classic fine dining restaurant.

Designing menu covers are not unnecessary; it is not a tiring activity for you either. It reflects so much about the owner and the restaurant itself. Also, it can be simple and yet elegant. A cluttered menu cover will only confuse your readers, so do not put in too much information and images.

Whatever design you have in mind, and whatever theme your restaurant has, make sure that designing your menu cover is a fun activity for you, as it should show how unique your restaurant is, and how creative you are. After you have made a nice menu cover, you will see the smiles in your customers? faces!

Salt Lake SEO - All Salt Lake Businesses Should Be Taking Advantage Of Salt Lake Internet Marketing

By Andrew K. Wainwright

They used to say that if you weren't in the Yellow Pages you weren't in business; of course, your local Yellow Pages sales rep will still tell you the same thing. However, times have changed and now its Salt Lake City SEO that businesses in the greater Salt Lake City area can't live without. Now that so much commerce has moved online and consumers use the web more than the phone book for local searches, it's more accurate to say that if you can't be found in a local search online that you're not in business - or won't be for long.

Risks In The Payment Of Documentary Credit.

By Wade Henderson

Documentary credit can be paid in three different forms:

Documentary credit can be paid primarily cash using funds from the issuing bank or a designated financial institution in the country of the exporter. Additionally, it can be done using a legal instrument transferring funds from the issuing bank. It can also be paid using payment overdue at a later time making adjustments to the exchange rates.

In the case of a credit notification, the exporter shall submit the documents to his banker. The latter will then resubmit the documentary credit to the banker of the importer. The payment will be done if the documents provided by the exporter are consistent with those that show where the shipment has been made in the contractual deadlines.

There are a few risks that financial institutions and importers take when using documentary credit.

Documentary credit involves taking a few risks as well. One is the complications that the documents may involve and another is the risk of not receiving a payment.

Let us talk about the first one. Banks may find discrepancies between what was written in the letter of credit, what was actually shipped, and what arrived at the port of entry. The importer too risks receiving products of a lower quality that was originally agreed with the seller. Importers also risks being involved in frauds or in finding errors in the documents.

There is a verification process that the issuer bank will perform in order to know the validity of the shipment and the product. If there is any error, the bank should learn it right there and it assumes the responsibility of verifying that the documents are correct.

There are also risks of non-payment.

The bank is also taking risks because if the buyer fails to deposit the money that will be given to the seller, it is the bank that must comply with the contract. The banks also have the risks of failure in transferring the money from one country to the other when the importer reports insolvency.

If in any case the importer failed to pay the bank, the latter can block the funds before making the payments to the exporter. Therefore, banks need to also plan ahead for any changes in foreign exchange rates.

Hiring Outside Collection Agencies

By JR Rooney

When you find yourself in a situation that may lead to bigger complications down the line, you try to find the fastest and most headache-free solution to the problem. It is always the best way to nip the problem in the bud before it even starts.

The same principle applies when you're dealing with accounts that have lagged on payments, whose checks have bounced, who have totally stopped making their payments and have deemed themselves unreachable and a dozen other scenarios that will surely make your head spin. The role of your credit manager or controller if you have one, at this point, is to decide whether to deal with these problems in-house or pass on these accounts to a debt collection agency that will then be tasked to follow-up and, at best, recover the money owed to your company.

Usually, a collection agency is called upon when you really have an overwhelming problem with your customers' payment backlog. You've already tried resolving the issue using your in-house crew and having them initiate non-threatening appeals to your customers by making phone calls, sending letters and even making personal visits. Or, sometimes, the problem has persisted and you find that your whole business has reached its danger zone and its plight hinges on whether or not you can recover some of the money that you lost. Whatever the case, hiring a collection agency seems to be the best way to deal with the situation.

However, extra care must be exercised when you finally decide to place your past dues with a debt collection agency. You have to remember that hiring a collection agency means that you are turning over a part of your business to someone totally on the outside. First of all, when you choose a debt collection agency you have to be sure that they come highly recommended by someone who has made use of their services and have been highly satisfied with them.

It is just as important that you check with an accrediting organization like that of the Better Business Bureau. This just makes sure that the debt collection agency that you've hired is regulated and subject to a higher power if they fail to deliver on their promise.

Second, when selecting a debt collection agency, you have to consider their technological capacity and equivalent manpower to handle your demands. When you say technological capacity it means that the agency will have the call center in place to handle any communication between your customers and the agency, with reporting to be done on a regular basis to you as the 'mother' company.

