Content marketing. New Ways to Engage Customers in the Internet Age
For those who were told: "It's impossible." For you
Foreword
If you've ever been frustrated with marketing, this book is for you.
Like you, I hoped that my marketing efforts would pay off. I took on the case and lost. I recovered from defeats and tried again, each time learning from my own mistakes.
I had so many failures that I lost count of them, but I continued to work with unbending perseverance. And in the end everything worked out.
I wrote this book to open a new marketing path for you. Following it, you will need to: 1) focus on the needs of others; 2) give them gifts; 3) engage external experts; and 4) keep your promotional messages in check. These principles are fundamentally different from traditional approach, but they work, and the future lies with them.
Imagine your business is spaceship. Your goal is to direct this powerful aircraft to the frontiers of the unknown. And your fuel will be great content.
People consuming fuel move the ship faster and further. Your promotional messages are securely hidden. And while you fly to new galaxies, you are supported by a huge number of colleagues, potential customers and consumers. You can no longer be stopped.
Your competitors fly in obsolete and not so big rockets. They cannot penetrate the upper layers of the atmosphere. This happens not only because of gravity, but also because many ships simply fall apart, to the great amazement of their owners.
This book is unlike any other marketing book. I didn't watch from the sidelines for those who were successful. All the ideas and principles outlined here have been developed, improved and tested by me in the real thing - my business. And I will tell you in detail about how to implement everything described.
A few words about how to use this book.
It is best to read it from beginning to end. The first chapter will introduce you to the problems modern marketing and will lead to an understanding of the main idea of the entire book - the principle of the "lift force".
The second and third chapters will serve as a foundation. You'll learn how to create a new mission plan for your business and make sure your ideas and inspiration never run out.
Chapters four and five will show you the powerful potential of working with third-party specialists, tell you how to find them and attract them to your business. This is an integral part of the lifting force that most entrepreneurs do not use. Pay attention to it, because this approach will distinguish you from the rest.
In Chapters Six, Seven, and Eight, we'll learn the art of creating compelling content that fuels your business. I will introduce you to conventional and nuclear fuels. The purpose of the first is to ensure that your ship is moving normally on a daily basis. In its turn, nuclear fuel(exclusive information) will allow you to develop more speed and attract the attention of many people.
Chapter 9 explains what it means to "keep in line" advertising messages and how to use traditional marketing techniques in new ways. You will learn that aggressive methods are not necessary to achieve impressive results.
I hope this book will serve as a reliable guide for you. Study, test the methods outlined here and watch what happens.
In addition to the book, I created the website ElevationPrinciple.com. Be sure to watch the videos - they will give you new ideas for business development.
See you in space!
Rockets don't fly by themselves.
Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws and follow them, the cosmos will treat you favorably.
Business changes are inevitable. Companies develop, ideas improve, products are updated, customers do not stand still. It is similar to the life of the Universe: celestial bodies rotate in their orbits, everything is in constant motion.
At the start, or already in flight - changes are approaching at the speed of a comet. They do not depend on your will. You have to either accept them or get out of the way.
Yes, it's scary. I am sure you, like any business owner, marketer or aspiring entrepreneur, have experienced uncertainty about the future. I myself have deeply experienced each of the questions that arise in such a situation: “Will my business survive?”, “Am I on the right course?”, “What will happen?”, “Am I ready for this?”
Yet, while change is inevitable, some things remain the same, and for the most part business overlooks this factor. These are people!
People do not change. I'm talking about your customers, clients, partners and colleagues. They can leave you for competitors, but this will not change their essence at all. It is people who can build your business or destroy it.
Before paying for a product or service, people want to get a complete picture of them, to hear the opinion of those they can trust. If you start paying attention to people and their immediate needs, consider that half the battle is done.
My daughters are growing up. Have you ever tried combing a restless child's hair? You have to either follow him or make him stop. Too often we treat customers like children.
Stop imposing your desires on consumers - follow them and watch what happens.
