So sit back relax and earn how you can make yourself infinitely more sexy on Facebook!
This is the second part of my list building series where I look at further techniques for list building, which I currently use and have had success with in the past.
Forum Marketing
I first stumbled on forum marketing several years ago and it's a method which I still use with great success today. Essentially you participate in forums within your niche offering value to other people by answering their questions and building yourself a reputation a a person who can be trusted and who also is an authority.
This method still is an old favourite of mine, indeed it is where I got my first big break in Internet Marketing and not only made me a lot of sales online, but also got me some freelancing jobs which gave me the opportunity to work with some big marketers,build some invaluable relationships that have paid dividends over the past few years.
So how does this work in a nutshell, well first you provide value and then you use what is called a signature link, which appears whenever you post a reply to a thread on the forum. When someone clicks on that link they are taken straight to your squeeze page.This literally can be an opportunity to get cash on demand. In the past I'd make a couple of posts a day knowing that those posts would result in sales, it's a great method and will reap dividends if you use it well.
Example of a forum signature link
I also have some software called Forum Renegade, which will find the niche forums for you to post on and will also find threads by keyword, so you can be ahead of the game, using this software will make you work very efficiently and I recommend you purchase it. You can get hold of Forum Renegade here
Article Marketing
Once upon a time Article marketing was a dream, back in the day there was a method called "Bum Marketing" whereby you would create several articles related to the product you were promoting and at the time Google favoured content from article directories like Ezinearticles. So a well written article related to your niche would immediately rank well and you'd consistently make sales.
Alas Google put an end to this strategy, so it's not really worth the time of day these days. I still pick up the odd sale from articles I wrote back in the day, but the traffic is minimal and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a lot of time to waste for very little return. If you look on the Warrior Forum you will see that some people still advocate this as a viable method..suggesting that you publish your articles first on your blog and then submit to the articles to the Article directories…so people will publish your articles on their sites…a very bad Idea these days as Google will penalize you for duplicate content. Don't listen to the people who promote this strategy, it's a waste of time.
Video Marketing
This is one of my favourite methods of getting traffic although I primarily use it to directly promote affiliate offers. People love video and if you pique their interest, then they will click through to your Squeeze pages. However we are talking quality videos here. One of the techniques that has worked well in the past for me was creating simple presentations using either Powerpoint, Open Office or Google Documents free Presentation application.
I love the latter as it allows me to access my content from anywhere and on any device, Google Drive is a recommended resource in my opinion. Simply create a presentation, add a voiceover and deliver content that will benefit your potential lead. In the resource box below the video add a link to your squeeze page and a description about the product you are promoting.
Videos also have the potential to go viral, so spending a bit of time creating a good video could help you to build a list very quickly. To do this you are going to need some screen capture software the best in my opinion is Camtasia you can download a free trial here, the downside with the trial is that your videos will be watermarked, however it's a great opportunity to try out this great software…I couldn't live without it! A free alternative is Camstudio…not quite as snazzy as the former…but "you get what you pays for". You can download Camstudio here.
You can use other tricks here like adding the "hand written scribe" style videos, these are very effective for immediately getting engagement. One great product I recommend picking up is VideomakerFX you can read my review of this product here, it's one of those tools that if used well will result in loads of new leads and buyers.
Blogging is also a great way of building a list, posting regularly to your blog with information which will benefit your readers is a must in my book. Not only will it help you to establish yourself as a brand, but it will also help with your list building efforts. You can also drive traffic from your Autoresponder (I use Aweber) and concentrate on building relationships with your subscribers. Having a list that you purely market to is a bad decision, you need to build up a relationship with your subscribers. You need to think less about money and more about providing value, which you can do by sending out a weekly newsletter with information that will appeal to your audience.
This also has a plus effect as the more traffic that gets sent to your blog, the better your authority and rankings will be.
Blog Commenting
Alas not quite what it was these days due to an over zealous Google. By finding and commenting on blogs within your niche you can drive traffic to your website and your squeeze pages. One of the biggest problems with blog commenting is the amount of Spam, you might have noticed on my blog I have disabled comments, this is due to the amount of crappy spam comments I receive on a daily basis. It's a bit of a shame really because I would love to encourage discussion here, but having to moderate the blog constantly and sending the rubbish comments to spam hell is not something I have the inclination to do.
However there are some blogs out there where you can post an intelligent comment and get a link back to your site, so it's still worth a shot!
Question and Answer sites
A few years ago I used to use Yahoo answers and Answerbag to drive traffic to my sites, it was a great method too. All I needed to do was spend a little time searching for people with problems in my niche and answer their questions and then place my site as a resource. I made quite a few sales this way and it was easy work, however because if abuse this method is not as effective as it once was and it's easy to get your Yahoo account banned…so not the best of choices these days alas, but still worth a shot…to test it out just buy a couple of level 2 Yahoo accounts on Fiverr.
I have given you a list of methods which I use to great success online for list building, I hope that you now feel ready to try some of these techniques and start building yourself a responsive and lucrative email list and start making some good money from your marketing efforts. A very important point to keep in mind while you are building your list is to think about the people who are subscribing, get personal with them, build relationships, remember that they are looking for solutions to their problems and it is your duty to help them. Planned future articles include, setting up a squeeze page for free and product development.
Wishing you great success in your Internet Marketing efforts
One of the questions I frequently get asked by my subscribers and Skype Mastermind members is how to effectively build an email list. So today in this article I will suggest a few of the methods which have worked well for me. This article concentrates on how to get traffic to a Squeeze page and the various methods you can use. Building a list is not rocket science, indeed it is really simple, but getting the right quality of leads on the other hand requires a little thought.
Product launches (building a list of buyers)
This is by far the quickest method which will get buyers onto your list, in the past I have used the Warrior Special Offers section of the warrior forum. However for this to work effectively you are going to need your own product and the support of affiliates. The premise is that you have a product that you sell on the Front end (on the sales page) usually this product is pitched at around the $9 mark and increases in a dime sale.
