Work From Home Tips #2 - Make 'Work Time

By Steve Mitchell

How will you squeeze work-from-home time into your day already packed full of stuff? One of the first things is to identify as best you can, how much time you can give over to your 'home business', then create a work plan, or schedule.

First, set some ground rules with yourself, family and friends. Regardless of whatever you home business is, start adopting the attitude you have a 'business at home' and as such you (and those around you) need to respect this. If you have children at home, you are now a 'working father' or 'working mother', even if your office is "home".

One of the first things to set up is your answering-machine. Use your answering machine consistently to screen calls and prevent interruptions. Learn how to say: "Sorry, I have to work!"... because you do.

Next, set 'office hours' - times when you solely focus on your work. You could decide on regular days and times or, if your life is more unpredictable, identify the times when you will be able to do some work, even if these are different every day.

Structure and being consistent with your 'work times' is key and (this bit is vital) when work time comes around, turn your back on other demands. Don't start washing the car, going to the shops, cleaning the house, etc - go to your work space and go to work! You may find it helpful to set exact times so that you carry on working for an allotted time span.

Draw out a week's agenda or calendar as a Work Schedule and be sure to factor in... - times of day you're naturally most productive - times when there are least amount of distractions - other priorities, like time with partner and kids, - consider other draws on time like making time for health and fitness, and of course social time with your partner and family.

Identify right up front what might knock you off your work schedule and be prepared for those factors; possibly build in some spare time to allow for eventualities that you hadn't planned for, which always crop up in life. Think about what factors could prevent you from achieving the work schedule that week, and try and to build in a 'plan B' if they do crop up. Also be realistic with yourself. If you only have three hours a week to work on your business, then that's what you schedule. Just make the most of that time, and ensure you use every minute in a productive way.

You may be reading this saying "but I can't find any free time?" If that's the case, answer this question honestly to yourself "Which is more important to me - earning an income from home, or all the "other stuff?" Never forget we all have just 24 hours in a day - it's how we each choose to use that time that makes the difference. You need to decide that 'working from home' IS important. I suspect you're filling all your day right now as it is, so If you want work time you'll have to spend less time doing some things, or completely eliminate some activities from your schedule. You won't be the first facing this dilemma - what you need to ask yourself is ... "what am I prepared to give up to give my business time and move it along the road to success?" ...and yes you will have to and cut down on...

...TV-time - aren't there shows you could live without? ...E-mail and Internet surfing - if they are not related to your business. ...Kids' activities - review and consider dropping all but the essential ones (probably some the kids don't enjoy anyway!) ...Shopping - do it one swoop, or order online and have it delivered. ...Cleaning - delegate chores, hire help, create a system

Here are some other terrific ways to free up more time, and just an extra 15 minutes a day can make a big difference: - Practice saying "no" more often - it's hard I know, but it will be an invaluable lesson to getting better control of your time. - If your home role involves doing much of the cooking, then plan menus, prepare food ahead of time and max out your freezer. - Create a regular "Daddy/Mummy Night", when the kids get quality time with their Dad or Mum, while you get to work uninterrupted. - Use a daily/weekly/monthly planner that works for you and your personality (paper, electronic, scraps of paper... just make sure it helps you stay organised). - Schedule regular "work retreats" ...go to a relative's home, or hotel, and work for one or more days without interruption.

For all of us that 'work from home', finding time to work - and sticking to it - is about the most challenging aspect of working from home. It will be an ongoing struggle but the better structured and organised you are, the more likely you are to achieve your weekly work schedule. In the end, it will be clearly worth with everyone in the family benefiting as you enjoy the fruits of your success. Just roll up your sleeves, stay focused and just do it! - 15790

Is serologic testing useful to evaluate immunity to some diseases?
Theoretically, tests that measure antibody response (i.e., serologic titers) may help veterinarians determine the need for revaccination in some cases. Unfortunately, veterinarians cannot be certain that a specific concentration of antibody is always protective or that a lower concentration leaves an animal unprotected. This information has been prepared as a service by the American Veterinary Medical Association.The patterns are intended for private use only. You may not use them for commercial production without licensing. If you want to arrange a licensing agreement, our terms are very reasonable -- email us.

