This article is geared more to new persons who want to market on the
Internet. If you’re an experienced webmaster, a great newsletter for professionals is sitepronews.com.

TRUST

In my day you had to what is called hard sell until your customer gave
in. It took from 6 to 12 calls to close a deal. I really think you
pushed your product tell the weary customer gave in.

Today on and off line, it doesn’t matter how good of a salesperson you
are, how many times you hit him with your product, the customer is too
savvy to buy something they don’t need. More so on line, as with a click you’re gone.

You have to focus on the customer needs. Communication and ethics now
play bigger role in selling. Learn to see things from a customer’s point of view and take the time to listen. The customer wants questions answered.

The biggest time spend in selling, more so in mail order or on the Internet is developing a relationship with your customer and building trust. If you did a good job in the first two, closing a sale will take the smallest of your time spend with your customer.

I was in the publishing, printing, and mail order business before I retired.
Some of the ways to attract customers to your site, using off line
free sources which are not used as often on the Internet are;

Bulletin boards, regardless of were you live, opportunities abound. You
will find these boards in grocery stores, malls, churches, hospitals,
civic centers.

Mall events, most malls will rent space on week ends were persons could
put up a table to sell their products. Many of them come back every
week end . Check around see if any of them will allow you to place
cards or flyers on their table. Even offer to help at their table
for a couple of hours in exchange.

This goes for the big garage sales, flea markets that are on weekends.
This way you are going to some of the would be Internet Marketers, but
don’t know where or how to start. By being off line you are starting
to build a trust with them.

Try some off line ways to advertise. You will be surprised at the
results.

START PART TIME

Once you dig your way through all the hype, scams and frauds, you find that there is a future in marketing on the Internet. Don’t get carried away and quit your full time job. Start part time from home (which gives you some tax breaks). If you have a room set aside for your Internet marketing, you can write off a percentage of your rent, light, heat etc. Plus any supplies, computer, copier, connection to the Internet.

When you start make sure you wouldn’t be one more of the problems. Check out the governing regulations that effect Internet marketing. Go to; www.ftc.gov.com
Get familiar with the regulations and check out some of the other
helpful links to tips, fraud.

LIGHTSIDE
An employee phones his boss to say he won’t be in for work
because he’s not feeling well.

The boss says, “I would like you to make a better effort to get
to work. When I’m not feeling my best I get my wife to cook a
great breakfast, give me a nice cup of coffee. She then gives me
a big kiss and sends me to work”.

The next day the employee shows up for work.
“looks like you took my advise. What do you think?” said the boss.
“You got a nice house”, said the employee.

FILE TYPES

In addition to HTML files, Google search also supports 12 other formats
such as PDF, Microsoft Office, PostScript, Corel WordPerfect, Lotus
1-2-3, and others.

Additionally, Google also offers the user the ability to "View as HTML,
which allows users to view these files in case the corresponding
software is not installed on the user’s PC. It also eliminates the
hazards of opening a virus-infected document.

ADVANCED NEWS SEARCHES

A offering from Google - Advanced News Search, allows visitors to
scour headlines by date, location, exact phrases or publication. People
can use it retrieve articles from more than 4,500 news outlets
publishing on the Web.

"Windows Vista has over 2,700 new features compared to Windows XP," Yi Fan, manager of local Windows group at Microsoft's China Technology Center (CTC) said in an interview with ZDNet Asia. "Among them, there are 80 features built specifically for the Greater China region, which includes China, Taiwan and Hong Kong."

ATTENTION SENIORS
There are big advantages in using the Internet. You can use
computer and the Internet free. To find public access to
computers and training near you, in Canada call 1 800 268-6608.
It’s A toll free number.

The Community Access Program provides places such as libraries,
schools and community centres, where you can use computers free
and be on the Internet. For information call 1 800 575-9200 or
if you have a computer go to http://cap.ic.gc.ca

Besides keeping in touch with friends and family, many seniors
are finding that they can supplement their pensions by going on line.

Remember if you do plan on going on the internet to earn, research
before you put out any money. Join free, and work your way in
slowly.

Subscribe to a few free newsletters, join a few free forums. Check
it out first before putting out any money. Yes the Internet is full
of scammers, but there are some good chances of earning with firms
who have been around for years.

WARNING

Most people who have been on the Internet for awhile, are becoming a
little more sophisticated, and are not falling for the traditional
scams, phishing. Most no longer get fooled by notices from Banks,
PayPal, Tax Department, lottery.

However phishing has found another way at getting your money. They have
come up with websites offshore, list some products at bargain prices, (small amounts) and even send you the product. Once they have your credit card number, and learn your billing date, they will charge your account with products you did not ordered. By the time you get your billing notice and realize you didn’t order and contact your credit company, they are a long time gone.

More importantly, if someone breaks into your computer, in a few seconds commands by a hacker, can bring headaches. While you may think you are on a secure Web Site, in reality you are in a world of damage.

You could enter the web address for your online banking
and they could reroute you to a "look alike" site, get your
account number and password, and steal your identity - not worth
the risk folks.

I never give out my credit card number other then PayPal. Every time
there is a charge made to my account at PayPal, within seconds I will
receive a e mail from them. Further if I did order a product and didn’t receive it, I know they will credit my account with the amount paid out. Play it save. Check out PayPal it is free to join. More
Information below.

YOUR INTERNET "BANK" PAYPAL
If you buy or sell on the Internet, you need a secure reliable firm
for sending, accepting payments online. Paypal (owed by e bay) is one
of the preferred ways of sending or receiving cash online. You are
notified within minutes when you pay, buy or send money. Never trust
using your cards on the Internet. By the time you get your monthly
statement hundreds of dollars could be charged to your account. Play
it save. Get a free account with PayPal today!
https://www.paypal.com/row/mrb/pal=EMXEHEG6CP2TY

Phishing, as it is called, is the act of sending an e-mail to a user
falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an
attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that
will be used for identity theft.

