Chad Nilsson Launches New Blog Site to Teach Lead Generation technics and Profitable Products to Market

Every six seconds someone starts a new home business and most people do not understand how to generate a lead to talk with about a business opportunity or product.

Eagan, MN, January 01, 2011 -- Chad Nilsson Launches new Blog Site to Teach Lead Generation technics and Profitable Products to Market. Lead generation is the most important skill to learn when choosing to start a home business Nilsson says. Every six seconds someone starts a new home business and most people do not understand how to generate a lead to talk with about a business opportunity or product. After people chase their family and friends they run out of people to talk with and this is why there is a 97% failure rate in the home business industry.

My only focus to teach people how I am able to generate leads every day and market helpful products. The only reason why I was able to have success in this industry is because someone took the time to help me. It does not matter what products or opportunity you are trying to make money with, it all comes down to lead generation and this is how I am paying it forward.

Nilsson says, After intentionally staying on the fringe of the Home Business/Network Marketing Industry for a dozen years, the careful evaluation and due diligence of a dozen different top internet homes businesses, it was obvious that people needed help in learning how to generate leads. Launching WhoIsChadNilsson.com had the perfect combination of product, leadership, training and appropriate market timing. It’s very rare to have all of these elements come together in one powerful structure all at the same time. Together we can make a huge and important difference in people’s lives.

Entries were submitted from around the world, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, New Zealand, and Italy (in Italian!)

Pinole, CA, December 20, 2010 (Straight Line PR) -- Twenty-five people have been judged as authors of the best punctuation haikus in the world by an esteemed panel of judges who know about these things. The first ever Punctuation Haiku Contest was held in association with the 7th Annual National Punctuation Day, September 24, 2010.

National Punctuation Day, held every September 24, was founded by Jeff Rubin in 2004. A former newspaper reporter, Rubin uses the event to draw attention to the importance of proper punctuation in education and business. "It's a day for librarians, educators, and parents - people who are interested in teaching and promoting good writing skills to their students and their children," explains Rubin. "It's also a day to remind business people that they are often judged by how they present themselves."

Following National Punctuation Day's 2009 celebration, which featured a baking contest, the 2010 event announced the first-ever Punctuation Haiku Contest, to draw attention to the poetry of great punctuation. Three hundred and fifty-six people - from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, New Zealand, and Italy (in Italian!) submitted more than 3,000 haikus! Judges whittled the entries down to the 150 best. Then five judges received 30 entries each, with instructions to pick their top 5.

The judges were: Susan Craton, reporter for The Enterprise, in California, MD; Mike Montgomery, talk show host at WBGZ radio, in Alton, IL; Roberta Guise, principal of Guise Marketing and Public Relations, in San Francisco; Chris Treadway, columnist for the West County Times, in Richmond, CA; and Jeff Rubin, founder of National Punctuation Day ( http://www.NationalPunctuationDay.com/ ).

The winners are: Randal Carlson, Sarah Carzoli, Jonathan Darr, Lex Friedman, Anna Fruen, Dave Gaertner, Dave Gash, Michelle Green, Ken Guzik, Philip Kranyak, Larry McGee, Della McGuire, Sara Michael, Gloria Millner, Monica Mueller, Tom Murawski, Tessa Nunn, Morgan O'Brien, Nikki Savage, Angela Shetler, Shannon Smith, Michelle Stewart, Jaelynne Tolman, Melanie Webber, and Michael Wright. They represent the United States, Canada, England, France, and New Zealand.

Rubin sends special thanks to the teachers and students at Anamosa High School (Anamosa, Iowa), Glen Grove School (Glenview, Illinois), Hale Elementary School (Hale, Missouri), K.P.I (Brooklyn, New York), Mazzuchelli Catholic Middle School (Dubuque, Iowa), Mirman School (Los Angeles, California), Open Window School, (Bellevue, Washington), Churchland Middle School (Portsmouth, Virginia), Spring Hill Elementary School (McLean, Virginia), St. John the Baptist Catholic School (Madison, Alabama), St. Luke School (Columbus, Georgia), Saint Paul's School (Covington, Louisiana), West Noble Middle School (Ligonier, Indiana), St. John LaLande School (Blue Springs, Missouri), Ockerman Middle School (Florence, Kentucky), Vernon Center Middle School (Vernon, Connecticut), Wantagh Middle School (Wantagh, New York), and West Seneca East Middle School (West Seneca, New York), for their excellent contest entries.

