BOCA RATON, FL -- 05/25/10 -- MediaNet Group Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MEDG), a worldwide marketing firm, today announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended March 31, 2010.

For the second quarter ended March 31, 2010, revenues increased 41% to $7,030,213 compared to $4,999,126 for the second quarter ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit in the second quarter was $2,665,566, or 38% of revenues, compared to $1,958,549, or 39% of revenues, in the same period of 2009, an increase of 36% over the second quarter of 2009. Net income in the second quarter was $836,601 resulting in earnings per basic share of $0.03 and per fully diluted share of $0.00, as compared to net income for the second quarter of 2009 of $676,382, and earnings per basic share and fully diluted share of $0.03.

In the same period of 2009, the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 20,674,802 on both a basic and fully diluted basis. The increase in basic shares outstanding between the periods is primarily attributable to the exercise of warrants. The substantial increase in fully diluted shares outstanding is due to our issuance of 5 million shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in October 2009.

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, revenues increased 77% to $14,520,401 compared to $8,187,410 for the six months ended March 31, 2009.

Net income in the first six months of 2010 was $1,293,470 resulting in earnings per basic share of $0.05 and per fully diluted share of $0.00, as compared to net income for the first six months of 2009 of $562,286, and earnings per basic and fully diluted share of $0.02. In the first six months of 2010, the weighted average number of basic and fully diluted shares outstanding was 28,484,206 and 277,167,462, respectively, as compared to the same period of 2009, when the weighted average number of shares outstanding was 20,674,802 on both a basic and fully diluted basis.

Commenting on the first half of 2010 results, Michael Hansen, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are excited that our unique operating strategy successfully maintained momentum and growth during the first half of 2010. We have successfully commenced our US operations to one single location in Boca Raton. We believe that the execution of our prudent and measurable operating strategy will continue to widen the gap between DubLi and any potential competitors during a time where many established shopping portals are struggling due to lack of flexibility and scalability. Our comprehensive operating, growth and financial strategies of the entire DubLi universe are all designed to maximize our relationship with the end consumer and provide them with the best possible experience when visiting our site. We continue to deliver a superior product that has genuine value to the consumer which we believe will drive them to return to our model. One of our competitive advantages is that our business model allows us to offer whatever is in demand at a particular moment in time, regardless of economic issues, and without having to consider ties to any vendor or manufacturer."

Kent Lee Holmstoel, Chief Operating Officer, continued "While executing on growth strategy we have simultaneously been investing considerable time, resources and capital into technology that we believe will set new trends for Internet shopping in the future. These investments include providing proper training and support of our sales and marketing engine, DubLi Network, as well as developing our global auction portal that will allow us to capitalize from consumers all over the globe. We are also focused on continuing to identify and take advantage of the changing dynamics of consumer behavior by giving them tangible aspects from which to continue to return to our portals."

Local delivery for Australia will begin! Beginning in June, the auction products will be delivered through a central and local DubLi facility in Australia. New Zealand customers will receive items from the Australian distribution center as well. Bottler!

Some of these new merchants include: Lenovo, Dell, Vodafone, Hotels.com, Qantas, and Budget, just to name a few. The Australian mall now offers nearly 600 merchants for a large variety of products and all of their shopping needs. And, the expansion will not stop there.

How to Write Email That Gets a Response

2010-04-16T12:13:00.000-07:00

Cynthia Mittelsteadt

Everyone these days writes email, whether for business, job search or personal communication. This article helps you to learn to write email that's easy for the recipient to understand and will more likely send a response.

I write hundreds of emails a week and still learn something from every email. Most of us did not learn to write email in school, yet knowing how to write email is an invaluable skill in the workplace. This is particularly true for those in (or looking for) telecommuting jobs or home businesses.

A well-written email makes it easy for the recipient to understand and act on its message. In the job search, email may precede or even replace the face-to-face first impression, so proper punctuation and coherent messages are key. And for business communications, unclear emails cause confusion and delays. Follow these tips to write effective emails to colleagues, clients, prospects, hiring managers and even friends and family.

