Website Snapshot is a very good choice for those who want
to convert their webpages to images/graphics for customer
preview with just few clicks UNLIKE using the Alt + PrtScr
(Print Screen) to copy each screen and paste together.

Website Snapshot captures the whole page in a single step
and generates a full size screenshot. Using Website Snapshot
you can convert MHTML, HTML and PHP to images as jpg(jpeg),
gif, png, bmp(bitmap), tif(tiff).

With Website Snapshot you can easily watermark your images
and protect your work from being misused by other people.
You can choose where the watermark appears and what text
should appear. This makes it easy for you to create an html
snapshot for your portfolio without worrying about it being
misused.

Website Snapshot is used by IT departments of several corporate
companies who constantly monitor their websites for changes and
then send thumbnail images to CEOs for quick reviews. Constant
manual monitoring can be a problem with larger sites, but Website
Snapshot makes it simple as batch mode capturing is supported.
This means you can load a set of 100s of URLs and run the
software as and when required. All screenshots will be captured
automatically as per your settings.

Website Snapshot is able to capture a full length website
snapshot from offline content as well as online content. The
option of saving HTML to JPEG format makes it easy for web
developers to generate thumbnail images to present to clients
for review without needing to have the site running live.

Are you an affiliate marketer who makes posts to blogs? You can
easily take a Website Snapshot of the site you are promoting
and use it within your post allowing all of your posts to look
consistant.

Take a look at some of the features of this useful software.

Haiti Relief Efforts – Donations Top $10 Million

I usually try to stay on topic on this blog educating you with information pertaining to internet marketing and making money online but today I feel that it’s necessary to spread the word about the recent disaster in Haiti caused by a 7.0 earthquake.  In fact, you may not even realize it but they are still being hit with magnitude 4-5 quakes which are very destructive themselves.

Usually, it can be a pain for people to donate.  After all there’s hundreds of companies we’ve never heard of that come out of the wood work to ask for donations and who knows if they’re on the up and up.  One company we can all trust is the American Red Cross Organization.  Even still, in the past you had to mail in your donation or call in to give credit card details over the phone.

We’re in a new age of technology and over the last several years, mobile texting donations are quickly rising.  You can send in a one time $10 donation by simply texting “Haiti” (without the quotes) to 90999

The charge will be simply applied to your credit card bill.  Ten dollars may not seem like much but it goes a long way in paying for gas, food, and shelter.  Tens of thousands of people are counting on YOU and I to help in their time of need.  Take a moment to send a text message.

The Red Cross is already over $10 million dollars in donations and we can get them to an even higher record to ensure the largest number of people possible are safe.  We’re not just talking about men and women but also children of all ages that have been affected by this catastrophe.

For more information or to donate online visit the Red Cross website.

Thanks,

The Ins And Outs Of Ezine Advertising

What is ezine advertising? Ezine advertising is a great way to send your marketing messages to targeted subscribers of an online magazine. There are literally thousands of ezines that you can pay a small advertising fee for to have your message emailed to thousands or even millions of readers.

Let’s delve into a little more detail about the specifics of advertising through an ezine. Some of the details to be addressed are why you would opt to go this route, the average cost it would be for you, the folks you will reach and what an ezine actually is. While your business might be actively seeking the best method to get your name or product out to people, you might really benefit from considering the use of an ezine to do the trick for you.

First of all, what is an ezine? Well, the concept is simple enough, it is more or less an interactive magazine that you can access through the Internet. The benefit of this is that often the material and stories will change daily rather than weekly or monthly. This means high traffic.

The thing to remember is that anyone will a little know how can make an ezine, so you have to do a little bit of research before you commit to anything. The last thing you want is to pay an advertising fee for an ad that only 15 people will appreciate. That is why you should delve into the production a little bit and see how many people are commenting on the ezine, the kind of traffic the site generates, and the faithful following.

Why should you opt for using an ezine to advertise? Well, because as it was earlier mentioned, popular sites generate a great deal of daily traffic. High volume of readers translates to more people knowing and hearing about whatever it was you wanted them to.

You have to do a little bit of research about the ezine you choose as well. This will benefit you by allowing you to hit the demographic you are trying to reach. For instance, if you are trying to market a product to new parents, you might not want to pay to advertise on a site similar to AARP. So it pays to know your customers so that you can experience the projected highest profit and exposure.

How much does this usually cost though? Actually, there is no good answer for this because often for online magazines that are worth your time and effort, they aren’t broadcasting their advertising costs on the front page. This will often require a little bit of emailing from you to the owner of the magazine or someone appointed to handle requests like this.

You might find that one of the most effective ways to advertise to people worldwide at once is through the use of ezine advertising. These are high traffic websites that many subscribers read and check out on a daily basis. So you could certainly benefit from employing their help to get your name or product out to who you think should see it.
