These land use laws and zoning requirements regulate how real estate is used and developed. Each state has municipalities that look after how property is used within their boundaries. These municipalities deal with all sorts of legal issues, including easements and eminent domain. An easement lets a non-owner of a property use the land. Eminent domain is when the government uses its right to buy private property for public use.These laws and regulations are set up to protect the health, safety and well-being of the public. They basically regulate how land is used and focus on preventing overcrowding and incompatibility as it affects the environment. They also are aimed at looking at not only the transit requirements within an area, but also at providing a safe environment for pedestrians. Land use laws and zoning regulations are used by local governments to watch over how their communities are developed and maintained. Their main purpose is to protect neighborhoods by regulating businesses and industry and by managing traffic flowing through these neighborhoods. These laws oversee and control construction within local boundaries. Zoning regulations include how high a building can be built and how massive it can be. Regulations also include such things as density, signage and parking allowances.Zoning restrictions can sometimes be avoided. To do this, a property owner must apply for a variance that will allow him to do something to his property that is against a zoning regulation. This variance lets a property owner avoid certain zoning laws but generally the owner must appear at a public hearing or at least meet with the planning commission. The owner must prove that the variance will allow him to avoid a hardship that would result from a zoning code. The owner must also give proof that the variance he is asking for won’t adversely affect neighboring properties.Land use laws and zoning requirements often receive criticism because they seem to violate civil rights. People who own their land often think that they have the right to do whatever they choose with their property. Others feel that the economic efficiency of a given property is hindered somewhat by stringent zoning restrictions. However, advocates of these regulations see it differently. They feel that by placing certain restrictions on some land parcels, there is an overall benefit to the surrounding properties because their value is increased. </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/land-use-laws-and-zoning-regulations-the-good-and-the-bad/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Your Life Insurance Questions Answered</title> <link>https://pddklln.info/your-life-insurance-questions-answered</link> <comments>https://pddklln.info/your-life-insurance-questions-answered#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 06 Apr 2023 21:36:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[insurance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[life insurance]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://pddklln.info/?p=77</guid> <description><![CDATA[What is Life Insurance?

It helps to protect your family financially when you’re no longer around and can be used to pay towards Inheritance tax, replace a secondary income, and pay essential bills and expenses. You don’t want that feeling that your family could be struggling when you’re not around. Investing in Life Insurance gives you that reassurance and peace of mind that if something were to suddenly happen to you, there will be support for your family.How old do you have to be to take out Life Insurance?<br />When applying for Life Insurance, your age doesn’t matter you can be as young as 18 or as old as 64 years old. You do have to be a permanent resident of the UK though to take out a Life Insurance policy. However remember the older you get the more expensive the policy will be; because the older you get the more likely you are to pass away earlier.How many different types of policies are there?<br />There are two different types of Life Insurance, one called ‘Term Insurance’ which is usually cheaper and ‘Whole of Life Insurance’ which covers you throughout your life so therefore tends to be more expensive. Term Insurance usually runs for a set period of 25 years where the policy covers you if something bad were to happen to you. It would then pay out a cash lump sum to your family members and loved ones. The Whole of Life insurance pays out a lump sum too.Are their different types of term and whole of life insurance?<br />There is only one type of ‘Whole of Life’ insurance, which covers you for the whole of your life but tends to be more expensive. It also helps protect your family financially when you aren’t around any longer, whereas the term insurance runs for a set period, so if you pass away after the set period your family will not receive a pay out. There are types of Term Insurances, which offer different things for you; these are listed below.Family Income Benefit: This form of Life Insurance helps to provide a second income to your family each month, to help replace yours when you are not around. It pays a monthly tax-free cash lump sum to your loved ones and children. It can be purchased as a ‘add-on’ to your current policy or as a policy alone; this policy is normally chosen by people with kids as it’s best suited for families. You don’t want your children to suffer too much and having financial help set up will help create a future for them.Level Term Insurance: This Life Insurance policy won’t rise during inflation and has a set payment over a set period of time. For example, if you were to claim a few months into the policy or 20 years, the amount paid out to your loved ones will stay the same. It ensures your policy payment won’t change and protects your family and loved ones if something bad and unexpected were to happen to you. It’s a good policy to take out if you want a set amount of money that you want to be paid out to your loved ones after your death. The money is normally used to cover the cost of mortgages.Decreasing Term Insurance: It’s in the name really; the policy decreases on a flat rate as the policy runs in line with the balance remaining. It’s normally used to pay for mortgages. It is paid out as a lump sum, if something were to happen to you, to your loved ones.Increasing Term Insurance: Like Term Insurance the amount you are insured for changes each month, but in this case it rises with inflation. The premiums may change but the cover is always based on the health of yourself when you first took the policy out.How much does Life Insurance cost?