John Reese Report

by Frank Scott

What is the difference between a single unit franchise and a master franchise? Single unit Franchising is the most common and direct form of franchising where an individual is required to invest in establishing and operating one location using his own hands-on skills. In a Master franchise relationship the investor obtains the rights for a specific country or region, empowering the master franchisee to provide the full range of products and services of the franchisor through sub-Franchising, in just the same way that the franchisor runs its own business.It would probably be cool if individuals could buy a single pixel each, in practice, it wouldn’t so effective.

What is Business Format Franchising? In business format franchising, the franchisor licenses the franchisee to use and/or sell the franchisor’s product, goods, service and trademark and use its business technique. The franchisor also teaches the franchisee the entire business format including marketing, selling, inventory, accounting and personnel procedures. Furthermore, the franchisor provides support via training and communications for the duration of their business relationship.The idea is simple: to try and make money by selling 1,000,000 pixels for $0.25 each. In all honesty, my main motivation for doing this is to raise money for my kids’ college funds, allow my wife to go back to school, and generally supplement our income.

Why do I have to follow the franchisor’s standards? By following the franchisor’s business practices and meeting its standards, franchisees can consistently provide customers with quality goods and services which guarantees uniformity of operating procedures and even sales techniques, which in its turn strengthen the corporate image of the franchised stores and provides the franchisees with an opportunity to focus on increasing sales and profit levels.

What is the difference between a master franchisee and an area developer? In a master franchise relationship, the franchisor grants the right to an indigenous business entity or individual (master franchisee) who must understand and develop the business concept in the host country or region, establish a number of successful and profitable operating units and grant franchise rights directly to indigenous franchisees through sub-franchising.Simple location criteria for a retail store location for example, must include good population density, good visibility of the store from distance, easy accessibility, reasonable annual rent, good businesses clustering, sufficient foot traffic, potential growth & development, presence of land marks, major trades and famous brand names.

What is the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular – (UFOC) ? Disclosure Document? A statement of information revised to the current fiscal year that reveals to the potential franchisee information pertinent to the franchise and the franchisor.In business format franchising, the franchisor licenses the franchisee to use and/or sell the franchisor’s product, goods, service and trademark and use its business technique. The franchisor also teaches the franchisee the entire business format including marketing, selling, inventory, accounting and personnel procedures. Furthermore, the franchisor provides support via training and communications for the duration of their business relationship.Whether you are interested in cars or trucks, foreign or domestic, we are your place. Advertise your parts or accessories for Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, or whatever make and model your automobile. I take your privacy as seriously as mine. I guarantee I will never share or sell your contact information or email address with anyone.

Why do I have to pay marketing and/or advertising fees/levies? Building recognition is an essential and ongoing objective of any franchise system and is designed to benefit everyone involved in the franchise relationship. It is important to understand that marketing contribution by the franchisee must be fully used to the benefit of all franchisees and therefore is not considered to be true income to the franchisor.Franchising means spreading the risk through multiplying the number of locations through other investors. That means faster network expansion and a better opportunity to focus on changing market needs, which in its turn means reduced competitive effects.

Watching Movies On Zune

by Rashel Dan

Microsoft has released one of the best devices on the market, the Zune Player. With it, one can enjoy the experience of watching movies on Zune anytime, anywhere. The Zune is a multimedia player that does more than allow one to view video clips.

Multimedia Player – It can also hold music, display all sorts of pictures in various formats, and there is also software and games designed specifically on the platform. However, it is watching movies on its large and beautiful screen that affects consumer decisions the most when they are in the market for a new mp3 / video player. Let’s take a look at the advantages of owning a Zune as a video player.

Screen Estate

Wide Screen – One of the highlights of the Zune player is its 240×320 pixel screen that is so large that you don’t have to strain your eyes when you are watching a video clip or a movie. This is one of the largest screens on a portable mp3 / video player in the market.

