SFI (Strong Future International) provides a number of niches that can help a wide range of interested prospects to pursue a simple work from home opportunity on the Internet. To make the most of this free to join opportunity, one must understand the importance of becoming an EA (Executive Affiliate).

In SFI, there are three major ranks: the entry level affiliate, the executive affiliate, and the team leader. As soon as one signs up for free, one becomes an affiliate. When one achieves 10 SVP (sales volume points), one becomes an executive affiliate. When one has 5 personally sponsored affiliates making EA on top of achieving 10 SVP oneself, one becomes a team leader. The higher the rank, the more commissions one receives.

There is also a significant difference between an entry level affiliate and the EAs and TLs. This difference is the access to benefit from the team effort, or residual income. If one stays a non-EA affiliate, one is limited to getting only the commissions on the individual sales one makes, and one cannot benefit from one’s team members’ effort. On the contrary, as an EA, one can have access to one’s team members’ sales efforts and really start to get the benefit of residual income, which is the whole point of such a simple work from home opportunity.

How does one achieve the 10 SVP to qualify for EA? There is the free way and the paid way, both discussed below.

The Free Way to Become An SFI EA

The free way is simply to promote SFI’s products to the general public. When the public makes sales through the affiliate’s personal gateways, he receives some SVPs and some commissions calculated differently. When the SVPs add up to 10 for the month, the affiliate becomes an EA automatically for that month.

Some less expensive and more popular SFI products with their USD and SVP equivalents are as follows:

• Membership with IAHBE(International Association Of Home Business Entrepreneur) ($29.95/month, 10 SVP)

• Long distance sponsoring CD download ($29.95, 10 SVP)

• Veriuni Advanced Antioxidant with Red Wine Extract ($31.95, 10 SVP)

• Veriuni Advanced Liquid Nutrition ($31.95, 10 SVP)

• Membership with Affiliate Mastery ($39/month, 10 SVP)

• Home Business Revolution’s Greatest Entrepreneurs Series, vols 1 & 2 ($27.95, 10 SVP)

• Veriuni cleaning sample pack ($54.21, 7.03 SVP)

• Veriuni all-purpose natural cleaner, gallon ($27.63, 4.22 SVP)

• Veriuni Thermo! Fat-Burner Formula ($24, 5 SVP)

These products may be easy or difficult to market, depending on the affiliate’s experience with internet marketing. SFI provides various free marketing aids such as the website gateways with the affiliate’s id so that a good portion of lead capturing is already done. The affiliate’s responsibility is to advertise these gateways on traffic exchanges, advertising zones, or even offline via flyers, which are also readily printable from the SFI affiliate center.

The Paid Way to Become An SFI EA

The paid way is simply to buy the least expensive 10 SVP oneself. The most popular choice as such is the membership to IAHBE at $29.95/month as listed above.

Buying the IAHBE membership on a monthly basis has several benefits. The biggest one is that it’s a reliable way to become and stay an EA month after month so that the affiliate knows that he has access to team building and residual income all the time.

IAHBE also offers a wealth of resources on home business building including expert articles on marketing tips and guidance, cutting edge tools, inspirational success stories, free business books, to name a few. This membership actually compliments well with the simple work from home opportunity with SFI.

The cost of the membership actually ends up being less than $29.95. As soon as one becomes an EA, one is eligible for a guaranteed Executive Bonus check for the month. This bonus currently runs around $10, which effectively reduces the $29.95 to $19.95.

One can see that both the free way and the paid way have their own pros and cons. The free way does not involve out of pocket expenses, but it may be hard to achieve if one is not experienced (and typical newbies are not experienced) in sales and marketing. Additionally, even with making some sales, it is not reliable that one always makes at least 10 SVP every month to stay an EA (one loses the powerline/commission position if one drops the EA status in any month and has to start all over again).

On the other hand, paying for the IAHBE membership can ensure continued EA status, but requires at least $19.95/month investment. Many affiliates will end up taking the paid option just because it is reliable. Experience says that as long as the affiliate continues the team building effort as guided by the extensive training in the SFI’s affiliate center, there will be a time when the affiliate will see that his team members turning EAs and start sponsoring their own affiliates. It will be as if the business had taken on a life of its own. Is the $19.95 worth it to make that happen?

