1.0 INTRODUCTION

Creating your own product for sale to your market is by far, a better idea, but it has some pros and cons.

2.0 OBJECTIVES

• To give details procedures involve in creating an information products
• To provide resourceful links to make this possible
• To encourage learners to use this ecourse to plan and create their first information product

3.0 MAIN COURSE

When you are about to start an Internet Marketing business, two things will come come to your mind.

The two things are:

• are you going to sell your own products, and render services directly from your own self hosted website
• or sell someone else product and services?

In other words, what are you going to sell to your customers?

3.1 Start with Information Product

Let me assume that your answer is that you want to sell your own information products. You may not want to start with a service like web hosting or website design service as you may not be a Technical person (AKA a Techie).

Hopefully, you will get to that point someday, if that is what you want. But for now it is a good flay of wisdom to offer an information product for obvious reasons - it is an easier, faster and highly profitable approach to online business.

Creating your own product for sale to your market is by far, a better idea, but it has some pros and cons:

3.2.0 The pros

• The Leverages

Internet offers the greatest leverages now for any business than had ever existed in Industrial History till date.

If you have not done so before now, please hurry, find and read the book 'Retire Young, Retire Rich' by Robert Kiyosaki, and you will understand the above statement more.

This simply means more leverages, more profits at shorter period for your business.

• Global Marketplace

Having even one digital product to sell to the whole world is abundantly more than enough to pull you out of the woods - ie if you know what to do.

Infact, it is knowing the process that really matter in this business, and that is what you should pay rapt attention to learn in these your formative years in this business.

After that, the rest is history, and it is you that is going to create or rather, recreate that your life history.

• Deploying the Power of Global Alliances

By way of Affiliates who offer their lists and expertise to serve you in marketing your product (s) for free.

• Better Kitted for Success on a Global Dimension

Talking about the skills and experience you gain in the process, you are among the best, on a global scale, not just a local champion and not just for a while but for an expired period of any foreseeable future. Can you beat that?

• You Become a Highly Marketable Expert

You can now build more and more products faster after the initial experience. Your can do this for yourself and others if you wish to.

• Robust Resources for Premium Sales

Your initial product can easily be turn into other forms for sales at higher prices - Audio, eBook, Membership site, etc.

• Residual Income Extraordinaire

You just create it once and sell over and over again, with few and rare revisions when necessary to keep up with technological development in the marketplace.

• High returns on investment

Such that is never heard of in any other industry. Most of the time, when done, correctly, it usually brings in a consistent basis, over 100% returns on investment (ROI).

There are so many other advantages to be enjoyed by a digital product owner, but let us just break here so that we can focus on other related issues.

3.3.0 The cons

3.3.1 The Learning Curve

This will cost you a bit more in terms of time and money.

But, it is doable.

3.4 A Blissful Start

If you are a professional or you have a high in demand skill set, you can easily start by selling some useful advice on that online.

For instance, you may be a Tailor, Seamstress, Organist, Teacher, Nurse, Doctor, Engineer, Accountant, etc. Do market research on the aspects of your profession that people are searching for more information with the tools that we discussed in chapters 2 and 3 of this ecourse.

Use those results of your market research to build your own product as we will discuss in this and subsequent chapter.

A teacher may for instance decide to own a website and teach the whole instead of just his classroom members. Look in the direction of any of the following courses which are already in high demand globally:

beauty tips,

language lessons - French, German, Russian, Chinese and even English.

Remember, our world has become a global village, there is therefore a very high demand for these lessons worldwide.

A Nurse can teach Health with special bias on Natural Remedies. Most ailments that have become anathema in Western (Orthodox) medicine have been resolved with the help of these natural remedies. Thus, information on natural cures for cancer, diabetes, arthritis, etc. are selling like hot cake online now.

We have noted somewhere that as far as information marketing is concerned, the big three areas are Health and Beauty, Love and Relationship, and How to Make Money.

But this does not mean that information is not selling in other areas, or that people are not making a living online selling other products outside the big three. For instance, an Engineer may resort to Technical Writing. People who are not even Engineers are doing well in technical writing.

In your own country, what is the current challenges that people have? Remember your information product is not meant to be all about you, but to help people who buy them to solve their immediate problems.

