The World's First Pulsating Matrix Compensation Plan

Our Mission & Motto is "Liberating Families, One At A Time"

Warning & Disclaimer! This may not be suitable reading for all people, especially heavy hitters who enjoy permanent seats on the top of deep and fat forced matrixes... Our philosophy here at Message Magic Software is to monetarily REWARD ALL OF OUR SUBSCRIBERS, especially our members that have had little or no luck making a income in other companies. We believe there needed to be a change that would be REVOLUTIONARY. What we unveil here is a system designed for the success of all its subscribers week after week, month after month, year after year (not just the few that happen to be fortunate to enter early on).

We are very proud to announce the worlds first Pulsating Matrix, a matrix configuration that will absolutely astound industry observers, members and business owners. It is a system designed to help the average person make money for the very first time ever, and is all but guaranteed to take ALL negative aspects of building a forced matrix type compensation plan and throw them away forever!

The Pulsating Matrix Structure

The 1st PULSE - The traditional build of a 3x7 Forced Matrix.

The best way to think of the Message Magic Pulsating Matrix is to first consider it to be a 3x7 Forced Matrix. It builds in the traditional way everyone is familiar with, meaning 3 people on level 1, 9 people on level 2, 27 people on level 3 and so on...

And for the next FIVE DAYS as new members come in and pay their $15 fee, and as the monthly membership fees come due and are paid, these earnings ($2 per person per level) get stamped seven levels upward.

But here is where it gets interesting. So interesting, in fact, you are going to shake your head in amazement in it's power, it's simplicity, it's fairness to ALL members, and how ALL PARTICIPANTS can earn money. There is no smoke and mirrors with this and you will understand it perfectly.

The 1st Pulse lasts for approximately 5 days and then we move to the 2nd Pulse.

The 2nd PULSE - This is to give the newest person the excitement that comes with being at the top of a forced matrix.

When we shift from the 1st Pulse to the 2nd Pulse what we do is this: we turn the entire matrix upside down. In other words, the last person in becomes the top of the matrix and we rebuild the matrix in perfect formation from that last position (last in) backwards to the first position (the first one in will now be placed at the BOTTOM of the matrix!).

This structure makes people WANT to join, even though they are coming in long after the business started. Think of this... Imagine how exciting it is for a person who joins and suddenly finds out they are at the top of a 3x7 matrix?!?!?!

And then for the next FIVE DAYS as the monthly membership fees come due and are paid, these earnings ($2 per person per level) get stamped seven levels upward going to the NEWEST PEOPLE who just came in!

The 2nd Pulse lasts for approximately 5 days and then we move to the 3rd Pulse.

The 3rd PULSE - This is to ensure nobody gets left behind.

When we shift from the 2nd Pulse to the 3rd Pulse we once again rebuild the entire matrix, this time it is sorted in descending order based on how much a person has earned while a member of The Pulsating Matrix (which considers both monthly fees and accumulated earnings). In other words, the people who have earned the LEAST (net) will be at the TOP of the matrix and it will build downward based on how LITTLE they have earned so far. It also means those people who have earned the MOST will now be placed at the BOTTOM of the matrix!

And then for the next FIVE DAYS as the monthly membership fees come due and are paid these earnings ($2 per person per level) will be stamped seven levels upward going to the people who have earned the least! You would have to agree this goes way beyond what is normally considered to be fair!!

The 3rd Pulse lasts for approximately 5 days and then we move back to the 1st Pulse.... with the matrix being rebuilt as it originally did from top to bottom following lines of sponsorship.

Please note: there is no longer a f*r*e*e* 7 day trial period

Can Article Marketing Help Your Business

Can Article Marketing Help Your Business
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




Can article marketing help your business? The answer

is yes because not only are you able to post your

articles for free but you get to reach a specific

audience that is interested in your product or

service.

Article marketing can help your business the minute

you submit these to different article directories. If

these are approved for posting, people will be able

to visit your site or may want to get in touch with

you as they click the link or look at the resource

box.

The resource box is usually found at the bottom of

the web page. Here, writers can put their name,

website and email.

If your article had a significant impact on the

reader and they would like to post your article in

their websites, they can do so which means more

people will be able to see your work without you

having to do anything.

Articles that are posted in directories usually ask

you for keywords so this can easily be found when

someone visits the site. These keywords are also

given to search engines so if people type it in, your

article will also appear and they will be able to

view it.

Another way of getting people to see your site is

giving this in the form of a report or e-book to

potential customers. With all the information there,

that person will surely want to know more and get in

touch with you in the future.

People who are serious about article marketing have

to venues where the articles can be displayed. The

first is high traffic distribution sites while the

second is submitted to highly relevant niche

publishers. The difference between the two is that

although the second will not be read by many, it will

be easy for those who run this site to refer

qualified visitors to the author.

It doesn’t matter if the article you are writing

about is for a small, medium or large business

because there are ways to promote it. For instance,

if your article is for a small restaurant, you should

put in the title something related to the location of

the establishment. The same goes for the medium and

large scale business. The key here is to come up with

a catchy title that your audience can relate to.

Of course there are other ways of promoting your

business such as paying for pop up ads and meta-tags.

