Web Start-up Generates $500,000 in First Year Revenues


Freedom, PA (PRWEB) December 1, 2010

In the current jaded business environment, finding a start-up that has spent its entire existence in the black is a rare find. This little web service company has a big mission: to support web entrepreneurs and existing companies with web-content needs in building and refining their web presence.

With gross revenues of just over $ 500,000 and spending 364 of their 365 days of existence in a positive cash-flow position, IMarketing2030 LLC has a lot to celebrate. While preparing for the first anniversary of their web-content site, The Content Authority, CEO Shawn Manaher took a few moments to review some of the companys achievements in the first year and what to expect in the next during a recent interview.

1. What is The Content Authority all about?

The Content Authority (TCA) is one side of the IMarketing 2030, LLC business coin. The company offers services which include site building, development and rank tracking via Niche Tracker (NT), while TCA continues to provide article creation, where someone can buy articles and submission. They offer products and services that build on the existing online marketing campaigns of individuals and businesses.

TCA started as pure content generation, but it was quickly clear clients needed more. All of the decisions generating changes for TCA have occurred by answering a single question: How can we better serve our writers and clients? This is where NT has supported our client base and their goals.

The beauty of their format is that they have services that can fit every budget. From $ 10 to $ 10,000, they can help clients develop and distribute content in ways that will drive their business forward.

2. What have been TCA’s greatest achievements in its inaugural year?

They are most proud of creating a system that is user friendly for writers and clients alike. And they have done an excellent job this past year creating a web interface that supports 4,000 writers and a similar number of clients.

This has demanded a strong team. In the last year, they have gone from a staff of one to a staff of twelve. The freelance writers have created over 115,000 total articles, with a rejection rate of only 0.008%. In a very subjective industry, they have a failure rate at the five sigma level, approaching a six-sigma gold-standard. This is truly outstanding for a web-content provider.

3. Who have been the key players in TCA’s success?

The staff at TCA and NT have made it possible to support the writer and client community that drives their business. Each of the staff understands that the writers are the internal customers, the clients are the external customer and both are critical to the mission.

That said, some individuals stand out: Shawn Dolen, the head of the development team; Faith Kaltenbach is the glue that holds the Editing and Customer Care areas together; and Lei White who started as Senior Editor and transitioned into the Niche Tracker Manager as that became a key growth sector.

4. Why do clients use TCA? How is this company different from the other web-content services?

Clients use TCA to receive original and rewritten content for their site, blog and back linking sites.

They return for two reasons: 1) because they know that TCA will provide an excellent product at a very reasonable price and 2) They know they will receive the BEST customer service online for any content creation company in existence. They prove it each week. The customer service staff continues to expand in support of the growing client list.

Most content creation companies stop at the point of creating the content. Their methods is to build a back link powerhouse to places like EzineArticles, GoArticles, and a host of other rank building tools make them different. They are also approaching a new service release which will enable clients to order content directly delivered into their existing WordPress sites. More news coming soon!

In addition, they are different in that they are leveraging technology and will continue to support software development ensuring a wonderful experience for both writers and clients.

5. What is some good advice for new clients of TCA?

Check them out first before placing a large order. They know they provide an excellent product, but it is always good practice to start out small. This helps a user get used to how the system works, what to expect in terms of the quality and the turn around speed of orders.

6. What direction will TCA be taking in the future?

The focus this year internally will be further development of our Niche Tracker site, providing a simple and comprehensive means for clients to monitor all of their websites search engine ranking performance relative to their competition.

They will also be pushing forward on a new marketing strategy to get the word out about TCA & NT. This will mean they look to be making the rounds by participating in some of the top Internet Marketing conventions in the US & Canada. IMarketing 2030, LLC will also be actively identifying a network of strategic partners in this coming year.

7. Is there any last advice to give clients, writers, and other interested parties?

A lot of people have placed their trust in them this past year. They really took a chance with a new content creation site. The best advice for anyone who knows about them, whether they are are a writer, client or any other interested party: dont blink. This will be another year of agile decisions and exponential growth. Continue to trust them and they will continue to deliver the experience that any client may need. They intend to blow everyone away this year with all the new and exciting features and things we have in store.