Some people in your country want to travel abroad, learn baking, get overseas education, do rice farming, do importation, export cassava and garlic, learn computer programming, web design, SEO, decoration, etc., etc.

Please note that to minimize delay and confusion of what product to sell, you must first of all decide if you want to start selling at the local or foreign market .

There are a whole world of differences in both marketplaces.

Again, you do not have to be an expert.

Just find out what people want and assemble information that satisfies that specific want and give it to them at a profit.

3.5 Remember, 'Everything is a Remix'

Google for 'Everything is a Remix on Vimeo' and watch the online video.

Also remember what Steve Jobs said:

'Good Artists Copy, Great Artist Steal. We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas' - Steve Jobs, 1994.

This boils down to: creativity + innovation (s) = invention (s) .

Again, let's look at it this way, the basis of modern day information and communication industry started with the invention of:

Telephone, then,

Radio, then,

Telegram (telegraph), then,

Black and white television, then,

Colored television, then,

Satellite television, then,

Mobile telephone, then,

Mobile satellite television (in mobile phones and PCs), then,

Mobile private and public satellite Video (TV) Channel eg YouTube

Mobile private and public satellite Radio Channel (in mobile phones and PCs), then,

And so on and so forth ... more abound that I have not mentioned here, and many more are yet to come.

I am not about the order of which one came first, I am leaving that to the students of history and philosophy of science, but my concerns are:

the connectivity of the basic idea * + the main new idea ** ,

the creativity ,

the innovation and

the 'invention mix' (as in the 'market mix').

And, it all started with GRAHAM BELL's telephone.

In fact, if you scour the internet, you will discover that, it was not Graham Bell that originally invented the telephone, but the court, US and history at large just credited it to his name because of the wise and skilful innovations he added to the original patent that made it commercially viable till date!

( * the basic idea or the general idea here refer to communication by the old, usual and the natural means.

** while the main new idea here refers to communication by the new means ie the newly discovered or to be discovered means, in the case of telephone - communication by means of electrical wires ).

That is what I referred to as 'stealing really' in chapter 9 of this course:

In our days - the 21st century, you do not even need to steal, just ask the experts for a sample or complimentary copy and they will happily oblique.

So do not be afraid to give an old information a new dress, shape or form. It could turn out to be very useful to you or at least to the rest of the people out there.

No, just go and take a long-drawn-look at the marketplaces, the categories, the niches and the sub niches and you will discover profitable niches to play along.

Sites like Nairaland, Hot Spot, ClickBank or JVZoo are good places to begin.

3.6.0 How to Decide on the Kind of Product That You Want to Create

Please note well what I want to say now.

It is what makes the difference between a successful business and a struggling one. It also applies to offline business, not just internet marketing only.

Do not sell what people are not looking for. Find out what they are looking for to use and resolve their problems and fetch out or create the information product (s) for them and they will happily and repeatedly hand over their money to you in exchange for the solution to their problem.

Another way to say this is:

People generally want to buy solution to their problems. They have a pain they want to heal, they have a sore or painful area in their live that they want to resolve as soon as possible or they have a level of pleasure that they want to enjoy. That is the reason they go online to seek for solutions.

Thus, your product must be a solution to their sore or painful areas of their lives, or it must provide the pleasure they need. It must give them a specific pain (s) or give them a specific pleasure (s) they were looking for.

That and that alone is what will make them match down your website in droves in search for your product. So far as it resolve the pains or provide the needed pleasure, they will happily and repeatedly pay you for it.

But, there is still another way of saying this: 'in online business, first, find out what people want to buy, then, find (or create) the product and sell to them at a profit'.

In practice, this applies in reverse order to offline business: where people first, find or create the product before they set out to find a market to sell to.

Thus, this small difference is what makes online business a highly profitable venture compared to offline counterparts.

By the time you finish the process of getting your information product, the market is ready, willing and even very hungry to buy it from you.

3.6.1 Meet Specific Need

You Can Be Sure Your Product Will Meet Specific Need and bring in high returns by doing the following things:

• Conduct a Survey of Your Audience

This is possible if you have an existing Blog or Email list. If not, do not worry, there are many other ways to do this as we shall see next.

