    How is Advertising Personal Training Made Simpler?

    Written by MorganLe on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 in Marketing.

    When it comes to advertising personal training, a difficult task lies ahead. If you do not get your message clearly across or you reach the incorrect market, the whole goal behind advertising, which is to gain a huge client base, is lost. Personal training requires a determined personality. Getting your customers interested means that advertising once is not sufficient and you might need to keep bringing them the message.

    Motivation is needed for those who are just not that keen on exercising as it is not tops on their ‘to do’ list. You can spend your time trying to reach this group but advertising to those who enjoy exercising or even those who don’t, is just as important.

    Marketing yourself is vital when advertising your personal training service. Your looks play an important role but the way you build relations with people helps the advertising process as well. When advertising as a personal trainer remember to suite the title. People will only take you serious if you follow what you teach. This is achieved through eating right and keeping fit. You are the first thing your customer will see regardless of what you say and so your message will not have any meaning if your body does not look great.

    Become known when advertising your personal training service. It is important your customers trust and know the product, you. You can ensure that your clients feel relaxed and trusting about your service by being social and bonding with people. By being social, people you talk to will potentially spread your message about your service to others. The amount of clients you will gather will grow immensely as an advantage. Talking to one person has the effect of your message reaching about three others. An increase in customers means an increase in money.

    Sometimes word of mouth is not enough for marketing and so it might be a good idea to invest money into advertising. Magazines and TV will charge you for spaces to advertise.

    The advertising in the long run will pay off as you reach more customers. Paid advertising however means that you need to strategically not only convey the message about your service but let your clients know how your personal training will benefit them.You will have to encourage people whilst trying to make a sale.

    Excitement about your personal training service is also helpful when advertising. Your customers will pick up on this enthusiasm. When Your customers pick up on your personal training service you need to make sure that you are also following up on all of your services, offering them to your full potential because in the end, your clients want to see results.

    Because building a client base can be slow you may need to offer promotions such as free training just to get started and so that people trust you more. Do not worry however; you won’t lose out on money. The result of these freebies means that others will also hear about your service and marketing and money increases.

    When advertising personal training you need to offer all of your personal training services to your clients can be the best thing that you can do for your personal training business. Kickbacklife.com is a great resource for how to get personal training clients.

    Through Freight Trains and Local Freight Trains

    Written by ANutt on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 in Business.

    Ever since the train was invented as a beneficial mode of transport, people have been using freight trains for shipping goods such as food, fuel, large cargo, bulk, containers, specialized cars, and more. Freight trains are used specifically to transport cargo. There are a number of benefits to using a freight train to transport products, especially with their ability to transport large and heavy items. A single powerful train can pull a very long train of freight cars over great distances and terrain. They usually contain at least one engine and a string of train cars which are joined together. People use trains to transport freight all over the world. Freight transport by rail is more economical and energy efficient than by road, especially over long distances. Freight trains are less flexible than road transport because they run on a specific track, and much freight transported has been transferred from rail to road or sea. Costs for shipping by train are usually lower than air freight or truck freight. Two types of freight trains that used to ship cargo are the Through Freight Train and the Local Freight Train.

    If a train travels through one or more terminals before it arrives at its final stop, it is referred to as a Through Freight Train because it has run through the terminals without loading or unloading cargo. Sometimes the train crew is replaced at one of these terminals, but the train itself still continues to its final destination. A “through” freight train will only stop at the scheduled final destination and nowhere else along the route. A through freight travels across a subdivision without stopping. Long distance bulk freight such as coal, steel, and vehicle parts are usually transported using through freight trains.

    Local Freight Trains consists of a collection and distribution system where freight cars are left with the shippers. For instance, if a freight car is scheduled to pick up a large quantify of bulk material from a processing plant, empty cars will be dropped off and the workers at the plant will load the cars with the material. Once loaded, the train will return, reattach the cars, and continue to transport the material to its scheduled destination. It can also work the other way where the train drops off loaded bulk cargo and returns to pick up the empty cars after the material has been removed. This type of operation can usually be found in such areas as the pulp and paper mills and the coal industry. The process usually takes place at all hours of the day and night. A local freight train can stop at almost most every small town along its route. Also, local freights might travel within a single urban area or between two manufacturing plants. A local freight train will transport just about anything and will stop to pick up or set out cars along the route. Local freight will travel for short distances such as between dock yards and factories, warehouses, goods depots, etc.