How popular have classic Thunderbirds toys been?
According to "Science Fiction and Fantasy Modeler" magazine correspondent Marc Frattasio, the popularity of "Thunderbirds" in the U.K. is best illustrated by at least one report in the London newspapers around 1990 that a sexual bribe was offered in return for the privilege of purchasing examples of the Matchbox "Thunderbirds" toys which were then in very limited availability in stores.Theoretically, tests that measure antibody response (i.

What are the best Halloween costumes?
Halloween is the spooky night of the spirits.

What Makes MOR Vacations Better Then GRN?

By Mike Pereira

Better is in the eye of the beholder, or the marketer in most cases. There are only so many resorts and so many timeshare properties available to pull inventory from, MOR or Less MOR Vacations and Global Resorts Network are very similar in the product offering. From a pure resort perspective both MOR Vacations and GRN offer their members access to 5000 plus resorts. When you peel back the marketing noise surrounding both companies, there are some real differences however.

One of the most noticeable differences comes in the form of hotweeks. Global Resorts Network offers an overabundance of hotweeks in Asian markets such as Malaysia and Singapore. And this makes sense considering their travel service company was created in Asia and was only introduced to the US more recently for Global resorts Network. In contrast, the hotweeks offered by MOR Vacations appear to be almost solely based in the US, again this makes sense as well since the travel service company was founded in the US. For anyone in other parts of the world there are a few hotweeks here and there for various other countries but both companies lack in international hotweeks. From a pricing perspective MOR Vacations hotweeks begin at $149 and Global Resorts Network hotweeks begin at $298. I wouldn't be surprised to see this change however because Global Resorts Network has been trying to copy as much as they can from MOR Vacations in a struggle to remain relevant. Simple math would dictate who wins here, $149 trumps $289 any time, so the hotweeks winner is MOR Vacations, unless you are interested in the Asian market savings, then in that case you would go with more expensive option.

The price, MOR Vacations has stepped in and set itself apart from the competition by offering a multitude of financing options that GRN affiliates have been requesting for years. GRN has been selling the platinum lifetime membership for $3,000 for a few years, which I believe to be a great price for the value. But one glaring issue has always been that many people requested alternative means of payment of financing and GRN affiliates did not have it to offer. With MOR Vacations these people can not purchase a vacation membership with many different financing options being offered to the consumer. And if the consumer has the money to make the full payment they can purchase the diamond lifetime membership for a price that I slower than the GRN top membership. This has always been one of GRN's glaring flaws, the majority of people that purchase timeshares or vacation memberships etc do so via a form of financing, by not offering that option for so many years they were not opening up the business to retail only sales enough and wound up catering to home business seekers and recruiters only. MOR Vacations affiliates will be able to attack that strategic market much more effectively. To be fair, GRN did announce one new financing option once they realized that MOR Vacations posed a serious threat to their existence, but MOR Vacations still offers many more options. One other key point to note is that both MOR and GRN offer an entry level membership. GRN offers the Gold for $1500 for 3 years and MOR offers the Emerald for $1298 for 5 years. Basic math will tell you which is a better offer. The pricing edge goes to MOR Vacations without a doubt.

The home business opportunity, the compelling home based business opportunity being offered by Global Resorts Network has made many people lots of money courtesy of the perpetual leverage pay plan. The true power of perpetual leverage is that people at the bottom can and do make more money than people at the top. Some of the complaints that were voiced about the compensation plan were geared towards the fact that people just getting into the business were not able to earn commissions on their first sale and someone coming in as a free affiliate would not earn for their first sales. The nature of the business is that many people make 1 or 2 sales and then can't afford to stay in business because they haven't earned any money coming in to fund their future advertising. Unfortunately this has been the case for many people with limited funds, they spend what little they have to line the pockets of their sponsor before they cant afford to stay in business. Now many conscientious sponsors would share their commissions to help their fund their downline, but many of the greedier sponsors out there would not. MOR Vacations utilizes perpetual leverage as well, but has made a few tweaks to assist newer members and has renamed their compensation plan true perpetual leverage. MOR Vacations has alleviated the issue of new affiliate commissions by making sure that every affiliate will make 50% commissions on their first sale and full commissions every sale beyond that. At the time of my writing this Global Resorts Network announced a change to their policy to do the same thing, but again it took a serious competitor to step in to make them finally listen to the requests of their affiliates. Another difference between the two is that MOR Vacations does not charge its affiliates a fee to be an affiliate, whereas Global resorts Network charges $100 a year. The edge here is glaringly apparent MOR Vacations again wins hands down. - 15790

It's Easy To Earn Money As A Clickbank Affiliate.