You attract affiliates by offering 50% plus commissions on this product, frequently I have given affiliates 100% on the front end, because as you can imagine making $9 a sale is far more appealing than $4.50 and to be honest I personally look to make at least $9 per item that I promote, or it just doesn't seem worth my while. You then aim to recover your investment by offering a OTO (One Time Offer)as well as further upsells, each time offering a downsell if the customer chooses to reject the OTO. A downsell essentially is an opportunity to get a slimmed down or more basic version of the OTO.
Some people create a free offer on The Warrior Forum, where people opt in to access a product. This method was recommended to me by a mentor a few years ago, again you'd be wise to set up a funnel to catch buyers. The only thing is it would be hard to get affiliates on board to promote for you as essentially they are just giving you their list for no return. I suppose you could offer commissions on the OTO, but essentially I think you are relying more on the traffic the offer sections is getting from people just browsing the board…worth a shot for $20 though.
Using this method you can build a list of responsive buyers really quickly. One thing I tried was adding a option to purchase membership to a Internet marketing software membership site of mine on the download page of the product. This was extremely effective and I managed to create an income stream of several thousand dollars a month within approximately 6 weeks. There isn't the space here to go into creating the products for this method, I'll do that in a future blog post. However this first method is the one that is going to bring you in the most money in the quickest possible time.
Solo Ads
With Solo ads you purchase traffic from a vendor who already has a list. They will then send "Clicks" to a squeeze page where you can offer a free product in return for the users email address. The user opts in to get the free product and then they are exposed to a one time offer. This has the added bonus of paying for the cost of the solo ad, so hopefully you will have not only have a list of potential buyers but will also have brought in a few sales.
Unfortunately there are a lot of unscrupulous Solo Ad vendors who will send fake users to your pages, so it is important to check out the reputation of the vendor first. A few of places to look for solo ad vendors are in the classified section of the Warrior Forum, other places to try are Safe Swaps and a new site which has caught my attention called Solo Checker, the latter gets my vote, because unlike Safe Swaps their is no monthly charge for being a solo ad provider.
Another great place to look for solo ad vendors is in Facebook Groups where the solo ad vendors performance is often reviewed by group members. You will also need to use tracking software so that you can check the quality of the leads you are being sent, this is extremely importrant, fortunately there is a free tracking script called Prosper 202, you will need to be a little tech savvy to get this set up and tracking your links, but believe me it is worth it.
Social Traffic
Getting organic traffic from the Google Serps is not what it once was as you know and these days we have to rely more on Social Networks for traffic. Social networking is cool because you can establish yourself as a brand and build a following, however it's a complete time sucker and it's far to easy to waste a day on Facebook without achieving anything. I use a service called IFTT this is a cool resource which will update your networks automatically based upon a formula..so for example…If I do a post on Facebook then IFTT will send that status to Twitter, Google Plus,Tumblr etc, you get what I mean? This is a very useful tool because it means that our updates will get more exposure…it really is a numbers game, the more you get out there…the more traffic you will pick up.
Example IFTT recipies
By posting ads within groups related to your niche on Facebook, you can direct leads to a squeeze page. Initially I tried using this method to send traffic directly to affiliate offers and although I got a few sales, the conversions as you can imagine are based on the quantity of traffic that clicks through.
A way of increasing your conversions would be to use Facebook group posting software, I have a product designed specifically for that purpose, It's called FB Poster and a free version is available for my list subscribers. The way I would recommend you use this software however is to drive traffic to a squeeze page, get people to opt in and then offer them an OTO so you can immediately separate the buyers from the freebie hunters.
In the next article I will describe some more effective free traffic sources you can use.
Watch this video…you'll be sold!
Every now and again a tool comes along that has great potential for getting you sales, so when I discovered 5 Minute Sales Letters from Matt Cook…which promised to deliver incredible sales pages with world class copy as you can imagine I was very interested, but I was also sceptical.
To be honest it takes quite a bit to impress me, I'll never promote rubbish and only ever look at anything which delivers on it's promise…forget the hype, forget the BS, if a product is crap I won't give it the time of day.
So what exactly is 5 Minute Sales Letters?
5 Minute Sales Letters is a WordPress plugin created by a chap called Matt Cook from Australia. The plugin was based on extensive research he performed by looking at content created by the top Copywriters in the world.
The premise of the plugin is that you fill in a few fields on a form related to the product you are going to promote, and after filling in the blanks, you press submit and "bingo" out pops a killer salespage, looking like a million dollars which could have been written by Gary Halbert…
Are you serious, could it really be that simple?
Well lets take a look and see if it really is that great…(you can see my review in the video above, with a demonstration of me using the plugin, plus you'll also learn some killer information for creating awesome headlines for free…make sure you watch)
OK, so I installed the plugin on my blog…picked a product I have PLR rights to, filled in the required fields and here is the initial output and incredibly this is what the plugin created in 5 minutes:
Now that is just an extract of the page…we are talking a 6000 word salespage here…pretty damn awesome. To create something like that would have taken me a day easily, if not several!
The page comes with a story, calls to action, testimonials features and benefits, guarantee etc…it really is incredible. Take a look at the bottom of the page below, it created all this content including the JVZoo button and an image of my ugly mug at the bottom
So the initial output looks more than good…However I'd personally want to make that page my own adding my own style and images (which you can see me doing in the video).
So lets take a look at a page where I created my own images and really made the copy my own…although to be fair I didn't change the original copy too much.
If you'd like to see the entire sales page just click on the image above, I'm sure you are going to be impressed.
I was totally stunned…here was a plugin that was going to save me so much time, the initial output was great, but editing and adding my own feel and media…well I'm sure you can see for yourself…it's a "nobrainer".
Just think about any PLR content you have sitting gathering dust on your hard drive…now you have an opportunity to make money from it easily! if you take action with this plugin you are definitely going to get sales…even if you don't have a clue about writing copy, that's how powerful it is.
The only thing I don't like about the plugin is although the content created looks great, it has been designed to post the page immediately to the site, but it's much better in my opinion to use this tool to create a starting point for a sales page and then take that content and place on a new site.You can easily achieve this by copying the html code and then posting that content into a new page, but maybe I'm being too picky?
