5 Productivity Ideas For Mobile Marketing Success

Success in mobile marketing requires not just expertise in your niche but also other traits some people ignore. For instance, confidence can endear you to clients. Getting your affairs organized will make you more productive. In addition, your networking skills can land you top-self mobile marketing clients. Here are five other factors you need to know.

1. Single-handling.

Stick to a project until it's 100% complete. It is never advisable to switch tasks in the middle. When something comes to your mind jot it down and refer to it later. This is an effective way doing it instead of making phone calls or Facebook posts in the middle of writing an article or email.

2. Perfection threshold.

Perfectionism is one of the factors that inhabit productivity. Write an article that looks insane. You build momentum and you can actually see how fast you write when you are not worried about anybody.

With a bad first draft you can now, with the same momentum, do a second better draft. The subsequent drafts will, keep improving. If you do this habitually you will improve your speed faster each time.

3. The 30 day habit law.

To be more productive, you need to form habits that increase your efficiency, save time and make you focused. If you currently don't write your following day's goals the previous day, try it for 30 days. If your working hours are erratic, try sitting on your desk the same time daily for 30 days. If you work with distraction, try sitting down for a minimum of 60 minutes working in this block of time each day.

There are many efficiency enhancing habits you need to form to stay unstoppable. You can reevaluate your life and see what habits you need to change.

4. Cross-pollination.

If you are observant enough and interact with other efficient companies, people, process or nations you will see many efficient performances. Online groups could introduce you to faster ways of saving pdf ebooks for easier of retrieval. A martial arts group could help you improve your personal exercise. Your local delivery person may introduce to you routes you can use to negotiate your town traffic faster. Cross-pollination ideas are endless for anyone with the desire to improve.

5. Optimization.

Everybody has routines when handling tasks. And people normally start the day in a certain way. They may start with task A followed by task B, C and D. On some day they may start with task B followed by A, C and D. What you need to identify is the combination that is optimal. In day-to-day activities you must use the processes that are most efficient. Possibly use a chair that makes you type faster or sit in certain angle which makes you think creatively.

To get fully optimized you will need to do several tests and be conscious to observe your feelings, output and other minor efficiency indicators that show your progress.

Big success with tiny crystals

A little piece of iron wire is magnetic -- just like a huge iron rod. When it comes to material properties, size usually does not matter. Surprisingly, researchers from Austria and India have now discovered that some materials show very unusual behavior, when they are studied in the form of tiny crystals. This could now lead to new materials with tailor-made electronic and magnetic properties.

Different Size Changes Material Properties

Material properties such as electrical conductivity, magnetic properties or the melting point do not depend on an object's size and shape. "In India, however, an experiment recently showed that special manganese oxides -- so called manganites -- exhibit completely different properties, when their size is reduced to tiny grains," Karsten Held explains.

A team of scientists from the Vienna University of Technology (Austria) and the University of Calcutta (India) investigated this phenomenon -- and the new effect could be explained in computer simulations. In a crossover from large crystals to smaller crystals, the distribution of the electrons changes, and so does their energy. This, in turn, changes the electrical and magnetic properties of the crystal. "The phenomenon of quantum entanglement plays a very important role here," says Professor Karsten Held. "We cannot think of the electrons as classical particles, moving independently of each other, on well-separated paths. The electrons can only be described collectively." By changing their size, the properties of the manganite-crystals can now be harnessed. Larger crystals are insulators, and they are not magnetic. Tiny crystal pieces on the other hand turn out to be metallic ferromagnets.

Important for Industrial Applications

Phase transitions, at which important material properties change, play a major role in technological applications: "When data is read from a hard-drive with a reading head, a transition between a conducting and a non-conducting state is used," Karsten Held explains. Similar effects can be seen in manganite crystals: "We knew that magnetic properties of manganites depend on the temperature and the magnetic field," says Tanusri Saha-Dasgupta, a material scientist at the Univeristy of Calcutta. "But now we know that these transitions can also be controlled by altering the size of the crystals." By changing the granular size of the crystals, the scientists can influence the critical temperature and magnetic field strength, at which the phase transition takes place. For technological applications, this opens up exciting new possibilities.

