If you own a small business or practice (selling your services, like an accountant, a therapist, a consultant) and don\'t have a website yet, it is not too late. And it doesn\'t have to be a big deal. In this economy, the winners are going to be those who continue to market and promote.

Is your sales page converting like you think it should? If not you should be testing to increase conversion. The internet is rather impersonal when it comes to salesmanship.

The only way that you have to persuade a customer that they want to purchase your product or service is through your sales page. Your sales page is one of the most important pieces of your internet business and it should be cont... more...

In the manufacturing industry there are many machines that come in handy during the manufacturing process.

The screw machine is essential for high volume, metal-threading applications. It varies from a lathe in that the spindle on this apparatus cuts into the material without having to reverse its motion to remove the cutting tool.

These specific machines are purportedly the most cost effective when it comes to high volume production of turned components. Oftentimes they require extensive set-up time and effort, but once t... more...
