Business Invoice Forms - The Perfect Business Tool

Business invoice forms are a critical tool in improving customer relations, which more often than not is the root cause of business longevity or lack thereof. The value of good customer relations cannot be overstated in today's cut throat business environment, one therefore needs to take their time in selecting one of the several available based on their unique requirements.

Business invoice forms not only help in customer relations, but also work wonders for the company's image. Well designed and developed business invoices fulfil multiple purposes. The first is to brand the company. Some if the items one would typically expect to find in an invoice include the company logo, the company name and in some cases its motto. Most invoices are designed in the company colours and styled in the company's unique theme.

The second is likely the more important function served by the company business invoice. This has to do with the company's relations with its customers and goes to the heart of the business transaction.
The invoice sets out details of the transaction in question in terms of the quantity and quality of goods delivered, or the nature of the service provided. It also sets out the terms of the transaction, be it Cash on Delivery,replica Alain Silberstein, or if there was a credit period negotiated. The invoice may also set out the manner in which the obligations are to be discharged i.e. cheque, cash etc. It may also include the amount of tax applicable if any.

Finally, the invoice provides a structured system through which the company can monitor supply of goods and services in relation to the receipt of payments for the same. Whereas it is possible to keep records of supplies and payments in other formats such as Word and Excel, most of these will require that you visit multiple documents to keep track of payments unlike a template which can actually generate reminders when payments are overdue.

Discounted Travel Programs

Many people would love to see the world through traveling but can not because of the expense. To make travel more accessible, some companies are offering their employees programs that have discounted-travel options. Employee discount travel-programs provide cheaper rates for staff and their families so they can enjoy the excitement of traveling.

Some businesses provide discount-travel as part of their benefits package. The employer works with various travel-agencies to secure special deals for their employees.

So, if a company uses a specific travel-agency for all of their corporate-travel accommodations, the agency may provide select discounts to that company so they can establish an employee travel program.

Those working for a travel agency may reap even greater benefits. Sometimes a travel agency may offer to reimburse its employees travel expenses including,Alain Silberstein, food, intercity travel and hotel rooms.

In some cases, the cost of international calls may also be reimbursed as long as the calls are related to their travel plans. There are some discount travel plans that provide discount coupons to supermarkets and restaurants to help employees to be able to afford to travel as they would like to.

Employees of airlines and railways often receive special travel accommodations, as well. Staff and their family may receive free air and rail tickets to anywhere in they want to go. Railway employees and their immediate families are sometimes upgraded to first class tickets.

Some companies are so committed to providing discounted travel opportunities to their employees that they occasionally become agents. They search out businesses that are looking for to serve travelers by providing discounts and match them with companies looking to offer discounted travel programs to their staff.

Discounted programs can also be a draw for new employees and a way to retain established ones.

Blind Carbon Copy - How and Why to Use BCC

Blind Carbon Copy, or BCC, is a little known aid in writing professional looking and etiquette-wise emails to multiple individuals.

Quite simply, Blind Carbon Copy ("Bcc:") is a replacement for Carbon Copy ("Cc:") and multiple "To:" entries that prevents each of the recipients from seeing the other recipient addresses that the email was sent to.

Now, on occasion, you want to use CC so that the recipient of your email is aware that someone else was sent the information also; whether as an implied threat (cc: your supervisor) or to let the recipient know that a mutual correspondent has the information also - no need for them to forward it on. I would dare say that most times, however, that is not the optimal solution.

Here are 4 reasons to use Blind Carbon Copy

1. 
   A given recipient may not want his/her email address given out to others. This can be for privacy, which they are entitled to, or as a preventative means of reducing their own spam received. (See my article titled "SPAM - 7 Steps to Prevent SPAM".)
   
   Early e-letter writers had a habit of putting everyone's address in either the "to:" or "cc:" field. Everyone then saw everyone else's address. I know a banker who did this once and had several recipients call his boss demanding his termination (he kept his job but offered an apology). I saw some very interesting names in this list; and I had the opportunity - which I did NOT take - to record their email address.
   


2. 
   Conflicting personalities and interests. Either you or a recipient may not want everyone on the list to know there is an affiliation between two or more of the other parties in the recipient list. This might be for business purposes or personal relationships.


3. 
   Increase readability. Having 10, 20, 30 or more email addresses listed takes more space on the screen when viewing, looks unprofessional, and takes a lot more space if anyone forwards the email without using my advice from my article "Email Etiquette - Making YOU Look Good" to remove to/from info from any forwarded email.


4. 
   Makes you look like a pro. Even if you are indifferent of others' privacy preference, do it for yourself. It's polite, professional and makes you look good. It could even save your job!

Hopefully you are convinced that Blind Carbon Copy is a tool you should use at least some of the time.

Here is HOW to use Blind Carbon Copy

First, address the email to yourself. A blank "To:" field might work also, but some servers will view such an email as spam (same goes for a blank subject). And resist the desire to put multiple addresses in the "To:" field unless you KNOW that they all correspond with each other currently,Chronoswiss replica, and it will NOT cause any problems among the recipients. Even then, "Bcc:" is just safer.