On your blog comment or email feedback, ask them the type of product that they will like to have, the format and the topics they will like treated. Find time to interact with your blog readers or members of your list. It can be very rewarding.

• Scour the Internet for Blog Comments and Forums on Your Niche Market

Many people go online to talk about their problems and their cares. If there are many people talking about a certain issue in a forum or blog, this means that products that resolve such matter will sell well. Some blogs and forum required signed membership for this very reason, so do not be afraid to sign up. Do not ignore the social media in the process: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google Hangout, etc.

• Read Between the Lines

This an advanced tactics. If you are already selling affiliate products online successfully, then watch out the type of products that people buys regularly and create similar product of your own in the market. It will sell like wildfire.

Remember, everything is a remix!

Not only in this business but in all aspects of life, everything is a remix.

You can also observe your blog for the most broadly read articles and then create related products for sale. Then just add your links to those popular products and you are good to go.

• Showcase Your Expertise

I have already talked about this in the previous paragraphs. As a professional, if you have a high-in-demand expertise (eg a beautician, physiotherapist, naturalist, etc.), then you can do market research to find out how people like you are selling theirs online and follow suit.

To avoid creating a product that will not make you money for your effort and investment follow these step one by one and will you find among them one, two or more that you can follow through based on your level of experience.

Please go back and follow the above steps one after the other to arrive at a marketable and profitable product (s).

3.7.0 Start with Your Most Convenient Method

• Audio - you can just read out or dictate or talk what you intend to write in a standby microphone in a silent environment where there is no background noise. At the end what you have is an audio product that you can sell anywhere around the globe.

Audacity is one of the best tools for doing this, Google for: audacityteam.

• eBook - later, copying out the content of your audio product into a computer software like the Microsoft word (Open Office, it's a FREE software, just browse and get it on the net) will create an eBook for you.

To sell it online all you need is to turn it into a Portable Document File (PDF) and it becomes a scalable product. More on this in a while.

• Video - in most part of the world, people who wax music for the first time normally start with an audio CD and later a Video CD and progress to other formats including FLAC, MP3, WMA, WAV, etc. Egypt vice versa.

Did you ever ask, why?

Convenience, cost and preferences.

Camtasia Studio is one of the best and industry standard nowdays for online video. But you can even start with your smart phone and upload the videos onto YouTube and it will be acceptable while you are making money to acquire expensive camera or learning how to use online software like Camtasia.

3.8 Other Product Forms

In the final analysis, your product must take so many forms so that you can sell it in so many markets in response to the market preferences.

Such forms include:

Audio training

Video series

Questions and answers

Membership Site with new content added monthly

eBooks

Coaching supported by telephone calls,

Emails,

Skype,

Webinar,

Short reports,

Assignments,

Templates,

Continuity programs - weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, bimonthly, etc.

Workbooks,

Swipe files, and so on and so forth.

Suppose you want to start by creating your own digital product now, how do you start?

3.9.0 The Process

Below is an example of steps to follow in your information product creation process:

3.9.1 Do your market research

Google Keyword Planner, Market Samurai, and Longtail Pro, Nichebot are the best tools in the market for this task. I have already discussed in one of this course how to use at least one of them. You can Google for others.

3.9.2 Sourcing for Marketable Information

To make product creation a lot easier for most green horns and even topflight experienced business executives, there are ethical ways that you can source for information to make your new products.

Such ways include but not limited to:

• Private resale rights

Just type that into your browser and you will find multiple sites to choose from. Usually you buy and rewrite them as your own product and add your own angle to the product. Remember this product is sold to many people and not only you, so endeavor to polish it to make it unique. If you are using free products for this, always endeavor to check out the rights, to avoid legal issues in the future.

• Interview experts

Find out experts in your field and interview them. You can then use transcription services at Fiverr, Upwork, etc. to write them out in any form that you want.

• Compile popular questions and give answers

You can do this by yourself even as a newbie in your market niche. You can also use freelancers at: Peopleperhour, 99designs, Craiglist, Toptal, etc.