<br />It all depends on a range of circumstances such as; how old you are, your Body Mass Index, general living style and whether you have smoked within the last year. All provider’s or policyholders will check your health before hand so it is worth getting fit and healthy to save yourself a lot of money in the long run. It also depends on the type of policy you take out and whether you purchase any ‘add-ons’. It’s good to compare policies and see which is right for you before you end up paying or not paying for something you may or may not need. The younger you are and the healthier you are; the cheaper it is.If I write my Life Insurance in trust will my loved ones still pay Inheritance tax?<br />No, they won’t on the insurance policy; the policy bypasses the tax scheme as you have written it in trust. It means that your Life Insurance policy will not be counted within the total amount of assets you have. Therefore protecting the lump sum of money from Inheritance tax. It goes straight to your family and loved ones. This doesn’t mean to say they won’t have to pay any Inheritance tax altogether. They will still need to pay for 40% of tax on assets over £325,000. As your Life Insurance policy is no longer included within your assets, as it is written in trust, your family has a lesser chance of paying Inheritance tax. Although if they do have to pay Inheritance tax it will still help to reduce the amount they pay. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/your-life-insurance-questions-answered/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>All Grown Up – Why Your Small Business Needs A Web Solution, Not A Website</title> <link>https://pddklln.info/all-grown-up-why-your-small-business-needs-a-web-solution-not-a-website</link> <comments>https://pddklln.info/all-grown-up-why-your-small-business-needs-a-web-solution-not-a-website#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 06 Apr 2023 19:08:46 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Business]]></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://pddklln.info/?p=75</guid> <description><![CDATA[Raise your hand if you have a website for your small business.

Now keep it raised if it is generating a significant volume of prospects or sales. Not holding your hand up anymore? You are not alone.Just a few years ago, small companies flocked to the web in droves, rushing to post their first website, anxious at the prospect of low-cost instant exposure. The web was going to be the great equalizer, putting small business on par with the big brand names, dangling the promise of visitors flocking to a company’s site to purchase its wares or partake in its services. Sound familiar? Unfortunately, for most small businesses and organizations, the promise fell short and company sales did not skyrocket from an unending march of site visitors.So, what happened? For one, the web quickly became ultra competitive. Millions of sites sprang up in every business category making it virtually impossible to be found in the search engines. What little bit of traffic the businesses may have enjoyed when the site was first launched began to dry up. Also, as the web evolved to become a more interactive user experience, it became more technologically complex and many small business websites did not keep up. The other part of the problem was in the approach; not understanding that just putting together a website, even a pretty one, and finding some faceless company offering cheap web hosting services is not likely to make you the next great success story. A large hurdle that many small business owners and managers face is the tendency to compartmentalize the web into a few oversimplified tasks: grab a cheap domain name, find a budget small business website design and development person, look for some impossibly low-priced website hosting, and then expect their website to magically appear on page one of Google. Unfortunately, this ends up being a waste of time and money.A Solutions-Based Approach with Professional GuidanceTo create an effective web presence requires a solutions-based approach with clear ideas about what you want to accomplish and who the audience is you are targeting. The right elements have to be present; a well orchestrated website design with cohesive branding, solid technical acumen, clearly defined objectives for the organization, reliable small business web hosting services and some method of marketing your site and tracking the results. The web is constantly evolving and search engine competition is fierce. Being successful on the web requires consistently evaluating the site’s effectiveness based on your objectives, understanding the latest technologies and trends, having a dynamic website marketing plan and constantly fine tuning.While you don’t have to spend a fortune to create real value on the web, you should also be realistic. Understand that being successful will require an investment that you should plan for and a clear vision of how your website fits into the goals and objectives of the organization. If you don’t have the experience and technical resources in-house, working with a professional web solutions provider, preferably one specializing in small business web design and development can provide great benefits. A good starting point in the process is to have an understanding of the core elements that are part of a successful website strategy and how they fit together.The Elements of a Web Solution1) Domain names – Choosing the right domain name is an important branding decision which impacts how your organization is perceived and also how it