I submit 3 articles each day to about 25 articles directories. It would be impossible for me to write and submit this many articles manually. Doing it manually, each submission would take about an hour. That doesn’t include the time it takes to write them. All told, I would spend about four and a half hours a day just writing and submitting articles. This job is much more manageable using an article submission software program. I use Article Submitter, by Bryxen Software, but there are many similar programs available on the Internet. Article Submitter comes with over 100 directories pre-programmed into the software. This is a great advantage if you are new to article marketing and you do not have a list of directories that you want to submit to. On your first time using your article submission software, you have to register with each of the directories that you are submitting to. This process is rather time consuming, but the time you save on subsequent submissions will more than make up for the extra time you take in the beginning. When registering, use your email address as your user ID. This makes it easy to remember your user ID for future reference. In addition, use the same password with all of the directories that you submit to. This also avoids confusion in the future. Using article submission software, I can make an article submission to 25 directories in 10 to 15 minutes. Using the submission software reduces my article marketing time to about 2 hours per day. That results in a time savings of about 2 and a half HOURS per day. When you add that up, it represents a significant savings in both time and money. Are you writing articles?

The right metaphor can convey your ideas vividly and memorably. A metaphor is a non-literal use of language. A metaphor says that one thing is another, quite different sort of thing. To be a metaphor, it must literally not be true. Paradoxically, in its non-literal-truth, metaphor is the most effective way to communicate deeper truths. We use metaphors to make the abstract seem concrete; to make the unknown seem familiar; to help us to feel that we understand mysterious things, to feel that we can reason about them, to feel comfortable with them. Public speakers use metaphor to craft a “phrase that pays”–the message their audience will take with them. Comedians use metaphor for one-liners. Politicians use metaphor for applause lines. Shakespeare is remembered for his metaphors: “In me thou seest the glowing of such fire that on the ashes of his youth lie, as the deathbed whereon it must expire, consumed with that which it was nourished by” “Death lies upon her like an untimely frost.” “That time of year thou mayst in me behold when yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold” Not all metaphors are powerful. With use, a metaphor can become stale. With extensive use, it can die as a metaphor and take on a literal meaning, as the word “star” in “she is a star.” It is possible to refresh stale metaphors and revive dying ones by simply asking, “What kind of?” To show how that’s done, I devoted about a half an hour while stretched out in my recliner to finding interesting ways to use the metaphor, LIFE IS A STORY. First I asked, “What kind of story?” and I got “a work of fiction” and “a play.” From these I also got “a book,” which isn’t built on LIFE IS A STORY, but I’m not going to turn down metaphors because they were not precisely what I was seeking. Those, however, didn’t go far enough. I had to ask again, “What kind of…?”: “What kind of a work of fiction?”, “What kind of a play?”, “What kind of a book?” I got somewhere around two dozen metaphors. Here I’ll share six of them just as I wrote them. They can all use refinement and editing. “The story of my life remains unpublished, while other people have best sellers.” “My autobiography needs a subject.” “Life is a mystery. I’m the detective, and I’m clueless.” “Some lives are tragedies. Some are comedies. I’m auditioning for a bedroom farce.” (I’ve put this one on T-shirts.) “My life is a play. We’re still trying to cast the other lead.” “If childhood is a rehearsal for life, I dread opening night.” There you have it: by asking, “What kind of…?” you can quickly find an abundance of fresh metaphors to choose among. Not all will be winners, of course, but the odds of finding a winner in two dozen is much greater than finding it in a single stale metaphor.

He created a web T-shirt shop, WittySelfExpression.com, as a place to apply rhetorical techniques.

