Hub You - Body Language in Communication - What Do Your Gestures Say?
Today I want to touch on the costs of getting traffic to your site. Your earnings with Contextual Advertising will only grow when you have visitors who are interested in your ads and click on them. But you gotta have visitors.Here's the formula:Earnings = page impressions * ads per page * click thru rate * average price per clickLet's assume page impression is a constant p.Then earnings = p * CTR * CPC.So calculating how much your traffic is costing you is vital, because it draws from your bottom line.There are MANY ways to drive traffic to your site; the main two, search engine optimization and advertising. Advertising takes on many forms: text ads, banner ads, newspaper ads, links, word of mouth, etc.The most important part to remember is that there is no free lunch. In other words, every form of advertisement costs something. Effort was expended to get you the res
The thing I find fascinating is that most people are blissfully unaware of their own gestures, unaware of their own body language in communication, let alone anyone else’s. These gestures are deep communications that emerge directly from our unconscious mind. So if you decide to s
Internet marketing is the key for any business wanting to increase profits via their web site(s).The main elements of internet marketing are usually pay-per-click (PPC) and search engine optimisation (SEO) and the business generated via the internet could be the difference in making your business a success.Using proven, ethical methods, your website can bring your dreams and business goals to life. No matter if it's a hobby or an established business, using a combination of tried and tested marketing methods, you could see traffic levels increase by up to 2000%, or even more, and most of this can be targeted traffic, which could result in a sale, enquiry or affilliate click revenue.Too many companies rely on their web site alone to generate sales or leads, and this is a fatal mistake.Unless you have a successful name or web site already, the majority of your budget should be spent on Internet marketing or pay-per-click (PPC) to get the traffic to your site. Only when you start to receive revenue from your site, s
One set of people who really know about body language in communication are dancers. Recently, I had the opportunity of working with a well known dancer, who was demonstrating some secrets of what made certain dancers so good. She was talking to me about the importance of certain gestures made by dancers when they are dancing.
She also explained to me that in differing cultures, the gestures women make when dancing are extremely specific, and often depict story's all their own and emphasises the nature of that particular dance. As a younger man, I spent a lot of time in the stunning Spanish city of Granada and attended lots of traditional Flamenco dance and gypsy music events and lots of the images, colours and exciting feelings of those days began to resonate through my mind again when having this explained to me.
In recent months, someone asked me to consider writing a book with them about teaching methods and when subsequently researching child development and their body language in communication, I stumbled across some information that stated that young children develop certain arm and hand gestures shortly before they start to speak.
In fact, I read that both gestures and vocal sounds can be considered as part of a person's symbol-making ability. By "symbol-making ability" I am referring to the spoken word, writing, numbers and pictures; the ways in which we communicate. It is this ability which defines many of us and differentiates humans from the array of other mammals on this planet. However, when we communicate with people, we generally tend to be taught to pay attention to the spoken symbols, in the form of words that people say and tend to ignore body language in communication.
So here today are some steps to follow to heighten your awareness of body language in communication with particular reference to gestures and maybe you can utilise them more yourself.
Step One: Firstly, each time you are having a chat with someone, observe the gestures they make. There will often be patterns and repeated ways of utilising gestures. Notice how certain gestures accompany certain words and phrases. Think about what they are doing with this gesture too.
When you listen to someone, their hands will complement or emphasise what they are saying to you or what they are attempting to communicate. You can watch them paint pictures in the air, and interact with their imaginary world as they speak. Anyone that has ever seen me speak will notice that I have very active hands while speaking, if you listen to the podcasts or my audio programmes, you can even tell that I am using my hands while speaking even though you cannot see me!

There are a number of mortgage lenders advertising loans with “no closing costs.” These lenders brag that the mortgage comes with no closing costs, up-front points, appraisal fees, title insurance, or origination fees. If you sign up for this mortgage you pay nothing out of pocket at closing; sounds like a great deal, right?On the surface, this does sound like a great mortgage deal. It’s what the lender isn’t telling you that make these loans and the mortgage lenders that tout them sleazy.If you were to go out and finance your home with a traditional 30 year, fixed interest rate mortgage the average closing costs would run you between $2,000 and $3,000. This doesn’t include any points you may be required to pay at closing.No closing costs mortgages are simply a way for the mortgage lender to disguise the fees they are charging you. Lenders do this by marking up the interest rate they are charging you by as much as 1 or 2 percent.This markup on the interest rate is going to cost you significantly more than th

