Once you have a product online you need to protect it from thieves. Just as you would lock up your house when you go out you need to lock up your products safely.
And remember the products are out there in the open space, 24/7 for anybody to access.
Most often you find the thieves buying the products from you and then asking for refund the same day. They download the product and pass it on to others too.
How do you get a control over all these?
Russell Brunson has launched a new product called Digital Repo. Check out the features at this site.
For just $1 you can get a seven-day trial. If you find the product useful you can continue to keep it by paying under $20 per month.
Watch a video about how to use this software.
If you have any questions contact my help desk.
If you do not have any of your own products to sell. Don't worry. Russell is giving away 15 of his own products as bonus. You can sell them. But remember to lock them up with Repo Man.

Software For Your Kids
GOOGLE ADSENSE Computers are all the rage today for people of all ages including children. There are many different types of software that you can choose from when it comes to picking something for your children to enjoy on the computer. Depending on the age bracket of your children you�ll have to take some time to choose software that does what you want it to do.
For the younger child aged three to five there is software that features some of their favorite television characters such as Dora the Explorer or Bob the Builder. Your children will be both entertained and educated as they play games, learn the alphabet, and learn to count. Software for very young children is easy for them to play so that you�re not always coming to their assistance whenever they press a wrong key.
Software for older children aged five to ten has even more interactive features than software for the younger child. You can buy software that is exclusively for learning and software that will only provide entertainment. Most software comes with a rating to let you know that it doesn�t contain any material that is inappropriate for children. Some types of software for this age group of children include puzzle games, software for learning a second language, math and science software, video game software, software for the artist, and software that allows your child to connect with the internet and play games with other children around the world.
GOOGLE ADSENSE Software for teens is something that you�ll need to supervise a little more closely since much of the software on the market can be objectionable and will often test the morals and virtues that you are trying to teach your children. When you buy software for your teen make sure that you take a good long look at what the software is all about, since many of the software games can feature a large amount of violence. There are, of course, software programs for your teen that are educational as well as fun and that they can use to enhance their schoolwork.
With so many different software choices out there how do you know that you�re making the right choices? Check out some of the parental listings that can be found on the internet. Many parent websites will offer you advice and ratings for much of the new software that comes out each month. This way you can be assured that other parents are approving a certain piece of software before you make your purchase.
Keep in mind that you should always limit the amount of time that your children spend on the computer. Children should be encouraged to spend just as much time playing outdoors as they do playing and learning on the computer.

Advanced file manager for advanced computer users, software developers and IT professionals
Advanced file manager for advanced computer users, software developers and IT professionals.
WinFrigate is a new breed of file managers that is more of a command center, rather then a simple “file copying and renaming automation utility”. The first important distinction is that it comes with functional modules that can be plugged in or disabled. In particular, the program has built-in file viewers (DBF, RTF, HTML, DOC, Excel, Hex), smart assistant utilities (TreeNotes, StartUp Manager, Calculator, SmartPad, Directory Size Manager), file navigation options (Favorites, Bookmarks, Quick View), mp3 tag editor, image viewer and editor, and internal compression agent (Zip, Arj, Rar, Ace, Jar, Ha, Lha and four other formats). This newer, updated version now features option to view psd, pds and Access files, CD-burner plug-in, Memo/Image field editor for DBF files and a few other performance enhancements.
The program features own text editor with syntax support for most popular programming and scripting languages, like C, C++, Perl, Java, Pascal, VBScript, Bat, HTML, XML and others. Plus, there is a method navigator feature that can instantly find a desired function or procedure. Other developer-friendly options are HTML support system and export in HTML and RTF with color highlighting.
There also are a built-in FTP client, network support, file/folder synchronization options, task scheduler, image converter, file search engine, offline browser, recent file actions history feature and much more. And yes, there are multiple automation and batch processing options for common file operations (copying, moving, deleting, re-naming), including an option to schedule them.
Best of all, the program features a clean and simple interface, free of any extraneous features. The plug-in module program architecture allows users to have access to a wealth of file managing options, without cluttering their computer screen with countless windows. To access a module, users only have to click an appropriate tab. All windows can be minimized. And while the program targets advanced computer users, the learning curve for it is rather low.
WinFrigate is distributed electronically over the Internet; free demo version is available at http://www.frigate3.com/ for evaluation.
The price of a single copy is 24.50 US Dollars for the regular version and 39.90 for the WinFrigate Professional.
Helmsman is a small independent software developing company specializing in corporate and consumer oriented file management products. The company was founded in 1997 and is well known among the industry professionals for its flagship product WinFrigate.
If you have any questions, would like to request editor’s copy, want to inquire about special prices for volume buyers/software resellers, or have a business proposal, please contact Alexander Buzaev at Buzaev@sbank.ru

