After doing a bit of research I think I've finally decided upon a guitar for my son. I found this beautiful looking guitar in a music srore, semi acoustic, called a LAG. I discovered it is a french guitar from the south of France. They are hugely popular in Europe although they havné been in Australia for that long. This particular one is $399.00 which is a good price. It has a deep glossy body, french satin neck, spruce top, mahogany back and sides. Aslo has a Shadow Direct Lag pre-amp using the Nanoflex piezo pickup.

I think this guitar will do my son for years until he's ready to spend some big bucks. As everyone knows guitars can range in the thousands but this is quality and very nice to look at with great tone. I have to say I was a bit dubious when I found out they are made in China but the owner Michele oversees a strict control. Manufacturing in China keeps costs down but Michele does not compromise on quality. I've included some video to cheach out and here is Lag's Australian website http://www.lagguitars.com.au/

How To Pick A Good Acoustic Guitar

My son plays the guitar and started off with a nylon string cheap guitar to learn on. I thought I'd wait and see if he really loved guitar before buying him something more expensive.

He loves the guitar and never stops playing it. We started off with a years worth of lessons and now he's just teaching himself some more on the internet. he practices all the time. It's now time to get him the guitar he really wants and the one that will take him to the next level.

I came across this article that discusses what to look out for when choosing a guitar. It's a great guide but in the end I think it's best if I let him pick his own guitar. I think it's important for them to get a feel for their own guitar and choose from there.

How To Write Articles

If you want to understand how to be successful online, study those who are already successful, and gain an understanding of "what they do" and "why they do what they do..." Then mirror their actions...

I have been very successful using Article Marketing to promote my online businesses, since early 2000...

I have written and distributed many articles that went on to generate sales in the five figures... But for the sake of the FTC disclaimer, "Very few people will make this kind of money with Article Marketing..."

If you understand the "how and why" of writing great articles, perhaps you can generate more sales from your articles than I have from mine... But if you miss the point of this article, you are likely to never make any money at all with article marketing...

There Are Five Essential Elements of Successful Article Marketing:

1. Title - Many people suggest that you should put your top keywords at the front of your article title, but I don't subscribe to that methodology. I do include my target keywords in the title, when I can, but an article that is well-optimized for the search engines is worthless if it does not get published... The #1 goal of your articles' title is to get the article opened!! You must present a title that is going to get the attention of publishers and readers; you must present a title that is going to compel a person to at least open your article to see if they will want to read it...

2. Opening Paragraph - The title got your article opened, but now you need your reader to read the article... Tell your reader why they should keep reading your article and read it to its conclusion... Any reader who does not reach your website from your article is a "missed opportunity" to sell your stuff... Show people why it will be in their best interest to finish reading your article...

3. The Article Body - The article body must meet the promise of the Article Title and the opening paragraph... The article body must retain the interest of the reader to the last word... The article body must tell a story people want to read, and leave them wanting more... The article body must successfully carry the reader to your Author's Resource Box... When finished reading, the reader must be happy to have read the article...

4. The Authors' Resource Box - The Authors' Resource Box needs to transition the reader from your article to your website, by offering a compelling call-to-action to get the reader to go to your website... Tell who you are, but don't go overboard... People do not care who you are - they only care about what else you can do for them...

5. Your Landing Page - You should never try to sell your products or services in your Authors' Resource Box. Instead, you should try to get the reader to your website, where you have an unlimited number of words, videos, pictures and testimonials to tell the real story of your products or services. Few vendors have the ability to sell a product or service in 500 characters, so you should use your Authors' Resource Box to get the reader to your website, where you will do the real selling...

Tell A Story People Want To Read

Often, the difference between someone who will try to write an article for $5 and the professional writer who understands the value of his or her work can be defined simply...

The person writing an article for $5 will "beat around the bush" for five hundred words, without ever actually saying anything of any real value to anyone... The person who works for $5 an article is just putting words on a page so that he or she can be paid...The person who demands $40 to $500 to write an article is a master of story-telling... He or she will tell a story that people will want to read, and therefore a story that publishers will want to publish...

