Top 7 Business Tips For Surviving the Credit Crunch

Saturday, October 17th, 2009
Naz Daud


If you want to grow your business whilst your customers are struggling from the lack of liquidity in capital markets, then you might find that there are things you can do to ensure your balance sheet remains strong, and your business continues to grow. Through following my top 7 tips you’ll find that not only is your business ready to survive the credit crunch, but it’s also far more stable and viable during bullish markets too.

Top 7 – Tip 1

Fighting bad & doubtful debts is a problem that businesses face at any stage in the economic cycle. However, when liquidity’s drying up in the market, you might find the pinch is a bit harder to take. Consider credit insurance, provide discounts for those that pay on time, and don’t be afraid to turn away business if the risk is too great, Before you turn away business, though, consider offering the customer a small discount and asking them to pay up-front. Phasing the sale or only allowing the customer to buy a smaller amount at a time could also help cash flow.

Top 7 – Tip 2

Raising capital might not be the smartest things to do when a lack of liquidity is squeezing the supply-side of the money markets. However, if you have a healthy balance sheet and a good business plan, you may find you can still get a loan at the same price as you would expect. If you’re a company that’s relatively immune from economic sentiment, you will probably be able to raise a round of finance on good terms. And, if you can, you’ll have money to spend on marketing whilst your competitors cut their advertising budgets.

Top 7 – Tip 3

Competing on price is a risky strategy when inflationary pressures are hitting your margins, and consumers are tightening their purse strings. However, when consumers are more price sensitive than ever, and your competitors are looking weak, then there’s never a better time to pounce!

Top 7 – Tip 4

Diversifying income sources is what fund managers have been doing for years. Too much exposure to one asset class, economy, sector, or currency can spell problems for fund managers, and it can cause problems for your business too. For example, why not have your sales team work on drumming up some international business in different markets from the ones they are accustomed to? If you’ve got a strong customer base from the manufacturing industry, why not try to get your sales team going after online businesses and engineering firms too?

Top 7 – Tip 5

Public sector spending will often increase during economic uncertainty as the treasury attempts to inject liquidity into the marketplace. You can pick up this liquidity at the source, from the most credit worthy customer there is, if you are able to win public sector contracts.

Top 7 – Tip 6

Buy now and take advantage of lower interest rates, and less economic activity. You may find suppliers will offer you a discount when their sales aren’t looking to great.

Top 7 – Tip 7

Hiring smart people is much easier when many of them are losing their jobs. Make sure your business considers hiring, especially for positions that will deliver immediate results, when the markets aren’t functioning the way they are supposed to.

The Profit Lance Scam Review – Make Money Online

Friday, October 16th, 2009
R. Sharman


Is Profit Lance just another Scam on making money at home ?

Before you start reading my review of the Profit Lance System, please turn off the TV and any other distractions. The information that I am providing here will allow you to judge for yourself if Profit Lance is a scam or not. Read on …

A little over 5 weeks ago I was surfing the net looking for reviews on earning an income from home. I came across yet another making money opportunity by the name of the Profit Lance System. I read through the website and it sounded pretty good, but I did NOT purchase it right away. You ask yourself why ? Well, in the past I bought 12 Making Money products and none of them delivered the goods. In my opinion they were all scams, because all you received was the author telling you how rich they were and how you can also make a lot of money online … they were painting a picture in my head of what my goal was, but there was no clear path way on how to get there.

I spent over $350 in 5 months on 12 systems and all I got were ebooks. Overall I made around $19 using the methods in the ebooks. They were all just scams probably written by the same person, just marketing them under different names. The mistake I made was not to read any reviews or user comments before I bought them. I wasn’t going to make the same mistake this time. I looked at other reviews of the Profit Lance system, because $67 is a lot of money to spend on one shot. Reading the reviews I noticed that most of the reviewers were happy with the Profit Lance system and that it is not a scam (at least according to them). One review stated that you can make $18,000 a month with the Profit Lance System and most people said that they make between $3,000 to $8,000 a month, since it was scam free. To me all of this sounded unreal. How is it possible to make $18,000 or even $3,000 a month without any inventory ? I tried it in the past, but without any success. These reviews were to good to be true.

I still decided to purchase the Profit Lance System with my credit card, because what I read was very enticing to my eyes (I already spent over $350, another $67 would not kill me … I put in some extra hours at my job the previous week) After purchasing the Profit Lance System, I immediately got an email with my User Name and Password. Profit Lance is not an ebook like most other scams out there. You actually get access to their website and you can even contact them via email for tips and suggestions. This is very important because there is a lot of information given in the Profit Lance System; it took me 3 hours to read through everything. The information provided is not unlike what I have read before, but the difference is that you are shown the proper ways to implement the techniques to make money online. After reading through everything one more time (I did this at night, after work) I started to follow the steps that were provided to me in the Profit Lance System. Trust me when I tell you that this system is unlike the other making money scams that I have tried before. I did not have to purchase anything else and I was able to start right away without spending any more money than the $67 for the actual Profit Lance System. Below you will see my review on a day to day basis showing how much money I made in 1 month:

Sunday: $0.18 | Monday: $0.24 | Tuesday: $0.17 | Wednesday: $0.76 | Thursday: $1.83 | Friday: $0.92 | Saturday: $0.84 (Week 1 Total: $4.94)

Sunday: $0.97 | Monday: $2.24 | Tuesday: $5.17 | Wednesday: $1.98 | Thursday: $3.59 | Friday: $12.40 | Saturday: $32.89 (Week 2 Total: $59.24)

Sunday: $22.56 | Monday: $46.98 | Tuesday: $124.76 | Wednesday: $72.31 | Thursday: $92.70 | Friday: $43.28 | Saturday: $84.12 (Week 3 Total: $486.71)

Sunday: $65.24 | Monday: $92.14 | Tuesday: $32.73 | Wednesday: $81.50 | Thursday: $105.89 | Friday: $68.88 | Saturday: $84.87 (Week 4 Total: $531.25)

Overall, within the 4 weeks I made a total of $1082.14 I do understand that there might be some people that do make $8,000 to $10,000 a month with the Profit Lance System. My experience proved to me that this is not a scam, but making that kind of money is not possible. I think the max you can reach with the Profit Lance system is around $4,000 to $5,000 a month by putting in 1 to 2 hours a day. Overall I would rate Profit Lance a 9 out of 10, since this is the only system that actually made me money online. I hope that my review of Profit Lance helps you in your decision on whether you want to purchase it or not. Hope you enjoyed my review. Thanks.