The Next Blogger.com? Company Announces Wordpress Blog Hosting For $5.00 A Year, Allows Hosting of Any Kind of Blog Desired

La Crosse, WI (PRWEB) September 7, 2007

Midwest Monitor.com, a web host since 2003, has launched a blog hosting service located at http://www.fivedollarblog.com. The rate, as you can guess, is just $ 5.00 a year. The service is for those looking to host their blog without putting up with forced advertisements or server limitations. It is an ideal service for the power blogger seeking to conserve their dollars.

Besides offering installation of popular blogging platforms like WordPress, clients can have access to their databases through phpmyadmin if they request it. The accounts come with 200mb of storage, ftp access and an associated email address. Additional upgrades are available.

Is Fivedollarblog.com the next Blogger.com? The company admits that this might be a reach at this point. But the owner, Tony Horvath, says, “A lot of the big blog sites are losing their writers because there are too many constraints on them. In terms of functionality, many bloggers feel that something like WordPress is much preferred, but now you’re not talking free anymore. You need to get a host and some free hosts won’t do since they won’t allow you to have databases. While it’s true that we aren’t talking free, $ 5.00 is about as inexpensive as you can get. And you get to have any kind of blog platform that you want, not just WordPress, and not just our own proprietary platform.”

He continues, “The market for web hosting is pretty competitive out there. The fact is that there is a lot of unused storage and bandwidth, and a small company like mine can’t compete with companies giving out 80 gigs of storage. On the other hand, I’m not stuck with a bunch of machines that are doing nothing, so I can afford to offer a service that might not be worth the time of some of the bigger outfits. There are a lot of people out there looking to blog and I’m glad that I can introduce a little Midwest hospitality to the mix.”

One advantage of using this service is the ability to optimize one’s blog for maximum search engine exposure while not losing traffic to the host company itself. For users that find the services to be ideal, parking services are available as well so that even though the site is hosted at youraccount.fivedollarblog.com, you can inexpensively point a domain to your blog as well. The fee for this is nominal. For those deciding that they should simply break down and subscribe to a full service web hosting account, in some situations their account can be simply upgraded without losing any data.

MidwestMonitor.com, headquartered near La Crosse, WI, is also pleased to announce a relationship with Garcea Computers (http://www.garceacomputers.com), located in Rockford, IL. This arrangement allows the folks at MidwestMonitor to focus on the things that make them happy — web hosting — and still provide their clients an avenue to obtain quality design services.

“This is a solid arrangement, as design has never been one of MidwestMonitor.com’s strong suits. Garcea Computers has a staff with a lot of experience. Our relationship helps clients be certain that the web design services they purchase will be compatible with their web server, as both our companies will be working together.”

Jeff Garcea agrees, “I’ve been pleased to add various kinds of services that I offer. Lately we’ve brought on staff a designer with years of experience. We are looking forward to a long relationship with MidwestMonitor.com.”

If you would like to contact either Tony or Jeff for an interview, please use this email address: pr @ midwestmonitor.com.

If you are interested in the web hosting services of MidwestMonitor.com (currently boasting 99.68% uptime) please check them out. Sites that MidwestMonitor hosts include http://www.birthpangs.com, http://www.sntjohnny.com, and http://lutheransforlifeofmichigan.org.

San Francisco Singer/Songwriter Aoede, Afflicted with Extremely Rare & Debilitating Disease, Dermatomyositis, Wins 2012 Album of the Year & Best Folk/Acoustic Artist"


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

Singer/Songwriter Lisa Sniderman, aka: Aoede (pronounced A-E-D), has won Album of the Year for her 2011 release Affair with the Muse, and Best Folk/Acoustic Artist in the inaugural 2012 Artists In Music Awards. The awards were presented during the Artists in Music Awards ceremony, held during Grammy Week at the prestigious Key Club in Hollywood, California, February 10, 2012. The Artists in Music Awards gives special recognition to the best unsigned and independent music artists around the world. The Artists in Music Awards ceremony, created by casting agent, producer and host of the long-running online streaming radio program The Great Unknowns Presents, Mikey Jayy, was presented in front of a live audience of 1,400 people and was also streamed live online in HD.

