STOP Telemarketers Dead In Their Tracks by Jim Edwards
Picture this: you're sitting down to a quiet meal with
your family one evening.
Just as you reach for the mashed potatoes the phone rings.
It might be your mother calling with news on the upcoming
family reunion, so you make a mad dash for the phone just
in time to catch it before the answering machine picks up.
As you wipe mashed potatoes off the front of your best
shirt you hear an unfamiliar voice on the line start
pitching you about aluminum siding.
You've just experienced what many call "telemarketer hell!"
But, thanks to a new service offered by the FTC (Federal
Trade Commission), this little scenario should happen much
less often in the coming year.
Telemarketers may finally face a law they can't bypass when
it comes to calling consumers on the phone to solicit
business.
By harnessing the power of the Internet to eliminate layers
of paperwork and delays, the FTC created the "National Do
Not Call" registry where consumers can register not to
receive unsolicited sales calls.
Though the law exempts certain political, charitable and
other organizations, it does cover professional tele-
marketing companies and those calling on behalf of those
organizations.
After the plan gets fully implemented in October 2003, any
company found violating the law will face fines of up to
$11,000 per call.
Despite the fact the registry does not eliminate all
unsolicited calls, it does seem a wise move to sign up
(unless you enjoy chatting with telemarketers over your
mashed potatoes).
Log on to www.donotcall.gov and click the "Register a Phone
Number" link.
The service allows you to register up to 3 phone numbers,
so you can even put your cell phone on the do not call
list.
Once you register a phone number, the website will send you
a confirmation email with a link you must click before your
phone number gets added to the database.
Some common questions people ask about the National Do Not
Call Registry include:
How soon after I register will I notice a reduction in
calls?
If you register by August 31, 2003, you will start
receiving fewer telemarketing calls by October 1, 2003.
If you register after September 1, 2003, telemarketers
covered by the National Do Not Call Registry will have up
to three months from the date you register to stop calling
you.
How long until my phone number shows up in the registry?
After you register, your phone number will be available for
telemarketers to remove it from their call lists by the
next day.
Telemarketers will have up to three months to get your
phone number and remove it from their call lists.
What if a telemarketer calls me after I've signed up?
As long as you have the telemarketer's company name or
phone number you can file a complaint online through the
"File a Complaint" page on the www.donotcall.gov website.

How To Use the Multiplier Effect in Web Marketing by Michael Southon
One of the most exciting things about doing business
online is the Multiplier Effect. It's the principal
factor behind some of the fortunes that have been made
on the Internet.
How does it work?
The Multiplier Effect occurs when your marketing
technique either:
A) replicates itself over and over again, or
B) feeds into other marketing techniques
A classic example of the first kind of Multiplier
Effect is the Free E-Book.
Ten people download your Free E-book and offer it from
their websites. Those ten people each get downloads
and it's now being offered on 100 websites, and so on.
The second type of Multiplier Effect occurs when one
marketing technique results in benefits from another
marketing technique.
A good example of this is Link Exchange.
Let's say you get links on 100 different websites.
When the Search Engines spider those websites, they
find your link. Your 'link popularity' then increases
and as a result, your ranking in the Search Engines
goes up.
This kind of Multiplier Effect often results in a
'feedback loop'.
Because your website now ranks higher in the Search
Engines, more people want to exchange links with you.
You now have links on 300 different websites. This in
turn gives you an even higher ranking in the Search
Engines, and so on.
Some marketing techniques have no Multiplier Effect.
For example, posting to FFA sites - after only a few
hours your ad drops off the FFA site and you have to
start again.
One of the most powerful Multiplier Effects I know of
occurs when you write Ezine Articles.
The main purpose in writing Ezine Articles is to get
them published in Ezines. And that on its own will
bring you a lot of highly targeted traffic. But the
benefits don't stop there.
When your Articles are posted on other people's
websites you get free links (from your Resource Box)
back to your website - more traffic. This increases
your link popularity and so your ranking in the Search
Engines goes up - more traffic. Eventually you'll find
your Articles appearing in Free E-Books - even more
traffic.
As you can see, this kind of Multiplier Effect rapidly
builds up its own momentum - after a certain point
it's virtually unstoppable.
Here are 2 ways you could start using the Multiplier
Effect:
1) Launch a Free E-Book
Start collecting Ezine Articles on a particular topic.
The topic could be 'Search Engine Positioning',
'Website Design', 'Affiliate Programs', 'Ad Writing',
'Choosing a Web Host', or it could be on 'Parenting',
'Gardening' etc.
When you have about 25 good Articles on your chosen
topic, contact the Authors and ask their permission to
include their Articles in your Free E-Book (with the
Author's Resource Box).
Make sure your free E-Book has plenty of links back to
your website.
The secret to making this technique work is to ensure
that your Free E-Book is closely related to the theme
of your website. For example, if you market 'Search
Engine Submission' tools from your website, an
excellent topic for your Free E-Book would be 'Search
Engine Positioning'.
Here's a tip that will help you find out exactly how
much traffic you're getting from your Free E-Book.
