The Art of E-marketing Equates Charity

NT — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 23:29:35 +0000

Sponsoring a child to school is quite a stocky responsibility, but sponsoring some 200 children for world vision is another story. This is the new philanthropic endeavour of the young and successful internet tycoon, Jesse Willms.

As a backgrounder, Jesse Willms is a native from Alberta, Canada who first found the realization of his success at the basement of his own home in between school breaks during his high school days. Back then he found out that the prices at Amazon and other auction websites (i.e. eBay) varies greatly. He usually buys these things and re-sell them at a higher price on other top rank marketing place. This is where he started his humble beginnings. He then established the norms and guidelines of e-marketing, an integral part of his business. This set all the guidelines for meaningful and just use of the World Wide Web in advertising.

Like any other triumphant individual in his own field, he never goes out without spreading his fortune and providence through charity works. Choosing the seamless charitable institution is never an easy task but two of luckiest foundations to receive support from Jesse Wills are YESS foundation and the Big Brother/Big Sister of Canada. The young entrepreneur said “What these organizations have in common is that they have a strong track record of being successful and making a real difference, I’m proud to donate money to them and encourage other people to do the same.”

The latest addition to Willm’s world of charity is the KIVA foundation and World vision. KIVA is dedicated to micro-lending to individuals with potentials. While World vision is committed to sending children to school by providing them food, shelter and clothing.

Finding the Best Broadband Deals on the Internet

NT — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:17:26 +0000

The world of broadband internet is an expansive market, full of different connections, deals, and broadband types. Finding the right type of broadband internet is almost necessary in today’s technological society, where connectivity provides you access to the world, current events, and a continually developing business network. Of course, knowing what type of connection you need is only part of the process. The other part — and the most important for you as a consumer — is knowing where to look and when to buy to get the best broadband deals on the market.

If you already have an internet connection but are looking for an upgrade, the best place to find broadband deals is, strangely enough, on the internet itself. Without broadband, the search may be a bit slow, but it will still pay off in the end. So when you’re shopping for deals, the first thing you need to know is how you will be using your internet, as there are different levels of broadband connectivity which offer varied levels of connection speeds (otherwise known as Megabits per-second, or Mbps), download limits (some as little as 2GB, some unlimited), and set-up/installation fees. There is no ‘best broadband’ network — there is only the network that is right for you.

If you’re going to be using your internet mainly for browsing and viewing the occasional video, you don’t need the fastest or most expensive broadband deal on the market. If you do a lot of internet work with an FTP or bittorrent client, you’ll need a fast and stable connection with unlimited downloads. There are dozens of options for business broadband networks, gaming broadband connections, and even mobile broadband choices. There may even be coupons or discounts available to some shoppers, so you can get connected sooner, faster, and cheaper.

Rent Books Online

NT — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 16:52:41 +0000

Rent a car, rent a house, rent an office equipment – there are so many things that are being leased now. Renting has been one of the most effective ways of enjoying a certain commodity without so-called breaking the bank and having to worry about permanent possession of a certain thing. Even the less significant whatnots like movies and formal apparels can be rented for a reasonable fee nowadays.

I was actually looking for a particular title of my favorite author, Nicholas Sparks, when I stumbled upon Booksfree.com a while ago. It’s only now that I learned that we can also Rent books online like paperbacks, children’s books and even Audio books on cd. For just a low monthly fee, members of these Book rental sites can enjoy a library style program on the web which allows one to rent as many books as he can read. Handling and shipping charges are usually free. Unlike in libraries, these rental sites do not impose due dates or late return fees thus, a member can read as fast or as slow as he wants to. This type of service is perfect for those who enjoys reading books but abhors spending much and ending up not enjoying the book. To know more about how this type of service works, I suggest you take a look at Booksfree.com and browse their endless online catalogs of books.

Curtail Inefficiency in the Workplace.

NT — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 03:31:08 +0000

I’m not really well versed with the much complex areas of information technology but I think a keylogger, is what companies should implore to monitor their employees’ actions while at work. With all the vast resources and distractions found on the internet nowadays where everyone are lured to get busy with like Facebook, Instant Messengers and other social networking sites, employees can easily access the web and do unnecessary and non-work related surfing during office core hours. This affects their productivity and consequently the company’s profits since they’re inefficiency is paid.