Aoede will release her second full-length CD April 15, 2012, Skeletons of the Muse, which was partially funded by fans through Kickstarter. Skeletons of the Muse comes a little over one year since the release of her digital EP, Affair with the Muse, in March 2011, which shot her to #2 on Reverbnation’s San Francisco pop chart and #74 on the national chart. Also in that time, Aoede has garnered numerous accolades for her music, won multiple songwriting awards, developed a popular blog, engaged fans through social media, and participated in national motivational speaking engagements where she offers support, advice, and encouragement.

Aoede, who is also WomensRadio.coms recipient of a Top Album of the Decade honor, and Top Artist of the Year for 2008, in recognition of her CD release, Push and Pull, accomplished all of this, plus more, in quite the unorthodox fashion and against a very fierce obstacle – while suffering from a rare connective-tissue disease called Dermatomyositis for which there is no known cure. Dermatomyositis, which afflicts an estimated 5.5 people per million, attacks and weakens the immune system, muscles and skin as well as the mind and spirit, and if left untreated, could result in complete muscle wasting and long-term disability, as well as other complications.

Aoedes condition, the onset of which inexplicably began in mid-2008, worsened in September 2010 to where she had to be hospitalized for 24-days of treatment and rehabilitation. She credits two forms of treatment that is helping her rebuild her body and spirit: Intravenous therapies and creating Affair with the Muse and Skeletons of the Muse.

Aoede states, A large part of my healing process remains creating new music and connecting with people. The objective in getting these songs out was because I didnt know what life was going to bring. Music is my lifeline. I cannot perform live for awhile; so I hope to reach those who feel helpless and alone and offer inspiration and support with every ounce of my soul. Being recognized by Artists In Music Awards is a true honor and privilege and incredibly gratifying. It shows me it is really all about the music.

The unique Artists In Music Awards three-stage judging process stipulates that a combination of votes from fans and a panel of judges, comprised of music industry professionals, are required to advance the nominee to Final Category Winner Selection. A lack of first stage fan participation, resulting in low nominee fan votes, will lead to contest disqualification before advancing to the elimination round. In the event of a fan and judge vote tie, the fans cast the final vote.

According to Mikey Jayy, We believe we made the voting process as fair as possible. Aoede won Best Folk/Acoustic Artist with 50% of the votes, with the runner-up coming in with 25% of the votes. For Album of the Year, Aoede’s won with 63% of the votes, with the runner up coming in with 27% of the votes. Because she not only had the support of her fans, but also had the support of the judges, with that kind of support, no one can argue that she didnt deserve both awards.

Fans of Ingrid Michaelson, Regina Spektor, Feist, Lily Allen and A Fine Frenzy resonate with Aoede’s prodigal and passionate songwriting skills that synergistically blend melody and lyric into compellingly captivating musical vignettes conveyed in her imitable breathy, bouncy, and enchantingly quirky soprano.

An avid philanthropist, Aoede is also a co-founder of WomenROCK (http://womenrocksf.wordpress.com/), a Bay Area-based women-in-music advocacy group, and a driven environmentalist with a passion for water resources.

For additional information, interviews, and journalists wishing to review Skeletons of the Muse and other Aoede music, please contact Christopher Buttner, tel: 415-233-7350 or email: chris(at)prthatrocks(dot)com, for download codes and other requests.

The Ivy Mount Guest House Introduces the 5 Top Tips to Beat the Hotel and Bed and Breakfast Recession in the New Year

(PRWEB) December 15, 2010

If you own a hotel bed and breakfast that is struggling to keep afloat, there are some quick and easy steps to pull you and your business through the New Year (2011). These steps can possibly even earn you more money in the process. They can get more customers through the door, plus establish more regular clients; try the five steps and become a success.

The Ivy Mount Guest House (http://ivymountguesthouse.com/) in Manchester England has implemented these five steps and its turned the business around in a matter of months.

The best thing about it is that some of the steps are free (eg: TripAdvisor/ raising prices)

Step 1 is the most important step of all: your website is like your shop window- you are displaying what you have to sell. You should spend the most time on this step and make your website as personal as possible. Dont just let some web designer who has not even been to your business or does not know the area you are based in do all the work.

Put some personal touches in, be proud of your website.

Regarding the online booking agents, only use them until you get on your feet and the bookings start flooding in from your website. The commission fees can be expensive, but dont forget, a full room is better than an empty one.

