I’m so excited to tell you how I watch college football online and I never miss anymore games no matter where I am in the world or what channel the game is showing on. You see, before I found out how to watch college football online, I – probably much like you now – was dependent on my cable for showing my favorite college team on one of their few channels.  Ultimately, I was tired of missing games and tired of being victim to the limitations of cable tv.

So one day when I was surfing around on the internet, I ran across this site that promised to give me satellite tv for my computer which would give me over 3,000 channels.  Well, I didn’t care about getting 3,000 channels, I just wanted to be able to watch college football online quickly and easily without all the fluff.

So I kept reading and found out that I could watch college football online for free through that program just for an initial small fee which was less than my monthly cable bills.  I thought this was too good to be true but I bought it anyways thinking that I was going to get an immediate refund.

However, after I paid the small one-time fee, I was amazed with what I received.  I bought this product 5 minutes before my team’s game began at 3:00 and didn’t even miss kickoff.  That’s how easy it was to set-up for a computer illiterate like me. 

After the game finished, I explored the product even more with its 3,000 channels and found a lot of awesome channels showing the latest movies and tv shows.  I even canceled my cable service and now I just hook up my computer to my tv if I want to watch it on the big screen.  Also, on Sundays, I can watch nfl football online too which I love just as much as college football.  Go Panthers!

Let’s face it: Dating is daunting. And when you’re a Boomer, it may seem next to impossible. You might be coming out of a long-term marriage, or emerging from a period of time where you were consumed with raising children or caring for elderly parents — or, perhaps you still are responsible for children and/parents. Have your “dating muscles” atrophied? You might feel like you don’t have the slightest idea how to go about flirting, meeting the opposite sex, much less handling issues of sexually transmitted diseases. You might feel like your body is old or unattractive. Disrobing in front of a romantic partner? Definitely not.

Plus, today’s dating world doesn’t remotely resemble the one you knew. How proactive are women supposed to be? Is the third-date rule (for having sex) still in effect? Just how do you handle an HIV discussion? Is online dating reliable, safe, or even effective? And all these questions and difficulties are magnified for female Boomers, who outnumber their male counterparts and also have to compete with younger women.

Yet many Boomers, including women, have gone out there and had the fun and excitement of their teenage years all over again (and with the wisdom of the years, it’s even better!). A 54 year-old artist recently e-mailed me about her new Boomer boyfriend:

Joe adores me. He tells me I am a treasure, a rare beauty. I make him feel alive after so many years of being dead. Joe loves my voice, my thoughts, my work. He bought riding boots and we went riding together. His 95-year-old mom in Miami wants to see my photo.

Many Boomers have created love in their lives — the kind of deeply fulfilling love that offers true friendship along with the chemistry of lovers. Love, of course, is good for us. Research shows that married people are healthier both emotionally and physically. And having sex is good for us, too. Research shows that an active sex life may lead to a longer life, a better immune system, greater heart health, improved mood, even the ability to prevent certain cancers and ward off pain. Intercourse typically burns around 200 calories, which is equivalent to running on the treadmill for 30 minutes! And both activities release endorphins, which elevate mood and lower pain levels.

Once you take the dating plunge, you may be very pleasantly surprised at the possibilities, especially in online dating. This goes for female Boomers too. They often report that once they start, they feel more confident, more clear about what they want and therefore, more attractive! Female Boomers are more empowered and more affluent than ever before. The good news is that often, younger women cannot compete with them for a male Boomer’s attention. The thirty-somethings are too active and demanding in terms of nightlife and other activities, whereas a Boomer man may prefer the seasoned wise companionship of a woman who has been there and done that. In other words, both male and female Boomers are in a position to pick and choose who they want to date.

And there is plenty to pick and choose from. A recent survey showed that 70 percent of single baby Boomers actively date. And 45 percent of men and 38 percent of women between the ages of 40 and 59 have sex once a week. Boomers have taken to online dating in increasing numbers.

Lavalife.com, a dating site known for its younger clientele, reported a 39 percent increase in Boomer use from 2003-2006 and Match.com indicates that the 50+ singles are its fastest-growing segment.

Here’s what Shirley, a 50-year-old divorcee is experiencing:

I just met another amazing guy. This one actually was suggested by Match. I winked. He e-mailed. I e-mailed back. He called me and we had a fabulous conversation. He was so easy to talk to. He seemed honest and sincere. I asked some pretty blunt questions that he happily answered in good detail. And he’s tall! He created a business and sold it in 2006 because he had plenty of money and wanted to do something else. On the other hand, Bill, the writer, is coming out this afternoon. We are going to the beach. Bill says that he has written a poem for me…

So, what are you waiting for? Join the party!

