The hardest lesson that salespeople have to learn about using social media to market their business is that they cannot sell " at least not in the conventional meaning of the word. Social media marketing is all about pull marketing. And the way you pull your ideal prospect to you is to give them valuable information that they need and can use. In the world of social media marketing, posting the correct information at the appropriate time is absolutely critical to your success.
The first step is to determine who IS your ideal prospect? You may even want to go so far as to sit down and write a paragraph or two about them. This will help you get inside the head of your ideal prospect. What do they need to know? What interests them?
Second Step: Go to Google Trends (http://www.google.com/trends). Check out the buzz for today. Pick a topic.
Once you have identified a topic, you can post something as simple as a brief comment on Facebook or Twitter. For example, Ramona S., one of our coaching club members, went to Google Trends and discovered that the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit was a hot topic that day. She posted a brief comment on her Facebook profile about it and had 10 people write her back requesting more information about it. Of those 10, 3 were real buyer leads!
Having your topic on hand, you can either write an article or blog post. Then create a post on twitter or Facebook that links back to your blog.
Here are a few pointers for crafting a well-written article:
The Headline
The most important part of your article is your headline. Think about how newspapers and magazines use headlines just to get you to pick up the paper and read it. And so it is with your article. You may even want to start noticing headlines that catch your attention and keep them in a file that you can adapt and use for later reference. Be sure to incorporate your keywords so that your article gets found on the search engines. (Bonus Tip: The tabloids that you buy while waiting to check out at the supermarket are absolutely EXPERT at writing attention-getting headlines!)
The Body
The article body is the meat of your content. Be sure to sprinkle your keywords throughout the article so the search engines pick up your article. Pretend you are writing as if you are speaking to a friend. Keep the style conversational. Avoid technical language or a formal, stilted manner. The ideal length is about 400 words or so. Limit paragraphs to just a few sentences and be sure to use bullet point and subheadings. (Another Bonus Tip: You can outsource the transcription to www.elance.com.)
The Resource Box
To close your article, you will want to include a call to action. THIS is where you FINALLY are allowed to pitch your product. However, if you dont offer a compelling reason for them to contact you, they wont! Be sure youve included a link to your website so they are able to contact you and request additional information. Dont go through all the hard work of providing excellent information only to lose them because youve neglected to tell them how to contact you.
Understanding Riders on Mortgage Disability Insurance
|
Jul 6, 2009
by Brandon P. Nadeau
There exist only two mortgage insurance products. Mortgage life insurance pays off your mortgage if you pass on. This kind of insurance can be decreasing term or fixed; your type of mortgage will determine that. There is mortgage disability insurance, which is intended to guarantee that your home loan payment will be made in case you are disabled and unable to work.
But in addition to these plain vanilla variety of mortgage insurance products, homeowners have some choices about the full nature of their policy.
First make sure you understand whether you have picked a partial disability policy, with a predefined bebefit or a residual policy, that has an amount based on current salary.
A home owner could also choose a short term disability benefit whereby the policy would only pay benefits for a shorter, specified length of time, such as two years. If you have retirement funds and planned on early retirement, you may not have to have disability insurance to cover your home loan when you start that income stream.
Besides the types of insurance a homeowner can choose, there are number of optional features, or riders, that can be attached to a policy. They may be: guaranteed renewable policy, non cancelable policy, guaranteed future insurability, inflation protection and waiver of premium.
Inflation Protection
Purchasing this rider will mean that your benefit will go up as inflation goes up. This protects against the disability payments falling way short of the required payments in the future.
Guaranteed Future Insurability
A rider such as this will let the policy holder increase the amount of the policy if the value of the house grows, without having to reapply for the mortgage insurance.
Guaranteed Renewable Policy
As long as premiums continue to be paid, the insurance will be renewable, although premiums may be increased to maintain the same coverage.
Non-Cancelable Policy
A policy that is non cancelable carries a rider that fixes its renewability, and, as long as the premiums are paid, the premiums cannot be raised.
Waiver of Premium
Once you start collecting a benefit, the premiums are no longer due under this rider. This means that when you are disabled, you do not have to keep on paying the premiums on your mortgage disability policy.