People don't want to be forced into anything. They only need to get enough information to make their choice, and that information should be free.
Three pressing questions
1. As possible without active sales to take a leading position, attract potential customers and get the desired profit? Just imagine: no cold calling, no advertising - nothing that you hate doing or know how expensive it will be.
2. How can you reach influential people in your field? Is there an easy way to get started right away with people whose level is unimaginably high? If they decided to help you, how would it affect your business?
3. Is there any easy way to contact potential and regular customers to win their trust? How can you break through the advertising noise and grab people's attention? Is there a proven way to earn their trust and support?
Marketing Issues
There is an opinion that the success of a marketing policy is associated with high costs.
The American Marketing Association defines it as follows: “Marketing is the activity of creating, Information Support delivery and exchange of goods and services of value to consumers, customers, partners and society as a whole.”
Pay attention to the words "exchange of goods and services." It is believed that the essence of marketing is to create offers that will attract people. We were taught to pick the right words, line them up in desired sequence, place them in the right place in right time and in the right way.
Our marketing is like fishing. We pick up better bait than our competitors, quietly climb into the boat and cast the line towards the consumers - and they bite. The theory is like this.
"Exchange" involves a two-way process between the company and the consumer. But in reality, your business is actively proposing a product or service, and potential client only tested for strength by the strength of your conviction.
Frankly speaking, if there was not even a small rational grain in such an approach, marketing specialists would fly out of business. I am the first to admit that I have used many of these tactics successfully.
However, its weakness lies in the fact that it is impossible to predict exactly when people will be ready to buy your product or service.
For example, I'm going to eventually buy a new car. But now I'm quite happy with what I have. And not a single marketing specialist can even approximately say when I will “ripen”. Someone will pay attention to the recent expensive repairs. Others will base their guesses on how long I've been driving this car or how many miles it has. But no one can say for sure what exactly will make me get rid of it. Yes, I don't know it myself.
It turns out that marketers have to build empirical assumptions about me. But worse, they have to pay other people to access me.
To stay in my field of vision and be heard, they have to advertise in magazines that interest me, television shows, websites, use the airtime of radio stations while I'm driving - and this is only a small part.
Prayer to Saint Barbara for the operation to be successful
Every person in his life faces situations when he needs support. Sometimes help can be obtained from loved ones, but it happens that there is a desire to enlist the assistance of forces from above.
In prayers to heaven, people ask for health, love, well-being in endeavors for themselves and their loved ones. Often faith in the heart and prayer or ritual play important role: give strength at the moment of crisis, help not to stop and go to victory.
The prayer “My angel, be with me, you are ahead - I am behind you” helps a person in situations where it is necessary to start a new business and achieve a positive result. Protective forces will help to see the way out, will guide you along the right and shortest path, which a person will feel intuitively.
How and to whom it helps
If you read the text with pure intentions and with faith in your heart, then it can help anyone. Usually, after several readings, the person asking for help either sees a prophetic dream, or receives an unexpected intuitive revelation: it becomes clear to him where to go and what steps to take in order to achieve the desired result.
People who regularly conduct this prayer ceremony become calm and confident in themselves and their actions. This is not surprising, because they feel a connection with their Guardian and the protection of heaven.
Reading Rules
To transform life and achieve success, prayer is recommended to be read daily, allocating time for the ceremony every morning. If such constancy is difficult for you, then you can resort to the ceremony on especially important days, before significant undertakings. The strength of the music of the words of the proposed text is great, so even with this approach, the Angel will come to your aid.
Having done these actions, you will consecrate all the paths and roads that you walk, enlist the protection of higher powers, good luck will accompany you and your affairs.
Prayer text
The text of the appeal to the Angel is the music of words, pouring from the very heart. Try to hear every sound, every line that you say. Be sure to make sense of them. If you do not know the text by heart, then you can read from the sheet, but, most importantly, from the heart.
