"Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man
hardly knows whether he is an honest man."

Online Business Press Release Writing Tips And Ideas
Press releases are one of the most cost-effective ways to
get promotion for your online business. Many entrepreneurs
ignore this type of promotion because they don't know how
to write a press release. It's important to promote your online
business with press releases because of the media all over the
internet. The following is a list of some common press
release writing tips:
- your press release should sound like news, not an ad
- you should only send your press release to the media
related to the topic of your press release
- keep your press release one page in length
- your header, contact information and release date should
be at the top of your press release
- use short sentences and double space in between
sentences
- your header and first few sentences should capture the
readers attention
- you should tell a story and briefly mention your business,
product or service in the body of the press release
- proofread your press release many times. Look for
grammar and spelling mistakes.
Another reason entrepreneurs ignore promoting their online
business with press releases is because they don't know
what's newsworthy. Here are 16 online business press
release ideas:
- new products or services you're offering on your web site.
- the results of an online survey or poll you've completed
- a virtual trade show or seminar you're hosting.
- a free chat room class you're teaching
- your opening of a new web site
- an online award your business or web site has won
- a free e-mail newsletter you're publishing
- new online products or services you're giving away
- an online business association or club you're starting
- a famous person that's endorsing your business
- a major joint venture you're doing with another business
- a new book or e-book you wrote
- an expert or celebrity who's speaking in your chat room
- a fundraising event you're doing at your web site
- a new contest or sweepstakes you're having at your site
- major sponsorships you're doing online
You can get other press release writing tips and ideas by

Great Quotes
"I have only just a minute,
Only sixty seconds in it
Forced upon me, can’t refuse it,
Didn’t seek it,
Didn’t choose it
But it’s up to me to use it
I must suffer if I lose it
Give account if I abuse it
Just a tiny little minute
But an eternity is in it!"
-Dr. Benjamin Mays

New Ways To Get More Traffic
Viral Traffic Seeds is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and site advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test...
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.
The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Viral Traffic Seeds" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Viral Traffic Seeds Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!
After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Viral Traffic Seeds link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Viral Traffic Seeds link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Viral Traffic Seeds. So if anyone clicks the Viral Traffic Seeds image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.
Now every time the ad window displays (your Viral Traffic Seeds links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.
And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Viral Traffic Seeds (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Viral Traffic Seeds image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Viral Traffic Seeds also.
I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Viral Traffic Seeds even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Viral Traffic Seeds really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Viral Traffic Seeds. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase web traffic and site advertising.

New Trains Replace Old at Malaga
The Costa Del Sol coastal railway line (C1 Cercanias line) between Malaga and Fuengirola has seen its last UT-446 EMU train now that RENFE the Spanish rail operator has replaced the entire fleet with new modern and comfortable Civia units. The Civia units can carry more passengers and are more wheelchair friendly. The UT-4 have been in service on the C1 line since 1989. The new Civia trains can reach a speed of 120 kilometres per hour nad have room for 600 passengers.I recently travelled on the new trains and they are a big improvement on the old ones.

Great Quotes
"There is a time in every man's education when he arrives
at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is
suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse,
as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of
good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but
through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is
given to him to till. The power that resides in him is new
in Nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can
do, nor does he know until he has tried."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Online Auctions
We all like an auction, here are 10 Things You Should Know Before You Bid On A
Business Product From An Online Auction
1. Know the value of the product before you bid. If
the product is brand new, check to see what price
retailers are charging for it. If the product is used or
reconditioned, you will want to pay way less than the
retail value.
2. If the product's description or picture isn't detailed
enough for you, contact the merchant to get more
information before you bid. You don't want to take a
chance to waste your hard earned money.
3. Know the highest price you will bid for the product
and stick with it. Don't get caught up in a bidding war;
you may end up paying more than the product's worth.
Don't forget to add in the shipping price with your bid.
4. Visit a few online auctions before bidding because
some merchants auction the same product in many
auctions. You usually can purchase the product for
a lower price in a unpopular auction because there
are less bidders.
5. Know the time the auction begins and ends. You
also want to know how long it will take to ship. If
you need the product by a certain date, you'll want
to estimate the time it will take to receive it.
6. Know the payment options the merchant accepts
before you bid on their product. If they only accept
checks or money orders, it may take even longer to
get the product because the payment has to clear. If
they accept credit cards make sure they have a secure
server.
7. Know if the merchant offers a warranty or money
back guarantee or before bidding on a product. You
don't want to get stuck with a product that does not
work or you're not satisfied with.
8. Online auctions will, sometimes, allow you to check
the merchants history with their auction. Check to see
if people have complained about the their products or
business practices before you decide to bid.
9. It's important to place a bid early in the auction to
show other bidders you are interested in the product.
If someone does out bid you, don't be afraid to out
bid them. Remember not to go over your maximum
bid price.
10. Another reason to know when the auction ends;
you can place a last minute bid. The other bidders
may not be keeping track of when the auction ends
or may not have the time to bid again.
