Create Your Newsletter in Phases!

08.21.10

Copyright (c) 2008 Audrey Burton

Do you ever get overwhelmed thinking about starting an email newsletter? You don’t even know where to start, so you never do?

It is not as difficult as it seems. The trick is to break the big project into several smaller phases. Here are the smaller phases to consider:

Phase number 1: Education

Phase number 2: Research and Planning

Phase number 3: Implementation

If you think about doing all of this at once, you will have a difficult time focusing, so just concentrate on one phase at a time. For education, you can read fr’ee articles, ebooks and websites, and take fr’ee teleclasses. You can do all of this without leaving your computer.

One area you will want to learn a lot about is different options for content. Before you begin and throughout the process, every time you start to feel stressed, tell yourself that you do not want to put all kinds of content in your newsletter! It will be way too long if you try.

Here are some options for content you should investigate:
- articles, around 500 words or less and do not have to be written by you
- top 5 or top 10 lists, 3 Keys, etc.
- advice column (Dear Coach,…)
- book reviews
- interviews of experts
- resources you recommend, like websites, information products or services
- before and afters, could be pictures of your work
- monthly or weekly promotions or specials
- recipes, only if applicable to your business
- case studies, your clients’ or others’ clients

Of course, there are many other options for content, but these are all fairly popular. During your education project, just learn about everything without judgment. You will make your decisions later. However, you should begin thinking about how you feel about the different options. Are there any that you are excited about?

NOTE: If you write your own articles, be sure to write them in such a way that you could use them for other purposes, like posting on article databases to promote your business, or packaging together into products later.

You also need to learn about the technical aspects of doing an email newsletter (by the way, also referred to as an ezine). If you jump in and begin sending out your newsletter without understanding the options for sending and the spam rules, you could hurt your reputation on the web.

You will want to learn about single vs. double opt-in, unsubscribe and other CANN SPAM rules. For example, did you know you are required to have an actual address in every mass email you send?

If you are not following the rules, more and more people will report you as a spammer, even if you are not. This can get you on a blacklist, and it can be difficult to get off the lists with all the ISPs and spam blockers.

Research comes next. I recommend you sign up for a few newsletters published by your competition (only the successful ones) and a few marketing experts, to see the content and execution in action.

You can also see how they are sending out their newsletters. I highly recommend against sending it out yourself. You should use a service, and I do recommend double opt-in, especially if you plan to grow your list over time. See who the experts use, then research who is best and who fits with your goals.

Expect the execution phase to take longer than you expect! Once you have signed up for a service, give yourself time to go through the tutorials and training materials offered by the service, then it will take awhile to put together your first one.

Be patient with yourself. It takes time to get the hang of this. It is really like completing 3 projects, so give yourself enough time and space to learn and research. The email newsletter is one of the best ways to keep in touch with your prospects and clients for very little investment.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Why You Should Go

08.16.10

Lymphatic drainage massage was developed in 1932 by Danish physiotherapist Emil Vodder and his wife Estrid. They first created this technique in order to help people to reduce swelling in their necks and extremities due to improper circulation of the lymph. At this time, Dr. Vodder, was working in Cannes France where he was treating a patient with chronic sinusitis and acne using his technique.

He was so impressed with the results that he wrote a book on how to treat the entire body with manual lymphatic draining. It was only in the 1960’s that his technique got scientific credibility, after German Dr. J. Askonk tested manual lymphatic draining on 20 000 patients to discover it’ s benefits and contra-indications. Today, lymphatic draining is known as one of the best cleaning out the body, boosting the immune system and encouraging cell regeneration.


What to Expect During and After a Treatment

Lymphatic draining is very soft and gentle massage. The therapist uses light pressure in order to move the skin. The movements are rhythmic and the hands will act as a pump in order to move the lymph toward the lymph nodes where all the anti-bodies can be processed. A treatment can be as short as 45 minutes and as long as 2 hours depending on the recommendation and school of thought.

After a treatment you may feel extremely tired and have no energy. This is because after the treatment your body is still working hard at cleaning itself. You could feel like this for a few days or up to 2 weeks depending on how much your body needed to be cleaned out. However, once this step is over you should have more energy than before the treatment. It is very important to drink lot’s of water after a treatment to aid the flushing process.