So use the plugin as a content creation hub and not so much a publishing tool…if you get what I mean?
This plugin gets 5 stars from me, it's one of the best things I've seen this year and I'm totally in love with it! Just think…in no time you will be pulling in sales and laughing all the way to the bank…I know I will be!
Another thing that impressed me was the price and the training, Matt is an ethical Marketer and a great presenter, so he's got your back covered. I was so impressed that I reached out to him on Facebook and am glad to have him as a contact, look out for stuff Matt puts out in the future he's certainly going places.
Get this plugin now, you'll be glad that you did…there is no fluffy hype or BS here…this is the real deal!
It's been a really exciting week, I got hold of a copy of VideoMakerFX from Peter Roszak and I have to confess I'm really impressed.
The software enables anyone to create professional whiteboard animations and presentations in minutes…that isn't hype…this product really delivers the goods.
I'm sure you have seen the incredible whiteboard animations created by software like videoscribe…You know the type with the animated hand drawing characters and writing text, very slick indeed and very effective.
However Unlike Videoscribe, which will set you back close to $700 you can get VideomakerFX for a steal..I mean how does $37 sound?…I'm totally speechless! I think what impresses me the most is that the software could have been sold for so much more, even with a price tag of $100 it would still have been great value. Also because of the price it has made this technology accessible to anyone, regardless of budget.
The software is very easy to use and its apparent when you open it up that the design is obviously influenced by Videoscribe.
If you look at the actual scribing function within the software, you'll see that it doesn't look quite as professional as videoscribe, the hand animation It's just not as slick, but don't get me wrong it's not bad at all.
Admittedly if I had to choose between Videoscribe and VideoMakerFX then I'd have to go with the former, because Videoscribe is undoubtedly the better of the two, But then you would expect it to be as VideoMakerFX is a fraction of the price and it would be insane to expect more.
With this software you'll be churning out amazing professional videos in minutes (I know because I've been testing the software today and it's amazing) Just take a look at a video below I put together in a few minutes with the software:
VideomakerFX is an essential purchase and will pay for itself many times over…there's nothing else out there that comes close for the price, just watch the demos on the sales page…you will be more than impressed.
With this video software you can:
- Create powerful sales videos easily
- Make those character explainer videos that cost THOUSANDS
- Create beautiful photo slideshows
- Create presentation style videos, faster then using Powerpoint
- Create videos in full HD and exports in record time!
- Save time! The learning curve is just minutes!
- Use over 200+ Animated Scenes and Slides for your presentations
- Combine music,your own MPs, beautiful backgrounds, photos…this is special!
Lets look at some possible applications for this software:
- Create videos for offline business
- Start your own Fiverr Whiteboard animation service
- Use to promote your own or affiliate products
- Sell the service on the Warrior Forum
I think the great thing here is that Internet marketers on a budget will easily be able to set up their own service and profit from video creation for clients, Whereas before this would not have been an option for many people.
I'm positive that if you purchase this video software and take action then it will pay for itself many times over. Don't let it sit on your hard drive and not do anything with it, start making some great looking presentations and reap the benefits.
This software is a "nobrainer" not only will the software increase your sales and generate more leads but it will also present you and your company as experts giving you a professional brand and identity online!
So if you want to profit handsomely from simple video creation, you'd be wise to get this software, nothing out there gets close for the price.
And selling for only $37…that's just crazy! as it would still be great value with a $200 price tag.
Snap this up while you can, I guarantee that you will not regret it!
Virtually anyone involved in internet marketing will tell you that the money is in the list, we have all heard that expression at one time or another but the emphasis has to be on not just building a list, but a list that actually makes money.
How do we get people onto our list?
To attract potential buyers we need to have an irresistable free offer,something that offers great value to the prospect.
This can work really well, especially if the gift has a high perceived value. It could be an ebook, a video, an audio recording, software application…indeed anything that has perceived value to your potential subscribers.
It's much better to have a unique product to offer, for example a product that you created yourself. PLR products may be appealing because they make it easier to quickly offer a product to your audience, but you'll need to brand the software as your own to benefit most from this method.
When creating your offer I believe it is better to offer a gift and have had my best success that way, however some people believe that a gift is not necessary
There is a school of thought that it's better not to have an offer for people to join your list and although, I've had some success with this method, I believe that you get better quality leads from offers.
Another method is to put up several pages with each one linking to the next…with an enticing hook line to encourage people to click through to the next page, make sure you use quality information for this method. You could do this for a few pages or several and on the last page inform the prospect to get more information they will need to sign up.
This also acts as a way of filtering out the time wasters and "tyre kickers". It also gives you an opportunity to connect with your audience and build trust, this wll make it easier to sell to your subscribers in the future.
Whatever List building method you use, make sure to "test" and learn what method works the best for you.
Althernative list building methods…
You don't even have to rely on Squeeze pages, popups or exit popups to get subscribers, or even use an autoresponder, believe it or not!
Look at these alternatives:
Facebook likes – when you post to your Facebook page, you'll show up in the feeds of people who've liked you.
Twitter -When you send out a "Tweet" your followers will see it and if they like it, you'll get Retweets, further expanding your reach and also attract new followers
YouTube channel subscribers – Everytime you post a new video your subscribers are notified, this is a great method for getting traffic to affiliate offers and has worked very well for me.
Pinterest followers -If the quality of your pins is good, you'll get "repinned" further extending your reach.
LinkedIn connections – if you're business focused linked in has great potential fr attracting targeted clients.
I thoroughly recommend that you try my Traffic master software, this will allow you to create redirects for Images on Facebook…you can however use these same redirects to send traffic from Google Plus and Pinterest. This is a fantastic method for sending people diretly to the affiliate offer you are promoting.
I think the best strategy is to use all of the above as you'll be giving yourself more opportunities for getting traffic to your offers and will not only build a list but makes some sales along the way.
Making money online is something that so many people dream about, there's a multitude of paid sources which feed on our dreams and offer us instant results, but the reality as I'm sure you know is so much different.