by Anthony Barnes
You can earn a lot of money with property investment if you do some legwork in the beginning. People who do their homework and seek the advice of professionals can definitely become rich. People who don't heed this advice may learn through trial and error and that can prove to be an expensive experience! This article provides 5 tips to help you become successful by investing in property. At the bottom of this article are the contact details of one of the premiere companies for property investment.
If you want to dominate property investing, then you must find a skillful buyers agent right away. Such a knowledgeable person in the business will be able to help you zero in on great properties and ensure you only get the best offers for them. A buyers agent will serve as your one-on-one guide when it comes to investment opportunities in the region you're keen on investing in. You will also receive a quality checklist to help you decide on which properties suit your investment objectives. In property investment, buyers agents make the procedures of discovering, settling, and obtaining real estate easier. You may also need a property coach when it comes to locating the best real estate investment.
Such a coach will have extensive knowledge with the processes involved in acquiring investment properties and as such will be a great asset for you to have. A property coach is not only capable of providing acquisition advice, but funding and managing support too. He will also provide tips on how to locate great properties and how to acquire them at the best prices. Select your property coach well so you get nothing but valuable advice.
When it comes to positive geared property, it's all about the potential of the area and the value of the real estate. Leading areas will present development prospects with established transportation and communication setups to reduce any losses. These in-demand areas are often found just outside city borders. Here's a tip: concentrate on the lower segment of the real estate market too; it tends to be a bit more robust than the median market at times. If you want to zero in on the property that offers the best potential return on your investment, then consider these factors.
Also, focus your hard work on only a few areas at a time. This will enable you to really appreciate what real estate is really worth in those regions. Knowing the real estate market in specific regions well means you can probably locate properties at great prices before others uncover them.

If You Want Financial Aid Fill Out a FAFSA
|
Jul 4, 2009
by Max Hargis
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid or otherwise known as FAFSA is acknowledged as a very important procedure for all college goers. It assists in ascertaining the suitability of the student to get any financial aid for their education. The form should be filed in before any financial assistance can be granted, such as loans, work study programs and grants. Various types of information will be collected on the FAFSA. Personal informatidon such as social security number, date of birth, and contact information is required. Expect to answer questions about income, living arrangements, school enrollment, education level and the like. These details will be based on your parents' income, if you are below the age of 21. There is some exclusion to this point, for which it's best if you clarify with a financial aid advisor or check on the website. To complete the questions, you will need a copy of your tax return, or your parents, and possibly bank statements for accounts that accrue interest. Wherever necessary you may choose to make corrections. But it is much better if you are aware of all details and know the correct answers. To this end, ensure that all the details and related documents are ready for you to cross check. Most importantly, make it a point that you submit the application before the deadline, which can differ for your school from that of the Government. It is best to keep a check on this. You can submit your application either via the FAFSA website or can request for an application form and mail it in. If you want to use the website to fill your application, you would be first required to register for an account by creating a login and a password. You will then be given a PIN number which is automatically generated. This PIN can also be requested by mail if you choose so. You have the option of filling in the form at your convenience and you can save whatever information you have filled in and resume any time later. Once the online application is submitted, you receive a confirmation by email as well as a reference number. The information provided on the FAFSA will calculate an estimated family contribution, commonly referred to as EFT. If the EFT is 0, you are not expected to have to pay for a portion of tuition costs. However, if the EFT is above 0 then you are responsible for paying some towards your education. Even if the student is not eligible for state or federal grants the FAFSA should still be completed. This helps to ensure that the student can obtain loans, work study, and apply for scholarships.Once the FAFSA results are declared, the school will contact the student if any further details are required to support the application, such as tax returns copy, W-2, or any other financial or personal details. This procedure is known as verification which is not done for all students. Once this procedure has finished, the student can be granted financial assistance.

