No, you do not have to arm yourself for fears of riots and all that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;According to surveys, and the largest indicator of all, 'The Stock Markets' are all showing that...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Recession is Officially Over!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stock markets are up by 40%.  Job loss is going down, although there is still job losses not gains, at this point and the Housing Market is beginning to stabilize.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For those that have lost your job, this is probably no good news, as any news, because you still lost your job and may be still looking for one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, there is massive change happening in the way America does business. From the way we plan to produce Energy to the way the Banks are run. Not to mention Health Insurance Reform! It is a complicated mess, to say the least.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, if you study history, it will tell you that we always recover FOR THE BETTER after a major screw up. This Great Recession is probably what America needed. It needs to stop the Greed on Wallstreet, reform the Health Care system so that people are not left to die on the streets and to do something about Global Warming.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All these terrible things are being closely looked at, and ways to fix them are being formulate FINALLY, because we were all slapped in the face with a major Economic Crisis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, I god bless us all... and may we learn from this experience and hope for a better future!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Please, &lt;a href="http://news.google.com/news?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS335US335&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;q=recession&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ei=QHO1SpWOKJOy8Qaw7sGTDw&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=news_group&amp;amp;ct=title&amp;amp;resnum=9"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt;, to read about the latest great news about the possible &lt;a href="http://news.google.com/news?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS335US335&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;q=recession&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ei=QHO1SpWOKJOy8Qaw7sGTDw&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=news_group&amp;amp;ct=title&amp;amp;resnum=9"&gt;End of the Recession&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891146749435409642-9120023585164398436?l=planetxmail.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://planetxmail.blogspot.com/feeds/9120023585164398436/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://planetxmail.blogspot.com/2009/09/recession-may-be-over.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4891146749435409642/posts/default/9120023585164398436'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4891146749435409642/posts/default/9120023585164398436'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://planetxmail.blogspot.com/2009/09/recession-may-be-over.html' title='Recession May be Over!'/><author><name>Matt Kukowski</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16464303594892494573</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bplAR0vu_-g/SQ91P0wezDI/AAAAAAAAAAM/yHuwWhialJU/S220/matt1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891146749435409642.post-9103407373982970366</id><published>2009-04-24T19:51:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T22:33:47.242-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Recession-Busting Advertising!</title><content type='html'>Let's not live under a cloud and get all wrapped up in what every news network, newspaper or news outlet is reflecting. Reports are in, we are in a recession.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, it is not all doom and gloom, as many would have you feel and think. Sure, we can blame the financial savings and loans CEOs for causing all the problems. But, the system will bounce back. The Great Depression in the 1930's was many degrees worse, and we are no were near that point. The news media seems to like to make a serious situation, yes, into a panic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't fall into this mind set. After all, fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) will only cloud your thinking and let emotions rule your rational thoughts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This does not mean we all need to forget reality and believe nothing is wrong. But, in times of uncertainty, having a clear and healthy mindset will succeed over fear, any day of the week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The following are tips to go by while trying to sell in this Recession.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1) Make Everyone Happy&lt;/span&gt; - It is statistically provable that keeping existing customers happy is far less work than finding new customers. So, focus a lot of your attention on your existing clients, while at the same time finding new ones. Offer value over Neon and gimmics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2) Network with Others&lt;/span&gt; - Often times trying to do things entirely on your own will leave you in a position of isolation. Yes, even contacting your competitors and exchanging traffic can lead to sales not interested in your competitor but in your products/services instead.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3) Get Wild and Creative&lt;/span&gt; - Thinking outside the box and going wildly unconventional will allow you to stand out from the rest. In tough times, some of the most innovative ideas are invented. So, do not hold back, instead don't be afraid to try new things.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4) Evaluate your Sales Pages&lt;/span&gt; - What may have been working in the past, may not be working for you now. Go through each and every sales page and try new ideas. Update your drafts with a fine tooth comb and get all your ideas into efficient wording. No one has time to read pages and pages of rambling.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5) Do not panic&lt;/span&gt; - Do not let the media scare you. A lot of fear is to blame for a crumbling economy, which only makes things worse. Stay positive and let your thoughts focus on value of what your trying to offer, and not doom and gloom about the state of the economy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://planetxmail.com/"&gt;Planet X Mail&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://freeadplanet.com/"&gt;Free AD Planet&lt;/a&gt; offer many (default)  FREE services. I own and operate them both. I am at the helm of all aspects of both sites. Planet X Mail being in business since Oct 2001 (7+ years!) and Free AD Planet (a compliment to PXM) open since February 2007. Our databases are active and kicking with prospects. A full 7+ years worth of mailing list collections, which we provide to our clients, mostly free of charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, that is it for now.
