¿Is Affiliate Marketing The Way?
Start simple – don’t get caught in the trap and technical “mumbo jumbo” of
creating your own product. Don’t get me wrong, creating products is the best way
to build wealth (heck, I do it all the time now). But, creating your own product is
also the best way to fail as an entrepreneur if you don’t do it right.

Anik Singal, Affiliate Classroom Inc

Is affiliate Marketing the way?
Affiliate marketing is a high rewards and low cost marketing option to monetize our
websites.
As per Derrick VanDyke the basic components of a marketing system are: a hot
product, a squeeze page to collect leads, a follow up system to sell for you, and
bring you ….TRAFFIC!
A good example of affiliate marketing is
Amazon.com which launched into
prominence the affiliate marketing concept. Since 1997, Amazon.com sells books
and tons of other merchandise lately, online and only online.
To succeed online we have to develop excellent products. The beauty about
affiliate marketing is that there are great products we have to judge and pick the
best available ones from the best merchants, for us to sell in exchange of a
commission.
Instead of spending huge amounts of money in developing products and services,
and building a system to market them, we devote our efforts into sending people
into the merchants accounts and then collecting commissions from the sales
produced by our referrals or the prospects we send to the affiliate merchant site.
There is a huge potential to make money on the Internet. However, it does take a
lot more than intelligence, to make money and succeed in this business. Mathew
Glandfield states that, “the way we approach this business will determine whether
we will be successful or not.”

21 Tactics to Increase Blog Traffic

Posted by randfish on Thu (8/31/06) at 01:53 AM Blogging


A considerable portion of my consulting time has recently revolved around the optmization of corporate blogs (or the addition of blogs to revamped sites). As usual, I find a pattern emerging in the strategies that need attention and the pitfalls that must be avoided. So, rather than charging $400 an hour to give advice on the subject, I thought it would be valuable to share many of the most common pieces of advice here on the blog (business part of Rand fights with open source Rand, but loses, as usual).


  1. Choose the Right Blog Software (or Custom Build)

    The right blog CMS makes a big difference. If you want to set yourself apart, I recommend creating a custom blog solution - one that can be completely customized to your users. In most cases, WordPress, Blogger, MovableType or Typepad will suffice, but building from scratch allows you to be very creative with functionality and formatting. The best CMS is something that's easy for the writer(s) to use and brings together the features that allow the blog to flourish. Think about how you want comments, archiving, sub-pages, categorization, multiple feeds and user accounts to operate in order to narrow down your choices. OpenSourceCMS is a very good tool to help you select a software if you go that route.

    -
  2. Host Your Blog Directly on Your Domain

    Hosting your blog on a different domain from your primary site is one of the worst mistakes you can make. A blog on your domain can attract links, attention, publicity, trust and search rankings - by keeping the blog on a separate domain, you shoot yourself in the foot. From worst to best, your options are - Hosted (on a solution like Blogspot or Wordpress), on a unique domain (at least you can 301 it in the future), on a subdomain (these can be treated as unique from the primary domain by the engines) and as a sub-section of the primary domain (in a subfolder or page - this is the best solution).

    -
  3. Write Title Tags with Two Audiences in Mind

    First and foremost, you're writing a title tag for the people who will visit your site or have a subscription to your feed. Title tags that are short, snappy, on-topic and catchy are imperative. You also want to think about search engines when you title your posts, since the engines can help to drive traffic to your blog. A great way to do this is to write the post and the title first, then run a few searches at Overture, WordTracker & KeywordDiscovery to see if there is a phrasing or ordering that can better help you to target "searched for" terms.

    -
  4. Participate at Related Forums & Blogs

    Whatever industry or niche you're in, there are bloggers, forums and an online community that's already active. Depending on the specificity of your focus, you may need to think one or two levels broader than your own content to find a large community, but with the size of the participatory web today, even the highly specialized content areas receive attention. A great way to find out who these people are is to use Technorati to conduct searches, then sort by number of links (authority). Del.icio.us tags are also very useful in this process, as are straight searches at the engines (Ask.com's blog search in particular is of very good quality).