I know a good idea when I see one. So should you. Dump those time-tested ideas you’re sending off to editors every other day, and find ideas that will get you the assignment each time, every time. How do you know whether your brilliant idea will strike a chord and get you the assignment or land your neatly crafted query in the slush pile? Use the following checklist to find out whether you have a winner or another stale idea that the editor’s been rejecting since she set foot in her editorial office. Here are some of the questions an editor will ask of each article idea: What’s new? If you’re writing for a pregnancy magazine, chances are the editor has already covered topics such as exercises and diet regulation. What are you going to say that stands apart? Can you provide a unique spin to these topics? If yes, you’re in the door. Think different. Instead of talking about diet issues, list twenty food items that are to be avoided throughout pregnancy. Be innovative. Come up with topics you’ve never seen featured before. Are there any negative feelings, unresolved issues or body changes that might not be so great that would-be mothers need to know more about? Will the reader connect? You may have the most innovative, brilliant and mind-blowing idea. Yet, it may lead to a rejection if you’re targeting the wrong market. Send an idea about getting over broken live-in relationships to a magazine in India, and don’t expect anything but a rejection. But send it over to a singles magazine in England, and you may have a chance. The first thing the editor wants to know when she lays eyes on your query is whether her readers will value your subject matter. If her readers won’t take to it, she won’t either. Will it keep my reader captivated? Picture this: I come home from a long day at work. While I relax on my couch, I could flick channels on the remote or pick up the magazine and leaf through the articles. My eyes rest on your piece. Is your piece intriguing and interesting enough to make me stay with you, or would I prefer to watch what’s on TV? It’s every editor’s fear

Plagarism is defined as turning in the work of someone else as though it were your own. While this is clearly immoral and dishonorable, it happens on college campuses worldwide every single day, semester after semester, year after year. So from an educational standpoint, a key question is: “how can professors tell when a student is obviously plagarizing a paper?” There are several ways, and you can bet most professors are using them to evaluate every paper that crosses their desks. So let’s examine five obvious signs that someone plagarized a paper and learn a little more about how professors scrutinize your work. 1) Your writing style in the plagarized paper is markedly different from all your other papers Perhaps the most obvious tip-off to plagarism is turning in a paper that looks and feels drastically different from how you normally write. This is especially true if you struggle with writing (or are just flat out bad at it.) Professors make note of who writes well and who doesn’t. Therefore, an awesome paper from someone who normally can’t write to save his life sets off the plagarism alarms almost instantly. However, even good writers can trigger plagarism concerns if they adopt a very different writing style than what a professor has grown accustomed to seeing. 2) You use more quotes than actual written-by-you content Some students seem to think packing a paper with quotes is the surefire way to a good grade. “After all”, they figure, “if I fill enough space with enough intelligent-sounding quotes from famous or historic figures, and it seems to be on-topic, how can I get a bad grade?” In fact, doing this almost guarentees that you will get a bad grade and be accused of plagarism. It’s even more risky if you don’t cite the quotes, making it seem as though you wrote them. To avoid this, make sure you never use more quotes than actual, written-by-you content and that you do not falsely claim (by not citing them) to have written other people’s quotes. 3) You take a strong stance in the plagarized paper but weak or no stances in all your other papers Just as professors note who the good and bad writers are, they also note who the passionate, position-taking writers and wishy-washy, fence-sitting writers are. This is important, because if your plagarized paper is different from your normal distinction - say, if you normally take no strong positions in your papers but turn in a paper with fiercely passionate views - it will be obvious that someone else wrote it. And since virtually all papers worth plagarizing take strong positions, you stand a high risk of getting caught unless you usually take strong positions too (and if you’re thinking of turning in someone else’s work as your own, you probably don’t.) 4) Grossly outdated statements, figures, or data Another unmistakable sign of plagarism is the use of clearly outdated research or figures. For example, a fall 2008 paper that referred to “Newt Gingrich, speaker of the predominantly Republican House of Representatives” is very likely plagarized. Non-plagarized papers generally contain current research and descriptions, while plagarized papers often use only years or decades-old sources in their works cited page. 5) Your paper shows excellent writing ability but is not on topic Finally, it is common for plagarized papers to be vaguely on-topic but not fully on-topic. For example, let’s say your assignment was to write about Abraham Lincoln’s role in the Civil War. A brilliantly written, plagarized paper might cover the Civil War in general, but devote little or no time to Lincoln’s role in it, which is the heart of the assignment. But if you think the easy way to an A is to find a well-written but generic paper, turn it in and hope for the best, think again! It’s an obvious red flag that any qualified professor knows to look for. Wade Knoxvillefree term papers

