Atricle Dump - The Hero's Journey: Capote (2005) Deconstructed
What do the following things have in common: brushing your teeth, regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, paying your bills on time, cleaning your gutters, spending quality time with your spouse and kids…?They’re all forms of regular “self-care” that, if you neglect them for a period of time or take the wrong approach, there will be costly negative consequences.The same goes for marketing.Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?• Your phone does not ring regularly with new prospects.• You don’t regularly hear, “Hey, I’ve heard of your company!”• Your sales pipeline is dry, so you go to some networking events, get some leads, then stop.• People don’t respond quickly to meet or talk with you after an initial introduction through networking.• The leads you do get trickle in slowly.• You spend a lot

Do you need a domain name for your business? Here are just a few ways of purchasing one.1. Think Up and Register Your Own Original Domain NameThink up your own original name and register it at a domain name registrar. Although this seems obvious, many people feel that all the good domain names are already taken.It is true that it won't be easy to come up with a suitable name that has not already been registered. However, with some careful thought, you may come up with your own original domain name.For example, I once was going to buy a certain domain name but someone else beat me to it. Upon reflection, I came up with a comparable (if not better) domain name myself and simply registered it.2. Buy Already Expired Domain NamesSometimes you can find the domain name you want from a list of al
The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.
The Hero's Journey:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.
and more...

Yes, I admit it. I did.Now, don't get me wrong. I am an internet marketer. I spend hours and hours in front of my computer, answering questions from my customers, working with prospects, improving my offering. I personally take calls from my customers and I react to ensure that their needs are met. I work hard to squeeze every dollar out of my website, both for me and for my affiliates.But yesterday I read a book.Nope, it wasn't a book on marketing, or persuasion, or Google. Nope, it wasn't an e-book on web design or the latest tools to create nifty buttons. It was a real, honest-to-goodness, paperback novel.I didn't learn a thing about how to increase my conversions or attract more people to my website. What the heck was I thinking?!I'm a small business owner. If I don't work, I don't eat. Every bit of revenue that comes in

As a webmaster you already know how important it is that your web pages download fast. In a nutshell, if your pages are slow, then you're losing visitors. And if you're losing visitors, you're losing money.To speed up your download times, most web design experts will suggest that you optimize your GIFs and JPGs so that they download faster. They'll suggest that you make your images smaller or remove them altogether. Or they'll simply suggest that you put less stuff on your pages.All of these methods work. The problem, however, is that they all involve doing things that you don't want to do. You don't want to squeeze any more quality and color out of your images. The same goes for your content - you put it there because you want it there. Basically, there's only so far you can go with these approaches before you really start to ruin your page.<

It is probably one of the hottest selling E-Books of all time, and might just stay popular for a while to become the hottest E-Book ever.But what makes Get Google Ads Free so catchy and contagious that people itch to have it and public interest burns like wildfire in the brush?Could it be its timing; coming at a period when some internet marketers are unable to effectively use Google Adwords in their campaigns because of imposing bids and stiff competition.Is it because it hinted on pulling a fast one on a giant corporation that rakes in tens of millions in US Dollars each day?What actually makes this book a stunning success is that, it was made in the very same manner, and through the same process most successful businesses are created.