The event days tab is a great way of getting some extra revenue. “In my B&B when Manchester United are playing or there is a concert in Manchester, I slowly realised I was one of the only people who were not putting the prices up,” said Paul Carroll. “The demand was so great that I was turning away around 30 to 40 people on these days. All you have to do is increase your prices on these days by 15% or 20% and reap the benefits.”

And finally, join TripAdvisor, the largest free online review and travel website in the world. “I could talk about this for hours- about reviews, displaying, answering reviews, displaying the sign on the website, etc,” said Carroll.

The 5 steps are;

1. Get a web site

2. Join TripAdvisor

3. Join some booking agents (laterooms.com; booking.com)

4. Change prices on event days

5. Get a “book now” tab on your web site

Speaking about the five steps, leading expert Paul Carroll said, I have been in this business all my life, and the changes over the last few years have been so dramatic. Only a year or so ago, you used to wait for the phone to ring, or a knock at the door for bookings. Now its all faxes, emails, texts, etc. It’s all mostly computer generated, but by trying my five steps on your business, you can watch the changes happen over night.

FastWebFormula2 Becomes The Internet Marketing Success Of The Year


(PRWEB) September 30, 2010

September 2010 saw the elite of the internet marketing world descend upon Sydney, Australia, to be guests at James Schramkos most recent high level internet marketing training, FastWebFormula2.

Two hundred participants from Canada, the US, UK and Asia, along with many Aussies, were delivered three days of hard-hitting, up-to-the-minute strategies designed to put their online businesses on steroids.

James discussed the business of internet marketing, about how knowing your market and leveraging this knowledge was one of the biggest keys to success. That several members of the Market Samurai keyword and niche research team were present was testament to the importance of careful planning before implementation.

Domaining and Site Flipping

Domaining is perhaps one of the hottest niches in the industry, and no less than three guests spoke to this topic. Australian internet pioneer, Simon Johnson shared priceless information on how to find, evaluate, buy and manage websites and domains. Englishman Kenny Goodman discussed strategies for renovating and flipping (reselling) domains, while David Jenyns gave great insights into how to determine the value of a website. (He also revealed what he believes will be the next red-hot market in domains.)

American Allstars

One of the biggest draw cards to FastWebFormula2 was the man often described as the most ripped off copywriter in the world, John Carlton. John doesnt speak publicly very often, preferring to share his techniques and strategies with those in his mentoring groups. But travel from the US to Australia for this event he did, and those fortunate enough to hear him not just discuss, but demonstrate, simple copywriting techniques, were spellbound.

Cory Boatright dominates the real estate investing online niche, and discussed how others could use his strategies to do so in their own niches.

Brian Johnson demonstrated the strategies that he and Rich Scheffren, have implemented to get results for their company, Strategic Profits, of which others mostly dream.

WordPress Queen, Leanne King

The platform of choice for internet marketers and bloggers is without doubt WordPress, and Leanne King has been crowned the WordPress Queen in recognition of her standing in the WordPress community, and of her 900 page book on the topic which has for many become their WordPress bible. Leanne previewed her Mindmap for WordPress implementation and leverage – and revealed plugins and tools that she uses, and in many cases, had created, for her use.

Leanne certainly left the audience wanting more, and there is no doubt that she will feature more prominently in a future FastWebFormula3, and indeed other international internet events.

SuperFastResults Mystery Man Exposed

Schramko operates a professional internet marketing forum, SuperFastResults, with an up-until-FastWebFormula2 partner known only as Andy G. Andy was revealed as Swiss affiliate marketing aficionado, Andy Grand – and the generous way he shared his strategies made him a firm favorite of the fast-note-taking participants.

DVD Opportunity

At no other time have so many genuinely successful exponents of internet marketing come together in a teaching environment created by James Schramko in FastWebFormula2. Realizing that not everyone could get their hands on a ticket, and recognizing that traveling to Australia was not possible for many others, Schramko invested in a professional film and editing crew to record the whole three-day event.

These DVDs of FastWebFormula2 can now be pre-ordered at a special price for a limited period only. This could very well be the only opportunity to see so many business and internet marketing experts of this calibre share their real, proven, strategies for success.

Before developing his own information products and internet marketing tools, James started making money on the internet in a way we all can by selling other people’s products as an affiliate often earning a high commission per sale, without having a product, or the responsibility of stocking and delivering it.