Huge Computational Effort

The manganite crystals studied by the Austro-Indian research team are only some three to fifteen billionths of a meter wide -- but still they consist of hundreds or thousands of atoms. Simulating their behavior on a computer is therefore still a great challenge. "The quantum mechanical equations we are dealing with here can only be solved with extremely powerful computer clusters," says PhD-student Angelo Valli. "Fortunately, the computer cluster VSC at the Vienna University of Technology provides us with remarkable computing power."

Changing Your iPhone Color Yourself? 3 Tips To Tip The Scales Toward Your Success

Yes, the most beautiful red, yellow, and especially electric blue colors are available for the iPhone 4 and 4S (among other colors). Yes, you can mix and match colors. Parts are readily available for anyone to buy. No, your chances of successfully getting the parts installed without damaging your iPhone are slim. However, if you must do it yourself, you'll find the following tips will help you up the odds of your success.

TIP #1:

If you get cold feet, but you already have the parts, find help. Find a reputable repair (brick and mortar) iPhone shop (a shop which just fixes iPhones, iPods, and iPads) and ask how much it would cost to install your parts. Be aware that all parts are not made equal. The possibility exist that your parts won't fit correctly, or may have a finger print on the screen which can't be removed (this would have been put there in China on the assembly line). BEFORE you let the shop change the parts for you, ask the tech to examine them and see if they think your parts will work.

TIP #2:

You probably believe you can watch a video on You Tube and you'll be able to change the parts on your own. Don't watch just one video. Find six and watch them all. Re-watch the best video over and over before you start on your phone. THEN, watch that video in segments as you actually spread your iPhone pieces all over the table.

TIP #3:

Determine right now, to have the lightest touch you have ever had in your life while fixing anything. The iPhone 4 is delicate, and it is really easy to rip a ribbon from its' connection or to simply knock a resister off its' connection. As you remove the mother board (logic board in Apple speak) don't put your hand on the three tiny (really tiny) resisters which just sort of hang out the back edge of the mother board because it isn't hard to knock one or more off.

You're reading this and thinking, "this guy just doesn't want people saving money doing their own repairs." That's not true. This is true: There is no such thing as Apple Certification for iPhone, iPod or iPad repair. iPhone shops repair iPhones, iPods and iPads which are owned by certified Apple technicians (who are certified to fix Apple computers), all the time. Ask any shop that specializes in iPhone repair, and they'll tell you it is true. It takes time and critical practice to get good at repairing these tiny devices.

By all means, if your goal is to be good or great at repairing them, start today with your own phone. Just take a deep breath, work slowly and lightly and remember where each of the 18 screws goes, because if you get the screws wrong, your iPhone won't work.

What should you do next?

We'll gladly answer any question you have about any Apple device. It is our pleasure to answer it for you, for free and without any obligation of any kind. We have done thousands of repairs. We are a family run business with two locations in Southern California. You can contact Kort, Julie or Scott Linden at http://www.itechrepairplus.com/

6 Ways To Measure SMS Marketing Success

There is no doubt SMS marketing is one of the best ways to grow a business. Text message open rates are as high as 98% and an average message is read within 4 minutes of receipt. There is also the fact that most people have their phones with them all the time. In addition, compared to other marketing channels, text is relatively cheap. This clearly makes text marketing medium of choice for anyone eager to grow a business.

However, not many marketers can tell the specifics of their last campaign. Why? Most don't know how to measure. And without measuring you can't know what is working and what is not. You can't tell what to drop and what to give more weight. Measuring the campaign metrics is absolutely crucial. Here are some tips...

1. Pr- launch metrics

Before any campaign one must know the purpose and standards of the campaign. Then get the current data available. Set off and determined what you will do with the data that will be collected at the end of the campaign.

