Take Paid Surveys Now - We need Your Opinion

By Hailey Gates

Work at home moms across the country have discovered they can get paid taking surveys! This has got to be the easiest, most flexible job in the world - and you don't have to have any special training. Just be willing to answer questions about your shopping habits, and you can make money every day!

Who does most of the shopping in this world? Moms like you. You have to handle the day in, day out, seemingly mundane selection of the products that keep your homes running smoothly. You probably have your own list of favorites - the ones you feel are the best value for the money, and offer the best results.

Big brand name companies spend millions of dollars every year finding out which products people purchase, and where, and why. They need information from moms in every city and state so they can plan ad campaigns and find out what the consumers need. These companies will give you surveys to take, and pay you CASH for completing them!

How do you get started? It's easy! Just sign up with one or more survey sites on line, and you can start getting paid taking surveys within a week or even a few days. It's easy, it's free and it's legit. No special tools or skills required! All you need is internet access and a new email address.

The short list of things you will need to prepare before you go looking for sites to register on include a new email address (to keep your survey emails organized) a username to login to sites with, and a random, easily memorized password for security purposes. Don't use a password you use for your personal matters.

After you go through the registration process, watch your new email inbox for a confirmation email. Check to be sure it is from a site you signed up with before clicking on the verification link - links from sites you have never heard of should NOT be clicked on as they could crash your computer! Once you have been verified with the survey site, prepare to get paid taking surveys!

After you are registered, you will probably be asked to fill out some profiles. The survey site will use these to qualify you for surveys to take. When they find a survey you appear to qualify for, they will send you an email inviting you to login and take the survey!

If are serious about getting paid taking surveys, you will want to respond promptly each time you qualify, and show the survey site that you are dependable. Gradually you will receive more and more surveys to take, and each one will be worth more! Best of all, how much you work is always up to you.

Fire your Network with Email Marketing

By MLMAbsolute

In all kinds of business, you need to maintain contact with customers, whether be it product update of feedback survey or conducting promotional campaign, you need to contact your clients.

The invent of online Network Marketing created a gap in the personal touch in marketing. You need to fill up the gap to succeed in Network Marketing

Doing MLM/ Network Marketing online, the first most important thing is collecting leads, most often through a opt-in form or squeeze page. These leads are targeted leads, which mean that they are people who are interested in your company or product.

The leads collected will make up your future sale. In order to close a sale with them in future, you need to let then know you. You can do this by building your brand image. This can be done through advertisements through emails. What makes branding so important is the customer perception. Like Apple, they have successfully created a fantastic branding for its products. When people think of Mp3, they think of Ipod.

To make people remember you, your company, or website, you can use email marketing to reach out to them. Email Marketing is a powerful way to reach out to your leads, and convert them into potential sales.

Email Pro

When composing email-messages, you need to keep in mind some points to make your emails look more professional.

- Who are you?

You need to identify yourself in your email address so people will be less reluctant to open your email. Use emails that shouts your identity e.g. sales@yourcompany.com. Such emails can be created very easily as most hosting plans give you free emails under your website URL.

The next factor that you should pay attention to is your subject line. Your subject must have the power to make people interested in your email. As a rule, keep it under 50 words.

- Body

Quickly identify yourself and the purpose of the message. It will be better if you state who referred you to them. Restrict the use of fancy pictures, keep it business like, or make it in line with the style of your website.

Increase The Effectiveness of Your Email

By increasing your Email conversion rates, you will get more traffic into your website, thus increasing your ROE (returns on efforts) for writing the emails. To increase your email conversion rates, you should follow our 6 rules to emailing success;

- Brand

You need to brand yourself or the company in order to make people remember you. Good examples of branding are; The Rich Jerk, Success University, and many more. Stick with the brand image you created, and use it consistently in every email you send out. Put your Brand in the subject line, so people can recognize you instantly.

- Honesty

Be honest and truthful in your email subject line. Don't use false information to trick readers into opening the email. It is also a legal requirement to have accurate subject line.

- Instill Urgency

In order to make readers take action, you have to instill a sense of urgency in them to take action. Use time sensitive words like "Buy Now, While Stocks Last, Limited time, For first 100 sign ups only".

- Entice them

To further entice them to read our email, you can also give them some benefite to do so. Everybody likes free stuffs. Include a gift in your subject line to entice them to open the email. Some examples are; Get your free E-Book, Redeem your free trial, etc...

- Know your limits

In your main body, you can use bolds, colors, and capital letters to emphasize the benefits of your product / service. But bear in mind not to over do it. Using too much bolds, capital letters and colors will not only confuse your readers, it will also piss people and spiders off. Spiders may filter your email and classify it as SPAM.

- K.I.S.S Keep It Short and Sweet.

Don't try to put in tonnes of information and updates in one email. Keep it short and sweet, focusing on the main points only. Practice your own discretion when writing emails to your audience and purpose of message.

*P.S. It is compulsory (legal requirement) for you to include an "unsubscribe tab" in your emails to reduce SPAM

Tips To Guarantee Your Chances For Success

By C R Bolden

We all know that there is no guarantee that you will become successful if you start a business. This article will explain ways to help you understand how to guarantee your chances for success. There is a right way to success and there is a wrong way but I realize in order to be successful you have to handle your business the right way.

