WAHM Announce

Margate, FL (August, 2008) When a Kansas City woman sought advice from The Today Show on supplementing her household income with a part-time job, Today’s Money 911 reporter Jean Chatzky topped her recommended work at home list with Virtual Assistant. And just this week Chatzky also mentioned virtual assistants as one of the top businesses to start from home. Who would have thought? Finally, Virtual Assistants are gaining the respect they deserve.

Virtual assistants around the globe who have repeatedly promoted the industry as individuals and as groups are beginning to see an impact on their efforts. Virtual assistants have been talked about, written about, interviewed by, and seen in the likes of Entrepreneur, USA Today, Time, The Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Reader’s Digest, CNN News, and more. “We’ve come a long way from the deer in the headlights, wrinkled forehead look once received when offering up ‘I’m a virtual assistant,’ after being asked our profession,” states Kelly Poelker, Director of Academy of Virtual Professionals and co-author of the Virtual Assistant – The Series books. “Each and every article and interview put us one step closer to educating as many people as we can on what a virtual assistant is, and how a business can benefit from our services.” It’s an exciting time to start a virtual assistant business, but there are still a number of people just discovering the profession as a result of the growing media coverage.

“I couldn’t tell you the number of people who comment they have been doing this for years and just didn’t know it had a name,” shares Diana Ennen, President of Virtual Word Publishing. Poelker and Ennen would know, too. They have helped thousands of virtual assistants get a foothold in the industry with their Virtual Assistant – The Series books, mentoring, and coaching. Over the years they’ve seen a constant increase in the number of colleges adding a virtual assistant program or course to their curriculum. For example, Red Deer College in Canada has been utilizing the book for many years. The authors state they are seeing about a 5-10% growth in the number of U.S. colleges adding VA programs each year. Most recently, Poelker founded Academy of Virtual Professionals, an online training center dedicated to educating virtual professionals whose signature course is a 16-week program based on the publications.

Poelker and Ennen are available for media interviews.

Imagine a scrapbook of Paris that will take you along the Champs Elysees, down the River Seine, and up the Eiffel Tower.

Monsey, NY – August 11, 2008 – Finally, a dynamic, digital scrapbook that tells the whole story.

Chances are you’ve seen more than one scrapbook in your life. Try to remember what you felt as you turned the pages in the scrapbook. You probably noticed the creatively cropped photographs, the memorable quotes, and ultra-chic scraps. But did it come alive for you? Most likely it was an abstract experience, with more emphasis on the design than on the story.

Now picture, pardon the pun, a scrapbook of Paris that will take you along the Champs Elysees, down the River Seine, and up the Eiffel Tower. Or a scrapbook for baby that will make you feel as if you were there at the birth, from the hectic check-in up to the moment of the baby’s hearty first cry.

This is the digital scrapbook as designed by scrapbookfly.com; a digital scrapbook that takes you from beginning to end in a captivating manner. Layouts by scrapbookfly are created to be dynamic and tell the whole story. This is accomplished by guiding the user to insert their photos in a layout in sequential order, from beginning to end. Each page represents a chapter in the story; thus, each layout has a photo and text area, which encourages the user to write a few personalized lines describing the overall mood and vibe of the photo. A story can have as few as 3 or as many as 20 pages.

The story comes together beautifully when the layouts are uploaded to an online photo album on the scrapbookfly website. The album scrolls to the left, and the story comes alive on the screen, very much like a moving filmstrip.

The inspiration:
Esther, a graphic designer and scrapbookfly creator, explains: “I had been to Italy, and couldn’t wait to share my photos with family and friends. I shopped at a popular scrapbook store, and sure enough I found many papers and stickers with a travel theme. Still, when my scrapbook was complete, I felt it was too generic. It was no different than a travel brochure!”

So then ‚Äì ‚ÄúI decided to design my own scrapbook kit, aptly titled ‚ÄúTrip to Italy‚Äù. As I created the pages, I focused on expressing the mood and vibe I felt when I took those photos. I wanted it to come alive for everybody. To pull the viewer in, I kept the photos rather large in size and included personal writings on each page. The feedback from my friends was overwhelmingly convincing in its similarity. They all said,¬† ‚ÄòI felt like I was there for a moment!‚Äô Touch?©! That is exactly what I wanted to accomplish.‚Äù

Now you can do the same. Download a scrapbook kit from scrapbookfly.com, insert your images in the layout, and upload the finished layout to an online photo album on the scrapbookfly site. All kits and albums are free. Visit http://www.scrapbookfly.com.

ResellersPanel, a pioneer in private label reseller hosting, announces that it has introduced major upgrades to its hosting platform in time for its fifth anniversary celebrations, among them a brand new file manager, a multi-currency billing solution and a new multi-store functionality.

Beside their default store, the resellers now have the opportunity to create up to three more, entirely independent of each other, free reseller web hosting stores, configured according to their specific marketing strategies. They can get a unique domain name, choose a different website template and activate a separate DNS cluster for each of the stores, which will drive brand recognition and significantly increase their reseller anonymity.

The new multi-currency billing solution, on the other hand, gives the resellers the possibility to offer web hosting and domain registration services in the five most widely used online transaction currencies and directly address the demands of a particular target audience or a specific local market.

The new file manager, which has been integrated in the web hosting control panel, boasts an entirely new, easy to navigate user-friendly interface. Beside the ability to manage multiple files and folders at once, the users now have an unprecedented opportunity to edit their files using a WYSIWYG editor and to view the changes they are making directly in a web browser in real time.

