Chanel Your Prosperity Energy Today
Posted by: prenotazione on: September 7, 2008
Every emotion, wether we classify it as good or bad, has energy. Think about it. Cant you feel it when you are angry or bouncing off the walls happy? Just as there are levels of energy for these emotions, there are levels of energy for another emotion – wanting.
A great man called Lester Levinson discovered that this wanting energy is a negative force in our lives. He discovered this on a mission to save his own life, when he was diagnosed with cancer and sent home to die. Wanting money. Wanting to be loved. Wanting to be appreciated. All of these wants and more were slowly killing him.
He discovered that this wanting energy equaled a feeling of lack. If you want something you dont have it. He also discovered that we hold onto energy. When we are happy we try to hold on to this feeling. When we are upset about something we try to push it away and get rid of it.
He found, and Harvard researchers agreed, that when we let go of our emotions, both good and bad and just let them flow we find the ultimate state of imperturbability. When you reach this state about the object or person that you are stressing out over, you can actually have what you have been wanting instantly.
Researchers at some of the top universities have studied Lesters technique and found that it really works to lessen stress, improve health and increase our natural ability to attract abundance. And stars like Joan Collins, Laura Dern and Sally Jesse Raphael have learned and use this technique every day.
This technique is easy to do. It is extremely easy to learn and it is provable. As Lester always said, Take it for checking. Prove it to yourself. Use this powerful technique and channel your prosperity energy today.

How to Create a Positive Environment in Your Home With Vastu
Posted by: prenotazione on: September 7, 2008
Our homes, carefully oriented, have the power to give us comfort and security and to be one of our best investments. We spend a great deal of time and money to accomplish this. However, many of us do not know if we are creating a positive and life-supporting place to live and work. Many people have reported health and financial problems after they had moved into a home or have done home improvements. Unknowingly, we may be doing more harm than good! Vastu Shastra, the architectural science with roots in ancient India, takes into account environmental factors that we may be unaware of yet influence the quality of our lives.
Vastu is the oldest and most complete system of architecture known to man. It involves assessing all environmental influences that affect us, such as geopathic stress, the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space), the sun, moon and the planets in our solar system. It considers building orientation, placement of rooms, proportions and measurements, slope and shape of the land, location of bodies of water and other environmental and geopathic influences.
According to Vastu Shastra, the sun creates different qualities of energy on its path from east to west. These different energies influence and enhance specific functions and activities that correspond with specific areas of your home. Where you enter a house or room, where you prepare and cook your food, where you sit while eating, the direction in which you sleep, where you face while studying, the placement of bathrooms and areas for socializing and meditating are more optimally supported in specific parts of your home than in others.
Vastu not only takes into consideration the environment in which we live, but how our environment affects the health of our bodies and our ability to create in the world. The earth is a magnetic force and is composed of the five elements, as is our brain. The thalamus is the relay center for all sensory and motor signals (except smell) in the brain. Neurological research has shown that firing patterns of neurons in the thalamus of the brain function differently depending on which direction one is facing. Our mind then is the interactive result of the affect of the magnetic field in our brain cells. By placing our bodies and environments in alignment with the magnetic axis, we can think and act more in tune with nature, which can benefit us in the most amazing ways. Our actions and decisions will be successfully supported by the forces of nature, much like swimming with the current of a stream is easier than swimming against it. We all know or can imagine what it is like to swim up-stream, meeting with resistance to our success!
We live on this earth, but we also live in a sea of electromagnetic and cosmic influences. Our actions are affected by every shift in the cosmic atmosphere. Every particle of energy in the universe is linked to the next. Designing using the principles of Vastu Shastra, creates environments that are more open to life supporting influences and more protective against influences that are harmful. Unfortunately, most present day architecture is based on function alone. Even so-called green architecture may only take into account forces of the sun, wind, water and climate. It does not, in most instances, account for that which affects us such as planetary, geomagnetic and geopathic forces. Homes and offices that have been designed or corrected using the principles of Vastu Shastra are not intended to conquer the environment but to obey the forces of nature.
