I'd like to begin official homeschooling with my 4 y.o. DS. Up until now, all DS has known is play all day. He does have a great attention span (he sat through DH reading all of the "Spiderwick Chronicles" and one of the "Beyond the Spiderwick" books!), so I think now is a good time to start with some structured activities.
However, I'm struggling to find the right words. I don't want him to think that he will be forced in any way (he's one of those kids that will automatically resist if he feels he's being forced into doing something). I'm searching for ideas of what to say so that he will feel excited about starting homeschooling.
I'm planning on using Montessori activities, so they will most definitely be hands on and child led, but I would like to set aside time during the day for focused activities. I will most definitely ease into the routine, starting with just a couple of days per week, for however long he will tolerate (could be 15 minutes or 1 hour - doesn't matter much to me as long as he's getting into a routine).
I try to have a dialogue with him about how we plan to homeschool and that other kids do go to a school building, but that there are many ways to have "school". He seems to hear me, however, he has made comments about not going away to school "yet" because he's still little. Not sure if he understands what homeschool is, despite the fact that I talk about it on a regular basis.
I'm also in a bit of a conundrum because I'd like to start asap and not wait another 6 months until Sep. ("back to school" time seems so arbitrary to me anyway!)
If anyone has any fun phrases to use to get a preschool aged child excited about starting school at home or any other advice about talking about 'school time' (vs. playtime), I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance :)

i don't think you need to talk about it at all. it' a foreign concept to a 4 year old and i don't think it needs addressing. I would start with working little things into your rhythm. such as after breakfast we read a story or after lunch we take a walk etc. then just add more and more each day.
work boxes may work. i get those plastic 4 drawer box things from walmart and fill each box with a project/activity . i don't care when ds does them as long as they are all done by the end of the day. Sometimes i suggest he goes anc checks his boxes and generally he can find at least one thing he would like to work with.
another thing is just set up something and YOU start doing it. he will want to do what you are doing and you can model it at the same time.

Around 4yo is when my boys got all hot to trot about school. Why? Because of the fun yellow school bus. And a little bit of the peripheral fun shown in schools that they see on some shows. My 7yo outgrew it and kinda stopped asking about going to school around 5.5yo... I just kept reminding him that we homeschool, and isn't it fun that we can make lunch for daddy and go strawberry picking and go to parks and whatever else during the day? When everybody else is indoors in school? Still working on my 4.5yo - he's still a little in that "I want to go to school!" phase. But luckily, I may have found an option for us next year in the form of a co-op homeschool group that all four kids and I can go to once a week. Solves the "I wanna go to school!" thing, and gets us all out of the house.
Anyway... my 4yo was slightly mollified when I put together his own homeschool box like his older brother's (kinda like a giant workbox with all the fun books we read out loud), and when I pull out fun things like the pattern blocks and buttons and the rice and bean boxes and such. It never fails, I'll pull out a book and start reading aloud, and they're like moths to a flame. Pretty funny sometimes. :D
ETA: Sorry, a relevant point. Just start doing something "schooly" for 5-15 minutes a day. Could end up doing 3 hours one day, nothing for the next 4 days, which drives some folks nuts but works for me. ;) For my now-7yo and I last year? It was taking 20-45 minutes at night to read and do some of our quieter activities after all his siblings were in bed.
(If you're curious, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010, and yes, it's a busy house)
I'm all about being flexible with the amount of time spent. I would be totally fine with doing a lot on one day and very little the next. I would, however, like to make it part of our "rhythm". I wonder, though, if DS would be into the workboxes. Our whole house is like one big workbox, with a ton of things to do and toys to play with, which is a good thing, but I'm not sure if he'd choose a box activity, or at least choose it enough to develop his skills in that activity. I would like to try, though.
We do have a couple regular co-ops we attend, so I could stress that as being his "school", but I also like simply making it part of our day, naturally.
I'd love to hear more feedback!
kathy : , proud mama to sean (12/06) and wife to zane :
I don't think you need to introduce something specifically as "this is school". I agree with onyxravnos, why talk about it at all...just start doing! Somewhere later down the line he may ask about school, and then you can reply "you're doing it"! This is how DS and I started. Just start incorporating a little thing or two into your day. As time goes on it will become more and more things.
There are some interesting kitchen science kind of things you could do to get his attention. You could also have some things lying around for him to take interest in. Get a brightly colored abacus, count legos. Have something in the shapes of letters stored in a bin...my DS loves these letter-filled bins. Go outside, take a walk, and study plants or bugs. Grab some interesting books from the library and read a little to him each day. Find some educational crafts...there are lots of free educational coloring pages online. Lots of things to do. It doesn't have to be a specific time, like "9 AM every morning we will do 15 minutes of school", or anything. Just try to get something in every day. It will build on itself.
Kim mama to DS 12/2005, Pepper kitty , and 10/03, 1/05;
I know there are a ton of things to do that are educational, that part is not really the problem for me. I would however like to have a routine in place, for me and for him - I know not everyone rolls that way, but I do think it's important for us to have that rhythm. I guess there isn't anything that says I have to make it "official" and simply just start doing more little by little. I just thought it might be necessary to have an explanation to have it make sense to him with so many kids going away to school around him.
kathy : , proud mama to sean (12/06) and wife to zane :
If it puzzles or disturbs him that others are going away from home for school, you could simply explain that a lot of children go to school to learn but that a lot learn at home and at things like your co-op. What I found when mine was little was that I generally made a much bigger deal out of little things than were necessary, causing things to become issues on his mind that wouldn't have been. Your son may never care one way or the other about the idea of going to school - especially if he has lots of play time with other children. In fact, if it should ever start to seem like an issue that's coming up, this forum as a sticky where quite a few people have suggested books about children who homeschool.
I agree with others that there's no real need for a structure around such a little one's learning activities - but since you do feel a need for one for both of you, you can easily set up a rhythm of activities without having to call it anything or make it feel different - the less different it feels, the more likely he'll just go along with it and have fun with you. If you just set up a rhythm for doing or pulling out certain types of things at certain times of certain days, he'll feel the rhythm without your having to call it to his attention formally or call it anything - all those wonderful things KimP suggested could be planned on a calendar in a regular rhythm with ongoing small blocks of time in which your goal would be to try to include them or related activities.
He'd be learning just as much without a formal name for it, and would probably feel more comfortable with the consistency of you being his mom in a more casual way rather than what could feel a little more formal if you start to seem more of a teacher. If you have some activities of your own that you show joy and enthusiasm for, he'll probably want to join in, and that can provide lots of learning and skill building. If you keep a loose journal about all the things you see him learning from the things he does on his own and the things he does with you, it can be very reassuring.
But the bottom line is that he's awfully young for having to get started in formal activities for the purpose of education - he must be learning up a storm from all the juicy things he's doing there already. It seems to me that you've already "started" by having all the wonderful things in your home for him to play with and explore. I have a (noncommercial) page about preschool learning and activities with lots of ideas too (the list of links is underneath the box of articles).
As time goes by - as he gets to the age years from now where he would ordinarily be getting into the 3Rs, you could have things set up attractively in convenient and comfortable spots for all that, and that could give you both the comfort of feeling he has his own learning areas for those things like children who go off to schools.
Which I can't recommend enough! Even if the flavor of it doesn't suit you they can give you a great idea of how to build a good rhythm. U think they have 2 or 3 sample weeks you can download to get a sense of it.