For example a kid's toy shop wants to sell a new barbie doll and a new set of clothes for barbie. They send a mail only to those customers who have bought a barbie from them and those who have shown an interest in collecting different barbies.
Or they can have two lists: One, a special offer for those who have already bought barbies. Second, an introductory offer to those who have never bought a barbie doll but have bought other toys for kids.
A sporting goods company has a web site and announces special offers on Golf equipments. People sign up and receive the special offers. Customers are also give a choice to receive offers through email or other methods. Then the company can use their database marketing info to prepare different lists.
Customers who have already purchased once and prefer email offers.
Customers who have already purchased once and singed up for newsletters. They do not prefer direct mail offers.
Customers who have searched for products but not made any purchase. They have indicated their preference to get offers through email contacts.
Customers who are only interested in golf clubs and offers related to them.

Electronic Medical Record
GOOGLE ADSENSE Electronic Medical Record or EMR has made life easy for the doctors and patients. Though it is not being used in all places yet, it is soon catching up.
Nobody needs to be convinced of the advantages of having all records related to patients available at a click. What used to be stored with thousands of bits of paper in innumerable files can be stored on a computer in a searchable data base form.
The management of medical transcription, medicare billing , cpt codes, and other medical records through electronic means can improve the quality of health care and the security of the records.
Often patients and their family members find it difficult to get the most needed information at times of emergency and doctors fear rushing into treatment without a careful study of the past history of the patient. Electronic medical records can be a life saver for patients and they can get the most suitable treatment immediately.
GOOGLE ADSENSE Electronic medical records usually have structured formatted sections and free sections where doctors can supply the input related to the patient's symptoms and treatment.
The usual sections may be the name, age and background details of the person and medical history. Blood group, past treatments and allergies, if any, are usually included.
There are some sections that allow for free writing. In these sections the doctors record their observations, treatment and conclusions.
There are also structured sections that can be easily filled in by selecting the appropriate options in check boxes or from a drop down list.
The advantages of electronic medical records are many. The very basic advantage is that it is legibile and even the patient can read it easily unlike a doctor's prescription which only the chemist can read.
The electronic medical record saves hours of processing time by its very nature of being organized and neatly presentated in a searchable form. The data can be edited without any problems.
The charts, graphs, the 2DEcho etc. can be presented very well in an electronic medical record.
Other than the usefulness for the patients and the doctors treating them, the records can be invaluable for research purposes and medical advancement.

Converting Your Wedding Videos To DVD
Technology marches ever onward and, as it does, it carries us right along with it. In the early 1980’s, as VCR’s dropped in price and appeared in more and more homes, there was a sudden mass appeal for people to have their old Super 8 home movies converted to video cassette. Video tapes last far longer than film and it just made sense to convert those old reels into a more watchable and compact format. People brought their movies of their baby’s first steps, birthday parties, and weddings and turned them into video tapes. Not long after that, video cameras became cost effective for people to buy and those old super 8 cameras and projectors went the way of the dodo. People began using video tape for everything and the wedding video was born.
Technology has shifted yet again, folks. You may have noticed less and less video tapes at your local Blockbuster store. The medium is becoming extinct, replaced by DVD. Guess what? It’s time to convert yet again. DVD discs last far longer than video tape, offer higher quality picture and sound, and can run longer than video cassettes. By converting your wedding videos to DVD you can ensure that the memories you saved will last even longer.
GOOGLE ADSENSE The process of converting your wedding video to DVD is not complicated, but to do it yourself you will need some special equipment. Obviously you’ll need a DVD recording device and a way for your VCR to connect to it. If you have a DVD burner on your computer, you’re halfway there. You will also need a way for your VCR to interface with your computer. Most computers do not come shipped with a way to do this. You’ll need to install a TV card on your computer that has inputs that match your VCR’s outputs. Most TV cards do have both RF and A/V inputs.
Next you’ll need to record the wedding video onto the computer’s hard drive. You may need special software to do this if your TV card didn’t come with any bundled. Sony’s Vegas Video is a good one, but there are a number of different titles available. Keep in mind that the video will take up a lot of drive space. In order GOOGLE ADSENSE for the video to be placed on DVD it will have to be in an MPEG format. Your video recording software should be able to save it this way. Once that is done, it’s simply a matter of using your DVD burning software to transfer the video onto a DVD disc that you can then watch on any DVD player. The software will have instructions for doing this. Once the process (which can take some time, be warned) is complete, viola! Your wedding video is now on DVD and can be enjoyed forever.
If you don’t have or can’t afford the equipment and software to follow the preceding steps, fear not. There are companies that can take away all of the hassle and transfer your wedding videos to DVD for you, for a price. Whichever method you choose will have the same end result and you’ll be enjoying your old wedding videos and other home movies on a new format that’s built to last.

