Health Press by Ute Schaedler
Health and Fitness are topics that always fascinated our long-standing YORGOO Member Ute Schaedler from Germany and, not surprisingly, she chose this theme when creating her Online Newspaper “Health Press”.
It’s been a while since I wanted to write about Ute Schaedler as a brilliant example and inspiration for anyone wanting to start an online career but hesitating because of some illusory limitation or ‘deficiency; you’ll understand in a moment what I mean.
Without going into much detail, Ute - who has a professional background as a bookkeeper… which probably explains her acribic methodology in following instructions - went through quite some difficult times in life … which isn’t that extraordinary as many of us do, however, bearing in mind that the Internet is English here comes her big handicap: she understands very little English and most definitely, she doesn’t speak it.
Working from Home on the Internet
This ‘handicap’ never kept her back from attending most of our Daily YORGOO Infocalls as well as the rather ‘heavy’ (… I know that’s an understatement as all insiders will agree to with big nods…) weekly and monthly YCADEMY Seminars and Trainings which are now exclusively held in English. We did those in French and German as well, but it’s timewise unbearable from a preparational point of view alone and the clear lesson here was that the Internet user should rather adapt to the Internet environment, one requirement being to learn English… at the end of the day there is no other way. So while Ute could always get quick answers in German when those were needed, and some good fundamental PC knowledge and skills came in extremely handy… she still had to go most of the road alone.
Clearly, you only go such extra miles if you are passionate about what you’re doing, if you are driven from inside to learn, grow and excel - and this clearly is the case with Ute Schaedler whose total focus is to run her own Business from Home and Make Money Online.
So how does she do it?
Health & Fitness
When we setup and developed our own Online Newespaper Blogs on YORGOOpress, Ute chose “Health & Fitness” as her main keywords, with “Health Press” being the title of her magazine. While she decided to work with PLR Scripts which helped her get brilliantly well over the language barrier, she only started looking at the aesthetical aspect of her new blog then… in fact, Ziborg Roy developed the web graphics for her header, banners and ads as Ute had no clue as to how that worked.
The visual world was quite foreign to her... and it took her a while to discover and start exploring her own creativity… which she was convinced she didn’t have at the time!
Health Press Images
This is when YORGOOpress Magic hit her with ‘tagaroo’ and some other helpful tools that come as free “addons” for Ycademy Seminar participants, and… suddenly… Ute Schaedler discovered her creative muscle and started exercising it… here’s a screenshot of her Health Press Homepage :

Ute Schaedler Motives
Maybe it’s the lightness of spring in Germany… but what you observe immediately is:
~ Ute’s choice of motives - flowers, butteflies and probably many more beautiful aspects of Nature to follow -;
~ how she assigns certain pictures to certain headlines… just see the stylized water lily in a calming blue ‘uplifting’ the whole feeling about a headline on a fast spreading disease: Depression; and lastly…
~ her colour choices.A picture tells a 1000 stories… and a lot about the person choosing it…!
Ute’s progress becomes even more apparent with our latest adventure: BuddyPress - a Semiomantics tuned Script for YORGOOmedia.

About Transformation
Ute keeps strictly to her main keywords - Fitness and Health - , continues her ‘red line’, and displays her favorite photographic motives - butterflies on flowers - in an even better… more balanced… way.
What do I mean?
Look at the screenshot above and you see how the way the butterflies are displayed guide the viewer’s eyes towards the ‘inside’, the posts… meaning looking from outside towards the inside of the blog.
You see it perfectly also on the bottom array of 3 pictures: along the left border, the butterfly is directed towards the inside, the middle - the same is true for the right side: it is turned towards the middle. The center motive works in any way and here a shot from the top could have been used, however, it’s fine as it is and never forget: the butterfly is a sign of transformation and that’s ultimately the goal for anyone looking at Health and Fitness issues - the sick want to become healthy, the fat want to become slim and yoga for instance is a way to higher levels of energy, fitness and wellbeing as a whole.
And last but not least… Ute Schaedler is our online Surfing Queen and as such well placed to advise in this area!
Congratulations Ute and. . . Yes! You Can!
PS:
Ute, why not create a “Butterfly Club” in YORGOO Media… you already get the Butterfly Master Photographer Laetitia Paris as a member… and me as the Fairy Story Teller and Illustrator - which obviously inspires me for a… you know what I mean? Just wait for it … HA!.