1. "What I found when mine was little was that I generally made a much bigger deal out of little things than were necessary, causing things to become issues on his mind that wouldn't have been..."
2. "I agree with others that there's no real need for a structure around such a little one's learning activities - but since you do feel a need for one for both of you, you can easily set up a rhythm of activities without having to call it anything or make it feel different - the less different it feels, the more likely he'll just go along with it and have fun with you..."

4. "I have a (noncommercial) page about preschool learning and activities with lots of ideas too (the list of links is underneath the box of articles)..."
1. That is so true. I've tried to really avoid talking about it too much for that very reason. There have been a couple of comments here and there that made me wonder if he was feeling the desire to go, so that's why I wanted to get everyone's input on ways to make the idea of starting homeschool fun.
2. I think you might be right. Like I said, he's the type of kid that will resist if he feels like I'm trying to make him do something, so calling attention to it could be a recipe for disaster!
3. I will definitely keep some records (though I haven't quite figured out how I'd like to go about it just yet.) to keep me organized and make sure I'm meeting his needs.
4. That page is AMAZING! I will have to spend all night reading all the interesting articles. Thanks!
All in all, these blocks of time that I'm planning are very relaxed. They could last as long as he is enjoying the activity or not even get past the introduction, being scrapped for another time. What I do know is that if I don't have some type of organization in my head, the day(s) / week will pass me by. I want to be organized enough to at least offer him the opportunity to discover a new activity.
I think for now, I will reserve those books from the library, play up our co-ops a bit more, and really invest in spending quality time with DS, without having to point out that he is not going to "school". If he starts asking about school when he gets older, I'll be back on MDC seeking your wisdom! LOL
It may be too waldorfy for you but you might check out littleacornlearning.com

Thanks! I've checked it out before. Although I am taking a Montessori course, I consider myself more of an eclectic homeschooler, taking bits and pieces from lots of different methods. I love Waldorf and would like to learn more so I can incorporate it into DS's day. He's such a creative, imaginative little boy, that I think he'd really take to Waldorf activities.
Thanks everyone for your advice!

