How To Make Money On-Line
How to make money on the Internet has the attention of a lot of people. The key to making money on the Internet is to focus on what you have to offer and then employ the proper marketing strategy.
Internet marketing is much like the game of chess, for in the game of chess all of the pieces lie before you and your opponent. Every move that you make, no matter how slight it may be will have powerful impact later in the game. As in chess, Internet marketing is clear and open for everyone to see, there are no secrets, cards, or dice involved in making your moves. Every move that you make in your Internet Marketing plans has long-term affects on you and your business.
Also as in chess there is strategy and tactics, strategy is the abstract reason part of chess, figuring out what combinations of moves to make to secure a position. So too in Internet marketing, you need to put theory first so as to have a plan to follow. The tactics part of Internet marketing like chess is the act of doing the job, e.g. making a Website, blob, and writing articles about your industry.
As we have seen the way to make money on-line is much like the game of chess so let us examine this and see what we can do.
First, you need to asses yourself and your product and service. This is the theoretical part of the plan, you must do a lot of thinking before you can set to task. You need to know what it is that you offer but also how will the customers on-line understand it and use it, try and think out of your shoes the best you can. It is wise to seek the advice of others that can help you step back from your work and get a good perspective.
Second, you need to make a Website and bog, this is the tactics part of your marketing plan. Be sure to have a credit card merchant on your site so as to collect money on-line. The website will be your base of operations and the blog will be your agent to bring customers to your site. This is the hands-on get to work part of your job and it will take hours and hours. Just the time it will take you to figure out the best keyword phrases will take many hours much less the designing and implementation of your Website.
Third, you need to write articles and post them to your blog, this is very important because it shows that you are an authority in your field and will establish you.
fourth, you must optimize your Website and blog so that it will be seen on the Internet with the keywords you have chosen.
If you follow these steps you will make money on the Internet.

Seeds Grow Into Trees
Seeds grow into trees. So the saying goes, but what does it mean? There are many ways that one can look at this but as a man of Fine Art and Philosophy I will take this from a more aesthetic perspective.
The key to the phrase lies in the word "seed" for this it the item that is unknown. The point to be made here is that when you are in the midst of things you have the tendency to do things out of context because you are busy. How often have your said "I will put it here for now" and then years pass.
However, the point here is deeper and more profound than setting things in a place for an unknown duration of time. What is profound is the gravity of things that can portend from ill thought out plans. It is addressing wisdom and your actions, it beckons you to stop and reflect on your actions and to process your thoughts very carefully on what the long-term effects will be.
Consider your family, will you not take the time to carefully choose the best schools for your children or the best areas to live in. No matter where you live and where you are educated the long-term of that choice you made will be profound on everyone concerned. Seeds are very small in comparison to the large trees they become.
The bottom line is to be wise! Think carefully on the important things you do for they will live with you for years.

It Is My Task To Show You The Stars!
It is not my task to teach you to do things as I do, for that is limited and narrow which at best would only make you like me. It is my task to show you the stars so that you may chart your own course for yourself and those after you!
The above inspiring words are words that need to be reflected up for we all are in our journey and as time passes we seem to lose our way. If we stop and reflect and think not about ourselves but rather think and focus on those that we love it will enhance your life as well.
Stop and look at those around you and ask yourself how can best can you interact with them? What can you find out about then in a loving caring way so that you may be of service to them? Dwell on things the will be enriching for others and see how you can be a steward of good service.
What costs many people so much in life is the fact that they do not take the time to stop and think. For they get caught up in their job or with other people that do not have your best interest in mind. If you consider the words written above you will realize the all is fleeting and that we have a very short time here, so we must do what we can while we are here to be of service to others.

The Wheel Pales Without the Axle
The wheel pales without the axle. This is a fact that cannot be denied for the real use of the wheel is when it is utilized in conjunction with an axle. This holds true from a child's red wagon to the largest Semi's on the road.
I bring this up to illustrate that even something so fundamental and core to our being as the wheel it is relatively useless when out of context or not aligned with other objects. The key is socialization for that brings things together much like interacting with people. Thus when things are brought together you have a more cohesive and better functioning system.
When you bring things together you are in the creative process and thus making choices as where to align the various things that have been placed before you. You look over everything carefully and then start the selection process carefully choosing each item so that it will fit exactly as you want. When you are done choosing you have your creation, be it a wedding cake or automobile the creative process is at work.
However, much like writing an article the product is always subject to modification and improvement which may mean adjusting items that you have selected or even completely removing them all together. All in all the point here is that when you want to create something you have to be aware of the weaknesses and strengths of the items you are choosing and remember that you can really only know this when the item is in place juxtaposed with the other items you have selected. Watch and see how things work collectively not individually and you will see results!

Is Photography Art?
Is Photography Art? If so how is so?
The above question is almost a rhetorical one for one special reason - you cannot muster up facts to support your claim. In other words there are no facts available at any level to answer the question. The sad point here is that it lies in the hands of opinion and opinion at any level is folly.
As an artist and a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago I have the proper credentials to speak on this topic. It is my conviction that photography is not art but does require artistic assistance in delivery. The main reason that I say this is do to the fact that a mechanical object (or electronic digital device) is the agent of photographic depiction not the human at any level. For anything to be a work of art it has to come from a human being.
Rather than view photographs as works of art it is more prudent to view photographs taken by an artist! For it is the artist that has that special mind or "eye" for that which is artistic, much in the same manner as a musician has and understanding and sensitivity to that which is musical.
The artist possesses the acumen to create wonderful images through these mechanical objects. To pose the question "is a photographer and artist?" is folly for the question obviously bespeaks the answer! A photographer is a photographer not an artist.