Use Internet Marketing To Get To Know Your Customer

Jun 17, 2009
by Wade Henderson
A few years ago we saw the birth of the dot com era, to which we provided tools for detecting and generating demand destined to software and service companies. We want to share here a few things we learned in terms of using Internet Marketing. Customers do not use the internet solely to buy products and services or to interact with companies. Internet is not always used for professional purposes but for fun. People share information about the topics that they are interested in, do research and to have fun. People do not generally believe all features of a product or a service are real when it is the same company which is telling them so. The words and opinions of their friends and family about a product is more powerful than a company's words. Internet marketing should be aware of this and instead of spending a lot of time describing what your product does, have other people talk about them. There is a lot of information you can find over the internet. People cannot always filter but they are seeking the one that tells them something they do not know, something they can use in their lives. Internet marketing can be a tool to providing customers with information about the products that they can use before or when buying. Companies should take their website seriously because they are the portal that potential customers use to know about your company and your product. Internet marketing seeks to rid the customers of the bias they might have about it.Internet marketing strategies are aimed at capturing people's attention, motivating them to read on, or to stay on a little longer, to excite, to provide a high quality service, etc.Customers like to talk about the brands that they like, they create spaces or go to forums even when the companies have not done anything to make that happen. Effective internet marketing is fresh, creative, entertaining, informative and appealing to the customer. When you speak the language of your customers you improve your relationship with them and they can see it in the product you sell or service you provide.Some companies use internet marketing to have people share their ideas about products and services. This strategy promotes openness, communication, and increases your chances to finally understanding what your customer wants and needs.Internet marketing seeks to make your message more appealing to people and catch their attention.

Money Management in Currency Trading

Money Management in Currency Trading (Part I)
by Ahmad Hassam
Many forex traders start trading live before understanding and learning good money management rules. Develop a few good money management rules and practices them on your demo account before starting live trading. Developing your money management rules mean how much of your money, you are willing to risk on one trade. It also means determining how many contracts per trade your risk tolerance allows? The important thing when you start trading is to learn how you can improve your investment results by making small changes and tweaks to your trading strategies. Good money management rules can make a huge difference between becoming a successful investor in the long run or an unsuccessful one that blows up the account in a few weeks. Have you ever played poker or watched it being played online or on TV! If you have then you will never see good poker players play all their cards on a single bet. Good poker players know that by risking only a small amount of their money on a single bet, they can win or lose but will still play the next hand. If they put everything on the table on a single bet, they will have to be 100% sure of winning, an impossible thing. You can never be 100% sure. Life is the game of probabilities. Forex trading is far more complicated than playing poker. You are dealing with hundreds of unknown variables that affect the markets instead of only 52 cards. To succeed in forex trading, you must understand and implement the money management principles.You can fall into many pitfalls while trading. As a trader you should be constantly guard against two emotions. Greed and fear! In case you are on a winning streak, you will become greedy. You would want to risk more to make one big win and you would want to strike it rich in one or two big trades. This will make you risk more and more of your money on a single big trade. When you will lose a trade, you will become afraid risking your money on the next trade. Fear will take over. It will impair your decision making. It will make you lose confidence in your judgment and decision making. Lets see how fear and greed can affect your trading.Lets suppose you have a run of successful trades that makes you very happy. You are feeling overconfident. You are not satisfied on risking only 2% of your account on one single trade and you want to risk more on the trade. You are thinking, the more you have in a trade, the more you will make if you are right. You are willing to increase your risk to 5%. You increase it to 5% and you win. You increase it further to 10% and you once again win. You finally decide to put 25% of your account at risk on the next big trade, but misfortune strikes all of a sudden. Your successful run comes to an end and you lose big.Suppose you had a $100,000 trading account and you had foolishly risked 25% or $25,000 on one trade that you desperately wanted to win. Losing $25,000 means you have only $75,000 in your account now after your loss. How much you need to make to get back the original balance of $100,000; you need to make $25,000 again to go back to the original balance. It means you will have to make 25,000/75,000= 33%, so you risked 25% but now you will need to make 33% to get back your original amount.Many investors once they lose a trade try to risk more to recover their original loss, ending up losing more and more. Very soon those investors destroy their accounts and are out of trading forever. There are other investors who try to reduce risk even further on making a loss; eventually they divorce themselves from any opportunity for meaningful growth in their accounts.

