Higher Joblessness

2009-10-20T18:08:00.001-07:00

By TOM RAUM, Associated Press Writer Tom Raum, Associated Press Writer – Mon Oct 19, 2:29 pm ET WASHINGTON – Even with an economic revival, many U.S. jobs lost during the recession may be gone forever and a weak employment market could linger for years.
That could add up to a "new normal" of higher joblessness and lower standards of living for many Americans, some economists are suggesting.

How an internet newbie made $3311.40 in 24 hours.

2009-05-26T17:56:00.000-07:00

March 6, 2008 By Kenneth Koh

I just came back from my meeting with Calvin Woon, an internet newbie who made $3311.40 in just 24 hours. I’m going to show you exactly how he did it.
Here’s a summary of how he did it……
The basic idea is he offered a software at Warrior Special Offer (aka WSO) and 100 marketers took up the offer. After some time, he offered a blow out sale (basically a software bundle) to these 100 marketers in his list and made $3311.40 in less than 24 hours.
Sounds simple? No quite because there are a few important factors that contributed to his success. Let me go through the details now:
WSO is a section in the famous Warrior Forum. Many internet marketing experts hang out there looking for cheap but good deals. To make the marketers interested in your offer, you really need to think of something unique. In Calvin’s case, he offered a viral software. To his amazement, many renowned internet marketers took up the offer. Now he has got internet marketing gurus in his list!

What is so special about his viral software? Why are the gurus interested in the software?
Basically, it is a keyword research software. The true power doesn’t lie in the software application but its viral feature. Within the software, he allows the marketers to rebrand 4 banner ads and 2 text ads into the software. And he allows the marketers to give away the software to whoever they like.

Can you see what is happening here?
Imagine you own this viral keyword research software. You rebrand the software with your banner ads and text ads and give this software away to other people. This software will be passed on to hundreds and then thousands of people. Your banner and text ads will be shown to these people every time they use the software. Can you see how viral this can be?
But that’s not all. When these people see the power of the software and want to buy the rebrandable version, which is sold for $37, you will make 100% commission i.e. $37!!
I hope you are starting to see the power of this viral software. That is the reason why other internet marketing gurus are interested in this special offer.

They bought the software, rebranded it with their banner and text ads and distributed it to their list, allowing their list to pass it to whoever they like! At the same time, they kept 100% of the sales of the rebrandable version.
Personally, I think this is a damn smart idea. How I wish I was the one who came out with this idea. Back to how he made $3311.40.

WSO is a place for you to bait big fish. Once you get the big fish, you have to continue adding values to them. For Calvin, he continues to give his customers free software, just to thank them for taking up the offer. The BIG bait came when he bundled 3 of his other viral software and offered them through a special pricing system. In the system, the pricing started at $37, but after every sale, the price will increase by 20 cents! See the trick? Either you get it now or you pay a higher price later!

Guess what was the conversion rate for the offer? More than 50% of them bought the software bundle! The gurus were hooked. Here’s an interesting side story. Calvin launched his blow out sales on the same day and at the same time when Ewen Chia (the world’s No.1 super affiliate) launched his super affiliate membership! Initially, he was worried if that would affect his sales. But guess what, when he launched his blow out sales on 1st December 12pm EST, he was amazed to see that the first sale was from Ewen!! LOL.

Calvin didn’t just stop at the blow out sales. Once the marketers took up the offer, they were offered an upsell package, which is an annual membership which allows them to get 1 brand new rebrandable viral software every month for a year! Another 50% of them took up this upsell package. So in total, he made $3311.40 in 24 hours. The entire campaign actually made him more than $10,000.

That’s it. Calvin had no list to start with, no JV partner, no affiliates and was totally unknown in the world of internet marketing. But he managed to achieve this with a simple idea and some smart marketing strategies I’ve shared with you earlier. If you are interested in Calvin’s viral software and you want to find out why so many gurus are crazy about this software, check it out here.

Become an Online Investigator

2009-01-19T12:48:00.000-08:00

How many times have you watched your neighbor across the street through closed drapes or blinds? Something about him seems suspicious, and your instincts are on the alert regarding this shady neighbor. You see strange people coming and going at all hours of the night, and his house has been broken into three times in the last month. You find yourself wondering why?

Your best friend calls you, distraught, and tells you she thinks her husband is having an affair. She desperately wants to know the truth, but is afraid of a confrontation with him. Another friend was involved in a traffic accident, and the other driver fled the scene. She has his license plate number, but is incredibly frustrated because the police do not seem interested in her case.

