Ben Stiller Discovers Social Media [VIDEO]
We already know that savvy celebrities are on Twitter, have Facebookfan pages, and engage with fans directly online. A few, however, have been more than a little late to the social web party.
One such celebrity, Ben Stiller, isn’t afraid to poke fun at himself for discovering the joys of Social Media.
Ben is also fresh on Facebook,and in true Ben Stiller fashion he created a video dripping with dry humor, complete with a fake family, just to let us — his new fans and followers — know that he is, in fact, online.

You Need To Know These 5 Basic Tips If You Are A Twitter Newbie To Avoid Wasting Valuable Time!
Twitter is a fantastic social networking tool that can explode your business but you need
to follow a few guidelines so you don’t waste valuable time. That being said, Twitter can
be a little overwhelming and confusing to someone who is just starting with it and you don’t want to go in circles wasting time.
So here are 5 basic tips for you if you are just starting out with Twitter…
1. Figure out what you want from Twitter. Do you want it for personal reasons (such as keeping in touch with friends and family)? Do you want it to help increase traffic to your blog? Do you want to find local customers? Getting your purpose straight will help you focus.
2. Start following people. (All this means is that you sign up to receive their messages
[“tweets”] and you can message them back.) If you follow them, they will most likely follow you. Thank people when they follow you.
You can use the search feature (www.search.twitter.com) and find the people you want –
just put in the search terms you are looking for. If you want to find dog owners in Chico,
go for it. If you want to find local people to network with, that's fine, too. Just search.
3. Be interactive and send messages (tweets) out to people. Make sure you ask and answer questions and give value to the community. You don't have to say anything profound – just relevant.
4. Start “tweeting” right away. The best way to get followers is to say something – your tweets will come up in searches, so make sure you say things that reflect you well. Say things that are relevant and not just sending out sales pitches. Don't be afraid to give a
word of encouragement or a suggestion to someone.
5. Do not send “spammy” messages! Let me repeat: Do NOT send spammy messages!
If all you do is send out tweets that scream, “Buy from me! Buy from me!” you will quickly lose followers. Just don't do it!
Video and audio is a powerful way to learn very quickly. You retain 400% more with video and audio. If you like audio and want to retain more by watching an audio with a video you can watch this YouTube Webinar. O'Reilly Webcast: Twitter for Business:

To Your success

P.S - This Webinar is 1hr and 2 min so you’re best to set some time aside and take notes without interruptions. However, it’s a fantastic way to very quickly learn how to use Twitter, what NOT to do and what to do without spinning around in circles trying to figure out how to use Twitter for your business........Enjoy!!!

Get Rid of Procrastination, Now!
For many people, putting off their work for later is more habit than desire. It can be so hard to get into a groove where starting your tasks in a timely fashion is a priority, especially if the consequences for being late are things that one can probably bear.
If you are one of these people, yet you desire to shake off your propensity for procrastination, then you have come to the right place. Here are a few tips to help you overcome this dilemma and become a more productive and reliable person.
1. Set schedules It is very important that you have a list of activities to accomplish per day. This will help you realistically budget your time and resources. One of the cardinal sins people commit in regards to performing their tasks is to put off their work because they feel like there is so much time left. A journal, organizer, or calendar of events will help you plan and schedule your task so that you can start them promptly and finish them on time.
2. Save the Vacation for Later ñ Many people put their work off for later saying, ìI'll just have a little fun then buckle down to work later.î While it may be true that they may have more than enough time to accomplish their tasks, it would be better if they finished their work first and relax afterwards.
Wouldn't relaxation be sweeter if it were after a taxing job? If you choose to lay back and relax before doing your tasks, you will be more prone to burnout and will have nothing exciting left to look forward to after accomplishing a task. It is always better to have slack period AFTER a job than before one, especially considering that people are wont to overusing their slack time. This is suicide if you are heading towards a deadline.
3. Never Underestimate Your Tasks Sometimes procrastination sets in because people underestimate the resources, difficulty, and time spent for a particular task. They will usually say, ìIt's just mowing the lawn, its easy; I could do it in a jiffy. The problem is, no matter how trivial the task, it still takes time and resources to accomplish. If you underestimate a task, you will most likely set too little time to do it and schedule it too close to its deadline.
4. Don't Allow Yourself to Get Comfortable Doing Nothing It would definitely help if you kept a subconscious alarm whenever you are doing nothing. Get this alarm to remind you of things that may need to be done. This will help you foster the notion that jobs accomplished now means more time for relaxation later. However, even if this is the case, do not forget to put ample time in for rest and to remove all thoughts of troubles before hitting the sack. The trick here, however, is not to overdo you rest. There is a difference between resting and idling. Always set the right amount of time for rest and stick to that schedule.