So to start you off on the right way by advising you that before investing any money in a business venture, you should seek advice from a qualified business person. Someone who can help you to eliminate most of the pitfalls that can possibly lead you to business failure. Here are some suggestions to help you along the way:

To get started towards profiting from the web, find out a proper niche for your business. Just in case you dont know what niche means. You basically want to be in a business that you are familiar and comptable with. When you have created this niche, develop your business around this niche. Decide whether you are going to exercise a small business or are you going to do an all out big business.

For marketing your business you must know your targeted audience and market. Do the proper homework before starting your business and make sure you do have a business plan. Be creative, innovative and focused to your goal while making the business plan. Market your business as much as possible because there are so many places to market.

It is important to take care of your business more bigger than it seems regardless of the size. Keep these thoughts and a business plan in position so that you can know exactly where you're heading. And the most important aspect is to be patient, strong-minded and entirely devoted. It is mandatory for you to work very hard and hand over a lot of quality hours from your day to your business.

Just try to keep in mind that some of the things we might think we need for our business may not be necessary. I'm not trying to say you need to be cheap but you have to watch your expenses along the way as you focus on your profitable business.

Running your business can be hard work and it takes time. The good thing about it though is the fact you can start very small and grow at your own pace. You don't have to look rich, you don't have to spend a lot of money, and you can do great with a very small expense and a lot of work.

To sum it all up is that a business doesn't need all the expenses of a normal big business. You don't need a huge office. You can work from any place, as long as you have a good computer, an internet connection and motivation to take immediate action.

Promoting Products using Pay per Click Advertising

By Jim Spence

There are many different people across the Internet who will tell you their secrets to efficiently using Google AdWords. Many/Most are not well informed as to the methods and rules that Google uses to administer their Pay Per Click AdWords Program.

Knowing how to collect appropriate Keywords, organize them, study traffic potential and then creating a campaign are the basis for a successful Google AdWords Campaign.

Once you have organized and the keywords into sub categories, it is time to write your ad.

Writing an ad is more of an Art than a Science and correctly formating the ad will make the difference between a click through rate of .004 and .04. For 1000 clicks the difference is .004 = 4 clicks and .04 = 40 clicks. That is 10 time more clicks!

Now your campaign is up and running and you have some clicks coming in, the secret to NOT WASTING MONEY is to use a system to efficiently adjust pay per click up or down depending on position.

Getting the discounted cost per click from Google is IMPORTANT to your campaign. IF you have a click through rate that is high enough, they will disount your cost. IF the click through rate is not good, they will offer you a rate that is ivery high per click.

Getting a good click through rate (CTR) is dependent on having ads that will attract clicks. You can optimize several ads by setting Google Adwords to display the several different ads evenly and then use the one(s) that have the best CTR.

Repair or Replace - the Boiler Question

By Tal Potishman

UK homeowners frequently strive to run an energy efficient household. Energy efficiency is proven to save time, money and lend a helping hand to the environment. Even the government is showing concern. Building Regulations now contain set standards to which all heating and hot water systems must comply. The current state of the economy and rising prices provide additional incentive toward efficiency. Homeowners are finding it harder than ever to pay for all their bills.

Recent climate changes have brought additional attention to the topic. The number of natural disasters attributed to the changing climate raises the concern of many citizens. Often, homeowners do not know what they can do to improve the current situation. There are a number of slight changes in the home that can produce great results. Energy efficiency can be attained in part by ensuring that your home uses high efficiency heating and hot water systems. There are a number of options available to the homeowner.

High efficiency condensing technology is one option. When a homeowner is faced with the choice of either replacing or repairing their current system, they are often unsure what to do. If they are educated as to the pros and cons of their decision, the choice becomes much easier. Frequently, the homeowner depends on the installer for crucial decision-making advice. The installer is often the final factor in the process.

The high price of boilers and the required installation forces many consumers to choose repair over replacement. This poor decision can lead to future problems. While it is true that repairs lengthen the life of a boiler, they cannot improve its level of efficiency. A faulty appliance will only end up costing more in the end. The price of repair and the cost of running older boilers is often much higher than the cost of complete system replacement.

If costs don't seem to be too persuasive perhaps the following statistics will change your mind. UK households produced 21% of the country's carbon dioxide emission. Hot water and heating systems make up 80% of that emission. Energy efficiency not only lower bills but also helps the UK to reach its goal of decreasing carbon emissions by the year 2010. Heating and hot water contributes to the majority of the average fuel bill. The use of high efficiency boilers can reduce bills by 30% and save the average home 200 per year.

There are a number of makes and models to suit your needs. Key features include cast aluminium-silicon heat exchanger, brass waterset, efficient pump, and a concealed system connection that enhances performance of the product. A centrally located telescopic flue kit with preformed connections and pre-fitted mains electrical lead makes installation even faster and cheaper. The spacious interior and drop-down controls make service of the appliance easier than ever. There is also the option of buying an RF, radio frequency, version that gives the user total control at the touch of a button. Warranties vary model to model but commonly provide a 10 year parts warranty on the heat exchanger and two-year parts and labour warranty on the entire product.

By Third Charm

These days, everyone is looking for a quality unique home based business. The right home based career can be a great second career, or a new business that can change your life. Here are some of the businesses that can have you working from home soon.

A lot of the more interesting home based job businesses out there are online ventures. A web based job has many benefits when stacked up against different kinds of home based opportunities. With an internet enterprise, you will find some nice bonuses that you don't see from different areas of work.