If you have ever found yourself in one of these situations, and had an overwhelming urge to find out the answers, you may make a terrific online investigator. Discover the truth through legal investigations online

Imagine being able to search local police records for your neighbor,s address, only to find he has been arrested four times for narcotics violations. Or, you can search the motor vehicles database and local police reports to locate the name and address of your friend's hit-and-run driver. You can also find out where your friend's husband has been going after work, and now you must decide whether or not to tell her the truth.

Having the ability to investigate these relatively simple situations online is easy. Many reputable databases can provide you with unlimited access to millions of public records from all across the country. You have nationwide access to documents that might otherwise never be seen.

Search court documents to find out if your next door neighbor is really a deadbeat parent, or perhaps a convicted child molester. Or search pending foreclosures to get that once-in-a-lifetime deal on a bigger home.
All of this can be done by searching public records legally.

Conveniently protect your family and friends with the power of knowledge
You could go to the courthouse or to the recorder's office, and search all of these records by hand. Or you could use an affordable online service, such as Net Detective, that will immediately transform you from a neighborhood busy body to seasoned investigator. You can have the inside scoop, allowing you to protect yourself, your family, and your friends.

You can have insider information on your neighbor's private lives, or you can check out a new neighbor to make sure they are not a threat to your children. You can find out about your friend's and lover's past histories, and learn how to prevent others from finding out your secrets. Run your own credit check to protect yourself against theft or fraud, especially in this day and age of forgery and identity theft.

Whatever your motivations are, you can become your neighborhood's online sleuth. Within a matter of minutes, you can discover the truth behind your investigations, protecting you and your loved ones with insider knowledge.

More Houston

2008-02-09T11:33:00.000-08:00

Another reason for Houston’s rapid growth has been due to strip annexation. Which is the process of adding areas adjacent to a city into the city’s borders. Basically the city builds a highway to some point outside of it’s borders then claims that it owns everything on both sides of the highway.
Cities contend that annexation is a vital component of municipal development, preventing population loss and resulting urban decline. Critics state it should be limited, giving more control to residents of outlying areas to manage their own affairs. Many cities outside of Houston city limits are quite pleased with their own current city services.

Houston began it’s upward ascent towards the energy capital of the world in 1937 when it acquired the site of it’s first major airport, William P. Hobby Airport. As the city grew, so did it’s airport system. George Bush Intercontinental Airport was added in 1969 and Ellington Field was added in 1984. As the city continues to grow the airport systems are still growing as well.

As mentioned before, I've worked for several wealthy individuals in my days. We often assume that hard work isn't as important as brains, timing, inovation, and luck when it comes to the success formula. I'm here to bust your bubble with cold hard facts. Many successful individuals have mastered the art of climbing up off the ground after major meltdowns. Sure there's a few lottery winners who happen to come up with the right idea at the right time and place but, there's no substitution in the success formula for HARD WORK. So, if you are not willing to pour sweat, time, blood, mental fortitude, dedication and steadfastness into your venture, you best get a day job.

Rich Secret

2008-02-04T20:57:00.000-08:00

Here it is

Your "Secret Weapon" For
Passionate Lovemaking

Suppose you could read a few simple tips and have your partner sexually charged and excited about sex with you again?

While this almost sounds too good to be true, imagine this…

…Your partner comes home from work, too "tired" for sex as usual. You walk over, whisper a few words into their ear and before you know it, you're being passionately kissed.

You stumble towards the bedroom as your clothes disappear from your bodies. Afterwards, you collapse onto the bed exhausted and dizzy with a big smile on your face.

You look into their eyes and notice something. You've rediscovered them. And it feels amazing. But most importantly, that special smile that your partner once reserved only for you, is back.

Sounds too good to be true?

Well it's not. Even the most lazy and "bored to death" partners can be excited about making love with you again… starting tonight! As a matter of fact, it's easier than you think, when you know how.

And that's where I come in.

Most Traffic One Day!

2008-01-25T13:13:00.000-08:00

Looks like my experiment seems to be working. Urchin stats aren't complete til later tonight but, so far seems like this format is showing the best success of all my blogs. So I sit here looking out my dining room view window at the die hard golfers on the course and wonder, how many of them are actually financially free. I don't proclaim to have achieved any great level of financial status. In my opinion I'd say that I'm Pre-Reaganomics Upper Middle class at best. In some circles probably called an emulator. In the hood we say perpetrator. I like studying and learning from those that are wealthy. I've been fortunate and able to amass lots of data on different wealthy individuals. Information about their attributes, quirks, habits, and pet peeve. There's quite a few in my neighborhood. I have a hobby that I call wealth watching. It's similar to bird watching. Often when I'm out during my morning walk I take time to talk to a few of them. I can always tell the seriously affluent from those that are not. It's like reading poker faces. It's not always in the attire. For instance one of my neighbors always dresses in jeans and overalls yet, this same gentleman acquired great sums of money investing in raw land around the Houston area. After talking to him for awhile, one comes to the conclusion that he is indeed quite wealthy. Or what about the the wife turned mistress of a well known recently retired sports icon who lives down the street. She bears all the resemblance of the affluent yet sells exercise tapes to supplement her income. A good friend once said, "I've been rich and I've been poor. Being rich is more fun"