You also have to make sure that the agency's staff is trained to represent you as the client and not be seen as a third-party provider. It has been reported that many people are adverse to collection agencies and are more prone to shying away from them which will make it harder for you to go after them.

The agencies experience and customer-related orientation need to be as good as the fees that you'll be paying. You need to negotiate a good compensation package that will take into account all of these conditions mentioned so you'll at least be assured that you're getting your money's worth. It doesn't make sense for you to be paying so much and not getting anything in return.

The Basics of Making Money With AdSense

By Jack Johns John McDanielson

No website is too big or too small to make money with advertisement programs. Though most big advertisement businesses require high amounts of traffic in order to be considered for their service, Google launched an advertising program that lets any legitimate webmaster or blogger make money online, regardless of the amount of traffic their pages generate.

Google's advertising program is one of the best in the world, and is open to anyone who owns and/or runs a legitimate website that provides valuable content. You make a small amount of money every time someone clicks the advertisement -- this doesn't include your clicks, of course, because you aren't allowed to click the ads yourself.

The display for the ad shows advertisements based on the topic of the page or post that the ad is on. Some topics pay more. For example, you'll make more writing about "credit cards" than you would writing about "door knobs."

To sign up for AdSense, one of the most popular advertising programs on the Internet, just check out their website.

Unfortunately, tens of thousands of individuals sign up for AdSense every year thinking they will be able to start their own home business with AdSense. Nearly all of these webmasters fail.

You should have other ways to make money online with your website or blog. AdSense works well with other programs, and usually shouldn't be your primary means of monetization.

Typical conversion rates for AdSense are less than $3 per thousand impressions, meaning a website will need to make at least 33,000 impressions per day before generating $100 per day. Very, very few websites do this.

Of course, affiliate marketing is more more lucrative when it comes to pulling an income from your traffic, with some affiliate sales making literally thousands of times more than average AdSense earnings for that niche.

Tips on Selecting Securing Payment Gateway

By Amy Nutt

Services If you are thinking of getting online to make some money, or putting website online that will generate income and earn some money for you, then you need to know that unless you already have a merchant account, you cannot receive any payments online. While some clients can easily wire you the money before service delivery, many people are gradually perceiving that the internet seems safer as a result of the security measures put in place by many e-commerce companies than sending their hard earned cash to someone who may not even deliver on his promises.

An important component that helps facilitate online payments is the payment gateway. Payment gateway service providers basically stand as the middle point between all financial transactions online. These do not function as banks or merchant accounts by themselves. Instead, they are more about security and validation. Most payment gateway service providers help ensure that the buyer's information is safe by encryption, validates the data, decrypts it and sends to the merchant account. Bottom line, it stands as a security guard decrypting and encrypting the responses between websites and buyer's credit card company or bank.

Payment gateways are important in helping to reduce the rates of fraud online, makes payment online faster. Back in the days when online payment solutions just began, people made payments and had to wait for close to a week before their cards could be verified with the bank -and mind you, one week was fast! Now, you can make an order and have all your identity and data verified within a few seconds. Payments are also smoother and faster as a result of these gateways.

While payment gateways are very important, it is important to know which type suits your needs at a point. This will help you make smart decision and decide on which payment gateway solutions to choose.

Know what Shopping Carts Are compatible with your intended payment gateway. This is very important as you might set up the shopping cart only to find that the payment gateway service you are using isn't compatible with it. Thus, asking for a compilation of all shopping carts compatible with your intended gateway is a smart idea. Also be sure to make your comparisons of the price differences between each and every package. In cases where you do not understand certain aspects of the package, ask questions. Most sales people expect this and do not be forced or pressured into choosing an obviously incompatible package. If you go ahead, you could be entangles in a whole load of problems trying to figure out why your shopping cart isn't recording any sales while you are indeed losing sales and profits.

If your website comes with a shopping cart, ensure that the payment gateway is seamlessly integrated. Most shopping cart vendors often have all these figured out already. But check just to be sure of what you are getting. After setting up the shopping cart, the easiest way to see if it's working is to try buying from yourself. If your transaction goes through smoothly, then you do not have anything to worry about.

Making Money With Spreadshirt?

By Gigi Ukim

There is a chance that you can make some money with Spreadshirt. You should first ask yourself this, "Is it worth it?." To save you some time I am going to say "No."

I have received some payments from Spreadshirt but getting it was much more of a problem that it given me headaches. I wish I had spent my time doing something that was more productive. You should know that there are many people making money off of Spreadshirt however, most people do not.

Lets go through the good and bads. Maybe my experience might help some of you aspiring artists out there looking to turn your talent into cash money.

