It's true that you can learn all most anything online, but nothing beats having a real live person teach you something new. There are many times I've envied a friend's ability to sew, knit or make jewelry. I've even gone as far as to ask for lessons. The problem is that teaching a new skill involves a significant time commitment. Time is the one gift that we are most reluctant to give to others. As a result most people don't share their hard learned skills with others as often as they should.
Sometimes it's an issue of self confidence. Often we underestimate the value of our skills. You may not be able to recreate a period Elizabethan gown, but you can thread the sewing machine and make small household items. Teaching someone else the basic fundamentals of a new skill is an incredible gift.
So think of what you can do. Can you sew, knit, crochet, decoupage, cook, can, dance, sing, spin, batik, or make jewelry? Can you paint a wall, change your own oil, use a belt sander, weld, fix a flat tire, lay carpet, change a fuse, or replace the parts in a toilet? Can you use Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, or set up a blog? You'd be surprised how much accumulated knowledge you can share with others.
Watch those around you. See what things they do well and what they struggle with. If your grandma always needs your help to send an email then gift the gift of computer lessons. If your girlfriend never changes her own oil gift her the gift of independence by teaching her to do it for herself.
Sharing your skills and knowledge with others is giving a gift that forever changes another person.

Bathroom Accessory Tips
Getting to the toilet, you now can choose from a nice selection of toilet designs to completely get away from the traditional look of toilets, and if you have enough room in the new bathroom you could install and extra toilet, just so no one has to wait in line.
Sinks have also changed drastically over the years, and you can choose from many different types, the faucets can even have a gold color now instead of stainless steel. The sink could have shelves installed underneath for added storage space. And you could also add more storage space by putting an over the toilet, type of shelf. These over the toilet shelves are not very expensive and can be purchased in many department stores as well as the home improvement store.
If you are just trying to make a small bathroom more spacious and still have a warm atmosphere, you could add a large mirror where it will reflect the light from the window as well as the overhead light. For more light when you are shaving or for those that need extra light to put on makeup, you could also install a mirror above the sink that has lights surrounding mirror itself, and you could have an extra switch install just for that particular light.
Picture in your mind just how you would like your bathroom to look then look in magazines or go on the internet, or your local home improvement store to get ideas of what sort of accessories you would want installed in your new bathroom. You can also talk to your best friend they can come up with some very good ideas. If you are having a contractor to do the installations, then getting some ideas from them will be very helpful, they do this sort of thing all the time and they usually know right off hand where to find what you want and where are the best prices.

1. Find someone in your target market that either publishes an ezine or has a website. Ask them if they would like to join your affiliate program and promote your offers in their ezine, or on their site. In return, youll give them the product at no charge, and if you have an ezine or website, offer to promote something for them. Remember to make it an irresistible offer for them!
2. Use your own visitors and subscribers. Give them something free that has some sort of small advertisement of yours on or in it. It doesnt have to be a flashing sign. Just a subtle ad with your URL or subscribe email placed somewhere visible. By using this method you could have your little ad all over your entire market! It takes a snowflake to start a snowball! Your visitors and subscribers will be happy to get something for free, and theyll be even happier that it doesnt have ads ALL over it. DONT get greedy. Give a little and get a lot! Find someone else in your market that does the same thing. Offer to give their give always out if in return they give your give always out.
3. If you cant beat em Join em! Round up several others in your market who you think there would be a mutual benefit to partner with. Have a Joint Venture team. Your team could pool your resources and beat the big guys in your market. Those in your Joint Venture team could cross promote each others products, services, and/or programs also!
4. Find 5, 10 or however many ezine publishers who are in your target market. Offer them all discounts to their subscribers on your offer. Give them your product for free also. Let them know that you are partnering with other ezine publishers for your discounted offer, and that you will give the ezine publisher who produces the most result a bonus. Just make sure your bonus is GOOD! Make it something unique and semi-personal. Ive always thought when rewarding someone I do business with that I shouldnt give them a business gift. Try giving a semi-personal personal gift. You may not really know that person, but there are sites online that will tell you the gifts women like and the gifts men like. Use those sites to find semi-personal gifts. (*Please note that this does say semi-personal. Business is business, so make sure your gift/bonus is appropriate.)
5. I got a great idea from a site the other day. This is a WONDERFUL idea. The basics of the concept are placing other peoples ads on your Thank You page. What a great time to send your customer off to your most trusted JV partner while the customer still has their credit card out! Youll want to be careful when doing this though. Make sure youve already sold that customer all that you can before passing them to your Joint Venture partner.
6. Contests are a WONDERFUL way to market, and you can conduct them for any type of market. Contact an ezine publisher or website owner in your market. Offer to hold a contest giving away an item or items you are offering. In return for this, ask that they run your ad, or place your ad on their website. If its a really good contest, ask that they run your solo ad, or put your ad in a very prominent spot on their site. Another way to use contests is by doing a contest swap. Let them know youll promote their contest if they promote yours. If they dont have one offer to come up with one for them. Explain the benefits behind having a contest. Offer to have one for them. Let them know youll donate the prize (it doesnt have to be anything really expensive) if they would like, and show them how to set it up. This is relationship building at its best. The next time you approach that person with a JV they will trust you because you were willing to go out of your way to help them.
7. We all know that article writing is one of the best ways to market. You show people that you know something about the topic you are writing on, you are automatically giving them something (your article), and its a viral way of marketing. Your article could go all OVER the place. Online and offline. If you know an ezine publisher or website owner who publishes articles on your market topic, ask if they would like to swap articles. You promote their article, and they will in turn promote your article. The best thing about this idea is you can do it with many people, and you can do it over and over by writing new articles.
8. Another writing idea would be for you to write a column on your market and offer it to an ezine publisher or website owner. I would suggest that you write unique content for each ezine publisher or website owner if you want them to advertise you or for you. I know ezine publishers and website owners would go for this idea because as an ezine owner and website owner, I am currently seeking several people to write original content for my many sites and ezines in exchange for free advertising.
9. Swap business cards with others in your market. Your hand out your joint venture partners business cards and they hand out yours. This is just like word of mouth advertising, which is the best kind around. Business cards are a wonderful way to put your advertisement in someones hands. Putting it in their hands in one of the keys to selling.
10. If publishing and ebook, you could offer part of your ebook for free. Offer one chapter to potential customers, so that they can your ebook. Find other ebook publishers in your market and ask if they could do the same with their ebooks. If they agree you could advertiser their free chapter, and ask that they advertise your free chapter in return. This can also be done with membership sites. Offer a 3-day free trial. Find others in your market that offers memberships to their sites. You advertise their free trial, and ask that they advertise yours. What about software? Many people offer free trials for software. If you offer a free trial to your software, Search for software related to your market. When you find software that isnt in competition with yours, but that would compliment the other persons software, contact them and ask to do a JV where you promote their software and they promote yours! Im sure you can think of a way to do this with your product or service.
11. Survey swap? You bet! Surveys are hot right now. Sometimes you have to offer your visitor or subscriber a little bit of an incentive to do it, but the information you will get is well worth it. Find others in your market that asks their visitors or subscribers to take surveys. Let them know that you also ask your visitors or subscribers to do take surveys. Ask if they would put a link to your survey on their site, and in return you could do the same thing. If you are asking for personal information on your survey be sure not to share that with the other website owner. If you do, make sure that it is noted in your privacy policy or you could lose visitors or subscribers.