First, consider the message and the recipient.

An email should start in your mind, not with your fingers on the keyboard. To write email effectively, first consider why you are writing it. What kind of response would you want? What message do you wish to impart? If you are requesting information, applying for a job or promoting a product or service, be sure your request for action by the recipient is clear.

Next, consider the point of view of the recipient. What information does he or she need to take action or understand your message? Give necessary (but not excessive) background information. Also keep in mind appropriate etiquette for this particular recipient. Emoticons and abbreviations, like OMG or LOL, are not appropriate in job applications and business email.

Write a good email subject line.

When you write email, do not leave the subject line blank or write something vague like "hi" or "work at home jobs." Emails with this kind of subject line have a good chance of ending up in the recipient's spam box or simply being ignored. If you are applying for a job, put the name of the position in the subject line. If the email is for business communication, make your subject line a short phrase that sums up the purpose of the message. To compose the perfect email subject:

Give the message's bottom line. If your email comprises multiple topics, consider breaking it into multiple messages.
Summarize the message — why you are writing and what you want to be different after the recipient has read your email — instead of describing it. If you invite somebody to a Webinar, use "Invitation: DubLi Online Shopping Training, Tuesday, April 13, 2010 6:00 PM” instead of a plain "DubLi Online Shopping Training".
Be precise. Include detail that allows the recipient to identify what you are talking about quickly and unambiguously.
If your message requires the recipient's action, say so; preferably with the first word.
Leave out unnecessary words. Email subjects need to be concise. Skip articles, adjectives and adverbs.

Greet the recipient properly.

If you know the name of your recipient but don’t personally know him or her, greet by using a title, i.e. Dear Ms. Brown. (Use “Ms.” for women when uncertain whether “Mrs.” or “Miss” is appropriate.) If you are uncertain about gender, simply use the first and last name, i.e. Dear Chris Smith. If you don’t know the person’s name, begin your email with no greeting or use a simple greeting, i.e. Hello, Greetings, Dear Manager, etc.

If the email is to a colleague or someone else you know use the name you would use in person or on the phone.

Use correct grammar and punctuation.

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to use correct grammar in email. Consciously or subconsciously, readers penalize senders for grammatical errors.

Run-on sentences - When you write email, don't spare the periods. That small pause gives readers time to take in the words' meanings. Short sentences allow for more of these tiny pauses. Break up long sentences even when they are not technically run-on sentences.
Commas - Too few or too many commas can be confusing. Learn to use the comma correctly.
Subject-verb agreement - Sentences with this type of error are red flags for employers seeking candidates with good communication skills. Review rules for subject-verb agreement.

Check spelling and capitalization.

Use a spell checker, but don't rely on it. A spell checker won't catch "they" for "the" or "there" for "their." And this type of error indicates carelessness.

Use correct capitalization. Most people know to capitalize the beginning of the sentence and proper nouns, but many fail to do so in emails. Show that you don’t mind taking that extra fraction of a second to hit the shift key. On the other hand, too many capital letters can distract the reader. Avoid writing phrases in all caps (which many interpret as the equivalent of screaming in person) as well as capitalizing, just for emphasis, the first letter of words that are not at the beginning of a sentence or proper nouns.

Use simple formatting in email.

Remember that email programs all display differently. What looks perfectly aligned on your screen may run together on someone else's. For this reason, avoid pasting a highly formatted word-processing document, like a resume or cover letter, into an email. Use documents that are written in plain text format.

Make paragraphs short. Like periods, paragraph breaks give the reader's eye a rest. Someone reading email on a small screen, like a Blackberry, will benefit from short paragraphs. But be careful to still follow basic rules regarding paragraphs.

Be concise.

Meandering emails that bury the point get put aside in a folder and eventually forgotten. Or worse, they may be misunderstood. Make your purpose clear, using concise language.