But why would you spend when you can get this for

free? So, take advantage of this free marketing tool

and see what it can do as it has done for others. You

surely wouldn’t want to pass up on the chance so

write something about your business or get someone to

do it for you.

Is article marketing better than conventional print

publications? The answer is yes because people will

easily find your article by typing in some keywords.

Print publication on the other hand is difficult

because you will have to browse through how many back

issues of newspapers and magazines just to find it.

Also, conventional publication is only relevant to

the time it was written. The online form will be

there for many years ahead as this information is

stored somewhere in the cyber space. Just make sure

this is updated if something new comes along so you

are sure that article marketing is able to help your

business.

How to come up with a good site through article marketing

How to come up with a good site through article marketing
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




Article marketing has become one of the tools that sites used to increase their page rank in search engines like Yahoo and Google; increase their site views and of course also increase their site advertisements.

To those who are not familiar with the term, article marketing is the use of articles to promote a product or create an awareness about a topic that is closely related to the product. For instance, if you are selling a product that treats hypertension, you will have to come up with articles that will make people with hypertension take notice. And what would interest them more than an article on their illness! These articles will frequently have bio box at the end, which will detail the name of the company and their contact information. Some who are writing savvy will even be able to incorporate the product's name into the article.

Article marketing used to only exist in flyers and mailings. But now with the world wide web, articles have proliferated sites. Not only are articles now used to market products, it is also now primarily used to promote the site and increase its page rank in search engines. With a good page rank, site views are better and therefore revenues from site advertisers will also be good.

The use of articles for this has however led to problems in article quality and reliability. Articles now have become lousy in terms of the information that
it gives as well as in the way it is written. All are haphazardly done, perhaps because site owners sacrifice quality for quantity.

But it is not yet too late. Here are some ways to make sure that you get quality articles for your site:

1. Hire professional writers
A lot of people can write but few can write a well-written piece that is grammar mistake free and cohesive to the topic. If you create good content for your
site, not only will you have presence in the search engines, you will also be considered as a site where good information can be gotten. Just look at what
happened with the wikipedia. It may be more expensive though to hire professional writers but your site will however be known for quality articles.

2. Hire professionals on the field or experts on the topic

It is good to quote resource persons in your articles. Being experts in the field that you are writing about, they will lend credibility to your piece. But of course, if you can, you should also look into hiring these experts to write the articles themselves. This will be great for the site and also a great exposure for them. They will not even ask for a fee!

3. Get editors to clean up the articles
If you cannot pay good writers to do the job, at least hire an editor who can look at the articles and clean them up for you. Depending on the kind of editing involved, editors may be expensive but having clean and well-written articles will help your site get the credibility that it needs.

4. Photos.
Article marketing is not just about the articles. You also need to make sure that you have a visual representation to accompany the articles. This will make the article visually appealing to the site viewers.

Choosing an Article Marketing Service Provider

Choosing an Article Marketing Service Provider
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




Writing an article is one thing but did you know that you must also choose wisely the article marketing service provider as well? This is because there are hundreds of these scattered on the web and some of these are illegitimate.

The first thing you have to do is figuring out which one of these providers are well known across the web. Some of the well known ones are about.com and
ezinearticles.com. You can post as many articles as you want and the best part is that you don’t have to pay a single cent to become a member.

The articles posted should also be accessible by the major search engines. This means that articles submitted to the provider should easily be found by people who type in certain keywords using the search. If it doesn’t, there is no point submitting it since no one will be able to find it.

Some article marketing providers tell you that they will post your article in several sites if you decide to pay a certain fee. That’s great if the sites that will post this in have high traffic. One way of checking that out is going to a site like Alexa.

Alexa monitors website traffic. If the names of the sites they will promote it are not that popular, don’t waste your money signing up with them.

An article marketing service provider should be able to reach a specific audience with what you are going to upload to them. This is the reason that you have to submit these in the correct category. It’s okay if you make a mistake since they will fix it but if they don’t have this kind of system, you better look elsewhere.

Will the article marketing service provider edit the article? Some do while some don’t. But since this is your piece, it is only right that you should be the only one to do it. For those who are lazy, then perhaps this is okay. They might even translate the article into different languages so people from different dialects may also understand it. This means additional revenue for new if you are able to sell your product or service to other countries.

Articles can only be found through keywords. You should also check if the article marketing service provider uses the same to promote your articles online.

After all, not everyone subscribes to information from the article marketing service provider that you have chosen.
The ideal article marketing service provider should be able to acknowledge the fact when you upload articles and when these have been approved. This will tell you right away if what you have written is already available for people to see or if some changes need to be made. Again, if they can’t do that you are better off working with another provider than can do everything that was mentioned in this article.

You only want to work with an article marketing service provider that cares about your success. After all it is supposed to be a win-win situation since they advertise in your webpage and you get to post as many articles as you want for free. To avoid wasting your time and being scammed, just follow the guidelines mentioned and everything will be just fine.

How to Go About Writing Article on Internet Marketing

How to Go About Writing Article on Internet Marketing
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com


Going over an article on Internet marketing, you will gauge how the term has changed through the years. It used to be focused on ad placements. The way to do it then was to create a web page and place banner ads on other sites so that you can have links to your own sites.