Ever Wondered What eBay Really Is?
|
eBay
So what is eBay anyway? You probably already have some idea of what eBay is, but let me elaborate a little further.An easy way to look at eBay is to imagine a worldwide newspaper full of classified ads. This worldwide classified ad section has products and services for sale. Or imagine a huge bulletin board that millions of people can see and put their ads on. Of course, eBay charges sellers to put an ad on their website, but the exposure to the millions of worldwide buyers is worth it.Also, anyone can put almost anything for sale on eBay. News stories abound about the ridiculous and bizarre actions on eBay. One notable example is the grilled cheese sandwich with the (supposed) image of the Virgin Mary that sold for $28,000.However, not every seller is "out to lunch." With over 276 million users on eBay, there will be some oddballs, but the majority are average hard-working people just like you or I.These millions of users are part of the eBay "community." When you have registered on eBay, you'll deal with other users directly. Any purchase you make are between you and the other seller. All transactions happen one-on-one, just like it would in a marketplace in a town square. eBay is just the venue where the buyers and sellers meet. One on one, they haggle over the price and then complete the transaction.When you start out on eBay, you might feel overwhelmed. Don't worry, it gets easier. At first, without any experience or training, it can be a little tricky to get your ad noticed among the 3.6 million other items added every day. But in time, you too can learn the tricks of the trade to sell and make a nice profit selling on eBay.The key is to find someone who has already been there and ask if they can show you the ropes. Find a seller who has been selling on eBay for many months or years. Look at their feedback and see if they are providing a good customer experience.Also, you could look for an Education Specialist trained by eBay. These people have graduated from a course to be able to teach beginning sellers how to get started on eBay. They know how to teach you, and they want to help.It doesn't matter whether you're young or old. The great thing about eBay is that anyone can get started no matter who what their level of experience. You can get started even if you know nothing about computers or e-commerce. Everyone starts at the same place, with 0 feedback and no experience. You can learn how to sell on eBay. With time and experience, you'll become a successful eBay seller.

Efaxing A Competitive Tool For Your Business

Solar Lights: The Newest Tech That Saves You Money
by Phineas Duru
Solar lights are the wave of our illuminating future. While we have used the energy of sunlight for eons, we have only recently been able to efficiently harness and manage this power. Solar lights are a step in lighting our journey toward a more Earth-friendly tomorrow.Not only is solar lighting versatile, but it is a green way to light your home too. Sunlight is not only sustainable and renewable energy, but we get the energy needed without polluting the our enviroment. We benefit from the sun and can light the outdoors and even the indoors without increasing global warming.It's a good idea to take a look at how solar lights actually work. The light fixtures actually have a little solar power on top of them. They are a lot like the panels you see on roof tops for homes, but much smaller. During the time that the sun is out, the panel collects energy from the sun, which is transferred to a battery that can be recharged again and again. When the sun is out, the battery charges up and retains the power for later use, and then when it gets dark, that energy is taken and used on the LED light, which provides light through the dark hours.For the most part, solar lights are used for backyards, pool lights, lights around doors, and for lighting up the gardens as well. You can find very many types of solar lights, and some of them are merely functional, while others are beautiful and decorative in nature. Solar lights can be hung from trees, put up on buildings, or even mounted on posts to provide even more light. Various lantern style lights are available, and they can be put near the ground to help you safely walk down a sidewalk or path. There are even floating lights available, which look great on pools or in ponds, and add a bit of decorative charm.Installation of solar lights is as easy as A B C. There are no trenches to dig for the lights and no complicated wiring to deal with either. It's very simple to press these lights into the ground or to hang them up somewhere. These lights are very independent from each other, and only need to be placed in an area where they get plenty of sunlight.The LEDs that are in these solar lights last much longer than regular light bulbs. They don't take much power either. They Usually will actually last for decades and you shouldn't have to replace them. Of course they are a little bit dimmer than other bulbs, which is why many manufacturers put in reflective surfaces, which makes them appear to be brighter.Solar light fixtures can cost different prices. Some at boutiques may be more expensive, while better deals are often found at home improvement stores. In spite of what you may pay for these solar lights, you will find that they don't cost anything to use them, since the sun come to us super free. You probably will notice that your power bill goes down if you have replaced other lights with new solar lights.The advantages of solar lights are many. Even short, gray, winter days hold enough sunlight to fully charge the battery for night use. As long as the sun continues to rise and set the lights will turn on and off automatically. The LED produces no heat ensuring safety around children and pets. During a power outage you may sit outside and read a book or play cards with your neighbors. Solar lights are clearly a benefit to our planet and its the neighborly thing to do!

