Insurance Agents need a steady incoming customer base for several reasons. The most important reason is the long-term income generated from “trails” or on-going commissions from customer or the insured’s renewals. Of course, it’s also important to have an ever increasing customer base to deal with the slight attrition that happens as customers drop off the grid, move away or switch policies; either to save money or because some other agent sold them on the idea to move their business away.

This means that an insurance agent must be visible in their local markets and be seen and remembered. Indeed, this requires multiple imprints on the potential client’s brain and thus, you must be part of the scenery in their world. Grass-Roots marketing is by far the best way to do this, along with traditional advertising like newspaper, radio, and cable TV. Yes, insurance people must reference their website, which must contain important information too.

 

Some of the best grass-roots marketing are things like a business card ad in nonprofit group’s newsletters or in the local High School Booster programs. But, let me tell you about one form of advertising that works extremely well, but is hardly ever considered or tapped into.

 

Insurance agents should advertise on the back of mobile auto detailing company flyers. It works killer and the mobile detailing or mobile car wash company is glad to do this if the insurance company pays for the printing costs. It is relatively inexpensive advertising, maybe a couple hundred bucks a quarter, but it really does bring in clients. So, try it out, as this is one innovative insurance agency marketing secret that your competitors have not yet considered.

Trend Lab Diaper Bags and gifts is totally home grown. 100% owned by women in the USA this popular company began with adorable crib bedding and stylish Trend Lab baby bags knowing that Moms and Dads want a well furnished nursery. A major brand now because moms know what moms need, they have an entire line of products with a multitude of stylish and fun themes that complement the latest fashion trends.

What Trend Lab Diaper Bags Have Going For Them:

Design: For panache and flair, these baby bags are proud to carry diapers and baby bottles and don’t they let you know it! Bright, fun colors and designs.

Easy to Clean: We cannot stress this one enough. Fashionable is one thing, but how fashionable is a grubby bag holding baby’s used diapers? The cotton twill is totally drenched in PVC which allows Mom to keep baby’s things clean and sanitary easily.

Variety: Being given a choice is always a good thing. With three major sizes, shapes, and styles to choose from, there is no need to restrict your choice to just one bag fits all. Having a bag for long term, short term, and involved trips is more than just convenient. The variety allows you to keep your bags in shape better and for longer.

Stroller Straps: This feature is available for the larger Messenger bag and Bowling bag styles and is absolutely necessary. There is not one Mommy who wants to carry it all on her back alone, with no assistance. These baby bags are a blessing.

Changing Pad: To not have this would be potentially disastrous for your coat, car blanket, shawl or any other surface cover with which you had to substitute. Easy to clean and non-absorbable, it is a huge time and stress saver.

Price: We had to check twice on the price. That Trend Lab Diaper Bags are priced so low is fabulous. Fashionable and ever so practical, every Mom can afford them, not just the celebrity and fashion maven moms.

What Trend Lab Diaper Bags Could Do More:

Design: The designs are great for every day baby living, but for Moms that are on the go all the time and need to run from the park to the board room with the little one in tow, these baby bags are not as invisible as they could be. We would like to see them develop an elegant bag that the CEO Mommy could tote to the office and straight to the social event. If she needs to carry her laptop too, some additional reinforcement might be a good idea.

Dad User Friendly: The chocolate with blue messenger bag and colors similar is more Dad friendly than the pretty in pink Paisley Park Tulip Tote, but he may still feel like he is carrying Mom’s Mother Purse. More and more Dads are caring for their children on a regular basis so we feel they deserve styles that they will feel more comfortable carrying.

All in all, Trend Lab Diaper Bags has provided fun and practical baby bags for a remarkable price and are definitely worth every penny.  

Gemstones have always interested human beings from time in memorial. In the past, they were relegated to the rich and the elites in the society. They were featured in their cutlery, household assets and jewelry among other valuables. They have been passed over the years in various family lineages. Today, they still attract the same attention and are pricey. We are all mesmerized by their   unique  colors and shapes. They feature distinct mineralogy characteristics. They can fall upon various categories depending on color, cut, clarity and rarity upon other determinant factors.

