Term of the Day - Adjustable Rate Mortgage

ARM. A mortgage with an interest rate that may change, usually in response to changes in the Treasury Bill rate or the prime rate. The purpose of the interest rate adjustment is primarily to bring the interest rate on the mortgage in line with market rates. The mortgage holder is protected by a maximum interest rate (called a ceiling), which might be reset annually. ARMs usually start with better rates than fixed rate mortgages, in order to compensate the borrower for the additional risk that future interest rate fluctuations will create.

Unit Trust

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Term of the Day - Unit Trust

An SEC-registered investment company which purchases a fixed, unmanaged portfolio of income-producing securities and then sells shares in the trust to investors. The major difference between a Unit Trust and a mutual fund is that a mutual fund is actively managed, while a unit investment trust is not managed at all. Capital gains, interest and dividend payments from the trust are passed on to shareholders at regular periods. If the trust is one that invests only in tax-free securities, then the income from the trust is also tax-free. A unit investment trust is generally considered a low-risk, low-return investment. Some investors prefer Unit Trusts to mutual funds because Unit Trusts typically incur lower annual operating expenses (since they are not buying and selling shares); however, Unit Trusts often have sales charges and entrance/exit fees. also called fixed investment trust or participating trust or Unit Investment Trust (UIT).

Business Ethics

Can you hear me now?

This morning while I was doing some research for an upcoming article, I had a few questions about the information I was finding. I clicked on the "Contact Us" button on the site, and up came the PR contact for the company. I got his name, address, phone, fax and e-mail.
As I picked up the phone to call him, I rehearsed what I would say in my head...
"Hi, I'm a writer for CareerBuilder.com..." no, that doesn't sound right. "Hey, I'm looking for some more information on..." no, not that either.

I hung up. As I clicked on the contact's e-mail address and I quickly typed out my request, I thought about my actions. Why couldn't I just pick up the phone and call the guy? It's not like I was in 6th grade and calling my crush or anything.

And then it occurred to me - I sort of forgot how.

When it comes to the phone, the only people I really talk to are my friends and family - at work, e-mail is my choice of communication. In a time where technology rules, this isn't surprising, so I thought that if I'm having a problem, other's might be too.

Here's a quick lesson in telephone etiquette from Marjorie Brody, author of "Professional Impressions: Etiquette for Everyone, Every Day."

When the telephone rings...

Answer all calls within three rings, Brody advises. When you pick up, smile (she says it will come through in your voice) and identify yourself. For example, "Victoria Smith speaking" or "This is Victoria Smith."

Screening your calls

Everyone is busy - there's nothing wrong with having your assistant screen your calls, or screening them yourself - as long as everyone is getting screened, and not just certain people.
If you use voice mail to answer your calls, Brody suggests keeping your outgoing message up-to-date with the time you expect to return or be available.

Calling back

The sooner, the better, Brody says. Always return a phone call within 24 hours. Even if the call isn't about something you can help with, let the caller know so he or she can look elsewhere for help.

Scheduling a conversation

Scheduling a phone call is the same as scheduling a meeting, Brody says. You wouldn't ignore a meeting or appointment you made, so don't "stand up" someone who is waiting to speak with you.

Holding a conversation

Keep your full attention on the person you're talking to , no matter what else is going on around you, Brody says. Concentrate on listening - not on checking your e-mail, not doodling on a notepad - listening.

When you are the caller

Before calling, get organized. Know what you want to say and accomplish, Brody says. (This was my problem earlier!) Identify yourself immediately.

Oh, and never make any comments in your work area until after you've hung up, Brody says.

Even then, make sure it's on the hook - you don't want the other person to hear anything you say if they're still on the line.

Speakerphones
Plain and simple, unless you're on a conference call, using speakerphone is rude - don't do it, Brody says.
Voicemail

Office Etiquette Permalink Comments (3) TrackBack (0)

You want your voice mails to be professional, Brody says. Keep the message brief; speak slowly and enunciate; and give your name and number at the beginning and end of the message.

Top 7 Reasons Why You Should Have A Website

Having a website has become a true necessity nowadays. Here you will find all the required website resources in one place - 24/7 web hosting services complemented with FREE bonuses such as popular php scripts, marketing tools and a website builder, among others.

