Investment strategy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In finance, an investment strategy is a set of rules, behaviors or procedures, designed to guide an investor's selection of an investment portfolio. Usually the strategy will be designed around the investor's risk-return tradeoff: some investors will prefer to maximize expected returns by investing in risky assets, others will prefer to minimize risk, but most will select a strategy somewhere in between.
Passive strategies are often used to minimize transaction costs, and active strategies such as market timing are an attempt to maximize returns.
One of the better known investment strategies is buy and hold. Buy and hold is a long term investment strategy, based on the concept that in the long run equity markets give a good rate of return despite periods of volatility or decline. A purely passive variant of this strategy is indexing where an investor buys a small proportion of all the shares in a market index such as the S&P 500, or more likely, in a mutual fund called an index fund.
This viewpoint also holds that market timing, that one can enter the market on the lows and sell on the highs, does not work or does not work for small investors, so it is better to simply buy and hold. The smaller, retail investor more typically uses the buy and hold investment strategy in real estate investment where the holding period is typically the lifespan of their mortgage.

Start your own business
How to Start Your Own Import Export Business
The following article aims to assist would-be businessmen and beginners who intend to promote and sell their products or procure their stock in trade, capital assets, to or from the international market, respectively.
IMPORTATION:
1. Register your business and ensure that all licenses and other legal requirements have been complied with.
2. Obtain a list of suppliers dealing in the products you wish to import and select the most dependable. Do a comprehensive research on the industry. This can be done with the assistance of your bankers through their correspondents overseas.
3. Obtain a pro-forma invoice or firm offer from your selected supplier. Make sure that their quotation includes, among others, the terms of shipment such as FOB, C&F, or CIF. Payment for imports can be done in the following manner:
a.) By Letter of Credit (L/C) - Once you have agreed with your supplier on the pricing and other terms and conditions of your purchase, open a letter of credit with your bank. Depending on the agreement with your supplier, the L/C can either be sight or usance, revocable or irrevocable, confirmed or unconfirmed. Under a sight L/C, payment for the goods are made upon presentation of the documents from the supplier through your bankers (which is commonly the L/C opening bank) regardless whether or not you have received the goods imported. Under usance L/C, payment is made at a later day, after 30, 60, 90 or 120 days. A revocable L/C is one which you can revoke even without the consent of your supplier. A confirmed L/C is one by which the L/C advising bank, by virtue of their confirmation of the L/C, is liable to pay your supplier the value of the imported goods should the L/C opening bank be unable to pay your supplier for some reason.
b.) By Open Account (O/A) - Payment is made at a later date depending on your agreement with the supplier.
c.) By Documents Against Payment (D/P) - Under this mode of payment, you have to effect the payment of the imported goods upon presentation of the import documents by the bank.
d.) By Documents Against Acceptance (D/A) - Under this mode, the documents are forwarded to you through an appointed bank in your locality and upon your acceptance, (i.e. signing the relative document signifying your acceptance of the liability) the bank then surrenders the documents to you, and payment will be made later, after 15, 30, 45 or 60 days depending on your agreement with the supplier.
e.) By Prepayment - Advance payment must be made before supplier ships the goods
Note that the basic import documents consist mainly, but are not limited to, original Bills of Lading (B/L) or Airway Bill; original Commercial Invoice; original Packing List; or any such other original documents which you may require. These documents are necessary so the importer can secure the release of the imported goods from the shipping/airline companies and customs authorities.
EXPORTATION:
1. Register your business ensuring that all requirements have been complied with.
2. Choose the products that you are going to export and ascertain from the difference governmental agencies that these are not banned items. Where necessary, obtain a list of all the documents that are required especially for regulated products. If you produce or manufacture your own products for export, know your production capacity. If you subcontract the production of your goods, know the production capacity of all your subcontractors.
3. Open an account with a bank with international connections or one with correspondents in the locality of your customers.
4. Where necessary, obtain a background check of all your would-be customers through the aid of your bankers.
5. From new buyers, always insist on prepayment before you ship your goods.
6. If you agree on payment by Letter of Credit (L/C), ensure that the L/C is irrevocable and at sight.
7. Try to understand the different modes of payment for international trade, as discussed above, under Importation.
This is a simple step-by-step guide on import and export procedures. While requirements may vary from country to country, the general and basic procedures are essentially the same.