What is a 'Secured Credit Card'?
|
Jun 14, 2009
Secured Credit Card
If you have a poor credit rating, for whatever reason, you are likely find it difficult to obtain a credit card. That's where secure credit cards come in.A cash collateral deposit is a requirement for secure credit cards. Where the provider permits you a spend of up to a certain limit of their funds per month, secured credit cards need you to deposit some of the money individually, unlike a traditional credit account. Confused? Don't be - here's how it works.Under a secure credit card arrangement, the debtor - that's you - places funds on deposit with the bank or financial institution providing the card.The lender then allows you to make credit card purchases, up to a value of 90%-150% of the amount you've placed on deposit. That percentage depends upon your individual circumstances and your arrangement with the bank. For example, if you're arrangement allows 120% credit, and you have placed 500 on deposit, you have access to 600 on your credit card.As secure credit cards are normally the only available choice to consumers with a poor history of credit, they're often also the only option for those who are new to credit, such as teenagers and university students. Without a credit history, banks are often nervous about lengthening even minor credit facilities to those consumers.Thus, the purpose that secure credit cards serve is to enable people with poor or non-existent credit histories to use a credit card, and establish a fresh pattern of repayment and spending habits. Meanwhile, the bank feels that the risk of taking on a poor-credit customer is balanced out, as they have a cash deposit they have on file, which can be tapped into to repay the credit card debt if necessary.Usually, that cash deposit must not to be withdrawn while you have a secured credit card account. You will earn interest on the account - generally, the interest rate is on-par with what you would earn on an ordinary savings account with your bank - but you'll need to speak with your lender about specific rules regarding adding and withdrawing from the savings account. You should also ask how long your money is required to remain on deposit once you close the account, as some lenders may elect to hold the deposit for an extra month or two, to cover any late transactions and charges.There are plenty of lenders on the market who are willing to offer secure credit cards, but it absolutely pays to shop around. Fees, charges and restrictions vary drastically, including application fees, interest rates, mandatory card insurance costs and annual fees, so remember to read the fine print.
Understand the Impact of Personal Bankruptcy
|
Personal Bankruptcy
While many do not know this prior to making their decision to file for bankruptcy, a discharged bankruptcy comes with serious consequences in both your personal and professional life.For a lot of people with a lot of debt, personal bankruptcy might seem like a popular option, particularly when debt and credit collectors are calling and making harassing remarks. While bankruptcy might promise to be an easy fix to the calls and sleepless nights, you should never hurry into bankruptcy. Although it can end the calls, it frequently proves to be the biggest mistake that prior bankrupt borrowers ever make.Personal bankruptcy comes with serious consequences, both to your personal and financial life. Here are some of them:Bankruptcy poses a great risk to your current assets. Once a person declares bankruptcy your entire current asset holding (including your property, shares and everything you own that has a value) is at a risk of being sold to the creditors. While current assets are obviously at risk, a lot of people do not realize that future assets such as inheritance money can also be subject to claims by creditors.Besides putting current and future assets at risk, the impact of personal bankruptcy includes a damaging credit report that will affect any intentions of becoming a company director or obtain any non-personal credit for the rest of your life.Perhaps the worst impact of personal bankruptcy comes after the bankruptcy order is advertised locally. This damages the reputation of an individual's name and personal business dealings. Unlike companies, individual debtors cannot trade under a different name. So for the debtor who has declared bankruptcy in the past, all of this information is available in the public domain.A bankrupt also cannot hold any direct or indirect position in the management of a company. He cannot take the seat of a Counselor, Magistrate, MP or an Estate Agent. He cannot serve as a school or a college governor. People who have declared bankruptcy also cannot seek employment in security firms and civil services. Personal bankruptcy also affects the debtor's reputation. The entire procedure of declaring bankruptcy is very stressful. At times, the financial affairs as well as the conduct of the debtor are examined in open courts thus proving to be a humiliating affair for the debtor. On top of all of this, a personal bankruptcy will have even more of a financial impact given the court costs and processing fees that come with filing. If you are considering bankruptcy as a debt clearance option, then try gaining some knowledge about other alternatives. For more information on the impact of personal bankruptcy and its alternatives refer to e-books and manuals available on the net.

Home Mortgage Basics
by William Sanford
Many formulas exist to define an acceptable ratio of debt to income. But these change such a lot that many have little meaning. For example, some economic gurus feel that a family may comfortably allocate 30 percent of gross income to pay for shelter. This is for mortgage payments or hire. However, this formula might not be feasible for the very poor therefore, are regularly too imprecise. The whole problem of debt control is better considered on a private level.Some debt could be acceptable, but this demands discernment and careful management. As an example, most people cannot purchase a home without taking on debt. It is unrealistic to believe that a family must live in leased accommodations until they have saved enough cash to go out and pay money for a house. It will probably never happen. Rather, the family may feel the money they are paying to rent can be channeled into clearing a mortgage on a house. Even Though this plan will take many years, they realize that it is more practical.It is important to evaluate the cost and benefit of the debt. If your home debt can offer you benefit such as a place to live, or an investment that has a higher return than the mortgage then it is potentially a wise debt to hold.For families wanting to have their own homes, it's the current trend for them to appreciate provisions from financial institutions that are providing home owning assistance. Likely, the recounted procedures involve paying for home mortgage based on the agreed payment program. It might be noted that deferred mortgage programs require the payment of certain amounts of interest that should cover the time extension given to the homeowners for them to be ready to enjoy their own places of stay whilst paying for them in a deferred demeanor. The most important step is to make sure you can afford the home you plan to purchase. As we have seen recently, it is easy to bite off more than you can chew. When you buy, do your homework and plan for the best and worst financial scenarios.
Internet Businesses