* Personal website* Business website

Having a website of your own equals entering into an invaluable communication environment. There are at least 7 reasons why it is highly advisable for you to be present online:

1. Represents your personal profile

A website can be your virtual portrait, showing off your personal self to the world on a 24/7 basis. Among the most popular ways of presenting your personality online is keeping a webblog (otherwise known as online diary) or a photo gallery, where your friends can stay up-to-date with your daily living.

2. Spreads your voice across the world

A website can be your global "tribune" where you are able to share your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with people who have common interests, but with whom you might not otherwise have crossed paths. A very popular idea-voicing tool is the discussion board, better known as "forum". You can also have a guestbook on your site, where people can discuss your postings.

3. Lets you be in touch with people at a distance

A website can be a meeting place for making new acquaintances with people of different religion, nationality and age, as well as for keeping in touch with friends who may be on the other side of the world. Thanks to the almost unlimited online communication possibilities you can conduct one-to-one conversations with many different people directly from your website.

4. Broadens disabled people's interaction with the world

A website empowers people with limited access, due to handicap or illness, to broaden their communication with others. A website can be a physically disabled person's door to the dynamic world, allowing him/her to bridge over the difficultiesof having a "different" everyday life. It can even be their office, where they can present and deliver certain home-made products/services directly from their living room.

5. Creates a web skill development environment

A website can introduce you to the secrets of www. The contemporary web design technologies have brought the art of creating a website just a few clicks away from the inexperienced user. Thanks to the popular WYSWYG (what you see is what you get) web design tools, absolutely everyone (irrespective of age or education degree) can build their own web page without any previous experience.

6. Makes extra profit for you with minimum investment on your part

A website can make residual profit for you, while you are sleeping or enjoying your free time. Thanks to the up-to-date techniques for bringing traffic to your website, you can earn easy money by simply having visitors click on certain product/service promos or links that are relevant to your site content pages (e.g. Google Adsense/Adwords ad solutions) without any initial investment.

7. Makes you a member of the biggest community of the world

A website is a must-have personal attribute nowadays, just like mobile phones and computers are. The fast developing technologies have converted having a website from a whim into a modern necessity.

As of today, almost everyone has a web site, whereas twice as many people are expected to be having their own personal space in the global World Wide Web cosmos in the near future. Be forward-thinking, join this trend now.

Having a website of your own provides your business with invaluable advantages over the traditional advertising channels. There are at least 7 reasons why you should present your business online:

1. Increased customers' convenience:Searching for businesses and products over the Internet is much easier and quicker than leafing through the Yellow Pages. Anytime a potential or existing customer wants to find out more about your business, they can easily do that, especially if you have an "F&Q" section added. Your customers can be always in touch with you, all they need to know is the address of your website.

2. Greater accessibility to your business profile:Your business profile will be accessible from EVERYWHERE. No other ad channel provides such global coverage. You will not depend any more on restricted presentations based on phone book entries. What is more important, more and more customers nowadays resort to the Internet when searching for products, services and businesses.

3. Greater opportunities for promoting your business portfolio:People can`t buy your products or services if they don`t know that they actually exist. Through a WEBSITE you can tell your potential audience much more than you could possibly do via any print advertisements, Yellow Pages listings, or TV/radio commercials. There are no limitations with regard to space and time, nationality and residency. You can say as many things as you want, to as many people as wish. And your business representation can be as resourceful as is the Internet.

4. Low-cost efficient advertising:Practically, what happens is - your website runs a NON-STOP PROMOTION of your business! Your customers are always able to obtain up-to-date and thorough information about your services or products. Instead of having to rely on randomly aired TV or radio commercials, they can simply browse through your website whenever they have time or need to.

5. Around-the-clock availability:A website is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It will be your hardest-working employee, never getting sick, or taking holiday. And you can always rest assured that your website is there for you - to answer to your customers` questions, or to collect their feedback instead of you.

6. It saves time:With a website, prospective customers can learn about you and your business at any time of the day or night without you having to be all the time pre-occupied with the process. The time you would otherwise spend on answering or re-directing of your customers` questions can be now saved and invested in further activities to increase your profits, in other words - in further expansion of your business.

