Centuries had passed but music survived and even grew to greater heights every single decade. As a matter of fact, the demand of music has been rising very steadily in the past 10 years and it will continue that way in the foreseeable future. It comes along with the big amount of revenue the music industry is currently getting year after year. It is an unstoppable force as people always look up for the next great artist around the corner, thus continuing the cycle and the relevance of music. The demand of music content is at an all time high. The global music revenue since the turn of the century has been steady&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://naijatastic.com                               &quot;&gt;https://naijatastic.com&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. The currency is measured in billions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;As the technology grew, music got more technical, complex and in demand. Others take credit for using music they don&#39;t own. Nowadays, independent musicians are well aware of protecting their work for legal purposes. Through music licensing, you can be ensured of your asset/work being protected legally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;What is music licensing? Music licensing is the licensed used for copyrighted music. This allows the owner of the music to maintain the copyright of their original work. It also ensures the owner of the musical work to be compensated if their music is being used by others&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;www.ottosafariguide.com                               &quot;&gt;www.ottosafariguide.com&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. The music licensing companies has limited rights to use the work without separate agreements. In music licensing, you could get your work licensed in the form of music, composition and songwriting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;During the music licensing process, there are terms that would be discussed by the groups involved. If you are an independent musician, you would be the licensor. You are the one responsible of the music created, thus you are the copyright owner of the licensed work. A licensee would be the music licensing company as they would be the one who will distribute your work to other industries. They will also collect the royalty fees as distribute them back to you if your music is included in live performances, TV shows, ads, campaigns, video games, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;There are also two kinds of contracts in music licensing, namely exclusive contract and non-exclusive contract. Exclusive contract means having your work licensed exclusively to a single music licensing company. Only a single company has the authority to distribute and market your work. If you signed an exclusive contract to your song or album, you cannot use the same music contents and get it signed by other music licensing companies. The agreement is exclusive and confidential to the licensor and the licensee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Non-exclusive contract allows a second party to distribute your work and it doesn&#39;t prohibit the licensor to sell their music to other music licensing companies or licensees. An independent musician can sign a non-exclusive contract to multiple companies using the same music content. Non-exclusive contracts are generally used to prevent an individual from being locked into a restrictive contract before their work gains popularity. This type of contract is designed to protect music artists from being taken advantage of in the early stages of their respective careers while on the process of getting their music out to larger audiences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;There are also cases which involves direct payment for used music content. This is called Sync Fees. Sync fee is a license granted by a holder of a copyrighted music to allow a licensee to synchronize music with visual media such as ads, films, TV shows, movie trailers, video games, etc. For example, a video producer is in dire need of music content for a certain project and is in a limited time of finding one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In these cases, the artist and the music licensing company will be contacted directly for the possible use of the original work and negotiate the upfront payment involved. Sync fees can range from a few dollars to a couple of hundred dollars or up to thousands. The payment usually depends on how big and established a company is. If it is a well known company, there is a probability that the sync fee will spike up in value.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;We need to understand that businesses nowadays are paying premium for music at an all time high. The influx and revenue generated on different industries are worth billions of dollars and the music artists who got their music licensed will get a big share of that money. The content of music is very important. Every single company need visual and audio content. You can&#39;t do ads, shows and movies without having any music content.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Music licensing brings compensation for assets used. This is called royalty fees. A royalty fee is the payment collected by one party from another for the ongoing use of a copyrighted asset. You can get compensated if your work is featured on live public performances. For every live use of your music, you get compensated as you own the copyright of your work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) has collected over $941 million dollars in licensing fees and distributed $827.7 million dollars in royalties to its members back in 2014. BMI on the other hand, collected more than $1.013 billion dollars in license fees and distributed over $877 million dollars in royalties to its members during the year 2015.