I suppose the way to start that plot would be to present myself. My name is Hector and I'm a nineteen year previous first year scholar at a university about a two hour get from home. The car I went, a recent year Ford Mustang was a high school graduation present from my parents. Fortuitously, my children was effectively down meaning I had never skilled financial issues whenever you want within my life. My father was a large shot lawyer who had seldom been house when I was growing up. Dad had devoted his living to attaining wealth through his career. Alexandros, usually resolved as Alex, was a large, formerly well made man of Greek heritage. Over time, Dad had morphed into a fat slob
and a drunk. My mother, Angelika, also of Greek history, may have been the actual antithesis of my father. Mother was devoted to your extended household, myself, and our home.
My last summertime home before college appeared to find me in a perpetual state of blue balls. It was the greatest summertime in recorded history of our place indicating enough time was used in the pool. A coincidence, without doubt, but with my close friends and their girlfriends visiting daily, the girls seem to locate themselves in a continuing opposition to see who had the skimpiest bathing suit, the sexiest body for the reason that swimsuit, and the most extravagant behaviour within their bikinis. Mum arrived to see what the commotion was exactly about on one of our earliest times, to catch the girls performing attractive dances and flashing people from their point on the diving board. Most of the guys preferred girls blinking one eyes, baring their pussies for a moment, but I was generally a tits and bum man. Broke! Female Live Sex Cams Por Also wearing a swimsuit, Mother stood at the much end of the share seeing the goings on. The class noticed her almost immediately and called aloud hellos. Obviously, the amount of raunchiness on the fishing panel dropped off. I wasn't certain if she had observed the flashings from her angle. Perhaps we were not busted. After smiling and waving at the class, Mom turned around and delivered to your house, signaling me to check out her. I guess she had observed our shenanigans following all.
That is one warm momma! he explained going her out. That woman defines MILF, claimed another. Sacred fuck, guys, that is my mother! Everyone looked at one another in different degrees of distress before scuttling away. Walking as if she were on a model's runway, Mother got up to me. My eyes exposed by the people, I'd to acknowledge making use of their portrayal of her as a MILF. From that day onward, I sought out options to look at my MILF. It didn't matter if she Adult Fuck Cams were in bathing fits or dresses and gowns, I looked over her as a lady and perhaps not a mom in the absolute most surreptitious manner I could. When she was out and I was home alone, I'd also discover my nose in her lingerie drawer. Literally. The perfume she wore followed her clear laundry. Her normal fragrance, or musk, followed her applied lingerie in the garments hamper.
Training my eyes to generally meet her look, I found a twinkle in her attention and a smile, nearly, on her face. Yes, Mother, right now. My buddies were obviously disappointed to discover that our day enjoyment had been named to a close. These were all mumbling unkind points because they gathered up their points and departed. I was upset with my mother that she had uncomfortable me by sending my friends away. I was also ashamed that she had caught us inside our delicate sexual flirting. And, I was more ashamed that she'd found me staring at her organization and tight Free Live Web Cam Xxx ass. Locating myself standing alone at poolside, I determined to clean the pool. I truly just had two chores around the house. Hold my room clear and keep the pool clean in involving the regular trips from the share guy. Little time transferred before Mom returned to poolside. To my surprise, in addition to her guide and pipe of sunlight screen, Mother was also carrying a glass of wine. She actually wasn't a lot of a drinker, an a reaction to my father's overindulgence, I suppose. And, our wine cups were huge. Father sized, I guess. From particular experience, I realized you might pour plenty of wine in to one glass. Enough to produce me tipsy anyway. Accepting Mom could be furious with me, I used myself to washing the share very energetically. Obviously, I took glances at my mom putting on the chaise whenever I could. I even transferred around the pool to find the best opinions of Mom's breasts.
She was looking forward to me in the kitchen. Live Sex Csm She wasn't smiling. Hec, you can not let those girls do this, she said. But, Mom, they were only dancing. These were not just dancing, Hector. They were also blinking you boys. I don't need that happening in my own house. But, Mom. My mom interrupted me. No, but moms, she claimed in a tone revealing she was near being angry. I will not own it, son! Conceding beat, I replied, Sure, Mom. I do believe you should deliver your friends house now. Mother turned and went away, causing me with no possible response except to stare at her wriggling ass. As stated, I'm a tits and bum man. My mother had both and my ecent revelation of Mom as an attractive woman intended I admired her in a bikini. In the same way she was going to leave the area, she turned instantly, getting me dmiring her ass. Send them home today, Hector, she demanded.
Mom desired to apologise for her behaviour early in the day and her pursuing Freeadult Porn my buddies away. I apologised to her for disrespecting her by enabling my buddies to behave that way. My mom went to the side of my sleep and said she needed a hug. I lay up at the medial side of the bed and before I really could stand up, Mother shut the exact distance between us, taking me restricted against her for the reason that hug. My arms gone around her as well. Mom was still carrying her swimsuit from early in the day that day. And, as a result of height big difference between us, my mind was against Mom's 36C's. She'd her arms about me pulling me as tightly as possible against them. My arms were about her waist, hugging her as tightly. I don't know where I got the nerve to do it but I turned my head to ensure that my lips were against one of her breasts. She leaped only a little in response to the shock, I guess, and abruptly her ass was in Free Sex Live Cams my own hands. Naturally enough, I packed her bottom cheeks.
Unfortuitously, being focused on Mom's tits, I tripped within the line of the share vacuum. Obviously, I dropped to the water. When hiking out, I was positive some of Mom's fun was at my expense. My trunks were plastered to my human anatomy and my Mother influenced puffy was on display. I remaining the poolside region as quickly that you can taking refuge within my room. Later that day, having dry down, I was laying on my sleep, just carrying briefs, texting my pals and hearing music with my headset on. Catching a flash from the corner of my eye, I turned to see my mother standing in the doorway. I don't know how long she had been position there. Her gaze seemed to be lower than my eyes. Was she checking me out? Thinking if that has been also probable seeme n to breathe living in to my wang as it began to grow some more.

