The Jeffrey And Tracey Info Emporium

Wall Street Institutions pay billions of dollars annually to convince the investing public that their Economists, Investment Managers, and Analysts can predict future price movements in specific company shares and trends in the overall Stock Market. Such predictions (often presented as “Wethinkisms” or Model Asset Allocation adjustments) make self-deprecating investors everywhere scurry about transacting with each new revelation. “Thou must heed the oracle of Wall Street”… not to be confused with the one from Omaha, who really does know something about investing. “These guys know this stuff so much better than we do” is the rationale of the fools in the street, and on the hill (sic).

What if its true, and these pinstriped super humans can actually predict the future, why do you transact the way you do in response? Why would financial professionals of every shape and size holler “sell” when prices move lower, and vice versa? Would this pitch work at the mall? Of course not. Now lets bring this phenomenon into focus. Hmmm, not one of these Institutional Gurus ever doubts the basic truth that both the Market Indices and individual issue prices will continue to move up and down, forever. So, if we were to slowly construct a diversified portfolio of value stocks (My short definition: profitable, dividend paying, NYSE companies.) as they fall in price, we would be able to take profits during the following upward cycle… also forever. Hmmm.

Let’s pretend for a (foolish) moment that broad market movements are somewhat predictable. Regardless of the direction, professional advice will always fuel the perceived operative emotion: greed or fear! Wall Street’s retail representatives (stock brokers), and the new, internet expert, self-directors, rarely go against the grain of the consensus opinion…particularly the one projected to them by their immediate superior/spouse. You cannot obtain independent thinking from a Wall Street salesperson; it just doesn’t fill up the Beemer. Sorry, but you have to be able to think for yourself to stay in balance while pedaling on the Market Cycle. Here’s some global advice that you will not hear on the street of dreams (and don’t get all huffy until you understand what to buy or to sell as well as when to do so): Sell into rallies. Buy on bad news. Buy slowly; sell quickly. Always sell too soon. Always buy too soon, incrementally. Always have a plan. A plan without buying guidelines and selling targets is not a plan.

Predicting the performance of individual issues is a totally different ball game that requires an even more powerful crystal ball and a whole array of semi-legal and completely illegal relationships that are mostly self serving and useless to average investors. But, again, let’s pretend that a mega million-dollar salary and industry recognition as a superstar creates Master of the Universe quality prediction capabilities…I’m sorry. I just can’t even pretend that it’s true! The evidence against it is just too great, and the dangers of relying on analytical opinions too real. No one can predict individual issue price movements legally, consistently, or in a timely manner. Face up to this: the risk of loss is real; it can be minimized but not eliminated.

Investing in individual issues has to be done differently, with rules, guidelines, and judgment. It has to be done unemotionally and rationally, monitored regularly, and analyzed with performance evaluation tools that are portfolio specific and without calendar time restrictions. This is not nearly as difficult as it sounds, and if you are a “shopper” looking for bargains elsewhere in your life, you should have no trouble understanding how it works. Not a rocket scientist? Good, and if you are at all familiar with the retailing business, even better. You don’t need any special education evidentiary acronyms or software programs for stock market success… just common sense and emotion control.

Wall Street sells products, and spins reality in whatever manner they feel will produce the best results for those products. The direction of the market doesn’t matter to them and it wouldn’t to you either if you had a properly constructed portfolio. If you learn how to deal unemotionally with Wall Street events, and shun the herd mentality, you will find yourself in the proper cyclical mode much more often: buying at lower prices and, as a result, taking profits instead of losses. Just what if…

Increasing the volume of your ejaculate will directly affect the following aspects of your sexuality:

Increase the strength of your orgasms:

When you take such herbal supplements as amino acids or other natural sexual aids, your body can produce more ejaculate fluid, which increases the strength of your orgasms. Also, strengthening your pc muscle can greatly increase the force with which the ejaculate leaves your penis, making orgasms very intense.