It may sounds a little easy right? You make a few nice designs, lay back and let the come money rolling in, right? Wrong. It is not as easy as it may sound. Using Spreadshirt sounds good when you think about it but it can turn into a huge mess. Everyone starts off with a standard shop. Here you can upload your designs for an inspection and wait for them to "pass" the regulations.

If you are looking to make any money, you need to learn how to make vector designs. Vector designs are unique designs that can be resized and retain their quality. Raster designs on the other hand get blurry and pixelated when resized. Vector designs need to be inspected in order for the plotting machine to accept the design. And you have to do vector designs saved in .EPS format. Sure you can upload raster designs but they look like crap and they get horribly pixelated when resized. Oh, and you are only allowed to use 3 colors for your vector designs. Black and white counts as colors too. You can quickly see how your artistic vision gets limited quickly.

After creating a vector design using 3 colors and exporting it into .eps, you have to upload. Then the waiting game begins. You find out that your design was rejected because the machine would not accept it. Some of your lines or curves come too close to one another, or that they are too sharp of an angle for the plotting machine to cut. This would get you irritated fast. After a couple of changes and re-uploading, you design might be accepted. If it is then that is great. After that you can put your design on products, like t-shirts or mouse pads, and publish them to your shop. You can also have the option of publishing your design on the Spreadshirt Marketplace where it is pretty much a huge mess. Another annoying thing that you might encounter is that there is a limit on the designs you can upload. To get around this you have to "upgrade" your account to get unlimited design uploads and a designer shop. The designer shop will seems cool at first, but it's pretty much useless. It is a gimmick in my oppinion.

When you get your shop set up, you now have to promote it. Meta tags and optimizing can only do so much. Google adwords can get expensive fast and after spending some money on adwords I quickly realize that I was selling more from the marketplace, or rather other shops than my own. This made me realize that the upgrade was a waste of money. The best advantage of the upgrade is that I suggest you have your designs ready, buy 1 month of the upgrade and upload your designs all at once. If I had to do it all over again, I would have left my designs on the marketplace and left it at that. Hopefully, the designs do sell themselves and aspiring shop owners will use your design in their shops.

I consider myself an above average user and Spreadshirts admits that most shops that get started fail because of poor designs, layout, etc. Considering that I made some money with Spreadshirt I can not really say that it was a complete failure. I do however value my time and in all honesty, I believe Spreadshirt is a complete waste of time. If you are thinking about making money with Spreadshirt, please think realistic. To get anywhere, you will need to invest time and energy, a lot of it. It is best to consider current events and trends. Right now we are in a crippling economy. People are going to tend to save and downsize. Spreadshirt is a luxury. I am sure everyone at Spreadshirt are hurting, even the ones at the top.

This is my personal experience and your's may vary. However, you must be rational about it if you decide to start a Spreadshirt.

By Daniel Stevens

You have heard the stories of people making an incredible amount of money online. Sometimes its a little hard to believe. But the stories are true.

When you investigated further, you were amazed to discover these were not the online versions of Donald Trump. Usually, these folks whore pulling in all this cash are just regular people. People just like you and me. Average folks.

Then it hits you " you can do this too. You can make money online too. And all you have to do is create a simple ebook and start selling it on Clickbank.

So far so good. But here is where the wheels come off the money-making bus for most people

Because you hear so much about making money with ebooks, aspiring online marketers often start working on their ebooks immediately. Eventually they finish the ebook, create a sales page and start driving traffic to their site " at which point they get an unpleasant surprise

No one wants to buy the product. And so they do not make a dime. Worse yet, all the time and money already poured into the venture are completely wasted.

No one wants to buy the product. And so they do not make a dime. Worse yet, all the time and money already poured into the venture are completely wasted.

Here is the secret to finding out what people want: Simply find out what they are ALREADY buying!

You see, you do not need to reinvent the wheel. You should not guess. And you should not try to force products on people that you think they need (because if they do not also want these products, youll go broke trying to convince people to buy them).

Here is how to find out what people are already buying in three easy steps:

Step 1: Go to Clickbank.com and view the marketplace. Either browse the categories or use their search function to search for niche products. Those products at the top of the search results and categories are the bestsellers.

Step 2: Visit Amazon.com. Next, go to Amazon and run a search for your market keywords (like copywriting or making candles). Those books appearing at the top of the search results are the most popular products in the niche.

Step 3: Run a quick search in Google. Finally, enter those same keywords into Google and see what pops up in the regular search results as well as the sponsored results. What are the top sites in your niche selling?