Audrie Pott family to sue alleged teen rapists for 'wrongful death'
The family of a 15-year-old US girl who killed herself after she was sexually assaulted while drunk are suing three teenage boys accused of the attack and sharing a photo of it at their school.
In the latest such case, Audrie Pott committed suicide last September eight days after the alleged attack in which she was assaulted by three male schoolfriends after going to sleep at a party.
They had taken a photograph of the alleged assault, which was shared among friends at Saratoga High School, a lawyer for the family said at a press conference with her mother Sheila.
"After consuming alcohol .. she went to a bed to go to sleep, hoping to wake up the next day and go to school and start the school year. Instead she woke up to an absolute nightmare," said attorney Robert Allard.
"The sexual assault was one thing ..and then to be publicly humiliated and disgraced in front of the whole school student body, that was to much for this young girl to take," he added, announcing a wrongful death civil lawsuit.
He added: "We intend to prove … that their action not only for the sexual assault, but .. the despicable horrific, traumatic, defaming and savage actions they did in the next seven days, broke her.
"She couldn't handle it. And she did the worst thing a parent could ever imagine … she ended her life."
Her mother said: "These boys distributed the picture to humiliate and bully my daughter. They were her friends. This breach of trust would be difficult for an adult to handle, let alone a young girl."
The case is the latest in North America involving a mix of teenage sexual assault and shared photos or videos.
Last month two US teenagers were found guilty of raping a fellow high school student — a case made notorious when a video of boys laughing about the assault on the "dead" drunk girl went viral.
Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'lik Richmond, 16, both high school football players in the small Ohio town of Steubenville, were found to be "delinquent beyond a reasonable do,ubt" on all counts.
In Canada, several hundred people, including the provincial premier, attended the funeral last weekend of a teen who committed suicide after facing cyberbullying over her alleged rape.
The death of Rehtaeh Parsons, 17, has provoked outrage in Canada and abroad, and police announced Friday they were reopening their investigation into the alleged sexual assault two years ago.

Schneider Electric Launches Complete Range of Pressure Independent Balancing and Control Valves
|New Products
|Site Search
|Past Issues
· New range of PIBCVs can reduce building energy consumption by 15-20 percent
· Replacing traditional valves with PIBCVs enables simplified product selection, improved hydronic flow
· Solution streamlines operations for building owners while improving occupant comfort
ANDOVER, Mass. – April 10, 2017 –
Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and
automation, today announced the debut of Pressure Independent Balancing
and Control Valves (PIBCVs) in North America for improved valve
functionality and temperature control in buildings. The automatic
balancing valves help create a more stabilized building environment by
controlling the pressure and flow of HVAC systems under all occupancy
variations and seasonal weather, which improves occupant comfort.
Schneider Electric now offers a complete range of PIBCVs to fit a wide
variety of applications in building environments and reduce energy
consumption by 15 to 20 percent.
Traditional control valves often allow for a higher capacity flow rate than is needed. This discrepancy can lead to overflow and abrupt temperature fluctuations in a building's HVAC system, resulting in increased occupant complaints and wasted energy costs for building owners and facility managers. PIBCVs provide a stable hydronic flow independent of changes in system pressure in heating and cooling circuits, creating a more manageable system for facility managers as well as occupants.
The benefits of PIBCVs over traditional control valves include:
· Improved hydronic control;
· Improved system balancing;
· Reduced installation time;
· Less commissioning time;
· Reduced energy consumption; and
· Simplified product selection and installation.
Facility managers using PIBCVs can achieve both simplified operations and high system performance. Additionally, when PIBCVs are fitted with an actuator, they replace the manual balancing and motorized control valves with a single valve, thus reducing installation costs. Building owners experience cost savings through reduced installation costs and energy savings, while occupants enjoy stable temperature settings.
Schneider Electric's PIBCVs are currently available in North America. For more information, please contact your local Schneider Electric representative.