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, phishers send an e-mail or pop-up message that claims to be from a business or organization that you may deal with — for example, an Internet service provider (ISP), bank, online payment service, or even a government agency. The message may ask you to “update,” “validate,” or “confirm” your account information.

Some phishing e-mails threaten a dire consequence if you don’t respond. The messages direct you to a Web site that looks just like a legitimate organization’s site. But it isn’t. It’s a bogus site whose sole purpose is to trick you into divulging your personal information so the operators can steal your identity and run up bills or commit crimes in your name.

The IRS can use the information, URLs and links in the suspicious e-mails you forward to trace the hosting Web site and alert authorities to help shut down the fraudulent sites. For instructions please go to;

Internet Marketing
New technology and affordable equipment gives access to business
opportunities that were once limited to workers in commercial.

Today anyone with some computer experience and Internet connection can built a good business Internet Marketing. In fact one of the fastest growing segment of home business, is part time Internet Marketing.

www.ftc.gov.com

Get familiar with the regulations and check out some of the other
helpful links to tips, fraud.

If you do want to sell a product for a MLM make sure you check them out. Then you need to get the script that will shorten the URL you are given to promote with, or learn how to clone the URL so your commission is not stolen. Join a couple forums, and ask if anyone could give you the script to be able to do either of the above. Most people in forums will help because it also gives them a plug.

What business do you know (other then an Internet MLM) gets you to pay for their advertising and work for free? You're better off to set up your own web site and promote as a reseller or get and sell your own products. This way you can build up your own list

E BAY
If your just starting out, or you have been trying to make a go as an affiliate with no luck, give eBay a try. Thousands of persons are making a good living selling on eBay. 94% of persons fail on the Internet because they start up with a MLM market.

Every seller must know and follow: What items can and cannot be listed.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/items-ov.html

Items and listings that have the potential of violating certain copyrights, trademarks, or other rights. Intellectual property owners can report listings as part of eBay�s rules about Intellectual Property.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/intellectual-property-ov.html

Actions that are not allowed in listings

http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-ov.html

There are many items around your home, you no longer have use for, but others may want to buy. A friend of mine was a Johnny Cash fan, had a bunch of his records he was going to throw out. His son took them, put them on sale on e bay, and sold most of them at $75. Each. Old books, certain T Shirts, are good sellers. Take a look around your home; you�d be surprised at the stuff you could sell.

LIGHTSIDE
His Living Will
An man and wife were sitting in the living room discussing a �Living Will�. The man states, �I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some person, and fluids from a bottle�. If that ever happens, just pull the plug�.

His wife gets up, unplugs the TV and threw out all the beer.

Wholesale Drop Ship
They offer hundreds of wholesale items that can be drop shipped anywhere in the U.S., Canada and many other countries. You never have to carry any inventory. There is no start up fee, no investments, no contracts and no obligations.

Another way is to find a good drop shipper, and find goods you can sell at a profit. For a good wholesale, drop ship firm check out: http://partners.esources.co.uk/

Start off by checking out the drop shipper. Order a low cost item, and check out their shipping, packing system. Make sure they are not putting their marketing information, etc along with your order.

Learn and Earn. However if your just starting or working part time on the Internet it�s hard to find the time to proper research Internet Marketing information. Check out my articles for Internet information that will help you get started. You will find my articles dating back for a number of years. Just go to http://www.cbestbuys.com and click archives on left side of site.

WEB PAGE TRANSLATION
This feature is particularly helpful if your search has non-English results. Google offers a facility to auto-martially translate a page for you in English. Currently, Google supports Italian, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese languages.

CURRENCY
It's fairly easy to work out a price for your item in another currency. For example if you sell chairs for $35 each in the US and you want a price in British pounds, simply type '35 USD to GBP' and Google will give you a rate.

PROTECT YOUR COMPUTER AND MONEY

Here are a few steps you can take to be on the safe side. If your email program has the option to automatically download attachments, make sure it is turned off.

Check and make sure your Anti Virus is up to date.

If you have to open an attachment, save the file to your computer or a disk.

Manually scan the file using up-to-date Anti Virus.

Remember scammers use fake websites, mail redirects. Before sending any money check it out first. Never just click on the URL provided. Type in the URL manually.

If you receive an email with the heading Paypal, Clickbank etc., asking you to confirm your user, password, remember they already have this information and would not be asking you for it.

Thank you for reading my newsletter. For more information check out my archives, loads of Internet information going back over 6 years.

Besides printing and publishing I have been in the Mail Order Business. Mail Order and Internet Marketing have a lot in common.
Both can be started part time from home, eliminating the cost of an office. Most homes have computers connected to the Internet; hence there is no need for capital investment.

There are thousands of Small Mail Ordered and Internet businesses operating out of homes, apartments, and mobile homes. They don't have a neon sign pointing to their location. It's not because they wish to be secretive, it's just because their customers are worldwide and there is no reason to advertise in this manner.

On the Internet trust is one of your top selling points. More time should be spent building trust then any thing else on the Internet. The next is identifying your prospects� needs, concerns and objections.

New technology and affordable equipment gives access to business opportunities that were once limited to workers in commercial settings. Today anyone with some computer experience and Internet connection can built a good business Internet Marketing. In fact one of the fastest growing segment of home business, is part time Internet Marketing. Before starting any business you should check out the rules and regulations that may affect what and how you�re selling.

Since 1979 the FTC has required business opportunity sellers to provide full disclosure to purchasers. The FTC can bring civil actions against anyone that violate the rule or mislead people with deceptive practices.

A lot of instances business opportunity packages are prices at $495- on the theory the price is below the $500- rule. The FTC can bring action against fraudulent operators not only under the FTC Franchise Rule but also under law regarding mis-representation and deceptive practices.