$700 billion bailout for Wall Street
Now that bailout bill has been released and has over 100 pages and it is on the website of the House Financial Services Committee speaker.gov or financial services.
What remains is the bailout plan to be voted visit house.gov
From ThomasNet Exactly How Much is $700 Billion?
By David R. Butcher
Here we break down the proposed $700 billion bailout of Wall Street and put that value into context with Bill Gates, Tata Nanos, Florida's GDP and Fun Dip. Also in today's Light Friday: Brilliant But Lazy Ideas, a 20,000-Year-Old Pothole, a Swiss Jetman Crosses the English Channel and MORE.
Bailout Numbers in Context
Lawmakers this week closed in on a massive $700 billion rescue deal for the nation's troubled financial sector even as many politicos and talking heads greeted the proposal with anger, skepticism, alternative proposals and, ultimately, continued talks/finger-pointing to get this thing hashed out.
Now, $700 billion is, put simply, a lot of money, which has led to lots of questions from lawmakers and taxpayers alike: How long will $700 billion last? How will the federal government know what price to pay for the mortgages it buys? Will all of the federal wheeling and dealing come with transparency and oversight? How will the average Joe be affected? Do the Wall Street executives get to keep their bonuses?
Because this is Light Friday, our question follows Slate's: How much is $700 billion?
* Enough to buy 5,000 packs of Fun Dip (the three-flavor/two-stick packs) for every American man, woman and child, a colleague suggests;
* About 14 Warren Buffets;
* If a dollar bill is 0.1 centimeters in height, 700 billion dollar bills stacked one on top of the other would form a pile 52,000 miles high;
* Not quite half the assembled net worth of the Forbes 400;
* Enough to buy every U.S. citizen old enough to drive (all 225,633,342 of 'em) one new Tata Nano car, and maybe some gas in each tank;
* Approximately 70 Large Hadron Colliders (LHC);
* More than the $530 billion in total world textile and clothing trade;
* Like, 12 times what the U.S. spends on education every year;
* Siphoning off Florida's gross domestic product would cover it, Slate notes;
* Roughly $100 billion more than we've spent so far on the Iraq war.
Malaria affects half of the world's population — 3.3 billion people in 109 countries — and causes nearly one million deaths per year. According to projections by the ambitious new Global Malaria Action Plan (GMAP), more than 4.2 million lives can be saved between 2008 and 2015 if its plan is put into action, and the foundation can be laid for a longer-term effort to eradicate the disease.
Fully implementing the GMAP will require $5.3 billion in 2009 and $6.2 billion in 2010 to expand malaria control programs; $5.1 billion annually from 2011-2020; $3.3 billion annually from 2021-2030; and $1.5 billion annually from 2031-2040.
Achieving full control of malaria in all endemic countries, reducing the number of malaria deaths to near zero by 2040 and still have $589.5 billion from $700 billion? There better not be a golden parachute in sight.

Famous people who talked on bail out includes Warren Buffet the worlds richest man who urged the congress to Bail out economy or face 'meltdown'.