NBC News Taps Luke Russert for Conventions
NBC News tapped Luke Russert, son of late the Tim Russert, as a correspondent at large for the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Luke Russert will focus primarily on youth issues.
"Never before in an election cycle has so much attention turned to the youth vote, and Luke will bring a unique perspective to covering it," NBC News president Steve Capus said in a statement.
A recent graduate of Boston College with a double major in history and communications, Russert was the picture of poise when he appeared on Today and CNN's Larry King Live in the days after his father's sudden death.
He has co-hosted a sports-radio talk show -- XM Satellite Radio's 60/20 Sports -- with political pundit James Carville for the past two years.
"I am extremely humbled and grateful that NBC News is giving me this opportunity," Luke Russert said in a statement. "I believe youth issues will continue to play a significant role during this election and I want to do my part to report them honestly and objectively."
Brian Williams will lead convention coverage on NBC News.
Williams will anchor Nightly News from Denver and St. Paul on convention nights and will also anchor one hour of primetime coverage each night from 10 p.m.-11 p.m. -- the keystone in more than 200 hours of convention coverage on NBC, MSNBC and CNBC.
Meet the Press will also originate from the convention sites. Tom Brokaw will helm the Sunday-morning program from Denver Aug. 24 and from St. Paul Aug. 31.
Today's Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira will split convention duty. Lauer will co-anchor Today from Denver Aug. 28 and 29, while Vieira co-anchors from New York. Vieira will travel to St. Paul to co-anchor Sept. 4 and 5 with Lauer back in New York.
MSNBC will be practically wall-to-wall for both conventions with 20 hours per day of live programming beginning at 6 a.m. with Morning Joe live from both sites. Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews will co-anchor MSNBC's primetime convention coverage from 7 p.m.-2 a.m. each night.
Matthews' Hardball and David Gregory's Race for the White House will also originate from Denver and St. Paul. Gregory will also report live from the convention floor in Denver and St. Paul for both MSNBC and NBC News.
CNBC chief Washington correspondent John Harwood will be at both conventions to provide economic analysis for the network.
Telemundo's Pedro Sevcec, who hosts the Spanish-language channel's Noticiero Telemundo, will report live from the conventions on all four nights. Washington correspondent Lori Montenegro will cover the Democratic convention, with Los Angeles-based correspondent Carlos Botifol at the Republican convention.

California's Pet Sales Ban Sets a Dangerous Precedent
Could California's pet sales ban set off a domino effect across the United States? For the sake of everyone who makes a living in the pet industry, let's hope not.
California Assembly Bill 485, which Governor Jerry Brown recently signed into law, will institute the country's first statewide ban on the sales of dogs, cats and rabbits in pet stores, starting Jan. 1, 2019, setting a dangerous precedent that could have far-reaching consequences.
You see, once a law like this goes on the books at the state or local level, it becomes much easier for lawmakers—and the activists who have their ears—to promote similar legislation in other places by using precedent as justification. With that in mind, it's not hard to imagine a future in which we see other one state after another pass their own pet sale bans, similar to what has happened on a more local level in municipalities across the country over the past several years.
If there is any doubt that this is the strategy activist groups will take, consider this quote from Gregory Castle, CEO of Utah-based animal welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society, which was featured in multiple media outlets: "By signing this groundbreaking bill, California has set an important, humane precedent for other states to follow."
Of course, the idea of other states piggybacking off of the precedent set by California wouldn't be so disturbing if the law itself wasn't so deeply flawed. Cast by proponents as simply a prohibition on the sale of pets from "puppy mills," the law actually states that retailers can only sell dogs, cats or rabbits that are obtained from rescue groups or shelters. That means retailers cannot sell animals sourced from responsible commercial or even small-scale breeders that couldn't be further from the "puppy-mill" stereotype.
Unfortunately, this could prove problematic for the continued growth of the pet population in the U.S., particularly when it comes to dogs. Studies have shown that the supply of animals available from rescue groups and shelters falls far short of even the most conservative estimates for what it will take to keep dog ownership at even current levels. That makes responsible breeders, and the retailers they partner with, critical to American families' ability to continue experiencing the joys of pet ownership—not to mention your ability to continue earning a living in an industry you love.