4 Ways to Make Money as a Travel Writer

Monday, October 12th, 2009
Money For Traveling


Have you ever wanted to travel the world and make money for writing about what you see? It’s not as hard as you may imagine. Using a few underground techniques, you can be making a healthy income in no-time flat for writing about traveling the world!

Here are the ways you can make money as a travel writer:

1) Traditional Method: Selling Your Stories To Travel Magazines and Newspapers.

This is the most common and most well-known method. Ironically, it also pays the least of all the methods.

You can take two paths when selling your article to a magazine. First you can query a magazine on their interest about a particular subject. If interested, they will agree to buy your article if it meets their standards. The second method is to write the article, then try and sell it.

To find magazines and periodicals that purchase travel stories, go to the library and check out the most recent Writers Market and you’ll have over a dozen periodicals that pay anywhere from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand dollars for an article.

The risky side to this is that there are no guarantees of payment, and you must either have a great story or be a great writer to make this work. Not impossible, just tough.

2) Writing For Other People’s Blogs.

If you can write a 400-1500 word post on any given subject, you can sell the post to a blog at a set price. Heres why: Blogs constantly need new content. It’s how they stay fresh with their readers and how they stay well-ranked in the search engines.

However, writing a new post every few days is a difficult task! If you take over that task for a blog owner, you’re going to be saving them a TON of time and effort, providing their readers with great value, and making an income for a project that is relatively easy for you to complete.

You can get paid anywhere from 20 bucks to a few hundred dollars for this kind of writing… and it’s a LOT easier to do that writing for a magazine.

Think of it: You spend a day writing 5 articles and sell the articles for $30 dollars each. Now you’ve made $150 dollars for a couple of hours of work and everyone is happy.

3) Writing for Your Own Blog.

Another option is to write your own blog and use your travel stories to drive traffic to it. You’d be surprised at the number of bored, lifeless people who want to live vicariously through someone traveling the world. You can then monetize your blog by selling adspace or selling products related to your blog. This sounds basic, but it has made many-a-traveler tens and even 100’s of thousands of dollars per year.

4) Completing Writing Projects on ‘Project’ Sites.

There are literally hundreds of writing projects posted every single day on Elance, Guru, DoMyStuff, and other ‘project’ posting websites.

All you have to do is set up a free account as a content provider, then answer people’s requests for writing projects. Once you’re done, the funds will be electronically deposited into your bank account, and you can withdraw the money from any ATM in the world. You can then pick up another project… or complete several projects all at once!

Many projects go for $1000+ dollars, so it doesn’t take a lot of these to be able to travel well and travel often. You can even do the work on the airplane ride to your next destination!

If you have any writing skill at all, you will be able to pick one of these methods and become a well-paid traveler.

How To Make Money Fast Online

Saturday, October 10th, 2009
Linda Lodge


The question has come into everyone’s mind at one point or another.”How do I make money fast?” Luckily for everyone who has ever had that question come to mind there is an answer! There are several ways to make money quickly online, now we will venture through the online category.

3 websites to make money online.

1. Associated Content.

2. Cash Crate.

3. Forum booster.

Let’s begin with associated content. Associated content should be the number one stop for those people who frequently ask themselves, how I could make money fast. Associated Content requires you to write content, which in other words for those who aren’t familiar with the online language, content means articles.

Associated Content requires that you write articles for them, they will pay you anywhere from $3 to $40 for your content.

Most of the time however the bids that they place on your content are for much less than $10. However, this is still a great way to make money online if you can type several articles per day. You may be surprised to see how easy it has become to earn a part time income through writing for Associated Content.

The next site that we will talk about is Cash Crate. Cash Crate is a site that pays you to take surveys. They may pay anywhere from a dollar to possibly a hundred dollars, just for you to take a survey.

Doesn’t sound too bad now does it? The reason they pay you to complete surveys is that companies are willing to shell out loads of cash for in-depth information from their consumers to find out exactly what they word on the street is about their product or services.

They even have a daily survey on the homepage that is guaranteed to make you some extra income; the guaranteed survey on the homepage pays $0.80. It may not seem like much but do the math, over a 30 day time period. That is almost $30 extra dollars just for taking surveys.

Are you still asking yourself that question, how do I make money fast? Well if writing tons of articles and taking surveys doesn’t really sound like your cup of tea, there is always the alternative of Forum Booster.

Forum Booster is a website that pays you $0.10 for each post you make on a forum. This is great for those of us that would be searching and posting on forums either way, why not get paid for it? If you can post sixty posts in 1 hour, you can make $6, which is not that bad for earning money online.

It may not be minimum wage, but you have the advantage of being in the comfort of your own home. You can be in your pajamas sipping coffee while working on posting on these forums. Each post should be a minimum of 12 words, which is not difficult to do at all.

Overall there are tons of ways to make money quickly online but these are just the tried and true and the best of the best.
