Legitimate online businesses exist everywhere, just like legitimate traditional businesses do. It is always a case of “buyer beware,” whether you are looking for legitimate online businesses to do from your home or you are looking for traditional businesses that involve multi-level marketing or network building ventures, for example.With the popularity of the Internet, many people that are skeptical of the existence of legitimate online businesses might be concerned when they read about unlimited income potential with little or no capital involved. This is understandable, but the truth is that there are many people that have become highly successful in traditional businesses before the Internet, with very little start-up capital, so it is possible. You should look for a few things when considering legitimate online businesses.The more you can find out about the company and the product, the better. Customer testimonials and attractive marketing tools can be helpful and should be considered. Read all of the fine print on any sales and promotional information and be well advised before putting money into any kind of business venture, whether online or not. These are just a few pointers you should consider when looking for legitimate online businesses.The thing to consider is that the Internet has opened the door to the possibility of unlimited income with little capital because it is a global market that operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Many legitimate online businesses can be built with little upfront investment through pay-per-click advertising, affiliate marketing programs and building your own website. These are just a few of the ways you can find legitimate online businesses that can help you become wealthy.Many people like to take advantage of advertising for legitimate companies by placing text ads in places and earning PPC or pay-per-click or commission-based sales rewards. For example, you place your written text ads on social networks, blogs and other places and you earn a commission each time they result in a transaction. There are many large companies that are building their online presence through a sales force that works from home and isn’t specially trained, in this way.When you are considering legitimate online businesses, you have to be open-minded about the way the Internet has changed the way people do business. This is the part that makes most people confused. Sure, there will be some online businesses that are scams, but they won’t be in business very long because the Internet has a way of spreading the word very quickly.The more you understand legitimate online businesses, the more sense they will start to make to you. Just because there are scams online and offline doesn’t mean you should pass up every opportunity that might come along. You never know when the perfect legitimate online businesses might present themselves. You just need to make knowledgeable decisions that are based on facts. If you don’t know them, there are plenty ways you can discover them on the Internet. </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://digvedams.info/51/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Wall Street to Main Street: News, Views and Commentary: June 15, 2006</title> <link>https://digvedams.info/48</link> <comments>https://digvedams.info/48#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 11 May 2023 18:59:52 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[basic finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance basics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance books]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance bros]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance career]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance degree]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance frauds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance kya hai]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance major]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance meaning]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance news]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance shorts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance stock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finance with sharan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fix finances]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fix my finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[learn finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mba finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mba finance jobs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mba in finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Personal Finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[public finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[raga finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[study finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[what is finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[yahoo finance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[yahoo finance premium]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://digvedams.info/?p=48</guid> <description><![CDATA[It’s Thursday June 15, 2006, and finally we had an up day, the market showed some strength pretty much for the entire trading session, granted it was modest but definitely a welcome sight.