A good observation is that the most powerful characteristic of a correctly established website is that it runs 24-7. This advantage, on it's own, makes an internet based venture a great choice for a home based business opportunity. Just think about how nice it would be working a business opportunity that generates cash while you're out of the office.

There are a few various operations that you can select from to earn an income with an online business. Let's break this list of potential choices apart into a couple of definitive groups. The groups are first, being hired by someone, and two, working for your self.

The first group will refer to any kind of occupation that you get a job, and get paid by, someone. We have found there are a number of different types of online, home based, employment out there for you. This list would be comprised of, clerical work, telemarketing, and ghost writing.

There isn't much that you have to have to get work doing one of these home based jobs. It will be presumed that, you should be educated, or prepared to learn, to accomplish the deeds that you are hired to do. You most definitely will be in need of some type of phone service for nearly all of these various online employment opportunities.

The final item that you must have is a computer. If you're good at what you do, many of these companies love having a work from home arrangement. The business profits not just because of your production, and your equipment, but also doesn't need to give up work space.

The other list is of careers that are only for any of you who choose to create their own business. The list of these businesses you might find are composed of, consulting work developing e-products, and marketing. This list is just a small sample of all the possible ways to make a living that exist.

Choosing any of these business opportunities, you are your own boss. It will be up to you to decide how much time you put in, and you need to make all the decisions in your online venture. The chance to make a lot of money is there, but so are the obligations needed to succeed, in running your very own online business.

Most business people will tell you that, you will be well served to set out on this untested business as a part time job. This will ease the pressure during the time you start up your new business. In the future, if you are successful, you can decide whether you will switch over to your profitable venture as your primary source of income.

Home based business opportunities seem to be the future. Do your homework, and take note of all the best business opportunities that are out there. If you find your niche, you could find financial success.

The old school ways spent me out of my business

By John Wallen

Your thinking to yourself one fine day, how you'd like to be in a home business. Stay home and be your own boss. So you put together a little office area with a computer, printer, phone, fax, all the essential home office needs.

With everything in place let the search begin. You purchase some opportunity magazines. Someone recommends some ezines. You look at on and off line classifieds. You surf the web, sign up for information, and get some calls from reps that you can barely get a word in edge wise with.

You start to look harder and harder at all the different companies. The different compensation packages. You analyze each companies product line. You think some more, than finally you've made your decision. And there you have it, your now an affiliate of one of the best companies on the internet.

Now you log into your brand new back office, and start learning as much as you can about the company. Go through a few training videos, play around with a few marketing tools, then finally give your sponsor a call and introduce yourself, or maybe if your lucky he'll call you.

He gives you a list of things to start doing, and your off and running doing everything he recommends. The business cards, the sizzle cards, he tells you to write a list of 100 people you know, and should pitch your new business too. I'm willing to bet you even consider flyers.

None of that seems to be working like it's suppose to. Your friends are avoiding you, your family is no where to be found. You know your last resort is to buy some leads and push past your comfort zone, and call these supposed prospects. You rattle on never hearing the click of them hanging up. More money wasted.

There's only a handful of pit bulls left out their that actually still succeed in using these old school ways. They will work relentlessly to put the odds on their side. But for the rest of the home business net workers, failure using these methods is inevitable.

That was an all to familiar experience for me, and maybe you can say the same. But what happened for me was, I came across a complete marketing system while browsing an ezine one morning, and my business has grown full time. This can be put to use in any home business. Your networking will never be the same!

MLM stands for multi level marketing. The name indicates that there are different levels in this marketing policy. Yes, there are. The manufacturers or the producers of a product are forming the upper line in the business whereas the field level buyers who can turn into commission based dealers promoting the products at grass level are forming the lower line. Both the sectors if worked together can make an MLM business a great success.

Calling Network Marketing Leads or Warm Market

By David Lawrence

You just started your networking business, you are excited to launch it to the world, then your upline says, "make a list."

Many people just are not comfortable or confident to talk to their warm market because they would prefer to have a little success first before approaching those closest to them.

However for others, this is a golden opportunity to introduce your closest high quality and influencial family and friends to the business or product.

One of the main benefits to contacting your market as opposed to calling network marketing leads is that they typically already trust you. It is also gratifying to work with people you already have relationships with.

On the other side of the coin, if you have not had previous experience with your own business, it might be more difficult to get your warm market to believe you can help them be successful. Maybe you have hit up your friends before and do not want to go there again.

Network marketing leads are a great solution for those that have reservations about contacting their warm market and thus are able to confidently start moving their business forward.

Keep in mind, every prospect you talk to is someone else's warm market. Because the person on the other side of phone has requested information on a home business, this is also a much easier call for many people to make.

Ironically, contacting network marketing leads is a fantastic way to approach your new prospect's warm market via referrals if they comfortable approaching their friends and family.

How To Quickly Build A Successful Online Business

By P.K.

So you want to start an online business?

Or are you a newbie learning how to create a successful online business so you can quit your day job and start living life before its too late?

In my opinion, you have two paths that you can take...

You can search the internet and find all the free information you can to build a successful business or you can buy a product that contains a tested method that helps you to start make money right away.

If you have the time, then why not go for the free information route right? If you're lucky then you might stumble upon a specific technique and start to see some decent results.

On the other hand you might end up like I did, with information overload, not knowing exactly which way to go and end up doing NOTHING at all!