is found in the search engines. Purchasing from a cheap bulk registrar or choosing can spell trouble.2) Website Design & Development Services – Find a provider that specializes in small business web design and development. An organization that offers a solutions-based approach can assist your company in doing thorough needs analysis and in designing all of the elements to work well together. First impressions count!3) E-mail Management – E-mail is a key communication tool for your business. The right system will help you maximize communications within the company, on the road and with your customers.4) Social Media – Social media such as blogging, Podcasting and other web 2.0 tools can greatly enhance customer communications. Your web services company should be able to help you evaluate how social media tools can best benefit your web presence and business objects.5) Small Business Website Hosting Services – All web hosting is NOT created equal. There are many nuances and technical consideration involved with hosting solutions. It is best to stay away from budget hosting companies. Look for a managed hosting provider who can help you select the right plan for your web solution goals, get your website up and running and support you as it grows and evolves.6) Website Maintenance – How will your site be maintained and updated? Having both small business web development and managed web site hosting as a package is immensely helpful for maximizing web server resources, identifying problems and keeping the site maintained and updated.7) E-Commerce – Will you be actually selling on your site or using it for lead generation or information dissemination? If you are selling products, who will create and maintain your product database. How will transactions be handled? What about web server requirements? Working with a professional can help ensure you make the right choices for your e-commerce site.8) Business Process Interaction (database development, customer relationship management, integration with your business management systems) – A website needs to be more than just an ad on the Internet to be effective as a business tool. There are many ways the web can be used to improve your business processes and integrate with your existing systems such as accounting or contact management.9) Website Marketing – How will people find you on the web? Will you optimize your site for organic search or employ paid marketing techniques or a combination? What directories should you list your site in? Search engine marketing has evolved to be a complex specialty. It’s critical that you understand the tools available for driving traffic to your site and if needed, know how to evaluate and engage a web marketing specialist.10) Website Analytics and Conversion – Having a great site isn’t enough if your visitors aren’t doing what you intended; buying something, contacting your company or using your site for an information source. Does your site have usability issues? What kind of reporting will you use to track site visitors? What do you need to know and do to convert your visitors into action-takers?It’s a Process and a Work in ProgressWhile there is certainly a lot to think about, creating the best possible website solution for your business doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Your website can and should be a work in progress, evolving as your business grows. Because most small businesses do not have an internal IT staff to handle the technical elements of web development and planning, working with a web solutions provider that specializes in small business website hosting services and small business web design and development is a good start. Such an organization can help you identify your goals, manage the technical aspects of your site and guide you in your marketing efforts. They can also help you work within your budget to develop a plan that combines all the elements into a cohesive whole for creating and maintaining a successful web presence.Conclusion The web has grown up to be a terrific marketing medium for small businesses and organizations. Done right, it can be the most cost effective and powerful marketing and communication tool in your arsenal. The promise is still there. However, to truly leverage the power of the web, it is important to take a good, hard look at the website you currently have or the one you are thinking about creating. The elements of a successful web presence: small business web hosting, website design and development and web marketing are only the framework for a well thought-out web solution designed to reach your customers and truly benefit your business. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/all-grown-up-why-your-small-business-needs-a-web-solution-not-a-website/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>A Guideline For Your Spa Travel Plan</title> <link>https://pddklln.info/a-guideline-for-your-spa-travel-plan</link> <comments>https://pddklln.info/a-guideline-for-your-spa-travel-plan#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 06 Apr 2023 17:19:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Adventure Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Airline Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Aviation Airplanes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Budget Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Camping]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Car Rentals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Charter Jets]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Outdoors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sailing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Travel and Leisure]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Travel Planning]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vacation Homes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Vacation Rentals]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://pddklln.info/?p=73</guid> <description><![CDATA[Spa Travel is being chosen for the most of people to get relaxation, refreshing and rejuvenation.