Santa Ski
Crested Butte, Colorado, United States
Posted by Cameron on 23 December 2014
From my latest assignment with Elevation Outdoors Magazine:
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night… Actually, snow was a big part of this.
From the December 2014 Elevation Outdoors Print Edition:
It's no secret: Folks in Crested Butted like to dress up in costumes. And CB local Shaun Matusewicz felt there was a costuming opportunity for December.
In 2013 he started the Santa Group Ski and drew 423 Santa-clad skiers & snowboarders to swarm the slopes at Mt. Crested Butte. "It was an amazing scene, a huge cloud of red and white, hundreds of Santas swooshing back-and-forth on the fresh snow. I've described it since then as pure fun wrapped in a red felt suit," Matusewicz said.
This year Matusewicz hopes to draw more than 1000 participants and he has submitted a request to the Guinness Book of World Records which is currently under review. After the group ski, the Santas are invited to ditch their skis and hit the town pubs turning Crested Butte into a swarm of red and white swelling the holiday spirit. The event is free and there are some special offers available for a ski pass and discounted drinks. cbsantacrawl.com
Here's the result filmed on 13 December 2014:

the past two months seemed to pass by like a dream. another of my craziness...getting too greedy of life..not letting anything pass by without getting the most out of it.
another gamble and i pray this one lets me win. its not that a lot is at stake. its just my heart. and a hazy plan for the next five years. haha!
im kinda sad.. and kinda hapy. you know how it is...too much of a good thing and suddenly he leaves for a while and you dont know whether to put your life on pause til he comes back or rewind it and pick up where you left of. i have a ring to remind me i'm not supposed to make myself available to anyone but then again it also reminds me of how fragile this situation is.
there's a lot of i dont knows right now. but as i told some of my good friends, i'm a hopeless optimist and i'm positive i'll get over this semi-trial. then life would go on as usual. mr. brown eyes is a great gift that dropped from the sky. and i hope he will find his way back no matter how he hates airplanes. hahaha!

Your home is the centre of your universe and the one place you should always be able to return to at the end of a long day to cool off and find some peace. A big factor that contributes to relaxation, which is just as important as physical comfort, is smell. By ensuring that your home is full of beautiful, delicate scents, you will create a haven for yourself where the worries of the outside world can be rolled off of your shoulders and left at the door.
To help you create this paradise at home, this article will give you three of the most gorgeous fragrances to have in your house and ingenious ways of getting them. Using these will ensure you always have a sweet, soothing aroma drifting through your entire house.
A fragrant retreatOne place in the house that always needs to be smelling fresh is your bathroom because, aside from its functionality, it is also one of the few places you can properly pamper yourself and have some alone time. In a room like this, a great way of ensuring the room is full of delight fragrance is by putting a reed infuser on a shelf, such as those sold at Pairfum. A scent that is perfect for getting in the mood for a long, relaxing bath is the aptly named Spa Eau de Parfum, which combines the scents of Bergamot, Mandarin, Rosemary, and Violet leaves with undertones of green tea and Patchouli. A complex scent such as this will have your bathroom feeling like you're at a fancy hotel awaiting your massage before going out for cocktails.
Sweet dreams are made of these
When it comes to relaxation, the bedroom is another place where scent is vital. Getting a good night's sleep is difficult if things are messy and the room smells musty. The perfect scent to remedy this is, of course, the classic scent of fresh lavender. It has been proven that lavender can naturally reduce anxiety and stress, making for a calm night of rest. It is guaranteed to help you to drift off into a deeper sleep so that you are able to wake up refreshed. Many people opt to use lavender oil when it is concentrated, but an option that is far better is growing fresh lavender on your bedroom windowsill because this means you not only get the lovely smell, but you also benefit from purer air.

Finding some tranquillity
Finally, if you are in search of some tranquillity, then a great option is to get incense sticks. There are many reasons why you should burn incense sticks, but primary among them is that they help to clear the mind and promote a serene atmosphere to any room. Regarding the specific scent you should try, Peppermint incense sticks are a great option as they have been proven to elevate your mood and stimulate your mind and body.
By using carefully chosen fragrances around your home, you will be able to create a calm and collected atmosphere in no time at all.

Creative Destruction or Just Plain Destruction?: The U.S. Textile and Apparel Industries since 1972
Jim Levinsohn, Wendy Petropoulos
NBER Working Paper No. 8348
Are the U.S. textile and apparel industries examples of creative destruction or are they just plain destructing? We investigate this question using both aggregate industry-level data and plant-level data from the U.S. Census' LRD. We find that while the aggregate-level evidence is consistent with the common view of these industries as examples of declining industries, the plant-level data support a very different and much more hopeful view. We find that in the face of intensified international competition, each industry has evolved in its own way. In textiles, there has been tremendous capitalization. In apparel, the organization of production has changed. In both cases, industry productivity has increased markedly, and this is mostly because individual plants are becoming more productive.