The Nasdaq avoided making history by being down for a ninth day in a row and the S&P 500 broke that 7-month slide.Yesterday morning the Labor Department reported that the May Consumer Price Index aka the CPI rose 0.4 percent, after a 0.6 percent rise in April. This is beyond the comfort level of the inflation fighting Fed. These latest numbers are pretty much an indication that the Fed will raise interest rates on June 29, 2006. So we may have to prepare ourselves for another bump up in August but lets not get too ahead of ourselves just yet.Political FrontIt looks like Iran’s master plan may be coming to light as Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated that he wants to increase cooperation with a central Asian security group that includes China and Russia and that the region needs a solid wall against any outside interference. This was said at the S’hanghai Cooperation Organization Summit, which consisted of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. China has publicly said that they will not be a member of the group, that is the story today anyway, as we know tomorrow always brings another element into the mix.Now sticking to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit or the SCO Summit, Russia’s president Vladimir Putin made a proposal while he spoke at the SCO, he proposed the creation of an energy club within the SCO and mentioned that Russia could actually finance some economic projects pursued by the six-nation regional forum. And the plot thickens.President Bush spoke on Wednesday, this comes on the heels of a surprise visit that he made to Baghdad. He looked confident as he stated that he senses something very different happening in Iraq. He predicted that the progress in the region will be steady and he looks for the violence to subside.The Bank of Japan’s Governor Toshihiko Fukui issued a public apology to the Japanese parliament on Thursday as it related to an investment that he made in a fund run by an ex-bureaucrat arrested for suspected insider trading, he said he would not keep any profit. He invested approximately $87,000 back in 1999 and held it since then, so this was not a recent investment and was prior to the arrest of the high profile fund manager Yoshiaki Murakami.Tid BitsBoeing (NYSE: BA) should be the recipient or better yet the beneficiary of the recent slide of Airbus. The credibility of EADS, who is the majority owner of Airbus, was questioned after the company reported substantial delays of their A380 super jumbo planes. This just sliced over 30% of the company’s stock value off the top. Now keep in mind that these delays may be contract breakers and Boeing could begin to receive a slew of orders for their latest plane that was created to compete with Airbus. The street liked what they heard and that pushed Boeing up $5.03 as it closed at $82.01 on Wednesday.Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) is not taking any prisoners on this one, they have raised their offer for largest port operator, Associated British Ports Plc, by 3.7% or US$4.76 billion (2.58 billion pounds). This is in an effort to trump a potential offer from Macquarie Bank Ltd. The acquisition of this company puts Goldman Sachs in an interesting position as they could now be granted U.S. port deals with ease. A recommendation from the new Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson doesn’t hurt their cause either.Crude oil futures got a boost yesterday on the heels of a report from the United States that showed US crude stocks suffered a larger-than-expected fall as US refineries boosted production rates to meet peak summer fuel demand. So we may see follow through today.As we mentioned on Wednesday, precious and base metals seems to have come close to hitting a bottom, but we need follow through before we can be sure of that. Gold, Silver, Copper and other metals rose yesterday and could possibly rise today as the demand is coming into play once again. The precious metals are potentially closer to a bottom than the base metals so be aware of that going in. Of course this trickle down to the metals stocks, companies like Rio Tinto (NYSE: RTP), BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP), Crystallex International (AMEX: KRY), Phelps Dodge (NYSE: PD) Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), Peru Copper (AMEX: CUP) and Bema Gold (AMEX: BGO) should move higher as the metals begin to rebound. So lets look at this carefully today and going into the weekend.Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH) is looking to make a slash in Asia, as they are prepared to invest US$20 to $30 million in Shenzhen Development Bank, which is one of only five banks listed in China. As we have been speaking about on “Wall Street to Main Street” the expansion in both China and India will continue because the market is so great. The inflation worries that have been dragging on the markets globally cannot curb what is on tap to happen. If companies like Citigroup (NYSE: C), JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), Bear Sterns (NYSE: BSC), Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH) and UBS AG (NYSE: UBS) plan on competing in the future they have to solidify themselves as global players now so they can be well established for the future. This is beyond the financial industry, this holds true for retail, food, beverage, manufacturing and the automobile industry. General Motors (NYSE: GM) amidst their bumps in the road are growing nicely overseas, and believe it or not that is where the continued growth will be for a lot of industries. So investors should look deeper into global market conditions and take a good look at the companies that stand to benefit.Movers and ShakersSome major movers in yesterdays trading session included Hansen Natural (NASDAQ: HANS) this seems to be a main stay on WSMS but the stock continues to swing almost on a daily basis, it traded