There are also some money making scheme that evolved wherein you are advised to join a program for you to earn through the Internet.

But as of today, Internet marketing has become synonymous to advertising. And the best way to do this is through creating valuable articles. This way, it is less costly especially if you have the knack for writing and you are going to create your own materials.

Writing the Articles

Writing for the web is a lot different as compared to feature writing on magazines or even in the newspapers. This can be easy to do once you get the hang of it. All you've got to have are ideas about a specific topic that you want to become an expert on. But if you really do not have the knack for this craft, you can always hire freelancers to do the task for you.

First thing that you have to remember when writing the articles is that you must have a specific audience in mind. You will address your materials to them. You are vying for their attention that is why you are writing your articles in a way to reach out to them. This is the kind of topics which they are interested to, so you write about it until you are considered an expert. That will not be hard to do especially when you have good content which your target market is always on the lookout for.

You have to be subtle in promoting your own web site, products and services. This rule applies when you get your articles published on different submission sites. Most of the time, you will be allotted a box, an ample space wherein you can create an author's bio. That's the part where you can have a link to your site. The idea here is when you already got the trust of your readers, they will be interested enough to click on your specified links.

Take note of the word count. Other submission sites would accept 300 or so words for articles. But most sites prefer 500 to 550 minimum word count. Read the rules thoroughly so that you won't get banned from any of those useful sites.

Also be careful in using keywords. Do not use it too much to the point that it will annoy your readers. Stuffing your articles with keywords will just make your readers turn away from your materials as long as your motives become very obvious.

Lastly, choose an article submission site that ranks high on Google and in Alexa. You don't want to submit your work on spammy sites. That will not do your business any good. You can also study where your competitors do their submissions. This way, you can zoom in on those sites and start on your submissions.

Read through an article on Internet marketing just like this one before you plunge into a territory which is still unknown to you. This way, once you've entered the battle, there will be no turning back.

Problems in article marketing

Problems in article marketing
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




When you click on search engines, your three keywords will literally result to a thousand of websites. You can thank article marketing for that bit of fact.
Article marketing is the use of well-written articles to supply information on a topic that is closely related to a product. For instance, if you are selling a medicine on diabetes, a great way to promote the product and to catch the eye of people with diabetes is to write an article about diabetes! That way, your target market will be caught.

Articles used for this type of marketing will often include a bio box that will list down the company, the product and the contact details. Some will even have pictures of the product beside it. Quality articles that are used in this field are often informative and short. After all, you want to keep them interested and not bored them to death!
It is not surprising that in recent years, the world wide web has caught on to its effectiveness. Article marketing now has become an online phenomenon. More and more articles about a variety of subject areas are being uploaded everyday over the internet. People who have websites have turned to articles to increase their page views.

In turn, they are supported by online advertisers who rely on their page views for advertisement views and consumer awareness. Search engines also rely on the articles submitted to their directories to rank websites during a search. The more articles in the directory, the better the rank. But the use of online article marketing has lowered the quality of the materials that are being posted over the internet. Instead of the well-written articles that inform consumers about a relevant topic, websites post materials that are haphazardly written. Check some of the websites that come out from the search engines and you will see just how much the quality of the Internet articles have lessened.

Some articles on the Internet are copied from another website. Even though they have different first paragraphs and introduction, the essence of the article or even the body will be the same exact same thing. Some rephrase the original article but when you read it, you will see that the concept and the principles being discussed are often the same. This is why there are a lot of duplication when you research over the Internet. Some will even present an entirely different topic after the second paragraph.

Another problem is the structure and grammar of the articles posted. Most of the articles nowadays have really atrocious grammar and several wrong spellings.
Typos are also pretty common in websites. The structure of the articles is also not well-done, leading people to think that the people who wrote them are non-writers.

Reliability is also another problem that has cropped up with article marketing. Since articles are written primarily for the search engine rank and the page views for advertisers, most articles will no longer contain any authors. This is considered unreliable sources especially for people who are researching technical pieces. Only a couple of websites have articles that carry bylines.

This has affected the reliability of the information that are gotten from the Internet. Some in fact cannot be trusted at all especially the sites that are
not so well-known.

Professionals writers may do the task for the salary but ask any passionate writers out there and they will tell you that they are writing first and foremost
because they love what they are doing. They want people to read their stuff. They want to help in a way. They want to inform.

Read, Help, Inform

The Whole Concept Behind Internet Marketing Articles

The Whole Concept Behind Internet Marketing Articles
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




Every business must have a strategy on how to spread the word out about its products and services. It doesn't matter if it is an online business or an offline one. If it is sales that you want to achieve, then you must do everything to market out your products and services. One effective way to go about this is through Internet marketing article.

Business Strategy


Look at your own notes. How do you plan to promote your business? It doesn't really have to be a big time venture that would eat up most of your budget. You need to be practical. Times are hard and not everybody can afford the likes of a broadcast ads.

Now you have two choices when it comes to affordable advertising. It is either you use the print medium or you take advantage of the Internet age. The cheaper means when it comes to print ads are the direct mailing pieces like postcards, catalogs, brochures and flyers. The idea here is to find the right printing company to process your materials.

