If you are a Niche Health Products member, often times I post various membership problems related to graphics or minisites. Kind of like a FAQ page. In this post I have an email exchange with a member having an issue with downloading one of the minisites.

Hi Colin

Thank you for the well wishes…this constant pain is getting very old.

Hope you and your family are all well!

What file are you trying to download?

Thank you

Scott

I feel so sorry for your son….I’ll keep him in my prayers. Tell him you know someone who can relate to his suffering and pain….don’t know if it would matter to him, but I know people will look at me after all these years and think to themselves…what’s up with this guy…what’s his problem…its all in his head… I hope future medical advances can soon help your boy.

I fell asleep yesterday and then fogot all about your problem….I apologize.

I went to another computer, totally different, with no previous cache. Everything downloaded OK, I unzipped the files without a problem and I imported into Xsite without a problem….I used the #1 download for both categories.

Can you download the file…..

if no, then there could be some security setting in your browser that is creating the problem. But if you can download the other files then it doesn’t make sense. If you’re using Internet Explorer, try using FireFox for your browser…go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ and download for free

if yes….then I assume you cannot unzip the file. Make sure the downloaded file ends with the .zip extension. If it isn’t there in full try adding the extension.

What program are you using to unzip your files. If you’re using the build in windows version….go to http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm and download their free unzip program.

Also…I attached both Xsitepro versions of the minsites to this email.

Let me know if any of this helps,

Scott

Did you ever wonder how much you can get paid per click for a particular search term. In other words, if you are trying to monetize your website with Google Adsense or Yahoo’s Pay per click then you’ll want to use content, writing, that contains words that will make adds display that have a high value, or pay out the most when they are clicked.

No one really knows how much a word is going to pay…except Google. However, go to this address and type in the keyword your are thinking about optimizing your webpage for to see what google could pay. Remember this isn’t exact, but it will give you an idea what it might pay when someone clicks on it.

Heres the address  http://www.iotaweb.org/

Revolution Themes are the most professional magazine style wordpress themes….big companies like cnn and other news papers use this style.

WordPress has been much more than a “blog” management software for awhile now. Resourceful internet marketers and webmasters realized that WordPress could easily be used as an easy way to manage a “regular” content style website. Using the “Page” feature of WordPress many people began using WordPress to build Adsense-based “content” sites and other “mini- sites”. Other resourceful marketers even used WordPress for their one-page salesletter sites.

Even more recently creative minds have started to wonder WHY WordPress - a content management system with an extremely LOYAL following ­ can’t be used to do MUCH more than simple blog or journal style sites.

WordPress has come a long way….the amount of wordpress templates is amazing. Better yet the amount of free wordpress templates is even more amazing.

Another option is to consider having a custom made wordpress template. As more and more marketers begin to use wordpress as a website building and management system they are paying for custom designed wordpress sites. Even I, find myself surprised at times when visiting a website only to discover that it’s a wordpress blog. Website developers use customized wordpress blogs for content mangement systems and it becomes difficult to visually determine that the website is a blog!

Many larger news and magazine type websites use a “magazine type format” for their website. Take a look at Yahoo or CNN …. these websites are the epitome of a magazine style site….. notice how clean it looks and how easy and intuitive the navagation appears.

Did you know that you can find free magazine style wordpress templates? Of course there are some Magazine Style Templates you can purcase also. The benefit of buying a template is that it will usually be more unique and have more features….not to mention that a customized magazine style wordpress template would cost a lot more money!

Here’s some samples:

Newspaper & Magazine Style themes for WordPress
WP-Glory 1.0

A very attractive Wordpress Newspaper/Magazine style theme. Relatively fairly priced at $59
for personal use and $159 for a developer license.

Simplicity 1.0

————————

Also, a bit less sticker-shock here for those not looking to spend too much cash. Personal use
$19, developer license $119.

Solostream 4.0
————————

The Morning After Theme

A very professional look and is run by wordpress….still FREE at time of this post!