Money and Sex Test

2008-01-25T09:06:00.000-08:00

I heard on the news that sex is on of the biggest tools to market goods and services. Consumers flock to products associated with designed to appeal to one's sexual motivations. How often have we bought a book or movie by it's cover. Personally Sci-fi is my preference but, the statistics show that money and sex go hand and hand. To test this theory, I'm going to utilize the vast collection of pics from my lingerie business to place on some of my blogs. I'm going to gage viewer responses for a period of 1 month. Leave a comment or take the poll.

Money Density

2008-01-24T15:08:00.000-08:00

The ability to attract great sums of wealth. Some have it, some don't. It's been said that if all the money in the world was divided and distributed evenly, those that are currently wealthy would have most of their wealth back within 48 hrs. Why is that?

Rich is to Poor as Health is to?

2008-01-24T07:30:00.000-08:00

The difference between the rich and the poor is mostly between their ears. That's correct you heard me right, between their ears. The rich are generally not smarter, they don't have more hours available each day, they are not stronger, or luckier than the poor. The difference is the way the rich think opposed to the way the poor think about money.

Credit Secrets

2007-12-22T20:28:00.000-08:00

So the battle continues. Not many individuals have the opportunity to observe first hand the tremendous disparity in credit profiles based race. I'm one who during the hayday of shakey mortgage originations simply kept my mouth shut and took a don't ask, don't tell position. Who really cared? The money was always green. Find Out More...Click Here!

Now with the change in economic climate, I say scream this injustice from the housetop!
Case in point; client "A" has no charge-offs, no lates in the last 2 years, 4 open trades in good standing and low remaining balances with a credit score of 540 mid score. Client "B" has recent lates and a bankruptcy discharged within the seasoning time frame. Client "B's" mid score is 608. Client "A", as you can guess is Afro-American and Client "B" is White. This same scenario is repeated constantly in the mortgage industry. Those of you with spotless credit shouldn't even consider reading this article. You haven't a clue what I'm referring to.

No one in the industry is willing to touch this topic with a ten foot pole, yet anyone who has originated mortgages for any length of time knows that this is a standard for the industry. Now with the sub-prime meltdown, I have seen a increase in the divide between the two profiles. This has become an economic disadvantage and will continue to be so unless appropriately addressed. That's my two cents!

REAL ESTATE SECURITY

2007-12-19T12:11:00.000-08:00

Here's an article that I wrote several years ago. Since it's getting so much exposure all over the net, I decided to include it in my Real Estate Blog for those that have not seen it. Hope you enjoy the short story!

This event actually took place while I was holding an Open House at the house shown in this picture. Certainly looks like a safe enough home.

It only goes to show one thing. One can never be too overly concerned about security.

So how are you to make money in the real estate industry when you can't trust your potential buyer? Here's a few helpful hint's intended to protect your most valuable asset. YOU!

I was holding an open house on one of my rental properties when someone off the street came to the door and asked to view the property. I said, "Sure come on in." I quickly discovered this individual was one french fry short of a full happy meal. He said, as he walked in, "I'm your neighbor from down the street." I thought to myself, harmless enough. He then continued......"I just wanted to see what you were selling your house for." "By the way, do you like guns?" I thought to myself, strange question. I replied, "sure, I shoot expert on a police target?" He stated, "do you want to see one?" I said, "sure, do you have one on you?" He replied, "Yea, check this out!", then pulled a relvolver out of his jacket pocket.

I said, "WoW!, Cool!, let me hold it and check it out while you look at the house." He gave me the gun and I let him look at the house..........(true story)I tell this story to emphasis the importance of security in the real estate industry.

This story could have had a much worst ending. Here's a few helpful tips to insure that your hot new prospect doesn't become a future suspect.

1. Make sure you pre-qualify any prospect before you start working with them. I'ts important to have a working relationship with a mortgage professional that can give you on the spot responses in reference to credit, work history, rental/mortgage history on a client prior to showing properties.

2. If client is referred and no pre-qualification is warranted or available, get copies of driver's licenses and make sure someone in your office knows your schedule and estimated time of completion before showing any properties.

