The Shoe That Thinks

I suffer from heel spurs. These are calcium deposits on the bones that make running painful. I created them years ago, when I was an obese jogger. All that pounding on the pavement with all that weight caused the bones to make heel spurs.

Mine are large and painful. I went to the doctor and she said they were the biggest she had ever seen. I had to stop jogging. I had to wear shoe inserts. It was no fun.

Because I have the core belief that anything can be healed, I kept searching for a cure. One day I saw an ad for a new running shoe that seemed promising.

The shoe has a computer chip in it that analyzes where you are running and adjusts the shoe's heel to give you the best cushion. I know this sounds sci-fi but I was desperate. Plus I love cool gadgets. So I ordered a pair.

They arrived in a large box, protected by foam inserts. There were batteries and an instruction manual. I felt like I had ordered an odd new laptop.

But the shoes.

Ah, the shoes.

They looked like they were designed for Flash, the famous DC Comics character who could zip around the world in seconds.

I put the shoes on, turned them on, and grabbed the dog. We went for a run. I was amazed at how easy and smooth it was to jog again. I was running faster than the dog. I felt like I could run forever.

I felt like The Flash.

But the real deciding factor would be the next day. If there was going to be any pain, I'd feel it in the morning. In the past, if I did too much on my feet, I'd wake up with an aching heel. And I'd limp all day.

Well, the next morning came and there wasn't any pain at all. None.

In fact, I just moments ago went for yet another run in my new shoes. I got the idea to write this article for you while jogging down the road.

Now notice something:

Are you curious about the shoes I bought?

Has this story made you interested in them?

Do you want to know the name of them?

When I was in a meeting the other day, I told everyone about the magic shoes that think. My excitement was contagious. I saw people writing down the name of the shoes. Even though I wasn't "selling" the shoes, they wanted to know more and would probably even go buy the shoes.

Are you feeling the same way?

If you've ever suffered from heel or knee pain, you are probably reading this and yelling "TELL ME THE NAME OF THE SHOES, JOE!"

My point is this: A good story, told with passion, that promises a benefit, will always be hypnotic. It will always compel people to want to know more.

In short, hypnotic marketing is nothing more than sharing your sincere passion with the people who most want to hear it.

I'll say that again:

In short, hypnotic marketing is nothing more than sharing your sincere passion with the people who most want to hear it.

The Man Who Offered to Beat Me Up

Today I received a long letter from a man who created a new self-defense system. He claims he can defeat anyone in under 3 minutes.

He wants me to promote him and his method. He went on to say he'd be happy to meet with me to prove his skills.

What did he have in mind?

He wants to beat me up.

I'm serious.

"If I can defeat you within 3 minutes," he said in his letter, "then you promise to promote me and my products. Deal?"

He went on to give me the contact information for his agent so I could set up the match.

It might have made an interesting webcast. I can just see the headline:

"51-year-old formerly obese Internet Marketing Expert meets 30-year-old Superman-fit Martial Arts Expert in Quick-Kill Match. Register now."

Gee, I wonder who would win?

I'd lose even if I went armed.

What would you have done?

How would you have responded to his offer?

Unless you're a fighter looking for a match, you'd probably toss this offer in the trash.

I often wonder what people are thinking. Does this guy really think I'll fight him? And then, if I lose, I'll gladly smile and start marketing him?

I don't claim to be a fighter and am not seeking bouts. I'm also not seeking new clients. Especially clients who want to break my nose to prove they are better than me.

When you reach out to anyone, keep in mind that no one likes to be told they are inferior. It is not a good way to win friends and influence people. In fact, it's not a good way to do much of anything.

I think the lesson here is that we all have egos. The better way to approach people is to put your ego under theirs.

In other words, be willing to lower your status. Don't flaunt your stuff. Instead, show your weakness and ask for help.

This nervy fighter might have done better by offering to teach me his new method, not offering to embarrass me with it.

Contrast his behavior to that of a man in Florence, Italy. This gent heard I loved leather jackets. He went and bought two of them and sent them to me, gratis.

I'll never forget *him*.

This works in your marketing, too.

Rather than boast that you or your business is the greatest, focus on how you or your business can make your customer or client the greatest.

Or surprise your customers by giving them gifts (much like this article is a gift). People love to be surprised on the positive side.

See the difference?

This redirection of focus can trigger a true transformation in your sales.

Take heed.

See you in the ring.

Steroids and Article Submission

This is the fastest way to improve your ranking. It is 100% white hat and there is no better way. I like to think of it as the last thing you need to learn for SEO. Once you can submit articles, everything else falls into place. Think about it, you are contributing content to the internet, and there are a ton of webmasters out there who need your content and will publish your article, and give you a link.

You may ask what are some of the benefits of article submission, here are some I know:

You get a great ranking on Google in just a short time. I was on page one in less than a month for a competitive term.

You get to have fun by sharing yourself with the world through your articles. As you share your opinion, you develop followers that read your content.

You create the content for thousands of websites. You should feel great that you are contributing not only something webmasters can use, but so can the internet users as a whole.

Article submission can be automatic. If you do it right you can invest so that your articles make it all over the internet automatically while you just continue to write.

That last step is what I do. I write several articles every day and put them on auto pilot for submission. I dont use expensive software, or things that are not going to help me. I just use a web application that will distribute my article to related directories while I write more articles. There are many software options out there, but most of them are just a programmed web browser that fills in forms for you. That is not what you need. You need something that you can submit your article to once and it will do the submissions automatically.

