Management"s Antidote for Turbulent Times; New Book Sheds Light on Emerging Practice of Using Interim Managers in Marketing and Sales

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) March 28, 2008

What is the little-known secret some CEOs use to keep employment costs down while maintaining growth strategies during uncertain economic conditions? The answer involves the prudent use of interim or on-demand managers within their Marketing and Sales departments, according to the authors of “Leadership On Demand: How Smart CEOs Tap Interim Management to Drive Revenue”.

Although companies today are familiar with using interim executives to fill temporary gaps in HR, IT and Finance departments the new book provides fresh insight and best practices on how to use interim, “just-in-time” talent to impact the revenue engine of their organization–Marketing and Sales.

The authors contend that too many companies have allowed temporary gaps in Marketing and Sales leadership to retard their revenue performance. The gaps occur in three areas: a key management position is vacant for more than a month, a critical set of required skills is missing in the organization, or there’s a shortage of management time to accomplish an important business initiative.

“This topic is one of great importance to our economy and society. The chapters do a good job of identifying the general trends that would lead a company to consider the utilization of an interim manager,” said John Mavers, First Vice President, Washington Mutual Bank.

Through its 14 chapters the book shows CEOs how to identify when interim management should be considered, how to structure an engagement, how to socialize the solution within the organization, how to justify the fee, etc. The book includes interviews from CEO’s, COO’s and Board members who share their experiences and insights about the prudent use of on-demand leaders in small and large organizations.

“Leadership On Demand: How Smart CEOs Tap Interim Management to Drive Revenue” is published by LOD Publishing, LLC and can be ordered from http://www.leadership-on-demand.com or http://www.Amazon.com. The suggested retail price is $ 28.95 plus shipping and handling. The title is available in both paperback and eBook formats.

Management"s Antidote for Turbulent Times; New Book Sheds Light on Emerging Practice of Using Interim Managers in Marketing and Sales

Book Celebrates 15 Years of Outperforming Wall Street Using NFL Strategy

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 9, 2008

In his new book author Eddie Getz explains the NFL betting strategy that has defeated Wall Street’s major indexes over the past 15 years. “The Underdog Theorem: How to Bet on the NFL and Win While Outperforming Wall Street” is written for the sports gambler and non-sports gambler alike. It presents a new idea, demonstrates its success, and aims to change the way fans view each NFL season.

“The Underdog Theorem is an idea that has been overlooked by every sports fan,” says Getz. “Yet readers will see that it seems slightly obvious in hindsight.”

Howard Schwartz, the marketing director for the Gambler’s Book Shop in Las Vegas, the world’s oldest and largest book shop dedicated to gambling, said, “One of the unique and refreshing new ‘how-to’ bet pro football books to hit the Gambler’s Book Shop shelves in many a year is Eddie Getz’s The Underdog Theorem.” According to Schwartz, “The book may be the sleeper of the year.”

“The Underdog Theorem” explains that the tens of millions of viewers surprised by the result of last year’s Super Bowl should have seen that underdog upset coming. Originally published one year ago, “The Underdog Theorem” was updated to include the results of its 15th season after it once again correctly predicted that no team would go undefeated in the NFL. The Underdog Theorem was dramatically reaffirmed when the New York Giants ended the New England Patriots’ run toward perfection and preserved the 1972 Miami Dolphins’ place in history.

“A goal of The Underdog Theorem is to introduce a new idea to anyone interested in the NFL. But beyond football, the book is for anyone who enjoys discovering new things hidden in plain sight — new facts buried in familiar results,” says Getz. “We’re only two months away from the start of the 2008 NFL season. After an amazing 2007 season, and with some fans and commentators predicting that New England will once again challenge Miami’s 1972 undefeated feat, it’s a fun time for more people to learn about the Underdog Theorem. And for the first time in years, Wall Street seems to be giving points heading into the season. Wall Street’s very bad year should help the Underdog Theorem toward its goal of outperforming yet again.”

“The Underdog Theorem” addresses America’s conflicted relationship with gambling and asks the reader to recognize how prevalent gambling really is in our society, especially on Wall Street. The book provides a brief history of the NFL, beginning in the 1920s and continuing through the incredible seasons of the 1972 Miami Dolphins and the 1985 Chicago Bears. It discusses the league’s struggle with free agency and its creation of the salary cap, and explains that these two developments made the Underdog Theorem possible. Each piece of the Underdog Theorem, and every step required to apply it, is explained to the reader. Finally, the book lists all picks the Underdog Theorem has ever made — every pick from every NFL weekend of the past 15 seasons, as well as every pick’s result and payout. These data allow the reader to see the strategy’s full results and thoroughly evaluate the idea for himself. Such transparency is not typically allowed in books of this kind.