Yes, that's a pretty common reason why people want to set up a structure of some kind, and many find that just setting up a very loose one gives them the cues they need to remember a craft on some days, book reading at certain times of day, getting out into nature at certain times, etc. That kind of thing is probably a good idea for anyone, with children or not, to remind themselves of all the great ways we can be spending our time.
Have fun! : ) Lillian
i got a student planer at office max and every sunday i go through and jot down the next weeks 'school' activities. (not WHEN or how long they should take but just a few things for each day)
i find it works well to keep me on track and lets me have something in my hand to see whats been accomplished. I also keep a few samples of work in a main lesson book as a keep sake for the that years work as well as to get me into practice of record keeping. I made a post with pictures of our preschool lesson book if you want to take a peek. http://barefootedfamily.blogspot.com/2010/11/preschool-main-lesson-books.html

Then you simply need to do what onyxravnos said and start incorporating things into your day. The idea that you need to say that this particular activity is "school" to a 4yo child wouldn't really feel like a natural incorporation into your day. It would feel like a completely new, alien, unnatural thing that you're doing all of the sudden. (To be clear, I'm not really talking about "natural" and "unnatural" in terms of nature and all that, lol. Just in terms of working something into your day without it feeling weird.) He's only 4. Just decide what it is you want to do and show it to him. There's really no reason to say, "This is school" or whatever. If he wants to do it, great. If not, great. He's still a little bitty kid. :)
I just started with my 3 year old 2 weeks ago. We just started cold turkey and are both having such a fun time. Seriouosly...I am having just as much fun as he is!
My own suggestion about keeping a journal, by the way, was just about giving yourself some reassuring feedback from observations about what's going on - I find that really looking at what all is being learned from simple activities can be pretty enlightening. Records won't really need to be kept, though, unless there are some unusually demanding laws in your state, because it will be very obvious what's being learned.
You could take a look at some sort of standards list once a year or so to see if anything jumps out at you that you'd like to introduce in some way, but always keep in mind that those guidelines are just goals teachers try to touch on by the time a school year is over, not things that are all expected to be covered throughout or at the beginning of a school year.
And keep in mind that schools have their own reasons for needing to be organized about what gets studied when, but there's not need for that in a home setting - you have a luxurious amount of time over the coming years to be "ahead" in some things, "behind" in others, to explore things not normally covered in schools, and to ignore things that are sometimes included in schools . I know people tend to start out with a lot of anxiety about making sure everything is going to be covered, but it really isn't going to be as daunting as you must think now. ; ) Lillian
So I just found out that one of the kids in our long running co-op (homeschooling co-op) has been accepted at one of our city's selective enrollment public schools. After hearing all your reassuring words, I'm kind of scared of what might come of this now. I have a feeling that the family was rather celebratory about the news, so I'm hoping that the child won't turn on the others in the group and "brag" that she's going to school in the fall. Not sure how to handle that. I do plan on talking about it with the mom so that we can figure out a way to deal with the children in a gentle way. I was actually thinking it might be o.k. to not really mention it at all and just explain to the others that she'll be taking classes in the mornings (just as she would be doing when she took park district classes). Not sure if that's the best solution, we'll definitely talk (mamas). Any advice on this development is welcome!
kathy : , proud mama to sean (12/06) and wife to zane :
We just tell my almost 4 year old that "some kids do school at a place, and some kids do school at home." We're not actually the school-at-home type, much more unschooly than that, but she doesn't know the difference and is very generally very excited to talk about which friends do school at home and which do school at a place.

So...not a good sign for the Royals?
LOOOOL @ "looks like a thug"
Spurs got this, don't see them losing back to back Finals...especially against the same team.
They are looking like the favorites to win it all
What a joke
The Warriors are sooo overrated, I can see either the Suns or the Wolves making the playoffs over them
Dont get mad because your team is struggling to beat another teams bench.
LOL...if the Warriors lose this game then they are officially pretenders
66 games was nice
Lol at all the ignorant people on here, go through some random intense panic attacks for years and get diagnosed with anxiety disorder and then talk ****..
Heat vs Lakers
Heat vs Thunder
Knicks vs Lakers
and of course Celtics vs Lakers
Will the Lakers even MAKE the playoffs?
I think the NBA has some of the worst team names...Raptors, Bobcats, Bucks, Thunder, and now Pelicans? what is this the MLS?
Or is it because the Knicks aren't on it...?? :facepalm:
LMFAO...18 all stars from ONE draft class? HELL NAAAAAAAH
I don't know, I don't see the Clippers or the Grizzlies winning a championship this year.
I think he is, but just a little bit
Spurs in 5...the Celtics aren't a legit contender this year.
How many teams have a realistic chance of winning the Finals this year? right now my list would go as:
1. Heat
2. Thunder
3. Spurs
And if course if they gel and are healthy, the Lakers would...
That was frigging hilarious when I saw that
Have you seen the LSU/Orlando Magic version of Shaq?
D12, no comparison
Lebron or Shaq, obviously both during the peak of their athleticism.
Im hoping but I wouldnt bank on it

