Advertising 101
Advertising. My first business taught me the most important fact about advertising; you will never succeed without continuous advertising. The success of ChamberMaid proved that true. I have seen many businesses fail because they do not see the need for advertising. Businesses grow, or die, in cycles.
A retail outlet may have a lot of walk in traffic, but that does not mean it will sustain the same level traffic on a continuous basis. A business possesses a certain level of synergy when...

Average Retirement Income Crisis
The average retirement income for baby boomers is projected to give them a near poverty level lifestyle. That's shocking!

Basic Stock Trading
Many investors have a rudimentary understanding of how stocks are traded, but they do not fully understand how things trade. There are many horror stories. An investor sees their stock slipping, knows it will slip further, so puts in an overnight trade only to learn later that stocks continue to fall after the local market closes. Or, an investor believes they are fixed in at a certain number at the moment they call their broker, and learn later that they bought stocks at a much higher cost...
Creating Multiple Streams Of Income The Right Way
Most entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs have caught onto the new multiple streams of income trends. The objective is sound. `Don't put all your eggs in one basket.'

Ecommerce Advertising Vs Website Optimization
One of the biggest propaganda campaigns on the Internet is that `advertising is dead, long live optimization.' Thousands of ecommerce business owners and Internet Marketers are chanting the mantra like thousands of football fans chanting for their favorite team after a victory.

How Stock Investors Stole Your Retirement
Many people are forced to start multiple streams of income to support their retirement funds, in many cases, because stock investors used clever schemes.
Mutual funds were moderately successful until the advent of the investment retirement account and in particular the 401(k). Corporate insiders persuaded the federal government to allow for the 401(k) in lieu of offering employees the traditional pension.
When this happened the employees lost the protection of a specialized financial manager...

Outlook For Home Prices - Dim
Investors, don't expect home pricing to increase anytime soon. Recent events indicate that real estate values will stay flat or even decline further.
Why the gloomy forecast? Let me count the reasons:
1. The FHA has banned down-payment grants that have traditionally been paid for by home sellers.. That is a serious blow to owners of lower priced homes. Fewer people will be able to afford those homes. Fewer buyers mean downward pressure on home values.
2. Those having trouble making their...

Real Estate Down Payment Grants Bite the Dust
The new federal housing bill sounds the death knell for "down payment grants". Such "grants" are down payment assistance schemes that have been exploiting a loophole in federal lending laws.
That loophole allows non-profit organizations like AmeriDream and Nehemiah Corp. to gift down payment money to home buyers. In actual practice home prices are inflated by as much as 6% so the seller can reimburse the non-profit for the grant.
The latest housing bill is just another signal the there is...

VA Foreclosures Can Be Profitable Investments
Just like any other lender, the Department of Veteran's Affairs expects buyers to whom they lend money for property to pay their mortgages on time until the debt is paid off. Sometimes however, like any other lender, the VA is forced to take back a home through foreclosure.
