INSERT INTO [articles] VALUES (1, 'Writing-and-Speaking', 'Copywriting', '11 Things You MUST Know Before Hiring a Copywriter!', '\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n<p>If you''re considering hiring copywriting help for your next brochure, Web site, or marketing project. Congratulations! You should get great results if you hire a pro to do it right.</p>\n\n<p>Many business owners and marketing professionals have valid concerns about letting an outsider develop their content. After all — it''s your business, you know it best, and your image is critical. However, you''re wrapped up in your business every day. A good copywriter can see your business in a new light, draw out the key benefits of your products and services, and communicate that excitement to your clients and prospects.</p>\n\n<p>Working with a writer isn''t a complicated ordeal, however it will benefit you tremendously to become familiar with how the relationship typically works and ways to help the process move along smoothly. So, here are my top 11 tips on how to choose and work with a copywriter:</p>\n\n\n<li><b>Understand your mission beforehand.</b><br><br>\n\nA crucial factor in streamlining the writing process is determining the principal points you need to communicate — *before* you bring in a writer. Who is your target audience? What is your message? What is unique about your company? In what type of tone do you want to speak to your reader? What type of response do you ideally want the reader to make? Having this information agreed upon before you get a writer involved will save you unnecessary copy revisions and keep your costs down.</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Develop a realistic schedule.</b><br><br>\n\nYes, you''ve heard this all your life, but haste makes waste. Avoid hastily hiring a copywriter and dumping a rush job on her. Not only will you not have time to thoroughly check her experience and references, but, no matter how wonderfully talented she is, her first draft will not be ''fully cooked.'' Most copywriters need time to let words and ideas simmer.<br><br>\n\nMost writers will request a few weeks to develop your copy, so set a realistic schedule to give the creative process ample time. Count on going through one or two revisions as your writer refines the piece''s angle and conveys the key benefits of what you''re promoting.</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Make sure the writer you hire has written for the medium you want.</b><br><br>\n\nLet''s say you need someone to re-energize the copy on your Web site. A freelancer who has only written magazine articles won''t likely have the skills to create content for a dynamic Web site. She''s probably not proficient at breaking-up copy into easily digestible bits, integrating hyperlinks that entice your users to take action, and keeping your end-user in mind to plan a friendly, easily-navigable site. She may be able to learn how, but you''ll be paying for her slow ramp-up speed. Take time instead to find the right person — it will save you many headaches down the road.</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Experience within your industry isn''t always necessary.</b><br><br>\n\n''So you''ve never written for a _______ company before?'' I''ve heard many prospects say. Don''t worry. A writer''s ability to write well for the medium is more important than her having prior experience in your industry.<br><br>\n\nMany writers are true generalists and write just as well for an edgy new media start-up as they do for a giant hospital network. They''re very proficient at diving into your business, learning it inside and out, and churning out great prose to entice your target market. Now of course, if you''re producing a technically oriented business-to-business Web site or marketing piece, you may want to hire a writer with experience in both your project''s medium and your industry. If you find a good one, hold on tightly. You''ve struck gold!</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Ask for references, and contact them.</b><br><br>\n\nAll writers can show you samples of well-written material, but how do you know if they''ll work to understand your communication needs, meet deadlines, and act professionally in front of clients? Any great copywriter should have an ample list of references that she can share with you. Be sure to contact at least two of them, and ask them about the writer''s weaknesses as well as her strengths.</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Keep in mind that you get what you pay for.</b><br><br>\n\nIt amazes me how businesspeople will drop thousands of dollars on Web or print design and hesitate to spend half as much on great copy. Pictures and design enhance your message, but jeez folks ...the writing IS your message!<br><br>\n\nGood copywriting does not come cheaply — you''ll find writers who charge anywhere from $50 - $150 per hour and up. You''ll pay more for an experienced writer, one with a particular specialty, or one who''s also a proficient editor. (Many writers are also great editors, but not all writers are editors, and vice versa.) </li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Work on more than a handshake.</b><br><br>\n\nTrue writing pros will give you an agreement they''ve drawn up for you. However, you''ll occasionally find yourself having to draft an agreement for the project. This doesn''t have to be complex — a simple letter that you both sign should do fine. Be sure to include the project size, number of revisions included, timetable, and agreed fee (this can be a flat fee or hourly rate).<br><br>\n\nAnd don''t forget to ask what''s *not* included. For example, many writers charge extra for in-person meetings, research time, and weekend or rush work. You should also expect to pay an upfront retainer. Most writers charge one-third to one-half of the total project fee upfront, and many won''t begin your project until they have the signed agreement and check in hand. And if you have sensitive or proprietary information, don''t hesitate to have your writer sign a non-disclosure agreement.