They sink every dime they have into developing websites, offering new products, and getting in front of potential customers. Over time, these businesses grow into entities of pride and value. It is impossible not to feel proud of an endeavor that started as an idea and evolved into a way to earn a substantial or comfortable living.In the process of becoming a consistent and viable way to earn a living, small businesses become inherently valuable. Owning a business is like owning stock, only you own all of it. The problem, though, is finding a way to recapture some of the value you have created. Imagine owning a $1 million dollar business, but not being able to access any of that $1 million. It is a challenging situation, and it is not unique. Small business owners tend to have nearly all of their wealth in their businesses, which means that they cannot diversify their investments and protect themselves from normal business risk.There is a way out of this predicament, and SME Capital Markets is ready to help. With a plethora of resources and advice available, small business owners can learn how to take their businesses public on http://www.smecapitalmarkets.net. Going public is not the exclusive domain of large companies with hundreds of millions of dollars in their war chests. A small public offering can be a viable way for small business owners to recapture some of the wealth they have created.Your Most Valuable AssetSmall business owners tend to have the vast majority of their wealth tied up in their businesses. This means that you can take the actual cash that you earn (after expenses), but you cannot tap into the full value of your business. For private companies, a rule of thumb is that your business is worth 2.5 times earnings – essentially 2.5 times what you make after business expenses and salaries. After you pay all your expenses, including your salary, you have a certain amount of cash left over. Your business is worth more than twice that amount, but you cannot reach the total value. So, you have a dilemma.SME Capital Markets helps small business owners increase the value of their companies and access that value. Focused on small companies, SME Capital Markets provides information and advice on how to go public. The information and advice is focused on the issues that smaller businesses face; large companies should look elsewhere.SME Capital Markets offers all the resources that small business owners need to make an informed decision about going public. The website offers reports, original research, and mountains of data. Using this information, small business owners can decide if going public is right for them. If it is, they can contact the company’s principal, Brad Smith, to explore a public offering in more detail. Prices for information are quite reasonable, making it easy for small business owners to understand what it means to go public, and whether to take the next step.Cashing OutSME Capital Markets offers real advice for small business owners. Their goal is not to drag you into a difficult decision that is not appropriate for a business of your size. Instead, they prefer to help you make an informed decision. If the decision is to go public, they will help you every step of the way. Electing to go public is a serious decision, requiring a considerable amount of work (just to make the decision). SME Capital Markets endeavors to make this a realistic option for small business owners while not pushing them into unnecessary complexity.There is a special environment for small businesses that go public – the Over the Counter Bulletin Board ( OTCBB ). Unlike the big IPOs of the dotcom days, the OTCBB is for smaller companies that want to generate more capital (either for growth or as a way for the business owner to cash out). Stock prices are lower, and the stock trading patters are a bit trickier than for large companies. This venue, though, allows successful small business owners to recapture much of the wealth that they created – and otherwise would not be able to touch.Going public also can increase the value of your business. As mentioned earlier, the value of a small business usually is determined by multiplying your earnings by 2 ½. Not bad, right? Your business is worth more than twice the income it generates. By taking your small business public, though, it could be worth much more. Public companies tend to trade at more than 5 times the company’s earnings, so by going public, you can double the value of your company.That is the goal of SME Capital Markets. They want to help small companies that are ready to take a big step. But, they want to help in a way that only works to the benefit of the small business owner.How the Web HelpedSME Capital Markets chose to market its services via the web for many reasons. Essentially, the web opened a much larger market to the company than simply pursuing clients through word of mouth networks or traditional print advertising. Small business owners represent a diverse, disparate market. Small business owners can be hard to find. Print advertising would have been inefficient, since small business owners read the publications that matter to their businesses. A small online retailer, for example, is more likely to read publications that cater to online retailers than small businesses. The information in the former is much more directly valuable.The information offered by SME Capital Markets is easily delivered over the web. Small business owners can save up to 10% of the cost of a report by downloading it instead of paying for shipping and handling. The information is easy to find, and customers can access it quickly. As a result, using the web for its major presence was natural; SME Capital Markets can make its products more accessible and less expensive by operating online. This helps SME Capital Markets fulfill its mission of helping small businesses make difficult decisions without