The authors who tell a story that "people are happy to have read" will find their articles on more high-quality websites, and they will find more people visiting their websites, as a result of having read the article...Words on a page only please search engines, but a story on a page will ALSO attract readers, visitors and paying customers to your website...

Interestingly, most online marketing gurus who advise hiring people to write $5 articles also fail to tell a truth -- they fail to point out that articles that pass real link popularity to a website must have link popularity to pass on to your website...People don't link to articles that are nothing more than "words on a page", but people will link to a story that needs telling... Just like the other articles you have read that you enjoyed reading; a story worth sharing is one that will gain its own links from people who do not know the author personally...

Any article that gains its own link popularity, by merit of it being a good story will pass real link popularity back to the authors' website, because it has real value for readers and real link popularity to share...

Article Marketing Will Not Work For Everyone...

There are a great number of us who have made a lot of money with article marketing... Then there are thousands of others who have never made any money at all with article marketing...

When you want to find success with an online business, you should mirror those people who have been successful...

Article Marketing is no different... If you have ever visited a website or purchased a product, as a result of having read an article that mentioned the website or product, take another look at the article that drove you to action... Try to understand the "how" and "why" that article worked, and then try to figure out how you can duplicate the formula for yourself...Chances are good that you will see my "Five Essential Elements of Successful Article Marketing" in those articles that you are reviewing...

Fortunately, you don't have to take my word for what I am telling you in this article... Whenever you find an article that moves you to visit the website shown in the Authors' Resource Box, take another look at the article to see how closely it matches with the "Five Essential Elements" I shared with you in this article... You may be surprised by what you learn...

If you enjoyed this information, you will find that it just scratches the surface of what I have included in my article marketing ebook, "How To Use Article Marketing To Positively Impact Your SEO Efforts", available for sale on my website, The Phantom Writers. My name is Bill Platt, and I have been involved in Article Marketing since early 2000. This article was excerpted in part, from the one shown here.

Unique content is the life force behind any successful online campaign. Anyone can write articles, but those who know how to write an article effectively are the ones who get their content read and enjoyed. There are some key points you must know about writing articles to avoid wasting your time and effort.

I realize there is a lot of conflicting information about writing articles. One person preaches SEO strategies while the other swears that good content, no matter how it looks sells.

A lot of this information is a matter of opinion, but there are proven strategies to get the most out of each and every article that you write.

Some Key Points on How to Write an Article are:

400-500 word articles work best. Be brief, but get your point across.
Use your keywords once in the introduction, once in the body and again in the conclusion.
Be very specific about what you are writing about. The more targeted you are the easier it is to relate to your readers.
Break up big blocks of text with bullet points or subtitles. Try to limit paragraphs to no more than 3 sentences.
Most importantly deliver good content. If your reader feels that they have really gained something from reading your article you have done your job well!

Learning how to write an article is not difficult. Articles are simply bits of text to get your point across to your readers. Make sure to research your topic to maintain content quality, but these are the key points you will want to remember the next time you write an article.

Consider This...
Imagine if you made enough money from the comfort of your home that you could tell your boss he's fired! Alright now, wake up because this can be a reality. If you know how to write an article effectively you will have the skills to make as much money as you want online.

How to write a simple article? Most likely there are as many different opinions about this as there are authors, but it is enough to say that with the everlasting popularity of publications on the internet, it is safe to begin with learning how to write an online article.

How to write a simple article

As there are hundreds of strict rules and strategies for writing an article full of keywords, I'd like to save you some time and effort and a possible headache too, and to teach you how to write a simple piece for online publication, an article which is included in an online database. For instance, this might be a database that accepts as well as offers its readers free articles. Furthermore, I'd like to concentrate mainly on the style or type of publication which is easiest to reach and most interesting and enjoyable to read.

