You Need Power Factor Correction and TVSS Do Not Save Energy
Dec 30th
In today’s energy climate more and more people have become motivated to accomplish what they can to become more energy efficient to conserve energy and money. Regrettably this same climate has encouraged some to take advantage of innocent consumers’ desires to save energy and reduce operating expenses.
Vendors that advertise power factor improvement (kVAR correction) and transient voltage suppression to save energy are a good case in point of this bad trend. Recently we are seeing more and more of these businesses cropping up and we believe it is time to set the record straight.
First off, transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) plays an important part in improving power quality to guard sensitive equipment inside a facility. However, TVSS does not save energy. TVSS’s are barely active an infinitesimal portion of a second to defend against voltage surges which only last for less than a millisecond. To actually decrease energy use the TVSS would need to essentially cut power consumption for an extended amount of time which is not what they are designed to do. Again, TVSS is essential to protect susceptible electrical equipment but consumers should steer clear of vendors promising, or even guaranteeing, a reduction in energy consumption.
And what about salespeople who maintain that increasing power factor will save 15% or 20% or 30% of energy consumption and resultant costs? This is false but also a bit trickier.
For homes, power factor correction does zero to save energy because the average home already has an average power factor of approximately 0.97 which is nearly the perfect power factor of 1 or unity. Additionally, the unit (called a capacitor) is installed at the homes main circuit breaker. According to IEEE 5.5.3.3 capacitors must be located at or near the individual inductive motor loads to decrease power system losses by reducing heat and distribution losses known as I2R losses.
So what about commercial and industrial facilities looking to use power factor correction to shrink energy expenditures? It is completely appropriate for a business that is incurring penalties or a kVA billing structure from the utility company to improve the facility’s overall power factor by installing a capacitor bank at the main electrical service entrance or individual capacitors at or near the particular motor loads. Doing so will do away with the power factor penalties and/or reduce the kVA demand charges on the electric bill which can save considerable money and provide a significant ROI on the investment.
But what about power factor correction reducing kWh consumption? IEEE also tells us that at most I2R losses only account for 2 to 5% of the total load in a facility. Simple arithmetic tells us that it would be in opposition to the laws of physics to obtain the 15% to 30% energy reduction claimed by some vendors. Consider it. Even if your facility had 5% distribution losses and you could correct 100% of the predicament via power factor correction at every load (which can’t be done) you would still save no more than 5% at most. No where close to the claims of some capacitor reps and manufacturers.
All that said, power factor correction when done appropriately will eliminate utility penalties and kVA demand charges, improve facility power quality, increase electrical system capacity, and save a modicum of energy when applied at the proper motor loads in an industrial facility.
So make an investment in transient voltage surge suppression and power factor correction when appropriate and necessary. But caveat emptor!

Financial Reasons to Go Green
Dec 24th
Most people realize that reducing the utility cost center for a business or organization is a good thing for the bottom line but there are several other financial benefits to reducing energy consumption.
The US Green Building Council says that on average a “green building” enjoys, 30-50% reduced energy use, 35% reduced carbon emissions, 40% reduced water use and 70% reduced solid waste.
But does that truly translate into real value to a building owner or company in terms of value beyond simply lower utility costs? Following are some facts that detail the additional, verifiable benefits of “going green”. Public Relations Opportunities: Improving the efficiency of your facility, conserves natural resources, reduces pollution and emissions generated via energy production, protects the environment, and reduces solid waste accumulation. By accomplishing the above, improving the efficiency of your facility gives you the perfect opportunity to garner constructive, free publicity and allows you to portray your company in a positive light and gives the local and global community a picture of your company as a responsible corporate citizen and steward of the environment. Significant Financial Benefits:
In addition to reducing your utility bills, “going green” reducer maintenance, replacement and production downtime costs due to greater longevity of everything from lighting systems to HVAC systems to production equipment. It also improves the asset value of your property and increases profitability. In addition it improves tenant attraction and retention for building owners and leads to higher premium tenants and higher end leases. Furthermore shows the strength and astuteness of your executive management and attracts customers and investors. Lastly it improves worker productivity and safety and reduces absenteeism and turnover via improved comfort, lighting and indoor air quality. According to the US Green Building Counsel, “green buildings” save $58 billion of sick time and add $180 billion in increased worker productivity annually.