    -
  5. Tag Your Content

    Technorati is the first place that you should be tagging posts. I actually recommend having the tags right on your page, pointing to the Technorati searches that you're targeting. There are other good places to ping - del.icio.us and Flickr being the two most obvious (the only other one is Blogmarks, which is much smaller). Tagging content can also be valuable to help give you a "bump" towards getting traffic from big sites like Reddit, Digg & StumbleUpon (which requires that you download the toolbar, but trust me - it's worth it). You DO NOT want to submit every post to these sites, but that one out of twenty (see tactic #18) is worth your while.

    -
  6. Launch Without Comments (and Add Them Later)

    There's something sad about a blog with 0 comments on every post. It feels dead, empty and unpopular. Luckily, there's an easy solution - don't offer the ability to post comments on the blog and no one will know that you only get 20 uniques a day. Once you're upwards of 100 RSS subscribers and/or 750 unique visitors per day, you can open up the comments and see light activity. Comments are often how tech-savvy new visitors judge the popularity of a site (and thus, its worth), so play to your strengths and keep your obscurity private.

    -
  7. Don't Jump on the Bandwagon

    Some memes are worthy of being talked about by every blogger in the space, but most aren't. Just because there's huge news in your industry or niche DOES NOT mean you need to be covering it, or even mentioning it (though it can be valuable to link to it as an aside, just to integrate a shared experience into your unique content). Many of the best blogs online DO talk about the big trends - this is because they're already popular, established and are counted on to be a source of news for the community. If you're launching a new blog, you need to show people in your space that you can offer something unique, different and valuable - not just the same story from your point of view. This is less important in spaces where there are very few bloggers and little online coverage and much more in spaces that are overwhelmed with blogs (like search, or anything else tech-related).

    -
  8. Link Intelligently

    When you link out in your blog posts, use convention where applicable and creativity when warranted, but be aware of how the links you serve are part of the content you provide. Not every issue you discuss or site you mention needs a link, but there's a fine line between overlinking and underlinking. The best advice I can give is to think of the post from the standpoint of a relatively uninformed reader. If you mention Wikipedia, everyone is familar and no link is required. If you mention a specific page at Wikipedia, a link is necessary and important. Also, be aware that quoting other bloggers or online sources (or even discussing their ideas) without linking to them is considered bad etitquette and can earn you scorn that could cost you links from those sources in the future. It's almost always better to be over-generous with links than under-generous. And link condoms? Only use them when you're linking to something you find truly distasteful or have serious apprehension about.

    -
  9. Invite Guest Bloggers

    Asking a well known personality in your niche to contribute a short blog on their subject of expertise is a great way to grow the value and reach of your blog. You not only flatter the person by acknowedging their celebrity, you nearly guarantee yourself a link or at least an association with a brand that can earn you readers. Just be sure that you really are getting a quality post from someone that's as close to universally popular and admired as possible (unless you want to start playing the drama linkbait game, which I personally abhor). If you're already somewhat popular, it can often be valuable to look outside your space and bring in guest authors who have a very unique angle or subject matter to help spice up your focus. One note about guest bloggers - make sure they agree to have their work edited by you before it's posted. A disagreement on this subject after the fact can have negative ramifications.

    -
  10. Eschew Advertising (Until You're Popular)

    I hate AdSense on blogs. Usually, I ignore it, but I also cast a sharp eye towards the quality of the posts and professionalism of the content when I see AdSense. That's not to say that contextual advertising can't work well in some blogs, but it needs to be well integrated into the design and layout to help defer criticism. Don't get me wrong - it's unfair to judge a blog by its cover (or, in this case, its ads), but spend a lot of time surfing blogs and you'll have the same impression - low quality blogs run AdSense and many high quality ones don't. I always recommend that whether personal or professional, you wait until your blog has achieved a level of success before you start advertising. Ads, whether they're sponsorships, banners, contextual or other, tend to have a direct, negative impact on the number of readers who subscribe, add to favorites and link - you definitely don't want that limitation while you're still trying to get established.

    -
  11. Go Beyond Text in Your Posts

    Blogs that contain nothing but line after line of text are more difficult to read and less consistently interesting than those that offer images, interactive elements, the occassional multimedia content and some clever charts & graphs. Even if you're having a tough time with non-text content, think about how you can format the text using blockquotes, indentation, bulllet points, etc. to create a more visually appealing and digestable block of content.