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Music licensing is the modern way of earning through music. In the past few years, the physical sales had gone down. Streaming music has taken over because it&#39;s more convenient and practical with the help of the World Wide Web. With the rise of streaming sales, the figures that could be collected as royalty fees could spike up in the years coming. In fact, as stated in an Australian financial review website, streaming generated $2.5 billion dollars in US music sales last year, overtaking digital downloads as the industry&#39;s biggest source of music revenue. As stated in the picture below, the global streaming of music is projected to reach greater heights in terms of revenue in the upcoming years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The internet contributed greatly for the rise of music licensing and streaming. 20 years ago, the distribution of music hasn&#39;t been exactly this big. Television shows and filmmakers are the top two industries that need music content. Today, there are more and more TV shows, films, commercials, movies, ads and tons of video games that need music content. It is safe to say that the internet opened the public eye about the opportunities involved behind it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;One of the most visited sites on earth is YouTube. People use, duplicate, rework, copy, revise and perform music from different artists around the world. It also has an influx of ads which contains music content. To track all these data, YouTube has a Content ID System. If your music is licensed, you can contact this site and they will take a look at their data and see if your work is being used by other parties. As the licensor, you have the authority to take actions such as mute the audio which matches your music, block a whole video from being viewed, track the video&#39;s viewership statistics or monetize the video by running ads against it. Every country has different rules about it. But YouTube runs a lot of ads and monetizing work from this site is very probable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;If you are an independent musician, you must improve and instill professionalism in your craft to get your chances up of being signed by a music licensing company. With billions of dollars of revenue involved today, you want at least a slice of the pie. Monetizing your passion is never easy but taking the necessary steps to make it work is a must to reach success.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/feeds/3087095850520095239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/2022/01/how-to-license-your-music.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7600258832792598649/posts/default/3087095850520095239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7600258832792598649/posts/default/3087095850520095239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/2022/01/how-to-license-your-music.html' title='How To License Your Music'/><author><name>asdf4dsf4dsf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02123703073678787537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258832792598649.post-4903290973321990361</id><published>2022-01-20T06:14:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-20T06:14:08.858-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Pros and Cons of Online Shopping</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;Online shopping is becoming more and more popular each year as people embrace the convenience, selection, and low prices available when shopping online. In this article I speak to some of the pros and cons of online shopping.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;There is something to be said for walking into a physical store and being able to see, touch, and easily ask questions about a product. One could argue that brick and mortar shopping is a more engaging experience, often filled with background music of some sort, along with the sights and sounds of other customers and clerks available to provide assistance when needed. Different products can be compared side by side with very little effort&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.vitamartshop.com/                      &quot;&gt;https://www.vitamartshop.com/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. One benefit of brick and mortar shopping is its organization, which allows one to locate the right department and the right shelf pretty easily. Everything the store offers is made available via a layout of straight-forward, logical departments. Online sites provide an organizational layout and text search capability, but this different way of locating a product of interest is one online shopping difference that takes some getting used to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cocktailhire.com                      &quot;&gt;https://www.cocktailhire.com&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. Other benefits of brick front shopping is being able to get out of the house, exercise a bit, breathe some outdoor air and avoid cabin fever (this type of activity was quite important in the winter when I lived in Chicago).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;People that are cautious in nature might find certain features of online shopping a bit hard to get used to, such as getting acclimated to what would be the equivalent of searching for merchandise with tunnel blinders that only permit a very narrow view of what is directly ahead of one&#39;s eyes. Brick and mortar stores are physically arranged to make it more probable that certain items will be seen more than others. Online stores also provide focus on certain products over others. Most websites contain product descriptions, but the descriptions can be either too general or too detailed, making it difficult to compare two or more products on their features. If the shopper has a question that is appropriate for a human being such as a clerk in a store, where does the online customer go to ask the question? There is something lost in not having an informed person available to provide an immediate answer. Many popular online shopping sites now provide customer reviews-independent reviews provided by customers that have bought each product. These reviews go a long way toward