Global crises Solution Fax to email

September 22, 2009

Hey! Here are some news that have interested me a lot. And what about you? What do you think of it? Read and comment.

The worldwide crises phenomenon is growing just like Global Warming. The crisis issue puts an end to an era of free money spending and safe investments. All these news give us an unsecure feeling and fear in the day that has to come.
It is a known thing that during financial crises we have to face many global changes in political sphere and economical one that might enforce new rules and regulations and even make the history.
The crises do not persuade the well-known advice “obeys the rules” but the opposite do not follow the path that has been already trapped – find your way. Although I see more people who are now very wise of spending their money for a good reason. Most of us are becoming innovative with the main purpose – to survive, to save, and even to lunch new business in crises times that will assure an income.
Is there place for advertising and promotion of our products and services during crises time? Yes, a successful response to a business crisis is low cost communication.Fax to email is a great opportunity to promote your business and to communicate with your customers.
Fax broadcasting at a very low rate is an efficient way to become visible and sell your products or services, even during crisis time. It requires minimum investments and increases your sales immediately. It is not the time to spend on advertising, telemarketing or bulk mailing that cost a lot of money with low % of return. The great thing about fax advertising is that everybody has to read their faxes. You are guaranteed of at least one view per fax, unlike a magazine which has a hundred pages and your ad may or may not be seen. Direct mail many times will be thrown away without being read. Not everybody watches the TV channel you’re advertising on. EVERY FAX IS READ.

Nowadays there are lot of fax broadcasting providers all over the internet. Each of them has various offers. For instance, Popfax.com Internet Fax Provider launches fax mailing campaigns for 0.01 Euro per page. They offer:
• Faxmailing in few clicks to multiple destinations.
• Broadcasting to local and international destinations.
• Detailed report about your faxmailing campaign feedback.
• Every Internet connection is supported (ADSL, wi-fi, 3G, …)
Take time to analyze every small opportunity that can open many doors to prosperity and evolution.

Little Ways You Might Improve Your Financial Life

September 8, 2009

Hey! Some useful notes. I advise you to read this carefully because some time it can help you! So read and enjoy!

This is the year!Yes, you can make 2009 the year you alter your financial life for a better financial future. Let’s look at some steps you might think of taking with the goal of financial freedom in mind. No, we’re not talking about those ridiculously obvious steps the usual articles recommend, like “write your goals down” and “set a budget.” Let’s go past the clichés and get into the real issues.Look at your income source, your expenses and your debt. How do you earn income? If you earn it from one source, is there effectively a ceiling on it, or is there real potential for your income to rise in the next few years? Now look at your core living expenses, the ones you can’t avoid (such as a mortgage payment, car payment, etc.). Can any core expenses be reduced? Investing aside, you position yourself to gain ground financially when income rises, debt diminishes and expenses stay (relatively) the same. Maybe you should pay your debt first, maybe not. If you are a business owner or a professional, for example, you’ll likely always have some debt. Your ultimate goal should be to build wealth – and you can plan to build wealth and minimize debt at the same time. Some debt is “good” debt. A debt is “good” if it brings you income. If you buy a rental property, you’re paying a mortgage, but that’s considered a “good” debt because you’re getting passive income from the rent payments. Credit cards are “bad” debts. If you’ll be carrying a debt for a while, put it to a test. Weigh the interest rate on that specific debt against your potential income growth rate and your potential investment returns over the term of the debt. If the interest rate on that debt looks like it will outpace your income growth and investment returns, then you should really think about paying that debt down fast, because you can’t afford that interest rate. Of course, paying off your debts, paying down balances and restricting new debts all works toward improving your FICO score, another tool you can use in pursuit of financial freedom (we’re talking “good” debts). Implement or refine an investment strategy. You can’t refrain from investing, even when the bears are out. You’re not going to retire on the relatively small elective deferrals from your paycheck; you’re going retire on the interest that those accumulated assets earn over time, plus the power of compounding. Investing can also potentially bring you passive income. Consistent investing, this year and in years to come, has the potential to help you improve your financial life. Manage the money you make on your way to financial freedom. It’s amusing: all these Internet gurus tell you they have a method to make you “financially free” or “debt free,” but few tell you how to manage the money you make. Their not-so-subtle message seems to be “succeed and live lavishly” – if you make it financially, you’ve earned the freedom to blow it all on cars, boats and luxuries. This is a classic nouveau riche mistake. If you simply accumulate unmanaged assets, you have money just sitting there open to risk – inflation risk, market risk, even legal risks. Don’t forget taxes – while not technically a “risk”, they are a threat to your money. The greater your wealth, the more long-range potential you have to accomplish some profound things – provided your wealth is directed. If you want to build more wealth this year or in the near future, don’t neglect the risk management strategy that could be instrumental in helping you retain it. Your after-tax return matters even more than your investment return, so risk management should be part of your overall financial picture. Request professional guidance for the wealth you are growing. A good financial professional will really help to educate you about the principles of wealth building. You can draw on that professional knowledge and guidance this year – and for years to come.

Changes will require callers to dial new regional area code

September 2, 2009

Hi! And what do you think of this? Is it interesting for you? If so, I/m waiting for your comments!

Northern Wisconsin residents’ fingers will soon get an additional workout as they will be required to enter an area code to make a local phone call.
Because of a shortage of telephone numbers in the 715 area code, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin approved in November a new area code — 534 — that will be used in conjunction with 715, effective Aug. 10, 2010.

Beginning Oct. 17, callers can dial either the seven-digit phone number or the 10-digit number to make a local call. Long-distance dialing still requires a “1″ and the area code.

There will be a nine-month transition period when calls still will be connected without the area code. After July 17, 2010, it will be mandatory to use the 10-digit number and an audio recording will instruct callers to do so if they don’t.

“This will give customers a wide window to start to get used to it,” said Lee Gierczynski, a Verizon spokesman. “We encourage them to start dialing 10 digits as soon as they can.”

Verizon began placing notices last month in customers’ billing statements and plans more notices in the future, Gierczynski said. Charter Communications mailed notices last week.

In addition to typing three more numbers for a phone call, users of speed dial, security alarms, dial-up Internet, fax machines and life lines must remember to change their phone numbers for calls to be connected.

PSC spokeswoman Teresa Smith said the proliferation of cell phones and other communication devices have used up available phone numbers at a rapid rate. A November 2008 forecast predicted that the number of available phone numbers in 715 area code would be exhausted by 2011, according to PSC documents.

The 534 area code will be assigned to new telephone customers starting in August 2010. A similar process is coming for the 920 area code in eastern Wisconsin. A 274 area code will be used in conjunction with 920 starting in March 2012.
