I came across a great free report today, by Melissa Ingold from InternetMarketingSweetie.com.
It’s called “The Top 10 Words That Say Buy And Why They Work“, and it should be of great benefit to anybody who markets or sells online (or even offline, for that matter).
As the title indicates, the report not only details the top ten words that will help you to increase sales, but it also explains why they work.
Some of these words you could probably guess (e.g. “free”), but I’m pretty sure there will be at least one in there that will surprise you.
Anyway, right-click here to download your free copy – it’s only 17 pages, and won’t take you long to read, but the benefit you’ll obtain will be more than worth the time you take perusing it.

Thoughts On Life
Through a mutual friend, I am fortunate enough to have met somebody (I use the term “met” loosely, as we’re Facebook friends) called Jacques Le Sueur.
Jacques is a magician living in South Africa, and he has just written an amazing eBook called “Conjure“.
What is it about?
Well, it’s hard to describe, but it’s partly drawn from the bizarre variety of experiences he’s had, so here’s what Jacques has to say about it: it’s “a little bit about adventure, a little bit about marketing, a little bit about magic. Creating a message to share with the world, and getting people to pay you bags of cash for it.“
There are two really good reasons to download and read this book.
Firstly, it is both entertaining and inspiring, and contains information that you will definitely find useful, no matter what you do in life.
Secondly, it’s free!
Having said that, Jacques does ask for donations, which is something I highly recommend doing, as a small token of thanks for creating this truly unusual eBook.
Download your copy of “Conjure” today – you won’t regret it!

I’ve spoken before about Paul Myers, and how he is one of the few people whose emails I positively look forward to receiving.
Well, Paul writes some really first class material, and he has just released a free version called “How To Communicate Authentically In Print“, also sub-titled “Finding Your Voice“.
This free report addresses one of the main problems in creating online content (e.g. for your site or blog), namely, a “way of writing that communicates a unique and distinctive personality, rather than just another of the infinite monkeys, banging away at infinite keyboards”, as Paul eloquently puts it.
If you maintain a website or blog, or you’re thinking of starting one, then you really should download and read this free report.
Remember, it won’t cost you a cent, and if you apply what Paul teaches, you’ll have a site or blog that really lets your true personality shine through, which will immediately differentiate it from almost every other site on the web.
Download “How To Communicate Authentically In Print” now.

I can’t remember how I stumbled across this website, but I’m glad I did.
Allen Jesson bills himself as a poet and philosopher, and he publishes what he calls The 77 Secrets, which is a series of daily emails with various secrets on how to be happy, healthy, wealthy and wise.
So far, I’m 28 secrets into the series, and they do cover a variety of subjects.
The emails are relatively short, well-written, and as he says on his website, even if you only implement one or two of the secrets, your life will be better for it.
The 77 Secrets are 100% free, he doesn’t bug you to buy tons of other stuff (unlike some people), and you’ll learn something new and useful every day (for 77 days, anyway).
So, subscribe to The 77 Secrets now – you definitely won’t regret it.

My laptop, which is between one and two years old, is starting to behave in some very strange and undesirable ways.
For example, things lock up (applications or all of Windows), I get the occasional BSOD, CHKDSK starts but will never finish, etc.
And relatively recently, I’ve been having problesm with Windows Explorer, which I use a lot – usually two instances are running at any one time.
One main problem is that the first time I try to run it after a reboot, it locks up most of Windows, and my only solution is to use the Task Manager to kill the explorer.exe process, which I know is risky, and then to use the Run command to open the application again.
In most cases, this works fine – but not always, which then leads to yet another reboot.
And these past few days, it’s been going unresponsive for no apparent reason at random times.
As I need this application to do a lot of what I do, I decided enough was enough and went on the hunt for a good replacement for Windows Explorer (and preferably one that was free).
A quick search on Google instantly turned up a couple of contenders, so I downloaded both and tried them out.
The first was Explorer++, created by David Erceg, and the second was Q-Dir, created by Nenad Hrg.
So, what were the relative pros and cons of each of them?
The good news is that both are free, and both can be run as portable apps.
Explorer++ supports multiples tabs, which is a nice feature, and I particularly liked the Bookmarks toolbar for fast access to folders used regularly. (One of my all-time favourite applications is Folder Guide, which integrates nicely with Windows XP Pro, so I wanted to replicate this funcationality if possible.)
However, my biggest issues with Explorer++ were the strange way it sorts and/or groups folder contents, and it also seems to be very slow.
Q-Dir, on the hand, is very fast indeed, and instead of supporting multiple tabs, it does offer multiple panes, anywhere from one to four of them, which makes drag and dropping of files really fast and easy.
The help information on both apps is somewhat sparse, and at first, the thing I didn’t like about Q-Dir was the fact I couldn’t work out how to use the Quick Links feature (which is this app’s Folder Guide type functionality), but once I tracked that down, it met all of my requirements, and this is the one I think I’ll be sticking with.
So, if you’re looking for a good, free Windows Explorer alternative, my vote goes for Q-Dir.

