Investors Lunch Box

Within a couple months I am traveling to beautiful Hawaii for a relaxing vacation of fun in the sunny state. But living in the Rocky region of the United States, I tend to be more accustomed to cloudy days, even during the spring.

I’ve created a long list of things to be taken care of before I am truly ready for my respite from the rigors of life, some items more prudent than some others. However the one particular item on my list I am writing about today involves my pasty white skin.

I do know that it is a myth that building up a foundation suntan might help you prevent burning you skin, however that does not halt me from feeling inhibited about feeling so pale white and tanless in an region where everyone is habituated to wearing very little all the while playing in the sun.

So to help me feel at ease and uninhibited while on my cherished and unusual vacation time, I have investigated the greatest ways to form a normal looking suntan in front of hitting the gorgeous Hawaii beaches.

One option will be airbrush tan systems. With this sunless tanning option, I can have a professional tanning studio meticulously apply and tone my bronze to my specification.

I do understand that numerous people reckon I ought to try a commercial suntanning bed instead of a sunless spray bronze, but I’m not so sure about overdoing my UV exposure. The minimum measure of melanin within my humble hide might make me particularly susceptible to skin harm.

I am looking to dismiss my self-consciousness so I can entirely relax and relish my vacation, not set about a chronic campaign to acquire melanoma indications or white spots because of tanning.

It is my understanding that those white spots from tanning are more liable to occur with commercial tanning beds, either because of a fungus caught in a less-than-sanitary communal facility or because of impressions on my skin created from the pressure points of reclining in the bed.

So I have narrowed my airbrush suntanning to a small number of well-established suntanning parlors. I might just grab a suntanning cream to apply in the privateness of my house, however I do think I’ll commence with a professional sunless tan than maintain it with a sunless tanning lotion.

From my research, I am assured I can avert the affected look which individuals stereotype of sunless tanning, but I reckon you never know for certain until you attempt it yourself. I will make sure to refine my sunless bronze well before I leave for vacation so I can refine the process and perfect my tan to look my most attractive when I get at that place.

“I can’t sell”, I hear you say. Rubbish, everybody can sell. If you ever got hired, sold your car or sold yourself to another person (ie. got married or formed a relationship), you have proven your ability to sell. We sell ideas to other people all the time, we just don’t view it as selling.

The role of a sales person is to find out what the prospect wants rather than whether the customer wants something at all. Once this is done, a sales professional should then help the customer satisfy that need to the customers’ satisfaction. The principle skills a successful sales person needs are:

* Putting your customers in a acceptance state of mind, making them feel at ease and unpressured.

* Showing interest in their questions or issues.

* Using opinions as selling points (both yours and theirs).

* Supplying facts and helpful information.

* Answering objections in a positive way and never becoming defensive or aggressive.

* Seeing things from the customer’s point of view.

* Suggesting additional merchandise or services.(Value adding)

* Building repeat business.

It’s important that you learn to apply these skills, although if you use courtesy, friendliness, honesty and you know what you’re talking about, you’re 90% there. Not very hard when you consider it.

I know of quite a few small business people that would never consider themselves sales people but have remarkable success at selling their wares by just being themselves. Is this being a good sales person? Probably.

An old friend of mine, Rastass owns a applicance business in one of Melbourne’s trendier suburbs. He spent many years of his life working for a hospital. It never ceases to amaze me, and his business partner, how this “untrained” person can sell products by just being himself. He is a natural salesman.

On the days he looks after the shop instead of his partner, the sales are always up compared to when he’s not there. If you were to ask him if he thought he was a good salesman he would probably say no, but the sales figures speak for themselves.

He does it by being a friendly, likeable person that loves a joke and a talk with his customers. Most of his customers would never go elsewhere because they like him. I’m sure even if he put his prices up, he would still attract the same clients because they have a relationship with him. They feel good about shopping at his store; he makes sure they do. Everybody can sell, simply use your own personality and be friendly and courteous. Treat customers the way you would like to be treated.

Top sales people make a point of remembering regular customers’ names, ensuring each time they come to the store they receive a small discount or offering other little extras like helping them to the car with their parcels. As I mentioned before with my friend, he fosters friendships with his regular customers. This fosters loyalty to the business by the customer, quite often regardless of price, because they get preferential treatment. You’ve probably had the feeling yourself when you constantly use a particular business and each time you walk in the people don’t just ask for the order.

Generally, sales people feel awkward about asking the customer for the order. These sales people will never be really successful in sales. A lot of sales are lost simply because the sales person doesn’t put the onus back on the customer to make a decision, they simply leave the whole matter up in the air which allows the potential customer to quietly move out the door without having to commit themselves to a decision. How many times do you do this? I do it all the time and think to myself, “I’m glad nobody put me under pressure, I probably would have spent money”.