By Charles McDuffie

A Clickbank affiliate is someone who promotes any of the 10,000 digital products available in Clickbanks marketplace. Earning excellent commissions by selling other people's products, is exactly how thousands of people achieve their dreams of financial independence, and there's no reason why you can't do the same. If you've been on the Internet for any length of time, you probably noticed the numerous opportunities, offers and programs available for you to earn extra money by simply selling someone else's product or service. This is affiliate marketing at the core.

It's Easy To Join And Sell Products Online.

It's very simple to become an affiliate, and the entire process is quite easy. As an affiliate, you won't need to be concerned about dealing directly with customers, processing refunds, shipping, collecting payments, or any of the other hassles that traditional "brick and mortar" businesses have to deal with. You're only task as an affiliate, would be to simply send interested parties to your replicated website, and let it do the work selling the product or service for you, while you get the credit in the form of huge commission checks.

After you've become an affiliate, there'll usually be some kind of arrangement between you and the merchant as to exactly how much of a commission you'll receive as a result of making sales. It could be a certain percentage, or maybe a flat-rate amount. It all depends upon the merchant and whatever the product or service is. But realize this, you won't have to spend any of your own time, effort and money putting together a product that might not sell. Someone else has already done the legwork for you, now all you have to do is simply begin promoting the product or service in the best way you see fit.

What Makes It All Work So Well?

Identifying you as the one who receives all the credit for sales made, is the function of your affiliate I.D. This is an extremely important piece of information that shouldn't be taken lightly. You should make certain that you receive everything you're entitled to, and commission checks are no different. After you've chosen a particular product you want to market, make certain your affiliate I.D. (which is embedded within your affiliate link to your replicated website) works as well as it should. There are numerous means by which you can utilize your affiliate link to drive targeted traffic to your site, such as an e-mail signature file, participating in forums, etc.

The actual process is simple, but the real thing is how to get products that sell, and how to attract potential customers. If you fail to attract considerable traffic to the site, you won't earn much; it won't be worth it. So, it's essential that you must be aware of the affiliate marketing tools that clickbank offers. These tools include online banners and advertisements. You can make use of the free directories; write weblogs, as these are the latest marketing tools available online.

Driving highly targeted traffic to your replicated website, is your primary goal as a Clickbank affiliate. There are a number of ways you can accomplish this, but however you do it, you must be sure to instill a sense of urgency in any and all your advertising efforts to motivate interested parties to click on your affiliate link and visit your website ASAP. - 15790

Search Engine Optimization Tips for Video Content (Video SEO)

By Mark Robertson

Online video and video search is HOT! You have surely seen all the buzz on the internet about sites like youtube, blinkx, etc... With this, bloggers have been writing posts about how to shoot video, how to upload videos to these sites, etc... However, few have provided information on how to get these videos seen and discovered. Here enters Video SEO.

In order to successfully optimize your videos for search engines, it is important that you have some knowledge regarding the various aspects of search as well as the difference in techniques with regard to video.

Keyword research is important for Video search engine optimization. However, there are some key differences in terms of the methods that should be employed for keyword researching video terms. In order to know your target audience for seeing your videos, it is important to first conduct some research on keywords and compile a keyword list. This list can be obtained by doing some simple searches for a related product or service. There are not yet any keyword research tools specifically for video. Keep in mind that video searches at this point tend to be shorter keywords, not "long tail" searches. In addition, more than anything, your keyword list should have the word "video" in it. Examples - car videos, car video, racing video, automotive videos, etc....

So, after you have completed your keyword research, I would also suggest that you take an inventory of the various video search websites. In other words, take note of which sites have the highest traffic, which channels and categories are the most popular, etc... You will likely want to submit your video to as many sites as you can but it will certainly be important to get your video on the more popular search engines as well.