2014 Poll: Michigan voters want a strong Detroit, oppose DIA art sale
Failed leadership, crime are cited as city's biggest problems
DETROIT – It's been said more times than one cares to count this week at the Mackinac Policy Conference: You can't have a strong Michigan without a strong Detroit.
An overwhelming number of Michigan voters appear to share that sentiment.
According to an exclusive Local 4/Detroit News poll, 91.7% of Michigan voters say they want the state's largest city to prosper while 7.3% say they don't care. Less than one percent say they'd like to see Detroit fail.
View/download: Michigan May 2014 Media Survey Report
But how do ordinary Michigan voters feel about the bankruptcy process restructuring Detroit governance?
Starting at the top, 37.2% of voters say Gov. Rick Snyder has been good for Detroit, 18.3% says Snyder has been bad for the city, and 28% say he's had no effect. However, just 20.6% of Detroit voters believe the governor has been good for their hometown and 52.9% say he's been bad for Detroit.
A majority of Michigan voters (55.1%) are confident that Detroit's leaders will succeed revitalizing the city after bankruptcy. However, 72.3% believe the state should continue some level of financial oversight over Detroit following bankruptcy.
Out-state and Detroit voters split on the biggest problem facing the Motor City.
Statewide, failed leadership was cited as Detroit's biggest problem by a plurality of voters (28%) while in the city crime was cited as the most pressing issue, with a plurality of 26.5% calling crime the top problem.
However, Detroiters are more likely to believe the city is becoming safe as 44.1% of Detroiters believe the crime problem is getting better, 23.5% say it's getting worse, and 37.8% say it's staying about the same.
Statewide attitudes are more pessimistic, with just 20% saying Detroit's crime problem is improving, 24.2% say it's getting worse, and 37.8% say crime is about the same in the city.
Statewide and city voters are generally in agreement that failed city leadership is a major reason why Detroit is bankrupt. Statewide, 54.5% of voters blamed city leadership and 50% of Detroiters agreed.
As for the controversy surrounding the potential liquidation of the Detroit Institute of Art through bankruptcy, 54.5% of statewide voters oppose any sale of DIA artwork, 24.7% said they'd support a partial sale of DIA art, and just 16% favor selling off the entire DIA collection.

Media Release
17 November 2017
'Willberry the Wonder Pony' is a very familiar face in Eventing across the globe. World renowned eventing riders including Michael Jung, Pippa Funnell, Mark Todd, and our own Shane Rose, have taken their Willberry pony cross country at major competitions in the UK.
Willberry is a toy pony that represents a UK charity set up following the cancer diagnosis of young British rider, Hannah Francis. 'Wilberry' was always by Hannah's side, and she blogged about her cancer journey through the eyes of her toy pony 'Willberry'. Unfortunately, Hannah lost her battle with the disease in August 2016.
When Hannah's Wilberry Wonderpony Charity learnt about Gillian Rolton's battle with endometrial cancer, it seemed an obvious choice to partner with the Mitsubishi Motors Australian International Three Day Event and Cancer Council SA, to raise the profile of cancer research.
"Gill has been overwhelmed by the support of the public and the riders to help promote and support her chosen charities and raise the profile of endometrial cancer and the research required to find a cure," says Greg Rolton.
As a way to raise awareness and support fundraising for cancer research, riders have been asked to create interesting ways to parade their respective Willberry Ponies during the event.
To date, 'Wilberry' has had several adventures including parading with Megan Jones as her trot up partner during the horse presentations last Wednesday. 'Willberry' is also 'shadow judging' the dressage with President of the Ground Jury, Christian Landolt, and has 'popped up' in the main arena as Matt Gaske took off his top hat at the end of his dressage test on Thursday.
Other Cancer Council activities across the event include the Sun Smart program on Qantas Cross Country Day, where spectators will be provided with Cancer Council Sun Cream for a gold coin donation. Thomas Foods International Showjumping Day will see Cancer Council volunteers armed with yellow daffodil badges at the event entrances.
All funds raised during the event will go towards the treatment and research of Endometrial Cancer.
If you would like to join riders and event-goers alike in making a donation, please head to the Mitsubishi Motors Australian International 3 Day Event website at https://australian3de.com.au/ and click the donation link on the home page.
All donations to Cancer Council SA are tax deductible and greatly appreciated.

