			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people reading this might be wondering what an autoresponder really is. An autoresponder service or software is used to automatically email a distribution list. But why would anyone want to use one? Stop and ask yourself how many people opt-in to your website but do not buy anything? Could you make money by mass emailing all those people another offer at a later day? All that effort to build traffic just went to waste because it relied on a single impression of your website. Some people will need to look at a product seven times before deciding to buy.</p>
<p>An autoresponder can be used to send daily offers to your visitors who use an opt-in. By emailing your list of visitors, you have an increased opportunity to make sales. Perhaps that same person is more awake now than when they first saw your offer. Out of no where they get your email and are now wanting to make the purchase!</p>
<p>You should now realize why people claim the money is in the list. It&#8217;s true. You can keep building your mailing list and your autoresponder mail new users. The larger your list the happier you will be! Think, if you had a thousand subscribers to your autoresponder, you could send them all a promotional email for any product, simply by pushing a button. To be sure your emails don&#8217;t go into the junk mail folder, though, you need a good autoresponder. Try searching Google for <a href="http://www.autorespondercustomerreviews.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.autorespondercustomerreviews.com');">autoresponder reviews</a> before deciding on one.</p>
<p>Before buying an autoresponder service you might also search for <a href="http://www.autorespondercustomerreviews.com/getresponse-review.php" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.autorespondercustomerreviews.com');">GetResponse review</a> and <a href="http://www.autorespondercustomerreviews.com/aweber-review.php" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.autorespondercustomerreviews.com');">AWeber review</a>. It will be worth the effort to research the possible autoresponders, because it is usually hard to find the best one to match your needs.</p>
<p>You know all you need to about autoresponders, so what now? Start making money from all those readers!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The way we conduct daily business is constantly changing, and the day of in person conferencing may be coming to an end because of the increase in use of Web based <a href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/audio-video-conferencing-services-systems-reviews/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.businessservicereviews.com');">video conferencing system</a>. Following are some reasons why:</p>
<p>*The cost. You don&#8217;t have to be an accountant to realize that the price of conducting in person meetings with clients, even if you don&#8217;t have to travel across the world, isn’t that affordable compared to web based video conferencing. How much it costs to actually travel and the cost of having employees doing business in substandard conditions such as the confinements of a airplane cabin or the backseat of a taxi start to add up very quickly.</p>
<p>With Internet video conferencing your workers are never wasting time and money on travel and there are whole markets full of price conscience customers that look to do business with shrewd businesses who help the bottom line of clients, even if it means no longer having a in person meeting.</p>
<p>*Company image. Perception is always a major consideration when it comes to making a good impression with new clients and keeping existing business associations healthy and fruitful. Giving suppliers and customers alike options that make use of the latest in convenient <a href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/audio-video-conferencing-services-systems-reviews/megameeting-personal-web-internet-video-conferencing/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.businessservicereviews.com');">Internet video conferencing</a> gives them the impression that your company doesn’t just run with everyone else, it’s leading the way.</p>
<p>*The personal touch. Phones can by used by anyone to do a voice conference, but the ability to video conference offers your workers a greater chance to make an impression that sticks.</p>
<p>*Not for just communicating with clients. Larger organizations that have offices located far away from each other will find it very favorable to make available anything from inter-office training seminars and employee meetings to board conferences that are secure. Some online video conference services are so advantageous that vital employees can be included in the <a href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/audio-video-conferencing-services-systems-reviews/megameeting-professional-web-internet-video-conferencing/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.businessservicereviews.com');">webcam video conferencing</a> even if they are vacationing in the Bahamas or out ill; all that they need is an Internet connection and a personal computer.</p>
<p>Many online conference solutions are available with varying service plans varying from features that are only marginally better than what can be found in instant messaging programs to sophisticated plans complete with branding and the ability to permit attendees to log in via their web browser regardless of their operating system.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Selecting the right niche can make or break your online business. Often, people trying to get into Internet marketing often stumble on this step, because they simply have no idea which markets are worth getting into. After all, nobody wants to spend months building a website that gets very little traffic simply due to the fact that there is very little demand for the subject in question.</p>