    -
  12. Cover Topics that Need Attention

    In every niche, there are certain topics and questions that are frequently asked or pondered, but rarely have definitive answers. While this recommendation applies to nearly every content-based site, it's particularly easy to leverage with a blog. If everyone in the online Nascar forums is wondering about the components and cost of an average Nascar vehicle - give it to them. If the online stock trading industry is rife with questions about the best performing stocks after a terrorist threat, your path is clear. Spend the time and effort to research, document and deliver and you're virtually guaranteed link-worthy content that will attract new visitors and subscribers.

    -
  13. Pay Attention to Your Analytics

    Visitor tracking software can tell you which posts your audience likes best, which ones don't get viewed and how the search engines are delivering traffic. Use these clues to react and improve your strategies. Feedburner is great for RSS and I'm a personal fan of Indextools. Consider adding action tracking to your blog, so you can see what sources of traffic are bringing the best quality visitors (in terms of time spent on the site, # of page views, etc). I particularly like having the "register" link tagged for analytics so I can see what percentage of visitors from each source is interested enough to want to leave a comment or create an account.

    -
  14. Use a Human Voice

    Charisma is a valuable quality, both online and off. Through a blog, it's most often judged by the voice you present to your users. People like empathy, compassion, authority and honesty. Keep these in the forefront of your mind when writing and you'll be in a good position to succeed. It's also critical that you maintain a level of humility in your blogging and stick to your roots. When users start to feel that a blog is taking itself too seriously or losing the characteristics that made it unique, they start to seek new places for content. We've certainly made mistakes (even recently) that have cost us some fans - be cautious to control not only what you say, but how you say it. Lastly - if there's a hot button issue that has you posting emotionally, temper it by letting the post sit in draft mode for an hour or two, re-reading it and considering any revisions. With the advent of feeds, once you publish, there's no going back.

    -
  15. Archive Effectively

    The best archives are carefully organized into subjects and date ranges. For search traffic (particularly long tail terms), it can be best to offer the full content of every post in a category on the archive pages, but from a usability standpoint, just linking to each post is far better (possibly with a very short snippet). Balance these two issues and make the decision based on your goals. A last note on archiving - pagination in blogging can be harmful to search traffic, rather than beneficial (as you provide constantly changing, duplicate content pages). Pagination is great for users who scroll to the bottom and want to see more, though, so consider putting a "noindex" in the meta tag or in the robots.txt file to keep spiders where they belong - in the well-organized archive system.

    -
  16. Implement Smart URLs

    The best URL structure for blogs is, in my opinion, as short as possible while still containing enough information to make an educated guess about the content you'll find on the page. I don't like the 10 hyphen, lengthy blog titles that are the byproduct of many CMS plugins, but they are certainly better than any dynamic parameters in the URL. Yes - I know I'm not walking the talk here, and hopefully it's something we can fix in the near future. To those who say that one dynamic parameter in the URL doesn't hurt, I'd take issue - just re-writing a ?ID=450 to /450 has improved search traffic considerably on several blogs we've worked with.

    -
  17. Reveal as Much as Possible

    The blogosphere is in love with the idea of an open source world on the web. Sharing vast stores of what might ordinarily be considered private information is the rule, rather than the exception. If you can offer content that's usually private - trade secrets, pricing, contract issues, and even the occassional harmless rumor, your blog can benefit. Make a decision about what's off-limits and how far you can go and then push right up to that limit in order to see the best possible effects. Your community will reward you with links and traffic.

    -
  18. Only One Post in Twenty Can Be Linkbait

    Not every post is worthy of making it to the top of Digg, Del.icio.us/popular or even a mention at some other blogs in your space. Trying to over-market every post you write will result in pushback and ultimately lead to negative opinions about your efforts. The less popular your blog is, the harder it will be to build excitement around a post, but the process of linkbait has always been trial and error - build, test, refine and re-build. Keep creating great ideas and bolstering them with lots of solid, everyday content and you'll eventually be big enough to where one out of every 20-40 posts really does become linkbait.