Ultimately a go / no go decision by a company or organization regarding improving energy efficiency should be based largely on cost effectiveness measures and rate of return on the initial investment. However, it would be a mistake not to acknowledge and consider these other significant benefits of “going green” as part of the decision making process.

MLM Malaysia Uncovered
Dec 13th
Network Marketing or MLM as it is more well known, has been in Malaysia for over 30 years now. It is extremely popular in Malaysia and has evolved slowly over the years. It started off as a side hobby for “aunties” and “uncles” as we say, and was just a way for them to make a few hundred ringgit extra each month. It then became a little more serious and house wives started to get into it. My mom spoke to your mom and so it grew and grew. By this time, we were able to make a few thousand extra per month on top of what we made from our jobs. Not bad considering that the average Malaysian paycheck is only a few thousand ringgit.
Nowadays, MLM has evolved so quickly that young professionals are starting to get into the business which was a rare occasion in the past. The potential to now earn hundreds of thousands each month and the freedom to work from home and leave your job is starting to appeal to the younger crowd, and to the baby boomer generation. Especially in a country where the earning potential is so low, no wonder there are more and more Malaysian’s flocking towards this industry.
In fact, the MLM industry has the potential to create more millionaires than any other industry in the world. Unfortunately however, the one thing that hasn’t changed is the way that most Malaysian’s are being trained on how to do the business. The first thing you will learn when you join your MLM company is that you need to speak to all your friends and family. They ask you to make a list of everyone you know. Your uncle, your aunty, your maid, your postman, your gardener, your gym instructor, your chicken rice man. You get the idea. Once you run out of people you know, you are told to make flyers, prospect in shopping malls, buy leads online, cold call bad numbers. Sound familiar?
It should, because I went through this entire process myself. And you know what? I hated it! Because unless you are a super sales person with amazing people skills, it is very unlikely that you will be successful using these methods. In fact, the failure rate is 97% and is based on traditional methods of networking in this business.
So what is the solution? Well, first of all, if you want to be successful in this business you need to forget about hassling your friends and family. Instead you need to leverage tools like the internet so that you can truly have a home business and market to a massive group of people instead of the finite number in your town or city. Information at MLM Malaysia Exposed will show you exactly how to MARKET your business so that you can “attract” people towards you instead of prospecting where you are always doing the “chasing”. It is time to start using current methods to attract today’s prospects instead of old school methods that just aren’t that effective anymore.
Aaron Chen is a successful MLM expert based in Kuala Lumpur who teaches Malaysians how to bring their MLM business online by leveraging the Internet. His article MLM Malaysia Exposed has changed the lives of many Malaysians who want to work from home and be financially free.

Tips For Starting Internet Marketing Business
Nov 5th
First step is finding the market niche that you want and to drive traffic to your product. First, you need to know who is the clientele/customer? What type of person is this? Are they going to be a male or female? Where do they reside/live? What language do they speak? What amount of money do they make? All are questions that you need to find out and that’s why research is so important.
Next is where do they go? What types of online activities do they do? What search engines do they use? What web sites or community programs do they use? This is a part of the research that you will need to do. You will have to go find them and bring them to your product.
Okay what does your clientele truly want? First and foremost a person will want to know what they are getting is worth it. Well how can you tell? The B.B.B. will be able to tell you which products/programs that are of value to you and your clientele. Anything that is above a B+ rating would be good in my eye’s but you may feel differently.
Some of the one’s on the B.B.B. show no problems or rating this may be due to not enough feedback to them about that particular product so please be careful but it is best to check out your product. Also many people have found that free product information is a good way to find out about a product before you purchase it. Free reports, or daily or weekly e-mails are a good way to get your product out there repeatedly to your clientele.
The idea is that you are going to provide someone a sullution for what they are feeling needs help or improvement. Whether it be a promotional product, affiliate products or a new digital camera that records in the highest pixel count known these days by this specific company. You are going to be providing a solution or a program that helps or fixes something that is needed by your clientele.
What products does your clientele use and buy that is in the same area as the product that you are promoting. This is the area that you will want to advertise/promote your product. In other words if you are promoting a camera you wouldn’t want to put an advertisement under the category for Herbals, makes an abundance of sense doesn’t it.