“The Underdog Theorem” is available at the Gambler’s Book Shop, the High Stakes Gambling Bookshop in the United Kingdom, and Amazon.com.

Getz says the strategy was born of a very basic observation about all NFL teams. “Ultimately, I hope this book starts a discussion about an idea that claims something pretty bold — that it’s possible to predict certain outcomes in every NFL season.”

Eddie Getz used to work on Wall Street, but is spending this NFL season maintaining the Underdog Theorem blog at http://underdogtheorem.wordpress.com.

The RDS platform with digital music distribution combined provides full control of content delivery with digital music releases worldwide with affordable leasing opportunities available to all labels and artists in the specified territories through this new partnership agreement.

The RDS digital delivery software platform with digital distribution is available in two formats, a single label user lease or multi-label user lease. All leases include Rainysongs Digital Media Tool (compiling / conversion software) and administration console tools that are powered by Danmark Music Group LTD. Rainysongs Entertainment / Danmark Music Group USA (RSDMGUSA) are able to provide this new software platform combined with global digital distribution that empowers the end user to have administration control of every label and the digital delivery of their music to digital retailers (desktop and mobile) internationally with features that provide control and the ability to improve royalty revenues from digital music distribution.

RDS (Rainysongs Digital System) console and software platform will empower independent and major record labels, artists and bands allowing them system features that can be accessed from their studio, home, offices, bedroom, and vehicles – anywhere they can receive an internet signal via desktop or laptop.

Rainysongs Entertainment, the most innovative digital music label on the web and their new international partners Danmark Music Group LTD have unleashed the most advanced technology available in North America to the digital download music industry. RDS has officially launched through its new digital portal, Rainysongs Digital / Danmark Music Group U.S.A. RSDMGUSA

*If record labels have over 1000 title releases and would like to convert their digital music distribution to this technology platform, RSDMGUSA can provide the coding required to transfer catalog content at no charge. Making the digital move economical, simple and saving companies the hassle of re-uploading their content to facilitate the transition.

*Danmark Music Group LTD has been in the digital distribution industry for over five years. This past quarter alone DMG has paid out over $ 250,000 in digital royalties to their labels and artists in Germany, Denmark, Europe, Australia, and France.

WordPress Tutorial Video Released: The Ultimate Guide to Using WordPress

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 23, 2009

A new training series designed to help WordPress newcomers launch and maintain their own blogs is available from Infinite Skills, a quality provider of e-learning and interactive media. With over four hours of hands-on guidance, the course covers a wide spectrum of common questions and useful techniques, with longtime instructor Neil Oliver providing helpful narration every step of the way. The innovative teaching format makes use of video screenshots of the WordPress dashboard and configuration screens so that learners are guided through the entire creative process.

Now in version 2.8.4, WordPress has been a popular blogging platform and content management system in use for over six years. With each new update to the software, stability improvements and user-friendly enhancements have made their way into the code, and many people are finding that there has never been a better time to start their own blog. While the default WordPress configuration is developed so that users can create basic posts with minimal effort, more complex and interactive sites often require a finer understanding of the way the system works.

The Infinite Skills WordPress training was created to break down the complicated and tedious work of setting up a customized blog into a series of easy steps. After addressing hosting options, the course dives right into the WordPress dashboard to familiarize beginners with the full suite of controls at their disposal and to point out often overlooked or misunderstood settings. Significant time is devoted to posting new content and managing previously published material, and hands-on guidance is provided in uploading multimedia content, managing categories and comments, adding multiple users to a single blog, using widgets and plugins and more.

The Infinite Skills video format is designed to take the best of classroom instruction–thoroughness, clarity and expert quality instruction–and combine it with the affordability and ease of use that digital media can offer. Users are also free to control the speed of the course and the order in which they view lessons in the series.

Snowshoe Magazine Launches New Website Using WordPress

Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

SnowshoeMagazine.com, the sole e-magazine focused on the worldwide sport of snowshoeing, launched an all-new website its fifth iteration in its eight-year history.

Since launching in late 2003, Snowshoe Magazine has continued its mission to introduce snowshoeing to a mainstream audience, pluck people from their couches and place them in snowshoes, and provide a reliable resource to the industry through its editorial excellence.

Its so great to see the sport of snowshoeing grow each year, especially in a down economy, said Ryan Alford, founder and owner of Snowshoe Magazine. The amount of new participants reinforces how snowshoeing has become the winter activity of choice for people who are price-conscious and adventurous. Not only is recreational snowshoeing popular but snowshoe racing has invited a great deal of excitement to the sport as well.