up $7.81 to close at $157.76 on Wednesday.As the base metals saw some light yesterday so have the companies involved in the industry, Carpenter Technology (NYSE: CRS) rose $4.19 to close at $99.37, the stock has fallen from their May 2006 high of $142.11. Keep in mind that prior to the spike in base metals the stock was hanging in the $60 range, as we said precious metals seem to have hit a relative bottom, more so than base metals.In a move that will put certain issues to bed for both German companies, Bayer (NYSE: BAY) and Merck (NYSE: MRK) have come to terms and Bayer will pay Merck US$4.6 billion for its share of Schering, a move that clears the way for Bayer to acquire Schering. This was good news for the street as Bayer rose $3.07 to close at $41.28 on Wednesday/After slipping from the $72 range in May 2006 and closing as low as $56.86 in June, Nutrisystem, Inc (NASDAQ: NTRI) on the heels of bump up from Lazard Capital, rose $$2.84 to close at $59.70. The stock shot up in April from the mid $40 range to its 52 week high of $76.33 on a positive quarter and the launch of a marketing campaigned geared towards males. Now this quarter will tell the story of Nutrisystem and show whether this campaign met the expectations of not only the company but of the street.Other stocks that made nice moves on Wednesday include Casey’s General Stores (NASDAQ: CASY) traded up $4.04 to close at $24.83, PetroChina (NYSE: PTR) traded up $3.84 to close at $94.47, Oil Services HOLDR’s (NYSE: OIH) traded up $3.57 to close at $135.67, Monster Worldwide (NASDAQ: MNST) traded up $3.36 to close at $38.94, Kookmin Bank (NYSE: KB) traded up $3.45 to close at $76.65 and SouthWestern Energy (NYSE: SWN) traded up $3.25 to close at $28.05 on Wednesday.Under TenOther stocks that made moves on the upside under ten bucks include Gold Reserve Inc (AMEX: GRZ), the stock moved up as the precious metals started to rise, if this should continue they are one of a few companies that stand to make nice movement. Gold Reserve traded up 84 cents to close at $4.80 on Wednesday. Other stocks to look at under ten bucks that stand to benefit for the bounce include Silver Wheaton (NYSE: SLW), Crytallex International (AMEX: KRY) and Bema Gold (AMEX: BGO).Taser International (NASDAQ: TASR) made some movement on the upside as its Chairman Phillips W. Smith bought $762,000 worth of the company’s stock. This usually gives a boost to the level of investor confidence in the stock. Even though that pushed the stock to close up 55 cents at $$8.02, you have to understand that back in December of 2004 this was a $31 stock. Now I haven’t had the opportunity to look deep into the company so I am not aware if it split or not while it was at its highs, but from my initial look, it doesn’t seem so. So proceed with caution on this one.Chinese telephone maker Qiao Xing Universal Telephone Inc. (NASDAQ: XING) moved higher yesterday even after they raised US$40 million in a convertible bond offering. The company made some bold statements ahead of the release of their 2005 earnings on June 20, 2006,. The company stated that the their 2005 basic earnings per share, before one-time gains, will “increase significantly” to well above $1, that is compared to 17 cents per share in 2004. Now that is a bold statement but what are those one-time gains?, this one is tricky as the company touting their earnings prior to the earnings announcement scheduled to be release in a few days just raises a red flag for me, but I could be wrong. The stock traded up 55 cents to close at $8.02 on Wednesday.Other stocks that moved higher yesterday under ten bucks included Emcore Corp (NASDAQ: EMKR) which traded up 84 cents to close at $8.69, Internet Initiative Japan (NASDAQ: IIJI) traded up 50 cents to close at $6.99, Sunopta ((NASDAQ: STKL) traded up 45 cents to close at $7.92, Anadigics (NASDAQ: ANAD) traded up 44 cents to close at $6.64 and Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMHY) traded up 42 cents to close at $6.18.DownersSome stocks that traded down yesterday included OYO Geospace (NASDAQ: OYOG) which traded down $6.74 to close at $47.50, Teleflex (NYSE: TFX) traded down $4.66 to close at $53.38, OptionsXpress (NASDAQ: OXPS) traded down $3.81 to close at $22.23, Regional Bank Holders (NYSE: RKH) traded down $2.08 to close at $143.55, Pegasus Wireless (NASDAQ: PGWC) traded down $1.97 to close at $6.70, Apollo Group (NASDAQ: APOL) traded down $1.73 to close at $52.61 and Sunrise Senior Living (NYSE: SRZ) which trade down $1.62 to close at $28.80.Now some stocks under ten bucks that received the royal smack down yesterday include Terremark Worldwide (AMEX: TWW) drops like a rock on a wider quarterly loss. The stock traded down $2.42 to close at $3.69,of course the downgrades didn’t help the situation but this is a big drop and could flag a ton of margin calls if it has not already. So this drop could continue today.Now this is a recent IPO that has fallen from its IPO price, Basin Water (NASDAQ: BWTR) sells systems for the treatment of contaminated groundwater, which is their line of business. The stock opened at $15.70 when it came public in May, that’s $3.70 above its IPO price of $12. The stock traded as high as $16.55 but that was then and this is now, the stock traded down $2.35 to close at $9.65 yesterday. The stock may get a little bounce to keep it about the $10 mark this week.Others under ten bucks that traded down yesterday include InvesTools (NASDAQ: IEDU) traded down $1.07 to close at $7.79, Hurley Industries (NASDAQ: HRLY) traded down 85 cents to close at $9.21, National Coal (NASDAQ: NCOC) traded down 79 cents to close at $6.82, SunTerra Corp (NASDAQ: SNRR) traded down 66 