Real Estate Investor Financing - Over The Counter Bulletin Board

rBy James Scott

For real estate investors, there are two things that are always in short supply regardless of the ups and downs in the economy: capital and quality inventory. Most investors that I have worked with not only need capital but strategies to go after capital that is not issued based solely on a credit score. Even if a real estate investor has good credit they still have the obstacle of too many inquires and too many open loans on their credit report and funding sources are spooked by these distractions and turn the applicant down even though all of their loans are current and they have a solid FICO.

If the above describes you or if you have limited or poor credit and you're a serious real estate investor, here is how to get all the capital you'll ever need. First put a solid strategy together. Start with your company infrastructure. Organize your company with a CEO, CFO, Board of Directors etc. After you've done this you want to set up your inter-industry strategic alliances which should be composed of other investors, bird dogs, electricians, roofers, general contractors etc. You want each of these alliances to have a purpose. They should be a portal for industry niche knowledge and consultation and also referral hubs. Let each of your alliances know exactly what type of investments you're looking for and as they are sending you referrals, reciprocate by issuing them work in whatever specialty they are in.

Next you want to have a solid business plan written for your company (don't write this yourself, have a professional do it for you) that spells out the intricacies of your company, your alliances, your accomplishments and goals. Paint a picture of success and strength.

Next you need a mechanism for accepting investment capital so you'll need a Private Placement Memorandum. This document package gives a technical breakdown of your investment opportunity and spells out the risks and advantages in detail to keep you from getting sued by investors down the road. This memorandum takes advantage of SEC Regulation D Rule Exemptions 504, 505 or 506. A PPM is the minimum requirement dictated by the SEC for accepting capital from accredited and non accredited investment sources. Real investors will demand an PPM anyway so it's good to have it done beforehand.

Now that your company is properly structured, you have a solid board of directors and alliances; your business plan is well written and to the point, you have a solid outlet for accepting capital from investors, you are now ready for capital. Your best bet is to go back to the company who wrote your business plan and private placement memorandum and use their 'investor finder' service. Legitimate corporate consultants who write technical documents will also stand behind their work by assisting their clients in finding investors. One solid strategy for getting access to capital quickly and easily is to have your Investor Finder forward go through their database and email individual and institutional funding sources.

When you are contacted by these investment sources, give them the option to invest in your company using the PPM (which will give you a fund in which you will be able to rehab real estate, buy at auctions etc). You will also want to give them the option of investing in a 'per deal' scenario. Allow them the option to also (or only) invest in particular transactions with you so when you get a deal, with a solid investor finder service, you'll eventually have 100+ solid investors to go to for quick capital on particular transactions that go above what your PPM fund can handle.

There you have it, a strategy that works 100% of the time for real estate investors globally. Your best bet, to make sure that you do this properly, is to hire a consultant that can set up this process for you. Cheers to your success!

St. Louis Rams Edge Cincinnati Bengals For NFL Preseason Win

sBy Ross Everett

Kyle Boller filled in for an injured Mark Bulger, and the St. Louis Rams improved to 2-1 on the NFL preseason with a 24-21 victory over the host Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams led 24-14 heading into the fourth quarter, but a Bengals TD early in the frame made for some drama down the stretch. The Bengals couldn't close the deal, however, and dropped to 1-2 on the NFL preseason.

Boller did withstand a hard hit from linebacker Keith Rivers that knocked his helmet off his head. Rather than leave the game, he calmly picked up his helmet and finished the drive. After the game, he talked about the play:

"I could have slid a little earlier. It is what it is. My chin strap hit just above my eyes. It was a good scramble, but maybe if I can get down a little sooner, the coaches would like that."

Rivers also commented on the play, insisting that the hard hit wasnt intentional:

"I was just trying to get to the ball. It wasn't anything intentional."

Boller had struggled last week but played well this week. Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo gave him credit in his postgame comments:

"He moved the team. He drove us down there after the bad start. When you score on a drive, the quarterback deserves the credit."

Bengals second string QB J.T. O'Sullivan didnt have it quite so easy"he was sacked three times, lost a fumble and had two passes deflected by linemen. The lost fumble added to the Bengals NFL preseason turnover woes"theyve lost five fumbles and thrown three interceptions for eight turnovers in three games. O'Sullivan talked about the problem after the game:

"We've just got to find a way to eliminate it. It puts you in such a disadvantage any time you turn the ball over. That's one of the things that has to change immediately."

Head coach Marvin Lewis agreed:

"When you turn the football over, you have a difficult time winning, whether you're playing in the regular season, the preseason, junior high, sixth grade, whatever it is.

St. Louis will get the NFL regular season underway on Sunday, September 13th as they travel to the Pacific Northwest to face the Seattle Seahawks. The Bengals open the NFL regular season at home against the Denver Broncos.

OTCBB: Over The Counter Bulletin Board

By James Scott

If you own or run a company that is trying to raise capital in the current economic conditions you've undoubtedly been challenged by the limited funds available. Investors are more difficult to find and the individuals that are actually willing to part with their cash are even tougher to find. You've talked to friends, family members, your cpa and your attorney but trying to get them to invest is like drawing blood from a stone, it's just not happening.

There is an easier way. Most broker dealers and market makers have an emergency number in their rolodex that reads "Investor Finder", these specialist consultants are brought in when there is nowhere else to turn for cash. A true Investor Finder has 1,000's of investor contacts that they can call on to get funding for their clients and are constantly using online viral strategies to attract more investors to their database.

An investor finder usually is not a licensed securities broker/agent or attorney; instead they are traditionally consultants that are active in the investment banking facilitation aspect of the industry. Being that they are not licensed they do not accept equity payments or percentages; instead they work on a flat fee basis.

A good consultant in this genre can bring in 30 to 70 real investors per day and it's up to the client to sell the opportunity from there. A typical lead from an investor finder will be an investor or investment firm that is responding to the consultant's opportunity introduction email or snail mail mailing, they have read about the opportunity and they respond one of two ways, either they are calling into a phone room to be screened and qualified or they are contacting the client directly.