You have a store that sells power tools. But you don’t have any accessories. This would be an unwise move because how many people want to get everything they need in a one stop shop convenience. So you would want to advertise in an area that would sell let’s say drill bits or saw blades. Advertise towards home improvement or do it yourself. This is one of the parts of research that was mentioned before. Research is THE MAIN KEY to starting any type of work online or off.
You will need to find the area’s that your clientele go. Do they read a lot of articles, or do they go to chat programs or online communities. Do they read and follow certain blogs or twitter accounts. While you are researching you will find most of the area’s your clientele will be, and in what area you need to promote your product or promotional advertisement. What type of reading do they do? Where do they go to find and read what interests them and how would you be able to bring them to your product. Research is the first and foremost part of starting your own business in any form.

What Criteria Do You Have For Choosing A Business Opportunity?
Nov 4th
Sometimes a new business opportunity is better than an established business opportunity, and other times not. Sometimes an exclusive and unique product is easier to market and sell, whilst other times it can be pure hell. Sometimes the best compensation plans are actually the worst. But how do you know? Research! Whatever business opportunity you are interested in… you should do your due diligence and ask yourself and the company some hard hitting questions that will reveal whether or not it’s one you should pursue.
In this day and age where everyone is so focussed to make money, and do it very quickly… you need to find out the total cost it is to you, and how long it will take to come back to you, and then turn into profit. This means you will need to take a closer look at product costs, shipping costs (if any), the compensation plan structure, the bonus structure, the retail sales commission, and other influencing factors. Take your time and ask questions that have otherwise not already been answered by the product or company tour that you have been directed to… don’t be afraid to get the truth out of people as that is key to building trust and rapport.
As a home business owner, you need to weigh up the pros and cons, and then come up with a tactical marketing plan to see how viable your chosen niche really is. Are there topics that you can write articles on? Are there keywords that are perfect for pay-per-click advertising? Are there niche magazines you may place classified ads? Do you have the patience and persistence to see your commitment through to the very end? Are you really passionate about what you want, how you’re going to get it, and know exactly what steps you’ll need to take? It will take time, money, effort, and 100% commitment on your behalf to build a thriving team that really excels… have you got what it takes?
When weighing up your business opportunity, be honest with yourself. The worst thing you can do is talk it up and make it seem like a walk in the park, when you will actually need to work hard at it for a while before things start flourishing. Learn to have fun, learn to learn more and continually educate yourself and your team, and only commit to your business opportunity if you are truly committed right to the very end. Success is in your hands!
Are you willing to step out of the boat and walk on the water? Do you know what hard work is all about? Have you got a strong character? Do you have successful work habits? Are you persistent?
As talked about, take your time and do your due diligence on any business opportunity that might be presented to you. For example, I know personally that herbal coffee is booming right now because it is unique, exclusive, is easy to sell, is easy to enroll distributors, and does a fantastic service to men and women globally in the love department.
3 Ways To Make A Profitable Opt-In List
Oct 19th
You have finally realized that you need a good opt-in list. After reading countless articles and sought expert advice and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists, you have finally made up your mind to have one of your own. Then this happens, you think you know everything there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their advice to the letter but you still aren’t able to make any revenue.
In fact, you may even be losing money. You may be hiring writers or there may be other costs incurred. Even if you have a large list, but only a very tiny percentage actually buys from you, you could still be losing money. You’ll realize that after a few weeks, when you see your statistics and sales figures.
So what could have gone wrong? Why have some succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is to dive straight right in. You chose a topic which you thought might be quite popular and would earn you money. However, this is just not the case. Just because you write to people on the list, it doesn’t mean they are going to buy.
Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed. You can rejuvenate your disastrous project. For those who are just starting off, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.
1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching an opt-in list does not make you an specialist or a believable seller. Write many articles before you start an opt-in list. Write about any subject you know and have started and used for your site. Use forums to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and aim for those wants and needs.
Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advice and suggestions. When you feel that people trust you, you will be able to create your own opt-in list. You can build a customer base with other forum users. You can invite them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they can see what your business is all about.
The truth is, the money will only come in when consumers and subscribers believe in and trust you. They want a product or service that is good value for their money. People are not going to buy something because of your recommendation if they don’t know you.
