The Power of YouTube- How to Get Your Video Seen
A viral video can launch your brand into the stratosphere. But with all the videos out there, how can you make sure yours gets seen? While you never can predict with 100% certainty which videos will be knock-out successes, there are a few things you can do to raise your chances. Here are a few tips for making your video a viral success.Make it short. People surfing online have lightning-quick attention spans. You may be able to do a longer video if you’re showing it on your business’s website for the purpose of instructing a select group, but on YouTube, it’s got to be quick and catchy to thrive. Your video has a better chance of surviving in the cutthroat online market if it doesn’t ask a lot of time from its viewers.Make it funny (or shocking). This one should be obvious—but funny isn’t always as effortless as it looks. The most effective viral videos inspire at least a chuckle, and they generally have a surprise twist at the end. So give your viewers something they’re not expecting, and give them a reason to laugh.Shock value also gets high ratings—the idea is to do things that can’t be done on television, like off-color language, nudity, and controversy. Zoo, a Maxim-style men’s magazine, did a viral video involving a topless model shopping for underwear—which worked f

The composite highest-income practitioner reported in this field (salary plus cash bonus and/or cash profit-sharing) is the President "B" of a manufacturing firm (defined as a chief executive officer who has little or no financial interest in the firm). The firm manufactures automotive parts/accessories, food/beverage/tobacco products, chemical & allied products, or machinery & heavy equipment; has 1,000 or more employees; has a total annual revenue of $100,000,000 or more; and is headquartered in or near Denver/Colorado Springs, Houston, Memphis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Modesto/Stockton, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Indianapolis, Boston, New York City, or Dayton, or outside a metropolitan area studied in Idaho. However, while the median President "B' has a total annual income of $214,966, the highest-income individuals reported are Presidents "A" (having a financial interest in the firm) and make well over $30,000,000.

Far toward the other end of the income spectrum, Assemblers "D" have a median income of $20,418. Sometimes earning under $14,600, the lowest-paid employees in this group are employed by firms that manufacture building materials; have $1 million to $4.99 million in total annual revenue; have 5,000 to 9,999 employees; and are located in or near Greensboro/Winston-Salem, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, Dallas/Ft. Worth, or Charlotte, or outside the metropolitan areas studied in Texas, North Carolina, or Florida.

These composites represent the briefest possible "boil-down" of the voluminous data provided regarding current salaries and cash bonuses and/or profit sharing, and numerous demographic variables provided by 343 firms on over 54,000 managerial, supervisory, sales, engineering, technical, clerical, and blue-collar employees in 187 benchmark jobs which resulted in the eight-volume survey report, Compensation in Manufacturing, 24th Edition - 2004, sponsored by the National Association of Manufacturers.

Copies of the entire eight-volume report are available for $1,250.00 from Abbott, Langer & Associates, Inc., Dept. ART, 548 First St., Crete, IL 60417 (telephone 708/672-4200; fax 708/672-4674; www.abbott-langer.com) Also available is Compensation in Smaller Manufacturing Firms (under 250 employees) for $595.00. Each volume of both reports may be purchased separately. Also available is findpay-MFG04 (a computer program which permits the user to determine pay levels of each survey job on the basis of two or more variables simultaneously).

It would be an exercise in futility to attempt more than a superficial overview of the survey results in this summary. However, some overall data regarding compensation can be presented herein. In addition to the incomes of the benchmark jobs already discussed, the median total cash compensation nationally of some of the other jobs included in the survey report is:

Support comes from the people you surround yourself with, the environment you work in, and the equipment and tools that you use to run your business.1. PeopleHands down, you are the biggest cheerleader for your business. No one gets as excited about your business as you do. When you have a new idea, or are going through a rough time, it’s important to have people in your life that can relate to you. But, what do you do if no one close to you can relate to what you’re going through? If no one else in your family or your circle of friends has ever run a business, chances are, they have no idea what you’re going through. And, as much as they care about you, sometimes, it’s hard for them to know how you need to be supported.It’s important that you find people who can share in your joy, or can give you ideas when you need them. Great places to meet people are networking groups, or industry associations. There are many groups you can join online or off-line. Do a Google search on your industry and see what comes up.

Should We Believe the Experts? (Part I)
D. W. Griffith is regarded by many as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. More than anyone of the silent era, he recognized the potential of movies as an expressive medium. During that time, his achievements were momentous. In 1915 he finished the feature “Birth of a Nation,” regarded as the first masterpiece of cinema. In 1919 he finished the movie “Intolerance” (1919), which marked a new standard in filmmaking. His next two movies, “Broken Blossoms” (1919) and “Way Down East” (1920), sealed his reputation as America’s preeminent director. According to James Agee, "To watch his work is like being a witness to the beginning of melody, or the first conscious use of the lever or the wheel; the emergence, coordination, and first eloquence of language; the birth of an art: and to realize that this is all the work of one man." The great silent movie actor Lillian Gish called him "the father of film" and Charlie Chaplin called him "the teacher of us all." During the same time, D. W. Griffith also exhibited superb business instincts by founding the United Artist production company together with Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, and Mary Pickford, the three greatest performers of the day.However, from the mid to late 1920s things began to change. His intuitive powers started to wane. I

Would It Be Your Word Versus Theirs?
What evidence is there of your agreement to deliver goods/services and your client's agreement to pay?When your client's account becomes past due and they suddenly develop amnesia relating to your agreement, what would you have to support your case? You may have anything from a 5 page signed agreement that would make any attorney feel they'd earned their fee, to an invoice noting payment terms, to a sequence of emails, to a phone conversation. Whatever the documentation you have carries some level of risk. The phone conversation entails a high degree of risk compared to a 5 page signed document which carries a very low level of risk. Consider how an independent third party would view the transaction. Even if the transaction details were discussed in a phone conversation, notes such as time and date of call and specific agreements lend some weight to your case. Make plans to be paid before the transaction and improved cash flow will result.

The income relationships reported above may be distorted slightly, since some of these benchmark jobs were reported more frequently in organizations of one size, while other benchmark jobs were reported more frequently by larger or smaller organizations. This may also be true for product manufactured, geographic location, and supervisory/managerial responsibility. This possible defect is corrected in the complete survey report by reporting income for each benchmark job overall and with "break-outs" by each demographic variable.

The computer numerical controls were developed in late 1940’s and 1950’s, but were briefly preceded due to less advanced numerically controlled machines.