    With the increase in trucking, shipping, and flying transportation industry, many rail freight companies have changed their methods of operation in order to compete. Many companies now use a combination of transport methods to ship their goods that includes the use of freight trains. This ensures that products are shipped and received more quickly and efficiently.

    With the growing concern about climate change, businesses are realizing that transport by train is a very energy efficient method of shipping goods. The train is an old method of travel with innovative ideas for the future of transportation.

    Canada’s largest courier delivery services company provides same day shipping, air freight, international shipping and offers a range of choices and international shipping quote to help meet all your shipping needs.

    Fatal Branding Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

    Written by NazDaud on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 in Business.

    In launching a new business, branding can often be an aspect given far less attention than it really deserves, and this can cause a number of problems and issues in the future. The brand of a product or service, or the company as a whole, can make a huge difference as far as its success is concerned. Think of the many brands which are clearly in the general public’s consciousness, and then ask yourself, how they managed to get there.

    In some cases, it is simply as a result of longevity. Naturally, major brands or companies which have been around for many years have become well known, and household names. But there are many new companies, organizations and services available which have not been around for very long at all, and yet they have already achieved a high level of status and recognition.

    The most successful companies, including offline and online home businesses, put a great deal of time, effort and attention into their branding, and will include marketing and advertising into the discussion to try to ensure that the product is as successful as possible.

    Branding can be everything from the name of the product or company, the logo, and any attributes such as color themes, styles, physical appearances and slogans. These need to work together, without being too complicated.

    When it comes to a successful brand, simplicity is often the key. Sometimes the very complicated graphics, or difficult names, can be forgotten or ignored too easily. The simplest graphics, slogans and names can often become very popular, simply because they are so easy to remember and to recognize.

    If you think of logos first of all, which brands jump to mind? Often it is the simple, clear, distinct logos which are most easily remembered, such as Nike, for example. Although there are successful logos which are at the same time quite complex, they tend to be in the minority, and have another aspect to them which is simple, in order to compensate for it. The Coca Cola logo is rather more complex than Nike’s tick, yet the colours are limited to red and white, with a distinctive font.

    Branding involves a wide range of aspects, the name being one which is of most importance. Remembering a logo, or a slogan, or even a color theme, without being able to remember the actual product or business name, is of no use whatsoever. Any logo or slogan needs to be able to bring the product or business name to mind, otherwise the branding has failed.

    But thinking of a clever brand name is fraught with challenges. How do you come up with a name which is memorable, easy to pronounce, even if your customers don’t speak the same language as you, and at the same time, encourages associations which are positive and relevant?

    When deciding on a good brand name for a product, there are a few golden rules. Firstly, avoid trying to cash in on a rival’s success by emulating their brand name, or copying or adapting it in a way which is clearly recognizable. Although this has been done before, and occasionally with a measure of success, it is best to avoid it for a number of reasons.

    Associating yourself too closely with a rival could result in people thinking you are the other company, and remembering your advertising, but their product. You might also find yourself beset with legal challenges and infringement of copyright issues. Not only that, but what would you do if there was a scandal, or problem with the company you were trying to piggy back a ride on?

    The general public has tired of words such as ‘mega’, and other related superlatives. The trouble with superlatives is that they can be too frequently abused and, like a medicine or drug, they become accepted, and eventually ignored and unnoticed. If your first product is a ‘mega’, and then you bring out an improved model, what superlative will you use next? And after that? Eventually it can become absurd, with products branded as new, and improved, mega super products that begin to sound slightly desperate.

    Be aware also that when people are searching the web for products or services such as yours, the name needs to be clearly associated with the type of product or service. Think about the keywords you’ll be using. If you’re selling web hosting, then try to include the words web, hosting, or other technology related words in the brand name, since most searches will be based on these.

    Branding is a tricky area, and needs to be treated with caution and care, and given enough attention, without overworking it to the point of unnecessary complexity.

