    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Always wanted a patio, but didn't know how to build one? Well, you don't need to worry about that any longer. <br /><br /> You can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/build+a+patio" rel="tag">build a patio</a> for your home without even learning how to build a patio. Amazing huh? Let me tell you how. <br /><br /> At any garden or home improvement store, you will find those 'walkway' stones. They usually come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. <br /><br /> To build a patio using these, and without pouring any cement at all, you just figure out how large you would want your patio. If you want your patio to be 100 square feet, you would purchase one hundred of the 'walkway' squares. <br /><br /> They usually come in one <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/foot+squares" rel="tag">foot squares</a>. This is the easiest way to learn how to build a patio. Then you would dig your ground up and level it. <br /><br /> You can use a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rake" rel="tag">rake</a> and a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/shovel" rel="tag">shovel</a> for this. Rake the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dirt" rel="tag">dirt</a> out evenly and place your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stepping+stones" rel="tag">stepping stones</a> down one beside the other. <br /><br /> Of course, to make one that is perfectly square, you would place ten rows of ten. You want to fit them as closely together as you can. Then stomp them down a bit into the dirt that you have raked up. <br /><br /> Ensure that all of your stepping stones are even. Then you will shovel your extra dirt on top of the squares. It doesn't matter if there's only a little left. <br /><br /> Spread it out evenly over the squares and sweep it off. This helps fill up any small cracks in the patio squares. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voila" rel="tag">Voila</a>! This is one of the easiest ways to learn how to build a patio ever. <br /><br /> There are other ways to build a patio and make it look great you can check them out at <a href="http://www.buildapatio.net" >http://www.buildapatio.net</a> for easy instructions and advice.   <bio>Jessica S shares more tips and advice on patios at <a href="http://www.buildapatio.net" >http://www.buildapatio.net</a> Want a garden?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Question: I've got a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/newsletter" rel="tag">newsletter</a> that just isn't growing. I'm posting my site on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/free+classified+ads" rel="tag">free classified ads</a> and I'm paying for advertising, but I'm just not seeing results. What can I do? <br /><br /> Signed, Nobody Loves Me <br /><br /> Dear Nobody Loves Me, <br /><br /> Let me start by saying you are not alone. I believe you are working hard. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/unfortunately" rel="tag">Unfortunately</a>, just because you are working hard doesn't mean you'll have success. You need to also work smart and invest in long-term ways to grow your list. <br /><br /> Let me tell you about my favorite way to grow your list -- giving away articles. <br /><br /> If you're not familiar with using articles as a marketing method, then you're in for a big treat. Website owners and blog owners are always looking for content to share with their web visitors. So, there are places called Article Directories (basically a library of free articles) where they can go to find articles that they can use -- free. <br /><br /> All of these articles have an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/author+bio" rel="tag">Author bio</a> at the end. (See the end of this article for an example.). The author bio is the primo space where the authors get to talk about their business. Their brag space, so to speak. <br /><br /> What does any of this have to do with you? You can write and distribute articles to these article directories, too. And, in your author bio, instead of linking directly to your main page of your site, you can link to a page where you have a signup box for your newsletter. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voila" rel="tag">Voila</a>. Everyone who clicks through that link will be taken to the page where you can offer them your wonderful newsletter (with a great incentive they can't pass up.) Of course your page will lure them into signing up and your newsletter list will grow.   About The Author: Nicole Dean doesn't pay for advertising -- ever. She uses <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/article+marketing" rel="tag">Article Marketing</a> to get <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/free+advertising" rel="tag">free advertising</a> on websites and in newsletters worldwide. You can use articles to get free traffic, too. Visit <a href="http://www.EasyArticleMarketing.com">http://www.EasyArticleMarketing.com</a> to find out how.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are hundreds, maybe thousands of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/free+directories" rel="tag">free directories</a> on the internet, and you can use them to easily market your site -- for free. <br /><br /> Directory Submissions <br /><br /> Submitting your site to free directories is the most obvious way to market your site via directories. Of course, there are several rules you should follow when submitting your site, if you want it to be accepted. Here are the most common site requirements: <br /><br /> 1: Quality site. Meaning no adsense, porn, hate, or scraper sites allowed. Unique content is a must.  2: No promotional language in your title or description  3: Use valid <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/contact" rel="tag">contact</a> information  4: Use your official site name as your title <br /><br /> Use those rules, and of course, read the rules on each site you submit to, and more of your listings will be approved. <br /><br /> Are paid submissions worth it? <br /><br /> With the exception of perhaps Yahoo, I do not believe so. The increase in link quality is just not worth the