Second, bypass the "Cc:" field and choose "Bcc". Here's how in three popular email programs:

• Outlook - Select "View" from the menu, then click "BCC Field".


• Outlook Express - Select "View" from the menu, then select "All Headers".


• Thunderbird - Click the dropdown arrow where it says "To:" and select "Bcc:" instead. With Thunderbird, I believe it's Ok to skip the "To:" entry as Thunderbird will fill in with "". If you don't want anyone to know that multiple addresses were included, just put your own email address in the "To:" field and just indicate that this is your normal procedure if anyone asks.
  

Finally, type in a meaningful subject and create the email as you would any other. Click send and they're off.

Easy enough, isn't it? I suggest making Blind Carbon Copy the standard method of sending emails and only using regular Carbon Copy when that's really what you want; and rarely, if ever, using multiple "To:" entries.

Look like a pro, feel like a pro, and avoid potential problems with this valuable email technique.

Phone Vs. Email- Which is Better for Conducting Online Business-

How do you conduct your internet business? There are two primary types of communicators as far as I can see: the emailers and the phone callers. What category do you fall under?

I am an emailer. I find email to be incredibly handy for the following reasons:

- It doesn't encumber upon people's schedules

- Conversation trail is easily traceable

- Email is more direct with less BS (assuming that both parties have a knack for written communication tho I realize that's not always the case)

Are you a phone call person? Yes, it's true... sometimes a phone call is necessary to "firm up the deal." Many marketers also enjoy getting together for coffee or lunch if proximity allows. If you currently have several individuals working for you, then taking some time out for lunch meetings and extended phone calls is not such a big deal. But if you're tiny and just starting out, being away from the desk can be dangerous! You may wish for a way to dodge those precious time-zappers and keep the excess communication to a miniumum.

Which is the shortest distance to the the main agenda... is it phone, or is it in fact email? How does an Emailer deal with a Non-emailer? Are these types of people simply not meant to do business together? Or can they reach a communication compromise? Let's see what these internet marketers had to say on the matter:

"When I first started using email I did a test. I had a vendor who liked everything emailed instead of taking calls. I didn't tell him I was testing so we planned our project through email, although it was very frustrating for me. For the next similar project, I asked him to deal with me on the phone. The results? The same basic project that we worked on was pulled together in about 15 minutes on the phone but the emailed version took one week!!

I am able to cover in a half hour on the phone what would take days to accomplish with email. To me the grueling task of actually conversing by typing is beyond my comprehension and I can't believe people really do this. It is not at all time effective and there is no immediate feedback. In fact... I wish I could just put an Instant Audio clip on here for you." :-)

- Marilyn Jenett, http://FeelFreetoProsper.com

"I tell my clients, 'I appreciate all this information you are providing. Can you send it via email (or whatever) so I can have a copy for future referrence?'

However, this may backfire. I've had several situations where I took the time to write everything in an email or fax (whichever they've requested), and the person on the other end only looked at the first few lines before adding their input. I had to once tell a person to call me back only after completely reading my fax. The reason being was that her 'underlings' made me fax the info, instead of talking to her in the first place. Making the person send you an email, and then ignoring half of it will just encourage him/her to call in the future, instead of emailing."

- Angelo Cerase, Advent Financial Group - http://AdventFG.com

"My solution to this problem is to allow the conversation to go for a couple of minutes, and then say 'Joe, I have to leave for a meeting. Could you send me a note that covers all of this, so that I don't forget it? Thanks! I gotta go!' Then I hang up.

If they're serious, they'll send me an email or a letter. If they don't send anything and just call me back later, I tell them I forgot about their earlier call, and then go through the routine again. It works for me!"

- Kurt Schweitzer, [http://soundandlovingcare.com] - Helping family caregivers correct, avoid, or cope with behavior problems in dementia patients

So it seems that no matter which mode of communication you prefer to do business, two rules apply:

1. Be aware of the other person's valuable time. Stick to the agreed topic, and avoid talking too long and veering from the primary subjectmatter.

2. Be assertive in getting what you want out of the call or email. If you find that the other party is digressing,Swiss Rolex Daytona, politely help them to get back on track. And when negotiation-time comes around... ALWAYS get it in writing!

The second time it happened, it was my junior brother who was in need of some money. When he came to me,Rolex Sea Dweller replica, I had to pick one out of the methods I knew about to generate the money that was needed.

The first method was brought to my attention by Jimmy D. Brown. The only thing is that only people with lists can use this method. So that got me to the third method.

The third method is all about niche marketing. This method is very effective and anybody can use it to generate money in a flash but some steps must be monitored.

What is this method all about?

I believe you know that there are problems all over the place and people are willing to pay money for the solutions to the problems.

To summarize, this method is in 4 parts which are:

1. Find a problem that eagerly needs to be solved.

2. Find the people with that problem.

3. Find the solution to the problem and package it.

4. Offer it to the people who need it.

What Are Novelty Wall Clocks-

There are many different kinds of wall clocks to choose from. Some of them are as follows: digital, led, lighted (that glow in the dark), 24-hour clocks, and whatever other kinds off clocks.

