By Caressa Waechter

Logos are used by most companies to identify their brand. A correctly designed logo can cause a person to instantly recognize the business behind the logo. In order to have a successful, healthy company, you really need a logo that truly represents your business.

For the longest time, if a business wanted to have a high-quality, unique logo designed for it, they would have to pay many thousands of dollars for a graphic design firm to design their corporate logo. Fortunately, the situation is different today, with the advent of online logo design companies.

A leader in the online logo design field is Logoworks. As a division of Hewlett-Packard, they have the ability to design for your company a completely one of a kind graphic logo.

By having a custom logo, you are able to better compete in your marketplace, and the minimal cost will be recouped in a short matter of time. - 15790

Making Money with Stocks Is Not Easy

By DJ Raymond

Making money in the stock market has a very strong attraction. No doubt you have been on the receiving end of a conversation as friends related their story of how they made thousands of dollars on a hot stock tip.

Perhaps they have shared with you their secrets for making their fortune in day trading. The truth is you would like to make money investing too; you simply don't have the knowledge or experience to invest your hard earned money in financial markets.

Remember that every seasoned investor started investing as a beginner investor. Perhaps that is where you are now. Perhaps you know enough about investing to insure you will lose money if you take the plunge.

The number one falsehood about investing is that it is easy to make money. It is not. Investing properly in any stock or equity takes a significant amount of time and research. When you purchase a stock, you are not buying a lottery ticket. You are indeed investing in a company.

Many investors plunk down their money based on what people say, or perhaps what a stockbroker may suggest. The conversation goes something like this. Mr. Smith I have a hot stock tip!

Company ABC is ready to take off, the price is 10.00 a share and I know if you invest $ 5,000.00 you can double your money in 6 months! If that sounds familiar raise your hand!

Money is made this way everyday, just not usually by beginner investors. The only people that make money on these kinds of tips are the brokers who take a generous commission on you buy order, and eventually on your sell order when it doesn't work out.

Another common mistake among novice investors is to invest in industries they know nothing about. This is common with all investors. For example a Lawyer might invest in an overseas oil refining company. What does he know about oil refining? Likely nothing.

The Lawyer is chasing the high flyer, just like many investors, especially new beginner investors.You probably worked very hard to put yourself in a position to save up money to invest to begin with. Work at least that hard to learn what you are about to risk your savings on, before you invest. Consider paper trading stocks to learn how markets work. - 15790

Email Like a Pro

Take note of some points in order to make your emails professional.

- Source

You need to identify yourself in your email address so people will be less reluctant to open your email. Use emails that shouts your identity e.g. sales@yourcompany.com. Such emails can be created very easily as most hosting plans give you free emails under your website URL.

The next factor to take note is your subject line. Keep it clear, concise, and under 50 words. You can try to create interest in readers in your subject line.

- Main body

In the Main body in your email, quickly identify yourself, and proceed to the main purpose of the email. If someone referred them to you, state the source of referral. Limit the use of fanciful pictures, make your email look professional, unless you have a special style you portray in your website, keep it professional.

Increase The Effectiveness of Your Email

By increasing your Email conversion rates, you will get more traffic into your website, thus increasing your ROE (returns on efforts) for writing the emails. To increase your email conversion rates, you should follow our 6 rules to emailing success;

- Brand yourself/ The Company

You need to brand yourself or the company in order to make people remember you. Good examples of branding are; The Rich Jerk, Success University, and many more. Stick with the brand image you created, and use it consistently in every email you send out. Put your Brand in the subject line, so people can recognize you instantly.

- Honesty

Be honest and truthful in your email subject line. Don't use false information to trick readers into opening the email. It is also a legal requirement to have accurate subject line.

- Instill sense of urgency

Creating a sense of urgency will make the reader make a decision. You can instill the sense of urgency in readers by using words like "for the first 50 customers, Limited time, early bird discount" in the email to make readers feel the need to take action soon.

- Entice them

Give readers benefits to open the email in the subject line. E.g. Redeem you Free Gift now! You can also incorporate the urgency to open the email in your subject line.

- Don't overdo it

In your text, avoid using too many bold, capital letters, bright colors, and punctuation (referring to ! ). For the simplest reason, it makes your text very confusing and distracting. It also triggers spiders and filter to classify it as SPAM.

-Short and sweet

Don't try to put in tonnes of information and updates in one email. Keep it short and sweet, focusing on the main points only. Practice your own discretion when writing emails to your audience and purpose of message.

*P.S Include a unsubscribe tab for all your email correspondence. It is a legal requirement for all email newsletter to include the unsubscribe option to reduce SPAM. - 15790

Getting the Most out of Your Reverse Phone Lookup Membership

By Hans Hisbon

In today's economy, it is as important as ever to get your money's worth for what you are paying for. A subscription to a reverse phone number lookup service is no exception. Chances are, you are not getting what you should be with your membership.

It can be amazing the amount of information that is stored in computers these days. If you are a busy salesperson and need to find a person quickly but you realized that you did not write down a name for your number, let a lone an address, no need to worry when you have your reverse telephone number membership. Often, a quick search will tell you other general information about the person as well, such as the age, relatives and the different cities they have lived in.

Most memberships even allow you to look up cell phone numbers as well. Most cell phones do not give you the name of the person who is calling unless it is already stored in the phone's memory. You can ignore the calls that do not show up, look them up later and decide if you need or want to call them back. Be sure to put them in your contact list so you know who it is next time that they call your phone.

It is never a bad idea to raise an eyebrow when dealing with classified ads. Prevent yourself or loved ones from becoming victims. Lookup the number in the classified ad and compare it to what they are telling you, if it does not ad up, ask questions. If you still feel uncomfortable, do not go. You could also use your membership to just be nosey and see if you are interested in the item in the ad. For example, if it is a car, you could do a reverse lookup, go by and see if you are interested in the car, then call upon the owners. It is a good way to save a lot of time, especially if you are shy.

In today's world, it is as important as ever to arm yourself with as much information as possible, information is cheap and easily accessible. What was only accessible by a select few is now accessible by virtually everyone who is willing to pay for it. Be sure you get the most for your money and utilize everything you are paying for. - 15790