In your dealings with others, make sure you have proper disclosures as required by law. To be an effective marketer, don't be untruthful, make false, misleading statements. Further remember you are responsible for statements made by the MLM marketer if you are an affiliate selling for them. You too could be charged and fined along with the MLM you are promoting.

To make sure you are following the regulations for advertisements, and other rules and regulations check out the following at FTP.

PROTECT YOUR COMPUTER AND MONEY

Here are a few steps you can take to be on the safe side. If your email program has the option to automatically download attachments, make sure it is turned off.

Check and make sure your Anti Virus is up to date.

If you have to open an attachment, save the file to your computer or a disk.

Manually scan the file using up-to-date Anti Virus.

Remember scammers use fake websites, mail redirects. Before sending any money check it out first. Never just click on the URL provided. Type in the URL manually.

If you receive an email with the heading Paypal, Clickbank etc., asking you to confirm your user, password, remember they already have this information and would not be asking you for it.

The websites are professionally designed, with lot of testimonials from fake satisfied customers, fake security logos. These fake sites appear hosted all over the world.

If you order from one of them, they will take you for your money, but the chances are they will order stuff (which they resell) using your credit card. By the time you receive your statement they are a long time gone.

If you�re buying online, to protect your self use an online banking system like PayPal, (owned by e-Bay). No charge to join, and you get a notice as soon as there is any charge on your account. Most scammers will not use PayPal because of their security system.

Now let�s see if we can get you to grin again by checking out some of these great quotes;

"if we let loggers go in and cut down the trees we wouldn't have a problem with forest fires"- George Bush

I only hope our Premier does not see this. He is just liable to take Mr. Bush's advice. With all the forest fires we have here in BC, Greenpeace would really see some clear-cut.

"that lowdown scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass, and I'm just the one to do it" -A congressional candidate in Texas.

By any chance was Mr Bush ever a candidate in Texas??

My best pick;
"if someone has a bad heart, they plug this jack in at night as
they go to bed and it will monitor their heart throughout the
night. And next morning when they wake up dead, there'll be a
record�- Mark S. Fowler, FCC Chairman.

Just goes to prove we all are humans, make mistakes and when it's
the other person�s slip-up, enjoy it.

Help On Vacation Scam
Individuals' e-mail/or social networking accounts being compromised and used to swindle consumers out of thousands of dollars. Portraying to be the victim, the hacker uses the victim's account to send a notice to their contacts. The notice claims the victim is in immediate need of money due to being robbed of their credit cards, passport, money, and cell phone; leaving them stranded in Vancouver or some other location.

Some claim they only have a few days to pay their hotel bill and promise to reimburse upon their return home. A sense of urgency to help their friend/contact may cause the recipient to fail to validate the claim, increasing the likelihood of them falling for this scam. If you receive a similar notice and are not sure it is a scam, you should always verify the information before sending any money. If you have been a victim of this type of scam or any other Cyber crime, you can report it to the IC3 website at: www.IC3.gov.

This report, which is based upon information from law enforcement and complaints submitted to the IC3, details recent cyber crime trends, new twists to previously existing cyber scams, and announcements.
Mystery Shopper Scam To Evaluate Wire Transfer Services
The IC3 has recently received over 250 complaints reporting a new twist to the online employment scam. The scam involves individuals who responded to online ads or were contacted via e-mail as a result of their resume being posted on job websites.

The perpetrator posed as a research company and requested participants to complete a paid survey regarding services provided at wire transfer locations to improve the effectiveness of the company's money-transfer services.

Complainants were hired and then mailed a cashier's check or money order. They received instructions to cash the check/money order at their local bank, keep a portion as payment, and wire the remaining amount via wire transfer to a designated recipient.

Victims were then asked to immediately e-mail their employer with the transfer number, amount wired, recipient's name and address, and the name of the wire transfer location evaluated.

Upon sending the information, victims received a questionnaire form regarding their overall wire transfer experience to complete and return. Those who did not promptly follow through with the instructions received threatening e-mails stating if they did not respond within 24 hours, their information would be forwarded to the FBI and they could face 25 years in jail.

Shortly after the transactions, victims were informed by their banks that the checks were counterfeit and were held responsible for reimbursing their banks. Most victims owed their bank over $2,500.

Be wary of any unsolicited e-mail, especially those requesting personal information or soliciting the submission of money for any reason. Unsolicited e-mails should not be opened, as they often contain viruses or other malicious software.

BEWARE ANOTHER ONE NASTY
The IC3 continues to receive complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. As previously reported in the IC3 Alert posted December 1, 2010, the typical payday loan scam involves a caller who claims the victim is delinquent on a payday loan and must make payment to avoid legal consequences.
Callers pose as representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies, and claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, or other Internet check-cashing services.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim's home, cell phone, and place of employment in attempts to obtain payment. The callers refuse to provide information regarding the alleged payday loan, provide any documentation, and become abusive when questioned.

The IC3 has recently observed a variation of this scam in which the caller tells the victim there are outstanding warrants for their arrest for non-payment and hacking into a named business with the intent of obtaining customer information. During the perpetration of this crime, the caller demands payment via debit/credit card; in other cases, the caller further instructs victims to obtain a prepaid card to cover the payment.

The high-pressure collection tactics used by the fraudsters have also evolved. In one recent complaint, a person posing as a process server actually made a personal appearance at the victim's place of employment. In another instance a fake process server came to victim's home. In both cases, after claiming to be serving the victim with a court summons, the alleged process server indicated the victim could avoid going to court if the victim provided a debit card number for repayment of the loan.

If you are contacted by someone who is trying to collect a debt that you do not owe, you should:
Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger;

A teacher was getting to know the kids in here class, asking their names, where their dad worked. The little girl answered,� My name is Judy, my father is a postman�. The next child, a boy said, � my name is Paul and my dad is a striptease artist�

The teacher gasped and quickly changed the subject. Later, in the schoolyard, the teacher approached Paul and asked him if it was true that his dad was a striptease artist. Little Paul blushed and said, �no, he�s really a Software Information Director at Microsoft Corp, but I am too embarrassed to tell anyone.�

Domain Information

When a work is in the public domain, it means that the work is free to use without paying royalties.