Reasons to go for Lymphatic Draining

Detoxifying: Lymphatic draining rids the body of all the “garbage” that we can stock in it and can be very beneficial for those doing a detox program. It’s also good for helping us to lose weight or getting rid of cellulite.

Immune Boost: Lymphatic draining is good for making our immune systems stronger. If you are always sick with colds, flues or infections like a urinary tract infection it would be a good treatment for you. It can also help allergy sufferers and ease their symptoms. I recommend that you have a these treatments before the cold and allergy season in order to make your lymphatic system stronger and possibly avoid these problems.

Cell Regeneration: Working on the lymphatic system helps our cells to regenerate. So if you are scarred in any way or had a surgery it is very effective for re-building tissue.

Cancer: Lymphatic draining is good for cancer because it can reduce the lymphoedema they might have. The therapist will work on the swollen areas in order to move the liquids that are trapped in certain areas. It is important that patient have the approval of their doctor and that the therapist they choose is properly trained for this. In this treatment the therapist might add bandaging treatment to prevent the lymph from coming back.

It is recommended to go for lymphatic draining every season to stay healthy, and more often if you want to work on a specific problem.Think of it as a spring cleaning of the body done at least twice a year and how it feels good to get rid of the “garbage” we store away.

Upgraded from 50D to 5Dmkii

I was scared to spend the money but when i received the camera i was pretty sure i had made the right decision. The menu system is very similar to the 50D so i was able to start making custom settings instantly. The ‘bulb’ setting is a welcome feature compared to the 50 and as is the 3 custom settings instead of 2. Image quality is awesome along with the full frame sensor to bring out the best of my L series lenses. Take the time to sign on to the canon registration since you get extra perks as a 5D owner.

LOVE THIS CAMERA. IS EVERYTHING I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND MUCH MORE. MY IMAGES ARE SPECTACULAR EVERYWHERE I GO, AND IT IS SO EASY AFTER HAVING MY “BEGINNING TRAINING” IN A CANON REBEL XTI WHICH I GOT YEARS AGO. 4105 LENS IS AWESOME.

IF YOU DO ORDER A CAMERA FROM AMAZON AND THEY GIVE YOU A LIST OF ACCESSORIES, BE CERTAIN THEY FIT THE SIZE OF YOUR LENS. I BOUGHT A LENS THAT WAS OE THE LIST AND IT WAS WRONG SIZE DUE TO MY IGNORANCE AND SPPED OF ORDERING. I HAD ORDERED A 7 D FROM ANOTHER CAMERA DISTRIBUTOR AND SENT IT BACK AFTER 2 DAYS. AND ORDERED THIS ONE FROM AMAZON BECAUSE THEY WERE SO SPEEDY AND I HAD TO LEAVE ON TRIP IN TWO DAYS. 

SO HAD GREAT PHOTO TRIP OVER 2400 PHOTOS IN 3 WEEKS EVEN WITHOUT MY UV FILTER.

I love my EOS 5D Mark II

This is a great camera. The buttons can be a bit confusing, but I’m just getting use to them. The camera feels good in my hands – solid, substantial. The LCD on the back of the camera is large, bright, and clear. The various menus make life easier. I highly recommend this product. I’ve been using a Canon T90 film SLR since 1986 and if the 5D Mark II performs half as well I’ll be delighted.

Nikon Guy forced to go to Canon for resolution

I’m doing a large scale documentation project photographing objects on a copy stand. Was pretty sure I was going to use Nikon bodies as thats what I’m familiar with. I tested several bodies and it came down to a 5d MkII or a D3. I’vee never been a pixel peeper but it was clear that that the added resolution with the 5D made a big difference and it was too ignore. Also it comes with the software you need to tether the camera which is nice. My biggest complaint is the ergonomics, big and clunky. Luckily I don’t have to handle too much, because I definitely think Nikons are better in this regard. Also Canon’s RAW format is less proprietary than Nikon’s which does make a big difference to me.
