Email Marketing and Web Communication: Ten Key Tips to Get Your
Messages Read
There's an old saying ‘Manners maketh the man (or woman)' and
this still applies in the 21st Century, even though everything
now seems to happen twice as fast. Most people respond much
better if you treat them respectfully. People appreciate being
spoken to politely and you can definitely include consumers
here. Yes, if you are into Internet marketing, it may be a
hi-tech world, where bits and bytes circle the globe in the
blinking of an eye, but people still respond better to being
spoken to as a friendly equal. This particularly goes for
language in advertisements.
Here are some important things to remember when you are emailing
someone with a sales pitch.
1.DON'T YELL WITH CAPITALS: By all means use ‘caps' in your
message to highlight key points, but don't write whole sentences
in capitals. This is the online equivalent of screaming in
someone's ear. Bolding key points is a much better alternative
to capitalizing.
2.Be TIDY With FORMATTING: I read a lot of sales emails every
day, and it never ceases to amaze me how so many email
‘salespeople' - perhaps we can call them ‘e-sellers' - don't
bother to properly ‘dress up' their email messages. There are
many available email message formatting systems available, like
Formatit.com, which you can use to make your emails presentable,
and very likely, more profitable. Line breaks, you see, behave
badly in cyberspace, and, although your email may look fine as
you type it, the message could have line breaks all over the
place, when it's received. Sloppy presentation like this, sends
out a clear message that does not favour people buying from you.
Any sloppy line breaks are hard to read. An ideal line length is
about 50 - 60 spaces.
3.Write Your Ads Like You're SPEAKING to an INDIVIDUAL: When you
email someone you are, in effect, striking up a conversation
with them. You are hoping they'll take the time to ‘listen'. A
little bit of humour, a little bit of your own personal style,
will not go astray in your message. Be friendly and be polite.
Emails that are abrupt or too direct, can be read as insulting
or critical.
4.Say PLEASE and THANK You a Lot: As a web marketer, I always
start my messages by thanking people for ‘clicking in' to my
message. After all, they have taken the trouble to open my
email, ahead of possibly tens or even hundreds of others, who
they have not bothered to open. I always thank them for their
trouble. I know that when people are polite and thank me, I
always feel better towards them and welcome the respect.
5.Keep Your email Ads PUNCHY and SHORT: Email, by nature, is a
time-saving tool. It's quick and it's to the point. Keep you
message to the point and don't try to cram too many ‘sales
pitches' in the one email. It's very unlikely that people will
read the whole thing from top to bottom, so keep your selling to
six paragraphs or so. This is for emails you may be sending to a
safelist. If you are emailing your regular mailing list, perhaps
with you newsletter, then you can afford to follow the regular
format, which may be quite long. This is because you newsletter
subscribers generally know what to expect because they hopefully
have read more than one edition.
6.ENTICE Your Readers to READ to the BOTTOM: If you want to send
a longer than usual e-mail sales pitch, it's good strategy to
put a paragraph in, near the top, saying something like ‘If you
read to the bottom of this email, you'll find a great no cost
download'. Teasers like this are very effective and may even
prompt readers to immediately scroll down to the bottom to check
out what they can get.
7.AVOID the Word FREE in Your Message: Why, because the spam
filters will get you. While FREE might be the most attractive
word in email marketing, it's also one of those that spam
filters will likely detect to block your message. You need to be
a bit creative. Instead of FREE, why not use words like ‘no
cost, ‘gratis' ‘give-away', ‘gift' or ‘bonus'.
8.AVOID Too Many SYMBOLS: Those of us old enough to remember
cartoon comic strips, will remember how cartoonists often used
symbols to show a character ‘swearing'. Such as, ‘Why You #@!*'
Too many symbols in your message could have the same effect -
making your message confusing and unfriendly to readers. Use
symbols sparingly and to draw attention to important points.
9.DON'T Have Too Many BLOCK Paragraphs: Although grammar purists
will tell you that paragraphs can have many sentences, so long
as they are on the same topic, use short paragraphs of only one
or two sentences. Short is better, because these days, people do
not want to read great slabs of text - they will simply tune
out. You can also highlight key points in your sales message,
simply by isolating them in one lonely sentence.
10.EMAIL People As You Would Like THEM to Email YOU: This sounds
a bit biblical, but really the same applies in general life. Try
to put yourself in the reader's shoes after you've finished your
message. Would you like to have such an email sent to your
in-box. Would you find such an email polite and friendly? If
anything ‘jolts' as you read your own email, make sure you
soften it with further friendly communication.
You will likely find that showing some ‘manners' in your email
communications, will translate into greater profits and more
buyers. Thank you very much for reading this article and best
wishes to you in your endeavors.