Having a larger amount of ejaculate pass through the penis during an orgasm can prolong coitus (orgasm experience). The pumping sensation of an orgasm, of the semen and ejaculate fluids being pushed out through the ejaculatory ducts.
Improve your sperm count, and overall virility:

In order to fertilize an egg a large amount of sperm is required, many hundreds of millions. While the average man can produce this many sperm multiples times per day, there are external factors that can adversely affect the sperm count. Things such as smoking, drug use, poor diet, lack of exercise, and even wearing tight clothing in the groin area can all decrease the sperm count.

Increasing the volume of your sperm increases your fertility by increasing the number of sperm that are produced during each ejaculation. If you are trying to have children, the number of sperm you ejaculate is quite important, as is their condition. The pc exercise and amino acids such as L-Arginine and L-Lysine also help the health of your sperm, which increases your fertility and the chances of pregnancy (should you be seeking it).

Help your partner enjoy sex more:
When you ejaculate, your penis pumps semen and ejaculate, which many men and women find pleasurable. When you increase the amount of your ejaculate the pleasurable pumping feeling lasts longer, and also increases your pleasure. During intercourse extended pumping and orgasm pleasure improves the experience for both partners.

How do I do it?

Increasing the volume of your semen is done mainly through two things, taking herbal supplements such as amino acids, and the pc exercise. Suggested amino acids and herbal supplements are:
L-Arginine (taken with L-Lysine, to prevent occasional skin problems)

L-Lysine

Veromax (combines the above amino acids, as well as L-Alanine, ginseng, saw palmetto berry, and biloba leaf)
The pc exercise has been proven to help increase the amount of ejaculate produced during orgasm.

By following natural enlargement guides and doing the pc exercise daily, you can experience improved orgasms as well as increased volume.

Since the first paintball game in the 1980s, much has changed in the sport. Paintball is a unique activity in the fact that it offers benefits for players of all skill levels.

Paintball is a game for the beginner and the expert. That being said, the game does change with experience. Novice paintball enthusiasts take advantage of the many games offered by the local paintball field, while expert players enjoy more intricate games.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying the games that are most enjoying. However, getting the most out of paintball might require some exploration.

Capture the flag is a lot of fun to play, and all teammates have an opportunity to participate. Team chemistry and teambuilding are some of the best outcomes that the game can present. Players that don’t get out playing as often as they would like, have a chance for some serious play.

Arena games can also be enjoyed by players of any skill level. Of course, the experienced players will have an advantage. The more it’s played, the better the paintball player will be.

What’s Missing From Paintball?

Much more can be experienced from paintball. Expert players are starting to test out new games. Paintball scenario games have proven to be quite the experience.

Scenario games give the player a once in a lifetime paintball occurrence. The games are planned in advanced, with two large teams competing. Each player has a role in the game, with the teams depending on the player.

The games last anywhere from 24 to 48 hours and are filled with unmatched intensity. Bridges are “blown up” and helicopters fly over-head. War-inspired paintball games change players’ lives.

Who Can Play the Game?

Beginners have a hard time joining the scenario games. They are intimidated by the expert players for the obvious reasons. But they don’t need to be. Any player can add to the team and participate. Once a player gets involved in a paintball scenario game they are addicted for life.

Scenario games are the real deal, and anyone can play. The best paintball equipment is not necessary to play. The camaraderie will last a lifetime, and the desire to play again will never end.

Gather up the friends and Paintball Markers and find a great scenario game in the area. If it takes a trip in the car, it is worth it. The life changing experience of scenario games will change the way paintball will be viewed. Paintball is a lifestyle, not just a game, so go out and explore the possibilities.

A web site dedicated to the writings of the sea, ships and all those that sail on them? It sounds strange as who knows what the Merchant Navy is or what those at sea actually do all day, those who work in the Industry that is. Isn’t the Merchant Navy something to do with fishing or fighting? What is interesting about that? “Get a real job”, some would say and others would ask “and so why haven’t you got a sun tan”. So why would anybody be interested in a web site filled with things that nobody is interested in - beats me.