So if you DO decide to go the free route then just make sure that you Take Action! After trying several different things, at least you took action and learned from your experience, which will benefit you in the future.

If you keep taking action then eventually, someday, you might figure out a way to make some money online.

Or taking the "buying a product" path can be much easier and faster because you are using a tested method that someone has already used to make money online. But like I said before, you MUST take action. You will NEVER make any money with a product that you read once and then act on what you have just learned.

But maybe you don't have the money to pay for this kind of information. Well if you are serious about making money on the Internet, then you should treat it like a business.

If you are were going to start a new business offline, you would have to invest a considerable amount of money.

Just think of this as a startup cost to educate yourself on how to get your business up and running and making money the right way and as quick as possible.

So whether you decide to jump into a paid product or are just doing some free research before you get started, the most important thing to do is to GET STARTED!

eBay - The Lucrative Way To Make Money Online

By Thomas Griffin

Today it's hard to stay unaware of "fabulous" opportunities to make money on eBay. Looking at well-established online stores and auction websites, it's really difficult to resist the temptation of trying something like that yourself.

Registering on eBay

Well, the greatest benefit of selling at eBay is that it is truly popular. Can you imagine it having as much as 100 million members? In other words, once you list your product at their website, it automatically gets exposure to 100 million potential buyers!

Going further, eBay provides you with an opportunity to sell not only some new items you might be buying from a wholesaler, but also things you no longer need. There are actually many people who may get interested in buying used things or antique pieces you'll offer.

EBay provides you with perfect flexibility in terms of pricing. You can either set a fixed price on your product, or a starting bid price that will be increasing with every further bid. By setting a reserve price you'll make sure that your product won't get sold at a price that is not beneficial to you.

EBay is also very flexible in terms of product range. Here, you are allowed to sell the widest array of goods. Whether you are looking to sell a brand new cell phone obtained from a wholesaler, a used car, or an antique piece of furniture, you are welcome at a single website - eBay. So you can conveniently place all of that stuff at one place rather than roaming around looking for a website that is dealing with each type of products separately.

Make Money on eBay through Drop Shipping

One more advantage offered by eBay and widely used by e-sellers today are drop shipping opportunities. When arranged properly, this kind of business can be very lucrative. How does it work? You decide on a product to sell, find a reputable drop ship supplier (wholesaler), and arrange to work with them. You are listing their products online and are taking orders from customers. Then you will be sending money and orders to the wholesaler who than takes care of the delivery. As a result, your profit is determined by the difference in prices: you are taking money at a retail price, and sending a wholesale price sum.

Drop shipping makes a great choice for people who want to enter an online business but yet are afraid or reluctant to make a large investment into equipment, inventory, and deal with shipping issues.

How to Gain Home Financial Freedom

By Alastair Hayward

The desire to get rich is inherent in all of us. We all want financial freedom that will ensure that we control our destiny in life and better still live a comfortable lifestyle. However, financial freedom does not come easy. It requires unmatched creativity and ability to see opportunities even when they are disguised as challenges. Our aim is to give you the ropes that will see your dream of financial freedom come true.

With improvement of technology in internet, you have numerous opportunities and avenues to strike a goldmine at the comfort of the living room, and just by a click of the mouse. You don't have to be a geek or a genius in internet to gain financial freedom. With commitment and determination, your dream of financial freedom is easily achievable.

Chances of going at a loss in such schemes are greatly minimized since new members join the gifting system daily. To move faster up the pyramid, you can convince friends to join in. Once a member reaches the top of the pyramid, one receives invested dues and is henceforth free to quite the gifting scheme without any preconditions.

After registration and becoming a member, your gift is given to one who is at the top of the pyramid. And as time goes by, you move closer to the pyramid and enjoy the benefits of the new recruits that send gifts when they become members.

There are minimal chances of losing initial investments, since new members are always registered to the cash gifting system. You can move up the ladder by convincing their friends to join the cash gifting programs. Quitting of cash gifting systems is always without any conditions after achieving all your entitled benefits from the system after reaching the peak of the pyramid.

Another way of making money is through the spirit of wealth, which connotes a methodology similar to the cash gifting system. You get an opportunity to give and receive gifts from friends, and at the same time, share business ideas, of course, after becoming a registered member. You can invest on stock exchange or real estate from the returns from the system. Besides, you can sell products of different categories to your friends and other members.

Extreme cash system is another easy route to financial freedom. Here you get to sell products of different categories to your friends and colleagues. You are rewarded for every sale you close. Synergy is really important if you are to succeed in business. Blending all the three methods is a sure way of gaining more financial freedom at the comfort of your home.

When I stopped pretending, my business took off

By John Wallen

Personally, I wasted my first 5 years pretending to be in business just like many people do when they join a work at home opportunity. I was busy. I was spending money. I was getting organized, attending all of the training calls, and memorizing the comp plan.

Once things were ready, I was going to be rich, but the sales never came. When the majority of networkers start their businesses, they spend their time, money, and efforts on building an infrastructure designed to support their 100th sale.

To much energy getting set up with best office equipment, and not nearly enough on the very first sale. Even a headset for the phone, and a 800 number. The best info packets, the whole nine yards. And until they get that first sale, all that energy is just a waste.