cents to close at $9.02 and UQM Technologies (AMEX: UQM) traded down 60 cents to close at $3.32.Analyst Upgrades/DowngradesRecent Analyst upgrades include Wabtec Corp (NYSE: WAB) was upgraded to a Buy from a Neutral by Janney Montgomery, Ladish Inc (NASDAQ: LDSG) was upgraded to a buy from a Neutral by Sidoti & Co, Sycamore Networks (NASDAQ: SCMR) was upgraded to a Hold from a Sell by Citigroup Investment Research, Celestica (NYSE: CLS) was upgraded to a Buy from a Neutral by UBS, Suez (NYSE: SZE) was upgraded to a Buy from a Hold by Deutsche Bank Securities, Barr Labs (NYSE: BRL) was upgraded to an Overweight from a Neutral Weight by Prudential Equity Group and Black & Decker (NYSE: BDK) was upgraded to a Buy from a Hold by Citigroup Investment Research.Recent Analyst downgrades include General Mills (NYSE: GIS) was downgraded to a Hold from a Buy by Citigroup Investment Research, Volt Information Sciences (NYSE: VOL) was downgraded to a Neutral from a Buy by Sidoti & Co, Alexander & Baldwin (NASDAQ: ALEX) was downgraded to a Buy from an Average by Caris & Company, Maverick Tube (NYSE: MVK) was downgraded to an Under Perform from a Market Perform by Raymond James and to a Sell from a Hold by AG Edwards, and New Century Financial (NYSE: NEW) was downgraded to a Market Perform from a Market Outperform by JMP Securities.Recent analyst coverage initiations include Cognizant Technology (NASDAQ: CTSH) was initiate with a Hold rating by Clear Asset Management, Saxon Capital, Inc (NYSE: SAX) was initiated with a Hold rating and a $10.25 price target by Deutsche Bank Securities, Brown Show Inc (NYSE: BWS) was initiated with a Buy rating by Sidoti & Co, Northstar Neurosciences (NASDAQ: NSTR) was initiated with an Outperform rating by Cowen & Co and Mobility Electronics (NASDAQ: MOBE) was initiated with a Buy rating by Sidoti & co.FURIOUS FIVEFor our outlook, and other vital information on the companies that we feature as the “FURIOUS FIVE” on Wall Street to Main Street just subscribe for FREE at http://www.namcnewswire.comWe cannot stress enough that investors need to do their due diligence, call the companies, get the information, consult with your investment advisor and if you do not have one consider getting one.

They have the quickest application acceptance procedure and are very easy to work with. After the application is accepted you will be sent loan documents by any means within a couple of days time and you can go for shopping with a bargaining power. Before you submit your application compare all quotes and choose the best deal.How It Works When you submit an affordable auto credit online dealers will contact the lenders and give you a quote according to your financial situation. One good thing about them is that they also get you a good quote for bad credit auto finance because sometimes when you go and search in the market on your own you will not be able to find the right loan.How much to apply forYou must calculate your finances and make sure that it is not more than 20% of your monthly budget. If you apply for a big loan a situation may arise where you cannot make a monthly payment and defaulting may cause your car to be repossessed. Also before calculating the loan amount do add extra money because the cars total price will have sales tax and other charges included in it.What It Requires The affordable auto credit will require personal and financial information. You will have to submit your name, date of birth, phone, address, social security, mortgage information, employment and income. These type of things are to check your credit worthiness by looking at your credit history.Online car loan applicationThe application procedure is easy and very quick. The application form is available on the online lenders website and you have to fill in the requested details. The submission takes only seconds and the approval may take a day where as you have to spend days just applying for a loan if you go to a dealer.Online Car Financing For Good and Bad CreditOnline poor credit auto loan is readily available for people with good or bad credit. The rates however will vary. Since the competition for online loans between banks and other finance companies is increasing a very competitive rate can be found with a good search especially with a bad credit.Online Identity TheftA very important concern while getting an online car credit is identity theft. Many fake sites are present on the internet. Before you even think about opening the application page of a site find out of if the site is secure and the lender is registered with the credit bureaus. Sign up with the companies that are well known to you and those recommended by friends or family.Buying a Car After your online application is accepted you will get your check. Once the check is in your hand you can go to a dealer to look for a car. All you need to do is to fill out the check with the amount and some other forms sent by the lender regarding the loan. It works just like as if you are a pre-approved auto buyer. One change you will see in your negotiation with the dealer is that you have more bargaining power with a check in your pocket. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://digvedams.info/46/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>How to Get Sub-Prime Credit Auto Loans?</title> <link>https://digvedams.info/43</link> <comments>https://digvedams.info/43#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Mar 2023 14:01:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Auto Loans]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://digvedams.info/?p=43</guid> <description><![CDATA[A car is a requirement for each and every individual.