This is an excellent resource for those looking to build their own news or magazine site.
Simple customization can be done pretty easily by WordPress newbies and those with some
background or experience can really do some cool things with just a little creativity with this
theme.
————————

Here is one really cool template by Cory Miller called News Pixel it actually comes in 2 colors, however, it isn’t free. One compaint I have is that I don’t like either color, but perhaps Cory could be coherced into developing a few other color options….something more on the business side, light great and black…maybe some maroon.

Great site to visit, he is on the cutting edge of the news/magazine style template of wordpress templates and offers single user licenses along with developers. Honestly, my mind is realing when I consider the opportunity for developing sites for clients…..well worth checking out.
————————

I’ve got some more examples I can share a little latter…however, I put together a fantasic deal on a customized template package that comes with Master Resell Rights and is in the magazine format. Not only can you use these for yourself….you can use them to build a list or develop you own Wordpress development business for clients.
————————

So…..I’ve offered you some free versions, customized paid solutions and my own package.

OK…you’re watching a video online but you don’t have time now to finish watching the video….how to download a streaming video? Let’s back up.

Unless you’ve been living in a hole, you know that 2007 was the year of online video. Video sites have popped up all over. Meetings are held in one office connecting 1000’s of others through video. The best way to explain software or any type of computer related item is through screen capture video. And of course we all put snippets of video or entire video segments on YouTube.

The Internet has gone through so many changes in the past years.

However, some things have become very integrated into the way we use the Internet in our daily lives. One example of this is social bookmarking. Some of the biggest, high traffic sites are social bookmarking sites that allow people to vote for the stories, news, and videos that others should see.

Another example of something that has become very integrated into our Internet lives is video. In fact more and more of the links from these social bookmarking sites are pointing to videos. Some industries are worried about all this video entertainment available on demand at any time and have been reluctant to embrace it. But the truth is that Internet video has captured the hearts and eyes of the world and it is here to stay.

Video is no longer used just for entertainment any more but more and more people are using it for sharing information, teaching, and promoting subjects in ways where words just are not enough.

However, there are still some things that need to be worked out in regards to enjoying all this video entertainment. Sometimes you go back to a web site where you have seen a video and the site is no longer working. Sometimes the web site is working but video is not working. Maybe you just forgot to bookmark the site and can not find it again. If your internet connection is down then none of that matters.

Or maybe your favorite internet marketer puts up a special video for only a couple of days…you might really like the video and want to view it at a latter date….what can you do if it’s no longer there?

In short you could just download the video….right?

Well there is a simple way to solve all of the above problems. The solution is to download videos from the web site on to your hard drive. Actually there is only one problem with this solution. The problem is that more and more people are starting to use a new Flash video creator named Camtasia and unfortunately you can not right click on the video to download it. And YouTube along with other video sharing sites use FLV which cannot be downloaded simply.

Fortunately there are some smart people out there who recognized this as a problem and have decided to do something about it. Yes, now you can download all those new Camtasia videos that everyone is starting to use. Having your own video library is possible with the Flash Video Downloader.

I’ve been using Flash Video Downloader to download videos from the interent for over a year now. With each upgrade Flash Video Downloader gets better and better. The best part is that I can download videos for my own viewing and with permisson from the original video owner, I can use the videos on my own websites. Or I can edit the video’s and use them to submit to YouTube and other video submission sites. It’s important to always get permission from the video owner before using a video to publish for your own purpose.

I highly recommend Flash Video Downloader if you’re on a dial up modem and just can’t get video’s to play. Just use Flash Video Downloader and download your desired video at night.

I have a high speed cable modem and can download a 30 minute camtasia screen capture video in 10 minutes or less.

Give Flash Video Downloader a try…..there’s a money back guarantee!

How to Make More Money With Information Products Than Ever
Before By Using Three Powerful NO COST Tools

Small Reports Fortune

……………………………

It’s all under your control.

If you sell information products and want to make more money with them, there’s good news:

It’s all under your control.

That’s right, you can make more money with your information products simply by doing something that you have
the power to do.

It’s not dependent upon anyone else. It’s up to you.