<p>So, how does one go about finding hot niche markets? Some Internet marketers suggest choosing a niche that you are either enthusiastic about or are familiar with. While this may come true in the end, the more practical way is to discover what people are actually searching for and base your online business around that. Learning the demand for a particular market is the very first phase.</p>
<p>One way to do this is to use some free tools, such as the free Wordtracker keyword tool (http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com). Type in a search term and Wordtracker will return the amount of daily searches for up to 100 related terms. You want to choose a term that has a decent number of daily searches – any number 10 or greater is worth considering. You may notice that the fewer number of words in a particular search term, the more searches it generally gets. On the other hand, search terms that contain more words get less traffic, but are usually easier to rank for.</p>
<p>Next, go to Google (http://www.google.com) and type one of the search terms in quotes. In the upper right hand part of the search results page, you’ll see the number of pages indexed by Google that are exact matches for your search phrase. Generally, when you are just starting Internet marketing, try to select terms that have twenty thousand or fewer competing pages when using exact match. Anything higher than this will require some heavy duty SEO to rank well.</p>
<p>Once you find that a particular subject with decent search volume and reasonable low competition, it’s time to go over to the Google Adwords Tool (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) to see if there is any money in the market. Enter your search phrase and see if there are any advertisers bidding for your search phrase. If there are a good number of advertisers, it suggests that there is in fact money to be made in your niche. If there are no advertisers, the search term you’ve chosen may not be commercial in nature, and thus may be difficult to monetize.</p>
<p>You’ve now got a handle on a niche that has decent search volume, low competition, and monetization potential. Once you discover how to find quality niches like these, you will be well on your way to raking in some big cash online with niche marketing.</p>
<p>One of the masters of niche marketing is Mark Dulisse, and he has launched an amazing course called <a href="http://imnicheformulabonus.org/review/bonus/formula.php" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/imnicheformulabonus.org');">IM Niche Formula</a>. Within a 10-month period, Mark was able to make a $10,000 per month income &#8211; all from just one website! You&#8217;ll learn exactly how this was done with IM Niche Formula. Head over to http://imnicheformulabonus.org for a detailed <a href="http://imnicheformulabonus.org" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/imnicheformulabonus.org');">IM Niche Formula review</a> and a killer <a href="http://imnicheformulabonus.org" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/imnicheformulabonus.org');">IM Niche Formula bonus</a> offer!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regardless of the size of your company, you really should have a logo to represent your company. Currently there are several options that exist should you desire to have a <a href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/graphic-design-logo-services/custom-logo-design-services-the-logo-company/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.businessservicereviews.com');">custom logos</a> created for your company. You just need to know what is important when picking a company to come up with your company logo.</p>
<p>Following are 5 things to look for when picking a firm to design a logo:</p>
<p>1. Price &#8211; You can pay anywhere from under $100 to multiple thousands to have a logo designed for you. Find out what your budget is and determine what is the best company in your price range.</p>
<p>2. Money back guarantee &#8211; A number of design firms will offer some sort of total satisfaction guarantee, even with <a href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/graphic-design-logo-services/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.businessservicereviews.com');">affordable logo design</a>. Typically this can be anywhere from being able to get a complete refund if you are not satisfied, to getting a refund, less some sort of fee.</p>
<p>3. Multiple designers &#8211; The more designers that come up with initial design concepts, the more distinct concepts you get to pick from. It is important to have a variety of choices, because if you only have one, you might not be pleased with how it represents your company.</p>
<p>4. Number of revisions &#8211; Once you have chosen a logo design concept that you want to move forward with, you need to have the chance to let the designers make the changes you request. Typically you may not want a great deal of corrections, but the option needs to be there for you to request as many revisions as you need to be totally happy.</p>
<p>5. Delivered file formats &#8211; After your logo is completed, it should be sent to you in many different file formats. No matter how you will end up using it, you will use the right file type for the use you have for it. You need to have the file formats on hand that you need.</p>
