Online magazines or ezines were created to reach many viewers. Like the conventional magazines, ezines contain a lot of information regarding various topics. They are also sometimes called webzine or cyberzine. Ezines, just like any other magazines, are updated weekly or monthly.
Brief History of Ezine
Before, ezines were distributed through CD-ROMs and electronic mails to subscribers. But with the advancement of technology especially the Internet, most ezine owners now have their own websites where they can publish new information and update them regularly. They need only to post their updates or make use of emails to inform their subscribers of their updates.
Ezines and Profits
For webmasters, having their own ezines can greatly increase traffic, and with traffic comes profit, but the profit comes not from the sales of their products and services but from the advertising space that they can sell. Before you reap your benefits of selling the advertising spaces though, you have to make sure that you attract the right visitors. And how can you do this - by posting only the content that are relevant and of god quality.
Because people are in need of information, Internet users find ezine helpful in their search for such as the information are listed categorically, making it easier for them. This need will not likely lessen as the Internet is only just beginning to be noticed as a great business venture, and the more popular your ezine is, the more traffic it gets and the more potential websites owners will want to post their ads in your ezine. But never forget that the best ezine should only contain quality contents as your visitors are not looking for rubbish contents. They need relevant information, not garbage ones.
Having a trusted ezine gives you loyal subscribers and visitors. Like stated above, this trust will be yours only if you provide quality contents that are updated regularly. If your subscribers and visitors see how you provide them these, your credibility and trustworthiness increases.
Maintaining Your Ezine
Having an ezine is not a simple task. Aside from having to choose only quality contents, you also have to update your ezine regularly.
Writing quality articles is not an easy job. It should be done by those who have interest in it, so if you are the one writing for your ezine, be ready to write about a lot of relevant and interesting topics.
For your mailing list, you can utilize the services of a third party to maintain your mailing list for you. Just make sure that you choose only the reliable one.

Subscribe to usSo You Want To Become A DayTrader(Or Not?)
During the heady .com days prior to 2001, (when Bush became president,) there were stocks, 3 or 4 times a week that went up from 30 to 200% a day.
It was possible, if you knew what you were doing, to check before the market opened to see which stocks were running in real time and why.
And, if you then had a fast electronic brokerage system you could dive into the market, buy a bunch and sell them the same day.
About 1% of people doing this consistently made money.
I saw one private individual make a million in one day shorting Corel. And then there was somebody who lost a bunch hanging on too long to the WWWF IPO.
As a matter of fact the bottom line is that if you take inflation into account you'd have been better off putting your money in an old sock since 2001.
So what to do?
Give up on the Stock Market let alone give up on DayTrading?
Don't give up on the Stock Market, if you use the right system which is a simple set of formulas you can still make 30% or more on your money annually.
Using this simple system $11,000 left in the market for 17 years would be worth more than one million dollars today.
But it is not DayTrading and you still would need a strong stomach to sit out these 17 years, because some of those years would give you negative returns.
The bottom line is this; if you want to DayTrade there is only one way to do this today.
And that is with MINDBLOWING News.
MINDBLOWING News along the lines of:
XYZ corporation finds cure for cancer. ABC Inc invents Eternal Life Pill DreamCar Corp invents car that runs on water.
You get the idea.
And then I am going to use another qualifier:
You should get this news BEFORE most other people get it.
How to do this:
For about $10 a month you can get a subscription to real-time market news.
Get your Real Time Market News at about 6 AM Eastern Standard Time.
Say you find the real time news that a company has invented a car that runs on water.
Check the time the news was first released, making sure that news item was not available yesterday.
Buy the stock now with money that you can afford to burn ALWAYS USING A STOP LOSS.
Most electronic brokerage firms today allow you to buy stocks on NASDAQ only as early as 6 AM EST.
Sell the stock at 9.28 AM EST to all the traders that are waking up.
You could conceivably double your money.
So would you then trade again in this stock after the market opens officially?
No,I would not.
Too many mindgames will be played by market makers during the first day with the stock that produced the mindblowing news.
Remember the statement above:
"There have been very few days since 2001 that any stocks actually went up more than 30% in one day, the oomph has disappeared from both the Nasdaq and the Dow."
Never hold the mind blowing news stock overnight, because people in most cases will dump it on the second day.
One more tip:
Never buy IPO's on the first day.
The most touted IPO(meaning almost all large brokerage houses were praising this IPO to the sky) cost people the most in decreased value on the second day after the IPO came out.
Who were the winners? The brokerage houses.
So, if you have money to burn, have a cast iron stomach and want to watch market news from 6 AM to 9.28 AM EST, DayTrading may be for you.

