Advertising using Power Words

Words have the persuasion power to entice and motivate. They are used by the politicians, public relations personals, and even by parents to pass on their message. These words are known as power words and they can do wonders when used in advertisement.

New or improved words create a sense of curiosity. The customers get an impression that the product is something that is different from others and he tries to get it before anyone else does so as to have edge over others. The laundry products have always been advertised as new and improved, from years. Although it can be either new improved version of the existing product, but the power of both the words and the product reinforces each other’s strength.

Take for instance the line ‘Money back guarantee’, these power words helps gain the trust of the customer. It is a must to print these words at the closing line of an advertisement. After this sentence, the methods of payment and how money will be returned if the customer is not satisfied should be stated.

Most of the successful advertisements have a little known secret that surely generated curiosity within the reader. People are knowledge thirsty, they want to know what others do not know. They think that there is some vital information they are missing because of which they haven’t gained success in something particular.

Words ‘Insider say that’, is similar to ‘secret’. It gives out information from some expertise that is still unknown to the outside world and only if the customer gives money, information will be divulged to him.      

Free word in the headline of the message simply does wonders. The reader easily absorbs the message, unless and until something free is given to the customer in reality. By any change, if the company tricks the customer into paying money for something, which was supposed to be free, the trust of the customer is lost instantly. Usually the word FREE is spelled as FR~E on websites as ISP filters blocks messages having the actual word, considering it to be some kind of spam.

You is a very important word to be used in an advertisement. It directly points out the advantages to the customer, if he buys a particular product or service. Step into the shoes of the customer and try to note down the points which will be of benefit and what points will decrease the interest. The advantages then should be referred to the customer by addressing them with ‘you’. The customer feels that he is being directly talked to.

The word ‘Immediately’ rings in the emergency. It can be interpreted as ‘Don’t wait any longer, get it now!’ This motivates the customer to take some necessary and quick action.

Power in itself is a powerful word. Give that power to the consumer and see the magic. This gives the consumer a feeling that he can get possession of something that he lacked till now and this could make him achieve the impossible.

The basis of a successful advertisement is to understand the consumer’s needs and then design the advertisement accordingly. Just stating the advantages of using the product or service of the company isn’t enough. Sentence should be so designed that the customer should see his advantage in the product. For example, when advertising for a digital camera, just stating that the in-built memory of the camera is of 1 GB, won’t do the trick. Instead, the sentence should be changed to ‘enough memory to store 350 pictures or 50 videos’. The solution to the problem of the customer is reflected in this sentence. Ideas can be taken from advertisements of other similar brands like how the sentences are written and placed in an advertisement. After the sentence framing, adding power words to spice up the advertisement will definitely make a winning ad campaign.

How to get a job at an Ad Agency?

Getting a job at an ad agency is having tons of creativity. Advertising business is all about creativity; once the creative juices begin to flow the rewards are overwhelming. A good degree can take you places. Any course or a degree at a reputed university or an advertising school is a big advantage. People with fewer resources can utilize the Internet to maximum, as lots of material regarding advertising is available online, learning from the comfort of home. Having internship experience counts when trying in an ad agency. Internship provides ample exposure to the advertising industry and basic training can be skipped after getting a job. It is better to opt for an entry-level position as this makes your foundation in advertising very strong.

Many successful people are known to have started from the bottom most position. This provides us with an opportunity to work outside the job zone assigned which helps to learn the tricks of the trade. Even if future doesn’t look bright enough in the present institution this experience will certainly count when looking for a job elsewhere.

The resume is an important part of the job search and should reflect the creativity of the applicant. It should be amusing and at the same time professional too. Addressing a letter to the Creative Director of the company can be of good help. Find out thoroughly about him before writing a letter, which might also help in creating an impression during the interview. If the response is taking time don’t hesitate to post another letter. Calls are usually not appreciated as most of the people at an ad agency are busy round the clock and professionals at a higher position have to deal with many projects at once.

Look out for people in your the network which can sometimes fetch opportunities through references. These networks can be a source of information about the seminars, educational workshops and local advertising clubs. Doing voluntary work for special events will be worth the effort because if the work is really eye catching it will be appreciated by the guests who visited the event and one of them can be a potential employer.

If the big break seems real far its better to start freelancing rather than wasting time. Try creating original work and approach ad agencies and small business with your work. This can spice up the on-going job hunt. A graphic designer and a copywriter will have an advantage in this approach. If it’s hard to get a start create spec ads. Spec ads are personal versions of a published ad. A little bit of twist can sometimes result in a better ad than the actual one. Even if it isn’t this sure will bring you opportunities in small local businesses.