Many times the investor doesn't know that they are part of the "finder's" database but do recall signing up to receive investment opportunity updates, so either way the investor is solid and active. If you are trying to raise capital and need real results quickly and can't afford to waste time begging for cash, you need to seek out a qualified Investor Finder consultant and make your fundraising efforts fast and easy.

Not Having A Website For Your Business Could Result In Missed Opportunities.

By Earl Gardner

If you don't have a business website then, most likely you are losing business to those companies that do have one. About 70% of the US population uses the Internet and the vast majority of those users have either purchased something online or have stated in polls they would be willing to make a purchase online. So unless your business owns a website then you are closing the door to your business to all but the most local of these people.

So why wouldn't you want to own a website for your business? I have lost count of the number of business owners who say they don't want a website because they never use the Internet. Well guess what? The website is there for others to find out about your business and services. You already know what you do, so what does it matter if you use the Internet or not? You are not going to be visiting your website to find out what you already know about yourself. Another objection we come up against is cost? These days you can get yourself online for about $10 a month, and you can use a simple website builder (supplied by most hosting companies) to create a half decent website. Of course as a web designer myself I would advocate using a professional company such as ours in order to get a professional web presence. But if your budget precludes this then take a cheaper option and get your business online. You know the old saying 'out of site, out of mind'....well this really applies to your company if you don't have a website.

If you don't want to push your prospective clients into the hands of a competitor, you really do need to own a business website. Most people expect a business to own a website, and when they are researching the company that they are thinking of doing business with, they will look for their website in order to find out about the company, its philosophies, products and services. The main problem with this is that while searching for your company website they phrases they may type into a search engine to find you (e.g. shoe stores in Fort Myers, Florida) will bring up the websites to your local competitors too. So not having any kind of web presence at all is going to handicap you. Even having a website isn't necessarily going to prevent your competitors' sites from being clicked, but not having a site, could mean that you are lost in the mix.

For companies who wish to trade nationally and/or internationally, owning a business website is an absolute must. Your website could be like having a fleet of unpaid salespeople all over the country, or the world. If you get your site well optimized for the search engines, or if you manage your paid ads (such as Google's AdWords) wisely then you will find that your site is getting hits from your geographical target markets, which hopefully will lead to eventual sales.

When you are doing looking for details of a business do you dig out your copy of the Yellow Pages, or, like most people, do you go to Yahoo or Google and type in the company details in the search engine? A poll showed that 67% of people do the latter. I am not saying that Yellow Pages is dead. That is not the case at all, especially if you are purely targeting a more local market. But it is suffice to say that even Yellow Pages has acknowledge the power of the Internet by turning their hard copy directories into electronic copies and placing them on the Internet.

There is no doubting that with each generation technology gets better. It wasn't so long ago that people used to have to queue up in Internet cafes in order to send emails or surf the Internet. Nowadays people carry the Internet with them wherever they go. The iPhone and other 3G cell phones make this possible. So if someone is in town and is looking for a company like yours, if you don't have a business website then the only way you are going to do business with these people is if they drive right by your front door.

If you want to be successful in business you need to be proactive. This means marketing. You want to bring people to your company and not necessarily wait for them to drop by. A lot of companies also use their websites to build up their opt in customer (or prospective customer) lists. Adding a simple form will let visitors add their contact details so they can be kept informed about your company and special offers you may have in the future. Of course you could go and buy these opt-in lists from specialist companies, but you can be guaranteed that the contact details of people on those lists will not be as reliable as the list you build up directly from your own website.

So the reality is that not owning a website is going to do your business a lot more harm than good. A good business website is not only a vehicle to sell your products and services, but it is also your online business brochure, and your salesforce, which is accessible to pretty much everybody, everywhere.

Taking A Company Public: Is Business A Form Of Warfare?

By James Scott

So is business a form of warfare? If it is who are the pawns and who are the kings? Let's look at the facts and past the 1980s clichs that chant: Greed Is Good and Business Is War as those chanting these phrases are often on the sidelines and not gifted enough to be on the field and playing and have no choice but to live vicariously through those they are jealously watching.

Everyone wants to be a player but in this industry you need a lot more than drive you need connections and capability. By connections I mean global political, global corporate, international finance and more. By capability I mean nerves of steel, the ability to bath in acid and swim with sharks and eat class for breakfast. This is one of the most stressful industries I know of with a burnout rate that is off the charts and any other global consultant that I know has struggled with their demons to stay on the top of their game. Business, by all categorical definition is War.

There are winners, losers, economies rise and economies crumble all because of global commerce. Global commerce as you know is control over the masses by an elite few. The elite are not the government officials as they themselves are pawns in a much larger game that even they don't understand. Commerce and finance are numbers on a computer screen and fractional reserve lending, the IMF and other organizations at the end of marionette strings to impose the will of the elite on the global populace.

War in the form of economics is ongoing whereas war with guns and the military is to make a statement. Economic warfare is trade sanctions and limiting technology that will enable a developing nation to grow which will disable their industrial capabilities so that instead of a thriving economy they are dependent on the involvement by industrialized nations. With the Bretton Woods Convention in 1944 and the reconstruction of Europe and the doing away with the gold standard the above mentioned Numbers On A Screen are dictated by who holds the most economic collateral to enforce their idea of numbers.

This group of elites has the economic and military power to impose its will and enforce the idea that the numbers that they place on that screen are etched in stone and if those numbers demonstrate a Loan to a developing nation, though no actual empirical capital has been transferred, that developing nation now becomes a willing pawn in the overall game of economic warfare. So there you have it, business is indeed a form of warfare. This industry of global finance serves as the royal court while those around us are forced to play by the rules we invent and enforce.

I'm not saying that this is a good thing, I'm not exactly proud to be part of the problem but this is the awkward reality. I know you're waiting for a happy ending or an idea that will help create a solution but I don't have one.