If one would look through the endless Marine and Nautical webs sites available or if one was to go to a bookshop and look at the available literature on the subject this is what you might find. Ten books on the “Titanic”, dozens of “how to sail around the world in a plastic boat with a sail” DIY books and a couple on “when I was shipwrecked or and attacked by pirates” biographies. This is all good stuff and I must admit to do with the sea and ships, but oh so very long ago! The Merchant Navy of today is not about sails and pirates, it is not about sinking ships and unqualified people sailing the world for adventure, it is not about scurvy and cannibals in foreign lands and it is definitely not about fishing and catching the nearest ferry to France!

Merchant Navy really started to be recognized as early as the Fifteenth Century. This was when hard men in little boats, battled the oceans in the name of exploration. “Yes, dear, I will be back in ten years or so, be good”, would be heard throughout the land. From these times the Merchant Fleet grew into the heart of the British Empire, bringing back all that Tea from China, the spices from the Orient, the fruits from Morocco and the gold from everywhere. Sailing ships became the heart of the spider web that connected Britain to its colonies and outlying Islands. Heroic men set forth to bring back to the British people news and exotic goods that had become so much in demand.

Last Century sailing ships became steam ships and steam ships became fuel oil burning ships. Britain became in the middle of the last century the largest shipbuilder in the world with well over 70% of the ships being built in places like Newcastle, on the Clyde, in London and other famous Maritime Ports and Harbors of the UK. Britain also had the largest Maritime Fleet in the world and dominated Trade everywhere with its powerful supply of home built ships and rufty tufty seafarers. Yes, not long ago Britain was dependent on a massive fleet of ships importing and exporting goods and keeping the Empire together. During these times families all knew what the Merchant Navy was either through having family members at sea or through working in the support Industries of Shipbuilding, Insurance, Imports/Exports, Dockyards, Stevedores amongst many other occupations in the Maritime World!

Times change though! Thirty or so years ago the British Merchant Fleet size started to drop and the shipbuilding Industry started to wither away. Countries like Japan and Korea started building ships using cheaper labor and the cost of building a ship in the UK became prohibitive. Shipyards closed and workers were laid off in their thousands and these workers drifted into other occupations if they could or joined the long queues at the unemployment center. The fleet size reduced in their hundreds as companies either moved their ships to other flags (different countries for cheaper tax incentives) or sold off their fleets to foreign companies. The remaining British ships and the foreign ships sold laid off seafarers by the thousands and employed in their place cheaper crews from such places as India and China.

The British Merchant Navy dropped in size at such a rapid pace that it went from world dominance to nothing in a matter of a couple of years. The significance of the Merchant Fleet in the eyes of the public disappeared overnight and became an unknown quantity to the outside world.

Today things are improving. Recent Tax incentives by the British Government have caused a turn around and certain shipping companies have started to increase their fleet size under the British Flag and other companies have switched their ships operate in the UK. London as the center of Maritime Affairs managed to retain the title of “Marine Capital of the World” throughout the troubled times and still to this day stands proud above all that represents the Marine Industry.

London with its hundreds of Marine Insurance Firms, Brokerage Companies, Lawyers, Import/Export Houses and Ship Business and Consultants (amongst many other support arenas) brings in over one billion pounds per annum to the UK economy? That is London alone and does not include all the other companies and offices situated around the Islands. Furthermore, it also makes no recognition for the 60,000 British seafarers that are still out there plying there trade across the many oceans, nor for the Nautical Schools that still operate in Glasgow, Southampton and Newcastle to name only the major ones. It also does not include those fleets that are registered and operated out of British territories, like Gibraltar and it certainly does not take into account those seafarers that work in the Merchant Navy but don’t subscribe to a Union.

In basic terms the Merchant Navy could be described as any commercially operated waterborne vessel. So any vessel that makes money is a part of the Merchant Fleet. This would include for example: Research Vessels, Ferries, Fishing Boats, Oil Tankers, Passenger Ships, Chemical Tankers, Training Vessels, Hospital Ships, Diving Support Vessels, Anchor Handlers and Tugs to name but a few! It could though be said that the Merchant Navy is anything on the water that is not used to fight with. Or anything on the water that does not have a gun! But there is a crossover point and it is easier to use the Commercial explanation above and to include any ‘pleasure craft’ into the statement.