To conclude, SFI provides a simple work from home opportunity for a lot of people who look to earn an income on the Internet. To make this opportunity work for one, one needs to consider becoming and staying an EA whether through the free way, which takes more time and is more difficult to achieve for most people, or the paid way, which is instant but requires monthly investment of $19.95. The choice is the individual’s. Regardless, one should definitely become an EA in order to get the residual income and make the best of this simple work from home opportunity with SFI.

All companies should brand themselves but most newcomers and experienced companies alike fail to perform here in terms of being money smart. Here is one place you will find information on scalable methods to building your brand, interacting with your consumers, and developing the trust in line with it.

You’re a tiny to corporate status company. Either way you simply can’t assume that your company can gain attention by pure experience and performance by themselves. There are possibly tens, hundreds, possibly thousands of companies selling exactly what you are - just not on the same table. The primary difference between the two of your tables is your brand.

After reading, you should get an idea of how to apply cost effective methods more effectively in your work environment. First and foremost lets review a couple checkpoints for branding before we begin.

Go back to the basics.

Oftentimes branding begins to be so daunting for a company it becomes less and less apparent what your centerpiece for branding should be. What should you focus on?

Product on top of service, service on top of message.

It may come as a surprise that many believe exactly the opposite. The primary reason being that if you don’t have the more important elements you have no message to be said to begin with. After establishing a solid product that can be trusted you can deliver a service that can then be branded.

A business is capable of getting it’s brand out to target audiences in a multitude of methods in today’s tech-friendly world. One missed branding opportunity by companies more often than not is on any touchable material the end consumer is able to hold in their hands. This can be anything from the actual product to any packaging or informational material on the product. In these cases the best method of brand deployment cost effectively on packaging or informational material can be achieved by a rubber stamp.

With stamps being such a low cost method of making an impression it’s surprising that they are not put to better use. A great example being company internet sales - return address stamps are very useful. Even though most every company does make use of stamping the company address they fail to make use of the branding in it. Customizing your stamps with the logo within the stamp area can give customers a satisfied feeling of their product going through a human hand and not just “out of the world wide web”, thus linking that trust directly to your brand. Stamp use is just one of many essential tools in the cost effective branding process. Doing this apparently minor action sets your brand in prime position to be more easily recognized and remembered.

Making adjustments to your branding possibilities it becomes more apparent at the number of playing fields you are able to cost effectively deploy and develop your brand. If anything is to be taken from this it is that you keep focused that your brand is there for customers to remember you but mainly to trust you, your products, your service, and your message. It’s with this you will be able to more creatively deploy your brand without the need for only resolving by high priced methods.

Many companies that exhibit at trade shows find that they need to do something extra to draw attention to their trade show exhibits. And, that’s not too hard to understand – just entering a trade show hall or convention center is an assault on the senses from all of the exhibitors vying for the attention of the trade show attendees.

So, how can you break through the crowd and have your trade show exhibit stand out in a way that draws the interest of prospects, media and key influencers?

Incorporate Visual Excitement

Incorporating movement, color, lights and action imparts a feeling of energy that draws attendees to your trade show booth. New technologies enable you to build drama and visual excitement using such techniques.

A good example is the use of 3D video/laser image displays suspended from above. Gobo lights that travel across tension fabric provide opportunity for changing color and evoking mesmerizing interest for your trade show exhibit.

Bring On the Big Guns

Bringing on big guns can run the gamut from hiring major sports figures to major Hollywood personalities to major recording stars for personal appearances. Or, perhaps bringing on a renowned guru that your attendees would flock to see would make more of a statement and draw more serious attendees.

In recent years, some trade show exhibitors have hired Tom Hanks, former San Francisco 49er quarterback Steve Young, and recording stars such as Foo Fighters and Maroon 5 have been feature attractions at major trade shows.

Not a fit for you budget? Try stealing some thunder with paid celebrity look-a-likes. Elvis may be departed but if he makes an “appearance” at your booth you will surely draw interest.

Showcase Your Company Website

Do you have a really compelling website? If your website is a winner, and particularly if it is the kind that trade show participants would find useful on an ongoing basis, it just makes sense to use this as bait.

Incorporate your website on a large backdrop using such techniques as holographics and waterscreen projections. Attract them into your show booth with participation in the interactive elements of your website.