Business Plans: Home cleaning business
Home Cleaning Business Plan
by: John O'Callaghan
Copyright 2005 John O'Callaghan
Until about 10 years ago, business advice guru’s used to say that the best business to be in was the one you knew most about!
That statement is disputable. And, even if it were true then, it certainly is not true today! Here’s why:
No matter what skills you have or what trade or profession you are in, the amount of money you can earn is severely limited by the number of hours in the day you can work. Aha!
So now we can say:
A better business is one in which you can recruit and train others to do what you can do. This leaves you free to manage and grow the business,
Even so, we still can’t say that it is best business to be in. We can’t say it because some trades and professions have much higher billable hourly rates than others.
Copywriting, and especially direct-response copywriting, is undoubtedly one of the highest paid professions in the world!
Copywriters tend to be pretty smart. A copywriter and an attorney are discussing fees:
Lawyer: “My fees start at $150 an hour.”
Copywriter: “I charge from $1 a word.”
Lawyer: “Wow! I can't think of any word worth a $1.Gimme an example?”
Copywriter: “Gimme a $1.”
Lawyer: “Okay. Here's your $1.”
Copywriter: “THANKS!”
So, is copywriting the world’s best business to be in?
I say NO!
I say Info-Marketing on the Internet is undoubtedly the world’s best business to be in!
It doesn’t necessarily have to be an e-book that reveals copywriting
secrets and a list of words that sell. Although that would sell well to a
business-2-business market. But it does have to be an info-product that’s designed to satisfy the needs and wants of a specific niche market.
Simple, huh?
Well, not exactly. If it were that simple, everybody with a how-to info-book and a direct-response website would be rich.
As I see it, only about 5% of Internet sites make millions. The remaining bunch of hopefuls is still struggling.
Jeff Walker, Product Launch a leading Internet marketing expert, says:
“Everyone has heard the story of the Internet being paved with gold... but only a precious few are bringing home that gold. There are thousands of websites that won't even break even. Most of those sites are moribund... sitting there with products that don't sell. They will wither away, and then get blown off the Internet like some dried-up piece of tumbleweed.”
Internet marketing expert, Cody Maya, Private Label Books, says,
“The average cost of a copywriting project is $5,000--and that’s just for one sales letter. You need three things to succeed on the Internet:
#1. You need a great product.
#2. You need to be able to get traffic to your site.
#3. You need to be able to convert those prospects into customers.”
Internet marketing is great. It is not cheap. It is not easy and the learning curve for the average Joe Schmoe is mind-boggling.
It takes a high degree of sophistication, and a lot of money to buy the kind of tools that will enable you to put your business on Auto-Pilot, “while you lie on the beach in Hawaii with your laptop and make a ton of money even while you sleep.”
Yanik Silver, one of the top guns in Internet Marketing told me he spent nearly $50,000 (a ton of money) on new products and doing research last year!
So, I need to qualify what I said earlier about selling an info-product on the Internet. Here’s my revised statement:
“Selling an info-product on the Internet to a well-defined niche market is the world’s best business to be in--for those who know what they are doing and have the money to do it.”
So, you can’t just fly into flying.
You think big but you start small!
You have to learn to walk before you can learn to run!
Some 30 years ago, self-made multi-millionaire Joe Karbo stated a very simple truth:
“Most people are too busy working to make
a living to ever make more than just a living.”
In his book, “How to Be Rich,” the late billionaire J. Paul Getty said that the only way to get rich is to start your own business and work at making yourself rich, rather than your employer!
For over 20 years I have been searching to find an “idiot proof” business that could be launched by the average Jack or Jill--and with no previous business experience and little or no capital to invest.
I managed to identify seven businesses that fit that bill.
Here’s my list--not necessarily in order of merit or profitability:
1. Home and Office Cleaning
2. Handy Person Service
3. Window Washing Service
4. Publishing a Local Ad Magazine
5. Computer Instruction and Repairs
6. Painting and Decorating
7. Leaflet Distribution
8. Mobile Haircutting and Beauty Service
9. Lawn Cutting and Yard Maintenance
10. Taking Care of Snowbird Vacation Homes
I have written a how-to business instruction plan for each of the above.
Here’s what I have to say about the Home and Office Cleaning Biz:
You could be your own boss--starting today!
"10 Powerful Reasons Why Home and Office Cleaning
is One of the World's Best Businesses to Be In”
1. Low start-up cost.
2. You can work part-time or full time.
Keep your day job if you have one. Work evenings and weekends. Don’t quit your day job until you are sure you can make more working for yourself than your employer.
3. No Hard Selling Involved
The service virtually sells itself because 98% of housewives hate housework so much they jump at the chance of having a “maid” come in to the do all the dirty work.
4. Unlimited Demand For the Service
Today, as more and more women go out to work, they have less and less time to do housework and look after a husband and a family. If they can afford it, they jump at the chance of hiring a trustworthy and reliable home cleaner.
5. High Hourly Rates
The standard minimum age is a miserly $5.15 an hour. The average hourly rate for cleaners is $25 an hour. That’s more than four times the minimum wage. Average means that some cleaners charge a low of $20 an hour and others charge a high of $30 an hour.
6. No Special Skills or Training Required
Either you know what to do or the house owner tells you what she wants done.
7. The Target Market is Local and Very Easy to Contact
8. Hot Prospects are Easy to Identify
People who can afford to hire a cleaning maid live busy lives. They own large homes with two or more garages. They reside in up-market suburban areas.
9. Very Simple and Inexpensive Marketing Plan
The three best ways to get new customers as regulars are:
One: Referrals from existing customers.
Two: Leaflet Distribution.
Three: Using a tested and proven telephone script designed not to sell the service, but to make an appointment to call and give a free estimate. Done right, the level of acceptance is a high 86%.
10. Unlimited Growth Potential
While you can make $1,000 a week doing two, four-hour jobs a day for
five days a week, the way to make really big money is not to do any of
the work yourself!
The trick is to hire others to do all the cleaning work.
This leaves you free to concentrate on managing and growing the business.
As the Holly Noble, owner of a San Diego based cleaning business, says,
“You can’t be soliciting new customers when you are cleaning a toilet.”
John‘s “Home Cleaning Business Plan” is a fact-packed, step-by-step,
do-it-by-the-numbers guide that tells you all you need to know about starting up and succeeding in a home-based business of your own.
While it includes a lot of his own advice on how to promote and manage
the business, the real value of the Plan is that it contains in-depth interviews with nine successful cleaning business owners who revealed their most closely guarded trade secrets.