Help and luck are needed not only in undertakings, but also in moments when life crises occur, and especially when life is in danger. “My angel, come with me” is another prayer to your Guardian, who will give strength to the person and his relatives to survive the operation.
When needed
This treatment is resorted to before surgical interventions. Any operation causes anxiety in a person and his relatives, which is difficult to cope with. If a sick person or relatives need additional support, ask the heavenly helpers so that everything goes smoothly.
In order for the appeal to God to be heard, the text must be read daily before the operation. Turn to the heavens every time there is anxiety about the outcome of the procedure, as well as when the thought of an upcoming event simply arises.
Prayer to an angel has miraculous power. Even if you do not read it by heart, but in your own words, the action remains the same.
It is believed that when turning, God's Helper:
- will give faith in a favorable outcome of the operation;
- will "lead the surgeon's hand";
- reduce the likelihood of medical errors;
- will help speedy recovery after surgery.
To enhance the power of the text, you can make a charm. To do this, before the operation, you need to write it on a small piece of paper and take it in your hand. If your relative is going to have surgery, then put this sheet in his hand. Put your soul into the creation of the amulet, and the power of prayer will keep you or your loved one throughout the entire process.
When it doesn't help
In some cases, the Guardian will not help. Heaven helps those who strive to lead a righteous life: they keep the commandments and believe that God will not leave them in difficult moments of life.
You cannot count on the power of prayer if:
- do not believe in God;
- envy other people, constantly strive to compare your life with strangers;
- your life is filled with lies;
- do not think about the feelings of other people and are capable of betrayal;
- do not keep the commandment "do not steal";
- pride is the main companion in life, you consider yourself above everyone;
- do not work for the benefit of others, think only of yourself;
- you see only the bad in life, you are not able to enjoy your existence.
Even if you recognize yourself in some of the points, do not despair. Let the probability of the assistance of higher powers decrease, but even sinners can be heard. If you feel the need, pray, because it is at critical moments in life that a person is able to change his worldview, become purer and establish an inner connection with his Angel and God.
Watch a video from one of the prayers to the Guardian Angel.
Who and how to pray for the operation to be successful? It all depends on the nature of the surgical intervention and the disease of the person.
Saint Panteleimon was a healer who was given the gift of healing during his lifetime. Despite the fact that during his earthly life Christians were persecuted by pagans, the saint, before treating the sick, always prayed to the Lord.
Prayer to Panteleimon the Healer
Oh, the great saint of Christ, the passion-bearer and doctor, the many-merciful Panteleimon! Have mercy on me, a sinful servant of God (name), hear my groaning and cry, have mercy on the Heavenly Physician of our souls and bodies, Christ our God, may He grant me healing from a cruel oppressive illness. Accept the unworthy prayer of the sinner more than all people.
Visit me with a blessed visit. Do not disdain my sinful sores, anoint them with the oil of your mercy and heal me; Yes, healthy soul and body, the rest of my days, with the help of the grace of God, I can spend in repentance and pleasing God, and I will be able to perceive the good end of my life. Hey, God's servant! Pray for Christ God, may he grant me, through your intercession, the health of the body and the salvation of my soul. Amen.
Almost every surgeon in the office can see the image of St. Luke Voyno-Yasenetsky. The saint was glorified in 1996.
During his earthly life, he was a famous surgeon who wrote many works on surgery, used in practice until today. Becoming a bishop, he did not leave medical practice. The Lord glorified the Saint for his unshakable faith.
From the relics of St. Luke, many patients received healing. Often, through the prayers of the saint, people who were preparing for the operation were healed, and the need for the operation disappeared.
Prayer to Luka Krymsky
O all-blessed confessor, our holy hierarch Luko, the great saint of Christ!
With tenderness, bending the knee of our hearts and falling to the race of your honest and multi-healing relics, like a child of the father, we pray with all your heart: hear us sinners and bring our prayer to the All-Merciful and Humane God.