<p>Finding the best design firm for logo creation is vital to getting a <a href="http://www.businessservicereviews.com/graphic-design-logo-services/custom-logo-design-services-logoworks/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.businessservicereviews.com');">custom logo</a> that not only is a good representation of your company, but also is something that you are extremely happy with. Take some time to find the right company to go with and you should have a logo that will serve your company well for many years to come.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the domain name industry is growing rapidly, domain names have now become more of a commodity. This is the main reason for the increased number of companies like <a href="http://webhostingreviews4u.com/Top10/BlueHost-Web-Hosting-Review.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/webhostingreviews4u.com');">blue host</a> or <a href="http://webhostingreviews4u.com/Top10/IX-Web-Hosting-Review.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/webhostingreviews4u.com');">ix web hosting</a> that cater to the trends on the Internet. With an increasing number of people trying to acquire their own domain name, this has lead to domain name registration. There are two main uses of domain name, the first being setting up a website and email account for a user website and the other to set up a custom email address without a website. The latter option is fast becoming popular.</p>
<p>Domain registration is very important, so users must select the right company when entrusting one with such a task. A company that has been in the business for a longer period of time is always preferable. When registering your domain, ensure that you control every aspect of the domain name. This is because a few domain name registration companies do not allow changes to be made directly. The requests have to be sent through the company’s support system and are dealt with after a few days. They might also have a release fee for this service, which is completely unnecessary. The domain is yours and so it is not fair to be held at ransom for such a service.</p>
<p>Another aspect of cheap domain registration that should be checked is the email facility. Majority of the companies that provide the domain name registration service exclude the email facility. They only provide email forwarding that is relatively available easily. So to be on the safer side, select a domain name registration company, which is ICANN accredited. This means that the company goes through ICANN accreditation checks; an intense and detailed process, which is expensive too. Also when it comes to sending email, most of the <a href="http://bluehost-hostgator.com/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/bluehost-hostgator.com');">web hosting companies</a> and domain name registration providers do not provide their SMTP servers to send emails. They take for granted that the users can send email using their Internet service provider’s SMTP servers. This can create a problem since ISP’s allow use of their SMTP servers on their branded email accounts only.</p>
<p>So be careful when choosing a low cost domain registration. There are many unhappy clients of web host providers because of their unreasonable restrictions, deprived services and unreliable uptime and email concerns. These are just a few of the common problems that they face when signing up with unreliable domain name registration companies. There are web host providers that provide free domains on sign up, making it convenient for domain registration.<br />

<p>Designing surveys is considered easy; but is it? The truth is that creating surveys is easy but creating effective surveys is more difficult. The following twenty tips will help you write more effective surveys.</p>
<p><strong>1. What is the purpose of the survey?</strong></p>
<p>There are many reasons for conducting questionnaires. By phrasing the questions and structuring the answers surveys can be used in a multitude of ways and for a variety of reasons. When compiling a survey don&#8217;t lose sight of its purpose.</p>
<p><strong>2. Give the survey a good title</strong></p>
<p>The title of the survey is an opportunity to instantly summarise a survey&#8217;s objective and encourage respondents to participate. Respondents need to invest time in completing the survey so encourage them that the investment they make will be worthwhile.</p>
<p><strong>3. Ensure that you do not make the survey any longer than it needs to be</strong></p>
<p>Every question that is asked should be asked for a reason. Concentrate on the &#8216;need to know&#8217; questions and minimise &#8216;nice to know&#8217; information.</p>
<p><strong>4. Use plain English, avoid terminology and acronyms, be consistent and don&#8217;t ask questions that may result in ambiguous answers</strong></p>
<p>Be careful when wording the question. If a question is unclear then there is every chance that respondents may understand the question differently to that intended by the publisher making any analysis of the data worthless or at the very least suspect.</p>
<p><strong>5. Avoid having long questions</strong></p>
<p>Use short sentences wherever possible. Long questions can lead to a higher level of incidents where respondents abandon a survey.</p>
<p><strong>6. Ask one question at a time</strong></p>
<p>Avoid confusing the respondent with a question like &#8216;Do you like football and tennis?&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>7. Do not influence the answer</strong></p>
<p>It is important not to load the question. &#8216;Should irresponsible shop keepers who sell cigarettes to minors be prosecuted?&#8217; is unlikely to have any value.</p>
<p><strong>8. Make sure that the answer format used allows the respondent to answer the question being asked</strong></p>
<p>Allow the respondent to answer how they really feel or they may be less inclined to complete the survey. As a last resort consider the benefit of including a &#8220;Can&#8217;t say&#8221;, &#8220;Don&#8217;t know&#8221; or similar response option.</p>
<p><strong>9. While you are compiling your survey consider how the compiled data is going be analysed when the survey is complete</strong></p>