Wealthy Yet?
Are You Wealthy Yet?
by: Al Walker
Here's a real simple way to become wealthy.
Marty and his wife live at home with their 2 children. They own
a 3 bedroom house in a middle class neighborhood and try to live
within their means. Marty works full time in the Printing
Industry, while his wife is in charge of the home and looking
after the children.
They've accumulated some credit card debt and have 2 years left
on a car loan. They try to stay out of debt as much as possible
and together they've managed to contribute a total of $32,000 to
their own Retirement Fund. It is kept in term deposits receiving
5% interest annually.
Two years prior, the couple bought an older house that they
fixed-up and rent out for $850 a month. After paying the
mortgage and taxes $300 is left over each month. This goes into
their savings account each month.
At Christmas, the family bought themselves a new computer and
decided to start a home-based business. Things started out
fairly slowly but after 8 months they were receiving a steady
check of $400 a month which also goes into their savings
account. This part-time business will continue to grow with the
effort they dedicate to it.
This business also offers them some very lucrative tax savings.
By taking advantage of these Tax Strategies they are able to
save an additional $300 a month on tax that was normally
deducted from Marty's paycheck at work. This monthly income is
also added to the couple's savings.
Marty has just begun writing an E-book about his "production
expertise" at work. His plan is to market this book on the
internet for profit
Every Sunday the couple takes a drive to stay familiar with the
Real Estate market in their area. They're looking for another
property, a "handyman's special" to fix-up and rent out. They
have saved enough for a down payment and their credit with the
bank is well established.
The family's total monthly expenses are $2000. Now, here's the
question:
Does Marty's family have Wealth yet?
To answer this question properly you first have to understand
exactly what "wealth" means.You achieve wealth when: *Your
Passive Income is the same or greater than your Expenses.* So
what does this mean?
First, what is Passive Income?
Passive Income is money that you are paid over and over again
for work that you only do once. (This excludes using a gun or
finding cash on the street) Some examples of this would be
royalties for writing a book or a song, commissions that you
receive for sales that others make and interest from bank
savings or dividends on stocks/options that you own.
Second, what Expenses are we talking about? This one's a little
easier to understand. Expenses are the total amount it takes to
run your household and your life. This includes, rent, mortgage
payments, car insurance, food, credit card and loan payments,
etc………
Let's look at Marty's family a little closer…………. Does Marty
have any Passive Income? Yes he does. Marty's salary is not
considered Passive Income. That's because he has to work 40
hours a week just to get the basic amount. If Marty doesn't go
to work then he doesn't get paid. His overtime also doesn't
count as Passive Income.
The interest from their Retirement Fund does though. It's paid
to him month after month as long as it's left in that account.
So, $32,000 at 5% is $1600 a year. Divided by 12 months equals
$133 a month in interest. Ok…..what else?
After the mortgage and expenses are paid with the rent money
they receive on their rental property they are left with $300
every month. This is Passive Income. Just as long as the tenant
stays and pays his monthly rent.
How bout that $400 from the home-based business and the Tax
savings. Is this Passive Income? Well, Marty's wife made sure
that she chose a company where she could sign new business
accounts and get paid commissions on those accounts over and
over again. They've made a 5 year commitment to build this
business part-time. So yes, both the $400 and the $300 in Tax
Savings would apply as Passive Income. Let's add up Marty's
total Passive Income.
Interest $166.00 Rental Income $300.00 Home Based
Business$400.00 Tax Savings $300.00 Total $1166.00
Not including Marty's salary from work, his family's Passive
Income is $1166.00. Not bad. Every month this amount flows into
the family's bank account, regardless of anything else they do.
We said that Marty's monthly expenses total $2000.00 a month.
And we also said………… You have Wealth when: *Your Passive Income
is the same or greater than your Expenses.*
$2000 Expenses subtract $1166 Passive Income = $834 monthly
balance needed to have Wealth.
Marty's Expenses are still more than their Passive Income so
they're not wealthy just yet. But they're well over half-way
there. With this kind of knowledge a family can know exactly
where to focus their financial attention.
Maybe when Marty writes that ebook he could get some sales and
royalties from it. Also the new Real Estate and more work on
their Home-based business would certainly help them to attain
more Passive Income. Once Marty's Passive Income is more than
the family's Expenses then Marty could start to have much more
freedom. He may even choose to quit his job and continue
developing his Passive Income streams.
Take a look at your own finances. What are your monthly
expenses? Do you have more Passive Income than your Expenses? If
you do Congratulations. You're Wealthy!!! If you don't. It's
time to get started and start adding Passive Income from other
areas as soon as possible.
When you truly understand this principle, you'll be well on your
way to becoming wealthy

Make Quick Simple Profits online
How to Make Quick Simple Profits Online
by Michael Cheney
Many webmasters start out on the Internet wanting to make profits quickly. Unlike other businesses, it’s very possible using website marketing techniques to actually generate profit from a standing start very, very quickly.
The Internet has lowered the barriers to entry for people wanting to set up their own work-from-home businesses. So what I want to go through are some ways you can actually generate profit very quickly from your website.
One of the best ways to do this is to set up a Google AdWords account. Google AdWords is a simple advertising system that enables you to place ads on the Google search engine very quickly and reach your target audience.
You simply choose phrases from a list that you think are relevant to your product and that people will be typing into the search engines.
You then create a simple ad using a headline and some description text, along with a linking URL, so that people can actually click on the link. Once you’ve been approved and you’ve placed some money into your AdWords account, the ads will be made active and you’ll start seeing your ad appear on the right-hand side of the Google search results.
As long as you use the conversion counter that Google provides you with, you can actually track not only how many people have clicked on the ad, but also how many have converted into a sale or a lead from your website. This is an essential strategy if you’re actually going to generate profit from your website. You can even use this technique to generate profit without even owning a website.
Many online entrepreneurs are doing this using what is called the Google Cash method. All you need to do is sign up to various affiliate programs that are promoting different products and then create ads on AdWords directing people to these products using your affiliate nickname. When people then click on the ads they are taken to the product website along with your affiliate nickname. This means you get credited for any sales.
As long as you track the conversion of the clicks into sales, test your ads effectively and continue to make improvements to them, this is an excellent way to generate profit.
Another way to get people coming through to your site, or to others’, is to develop many, many reciprocal links. This is often an overlooked way to get top search engine rankings and placements for your site. It can bring you massive amounts of new traffic.
To do this, you need to first create the links on your site to other relevant websites. Make sure that you are linking to non-competing sites. You don’t want to be sending your traffic to websites that are also in competition for the same audience that you are.
Once you’ve established these links on your site, you then need to contact each website owner and ask them to place a reciprocal link on their site. If they do this you’ve established a reciprocal link. If they do not want to link back to you, you should remove them from your site and then continue to find more links.
Link building is one of the best ways to get more traffic and to climb the search engine rankings.
Good luck with your online marketing efforts.