What Characterizes Gems?

The stones can be categorized depending on several factors. However, typically they are grouped based on these factors;

Chemical Composition

A gemstone can comprise of one pure element or it can be a product of a mixture of several mineral compounds. Most gems contain both oxides and silicates which give them a characteristic color.

The structure of the crystal

Precious stones can be either a single crystal, a collection of massive microscopic crystals such as diamond or an amorphous compound. The crystallized stones can take many forms such as hexagonal, cubic and tetragonal among other sophisticated shapes. These kind of stones require careful cutting to ensure that the shape of the crystals is maintained.

Optical features

The optical characteristics of many gemstones are derived from their crystal structure and chemical composition. Color is one of the main feature that define gems. Most of them exude stunning hues when light shines upon them. Some will even portray a mixture of colors making them very adorable. Precious stones are also classified depending on their refractive indices. The refractive capability will vary among various minerals. Clarity is a common term when classifying gems. Some minerals have  unique  inclusions which can be crystals of other elements, gas or liquid cavities. Such inclusions help in the identification of the stones.

Specific gravity

This is defined as the ratio of a density of a gemstone relative to that of water. Some minerals such as amber floats effortlessly on salty water. Others such as diamond will sink regardless of the weight of the crystal.

Durability (Hardness)

Not every gem is resistance to breakage. Some such as nephrite are a bit soft whereas diamond is the toughest of them all. All these characteristics among others such as the availability of the mineral helps in placing the gemstones either as precious or semi precious. The hardness of a crystal can be measured by Mohs hardness scale from 1- softest to 10-hardest.

Assessment of Quality of Gems

Four factors are considered while determining the quality of gems. Color is a crucial aspect when evaluating a colored mineral. There are three qualities of color namely hue, saturation and tone. Hue is the position of the mineral on the color wheel, it can be red, black, orange, blue and such like. However, there will be variations of a single hue position such a darker and a lighter green and so forth.

Another crucial consideration is clarity. This is gauged by assessing the presence of inclusions in the mineral. Some stones will have inclusions while others do not feature any impurities whatsoever. If the inclusions are strategically placed and are few, they can enhance the beauty of the stone.

Thirdly, cut is another important quality that dictates the value of a particular gemstone. The main factors that are checked include; shape, cutting style, symmetry and finish.

Lastly, it is the carat weight. This is an essential consideration for anybody who is dealing with gems. One gram is equivalent to five carats. The price of the stone increases with the increase in the metric weight in carats.

Horoscopes

Based on the above factors, a gemstone can be precious or semi precious. Precious stones are the hardest and are rare, whereas semi precious stones are typically soft and in abundance. However, there are some variations. For instance, opals and pearls are regarded as precious although they are soft, owing to their rarity. Precious gemstones have high price tag as compared to semi precious stones.

Also they are those gemstones which relate to horoscopes. They are widely used in gemstone horoscope reading. They are nine zodiac signs namely Aries, Gemini, Taurus, Leo, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio,Libra, Sagittarius and Capricorn. Each star indicates the position of sun at the time of birth. Some of the stones that are primary stones of astrology include diamond, sapphire,emerald and ruby. According to experts gemstones can help in counteracting the negative occurrences of ones life in future. Hence, they advise that one should wear a gemstone that represents their star.

For instance, those whose zodiac sign is Leo should sport Ruby or Citrine whereas those in Aries should wear Coral. For Taurus the individuals should wear diamond and those who their star is Gemini are supposed to wear emerald. Also, Cancer should wear pearls, Libra should go for diamond and Scorpio should wear obsidian or coral. Sagittarius should sport topaz and Capricorn individuals should wear blue sapphire. Although, each person is supposed to wear a particular gemstone, one can still combine two or more gemstones to accrue great therapeutic benefits. If a person like a particular crystal but it is not their birthstone, they can still get it nonetheless.

Buying gemstones is not a smooth ride but the above information can get you a real gemstone.

There were two male birds challenging each other and trying to win the attention of the nearby female bird.

She walked away while they ‘duked’ it out. When the ‘hero’ emerged and I captured him on digital film, he was following her up the hill for a little fun and merriment and family making.