We believe more, because you love us with the same love, with which you loved all your neighbors, being on earth.
Ask Christ our God, may he establish in His holy Orthodox Church the spirit of right faith and piety; let her shepherd give holy zeal and care for the salvation of the people entrusted to them: observe the right of the believer, strengthen the weak and weak in faith, instruct the ignorant, and rebuke the contrary.
Give us all a gift that is beneficial to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation: our cities are affirmed, the land is fruitful, deliverance from gladness and destruction, consolation for those who are in pain, healing for those who have strayed on the path of truth, a blessing to a parent, a child to the Lord's strasse upbringing and teaching, help and intercession to the orphans and the poor.
Grant us all your archpastoral and holy blessing, so that by your overshadowing we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and discord, heresies and schisms.
Grant us God-pleasing to pass the field of temporal life, guide us on the path leading to the villages of the righteous, deliver us from air ordeals and pray for us to the almighty God, but in eternal life with you we unceasingly glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, He deserves all glory, honor and power forever and ever. Amen.
They pray to the saint especially before operations from the field of purulent surgery.
The Orthodox Church recorded cases when Saint Barbara helped in critical situations during surgery.
The Holy Great Martyr is depicted on icons, holding a Chalice for Communion in her hand. A person is most afraid of sudden death, especially if he did not repent and did not partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ.
Saint Barbara is asked to prevent sudden death during anesthesia.
If a person is afraid to suddenly die from general anesthesia, it is also recommended to pray to saints who have had similar conditions in their lives:
- To the seven youths of Ephesus, who, by the will of the Lord, fell asleep in a cave and woke up only after 150 years.
- Holy righteous Lazarus, whom the Lord resurrected after 4 days.
- Jesus Christ, who resurrected three days later.
Prayer to the Great Martyr Barbara
pray with us and for us, praying from His benevolence to God, may he graciously hear us asking for His blessings, and will not put aside from us all the necessary petitions for salvation and life, and grant a Christian death to our stomach - painless, shameless, peaceful, I will partake of the Divine Mysteries and to all, in every place, in every sorrow and circumstance, requiring His philanthropy and help, His great mercy will give, but by the grace of God and your warm intercession, soul and body, always stay healthy, glorify God of Israel, wondrous in His saints, who does not remove help Its from us always, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.
- prayers before the operation to St. Luke of Crimea help well. During his lifetime, the surgeon Luka Voyno-Yasenetsky was engaged in healing and saved the lives of many people. They also turn to him with a prayer for a surgeon;
- they turn to the blessed Matrona of Moscow not only before the operation, but also in cases of problems with a child, mother, son and loved one with health;
- prayers are also addressed to St. Panteleimon the Healer - both before and after the operation. He also healed many during his lifetime and put them on their feet.

Prayer "My angel, be with me"
When needed
Prayer before the operation I'm going to the table, I'm not alone; three angels lead me, it has a very great power. How to read it correctly, as well as how to properly prepare for the operation, we will now tell.
- If the operation, my dear, is for you yourself, then it will be useful to read a prayer before the surgical intervention, which is called “I am not going to the table alone.” You can find the text of this prayer in our article.
- Read this prayer without stopping all the way to the hospital.
- It will also not be superfluous to read it to yourself until you fall asleep from anesthesia.
- If the operation is performed not under general anesthesia, but under local anesthesia, then this means that during the whole process you will be conscious and will be able to read the prayer without stopping at all.
- The more times you say the words of this prayer, the better.
- If the operation is not for you yourself, but, for example, for a child or one of your parents, then another prayer will help here, which is the strongest amulet for patients.
- For dad, mom or your child, before the operation, you will need to have time to write the text of a protective prayer on a piece of paper and put it in the hand of a loved one.
- And such a prayer is called "The Dream of the Most Holy Theotokos."
- When you write it on paper, try to delve as deeply as possible into the meaning of the prayer.
- You better learn it and read it yourself operation in progress. So you will only increase the strength of this prayer.