Among the favorites of NPD founder and chief punctioneer Jeff Rubin was this haiku, submitted by Jacob Hewson, of Saint Paul's School (Covington, Louisiana):

All English teachers
Say I cannot punctuate.
What do they all mean;

Local Entrepreneur Expands Concrete Business to Focus on Flooring

Nick Dancer is immersing himself in the Ft. Wayne business community, as the couple plans to make this their permanent home.

Ft. Wayne, IN, December 20, 2010 -- Local entrepreneur Nick Dancer may be young, but he has a lot of experience that is translating into an expanding, thriving concrete flooring business.

Dancer, 23, has expanded Nick Dancer Concrete to now specialize in concrete flooring. He is one of the only businesses in the region with this focus. His competitive advantages include high-quality work, professionalism and pricing.

Dancer and his wife, Alexis, are natives of Delphos, Ohio. They moved to Ft. Wayne about 18 months ago for Alexis to attend school. Nick Dancer is immersing himself in the Ft. Wayne business community, as the couple plans to make this their permanent home.

In the sluggish housing market, many homeowners are seeking to make home improvements that add value to their homes. Most residential customers want attractive concrete flooring for their finished basements, a room that is now a viable living area for many homeowners. Concrete flooring also is popular for garages and outbuildings.

"My goal is to provide a practical flooring option that also is attractive and unique for both residential and commercial clients," he said. "I have five years of decorative concrete experience and have worked alongside some of the top concrete professionals in the country."

Previously, Dancer primarily provided concrete countertops. As the popularity of concrete flooring has increased, he decided to use his diverse skills to tap into that market.

Dancer's services include:

Concrete floor staining: Staining concrete can create rich organic colors. Stains and dyes are very versatile, allowing  different looks that complement room design and function. Natural stone floors such as marble and granite cannot mimic the natural look that concrete offers, Dancer said.

Stained concrete overlays: These overlays allow for chipped and cracked concrete to look beautiful again. Overlays can be applied to existing concrete that has some flaws. Overlays are very strong, moisture-resistant and warrantied.

Concrete floor cleaning: Periodic cleaning protects the surface from rust stains, grime and algae buildup, extending the life of the floor.

What's the Big Idea? ThoughtOffice Amps up Brain Power, Creates New Ideas Fast

The game has changed. There's a New Normal. To make the most of it, the world needs New Ideas. Fast. To get to those Big Ideas fast, there's ThoughtOffice Idea Software.

Portland, OR, December 18, 2010 (Straight Line PR) -- We're told that the game has changed. There's a new economy, a New Normal. In order to make the best of The New Normal, the world is going to need Big Ideas. New ideas, and the faster the better. One of the shortest, straightest lines to those Big Ideas can be found at the new ThoughtOffice web site - ThoughtRod.com.

"When we created ThoughtOffice, cubicles were still the norm. So an analog to Microsoft Office made sense: ThoughtOffice," says Mark Alan Effinger, CEO and Chief Evangelist. "But now, with more people working from a Starbucks and WiFi Anywhere, speed and agility are more important. So ThoughtRod was born."

Fresh ideas are solid currency in the new millennium. As never before, the world faces challenges that can only be overcome by taking a fresh look, and hitting those challenges head-on with some different ideas.

To get to these new ideas, creative problem solvers are more willing than ever to try new approaches. Leaders in government and industry are turning to computer programs such as ThoughtOffice Idea Software ( http://www.thoughtrod.com/idea-software/ ), for help developing their next Big Ideas, as quickly as possible. And the results are even better than expected.

"Like IdeaFisher, ThoughtOffice was designed with one purpose in mind: Creatively solve problems faster and easier than anything before," says ThoughtOffice's Effinger. "What's happened since has opened our eyes to how important speed is to the creative process. It can mean millions in savings, hundreds of millions in market opportunities."