When we plant a seed it takes all five elements to be in harmony for the seed to sprout, grow and be healthy. The proportion of too much or too little of any element, whether it is the quality of earth (soil ph), the amount of water, wind (air) or sun, will inhibit its growth. Just as the balance of the five elements affects success in nature, the balance inherent in our environment affects our success in the world. Vastu takes into account all influences to create an environment in harmony with nature that supports our quality of life, including our success.

Internet will not be the same in the years to come. It is going to become an added identity and another address of a person. It is important that everyone establishes a presence on the internet. It will be much easier for people to refer to a person’s website and to know him better, communicate and do business with him.
Persons with no internet presence will score less in business and will not have adequate communication and business relations with others.
Those who are just starting their presence or online business or internet home business, it might be difficult for them to pay for web hosting and web site builder software.
There are so many costs associated with online business. Apart from domain registration and web site hosting, these relate to accepting online payments, communicating, web design charges, web maintenance etc. Fortunately one can do all of these relatively free now.
There are certain companies on the internet which provide free web hosting. Why they do so? Well, along with that they put up little advertisements on a person’s website. That is how they compensate themselves.
However, the ads so displayed can be removed anytime by upgrading to a paid account. Even then the hosting charges will be minimal.
Given that more than 80% of online businesses fail, it will be much desired to save any amount of money that can possibly be saved. If you are just starting out and want to test the waters first, then it might be desirable to start with a free web hosting provider and other free services.
Once one feels comfortable with online business, then one can subscribe to more reliable and assured services and also remove ads of the web hosting service from one’s website.
Free web site builder software accompanies with almost all web hosting services. So one need not to bother about spending money on purchasing any kind of software. Of course, there are some free sources of web site builder software. That will be a topic for an another article.
One can do an online search on free web hosting services and choose the one from a number of them. However, if you want to cut time, you can find here a great free web hosting provider.

How To Cash In On The Internet Bandwagon
Posted by: prenotazione on: May 28, 2007
Every now and again, a big deal will go through, and people who have never seriously considered an internet business, start thinking about their own online business.
The Google – YouTube deal is just one such deal.
Chad Hurley and Steve Chen started YouTube “in their garage” – likely in their living room office – but a “garage start-up” sounds so cool. Hurley and Chen started their website only 20 months before Google bought it for $1.65 billion. That is $825 million each for 20 months work, or $41.25 million dollars each for every month they were in operation!
All of us dream the big dream, but then reality sets in. Few of us can look forward to earning $40 million per month. While you can probably count the people who have on two hands, there are still thousands more people who have managed to turn their online business into a million dollar a year business.
Most people who start an online business might dream of making one million per year, but most would be happy just to earn enough to leave their day job behind them. Some would even be happy to earn just enough to pay their car payment or to save for their kid’s college tuition fees. All are worthy goals, and the good news is that all are within the reach of most people who strive to reach them.
Learning How To Play The Game
As with any great endeavor in life, there is a process one must follow in order to be successful.
The first step is learning how to play the game.
The beauty of starting an online business is that the internet is driven by information. If you have a desire to learn about something, then you will find someone on the internet who is willing to teach you about the topic you wish to learn. You can literally find information available on any topic, some of it free and some of it available for a small fee.
Online Business Structures
There are four primary business structures on the internet:
1. Product Sales 2. Service Sales 3. Membership Websites 4. Advertising Platforms
Product sales include both hard goods and digital items. Examples of hard goods include food, clothing, car parts, books and music. Examples of digital items include electronic books and software.
Within these four primary platforms, there are several ways to accomplish each business process. For example, with a Product Sales driven website, you can opt to use: a direct sales website, an online auction system, or an affiliate sales format. With Service sales, you can use the direct sales website or the affiliate sales format.
Affiliate sales systems are akin to Reseller sales systems. There really is one difference between an affiliate sales system and a reseller program.
With an affiliate program, you will direct the buyer to the seller’s real website – through a special tracking URL that is only available to you – to make their actual purchase, and you as the affiliate will be paid on a monthly schedule for the sales that you have generated.
With the reseller program, the source company will remain hidden in the background. You will make the sale, collect the money from the buyer, and then you will process the sale through a private access point on the seller’s website.
The concept behind the membership program is that people will rent access to a private area of your website.