How Coaches Use Podcasts and Save Money on Marketing Budget
Online communications are changing. Consumers are now actively demanding more involvements through social media like blogs, podcasts and online videos. No longer are they satisfied by being passive readers. They also have opinions. These opinions count so much they can hijack an established brand.
In this article, we will talk about one of these media called podcast. Podcasting has become so popular in a short period of time it was the Word of the Year for 2005 and officially included in New Oxford American Dictionary.
Coaches can no longer ignore such trends. This marketing channel is not just for big companies with huge marketing budget. Anyone can effort it. Clients are now talking about you and their experience with your service whether you want to participate or not, and whether you like it or not.
What can you use this rich media channel for?
1. Using podcast as a lead generation tool
If your lead generation strategy involves any online activity, now is the time to look beyond search engine optimization, email marketing, or press release. Many people are buying based on recommendations of friends and colleagues in social media and networking sites.
Podcasts play a huge part in them. A free podcast that offers valuable content, and with the right promotion, will attract a lot of loyal listeners. If all of those who listen and subscribe to your podcast are highly interested in your content, how valuable this could be? After all, they are listening to you instead of tons of other choices out there, it should mean something.
2. Save time on lead nurturing
Imagine being able to "talk" directly to the profile above repeatedly. Instead of offering articles, white papers, email newsletter and other static content, you begin to mix them with audio content such as short seminars or coaching sessions.
Best of all, podcast allows you to keep in touch with your audience just like email, with additional benefits. It is also spam free, and the process of downloading and syncing to the listeners' portable media players can be done automatically.
3. Increase revenue through product sales
Unlike what many people think, promoting products through a podcast will not turn listeners off. The last thing your audience want from you is boring content. They don't object product promotion as long as it augments the value of the podcast.
If podcasters have successfully used this medium to earn hefty advertising revenue, why can't it work for your own product?
4. Establish a name and thought leadership
Being able to reach your prospective clients again and again builds brand value. Big companies pay millions to be able to advertise on national radios and televisions. You can do the same by leveraging what you know and share them with the world. Nothing beats the Internet when it comes to reaching international audience.
Podcasting is your tool to reach people globally, on a shoestring.
5. Demonstrate expertise
Coaches who podcast share interesting tidbits about their industry. They often give insights into the topic itself. Just like writing for magazines, trade journals and other publications establish yourself as an expert in your niche, podcasting allows you to do so more lively.
One of the greatest concerns for coaches who want to jump on the bandwagon is they don't have time to produce content. This is not something to worry about. Chances are, coaches have tons of content already produced. And the good news is, they can use the same content and re-purpose them into new media format.
Start looking into it before your competitors do!

Not all garages have been cleared of junk. Weekend garage sales are still popular places to find items to sell. Sales in higher income areas tend to net more quality items like designer clothes, high end furniture, and antiques. However, don't neglect an average Joe garage sale; one never knows what unique items will be unearthed regardless of the neighborhood. Go to these sales toward the end of the day. Homeowners will be more inclined to sell you merchandise at rock bottom prices rather than having to pack up unsold items.
Look through your own garage and closets to find items to sell online. You may be harboring old clothes, books, Cds, and toys that will bring in a few bucks online. Offer to rid your friends and family of their unwanted junk by selling on consignment. You sell their stuff and keep %25 of the profits. Local retailers may also agree to let you sell their overstocks and returned merchandise on consignment as well.
Buy Online, Sell Online
Finding stuff to sell online is as easy as buying it from the same online source. eBay is an excellent place to find everything from antiques to huge lots of merchandise that you can buy and resell at a profit.
Locate other online sources by using search terms such as wholesale liquidators, closeout dealers, and drop-ship services. These same sources can also be found in print media including the Yellow Pages and classified ads in newspapers, trade magazines, and free weeklies.
Auction Action
Unclaimed, slightly damaged, and repossessed merchandise can be purchased at freight claims and government auctions. Check the Yellow Pages for contact information and newspaper classified section for upcoming sales.
There's a storage unit operation on every corner these days. The storage company auctions off the contents of unpaid rental units. Although the contents are sold sight unseen, there's probably enough sale worthy items inside to let you break even.
Estate auctions are another great source for finding stuff to sell online. Like garage sales, high income estates yield the greatest finds, but gems can be found regardless of the estate's net worth. These sales are advertised in the newspaper.
Drop Shipping
Drop shipping is an easy, hands off way to sell online. You send the order to the manufacturer or distributor and they ship the product to the customer. No inventory or shipping hassles to worry about.
Local Events
Bazaars, flea markets, and festivals are good sources for everything from unique handmade crafts to valuable collectibles. Like garage sales, stop by near closing time for deep discounted deals.
Check with the local convention and visitors' bureau to find out about upcoming trade shows that are open to the public. You'll be able to buy from manufacturers and sale reps selling the latest products on the market.
Offshore Action
Asia is a good source for finding stuff to sell online. However, the red tape and cost of contacting sources there can be a hassle. Your best bet is to hook up with a manufacturer's rep who has overseas connections. There's enough available home grown sources for locating products to sell to make this option unnecessary.