• Permissible thefts

Go to EzineArticles.com and browse for your popular categories. Download about 50 articles in your chosen niche topic and compile them into an eBook. You can cite them in bits and pieces and spice the book up with some Vimeo or YouTube videos.

This is legal so far as you keep the authors' resource boxes intact. Remember to insert link to your site as you introduce the subject matter, turn it into PDF and sell.

• Record other people seminar and reuse

You can help a friend record his seminar on the agreement that you will use it also to promote your own products. Your phone or your camera can do the job cheap for you, no need for a professional cameraman.

• Set up webinars and teleseminars

You need some experience and confidence to do this, albeit it is not a hard thing. You can skip this till when you have enough money to hire expert to help you in the process. There are free and paid services to choose from.

The free ones are: Google hangout, zoom, bigbluebutton, join.me, meetingburner, mikogo, zohomeeting, webhurdle.

Anymeeting and gotomeeting are paid service, but they also have free trials for new clients.

• Screen capture your skills using your computer

If you want to teach your skills to online audience, this is the preferred approach.

There is a free tool you can use for this: screencast-o-matic

• Adapt a successful eBook into another language

China is a global destination now for global trade. Find a book, obtain the right and adapt it into Chinese and it will sell like hot cake. You can also do this with other books and other languages.

This is called Transcription service.

3.10.0 The Act and the Art of Creating Your Own Product

3.10.1 Write out your product outline

Start with major topics that you would discuss in your eBook, then write out the bullet points under each topic. As you fill in simple explanations in between the major topics will later become the chapters, while the bullet points will become the sections and sub sections of the book.

3.10.2 Write the eBook in Full

After the initial rough or manuscript as some may like to call it, go through the product again with the aim of crossing the tees and dotting the ais. Also read the whole plot with the aim of ensuring Mechanical Accuracy and some Congruence in the points presented.

Some people may differ on this by saying that you should not aim at perfection, there is actually no prefect product in the market as the Internet world is always changing in a very fast rate.

But I am not advocating perfection here, but wish to clarify the fact that there is always a growing competition in the marketplace and most victims are poorly and unduly hurried products.

If you found it more convenient to start with the Audio format, you can also use this software to get both Audio and eBook copies delivered to you online at the same time at:

dragon speech recognition software

3.10.3 Turn it into PDF

From your Microsoft Word (Microsoft Open Office), you can easily convert your eBook into a PDF format. PDF is a globally available software that is usable in all types of computers.

This is advisable to do as you will be sending your eBook to different people in different parts of the world. Different people in different environments are orientated to different software, so it is good to have your eBook in a generally acceptable format that satisfies these global markets.

Senseforth, think and see your business as a global venture.

3.10.4 Make Your eBook Beautiful

It is more than a common sense to note here that if you add an attractive eBook cover to your product, you will attract more sales than if you just sold it as an ordinary PDF.

Period.

If you do not know how to do this yourself, employ the services of experts online at ebookbaby, myecovermaker or even at Fiverr.

3.11 Write the Email Swipes

Email swipes will form part of your marketing materials.

See yourself now as a Vendor in one or more of the Affiliate Program sites like ClickBank or Affiliate network like Commission Junction.

Email swipes are following up emails that you and your affiliates will be using to follow up your prospects. It is known that most people will not buy from you until you have been in touch with them for about seven times. Go ahead and write them now.

3.12 Create and Set up the Sales letter

A Sales Letter is your secret sales machine and the untiring Salesman.

This is going to be the page that you are going to show to your prospects who sign-up in response to your ads. It gives in details the benefits of your product, why he should buy now, how much he should pay into which account.

Ensure that your sales letter is professionally written. A good blend of text and graphics is recommended.

But if you are scared, you can get a virtual assistant at Fiverr to handle this on your behalf.

3.13 Set up Everything and Get Ready For Sales

By now you must have set-up a self-hosted website for this product. There are FREE and reliable software as well as paid once for this depending on your budget.

Just upload everything - the email swipes, sales letter, all the graphics and relevant files onto the website.

Remember to test-run everything by yourself, as well as asking your friends or mentors to also help you test-run, before you begin to advertise your business to the public.