When the creator of a work dies, the rights to benefit from a work passes to his/her family and continues for 70 years after the creator's death; at that point, the work enters the public domain.

There are many books, movies, newspapers that are in Public Domain. These are no longer cover by copyright and can be used by anyone, fully, or changed to suit the new author.

For example every issue of any magazine, who�s copyright was not renewed in the U.S.A. between the years of 1923 and 1964 becomes Public Domain. Records show only about 1,500 ever renewed their copyrights. Every issue of any magazine whose copyright was not renewed in the 28th year of first publication is now Public Domain.

A work may be in the public domain because:
It was created before copyright laws.
Its copyright protection has expired.
It never had copyright protection or its protection was lost, (example: a work published before March 1, 1989 and did not carry a copyright notice),
It was dedicated to the public domain.

The following items are never covered by copyright:
Works. If created by the U.S. government (except under contract).
Reprints of works in the public domain (but a license may restrict use.)
Ideas, facts, and common property (i.e., calendars and phone books) federal laws and court decisions words, names, slogans and phrases. Most blank forms, discoveries, procedures, and systems (but not the words that describe them.)

Early Images of Canada 550 images
Canadian Illustrated News 4000 half-tone images from 1869-1883

CHRISTMAS SCANS
MERRY CHRISTMAS

A SPECIAL HOLIDAY REPORT

Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the Yule log, the giving of gifts, carollers� who sing while going from house to house, the feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back 4000 years.

In 350 AD Julius1, a Bishop in Rome chooses December 25th, as the
observation of Christmas.

Both Australia's and New Zealand, Christmas occurs during summer and is celebrated at the beach.

Christmas celebration was outlawed in Boston from 1659 to 1681, however residents of Virginia and New York celebrated the Christmas holiday freely.

Christmas was declared a U.S. federal holiday in 1870.

Many public buildings once commonly included Nativity scenes. By doing so the practice led to lawsuits, claiming the government was endorsing a religion.

In 1984 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled a city-owned Christmas display, including a Nativity scene did not violate the First Amendment.

In court, the prosecuting lawyer asked the farmer on the witness stand, �At the scene of the accident, did you tell the policeman you had never felt better in your life?�
�That�s right.� The farmer replied.
�Well, then, how is it that you are now claiming you were seriously injured when my client�s auto hit your wagon�.
The farmer explained. �When the policeman arrived, he went over to my horse, which had a broken leg, and shot him. Then he went over to Rover, my dog, who was banged up, and shot him.
When he asked me how I felt, I just thought under the
circumstances, it was a wise choice of words to say, I�ve never felt better in my live.�

CHRISTMAS SCAM
This is the time of the year for holiday�s main scam. Bogus websites appear offering everything you may want for presents or yourself at bargain prices.

The websites are professionally designed, with lot of testimonials from fake satisfied customers, fake security logos. These fake sites appear hosted all over the world.

If you order from one of them, they will take you for your money, but the chances are they will order stuff (which they resell) using your credit card. By the time you receive your statement they are a long time gone.

If you�re buying online, to protect your self use an online banking system like PayPal, (owned by e-Bay). No charge to join, and you get a notice as soon as there is any charge on your account. Most scammers will not use PayPal because of their security system.

INTERNET INFORMATION

If you intend on making a living on the Internet start out part time. The failing rate on the Internet is over 94 percent, mostly because they buy into the MLM Marketer that promises all you have to do is join as a paid member.

In your dealings with others, make sure you have proper disclosures as required by law. To be an effective marketer, don't be untruthful, make false, misleading statements. Further remember you are responsible for statements made by the MLM marketer if you are an affiliate selling for them. You too could be charged and fined along with the MLM you are promoting.

To make sure you are following the regulations for advertisements, and other rules and regulations check out the following at FTP.
The Applicability of FTC Law to Internet Advertising
Clear and Conspicuous Disclosures in Online Advertisements
* Specific Issues in Applying Certain Rules and Guides to Internet Activities.
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/dotcom/index.html

Found out the hard way that Internet business opportunities are
almost never all they're cracked up to be. The only persons who benefit from the opportunities are the people who start the programs and a few friends at the top.

Seen all those ads with images of luxury cars, boats, and house? This is the image of high life you can have if you join a MLM opportunity.

If you believe the above I have a beautiful famous bridge in San
Francisco I want to sell, cheap, doesn�t wait, today only.

As a newbie to the Internet (joining after years of retirement), with 40 years of successful publishing, printing, business off line, it makes me sick to think people would believe this. Yeh, just join this MLM and in two months you will be building a luxury house next to Bill Gates.

Scams after scam try to make people believe that pyramid selling laws just doesn�t apply to the Internet. Many so-called marketers are not just sneaky, but are out and out liars.

Further, very few offer any sort of resources to help you. To make matters worst, they make you feel like a real "dumbie" by e-mailing you 2 days after joining, wondering why you haven't signed up at the very least 100 members. They make it look like it's your fault you have not yet earned enough to pay for that lot next to Bill Gates.

Their scams have given the Internet a real bad name. Just mention to a friend or work mate about joining or buying something on the Internet. I will bet you 90% will just change the subject or walk away. So many persons got sucked into some of these get rich scams that the average person will not trust the Internet when it comes to buying products, services.

Webmasters who are now on the web work overtime, researching, and
building trust, which enables them to sell on the Internet.

They know success does not come overnight. They have to work hard, be persistent, teachable, research. They have to make the effort and a little bit of cash helps.

If you intend on making a living on the Internet start out part time. The failing rate on the Internet is over 94 percent, mostly because they buy into the MLM Marketer that promises all you have to do is join as a paid member.

