New Video Shows Sheep Being Beaten Before Slaughter

New Video Shows Sheep Being Beaten Before Slaughter

action alert!

A new video shows sheep that have been exported from Australia beaten severely and then left to slowly die with their throats slashed.

We Must Stand Against This Brutality

please share it helps!

When I saw the new video of sheep that had been exported from Australia being killed in Jordan, I felt sick to my stomach. The video shows terrified sheep, some of whom are clearly too weak to stand, being dragged out of pens by their hind legs or tails and beaten severely before their throats are slashed. Children throw rocks at them as they shake in fear; they slip in pools of blood and scream as they try to get away from the men murdering them. 

The Australian government says that animals that are exported live from the country are treated humanely -- does this sound humane to you? 

We already knew that the live export of farm animals from the country was a risk to animals as they travelled. But now we have proof that once the animals get to their destination, at least some will be slaughtered in the most horrifying way possible. How much more cruelty will we take?

It's time for us to stand against this abuse once and for all. Sign the petition to hold these sheep killers accountable for their actions and stop live export in Australia.

Choosing a “niche market”

Choosing a “niche market”

Now that you’re considering opening your own affiliate marketing website, you have to pick a product to sell. In previous articles, we’ve talked about how important it is to pick a product you know a lot about since you’re responsible for writing articles that try to get people to buy your product.

But there is more to it then just writing snappy articles and providing a link at the bottom of the page. Knowing how to market your articles will go a long way in determining if your site is a success or a failure.

In the process of picking out a product, don’t be afraid to go “niche.” What that means, essentially, is don’t worry about picking an item that may only appeal to a small number of people. If you pick something like televisions or books, people can go down to their local Best Buy or Barnes and Noble and get those items. If you deal with a company that most people don’t have in their towns like L.L. Bean or Tower Records, people will be more likely to shop with your affiliate site because of the prestige of those companies. People can get a pair of boots or a CD anywhere, but getting those items from those stores is extra special.

Make sure your content relates to the demographic your after. If you’re selling life insurance, you probably want to have content that is going to connect with older folks, not the skateboarding crowd. And this advice goes the other way, too. If you’re selling skateboards, make sure your content is going to appeal to that generation. You wouldn’t want your content to read like an ad for life insurance. Of course, there are some products, like books and CDs, that cross generations, but you can still write your content so it aims at a particular audience. This is the other side of “niche marketing;” making sure that your content is written for exactly the people you want to buy from you. 

Niche marketing can be a hard skill to master. Most people want to create a broad affiliate marketing site that doesn’t have a lot of focus so that it appeals to the most people. While this is tempting, you can be left with a site that appeals to no one at all. By zeroing in on the group most likely to buy the product you sell on your site, you can lock yourself into a niche market and, chances are, your sales will explode.