So many people that get into this industry always think, get organized this is the way business is done, they are wrong. Most all fail. The ones that realize business is done in the order of market and sell instead of organize, will always come out the winners.

People get scared when it comes to marketing and selling. They think their manipulating or twisting arms. They can't stand rejection. But when both parties are completely satisfied, selling is the most rewarding part of your business.

I discovered, and this works really great for me. I use the attraction approach. I positioned myself in my business so I can be of value. This pulls people to me so I don't have to be a pushy salesman type, because no one likes a pushy sales pitch anyway.

When you put yourself in this position, and put this strategy to work, new prospects will be eager to use your services, buy your products, join your opportunity. This will be automatic instead of the revolving door of trying to sell people. They will sell themselves and see you as a value instead of pushy.

Tocs Cash Gifting Can Work For You

By Tom O

Some people think that participating in a cash gifting program is worthless and could potentially be a scam. Meanwhile there are other people who are making a decent profit off of these types of programs. It is up to you to determine how you feel about the cash gifting program and if it is something you would like to look into.

Not to mislead you because there are programs appearing to be scams out there. It is less risky to use a more popular program that has proven to work. Look around for a strong system that has been proven to work and is popular within the community.

Everyone is talking about the new program, The Overnight Cash System or TOCS. This is a 1 up system but it trains its new members on a one on one basis. This way the new members can receive better coaching at a more personalized level.

There are many advantages and disadvantages to the program. For example it is good that this program offers current marketing techniques to its users. However a negative aspect to the program is the overall public perception of cash gifting systems in general. This makes it difficult for the program to grow since people are hesitant to join.

If you visit a cash gifting forum, you may see many people referring to the amount of money required to join TOCS. Typically, people invest $500 to join. Then there are additional fees according to the level you want to start on and for marketing materials, such as a website.

Investing is a risky business but it is necessary when you start a business so why not invest it into a program. You have to think with a positive mindset that you will get your investment money back plus additional funds.

Although a TOCS system may generate a higher earnings potential, many people that you will find in a cash gifting forum will advise you to start out with an affordable acsh gifting system. Some systems claim they can turn $100 into $83,100.

Scamming is illegal, cash gifting is not. According to the IRS 2002 annual gift tax exclusion code, taxpayers can give up to $11,000 a year per recipient with no limitations to the amount of recipient or what relation you are to them.

How to Choose the Optimal Platform for your Blog

By Jared Conley

I can't think of a more common concern or question among both novice and veteran bloggers alike: which blogging platform should I pick? Aside from learning how to blog, it's an almost universal concern.

And there is no one-size-fits-all answer. All bloggers NEED to own their domain names, but choice of the platform is largely dependent on the individual blogger's requirements. With that stated, I've compiled a list of pros and cons of the two primary platform choices below.

Hosted Platforms

Hosted platforms refer to services whereby a service provider gives you access to their software, hardware, and network connection, and you create a blogging account to use on their platform. With a hosted blog, you have access to an administrative panel for your blog, and that's it.

Typical hosted platforms include solutions like Blogger, TypePad, and LiveJournal.

Advantages of Hosted Platforms

1. Economical: most are free; some (like TypePad) are offered with multiple price points

2. Simple to get started: just signup for an account and then quickly learn how to create blog posts

3. Automatic updates: you don't have to worry about keeping hosted software updated and patched.

Disadvantages of Hosted Platforms

1. Rigid: there are fewer configuration choices with hosted platforms.

2. Limited design choices: you typically only get to choose from a limited number of average designs, and you often can't make updates to them

3. Generic URL: some hosted platforms don't have the choice to use your own URL

4. Less control: you are at the mercy of the platform

5. Migration issues: migrating from many free hosted platforms results in a lot of effort and often the temporary loss of search engine rankings

Self-hosted Platforms

Self-hosted platforms consist of a web hosting account you establish with a host, and the blogging software you install on the host's server. With a self-hosted blog, you have access to a management panel for your blog, but you also have access to a server account and the blog software where you can do nigh anything.

Popular self-hosted software includes WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal.

Advantages of Self-hosted Platforms

1. Design flexibility: you have full control over layout and design

2. Great software: the best software exists on self-hosted platforms

3. Custom URL: custom URL's are ubiquitous on self-hosted platforms

4. Adaptability: you can change your blog as your needs change

5. Easy migration: should you ever need to migrate to a different platform or another server, migrating is a snap

Disadvantages of Self-hosted Platforms

1. Difficult setup: setup can sometimes be difficult, but this can be overcome with a good blogs how to

2. Cost: while the blogging software is free, the hosting platform will cost you money

3. Hosting issues: unless you choose a good host, you might have to suffer from down-time or poor support

4. Upgrades: you will need to keep your software patched

Most of of my blogs are self-hosted, and it's what I generally recommend to anyone looking to create a professional presence. There are too many benefits to turn down, and you usually have the choice to host many blogs and domains on one account, driving the cost per blog down to a small amount.

Live Easily With Live-In Housekeepers

By Alice Sy

There are definitely upsides to having live-in housekeepers at home. A lot of people have recognized the advantages of maintaining one; thus it is not surprising if everybody else would dream of affording the luxury of having a live-in housekeeper at home.

The sad truth, though, is that only a select group of people can afford to hire live-in housekeepers. For a great many of people, having a full time made is, indeed, a luxury. In fact, in plenty of countries abroad, particularly the United States, having a live-in housekeeper is very expensive.