3.14 The Profits are in the Links

I want to end this chapter by highlighting the fact that we are living in the LINK ECONOMY . In other words, the profits of this business flows through the links.

This means check all your links to ensure that they all work fine. Use associate link where appropriate, confirm your right to use free products sourced online to avoid legal issues; and most of all be sure the download link of your own product is working as intended.

That's the deal.

4.0 CONCLUSION

I just notice that I have gone so far, many pages, many sections and sub sections.

This is because when you have your own product that is where the Internet Riches that you have been hearing of, actually comes from.

5.0 SUMMARY

I covered step by step details on how to create your own profitable product for the marketplace. But there are still other details that I have left out for the next chapter.

6.0 ASSIGNMENT

Go over this chapter again and again to get a good respect of the process as I will be dealing with another aspect of this fast-tract riches in the next chapter.

Cycling in the City - The Pros and Cons

With changing global circumstances such as increasing fuel costs, traffic and high fees for parking, there has been a change in how people get around, whether to work or appointments or even to grocery stores. One of the means of transport that has gained support is cycling. In many major cities and surrounding areas the push for cycling lanes and laws to protect bikers has grown in popularity and more and more people have taken to the streets with two wheels instead of four. There are both pros and cons which all cyclists and drivers should consider.

Pros: Cycling is one of the best means of transit. Not only is it better for the environment, healthier for the rider and less costly than driving. Most buses are outfitted with bike racks and other modes of transport such as subways generally allow a few bikes per car for those people commuting from long distances. Cyclists are also seeing cities changing to accommodate their needs. Bike lanes and streets which are bike friendly are beginning to be a part of the city. As much as biking instead of driving is good for the environment it is even better for your health as it is recommended to get 20-30 minutes of exercise per day. One of the largest benefits of cycling is the lower costs associated with it. Commuting to work saves money as you are not stuck in traffic burning fuel and also not paying high rates for parking.

Cons: In West Coast cities and those with milder temperatures, cycling is a year-round activity enjoyed by many, especially the hardy who bike in the winter months. Biking in the city can be a dangerous activity. Inadequate laws can be problematic to cyclists. Currently, other than owning a bike little else is required by law to out cyclists. Most states and provinces do not require helmets, reflective clothing and the knowledge of signals. Cars and other vehicles also do not require knowledge of bike signals either which can be confusing and dangerous for cyclists. Many people who ride bikes are very courteous and respect the rules of the road, especially in a city setting which can be very dangerous at rush hour. There are occasional cyclists who disrespect the rules by taking non-cycling routes which can be deadly as narrow roads, dark conditions and lack of safety equipment can lead to accidents.

Cycling is a great activity. It is healthy, environmentally friendly, cost efficient and a great way to travel. As long as cyclists follow the rules of the road and are properly outfit in safety equipment such as reflective gear, both clothing and on the bike, and a helmet, cycling is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and make a difference in the world.

How to Incorporate Recycled Materials Into Your Garden, Saving You Money

PALLETS

Pallets are probably the best resource I came across. They are free and provide endless possibilities. I used them to build my fence around my garden, as well as the planter boxes, benches, and decorative touches. Remember, you can break them down and use the individual pieces to make almost anything, so do not think you have to keep them in their original form.

When looking through the piles of pallets, keep an eye out for ones that may contain additives or chemicals that they use to treat the wood, these will be clearly marked. Use common sense when choosing them, the color, texture and even smell are all indicators of treated wood. You can ask someone for help if your still unsure, do a little research beforehand, it will make this part much easier. If you're going to disassemble the pallets and use the individual pieces of wood, try to do so without damaging the wood to badly. Pallets are held together with spiral nails which hold very well.

A few tips on dismantling outlets: -use a flat bar and pry the wood up gently to raise the nail head up, then knock the wood back down. The nail should be protruding out of the wood now and should easily pull out. -If you have a sawzall handy, you can simply cut the nails off. Then use a punch or nails set to pop the remaining nail and nail head out.

ROCKS

Another one of my favorites is rocks I find around my yard. These are also free and provide multiple uses like pallets. I stacked mine to make attractive planters that separated the different types of plants I planted. I use them for all of my herbs, this was a great way to easily identify my herbs and organize my garden. I also created a dry creek bed to add some style and appeal. Mortar can be used to create beautiful walls, borders, and pathways. That may require some masonry "know how" but is very simple to do if you do your homework.

