Internet Marketing Articles - A Short Guide to Writing a Successful Article Summary

You have written all your Internet Marketing Articles, you have drawn together all the facts and you've assembled all your arguments. Now there is only one task remaining, the final task standing between you and the publication of your articles - Writing the Summary. Have you ever surprised, what is the best technique I can employ to write an article summary? This commentary will guide you through some of the basics for writing a successful report summary to compliment your internet marketing articles.

1. Identifying what you want to summarize: Before you do anything, try to be clear about exactly what you mean by summary. If you read the dictionary definition, which says a summary is: "a shortened form of a report, summing up the main points ... without unnecessary formalities or delay." it gives your reading audience a 'short and snappy' re-cap, in other words, the summary does precisely what it says on the tin.

2. The point of a summary. You need to have an understanding as to why you need to write an effective summary, you must appreciate and comprehend how your readers will have.

For the most part, readers presented with a long, complex report, will not read it from start to finish. What they would prefer to do is, take a shortcut, minimize their effort, cut to the chase, get a flavor for the main point of the report. If they see the word "Summary" in the Table of Contents, ninety nine out of a hundred people will instinctively look there first. Far more importantly and especially, if their time is short, that may be the only place they decide look.

The sole purpose in creating a summary is to provide what basically amounts to a 'cheat-sheet' for your readers - a place to go to quickly where they get the gist of the report gain an understanding of the content and are presented with all the main points recapped in a careful and concise manner.

3. Be methodical. It you grasp this last point it makes the task of writing a summary so much easier. When you create your summary, you need to methodically review your report, section by section, and draw out the key points. Remember, you will probably need at least a couple of iterations before you have reduced everything down succinctly enough.

This methodical approach also offers you a great opportunity to proofread all of the section and perform any last minute modifications, editing and alterations.

4. What you should not include. Obviously, the summary is not the place to re-open a debate, trying to scoring one last point or over-sell your recommendation; and, it is without doubt, not the place to be bringing in any new material.

5. The back-to-front method. Writing the summary could, if you wished, be your starting point, not something you leave until last. By summarizing, you are effectively creating your report outline your key points are presented up front in a well thought-out, structured way.

Employing this method, all you have to do is include detail to the outline you've just created. On the other hand, it's quite probable, that as you fill in the detail you might make changes to the structure or sequence of the body of your report. If so, make sure part of your editing routine takes in to account of going back and making those changes in the summary, because it is so easy to overlook this element.

Two points to conclude. First, if done attentively and systematically, writing a summary is a comparatively simple task. Second, always adhere to the golden rule of summary creation: stay focused on developing a short and snappy re-cap of what you have written in the body of your report.

When Words Are not Enough - Communication Is More Than Words Can Say

Once upon a time, when record companies rule the music industry, a major jazz label discovered a promising young Venezuelan pianist. They flew her to New York to record with some top players. She was an amazing pianist, a prodigy. It was a coup for the record company, and the opportunity of a lifetime for her.

When the musicians came together for their first session, it sounded amazing from the first note. But in the ears of the saxophone player something was not quite right, not quite all it could be. After a few minutes of playing, he placed his horn on the piano and whispered, "Lady, jazz does not go like that, it goes like this," and he shuffled, and loped, and half danced a few steps across the studio floor.

Everyone in the room was smiling now. The band started playing again. The piano player, and everyone else, had understood something that could not have been said in words. You could hear the difference immediately. The group went on to make several successful records together.

How is it that some of the best lessons occur outside of the conventional channels of communication? When communication is timed to fit the moment, it becomes creative expression in itself.

Loping across a room was the best way to say it, in that moment. Words are accurate. But unless you have someone's full attention, and without you can speak in a way that the person understands, words can miss the mark. Something seen, felt, or acted upon can go straight into our neural-system the way words may not.

Evolutionary leaders, good teachers and communicators instinctively use multiple levels of communication to get their message across.

I would never forgive the Latin for 'garden' after my teacher woke me from my schoolgirl daydream, sent me out to the vegetable garden behind the classroom, where I shouted the word 'hortus' three times, as loud as I could.

Recently, I was teaching a group of business-coaches about rapport, that elusive ingredient that makes for the best communication and connection. I explained how good rapport is like walking in-step beside someone, not too fast, not too slow. By demonstrating what that might actually look like, walking side by side with one of the participants, the lesson went straight into the body in a way that everyone in the room could feel. As several people said at the end of the day, "I understand rapport now in a whole new way."