The most well known advertising platform of course is the search engine. They make their money when someone else buys advertising. Other such sites include news or general information websites.
While the big boys make up the immediately recognizable websites based on the advertising platform, many small publishers are making a good living by providing advertising driven websites.
Low-Cost Entry Point
Forget going out and renting an office for $900 per month. Forget about having to set up utilities in your home and at your office. This is another one of the beauties of an online business. You really do not need to have a costly storefront in order to go into business for yourself.
If you go the online auction route, you will not need to have a website at all. But you may need the extra room in your house or in your garage to handle storage of the product you will be selling, unless you go the drop-shipping route.
The idea behind a drop-shipper is that you can register with a wholesaler. Then you can sell single-piece items to your customers, and process the order through the wholesaler in the same way you would through a reseller program. When you buy the product from the wholesaler, you will give them the direct shipping address of your customer, and the wholesaler will put your shipping label on the package. When your customer receives the product, by all appearances, that product will have come from your warehouse. To find drop-shippers who serve your choice product lines, you should sign up for a lifetime membership at World Wide Brands for their drop-shipper locator service.
In any other business model, you should seriously consider registering your own domain name, even if you intend to utilize the affiliate sales systems. The costs of pursuing this route are minimal. You can expect to spend $20-30 buying ownership of your own domain name for one year, and you can generally get a web hosting account (where you actually manage and store your domain) for anywhere from $30-50 per month.
Low Knowledge Threshold
Many web-hosting companies offer a HTML editing tool within their domain management interface that lets you build and design your website’s pages.
The beauty of these HTML editing tools is that you do not have to know how to build actual webpages. You simply type what you want into the editing interface, highlight what you want to put in bold print, and then click a little button that converts your highlighted text to bold print. The same processes apply for links to other webpages, and a wide variety of text formatting options. It is so easy, even a caveman could do it.
Mix-and-Match For Best Results
The lowest-cost systems for your first website is between the advertising platform, and product and service sales through affiliate programs. The best benefit for each of these three options is that you will not need to build your own online payment systems. That is a real advantage when you are just starting to get your feet wet.
For advertising systems, many people today utilize the Google Adsense system to put paid advertising on their website. To get involved using Google Adsense, you simply need to get your website approved by the Google staff, and then you copy a piece of code they give you and put that code into your webpages. You can generally get Google’s approval in three to five days. And then, once you apply Google’s code to your webpage, you will be able to get paid for advertising on your website immediately.
Affiliate programs work in the same way. You get registered with the affiliate’s website, and then they will give you a small piece of code that you can copy-and-paste and put directly into your website. Once again, you could be earning money from your visitors beginning the same day you put the affiliate code on your website.
My best advice is to not rely on only one system for making money.
Google Adsense pays you every time someone clicks an advertisement on your website (don’t do this yourself, or Google will terminate your account with them). Because Google is paying you for traffic that you send to their advertisers, you will only get paid based on a percentage of what Google collects from their client for that visitor. In some cases, we are talking about pennies per visitor.
With affiliate programs, you could literally make $2 or $200 for one sale.
I believe that if you are getting into an internet business on the advertising platform, you should not rely only on Google Adsense, nor should you rely only on your affiliate programs. But together, both systems on your website could provide a significant income for you.

Moving Companies And Their Dedicated Services
Posted by: prenotazione on: May 28, 2007
Moving is the most inevitable task in life. The moving is also associated with the stress, hazardous matters and so many wear-and-tear situations and it is very expensive too. All those words are worth of, as it takes lots of time and people have to plan their moving articles which things to take with and which are to be left out? It is expensive as the moving house or the person has to set up a new living condition where they have to purchase lots of house hold articles.
While talking of moving the matter comes to consideration is that a large no of US people as like 18% move or take the initiative to relocate to the different places. This burdensome work is then only possible when people switch to the right full residential moving service.
The best thing for all of us would be to shop around for get the right moving company. The online face or the mirror of a moving company is the Movers Web site . The website along with the moving quote has been put up by the most of the moving companies. The people who are in need of moving can go through the website and ask their (at least 3 of them) representatives to meet the departing place that they can get the right ideas of the job they has to deal with. Thus the right moving quote is possible to get from them with out any scam of hidden cost of moving.