If you will choose the second route, this will be much cheaper but you won't really able to track down certain names on a targeted list just like how it goes with direct mailing. But the advantage of this is that many people are browsing the web and you can tap all those people to become your probable clients.

Sit Down and Write

This is how most business owners do it these days. They create good contents, establish themselves as experts in their chosen categories and invite people to
click on their links leading them to their web sites.

How do you go about this? You have to choose what areas or categories you want to focus your articles on. Make sure that your intended target audience will be interested on those categories. This is already minimizing the wide range of types and kinds of people who will be reading your articles. This is just like you are making sure you are talking to the right people.

Choose the right article submission sites. Do not submit to every site that offer free article submission. Your business must first be associated with good choices. And this is the first choice that you have to make. To help you with your decision, you can join web forums about such topic. You can also check the Google ranking of the site. Check out also its Alexa's ranking. This way, you will know what sites get high volume of traffic.

Stay away from the spammy types. That will not do you any good. Yes, your articles may have higher chances to be crawled. But who would want to read materials that are rich in keywords but lack sense? You must convince people that you can help them. You must gain their trust. This way, there are higher chances that they will click on the links that you will provide on your author's biography box.

Your author's bio is a small space allotted for you to tell people who you are and convince them that you are that good that they must click on your link to find out more. This is the whole concept behind Internet marketing article.

This was created to help you promote whatever kind of business you have by first piquing people's curiosity then leading them your way, or in this instance, your web site.

The usual way to go about writing articles is to start with the word count. This is regularly 500 to 2000 words and talks about the field of your expertise.

For example, you are selling furniture. On your article, you can target interior designers, home owners as well as business people on how they can make use of the different furniture. You can give tips on how to design their space using the pieces that you are selling

In your articles, you should not blatantly sell your furniture. The way to do this is establish first your expertise about the product, teach people how to use them and give them ideas of how others have utilized such.

is your chance to sell what you've got and make people interested enough to click on your link.

There are many free article directories available in the web. But you cannot submit in all that. It will be better if you check on the rankings of the sites that you have chosen to submit to both in Google and Alexa.

The Software

In submitting to the sites manually, you have to copy your every article, its description and your links then paste it on every submission site. This is what
the software addresses. It does the job for you much easier. This is available now for the price ranging from $90 to $200.

The software will be able to do your multiple submissions at once. This comes with an auto formatting aspect.

You just have to fill in the required details once and the software will do the rest for you.

With everything being handy, you no longer have any reason not to take advantage of this opportunity to market your products and services. The writing itself can be outsourced. There are a lot of freelancers that you could approach to do the job for you. All you have to provide them with is your goal, what you are selling, what the articles are for and some basic guideline if you have a preference with regards to the style.

The web is not only a vast resource of information. It is a vast source of people who would be interested to try what you are offering. Your task is to be seen by these people and lead them to click on to your links.

This way, you will be able to contribute with the good contents and information that can be useful for other people who will be searching for such finds. Let the article submission software help you accomplish that goal easily.

The Basic Guide on How to Write Articles

The Basic Guide on How to Write Articles
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




If you have just discovered the many routes that you

can take with regards to online marketing, you may be

faced with many questions. One of them and a very

important one is how to write articles.

The Rule of the Game

Writing for the internet is very different from

getting your daily dose on blogs and other creative

venues. Yes, this also requires a lot of creativity

on your part but it caters to a specific market,

people who doesn't have much time to spend reading

the 500 plus words articles that you are presenting

to them.

Your role now is to get their attention, make them

scan through your materials, get your point and get

them hooked with what more you have to say then what

more can you offer to them.

Basic Guide

You need not be too academic when it comes to writing

articles. Besides you are not writing a research or

term paper. You just want to reach out to potential

clients to help them in avenues wherein you could

reach out to them in relation to whatever business

you have.

1. Good content

Your writing doesn't have to be too technical that

people would have to consult a dictionary just to

grasp your thoughts. You have to create functional

articles that will be easy to understand and people

will be able to relate with.

2. Conversational tone

Talk to your target market through your articles.

You've got to establish a connection with them. And

this can be achieved through the manner that you

present your articles. You have to make them feel

like you are a friend that they can turn to if they

are having problems in some aspects of their

business.

3. Excite your readers

You are not writing to win awards so avoid the boring

matter of fact route. Keep the tone bubbly and easy

to grasp. Create headlines and catchy tag lines in

order for you to keep your probable clients

interested.

4. Short paragraphs

Short paragraphs are intended for easy reading. This

will especially be helpful for those who don't really

have the time and are just scanning for interesting

finds.

5. Provide benefits

Make sure that after reading your piece, the reader

will get something out of everything that you have

said. Such knowledge should be useful to them and

will make them interested in reading your future

articles as well as your other products and services.

6. The importance of you

Use the word you throughout the article. This way,

the one who will be reading it will feel a sense like

you are directing them because they are important. It

The Importance of Article Marketing to Improve Business

The Importance of Article Marketing to Improve Business
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




Writing is a passion. It is a profession. It is a craft. It can be a hobby.
It can also be a marketing tool. How? If you have a business and your aim is to
get the word out about you, one way to go about such task online is through article marketing.

