Telling Friends

This is probably about one of the most classic ways of doing this. Anything that has gone viral thousands of years ago was simply started by people telling friends. It is how folklore and things of that nature spread over time. Doing this online is the same thing. You’d be surprised how fast things spread in emails that are sent to friends. I’m sure you’ve got emails that are sent to hundreds of your friends with funny pictures and links. That is the purest example of viral marketing. Something as simple as a “Tell Your Friends” link on your webpage can help a lot.

Blogging

Blogging is a very popular way of getting something to go viral due to the RSS feeds and pinging. If you link to another blog, they’ll see your ping back. If someone is subscribed to your blog and they like your content, they’ll put it on their blog. What you’ll see today is that one blog will break a story or create a unique piece of content and it just spreads across the blogosphere. Millions of blogs pick up on content like this in a matter of days. Even if you have a blog that is relatively unknown, it is easy to get known. You can go to any related blog, leave comment with your link.

Social Networking

Social networking is probably about the newest way to make something go viral. It sort of fits under the category of telling a friend, but I think it deserves its own category. When you tell a friend online through a social networking site like Digg, Facebook, Scribd, etc you’re really “shouting” or sharing with your friends. Simple articles have gone viral on Digg in a matter of hours. Websites end up getting so much traffic that their website crashes. That is how big social networking is right now.

Videos

With the emergence of major video websites people have been able to communicate online through a different means. Video has existed online for a long time, but it has been the last few years where it has grown into a phenomenon. Any stupid, funny, slip up and educational video is easy to put up. You don’t have to be an expert to do this. If your video entertains a lot of people it will spread around. Videos online today are getting more traffic than regular news sites. It’s big. The great thing is people are looking for more great videos and you can submit it to many directories.

Podcasts (Audio)

Before video become popular on the internet, it was the podcasts that had the viral exposure. I think what made this type of content popular was that it was easy. People could just lay back and listen to it. If people liked it they’d send off the audio to others.

Email

I’m sure you’ve seen the free email services that put a nice little signature at the bottom promoting their service; well you can do the same thing. If you email a list of people, make interesting emails that are full of buzz. Tell your readers to forward the messages to their friends. Telling them may seem trivial, but you’d be surprised at how many people will do what you tell them.

Article Directories

This is how things spread in the good old days of the internet. It still is a great way to do things. Articles are submitted to directories and other website owners will pick up your content. They’ll link back to your site through a bio box, so they’re not leeching off of you. Normal articles will get sites that will use them, but if you create a good buzz worthy article you’ll have thousands of websites picking it up. The readers of those websites will email their friends and talk about it on their own blogs. You should be able to see how fast this spreads.

Website

Your website is the only central part of all viral marketing. There is no point in doing any viral marketing if people don’t come to your website or link to your website. The great thing about it is that once you have something go viral, you’ll have readers for a longtime. They’ll visit your site, even if you have nothing that interesting to talk about.

Like any college student, it was hard for me to find time to finish writing what had matriculated into a short novel, but there turned out to be no better time to finish writing my book than during the 8 hour bus ride from Syracuse to Pittsburgh during winter break of my freshman year, 2004 to visit some of my best friends from high school.

I figured the easy part was over. I liked to write, I finally had a big bulk of time to get my thoughts together on paper and organize the gibber jabber, so the next step was what to do with the 50+ typed pages I had of my baseball story. None of my friends had anything published, and neither did anyone else I knew, so I did what any other college kid looking to get a book published would do: I looked up “book publishing” on the internet. Sure enough, I came across Publish America.

It seemed too good to be true at first as I read through what Publish America was all about. All I needed to do was send them an e-mail with a short abstract, explaining what my book was about, and attach the book as a document. Although I figured it was too easy to actually amount to anything, I had a spec of hope, so I followed the directions and sent away the e-mail, still feeling empty and unsure with what to do with my writing.

To my surprise, only a few days later, I received an e-mail from a very helpful woman on the editing team that said something to the effect that Publish America wanted to give my book a shot and that they would need my mailing address so I could fill out all the necessary information to send the book over to be published. I immediately wrote back, telling her how excited I was and asking her if there were any “catches” or “loop holes.” Her timely response told me to look over their terms on their website. They were a one of a kind publishing company, and they want to expose authors that otherwise cannot be exposed due to financial restraints or other reasons. All I needed to see were the following bullets on the FAQ page of the website, and I was sold:

* PublishAmerica adheres to the traditional publishing concept: we assume all financial risks and all expenses, we earn our income by selling books, and books only.

* The author pays no fees of any kind, at any time. We want your book, not your money.

The process was virtually painless and surprisingly quick as I received the necessary paperwork a week later and took the time to fill it all out. After they received the paperwork back from me, I was then responsible for editing my book before it would be sent to editing one final time before publication. I was very pleased with how easy the process was, as one of the people I worked with at Publish America wrote in one of our e-mails, “At Publish America, the author has really only one obligation: to provide us with the completed final-version manuscript. We’ll take it from there.”