Internet Businesses
by Owen Jones
Recent market surveys indicate that the growth rate of Internet purchases has been incredibly high over the last few years, and despite the conditions of the actual world financial crisis that made the online orders register a corresponding decrease, things still look pretty bright for the Internet. However, from this perspective, people who promote a service or product as part of an Internet business have lots of things to do before they can see the money rolling in.E-retailing is still a profitable Internet business, but heavy promotional support is generally necessary to face competition and generate profit. Behind the comprehensive online web catalogues that advertise us all sorts of things, there lies a huge amount of work to support not only the web page as such, but to run continual market analysis and have a realistic picture of where the business stands on the e-market. A pertinent example here would be that of analysing the first-page search results on engines like Google and Yahoo.The Internet business with the highest likelihood to complete a transaction is the one that appears first when a searcher types a keyword in the search box of the search engine. Consequently, the big competition between the various companies active online is to have a good page rank and a proper representation in the search engines. This can only be done by the professional support of the web site and constant monitoring of the site statistics, according to the number of site visitors and the resulting transactions.So, just like as real-world money-making opportunities, an Internet business needs thoughtful planning. Thus, one targets the niche market, gathers data on the competition, ensures good resources, attracts finances and funds, if necessary and takes the measures that build customers' loyalty. Moreover, depending on the sort of product or service offered, the Internet business could require a strategic alliance with other partners.Therefore, for every Internet business idea you get, you have to learn whether there is a market to address. Then, if you lack the budget to invest, you have to seek other financing opportunities to support you entrepreneurial aspirations. And last but not least, you should never neglect web site investment. The design and full-time maintenance that keeps your Internet business running could easily cost you a small monthly mint. Nevertheless, the website is your interface, the place where the customer gets to see your product or service, and the impression has to be good. Good luck!

Debt Management Without Bankruptcy

Debt Management Without Bankruptcy
by Chris Blanchet
Obtaining a bankruptcy discharge is well-known to be an easy process. For most debtors, the appeal of bankruptcy blinds them to the negative fallout of bankruptcy, not the least of which includes a bad credit score, difficulty finding new work, higher insurance premiums, and the fact that the public record of the bankruptcy is available for all to see. In most cases, all a debtor needs to do is devise a repayment plan by increasing income or, more likely, finding ways to reduce expenses.In order to stay one step ahead of your finances and maintaining a debt-free lifestyle (once you achieve this), you will need to be creative in finding ways to reduce debt. Creditors only lend to you because they expect to be repaid, rather than not seeing a single cent through bankruptcy. With this in mind, some creditors might be willing to negotiate a reduced principal repayment. However, many others will not and if this is the case you will need to make some short-term sacrifices in order to repay the debt and get ahead.Since so many people aren't aware of where their cash goes on a monthly basis (this is one reason why debt may seem unmanageable), many don't even bother to think of creative ways to reduce expenses and this is what could lead to long-term regret when bankruptcy is the only alternative rather than one of many alternatives. Here are some ideas for reducing such expenses:-Stop using credit cards. Use a debit card instead. -Sit down and plan a budget for all expenses. There are many options available, but the point is to stick to it! -Save. Don't rely on loans to bail you out each time you need to buy something other than groceries. -If you need to borrow, borrow from family and friends who typically offer interest-free loans and no formal repayment requirements. -Instead of eating out, prepare your own meals. This can be fun and even romantic, thereby killing two birds with one stone. -Look for sales and bargains instead of going for high-cost name brands. -Don't change your lifestyle too much in one go. Introduce one change at a time if you are able to do so. -If you pay your family's expenses, you need to involve them in cost cutting measures. -Take stock of essential and non essential spending. Food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education are essential expenses. If you don't need a second car, a second home, or multiple credit cards consider getting rid of them. Use any profit to repay unsecured debt. -If your income does not cover all expenses, consider taking a second, part-time job until you are able to come out ahead again.By avoiding bankruptcy, you will avoid the heartache and delayed regret that normally stems from a discharge. Although a repayment plan does not provide immediate relief from debt, there are many techniques and software available to help you improve cash flow and repay debt.