It is a necessity for a borrower with good credit score. You need a car even when you have a subprime credit history. Yet, most bad credit borrowers complain of constant car loan rejection. But, things are changing with subprime auto financing.Subprime Auto Financing – A Common PhenomenonPeople with good credit scores are called prime borrowers. And, people with bad credit scores are known as subprime borrowers. Lenders that offer auto loans to subprime borrowers are called subprime lenders.Subprime car financing is common these days as many Americans are having a bad credit history. Lenders know that they cannot shy away from offering auto loans to bad credit borrowers because there are so many of them. They would lose a considerable amount of business if they didn’t offer subprime auto financing options.Important Tips to Get Guaranteed Approval on Sub-Prime Credit Auto LoansYes! It is possible to get guaranteed approval on subprime car loans if you understand these important tips and follow them.Credit HistoryYour credit scores play an important role in getting any type of loan. Even if you have subprime credit, it is necessary that you check it. An accurate credit score can help you avoid scams. There is a possibility that lenders may con you by not offering lower rates under the pretext of a bad credit score. So, always check your credit score.When you check your credit ratings, you must go through your credit report as well. Look for discrepancies. If you find any error, report it to the concerned credit bureau. It is better to remove all errors from your credit report because it will improve your credit score. You can also increase your credit score by making regular monthly payments.Down Payment and Co-SignerA large down payment increases your chances of getting a subprime auto loan. When you put money down, the car loan amount reduces. There is also a decrease in the lender’s risk. As a result, getting lower interest rates becomes easy for you.When you have a co-signer, the lender is sure that his investment is safe. This will increase his trust in you and your car loan approval chances will increase.Search for Lenders after Making a BudgetWhen you make a subprime car loan budget, you get an idea of your affordability. A budget is a necessity because a planned credit purchase is easy to manage.Once you know how much you can actually afford as monthly payments, start your search of finding a subprime lender. It is always better to search for car loans first and then choose the vehicle. When you have a pre approved auto loan, it takes pressure off your mind and you are able to make a better car choice. Also, you avoid unpleasant car financing surprises at the dealer’s lot.Submit your car loan application at many places because lenders don’t have common criteria for subprime auto loans. It is possible that few lenders may consider your score very bad while others may think of it as average. So, it is always better to apply with several car lenders.Traditional financial institutions and banks are reluctant in offering auto loans to subprime credit borrowers. So, it’s better to avoid them. You can apply with a credit union if you are its member. You can even opt for online subprime auto loans by applying with online auto financing companies. These companies offer instant approval because they work round the clock with a large network of lenders and dealers. Remember to check the authenticity of the website. Apply with only reliable car financing companies.Comparison and NegotiationAfter receiving several car loan quotes, compare them on factors like interest rate, monthly payment, APR, car loan terms and conditions, pre-payment penalty, etc. When you compare on all these aspects, you get a clear picture.Once you have chosen the best subprime auto financing program, negotiate with the lender.

This is a simple question but like many simple questions the answer is a bit more complicated than you might expect. Complicated but easy to understand if you let Grandad explain.Quite simply, a business is a group of people who are joined together to sell something to bring in money, referred to as “income”.A business can be very small, even just one person. This small business can have a legal form or the person can just consider himself (or herself) to be “self-employed”. Even a one-man business must bring in enough money to pay for his living costs. Otherwise he will need to get a job in another business or live on social security paid out by the government and that is no fun at all.The size of business that we meet most often is as small as 2 or 3 up to as many as several hundred. These companies are often referred to as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They normally have a legal status such as “partnership” or “limited company”.The big beasts in the business jungle can be very large indeed, often with thousands of employees and many millions of pounds income and are usually “Public Limited Companies” (PLCs). All these businesses are important and Grandad will tell you more about all these businesses in the next few days.Let me tell you now about the money earned by a business, called “income”. This money must be enough to cover what are called costs or “expenditure”. Costs are all the expenses that the business incurs: the materials the business might have bought, rents, wages and money paid to other people. Costs can include a whole lot of other things such as computer cost, telephone bills, insurance, heating, transport etc.The idea of a business is that income should be more than expenditure, If income is greater than expenditure, the difference is called a “profit”. If income is less than expenditure then the business is said to make a “loss”.Making a loss is a BAD THING. If losses continue then the business cannot carry on and is said to be bankrupt. The business has no money to pay its bills.Profit therefore must be a GOOD THING. Not everyone agrees but Grandad will explain as we go on why profit is a VERY GOOD THING.There is an in-between result which is called “break-even”, which is not a loss and not a profit. Normally a business can survive in a break-even state but it brings problems that we can talk about later.Grandad has not yet mentioned the greatest contribution that businesses make to all our lives – TAXATION. Businesses are a rich source of TAX, which our government needs to pay for schools, the National Health Service, roads, police, firemen, the Army, Navy and Air Force, old age pensions etc. Our politicians have great ideas on how to spend money but they have no money to spend unless businesses create TAX.There is a tax called CORPORATION TAX which is charged as a percentage of the profit the business makes. However businesses create tax for the government in many other ways. Everyone who gets wages or a salary from a business pays INCOME TAX and the business pay NATIONAL INSURANCE for each person working for the business. No business, no wages, no income tax, no national insurance. Businesses charge VAT (Value added tax) on most things they sell They pay what they collect (less what VAT they have paid to other businesses) to the government. Owners of a business can take money out of the business in the form of what are called “dividends”: INCOME TAX is paid as a percentage of these dividends. Finally owners can sell a business to somebody else and if they do, they pay CAPITAL GAINS TAX on the sale. If a business buys insurance, it pays INSURANCE TAX. If it buys goods from abroad, it often has to pay TARIFFS to the government.Corporation Tax, Income Tax, National Insurance, Value Added Tax, Tax on Dividends, Tariffs, Capital Gains Tax all help in paying for things we value such as schools, police, defence and the National Health Service. Without these taxes the government would not have enough money to pay for these things. By the way, businesses also pay COUNCIL TAX which pays for local services such as street cleaning, parks, playgrounds and many other things we take for granted.Of course, businesses are not created and operated in order to pay taxes. The business is created to make money for the owners and to pay wages for the people working in the business. They will work hard in the business for their own benefit. the tax paid out being an unintended benefit to the rest of us. This raises all sorts of interesting questions that Grandad will talk about another day. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://digvedams.info/41/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Digital Marketing As A Subset Of Business Development Strategies</title> <link>https://digvedams.info/39</link> <comments>https://digvedams.info/39#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 20 Mar 2023 09:42:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://digvedams.info/?p=39</guid> <description><![CDATA[One point that it is wise to focus on when considering developing and refining top level business development strategies is that…… The Integration Of The Digital Marketing Activities Into That Of The Top Level Business Development Plans Are Essential For Success With Any Tactical Activities… It is indeed quite possible for organisations to be taking [...]]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> One point that it is wise to focus on when considering developing and refining top level business development strategies is that…… The Integration Of The Digital Marketing Activities Into That Of The Top Level Business Development Plans Are Essential For Success With Any Tactical Activities… It is indeed quite possible for organisations to be taking part in daily social media or online internet marketing activities taking place on a daily basis and for these activities to be shown to be having little [in some cases none at all] effect on key marketing parameters such as…>>> Marketing Funnel Interaction>>> Lead Generation>>> Target MarketingThese are but a few of that which we consider to be business fundamentals and how these key business imperatives dovetail into the core internet marketing activities are fundamentally important to the organisation’s overall marketing activities effectiveness.If the case exists where the top level business strategies have not been clearly defined and there are significant online marketing activities [in terms of social media interaction, paid advertising and content creation and publication for search engine marketing purposes] then the conclusion may be drawn that as a consequence there is no real foundation on which to base the digital marketing activities.In the cases where the business has taken the steps to develop and to base their activities on foundational marketing planning then in these circumstances – these plans can be used to serve as a basis on which to base the digital marketing; search engine and social media activities upon.Main point being – We Cannot Forget The Marketing within the “Digital Marketing” phrase. With so many daily activities that can be executed such as…</p><p>micro blogging</p><p>email marketing</p><p>blogging</p><p>guiding prospects through specific marketing funnels</p><p>video marketing</p><p>keyword analysis</p><p>… more and more the higher up the organisation that ‘over the internet’ marketing is visited then the great effect will be seen in terms of product / service awareness; increase in brand equity which culminate in revenue generation.With so many digital marketing tools out there that the digital marketing professional can make use for customer interaction, brand development and product / service promotion and; with the ‘noise level apparently increasing on a weekly basis,the case for increased focus on the integration of digital marketing with core business development planning must be highlighted.Taking this one step further by factoring in search engine and social media marketing at the strategic business phase will ensure that the online marketing implementation serves the company to maximum effect. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://digvedams.info/39/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Earn Easy and Beyond Your Expectation From Online Business Opportunities</title> <link>https://digvedams.info/36</link> <comments>https://digvedams.info/36#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 19 Mar 2023 13:34:46 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://digvedams.info/?p=36</guid> <description><![CDATA[Before launching an online business the entrepreneur must build a lucrative website that showcases his business goals and the kind of products he or she is going to offer.