    -
  19. Make Effective Use of High Traffic Days

    If you do have linkbait, whether by design or by accident, make sure to capitalize. When you hit the front page of Digg, Reddit, Boing Boing, or, on a smaller scale, attract a couple hundred visitors from a bigger blog or site in your space, you need to put your best foot forward. Make sure to follow up on a high traffic time period with 2-3 high quality posts that show off your skills as a writer, your depth of understanding and let visitors know that this is content they should be sticking around to see more of. Nothing kills the potential linkbait "bump" faster than a blog whose content doesn't update for 48 hours after they've received a huge influx of visitors.

    -
  20. Create Expectations and Fulfill Them

    When you're writing for your audience, your content focus, post timing and areas of interest will all become associated with your personal style. If you vary widely from that style, you risk alienating folks who've come to know you and rely on you for specific data. Thus, if you build a blog around the idea of being an analytical expert in your field, don't ignore the latest release of industry figures only to chat about an emotional issue - deliver what your readers expect of you and crunch the numbers. This applies equally well to post frequency - if your blog regularly churns out 2 posts a day, having two weeks with only 4 posts is going to have an adverse impact on traffic. That's not to say you can't take a vacation, but you need to schedule it wisely and be prepared to lose RSS subscribers and regulars. It's not fair, but it's the truth. We lose visitors every time I attend an SES conference and drop to one post every two days (note - guest bloggers and time-release posts can help here, too).

    -
  21. Build a Brand

    Possibly one of the most important aspects of all in blogging is brand-building. As Zefrank noted, to be a great brand, you need to be a brand that people want to associate themselves with and a brand that people feel they derive value from being a member. Exclusivity, insider jokes, emails with regulars, the occassional cat post and references to your previous experiences can be offputting for new readers, but they're solid gold for keeping your loyal base feeling good about their brand experience with you. Be careful to stick to your brand - once you have a definition that people like and are comfortable with, it's very hard to break that mold without severe repercussions. If you're building a new blog, or building a low-traffic one, I highly recommend writing down the goals of your brand and the attributes of its identity to help remind you as you write.

Best of luck to all you bloggers out there. It's an increasingly crowded field to play in, but these strategies should help to give you an edge over the competition. As always, if you've got additions or disagreements, I'd love to hear them.


p.s. Note to self - starting long blog entries at 11:30pm is not conducive to a good night's sleep. At least Angela got kicked off Project Runway tonight.

Web 2.0: The Future Is Now

Are YOU Ready For Excellence?

Discover Web 2.0

The quality of going beyond what is considered good, is a value we should cultivate in every area of our activities. Is there a limit for us to do good things, better and better?

In the brick and mortar world that would define Excellence. Online, it is a daily quest to build and use the best tools for wwwebsite surfers and for entrepreneurs, marketers and online developers to keep track of the ever changing world wide web.

The dot com bubble burst in the fall of 2003 marked a turning point for the wwweb. By the time, Dale Dougherty, O’Reily Vice president noted that far from having “crashed”, the wwweb was more important than ever.

Expectation is so great that the web 2.0 summit in Tokio was sold out before the organizers were planning for.

Web 2.0 is more than the latest technology buzzword. It is a transformative force that is propelling companies and individuals across the world towards a new way of doing business, characterized by user participation and interaction between all individuals and companies concerned in a networking process unparalleled in the known history.

There are many questions that require to be studied and answered. What does web 2.0 mean for you, your company and your business? What are the risks and opportunities? What are the strategies for successfully capitalizing on the changes related to web 2.0? Web 2.0 impact is just beginning.

Web 2.0 summit is the gathering place for business leaders of the new web discussing and debating the most important issues and strategies driving the internet economy and the trends for the coming years.

Web 2.0 summit featured speakers includes:

Donald Tapscot, Jesse James, Katty Sierra, Mark Zuckerberg Facebook founder and CEO. Facebook Is a social utility that helps people communicate with friends, relatives, family, partners, and coworkers. Nell Holloway, Seth Stemberg is cofounder of Meebo, a website for instant messaging and serves more than 6 million people monthly. Michael Walrath founded Right Media in 2003, which was bought by Yahoo in July 2007. He was awarded the Ernst and Young entrepreneur of the year 2007. Rupert Murdock, chairman and chief executive officer of News Corp, one of the largest media companies with global operation.Tanq Kim, Vyomesh Joshi, Hewlet Packard executive vice president of the Imaging and printing group, a 26 billion annual business. Vyomesh Joshi is yahoo`s board of directors member since 2005. Werner Vogels, is the chief technology and VicePresident of Amazon.com.