BROKEN CONCRETE

I love broken concrete .... Most people see an expensive dump run when they look at chunks of concrete, I see about a million uses. I have used pieces to make stepping stones, faux rocks, a pond, artwork, the list goes on and on. You can find pieces in several places, construction sites, lumber yards, and even Craigslist are just a few examples where I have found mine. People are more than willing to let me haul it away.

You can make steppingstones very easily using pieces of broken concrete. Start by finding a good size piece of concrete, that is fairly flat in shape. Apply a coat of mortar over it to smooth the surface out a bit. Next, take a large paintbrush, or a mason's brush and gently pat the surface to create a textured surface. Cover the rock with a piece of plastic and allow it to cure overnight. When cured, add paint, or stain to create a contrast of colors. Imagine a real rock and it various colors and textures. Last, apply a sealer and allow adequate drying time.

RESOURCES

There are many places you can find free materials for all of your projects. Search around and ask others for ideas. Browse Craigslist, your local building supply stores, warehouses, even a job site, ask the person in charge if you can have the unwanted materials. Post a classified ad stating what you are looking for or where you might be able to find it. Use your imagination and think outside the box

Different Types of Entertainment

Before we look into different types of entertainment, first let's define what entertainment is. Entertainment is any kind of activity that provides amusement for people in a passive way, other entertaining activities that involve participating are considered recreation or hobbies.

There are many types of entertainment for particular tastes, for example we have cinema, theater, sports, games, social dance, concert, comedy shows, animations, impressionists, clowns and the list goes on and on.

These form of entertainment can not be divided into groups according to the age and interest of the people being entertained. For instance we have child, adult, live action, public and corporate entertainment. In this article we'll give a brief explanation to some of these forms.

Child Entertainment

Kids need to be entertained and some times the entertainer or the entertainment agency needs to find a balance between mental and physical activities. Clowns, puppets, pantomimes and cartoons tend to appeal to children, although adult might find it enjoyable too.

Adult Entertainment

Adult Entertainment many times is related to the sex industry, but this form of entertainment can not be related only with the sex industry and its branches. Adult Entertainment involves things like music concerts, live sports, opera and a hand full of other activities that kids might not find so appealing.

Live Entertainment

This form of entertainment is broadened to all ages as there are a variety of activities that can labeled as live entertainment. For instance music concerts, live TV shows, live sports, theaters and any other activity that you aimed to amuse people.

Public Entertainment

Nowadays probably one of the forms of entertainment that have grown the most, thanks to the economic downturn. When you walk around any major city around Europe you will notice a wide range of public entertainers working for any amount of money the public decides to give them. There are public entertainers of all sorts from mimes to Peruvian Flute bands all working with the uncertainty of how much money they will make, that is why they tend to be more common in major cities where there are more tourists.

Corporate Entertainment

Aimed for corporate events, private parties, award ceremonies, product launches and it is better organized by a professional entertainment agency as most of time these events involve hundreds maybe thousands of people and no one better than the professionals to take care of these form of entertainment .

With these we cover the major forms of entertainment n the following article I'll explain in depth each one of them with more details and examples.

Computer Software and Hardware Basic Knowledge

Computer software is what allows people to do what they need to accomplish in their everyday activities. A more complex definition of a computer software is; Software is a program that enables a computer to perform a specific task, as opposed to the physical components of the system. The physical components of the system were what I have talked about in the last post, the actual hardware that a person can physically touch.

The most common software that people know of is the operating system. Operating system is a system software that allows other software of your choosing to be ran properly. The operating system is the middle man to interacting between the hardware and the other software. The software that you want to install should be loaded onto a hard drive, or memory RAM. After the software is loaded on either of these two data platforms, the computer can execute the software.

People have many different software that allows them to do many different tasks. For example, the Microsoft Word program allows you to type up papers, and create templates. It's a type of software that you should have, because it allows you to complete more complex tasks in one spot, instead of going to different many places. This is what people back in the day have done, and it is fun seeing how software keeps on transforming tech world today. Software allows us to create an easier way to complete things, and it can be found in many of the technologies today, and not just the computers.