If you want to do well online you're going to need to change your mindset and think like a seller rather than a buyer. This means rather than purchasing every offer that promises you the world, you need to stop and think when you read that sales page…ask yourself if you really do need that wonderful product…don't let yourself be influenced by emotion.
When I started working online I literally didn't have any money to invest in these beautiful shiny things even though I could see that many would be of benefit to my business. My strategy then was to research the topic and determine what the strategy was behind it and then by using a free programming software language (Autohotkey) I'd build my own product.
So where do you find these strategies? Take a look at forums in your niche and use Google to find related content on those forums use site:forum.com "keyword"+strategy or "site:forum.com "keyword"+"How to"
do you get the idea?
A great place to look is on the Black hat forums because you'll find some really innovative thinking, many marketers you know use these sites as a resource for building products.
Another thing to consider when tempted to purchase a new plugin for wordpress is to look at wordpress.org and check out to see if there is a plugin there that will do the job of the paid one. Many plugin developers get their ideas from browsing the plugins there and I have seen some direct clones of free plugins offered for sale on the Warrior Forum.
If you can get into the product developer/seller mindset then you will be on the right track. Think like a buyer and you'll be on the path to poverty. Even when you start making money still be frugal with your purchases.
I remember what it was like when all of a sudden I had several thousand dollars in my Paypal account, the temptation was always there to buy, because now I had the finances to do so. However, I still resisted temptation only ever investing in anything that I was certain would benefit my business or increase my productivity.
If you are able I recommend that you get into software development or creating video products where you can teach people a new skill. Think about your abilities and how you can capitalize on them. Many go down the ebook route, but software and video have so much more value based on my own personal experience.
So there you have it, I've just given you some tips which will not only save you money but also get you on the path to making money unhindered by shiny object syndrome, just think about what I've said there truly is method in my madness.
If you are new to Internet marketing you've undoubtedly wondered what the best ways of getting traffic are in these post apocalyptic days days of the Panda, the penguin and god knows what other mammal Google has hit us with.
Let's face it the dream is getting free organic traffic and that's getting harder and harder to do with each Google update and going down the paid route just isn't an option for many people.
So what can we do to get free traffic? Well one thing that still works is forum marketing and in my opinion this method of marketing will be around for a long time.
I remember what it was like when I was new to selling online and it was more through fluke than anything else that I started to make sales and that was when things were easy! However those first sales and also freelancing jobs and long standing partnerships came as a result of forum marketing.
Blog commenting no longer has the power that it once had and it was only today I was reading that the days of guest posting are numbered as Google gets more and more tyrannical.
Forum marketing is not complex, essentially you will be responding to threads on a forum in your niche that gets consistently high targeted traffic.
Now we're not talking about spamming here, were talking about providing value and building relationships with other forum members. If you do this correctly you will earn the trust of people within the forum and a also have the opportunity to establish yourself as an expert.
If you are doing forum marketing correctly then you don't have to be reliant on Google for traffic. By helping people out with their questions you can forget about trying to get your site to rank high in the Serps , because you will get traffic from forums in your niche.
Forum marketing works well as long as you provide helpful answers to questions and and concentrate on adding value. Once you have established trust people will start clicking through to your site from the signature link below your post.
With forums your content can get exposed to hundreds of people browsing that forum. There is no better way to get traffic in my opinion and the beauty is it will not cost you a dime.
It's a long process and you will not make sales overnight as you need to have a good reputation before people start trusting you. This is generally reflected by the amount of "likes" or thanks you have received, but once you have established yourself a couple of posts a day should be enough to bring in some sales.
Just be smart about how you tackle it, forums can be great for building relationships and your brand, but if you are just posting with the intention of getting people to click your signature link you will be onto a loser.
There are loads of forums on the internet and there's sure to be one in your niche. Just try searching Google with your "keyword" followed by "forum" and you are sure to find a large selection to choose from.
If you are not using this traffic generation method then you really are missing out, so do yourself a favour and get into Forum Marketing today.
Use my Forum Marketing Software to give yourself the edge!
Hey guys here's a review of a plugin that I've just picked up, it's called WP Picpoll and it allows you to easily set up a poll,survey or quiz on your blog. Each selected option can be used to point people to a specific page, so it could be used to promote affiliate links or for listbuilding, two areas of great interest to me.. You can either create squeeze style pages with attractive guru style backgrounds or you can embed the quiz/poll into a blog post by just entering a shortcode.
I like applications which are intuitive and getting this plugin up and running was simple, there are training resources and access to support available from within the plugin's settings page, but to be honest setting up your fist quiz or poll is so easy I doubt if you'll be needing it. In terms of usability it's very user friendly and setting up a poll takes a couple of minutes maximum. I can see some great potential for this plugin on my sites, anything that is going to encourage user interaction has got to be a good thing. The only problem most people will have is thinking up new polls and quizzes!
Have a look at the following examples:
So in the above example each one of the social Icons can be voted on once, and after voting the visitor is sent to whatever page you want. I love the translucent overlays they look great on a guru style background.
In this example you could be sending your customer directly via your Amazon affiliate link to the product in the thumbnail, again another great way to use this plugin. This plugin could definitely be good for seasonal affiliate promotions.
Or you can set up a quiz and give your visitor the opportunity to win a free prize if they guess correctly…this of course could be tied in to an optin form.
This is the example I decided to choose as I have embedded the shortcode created by the plugin into a blog post. In my example further down the page, you'll see that the Social Icons are linked to my Facebook, Google and Twitter profiles. A little unimaginative on my side, but it gives you an idea of how you could use the plugin to your advantage.
The last screenshot is for another competition, I like the aesthetics of this plugin, it looks great and the options jump right out at you. I like this plugin and will be using it here on Stealthymarketer, II just need to be a little more imaginative with its use but I certainly can see is potential.
So here we go, down below is a poll I set up with the plugin, try voting on one of the options and see the plugin in action.
[nds_poll id='2′]
Want to know another nice fact about this plugin? It will only cost you $10 to buy the single site license…and the Developers license will only cost you $10 more. This is definitely one of those plugins that will be an asset to your business and will allow you to engage well with your site visitors.