Whether you're a buyer or a seller, understanding how Internet auctions work can help you avoid most problems. For full information on auctions check out;

PROTECT YOUR COMPUTER AND MONEY

Here are a few steps you can take to be on the safe side. If your email program has the option to automatically download attachments, make sure it is turned off.

Check and make sure your Anti Virus is up to date.

If you have to open an attachment, save the file to your computer or a disk.
Manually scan the file using up-to-date Anti Virus.

Remember scammers use fake websites, mail redirects. Before sending any money check it out first. Never just click on the URL provided. Type in the URL manually.

If you receive an email with the heading Paypal, Clickbank etc., asking you to confirm your user, password, remember they already have this information and would not be asking you for it.

INTERNET INFORMATION

INTERNET AUCTIONS
Internet auction sites give buyers new and used merchandise from around the world. They give sellers a global storefront from which to market their goods. But the online auction business can be risky business.

Among the thousands of consumer fraud complaints the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) receives every year, those dealing with online auction fraud consistently rank near the top of the list.
The complaints generally deal with late shipments, no shipments, shipments of products that aren't the same quality as advertised. Most complaints involve sellers, but in some cases, the buyers are the subjects.

Most Internet auction sites require buyers and sellers to register and obtain a "user account name and password before they can make bids or place items for bid.

Do not give your user, password to anyone. If you do another person could access your account and buy or sell items without your knowledge. That could damage your online reputation � and eventually, your bank account.

Whether you're a buyer or a seller, understanding how Internet auctions work can help you avoid most problems. For full information on auctions check out;

http://www.domaintools.com/reverse-ip/

http://www.domaintools.com/mark-alert/ when someone uses your trade mark etc.

FAKE CHECKS
You get a response to your ad on your website or auction posting, offering to pay with a cashier's, check. Net day you get a e mail from the buyer informing you he made a mistake writing the check for more than the purchase price, and asks you to wire back the difference after you deposit the check.
The check is counterfeit, but they're good enough to fool unsuspecting bank tellers and increase the balance in your bank account. When the check eventually bounces, you are liable for the entire amount.

Consider using an online payment service instead; they often offer more protection for both you and the buyer. If you choose to accept checks, ask for a check drawn on a bank with a local branch. That way, you can visit personally to make sure the check is valid. If that's not possible, call the bank the check was drawn on (don�t use a phone number given to you by the person who gave you the check). Ask if the check is valid.

Never accept a check for more than your selling price, no matter how tempting the plea or convincing the story. If the buyer sends the incorrect amount, return the check, and don't send the merchandise.

Defragging Hard Drive
It is a function that people seem to ignore. When you ignore it your computer suffers. The best time to do it is when your ready to shut down in the evening. It does take time, and as a rule you can't or should not use your computer until it is finished. Opening a file or if Windows is running a program in the background will cause the program to terminate and restart.

Thank you for reading my Internet Report. If you know of anyone who could use my monthly newsletter, please send them to my website. The report is free, and the more subscribers I have the more information, gifts I can bring you.

Don�t Forget To Thank Mother For Networking on Thanksgiving Day.
Networking is more then shaking hands, and giving out business cards. Forget about the endless networking skills you may have learned at the office. We just have to put the few lessons mother taught us into practice. As a kid we were always in a hurry to find something better. Our mothers taught us patience.
If your in a hurry you miss the value that can be built taking time with building relations in networking. Establishing a relationship by taking time, gives you a solid framework in networking building.

Your mother worked hard as an example. This is one of the better examples in networking she gave you. That's why it is called networking, not sit work. For networking to be successful you have to work hard and put out the effort.

Remember her telling you to share your things with others? Some of our best resources are time, money, and information we are willing to give to the relationship. They appreciate us when we are willing to give to the relationship.

She always made you clean up after yourself. In networking, follow-up is required. Whether it's a promise to meet someone, or just a thank you is one of the most important lessons of networking. These life lessons we learned from mother during childhood are a solid basis's for strong networking skills.
Thank you mother for all your help.

DISCUSION PAPER

�Where you draw the line to protect copyright is very dangerous. This would give security people, who could be designated as any policeman, more licence to pry into your data� was what Darrell Evans, B.C. Freedom of information and privacy had to say about International Copyright agreement seeks to curb piracy.

The ACTA discussion paper was leaked online by Sunshine Media, which runs Wikileaks.org, a whistle- blowing website created to help circulate secret documents, in reference to the federal government�s secretly negotiating an agreement to revamp the international copyright laws that would effect the information on ipods, laptops, et. Illegal.

The ACTA agreement would see Canada join the US and European Union in a coalition against copyright infringement. Border guards and other public security personnel could become copyright police under the deal.

The deal could force Internet service providers to hand over customer information without a court order. The new agreement will likely be tabled at July�s meeting of G8 nations in Tokyo.

PHISHING (protect by using PayPal)

People no longer get fooled by notices from Banks, PayPal, Tax
Department, and Lottery.

However phishing has found another way at getting your money.
They have come up with websites offshore, list some products at
bargain prices, (small amounts) and even send you the product.

date, they will charge your account with products you didn�t
ordered.

By the time you get your billing notice and realize you didn�t
Order and contact your credit company, they are a long time gone.

I never give out my credit card number other then to PayPal.
Every time there is a charge made to my account at PayPal, within
seconds I will receive a e mail from them. Further if I did
order a product and didn�t receive it, I know they will credit my
account with the amount paid out. Play it save. Check out

WEEKS OF FREE INFORMATION
Most of the information listed in my news report took me weeks to collect. It is too much to take in a day. If you�re in Internet marketing, all of it will come in handy one day. I would suggest you make a file, name it �Resources-Web tools�, copy and paste it in the file.

When I first came on the Internet, the only knowledge I had of computer�s is how to turn them on. Period. I figured I had enough business smarts that would keep me from getting scammed.