having to spend a fortune.Lessons for Small BusinessesSME Capital Markets offers a twofold lesson for small businesses across the country. First, the services offered by this company offer small business owners a way to tap into the value of their businesses while potentially increasing that value (by going public). Also, SME Capital Markets has used the web as a way to communicate information quickly and efficiently to a distributed audience without having to increase its prices to reach this audience.Helping small companies is fundamental to the mission of SME Capital Markets. In the world of finance, fortunes are made with larger businesses. To enter the small public company space requires a focus on service instead of astronomical profits; there is no other reason to enter that market. Consequently, SME Capital Markets remains focused on its purpose of helping small business owners enjoy the wealth they have created but cannot access. Going public is not the right decision for every small business, but SME Capital Markets can help you decide if it is the right decision for you.In accomplishing its mission, SME Capital Markets has demonstrated the importance of using the web. The entire business would not have been viable without a way to reach a diverse, fragmented market. With the development of a simple website, using prepackaged and inexpensive components for processing payments and disseminating information, SME Capital Markets was able to launch in a short period of time and begin to serve its constituency. Its materials are accessible to entrepreneurs who may not be able to find them otherwise.SME Capital Markets used the web to assemble expertise, generate information, and reach its market quickly and effectively, demonstrating the potency of an online presence for small businesses. With the work of SME Capital Markets, entrepreneurs can focus on new growth techniques while learning the flexibility of the online business environment.Copyright 2006 Daniel Scheff </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://henlumsms.info/case-study-sme-capital-markets-educating-the-small-business-owner/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Using an International Business Degree</title> <link>http://henlumsms.info/using-an-international-business-degree</link> <comments>http://henlumsms.info/using-an-international-business-degree#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Mar 2023 15:55:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://henlumsms.info/?p=67</guid> <description><![CDATA[International business involves combining sales and marketing on a global level, rather than centralizing business locally.

Individuals who pursue this career are typically prepared to immerse themselves in this position, as they will be most likely be required to travel and put in long hours. However, there are many other areas open to those who hold this degree that may require less travel time. Exploring all available options is important when considering a career in this field.While an associate’s degree can be earned, the majority of employers are seeking candidates with at least a bachelor’s degree in international business. Master’s degrees and doctorate degrees may also be earned. Degrees are offered at colleges, universities, and accredited business schools. For students who wish to apply to top ranked companies after graduation, choosing a program that is highly respected is essential.One position available to those with this degree is an interpreter. In international business, exchanges are made daily between individuals or groups that may not speak a common language. The role of an interpreter is to bridge this communication gap so that both parties are able to do business. Interpreters must be well-versed in their area of business; medical interpreters may not understand vocabulary about the market or economy, and vice versa. These individuals must also be able to understand style and tone, as inflection also plays a large role in language and communication.Management analysts are also very prevalent in international business. Usually working through a contract basis, management analysts are experts on ways to improve a company’s efficiency. They are usually hired to be consultants on a particular issue or project. These individuals may work with financial records, current procedures, company staff, and any other relevant documents. While some projects can be completed independently by the management analyst, others may require putting together a special team to pinpoint a particular problem and develop solution strategies. The average salary for this position is approximately $78,000 per year, although the actual number may vary depending on education and expertise.Those with an international business degree may wish to pursue a career as an international sales representative. These professionals work either through a manufacturing company, or an independent agency, and demonstrate products to a certain area or territory. Selling the products will produce a commission payment for the representative. Those in this career should be especially goal oriented, persuasive, outgoing, and have great communication and people skills. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://henlumsms.info/using-an-international-business-degree/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Social Bookmarking – What Is It and Who Are the Key Players?</title> <link>http://henlumsms.info/social-bookmarking-what-is-it-and-who-are-the-key-players</link> <comments>http://henlumsms.info/social-bookmarking-what-is-it-and-who-are-the-key-players#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Mar 2023 13:49:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://henlumsms.info/?p=65</guid> <description><![CDATA[Social bookmarking is a way for Internet users to manage, organize, archive, and search for bookmarks online resources.