3 Reasons Why Medical Billing Software is Leading the Way
Since technology changes so quickly, it is hard to begin by saying “in the old days . . . ,” but that seems to fit the best. In the old days, medical companies, service providers, and almost any other business which used automated billing enjoyed the convenience of logging on to a database (or several, they the company had multiple offices) and processing their billing statements. This “old way” required IT and servers, and is actually still the current way for most businesses.
Somewhere along the way, medical billing software was developed to process billing without logging on to multiple databases, without having IT, and without crowding the server. This medical billing software is not only cutting edge, but it is also a miracle because it comes without a large set-up and usage expense. Soon, all companies will be marching to the beat of the new medical billing software drummer.
Let’s explore the differences between the “old way” and the new by looking at the 3 reasons why medical billing software is leading the way in corporate software.
GOOGLE ADSENSE Connection
The “old way” was convenient for its time, but that time may soon be gone. It consisted of a different database for each office, which meant that if your business had 3 offices, you would have had to log on to 3 different databases to process your billing statements and close at the end of each day.
Using only a broadband connection, “the new” way connects you to an unlimited number of databases at once, allowing you to manage all of your accounts with clients, providers, etc., all in one connection.
In addition, with the same technology now available with medical billing software, you can connect to a secure server from anywhere with a broadband internet connection. You can work from home, the hotel, or anywhere else on a secure account that can only be accessed by those whom you authorize.
Capacity
The “old way” was to have separate applications for every function your business needed to perform. For example, records of clients, customers, providers, or patients, would each be kept in separate files in multiple databases. Then, to track appointments and schedules, your business would probably have had to open a whole new application.
Now medical billing software has one system for all of the functions your business needs to perform, not just to process medical billing statements. Log on; track your provider records and schedules, your client records and schedules, and your own financial records and schedules, all in one place.
GOOGLE ADSENSE Security
The question that runs through the minds of every thoughtful business when a new technology that claims to guard so many important and sensitive documents is, “Is this secure software?”
The answer is “yes,” because this advanced medical billing software backs-up, protects, and secures all data on HIPAA-compliant servers, which are accessible only to those whom you authorize.
New medical billing software is also a pioneer in financial security because the software does not require large start-up costs; it is billed the same way it is used: month to month.
Businesses can benefit from the technology medical billing software now has to offer. It has been said that the greatest breakthroughs come at the intersection of two different disciplines. Medical billing software has made a breakthrough in combining business skills with medical practice and providing medical billing software that not only meets medical billing needs but also provides a template for software that any business could benefit from.

One important step in finding the perfect chiropractic billing software program to fit your needs is to take a look at your existing computer equipment. With system needs changing on a virtually daily basis, it is necessary that the software program you choose be compatible with your hardware. You also have the option of upgrading your system if it is not currently compatible with the software option you choose.
Giving a rough estimate, there are approximately 30 different vendors that deal in chiropractic billing software. Prices can range from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. While cost is certainly a consideration, assuring that you get the best quality software to meet your needs should be the primary consideration. Many new chiropractors, fresh out-of-school may decide to go with a discount software solution in order to save costs. Experts in the field suggest that skimping on costs in the beginning can cause a huge headache in the future. It is often a lot of trouble and work to change over systems; not to mention that your files will temporarily be on hold while the change occurs. A good word of advice is to thoroughly examine your needs and then choose the appropriate chiropractic billing software program for your practice – base your decision on need, not cost.
GOOGLE ADSENSE Chiropractic billing software can be a godsend for many practices. Not only will you save valuable space from limiting your need for paper files, your office staff will also be able to retrieve important medical information in a virtual instant. Most offices claim that the best aspect of the electronic billing software is the ability to instantly file insurance claims. This is an excellent way to reduce the cost of office staff and postage. Many of these billing software programs also have a built-in clearinghouse feature to enable the business manager to track and locate any outstanding claims.
Those using some of the more advanced chiropractic billing software programs are able to perform a wide variety of tasks that, in the past, could have taken hours or even days. Some programs allow the administrator to submit claims on a patient to multiple insurance companies. Other programs make billing less complicated when dealing with HCFA, Worker’s Compensation and Medicare: these programs have the necessary forms built into the program and are easily accessed. It is obvious that there is a plethora of variances in software; the key is to know what you need in a program and search for one that closely resembles your needs.

