How To Let The Subconscious Mind Do The Creative Work
How To Let The Subconscious Mind Do The Creative Work
From time immemorial mankind has wished for an Aladin's lamp,
which would make wisheds come true.The closest thing to this magic lamp is the subconscious mind.
The "genii" of the subconsious mind
will work for you if you follow a certain process.How can we trap the subconscious mind
into a great deal of our creative work for us.Here are eight tested ways.1. Give yourself a motive.The subconscious mind works at its creative best
when you have a purpose.2. Make a date with your subconscious mind.Prod it with definite orders as to what you want,
but don't tell it what methods to use.Let it use its own methods.Example : "Genii, at 2 p.m. tomorrow,
I want you to tell me just how I am going to sell 3000 crates
of oranges to hard boiled Mr. Mack."
It will help the genii if you have obligingly
collected on cards all the pertinent information about Mr. Mack likes,
dislikes and hobbies.
This will make it easier for the genii to figure out the best approach.3. Always keep a pad and pencil at your bedside.You never can tell when the subconscious mind
will suddenly come up with an idea.
When it does, write it down.
Always carry a small notebook or pad with you.4. Write every idea down.When you first get an idea,
don't try to figure out whether it's good or bad.
Write it down.
"The faintest ink is better then the best memory."
This is particularly true of creative ideas.5. Don't be critical of your ideas too soon.You have a problem that can't be solved by cold logic.
It needs the spark of imagination.
But the moment your subconscious mind tries to throw out a spark,
your conscious mind says :
"That idea is a lemon. It will never work."In the early stages of the creative game,
the conscious mind must be told to shut up.
Nothing will cause the genii to scamper away
so much as being told by the conscious mind
that their ideas are worthless.6. When stymied, stop for a while.Of course, most creative problems can't be solved overnight.
After you had a creative session with yourself,
it's usually best to stop trying to think up any more ideas.
This stage is called the incubation.7. Keep yourself motivated.Whenever you have temporarily abandoned
seeking an answer to a problem,
the uncounscious mind should have its orders :
"This is important to me.
Don't give up the ship.
Keep on working on this idea while I sleep and rest."8. When the heat of creation is goneput your work aside for later evaluation.Just as a period of conscious thinking and gathering facts
usually precedes a creative idea,
so a period of conscious thinking should eventually follow it.
This is the period of evaluation.Creativeness is wonderfull.
But it is only half the battle.
The other half is evaluating your idea
or hearing another's opinion of it.Sometimes an honest opinion may spark a new idea.Fernando Soave

What is Pay Per Call? How does it work? – Internet-Marketing
What is Pay Per Call? How does it work?
Pay Per Call is the next wave of advertising on the Internet. Similar to a Pay?Per?Click advertising. Pay Per Call has a lot more to offer and a wider audience in mind. The Pay-Per Call (PP-Call) is geared towards small businesses that do not have a web presence on the internet. However, this form of advertising can be used by all types of business or services offered on the net.Advertisers create an ad similar to a Pay-Per-Click (PP-Click) ad. Advertisers choose key terms in which they would like to appear under. They also choose their geographical location (local, regional or national) Pricing starts at $2 and can exceed $20. The ad itself consists of a headline and 2 additional lines of text, (including a URL if the company has one). Surfers then call the toll free number shown in the ad. After the surfer calls the number, the call is forwarded to the actual business phone. Seems pretty basic doesn't it? But, I had a few questions I needed answered so I contacted Ingenio and spoke to them about their service.My first question regarded calls placed after business hours. If my business phones are manned Monday ? Friday, 9 to 5, will calls still come in after 5pm on Friday? The answer is that currently there is no automated scheduling that will turn your ads on or off at a specified time. However, you can go in manually and pause your account so that your ads are not shown during non-business hours. The automated scheduling is in the process of being implemented but there is currently no set date for this to take effect. Of course, you can place your business hours in the ad as well but this may take up valuable space that could be better utilized describing products or services. Businesses that have a call center for after hours calls are effectively 24 hour businesses, so this should not be an issue for them.My next question concerned wrong numbers and short calls. We have all done it. We see one number and dial another. Or, we see something and on impulse we reach for the phone, and then change our mind ten seconds after dialing. So, does the advertiser pay for these types of calls? Is there a time limit a person needs to be on the phone for? There answer is yes. The calls need to last at least ten seconds. This should be more than enough time to establish that a wrong number as been dialed. I also wondered about people trying to beat the system. The trouble with PP-Click is that people may dial and occupy a salesperson with no intent other than to try and boost their revenue off the ads placed on their site. Ingenio has taken this into account. They can track calls that come in through their system. Any numbers seen abusing it can be blocked. Hopefully, this will discourage any type of scam to boost profits on sites that sponsors these ads.I was also interested to know about ads that did provide a URL. Was there an additional charge levied when someone clicked on the ad? Fortunately, there is not. If a business sells over the net as well, they could certainly use this to their advantage. Of course, one of the main advantages to this type of advertising is that it caters to potential customers that do not, for whatever reason, like to make purchases online. Overall PP-Call may be worth its weight in gold. At least the potential is there. Will it surpass PP-Click as far as the preferred method of advertising? Probably, not. It does however give advertises who couldn't advertise on the net before a reason to start. Maybe then they will see the importance of having a web presence on the Internet.Visit Joe's blog http://mr-seo.blogspot.com/ to learn more about SEO.