Just to start I will say that this does not happen every time but you might be surprised how often it does once you start building the system that allows it to happen. You first have to know how to find a good deal, I will assume for this articles sake that you already know how to do this and then you need to get an auto responder set up online. The auto responder is a system that allows you to collect emails and send a message to them all very easily.
Once you set this up you can start collecting emails, (this is a general overview not step by step) of buyers in your general area that may want to buy your deals.
Once set up, you have the ability to press a send button and contact all your buyers at once with a deal that you find. I have done this many times. I have spent 5 min finding a deal, 5 min making the offers and 5 min sending the email for a total of 15 min invested.
With in 2 minutes of me hitting the send button I was faxing a contract to my buyer. So that process took about 5 minutes also. In total I bought and sold the deal in 15 min. I ended up making 5k on a quick wholesale flip and it only took me 5 minutes total to do the work.
So to sum up what you do to buy and sell a house in 15 minutes first you get an auto responder set up, then find a deal and shoot an email out to your buyers list with all the details such as pictures, square footage, bedrooms and baths etc... If you have spent time building a huge buyers list then you will be surprised how fast you the whole process will take place. You also will become a believer that you can buy and sell a house in 15 min or less. For a more step by step guide to doing this please see the resource section of this article.

10 Top Tips to Get an Interview While at a Job Fair

Apr 3, 2009
There is more competition in the job market than there was a few years ago, so it pays to get out there. Attending a job fair beats sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring. If nothing else, it's a place to schmooze and find out what's happening. Your approach to the fair may make a huge difference in whether you achieve satisfactory results.Joe was notified that he would be laid off at the end of the week. He did not waste any time finding ways to make connections with others. Joe had heard about a local job fair, and decided that would be his next step. Joe felt certain that today was the day he was going to find a job! When he arrived at the job fair he was not so certain anymore, once he realized how many people were there for the same reason. He was not prepared for what he encountered. As he made his way through the crowded aisles, he ran into people he had not seen for a while. Joe was very confused about what he was supposed to do next. Once Joe's friends explained what he "needed" to "master" job fairs he felt at ease.
Top 10 Tips:
1. Find out who is attending the job fair and which booths you want visit. Don't try to visit everyone, just focus on those that interest you.
2. You can view job openings using a listing sheet located inside the fair. Another way would be to use a computer to check openings if one is available.
3. Find the map of the floor plan - located where you check-in. Decide what is the best way to get to each company you want to visit.
4. Be positive and cheerful. Show up with an "I can" attitude; let them see that you are enthusiastic. It is important to show you are interested in the company, and want to hear what they have to say.
5. Find out who is doing the hiring and try to talk to that person. There are different departments within the company that can give you information about the company, but your goal is to talk to the person doing the hiring.
6. Explain to the people who are talking with you that you have certain skills, which they might find useful. Sell yourself - know what you are going to say before you show-up -- limit these explanations to no more then two minutes. You need to make them remember you, engage them with your uniqueness.
7. Collect businesses cards from people you talk with so that you can call to check the status of the position.
8. Follow up by sending a letter and another copy of your resume to human resources and the hiring manager. Mention that you talked with them, or a company representative, at the fair. Tell them how excited you are about the position. Let them know you are the solution to their problem -- you can make a difference and add value.
9. Let them know you are still interested, give them a call to follow up on the position about a week after you send your follow up resume.
10. Job fairs are a great way to find a job. You can do further research on the companies that you did not visit at the job fair. If you did not make it by their booth, check out their Web site to see if they have job openings that you might be interested in. Try not to be overwhelmed by the size of the job fair or the number of job seekers in attendance. Keep focused on the companies you want to interview with. Don't be discouraged if you don't go home with a job offer or formal interview lined up. This should be just one step in your research and networking process.Consider any new contacts you meet or information gathered at the job fair as a positive addition to your resources. Be persistent in your endeavors -- job opportunities sometimes come from the least expected sources at the most unexpected times.