Modern home security systems boast state of the art wireless technologies, 24 hour monitoring, smoke detection and a host of value added services including emergency call, medic alert, vehicle response and more. While this is great protection for the family home, with such a vast array of home security products available its often difficult to gage your individual home security needs. My advice consult a security expert. Not a smooth talking technology salesman, but a licensed security installer who is prepared to come out to your property, conduct a thorough security appraisal and then work with you to find a home security system that fits both your needs and budget.Home security is more than a big dog, or a loud alarm, or a high tech electronic gate and CCTV monitored driveway system. As every house has its own natural security strengths and weaknesses there is no one security system or security plan that fits all properties. It is for this reason that a quality home security system needs to be custom designed to suit your property.There are many reputable companies who sell proven, sophisticated home security systems but without a proper appraisal of your home security vulnerabilities and an awareness of the range of home security product options available today you could be selling yourself short on both protection and cash.The money you save not by utilizing the planning services of a specialist security consultant/installer is quickly lost when your home security system is breached. You can replace items but never the sentiment attached to the original, so be smart and use a professional licensed home security planner and installer. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/home-security-system-advice/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Business Process Vs Project Management Process</title> <link>https://pddklln.info/business-process-vs-project-management-process</link> <comments>https://pddklln.info/business-process-vs-project-management-process#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 02 Apr 2023 00:26:30 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Management]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://pddklln.info/?p=69</guid> <description><![CDATA[All attendees of “Project Management… by the Numbers” know that every project is a project within another project(!).

In other words, every project we manage is a part of another bigger project. So, what is the difference between a business process and a project management process?Let’s begin the answer with an example…The CEO of the organization believes the project is to bring a new product to market. Let us call the product the Wireless Internet Waffle Iron (WiWi).The CEO knows he/she has a process to get the WiWi though his company. This includes identifying the best possible WiWi and all the way to sustaining the WiWi when it is sold to the consumer.The company has a published plan based on stages for this process (for example; Stage 1 – Ideation, Stage 2 – Assessment, Stage 3 – Feasibility, Stage 4 – Development, Stage 5 – Commercialization, Stage 6 – Sustainment), in order to get the WiWi from one stage to another.Most often, the process progresses by passing the responsibility of the project from one group to the next along the way of each stage. It does make sense that Engineering manages the conceptual work and Marketing manages the marketing.Because of this process, the CEO passes the project to his direct reports with confidence that the project can now be managed on time, on budget and that the Wireless Internet Waffle Iron will be exactly as envisioned.Working with my clients, I have identified this scenario hundreds times over the years and it is easy to recognize this as a “business process” as this is how the business (company) views the work as a project.Now, back to our scenario…The WiWi project is running behind schedule because the assessment stage took longer than planned and the project is running over budget because the feasibility stage was not properly analyzed up front. Now you (the next project manager in line) have been assigned the development stage and are expected to bring the project back on time and schedule as well as manage all the work the development stage requires.All this time the CEO continues to have confidence in his people and processes that the WiWi project will be on time, cost and objectives. You are backed in the corner with this (can’t let the CEO down) and have to cut corners as they did during the feasibility stage.After some major frustration, a few all-nighters and some creative reporting, you breathe a sigh of relief and can pass the project with all of its problems to the next group in the process line. Unfortunately, the WiWi is still over budget and running even later.What we have described above is a classic business process that is