Gaming and Entertainment Industry Destroyed by Hurricane Katrina

Filed under: Your Business — admin at 2:47 am on Friday, July 11, 2008

Due to the catastrophic affects of Hurricane Katrina there will be about 3 million people migrating to other cities? Where will they go? New Orleans had 1.3 million people in the surrounding area. There are few homes left, few jobs until relief efforts and rebuilding gets going. There will be need for engineers, heavy equipment operators, construction people, but their families will have no homes and will have to live elsewhere. One major industry and source of jobs was totally wiped out, along with its tax base; the entertainment and gaming industry. But where will these employees go, many have lost everything and their jobs were totally demolished?

Which cities stand to gain people? Well let us look around. Shreveport and Tunica have casinos and will take some of those who worked in that industry and in the entertainment sectors of the Destroyed Gulfport Area and tourist areas of New Orleans. Some may move as far away as Las Vegas, which need labor for their growing gaming sector. Atlantic City is also growing and needs trained gaming workers.

Tunica can take on about 1,000 or so of the employees, Atlantic City for those with funds to move or those who work for a gaming corporation, which had locations in both Gulfport and Atlantic City may find a nice package for a move. Las Vegas the home of the gaming industry always needs people. The LDS and Mormons who had typically worked in casinos are no longer having the ten kids per family that their parents had are now having fewer kids. Fewer people are moving from Salt Lake due to the booming economy there. The Filipinos who also are know as hard working family folks are welcomed by the gaming industry as a reliable source of labor. Due to the growth in Las Vegas the fastest growing city in the Nation, there are more than enough jobs and not only in the gaming industry. Las Vegas is a racially diverse city, it is an all comers area which welcomes all. Many of the poor will go to Houston and all though it does not have a gaming industry, it does need the labor badly. We can soak up the people who have lost everything for their new start. They may need some help with their credit reports, some cash for the move or pre-paid moving monies, but we can make the transition for those willing to pick up the pieces of their life and make a new start. Think on this.

A Quick Look At Internet Fax Services

Filed under: Your Business — admin at 8:51 pm on Tuesday, June 3, 2008

Internet fax services are a way of sending fax messages over the web, just like an email, and that without the aid of fax machines.

Here is a quick look at internet fax services. Internet fax services are a way of sending fax messages over the web, just like an email. It does this without the aid of any fax machines. And more importantly, web faxing is cheap, fast and easy to use, and hence is a big money and time saver.

First, let us see how online fax services work. Once a customer subscribes to an internet fax service, the service provider assigns him/her a unique fax number. This is the address to which other people are supposed to send in their faxes. The subscriber can receive fax messages in the form of an email, for which he/she may have to create an email account with the service provider domain. To an extent, this is quite similar to the normal electronic mail.

In order to send a fax message, what the user has to do is to type the message in the text space of the electronic mail, and press the send button, the mail being addressed to the recipient in the form ‘fax number@service provider’s name’. The sent message then goes to the network based server of the service provider, where it is converted into a suitable file format before eventually forwarding it to the recipient’s mail box or fax machine, whichever is applicable. The latter one is called e-fax, which is a new technology and is a bit more costly as it requires some additional software and hardware component installations.

Some of the online fax service providers offer the services for free, while some others charge a definite fee. If it is a free service, the facilities will be limited, and most companies make such a free offer to entice customers to subscribe for a meaty deal later on. But, even if the fax service is for a fee, still the amount is nominal in many counts, especially given the flexibility and scope of this facility. Further, one does not need any costly equipment to use internet faxing. One can manage to send web faxes with a PC and a fast internet connection.

To sum it up, email faxing is an intermediate technology that bridges the gap between traditional fax machines and web-based communication. It eliminates the complexity and operation cost of the bulkier fax machines meanwhile embracing the quickness, flexibility and low cost aspects of web communication. After all, this is what an average customer wants from technology! Good Luck!

We have tested dozens of internet fax services to find the best one. Find the results only on www.leandernet.com/Internet_fax/Internet_fax.php . Find more internet fax info on www.leandernet.com

The Entrepreneurs’ Dilemma

Filed under: Your Business — admin at 12:02 pm on Monday, June 2, 2008

In business, you plan to protect your inventory, your unique ideas and approach, and your money. It’s easy to replenish inventory, come up with new ideas and make more money. What isn’t renewable is your time. On that premise, time is your most valuable commodity. Business victory requires an appreciation and respect for your own intrinsic value.