ThoughtOffice Idea Software is available for both Macintosh OS X and Windows XP / Vista / 7. It features a collection of brainstorming plugin modules that provide professional guidance in 16 areas of expertise. ThoughtOffice program & module bundles are priced from $97 to $497 and are available online from the company's Amazon store ( http://amzn.to/ThoughtOfficeStore ) and at the company's new web site, http://www.ThoughtRod.com

Delivery is immediate, via download, and backup CDs are also available. CDs include the program software and modules, support documents, and short videos designed to help users get the most from the program, right away.

"ThoughtRod is a kind of conceptual mashup: there's Hot Rod - iconic customized cars with fast engines, designed to get down a quarter-mile track faster than a sneeze in a skillet," says Dave Lockman, Lead Mechanic at ThoughtOffice, "and there's the Process of Thought - which these days, needs to move faster than ever. As we continue to develop ThoughtOffice, we're making both performance improvements AND faster, better ways to solve problems and get creative. We really are turning it into a full-on ThoughtRod."

About ThoughtOffice:
ThoughtOffice Corporation is a Washington-based technology firm focused on innovation and business process development. Since 1986, the company founders have successfully founded and sold nearly a dozen companies, from advertising to laser display technology, software to Internet e-commerce. The development team interviewed over 800 business and innovation leaders, and apprenticed with Marsh Fisher, co-founder of Century 21 Real Estate and founder of IdeaFisher, one of the first and most popular brainstorming software programs. The result, ThoughtOffice, takes brainstorming and innovation out of the lab and makes it practical for daily use for education, business process development, advertising creatives, coaches and CEOs.

Eagan, MN, December 20, 2010 -- My Family IQ Hits a Home Run in Partnering with Rod Stinson.

When you combine a 10 year old company that has been on national TV (Dr. Phi) and  Rod Stinson's exclusive marketing system that will do all the sorting, sifting and explaining of the program, your only job will be sending people to the live webinar and answering your phone from people who want to join your team.

Our very first webinar with Family IQ produced over $200,000 in sales. This is the type of presentation you will want your traffic to see. That way you will see these people convert into paying customers without you having to do all of the hard work.

iPhone App Gives New Drivers Crucial Stopping Distance and Time Information

StopOMeter iPhone app by DSE Technology is potentially set to increase the driving test pass rate, reduce road traffic accidents and save lives

Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, December 18, 2010 -- DSE Technology has launched an iPhone app designed to give new drivers crucial stopping distance and time information, called StopOMeter.

In order to gain experience, drivers have to cover many miles before they begin to understand the relationship between speed of travel and the distance (and time) required for them to come to a stop in an emergency. New drivers have not yet had the luxury of covering enough miles to understand this relationship. But now, the new StopOMeter iPhone app helps them learn about this relationship in a much shorter period of time.

The new StopOMeter iPhone app

The app shows new drivers what their exact stopping distances and stopping times are from any speed. A countdown system tells the driver whether or not their estimates of stopping distances are correct. In addition, an Eco Driving module promotes smooth and safe driving and teaches superior anticipation skills. The quicker a new driver can learn these essential skills, the less likely they are to be involved in an accident.

The Highway Code states that you should not travel faster than a speed that allows you to "stop comfortably on your own side of the road within the distance you can see to be clear". The StopOMeter app helps new drivers keep to this golden rule in an easy-to-understand and intuitive format.

"Thanks to StopOMeter, new drivers can quickly learn the skills that experienced drivers take for granted which will help make them safer on the roads in a shorter space of time," says Duncan Mackillop, inventor of the app.   

Designed to be mounted inside the car, the StopOMeter also has a Head Up Display mode so that the iPhone can be placed on top of the dashboard allowing the readings to be reflected in the windscreen. Settings for information in Metres or Feet, Mph or Kph and the sensitivity of the Eco Driving module are all easily user selectable. Comprehensive help files and a range of hints and tips for safe driving are also included.