Make a copy of your index page and re-name it
something else, such as:
http://www.yourdomain.com/free-ebook.html
In your Free E-Book, instead of linking to your home
page (index.html), link to the duplicate home page
(free-ebook.html). This way, you'll be able to check
in your webstats exactly how many visitors are coming
to your website from your Free E-Book.
Include a short note on the index page of your Free
E-Book telling people that they are welcome to give
away your E-Book from their website.
Then submit your Free E-Book to these directories:
http://www.zdnet.com
http://www.upload.com
http://www.ebooksnbytes.com
http://ebooks.searchking.com
http://www.free-ebooks.net/
http://www.reportsearch.com/
http://www.ebookdirectory.com/
http://www.ldpublishing.com/index1.html
2) Write Ezine Articles
Whatever you do on the Web, you must have picked up
dozens of tips along the way - tips that would be very
useful to other people who are just starting out.
Turn those tips into a series of articles, give them
catchy titles and submit them to these 'article
announcement lists' (you'll have to subscribe first):
mailto:article_announce-subscribe@egroups.com
mailto:aabusiness-subscribe@egroups.com
mailto:aageneral-subscribe@egroups.com
mailto:aainet-subscribe@egroups.com
mailto:Free-Content-subscribe@egroups.com
mailto:articles_archives-subscribe@egroups.com
mailto:PublishInYours-subscribe@egroups.com
mailto:publisher_network-subscribe@egroups.com
mailto:ArticlePublish-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
mailto:subportal-subscribe@egroups.com
Then put your articles on autoresponder and submit
them to these 'online article archives':
http://www.ezinearticles.com/add_url.html
http://www.ideamarketers.com/
http://www.mega-success.com/articles/submit.shtml
http://cyberprosper.com/submit.shtml
http://www.womans-net.com
http://www.connectionteam.com/submit.html
http://www.netterweb.com/articles/
http://article_depot.50megs.com/
http://www.ezadsuccess.com/articles/submit.shtml
Think of your Articles and Free E-Books as seeds -
scatter them around and then watch them bear fruit and
multiply.

How To Use the Multiplier Effect in Web Marketing by Michael Southon
One of the most exciting things about doing business
online is the Multiplier Effect. It's the principal
factor behind some of the fortunes that have been made
on the Internet.
How does it work?
The Multiplier Effect occurs when your marketing
technique either:
A) replicates itself over and over again, or
B) feeds into other marketing techniques
A classic example of the first kind of Multiplier
Effect is the Free E-Book.
Ten people download your Free E-book and offer it from
their websites. Those ten people each get downloads
and it's now being offered on 100 websites, and so on.
The second type of Multiplier Effect occurs when one
marketing technique results in benefits from another
marketing technique.
A good example of this is Link Exchange.
Let's say you get links on 100 different websites.
When the Search Engines spider those websites, they
find your link. Your 'link popularity' then increases
and as a result, your ranking in the Search Engines
goes up.
This kind of Multiplier Effect often results in a
'feedback loop'.
Because your website now ranks higher in the Search
Engines, more people want to exchange links with you.
You now have links on 300 different websites. This in
turn gives you an even higher ranking in the Search
Engines, and so on.
Some marketing techniques have no Multiplier Effect.
For example, posting to FFA sites - after only a few
hours your ad drops off the FFA site and you have to
start again.
One of the most powerful Multiplier Effects I know of
occurs when you write Ezine Articles.
The main purpose in writing Ezine Articles is to get
them published in Ezines. And that on its own will
bring you a lot of highly targeted traffic. But the
benefits don't stop there.
When your Articles are posted on other people's
websites you get free links (from your Resource Box)
back to your website - more traffic. This increases
your link popularity and so your ranking in the Search
Engines goes up - more traffic. Eventually you'll find
your Articles appearing in Free E-Books - even more
traffic.
As you can see, this kind of Multiplier Effect rapidly
builds up its own momentum - after a certain point
it's virtually unstoppable.
Here are 2 ways you could start using the Multiplier
Effect:
1) Launch a Free E-Book
Start collecting Ezine Articles on a particular topic.
The topic could be 'Search Engine Positioning',
'Website Design', 'Affiliate Programs', 'Ad Writing',
'Choosing a Web Host', or it could be on 'Parenting',
'Gardening' etc.
When you have about 25 good Articles on your chosen
topic, contact the Authors and ask their permission to
include their Articles in your Free E-Book (with the
Author's Resource Box).
Make sure your free E-Book has plenty of links back to
your website.
The secret to making this technique work is to ensure
that your Free E-Book is closely related to the theme
of your website. For example, if you market 'Search
Engine Submission' tools from your website, an
excellent topic for your Free E-Book would be 'Search
Engine Positioning'.
Here's a tip that will help you find out exactly how
much traffic you're getting from your Free E-Book.

to your website from your Free E-Book.
Include a short note on the index page of your Free
E-Book telling people that they are welcome to give
away your E-Book from their website.
