Im Still In Love With My Ex

without comments

If you find yourself saying, “I’m still in love with my ex” you aren’t alone. There are many who find themselves at the end of a long term romance or marriage still clinging to hope that they might bring it back. Just because it seems like things are darkest and that there is no hope doesn’t mean that there isn’t any. There is still a chance that what you had can come back even stronger. When you are saying “I’m still in love with my ex” and you want to get that love back it is going to have to come back stronger if it is going to last.

For those of you saying, “I’m still in love with my ex” you may have a desire to turn back the clock and bring back what was lost. Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it and have the same results.

Look carefully at the mistakes that was made in the past and find out not only why they were made, but why they were able to have the impact on your relationship they did. You need to be able to make a stronger foundation than you had before. You are going to have to try and start from ground zero. To get back together with the one you love, you are going to have to try and start all over again. Just find a way to do it better. Tell yourself, “I’m still in love with my ex, but I want it to be better than before.”

Try re-establishing a friendship. Take it slow. If your ex feels like you are trying to make things like they were, they may be resistant to it. Don’t push things, just let things take their course. If the two of you are supposed to be together, it will happen. Just let it happen naturally.

Think positively about it. Don’t let your ex see you crying or depressed about it. You want to try and make it look like you are a joy to come back to. If your ex sees that you are walking around depressed, they may decide that they don’t want to have that in their lives. If they see that for you life has gone on and you are happy they may want to join you in your happiness.

Try to think of what type of person you would like to be with. Do you think that they would want to be with that type of person as well? People want to be with happy people who can brighten their day and make them smile. People want to be with someone who makes them feel that they have a purpose and that they aren’t alone. Try to be someone that makes someone feel like that. Make your ex feel special by just being an encouraging friend.

If you make yourself valuable to your ex and are able to make them feel valuable you may have a chance to bring back lost love. You may also be making a foundation that will last forever. It is a good thing to say “I’m still in love with my ex.” It is an even better thing to try and make the foundation of that love stronger.

There is a Blog for Everyone

with 2 comments

There are so many blogs out on the internet that you could probably read one a day and never run out. The subject matter of the blogs on the internet is everything to anything; you name it you can find it. I may not know it for a fact that there is a blog subject for anything thing any subject for whenever I have wanted to search a subject I have always found exactly what I wanted. Some blogs are created to generate a profit while other blogs are created to help others. With so many blogs currently available online it can be difficult to determine which blogs are worth reading and which are not. It can also make it difficult to limit the number of blogs the Internet user reads.

You certainly have heard of Google, if there is something you want to know about then you will Google it as in when there is something you want to find in the form of a blog you will Google it. If you a Google novice it will be awhile for you to become accustomed to the form of a Google search that will be a blog. Heck, I am a pretty seasoned internet Google person and sometimes it takes a little weeding for me to find the blog I want and the information.

Out of all the trial and error in finding information from blogs when I search is to include the word blog in my search phrase and it appears to help to filter the search results and may push blogs towards the front of search results. However, Internet users are better off searching for collections of blogs and then searching within these collections for ones of interest take for instance the subject oftime tested and proven internet secrets that guarantee growths and profits, a mouthful for sure but a difficult subject to search and find.

What seems like another way in finding blogs about a particular subject is through message boards. This is because many message board participants who have a blog often find ways to make others aware of this blog. This may either be through the process of incorporating a link to the blog in the message board user’s signature or, when appropriate, supplying the link to the blog directly in the message body of a post on the message board.

I have seen where many bloggers are taking advantage of the opportunity to promote their own blog through message boards. This in turn is clogging the system up to the point where you begin to question the validly of the information source you are presented with. Because of this it appears that the internet user becomes somewhat discriminating about the blogs they choose to visit.

I hesitate to say that you need to do this for regular forum posters who offer valuable information to the conversations on the message board. The Internet user may also wish to avoid blogs which appear to be posted as spam. This is important because these blogs are not only likely poor quality but also visiting these blogs only encourages the blog owner to continue to spam message boards with his link. Even with all of the concerns surrounding the source and quality of information in finding blogs the good news remains that there is a blog for everyone. Enjoy Yours!