Once you complete these three simple steps, youll know exactly what your market is already buying. And then all you have to do is make a similar " but better " product! You do that by studying the competition, finding the flaws in their products, and making sure your product does not include those same flaws.

TIP: You find out a products flaws simply by reading and using the product for yourself. But you can also search online for product reviews (check Amazon for starters). If you see customers repeatedly mentioning a weakness of the product, then youll instantly know how to create a better product.

Survival Tactics of Serious Entrepreneurs

By Art Basmajian

Serious entrepreneurs are a dime a dozen these days, and every one of them are making real solid dough by network marketing. But to make that dough, they are doing a tight rope walk, day in and day out, juggling their career, kids, home, and hobbies.

Most of the time, it is pure survival acrobatics.

The life of an internet marketer consists of endless rounds of promotional and motivational pep talk, chasing of prospects, struggling to keep the head above the avalanche of instant messages and emails, keeping ahead of the marketing game, in short doing so many things including, perhaps, counting the chickens before they hatch.

Life for him might look like a circular jogging track from which he cannot find a way outside.

John Alston, who, as a serious entrepreneur, can understand the problems of serious entrepreneurs as much as anyone can ever, says: "For some of us, work is our first love, and for those of us struggling to make our businesses work, there are patient and enduring lovers, spouses and children hanging in there with us. For others there are ex-lovers, ex-spouses and alienated children who can and will testify to what you really value." He wrote this in the Professional Speaker magazine of January.

Practically no arena of life is free of stress and strain. However, an internet marketing job is a different kettle of fish altogether. Whether you are into it full time or part time, an internet marketing job sucks the juice out of your system. What is left of you is more or less unrecognizable to you yourself. In short, you are at the mercy of your pressure-tension potpourri pretty much round the clock.

For most serious entrepreneurs that I have come into contact with, internet marketing is a consummate passion. It is almost like a swelling urge that would choke them if they could not find proper outlets for it. Everything that defines internet marketing, like the freedom to be their own boss, its unlimited moneymaking potentials, and its ever-widening opportunities, define life itself for them.

With all that, they know only too well about the breaks they should take.

Serious entrepreneurs are only too conscious about the fact that though their jobs define life itself for them, life is much more than that as well.

They ensure that they get to spend quality time with their kids and friends and spouses. Serious entrepreneurs would hunt, fish, or scuba dive or whatever it is that stimulates them. Or they may read, paint, or cook, if that is what makes them unwind.

Work, hobbies, family, and social obligations can fit in comfortably into a person's schedule, without each trying to jostle the other out. In fact, the arenas other than work are as much necessary as work itself. Each of these has to be there in the necessary proportions to counterbalance each other and make a man whole.

If you think you have no time, remember the Parkinson's Law "work expands to fill the time available for its completion."

Stop! You'll never get it all done. The things on your to-do list never get completely crossed off. So, take stock and decide what means most to you, what you love to do. And the rest can either be forgotten or outsourced when it comes to your business.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful" said Albert Schweitzer. Serious entrepreneurs can take note.

Managing Workplace Stress

By Carl Garreth Harris

We all feel stress from time to time. It's just part of modern day living. Fortunately not all the stress we find ourselves under will affect our health. But if the level stress does become too great it can affect our physical and mental well being.

Many people can become stressed out at work, and it is something that both employers and employees need to be aware of. It is only natural that there is a degree of stress in the workplace as the company strives to meet production targets and employees battle to gain their bonuses. That kind of workplace stress has an effect on both bosses and workers.

A degree of stress at work may be what is needed to turn a company from a mere going concern into a very successful one. It can also have a detrimental effect as the stress takes its toll on staff, especially key ones. And that is not good for any company trying to make its mark in the modern business world.

It is essential that employers are aware of the effects stress has on their employees and that they take the necessary steps to avoid it. Britain's Health and Safety Executive puts a large part of the onus on employers for avoiding stress on their employees.

Employers should strive to ensure that work practices and organisation within the business are structured to ensure that their employees suffer as little stress as possible.

It is also important that employers make their employees aware that they should be notified if they feel they becoming stressful due to work. Workers should also realise that their employers do have duty of care towards them.

There are laws on the British statute books, such as the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work regulation, passed 18 years later, that place an obligation on employers to ensure the welfare of their employees, including not making them unwell though undue stress in the workplace.

Employees should also play their part by informing their employer when the stress in the workplace becomes too great.

That everyone in the workplace remains both physically and mentally healthy is good business sense. Absenteeism through staff suffering from stress can affect the way a company is able to operate. Any employer forgetting that is not only doing his business a disservice, he risks prosecution for contravention of the various health and safety laws.