Do you know about the distinction - and it’s a useful one - between communication that tries to reinforce and communication that tries to get change? If you follow politics you’ll already be familiar with this idea: Incumbents send messages that reinforce existing voter behavior, while challengers call for changes. Any thoughtful marketing communication (and political communication is marketing communication) will be strongly influenced by this distinction, which affects not only the content, but also the presentation, and perhaps even the medium. For example, suppose you own a bookstore and every couple of months you send a newsletter to all residences within a two mile radius. Now, if you have good market share and you’re profitable, you won’t want to rock the boat. You’ll want to reinforce existing behaviors (which include buying at your store). On the other hand, if you just opened a new bookstore and need to take market share from other bookstores, then you want change existing book buying behavior. Another example: Suppose your employee safety program has worked well for the past year and you want to maintain the practices that led to this longest-ever period without an accident. Your communication would reinforce. On the other hand, if the safety record was unacceptable, you would try to get change through your communication. In a change situation, we want to upset the status quo, to challenge existing beliefs and ways of doing things. That means the words and style could be somewhat inflammatory. We can do this by making bold claims or allegations: Just listen to, or look at, advertising claims like these: “If you shop at Joe’s Bookstore, you may be paying too much!” or, “Drive a bit further and save a lot more at Jane’s Bookstore!” Change also might be hurried by painting negative scenarios , as in “Unless we get more efficient, senior management will outsource the whole department.” Tactically, change usually demands more communication, as in more often and more words or pages. As you can imagine, it takes more communication to drive change than to stay on the same course. There are also tactics we can use to reinforce existing beliefs or actions. To maintain the status quo we can stress a service record, as in, “Serving you with quality and service for 25 years.” or “Your performance has been very good over the past year, Betty. Keep up the good work.” Reinforcement does not automatically rule out change; however, it emphasizes incremental and gradual change rather than major and abrupt change. You can also appeal to shared values or experiences to reinforce. Nothing commits us to staying the course like emotional cues that link good times to the status quo. For example, consider the power of an advertising slogan that begins, “Remember when….” It connects a powerful, positive emotion with a product or service. By extension, the product or service offers an opportunity to relive that good time. In summary, make a distinction in your communication between reinforcing and changing. Decide which way you want to go, and then choose the appropriate strategies, tactics, and tools. Robert F. Abbott writes and publishes Abbott’s Communication Letter.

Captain Sir, I’m off now sailing; it seems to be getting dark. My communication is not new; I hope I’m getting through to You. The waves are rising strong and fast; I hope my stern’s strength can last. The storm is great with power and size; my ship is now cracking, soon to capsize. Rescue me to a place of peace away from the waves of raging seas. Before I called, I was alone. I now have You to guide me home. I now sail with distressing regret, forgetting Your words to check my map. Captain Sir, show me Your way through this storm, over these waves. I remember Your words You said to be true, when in distress, to call upon You. You will set my course to be on track, to trust in Your compass, to make it back. Rescue me to a place of peace away from the waves of raging seas. Before I called, I was alone. I now have You to guide me home. Thank You Sir, the seas are now calming. My radio works, and You heard my calling. My uncertain time has been relieved; experience and instruction have been received. I see Your light on the shores of salvation; You have guided me home safe and untainted. When there are troubling storms to admit, I now count on You to steer my ship. — L.J.Riley Jr.

