			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://businessworldtoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/sdm_class08.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-86" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Students are finally qualified" src="http://businessworldtoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/sdm_class08-150x150.jpg" alt="sdm_class08" width="150" height="150" /></a>It is not until they are well on their way to graduate school that many people start to think about their career prospects more seriously. As it were, when people first sign up for undergraduate studies, they usually don’t give too much thought into what they are pursuing and what their career prospects with it are, since the idea in most undergraduate study programs is to build the student’s general knowledge base anyway. It is therefore only after their undergraduate studies that the business minded go on to business school, with the kind-hearted (or increasingly the money-minded) going to medical school, the godly going to bible school and so on and so forth. Along these lines, a trend that is increasingly being noticed is where people are pursuing Master’s degrees in project management after their undergraduate degrees – or where people who have a Master’s degree in other fields, say MBAs are looking for additional qualifications in project management – say project management certifications.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So why would anyone go for a Master’s degree in project management?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For one, a master’s degree in project management &#8211; or at least some project management certification &#8211; is just what the employers are looking for. In today’s world, and especially after the release of highly influential literature and programs like David Allen’s ‘Getting Things Done,’ everything in the corporate world has come to be viewed as a project, and a person who doesn’t know anything about the mechanics of project management runs the risk of alienating themselves from today’s ‘project-minded’ workplace.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Go through any forum where jobs are being advertised – and you will always find a clause somewhere in almost every advertisement requiring some knowledge in project management. And although some project management content tends to be included in almost every university business course, a person who has a specific project management certification, or better still a project management degree will always have an upper hand over people who lack the same qualifications. This is because although every business graduate is expected to have some knowledge in project management, having specific certifications in the same is seen as a sign that the candidate in question has real in-depth knowledge in project management. Even in jobs where a project management knowledge is not a direct requirement – for instance in medicine – a professional who goes ahead to acquire a project management certification or even better a project management degree makes themselves a more attractive prospect in the job market, because although they might not explicitly demand it, employers are likely to be impressed by a project management certification, and are also more likely to cherish the prospects of having a person with knowledge about project management around their offices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The beauty of a Master’s degree in Project management is that it is not too demanding, especially for a person who got good academic grounding in their undergraduate schooling. For this reason, people have been known to pursue Master’s degree in project management as their second master’s degrees – and therefore gain the professional esteem which comes with being a multiple master’s degree holder.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://businessworldtoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/emailicon.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-71" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="an email icon" src="http://businessworldtoday.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/emailicon-150x150.jpg" alt="emailicon" width="150" height="150" /></a>A well designed email marketing campaign is one of the tools you can use to take your business to the next level. As it turns out, however, an email marketing campaign is not just about getting people’s emails and then shooting haphazard mails to them. A successful email marketing campaign depends on your crafting a suitable strategy for it and executing the strategy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A successful email marketing campaign – like any other sort of business campaign has to start with a goal-setting and planning phase. You need to work out what it is exactly that you want to achieve through your email marketing campaign – which constitutes goal setting – and then decide the specific steps you will take towards its achievement, which constitutes planning. Planning is basically defined as deciding to what to do in advance, and as the sages always told us, failing to plan is planning to fail.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you get to actual email composition, you have to ensure that everything that goes into the emails is consistent with your goals for the campaign. And this includes the subject line. It is amazing how many otherwise good email marketing messages get ignored just because of a poor choice of an email subject line. Seemingly unknown to the creators of these messages is the fact that most of the messages that get into our inboxes don’t get read – and the decision as to which ones to read and which ones to ignore generally has much to do with the author’s choice of message subject line.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Past the email subject line, you need to compose the body of the emails keeping in mind that email – and the web in general- is a communication channel that is really meant for skimming rather than concentrated reading, and therefore ensure that your core message stands out in your message. Generally people give their full attention to the first few lines of a given email message, before skimming through the rest of the message, and you therefore need to ensure that you put what you consider to be most attractive facets of your message right at the beginning of the message.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Still on the e-mail bodies, you need to personalize your message if you are to make any impact. It is only by personalizing the email message to the interests of the reader that you get any chance of selling anything or any idea to them. Otherwise, all your emails run the risk of getting into that category of mails that are simply read – or rather skimmed through &#8211; and then promptly put on their way to the ‘trash’ folder.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It pays for you to follow up on the emails you send in your email marketing campaigns – but don’t overdoing it – or you will be running at a risk of being labeled a spammer and being blacklisted from many people’s mailboxes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Beyond the specific emails you send, get into an email campaign knowing that you might not succeed at first attempt. The key to success here is what success gurus call failing forward – where you use your failure to learn what works and what doesn’t work &#8211; so that you can use the experiences you so gain in future email marketing campaigns.</p>