Integrate Mobile Marketing Into Your Next Google Sniper 3.0 Marketing Campaign
Mobile marketing can be an important part of your business. You need to do all of your research, so that you don't wind up losing a ton of money or even losing any of your customers. There are some tips listed below to help you to begin creating your marketing plan.
Be short and concise with your SMS messages for your mobile marketing campaign. Messages are limited to 160 characters, so put some thought into how to convey your information clearly yet briefly. If you use abbreviations in your messages, make sure they are commonly accepted and make sense to your customers.
Make your website easily navigable to mobile devices. While you may know your Google Sniper 3.0 Site works for larger computers and tablets, you need to be sure it will work for mobile phones as well. Test it using your own mobile device to see how it handles, and make any necessary changes.
Remember that mobile marketing, although it takes place via the mobile net mostly, does not have to work in promotion of an internet business. You can use mobile marketing to promote any on-location business too. In fact, this will allow your customers to see that you're even more tangible and not just an over-the-phone marketer.
When you are emailing your mobile marketing messages, you want to make sure that you have the customer's first name, and use it! When a message feels personal, people will probably read it. Spend a little time so that you are giving your customers a feeling that they can trust you.
Be sure to send text messages. People usually have a ringer that will go off whenever they receive a text. They also tend to check it right away. Just make sure to send small files such as photos of a new product that you have available, thus allowing the customer the option of receiving texts or not.
When creating a QR code, make sure you use a shortened URL. If you use a long URL, your code will be very complex and might be difficult to scan. People will not try scanning a code more than a couple of times if it does not work right away.
Don't overdo. Be aware that different people have different mobile pricing plans, so one message from you could put them over their SMS limit; how receptive do you think they'll be to your messages when you cost them too much money? Send out the fewest mobile messages per day that you can.
The principal of mobile marketing and focus should not be on gaining new customers, but on retaining your existing customer base. They will be more open to your text messages and emails than new, potential customers. Too many texts or messages to new customers can backfire. It is not unusual for a new customer to perceive a mobile message as spam.
Make sure that your website is mobile-friendly. Your mobile-friendly site should not be cluttered with graphics, and should only include basic but important information about your business that a mobile user can quickly get to. Mobile users do things quickly, and your site must display efficiently on their mobile devices if you want them to visit you often.
You must get someone's permission to send them messages. If you do not, it will be considered as spam and you could get in trouble over it. Ask people to sign up as customers, and have them tick a box that said they agree to receive promotional offers via their mobile phones.
When using mobile marketing, build your database the right way- get permission first. Don't just add cell phone numbers without a confirmation. Give customers an opt-out option where they can click either yes or opt-out to confirm . This way you will have fewer complaints from users who don't want the advertisements.
Use high quality short codes in your mobile marketing efforts! This will ensure that you create your own brand of the short code you use, and you won't be sharing with another company that could easily utilize the system abusively, causing you issues in the long run. You will encounter a higher price, but that is the price of doing mobile marketing well.
Mobile marketing can be very rewarding, but it can also be a lot of work. Regardless, if you know what to do and how to market smarter, you can help your business grow. So, do yourself a favor by doing your research and applying the tips in this article, to your mobile marketing plan.
Excellent Tips And Advice For Effective E-Mail Marketing With Click Auto Commissions
Gone are the days when business had to send out flyers to mass markets or have them put on cars in parking lots and hope for the best. Email marketing helps businesses reach their established customers as well as those who would genuinely be interested in their products. This article can help you develop an email marketing campaign that will help you reach your target.
Be sure to put the logo of your product or business in the email. This way, customers will become familiar with the logo and associate it with your company. It is best if the logo is something that will catch the reader's eye and be easy for them to remember it.
Offer a coupon to http://www.clickautocommissionsreview.com/ customers who sign up for your marketing email list. Put a form on your website where customers can sign up and set the form to email automatically new customers a coupon when they submit the form. This encourages customers to agree to allow you to send them marketing materials so that you won't be accused of sending out spam.
When sending a email as part of your marketing campaign, do not use a casual font. You want customers to take your product or business seriously, and they probably will not do that with an uncommon font. Pick out a font that is well known, such as Times Roman Numeral, Arial or Verdana.
If you want your email marketing messages to be successful, make sure you have permission to send them. If you do not have permission from your recipients, the potential consequences can range from being added to spam filters all the way up to getting blacklisted by Internet service providers themselves.