You should also keep a track of the audience already searching for your targeted terms. In case you fail to find the same, find the closest related terms being searched. In video search engine optimization user feedback plays a very vital role.

You will want to encourage readers to submit feedback as studies show that users who provide feedback tend to be more active and easier to convert. In other words, those users that provide feedback, typically are more likely to call, email, visit your site, etc...

It is much easier to get your video optimized and seen on search engine results pages when you are choosing a theme that does not already exist in mass. Dont make the mistake of creating videos that repeat videos already out there. Instead, choose fresh ideas and find a "content space" for your theme/keyword.

Nobody is interested in watching long and boring videos. Shoot or create short clips from your longer version of the video. This will make your video more interesting and crispier. People usually like to watch short clips online ranging from 1-3 minutes, as they are short and takes less time to download.

With video SEO, it is also important to take advantage of the ability to brand your video using watermarks, logos, text, or any additional information that will get users back to your main destination. That is the beauty of video search engine optimization. It does and will drive traffic back to your website or business.

Therefore, in order to get more visibility for your business, website, etc... search engine optimization for video is an excellent, and fairly new concept that you can take advantage of right now, while the buzz is hot. - 15790

Squidoo Marketing - 3 Techniques On Squidoo

By Jane Kozlinski

A powerful web 2.0 website is getting the attention of Internet marketers from around the world now that they realize they can promote stuff and build their brands using the site.

Succeeding on Squidoo requires more than slapping up a web page using their handy drag and drop widgets. To be successful, marketers are required to connect with other users at Squidoo, and start building up links to and from the lenses they create. Linking to the lenses from outside Squidoo is also important.

To get you started, here are 3 quick ways to use Squidoo to increase your traffic and website income:

1. Be active on the Squidoo forums. The forums let you meet and chat with other Squidoo lensmasters, and by being nice and helpful, you can build up a network of other users who help you build your rankings for your lenses, and even bookmark your pages on other social bookmarking sites. You can even befriend advanced forum members called Squid Angels, and have them bless your web pages, and get yourself higher rankings and more traffic.

2. The Squidoo Groups - these groups are collections of one or more lenses, categorized in some way, and you can join some related groups and become active on that page by leaving comments, answering polls and voting on things. When you get your lens listed in other groups, or even your own groups, it creates more links back to your lens, and thus generates higher rankings and more website traffic.

3. Be active on other related Squidoo lenses - read their lens content, and post relevant useful comments with a link back to your lens. Don't just leave a "visit my lens" spam comment - be useful first, and then you can link back to your lens. If you feel the need to provide advice to the lensmaster, you might want to do that in private, rather than leave it where it might be misinterpreted.

Another cool built-in feature at Squidoo is the ability to bookmark your lens on the most popular web 2.0 sites, like Digg, Stumbleupon, Myspace and Twitter. If you want to become fast friends with someone, bookmark their lens with a nice comment, and then leave a comment about what you did on their lens. They will want to return the favor.

Effective Squidoo marketing teaches you the importance of working with others, and when you master that skill, you can succeed in life no matter where you go. So don't be afraid to lead in the acts of kindness, and watch how others reciprocate and help you out, which will really help to boost your rankings and income. Try seeing how far you can take your Squidoo earnings now that you know the main secrets. - 15790

The importance of Market survey.

By Genrikk P.

A Market Survey is a more comprehensive and detailed survey program, including such data as number of pumps/nozzles, forecourt layout, product offerings, etc. The Market Survey program is important as it provides up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive information on markets as a whole. The purpose of a Market Survey is to develop a current profile of the market industry. Once a target list of prospective customers is identified, a market survey is conducted to assess the demand for a product or service. The principal purpose of the market survey is to determine, as accurately as possible, the current status of supply and demand in the relevant service sector and of access facilities to the individual delivery platforms. The need for a dedicated market survey is clear and it should save unnecessary waste of time, man power and money. The purpose of the survey was to provide labor market information to businesses considering expanding or opening new facilities within a particular area. Before you begin a labor market survey, you need to be aware of basic career information. The following two areas are very important for market research:

Market : Market Surveys DataStream can conduct complete or partial Market Surveys, creating an inventory of all stores within a metropolitan area. Marketing executives struggle with constantly changing markets where competition, technology, solutions and even assumptions are constantly in flux. Survey data will be collected, analyzed, and disseminated through a comprehensive written report. The survey provides data that enable most industry professionals to compare industry market statistics, trends and information obtained from independent survey contractors. There are several approaches to this problem, which when appropriately applied can provide insights to specific marketing questions in a timely fashion.