2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your strong suit, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can put that over.
While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have an interest in, there are not many people who have the same interests exactly. Do your research well and you will see the profits come in. Also provide your subscribers with promotional material that they can actually use and pass around.
3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a thriving opt-in list. These are people that have experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles accessible on the Internet, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you have faith in.
Knowledgeable opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations crop up for different people, the general ideas can still be very helpful. There are many dangers to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.
Building a profitable opt-in list doesn’t happen overnight. There is much preparation to do. Opt-in lists must be built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you one day.

Using Coupons to Promote Your Business
Oct 6th
Coupons are among the most overlooked business promotion tools ? yet they offer the forward thinking business owner an opportunity to enhance their business without having to spend inordinately large sums of money on a media-based business promotion campaign.
There are at least two ways through which a business owner can promote their enterprise using coupons, which are basically described as ?discount tokens? ? that is documents or codes which a business gives to its customers or prospective customers, so that upon entering the code or showing the document which makes up the coupon when making a purchase, they can get the discount contained therein (in the coupons).
The first way through which coupons can be used to develop a business is by way of employing them as new customer attraction tool, where you introduce the product you are offering (whether it is a good or a service) to prospective buyers, show them what benefit it can offer them, and the proceed to give them coupons ? with a promise that when they make the first purchase of the product in question and produce the coupon so given during their purchase, they would instantly earn a discount: which is likely to see them purchase the said product from you (rather than from a non-coupon offering competitor), if the said product is indeed something they could be in need of.
The second way through which you can employ coupons to grow your business is where the coupons are used as a way to lure customers from your competitors. This need not be unethically done: it can be simply an arrangement where the discount in the coupon is huge enough for your competitor?s customers to switch allegiance, backed by a good customer care mechanism which would see them ?stick? with you even upon the withdrawal of the coupons (though of course the coupons program, if well drawn, can be maintained on an ongoing basis).
The other way through which coupons can help you to promote your business to the next level is by giving you an opportunity to create loyalty among your present clientele. This is like where you structure a coupon offer such that for every so many months a client continues doing business with you they qualify for such and such a coupon (bearing such and such a discount amount) ?a program which can see them literary ?hooked? to your business.
Of course, in as much as coupons lead to discounts, they are a business expense ? and the money to finance them has to come from somewhere. Ideally, the money to finance the coupons should come from the marketing budget, because when all is said and done, the coupons offer an opportunity to run a much better targeted marketing campaign than most other tools at today?s business owner?s disposal, whose use often means spending money marketing to people who have absolutely no prospects whatsoever of purchasing whatever product the business is dealing in.

Converting Adword Traffic Into Sales… Appreciating the Role of the Sales Process to Your Success
Oct 1st
When you sign up for Google AdWords, the only goal you must set your eyes on is converting AdWord traffic into sales.
Myth: The more visitors to your site, the more sales you will generate.
Fact: This is not necessarily the case. In fact, many studies of e-commerce sites suggest that a first-time visitor to your site will not buy anything even though 1-in-7 is prepared to make a purchase.
That’s why you have to understand the online sales process and what role it plays in converting Adword traffic into sales. If you want to get more customers without paying too much on internet marketing, then by all means use Google Adwords. Here is a list of what you can do to use Google Adwords effectively in converting Adword traffic into sales:
* Marketing – You must use Google Adwords to address your potential customers’ needs and lead them to your web site.
* Trust is a Must – Your web site should be very trustworthy and credible so that customers will feel more confident in availing your product or services. Otherwise, your customers will go elsewhere for a more credible site.
* Navigation – Structure your website so that people can easily navigate your site. Nothing fails in converting Adword traffic into sales than a site that is confusing to customers. Google Adwords will only add to your marketing costs without converting Adword traffic into sales.
* Presentation and Motivation – Your website should be presentable to your customers so they are motivated to avail of your products or services. Your site’s aesthetic appeal is a huge factor in converting AdWord traffic into sales.
* Sales Closure – To close a sale, you need to present a call-to-action, easy and secure payment options, and enough details on your products or services so that the visitor can justify their purchase.

How to Draw Buying Customers to your Products.
Sep 16th
If you are into marketing on the Internet, you will be marketing a website of one kind or another. Maybe you own the URL of that web site or youre promoting a generic link which contains your affiliate code.