Marketing Strategies
If you own a business, whether it is a startup or a big company, you would always think of ways to promote your stuff. This is the main reason why creating
web sites are popular these days. More and more people are getting hooked with how the cyber world works wonders.

If you own a web site, the next thing that you will think about is how to drive traffic to it. Just like how you do it offline, you have to reach out to your
target market and lead them into clicking your URL.

Article Submission Sites

With the advent of many credible article submission sites on the web come entrepreneurs who are seeing opportunities open for them to speak out and pique the
interests of their potential clients.

And how do you go about this?

1. You create good contents. What does this mean? For example, you are a printing company who caters to business people and professionals. You offer
postcards, business cards, brochures, newsletters and the likes. When you write the articles, you will not only think about ways to design your postcards, you will go and direct the material to your target market. You can write an article about ways to design your postcards to help your food business.

This way, you already are capturing a niche market. These people will be interested with the products that you are offering. They will be more interested if they will get a view of how they would be able to utilize such tools. And the perfect avenue for you to do so is through the good and functional contents that you make available for these people.

2. Take time to fill out your Resource Box

When you submit articles to directories, they allow you a space to have your author's biography. No, this doesn't mean that you have to brag that you are a good looking, 40 something, with bank savings. You are not looking for a partner. You are looking for clients.

To do this right, include your name, your web site address, a tag line or your business' unique selling proposition and a call to action for your readers.

This is the venue where you will promote your own stuff and lure them to click on your links.

Now do you understand why it is important to create quality contents for this purpose? People must trust that you can deliver what you have promised. They

don't know you. But in establishing your name as an expert in the field where they need help, they will learn to appreciate you and may later become

interested as to what you are offering them. You cannot achieve that with crappy articles.

If you don't have the knack for it, you can always hire freelancers to do the job for you. This way, you will be able to provide article marketing to

submission sites while you reap the benefits of such move through time.

What It Takes to be a CNC Operator

What It Takes to be a CNC Operator
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




Being a CNC operator may seem a little too easy but take a look at the requirements from companies and you'll think twice about the difficulty level of being
a CNC operator.

Being a CNC operator takes a lot more than just being able to handle long hours of staring at the monitor or creating an input stack for the programs. What it means is that you have to have outstanding programming capabilities and at least basic machining knowledge.

Job Requirements

A CNC operator has to be knowledgeable about blueprint reading. This is because, basic design concepts and construction is hinged heavily on blueprints.

Furthermore, the components that are being manufactured by companies that have CNC machines are based on blueprints of a whole structure. Therefore, if you do not know how to read blueprints, you won't know what to program the machine to do.

Another thing that a CNC operator has to have is familiarization with machine operations. If the operator does not know which machine tools are for which

job, or how fast the machine can work, or what the rate of feed is for the machine, or even the depth of the cut needed for the operation, then you wouldn't be productive and the operation would be a failure.

The most obvious thing that an operator would have to know would be the general operating characteristics of the machine. He/she would have to know what the

machine runs on—tape, network data input, or floppy. Furthermore, proper data input procedures have to be observed to lower the error ratio. A faulty data
input procedure could cause the entire cycle to collapse therefore lowering the level of efficiency.

Working with CNC machines means that you will also be dealing with a lot of computer work. This means that you have to be familiar with basic computer operations. In addition to that, you will have to know how to interpret data in the program output stack.

The company's requirements and the benefits.

some companies require a lot more than what is written above. Oftentimes, they require applicants to be familiar with the system that they use. Other times,
they want the applicants to have no less than five years of experience working in a factory or at least working with a CNC machine. Also, some companies require applicants to undertake a specific training program to ensure the employers that the material they are getting is worth the money they will be shelling out.

However, the benefits that can be reaped is quite solid. Salaries and insurances are often negotiable. Working hours are also a snap! All you would have to do is initiate the cycle and then sit back and occasionally check for glitches. Furthermore, these companies often takes care of their operators as there is always a shortage of skilled enough people to take hold of the position.

So, what does it take to be a CNC operator? To synthesize the requirements, you have to be amazingly determined to pass the requirements of the company you are applying for. And then, you have to be able to quickly restructure the program in case of any glitch that the computer might encounter during the process.

The benefits are solid, but passing the requirements is like surviving the gauntlet. Think about this career.

When To Shove People Out To Make Way For CNC

When To Shove People Out To Make Way For CNC
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




The normal businessman’s mind is always geared towards profit, profit, profit. No matter how much the company spends, at the end of the day, the revenues should exceed the expenses (including tax). Although innovation is a major requirement to a business' growth, many small-time businesses just lie back in comfort. They think that as long as they're earning and they have a steady market, it’s all right.

This holds true for businessmen who are contented with being small-time (though it's hard to find one). However, for businesses that are aggressive towards getting ahead, acquiring a CNC machine seems to top their list of priorities.

CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. A CNC machine is a computer "director" which is composed of machine tools that read a specific set of instructions (in G-code) and is able to “direct” certain manufacturing tasks repetitively. The top industries that use the CNC technology are the Metal and Woodworking industries.

If you are a regular member of a techie forum for entrepreneurs, CNC may be showered with praises because of its performance. Most businessmen also swear by saving a lot of money and time when they started employing CNC technology in their production processes. However, if you are still considering CNC at the expense of the jobs of
your employees, it is best that you prefer CNC at two levels: the logical level and the emotional level.

