Million targeted FREE visitors to his websites …and how anyone can do
the same!" Article – The Asian Factor - Tip of the Iceberg By Kevin Sinclair Something new happened in mid-2006 – five out of the top ten websites listed by Alexa (based on traffic for the previous three months) were Asian. Four of those were Chinese. This is hardly surprising, given roughly half the world’s population lives on the planet’s largest continent. By percentage, however, they remain a relatively new force, one whose online presence will only continue to grow as more people gain Web access. One interesting side note is that most of the Chinese sites also are available in English; some have even enabled phonetic search entries using English letters rather than Chinese characters. This could be recognition of English as the lingua franca of the Internet – or perhaps those webmasters are simply taking the lead in website internationalization. While the dominance of Internet English has encouraged millions to learn or enhance their knowledge of it, anyone truly seeking a global customer base must find a way to provide their sites – whatever the original language – in at least two and perhaps five of the most common languages. Today that is largely done with machine translation, which is far from perfect and can lead to serious misunderstandings. But the vast majority of netrepreneurs are small shops without the resources to hire human translators; without a multilingual site, however, they are leaving money on the table and millions of potential customers in the dark. According to various industry sources: While there are a lot of claims made for the accuracy and efficiency of machine translation, most experts agree the current state-of-the-art – at least, for public use on websites at affordable rates – is about 70 percent. That means nearly one-third of everything on a website will be mistranslated, with a fairly predictable result. Which is not to say webmasters should completely reject machine translation. If an accurate human translation is beyond the budget, finding and applying the best machine translation available still puts that site well ahead of one that is available only in a single language. For one thing, someone seeing it in his or her native language can probably figure out most of what is intended; perhaps more important, it demonstrates the owner of that site cares enough to make the effort. And appreciation for that could well translate into customers and subscribers who otherwise might never have seen the site, much less stayed. Webmasters should not assume that a human translation, no matter how expensive, is going to be a perfect solution, either. Many companies offering these services are based in countries where labor is cheap and the translator almost certainly is not fully fluent in both languages involved. Which is not to say that person does not, in fact, have a good command of the non-native language in question, just that it requires years of reading, writing and interacting with native speakers to fully understand the intricacies of any language. This is perhaps most obvious in observing the difficulties natives from different Spanish-speaking nations often have in understanding each other. For that matter, the same can be said of those who speak English as their native tongue, but with cultural, national or regional differences. Americans from the Deep South and from the New York Bronx have been known to stare at each other in complete lack of understanding as local slang and accents make the other’s English practically a foreign language. The obvious source for translation services – human and machine – is the search engine. What a search engine will not provide, however, is any indication of how accurate either service may be. The only proof there will be to request a sample translation – then take it to someone who is fluent in that language – and ask for a list of other sites using their service (then e-mail those webmasters for feedback). With the rise of the global Internet, the world has truly become decidedly smaller in little more than a decade, to a far greater extent than the previous changes brought on by aircraft, radio and television. And due to the dominance of English-speaking nations in those areas – as well as movies and the Internet itself – there has been a tendency, even among those who pride themselves on being at least bilingual, to assume everyone online understands English. And, more often than not, American colloquial English. While that is truer today than at any other time in history – more true than with any previous language in history – those truly seeking to reach the world with their message or product need to take a wider view. In many cases, perhaps most, that does not mean providing for a host of translations; two or even three carefully chosen languages, may be enough to reach more than 90 percent of the target audience. Each webmaster or site owner will need to make that judgment. Nor does this apply only to the majority of sites now displayed only in English. It also is true for those written in Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Swahili, French, Italian, German – or Outback Aussie. As the Internet continues to expand into more and more homes and businesses around the world, the need for multi-lingual websites will become more and more prominent. And the opportunities for companies providing solid translation services – and for individuals with true multi-lingual fluency – will grow along with it. Revealed!