expense, in my opinion. <br /><br /> Directory Marketing by owning your own directory <br /><br /> There are several free scripts available that allow you to run your own internet directory. The most common script is PHP Link Directory. It allows you to very easily run your own directory -- submissions, approvals, payments, etc are all easily done with just a click of a button. What's more -- it's free! <br /><br /> Of course, one must ask what advantage owning a directory will give you. Probably the two biggest benefits are: <br /><br /> Income  You can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/monetize" rel="tag">monetize</a> your directory with pay per click listings (try <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/searchfeed" rel="tag">SearchFeed</a>.com's XML Feed) and paid directory listings. <br /><br /> Reciprocal Links  You can offer webmasters preferred links in your directory in return for a link to your main website -- <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voila" rel="tag">voila</a>! You have one way links for free! <br /><br /> Free directories are a great way to market your site. Of course, they are only one part of a balanced marketing plan, but you can't beat the price, that's for sure!   <bio>Submit your site to <a href="http://www.directories-directory.info" >http://www.directories-directory.info</a>, a top <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/quality+directory" rel="tag">quality directory</a>. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ One of the best ways to get <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/free+traffic" rel="tag">free traffic</a> is to concentrate on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/article+marketing" rel="tag">article marketing</a>. For those of you who have never worked with article marketing before don=12t stress, it=12s really not that difficult. <br /><br /> The beauty of article marketing is that it is free. A method to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/advertise+your+business" rel="tag">advertise your business</a> for free, what could be better? Just write a short article, submit it for free and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voila" rel="tag">voila</a>, free advertising. <br /><br /> The way it works is that you write up an article. In that article you write about your topic in an informative way that is not trying to sell something. Then at the bottom of the article you include a little author resource box that says something like this: =13Author <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/john+doe" rel="tag">John Doe</a> writes on a variety of topics. To find out more about this topic John recommends you visit: =05=14 and you include a link back to your website. <br /><br /> Then go online and search for free article directories. There are hundreds of article directories that you can sign up for and post your articles. Pick some of the most popular ones; those will have the most traffic. <br /><br /> You don=12t need to be a talented writer to write articles. The articles are short. 300- 400 words are fine and anyone can pound out a basic informative article of this length. <br /><br /> Start by researching your topic a bit. Take some notes. What are other people writing about? What do you already know? What do you want your article to say? <br /><br /> One easy way to write an article is to summarize an article you find online. DO NOT <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/plagiarize" rel="tag">plagiarize</a>, or copy it word for word. It is easy enough to read an article and then rewrite it using your own ideas and words. You will be caught if you are copying articles. Maybe not this time or the next but be sure you will be found out and you don=12t want to ruin your reputation on something like that. <br /><br /> Article marketing is one of the best ways to get traffic and links to your website. You can use this method alone to build a solid stream of traffic to your site.   <bio><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/michael+molloy" rel="tag">Michael Molloy</a> can show you how.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We are well aware of the expenses that we need to incur when we travel. Traveling does not come cheap, though there are ways by which we can travel on a budget if we just know where to look.  You can find a lot of affordable packages offered online. You could also try visiting your travel agent to receive current information on discounts and promotions.<br /><br /> 	  The bulk of our expense when we travel usually goes to transportation, food and accommodation. Transportation and accommodation usually cost the most. But what if you could save on your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/travel+expenditures" rel="tag">travel expenditures</a> by cutting the amount you may need to spend on your place of stay? What if you could get board and lodging for free during your entire vacation?  	  People nowadays are doing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/apartment" rel="tag">apartment</a> swapping to save on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/accommodation+costs" rel="tag">accommodation costs</a>. This practice has been slowly getting popular among those who wish to travel despite the modest income they may be making. During the first time that I heard about this, I actually had a hard time believing that people would be willing to do this. But after seeing ads on apartment swapping being posted online I <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/guess" rel="tag">guess</a> the times have changed. 	  	  Swapping <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/apartments" rel="tag">apartments</a> work simply with two people exchanging apartments maybe for a day or so or it would even go as long as a week or even a month. You for example could be living in New York and you want to go spend some time in California. You may post an ad that you are looking for someone with an apartment in California who wants to spend time in New York. Someone in California may be interested in your proposal, so you make arrangements and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voila" rel="tag">voila</a> you got yourself <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/free+accommodation" rel="tag">free accommodation</a>.  	  