When my firm is brought in as a strategist and alliance facilitator for global rollups, acquisitions, mergers and IPOs we try to create as many jobs as possible but let me ask you, by creating more jobs are we just perpetuating the problem of the masses being controlled by the few?

EBay Drop-Off Centers: Selling For Someone Else

By Leslie Yc

EBay has moved offline. Several companies, like Snappy Auctions and I Sold It On EBay, offer sellers franchises for brick-and-mortar eBay stores. These drop-off spots take customer items, evaluate, photograph, and list them online, collect the payments, and ship the items to their buyers. In other words, they do all the work - for a percentage of the selling price, of course.

Beginner Strategies If you've contemplated jumping on the bandwagon and opening a physical drop-off location, fellow store-owner and eBay University instructor, Christopher Spencer has some advice for you:

* Location is key. Get a good broker to help you identify convenient retail sites. It's important to be in a high traffic area, such as a strip mall or a facility near good anchor stores, anyplace frequented by upscale individuals. To get high-quality merchandise, you need a higher level of clientele.

* Take store layout into account. As your business develops, you'll need exponentially more storage space. Advises Spenser, "Consider whether a building will fit your needs for future expansion, so you can avoid growing pains."

* Be careful what you accept. Don't waste your time with items that won't be worth the research and energy you'll invest in them. Patrons sometimes bring in boxes of junk, or items with very little value. Be realistic with your clients, and counsel them what will and won't bring in money. That way they know what to expect, and they aren't disappointed by their final prices.

* Charge a reasonable amount for your services. Keep yourself in line with what others are charging, rather than trying to undercut everyone in order to compete. Instead, add value to your services by focusing on areas at which you excel. If you have a staff member who specializes in a certain area, encourage your customers to bring in items in that field because you'll be able to get them the maximum prices on eBay.

* Concentrate on customer service. Exceed your customers' expectations. Says Spencer, "Building a reputation and getting good clients is a matter of word of mouth and referrals, and that's something people build over time."

Help Me Help You! People want help with things they don't know how to do, or don't have time to do - that's why there's such a need for this sort of service. It provides the convenience and ease of being able to just drop off an item and pick up a check. Though users have to pay a commission, they'll typically get more for their item by using an experienced, knowledgeable seller, than they would by selling it themselves.

Blue Jackets Blow Lead, Lose To Penguins In Shootout

By Ross Everett

The Columbus Blue Jackets learned a valuable lesson about NHL hockey on Friday night-it's dangerous to 'sit on a lead' and particularly against the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. Down 3-1, Pittsburgh tied the game late in the third period as Ruslan Fedotenko and Alex Goligoski each lit the lamp with less than three minutes remaining. After a scoreless overtime period, Sidney Crosby scored the only goal of the shootout to give the Penguins an improbable 4-3 victory. It was the 9th win in ten games for Pittsburgh, who are a perfect 6-0-0 on the road.

NHL hockey betting enthusiasts cashed wagers on the road underdog Penguins, but on the moneyline at +117 and the puckline. Pittsburgh has gotten off to a great start this year, going 11-2-0 in the first month of the season. Columbus is struggling to stay above .500 at 6-5-1. The 7 combined goals scored went OVER the posted total of 5'. The Blue Jackets have gone OVER in 7 of 12 games this season, while the Penguins have a NHL totals mark of 5-7-1.

Crosby's game winning score in overtime wasn't exactly the stuff of highlight reels, with the puck barely trickling over the line:

"It was kind of a fluky. The puck kept going. I don't know if he lost it or he didn't know where it was or whatever. I just tried a quick shot. I thought he had the save there. It just trickled in."

Jackets' goalie Steve Mason gave this version of events:

"It hit my stick and I didn't get it settled until it was over the line. It just trickled over and I was too late on it."

Penguins' left winger Chris Kunitz scored a shorthanded goal and praised the leadership abilities of team captain Crosby:

"It shows a lot of character from our captain. He goes out and he's never quitting on anything. Sometimes a team goes packing, down by two with 3 minutes left. But he goes out, he's on the bench, he's saying, 'Let's get the next one.' So we go out there and he finds himself the puck and he gets it to Goligoski, he gets a great shot and puts it in the net to get us to overtime."

Columbus' Rick Nash suggested that his team is having trouble 'closing out' games:

"We're not closing games. We got the lead in a lot of the games already and just can't seem to close it out. They are the defending Stanley Cup champions. You can tell why they're such a good team. We are a team that needs to learn how to play with the lead."

Pittsburgh will host Minnesota on Saturday night before heading to southern California next week for games against the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks. Columbus will play at Washington on Sunday before hosting the San Jose Sharks next Wednesday. That'll be followed by a game in Atlanta against the Thrashers the next night.

Add Some Punch to Your Site, Minus the Headache

By James Cameroone

For many, web design is a challenging endeavor. If a company is well financed, it is likely they will just throw some money at the hottest design firm in town and get snowed and overpay due to their own lack of understanding of the process. But the vast majority of web design and web design needs stem from small business and personal web sites where money is absolutely of concern and for most the ability to produce a site on their own seems far from grasp.

But now with the help of easy to use web design programs such as Dreamweaver and iWeb, even a fairly technologically inept user can at least get "something" going design and layout wise. But "something" is hardly enough for most of us, so how do we improve upon our sites when the knowledge base that created them was dealing in limited capacity from the outset? Why, 3rd party web vendors of course! And recently I discovered my new favorite for all things web design related.

A friend turned me on to GRSites.com a while back and I haven't gone elsewhere for 3rd party design help since. The web design options they have available are extensive and robust. From buttons, textured backgrounds and fonts to unique font logos, menus and text boxes, they have virtually every type of wing ding available for download and use on your own personal or small business site.

Their online portal is amazing. If you want a text box for your site but they don't have exactly what you are looking for, you can simply create it using a very simple to understand GUI that will kick out both a graphical display for your download and the html code that would create in an html editor. Simply phenomenal.

But simple text boxes are just scratching the surface. They also have portals for every item imaginable. Create your own logo with blur, glow or crumpled paper effects just to name a few. Or perhaps you need some unique buttons, no problem, their GUI is there and waiting for you.