By far the people do move into two categories. One of them is Local move or Interstate move and International or Overseas move.
Local move- When the move comprises of 6 hrs of journey or 350 miles in the same state or the nearby state that move is considered as the Local move. Moving locally is not that hectic but people have to take care of the timings and the weather condition. This kind of moving is generally regulated by Department Of Transport.
Local moving companies in Miami Florida that people hire are well acquainted with the situation and they take all the responsibilities to secure safer moving by providing with the free assorted moving boxes and storage facilities.
International move- Moving internationally is not that kind of the thing that would be done with ease. As far the moving internationally is concern the people has to make lots of things in terms of arranging the proper paper works to stay away from the migration security problem. So it would be the packing that creates lots of problem.
Packing for an overseas move is very different from that of a move within the United States. Everything must be wrapped and arranged inside large waterproof plywood; metal or fiberglass boxes called lift vans or loaded directly into ship containers (20 ft and 40 ft). You should NOT pack your own goods. Due to recent terrorist threats, self-packing is not allowed. The Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 dictates what can and cannot be done on international moves. Professional movers use specially designed cartons that are heavy enough for fragile items. All items not boxed are and should be wrapped in a thick corrugated brown paper. Everything is then fitted into the container. Most movers will pack and load the containers at residence.

The Muslim Threat to Europe : Don’t Buy All the Hype
Posted by: prenotazione on: May 28, 2007
Right wing parties have attracted a larger following in Europe over the past few years, but overall, moderation and tolerance have characterized the response of host cultures as they struggle to integrate immigrant populations.
There are many problems with European multiculturalism and with home bred racism, as the recent riots of Muslim youths in France illustrate. But despite terror attacks in Madrid and London, the incendiary speeches of radical imams and high levels of immigrant crime in some areas, Europeans by and large have maintained their cool in the face of intimidation.
Some view this as evidence of weakness. Recently Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton, Bernard Lewis, made a speech in which he argued that Muslims are taking over Europe and characterized this as a war being waged by Islam against Christendom. This may be the aim of a minority of Muslim radicals, but it’s not true of the majority. Most Muslim immigrants are interested primarily in getting a decent job and securing a future for their families, not acting as front line troops in some hypothetical war of civilizations. Judging from recent reports from France of numbers of Muslims converting to Christianity, it’s pretty evident that jihad wasn’t the first thing on their mind. I think it’s entirely possible that Lewis is a little too steeped in the historical narrative of his profession and is hyping the current problems out of proportion.
The ‘us versus them’ approach of course has merit in the case of a nation that menaces the West militarily. In such situations there are instances in which war is entirely legitimate. But the same psychology shouldn’t apply to societal issues, where there is a lot more room for accommodation.
The mistake Lewis makes along with writers such as Mark Steyn, is to characterize the position of European secularists as weakness or even degeneracy. In speaking of the Islamist’ view of the European character, Lewis makes the following observation … “They feel they are dealing with, as Osama bin Laden put it, an effete, degenerate, pampered enemy incapable of real resistance”. This sounds very much in keeping with the views of Lewis’ himself.
In the words of The Stranglers … “no more heroes any more”. It’s a different world. Self-assertive chauvinism of the ‘my turf’ variety is hardly evidence of a global perspective. Heroic strength isn’t only demonstrated through tough guy acts. The determined exercise of tolerance and patience in the face of intimidation, frequently demonstrates courageous qualities of a higher order than a willingness to resort too quickly to reactionary blow-back tactics. We have seen the impasse such thinking has led to in Israel and N.Ireland.
The use of the term “Christendom” is also a misnomer. Even though the term isn’t synonymous with Christianity, there is little about modern Europe that is Christian per se. In fact many European intellectuals recoil from the values that the term ‘Christendom’ represents. Without serried ranks of crusader heroes to oppose the alleged Muslim take-over plan, a Euro war-of-civilization is a non-starter. But that certainly doesn’t imply that Europe is simply there for the taking by any one party with any one agenda … Muslim or Christian, or even Jewish.