Oh, but how about the novelty wall clocks? Well, to be classified as "novelty wall clocks", they must have a unique sound or telling of time, and a special arrangement of parts. On October 9, 1882, New Haven Clock Co. patented the "Flying Pendulum" or Ignatz clock. This was a one-day, time-only, clock. It had a pendulum, a ball on a string, which swung from side to side, and wound and unwound on the outer posts.

The clocks that featured eye movements, produced in 1874 and 1912, were "Topy" and "Continental". When the pendulum swung, the eyes moved up and down. Other ones with moving eyes were a dog, lion, organ grinder, and Santa Claus. Some of these are valued at more than 1,000.00. The cases for animals like horses, dogs, birds, squirrels, and cats are predominantly metal.

Many expensive models were developed by the Ansonia Clock Co., such as a doll swinging on the pendulum. Another Ansonia clock named "Juniper #3" is a 30-hour,replica Rolex DateJust, time-only, with a four-inch dial, without a stand, and measures fifteen feet high. Be careful when purchasing any of these pendulum swingers for they have been reproduced.

Two wall clocks were developed in 1870 by F. Kroeber, in which he used the swinging function display. Both of them showed a child swinging to and fro on the pendulum rod. One of them is bronzed, while the other is of pot metal and walnut. Electric novelty clocks often showing children swinging on pendulums were produced by Mastercrafts.

In 1860, Seth Thomas, Plymouth Hollow, and G.K. Proctor & Co. got together and patented a burglar and fire-detection alarm clock. The lamp would light up when the alarm sounded. The rosewood case was eleven and a quarter inches high.

Seth Thomas, Waterbury, and the Chelsea Clock Co. made ship's bell clocks. It has a metal case with a bell beneath and struck ship's bells rather than the hours. The Yale Clock Co. manufactured two rectangular tilted clocks on a shared base to help chess players time their moves.

In the 1900's a slot machine clock with an attractive black wooden case was produced for those who like to play the slot machines.

A Hickory-Dickory-Dock clock shows a white mouse running up the clock. New Haven Clock Co. produced five models of the mouse clock. Two ferris wheel clocks were souvenirs of the 1900 Paris Exposition. As the clock runs, the ferris wheel turns.

Manufacturers kept cost to a minimum. They used synthetic marble and compressed molded wood. These novelty wall clocks ranged from $55.00 to $1,000.00.

Online Florist

,replica vacheron

All of us derive amazing pleasure when we walk into flower shops which are places that are completely filled with various kinds of flowers of different colors and textures. The professional form of flower trade is referred to as Floristry and this professional environment includes various categories of work such as flower care and handling, floral arrangements, floral designing, merchandising and flower delivery.

Wholesalers and retail florists are also available in this trade and each of them has their own area of operation. Florists are tradesmen who are responsible for arranging flowers in suitable fashion and design and then sell it to the clients.

Not all of us are born with the art of arranging flowers although we all can learn the tricks of the trade from the professionals. Flowers have to be arranged in a neat, elegant and ravishing fashion which is when the true beauty of these delicate structures truly comes out. Florists are particularly experienced in this sector and have the idea of arranging the flowers in the best way possible and they also know which flowers go with each other so that the flowers do not look unassembled.

Many of the online resources are overcrowded with national marketers and wire services rather than the real local florists you're seeking. Some companies have built hundreds or even thousands of web pages referencing various cities across the country just to show up in so-called "local" searches across the country. Others are simply paying to be on top.

As for your friend who chose Floral Site Y, who wasn't able to change his gift once selected, who became confused through the checkout process and then found out his debit card was of no use - well, let's just say you'll be returning to Floral Site X for a sympathy arrangement. Ask friends, relatives, co-workers about their preferred and recommended florists. They might even have their personal tips for picking the best florist that they could share with you. Look at their albums for photos of flower arrangements done by their favored florists.

The moment you walked in the shop the florist should have asked questions about your needs. You could ask to look at the florist's portfolio of past work and question the florist about ideas in respect to your needs and preference and of course, budget.

Floral designing is a very unique and respected art form and florists use this art to decorate flowers in baskets, vases, bowls and certain special containers. In the recent years, the area of floristry has undergone marked development and there are a number of florists which have become prominent members in the flower department. Most of the renowned florists have their branches in all the major cities so that it is easier to reach customers throughout the country.

Gifting flowers was considered as a costly affair a couple of years ago but with the advent of several florists, each of us is able to gift each other the magic and happiness of flowers.

Antiquated Duct Systems Can Be Maintained and Cleaned

You are the new facilities manager for a large organisation operating from a number of antiquated buildings.

An appraisal has shown that the duct systems were installed in some of them many years ago, that access is difficult and that the systems will not be straightforward to maintain.

However, it's part of your role to ensure a high level of hygiene and air quality in the buildings, not only for the employees who work in them, but also for the members of the public who use it, to both of whom your organisation has a duty of care.

In addition any cleaning cannot be allowed to disrupt operations in a busy environment.

Funds are in short supply and replacing antiquated systems is too expensive so is there any way you can improve the situation?