(Nasdaq: WWWW) and the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) found a pervasive sense of economic optimism, including a prediction by most WBOs (85 percent) that more women will become entrepreneurs in 2013 than in past years. WBOs also plan to invest more (38 percent) or the same (54 percent) in hiring this year than they did in 2012 – a positive sign for the economy.2013, the Year of the Female EntrepreneurThe State of Women-Owned Businesses survey found that the large majority of WBOs were optimistic about their business’ overall performance (81 percent) for the year ahead. They were also optimistic, though slightly less so, about the broader economic outlook (74 percent) in 2013.”The 2013 State of Women-Owned Businesses Survey reveals that even in these tough economic times, women entrepreneurs are optimistic about business opportunities for the year ahead,” said NAWBO President & CEO, Diane L. Tomb. “This survey informs us of the challenges and opportunities facing NAWBO members as well as women business owners in general. At NAWBO we will strive to address these issues on behalf of all women entrepreneurs.”The survey also uncovered serious challenges facing WBOs, including the need to reach new customers. Web.com and NAWBO developed the survey to better understand the state of women entrepreneurship, including: women business owners’ (WBO) motivations for starting their businesses, what business challenges they face, what and how micro- and macroeconomic factors impact their businesses, what investment plans they have for the year ahead and what public policy issues are of greatest concern.What Keeps Women Business Owners Up at Night?With regard to public policy matters, the top four issues on the minds of WBOs are: the state of the economy (57 percent), health insurance cost and affordability (40 percent), business tax issues (36 percent), and access to a quality workforce (36 percent). Though two in five WBOs said that health insurance costs and affordability are important issues to them, many (71 percent) feel that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) will have no impact upon the way they do business.Financing Options to Meet Business Capital NeedsMore than three quarters (78 percent) of WBOs did not seek a new or extended line of credit in the past year. Of these 78 percent, more than half (68 percent) indicated they did not want additional credit in the first place, and the others (32 percent) did not think they could get credit if they tried. Most WBOs financed their businesses through credit cards (45 percent), business earnings (40 percent), or private sources such as personal savings or contributions from family or friends (37 percent).Who Should Become an Entrepreneur?Survey respondents assert that women start their own businesses for a variety of reasons, including: having a vision for a business idea or a passion for solving a specific industry problem, wanting control or a more flexible work-life balance, and being in the right place at the right time. When asked the biggest motivation for starting their business, the most common answer was that they were following their vision (28 percent), followed by finding an idea that allowed them to become an entrepreneur (21 percent). The survey found that the most important traits for running a successful business are to have a passion for an idea (1st), to have a vision to succeed long-term after the business is launched (2nd) and a willingness and attitude to fail before you succeed and to take risks (3rd).Finding New Customers through Online Investments and Social Media MarketingWhen asked what they see as their biggest challenge to running their business in 2013, nearly two in five (39 percent) of WBOs said that it was gaining new customers. To gain customers, nearly three quarters (73 percent) of WBOs plan to invest more in marketing in 2013. Specifically, they will invest in social media marketing (36 percent) and search engine optimization (SEO) (36 percent). This is not surprising, as nearly half (44 percent) predict that social media and SEO are the future of small business marketing. Conversely, WBOs anticipated that traditional outreach approaches, including print and direct mail (1.6 percent), online advertising (4.4 percent) and email marketing (6.2 percent), will have less impact on small business marketing in the future.When considering what marketing tactics currently have the greatest impact on a business’ bottom line, more than half (52 percent) of respondents indicated that website design and maintenance was very important, followed by social media marketing and SEO (38 percent) and email marketing (25 percent). And WBOs indicated that LinkedIn (27 percent) is the most valuable social media platform to them, followed by Facebook (26 percent), YouTube (18 percent) and Twitter (17 percent).”Women business owners are laser focused on reaching new customers, and their strategy for doing so is focused on improving their businesses’ online presence,” said Web.com executive vice president and chief people officer, Roseann Duran. “This is great news for time-strapped consumers, as they can expect to have an improved and more socially engaged online experience with many of their favorite businesses in 2013.”For full survey results and to view and share the 2013 State of Women-Owned Businesses infographic, visit www.web.com/community. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://digvedams.info/31/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Tips to Boost Your Visual Marketing Strategy</title> <link>https://digvedams.info/28</link> <comments>https://digvedams.info/28#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 09:11:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://digvedams.info/?p=28</guid> <description><![CDATA[The majority of marketers would admit that creating visual images is not a strong suit for them.The good news?

