What drives the economy? People. People are behind every transaction. Business leaders will be the first to say that the most costly thing in business is personnel turnover. Unemployment is at 9.7%. This has led to an unstable work environment filled with a diverse group of workers. No matter what age, it is necessary to understand the different personality types that workers possess. For post-Baby Boomer generations, it can be a challenge to educate them about personality assessment, while still maintaining their interest. The recently released book, It’s Not You It’s Your Personality: Skills to Survive and Thrive in the Modern Workplace, may have the solution.
There is an undying stratification in how the new generation of workers relate to their older peers. Technology sets them apart. A feeling of entitlement is out there for many workers. Each experience in life creates the personality a worker brings to the table. Dr. Diane Hamilton and co-author daughter, Toni Rothpletz, argue that if Americans want to be successful, its time to look inside and find out what inherently makes them tick. The authors explain how to do this in their fun and sometimes irreverent look at the current workplace.
It is essential for people to understand their own personality and to realize the impact their interactions may have on others. This is becoming increasingly more important as business owners and managers look to keep harmony among workers. Morale is important and if there is friction among personalities, managers are forced to make some tough decisions.
Toni and I believe that it is the workers responsibility to know their own personality and how their responses may be judged by others, says Hamilton, If anything, this economy has shown us that it is essential that we take ownership of our roles in the workplace. We wrote this book to help the modern worker learn some important personality skills while still having fun in the process.
Personality tests can be an informative tool. Myers-Briggs, DISC, The Big Five, Birth Order, Color Tests, Emotional Intelligence and other top personality tests are used by employers to assess potential and current employees. Hamilton and Rothpletz argue that it gives workers a leg up to have these powerful self-learning mechanisms. There are so many personality assessments, it can get confusing to know which one to research. Its Not You, Its Your Personality explains the top assessments and shows readers that learning about themselves and their coworkers can be a lot of fun.
Mother/daughter team of Hamilton and Rothpletz, set out to edutain (educate and entertain) their post-Baby Boomer working world audience. If someone has ever wondered how their personality compared to famous celebrities like Lady Gaga or Johnny Depp, they may get some answers. However, one of the most valuable things they will learn from this book is why these personality tests are so important to their success and future ability to get ahead in the working world.

More and more people are taking a hard look at starting an online business using weblogs. Over the years blogs have played a low profile role in online sales and marketing campaigns, whereas today we have seen them become the face of many small online businesses and even some corporations. Web 2.0 (the diverse spectrum of instant online communication) has made it easier to become interactive in ways which we were unable to achieve in the past. There are so many mediums through which communication can be implemented, that everyday people can reach out to the online world and promote a product or service with tools they never knew existed. Blogging, RSS Feed, Atom feed, micro-blogging, multiple instant messaging and even programs with which you can telephone people internationally for free or almost no cost. These free tools can equip and empower everyday people with a necessary means of running a legitimate communications or products service.
As a result of such diversity people tend to take notice every time new applications come to light. The internet is in our PDA, our Blackberry, even our cell phones. The television and gaming consoles can readily access the internet as well. The world is constantly being driven by these changing venues and evolving Web 2.0 technologies. Also because this has happened so quickly, it’s just that much more compelling. Even third world countries seem to be obsessed with the world wide web. India could be flooding, facing a devastating drought or even a terrorist attack; yet business goes on and their social structure is changing more rapidly than any other culture in modern history. This kind of change happens because the world wide web makes communication and interactivity so easily accessible.
In spite of all these ways which the internet has impacted the entire planet, most people are completely unaware of how easy and cost effective it is to get started in online business. Most of them believe that you need an expensive web designer to build your website and maintain it for you. This is untrue. There are some excellent hosting services that will host your domain for less than $ 10 per month and the blog can be installed as a feature included in your hosting package and you build it yourself. This is one of the most popular venues out there today, using a system called Fantastico, which instantly installs a WordPress blog into a domain root, literally at the push of a button. However even people without computers can go to the library, sign on to Blogger and build their own blog absolutely free. These blogs are sub-domains in the blog service and can be used to promote products and services on the world wide web for absolutely free.
At this point all they do is pick an affiliate product from one of the millions to be found within various affiliate marketing companies. These companies allow vendors to sell products by using independent affiliates to promote them. The affiliate just places the product on a blog or website and makes straight commissions on any sales accrued through his or her affiliate link. Clickbank, Commission Junction or Google Affiliate Network are all free to join, reliable affiliate marketing programs, wherin a person can find literally millions of products and services to sell as an affiliate. Be it clothing, bridal wear, jewelry, electronics, pianos, mp3 downloads, internet marketing software, computers, cell phones, ipods, ipads; the list goes on forever! Anybody can start an online business for cheap or even nothing, using a fully functional weblog as a website to promote products and services. They can post daily content about their niche and target their market, using keyword identification and interactive blogging with other like domains and bloggers. This market is now so target rich that anyone can set a reasonable marketing goal and achieve it. Blogging puts all the communications and promotions tools at the fingertips of anyone who is willing to try.