7. It saves money:You can save a lot of money spent otherwise on print and postage costs for brochures, coupons, flyers, specials, newsletters, and other mailings. Furthermore, while regular renewals of printed materials can be quite expensive and also time consuming, updating information on your website is always handy, fast and most important - amazingly efficient. As we all know, nothing is more valued in a business than optimal productivity for minimal input costs.

"How to market my business"

6 Red Hot Tips To Get Your Articles Read

MyinternetBusiness: How to market my business:

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.

"Ten career-damaging behaviours to avoid."

1. Poor Time Management

Missing deadlines, failing to abide by agreed timelines, arriving to meetings late and generally disrespecting approved schedules is a surefire way to lose credibility and professional respect. Try to value each and every minute on the job and recognize the inefficiencies that arise from procrastination and slovenly time management and the impact these have on the organisation as a whole.

2. Failure to Deliver on Promises

A promise made should be a promise kept if your professional credibility is to remain intact. Avoid making promises you cannot deliver on. Unless you are known as someone who can be strictly depended on to follow through and deliver on time you are likely to be passed over for promotions and key assignments. When you do need more time or resources for an assignment communicate the requirement formally and professionally and manage the situation to show you are in control and will not be sacrificing on quality of delivery.

3. Poor Accountability

Accountability, a close reactive of honesty is an essential character trait in today’s workplace. Avoid becoming known as the sour apple who usurps all credit and circumvents all blame. If you have made an error, admitting to it in a timely manner avoids an unnecessary escalation, earns you the confidence and respect of those around you, and indicates professionalism, honesty and maturity.

4. Poor interpersonal skills

All research indicates that emotional intelligence and people skills are an essential ingredients for success in life and at work. Whether it is suppliers, clients, superiors, colleagues or subordinates you are dealing with the quality and success of that relationship will be largely predicated by how personable you are and how pleasant you are to interact with. If you have a reputation as someone who is difficult to work or interact with chances are people will start to avoid you and your success at mobilizing people or resources to further your goals will be severely diminished.

5. Poor team skills

A good team-player is able to work cohesively within a team framework and contribute, collaborate, communicate and challenge to meet specific goals within that framework. Inability to see beyond one’s self, work well with everyone, find the good qualities of others in the team, communicate persuasively and effectively, listen actively and attentively, give and welcome input, offer encouragement and assistance where needed and show respect, patience and courtesy inevitably leads to marginalization and failure to meet personal and professional goals.

6. Lack of ethics or professionalism

Conducting personal business on the job and any other activities that show flagrant disrespect for company time, resources and property are both unethical and unprofessional. Chatting endlessly on the job, office gossip, wasting office supplies, laying about important work-related matters, back-biting the boss, spreading office secrets, routinely bringing personal matters to the workplace all fall under this category.

7. Lack of initiative

Complacency is a surefire road to professional mediocrity. To succeed it is essential that you continue to show enthusiasm, stretch the limits, be proactive and test the boundaries in the interest of innovation. Take responsibility for your personal and professional growth and continue to build momentum in your training and profession development activities. If you chose to simply lie low and casually bide your time while others race ahead in their careers you will most probably be overlooked for promotions and plum assignments and your skills may well eventually become redundant.

8. Inability to Handle Pressure

Every job entails a certain amount of stress and pressure and failure to recognize and handle the strain may lead to a pronounced and sustained decline in performance. Learn to recognize stress and cope with it professionally and effectively. Take breaks and holidays when needed, learn to manage stress and cope with pressure so that it is not an ongoing problem for you. It may be that the pressures mounting on you are due to poor time management or delegation skills or weakness in a certain area in which case developing your skills in these areas is highly advisable.

9. Lone Ranger Syndrome

Team skills are essential in today’s marketplace as is getting along with others and communicating your accomplishments regularly and professionally. Do not try to isolate yourself and excel quietly in private as chances are your performance will not get the exposure and credit it deserves. Personal marketing and effective relationship management are key to career success. Aim to regularly and professionally communicate your private coups to your manager and others in a position to help your career advancement and do not assume your great work and personal victories will automatically get noticed and given the credit they deserve.