XLI, NO. 25 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1945 Copyright, Truitcei of Bryn Mawr Coll.g.. 194S PRICE 10 CENTS Dean Acheson Will Interpret Brettoii Woods The Hon. Dean G. Acheson, Assistant Secretary of State, will speak oj* "Bretton Woods" at the ninth College Assembly on Cur- rent Affairs on May 11 in Good- hart. Dean Acheson was Chairman of the Bretton Woods Conference held in the summer of 1944, at which postwar plans were out- lined for an international finan- cial organization consisting of a stabilization fund and a bank for reconstruction. Additional ex- perience as Chairman of The General Policy Committee to co- ordinate all United States relief activities abroad, as Chairman of the Food Conference at Hot Springs and as head of the Amer- ican delegation at the Atlantic JCity Conference held in 1944, has made Mr. Acheson an authority on international affairs of an( ec-, onomic nature. A career as statesman began for Dean Acheson in 1933 when he interrupted the practice of law to become Under-Secretary of the Treasury. Resigning after five months, he returned to law, but reentered the Department of State in 1941 as Assistant Secre- tary of State, in which capacity he has continued up to the pres- ent time. Miss Mildred B. Northrop, As- sociate Professor of Economics, said that Dean Acheson was "one of the few men who could make Bretton Woods comprehensible to the public." 'As You Like It' Given With Spirit Of True Comedy Goodhart, May 4 and 5. S^void.- ing the two most dangerous pit- falls of modern productions of Shakespearean comedies by neithj- er taking the plays too academical- ly, nor too lightly, the Varsity Players, under the direction of Mrs. Seyril Ruben, succeeded in presenting As You Like It, with a spirit in perfect keeping with the comedy as it was written. The production, originally sched- uled to be given outdoors i�iftl id- summer Night's Dream HWow, made the rain-caused transition into Goodhart with ease. Adopt- ing the Shakespearean customs of a stage devoid of scenery, and of scenes melting, as it were, into each other, the Players' succumbed to modernity only in the reversal of the Elizabethan procedure of casting, having to use women for all the roles. Although the opening scenes were unfortunately slow in pace, the play quickly assumed its prop- er timing, proceeding in running continuity. The lack of any inter- Oontinued on Pas* 3 WBMC Will Join 13 College System M. (ih i Ids Discusses Serious Shortages Of Europe's Food Goodhart, May 3. "Unless the European people get food before next winter, there will be serious internal revolts," said Mr. Marquis Childs, columnist recently return- ed from Europe, in his lecture on Hungry Europe. Childs contrast- ed our "safe, secure island" to the conditions in England, and Europe, emphasizing the terrific differ- ences. England, Childs pointed out, has been earnest in feeding its people. Through a good rationing system, and the complete dissolution�f pri- vate interests, the English pepole have had enough to eat, although the food is monotonous. France, however, is almost starv- ing. Its system of transportation has completely broken down�loco- motives have been left where they were hit�and although there is still food in some parts of the country, they have not been able to transport it to the large indus- trial cities. There has been a rapid increase in tubercular diseases, and also a rapid deterioration of cur- rency. The only people who have V-E Day Announced In (follege Assembly Collins Describes 1945 College Girl At Women's Club The Intercollegiate Broadcasting System will present a program on the theme ."students united for peace", Thursday night, May 10. The I. B. S. represents an associa- tion of thirteen college radio sta- tions, including W.B.M.C, which will be linked up'"fl*r.the first time over a coastal network in this broadcast. Bryn Mawr will be represented on the program by statements from Miss Robbins, Miss Taylor, and Helin Reed on the subject of the San Francisco Conference. They will stress campus interest in peace problems, evinced in such meetings as Current Events and War Alliance Assemblies. The pro- gram will also include a message from President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia, and from for- eign students, as well as selections of international music. Originating from Columbia Uni- versity in New York, this broad- cast marks a milestone in the de- velopment of these collegiate radio systems. Members of the Bryn Mawr radio club, which has been offering regular programs Mon- days through Thursdays, hope that it will also bring their work more to the notice of the campus. Plans are now being made for a series of such broadcasts next year over na- tional and international networks. The program will be heard from 8:00 to 9:00 P>M. at 580 on the dial. All those outside the campu3 are invited to listen in the base- ment of Pembroke East. \ heat or food are those connected with the U, S., and this situation makes for hard feelings between the French and the Americans in France. In describing Yugoslavia, Greece, Continued on Page 3 The new maturity and purpose- fulness -evident in the colleges was the keynote of a panel discussion of "The American College Girl of 1945," sponsored by the Women's College Club of Princeton. The meeting was held Monday eve- ning, May 7, in the elementary school in Princeton. Speakers in- cluded Mrs. James Chadwick- Collins, Mrs. Marquand Forsyth, Mrs. George Elderkin, Miss Shir- ley Davis, Mrs. John Fine, Mrs. Walton Buttenvorth and Mrs. "Norman Dahl, with Miss Jeanne Wright presiding. Mrs. Chadwick Collins empha- sized the new determination of today's college girl in her academic work. There is a definite in- sistence, she feels, on academic training and discipline that will be useful after graduation. This has shown itself in increasing in- terest in the social sciences, na- tural sciences and history within the curriculum and in current events, war assemblies and other war WOttF extra-curricularly. ,. This new spirit has had its ef- fect, too, on the methods of teach- ing,* Mrs. Collins pointed out. There is a change in emphasis from teaching by the professor to learning by the student. This has resulted in a reduction of lecture hours in the curriculum and in compensating increase in the amount of individual research work. The student has welcomed this as effective discipline for the mind and good preparation for work after graduation. Miss Shirley Davis spoke on the work of the secondary school ad- ministrator. The secondary schools, she pointed out, have improved their college preparatory work greatly in recent years, both in academic matters and in character building through increasing stu- dent responsibility. Dean Advocates Summer School by Christina Grant Over the past few years student.; have taken an increasing interest in summer school work and have felt that it was unusally import- ant to take courses in summer school in connection with their work at Bryn Mawr. The faculty is strongly in favor of their doing some work for at least part