Then submit your Free E-Book to these directories:
http://www.zdnet.com
http://www.upload.com

| 3 Internet Marketing Secrets You Can Learn | Published on 29-01-2006 |
| By Muhammad Shariq | |
 | |
Resource Muhammad Shariq is the Preside The guy I'm talking about is.. Mike Filsaime. You've probably heard of him. But did you ever stop to think what made this guy a success?? I did - and I found 3 powerful secrets of his success that I reveal below. Don't just take it them as Mike Filsaime's secrets. Make them YOURS & go on to even greater success. The first one is.. ==> 1- Mike invests a lot - in himself. There's a saying by Abraham Lincoln that goes.. 'The best investment you make is in yourself'. I think Mike read that too! A while ago I read a forum post by him, in reply to a person who asked if high-priced home-study course are any good. In that post Mike listed a DOZEN of high-priced courses + seminars he invested in. Mike & other TOP marketers think like this: If I can get just ONE profitable technique out of this course, the cost of the course would pay off many times over. Secondly, Top internet marketers reveal their best-kept money-making secrets in those courses. So they learn how the other top guys make money& then they go do it themselves! Makes sense, doesn't it? And it's not that Mike earns big so he's able to invest in high-priced courses. Actually it's the OTHER way round. Mike invests in himself & that's why he earns big. And here's PROOF. Mike had been struggling hard when Mark Joyner's 'Farewell Package' came out. (In case you don't know Mark Joyner, he's Internet Marketing's Legendary Multi-millionaire who has retired now.) Mike's budget was extremely tight & it was real hard to come up with the money to invest in this high-priced course. And yeah the course was selling for $997! But that didn't let Mike stop. He bought that package paying for it by *3* credit cards!! And it was because of that package that Mike got his first Big break online! So don't be afraid to invest in high-priced courses. Most such courses give you a whole SYSTEM to make money. Which is half the battle won & makes it a LOT easier to get your BIG break online. Mike Filsaime is a living proof of this. ==> 2- Mike has the balls. Mike had to experience a time when his life was really low. He was in debt & lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in a real estate investment firm. He also suffered foreclosures of homes and repossession of vehicles just to name a few things. But he got back - stronger than ever. Because he had a dream of a better life & he didn't let go of it. Billions of people, I repeat,.. BILLIONS of people on this earth let go of their dreams. But Mike had the balls to go for it. From selling $47 stuff to $197 to stuff in the $500 range to even higher prices, Mike kept growing bigger & bigger. He was bold enough to buy a viral website (InstantBuzz.com) for a HUGE sum. And today he's enjoying a passive income from it. It takes 5-10 years before most internet marketers become big enough to organize their own seminars. But Mike organized the successful seminar "Internet Marketing Main Event" after being online for just 2 years. Mike dreams BIG. And if YOU want to make it BIG in life, you better start dreaming BIG too. The reality is,.. just like Mike - you already have big dreams! It's just a matter of accepting them & going after them. I say - Go for it! ==> 3- Mike DID it! After being a great person, a generous soul, a person who invested in himself & dreamt big,.. Mike also DID it. He did what it takes to make it BIG. He didn't just sit yoga-style & practice some wishful-thinking. He learned what he had to & then went ahead to do it. Even Mark Joyner, that Internet Marketing millionaire I told you about, said that he meant no offense to any of the 'Farewell Package' owners but Mike was one of the few who actually put the stuff into great use. There are a lot of 'gurus' out there, 'teaching' Viral marketing & stuff; but they don't have any big success. No offense to them but this guy didn't 'talk' about it - he went out there & won the game - BIG time! People were stunned when in a seminar, Mike stood up and explained how he had implemented a concept that was being explained in the previous lecture - and already had some results to share! Talk about being ACTION-oriented! Today Mike has got more than a dozen profitable moneymaking websites. From InstantBuzz.com to Listdotcom.com to FiresaleSecrets.com & more. He built a 300,000+ member opt-in list & made over $635,000 this year plus $350,000 by selling affiliate products & some more from the speaking gigs and his own internet marketing seminar. While launching his course "Butterfly Marketing" he even made a VIDEO of his Paypal & Stormpay accounts, to put the 'nay-sayers' to rest. (BTW, that had NEVER been done in the internet marketing industry before. It shocked a lot of people as Mike showed them both - the good & the BAD months!) Mike went from making 17 cents online in January 2004 to making more than $82,385.19 just last month,.. in December 2005. That's the kind of success this guy has achieved. And it happened because Mike gave it all he had & did whatever it took to make it Big. I truly believe it's DEFINITELY possible for many others, including YOU! So if you haven't geared up yet for your BIG break online,.. NOW is the BEST time to do it. You CAN make it Big! | |

Anyone who makes money online will tell you that you need to
build an opt-in list. All you do is give away a free ebook,
report or other item of value to get people to subscribe to your
list. It sounds simple and it is.
But once you start building your list, what do you do with it?
Build a relationship with your list members! Tell them a little
about yourself. Send them free valuable content in the form of
articles, ebooks or reports. Let them get to know you, like you
and trust you. Become their friend, someone whose opinion they
value.
