There is not one dirty word in it, and it is funny.
The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, “Well, I’m off now. The man should be here soon.”
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. “Good morning, Ma’am”, he said, “I’ve come to…”
“Oh, no need to explain,” Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, “I’ve been expecting you.”
“Have you really?” said the photographer. “Well, that’s good. Did you know babies are my specialty?”
“Well that’s what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat”.
After a moment she asked, blushing, “Well, where do we start?”
“Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.”
“Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn’t work out for Harry and me!”
“Well, Ma’am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the results.”
“My, that’s a lot!”, gasped Mrs. Smith.
“Ma’am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I’d love to be In and out in five minutes, but I’m sure you’d be disappointed with that.”
“Don’t I know it,” said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. “This was done on the top of a bus,” he said.
“Oh, my God!” Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
“And these twins turned out exceptionally well – when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with.”
“She was difficult?” asked Mrs. Smith.
“Yes, I’m afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look”
“Four and five deep?” said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
“Yes”, the photographer replied. “And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling – I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.”
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. “Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh…equipment? ”
“It’s true, Ma’am, yes.. Well, if you’re ready, I’ll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away.”
“Tripod?”
“Oh yes, Ma’am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It’s much too big to be held in the hand very long.”
Mrs. Smith fainted
Have you worked with the Kids Talent Network before?

It’s a company that markets your child in the area near you (in my case, Milwaukee) and sets up a website and acts as an adviser for three years, while your child builds up a portfolio of jobs. There is a fee for this service which is fine, but I would like to hear reviews from anyone who may have used them before, instead of what I see on just their website. I’m interested to know if this worked for you and how long it took to get set up with an agent for your baby to model for.

Real Before the Virtual: Deciding on a Small Online Business
11
Jan
The Internet has really changed the face of business, as it provides a vast new space in which product and service buyers and sellers gather together and interact. A few years ago small businesses saw building a website as just one of the many segments of their marketing strategies. In other words, it’s only about web promotion. They display products and services in their web portfolio hoping that some random online readers can learn about the company. But today, as the population of Internet users worldwide exploded in unmeasurable proportions, the idea of running a small business in the Internet has greatly changed. Today, with the newest technologies in online shopping, business websites instead of directing customers to visit the physical stores and offices of companies have become the major arenas in which actual purchases are performed.
If you’re planning to run an Internet small business, make sure that you’re physically, mentally and financially ready to manage its operations. Before creating your website, and worrying about the web design of your company virtual address, you must be fully aware of what you’re trying to do. While business can be tantamount to an attempt to gain profit, it is definitely more than that.
You must first, above anything else, genuinely believe in your products, services, or whatever that you want to offer. Are you determined to face all the challenges in running this small online business? Well, you must be. Setting up a website, much more promoting it over the world wide web is not as easy as you think. Even entrepreneurs with background in computer studies fail in this pursuit. Passion, knowledge, and consistency are a must. In launching your enterprise, make sure you have come up with a clear picture of what you want to achieve. You must have set up a thorough vision and mission of your small company, the systems and modes on how it will operate, and a progressive, realistic plan in the following months and years. In thinking all of these, you must consider yourself as your most difficult client. Criticize yourself in details on the things you are not sure about.
Whatever kind of small business that you want venture in, whether it delivers a product or a service, you must begin by thinking of a good name for your company and website. You must come up with a good domain or website name. In a nutshell, domain is the name of the address found on the top portion of your Internet browser. You have the option to have a company name and then a separate domain name, or you can consider merging them into one. The former is preferable when your desired company name has already been registered by another web developer. To purchase a domain name, you can go to popular domain sites like GoDaddy, SiteGround and Yahoo!
When you choose a domain name, it is recommended to consider the term’s relation to the product or service you’re offering. For instance, if you’re selling wallets, you may want to name your company or web address with a title that is synonymous to “wallets” or have “wallets” in the phrase, like asianpurses.com, or bamboowallets.com. You can easily do web promotion when you name your domain in such a way. And so when online shoppers type in “wallets” in the search engines, there is a big possibility that your company will be found in the first few pages of the search results. Always remember that the easier your company can be found in the search engines, the more chances you have to get sales. So before you even start to conceptualize your site’s web design, grab a good domain first. They’re very cheap actually, in GoDaddy.com domains cost as low as 10 USD.
