Smooth treadmills, in my opinion are the best buy treadmills anywhere online or off. They pack heaps of features into a durable, quality machine that is priced just right.
Anyone who is looking for a treadmill for their home gym or office should seriously consider a Smooth Treadmill.
These treadmills are manufactured by Smooth Fitness who have been around for over 20 years.
If you have heard of them it's because they are predominantly an online only retailer.
They come highly recommended by Runner's World, Prevention Magazine and Treadmill Doctor to name a few.
Because they are an online business they don't have the same overheads that a normal bricks and mortar business would have.
As a result they are able to pass on these savings directly to you the customer.
What does all this mean you might ask...well quite simply "factory direct prices!"
There is no middle-man so you save 40% - 45% off the normal retail price.
You could quite easily pay $3000 to $5000 for Smooth treadmills but they are very well priced at between $999 and $2999.
There is a treadmill for every budget.
In the low-priced end of the range the Smooth 5.15 treadmill is excellent value for money.
This includes a 10 year motor warranty.
If you can't afford this treadmill I highly recommend saving a bit more until you can.
As I've said in other articles just you can't expect to pay $500 for a treadmill and get a high quality, durable machine!
The Smooth 7.1 treadmill and Smooth 9.15 treadmill are both great treadmills in their own right.
With Treadmill Doctor rating the 7.1 as the "best buy" in the $1000 - $1500 price range and the 9.15 as "one of the best values in the Smooth lineup"
Advantages
Too many to mention here.
Including 10 year motor warranty to save you costly repairs, stacks of benefit laden, inbuilt control features, amazing price for people with either cheap or expensive budgets.
Disadvantages
Very few. They do charge extra for inside delivery and setup but at least they offer this service unlike some other companies.
Recommendation
In conclusion, I highly recommend Smooth treadmills. Apart from the extra cost for indoor delivery and set up, Smooth treadmills could probably be one of the "best buy" treadmills
on the internet. A true diamond in the rough!

How To Kick Your Marketplace (And Your Prices) Up A Notch!
by: Craig Garber
Sometimes all you need is a simple "shift" in your thinking and that missing "link" you've been needing, all of a sudden appears, clear as day.
Here's what I mean: A common problem I see with clients of mine, especially my consulting clients - http://www.KingOfCopy.com/consulting - is that they've got a "decent" product... "decent" marketing... but their target audience is slightly "off" a bit.
And the thing is, even if you've got an AWESOME product... and AWESOME marketing... if your target marketplace isn't spot on...
You're Always Going To Be Sucking Wind And Struggling!
So here's a brief example of what I mean: Let's say you're selling some kind of accessory that truly improves the quality of a children's outdoor sporting activities, giving them a better experience.

Unique Mother's Day Gift - No More Flowers and Chocolate
Unique Mother's Day Gift - No More Flowers and Chocolate
by: William Jacobson
With Mother?s Day approaching fast, it?s time to begin thinking about how best to express how much Mommy Dearest means to us. If you?re like most, Mother?s Day has become a routine that consists of a greeting card, a bouquet of flowers, and a phone call to say "I love you". And though mom surely loves the sentiment, perhaps 2005 should be a year when you put a bit more creativity into your gift idea.
How about giving the gift of art? Several businesses across the country create one-of-a-kind, stylish, and sentimental works of art from customers? photographs, often for a price less than what you?d pay for a mass-produced department store print.
Here are just a few examples:
How To Find The Perfect Images Online
by: Jim Edwards
Has this ever happened to you?
You need a photo for a website, brochure, flyer, or CD / DVD cover.
You buy one of those 100,000 photo and clipart collections on 10 CD-ROMs hoping to find the "perfect" picture, but after hours of searching you find your brain tired, your mouse hand numb, and no "perfect" photo in sight.
Fortunately, the photo and clipart business got a lot smarter online, and anyone who ever needs good photos at rock bottom prices stands to benefit.
Buying one of those mega-photo collections to find one photo rates about the same as buying an entire aisle at the supermarket in hopes of finding a single Snicker bar!
Personally, my shelves hold over 2,000,000 photo and clipart images on over 100 CD-ROMs, most of which rate quite useless to me.
To further complicate matters, photo collections on CD-ROM tend to go out of date.
Many of the photo...

Buying Tips When You're Camping
Buying Tips When You're Camping
by: Gray Rollins
Whether you are an experienced camping enthusiast or you are starting off on your first camping experience, it is important to have the proper gear and equipment. Many of the supplies can be expensive and some items may be hard to find. To get the most for your money, though, there are several tricks you can employ.
Plan
Unless you have an unlimited budget, a camping trip is not something where you can get everything at once without a bit of planning. Research where you will be going, the conditions that will be present and the climate. Make a list of all the supplies you will need and determine what items you have available and what items you will need to purchase. If you start early enough, you?ll be able to spread purchases over a longer period of time so it does not take as big a hit to your budget all at once.
Budget
Research on the Internet or at local sporting goods stores...