The 3-inch screen is brightly lit and if you were to download or convert a DVD onto this device, the quality would be no different than if you were watching on a television screen. The crisp and clear display is something that many Zune owners look forward to whenever they use this device.

Availability Of Videos

Zune Formats – Another advantage of the Zune player is that it can play video in one of three formats: MPEG4, WMV, and MOV. These are the major video formats and the most used on mobile devices and computers these days. And because these formats are the most common, it is not a surprise to see the large amounts of video content that can be downloaded off of the Internet through various subscription-based unlimited video providers.

Download Sites – There are many sites that offer all sorts of options. For about $60 in total (and even less) these sites can give members access to their thousands of various video clips and movies. And the best thing is that members can download them forever. This means that availability of clips for the device is endless.

Mobility

Some people may find it common to watch movies on a mobile device that has such a small screen. But movies on Zune are just such a delight to the senses. Not only does the 30 gigabyte storage allow one to keep at least ten full feature films in the device, the 80 gigabyte version allows even more monster storage!

Wireless – Also, short video clips can be shared over WIFI between Zune users. Now this brings mobility to a whole new level. Imagine sharing your favorite video clips with friends and family so they can take them around showing other people as well. It’s definitely an experience that Microsoft thought about clearly.

The DVB Project

by Daniel j Holmlund

The digital video broadcasting project is being led by industry professionals, including over 270 broadcasters, manufacturers and other people in the broadcasting arena. They are helping to make sure that digital media is available all over the globe.

Already this project is available on every continent, with over 180 million receivers already in use. If a person is still using an analog television or video recorder, then they will be left in the dust in the world of electronics.

The digital video broadcasting project’s main purpose is to ensure that the migration from digital to analogue goes smoothly.

If a person is not careful, then they will be left in the dark when it comes to seeing broadcasted programming in early 2009. The bright light in all of this is that today’s electronics are not analogue but digital, and they will not need a converter.

What is so good about the DVB project and its system? Well, for starters, it is an open system instead of a closed system. In other worlds, an open system allows for the integrations between computers and televisions, instead of a closed system that is only for television viewing.

Through digital broadcasting, the possibility of seeing live television in cars, trains, buses and even on hand held devices is possible. This is a wonderful option coming for those who cannot live without their television sets.

The digital video broadcasting project will eventually make the lives of people all over the globe simpler and easier because of access to more information in a timely matter. No matter if a person watches high definition video now or tomorrow, the effects of this digital revolution will be here to stay. One cannot avoid this if they are interested in keeping up with their favorite television programs. Change happens all the time and people cannot hide from progress.

How to Save Money With Your Paper Stock

by Joshua Prizer

It’s a tough question to answer, and one I hear all the time: Which paper stock should I choose for my book? And although it’s a tough question, it is an important one because the paper you choose will tell your potential buyer what kind of book this is. Go too cheap, you might lose some buyers to a different title. Go too expensive, you just wasted your money.

Book paper weights are different than the paper weight measurements you will see in an office supply store. A 20# bond that you would find at Staples is similar to a 50# offset at a book printer. A 24# bond is similar to 60# offset, 28# is similar to 70# offset, etc.

Most black & white books with no photos are printed on either 50# or 60# offset. Going with 50# is adequate for most books and will save you some money. However, if you want your book to have a nicer feel to it, check out the extra cost for 60#. It might be worth it to you.

One thing I cannot emphasize enough – get print samples. There are a couple times when I have had a client tell me they knew exactly what type of paper they wanted to use, but then they were disappointed when they got the final product. Why? A friend of theirs had told them which paper stock to choose, and they ordered their books without ever seeing a paper sample. Don’t make the same mistake!

Children’s books or coffee table books that are printed in full color need a different paper stock than black & white books. You’ll want to think about whether to bump up to a glossy stock to make your pictures really shine on the paper. If you don’t like the glare of a glossy sheet, ask your printer if they have any matte coated stocks that would bring out the color of your images without the extra sheen.

