IRS Stimulus Tips

By Anne Durrell

With concerns regarding the deepening recession, the housing mortgage crisis and the slowing economy, the IRS Stimulus payments are the government's attempt to try and inject some spending back into the economy and a little confidence into the tax payers at the same time.

The IRS stimulus checks were sent to tax payers with the order to go out as well as spend this few windfall immediately to help stimulate the financial system. In effect, the total amount of the IRS stimulus checks are actually calculated based on the total amount each tax payer earned during the prior financial year.

The biggest question most tax payers asked regarding the irs stimulus payments was how best to spend it to really help the country avoid the deepening recession.

Even though many experts seemed to think that going out and purchasing things in malls or stores would be a good way to inject much needed cash flow into small business, but in reality it is a little different.

Because of high personal debt levels and insufficient personal cash flow, those once only purchases paid for by the IRS stimulus checks simply are not good enough to begin to mend the much deeper inherent financial problems.

Probably the most effective thing any tax payer can do to inject the financial system as well as help themselves at the same time is to try and use the IRS stimulus payment to decrease their own levels of personal debt.

By using the IRS Stimulus check to lessen your own level of personal debt can help you as well as help the financial system by decreasing your monthly repayment obligations that gives you more cash left over at the end of the month.

This has longer reaching effects for the economy if more tax payers have more available income each month for the longer term, which in turn creates more spending that lasts longer than just that single purchase the government advised.

Work-at-Home Ideas For Your Business

By Jaipi Sixbear

There is a growing interest today in work-at-home situations. Whether you are self employed or otherwise, there are many options to consider. Working at home saves gas and commute stress. It allows people with small children an alternative to day care. Flexibility in scheduling activities and other interests is another consideration. Whatever your situation, I am confident there is an opportunity to suit your needs.

Here are some ideas for people like you and I who prefer to work at home. Most of them do not require any special skill or formal education and many can be started for very little or no cost. All you need is ambition and a little drive to succeed and you will be well on your way.

Newsletter - Pick a pet subject, hobby or interest as a guideline for the type of stories you would like in your paper. Make up a mock paper or first issue to show potential advertisers.

Make sure your advertisers fit the profile of the newsletter. You don't want ads for a hunting shop in a vegetarian newsletter. The advertising pays for the paper and if you are lucky a little profit goes in your pocket as well.

Memory albums - These are a growing trend and not everyone has the time or talent to put them together. Show sample pages to potential clients. You charge for supplies and labor, the labor being your cut.

Party planner- Your clients can choose a pre-packaged [party in a box or you can offer full service from start to finish. Once again you charge for supplies and labor.

Junk removal or garage cleaning- If you own a truck or trailer this can be quite lucrative. One mans' trash is another mans' treasure and some of that trash you haul may be recyclable for cash.

Event photography- If you are handy with a camera you can take photos or videos of special events. Start with friends and family and as word of mouth passes your business grows.

Plant maintenance- Many people love plants but don't have the time or expertise to take care of them. If you have a green thumb this could be your niche.

Aquarium maintenance- If it turns your stomach to see algae overtaking your neighbor's fish tank this is the job for you. Check with doctor's offices etc. to expand your list of clients.

Mail order- find a product to market and send through the mail. If you don't have space to store products there are companies who do the storage and mailing for you. This is called drop shipping.

Seamstress/Alterations - If you are handy with a needle and thread consider this one. Dry cleaners charge a fortune for this service. Could you use a piece of that fortune?

Pond or water fountain construction- This is a fast growing need as more and more people desire the peaceful soothing sounds of a water feature on their property. Many home and garden stores offer free classes on building these to promote the use of their products.

These are just a few ideas for starting a business working from home. Many more are out there waiting for you. If you don't have a lot of money, start small and expand as you go. Good luck to you!

The Like Kind Exchange - What Is It?

By Anne Durrell

The Like Kind Exchange is a provisional portion of the US Tax code that is used a lot by larger business. Simply put what it allows you to do is to take one business or asset and sell it and buy another or exchange it for another that is similar without having to pay the tax consequences or liability of the sale of the first business or asset.

The Like Kind Exchange is also known as an exchange, because 1031 is the number of the provision in the tax code that allows it. Money can also be postponed when there is the Like Kind exchange that follows a sale.

The basic idea behind the like kind exchange is that there was no financial gain if you simply change your business or assets to another of the same type or style and you are simply exchanging one for another, in essence.

A good example here would be if you own one building, sell it, and purchase another one from the money from the sale.

There are a number of things to remember. Any new asset that is purchased or received must be similar to that which was sold.

You must also turn around and purchase the new asset or property within 180 days from the sale of the first asset or property to take advantage of the Like Kind Exchange tax benefit.

The term is quite flexible in the definition of the IRS tax code, and it said that to be considered the Like Kind Exchange and we quote the code here, where it said that "the nature of the character of the property and not to its grade or quality."

It is a major reason that large enterprises enjoy the Like Kind Exchange. It allows them a method to circumvent the payment of certain amounts of tax by the postponement of the line, creating a sort of tax shelter program so that you can work more or less to cope with your own.

Although there are many more details, too many to cover here in a small space, if you are in business, you may want to consider asking your professional tax about the benefits granted under the provision the Like Kind Exchange and see if anything is beneficial for you from tax.

Before You Can Make Money Online, You Need To Do This

By Daniel Stevens

You have heard the stories of people making an incredible amount of money online. Sometimes its a little hard to believe. But the stories are true.

When you investigated further, you were amazed to discover these were not the online versions of Donald Trump. Usually, these folks whore pulling in all this cash are just regular people. People just like you and me. Average folks.