    Customer service is not given the attention it should be given. If there is one aspect of more importance to your business than any other, it is this. This might seem a little of an exaggeration, and you may well consider that your accounts, your products, your marketing or your retail structure are of more importance. But ask yourself one important point- where would any of your accounts, your adverts, your marketing strategies, your prices, products or service be if it wasn’t for the very blood of your business – customers?

    The answer is, of course, precisely nowhere. Customers are the whole purpose of any business or retailer, and there is little point in any of us doing a day’s work if we do not have the customers in the forefront of our minds, and the motivation for whatever we do.

    Too many businesses have targets and performance standards in place, yet all too frequently these can be centered on the business itself, rather than on the customers. Statistics which focus on the sheer volume of sales, profit margins, types of product or service selling well, advertising costs and promotions can all seem rather pointless to those more concerned about the customers themselves.

    It would be true to say that the business which fails to take into account the customer’s needs, wishes, thoughts or concerns is the business people will be talking about in the past tense before too long. Customers can make, or break, a business. And this is a fact becoming ever more apparent and clear in today’s global market, and global economy, with communication now easier and quicker than ever. Good news can travel very quickly, and so can bad news.

    This means that if your customer service is of an excellent quality, helps to resolve the issue, makes it clear that you’re trying hard to resolve the problem, put’s the customer at ease, and keeps promises, rather than using words without any action to follow, then this will almost certainly become known.

    With forums, review sites and discussion boards increasingly popular as a way for customers to share their experiences, treating your customers well, giving them the attention they deserve, the time they need and the answers they want will almost certainly find you listed in these sites with positive comments and reviews. This will, undoubtedly, assist you in the future and good reviews will do you a great favour. More and more customers today are turning to review sites and discussion boards before actually making a purchase or committing to a company. This means that they can share experiences, and in some cases only one or two bad reviews can mean the difference between gaining that customer, and losing them to your competitor.

    Bad reviews are even more prevalent. The sad thing is that a satisfied customer is actually less likely to post a review about a company than a dissatisfied one. This is generally the way we work – if we have a good experience, we’re pleased, but consider that the treatment we received was only what we deserved. After all, the person at the other end of the phone was being paid to be pleasant.

    However, if we experience a bad customer service representative, with poor communication skills, little understanding of the product or service, little effort made to resolve the situation, or failed promises to return calls or escalate issues, then we immediately feel the need to rant, to let off steam, and get back at the company in at least some way. It’s only a natural human reaction.

    For this reason, the vast number of bad reviews on the internet has been written in the heat of the moment, possibly exaggerated, but certainly causing harm to the name of the company about whom they have been written.

    These reviews will very likely stay to hang around the neck of the business for many years. For this reason, if you are setting up a business today, you need to be thinking about your customer service, and putting together plans to make sure it works well for the customer as much as for the business. Then you will stand a better chance of avoiding becoming the target for vindictive reviews that you’ll be unable to do anything about.

    Getting customer service right from the start is a sound business move, and one that can easily work in your favour, just as it could work against you if you cut too many corners. This is equally true for online and offline businesses; for corporate and for home businesses.

    01 Apr the Daily Stock Report

    Written by MitchKing on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 in Marketing.

    The markets were down in the first hour with over 100 points on the Dow30 but after some favorable “economic reports suggesting that the economy may be approaching a bottom,” the Dow reversed by 250 points in the following 2 hours. We are also in a new quarter for the calendar year and mutual fund managers typically buy more aggressively the first few days of the quarter to make their performance figures look better. We are getting more and more positive economic news not that the economy is recovering but that the expected numbers are not as the worst case scenario.

    We also have the emergency G-20 summit that is likely to announce some sort of stimulus agreement between countries and this positive spin is likely to help the market move up the next few days.

    What the trading action does tell us the last two days is the market has some enthusiasm and buying power on the sidelines ready to react to any favorable news. This is a change in sentiment compared to earlier periods these past 5 months where the market was looking for any bad news or any excuse to push the sell button.

    This is what I’ve been explaining recently that we should be looking to see how stocks act in comparison with the positions we’ve taken or with the assumptions we have made about what the stock market should be doing.