In only a matter of 4 months, I received my first copy of my own Published book, “The Game of a Lifetime,” and had my own link to purchase the book directly off line at Publish America: http://www.publishamerica.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?Search=Yes.

A few months later, I received notice that the book was then available on BarnesAndNoble.com, Borders.com, as well as Amazon.com. I was ecstatic, and quickly spread the word by telling all of my friends and exposing the respective links on blogs, profiles, anything I could find. The book is selling still today from anywhere from $ 9.99-$ 12.99, and I make 10% of each book that is sold, and that percentage goes up once the total number of books sold reaches a certain number. I get royalty checks twice a year, and am proud to say that I am a published author. If you are a writer and have some ideas in mind, or even have something written from years ago that you had dreamt of getting published, send it over to Publish America. What do you have to lose?

Renewable energy generally includes solar power, wind power, and biofuels. For all categories, there are ways to integrate them into your daily life and into your home to make yourself more energy efficient. These changes will certainly save you money over the long run–and in some case in the short term—but they will also help reduce the massive strain that is being placed on the planet in general.

There are a large number of companies, both large and small, that advertise their specific product or service that fits into the renewable energy industry. There are a great number of businesses that manufacture, install and repair all types of solar panels. Likewise, there are a corresponding number of businesses that sell, service and install systems designed to capture wind power. Still more companies are out there manufacturing and selling various forms of biofuels. Biofuels include bio diesel and ethanol. There are also a very few companies engaged in research and development of hydrogen furnaces which run on biomass, often barnyard waste. While all these companies are in business to make money, the combined effect of what they are selling and producing is a positive one for the environment. Renewable energy is an undeniable fact of life for us now, and we all have a form of social responsibility to do our part to advance it into the mainstream. Regardless if the motivation is purely financial—to either make or save money—the end result is the same; a reduction in the emissions and pollution produced by traditional fossil fuels, and a cleaner, more sustainable environment and economy.

Trends toward renewable energy are taking hold on a more widespread basis every day. One will hear more frequent mention of terms like “green construction” or “green companies”. These terms refer to building houses in an environmentally friendly manner, making as much use of renewable energy technology as possible and to businesses that have adopted an organized and serious policy to reducing their environmental impact through use of renewable energy.

Renewable energy has become such a popular subject, that it is seen as a constant theme in contemporary media, including major movies, TV programs and in music. The growing awareness and concern with environmental issues is fueling the fundamental shift toward being more environmentally conscious and toward using renewable energy whenever possible. There is still much pollution and waste in the world today, but there has never been such a high and growing level of awareness and motivation to change our fundamental lifestyles in order to save and cure our climate. Renewable energy is a fundamental piece of the puzzle for not only a healthy planet, but a healthy life as well.

What’s in a Package?

As the name implies, full-service SEO packages are those offerings from online marketing companies that will give you a whole set of SEO services. This is the ‘set meal’ of SEO services, in contrast to the typical ‘ala carte’ system of getting services one by one. So why get a package in the first place?

It’s been proven time and again that using SEO techniques in conjunction with each other will give you much better results than employing them individually. The more methods you combine in your SEO strategy, the better and faster the results will be because each method feeds off the effectiveness of the rest. Full-service SEO packages aim to produce that effect for your site, to multiply the results of one SEO technique using a multitude of others.

Full-service packages typically tackle the optimization of your site on many levels, starting with the most basic ones. That includes analyzing your current site, measuring up the competition and optimizing content that’s already there. Off-site marketing methods like SEO copywriting and Squidoo lens creation are also standard inclusions in full-service packages. Regular reporting and results analyses are a more recent addition to the standard package.

Should You Get Full-Service?

If you’re serious about using SEO on your site, a full-service SEO package will definitely be a good idea. Whether your site’s long-established or newly created, a big and comprehensive SEO package would give you a much-needed boost with the search engines. And remember that your competitors all have access to SEO services of their own too; a multi-method approach like a full-service package would help you keep up with the pace – and maybe even take the lead.

Of course, the provider of your full-service package should also be a serious consideration. The online marketing company that will render the services should be more than capable with all the tasks involved, and that’s a very long list. For full-service packages, it’d be easier for you to deal directly with a professional SEO company instead of those freelance outfits. Pro companies have several SEO specialists working under them, so you’re sure to get better output.

Real webmasters usually see their payments for full-service packages not as mere expenses but as good investments in their sites. After all, it’s unlikely that your site will go anywhere without SEO, and a complete package is simply the most efficient way to do it. You’ll be getting better results in less time; what more could you want?

An Anaerobic Digestion system which is suitable for processing mixed (black bag) waste has been developed from technology first developed in Israel.

It recovers resources from waste while producing renewable energy and helping to reduce carbon emissions.

The ArrowBio process has been developed through a series of pilot and demonstration plants to a level ready to be used commercially in many countries, and is best described as a water-based mechanical biological treatment (MBT) facility, with energy recovery.

ArrowBio’s process has been developed in such a way that it can either be used as a stand-alone solution or in conjunction with other technologies. For example it can be built within sustainable energy parks to provide a source of energy for the park, as well as recycled materials for further processing.