providing enough detailed information about a product so one can determine whether or not to purchase it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In the USA online shopping malls and websites address the limitations found in the online shopping process by offering near enough to a no-questions-asked return policy to ensure the happiness of the online customer. Even so, one downside of online shopping is having to wait to obtain the product, depending on whatever mode of shipping is selected. If a product needs to be refunded or returned for whatever reason, there&#39;s the inconvenience of returning the product. This often involves a phone call and trip to the local post office, after which one waits again to either receive a replacement or refund. Compare this to just running the item and receipt back to a local brick front store and having either a refund or an exchanged product in hand within a few minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s talk about security. In a physical store, cash can be used, and if a debit or credit card is used the shopper gets to see who processes his or her card. Also, one is usually not required to provide personal information such as a name and physical address. Not so with online shopping, as the item must be addressed and delivered to a person at an address. Cash cannot be used online, so what entity processes the card and captures the personal information over the web? And how well is the personal information protected? One way to greatly reduce risk when shopping online is to use virtual credit card numbers. These numbers are provided by credit card issuers such as Citi and Discover, and can be used only once, so even if the credit card information is captured by some other entity during the transaction, it cannot be used to complete a second purchase. I use virtual credit card numbers when I shop online, and I highly recommend this practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Let us look at the benefits of shopping online. If the four-wheeled vehicle in one&#39;s driveway is expensive to gas up, then it&#39;s an obvious plus to be able to shop the virtual market and save transportation costs. It is also a &quot;greener&quot; arrangement-computers emit little or no carbon even when powered. For those who find it tiring to deal with crowds, there are none in cyberspace, and no lines to wait in during checkout. The magical online domain has no weather to hinder one, either-all shopping is done within a sheltered environment, safe from inclement weather. And there&#39;s no need to worry about keeping one&#39;s children together and in sight when online shopping. But perhaps the best feature of all is the cost savings that can be realized online. Online items can more often that not be purchased and shipped for substantially less, because the price doesn&#39;t include any overhead costs associated with having a physical brick and mortar store. In most cases there is also no sales tax either, unless the merchant maintains some type of physical presence in the state where the item is purchased. For example, Amazon.com only charges sales tax on orders that are shipped to Kansas, North Dakota, New York or Washington, and Overstock.com only charges sales tax on orders that are shipped to Utah. To sweeten the deal, many merchants offer special online coupons, coupon codes and promotional codes that provide additional discounts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;As an example of the money that can be saved when shopping online, I bought a &quot;Cuisinart Prep 11 Plus&quot; food processor and used the online comparison shopping engine at Shopzilla.com to find the best deal, which was at Etronics.com for $172 with no sales tax and free shipping. A local Sears store had it listed at $199.99 and would have charged about $16 in sales tax for a total of $216. In this particular case I saved $44 (20%) shopping online and using Shopzilla to put online stores in competition for my business. And it only took me about 10 minutes of effort. With the advent of cheaper computing and increasing levels of online competition, people are generally becoming used to accessing the world through the eyes of cyberspace. So it is the coming thing, and a tide that is not likely to be turned. We as a society have adapted to other significant changes over time, such as the advent and convenience of air travel, trains and automobiles over horses, and online shopping is yet another paradigm shift we will adapt to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;In summary, when looking at the pros and cons of online shopping, the pros outweigh the cons, especially for items that are widely available and for which the best price is being sought. Shoppers save time and money buying what they need online and virtual store owners can run their businesses on far less overhead. The fact that the pros outweigh the cons is evident when one looks at the sharp increases in online shopping that have occurred on a global basis over the past few years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/feeds/4903290973321990361/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-pros-and-cons-of-online-shopping.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7600258832792598649/posts/default/4903290973321990361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7600258832792598649/posts/default/4903290973321990361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/2022/01/the-pros-and-cons-of-online-shopping.html' title='The Pros and Cons of Online Shopping'/><author><name>asdf4dsf4dsf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02123703073678787537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258832792598649.post-2503325151518357502</id><published>2022-01-20T06:13:00.014-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-20T06:13:57.278-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Which Type of Yoga is Right For Me?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;With the popularity of yoga rising throughout the western world, you have probably heard about it&#39;s healing powers by now.