    The market is getting enthusiastic or “bouncy” and could keep moving up. The purpose of the short positions with the banks and 2 life insurance companies was for a short period of time, maybe 1-2 weeks but if the market keeps moving up, your hard and mental stop losses might be kicking in.

    Depending upon your own risk tolerance and style of investing or trading, that is what determines how much loss (or give back profit made) you are willing to take. A good general rule for swing trades can be 4-7% stop loss and your potential profit would usually be about 3 times that. So a 3 to 1 profit vs. loss if stopped out, would be the minimum ratio you should be using. The ideal scenario is you have a defined limit of losing $1 but have the potential to make $4.

    So it is looking like these short positions are going to have to be reduced or covered if they continue to climb, especially the stronger ones like JPM, JP Morgan and USB, US Bancorp. The Asian markets are up sharply tonight with Hong Kong up over 5% and Japan over 4% as of this writing.

    More evidence that we could be starting the rally sooner than expected is the “wish list” of stocks below have really moved up the last two days, many of them moving up to higher highs with hardly a recognizable pullback.

    My impression is that tomorrow’s rise in the US markets could put us uncomfortably over our threshold of limited losses. It could be that Monday gave us the lows in these financials after the two down days of last Friday and Monday. The challenge is always going to be with swing or intermediate trades that lasts from days to weeks is to allow a stock to move one way or another which to give it time and space to confirm it is or is not doing what is expected. And you will have to decide for yourself what comfort level or risk tolerance you have to absorb a stock going against you.

    I’ve suggested 4-7% stop losses but depends upon what your style, personality, financial situation and strategy for that stock. I personally have higher risk tolerance and like to give a stock a chance to do what I forecast so it usually involves a larger loss if I am wrong than what many people can take for themselves. Yet at the same time, I am right about a lot of stocks that give a lot of profits, as you can see from the trades on these banks going long, short, long and now short.

    What we have had for months is an underlying potential for stocks to really move up sharply and the talking heads on the financial websites and TV networks have come out of the woodwork saying how many trillions are under peoples’ mattresses available to invest.

    So the sentiment and the talk that is increasing in frequency actually can help build a momentum of buying. That hasn’t happened yet but for months I have had on the bottom of this newsletter that I am expecting some sort of substantial rally that could be caused by the stimulus spending and the initial spark could just be an oversold condition and in the current environment, good news is starting to be rewarded.

    The actual news may not have any substance to it and the overall economic outlook may be bad for another year but the stock market could go into rally mode even with that overhanging dark cloud. My hunch (only an educated guess) is that we could start getting into rally mode but it is really hard to tell right now.

    What to Look Out For When Buying an Internet Franchise

    Written by MatthewFranchise on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 in Internet.

    By and large the franchise industry is full of excellent opportunities to run proven businesses and in all but a very few cases these franchises are there to expand their existing brand and push to have nationwide coverage. However, with the Internet becoming the global phenomenon that it has over the past ten years, with it has came a new type of franchise, one that is based solely on the Internet.

    Although there are of course many successful ways of operating a business on line, there are some internet franchises you have to watch out for and below are a few reasons why.

    1. In many cases, in fact at least 80% of the internet franchises I have looked at, the opportunity has been set up to be an opportunity and has not ran itself as a successful standalone business. The essence of franchising is that you are expanding an existing tried and tested method and many Internet franchises have failed to follow that “essence of franchising”. Although there are successful Internet franchises based around the 2made to franchise” model, there are also many which quite simply cannot meet the promises made in their promotional materials.

    2. Many are multi level marketing schemes masquerading as a franchise. These you have to be particularly wary off, quite simply they sell you a method which in turn is just a document on selling the same method on to someone else. You will get a standard template site, a pdf ebook and a pdf marketing plan which simply documents how you can sell the same package on. although not usually a pricey “franchise” you will find that they are a complete con, conning you and conning the next person that buys it from you. Anything that smells of MLM, run a mile from.

    How to tell a good Internet franchise.

    There are some tricks to identifying an opportunity which is likely to be profitable and keep their promises made in their promotional materials. There are several tools online to help you with this and below are some ways of identifying them.