James continues to developed his suite information products and automated profit systems that are in demand by the top internet marketers around the world (they now call him for advice!). In so doing he indulges his passion for product development and innovation, and mentoring students in high-level and ethical internet marketing.

FastWebFormula2 Becomes The Internet Marketing Success Of The Year

FastWebFormula2 Becomes The Internet Marketing Success Of The Year


(PRWEB) September 30, 2010

September 2010 saw the elite of the internet marketing world descend upon Sydney, Australia, to be guests at James Schramkos most recent high level internet marketing training, FastWebFormula2.

Two hundred participants from Canada, the US, UK and Asia, along with many Aussies, were delivered three days of hard-hitting, up-to-the-minute strategies designed to put their online businesses on steroids.

James discussed the business of internet marketing, about how knowing your market and leveraging this knowledge was one of the biggest keys to success. That several members of the Market Samurai keyword and niche research team were present was testament to the importance of careful planning before implementation.

Domaining and Site Flipping

Domaining is perhaps one of the hottest niches in the industry, and no less than three guests spoke to this topic. Australian internet pioneer, Simon Johnson shared priceless information on how to find, evaluate, buy and manage websites and domains. Englishman Kenny Goodman discussed strategies for renovating and flipping (reselling) domains, while David Jenyns gave great insights into how to determine the value of a website. (He also revealed what he believes will be the next red-hot market in domains.)

American Allstars

One of the biggest draw cards to FastWebFormula2 was the man often described as the most ripped off copywriter in the world, John Carlton. John doesnt speak publicly very often, preferring to share his techniques and strategies with those in his mentoring groups. But travel from the US to Australia for this event he did, and those fortunate enough to hear him not just discuss, but demonstrate, simple copywriting techniques, were spellbound.

Cory Boatright dominates the real estate investing online niche, and discussed how others could use his strategies to do so in their own niches.

Brian Johnson demonstrated the strategies that he and Rich Scheffren, have implemented to get results for their company, Strategic Profits, of which others mostly dream.

Win Free Pizza for a Year at the 7th Annual Home Slice Carnival-O-Pizza


Austin, Texas (PRWEB) October 31, 2012

Whether eating or standing, endurance will be the key to winning an entire year of free pizza at the charity fundraising event of the fall: the Home Slice Pizza Carnival-O-Pizza. The carnival, slated for Saturday, November 10, 2012, is a benefit for local nonprofit Austin Bat Cave and features 2 ways to win this amazing prize, courtesy of Home Slice Pizza.

Extreme Pizza Eating pits 10 carefully chosen contestants against one another to see who can eat the most pizza in 30 minutes. I focus on the quest for accomplishment says four-time champion Chris Floyd. Its something only a few people out there can actually do well.

The Hands on an Eggplant Sub (H.O.E.S) contest is exactly what it sounds like: combatants place a hand on a Home Slice eggplant sub and leave it there for as long as they can. Last person touching the sub wins. 2010 winner Lauren Shugart was touched by the camaraderie and in awe of the endurance it required, its all these different people who end up having a connection. And [the competition] showed me what I was made of.

The Home Slice Carnival-O-Pizza is at once a celebration of the art of hand tossed pizza, a seventh birthday party for the restaurant, and a charitable endeavor intended to give back to the community that has made Home Slice one of Austins favorite eateries. This years Carnival-O-Pizza will be held Saturday, November 10, 2012, from 12 to 7 PM. Austin Bat Cave is the Carnivals charitable recipient for the second year in a row. The 2011 Home Slice Carnival-O-Pizza raised over $ 20,000 for the local non-profit writing and tutoring center.

But waittheres more!

21 Year Old Penn State Student Develops Very Useful WordPress Plugin to Help Website Owners Edit their Site"s Design Online.


State College, PA (PRWEB) April 14, 2012

Editing the design of a WordPress website has just been made easy by 21 year old WordPress expert John Cook. He has developed an amazing WordPress plugin for WordPress users. This plugin will allow WordPress website owners to modify their website online directly on the web pages they want to edit. Currently, website users are required to search through a WordPress theme’s HTML/CSS files and find and change the HTML/CSS code for any theme they want to edit. However, using the new DIV Layer WordPress plugin, users can click to select a part of a page on their site and edit it. To know more about this amazing WordPress Plugin, please visit http://www.divlayer.com.