The formula for successful Boomer dating

Tip 1: Bring out your charisma. Find activities that you truly adore and that create happiness and joy in your life. Ideally, pick activities that will transform both the inner and outer you. Take a personal growth course; learn to meditate; or start a spiritual practice.

Tip 2: Take care of you. For the outer (and inner) you, start a regular exercise program. It is definitely the fountain of youth. Give yourself a makeover so that you look great in your own eyes. Get that trendy haircut, go shopping and try out those clothes that your friend wears that give him/her a sexy, attractive or powerful look.

Tip 3: Don’t be shy to advertise. Then put out the word in your network that you are ready to date. Seventy-two percent of relationships come from a person’s network of friends, co-workers, and family. At first, don’t be picky — simply tell folks you are looking for a wonderful person.

Tip 4: Go where the singles go. Go where the opposite sex (or same sex, if you prefer) is. If you like what you see, smile, make eye contact, give a sincere compliment or ask for some help. Sign up for on-going classes/activities that interest you and that have potential dates in them. For example, courses on finance, investing, sports and leadership; snowboarding/skiing; hiking; and cigar tasting usually have a lot of men in them. If you’re a Boomer male, women are attracted to growth, craft, cooking, or spiritual courses. If you’re not sure, ask the enroller about the ratio of men to women. There are many other fun activities, classes, and clubs so Google any class/topic plus “your city” and “classes.”

Tip 5: Definitely do not miss out on online dating. Using the Internet is essential because it gives you a sense of the wide variety of singles that are out there right now. Sixteen million singles are dating online in the U.S. according to the latest independent research. You can partake of this smorgasbord of possibilities right there at your computer. Spend the time and work two sites. In addition to Match.com and Lavalife.com, Boomers can use sites like eHarmony or PerfectMatch.com (63 percent are 35 to 60) and PrimeSingles.net, a 50+ site whose membership grew 39 percent in 2005. Then there are more specialized sites like BigChurch.com for Christians, Jdate.com if you’re Jewish, or OurPersonals.com if you’re looking for same-sex romance.

Tip 6: Put some time into it. Most people spend more time planning a vacation than they do planning their dating lives. And they get great vacations and little-to-no love life! So if you want to date, get out your calendar and set aside 8 to 10 hours per week to spend on going to courses. Then work your online dating program so that you are actually going out on dates.

You have the basic tools for successful Boomer dating. You can learn the latest research on boomer dating and on creating love that is just right for you in my new book, Love in 90 Days: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Own True Love.

So remember, face down your fears and insecurities and get in the game. As the poet Kahlil Gibran wrote:
When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him…

How I Became a Copywriter without Knowing It

Coming from a “third world developing country” where the use of the Internet was either a form of luxury or a necessity, I barely had an idea of how powerful the Internet could be. Since the necessity factor took place in my personal environment, I finally became acquainted with the global computer network and all it has to offer. Whereas before, surfing the net was merely a form of exploring to while away my free time as a housewife, the web became an indispensable tool in my new found career as a copywriter.

I enjoy reading a whole lot since it transported me to different places and dimensions. It widened my vocabulary and further developed my ability to use the English language as a tool for communication. Little did I know that this same hobby could provide me with a career opportunity that was quite remote from my then existing career as a freelance accountant and a full-time housewife. I became an article content writer and a copywriter.

Exploring the World Wide Web (www) is fascinating mainly because of all the information we could get from it. Home guitar lessons, ballet tutorials, gardening facts and tips and a broader understanding of common ailments, you name it the web has it. I came across career opportunities and became interested about outsourced jobs. I initially searched for online bookkeeping work since this was more in line with my profession and experience; instead I became a freelance article writer and a copywriter.

Online bookkeeping jobs seemed too much to handle. Service buyers required too much work for too little pay and besides, there were too many competitions for a limited online career opportunity. I took interest in the copywriting category and saw that I could fit in with most of its requirements. I placed bids and posted messages, got ignored and rejected probably because I was not a native of an English speaking country.

I finally got my break when I answered a post looking for writers preferably coming from different time zones. My chances were great since my qualifications met with all its requirements, including that of “not being a Pakistani”. (It turned out that the service buyer is a Bangladeshi and it’s a known fact that they had been warring countries for some time.) I placed the lowest bid possible: “the rate is not so important since I only want to make a breakthrough in an online writing career.” It worked! I got hired!