<p>When asking questions that allow for a free text open ended response appreciate that such information is likely to be difficult to score and/or summarised. Consider how answers can be grouped. For example &#8220;Indicate your length of service?&#8221; &#8211; &#8216;less than 1 year&#8217;, &#8216;between 1 and 6 years&#8217; and &#8216;more than 6&#8242;.</p>
<p><strong>10. Try and ensure that the questionnaire flows</strong></p>
<p>Group questions into clear categories as this will make it easier for the participants completing the survey.</p>
<p><strong>11. Target your respondents</strong></p>
<p>In some cases you will want to target a specific group, in others a cross section. If you can&#8217;t easily control the respondents consider including questions/answers that will allow you to filter out respondents who don&#8217;t fit your target profile.</p>
<p><strong>12. Allow the respondent to expand or make comments</strong></p>
<p>Allowing the respondent to make additional comments will increase their satisfaction level and will also give valuable feedback on the specific questions and/or the survey as a whole. Keep in mind though that for a large sample collection it may be difficult to analyse free text open ended responses.</p>
<p><strong>13. If you are conducting a confidential survey ensure that your pledge for confidentiality is honoured</strong></p>
<p>If you have guaranteed the respondents that the survey is confidential ensure that the individual data is not to be shared with anyone and the information is not going to be used for any other purpose. Confidentiality must be maintained at all times and any identifying information destroyed after the survey is complete.</p>
<p><strong>14. Weigh up the benefits of allowing respondents to be anonymous or identifiable</strong></p>
<p>If your respondents are to be anonymous then you will be unable to follow up specific complaints or match &#8220;pre&#8221; or &#8220;post&#8221; surveys. In some cases allowing people to remain anonymous will however allow people to respond without possible peer pressure.</p>
<p><strong>15. Consideration carefully the best response format</strong></p>
<p>Being consistent with the format used for responses is good practice. When designing your survey keep in mind that when analysing the data radio buttons are easier to analyse than check boxes that offer the respondent multiple responses. If a radio response format can be used do not use a check box format.</p>
<p><strong>16. Provide the respondent with an estimate as to how much time the survey will take</strong></p>
<p>If the survey appears to be a stream of never ending questions then respondent drop can increase. It is good practice to indicate how long the survey is likely to take so that the participants can choose the best time to complete the survey.</p>
<p><strong>17. Provide respondents with the survey end date</strong></p>
<p>Try and encourage your invited respondents to complete the survey as soon as possible but advise the respondents of the survey’s end date so that they have the opportunity to schedule the necessary time.</p>
<p><strong>18. Test the survey</strong></p>
<p>Before publishing a live survey publish the survey as a trial to check for questions that are ambiguous or confusing and to ensure that the survey is aesthetically pleasing.</p>
<p><strong>19. Before publishing the survey proof read the survey carefully</strong></p>
<p>Check and check again that the survey is grammatically correct and makes sense. If practical get a colleague to check the survey before you publish, if no one else is available then take a break before checking again.</p>
<p><strong>20. Thank your respondents</strong></p>
<p>To complete surveys respondents will need to invest their time and therefore should be thanked either at the end of completing the survey or in a follow up letter. You may even want to provide an incentive such as entry into a prize draw or a reward.</p>

<p>The internet is awash with web sites that encourage you to read emails and get paid. Some of them offer to pay $2,000 for 70 seconds reading. Is this too good to be true, or what is the real story?</p>
<p><strong>Make money online? Earn Two Thousand US Dollars Every Seventy Seconds?</strong></p>
<p>Yup, that sure sounds good, but are pay to read emails a scam? That was the question several other friends and I started out with about 8 weeks ago in June 2008. We&#8217;re like plenty of people, struggling to pay the bills and trying real hard to learn how to make money on the internet, so when these rumors about a system where one got paid well to read email advertisements came along, we were very attentive.</p>
<p>What seemed very interesting was that they weren&#8217;t offering to pay a penny per email, or five pennies per email, but dollars. Lots of them. Not five dollars, not ten dollars, not fifty dollars, but two thousand dollars for spending 70 seconds watching each email! It seemed outrageous, and we blessed our good fortune for stumbling onto this very discreet program.</p>
<p>Before we dived in we did our due diligence and searched the internet for headlines such as the one you see above, ie email scam etc. Nothing. Not even a hint on discussion boards or blogs, just a ghostly silence. Ok, we thought, that&#8217;s not bad, no complaints. Maybe it is for real.</p>
<p>We tried to understand how such a program could exist, how it could pay that kind of money and survive. We theorized it might be a limited numbers corporate study group, watching how people responded to ads. We theorized it might be Russian mafia laundering money.</p>
<p>On the email web site there is a contact button, but emails sent with these questions enclosed brought no answers.</p>
<p>The Web Sites</p>