A fellow who set me up with a web site and host service did scam me. I though he was a great guy to set me up, tell I learned a bit about c panel�s and found out he had it set up so he was getting credit for most of the ads on my site.

If your starting out with your own website, learn about cpanels, and never let anyone other then your self control it.

Malicious Software Removal Tool
The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 for infections by specific, prevalent malicious software-including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom-and helps remove any infection found. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed.

Microsoft releases an updated version of this tool on the second Tuesday of each month, and as needed to respond to security incidents. The tool is available from Microsoft Update, Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center.

Note: The version of the tool delivered by Microsoft Update and Windows Update runs in the background and then reports if an infection is found. If you would like to run this tool more than once a month, use the version on this Web page or install the version that is available in the Download Center.

Because computers can appear to function normally when infected, Microsoft advises you to run this tool even if your computer seems to be fine. You should also use up-to-date antivirus software to help protect your computer from other malicious software.

To download the latest version of this tool, please visit the Microsoft Download Center.

Highjackers, Scammers
Some Scanners are turning from e-mail to using phone calls to scam. They phone their victims and offer free security scans in order to gain access to people's computers, according to Microsoft.

Scammers pretend to be PC security experts from legitimate companies. They call warning of a risky security threat and offering to run a free security check-up. If you take the bait, the scammers gain access to your PC and can capture passwords, financial information.

The amount of money stolen per person ranged from $82 up to $1,560, while the cost of fixing the subsequent damage to the PC was $1,730 on average and as high as $4,800. Be warned. Be suspicious of unsolicited calls or e-mails related to a security problem.

Watch out for malware Mac Defender, also known as Mac Security and Mac Protector. It is a fake antivirus program that is designed to scare people into thinking that their computers are infected with malware and that they have to pay with a credit card to clean the machine.

For more information on how to protect against Mac Defender check the TUAW site and BleepingComputer.com.

Writing for the Internet is very different, then writing a research or term paper. You cater to a specific market; people who do not have the time to spend reading a 1500 word article and find only one or two helpful tips. They are looking for Information that will be easy to understand and people will be able to relate with.

Good English, or fancy technical writing that people would have to consult a dictionary just to grasp your thoughts, are of no help to a person who is marketing on the Internet. You have to create functional articles that will be easy to understand and people will be able to relate with.

People are looking for how to, where to find information that will be helpful in their everyday marketing. They want to find it on one spot if possible and not spend hours looking for it.

Have a list of your contents, keep your writing to short paragraphs intended for easy reading, this will make it helpful for those who don't really have the time and are just scanning for information that is helpful.

Such knowledge should be useful to them and will make them interested in reading your future articles as well as your other products and services.

The odd good joke in the middle of your article helps to break the steady reading of information, and gives the person a chance to have a good laugh too.

NEWS FOR WEBMASTERS
Now if you�re looking for real professional newsletters go to,
SitePro News.
They publish Webmaster reports in regards to tools, resources, search engines. In fact anyone who is working on the Internet will find it very informative.

WORK-AT-HOME SCAMS
Consumers need to be vigilant when seeking employment online. The IC3 continues to receive numerous complaints from individuals who have fallen victim to work-at-home scams.

Victims are often hired to �process payments,� �transfer funds,� or �reship products.� These job scams involve the victims receiving and cashing fraudulent checks, transferring illegally obtained funds for the criminals, or receiving stolen merchandise and shipping it to the criminals.

Other victims sign up to be a �mystery shopper,� receiving fraudulent checks with instructions to cash the checks and wire the funds to �test� a company�s services. Victims are told they will be compensated with a portion of the merchandise or funds.

Work-at-home schemes attract otherwise innocent individuals, causing them to become part of criminal schemes without realizing they are engaging in illegal behavior.

Job scams often provide criminals the opportunity to commit identity theft when victims provide their personal information, sometimes-even bank account information, to their potential �employer.� The criminal/employer can then use the victim�s information to open credit cards, post on-line auctions, register websites, etc., in the victim�s name to commit additional crimes.

LIGHTSIDE
REASONS WHY DOGS DON�T USE COMPUTERS
- Can�t help attacking the screen when they hear, �You�ve
Got Mail�.
- Can�t stick their heads out of Windows XP.
- Carpal Paw Syndrome.
- Too difficult to �Mark� every web site they visit.
- Too hard to read the screen with head cocked to one side.
- Cause dogs aren�t GEEKS!
-
GOOGLE VOICE CHAT
Google voice chat now ties in with their Gmail interface. A real helpful bonus allowing you access from anywhere you have Internet connections. No need to have the program install on any machine you may be working from.

Another great feather is, because of the large email storage space with Gmail you can tie in any other email account you may have.

GOOGLE VIDEO has a selection of TV Shows, Viral Clips, and Movies freely available on Internet. They also have some which need to be purchased.

DROP SHIP
Don't be fooled by the junk drop ship lists that sell for $25 to
$50+ and call themselves drop shippers. Most of these lists are
worthless.

They are resellers, charge you high retail prices, or you are
required to pay a set up fee.
The good true drop shipper will not ask you for a fee. They will
allow you to copy pictures of the products they sell. Prices
are about half you would pay for retail. You can then set your
price. They will not include any of their material and ship
under your label.

Our monthly marketing report publishes free drop ship and safe lists.

More free sites were you could go to check for best places, prices, free software, maps, fun jobs, fraud warnings, and products for cops.

INTERNET INFORMATION

BING
When you need to get a contact phone number for a company, sometimes it takes a while to get to the right page. Bing will give you the number right on the search results page. No need to even visit the website.

If you want a preview of a web page without having to visit the website, Bing shows you the information, just scrolled over the desired search result and a preview box will appear. The text will give a short description of the web page, and shows what other links appear on the page.