Merchant Vessels go with Imports and Exports. Trade being their primary purpose and 95% of cargoes shipped around the world is by Merchant Vessels. Not, may I say by aircraft which is often a preconception that those ashore seem to have. Cargo planes carry either very small items, or very expensive items that are needed in a hurry. A plane could not carry Oil around the world and it certainly could not carry toxic and dangerous Chemicals. Fruit is carried in ships as are vegetables and grain to name but a few! Ships carry cargo; planes carry valuable items and cost too much for general items to become viable economically. If oranges where brought in by plane they would cost well over five pounds each at a minimum, I leave that subject to rest in peace!

At home in the UK have a look around your house and think about where the items you see come from! That television in the corner, does it have Sony written on it? The Persian Carpet that decorates your sitting room I am sure was not made in the UK. The children’s toys with “made in Taiwan”, certainly do not come from a UK factory and the tea you are drinking most likely comes from India! What about the Japanese car in the garage and the rice in the bucket in the kitchen? If you were then to go a bit further and look at the wood supporting your roof you may find that it was shipped in from Finland. The gas that heats your water is shipped in from North Sea Oil Wells or from Africa and the fancy gravel that adorns your path came from Spain or France. And by no means, were any of these goods or items shipped in to Britain by an airplane! Ships brought all of these goods to your supermarket shelves, for you to enjoy in your home!

As seafarers are not fighting (which seems a common misconception) and we don’t play cards all day let us clearly state that the average seafarer suffers from overwork and stress. Stress built up over the time he spends on the ship due to the high volume of work and the responsibility that is placed on his shoulders. I will leave it at that. It would take a whole volume to describe the jobs and routines that seafarers in their respective ranks are responsible for and I suggest that you read alternative literature (if you can find any) or join up! Seafarers in short have too much to do at sea and suffer as a result of it!

The Merchant Navy today is improving in stature and in size in the UK. Slowly and with time it may grow once again to be a recognizable force and understood and respected by the general population. Long gone have the times when a Captain was a respected figure in the community but maybe he will one day be able to lift his head high a not hide under the lie of being “a travelling salesman”. One day Marine Engineers will be come respected as extremely qualified experts and not classified on the same level as a car mechanic straight out of school. Maybe one day everybody will realize that being at sea does not mean a “wife in every port” and that often nowadays seafarers no longer manage to leave the ship in their time onboard. Maybe one day seafarers will be able to go ashore and tell people what they do without having a blank response or a daft reply like “oh, erm you fish?”, or “that’s good, you do a good job protecting out shores”.

The reason for setting up a web site for the written word of the sea may now be a bit more logical to the “landlubber”. There is in fact a whole world out there that remains unknown to all. An extremely diverse and interesting world filled with cultural shock and intrigue and through the web site it is hoped that all readers will gain massive insight and knowledge into this world. The Merchant Navy and those that sail on the ship deserve far more recognition and respect than they get to date. So maybe through this web site all will change and soon Officers and Crews of the many Vessels that ply their trades will be able to lift their heads high and shout “we are in the Merchant Navy”. And all those that hear will understand and respect those persons that are part of what was once the greatest Industry that Britain can lay claim to.

Without great ideas, no organization can stay afloat, much less flourish. Managers and top executives are constantly struggling to come up with big ones - creative marketing strategies, ingenious cost-cutting schemes and other corporate solutions that will save time and money and improve productivity. But what few of them realize is that right under their noses is a virtually limitless source of valuable ideas - ideas that can revolutionize their company and help bring substantial and sustainable competitive advantage. These great ideas come, surprisingly, from the lowest point of the corporate food chain - from the frontline employees who do the “dirty” work and who therefore see a lot of problems and opportunities that their managers do not.