The SEO Guy Daniel Tan is currently busy toasting the success of his WordPress plug-in SEOPressor that was launched earlier this year amid a great deal of anticipation. Coming from the great guru who has been popular for bestsellers in the past such as the Backlink Syndication System and Rank Mover, SEOPressor was touted to be a big hit. That has just been proven true after SEOPressor crossed the 2 million mark earlier this week, which means there are over 2 million WordPress pages currently powered by SEOPressor.
SEOPressor now ranks among the top 10 bestsellers on the eBusiness category of their payment processor, ClickBank, a distinction that it has maintained over the past 7 weeks. People who have used the plug-in are commending on the high conversion rate, better search engine ranking, more traffic and easier sales that it is helping them achieve.
SEOPressor is a WordPress plug-in and an optimization tool both built into one. In a very innovative method, it does important search engine optimization automatically and suggests to users on how to better optimize their websites intelligently. As a result, major search engines like Google pick up the website in prominence to others since it is already well optimized.
SEOPressor Version 4.0 has also been released last month which takes care of some minor hiccups in the previous SEOPressor versions and makes it more user-friendly and intuitive. The tool performs the basic functions of its predecessors but adds to the performance with its stronger algorithms. In a nutshell, this new program can analyze keyword density and placement, length of content, title and header tags, font decorations and images and links. It can add ALT-tags to images, which, according to Daniel Tan, can improve the on-page optimization of a website.
The SEO Score, a hallmark of the SEOPressor tools has been revamped to work better with Google Analytics and to give a more precise picture of how the website will potentially rank on the Google tool. At the same time, its enhanced user-friendliness ensures that the user gets more suggestions from the service on how they can tweak their websites and make them rank better on the search engines. The intention is to bring more traffic on the website, thus enhancing its commercial prospects.
SEOPressor is available at http://seopressor.com with a video walkthrough on the features of SEOPressor.

B2Web’s Pro Plus All-Theme review begins with a Jon Dykstra’s background using StudioPress themes and how he decided to make the investment to become a Pro Plus member. It then discusses the benefits of the membership and how StudioPress’ All-Theme package differs from other major premium theme developers.
The review ends with an example of how the membership paid for itself for Mr. Dykstra within 1 week followed by several frequently asked questions prospective purchasers have about this all-theme option.
It’s also important to point out that an all-theme package is not for everybody. It’s a waste of money for anyone who doesn’t intend to launch multiple websites, either for their own purposes or for clients. But for anyone who may get into developing sites on an ongoing basis, the StudioPress Pro Plus package can be an excellent investment.

The AgentPress theme review by B2Web provides more than enough information on whether this is the right theme for any real estate website, but it takes the review concept further by providing resources for realtors. The resources include a full video course on how to build a real estate website with the AgentPress theme, a full video course on how to build single property websites and links to 2 custom demo sites created by the folks behind B2Web.
AgentPress is an above-average theme in terms of complexity because it’s formatted with real estate listing pages and a robust property search function. Therefore, this theme requires planning and learning in order to set up a professional real estate WordPress website. B2Web’s AgentPress review provides all the tools and resources any realtor needs to get website up and running with the AgentPress theme.
Moreover, the review by B2Web makes a good point at the end of the review that many listing agents could do well to create single property websites, which is possible with AgentPress.

E-commerce is flourishing as many people prefer to order online and get their products at home rather than searching for them in stores. With this in mind, many business owners decide it is time for their shop to go online; but the moment they want to make the switch they encounter the first problem: What platform is best for their activity and how can they set up an e-commerce website?
Fiona Lewis, founder and CEO at Super Savvy Business, comes to help them with a new website video news release in which she explains what these entrepreneurs need to do in order to create professional and user-friendly websites. She begins her video release by sharing two of the platforms that can be used to set up an e-commerce. As most of you know, I am a big fan of WordPress websites, says Ms Lewis, and you certainly can make a WordPress website into a very functional and very sleek e-commerce platform. To do this, you are going to need a plugin, called Woo Commerce. There are several e-commerce plugins available, but Woo Commerce is currently I believe one of the best options around.
However, when it comes to creating a website that only focuses on selling online, WordPress might not be the right solution. As Ms Lewis notices, if you want an e-commerce store which is strictly a commerce and its going to be a fairly large store, then you might want to look at some different options. One of the other open source platforms which is out there for e-commerce is called Magento.
Going on, in the video release Fiona Lewis also tackles over the issue of the checkout process that online consumers need to be taken through and the tools that an online store needs to put at their clients disposal. Ms Lewis explains that in order to have a functional, practical and respectable e-commerce, one needs to make sure that the checkout process is easy and flexible; she refers to the possibility of checking the items in ones cart and updating them, having transparent security measures and shipping information, and the possibility for people to store their personal details by creating an account or by buying as a guest user.
The second topic of the video release concerns WordPress plugins, and Ms Lewis decided it is time to speak about the three must-have plugins of every website. Fiona Lewis considers them essential plugins for WordPress, because they deal with three of the most important aspects of a website:
SEO
loading speed
backup
Insofar as the SEO aspect is concerned, Ms Lewis is of the opinion that the YOAST plugin is the right solution. It is an SEO-style plugin which helps you to optimize your pages for the search engines in regards to particular keywords she says. It has a whole pile of different functionalities and by installing this plugin you will be making your life a lot easier when it comes to giving search engines such as Google exactly what they want.
When it comes to the loading speed of a website, it is a crucial aspect for both search engines and human visitors. Fiona Lewis recommends using W3 Total Cache because,apart from the fact that it is good from a search engine point of view, from a user point of view if your page loads quickly then you are likely to keep people from bouncing off your site and getting frustrated because the page is taking too long to load.
Ms Lewis admits that, Ive used this plugin number of my sites and our clients sites at Super Savvy Websites and I really do believe it is the best option out there: you will notice a big increase in the time it takes for your pages to load when people are browsing through your website.
A backup system is a vital element of each website and of each business, so it is important to make sure that each business has an online backup for their website. Ms Lewis comes with a solution: she recommends online businesses to use the plugin called Online Backup for WordPress. She explains her choice saying that, it not only allows you to backup your database which includes things like your pages, posts and comments, but also the file system which includes media and attachments and other things like your themes and plugins.
When you have your backup done, you can have it emailed to you as a zip file or you can use the online storage system where you get 100 GB of free storage from the plugin creators themselves.