GOOGLE ADVANCED NEWS SEARCHES
Google offers Advanced News Search, allows a visitor to scour headlines by date, location, exact phrases or publication. People can use it retrieve articles from more than 4,500 news outlets publishing on the Web.

Check out Google�s official guidelines for quality listings. They offer a re-inclusion request option that will give your business an opportunity to appeal if a listing is removed too.

In some other Google-related news that online businesses and business with websites might be interested in, they have introduced a new Sitemap Generator.

Google is planning to include website load time as one of the Ranking factor in algorithm in 2011. This is not a done deal, but it could be a good idea to check your load speed.

WEB PAGE TRANSLATION
This feature is particularly helpful if your search has non-English results. Google offers a facility to auto-martially translate a page for you in English. Currently, Google supports Italian, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese.

For the best information for your site or to check your competitors for persons who use Google AdWords, try out the Google AdWords Keyword Tool.

LIGHTSIDE
Two guys in a parking lot when one asked the other where he got the B&W he was driving.

The guy answered, �well I was walking up Spring Street when this beautiful lady drove up in this B&W. She got out of the car took off her clothes and said, you can have anything you want, so I took her car.�

The other said. �Good choice; you would look awful in a dress.�

INTERNET AUCTIONS
Internet auction sites give buyers new and used merchandise from around the world. They give sellers a global storefront from which to market their goods. But the online auction business can be risky business.

Among the thousands of consumer fraud complaints the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) receives every year, those dealing with online auction fraud consistently rank near the top of the list.

The complaints generally deal with late shipments, no shipments, shipments of products that aren't the same quality as advertised. Most complaints involve sellers, but in some cases, the buyers are the subjects.

Most Internet auction sites require buyers and sellers to register and obtain a "user account name and password before they can make bids or place items for bid.

Do not give your user, password to anyone. If you do another person could access your account and buy or sell items without your knowledge. That could damage your online reputation � and eventually, your bank account.

Whether you're a buyer or a seller, understanding how Internet auctions work can help you avoid most problems. For full information on auctions check out;

New Tax Law
California became the latest of several U.S. states to have passed a law requiring sales taxes to be applied to online purchases, also referred to as Amazon tax because the e-commerce giant is tied up in several lawsuits throughout the country challenging the constitutionality. Taxes or no taxes, consumers will shop on the Web regardless of the final outcome.

A good reason why more and more will buy on line is, how many miles would they have to drive to find the kind of product selection available on the Web? Thirty minutes of Internet research probably amounts to two days running all over the city to find the product they want at the price they are willing to pay.

Online shoppers can zero in on the brand and style they want and then, with the click of a single button, see how they compare in price on a dozen different websites and store locations.

SCAMS, FRAUD

ONLINE RENTAL FRAUD
June, August, September, January are competitive months for rental suites.

There are a lot of fraudulence ads being placed free on Craigslist etc. Crooks ply on the shortage of apartments by placing ads on these sites. When someone answers they are informed owner had to go out of the country for a funeral or what ever. They had no one that they could have left the keys with so the apartment could be checked.

Now comes the kicker. If you�re interested in renting the apartment, send $900.00 as damage deposit, and $1200.00 for the first month�s rent and the key would be courier to them.

There is a limited supply of apartments on the market, so this is a huge target for scammers.

Don�t fall for this scam. People need to do their homework, physically see the apartment, talk to the owners� and have a written contract.

Some Tips to Avoid Impersonation/Identity Fraud:

Never throw away ATM receipts, credit statements, credit cards, or bank statements.

Never give your credit card number over the telephone unless you make the call.

Reconcile your bank account monthly and notify your bank of discrepancies immediately.

Keep a list of telephone numbers to call to report the loss or theft of your wallet, credit cards, etc.

Report unauthorized financial transactions to your bank, credit card Company, and the police as soon as you detect them.

Review a copy of your credit report at least once each year. Notify the credit bureau in writing of any questionable entries and follow through until they are explained or removed.

MARKETING ON INTERNET
Working part time there is no need to set up a fancy outside facility. Your basement, spare room will do just as well. All you need to start on the Internet is a computer connected to the Internet.

Further there are some good tax breaks working from home. Your computer, Internet connection, part light, heat and any other expense you have running the business. If you intend on making a living on the Internet start out part time. The failing rate on the Internet is over 94 percent, mostly because they buy into the MLM Marketer that promises all you have to do is join as a paid member.

E-BAY

You should also consider selling via eBay. Thousands of persons are making a good living today selling on eBay. They give you a lot of support with free information, tools and resources. Really a great way to start on the Internet part-time, as you have control on the hours you want to spend to make it work.

What I like about eBay is you can start by selling articles, products you have around your home, which you no longer have use for. The products you sell do not have to be new, but should be in good condition.
To register is free and easy. Go to; ebay.com

Click the register now button. You will need to create a User ID. And password, and enter the required information. You will receive confirmation e-mail from them. Just click on the link and you will have an account with them.

Protect yourself from spoof (fake) emails and Web sites. Take the Spoof Tutorial to learn about eBay Toolbar with Account Guard, which warns you when you are on a known spoof site.

For more safe buying tips, please visit the Safety Centre
http:// pages.ebay.ca/securitycentre/buying_safely.html

A Look at Third Party eBay Tools
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SolutionsDirectory.

There are many items around your home, you no longer have use for, but others may want to buy. A friend of mine was a Johnny Cash fan, had a bunch of his records he was going to throw out. Hi son took them, put them on sale on e bay, and sold most of them at $75. Each. Old books, certain T Shirts, are good sellers. Take a look around your home; you'd be surprised at the stuff you could sell.

Another way is to find a good drop shipper, and find goods you can sell at a profit on eBay, or via your website.

MLM�S
Don't get sucked into being an affiliate for some MLM scheme. Many are just an extension to chain letters and are not legal. Remember if you do sell for some MLM firm and they are not legal, you too could be charged. Further, you are given a long URL, which most persons will not click on. In fact you will be just giving free advertising for the MLM, as many will just chop off your affiliate link and deal direct with the firm, getting the commission you should have earned.