Also, if you are printing in full color, you’ll definitely want a thicker paper stock. You don’t want any see-through for your color images from one side of the page to another. I usually recommend 80# gloss for most color books. If you want a little thicker, step up to 100# gloss. If you are trying to save cost, drop down to 70# gloss – but never less than that.

I can’t say it often enough: No matter which paper stock you think you want, ask your printer for some samples first.

When it comes to cover stock, for a paperback book a 10 pt. C1S cover is standard. However, it is usually very inexpensive to upgrade to a 12 pt. C1S cover. People do judge a book by its cover, so this might be a cost-effective upgrade.

Increase Online Traffic Using A FREE Web Log

by Elizabeth Clark

If you have a website online or merely just browsing the Internet you’ll either need traffic or, guess what? You are the traffic others are waiting for. So what is traffic? Just imagine the Internet as a major Freeway; the lanes on the freeway are different networks people are using.

One lane could be Comcast, MSN, AOL, Qwest; these are all lanes on the highway. Imagine the cars as millions of people traveling down the highway. Now guess what the exits are? Websites or weblogs! And guess what your desired goal should be? To get as many cars to YOUR exit as possible.

Now when I say I’m going to teach you how to increase online traffic FREE. What I’m actually saying is I’m going to show you how to point more cars to your exit. Now this alone can cost you mega dollars if you have no understanding of a simple technique called “keyword optimization!”

I don’t know everything about increasing online traffic; but what I do know are simple techniques to draw free visitors to your website or web log. I’ll give you the basics to keep this timely and simple. If you like in-depth information I’ll leave my contact information before ending the article.

Affiliate products are the topic of my traffic information, because this is my area of expertise. Affiliate products generally have zero start up costs. The product owner gives you a free affiliate website and web hosting. ClickBank.com is the merchant I prefer, visit their site in your spare time.

Now unless you have money for mega advertising that’s good! But for the average affiliate marketer, this is not the case. You see the whole reason behind affiliate marketing is saving time and money! Now here is where your cost comes in, and you’re trying to avoid extra cost, right?

Pay-per click advertising is very effective yet it can cost you as much as $600 annually. You can visit (AdWords.google.com) or (enhance.com) for more pay-per click information. But you’ll need a plan to receive FREE traffic.

Now your plan should begin with the proper (keywords) for the product you’re trying to sale. Example: if you’re selling apples your main or primary keyword should be apples. But this keyword is too general meaning competitive. Because there are literally thousands of people selling apples online. As a beginner you must work your way to the top.

Starting from the bottom with “low traffic” or noncompetitive keywords is your goal. You would want to use a keyword which describes your “primary” keyword. Let’s use: “shiny little red Apple”. This describes your primary keyword apples.

You can find search tools online revealing the type of (apples) keyword searches people are looking for. These free tools show you exactly what people are typing into Google, Yahoo and Alexa search engines. When looking for apples. If you want to increase online traffic a tool called freekeywords.Wordtracker.com is a tool you’ll need.

For other free tools simply type into any search engine the words “free keyword tools” with these keyword tools just type in the name of any product you’re trying to promote, and see what people are typing in the search engines to locate your product. Then locate the keyword phrases that best describe your product starting from the bottom.

These phrases consisting of 3 or more words are called (Long tail keywords). Remember to increase online traffic your success involves the effective use of “long tail keywords”. For a in-depth understanding of effective keyword use visit: goodkeywords.com they have a great free keyword tool available to you.

Once you have found the right keywords for your affiliate product, now let’s change our affiliate website link to match the keyword we’ve chosen. Remember in our early example: Apples is your primary keyword, and (Little red shiny Apple) is your Long tail keyword.

We just want your affiliate link, in this case ClickBank.com links look like this: http://candyc77.apples.hop.clickbank.net The candyc77 is my affiliate tracking identification code how I get paid!