Social bookmarking is important because it allows you to leverage your content. If the content is used properly, other things will follow.It has several benefits, including the exposure of your content on other websites, which will give you a higher degree of visibility, and an ability to acquire a back link with keyword relevance from a website of authority. If you are marketing your products and services in your niche, this is a good source of your revenue. The more you can share information about your brand with people online, the stronger your reputation and credibility will become.Lately, many search engine optimization (SEO) companies are depending greatly on social bookmarking submission to promote their clients websites. High-quality social bookmarking creates good-quality back links and draws a large amount of traffic.In social bookmarking, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. The bookmarks are generally public and can be saved privately, are shared only with specific people or groups and are only inside certain networks, or in another combination of public and private domains. The people who have access can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.Many social bookmarking services provide web feeds for their lists of bookmarks, including lists organized by tags. This allows subscribers to become aware of new bookmarks as they are saved, shared, and tagged by other people. The following is a partial list of popular social bookmarking sites:Delicious: (originally called del.icio.us) invented tagging and coined the term social bookmarking. It is a web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. All bookmarks posted to Delicious are publicly viewable by default, although users can mark specific bookmarks as private. Imported bookmarks are private by default.<br />Furl: A free service that maintains important items that you find on the web and allows you to find them quickly again.<br />Simpy: A web-based personal and bookmarking service, which was acquired by Yahoo! but still operates independently. <br />Citeulike: A free online service that organizes references to academic papers and can be shared with others. <br />Connotea: A free online reference management service for clinicians, researchers and scientists. Connotea is sometimes called a social citation service. <br />Digg: A social news website. The sites cornerstone function consists of letting people vote stories up or down, called digging and burying, respectively. Many stories get submitted every day but only the most Dugg stories appear on the front page.<br />Diigo: Diigo allows signed-up users to bookmark and tag webpages. Additionally, it allows users to highlight any part of a webpage and attach sticky notes to specific highlights or to a whole page. These annotations can be kept private, shared with a group within Diigo or a special link forwarded to someone else. The name “Diigo” is an abbreviation for “Digest of Internet Information, Groups and Other stuff.” <br />StumbleUpon: An Internet community that allows its users to discover and rate random web pages, photos, and videos. It is a personalized recommendation engine that uses peer and social-networking principles. Web pages are presented when the user clicks the “Stumble!” button on the browsers toolbar. StumbleUpon chooses which Web page to display based on the users ratings of previous pages, ratings by his or her friends, and by the ratings of users with similar interests. Users can rate or choose not to rate any Web page with a thumbs up or thumbs down. <br />Connectbeam: A social bookmarking and tagging service targeted toward businesses and enterprises <br />Lotus Connections: A product that is owned by IBM. It is social software for business. The product provides businesses of varying sizes with a Web 2.0 collaborative work environment. <br />Sites such as Reddit and Newsvine offer a similar system for organization of social news.AdvantagesA social bookmarking system has several advantages over traditional, automated resource location and classification software, such as search engine spiders. All tag-based classification of Internet resources (such as websites) is done by humans who understand the content of the resource, as opposed to software, which algorithmically attempts to identify the meaning of a resource.Additionally, people can find and bookmark web pages that have not yet been noticed or indexed by web spiders. Moreover, a social bookmarking system can rank a resource based on how many times it has been bookmarked by users, which may be a more useful metric for end users than systems that rank resources based on the number of external links pointing to it (although both types of ranking are susceptible to fraud and both require technical countermeasures to try to deal with this).DisadvantagesInformal vocabulariesWhen it comes to search data, there:Are drawbacks to tag-based systems<br />Is no standard set of keywords<br />Is no standard for the structure of such tags (eg, singular vs plural, capitalization),<br />Is mistagging due to spelling errors<br />Are tags that can possibly be ambiguous, which can appear often<br />Are unclear tags due to synonym/antonym confusion<br />Is no mechanism for users to indicate hierarchical relationships between tagsSpam and corruptionSocial bookmarking can also be vulnerable to corruption and collusion. Because of its popularity, some people think of it as a tool to use along with search engine optimization to make their website more visible. The more often a web page is submitted and tagged, the better the chance it has of being found. Spammers have started bookmarking the same web page several times and/or tagging each page of their website using a lot of popular tags, obliging developers to constantly adjust their security system to overcome abuses.ConclusionSocial bookmarking is an important way to organize resources and to make sure that those resources that are important to you are always at your fingertips. It is advantageous that there are several bookmarking options from which to choose and it is important to carefully choose the bookmarking site that is the most appropriate for you and your business and the one that gives you exactly what you need to grow your business and become more and more successful over time.We are pleased to provide you with the insightful comments contained herein.