If working as a Virtual or Home Worker is suddenly thrust upon you because you have lost your job or you need a second income, all is not lost. I started that way in 2000 and am still working via the Internet though spending more time helping others get started in the current climate. I hope the following will help you get going - all you need is a PC and some good office, PA or secretarial skills. Any extra skills such as translation, medical or legal knowledge will get you there even faster.}

Planning your way out of disaster:

You may well be in a panic, running around not knowing what to do or who to pay next. Sit down with a sheet of paper and write down everything you are good at. If you have ever had or looked after children, organisation should be at the top of your list. Use that knowledge to organise a skills sheet and who you know who could use those skills.

There are many sites that have been set up to get Virtual Assistants started but make sure you don’t spend hundreds of dollars before you even start. In debt is not a good way to start. A useful free site on how to become a Virtual Assistant is  http://www.iceni-it.co.uk/becoming_a_va.htm Although based in the UK the 4500+ members come from all over the world.

Here is an example of how you should be thinking and acting:

If your only skill apart from organisation is copy typing - well find your nearest college or university and advertise that skill. Put up flyers with your phone number on tear off strips at the bottom. You will probably get your hand bitten off. If you can do transcription, phone the organisation and ask if you can send in a resume of your skills and abilities and if possible arrange a meeting. Holidays and flu will be arriving soon so they may well need extra help and someone local that they know can do the work could be a life saver

Repeat the above example for every skill you have. You may only get a maybe but the more maybe’s you get increases your chance of getting work soon.

Non traditional Home Worker Jobs:

Having a lot of experience is important but in the beginning you may find that it is hard and slow to get work. Whenever I am having work problems I write articles and put them on the Internet. I get paid a small sum if they sell or not but a good sum if they sell. Now how do you learn to write articles? You go Google and do a search for article writing or how to write articles and you will find masses of free information.

Many people say that these firms are not safe. Well I have been doing this for some time and have found that I can earn enough to get by and enjoy the change. A review of this type of work can be found at www.webcolleagues.info. There is also a home typing scheme attached if you enjoy copy typing.

Doing the dirty work:

This may seem a strange heading but in many cases you will be given the work to do that no-one else wants to do. Most Virtual Assistants decide early on that they would do anything they could, that was legal to earn money to pay the bills. These times do not last long as you prove your worth to the person paying you. Think ahead and try to be pro-active. Don’t just do a boring job with a frown on your face and wish you were back in your cubicle. You have the advantages of the freedom of working for yourself so a little bit of downside is not the end of the world.

Getting paid for the work you do - ensure you have a booking form or contract:

When you start working for clients, make sure you have a signed and detailed booking form or contract. Not everything always goes to plan and you want to ensure that you get paid for what you do. Don’t allow yourself to be bullied and always. Always. think of your safety if you are asked to go and meet clients. It is best not to meet them in your house or theirs. Choose a nice open area or a hotel reception and have the meeting there.

Organise your business from the word go:

Part of your organisation skills should include your finances. Work out how much it will cost you per hour to work before you make a profit. Go along to your nearest government Small Business centre and talk to them. Get your booking form or contract checked out and see if there is any money that you can get for starting up. You may also be offered courses on taxation, health and safety and in some areas complete courses on using standard software.

New Times Ahead:

Things are changing rapidly in the world of work. You must be professional as you will be up against Virtual Assistants and Home Workers who have been working from home for many years. A recent estimate was that this recession could last another 5 years. Start as you mean to go on. Professional and hard working and you will build a business that will keep you now and in the future. This is the era of the Small Business and they all need flexible versatile support to help them achieve their success.

I hope I have inspired you to check out how to become a Virtual Assistant and get a job working from home. Running your own business and being your own boss can give you a terrific feeling of freedom, as well as a higher income.

Keep looking forward.

Want extra money? Ever consider taking surveys for cash? Thousands are already doing it. How? Read on…

One easy way to start an independent extra income stream for yourself is to join the many thousands who take paid surveys. If you are 18 or over, a consumer (if you eat, you’re a consumer!) and have enough computer skills to be able to send and receive e-mails.

The reason that this is possible is because large companies absolutely must know what consumers, especially the consumers that buy THEIR products or services, are thinking. Most such companies never come into direct contact with the people that ultimately buy what they are selling.

And the MUST KNOW what consumers think and prefer. They have to know this to design new products, improve old products and know which advertising campaigns are working and which are not!

The only way to get people to take the time to sit down and fill out survey questionnaires is to pay them! Typical surveys pay $10 to $25 and take 7 to 18 minutes to fill out. Take a $10 and a $25 survey a day and you’ll make over $1,000 in a month!