LOGIC-WISE

CNC machines do specific instructions. They will never assume anything, nor rebel against the program loaded to them. Imagine the security of knowing that you will "reap" exactly what you "sowed". Let's say, something goes wrong during the process. Assuming the machine is in perfect condition, you CANNOT put the blame on it because it just performed what you told it to do so.

Secondly, there is the blanket of consistency. It provides a certain level of safety and ease to the head supervisor. If you have overseen the operations today, most likely, it will be exactly the same tomorrow. The feeling of knowing what to expect is always a good thing, especially when there's money involved.

Lastly, there's speed. CNC machines do not stop to think. After you do the thinking, they do the power-jobs that they need to do. It’s that simple. There is a minimized set-up time and back-job time pocket.

What you will find a flaw about CNC though, is that logic-wise, CNC machines cannot think of better ways to perform a task (IF there is a better way). A CNC machine is purely mechanical; when it was sold to you; the salesmen never mentioned the word “creative” or "innovative". I hope you did not miss that.

EMOTION-WISE

CNC machines are also assets of the company. When assets like this are purchased, there is little or no emotional investment that goes with it. You won't even train it! It is expected to do certain tasks and that’s saving you a lot of time from all the explaining, demonstration and reminding.

Also, when a CNC machine is performing its task, it is void of any emotion. So no matter how hot the weather is, or how noisy the workplace is, the CNC machine will do its job just like any other day. It is different as compared to people - who have the tendency to space-out when doing very mechanical and tedious jobs.

Although the CNC may want to, it also cannot complain. That's really convenient. What you will need to note now is your electric bill. Beware, for when getting CNC machines, it may betray you in the form of lofty bills. All the emotions you’ve saved might just be unleashed.

Accepting Credit Cards: How This Can Help Your Small Business Grow

Accepting Credit Cards: How This Can Help Your Small Business Grow
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




For a lot of people who are just starting to launch a small business venture, it may seem quite intimidating to start accepting credit cards as a means of payment from customers right away. After all, it takes a lot of hard work to have your company certified for merchant status from a number of banks to be able to accept credit
payments.

Even so, what small business owners must take note is that setting up your company to accept credit cards can actually contribute many rewards that could lead to the growth of your business. Here are some of the reasons why accepting credit cards will greatly benefit your company.

Increase In Sales

With customers being able to pay through credit cards, you are actually increasing the probability, speed and size of customer purchases. This is mainly because accepting credit for payment basically does not turn away sales. And so, when your customers are in the mood to buy your products out of impulse, then they can readily make purchases even when they do not have cash in their pockets. In this way, you are doubling the chances for people to be able to buy your products by adding options for how they want to make their payments.

Contributes to the Convenience of the Customers

This also adds to the convenience of your customers. Take in mind that not all people may always carry cash with them, especially to those who are traveling. In fact, so many people today actually may find the use of plastic for shopping very handy and much easier. When customers are pleased with your company’s policies and feel comfortable

with your services, you can surely rely that they would most likely buy from you more frequently.

Improves Cash Flow & Guarantees Payment

A business owner can also rely on better cash flow upon accepting credit payments because there will surely be money coming in to the company. Unlike other means of transacting cash such as checks, these credit cards have fewer risks and are more reliable since payment transactions do not depend on whether your customer has sufficient funds in his or her account. In addition, this also guarantees you that you will surely be paid at least within a few days. This way, you as the business owner can also give just compensations to your employees and make timely payments for all your dues.

Gives the Company an Established Appeal

Doing business with credit cards can also give your company an appeal of professionalism to the customers as well as to other firms that you may want to partner with. Somehow the recognized way of transacting funds through credit

cards and banking adds to your business’ legitimacy even if you are only operating a small business, as it gives a certain impression of trust to the public. Even through reputation, your small business can already appear bigger than it really is and this can largely contribute to drawing the public to your company.

Credit cards can certainly play a very vital role to the progress of your business. Through helping your company increase its sales, provide customer convenience, guarantee payment, increase cash flow and even give an established appeal, accepting credit cards may just be one of your best moves to improve your company’s
performance.

In conclusion, no matter how small your business may be at the moment, accepting credit cards from your customers as a regular part of your services will surely help your company grow.

The Legal Side of Sponsorship

The Legal Side of Sponsorship
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




Sponsorship, by nature, is a business affair; and as with anything that is in the arena of deals, partnerships and mergers, a legal agreement is always in the works. This is most especially practiced in sponsorship, since its form of business is through partnering with an individual or organization as a tactic for market exposure.

Protection is the key word when drawings up contracts are presented between sponsor and sponsee. This is to prevent any anomalies or set backs that may occur in the event that one party doesn’t reach the agreed upon aims.

To help in creating a legal agreement, below are guidelines and key points to consider when formulating a letter of agreement or contract between a sponsor and sponsee.

A guideline in agreement

It is important to always take a sufficient amount of time and very careful consideration when drafting a contract.

This applies to all business ventures other than sponsorship a huge number of companies thrive in having partnerships. In any relationship, it is most important to think through such considerations in order to have something to ‘fall back’ on.

