  by Daniel Deane   There are certain things that make a web page easy to navigate and still others that will chase away visitors. Below are some tips indicating elements that should be in place in every web page in your site.   IDENTIFICATION Who are you? Why do you have a web page and why should they return or do business with you? These are questions that should be answered on your title page and perhaps included in some form in every page on your site. A simple way of contacting you should be in place. One example of this is an invitation at the bottom of each page, to email comments to you, with a link that activates the email portion of the browser. CONTENT DESIGN The download period is your most vulnerable time on your web page. Keep your index page simple. Make sure you have text enough in the top of the page to give the visitor something to read while your graphics are loading. Keep graphics to a minimum. Use short paragraphs and a l...

By: Jon Morrow If you saw my father on a normal day, you'd feel sorry for him. His clothes are worn and coated with a mosaic of dirt, paint, and other unidentifiables. His boots are solid blocks of mud. His head is covered with a worn-out baseball cap, usually soaked in sweat. You'd think he was a beggar. But he's not. He's one of the wealthiest and fastest growing landowners in northern Mississippi. Movies and television have created a stereotype of the millionaire, and like most stereotypes, it's completely false. Rich people don't drive fancy cars, live in mansions, or cart around entourages of sexy playthings. They know better. As one of my most successful mentors told me, "Getting rich is not about how much money spend, but about how much money you keep." To illustrate, here are some comments from my investors: A car payment? Why, I can't remember the last time I made one. About a year ago, my father invited all of our investors ...

Have you seen any sellers on eBay which shows a "star" and the word "PowerSeller" by the side of their names? PowerSellers are eBay's top sellers who have sustained a consistent high volume of monthly sales, a high level of total 98% positive feedback or better, and have met a threshold of compliance with all marketplace policies. Sounds hard? Nope, not at all, in fact anyone can do it. Shortly, if you want to qualify for being an eBay seller you need: To be an active member for 90 days. Average a minimum of $1000 in sales per month for three consecutive months. Achieve an overall Feedback rating of 100, of which 98% or more is positive. Have an account in good financial standing. Now we'll learn about the methods used by our fellow eBay PowerSellers. A successful auction has three elements which are: the title, a description and pictures of your selling item.   When listing, always write a clear, attractive and concise titl...

By: Jane Foster Step 1: Identify your market. Take a while to sit and watch for what sells and what doesn't out of the items you're interested in. Any market research data you can collect will be very useful to you later on. You'll probably see the sweet spots quite quickly - those one or two items that always seem to sell for a good price. Step 2: Watch the competition. Before you invest any money, see what the other sellers in your category are up to, and what their strategies are. Pay special attention to any flaws their auctions might have, because this is where you can move in and beat them at their own game. Step 3: Find a product: Get hold of a supplier for whatever it is you want to sell, and see what are the best rates you can get. Don't be afraid to ring round quite a few to get the best deal. If the eBay prices you've seen are higher than the supplier's, then you're set. Step 4: Start small: Don't throw thousands at your idea str...

By: Joel Dresse Finding great items to sell can be difficult for some people. After all, your auction site business depends on great items that you can purchase very inexpensively and sell for a profit. If you are having difficulty finding items online for your auction business, here are some easy tips. One of the best ways to find a great idea is to check out the auction sites. Many people don't realize that great ideas are on practically every page of Ebay. You can easily look at which products are selling, how much they sell for and the average price that they are sold at. Using Ebay is probably the easiest and quickest way to find great products that already have a thriving market. You can also check out auction site forums. Here many people talk about great products that are hot. There are even auction analysis companies that analyze millions of pieces of data to come up with great items for their customers to sell. There are many overseas manufacturers and d...

    One Step Ahead on Ebay! By: Kevin Anthony Selling on Ebay can be a good hobby or a nice profitable business for others. I like to sell on Ebay and other auction sites for both of these reasons. Below I will list some of the things that have helped me out enormously through trial and error. 1. Determine if the product that you are going to auction is a one time sale or if you have a continuous supply of this item. This means that if it is a one time item that you are going to want to get the best price for it. The best way I found to do this is to put a reserve price on the item close to what you need to get out of it. I know that alot of people say that a reserve price will hinder the chances of selling an item, but it won't if you try not to be greedy. If you have a continuous supply of a product, taking a $15-$20 profit is the way to go on something like a $200 Digital camera because you will have many more sales. 2. If you want a steady income on Ebay...