10. Stasis

You may well be in your comfort zone and doing very well there but if you don’t challenge yourself in pursuit of further growth and development and continuously move forward and upward you may lose your equilibrium sooner than you expected. Have a vision in mind as pertains to your career and formulate a clear strategy and timeline for getting there which you can regularly benchmark and measure yourself against. Continuous learning, development and self-improvement is a necessity not a luxury for today’s ambitious professional and it is imperative that you keep abreast of the latest trends, tools and technologies in your field and not risk losing ground to the star performers who take personal growth more seriously.

"How to Handle Business Effectively"

Strategic Partnerships Are Like Marriage, How to choose them for Greater Success

You might not know it, but strategic partnerships abound. Think about your own life. Are you married? Committed to a significant other? If so, you are living in a form of a strategic partnership. Both individuals bring something to the relationship that the other values and sees as being beneficial. It's similar in business. A strategic partnership should be a relationship in which both parties bring something to the relationship that each considers a valuable asset.

When you decide you're ready to take the leap into a strategic relationship, contact your potential strategic partner and go out for a brainstorming session. Decide if you think the relationship will benefit both of you and how. Spell out how each of you thinks the relationship will work, and who is responsible for doing what and when. Strategic partnerships can become a source of discontent if things are not clearly outlined in the beginning. Sometimes, there are people who say they're looking for a strategic partnership, but they're really only in it for what they can get out of it.

A strategic partnership is just that ' a partnership in which each party brings something to the table and is willing to work to make sure the other partner is satisfied in the relationship. A strategic partnership can either be like a great marriage or a marriage gone badly; either way, it will take work and a commitment on the part of each business involved.

Just like you don't want to rush into marriage, you probably don't want to rush into a strategic partnership. Date for a while. Try a couple of projects before you commit to a long-term relationship. Make sure the other party is as committed to the relationship as you are and is willing to do their share. The great thing about a strategic partnership is that, hopefully, you'll be partnering with someone who has a different set of strengths than you do. Learning to capitalize on each other's strengths and minimize each other's weaknesses is one of the reasons strategic partnerships are so valuable. Like a marriage, you can learn to work together when you've found the right strategic partner.

Be creative when you think about potential strategic partnerships. Do you do pedicures? How about partnering with a person who sells sandals or women's clothing? Are you a make up artist? How about partnering with an image consultant? Or having the image consultant partner with a tailor? One cosmetic consultant creatively partnered with a travel agent because she had a product line that would take a normal bag of makeup and reduce it to 4 purse size pieces for the woman who traveled. There are no limits to strategic partner opportunities when you begin to think about who touches a market that is similar to yours.

As in any relationship, you may hit a few bumps in the road, but if you've done your homework and chosen someone who is like-minded in their philosophy, you will be able to weather the storm and make your partnership work for you.

"What Are Pros and Cons of Search PPC Advertising?"

It is better to know beforehand advantages and disadvantages of any system you use. It is foolhardy to try a thing without knowing both sides of it.

Like anything else, pay per click advertising has advantages and disadvantages.

Traffic: PPC provides you with instant visitors.Your ad is immediately visible and clickable. That means visitors within minutes. PPC is matchless in this aspect.

You Control Advertisement: It is entirely up to you when you want your ad to be shown, where you want your ad to be shown. You choose the price and you choose the content. It is entirely your game. you are master of your campaign. You can track and monitor your ad results and modify accordingly. You can also choose the geographical area or type of websites you intend to target.

Targeted Visitors: Because the searchers are already looking for something related to your product or site and your advertisement would be shown for relevant keywords only, you get a set of highly charged and targeted visitors who are more likely to convert into customers.

Pay Only For Click: There are no charges for ad impressions or ad view. You would pay only when somebody clicks your ad. That means you pay for visitors to your website and not for ad display.

Easy To Use: Even a newbie can set up PPC campaigns within minutes. You only need to write an advertisement and choose the relevant keywords. The process itself is self guiding.

Minimum Website Inputs Required: Conventional search marketing method emphasized on developing content and adding pages so that your site stands out from your competitors. But with PPC, you need to compete with your fellow bidders only and you can get a good placement for your choice of keywords. That is a great advantage.

Disadvantages

Its Not Free: You need to have a separate budget for your PPC campaign. This could be a huge disadvantage for small business owners and starters when compared with free methods of traffic generation.

Visitors would come through click and you pay for each click. While few of them may like tocome back but in case of PPC, generally the traffic stops the moment campaign stops.