So what does this have to do with you?

Few of us are in businesses that are so   unique  that we don’t have any competition. So as a result, we’re constantly having to distinguish ourselves as different, better than, smarter than, more prestigious than, cheaper than…You get the picture. It’s a primitive battle where only the strongest survive. And it’s really hard getting deals done like that.

The key is to position yourself as the go-to expert so that your reputation raises your above the herd. When you do that, you get people seeking you out. When they seek you out, they’re already pre-sold on you. They’ve already decided they want YOU so there is less need for you to ‘convince’ them that you’re the best choice. You become a client magnet!

So how do you become that expert & client magnet? There are 3 ways to do that.

Speaking – Most people are literally scared to death of speaking in public. You’ve probably heard that when surveyed, people rate speaking in public ahead of dying as their top fear. So if you have the guts to stand up in front of a crowd (even a small one) and have your voice be heard, automatically, you’re a rock star in the eyes of the audience. Even if you’re quaking in your boots on the inside, you’ve still accomplished a mighty feat from their perspective.

Writing – Whether writing articles for a national publication or your local neighborhood periodical, having your name in print makes you look smart! Clearly the national publication will get you seen by WAY more people, but you’ll get credibility none-the-less with the readers of your work

Publicity – Being written about is even more compelling. That third party endorsement goes a long way toward building credibility. When someone with familiarity, name recognition and credibility (like a report) writes about you, their importance and credibility transfers over to you. It’s like having someone make a referral introduction for you.

I’ve been using all three of these strategies for years and now I get to reap the benefits of them. Wherever I go, people tell me “I see you everywhere!”

Can you imagine how great (and humbled) that makes me feel? Can you imagine if people were saying that about you, that you wouldn’t have to work so hard to dredge up new clients? You betcha! So start using these three magic strategies to raise your visibility, credibility and client-magnet quotient.

With the turn of the century, the means of entertainment and relaxation have been revolutionized. Video games, PC games, and console games have grown greatly in popularity. Better gaming systems, advanced micro-chips, and video enhancement and display cards clearly indicate the improving game designs, mind blowing game ideas, and spectacular levels of detail. Casual and hardcore gamers look for games that completely mesmerize them and draw them deeper into the scenario of the game. Video gaming has become so popular that organizations have actually started offering money to video gamers.

A large number of hardware companies, software developers, and game promoters employ hardcore gamers having excellent skill in the games. These gamers are commonly referred to as Pro-gamers. Pro-gamers and even teams are employed on a contract basis to represent the employer at large gaming events and tournaments. Gamers are given a sponsorship deal and the employer pays for gaming practice sessions at cafes, provides personal computers and accessories, pays for travel and lodging expenses during tournaments and so on. Some of the common games that skilled gamers can be contracted for are Counter-Strike, Quake 3, Quake 4, Starcraft, Warcraft 3, FIFA, and so on. Gaming contests for these games are held through out the year all over the world. Mega gaming events are sponsored by multinational companies such as Intel, Pepsi, Coca Cola, and so on, and may involve cash prizes for up to $400,000 for the winners.

Another way of getting paid for video games is through video game testing. Large game developers and designers require reviews and feedback about a game before finally releasing it in the market. Game testers are experts that can provide a fair view and opinion about the quality of a game, its game play and over all storyline. Developers actually employ gamers to play their video games and assess them. Game testers are paid after they complete their contract.

In today’s world, playing video games has become a viable career option.

What is a niche market anyhow? A niche market is a specialized market that has a limited and clearly defined range of products sold to a specific group of people. So when you are starting your own website or online business you want to have a specific niche to base your website around but you can’t seem to come up with anything? Well not to worry! I will show you a couple methods I have used and recommend for people just like you.

I must tell you when deciding what you are going to sell or what your website will be about, make sure it is something that you are passionate about. This is very important to the success of your website and to keep you motivated! Its much easier and fun spending time working on something that you can really wrap your arms around and get into versus going through the motions. While there are a number of different ways to make money online such as selling your own products, affiliate marketing and so on. I always suggest trying to come up with at least a couple products of your own but you can decide that later.