Employee ideas are a lot more valuable than most managers think. More importantly, they can be had virtually for free, if you know how. This book teaches the most effective methods for tapping this “hidden” resource, based on extensive research in more than 300 organizations around the world. It offers precise techniques for setting up an idea management system that can empower your people, transform your organization and make you a much more effective leader.

The Idea Revolution

In traditional companies there are two distinct types of
workers:

1. The thinkers - the supervisors, managers and other
executives; and

2. The doers - the frontline employees.

The rationale behind this division is that regular workers
are not capable of the kind of critical thinking needed for problem solving and strategy formulation, and therefore they should not participate in brainstorming.

The Idea Revolution invites you to break free from this old, limiting thinking pattern and to change the rules, because the truth is that although your frontline workers may indeed not have the knack for strategic planning, they do possess other, equally valuable type of knowledge - detailed, practical information about the company’s daily operations, and common sense. Because they are actually where the action is, so to speak, they see a lot of things that you do not - what the customers really need, what machines are not working, what is being wasted. And often they know what to do to make things better.

The only thing you need to do is to ask and to welcome, not discourage, their ideas.

Why Employee Ideas are Important

In most organizations only the first type of knowledge is encouraged. The other kind is not only discouraged, but actually suppressed. But actually both are needed to run an efficient company. Managers and employees need to cooperate, to contribute what they know in order to come up with workable solutions and significant improvements.

Managers and supervisors can tend to generalize issues and gloss over certain details, while employees who work directly with what is causing the problem know exactly what is wrong and what should be done about it. Their knowledge of the problem is direct and intimate, and they can provide accurate solutions. They know things by experience, not by theory.

The Power of Small Ideas

Big ideas are always more attractive - they are splashier,
grander, always more promising. Managers are therefore more likely to weed out “small” ideas and go for the really big ones, the “home runs” - those that could help generate millions of dollars in revenue or topple the competition, instantly. But when it comes to ideas, small does not always mean ineffective or weak. In fact, in organizations it is often smarter to focus on small ideas rather than on big ones.

Idea Management

As simple as it sounds, getting and using employee ideas to improve your organization’s performance entails a lot of planning, preparation and hard work. Two crucial issues that you would have to deal with are:

• How can the employees be encouraged or motivated to come up with so many ideas?

• Who has time to deal with all of them?

After all, once the ideas start pouring in, they would each have to be evaluated, and then implemented. These are non-value adding tasks that can take up all of your valuable time. The only way you can effectively manage employee ideas is by setting up a good idea system, one that will make the process, which can become messy, organized and productive.

Profound Change

By encouraging the free flow of ideas, you will have the opportunity to bring about a profound transformation within your organization, one that could not only boost its overall performance, but would also liberate the people who work within it.

Idea systems have the power to change the very culture of an organization, by bringing about more trust, respect, openness, commitment and harmony among its people.

When employees see that their ideas are valued, their attitudes change, from one of detachment and frustration to involvement and fulfillment. This not only uplifts the quality of their lives, but also brings about real growth in the organization.

There is hardly anything else that can match the excitement of waiting for the arrival of your baby. Ask any parent, especially the mother-to-be, and you will be told that the new baby’s arrival is, by far, the most cherished and much-awaited event. She waits with baited breath for the moment when she will be able to hold her baby in her arms and see this most wonderful and precious gift of nature. She spends each waking hour counting the ticks of the clock for the baby’s arrival.

One way to shorten the period of waiting is to organize a baby shower. It serves many purposes and helps to take the sting out of the anxiety of waiting.

A baby shower is held to formally inform all the near and dear ones about the baby’s arrival. They, in return, bring gifts for the baby and shower their blessings and good wishes on the expectant mother. Generally baby showers are organized by the parents, friends or relatives.

The idea of holding baby showers has no apparent historical background. It is a typical US style custom that is being widely recognized in countries influenced by the American lifestyle.