When you buy a domain name, try to also avail of an email service that uses your domain. In the business culture, a company, whether it is a large or small business, appears more professional when it has its own domain name. A company email address carries a degree of value in it. When you’re a prospective buyer, it’s better to inquire to send a email to generalmanager[at]asianpurses[dot]com than to generalmanager[at]yahoo[com], isn’t it?
A domain name displays how an Internet small business tries to establish itself on the web, and on the ground level how it invests to become highly-professional and unique to its potential clients.
The market place has a life of its own, and no one can prepare for every contingency. Put some thought into your idea; make sure that there’s a market for what you’re offering; research, research, research; promote your business effectively; always know what’s going on in your bank account and don’t forget about cash flow!
It’s not perfect but, if you follow these few simple steps, you’ll be miles ahead of many new small business ventures. If you’ve heard of a great home-based business opportunity, or have a product or service of your own to market, you’re off to a great start!

Importance of Web Design in Content and What are the Top Five Questions to Ask yourself Before Designing Your Website
14
Dec
Web Design involves the use of graphic principles in the form of developing web applications and websites. Web design generally uses standards and technologies with the likes of PHP, ASP, CSS, SSL, and HTML and represents content related to any business or individual for the help www.video-web-wizards.com. Web designing completely depends on the type of content. If, for instance, a web site is meant to be used for online education, the web design should be entirely different from the web site of a social networking nature. The most important part of web designing is its consistency with the content which ensures to attract a large number of visitors who have access to web pages. If a web designer fails to carry out the consistency, chances of losing traffic is inevitable.
A web site is generally a collection of web pages which are further classified into two kinds:
Dynamic web pages
Static Web pages
Most web sites use dynamic web pages which involve user interactivity. Dynamic web pages are subject to automatic updates. This is not the case with static pages as the web master has to modify or update the website by recoding web pages.
Companies involved in web designing are more competitive in providing excellent graphic design and art development. They have the proficiency in designing customized web sites using up to date plug ins and software. Apart from the artwork and graphics, an expert web design company is also expected to be more versatile, open, friendly and cost-effective. In order to acquire the services of an expert web design company, it is advisable to research and compare quotes, look out for client testimonials and evaluate portfolios. Companies should also look out for versatile web designers who are expert in search engine optimization web sites.
Web designing companies based in Sydney specialize in web sites for small and large businesses. They concentrate on building affordable and customized web pages to meet the requirements of these companies. Most web design companies in Sydney have more than 500 projects on hand. With an experienced database and programmers, web designers fulfill clients’ business objective by creating commercial corporate web sites, complex database and content management systems.
Either you have a website and you’ve got questions as to how effective it is, or you are thinking about getting a website to help you grow your business for the help www.web-audios-plus.com. Regardless of where you’re at in the online marketing world, you need solid answers to these five questions before you will be able to craft an effective online presence.
1. What is the goal of your website? Is it to generate sales, educate consumers, gather leads, or something entirely different? Your website design is completely dependent on your online marketing goals.
2. Who is your target audience? You must target the language, pictures, and content of your website towards your target audience. Don’t assume everyone has the same level of understanding that you do.
3. How do you want people to navigate through your site? This ties in directly to question #1. If you have a clear goal, getting the customer to that goal should be clear and simple. Easy and simple navigation is much better than fancy animated redirects.
4. Does each page of your website have a call to action? People often need to be told what to do when surfing the net. Otherwise, they will simply wander. Captivate, educate, and motivate.
5. How will you gauge the effectiveness of your website? Are you trying to generate large numbers of visitors? Do you want people to sign up? Do you want people to purchase items from your store? Do you want people to come to a physical location? Whatever your goal, you need some way of measuring it. Otherwise, how will you know what works and what doesn’t?