Facebook and Twitter have very specific instructions for using their logos, but it seems that on the Internet, very few people are following those guidelines. If you have any questions, you should ask your attorney. Having said that, there are common practices that webmasters and bloggers are using to promote their brand on these social media sites.It is not legal to take someone else’s brand and alter it. But the Twitter and Facebook logo are everywhere and that is what has made these social media sites so famous. Facebook and Twitter both have trademarks on their logo and their iconography. For example, Twitter’s trademark is the little blue bird. They have their name and logo trademarked, therefore, you can not alter them.Their guidelines are important so pay attention to those guidelines in relation to their name and logo allowed use. Legally you can not take their brand or trademark and alter them. Both Facebook and Twitter do allow, however, certain kinds of things. Facebook allows webmasters to use the “F” in a square and use it on your branding and include text, for example, “Fan us on Facebook”. They do not allow you, however, to use the F in a different color or FB in a different color. These are their general guidelines. Twitter, on the other hand, does not want you to put a T in side of a blue square. So what you as a webmaster need to ask yourself is whether or not you want to comply with their general guidelines. If you have any questions, it is best to ask an attorney or read their guidelines on the Facebook or Twitter website.It is not recommended, for example, to use a little F or a little T on any of your online branding at all. A little T that says “Follow us on Twitter” or a little F that says “Fan us on Facebook” could actually cause your website to lose valuable traffic because all this does is encourage visitors to leave your website. It sends people away from your website to the social media giants. Instead, what is recommended is to employ the widgets that are available for webmasters to put on their site so that visitors can like you on Facebook or follow you on Twitter without leaving your website. The old way of doing things is sending someone away from your website. The new way is to keep your hard-earned visitors at your website. By using these widgets, visitors can become a fan or a follower without ever leaving your website. Keep visitors on your website while at the same time encouraging them to be fans or followers. It’s a win-win strategy.Your Blog and Your Web Hosting AccountContent marketing is a well-known successful way to market a business online without spending a great deal of money on advertising. Blogs are a main way to attract leads and educate prospects. With some companies, all their leads come from their blog and they do not need to do any advertising whatsoever. Instead of spending a great deal of money on advertising, these companies post 500 word articles to their blogs on a daily or weekly basis. Many business owners have been able to leave their 9-5 jobs because of blogging. These companies use blog posts as their number one strategy for advertising. Build a strong following by blogging. It is a great way to start without advertising and spending a great deal of money on a start-up. Blogging is a cost efficient way to build a company online. With your own web hosting account, you will have blogging software that makes it easy to get started blogging and posting your content on your own website or blog.Traits of Successful BloggersWhat are the traits that someone should have to become a successful blogger? Start with the notion that there are five roles that people play. Every person has at least one of these traits or roles.Five Traits of Successful BloggersAre you a dreamer? You are a visionary and you want to tell people about it.<br />Are you a good storyteller?<br />Are you a teacher?<br />Are you a persuader? Every person has an opinion.<br />Are you a curator? A collector of ideas is a helpful trait for blogging.The idea is to take that one trait that you have, recognize it, and build on it. Some people have more than one of the above traits, which is also good. An example is to take your trait and incorporate real-life events into a blog post. Successful bloggers have one trait and everybody does have one of these traits. If you have more than one or even all of these traits, it is even better. Some people have a natural tendency to blog. Ask your friends or family members to tell you which of these traits you have in your DNA. You will get some interesting feedback.Do You Need to Be a Good Writer to Be a Good Blogger?When people think of writing, they think of Pulitzer Prize winning books. That is not the case with blogging. With blogging, you need to be a great conversational writer. Do you have an easy, natural way to get your point across? If, for example, you can sit down with a person and have a drink with them and enjoy a good conversation with that person, you can be a blogger. As a blogger, you wouldn’t talk to that person like you are in a board room, but rather you would talk to that person like they were your friend. You need to be able to communicate in a way that builds rapport and relationships.How Is a Blog Writer Different Than an Article Writer?A blog writer is looking to start a relationship that is very personal. Your own opinion is infused in that writing. Even the structure of blog writing is different than articles. Your blog articles need to be intimate and give the reader a feel for who you are. It is very personal. Be a conversationalist. Have a dialogue that is easy for people to follow. Speak in every day terms and your blog writing will resonate with people. If you have trouble starting a blog article, you can always talk it out and record it, then transcribe it back into text format.Technology That Can Help You WriteThere are a lot of great technology options that can help you to write. Text-to-speech tools like “Dragon Naturally Speaking” let you talk and have it transcribed. If you have an iPhone, Siri will do it. Use your voice to write the article and save time. This technique is also helpful if you have trouble writing because it makes the task more of a conversation, rather than writing. This is exactly what blogging involves.It is not just about text. Video blogging is another way to advertise using blogging. Writing is only one way to express yourself on a blog.How Do You Decide if You Have What It Takes to Be a Blogger?Do you have an obsession with a topic? This goes beyond with a passion for a topic because if you are talking or writing about your topic every day, you must be borderline obsessed with the topic, otherwise you might not be able to sustain yourself on your topic. You don’t want blogging to be a chore so choose a topic that you are obsessed with.