The succeeding two months after I got the job was a harried phase of turning over articles after articles about all sorts of keyword based topics. Acne, hair loss treatments, joint pains, cellulite creams and other similar products including treatments for erectile dysfunction became topics for my reading materials. I wrote about more than a hundred of 500-word articles until my accountant’s instinct told me that I was not earning profitably. Two months and I only had less than a hundred dollars credited to my account.

I decided to level up my game and started bidding for other projects. I reminded myself that I am engaged in a freelance job hence I could look for higher earning opportunities. I became bolder with my bids this time since I already knew the kind of job I’ll be taking on. Sure enough, the move paid off. My new service buyer, an American copywriter paid twice the rate for what I was earning before. It made me happy of course and a little bit greedy. I figured if I could take on more article writing tasks, I’m bound to earn more.

The opportunity to bring my writing career to a higher level came when job ads indicated a preference for Filipino writers. This was heartwarming on my part; my race was finally being recognized in a profession where only the native English speakers could successfully make it. Prior to making my bid, I make a research about the service buyer just to have an idea of how much I was going to place as bid. Some service buyers are also article writers who won bids for large volumes of work with the intention of passing it on to other writers. These are the service buyers who can not pay much for the work so I avoid placing bids on their projects.

Fortunately, a Chicago based company mainly engaged in providing marketing services to web based businesses took notice of my bid and appreciated my work samples; enough to put me into a paid trial test of writing an article about “free poker online”. I was a bit taken aback since of all topics to write about, poker was the least I expected. I hardly knew anything about the game so I knew that I was being tested here more on research ability rather than writing skills. I passed and I got hired once more. Now I enjoy writing more than ever because jobs are coming in from two different sources and at reasonable rates.

Engrossed as I was with what I was doing, I never had time to research on copywriting as a career. Only when I did articles about article marketing did I realize that what I was doing all along was copywriting. I had this pre-conceived notion that copywriting was a highly technical job. I wrote more than a hundred articles about generic product description and information about its benefits plus some convincing lines to its effects. I became a copywriter without being aware that I was one.

I learned about article submissions, article directories and about ArticleBase. This time, I’m writing not for a product or as a marketing tool. I’m writing for my own satisfaction as a writer, as an expression of gratitude for those who believed in me and for once, not as a copywriter.

As the a gambling industry continues to be technologically advanced killing the barriers of time, and distance, many people are now playing the online poker room, that one needs is skill and sufficient funds to access the website and start playing against other people from different places.

If you have ever attended any casino or other gaming establishment, chances are good that you may have run into someone who the perfect place to play a hot game of poker could be found. Naturally, the level of accuracy of this statement depended greatly on the individual in question, as frequently these types of statements are completely based in imagination and fantasy on the part of the informant. The truth of the matter is that finding the one best venue for the playing of poker or other gambling and gaming activities is a near impossible task, since every casino, poker room and gaming establishment professes itself to be the best, the highest paying and the most reliable. The concept of truth in advertising is very loosely followed in the gray area of what constitutes the best or most reliable casino or poker room.

The experience of searching the web for online poker room like pokerpressbox.com can be just as frustrating as the search for the offline brick and mortar counterpart in any gaming friendly city such as Las Vegas or Atlantic City. The search for the best sites, the fastest payouts and the most secure online poker room and casinos can lead to a lot of dead ends, wasted time and even worse, wasted money. But the search for a suitable online poker room such as pokerpressbox.com doesn’t have to be difficult or even overly long if the user focuses on a few main characteristics that are critical to the success of any online poker room casino or poker room.

First and foremost, the issue of security should be addressed. Security against illegal tampering as well as protection against collusion and players who work together to cheat the other players who may be new to the concept of online poker room are both important areas to address in the search for online poker room and casinos worth playing. Without the proper security features, the player can’t be sure that payment information and personal data isn’t being copied from the site and the data that streams back and forth from player and poker room.

Fortunately, sites like pokerpressbox.com have effectively incorporated the latest effective technology into the online poker room room and casino concept and provides the maximum available protection against hacking with state of the art encryption technology. Safe and secure sign ups as well as day to day winnings are safe from the prying eyes of strangers.

The best online poker room sites have to be reputable. That is, they should be fair and pay out quickly and easily. It is important when you are deciding which site is best for you that you take into account what others are saying about the site. Some poker sites make it difficult to get your money out after you have won, while others lack the customer service to make guests feel comfortable. There are a number of best online poker rooms rating sites available with reviews from actual users. With very little research you should be able to narrow your search for the best online poker rooms, poker sites down to the most reputable three or four on the online poker rooms.

