Human voice is very powerful, we can express our feelings or even start a war with it. Here are some tips about how to speak powerfully.
There are seven sins in speaking: gossip, judging, negativity, complaining, excuses, lying and dogmatism.
The tricks of speaking powerful can be noted as ‘HAIL’, where H means honesty, A means authenticity, I means integrity and L means love.
There are many ways of speaking and here are some examples:
Register, lower register or lower voice always associate with power.
Timber, you can train your timber with a voice coach.
Prosody, it can impart meaning to our speech.
Pace, quickly or slow or even a silence. Silence can be very powerful.
Pitch, give the same sentence with different meanings.
Volume, we let people really pay attention to ourselves by speaking in a lower volume.
We should also warm up our voice just like when we want to use an engine. People could do vocal warm-up exercises to improve their speaking ability.
Costco wholesale is always attracting people with its lower price on products including food, alcohol, clothing an so on. Costco members can even get ground 10% discount on any Apple products whit Apple’s official warranty. Although Costco does not have large budget for marketing and advertising, with the power of word-of-month, Costco has already lured thousands of customers to get a membership.
Walking in a Costco wholesale warehouse, there are always desks surrounding with people where customers can have a taste of snacks. Sometimes you may even see staffs cooking beef for customers to have a taste. These allow customers to know about the flavor first so they could decide whether they should buy this product or not. By doing these, Costco is marketing its products in a brilliant way while making customers to think that they have took advantage from Costco.
Because of Costco’s products are much cheaper than anywhere else, it created its own membership only business mode which means customers must become a Costco’s member to enjoy the lower price. With the membership, members can even fuel their cars at Costco Fuel with a lower price.
With the membership mode, Costco is building customer profiles at the point-of-purchase to analyse what you bought and when you bought it. Then, based on the analysis, Costco will inform specific customers about discount or sales on their frequent buying product, to lure members come to the warehouse and buy their favourite product.
Every month, Costco will post Costco Coupon Book on their website about on sales products during the following month. Imagining you really want to buy the newest iPhone product – iPhone 11 256Gb but maybe the price is a little bit higher than your budget. Then, by any chance, you browsed a Costco Coupon Book and noticed that Costco is selling it 59$ cheaper that Apple store, what will you do? By keeping including newest products in the market, Costco is attracting more people to join its membership.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