Start with businesses residing in your locality like the grocery store or the butcher’s shop. Later on approach television and radio stations. They always have vacancies for commercial writers and need a helping hand to develop programs. Since the income is less in these type of jobs its easier for a beginner to get a job.

Authentic work from home based job opportunities

Terrible time of recession many companies are looking forward to hire people who are willing to do home based jobs for those companies. Many companies outsource to freelance home based workers to cut off their budget. Technically those home based workers are not employees of the organization. So the companies can save a lot of money on several benefits such as provident fund, health insurance, etc.
The reason which attracts people to work at home for the company is that the payment is usually higher as the company doesn’t have to spend money for benefits. Also the freedom of working on your own without having a boss is the best thing about these kinds of jobs. So basically it’s about searching an authentic and satisfying home based job to earn a living. In recent times most home based jobs are being offered in the customer service industry. These companies hire home based workers in order to save their money. But they always demand high quality performance from you as they are paying you a good amount of money. There are few companies where you may have to pay a certain amount of money to sign up to that company.
Small companies often prefer home based workers as they can’t afford to provide high salaries like the huge companies. Small companies encourage these home based work ideas to attract qualified employees. You can search for these kinds of jobs in local newspapers or sites like TIMESJOBS.COM. Many of these positions are for data entry operators, Internet marketers, and Web Designers.
Internet content writing is another authentic and profitable home based job that many people don’t take seriously. You can easily sign up as a freelance content writer to companies that provide internet content for their customers. Well, writing contents can be a profitable job at home, but if you want to earn a good amount of money then you have to increase your skills in content writing and become an expert writer. Only expert writers can earn a lot of money by taking direct orders from clients.
In my opinion you should approach those home based jobs that demand an initial deposit unless it’s a renowned companies like Airtel or Vodafone. Most of the authentic jobs are being advertised by different companies on many online job boards such as Monster.com, Naukri.com, Timesjobs.com etc. Also most of the reliable companies will demand a resume and the completion of a company application. Getting a reliable home based job needs a lot of research.

Just what is Intelligent Explorer? For your safety, you really need to know

I recently hit, by mistake, what I thought was an Explorer upgrade option.  It turned out to be a pop-up appearing legitimate but really was not. It uploaded a product called Intelligent Explorer on my machine.  What a nightmare.

I did some research on the web and found messages like this one from a BullGuard Antivirus Forum.

Another message from spywareinfo Forum goes something like this:

"Hey I'm having issues with something called Internet explorer toolbar - Intelligent explorer. I can’t find a way to remove it from my comp and I really don’t want to reinstall windows. I've used spybot, ad-ware, and cw shredder but nothing seems to work."

It appears that Intelligent Explorer allows other software to be downloaded to your machine and this is where the problem occurs. What is even more remarkable is that by downloading Intelligent Explorer, their license grants them the right to install software add-ins on your computer at their will.  Take a look at what the software license for Intelligent Explore says (go to http://www.ieplugin.com/terms.html to read it all):

"You grant to us the right, exercisable by us until you uninstall the Software or this agreement is otherwise terminated, to provide to you the Service of downloading and causing to be displayed advertising material on your computer, through ‘pop-up’ or other display while you use your browser.  You acknowledge and agree that installation of the Software may automatically modify toolbars and other settings of your browser.  By installing the Software you agree to such modifications."

The company, IBC incorporated, is incorporated in Belize.  I really can't believe this license!


One end user found highly objectionable pop-up advertisements generated by this software bundled with Intelligent Explorer in the form of extreme pornography.

I have yet to break this.

Intelligent Explorer is a plug-in, which can create a new home page, as well as start up and endless loop of pop-ups. You can remove the view bar, but then starting up Internet Explorer will cause it to reappear.  I asked some friends to help, and no one could tell me what to do.

This is what I did:

    I bought a copy of a program called XoftSpy and it removed the software. It took two scans and a reboot to do it. This is not an advertisement for this product.  They advertised it was free, which it was to run, but then I had to buy it to actually fix anything. It cost me $40 and I am sure that there are freeware products out there as well, but that is what ended the nightmare for me. Other spyware products I have seen out there include spybot, NoAdware, Spyware Eliminator, Pal Spyware Remover, and Spyware C.O.P.

Let the buyer beware!

About Encryption and Making Your System Secure

What does encryption do for me?

Encryption and cryptographic software has been used in many different ways to make systems more secure.  This article discusses only a few ways that such software can make your system more secure, including:

1) Encrypting your email

2) Encrypting your files

To programs are mentioned that will help encrypt information. There are many more programs out there that will help, but these programs are good and a good place to start as any. They have the added benefit of both being free with source code available.

