Economic Recovery is in Sight

By Wade Henderson

There is little surprise that the public in general is getting more optimistic about the economy.

According to the NY Times: Americans have grown more optimistic about the economy and the direction of the country in the 11 weeks since President Obama was inaugurated, suggesting that he is enjoying some success in his critical task of rebuilding the nations confidence, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Most of the political parties are now coming in line with the idea that we are on our way to a recovery. This in of itself will help to stimulate the economy. Public perspective is more important that the measures taken by President Obama in reality. And his actions impact the point-of-view the public has. The better we all think things are, the better they will be. It is a true self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Business Financial Lending has been picking up over the last 11 weeks in general. Even before the stimulus packages were rolled out, the general hope that people have for the economy was creating more business but it is far from enough.

More and more businesses need to take action and start buying so that others will start selling and then your company in turn will start selling more.

There are many companies that have put their purchases on hold and that is what helps to stall the economy. The public and businesses need to start buying so they can start selling.

While President Obama is doing an amazing job of damage control in the economy, he can not just fix it. No matter how magical he may seem, we all need one another to get ourselves out of this mess.

You can be sure that once everyone does start buying and selling again, there will be a long term effect on how we spend and buy and hopefully we will learn from our mistakes and not be so short sighted. We all need to contribute. Not talking about digging a financial hole for yourself, but do what you can. It will hurt a bit, but it will hurt a lot more if we do not.

Those companies that have been patching that machine up for the 15th time or cut back on the workforce because there is no more room in the building need to do what is best for their business and get these things taken care of properly. Replace that machine, do that addition or buy that other building. Prices for these things has fallen drastically from only a year or two ago. This is your opportunity to make a good business decision so make it count!

How to Get an Impressive Online Presence and a Sideline Business to Boot.

By Owen Jones

Have you already got a business? A conventional, bricks-and-mortar business, I mean. Or are you trying to make some money advertising generic sites with only an affiliate link? Both of these types of business usually have something in common: that is that their online presence is disappointing.

Many business owners and affiliate site promoters do not understand that a poor website does more harm than good. A business owner who has created a website on Geofreebies or one of the other free webspace providers is essentially doing the same as someone who only promotes an affiliate link on an automatically generated replicated affiliate webpage.

The problem is that it is obvious what those websites are: cheap and nasty and unfortunately, that reflects on the business and the business owner both. The same goes for email addresses. Just consider, what looks better to you:

http://www.geofreebies.com/memnbersites/Amiable-Dragon.html

amiable-dragon123456@yahoo.com or

http://amiabledragon.com

owen@amiabledragon.com

It is all too obvious which looks more professional; which gives more confidence and which would bring in more customers and so more sales and Im sure that there is no one in the world who would disagree with that.

The next thing to think about is the extension " ie the letters after the . or the @. .com probably surely still carries the most prestige, but it no longer has the lead it used to have. .tv, .biz, .info have their places, I'm suppose, but they do not really have the same cachet as 'dot com'. However, there is another problem with .com and that is that it has been around since the dawn of the Internet and very many of the name combinations have already been taken up.

I reckon that .ws is a very viable way out of this problem. You might imagine it standing for web site, however it actually stands for Western Samoa! It is a relatively new suffix and many, many combinations of names are still available. I am sure you would still be able to get the address you want. Something else you may not realize is that when you buy your own domain name, you can create any email address out of it by putting anything you like instead of the http://www and replacing the DOT with an @ sign. Look at the address above again for a real example.

Then you have to find a host for your domain and administer the site and email addresses. The fees are usually paid annually in advance for the name and monthly for the hosting, both payments going to different companies quite often. However, there is now a very professional company on the market which is offering a website, with a name of your choice and ten variable email addresses and a free website design service and all you pay is only $10 a month to one firm for the lot. There is no contract and you can leave at any time or change the email or website addresses.

That is a very good deal for a business website (think of: sales@....; info@....), a family website (everyone can have their own email) or an affiliate website (using redirects). But that is not all there is to it! You can actively promote the host company or just put a referral link to it on your website and make cash, month after month in perpetuity from referrals for no extra work on your part! And if you use the link below, you will get a weeks free trial and three paying members in your downline, subject to a condition, or your first months $10 paid for by us.

That cant be bad can it? Five weeks free trial of your own domain, hosted on your own site, with 10 email address or a free week with three members paying you $3 a month to start your affiliate business off with a bang!

What Everyone Ought To Know When Starting A Photography Business

By Corey Smith

Are you searching for info on beginning a photo business? Remember, it is a ton more than just getting a camera and hanging up a sign that tells of your services. All beginning businesses have a lot of elements involved and the biggest priority would have to be money.

You will have to have the cash to purchase the supplies and equipment you would will use; and don't forget the set up of an office where you can hold appointments and house your customers. Finally, you have to look for ways on to promote your business to your potential customers.

Speaking of your intended market, this is the time and age where specialization plays a critical role to the success of any business venture. A photography business now can have several categories, and you need to choose one which you think will suit the type of social skills you have.

This may sound weird but your people skills can help entertain you as many customers that you would need to make your photography business successful. If you are great with children, you can set up a kid friendly photography studio. Setting up an animal studio is also a profitable business, but you need to be ready for all types of pets that may come to your business. Or if you are a another kind of photographer, you can take up commercial photography or portraiture or have people commission your service during a wedding or other events.

If you have chosen your specialization, the next step is to have a good look at possible competition. Naturally, setting up a new business next to an established studio may not serve your best interest at all. Also, you need to look at your competitors rates and services offered to see how you can attract your own set of patrons. Try going for quality instead of gimmick in this run.

You may be gaining some clients just by offering lower prices, but you will also be creating a financial burden if you don't charge enough. Offer competing prices with better quality services and you will see some good business arriving.

Aside from finding the right tools and equipment, you would also need to get way on how to advertise your business to your community. One inexpensive way of advertising is creating a site online to show your work.

This way, people know exactly what they will be getting when they patronize your business. You can also give out flyers containing your website address and your studios street address to people within your business general vicinity.