How to Trade E-currency
When referring to e-currency, most people immediately think of the FOREX market. The truth is there is a new form of currency trading that is sweeping across the internet and making millions of people wealthy. What is this new wave of e-currency trading that’s hitting the internet you might ask? It’s called the e-currency exchange program. Electronic currencies such as INTgold, Netpay and E-gold are traded daily.
Let’s talk about how the e-currency exchange network can put money into your pocket. There are two ways to make money. The first way is with a portfolio and the second is with a console. Upon opening an e-currency account, the user will be asked to create a portfolio and fund their portfolio. This investment can be anywhere from $25 to $100,000. I would recommend a small amount until you become familiar with e-currency trading. The portfolio is compounded daily and receives gains anywhere from .3% to .5% each day. For example, if you funded your portfolio with a $10,000 investment, each day your portfolio would net $30 of profit. Over the course of one month a $10,000 portfolio would make $900. With these profits you can either reinvest into your portfolio to maximize your profits, or out-exchange the money to your bank account.
The second way to make money is through what is known as a console. Having a console is like having a separate account in addition to your portfolio. With this account you can now process transactions from one e-currency to another for other traders. Not everyone is able to own a console. In order to have a console you must be in the system for 90 days and have a portfolio value of at least $5,000. It may seem like a lot, but even if you started out with only a few hundred dollars as your initial investment, this level can be easily obtained in just a few short months. In order to process transactions, electronic currencies temporarily borrow funds from your console account. In return, the console holders will receive a 6% fee as profit for each transaction they process. For example if Netpay needed to process a $2,000 out-exchange and you temporarily made your funds available for the transaction to take place, you would receive $2,120. That is $120 of profit back into your account! People need transactions processed daily from one e-currency to another and the market just keeps growing.
There are many helpful online courses available on e-currency trading. I tried to learn e-currency trading on my own through forums, chat rooms and by reading articles on the subject matter, but was unsuccessful. This method is extremely slow and time consuming. It took me 2 months before I finally gave in and purchased an online course. After purchasing an online course, I have managed to quadruple my initial investment in a relatively short amount of time.

