All of us have dreams of what we want to do with our lives. Mine is to be an actor. However, I can't tell you how many times I've been turned down for a job in the theater, since so much emphasis is placed on appearance.
Now thanks to Block & Burn, I am well on my way to making my body match my talent. I have lost over 50 pounds in under four months. Clothes that were tight fitting in college I now wear with no trouble whatsoever.
Also lately, I have noticed that while many people in my family are coming down with colds, or allergy problems—not me. The Block & Burn is giving me an increased protection from allergy problems. Keep watching the movie screens, my friends, you WILL see my up there soon, thanks to Block & Burn.

HOW TO WRITE ARTICLES THAT GET READ
by Ken Hill
Writing articles can successfully drive more free targeted
traffic to your website, and substantially increase your
profits online.
To help you get started, I've provided the following tips to
show you how to write your own profitable articles -- articles
that capture your readers' attention and that e-zine publishers
would like to place in their publication.
1. Put a lot of thought into the title of your article.
A good title will grab your readers' attention and encourage
them to read through your article.
2. Keep the introduction and conclusion of your article short.
3. Keep your article focused on one topic.
4. Provide resources to your readers that deal with the subject
of your article.
5. Write your article as a list of tips.
This is a very easy and effective way to present your
information and hold your readers' interest.
When writing your article, keep your tips brief, even just two
or three lines, and use numbers to list the tips in your
article. This will allow your readers to go quickly from one
tip to the next as well as keep your article neatly organized
and easy to read.
6. Write a how-to article.
This type of article shows your readers step-by-step how they
can reach an objective such as successfully promoting an
affiliate program, or making an ebook.
When writing your article keep your article focused and to the
point, and just like with an article that presents a list of
tips, number the steps in your article to make your article
easier to read and to keep it nicely organized.
7. Proofread your articles.
Before you submit your article for publication spell check your
article, and go over your article for words you might have
omitted or typed twice, as well as words you may have misused
such as using "there" instead of "their."
8. Ask a question to spark your readers interest.
Use a question as the title of your article to entice people to
read your article, or ask a question within your article to
effectively keep your readers focused on your article.
9. Edit and re-edit your article.
Even after you feel you are done with your article it's a good
idea to leave your article for a day or two and then come back
to it.
The changes you make to your article after seeing it in a new
light, will often be the difference between a good article and
a great article.

A BIBLE RIDDLE
When Paul was in Rome, where did he stay?
ANSWER: His own hired house as found in Acts 28:16 "And when we came to Rome . . . and Acts 28:30 "And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house . . ."
How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.
TODAY'S CHUCKLE
FURRINERS
A Russian scientist and a Czechoslovakian scientist had spent their whole lives studying the majestic grizzly bear. Each year they petitioned their respective governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study these wondrous beasts.
Finally, their request was granted and they immediately flew to New York and then on West to Yellowstone. They reported to the local ranger station and were told that it was the grizzly mating season, and it was much too dangerous to go out and study the animals.
They pleaded that this was their only chance. Finally the ranger relented. The Russian and the Czech were given cell phones and told to report in each and every day.
For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two scientists. The rangers mounted a search party and found the scientists' camp completely ravaged. No sign of the missing men.
They then followed the trail of a male and a female bear. They found the female and decided they must kill the animal to find out if she had eaten the scientists, because they feared an international incident.
They killed the female and cut open the bear's stomach . . . to find the remains of only the Russian.
One ranger turned to the other and said, "You know what this means, don't you?"
"Of course," the other ranger nodded. "The Czech is in the male."
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
INTERNET HINTS & TIPS
USE A BUTTON TO LINK INSTEAD OF A TEXT LINK
This is a simple HTML code that will create a button
for you to link whatever page you like your visitors
to go when they click on it.
It's an alternative for text links and could make your
page look more sophisticated to your viewers.
"It is silence, the child of love, which expresses
all and tells more than words whatsoever."

"You can learn a lot from people who view the world differently than you do."

7 RESOURCE BOX SECRETS
by
David McKenzie
Here are 7 resource box secrets to help you obtain greater
success with your resource boxes:
1. Do not sell anything in your resource box. Instead, give
away something for free like an email course, a free
newsletter subscription, or a free ebook.
2. Provide a clear, clickable link to your web page.
Alternatively, provide an email address or autoresponder
address, if you are giving away a free ebook or a free email
course.
3. Put your name in the resource box. For example, if you are offering a free ebook then it should read "David McKenzie is
providing a free ebook." You want people to get to know you, so
tell them who you are!
4. If you are offering a subscription to your newsletter in the resource box, then provide an email address where people can
subscribe. You do not want people having to go to a website
and look for a subscription link somewhere on the site. Make
it really easy for them to subscribe.
5. Keep it short. You should be able to give away something for free in 4 lines. And one of those lines should be a website or an email address link. With resource boxes, the shorter the better.
6. Keep the theme of your resource box similar to the theme of your article. You do not want to be writing an article about
health and giving away a free ebook on the stock market. It
will just confuse people.
7. Do not list direct affiliate links in your resource box.
Instead, provide a link to your website where you have
affiliate links located or feature a redirect page for your
affiliate link in your resource box. Believe me, your click-through ratios will be much higher if you do not use direct
affiliate links.
Resource boxes are a fantastic marketing tool so use some of
these techniques to get the best results you can. Really, all
you are trying to do is get them to click the link, whether
it's a website or an email address. It's as simple as that!