It is rare I take the time to write about 3rd party vendors I use but as the market becomes more and more crowded with garbage I think it is important to bring quality sites to the forefront. I hope other web consultants can benefit from the knowledge of GRsites web design tools as much as I have. Check it out for your next project.

Dental Videos For Student Learning

eBy Phillip Guye

Dentist videos are really helpful for students perusing a vocation in dentistry. Medicine is a field that's absolutely practical. Be it a general consultant, surgeon or a dentist, a student can't learn without experiencing the practical side of the field. A student of drugs simply cannot become a doctor by making up some theory and vomiting it in the exam. There are plenty of practical sessions in the medical courses. There are many ways in which scholars learn practically. One of the common ways is being present in the situation where an experienced doctor is performing. The other way is making the students understand a particular surgery by showing them videos.

Videos are ordinarily utilized in the dentistry field. Dentist videos are shown to students chasing dentistry. They contain detailed and step by step procedures of what a dentist does during a surgery. As many organs in the body are tiny and surgeries are complicated, a student will be able to grasp minor details that they wouldn't normally by watching the videos.

Apart from showing surgeries in videos, scholars are also shown how different tools that doctors use in the dental field. There are numerous demonstrations given in this field through videos. For example, there are many videos and live demonstrations shown targeting tools and devices that are specifically used by dentists to remove teeth with minimal effort and without agony or pain for the patients. The need to by hand twist and pull a tooth isn't needed when these devices are used. A video shows in detail on the easiest way to use these devices. The dentist videos also contain graphical representations of how the bones and tissues aren't damaged and the various uses of the particular device.

Nowadays, these videos contain live demonstrations as the 1st part. The second part of the video contains explicit instructions by a pro and well established dentist on how the operation is done and how surgical process pans out. If the video is a demonstration on the ways to use a dental device, then it contains a graphical presentation on the various advantages and uses of the device together with the downsides compared to doing the process using traditional methods. These sorts of videos are highly professional and are made for medical scholars and doctors alone.

Frequently a camera might also be sent into the actual body of the patient to a get a close up glance at the workings of the different human parts. There are different kinds of dentist videos.

An Introduction To NFL Preseason Handicapping

sBy Ross Everett

Among the sports betting public there's a lot of conflicting opinions about betting NFL preseason games. That's not really surprising, since there doesn't seem to be much middle ground on the subject. Overly cautious handicappers would argue that preseason football is a poor wagering opportunity. Some of the more obnoxious tout services would have you believe that short of a fixed game there is no greater "lock" that preseason football. Like most things that produce such polarized opinions, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. Preseason NFL football is a unique proposition for the sports gambler, but when approached with caution, discipline and knowledge it can yield some profit.

First, let's examine the case against preseason NFL wagering. Clearly the biggest argument against it is the simple fact that the games don't count. Though spots will exist during regular season games when the motivation and preparation of individual teams may vary, in theory both teams want to win. That's not always the case in preseason football, since different coaches have different goals. Some might want to just evaluate their personnel, others might want to establish a winning attitude, and all coaches want to keep their stars from getting injured. Factor in all of the variables and conflicting agendas, the preseason naysayer would argue, and there are just too many unknowns to consider taking a financial position on.

The preseason NFL betting enthusiast would suggest, however, that it is the uncertainty that characterizes these games that makes for such a strong wagering opportunity. For example, in a matchup between a championship level team and a losing team you often see strongly divergent approaches to the game. Successful teams have more to worry about in terms of player injuries, fewer areas in which they need to evaluate talent, and more continuity in the areas of coaching and team chemistry. They often view preseason games as a chore, and have little interest in their outcome as long as they keep their superstars healthy.

NFL 'doormats', meanwhile, have a markedly different agenda to their more successful counterparts. They've often got heated competition for starting positions or key back up roles. They've often got new coaching staffs that players want to impress. Most significantly, they're in great need of establishing a winning attitude. A win against an elite team in a 'meaningless' preseason game often has a much greater value to this type of team than to a playoff contender.

Even among teams that don't worry much about wins and losses during the preseason, they don't want to go into the season losing them all. For that reason, one of the most successful preseason situations over the past decade and a half have been teams that lost their first two preseason affairs. During that span, 0-2 teams have hit right around 60% against the spread.

Perhaps nothing determines a team's approach to the preseason more than the philosophy of the head coach. Some coaches simply hate to lose anytime they line 'em up to play football, and as a result their teams are usually good preseason bets. Bill Parcells was famous for the preseason focus of his teams. Not surprisingly, many who worked with Parcells earlier in their careers are now carving out their own records of preseason success. This sort of dominance isn't lost on the linesmaker and a coach like the Giants' Tom Coughlin (a former Parcells assistant) will have his ATS success will definitely been factored into the pointspread. Still, a motivated team that wants to win is always worthy of consideration.

The smart preseason handicapper makes use of the Internet, and more specifically uses it to follow the local sports media of NFL teams. During NFL preseasons, teams' beat writers are anxious to write stories and need to fill articles but have little in the way of "real" news to write about. As a result, a handicapper can frequently find valuable details like a coach's goals for the game, playing time for key players, and specific strategies that will be implemented. Occasionally, coaches will come out and say that they're more interested in evaluating certain players for certain positions than they are in the outcome of the game. A thorough evaluation of this type of media coverage can often produce not only teams to play "on", but teams with priorities other than winning to play "against".

In closing, the best advice is to not be afraid of wagering on preseason football, but to not get too excited about it either. It's a good chance to grind out a small profit, but definitely not the moneymaking opportunity of a lifetime. There will be plenty of other"and better"football wagering opportunities down the road. Discipline and self-control is always in your best interest when betting on sports, and that certainly is the case in the preseason NFL.

Corporate Brochure Design - Seek The Help Of A Professional Brochure Designer

eBy Joseph Lee

However great your offerings may be, you still have to reach out to your customers and convince them. A great way of doing this is through a corporate brochure, which communicates the customer about the good points of your offerings and allows them to create an identity different from the competition.