Alternatives to personal loans
Acquiring a personal loan is intended for financing and managing a person's financial needs. For taking finance, a person may apply for a loan or a credit card to purchase shares or any asset like home, vehicle etc.
But, before deciding about the financial goals, a person must assess his or her financial situation. While using credit card or personal loan in financing, proper plan for management of debt burden is imperative.
Correct information should be given in the credit report because the chances are high that incorrect information and mistakes on credit report have an adverse effect on the personal loan. The most common errors that occur in the credit report are outdated information, which can stay on the report for seven years, and inaccurate marking like erroneous late payment, repossession and bankruptcy.
Prior to applying for a loan with a financial company, it must be ensured that best rates and terms are selected especially for first time borrowers. First time borrowers must initially determine how much to borrow and for how long to take for repayment. Lenders usually impose higher interest rates for loans on small amounts and so it makes better sense to apply for higher amounts of loans and use the surplus cash to invest with higher rate of interest. If that is frightening, it is advisable to write a budget of all the expenses including monthly bills and daily living costs. Then the expenses should be subtracted from the net income and 75 percent of the left over amount can be set apart for the monthly loan payment keeping the rest 25 percent as a buffer for other expenses.
The amount to be borrowed can be determined on the basis of the purpose for which the personal loan is taken. The length of the time taken for repayment of the money borrowed is the term of the loan. The longer the loan term, the lesser the monthly payments and more the interest rates.
In fact, there are viable alternatives to personal financing that can save money. For example homeowners can explore mortgage products and refinancing also will help to some extent. For a relatively lower amount, applying for a credit card can come in handy for people with poor credit if the intention is to pay off the debt in a short span of time. Borrowing against 401k is a wise decision. It is also equally important to get a copy of the 3- in 1 credit report which provides a complete analysis of profiles as reported by three major credit reporting agencies. If the application for personal loan has been rejected, it is advisable to wait for one or two months before applying again because if applied in more than one source, multiple inquires will adversely affect the credit score.
Apart from all these hassles, to avoid dealing with emergency purposes-most of the personal loans are for this purpose -it is good if a small "emergency fund" is developed by entailing a few dollars away every month as savings.

ATM Security
by: Robert Young
ATM cash machines have been incorporated in our way of life. They offer a real convenience to those on the run but at the same time offer an element of risk. Using an ATM machine safely requires awareness and a little planning. Just because an ATM machine is open and available 24-hours a day doesn't mean it is safe to use it. Most ATM robberies occur at night between 8:00 PM and midnight. ATM robbers are usually males under 25 years of age and most work alone. ATM robbers usually position themselves nearby waiting for a victim to approach and withdraw cash. Most ATM robbery victims are women and were alone when robbed. Most claim that they neversaw the robber coming. Most ATM robbers used a gun or claimed to have a concealed weapon when confronting the victim and demanding their cash.
If you or your family members use ATM cash machines on a regular basis, here are some tips that can make the process a little safer:
- Use only ATM machines in well-lighted, high traffic areas. Don't use ATM machines that are remote or hidden, such as being located behind buildings, behind pillars, walls, or away from public view. Beware of obvious hiding places like shrubbery or overgrown trees. ATM robbers like to have the element of surprise and no witnesses. Robbers like good escape routes like nearby freeway on-ramps or high-speed thoroughfares.
- Choose an ATM that looks and 'feels' safer, even if it is a couple of miles out of the way. Try and limit your use to daylight hours. Take someone with you after hours, if you can. When you drive up to an ATM location, scan the area for any suspicious persons. If you see anyone suspicious standing nearby or sitting in a car, drive away. When you approach and ATM on foot, be prepared and have your access card ready. Memorize your personal PIN number to prevent loss and speed the transaction. After inserting your card and your PIN number, keep an eye out behind you. Never accept an offer to help or request for help from a suspicious male ahead of you at the machine. If anyone suspicious or seemingly dangerous approaches, terminate your transaction and leave immediately, evin if it means running away and leaving your ATM card in the machine. First, tell the suspicious male in a loud, firm voice to "back-off" and leave you alone. This is designed to startle the per! son and give you time to flee, if appropriate. When you receive cash from the machine, put it away immediately, extract your card, and walk away.
- If you use your car at a drive-thru ATM machine, the same rules apply. Keep the car in gear, with your foot firmly on the brake, while using the ATM machine. Keep a close eye on your rear and side view mirrors during the transaction. Robbers almost always approach from the rear on the driver's side. If you see anyone approaching, drive off even if it means leaving your ATM card behind. If an armed robber confronts you, just give up your money without argument. The cash is not worth serious injury or death. Get to a safe place and call the police immediately.
- If lights are around the ATM are not working, don't use that machine.
- Avoid ATM machines adjacent to obvious hiding places.
- Have your card ready and leave quickly, not counting your cash in public.
- Beware of offers for help from strangers during an ATM transaction.
- Don't fight with or attempt to follow the robber.
- Drive or walk to a safe place and immediately call the police.