Computers are not just hardware equipment, but it's something that I will be discussing today. There are many different types of computer hardware, and all together, the hardware you use makes up your complete working system. Some of the more common hardware that people are aware of are CD-ROM drive, which allows for a computer to read specific information located on a CD, and the FLOPPY disk drive, which is a much older hardware, allows people to sincerely do the same exact thing as CD, but in a less sufficient way. These two are more known to people because these two hardware pieces that people interact with the most.

Some of other big hardware items are, Hard Drives, Memory (RAM), Motherboard, Power Supply, and Central Processing Unit (CPU). Hard drive is a non-volatile memory device that allows you to save information regardless of whether the power is on or off. You can permanently save information on a hard drive, and then recover it whenever you want. The memory, also called RAM, also is there to store information both permanently and temporarily. RAM interact with majority of the operating system software which I will later talk about. The motherboard connects everything together, and allows for all the hardware to communicate sort of speak. Motherboard is the foundation of the computer and is a vital piece of making the computer work. It takes power from the Power Supply and powers the CPU, and other components such as RAM.

The computer consists of more than these things, but these are some of the major ones that I felt that you should know. Next time I will be talking about computer software.

5 Credit Score Myths

The calculations used by Fair Isaac & Co. (FICO) are designed to turn your credit worthiness into a number. Credit scores range from 300 to 850. If you are considered credit worthy, your credit score will be high. If you are considered high risk, your credit score will be low.

Generally speaking, a credit score of 650 - 720 is good, a credit score above 720 is excellent, and any score below 620 is considered high risk.

According to Experian's National Score Index, the national average credit score is 693.

Below are five common myths regarding credit scores.

Myth 1: Higher income helps my credit

False

There are some who believe the higher your income, the higher your credit score. However, your income is not used to calculate your credit score. Banks and other lenders will look at your debt to income ratio to decide whether or not they want to lend you money, but high income does not equal a good credit score.

Myth 2: Closing old accounts will help your credit.

False

As Craig Watts, an executive at Fair Isaac & Co. states, "Closing accounts can never help your score, and often it can hurt."

If you have old accounts you do not use, canceling those accounts will not improve your credit score. In fact the older accounts give you a longer credit history. Longer, more substantiated credit histories will usually give you a stronger credit score than shorter credit history. This of course depends on whether you have a good repayment history or a poor repayment history. Shorter good payment histories will be better than longer poor payment histories.

If you really feel you need to close accounts, you would be better to close newer accounts.

3: Having open accounts with lots of available credit will hurt your credit score

False

According to Maxine Sweet, Vice President of Public Education for Experian: "The total of the balances you carry is the most important. High balances as compared to the available limits is a strong sign of credit risk. situation. "

Keep in mind, even though open and available credit will not hurt your credit score, high credit availability may be viewed negatively by lenders. Their concern will be your ability to accumulate debt quickly, making it more difficult for you to make your payments on time.

Myth 4:

Having your credit checked many times while shopping for a car or while contemplating another major purchase will hurt your credit score.

False

Credit scoring companies realize that intelligent shoppers will apply to various lending institutions to find the best loan possible. Since this is the case, multiple credit checks in a short period of time, usually 14 days, will not negatively affect your credit score.

Myth 5:

If you choose to pay cash for everything until you are ready to purchase a home, you will not have a credit history, and no one will give approve you for a home loan.

False

Fair Isaac and other credit reporting bureaus like PayRentBuildCredit, have created new methods to calculate credit worthiness for cash paying customers. These companies will offer credit scores based on payments to utility companies, bank deposit histories, renter payment histories, purchase payment plans and others.

Another example is ChexSystems. ChexSystems is a reporting company that uses collected banking data to calculate credit worthiness.

These credit reporting agencies can be used by mortgage lenders to check your credit worthiness.

Fat Loss Secret Revealed - How to Lose 40lbs in 30 Days

Yes, you can lose 40lbs and keep it off. It could be 30lbs or 10lbs but the bottom line is it is possible to lose weight in a much shorter time span you think possible and keep it off. But firstly, you have to understand the reasons why most people gain weight.