Before You Can Make Money Online, You Need To Do This
When you investigated further, you were amazed to discover these weren’t the online versions of Donald Trump. Usually, these folks who’re 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’s 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 don’t make a dime. Worse yet, all the time and money already poured into the venture are completely wasted.
So how do you avoid this nightmare scenario? It’s simple, really. All you have to do is find out what your market wants… and then give it to them. (As opposed to guessing what they want and then writing an ebook no one wants to read!)
Here’s the secret to finding out what people want: Simply find out what they’re ALREADY buying!
You see, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. You shouldn’t guess. And you shouldn’t try to force products on people that you think they “need” (because if they don’t also want these products, you’ll go broke trying to convince people to buy them).
Here’s 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, you’ll 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 doesn’t include those same flaws.
TIP: You find out a product’s 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 you’ll instantly know how to create a better product.
Now that you know what your market wants, what’s the next step?

Here’s the BEST Time to Send an Email to Your List
You see, it’s pretty obvious why this question gets asked so often. If we email marketers know when our audience is sitting at their computers, then there’s a better chance that they’ll see it. If they see it, they might open it, click on our links, take out their credit cards and buy our stuff.
And so email marketers try to find the “sweet” spot: That point when the recipient’s email inbox is fairly empty, so your email will be easy to spot. Maybe you want to find a time of the day when the recipient has a few minutes to spare. Perhaps you look for a day of the week when it’s likely our subscribers are sitting at their computers.
But for the most part, it’s guesswork. And just guessing the best time to send an email doesn’t put money in your bank accounts.
If you want to be certain about the best time to send an email, then you need to follow this simple two-step system…
Step #1: Find out when most of your readers are online.
Don’t guess! Instead, go to your traffic logs. Find out when your website is the busiest. And in particular, find out when most of the people on your list joined your list. If you can find a pattern where they joined on a particular day and approximate time range, then that is probably the best time to send an email.
TIP: If you have a global audience, then people who sign up for your list on their lunch break in London is a completely different time then those who are joining during lunch time in San Francisco. If you use a service like Aweber, you can segment your list by region, which allows you to more easily send emails to a global audience.
Once you’ve determined when most of your audience is online, you can start sending emails out at that time. But don’t forget about Step #2…
Step #2: Track and test your results!
Just because your traffic logs and autoresponder statistics suggest that most
people joined on their lunch break doesn’t mean noon is the best time to send an email. Instead, you may find that your list is most responsive late at night, after their home from work and the family is asleep. Or you may find that they’re most responsive to your offers first thing in the morning.
Point is, finding out when your audience is online serves as a starting point. But ultimately, you need to test your list to find out when they’re most responsive. That means creating identical emails, splitting your list, and sending your emails out at different times of the day (and even different days).
In short: Let your subscribers vote with their wallets. Tracking and testing is the only way to know for sure when your list is the most eager to respond to your offer.