In sponsorship, a letter of agreement will usually be enough to seal the deal between sponsor and sponsee, but this will highly depend upon the value of sponsorship and the size of the company that is involved. If the value is very high, like that of major athletes and big time corporations, a contract is the choice most would go for.

In creating an agreement or contract, it is important to take into account the following points:

• It is best to always get a commitment in writing. A handshake or word-of-mouth agreement will never suffice.

• Write down everything that is discussed and agreed upon during sponsor-sponsee meetings

• It is good to take advice on that commitment that a sponsor or sponsee is getting into. There are consultants

that specialize in these kinds of partnerships.

• An organization or individual should never commit to anything it/she/he cannot be sure to deliver. In short,

promises that can’t be kept should not be made

• An agreement should be simple and direct in writing. It is best to avoid too much legal terms, although at times

this cannot be done without.

The crucial point to understand when it comes to legal agreements is to have a very clear statement of what the sponsor and the sponsee has agreed to. Usually a lawyer will always point out any necessary areas in which have to clarified and put into more detail.

In order to get a view on what should be clearly stated and defined in any legal agreement or contract, the following list bellows breaks down what usually is considered between sponsor and sponsee partnerships:

• The nature of both sponsor and sponsee – whether the former is capable and relevant enough to support a person or organization; and whether the latter can live up to the needs of the sponsor in return • Cash and benefits – this should be clearly defined as to what each party will be getting out of the partnership

• The actions involved for both sponsor and sponsee – this area should list down the roles of each party within the partnership.

• The length or contract term – The agreement or contract should also state how long such partnership between a sponsor and sponsee should last, and the terms of which a contract can be stopped or turn invalid

• Early exit – this part of the agreement is more of a ‘back up’ plan for each party, wherein if either fails to comply with its responsibilities and obligations, then there is a chance for the other party to exit gracefully.

The Popularity of Sports Sponsorship

The Popularity of Sports Sponsorship
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




Sports sponsorship can be observed and dated back to Rome and Ancient Greece where prominent society members supported the arts festival as well as the sports played. By support, it didn’t mean the proper sponsorship or patronage that was considered as a marketing tool. It rather meant continuation of such festivals and athletic
events for entertainment.

Today, however, sponsorship through sports has become one of the most popular kinds of sponsorship due to the amount of exposure it can get for both sponsor and sponsee. Sponsoring an athlete or sport means that the sponsor is exchanging products or money for the right to link and associate the company name with the sporting event or
athlete.

Why do organizations sponsor sports?

Aside from the popularity tag sports sponsorship gives, a number of other benefits also appeal to the company’s interest. Some of the most common benefits are given below:

Added value to brand


Companies that sponsor sports want their product or range of products to have added value when attached to a sports event or group. By value, this points to product quality, price and/or content. Companies use sports as a leverage

to stand out among other competitors, and in turn create for themselves a top position where consumers can remember the name, and possibly have permanent brand recognition.

So what exactly do sports have that other types of sponsorships don’t necessarily offer? To view in terms of goals – sporting events have always had one definite output, and that is there is always a winner in the end. There is always competition; a test of which team or athlete will overcome the other, proving who is superior.

Gold medals, trophies, world records, global awareness are involved in sports and are the symbol of status of teams or athletes in a particular sport. Winners become popular enough to become household names, and this is what appeals to corporations who want to give out sponsorships. They want their name attached to that household name – which will in turn become a household name.

Major corporations such as Gatorade have applied this kind of sponsorship and come out as one of the most popular brands for beverage products. They attach themselves with major sporting events and give relevance by pointing out the benefit of the product to the athlete. This then sticks to the minds of consumers and sports enthusiast about which sports drink is the one to stick to.

Sports sponsorship does not only apply to major companies, but also to small businesses as well. The general idea of brand awareness is still applied and the only difference is the level or scale it covers.

All in all, organizations support sporting events with specific objectives, each of which is addressed below:
• Brand Awareness – this objective seeks to let consumers become aware of the product name.

• Brand Image – this objective attempts to create a specific style and/or personality that distinguishes a brand from its other competitors, and in turn may give premium pricing

• Consumer relations – corporations support sporting events to directly involve themselves with consumers and potential clients, proving that their company is capable of providing proper services and/or products

• Community relations – A more altruistic approach is for this objective wherein the company is concerned about the welfare of a community; and so supporting a sports event can make themselves known to the community

• Employee relations – this objective for a corporation is to promote employee loyalty that will in the long term be very beneficial to the business

Win Yourself a Corporate Sponsorship through Writing

Win Yourself a Corporate Sponsorship through Writing
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




It takes the right amount of attitude and attitude to get things done. This is also applicable in trying to attain financial backing from donors. A number of essential skills are required, and one of these is the ability to ‘sell yourself’ to land a deal.

One way of ‘selling yourself’ or your idea is through writing. Before any face-to-face meeting is established in any deal-making, there is always the preliminary of formal and matter-of-fact introduction and purpose that needs

to be done. Writing a successful letter is a very good way of getting noticed.

Getting financial backup or sponsorship by the ‘big time’ businesses is something that should not be unplanned. The skills needed in creating a winning sponsorship letter are not at all difficult, but needs an amount of thinking to be effective. Below are what to consider when writing a sponsorship letter, and will help create a positive response from the organization you have chosen.