The recycled materials are re-used as feedstock by the other businesses based within the park to create a variety of products.

Two Stage Anaerobic Digestor

ArrowBio sets out to fully recover and wash the recyclable elements of the waste, so it should be favoured by environmental groups which tend to object to alternative processes which handle mixed waste, like incineration, on the basis that the ability of incineration to handle mixed wastes reduces the necessity to separate and recycle, and that the flu gas can contain toxic chemicals. The argument is also that incineration makes it too easy to neglect recycling, so it should not be used. None of these objections apply to Anaerobic Digestion.

The process has at its core a two stage anaerobic digestor which has been optimized for better energy yield than competing systems, from every unit mass of organic matter processed.

Extracting the maximum available gas yield, is in fact a stated primary aim of the ArrowBio processs.

This is recognised as good policy environmentally, and of course the gas and, or electricity generates revenue, which helps to pay for the upkeep of the plant.

The process consists of two distinct yet integrated components: a “front-end” wet Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and a “back-end” advanced anaerobic digestion system.

The wet MRF combines standard solid waste handling technology in combination with liquid and slurry pumping, water based processing facilitates, passive separation, and cleaning of recyclables and their automatic conveyance around the facility, while also suppressing odours and dust.

The wet MRF the action is cleans, and recovers, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and plastics separated by type. These are then sorted into recycled materials of various grades that can be sold directly into the recycling market.

A “hydrocrusher” has also been successfully developed by ArrowBio which forms part of the wet (anaerobic) process. In effect the biodegradable waste is jetted with high pressure jets of water through a series of pipes. Food and paper is torn apart, greatly increasing the surface area available to biological action, while simultaneously suspending the organic chemicals in a watery solution.

Any waste that is not recoverable or that is not sent through the anaerobic digesters exits from the ArrowBio facility as a residue, and is normally present in only in minor quantities.

The first part of ArrowBio’s anaerobic digestion process is known as the acidogenic stage, and the second is a methanogenic stage. The biomass achieves optimum efficiency compared with single tank AD, and optimisation of pH levels, temperature and residence times is achieved automatically.

The plant has low emissions. The ArrowBio design needs no costly gas scrubbing stage, and the largely water borne technique does not produce the troublesome (dust, odour, etc) emissions experienced from other processes.

Recognition of the sustainability benefits of Anaerobic Digestion is rising fast. Find out more about this technology for the future at the Anaerobic Digestion web site, and more about the ArrowBio AD Process.

Benefit #1: Flexible Schedule

When you have your own eBook publishing business, your schedule is very flexible. This is a huge advantage to many people. It’s often extremely difficult for students to work a standard type of job, because it’s too hard to juggle their class and work schedules. An eBook business lets them write and publish when they have time, and make money through online sales even when they are in class or taking exams. It can allow stay-at-home parents to work their business around family responsibilities, without childcare expenses. Retirees are able to enjoy the “good life” of retirement, but still make some extra income.

Even people who already have a job may need additional income. An eBook business provides an easy way to create extra income, without disrupting your normal work schedule.

Benefit #2: The Ability to Make Money 24/7

With most jobs, you only have the opportunity to make money while you are on the job. This isn’t the case with an eBook publishing business. While you do need to spend time writing and publishing your eBooks, once you have them written, you can market and sell them online, over and over again, without much more effort on your part. Via the Web, customers will be able to search for and buy your eBooks night and day… even while you sleep!

These benefits are just a few of the many reasons why having an eBook publishing business could be the perfect way to profit while working within your own schedule.

Webcasts can be in the form of audio or video clips, PowerPoint slides or any other type of presentation. The basic purpose of webcasts is to promote the call center services to an international network of clients through the Internet. The call center can invite participants to the webcast. The participants could be clients, business peers or experts who can add value to the discussion. A successful webcast makes a very professional impression on the clients. When you are looking for B2B lead generation, you will be expected to be professional in the way you make your project pitch. Webcasts are opportunities for the BPO units to not just make the pitch, but also demonstrate that their call center services are in sync with cutting-edge technology. The skills of the employees working for you will be tested to the hilt.

What are the essentials of a successful webcast? First, you will need to plan very carefully. Novelty is the operative word here. When you call over clients and participants, you will have to offer them something that they are not expecting. That is the way call centers grab eyeballs. It could be in the form of an innovative use of traditional telemarketing function, a tweak in the usual way of doing things or something that distinguishes your call center services from the others in the block. Being different is the key. You may build up a webcast and hype it through smart marketing, but if you cannot deliver your promises, you are setting your call center up to be blacklisted as gimmicky.

The second point is to check for the technical glitches that can dampen your reputation as a serious call center service provider. You can never say which component will die on you, leaving your webcast in dire straits. Get your technical team to double-check every aspect of the webcast, including Internet connections, the computers you will be using and how the participants will be connected. Webcasts being technically superior exercises, the BPO unit would do well to sort things out before the session rolls. The big advantage of webcast is that it is real-time. You can cut across time zones and connect base with clients and business associates in their convenient time frames. Plan your webcast well and you will be able to add to your B2B lead generation without much hassle.