Highest Paying Affiliate Programs

with one comment

You want to make a really decent income from affiliate marketing on the internet and the only way that I see as doing that is by examining all of the highest paying affiliate programs in the very sense of the phrase. However, there are other important factors apart from the commission or pay that come into play when selecting the online affiliate program to join that will reward you with the highest revenue possible.

When you are doing your due diligence as to which product or service you plan to promote something that you can comfortably use personally? It doesn’t really matter how huge the commission will be if the product or service will not inspire or trigger any sales. Further, you can be able to effectively sell the product or service if you have a passion for it and believe in it. As a result, your target audience will believe in you and any future recommendations. An idea you may look in to is how to go about Christian affiliate programs if you are a Christian internet marketer.

You have spent a great deal of time in promoting your website or blog in preparation to promoting as an affiliate but do not get sidewise with the market you are try to attract by promoting a product or service just because it is the highest paying and most rewarding affiliate programs will have websites that only have one or two complementary products. If you fill your website with a jumble of unrelated products, not only will you experience a hard time when marketing, but also your whole marketing campaign will appear unprofessional and will portray as a small-time.

As you compare the stats on the products you find that they fit your website be sure that you do not overlook some the essential elements such as the client-to-sale ratio of the affiliate product website? How does it convert clicks into sales? Be advised that even the best and most lucrative product can never make up for a poor sales process. Avoid wasting your precious time and energy redirecting your target audience to a website where they cannot buy anything once they are there. As such, you should conduct a thorough website analysis before joining any affiliate program. Is there a compelling sales copy that can convince you to make a purchase? Does the website appear professional? Is there an opt-in form and client testimonials? Those are characteristics of the best and highest paying affiliate programs.

When associate with a reputable or well thought out affiliate marketplace you will find that is where the highest paying affiliate programs on the internet further have a clear tracking system that automatically credits affiliates for every sale. As such, you should look for a program that has ‘cookies’, — special tiny files encoded with an affiliate ID. These cookies will automatically get downloaded by your target clients so that even if they do not purchase an affiliate product at that point in time, you will still get credited for that referral whenever they come back to make a purchase.

It is important that you are sure that the product that you have targeted because of being in the highest paying affiliate programs are those offering resources and tools to help affiliates promote their products. An affiliate program worth its name will supply its affiliates with promotional tools such as text and banner ads, email promotions, and informative articles.

You shall easily obtain your goal of developing a steady stream of income with you highest paying affiliate program as long as you adhere well to the guideline that we have gone through with the closing thought is that the highest paying affiliate program is one that allows you to maximize your potential and generate the highest possible revenue.

Use Your Affiliate Marketing Resources

with one comment

Are you one of the people who hates their job and dread waking up in the morning to go to work? You really don’t have to be afraid in taking that big leap of faith in yourself. I mean look at this way what is the worse that could happen; you fail and have to start all over again. I have been there and done that and I would only be foolish to say that it didn’t hurt when it hurt like a son-of-a but I dragged myself back up and hit it all over again really paying attention to detail and succeeded but there were some rough times in there and there will be for you too.

There are great business opportunities on the internet that require little to no cash to begin with depending on the ready resources you already have in place. What I am talking about is affiliate marketing, it is a very lucrative venture for people with a knack for marketing or sales, and who are self-motivated and hardworking. With that said, as is with any other business venture, you need resources to enlighten you on the business you are getting yourself into. The affiliate-marketing niche is not an exception.

You constantly see and hear about many snake oil shows where people claim a gateway to instant riches and slide it under the guise of affiliate marketing but let me tell you all it is nothing more than just a snake oil pitch. You see the seminars and courses advertisement claiming to hold the secret to instantaneous wealth. People who want to start an affiliate marketing business will attend these seminars and courses, and pay a lot of money in the hope they will learn something that will thrive their business and a number of times the material will be centered on a theme such as a primer for newbies who want to learn affiliate marketing.

When you consider being part of one of these learning experiences be sure to do your homework on them because there certainly are legitimate seminars as well as those seminars and courses most of the time end up disappointing budding affiliates, and at times even discourage you from going on with your lucrative dream of venturing into the affiliate marketing field. For one, as mentioned the seminars and courses can be quite expensive, not to mention the travel and boarding costs from where you will be taking your course or seminar.

When you get hooked up with the type of seminar that works for you understand that there are many reason these exist and most likely the facilitators will be promoting one of their affiliate marketing resources, such as software or ebook. As such, you would have saved quite a substantial amount of money by simply buying the book online and reading it rather than attending the seminar to be given a summary of what the ebook or software entails.