The beginning and conclusion of your marketing email should include a call to action for your customers. Be clear about what you want your customer to do, and include at least two obvious links to your site. Use clear suggestions that direct your customers to the offer your email is promoting.
If you have a client who has a birthday, make sure that you send a follow up email that includes a happy birthday message on it. Include a request on the email that tells this person to go to a particular place. The ending can include a link that tells him or her that it is possible to become a subscriber by clicking on it.
When you ask people to opt-in, let them know what to expect. Tell them what you will be sending and how often you will send it. People will be more likely to sign up if they know that you are not going to flood their inboxes with wordy emails that they have no intention of reading.
Data mine your email list and bucket your audience into various segments based off of any profiling data you have. This will allow you to be more strategic with your messaging and effectively increase your chances of higher open and click through rates. Even if you don't have profiling, look to geo-targeting. Various regions respond differently to different types of messaging.
Don't send important information out around a major holiday. People are normally not at work and are not spending time at their computers, so most likely they will not see your emails. This is not a hard rule and some holidays will require communications. These exceptions would include one day sales or other similar promotions.
Include a link at the bottom of any marketing emails that allows people to unsubscribe easily. If someone does not want to receive your messages, providing a simple way for them to unsubscribe is preferable to ending up in their spam folder. It will also help to protect your reputation as a business that respects its customers.
You should send your emails as a plain text every once in a while instead of always sending them in HTML format. This gives things a more personal touch and helps the subscriber feel that you are trying to connect. Do not use it too much though because then you may be seen as being too unprofessional.
As previously noted, flyers that are posted on cars and sent to everyone on a mailing list were notoriously expensive, time-consuming and mostly ineffective. Email marketing has come along and allows you to send market your business in a much more effective manner at a fraction of the cost and with a greater success rate. Use the information in this article to help you create a successful email marketing campaign.
Helping You Better Understand Facebook Marketing With These Simple To Follow Auto Mobile Code Tips
Facebook is a very popular site across the world. It is a great way to market your business. There are free ways to use Facebook in marketing a business, as well as some paid advertising options. No matter if you choose the free options or if you pay, the following tips will help you make the most of your efforts.
Set some goals for your Facebook marketing campaign. You can launch your campaign on a trial basis if you are not sure how your audience will react to it. Once you get a better idea of how interested your customers are, you should set some reasonable goals for your campaign.
In order to make the most of your marketing efforts, build a fan base that is solid. Wait until you have a decent number of fans before you invest a lot of money in marketing. When you hit that number, conversion rates skyrocket.
Use photos in every Facebook update that you do. People love looking at photos on Facebook. The more visual a post is, the better chance it has of actually becoming a bit viral. So don't let any opportunity to get visual pass you by, even if your trying to get a post out quickly. Take the time to make it visually great.
Consider using Facebook advertising. By paying for Facebook ads, you can reach a larger audience by targeting specific demographics. This can get your Facebook page a lot of attention, and that's important. Try it out for a while and then cancel it if it does not seem to be working.
Give your audience spots to sign up on the Facebook page. Providing something useful just for registering is a good way to keep the conversation going with interested parties. Offer something valuable in return for signing up, or create a sweepstakes which requires that information for entry.
Create infographics. Infographics are a step up from pictures, and include information and relevant information that can be useful to your target market. When you create an infographic, it is even more likely to be shared by others because the information is valuable. This raises your profile, but it also makes you look like an expert.
Once you create a Facebook account, it is very important for you to be quite active. If you never post any content, how can you expect people to remain interested. Videos, pictures and regular postings are just a part of what you will need if you want to do well on Facebook.
Remember to post on your Facebook page. When a business sets up a Facebook account, they will often release a flurry of posts, and then nothing for months. For this type of marketing to be successful, you need to post in a strategic manner. You do not need to post 15 times a day, but a few times a week is a great idea.
It is possible to send out messages to all of your subscribers at once. While you certainly do not want to overuse this feature, as it will annoy people, it could come in very handy if you have a big announcement or you are running a contest. Save it for only your most important announcements, however.
Do not constantly share business related posts with your audience. While some people may want to hear this type of information regularly, others may find it quite boring. You should try your best to focus your postings on your products, and post less about the way your business actually works.
Now, you're equipped with useful Facebook marketing tips. Facebook is very cost effective so it is not an insurmountable hurdle to put this advice into place. Make sure to start now, because your competition is likely not using Facebook. It is also possible that they are reading this article, so begin now.