Data will be collected, analyzed, and disseminated through a vey: comprehensive written report. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. It is recommended that you first print and review a copy of the survey before beginning to complete it. A labor market survey involves contacting various employers to determine if job openings exist. Market Surveys DataStream can conduct complete or partial Market Surveys, creating an inventory of all stores within a metropolitan area.

With reference to the above noted points, We should make our own work out of date, and view conclusions as beginnings, rather than endings. In particular, modern neurological research shows that people do not think and draw conclusions in linear, hierarchical ways or in exclusively conscious ways.

The evaluation process is a process which should serve as a determinant on the way the overall performance of customer service is measured. - 15790

Importance of Varying your Anchor Text

By Julie Johnson

The focus is usually on anchor text, in regards to obtaining bartered or paid links. A webmaster will immediately ask for their top keyword to be linked to the homepage. Also, a secondary keyword will be requested to be linked to its corresponding internal optimized landing page. And wisely, so. It is industry standard to wish to rank higher for that keyword. The end result desired is getting links with that keyword!

But to link-buying savvy webmasters, that should only be done most or half of the time. What else should you use? Mainly your URL, because this is a completely natural term to link. Natural links nearly always link from anchor text that starts with "www". If Suzy Blogger were writing about this fantastic site she found that has every type of bicycle seat cover ever made in every fabric and color and size, she is likely not going to link "bicycle seat covers"; she going to say "I found this great site www.bicycleseatcovers.com and I love their selection of seat covers" This is natural. Also you can link your business name sometimes. I know (I hope) you already rank #1 for your actual business name, but you are really just trying to add credibility to your link profile with this tactic.

You will not want to show a spike of artificial links, if you are stepping over Googl's boundaries. The best application of this would be when you are obtaining large amounts of lower quality links, such as blog articles. Make sure you mix up the anchor text. Your site will be helped overall by the quantity of incoming links, more than worrying about exact anchor text. Keep it real, by throwing out a few logical site mentions or specific product mentions.

Imagine the handful of truly natural (unpaid) great high PR links you have gotten, just by being a great site, or your business connections. Perhaps you spoke at a high profile convention and that site gave you a link. Or maybe you are a supplier of a national brand that listed you on their site. Which words are linked? "Cheap socks" would surely not be typed in on the seminar's agenda. Your company name would be the link. You are sure to know that you are accumulating authority from that PR7 link, no matter the anchor text. All are incoming links, all are of worth in the large picture. Natural links will keep you safe, while offering long term rewards. - 15790

How To Keep Your PPC Campaign Running Smoothly

By Brian Basch

All right, your PPC campaign checklist has all the boxes ticked. You've got the right keywords (don't forget synonyms and phrases) and everything's ready to go so you can just sit back and relax for six months. Are you crazy- Would you just open a sandwich store and go to sleep for six months? A PPC campaign is like any other business venture and needs ongoing management if it's going to be effective.

It would be nice to be able to set up a PPC campaign and let it run on its own, that's not likely to work. Instead, it's important to track activity on each ad to see if it's really as productive and efficient if you like. Use AdWords tools to help calculate the traffic percentage brought in by each ad. Then, check out information your web host can provide to find out what traffic actually led to sales. After all, a click that doesn't lead to a sale is a waste of money.

Keyword ads that aren't effective at producing sales are a drain on your resources. Idle keywords could be replaced by those which are more useful. Keywords that bring traffic, but don't lead to sales, cost money without giving you a return. You'll pay for every click, even the ones that don't produce a sale for you.

You can do something about the advertising that is not getting good results. First, you have to make sure your advertising is well put together. Your ad should be in the first five to ten pages of a search. If it is not there, you should address the advertising content and replace what isn't working for you. It could be time to look at your keywords and phrases to see if they are the problem.

