Debt: Does it Have a Good Side?
Posted on July 27, 2010 - Filed Under Finance | Leave a Comment
Some may well say that it all depends on what side of the fence - or the counter of the bank or desk in the car dealership you are on. That is true however even if you are a borrower debt can be a good thing for your financial health and growth.
Over the past 25 years the amount of debt the average American or Canadian owes has risen amazingly. The mindset if have now, Why wait for spring? Have that car or large house now. This is a very different mindset than our parents were raised on. Their attitude often was “pay cash” and “if you cannot afford it, don't buy it”. Our parents were more often than not raised themselves by parents who had lived during the “great depression” of the 1930's where almost everyone had nothing , no job, no money , no employment and certainly no money to pay off loans. Hence easy credit was not available nor part of their lifestyle. An economic historian R. Z. Strokon has noted that the best education that many young people could have today is to “learn to wash floors”.

Yes there is legitimate work from home, but you must be willing to do your research to make sure that you don't get scammed. If you're thinking about starting up a home based business then you must consider that it's the same steps as for any kind of new business. You have to research the market, come up with a business plan, come up with capital, and do the same things that you have to do with them outside of the home business. Additionally, you have to be prepared for the fact that even if you do all these things you still might not be successful. That's just the sad facts with any business, some people are successful and some people are not.

Hate your job?

I think one of the least talked about ways of making money online has to be promoting on the street. The reason is because as soon as the Internet became popular it was literally kicked to the curb! Originally, everyone was making money on the streets, either by handing out flyers, or placing lawn signs everywhere. If I were to tell you that you could still make money by doing this, you'd probably call me nuts! Well, if you really want to think that, go ahead because I think this needs to be talked about. If you want to make a lot of money extremely quickly, do this, I promise it works! What I want you to do first is go to a website called ClickBank and sign up (it's free). What they do is manage a bunch of different products that you can promote for a commission. All you need to do is send traffic (people) to that product page, and if they buy, you make your commission. The correct term for it is, becoming an affiliate. Now the good part… Once you've done that, the promoting on the streets comes into place. After you pick a product that you want to promote on ClickBank, I want you to open up Microsoft Word, Notepad, whatever you use on the computer to write things. You will need to write 2 sentences about the product you are promoting, and make it catchy! Make the font extremely big and bold so that people can read it from far away. Then place your custom link to the product you are promoting at the bottom of it. (It's called your “Hoplink” and ClickBank creates it for you, it's extremely easy.) Now after you have done that, I want you to print out about 100 of these. Fold them in half and take them with you on a walk around your neighbor hood. When you're walking, place them on the windshields of parked cars… After you've run out, go home and log into you ClickBank account later that night. I guarantee you'll be surprised! This is exactly how I started affiliate marketing. I know you're probably thinking that this would never work and that it's a waste of time. Well let me tell you something. When I used to do this, for every 100 I would hand out, I'd get around 10 people buying. So lets say that I received $50 a sale. I would make $500 dollars every time I'd go out and do this! Sounds a little more appealing now, right? So go out and do this, I promise you if you just try it, you'll start seeing great results immediately. If you want more tips like this about affiliate marketing, I highly suggest you join my free 7-day Bootcamp where I explain exactly how to make money with affiliate marketing, from scratch! And it's free, what's better than that? Check it out here: http://759dcen-39oj27ab43i938cy4z.hop.clickbank.net/
Small Business Loans Are a Growing Problem
Posted on February 23, 2010 - Filed Under Finance & Investment | Leave a Comment
Judging by numerous commercial financing measures, commercial lending is already a huge problem for most small businesses. Without government bailouts, commercial banking companies would have failed some time ago in many cases. Even though that outlook is bleak, this report will provide an even more negative analysis for working capital loans and commercial finance services. While we wish it were not the case, it is likely that business loans will be the next big problem for lenders.
For the past year, most banks and lenders have been subject to both disastrous operating results and negative publicity. Actual commercial lending activity reported by banks conflicts with the usual attempt by politicians and bankers to portray banks as normal and healthy. Most bank financial results have been disappointing after working hard to solve massive residential loan problems. Based on what has been seen and reported, it is reasonable to wonder if commercial lending has more big problems lurking in the wings.