The pursuit of success in business takes time, attention, and first and foremost, a plan. A well-crafted business and marketing plan will jog your memory and provide reference points to keep focused and on track. It’s a natural tendency of entrepreneurs to want to be aware of all possible opportunities. In the business world, there are a tremendous number of people seeking business success. They look for validation and support for their ventures. They want You to be a part of their dream. It’s easy to become sidetracked from your purpose by their excitement.

Is that what you want? Do you find that others constantly try to co-opt you into their plans? When the end of the week comes, do you wonder where the time went and what you accomplished, or maybe the week never does end?

The next time someone asks you to go for coffee, to a seminar or the presentation of a new business idea, ask him or her why they want to meet. Ask for more information on the idea, before you dedicate the time to attend. Ask yourself, “What’s in this for me.” . Do you want to be a part of someone else’s master plan or your own?

Where do you want your business to be this time next year? Will you be working for someone else? …..best to decide now and develop a system that will enhance your likelihood of achieving success.

What Does Your Cleaning Business Name Say?

Filed under: Your Business — admin at 4:27 am on Wednesday, May 28, 2008

The name of your cleaning business will be used in all your
advertising. You are the business name. Consider your
competition and the business names they use. How does it
relate to the information you know about them? What about
what you assume about them without even knowing them or the
work they do? What do you look for in your local Yellow
Pages, periodicals or Internet directories when searching
out a business to do work for you? This is how your
potential clients are going to be feeling about your
business name.

Names including maid or housekeeping generally attract
people wanting light cleaning, picking up, and doing the
laundry and the dishes.

If your business name includes cleaning, people who would be
interested in you are not thinking about laundry and dishes
- they’re looking for good, thorough cleaning.

Your business name may include a benefit. If your vision
includes houses or offices that sparkle, you may want to
include it in your business name. You will actually get
inquiry calls and new clients because of it.

Your business name is really important and must not be
changed after you start using it. If you change it and
people recognize that you did, they begin to wonder
immediately why you had to change your business name,
assessing it was for negative reasons.

Make Money Online for Free

Filed under: Your Business — admin at 7:42 pm on Friday, May 23, 2008

Working from home does not always require a fee. Most multi-level business opportunities require you to pay for a business kit, which includes brochures, order forms, company manual, etc, to get you up and running the same day you receive your kit. Making money online with an autosurf company will put you into profit your very first day. Many will even give you free money so that you can begin earning immediately. What this means for you is no out-of-pocket expenses, and the money that you earn online is 100% profit.

How Does It Work?
After you have opened a free account, you will click the “start surfing” button and a new browser will open with a 15 to 30 second timer, and you will view one of the members’ website. As the timer counts down to zero, a new website will be shown. You will continue viewing websites until the minimum number of websites have been viewed.

When you have surfed the required minimum of websites, then you will earn a percentage of the amount that is in your account level, for each day that you surf. Of course, if you do not surf, then you do not earn. There are autosurf companies who will start you out with free money so that you do not have any out-of-pocket expenses. You also have the option to upgrade your account level by adding to the money given to you by the company. This is to your advantage because you will earn more money.

Another way to increase your earnings is to join a company that will compound the money you make on a monthly basis. You will be paid when you have a minimum balance in your account level, or when your auto surfing has expired. There are different expiration dates with each company. Many payouts are sent to your payment processor automatically. Some payouts must be requested during a certain time frame of the month. Each company will list their requirements on their website, along with the payment processors they use such as StormPay, PayPal, eGold, etc.

Other Ways to Make Money
Autosurf companies will reward you each time you refer someone to their company. You will earn a percentage of the money earned by each of your referrals. The more referrals you have, the more money you will earn. You are not limited by the number of people you refer. Even if you do not refer anyone at all, you will still earn a significant income through your own efforts.

If you are affiliated with another company, you will be able to generate free traffic to the programs you would like to promote. When you join, you will have an option of listing your website so that it will be added to the autosurf rotator. Each time you autosurf, you will earn free credits which are used to display your website to other members, each time they autosurf. This will increase your earning power because you have the potential to make more sales and get more referrals to your other programs. To get additional exposure, many companies will allow you to purchase low cost advertising throughout their autosurf website.

Making money online with autosurf companies is the least expensive way to make money. To diversify, I would recommend that you join more than one company to give yourself several streams of income. You could upgrade your new accounts with money that you’ve earned from the first company that you joined. This will keep down your out-of-pocket expenses. If you give it enough time, you will be able to replace your income, and enjoy the freedom of working online from the comfort of your home.

The Truth About Negative Commands (Don’t Read This!)

Filed under: Your Business — admin at 1:07 am on Saturday, April 12, 2008

Everyday when I read promotional emails and advertisements, or listen to television commercials and dialogue in shows and movies, or hear people around me in everyday life use commands such as the following examples, I feel dismayed for them.

