May 21st 2007 20:30

Increasing traffic to Flicker, the company's other photo sharing service, means it has to go. This site will close in autumn, as er the reports of Computer Active, with users given a three month of notice in advance in which to switch their image collection to Flicker or to another photo-sharing site.

What is Residual income? Residual income is what I basically live for. It’s the reason that I no longer work 9 to 5 in the forty-year plan that we all stuck in and it’s the reason why I have just come back from my third family vacation in six months. It’s also the reason that I have no more mortgage and no car payments and that I can afford to have a new bowling ball made and have the cat fixed. The dictionary defines residual income as “Earnings that are accrued on a frequent basis - usually monthly. These earnings are generated from members in a down line. Repeat Business: The situation when a customer returns to purchase a product or service. This is seen as a key endorsement of a business.”


Have you heard of this term before? Basically, it’s when you are earning money day after day, week after week, and month after month without doing any extra work. It’s also when you make a sale once, most likely from a program with a monthly fee, and you get commissions for every month that your customer stays in the program

What "E" Can Do For Your Business

May 18th 2007 15:24
That one small letter, added to words like commerce and business to indicate electronic activity when the World Wide Web first emerged as a commercial limb of the Internet is still forcing changes everywhere. Companies of all sizes are still struggling with how, when, and where to adapt to the new business demands and realities that little “e” imposes.

Confused? Think words like “force” “struggle” and “demand” are a little extreme when talking about an “e”? It may just be a letter, and a little one at that, but the impact it’s had on the world has been tremendous—and we’ve only seen the beginning

eBay businesses face new opportunities and challenges. Every site advancement on eBay makes it easier for more sellers to auction their merchandise. At the same time, this increase in competition also diminishes the potential returns for eBay sellers.
Simple laws of supply and demand dictate that as more eBay sellers put up their items up for auction, they will see lower selling prices for their eBay auctions.
Is there something an eBay seller can do to reverse this trend? Even better, can eBay sellers increase their average sale in the face of the increasing product supply on eBay

Summer Weddings

May 15th 2007 15:11
Wedding bells are chimming in the background signalling that the summer wedding days and planning are here yet again. Weddings are stressful on anybody, whether you're the bride or groom, the parents, the coordinator, or even the ones that are in the wedding. There may be times in which you feel like you have more things on your plate than what you have accomplished.

Weddings can be an extravagant thing or just something small and intimate. It's all on how you plan it and work things out. One big thing that can really get your mind going on what is right for your future spouse are wedding rings. The traditional way to pick out your wedding rings is by going to a jewelry store. But if you don't want the hassle, going online to find the perfect ring is the next best thing. Sometimes going online you can find diamond engagement rings that may fit your budget than shopping retail which may cost you a pretty penny

You talk to practically any lender and apply for a loan. They do all the processing and verifications and finally, you own the house and now you have a home loan and you make mortgage payments. You might be making payments to the company who originated your loan, or your loan might have been transferred to another institution.

The company you make your payments to very rarely owns your loan. They are the "servicer" of your mortgage. They are called the servicer because they are simply "servicing" your loan for the institution that does own it

1) Pay yourself first - This is a must for self-employed individuals, for owners of small businesses, and for anyone not covered by a company retirement plan. There are many financial temptations that face you every time you receive your salary / pay cheque. But if you don't take some out for yourself and put it into some form of investment vehicle, with planning for later life in mind, no one else will do it for you. The principle of Pay Yourself First is explained in the financial classic, "The Richest Man in Babylon," by George C. Clason.

2) Increase your assets, reduce your liabilities - Asset means: something that will put money in your pocket over time. Liability means: something that will cost you money over time. When you have money burning a hole in your pocket it's all to easy to buy things you think you need: New Car, Expensive Stereo Equipment etc. For example: You buy a luxury car for £30,000 over a period of 10 - 15 years chances are it will be worth a very small percentage of what you paid for it. However if you bought a £15,000 car & invested the other £15,000 wisely, your investment over 10 years could easily be worth £30,000 & possibly much more, which in theory means your initial outlay of £15,000 for your car has been recouped. Free car! You work hard for your money, make sure your money works hard for you. This principle and others vital to wealth are discussed at length in the best-selling book, "Rich Dad Poor Dad," by Robert T. Kiyosaki, with Sharon L. Lechter, C.P.A