Priced at just £1.19, this must be the lowest-cost driver-safety app available. StopOMeter can be downloaded directly from iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/stopometer/id404444736?mt=8

About the developers
The StopOMeter is the second driver training app to be launched on the iPhone by this team of highly talented software developers (the first being I’ll Drive It, an app for driving instructors). With skills gathered from the aerospace and publishing industries, the team is led by the former research and development director of one of the original dot com companies.

RedEye Makes Behavioural Email easy

New Behavioural Email onDemand is so simple companies could be sending automated email triggers within 24 hours

Crewe, Cheshire, December 16, 2010 -- Today RedEye unveils its new product designed to make behavioural email campaigns available to all ecommerce brands. New research* shows only 7% of UK retail companies use abandoned basket emails (one of the simplest behavioural targeting triggers) to recover online sales. Therefore RedEye’s new product Behavioural Email onDemand is urgently needed to follow up the massive problem of abandoned baskets, which are otherwise lost sales.

85% of customers abandon an online purchase. However the vast majority of ecommerce brands do nothing to recapture these lost sales. With drop-off customers proven to be a most profitable subset, Behavioural Email onDemand is reacting to market requirements by providing an easy way to start targeting them. Behavioural email has been around for 10 years, yet it’s still extremely underutilised. It’s the best way of boosting click-throughs, conversions and, hence, ROI in email marketing.

For years, RedEye has offered its full-scale behavioural marketing, analytics and usability service to hundreds of larger ecommerce brands - now it is offering its behavioural service in a ‘lite’ version with automated triggers, which is especially good as an abandoned booking recovery system. Behavioural Email onDemand is not just for SMEs, but for big brands that think they can’t afford it, or perceive it be too complicated. It is designed as an intuitive self-service product, with support provided by expert RedEye consultants.

Mark Patron, CEO at RedEye, says: "It’s behavioural email made easy. onDemand enables companies to take their first steps in behavioural and see immediate results, with incremental revenue from otherwise lost sales.

"Marketers should ask themselves if they are happy converting just 2% to 3% of their website traffic - if the answer is no, they can now try this free solution."

Behavioural targeting is all about relevance! With basket/order abandoners, these ‘nearly-customers’ have shown serious interest in your brand, so any timely communication with them by default is directly relevant and highly likely to be acted upon (click-throughs have proven to be up to 60% and conversion rates 15%).

Behavioural Email onDemand is so simple to setup that new users could be sending automated email triggers within 24 hours. RedEye provides tags to start tracking abandoners and a simple system to build and send email campaigns.  The tags are as easy to set up as Google analytics. There are no ESP integration fees and the onDemand programmes can work alongside any existing email campaigns.

Companies can try it free for a month, and quickly improve ROI.

Trumpet educatorMichael Droste has released a new book called: "The Ultimate Trumpet Wedding Book". This book includes five of the most requested wedding pieces for services.

Bartlett, IL, December 16, 2010 -- Trumpet educator Michael Droste has released a new book called: "The Ultimate Trumpet Wedding Book." This book includes five of the most requested wedding pieces for services. Each piece is written in four different keys and includes all the parts for trumpet and keyboard.  The five pieces are:

Trumpet Voluntary by Purcell/Clarke (the four keys for trumpet and keyboard are: Ab, Bb, C, and D)

Trumpet Tune by Purcell/Clarke (the four keys for trumpet and keyboard are: Bb, C, F, and G)

Wedding March by Mendelssohn (the four keys for trumpet and keyboard are: C, D, F, and G)

Rondeau Theme by Mouret (the four keys for trumpet and keyboard are: A, Bb, C, and D)

The player is also able to choose a key that is in the player’s range. "I would get so many emails from trumpet players all over the world, looking for the standard wedding pieces in a more accessible key," said Droste. After doing research, and finding that none existed, he solved this problem for trumpet players permanently. Droste stated, "One simply has to try the different versions, find the one they are most comfortable with,then go play the wedding gig!" Since releasing this book he has received many thank you notes from all levels of players that have been asked to perform for a wedding service.

Windy Town Releases We're All in This Together a Message of Hope, Call to Action

Michael Droste, a composer and musician from Illinois, wrote a song called "We’re All In This Together."