While they may have a few suggestions, they may be bias in their decision making when it comes to which type of yoga you should choose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Iit is fairly simple to find the right kind of yoga for you. Especially if you have all of the information there is to know about yoga. First and foremost you should try to consider why you are planning on entering the yoga lifestyle. Whether it was suggested to you from your doctor for medical treatment, or if it is a means for you to reconnect with a healthy lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Just remember that you aren&#39;t alone. Many people struggle with trying to find the right yoga class for them. Some can spent years jumping from class to class, type to type, or different yoga teachers before finding the right match. You may find yourself drawn to the names of each yoga class, often times witty and inspiring. However, I would suggest making your decision on more than just the location or name of your yoga class. Instead taking the time to sit down with each of the teachers, and getting a feel for their technique of teaching.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;It may be helpful if you can find a teacher that will allow you to sit in on each type of class. This will give you a first-hand view of what would be expected of you during your yoga class. While some may promote the use of props, and focus on slow and controlled movements. Others may focus on spirituality, or exercise. All of which are beneficial to many different people in their walks of life. However, power-yoga may not be the best choice if you suffer from chronic back pain. For this reason, you should take care in choosing the right type of yoga.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Before we look into the different types of classes and what you can expect you should first remember that as with any exercise program; you should first consult with your doctor. This is especially true if you have any diagnosed health problems that reduce your range of motion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Once you have begun to visit the many different yoga classes available in your area, you will find that there is a common denominator among them all. That of which is that they are focused on bringing oneness to one&#39;s life. A unity between body, mind, and soul. Regardless of the fact that this oneness is all something we hold inside of ourselves on a daily basis. However, most people will find that it can be difficult to reach this place in our own selves without a little help.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Unfortunately there is no real way to answer the question of &quot;what type of yoga is right for me?&quot;. It is more or less an moment of inspiration that you will find enter your mind once you have found the right class. As with so many things in life, yoga is specialized. However there are many different options to choose from. No one yoga class is going to be right for everyone who practices yoga. Just like no one yoga prop or work out wear will be right for one person. Think of it as a &quot;fitting&quot; for your lifestyle. Try your yoga class on for size, if it doesn&#39;t fit your lifestyle, your schedule, or your medical needs; then you should probably try to find something different.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;While it is a common misconception among newcomers to yoga. You don&#39;t need to have a particular religion or belief to practice yoga. Just as you don&#39;t need to be of any one shape, or size to practice yoga. Everyone can and will benefit from the healing nature of yoga. It is even common for families to practice yoga together. If this is your plan, then finding a low-impact yoga will be imperative for younger children. Which will allow all of you to relax while getting healthy together. This of course is one of the many reasons that yoga has become so popular in the western world. As we all fight to keep our lifestyles healthy in a stressful and fast-pace lifestyle. We find that there just isn&#39;t enough time to run from one yoga class to another. Instead finding one class that will fit as a whole with your group of yoga friends, or family will help to keep your schedule relatively un-scathed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The different types of yoga can be fairly difficult to differentiate. However, there are a few key differences that can help you choose which yoga is right for you. Whether you are looking for a high-impact yoga to help you drop pounds quickly; or simply trying to find relief from arthritis, or other chronic pain. There is a yoga that will be the perfect fit for you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Hatha yoga (of which means union) is a term for yoga that employs both physical, and breathing exercise to calm the mind. This is only one of eight branches of traditional yoga, which has been passed down for generations in ancient Indian philosophy. It is thought that this style of yoga can help to attain enlightenment. Among these types of yoga that have stemmed from Hatha, you will find Raga, Mantra, and Tantra. All of which are considered to be philosophical styles of yoga, which are focused on elevating a person&#39;s mental state. It is common for Hatha yoga classes to ask their practitioners to follow a certain dietary conservation as well as ethical codes of living.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;There are several different disciplines that you will find practiced in Hatha yoga. However due to it&#39;s popularity, some classes may even teach a fusion of several different styles of yoga. Including Hatha yoga. Most of these hybrid yoga classes (especially those that include Hatha yoga) are often times the best for beginner yoga practitioners. Simply because they will offer a wider range of poses, breathing, and physical elements. All of which are needed to practice yoga safely and get the most out of your workout.