That is how taking surveys for cash can be your key to more income.

So take free paid surveys and put some extra money in your pockets!

What I aimed to do when I opened my marketing business was to increase my chances of attracting enquiries into the business. Increasing the possibility of calling us can be done by using normal formats of newspapers and the internet.

There’s an article I read that talks about a study made by the Institute of Direct Marketing which says that there was an 185% increase in enquiries when businesses supplie the free 0800 numbers. Making the people feel that you are not after the charge but their enquiry, which is the most important to you. According to the study made by teleculture 2000, 0800 numbers are called first by 63% of the people, which is an important data. A number of call management in place by using a freephone number is its other advantage. When flexibility is required, these helped in answering calls or simply directing them to the right place. With the benefit of just taking the number with me, I found the numbers helpful when moving to larger premises.

The numbers that can be redirected to a landline or mobile number are the 0800 numbers. As the number remained constant, this meant that I didn’t have to get new signs, paperwork or marketing material.

If you wish to build confidence in your company with visitors to your website or viewers of your advertisements 0800 numbers can be a great way of doing this, they allow you to imply that your company is larger that it actually is with multiple offices rather than just one. It also helps give the impression that you have a number of employees waiting to take customers calls.

The creators of Instant Article Wizard pro have developed a complex algorithm that extracts relevant pieces of research from a large variety of online indexes based on keywords you provide. That research is grouped and organized using this algorithm in a way that puts related research together. This makes writing your articles much, much faster and easier than trying to go out and do the research yourself.

IAW Pro currently supports searching Google, Yahoo, MSN Live, Google Blog Search, Articles, Google’s US Government index, Google Scholar, Google News and Google News Archives. Having multiple sources for gathering research makes it much easier to compile relevant, authoratative information to help you write top quality articles fast.

Instant Article Wizard Pro has a random factor in the algorithm that prevents the same research from being gathered for the same keywords each time they are run. That way an article you write on a set of keywords will be different, based on the research found, than another user who writes an article on the same set of keywords.

Even better, this means that you can create multiple unique articles on the same topic keywords. That gives you the ability to post to as many blogs as you want, submit to article directories as many times as you want and get as much content about a topic as you want. The benefit to you is more content, more pages indexed by the search engines and more backlinks to your sites.

Right now only the English language is supported, but results from Google, MSN Live, Yahoo and the News and News Archives indexes are all localized based on your selected country. The available countries are the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada.

For the best article marketing, you definitely want to pick up a copy of Instant Article Wizard Pro.

( sometimes called internet site hosting, website and Webhosting), is the business of housing, serving, and maintaining files for a number of internet sites. More important than the computer space that is provided for Web site files is the fast connection to the Net. Most hosting services offer connections on T-carrier system lines. Often an individual business hosting its own site would require a similar connection and it would be expensive. Using a web hosting service lets many companies share the cost of a fast Web connection for serving files.

A number of Net access providers, such as America Online, offer customers free space for a small Web site that is hosted by one of their PCs. Geocities is a site site that offers registered visitors similar free space for a Web site. While site. While these services are free, they are extraordinarily basic.

A number of net hosting companies describe their services as virtual hosting. Virtual hosting often implies that their services will be clear and that each internet site will have its own domain name and set of e-mail addresses. In most usages, hosting and virtual hosting are synonyms. Some hosting corporations let you have your own virtual server, the appearance that you are controlling a server that is dedicated entirely to your site.

Dedicated hosting is the supply of a dedicated server machine that is devoted to the traffic to your site. Only very busy sites require dedicated hosting. Many firms purchase their own servers and place them on a site that provides fast access to the Internet. This practice is called colocation.

Buying DVD’s online is huge today. The last 3-4 years has seen this type of purchasing dvd grow. The pros far outweigh the cons but a word of warning. You do have to do your due diligence. You want the site you buy your dvds online from to be respectable.

There are many clubs online that are reputable, you simply have to find them. One tactic I used when I started my search was to hit the search engines. I simply put “dvd club, forum” into the search engines and it gave me results of forums or groups that discuss all things dvd.

These groups will have recommendations and reviews from users where you will get a good insight into where the best place is to go to when you are buying dvd’s online. Spend some time there and be sure you are following a persons advice that has some standing within that particular forum or discussion group.

After a month of pouring over the above I came to the conclusion that the site that met every criteria I need to buy dvds online safely was Amazon. They have a huge reputation for being safe, fast and ethical. I would strongly urge you to at least check them out.

They post dvds to most countries and in the majority of cases in record time. Their refund policy is the fairest I have seen and the range is the most complete. Whether you are in the market for a certain movie or looking to buy a box set, you will find them here. Three vaild reasons to use them for purchasing your dvd online.

Happy dvds viewing.