Here are a couple of easy methods to help you figure out what you’re niche market could be and how to narrow it down. Go to Google Keyword Search or AdWords. Now think about something or a topic that interests you, lets say for example “Gardening” type it in the space that says word or phrase.

Now also check the small box under that says “only show ideas closely related to my search terms” and do a search on it. This will give you a list of related topics or phrases generated for that one keyword. This search will then break down the related phrases and tell you how many times each one was searched per year and per month.

It will also tell you the level of competition for that word or phrase. Let’s say one of the phrases was “tips to a healthier garden” and the competition was listed as high. This means you are going to be competing potentially against several other websites on that particular phrase. Now let’s say another phrase was “how to grow a healthier garden” and the competition is listed as low or medium. This is narrowing down your niche and gives you a better chance at targeting a certain group of people and potentially lowering the competition.

Another thing I would suggest is go and do a couple searches on Google and a couple other search engines like Bing and Yahoo. Use the same method as far as using a keyword or phrase and search for websites that would be similar to what niche you are interested in. Take notice to the title of their website and the description. This is another useful method to see what some of the competition may be in that particular niche. One thing is for sure these days, if you can imagine it, it’s available on the internet! The main thing is to find something you are passionate about and are willing to put some work into, then take the time to position yourself as well as possible before just diving in. It will payoff in the long run.

Now you should have some good ideas on what niche market you may want to plan your website around. If not keep trying and playing around with the methods that I showed you. Take your time and don’t rush into things. Plan out your site and write things down. Once you put things on paper you have your own guide that will help you make the next steps. Follow your ideas and take it step by step.

To Your Success!

As usual, most things turn out to be common sense or very obvious to the Internet Marketer with experience. To some folks, especially new marketers, it’s not so easy to follow the logic which is there all the time.

Let’s take a moment to review the obvious… our priority is to have customers/clients willing to spend money with us. An ONline or OFFline business has the same challenge, buyers are needed to make profits.

1. Profitable Niche – how do you discover a profitable niche? Common sense tells us that you look around the marketplace and search the Internet to discover where people are spending money. Places where you might find new brides; husbands to be; 18 to 25 age group; deer hunters; bass fishermen; serious golfers; motorcycle enthusiasts; etc.

Some profitable niches are far too competitive for the small business person to compete. BIG companies with highly trained staff, the experienced Internet Marketers are usually deeply entrenched within the most popular niches.

Search tools are readily available to seek out niches where you can find a quality product that people are buying and the competition is fair game for you.

2. Build a LIST – your own email list [customers/prospects] is usually the KEY to long term profits once you have built a list of people that LIKE – BELIEVE – TRUST you. Most Internet Marketers give away a gift as an inducement for people to give their name and email address on a “squeeze page” with a sign up form, agreeing to future messages by email.

3. Market related products to YOUR list… your ultimate goal is to build your own list of “like minded” or “enthusiastic” people who are focused on a similar hobby, desire or obsession, where most of them spend money long-term.

To better understand the logic of our list building goal, look at your own family and their buying decisions. Look at your church friends, country club members, the Rotary club or wherever YOU spend your money and time.

Think about where people spend money with abandon, carefree, buy without much concern about the cost. $300 golf club? $200 tennis outfit? Buy a new motorcycle, $20,000+/-? Accessories for a classic car? Horse Shows? Dog Shows? There are hundreds of groups, clubs, of “like minded” people.

Home based business trainers, consultants, coaching is a huge niche where many Internet Marketers are very successful. Price points rise based on success and expertise, even with a small list.

[sidebar: $500 fee x 1,000 buyers, owners, coaching clients is BIG money for an Internet Marketing coach… more than the CEO’s salary of most corporations]

You don’t necessarily have to have a huge list to make a substantial income for yourself as an Internet Marketer. It does take some talent to make top dollar and that’s where 97% of most start up businesses fail per statistical data.

It’s easy enough to give you 1,2,3 steps but truth and experience tells us that things are never that simple or easy for any of us. It does take time, effort and learning through trial and error for most Internet Marketers.