Page One Engine- Secrets Your Peers Won't Tell You About Search Engine Optimization
If you have ever wondered what the keys are to increasing traffic to your business website, personal website, blog, or other online forum, you have come to the right place. Search engine optimization can be the difference between invisibility or visibility. This article has a few tips on SEO that will help you to be more visible.
To learn SEO, the best place you can go is to blogs and forums and read advice from real people just like you, who have built their businesses from the ground up. Those so-called gurus of the game are all trying to sell you something, so you should avoid those guys. Stick with people who started out just like you. That's where you'll find the best advice.
One easy search engine optimization technique you can implement is to include keywords in your HTML title tag. This helps the search engines to easily determine what your page is about. Not only that, but when visitors search for your keyword, it will show up in bold in the search results, drawing more attention to your listing.
When optimizing a website for search engine rankings, be sure to check out what your competitors are doing. Follow the links on the first page of results for the search terms you're interested in optimizing for. The source code and content of those pages can tell you a lot about how the search engines rank pages.
When coding a site to optimize its search engine presence, keep your CSS and JavaScript files in an external folder. This helps de-clutter the source code for the individual pages, making the pages smaller and easier to manage. It also ensures that any errors in your CSS code won't interfere with the search engine's ability to index your pages.
Review your product line every so often and take some time to trim the fat, especially as you start to grow. If you are doing well on your sites that offer tier 2 and subscription commissions, it may be time to let go of the ones that only offer one time payouts.
Cloaking is a technique where one optimized site is given to the search engines and a completely different, un-optimized site is given to consumers. This practice is very controversial and may result in your http://www.pageoneenginereview.org/ site being considered spam. Take great caution if this is a road you decide to travel down.
In order to obtain the actual search volume for your keywords, you may want to consider opening a pay per click account. The account will cost you, but it may be worth it to see the real search volume data for your keywords, to be able to monitor trends, and also to view the impact when you modify or change your keywords. To better manage your search engine optimization, a pay per click account is a definite must.
A great way to get your site more visible is to begin posting blogs on your site. Blogs increase the size of your site and give you a way to connect with your visitors. This, in turn, increases your search engine visibility, which will give you many more visitors.
You can improve search engine crawling of your website by including relevant words in your URL. Using a simple and descriptive URL increases the possibility that a user will remember it. If they can remember it easily, they are more likely to return to your site or create a link to it.
Webpages for your best-selling products should be carefully used so that your whole site benefits. In some cases individual product pages may appear high on search engine results pages and they can have a big impact on overall ranking if links are used thoughtfully.
You should make sure that the content on your site is readable rather than stuffed full of keywords. Many people do not understand how search engines work and just want to be able to get the information they need in a quick manner. If you keyword stuff your site, it could make it difficult to read and thus put a damper on the amount of traffic you get.
There is no doubt that a grasp of the importance of search engine optimization and how to apply it will help your overall profitability. Utilizing SEO is a practical choice that you have to embrace to compete in any online forum. This article has given you the groundwork to build upon so that you can maximize your online potential.
Email Marketing Doesn't Have To Be Tricky From Build My list
A great way to build success with any buildmylistscam.com website you're thinking about building or have already established is to get into email marketing. You want to have this tool available for you to use so that you can use a variety of methods to obtain the success you hope to get one day.
When following up to your customers via email, you could try following up with some kind of reminder. For example, you could add a "visit today" button onto your ad. In addition, the closing of the postscript could inform your customers to make sure they do not disregard the CTO.
You should always ask for permission before you add someone to your mailing list. Most clients will simply look at them as spam and delete them right away. It may even violate your ISP's policy by doing so.
Email marketing marches on, and the good old newsletter has become largely obsolete. Instead of sending around a general circular for all of your subscribers, expend the effort to tailor emails to the interests of their particular recipients. There are many robust programs and services that can help you do this automatically.
Give your marketing emails the same consideration that you give your site content and other marketing materials. Too often businesses take a too-casual approach to their email marketing efforts, and seemingly small errors like typos end up undermining their readers' perception of their level of professionalism. Before you add an email to your marketing rotation, ask yourself if it would inspire you to buy.
Try customizing your messages for your email recipients. Try including their name in the email so that it feels more warm and personal. This can help build better relationships with your customers, and they may be more inclined to read what you have to say in these personalized email messages.
Do not send emails that use images to convey the most important information. Some modern email clients might automatically revert to a format that doesn't display images. This may make your messages look unreadable and unattractive if you are too reliant upon images. Always put a priority on text, and be sure to use descriptive alt tags if you choose to include images.
Automatically unsubscribe customers who don't respond to your marketing materials after a certain number of emails. If your customers aren't responding to your emails anymore, they most likely have lost interest in your newsletter but aren't annoyed enough by it yet to unsubscribe. By unsubscribing them, you avoid generating bad feelings that could hurt your business.
When someone subscribes to your email marketing list, confirm that this is what they really intended to do. Implementing this double opt-in strategy will make it much less likely that your email provider will receive spam complaints about you. Also, you will be assured that the people receiving your emails are actually interested in what you are sending them.
You should be honest about the kind of content you will be sending via email before people register for your list. Tell them exactly what kinds of emails they'll be getting and when they'll be getting them. This helps keep new subscribers from being surprised by your email content or quantity.
Emphasize the benefits of your product or service whenever possible. Subscribers will want to know what's in it for them, so tell them–in the subject line, in your links, and in your content. Your subscribers will be much more interested in your message if they feel that it can help them in some way.
Plan out your emails in advance. Take into account that you are human, and that you will make mistakes when creating an email. With this realization in mind, allow enough time to review, revise and edit your emails before sending them out to your subscribers. This can help you avoid many mistakes in your emails.
When following up with clients, you could send a follow-up email to them with a message that confirms their interest in one of your products or services. You could include a link that says to watch it. The ending of the message could include another link that allows them to add your product or service to their cart.
Using all the information that you learned today you can now start marketing through email and do it in a way that can help you become successful. Just make sure that you are always applying yourself, when you stay positive and apply yourself then you naturally gain success with something like email marketing.
Are You Ready To Take On Forex With Binary Boom?
The foreign exchange market, also called forex by many in the industry, is a worldwide market that is specifically made for trading foreign currency. The foreign exchange market allows for currency conversion and trade in international markets. In order successfully enter the foreign exchange market and trade properly, follow the tips found in the following article.
Practice with a demo account before putting in real money. Forex trading can be risky and complicated. Using a demo brokerage account will allow you the time to get over the learning curve without risking your skin. Use the time in the demo to test your ideas and skills and see what really works.
Before signing up with a Forex broker, read all of the reviews about that broker that you can find. Take the average of all of the reviews, and treat any strongly negative or positive reviews as suspect. Some brokers may plant fraudulent positive reviews, and some users just like to complain. The better the average of the reviews, the more likely the broker is to be good.
When trading in the foreign exchange markets, follow the trends in order to make the best profits. Don't buy into something hoping it will turn around. Don't sell on a rising currency, and don't buy into one that is falling. Trends are more likely to continue than they are to end.
Watch your use of margin very carefully. Margin is a great tool but it can lead you into massive debt in a heartbeat in the forex market. Margin can increase profits but if the market moves against you, you will be responsible for the shortfall on the margins.
When trading with a broker, it is important that you choose an account package that fits your expectations, as well as, your knowledge level. Meeting with your broker and deciding what is the best move can be tricky, so always go with the lowest leverage when just starting out.
Try splitting your trading capital into 50 equal parts. This can keep you from having major losses by having everything on the line at one time. This can also keep your losses down to about 2%. If you have a few losses that occur, you won't be taking any major hits to your capital.
When trading in the Forex market, never risk more than 5% of your account at any one time. This means that about 5% of the money in your account should be actively traded. Since Forex trading uses very high leverages, limiting yourself to trading only 5% of your account means that you will never lose more than what you have available.
Before you deposit any money, make sure that your http://www.binarybooms.org/ Forex brokers offers the currency pairs that you would like to trade. The major pairs are USD/CHF, EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY. Nearly all Forex brokers offer these pairs, however, if your want to trade a different currency pair, you need to check that your Forex broker offers it first.
You should have a chart, showing current gold prices visible, when you are trading the USD. Gold is one of the commodities that is most affected by the value of the USD. Historically, the price of gold and the USD, trend in opposite directions, so observing trends in the gold market, can help you to predict the future value of the USD.
Furthermore, the foreign exchange market, or forex, is made for trading currencies in international markets around the world. The tips that were provided in the above article should allow you to not only enter the market as a beginner, but crack the market and formulate techniques that will allow you to maximize your profits and success.