The psychiatrist master of communication, Milton Erickson, is still celebrated as a transformational healer who transcended categorization. His work remains an inspiration to some of the most effective, communicators, healers and evolutionary leaders to this day. He sometimes asked new clients to climb to the top of Squaw Peak, just outside of Phoenix, before he would agree to meet with them in person. As they climbed the steep trail in the Arizona heat, some of them must have wondered why he had given them such an arduous task. Others, surprised to confront some of their own anxieties in this simple assignment, might have planned some imagined meaning, "Damn Dr. Erickson, how could he have known ..??"

We make up stories. Stories live in our bodies, and play out in our lives. Oftentimes we can bring them to the surface with dance, ritual, hypnosis or trance, more easily than we can with words. There are indigenous cultures who enact their dreams each day to bring their unconscious stories out into the world, in order to learn the wisdom and truth in them.

In our own culture we lack a consistent way to ignore and integrate the stories that drive our lives, both individually and collectively. My partner and I have adopted, among many other things, the Ericksonian and shamanic practices of Psycho-magic. For example, we sometimes task our clients with assignments that may seem illogical, counter-intuitive, absurd, or confusing. What we're doing is challenging the 'meaning-making' process itself. We're challenging how stories are made up and remade.

A lot of teachers and coaches tell you to find your own way, to be exclusively yourself. Others suggest you follow their example. They say, "Do it like me. There's no need to reinvent the wheel." Except, you can not do it quite like them, because you are indeed quite yourself, and together, the moment when what they did worked well for them may be long gone.

The question is always - how do we really change? How do we learn to tap into the neurologic process by which meanings and stories are made? How do we connect with the world so that our own evolutionary process relates to everything that's going on around us without overwhelming us? Although we have learned a lot about neuro-science in the past few years, there are still very few applications where it is used fully, holistically, and effectively.

The question remains before us: how can evolutionary leaders co-create the world we have been longing for?

Spiritual Evolution, Personal Development, Professional and Business Development, Social Engagement or Activism, Brain Science, Accelerated Learning .. none of these are enough on their own. Nor is a simple amalgamation of all of them together, by itself, enough.

We call the integration of all these elements Evolutionary Leadership . It's how you can come out of the closet you've been hiding in, to align with your highest values, serve, and contribute in the way only YOU can, in the 21st century and beyond. Now's the time.

Life Lessons From Salsa Dancing

I have started taking lessons in Salsa dancing. Why am I doing it? Well, it looks like fun and some of my young friends are doing it. So I thought why not. I expected to have some fun - what I did not expect was to get lessons on life from Salsa dancing.

Salsa is generally agreed to have its origins in Afro-Cuban dance. Its most common basic movements combine three weight changes (or steps) in a four-beat measure. The beat on which one does not step might contain a tap or kick, or weight transfer may continue with the actual step not occurring until the next beat. After six weight changes in eight beats, normally in forward / backward motion, the basic step cycle is complete. Then there are almost endless variations on the basic movements with improvements that continue to evolve in different parts of the world.

Salsa is a partner dance

Salsa is a partner dance with the man as the leader and the woman as the follower. This leader / follower partnership is an essential part of Salsa dancing: the dance could not happen without adhering to this form of partnership. The leader uses his arms to communicate or signal to the follower either in an "open" or "close" position. The woman responds to and follows the communication of the leader's arms: she does not expect or take over the lead at any time.

I first booked an appointment with a male teacher but the appointment was canceled and I ended up with a woman. I was initially apprehensive about having a woman teacher leading in a "macho" dance but it turned out really well. My teacher is a Harvard-trained architect who happens to love dancing above other professions. She is also the owner of the dance studio. As another successful and professional woman, she appreciates how difficult it is for me to completely relax, let go and follow someone else.

She compares dancing, especially the Salsa, to life. It is like being in a relationship - you have to be attuned to the rhythm and plan of the your partner. To make the relationship work, there are times when it is right for you to "surrender" and just follow your partner. She says that she can tell a lot about the man from the way he dances and treats her, even whether or not he would be a good lover!

Lessons from Salsa dance

In the past I have used the metaphor of dancing to guide myself and mentor others in business. In my view every organization has a rhythm, and to be effective a leader has to feel this rhythm. It would be easier for him to lead or shift the organization if he first "dances" to the rhythm and then changes the music to whatever suits him. It is more likely that people will then follow him in dancing to the new rhythm.