- You can also read this prayer at home in front of the image of the Most Holy Theotokos.
- You can also put an icon with the image of the Virgin to the bed of a patient who is about to have an operation. And during the operation itself, ask to put it in the operating room.
- You can pray in your own words, the main thing is that the words come from the very depths of your soul.
- For example, the text might be: “God, dear, save my little blood (name of the child, mother, father, etc.). Do not let the doctor make a mistake, and let the sick spirit fall. May the Servant of God (name of the patient) live for another century on earth to please loved ones and the Lord good deeds. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. “
- You must remember that the Lord helps only those who honor him and do not violate the commandments.
- Find time to go to church and repent of your sins.
- Remember everyone before whom you are at least guilty of something and ask their forgiveness.
- Do not wish harm to anyone, even if a person has offended you very much.
- Find the strength to forgive your enemies.
- Do not swear and never raise your voice, especially at your children.
- Stay calm and don't let your emotions run wild. This is the essence of the truth of the Lord - to suppress the pernicious passions and emotions that give rise to evil.
- Do not pronounce the word “death” and do not allow thoughts of your death or the departure of your loved one to another world, who is about to undergo an operation.
- Do not wear and do not allow your loved one to wear various pins, needles and so on on the body before the operation. This is a bad sign. Only an Orthodox cross should be on the body.
Now you know in what cases prayer before the operation helps. I go to the table, I am not the only one led by three angels.
Do you know that the prayer before the operation My angel follow me you are in front I am behind you helps to protect yourself from medical errors? If not, then we hasten to inform you about it. We will also tell about who the Angels help, and who does not even have the right to count on their help.
- If the doctor has prescribed an operation for you, and you are afraid of her passion, then in this case we advise you to turn to the Lord for help and to your Guardian Angel.
- Many are helped by a strong prayer to the Angel, which is called “My angel follow me, you are ahead, I am behind you.” Its full text is presented in the photo below.
- You can even pray in your own words, this will not diminish the power of prayer.
- You can say the following words: “God forbid, Lord and my Guardian Angel, from perdition my body and soul. Don't let the surgeon make an incision wrong on my body. I want to live in this white world and I want to lead a correct life, as the Lord commands. Amen! Amen! Amen!"
- Prayer must be read both before the start of the operation, and every day before it.
- The more often you remember your Guardian Angel and our Creator, the better.
- If one of your parents or a child is to have an operation, then in this case you need to pray both to them and to you - their relatives.
- The more a person reads a prayer before the operation of his relative, the sooner God will help.
- You can make a charm for your relative, who is waiting for the operation.
- It is necessary to write the text of the prayer on a piece of paper and put it in the patient's hand.
- With this amulet, he must be throughout the operation.
- You need to put your whole soul into the text and fill the amulet with the deepest meaning.
- You can write this: “God protect my dear (dad, mother, child, and so on) from the diabolical intervention of dark forces. Do not let the doctor stumble during the operation and give strength to the patient to recover from the operation. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Amen!"
You cannot count on the help of the Guardian Angel if you:
- do not believe in the Lord;
- lie to everyone, even on trifles;
- envy acquaintances;
- betray comrades and loved ones;
- steal something, even if it is small;
- consider yourself the best;
- do nothing for free;
- do not like work;
- often experience negative emotions and dissatisfaction with your life.
But in what cases can you expect help from the Angel and the Lord:
- if you love life and enjoy every day;
- rush to help loved ones at a difficult moment;
- share the latest with friends;
- know how to be happy for others;
- honor and respect God;
- don't exalt yourself.
For the operation to be successful, a number of conditions must be met:
- take communion;
- forgive everyone who offended you;
- ask for forgiveness from everyone you offended;
- get rid of any negative emotions and bad thoughts;
- think that everything will be fine with you.
Prayer before the operation My angel follow me, you are ahead, I am behind you, it really helps and saves people at the most difficult moment.