mistaken for a project management process. The difference is that the business process sees the product as the project, not the stages or even the tasks as individual projects.Business processes are absolutely necessary for management to plan and work from, but if we view each stage and task as a project, and the leader of each stage and the doer of each task as a project manager, then we will have an accountability chain within the project. Back to our scenario… but this time as a Project Management Process.The Four Phases of a Project Management Process…Phase One – Concept/FeasibilityThe WiWi has been dropped into the business process by the CEO. The person that is leading the Ideation Stage must consider this stage a project within itself, and themselves as the Project Manager.Ideation is a part of the WiWi project, but has its own separate time, cost and objectives. These must be defined and agreed to by the Ideation Phase Project Manager and a Project Customer (maybe the Project Customer has to be the CEO!).Before agreement can happen, the Ideation Stage Project Manager has to be convinced his/her part of the WiWi Project can be accomplished within the time, cost and objective constraints given. In order to determine the true TCO vs. the goal TCO, each member of the Ideation Project Team must view their tasks as projects with themselves as the Task Project Manager and the Ideation Stage Project Manager as their Project Customer. Each person then follows the same project management process to gain agreement that their tasks can be accomplished to the individual time cost and objective constraints given.When the entire team agrees all tasks can be done based on individual concept/feasibility studies, agreement can be reached or negotiated between the Ideation Stage Project Manager and the WiWi Project Manager.Wahoo – Phase 1 done!Phase Two – Organization/ScheduleThe Ideation Stage Project Manager now has agreement at a high level to TCO of the Ideation Stage, so it is time now to do detailed planning and scheduling of the Ideation Stage Project of the WiWi Project.After reconfirming tasks and team members schedules, a critical path analysis is completed by the Ideation Phase Project Manager (including detailed costs) and run by the Ideation Phase Project Customer for another agreement and:Phase Three – ExecutionDouble Wahoo – It’s time to actually do all the Ideation Stage tasks.The Ideation Stage Project Manager manages the critical path tasks, people and budget, and in turn delivers the Ideation Stage Project to the Project Customer.The Ideation Stage is almost complete (not quite, but almost) because:Phase Four – Review/AuditNow it is time to review the project management during the Ideation Stage Project. Did we do enough concept/feasibility? Did the team members follow-through on their promises? How can we improve the project management process? Etc.Your part of the WiWi Project, the Ideation Stage Project, has been successfully managed by using a project management process. I think a party is now in order, don’t you?So, back to our original question: What is the Difference between a Business Process and a Project Management Process?The answer: The difference is that the business process sees the product as the project, not the stages or even the tasks as individual projects.We as everyday project managers are responsible for the successful completion of the time, cost and objectives of our piece of the Wireless Internet Waffle Iron Project, not the whole thing.If you are the CEO (or the CEO’s designated authority) and want the WiWi on time, on cost and on objectives, then consider each stage within the business process a project and allow the project management process to work.But for now, back to us, the Project Managers. When you get your assignment, whether it is a stage or a task, ask who your Project Customer is and stick to the four project management phases of your specific work.Phase One – Concept/Feasibility (What is it?)<br />Phase Two – Organization/Schedule (How to do it?)<br />Phase Three – Execution (Doing it!)<br />Phase Four – Review/Audit. (How did we do?)Now THAT’S a project management process! </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/business-process-vs-project-management-process/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Real Value of Woodworking Plans</title> <link>https://pddklln.info/the-real-value-of-woodworking-plans</link> <comments>https://pddklln.info/the-real-value-of-woodworking-plans#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Apr 2023 13:52:40 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Internet and Businesses Online]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://pddklln.info/?p=67</guid> <description><![CDATA[The first thing I ever tried to construct out of wood, as a boy of seven years, was a soapbox derby racing car.