of each summer, and would accordingly like to clarify its policy with re- spect to work done in summer school. We feel that it is both useful and, in some cases, extremely ad- vantageous for students to supple- ment their work at Bryn Mawr by taking summer courses. We would therefore give them every elfcour- agement to do so. On the other hand, we feel that the value of this kind of work ought not to be mea- sured in terms of academic credit Continued on Cage 3 War Alliance Will Sponsor Mass Meeting On Monday night, May 14th, at 8 o'clock in the Common Room tfie Alliance will hold a mass meeting which will be the culmination of its concentrated program of the past three weeks to familiarize the campus with the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, the Bretton Woods plan, and the food situa- tion in Europe. The program consisted of letters and articles in the News, a talk by Dr. Wells on Dumbarton Oaks, and an ' as- sembly in which Mr. M. W. Childs spoke on the need for food in Europe. The final phase will be another assembly this Friday at which the Hon. Dean Acheson, ContiiiHfJ on Pate 4 bndergrads Vote To Donate \$500 To Aid Europe Only two dissenting votes Jre cast in the hall meetings'held all over the campus' last Thursday night to ask the undergraduates', approval to give five hundred dollars out of the common treas- ury funds to send food to Eu- rope. The five hundred dollars is to be sent to the EmergenqfyVAfd of Pennsylvania to purchase and send packages of dehydrated food to Europe according to a , plan whereby sixteen dollars will ade- quately feed one person for six months. The Graduate Club voted to add one htfndred to the money Continues on P.igc 4 College Assembly Has ^uiet, Solemn Aspect Of Victory V-E Day, formally announced to the campus in a college assembly .^^ Tuesday morning, was a sober and quiet day at Bryn Mawr. The assembly, opening with the singing of a hymn, was held in Goodhart at 8:45 a. m. to enable the student body to hear the broad- casts of the speeches of the heads of the Allied nations. After the "Cherubic Hymn", sung by the Choir, Miss McBride, in a brief speech, expressed the feeling of the majority of people on campus. "We cannot help but feel joyful at the completion of this pafT of the war," she said, "but we must remember that this is not the end. Not only is there still much suffer- ing left in Europe, but we still have' a war ahead of us to be fought." � � A radio on Goodhart stage brought Mr. Truman's speech to the assembled college. Immediate- ly afterwards the power-house sir- en joined those of the village in proclaiming V-E Day, and Taylor bell was rung by Patricia Behrens and Dorothy Bruchholz. Those who did not attend the as- sembly were gathered in groups around radios in the. various smok- ing-rooms. Except for outbursts in the halls during the siren-blow- ing, the undergraduates remained in a fairly subdued state through- out the day. Various representative groups when questioned attributed this to. several causes. Many felt that the Pacific war involved so much fu- ture hardship that this was no time for- celebration. Others expressed the feeling that armistice rumors, rife during last week's Glee Club concert, as well as on Monday, had dulled the edge of the news and removed much of the spontaneity of reaction. Still others felt that there was Continued on Page 3 Rare Book Room Offers Array Of Familiar Children's Classics Calendar Thursday.

Dr. Harris. by Rosina Bateson '47 All work-worn, academically- dazed undergraduates should be re- quired to take time off to see the student-contributed exhibit of chil- dren's books now in the Rare Book Room. No massive tomes, diction- aries, encyclopedias, or theories written by some scholars about some other scholars gre'et the bleared eyes. Instead, an array of old favorites, opened aft inviting places, jogs the memory back to the peaceful days of Alice in Won- derland or Through the Looking Glass sans Mr. Auden's interpreta- tion. There are, roughly, about one hundred and twenty-five books on display, yet even with so many dif- ferent authors represented, almost every book looks familiar. The il- lustrations in the collection include the delightful Tenniel etchings of a first edition of Through the Looking Glass, loaned by Susan Oulahan '46, and such favorites as Kate Greenaway, Boutet de Movel, and Gustav Dore. There is a del- icacy about their work which is a far cry from the bold, vivid illus- trations found in children's book3 today, which seems to take away a little of. the -imaginative mystery that surrounded the almost ether- eal-characters of Kate Greenaway's day. There are also examples of some of the hand-painted illustra- tions dating from before the inven- tion of the color process in printing and coming from the collections of Margaret Spencer '44, and Joseph- ine Burroughs, of the graduate school. * Several editions of Thackeray's books for children, published under the pseudonym of M. A. Titmarse, lent by Amoret Bissell '48, and early American children's story dated from 1827-1860 are also on exhibit. Patricia Cowles '47 has contributed a book, Chinese Child- ren, specially illustrated for her by a famous Persian miniature paint- er. One of the most beautifully bound books in the collection, it has a cover of black and gold brocade. There could be pages written about the exhibition, which must be seen to be really appreciated. It is the kind of collection through which one could browse happily for hours, thumbing pages having a familiarity which produce an ef- fect like Alice's diminishing care, making you feel very small, and very, very carefree.

Things I liked:Beautiful stock. Screams of quality through and through. Extremely accurate. Once you fire it a few times, you know where your money went. Things I would have changed:Make sure that you pull the charging handle all the way back until the safety pin engages. If there is tension in the charging lever, you did not properly charge the rifle. What others should know:Work on your left arm strength to support the rifle in an unrest firing position. Things I liked:Accuracy, beautiful stock, Mirrored bluing. Things I would have changed:Quality control needs addressed, My 1st tx200 shot very slow and just got worse as I shot it and was very buzzy. Velocity was in the 500s after 500 pellets. Returned it and the second gun shot a little slow but wasnt as bad. Found the breech did not fully close. Decided to keep it and a shim in the cocking shoe fixed the breech issue. Now the gun shoots up right at 700 with H&N FTT. After 2 weeks some of the bluing has already rubbed of. Bluing may look deep but its really thin just polished real well. Should of stuck to my weihrauchs. What others should know:If you buy this gun check it out to make sure you get a good one air arms QC is not what it used to be. Things I liked:Nice looking rifle. Things I would have changed:Make a loading tool. Hard to load with large fingers. What others should know:Not very accurate for that much money. I have tried 4 different pellets and none are very accurate.