A brochure has to hold the attention of the customers but it should also be professional as it represents the image of your business, and graphic design can help you in doing that. The best way to give information is to use graphic designs along with text, which will stay in the memory of the customers for a longer period. This is just one of the many reasons why you would require a skilled brochure designer.

Even though you can design the brochure yourself, it will amount to wastage of time, as everyone has a learning curve. While you are trying hard to make a high quality brochure, you may realize that you should rather give your attention to other aspects of your profession and give this assignment to someone who specializes in it.

Even if you do not have deep pockets, you can hire an expert to do brochure design for you, as the expense is affordable. If you have an expert do the task, the brochure would be interesting and at the same time will provide enough material for the customers to realize why your offerings are more beneficial for them. A professional will have a number of formats and graphic designs for brochures and they can be utilized according to your needs. A professional will also be able to print the brochure at reduced rates as he would most often have an agreement with a printer in place.

A professional brochure designer knows a lot more about designing a brochure than an amateur. Thus, it will be wise not to do a job for which you are not well equipped, and instead find a good designer. This is what businesses called outsourcing for higher quality and much dedicated expertise but assured to be on a lower cost.

Beat Selling

By Kyle Artzt

Let's talk for a moment about beat selling and how it applies to you as a beat maker. I know there is a lot of skepticism among producers who don't want to believe that there is money to be made online. Honestly this is not the truth. It's simply about finding the right advertising methods that work for you and cashing in on that market.

I think that SEO marketing is the key to success online if you have a website. I really love getting free traffic every day from the search engines without having to lift a finger. I combine that with article marketing, viral marketing and more to create some real buzz for my products (including beats).

Having said that, if you're new to selling beats online then Soundclick is the best place for you to start, bar none. That's where almost everybody starts because not only is it the #1 most popular site for producers online, but it's got a huge amount of rappers/hip hop artists on site too. That means there are actually customers coming from inside the site, unlike websites like RocBattle or MyBeatShop that are communities completely built from beat makers.

I like Soundclick the best for the following reasons:

1. Rising in the charts on Soundclick is more valuable promotion-wise than any other charts online... If you get to the top 10 on Soundclick, your site is seeing 20,000-100,000 plays PER day which translates into beat selling.

2. Soundclick provides paid promotions that are rather expensive but extremely well worth it. Also, there are many little-known advertisements on Soundclick that most people don't even like talking about... All that is covered in the eBooks I've written (link near the bottom of this article).

3. Soundclick is the perfect example of viral marketing. You can fly up in the charts completely because you've made yourself look like a legend on the charts. Believe me when I say that SC is the biggest chance for shine any producer can ask for online.

Selling beats on Soundclick is an easy task. They even have some great forums in place to help you promote. Soundclick should be your primary website and you should use websites like MySpace and Forums to bring in visitors. All you have to do is put your link in the tag of your posts and give people real, honest feedbackon their music. Do this in the Hip Hop section, give rappers your honest opinion and they'll check out your site in exchange, especially if you have your beats up for free download! Get them to download your beats, then sell to them later.

Take Your Company Public: A Must Read For A Successful Offering!

tBy James Scott

So many companies dream of going public both as a growth and exit strategy but unfortunately few succeed with this process. The third party audit, sponsoring of the S1 and 211 by a market maker and SEC comments stage is just one of the obstacles involved with taking a company public. The attempt at going public and actually achieving a symbol are two entirely different things and if you are lucky enough to achieve a symbol there's a completely separate area of expertise needed to keep your stock trading and to preserve a company's longevity in the marketplace.

Here are some things you need to keep in mind when gearing up to take your company public. Forget everything that you've read and heard and pay attention to what you're about to read because this is the straight forward, objective reality of the process. First, do not hire an attorney to take you public as they will take you on a long drawn out process to get as many billable hours as possible, instead, hire a consulting firm whose sole business model is to take companies public and take advantage of the relationships that they have with attorneys. This is the first rule: hire a consulting firm that offers a complete A to Z turn-key solution for taking a company through the process of going public, achieving a symbol and preserving the trade with a solid, ongoing post public investor relations strategy.

Next, when you've decided on a consulting firm evaluate their team, don't ask for references to call to research their track record, better yet, ask for symbols of previous clients and links to the Edgar database to check out current deals in the comments stage. The proof is in the empirical track record, not potentially fraudulent phone references that are easily engineered and BS.

Now look at their team. Make sure that the consulting group has a solid legal team, market makers, investor relations team, auditing group and someone well versed in the comments stage response as this can be one of the major hang-ups in achieving your symbol in a timely manner. Also, most important, they absolutely MUST have a solid group of investors to fund the process for equity and to sell their shares into the marketplace post public to create a market for your stock as well as a network of market makers familiar with your deal to piggyback off of the sponsoring market maker's 211.

About one month away from symbol achievement you'll want to meet with your consultants to get a solid IR strategy together for a big offering dbut. You will want to set up a strategy for 30 day IR intensives every other month with general corporate publicity strategies in between. I suggest changing your IR firm each quarter to keep it fresh and open up your trade to a new network of investors.

One special note to consider is that when you are raising your initial round of capital from seed investors, the fastest way to do this is to have a fist full of contracts and purchase orders in hand to strengthen your position and publicize this reality with an arsenal of press releases. Its 100 times easier to raise capital if you are showing seed investors a handful of 'soon to be' cash than to solicit them empty handed.

Obviously there are a multitude of other issues that you need to take into consideration when going public so find a consulting firm that can help you make it happen. Don't try to venture out into these waters on your own as you'll be diving into shark infested waters and you'll almost certainly fail.

OTC Bulletin Board: Technology Companies Can Raise Capital Fast!

By James Scott

Are you trying to raise capital for your start-up or corporation in expansion? Have you exhausted your traditional institutional sources and hedge fund contacts? Don't lose hope just yet! First of all, take all those pamphlets and brochures from banks and other traditional lenders that are lying all over your desk and toss them in the trash...they are absolutely useless.