Then it hits you " you can do this too. You can make money online too. And all you have to do is create a simple ebook and start selling it on Clickbank.

So far so good. But here is where the wheels come off the money-making bus for most people

Because you hear so much about making money with ebooks, aspiring online marketers often start working on their ebooks immediately. Eventually they finish the ebook, create a sales page and start driving traffic to their site " at which point they get an unpleasant surprise

No one wants to buy the product. And so they do not make a dime. Worse yet, all the time and money already poured into the venture are completely wasted.

So how do you avoid this nightmare scenario? Its simple, really. All you have to do is find out what your market wants and then give it to them. (As opposed to guessing what they want and then writing an ebook no one wants to read!)

Here is the secret to finding out what people want: Simply find out what they are ALREADY buying!

You see, you do not need to reinvent the wheel. You should not guess. And you should not try to force products on people that you think they need (because if they do not also want these products, youll go broke trying to convince people to buy them).

Here is how to find out what people are already buying in three easy steps:

Step 1: Go to Clickbank.com and view the marketplace. Either browse the categories or use their search function to search for niche products. Those products at the top of the search results and categories are the bestsellers.

Step 2: Visit Amazon.com. Next, go to Amazon and run a search for your market keywords (like copywriting or making candles). Those books appearing at the top of the search results are the most popular products in the niche.

Step 3: Run a quick search in Google. Finally, enter those same keywords into Google and see what pops up in the regular search results as well as the sponsored results. What are the top sites in your niche selling?

Once you complete these three simple steps, youll know exactly what your market is already buying. And then all you have to do is make a similar " but better " product! You do that by studying the competition, finding the flaws in their products, and making sure your product does not include those same flaws.

TIP: You find out a products flaws simply by reading and using the product for yourself. But you can also search online for product reviews (check Amazon for starters). If you see customers repeatedly mentioning a weakness of the product, then youll instantly know how to create a better product.

What's Good in Affiliate Marketing

By Danny Hansen

When you first start out in affiliate marketing, the website traffic and sales just aren't up to par. If you're spending your time trying to promote digital products like e Books, you'll end up with a lower monthly income due to the lower cost in these products.

Just go out on the Internet and look at the prices you see. Each one of them usually ranges from $10-100. If you're getting a healthy 20% commission, you're only making $20 a sale. If you plan on making a healthy income each week, you need to sell anywhere from 25-50. Is that really feasible? Well, not if you have a new website where traffic is low.

On the other hand, you can make all kinds of money by selling products that are low cost; this is where you need to be an expert affiliate marketer. You will use your knowledge to run and promote and have higher profits. The only thing you have to do is choose a hot product and see its price running. Having 100 sales a month has a big difference than having 5 to 20. If you want to be a small affiliate marketer, you must pass the products with low price.

The idea is to find as many hot products available with a good commission rate. You probably can figure out the math for yourself, but if you have something worth $500 and you're making only 10 sales a month, you're adding an extra $1,000 a month on a 20% commission. Just keep in mind that it takes a little more work to sell those higher priced products.

There many ways available but you can start with free reports, newsletters and other methods that are quite similar. When you do these things, you must be suggestive in your words so that you can push your costumers to a whole new level. But you must do it without being a sales pitch or else they will go. To do this, we suggest using an auto responder which is set up in your free gift. You can Develop certain relationship with your costumer this way. Once you have a certain amount of costumers, you can start your ad campaign.

According to studies, using these methods will allow you to make more traffic in your website. You may also want to have some discounts so that your clients may feel that you are helping them. This will also result in more traffic and sales. Most merchant who sell low priced products will not use money back guarantee, you should the big picture behind it. this is one of the reasons why you will not have high sales.

Then again, you can come across some of the low priced products that do offer all the extra services. If you do, these are the kinds you want to take advantage of and sell them while selling higher priced items.

Conclusion, What it comes down to is when you first start out; selling low priced products isn't a wise business decision. The idea is to make as much money as you can and having it come from all different directions. So if you find a few hot products that are cheap, add them to your site. When they're blended in with higher priced products, your potential prospects will have a choice, which is always a good thing. In the end you'll find yourself with more sales and more money.

Learn Acoustic Guitar DVD: Have Fun While Practicing

By Glenn Henderson

If you clearly know what your ultimate goals are, you can do this yourself. But if you need help in planning out the short and mid term goals to plan your strategy. Consult a teacher whom you trust and believe can help you with this - its worth it believe me.

Of course you will be working on many guitar skills: various guitar techniques, chords, scales, soloing, etc., but don't neglect other skills that are not guitar specific like, ear training (also called aural skills), songwriting, improvising, creativity, reading, music theory, etc.

The way you view yourself (as an artist and not merely someone who owns a guitar and plays it sometimes) is very important to the way you will think about what you are doing musically. The way you see yourself will also effect the results you will get as you are expressing yourself.

Don't compare yourself to others. There is no need to do this anyway. Music should not be a competitive sport among people, only within yourself. Compare yourself only in relation to where you are in your strategy! Are you on your way to reaching your next short term and medium term goal towards your ultimate goals? Are you on schedule, does your strategy need to be revised?

NEVER GIVE UP! Never say can't. Never say I can't. Never say someday. Never say if... If your IQ is higher than room temperature, if you have all of your fingers and if you really want to succeed, you can.

You can undo bad habits you have learned along the way. You can begin the process of undoing bad habits right away, when you begin to acquire the correct understandings, and use the approaches based on them.

