New Exciting Writer and Publishing Services

AICIM has launched an exciting new free site for writers and publishers. The new site is Article-Publicity.com featuring a robust user interface and professional look. There will be hundreds of articles and book reviews to search through. There are easy e-zine additions for the newsletter publisher too!

New Mexico, November 14, 2006 – Tag Craig and Ted Williamson are delighted to announce the launch of their latest web site, article-publicity. Tag Craig is the founder and owner of several highly successful web sites and Ted Williamson is a graphic designer. The new web site is the latest addition to the AICIM portfolio of highly successful web sites, and is the first to be a joint venture between the UK and the USA. “We fully expect article-publicity.com to become just as popular a site for writers and publishers to use as am-nuke is for web developers.” said an enthusiastic Mr. Craig.

Writers will be able to post articles to the site to be picked up and used by all sorts of publishers looking for content for their publications, while publishers will be able to select from thousands of articles that are ready for immediate use.

Mr. Williamson said, “We have an international team of professional writers, that makes this new site different from the dozens of other sites out there, so that even if someone does not have an article written, we can do that for them. Our writers have a wide range of knowledge and are also accomplished researchers, so there is no subject they can’t write about.”

Anyone who writes an article for the site can choose to have their article proofread by one of the staff to ensure it is correctly formatted for instant use by publishers. “We believe this is a very important service to offer.” said Mr. Craig.

“Publishers don’t want to have to proofread articles they want to use. This wastes their time, and it also makes the writers look unprofessional which won’t enhance their reputation.” he added.

Another thing that makes article-publicity.com stand head and shoulders above the multiplicity of similar sites is that short story writers can use the site to publish their work. “Most article hosting sites only allow writers to submit work with a maximum word length of around 3,000 words. We’ll be letting writers submit stuff up to 8,000 words in length. This means that they can get a complete short story published, instead of only an extract.” said Mr. Williamson.

Writers will be able to bid to have their articles or books get an enhanced position on the site to increase their chances of their work being used, although they will always be able to submit their work free of charge. “We think this idea will prove to be highly popular among writers.” said Mr. Craig.

“If an author wanted to get their works into print using traditional publishing methods, either they have to hawk it round different publishing houses which can prove endlessly disappointing, or they have to pay a considerable sum to have it privately published. We think that the modest fees we charge will not be a disincentive to aspiring authors since they can see their work prominently displayed on our web site almost instantly.” continued Mr. Craig.

One of Mr. Craig’s other web sites achieved a page ranking of 7 within a few months of being launched. “I have every confidence that our new web site will prove equally popular and will probably achieve a higher page ranking even sooner than my other sites.” concluded Mr. Craig.

The new site is with a News service and a ForumBusiness Management Articles, with the main site opened on November 9th .

Aromatherapy: How and When to Use Essential Oils

To repeat where we are, my sweetie (my wife June) had breast cancer a few years ago and we opted 1) to have a lymph-ectomy (mistake) and later 2) radiation (good decision). Regardless of whether it was a mistake we did it and the result is that she has to be very careful about not injuring her right arm. Last summer and fall she burned herself on our oven three times, one of them very seriously. There are other articles covering where else we have gone, but this is on how and when to use Aromatherapy.

Remember the effect of the Lavender oil? She happened to go on an outing with several girl friends right after the bad burn and in talking it over with them they decided to put therapeutic-grade lavender essential oil on the burn. She could feel it healing immediately and in spite of this being a large burn (2” x 6”) it healed with only a very small scar, about the size of a half-quarter (like a half-moon shape).

Needless to say, we are sold on the “therapeutic grade of essential oils from Young Living. They can be used in several ways, very effectively. These methods of use, or application, are: 1) Apply the oils directly to the bottom of the feet (more on this as we go on), 2) apply the essential oil directly to the bruised or wounded area, 3) diffuse your essential oils into the air, and 4) add certain “edible” essential oils to water or food for both exotic and exquisite flavorings.

1) In the Orient they have been using acupuncture and acupressure for centuries, perhaps millennia? What is perhaps more surprising is that essential oils, when applied to the bottom of the foot, are absorbed rather quickly into, and dispersed throughout, the body. As a liquid they are also immediately used by the body as anti-whatever and begin their healing actions almost immediately. Because they are “pure” – therapeutic grade – there is nothing within the compound to hinder the healing effect, nor to slow it.