Most people want the more popular keywords - it does make some sense to go with what's popular. But fad keywords are nonspecific and are used to start a search, not make a sale. The popular keyword is usually a last resort by people who haven't done their homework, or the first choice of a novice.

You've got to be able to think like the Average Joe out there. Think about using a search engine yourself and the sorts of things you type and then read. Look at the other ads that appear on your search and consider whether or not they work better than yours do? What sites are other ads associated with and can those sites work for you?

Monitor your results carefully. This will tell you which keywords should be replaced with more effective ones, and which ones are doing their job. Picking the right words is vital to getting ads which are productive, and bring in traffic that earns money. It's important to pay close attention to your PPC campaign if you're going to succeed. - 15790

More Marketing Graphics To Drive Up Sales

By David Fauchere

Anyone that has a website knows how critical is it to advertise effectively. This means you must have a top performing website to make profits.

This means when you sell stuff online, you should use the best performing graphics design on your site. If you use anything less, sales will drop off along with your profits, and you will have no money to continue advertising.

When you start selling online, you will notice that different folks like different things. It is the reason you need to match the marketing graphics to your market - to make sure you are bonding through the visual representation you are creating.

Once your marketing graphic is designed, you need to test it to make sure it works for your product or service. Graphics should be eye catching and pleasing, and avoiding any negative emotional connections.

Before I leave you, I want to mention something called continuity, or unity. It is the concept that your message and graphics form one unified message to your visitors. If you consistently present your unified message to your audience, they will believe you, and buy from you. It is a magical thing every big company learns - which is why fortune 500 companies like Sprint turn to one actor to represent their company.

Just remember to use effective marketing graphics for your particular websites in order to create the most profits. Do this, and you'll be the most profitable, and that lets you buy up your competition if and when they fail.

Why not try out some top performing marketing graphics today? - 15790

The Reality of Link Building

By Steve Prylon

Apparently it is here to stay: the power of the inbound link. Google values the inbound link in a powerful way. It's a vote for your site, and without the votes, you don't get that Googletrust and you don't get that ranking. Getting the right mix of links is crucial, and how to even get these links is a mystery to most, and a pain in the rear to the rest of us. But with the right effort and knowledge, you can create a logical mix of inbound links that will indicate to search engines that your site is valuable.

Of course, it goes without saying that your site should actually be worthy of the Top 10. So step one is to truly focus on your site from a visitor's point of view, not a search engine's exclusively. Only gaming the system will get you nowhere. It may get you temporary results, or it may get you banned from Google's index, but it will not work long term.

But still, it is a hard fact that is here to stay: the SEO work must be done or your site will end up ignored. Obtaining links, proper structure, not too much flash, fresh content, fresh content, add a blog, directory and articles submitted, press releases, widgets, meta tags, keyword density not too high not too low. All the basics have to be included or even that wonderful site that sells purple pillows shaped like mushrooms will not rank for 'purple mushroom pillows'. (Ok that is pretty long, maybe it would... but you get the point) There are only so many articles one can provide to their visitors about the benefits of purple mushroom pillows, and how to best care for purple pillows, and the reasons mushroom shaped pillows are the best. Early on in your SEO work, you will realize that all of this manipulation is not adding value to your visitors at all. But it just must be done.

It is reality that the incoming links are an integral part of this manipulation of your campaign for the search engines. Your link building campain will include the natural links that occur by chance (or by link baiting, adding lots of content and press releases and viral marketing). And you should balance this with a large volume of small links and a handful of heavy duty links from higher PR pages, or from some EDU links or GOV links. The sites ranking high in results have plenty of links, most likely a portion of them are paid links, it is just reality.

Link campaign tips: Keep it well rounded. Work towards a mix of high PR links and lots of smaller ones, even PR below yours. Shoot for links in content whenever possible, they are still absolutely the best. Keep the timing natural, you do not want tons of links showing up at one time, it is unnatural. Use a variety with your anchor text, do not overoptimize for one keyword. And point the anchor text to the complementary internal page, not just the homepage.

