Google+ continues to go from strength to strength,

20 million people visiting the site in less than a month, all this despite it

currently being an invite-only service.

Google+ may still have some way to go to equal Facebook’s 700 million users and Twitter’s 200 million, but 20 million unique visitors to the new social networking site in the space of just three weeks isn’t a bad way to start. Of the 20 million, five million were inside the US. The Google+ iPhone app released on Tuesday is sure to boost numbers further.

The new service allows members to create a variety of groups, called “circles,” enabling them to share information and content with only the people they choose. One circle could be made up of co-workers, while another might consist entirely of family members.

The statistics, reported by the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, come from web analytics company comScore, who based its results on a “global measurement panel” of two million Internet users.

Speaking about the findings, vice president of industry analysis at comScore, Andrew Lipsman, commented: “I’ve never seen anything grow this quickly. The only other site that has accumulated as many new visitors in a short period of time is Twitter in 2009, but that happened over several months.”

What makes the figures all the more remarkable is that the new social networking service is currently open only to those who receive invites. “Right now, we’re testing with a small number of people,” the Google+ homepage says, “but it won’t be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone.” We can safely assume that the line on the graph will go through the roof when the doors open to all.

The long-term plan for Google+ is to integrate it with other Google services such as YouTube and Gmail. When that happens, it’ll become a service to be reckoned with and will likely begin to make big gains on competitors such as Facebook and Twitter.

10 inspirational quotes than can improve yourself

It might take a little coffee or probably a few rounds of beer or any other booze you could get your hands on when it comes to relaxing after a hard day’s work. Well, yeah I’m guilty about that one as well, unless I’m caught dead wearing a lampshade over my head after a few rounds of vodka… half-naked! Okay, bad example and I apologize to everyone reading this after getting nightmares about me in that state of drunken stupor.

Just don’t ask how it happened, please.

But what’s really interesting is that how do people go through the usual part of life when faced with vein-popping stress? I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga is one of the good things and it actually works. Is there room for the intellectual side of people who can actually smell the roses-in-a-can while on the move? It kind of had me thinking that there really must be something in this ‘mind-over-matter’ thing.

Humor is indeed the best medicine there is whenever you are. I mean anyone can pay good money to listen to a comedian just to make you wet your pants after laughing so hard. Despite of what’s been happening, and to those who has gone though the ordeal, it’s better to just laugh while facing the troubles with a clear mind than anger with a clouded vision. One of my favorite celebrities of all time may have to be Woody Allen. Now this is one guy who gives you the in-your-face bluntness that he pulls out with gusto, even without even trying. You can talk just about anything with a man, and he’s bound to mock the subject and you’ll end up laughing rather than being upset about it.

Woody Allen has this to say:

1. “Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.” It sounds good to me, I mean the practicality of all things does involve money but it doesn’t have to take an arm and a leg to get it.

2. “I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it’s the government.” ‘Nuff said.

3. “There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?” This happens to be one of the classic ones. I mean the issue about life’s little problems isn’t all that bad, until ‘he’ shows up.

Sure, relationships can get complicated, or does have its complications that probably any author about relationships is bound to discover it soon. We follow what our heart desires, unless you’re talking about the heart as in the heart that pump blood throughout your body.

4. “Love is the answer, but while you’re waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions.” And if you want more, just keep on asking!

5. “A fast word about oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said ‘no’.” It sounds, ‘practical’, I think.

And when it comes to everyday life, he really knows how to make the best out of every possible scenario, and it doesn’t involve a lawsuit if he strikes a nerve.

6. “Basically my wife was immature. I’d be at home in the bath and she’d come in and sink my boats.” I never had a boat in my bathtub before. Just staring at it while soaking in hot water makes me seasick already.

7. “I am not afraid of death, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” If it rains, it pours.

8. “I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.” It could get worse when you’re guzzling on beer… or mouthwash, and it happened to me once!

9. “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.” At least he doesn’t smite us with lightning, and I’m thankful for that.

