It may be Real Simple to others to understand; but RSS, which stands for Real Simple Syndication is complex.

I've been writing all of my life. Most of us can say the same. If you are like me, you may have struggled in grammar school with creating prepositional phrases, inserting infinitives, and dodging dangling modifiers. My struggles stretched into my collegiate years no matter how much I reviewed some type of manual about styles such as APA, MLA, and the Chicago Manual of Style. I continued to struggle and labor at submitting excellent copy like a two finger typist in the dark. With my degrees on the line, I knew If I didn't submit a paper with the correct ...

Often, we want to put our best face on in front of an audience. We practice our smiles, handshakes, and some even practice some clever and smooth dance moves. Why do we put effort into making sure our public image is polished, eye catching, and spectacular. Because we have learned or heard from some wise owl that we as entrepreneurs win when the public's perception of us is positive. The minds of our target audience is our battlefield and often we the entrepreneurs only have one shot to hit our mark. Our target is a space in our customers' or ...

It may be Real Simple to others to understand; but RSS, which stands for Real Simple Syndication is complex. For the millions of web site owners throughout the world, site performance analysis is something foreign and as alien as E.T., but for those who professionally construct SEO strategies for websites, RSS plays a significant role to success.
Unless you have a huge bank roll and can hire competent PR and Marketing professionals to assist you with SEO, one of the best things that you can do for yourself as a business owner or media publisher is invest in establishing a FEED. Yes, be your own PR firm. This works well for those that use a WordPress, Joomla!, or some other reliable Content Management System (CMS).
By all means, you should have a CMS as the platform for your website or at least some of its synchronous and asynchronous technology programmed into your site. Not using Web 2.0 or Web 3.0, technology is like using a rock to hammer a nail. A CMS is really a nail gun when it comes to providing your online media tool consistent action.
Depending on your platform, WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, or whatever pleases your palette, you will have a way to enter and configure vital SEO information. This is crucial. Before you launch a blog, get your SEO together as tight as possible. Keywords, titles, headers, alt tags, and descriptions are the heart and soul of successful SEO. Its the primary means of broadcasting to the search engines throughout the world. You can validate your SEO effectivness by visiting a resource like www.seoscores.com. You will receive an impeccable report within seconds regarding your website’s SEO structure.
Once your SEO is together, then you want to tackle the arena of RSS. At this point you will know what content is important to you and your visitors or clients. This is where you can present yourself as an expert in the area that your product and service is most prominent. Basically your RSS feed is a reflection of your brand, and a brand is basically the culmination of your company’s personality, values, and beliefs. Everything that your write for your RSS is the sum of your blog.
The more that you write relevant and engaging content for your website’s visitors, clients, and leads, the better your ranking will improve among search engines, social networks, and link sharing resources. So if you are trying to reach the world with your message you are going to have to speak very loudly. Or you can simply rely on a good RSS publishing strategy. You Digg?

Why I wrote Venture Basics 101.
Save Your Money and Young Entrepreneur from Failure.
I have had the opportunity to visit, live and work in some of America’s largest cities. I love skyscrapers, my favorites are the Sears Tower and the Renaissance Center (currently renamed as the GM Headquarters). And for some reason I have always been impressed with the heights of these buildings. As a little boy, I imagined what the city would look like standing on their rooftops. These buildings represented a status of wealth and prestige.
I hadn’t heard of any minorities, and especially African Americans owning and building skyscrapers. I had met several African American architects, but owning a skyscraper and drawing and designing one are worlds apart. As a boy, when I visited the downtown area on field trips, I saw the type of people that walked into the skyscrapers. They wore suits and ties, carried briefcases. They looked focused and walked with hurried intent.
As a young boy I noticed that the people entering and exiting the skyscrapers did not look like the people from my community. They didn’t look African American. I wondered where my people worked. And most of all, I wondered why my people did not work in the skyscrapers. Over the years, I learned about what the skyscrapers represented. Consequently, I wonder why African Americans don’t have more downtown skyscrapers representing their growth in industry and manufacturing.
African American entrepreneurs own less than 70 buildings that stand higher than 20 floors throughout the entire United States. The 30 million and counting population of African Americans live in nearly 35 major metropolises. And yet for the trillions of dollars we generate we only have a few hotels to showcase.
Why are there so few skyscrapers owned by African Americans? It’s simple. Those African Americans pioneering successes in all types of industry are reluctant to establish mentoring programs to build momentum in their areas of expertise. This momentum may be represented in the creation of new businesses. But since we don’t excelled at creating institutions that promote black success, our communities suffer from poverty and joblessness.
Skyscrapers throughout the US are fueled by the ingenuity and innovation of citizens who fought to create new economic opportunities. African Americans should follow the patterns already established by America’s legacy of entrepreneurs. In doing so, we would close the poverty and unemployment gaps. Because of this entrepreneurial crisis, a huge gap exist between top performing professionals and entrepreneurs, job holders vs job creators.
Many business experts say an entrepreneur will fail several times before they achieve establishing and owning a profitable enterprise. My research uncovered the reality that recognizing an opportunity is one of the most important aspects of entrepreneurship and business development.
Usually the principle way that one learns to recognize opportunities in business is through participating in a network of seasoned and passionate collaborators and mentors. The best network and most accessible network is the African Americans’ family and the family members’ contacts. However, with the black family under attack from tremendous social and political issues, wealth growing and wealth transferring strategies are stifled and crippled by a lack of expertise.
In recognizing this fact, I decided to create, publish, and distribute an entrepreneurial learning system that is comprised of the greatest lessons taught and proven by some of the greatest business owners on the planet. I call this system Venture Basics 101: Opportunity Recognition.
I hope that it leads to more skyscrapers being built by African Americans, to demonstrate our mastery of industry and manufacturing. At a grassroots level, hopefully it will lead to a more prosperous community of doers instead of doubters. We need to learn how to recognize and take advantage of our scarce and precious opportunities.