I have attended a number of seminars where the affiliate information was good and I learned something new be aware that the best affiliate marketing resources are not the seminars or courses, but the software, books and such like things. By simply reading resourceful content about the field of affiliate marketing, you will not only save a lot of money but also gain invaluable insight. Affiliate marketing websites such as eBay has very many step-by-step guides on how to get started in affiliate marketing and can really be of great help.

You will find there are many sources available to you with good resources from sources that include newsletters and magazines, which are mostly free of charge with vital valuable information on the pertinent issue. If you are considering building a career in affiliate marketing, no doubt you need to know what it is you are getting yourself into. Avoid wasting money and start by looking for resources online.

Affiliate Marketing Requires Some Thought

with one comment

You cannot run head on into affiliate marketing without giving it some thought, developing a plan on what product you want to promote and what your marketing plan will be. Think about if this is the road you really want to follow because in some instances making money on the internet with affiliate marketing can be difficult even though the income is the greatest.

In just one short sentence, affiliate marketing is the sale of other people’s products for a commission. You will just find the products you are interested in promoting, set up a good marketing strategy that will enable you to get customers, generate sales and receive commission for the sales.

With the product you are promoting and selling being digital and you would wonder of course how will you get paid for all of the hard work you have done?

When you sign up for an affiliate program, you will receive a unique affiliate link in which your affiliate ID is embedded. It is this unique link that helps in tracking sales that come from you even though the buyers will be redirected to the merchant’s website to make the necessary purchases. With affiliate marketing, you will not really be selling anything – you will simply direct people to the right place to make the purchases they want.

This means that if you want to make money in affiliate marketing, then you need to know how to reach the relevant market and generate targeted traffic. Remember that just a percentage of the people you refer will go ahead and make a purchase, which means that you need to send as many people as possible for you to have meaningful revenue because your affiliate marketing requires some thought for you to be successful.

With your targeted marketing plan you need to be addressing the people that would be the most interested in the product you are promoting because without targeted specific traffic you are just having visitors dropping by without any chance of sales because they are just not interested.

Although you are promoting another person’s products, and your affiliate link will send people to the relevant place to make a purchase, this is not enough. Build a personal website to make your business stand out. Remember that there are many affiliate marketers promoting the same products, and all their links lead people to pages that look exactly the same. Your website will give you a number of advantages.

Making your business unique will help you to be visible in spite of the great competition. Use your website to give potential customers more personalized content that associates your business with you. You will also have the chance to demonstrate your expertise. Remember that no one wants to do business with a novice. Most experienced affiliates use Clickbank affiliate marketing.

Choosing Your Blog Software

with one comment

I had gotten to the airport early as I always do and one of the things on my mind that day was what software do I want to use for my blog. I have done a number of blogs comments online at newspapers, radio stations and television news stations so I wasn’t completely a virgin blogger. With the many software blogging programs I just didn’t have a clue. However, there are many different software packages available which can make selecting a package seem overwhelming. Selecting a software package does not have to be difficult though.

Bloggers can find websites which provide comparison charts for different software packages to simply the decision making process. These charts can save the blogger a great deal of time and effort because they compile a wealth of information into one convenient location. The blogger may still need some additional information before using these comparison charts to make a decision. The article will provide insight into some of this additional information which may be useful such as how to understand the comparison charts, methods for comparing the software packages and tips on selecting a blogging software package.

Those interested in starting or maintaining a blog should fully understand the blogging software criteria before attempting to compare software packages. Some of the criteria it is important to understand include the minimum server requirements, data storage and the post editor. Understanding these criteria is critical to the process of comparing and choosing your blog software.

The minimum server requirements refers to the minimum requirements for the server on which the software is to be installed. In most cases the power and speed of the server is not relevant but instead it depends on the power and speed of the software necessary for the proper operation of the blog software. There may be additional costs associated with this software as well as additional license requirements.

Fall in the Rockies 2007

Data storage is also an important part of evaluating blogging software packages. This may include options such as a flat file, a data file or a database. A flat file refers to storage options in which the full page is pulled each time the blog is requested by a browser. A data file refers to situations in which the data for the blog is inserted into a template when the blog is requested by a browser. A database refers to storage options in which the necessary information is pulled from a flat file and inserted into a template when the blog is requested by a browser.