Banks don't have your company's best interest in mind as they are hardly even staying afloat in this economy. Today's institutional financier isn't qualified to run a bath let alone a bank. Don't put your future in the untested hands of a 20 something knucklehead. After you've tossed all that useless info in the trash, clear your head and then look at your company and ask yourself a few tough questions: Is your company invest-able? Do you and your executive staff have a pedigree that investors deem as seasoned enough to take their money and make affective use of it and not lose it? What proprietary concepts/technology/patents do you have that give you a larger market share with the proper cash infusion? What is your current capital/debt situation?

If, after pondering these questions you've come to the conclusion you honestly, truly have something worth pursuing then the next step is to look at the reality that your company is worthy of a public offering. Stay away from Pink Sheets and be weary of reverse mergers and in reality your company won't qualify for the NASDAQ so the quickest way to raise public capital is the OTCBB (over the counter bulletin boards).

OTCBB is an SEC regulated platform that has a solid investor following and market makers that can effectively promote your stock to rapidly raise capital. Don't let these difficult economic times steal your dreams of corporate prosperity and personal growth.

If you have a solid business concept, there is a way to fund it. Look into the OTCBB, it's your best bet for an inexpensive public offering with a direct path to long term funding.

Can You Tell Legitimate Online Businesses From Frauds?

By Alanna Murphy

Despite its appeal, everyone knows that the idea of getting rich quickly is a complete myth. Still some hold out hope that this does not apply to making money online. This is evident by the number of people who do searches for terms related to the work-from-home and earn-money-fast niches. There are legitimate online businesses, but there are also a lot of unscrupulous people who will attempt to steal your money by convincing you that their program will make you rich. This article has three points that will help you identify the real businesses and get a job working from home, as well as protect yourself from the scam artists laying in wait.

How To Identify Real Businesses

Legitimate businesses have several things in common. First of all, legitimate businesses do not pressure you to sign up or threaten you with the chance that if you do not act now the opportunity will be gone forever. Real businesses want you to consider their offers thoughtfully.

Another characteristic of an above-board business is that they will tell you what the job is up front. They do not try and sell a list of jobs that you then have to go track down yourself. You can usually see some of the actual jobs. Keep in mind that membership sites are not the kind of scammers being referred to here.

Do some checking around at different work-at-home forums. What kinds of things are people reporting about the company? Are comments favorable or derogatory? If most of the comments are positive, then it is probable that the company is real. If the comments are mostly negative, it would be wise to avoid the company.

Legitimate online businesses will have jobs that range from typing, virtual assistance, transcription, answering questions and more. With some persistence and investigation, you will be able to find an online job with a real company that matches your needs and earns you the extra money you need.

How To Take A Company Public - Over The Counter Bulletin Board

By James Scott

There are many ways to use capital without using bank loans, lines of credit and other shady methods like shelf corps and bogus platform scams. If you are truly trying to raise capital for your company here are some simple breakdowns of your options with a quick definition for each one:

 PIPE: Private Investment In Public Equity this is used primarily by mutual funds and private investment firms where they buy discount stock in order to raise capital, there are two types of PIPEs traditional where common and preferred stock is issued at a set cap to raise money for the issuer and a structured pipe issues convertible debt.

 DPO: Direct Public Offering is when you sell equity shares directly to customers, suppliers and employees.

 PPM: Private Placement Memorandum is also known as an offering memorandum takes advantage of Regulation D rule exemptions 504, 505 and 506. This process came into existence with the'33 securities act and popularized in the late'80s, companies can raise money from the public via private placement; there is virtually zero interaction with the SEC after you file form d as long as you stay legal. (most popular form of fund raising).

 IPO: Initial Public Offering: extremely expensive, need SOX 404 audits, must have board of directors, quarterly financial reports to shareholders, report heavily to the SEC and 1 out of every 1000 companies that want an IPO actually qualify. I love participating in these but most companies just can't qualify for one reason or the other.

 OTCBB: Over the Counter Bulletin Board is an electronic quote system that is the next best thing if you can't go public via ipo, there is minimal red tape to startups and small businesses and is legitimized by the stringent ongoing reports to the SEC which keeps investor confidence high (these are extremely solid and I suggest this structure to companies when I am hired by their company or legal team as a consultant as a fast, easy way to raise big capital from the public otc)

 Pink Sheet: you can look at pink sheets as the Burger King, while the OTCBB is McDonalds, they are competing otc mechanisms. Pinks sheets are commonly referred to as penny stock and notorious for 'pump em' and dump em' controversies and a lot of crooked people are involved with this platform. This is not a long term process that will allow one's company to grow, pink sheets companies are typically short lived but it is cheap to set up but not a professional structure that could be upgraded in time to an IPO.

 Reverse Merger: a group funds the filing and creation of a public shell, they then sell that shell to a company that wants to go public, the established company merges it's entity into the public shell. The sellers retain around 30% equity after they charge an upfront fee of 300k to 1m. 99% of reverse mergers are successful with the merger, but unsuccessful to bring them to trade and the entity basically just fizzles out.

Taking your company public is actually quite simple and inexpensive when you have the right consultant putting the structure together for you. There are countless ways to raise capital quickly and easily. It's important that you understand your options before you waste time entering into the red tape infested banking system for a loan.

Redskins Offense In Disarray As Lewis Takes The Reins

By Ross Everett

The Washington Redskins are a mess right now. Head coach Jim Zorn has a tenuous hold on his job at best and after Sunday's---6 loss to Kansas City was stripped of his offensive play calling duties. Management installed newly hired 'offensive consultant' Sherman Lewis as the new offensive play caller and the team has set up an awkward arrangement for him to get the plays to the quarterbacks. For that reason, starting QB Jason Campbell has some serious misgivings about the efficacy of the setup.