With this type of arrangement you'll save yourself hundreds of dollars or even more if it involves swapping apartments with someone in another country. This is good especially during peak season when it is hard to book for accommodations and when the prices usually sky rocket since a lot of people will be traveling at this time.<br /><br /> 	  The downside to this arrangement is that you don't know the person who will be using the apartment. You can never be sure if he/she will take care of it the way you maintain it. He/she might just be there to have parties and we can't have people wrecking our apartments now do we. But of course this is the risk we take when we go into such arrangements. If you do decide to opt for apartment swapping please do take care of the apartment you will be staying in.   <bio>Cathy Peterson writes about <a href="http://www.traveldealsdiscounts.com" >http://www.traveldealsdiscounts.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Even if you are limited on space, it is possible to make your backyard beautiful. If you're thinking bikinis and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hot+tubs" rel="tag">hot tubs</a>, that's not what I mean! You can add a beautiful pond to your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tiny+backyard" rel="tag">tiny backyard</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Ponds are a great way to attract birds, butterflies and other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/critters" rel="tag">critters</a>, and it can be a great place to add some lovely outside plants. <br /><br /> Read on if you don't know how to build a pond. It's actually fairly easy and you can do it in about 10 easy steps. <br /><br /> How to build a pond: <br /><br /> 1. Select the location of your pond. The best tip on how to build a pond is to make sure that you build it away from trees and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bushes" rel="tag">bushes</a>. There will be less maintenance this way. <br /><br /> 2. The next thing you will need to do is dig your pond. You can make the shape of the pond however you want, but you will need to dig it between 8 and 24 inches deep. Some people choose to make the middle of the pond deeper than the sides.<br /><br /><br /><br /> 3. Next, you will need to line your hole with a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pond+liner" rel="tag">pond liner</a>.  Some people choose to forgo this step. If your soil contains a lot of clay, you might be able to leave the liner out.<br /><br /><br /><br /> You will then need to add gravel to the bottom of your pond, so keep this in mind while digging it. Another tip for how to build a pond is to place heavy rocks along the sides of the liner to hold it in place. You can cut it to size and bury the edges. <br /><br /> 4. A lot of people choose to add a pump and filter to their pond. With a small one, you don't have to. However, if you choose to do so, you should do it now.<br /><br /><br /><br /> When learning how to build a pond, you will find that a pump and filter keeps the water from getting stagnant. Most small pumps come with a filter built in. <br /><br /> 5. Now you can fill the pond with water. Voila! You have a really nice pond that you can enjoy in your backyard. <a href="http://www.howtobuildapond.net/howto/how-to-build-a-pond-step-by-step.html" >http://www.howtobuildapond.net/howto/how-to-build-a-pond-step-by-step.html</a><br /><br /><br /><br /> It's really not hard to learn how to build a pond in your tiny backyard that is beautiful and something your family can still enjoy.   <bio><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/amy+c" rel="tag">Amy C</a> is a pond fanatic and mother of four.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[You do not have to be a good crafter to be able to make many great <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/halloween+crafts" rel="tag">Halloween crafts</a> that will make your holiday joyful. Halloween suggests pictures of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/spooky+ghosts" rel="tag">spooky ghosts</a>, black cats, dark witches, and flying bats. <br><br>You can recreate some of these images with fun and simple crafts. <br><br>The best part about making Halloween crafts is that the whole family can make them and it can give you some time to spend together. Lots of Halloween crafts can be done by almost any age child. For instance, your toddler can help out and learn new skills like cutting, drawing, and coloring. <br><br>Of course, you need some crafting supplies from the store. Here is the basic craft equipment needed: <br><br>* Several craft paintings: black, white, orange, etc. (pots and spraying cans) <br>* Gold and silver paint (spraying cans) <br>* Colored pipe cleaners <br>* Black, white, silver and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/gold+marker" rel="tag">gold marker</a>s <br><br>Obviously, most homes already have basic craft supplies like scissors, tape and glue.<br> <br>So, let's begin: it is going to be fun!<br> <br>Spiders <br><br>To make these spiders, you need an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/egg+carton" rel="tag">egg carton</a>. <br>Cut all the egg cups. <br>Paint them black. <br>Paint their eyes with white or orange paint. <br>Make four small holes on each side of the spiders. <br>Insert a black or colored pipe cleaner in each hole and stick or glue them to the spider. <br>Give the shape you want to the pipe cleaners <br><br>Pumpkin boxes <br><br>Find as many small <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pumpkin+plastic" rel="tag">pumpkin plastic</a> containers as you want. <br>Fill them with candies. <br>Voila! Treats are ready to be given to kids who will ring on your bell on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/halloween+eve" rel="tag">Halloween Eve</a>. <br><br>Colored Pumpkins <br><br>Here is a very special idea that will allow you to renew your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/halloween+ornaments" rel="tag">Halloween ornaments</a> while saving a lot of money. You probably already have ceramic pumpkins. Rather buying new