The Viral lesson Series

The Silver Harvest is going to hold in a few weeks time. We have thus decided to include a free seminar lecture series package for interested participants.

This lecture will be a seven lecture series on "Viral Marketing".

The buzzwords Viral Marketing refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet.

Viral promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, ebooks, brandable software, images, or even text messages. The basic form of viral marketing is not infinitely sustainable.

The goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to identify individuals with high Social Networking Potential (SNP) and create Viral Messages that appeal to this segment of the population and have a high probability of being taken by another competitor.

The term "viral marketing" has also been used pejoratively to refer to stealth marketing campaigns—the unscrupulous use of astroturfing on-line combined with undermarket advertising in shopping centers to create the impression of spontaneous word of mouth enthusiasm.

Members and fans of the various forums of CRIG CONSULT will be automatically registered for this seminar lecture series.

The lecture will be completed on a 2 weeks basis.

Thanks.

The Viral lesson Series

Silver Harvest.

Without any form of doubt, I know that one way or the other you must have had a close contact with it;

"Silver is a metallic chemical element with the chemical symbol Ag (Latin: argentum) and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal. The metal occurs naturally in its pure, free form (native silver), as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite. Most silver is produced as a by-product of copper, gold, lead, and zinc refining.

Silver has long been valued as a precious metal, and it is used to make ornaments, jewelry, high-value tableware, utensils (hence the term silverware), and currency coins. Today, silver metal is also used in electrical contacts and conductors, in mirrors and in catalysis of chemical reactions. Its compounds are used in photographic film and dilute silver nitrate solutions and other silver compounds are used as disinfectants and micro biocides. While many medical antimicrobial uses of silver have been supplanted by antibiotics, further research into clinical potential continues."

That is a short line of it's description on Wikipedia. One thing that nobody will readily tell you is the fact that you can actually decide to manufacture this precious element, anywhere, even at the back of your house and make unbelievable amount of money doing so.

The market is also astonishingly ready. So the question is:
How come you are just hearing of this?
What can you do to be part of the first executive gathering of CRIG CONSULT which will dwell on this issue?

Well, it is truely very simple. Just send a mail to crigconsult@yahoo.com and you will get a reply which will include your free invite to the gathering. It is absolutely free; your only fee is the mail you have to send to register your interest.

This is an opportunity to get that information you have always dreamt of. Remember, the difference between the rich and the poor is the type of information at their disposal.

Super Eagles Land In South Africa 2010

It is impossible, I could not refuse the temptation of writing about the qualification of the Super Eagle to the first World Cup to be held in the African continent, next summer. Against the expectations of many, who expected the team, to falter in the all important final round of matches, the players fought like gallant soldiers. If there was any doubt about the commitment of the team, it was effectively answered today.

After going down by a goal in the first half, the team rallied back to score two goals by Yakubu Aiyagbeni and Obafemi Martins, in the second half. The team was thrown into a serious bout of confusion and uncertainty when the Kenyas got the equalizer with about ten (10) minutes left in the game.

A good run ensured that Mikel Obi's cross could only be cleared unto the path of Osaze Odemwingie. who cleverly jabbed the ball into the box for Obafemi Martins to stab home the winner of the match.

Interestingly, the other match of the group, which was the ultimate decider as to who qualifies to play at the World cup, ended in favour of the Mozambique team; a result which was the perfect one for the Super Eagles, after seeing off the stubborn Kenyas.

For now, the most important thing is to savour the victory and pray that the Golden eaglets will make it a double celebration for Nigerians tomorrow against Switzerland.

I salute the team, and the coaches for displaying only what true heroes are capable of. The team will surely get a true heroes reception when they get back to the country.

My Man of the Match award goes to Obafemi Martins for scoring the two vital goals, when needed.
Other players worthy of mention are: Mikel Obi, Osaze Odemwingie and the other members of the teams. Kudos to you all.

UP NIGERIA!
UP SUPER EAGLES!
UP SHUAIB AMODU!

Get Rich!

Being rich can be accounted for on various terms. Some people may feel rich if they are surrounded by their family or close relatives. Others count richness based in the number of their friends or fullness of heart due to service rendered for the good of humanity.

Still, one of the most sought-after richness is often that which is measurable in terms of monetary or property value.

People can be rich through various ways and means. What one needs to look out for is his or her interest, and then find ways of earning through such interest so as not to feel the burden and stress of raising funds.

Below are some tips on how to get rich:

1. Invest in stocks. Though stocks are highly unstable, an individual should have the necessary knack for determining when to sell and when to purchase the right number of stocks.

Entailing the services of a broker might be a good idea, though a conservative one is still sometimes the best choice since a chancy broker, though he or she might give you a fortune on a surge in certain stocks, might be too much of a risk.

2. Buy and sell. Individuals who have large amounts of capital engage in buying and selling of real estates or houses, with the intention of reselling it after its value has increased.

Value may increase due to renovations and repairs (if it is a house) or improvements on the area (for estates).

For individuals who have full-time jobs, he or she may sell small items to earn extra cash.

Earning is not the end-all and be-all of being rich. One has to learn and take into consideration the following information to be able to retain such earnings.

1. Live simply. The common downfall of most people who experience a sudden upward surge in their income is to uplift their cost of living. This may be in the form of acquiring a larger house, a trendy and costly mobile phone, new cars or new appliances.

Though at first glance this may look like a one-time purchase or flow-out of money, others costs or probable expenses are hidden in the form of maintenance expense (gasoline for all the newly-acquired cars), repairs (larger houses entails larger amount of money needed for probable repairs) and larger bills (utility bills for the large house or housecleaning services).

2. Saving. If an individual saves at least 20% of his or her monthly earnings, and invests the same on mutual funds or other investment vehicles that offer higher interest rates as compared to savings account interest on some banks, he or she would be guaranteed a fair amount of money saved for future use.

3. Recycle. Items that currently have no more value or use to the owner might be of something good to someone else.

Hold garage sales to discard items that occupy space and clutter the home. Not only would this clear the house, but this would give an individual extra cash from which he or she may add to their savings account or use as additional capital for whatever investment he or she would like to engage in.

Still, richness can only be truly felt when an individual has the feeling of being satisfied with everything that he or she has. This is the shortest way to the path to richness.