And how to get all of this done? It is daunting, and the only way to do it right is to spend an enormous amount of time on it. This is why companies are hiring these things out, and focusing on designing their site for their visitor, letting the SEO worry about the rest. - 15790

Using Products With Retinol A- Are They Anti Wrinkle Wonder Creams

By Julie Samtsonn

There are so many anti wrinkle treatments on the market today, claiming everything from being the fountain of youth to making you look like a movie star. Prices can vary dramatically and often the most expensive don't give any better results than thew cheapest. There are prescription creams and over the counter creams. The products that contain Retinol, which is a form of Vitamin A, are available in both prescription and over the counter forms. But, to understand the way they work, you need to understand the forms of Retinoic acid or Tretinoin.

Wrinkles form as you age. It is a fact of life that none of us can escape. The formation of wrinkles occurs because of some other factors, also. Heredity, excess sun exposure and smoking can all encourage wrinkles. Anti-wrinkle creams actually work on the concept of removing the dry, dead outer layer of skin from the surface of your face and by making the underlying skin plumper, increasing elastin and collagen. Some forms of the cream also introduce antioxidants.

Retinoic Acid and Tretinoin are FDA proven prescription creams that will reduce wrinkles. There are many over-the-counter treatments sold in stores and on the internet and while these products claim to contain Retinol A, it is important to understand that the FDA allows them to be sold without prescription because they do not contain enough Retinol A to be monitored. So, they are a milder form of the prescription creams that are available. That is not to say, they do not work at all, but it is important to realize that they are milder forms.

As well as this, there effects are only temporary, whether prescription or over-the-counter son once treatment is topped so do the effects. The levels of Retinoic Acid or Trtinoin from weakest to strongest begin with Retinyl palmitate (Vitamin A), Retinol A, Retinaldehyde and finally Retinoic Acid or Tretinoin (sometimes known as Retin A or Renova).

If you are observing the active ingredient list on an anti-wrinkle creams, it is necessary to compare the levels of Retinoic Acid. It is obvious of Retinyl palmitate to match the Retinol A, longer and more frequent applications of Retinol A will be needed to equal Retinaldehyde. So when comparing products, consider the levels of Retenoic Acid or Tretinoin included in the cream as it may affect outcomes.

The over-the-counter, slower process could even be a better choice for many people. The prescription levels can result in excessive redness and skin irritations. If chronic, the only solution is to stop its use. In the weaker forms, a user could experience these symptoms on a lesser scale, but it allows the skin to gradually adapt the retinoids from the Retinoic acid. Many people do the reverse, stopping their prescription and going to over-the-counter products. You may decide to consult a dermatologist and get the prescription strength. Either way, Retinoic Acid or Tretinoin, it is a proven an anti-wrinkle cream ingredient. - 15790

Kiiera Viv - Compensation Plan Overview

By Kiiera Success Group

Most Network Marketing insiders will tell you, to become a successful network marketing company it is all about the comp plan! In order for the organization to grow people need to be able to quickly and easily make money in the company, otherwise it will stagnate. Enthusiasm is necessary, but real enthusiasm in network marketing comes down to how quickly your people can get into the money.

I challenge you to point out a top earning network marketer who doesn't thoroughly understand his companies comp plan - they just don't exist. That's because the top earners understand every little detail of their comp plan and how to maximize it. They know that the quicker they can get their people making money, the more they will be able to quickly grow their organization.

The leaders of Kiiera took a very hard look at comp plans in the industry and studied which types were most effective at getting people into the money quickly and getting big money to big earners. Traditionally a plan was either good at one or the other, but Kiiera new that it would have to be good at both.

The company knew the basic model that they would use - a unilevel binary. Binary comp plans have been proven in network marketing to be highly successful, of that there is no doubt. But Kiiera wanted to make it better, refine it, find ways to help people just getting started. This is where things get interesting. The company knows that duplication is vital to the growth of the company and what better way to stimulate growth than to create incentives for people just getting started with the company to allow them to be successful quickly. You see many people will simply not stick it out in the trenches if they're not getting into profit quickly. While binaries can become highly lucrative over time, they have been criticized for their slow initial income growth for the average salesperson.

The main purpose of all of these extra bonuses in the comp plan is to get new affiliates making $300 to $500 a month quickly. Most people looking to start a home based business are looking to make that extra $500 a month, so these numbers are critical. Obviously Kiiera is in touch with the market and knows what is necessary to get their company on the fast track to growth and expansion. - 15790
