The makers of these so-called get rich in the note-brokering markets offers the purchaser of their product dreams of riches with little or no effort on their part. “Just simply buy our course and be on your way to living a financially independent lifestyle.” This is the famous tag line that these infomercials use to trap those who are looking to get ahead into buying their product. As a Master Note Broker for some years now I can assure you this is the furthest thing from the truth.

Note Brokering is a highly competitive field as well as a field in which you must first know the local finance laws of your state. In many states you must be registered with the Department of Securities as a Business Broker. I know these infomercials do not tell you that this can cost up to $1,000 when you buy their product. The next thing you are not aware of when you buy these products is that what they give you for your hundred or two hundred dollars is just a basic overview of the industry. You will nine times out of ten be sold on the idea of going to one of their $5,000 dollar seminars to get advanced training. The promoters of these products claim it is just a small investment in what will turn out to be a huge money making business opportunity. “Don’t buy into that non-sense!” There are many outlets available through your local library that will help you get the overview of the business for free. Many books have been written on the subject of Note Brokering, use these resources first and save yourself hundreds of dollars on materials or courses that are not worth a dime to you.

Once you determine that this business is for you then it’s time to get with a Master Note Broker who will help you get your foot into the door. A mentor will help educate you in particular areas of the business, these mentors are critical for your success. Once you have the guidance of a Master Broker you need to get out there and Network with those who will be vital to your success. Real Estate Agents, Business Brokers, Real Estate Brokers will be vital to your success in the Note Brokering field. When you first start out in the business more then likely you’ll be working with 1st tier mortgage notes. These are notes that are held by an owner of the property who wishes to seller finance a transaction. Without a broad network you will find it hard to find the notes you are looking for.

Lastly it is recommended that you study marketing. In order to bring notes to your attention the broker must advertise his or her business effectively. “You have a service someone needs.” This must be central to any advertising campaign and you must convey to a potential note holder why they should use your service. There are thousands of brokers in the United States today- You as a Note Broker must convey to holders of an financial instrument why they should use your services. There is much to learn in this industry, more then you’ve been led to know by these people who launch infomercials on late night t.v. A question I would like to pose to the reader who is thinking about getting into the note brokering business. “If these so called brokers where making so much money in the Note Brokering field, why would they waste their time trying to sell you a product that would compete with them in the market place?” I offer a simple answer to that question. “The note brokering field isn’t as easy as they make it out to seem!” In following articles I will go more into detail on the subjects covered in this article. Remember as I close! Use common sense when choosing a business to invest in. Make sure that you have done your research before falling pry to these late night crooks.

Acid Reflux and the Emergency Room – An Insider’s Report

Do you remember what it felt like to be rushed into that part of the hospital, believing you had a heart attack, having trouble breathing, and having no idea what is going to happen next?

If you are like me, I’m sure you can recall the emotions in that particular event (especially the first time it happened). After calming you down with powerful sedatives and a series of tests, the truth was revealed. You don’t have a heart problem. You have what is known as Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disorder (GERD) or simply Acid Reflux. And for awhile you experienced what is known as Heartburn.

Nothing serious, claims the doctor and her nurses (or so they say).

You take a minute or so to thank God that it wasn’t something worse, and the resident doctor assures that you’re not alone as that other guy in the ICU was just diagnosed with GERD and gives you a short talk about stress and diet and how it creates and aggravates one’s reflux. She gives your needed emergency medicine, a medical prescription, along with an advice to get a follow up check-up from a specialist.

Obviously, you follow doctor’s orders, take all the recommended treatment and get back to a normal lifestyle. Which lasts for 2 weeks tops. Then it happens.

Again.

You’re rushed back to the emergency room. For the same thing.

Why?

According to gastro-enterologists (people who specialize in digestive disorders), acid reflux occurs when stomach acid backs up into the lower esophagus up to your throat and causes irritation. The levels of reflux vary as it can simply be an occasional nuisance but if not taken cared of, can turn into a life-threatening disorder.

But why doesn’t the prescribed medicine eliminate the problem? What’s wrong with taking these drugs?

1. Liquid or regular antacids (e.g. Maalox, Tums, Kremil)

2. Medicine to reduce acid secretion (e.g. Nexium, Prevacid, Losec, Zantac)

3. Medicine to improve stomach muscle action (e.g. Motilium, Plasil)

Almost everyone who has GERD, knows that they are only prescribed these types of medication for 1-2 weeks. After that, they are supposed to stop and the medicine supposedly should do its job. More often than not however, this is not the case.