With help from an experienced, professional duct cleaning service you can do a vaiety of things. First is to have the system thoroughly appraised to find out how dirty it is and then look at affordable ways of improving access to clean them. You will then be in a better position to set up a regular schedule of inspection,replica Rolex Oyster, maintenance and cleaning.

The UK's HVCA (Heating and Ventilation Contractors Association) has a number of guidance publications that may help and it's a good idea to check whether any company you are considering using is a member and follows its best practice guidance.

Often the problem with old duct systems is the access to see inside the ducts to assess how dirty they really are.

The HVCA's paper TM26 contains useful guidance for this particular situation: Hygiene Maintenance of Office Ductwork. The publication gives guidance to managers of buildings with air conditioning or other forms of mechanical ventilation, on issues of assessing and maintaining the microbiological cleanliness of duct systems.

The Association recommends that systems should be tested regularly at intervals not exceeding 12 months.

In its publication TR19 section 7: it advises that deposits within systems pose hygiene, odour, vermin and mechanical efficiency hazards. Poorly designed and installed or damaged ductwork can leak grease, thus extending the fire risk, hygiene, odour and vermin hazards.

It advises that ideally access panels should be suitable for the purpose for which they are intended. The panels and frames should be constructed of the same material as the ductwork. As a minimum they should incorporate quick release catches, sealing gaskets and thermal, acoustic and fire rated insulation properties equal to that of the duct to which they are fitted.

They should be as large as the duct size permits without weakening the structure of the system. Openings should not be obstructed by other building services, stored equipment or by the fabric of the building. The panel and aperture should be free of any sharp edges.

The frequency of duct cleaning suggested by the specialist cleaning company on initial inspectiion can be altered if subsequent pre-clean testing shows whether the initial schedule is correct or needs amending.

Duct cleaning improves the safety and efficiency of an installation. As vents become filled with debris, the duct system has to work harder. This increases energy consumption and can also cause fires in the duct system so the advantage of putting in place a regular maintenance, inspection and cleaning regime could also result in a reduced energy bill as well as a healthier, safer environment.

Three Ways To Build, Promote and Profit More From Your Website

Are you happy with your website?

Does it generate as much business as you'd like it to?

Does it generate enough leads?

As you're reading this article, I'm guessing that business could be better. Well, if you want to build, promote and profit more from your website here are three vital considerations that will help you do so:

1. Make sure your website has a 'most wanted response'

2. Promote your website continually

3. Build trust in you and your website.

Let's see how we go about putting those considerations into action.

1. Make Sure Your Website Has a Most Wanted Response

A 'most wanted response' is simply another way of describing the main purpose of your website.

So, if your site sells goods, then which items do you most want to sell? If you run a content site, supported by affiliate programs, then which affiliate programs do you most want to promote? If your site sells some kind of subscription (or membership) service, then do you make it easy for people to subscribe from any page on your website?

In other words, what is the 'point' of your website.

Once you fully understand what you want your website to 'do' then simply design or redesign it with that purpose in mind.

2. Promote Your Website Continually...

It is important to promote your website and to continue doing so. Don't bother trying out hundreds of promotion strategies,Fake rolex, as most of them are ineffective and you'll only dilute your efforts. Instead, concentrate on important website promotion strategies and do a few of them well.

Here are a few strategies to get you started:

- Get listed on the major search engines and directories. These include Google, Yahoo! and MSN and important directories can be found at StrongestLinks.com

- Get involved with article marketing. It's a long-term strategy that really does help promote your websites and your own expertise. EzineArticles.com is a great place to start with both learning about writing articles and learning how to promote them

- Understand the who, when and why when it comes to your site visitors. Track their movements. Know your visitor. Know which search terms bring visitors to your site, and which pages they leave from

- Build incoming links to your site. You could start with swapping links, but it would be better to write articles (see above) or for you to try and get your links on so-called Web 2.0 websites (this is known as social media optimization)

- Advertise on pay per click search engines like Google Adwords

- Continue to create (and promote) new content. Blogging is a great means of doing this.

3. Build Trust in You and Your Website

So, you want to sell online?

Well it isn't that easy I'm afraid.

One of the first things you must do online is to get people to trust you and your online business. And with thousands upon thousands of websites available and constant fear of internet fraud, it often takes time. There are, however, a variety of methods of building trust. I'll cover two methods here:

- Offer invaluable and relevant information, free, via repeat contact if at all possible. (This is sometimes known as follow-up marketing.) In other words, offer a free ebook, email course or report to your site visitors - show them what you know!

- Write a well-informed blog. Not only do you satisfy the need of creating new and timely content, you also get a chance to show off your expertise.

--

Doing business online is not rocket science. Simply know the main purpose of your website and effect that purpose; continually promote your website; and make sure your site visitors start to trust you. Do these three things correctly and soon you will be doing *more* business online.

Why Subscription Websites Are Making a Return-

Many of you would be surprised to know that in the present market scenario subscription websites are seeing a return. This is, in a market, which is still reeling from the blows inflicted to it, by the stock market and economic slide along with the dot-com collapse.

More and more people are turning towards these subscription websites. Some are opening new ones while others are looking to revamp the old ones. All aimed at attracting the client, who is now sophisticated and quality conscious.