Barry Callebaut AG - Successful fiscal year 2002/03: Strong operational improvements, dividend increase
• Sales revenue increased by 36% to approx. CHF 3.6
billion (at constant exchange rates up 42%)
• Sales volumes rose by 17% to 891,048 tonnes
• Solid organic growth in the Food Manufacturers and Gourmet
& Specialties business units
• Operating profit (EBIT) up 20% to CHF 208.7 million, thus
achieving financial target of at least CHF 200 million in EBIT for
fiscal 2002/03
• Net profit up 1.6% due to higher financing costs; however,
benefit of improved debt profile and reduced interest volatility
risk thanks to new financing structure
• Stollwerck integration and restructuring operationally and
financially on track
• Dividend increase from CHF 6.90 to CHF 7.00 per registered
share proposed
Zurich/Switzerland, November 11, 2003 – Barry Callebaut AG, the world's leading manufacturer of cocoa and chocolate products, increased its sales revenue, operating profit (EBIT) and net profit once more, despite geopolitical uncertainties and a weak economic environment in key regions throughout the world.
In fiscal 2002/03 (ended August 31) consolidated sales revenue increased by 36% to approx. CHF 3.6 billion. Sales revenue was negatively impacted by the strong Swiss franc. At constant exchange rates, sales revenue grew 42%. Contributing to the increase were the solid organic growth in the Food Manufacturers and the Gourmet & Specialties business units, higher average cocoa prices and the first-time consolidation of Stollwerck for the entire fiscal year and of Luijckx for six months. Sales volumes rose by 17% to 891,048 tonnes, with the sales increase in the Consumer Products business unit at a disproportionately high 288% and the deliberate decrease of sales of semi-finished products to third-party customers in Cocoa amounting to -11%.
Operating profit (EBIT) rose by 20% to CHF 208.7 million and, thus, exceeded the target communicated at the beginning of the fiscal year of achieving an EBIT of at least CHF 200 million; EBIT growth at constant exchange rates was 25%. EBIT per tonne, as an indicator of profitability, improved by 3% to CHF 234.2 (+7% at constant exchange rates). CHF 31.4 million of the total of CHF 80 million in restructuring provisions set aside in the 2001/02 fiscal year in connection with the acquisition of Stollwerck have been used so far. The restructuring of Stollwerck is progressing according to plan, both from a financial and an operational perspective, and will be completed in summer 2004. The average tax rate has slightly increased but has been maintained at a moderate 19%. At CHF 103.2 million, net profit was 1.6% above the previous year's level, excluding the effect of the Stollwerck restructuring provision of CHF 80 million, which had led to a reported net profit of CHF 21.1 million for 2001/02. Earnings per share are CHF 20.00. Net profit growth was slower than EBIT growth because of higher financing costs related to the Group's new financing structure, which has improved its debt maturity profile and reduced the interest volatility risk. At the Annual General Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve an increased dividend of CHF 7.00 per registered share.
Patrick G. De Maeseneire, Chief Executive Officer, comments the past fiscal year as follows: "We successfully completed our transformation from an industrial cocoa and chocolate manufacturer to a fully vertically integrated provider of solutions to the food industry. Today we offer cocoa and chocolate products in virtually every possible form and vertical range of manufacture, from the cocoa bean to the finished product on the store shelf. We have managed to add businesses that are close to the consumer while at the same time expanding our positions in the industrial and artisanal customer segments. We are pleased with the results achieved."
Business performance
Economic conditions
The global economy remained weak throughout the 2002/03 fiscal year, having a negative effect on consumer sentiment. Chocolate sales therefore stagnated in most countries, even declining in some cases. In Western Europe, the German consumer market was affected particularly severely and the extremely hot summer weather in Europe also took its toll. Developments in Eastern Europe were more positive. Momentum did not come from North America until the second half of the calendar year. In Asia-Pacific, the tourism and gastronomy sectors suffered a massive setback as a result of the SARS epidemic. The difficult economic and political situation in various Middle Eastern countries and the implications of the war in Iraq also had a negative effect. Business with consumer products in Africa, on the other hand, was promisingly robust.
Barry Callebaut nevertheless posted encouraging volume growth in the year under review and succeeded in strengthening its market shares in its business with industrial and artisanal customers. This enabled Barry Callebaut to reinforce its strong position as the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products.
After expanding the consumer products business, Barry Callebaut grouped its activities into two clearly defined business segments as of September 1, 2003: the Industrial Business Segment and the Food Service/Retail Business Segment. The segment reporting for fiscal 2002/03 already reflects this new structure.
Development of business segments
The Industrial Business Segment is composed of the Sourcing & Risk Management and the Food Manufacturers business units and thus comprises all asset- and capital-intensive activities. The Food Manufacturers unit supplies the food industry worldwide with chocolate as well as with cocoa and semi-finished products, while the Sourcing & Risk Management unit primarily secures in-house requirements for top-quality raw materials such as cocoa, milk powder, sugar, nuts, dried fruits and semi-finished products.
The past fiscal year was characterized by extremely volatile cocoa prices. Barry Callebaut's business models are structured in such a way that fluctuations in the prices of raw materials are largely neutralized in the income statement. However, higher cocoa prices are reflected in the higher carrying value of cocoa inventories in the balance sheet.
Barry Callebaut generated mainly organic sales revenue growth of 9% to CHF 2,193.9 million in this business segment (61% of Group sales revenue). Sales volumes amounted to 631,146 tonnes, made up of 510,319 tonnes (+5% or more than 24,000 tonnes) in the Food Manufacturers unit and 120,827 tonnes – or a deliberate reduction of 11% in sales to third-party customers – in Cocoa. Operating profit (EBIT) rose by 14% to CHF 142.3 million. Total segment assets amounted to CHF 1,815.4 million, including current assets, which were influenced by the higher average price of cocoa during the past fiscal year. EBIT over total segment assets amounted to 7.8%, up from 7.1% in the previous year.