People are exposed to stress every day. They always try to find a way out, and often it works out, but in difficult times, when hands drop, you have to turn to the Guardian Angel for help.
One of these complex and frightening cases can be a planned or urgent operation. At such moments, you need not only the help of relatives and friends, but also higher powers.
For a long time there have been protective prayers that will help in this situation.
When Prayer Is Needed
Often people want to stay strong in any situation, but sometimes they have to admit their own fear and vulnerability. Such a situation may be an operation.
Before surgery, even the strongest and most courageous people can lose their temper. There is nothing shameful in this. Fear is natural to humans. Admitting your phobias means getting one step closer to overcoming them.
If a person feels a strong fear, he turns to his loved ones, relatives, friends for help, but you can offer a prayer to the Lord or the Guardian Angel. With this prayer, you can:
- overcome the natural fear of surgery;
- to feel that there is hope for healing;
- believe that the Almighty can create a miracle.
Sometimes operations are so complicated that even doctors cannot give a definite answer about their success. In such situations, it is worth turning to God. The main thing is to sincerely believe in the help of the Lord, and then he will surely grant healing.
- Son of God, Jesus Christ.
- Holy Mother of God.
- Saint Panteleimon.
- Nicholas the Wonderworker.
The fastest prayer is addressed to the Guardian Angel. He is always behind a person, always ready to help in case of danger to life, transmits all human requests to heaven, so that the Lord would work a miracle. The more often and more carefully you pray to your own angel, the more likely it is that the prayer will work.
The appeal to the keeper is: "My angel, come with me, you are ahead, I am behind you." This text has great power. With its help, a person calls on an angel to protect him from adversity, protect him from troubles, go ahead and light the way. The Guardian will never refuse such a request.
How to pray
In order for the operation to be successful, you must follow a few simple rules. The main thing is not to talk or think about the bad outcome of the operation or about death. All thoughts that form in the mind are material.
It is worth asking the Lord only for a positive outcome, everything bad thoughts it is worth driving away on this day. It is not worth it on the day of the operation and a few days before it to say bad words and wish harm to anyone.
This is due to the fact that the Guardian Angel is an intermediary between God and man. If a person sins, swears, then the angel cannot convey the mortal's requests to Paradise. Then help, no matter how sincerely it was voiced, will not reach the addressee.
At least once during these 40 days you need to go to the priest. He needs to repent of his sins. With it, you can go to the icons and offer a prayer, begging for forgiveness from people who were offended intentionally or accidentally.
If friends, relatives and acquaintances also pray during this period, the likelihood that the operation will be more successful increases. Family members can support the patient by adhering to the rules of fasting with him.
Texts
Not only the patient can read this. During the operation, when the patient is unconscious, his relatives can do this. This will increase your chances of success. Relatives should also not, under any circumstances, allow bad thoughts.
If people pray who have not honored God all their lives, have done bad things, offended others, been lazy, prayer will not acquire the necessary strength. Only the one that comes from a righteous person who respects all the canons and God's laws has power.
Reading Rules
The rite is performed as follows:
- Dial in the evening clean water into a glass beaker.
- Put a glass of water on the window, let it stand there all night.
- In the morning at dawn, take the infused liquid and go out with it to the balcony, to the street, or at least open the window to see the sky to which you will turn.
- Holding the vessel under open sky, cross yourself three times, and then cross the water three times.
- Read a prayer in a whisper, ask the Angel and Jesus Christ to help you.
- Spray the corners of your house with water.
- Step outside of your home or front door.
- Pour half of the water under your feet, and pour the remaining half forward onto the road, in the direction you walk when you leave the house.
When needed

- First of all, you need to believe in the help of the Lord God and in the strength of the patient himself, that the operation will definitely go well - then it will be so.
- For greater effectiveness of prayer, you need to unite all the relatives and friends of the patient and read the prayer together. Let everyone be in their own home, but just try to read the prayer at the same time.