</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Give your writer background info at the start.</b><br><br>\n\nI''ve often heard the story of a writer being hired for a large project, and the first thing she''s asked to do is come in and interview several principals of the company. After several days of interviews, the writer is then handed the company''s annual report, previous brochures, and marketing plan.<br><br>\n\nIf this background info had been given up front, the client could have saved hours of time and money! At the beginning of your project, pass on any and all previous brochures or sales kits, direct mail, Web site URLs, annual reports, research results, or business or marketing plans.</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Appoint one person as your project captain.</b><br><br>\n\nAppoint one person at your company as project captain. If you allow too many people in your organization to work with the writer directly, each of them will likely have a different opinion of the copy and request different edits from your writer. She may be forced to make many unnecessary revisions, adding time and cost to your project.<br><br>\n\nIf you need to involve multiple reviewers in the process, have your project captain handle the internal reviews and edits and decide which ones supercede others. Then give your writer one master copy that includes all edits to be made. Also, be sure to involve your final decision maker early on, be it your CEO or board of directors. This gives your writer clear direction and avoids costly revisions down the road.</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Give constructive criticism.</b><br><br>\n\nAlthough copywriters have egos of steel and are accustomed to criticism, make yours helpful for best results. ''This paragraph just doesn''t work'' isn''t as effective as ''What we need to do here is stress the benefits of the non-skid surface.'' Also, tell her what parts you *do* like, so she can emulate them elsewhere. And of course, everyone loves to know when they''ve done a good job. If you like her work, be sure to share that with her!</li><br><br>\n\n<li><b>Don''t discount chemistry.</b><br><br>\n\nYou need to feel comfortable with your writer in order to work effectively together. Take the time to find a great copywriter whom you truly like and develop a good working relationship together. You''ll get top-quality work that will help your business thrive. And you''ll have a skilled and knowledgeable copywriter on call for your next communications effort.</li>\n\n\n<p>(c) 2000-2003 Alexandria K. Brown.

INSERT INTO [articles] VALUES (2, 'Health-and-Fitness', 'Alternative', 'The Simplest Asthma Solution', '\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n<p>During the Democratic convention the Reverend Al Sharpton quoted a shocking statistic: One third of the children in Harlem suffer from asthma. This shouldn’t be completely surprising since asthma cases have been consistently increasing over the years, especially in the cities, escalating recently during the rollback of some key environmental laws, but it is a trend we must turn back.</p><p>While parents have only limited control over the environment\rwhere they raise their children, there is a personal environmental decision they can make that may dramatically reduce the symptoms their children experience. It all comes down to detergent, and not just any detergent. It is the detergent that they use to wash their children’s clothes and sheets. The biggest selling detergents in the United States contain large amounts of irritating phosphates, which are not only a major irritant to the skin and respiratory system, but a source of serious pollution, and a component in global warming.</p><p>If you are wondering if your laundry detergent contains phosphates just read the label, it is listed there. In most industrialized countries phosphate detergents are outlawed for good reason, but in the United States the chemical industry has a strong lobby and cheap phosphates help manufacturers keep their costs low, so their use continues.\rThe next time you walk though the laundry detergent section of your supermarket, take a deep breath and notice how much the smell irritates your nose and lungs.</p><p>What kinds of detergent contain low, or no phosphates? Baby detergent! No mother would dream of washing their newborn’s clothes and sheets in the family’s powdered detergent! That would give their baby’s delicate skin rashes, not to mention an increase in crying and crankiness. There are many readily available natural detergents that are phosphate-free and it’s worth the time to find them.</p><p>We have noticed tremendous improvements for both children and adults when their clothes and sheets are consistently washed in a phosphate-free detergent. By itself this change may not alleviate all of the symptoms of asthma and those related skin rashes, but it clearly removes an insidious irritant from\rthe equation.</p><p>It might be helpful to explain why this simple change is so effective. Testing in Europe shows that, while sleeping, people are between two thousand and ten thousand times more sensitive to chemical and electromagnetic pollution than while they are awake. When a child’s pajamas are washed with a chemical irritant and they sleep on bedclothes containing those same toxins, their immune system is challenged nightly, during a time when they are most vulnerable. Their body’s nutritional reserves are consumed in that battle and they are less able to defend themselves from the pollutants they encounter during their day. Asthma and allergies are not produced by a single irritant, but by an accumulation of minor irritants that eventually overwhelm the body’s ability to adapt. It is not a huge leap to imagine that removing a respiratory irritant from the sleeping environment, where a person spends one third of their time, is going to produce an improvement in a child’s ability to breathe.</p><p>Drs.