The Secrets to Acquiring new Customers
Does your business take green IT seriously? Well it should, because ignoring climate change could cost you money and harm your credibility.
There are now over 1.1 billion computers in operation worldwide, collectively producing about one billion tonnes of CO2 through their electricity requirements. E-waste is serious headache too with computers, mobile phones and electronic gadgets now accounting for 5% of the world's garbage (http://www.unep.org).
But surely small IT companies don't need to be worrying about that kind of thing? Actually, they do - there are solid reasons why all businesses should be going greener, and not just because of the do-gooder's warm fuzzy feelings to be had! Over 70% of PCs will not be recycled when disposed of over the next five years, and globally we will dispose of 512 million. We are now legally obliged to dispose of PC equipment properly, and that normally incurs charges. Thankfully there is a free and simple, if underused, alternative; lots of people in the world are in dire need of our "outdated" computers, so donate them to the likes of http://www.computeraid.org. For safety, I would suggest you scrub your drives first (try dban.sourceforge.net). More regulation info at http://www.netregs.gov.uk.
Perhaps more importantly, consumers and businesses are increasingly taking note of how the products and services they use impact the environment. Memset (http://www.memset.com) became the UK's first "carbon neutral" Web host last Summer and that has definitely helped us win more business, which is also probably why so many other dedicated server hosts are following suit.
Carbon offsetting
Things like travel, electricity usage and product manufacture have a "carbon footprint"; the quantity of greenhouse gases directly or indirectly produced as a result of those activities. Most activities are impossible to make 100% green, but you can offset the effective carbon impact by investing in carbon sequestration projects (eg. planting trees) or in greener power generation facilities (eg. wind farms), thus becoming "carbon neutral".
Organisations like the CarbonNeutral Company (http://www.carbonneutral.com) and the Carbon Trust (http://www.carbontrust.co.uk) can guide you through offsetting, and it is neither expensive nor difficult. For example, an average small office with 10 staff might have equivalent emissions of 20 tonnes CO2/year, which would probably only cost around £200/year to offset.
As well as giving you more credibility in today's increasingly enviro-friendly world, taking a few hours to review your carbon footprint can lead to some worthwhile cost savings as well. A simple example is turning off (or hibernating if, like me, you hate rebooting and getting back to where you were each morning) your PC at night. A recent study by Fujitsu estimated that the UK alone wastes £123m on electricity powering PCs left on out-of-hours. See http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk for general energy-efficiency tips.
Virtually greener
Carbon offsetting is all good stuff, but when it comes to IT power consumption, prevention is better than cure. Demand for high-availability, centralised server resource is growing relentlessly, and high-density computing uses a lot of energy. Even a base-spec 1U rackmount server will burn 100-200 Watts continuously, and once you fill a few racks and add in cooling requirements you are looking at a whopping electricity bill! With energy prices doubling every few years datacentres' power consumption is fast becoming a major issue for IT business, and is now the main cost underlying server hosting.
The oddity from our perspective is that the vast bulk of servers in our datacentres idle most of the time, with perhaps 90% never getting close to full capacity. While many applications are best hosted on their own dedicated server (better security, for example), few need the full resource of a modern multi-core, gigahertz machine. That is where virtualisation comes in; the latest generation of virtual machines, using the hardware-assisted virtualisation in new AMD and Intel's chips (eg. http://www.vmware.com, http://www.miniserver.com), are operationally indistinguishable from a physical server but use 5-20% of the electricity. The reduced power and hardware costs give you significant savings while not costing anything you actually needed in the first place, and at the same time you are tackling climate change.
It can be argued that all such measures are a dribble in the ocean, and some have serious doubts about the efficacy of our whole approach to climate change. However, being more climate-friendly is not difficult for most IT businesses and almost certainly helps, so can you really afford to ignore the risks, or miss out on the benefits of going greener?

Subscribe to usWhy Are Shoppers Buying Online?
"If you’ve recently noticed how you’re going to the mall less and less and logging on to your computer more and more to purchase gifts online, buy the latest must have bag or the Harry Potter book, then don’t fret. You are not a computer addict-- you simply are among the continuously increasing number of people who prefer online shopping than actually going to the mall.
According to a 2005 Nielsen study for example, while store purchases decreased by 10% in 2005 (as opposed to 2002’s figures), online buying increased by 11%. If this rate continues, experts predict that stores would be totally replaced by online stores by 2012 or 2013.
But what exactly makes shopping online so appealing? What makes the thought of clicking away in front of a computer more attractive than actually going to the store?
First reason is that online shopping is infinitely more convenient than traditional shopping. It does away with everything shoppers normally have to contend with when they go to the store: the downtown traffic, the incredibly long lines, the big crowds and the less-than-friendly salespeople. With online shopping, the greatest difficulty you’ll have to face is deciding on which one is better, the red pumps or the black stilettos.
One of the greatest benefits of electronic shopping is that it allows shoppers to shop at their own pace and leisure. Unlike boutiques and department stores, online stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Having a hard time sleeping? Then why not pass the time by going online and starting Christmas shopping really early?
Because online shopping is done at your leisure and in the privacy of your own home, you get the chance to thoroughly examine and study the product you’re going to buy. You can read expert opinions or go to forum boards to ask others about their experiences with the product before you actually make your purchase. Then, once you’ve decided to buy the product, owning the X-box or perfume of your desire is simply a few clicks away.
Recent advances in security and technology has also made shopping online a considerably more attractive and safe option. When electronic shopping was first introduced, the biggest hindrance that prevented people from accepting the technology with open arms was their fear that unscrupulous individuals would be able to intercept the information they send over the Internet. The introduction of Transport Layer Security and other technologies that allow for the secure transfer of data (e.g. address, credit card number, etc.) over the Web however has made people more willing and confident to try to online shopping.
The Internet has opened up a world of possibilities in education, communication and the arts. The same is true with shopping. Now, a fashionista in London need not fly to the other side of the Atlantic to enjoy the latest from New York’s edgy designers, she can just go to the different online stores that carry her favorite brands. Through the powers of computers and the Internet, you are no longer limited to the products available in the stores near you; you get to choose from more products, find the most inexpensive gift ideas and search for the best bargains.
So why do more people are opting to shop online? Because it is fast, convenient and safe. With online shopping, the world really is your store.