- It would be useful for relatives to visit the temple and pray there for a loved one. It is also necessary to light a candle for health and pass a note on the health of the sick (sick) to the church employees.
- When you come home from the church, be sure to also pray in front of the icons that you have.
- It is useful to pray just before the image of the saint to whom you are addressing. For greater power of prayer, you can immediately turn to all the Saints whose prayers are written in the article. You can purchase icons with their image in the church.
- Prayer for the patient before the operation should be read at home with the TV and radio turned off, in solitude and tranquility.
- Think carefully about each word of prayer and put your whole soul into it.
- Pray both during the operation (so that it goes well), and for the health of the surgeon. After the successful completion of the operation, thank the Lord God and the saints for helping you.
And here we remember the guardian angel, who can help convey the most important words to the Lord, give us his protection and strengthen spiritually.
The simplest prayer is my angel, come with me, you are ahead, I am behind you - I am able to help in the most difficult moment. Often it is read before the operation.
You can pray at any time of the day. But it would be obligatory to do it in the morning and in the evening before going to bed. In the middle of the day, short prayers or appeals in your own words with a specific request before starting some business. In the evening, words of thanks, you can also list everything that happened to you during the day, tell the angel where you noticed his help, where you could not understand.
If you have a trouble, have health problems or you are going to have an operation, then you definitely need to contact your guardian angel. The doctors themselves say that they can do their job, but there is still the will of God and an unexpected and stupid situation can occur that can aggravate the situation. There are many prayers for the operation. But first of all, you need to turn to your angel.
Holy Angel of God, my guardian, pray to God for me.
Holy angel of Christ, falling down to you, I pray, my holy guardian, given to me to keep my sinful soul and body from holy baptism, but with my laziness and my evil habit I angered your most pure lordship and drove you away from me with all the student’s deeds: lies, slander , envy, condemnation, contempt, disobedience, fraternal hatred, and malice, love of money, adultery, rage, avarice, gluttony without satiety and drunkenness, verbosity, evil thoughts and crafty, proud custom and fornication rage, having self-desire for all carnal lust.
Oh, my evil will, even the beasts of speechlessness do not create it! But how can you look at me, or come to me, like a stinking dog? Whose eyes, angel of Christ, look at me, entwined with evil in vile deeds? Yes, how can I ask forgiveness for my bitter and evil and crafty deed, I fall into it all day and night and at every hour?
Prayer to your angel does not exclude appeals to the healers of St. Panteleimon and Luka Krymsky, as well as to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and Mother of God. But the angel who is always with you - he deserves the first attention.
Maybe you are convinced that prayers can only be said by believers, or, as it is more correct to say, by church people. But it's not. If you have not been taught this since childhood, you yourself may feel the need to communicate with an angel and soon see the result.
And it would be good if you started to accustom your children to this already.
Prayer - turning to your Angel protects you in all life situations, and there are a great many of them, these are:
- the morning of the upcoming hard day;
- evening after trouble;
- road (near or far);
- health;
- going to the doctor or before surgery;
- troubles in the family or love sphere;
- lack of luck;
- desire for success in work;
- damage or evil eye;
- intrigues or enemies
And if you get used to communicating with your Angel, feel your Angel, you will see his deeds and care.
Just remember that if a person does a lot of bad deeds, wishes evil to other people, weaves intrigues, is lazy, does not follow God's commandments, then prayer will not be a help.
Therefore, do good deeds, read prayers, never forget that your guardian is always on your right behind your shoulder and he is always with you, goes ahead, illuminating your path and guiding you to the true path.

Prayer to Jesus Christ before the operation
Icon of Jesus Christ Self prayer before surgery
In a serious illness, a believer invariably turns to God. If surgical intervention is unavoidable, preparing for it, both the patient and his relatives read a special church prayer before a complex operation. There are no less rituals in religion than in magic, and so, prayer alone is not enough during an operation, it is necessary to confess, take communion, repent of all your sins. Forgive those who offended you. Return debts. Pray fervently and sincerely, and believe in the mercy of the Lord God.