    If the Internet based franchise relies ion website traffic then:

    1. check their own sites alexa ranking. This will give you an idea of how much traffic their own site is generating. Alexa works like this. The most popular site on the internet will have a low ranking of 1, the least popular of several million, the 1 means it is the most visited website on the internet, the several million means it is the, example, 23rd million most visited site on the internet. Anything less than 1 million means they are getting half way decent website traffic. anything under 200,000 means they run a busy site and anything under 100,000 means they are very very good at what they do. If the franchise you are looking at is based around Internet traffic yet their alexa ranking is several million then they are not doing very well themselves so how are you expected to do well if they cannot?

    2. check their Google Page rank. All sites are given a page rank by google, most small to medium businesses had a page rank of 2 or 3, well establishes sites 3-5. If the site you are looking at has a page rank of 0 or 1 it means they have not been doing much Internet marketing and like the above points, if they cannot market themselves how are you supposed to do it?

    My issue with Internet franchises is simply that there are so many which seem to fail. There are of course many good ones, CityLocal for example is a fantastic franchise with a track record of success, however there have been dozens of franchises trying to emulate what CityLocal have done and they have all failed, taking their franchisees down with them. CityLocal is not the only decent internet franchise out there of course and there are many others, again though it’s a case of weeding the good from the bad. the trick is in the research, ensuring you contact the existing franchisee base and do your on line research well will help you choose a franchise which is profitable and successful in its own right and likely to succeed for you too.

    Jeff Paul’s Internet Millions Scam or Shortcuts?

    Written by MatthewGruenke on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 in Internet.

    It’s late and you are not able to sleep because the stress of your mounting bills and lessening income. Making ends meet is freeking you out and you know that you need to do something more to increase your income.

    You turn the TV on in order to relax and get the stress off your mind. While flipping the channels you come across Jeff Paul Internet Millions Shortcuts infomercial. The answer to all of your financial worries. You may have gotten excited and decided to do some research or you are skeptical with a couple of questions so you do your research on the Jeff Paul’s shortcuts.

    Logically thinking, the flaws in the system are identified easily. Think about it for a moment, what would you do if you came across a means to financial success? Holy cow, you can be a millionaire in only “3 simple clicks”. Would you, keep Jeff Paul’s shortcut to millions system to yourself or would you sell it? If you would sell it, would you sell it for $40? Perhaps not…

    Making money online is truly a reality for many people. There thousands of people right now living the “American Dream” from the income they make from marketing online. Any one of these people will tell you that “3 simple clicks”, is not possible. You have the ability to become an internet success and obtain the more money than you can spend; first, you need to learn about Internet Marketing and then apply the skills correctly.

    Ok, let’s settle this, Jeff Paul states that his Internet Millions Shortcuts cost $40. What he does not tell you is that the $40 is for his “start-up package”. His “start-up package” contains just enough information to get you started; but you will never make money.

    You will be told that it is easy to become a millionaire in a week without doing anything. Get serious, if is so easy, why aren’t there so many more millionaires? Jeff Paul has telemarketers ringing your phone off the hook to sell you huge packages that you need to finally put the pieces together for you. These are not cheap packages; they sell for thousands of dollars.

    I understand how enticing the thought of becoming an overnight-millionaire is or growing your own $100 bill tree; but you need to protect yourself from potential internet scams. Above all else, just stop thinking that an internet business is a magic potion to cure all of your financial troubles. For novice internet business owners, no program, method, or system will deposit thousands of dollars or more in your bank account in a matter of days.

    That is until you learn the fundamental skills and understanding that an online business is just like a brick and mortar business only difference is that business is conducted online without human contact instead of in a building face to face; thus creating wealth will take time, dedication, and desire.

    Deciding to learn the methods and skills while putting forth some effort, will you become successful. Good luck you!

    The Absolute Best and Most Profitable Affiliate Programs to Promote

    Written by LeoEmery on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 in Business.

    This article is going to be short and sweet; this is about making the most amount of money with the most profitable affiliate programs.

    Have you heard of the term “Residual Income” or “Recurring Income”?