The Easiest Way To Make Money Online
6 Reasons Why An Ebay Business Is The Easiest Way To Make Money Online
This article is about why an ebay business may be the best option for you to start earning money online. Many people want to start an online business, yet most of them never get it done. While the idea of working from home is nice, there are quite a few obstacles, especially if you're totally new to the business.
To build your own online business from scratch you'd have to learn about web site creation, programming, marketing, product creation and many other skills necessary to maintain an online business. For many online businesses you'd have to consider significant investments in software and online services. Before you know it, a few months have passed, and you haven't earned a penny!
Not so with an ebay business. An ebay business is easy to start and offers a few advantages:
1. You can start selling on ebay even if you don't have your own web site.
2. You don't have to buy expensive tools or equip an office. Your only cost is your ebay fee, which is tiny and can be paid as you go.
3. You don't need to buy products to sell or keep an inventory. You can sell something you already have and don't need any more. Ebay can earn you a nice additional income from stuff you no longer use.
4. You don't need complicated skills like programming and web site creation. Ebay provides everything you need to get your first offer online within minutes.
5. Your new ebay business instantly starts with a huge customer base. Millions of people search the ebay marketplace each day - and they intend to buy!
6. You start receiving money within a few days. Once your first ebay auction is over the buyer will send funds to your paypal or 2Checkout account.
I'm self employed since 1987 and from all the business opportunities I've seen, ebay is the one that is the easiest to start. At first it will not make you a fortune, but it will bring in a few smaller sales. But you can earn money from your very first week onward, and as you go along you will learn how improve it.
Then you can choose to either join the league of professional ebay businesses or to branch out into other online business ideas.
So if you thought about making money online but have not yet managed to do so, just head over to ebay and observe how it works.

Finding Your Work from Home Niche
Finding Your Work from Home Niche by Rosalva Weekes
Finding Your Work from Home Niche Copyright © Rosalva Weekes http://www.WeekesRosalva.com
By show of hands, who wants to go to work day in, day out for an unappreciative boss, be stuck in traffic about two hours per day, and miss many of your children’s milestones? Nobody! There is hardly anyone currently employed who does not daydream of working from home, being their own boss, forgetting about the commute, and being available to family and friends whenever possible. For quite a few, this dream translates into a reality when they start their own home business, but some have a hard time getting started; in particular, they have a tough time deciding just what to do for a work from home business.
While finding your work from home niche is not necessarily hard, it is also not as simple as it may sound. To help you along in this process, here are some things to consider when getting ready to earnestly find something to do as a home business:
What are you capable of doing that perhaps someone else does not wish to do or is not able to do? For example, changing your car’s oil and rotating its tires are things that take a special ability, but even those who have it do not always want to do it and therefore will gladly pay someone else to take these messy tasks off their hands. Maybe you have a knack for getting that television hooked up or a computer repaired after a virus attack? Are you great with kids and have them eating out of your hand at your church’s daycare? Do you have a keen eye for bargains and can ferret out deals and steals when even the hardiest shoppers are unable to save anything? All these skills take a knack that you can turn into a home business.
If a special skill does not come to mind readily, why not capitalize on a special talent you may have? Are you a fine artist and can paint portraits of dogs that are so lifelike that friends and family are always asking you for another likeness of Fluffy or Rover? Are you a great cook? Does your garden look like an oasis in a sea of gardens with dried grass and wilting flowers? Can you explain even the most complex algebraic equations to your children in such a way that they actually understand them? Perhaps you play and instrument and would not mind teaching others to do so as well. If so, you have a talent that is quite marketable!
Last but not least, if you have neither special skill nor confirmed talent, you do not need to give up! The odds are good that you will be able to base a business on doing those things everyone knows how to do but in some cases simply does not wish to deal with. For example, if you know how to put a party together, you could be a party planner specializing in children’s birthdays. Conversely, if you do not mind climbing on ladders, then window washer could be your stick. Own gardening equipment? Why not use it to cut other people’s lawns and hedges and become a gardener?

