Uniquely Singaporean - Pre-Bridal Photography

By Jessy Wong

Weddings are well known to be quite stressful. From when you wake up to when you crash down asleep you would have been on the go all day long.

You should not have a care in the world on your special day. It should be a totally relaxing and special day.

There is so much to do on your actual wedding day that a day in a busy office would be like taking a day off compared to your wedding day. Asking for support from everyone that you can will make your special day more special.

Your wedding day will full for sure but stress can be avoided as long as you get lots of support and plan well. Remember your bridal professionals are there to take the stress from you and if have planned well a few of your close friends will be there to catch any problems for you and solve them.

Around ten years ago pre-wedding photography came into its own in Singapore as a way to have a more enjoyable actual wedding day. Today it is very popular. With Singapore having a lot of traditional Asian style weddings doing a lot of the main photography before the wedding is often essential. Traditional weddings are involving and detailed and involve usually a large number of people. Getting the main photos done ahead of time is essential.

Smart photographers started offering pre-wedding packages so that all the stress could be taken out of the actual day. So with pre-wedding photography there was no longer any need to rush around to get all the pictures taken. It also removed the risk of the special day photos being totally destroyed by bad weather as well.

Pre bridal packages vary from photographer to photographer so you will have to shop around. Most packages will include outdoor as well as studio shots. Getting a variety of shots will ensure an interesting album. Ask your photographer what is included in their packages.

As well as ensuring you get a great set of photos for your album, pre-bridal photos mean that you have something special to show at your actual wedding to your guests, which is always nice.

Pre-wedding photography is catching on around the world now. It may not be called pre-bridal in other countries but the idea still exists. If your photographer has not suggested doing a pre-wedding shoot then ask them for a price as part of the overall wedding package. Booking the two together - pre and actual day photography will save you money for sure and will allow you to bargain a little.

However with the right training and effort they can be. So if you want to learn how to make money online, there are a few ways to do so.

The first way we will introduce is the selling direct sales, or direct affiliate commission.

This means you are visiting forums about your topic, you are signing up, you are verifying your email address, you are changing your signature to include your affiliate link (where rules allow) if rules do not allow affiliate links, you are creating a blog (free at a site like wordpress.com or blogger.com), and putting your blog link up there instead, and your blog link will do the selling and contain the affiliate link. The more forums you do this at the better. Now you actually have to interact with in the forum. every post you make will be another link back to your site. So you should make lots of small little posts if allowed, and perhaps post a few high quality ones that you hope will be viewed often. You should also consider doing Google searches for popular searched term plus the word forum or message board, and see what comes up.

You should not expect many sales, but if you get 500 views you might get 100 people to click through to your link, and maybe 2 will buy. If you can continue to build sites that continue to grow in traffic, you will continue to make money online. If you continue to do more work, you will make a lot more money online, and you will be able to get rich eventually as eventually you will make enough money to quit your job. When this happens, you can retire and make a lot more money online with your free time and extra cash.

By Steve Jackson

What's the best ezine article marketing strategy? Let's look at some information, secrets and tips, that will help you to achieve online article marketing success.

First of all write about something that interests you, if you are not even interested in the subject then you are a lot less likely to write well on it. Do your home work, when you write your new ezines on whatever the subject may be, make sure you know about that subject, if you don't this will show in your article.

It goes without saying that the first impression is always the impression that counts. That title will be in big bold letters at the top of your article and you need to make sure it tells the reader what they will be benefiting from when they read the article.

We see many individuals that fail at this next step. Instead of "standing out from the crowd, " they choose to go with what the crowd is doing. Today, a large portion of the crowd is writing articles on cooking, gardening, beauty and parenting, the internet is flooded with these kind of subjects, try to find something a little bit more niche.

Try to make sure that even though your subject is niche there is still a significant demand for it. Look for niche subjects that there is a good demand for with relatively little supply. You may want to calculate the KEI (keyword effectiveness index), for a particular keyword to give you an idea of what the supply and demand for it actually is.

There are many article directories out there that you should take full advantage of. Many individuals submit their articles to article directories everyday in order to bring attention their way. Some of our favourite article directories include go articles, article dashboard, ezine articles, buzzle and article alley.

When you start writing ezine articles, you need to create a batch and put them on the Internet with your name on them. This will get your name out there. You should make sure those ezine articles are nothing less than high quality, so you can start to build up a good reputation.

Keep it simple. The last thing you want to do is over complicate your articles or blind your readers with science. It's much better to keep your articles short, sweet and to the point.

In conclusion make sure you have a catchy title, make sure you do not have any grammar and spelling errors, make sure you have content that is not full of fluff and make sure it has a good amount of knowledge in it.

Whilst there is a enough information out there to overwhelm the majority of webmasters at first, the chief idea is fairly straightforward.

Researching Your Niche Is The First Step In The Process.

When first starting out you want to find a good niche market you are actually interested in and conduct market research for viable keywords. This is your most important starting point, and you can accomplish this by finding out what your potential visitors are looking for. This is the main function of keyword research finding the tangible terms or phrases persons type into search engines to come across answers to their problems, and you can be assured that if you do not do your niche keyword research, you will regret it later.

Writing Online Articles

By David Lim

You are reading this article because you want to know how to write a good online article. Unfortunately, I can't teach you how to write well, not in one article. And anyway, I'm not a good enough writer to be qualified to teach. But I do know a thing or two about writing for the online community, and this article is about how to gear your writing for the online world.

Know What You Are Writing About

The best, if not the only way, to write good articles is to know your subject matter. Granted that you can't be an expert in everything, and that most writers are asked to write on a wide range of subjects, that little extra time taken to do a bit more research or homework before starting to write will pay off handsomely.

Use Bullet Points And Subheadings

Writing articles to be read online is different from writing for offline consumption. On the web, many readers prefer to scan their articles before reading them. Therefore, it is good if you can break up your article into sections, and use bullet points if you are presenting a list.

Write In The First Person

I would recommend to always write in the first person. I think it gets your message across and makes your readers sit up and take notice. It really feels like you are there in person with them. In case you are still wondering, consider the following sentence: "Before the next step is undertaken, it is recommended that goggles be worn." Compare that to the first person: "I would recommend that you wear goggles before undertaking the next step."

Be Clear And To The Point

The articles you write for online consumption are generally not meant to be literary pieces but are vehicles through which you impart your expertise. Nevertheless, you can incorporate your own style but do be mindful that your readers are looking are a quick and fast read to get the information they want.

Check For Errors In Grammar And Spelling

It gives your readers a very bad impression if you have obvious spelling and grammar errors in your article. So do make good use of the spellchecker in your word processor, and spend a few minutes going through your article checking for errors in your grammar.

Conclusion

On the Internet, there are articles written purely for SEO ranking, their only purpose being to serve as fodder for the search engines, and not meant for human eyes. Despite that, I feel that if you were to put your name to an article, you should be proud of it. As such, any article you write, for whatever purpose, should be a well written piece that a human reader can appreciate and enjoy.