After you've built a relationship they'll be ready to buy from
you because they'll trust you to recommend quality products.
It's OK to send them sales messages.
I can hear some of you objecting to that last part...
"I can't do that to my list!"
Let me ask you this... Why do you think everyone says you need
your own list?
The answer... Because they know the meaning of the phrase "the
money is in the list" by seeing it first-hand.
It's a fact that when list owners send out an endorsement email
to their lists, they bring in a tremendous amount of cash from
the mailing... and they create cash on demand any time they want
by sending out an email.
Many list owners sell solo ads, thus the advertisers are paying
to "borrow" the list to make sales. So if you allow others to
"borrow" your list for the purpose of making sales, why
shouldn't you sell products to your list, too?
Which would you rather do - make $10 from selling a solo ad or
send your own endorsement and make hundreds of dollars or more?
I was speaking with a publisher friend recently and he mentioned
selling an occasional solo ad. I asked why he doesn't send his
own sales messages to his list. (I'm on his list so I know he
doesn't.)
His reply was "Not my list. They're so unresponsive!"
"What have you offered?" I asked.
"I tried that software package one time, remember?"
As I recall, the software was offered over a year ago and he
hasn't sent a sales message since then. It's likely his list
wasn't interested in that particular product, but that doesn't
mean they won't buy something else from him. He's been leaving
money on the table all this time.
You must find out what your list members want, then offer it to
them. I guarantee they're buying products from someone. Why not
get them to buy from you?
You can find out what they want by doing a simple survey every
once in awhile. Ask what would make their life easier or help
them get their business off the ground. Find out what they want
to know more about... Google AdSense income, how to create web
sites, etc.
Learn what they want to buy, then sell it to them. It's that
simple and it applies to any niche market. You'll be giving them
what they want, they'll have products they need and everyone
will be happy.
The day of the week, and even the time of day, you send your
messages also affect responsiveness. Many studies have been done
that show the best times and days to send emails, but you should
test your list yourself. Once you discover when they're the most
responsive, stick with that schedule for maximum results.
Your list is pure gold. The key to mining the gold requires some
trial and error, but it's well worth the effort on your part.
And remember, these people joined your list to get quality
information and that includes product recommendations.

Life Changing Home Organizing Ideas Published on 29-01-2006

Resource Rebekah Slatkin is the founder of Club Organized and is able to organize even the most cluttered, unmotivated person! Get free access to DECORganize, the how to want to get organized and STAY that way, system.Includes FREE BONUSES and more!

I want to ask you a question. You may not like the answer though. Can you call your home a retreat, sanctuary, or any of these loving words? Does it comfort you and keep you going in this world of many challenges? Do you walk into your home and feel the stress melt away? Are you able to tap into your potential and talents and actualize on inspiration you may receive in and out of your home? Is your need for relief, relaxation, and safety met here?
In other words, how do you feel when you are driving home or walking through the door?
There may be differing answers for you and for the other members in your home. You, perhaps, do not feel recharged or reenergized from your home. That may be due to your overwhelming number of responsibilities in the home- feeding everyone, cleaning the home, taking care of the housework, doing the laundry, cooking, etc. You still, however, need to be able to recharge your batteries in order to be able to take care of everyone else.
You know how in an airplane, the flight attendants tell you to put your oxygen mask on first before any childs’. Your needs need to come first.
If you answered “No” to the questions I asked you about whether your home is a rejuvenating place for you, it is time to create the home that I describe above. You deserve it and need it.
To read more about why many of us have not been able to get organized in the P.A.S.T, go to www.cluborganized.com and become a free member.
I’ll briefly review my acronym P.A.S.T. so it makes sense to you.
P stands for clutter Personality Types. The 3 basic types are Thinker, Doer, and Feeler. These 3 types come from the three parts of the brain, actually.
Thinker-You are highly intelligent, self-critical or apologetic, compare yourself to others, and often a procrastinator due to your perfectionist nature. You are excellent with coming up with solutions, practical problems and thinking in abstract terms. Are you cautious and careful? Do you struggle with making decisions? Your complex, deliberated thought process and analysis perhaps seems “slow” to others.
Doer- You are creative, fast-paced, full of ideas, often shift from one thing to another, not really sticking to any particular system. Looking for the newest way to “cut corners”. Do you lose interest easily, seeming inconsistent to others, have a hard time focusing? It’s torture for you to think about working only on one thing at a time. You love beautiful things and want them so much, you’ll go back to the store and get it.
Feeler-It’s hard for you to say no. You feel sentimental about many objects, you are people-oriented, often concerned about hurting people’s feelings. It’s tough for you to make time for yourself. Your home is made up of bits and pieces of your family.
There’s another feeler category. A feeler/nurturer takes pride that others depend on you. Do you have an image of how you want your home to look and a preconceived notion to how it “should” be? Listening to others tell you how to change your home feels a little threatening.
-A stands for attitudes that work against us.
-S stands for sociological and inherited beliefs we have about ourselves and our clutter, i.e., self criticism, guilt.
-T is for the technical difficulties in your home, such as not liking the space or not enough lighting in a room.