When you look at Israel and the way it has handled the Palestinian issue, I don’t see the hard line approach proving to be more successful than the patient work of integration. The determination of Israel to view Palestinians (even Israeli Arabs) as a threat has resulted in decades of war and hatred. A continuation of the same policies on the part of Israel guarantees that this situation will never change. Harder though it is, the better way is to set aside inherent inclinations toward exclusivity in order to treat others equally, without distinctions being made on the basis of race and heritage.
Contrary to the views of Lewis, I see the European approach as evidence of strength rather than weakness, despite the enormity of present challenges on the immigration front. The mistake I believe was to allow immigrant communities to basically transport their native culture lock, stock and barrel into European cities in the name of multiculturalism. Many residents of these immigrant enclaves remain unable to speak the language of the host nation. This has clearly been the source of a lot of the frictions that have arisen. While I don’t think the solution lies in evoking the reactionary forces of ‘Christendom’, I do think that secular values need to become more militant when it comes to addressing the nefarious aspects of extremist religious ideology.
Of course for those with a them-and-us mentality, a more progressive approach will always be viewed as weakness because they lack an alternative vision of society, trapped as they are in the traditional mold. In reality, the Israeli position vis-a-vis the Palestinians, is the position that is weak because it is underwritten with fear. Fear-of-the-other has been the force that has sustained the identity of the Jews throughout history, and unfortunately this psychological predisposition shows little sign of changing on the part of the majority. There is however a minority of Israelis who hold progressive views and favor a more enlightened approach. They are the best hope for the future of that nation.
European secularism has become increasingly non-religious, even atheistic. Far from this being evidence of a decline in values or a slide into the abyss of atavistic paganism, it is evidence of a sophisticated society that is slowly moving away from the old ‘them-and-us’ mindset, notwithstanding the resistance from ‘blood and soil’ nationalists. As anyone with even a cursory knowledge of history is aware, them-and-us thinking leads to endless war and attrition.
There is no argument that work needs to be done to improve integration of immigrants and from that point of view there are solid reasons why the old model of multiculturalism needs to be revamped, at a minimum. A new European identity needs to emerge that includes immigrants as equal partners.
European tolerance, even humor, in the face of outspoken fundamentalism and the extremism that is incubated in some Muslim quarters, demonstrates an ethical value that is superior to a gang-up-and-beat-em-down mentality. After all, the whole idea is to integrate Muslims, isn’t it? How can you integrate an immigrant community if you use the actions of a few extremists in their midst to mount a domestic crusade? You will just succeed in deepening the divide and complicating the task. Tolerance though needs to co-exist with tough law and order measures in an effort to combat domestic terrorism. This task is made a lot easier when there is a level of trust, and that can only be engendered by exercising tolerance. Unfortunately European multiculturalism has tended to emphasis the separateness of communities, and has made mutual understanding more difficult to achieve.
Terror threats are very real. European multiculturalism in its present form I believe facilitates these threats because it has created a gulf between communities. Yes, these dangers exist, but alarmist talk that Europe is about to fall under the thrall of Islam is badly overblown and frankly I’m surprised that professor Lewis has climbed onto that particular bandwagon. A simple look at current demographics tells you that it’s not imminent. Moreover, if cultural and religious wars break out down the road, they will be fought at the ballot box and on the media. In the case of terrorist acts by the few, European nations aren’t exactly sitting ducks waiting to keel over. They have robust legal systems and well managed police services. Talk of impending doom and a Muslim ‘takeover’ grossly underestimates the resourcefulness and character of peoples that survived the Nazi era and before that WW1. They aren’t exactly pushovers.
In Europe we are seeing a more militant secularism that no longer bows to the dictates of religion. Despite the patience shown and the concessions made to immigrant communities in the name of tolerance, it is highly unlikely that European societies will cede control to Islam any time soon.
Although there is a serious problem on the immigration front, the commitment to secularism is its greatest hope. Those with a passionate commitment to a new societal model may not be calling upon God, but they bring other qualities to the task … vibrant individualism, realism and the knowledge of a third way that transcends the age old polarities of religious and cultural hatred.