Whichever scheme you operate, the problem is the same: how to get enough interested visitors to you website, so that, if they are interested in your product, you have a chance to sell it to them, if they can afford it, before they become so distracted that they click away.
This is the biggest common problem that every single marketer faces, and it is called attracting targeted traffic, getting relevant visitors or something very similar. All the phrases mean the same ultimately. If no one can see your product they cannot buy it or if your visitors are mainly young people interested in football, it is no good trying to sell them knitting needles.
So, obviously you need as many visitors to your website, who are interested in your product, as you can handle. This means that you need to be highly ranked in the search engines so that people can find your site. The biggest and most often-used search engine is Google. So, how do you get your site ranked highly in Google?
There are millions of books and ebooks on the subject, but without exception, the serious ones come to the same conclusion (unless they were written by self-interested safe-list or traffic exchange owners) and that conclusion is that you need links to your site.
Very few people will honestly admit to knowing how Google ranks sites, but most people agree that the more sites linking to your site the better. This has lead some webmasters to try exchanging links with each other. It sounds an easy way to get links but Google can recognize reciprocal links. The best links are one-way links, because it demonstrates that someone values your site enough to want to be associated with it. These are called back links.
That means that the real problem boils down to how to get enough back links to your website to persuade Google (and the other search engines) that you run such an important website that they ought to rank it highly for your chosen keywords, which should be relevant to the content of your website. How do you do that?
Well, there are many strategies such as traffic exchanges, safelists, FFAs, forums and writing articles. To be blunt, the first three are a complete waste of time. I own a safelist and have wasted man-hours on traffic exchanges, all for nought. Posting to forums can be worthwhile, but ONLY if the link on your post is a follow link. If it is not, it doesnt count and most are no follow links. This means you will have to research the forums to find out where it is worth while you posting to (more on this later). That leaves writing articles as the ONLY sure-fire way to get solid back-links to your site based on keywords that are relevant to your site.
So, you write an article on a subject relevant to your site stuffed (but not over-stuffed) with relevant keywords but then what do you do next? Thats easy! You search Google for article directories, lists and blogs; sign up to a couple of dozen of the relevant ones; find the relevant categories and post your article to them.
And that is the way to get the sort of links to get your site highly ranked, so that people can find you and have a chance to buy what you are selling. The only catch is that Google will expect to see new links appearing on the Internet on a regular basis, which means writing and posting time after time after time after time ad infinitum. Or does it?
Yes, it does! But the process can be automated and automation is the key to online success. Set up a proven, successful process and let it run ” day and night: all day and all night! I use a system that helps you turn your article into thousands of variations and posts them to thousands of sites, creating thousands of back-links!
These variations are not spun! (The industry standard way of creating variations is to use spinning software to substitute synonyms eg quickly for fast in a random way. This works to a certain degree but can produce gibberish too). The system I use does not employ this method, but still produces thousands or variants. Then it sends them to article directories and blogs. Thousands of them. In fact today, there are over 11,000 sites on their list and the list is kept fresh on a monthly basis. Most similar lists are not well maintained as it is very time-consuming and so contain many dead links.
This system will take your article, create thousands of variations and then post them to thousands of sites. All with your sites link in the by-line, which you can also vary. But not only that! It only posts your article to sites that want sites like yours (based on your chosen keywords) and posts according to a schedule chosen by you: ie 10, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 posts a day, starting on any future date you may choose! So you could write say, three articles and have the first one go out starting the next day at 150 a day; the second one starting after seven days at 150 sites a day; and the third starting after two weeks at a rate of 75 sites a day.
That would give your site at least 3,000 links in a month or 100 a day ” all for 2-3 hours work! If you wrote one article a day (an hours work) and it got posted to only 1,000 relevant sites, you would have 30,000 relevant links in a month. And that does not include the bloggers, ezine publishers and webmasters who paste your article into their publication with your link. You could easily end up with 40-50k links. But it doesnt even stop there, because the article will be live for years and years, quietly beavering away at getting you noticed by the search engines and the people searching them. How many sales could that get you?
If you would like to see an example of this systems output, you have already read one ” this article. And if you would like to find out more, follow the link in my by-line attached to it.