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;While Hatha yoga has increased in popularity within the western world. There are many other kinds that can be found here in the United states alone. Ashtanga Viniyasa is one of the most increasingly popular forms of yoga in the last few years. It is a physical and mentally challenging form of yoga. Of which focuses on the unity between movement and breathing. However, this form of yoga can be fairly taxing and shouldn&#39;t be utilized for anyone with severe medical conditions. If you are a beginner, it is imperative to join a beginners Ashtanga class, so that you are able to learn at your own speed without posing an injury risk to yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Along with Hatha and Ashtanga Viniyasa yoga&#39;s you will find a few other choices to choose from. One of which being Sivananda yoga. Which is based around as little as twelve postures. One such posture sequence includes the sun salutation. Of which focuses on breathing and meditation. This is one of the most well-rounded yoga classes that can be found today. It is especially suitable for all levels of expertise, ages, and physical abilities. Making it one of the most family friendly forms of yoga available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Another popular form of yoga is Viniyoga. Of which is known for it&#39;s personalized touch. Each session of Viniyoga is tailored specially for the individual practitioner and their needs&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://octoposh.net/                              &quot;&gt;https://octoposh.net/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. These classes can vary from as short as fifteen minutes to two to three hours. However it is one of the best one-on-one yoga training that you can find. This is especially wonderful for anyone who might find it difficult to follow an instructor within a large class. This class is particularly well suited for children and those with medical conditions&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://divine-element.com&quot;&gt;https://divine-element.com&lt;/a&gt;. Simply because it is so personal, and allows the trainer to keep your body, health, and physical limitations in mind when creating your routine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The last form of yoga that is commonly practiced in the western world is Iyengar. Which is a slower and more precise means of practicing yoga. It is by far the most practiced yoga throughout the world (spanning not only in the western world). It plays in important role in one&#39;s bodily alignment and posture. This is particularly well suited for those with back-pain or any other severe or chronic pain. This form of yoga is also particularly suitable for seniors, as they practice with many different props to aid in their posture progression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Remember, as with any new workout regiment that you should always know your own body&#39;s limitation. This will help you to choose the right style of yoga class for you. There is no right or wrong answer, simply knowing what you can and cannot handle is key. Regardless of the class, you should become prepared once you have chosen the right type of yoga for you. Your yoga instructor will be able to give you a list of the items you will need, whether it be yoga mats, blocks, blankets, or any other prop. It is best to come prepared!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/feeds/2503325151518357502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/2022/01/which-type-of-yoga-is-right-for-me.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7600258832792598649/posts/default/2503325151518357502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7600258832792598649/posts/default/2503325151518357502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/2022/01/which-type-of-yoga-is-right-for-me.html' title='Which Type of Yoga is Right For Me?'/><author><name>asdf4dsf4dsf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02123703073678787537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258832792598649.post-3809787406791068802</id><published>2022-01-20T06:13:00.011-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-20T06:13:46.526-08:00</updated><title type='text'>3 Blogging Tips For Beginners</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m often asked what I regard to being the best approach to take when starting a blog, so here are what I regard to be the most important 3 blogging tips for beginners to consider before writing a blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Blogging Tips For Beginners: Blog Daily.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The old saying goes &quot;practice makes perfect&quot; and this is certainly the case when you start to write a blog. One thing you need to be aware when you first start out is that, chances are, (if you&#39;re not an already established writer) your first few blogs will not be that great. However the more blogs you write, the better you will become.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;So the first blogging tip for beginners to follow is to blog daily as this will not just improve the overall quality of your blogs, but will also help your them to rank quicker within the search engines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Blogging Tips for Beginners: Be Yourself&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The second blogging tip for beginners to remember it to blog in your own individual style&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;iepika.jp                                      &quot;&gt;iepika.jp&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. There is always the temptation to copy the style of other bloggers that you may enjoy reading, but doing this will result in you failing to make that all important connection with your reader. After all, one of the true keys to successful blogging is to write in your own individual style, using your own unique content. Readers tend to follow blogs because they prefer the more personal style and content that they contain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;re struggling about what to write about, why not write a review about a YouTube video that you enjoyed, or write about a news item that interests you or you could even write about a hobby or interest such as cooking or football, as chances are, there are hundreds of other people who will also share your love of that too. You could even create a blogging tips site to provide an opportunity for others to interact with you on a given topic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Blogging Tips For Beginners: What Are The Best Blogging Sites To Use?