It is important to know that the great majority of websites have a general topic or concern. Suppose you are going to write an article for a firm which is specialized in designing kitchen cabinets. The above-mentioned firm required ten publications to start. (Keep in mind that this is only a hypothetical situation; most sites have a database of more than 300 articles). I suppose many of us have previous experience in writing assignments in their college classes, for example a paper which is supposed to be 10 pages long on anything related to California history. It is almost the same as far as writing online articles in concerned; the web master will require ten articles about kitchen cabinets. And then you have to leave your imagination and invention work.

Go to your kitchen and carefully examine the cupboards. How many synonyms of cabinet can you think of? How these cupboards are made, what are they made of and how many parts do they have? Do you know all the kinds of materials that are used in building a cupboard? When was the oldest cabinet you've seen built? ( few days ago I came across one which was used in a pharmacy and was made of steel and glass, it was from the early 1920's ). Thus, if you are a beginner at writing articles about cabinets, you could think about the types, styles, designs and materials. Here are some pieces of advice you can follow and write a couple of paragraphs choosing your own approach from one of the mentioned below.

* Define all the terms and specialized words used in cabinetry. The best way to help a potential buyer, a user or even apprentice carpenter is to include a glossary in your article.

* Make an easily readable bulleted list covering all the facts and details related to the topic

*Do a Survey - write an article about the history of the topic you've chosen, whether it would be a person, a place, an event or a concept

* Be sensitive about the format - using different style and font variations will help the reader distinguish the different parts of the article

Further, knowing how to write a piece of publication includes setting the right purposes: show the readers how to select, build, buy, clean, install, etc. the item you write about
Some of the popular formats that you might want to use are listed below:

The Q and A - put some questions and then finds the best answers

The Narrative - people love stories, especially well-written ones

Try Quotes and Trivia - if you find it appropriate you can put some quotes in your article because quotes are as exciting as tales and discussions of trials and tribulations and success--with the item you are describing.

This should be a good base on which you build your article. It is a good idea to start with a website of your own, that way you would see how good is your work. Else, you could write publications for a friend of yours. What really matters in writing simple articles is to be experienced, so just get down to practicing. While working, try to enjoy it.

Clawd Wolf - The New Monster High Doll

Draculaura_and_clawd_wolf_gift

I'm a huge fan of the Monster High Dolls from Mattel. I've loved them from the start because they are different. They're not like Bratz or Barbie because well......they're monsters. The thing is they're teenage monsters and they are all really cool and fashionable with out being too over the top girly. The Monster High Dolls even have boy dolls as part of their range and they have trademarks like tattoos and eyebrow piercings. Finally a range of dolls that are refreshingly different! Check out the latest boy doll to be added, Clawd Wolf. He's the son of Werewolves and the brother of Clawdeen Wolf, one of the popular girl dolls. He's the captain of the football team and he's 17, cool and can drive.

Spectra Vondergeist

Spectra_vondergeist_monster_hi

Spectra Vondergeist is the latest addition to the Monster High Dolls. How Exciting!! She has long purple hair and purple lips.

She's a gorgeous ghost who floats around Monster High, you never know when she'll pop up. She has the ability to overhear all the latest gossip and rumor has it she is responsible for the Monster High advice column "Oh My Oracle".

Spectra Vondergeist comes with her funky purple pet ferret who is also a ghost called Rhuen.

The Monster High Dolls keep getting better and better. There's so many to collect and they're all so different. I love them!! I want to buy Monster High Dolls because they are refreshingly different. They're fashion dolls but not real girly girl dolls which is why they are so popular. They even have boy dolls which is really cool.


Frankie Stein Black And White Limited Edition Doll

Frankie_stein_black_and_white_

Frankie Stein Limited Edition Collector Doll comes in a special box to protect the gate fold inner box which contains Frankie Stein in mint condition.

Frankie Stein has been created in retro black, white and silver which makes her very different. If you’re a doll collector then this doll is a must have. Being a limited edition it will only increase in value as people try to get their hands on one.

This rare limited edition also comes with Frankie’s dog Watsit, chrome brush and accessories.

I suspect that this won't be the only limited edition doll in the Monster High Doll series. From time to time there will be others released. Keep your eyes open!!