By Kevin Sinclair If you really want to start a Web-based business, but really don't know where to start, then listen up. If you have no product of your own, the best thing that you can do is investigate affiliate programs. What is an affiliate program? It's basically a commission-only sales arrangement. Someone with a product or service will offer to let you sell it for them in exchange for a cut of the selling price. Typically with a hard product you'll be lucky to get 10% commission on sales. The good news is that downloadable products such as ebooks and software will often pay you 50% of the sales price as an affiliate - you can even find deals where you get 75%. If you're just starting out you are certainly advised to begin your affiliate selling career by selling downloadable products because they are the ideal in our 'instant gratification' society. Your customers don't have to wait around after paying their money they can immediately download their purchase over the Internet. If you go to www.clickbank.com, you'll find they have several thousand different downloadable products you can sell as an affiliate, and the majority offer you at least 50% commission. Signing up is a simple one-time process and you'll then be able to use your Clickbank ID to sell any of the products in their online catalogue. You can browse the Clickbank catalogue by subject area to find something that interests you. In any given subject area you will usually find that there are several related products that you could sell from a tightly-focused Website where you could set up pages to pre-sell the products you have selected and then place a link that your customers can click on which will take them to the affiliate site to place their order - and if they do that, you get your commission. One of the best types of site you can build using the above ideas is a review site. Set up some simple pages on your Website comparing and contrasting the features of several related products that you've picked out to sell. All you really need to do is go along to the vendors Website which will basically be a sales page for their product. Here they'll list the features and benefits of their product. You can adapt this information to highlight the similarities and differences between two or more of the products to help your customers to choose which product would be the most suitable for their own particular circumstances. What is the easiest type of Website you can set up to achieve the above? You've probably heard the buzz by now surrounding blogs and blogging. One of the main reasons blogs are recommended for setting up tightly-focused niche topic Websites is that they are usually easier to get traffic to from a standing start than conventional Websites. Another good reason for choosing a blog as your site-builder of choice is that they are comparatively easy to set up if you're a Website building novice. Once you've carried out some pretty basic setting up, the software behind the blog handles most of the major house-keeping chores, like making sure all of your pages are properly linked together. All you have to do is to keep adding on-topic content regularly. Two good choices if you want to experiment with blogs for your niche affiliate review sites following the above model are WordPress and Blogger. WordPress is free open source software that resides on your own Web server - so you'll need some hosting of your own if you want to go this route. This is certainly the preferred way to go because if you've got your own domain name and hosting you'll present a more professional image to your customers. You will also have more control over the look and feel of your site. If you are a complete novice and you just want to test the waters to see if this niche marketing with affiliate sites thing is for you, then the cheapest (free) way to get involved is to go to www.blogger.com, sign up for a free account and make use of the free Blogspot hosting. Whichever blogging route you choose, once you have your blog set up, just put your review articles on it comparing and contrasting the affiliate products you've chosen, as detailed above. To bulk out the content on your blog, just look around the Net for news items and information on the subject area you've chosen and write some articles based around these. Once you have one blog set up with a decent amount of content on it, just rinse and repeat. Find some more subject areas that interest you and put more blogs together on these subjects, based around better affiliate products that you can promote. There are people out there right now who are making very good money using nothing more than these, and similar, ideas. How will you know whether you could join them if you don't give it a try?

We all have it within us to be happy, but often we get so caught up in everyday life that we neglect important parts of ourselves that bring us contentment and even joy. Happiness begins with understanding that we are multi-dimensional creatures operating on four distinct levels: physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual. When all four dimensions are working in harmony it is much easier to achieve a state of inner peace. The Four Dimensions The 4 Dimensions are equal in importance but impact our lives in very different ways. Learning the purpose and qualities of each helps you understand yourself and others more clearly and gives you insight into how you can improve your happiness quotient. Physical Dimension This dimension helps us experience life through our senses, body and the energy around us. Our health, appearance and ability to enjoy play, exhilaration and pleasure reside here. When we nurture our physical being we are better able to deal with health issues, body image, stress and various stages of life like child-rearing, career building, midlife and retirement. It’s also possible to build “happiness memory” just as you build muscle memory by being aware of how your body feels when you’re content and then making a conscious effort to recapture that feeling. Intellectual Dimension This dimension rules our minds and allows us to reason, apply logic, appreciate precision, quality and performance. It also allows us to learn, accumulate knowledge, make rational decisions and bring order to our lives. All of this is good, but many of us spend too much time in our intellectual being. Thinking about work, planning or thinking about the past and the future can overwhelm us. When this happens it’s hard to appreciate the moment and we miss many opportunities to experience happiness through our other dimensions. Emotional Dimension Probably the most challenging of the dimensions, this heartland governs our relationship with ourselves and others. A healthy emotional dimension allows us to be self-assured, confident and understanding of others’ emotions. It also helps us establish and maintain fulfilling relationships. Too often we dwell on negative emotions and this causes us to block out all the good we can receive from the other dimensions. Spiritual Dimension While most people think of spiritual as meaning religious, in dimensional terms it refers to our conceptual selves. It governs our belief systems and inspires creativity and passion. When our spiritual dimension is given its due, we see the world outside ourselves more clearly, open up to creative expression and access the positive characteristics of the other dimensions more easily. When you allow yourself to play and enjoy the sensory side of life, engage and disengage your mind at the right times, connect with yourself and others and find meaning through beliefs or creativity you will experience a life of greater harmony—a life that is truly priceless. --------------------------------------------------- Your ad could be here!