Why did I start with the mushy talk before I told you the practical steps for how to organize? Because, changes begin from inside. As Hannah Kelley says of The Art of Home, “Until you understand the reasons behind your behaviors, you will never be able to permanently change.”
I hope you’ve perhaps identified with one of the Personality types or recognize some of the attitudes (last issue) that work against you, you may be holding. Because, if you do, now we can get started formulating a customized plan on how to organize. It’s like a movie. You may like action while your spouse hates action movies. Your preferences are different than the next persons.
However, movies are made with basic overall guidelines, introduction, plot, climax, resolution (like a book) and these general principles, do work in fact for many people while the different movie genres are preferred by diverse individuals.
I have an organizing method that I find works to get people organized. I will explain my theory and then customize the action steps according to your Clutter Personality Type-thinker, doer, and feeler. Like the movie.
I call it DECORganize™. I recently formulated this principle after years of watching different types of people struggle with wanting to get organized, doing it, and staying organized. If you are a doer/creative person, you are going to love DECORganize™. A thinker or feeler can stretch to do this, and only positive rewards will be the result.
It’s hard to feel the motivation to organize. Yes, clutter is like a spreading mass (pardon the analogy, but it is). It is dangerous, harmful, and continues to grow unless thwarted by continuous efforts to monitor it and remove. STILL, thinking of clutter this way is often is not enough to push people to organize.
I love how Hannah Keeley, author of The Art of Home puts it. We still don’t feel motivated to remove clutter even when seeing it as dangerous and growing because clutter is comforting. Hannah says, “We all have “creature comforts”. Thinkers like to buy lots of books and software. You like having the power of knowledge to handle a situation. Nurturer/Feelers like to buy gifts for the kids or the home. Doers like to buy beautiful things and tools that teach skills or “cut corners.” And once we accumulate all of this stuff, it’s so hard to want to get rid of it or organize it, because it is comfortable to be surrounded by all this stuff we like.
Getting out of your comfort zone is hard. I know! I also know that getting rid of clutter is exhilarating. Talk to anyone who has recently undergone a purging job. They’ll tell you how much better they feel. Guaranteed.
No longer do I have to really push people to organize or even find the motivation to organize. That’s because ™ is a motivator in itself. I’m finding, that when people (especially creative doers) create beautifully decorated small areas or corners of their homes first, they are then motivated to organize and stay that way.
Does this sound backwards? Decorating and rearranging before organizing? It kind of is. But it provides INSTANT rewards and DECORganize gratification and that is what people want today.
How to do it?
Start here. Decide which room is most important to begin loving? Your bedroom? I like to start here because where you sleep is where you recharge, get inspiration, etc. It is the basis for everything else that happens in your home. If you are not happy, no one else in your family will be happy.
Start with a clean slate and start small if you are currently living below clutter. Maybe just your bed you’ll DECORganize™.
You can use 4 boxes or even laundry baskets, and trashbags for putting all surrounding clutter away.
Move all the clutter around the bed or in the bedroom into one of these containers. If you don’t want to sort now, then literally take your arm, and go around sweeping all clutter off of your dresser tops, nightstands, and the floor…into a box. Get it out of site. You’ll deal with it later. (We'll use Julie Morgenstern's SPACE formula to deal with the clutter).
Rearrange furniture in the most beautiful way. Go find pillows and a bedspread you love and add color to your bedroom.
Thinkers-don’t waste time figuring out the best way to do this. Decide on a plan of action-ex. You have until Wednesday by 3PM to go to HomeGoods and pick out a beautiful bedspread with coordinating pillows.
Nurturers/Feelers-Even if you are not sure it is going to match, put something you love on the bed. You can always change it later. It doesn’t have to coordinate with anything else in the house. Just do it.
Doers-You probably have something around the house that can serve this purpose. I know you’ll have no trouble with this step. If you do have things lying around that could potentially decorate the bed and you want to buy new ones, then you need to force yourself to purge at least the same amount of things you are buying.
Yes! You now have an area that is beautifully decorated. Decorating and decluttering by removing everything else in the space is going to force you to organize. By organize I mean sorting through the clutter you removed and asking yourself if you love it. Let me say though, once you see how beautiful your room turned out, you most likely won’t even want to deal with what is in the box.
Even if the rest of your home is full of clutter, wouldn’t it be great to own little areas that look like some of the magazine pictures you love? A dressing area with a makeup table, a reading corner, or a Martha Stewart like linen closet? A photography station or a correspondence area stocked with stationary, stamps, pens, and stickers?
Start small. If you need more ideas of what and how to create the little areas, cut pictures that you love out of magazines.
Thinkers- get your strategy down pat and then do it before a deadline or before the timer rings.
Doers-ask a thinker for assistance with your strategy and then run with it.
Nurturer/Feeler-make it work for the whole family. Let your nurturer float around the areas you DECORganize, instead of the entire house.
For more ideas on areas in your home to DECORganize, I’m sending you my free Organizing from A-Z Design Pak as a bonus.