But when you are rushed to the E.R. again, you are still given the exact same thing (or in larger dosages this time). In a worse scenario, you’re given additional medication.

Have you ever asked yourself why conventional medicine focuses more on acid reflux symptoms instead of the root cause of the problem? Why they insist on using the “band-aid” approach of treatment when there are natural and safer ways to get rid of your condition… for good?

It’s a good thing someone told me about them before it was too late.

Real Free Stuff – An Insiders Guide to Getting Free Product Samples

Everyone has heard the old expression “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” The idea of getting something for free online automatically has any one with the slightest bit of skepticism asking what the catch is. Is it really possible to get stuff for free online without giving over any billing information at all? The short answer is yes, it is possible. You really can get free samples of shampoo, makeup, toothpaste, soap and virtually anything the average person uses. Many times large brand name companies will run legitimate free sample offers on their websites. To request a sample you only need to fill in your information and hit submit. They will have a designated number of free samples to distribute and it will be first come first serve. They wont charge for shipping, and will send you free samples of their products in the mail.

What’s the catch?

The catch is that you can never truly be sure if a sample you request will actually show up. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. There are several factors that play into if a free sample will actually be sent to you. The first and most important factor is supply. Companies have a limited supply of free samples to give out so when they reach that number there might be thousands of people who still haven’t gotten their sample. Also another factor that will play into whether or not a sample will arrive is location. The cost of shipping gets higher for the companies giving out the samples the further away they have to ship them. So, almost every free sample offer is limited to a certain geographic region (mostly North America).

Avoiding Scams

Scams, fake offers, SPAM, call it what you will the end result is the same. There are sites that claim something is free and either by cleverly worded fine print or straight out lying never really send anything to anyone for free. Spotting scam freebies at first can be tricky but once you learn the things to look for it’s really just common sense. How much does the product being offered cost? If it’s more than a few dollars chances are that it’s fake. There is no such thing as a free iPod or laptop. Also, look at the homepage of the site offering the free sample. What business are they in, does it make sense for their company to have samples of the product they are offering? For example: if a site about ringtones is offering free shampoo it’s most likely a scam. But if it’s an online cosmetics store that’s offering small samples of their cheapest lip gloss there’s a better chance that it’s real. Also ask yourself if the information the site is asking for makes sense. Are they saying they are going to mail you something but not asking for your address? There are exceptions but generally most real free samples will ask for your email address, name, mailing address, and phone number.

Avoiding Junk mail

Another thing to keep in mind is spam and junk mail. Unfortunately it’s unavoidable when attempting to get freebies. Even legitimate free samples will still keep you on their mailing lists long after they send your sample. In fact in most cases it’s the reason they offer something free in the first place. But this is easy to manage if you know how. First set up a separate e-mail address that you will only use for requesting free samples. You can’t give a fake e-mail address because you will have to click links in confirmation e-mails before they will mail to you. Next, think up a pseudonym and use it as your name when you are requesting freebies. The fake name is helpful because it makes sorting junk mail easy, and keeps your real name off those pesky commercial mailing lists.

Where to look

Now that you know the basics of how real free samples work, it’s time to cover how to find them. There are many different sites that all serve the same purpose, finding real free samples and letting their visitors know where they are. It is important to understand that these freebie sites are not the party actually offering the free samples. The websites you will become familiar with will actually be more like the yellow pages making the freebies easy to find. How do they find the freebies for their site you might ask? By checking out what the other freebie sites are linking to. What this means is that real freebies spread very very quickly. One freebie site will find a sample and post a link to it. Then 2 more freebie sites will see that link and put one on their own site, then 4 more from there, and so on until it’s on every freebie site. There really is no ONE freebie site that you should use. But rather you should get familiar with them and pick out 2-3 freebie sites to check regularly for new samples to request. Finding these sites is as easy as doing a Google search for ‘free samples’, ‘freebies’, ‘free stuff’, etc…

Playing the numbers game

On average no less than 80% of the free samples you try to request will never show up for one of the reasons listed above. This means that requesting only one or two freebies wont be enough to swing the odds in your favor. Instead visit your favorite freebie sites every day and request every single new freebie you see. On average there are no more than 7-10 new freebies available daily. This may sound very time consuming but there is a great trick to automate requesting free samples. All you need to do is download and install Google toolbar. It’s virus free and wont mess up your computer. Once you have Google toolbar installed go into it’s options then go to the the “auto-fill” tab. There you will be able to type in your fake name from earlier, your real address, and your separate e-mail address and save all of it.