So you can barely squeeze in any time at all in a day to practice, huh? There are many of us that share the same dilemma, but by knowing what to practice in those short moments of time you can maximize your effort. For example, if you only have ten minutes in between jobs, or other things you need to do, here is a list of some of the things you can do:

Absolutely spend a good amount of time in practicing reversing that habit. Practice in a new way, where you make sure you do what you weren't doing before. Analyze the essence of that bad habit, extract it from it's musical context, and perhaps make up "auxillary exercises" based on the essence of it. Use all the practice techniques that I teach to effectively begin this process of reversal.

Lifestyle Business Opportunities, As Successful As You Want Them

By Damian Papworth

If you are thinking about your next move in these times of economic turmoil, you have undoubtedly begun to think about your own business. With corporations now in the habit of laying off more employees than they are hiring, it's a wise move to think of how you can protect yourself. Remember: if you are in control of your own fate, you are in the driver's seat of your life. Your own business will succeed based on what you do with it.

There are millions of options available to any individual thinking of starting a business. How can you set up a company that will reflect your ideals, your goals? Perhaps the greatest solution is to start a lifestyle business. A lifestyle business focuses on what you love to do in your free time and making that a key source of your income. Can you imagine loving what you do and getting paid for it? That beautiful scenario can be achieved with a lifestyle business.

One area that just screams independence is outdoor sports. The concept is ideal for a lifestyle business.

Are you a skier who knows a way to make time spent on the slopes more enjoyable? Just think it through: there may be a new type of skis waiting to be produced. If you are not up to the design end, you can join up with someone who is.

Does a day of riding waves at the beach spell happiness for you? Surely, you know how to make surfing more fun, more convenient. The constrictions of a wetsuit are begging for a better design. The same goes for surfboard wax, which could always use new technology and better handling. It may be your next smart business move.

Sports are not the only side of lifestyle businesses. Abstract concepts, different ways of thinking and being, are just as viable.

Have you been able to use meditation to make your life a success? Starting a website devoted to meditation can be your angle. Yoga is another open field. By bringing the most enthusiastic yogis to your site, advertisers will want to get involved.

Lifestyle businesses are often impervious to the ill effects of a recession. Just take the field of fitness. Staying active is both a means for peace of mind and overall health. People want to stay healthy in any economic climate. Why not help them do it?

If you are better in financial fields, there are plenty of lifestyle businesses suited for you as well. The idea of a lifestyle business is supporting a way of life and enjoying it at the same time. If you are a wise investor, you can direct your business from home and stay with your family for all the important moments.

The idea might already be inside your head. Maybe it's time to turn the concept into a reality. Do you need just a few more ideas to make it happen? Doing some research online can supply much of the information you'll need. There are dozens of legitimate opportunities as well. You just might find an example of a business that is in need of a partner or investor with experience and ideas like your own.

An Overview Of Unique Article Wizard

By Linda Jenkins

Unique Article Wizard (UAW) a website where you may submit articles that you have written; that covers the "article" part of the name. Where the factor of uniqueness comes in is that when you submit an article through this service, they will use it to create hundreds of different, unique articles from this single article. This allows you a potentially enormous amount of exposure.

This service will help you to submit articles to 800 directories. All with one click and you do not have to sign up for the directories. You may have unlimited domains, pen names and niches. Here is the way it works. You write an article. The typical suggestion for the number of paragraphs is eight. Then you load your article to Unique Article Wizard.

After you have uploaded your article, Unique Article Wizard will walk you through the process of rewriting each paragraph of your article. They recommend rewriting your article twice; you will then have three versions of every paragraph. They will then take these paragraphs and make thousands of article from them.

This is the secret of Unique Article Wizard's system. They randomly combine the various paragraphs to create many different versions of your article. The end result is multiple versions which are still on topic, are easily read and most importantly, don't look like they were written by software! Your keywords will be there as well, making UAW a great optimization strategy.

After you rewrite all of your paragraphs twice, you can even include back links. By adding these with keyword anchor text you will enable your site to attain higher page rankings. When all the different articles are created UAW submits them all over the web. Your articles will be on thousands of sites. You do not have to do anything. It is your choice whether to have the articles submitted all at one time or just a few every day.

However you do it, the result is that your articles are all over the web. This is what you want for maximum exposure. You may be wondering how long it takes for this to happen. The way this works is on the first day you submit your article to UAW. On that day or the next your article will be checked over by the staff there to see if it compliant with the standards of their site. Then at midnight your articles will start getting submitted.

The articles are submitted to the correct category for your article. This is why not all of the submissions will go through but anywhere from 400 to 550 will make it through, depending on the categories that you select in advance. During the third to the tenth days you will begin to see your articles begin to show up on the directories. Some of them may take longer than this to process the articles. Others may not accept them for assorted reasons.

Usually on the fourth day your articles as well as your site will start to be found by the search engines. By the time this happens you will start having all kinds of back links to your site. The number of back links will increase as your articles begin showing up on more sites. If you should need help there are video as well as written tutorials for every step you use to submit your articles.

Classified Ads Are A Perfect Way To Reach A Large Audience

By Alex Wu

Classified Ads are an excellent way to locate something that you need. Whether you have an item for sale, or are looking for a job, the classified ads are a perfect place to start your search.

Classified ads have been around for many years. This is a means of communication between people who need something, and people who posses it. Without classified ads, our way of life would indeed be different.

The classified ads are a great place to find a job. With out them, many people would have no idea of where to begin. Others would be going from business to business, seeking employment, only to be told, "sorry, but we're not hiring". This would create a great deal of waste. Wasted time, wasted money on gas, and wasted potential. Certainly these classified ads allow people to connect with others who are seeking what they have to offer.