In the event that you would also like to experience what it's like to have housekeepers living in your home, it is necessary that you conduct a thorough interview and background check. Certainly, you would not want to let just anybody living in your house twenty fours a day; thus, you should be able to find out if you can trust your housekeeper with your life.

Basic interview questions should deal with the following: number of years they have served in the housekeeping business, the names of their employers, the reasons why they left their work, and so on. It is also important that you let them know of your expectations of them, including the salary and the benefits that they will be receiving from you.

You should also know how your applicants feel when it comes to doing household chores. Ask them how comfortable are they cleaning, cooking, taking care of the children, and keeping the house in order. If they are honest in their answers, they should be able to look at you straight in the eye.

Another must-do is to have them fill out an application form where they can state their full name, address, contact number, social security number, and any other important details. Then you should also verify if they have a valid work visa.

Performing a background check on your choice of live-in housekeepers can prove to be very difficult. There are certain agencies, though, that can help you with this, but you will need to shell out some money to pay for their services. Nonetheless, this will leave you stress-free in the end.

These guide questions serve to help you spot good live-in housekeepers for your home. It is essential that you employ only the best ones, considering that you will be entrusting the management of your home to them.

Domestic helper in Hong Kong receives Bahamas work permit

By Alice Sy

There is an increasing trend among wealthy Bahamian household in hiring a live-in maid from overseas. One sample case is a retired couples in their 50's who found 1MaidHK.com and placed a live-in maid job order.

The job offer was too hard for any filipina domestic helper in Hong Kong to resist. It consists of 5-day work, free food, accommodation and airticket to Bahamas and four weeks paid annual leave upon completion of 2 years contract. And the good news is that the much awaited Bahamas work permit has finally been approved.

For the live-in maid position, Lorena stands out among the 4 applicants in terms of educational attainment and working experience. She is now very excited to work in Bahamas after receiving the work permit and air ticket from her Bahamas employer. "Don't easily give up amidst trial, grab every job opportunity for your family's future and apply through a reliable agency - World Champ International Employment Agency", says Lorena.

The employer files the application in Bahamas and part of the requirement is to show that there is no suitable Bahamian candidate for the position. This includes advertising in newspapers. The processing of Bahamas work permit took approximately 2-3 months from the time the job offer was confirmed. Work permit fees range from $350 to $10,000 per year depending on the category. For the live-in maid category, the employer paid $650 work permit fee.

The Bahamas work permit is valid for one year from date of issue, measures 5 inches x 7.75 inches and is light yellow green in color. The top of the work permit read as "Permit to engage in gainful occupation". Other information such as live-in maid's name, employer's name, employer's residence address as well as the applicant's photo can be found in the work permit.

Although it is cheaper to travel through the US, however, the transit visa application is not guaranteed. Another option to avoid transit visa problem is to choose a different route, which is normally via London.

With the power of internet marketing, many life changing job opportunity awaits many Filipino domestic helpers in Hong Kong who are willing to face the challenges of a new culture and new environment by internet posting in one of Hong Kong's most powerful domestic helper online platform --- 1MaidHK.com !

Part L of the Building Regulations Harnesses High Efficiency Boil

By Tal Potishman

In 2005 the Building Regulations introduced the new Part L demanding all new boilers installed to be categorized as high efficiency systems. This includes condensing boilers and combination (also known as combi) boilers which use a secondary heat exchanger (or an extra large single heat exchanger) to recoup the heat that would otherwise be expelled into the atmosphere via the boiler flue. The new Building Regulations Part L also called for heating controls, system insulation and hot water cylinders among other components to improve their respective energy efficiency levels.

The new high efficiency heating unit introduced a new level of professional requirements from the system designer and the operative installing it. Each part of the system (such as the boiler, the radiators, the hot water cylinder and the heating controls) is fully integrated with the other components, to maximize the system's efficiency and heating output. As such, the design has to account for each component's specific set up and consider their input and output demands.

Industry research calculated that since the introduction of part L of the building regulations, the savings of carbon emissions made by the UK domestic heating market have been substantial. Recently conducted research puts the amount of carbon emission reduction at around 2.4 million tonnes. The researchers further calculated that if the industry did not apply the new Part L requirements, and continued installing SEDBUK D rated boilers, the carbon emissions from domestic heating would have grown by over one million tonnes since 2005.

At current levels there is still large potential for reducing the carbon emissions generated by the domestic boilers in the UK. There are around four million old boilers which are significantly less efficient than modern SEDBUK A rated boilers. Replacing such old boilers with an A rated boiler can reduce carbon emissions by around 30%. Each home in the UK produces an average of 5 tonnes of CO2 per annum. Across the whole population, domestic heating accounts for around 16% of the UK's CO2 emissions.

The government is trying to encourage carbon reducing behaviour within the home heating sector. It has scrapped stamp duty for carbon neutral homes and has introduced the home information packs which have an energy performance certificate as part of the pack. However, the stamp duty benefit does not apply to the vast majority of inefficient homes around the country making it less effective. The home information packs (with their energy performance certificate component) also have drawbacks in that they are only produced when the house is sold, and thus not having enough of an impact at other times to encourage reduction in carbon emissions.

Other levers that can be pulled to reduce carbon emissions from domestic heating in the UK are related to renewable and sustainable energy. The government plans to build around 3 million new homes between now and 2020. If just 10% of these new homes use solar thermal heating or heat pumps along with traditional (gas or oil) boilers, around 150,000 tonnes of carbon emissions would be saved annually.