“Into Your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, I commit my spirit to You. Bless me, God, and. have mercy, grant me life and your guardianship. Lord and Lord of my life, I hope and hope in You, I hide behind the Glory of Your Mercy like a shield. Go around the whole world, and water, and all land, there is nowhere more merciful than the Lord and King, Intercessor and Father.
The power of prayer before surgery
There are many stories in Orthodoxy when, through the prayers of loved ones, even the most complex operations ended successfully, and the patient quickly recovered.
Prayer before surgery
Master of the Almighty, Holy King, punish and not kill, affirm those who fall, and raise the overthrown, bodily people, correct sorrows, we pray to You, our God, your servant (name) is weak, visit with Your mercy, forgive him (her) any sin voluntary and involuntary. To her, Lord, send down Your healing power from Heaven to control the mind and hand of Your servant’s healer (doctor’s name) and perform the necessary surgery safely, as if the bodily ailment of Your free Servant (name) will be completely healed, and I will drive away any hostile invasion far away from him.
A case was registered when a patient with a fracture of the collarbone was contraindicated in surgical intervention, since he could not survive it. In a dream, a saint appeared to him, gave him a solution to drink from a spoon and said, "Everything will be fine." The old man then agreed to the operation and endured it perfectly. A few days later he saw an icon, on which he identified the saint who came to him. It was the Healer Panteleimon.
Turning to the saints, we ask them to pray to the Lord so that the operation will be successful and the patient will be healed.

Today I read: “We no longer consider the Internet as a channel for attracting customers.” Sailed ... And when did the Internet become a channel for attracting customers? There is such a heap of misconceptions that he sat down to write an article.
The Internet is not a channel for attracting customers
The Internet is a medium, if we consider it in a broad sense. Just like the offline environment, the Internet is a place where people are. The Internet provides an opportunity to communicate at a distance. Any person on the Internet is just a click away.
For a marketer, the Internet is like a “sea” in which you can catch “fish”. The sea itself is not a channel for obtaining fish. The sea is the habitat of fish. It's the same story with the Internet. This is a place where there are a lot of people. A certain part of these people have a need for your product. The channel for attracting customers from the Internet is a tool. Allowing you to isolate this group of people and address it directly.
What have you done to find clients online?
When I was informed that they no longer “consider the Internet as a channel for attracting customers,” I asked where this pessimism came from. What have you tried on the internet?
A familiar picture. The site was launched, the rest was saved. The result is natural: 15 random visitors per day, 0.5 applications per month. No one likes such a “customer acquisition channel”. What is their mistake? Online customer acquisition channels
The following channels operate on the Internet:
- (article site promotion)
- SEO (website promotion in search engines)
- contextual advertising(advertising in search engines)
- Targeted advertising (social media advertising)
- Retargeting (catch-up advertising after visiting a site or group on a social network)
- E-mail marketing (mailings to email)
- SMM (social media promotion)
- Advertising with bloggers
- Other
There are other channels as well, such as advertising on popular websites, listings in directories, promotion on visual social networks like YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest. And many more. It is important to understand the main thing: the Internet itself is not a channel for attracting customers. And your site itself is also not a channel for attracting customers. Just like your office in the real World.
The channel for attracting customers is not your office, but its sign in a public place. An office is a place where employees gather together. A website is a presentation of your company that affects only those who see it. The mechanism you use to show your site to people is the customer acquisition channel.
The mechanism you use to show your site to people is the customer acquisition channel.
When a company has launched a website, the next step in attracting customers from the Internet is to test different channels for attracting traffic to the site. It's an obvious thing, but I have to say it. Because in practice, I see how financial and time investments in a quality site are ruined. When, after the launch, they do not advertise the site, but simply wait for orders.
Do not be surprised that for such companies the Internet is really "not a channel for attracting customers."