I need a name for a comic based on video games. I was using video game sprites for the character models, and it was named accordingly, but I was "caught" for copyright infringement, even though I had permission to use the sprites. So I need a name for a comic whose main characters are Mario, Luigi, Sonic, Peach, Mega Man, Snake, Master Chief, Bowser, Samus, Link, etc, keeping in mind that the comic is drawn this time, or at the very least vector drawn in photoshop.
Video Game All-Stars

I would play around with these types of names til you find one that works. This is safe and still tells the read what they are going to see in the book.

Never one to pass up a good cinematic curmudgeon, maybe I was predisposed to enjoy Universal's Despicable Me. I mean, when it comes to off-brand animated entertainment, ass-kicking Pandas and pet Dragons only take me so far — tt wasn't until Russian supervillian Gru (Steve Carell) put his adopted children to bed in the hollowed-out casings of "probably" inactive bombshells that I finally felt like the target audience.
Ever since studios began better emulating Pixar's secret sauce, they've met with varying degrees of success in combining raw, gooey emotion with their signature lighthearted recipes. Despicable Me grapples with it, and though it may be one of the most consistent examples yet, it's still about as nuanced a dish as macaroni and cheese — which, fortunately for me, I've never outgrown.
No surprise, a lot of upper-echelon voice talent is involved, and I remember being impressed months ago at the wall of names that played after the teaser trailer. Admittedly, I haven't been the biggest fan of Carell's work since he left The Daily Show back in 2005, but he doesn't distract as Gru. He plays well off of a cast eerily similar to that of Forgetting Sarah Marshall: Jason Segel as his nemesis, Vector (who is, interestingly, another supervillian — Despicable Me doesn't have a hero); Russell Brand as an elderly inventor by the name of Dr. Nefario; Kristen Wiig as the proprietor of the orphanage from which Gru adopts three young girls in a ploy to infiltrate Vector's fortress.
But perhaps most interestingly, Despicable Me has some of the most easily-missed cameos in the history of the medium. Danny McBride plays Gru's neighbor with a line and a half of dialogue, and Jemaine Clement from HBO's Flight of the Conchords (apparently) voices one of the minions. Other than stacking the deck as an advertising vehicle, it seems pointless to pay such funny people for such inconsequential roles.
But I think their presence signifies, if nothing else, that Despicable Me is a project worth being attached to. It may fall back on certain cyclical annoying tendencies, catering occasionally to lowest-common-denominator comedy (the avoidance of which even the best emulation of Pixar hasn't managed), but the world of the film is comically rich, and no amount of disposable, annoying minions can wreck that — though not from lack of trying. The heart of the story, Gru coming to begrudgingly love his adopted daughters, may not win any prizes for revolutionary storytelling, but it's well executed and ‘cute' in a legitimate way.
or do some write it and then have an illustrator draw what there idea was?, reason i ask is because i like to write and latley ive come up with some ideas for like a manga or comic kind of series but i am no good at drawing or at least not good enough for that much drawing
Not all writers are also illustrators. It is very common for a writer-artist team to produce a popular manga. For example, Death Note was illustrated by Takeshi Obata and written by Tsugumu Ohba. The same team actually went on to write Bakuman, which is about another writer/artist duo trying to make it big in the world of manga.