By the way, when you signed up for the SECRETS of DECORganize, you will now be the first to know when my book, How to DECORganize every room in your home comes out. That means discounts and coupons just to you!

Are you able to tap into your potential and talents and actualize on inspiration you may receive in and out of your home? Is your need for relief, relaxation, and safety met here?
In other words, how do you feel when you are driving home or walking through the door?
There may be differing answers for you and for the other members in your home. You, perhaps, do not feel recharged or reenergized from your home. That may be due to your overwhelming number of responsibilities in the home- feeding everyone, cleaning the home, taking care of the housework, doing the laundry, cooking, etc. You still, however, need to be able to recharge your batteries in order to be able to take care of everyone else.
You know how in an airplane, the flight attendants tell you to put your oxygen mask on first before any childs’. Your needs need to come first.
If you answered “No” to the questions I asked you about whether your home is a rejuvenating place for you, it is time to create the home that I describe above. You deserve it and need it.
To read more about why many of us have not been able to get organized in the P.A.S.T, go to www.cluborganized.com and become a free member.
I’ll briefly review my acronym P.A.S.T. so it makes sense to you.
P stands for clutter Personality Types. The 3 basic types are Thinker, Doer, and Feeler. These 3 types come from the three parts of the brain, actually.
Thinker-You are highly intelligent, self-critical or apologetic, compare yourself to others, and often a procrastinator due to your perfectionist nature. You are excellent with coming up with solutions, practical problems and thinking in abstract terms. Are you cautious and careful? Do you struggle with making decisions? Your complex, deliberated thought process and analysis perhaps seems “slow” to others.
Doer- You are creative, fast-paced, full of ideas, often shift from one thing to another, not really sticking to any particular system. Looking for the newest way to “cut corners”. Do you lose interest easily, seeming inconsistent to others, have a hard time focusing? It’s torture for you to think about working only on one thing at a time. You love beautiful things and want them so much, you’ll go back to the store and get it.
Feeler-It’s hard for you to say no. You feel sentimental about many objects, you are people-oriented, often concerned about hurting people’s feelings. It’s tough for you to make time for yourself. Your home is made up of bits and pieces of your family.
There’s another feeler category. A feeler/nurturer takes pride that others depend on you. Do you have an image of how you want your home to look and a preconceived notion to how it “should” be? Listening to others tell you how to change your home feels a little threatening.
-A stands for attitudes that work against us.
-S stands for sociological and inherited beliefs we have about ourselves and our clutter, i.e., self criticism, guilt.
-T is for the technical difficulties in your home, such as not liking the space or not enough lighting in a room.
Why did I start with the mushy talk before I told you the practical steps for how to organize? Because, changes begin from inside. As Hannah Kelley says of The Art of Home, “Until you understand the reasons behind your behaviors, you will never be able to permanently change.”
I hope you’ve perhaps identified with one of the Personality types or recognize some of the attitudes (last issue) that work against you, you may be holding. Because, if you do, now we can get started formulating a customized plan on how to organize. It’s like a movie. You may like action while your spouse hates action movies. Your preferences are different than the next persons.
However, movies are made with basic overall guidelines, introduction, plot, climax, resolution (like a book) and these general principles, do work in fact for many people while the different movie genres are preferred by diverse individuals.
I have an organizing method that I find works to get people organized. I will explain my theory and then customize the action steps according to your Clutter Personality Type-thinker, doer, and feeler. Like the movie.
I call it DECORganize™. I recently formulated this principle after years of watching different types of people struggle with wanting to get organized, doing it, and staying organized. If you are a doer/creative person, you are going to love DECORganize™. A thinker or feeler can stretch to do this, and only positive rewards will be the result.
It’s hard to feel the motivation to organize. Yes, clutter is like a spreading mass (pardon the analogy, but it is). It is dangerous, harmful, and continues to grow unless thwarted by continuous efforts to monitor it and remove. STILL, thinking of clutter this way is often is not enough to push people to organize.
I love how Hannah Keeley, author of The Art of Home puts it. We still don’t feel motivated to remove clutter even when seeing it as dangerous and growing because clutter is comforting. Hannah says, “We all have “creature comforts”. Thinkers like to buy lots of books and software. You like having the power of knowledge to handle a situation. Nurturer/Feelers like to buy gifts for the kids or the home. Doers like to buy beautiful things and tools that teach skills or “cut corners.” And once we accumulate all of this stuff, it’s so hard to want to get rid of it or organize it, because it is comfortable to be surrounded by all this stuff we like.
Getting out of your comfort zone is hard. I know! I also know that getting rid of clutter is exhilarating. Talk to anyone who has recently undergone a purging job. They’ll tell you how much better they feel. Guaranteed.
No longer do I have to really push people to organize or even find the motivation to organize. That’s because ™ is a motivator in itself. I’m finding, that when people (especially creative doers) create beautifully decorated small areas or corners of their homes first, they are then motivated to organize and stay that way.
Does this sound backwards? Decorating and rearranging before organizing? It kind of is. But it provides INSTANT rewards and DECORganize gratification and that is what people want today.
How to do it?