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s all very well deciding to start a blog but often the trickiest bit can be deciding how and where to publish your blog especially if you&#39;re a complete &quot;newbie&quot; to blogging.&lt;br /&gt;So what are the best blogging sites for you to use to get started?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The temptation is to use the free blogging sites... after all you can then publish your blogs for free and to be honest there are some great free blogging sites out there that you can use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;However, it is important to remember that free blogging sites make their money from advertisers who pay to promote their products or services on their sites. With this in mind, there is therefore a strong chance that your blog won&#39;t even get read if the reader&#39;s eye is distracted to the advertiser&#39;s promotion instead... resulting in the readers clicking on the advertiser&#39;s website instead of reading your blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;So maybe not a great move for anyone wanting to actually get their blog read, especially if you&#39;re writing blogs to make money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Another downside to using free blogging sites is that you will be restricted with the overall layout of your blog and will not be able to customise it as your own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;So what other alternatives are there?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The best blogging tip that I could offer beginners is to choose a blogging platform that is easy to use and is affordable. Some sites like WordPress offer a cheap and easy way to publish a blog and are extremely popular, but even these sites can sometimes be a little complicated for beginners,especially when it comes to using additional plug ins etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;My advice would be to shop around as there are other&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.createalifestyle.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; style=&quot;color: #a30006;&quot; target=&quot;_new&quot;&gt;low cost blogging&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;platforms that offer businesses and individuals alike, the opportunity to use a high ranking blog that can be customised to your own requirements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Some of these blogs, even offer 100% affiliate commissions for any new members that you also sign up for blogging, so it is well worth looking into these types of blogging opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;So there is what I personally regard as being the 3 most important blogging tips for beginners to follow when starting a blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/feeds/3809787406791068802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/2022/01/3-blogging-tips-for-beginners.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7600258832792598649/posts/default/3809787406791068802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7600258832792598649/posts/default/3809787406791068802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://mdsf54ddf.blogspot.com/2022/01/3-blogging-tips-for-beginners.html' title='3 Blogging Tips For Beginners'/><author><name>asdf4dsf4dsf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02123703073678787537</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7600258832792598649.post-1892786064274389105</id><published>2022-01-20T06:13:00.008-08:00</published><updated>2022-01-20T06:13:37.007-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Blogging and SEO Working for You</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span face=&quot;&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;oogle&#39;s freshness update has created a surge in business website blogging. The update has affected a large percentage of search results, giving companies a real reason to integrate their blog page into their main website&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://kochan-0212.com&quot;&gt;kochan-0212.com&lt;/a&gt;. The update has meant that the first few pages of search results are usually populated with blogs and articles that relate to that specific term; more so than business websites (not including long-tail keyword or local searches).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;As an example, if you were interested in buying an iPhone and searched for an exact term &#39;iPhone&#39; (short-term keyword), the first page of results will be filled with blogs, reviews, news articles and message forum posts relating to that topic&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;menscomplex.net                                       &quot;&gt;menscomplex.net&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. Conversely, if a search is made for &#39;buying an iPhone&#39; (long-tail keyword) or &#39;mobile phone shops in London&#39; (local keyword), the result pages will be populated with business websites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;This article will cover two related topics: how to improve your website&#39;s SEO with blogging and how to improve your blog&#39;s SEO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Your business website&#39;s SEO can be improved by a blog in the following ways:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fresh Content&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;A blog page will provide your site with fresh content. When search engines crawl your website they will notice the frequent updates and new URLs and recognise that this is updated content. The freshness update mentioned earlier will be taken in to consideration when ranking is determined.