Video Games And Kids - Good Or Bad?
Many American children spend a large amount of their time playing video games. As a parent, you may be confused as to whether these games are beneficial or not. That question is still up in the air. The opponents of the video game craze have made solid arguments against them, while the supporters have pointed out the benefits that these games can give to children.
The opponents to the use of video games have pointed out the negative effects that these devices can have on youngsters. It is true that in homes that have these games available, children seem to spend much more time in front of the television. In an age where childhood obesity is becoming a major problem, it might be a good idea to get these children outside for more exercise.
These critics also point out the design of the games themselves. When playing with these devices, in most situations it is every man for himself, with two people usually trying to eliminate each other. It is not an exercise in which children can learn to work together as a team and can lead some youngsters to be severely lacking in their compromising skills. Many of today's games are also violent in nature, which according to some experts can lead children to act more aggressively towards each other in real life.
Supporters of video games point out that many of these games can actually improve a child's hand and eye coordination. They also point out that some of the newer video games can give a child a good workout in the comfort of their own living room. Many of the games, especially ones that are developed for younger children, are actually very educational and can teach them the basics that they will need to know to learn reading, writing, and arithmetic.
As a parent, you should keep in mind that the playing of video games can have its benefits if it is kept within reason. Limiting the amount of time that your child spends in front of the television is a good place to start. You should also check out any games that your child rents or buys to ensure that they are age appropriate.
Recently, the manufacturers of these video products have installed their own rating system so that parents can tell if a game is too mature or violent for their children. If you are unfamiliar with this system, it is located on the outside of the video box and consists of different letters. The letters EC stand for Early Childhood and these games are appropriate for anyone age three and older. Games that are rated E are for Everyone and are appropriate for anyone age six and older. These games may contain some mild language, minimal violence, and comic mischief.
For older children, a game that is rated T is for Teens and is appropriate for those who are over thirteen. These games may contain strong language, suggestive themes, and violence. An M rating stands for Mature and is intended for people who are over the age of seventeen. These games may contain strong language, intense violence, and even sexual themes.
An AO rating stands for Adults Only and contain graphic depictions of sex and/or violence. These games are intended for people over the age of eighteen and should not be played by younger children.
Playing video games has its advantages and disadvantages. By limiting the amount of time that your child sits in front of the television and checking the ratings on the games that they are playing, you can ensure that they have their play time as well as being able to participate in other activities as well.

If you could buy the individual comic book issues cheaper than a graphic novel, would you?
It seems like a lot of comics come out in individual issues and then get collected up into a trade paperback/graphic novel at around the same price. Which would you buy if the sum of the individual issues were significantly less than the cost of the collection? Why?

Taking the evolution of the comic book as its subject, this History Channel documentary stands out by merit of its comprehensive scope and insight. Beginning with the early days of 1930s vigilantes and the patriotic characters of the 1940s, the program reveals the current complexity and range found in the pages of contemporary graphic novels, and explores the ways that cultural climates and popular attitudes are reflected in comic books. All the heavyweights weigh in, including Neil Gaiman (THE SANDMAN), Frank Miller (THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS), Stan Lee (SPIDER-MAN, THE SILVER SURFER), Kevin Smith (CHASING AMY), Will Eisner (THE SPIRIT), and others. Keith David, who voiced Spawn from the TV show, narrates the program, which is presented by Peta Wilson (LA FEMME NIKITA). In addition to the star-studded cast, however, the documentary has a lot to offer fans and neophytes alike, with analyses of the role of collecting in the comic book world, and the creation of such seminal entities as DC Comics and Marvel as well as characters like Dark Horse, the Incredible Hulk, and Wonder Women. Contextualizing the innovations and progress of the art form, this documentary is not just an important exploration of the graphic arts, but a fascinating look back at the shifting cultural concerns of a nation.
COMIC PARTY hilariously parodies classic anime/manga, and those who make and consume it. Taishi, a die-hard anime fan, coaxes his unwilling friend Kazuki to a fan comics convention. Little does he know that Kazuki's true purpose in life is to take over the world using the comics! The comic spoofs never stop, and classics such as GUNDAM and EVANGELION are fair game! In these episodes, the festival arrives, and Taishi is running the show (while Kazuki does all the hard work!). Even though he has a lot to do, Kazuki is still fixated on COMIC PARTY. He's not sure which path to choose, but he'll have to decide quickly, with only one week left until the big convention.

Nicholas Tse stars in this genre bending comedy about two comic book writers who fall for the same woman. Both artists have yet to master their social skills, and so resort to creating comic book heroes to both fight out their friendly rivalry and provide advice for getting the girl. However, their lives take a turn for the weird when their creations come to life and begin advising them for real.
When the murder of a popular comic book artist bears eerie resemblance to an illustrated death he had recently inked, life begins to imitate art as his son transforms into his father's superhero protagonist and takes to the street seeking vengeance in a martial arts extravaganza starring kung-fu prodigy Sik Siu Loong. Ying was on top of the world when his tragic death suddenly cut short his prolific career. Now his son Tian-xing has vowed to finish his father's masterwork and deliver justice to the elusive killer. As Tian-xing's transformation into the protagonist of his father's comic book brings out a newfound sense of bravery in the determined avenger, the enraged son takes to the street to do battle with both the notorious Scorpion gang and their nefarious leader Black Devil. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