Start here. Decide which room is most important to begin loving? Your bedroom? I like to start here because where you sleep is where you recharge, get inspiration, etc. It is the basis for everything else that happens in your home. If you are not happy, no one else in your family will be happy.
Start with a clean slate and start small if you are currently living below clutter. Maybe just your bed you’ll DECORganize™.
You can use 4 boxes or even laundry baskets, and trashbags for putting all surrounding clutter away.
Move all the clutter around the bed or in the bedroom into one of these containers. If you don’t want to sort now, then literally take your arm, and go around sweeping all clutter off of your dresser tops, nightstands, and the floor…into a box. Get it out of site. You’ll deal with it later. (We'll use Julie Morgenstern's SPACE formula to deal with the clutter).
Rearrange furniture in the most beautiful way. Go find pillows and a bedspread you love and add color to your bedroom.
Thinkers-don’t waste time figuring out the best way to do this. Decide on a plan of action-ex. You have until Wednesday by 3PM to go to HomeGoods and pick out a beautiful bedspread with coordinating pillows.
Nurturers/Feelers-Even if you are not sure it is going to match, put something you love on the bed. You can always change it later. It doesn’t have to coordinate with anything else in the house. Just do it.
Doers-You probably have something around the house that can serve this purpose. I know you’ll have no trouble with this step. If you do have things lying around that could potentially decorate the bed and you want to buy new ones, then you need to force yourself to purge at least the same amount of things you are buying.
Yes! You now have an area that is beautifully decorated. Decorating and decluttering by removing everything else in the space is going to force you to organize. By organize I mean sorting through the clutter you removed and asking yourself if you love it. Let me say though, once you see how beautiful your room turned out, you most likely won’t even want to deal with what is in the box.
Even if the rest of your home is full of clutter, wouldn’t it be great to own little areas that look like some of the magazine pictures you love? A dressing area with a makeup table, a reading corner, or a Martha Stewart like linen closet? A photography station or a correspondence area stocked with stationary, stamps, pens, and stickers?
Start small. If you need more ideas of what and how to create the little areas, cut pictures that you love out of magazines.
Thinkers- get your strategy down pat and then do it before a deadline or before the timer rings.
Doers-ask a thinker for assistance with your strategy and then run with it.
Nurturer/Feeler-make it work for the whole family. Let your nurturer float around the areas you DECORganize, instead of the entire house.
For more ideas on areas in your home to DECORganize, I’m sending you my free Organizing from A-Z Design Pak as a bonus.
By the way, when you signed up for the SECRETS of DECORganize, you will now be the first to know when my book, How to DECORganize every room in your home comes out. That means discounts and coupons just to you!

It’s hard to feel the motivation to organize. Yes, clutter is like a spreading mass (pardon the analogy, but it is). It is dangerous, harmful, and continues to grow unless thwarted by continuous efforts to monitor it and remove. STILL, thinking of clutter this way is often is not enough to push people to organize.
I love how Hannah Keeley, author of The Art of Home puts it. We still don’t feel motivated to remove clutter even when seeing it as dangerous and growing because clutter is comforting. Hannah says, “We all have “creature comforts”. Thinkers like to buy lots of books and software. You like having the power of knowledge to handle a situation. Nurturer/Feelers like to buy gifts for the kids or the home. Doers like to buy beautiful things and tools that teach skills or “cut corners.” And once we accumulate all of this stuff, it’s so hard to want to get rid of it or organize it, because it is comfortable to be surrounded by all this stuff we like.
Getting out of your comfort zone is hard. I know! I also know that getting rid of clutter is exhilarating. Talk to anyone who has recently undergone a purging job. They’ll tell you how much better they feel. Guaranteed.
No longer do I have to really push people to organize or even find the motivation to organize. That’s because ™ is a motivator in itself. I’m finding, that when people (especially creative doers) create beautifully decorated small areas or corners of their homes first, they are then motivated to organize and stay that way.
Does this sound backwards? Decorating and rearranging before organizing? It kind of is. But it provides INSTANT rewards and DECORganize gratification and that is what people want today.
How to do it?
Start here. Decide which room is most important to begin loving? Your bedroom? I like to start here because where you sleep is where you recharge, get inspiration, etc. It is the basis for everything else that happens in your home. If you are not happy, no one else in your family will be happy.
Start with a clean slate and start small if you are currently living below clutter. Maybe just your bed you’ll DECORganize™.
You can use 4 boxes or even laundry baskets, and trashbags for putting all surrounding clutter away.
Move all the clutter around the bed or in the bedroom into one of these containers. If you don’t want to sort now, then literally take your arm, and go around sweeping all clutter off of your dresser tops, nightstands, and the floor…into a box. Get it out of site. You’ll deal with it later. (We'll use Julie Morgenstern's SPACE formula to deal with the clutter).
Rearrange furniture in the most beautiful way. Go find pillows and a bedspread you love and add color to your bedroom.
Thinkers-don’t waste time figuring out the best way to do this. Decide on a plan of action-ex. You have until Wednesday by 3PM to go to HomeGoods and pick out a beautiful bedspread with coordinating pillows.