This fact has also been attested by a research done by, Jupiter Media Metrix, a research firm. According to them, as compared to last year, people this year are spending more time on the web. For example, in U.S. on an average, people are spending as much as 2 hours more. However, this does not mean that they are visiting more number of sites, in fact they are only visiting a few selected sites.

This trend has also been noticed by, a New York Times writer Amy Harmon. "Often,replicas watches, Internet users generally stick to half a dozen sites for news, sports scores, airline tickets and other things they need regularly."

Most of this online traffic is being generated on subscription websites. You can gauge this from the fact that many a subscription websites are continuing to profit in such troubled times, as well. However, there are also some big ones like Salon and Feed, which have closed shop. Nonetheless, you need to make attempts to reap the benefits of this trend towards subscription websites. Here are a few pointers to hep you:

1. Get Popular - Firstly, try to make your website popular among the people. For this, you can circulate a free article or report on a topic, which is similar to your website content. Take care that your report is unbiased and does not look like a promotional piece. Give an unbiased view and include your website as a relevant link to the topic. You can also include other links to make it more genuine. This report could be in any format be it text, PDF or html etc. Make sure that your report can be distributed, freely. Also, take care to include a catchy phrase in it, which allows you to easily, trace it. Try to limit the page count to 4 pages. Otherwise, many people may not get around to reading it, completely.

2. Include Freebies - It would be a good idea to include some freebies on your site, which people can't ignore. These freebies could be anything such as a free newsletter, tutorial, article, gift, feature, consultation, advice, training, resources etc. Once people get used to these freebies you can cleverly ask them to become subscribers at various stages. Everyone can adapt this to suit the needs of your subscription website.

3. Give Free Access - Before you make people subscribe to your site, it is very important to make them realize what they will miss if they do not subscribe to your site. To do this, you can allow people to have restricted access to your site and content. Initially give them access, at free of cost, as an appetizer and later turn them into subscribers. This way, people will have an idea about the usefulness of your content. Don't forget with more and more websites going out of business, people are on a constant lookout for new resources for their requirements.

What Exactly Is Web 2.0- An Introduction

When the internet first launched in 1969, it was a far different beast from that which its users know it as today. As opposed to the huge information resource center that it now is, the web from that was created almost forty years ago was part of an American program for space research called ARPA, or Advanced Research Projects Agency. When NASA was formed, ARPA moved away from space and air flight and concentrated on computers.

As part of their research, a framework to connect all their computers was established, called ARPAnet, and thus the internet was born. Jump forward thirteen years, and a whole host of web servers are now live. Not only does this cause problems trying to connect all the different time zones and languages, it leads to conflicting hardware, meaning some computers simply refuse to talk to each other. Therefore,replicas rolex, a standard had to be agreed. This happened in 1982, when TCP/IP became the standard communication tool. Standing for Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, it's the universal language worldwide for the internet and has been for the last twenty years plus.

Now, however, the internet is changing. Whereas before you might look up information on a new album or film, the explosion in popularity of digital downloading for these very same media formats mean that the information is in physical form as opposed to someone just writing about it. Social networking is the new buzzword - from MySpace to Facebook and beyond, the internet is THE place to catch up with old friends, let everyone know what you're doing, share your music with a potential audience of billions - the potential is endless. And this is where the new Web 2.0 comes in.

More an evolution than revolution, Web 2.0 is not being touted as a complete replacement for the existing internet features; it's more an extensive upgrade. Allowing users to communicate better with each other, Web 2.0 is seen as the next logical step in the internet, and allows far more user participation than just looking at web pages. Now you can link all your social network sites like Facebook and MySpace, and use them to promote your own music, ideas or products.

Web 2.0 is looking to strengthen the power that the normal, everyday web surfer has at their fingertips. Instead of just big business and corporate companies having access to the latest technology and resources, sites like eBay, craigslist, Skype and AdSense, to name just a few, are letting anybody and everybody use the power and ease of use of the internet to get any message they want across, or to buy and sell goods, or have a voice conversation between two computers. This is the true beauty of Web 2.0, and one of many reasons that people are getting excited.

The Rich Pom Business Scam

,replica rolex

The Rich Pom has been promising us the world for weeks now. Advertising on high profile high
rating TV and Radio programs.

Like you I shun these foolish notions of making money on the internet but
when you get a pommy git plugging away in your ear on prime time radio you start
to take note.

I visited the Rich Pom website with great trepidation thinking before getting there this
guy was just like all the rest. Wow was I right! His website was promising me
the world! So why did I fall for it? I'll tell you why - I know for a fact as a
business owner myself that this guy had to be making the money he says - how
could he afford such expensive advertising for starters?

I parted with my hard earned dosh to find out how the Rich Pom is making his money and to see if I could get a slice of the action.

I have been doing this for exactly 6 weeks now - made my money back I paid
for the information and now make money every single day. No I am not able to use
this as my prime income source - I never would expect that and nor should you.
But, I followed the rich pom information to the letter - one step at a time -
this bloke knows what he is doing and there is no reason why I should not
continue to make more and more money every week. So what I am saying is don't discount everything as a scam it may just be legit.