Regardless of if you’re designing your own website or are paying a professional to design one for you, you need clear answers to each of these questions before taking the next step. The clearer and more concrete your answers are, the more effective your website will be. And we all know what a more effective website means- taking your business to the next level!
5 Critical Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Web Designer
03
Dec
Copyright (c) 2008 OnlineBizU.com
Whether you’re building a website or a blogsite, the investment in a designer can be fairly significant. It’s at this point that many service business owners decide to cut costs and have their 16-year old nephew design their site. This works out well until something breaks (with technology, it’s never a question of IF it will break, only WHEN) and your nephew is out of touch because he just started his first year of college and can’t be bothered. What are you going to do?
To run an online business, your website is your key to success. People arrive on your doorstep (site) like they might in a retail establishment, and decide within 5 seconds if they’re going to stay and look around or if they’re going to leave. It pays to invest some money in your site, as your site is the first stop on the like, know and trust journey that prospects experience with you. You need to be perceived as legitimate, as a “real” business, and as the solution to the problems that ail your prospective clients. If you’re not able to design your own site, an experienced website designer can help finesse this relationship with your visitors.
How can you determine if your designer will create a site that you like and is useful? I’ve heard many horror stories over the years about the experiences that services business owners have had regarding the creation and maintenance of their websites. Here are 5 critical questions that you should have answered before hiring a web designer:
1. Site Ownership. First and foremost, you should ask if you own the final version of your site and the graphic source files. I’ve discovered that many web designers do NOT work on a work-for-hire basis. Instead, they maintain the copyright to the design of your site, so if you don’t want to use that same company for site updates and maintenance, for example, they will not release any source files to another designer. Consequently, you will have to pay to have your site redesigned all over again. At the very least you should obtain a license to use the files in perpetuity and be able to make revisions to them in the future. This same rule applies to any special fonts or special applications developed for the site.
A second key issue in site ownership is ownership of your domain name. If your site design includes purchasing the domain name for your site, be sure that your domain’s purchase is credited to you and registered to you as the administrative and technical contact. Many times the web design company registers your domain name and lists themselves as the contact, or actually purchases the domain and is considered the owner. At that point it becomes almost impossible to get your username and password for the account should you need to make any changes to your domain registration or to even prove ownership. Purchase your domain BEFORE beginning any work on a website.
2. Ongoing maintenance and hosting. Secondly, determine if you will be locked into a maintenance contract or hosting contract with the designer. Are they using any special software or application that will tie you to a particular type of hosting service? This may not be problematic for you initially, but ensure that you’ve got the flexibility to change your mind in case the design company is sold, for example, and dramatically increases their prices. Once the site is up, can you buy a program, like Adobe Contribute, for example, and do simple site updates yourself or must you use their company for any updates?
3. Experience with similar companies. Thirdly, take a look at their portfolio and be sure you like their previous work and that they have experience in web design for companies like yours. Call 1-2 of their clients (from the portfolios) and ask the client how easy the design company was to work with and how satisfied they are with the final product.
4. Marketing experience. Many web designers are simply that — great web designers. They can make your site sit up and bark and run around in circles, if you like. However, the newest, coolest, showiest and flashiest technology is oftentimes NOT what you need to bring you the most traffic, get your site found in search engines, and convert prospects to customers. Don’t fall for the glitz and glam that you see in a designer’s portfolio. The best sites are simpler sites with a clean design and distinct marketing elements, like a clear call to action as seen in an email list signup box. If you can find a designer who excels at both design and marketing, you have found a gem whom you need to hold onto.
5. Return on investment (ROI). Asking a designer about the ROI for their clients is somewhat sneaky. In essence, what you’re doing is determining their longevity (will they still be in business tomorrow), as well as their followup strategy in terms of staying in touch with clients to see how their businesses are doing. A web designer who stays in touch is one who’s concerned about your success and is one that is much more likely to create a website that will produce profitable results for you.
The creation of your online presence can be a very expensive failure that takes much longer than anticipated. Don’t let yourself be the next victim! Before hiring a website designer, make sure s/he answers these questions to your satisfaction, and you’ll be on the path to a profitable relationship with a talented professional who can help your online business grow.