The speakers give us the idea of the relevance Web 2.0 has acquired and the acknowlegement that our future is closely related to this Internet development.

Networking and social Networking are building the new web, and relations are using the net to build a world wide community which is using the web to build a global system without borders, and which is ready to share photos, experiences, ideas, videos, feelings and a lot more.

Social networking is being used by leading Internet Companies like Yahoo, Search BigDaddy and Google. Names like Diigo, MySpace, YouTube, Blogger, Flickr, Facebook, del.icio.us, BitTorrent, DirectMatches, Technorati are helping build highly interactive groups and help us communicate with friends and associates around the world.

Sharing photos, videos, music, romance, documments is building a world wide community which are joinned by millions of users around the world.

There are words or keywords which are used to group activities, ideas or reason for people to interact online: web, services, syndication, programming, business, dating, design, relations, family, vacation, music, holiday, travel, nature. These words or keywords, are used as labels or tags to associate with the content we submit to or search for on the web. These tags are used as identifiers the search robots use to sort the huge amount of information we can find online.

For us a tag is a category label. Tags helps us find information which have something in common. Let´s think of tags as category names. People can categorize their posts, photos, videos, music with any tag that makes sense.

Tags or tag names can be anything but they must be descriptive. Tags should be relevant to the post or content they refer to.

Web 2.0 is interaction, relations, participation, sharing. The future is here.

Are YOU Ready For Joy And Sharing?

Christmas: Tradition Of Love And Sharing


Are you ready for the Christmas holidays? With love, when relations, gifting and sharing  are the feelings and  joy of the season? Christmas is the time for joy, love and relations.


God bless you and give you the best Christmas ever. Let love, health, prosperity and abundance come to you in an ever increasing flow of blessings for you and those you love and care for.


Make this the best Holiday season ever. The Christmas miracle season, brings the movement of money which creates wealth, hope, love and friendship for everybody. Chocolate, flowers, books, toys, all the way up to diamonds, luxury cars, the cruise of your life, are welcome during this holiday season and ever.


From the gospel of Luke we can experience the wonder of the original Christmas story. Amongst the shepherds living out in the fields an Angel of the Lord appeared to them and the Glory of the Lord shone around them, to bring the world great news of joy for all the people.


The Angel announced the birth of a savior in the town of David. Christ the Lord has been born. Celebrating Christmas on December 25th is a high point in the year. Since November, it is very difficult to forget that Christmas is coming. Colored lights, Christmas trees, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus are seen all over letting us know that Christmas is coming.


Santa Claus has become the human face of Christmas. Children are taught Santa will bring them toys and presents the night before Christmas. Christmas is a time   of magic and excitement for children and adults alike. Santa is based on a real person, St Nicholas, a Christian leader from the 4th century AD.


In the  American colonies, Catholics, Anglicans, Dutch reformed and Lutherans approved Christmas celebrations, which  began to adopt a joyful and often boisterous tradition from pagan cultures.


Charles Dikens, one of the giants of English literature gave life to Christmas by writing “A Christmas Carol”. Charles Dikens wrote from his own experience with his enormous warmth of feelings. Dickens was particularly successful at evoking the sights, sounds and smells of London. Charles Dikens novel “A Christmas Carol” popularized Christmas as a family event.


For various early cultures, December 25 was a significant date: Babilonians believed the son of the queen of heaven was born on December 25. Egyptians celebrated the birth of the fertility goddess Isis on December 25. Arabs believed that the moon was born on December 24.


Christmas is a great opportunity for us to treat friends, relatives and loved ones with great recipes. It is an awesome experience to share gourmet food, Christmas sugar cookies, Christmas berry mocha fudge, Christmas sour cream potato salad, chocolate brownie cookies, oyster stew, cranberry punch, traditional baked ham, Christmas bread and more.


Merry Christmas to you. Joy to the world, the Lord is coming. “Joy to the world with truth and grace”. Christmas is the most relevant celebration for western countries. Let´s have a Merry Christmas with friends, family and loved ones who join us around a table full of delicious food and drinks and with our hearts full of love, friendship and kindness.