Basically, a baby shower serves the purpose of making a joint effort to collect all the essentials for the baby. It helps to reduce the financial burden on the parents-to-be, and also gives them many ideas and useful tips to be prepared for the most important event in their lives. Needless to say, it is a beautiful way to welcome the new member in the family.

Whoever organizes the party has to think of unique and original ideas or themes to make the baby shower a memorable event for the expectant mother. They look for ideas that would best suit her personality or the tone of the occasion. Of course, the underlying theme is of celebration, merrymaking and festivity so that all who come enjoy the occasion.

Finding brand new ideas that have not lost their charm due to overuse is not an easy task. You have to think of so many things, the most important being the gender of the baby.

If you know the sex of the baby it becomes a lot easier to plan the baby shower accordingly. It’s the first step towards organizing the baby shower.

It helps you to decide the theme of the party, and you have then no problem in choosing the appropriate colors and organizing the right kind of games to play.

It goes without saying that it becomes difficult for the organizers to come up with brilliant ideas if the sex of the baby is not known. In such cases, they have to rely on the neutral colors and push their creativity a little harder to think of interesting games to play.

You can organize an excellent and fascinating baby shower, whether or not you know the sex of the baby. Of course, you will have to do your homework and search for some generalized and yet amusing baby shower ideas. You will find any number of ideas floating around that can make the party great. Just keep your eyes and ears open to catch them and personalize them with a bit of ingenuity.

Looking for Baby Shower Ideas

If you have a creative mind, you will have no problem coming up with great baby shower ideas. You will easily think of something attractive, appealing and appropriate.

Someone who is not so ingenuous also has nothing to worry about. There are many magazines and brochures that present excellent ideas. Moreover, it’s’sbest to talk to relatives and friends, and if nothing else works, go to the Internet.

Thanks to information technology, it is not difficult to come up with a perfect baby shower idea. You will find tons of web sites that cater to those who are planning to organize a baby shower. You can pick and choose what suits you best.

Essentially, a baby shower must cater to the taste and style of the guests and keep in line with the personality of the parents-to-be. It should be a fun occasion that can express the joy and happiness of everybody for the baby’s arrival.

It’s easy to fall into a routine that allows your family and
marriage to run smoothly. Routines are good and help you to meet
the many demands on your life. However, it’s important that your
“routine” includes intimate time with your spouse.

Intimate time doesn’t just equate to sex, it equates to intimate
discussions about where your life is now, where you hope it will
go and a few dreams thrown in along the way. Ongoing intimacy
keeps a relationship strong and improves the physical aspect of
your marriage as well.

Intimate times means there are no other demands to distract you
from your sweetheart. If you have kids, it means you need to get
out at least once a week on a date so you can have these types
of conversations.

While you’re talking about getting away, don’t forget to have an
annual get away for a weekend. These marital retreats allow you
to be more relaxed and not worry about child invaders in the
bedroom, telephone calls, spilled milk, or a myriad of other
distractions that stop a romantic moment cold.

Intimate time includes time relaxing together on walks, drives,
picnics etc. These times are also a good time to include the
rest of the family. It’s important to have meaningful family
time together and for your children to see a healthy, intimate
relationship.

After all, if they don’t learn about appropriate intimate
relationships from your example, they will have to look to the
world. Do you really want them to model the examples they will
find on TV, in movies or just next door? These examples may
often be an undesirable or poor model of a healthy relationship.

Although you may hear the groans of…”gross”…”get a
room”…or “not again!” nothing warms a child’s heart more than
seeing their parents in love and showing that love. So hold
hands, cuddle when you watch the TV, let the kids see a kiss
good bye, hello, or just because.

You will find as you have intimate conversations and show
tenderness in public, your intimacy in private will be far more
fulfilling as well.

So throw out the sex tips book and use the time instead to
rediscover the joys of emotional and physical intimacy with your
sweetheart. Then you’ll realize that your marriage wasn’t
needing a few new moves, it was needing true intimacy.

The stunning, castle-like bed and breakfast formerly called St.
Bernard’s Bed & Breakfast now has a new name. St. Bernard’s has
added another business partner, changed its name to Arch Cape
House, and is in the middle of other shifts in direction.