In the story ‘A Good Man is Hard to Find’ the main character is the Misfit, a criminal person who feels the lack of courage, but the ways of its expressing are rather different then those of the Reuben Bourne by Hawthorne. When the reader just begins to recognize the main character he seems to be the murder who tried to pass the law and to be uncaught. The first scene describes to the reader the situation when the Misfit with his friend stopped the car where was a family going to Florida. June Starr, the daughter, saw the gun in the Misfit hands. Grandmother tried to explain to Misfit that he was a good person, probably the misfit but he should be good. At that time the Misfit said to the father of the family, Bailey, to go into the forest with one of his friends. O’Connor tried to make an impression on the reader and to describe the forest as the death. His order to kill not only the man but the boy shows that very lack of courage as while the grandmother told that he was a good man he deprived of the live the young boy. Then he decided to kill mother and daughter also sending them to the forest. In spite of the phrases of the old lady, the Misfit sent everyone of the absolutely innocent family to the death illustrating cold and scared behavior of the character. He continued to talk with the grandmother, but at the same time he continued to kill of her members of family without paying attention to it. And even if he probably paid attention he was careless to such fact. Then the old lady put the question why the Misfit did not pray. His answer was terrible: he said that to his mind he did everything correct and he need not any help from others. Then, of course, it was high time to send the grandmother for death. The old lady touched him and said that he was her child. O’Connor tried to make an impression of the readers as he saw the main character like a snake. The Misfit killed grandmother himself, three shots were sounded. They were done in her chest. Well, here is a description of cowardly murders of absolutely innocent family made the person who was not really courageous one and very coward. Andrew Bolton is an experienced freelance writer.

Management guru Tom Peters says white collar workers and managers in functional departments need to protect their futures. They have to learn “the difference between doing totally acceptable work and creating very new value….” he notes, in an Industry Week article. In other words, people in departments like Human Resources and Finance need to become entrepreneurial. With that in mind, let’s look at three ways you can use communication to add new value, whether you work in a functional department or not. First, every department of every organization generates unique information. That comes from being astride several communication flows that come together in one office or area. Information flows in from suppliers, from staff, and from other stakeholders. For example, people in your department read trade magazines, they attend seminars, they’re in touch with people in other departments, and they may belong to trade associations. If your department consciously gathers, sifts, analyzes, and organizes that information - formally or informally - then it’s creating new value. It’s now more than just information: it’s business intelligence, information with added value. That’s what we refer to as generating new information. Moving to the idea of condensing information, one striking characteristic of modern communication is the amount of it moving around. No doubt you’ve heard references to information overload, an all too real problem for those whose work life revolves around information. You can add value by monitoring the information that comes into your office and selecting just the critical parts. Movie director Alfred Hitchcock put it this way, “Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.” That’s probably not a bad way of thinking about the condensing of information. You can also summarize. Rather than distributing selected bits of information, you can write an abstract that captures the key data or ideas and reduces the load to manageable size for others. That’s great added-value for senior managers who need overviews, rather than details. Many internal newsletters earn their keep by providing regular summaries of useful information. That information can come from outside the organization or from within. Third, there’s other side of the same coin, which involves expanding, rather than condensing, information. One way to do this is by providing context. Consider, for example, any current issue that gets high profile treatment. Can you take the information you have, and then provide background that helps others make sense of it? You might bring in additional information that provides a brief history, the current opportunities and threats, and some possible directions for the future, along with their implications. You might also expand information by making connections to issues that don’t seem to affect your organization. For example, suppose your factory serves only the domestic market, so globalization seems irrelevant for at least the near future. But, what if you could explain how changes to tariffs would allow you to buy your raw materials at lower prices? In summary, you can add value to existing information by turning it into business intelligence, condensing it, or expanding it. All approaches may use the same material, but manage it differently, to satisfy different needs. Robert F. Abbott writes and publishes Abbott’s Communication Letter.