Optimizing your video and audio for Organic search Results
Posted by: prenotazione on: May 28, 2007
Video and Audio now gives you organic Search Results! Optimizing your video and audio for Organic search Results
There is no doubt that Organic traffic is going to be huge in the near future, look at PPC costs and see why. The changes that will take place in search engines are going to effect many people, maybe including myself 
This I can tell you because Google is constantly trying to get you to rank pages. Now let me introduce you to something new, marketers like to call it “universal traffic”. In the past marketers with SEO’s have tried to optimize each website for getting “page results” and are therefore ranked on the Search Engines. However, now they are changing the search results to be “All-in-one”. What this means is that your site need to conain bigger portions of content, not only text. Search Results appearing now can be anything from text to names of pdf files, or even videos. They have it all, blogs images, everything. This means trouble, for most people, since now the competition will increase A LOT. It’s easier to rank good for 10,000 pages than it is to rank for 100,000 objects on the same 10,000 pages. Why? It’s hard to compete with Audio, Blogs, Articles, How to’s, Wikipedia posts and News from the big site, even images. A combination of these are hard to fight off. I’ll tell you how to get a fair step ahead.
Tell me the keys to doing this, right now. Well alright, I will tell you!
There are many things to use to your advantage here. We have Podcasts, RSS feeds, Blogs, Articles, Wikipedia enries, Softwares, and even social bookmarking sites. This article only covers the optimization for audio and video meta tags and titles to rank higher on google for the new generation of Search Engines.
Optimizing your audio and video for 2007
To make something clear, podcasts are a part of audio and video. Video and Audio Podcasts are all over the internet. technology is so far ahead that this might actually scare you! Voice recognition can actually take note on what you are actually saying and transscribe this into text. This is so high tech that I can’t even stress this enough. Some search engines take that transscribed audio/video and then reads that text to return results. To optimize for this then you will have to follow some basic steps. If you are recording something for a podcast in the form of audio then while editing your audio podcast use “old SEO techniques”, but for your voice. Follow these guidelines and you will be well of in the new “Universal Organic Search Engine Results”
1. Your Audio/Video should have a good descriptive title! 2. The Meta Tags are still important for your Audio/Video, so don’t change this from old SEO. 3. Meta Tags are in turn the same as SERP or ID3 tags in media such as windows media player or winamp. When playing a song you will usually see artist, album, song title etc. Now take into account that this is exatcly how you should put your Audio/Video Podcasts tags, DO put in the extra time it takes to do this. 4. Use programs such as Audacity to edit the ID3 tags for ultimate easy for both search engines and visitors to your site. 5. If you are writing a post to your podcast (which you should anyway) be sure to include targeted keywords. 6. Use the same old bold and the same old italic for keywords, no different, like I said before. 7. Your links should have a nice little anchor tag too, with the keywords attached. 8. Important note are the tags, the small keywords you are allowed to use. Tag it with targeted keywords and be sure to have only relevant keywords. This is good for SE and visitors. 9. Another great feature that has been around for some time is RSS. Get a free RSS feed to your podcasts, this gives your visitors the next podcast directly in their reader and acts as a signal for them to come back. 10. Geo Target your Feeds 11. Categorize your video correctly, this is for the easy of any spiders that want to find “relevancy” and also for visitors 12. If you are not already a member of Social Bookmarking sites, be sure to become one and promote your videos there. 13. Send Invites to friends, Invite friends to join you in your network 14. Use Technorati to ping your Video/Audio podcasts 15. If you don’t have a blog, get one and embed your audio/video inside. 16. Use this as leverage, get frinds to give honest reviewsto your content, feedback 17. This should be obvious, but I feel the need to say it submit your Audio/Video to all the directories and search engines you can afford or know about. 18. If you are familiar with Viral Marketing then use this, have a Tell-A-Friends button and be sure to have great interesting content for this to really work well 19. Use other people to get them to post your content. Maybe you have a frind with a blog, ask them to embed the video to their site and so on. 20. Tell as many people as you know about your videos and talk about it on the street, passionately is always better.
I hope these 20 steps can bring you to better Search Engine Results and more organic traffic, this can sound like a lot of work, and it can be. Therefore I suggest the tools on my website posted below.