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Keywords Targeted&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Blogs are a great way of adding additional keywords to your website. When another website links to your blog using these keywords, link juice is passed along with it. This helps your site rank for these keywords and adds to the list of keywords you were already targeting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enhancing Niche Authority&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Blogging about your particular niche builds authority. A blog that gives useful tips and instructions to visitors helps acquire expert status. If a potential customer has a choice between two businesses, they are more likely to choose the one that demonstrates in-depth knowledge through their blog than the one that doesn&#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Going Social&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Blog posts are easily shared on social media. This brings in social signals that assist your website&#39;s search engine rankings. Sharing your own content on social networking platforms increases interaction with users and enhances word-of-mouth marketing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Internal Linking&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Blogs allow you to build internal links into your main website and this passes link authority to your homepage and inner pages. Links can be made from your products/services pages to any relevant blog post and posts can be linked to one another if the subject matter is related. If you have downloadable PDFs or a subscription form on your site, a call-to-action on a blog post that links to these landing pages will not only encourage interaction and increase conversions, but also pass on link juice. Your blog posts could also receive links from other authoritative pages, which would pass authority with them. Internal linking also allows you to use anchor text associated with your chosen keywords. External websites are likely to link to your page with generic anchor text such as &#39;click here&#39; or &#39;read more&#39;, but having internal anchor text that you control allows you to use targeted anchor text when linking your pages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO and Images&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;It is important to SEO any images on your blog. This can be done by the use of the image alt text attribute and correct file naming conventions. The images will then be found via the Google image search and can drive an increased volume of traffic to your website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Natural Linking&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Well written and informative blog posts will generate links naturally. Asking other websites to link to your blog might seem a little pushy, but if people, groups or businesses find your blogs insightful and helpful they are likely to create links under their own steam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trust Building&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Some visitors to your website will know exactly what they want and will immediately engage with your services or products. This means you will require a website that is simple to navigate and quick to convert. Most visitors, on the other hand, may be a little sceptical about your expertise and will want to be convinced before they do business with you. Having a blog on your website is an excellent way to build up trust. By sharing professional experiences or case studies and offering information on your niche topics you can become more personal and instil a degree of confidence. As the content on your blog grows, trust will be established with your visitors, which will increase traffic, popularity and enhance your websites SEO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Below I have listed some points that should be considered in order to ensure that your blog is targeting the right users on the web:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blog Hosted as a Sub Domain&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;By hosting your blog as a sub domain of your main site and not as a separate domain or subdirectory ensures you will reap the best SEO benefits. It is best practise to host your blog with a web address similar to &#39;blog.yourwebsite.com&#39;. This will mean that you have only one site to maintain and the link juice that your blog attracts will benefit the main website as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trending Keywords&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Research trending keywords with Google Trends or any other keyword research tool available on the internet and write a blog about the latest trending subjects in your particular niche.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insert Keywords&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Insert keywords into your blog article in a manner that makes sense and reads correctly. Ensure that you have used correct spelling and grammar. Search engines are very clever determining user-experience and reward blogs that are written with the human user in mind rather than for search engine ranking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Blog titles should contain the target keyword and be no longer than 70 characters. The title is usually incorporated into the blogs URL and is good for the blog&#39;s SEO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Integrating Social Media&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Visitors to your blog are more likely to share your post if social share buttons are clearly visible. Providing social share buttons not only improves usability, but also helps to strengthen the social signals from your site. This in turn, as mentioned earlier, improves your blog&#39;s SEO and result page rankings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interaction on your Blog&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Interaction on your blog can be enhanced by asking questions and inviting opinion at the end. Examples of this could include; What do you think? or Have you experienced this? If your blog is comparing two different items or strategies, ask your visitors which one they prefer. When you are sharing your post on a social media site, ask a question that is related to your blog. Answer any comments that left on your blog and encourage debate. Seek out blogs and forums in your niche and post comments saying that you have blogged on similar subjects. All this will encourage interaction with visitors to your site and signal frequent use to the search engine crawlers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Driving traffic to your website by using a blog is the most natural form of search engine optimisation.

