I remember as a kid listening to a re released recording of the "War Of The Worlds" broadcast done by Orson Wells back in the 30s. I can't believe that people actually believed that we were being invaded by Mars. My mom told me stories of how cars here in Jersey, where we live, were bumper to bumper all over the roads of NJ trying to get out of the state. Hard to imagine. Well, have you heard? The Internet is going to be dead by the year 2012.

Supposedly, ISPs are going to make it so that you can only view certain content online and if you want to view all the content that's online, you're going to have to pay extra in order to do that. Now, should that ever happen, it's going to hurt a lot of small businesses because a lot of revenue will be lost because of people who can't afford to pay that extra money to view their site. How much revenue? Who knows? Depends on how many people don't pay the extra charges.

Are you prepared? For that matter, are you worried? I'm not. For one thing, I doubt that this is ever going to happen. Why? Let's say all the major ISPs start charging to view content other than the sites that they want you to view. Don't you think that other ISPs are going to pop up to take advantage of this and get the business of people who refuse to be bullied by the big companies? When this happens, the big companies are going to start losing a TON of business and will eventually realize that they have to change their terms of service.

So if you're really concerned about the Internet killing your home business, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Do I know for certain that this can never happen? Of course not. Nobody really knows what regulations will or won't take place. But worrying about it is the last thing you should be doing. Just as there are those who will pay for seeing extra sites, I'm sure merchants will be given the option to have their sites be among the premium sites that are seen by all. And if you're running a sound business, this shouldn't be any real hardship for you to do.

So don't worry...be happy.

The Internet isn't dead yet.

To YOUR Success,

Now, this does not mean that there are web designers who can magically provide the solution to sales figure woes. That would not be a completely realistic expectation. What they can do, however, is improve a website to the point where it can more optimally effect sales in a positive manner.

Here is a little advice: if you want to improve sales on your website it would be best to avoid performing the website design on your own unless you really you know what you are doing. Yes, there are many website development hosting sites that provide very user friendly website design software but this software will always be limited by the skill of the person performing the design work.

If the would be designer's skills are limited then the end result will be a poorly composed website. And, honestly, there is very little that can undermine sales that a self-defeating website. Really, if the website has limited value what good is it?

The website design should also take into consideration the fact that the site is a commercial venture. While hitting visitors over the head with an obnoxious sales pitch is not the wisest move, ignoring the fact that the website is a commercial venture is equally unwise.

When the product or service being sold is pushed into a peripheral position on the website then the website is not going to of very much value as a sales vehicle. Remember, if the sales pitch on the site is presented in a manner that is way "under the radar" then the psychological that impacts people to make purchases will be undermined. In other words, you really need to make people aware of what you are selling!

Employing solid search engine friendly design is also critical to improving a website's sales potential. Solid website designers realize this and that is why they take search engine usability into consideration when crafting the site. After all, if people using search engines (and there are tens of millions of them!) are not locating a website then they can not buy from the site. Yes, it is as simple as that.

As one can see, web development concepts designed to improve sales figures on a website are not difficult to comprehend. Often, they are simple, basic strategies that can be employed quickly and effectively.

This can be the most confusing question you have when you are looking to start a business online. It can be as many as the number of search results on google, which can add to the confusion. My suggestion is to not look online first for the answer to this most
important question but, to take your time and look within yourself for the answer.

When starting your online business select something that you have a passion for first, and if not that, then something you know about already. Everyone has something that they enjoy doing or talking about which can be the source of fuel to a successful online business.

Now that youve decided, it time to put forth the plan of action. Do I want to sell information or a product? Or do I want to do both? I suggest that you first decide one or the other but not both. Reason being is you need to focus your time and effort on just one, so as to not get frustrated or discouraged.

The easier of the two is selling information, because it is inexpensive to produce, but should be packaged not to look cheap. If you feel that you cannot produce information to sell than, and only then, should you look for information to sell that someone else produced. This can be done by obtaining the resell rights or as an affiliate of the information product.

