Convergence is just another word for nothing new to promote. Are all marketers liars? Only if they aren't telling stories you want to believe. Buyer beware, we are all emotionally needy and Web 3.0, bandied about faster than croatin oil through a widow woman, extends the promise of a more fluid life.

Freddie Mac NYSE:FRE - MarketClub Video Lesson
Freddie Mac NYSE:FRE - MarketClub Video Lesson
In the video above Brad Stafford gives his personal and technical analysis
on Freddie Mac (NYSE_FRE) after he spent time listening to their conference call and then studying the charts.
This morning, at 10AM est, the Freddie Mac team addressed what was a
packed conference call to report their earnings for Q3 and project where Freddie Mac will end up.
Overall the tone from management was optimistic...but understandable so as shareholders have
been clamoring to know how management will fix what the sub-prime mess really made on Freddie Mac. But to shareholders and casual observers alike, they knew the outlook for Q4 was grim.
One presenter noted; "Q4 will be a lot like Q4". Does that mean another
25.00 per share drop? The video analysis will help traders understand the conference call a little
better along with explaining how trading with the trends in ANY market can be profitable.

HOW TO GET YOUR BUSINESS CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING
The Key to Conversion is "Write A Better Article"
Here is a good example from Matt Bacak
HOW TO GET YOUR BUSINESS CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING
Copyright 2006 The Powerful Promoter
Creativity, Originality, Imaginative thinking�
You've no doubt heard about thinking outside the box. Very often, business creativity is referred to as thinking outside the box. You can get locked in to your day-to-day operational thinking inside the box, and forget totally about the requirements of the need for business creativity. It is very easy to lose sight of adding creativity to your business while you work daily at accomplishing nearby goals.
Ways to Promote Creativity Within Your Business
1. Examine the assumption that the way your company does things is the only way to go. The counter argument to any new way of creative thinking in your business will likely be, but it's always been done this way! Employees become comfortable with the way the business operates, and some may not embrace change very easily. Creativity means change. You can begin to challenge your fixed business methods by meeting with key employees and managers to brainstorm new thinking. Start your change process slowly; remembering that it probably took a while for your employees to be comfortable with their present way of accomplishing their tasks and change will take time.
2. At the brainstorming session, be sure to make the first few meetings comfortable ones. Nothing stifles business creativity more than a threatening atmosphere of �we will make change no matter what�! It may take a few casual breakfast meetings to instil the beginnings of this new approach. You will soon discover who are the �pros� and the �cons� within this process change. You can choose team leaders for creative thinking within the company, from the supporters of your new process.
3. Consider bringing in an outside expert on business creativity to hold a company wide seminar to start people thinking that maybe creative change is not necessarily threatening, but a way to guarantee continuing growth for the company and more secure employment. Ask the creative consultant to show examples of positive change and to hold breakout sessions with the staff involving workshops practicing creative thinking.
4. Next, you will need to identify which creative ideas that have come forward will be the most advantageous for you. This could be something as simple a slight change in the way you process your invoicing or as complex as introducing a completely new product line that you previously hadn�t pursued, but came to light as a possibility during one of your brainstorming sessions. Another example is if one of your key employees came up with �think Global�, so you are now seriously considering an overseas office. Once you have developed and prioritized, your list of creative thinking ideas you are going to act on, it is time to move to the implementation phase!
5. It�s one thing to accomplish creative thinking, but it is another to install a working group to implement this new approach. It has to be made clear to all, that management supports the process amendments that have come about as a result of the creative business workshops and you fully expect similar support from all involved. Assemble your implementation team with a good cross section of the involved departments and include both the positive supporters and the naysayers. Monitor implementation of changes and keep in mind that creative thinking should become a regular routine, making thinking outside the box an insider thing!

Customize Your Own Pre-Monetized E-Super Store
Most shopping cart solutions are too complicated and too expensive. They take weeks to setup and require computer skills most people don't have. MyShopKart is for people who have no technical skills, want results quickly and have to work on a tight budget. I almost bought SiteBuildIt's E-store recommendation but it cost $700. I trust Ken Evoy's assessments of "quality" but the learning curve is what killed it for me.
Instead I bought Armand Melanson's "MyShopKart" for pennies on the dollar. It starts out up and running with products you can sell and lots of room to add your own products , services, categories etc. It takes all kinds of transactions and suits my e-store monetization needs just fine.
Let me know what works for you.