By going to this website: http://www.shorturl.com and paying only $1.88 for the entire year; your affiliate website can look like this: Apples.2fortune.com this looks more professional to your prospects.

Now by following all of my above advice and using the proper (long tail keywords) for your product; let’s find the best traffic vehicle to push your new affiliate website higher in search engine rankings. And this vehicle is a web blog better known as Web log. You can get this free powerful website booster at: www.blogger.com or WordPress.com.

I don’t have time to explain the awesome advantages of using a Web blog instead of a website promote your affiliate products. The RSS feed advantages are tremendous and you can learn more at whatever Web blog site you choose to join above.

The RSS feed is already installed so you don’t have to worry about that, just enjoy promoting your product. And no this one thing,(search engines love RSS feed) Now when promoting your affiliate website with your new Web blog use your primary and secondary and long tail keywords to promote your affiliate website.

Remember in the earlier example, your primary keyword was apples which is to competitive for now. You might use (candy apples) as your secondary keyword but this is still to competitive for the beginner. To increase online traffic you should begin with “longtail keywords”.

As I stated earlier (Long tail keywords) are phrases with 3 or more words in the phrase. You have a smaller audience using Long tail keywords; but this is where you start for free search engine traffic.

Use all of these keywords in the paragraphs of your web blog to describe your affiliate product. Also include your more pleasing affiliate link you made from http://www.shorturl.com. The example Link: Apples.2fortune.com using a highly ranked .com address can certainly increase your online traffic.

Now don’t forget, you have a little homework by visiting the websites I presented above. The knowledge you can obtain from these websites will help you achieve even greater traffic results. Remember, you have a entire blogging community to present your product to. And if you really want to target your market and increase online traffic visit: http://www.technorati.com click on “Blogs” and search the blog directory.

Find your market and see what others are talking about! There you have it, this is a general guideline, due to time constraints. But if you follow these simple procedures you will see a increase in online traffic. Again using good Long tail keywords and a Web blog will give you an advantage.

Public Speaking: The Secret Goldmine

by James Malinchak

To get the sale and then to increase the amount of sales are the two main objectives in sales. We are all salesmen, whether we realize it or not, selling people our message through various forms: books, audios, and videos. Providing education and knowledge through our product resources helps others and opens up a secret goldmine that can bring even more wealth for us.

I get excited when I talk about this secret goldmine because there are actually several ways that it can help anyone’s motivational speaking career – more than just money. This goldmine is often underused and overlooked as an opportunity for wealth creation but in reality, this secret goldmine can provide a firm foundation for your professional speaking success. This secret goldmine is the group of people who will buy from you over and over again – the hot list.

To start forming your hot list you first need to start collecting contact information of people who purchase your products and or have heard you speak at conferences. People who have attended your seminar should fill out a slip of paper with their: name, address, phone number and email address. People who have purchased books or other products can have their contact information easily captured as part of the receipt. Offering a free newsletter or bonus report is yet another way to obtain your audience’s contact information.

It is your hot list that you should market your products and services to. Often people market their materials only at the conference. By doing so you are giving yourself only one chance to make a sale. You are relying on the fact that you gave out your web address for any and all future sales and then hope and pray that somehow, your customers will make it over to the website. To watch your sales increase send out inspirational and informational newsletters or flyers to keep your products fresh on your customer’s brains.

Another aspect of the hot list is to give yourself an opportunity to build a rapport with your client. Watching today’s marketing trends shows consumers are purchasing more products that they feel they can connect with, therefore predict the need to have a relationship with your client. These consumers become loyal brand users and prove to become very helpful with any third party promotions you may need.

When you build this group of people you build your own professional speaking niche. This group of people is like having your own fishing pond. You will always have this hot list of people who are interesting in what you have to offer. Whenever you have new products to market, this group will be there to help support the sales. Should you have a calendar of engagements you’re speaking at, this hot list will be curious where you’ll be going. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in the public speaking business, take the time to invest in building the hot list.