Now is the time to do your online search to find the ideal product that you feel strongly about. When selling someone elses product you dont have to worry about having a website because in most cases they will create one for you. Your only responsibility than is to direct traffic to your site. Most importantly get started.

Bottom line, there is a learning curve that you must go through to become successful and make money online. Dont get caught up in purchasing all sorts of products and information looking for the ideal system and product. The key to online success is generating traffic. Thats a whole new article.

Animal cruelty is getting more and more prevalent today. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of it. Dog fighting, a common practice in some places is, for example is considered to be a felony in most countries. However, the punishment for such does not reflect that of a felony crime. As a result, there will always be people who will continue to neglect and abuse animals.

A lot of environmental activists and concerned people believe that the law should push stronger implementation of anti-animal cruelty laws. Stronger laws mean tougher punishments, and animal cruelty offenders need to be punished using the strongest punishment allowed by law.

Why People Abuse Animals

Most of those who show domestic violence against humans have a history of abusing animals. There are a lot of serial rapists and murderers who started out by abusing and torturing animals. When they think that they can get away with animals without any form of punishment, then they look for more challenging subjects: humans.

Statistics - Based on a 1997 study by the MSPCA and Northeastern University, 70 percent of the people who committed violent crimes against animals also had records for other crimes. When put side by side with a control group of their neighbors, the animal abusers were found five times more likely to commit violent crimes against people. Also, they are four times more likely to perpetrate property crimes, and three times more likely to have a record for disorderly conduct or drug offenses.

Most people believe that punishing animal cruelty offenders would prevent and implementing the strictest law on them would discourage more animal cruelty. Since animals can't speak for themselves, more and more people are now taking it to themselves to advance their cause in the animals' behalf.

Animal Cruelty Law in America

California law is commendable. It recognizes animal cruelty as a felony offense with a provision for mandatory counseling and prison time. Also, about 33 states and the District of Columbia now have laws that make certain types of animal cruelty a felony offense.

Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada and Maine increased punishments for this crime. Illinois increased its penalties for cruelty, dog fighting and neglect. Illinois law mandated psychological counseling for youth offenders and animal hoarders. Texas and Arkansas have dealt with the need for psychological counseling. Maine has passed a bill that has special provisions for torturing or killing an animal with the intent of intimidating or frightening a child, or forcing a child to kill an animal. Louisiana necessitates their government employees to report any incidence of animal abuse or neglect they discover while investigating child abuse of neglect.

These are all very admirable. However, there are still some states that need to impose strong punishment for animal cruelty. Remember, animal cruelty is a crime. Offenders have to be punished. Our animals' safety could depend on our involvement. It could even be our own lives at the line.

When someone asks me, "how can I start an internet business?", in return, I'm guaranteed to ask them what they're passions are. The number one thing that determines your online success is your passion for it. I stand behind this 110%. Passion should be applied to every aspect of your life, but we're going to discuss how this affects your online business and your marketing efforts. When you're passionate about your business, ideas and information seems to magically flow to you, and nothing ever appears like work. Lets go a little deeper. Your passion allows you to think illogically which is another major component to your online success. Confused yet? Let me explain. The definition of the opposite, which is logic, is this: based on earlier or otherwise known statements, events, or conditions; reasonable. So illogical is doing something that isn't based on previous events or conditions. We all like to call it creativity.

Passion contributes to your creativity exponentially. I recommend you to get your creative juices flowing and stop following the crowd. By following the crowd, you're subject to recycled information and recycled mistakes. For example, I'm passionate about marketing and making money on the internet, by resisting the act of following the crowd, led me to earn a comfortable 6 figure income. In my marketing efforts, this is what the crowd wanted me to do: learn all the strategies you can find (there are literally hundreds of them) and apply them to guarantee longevity and success in your internet business. Instead, this is what I did, I found 2 strategies that I built passion around, and mastered those. Think about this, statistics show that only an estimated 3-5% of the population make over $100,000 a year. So what's going on with the remaining 95-97 percent? It is in my opinion that they're following the crowd extensively in addition to other factors.