Streamwood, IL, December 15, 2010 -- Michael Droste, a composer and musician from Illinois, wrote a song called "We’re All In This Together." "I wanted a way to inspire others to do the right thing - and what better way than through a song," said Droste. In these tumultuous times of unemployment, climate change, and uncertainty, this song send messages of hope, that we need to help each other, we need to work together and that beauty can change the world. The song makes you think about what you can do to make your life better for you and for everyone.

"I wanted to emphasize points that every person can do, such as: recognize that we are all connected, all living on one planet. We need to help others, and work together to bring about positive change," said Droste. He stated, "I also wanted to get the idea out there that: Beauty Can Change The World." When one creates something of beauty, it brings out the message of hope and positive change. "When people create something beautiful, a painting, a sculpture, or contribute to those people or organizations creating beauty, they help to bring about the message that beauty is capable of having an impact upon a person, and in doing so - change the world." "Songs are a very fun and yet strong way to get messages into people’s minds through a melody that people don’t forget," said Droste.

"I want people to pass on this song to others," said Mike. "Give the song to family and friends, to remind those closest to them of the truly important aspects of life," said Droste. He hopes to get their message of positive change and action out to the public. Many who have heard the song, go away humming the melody and thinking about ways in which We’re All In This Together.

The album single We’re All In This Together by Michael Droste is available through the Itunes, Amazon and other online music retailers. You can also see their We’re All In This Together music video at WindyTown.com http://www.WindyTown.Com

Trippin ‘N’ Rhythm Records is pleased to announce the signing of saxophonist Michael Lington. Label owner Les Cutmore recently had the chance to catch Michael in London at the Royal Albert Hall where Michael was performing with Michael Bolton on a 125 date world tour. Les Cutmore comments, "After meeting Michael in London, spending most of the day with him and speaking about some great ideas and his musical direction, then seeing him perform live at the Royal Albert Hall just confirmed to me how talented he is. I'm very pleased to have signed Michael to the label and we look forward to a great working relationship and a great friendship."

Michael Lington, with his unique sense of style and sound, has been instrumental in defining the look and feel of the contemporary jazz genre over the last decade. With his knack of penning compelling, memorable hits, Lington is no stranger to the top of the radio and retail charts. His 2002 release was chosen as one of the best contemporary jazz records of the year by Jazziz Magazine, 2006 brought Best album of the year accolades from Jazz Trax and in 2009 Michael was nominated as International Instrumentalist Of The Year at the Canadian contemporary Jazz Awards.

Getting his first big break when he replaced Boney James in Bobby Caldwell’s band, he has since gone on to tour with Randy Crawford, Brian Culbertson, was a recent touring member of Gentlemen Of The Night With Marion Meadows and Paul Taylor and has also opened for the great Barry Manilow.

Currently on a world tour with singer Michael Bolton, Lington is finding a fresh new audience and finds himself with the unique opportunity to be a jazz ambassador. A platform that is allowing him not only share his gift, but to let the pop world in on what is not such a little secret anymore, that contemporary jazz can and does find favor in the masses if it just has a chance to be heard.

In between his extensive touring schedule, Michael will enter the studio to begin recording his 'Trippin debut, due out in 2011. www.michaellington.com

Fidelis Marketing Turkey Drive Provides 200 Turkeys to Sacramento Food Bank

Fidelis Marketing coordinates participating car dealers, staff members, the Marine Corps and the Safeway Corporation to provide 200 turkeys to the Sacramento Food Bank.

Folsom, CA, December 02, 2010 -- Fidelis Marketing successfully organized a Turkey Drive at car dealerships to benefit the Sacramento Food Bank. Fidelis Marketing, a direct mail marketing company servicing over 1500 clients nationwide, organized their largest Turkey Drive to date, donating 200 turkeys.

Jeff Garcia, President of Fidelis, said about the fundraiser, "It was extremely successful for the car dealerships. The public response at the dealerships resulted in additional vehicle sales and a stimulus to the dealers’ local economies."

The public, responding to promotional advertising by visiting participating dealerships to inquire about a car as a result of the Fidelis mail drops, received a gift certificate for a free turkey. In addition, with each 1,000-piece mail drop that car dealers ran in alliance with Fidelis Marketing, the local Sacramento Food Bank also received a donated turkey.