Add Interactive Elements to Your Trade Show Exhibits

An interactive booth is a great way to draw in trade show foot traffic. Invoking multiple senses – touch, feel, sight and sound – is an outstanding way to attract them to your exhibit and to imprint a lasting memory on them. Experiential activity is far more exciting and longer lasting than one-dimensional trade show exhibits.

Leverage Your Energetic Trade Show Staff

Which booth would you want to visit? One that has a subdued, indifferent booth staffers milling around or one that has friendly, smiling and proactively engaging (yet not obnoxious) staff?

It’s simple really. Smiling, energetic and well trained booth staff can go a long way toward attracting and keeping the attention of trade show attendees. Pay attention to providing that training to your staff and making sure that it is maintained throughout the long hours of the show.

If you think creatively about this, you can take the task of attracting an audience for your trade show exhibits to a whole new level. Make a game out of it. Try a few of these techniques and notice the changes. Toss the ones that don’t work as well and try some new ones the next time until you hit on a winning combination of tricks to ensure that your trade show exhibits stand out from the crowd.

You’ve made the decision to exhibit at trade shows as part of your marketing and sales initiatives. For most companies, exhibiting at trade shows represents a significant commitment: budget, resources and reputation are all on the line. A lot is at stake.

Now it’s time to select the trade show venues that will be most productive for your company. The following tips for selecting trade show venues will help put you on the right path to success:

Identify the Best Trade Shows for Your Company

Identify the trade shows that appeal to your target markets and that offer the best chance of exposure for your products or services. Research to learn what trade shows your best prospects favor to help you build your initial list of prospective trade shows. Don’t forget to also check out where your competitors repeatedly show up.

Do Your Due Diligence

Of course, you will want to ask the trade show management organizations to provide you with demographic statistics to help guide your decisions. Audited information is best, if it’s available.

Don’t stop there; double-check their assertions and perform your own due diligence by contacting peers and colleagues who have exhibited at the trade show in the past to get their perspective. Bonus Tip: talking to former attendees to get their input is also a relationship building technique.

Factor in Timing Considerations

Now that you have an initial list whittled down a bit by your due diligence efforts, eliminate those shows that are out of sync with prospects’ buying cycle timeline. It won’t do your company any good to spend a lot of time and resources exhibiting at trade shows if they happen after major purchasing decisions are made or too late in that process.

Location, Location, Location

So true in many marketing decision, true with trade shows as well. On average, 40-60% of attendees at trade shows live within 200 miles of the show. Matching your company’s geographic footprint with the trade show coverage is another smart move.

Avoid Calendar Conflicts

You probably would not want to schedule participation in trade shows that coincide with the Super Bowl. That’s just too much competition for the attention and attendance that you ideally want and deserve for all of your company’s hard work.

Likewise, there are less universal calendar challenges that can mare your success at trade shows that you’ll also want to consider and potentially avoid, such as: corporate annual meetings, holidays (including major nontraditional religious holidays if appropriate), conflicting industry events, etc.

These tips will get you started on the path to develop a solid list of trade shows that your company may want to consider. Of course, there are other considerations, such as fit for your budget and internal feedback from members in your organization. The more time you spend doing proper selection of trade shows, the greater your likelihood of a successful outcome. The more time you spend doing proper selection of trade shows, the greater your likelihood of a successful outcome. You can’t go wrong by spending the bulk of your time upfront in self-education and planning. After all, your company’s reputation and results are at stake, as well as yours!

Having an article directory used to be deemed as an effective way to add content to your home biz website. It still is. However, depending on whether the content is unique or duplicate, it can have very different impact on your website.

If you get unique articles submitted to your home biz article directory, that’s the best. Your website pages will be feasted upon by the search engines and get indexed to come up in the web search results. You are then in hope of getting plenty of organic traffic from the search engines, highly targeted for the products you promote on your site.

If you get duplicate content for your home biz online article directory, chances are search engines will not index them; they will not be returned in the result of web searches, and you do not get the organic traffic as if you would from unique content. Never the less, you will still have new content added to your site. This would prove worth it if you are trying to build your site as a resource for your targeted customers or just the Internet community in general.