Eliminate wordiness. Write with active verbs. "Jack sent me the forms" uses an active verb. "The forms were sent to me by Jack" is passive. The passive form only uses a few more words, but it adds up. More than that, it requires readers to rearrange the ideas in their heads.
Stick to the point. Resist the temptation to add extraneous information or ideas. Save these for another email.
Use bullet points. These allow your reader to use visual clues to take in what's important. But if in doubt about how bullets will display, use asterisks or hyphens to create bullets.

Sign email appropriately.

If your email defaults to a standard signature be sure it is appropriate for the particular email you are sending. Signatures with political statements or the names and ages of your children are fine for personal email, but for work use a less personal signature. Depending on your business and your employer, you may still personalize your email signature with a quote. But choose something non-controversial. If you are inquiring about a job, use your signature to give appropriate contact information without any quotes or extra personalization.

Reread/rethink before hitting send.

Check for spelling and punctuation errors before you hit send. If you find an error in an email for a job application, fix it then reread again before you hit send. But also reread for content. If your email is long, think about ways to make it more concise. And if your email is controversial or was written in anger, hit save not send. Come back to it a few hours or a day later and see if you still want to send it.

Send a Test Message

Before you actually send your email, send the message to yourself first to test that the formatting works. If everything looks good, resend to the employer.

DubLi Customer Affiliate Program Pays Consumers to Shop Online

2010-03-30T21:52:00.000-07:00

Cynthia Mittelsteadt

Since March 15, 2010 when DubLi launched its Global Customer Affiliate Program consumers have join the DubLi Online Shopping Community and are redeeming their $500 Resort Voucher for their Spring Break vacations. Many of our Customers tell us without these free vouchers they would not have been able to take a spring break vacation this year because of worries of a worsening recession.

The DubLi Customer Affiliate program is way to virally expand its global online shopping community by the powerful word of mouth marketing. There is no membership fees to become part of the program. To become a Customer Affiliate a member makes an initial $8 investment to purchase 10 credits (bids) in the DubLi reverse auctions. New Customer Affiliates receive a $500 Travel Voucher good at 8,000 resorts and hotels worldwide. US DubLi members also receive a $25 gift certificate from restaurant.com.

DubLi Shoppers are using their credits to purchase products and gift cards they need for their vacation and things they purchase all the time. Gas cards, grocery store, department store and chain restaurant gift cards and cash cards are particularly popular.

10 Tips to Turn an 80¢ Credit into Hundreds of Dollars in the Xpress Auction

Before clicking on the SHOW PRICE button, have a price in your mind that you are willing to pay for the item. How much below the lowest price online is a Good Deal for you?
If you are bidding on a gift card or debt card, do some research. Many of the gift cards in the auction are available in the DubLi Cash Back Rewards Mall. If the gift card is available check the cash back reward. Reduce the bid price by that amount then subtract $7 (USA) or $13 AU) for shipping to determine the real starting price of the gift card. For example, Sears and Macy’s give a 7% cash back reward on their gift cards in the Mall. A $100 card purchased in the Mall costs $93 and shipping is free. The starting price you should have in your mind for a $100 should be below $86 ($7 cash back reward + $7 shipping) How much below the calculated start price is a Good Deal in your mind?
Write down and always remember to check bidding history to see how much time has transpired since your last bid, before bidding again. Your bidding history also lets you know if the item is still in an active auction.
Understand time!!! DubLi is a 24 hour auction and takes place on a global online platform. One shopper’s down time can be another shoppers bidding time.
Invest in a mobile phone with internet access for times when you may be away from the computer.
Products differ in popularity, so the final discount price will differ as well. One auction can last minutes, while other can be on the auction for months. Keep true that “good deal” price in your mind. It is better to pass if it is not Your Price. You will always get a chance to get the item in another auction.
If you need to bid a second time, always calculate how many bids have been placed between your two bids. Timing is everything. Use this formula: 25¢ equals 1 bid by one shopper. If the price is $60.50 on your first bid and at $48.00 on your second bid, 50 bids were made between your two bids. The price decreased by $12.50. If two hours have elapsed during these two bids that would be 25 bids per hour. Keep a record of your bids including current price, discount, date and time.
Always add in the shipping cost to your item’s final price, this will vary depending on geographical location in the world. If you find a product online with the same as DubLi’s starting price and the merchant offers free shipping report this to DubLi and they will pay the shipping and give you 10% of the shipping cost because their price was not the lowest price online.
Buy when the price is right for you, but also note that each shopper is practicing this also. So don’t get discouraged when you lose an auction. Go back and check your bidding history and adjust your shopping strategy accordingly. If the product is a popular item, DubLi will put another one on the auction as soon as one ends.
Be realistic, not all products are going to sell between 80% to 98% discount. Depending on the product be happy with a reasonable discount. As a DubLi Shopper you already have the lowest price guaranteed in the world.