Don't get suck into free websites. When I first came on the net I seen an ad that promise a free website with 5 streams of income. Just what I needed. Yes my lucky day, a free website bringing in 5 streams of income. The only problem was he also looked after my cpanel. Being a newbie it took me 6 months to catch on the 6 streams of income were going to the guy, not me.

LIGHTSIDE
His Living Will
An man and wife were sitting in the living room discussing a "Living Will". The man states, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some person, and fluids from a bottle". If that ever happens, just pull the plug".
His wife gets up, unplugs the TV and threw out all the beer.

Defragging Hard Drive
It is a function that people seem to ignore. When you ignore it your computer suffers. The best time to do it is when your ready to shut down in the evening. It does take time, and as a rule you can't or should not use your computer until it is finished.
Opening a file or if Windows is running a program in the background will cause the program to terminate and restart.

TIPS
Next never open an attachment unless you know who is sending it and you are expecting it. Be careful when downloading free offers, gifts, too. Great place for a virus to get a free ride into your computer.

SCAREWARE
One of the most widespread types of cyber scam being perpetrated against consumers these days involves �scareware��those pop-up messages you see on your computer saying you�ve got a virus and all you have to do to get rid of it is buy the antivirus software being advertised.

And if you don�t buy it? The pop-ups continue unabated, and in some instances, the scareware renders all of the information on your computer inaccessible.
Investigators discovered a variety of ruses used to infect computers with scareware, including consumers being directed to web pages featuring fake computer scans. Once their computers were infected with the malicious software, victims began being notified by pop-ups that their machines had all sorts of viruses and they should buy the antivirus software being advertised�at a price of up to $129.

Because of the magnitude of the schemes, law enforcement agencies here and abroad are continuing their investigative efforts.

Scareware pop-ups may look like actual warnings from your system, but upon closer inspection, some elements aren�t fully functional. Scareware pop-ups are hard to close, even after clicking on the �Close� or �X� button.

Fake antivirus products are designed to appear legitimate, with names such as Virus Shield, Antivirus, or VirusRemover.
And to avoid being victimized, make sure your computer is using legitimate, up-to-date antivirus software, which can help detect and remove fraudulent scareware products.

Let the buyer beware" is still a fact of life for consumers,
marketers are not given free rein to coerce, cajole buyers into
sales that may not be in the best interests of those buyers. Rules and regulations exist that limit how marketers can market.

Sales are a great way to entice buyers, but make sure your sales
are legitimate sales. Introductory offers is also a very forceful sales word. But to use the word the product is indeed new and offer should not be extended longer then six months.

False and Misleading Advertising
The intention to deceive is not what matters. What matters is the perception of the public. The test of whether or not an ad is misleading will be based on the effect on the average or unsophisticated person. Your advertising may also be deemed deceptive through omission or misleading implications. The bottom-line, "just the facts, just the facts."

SCAMS
RINGTONE-CLONING
Crooks can use scanners to read your cell phone identity, including the number and its unique serial number. Then they clone a cell phone to make calls at your expense.

Downloaded ringtones could be exposing you to a couple of potentially costly cell phone scams. Usually free ones or those exchanged via peer-to-peer software can and have been hacked by scammers and can install a virus that either damages the phone or steals confidential information. Get your tones only from established, reputable companies. And don't return messages or calls from people or organizations you don't know. The same applies to text messages. Text scams have many various ways of costing you money.

Sometimes you find what seems to be a really sweet cell phone rental deal. You don't find out you've been ripped off till the bill arrives, showing all sorts of additional charges you didn't know about. Read the fine print (all of it) and only deal with name suppliers that have been around for years.

Help On Vacation Scam
Individuals' e-mail/or social networking accounts being compromised and used to swindle consumers out of thousands of dollars. Portraying to be the victim, the hacker uses the victim's account to send a notice to their contacts. The notice claims the victim is in immediate need of money due to being robbed of their credit cards, passport, money, and cell phone; leaving them stranded in Vancouver or some other location.

Some claim they only have a few days to pay their hotel bill and promise to reimburse upon their return home. A sense of urgency to help their friend/contact may cause the recipient to fail to validate the claim, increasing the likelihood of them falling for this scam. If you receive a similar notice and are not sure it is a scam, you should always verify the information before sending any money. If you have been a victim of this type of scam or any other Cyber crime, you can report it to the IC3 website at: www.IC3.gov.

I have to admit I fell for a similar scam, only it happen at my house. I answered the door and found a nice looking well dressed young man, who explained he was embarrassed, but found himself in a tight bind. He had been visiting one of his relatives who lived on the same street as me. He left their house and his car broke down a few blocks away. He walked back to his relative�s house but they had gone out. He had to go to the airport to pick up a sister, but was short $35.00 for a used battery.

Could I please lend him the $35.00 for the battery, and after he picked up his sister he would either bring the money back that evening or get his uncle who lives on my block to bring the cash over. You guessed right. He didn�t bring the money back, and he didn�t have an uncle who lived on my street. His scam was he would find out the name of one of your neighbours, make sure they were not home, and then went door to door with his scam.

Credit Card Fraud
The Bait: Surf the Internet and view adult images online for free, just for sharing your credit card number to prove you're over 18. Consumers say that fraudulent promoters have used their credit card numbers to run up charges on their cards.

Share credit card information only when buying from a company you trust. I prefer using PayPal, as I am notified the minute a charge is claimed on my account. With a credit card you may not get the charges against it for up to a month.

Consumers can protect themselves by:
Use strong passwords for all financial accounts and change them regularly. Obtain and review your annual credit reports for fraudulent activity. If you were a target of an attack, immediately contact your financial institutions, notify your telephone provider, and promptly report it to the IC3 website at: www.IC3.gov.