I am an older woman and really have to buy foundation with care due to fine lines and some wrinkles.Used Mary Kay for 25 yrs but was tired of consultants and the pressure for beauty shows etc..Just this past week was the real test for colorstay as I had early appointment for 9:00 am.Did not stop till late at night makeup was great....phone call had emergency and left house did not come home until 9:30 a.m. next morning looked in the mirror and the makeup was still great could not believe it.....I use Buff and did buy sand beige but sand beige will darken and not look as good as the buff.Buff is a little light in color for my skin but looks much better through out the day...I am really impressed with this makeup and hope that they keep the formula as its great for me....I use oil of olay and a primer before I apply the makeup.Apply with fingers and have a smooth finish also use a sponge to take off any excess..Use powder blush and light dusting of powder to set the make up....Price will vary from store to store .I have tried the liquid but like the whipped better....just read today that drug store makeup is as good or better than high end dept.store cosmetics......

The color I have, true beige is ever so slightly not as perfect as I would like. Wish it were a tad brighter or more pinky.
I like to play up the color on this because of the pigmentation. Early tan is a nice peachy toned color. I can get awway with if I want to look kind of tanned. This makeup does not ozidize. I find most mousse makeups do not ozidize which one of the reasons I like mousse makeups
I think the name and marketing is deceiving. I really dont think the consistency is whipped! i dont even think it belongs in a jar. It is a really heavy liquid...it is like a lead paint consistency. if you have seen paint, that is the consistency. very unsanitary and also very messy..it gets all over.
I only wear this if I am outdoors or I know I will have a trying hard day, and I am exhausted...and I know I need a heavy coverage to mask my tired looking face. It is a good mask like makeup without being too heavy. And that is when I wear it. It normally is too heavy for me...I am not into the heacy makeup look...this will sure make it look like you are wearing some, so be prepared...
dont think that this is all necessarily criticm. This kind of makeup does have its place in the makeup world. A lot of high ened foundations, aim to acheive the same finish and staying power as the revlon colorstay whipped, so I am not knocking it...i just dont need this everyday. I like to show my face. it depends on what you want