Another fantastic service that is provided by listings in classified ads, is apartments and houses, for rent. Although there are agencies available to provide this service, it can become quite costly, for renters and property owners alike. Unlike these agencies, the classified ads are not expensive, and quite often, they are free. Imagine having to rely upon signs in the windows of houses, in order to rent or find an apartment? Most people would never be able to find what they are looking for.

Many classified ads have a specific section, where people may list items that they will give away freely, for no charge. This not only helps people to find what they need, or get rid of what they do not need, it also helps the environment. Many people will not bother to pay for an ad to get rid of an item, they will simply throw it in the trash. By placing a free add in the classifieds, they have eliminated another item from the landfill, while ensuring that another individual will make use of this item. This is the ultimate in recycling. Two people have been made happy, at no expense to either, or the environment.

Flea markets, garage sales, and yard sales are listed all the time in the classified ads. This is a much better alternative to placing a lot of paper signs all over town. Frequently, these signs are forgotten, and left for months on end, both looking awful, and confusing people as to when the yard sale is. Placing an ad in the classifieds, avoids this mess, and also reaches a much larger audience.

The classified ads are an inexpensive way to buy advertising for your business. Anyone who has ever been self employed will tell you that the cost of advertising is astronomical. Most small businesses would not be able to advertise at all, if not for the classified ads. This is an excellent way to reach many people, for a relatively small amount of money.

Classified ads have been around for many years. Whether newspaper ads, or online ads, they are a very effective way to reach many people. Indeed, the classified ads are an excellent tool, and they are here to stay.

Making Money With Storage Auctions

By Philip Duncan

Working for yourself by buying and selling any type of product is a timeless and age old tradition among the most creative entrepreneurs. The quantity of money you make in this timeless profession is determined by your own creative abilities and ingenuity. One of the most cheapest ways to find things to sell is to buy from storage auctions.

There can be and have been some serious treasures found in storage units. You see, when someone has gotten behind or just stopped paying for their storage unit, the company has the right to sell it and try to regain some of the money they have lost due to non payment. That's where ambitious people just like you can profit by buying low and selling high.

Where can you find these types of auctions? Just about every city and town in the country has at least one storage unit business near you that has this type of auction. These businesses can be found even in some of the smallest towns (and there's less competition). In some of the larger communities, you will find many storage unit businesses having storage auctions regularly where you can go and buy a whole unit for one low price.

You will only be able to take a quick peek into the unit before the auction, as they do not take the time to allow bidders to go through every bin or box. Don't let that deter you from attending and checking it out because even buying one of these units blindly can bring you big profits. There have been some amazing things found in storage units by bidders that won the auctions.

You will want to look in your local phone book or online and find out where your local storage units are located and call to speak with the owner or manager and ask when they will have their next storage auction. This is how you find out where and when the storage auctions are being held. It is recommended that you go to two or three and observe how it is done by others before trying to bid yourself. Once you feel you have the basic idea, you will be ready to start bidding (and winning) storage auctions.

You will want to sort through the items you've won once you have them home so you can determine what is worth reselling and what needs to be thrown away. Once you have sorted through your winnings, you need to make an inventory of what you have. You can use several avenues for selling your items like the newspaper, online auctions and flea markets or swap meets. You never know what you will find and who will pay top dollar for what you have, and the right choice is based on the items you win.

How to Make Money Slow With Google AdSense

By Jack Johns John McDanielson

No website is too big or too small to make money with advertisement programs. Though most big advertisement businesses require high amounts of traffic in order to be considered for their service, Google launched an advertising program that lets any legitimate webmaster or blogger make money online, regardless of the amount of traffic their pages generate.

Google's advertising program is one of the best in the world, and is open to anyone who owns and/or runs a legitimate website that provides valuable content. You make a small amount of money every time someone clicks the advertisement -- this doesn't include your clicks, of course, because you aren't allowed to click the ads yourself.

Some niches and topics pay more than others with AdSense, because Google shows advertisements relevant to the content that you have on your website. For example, writing about debt consolidation will pay more than writing about carpet.

AdSense is one of the most popular methods websites use to make money online. Sign up at AdSense.com.

Unfortunately, tens of thousands of individuals sign up for AdSense every year thinking they will be able to start their own home business with AdSense. Nearly all of these webmasters fail.

Treat AdSense as a great compliment to your other ways of making money online -- not as your primary source of making money.

Typical conversion rates for AdSense are less than $3 per thousand impressions, meaning a website will need to make at least 33,000 impressions per day before generating $100 per day. Very, very few websites do this.

Of course, affiliate marketing is more more lucrative when it comes to pulling an income from your traffic, with some affiliate sales making literally thousands of times more than average AdSense earnings for that niche.

Advantages of Mechanical Trading Systems

By Ahmad Hassam

Currency traders use different approaches in their trading. Majority of successful traders use self developed mechanical trading systems. There are always advantages and disadvantages of different trading systems. The majority of unsuccessful traders depend on discrete trading method.

Many traders use their own developed trading systems. There are many actively developed trading systems for sale as computer programs also known as Expert Advisors or Robots. Theses robots vary widely in prices. It can be from a few hundred dollars to a few hundred thousand dollars.

The significant advantage of these programs is that they generate signals that can be used by the trader for trading. Sometimes these computer programs are developed for a certain bank or a corporation.

The discrete trading method used by many traders is like an artist trying to adapt to different market conditions and using flexibility and tactics corresponding to the particular market condition.

In case of a discrete trading method, the traders mood and health can greatly affect the outcome of each trade. The main disadvantage of the discrete trading approach is due to the stress factor influencing the trader, the unstable trade results.

A mechanical trading system prevents the trader from quick adjustment of trade tactics and strategies under changing market conditions. However, it almost completely removes the influences of the stress factor. It also reduces the negative pressure on a trader which is obviously a big plus.