Like the idea of earning some affiliate commission with Amazon? Good plan. Not sure where to start? No worries – here's how.
Amazon Associates – the mane for the Amazon Affiliate Marketing Program – is a great way to get making some money online.
It might never be your main income stream, but then again it could be all you need. Either way you should definitely get set up with an Amazon Affiliate Marketing account ASAP.
What is Amazon Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate Marketing with Amazon is simply this:
You do some of Amazon's advertising for them and they pay you a percentage of the profits from any sales you generate.
How much does Amazon Associates pay? This post goes into some detail on commission rates and earning potential.
How to do Amazon Affiliate Marketing
Given that affiliate marketing is just recommending a product and persuading people to click through to the seller's website, in this case Amazon, you just need to get people clicking links!
Anywhere you can include a hyperlink will work. You can even do it in print, but we're focusing here on online business.
Here's the main ways of making money online with Amazon Affiliate Marketing.
Create an Amazon Product Review Site
The most effective way to promote Amazon products is with product reviews. People like to read reviews before buying. They want your opinion.
A review site can be done in two ways.
- A site that simply reviews products. The category might be very loose, or perhaps non-existent. It might just be products that you like.
- A site dedicated to reviewing products in a certain niche. "Dog Training", "Hunting Knives" or "Executive Luggage" for example.
Use Comparisons
One way is to set up a comparison table, rating different products on their features and benefits, and linking to full reviews of each.
Another popular method is the "Product A" vs "Product B" article.
Give Your Opinion
Above all, people are looking for personal opinion. They can find out all the features on Amazon itself. What they want to know is what YOU think about it.
Be Honest
Tell people what you really think. Don't be afraid to include negatives. In fact you should always try to find at least one downside.
Remember: People are different. It might not be a downside to them.
Perhaps the product is complicated, with many features and different settings or, conversely, it might be extremely simple. Either of those could be exactly what they're looking for.
Use Pros and Cons
- List them as bullet points
- People may skim the article
- But they'll read the bullet points
Include Your Affiliate Links
Remember your links. Yes, more than one. In fact, linking to Amazon 10 times in a product review is not unreasonable.
Make sure that any images are affiliate linked too – people love to click on pictures!
Build an Amazon Niche Site
A niche site or, if you really want to go to town on it, an Authority site, is a website that has all the information a prospective buyer needs to know before buying a product in a particular area.
You'll want plenty of pages and posts full of useful insights and opinion on the subject, and then articles about specific products.
Focus on how to use the products and the real world problems they solve. Include your affiliate links as often as possible.
With an Authority Site consider a Resources page where you list, with affiliate links of course, all the different products someone might need.
Start a Blog
If you have a particular interest or knowledge in your chosen niche you might want to blog about it. Perhaps you already do.
Can you write interesting, educational or amusing articles on the subject? Then you should.
A blog might be part of a review site or niche site, and should certainly form part of an Authority site. It might also stand alone.
However you do it, be sure to include your Amazon affiliate links as frequently as seems reasonable. And link to your full review of the product.
Build an Email List
Start building your list! It's the number one piece of advice you'll hear from all online entrepreneurs and savvy marketers. The money is in the list.
You can start this for free with providers like MailChimp and MailerLite.
Send out your latest blog posts or product reviews. Don't just keep asking people to buy stuff though – give them something of value.
The more value you give, the more respect and trust you'll build. If people respect and trust you they're likely to buy from you when the time is right for them.
Start a YouTube Channel
Do you prefer making videos to writing? So make videos. Review Amazon products. Set up comparisons. Give useful information. Just do it in video form.
You can make good money with just a YouTube channel reviewing products and links in the description. And you can do better.
Do Both
Make the videos and then include those videos in your blog posts and reviews. Some people prefer to read, others to watch and listen.
The best way is to include a link in the YouTube description to the full review on your website. In the video be sure to TELL, or at least ask people to click the link.
Promote Amazon Products on Social Media
You probably recommend things on social media anyway.
"Hey, I saw this movie at the weekend – it was awesome" or "Went to this new restaurant last night – you should try it".
Promoting products isn't so much different – but you get paid.
Just don't over do it!
You might want to start a Facebook page or set up an Instagram account rather than using your personal feeds and bugging your friends.
But still – don't only ask people to buy stuff
Aim for at least 70% interesting content and only around 20 – 30% asking for the sale.
That's a pretty good rule of thumb for any form of promotion – first inform, educate and add value – lots of value, then ask for the sale.
Amazon Affiliate Marketing – Keys to Success
Numbers – because the affiliate percentages aren't high with Amazon you need plenty of sales. And for plenty of sales you need LOTS of people reading your reviews and clicking your links.
There are products on Amazon that will pay you commission in the hundreds of dollars – and you'll sell a lot less of those than you will of things that pay you $5 – $10.
Getting lots of people to click through to Amazon means you need plenty of…
Traffic – visitors to your website, blog, YouTube channel or however you're promoting.
You can drive traffic with ads and social media, but ideally you want to be getting plenty of 'free' traffic from search engines like Google.
You want your product reviews and videos to show up on the first page of Google, and for that you need….
Links – you need to learn about backlinks, and building them. Easier with an Authority site than a straight review site, but there are ways.
Getting links will very likely be the most important thing you do.
You can write the best reviews in the world but, if nobody sees them, how many sales will you make?
Yes, that's none.
You need to promote yourself, in the form of your websites, as much as you promote products – they go together.
Take a Udemy course or two on building links and driving traffic – or Google it, there's no shortage of information and training out there.
Getting started as an Amazon Affiliate
Is very simple…
- Sign up for an Amazon Affiliate Marketing account
- Choose a niche (see this post on choosing a niche)
- Set up a website (which is quick and easy)
- Start writing and/or making videos
And that's it. Seriously. You can learn more later for sure, but you now know everything you need to get started with Amazon Affiliate Marketing.
Go go go!