This is because I understand something that many others do NOT!

And, since learning what I now understand, while I am BOMBARDED every day from all directions with commands like those listed below, in all their variations, I feel worse and worse for not speaking up!

I feel especially badly for all those advertisers out there who are ignorant about this, because I also realize they are often sincerely excited about what they are sharing and are working very hard to attract the attention of others.

Examples:

- Don’t miss this [fill in the blank]!

- Don’t delay!

- Don’t forget to be there!

- Don’t forget to stop and buy milk [or pick up the dry cleaning — fill in the blank]!

- Do not forget to be on time!

- You can’t miss out on this opportunity!

- Don’t be afraid to ASK!

- Would you like to [fill in the blank]? If so, don’t wait another minute! Order Your [fill in the blank] NOW!

- Don’t Live With Depression [fill in the blank]

And so on…

This is because your subconscious mind works in strange ways. I learned this while training to become a hypnotherapist.

*********

FACT: Your subconscious mind cannot recognize a negative!

*********

As a result, when a person reads or hears statements similar to the above, their subconscious mind actually understands the command as follows.

Examples:

- Miss this [fill in the blank]!

- Delay!

- Forget to be there!

- Forget to stop and buy milk [or pick up the dry cleaning — fill in the blank]!

- Forget to be on time!

- Miss out on this opportunity!

- Be afraid to ASK!

- Would you like to [fill in the blank]? If so, WAIT another minute! Order Your [fill in the blank] NOW! (In this case, you might think it’s okay because the negative statement is followed by a positive request for action… but keep reading, you’ll see how it can be improved!)

- Live With Depression [or, fill in the blank]

Whenever I have tried to explain this to those who use this type of command in their advertising or their everyday language, they ALWAYS say, “I’m trying to create a sense of URGENCY.”

But research is absolute on this…

The subconscious mind CANNOT recognize a negative command.

And so, anytime you use a statement that includes a negative command, you are actually giving the OPPOSITE command for the action or results you desire!

This is also why using only positive language in personal growth affirmations and in hypnosis — whether self-hypnosis or with a trained professional — is crucial.

It’s also important to avoid alternate forms of negative commands, such as the following examples:

- rather than…

- instead of…

- avoid…

- etc.

Always use POSITIVE commands and suggestions!

I’ll admit, it takes some creative thinking, and it’s a learning process to overcome the overwhelming cultural training we have all been living with!

However, by becoming aware, I am gradually learning how to choose my words more carefully and achieving greater results!

For instance:

- Instead of “Don’t miss [fill in the blank]!” you can say “Take advantage of [fill in the blank]!” or “Get in on [fill in the blank]!”

- Instead of “Don’t Delay!” you can say “Hurry!” or “Act Now!” or “Take Immediate Action!”

- Instead of “Don’t forget to be there!” you can say “Be there!” or “Remember to be there!”

- Instead of “Don’t forget to stop and buy milk [or pick up the dry cleaning — fill in the blank]!” you can say “Remember to [fill in the blank] on your way!” or “Please buy [fill in the blank] before you get home!” or “Thanks in advance for [fill in the blank]!”

- Instead of “Do not forget to be on time!” you can say “Be there on time!” or “Remember to be there on time!” or “Be there at [time]-sharp!”

- Instead of “You can’t miss out on this opportunity!” you can say “You must TAKE this opportunity!” or “TAKE this opportunity NOW!” or “This is a MUST-SEE (or MUST-DO) opportunity!”

- Instead of “Don’t be afraid to ASK!” you can say “Feel free to ASK!” or “Please ASK any questions you have!” or “Freely ASK your questions!”

- Instead of “Would you like to [fill in the blank]? If so, don’t wait another minute! Order Your [fill in the blank] NOW!” you can say “Would you like to [fill in the blank]? If so, ACT IMMEDIATELY! Order Your [fill in the blank] NOW!”

- Instead of “Don’t Live With Depression [or fill in the blank]” you can say “Overcome Your Depression!” or “Live Free of Depression!” or even “Be Depression-Free!” and so on.

Get the idea?

Command, suggest, or inspire people to POSITIVE ACTION, and you will achieve far greater results!

And now, if you re-read my article headline, you can ALSO get an idea of how you can use this information to create some “reverse-psychology” results, as well!

“Get Rich Quick Schemes Revealed”

Filed under: Your Business — admin at 9:41 am on Monday, April 7, 2008

“Get Rich Quick Schemes Revealed” by Dianne Younger

Read this very special article before you consider

joining or paying for a “Get Rich Quick” program.