It also doesnt allow the quick customization of the trading system in cases like the change of the account size. There are eight requirements that any ideal trading systems should fulfill.

1. It should allow for the maximum adjustment to any traders psychological character.

2. It should be universal and does not depend on a particular market condition at any moment of time.

3. It should be simple and logical. It should depend on understandable ready to use elements and units.

4. The trading system should provide specific price signals for the trader for entry and exit positions some time in advance.

5. The trading system must allow some room for the traders creativity. He/she should have the ability to tweak the system.

6. Without violating its main principles and elements of the trading system, there should be some flexibility to modernize. The trading system should adjust in accordance with the changing market conditions.

7. The trading system should relieve the trader from emotions. It should remove psychological stress in trading and should be ruled based that do not depend on emotions.

8. It should be customizable so that different traders can use the same method.

No one trading system can fulfill all these requirements. Change of market conditions could lead to negative results from a previously effective trading system.

The only way of satisfying these conditions is through developing a diversified trading system consisting of a set of systems that can be used as the basis for specific trade tactics at any given moment. Trade systems based on these requirements could be complex and adjustable.

Make sure you fully understand search engine optimization before making any submissions. This will ensure you get the full benefit of your hard work.

When you're working with article marketing think about the future. Use a email capture page that links to your article or whatever it is you are giving away. A capture page will gather data on prospective buyers for future products. When using a capture page as part of your internet marketing campaign, be sure to use an auto responder program.

An auto responder program will save you time when building email lists. Never do manually what you can automate, you time is much better spent doing other things. There's a huge choice of software you can use when it comes to managing your email marketing campaigns.

Learn as much as you can about SEO and article marketing before you start, that way you will avoid common mistakes and your efforts will be a lot more effective. You're going to have to learn about it anyway, the sooner you do the less time you will waste.

GuardYourPlace Review and Analysis of the Business and Opportunity

By Greg Thompson

This review of Guard Your Place will measure and evaluate the business and opportunity presented by the company based on our research and my opinion with over 15 years in the home-based business industry. Our intent is to attempt to answer some key questions as to whether GuardYourPlace is an opportunity worth pursuing.

Many times the first question people want to know: is Guard Your Place a scam or is it a reliable opportunity? We intend to provide an answer to that question within this review through fact-finding and research.

I prefer to look at certain facts in a typical review to help determine the strength of a company.

1. Product uniqueness

2. Exceptional leadership

3. The actual offer, ie; What is their unique selling proposition?

Experience has shown, this set of criteria will be of great benefit as an aid to determine whether Guard Your Place will be a hit. It seems, after careful research, they are off to a good start. There are some credible testimonials surrounding the service itself. To be clear, the Guard Your Place product is really a service that allows you to visually monitor your home or business remotely from anywhere in the world through a computer or cell phone web browser.

A typical example of homeowner use might be to monitor your property while away at work or vacation, keep a watchful eye on a nanny or babysitter or to make certain your kids arrive safely home at a certain time. A business owner might monitor employees, expensive equipment or product and reduce theft. The system offers the ability to set the camera to detect motion and then send pictures instantly to you via email or text alert.

GuardYourPlace is boasting a fast, easy and affordable solution or alternative to the more expensive traditional security system or video monitoring system, the Guard Your Place system also allows for the use of off-the-shelf components such as a computer, USB camera and cell phone. Chances are, many homes and business will already have the necessary equipment to get this system up and working in just a few minutes time.

In my experience, the service is definitely unique and has a very useful purpose. After all, I sense a great need for safe-guarding your family and property. Now, Lets take a look at leadership. Pierre Charbonneau is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Guard Your Place and was instrumental in the development of the program. A little research shows he is also the Chairman and CEO of EGlobal Partner and is very actively involved with several charitable organizations specifically to aid and help soldiers, policemen and firemen. I visited a couple of noteworthy web sites, onsightsupport.org and stepupforsoldiers.org.

Granger Soward, the President of Guard Your Place, also serves as Deputy Fire Chief for Carolina Beach, NC. I find that he also has been involved in many charities and events. I was able to gain a lot of information through a web search of his name. Apparently, the leadership attitude of Guard Your Place is of a giving nature with a soft spot for those in need. Thus far, we have determined that GuardYourPlace has a specialized product and that the leadership is headed by strong character now, is there a unique selling proposition? The people at Guard Your Place inform me that they offer an affordable service and a home-based business opportunity that is designed for anyone to become involved with. So, the offer is a free trial and a low monthly fee with no contract. Subscribers can then visually monitor there home or business at any time of day. The fee is the same if you decide to market the service yourself and earn residual income. Currently, the monthly premium is set at $19.95 per month.

It appears that the service has tremendous value and is a real bargain considering traditional alternative security and video systems. In addition, GuardYourPlace offers a nice opportunity to earn residual income, I can't think of any other security services offering that currently.

Who Really Needs Debt Management Counseling?

By Tony Russo

It is true that debt management counseling is a great service for getting your debt under control usually when you see the plan through to the end it gets rid of your excessive debt entirely. This may take a few years but it will happen when you stick with it.

Debt management counseling is an easy process to lower your debt; all you have to do is realize that debt has become a problem. Once you realize fully that you have this problem then you either need to pick up the telephone once you have a workable financial plan for getting yourself straightened out and call everyone that you owe money or you can contact for debt management counseling and find someone willing to walk you through the necessary steps.

Debt management counseling can act as the proverbial elixir of life in curing your financial problems. Alternatively, it can become a monumental nightmare if you do not take it seriously. As with most things in life it is important that you take getting out of debt seriously.