Halloween ornaments, paint your old ones according to your needs: gold or silver paint for a luxurious decoration, for example. <br><br>You may also want to paint them in black or white. With a black, white, silver or gold marker, draw some shapes on these new pumpkins such as black cat, white witch, black mansion... <br><br>Kids love bright colors so you can paint your pumpkins in several different bright colors such as orange, green, blue, red, yellow, etc. Draw Halloween figures on these pumpkins. For teenagers decoration, paint pumpkins with metallic colors, glow-in-the-dark, glitter, and so on. <br><br>Pumpkin Jar <br><br>If you already have one or more, fill a glass jar with small plastic or ceramic pumpkins; alternate pumpkins with maple berries and leaves. <br><br>Do-it-yourself Halloween Lights <br><br>Here is an almost free Halloween craft! Paint small jars in black, white and orange. Draw some Halloween shapes on them and insert a tea light candle in each jar. For instance, paint a white jar, draw Scream murderer's eyes and mouth and voila, you have an original ghost light. Place the Halloween candles on a black tray, insert mini pumpkins, maple berries and leaves, etc. <br> <br>If you have larger jars, you may paint them as well and pour in Christmas lights. <br><br>Halloween Candelabra <br><br>Paint candelabra with black paint. <br>Add orange candles. <br>Hang cobwebs on the candelabra for a spooky Halloween effect!<br> <br>Halloween Centrepiece <br><br>You will need to use a bread basket in order to make this item. <br>Fill it with some maple leaves. <br>Add cobweb, mini pumpkins, spiders... <br>You may keep the basket for Thanksgiving: you will only have to replace cobweb and spiders by grapes and pine cones. <br><br>Halloween Tree <br><br>Put bare branches in a vase. <br>Paint small Christmas tree balls black, white, and orange. <br>Draw Halloween shapes on them. <br>Hang the balls on the branches. <br>You may also make your own Halloween tree ornaments such as ghosts, black cat, witches, and spiders cut out cardboard. Paint them and hang them on the tree. <br><br>Tip: make a uncommon Halloween garland with popcorn painted orange.<br> <br>Witch Hat <br><br>If you still have a pointy black hat from last year, reuse it by sticking Halloween items such as fake hands, spiders, cobwebs or other spooky items and pin it to the front door. <br><br>Happy Halloween!<bio><a href="http://www.holidays.prosperity66.com/happyhalloween" target="_blank">D.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are several people who wish to have an easier life, to make it big. Some play the lottery, some just work really hard; others try the World Wide Web. <br /><br /> It can be simple, but like everything else, making money online can be difficult and tricky. <br /><br /> Online stores are popping up all over the place. If you have a talent and would like to receive royalties for it, develop an online store. Customers can shop all hours of the day, and payment seems to be almost immediate, coming from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/e+checks" rel="tag">e checks</a> and credit or debit cards. You will want to charge for shipping the product, and unfortunately, some online stores overcharge grossly. However, it can still be a fairly profitable business. <br /><br /> Whatever "IT" is=85 you can sell it online. People across the globe are cleaning out their garages and attics full of useless and sometime <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/priceless" rel="tag">priceless</a> stuff and selling it or auctioning it off. The most popular site isn't the only one out there, but it's the most widely known. This is relatively easy to do, just set up an account with the website and then another one with an online banking system and voila, you can start selling anything (and that does mean anything from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dirty+socks" rel="tag">dirty socks</a> to a pop star's hair) to anyone around the world. Trust that there are some crazy things being sold and worse yet, being bought online. <br /><br /> Another way to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/make+money+online" rel="tag">make money online</a> and perhaps to some a less lucrative way, is to do something like <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/medical+transcriptions" rel="tag">medical transcriptions</a> or even writing articles for various websites. Becoming a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/medical+transcriptionist" rel="tag">medical transcriptionist</a> is fairly easy, pay a little money and take some courses (it's a two year degree). One has to be well versed in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/medical+terminology" rel="tag">medical terminology</a> and be able to hear quiet, rushed, and often foreign voices. Writing articles online is a little trickier. You need to be able write, work under a deadline, and be extremely creative because there is no plagiarism tolerated. No matter your specialty, there is a way to make money off of it online.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The ultimate handheld multimedia machine is what I call Sony's latest gaming console. It is the best thing Sony has ever come up with so far. You can do almost anything with it! <br /><br /> Officially marketed as a gaming console, there is much more to it than that. For one thing, you can download your favorite music files onto the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/memory+stick" rel="tag">memory stick</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voila" rel="tag">voila</a>, you have a portable music player! It also makes use of a new storage device called the UMD. It looks like a CD but is much smaller. Aside from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/games" rel="tag">games</a>, you can get <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/music+videos" rel="tag">music videos</a> and movies. With its wide high resolution screen, you can now watch your favorite movies anywhere, anytime you want to. If you are a high tech bookworm like me, then you will love the PSP even more. You can download e-books from the internet and put them on the PSP as JPEG files and read the latest novels