Home Buyers And Sellers Come From All Different Generations: Agents Need To Master The Art Of Generational Housing
Posted by: prenotazione on: May 28, 2007
- In: Real Estate
- 1 Comment
While the exact dates for categorizing each generation are often in debate, Stefan Swanepoel, author of the 2007 Swanepoel Trends Report, says there is no debate about their existence and the fact that each has very different characteristics, resulting from the events that shaped them.
According to Swanepoel as the Boomers make way for Generations X and Y, the world is gradually dealing with the change – real estate is no exception. Each new generation reacts and seeks to change what the previous generations have done, leaving their own footprint on society and business. Although there is no agreement on the exact dates, the following is the generally accepted rule of thumb.
G.I. Generation (1901 – 1924) Silent Generation (1925 – 1945) Baby Boomers (1946 – 1964) Gen X or Baby Busters (1965 – 1976) Gen Y/Millenials/Echo Boomers (1977 – 1994)
The first Echo Boomers (Generation Y) are turning 30 next year, which puts the majority of them in their twenties today. They are a determined, daring and smart group that grew up in a period in which the Internet already existed. As a result, they are very comfortable with every aspect of the medium. They have surfed, watched, recorded, listened and downloaded just about everything they can and are now beginning to effect significant change in the real estate industry.
Even as homeowners Echo Boomers approach matters very differently. They are more likely to buy a home at a younger age than previous generations. They are also not like their Boomer parents that waited for marriage or even a long-term relationship before becoming homeowners. Their thoughts, desires and perspectives are going to change the way the industry conducts itself – like it or not.
The real estate industry is facing a large, escalating change in customer demographics. The Internet is maturing and the door is opening for entry into the industry by newer business models that are heavily focused on fulfilling consumer needs rather than just completing a sales transaction. In 2005, 40% of homebuyers were first time buyers and 50% of them were between the ages of 25 and 34 (Gen X and Echo Boomers). Even more telling – 38% of all homebuyers in that period were under the age of 35.
According to numerous studies undertaken by NAR and the California Association of Realtors® (CAR), approximately 70% of all homebuyers start their search on the Internet. In 2003 the percentage of Internet Buyers and Traditional Buyers was equal. In 2000 Internet buyers represented only 30%.
These new savvy online consumers are looking to the Internet as a tool to fulfill their home buying experience. What they use the Internet for and the extent and quality of service available are starting to shape the real estate process. “Home buyers and sellers are a generational melting pot and understanding each generation will soon become paramount for all brokers and agents,” Swanepoel says. “It is quickly becoming a necessity for agents to become a generational expert in order to effectively serve all their home buying and selling customers.”
Learning to work effectively with each different generation is as much about improving one’s personal skill set as it is re-engineering the real estate professional. That said, according to Tom Stevens, immediate past president of NAR, the next generation of homeowners is already beginning to exert its influence on the housing market so there is no time to lose.
Between 2001 and 2005, NAR reported that the number of first time homebuyers under the age of 25 increased from 11% to14%. When you increase that age to 35 the percentage jumps to 64%. Add to that the fact that the median age of buyers who used the Internet to search for homes in 2005 was 38 and the picture becomes very clear. In 2005, 40% were Generation X and 39% were Echo Boomers … that’s 8 out of every 10 new homebuyers.
Gen X and the Echo Boomers represent the push for newer approaches and processes that are integrated into the “technology” platforms they are not only familiar with but the very ones they helped develop. Companies like Edina and others that are re-engineering their businesses to understand, market to and focus on this growing younger market are smart and wise.
For the others, don’t wait too long or you may find your business eclipsed as fast as new concepts like MySpace, YouTube and Facebook became mainstream. If you are looking for more information on how to restructure your company, look no further than the 159-page Swanepoel TRENDS Report.

How do You Get a Great Girl… and How Do You Keep Her?
Posted by: prenotazione on: May 28, 2007
Guys don’t talk about this stuff. Sure maybe once in a while your best friend might tell you that you’re being too nice or your clothes are out of style, but we are not bombarded with information and advice on how to succeed with women. That’s normal. In general, men are valued, and value themselves, on their accomplishments.