Why You Are Failing As an Internet Marketer

I spent two years failing as an Internet Marketer before I figured out what I was doing wrong. I'm writing this article to try and help out those making the same mistakes I did.

Write/Buy Quality Content - Daily

You hear it everywhere you go. Content is king. This will never change on the Internet. For every piece of information you publish on a content site or on your own blog, you are making your future more promising. Don't simply write for quantity, but for quality. If the content you publish is truly valuable,replica rolex, you'll receive more links, more advertising, and more potential than you'll know what to do with.

Prioritize Your Tasks Based On Monetary Value

Some of your tasks are simply not worth your time. If you are spending two hours a day voting on social bookmarking sites, and you've never tracked that time to a lead or a sale then you are WASTING YOUR TIME. Think about what activities directly bring you in more leads or sales, and then concentrate your time on those items. If you put yourself on a schedule to complete these tangible, valuable, tasks then you'll find yourself becoming an internet expert quite quickly.

Only Promote Strong Opportunities

It took me a long to realize that many of the opportunities I was promoting were a waste of time. I can't sell juice on the internet, and I can't sell an e-book. Why? Because, there is WAY too much competition and it's just not worth my time. Wondering what you should sell? I would highly recommend selling anything new, exciting, and informative. Hundreds of new opportunities promote themselves everyday, and if you can be ahead of the curve it will do wonders for your sales. The search engines LOVE the very first items published on a particular subject, so you need to capitalize on that. Free traffic is all around us, which means lots of money-making potential.

Antiquorum Rolex

This auction gathered a great number of Rolex Sports watches. Frankly speaking, to any professional media, the report of any auction with a special subject of a brand should not be too long, but only two brands are in exception.(Excuse me for not writing them down here, actually most professionals and readers with profound insights all know how these two brands impact on the three largest auctions )This auction was pre-exhibited in several large cities such as Beijing, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Genevese, I also went to the head office of Antiquorum Auction House twice to watch these treasures in auction. It was a very big and rare auction from Mr. Osvaldo after he resigned the chairman of Antiquorum, and even parts of the treasures can compare with items in the famous Rolex Auction of Mr. Mondani. Most of the 270 auction items were closed a bargain and the purchase price figured out at 8,515,260 US dollars. And it created a new record for several brands, in which the display was very magnificent and the competition was quite furious.

Now, let's review parts of the deals with short articles.

Rolex Oyster kit

Estimated Price: 10,000USD^15,000USD

Purchase Price: 28,000USD

Made in 1980's. It contains a whole set of Rolex Oyster stainless steel watch cases and spare parts. Model number: 16000. The size of box: 38*21*5.5mm. Perfectly preserved.

Review: for the first 65 auction items, they are not real watches, but some attachments to watch, such as display stand, pen, mirror, box for watch, writing case, cutter knife, ashtray, notebook and cufflink. But from the achievement of the auction, they were all closed a bargain with high price, even they were not valuable at all before (at that time) and were considered as souvenirs by civilians. You cannot deny that it is a successful symbol for this brand in collection world. This item was a set box specially for displaying the production of Oyster watch early from the factory, and you can see that how these two important steels were used to made into famous Oyster watch case from rough parts. In addition, it also attaches oysterlock watch head, the structure and production process of sapphire watch mirror. Since it is not open sale and with great research value, so the purchase price (including commission) is high to 28,800 USD.

From my point of view, in the first 65 auction items, No.21 (display holder for automatic winding movement in 1930's, attaching automatic movement, purchase price of which is 12,000USD), No.24 (pocket watch from 1950's, purchase price (including commission) of which is 10,800USD), No.59 (automatic movement from 1970's, purchase price of which is 8,400USD), and No.62 (several inner products from the factory, the purchase price of which is 9,600USD) are with high collection value.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea-Dweller "Space-Dweller"

Estimated price: 20,000USD^30,000USD

Purchase price: 48,000USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Model number: 1016. Made in 1963. Good appearance and quite rare. Automatic winding movement and central second hand.

The common 1016 is popular in the market and it only takes a few dozen thousand Yuan. But for this one, although you cannot see how special it is from the inside to outside, it is with an extra phrase on the watch dial: Space-Dweller. This 1016, which was made in 1963, is the special belonging for the astronaut of the first manned space station in USA. As far as the watch is concerned, it is only with an extra phrase, but from collection point of view, it is a big difference. The purchase price (including commission) of this auction item is high to 48,000USD, which creates a small record for this model. Always, the collection value is only different in small things.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date GMT-Master with transparent back

Estimated price: 20,000USD^30,000USD

Purchase price: 125,500USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Model number: 1675. Made in 1960's. Good appearance and quite rare, automatic winding movement, dual time, central second hand, with calendars, special made transparent back, special 24hour index and hand. With official certificate of The Swiss Official Chronometer Control, a book named "The story of Time", after sales certificate of Rolex as complimentary gifts.