I planned to make it out of wood pieces and metal pieces I found lying around. I soon found out that I had absolutely no idea of how to do this. I bent over nails and hit my thumb with the hammer many times. Soon, I felt overwhelmed and surrendered completely. I could have used some adult help and I certainly could have utilized a good set of plans.Many years later, I emerged as a professional woodworker and furniture designer and president of a corporation that made hand-made, custom furniture for well-do-do clients. In between the soapbox derby car and the furniture corporation, I made a lot of mistakes and learned from each one of them. What assisted me in the beginning was the revelation that reasonable woodworking plans were to be had that could show me how to make things out of wood. I discovered that some plans were badly drawn and often ambiguous, which left me scratching my head about what I ought to do next.Sometimes, I would find well-thought-out, well-drawn, step-by-step plans that I could actually use. They had not only finished, easy-to-follow drawings, they had clearly-written, detailed directions and a precise catalog of materials needed. I discovered that with this type of plan, I could not lose.To start, I would look for plans that I admired and then follow them exactly to the end. I absorbed a lot of basic, intermediate and advanced woodworking abilities from doing this. As I grew, I would use plans that I felt secure in changing to my taste, just a bit, here and there. As time went on and my abilities developed, I tried drawing my own plans, thus giving an outlet to my individual creativity.To date, I never initiate a project without a plan in my hands, whether it be someone else’s plan or my own. So, I guess what I am pointing out is that the beginning woodworker should consider following someone else’s plans precisely and then, as his or her woodworking skills evolve, branch out into changing plans and even drawing your own plans.Am I done with following pre-made plans? Not at all! In fact, I continue to make use of them. Now, at the very least, they give me ideas for projects that most likely would have never entered my mind. They are quite effective for constructing things around the house, inside and out.Are you excited at the thought of initiating a new woodcraft project, learning new skills and building what is drawn in the plans to a textbook finish? There are plans for beginner, intermediate and advanced expertise levels so you can straightforwardly pick a plan that is in concert with what you have learned previously and what you are ready to learn.I was going to say “Good Luck” to you but following these expertly-crafted plans has very little to do with luck or skill. All you need to know how to do is follow simple, clearly written directions. So, instead, I’ll just close with “Have Fun” and “Be Proud” of the end result!Bob Gillespie<br />WoodworkerAbout the Author: </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/the-real-value-of-woodworking-plans/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Top 10 Marketing Tools for Your Online Business Website</title> <link>https://pddklln.info/top-10-marketing-tools-for-your-online-business-website</link> <comments>https://pddklln.info/top-10-marketing-tools-for-your-online-business-website#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 01 Apr 2023 02:21:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[accounting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[business]]></category> <category><![CDATA[companies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[google]]></category> <category><![CDATA[near me]]></category> <category><![CDATA[offices]]></category> <category><![CDATA[restaurant]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sale]]></category> <category><![CDATA[services]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://pddklln.info/?p=64</guid> <description><![CDATA[Does your website mean business?