There are many people finding love in the workplace, especially when they work in a team or do some long term projects. However, love at work is not always smooth and has certain disadvantages.Of course no company prohibits love at work. However, it doesn't mean they recommend love affairs among their employees. Love is a private issue and most employers don't want their people to think of anything else besides work during office hours. Therefore, if fall in love with a colleague, you have to think twice about whether you two want to make your relationship public or not.When you are in love, you always want to be close to your lover. However, this should be avoided in the workplace. In a company there are usually people of all ages and their views about love and relationships are very different. You must resist your feelings and be careful of offending others. You shouldn't use work time to send emails or messages to each other, even though it may not affect your productivity, it can create a bad impression if you are

You wake up one morning and you have an idea – it’s the kind of idea that will change the world and make you a mega-billionaire in the process. You are incredibly excited about it, pour all your money into the business only to discover that everyone else, except you, has been doing it for years and has a drawer full of them.You create a killer product, throw up a website, wait for the traffic to come expecting everyone to buy your product, yet no one does. You don’t understand it – surely everyone needs your product?These are surprisingly common scenes with people who are new to business. They get excited about their idea without doing the proper market research. You cannot start a business without an idea of who you are competing against and who else your customers may buy from.Why is this so important you might ask?It’s important because you need to understand how your competitors are pricing their product. If all of them have priced it at $67, this may be because that is all the market will pay. If you t

Female Genital Cutting or (Female Genital Mutilation) as some of us would have it, due to its crude nature, dates to the time of the pharaohs in Egypt and is perpetuated in a given community for a variety of reasons. It refers to amputation of any part of the female genitalia for cultural rather than medical reasons.From the late 19th century until the 1950s, clitoridotomy and other more invasive procedures, including excision of the clitoris and infibulation were practiced in Western countries to control female sexuality. Doctors advocating or performing these procedures claimed that girls of all ages would otherwise engage in more masturbation and be "polluted" by the activity. Through the 1950s, some doctors continued to advocate clitoridotomy for hygienic reasons or to reduce masturbation. After one of such procedures, there was a reported case of a two-year-old girl who said that she was not masturbating as frequently as she had used to before the "cut". you or what they are attempting to communicate. You can watch them paint pictures in the air, and interact with their imaginary world as they speak. Anyone that has ever seen me speak will notice that I have very active hands while speaking, if you listen to the podcasts or my audio programmes, you can even tell that I am using my hands while speaking even though you cannot see me!
The thing I find fascinating is that most people are blissfully unaware of their own gestures, unaware of their own body language in communication, let alone anyone else’s. These gestures are deep communications that emerge directly from our unconscious mind. So if you decide to start acknowledging gestures, you are communicating with someone’s unconscious mind and processes, wonderful stuff eh?
Here are three main ways to interact with a person’s gestures:
Step two: Secondly then, once you notice a person’s gestures, feed some of them back to the person. When you refer to something they have said, use their gesture as well. This is known as mirroring or matching, remember from a previous edition of Adam Up I talked about this, do your best not to make it too obvious and not to mimic the person.
Developing rapport with someone has often been described as getting the attention of and communicating with someone’s unconscious mind. When you mirror their gestures back to them, a person’s unconscious mind knows that you have noticed it. As I said, I recommend that you don’t mirror the gesture in full. Let me give you an example, if a person moves their hand in circles as they describe going round and round, you could move your index finger in circles to subtly mirror it.
The second approach to utilising gestures I call referring. So, for example, if someone said “I know there’s the right person out there for me somewhere” and held their hand pointing out in the direction ahead of them as they said it, you can subtly point to the same direction where their hand was guided each time that you refer to it: For example “So this person, you don’t know who they are yet you are looking forward to meeting.” As you refer to them, you match their gesture and point the same way. Just as mirroring did, this sends a covert message to the person that you understand what is going on with them and often that you understand better than that person’s conscious mind does!
Step Three: Investigate how to refer to people’s gestures by doing it more and more.
If someone says “I’d like to do a certain thing, but something else keeps stopping me” while they then hold one of their hands out in front of them, you could highlight the hand and ask them “What is that?” Sometimes people will just frown, or look at you strangely and say “What do you mean?” , but other times, it brings up wonder and amazement– things come into the person’s awareness that they didn’t previously have conscious knowledge of. It can really have a magical effect.
The third way you can use this is with full engagement. I once had a client who said “I’d like to be a great public speaker, but something’s stopping me.” As he said this, he held his hands out about a foot in front of his chest and made an actual pushing motion, as if trying to move a heavy object. I asked “What happens when you just knock that out of the way” and I then pushed hi