This fall, owner Barbara Dau joined forces with a new business
partner, on-and-off Arch Cape resident Robert Shaw. The result
was St. Bernard’s B&B becoming Arch Cape House and an array of
other interesting plans.

The upscale lodging - just south of Cannon Beach, in Arch Cape -
has a distinctive architecture, built to resemble something
between a castle and northwest ski lodge. It boasts gourmet,
home-cooked breakfasts, a wine social hour, and unique rooms
filled with antiques.

The new name is designed to make it easier to remember and
identify the lodging’s location, said Shaw. The new name also
works better with their revamped website, www.archcapehouse.com,
allowing web surfers to more quickly notice the location.

“There’s a new partner, a new website, and we just thought it
was a good time to change everything,” said Shaw. “We’re just
trying to really let people know where we are and that here they
can get great food, hospitality and that unique architecture -
all overlooking the beaches of Arch Cape.”

Dau and Shaw are planning other changes and additions, including
wine tasting dinners, featuring local artists, cross promotions
with other businesses and events in Cannon Beach, and a garden
that will grow food for Dau’s legendary breakfasts.

Shaw is taking master gardener classes in preparation. “I want
to grow herbs for our own food,” Shaw said. “So we’ll have
organic foods for Barbara’s cooking. Hopefully we’ll get to grow
more, like tomatoes and other vegetables too.”

New bungalows on the property are also in the planning stages,
which would serve as vacation rentals.

Shaw comes from the fishing industry and the tech industry, most
recently having worked with AT&T and IBM, installing
telecommunications equipment and software. Shaw ran his own
fishing boat business for 15 years, sailing between the coasts
of Oregon and Alaska. In the 90’s, he entered the tech world.
His experience includes marketing on the Internet and various
kinds of business management, as well as telecommunications
technology.

His family has been in the Arch Cape since the 30’s. His parents
also run a small lodging there.

Shaw is bringing much of his tech and marketing knowledge to
revamping the approach of many aspects of Arch Cape House. Shaw
and Dau are looking at adding wireless Internet access. Shaw has
already done much with their website, including a much larger
presence on the Net and online booking for the lodging - which
he says is currently responsible for a growing chunk of business
at Arch Cape House.

The intertwining of promotions with other businesses has already
begun. Arch Cape House has linked some lodging specials and
packages with EVOO Cooking School in Cannon Beach and with
Seaside’s Oregon Dixieland Jubilee on February 24 - 26.

Arch Cape House is on East Ocean Rd., just north of the Arch
Cape Tunnel. www.archcapehouse.com.

OK, let’s assume that you’ve got an incredible viral marketing
campaign. You’re receiving tons of visitors, and hopefully many
sales through a viral that’s making its way across the Internet.
But if you’re limiting yourself to one-time sales and affiliate
commission, you’re leaving money on the table. This is where a
residual income opportunity comes in.

In order for something to be viral, it has to have a high
perceived value, and be easy to give away to others right Also,
people must have a strong incentive to give it away, and there
is no greater incentive to give something away than by giving
someone the opportunity to profit mightily through a residual
income opportunity, where they can potentially profit forever
from a simple one-time action.

Many Internet marketers use viral ebooks to increase traffic and
sales. This is an excellent viral strategy, but one that as of
yet hasn’t been utilized to its full potential. There are
endless ways to create a viral marketing campaign.

You can even use this article as a viral tool; it doesn’t even
have to be as complex as compiling an ebook. Articles can be
shared even easier than ebooks, through e-mail, on websites, and
in your ezines. Can you see how compelling a message such as
this can be for whoever reads it?

How long does it take for someone to copy and paste this
article? Not long at all! I allow people who sign up for the
residual income opportunity accessible through my resource box
to replace my website URL with their own. Then they simply share
the article with others.

And the results have been incredible.

So the next time you create a viral marketing campaign, consider
integrating a residual income opportunity that you can profit
forever from, instead of just once!
