Back to School on a Shoestring Budget [notebook computer budget]
Back to school: three words that fill every child with dread and every parent with joy. Whether your little one is just starting school, or you’ve got a fashion-hungry teen on your hands, here are six easy ways to maximize your back to school budget – while still being the “cool” parent:
1. Every child, no matter what age, looks forward to having something new to start the first day off right. Even if you can’t afford much, a new spiral notebook featuring the hottest cartoon character, or some zany-looking pencils will be just the ticket to getting your child excited about school again.[notebook computer budget]
2. If your child has a creative streak, get some brightly-colored paper, scissors and stickers and let them have a blast giving their book covers and notebooks a “makeover”. Several budget-minded art and craft ideas to help make the old stuff new again are available online at:

3. Every child wants to look trendy at school – but the latest fashions may be too risqué or expensive. Work with your son or daughter to strike a compromise while letting them appear to remain in control of their fashion decisions. Setting a budget beforehand and letting your child be in control of what gets spent when, and how, not only teaches them valuable budgeting skills, but it also opens the door for comparison shopping and deciding between needs and wants.
4. At the end of the first day (for youngsters just starting back) or the end of the first week (for teens and tweens), plan a special surprise to reward your child for making it through. It could be something as simple as a Friday night pizza and movie marathon or taking them out for ice cream sundaes.[notebook computer budget]
5. Take shorter back-to-school shopping trips (yes, I said trips – as in more than one!) The longer you spend at the office supply store or the mall, the more everything begins to look like a bargain. This makes it temptingly easy to go over budget and spend unnecessarily.
6. Buy your child one or two “must-have” outfits for the first couple of days and save the rest for the following week or so. By that time, they’ll have seen what their peers are wearing (which only adds to their “gotta-have-it” list), and thankfully most retailers will have marked down their prices considerably once the back-to-school stampede is over, making your hard-earned money go farther than before.
In the end, trends are going to be trends no matter how odd or silly they look, and chances are, your child is at that age where walking into the classroom with last year’s style seems like a fate worse than death. By keeping these tips in mind as you browse the aisles, you’ll not only keep the kids looking cool, but you’ll teach them valuable shopping, comparison and organizational skills as well. Good luck!

Determining the Effectiveness of Sales Letters
Determining the Effectiveness of Sales Letters [computer notebook guide]
So you've finally written your first sales letter. You introduced your product or service, outlined the benefits and features of the product or service, compared the product or service to your competitor's and developed a catchy closing that convinced readers to make a purchase. Maybe you even used some advanced copywriting tricks like using customer testimonials or offering a risk-free guarantee. But how do you know that all that hard work is paying off? If you have several advertising and marketing programs running at the same time, you won't know if your sales letter was worth the effort unless you keep track of the results.
The first way to help keep track of your sales letter results is to keep a log of the sales letters you have sent out. If you have several sales letters being mailed in the same period, list each letter, the niche market it was targeting and the date it was mailed in a notebook or in your computer's word processing program. Before you mail each letter, place a code on the return envelope or within the letter that is specific to each individual letter. If you have three letters, you might mark them 'SL1,' 'SL2' and 'SL3' to help you keep track of the results. If you don't include a return envelope with your sales letter, use the code within the text of the letter and ask customers to refer to that specific code when ordering your product or service. For example, your sales letter may include a sentence that says, 'Please refer to discount code SL1 when placing your order.' When customers let you know that they are responding to a specific sales letter, make a note of that in your sales letter log. You might use a simple checkmark each time the letter generates an inquiry. You can also include more detailed information such as response date, dollar value of sales generated from the inquiry and other sales tracking information. [computer notebook guide]
If a customer volunteers the information that a sales letter was persuasive and effectively led them to purchase your product or service, ask the customer what specifically helped them to make their decision. Ask the customer if the graphics were appealing, if the text was persuasive, or if the customer testimonials were convincing enough to sway the purchasing decision. If you have included a money-back guarantee or other risk-free offer within the sales letter, ask your customers how much of an influence this guarantee had on their decision to make a purchase. You can keep track of your customers' responses to these questions in your sales letter log and make note of what has worked and what has not. When you sit down to write your next sales letters, you'll know whether you need to liven up some of your boring text or stop using a certain promotional tool. If customer testimonials have been effective, you'll know to include them in your next letter. This is why keeping track of the results generated by each sales letter will help you to save time and boost sales.[computer notebook guide]

Ideas Plus Action Equals Success
Ideas Plus Action Equals Success [computer notebook guide]
Ideas are wonderful. They inspire you to do things, and they are the kernels of huge opportunities that will bring you the greatest results in life you could ever imagine.
But ideas do not stand alone. You have to take action on those ideas to make more money and improve your level of success.
Being open-minded will bring you all the ideas you want. It's good to keep a notebook with you at all times to write down those ideas, because that is what will allow you to keep track of the brilliant moments that could mean a future multi-million dollar success.
Ideas come whether you expect them or not. They especially like to come when you're about to fall asleep or about to wake up, in what is often referred to as the "trance state".
How often have you been in that state and thought, "I can remember that idea. That one's a no-brainer. There's no way I'll forget that!"
And then you wake up, and what happened? You forgot the idea. [computer notebook guide]
If you keep a notebook beside your bed, you can jot down those ideas when they come to you, and keep track of them for future reference. Then allow your subconscious to continue working on them while you sleep.
Just try to write legibly, or you'll have no idea what you wrote when you do look at your notebook.
Also keep a notebook, or preferably a voice recorder, in your car. Don't write or record while driving, of course -- but at the next red light, or when you're stuck in stop-and-go traffic, make creative use of your time by recording the ideas that come to you!
And how about on your desk? You need a place to jot down those ideas that are going to help you break out of the rat race, lose the J.O.B. and start making a real income on your own, if that's what you dream of doing.
After all, they say once you find the work you love, you'll never work another day in your life again. You'll work, but it won't feel like work because you'll love it. [computer notebook guide]
Now once you have these brilliant ideas jotted down or recorded, you can't stop there. Now it's time to take action, or that great idea will just go to the next person who will.
Have you ever had an idea you thought would make a million dollars, but didn't take action on it... and then someone else came out with the exact same thing and DID make a million on it? That's why you need to take action.
Figure out what resources you need to make it work. If you don't have those resources, how can you get them? If you can't get them yourself, who do you know or who can you find that will share them for a piece of the action?
Not every idea is worth acting on, of course. But you'll know by looking over your list of notes which ones are going to be the ones for you to do.
Then bring the process full circle by taking inspired action on your brilliant ideas, and making them pay off as they should.