What I learnt from my Salsa teacher takes that metaphor to the next level - to the level of personal relationship. Indeed we have to be aware of and in tune with the rhythm, but that alone is not sufficient. We also have to know how to interact with each of the partners dancing on that rhythm.

Call Recording for Mobiles in Financial Services Companies - Laying Down the Law

Financial companies have long since had to record all phone calls from landlines, but new regulations from the Financial Services Authority (FSA) could see call recording used for mobile phone calls - and then stored for six months.

From March 2009, firms have had to record all telephone conversations and electronic communications relating to client orders and the conclusion of transactions in the equity, bond, and derivatives markets.

By law financial companies have to record email conversations and phone calls from fixed lines however, mobile phone calls were previously exempt from this regulation as the technology simply could not handle it. Now, the technology is well able to record mobile calls. The FSA is currently holding a consultation before deciding to include mobile calls into the rules.

The FSA consulted on the taping rules last year, with them completing a further review of the cost-benefit analysis and discussing with the industry the scope and practicalities of the potential of recording on mobile devices, both corporate liable and personal devices.

It is expected that recording mobile conversations will become mandatory to close a potential loophole in the FSA's current taping framework. The FSA believe that if they were to keep the mobile phone taping exemption, those wishing to circumvent the rules have incentives to move 'relevant conversations' on recorded fixed lines to unrecorded mobile phones.

This undermines the taping regime's effectiveness. Therefore, removing the exemption, it is believed, will contribute to achieving the economic benefits as follows: recorded communication increases the probability of successful enforcement; and this reduces the expected value of exploiting private information and hence reduces insider trading.

This, in principle, leads to increased market confidence and greater price efficiency.

The latest reports on this subject for the FSA found that the overwhelming majority of firms in the financial services sector did not employ mobile recording solutions. In the period since the exemption was created, most firms had done little to prepare for mobile recording, preferring to wait until the FSA requires recording from mobiles before implementing a solution.

However, several authorized firms and suppliers have indicated that the level of interest in mobile call recording is now much greater than ever before in the financial services sector. Several authorized firms have requested detailed pricing and technical proposals from suppliers and have discussed in detail how mobile recording technology may be integrated with their existing communications and recording solutions.

The supply side for mobile call recording has also evolved something. In particular, the largest provider of cellular services to City financial firms and the largest provider of managed trading turrets to the financial sector have both signed deals to distribute the same company's mobile recording solution in the UK. Although neither the cellular operator nor the provider of managed turret services has yet signed a deal within the UK financial services sector, both companies appear confident in the reliability and scalability of the undering technology.

Why is this issue of interest to mobile managers? It is not typically their remit to concern themselves with FSA compliance issues?

It is likely that suppliers will provide workable and scalable solutions to record accurately voice, sms, mms, and email activities against a particular cellular number. The raw call files and billing data from the airtime carriers and recording technology from specialist suppliers will integrate strictly to tag a call made at a certain time, from a certain number, while recording its content.

However it is likely that there will be a requirement to store the data and calls for at least 6 months, possibly more. The storing in itself is not an issue, with the voice files, text transcripts and other data being stored more than likely via a 3rd party data storage solution.

The problem however escalates when you add into the mix the general complexities of managing mobile fleets. In any given 6 month period in any large organization there will be a multitude of changes driven by people leaving the organization, people starting with the organization, numbers being recycles between individuals and projects.

The challenge will be before being not related to the content recorded in a call to a specific time, and a specific number, but having the data on who held that number at that period of time. If the numbers are recycled and reused in the organization, if the caller has since left and a new starter being issued the number, then this must also be logged. There is a requirement for a robust and approved solution for attaching the mobile number to an individual in that same time period.

This is an issue either the call recording providers, nor airtime providers are likely to be able to help with. It is a database management issue and a mobile management issue which organizations will need to address and become comfortable with their solution. It could have solved internally utilizing database tools and internal resources, or could be outsourced to a management company providing mobile management solutions.

This is not a typical wireless expiration management issue, it is not telecom expense management, it comes down to process management, and including the recording solution chosen, the airtime carrier, and this particular process can all work together. Getting any component wrong of the solution wrong may lead to great inefficiency when locating the correct data, inaccuracies in personnel allocation, and worst case a compliance issue with this FSA legislation carrying heavy fines for individual organizations.