2) Apply the essential oil directly to the bruised or wounded area. As in the example of the Lavender applied directly to the burn, apply Lavender or Melaleuca oil directly to the cut, scrape or bruised area. This will provide maximum relief directly to the affected area, where it is needed most. But be careful of the oils you use in this manner. When using spearmint, for example, keep it completely away from the eyes; it can cause severe itching and burning and lead to blurred vision for several hours.

3) Use a diffuser and diffuse your essential oils directly into the air you breathe. You will need to have a very good diffuser, such as the one available from Young Living, in order to do this more effectively. We have used several but discarded them all. Only the Young Living diffuser seems to literally radiate the oil scent throughout our home, but to do it efficiently. It costs about $100 US but it has proven many times worth it.

4) You can add add certain “edible” essential oils to water or food for both exotic and exquisite flavorings. Such “spiciness” will enhance your cooking and enhance the therapeutic (medicinal) value of your foods as well. You cannot use all essential oils in cooking so it might be prudent to purchase one of Young Living’s “how to” books. They can be ordered directly from the web site.

Finally, all the good health and good nutrition and exquisite flavorings in the world will not make you healthy if your body cannot use the nutrients you are feeding it. Good digestion is the basis for good health. Without good digestion most of the nutrients in your body are going to waste – you might as well have a gigantic tapeworm siphoning off your food. In order to enhance your digestion you should also be using, at least periodically, a proven organic greens product as a digestive aidScience Articles, one such as Bio 88+ (Plus).

Book Value Lookup Tools for Online Booksellers – Which is Best?

Online booksellers traditionally used their cell phones, an Internet connection, and a third-party lookup service to determine the value of a book before purchasing it for their inventory. Now, there is a new critter available that requires no Internet connection, and some online booksellers are in a quandary with respect to which type of service to use.
It was only about a year ago that online booksellers had but one high-tech solution to look up book values; they could subscribe to wireless lookup services to gain a competitive advantage using an Internet enabled cellular phone. Recently some creative third-party service providers figured out how to put everything into a database so that there was no reliance on an Internet connection. Now online booksellers that are just getting started in the business face deciding on which type of service is best for them to use.

There are definite advantages to both systems. An Internet connection and cell phone will assure you of having the latest and greatest information available for a specific title, but you have that cell phone connection leash to deal with. If you plan to attend a large book sale and do not have the experience to be comfortable with choosing the gems to buy, you probably want some sort of service to help you. However, if you intend to use a cell phone service you will be left in the dust by others that use a database service to look book values up at a rate of ten or more times faster than you.

The database services require a PDA (or possibly a radically enhanced cell phone) with sufficient memory to store a database of book values, usually on the order of 200MB or less. With one of these devices, you can enter an ISBN (either via a keyboard or laser scanner) and get an almost immediate display of the book's value and its sales rank. Some of the services even have other features that allow you to set threshold values for the books you are scouting so that you can wear an earphone to hear a cash register ring for the books you want to buy and some other not so cheerful tone for the firewood you want to pass on. The biggest disadvantage to the PDA and database system is convenience. Book values change dynamically and this means you must regularly update your database by downloading a new database from the service provider. There is also the issue with respect to books that do not have an ISBN because this is the means of lookup for the PDA and database system. This means you have to pass on all books without an ISBN, take your chances and buy some, or have an Internet lookup service too.

The cell phone lookup system, using a third-party lookup service is much slower, but if you have the Internet service on your cell phone, you can go to multitudes of other websites to look up books that do not have an ISBN.

From my perspective, if you are looking to get into online bookselling as a prime source of income or just to remain competitive and make efficient use of your scouting time, it is probably best to have both. On the other hand, if you just want to be an online bookseller for a supplemental income, or if you just want to try online bookselling without making the investment in a PDA/scanner combination, the Internet enabled cellular phone lookup service will suffice for most book scouting adventures.

The questions you really need to ask yourself as an online bookseller are:
Do I want this business to grow into a full-time source of income?Do I have the time to spend scouting and waiting for an Internet enabled cellular phone lookup service?Can my online bookselling business justify the expense of a PDA and possibly a scanner, as well as a database lookup service?Do I really want to jump in with both feet and make an investment in the best tools for my online bookselling business, or should I start on a shoestring until I know whether this business is for me.

There is a lot to be said for having all the right tools for successPsychology Articles, but you do not need to own a hospital to dress a scraped knee.