The Food Service/Retail Business Segment consists of the Gourmet & Specialties and the Consumer Products business units. Its products are closer to end-consumers and distinguished by greater value added. Customers of this segment range from craftsmen to internationally active retailers.
Sales revenue with artisanal users and retailers grew by 126% to CHF 1,377.4 million in fiscal year 2002/03, or 39% of Group sales revenue. This hefty increase is primarily attributable to the first-time consolidation of Stollwerck and, to a much lesser extent, to the acquisition of Luijckx, but also to good organic volume growth in the Gourmet & Specialties business unit. Operating profit (EBIT) rose by 31% to CHF 104.3 million. The increase is partly attributable to the consolidation of Stollwerck and Luijckx and solid organic EBIT growth from Gourmet & Specialties driven by both higher volumes and higher margins. Total segment assets amounted to CHF 776.5 million. The relatively low amount of current assets shows that the operational activities of this segment, which are mainly molding and packaging activities, are less capital intensive than the activities in the Industrial Business segment. EBIT over total segment assets was at 13.4%, compared to 33.6% in the previous year. The very high ratio in the previous year is typical for the Gourmet business, which outsources production and which represented the major part of this business segment prior to the Stollwerck acquisition. – Brach's Confections Holding, Inc., acquired in September 2003, will be consolidated as of September 1, 2003.
Focus on future growth
Barry Callebaut intends to further expand in the Industrial Business Segment in the coming year by taking advantage of the outsourcing trend underway in the food manufacturing industry, by leveraging its proven innovation power and by exploring new geographic opportunities.
The Food Service/Retail Business segment will continue to selectively expand in the coming years:
The Gourmet & Specialties business unit will continue to broaden its range of ready-to-use and ready-to-sell products – for example the "Chocolat de l'Artisan" range sold to end consumers through the Gourmet channel – in order to become a solutions provider for artisanal users of cocoa and chocolate who have to counter mounting competition, a lack of qualified personnel and shorter weekly working hours in many countries.
In the Consumer Products business, comprehensive solutions and differentiation are also becoming increasingly important. As one of the few suppliers offering both branded and customer label products, Barry Callebaut is uniquely positioned to become the service provider of choice to global retailers in the confectionery category. Going forward into the second phase of restructuring now underway at Stollwerck, the product range and brand portfolio will be further streamlined to enhance profitability. Geographically, the focus will be on the core markets Germany, Belgium, France and – after the acquisition of Brach's in September 2003 – the U.S. The operational restructuring of Brach's is well on track and will be completed at year-end 2003.
Proposals to the Annual General Meeting
The Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend increase from CHF 6.90 to CHF 7.00 for each registered share.
At the Annual General Meeting on December 10, 2003, Mr Pierre Vermaut will retire from the Board of Directors of Barry Callebaut AG after more than 20 years of service to the Group of which six years on the Board. It is proposed that Dr Walther Andreas Jacobs (40), Chairman of the Board of Brach's Confections Holdings, Inc., be elected to the Board of Directors. With the term of office of the Board of Directors being one year, the existing board members Andreas Schmid (Chairman), Dr Johann Christian Jacobs (Vice-Chairman), Rolando Benedick and Andreas W. Keller will stand for re-election for another term of office.
Patrick G. De Maeseneire, Chief Executive Officer, on the
prospects for the current fiscal year 2003/04: "The economic
signals we got during the first two months of the current fiscal
year do not give us sufficient evidence that the world economy is
recovering in a sustainable way. All in all, I am more positive on
the US market and more cautious on Europe. Past results, our
current order book and the innovations underway clearly prove,
however, that Barry Callebaut is well positioned and capable of
generating growth in both of its business segments even under
difficult conditions."

Memory IP (Novelics)
The Mentor embedded Memory IP seeks to achieve optimum dynamic power, leakage, density, speed, reliability and cost for low-power and high-performance ASIC, ASSP, and SoC designs. These memory IPs are implemented with the standard logic CMOS process with no additional masks or process steps to minimize cost and to maximize reliability and portability. Users of this Memory compete in low-power consumer, wireless, high-speed computing, industrial, and networking applications.
Features and Benefits
The memory's faster speeds, lower power and reduced leakage will translate into electronic devices that are less expensive, physically smaller, run cooler, and have longer battery life..
The Mentor Graphics patented designs include breakthroughs in the fundamental methods of implementing memory circuits, including new patented bit cell, peripheral circuits, and sense amplifier circuits that significantly reduce semiconductor area, access times, and power consumption. Consumer and commercial electronics products will benefit by:
- Reducing the costs of processing chips by reducing the semiconductor area required for memory by up to 50 percent with coolSRAM-1T and eliminating the extra mask layers and special processing steps required by competing technologies;
- Allowing more powerful features with faster memory access time compared to the industry standard;
- Significantly increasing battery life through decreased system power consumption.
All the supported memory technologies are offered through a common Web-based specification and circuit generation tool called MemQuest™. MemQuest allows a variety of memory formats, including coolSRAM-1T, coolSRAM-6T, coolSRAM-8T, coolREG-6T, coolREG-8T, coolCAM, and coolROM to be designed using the same tool.
MemQuest allows designers to customize the various attributes of the memory such as size, aspect-ratio, area, access time, dynamic power consumption and leakage current. This results in compiler generated custom memory designs in a matter of hours, instead of the typical months of development time, reducing time-to-market and production costs. MemQuest concurrently optimizes the desired specifications and automatically generates the simulation models and physical circuit design.
The embedded Memory IP's can enhance the performance of semiconductors in virtually every electronics space, including low-power consumer, wireless, high-performance computing, industrial, automotive and networking applications.
Of prime importance to many integrated device manufacturers is keeping up with the mobile features becoming available to consumers, including mobile TV. Following is a brief list of current or pending consumer electronics applications that have incorporated the Mentor Memory IP's:
- Digital cable modem
- Wireless communication
- Set-top box
- Digital camera (video or still)
- Imaging
- Multimedia & MP3 player
- Storage
- Monitor
- USB hub
- Cell phone
- TV-enabled mobile phone
- Smart phones and PDAs
- Personal navigation device