And despite of what may happen to all of us in the next ten, twenty, or even thirty years, I guess we all have to see things in a different kind of light and not just perspective. I can’t seem to imagine life without any piece of wisdom that could guide us. Whether we’re religious or not, it takes more courage to accept your fears and learn how to deal with them is all that matters when it comes to even just getting along.

And to sum things up, here is the last nugget of wisdom to go by… however, whenever, and wherever we may be.

10. “The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have.”

Be Happy

10 ways to start taking control (time management, goal setting, record tracking)

At first glance, it would seem that positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have nothing to do with one another. But many of us with ADD develop negative thinking patterns because we become frustrated by our challenges and frequent feelings of being overwhelmed. This negative outlook then makes it even harder for us to manage those challenges and move forward.

Practicing positive thinking allows people with ADD to focus on our strengths and accomplishments, which increases happiness and motivation. This, in turn, allows us to spend more time making progress, and less time feeling down and stuck. The following tips provide practical suggestions that you can use to help you shift into more positive thinking patterns:

1. Take Good Care of Yourself
It’s much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest.

2. Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For
Stresses and challenges don’t seem quite as bad when you are constantly reminding yourself of the things that are right in life. Taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference.

3. Look for the Proof Instead of Making Assumptions
A fear of not being liked or accepted sometimes leads us to assume that we know what others are thinking, but our fears are usually not reality. If you have a fear that a friend or family member’s bad mood is due to something you did, or that your co-workers are secretly gossiping about you when you turn your back, speak up and ask them. Don’t waste time worrying that you did something wrong unless you have proof that there is something to worry about.

4. Refrain from Using Absolutes
Have you ever told a partner “You’re ALWAYS late!” or complained to a friend “You NEVER call me!”? Thinking and speaking in absolutes like ‘always’ and ‘never’ makes the situation seem worse than it is, and programs your brain into believing that certain people are incapable of delivering.

5. Detach From Negative Thoughts
Your thoughts can’t hold any power over you if you don’t judge them. If you notice yourself having a negative thought, detach from it, witness it, and don’t follow it.

6. Squash the “ANTs”
In his book “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life,” Dr. Daniel Amen talks about “ANTs” – Automatic Negative Thoughts. These are the bad thoughts that are usually reactionary, like “Those people are laughing, they must be talking about me,” or “The boss wants to see me? It must be bad!” When you notice these thoughts, realize that they are nothing more than ANTs and squash them!

7. Practice Lovin’, Touchin’ & Squeezin’ (Your Friends and Family)
You don’t have to be an expert to know the benefits of a good hug. Positive physical contact with friends, loved ones, and even pets, is an instant pick-me-up. One research study on this subject had a waitress touch some of her customers on the arm as she handed them their checks. She received higher tips from these customers than from the ones she didn’t touch!

8. Increase Your Social Activity
By increasing social activity, you decrease loneliness. Surround yourself with healthy, happy people, and their positive energy will affect you in a positive way!

9. Volunteer for an Organization, or Help another Person
Everyone feels good after helping. You can volunteer your time, your money, or your resources. The more positive energy you put out into the world, the more you will receive in return.

10. Use Pattern Interrupts to Combat Rumination
If you find yourself ruminating, a great way to stop it is to interrupt the pattern and force yourself to do something completely different. Rumination is like hyper-focus on something negative. It’s never productive, because it’s not rational or solution-oriented, it’s just excessive worry. Try changing your physical environment – go for a walk or sit outside. You could also call a friend, pick up a book, or turn on some music.

When it comes to the corporate world, protocol is pretty much the religion. To know the things needed to do are the basics

Improve your marketing and sales with some auto responder Improvements. Try some of these:

1. Publish free reports to send via your auto responder. The reports should be related to your business or web site & contain info, ads and links to your sites. People love getting freebies.

2. Collect vital customer satisfaction information by publishing a survey to send via auto responder to those who sign up on your site in exchange for a free eBook, software or trial period at your membership site. This type of information will help you understand their needs, likes & dislikes better.

3. Instead of answering each customer question that is e-mailed to you, publish “Frequently Ask Questions” and make them available via auto responder to those who sign up. To save time and support headaches.

