...BASE I have to say my dream job is to work from home and I could easily use Internet Marketing to advertise, research, sell, and make money. Two components for a Home base would be setting up a website and search engine marketing. Both components would be beneficial in getting your business out to the public. If I am ever looking for a business or information, the first thing I do is perform a Google search. Once the search is done, I go to a website. Setting up a website for a home business allows potential customers access to your business and what you offer. Once a website is set up, make sure you list your business in every search engine possible. It seems like most people take chances on what they find on the internet, and if Google or Yahoo shows your information, you have a chance for more views that means more customers that turns into more money. Without a website, you have nothing for the potential customer to go on. Your website needs to give a brief history of what your business is about and should give images that will attract your target audience. This means to research the likes and dislikes of potential customers. You want to know what will attract them and what may cause them to turn away. A good example is Diamond Candles at www.diamondcandles.com. This is a website that was created from a home base business that has now turned into something bigger. Open Source Web Design is a great way to start with many free templates. First, set up your domain and...

...Elements of Effective Web Marketing Introduction When it comes to web marketing, it’s all about ‘conversion’ - how many of your site visitors you can convert into a lead or a sale. We suggest that companies lacking a well conceived and well implemented website conversion strategy, are failing to leverage the most important marketing medium of the twenty-first century. The Nine Elements: 1. Identification of site goals 2. Clearly defined target audience 3. Compelling message 4. Site structure and information flow 5. Calls to action 6. Lead capture mechanism 7. Supporting graphic design 8. Site promotion 9. Testing, measurement, and refinement 1. Site Goals Identifying goals is critical for two reasons. First, goals help you to determine what should or shouldn’t be included on your site. You use your goals document as a set of criteria for determining site content, simplifying the design process, and removing the ‘political element’ that plagues some companies. Secondly, having specific goals allows you to measure the effectiveness of your site after it’s completed and live. That’s key because if you can’t measure site performance, then improving it becomes much more problematic. So you’ll find that measurement and improvement are the keys to that ROI you’re looking for. The bottom line on goal setting is that if you never identify the target, then you can’t expect to hit it. 2. Target Audience A foundation of effective web marketing is the ‘who’. Determining...

...one computer to another. Like the serial numbers on real dollar bills, the digital cash numbers are unique. Each one is issued by a bank and represents a specified sum of real money. One of the key features of digital cash is that, like real cash, it is anonymous and reusable. That is, when a digital cash amount is sent from a buyer to a vendor, there is no way to obtain information about the buyer. This is one of the key differences between digital cash and credit card systems. Another key difference is that a digital cash certificate can be reused. 2- Briefly explain ActiveX Control ActiveX control is a control using Microsoft ActiveX technologies. An ActiveX control can be automatically downloaded and executed by a Web browser. ActiveX is not a programming language, but rather a set of rules for how applications should share information. Programmers can develop ActiveX controls in a variety of languages, including C, C++, Visual Basic, and Java. An ActiveX control is similar to a Java applet. Unlike Java applets, however, ActiveX controls have full access to the Windows operating system. This gives them much more power than Java applets, but with this power comes a certain risk that the applet may damage software or data on your machine. To control this risk, Microsoft developed a registration system so that browsers can identify and authenticate an ActiveX control before downloading it. Another difference between Java applets and ActiveX controls is that...