The next factor you want to take into account in your quest for the best online poker rooms is the number of people on the site. The more people that are on a poker website, the more likely you will be able to find a game quickly. Most people find it frustrating to go to a site only to find that it is difficult to get a table going or to join an existing table. If you are playing poker on line you want to log on and go. The idea is not to spend all of your time surfing around for a game. Also, you will want to weigh the number of people against the other factors to determine where it ranks in terms of importance to you in finding the best online poker roomsr for you.

Finally, you want to evaluate your own game so that you can determine what kind of competition you want to face. Different online poker rooms sites offer different levels of competition. By using the afore mentioned ratings sites, you can find reviews of which online poker room sites offer the steepest competition. Remember, better competition can get you into better games, but if you just want to be able to win a few bucks here and there you may want to stick with more intermediate or beginner online poker room rooms with lower pots. Determining the level at which you want to play, especially against the number of players on a site, is paramount in determining the best online poker rooms site for you.

Any online poker rooms player would be well advised to visit pokerpressbox.com and decide for themselves which online poker room is right for them. Fears surrounding online poker room rooms are not as great in magnitude as those of real life casino can be. With that realization you are free to explore the world of online poker roomspoker.

Four years ago, very suddenly and unexpectedly, I became a single parent of three elementary school age children.

The day it happened I knew immediately that the changes to occur in my life would reach far beyond just the care and upbringing of my children. For one thing, I was employed at a job that required my presence between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. for five nights a week. I couldn’t leave my children alone all night and the cost of having them babysat overnight was beyond my means. Not only that, but the schedule did not allow me time to give them the attention I wanted to give them.

Well, I had a little knowledge of the Internet at the time as I had a short time before purchased my first computer. To be perfectly honest though, my children had more computer literacy than I. Meanwhile, I have a situation to address—(1) to maintain an income (2) to become a stay at home parent. The solution I decided was to start a work from home business. During my previous surfing sessions I had seen all the advertisements begging for people to start a work from home venture at absolutely no cost; what an opportunity, what could be easier than this. Surely, I thought, this is the answer to my prayer. So into the water I jumped.

My very first try at affiliate marketing was with Referralware about four years ago. I signed up, got the affiliate website, read their instructions (which didn’t tell me HOW to do anything), went to some free classified ad sites and started posting. I posted and posted and posted for a couple of weeks and never got even one hit. All the while I am seeing sites wanting to reveal “secrets” that will make me rich and famous. Now, I felt for sure, there was something about this Internet game that I don’t know and I trusted several sources to help me out and reveal these “secrets” to me. After all, I was only trying to support my family, and it certainly seemed to be enough room for one more home business.

This process of testing and eliminating affiliate programs, joining and dropping out of matrix after matrix, reading marketing ebook after ebook, trying free and paid ad resources went on for month after month into a couple of years. I had a few token successes during that period (once I made $140.00) but it was never anything steady.

I am the type of person that when I make up my mind to do something, I am going to do it. I became determined that I was going to generate an online income, and still I knew inside of me, there was something I couldn’t see. I always felt like I was blind to some very obvious facts and that if I could only see my blind side then I would be on my way. Folks, I mean to tell you that over a period of a couple of years I tried every method known to internet marketing. I visited forums, I wrote articles,

I bought and read ebooks, I subscribed to ezine after ezine, I paid money for resources, I joined free and paid affiliate programs, I had my own classified ad site, my own FFA page, tried PPC, regular SE submission; I mean the WHOLE nine yards. Still nothing happened but some occassional success.

I decided to take a break, not quit, take a break. I laid off for about six months. I mean I stopped cold turkey; no surfing, no online bill paying, nothing on the computer for about six months. I realized that for one thing, I had been trying too hard. I was definitely absorbed in it. I was on the computer anywhere from 8-12 hours a day, sometimes even longer. I was using Pageswirl and clicking up credits in 20 TE’s daily, I had my own website and trying to promote several different affiliate and networking programs all at the same time. I needed a break and I took a break. Quitting wasn’t in my mind, but taking that break was a very good decision.

I came back refreshed. I knew what didn’t work and had an entirely new viewpoint.

I had decided to get off the beaten path. One thing that causes online failure is that too many of us are trying to market the same things to each other. I decided I had to catch people at the door. Once they were inside, the hustlers would get them, sell them on some garbage then they can’t be persuaded to use the best product on the market no matter what.