As the ancient Magi or Wise men who came to visit Jesus: Melchior king of Arabia, who brought a casquet of gold, Caspar, king of Tarsus who brought myrrh in a gold mounted horn, and Balthasar king of Ethiopia, who brought frankincense in a censer, lets share abundance and prosperity with those we love and care for.


From the ancient Romans we  received the decorated tree. During their Saturnalia  winter festivals, they decorated trees with small pieces of metal, in honor of Saturn the God of agriculture. By the year 1531, Christmas trees were sold in Alsace, which at the time was a part of Germany. From Paradise, we received the apple tree, decorated with apples as a symbol of Adam and Eve feast on December 24.


Mark Carr brought trees to New York streets in 1851 and opened the first retail  Christmas trees lot in the United States. Franklin Pierce was the first president to introduce Christmas trees in the White House.


All the traditions we received from all over the world and different branches of our ancestors, are here for us to enjoy during Christmas holidays with all those  we love and care for. Let´s join around the Christmas tree, to share and enjoy the prosperity and abundance of wealth, health and love, as blessings from heaven  for being persistent and for working to build a better Universe for us and all the marvelous humans who are doing everything possible for every citizen of the world to enjoy a better life style.


God bless you and all around you. Let Christmas be the best holiday ever and the beginning of higher and better achievements.

Are YOUR Relations, Trust Based?
photo

 


What Is Trust?


 


Trust is based on the principle of reciprocity which binds society together. In value exchange trust occurs when we receive something, based on the “perception” or “feeling” that we are receiving what we expect.


 


From the emotional stand point we feel trust, when we expose our vulnerabilities to others, believing they will not take advantage of our openness. There are some emotions we associate to trust: companionship, friendship, love, agreement, relaxation, comfort.


 


“Trust means being able to predict what other people will do and what situations will occur. If we can surround ourselves with people we trust, then we can create a safe present and an even better future”


 


The “golden rule”, “Do unto others as YOU would have them do unto YOU” is a simple and great formula for creating trust.  Trust is a mental and emotional state which can not be measured directly. Barbara Mitzal points out that trust, makes social life predictable and creates a sense of community and makes it easier for people to work together.


 


Individuals and organizations must build trust to become successful. We build trust by doing something kind, helpful or useful for somebody else everyday. We must have a helpful attitude: To succeed as individuals and organizations we must find ways to help others solve their problems or give them something they need.


 


Whether as individuals or organizations it is better to be “green and growing” and embrace a lifelong learning experience to become more competent every day.


 


We must make decisions, whenever we decide we move forward, and by deciding we learn to take better and better decisions to help others and ourselves. Even bad decisions are better than indecision, because the later paralize and endanger the general purpose of going forward and becoming better individuals and organizations.


 


For the achievers of this world mistakes are learning lessons. We should be ready to trust our guts and our intuition. There should be a match between what we talk and do, which is called congruence, which is crucial to build trust and maintain it.


 


Our integrity should be unquestionable. The Us Military Academy, West Point code of honor reads: “I will not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do”. Successful living means doing the harder right than following the easier wrong.


 


Communication is trust building. Great leaders communicate often and well. When a child is told to do something, they frequently ask ¿why? Adults are no different. We want to know why we have to do something or why we go in one direction or another. We should state our intent clearly and repeat it in such a way we are not misunderstood.


 


It is emotionally intelligent to take full responsibility for what we do and where we are, without excuses or rationalization. Charles Swindoll said: “10% of success in life is what happens to YOU; 90% is what you do with what happens to YOU.


 


It is emotionally intelligent to admit when we do not know something, and follow the expert guide of those who are more knowledgeable in areas we are not very competent. Great leaders empower others by delegating without abdicating the final responsibility.


 


Trust is FAITH and the enemy is doubt. Let´s fill our mind with thoughts of faith, confidence, hope, charity and positive experiences. We must build that shared belief that we can depend on each other to achieve a common purpose.


 


Life is about building relationships which requires the building of trust. We are used to have the expectancy that we can rely in the words of others. Trust and relationships are built through integrity and consistency in our relationships.


 


To be successful with our teams we need mutual trust, shared values, an inspiring vision, complimentary skills and lead people by placing trust in people.


 


To build trust and good relationships we have to learn to listen. A conversation is a relationship and effective communication is paramount to building relationships and influencing people.