Debt counseling will help you to quickly put behind you the stress of trying to manage your excessive bills on your own and will also prove to be an economic blessing for you as well. Professional firms do normally charge a fee for their services which is more than paid for when you more quickly pay off your credit card bills. Credit card interest rates of 15% to 25% easily add many hundreds of dollars to your monthly expenses. The sooner you get your credit cards paid off the sooner you start saving all of the interest on your credit cards.

Debt management counseling is for people who might be in debt and they need help in managing their finances properly. Typically this is not for people facing small debt problems but rather for those that have at least $5,000 in unsecured debt.

Debt management counseling is a way for people to get out of debt without incurring additional debt. It is important to look over the entire picture and make sure that your plan is cost effective. With credit card interest rates at 15 and 20% any debt reduction plan that you can come up with is likely to be cost effective.

Debt management counseling helps you to evaluate the big picture and come up with a workable plan that will save you money.

The most difficult part of any debt management counseling program is actually beginning. The tendency is to put this off as long as possible however that is a critical mistake because compounding interest adds to your debt load every day. It is important to register with a service as quickly as possible so that you have taken at least that first very important step.

A Guide To IRS

By Anne Durrell

No matter who you are, unless of course you are a tax professional, you're likely to find a time during the preparation of your income tax if you need IRS help to continue to work on the forms.

This is probably not because you are stupid; it is more likely that the cause is that the tax code is so complicated that you many times need a legal team to weed out the issues.

I know that sounds absurd, but there are problems, which are all possible answers that if you deal with it on a daily basis the average person needs the IRS help to find the underlying cause of a large number of issues in preparing a tax return.

Getting to them for the answers you need is another story and is entirely dependent upon when you contact them. If it is early in the season then you might get thorough to them fairly quickly and get your answer in an expedient manner.

However, if you are looking for IRS Help bring days of the deadline of April 15 you can be assured that you will have more than the average wait time on hold and you and the agent of the IRS may get frustrated.

IRS Help can be gotten via the Internet in several ways on the website. There are FAQ section answers to many common questions that arise in preparing the forms, you can also email questions of a generalized manner and get the response emailed back if it is not time sensitive.

Keep in mind that the IRS help people are trained to know the answers and can give you the guidelines to resolve the issue. So while the answers are certainly going to be correct, there may be some additional changes that occur that might change the answer from day to day.

IRS help lines are a service that is there for you as a taxpayer 365 days a year, not just during tax season. So, if questions arise throughout the year or if you need to change the tax situation, you can and should certainly give them a call before a question has a chance to escalate into a major problem.

The IRS is a system to help more people benefit from that tax codes in this country to become more involved and less cut and dried.

Take Control And Work From Home

By Daniel Molano

When you work under a boss you have to meet his or her demands. You often have no choice but to comply to even the silliest of whims that he or she has. The logic about working for a boss is that you have to keep them happy so you get your next paycheck. Bosses can say "You're fired!" as easily as they say "You're hired." Sometimes they can make life a living hell for you. You love the moments when he or she says that you can work from home because it almost feels like heaven when you don't have to see your boss' face.

Yes, it is possible to work from home and still earn the salary that you receive as an office worker. You can even earn more depending on how much time you are willing to devote on the job. This is made possible through the Internet where employment became so much easier for those of us who hate going through the rigors of passing a series of interviews and dressing to impress. You can work for a company without having to go to the office. You can even stay in your country but work for a company abroad. One of the best things about working from home is that you may have a boss but he or she can't breathe down your neck, shout at you or make you pick up his or her laundry.

There are a lot of jobs that you can choose from or you can put up a business that operates on-line. You can stop having a boss and be the boss of your own self if you put up a business. To be able to do that, you will need help from experts. A successful business is a well-consulted one. You can do basic research yourself or you can consult from Internet Marketing experts. You will not have to worry because the consultation can be done right at the comfort of your own home. You can do business consultation at home. With the right advice and tips, you can earn more than you are earning right now. Better to start to work from home as soon as possible.

As for how much you can earn, it will depend on how diligent you are. Your working hours will be less compared to the hours you spend in the office. However, if you are lazy you will more likely not get paid. Just like any work, you have to work hard in order to earn much but unlike an office work, you do not have a boss who will berate you for the most minor mistake. Add that to the pleasure you will surely experience if you work from home and you will surely produce the most meaningful outputs ever in your working life.

There are so many things we can wish for but there's only so much we can do. We can wish that we can be successful or we can actually work hard to be one. We can wish for a steak for dinner or we can actually make one. We can wish for our boss to disappear into outer space or we can actually work from home and be in charge of our lives. We need to take action so our wishes will not remain as a wish we will be making for the rest of our lives. We have options and we should choose what is best for ourselves and what could make our wishes come true.

Filters and Humidifiers in Duct Cleaning

By Amy Nutt

Having a clean environment is usually something that is on the top of everyone's list in their lives, as it promotes productivity and provides a certain air of calm in any place of residence or business alike. A clean duct is something that is important for a myriad of reasons. The paramount reason would be health reasons, as a dirty duct can really harm the body with all sorts of bacteria. The implementation of filters and humidifiers in duct cleaning are something that is of the benefit of everyone who desires to have cleaner air to inhale, which happens to be everyone on the planet.

Reasoning Behind a Clean Humidifer There are a myriad of reasons why humidifiers and filters are especially helpful in the realm of duct cleaning, which is something that not many people are not aware of. A lot of the time, these things can be neglected and can really muck up the system, both the duct and the person breathing contaminated air. For instance, a dirty humidifier can be a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and nasty bacteria. It can also add a lot of moisture to the air, something not specifically conducive to health, as it can be quite dangerous if neglected for too long.