October 6, 2005

>From the desk of Dianne Younger, Senior Reviewer:

…..Wouldn’t it be nice to make a bundle of cash quickly, with
minimal effort,

working from home in your skippies? Of course it would. I for
one would love

to have money rolling into my bank account, working only a few
hours a week

from home, so I’d have more time to spend with my family,
without any boss

looking over my shoulder.

Whether it’s real estate investing, selling by classified ads,
stock market

investing, internet affiliate marketing, or something else,
we’ve all seen the

fantastic claims people make about making huge sums of money,
AND how

they can show you how to do the same thing. I can tell you right
now that at

least 90% or these people are total frauds. You may have even
fallen prey to

one or more of these scam artists, selling you their latest “Get
Rich Quick”

program. Me too. I’ve bought so many of these programs that I
can’t even

recall how many. I don’t know why, but I tend to find the “good”
in people,

and I was “sold” by these marketing schemes time and time again.
Guess I

just wanted them to work soooo bad, even after being scammed by
another.

Finally, after so many disappointments, I got FED UP. I decided
to get to the

bottom of this fascination we all have with get rich quick
programs, and find

out if there really were any LEGITIMATE programs for making
money.

My search took me through hundreds of different programs. Some
had a few

good ideas, but didn’t tell you how to implement them. I was
disgusted with

more that 90% of them. I repeatedly found:

*outdated information

*non-working links

*links leading to other sites that asked for more money

*no help section

*no real email support

*no refunds

I quickly realized that these so-called Get Rich Quick programs
were totally

useless. And I believe that the owners knew it and were laughing
all the

way to the bank! Surprisingly, while sifting through all the
scam artist’s and

would be internet guru websites, I was able to locate a couple
of sites that

actually ran legitimate programs. The owners seem to be everyday
people

like you and me that found a way to make a living working from
home on

there computers. Their sites were impressive, with a good amount
of quality

information on how to make money every day on your computer. I
even

checked what a few of there customers had to say in some online
forums,

not from testimonials, and they verified that these programs
were well worth

the purchase price. Not to mention that they have a money back
guarantee.

It was like I found a couple diamonds in the rough. But don’t
take my word

for it, you can check one of the sites for yourself, just follow
the link below.

See what you think.

They do charge a fee for their program, which is to be expected
for any

legitimate company that actually has friendly people on staff
who are

dedicated to helping you get started. If you decide you are
interested in

checking out this program below, I advise you to join quickly as
they are

growing very quickly and they may need to slow them down until
they can

gear up for more growth, I have also seen some signs that their
price may

be going up, so check them out soon. Well, my search for
legitimate Get Rich

Quick programs will most likely continue as it has for some
time. I must say

though, that I have been greatly disappointed with most of what
I found,

and I strongly advise that you do not take chances joining any
programs

other than the one listed below unless you do a lot of research
first! What

ever you do, I wish you a healthy, prosperous year for you and
yours.

I really hope this helps.

All the best.

Dianne Younger

P.S. Please note that in this program, this guy comes across
very obnoxious

and “I’m better than you are” kind of approach as you will see.
Just keep

that in mind if you’re easily offended. I thought it was kind of
funny and a

very different approach.

Explode Your Copywriting Response Instantly - By Adding This One Simple Little Thing To Your Ads

Filed under: Your Business — admin at 11:16 pm on Wednesday, April 2, 2008

If you’re struggling with people not responding to your ads and sales letters…or if you just want to give yourself a quick burst of sales…then this article will show you how.

Check this out: One of my marketing friends — who sells a lot of different products and services on his site — has been including something in his ad copy that has been driving people to his site left and right.

Not just his usual customers, either. But people who rarely ever order or have never ordered anything from him at all.

In fact, this one simple little element he’s been adding to his copy has massively increased his business, his sales and his customer list in ways he never would have dreamed possible.

What is this “secret” thing he’s adding to his sales copy?

Well, simple as it sounds…he’s merely including a gift certificate for $50 off whatever he’s selling.

Don’t let the simplicity of this fool you.

It works, and works extremely well.

Why?

There are probably a lot of reasons — besides the obvious discount reason — for this. But one of the more important ones is the feeling of entitlement.

You see, when someone gives you a gift certificate, with your name on it and everything, you almost have to use it. If nothing else it gets you to look at the website or catalog or product description more closely.

And because you already have money “invested” in it (in a sense), you start to give yourself reasons for actually buying it.

This is a very powerful psychological tactic that, when done right, can send your response and sales right through the roof.

And best of all: It’s easy to implement. All you have to do is put the gift certificate in the email you send out or in the ad you mail out. That’s it. No big deal at all. And yet, the results are enormous.