Leading the graphic design and programming of the site was Gabriel Serafini of Serafini Studios, based in Oakland, Calif. Using WordPress and its myriad publisher-friendly plugins, Serafini structured the website in a way that would propel Snowshoemag.com into the next phase of its history as a homegrown, grassroots operation.

Given Snowshoe Magazines impressive track record, we wanted the new design to be an evolution that was appropriate for its continued success as the top snowshoeing resource on the web, explained Serafini. We ended up writing custom code to export 1,131 articles in 48 categories and 1,184 events from the old ColdFusion site into a format that WordPress could import. The final site is beautiful, usable and will serve as a solid platform for future growth.

Alford added, Were continuing down the pathway of awesomeness, plain and simple. Weve been attracting new advertisers, such as Columbia Sportswear, KEEN Footwear, PreRace.com, Talus Outdoor Technologies, Wilderness Athlete, and Yukon Charlies Winter Systems. However, perennial advertisers such as Atlas Snow-Shoe Co., Dion Snowshoes, Easton Mountain Products, GV Snowshoes, Mountain Safety Research, Redfeather Snowshoes, TSL Snowshoes, and Tubbs Snowshoes are continuing their support this season. And, of course, we continue to work with our partners: American Trail Running Association, United States Snowshoe Association, Winter Wildlands Alliance and WinterTrails.org.

About Snowshoe Magazine

Snowshoe Magazine is the sole publication focused completely on the sport of snowshoeing. The e-magazine offers original editorial on snowshoe racing, travel destinations, health/fitness, nutrition, gear reviews, and more. Snowshoe Magazine is a wholly owned and operated product of Alford Publishing, Inc., based in Denver, Colo.

About the Sport of Snowshoeing

Born into existence more than 6,000 years ago, snowshoes were used as a means of transportation. Once constructed with wood and cowhide, snowshoes provided a way to float on deep snow and allowed an easier method of traversing across frozen terrain. Modern-day snowshoeing is far different. Now constructed with aluminum and other tough outdoor materials, people find snowshoeing to be a great way to stay healthy during the winter months. Plus, through the sports popularity in the northern United States, Alaska, Canada and other worldwide destinations, competitions have sprung up to cater to runners and fitness enthusiasts. Snowshoeing is also on the verge of becoming an Olympic sport.

For more information, please visit http://www.snowshoemag.com or contact Ryan Alford at 303-332-4993 or e-mail ryan(at)snowshoemag(dot)com. To follow Snowshoe Magazine on Facebook and Twitter, visit http://www.facebook.com/snowshoemag and http://www.twitter.com/snowshoemag.

GoldenBookmarks.com Found a New Way to Advertise Using Wordpress

Wayne, NJ (PRWEB) April 30, 2010

For more than two years, GoldenBookmarks.com has been known as a top content management website which allowed its users to submit news and stories. It was recently acquired April 2010 from MateMedia company. Since then, it was redirected to a popular social bookmarking website, Psoop.com and was even put up for auction at Flippa. However, according to the owner of the website, Russel Gabiola, she no longer wished to operate a similar website as she had better plans for GoldenBookmarks.com. After several changes to the website, Ms. Gabiola has finally decided to setup an advertising blog using WordPress for GoldenBookmarks.com.

GoldenBookmarks.com uses a stylish magazine theme for its design with various features. It allows visitors to view the website in three-column layout with nice javascript effects such as slideshow, article sliders, newsticker, image mouseover effects, dropdown menu and many more. It also offers three widget-ready sidebars, a big option set with custom logo uploader, and uses post-thumbnails for easy uploading.

GoldenBookmarks concept is for advertisers to submit their content for promotional purposes. All submitted content will be featured on the website for as little as $ 10. What makes the website different and unique from other blogs is that GoldenBookmarks.com will never publish significant news events or popular topics which most bloggers would often write about.

GoldenBookmarks.com accepts all types of products and business advertising excluding those with malicious content. The submission is reviewed within 24 hours and will be released on the same day. Even though GoldenBookmarks.com accepts all types of advertising from companies, the readers can expect quality products with reviews and comments from clients.

GoldenBookmarks.com will serve as a business directory, classifieds, and review website in one.

GoldenBookmarks.com currently markets an online school as well as domain and website sales. In order to attract more clients, GoldenBookmarks.com has already sent out several press releases and has continued to promote the website using social bookmarking, PPC campaigns, directory submissions, quality link building, and search engine optimization. Advertisers will benefit from the website’s thousands of monthly visitors.

GoldenBookmarks.com has an Alexa ranking of 50,000.