    If not, it’s a term that’s used by people in MLM or Network Marketing (same thing different verbiage) when they are presenting their business opportunities.

    Both these terms mean you’re doing the work once and getting paid over and over again.

    This is how MLM’ers make their long term money and that’s how you as an affiliate marketer will be making your long term money.

    First, let’s look at what most affiliates are doing. I want to show you what separates the average affiliate that’s making little or zero money to the ones that are living their financial dreams.

    The Super Affiliate.

    Don’t worry if you’re doing the same things as everyone else is right now, after reading this report that will all change and you will become a SUPER AFFILIATE!!

    Typically, the average Affiliate Marketer heads off to Click Bank or Commission Junction and searches for products that they want to promote.

    They look for products that offer high commissions, 50% or better. Heck, if you’re going to do this you might as well make as much money as possible right?

    Side note: When you choose a product to promote, it’s far easier to promote something you have an interest or basic curiosity about, not something you know nothing about.

    I like hiking, so promoting products and services about hiking is easy for me because it’s something that gets my juices flowing. (Sorry if I just gave you a bad visual)

    However, if I was trying to promote products and services about quilting something I know absolutely zero about and have no interest in learning anything about.

    But I started promoting this affiliate anyway just because it had a high commission available I would probably have only moderate success, simply based on the fact it holds zero interest for me.

    Ok, moving on…

    Now that you’ve found the products and services you want to promote, you’re off to the races marketing these affiliates.

    When you make a sale, you make a commission. However, you only make the one commission for that one sale. You have to start the process all over again.

    One sale and one earned commission.

    One sale and one earned commission.

    One sale and one earned commission.

    Wow, sounds like a lot of work to do over and over and over.

    Why only make one sale and one commission why not take a page for all those MLM’ers and make residual income?

    All you need to do is start promoting affiliate products or services that offer recurring commissions.

    And these affiliate programs would be Membership Sites.

    For example:

    - Dating sites

    - Online gyms

    - Personal trainers

    - Internet Marketing

    - Business in a box

    - Self Improvement

    - Cooking

    - Advertising

    - And so on….

    None of your marketing efforts or advertising strategies changes when promoting membership sites, the only thing that will change is your income.

    Let’s look at some basic math and let’s start getting YOUR juices flowing. (my turn for that visual)

    I’ll be the average affiliate marketer and you will be the Super Affiliate.

    ME: I’m promoting a product that sells for $27, and I get a 50% commission for each sale $13.50. And in my first month I make 100 sales, so I have earned $1350.00.

    YOU: You’re selling a product that has the same price tag of $27, you get the same commission for each sale $13.50, you sell just as many in the first month as I do (100) and you make the same amount of money $1350.00.

    So far no big deal, were making the same money all is well and we are both decide to start looking at that new car.

    Now month two rolls around and here’s where the difference is.

    And I mean a BIG TIME difference.

    ME: Let’s say I am a good marketer and I sell another 100 items. This means I make another $1350.00 in my second month. Not bad most people would jump at making that kind of money online.

    However, here is we separate the average affiliate (me) and the Super Affiliate (you).

    YOU: You’re a good marketer too and you also sell another 100 items and make another $1350.00 in your second month. Not bad good on you (golf clap).

    BUT WAIT!!

    Don’t forget about the first 100 people you sold last month. You also get paid from those sales which means you have another $1350.00 coming to you.

    Plus the $1350.00 you made this month, you have made a total of $2700.00 for your second month.

    Let’s keep with this sales theme where we both make 100 sales per month.

    I will keep earning ONLY $1350.00 per month.

    However the smarty-pants you are. You will be ADDING $1350.00 to your monthly income.

    Month three your income is now $4050

    Month four your income is now $5400

    Month five your income is now $6750

    Month six your income is now $8100

    Are you staring to get the picture?

    Because I am not promoting affiliate programs with recurring commissions, I only made $1350.00 in my second month, and $1350.00 in my third, and $1350.00 in my fourth and so on and so on.

    Because I’m an average affiliate marketer my income does not increase each month.

    Now with that said obviously I can increase my income each month. All I need to do is sell more or promote more then one product or service.