<br />Are there others like you? If you start a blog about a certain topic, you need to have an audience that is interested in your topic.<br />Assess whether you have a marathon or sprinter mind-set. Successful bloggers have one of these two mind-sets. In some cases, a successful blogger can take years. Define your craft, take time, put yourself in a zone of kicking out content, refining it, and realistically looking at what your vision is for your blog in two years. Expect nothing to happen for two years because blogging definitely takes time to become successful. In the beginning, don’t expect any re-tweets or comments for a while. For the first three years, you can literally have only one or two hundred visitors visiting your blog. When you finally figure out essentially the kinds of blogging strategies that “work” in your industry, that’s when you will see results. Eventually, it is very possible to have several hundred thousands of visitors to your blog which can lead to a completely sustainable business of your own as a result of blogging. It doesn’t have to take you that long to be successful. In the early days of blogging, no one really knew what they were doing. The good news is that now there are many strategies outlined on the Internet that can give you a head start. No point re-inventing the wheel.Tips on How to Create ContentStick with it. Know that you are fighting the good fight. Train your brain to notice potential topics by writing down every idea that pops into your head. It doesn’t matter if you are writing these ideas on post-it notes, index cards, or on your iPad. Just let your brain learn that every good idea is going to be noticed and used in some way.Turn content creation into a habit. Set aside some time for at least a couple of weeks when you tell yourself that it is your “time” to create content. Make a daily appointment with yourself. If you are a night person, set aside a couple of hours, for example, between 10:00 and midnight. Turn content creation into a habit. Content creation during your most productive time of day will help you to kick out some great material because it will become a habit.Done is better than perfect. Some great bloggers are such perfectionists and are constantly refining and refurbishing their content, but because they are never done with it, the content stays in their draft folder forever. You don’t want your content to stay unfinished. Just get your content out there. Get leverage with yourself by telling people how much content you plan on releasing. This will give you added motivation to deliver on what you have promised by increasing the frequency of your blog posts. You will feel like you need to follow through. Get content out on a regular basis, but be careful with the word “regular”. Be reasonable. Find your tempo and stick with it.How Do You Find Ideas for Topics to Write About?If you are super passionate about a certain topic, your friends and colleagues will ask you questions about it. Take notes of those questions because each one can be a blog post. Every time someone asks you a question, pay attention to it. Look at the news section at local book stores or other stores, such as Walmart, and take note of the headlines. What are the headlines and how are the other writers leading up to those headlines in their articles? Crack open the magazines to see how others are addressing news or general topics. It adds fuel to the fire and gives you quick ideas.Multi-purpose your content. If, for example, you give a presentation somewhere you can take that presentation and multi-purpose it into two or three blog posts, possibly even more. Metaphors are important. If you like to do something, you can use metaphors and write about them in many different ways. You can talk about a topic many different ways.How Do You Draw People to Your Blog?To get more readers, you need to be relevant. The daily news is your friend. Look at what is being talked about and find a way to connect it to your topic. This draws people into your blog. Tap into the trends of the moment. Hang out at the watering hole, like forums or other blogs and find out what the audience is being fed. Find out where the audience is hanging out and join in. Be helpful to that community and a fixture in that space. See what people want and jump in. Find out what people want, then write about it. People will see your advise and eventually, people will notice you and come to your blog.Content hubs are websites that collect a certain type of content and use that to attract an audience. For example, SlideShare is a content hub that collects presentations. They have a really large audience of people looking for presentations. Re-purpose your content and put them on those content hubs and your audience will grow exponentially. You will bring in readers from many different sources.When you write special reports and package them up in PDF format, take them and turn them into online special reports. Every page can be a blog post. Because the pages are interlinked, Google will see it as relevant and not only index it, but list it higher in searches. That type of content can become very successful. Drip the content out over time and Google will take notice of your interlinked content. If the content is focused on one theme, it will do really well.Email and BloggingThe connection between email and blogging is very important. Email is critical to a blogger. If you have an email list, you can get people back to your blog on a regular basis. When people join your opt-in email list, you should email those people to let them know whenever you have a new blog post. When things are on your mind, email the people on your list. It builds a relationship. Building a maintaining an email address list is absolutely necessary to build your success over time. If you have a blog, get an email opt-in form on your blog immediately. Most of the people that come to your blog are new after a new blog article is posted because RSS (really simple syndication) has a pull and draws people in. So, the advantage of capturing those visitors’ email addresses is that you can re-seize those peoples’ attention and mobilize them. Write a special report and a good piece of content and people will join your email list. By capturing names and email addresses, you can build a loyal following. When you have something to sell, your email list makes all the difference in the world. Some bloggers say that their email list is what feeds their family. Create a product and offer it to your subscribers.Your voice is unique. Everything that you have to say is important. There are a lot of bloggers out there, but you owe it to yourself to try. With all the blogging tips and strategies online, you can get up the learning curve very quickly and become a successful blogger.Web Hosting and BloggingWhich software should you use for blogging?