This is not a common GMT, otherwise it is only worth a few dozen thousand Yuan. This GMT is a custom product which Professor Hugh G. Wales of University of South Africa ordered from Rolex on 7th of March, 1962. It is not only custom-made but also with transparent back which is quite rare in the history of Rolex. Of all the Rolex products, apart from two oysters with manual winding movement and transparent back in 1940's, this is the third transparent product recognized by the factory. Maybe at that time, Rolex was not so missish and could accept such special custom-made products. The more precious thing for this GMT is that the letters between the factory at that time and the professor are being kept, telling the cause and effect of this custom-made product, so it is called Rolex with stories. The purchase price also reflects the popularity of this treasure. I think although it is furious, but not enough. If it is on auction again several years later, the price maybe several times higher.

Tudor Oyster Calendar Chronograph

Estimated price: 10,000USD^15,000USD

Purchase price: 48,000USD

Model Number: 7031/0. The watch case was made by Rolex in 1971, sold on 10th of July, 1972. Good appearance. With calendars. Round timing button, Speed Measurement. With original box, production certificate and sales record.

Tudor of 7031 has not been easy to find in recent years. This one was made in 1970's, with the design style and color at that time: vigorous, practical, and young. Nowadays, this style has been popularized into all over sports and non-sports editions. We have to say that Rolex is one of the few top brands which are beyond times in this field. This auction item is in good condition, and also keeps the outside package and sales record. But it is really unexpected that the purchase price could reach 48,000USD. Tudor, is not considered as a side brand of Rolex any more.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Milgauss with black dial

Estimated price: 70,000USD^100,000USD

Purchase price: 190,400USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Model Number: 6541. Made in 1958. Good appearance and quite rare, automatic winding movement, flashing central hand, Cellular texture dial.

6541 is the famous and earliest Milgauss. At the time around 1954, famous brands such as IWC, Omega, Rolex produced their own famous antimagnetic watches successively. This famous one with flashing hand was made in 1958. The figure design at that time followed the famous submariner, but some details were different such as words in the outside circle and hands. But the real difference is the inner structure: the integrated antimagnetic soft steel wraps the movement just like a steel box, functioning as pilot and magnetic screen. This auction is in a very good condition; particularly the case shape and hinge lug still keep the polish just as when they were made. It is quite rare and popular. The purchase price (including commission) is nearly 200,000USD, which ranks No.4 in all purchase prices. Is it a high price? Not at all! If I have enough money, I will go to compete with others (since it is a competition, you need to pay more than normal). After all, the number of it is so limited and it is just like the rare "green sapphire".

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Submariner Military

Estimated price: 100,000USD^150,000USD

Purchase price: 166,800USD

Model number: 5513. Made in 1973. Sold to UK Military in 1975. The UK Military code was carved at the bottom. Good appearance and quite rare, automatic winding movement, central second hand, water resistant to 200m. With Rolex and UK Military certificate.

Military 5513 is the typical and classical military submariner edition. The most differences from the common style are the special hands and the UK military watch bezel on the case. Springs between Hinge lugs are also different from the takedown structure of common style, and they are unmovable for robustness and can only match canvas military belt. Military submariner collectors have to know this detail. This auction item is in good condition. The light it releases at night is with ancient flavor. The purchase price is so amazing, which is 166800USD including commission.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Submariner "Panama Canal"

Estimated price: 10,000USD^15,000USD

Purchase price: 90,000USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Code: 31/75, model number: 16610. One of the 75 pieces for the limited edition, made in 1999. Good appearance and quite rare, automatic winding movement, central second hand. With original certificate and box.

The common 16610 is about 30 thousand Yuan in the second hand market (certainly it is only RMB but not USD).but this one is the limited edition and was custom-made in 1999 for USA. The pattern printed on the case by factory is where it is valuable. It is recoded that only 75 pieces were made for this edition, and this auction item is No.31. From my point of view, it is meaningless to limit the number, and it is extremely crazy that the purchase price is 90,000USD. This edition is embodied on page 199 of "1908-2008, 100 Years of Rolex".

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea-Dweller "Comex"

Estimated price: 100,000USD^150,000USD

Purchase price: 248,800USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Model Number: 1665. Made in 1979. Good appearance and quite rare. Automatic winding movement, central second hand, water resistant to 610m. With original certificate, box and original Comex manometer.

From 1977 to 1982, there were about 300 sea-dwellers of 1665 being delivered to COMEX. So this famous company of submersible work also became the talent for Rolex Sea-Dweller. Of the first 100 which were delivered from 1977, the water resistance mark on the dial is 600m. Such dials are usually called as PISANI by the collectors. On the COMEX dial, the locations of each word and even the capitalization of letters L,C are distinguishable by rare edition and common edition. The attachments of this auction item are complete, and even include the rare COMEX manometer. When making the highest purchase price of nearly 250,000 in this auction, the research work of each edition of Sea-Dweller is also beginning on the media.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea-Dweller Submariner with no Helium Escape Valve and Double Red Words

Estimated price: 110,000USD^130,000USD

Purchase price: 237,600USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Model Number: 1665. Made in 1967. Good appearance and rare, automatic winding movement, central second hand, water resistant to 610m. With a sea-Dweller logo of double red words.