SEO
Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO as it’s commonly known for short, is all about getting your website ranked highly on the search engines – if you can get your site listed on the first page of the search engine results, or preferably even in first place, then you can get a lot of free traffic to your site.
But the more you read about SEO, especially if you visit the many forums that discuss this subject, the more you’ll come to realise that opinions are, at best, divided – and that’s putting it mildly.
There are many so-called SEO “experts” who would have you believe that they have cracked the Google code and know how to get your site to the top of the rankings, but let’s be honest – the only people who know the exact criteria are Google themselves (and probably a handful of employees at that).
Most of what you’ll read sounds like fact, but is often unfounded opinion, frequently passed from one person to the next, with nothing to substantiate their beliefs.
One man, however, is different, and that man is Jonathan Leger.
Jonathan has done, and continues to do, a lot of testing with regard to SEO, and when he says something works or doesn’t work, you can pretty much take it as read that he has done the research to back up his claims.
So, who better to write the definitive book about SEO?
However, don’t be scared – this book, Geek-Free SEO, is not only very short (just 38 pages, and that includes the usual stuff like the cover page, copyright notification, table of contents and author bio pages), but also very direct – there’s no fluff, just solid examples of how to go about getting your site ranked.
Even if you’ve never heard the term SEO before, Geek-Free SEO will set you off on the right track in no time at all.
Oh, and did I mention that Geek-Free SEO is also free?
To get your free copy, all you need to do is right-click on either the image of the book cover, above, or the words “Geek-Free SEO“, and select the Save Target As … (or Save Link As…), and you’ll be able to download your copy of this vital book within a few seconds.
(And even if you do know something about SEO, I still recommend you read it, as you’ll probably learn something new.)

For all but the most die-hard programming propeller-heads, the term “regular expression” is liable to bring out a cold sweat.
True, they’re incredibly powerful …
… but they’re also incredibly hard to get your head around.
So, what is a regular expression (aka regex or regexp)?
Well, in a nutshell (a Wikipedia nutshell, to be precise), they Read more…

I’ve been involved in various aspects of Internet marketing since 2004, at a guess, and I’ve seen many so-called “gurus” come and go.
I’ve subscribed, at one time or another, to most of their lists, and for reasons I’ll explain here, I’ve also unsubscribed from most of them.
You see, to me, it seems that most of these people might originally come out with something useful and/or good (although many don’t), but after that, and they’ve nothing else to offer, they all bombard you with the same emails promoting the latest “big thing”, just to try to make some affiliate commissions and get to the top of the league tables.
To me, if you’ve one thing to say, and you’ve said it, then that’s it. I really don’t want to receive dozens of emails all promoting the same product launch.
This is even more true when you realise that the stuff that has always worked will always work – without the need for loopholes and fads and fancy scripts, etc.
So after all this time, and after wading through (and mainly deleting) what must be thousands of emails, who do I still listen to?
Sadly, not very many of them.
But there is one person who is genuinely different (well, there are a few, but I may have to write about them some other time) …
… and his name is Paul Myers.
What makes Paul different?
Well:
- He doesn’t send you a load of junk mail (aka spam) promoting stuff that he clearly hasn’t tested for himself.
- He doesn’t send you one or more emails every single day, clogging up your inbox.
- When he does email you, what he says is well-written, unique content that’s useful, educational, often humorous, and that offers a perspective that nobody else seems to offer.
- When he does promote his own products, of which he has quite a few, then you can guarantee that they will be reasonably-priced (I think the most I’ve paid for anything is probably $27), and yet they offer much more value than most everything else I’ve bought (including the really expensive stuff too).
In fact, I positively look forward to receiving Paul’s emails – to the point that I wish he would write more frequently (although I accept that if he did that, the quality may not be sustainable, not that I feel that this would be a real problem for him).
So, do yourself a favour, head on over to TalkBiz News, and sign up for his newsletter.
Not only will you be glad you did, but you’ll also receive a free copy of his highly-acclaimed book, “Need To Know“.