By: Tyson Fenech Naturally there are many aspects to succeeding online but the nature of business hasn't swayed. You must have a professional image and you must provide a great service for your clients. This is what makes a business grow. This is not another article telling you to be sure you have Meta tags, linking and all the other wonderful Search Engine friendly includes. This is a bare bones old school reflection on how companies are losing sight of the bigger picture. Put some heart into it Most entrepreneurs have that essential vivacious approach to starting up a business and the truly successful ones will maintain that level of excitement to help cultivate a healthy and steady growth. A web site can help establish your business as a serious contender or just another hole in the wall. Which one are you? Some businesses place more emphasis on what they're going to have for lunch rather than the image they portray to their clients. Your excitement about your bu...

There is a new deal that people looking for affordable quality web site design service need to be on the lookout for. The main problem of this is the fact that not all of these services provide much in the way of quality. In the old days there was nothing short of amazing things coming out of the web design services that were in operation. Of course these services charged thousands of dollars for their service and not everyone could afford such a large bill. Well the times changed just like they do with everything and finding an affordable quality web site design service is more common place today and one needs to just know where to look. The other matter for discussion is find the actual quality embedded in a sea of poor quality companies that seem to spring from the well of eternal scams. The problem with today's web design services is there is so many to choose from. One might say that a fair amount of competition is a good thing to help control the prices, but in all truth...

(my response to a recent email from a gentleman asking whether he should optimize or market his website)   Please note that optimizing the site so that the search engines will be able to index it is only a minor part of getting more traffic to your web site.   In regards to weather you need optimization or marketing let me start by saying that if you want your website to generate business you will always need marketing.   See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_marketing for a great definition of web marketing. in brief (Internet marketing is the process of growing and promoting an organization using online media. Internet marketing does not simply mean 'building a website' ) SEO considers how search algorithms work and what people search for. SEO efforts may involve a site's coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Other, more noticeable efforts may includ...

So now I have 3 new sites that I’m taking over. The Main goal is to improve search engine marketing and get more visitors to the sites. So I’m going to keep track of everything I do to them to through my blog kind of a sounding board that I can look back on once they are making me lots of moula. LOL   First step I guess is to do the research on where they stand in the search engines now and see how much traffic they are currently getting. From there I’ll move on to researching keywords phrases to use and start gathering low cost and free marketing list.   The sites are travel related so I need to start gathering localized content for popular travel locations as well.   Another step take a look at the code. See how much optimization I need to do.   More updates to come.     Wiredwizard Memphis Web Design    

The mood and emotions of your visitors can be influenced by the colors you select for your website. Colors affect us in numerous ways, both mentally and physically. A strong red color has been shown to raise the blood pressure, while a blue color has a calming effect. Once you understand the basics, you can start learning how to combine colors into a harmonious whole. There are certain colors that look good together, while other colors look so painful you have to click away before they burn your eyes. And while you might recognize these combinations when you see them, there is a theory based on the color wheel as to which colors will look nicest together. Analogous Colors These are the colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel. For example: green, yellow-green, and yellow; or red, red-orange, and orange. Complementary Colors Complementary colors are those colors that are opposite one another on the color wheel. By using colors that are opposite one another, you cr...

Web design is a new profession if you compare it to other forms of design. No matter if we talk about print media design or furniture design it seems that all the different design disciplines have there own little aspects which are unique to that each. Web design for instance has to consider web safe colors and fonts, screen resolutions, browsers, and etc., however there are still some basic design principles that need to be followed. THE PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN BALANCE A large shape close to the center can be balanced by a small shape close to the edge. A large light toned shape will be balanced by a small dark toned shape (the darker the shape the heavier it appears to be) GRADATION Gradation of size and direction produce linear perspective. Gradation of of colour from warm to cool and tone from dark to light produce aerial perspective. Gradation can add interest and movement to a shape. A gradation from dark to light will cause the eye to move along a shape. R...

How to begin a career in graphic design Well first off test you skills or even check out getting a certification. Alot of community colleges offer this type of certification. The big advantage to certification over getting a degree is Money and Time. The fewer credits you take to complete an educational program, the less money you will spend, overall. By focusing just on design skills, certificate programs allow adult students to forgo unrelated academic material. Sell your design skills Once you've learned skills directly applicable to graphics fields, you need to sell yourself, and your talents, to prospective employers. You will probably have a collection of projects you completed during your certification program that demonstrate some of your skills. Carefully scrutinize your portfolio before you begin applying for jobs. Make sure that each piece you decide to include is a piece of your very best work, and that it showcases your talents to the fullest. Keep practicing. You migh...