on the go! Do you want to carry precious memories around anywhere you go? Convert your pictures into digital format and transfer them onto the memory stick. Now you can have hundreds of pictures at your fingertips! <br /><br /> The relatively large screen size makes for easy viewing of almost any format you use. During game play, the details will just astound you. Watching a movie is like watching it on DVD. You can adjust the contrast so as to suit your viewing preferences. <br /><br /> The memory stick's storage capacity might give you a bit of a headache, though. There are large capacity <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/memory+sticks" rel="tag">memory sticks</a> available but many of them are a bit pricey. However, I would say that it's worth it. <br /><br /> It would be a good idea to purchase the headphones that come as an accessory. The built-in speakers of the PSP can be a bit disappointing. They just don't give you the best experience when playing a game, watching a movie, or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/listening+to+music" rel="tag">listening to music</a>. The headphones give a much better sound quality. <br /><br /> Another drawback is that there doesn't seem to be enough good games for the console yet. Compared to other handheld gaming consoles, the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sony+psp" rel="tag">Sony PSP</a> lags behind when it comes to the release of new games. The UMD disks are quite expensive as well. <br /><br /> Then again, I am sure you will be able to find something to do with your PSP while waiting for the next game or movie to come out.   <bio>For more information please visit <a href="http://www.444.net">http://www.444.net.</a>. </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you are like anybody else in the world, when you have had a long hard day of work or play, you probably crawl into your bed every night thankful that you have it. Don't you think your pet might feel the same way? <br /><br /> We all need a good night's rest in order to have a great day, and what better way to give your dog the pampering he deserves  than to make sure he's got a comfy dog bed all his own. Whether you are in the market for a large dog bed, a designer dog bed, or just a fluffy pillow <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fido" rel="tag">Fido</a> can call his own, you have a variety of options before you. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/large+dog+beds" rel="tag">Large dog beds</a> run about $15 to $50 at your local pet store. The purpose for a dog bed is very similar to the purpose for a human bed; they keep your pet off of the floor directly, away from any creepies or crawlies that might be down there at night and away from the draft. Another purpose for a dog bed is to keep your dog from wanting to sleep with you, so if you have that problem, it might serve you well to look into a bed for your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/loyal+pooch" rel="tag">loyal pooch</a> companion. <br /><br /> If you've got a picky pooch, there are even some beds that can warm or cool based on whether or not your dog is in the bed, and the temperature of their surroundings. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/this+means+that" rel="tag">This means that</a> when it's a bit warm inside, your dog's bed cools itself and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vice+versa" rel="tag">vice versa</a>. <br /><br /> These types of fancy beds can get up there in price. If you just want to make a dog bed for your pet instead of going broke on one (or just feeling like you did), consider making one for them. This is a great activity for the family and a good way to involve your kids in the project and teach them some of the responsibilities that go along with owning a pet. <br /><br /><br /><br />It can be done with a large cloth sack or sheet stuffed with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/shopping+bags" rel="tag">shopping bags</a> (for that cushy effect). Tying up the ends of the sheet or sack and stuffing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/plastic+grocery+bags" rel="tag">plastic grocery bags</a> into them is a great way to make a dog bed because they can fit the form of your pet, making it more comfortable for him. This is similar to the idea of a beanbag, but not quite as involved (or potentially disastrous, when it comes to pet beds). <br /><br /> If that doesn't work, using a few pillows and a large basket (for the small to medium sized breeds) will do just fine. Line the inside of the basket with pillows and blankets to make it comfy enough for your canine friend, put it in a comfortable space (anywhere they might normally lounge) and voila--you have a homemade dog bed!   <bio>By Renske Buursma, pet store owner with lots of helpful articles about pet care at <a href="http://yourhealthypetsonline.com" >http://yourhealthypetsonline.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello all you wonderful people out there. Do any of you know anything about organic body care? Do any of you use organic body products? <br /><br /> I happen to know of some very famous people who did. Even the beautiful <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cleopatra" rel="tag">Cleopatra</a> used organic products. She would take her bath in a tub of milk in order to relax and keep her skin soft. In the 1800's Miss Josephine, Emperor Napoleon's ex-wife, busied herself with organic gardening. Every variety of roses known at the time could be found in her exquisite garden. <br /><br /> Between then and now a lot of chemicals have been developed that are used in foodstuffs and cosmetics. However, for me, personally, nothing can take away from the thrill of discovering natural uses for herbs and flowers and learning about natural cures. <br /><br /> Take roses. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rose+petals" rel="tag">Rose petals</a> can be used for their scent in perfume, deodorant, air freshener, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/soaps" rel="tag">soaps</a>, potpourri mixes, and even for eating. Do you remember mom's remedy for a cold -- leaning over a bowl of boiling water with your head covered in a towel and inhaling? Just add some organic rose petals to the boiling water and inhale that fragrance. The same water can then be poured into spray bottles and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voil" rel="tag">voil</a>ą, you have a natural air freshener. <br /><br /> Still we have come a long way since the time of Cleopatra and Josephine. As you probably know, there is always more than one way of doing things. You and I each have our own preference. What's good for one person is not necessarily good for another. Let's face it, not everyone is going to take a milk bath. Today you can go out and buy all kinds of organic body products including <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/organic+body+lotion" rel="tag">organic body lotion</a>. You choose. You decide, You have fun.   About The Author: Our experts made a research to find the best organic body care store.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello folks. Have you ever come down with some ailment just when the local pharmacy is closed? There must be some <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+medicine" rel="tag">natural medicine</a> and herbs in the kitchen you can use. <br /><br /> I'm going through my kitchen right now to see what organic body products I can come up with. My eyes are really tired so I cut two slices of fresh cucumber and press over each eye. Boy is that refreshing! <br /><br /> Chamomile in natural herb form or in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tea+bag" rel="tag">tea bag</a>s is a great natural medicine Once, I suffered from eye <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/secretion" rel="tag">secretion</a>. I headed straight for the kitchen and found chamomile as a herbal supplement. I immersed <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/chamomile+tea" rel="tag">chamomile tea</a> bags in boiling water, let them cool, applied one to each eye, (never use the same tea bag on both eyes so as not to re-infect), and finally gently wiped the secretion brushing from the inner corner of the eye towards the outer . After a couple of applications of this home remedy the secretion was completely cleared up! <br /><br /> Chamomile is also great for removing pus from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pimple" rel="tag">pimple</a>s. Peering into the mirror, my daughter wailed, "Oh, mom, I have this horrible pussy pimple on my face." No problem. After pressing a chamomile tea bag that had been immersed in boiling water to the pimple a couple of times, voilą, the pimple burst and out came the pus to be wiped away with a ball of sterile cotton batten.  <br /><br /> And how's about avocado? I scoop this home cure and beauty treatment out of its peel, mash it up, and gently rub it on my face and around my fingernails for softness and skin nourishment. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+medicines" rel="tag">Natural medicines</a>, home cures, and beauty aids are definitely my idea of fun and economical too!

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ With the advent of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/high+speed+internet" rel="tag">high speed internet</a>/<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/broadband+connections" rel="tag">broadband connections</a> in most homes and business locations in the United States, marketing with videos on the internet exploded. How did this happen and why is it effective? <br /><br /> A mere 20 years ago, we were talking about whether or not we should risk trying to `communicate' on the computerized system created by the Department of Defense (known as the `internet'), and utilized by universities throughout the country as a tool for communication and research. Heads of businesses and agencies at the time resisted the possibility of compromising data traversing through the DOD and university systems. <br /><br /> And then along came Apple computers and Microsoft=85 and the world changed forever. Hardware and software was created, and as soon as product hit the market, Silicon Valley companies began the furious race to make the next product better and more desirable. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/video+marketing" rel="tag">Video marketing</a> on the internet today is no exception. <br /><br /> In a nutshell, video marketing, and constantly improved software and compression, literally brings the salesperson and his spiel to the consumer, at his/her convenience. And use of videos is not limited to a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sales+venue" rel="tag">sales venue</a>. Videos on MySpace and UTube and other social communication sites would clog the airways were it not for high speed internet/<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/broadband+capabilities" rel="tag">broadband capabilities</a>. <br /><br /> But the sales venue is our particular interest. Stop and think about what happened (before the internet was born) when you entered the local grocery store or corner clothing outlet. You were probably greeted (sometimes by name) and then you were given the newest and latest information about what they had available for sale that might interest you. Voila, the internet video. You are greeted (not by name=85yet) and then provided with information that will help you decide if that market or product is something you want or need. The sales pitch is highly refined and designed to capture your interest and imagination. And it is highly effective. <br /><br /> Now, turn the tables and put yourself in the position of the marketer. And dream of the possibilities of internet video sales for your market=85 We will have more on this subject in the next few weeks.   <bio>Sharon Elrod is a copywriter for <a href="http://www.mandarichmediagroup.com" >http://www.mandarichmediagroup.