 


The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people. And the most important and closest relationship is the relationship with ourselves. We have to coach, love and care for us for what we are and for what we want to become.

Christmas: Tradition Of Love And Sharing


 


Are you ready for the Christmas holidays, with love, when relations, gifting and sharing  are the feelings and  joy of the season? Christmas is the time for joy, love and relations.


 


God bless you and give you the best Christmas ever. Let love, health, prosperity and abundance come to you in an ever increasing flow of blessings for you and those you love and care for.


 


Make this the best Holiday season ever. The Christmas miracle season, brings the movement of money which creates wealth, hope, love and friendship for everybody. Chocolate, flowers, books, toys, all the way up to diamonds, luxury cars, the cruise of your life, are welcome during this holiday season and ever.


 


From the gospel of Luke we can experience the wonder of the original Christmas story. Amongst the shepherds living out in the fields an Angel of the Lord appeared to them and the Glory of the Lord shone around them, to bring the world great news of joy for all the people.


 


The Angel announced the birth of a savior in the town of David. Christ the Lord has been born. Celebrating Christmas on December 25th is a high point in the year. Since November, it is very difficult to forget that Christmas is coming. Colored lights, Christmas trees, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus are seen all over letting us know that Christmas is coming.


 


Santa Claus has become the human face of Christmas. Children are taught Santa will bring them toys and presents the night before Christmas. Christmas is a time   of magic and excitement for children and adults alike. Santa is based on a real person, St Nicholas, a Christian leader from the 4th century AD.


 


In the  American colonies, Catholics, Anglicans, Dutch reformed and Lutherans approved Christmas celebrations, which  began to adopt a joyful and often boisterous tradition from pagan cultures.


 


Charles Dikens, one of the giants of English literature gave life to Christmas by writing “A Christmas Carol”. Charles Dikens wrote from his own experience with his enormous warmth of feelings. Dickens was particularly successful at evoking the sights, sounds and smells of London. Charles Dikens novel “A Christmas Carol” popularized Christmas as a family event.


 


For various early cultures, December 25 was a significant date: Babilonians believed the son of the queen of heaven was born on December 25. Egyptians celebrated the birth of the fertility goddess Isis on December 25. Arabs believed that the moon was born on December 24.


 


Christmas is a great opportunity for us to treat friends, relatives and loved ones with great recipes. It is an awesome experience to share gourmet food, Christmas sugar cookies, Christmas berry mocha fudge, Christmas sour cream potato salad, chocolate brownie cookies, oyster stew, cranberry punch, traditional baked ham, Christmas bread and more.


 


Merry Christmas to you. Joy to the world, the Lord is coming. “Joy to the world with truth and grace”. Christmas is the most relevant celebration for western countries. Let´s have a Merry Christmas with friends, family and loved ones who join us around a table full of delicious food and drinks and with our hearts full of love, friendship and kindness.


 


As the ancient Magi or Wise men who came to visit Jesus: Melchior king of Arabia, who brought a casquet of gold, Caspar, king of Tarsus who brought myrrh in a gold mounted horn, and Balthasar king of Ethiopia, who brought frankincense in a censer, lets share abundance and prosperity with those we love and care for.


 


From the ancient Romans we  received the decorated tree. During their Saturnalia  winter festivals, they decorated trees with small pieces of metal, in honor of Saturn the God of agriculture. By the year 1531, Christmas trees were sold in Alsace, which at the time was a part of Germany. From Paradise, we received the apple tree, decorated with apples as a symbol of Adam and Eve feast on December 24.


 


Mark Carr brought trees to New York streets in 1851 and opened the first retail  Christmas trees lot in the United States. Franklin Pierce was the first president to introduce Christmas trees in the White House.


 


All the traditions we received from all over the world and different branches of our ancestors, are here for us to enjoy during Christmas holidays with all those  we love and care for.


 


 Let´s join around the Christmas tree, to share and enjoy the prosperity and abundance of wealth, health and love, as blessings from heaven  for being persistent and for working to build a better Universe for us and all the marvelous humans who are doing everything possible for every citizen of the world to enjoy a better life style.


 


God bless you and all around you. Let Christmas be the best holiday ever and the beginning of higher and better achievements.