Although affiliate marketing is touted as one of the easiest and most effective ways to earn money online, it is not as easy as it sounds. The wise affiliate marketer plans every action and executes it the best way he can. He should also maximize the potential to earn by utilizing the right tools necessary for a successful Affiliate Marketing business. We have consulted some of the most successful affiliate marketers in the business and below are the top three necessary tools for a successful affiliate marketing business.

Important Tool #1: Your Own Website
The most important and indispensable tool in Affiliate Marketing is your own website. The first step in any successful affiliate marketing business is building a good, credible and professional looking website. Your website is the jump off point of all your marketing efforts. Thus, you must first build a user-friendly website, which will appeal to your prospects and encourage them to click on the links to the products and service you are promoting and make a purchase. Therefore, you must first concentrate your efforts in building a website that will cater to what your prospects need.

The most important thing you should consider is that almost all web users go online to look for information, not necessarily to go and buy something. Above all else, make your website full of original, relevant and useful content. People will love articles that are appealing and helpful. Keep in mind that, in the internet, content is still king and good quality content will not only build your credibility, it can also help you achieve a higher search engine ranking. By posting relevant and useful articles, you establish yourself as a credible expert in the field, making you a more trustworthy endorser of the product or service you promote. Establishing a good reputation is a good step in building up a loyal consumer base.

Important Tool #2: Incentives
Competition is extremely tight in the internet world. You must always be one-step ahead of your rivals to ensure that you capture a significant share of your target market. Therefore, you must use every possible means to encourage people not only to visit your site but also to click and proceed to the websites of the products and services you are promoting. Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. Offer a newsletter or an e-zine. Better yet, offer incentives to your prospects to encourage them to subscribe to your newsletters. You can present free softwares, access to exclusive services and other freebies that will be helpful to your prospects.

Important Tool #3: Link Popularity
The importance of driving highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be emphasized enough. The all-important web traffic is at the top of the list of the most important entities in the internet world. Attracting people to your site should be the first step you should carry out. Do everything to achieve a high search engine ranking. Link Popularity is one of the factors that search engines use to determine search engine rankings. Therefore, to enhance your link popularity, you must launch an aggressive reciprocal link campaign.

One of the best ways to do this - at no cost at all - is by submitting articles, with your website's link at the resource box, to e-zines and free article sites. You will not only gain exposure, you will also have the opportunity to advertise for free, just include a link back to your site. The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity is. Make your articles original, relevant and useful so that more websites will pick it up and post it.

“I Finally Discovered The Secret To FREE Content No One Else Has!”

There are many tips and techniques to increase your search engine ranking. One of the most powerful, yet simple method is sharing content, as in, writing articles that you then feed to article directories. Done right, this technique will improve link popularity, and drive an enormous amount of targeted traffic to your offer.

Article writing can become a tedious, mind-numbing experience, for a number of reasons. One of the biggest hurdles is gathering content that is fresh, valuable, and not easily accessible. Yet, it is tremendously compelling to your target market. Where do you find this kind of information?

Corporate web sites!
I’ve used this technique for several niches, and it’s fairly simple to do. This also works well for product creation, which I’ll explain in a moment.

You are going to do a little digging at first, but once you repeat this process, it becomes fairly simple. Find the corporate web site for the companies that make the products your target market is buying or have an interest in. You might have to do a little ‘link dancing’ to find them.

Once at their site, look for the “press room or media center.” There, you will find current and past press releases or white paper releases full of fresh, valuable, and not easily accessible content. (because your competition doesn’t know where to look for it)

What is a white paper? ..Here, let me give you the corporate answer to that question:.White papers are documents released by companies, organizations, and government agencies to authoritatively describe products, technologies, and policy. Though a white paper is not necessarily an unbiased report, it will typically provide a more detailed overview than press releases and many other forms of documentation.

White papers CAN be book length long...with nuggets of great content you can use for article writing, your e-zine, or to create an information product geared toward your specific niche. Just dive in and look around. Each press release or white paper, always has contact information included.

Most will mention a person in the corporation to contact for additional information..(are you getting any ideas?)...teleseminar?....an ebook?...a special report?...which you can use as a lead generator, or as a bonus to compliment an existing product you are already marketing (affiliate products). Their credentials will establish even more credibility for you in your customer’s eyes.

I’m confidentHealth Fitness Articles, you can think of numerous ways to utilize this FREE information... found in corporate web sites... to write articles or many other uses...in your quest for improving link popularity and driving targeted traffic to your site.