The post editor is another criterion a blogger may want to investigate carefully before selecting blogging software. The post editor refers to the type of editor which will be used to fill in the posts listed on the blog. These data entry methods may include options such as HTML or JAVA.
Bloggers who are seeking a blogging software package should carefully compare the different software packages available. This is important because obviously some software packages are superior to others. It is also important because some software packages may be better suited for the needs of a particular blog than other packages. When comparing blogging software packages it is important for the blogger to first carefully consider the needs of the blog. This is important because it will help the blogger to realize which criterion is most relevant to his particular blog.

After carefully evaluating blogging software packages, it is time for the blogger to make a decision and select one of the available packages. Ideally the blogger will have already compared important data such as storage space, server requirements and post editors. However, the blogger must also consider other factors such as cost and versatility. Many blogging software packages are available free of charge while there are some which are available for purchase. The blogger will have to decide whether or not it is worthwhile to purchase a software package or whether free software packages will meet his blogging needs.

After considering software criteria and cost, the blogger should consider viewing sample blogs created using a particular software package. This is a good idea because these samples can provide a good indication of the capabilities of the software. This is because in general the higher the quality of the samples, the greater the capabilities of the software.

Affiliate Marketing as a Home Business

with one comment

This is a 2 part Blog because of the length. This is part 2. Part 1 should appear above this and is titled “Affiliate Business at Home”

Where the last article left off was deciding what your domain name was to be and where to host it.

When it comes to domain hosting you want to be sure where it is done for it is critical to get what is the best for your website and I would like to think that GoDaddy is pretty good, so you may want to consider them. I hope you have followed along and picked up what I was laying down. Let us examine where websites like Commission Junction and Clickbank work in to what you are trying to do.

When evaluating the products you should consider those which are selling well, are the most popular but do not go for the ultra popular or you will find the competition is huge. The most important in selecting your first product is to find an affiliate program which has a readymade sales page which will allow you to modify it for your promoting and inserting you information which establishes your home based affiliate business.

To promote your website properly you need to have a predetermined methodology on how you are going to approach this. In the internet world this is referred to as SEO, Search Engine Optimization. This is what will bring people to your website to buy what you are promoting. The way you go about doing SEO for your website will be explained here shortly.

The first element we will cover is blogging, and since you have a domain and hosting platform you can install your blog to the same domain. I love suggesting tools and software but take it to heart you get to circumvent some heartache by getting the end result of my trial and error. Later on when you become a seasoned pro you can determine just how full of it I was or if it was good advice. I would suggest that you use WordPress for your blogging platform for it is powerful, easy to use and understand and everyone is an expert and willing to help. Talking about help, I am willing and available for you and all you need to do is click the link I have below for joining and you will have access to me for help.

Having a passion for what you are doing particularly when it is doing something like writing which could seen like an overwhelming task if you did not like to write or found it difficult writing and if that seems to be where you are at I would suggest that you find a ghost writer and provide them with your keywords and have them do the article writing for you. Actually finding the right ghostwriter is not difficult at all and the cost for them writing your articles really isn’t that much.

To submit your articles for exposure to the internet you need to be a member of a number of article directories with EzineArticles being your primary one. No matter where you submit your articles you need to become very familiar with their Authoring Guidelines. Any deviation from them and they will not publish your article.

Remember this hint on how to write your articles and blogs so that your money (affiliate) website will be their best when being indexed by the search engines. You will need to find a great keyword associated to the product that you are promoting by using the Google keyword tool. The keyword you find will need to be part of your article title and you also will need to mention the keyword at least once in your article. Let us recap the key elements, have your keyword in the article title and once in article you then submit your article to EzineArticles and in the resource box anchor text you reference your blog site and the EzineArticle.

You will now do a blog where you use the same article submitted except you need to mix up the way you wrote it so it is at least 25% different and in the article you reference back to your article using the articles keyword as the anchor text in your blog somehow where it makes sense. For SEO process to be really effective you need to do a minimum of least 30 articles and blogs that are chained by the keyword method. I say 30 because that will get you moving up on the search engine index ranking but your target should always be continuing the keyword chain in many articles and blogs (I have done thousands of each) which will move you up in the search engine result position ranking.