It’s different for women. In general, women are valued, or value themselves, on their relationships. You probably know this, but the implications are important.
Have you ever heard women talking in great detail about their hair? Where they get it cut, how they get it cut, what shampoo, what conditioner, what highlights, it goes on and on. Not just about hair either, but about clothes, makeup, shoes, skin care, etc. For most of my life, I thought this meant women were unusually vain, superficial, and obsessed with minutia.
Now look at it from a woman’s perspective. That stuff is pretty darn important. Even in today’s world, women are judged, especially by other women, on how they look and what kind of man they have. After a certain age, ranging from early 20s in small conservative towns to about 30 in some big cities, a single woman around her married or committed friends is an object of pity, even if they pretend to envy her to make her feel better. So women’s magazines focus on this: how to look good, how to find a man, how to get a man, how to keep a man. This doesn’t mean I endorse that view or see women that way, but as we often tell men on our weekend workshops – we didn’t make the world; we just live in it.
So let’s talk about this world – the real world – as it pertains to dating
Most people get their subconscious mental map of how dating works from movies and TV shows. These do not accurately portray reality. The audience wants the shy and lovable man to get the girl. In real life he goes home alone, while she goes to a party with the challenging man who has an edge to him. Most women do not know, or do not want to admit to themselves, what really attracts them, so their advice is not always helpful There are no magic bullets – no “pickup lines” or pheromones or other shortcuts. If you don’t intuitively understand the psychology behind dating, you either learn it or you hope for luck.
Men rarely want to admit that are not completely successful with women. If a man approaches a woman at a bar and gets rejected, he comes back to his friends and says she was ugly up close or a bitch or any other excuse. This helps him not feel rejected, especially in front of his friends. However, the best thing he could have done would have been to divorce his ego from the process and then figure out why the rejection occurred. The ego issue is crucial – she wasn’t rejecting him, she was rejecting his approach. How could she possibly be rejecting him when she only talked to him for 30 seconds? He just needs to get better at those 30 seconds, then the next 30 seconds, then the 30 seconds after that, and so on. Then he can invest emotional energy in her.
Well guess what? Starting with a few brave souls, there is a community of men who have been learning from each other what works and what doesn’t in the real world. A recent bestselling book, The Game, by Neil Strauss documented how he, as a shy and balding 30something man (5′6, 120lbs) became recognized as the world’s #1 Pickup Artist after working with the top experts in the field from The Mystery Method, the premier dating coaching resource for men worldwide. It’s a trend. Your friends, your neighbors, your competition are all among the estimated 3 million men worldwide who have learned from one of these real world dating/seduction schools. It’s like better shampoo for women, except it has a far more dramatic impact, and still not everyone knows about it.
Try these tips next time you go out!
I certainly don’t have time to go into all of the precepts of The Mystery Method here, but there are basic pointers that I can give that are pretty universal and will improve your success just by themselves. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it’s a start:
Approach a woman within 3 seconds of seeing her. Don’t stall. You’ll get more nervous and she’ll see you working up your courage. Just go in.
Start with an opinion opener. “Hey, settle this drama for us. My friend over there wants to date his cousin’s ex-girlfriend. Is that cool? How long should he have to wait?” is perfectly fine as an opener. Within 1-2 minutes, switch to another topic. Ask for the opinion as if it’s a real situation; otherwise they’ll think you’re taking a survey.
If she’s with friends, engage her group. Don’t pay special attention to her. Make her earn your attention.
Your body language is crucial. Nearly every guy at our workshops starts off doing most of the following: leaning in to talk to women (stand up straight, always); talking too softly; not smiling; or talking too fast.
Build attraction before building comfort. Don’t prove to her that you’re nice. Prove to her that you have value. Tell her stories that just happen to convey good things about yourself. Make her laugh. Tease her a bit, like she’s your bratty little sister. Many women love that if done in moderation. Once you have mutual attraction, then and only then build comfort by looking for common interests and finding out about each other.
For most women it takes approximately 7 hours from meeting her the first time to having sex with her. Don’t obey this schedule like a slave, but realize that going faster may risk freaking her out (or not seeing her a second time) and taking too long might put you in the Let’s Just Be Friends zone.