Let me explain …

While there are a lot of different aspects of selling information products, there are really only two ways
to make more money with them …

Sell More
Refund Less

Really, it’s pretty much that simple.

In order to make more money with information products you need to either SELL MORE or REFUND LESS.

Or, better still, do BOTH.

Now, in the many years I’ve been selling information products, I’ve found there are three powerful tools
that will help you do just that.

You can use these three tools to SELL MORE by using them on your classified ads, solo mailings, sales
letters, autoresponder messages and virtually any sales tool.

You can also use these three tools to REFUND LESS by applying them to the information products you create.

Care to find out what they are?

Read on …

*** Three Powerful Tools ***
What makes these tools so powerful is a combination of important benefits

* They don’t cost a penny to use.
* They work over and over again.
* They are under your control.

In fact, you already have them.

These three powerful tools are WAYS TO USE WORDS.

Tool #1. Education. When it comes to information products, nothing comes close to the power and
profitability of educating your readers.

I’m talking the distance between the planet Pluto and the computer screen you’re now staring at.

Not even remotely close.

Content is king. Nobody else gets to wear the crown or sit on the throne. Content rules the land of
information products.

So, first things first, you gotta give your readers information that educates them. You gotta teach them
something.

Do this in your promotion tools (ezine articles, reports, sales letters, etc.) and you’ll have readers
thinking “This person knows something … I better take a closer look.”

You’ll SELL MORE.

Educate customers in your information products and show them how to produce results in their own lives and
you’ll make them happy, satisfied customers.

You’ll REFUND LESS.

Tool #2. Entertainment. To be completely honest, it’s not enough to solely provide content. Even if it’s
good content, that won’t always get the job done.

Think of it this way: your high school civics teacher provided you with (too much) content in a single 55-
minute class, but would you really buy anything from him?

Maybe a hall pass or a set of earplugs, but that’s about it. :o)

Nobody likes to read BORING content. We turn off boring television programs, we fall asleep reading boring
books and we keep our credit cards tucked firmly inside our pockets when we read boring sales letters, ezine
articles, solo mailings or special reports.

Make it fun. Make it entertaining. And you can do that by using …

* Illustrations
* Funny stories
* Analogies
* Outrageous statements

I once wrote an article entitled “I’ll Swallow A Live Grasshopper If This Doesn’t Boost Your Website
Traffic”.

Do you think anyone read it?

Ask yourself this: would YOU like to read it?

We love to have a good time, and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t apply that reasoning to your writing.

Keep readers interested as they consume your promotion materials by entertaining them.

You’ll SELL MORE.

Help customers enjoy reading page after page of your product by entertaining them.

You’ll REFUND LESS.

When you add entertainment to education, you’ll make more money with information products …

… faster than you can say “ “LIVE GRASSHOPPER.” :o)

Tool #3. Emotion. Whether it’s outrage over an injustice, excitement over a success or piqued interest
over a possibility, our emotions drive us.

Few decisions are based on intelligent analysis, but rather on emotional response. Few actions are based on
accurate data, but rather on impulsive feelings.

We are emotional people. And there is no stronger proof of that than to watch what we do and to listen to
what we say.

Your job is to get us emotional. Fill us with hope. Empower us. Give us courage. Motivate us. Issue a
challenge. Inspire. Get us to do something.

That’s what we really want. More than education, more than entertainment – we want someone to compel us to
do something to make our lives better.

And the power and profits go to the ones who can do that.

Fill readers with hope and expectation with your marketing materials.

You’ll SELL MORE.

Give your customers confidence and enthusiasm as they read chapter after chapter of your information
product.

You’ll REFUND LESS.

*** Conclusion ***

If you want to make more money with information products, then you CAN do it. You’re in charge. It’s under
your control.

Education.
Entertainment.
Emotion.

Three powerful tools that lead to incredible profits.

But, only if you use them.

Some will read this article and discard it like they have done with countless others.

And some will get busy.

I think you’ll be one of the few who will make more money.

Prove me right.