Why Shopping Online is Becoming Popular among Internet Users Worldwide.
Ten years ago only a very small percentage of Internet users did their Shopping Online. Many consumers considered shopping online as risky and hazardous.
It is a different story altogether today. Today millions of people the world over are happily doing their shopping online.
According to a news release by ACNielsen the world’s leading provider of consumer and marketplace information published in October 2005, one tenth of the world's population is shopping online-627 million have shopped including over 325 million the previous month.
Over 212 million online shoppers mention books as among the last 3 items they purchased online.
Europe and North America have the highest incidence of online shoppers, with Germany, Austria and the UK topping the list, with at least 95 percent of Internet users having purchased online.
The popular shopping sites eBay and Amazon.com are reported to have recorded over 40 million visits during the year. The other popular sites such as Target Corp, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Shopping.com, Expedia.com too have recorded several million visits.
The popular items purchased being, Books, DVDs and/or video games, plane reservations,articles of clothing/accessories/shoes,electronic devices (including cameras, etc.)and computer hardware.
The consumer enjoys several advantages by making his purchases online and hence the growth experienced by this mode of shopping.
The biggest advantage is that you can sit in the comfort of your home and do all your shopping from any of your chosen online stores with the aid of your computer.
You can browse hundreds of items, compare prices and the shipping cost and make your decision.
The family members can sit around the computer in a relaxed manner without the interference of the sales personnel or the other customers and make a final decision regarding an important or valuable purchase.
There is no need to worry about the opening and closing hours. There is no need to hurry from your work place to make your purchase before closing hours.
Shopping hours are non existent. The online stores will be open 24/7 every day of the year.
You need not walk from store to store, worry about traffic or searching for parking lots for your vehicle.
Online stores often have generous discounts and special deals which you may not find in retail shops because of their lower overheads and operating costs.
For those who love to be unique and ahead of their friends and colleagues, online stores provide a great opportunity for them to purchase certain products that have not yet been released to the general market.
The advantage of Online stores is that they can be accessed by shoppers from any part of the world right round the clock. This is one of the reasons for the growing popularity of online shopping. EBay and Amazon.com are notable examples.
Having said this it must be mentioned that there are all sorts of scams in the Internet and online shoppers should learn to identify and eliminate them. It will be wise to shop in stores that are reputed, popular and reliable or in stores personally known to you.
The present day life style is vastly different from what it was several years ago. Time factor is a major player in today's life style.
Shopping online appears to be the answer and people who buy online are motivated mainly by the ease and convenience of this mode of purchasing items.

The advantage of Online stores is that they can be accessed by shoppers from any part of the world right round the clock. This is one of the reasons for the growing popularity of online shopping. EBay and Amazon.com are notable examples.
Having said this it must be mentioned that there are all sorts of scams in the Internet and online shoppers should learn to identify and eliminate them. It will be wise to shop in stores that are reputed, popular and reliable or in stores personally known to you.
The present day life style is vastly different from what it was several years ago. Time factor is a major player in today's life style.
Shopping online appears to be the answer and people who buy online are motivated mainly by the ease and convenience of this mode of purchasing items.