INSERT INTO [articles] VALUES (3, 'Computers-and-Technology', '', 'What Is Wardriving And How Can You Prevent It', '\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n<p>Imagine a car equipped with nothing more than a laptop computer, a portable GPS receiver, and a wireless network card slowly strolls through your neighborhood. Unknown to any onlookers, this is no ordinary vehicle; rather, it is a wardriving machine. As the car strolls past homes and businesses, a wireless network card (available at any electronics store for as low as $25) scans for any wireless access points. Anyone with a wireless network (and there are many out there) is vulnerable. The computer is looking for what is called an SSID. An SSID is your wireless network name and it is being constantly transmitted by your access point, letting computers know of its presence. The wardriver uses software such as Netstumbler (for windows) or Cismet (for linux) to scan the airwaves for SSIDs. The program can track various access points at once and monitor the signal strength. These programs can also check to see if the network is encrypted. The wardriver will generally configure his or her software to log any strong unencrypted signals. Using the GPS receiver, the coordinates of the strong signal will be recorded. After this preliminary drive, the wardriver can return to the locations that were recorded, and connect to the access point. Once connected to an unencrypted network, the wardriver can use the victim’s internet access, and can also explore computers on the network. If files are being shared within someone’s private network, all of that information is susceptible to a wardriver. Furthermore, once in the network, a wardriver can sniff network traffic and can view any information such as passwords and credit card numbers you send out to the internet – even SSL secured data. Wireless network vulnerability is a major problem, and as more and more households purchase wireless technology, the problem of insecure networks increases. Sound scary? Well this happens every day, and it doesn’t take an expert to pull off. It doesn’t take an expert to protect against either, however.</p><p>Steps you can take to protect against wardrivers:</p><p>There are a number of very simple steps you can take to protect your wireless network. For many of these, you will have to access your router configuration utility (check your manual on how to do this, you will generally need to type an IP address into your browser such as 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).</p><p>Don’t broadcast your SSID. If you are broadcasting your SSID, this is the first thing a program will pickup and recognize. If you configure your router to not broadcast your SSID, it will be difficult to detect (but not impossible, for some software can sniff wireless communication, so if you are using your wireless network, the SSID can be revealed). If you are not broadcasting your SSID, but it can be guessed (such as if you are using a default SSID), cloaking is pointless. Due to this, remember to change your SSID from the factory default. This is not a 100 percent effective method to secure your network, but it is a good first line of defense.</p><p>Change the default password. When you buy a router, a factory password is stored. People experienced in working with routers know the default passwords for different routers (and the make of the router can be seen by wardriver software such as netstumbler). It is important that you secure your router with a good password.</p><p>Encrypt your wireless communication. I can’t stress the importance of encrypting your wireless communication enough. Enable encryption and enter a key. Most routers are only capable of WEP encryption, but if they permit, use EAP encryption, it’s more secure than WEP. Like cloaking your SSID, encryption is not 100 percent secure. Given enough time and determination, if someone wants to target you and access your network, WEP encryption can be bypassed using software such as AirSnort.</p><p>Filter the MAC addresses that are allowed to connect to your router. This would require that you enter your router configuration and input the MAC address of each wireless card you have. This will restrict access so that only your computers can connect to the router. You will need to obtain the MAC address (which is the individual identification address of a network card in the form a 12 digit hexadecimal number). If someone sniffs traffic and detects the MAC address of a computer wirelessly using your network, the wardriver could emulate that address and connect to the router, but this takes time.</p><p>If you configure file sharing on your computers, make sure it is password protected. You should not share files on your networked computers unless it requires an authenticated user to access. Set up the same user accounts on your machines so that your computers can share files.</p><p>With these relatively simple steps, wireless network users can secure their networks from wardrivers. Wireless networks are inherently insecure, and these tips will merely help you greater secure your network. If someone is really determined to gain access to your network, given enough time, a good hacker can get access. These tips will deter the average wardriver from gaining access to your network, however. Although these methods are not definite security measures, they will change your network from being something that can be hacked in a matter of seconds, to something that will take a determined hacker days if not weeks of work, all of which will have to be done while in close proximity to your network.</p><p>The author is a network security veteran, and CEO of Andertec Enterprises <a target="_new" href="http://www.andertec.com">http://www.andertec.com</a>, which specializes in onsite custom computer services for the Los Angeles area.

INSERT INTO [articles] VALUES (5, 'Internet-and-Businesses-Online', 'Affiliate-Revenue', 'Will the Online Quiz Make the Old Fashioned Printed Quiz Obsolete?', '\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n<p>Q. Can you tell me the benefits of publishing an online quiz versus a printed one?</p><p>A. Well, the first benefit of publishing an online quiz that comes to mind is the fact that it''s an outstanding way to drive traffic to your web site. People love quizzes and they take ones that are printed in magazines all of the time. It''s reasonable to assume that if these same people knew about the existance of an online quiz that they would beat a path to your home page.</p><p>Another great feature of offering an online quiz is that you can change the subject regularly. In fact, you could offer a subscription where members sign up to be notified whenever a new online quiz gets posted.</p><p>An online quiz can also be used as a sales tool. One of the best ways of accomplishing this is to link your quiz questions to affiliate sites where you earn money when people make purchases. Then you can have a "scavenger hunt" online quiz where people have to visit those sites to find the quiz answers.</p><p>People also like to take an online quiz because they can get instant scoring without having to turn the page upside down, or flip to the end of the magazine, to find out how they did. You can even design your online quiz so that it gives instant feedback after every answer is entered.</p><p>One last thing to consider is that you can create keyword-rich versions of your online quiz and then post the URLs to search engines. That way you will not only get search traffic from people who like quizzes, but you''ll get traffic from people who are searching on the terms that you include in your online quiz!</p><p>So, while it''s not likely that a printed quiz is going to become obsolete any time soon. The Internet has once again forever impacted the way that we communicate. Today''s latest example?