A combination of legislation and education can help the government achieve stretching targets of reducing the nation's carbon emissions. By following training professional development guidelines, the UK plumbing and heating industry is widely ready for the market to steady and move towards more energy efficient systems and renewable energy technologies.

Can You Find a Cheap (but Great) Pay Per Click Campaign?

By James Nissen

It is possible to find an affordable pay per click campaign that works, but it is going to be difficult. If your goal is to start a great pay per click campaign but not spend a lot of your budget on it, you can follow these tips to achieve your goal. Pay per click is important because it is going to allow a small or new business to get on the first page of the search engine results without waiting a long time. When your business grows in size, you can stop your pay per click campaign, but in the meantime you are going to want to have this to help your business to grow.

The biggest tip for getting an inexpensive pay per click campaign is to use odd keywords. If your business is a clothing store specializing in women's clothing, you probably don't want to purchase the keyword "women's clothing" because it is going to break your budget. There are other, less used keywords that are still going to bring in traffic, but cost less. For example, you could use "designer t-shirts" or "women's trousers".

When you are looking for a cheap pay per click advertising campaign, you are also going to want to consider doing a blitz campaign. Basically, a blitz campaign is going to be a short, but intense campaign and is going to be good for bringing your rankings up pretty quickly. A blitz campaign can be anywhere from two to four weeks, and you are going to go all out and try to get as many people to click on your link as possible by using a lot of different words. Sure, it's going to cost a lot of money, but in the long run it will probably be cheaper than a longer campaign because you are going to get a lot of new customers in such a short time.

When you are doing a blitz attack, make sure that you are ready for the influx of customers and that your website is ready, because once you get started it is really going to go by quickly. You don't want to have your pay per click links going to a websites that is under construction, which will result in you spending a lot of money and not getting anything.

The final tip for getting a cheap pay per click service is to take advantage of common misspellings. You already know that a lot of people misspell common words, so if you choose some misspelled words as your keywords, you may get a better price.

Although it's more difficult if you are on a budget, using pay per click for your Internet advertising is definitely possible. In fact, it's probably the best way for a small company to get their first customers from a search engine results page.

Read This If You Thought Blogging To The Bank 3.0 Is A Scam

By Yomi A

Blogging has been around for a few years now. Most people use blogs to record their thoughts and lives, while the select few use them as a free way to make a fortune.

One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. In 2006 he dished the dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is where his brand new, fresh off the press Blogging to the Bank 3.0 system comes into play.

For those who know who Rob Benwell is like me, you?ve probably made a killing using blogs.

For those who don't, he's the story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn't getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques (including me). He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver's underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies. Then July 2007 he released Blogging to the Bank 2.0 which showed users his new methods to creating online wealth using blogs. In total both versions have been read by over 50,000 people across the world.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in these ebooks are now showing there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 3.0 comes into play.

It's full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything's explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out. I got hold of an advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells for and it has been worth every single cent! I got it in the afternoon and by the evening I was creating new profitable blogs. Within a couple of hours of them being active I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 teaches you Robs new step by step blueprint to creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization techniques. There's even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.

4 Simple-Easy Tactics to Master Affiliate Marketing

By Asem Eltaher

A brilliant and proven idea to make money online at home is to set up your affiliate marketing business. Just take an action now and follow a proven formula, and this would definitely be your first step towards a new life style.

One of the benefits of affiliate marketing is that you do not need to have your own product to start to make money online. It is as easy as promoting others products while getting a percentage of the sales, defined as affiliate commission.

For that, you need to find affiliate programs that are related to your niche. Then, you register for the affiliate program (affiliate programs are FREE to join), and receive affiliate links to promote the merchant website. This link should be placed at your website and every time someone buys through your link, you receive an affiliate commission.

Discover 4 Steps Proven Formula to Master an Affiliate Program:

1. Look around and select one of your hobbies to be your niche.

I am pretty sure that you agree with me that working on something interesting for you is really a good idea. Therefore, look around and think what you like to do. For example, if horse-back riding is your hobby, why you don't promote E-Books about "how to train your horse"?

2. Further, check the common affiliate marketing reviews to check what others say about these products.

To succeed in affiliate marketing, just be honest! Promote products that you yourself would be glad that you bought them. Always think of your customers before thinking of your commissions. This way would build a life-long relationship and trust between you and your customers.

3. Check how many other affiliates promote the same product.

If the product is profitable and of a great use for your customers but promoted by other thousands of affiliates, then it would be hard to make money with this affiliate program. Therefore, your duty now is to check how easy or hard your competition is.

4. Drive traffic and only targeted traffic to your website.

Joining the best affiliate program and promoting products of high value wouldn't make you money unless you get a fresh and daily flow of targeted visitors to your website. As a tip; start with article marketing to see quick results and even so doesn't cost you anything.

More Things to Consider When Starting Your Home-Based Business

By business card secrets

How much capital you have - Some businesses (e.g. manufacturing) require relatively large amounts of capital to get started, to pay for such things as special equipment, raw materials, stock, transportation, operating licences, advertising, and so on. Others (e.g. window cleaning) require very little in the way of capital expenditure. Bear in mind, however, that even in a low cost business you will still need to have sufficient funds to cover your needs and those of your family while your business is becoming established.