The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan and the University of Michigan Innocence Clinic asked the state's Supreme Court today to overturn the felony conviction of a Detroit woman who was too poor to pay more than $1,100 a month in child support.
After a lengthy hospital stay for a severe mental illness, Selesa Likine lost her job, custody of her three children and was later arrested and jailed for more than 40 days because she could not afford the assessed amount of child support.
"Our most vulnerable members of society, like Ms. Likine, deserve our compassion and support," said David Moran, U of M Innocence Clinic co-director who argued the case. "Ms. Likine was ultimately arrested, jailed and convicted for being poor. It's time for the Michigan Supreme Court to end this injustice and allow Ms. Likine to prove that she can't pay."
The ACLU of Michigan and the U of M Innocence Clinic are appealing her conviction, arguing that the trial court violated her constitutional rights by not allowing her to prove that she was unable to pay because she was unemployed, disabled and confined to a psychiatric hospital for a portion of the time in which she failed to make payments. At the time of her sentence, the judge failed to instruct the jury that inability to pay was a defense or assess Likine's financial situation. Last year, a judge adjusted Likine's child support payments to $25 a month; however, she still owes tens of thousands of dollars in back payments.
The ACLU and Innocence Project have asked the Michigan Supreme Court today to reverse Likine's conviction and allow for a new trial in which she can raise the defense that she is too poor to pay the assessed child support.
According to the brief: "prohibiting Ms. Likine from presenting evidence of her inability to pay directly conflicts with the Fourteenth Amendment, which both requires a voluntary act or omission for criminal liability and bars a state from criminally punishing the indigent for being unable to pay their obligations."
In 2005, Selesa Likine was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. After a lengthy hospital stay, she was terminated from her job and has not been able to work since. In 2007, despite the fact that her only income was the $603 a month she received in Social Security benefits, the court increased her child support payments from $181 to $1131 a month. The Friend of the Court mistakenly recommended the larger amount because of a commission Likine received in a one-time transaction selling real estate. It was her only sale and her real estate license lapsed in 2006 because she couldn't pay for renewal and continuing education costs.
For years, Likine attempted unsuccessfully to have the child support payments modified. In 2008, Likine was arrested, jailed and convicted in Oakland County Circuit Court. She was sentenced to time served and probation for failing to pay the amount owed.
In addition to Moran, Likine is represented by Michigan Innocence Clinic Co-director Bridget McCormack and the ACLU of Michigan's Michael J. Steinberg.

There has been a raging debate going on over at Linkedin about whether Logistics has lost its importance and luster in the corporation. I think the devastating tragedy in Japan will put this to bed once and for all as it is clear logistics will drive the recovery in that Country.
For the GIS folks who believe logistics has been displaced with information flow, I would love to see you get water, food, fuel and recovery needs to people who need it with an iPad and some code. What will solve Japan's crisis and help people in need are trucks, truck drivers, warehouseman and "boots on the ground" not computers.
This puts this debate to bed in my mind. Computers are a tool for the people who will actually do the work recovering.
My heart and prayers are with the people of Japan AND with those courageous people who will risk their lives to get the food, fuel and medical supplies to those who desperately need it.

Woman Faces Felony Trial for Forgery of Ex-Husband's Signature on Loan Mod Docs
by: Le Anne Rogers
A Westland woman has been ordered bound over for trial on felony charges that she forged her former husband's name on mortgage modification paperwork.
Tonya Cramier-Oncza, 45, waived her preliminary examination in Westland 18th District Court Thursday. She is charged with forgery, uttering and publishing and being a fourth-degree habitual offender. A not guilty plea had been entered and she is free on a $200,000 cash/surety bond.
Divorced six years, Cramier-Oncza is charged with signing her ex-husband's name on documents to modify a home loan.
Cramier-Oncza's former husband doesn't live at the former marital home on Merritt and currently resides in Garden City.
The former husband thought Cramier-Oncza was going to lose the home to foreclosure, police said, then became curious when she continued to live there. When he checked into the situation, the former husband found loan documents were signed with his name but not his signature and contacted police.
Cramier-Oncza is scheduled for Wayne County Circuit Court arraignment on April 25.
The habitual offender charge is the result of prior charges for forgery against Cramier-Oncza which resulted in probation.
In 2007, Cramier-Oncza was charged with forging a signature and cashing a check belonging to a client she was assisting through the federal Family Self-Sufficiency Program at Westland's Dorsey Center. The client complained that Cramier-Oncza, who worked for an outside agency, had kept part of the money from the check.
While on probation for that case in 2008, Cramier-Oncza and one of her sons were charged with forging checks belonging to a neighbor.