Just a few last suggestions, one being is that is that search engines love videos, so you need to make some simple 2 minute videos which will have links in those resource boxes linking back to your money (affiliate) website. You need to search for common subject blogs and do comments on those blogs with a link back to your blog and money site. Videos, search engines loves videos, again find like subject videos and comment there with a VIDEO COMMENT leaving a link to your blog and money website. Additional research on what I have written with help with understanding what I have said. Caution; do not go on a spending craze for systems to teach you what I have gone through here, there a lots of $3.00 and $7.00 offers of eBooks and reports which will give more tools to work with.

You Can Blog and Make Money

with one comment

Blogging has become a relief for some people who have experienced an economical downfall in these extremely difficult times but you can earn a living online while doing something you really enjoy. In many cases bloggers can blog and make money with very little effort. There may be quite a bit of work involved in the beginning with designing a method of gaining revenue and promoting the website but once this is established simply maintaining the blog with regular postings may be enough for your blogging income. Two of the most popular methods for generating a profit from blogging include advertising methods. This includes advertising with AdSense and securing independent advertisers. This article will discuss these two methods of advertising on a blog.

Using AdSense is one of the most popular ways for bloggers to generate revenue from their blog. This method is so popular because it is also very simple. AdSense is a program offered by Google where bloggers agree to have advertisements on their website and are compensated when users click on these advertisements. Blogger’s simply have to create a blog and submit the website address of the blog as well as some other information to apply for participation in AdSense. Once a blog is approved the owner is given code they can simply copy and paste to have advertisements displayed on their blog. Google then serves appropriate advertisements each time the blog is accessed. Whenever possible, the advertisements served on the blog are closely related to the content of the blog because Google crawls the website ahead of time to determine which advertisements are relevant to the content. Blog owners do have some ability to place restrictions on the types of advertisements which may appear on the blog. For example the blog owner can specify adult advertisements are not to appear on the blog and Google will filter these out.

Many bloggers use advertisements on their blogs to generate a profit. This method of advertising is more difficult than using AdSense but it can be significantly more financially beneficial to the blogger. This method of advertising is similar to the type of targeted advertising often seen in magazines. For example magazines for parents often feature advertisements which will appeal to parents such as advertisements for toys, children’s clothing or foods popular with children. Likewise a magazine for runners may feature advertisements for shoes, athletic clothing, races or training equipment. In these cases the advertisers pay for advertising space in the magazine in the hopes that the magazine’s audience will be enticed to purchase products or services after seeing these advertisements.

Blog owners can use this type of advertising but it can be hard to find willing advertisers. However, there are some factors which may make an advertiser more willing to have an advertisement appear on a blog. One of the most important factors for advertisers is the amount of traffic the blog receives. This is important because advertisers who are paying for ad space are more likely to invest in a blog with high traffic than one with very little traffic.

Another important factor for advertisers is the focus of the blog. Advertisers are more likely to purchase advertising space from a blog with a specific focus of interest to the advertiser’s target audience. Like the examples listed previously of magazines for parents and runners, advertisers want to advertise on a blog which is already reaching the same target audience.

Blogger’s who utilize advertising on their website may be compensated in a number of different ways. Some advertisers may pay a set fee for the advertisement to run on the website for either a set amount of time or for a set number of page views. This means the advertiser may purchase space for a set number of days, weeks or months or may purchase space for a set number of times the advertisement is served to website visitors.

Alternately the advertiser may choose to compensate the blogger according to the number of times specific actions occur for your blogging income. This may include users clicking through the advertisement or users making a purchase after clicking through the advertisement.

There is only so much that can be realized in making money blogging but if this is not terribly convincing that you can blog and make money then there still is divine intervention. Really it is all pretty simple and you will do just fine but you do need to keep up with it.

Pro Blogging Using Humorous E-Mails

without comments


John T Adams, EzineArticles.com Basic Author

I say pro blogging because whenever you are blogging it is usually for some kind of profit, or monetary return in some way from your blog. What I am about to reveal here takes a twist from the scientific way of doing things. A study by Sharpe Partners, an interactive marketing agency, revealed that 89% of adult Internet users in America share content with others via e-mail, which is excellent news for those companies who use self-propelling word-of-mouse e-mail techniques to sell their products.