How much you need to earn - Some (a few) home-based businesses can bring in $100 or more an hour, while in others you will be fortunate to earn this amount in a day If your business is intended to provide a second income - to augment a pension, for example - then earnings may not matter especially to you. In this case you may simply wish to start a business doing what you enjoy, even if it will never bring in a fortune. By contrast, if your business will have to support a family (not to mention a mortgage, car, foreign holidays, school fees and so on) you will need to zero in on those opportunities which offer the best potential for such an income.

Whatever you decide to do, it is important that it meets all your requirements. If you start a business which is unsuitable, for whatever reason, you will not enjoy doing it. And if you cannot do it properly the business is most likely to fail, thus undermining your self-confidence, and perhaps preventing you from doing something else which you could do well.

If You Still Can't Decide...

It may be now that you have come down to a choice between two or three different ideas. Each has its attractions but also its drawbacks, and you really can't decide between them. What more can you do to help reach a decision?

One suggestion - which is a good idea even if you have already decided on a business - is to find out more about what each of your possible businesses would involve in practice. See if you can get part-time or temporary work in a similar field. If this proves impossible, speak to others already doing this type of job or go and watch them at work. Once you have more information, you are very likely to find yourself re-grading your business ideas against your list of requirements.

Depending on your proposed business, perhaps you could even try starting up in a small way yourself, working in your spare time initially without giving up your main job. This can provide an excellent opportunity to see how you enjoy doing the work, and may also give you a better idea of how much demand there is likely to be for your services.

Overall, the more information you can obtain about your proposed business before you decide to proceed, the better is the chance that it will meet your expectations and requirements.

Drawbacks of a Home-Based Business

By business card secrets

Possible variations of income

Instead of having a 'secure' regular weekly or monthly income, a business owner depends for his income on the success of the business, and this is likely to vary from month to month.

Of course, an employee's sense of security may well be illusory; if the company employing him is unsuccessful, he will soon find himself out of a job. However, a large business is often able to absorb a temporary downturn in its fortunes by cutting costs and drawing on reserves, so employees are less quickly and directly affected by their employer's difficulties. A business owner, on the other hand, suffers an immediate loss of income if his business passes through a difficult period.

Sacrifices

Starting a new enterprise may involve sacrifices both for you and your family. Many businessmen and women have sacrificed their career prospects in a large organisation in order to go out on their own.

If you decide to be your own boss and it doesn't work out, you may find it difficult to re-enter paid employment for someone else. During the business's first few years it may be difficult to find time for a holiday or leisure activities. There may also be financial sacrifices, as in the early years most of the profits from the business may have to be re-invested or used to pay off loans. In the short term, you and your family's general standard of living may well be reduced.

Hard work and stress

In spite of the apparent freedom of being your own boss, the early years of a new business generally require you to work longer hours than you did before. You will have to bear all the stress and worry of the business, and will probably carry this with you even when you are not actually working. There can also be a sense of loneliness and isolation.

Many people who decide to set up in business begin (at least) on their own. One common complaint among such people is that they miss the day-to-day banter of the office or shop floor. They also miss having colleagues to turn to when it comes to making difficult decisions or solving problems.

Cash Gifting - Three Characteristics that Lead to Success

By Ron Fara

Becoming a successful Cash Gifting business owner takes a special type of person. If you wish to truly succeed in this business, you must truly reflect upon your personal feelings and be truthful about your qualities and capabilities.

Anyone who is knowledgeable and organized can run a business. Whether that business fails or succeeds is another story. However, if your calling in life is to run a Cash Gifting business, you will automatically possess these three unique qualities.

Cash Gifting is means exactly what it says. You are giving a cash gift to someone else to help them in their financial hardships. If your only goal in life is to make money, this is not the business for you. If it is your goal in life to help you and others lead a comfortable and happy life without the burdens of financial stress, this could be the business that was meant for you.

Compassion You must have compassion for others in your community, society, state or even the world in order to have the motivation to help make the lives of others as well as yourself better. Compassion for others is what this program is all about. People come together to help other people in their financial burdens in life. Without compassion, you will lack the motivation required to truly make this program a success.

Consideration is an essential quality in this business. You must be considerate of those who are having financial difficulties and are not able to live quality lives because of their financial situation. You must have consideration in your heart, in order to portray a sense of caring to the people you wish to invite onto your Cash Gifting team.

Without consideration, you will lack the ability to move forward. People will not follow you, nor will they care what you have to offer. You must show consideration for their feelings, lives and financial situation.

Trust Trust is the part that is the hardest obstacle to overcome. Trust is not something that is given lightly. You must be able to trust in the people that you are planning to begin this venture with. If you have the slightest bit of uncertainty in the people you choose to team up with, than this home business will not succeed. Therefore, it is important to begin your Cash Gifting business with one of the many legal gifting programs available.

Also, be sure the people you are considering to start your business with have cash expert gifting experience. A Cash Gifting review search will help you be more positive in who you are planning to give one of your most valuable traits, your trust. If you believe that you are helping people that are truly in need, the trust obstacle will be easier to overcome.

These traits are unique in the fact that a person must have all three in order to succeed in the Cash Gifting business. Compassion, motivation and trust are all important separately. However, a person blessed with all three traits will have the power to succeed and the power to change the lives of others and their own for the better.