    Nevertheless, I have to do this over and over again just to maintain my monthly income of $1350.00 or to better it. But you will ALWAYS have a head start each month, because your income is recurring.

    Now the example I gave was us living in a perfect world where everyone that is paying for their monthly membership dues will continue to do so month after month.

    Well this is not true, people drop out of programs everyday. Therefore, the chances are those first 100 people you were paid on in the first month will probably be less in the second month.

    SO WHAT!!

    Even if half of them do not continue with their membership dues, that’s still 50 people giving you an addition $675 head start on month number two. Where in month two I’m starting at zero, I have no head start.

    No matter what math you use, promoting affiliate programs with recurring commission are the absolute best and most profitable programs to promote.

    Side Note: One of the resources I use to find affiliates is Click Bank. When you’re searching for affiliates in the click bank marketplace, under the results is a list of information regarding each affiliate, simply look beside “Future $” if there’s no dollar amount there the affiliate offers no recurring commission. If there is a dollar amount they do.

    Raising Dairy Calves: The Importance of Wellness Management

    Written by BillKautz on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 in Business Management.

    When raising dairy calves, the importance of wellness management cannot be overstated. Stressed or ill animals cost the dairy farmer not only with a loss of production, but also with a loss of income. Disease and illness cost production animal industries millions of dollars per year. Healthier animals have improved survival rates, increased production and efficiency, and reduced costs. It is commonly accepted that poor quality colostrum increases the level of depression making the animal more susceptible to viral and/or bacterial infections.

    Common Stresses Dairy Cattle Face

    Cattle, both dairy and beef, have two extremely vulnerable periods during their life span that can dramatically lower production and can even threaten their very survival. The first period of vulnerability occurs during the first hours after the calf is born, when the immune system is still in the developmental stage. Colostrum intake in these first few hours is critical, because it contains antibodies / immunoglobins (Iggs) that provide the calf with protection from disease until its own immune system develops.

    These Iggs circulate throughout the body . The second period of vulnerability is at weaning, especially in the case of beef calves. During this time, calves experience changes in everything from their environment to their feed and water. “Weaning slump” is a term often used to describe the growth and health problems associated with this period. Not only is there a growth and development slow-down during this time due to decreased feed intake, but also, the calf is more susceptible to infections, especially respiratory infections. It can take several weeks for the calf to get over this slump.

    Finally, transport will stress livestock. Contact with people, constraint, and being moved to new environments can add to the number of stressors. The stress of shipping depresses the animals immune system.

    Supplements Can Help

    Fortunately, oral as well as intranasal supplements that boost the calves’ immune systems have been developed. A Wisconsin company offers a line of unique and effective products that provide targeted, broad spectrum immunoglobulins (Iggs) that offer a new level of cost effectiveness, improved health and ease of administration.

    They offer a proprietary system that features four different products to address four different stress periods. The first product, called 1st Bridge is mixed with a calf’s first milk within 6 hours of birth.

    RP-Bridge (intranasal) addresses the response challenges at birth, weaning and times of transition. GT-Bridge is an oral application, either liquid or dry, that is administered prior to anticipated stress periods. It helps the calf get off to a good start and is delivered by mixing with milk or a milk replacer.. The last product is LT-Bridge. This product can be added to the transition diet, as well as to any adaptation diet to help bridge the gap when calves or heifers subject to upcoming production challenges or new environments.

    These products bring together proven science and cutting-edge technology to achieve new levels of calf survival . Included is patented technology that offers an advanced RFID (radio-frequency identification), web-based trace back system for keeping track in real time of each step of the way in the entire production process, all the way to the end user.

    Targeted, broad-spectrum immunoglobulins in these supplements can improve immunity in commercial animals, reducing mortality and morbidity and reducing the need for medical treatments, which can have a major impact on bottom line profitability. Preventing illness means faster growth and an increase in production as well as production efficiency.

    Using cutting edge biotechnology, these products enhance the defensive capabilities of the animals’ immune system in two ways.

    Easy administered, immune enhancing supplements, given within six hours of birth and again prior to the anticipated stresses help the animals get off to a good start and can lead to a healthier herd, increased production, and lower costs.
