"Prices should continue to increase during 2008, but at a slower rate and with some surprising hot spots. Continuing low housing affordability and upward pressure on interest rates are likely to be the key influences on national housing markets throughout 2008"
The above quote was from an article by Monique Wakelin, in a Smart Company article in december 2007, last year. My How times have changed! She had a crack at predicating a trend that for one reason or another has not eventuated.
Here we are in October 2008, and the world is in economic shambles. Melt down would be a more apt description. Globally governments via their federal reserve banks are, participating agressively in the financial markets in a manner not seen since Franklin D Roosevelt's New Deal in the 1930s. As to how long this particular trend is going to perpetuate itself...who knows?
Now lets get to the topic of presentations, How many of you are great at public speaking, and indeed, great, not only at public speaking but actually conveying somewhat complex concepts in a manner that is accesible to a broad swathe of people. Have at look at Dymphna Boholt's presentation.
So do you think you have what it takes to present in public like that? Do you have the google video to prove it? Got you there didn't I....: )
There are quite a few places where one can get a start in learning the skill sets that are needed to be a good public speaker. A great place to start would be your local toast masters. This great community organisation is a fantastic place to get to know folk within your local neighbourhood.
If however you are interested in delivering a world class presentation like Dymphna Boholt and getting what in my humble opinon is the best public speaking course on the planet then you should get out there and seek out a gentleman by the name of Chris Howard. He is american, however that dude has some serious skills, and he will open your eyes to the amazing possibilities that are out there.

After last post on marketing without search engines, I decided to follow up with a strategy you can use to get quality free traffic. One of the easiest ways to get visitors to your web site is to spend money. Nothing is more effortless then paying for traffic. But if you can’t afford it or don’t want to pay, there’s an equally simple but free way to get traffic: ad swaps.