A Remedy One of the biggest mistakes a person may make with humidifiers is to not disconnect the power from the appliance after the heating session has completed. After that is done, the water valve should also be shut off, and drain the unit for any lingering moisture that may have been accumulated during the heating process. If these steps are not used to protect themselves for any threats the humidifier, they can expect to have trouble breathing, and even other potentially harmful diagnoses in their futures. And to have these health problems because of negligence is something that simply does not have to happen.

Importance of Filters Filters are something that are quite significant in duct cleaning; they help to improve the quality of air by protecting the inhabitants from a lot of the nasty debris that they may breathe in if it were not in place. Standard forced-air furnace filters work, but it is best to get a compressed media filter, as they are much more dedicated to alleviating the contaminated air problem. Using a pleated paper-like material, they can really get the job done and the people using them can really be protected by much of the dirt from behind inhaled.

Clean air is something that really should be on the top of people's list when they are occupying a space for long periods of time, such as a home. Using humidifiers and filters in duct cleaning is paramount, because it assures that the person is fully protected from the dirt, bacteria, and mildew that can be polluting an area. With efforts in place to combat this, the home or business owner can have the peace of mind that they are fully protected against air-borne pollutants that can wreak havoc on even the strongest of immune systems.

All You Need To Know - Work From Home Assembly

By Bryan Toddmen

Working from home is far from a new thing. There have been many companies as of late that have discovered it is easier and cheaper to pay someone at an off site location to assemble products for them than it is to hire a new employee. There is after all a lot of paperwork involved with doing such a thing. You aren't going to get rich working from home like this, but you will make a good supplemental income.

The majority of the products that you will assemble will be rather small and have a number of guidelines that you will have to follow to the letter. Some might involve knitting, which will be great for those who need something to do with their hands while watching television, but then again it wont be very good for you if you have little to no patience.

When working in home assembly, find a solid company to work for. When are looking at a companies requirements several red flags may appear. A good reputation is the first important part.

Try to find out if other workers have had any complaints and why they aren't working there anymore. Stay away from companies not giving you your money back after you complete lots of items. It is a bad sign if the company asks you to provide the supplies to work at home.

There are many legitimate and good opportunities for work at home assembly that you can look into. One thing that you might be interested is the small commerce items for miniature houses, which seems to be taking off quite nicely. Then there are wood crafts and jewelry which are growing quite nicely.

Don't work for a company that keeps itself shrouded in mystery by never providing any sort of contact information. Nearly all companies that are legit and have a reputation will have a customer service line that you can call. If the company is not legit, then there is a high chance you will never see your money again.

Make sure that you find a company that meets your needs and appears to be legitimate. It is certain that you cant lose a huge deposit that you'll never see again, because in this economy, who can? Make sure that you do some research into each and every company that you are thinking of working for, because there is a high chance that one of them will work out great for you.

If you can work from home, you will greatly benefit the business that you work for. It is a very popular thing these days to build products at home, and thought you wont make as much money as a regular employee, you have to remember that you wont have expenses like gas, or lunch or things like that. Try to think of this as a supplemental income.

Sir, Teach Me How To Make Money

By David Lim

I am currently running a website about home based businesses that I started a few years ago. It is a simple guide to home based businesses. It is basically an informational site and the main revenue is from ads and not from product sales.

Occasionally, I will get an email from someone that wants to know how to make money on the web. Normally, it will have only a single sentence that will go something like this:

"Sir, teach me how to make money."

At first, I would send him a proper reply. I would tell him that making money on the web is not something that you can do just like that, and that hard work and skills are needed. I would enquire about his background and skill sets.

That will be the last I would ever hear from them. After a while, I got the feeling that the sender was looking for something that he could register to, pay the membership fee, do a few simple tasks, and make real good money.

I did remember a nice email from somebody who said he liked my site very much. He said that he liked it so much that he wanted to join my site. I told him that my site only provides and that I do not promote any business opportunities that he could register in.

I studied electronics engineering at a local college for 3 years. I did electronics design for a further 10 years. It is only after this period of time that the industry considered me good and experienced enough to be earning a few thousand dollars a month.

On the Internet, many business opportunities are marketed with claims that a few hundred to a few thousand is attainable in the first month. And the potential income claimed will skyrocket after that. And they will claim that any Tom, Dick and Harry can do it, with no experience and an hour or two a day.

What can I say except, "Use your head."

I mean, if somebody were to offer you a lot of money to do something anybody can do, would you do it? Say you were offered $100 to deliver a parcel to a nearby address. Would you do it?

You will run away like you have never run before right?

You know that he is not going to practically give you $100 and that there is definitely a catch involved. He is probably hoping that you will stick around to find out and he will convince you into doing it.

The Internet might seem somewhat magical since you can't see it, or touch it, or hold it in you hands. But it is as real as the offline world and exactly same rules apply. There is no free lunch on the Internet and the sooner you realize that, and the sooner you will put in the work needed and reap the benefits.

Do You Possess The Characteristics of A True Entrepreneur? Read Below To Find Out.

By Rob Tritt

Someone has to possess a certain group of characteristics if he / she is going to be successful. What are some of those characteristics which are invaluable to a budding entrepreneur?

What exactly is an entrepreneur? According to the definition, an entrepreneur is someone who organizes a business usually with considerable risk and initiative attached to the operation of that business. In keeping with that definition, an entrepreneur is going to be a certain type of person possessing some key characteristics.

1. Intelligent and creative - During the course of the average business day, a certain number of problems will arise which the entrepreneur is going to have to overcome with creative and intelligent solutions.