Price Guarantee – DubLi Match any Price Plus 10%

The starting price in the DubLi Xpress Auction is the lowest price found online guaranteed by DubLi’s Best Price Guarantee. If you find a competitor who has the same product at a lower price than DubLi’s, within two weeks after you have purchased the item, DubLi will not only match their price but also credit your account with 10% of the difference. For example you purchase an item from us at $100 and you find another vendor who has the same product and is advertising it for $90, DubLi will credit you the $10 difference plus an additional $1.00 for a total of $11.00.

Tell A Friend Keeps You Flush in DubLi Auction Credits

DubLi pays its Customer Affiliates 5 auction credits worth $4 for every friend they tell about the Customer Affiliate program. Your friends will love you because when they purchase 10 credits for $8 they get the $500 Travel Voucher and the $25 restaurant.com gift certificate. Build up your credit bank, tell all your friends.

Complementary Care that Reduce the Side Effects of Antibiotics

2010-03-30T21:41:00.000-07:00

Cynthia Mittelsteadt

If you've got a bacterial infection, taking a course of antibiotics should help restore you to health. But these powerful drugs (which include penicillin, amoxicillin, and tetracycline, to name a few) can cause some unpleasant side effects, such as yeast overgrowth and gastrointestinal trouble.

The first step in protecting yourself from these adverse effects is to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. Since antibiotics can only treat bacterial infections (like strep throat, urinary tract infections, and severe sinus infections), they won't be effective against viral infections that cause the common cold, flu, or bronchitis. In addition to the risk of unnecessary side effects, inappropriate use of antibiotics can promote the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and leave you vulnerable to incurable infections later on.

If you find yourself in need of antibiotics, however, you might want to consider ways to reduce your risk of side effects.

Here are three ways to support your system while you're on antibiotics.

Probiotic Supplements

Antibiotics don't just kill the bacteria causing your sickness; they also wipe out beneficial bacteria (called probiotics) that contribute to a healthy digestive system. Taking a probiotic supplement could help prevent gastrointestinal problems resulting from antibiotic use, according to a research review published in 2008. Probiotics, also found in fermented foods like yogurt and kefir, can help stave off yeast infections as well. Learn more about probiotics.

Herbal Tea

If you experience nausea while taking antibiotics, try sipping ginger tea to soothe your stomach. Another common complaint among patients on antibiotics? Loose stools, which may be relieved by drinking raspberry leaf tea. Learn more about herbal teas

Milk Thistle

Taking antibiotics can tax your liver, which is responsible for breaking down the medications you ingest. The herb milk thistle has been associated with protective antioxidant effects on the liver. Milk thistle is a plant native to Europe. It has a long history of use as a folk remedy for liver and gallbladder disorders. The active constituent of milk thistle is thought to be silymarin, a flavonoid found in the seeds. . Learn more about milk thistle

Prevent Bacterial Infection

To reduce your risk of bacterial infections and lower your chances of having to use antibiotics, strengthen your immune system by following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, getting plenty of sleep, and managing your stress with the help of meditation and relaxation techniques.