4. Instead of publishing all of your customer testimonials or endorsements on your website, publish only a few there. And set up an auto responder form that invites visitors to receive a complete list via your. Give them a power-packed list; it’s more effective to include all of them.

Mix and match. Change your auto responder strategy to change your auto responder results!

Auto Responder Improvements

Stuck in an auto responder rut with only your eZine going out regularly? Get out of the rut with some of these ideas for improvements.

1. Provide back issues of your eZine archives via your auto responder instead of hosting all your archives online. This will give your subscribers and web site visitors easy access to them and offers a chance to include graphics, audio and video and other components all rolled up in .pdf files for quick, easy download.

2. Help with tech issues and publish your entire web site, save it in a pdf file, and load it into an auto responder. Sometimes visitors don’t have enough time read your entire site or they lose their Internet connection or time online. So this way, they could print it out and read it offline.

3. You could offer your eBook via an auto responder. Often your visitors won’t have to download it or have the software to read it right away, so this way they can take it “to go”.

4. For a handy – -and nice legal – touch, you could include the terms and conditions to purchase transactions and load them into an auto responder that is triggered with each purchase. This could include return policies, purchases, refunds etc.

There are many different ways of making money on the net, but there is no doubt that one of the most popular online marketing models continues to be affiliate marketing. Nevertheless, whilst this is at heart a very simple business model, that are many potential traps into which a less experienced affiliate might fall, so having access to a complete guide to affiliate marketing would definitely be advantageous if you’re just starting out.

For example, some new affiliates mistakenly equate the simplicity of the affiliate marketing business model to it being easy to make money as an affiliate.

Unfortunately, one does not necessarily tie in with the other automatically.

Consequently, some new affiliates do not see the instant torrent of sales that they probably expected so they become disappointed and perhaps even disillusioned with the whole idea of affiliate marketing very quickly.

This is clearly a trap to avoid, something that you can easily do by setting realistic objectives from the beginning. This is important because although it might appear as if marketing on the net is a completely new business paradigm, it is really only a variation on a traditional business.

As a result, affiliate marketing must also be viewed as a business too and a ‘proper’ business always has sensible, achievable targets. For example, if you were to open a store in your local mall tomorrow, you would not expect to earn a huge amount of money in the first month, so why should your affiliate marketing business be any different?

Another common mistake that is made by new affiliate marketers is to believe that there really is some ‘hidden secret’ that only a few ‘gurus’ are privy to, some kind of ‘hidden key’ that guarantees success. Unfortunately, you have to accept that you are never going to learn these ‘secrets’ or find the ‘hidden key’, not because they are really hidden or known to only a few but because they do not in reality exist.

Again, think of affiliate marketing as a real business. In genuine businesses, there are no secrets or keys that unlock the ‘treasure chest’ as the treasure chest itself is a myth. Thus, desperately searching for an easy ‘leg up’ to instant affiliate marketing success will also be a frustrating waste of time.

The bottom line is, achieving affiliate marketing success happens as a result of diligent market research allied to an ability to make sure that your promotional message is seen by as many suitable prospects as possible.

You also need patience, determination and a certain degree of stubbornness that allows you to overcome difficulties to bounce back more strongly and even more determined to achieve success than you were before.

Of course, a relatively short article like this one can never pretend to be the complete guide to affiliate marketing that you almost certainly need to have if you just got started in this business. Nevertheless, by understanding that affiliate marketing is a genuine business and that like all businesses, you should set realistic targets and goals from the outset is a crucial first step towards achieving affiliate marketing success.

Are you tired of the old school network marketing techniques?

You know the 3 foot rule, hanging flyers, bugging your family and friends, and holding hotel meetings.

I know that when I first joined my first network marketing company, I was told to use these same techniques.

I was told to make a list of 100 people that I knew and basically call every one of them to ask and see if they

would be interested in making some extra money.

I was only faced with questions I wasn’t able to answer, getting hung up on, and faced with nothing but rejection.

When I was officially shunned by everyone that I knew, all my upline told me to do was to go out and buy some opportunity leads.

This only led me to some more rejection and spending a bunch of money.