Learning Curve: While setting up an ad is effortless for the new person also but it takes time and experience to know what works. There is a danger of great losses initially.

Competition: As PPC grows in popularity, more and more advertisers and big houses are coming with big budgets. Incresing competition means bid price war which will push prices high enough and beyond the reach of small business owners.

Good Conversion Mechanism: Most of the searchers are looking for information and may not be interested in what you are selling. It would be a wasted money if visitors goes without any action on your website. Therefore, you need to place a good mechanism to convert your visitors into leads or customers. You need to optimize your site for that maximum effect.

Pay Per Click advertising is useful for getting quick traffic. However, it is important to see what you can spend and how you would work to gain maximum from your campaign. It is important that you make more money from the PPC traffic than you spend on it. That would turn your PPC campaign into powerful and profitable advertising method.

Making money online (the easy way, which you're looking for!)

Are you looking for ways to make money online?


A relatively easy way, that anyone can accomplish?
Well, I have found one, it's called Bux.To!

Okay, cool, so what's it like?!
Bux.To is a site where you get approx 15 links to click every day
(or more if you have a so-called premium membership)

Each click is worth 0,01$, so how is this a serious way to make money?
Every day you will make 0,15$, if you upgrade for premium it will become $0.125 for each click.
With premium you get 30+ links per day, so you would get 0,50$ a day.

But that's just the basic concept, if you want to make LOTS, like at least 50$ a day, it's even EASIER.
All you need to do is buy so called 'refs', which are people like you who do clicking as well.
You get paid for every click they make, isn't that wonderful?
You invest a little bit of money, and get back 5 times that amount, it just may take a couple of weeks.

Well, I guess that's pretty much all you want to read for now.
If I got you interested then make sure you sign up as soon as possible.

Please use the following link to go to the site: http://bux.to/?r=bram_

Not convinced? I suggest you look around on the web for success stories on so called blogs.
Many people have confirmed payments and that it indeed does really work.

I have been using this site now for over a year, probably one of the best sites out there.
It's real people, you should really try it!

What You Should Know - Before Joining an Online Business System

Finding a legit way to make money online can be a frustrating process. With the ten’s of thousands of scams out there today, it is normal for one to be skeptical when encountering online money making opportunities. Here we will go over a few things to look for and lookout for when searching for legit internet business opportunities.

First, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Sorry if I just burst your bubble, but it’s all too easy to fall victim to promises of becoming a millionaire by next week. If you are desperate like most of us who want to be our own boss’ you’ve probably been scammed before. In addition to that, you probably earned zero dollars from these programs. Not even the gurus that have a certain money making system mastered, makes $2,000 a day straight away. It takes knowledge of what works and what doesn’t work, persistence, patience, time, and in most cases money.

Next, make sure the program offers a risk free money back guarantee. Don’t go spending your money on a program that doesn’t pay you back if you aren’t satisfied. This is a great way to separate legit online money making programs from the scammers. It also gives credibility to the program. If the creator of the program is confident in his system and you can really make money from it, they will have no problem offering you a refund.

Third, good customer support is important. Check the customer support section of the programs website for contact information and ask a few questions. If you have to wait for an email response, you should receive a reply within 24 to 48 hours. If it takes longer than this, dump that program and move to the next.

Last but not least, search the web for reviews and recommendations. This will help you to decide which programs you should try out. A real person has already tested, tried, and compared several different online money making systems or home based businesses for you, and in turn, recommends only those programs that they’ve actually made money with. This will also show you that there is a ridiculously high percentage of home based business or online money making scams out there, and very few are legitimate.

This should give you an idea of some important things to lookout for when you are on the road to making money online. Fairytale promises of getting rich quick are usually major exaggerations made by someone trying to take your money. Do not spend your money unless there is a money back guarantee, so if the program doesn’t add up to what it was hyped up to be, you lose nothing.

Good customer support is very important in determining what kinds of people you are dealing with. Reviews and recommendations will help you to make a somewhat educated decision when deciding which online money making system you should go with. In your journey to making money online, remember the 3 – Peat; when you’re persistent and patient you’ll persevere. I call it that because when you do the first and the second, the third happens, and then just repeat it over and over again. Big money talk.