Then when you are on a website asking for that information you only need to click the auto-fill button on Google toolbar and the request form will be filled out for you automatically! This means that without auto-fill it may take over an hour to request 10 free samples, but with it that same amount of request could take under 5 mins. Then it’s just a matter of setting aside 5-10 mins every day to request every new sample you see. If you are consistent about it you will have more than enough requests to swing the odds in your favor. Then your daily visits to your mail box will be like an exciting free sample lottery. Some days you’ll win and there will be a freebie for you. Other days there will be nothing. But it’s always exciting and you never know what you are going to get!

Insider’s Guide to Getting a Job in Manchester

Manchester is one of the up-and-coming cities of the UK. The Greater Manchester area has been growing steadily since 2007 and is one of the areas of the UK that has recovered most quickly from the credit crunch recession. It is the second largest functional financial region outside of London and shows a growth rate of almost twice that of the majority of UK urban areas. The expansion has been fuelled by large scale investment in services industries, particularly the financial sector. Some of the major businesses with offices and large employee bases in the Manchester region are Vodafone, the BBC, Thomas Cook, the Guardian, Kellogs, ITV and the heinous internet ogre Google.

Between them, they provide a wealth of job opportunities, however, the appeal of Manchester to job seekers is that there are also plenty of other industries. The main industry is the financial sector; banking and insurance but other opportunities are available in retail and telesales in particular. Manchester is a centre of excellence for the service sector including logistics. The latter is natural since Manchester is at the hub of the UK’s transport network with motorways and rail links radiating out in all 4 cardinal directions. There are some highly specialised niche industries that have centred on the area for example, biotechnology and environmental technology; perhaps due to the presence of the Manchester Institute of Technology (MiT) which produces many scientific and technically qualified experts.

On a human scale rather than economical scale, the city and its environs are cosmopolitan and there is a thriving cultural scene. The latter has attracted creatives to the city – check any search engine and you will find pages of advertising agencies and other creative companies based here. These include digital and print advertising, packaging design, marketing, media… the list goes on and on! So not is it a great area for technical job searches, it is also great for those on the other side of the coin looking for creative jobs. Whilst looking through available jobs, I found an unusually high (well it seemed high to me) number of jobs for linguists too – the travel industry required Polish speakers; a car rental company needed someone who spoke excellent Norwegian and there were openings fr French speakers in retail!

Salaries in Greater Manchester are very varied. For telesales and basic retail jobs, they are as low as 12,000, but you don’t have to look far for well paid managerial and technical jobs that offer 40 – 50K plus. So in other words, there is pretty much something for everyone, depending on their skills and experience.

How to find a job in Manchester

Online is a good place to start. It will save you a lot of time and several bus fares! There are thousands of advertised jobs on the usual websites like gumtree, Monster and fish4. But a really good site for job seekers is Reeds, a national recruitment agency as you can see how many others have applied for the jobs in which you are interested. For creative jobs, check out ‘The Drum’ and remember to check out the Guardian jobs pages too.

But before you even start, you should re-vamp your CV. This is best left to professionals who, after exploring the type of employment you are looking for, can provide you with an edge over the others. They will advise you on the best type of CV (yes, there are several effective ways to present a CV) and use your skills and experience to paint you in a very positive light. You, after all, are an amateur in the field, unless of course you are in HR!

Concept of Google AdWords: –

Google has come up with an advertising word tool called “Google AdWords”. It has a bunch of words collected which are bid the highest by online users. Google AdWords is also known as Paid Marketing. The advertisers have to pay to bid those keywords which are present in the paid campaign. Less-Effective keywords reduce the ad rank of the business.

The conceptualization of SEM is done to elaborate the functioning of paid marketing on Google search engine. The major examples of SEM are Google, Bing, Yahoo wherein they allow the advertisers to advertise but through various methods like: –

1.) PPC: Pay Per Click (Advertise is taken into consideration)

2.) CPC: Cost Per Click (AdWords are taken into consideration)

3.) CPA: Cost Per Acquisition (Impressions are taken into consideration)

The most relevant form of advertising through a search engine is PPC Advertising. Pay- Per- Click marketing strategy reduces the wastage of money to an extent. In this paid marketing strategy ads are shown to the users as per the keywords entered by them in the Google search engine. The advertiser’s money will only be deducted when a user will click on their respective ad and will visit the page. The advertiser cannot boost his ad by paying more to go ahead of his competitors. The whole PPC marketing revolves around the keywords used by the users. Thus it is also known as

“Keyword Marketing”. PPC Campaign is effective as it reaches out to a potential audience which is genuinely interested in the product and the ad gets proper exposure in the industry through this marketing tactic.