Audrina Patridge and Lo Bosworth film scenes for "The Hills" outside Fratelli's Restaurant 10/22
Audrina Patridge looked tough in her 'Punk's Not Dead' t-shirt as she arrived at a local bakery in Beverly Hills yesterday (October 22) to film an upcoming episode of The Hills.
The 24-year-old was later joined by co-star Lo Bosworth, who channeled her inner Lauren Conrad in a high-waisted skirt, billowy top and Christian Louboutin pumps.
Meanwhile, more arrests have been made in Audrina and fellow Hollywood Hills resident Lindsay Lohan's burglaries.
In addition to the 19-year-old male arrested earlier this week, Los Angeles Police Department detectives reportedly arrested four women who were also connected to the burglaries.
One of the women, 19-year-old ring leader Rachel J. Lee, is also under investigation for possibly being involved in the $2 million jewelry heist at Paris Hilton's home in 2008.

Fading Frame With Fame: Where Did Whitney Port Go?
Whitney Port is still as gorgeous and grounded as ever (and ratings for "The City" are up 43 percent according to Nielsen), however it seems her absorption into the New York fashion world has left the starlet looking as tiny as ever before.
"She never used to be that thin," an inside source told Tarts. "It seems to happen to all these girls when they hit their second season."
So is Port transitioning from designer to model? Not quite.
"It has been really challenging starting a clothing line in this economy, the last thing that people want to spend their money on is clothing," Port (who is concentrating on her own line "Whitney Eve") told Tarts. "It has definitely been challenging but I think that my passion for it will out ride the hardships."
And even though the 24-year-old gets constant props for her good looks, she's her own worst critic.
"It's always difficult to watch and analyze yourself on television," Port added.

I think they're reaching here. She looks the exact same size to me.

Audrina Patridge: Behind the Scenes from My OK! Magazine Shoot
Audrina blogged about her shoot with OK!:
Here are a few quick behind the scenes shots from my OK! Magazine shoot. We had such a fun day shooting this denim story, on location in Brentwood. We shot at this beautiful private home, that had a gorgeous pool and spectacular views. It was SO hot, I was dying to just go swimming, but I had to film "The Hills" immediately after this shoot and couldn't mess up my hair and makeup. The photographer, Andrew Southam, was fantastic and so were Jenny, Kevin and Patty from OK!

This is not a good weekend to head into the backcountry.
The Canadian Avalanche Centre (CAC) issued a special warning Friday (Feb. 24) advising against travel in the alpine due to very dangerous conditions. According to the CAC website the danger level in the alpine is very high while at and below the tree line the danger level is considerable.
"Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route finding and conservative decision making essential," the warning on the website said of travel below the alpine.
Brad Sills, the manager of the Search and Rescue team in Whistler, said the warning issued by the CAC is not an exaggeration.
"When they put out a special advisory they mean it," said Sills."They don't use it gratuitously."
Natural avalanches are likely in the high alpine this weekend and human-triggered avalanches are very likely.
He said backcountry users should always consult the CAC website before heading out.
Once a decision is made to go into the backcountry, Sills said his volunteer members won't rush into an unsafe situation to perform a rescue.
"The public has to realize that safety follows three conditions: personal safety, team safety and then the safety of the subject so if you find yourself in an avalanche you're the third consideration when it comes to safety," said Sills. "People need to understand that, yes, we have a search and rescue team, yes, they're very good but they are not going to risk their safety to come and get you."
With 13cm of new snow overnight and an accumulation of 35cm in a 24 hour period, Whistler Blackcomb is reporting all lifts are expected to operate today offering a far safer alternative to the backcountry. Skier and riders are reminded by WB to stay out of permanently closed areas within the ski area boundaries.
According to WB, the main hazards in permanently closed areas includes: cliffs, crevasses and avalanches.
A note on the WB website warns that lift access privileges will be revoked for those who enter permanently closed areas and it is every skier and rider's responsibility to know where they are at all times.
The CAC is predicting conditions will improve Sunday and Monday. The alpine forecast is calling for up to 10cm of snow today, up to 3cm Sunday and partial cloud with no snow expected Monday.
The CAC has posted warnings for a number of areas around B.C., including the North Shore. The danger rating for the North Shore is high at and below the tree line so avalanches are expected in the North Shore backcountry this weekend.