The novel, Texas Indiana II, is the second story developed from the author’s first book, Ripples in the Wind. The plot continues to chronicle the struggles and challenges facing a wealthy Indiana family. The story focuses on Barbara Callahan, a successful and wealthy businesswoman coping with the loss of her husband. Under the guidance of her retiring father Raymond Morrison, she accepts the position as CEO of her father’s corporation; Morrison, Inc. Barbara strives to overcome the obstacles that confront her and her family. Barbara must balance her role as head of the family and CEO of a powerful business. She struggles to find her inner strength to overcome the challenges that come with her responsibilities. In the business world, Barbara must prove herself competent in the eyes of those questioning her new position. In her family, she struggles with the maternal instinct to protect her children and allowing them to confront and resolve their own problems. Her son James finds himself tackling alcoholism and the challenges he faces as he fights to save his family. Her daughter Jennifer, a smart woman businesswoman, but naïve in matters of love, faces a relationship that proves to be a danger to her and her family. As the CEO of Morrison Inc, Barbara is confronted with those seeking to control her and her company. As she uncovers a sinister plot from within to steal from the company by individuals seeking to keep the truth from her at any cost, she faces a threat with potentially fatal consequences. Barbara and her family become embroiled in dangerous plots designed to hurt her family and business. Texas Indiana II tells a tale of love, loss, intrigue, and suspense that tests the endurance of a family confronted with external and internal influences threatening to destroy their lives. Extortion, revenge, betrayal, and greed, are key plots accompanying the many twists and turns throughout the story. It is a charming and enthralling tale of self-reliant growth of a woman in the face of the many obstacles seeking to ruin her corporation and family. I highly recommend Texas Indiana II to readers who enjoy a well-written and engaging story of growth and survival.

This is not something most authors think of but it is true. Most authors make money because they expand their portfolio of products. They create an empire of information. People learn differently in respect with this learning styles you provide your information in a variety of mediums and you are broadening your customer base. This is not something most authors think of but it is true. Most authors make money because they expand their portfolio of products. They do not just write one book, they create an empire of information. Let us take a look at two very different examples. JK Rowling is quite possibly the wealthiest traditionally published author ever. She has 7 books, 7 movies, and a theme park and I am sure there are other projects in the works. What i my point? She did not just write one book and sit back and wait, she created more books and other related projects to make more money. Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen self published Chicken Soup for the Soul. Since that very first book, they too did not stop at one book; they created a mega empire and more Chicken Soup books that you can count. They also have greeting cards, gift packs, dog food, puzzles, calendars, vitamins, games and music all with the chicken soup for the soul theme. Now, I am not suggesting you write a book and then license vitamins with your book’s title. That worked for the Chicken Soup folks; it might not work for you. The point is that these authors all became incredibly rich by creating a product empire from their first book. How can you create a product empire? One of the easiest ways is to focus on information marketing. You have a book as your first product where can you go from there? Presumably you could create an audio book and sell that. What about an online course? Does a CD ROM work for your market? Why Build an Information Marketing Empire? People learn differently. Some learn by watching and others learn by hearing or actually going through the motions. When you provide your information in a variety of mediums, you are respecting these learning styles and you are broadening your customer base and you are broadening your audience appeal. People are more likely to buy from you again and again, if they liked their previous purchase and received benefit from it. This is why it is important to provide only quality products. As you increase your product line, you can offer a variety of cost levels. For example, if your book costs $30 that is a great entry level price but some people may be interested in spending more to receive more. This is when offering a seminar or consulting services can meet the needs of the customers with the larger budget. By offering a variety of price points, you are broadening your target market. More products give people the perception that you are more than the expert in your field, you are the guru. You are the single best person to go to because you offer so many products in your niche field. Offering a host of products in your expert area is the best way to become a rich author. Do not settle for being a one hit wonder, increase the opportunities to gain great wealth and expand your book product into an information marketing empire.
