Something that has always been very frustrating to me is having the ability to study effectively. It always seemed that no matter how hard I tried there was always something that got in the way of my getting a good study session in so I decided to start from the beginning and make my study habits better so that I could get more out of my learning. The first thing that I did was to prepare my personal study area for more effective learning. Here is what I did.
The first thing that I did was to do a thorough cleaning. I made sure that the area was neat and that the only real things that I had there were the things that would benefit me when I was doing my studying. That meant getting rid of the TV, Ipod, radio and anything else that would keep me from learning. I then made sure that everything that I needed for studying was available and easily accessible. I also made sure that when I was in the study area that everyone knew that I was not to be interrupted for any reason other than emergencies. Unnecessary interruptions are always bad for study because it breaks your concentration and then you need to spend additional time getting back into your subject. A few other things that I was sure to do was to get a comfortable chair, make sure that the lighting was adequate and the temperature was right.
So if you are ready to get the most out of your study then you really need to start at the beginning with the proper preparation. This will get your study session off to a good start and help you to learn more in less time. Future articles will cover other aspects of study habits.

7 Unique Ways To Maximize Sales Of Private Label Rights Products
One of the quickest and easiest ways to get started in Internet Marketing is with your own private label rights products. These are completely made instant information products that are created by one marketer but sold to you to use and profit from as your own.
PLR products give you total freedom to change the product or customize it as you wish. The product creator maintains the copyright to the product but otherwise you gain the full rights to do almost anything you want with it and keep 100% of the proceeds for yourself.
You are allowed to make changes to the text such as rewording the document by expanding some key points or summarizing or even completely removing ideas. You can translate the text into another language. You can even transpose the product into another format such as audio. You can even break the product down into an email series or several articles.
Internet marketers love private label rights (PLR) products because they give you a tremendous head start on creating your own products that you can quickly make money from. You don't have to spend weeks or even months creating products from scratch because PLR hand everything to you on a silver platter.
Even with all of the freedom that you have with PLR products most internet marketers are still leaving a lot of money on the table because they miss the opportunity to maximize their sales.
The first step to getting the most out of the PLR products that you invest in is deciding that you will do something different that the hundreds of other marketers with the same products are not doing. You must be unique. Originality gives customers a good reason to purchase a product from you versus another marketer.
Here are seven unique ways that you can set yourself apart from your competition and increase your bottom line selling private label rights products.
1.Create Unique Packages - You can create unique offers that cannot be found anywhere else online by adding newly released PLR products to your own existing material or by creating a different combination of PLR products that no one else has thought of.
2.Original Article Content - One of the benefits of PLR products is that you can break them down and rewrite them to come up with your own original articles. Post them to article directories, forums or blogs. You can even monetize them with adsense or affiliate links.
3.Custom Audio Products - In our busy world, people really go for products that they can download to their computer or ipod and listen to while they do something else or take with them while they're on the go. Use your favorite audio software to create MP3s and you may have a winner just because of the convenience. Check out Audio Acrobat for a super easy way to create your own streaming audios or MP3 files.
4.Expert Interviews with the Author - Just purchased a PLR product on a hot marketing topic? A good way to really boost your sales is by doing an interview with the author or product creator. Interviews give you the opportunity to explore the topic further than may be offered in the product and answer any questions that customers may have about the product.
5.Customized for Specific Business Industries - One of the best ways to sell PLR products is to break out of the Internet marketing niche and make your products relevant and customized to different industries. For instance, let's say you offer a new PLR product on social networking or another hot marketing trend. You could make the product a hundred times more valuable by taking a couple of hours to provide additional information to business or career industries such as real estate agents, doctors, lawyers, consultants, etc. Your additional research adds value to the product and saves busy professionals the time and effort which could easily translate into more sales or higher price.
6.Expand into an Email Course - This is similar to the article marketing tip from the perspective of breaking down the products. However, now you want to preload a series of articles into an autoresponder to create an your own unique email course. Be sure to add affiliate links to each lesson for added profits.
7.Your Own Membership site - A lot of marketers use PLR products to create membership sites. The problem is that they just dump everything into the membership site trying to sell their offer based on the quantity of items offered over the quality. A better approach would be to create a site that focuses on a particular niche and write your own reviews for each item. That would be a far more attractive and certainly a unique offer.
Use any or all of these ideas to spark your creativity and boost your sales of private label rights items.

SEO And The Long Tail -Part 1
There's been a lot of talk lately about "The Long Tail", the Chris Anderson book that has become kind of the bible of niche marketing. In his book, Mr. Anderson describes how the blockbuster is quickly becoming a thing of the past as technology (the internet) is allowing businesses to focus or essentially hone in on formerly underserved markets.
Case in point is the music industry. In the old days (10 or so years ago), a band would release an album, the record company would promote it, hopefully radio stations would start playing it and once demand was there, record stores would stock the album. It had to be this way because (brick and mortar) record stores, have very limited shelf space. They simply can't afford to stock very many albums, since only the records that receive radio air play sell more then a copy or two, that's all the record stores can afford to stock.
Fast forward to the 21st century, when high speed internet connections and ipods rule, the entire music industry changed. Now, virtual stores (websites) like itunes can stock an almost unlimited inventory of music. A digital album doesn't take up shelf space, it takes up a few million bytes of super cheap disk space and it can be delivered to the customer's computer/ipod in a few seconds over the high speed internet connection. Today, music lovers can search through millions of songs many produced by completely unknown artists - with no record label, and without any radio airplay and they can buy what they like, when they want to.
The economics of owning a "record store" have now shifted, from only being able to stock a very limited number of titles to being able to stock anything that is or can be saved to a digital format. This makes it economically feasible --in fact highly profitable, to stock titles that may only sell one or two copies per year, simply because there are just so many of them.
So what does all this have to do with SEO?
A lot when you think about it. First anyone who has owned a website for any length of time and has reviewed their websites log files will tell you that a large number of hits they get from search engines come from some pretty unpredictable search terms.
As an example, here are a few actual search terms that one of my sites received traffic for recently.
"car accidents on wantagh parkway nov. 30 2006" "cool places to go to go out and long island" "newsday articles babylon official write about li pilots"
Do you think I tried to optimize for any of these terms? Do you think I could even come close to thinking up any of these terms? Of course not, these terms are simply natural results of the content that I post to this site. This site happens to be about Long Island and these search terms are essentially the long tail search terms of my content. These long tail terms also happen to be much more focused then you would normally SEO for, these are kind of the niches of the niche.
So how do you "SEO" for something that is essentially a happy accident? That's coming in Anatomy of a revolution - SEO And the Long Tail (Part Two).