Lewis has only been out of retirement and with the team for two weeks, and has spent this week trying to ingest a crash course on the Redskins' offensive schemes. While he was learning on the job, head coach Zorn was trying to put the best spin possible on what can only be seen as a de facto demotion:

"I need to have composure. I need to understand what the reality of the situation is, and I think our players expect me to rise up. We expect them to play under adverse conditions. We expect them to risk it all. ... I'm conscious of what's going on. I'm not naive about what's going on, and yet I have to just hold back on any feelings and make the decisions."

Quarterback Campbell is more concerned about the convoluted system of getting plays from Lewis to him:

"There'll probably be a couple of plays I have in my head just in case if some reason it doesn't get in on time."

Here's how things are supposed to work-Lewis will sit in the coaches' box above the field and read the plays off a sheet. While Lewis has years of experience working in the so called 'West Coast Offense', Zorn left doubt that he really knows what he's doing at this point stressing that Lewis "doesn't know the protections" and "doesn't know the blitz schemes." Nevertheless, he'll be running the offense when the Redskins take on Philadelphia this Monday night.

Once Lewis figures out what to call, that's when it really gets tricky. He'll relay the plays via headset not to Zorn but to offensive coordinator Sherman Smith. Smith will then inform the quarterback what to run. Zorn is left in the role of a passive bystander on offense, though he will listen in to the playcalling on his headset.

Backup quarterback Todd Collins also shared his concern with the new arrangement:

"It is unsettling. I've never gone through this before. I've never had a play caller get changed in the middle of the season."

Lewis didn't exactly evoke a lot of confidence upon his hiring, where he revealed that he'd been calling bingo games at a seniors' center to kill time since his retirement in 2004. Still, Collins gave him a guarded vote of confidence;

"I know he's been studying last year's game against the Eagles and seems to have a pretty good idea how he wants to call the game this week. It's the same plays. He might coach them a little differently or highlight some different areas, but the offense hasn't gone under an overhaul or anything like that."

The Redskins haven't scored more than 17 points in a game this season, so maybe the thinking is that things can't get any worse.

Cowboys Open NFL Season With Win Over Bucs

By Ross Everett

Tony Romo passed for a NFL career best 353 yards and threw three touchdown passes as the Dallas Cowboys got their 2009 season off to a good start with a 34-21 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Raheem Morris went down in defeat in his debut as Bucs head coach.

The Cowboys easily covered the pointspread as -4 road favorites, and improved to 16-12 over the last three years when laying points. Tampa Bay dropped to 17-17 over the same timeframe as an underdog.

After the game Roy Williams couldn't resist a wisecrack about T.O.:

"Career-high passing yards? Without T.O? "No, it's good. It's good for him. It's good for this team. It was a team effort. Everybody contributed."

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said he wasnt surprised:

"They are playmakers, and we knew that going in. But until you do it, the naysayers are going to say: 'Hey. You don't have this or that.' But I think we do."

Romo, meanwhile, preferred to focus on the victory instead of his individual accomplishments:

"You don't think about yards. You're not judged off of yards. You're judged off of winning and losing at this position."

Raheem Morris talked about taking the loss in his NFL coaching debut:

"Obviously, we're disappointed. But there were a lot of good things on offense."

Perhaps the brightest silver lining in the dark cloud of the loss was the performance of Cadillac Williams. Williams appeared fully recovered from serious knee surgery and rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown.

Bucs cornerback Ronde Barber suggested that the final score wasnt indicative of the way his team played:

"We had our chances. The final score is definitely not indicative of how good we played at times. Those big plays absolutely destroy you football team.

The Cowboys will open their season at their plush new $1 billion plus stadium this Sunday, hosting the New York Giants. The Bucs will head to upstate New York to face T.O and his new team, the Buffalo Bills. Theyll return to Florida the following week to take their turn hosting the New York Giants.

Key Factors In Creating Your Website

By Marie Northman

As a business owner, whether you decide to create your own website or hire a professional to do this for you it is important to understand what criteria go into creating a phenomenal website as opposed to a mediocre one. The difference between the two may be the difference between the success and failure of your web-based business.

The first thing that you need to decide on, when building a website, is a domain name that will grab the attention of the search engines for your keywords. You will also want to create a keyword phrase that will allow those looking for a business in your industry to come upon your website. These two elements is what brings the traffic to your business web page.

When designing your web page you also want to make sure that it is appealing to the eye, without being over complex. Some pictures of your products and services are great to give the customers an idea of who you are and what you offer, however you will want to stay away from Java script as this will repel the search engine crawlers instead of draw them in.

Then you should make sure that your pages are linked to each other so that customers can easily access further information from your site. Include links to product information sites but be sure that you are not redirecting your customers to other sites that sell the same items. You don't want to send your business elsewhere.

Lastly, make certain that you have separate Meta tags and descriptions for each of your pages. If you place all under the same tags the SEs will conceive that all your pages bear the same information which will drive them to only apprehend one page, omitting all others as duplications. Although it's crucial to produce a professional, user favorable internet site it is as well crucial to make certain that your sites assist in acquiring attention from the SEs. This will assist you in getting a better ranking and will step-up the sales that come in through your internet site.

Over The Counter Bulletin Board - Take Your Company Public

By James Scott

Take Your Company Public: Beware of Scams! Many entrepreneurs dream of taking their company public and expanding their venture into an international enterprise that begins to hemorrhage investment capital and profits from the get-go but then reality sets in as one begins to navigate the dingy, shark infested waters of the 'go public' market place.

There are consultants and boiler room penny stock misfits just waiting for you to stumble onto their site and in only a few minutes on the phone you're reeled in and signing contracts and making wire transfers and equity disbursements and at the end of the grueling 3 to 6 month process, you're broke, your company is in shambles and you just stand their staring off into space feeling like the boogie-man just slapped you around. Welcome to an industry where the weak are preyed upon like wolves on an injured lamb tangled in a fence.