Decisive - Because of the fast pace of society and the amount of information that everyone has access to, it can become quite overwhelming to make quick business decisions. However, it is very important that the entrepreneur can do that without getting mired in all of the unimportant details.

3. Honest - Obviously, not all entrepreneurs are honest; however, I believe that it is important to want to honestly serve the company's customers, and to do the very best job possible to fulfill their expectations.

4. Risk taker - Most people play it safe and stay with their jobs because of the predictability of it. An entrepreneur needs to be able to operate with a certain level of risk if he / she is going to be successful.

5. Passion and determination - If someone is to become successful, he/she has to have the determination to get past any obstacle which may be encountered. An entrepreneur thinks 24/7 about how he/she is going to be successful, not whether he/she is going to be successful.

Obviously, there are many other characteristics which an entrepreneur will have; however, I believe that if someone possesses just the above, then that should be a good start in order to become successful.

3 Golden Keys to Writing for the Internet

By Anthony James Goolsby

I often see new copywriters, when they complete their training, begin by writing for the Internet. A mistake I see, however, is they fail to keep in mind the key differences between writing for the Internet and writing for print. We will cover some of these differences here, and I promise if you keep these "golden rules" in mind as you write for the Internet, you will achieve much success.

There are three crucial differences between traditional publishing and writing for the Internet:

Audience

Format

Lifespan

It is important to consider each key difference while writing for the internet.

Audience

While audience is always a key consideration for any writer, audience consideration is a primary factor when writing for the Internet. While the basic considerations of audience (who do you expect to be your primary reading audience?) remain the same there are some important differences.

First of all, your audience is somewhat guaranteed in a traditional publication. Most people, once they have bought a magazine or newspaper are likely to at least give each page a cursory read before setting the item aside. Not so online. When writing for the Internet you must always keep in mind your reader can leave as easily as a click of the mouse. People don't have a lot of time to waste so you must remain on target and highly focused at all times. As the writer, if you do not appear to be delivering good content the reader will simply go elsewhere... fast. Please do not take this to mean you must cater to the lowest common denominator; you don't. Your audience is not stupid. But you do need to know your targeted audience and how to deliver for their wants and desires.

Format

Something else to think about when writing on the Internet is to consider the "skimmers"; readers who breeze through your copy without reading the whole thing. So what you have to do is be very clear in your writing. For example, headlines that pack a punch, carefully worded subheadings, and introductions and conclusions that are solid and full of good content.

Trying to mimic traditional magazine articles or offline printed documents is a common mistake that I see in new writers. Actually there are some big differences. Because a reader will read the Internet differently from 'physical pages', like say in a book, writing for the Internet requires some different techniques. The entry point is one of the most important. Did you know that a search engine might send readers to a point somewhere in the middle or end of your document? Now, if you wrote concise and accurate content, readers could very well go back to the beginning of your article to read it properly. There is a way to avoid this altogether though, that will keep the 'skimmers' skimming. Try breaking longer pieces of text into a few stand-alone sections that fit together as a whole document or even separate documents if looked at in the same manner. (This article, broken into individual stand-alone segments, serves as an example.)

Lifespan

Last, but certainly not least, an important difference you must consider when writing for the Internet is what is called "lifespan". On the surface, due to the rapid nature of the Internet, it appears that electronic documents have a limited lifespan. But actually the opposite it true. Whereas a printed publication may only have a lifespan of a week, a month, or worse yet, a day, one thing most publications are doing now is archiving online. The beauty of the Internet is that archives may last for years, if not indefinitely. So as a writer you want to write fresh and current content, try to resist being too topical or you may date your material. Remember, potentially your readers may be accessing your words well into the future.

Keep these three key points -- audience, format, and lifespan -- in mind when writing for the Internet and I promise you will achieve greater writing success.

Wealth Attraction Through Cash Gifting

By Megumi Burr

Giving gifts has been a very fond trend of people, especially on events such as birthdays, reunions, Christmas, etc. But not everyone knows how to earn more money through giving gifts to other people. Yes, it is possible! Just because you are kind enough to give cash gifts to other people, a greater reward is always waiting for you.

This flow has been attributed to the Secret, Source, Energy, God, and many other names for the prosperity available to those who are open. This same openness is integral to the wildly popular Attraction and Manifestation model, which teaches that by aligning our consciousness with gratitude, love and abundance, we can receive anything we desire.

Many people make a practice of intentionally gifting to cultivate this openness to the flow of giving and receiving. In "paying it forward," a person paying for a cup of coffee or a bridge toll pays extra to cover the cost of the coffee or toll of the stranger behind them in line. As a teenager, I would go into the city with my youth group and buy food for homeless people.

When I joined a cash gifting program, it was with this same awareness that prosperity and wealth are attracted by willingness to gift. I found that cash gifting was aligned with my desire to bring more wealth not only to myself, but also to many others. The structure of the program allows me to receive mentorship, and then support others who seek to attract wealth.

This system can also put up a great challenge. For me, how to spend $250, $1500, or even $7500 a week is very challenging, and that is weekly! I solved the challenge by answering a question: What do I do with the money? What is it that I want? Thinking about this question several times helped me decide what to do.

There are also other keys to success, and these are determination and success which is almost necessary in everything. Attention is also necessary for success even with a "passive" system. I am very thankful to my team, who supported, guided, and exerted effort, which has greatly helped me by reducing the effort I had to exert in order to get web presence in the world of cash gifting.

I can say that I am very optimistic and determined to show everyone the way to wealth. I really hope that my strivings are going to be pathways of people to prosperity, and be their new way of income.

Cash gifting is an opportunity to cultivate consciousness that attracts wealth, while providing the vehicle for the cash to arrive.