At best, you have 30 seconds to get your prospect to click on your image.Is your brand attracting the kind of attention you want or does your brand leave your traffic snoozing because it looks indistinguishable from every other brand out there?If your brand is less than exciting, don’t worry. I’m going to share with you five steps that will help your company brand soar above the competition.5 Steps to Make Your Brand Marketing Soar Above the CompetitionStep 1) Make sure your brand represents the essence of who you are.Your brand should accurately reflect your company’s reason for existence. Call this your mission, your vision, your Unique Selling Proposition.Whatever you call it, the more clarity you have on why you are in business, the more your brand will accurately portray the essence of who you are as a company.The result? You will increase your name recognition and brand awareness. If who you are is reflected accurately in your business image, your prospects will be naturally attracted to your brand and ultimately the products or services you are offering, which will increase your bottom line. Further, congruence between image and essence translates to customer trust and loyalty.In other words, your brand delivers what you promise. When your brand does not accurately reflect your business, your prospects may feel jipped. LIke you overpromised and underdelivered. You do not want your brand reflecting this bad business modus operandi!Step 2) Make sure your brand is specifically tailored to your target market.When you aim at nothing, you will hit nothing. You need to completely understand the customers or clients you are trying to reach. The more detailed description you have of your ideal client, the better your brand will be, the more magnetic your brand will be.You cannot be all things to all people. That is impossible. Instead, find your niche and research this niche thoroughly.Don’t know where to start? Often, the best place to start is an audience for whom you have an affinity. One that you can relate to.Are you a mother? Then market to moms!Are you passionate about real estate? Market to fellow realtors!Do you love animals? Then market to fellow animal lovers!I think you get the idea. Whatever market you choose, outline specific details like education level, geographic location, gender, marital status, income level, interests, etc.Keep this in mind when developing your brand. If you need to, cut out a picture that encapsulates your target market and stick it to your computer monitor. Never forget WHO you are in business for!Because when you remember your target audience in your branding, your marketing is more effective. You will reach the specific people who are interested in your product or service and your profits will soar!Step 3) Make sure your brand does not come across as amateurish.Do it yourself logos and “custom” designs are a dime a dozen. But buyer beware! A cookie cutter logo may not do your company justice! And it may look, in fact, amateurish.When your brand does not come across as professional, it shows to your prospects that you do not treat your business seriously. And if you do not treat your business seriously, then what does that mean about your product or service and the customer service that comes with that product or service?A cheap brand comes across as just that–cheap. And cheap brands are indistinguishable from the competition, which means your brand gets left in the dust.Don’t let that happen to you. If you want to design your logo yourself or buy a stock logo, at least do research on what makes an effective image and what makes a cheap image. Do your homework and your brand will soar above the competition!Step 4) Make sure you include a photograph of yourself in your branding to convey trust.Today’s marketing is relational. The Internet is vastly anonymous and your prospects are scared of scams. Your prospects may also be tired of corporations “running the show” and prefer to work with someone real, down to earth.Including a photograph of yourself with your brand will help build trust with your prospects.But make sure it is a good photograph! It may be worth the investment to hire a professional photographer. If you decide not to hire a photographer, at least make sure you find a person you trust to take your photograph.Like a logo, a cheap photograph translates to a worthless product or service. Your customers will not be drawn to your page and you will be again left in the dust behind your competition.Step 5) Make sure you apply your brand consistently across all mediums.Applying your brand consistently or the same to your business cards to your website to your email marketing to your social marketing will increase your brand awareness and name recognition.You want your prospect, when they click on a banner to your website, to instantly be able to recognize your page as the same entity.Or when a prospect clicks on your landing page for your ezine offer, you want that ezine to have consistent branding with that web page. Otherwise, your new subscriber will unsubscribe you because they don’t remember you!Remember, it takes at least seven exposures of a product or service to make a sale. So building a consistent brand across all mediums is building a brand awareness that will result in more leads and more sales. It is also building trust. It shows your prospects that you are serious about your business and they can depend on your product or service to solve their particular problems. And when your prospects feel like you can solve their problems, your profits will soar and your competition be left in the dust!Practice these steps above and you will find that your prospects aren’t snoozing anymore at your images, but instead, your brand sizzles, soaring above your competition and resulting in a better bottom line! </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://henlumsms.info/branding-in-marketing-5-steps-to-make-your-brand-marketing-soar-above-the-competition/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Benefits Associated With Online Education</title> <link>http://henlumsms.info/benefits-associated-with-online-education</link> <comments>http://henlumsms.info/benefits-associated-with-online-education#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2023 19:06:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://henlumsms.info/?p=51</guid> <description><![CDATA[Technological advancements have shown its effects in almost every field today and education is no exception to it.