How to encrypt my files to protect my information
What does encryption do for me?
Encryption and cryptographic software has been used in many different ways to make systems more secure. This article discusses only a few ways that such software can make your system more secure, including:
1) Encrypting your email
2) Encrypting your files
To programs are mentioned that will help encrypt information. There are many more programs out there that will help, but these programs are good and a good place to start as any. They have the added benefit of both being free with source code available.
Will encryption stop people from accessing my information?
Encryption simply makes it harder for people to gain access to important information, like passwords or sensitive information in a file. The first thing you should know about encryption is that the algorithm that is used to encrypt can be simple or more complex and that affects how securely what you have encrypted is protected. Encryption systems have been broken when the method of encryption is understood by hackers and is easy to break.
Why bother to encrypt my email?
It should be noted that email is far less secure than paper mail for two very good reasons: first, electronic data can be accessed easily over an Internet and secondly, electronic data is really simple to copy. There is a very good chance that someone has snooped around in your email despite your best intentions to stop it.
How do I go about encrypting my email?
There are many programs out there that can help you encrypt your email. A very popular one is PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) or its Gnu offshoot GPG.
PGP (http://www.pgpi.org/) self-describes itself this way: This "is a program that gives your electronic mail something that it otherwise doesn't have: Privacy. It does this by encrypting your mail so that nobody but the intended person can read it. When encrypted, the message looks like a meaningless jumble of random characters. PGP has proven itself quite capable of resisting even the most sophisticated forms of analysis aimed at reading the encrypted text."
Why bother to encrypt my files?
The answer to this boils down to what you store on your computer. If you have financial data with important information like social security numbers, email addresses, account numbers and passwords, then you open yourself up to losing very valuable information. Most corporate Internet security employees will attest to the widespread theft of very valuable information. As long as you are connected to the Internet you are vulnerable.
How do I go about encrypting my files?

Documents to be Submitted for Company Formation
Company formation, in layman terms, can be defined as the process of incorporating a company. A person can incorporate a company in the UK after submitting certain necessary papers and a registration fee with the Registrar of Companies. These days, companies can be registered using either the paper process, or electronically.
For both the paper process and the electronic process, it is essential for the person incorporating the company to submit some crucial documents. Even if one document is missing, the registration of the company will not be considered complete, and hence it will not be incorporated. The documents submitted for the purpose of company formation using the paper and the electronic process are similar, with just one document not required in the electronic process.
The documents required for the process of company formation are:
1.A Memorandum of Association: This document contains the company's name and its objective. The registered office address also must be mentioned. The objective of the company must be clearly defined; for example, whether it would operate as a general commercial company or as a non-profit corporation or any other form of business function. This memorandum has to be delivered to the Registrar, duly signed by each subscriber in the presence of a witness who attests the signature.
2.Articles of Association: This document underlines the rules that would be applied to running the company's internal matters. This document too must be delivered to the Registrar, duly signed by each subscriber in the presence of a witness who attests the signature.
3.Form 10: This document contains the name and other details, like the addresses, occupation and date of birth, of the director(s), secretary and the prospective address of the registered office. It must also give details of the positions held by the concerned people in the past five years. Again, each officer mentioned and each subscriber must sign the form along with mentioning the date.
4.Form 12: This document is the statutory declaration that proclaims compliance with all the legal requirements that are related to the company formation process. It must either be signed by the solicitor who is responsible for forming the company or by any one of the directors or company secretaries that have been named in Form 10. The presence of a commissioner of oaths, a solicitor or a justice of the peace and a notary public are essential during the signing of the document. The usual fee for anyone who witnesses the statutory declaration is £5.
The only difference in the electronic process is that it does not require the submission of Form 12. The omission of one document considerably speeds up the process. For access to the electronic process, the subscriber needs software that is compatible with the Companies House e-Filing service. The subscriber also requires an account with the Companies house, or might require the services of a Company Formation Agent.

Based in Zeeland, Michigan, the Company develops, manufactures and markets interior and exterior automatic-dimming automotive rearview mirrors that utilize proprietary electrochromic technology to dim in proportion to the amount of headlight glare from trailing vehicle headlamps.