Consider this:

You should have a variety of candidate sponsors in mind that you want backing up your event; but also consider the interest each sponsor has. Similar interests among all sponsors should be targeted. Carelessly choosing any organization to sponsor your event will most likely generate bad results.

Research is essential in choosing sponsors. Taking note of the cultures of sponsors in relevance to your business or event is important and proves helpful when addressing key issues when writing your letter.

Another important point to consider is what the company will get in return if they decide to sponsor. You should understand that sponsorship is basically give-and-take, and the appeal of gain for corporations is a key in getting them as sponsors. Money is not just thrown away by big companies so it is ideal to consider what form of exposure they will get.

Your letter’s format

In putting together your sponsorship letter, it is best to be direct to the point. No one wants to read a letter and have to guess the reason for reading it. A short pleasantry followed by the ‘asking’ part will give immediately point out what you want and eliminate any wading that will merely board the organization.

Below is a breakdown on how your letter should more or less be arranged.

First Paragraph – This part should be an introduction of your event or business and the amount of money you want donated. It is essential to keep this brief and not too much word of flattery or embellishment.

Second Paragraph – This part should be a more detailed account on the benefits of your event that you provide, such as non-profit programs and the like.

Third Paragraph – This area in your letter showcases a personals story form one of customers or clients, letting the potential sponsor see the impact you make on those who patronize your business and the kind of good it brings them.

Fourth Paragraph – In this paragraph you should state the levels of sponsorship and basically discuss what the corporation will get in turn if they decide to sponsor your event based on different financial amounts.

Fifth Paragraph – Don’t beg, but be clear on stating your need for assistance. Re-state your reason for writing, the amount you prefer to be given and how beneficial it would be to them, you and your customers.

Last Paragraph – As with most letters of request, always include a ‘thank you’ part in the last paragraph. Thank them for taking the time to evaluate and considering the letter. Also provide in this area the means for contacting you, and your intention of staying in touch by including a follow-up call.

Why Small Businesses Should Consider Corporate Sponsorship

Why Small Businesses Should Consider Corporate Sponsorship
Copyright © Jose Love


http://www.teambuildnetwork.com




It is plain to see that small business organizations outnumber that of big-time corporations. The span of small business ventures are is very wide and most often have few means of marketing due to financial constraints.

Whether the business is that of a pet shop, a small grocer, or a bookstore, there is still advertising involved.

Believe it or not, the tool that can be included in such advertising is corporate sponsorship. It doesn’t

necessarily mean that this kind of sponsorship is only made for big businesses – if that were the case, then sponsoring wouldn’t be overall effective.

It is essential to understand that capital is not the base consideration for exposure. There are many attainable opportunities in the market for small business ventures, and corporate sponsorship can prove to be a profitable investment for such.

Small business can benefit from corporate sponsorship; and below are just some of the gains that can be acquired.

What small businesses can benefit

Business visibility

As with all businesses, being known is the forefront of advertising’s use. If a business is highly visible is a steep climb, but finding means for positive visibility is even more difficult. Small businesses, due to its size, tend to become wallflowers as opposed to those big businesses and their flashy lights. With corporate sponsorship,

positive visibility is easier achieved, giving a small business the opportunity to put them in the right kind of sight.

This is only possible when the right match of between a sponsor and a business is made. A small business should align itself with a sponsor that has similar culture and ethics. If the partnership is mismatched, however, the small business can suffer greatly. So it is very important as well to consider the market trends when looking out for the right kind of corporate sponsor.

Cost-efficient advertising

Advertising is usually a big bite out of spending that is made in business big and small. It is a downside but more so for small enterprises since their funds are not that vast. Corporate sponsorship is then the tool to help in alleviating such costly means of exposure.

Businesses that are small have a chance to be exposed little by little through corporate sponsorship. It is through this sponsoring that a business is given more options on advertising cost. An example of a good and inexpensive way of exposure is through conventions.

Corporations often sponsor conventions that give small business the opportunity to showcase their products and/or services. Bake fairs, often sponsored by big-named food brands, allows people to sell their baked goods and give them the publicity they need to be known.

High status attainment

Partnering with a big time company, however small a business is will eventually attain itself a VIP status.

Aligning with an organization that attracts or has many patrons will catapult a small business into the big-time scene as well.

This analogy is akin to the thought that sticking with big names will allow others to remember you. This is most often true, and a business that affiliates itself with a productive sponsorship will experience such an effect.

Increase in profit

With popularity comes the gain that every business aims for. The more people know about a certain product or service, the more sales that business will generate. This is the reason why brand exposure is necessary – so that sales will be high.

Being sponsored by a corporation allows a small business has access and visibility to a vast number of potential consumers and clients, which will in turn increase profits. One thing to keep in mind also is that sponsorship will not only be the bases for sales increase, but also the quality of the product and/or service that is acquired by buyers.

Image improvement

In addition to having more exposure to the public and becoming more visible in the market, small business that are corporately sponsored also enhances their image. When a business is backed up by the right kind of sponsor, it only signifies that the product or service being sold is something to take a look at and is worthy of notice.