Asked about the Turkey Drive, Garcia commented, "We formerly only did half of the event. With this year’s tough economy and so many families struggling, our staff felt it was important to add the second half of the promotion and do our part locally to donate the additional turkeys to the local Food Bank based on the national participation."

Garcia, also a former Marine, enlisted the help of the Sacramento Motor T and Maintenance Division Marines. In response, they provided a 7-ton Marine Corps truck and a group of Marines to help deliver the turkeys to the Food Bank.

Responding to questions on who was involved, Garcia said, "Our staff of 27 participated in selling the promotions to the dealers. In addition, our staff put in countless hours and their own money to the cause. Safeway sold us the turkeys at a bulk rate as a contribution to the cause, and the Sacramento Marines participated in the delivery and donated their time and vehicle."

Fidelis staff aims to recruit more participants next year and deliver 500 turkeys to the Sacramento Food Bank.

SAFE International has a wide offering of self defense programs including:

1) Ottawa Corporate Self Defense - Workplace violence is on the rise. Company and organizational leaders have become increasingly concerned about protecting themselves and their staff. SAFE International can address these needs by providing seminars tailored to specific job needs in any service industry ranging from real estate to health care to sales employees. Self protection is a necessity but it is now a form of insurance that will make your business more profitable and your employees more confident and secure.  SAFE International courses are excellent at meeting many aspects of Ontario Bill 168 on workplace violence and harassment.

2) Ottawa Women’s Self Defense - Twenty five percent of women will be assaulted during their lifetime and the highest risk group is teenage women. This is an alarming fact especially since over forty seven percent of crime is unreported. Women will know their attacker fifty seven percent of the time according to studies. Women lead busy lives and need easy to remember tactics that work in real-life situations. They also need training that fits into their busy schedules. SAFE International  understands the challenges that women face and offer classes, group seminars and private lessons to fit into anyone's schedule.  SAFE International offers courses at the client’s home where they can address topics such as home invasions, car safety, family safety, plus much more.  They even have a Best Friends self defense course which can be a fun environment to learn in. 

3) Ottawa High School Self Defense - SAFE International has become Canada's most popular high school course for both boys and girls due to the fact that they don't teach martial arts, but rather a practical approach to personal safety with an emphasis on detecting and defusing potentially dangerous situations. All their instructors are certified through SAFE International and have a unique ability to reach the students in an effective and memorable manner.  SAFE International offers courses from one to five hours in length.

4) Ottawa Men’s Self Defense -- SAFE International provides a no nonsense approach to personal safety.

Included in the men’s self defense course is how to deal with Personal Self Defense emotionally, psychologically and physically. Next SAFE International moves on to Close Quarter Striking Tools and learning how to identify the most vulnerable areas of the body and how to strike them in a quick, non telegraphed manner. Discussion on how using a Non-Aggressive Posture is one of your best tools to catch an attacker off guard.  Common Street Attacks are addressed as there are only a few primary attacks that are used in real life attacks. By preparing for those few you are also prepared to handle the secondary attacks. Even then, we still cover all the possible attacks which will include... chokes, punches, tackles, grabs, holds, plus how to handle things in the event that they go to the ground.  In addition, SAFE International can address defense against commonly used weapons such as knives, bats, and guns.

5) Ottawa Cyber Bullying Prevention Program -- for years, schools have offered Anti-Bullying programs, but now with the internet and all its benefits, there is a negative side, Cyber Bullying, another form of bullying which cannot be ignored. Cyberbullying is quite often an extension of traditional bullying and can take many forms.SAFE International - has recognized that this topic can no longer be ignored and in traditional fashion, we have developed a program which is both memorable and effective in teaching our 3 R's philosophy of Recognize, React, and Respond. First students are taught how to recognize the different forms that cyber bullying make take, whether they be through texting, emailing or popular social networking sites. Students are then taught through discussion, case studies and interaction how to react to these forms of bullying whether it be to handle themselves, or to approach the proper authorities / parents on how to respond in the quickest and safest manner.