As someone who has struggled with hormonal, cystic acne and oily skin on and off since the age of 13 (I'm now 25, almost 26), it has been impossible to find a foundation that does not make my face a veritable oil slick and/or a mountain range of painful acne. I have tried everything, from Bare Minerals to Clinique to high- and low-end drugstore brands. While I do have to give a shout-out to anything Clinique, it just got too expensive to buy a new $30 tube every month to month and a half. I've been on the hunt for the perfect drugstore foundation forever and finally found it in Revlon Colorstay Whipped. It is AMAZING. The texture is perfect, it is easy to apply, and the coverage is moderate to full yet not cakey. I have tried several "whipped" or "mousse" foundations and they ALL made my face incredibly greasy by the end of the day. Liquid foundations tended to melt off of my face, leaving it splotchy with little coverage, and powders always looked too makeup-y and fake. This is the only foundation I have ever (ever!) used that leaves my face non-oily all day until I take it off; there is never reason for me to reapply or touch-up throughout the day. It was easy to find a color that matched my skin tone (200 for me) and, for me, it does not oxidize to a different shade after a couple hours of wear; what you see is what you get. The tub is small and the price is a bit high for a drugstore foundation ($14.50 where I live), but it is totally worth it. A little bit goes a long way; a tub usually lasts me about a month and a half! And the best part it, it does not make me break out! It truly is my Holy Grail, miracle foundation.

Being in the beauty industry I love finding Drugstore brand makeup thats comparable to the prestige brands as not all of my clients can always afford the high end stuff. I myself struggle with finding foundations which meet my expectations as I'm blessed with the skin type "combo/ T-zone oily" uugh in addition to fine lines on the forehead. So I want the coverage without the weight, no settling in the lines and something that stays put for more than 3 hours! Not to much to ask I think.. So based on rave reviews and really liking Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation, This too needed to be tried-n-tested.
The color selections were limited so I picked up the #250, did a swatch test, it disappeared as it should..Sold! I used it this morning following my daily routine of = Cleans, tone, oil-free moisturizer, primer, then foundation Note: I do NOT set my liquid foundation with powder as this creates the cake-effect (on me) I prefer to set with setting spray. The whip went on smoothly (used fingers then blended with stippling brush) it blended very easily and oxidized into a very nice airbrush/matte finish. as it did, I noticed It also lighten up a bit, too much for my liking. So I set out to exchanged this 250 wanting a 300 or 310. Walgreens, CVS, nor Walmart had either of these! my next option was a 320. NOT happenin. It's now 6.5 hours later from time of application and it feels greasy. It doesn't look greasy but still Not the result I get from the liquid version.
In conclusion and in my humble opinion, if you live in a humid state, have combo skin this may not be your best fit. However, what this comes down to is that each of us have our own expectations and idea of our perfect foundation. These products produce different results for each person, so give it try and in worst case if you don't love it simply return it.. :)

This has been my HG foundation since it came out. If you have oily skin and deal with foundation oxidizing all the time, I highly recommend this! This stays put no matter what! It's definitely a long wear foundation. It's also a heavier coverage so it covers blemishes better than anything I've tried, yet it doesn't FEEL heavy. It's a light, almost mousse like creme and blends in easily. My advice is to use a a light hand. You don't need much of this foundation. I apply is with an Eco Tools Stippling brush and an Elf small stippling brush to get around the eyes and nose, and this is my favorite way of applying this foundation. So, after using this consistently since it came out, I decided to try Bare Minerals for a while because I've always been curious about it. I completely stopped using this all together for a few months and truly forgot how much I loved it. The Bare Minerals felt thick on my skin, did NOT cover blemishes well and had little to no staying power, also showed every little dry spot and bump. When I went back to my Revlon Colorstay Whipped I was reminded of how much better it is. My skin looks airbrushed.

i LOVE this product. i've only used it with my real techniques expert face brush. and it works really great. the coverage is a little less than the liquid version of the revlon colorstay, but can still be built to a medium or full coverage.imo this lasts longer and the finish is more natural, a kind of "my skin but better". the original colorstay foundation is fabulous too however, the finish is a little too matte looking when intially applied. the whipped colorstay foundation looks more true to skin and the oil control is fabulous. when the original foundation breaks down at the end of a 12hr day i see shine peaking through but when the whipped foundation breaks down at the 12th hr i just look slightly luminous. the only thing i'm not entirely enamored with is the large bulky packaging this comes in (not good for traveling). and the only other gripe is that it does stick to my dry patches. but its not a breaking point for me. my color is buff and i'm a nc20-25. the color match for me is also pretty spot on.

Cream/Mousee foundations are my favourite to use as they're good coverage but not heavy. I bought this in buff, which is the lightest. The coverage is full and you don't need alot for your whole face. I'm not 100% on the packaging and don't like using a lot. Overall nice foundation :) little pricey though.