Will I get unique articles, you may ask? If you are just starting your article directory for your home business website, chances are that you will not get a lot of unique articles. People who write unique articles will usually try to submit them to well established directories, such as EzineArticles.com. You as the webmaster will also want to stuff your article directory with as many free content as possible to build up some confidence in the eye of the prospects. The free content usually means duplicate articles, which turn off the search engines.

Another aspect of maintaining an article directory is that it is a lot of work to maintain. You have to be prepared to review the articles submitted and then, to approve or decline the submission. If you get a steady stream of articles submitted, this could mean substantial time commitment for content that is not necessarily unique. You may also need to be prepared to deal with spamming.

For Internet marketing newbies, learning to operate and maintain an online article directory may mean a significant amount of time. If this time commitment conflicts with keyword research, article marketing, directory submissions, blogging, and lead capture creation, etc., it may not be wisely spent. These other tasks are far more essential to building an online home business in the initial stage than starting an online article directory. Unique content coupled with quality backlinks are the two pillars of solid web presence. Unfortunately, a typical online article directory would fail either.

To conclude, installing an article directory is still a great idea for adding content to one’s home biz online website. However, in terms of the strategy to build one’s web business presence, other SEO tips, such as keyword research, building quality backlinks, and adding unique content to one’s website, whether through the article directory or not, should prioritize over installing an article directory.

As a website or blog owner there are a few tasks that take priority in order to be successful online and generate traffic. That is creating quality content and building link popularity. And if you are searching for a great work at home job, then you should find it easy to locate webmasters who are willing to pay you a reasonable price to help them achieve one of these two tasks.

Specifically I am going to write a little about link building and what opportunities are available to you as a freelance link builder.

Link building is the process of getting a webmaster to add your domain name to their page. This creates “Link Popularity” and is very important in ranking well with the search engines. The more links that you website has coming in from other websites / blogs, then the higher the importance of your website within search results.

You should find it fairly easy to locate a webmaster willing to pay a reasonable amount to help him with his link building activities. Although, there are multiple companies all over the Internet who specialize in link building services, you can offer a wider range of services by performing various tasks that larger companies won’t. These link building tasks might include:

Posting comments on blogs, message boards, forums, etc… This form of link building has a tendency to build traffic. By positing a interesting comment that creates curiousity in the reader, they will be eager to click and find out what you promote. Be sure to post comments that relate to the topic of that blog post or forum and do not spam!

Getting reciprocal links from other webmasters. You can find other websites or blogs that are in the same category and write the webmaster asking for a reciprocal link. This is not as popular as it used to be now that there are so many link exchange services. But it can still be an effective way to get “relevant” links with similar websites.

Writing articles for content and link building. Article marketing is an excellent way to build links back to a website. First, it is a way of extending the content that is on the site and also by placing an author tag on the bottom of the page you will develop more and more links to the website.

PPC content ads. This is a temporary way of building links to a site. When a PPC (pay per click) ad like google adwords is shown on a website and it can potentially create a temporary link back to your website. If you plan on implementing a steady PPC campaign then you will see your link popularity grow as your ad is shown on relevant sites. But realize that once you stop advertising your link popularity will vanish as quick as it grew.

Those are the most popular ways to build link popularity. And as a freelance link builder you can help a webmaster by performing all of those tasks for him.

Link building is going to be an important key to maintaining a successful website for a very long time. And you can use it for your benefit by learning all of the different ways to increase link popularity and helping a webmaster grow their site.

Freelance link building can truly be a profitable work from home job. With millions of websites and blogs on the Internet you should be able to find just a few and start bringing in some extra cash at home.

Clients often ask how to control costs associated with their trade show displays without diluting their exhibit impact. Here are several suggestions to help keep trade show display expenditures in line:

Consider Trade Show Display Rental Rather Than Buying

It does not make economic sense to rent trade show displays if you plan to exhibit more than three times in a given year.

Renting trade show booths is a good option if you are planning a one-time trade show exhibit or only an occasional appearance at trade shows, testing trade show fit as a channel for your company, or if you have simultaneous trade shows in different geographic areas.

Be sure to rent a booth that will fit into the size of your specific trade show exhibit space. Renting will save on construction costs as well as the expense and hassle of trade show exhibits storage after the trade show is over.