How is your percentage of online sales growing? How do you choose among the vast and ever growing array of online marketing tools to give your online business website a boost? Here is the top 10 list of tools I recommend for the participants in my internet marketing workshops. If you set these up, and use them effectively, you will be far ahead of the game.Hardware<br />Even if you are not the workshop type, pay attention to your hardware. I’m amazed at the amount of frustration people tolerate with outdated equipment. This may seem like stating the obvious, but if you attend one of my workshops you will need a reasonably up-to-date portable computer with wireless card, charger, and power supply.<br />Firefox Web Browser<br />While it’s possible to use any modern browser for internet marketing, I strongly recommend Firefox, because some tools do not yet work with Internet Explorer. If you are not already using it, search on Firefox, and download the latest version. If you are already using Firefox, check that you have the latest version. In your Firefox browser click on Check for Updates from the Help menu.<br />SEO Toolbar<br />While you’re attending to Firefox, and add the SEOMoz toolbar. Think of this as your internet marketing Swiss Army Knife. Adding this to your toolbar will give you instant feedback on how your site stacks up against other sites in the eyes of Google and other search engines. Search on, download, and install SEOMoz toolbar.<br />Spreadsheet Program<br />If you want to build your business on the web, you will get nowhere without setting business goals, marketing goals, and measuring progress. Spreadsheets are simple and effective ways to do this. Check that your laptop has a spreadsheet program like Word. If not, you can get free office software including a spreadsheet program at:<br />For PC: search on OpenOffice<br />For Mac: search on OpenOffice for Mac<br />Word Processing Program<br />Don’t laugh. Getting found and doing business on the web is not about fancy tools, magic bullets, and over designed websites. It’s about generating original content that people want, will search to find, and will link to. While most modern websites have a content management system, to create really compelling articles, you will need a good word processing program like Word. You may need to you’re your work as a text file before uploading it to your website, but a good word processing program will help you in the planning and writing stags. Again, you can get free office software including a word processing program at the above website addresses.<br />Google Account<br />If you don’t already have a Google account, sign up for one. You will be using some of their free internet marketing tools. If you don’t have a Google account, sign up for one by searching on Google account new. Sign into your Google account and scroll down the page to My Products and set up the following:<br />Google AdWords Keyword Research Tool<br />Think of Google AdWords as your marketing research tool. You may not be ready to place ads. But, you can still use their free keyword research tool. Create an AdWords account.<br />Google Analytics<br />Think of Google Analytics as your internet marketing GPS. Properly configured, it allows you to get data to plug into your spreadsheet to see where you are in relation to your internet marketing goals. It’s best to set up Google Analytics linked to your Google AdWords account. Do this by logging into your AdWords account, and select Google Analytics from the Reporting and Tools drop-down menu. Follow the prompts and use your existing account information.<br />Google Webmaster Tools<br />Think of Google Webmaster Tools as a stethoscope to help you check your visibility on Google. Search on Google webmaster tools.<br />XML Sitemap Generator<br />A quality sitemap is important to get your pages indexed by search engines. Search on XML Sitemap Generator.There are many more internet marketing tools I could recommend. But these, in my opinion, are the ones to seriously improve your online business website performance. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/top-10-marketing-tools-for-your-online-business-website/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>4 Reasons The Study Of Organizational Behavior Is Imperative</title> <link>https://pddklln.info/4-reasons-the-study-of-organizational-behavior-is-imperative</link> <comments>https://pddklln.info/4-reasons-the-study-of-organizational-behavior-is-imperative#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Sep 2022 20:20:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Astronomy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Biology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[College University]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Future Concepts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Home Schooling]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Languages]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nature]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Online Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Psychology]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Reference and Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Schools]]></category> <category><![CDATA[teaching]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://pddklln.info/?p=62</guid> <description><![CDATA[The managers or entrepreneurs are the leaders who can shape the success of their organization.