Secret of finding real wealth
What Is “The Secret” To Finding Real Wealth?
by: John J. Lynch
Did you know that less than one percent of the people currently living on this planet account for almost twenty-five percent of ALL the wealth? These powerful people certainly don’t want you to know this...they want you to stay as mindless drones whose sole objective is to keep THEM wealthy. What is the secret this small fraction of the population knows that the rest do not?
If you haven't seen the movie "The Secret", I implore you to watch it! The Secret is the most powerful law in the universe! If you have already seen it, watch it again. To watch "The Secret" online, copy and paste this url into your browser; http://www.thesecret.tv/home.html
Or you can watch "The Secret" On Demand via cable and satellite for audiences in the United States and Canada.
This small minority of people who are currently pulling the strings on world politics and world economics have mastered The Secret. These are the same people who want The Secret banned like it was once banned hundreds of years ago. Now The Secret has been un-earthed for all to discover its tremendous power once again!
There also have been great leaders who have mastered The Secret and made positive contributions to all of humanity. Leaders like Albert Einstein, Abe Lincoln, and Mother Teresa to name a few.
We are now living in an exciting new age of technology where humanity can do incredible things. The brick and mortar corporations who once ruled our economy unequivocally over the little guy are slowly losing their death grip due to the astonishing power of the internet!
So what is this secret you ask? In a sentence; "The Secret Is The Law Of Attraction". Simply stated, you get what you wish for...or your thoughts dictate what you get in life. Your health is dictated by your thoughts as well as your wealth.
Think of your thoughts as little tiny magnets...the intensity of these tiny magnets or thoughts are in direct proportion to the emotions you attach to it. The stronger the magnet, the stronger the attraction. This explains why a lot of people don't get what they wish for. They have not attached a strong enough emotion to their dream. Or they feel they don’t deserve their dream so they don’t bother pursuing it.
Let me give you an example of how the law of attraction works in a negative way. Think of the days when you got started off the wrong foot, then said to yourself "this is gonna be a long and terrible day". What happened? A long and terrible day...you got what you wished for! The degree of how terrible your day turned out was proportional to the intensity of the negative emotion you attached to the thought, right?
So how do these little "magnets" or thoughts attract what we want or don't want in our lives you ask? Well, and this is based on quantum physics that scientists have just learned in the last 10 or 15 years. There is an invisible universal mind if you will that contains all the dreams and thoughts of everyone who has ever lived or will live...past...present...future. This is quite the paradox you may think, how can this be?
The "time" element in this universal mind has been negated or altered. Quantum physics has recently shown us that a single electron can occupy two different spaces in an electro-magnetic field at the same exact point in time, once thought impossible. This goes against the laws of physics unless time has been negated or altered some how, the only possible explanation. So you may be able to connect with the dreams of someone who hasn't been born yet. Are you getting excited yet?
The Universal Mind is a sort of collective consciousness. The place where dreams are born. These dreams are invisible and waiting to take physical form.
How do you convert your dreams from the universal mind to the physical realm? By constantly thinking about your dreams with strong emotions and just as importantly - taking action! I am NOT talking about wishful thinking here...you must take action on your dreams!
It helps to have pictures of your dreams and look at them every day. Write your dreams down. Formulate a plan that is specific and with deadlines that will bring your dreams to fruition...and stay the course! “Don’t die with your dreams still inside you” as Dr. Wayne Dyer likes to say.
That is why I firmly believe you should pursue ventures you have a passion for...then you will find it easier to attach strong positive emotions to your thoughts and dreams.
This is the most powerful law in the universe, use it wisely my liege...
Good Luck and Stay the Course!

That is why I firmly believe you should pursue ventures you have a passion for...then you will find it easier to attach strong positive emotions to your thoughts and dreams.
This is the most powerful law in the universe, use it wisely my liege...
Good Luck and Stay the Course!

Heading Tag Optimization
An important on-page optimization factor is Heading Tag. Search engine considers it mostly when indexing a Web page. Header tag is important for visitors also, since heading tag tells both search engine and visitors what the content is all about.
Heading tags are represented as h1 to h6. h1 is considered the most important tag by search engine and h6, the smallest and the least important.
It is important to add specific keywords related to your site theme in heading tags and it is better to use keywords that are used in title and Meta tags. Keyword rich heading tags is preferred by major search engines but over stuffing of keywords can again put you in trouble.
Tips to optimize Heading Tag
A web page is designed to represent different aspects, so at least 2-4 heading tags such as h1, h2, h3, h4 on each page of your website.
- Header tag must contain specific keywords related to your business in addition to some additional text that better describes your Web contents.
- Add highly relevant keywords in h1 tag, as it is weighted most than other heading tags.
- Analyze the relevancy of your keywords and place most important keyword in h1 tag, less important to h2, further less important to h3 and ultimately least important keywords to h6.