Nurturers/Feelers-Even if you are not sure it is going to match, put something you love on the bed. You can always change it later. It doesn’t have to coordinate with anything else in the house. Just do it.
Doers-You probably have something around the house that can serve this purpose. I know you’ll have no trouble with this step. If you do have things lying around that could potentially decorate the bed and you want to buy new ones, then you need to force yourself to purge at least the same amount of things you are buying.
Yes! You now have an area that is beautifully decorated. Decorating and decluttering by removing everything else in the space is going to force you to organize. By organize I mean sorting through the clutter you removed and asking yourself if you love it. Let me say though, once you see how beautiful your room turned out, you most likely won’t even want to deal with what is in the box.
Even if the rest of your home is full of clutter, wouldn’t it be great to own little areas that look like some of the magazine pictures you love? A dressing area with a makeup table, a reading corner, or a Martha Stewart like linen closet? A photography station or a correspondence area stocked with stationary, stamps, pens, and stickers?
Start small. If you need more ideas of what and how to create the little areas, cut pictures that you love out of magazines.
Thinkers- get your strategy down pat and then do it before a deadline or before the timer rings.
Doers-ask a thinker for assistance with your strategy and then run with it.
Nurturer/Feeler-make it work for the whole family. Let your nurturer float around the areas you DECORganize, instead of the entire house.

I want to ask you a question. You may not like the answer though. Can you call your home a retreat, sanctuary, or any of these loving words? Does it comfort you and keep you going in this world of many challenges? Do you walk into your home and feel the stress melt away? Are you able to tap into your potential and talents and actualize on inspiration you may receive in and out of your home? Is your need for relief, relaxation, and safety met here?
In other words, how do you feel when you are driving home or walking through the door?
There may be differing answers for you and for the other members in your home. You, perhaps, do not feel recharged or reenergized from your home. That may be due to your overwhelming number of responsibilities in the home- feeding everyone, cleaning the home, taking care of the housework, doing the laundry, cooking, etc. You still, however, need to be able to recharge your batteries in order to be able to take care of everyone else.
You know how in an airplane, the flight attendants tell you to put your oxygen mask on first before any childs’. Your needs need to come first.
If you answered “No” to the questions I asked you about whether your home is a rejuvenating place for you, it is time to create the home that I describe above. You deserve it and need it.
To read more about why many of us have not been able to get organized in the P.A.S.T, go to www.cluborganized.com and become a free member.
I’ll briefly review my acronym P.A.S.T. so it makes sense to you.
P stands for clutter Personality Types. The 3 basic types are Thinker, Doer, and Feeler. These 3 types come from the three parts of the brain, actually.
Thinker-You are highly intelligent, self-critical or apologetic, compare yourself to others, and often a procrastinator due to your perfectionist nature. You are excellent with coming up with solutions, practical problems and thinking in abstract terms. Are you cautious and careful? Do you struggle with making decisions? Your complex, deliberated thought process and analysis perhaps seems “slow” to others.
Doer- You are creative, fast-paced, full of ideas, often shift from one thing to another, not really sticking to any particular system. Looking for the newest way to “cut corners”. Do you lose interest easily, seeming inconsistent to others, have a hard time focusing? It’s torture for you to think about working only on one thing at a time. You love beautiful things and want them so much, you’ll go back to the store and get it.
Feeler-It’s hard for you to say no. You feel sentimental about many objects, you are people-oriented, often concerned about hurting people’s feelings. It’s tough for you to make time for yourself. Your home is made up of bits and pieces of your family.
There’s another feeler category. A feeler/nurturer takes pride that others depend on you. Do you have an image of how you want your home to look and a preconceived notion to how it “should” be? Listening to others tell you how to change your home feels a little threatening.
-A stands for attitudes that work against us.
-S stands for sociological and inherited beliefs we have about ourselves and our clutter, i.e., self criticism, guilt.
-T is for the technical difficulties in your home, such as not liking the space or not enough lighting in a room.
Why did I start with the mushy talk before I told you the practical steps for how to organize? Because, changes begin from inside. As Hannah Kelley says of The Art of Home, “Until you understand the reasons behind your behaviors, you will never be able to permanently change.”
I hope you’ve perhaps identified with one of the Personality types or recognize some of the attitudes (last issue) that work against you, you may be holding. Because, if you do, now we can get started formulating a customized plan on how to organize. It’s like a movie. You may like action while your spouse hates action movies. Your preferences are different than the next persons.
However, movies are made with basic overall guidelines, introduction, plot, climax, resolution (like a book) and these general principles, do work in fact for many people while the different movie genres are preferred by diverse individuals.
I have an organizing method that I find works to get people organized. I will explain my theory and then customize the action steps according to your Clutter Personality Type-thinker, doer, and feeler. Like the movie.
I call it DECORganize™. I recently formulated this principle after years of watching different types of people struggle with wanting to get organized, doing it, and staying organized. If you are a doer/creative person, you are going to love DECORganize™. A thinker or feeler can stretch to do this, and only positive rewards will be the result.