Upgrade Your Current Trade Show Booth

If you choose not to rent, you can upgrade older trade show displays by changing your exhibit graphics, re-laminating color panels, and redesigning structural elements. This is a much more cost-effective way than starting from scratch.

Invest In a Pre-owned Trade Show Display

If you do not already have existing trade show displays to upgrade, you can find used trade show exhibits that are greatly reduced from their original cost.

Many trade show exhibit houses offer top quality pre-owned exhibits that are well maintained and easily adaptable to new signage, often affording reductions in exhibit design time and construction costs by more than half.

You also have options on size, design, scope and price similar to trade show booth rentals with a variety of style and dimension options. Perhaps with little more than a customized graphics upgrade your trade show exhibit can be “out the door and on the floor” in a matter of weeks.

Go Lightweight

Lightweight trade show displays reduce operating costs such as freight, drayage, and trade show exhibits storage.

Select a trade show display that packs easily and is uncomplicated to install and dismantle. A custom modular or custom portable trade show exhibit can have the look of a custom exhibit, while reducing operating costs by 50 to 90 percent.

Pack Extra supplies

When your installation and dismantle company installs your exhibit at your trade show, you’ll find that emergency repairs and materials replacements often are costly. So keep a backup supply box filled with items that may need to be replenished at the trade show.

What to include in your Trade Show Toolbox? Include items like power cords, tools, light bulbs, Velcro, scissors and duct tape.

Experience is the best teacher in keeping trade show exhibit costs under control. If your team has limited know-how, tap into the wealth of knowledge available from the staff of a reputable trade show exhibit company. Also, do your research on trade show display company websites and sites associated with the trade show industry leaders for some insider tips. Often these tips can save you money, time and agony.

The importance of blogging is talked about all the time. But is it really THAT important?

If you’ve opened your inbox anytime lately you’ll know that everyone is either trying to sell you a blogging package or are preaching about the benefits of blogging.

But is it really any better than just sending your articles out to the article directories to get traffic?

I don’t believe so and here are 4 reasons why.

1. Blogs are time consuming.

Writing to a blog on a consistent basis can take up a lot of time or your time. You’ve got ideas to some up with and you need to deliver quality posts or you’ll never keep a big readership.

Compare that to writing article that takes up less time and you can write an article whenever you get the inclination to write one. Plus you can vary your topic’s everyday. Write an article on dog training one day, weight loss products the next. (Something you could do if you had a blog only based on one subject)

2. Is everyone actually blogging?

Yes, I know there are a few genuine blogger’s out there who provide genuine unique content. But if you visit the majority of blogs online (that claim they’re blogs) you’ll see that they’re only full of other people contents either in the form or a small excerpt leading to another blog or articles they’ve downloaded from the main article directories.

But if you’re writing articles you’re forced to write unique content that that’s not out there already. Plus you’ll get the full credit it for it and look like an expert. (Rather than a middle man who knows nothing about his topic and is only hoping for a couple of clicks on his adsense ads.)

3. Blogs can drop out of the search engines.

Yes, a blog is a great way of getting noticed by the search engines and picked up but if you’re not blogging on a consistent basis you find your blog and posts slowly falling down in page rank and search results until they disappear.

Compare this to having your article that’s in an article directory the majority of which actually climb up in page rank and increasing traffic. Plus if your website is only new why not just submit an article to an article directory and then just “Digg” your post or “Stumble It” on the social networking sites. Digg has a high page rank and you’ll find your site getting spidered very quickly plus you’ll also get a lot of free traffic on your very first day.

4. Do blogs really get read that much? Even if you have a blog with great posts does anybody really read them all? The majority of people who visit blogs usually only stay around for 2-3 posts at most before moving on to do something else online.

If you’re writing a blog you can get attached to it (“your online baby”) and because you’ve spent so much time writing to it, looking for subjects to write about etc, and when people spend more than a few minutes on it, it can knock your confidence and make you wonder if it really was worth while.

But with an article you spend hour or so putting it together and sent it on its merry way and it does well that’s great and if it doesn’t do well, back to the “drawing board” and try again (no harm done).

Conclusion

After reading this article you may be wondering am I totally against blog and blogging and the answer is “No.”

I do think there are some great bloggers out there that give great content but I think a lot of people are being mislead into thinking that blogging is a type of “set it and forget” way of making money online which its not.