Now I was out of money, and had nothing to show for it.

Then just as I was going to give up, I found what I consider to be the “life saver” for my business.

This life saver I speak of was Mike Dillard’s 7 Day Free Video Boot Camp.

In these 7 free videos Mike explained how I could attract an endless stream of prospects to me

ready to join and actually get paid to prospect.

These videos have really changed the way I do my business, and I think they can help you too.

Okay What Is V-Mail ?

Well V- Mail stands for Video Email, don’t worry I hadn’t heard of it either…. until recently that is, but I know that this technology will be exploding very soon. We have all heard of You Tube which has been around a few years now and grown tremendously in that time. In that time though commercial businesses such as ours have not used this method to advertise our businesses. Now there is a few reasons for that such as having the you tube logo stuck in the frame and your customers having to click a link on a webpage or email.

Well it’s time to bring video marketing into the 21st century. I have aligned myself with a company which has an awesome array of products, and video mail is just one of them. This is how it works firstly you go and up load all your contacts into the video mail system. These can be uploaded via a csv file and imported and can be 10′s of 1000′s at a time. You are then ready to go.

Once you have opened up the video mail you can not only record a new video right there but also upload videos from your desktop straight into your video library. Now nothing new there…. but here’s where it gets exciting once you have your video you can then place it within a fully customisable template to suit your business. Within that template you can have all your contact details such as your name, phone number, email addresses and even your website address. How cool is that. Now they have hundreds of different templates which you can use for a range of emails, birthday wishes, party invites even holiday messages, could mean the postcard being a thing of the past…

But it’s the commercial aspect that we are looking at today…. so you have your video and template and you are ready to send to your customers, employees or business associates….all you do is select your contact list and press send. Simple….

Okay a question for you are you more likely to to read a 500 word email or listen to a 2-3 minute video mail, well figures show that 70 % of people, that’s your customers, are more likely to watch a video mail than read one. Now Marketing is all about getting your product, company or brand in front of people.  Well this is where this product is so awesome when the recipient of the email opens it your template is there right in front of them all they do is click to play. How cool is that.

Now not only does this company have the video mail but also video conferencing  and webcasting. Here are a few things your business can use this for, training videos, presentations, corporate advertising for your self and your clients, promotions, instructional videos how to fit your new blind etc, and the list goes on and on. Remember this doesn’t stop here with streaming direct to mobile phones you can now hold a conference call from the golf course if you wish.

Bring your business into the 21st century and check it out.

Referral Marketing…. what is that !

Have you ever visited a restaurant, had a brilliant meal and then told someone all about it, and told your friends they should go and enjoy a meal as well. What about discussing your mobile phone signal or tarrif and suggesting how good yours is and how everyone should change to your network. I’m sure that you hear these kind of conversations nearly every day. Now this is referral marketing and only thing that’s wrong with it is, the only beneficiary, in most cases,  is the company that you recommended, you in most cases, get no benefit at all. Apart from a big thank you from the friend you recommended.

Now, as you know everyone is working longer hours than ever before, six, some times seven days a week, 12 hours a day, juggling two or three jobs, just to earn money to pay the bills. Whilst continuing to recommend companies and products on a daily basis without even noticing. Some one might of even recommended you to this website, and I’m sure glad they did.

Now Is The Time For Change.

There is now a company that you can refer and get great rewards. It’ s a worldwide company with products and benefits second to none. If you or someone you know are looking to earn extra income or even a full time wage, then this is you.  All you have to do, is exactly what you already do every day of the week just keep recommending.

What If…..

You could have your own home based business for just $159 (approx £110) one time payment….. that would reward you for recommending them , which is only what you already do every single day but without noticing it…. But now you will get rewarded handsomely for your efforts. Now the company in question is called We Net Profits which is a Canadian company and they will pay you $50 (approx £39) for your very first referral that joins the company. And that’s just the start you can then get bonuses of $35 per referral per month.

What Does We Net Profits Do..?

We Net Profits or WNP for short are a global acquisition company that host an amazing array of on line products , and services. They include internet TV with over 3,000 channels streamed live to your computer.