At such times, the owner may choose from the number of platforms that are available like WordPress, Blogger, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;The design of the blog will also have a very important role to play in its performance.

However, these may not be as useful to you as a blog that is hosted on your own platform. The credibility of your blog will increase if it is hosted on your own platform and has your domain name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blog posts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Though blogs are considered to be informal platforms, you should keep your target audience in mind while posting. You should question yourself about who is going to read the blog and on what keywords should your post come up. It will be helpful if you do a little bit of keyword research as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make the blog different&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;There are many blogs that are similar to each other.

Try and avoid similar titles for your posts and keep them simple. Also, make sure that the URL of your blog is also short and simple and does not have any random characters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make the blog interactive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;This can become a daunting task for many new bloggers.

It is important for you to promote the blog as well. You may do this by adding the link of your blog on your Facebook account, in the signature of your email and any other social media profile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Participation on other blogs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;All the industries will have a set of bloggers including the industry that you write about. Ensure that you participate in the discussions on other relevant blogs. By doing this, you will make yourself visible and the other bloggers from the industry will visit your posts and comment on them as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tag your blog posts and insert links&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;If you want people to see your posts, it is important for you to tag them. You can also bookmark them on other bookmarking sites. Similarly, it is also necessary for the performance of your blog that you insert proper links in your posts wherever required. However, this does not mean that you add too many links. It is important to have quality links on your blog so that it performs well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don&#39;t use your blog as a platform for generating income initially&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;It can help to host advertisements on your blog. However, this will not make sense if your blog has ads even before it has generated a considerable amount of traffic. If you have too many ads on your blog when it is new, the readers can get irritated and leave the blog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Track the blog on a regular basis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Just adding posts to your blog will not be of any help if you don&#39;t track it regularly. It is necessary to track the performance of your blog on a regular basis so that you can keep making modifications to it as and when necessary. In order to do this, you can get your blog verified with the Google Webmaster Tool and also use Google Analytics to analyze the data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Though considered to be an informal platform for sharing information, a blog can help a great deal in improving the rankings of your site.

The amount of money spent with online shops is increasing at an outstanding rate due to the convenience, choice and low prices that can be found&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bowtothebee.com/                      &quot;&gt;https://bowtothebee.com/&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;. This is all great but how do you know that you are spending with a reputable website? It is important to understand what safe online shopping is, what to look for and what to avoid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;How is online shopping made safe? Safe online shops use technology that protects the personal information you provide when making a purchase online, your credit card details are &#39;scrambled&#39; so that they cannot be captured by &quot;identity thieves&quot; who aim to capture credit card or bank account details in order buy goods or get loans in your name. Scrambling this personal information means that it cannot be read or captured by anyone else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;How can I tell if the online shop I am shopping on is safe? To ensure that the online shop where you are shopping is safe you should check for the following:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;An unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cam-guru.com&quot;&gt;https://www.cam-guru.com&lt;/a&gt;. Each of these icons show that the online shop is safe. If the key is broken or the lock open the online shop is not safe. Check that the online shop website address begins with &quot;https&quot; instead of &quot;http&quot; when you are providing personal information, such as credit card details. This shows that you are in a secure area of the online shop. If you see the words &quot;Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)&quot;, sometimes in a pop-up window, you know you are shopping at a secure and safe online shop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;How well do I know the brand of the online shop? Another thing to consider is how well you know the brand that runs the online shop? The chances are you will be more confident of shopping at Amazon than many other online brands because they are well established and have a reputation for good customer service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;How quickly will I get my goods? It is well worth delving into the online shop&#39;s customer service section to find out when and how your goods will be delivered. Does the online shop allow you to specify delivery dates and times or an alternative delivery address.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Does the online shop offer me a contact number in case anything goes wrong? If anything does go wrong with your order it is good to have a direct customer service telephone number to call to express your concerns, if not, many online shops provide a customer service email with a guaranteed response time so you can air your queries about your order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Arial, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Does the online shop make all charges involved clear? During the sale the online shop should explicitly advise you of all charges involved in the purchase including delivery charges, taxation and minimum purchase limits.
