If your sales pages hope to cash in on international sales, you can't afford to overlook the universal language of pictures.Pictures and people are inextricably linked. Where there are human beings, there are pictures. From the prehistoric caves at Lascaux to the subway walls of New York, man leaves his mark by making pictures.There's no mystery in that. Pictures are, after all, our first language. As babies, we understand the picture of the apple long before we can read or recite "A is for Apple."Pictures precede language in our development, and supercede language in our adult communications. You may speak only English and the fellow next to you may speak only Hindi, but you can agree on having hamburgers for lunch simply by pointing to pictures on the menu board. That's why pictures are so important when it comes to internet sales.

Whether you have overextended yourself buying a house, and now have mortgage payments you can't afford, or have a number of maxed out credit cards, you may have chosen to keep this information private. Unfortunately, this is not usually the best strategy for getting out of debt. Before you can get out of debt, you need to be honest with yourself and admit that your debt is getting out of control. Facing the problem is the most important, but also the easiest step in regaining control of your finances.For most people who find themselves deep in debt, professional help of some kind is necessary to get back on track. One good place to seek help is the lender who services your debt. Most lenders are eager to solve the problem early, rather than having to resort to taking legal action later.
