Hi,
Michael here. Welcome to the latest issue of "e-BizResources Update". I hope you're well.
We're already well into the second half of 2005! It's hard to believe isn't it? I hope you're having a good year.
Well, I actually survived my kids' two week mid-year vacation (we call 'em 'school holidays'). Only joking, it was actually pretty good, but I've been back in the 'normal' routine now for a week.
Things can change pretty quickly on the web, and both the articles in this issue relate to changing technology.
RSS technology has been around for a while now. For some it's very familiar territory, for others it's a bit of a mystery. But today's first guest article hhighlights some of the benefits of using RSS in your marketing.
The second guest article looks at the possibility of you being a 'media mogul' with your own online 'TV' station. And of course this is only possible now because of high speed internet connections, e.g. broadband.
I hope you can get a few useful ideas today, and encourage you to take advantage of some of the special deals mentioned.

How To Use RSS Feeds In Your Marketing.
By Dr.Mani Sivasubramanian
It was Friday night. I finished reading a book about RSS feeds. Quickly set up one for my site, submitted it on directories and went to bed.
Sunday morning, I noticed a sale. Idly, I scanned my logs to see where the buyer had found me.
It was from Yahoo! Now that may not seem surprising, except... I had not been listed in Yahoo! before.
Curious, I did a Yahoo! Search for my domain name... and almost fainted in shock! There were 123 of my pages listed - many of them in the top 10 ranks on my best keywords.
My RSS feed had been listed within 48 hours - and since my other pages were linked from it, they had all been indexed by Yahoo! just as quickly. And for free!
Since then I have heard many others share similar experiences. It is no fluke. RSS is H-O-T. And search engines LOVE it.
So what is RSS? An acronym for Really Simple Syndication, it is a web language format designed to help syndicate content across different sources.
RSS has been around for more than 10 years but has only recently become popular. RSS feeds provide headlines and summaries of information in a concise and standardized way.
The rise in RSS popularity, specially among marketers, has many reasons. Email filters and new legislation have lowered the effectiveness of email marketing. Content syndication in many different ways is gathering momentum. And fresh, frequently updated content is the very essence of the Web.
How can you use RSS feeds in your marketing? Is there a way to turn RSS feeds into profits?
Absolutely. Here are some ideas:
1. Beat email filters. Ask your subscribers, prospects and clients to sign up to your RSS feed along with your email newsletter. If the ezine gets blocked, they'll still get your RSS feed.
2. Spread the word. Offer your new, valuable content to many other 'lazy' website owners - in return for getting extra exposure of your name and brand to their audiences.
3. Get listed on search engines. No one knows how long this 'honeymoon' will last. But ride the wave - and get into search engines quickly, inexpensively - by submitting your RSS feeds to them.
4. Use the first-mover advantage. Dedicated RSS directories are mushrooming. Make sure your RSS feed is indexed in them and you could future-proof your business. Imagine if you were one of the first sites to be indexed in Google or Yahoo 5 years ago!
5. Offer your readers new content. Keep creating your own content - but also use RSS feed syndication to offer other people's content to your list. Less pain, less strain, more gain.
And that's not all. On a bet, I sat down and listed 41 different ideas to profit from RSS feeds. I'm sure you can do it too - and turn the hot new revolution in online communication into a money magnet for your ebusiness.
Happy blogging.

5. The Lighter Side of life #1
Just wanted to share a few pearls of wisdom that I read recently.
* Before attempting to remove stubborn stains from a garment, always circle the stain in permanent marker pen so that when you remove the garment from the washing machine you can easily locate the area of the stain and check that it is gone.
* Olympic Athletes. Conceal the fact that you've taken performance-enhancing drugs by simply running a little bit slower and letting someone else win.
* If you feed bees oranges, do they make orange marmalade instead of honey?
* A set mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep.

Create Your Own Online Marketing "TV" Station.

It will happen!
TV and the Internet will eventually merge into one giant multi-media "melting pot" that includes everything from live footage and old reruns to garage videos posted by your next door neighbor’s kid.
Just like cable TV fractured network TV, the Internet will enable everyone with a voice, a video camera, and something to say to fracture cable TV even more.
But the real TV revolution on the Internet will only happen when marketers stop trying to copy TV, with its commercials and outdated modes of revenue generation, and start copying the "pay-per-view" and "infomercial" models.
One company at www.TVexe.com has started offering television broadcasts from around the world via Internet streaming.
The free software (with optional one-time $25 upgrade) allows you to stream TV feeds from around the world to your desktop through a broadband connection.
The picture rates a "C+" on the quality side, but, just like Internet telephony 6 years ago, you can expect the quality to improve quickly.
If they can keep costs down long enough to figure out how to make money, this company will likely succeed because they provide programming that’s virtually impossible to get anywhere else.
But, for the rest of us "mortals" who want to stream our images, video, and audio across the Web, trying to provide "live TV" broadcasts spells the kiss of death in both time and money.
For the vast majority of companies doing business online, it will prove virtually impossible to get a meaningful number of people to show up to a website at "8:00 P.M. Eastern" for tonight’s live "TV" broadcast.
But what will work online is adopting the "pay-per-view" model found in hotels where you watch the program you want, when you want. Offering website visitors video content they can download, start, stop, play, pause, and view on their own schedule holds the key to online "TV" success.
I hate to make this overly simplistic, but bottom line: an effective online "TV Station" only needs a basic website and the ability to allow "viewers" to download or stream video files.
All of us get two basic options when it comes to creating content to deliver from our "TV Station" website.
First, you can do "screen capture" video, which combines video of the action taking place on your computer screen with your voice as narration, to create excellent
instructional content.
You then allow viewers to download this "TV program" from your website either free or for a free.
Two programs enable you to do this quickly and easily:
"Screen Cam Generator" from http://www.ScreenCamSoftware.com
and "Camtasia" from http://www.TechSmith.com.
Your second option involves using full-motion video, either from a web-cam or a camcorder.
The content most easily gets published online either as a WMV file (Windows Media Video) played with Microsoft’s Media Player, or FLV file (Flash Video) played with the free Flash "plug-in" found in most Web browsers.
Regardless of which option you choose, remember: unlike traditional TV, successful models of "TV-style" content online will empower the viewer to watch when and where they choose.