If you are serious about going public there are some structures to stay away from because 99.9% of the time they fail. Pink Sheets and Reverse Mergers into a public shell are two formations to be very weary of. Pink Sheets are almost a completely unregulated trading platform and known by any savvy investor as the 'red light district' of the public trading industry. Pump 'em and dump 'em is the name of the game with Pink Sheets. Stock Price manipulation is as common with pink sheets as gross stench is to 5 day old road kill on a desert highway. If you are going to get involved with Pink Sheets find an attorney or consultant that can guide you around the scam artists, it's difficult to make in on the Pinks but I have heard of a few companies making it.

The next cesspool in the trading industry is ultra popular (for newbie's) and the number one 'big mistake' made by countless 'go public' rookies, the reverse merger into a public shell ouch! It even hurts to say it. I get calls on a daily basis from business owners who thought they were getting droppings of manna from heaven when a consultant suggested that they save $100,000's and months of work by simply buying a public shell and merging their entity with it and abracadabra you're big time and public and making millions. Sadly the reality is that this poor sap just spent $200k on an entity with liens and 15% equity distributed to a group of investors who pumped up the stock and dumped it before the ink on the contracts was dry. Now his dreams are shattered, he's broke; his company will get stripped down and sold off in pieces like an unlocked car in the ghetto.

It's sad when I see the same scams perpetrated on the uninformed over and over again. If you are trying to raise capital, find a consultant, objective broker dealer or attorney who will listen to your needs and before doing anything will give you the good and bad news about the various options. Taking your company public can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your career. You can purchase other companies with stock. You can use stock as collateral for quick loans to support growth. You can reward employees with shares in the company for meeting certain objectives. Go public, fulfill your dreams just use caution as you proceed.

Over The Counter Bulletin Board - Anatomy of an S-1

By James Scott

Your company is growing. Now you are ready to start raising serious capital and you here the public fund raising markets. Here are the basics of your S-1 filing. Know the lingo before you hire a consultant. Because companies must adhere strictly to SEC regulations, initial prospectuses are similar in their organization. Each S-1 generally consists of the following sections:

Front Section -- An S-1 contains a small amount of information not available in a prospectus. In this first section, you can quickly find the issuing company's phone number and get a vague sense of the future offering price.

Cover/Inside Cover -- The prospectus cover outlines the general terms of the offering, including names of the underwriters, number of shares offered, and pricing information. The actual share price is absent from a prospectus until the day of the offering.

Prospectus Summary -- Here you will find a brief synopsis of the company's business and history, a modest discussion of the change in capitalization to occur as a result of the offering, and a useful summary of financial information covering the last five years, if available. If you are screening prospectuses for investment ideas, start here.

Risk Factors -- After you have read a few prospectuses, you will become familiar with the "usual suspects" in this section, including "Possible Volatility of Stock," "Limited History of operations," "Dilution," and "Dependence on Key Personnel." Nevertheless, this section is a worthwhile read to be sure that you understand the challenges facing the company's management. The discussion of competition can be sobering, but it can also provide a means to compare the value of the issuer against the financial performance and market valuation of its competitors.

Taking your company public should be an exciting and revitalizing time. Don't take unnecessary risks, hire a consulting firm who can streamline this process and deliver the results you'll need for success!

1. Navigation.

Simple websites only includes important information. This makes navigation relatively easy. The key here is to be consistent. You need to put navigation elements in the same place on each page whenever possible. There must be a one main navigation menu. As much as possible do not use drop downs for navigation.

2. Simple web pages loads faster.

When you are designing, make it a rule that you make your file as small as possible. This is of course because of the fact that smaller files loads faster. With simple designs, you will likely be using simple style sheets and less number of HTTP requests.

3. Easy to scan website pages.

When visitors come across a certain website, scanning is the first thing that they do. They scan through the pages and look for something that they need, and when they don't find anything they will immediately hit back and move on. Thus as a designer, it is a must that you know how to create layouts that clearly presents what your site is all about. As a general rule, present your contents keeping in mind that visitors will scan it in "F" or "E" pattern.

4. Simple code is easier to debug.

When building your site, make sure that you simplify your code right from the very start. Simple codes are easier to debug, thus saving time for the designer.

5. Do not put unnecessary decorative elements.

Though it is still a case to case basis, make sure that you do not put decorative elements that do not serve any purpose. Though your field is designing, the clich "simple is beautiful" still applies to websites.

Selling On eBay and Managing Your Seller Fees

By Jesse Holmes

When it comes to learning how to sell on eBay, many people focus just on how to create auctions and ship packages. While those issues are extremely important to a person's success on eBay, it is important to understand that there is a lot more to it that that. If you plan to sell things on eBay in mass amounts, you will quickly find that the fees involved really add up. This is something that you need to learn about and understand in order to be a successful eBay seller.

There are three different categories of fees: PayPal fees, eBay listing fees, and eBay final value fees. If you don't use PayPal, then you can avoid PayPal fees. However, most buyers on eBay want to use PayPal to pay, so it's unlikely you'll be able to avoid using PayPal.

The eBay listing fees range in price based on the price of your item and the options you want to include. These listing fees could range from a few cents to twenty or thirty dollars. For example, if you want your auction to appear in bold or highlighted, that will cost extra.

The eBay Final Value Fee is a percentage that eBay gets after your auction is over and a sale was made. It is based on the final selling value of your item. You will probably hear many people complaining about these fees within the eBay structure. Some people complain that they spend hundreds of dollars a month in fees. While that may seem like a lot, it really is not considering that they are making several thousand dollars a month.

Some beginning eBay sellers wonder if they should sell only on eBay, or if they should consider other auction websites that offer cheaper fees or maybe even allow their sellers to list for free. While this might seem great, the problem with these other websites is that many buyers are not aware of them. That is why eBay is a good place to start, because everyone knows about eBay, and eBay is spending millions of dollars in advertising to make sure that more customers come every day. The more people that come, the better chance you have to sell your items at a profit.

When you're just getting started on eBay, it's important to be aware of your seller fees. While eBay will send you an invoice at the end of the month, you should keep track auction-by-auction or week-by-week so that you won't be caught off guard.