This would include post-secondary education, but also private school and alternative schools. Since the workforce has become so competitive, more education has constantly been touted as the solution to assuring a good paying job. It is a moving target because the world of work is changing rapidly, and a degree of 5 years ago may be obsolete today. Since the cost of education has risen so quickly, the payoff from getting a good education is getting smaller and more risky. Interest on student loans is also getting more expensive simply because it takes longer to pay them off.What Do You Need?Given this backdrop, how do you save for an education? This could be for your child or for yourself, since many adults have to go back to school due to job market instability or career change. There are some key points to keep in mind. What kind of education is needed? If you have done your homework, you may find that education may not cost as much as you thought, or you don’t need as much schooling as you thought. Education is a very individual thing, so you need to know yourself or your child before you commit a lot of money. Narrow down what you would like to do and then research the alternative ways of obtaining the credentials you would need to get there. There is the option of a university degree, but there are also college courses, trades, designations offered by an association, or volunteer and apprenticeship opportunities for obtaining the credentials. More jobs are requiring a license or certification, so part of the research would be to find out what licenses are available and what is involved in obtaining and maintaining the license. Some occupations have multiple licenses so it would be wise to target the one that works best for your situation.When Do You Need it?Timing is very important with education as with most things in life. The longer you can wait, the more options you have with respect to choosing what you want to do and saving for it. The trade off is that the more time you have, the more uncertainty exists because things can change over time. To get the most from education, it has to be easily upgraded and versatile enough to change with the times. It may be a good idea to start with a general course of study and then zero in on something more specific after you have worked in the field and know exactly what you would need to specialize further. If something changes along the way, the general degree is still useful, but the specialty can be changed to suit whatever is needed at the time.What About the Saving Part?When it comes to a large purchase, there are some general concepts that are helpful. The larger the purchase, the earlier you should save for it and the more useful it will be to plan what you want to do. The planning will be easier if you know what you want, or you have the flexibility to make changes to the plan and continue to reach your target. There are many vehicles out there to help you save for education. Some of these are discussed below. For trades and apprenticeships, specific research should be done to determine if there are specific programs out there to encourage people to study in these areas.Scholarships and Student LoansThere are many scholarships, grants and pockets of money available for people who want to go to school. Since the education costs are rising so quickly, these funds are presented as a way to ease the financial burden. There are also possibilities of obtaining student loans. The interest is tax deductible, but debt in general can be expensive and it will accumulate if it is not paid off early. Research is required into scholarships and bursaries as many of them are specific to certain fields and have specific requirements.RESPThe RESP is typically designed to save for children’s education, but it can also be used for adult education. Government grants can be used to add more money than would be available with an RRSP or TFSA. If the money is not used by one of your children, it can be transferred without penalty to another child. It can also be transferred to an RRSP if education is not pursued, but the contribution room has to be available. The accounts can stay open for 36 years, so the good news is that this transfer can take place over time. The money contributed is not taxed, but the income is when withdrawn.TFSAThe whole idea behind the RESP is to provide savings to pay for your education. So why not use the TFSA for the same thing? The RESP may have an advantage in that there are government grants offered, and you can contribute more money in general. The TFSA has the advantage of being simpler and having fewer restrictions. If you don’t go to school, there are no penalties to leaving the money in the account, and no time restrictions as to how long the account can stay open. In terms of investment, you can produce the same returns in an RESP as a TFSA. Returning money back into the TFSA is also less restrictive than an RESP. TFSA money that is withdrawn is also not taxed.RRSPWhat about the RRSP? The RRSP is designed for retirement, so using it for something prior to retirement is generally not considered. The tax implications are different for RRSP withdrawals versus the RESP or TFSA, but given the right situation, it may be more