My Favorite Specialty White Bread Recipe

My Specialty White Bread Recipe

1 Cup Warm Water  (Add more if needed to form the dough)

1/4 Cup White Sugar

1 Packet Of Yeast (Any Store Brand Is Fine)

3/4 Tsp Salt  (You can also add seasonings for a special twist - I sometimes use Lowrey's Season Salt)

1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
3 1/2 Cups Of Flour  (All Purpose Flour Is Fine - But Not Self  Rising
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combine these ingredients into a soft dough and knead for about 5 minutes in a very warm room.

Placed in a clean covered bowl and put the dough in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.

After 1 hour put the dough in a loaf pan if you desire a loaf of bread - or shape into small rolls and put the rolls into a pan.  (Spray the pan with cooking spray for easy removal after baking).....

Let your bread loaf or pans of small rolls rise for 30 minutes covered in a warm place.  

After the 2nd rise - bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes.  Rolls only need about 30 - 40 minutes.

** Note*** Some people use variations like adding 1 cup of milk instead of 1 cup of water or melted butter instead of vegetable oil or add a egg to make the original dough...These all are good substitutions but I will advise stick to the original recipe until you get experience... Then try some of these variations.  

Enjoy your soft homemade bread loaves or pans of homemade rolls. They come in handy sometimess......

Peace and blessings

You Tube Marketing For Your Business

I'm fascinated by the growing list of organizations successfully using You Tube for a new kind of PR. Heard of the tie up between Diet Coke and Mentos, the Sony Bravia phenomenon or the Will it Blend? craze? If not, look them up on You Tube, you'll find these companies have secured millions of dollars worth of free publicity for the corporations behind them. Well, I say behind them, it usually starts by accident. Someone posts something that is fun to watch, it just happens to have your brand in it and if you're lucky, it spreads.
It's successful because the audience believes it's been made for their amusement, not for your publicity. And they believe this because it's true.
Engage Audiences on a New Level
This is the challenge for people in business, especially those of us in the communications industry, be they freelance copywriters and marketing consultants like me, to admen, media sales executives or pr consultants. It's to get brands posted on You Tube using genuinely entertaining, engaging and sincere approaches.
Everyone posting to You Tube is potentially an adman for your brand or business. The catch is, that in a world growing in cynicism, if the audience finds out you intended to get your message on there, the message will fall flat: Bang. You've been found out. Get it right, you're on to a winner. Get it wrong, you could look a bit of a fool; but chances are, it will go completely unnoticed. I can't answer the question of what to do for you, there's probably a million or more answers. But if you do decide to get your video camera out and get your brand on You Tube, do it with integrity, sincerity and quality.

Facebook Events To Promote Your Products

One of the most effective marketing tools to promote your business would be through Facebook Marketing. Facebook can help your business grow at low cost and fast rate. Specially, that Facebook has more than 150 million users, it's so easy to reach for your targeted market.
Through Facebook Events, you can spread word out about your upcoming events to hundred millions of people. Facebook events are free application developed by Facebook thus anyone can take advantage to promote marketing events, product launches, new store opening, virtual events, sponsored parties, or transactions etc. You get a fully-featured page, which means you can post on wall, discussion, photos, audios, videos, and links. Plus, an extraordinary add-on is that your event is indexed by search engines.
With Facebook events, you can invite all your friends to your event, and your friends can invite all of their friends. Along with the invitation is a special notification requesting for their RSVPs.
For your event to work, have your page a "share" link. Post it on your wall so that anyone can see it. Then, send reminder because some are too busy that it might skip their minds, and it's the most effective way to drive traffic to your Facebook event. Create a lively discussion about the event to create excitement and interest to your audience. Join other Fanpages or Groups that best describe your target market for the event.
Moreover, you can promote events with highly targeted social ads that Facebook offers. And publish photos or videos of the past events, to show how fun it was. And most importantly, update your page regularly as to let them know your presence and not just a spammer. But don't be repetitive of your messages; be creative on how you will catch their attention and interest.
To make money on Facebook, your event strategies must be creative and don't be afraid to experiment. Facebook Events offers a lot of opportunities for your business and it's up to you how to make use of it.