Will encryption stop people from accessing my information?

Encryption simply makes it harder for people to gain access to important information, like passwords or sensitive information in a file. The first thing you should know about encryption is that the algorithm that is used to encrypt can be simple or more complex and that affects how securely what you have encrypted is protected.  Encryption systems have been broken when the method of encryption is understood by hackers and is easy to break. 

Why bother to encrypt my email?

It should be noted that email is far less secure than paper mail for two very good reasons:  first, electronic data can be accessed easily over an Internet and secondly, electronic data is really simple to copy. There is a very good chance that someone has snooped around in your email despite your best intentions to stop it.

How do I go about encrypting my email?

There are many programs out there that can help you encrypt your email.  A very popular one is PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) or its Gnu offshoot GPG.  

PGP (http://www.pgpi.org/) self-describes itself this way: This "is a program that gives your electronic mail something that it otherwise doesn't have: Privacy. It does this by encrypting your mail so that nobody but the intended person can read it. When encrypted, the message looks like a meaningless jumble of random characters. PGP has proven itself quite capable of resisting even the most sophisticated forms of analysis aimed at reading the encrypted text."

Why bother to encrypt my files?

The answer to this boils down to what you store on your computer.  If you have financial data with important information like social security numbers, email addresses, account numbers and passwords, then you open yourself up to losing very valuable information.  Most corporate Internet security employees will attest to the widespread theft of very valuable information. As long as you are connected to the Internet you are vulnerable.

How do I go about encrypting my files?

AxCrypt File Encryption Software  (http://axcrypt.sourceforge.net/) Self-described as "Free Personal Privacy and Security for Windows 98/ME/NT/2K/XP with AES-128 File Encryption, Compression and transparent Decrypt and Open in the original application."

Introducing Session Management Php, Mysql Part-l

A session manages the interaction between a web browser and a web server. For example, a session allows an application to track the items in a shopping cart, the status of a customer account application process, whether or not a user is logged in, or the finalizing of an order. Sessions are essential to most web database applications.
A session has two components: session variables and a session identifier (ID). The session variables are the state information that's related to a user's interaction with an application. For example, the session variables might store that the user's shopping cart contains five items, what those items are, their price, what items the user has viewed, and that the user is logged into the application. The session variables are stored at the web server or database server, and are located using the session ID.
When a session is started, the user's browser is given a session ID. This ID is then included with subsequent requests to the server. When a browser makes a request, the server uses the session ID to locate the corresponding session variables, and the variables are read or written as required. In practice, session variables are typically stored at the web server in a file (the PHP default) or at the database server in a table. 

Shows how the session variables for Beth's session are identified and stored in the web server environment; the session ID distinguishes between Beth's session and other users of the system.
Using sessions, all of the variables that represent the state of an application don't need to be transmitted over the Web. The session ID is transmitted between the browser and server with each HTTP request and response, but the session data itself is stored at the server. The session ID is therefore like the ticket given at a cloakroom. The ticket is much easier to carry around and ensures that you get back your own hat and coat. Storing variables at the server also helps prevent accidental or intentional tampering with state information.
The session ID is usually transmitted as a cookie . A cookie is a named piece of text that is stored in a web browser, and is sent with HTTP requests, like data sent with the GET or POST methods. You can find out more about cookies from the interesting Cookie Central web site at http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/ or more formally in RFC 2109 at http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2109.txt?number=2109.

Are you a PHP developer looking forward to reduce your time in PHP development?

You are at the right place. The demand for PHP development is on the rise. And, the companies which deliver the best results in the fastest manner will emerge as the winners in the competitive web designing industry. You as a developer need to take care of the following important aspects in case you want to speed up the PHP development process.

Do you still use WordPad or Notepad for editing? Well, then you have not upgraded you knowledge. Go on and use free tools like EditPlus2 or PHPEdit. These tools will help you reduce development time and also offer some amazing editing options. If possible use an extensive IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for your development purposes.

Another important point to be remembered is that learn from your mistakes and capitalize on them in your newer projects. If you have made a mistake in your past project try and not repeat that mistake. This will help save your time as you would already be aware about the loopholes.

Whatever project you undertake, keep in mind that its pays to keep everything simple and lucid. If you write a simple code, it would be easier for you to overcome the technical hitches otherwise you can get into deep trouble if there are complex written codes. Keep in mind the objective and then go for the development.

Whenever, you write a code, make sure that you document it. This will help save your time if anything similar comes up in future. You can keep your coded with yourself or share in communities, who knows, someday someone might pay you up for your invaluable code.