Now is the time to switch to visual marketing if your posts have been heavy with text. You can start today adding photos or images to your posts.What makes a shareable social media image? Why should we care about people sharing our images? Good questions. Every time a person shares your image, you just received free marketing. They are opening up your message to their audience. This helps you achieve more with less!Let’s look at what makes a shareable social media image:1. Emotion: When your readers feel it, they’ll share it.2. Relevance: Your image should fit your audience, and their audience too.3. Colors: Use the right colors to fit your audience’s personality and you will get more shares.4. Typography: Choose fonts that look good and pair well with each other. Choose fonts your audience can read.5. Hashtags and Text: Choose the right words to encourage your audience to interact.The most important way to optimize social media content is with images and photos leading the way. Focus on creating great visual content to engage your audience and put them into a sales funnel. On the back end, you will have detailed information to separate the lookers from the buyers.Serious buyers will always be looking for more information to use in their life. These types of information include webinars, case studies, and reports (or white papers). Visual content opens the ‘door’ for serious buyers to access your back-end detailed information.Tip # 1Creating a Title for your Visual ImageTitles are a feature element of your visual content. You want them to stand out!Let’s go through a couple factors that will help you choose the best titles for your visual marketing.1. We live in the age of people scrolling through a social media feed at record speed. An amazing title helps your visual content stand out among the “noise” in a news feed.2. Your image has a split second to grab the attention of your audience. But your title (or main goal in the image) must speak to them as well.3. If your audience finds the image to be pause worthy, make sure your title keeps them even longer. If you fall short in any aspect, they will not click on your call to action and will keep scrolling to the next thing.4. Your back end offer will be the ultimate information that solves their problem. But the title should be crystal clear and provide a front line answer to their question.Your image title appears everywhere. So, choosing a visual image with a strong title is critical, it will be visible in many different places. Every time you make a piece of text content, be aware that the different versions of it will show up as “title only”. This is visual marketing, it is the only chance you have to grab your audience’s fast paced attention.Tip #2Color: The Psychology of Colors in Visual MarketingFor decades there has been a debate about color and how it relates to persuading your audience to buy.A great example in today’s color marketing is a well known, high end, coffee retailer. They use the color green as their primary visual marketing color. When you look at a color chart you see that customer’s associate green with wealth and relaxation.Would you agree or disagree that this coffee shop got their marketing correct? They encourage people to stop in and relax with a $5-$8 cup of coffee. In fact, many people will tell you they cannot start their morning without a trip to this coffee house. Pretty ingenious, right?Color studies show that different colors have an impact on a customer’s purchasing decisions. Marketing departments have been using this knowledge for generations. Recognize the power behind color and make conscious choices for your visual marketing.According to a B2B study, 85% of customer’s claim that the color of an ad was what made them buy.Please note, color alone does not induce someone to buy or not buy. But, when done correct, color influences your products and branding. And how long a customer stays around to learn about your products.So how can you use this for your visual marketing strategy?Start with a specific color theme. The right color theme depends on your niche audience’s demographics and your ultimate message. Next choose the right text, font, shapes, and photos for your social media pages.How do colors affect purchases?There are many factors that influence what consumers buy. Yet a large amount of their decisions rely on visual cues, such as color. It is vital that your color choices support the theme of your message. Continue to refer to a color chart to double check that your color choice supports your message. Plus the call to action you want your customers to act on.Tip #3Choosing the Right FontIt’s easy to think that your font is a simple design choice. But the truth is that font is the body language of your image. It says a lot to your reader without you even realizing it. Different fonts you choose dictate how long someone reads your article.The previous tips discussed the importance of your visual content being inviting and shareable. Did you know that the font choice you make will impact the number of shares (attention) that it receives? How? Let’s take a look.Different fonts create different emotions.· Font’s will encourage readers to complete your desired action· Drive decision making· Encourage them to share with their audienceWhat is the take away? Consider the message you’re putting out and the emotions that you want your audience to feel from it.There are 3 steps to selecting your ideal font, your choice will support or detract from your message.When creating your visual images, make sure that you think beyond the words that you have written. A good example here is a quote. Your goal is to select a font that matches the meaning behind the message. The goal is to think beyond the words you’ve written. While this sound complicated, it isn’t.3 Steps:1. Decide on your emotion: Are you a fun loving brand? Or are you more serious, like an institution? You can be artsy and easy going or you can be serious and stoic. But mixing the two together rarely results in a unified message.2. Choose 3 variations: Decide on 3 font you feel fit your brand’s message. Design your visual image 3 times using a different font each time. Walk away from the project and come back later. When you have ‘fresh’ eyes you will be able to immediately see what font best suites your message.3. Nothing is worse than a font you cannot read: You have been a victim yourself right? You see a visual marketing attempt, but you cannot read the words because the font was a wrong choice. Just because you feel a font is ‘pretty’ does not mean the audience can digest it. As we learned in the past 2 tips, if your audience does not digest the message fast, they move on.Tip #4Choosing Appropriate ImagesA study performed by Trend Reports found that 65- 85% of people say they are visual learners. Visual learners prefer to look and study as opposed to read and comprehend. Marketers need to optimize images to accommodate the majority of visual learners.Accommodate visual learners and you stand apart from competitors who only use text. When you are choosing images to tie in with your colors, titles, and fonts, you must keep relevancy in mind. Does the image you’re choosing fit the audience you’re choosing it for?Visual learners process information using the part of the brain associated with vision. Which is 60,000x faster than the part of the brain that processes written information.Visual learners look at your image and decide if what they are seeing matches up with what they like, etc. They use the part of the brain that tells them to stop and investigate or keep moving because it is not the right fit.When you choose images ask yourself these 3 questions “does this image fit my”:· Brand· Audience Niche· Important News Feed UpdateIf they answer is yes, your next goal is to transition your audience from the image to your call to action. Getting your audience members to complete a specific action is your main goal.With each image you create moving forward you must ask yourself:”Does this make sense for my audience to act it?”Not sure about the best interaction from your audience?