Importance of PPC Advertising: –

1.) PPC Campaign has a hyper-specific audience that clicks on a particular ad of his taste of interest.

2.) From the monetary aspect, it is well-secured tactic wherein deduction happens on a click.

3.) There is no unwanted impression or surfing happening by clicking the paid marketing ad.

4.) PPC occurs with full authentication through ad auction, each and every keyword is auctioned for a search engine to determine the advertisements validity through Search Engine Result Page (SERP).

PPC Advertising Examples: –

Olay BB Cream had come up with a PPC Marketing tactic which involved site links, an offer, and a trademark.

The mixture of these three elements makes an ad look reliable and eye-catchy because of the stated offer. Site links give an opportunity to the user to click wherever he is amenable to look for the stated product. The registered trademark can accelerate your rank in the search engine.

An Audi PPC Ad Campaign had site links, verbs and social extensions which uplifted the ad in the search engine.

Site links are a sure game changer as they give freedom to a user to know the insights of a product in a more systematic pattern.

Verbs from the ancient times have described an item’s quality in a much better way than writing a simple line. Audi had created one single line that stated “Experience New Audi Luxury Cars and Models at Audi USA.com”.

A social extension with a huge amount of followers changes the game on the Google platform in a wink of a second.

Conclusion: –

A PPC Campaign is the most effective and economical way to deliver paid ads. It is a backbone for growing as well as the giant business’s marketing model. Keywords for generating an ad can be auctioned by bidding and the rank of the business can be known from the Google search engine.

PPC Marketing gives a niche market audience that engages in a product and uplifts the features of it at the same time. It allows displaying ad in a specific demographic or a country globally or locally with time and day preference. It helps in targeting customers and redirect them back to advertiser’s website.

Home Based Network Marketing Insider’s Secret: How to Harness the Power of Tribe Marketing

Let’s face facts. When it comes to starting a home based network marketing business on the web, your goal is straightforward: increase the amount of exposure your content receives, generate leads, and make money.

It doesn’t get much more straightforward than that.

Correct?

But here’s a question: What if you could team up with dozens – or even hundreds – of like-minded home based network marketing pros to help push that kind of traffic to your respective sites, all through the power of social bookmarking?

Consider it a, You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours approach to getting back links and generating huge online exposure, only with the special benefit of automating the entire process so that all you have to do is write your content and then share and be shared.

If you’re like most home based network marketing professionals who are in the know when it comes to generating leads, you’d probably jump at the chance.

The good news is, with the help of what’s known in the industry as “tribe marketing,” you can do just that.

Online tribes are unique community hubs where you as a home based network marketing owner can gather with other MLM pros with the one purpose of auto-syndicating a tribe member’s content to your social media platforms (like Facebook, Twitter, etc.).

In return for the favor, your article is then auto-syndicated by every other member of the tribe, who then broadcast it to their network of social bookmarking services. And so it goes.

The result is a ton of backlinks that will help your home based network marketing articles (and that of those in your tribe) rank high in the search engines.

Pretty nice, yes?

The fantastic thing behind the tribe marketing concept is that it’s all about group cooperation, where every tribe member is helping every other tribe member achieve a ton of backlinks which are the numero uno goal of home based network marketing.

When you use a tribe-based service, you set your account to automatically distribute the content of any member who’s syndicating yours in return and never mess with it again.

In addition, visitors who come to your site through a backlink will never know that your article has been autosyndicated. All they’ll see is that someone within their social network has given your home based network marketing site the virtual okay. That recommendation in and of itself is like getting an endorsement from the person who is referring you, which is fantastic when you’re looking to position yourself as an expert, generate leads, and make commissions.

There are a handful of tribe-based services that offer a no-cost trial account to get you up and running, but they are pretty limited at the free level. If you’re on a shoestring budget, by all means, take advantage of the freebie.

If not, might I make a recommendation?

Purchase a monthly subscription with a tribe-based service (which should cost less than $20 each month), set up your autosyndication relationships with other tribe members, and then turn the tribe loose on your article.

Then, reevaluate after eight weeks or so, and see if your site traffic (and sales) doesn’t jump into overdrive – all thanks to your fellow members in the tribe.
