Michael Jackson, King of Pop - 1958 – 2009
Sometimes you have to put business aside and honor the icons of your youth. Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, was just such an icon for me.
I grew up with Michael Jackson . I remember his performances as a boy on TV. Like millions of other fans, I hummed the words of his hit songs and danced to his music as a teenager and young adult. So I had to drop everything to find a way to honor his tremendous contribution to the music world.
Brief BIO:
Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958. He began his stellar career as a child star and lead singer of the Jackson Five. Hits like “I Want You Back”, “I Love You” and “I’ll Be There,” took the group to the Ed Sullivan Show and national fame. But it was Michael’s electrifying solo performances that made his one of the biggest musical performers in the world.
No musical performer was bigger than Michael Jackson in the ’80′s. His Thriller CD remains the biggest all-time seller in music history. “Dangerous” remains No. 2.”
Even more significantly, he influenced an entire generation of performers white and black, and that influence stretched around the world.
His Thriller album was so big that he broke through racial barriers, forcing MTV and over venues to open doors to future African American performers. Even after his star dimmed in the US because of his personal problems, he remained a superstar overseas. His celebrity was unprecedented.

It pays to understand your Internet audience's preferences.
Everyday I get new insights on Internet marketing. Recently, I have learned a lot about the importance of knowing your audience. In the past I followed the advice of some of the top Internet marketers — mostly men, without question. Not anymore.
Many of my readers are women. And I am learning with fascination that women don’t use the Internet in the same way that men do. Men focus on the money. They want to get your information quickly and bombard you with messages — many promotional. A lot of women don’t respond well to that style.
Women want to get to know you first. They want to receive great information and build trust before they give you their name and email address. Sometimes they detest the mechanisms we have put in place to enhance or automate our marketing.
I spoke recently with a woman who was very put off by the requirement to sign in to a website that she visits almost daily. She visits the site because she loves the information.
Determining how our site or blog visitors feel about the way we present our information is never easy. People sometimes ignore surveys. You ask for reactions, but rarely get them. Still, people will tell others everything they hate about what you are doing wrong.
So my goal here is to open a dialogue and get you to tell me what you like or dislike about current practices on websites and blogs.
How do you feel about those pesky little sign-in forms? What about optin or squeeze pages that require you to sign in to get the free stuff?
How often do you like to get information or newsletters sent to your email box?
How do you feel about endless promotions for products in which you may or may not be interested?
Please let me know so I can share the information with other small business owners who are struggling to get it right. I’d like to thank you upfront for any comments you leave.

I’ve always heard conflicting views about Private Label Rights Products.
Some of the negative comments have stemmed from the poor quality of some private label products because they were either riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes or written by writers who obviously didn’t speak English as their first language. Still others have complained about the poor quality of the articles or the mass distribution leading to the problem of duplicate content.
With most PLR sites, you don’t get to see what’s really inside until you pay. Sure, a lot of the sites offer money back guarantees but, is it worth the hassle? For those who are just starting out – the budget is tight – is it not? You have to be super careful of where every single dime goes. Is sinking your hard earned cash into worthless PLR sites time and time again until you find that perfect fit worth it?
So I was all ears this week when I heard Liz Tomey speak about how PLR as it is known in Internet Marketing circles has helped her brand her company, build considerable wealth, and made it possible for her to create hundreds of PLR products in a variety of hot niches that spread her name around the Internet.
Tomey says there is nothing wrong with using PLR as the starting point for a product, provided you alter it by adding new or missing information, rewrite it in your own style and maybe even create your own graphics. By doing this, you essentially create a new product, especially if you update it to reflect current trends, needs and problems.
Still even Tomey admits that there is considerable variation in the quality of PLR sites. As a leading expert in the PLR field, she often is asked her opinion of the different providers. So Tomey put together a special report with her reviews of the PLR sites she recommends. In her report you not only learn about the quality, but some of the distinctive elements of each source that might help you pick the best PLR provider for your needs and budget.
You can get a copy of her PLR reviews here.