3. When showing property, Stay Alert! Look for anything out of the ordinary in the neighborhood and in the home. It's never a bad thing to be too cautious. Always be aware of your surroundings.

4. Try to work open houses in couples during the daylight hours. There's many new lenders and/or loan officers that would jump at the opportunity to sit in an open house and help pre-qualify buyers with you.

HOUSTON AIRLINES

2007-12-17T20:49:00.000-08:00

Houston began it’s upward ascent towards the energy capital of the world in 1937 when it acquired the site of it’s first major airport, William P. Hobby Airport. As the city grew, so did it’s airport system. George Bush Intercontinental Airport was added in 1969 and Ellington Field was added in 1984. As the city continues to grow the airport systems are still growing as well.

My wife and I attended a subdivision meeting in the summer of 2005 with airport officials expressing possible expansion plans for more runways and facilities. Expansions that would affect as many as five different communities, bringing the issue of imminent domain into play for numerous Houston community residents.

The Aviator himself, Mr. Howard Hughes was originally from the Houston area. He was attending Rice University at the age of eighteen when his father passed away leaving him as heir to a tidy fortune. Like many individuals at that age would do, he dropped out of school shortly there after. There’s a historic mention of the City of Houston attempting to name the Municipal Airport after him until they found out that they, (the city), would lose out on some federal funding if they decided to name it after a living individual.

REAL ESTATE APPRECIATION

2007-12-14T12:45:00.000-08:00

As many of you know, I spend hours upon hours online and on MLS comparing price variances and market changes. One of the interesting changes that I'm starting to see on the MLS is that perspective Buyers are busting out of transactions well within the traditional, 10 day option period. If I were to assume the reason for this trend, I would say that it's apprehension about current market stability. Buyers are aprehensive about proceeding with the entire homebuying process and are canceling well within the option period. Why does this type of data seem unusual to me? Well it may mean that qualified buyers are pulling the plug rather than closing. While online searching thru the MLS, the normal trend for transactions that bust out are 20 to 30 days or more. These are usually transactions where buyers are unable to qualify for desirable mortgage products.

With the current Sub-prime melt-down, one would tend to believe that prospective buyers would be holding properties under contract for longer periods of time while shopping for acceptable financing. This does not seem to be the case as available inventory in the Houston area continues to be on the rise.

I was fortunate enough to view the Houston Real Estate market in the mid 1980's and would encourage anyone thinking of buying in Houston to rest assured that they are investing one of the nation's strongest markets. Both Fortune Magazine and an article in Business 2.0, predict that Houston's market will appreciate in the future and that now is the time to act.

What is Real Estate Appreciation?

Case in point: I sold a home in the Oakforest area 2 years ago for $164,000. The same client asked me for Comps. Even with the all the market turmoil the house's current market value is approximately $198,000 after only 2 years. Sales in the area are strong and properties are staying on the market for short periods of time. My recommendation to homebuyers wanting to purchase in the Houston area is simple. Focus on traditional strong areas such as, Rice Military, Memorial, West University, Oak Forest, Woodlands, River Oaks, Meyerland, Bellaire, Sherwood Forest, Tanglewood, and many more.

Ship Channel

2007-12-14T10:42:00.000-08:00

A friend once told me that I actually need to go hang out at the Port of Houston for a day. She stated that only until I watched the traffic and the activity at the port for a day or so, would I begin to understand the enormous opportunities available in the import/export industry. I'm committed to take her up on her offer one day.

But as for now I'm busy with this project....Click Here!

The main reason for Houston’s tremendous growth is The Port of Houston. The Port was a 50-mile venture of digging the port’s channel from Buffalo Bayou to the Gulf of Mexico. No other city in America can boast of such a feat. The Port of Houston processes the largest tonnage shipping of any American port. The ship channel officially opened November 10th 1914. Thousands attended the ceremony. It was marked by a 21 gun salute. In Washington, D.C. President Woodrow Wilson fired a cannon via remote control to officially mark the channel open for operations.

BAYOU CITY

2007-12-14T10:35:00.000-08:00

Houston is nicknamed, "The Bayou City", because Buffalo Bayou is the main waterway flowing thru the city. It starts on the west side of the city and flows east to the Houston Ship Channel.
Houston was founded in 1836 by Augustus and John Allen. What began as 6,642 acres of land on the banks of Buffalo Bayou has grown to become the fourth largest U.S. city comprised of 581 square miles with more than 1.6 million people.It’s the 4th most populated city in the U.S.
Houston’s after tax living cost makes it one of the best places in the U.S. to live at approximately 12% below the national average. This is largely due to the fact that Houston’s housing cost is 26% below the national average.