An Introduction to Recruiting Software
GOOGLE ADSENSE There has been a lot of talk in recent years about recruiting software. Recruiting software helps companies find suitable employees, and works in a number of ways. It can manage the employment section of a company’s website, keep track of any company responses to applicants, and help organize all information on potential employees in a comprehensive database.
A major function of recruiting software programs is that they can make use of the employment part of a company’s website. The software can make a list of jobs available with the company. Web surfers can click on jobs they are interested in and immediately be taken to a description of the job. The software can also be used to create electronic applications that can be completed and submitted on the Internet.
Another function of recruiting software is to keep track of any company responses to the applicants. The software allows users to create custom letters acknowledging that the company received the applicant’s resume, interview requests and appointment reminders, among others.
GOOGLE ADSENSE Recruiting software is perfect for creating an applicant database. This function lets users keep track of the people who have applied for positions within the company. The database stores information on people who have completed an application or submitted a resume. Many programs assign ID numbers to applicants, making it easier to keep track of the applicants. The software can also be used to check if an applicant has previously applied to work for the company. Recruiting software applicant databases are also able to keep track of what sources the applicants came from, allowing the company to see how its various recruitment tools are working. This lets the company know if newspaper ads, websites, employment agencies, or other sources are supplying a stream of qualified applicants.
Recruiting software can be expensive and complicated, but it usually saves company money in the long run, and the organizational aspects of the software make hiring new employees much easier.

ISO 9000 Software Products
For most companies, adhering to the strict regulations regarding document management and implementation of ISO 9000 standards can be a monotonous task. Luckily, since ISO 9000 was first developed almost 20 years ago, a variety of ISO 9000 software products are now available for purchase.
ISO 9000 software is available to suit any business’ needs. Whether it is a large or small company, a software program can be selected from over 300 products to meet the specific requirements of the quality process. Prices range from a couple hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars depending on the resources needed. Even a small start-up company can afford some of the options, and ISO 9000 software solutions can make it easier to implement quality procedures.
On the lower end of the price spectrum is 3C Technologies’ Rapid Start Up Kit. Prices for this program begin at around $145 and include all of the features that are currently available for ISO 9000 software. This program is only compatible with Windows operating systems. A few of the areas in which the program can manage are quality control documents, training, contract review and product identification. This is an ideal program for small or start-up businesses that need assistance in complying with ISO 9000 regulations.
GOOGLE ADSENSE One example of ISO 9000 software designed for medium-sized businesses is designed by Advanced Technologies. This product begins at $395 and is perfect for businesses ready to take the next step in quality control management. Like other programs, it offers a wide range of solutions for the management process. Process control, testing and inspection, and corrective and preventative management represent only a few of the areas covered.
For larger corporations and those with advanced needs, a more expensive and thorough program should be considered. Blue Mountain software is one ISO 9000 software management system for large companies. With prices beginning at $1500, the cost may be a little steep for small businesses. This program is designed as a calibration manager and has been praised as an asset in maintaining the rigid standards of ISO 9000 certification.
Competition among businesses is fierce. ISO 9000 certification can give your company an advantage of the competition because customers know they can expect a high level of service from both the company and the products. The standards set forth for ISO 9000 certification and management thereof can become overwhelming and daunting tasks. Reviewing and purchasing a comprehensive ISO 9000 software program can make the process of implementing and managing your quality processes much easier.

Discount software - secrets revealed
What's the catch with discount software? Is it a scam? How come you can buy a popular software title having up to 20% discount of the initial price?
There are several popular titles, and I'm talking about all sorts of titles, that are used by millions of persons, around the Globe. A few months ago, anti-spy utilities were very popular. Everywhere you looked, there was a banner for an anti-spy tool. Then, everybody's computers began to run slower, because suddenly, everybody wanted to optimize Windows registries and file system. SpeedUpMyPC and Registry Mechanic are only two of the available titles that can do this kind of jobs.
Today, we are bombarded with DVD ripping technologies. Products like dvdSanta, DVD Ripper or Xilisoft DVD Ripper are all over the net. I am pretty sure they are very good, because millions bought them.
There are several ways you can buy software:
* Click on the "order now" or "buy now" buttons within the applications.
* Follow the links from the help files.
* Search for the order pages on the product website.
* Take one of the discount offers from a software archive.
Most of the vendors encourage software archives. As you know, a software archive is a collection of freeware and shareware, games and utilities and many other categories. If one program has a free-to-try version or a demo, you can download it from there. You can also buy it directly from the archive.
GOOGLE ADSENSE Not many software archives offer discounts, because they reduce the revenue per unit sold. The affiliate (software archive) has a 10- 40% commission on every sale. If he reduces the price with 5 % on his website, then his profit is 5 - 35%. Then he has to rely on quantity to raise profit, because his profit per unit is decreased. The most common situation is the "fifty-fifty deal": the affiliate site offers a discount equal to half the commission. So, if the commission is 40%, the software archive keeps 20%, and the buyer keeps 20%.
Actually, this is a win-win-win situation. The buyer is happy because he saves 20% of the product price. The vendor is happy because every sold unit means more money to him, and more possibilities to improve his business. And, of course, the affiliate is satisfied because he has some profit, and a happy customer is a returning customer that might buy something else.
You just have to be careful when buying software online. Don't purchase from strange looking sites. Don't follow "amazing deals" that offer over 50% discount. I am not familiar with any vendor that would give away more than 50% of the price to a reseller, and you have to keep in mind that the affiliate has to earn something too, or the commission would have to be even higher!
I recommend CoreDownload http://www.coredownload.com/ , a software archive with all the popular titles and up to 20% discount of initial prices.