Finally, I found a product that was delivering. The big difference between Life Empowered and so many other online marketing programs is LE outlines a course of action, gives a plan you can start working that will lead to definite results. I knew I had found something. From there I soon discovered other workable programs and just as important, I now know how to take the principles learned in LE and apply them universally.

Folks, finally, I make some money online. It hasn’t been easy, I am not getting rich but I am not going broke either. I have learned something. I feel good about my accomplishments to this point in time. I feel good about my future with my home business. Internet marketing is no longer a frustrating mystery to me. You can use any program on this blog and it will work to your advantage. I will not attack other programs or any so called gurus programs. Just because they didn’t work for me does not mean they will not work for everyone. But whatever I offer up here, I can and do vouch for from my own personal experience.

Online marketing is tough. Get good guidance. Get right guidance.

Online Marketing Defined

The definition of online marketing is: Placing your business or product on the Internet for millions of users to access so that you can turn your website into a strong tool to maximize your sales and business potential.

“What Are The Benefits of Internet Marketing” But online marketing is much more than putting your advertising online. Marketing online includes such areas as communicating with your customers, promoting your business or product online, and making sure that your website content is useful and up to date.

The great thing about online marketing is that you don’t need to have a huge budget to put together a marketing campaign that is effective. There are tools that you can use to make your marketing techniques easy and profitable such website templates, shopping cart templates, and online marketing templates.

Generating advertising that is free.

One of the best ways to get leads on the Internet is by getting a product mention or a free link on another website. Effective online marketing is all about putting your product or service in front of potential customers at the exact time that they are looking for it. This technique is known as “pinpoint marketing”.

Pinpoint marketing is much different than advertising on radio or television, which are known as “interruptive marketing” techniques. Interruptive marketing costs a lot more than pinpoint marketing and is less effective for the simple reason that you’re attempting to put your product out there in front of everybody instead of pinpointing those potential customers who want to find out more about you and your business.

Pinpoint Marketing: Pinpoint marketing is the process of sending the right message at the right time so that it produces actual results. For example, if you’re at a ball game and are eating a bag of popcorn. Just when you take a handful of popcorn the Coca-0Cola logo appears on the big screen.

The next you thing you know you’re looking for the first vendor who can sell you a can of Coke. However, if an advertisement for a new car appears on the big screen while you’re watching the game and eating popcorn, you’re less likely to be interested since it’s not something you’re looking for at that moment.

Interruptive marketing isn’t really targeted because it’s not something that you are actively looking for. People who use the Internet are usually looking for a solution to a problem. When you put your product in front of them at the right time you’ve reached a potential customer.

Embedded Marketing Messages: These days, more people than ever are using the Internet to research a product before they buy. As well, most Internet users are becoming more serious about the amount of time that they spend online. Studies show that users are spending less time on the web and that the time they do spend surfing is focused and deliberate.

Many users bookmark their favourite websites so that they can access information fast and easily. When people want a solution to a certain problem, such as a health issue or taking a vacation, they often look online for the answers. This is why it’s important for you to put your product or service right in front of them whenever you can.

Reaching Your Target Audience

The more you know about your customers the easier it will be to come up with a marketing plan. You’ll also be able to design a website that is the most appealing to these customers. The biggest advantage of marketing on the Internet is that it allows you to become very targeted towards your desired customers.

Targeting Different Types of Customers

Marketing online is the same as marketing anywhere else. So “What Are The Benefits of Internet Marketing”. There are certain products, colours, themes, and lingo that will appeal more to some customers than to others. When you know what type of customers you’re targeting you can meet their needs so that you grab their attention. When you use certain features that pull customers to your website you have the ability to gain their attention, loyalty, and trust.

For example, studies show that most female shoppers like to save money and time. Over 80% of purchases in the home are influenced in some way by women. As well, these same studies show that women like to able to compare costs fast and easily without getting any kind of sales pressure.

If you’re trying to target women customers some things that you should keep in mind include (1) giving them a feeling of comfort and community, (2) let your website deal with everyday problems, and (3) focus on education, health, and family.

Any time that you can get someone else to forward your e-mail to others you get the information out there about your website and the product or service you’re selling. One key to great online marketing is remembering that quality, not quantity, counts. Avoid buying e-mail lists and focus instead on building your own with people who are actually interested in what you’re selling.

Today online marketing isn’t about how many people you get to your website or how many people are on your e-mail list. Today online marketing is all about how people react to your website and what it is that you’re selling.