The new file manager also gives the clients the opportunity for the first time to upload .zip, .rar, .tar.gz and .gz archived files and folders, which are being automatically unpacked in the selected directory, and visually keep track of the process by means of a progress bar. Pop-up tooltips, which contain essential information about a given file or folder and display the actions that can be performed on them, self-evident file type icons and image file thumbnails have been introduced as well.

The updates to the multi-lingual hosting control panel include also the addition of the Chinese language, PHP6 support, a new domain parking option, a WHOIS/ID protection service, which allows the registrants to shield their identity against spammers and fraudsters, and a new .htaccess file generator, which offers IP authentication, hotlinking protection, SSI activation, URL redirection and custom error pages creation.

Nick Blaskov, CFO of ResellersPanel, said that five years of hard work have passed since ResellersPanel first opened the door to the whole new world of the private brand reseller web hosting services, that this special anniversary coincides also with the introduction of several important updates to ResellersPanel’s platform, such as a new file manager, which will enable the clients to handle the content of their websites more easily and efficiently, and new multi-store and multi-currency options, which will dramatically expand the marketing reach of the resellers themselves, and that ResellersPanel will continue to surprise the hosting community with newer and newer innovations beneficial for it.

Work at Home Mom finds Freedom at Home
Member of the fastest growing team in AmeriPlan.

From Kremmling Colorado, Sarah Murrey has built a successful business at home, earned the first management level of Regional Sales Director within AmeriPlan®, and has found true financial Freedom at Home, all while being a ‘Work at Home Mom’.

Like many other Americans, Sarah and her husband, Dave, found it necessary to have two incomes to get by. Rather than facing a daily routine spent; rushing her children off to daycare/ school in the morning, spending eight hours-a-day in an unfulfilling job, fighting a commute, traffic home, cooking dinner, putting her children to bed, then preparing to do it all over again the next day. Sarah knew there had to be a better way, one that would allow her to enjoy raising her children and also offer the financial security necessary for her family. AmeriPlan® provided both.

This work at home mom is one of more than 70,000 Independent Business Owners (IBO) who have joined AmeriPlan®, all working toward building financial freedom from home. She is also a member of the Freedom At Home Team™, the largest and fastest growing team in AmeriPlan®.
‚ÄúI had always knew I wanted to be a stay at home mom and being the nurturing figure in my children’s lives was very important to me. I found myself searching for something I could do from home… this is when I found AmeriPlan¬Æ,‚Äù stated Sarah. ‚ÄúAmeriPlan¬Æ and the Freedom At Home Team‚Ñ¢ offered a simple system to follow that I could work around my family‚Äôs schedule, while providing income and health benefits for them.‚Äù
“I help people save money on their healthcare expenses and assist others to make money by offering our great benefits,” Sarah continued. “I have now become a Regional Sales Director with AmeriPlan®. I now have fun working part time from home – all around my children’s schedules, and have more time to spend with my husband. I’m now looking forward to bringing home my husband as well, so our children can enjoy having both of their parents full time! I have truly found freedom at home.”
Sarah Murrey is one the latest Freedom At Home Team™ (FAHT) members to reach the level of Regional Sales Director. She is already working on the next management level and is helping other team members achieve their dreams of ‘firing their boss’.
“The training, support and leadership that is found within the Freedom At Home Team is amazing,’ stated Sarah. “Anyone who is coachable, trainable and has the desire to succeed can do so on this team. I am proof that their system works.”

The FAHT is the fastest growing team in AmeriPlan®, with more than 1,000 new IBOs joining, each month. The FAHT has been spotlighted in several national magazines, including Success from Home, Home Business and Your Business at Home. This team has been recognized with several top honors going to its members including: ‘Chairman Advisory Board’, ‘Business Builder’ and ‘Rising Star’ awards, along with the past three ‘Rookie of the Year’ awards.

Many of the FAHT members have been top producers of the company and have been rewarded with trips including an Alaskan cruise and most recently an all expense paid trip to Quebec City. There are numerous members that have been recognized for the different income levels they have reached by being named to AmeriPlan’s Founder’s Club and President’s Club. Collectively, FAHT members earn roughly $1.5 million a year in residual income, all from the comfort of their home.

“The income opportunity with AmeriPlan® is absolutely unbelievable, if you are willing to work hard and work the system. If you had told me how our lives would have changed since I first joined, I would have never believed it,” stated Janie Jones, AmeriPlan® National Vice President and founder of the FAHT. “We have helped many people create a life they only dreamed of having. I am now living out my dreams, and I can’t wait to tell others about it every day.”

“We are deeply committed to improving the lives of all our team members. Our efforts are focused on assisting these individuals in reaching their dreams of having the time and resources to enjoy life on their own terms. From stay at home parents, to people out of the workforce, to students and retirees we are willing to partner with all of them to help them reach their own goals,” stated Janie’s husband and business partner, Michael Jones.

Located in Plano, Texas, AmeriPlan® provides individuals, families and businesses across the United States, affordable medical, dental, vision, prescription, and chiropractic benefits. They have saved its members hundreds of millions of dollars in supplemental healthcare benefits since 1992. They are members of the Consumer Health Alliance, the Direct Selling Association, National Association of Dental Plans, National Association of Health Underwriters and the United States Chamber of Commerce. With over 400,000 Medical Providers, 30,000 Dental Providers, 7,500 Chiropractors, 50,000 Retail Pharmacies and 12,000 Optical Providers, and more than 1.5 million members nationwide AmeriPlan’s network is strong and growing each day.