For a successful run, a leader needs to ensure that the business carries out its internal and core operations Organizational Behavior plays a vital role in any enterprise’s success. It outlines the system in which the company will run, where it’ll fit in the industry and it also decides the future of the company. It defines the vision, mission, and goals of the company and outlines a way in which the members of the company will interact with each other. Thus, every manager or entrepreneur should learn the core principles of Organizational Behavior for the success of the business. Here are a few more reasons that exemplify the significance of the study of organizational behavior:</p><p>1. It helps in understanding the mission of the enterprise<br />Every organization has its quintessence or its purpose of carrying out the intended operations. Organizational behavior aids the entrepreneurs in defining the task of the organization- what a company will do and how it’ll do it. It defines an infrastructure that will be followed by the company throughout its run. It also emphasizes on establishing a mission statement that the company wants to achieve through its operations. The mission is not only monetary but it speaks of the company’s culture and aims at bringing a change in the lives of the customers, stakeholders and all the people involved with the company. The mission statement tells everyone about the goals of the organization and can be used to gauge the effectiveness of its operations.</p><p>2. It aids in establishing clear expectations<br />The organizational behavior not only helps in establishing a mission, but it also helps the managers or entrepreneurs in setting expectations for the employees, stakeholders as well as the customers. It helps in formulating the chain of command performed by each employee and also decides the kinds of vendors and customers the company should expect.</p><p>3. It helps in better decision making<br />The organizational behavior paves way for uniformity in the company and its core values. The establishment of the uniform mission, actions and messages facilitate the managers to make better decisions that are fruitful for the company. Organizational Behavior entails an identity to the organization so the managers can make their decision aligning with the nature of operations of the organization.</p><p>4. It ensures that managers hire the right person<br />The employees are the main pillars of organizational behavior. The people that bring new ideas and passion to the organization are considered as the perfect employees for the organization. If the organizational behavior is clearly defined, the newly employed candidates can easily understand their duties and it also makes easy for the managers to hire the right people and communicate with them effectively.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/4-reasons-the-study-of-organizational-behavior-is-imperative/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Would You Benefit From Making Early Payments on Your Auto Loan?</title> <link>https://pddklln.info/would-you-benefit-from-making-early-payments-on-your-auto-loan</link> <comments>https://pddklln.info/would-you-benefit-from-making-early-payments-on-your-auto-loan#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 14 Sep 2022 20:18:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Auto Loans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Budgeting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Commercial Loans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Credit]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Credit Tips]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Currency]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Debt Management]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Home Equity Loans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Loans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[PayDay Loans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Personal Finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Personal Loans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Property]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Student Loans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Trading]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://pddklln.info/?p=60</guid> <description><![CDATA[Monthly payments make up an important element of the auto loan.

The amount of money that you will pay each month depends on a number of things; such as the money you put down, the value of the car, loan term, your current income and credit score, etc. Many a times people wish to repay their auto loan earlier than their term or wish to get the loan refinanced. Understanding the effect of paying your loan early vis-à-vis making timely payments can help you in making a well-informed decision.</p><p>Pay Early or Pay on Time: The Auto Loan Question</p><p>· Are you interested in making Early Payments?</p><p>You know you are a financially adept individual when you think about paying your auto loan early rather than spending the money on frivolous things. The following pros and cons of prepayment will take you one step closer in making the right decision.</p><p>Pros: The reduction in the interest amount can help you save a great deal of money. Paying off your auto loan early gives you the financial freedom to use that money elsewhere. Secondly, if you are going to receive a large sum of money in the near future, it is wise to prepay your loan instead of spending it elsewhere. It will make your debt-free early and allow you to live a tension-free life.</p><p>Cons: Timely auto loan payments mean that you have planned your finances in an efficient way. If you repay your loan all at once, it may project that you are unable to manage your credit. Remember prepayment of your auto loan will not hurt your credit score, however, it will not improve the score either.</p><p>· Do you believe Timely Payments are a Good Choice in the Long Run?</p><p>Small payments made every month can surely have a positive impact on your credit rating. The following pros and cons will help you clarify the advantages and disadvantages of timely payments.</p><p>Pros: Timely payments made every month are certain to keep your credit score in check. Many a times people may forget to make the payments on time. However, automatic bank payments can help you to keep your payments regular. A shorter loan term with timely payments will help you in obtaining lower interest rates and an overall cheaper auto loan deal in the future.</p><p>Cons: An automatic timely payment means that you will have to maintain a certain balance in your bank account, which may temporarily block your finances. A certain amount of your income gets allocated to the monthly payment. Compared to a prepayment strategy, timely monthly payments carry less financial freedom.</p><p>Your Auto Loan Payment Schedule: What is Best for you?</p><p>Income is an important element that decides which option you should choose between paying your auto loan early and making timely payments. If your monthly payment is manageable and your income supports the loan, you should opt for timely payments. However, if your income source is unstable and you require a car on an immediate basis, you should opt to make a prepayment of your entire loan. On the basis of your financial situation and circumstances, make the wiser choice.</p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://pddklln.info/would-you-benefit-from-making-early-payments-on-your-auto-loan/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
