This is a Massachusetts guided fishing charter on the edge of a surface blitz casting from a boat not surf casting for stripers. The location is north of Boston but not in Maine or New Hampshire. One striped bass fishing tip, use slug-gos. We were not fly fishing on this day. This video features a triple hook up on big stripers where one angler tightens his drag too much and snaps off a monster! For more info look up www.massachusettsflyfishing.com or www.rpmoutdoors.com

Pay per click (PPC) advertising is the hottest and perhaps most effective way for many Internet advertisers to reach their intended audiences. It is a marketing device that should be included in the tool box of any company which has or plans to have a presence on the net. The keys to pay per click are deciding what type of clicks to use and how to make sure that each click targets the audience a company wants to reach.

Technically, Alexander Bain’s 1842 image reproducer (a pendulum moved across one image, and passed along the electric signal to another pendulum which reproduced the image on chemically treated paper) is often considered the first facsimile [Fax] machine. However, it wasn’t until the 1980’s when the fax machine became a common fixture in business, and had its greatest impact in how companies could finally communicate. Need a contract signed fast? Fax it for a signature. Want to let your clients see your newest sales flyer? Fax the circular right over the phone line. Misplaced a purchase order? Have a copy faxed back to you… The bulky machines usually took up far more space on the counters and desks than merchants wanted, and they had that incredibly annoying roll of paper that never seemed to tear off properly – and of course you almost assuredly would have the roll run out right in the middle of the most important documents. Paper jams were plentiful as you would try getting sheets to line up straight, and it usually happened far into the count when you were almost done sending the last sheet. Frantic calls of apologies for having to resend pages and pages multiple times – apologies because fax paper was far from cheap – you could finally breathe a sigh of relief once everything had finally gone through. Of course, during the whole transmission, your phone line was tied up sending the documents, so you had other clients frustrated they couldn’t send you the pages they were battling with. Ah, fond memories. Having a fax machine was a true sign of ‘being in business’, and we were so proud that we had the latest and greatest technology back then. THE FAX IS NOT OBSOLETE With computers, the internet, and email being such a standard part of almost every business now, you might think that the days of the fax machine have long since passed. Well, think again … For proof that faxes are indeed a solid requirement for modern business, simply check the contact information from any major office website. Chances are you’ll quickly spot a fax phone number. Likewise with any sales executive or corporate business card: again, the company fax number will usually be included. When computers first advanced to common usage, they often included a fax modem (connecting over dial-up internet services). Though the computer often replaced the bulkier fax machines in small businesses since it could do basically the same job, there was a temporary decrease in the number of dedicated fax machines. However, with broadband connections now available, most computers just aren’t equipped with straightforward faxing capabilities anymore. There are many outside services which now provide faxing service when needed by the average person (at printing stores, postal offices, and local shops). This is fine for the general once-in-awhile type usage, but to operate a business efficiently, you can’t have the staff running down the street every time to need to fax a client. THE MARRIAGE OF OLD AND NEW TECHNOLOGY Most departments maintain email accounts for each of their departments and key personnel. Using an outside e-Faxing Service to provide your dedicated fax system is not only much more cost effective, it’s also more flexible. Clients can fax their material, just as they normally would to your personal fax number, and the document can be retrieved directly from your email – whether you’re at the office, at home, or on the road. Let’s take faxing even one exciting step further: how about the ability to send and receive all your faxes right from your personal PDA or Smart Phone! Talk about portability, now you never need to worry about missing that critical document. Need to write up some last minute deal closers, and get them to your client straight away? Type, Click, and Send – you’re fax is on its way! It’s like having your office fax with you at all times: for both receiving and sending. Whether from your desktop, your laptop, or even your coat pocket while travelling; you’re no longer tied down to an oversized clunker. Your portable faxing service is with you wherever you go. Now you’re ready to do some real business!

For a virtual assistant, work is inherently wrapped up with technology since that’s how they keep in touch with their boss. Cell phones, the internet, laptops and PDA’s all combine to make a great set of tools to keep any business running smoothly. Lately there’s been a slew of new tech that makes the logistics of maintaining a virtual office even easier, including the advent of city wide wireless coverage in many areas and new linkage between various electronic tools. Remote assistants usually cover incoming calls, scheduling, travel arrangements, and whatever else is needed. One of the more liberating developments in tech is the new wireless grids showing up in major cities. Access to the internet is now nearly everywhere and it’s become common for assistants to head to a local coffeehouse with their laptop and PDA phone for a morning of work. Another impact that wireless technology has had is in the transfer of documents and files. Anyone with access to the internet via a wireless service can now upload documents to any number of file sharing sites and transfer them around the world. Fax machines are replaced by scanners and with electronic signatures becoming more and more common it’s not unusual for a contract to be drafted, approved, finalized, sent, signed and returned without being printed out even once. The interlinking of various electronic devices is another part of the new support system that makes a virtual assistant able to get more done with less effort. There are several programs that allow a cell phone to be routed through a laptop, logging calls and allowing contact info to automatically to added to databases. Most PDA’s hook up to laptops as well, both wirelessly and with cables, and schedules can be coordinated and transferred easily. Online accounting systems as well as advanced project software now have PDA applications that allow input from various sources to be instantly uploaded and integrated. A virtual assistant is not always just a single person. There are many companies that provide virtual receptionists as well as remote assistants and these businesses offer staff that can be available round the clock and cover everything from financial reports to website updates. Between all the improvements in technology and the various companies that offer 24/7 administrative support, the work of getting work done is becoming easier.
