Advertising The Series -- Writing a good headline for your advertisement
There is no denying the fact that the success of an advertisement lies mostly in the headline. The headline should attract the reader and make him read the rest of the advertisement. The headline should be simply catchy and
various key points should be embedded when deciding on the headline for the ad.
The headline should catch attention of the eye at the first glance. Words in headlines should act as tags for the
advertisement. It should say it all about the content that follows. If a company is selling reasonably priced
furniture, the headline of their advertisement should be ‘Durable furniture for less price’. This headline will .......

Digital Cameras The Series -- Take Better Pictures With Your Digital Camera
Today’s cameras make taking pictures a lot easier than the one’s of yesterday. There is always room for
improvement, however. Use the following tips to help make your photos go from acceptable to great.
1. Always be aware of the background. You don’t want to find trees growing out of people’s heads or a passing
vehicle to draw attention from your subject. Sometimes moving your subject just a couple steps to either side
can make all the difference.
2. Use available light. If your digital camera has an option to turn the flash off and it’s light enough outside to read
a book then use the available light and turn the flash off. In general camera flashes are too harsh for human skin .......

eBay for Business The Series -- You Won that eBay Auction! Now What Do You Do?
It's a heady feeling when you win your first eBay auction: a mixture of happiness and perhaps just a little fear. After all, there seems to be so much to do before you can actually get your item. What do you do next?
The simple answer is: you send payment to the seller, as quickly as possible. The quicker you pay, the more your seller will like you, and the sooner your item will arrive. But how you go about it? That all depends on how you plan to pay.
PayPal.
PayPal is one of the most popular options for paying on eBay, to the point where eBay decided to buy the company. It allows instant electronic payment across the Internet. Money goes instantly from your credit or debit card to the seller's PayPal account, where they can either. .......

RSS directories are popular these days. RSS is widely used initially by news sites to allow others to syndicate their news stories. Now, a lot of other websites are using RSS. It is being used in flagging new forum headlines, auction listings, sales listings and others.

Self Improvement The Series -- SELF IMPROVEMENT AND SUCCESS
Everything that happens to us happens in purpose. And sometimes, one thing leads to another. Instead of locking
yourself up in your cage of fears and crying over past heartaches, embarrassment and failures, treat them as your teachers and they will become your tools in both self improvement and success.
I remember watching Patch Adams – its my favorite movie, actually. Its one great film that will help you improve yourself. Hunter “patch” Adams is a medical student who failed to make it through the board exams. After months of suffering in melancholy, depression and suicidal attempts – he decided to seek for medical attention and voluntarily admitted himself in a psychiatric ward. His months of stay in the hospital led him to. .......

Website Traffic The Series -- Some other Keyword Research Tools
One need to choose those keywords that are frequently searched for and which is in high demand, but not being
already used by many other websites and competitors, and thus has low competition. There are a number of
keyword research tools that can help you find them.
Apart from the Wordtracker which was already discussed in an other article, we have some more equally important research tools like the Overture, Google AdWords Keyword and Guidebeam.
Overture's http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ keyword suggestion tool is free and much quicker to use than Wordtracker. It works more like the Wordtracker but doesn't tell you how many websites are targeting each keyword phrase. For example if you type ‘Computer’, the Overture search suggestion tool will tell you that during the last month .......