I just came across a site that explains how a 4MB internal memory keylogger, as small as it is, magically works. It’s just a small USB device that monitors all PC keyboard activities. This includes typing actions or keystrokes into the keyboard and captures everything including chat activities, email and instant messaging. Further, it records all websites visited and takes a screenshot of them even. With such devices, the inefficient employees will get caught and this will translate to a better productivity. I think there’s also a similar device called cell phone spy meant to read deleted text messages. This, on the other hand, is designed to curtail infidelity.

Stake Your Claim on Internet Income

NT — Thu, 20 May 2010 02:30:04 +0000

If your company isn’t utilizing the Web, you’re missing out on huge potential revenue. If you are thinking about starting a business and the old construct of a bricks and mortar facility are not an immediate necessity, consider starting your company online. Even if you don’t own a business, you can still make money on the Internet, whether you find a model that works for you on eBay, start a revenue earning blog, or invent a totally new idea that propels the industry to new places.

If you are using the Internet for marketing purposes only, make sure you have an appealing, easy to navigate website. Many people will research different businesses from their home or work computers and if you don’t have a site, you will likely be discounted from them immediately. Also consider using an SEO company to make your site visible and bring in revenue rich traffic.

If you have a website that is very sloppy and difficult to navigate, it reflects badly on your business just as a sloppy or dirty store front would to a person entering your place of business. Even if your site is crisp and sharp, you need to be thoughtful about the information you choose to have on your site. If writing and web design isn’t your strong suit, get clear about what you want, find a few examples that demonstrate specific features you like, and then hire professionals. Having clarity about your vision will save money and frustration when dealing with your hired professionals and minimize your need for them. If you write your own content and it’s sloppy, people will be instantly turned off and you will lose valuable business. On the other hand, after those ducks are in a row, you will be one of the few businesses that can claim a great website, which will greatly increase your chances at higher profits!

Online “Toys” For the Boys.

NT — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 02:54:53 +0000

There was a time when the husband was so engrossed in playing with online multiplayer and RPG games. It actually started when he was in College and it was the time when such online games were introduced and became an instant hit to the small and big boys alike. I remember that they would proceed to the nearby computer rental shops within the university belt after classes and they’d play for hours. A portion of their allowances were allotted to buy prepaid credit online for these games.

These fascination continued and in fact, heightened when my in laws put up a computer gaming and printing shop. The computers were always updated with the latest MMORPG games and as they have a world of warcraft cd key, WOW games such as DOTA patches were always updated. This interest stopped gradually then totally halted when my in laws closed the business for good a few years ago.

But now that we have a son who, for sure, will also get hooked into such games say in five years time, I bet the husband’s fascination will be resurrected as he will scour for the latest consoles, games or perhaps 12 month xbox live cards. With online gaming retailer like PCGameSupply.com, finding and buying gaming cards shouldn’t be so difficult as they have a complete array of codes and product keys for online multiplayer games like World of Warcraft, Aion, Startrek Online. They also have iTunes gift cards should you need to purchase and download paid songs in iTunes.

I’ve got no objection to this interest as long as it will be done in moderation.

The Best Things in Life are Free.

NT — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 06:15:16 +0000

Indeed.

I’m such an online contest and freebie freak and I bet most of you are the same. I mean who doesn’t want to score free stuff online? I have won several online prizes in the past and I’m really hooked on scouring for more. But I like it more when I stumble upon sites that give away free stuff at random.

In the course of my hunt for freebies, I chanced upon this one of a kind site that gives away stuff differently. Listia.com is basically an auction site but absolutely with no money or fees involve. This site is for those who want to dispose their unused items and for those who are freebie freaks like me. So how this site functions? You can enlist your unused stuffs for auction and readers will bid for them using their earned credits. Credits are earned every time you enlist items for auction and refer friends. So to earn more credits, you have to enlist more items for auction and the cycle just goes on. The site is designed like Ebay so it’s a sort of bidding for an item only there’s no money involved. This is available worldwide but of course, there are usually restrictions and limitations as far as shipping and pick up arrangements are concerned. 100 free credits is earned instantly upon signing up and listing your first auction item.

For example, this Graco carseat is up for bidding for just 50 credits. So any beginner or first time user is eligible to bid for this one.

So should you want to dispose items and get freebies in return, Listia.com is the site to get hooked with.
