Seven Easy Steps to Boost Your Professional Image With Adobe
Often-overlooked commands can boost sales and project a more professional image. Adobe Acrobat Distiller is one of today’s most effective tools. Using Acrobat, you can distribute attractive and easy-to-read formatted documents for free.Unfortunately, however, few take full advantage of Acrobat’s capabilities. As a result, their documents are not as effective as they could be.Here are seven easy ways to improve the image and effectiveness of your Acrobat files.1. Activate links:E-mail and web site URLs on many Acrobat files look like active links, but don’t function. Although blue and underlined, the links do not take readers to different pages in the publication, launch their e-mail program and address an e-mail, or open an Internet browser and go to a web site.After creating an Acrobat file, you must activate the links. Start by selecting the Advanced Editing Option, and use the Link tool, to outline the link, assign an action, and format the link.Then, you must remember to re-save your Acrobat publication.Most important, every time you return to the original program and make any changes and create an updated Acrobat file, you must remember to reactivate the links! Otherwise, the links will no longer function—even though they will still appear blue and underlined.2. Insert and delete pages:The full version of Acrobat Distiller permits you to insert, delete, and extract—or copy—pages from one Acrobat document to another.This permits you to create “composite” publications containing pages created

Building Downlines and Keeping Them
You know the scenario: You join some program, work your butt off to promote it, to get signups, and you feel like you`re hitting a brick wall. After a few months, you give up, and try something else, or give up completely.Know what`s missing? Active, helpful sponsors/uplines. Have you ever tried mailing your upline, only to get NO response? It`s a horrible feeling. Makes you think "Why should I bother trying to help this guy make some money??"Been in this situation? Or maybe you`re guilty of being this type of sponsor? Either way, you need to read this:I try to actively help anybody who signs up under me, no matter what. I always have done, and in 4 years of marketing, I still have mostly the same loyal people following me into any program I show them.Doesn`t matter if the program turns out to be a flop, or the best thing on earth. Those people are with me all the way, and they are fantastic!I try to promote their pages/programs, pass on signups to them etc. and at the risk of sounding big-headed: They love me for it! This is why, even if a program flops, they follow me on to the next one, because they KNOW I`ll help as much as I can.Mail your upline if you need help with anything, let them know you`re struggling. Ask for what you want. Believe me, it works wonders, and people aren`t mind readers.If you don`t ASK for help, most will assume that you`re doing just fine. If you don`t get any support from your sponsor, go higher, even as high as the program owner if you have to.I am pseudo-blonde with tech

Three Mistakes Small Business Owners Make After Incorporating
Incorporating a business has several advantages. Some of these advantages include: protecting the assets of the shareholders and officers, protecting the assets of the business from shareholder and officer’s actions, improving the image of the company, separating your personal and business credit and saving money on taxes.Each of these benefits of incorporating can easily be taken away by making any one of the three typical mistakes new corporations make. There is no guarantee that just because you incorporate all your individual assets are protected from the business. In addition there is no guarantee that all the benefits a corporation offers will automatically happen.There is some work involved on the owner’s part to put the corporation in compliance and meet specific standards of the tax agencies and the courts. The three mistakes that I often see small business owners making in this area are:Mistake #1 – No stock certificates are issued and shareholders recorded. After forming a corporation shares need to be issued to the owners of the company. Without issuing the shares, there is a potential of having the corporation veil pierced in a lawsuit because the court will claim the company is just an alter-ego of the individual.Issue shares for the business by filling out a stock certificate and recording the transaction in a stock register.Mistake #2 – The initial meeting of shareholders and directors is not held. Every corporation when it is first formed needs to have an initial meeting with the shareholders and directors

Make a Million Dollars on the Phone
Yesterday, out of the blue, I got a call from some salesman in Michigan. Nice guy, I enjoyed the chatter. He was friendly enough, listened to me blather when I thought it was someone else, and even laughed at the noisy background in my office – since I work from home. As the conversation went on, he was promising me the moon, and giving me a “curiosity pitch”.Now, I grew up on Amway, and I don’t mind telling you, I sold soap, I bought groceries with money earned from selling soap, and I sponsored people into the business to ‘sell soap’. It wasn’t a secret, and I didn’t have a problem telling my friends I had available the best soap on the market. It irritated the daylights out of me when some new guy on the block came in and started talking to my people using the ‘curiosity approach’.The salesman from Michigan wasn’t selling soap, but his lame curiosity approach hit me like a load of bricks. I made the phone call out of curiosity, but at no point during the call was I interested in purchasing his product, and particularly NOT when I found out I would be lining his pocket with $1,000 while purchasing a product for $1,499 to learn how to ‘pull in a candidate’ and line my own pocket with a $1,000 sale. Uhhh… something wrong here? Before my prospect has made a dime, I just ripped him for a thousand dollars. There’s a better way.Whatever product I sell, whether it be soap, Amway still makes the best laundry products in the world, or some other product, my objective is NOT to make a mint on a few customers, but rather to provide a quality product a