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Many people are aware of the moneymaking potential of the internet but simply don't know where to begin. After all, there is a bewildering variety of internet programs that promise people success, but are later found out to deliver failure. What most people need is a starting point; a place from which they can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/launch" rel="tag">launch</a> their internet career. <br /><br /> The Plug-In Profit System <br /><br /> The Plug-In Profit system was started by a man named Stone Evans. Evans, a self-made <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/internet+entrepreneur" rel="tag">internet entrepreneur</a> in his own right, designed the program so that everyone who joins it will in effect be running his or her online business. The entire concept is set-up so that anyone can, even the newest of the new to internet marketing, can take part in it. By giving the potential user practically every tool he or she needs to succeed, Evans pretty much ensured that everyone who chooses to participate will make his or her share of the money. <br /><br /> The Plug-In Profit System is not complicated. At the core, it is an advertising business, and all you really have to do is to post ads and pull people to buy certain products. You won't even have to write the ads yourself -- they will be provided to you. All that's needed is for people to see the advertisements you've posted, and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voila" rel="tag">voila</a>! There comes your commission check. Nothing could be easier. <br /><br /> When you sign up for the Plug-In Profit System, you will essentially be becoming an affiliate partner for five different <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/affiliate+programs" rel="tag">affiliate programs</a>, and the ads you post will be for their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/benefit" rel="tag">benefit</a>. What is to your benefit, however, is the commission you receive for doing such relatively simple and hassle-free work. The work you'll have to do is much akin to putting up For Sale <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/signs" rel="tag">signs</a>: if you put them up, it is almost guaranteed that someone will come. (The trick, of course, is knowing where to put up the signs.) <br /><br /> What makes the Plug-In Profit System so good for internet beginners is the very low price. You can begin with less than $60 dollars -- a deal which will be very difficult to match anywhere else. Much of the cost will go to building your own webpage, which is an absolute must in this line of work. <br /><br /> If you have no experience whatsoever in internet business but would like to plunge in, the Plug-In Profit system is for you. Not only is this program a great starting point, it can in itself give you the momentum you need to catapult yourself to financial success. It will give you the information and tools that you need to begin, as well as advanced strategies that will help get you where you want to be.   <bio>Merlin Recommends you check out His Site at; <a href="http://www.MerlinsProfitShop.biz" >http://www.MerlinsProfitShop.biz</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ To do effective <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sit+ups" rel="tag">sit ups</a> you will first need to put out of your mind everything that you have heard about sit ups, and get with the new program instead. Although in days gone by it was thought that the most effective sit ups were those which you did by lifting your upper body and bringing it in towards your knees, today the outlook is a different one. <br /><br /> Instead of lifting and bring in your upper body towards your bent knees, you instead lift only partway off the floor without really trying to come in towards your knees. <br /><br /> To do these very effective sit ups, you will need to get into the normal sit up posture, that is, you will need to lie down on the floor and bend your legs, keeping your feet flat on the floor. Bring in your bent legs as close as possible to your body without straining; <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/place+your+hands" rel="tag">place your hands</a> behind your head with your fingers laced together, or keep them lightly on your torso. <br /><br /> To do the sit ups, you will need to use your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/abdominal+muscles" rel="tag">abdominal muscles</a> to lift your body off the floor about six to eight inches. If this is hard to do, try imagining that there's an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/invisible+string" rel="tag">invisible string</a> connecting your belly button with the ceiling, and that every time you lift up, the string is what is lifting you up. You need to keep the string taut and straight, so you cannot bend forward, and you since your belly button is where this invisible string is, you can't use your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/neck+muscles" rel="tag">neck muscles</a> either to do these sit ups. <br /><br /> After a few reps of these you can begin to appreciate that these are indeed very effective sit ups. If you want more of a challenge however, or you just want to vary your routine somewhat to make the most of your need to do sit ups to get a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tight+stomach" rel="tag">tight stomach</a>, there are variations on this type of sit up which you can do, and which are just as effective. <br /><br /> And one of the variations of these abdomen-tightening effective sit ups, is to simply include an exercise ball into your routine. Sit on the ball with your feet planted firmly on the ground, your legs about <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/shoulder+width" rel="tag">shoulder width</a> apart to help you keep your balance. Maneuver yourself and the ball so that it is now underneath the small of your back, or in other words, you need to be lying on the ball with your torso parallel with the floor, and your legs keeping you balanced. <br /><br /> Place your hands behind the head and using the same muscles as earlier, crunch your ab muscles to pull your entire upper body between six to eight inches above the horizontal. To really feel the burn with these highly effective sit ups, when lowering your upper body back down again into position, go below the horizontal line by a few inches, before raising yourself up once more into the crunch. And Voila! you're done!   <bio><a href="http://www.healtharticles-lk.com" >http://www.healtharticles-lk.com</a> , <a href="http://www.easyhomeremedy.com" >http://www.easyhomeremedy.com</a> , <a href="http://www.herbalremedieslk.com" >http://www.herbalremedieslk.