Instead I think if you’ve got something to say put it done it in an article instead. This way you’re not making as big a commitment both in time and money and who knows you’ll probably end up on someone’s blog further down the line and increase your profile and traffic to your site. Something you were looking for in the first place.

Plus when you?re finished writing your article head straight to over to www.ItWasSoEasy.com and give us a copy of it and we?ll do our very best to get as much FREE traffic to your site as possible…Hey it?s the least we can do for you!

Like the Batman theme and want to use it for your client’s project? You might have frowned in dismay as the Batman theme is of course, as everyone knows, a copyrighted track and hence there is no way you are able to use this in your project. Do so, and you will probably end up in trouble with the law. There IS a way out though, and that is by using royalty free wav sound effects that you can download. And not to worry - these tracks are meant to be downloaded and be used by you.

First things first, let’s get the idea of ‘royalty free wav music’ straight. Royalty free tracks are tracks that can be downloaded infinitely many times by everyone, and anyone can use it freely. So if you are looking for an awesome sound effect to use, try royalty free wav sound effects. Normal tracks that you might have downloaded from P2P networks are copyrighted tracks; most of them at least. Hence, this simply means that you are doing downloading these tracks illegally. This is the reason why using royalty free sound effects is highly encouraged.

Unlike these normal tracks that you have downloaded from Kazaa, royalty free sound effects are safe to download and as the purchaser and downloader, you are entitled to do anything you want with the track. Cut is short, edit it, loop it around or simply use it as it is. The sound effect is rightfully yours.

This is the reason why many people love to use royalty free music. There is no need for them to worry about the materials that they are using in their projects. There is also no need for them to think too hard on choosing the exact tracks that they wish to use. This is simply because there is an abundance of royalty free wav sound effects out there! Yes, you read it clear. If you are running out of ideas on which are the kind sound effects to use on your website, then hit “Royalty Free Wav Sound Effects” on Google and you will be rewarded with a full list of links to these royalty free tracks.

However, don’t expect to see Justin Timberlake’s or Eminem’s tracks. Royalty free sound effects and songs are 110 percent original. These tracks can sound pretty close to JT’s though. So if you are looking for a JT song for use, then grab one that is royalty free and sound as close to JT’s.

The problem with some people is that they keep on thinking that these royalty free wav sound effects sound crappy and the sound quality might not be as good. This is when they are wrong! You will be surprised to know that some of these royalty free sound effects and songs are actually composed by experienced and well-known music composers and directors. So, there is a high chance of these tracks sounding as good as (or even better than) the tracks that you have heard over the radio.

A definite plus point: these royalty free sound effects have sneak previews before you download and use them. This is definitely not the case for P2P networks.

‘A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently.’

As an indication of where we are as a society, there are a number of blogging business opportunities available for people who know their way around the Internet. With all sorts of interesting things like Google AdSense and other ways for people to get paid, the blog business opportunity is bigger than ever. You should be careful if you are going to consider this because you need to know how the rules are played and you need to know what counts and what does not and you need to know how you will get paid. All of these are things to consider and things which should be known when you are considering the blog business opportunity. While this can be a great way to add extra income and enhance your financial situation you need to make sure you know what to expect.

Blog is short for “web log”, which is basically just someone’s account of what happened somewhere. If five friends go to restaurant and one of them writes for a restaurant blog, that’s considered valid. If there is one overzealous content producer who in his spare time writes a blog about theater, that’s completely legitimate. If there is a disgruntled hotel worker who maintains a blog while she is at work on the graveyard shift about how much she hates her job, that is considered valid. The fun thing about all these different types of businesses is that they all can make you money.

Blogging for money is the same as anything else and it’s all about driving traffic to your blog. The more people who read your blog then the more money you are likely to make. There is the added bonus that you can put advertisements on your blog that are related to your topic of your blog or the subjects of your various posts and these can make you money as well. It would seem, with money being made at weblogs, that the old archetype of the “website” may be becoming obsolete. While that statement may be a little bit ahead of its time, there will likely be a day when webpages as we know them today are no longer. The blog is a comfortable format that we are all very familiar with as we’ve all had to keep journals in grade school and many of us probably kept diaries outside of school. So we all are familiar with the daily entry format of the single thought process that goes along and takes you from one thing to the next to the next.