The Quick and Easy Way to Pocket More Affiliate Cash
But beware: Your affiliate cash can disappear quicker than snow in June if you don’t protect your commissions. Here are the top three ways to start banking more affiliate cash as soon as today:
1. Stop using direct affiliate links.
You probably already know that it’s a good idea to cloak (hide) your affiliate links. Doing so will help ward off the link hijackers who switch in their affiliate ID for yours, and thus steal your commission when they buy the product. It also virtually reduces the number of buyers who “cut off” the affiliate portion of a link and go straight to the sales page (perhaps thinking that doing so will somehow give them a better deal).
But there’s another reason to use direct affiliate links: Namely, because you could end up with hundreds of “dead” links all over the Internet.
You see, if you make a blog post, Twitter about an affiliate product or include your direct affiliate link in an ebook, then what happens if the vendor stops selling that product? You’ll have dead links. Maybe hundreds of them.
If instead you use a redirect link, you can change the redirect link to point from the dead affiliate link to a similar affiliate product in just a minute or two. And in doing so, you could potentially save thousands of dollars in affiliate commissions.
2. Look for these common sales leaks.
If you don’t vet the sales process thoroughly, you may find that the biggest thief is the product vendor! Sometimes the vendor is just a new marketer who doesn’t know any better. Other times, you may find vendors who are deliberately trying to rip you off.
Here are some things to look for:
Google AdSense ads on the sales page. Some marketers don’t realize
that a sales page shouldn’t have any distractions, and that the only way to leave a sales page is via a back button or the buy button. Other marketers know exactly what they’re doing – you send them traffic for free, and they get the money every time someone clicks on their ads. Either way, avoid these vendors.
Alternative payment options. Another sneaky way product vendors reach into your pocket is by offering multiple payment options on the affiliate landing page. This is only troublesome IF you don’t credit if the customer chooses a different option.
For example, if the vendor uses Clickbank for affiliate tracking, then obviously you won’t get a penny if the vendor encourages customers to call their orders in.
Customer service reps that send visitors to a new page. Watch out for this sneaky trick: sometimes when a prospect has a question, the customer service rep (or the vendor) sends the customer to a different sales page. End result? You lose the commission!
3. Find out what loopholes the vendor will use to keep your money.
Here’s one last tip: Always read the TOS (terms of service) and affiliate agreement. Sometimes you’ll find outrageous payment thresholds that allows the vendor to legally keep your money until you reach that threshold! Other times the vendor charges a huge “accounting fee” just to cut you your check.

Want To Attract New Clients Fast? ... Here's 3 Proven Ways
That’s why we marketers spend so much time, effort and money trying to put our offers in front of targeted leads. But it doesn’t have to be that hard… not when you know which marketing methods work best.
Here are three proven tactics you can start using today…
#1: Social Media Marketing
Savvy marketers know that social media marketing is in its infancy – and it’s set to explode in the coming years! Those who set up their social marketing campaigns now are the ones who will benefit the most in the future.
That’s because social media marketing is all about building relationships with others and building networks and contact lists. The sooner you get started building a good reputation in your niche, establishing yourself as an expert and building social media networks, the more you stand to gain when you fully leverage your reputation, content and networks.
So where do you start? With the some of the biggest social media sites, including:
Web 2.0 content sites, like Squidoo.com. These sites let you page one-page websites around niche topics. Google tends to crawl these pages often and rank them well.
Social networking sites like Facebook.com. While you should focus on finding or creating niche-specific groups on these general networking sites, be sure to always seek out niche-specific networking sites.
Social bookmarking sites, like Digg.com. These sites allow users to share content – and they can be a great tool in your viral marketing campaigns.
#2: Search Engine Marketing
You can pull in traffic from the search engines in two ways:
By ranking well for certain keywords and appearing in the organic
search engine results.
By using pay per click marketing to appear in the search engine’s sponsored results (for example, Google AdWords).
You should add both of these tactics to your marketing toolkit. That’s because organic search engine results can provide traffic for months (and even years) after you get your pages indexed. But on the flip side, pay per click marketing allows you to get highly targeted, nearly instant traffic.
#3: Buying Ads
Yet another way to get your offers in front of eager prospects is by placing targeted ads. You can do this by online and offline, including:
Purchasing banner and text ads on highly targeted niche sites.
Buying ads and solo ads in highly targeted niche ezines.
Buying blog ads.
Buying ads in offline publications, including niche magazines and the related topics of daily newspapers.
Which One Is Right For You?
This isn’t a matter of choosing the one tactic that provides the best results. And that’s because all three of these tactics are proven, time-tested marketing methods. They shouldn’t be used individually, but rather as part of your overall marketing strategy.
While powerful, these three main advertising methods are just the tip of the marketing iceberg. When you unleash these three alongside other equally powerful marketing methods, you’ll unleash a nearly unstoppable flow of qualified leads.

