SPAM 0 - ME 1


Every morning and throughout the day, unwanted advertising is sent to my e-mail address. Like most people, I have better things to do than to sit and delete unwanted mail.

In MS Outlook, if you have the patience to set up enough rules to filter out the spam, it's possible to get rid of most of the spam, but that's in Outlook. The spam is still there when I read my e-mail on my mobile phone.

A good solution
I spent an evening studying spam software. Many seemed good for the PC, but my big problem is when I read the e-mail on the mobile phone.

One of few that solved the problem was Digimark DesktopOne. It was easy to set it up to scan the mail on the server and then, also mobile phone was free of spam. Of course, I have to leave my computer on to solve this, but since it is on when I'm not sleeping, it's not a problem.

Digimark DesktopOne can be downloaded from http://www.cloudmarkdesktop.com/en/home

One free version, for one mail account only, but if you set it up to scan the server, not the mail client on your computer, it's will do the job, if your problem is the mobile phone.

With the Pro version you can scan as many accounts as you need to. POP3, IMAP, Google Mail, Yahoo and others.

DESPERATE to loose WEIGHT?

You've tried all the diets, followed all the advice, with no results, so now you are desperate to find something that works?



Willpower is your "Stop System". It applies the brakes to actions that are begun by the "Go System". It may help you eat less, but maybe not so much when it comes to moving more and burn calories.

You can reach your goals, but do it the right way. Focus on what you will do, not what you want to accomplish. The final accomplishment comes as a result of what you have done, not as a result of setting a goal.

On our site for our next generation functional drink, Bodyshield, you can read more about weight loss and how to reach your goals.

Good luck and Merry Xmas!

Calendar SPAM

Well, I guess it has been out there for a while, but until now, I never had a problem with it. Now when the Google calendar is synced with my Outlook and my Android phone, it became one. Getting invitations to meetings, both on the phone and the computer, from people I never heard of, it became annoying.

Fortunately it was fixed with a setting in the Google Calendar, because that's where it all came from.

In order to correct this problem, I had to go to the Calendar Settings and change "Automatically add invitations to my calendar", selected "No", and clicked the "Save" button.


Now it remains to see if it solved the problem :)

Christmas PRESENTS

It's not uncommon that suppliers give Christmas presents to their customers, but we think that most of our customers already have what they need, or get it from someone else, so this year, we will give a present to someone who need it.

We think the Barefoot Foundation deserves our support and when we start our distribution of the Amazon Secret, in Colombia, we will make sure they get more than a few dollars as a Christmas present.



If you can afford it
It's a financial crisis in many countries, but if you can spare a few dollars, we recommend that you go tohttp://gs.dympol.com/d/4Cso and give your support. How much is up to you.

Happy holidays!

Does it matter, the name of the product?

Of course, a products name is important. A good name is the difference between failure and success. There are many examples to prove it.

Blood Orange or Red Orange
One example; A Norwegian fruit distributor changed from Blood Orange, what these red oranges are commonly know as, to Red Orange and increased the sales 70%

Same fruit, different name. It proves that the name is important.

Fighting for your ATTENTION

There are millions of web-sites on the Internet, and getting attention, to spread the word, is not the easiest thing. Especially if you're not a popular blogger or have a web-site with one of the popular  issues, like fashion  sex, celebrities, etc.

For us, who mainly target importers and distributors, ranking is difficult, so for us it's more about getting response from those who visit us. Something we can convert to business.

It should not be the focus
but it's an indication. Higher ranking tells us if we reach out or not, so we have to compare ourselves with our competitors, not the most popular sites out there.

Being the most visited Norwegian site, promoting Coffee, is an issue for us and we have accomplished that goal. Maybe the next should be to have our Norwegian market share up from 1% to a number with 2 digits.

Content is important
Since Google no longer use keywords, the quality of the content is important, so that would be our best advice to those who want to increase their online ranking. Google focus on bringing quality, so to have a good result, you have to do the same.

Well, there are many ways to get a good result and we don't have all the answers, but if you want to see how we have done it, you may visit our web-site; http://sorze4.com/en

Turn Customers Away

When you start a company, it feels like you have to take every order a customer is willing to give you, no matter how small. But when you start getting $10,000 orders, you should be turning away the $1,000 ones. 

Do the same thing with the $10,000 orders when you start to get $100,000 contracts. 
Making a small sale generally takes as much effort as making a big sale - except that the small one pays a lot less.