Heathkit where did they go
04-02-2024 We let a lot more months go by and the RF Meter - HM-1002 is still not shipping and the site remains the same.
08-02-2023 We let several months go by and the RF Meter - HM-1002 is still not shipping.
04-02-2023 Looking back, the RF Meter - HM-1002 was introduced in 2017 as a new kit available for pre-order. Here it is 2023 and no indication when it will be in production and ship to those who pre-ordered it.
03-02-2023 Still the same, Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 is not in production yet?? It would be interesting to know if Heathkit has any idea when this kit may be in production??
02-02-2023 Still the same, Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 is not in production yet??
01-02-2023 Still the same, definitely no change.
12-02-2022 Still the same, and i'm wondering how many years HM-1002 kit has been on pre-order? I will look it up for next time.
11-2-2022 Their website contents remains the same. Little or nothing obvious has changed at Heathkit.
0-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. Now you start to wonder if they haven't run into some engineering problems, which prevent shipping it.
9-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. Now you start to wonder if they haven't run into some engineering problems, which prevent shipping it.
8-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. Now you start to wonder if they haven't run into some engineering problems, which prevent shipping it.
7-02-2022 Their website contents remains the same, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. Now you start to wonder if they haven't run into some engineering problems, which prevent shipping it.
06-02-2022 The same to report, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders.
05-02-2022 Yes, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping there initial pre-orders. I'm really looking forward to the day they ship and the possibility of being able to buy this unit and receive it in a timely fashion.
04-02-2022 And Again, The HM-1002 kit is still not shipping, a number of items can take 4 to 5 weeks before you receive them, due to country restrictions, parts availability, etc..
03-02-2022 And Again, The HM-1002 kit has not started to ship, from this you can expect any new kits they come up with will take 5 to 10 yrs before they make it to production and you get a chance to buy. It is kind of sad when you think about it and what they used to be many years ago.
02-02-2022 And Again, There are no changes to be found, HM-1002 still not being shipped!
01-02-2022 And Again, There are no changes to be found, HM-1002 still not being shipped!
12-02-2021 Again, There are no changes to be found, HM-1002 still not being shipped!
11-02-2021 There are no changes to be found, HM-1002 still not being shipped!
10-02-2021 We see nothing new this month.
09-02-2021 We see nothing new again this month. Except maybe a new T shirt.
08-02-2021 We see nothing new this month.
07-02-2021 We see nothing new as of this month, and the RF Meter - HM-1002 still not being delivered to pre-order customers. It's going to be a long wait!
06-02-2021 We see nothing new as of this month.
05-02-2021 Don't look for or expect anything new from Heathkit, they continue to just coast along, with nothing new or changing. It has been 8 months since the Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 kit went into the manufacturing phase, with no shipments yet??
04-02-2021 Their status remains the same as last month, nothing new.
03-02-2021 Their status remains the same as last month, nothing new.
02-02-2021 Their status remains the same as last month, nothing new.
01-02-2021 Looking thru their site, they still have HM-1002 power meter in pre-order and a newly added adroid app and a parallel port adapter for micro-controller programming..
12-02-2020 Looking thru their site, still nothing new found.
11-02-2020 Nothing new to report.
10-02-2020 The only kits of any consequence are the GC-1006 Clock Kit currently available and the RF Meter - HM-1002 kit, which is still in pre-order. It looks like it will be many years down the road before you see any new real kits from Heathkit that aren't in pre-order for 4 or 5 years or more!
09-02-2020 Pre-orders for the Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 kit are now closed. They have entered the manufacturing phase, this is the only new news for now.
08-02-2020 Their Precision RF Meter - HM-1002 kit is still on pre-order. A long time to wait and still waiting. Nothing has changed I'm sorry to say.

06-02-2020 Another month and there is nothing new to report.
05-02-2020 Another month and there is nothing new to report.
04-02-2020 Another month and there is nothing new to report.
03-02-2020 There is nothing new to report.
02-02-2020 Still a delay in receiving the GC-1006 Clock Kit. and the RF Meter Kit. From what I can gather, Heathkit is a part time enterprise. Very little on there site and the first new Radio kit was a disappointment and not worthy of the Heathkit name.
01-02-2020 Still a delay in receiving the GC-1006 Clock Kit.
12-02-2019 It looks like there are delays in receiving their new GC-1006 Most Reliable Clock Kit.
11-02-2019 No new kits but they have added a number of clean pre-owned kits at fair prices.
10-02-2019 Their RF Meter HM-1002 is still on pre-order and essentially nothing new.,

03-02-2019 Checking their site, looks like nothing new.
02-02-2019 Looks like they have no new kits and no new parts listed. They do talk about new SM (surface mount ruler kits) coming soon
01-02-2019 Reports have the GC-1006 clock kit as a good value for the $99.95 price tag, and a good kit to get back into kit building. At least some good news from kit builders and Heathkit!
12-02-2018 They have added an antenna kit to their current line. The AN-P2L pipe antenna kit, which sells for 149.95. Other than that it is pretty much the same this month.
11-02-2018 October shows the same as October.
10-02-2018 October shows the same as September.
09-02-2018 Checking in on their website, shows nothing new to talk about. Hopefully the few kits they currently have for sale are worth the cost??
08-02-2018 Things have settled in, and the only new item is a magnifying loop. That is it for this month.
07-02-2018 They have added an active ruler kit, which looks to be a good SMD starter kit but highly over priced and a SMD soldering kit that is over priced also, to their lineup.
06-02-2018 This month sees no change since last month.
05-02-2018 A new kit has been added to their line up, the GC-1006 a digital clock kit with a solid case - cost is $99.95.

12-02-2017 They have another new kit the GC-1006 clock kit, it costs $99.95.
11-02-2017 They may have more kits on the drawing board but it will probably be some time before we see them.
10-02-2017 Looks like this latest kit will be it for awhile.
09-02-2017 A new kit, the HM-1002 rf power monitor. Available late summer 2017. Cost $575.00..
08-02-2017 And again no real change.
07-02-2017 Once again no real change.
06-02-2017 No change since last month.
05-02-2017 They have made no more advancement in the new kit area. I suspect it will be some time before we see a new kit from them, I hope I'm wrong.
04-02-2017 We are hopeful, that something new is in the works.
03-02-2017 Nothing to add as of this date.
02-02-2017 Nothing to add as of this date.