<p>Now the read email web sites are very professional looking, with nice graphics and well placed advertisements that scroll and change. A well presented members box where one can sign on and control where the emails go is at the top of the page. Everything looks, well, like someone spent plenty of time and money setting it up. In order to receive the credit that one builds up, paid US dollars via paypal or several other means no less, one has to build up a certain minimum sum in the account. Its always a large sum too, like half a million dollars, and they say one can expect to receive payment after a length of time has passed, in some cases 15 days, in other 60 days or two entire months.</p>
<p>They offer payout in cash, or in kind credits towards advertising using their sites. All the major money transfer websites we&#8217;re familiar with are represented; Paypal, Alert Pay, Liberty Reserve, E gold and E bullion to name a few.</p>
<p>Now, in order to receive all that lovely cash, not credits, quicker, if one signs up as a paid member, bronze, silver, gold and diamond, then the getting paid parameters become much shorter, ie $50,000 and 15 days. I decided that we should find out if this was for real sooner rather than later, instead of wasting months and months of clicking adverts, so I stuck out my $100 via paypal for a diamond membership, and overnight I was a member of Jacob mails.com.</p>
<p>The Ads Started Arriving</p>
<p>From the first day I received about 35 emails per day. Many of them were for other sites just like Jacob mails, but were paying different amounts per email, and with quicker or slower pay out times. The rest of the ads appear to be regular mainstream ads, the content of which we&#8217;re very familiar with on the internet; dating sites, get rich quick schemes, military recruiting ads, all sorts. When I pressed on any links within these they all were active and working and led to home sites all over the world.</p>
<p>With busy days I spent several hours each night clicking and opening the ads while I watched TV, and in about 3 weeks I had crossed the diamond member&#8217;s payout threshold of $50,000. All I had to do was put in my request, notify which account my money was to go into and then wait.</p>
<p>I Request my Earnings&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, I waited, and waited and waited.</p>
<p>You might guess how the rest of this goes.</p>
<p>After The Money Didn&#8217;t Show Up</p>
<p>I began emailing them politely pointing out that some oversight had led to the omission of my payment and could they, well, get with the program, I&#8217;m ready.</p>
<p>There was no answer of any kind to half a dozen emails asking for clarification and payment. In fact the only thing that happened was that the membership information box that I should fill out to request payment, has been removed, so that now I can&#8217;t even request any money.</p>
<p>E Mail Scam Investigated</p>
<p>After a few more weeks it has become clear that no payment would be forthcoming. I went over to paypal that I had used to pay my diamond membership. I intended to see whether paypal could recover my $100 fee, as they sometimes can.</p>
<p>When I looked closer at the transaction details, I saw that the payment goes to an individual in China, not to a company name. The name in my paypal is Lixin Wang, and it&#8217;s safe to assume he is the individual at the core of at least several of these scams.</p>
<p>&#8216;Web Accept Payment Sent (Unique Transaction ID #7TW6XXXXX) Name: Lixin wang (The recipient of this payment is Non-U.S. &#8211; Verified) Email: lxinwng@gmail.com Payment Sent to: support@jacobmails.com &#8216;</p>
<p>I filed a complaint with paypal, they can be very active with fraudulent use of their service, but to this day, about 4 weeks later, I haven&#8217;t heard anything from them. Not even to acknowledge receipt of my email, even that is somewhat unusual, so, needless to say, there&#8217;s been no sign of a refund either.</p>
<p>Here are several names of &#8216;Pay to Read emails&#8217; sites that I used, to no avail.</p>
<p>jacobmails.com/pages/index.php pink-mails.com/pages/index.php best-mails.com/pages/index.php hmailsmoney.com/pages/index.php pretty-mail.com/pages/index.php eagle-mails.com/pages/index.php ippomails.net/pages/index.php</p>
<p>When I wanted to upgrade an account, I discovered that many of the account numbers are the same account, despite being on different web sites.</p>
<p>Its safe to assume that nearly everyone of these sites are scams, and exist solely to skim off hundred dollar members fees as people like myself join up for the gold memberships. I&#8217;ve also read the idea that these sites somehow create fake high traffic flows to improve the online rankings of a different website.</p>
<p>Reportedly some websites do pay out, and one recognizes them by the one cent per email pay outs. But&#8230;there are even complaints about these sites too, that they will pay out some tiny amounts, and then cease any further payments.</p>
<p>Here is a link to sites that are known to have paid out; squidoo.com/ptcsites</p>
<p>Here is a link to known fraud sites; ptctalk.com/scamalert.php</p>
<p>After several thousand sold membership fees, there is real money being made from unsuspecting people.</p>
<p>If you want to see discussion boards about these scams, it&#8217;s hiding out under the words &#8216;pay to read&#8217; or &#8216;pay to click&#8217;, or &#8216;ptc/ptr email scam&#8217;. Just type that into google and see what you get. There&#8217;s actually plenty of discussion about this, it&#8217;s just hiding behind the term, pay to click. You can copy and paste this link to your url bar;</p>
<p>Who Am I?</p>
<p>We decided that if these sites turned out to be a fake that it should be filed online somehow and made public, to warn others. I also have an interest in getting wealthy online and in investigating &#8216;get rich quick &#8216; schemes I discovered that over a third of them have complaints against them with the Better Business Bureau and others. I created a large in depth website to make this information public.<br />