Swine flu deaths go up in India
Six patients are reported to be in a serious condition in the western city of Pune, which has recorded more cases than anywhere else in India.
There is a real fear amongst the schools that the children could contract the flu, so they have shut down a few schools as a precautionary measure.
Officials say there are more than 800 cases of the H1N1 flu strain in India.
The virus is thought to have killed almost 800 people around the world.
Over the weekend, three people died of the flu in western India - a 43-year-old businessman who was visiting Ahmedabad city in Gujarat state; a 42-year-old teacher in Pune city; and a 53-year-old woman in Mumbai city.
Last Monday, a 14-year-old girl became the first person in the country to die of swine flu.
Rising concerns
Health officials say that the country had enough stocks of the anti-flu drug Tamiflu.
However, panic is growing among the people with swine flu deaths making it to the front pages of newspapers and main TV news.
In Delhi, where some 228 cases have been confirmed, health officials say that the people are panicking "because the symptoms of swine flu and common influenza are similar".
As the number of flu deaths rise in the country, health officials have asked people not to panic.
Indian PM Manmohan Singh has asked the health ministry to step up preparedness against the disease and coordinate with state governments to help stop the disease spreading.
Last week, the World Health Organization announced that the first swine flu vaccines are likely to be licensed for use in the general population in September.
The swine flu (H1N1) virus first emerged in Mexico in April and has since spread to 74 countries.

Cris Collinsworth is set to succeed John Madden
August 2009
Who better to replace the legendary John Madden for the seasons launch of NBC's Sunday Night Football, than Chris Collinsworth. He knows his football, can argue with the best of them, & is a real personality. We all knew him as the star wide reciever for the Cincinnati Bengals for eight seasons.
Chris comes with alot of experience in studio's & the pubic eye, people foget he was on the number one team on Fox. The transition should be a seamless one. He is certainly replacing a legend, however if anyone is capable, its certainly Chris Collinsworth.
Thanks

MySpace Music to offer downloadable music
News Corp.'s MySpace has long been a haven for independent and commercial musicians alike to talk with fans and to spread the word about new music. Now the Web site is starting up a new download service called "MySpace Music" with some of the biggest names in commercial music.
MySpace Music is being launched in partnership with Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, and will offer digital music downloads, ad-supported audio and video streaming, a mobile storefront and sponsorship opportunities, according to a statement released by the companies on Thursday. The companies plan to launch MySpace Music's new features iteratively in the coming months.
Prediction: Facebook files for IPO by end of 2009?
Right now, MySpace's music site serves as a way for artists to connect with listeners and, through an embedded music player, let them preview forthcoming or currently released albums and singles. But when it comes to actually buying content, users are pushed off to digital music download services or links to retailers and e-tailers. With this announcement, MySpace is working with major music publishers to leverage itself as an e-commerce site to complete with the likes of Apple's iTunes Store and Amazon.com's MP3 Store.
MySpace Music plans to sell music without Digital Rights Management (DRM) restrictions. Mobile phone users will also be able to listen to and buy music through Jamba, a News Corp.-owned service that sells ringtones, wall papers and other contents for cell phones. MySpace Music will also enable artist to sell merchandise like t-shirts and concert tickets.
