For those of you who are shy, or don’t have the faintest idea how you are going to be able to sell your Avon to strangers, you’ve come to the right article! This is not an easy task by no means for shy or introverted people. I am one of those people, but I am working on that all the time. Hopefully the tips in this article will help you overcome your insecurities.
WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF SUCCESSFUL?
Write down what your picture of success is. Everyone is different, so your image of success doesn’t have to be a house in Malibu. It could simply be having all of your bills paid on time.
CREATE GOALS!
Once you see yourself successful, think about what you have to do to attain that. If you think goals are not important, think again! Also, do not set your goals too high. Yes, you do have your ultimate goal of what you see as success, but you must set mini-goals in order to reach it. For instance, set a goal of speaking to at least one stranger a day. You don’t have to mention Avon, unless the conversation sways that way. You just want to get used to the idea of striking up conversations with strangers. Your next goal may be two strangers a day. Following that, three strangers, giving one of them your business card and/or brochure. The main idea is to set goals here.
SMILE! When you approach people, smile at them. Don’t look down at your feet, hiding from them. Hold your head high! You have something wonderful to offer these people!
LOSE THE GUILT! You are not giving your customers some sort of sales pitch for a lousy product. Avon is wonderful, you know it, I know it. So feel good about what you are selling! Sure, you’re making a little money. Don’t feel guilty about taking theirs. You have presented a wonderful product line for them to shop from. They know you’ll make a cut. I’ve never had a customer ask me how much I’m making off of them!
FIND COMMON GROUND. Depending on where you are or who you’re with, find common ground. If you’re at the grocery store, talk about the great sale on canned vegetables. Of course the weather is always an option, no matter where you are! Speak about your surroundings, wherever you are. You never know when the conversation will swing to Avon.
This tutorial will teach you how to create your own overlayed profile for your Friendster using Photoshop and Image Ready. This method lets you choose your own designs, from fonts to images, colors, etc. Even if you’re an absolute newbie, I’ll try my very best to let you understand these things the easiest way as possible. By the way, this tutorial is divided into 3 parts, Designing, Image Mapping and Slicing, and HTML coding. Its long but it has all the things you need to know and I assure you that after this, you’ll be making your own layout easily. Keep checking this tutorial often as I would update the contents and link for the next 2 parts. Comments and suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks and have fun while you learn!
Part 1: Designing – In this first part of my tutorial, I will teach you how to design a basic layout. I’m not forcing you to follow exactly what I did in the screenshots, like the placement of images, boxes, fonts, sizes, and colors. Just get the idea and after that, create your own design.
Things You’ll Need:
# Adobe Photoshop 7.0 or higher (I used 7.0 for this tutorial)
# Adobe Image Ready
# Macromedia Dreamweaver 8
# Overlay Generator
# Free Web Host
# Your Brain and Patience
Step1
Create a new photoshop image by going to FILE > NEW or by pressing Ctrl+N on your keyboard. For this tutorial, use this setting:
Width: 900 pixels
Height: 1500 pixels
Resolution: 72 pixels/inch
Mode: RGB Color
Contents: White
Step2
Open your image or wallpaper that you want to use as a header for your layout. We’ll be using this Beck wallpaper as an example.
Step3
Select the Paint Bucket Tool in the Tools Panel.
Step4
Fill the layer with black.
Step5
Now go to your wallpaper window and press Ctrl+A on your keyboard then drag it to your filled layer by using the Move Tool.
Step6
You can adjust the size and position if you want but its better if you keep it on top because it’s our image header just like this.
Step7
Now type the useful links for our navigation bar. For this tutorial, we’ll just use Home, Profile, Messages, and Logout. Select the Horizontal Type Tool on the Tools Panel and set your preferred font, size, and color.
Step8
This is my font settings, don’t follow this exactly, you can choose your own.
Font Family: Arial
Font Style: Regular
Font Size: 30 pt
Font Color: White
Step9
Then make sure that Layer 1 (wallpaper) is selected on the Layers Panel located at the lower right corner of the photoshop window and start typing the links.
Step10
Here’s my outcome. Remember that you can always place the texts anywhere by using the Move Tool while the layer is selected.
Step11
Now let’s type the other links for our sub-menu. Again, we’ll just type the most useful links.
Ex. Send a message, add as a friend, add comment, view my friends, and view my photos. To start, select the Background layer in Layers Panel, and start typing those links anywhere you want. Here’s what I’ve done.
Step12
We will now create boxes where we can place the contents of About Me, Comments, Media Box, Friends and Chat Box (optional).
First, click the Background layer in the Layers Panel and select the Rectangle Tool. I’m sure you already know how to select layers right? =)
Step13
Then click and hold the left mouse button as you determine the size of your box. Here’s my outcome.
Step14
I’ll teach you how to use the Blending Options so that we can give our box a different look.
Right click the Shape 1 Layer and choose Blending Options.
Step15
Then you’ll see this menu. Here you can adjust various options for our box. Set the Opacity to 30% and Fill Opacity to 50%.
Step16
Then let’s use the Outer Glow option and follow this settings.
Step17
You should get this.
Step18
We will use this box for our About Me contents so use the Horizontal Type Tool and type About Me then place it anywhere within the box. I placed mine here.
Step19
We are almost done for the designing part! We just need a few more boxes for our Friends, Comments, Media Box and Chat Box (optional). Now, let’s create our Chat Box, since so many profiles have their own chat box, I decided to have it in this tutorial. Now I’ll teach you how to duplicate layers so that you don’t need to do all the things we’ve done from Step 12 to 17.
Right click the Shape 1 Layer in the Layers Panel and select Duplicate Layer and press OK.
Select the Move Tool in the Tools Panel and move the new layer anywhere and resize it the way you want. And again, type the name for this box. Here’s mine.
Step21
As for the other boxes, just follow the duplication method we used. And Here’s my final outcome!Now we’re done! For now, save your work in PSD format and wait until I finish the next part of my tutorial. ^__^ As I always say, you can do your own designs, so try to experiment using these steps. =) This is just an example of a simple layout, so don’t complain if its not that attractive. ^_^; Important is you already know how to use some Photoshop elements and how to make an overlay profile from scratch.

Writing paid post is perhaps the most straight forward ways to earn some revenue from blogging. The way pay post works hasn’t changed much; after reaching mutual agreement with advertisers, you write about them, they pay you.

If you firmly believe that writing pay post is one good way to revenue from your blog, here’s a list of web services that pays you to write for them. This list will be updated periodically, so if you have a paid post service I’ve missed out I’d like to add them to the list. Necessary credits will be given.

Well enough about that..
Not so long ago I use to BET on this “LOTTING” game or sometimes they call it pick 3.
I maintain 3 digits from a certaing lotto game, and sometimes if I won’t forget betting, I WON.
This was not so long ago. I have a system that I follow, I use to get 2 or 3 digits a day.
I use to bet only on LOTTING for it was the cheapest yet the easist game to play, and considering that they don’t have some “lotto hearing”, so this just means that NO CHEATING.
So what I would like to share with you guys is this.
I will post my lotting numbers here.
Probably 3 combinations for different game.
Since SuperLotto has 49 balls and the other two has fewer balls.
So guys If you have “LOTTING” game in your area, this would probably the day you start betting on this game. You might get LUCKY.
In suertres, you bet like 3 times a DAY. In LOTTING you only have to bet once a day plus you don’t need to “RAMBOL”. You can save a lot of money on this plus you probably gain more by winning.
