Presentations - Stand Out Tip - Be Purposeful

<p>Being purposeful is immensely powerful in presentations.The more purposeful you are as a speaker -- in your gestures, visuals, movement, and organization of your thoughts -- the more powerful you are and, an extra bonus, the less nervous you'll be. </p><p>When you're purposeful -- when you have something deliberate and intentional to do, a reason for doing it -- then this purpose is going to help you be less focused on yourself and your anxiety.</p><p>Here are some examples of having purpose in your presentation:</p><p>Nonverbals: When you have a prop to demonstrate, a slide to step back and refer to, a physical description to make with your hands, some deliberate steps to take from the screen to the lectern, these are all purposeful. It's purposeful when you look at audience members as if you're talking directly to them. And when you minimize the uhs and ums, it's getting rid of those fillers that serve no purpose. Can you envision what a confident, engaging appearance all this would give you?</p><p>Content: When you're clearly going somewhere with your points -- they're logically arranged, not rambling thoughts, and they're set up with a road map (where you tell the audience where you're going with your talk) -- this kind of purposeful organization is easier for the audience to follow and gives you an organized, put-together air of confidence and ease.</p><p>Visuals: When you rigorously assess every PowerPoint slide in your presentation by applying the "UR" rule - does it help the audience Understand or Remember anything - then your visuals will have a purpose. And if a slide has no purpose - because it's way too busy, or it's an uninformative title slide, or it has non-relevant clip art - then the presentation is better served with a black slide.</p><p>Give yourself a reason for everything you do and say in your presentations, and you'll find that sense of purpose will give you more stand out poise and power.</p><p>Barbara Busey, president of the training firm <a target="_new" href="http://www.presentationdynamics.net/" rel="nofollow">Presentation Dynamics</a>, has been a professional speaker, trainer and author since 1990.

The Great Business Potential in Affiliate Marketing

<p class="articletext">Putting up a business is not easy. You are never sure if you will gain back your expenses and reach the revenue that you aspire. If you choose to have an online business, building your own product will surely make you spend a big amount of money. To start with an online business, it is best to do it with affiliate marketing.<br />
<br />
Affiliate marketing basically means selling other peopleÂ's products. There are currently a lot of products, programs, and even services, online that are ready to be sold. All you need to do is to sign up as an affiliate and you will have your own links to promote and earn through commissions. Instead of spending on producing your own products, you can just focus on your marketing plans and strategies. <br />
<br />

<br>

You can reach the whole world through the internet. There are a lot of consumers that look for solutions to their problems through the internet. There are also a lot of people looking for their wants or aspirations online. Before choosing the product or service to sell, it is best to look for a target market or a niche. They are a group of people who have a common concern that needs a solution or an answer. <br />
<br />
Once identified, choose a product that would be the answer to the common problem, and then endorse the product to your target market. This will surely give you great results in sales conversion and you will surely reap huge revenue in doing this. <br />
<br />
However, this is not a very fast and easy process. You also need to be known by people, especially by your target market. You must take advantage of forums, write your blogs, and even have your own web site to add to your credibility. Capture leads and build a list so you will be able to keep in touch with your potential customers through email and build a fruitful business relationship with them. <br />
<br />
You do not really need to endorse a product or service on the forums and web pages that you use in promotion. It is better to have the products or services within your site and add useful content in it. This will encourage your viewers to go back to your site from time to time and be more familiar with you and more comfortable with your business. Send them emails, giving them useful information, which means facts related to their concern. This creates a bond between you and your potential customers and creates a loyal and continuously buying customer at some time. <br />
<br />
Always remember that it is better to look for your niche or target market before choosing the product to endorse than choose a product and then look for people to buy it. If you already have a niche, it is easier to compel them to buy your product that could be the solution to their problem or concern. But if you have a product, it is very difficult to look for people and create a desire in them to purchase the product. This is a very important point in affiliate marketing.</p>