The study generated some interesting results regarding the type of content that is most often forwarded, as well. The most popular content is humorous material.

The second most popular category is news, followed by healthcare and medical information, religious and spiritual material, games, business and personal finance information and sports/hobbies… in that order. So it is easy to see that humor is the best content for your viral e-mail campaign.

Cartoons, jokes and funny video clips are among the things that can be added to an e-mail to insure that it will go viral. People will want to pass along something that makes them laugh.

They are a lot more likely to hit the forward button and send your email to their friends and relatives if it is an “advertainment” rather than an advertisement.

Not long ago, about 35 million people got an e-mail containing a picture taken in Disneyland. It took a minute to see it but there was Donald Duck lying prone in front of the famous Cinderella Castle. The title of the picture was “Bird Flu has hit Disneyland”. It was a viral e-mail advertising Disneyland and used the edgy strategy of making light of what’s serious… and it works.

I’d guess that most people who own a computer have seen that picture… and thus the advertisement for Disneyland. The bird flu epidemic is newsworthy and has the potential to attract an enormous amount of attention to any brand that might, for whatever reason, associate itself with it.

Remember that people are much more likely to share a joke or a funny picture than anything else so you would be well advised to include humor in your e-mail campaign. If you truly want to be entertained then let me rummage through my picture pile and come up a picture of myself from the day.

After diggin deep I came up with this picture of myself when I was about 10 years old; now that is what I call humorous . . . but seriously this is just a funny picture I found, and is not me at all . . . Really! it isn’t me.

No. 4 in eBay Series – A Beginner’s Guide to the Different eBay Auction Types.

A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
e Writer pro – Professional eBook Creator. Everything you need to create beautiful quality eBooks at the touch of a button. If you are looking for a way to make money on the internet, then the creation of information products is by far the easiest and most rewarding way! An $8 Billion Market, the opportunity of the millennium is – eBooks.

Over the years, eBay has introduced all sorts of different auction types, in an effort to give people more options when they buy and sell their things on eBay.

For every seller who doesn’t like the idea that their item might sell for a far lower price than they intend, there’s another who wants to shift hundreds of the same item quickly. eBay tries to cater to all tastes. This email gives you an overview of the different kinds of auctions and their advantages for you.

Normal Auctions.

These are the bread-and-butter of eBay, the auctions everyone knows: buyers bid, others outbid them, they bid again, and the winner gets the item. Simple.

Reserve Auctions.

Reserve auctions are for sellers who don’t want their items to sell for less than a certain price – a concept you’ll know about if you’re familiar with real auctions. They work just like normal auctions on eBay, except that the buyer will be told if their bid does not meet the reserve price you set, and they’ll need to bid again if they want the item. If no-one is willing to meet your price, then the auction is cancelled, and you keep the item.

Fixed Price (‘Buy it Now’) Auctions.

Buy it Now auctions can work in one of two ways. You can add a Buy it Now button to a normal auction, meaning that buyers can choose either to bid normally or to simply pay the asking price and avoid the whole bidding process. Some sellers, though, now cut out the auction process altogether and simply list all their items at fixed price. This lets you avoid all the complications of the auction format and simply list your items for how much you want them to sell for.

Recently, eBay added a twist to fixed price auctions: the ‘best offer’. This means that buyers can contact you to negotiate a price, which could be a good way to get sell some extra stock at a small discount. The only downside to reserve and fixed price auctions is that you pay a small extra fee to use these formats. In general, it is more worth using reserve auctions for higher-priced items and fixed price auctions for lower-priced ones – but remember that you can combine the two formats.

Multiple Item (‘Dutch’) Auctions.

These are auctions where you can sell more than one of a certain item. Dutch auctions can be done by bidding. Buyers bid a price and say how many items they want, and then everyone pays the lowest price that was bid by one of the winning bidders. If you have trouble getting your head around that, then don’t worry – everyone else does too! These auctions are very rare.

What is more common is when a seller has a lot of one item, and lists it using a combination of two auction types: a multiple-item fixed price auction. This just means that you can just say how many of the item you they have, and offer them at a fixed price per unit. Buyers can enter how many they want and then just click Buy it Now to get them.

Now that you know about the different types of auctions, you should make sure that the items you plan to sell don’t violate eBay’s listing policies. The next email will let you know what’s allowed and what is a big no-no.