15 Questions to ask your software vendor
GOOGLE ADSENSE When making a decision to buy any piece of software there are a number of criteria typically evaluated. One of the most important elements in the decision process is the strength of the company that builds the software. In fact a survey of 19,000 customers has identified that company strength is the most important factor in choosing software, with the price of the software being the fifth most important element.
In evaluating a company's strength I would suggest you ask the following 15 questions, the answers to which will provide invaluable information in determining the viability of the company, their processes and their commitment to the product you are reviewing.
1.How long have you been in business?
2.When was you last upgrade released? When is the next one planned?
3.What's involved in doing an upgrade?
a.Can your customer's do it?
b.Are upgrades included in your annual fee?
c.Are they downloadable from your website?
d.Is documentation (installation instructions etc) included with the upgrades?
4.Are manuals available for the software?
5.Does the software update cost include phone based tech support?
6.What percentage of customers are current with their annual support contract?
7.Where is the product heading? Technology/Functionality? When do you plan to get their?
8.When did you last put your prices up?
9.Are you planning for the next realease of Windows yet?
10.Can i build my own reports?
11.Why did you choose your current development platform?
12.What does it cost to have someone come onsite a fix a problem?
13.Who does the training, are there scheduled courses?
14.Can i talk to a customer who implemented in the last 6 months?
15.How much have you spent on research and development in the last 12 months?
Importantly there is no right or wrong answer to these questions, and the answers may vary greatly from one vendor to another. There are however some answers that should throw up a red flag:
GOOGLE ADSENSE Question 6 - This is generally a good guage of customer satisfaction. If the vendor can not provide this information, or is not willing to do so then you can anticipate a support issue or poor customer satisfaction with the product.
Question 10 - You should always have the ability to get to your own data. If you require a programmer to build new reports then you will consistently be biting into your ROI.
Question 14 - If the vendor skirts around this issue then they are uncomfortable letting you talk to a recent customer and therefore maybe hiding something from you, perhaps a difficiency in their product or in their implementation process.
Question 15 - The answer to this question identifies how 'productised' the software is. A vendor who regularly evaluates their customer's future requirements and spends money on building these into their product is committed to it's current customers. A vendor who spends money only 'as required' is probably not so committed to building a great product as they are to getting sales.
When getting answers to these questions please also consider that their may be legitmate commercial reasons as to why a question can not be answered, however at a bear minimum your vendor should be able to provide some background into their reasons for not answering.
There are another four important criteria upon which any experienced buyer will evaluate a software purchase which will be covered in future articles.

GOOGLE ADSENSE Question 6 - This is generally a good guage of customer satisfaction. If the vendor can not provide this information, or is not willing to do so then you can anticipate a support issue or poor customer satisfaction with the product.
Question 10 - You should always have the ability to get to your own data. If you require a programmer to build new reports then you will consistently be biting into your ROI.
Question 14 - If the vendor skirts around this issue then they are uncomfortable letting you talk to a recent customer and therefore maybe hiding something from you, perhaps a difficiency in their product or in their implementation process.
Question 15 - The answer to this question identifies how 'productised' the software is. A vendor who regularly evaluates their customer's future requirements and spends money on building these into their product is committed to it's current customers. A vendor who spends money only 'as required' is probably not so committed to building a great product as they are to getting sales.
When getting answers to these questions please also consider that their may be legitmate commercial reasons as to why a question can not be answered, however at a bear minimum your vendor should be able to provide some background into their reasons for not answering.
There are another four important criteria upon which any experienced buyer will evaluate a software purchase which will be covered in future articles.