1665 of no helium escape valve and double red words was sold at nearly 240,000USD. It seems to be unreasonable, because only several months ago, it was only worth a small percentage of that price. But it seems to tell us something, after all, the vote is the truth. I don't know why either, so please tell me if you have any idea.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea-Dweller Submariner 2000 Double Red Words Mark I

Estimated price: 150,000USD^200,000USD

Purchase price: 237,600USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Model Number: 1665. Made in 1967. Good appearance and rare, automatic winding movement, central second hand, water resistant to 610m. With a Sea-Dweller logo of double red words. With original certificate, box and certificate of The Swiss Official Chronometer Control.

I have several books to do with Rolex submariner edition. To be short, this thing only pursues "rare". Why it is rare? Only different in the words on the dial. It can create several hundred thousand USD different only with different fonts and colors. This "Double Red" (DRSD) which was made in 1967 and the red words were actually powder made. The price of most rare Rolex sports watches is hard to estimate. You can only see what the result tells you.

Rolex Oyster Daytona Gold "Paul Newman"

Estimated price: 80,000USD^120,000USD

Purchase price: 166,800USD

Model Number: 6265. Made in about 1979. Good appearance and rare, with timing, with speed measurement on the golden watch bezel. With original certificate and box.

The price of nearly brand new golden Paul Newman has gone up a lot in the recent years, and it is standard Rolex collection of high price. But when thinking back (actually it was not long ago when it was sometime between the end of 1980's and the beginning of 1990's), its price used to drop several times, and the huge drop gave scalpers a downright disappointment. Actually at that time, even Patek Philippe and Rolex had a hard time, let alone those second line brands in other auctions. This auction item is nearly brand new and the purchase price including commission is nearly as twice as the estimated price. From today's market, this is also a crazy price.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date "Jean-Claude Killy"

Estimated price: 80,000USD^120,000USD

Purchase price: 155,000USD

Model Number: 6236. Made in 1958. Good appearance and rare, ohm shape watch case, round timing button, with calendars. With original box.

Jean-Claude Killy is less famous than Paul Newman, but at least it is something more complex than Paul Newman. And it is almost a "very complex edition" of Rolex if plus the moon phase. The price of this model has also gone up a lot these years. After all, it is the very complex and rare Rolex sports watch. Since it has satisfied the sellers and buyers, plus its good appearance, it is quite normal that the purchase price (including commission) is 150,000USD.

Rolex Daytona

Estimated price: 60,000USD^90,000USD

Purchase price: 143,200USD

Retailed by Cartier, Model Number: 6239. Made in early 1960's. Good appearance and rare. Round timing button, with speed measurement in the watch bezel.

Another expensive item, and the reason is quite simple, because it is with "Cartier" on the face. I neither had a chance nor watched the hinge lug to see if there were sales serial numbers on the back. Maybe you can find the pictures on the website of TIMEZONE. Here I have to mention that the internet has been so prevalent these two years, and as a column of excellent TIMEZONE and this auction house, the picture provision of auction details are so popular. Since clear pictures of all angles including movement can be available over internet, so you can watch them very carefully which may not be available even if by the auction or being there personally.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date -The First Generation

Estimated price: 15,000USD^20,000USD

Purchase price: 24,000USD

Certified by The Swiss Offical Chronometer Control. Model number: 6511. Made in 1956. Good appearance and rare. Ohm shape watch case. Automatic winding movement. Central second hand. With calendars.

This beautiful and nice early Day-Date edition was bought by a BBS friend of a Chinese famous watch shop. He seemed to be very proud. After all, comparing with modern design, the dial is much more beautiful with red words and red and black date. I watched it carefully from inside to outside, and it is really "once in a blue moon". 24,000USD is not an expensive price.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day-Date White Gold

Estimated price: 9,000USD^14,000USD

Purchase price: 14,400USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Code: 1803, made at the end of 1950's. Good appearance and rare, automatic winding movement, ohm shape case and with calendars.

I used to argue with Teacher Xu from Guangzhou about what kinds of hands could go with such markers. I insisted that such sharp arrow hand was the original design and it could match well. But Teacher Xu said that noodle shape hand was used to match those markers, and from the early operation guide of auction matches, we could see that there was a noodle shape hand match which was really inconsistent, but I still stuck to my own view. That was not the original idea of early design (changing the details of the original design according to the current stock when production is going on is quite common). This early one with white gold day-date hand is really in a good match and very consistent. You cannot change beauty, and not giving up pursuing is to stick to the principle. But this watch is not in a good condition, so it is a little expensive to cost more than ten thousand USD.

Tudor Oyster Prince Submariner with square crown guards

Estimated price: 10,000USD^115,000USD

Purchase price: 40,800USD

Model Number: 7928. Made in 1959. The case was made by Rolex, and the code is 7928. Good appearance and rare, automatic winding movement, central second hand.

This one is the famous Tudor with square crown guards. Made in 1959, which is the early Tudor oyster prince. And the head is quite different from the traditional ones, and only with this, the price is a big difference. The estimated price is only something more than ten thousand USD, but the purchase price is 40,800USD. Going back to the second line brands, maybe you can find some spare parts to this treasure.