The best program on the internet for distributing your articles is Article Submission Express. They charge a monthly fee, but you get unlimited submissions. The best part is it takes each article you write, makes them unique, and sends them to thousands of hungry webmasters who want your content. The only thing you do is write articles, or pay someone to write them for you. There is no directory registrations or confirmation emails. This website does it all for you.

All you have to do is have fun writing content, the software will distribute it for you. The website of Article Submission Express is in itself a testimonial to success. The owners there have only used article submission and they are on page one of google for many terms. The best part is the website was only started around Thanks Giving.

You can always get your money back if you don't like what you get. There is nothing to lose by going to see the website.

Detecting Fraud On The Web When Getting Texas Health Insurance

You would think you would not have to be concerned about things such as insurance fraud. Unfortunately, you do. In the age that we live in, there is always someone that is out to make a quick buck. Of course, that includes trying to get over on people when it comes to getting health insurance in Texas. The sad part about it is, with the internet, it is so easy to get duped. The internet is one of the biggest tools that scammers and fraudsters use to get what they want illegally.

It's easy for them to put up a website and set up shop online. Anyone can say that they have a valid heath insurance company online. When looking for health insurance in Texas, this should be taken very seriously. There are too many people that get duped because they believe everything they see and hear.

So how can you recognize a fraud when it comes to buying health insurance in Texas over the internet? There are several health insurance related scams being peddled on the internet these days. One of these is the age old "pyramid" scheme. This deal claims to be health insurance, but then advertises that you can make money by getting more people to sign up under you. While the basic idea may sound like a bona fide network marketing business, beware the telltale signs of the "pyramid scheme". In a scam like this, if you read the fine print you will realize that you aren't actually getting anything for your money, other than a "membership" and a chance to make money. It isn't real health insurance. They may tell you that you will qualify for "discounts" on medical services, but you will be hard pressed to ever recoup any of your investment with these so-called discounts.

This will create more cash in the pot. In addition to that, others are asked to sell memberships to others and pitch the same script. With the so-called "health insurance", members are also told that they can take money against the value of their insurance policies. Unfortunately, there is nothing to show for it. Health insurance in Texas is a big business and there are people that will try to profit from it any way they can.

Another scam can be harder to detect because it appears more legitimate than the pyramid scheme is the plan that offers you health insurance in Texas at a great rate but denies all claims or does not really provide insurance. You are paying for a service this "company" cannot provide and do not really have any recourse. Beware of any company offering ridiculously low rates as they are often scams.

Some of these internet health insurance scams in Texas even target the health insurance agents and companies themselves. It can be difficult to know who to trust anymore when it comes to buying health insurance in Texas, especially online, but with a little careful investigation you should be able to tell the real deal from the scams out there.

Another one of the major frauds regarding health insurance in Texas is when unlicensed agents attempt to sell you health insurance. The laws in Texas require both the insurance company and the agent to be licensed in order to sell you health insurance. This protects the consumer and makes sure that an agent knows what they are doing before they sell a product like health insurance in Texas that has a huge impact on a person's life and well-being. If you find suspicious activity that may be fraudulent, you should report it to the better business bureau and any other local or state agency that deals with fraud.

Free Classified Ads: Using them to Your Benefit

So you have a few things to sell, and you are thinking about putting them in your local paper. There are free classified ad websites that you can place your items on and sell them. You can even reach a larger amount of people. If you have something you want to give away just to get out of your home or yard, place a free ad.

Free Classifieds help everybody. This is a service that is long overdue. It is true; you can advertise some things for free in your local paper, but not much. You get better exposure if you advertise on the Internet. Think about your ad reaching a state-wide or nation-wide audience. If you are selling things this is great for you. If you are a work at home entrepreneur, then you can offer your services to a larger audience for free.

No matter what you are advertising you will reach a larger audience. It will be state-wide or nation-wide. This means a lot more potential customers or buyers for you. If you are a website designer, graphic artist, writer, photographer, or data entry specialist, you can advertise your services for free and work for yourself. You can also find employers who are looking to hire someone with your capabilities.

If you work from home and are a web designer, photographer, or graphic artists, this is a good place for you to offer your services. There are many other services that you can offer to do from home. Businesses often outsource these kinds of jobs to save money by hiring a full time contractor.

Better deals are often found online for items that you may be looking for. It is cheaper for the seller to sell on these websites than they would pay using E-bay. They also reach as wide an audience as E-bay. This is great for both buyers and sellers. Sellers be sure to make it clear that shipping is extra, and also include a good description of what you are selling, and a contact e-mail address. You should make a separate e-mail account just for this.

Are you selling some puppies or kittens? This is a great way to find them a good home. If you are looking for a pet in your area or close by, looking in the free Internet classifieds will let you find more animals available to you at varying prices or even for free. Be sure that the method of payment is agreed upon by both parties.

When placing an ad be specific about what you are offering. If it is an item, be detailed about it. If you are offering a service give your years of experience and qualifications, and be prepared to show references and past work, or a portfolio. If you are offering a employment be specific about the experience and qualifications required for the job, and give a salary range and post if there is a benefit package or not. Specific ads will get more interest.

If you are posting a job, make sure to include a description of the job, the amount of experience required and if there are any degrees or certificates that one needs to qualify for the position. You should also mention if there are benefits included when hired, and also a wage range. Then sit back and let the website work for you.