Achieve Heroic Success
As an author you challenge yourself with telling the perfect story. It’s an epic adventure into your inner most sensibilities, taste, imagination, and experiences. And it doesn’t matter whether your focus is comedy, drama, fantasy, or science-fiction, the story must be crafted according to the publishing industry standards and readers’ expectations.
If you are new to writing, haven’t had allot of courses or haven’t received guidance from a writing mentor, you want to find a resource which is going to improve your development process. Let’s face a simple truth about success in life, those with intimate knowledge of something (a craft, trade, or profession) are more highly favored and considered the better candidate. This simple truth is no different in the world of literature, journalism, screenwriting, and playwriting. When your creative works reflect the strategic processes of a professional, the story that you share with literary agents, editors, publishers and ultimately your reading audience, you convert them all into fans.
What I am speaking of is the development process, it took me years to learn about it, and it differs according to the type of work I am attempting to publish. I love efficiency, and I am sure you do too. Nothing is more inefficient than submitting work that does not meet industry standards. Because, it leads to cycles of editing and formatting which takes away time from the other important aspects of becoming an author, like promotions, networking, and working on something new. You know there is nothing more satisfying than having your work published and seeing it in print. Well, there might be a couple things… meeting someone who enjoys your work and receiving a check for it.
Writing a story that any publishing house, magazine, or multimedia studio would appreciate sharing with the world requires excellent coaching. And with novelist, the competition is super steep. Thousands of authors self-publish. Many of those that self-publish pay less than $400.00 to have their books bound or registered with a lightening press. Most do without professional editing and copywriting services. So, if you really want your story to be successful in the literary and journalistic arena, then craft your story like a professional. I use the StoryCraft software. It’s like having a publishing expert hold your hand through the development process of your story. The return on my investment for using StoryCraft has been more than 1000%. That’s no exaggeration.

If you are like me, you may have struggled in grammar school with creating prepositional phrases, inserting infinitives, and dodging dangling modifiers. My struggles stretched into my collegiate years no matter how much I reviewed some type of manual about styles such as APA, MLA, and the Chicago Manual of Style. I continued to struggle and labor at submitting excellent copy like a two finger typist in the dark. With my degrees on the line, I knew If I didn’t submit a paper with the correct writing style then it would be rejected. Accumulate to many rejections and you hit a sliding slope to academic probation. Rejection is the worst grade a person could receive. It means your work was unreadable, an absolute academic and professional disgrace. Over the years, I poured considerable energy into deciphering the cryptic definitions, terminology, and formatting recommendations of various writing styles. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Now, a writer can invest in inexpensive software that will guide them through the process of writing within specific style guidelines. Lately, I have been using StyleEase. I highly recommend it. StyleEase may make the difference between rejection and acceptance of your literary works.

At the time of this writing, I have crossed a point of no return with the pursuit of my dreams and implementing the steps necessary for them to succeed. I want you to know that I come from very humble beginnings and running uphill isn’t close to a metaphor that captures where I am from. And, now that I have lived a little, won a few fights in the arenas of academia, entrepreneurship, and professional work, I understand it’s the moment at hand that matters the most. All the certificates, accolades, acknowledgments, media interviews and special invitations to join organizations of merit and prestige don’t amount to a hill of beans if you are not living your passion. Just this year alone I have met with, spoken to, and been mentored by the most extraordinary speakers on the planet. I have desired to be educated and advised by the absolute best. I had no idea how it would happen, I had no idea where it would happen. I just saw in my minds eye, it would happen. Not only that, I knew that all of my enterprises and ventures would benefit. Up to February of 2010, I was waiting for the right moment to unleash my talents, to build my circle of influence, to share my passions for media, business development and education. And then I awoke with a question on my mind…What are you waiting for?

What is a Warp Ramp?
Through out history mankind has pursued the development of technology that helps push our performance beyond what is thought to be possible or expected. We are hungry for innovations that make us superior to our competitors in all areas of potential achievement such as business development and management, political rankings, social rankings, and physical fitness. We are constantly looking for the magnificent and mystical formulas, patterns, and pathways to increase our output, transform our mindset, and dominate our circumstances.
We are always striving to reach new heights. Sometimes it takes a new technique or vehicle to reach a higher level of standards. Often, we need a new spring board to gain the vantage point to see beyond where we stand. Some might call it a launch pad or catalyst. We all look for a way to improve our performance in the areas of our interest. In the case of those who are passionate about the Internet, we once salivated over the potential of the Information Super Highway, and now it has evolved into something a thousand times more powerful, dynamic, and engaging.
Now we have the Cloud. And to reach the Cloud you will need a ramp to launch you to the goals and objectives you desire. But to be competitive in the new global economy, you can’t move in linear patterns, you must learn how to warp.
Warp Ramp is an institution established to help your flow with the new wave of business development, entrepreneurship, digital livelihood, and global digital citizenship.