advantageous than going into debt. If you have years with low income because you are in school, this may be a perfect opportunity to withdraw money with a low tax burden. Combining that with tuition and education credits generated from going to school could mean withdrawing money with very low tax rates. If your retirement is taken care of or can be replenished at a later date, this strategy may be worth considering. If you have a spouse with a high income, you may want to consider a spousal RRSP for the spouse to replenish your RRSP and create a tax refund for them. There are tax implications when it is time to withdraw from the spousal RRSP, and this should be considered as well as part of the tax plan.Tax CreditsIf you go to school full time or part time at an institution, you will be able to claim tuition credits and education amounts against federal and provincial taxes. These credits will be paid during study and after graduation, which would be useful if you have generated income once your study is over. These credits can be helpful to reduce the taxes you pay and get back some of the money you have paid for the education. If you borrowed money for schooling, you can also claim interest on the student loans in most cases. These credits can be carried forward indefinitely, which means you can benefit from them whenever you earn income and you will not need to worry about the benefit expiring. Should you get a tax refund as a result of the education expenses, this can be put toward paying part of the student loans generated during your time studying.What Additional Options Are There for Adults?If the reason for getting education is for upgrading a career or making a career change, there are other possibilities. You may obtain a basic degree that covers your field of expertise and then negotiate with the employer to study something more specific. This means that the employer may pay for some or all of the education expenses. The advantages of this are that you get to keep your job, and some of the expenses will be covered for you. This method can also be used for designations since a designation adds credibility for the employer. If you are considering asking your employer to do this, remember that they will do it as far as it benefits the company and its image. If you are being recruited for a new position and you are a prize candidate, you may want to add education as a benefit for taking on a new position. Employers may tell you that there is not enough money in the budget for your education, but this can always change if the value can be demonstrated to them with numbers.If you are currently working, choose to study designations that can be done while you work to minimize time off work, financial stress and career disruption. This also enhances your profile as an employee and may lead to some help in terms of money or more study time. The downside is that studying while you work is time consuming and may take away from other aspects of your life.Networking is always touted as a way to get to unadvertised jobs. Networking is also useful in obtaining information in all other career areas. If you are thinking of obtaining a designation or studying a course, find someone in your company or in a similar company who has done it recently and find out what their experience was. This would include time spent, resources allocated to them, or promotional opportunities. If they negotiated funds to help pay for their education, ask them how they did it and what issues came up. If you don’t know which degree or course would be most beneficial, this can also be researched. People who you network with can also provide help with studying or obtaining resources.In some cases, it may not be worthwhile to study further because the costs outweigh the benefits. It can also be true that some avenues of study have a good chance of being worthwhile, and some other avenues have a high probability of not being worthwhile. Also, a decision that was wise 10 years ago may not be useful today due to employment paying much less in a particular field, or competition becoming much more intense as to not make it worthwhile to work there. Coming back to the first paragraphs, knowing your goals and what you want to achieve will be key in determining what decisions should be made. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://henlumsms.info/how-do-i-save-for-education/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>S&P 500 Rallies As U.S. Dollar Pulls Back Towards Weekly Lows</title> <link>http://henlumsms.info/sp-500-rallies-as-u-s-dollar-pulls-back-towards-weekly-lows</link> <comments>http://henlumsms.info/sp-500-rallies-as-u-s-dollar-pulls-back-towards-weekly-lows#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Oct 2022 05:47:45 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Advertising]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Branding]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Business Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Careers Employment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Consulting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Furnishings and Supplies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Industrial Mechanical]]></category> <category><![CDATA[International Business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Interviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Networking]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sales Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sales Training]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Security]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Small Business]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://henlumsms.info/?p=42</guid> <description><![CDATA[Key Insights The strong pullback in the U.S. dollar provided significant support to stocks.