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Question: How can I get long-term advertising for my Direct Sales website without spending a fortune? <br /><br /> Signed, Direct Sales <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mom" rel="tag">Mom</a> <br /><br /> Dear Direct Sales Mom,  Very often, people in Direct Sales don't realize they can benefit from the same methods of internet marketing that other online businesses use. Writing and submitting articles is one of those methods of marketing that is extremely effective for Direct Sales businesses. <br /><br /> If you're unfamiliar with the way <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/article+marketing" rel="tag">article marketing</a> works, basically, you write and give away helpful, informative articles. Why would you work so hard and give away your information? Look at the bottom of this article. There you'll see my name and a brief bit of information about what I do. I didn't pay for that advertising. It's free. <br /><br /> So, how does it work? You write an article about a topic that you are interested in -- usually one that relates in some way to your business. If you sell makeup, there's no point in writing about forest fires. So, show your expertise and share your love of what you do in a brief article. Then you'll want to find article <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/directories" rel="tag">directories</a> that will accept your article. You'll submit your articles to the directories, including your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/author+bio" rel="tag">author bio</a> and a link to your website. <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/website+publishers" rel="tag">Website publishers</a>, blog owners, and ezine publishers will search the directories and find interesting articles to share with their readers. When they use one of your articles, they'll include your author bio at the end with a clickable link to your website. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/voila" rel="tag">Voila</a>. You just scored some free traffic. <br /><br /> As long as your company allows you to link to your website, (and I realize that some don't) -- you can use article writing to grow your customer list and your team. <br /><br /> If your company does not allow links to your website, you may be able to set up a lead generation page to get people's information. Or you can send them to a newsletter sign up page where you can get them on a list where you may talk more freely about your products in your newsletter. Just be sure to check with your company policies and procedures before investing too much time and energy into writing articles. <br /><br /> Now get writing!   About The Author: Nicole Dean doesn't pay for advertising -- ever. She uses Article Marketing to get free advertising on websites and in newsletters worldwide. You can use articles to get free traffic, too. Visit <a href="http://www.EasyArticleMarketing.com">http://www.EasyArticleMarketing.com</a> to find out how. ]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Every <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/traffic+exchange" rel="tag">traffic exchange</a> and program on the planet gives you a URL to promote. You may not be interested in promoting every one, but you may still want to have those <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/urls" rel="tag">URLs</a> in a place that's easy to find. <br /><br /> Why is that? <br /><br /> Well, if you belong to traffic exchanges, most of them have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/downline+builder" rel="tag">downline builder</a>s, right? So, even if you don't belong to a dedicated downline builder, you'll still need your usernames and affiliate links at some point and it's great to have that information at your fingertips. <br /><br /> My solution is to build a table in Word or any other word processor with table-making capability. You need only two columns. The first column is for the program or traffic exchange's name, and the second is for the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/affiliate+url" rel="tag">affiliate URL</a>. <br /><br /> I also list my banners in their respective blocks. However, when adding a banner, I color it blue. You can color it magenta. It doesn't matter. Just so it sticks out as being different from the affiliate links. <br /><br /> Other URLs I might add for the same program might be shortcuts, as with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tinyurl" rel="tag">TinyURL</a>. Or tracking links, as with LinkBrander. And, I color them differently, too. You'll be amazed at how big a difference coloring links is. It will save you lots of time in the long run. You won't have to read the whole URL to see what it relates to, only choose the right color. <br /><br /> Beside these URLs, I often add descriptions. For instance, I belong to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/marlon+sanders" rel="tag">Marlon Sanders</a>' <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/affiliate+program" rel="tag">affiliate program</a>, and he has umpteen products to sell. So, next to each of my affiliate URLs, I describe the product it relates to with a short keyword or two in parentheses. <br /><br /> You can type all of this information into your table in any order. When you've finished, click on the first column and then go to "Table" in the top toolbar and then, "Sort." Your programs and respective URLs will then be in alphabetical order, making finding your URLs very easy. <br /><br /> After your table is complete and sorted, save your document. Then, go to your Start menu, click the icon for My Documents and navigate to your table. Drag the icon for it to your desktop. Each time a program asks for a URL or you need one to plug into a traffic exchange for advertising or another for a downline builder, the link will be right at your fingertips. Voila! <br /><br /> I've been using this system for almost three years and it works very well for me. Try it. I hope it works well for you, too.   <bio>Pat Marcello writes books involving tons of research and knows well how to organize.