2. Subscriber List

A subscriber list is crucial to your survival online. And it is important to know where your subscribers come from. What brings them to you and why. Before the launch of the campaign, you will check and analyze your subscriber base. Then, go ahead and launch the campaign. The following 4 items are the things you will need to measure with accuracy when it is all over.

3. New Subscribers

A campaign is successful if it brings in the desired number of new subscribers. Even more important is to determine their sources. Find out if subscribers are harvested through the campaign or as result of your friend's recommendations. This will greatly help in future campaign and decisions related to SMS marketing.

4. Opt-Outs

Well, opt outs are a sad reality of business. You can't have opt ins without opt outs. However, measure opt outs carefully. Learn why people opt out. This will help you improve you deliverables. In addition, find out how many people opt out immediately after the campaign. A possible indication they could have felt duped.

Other important opt out metrics include, demographics, opt out patterns and the overall growth rate of your campaigns. Incidentally, it is illegal to deny any one an op out or make it unnecessarily difficult. So let them go and thank them for their support.

5. Subscriber action

A subscriber action is not an easy metric to measure but it is important. When you send out a text message, you would be interested to know how people react. For instance, it wouldn't be important to know how many people visit your website, call for more information, forward the text to friends and those that visit the social media sites.

6. Sales

No doubt most campaigns are ultimately aimed at changing the bottom line. SMS marketing metrics that would be of interest are like

· The number of people who bought as a result of the SMS.

· The average sales per SMS?

· People who bought after a visit to a store or website in reaction to the message.

· The return on investment.

10 Success Traits Of Mobile Marketers Who Succeed

As a mobile marketer you may have seen two people start a business concurrently. After some time, one is wildly successful the other a complete failure. Though these people were endowed with the same resources and the two had the desire to succeed, you may have been puzzled by the huge variance. Well, success in any business requires certain basics. Here are the top ten characteristics of business people who make it big.

1. They are disruptive.

This means coming up with a totally different, but cheaper way of delivering the same results. Think of Skype. It is quite disruptive, don't you think so? It eliminates the exorbitant cross border phone charges.

2. They aim big.

The energy involved in running a $100,000-a-year business is the same as that of managing a ten-million-a-year business. Mobile marketers who succeed know this and they pursue big dreams. They go for the big clients, high return venture and technologies that offer the biggest leverage.

3. They network.

They have good relationship with investors, advisers, employees and customers. With a broad network, the ability to make important, global-sized changes is made possible. In addition, it becomes easier to borrow success concepts from other industry and apply them in mobile marketing.

4. They have a plan B

Successful marketers plan for better or worse. They look at the worst that can happen and prepare for it. However, they work tirelessly to make the best possible scenario materialize.

5. They persistence.

Persistence means working tireless in the realization of a vision. It means being flexible in the face of changing circumstances. It doesn't mean being blind and rigid to change.

6. They are honest.

Successful mobile marketers don't exaggerate the benefits of a product or hide material flaws. They don't knowingly associate with people or products that are mediocre. They are excellent and will sell products truthfully without regard to expense.

7. They hire slowly fire fast.

It is important to get hiring right the first time. This may take time research and patience. People who make it big realize they can't do it alone and that employees are key to their success. In this regard they hire without haste. However, in the event they realize that they got the wrong person on board, they fire without restraint or regret.

8. They break rules.

The rules of entrepreneurship are not immutable laws of nature. You can break them without suffering the consequences that would come by breaking laws of nature. In other words, successful marketers question rules and sometimes ignore listening to all of the rules all of the time.

9. They launch early.

The biggest profits in most businesses go to people who go in early. To go in early you need to be alert to opportunities that present themselves all the time. Often, you need to train your intuitive abilities to guide you. In most times when you go in early institution may be the only reference point.

10. They are good marketers.

Marketing is an indispensable trait of business owners who think big. It is a discipline that should not be delegated or outsourced. Marketing is the bloodline of any business and business owners who succeed masters it more than any other field.