THE REASONS WHY WE GAIN EXCESS WEIGHT AND FAT

The conventional wisdom is that excess weight gain is caused by eating too much, eating too much of the wrong foods, or a lack of exercise.

These are unduly contributory factors, but the primary reason for weight gain can be traced to the food and diet industries of the so called western civilization.

Let us think about this for a minute: The last 25 years or so has seen an upsurge in the number of people who undertake some form of exercise. This has coincided with what we have been told are great advances in nutritional science. In short, we are exercising more and eating better. So why are we getting fatter?

Obesity levels have been rising steadily in the western world over the last 25 yrs and the latest studies show that approximately 40% of Americans can be classed as obese. As other countries have taken to emulate the western ideal and increased their consumption of western foods, they have experienced a steady increase in levels of obesity and a greater incidence of diseases like diabetes and heart problems.

So what is the problem with the food most of us eat? The food we are told is healthy and nutritious. This is palpably untrue. The mass produced food that forms the basis of the western diet is not healthy or nutritious. It is heavily laden with chemicals, preservatives, colourings and flavor enhancers that were never meant for human ingestion.

Grains, meats and diary products are laden with pesticides, hormones and antibiotics The next time you go grocery shopping, take a look at the ingredients listed on the bright packaging of a food item you buy regularly. I can see your brow furrow in consternation as you try to recognize or pronounce most of them. Most of these foods are also heavily dosed with sugar. But the manufacturers cleverly disguise the sugar under such names as dextrose or fructose as most people are aware of the harm excess sugar does.

Artificial sweeteners are often used in place of sugar, and most of these like aspartame, have been shown by some studies to be poisonous to the body. The bottom line is that the western diet is laden with toxins. Because these toxins are being ingested regularly, the body's immune system and elimination organs like the liver and kidneys are overloaded and unable to deal with or expel them.

The body reacts to this by creating a defense barrier of excess fat stores that typically collect around the chest area, belly, waist, hips, thighs, and butt. Toxin overload can also be blamed for the greater incidence of food intolerance and allergies. Fluid / water retention is a common result of food intolerance. Most people tend to be unaware they have an intolerance to certain foods and can not figure out because they retain so much fluid and keep gaining weight.

HOW TO LOSE 40 LBS AND KEEP IT OFF

Firstly, lets have a brief look at what you must not do:

1. Embark on a strict starvation diet that you possibly could not sustain

2. Embark on a meal replacement plan or use packaged so called low sugar, low fat food products. As I mentioned before, the sugar in some of these is disguised and those that are indeed low in sugar or sugar free contain artificial sweeteners that actually do more harm and contribute more to excess weight than sugar. They also contain various chemicals, etc, which of course, you want to stay well clear of.

3. Embark on an exercise program that would shame an Olympic athlete. Exercise has its place in helping you control your weight, but it is not the answer to your problem.

WHAT YOU MUST DO

1. Address the root of the problem by getting rid of the toxins and junk that have accumulated in your body. The junk includes harmful plaque and parasites that have accumulated in your colon and digestive tract and preventing efficient absorption of nutrients.

2. Change your eating habits. Ditch packaged foods and fast foods as much as you can. The mainstay of your diet should be fresh foods. It is always healthy to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. And of course drink plenty of water, which incidentally, would help flush out the toxins your body is releasing. It is important to change your diet as you really want to lose 40lbs and keep it off. Maybe you want to lose only 20lbs or 14lbs, but it is all the same. You want it gone for good. Your body will start to function more efficiently as the various toxins and parasites are expelled. Any excess fluid disappears. Your immune system becomes stronger. Your overall health improvements and as your body begins to function optimally, you will be on your way to attaining your natural, healthy weight.

3. Exercise always helps. It could be swimming, jogging, brisk walking, going to the gym or any exercise you have fun doing. Exercise would help strengthen your heart and lungs. Improve your flexibility, balance and coordination. It would strengthen your musculature and increase your resting metabolic rate, since enhancing your body's ability to burn calories and fat more efficiently. You absolutely do not have to exercise. But it would give you an edge and quicken your progress.