WordPress is an extremely popular content management system, and an open source blogging platform. The latest version of this acclaimed tool has been downloaded a whopping 65 million times at the end of the year 2011, according to a recent survey. Plugin architecture is one of the most liked features of WordPress that helps to extend its abilities beyond the basic features. WordPress is known to have around 19,000 plugins. This new plugin will help WordPress users create and save different versions of their themes. These different versions of themes are converted into child themes. The admin users can activate the theme of their choice simply by selecting the theme and the version they want as the active theme.

John Cook has been an extremely technology savvy person from a very young age. As a teenager, he conceived the idea of developing a website creator. Talking about his remarkable feat, he says, I had an idea to create a web based website creator back on September 20th 2006 and started working on it. That project morphed into this. It was around 2008 that I decided to make it into a WordPress plugin. It may be noted here that Mr. Cook is also the founder of the company named DIV Text, LLC that developed the DIV Layer Editor plugin. This plugin is now available for free as an open source WordPress plugin.

About the Company: DIV Text, LLC is a company owned and managed by Mr. John Cook. This company develops websites and provides software and training for website development and internet marketing.

Interior Designers Heading to Beverly Hills To Learn Leading Edge Business Skills Business of Design Conference Enters 9th Year as Premier Source for Design Education

Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

More like an executive education seminar at a leading business school than a trade show, the BoD Conference employs a wide array of business experts and faculty members to bring leading edge business education to interior designers and decorators. BoD Conference founder David Shepherd (a 25-year veteran of one of the nation’s top-ranked business schools) will serve as facilitator and present a challenging new segment entitled, “The 7 Doors To Your Destiny.”

“After a decade of working with thousands of designers, I’ve identified seven critical belief systems that the most successful designers must embrace,” said Shepherd. “I’m looking forward to putting designers through a thoughtful, provocative series of exercises centered around seven psychological principlesCalling, Changing, Crossing, Risking, Asking, Dreaming, and Doing. I guarantee that anyone making it through these self-tests will experience important changes in their business, and perhaps in their life.”

Because of the exclusive, interactive nature of the BoD Conference (http://www.bodconference.com) attendance is limited to about 200 and the conference sells out months in advance. As evidence of the value designers find in the conference, many interior designers will be attending their sixth, seventh, eighthand even ninth consecutive BoD Conference. “The first event in 2004 was like divine intervention,” said San Antonio designer Debbie Baxter. ” This will be my ninth consecutive event and I wouldn’t miss it.”

In addition to Shepherd, this year’s BoD Conference offers a faculty of the most experienced, successful consultants and advisors on the business of design. These include:

Gail Doby Founder of Design Success University
Fred Berns A leading authority on branding
Lloyd Princeton Founder of iMatch Designers and negotiation expert
LeeAnn Reed Author of the “bible” on QuickBooks for Designers
Alex Oliver Google Sketchup authority
Julia Molloy Founder of Molloy Management
Vita Vygovska Marketing expert
Josh Unfried Expert on Facebook for the affluent
Lance Haeberle Founder, Studio Webware

For the first time ever, the BoD Conference is also introducing a “Genius Bar,” an entire afternoon in which attendees will be brought up to speed on every relevant technology including new tools like Pinterest, Evernote, and Webare, as well as more mature ones like Basecamp, WordPress, and hardware devices including the iPad and smart phones.

“Doug Greiwe, a designer from Cincinnati is one of our regular attendees,” Shepherd continued, “and he says simply that the BoD Conference is ‘the most important event of the year for me as a designer, and as a businessman.’ I couldn’t say it any better.”

A comprehensive brochure and registration link is available at http://www.bodconference.com. The 2012 BoD Conference will be held at the luxurious SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. Information to claim low rates are offered to registrants at the time of registration.

For information on attendance or sponsorship, e-mail Maria Privitera at support(at)bodconference(dot)com, or visit http://www.bodconference.com. Early Bird discounted pricing ends May 31, or as long as seats remain.

The Business of Design Conference (BoD Conference) enters its ninth year as the premier source of business education for interior designers and decorators. Founded by business school professor, David Shepherd, the BoD Conference has helped over a thousand interior designers to improve their business practices and bottom line profitability. For maximum learning, events are limited to about 200 attendees and sell out months in advance.
