Winter is a hard season for most drivers... and rental cars aren't an exception

It's that time of year again when the white stuff falls from the sky and does not immediately melt. For those who live in the cities, this is the signal of additional troubles. Although you have always been able to drive in snow and on ice, the majority of other road users act like learner drivers when freezing temperatures set in, skating around the white tops like their vehicles are on a permanent collision course with you or the nearest solid object. Naturally, you do all the maintenance things you are supposed to do and give yourself the best chance of staying out of trouble. But you just wish it was all over. But for a small percentage of the population, this is a signal for the start of excitement and celebration. These are the folk who head off for the nearest ski slopes whenever the nearest resorts start confirming enough snow of the right type.

It's at this point we have to draw a line in the snow. On one side, we have all the people who have to go out in the snow to drive to work or as work. For all these people, winter driving is just one of the things you have to get through. As a matter of routine, the anti-freeze liquid to keep the windshield free of ice is topped up, the tires are checked regularly, there are emergency supplies in the trunk, and so on. More importantly, everyone has thought carefully about their auto insurance. When the risks of a collision or damage from more extreme weather are at their highest, you think about adding a margin of safety on to your liability cover and check the values on the collision and comprehensive policies. But on the other side of the line are the drivers who can only think of getting to the slopes to begin skiing or boarding or sledding or whatever they propose doing. If their vehicles are already in prime condition, it's just more of the same and the journeys will be as safe as around town. But if you are coming from an area where there's no snow on the ground or you are proposing to rent when you fly into the area, what precautions did you take?

Let's say you are going to rent, what did you tell the car rental companies you asked for quotes? Did you tell them you are proposing to drive into areas where there's heavy snow? At the very least, this should prompt a very serious examination of your insurance situation. If you slide off the road and hit a tree, or your carefully parked car is swept away in an avalanche, will your existing auto insurance cover pay out on all the claims you will face for loss of the rental vehicle (including claims for loss of use and last profit)? If not, you will need to pay for additional cover from the car rental companies you decide to use.

How can you save money on road trips when gas prices skyrocket?

The price of gas seemed to be going to achieve escape velocity and go into orbit recently... For those of you not into NASA jargon, that's gas at more than $5 a gallon. Even now, when the upward pressure seems to have eased, it can still be a shock to the credit card every time you fill up the tank. Which does force us to wonder whether we should abandon the idea of a driving vacation. Just think back to the time when we were young, we could jump in the car and drive off on a whim. It only cost a few dollars to drive several thousand miles. Now it can cost one-hundred dollars to fill up one tank. That's a big change but one we have to keep in perspective. In the 1990s, a gallon of regular gas would cost you $1.36. Today you would expect to pay about $4.30. In 1990, the average worker earned about $20,000. In 2012, the same worker would be earning about $40,000. So although gas price has gone up three-fold, average incomes have doubled. It's still more expensive to put gas in your tank, but not quite as bad, particularly when you consider modern vehicles are far more fuel efficient than they were twenty years ago. So where does this get us?

If you are going on a road trip, you should look carefully at the make and model of the vehicle you propose to rent. Ask for vehicles with good storage space for all the additional "stuff" you need to carry, but with the best mileage you can find. Instead of renting an SUV that goes through a tank of gas like it's not having to pay the bills, you could take less "stuff" and rent a hybrid. For those of you who have never driven a hybrid, this can be an educational introduction. Within minutes you learn how difficult it is not to watch the real-time mileage reports. That really encourages the driver to learn how to make driving the most economical activity in the world. Then there's how you buy the gas. Look around the credit card offers for the best cash-back for fuel. In this, be alert. Some only show the headline percentage in big print but double the reward for use in buying gas and groceries. If you shop wisely, you can usually find cash-back offers of 5% so, if you were looking at gas prices of about $4.30 per gallon, the actual cost comes down to $4.03.

Talk to a number of car rental companies to find the most fuel-efficient vehicles available. Plus, while looking around for the best cash-back offers, also look for credit card providers offering the best insurance deals on rental vehicles. Beacuse the car rental companies are usually trying to sell you their own insurance... So pay by the credit card you've picked and refuse their insurance offers.

Herpes zoster (shingles) and Treatment by Prednisone

Most kids get chickenpox at an early age. This is usually short-lived and produces some vivid markings of the skin with those itchy pockmarks - although tempting to scratch, it is important to resist in order to prevent long term scarring. After a few days, the worst of the symptoms pass. Assuming you have resisted the temptation to scratch, the skin should heal leaving no obvious marks. It is easy to believe that all your troubles are over except the virus is not necessarily done with you. Around half of all adults experience a new range of symptoms arising from the same exact virus but later in life. This confirms a simple truth. This virus is almost impossible to kill and, no matter what you do, it can come back, sometimes years later. This time, the virus breaks out in the nerve endings and produce a rash along the line of the nerves affected. The rash may start off as a harmless itch, but it usually devolves into a sharp pain. With luck, the rash usually heals within one month, but there can be longer term pain in the affected nerves. If you are lucky, this pain will only last for a few months, but some people find the pain continues for more than a year. It is relatively rare for the skin rash to appear more than once.

If you start taking one of the specific antivirals within three days of the rash first appearing, there's a good chance the herpes will not develop into the most painful form. If you decide not to get treatment, the rash is much slower to clear and the pain is more likely to last more than a year. Those who are over fifty absolutely must seek treatment if they are to avoid pain. The moral of this is for you always to seek an antiviral as soon as a rash appears. To this prescription is added painkillers and corticosteroids. As to the pain, most people find the drugs available over the counter are sufficient to maintain quality of life. One of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs will be best. As the spots begin to heal, one of the painkilling topical creams can be applied.

We now come to the question of the corticosteroids. Although the evidence pointing to positive results in younger people is discouraging, it seems that Prednisone can have great benefits for the older generation of 50+ year olds. The research suggests the spots heal more quickly and there is less pain without having to rely on painkillers. With prompt treatment, there seems to be less chance of longer term pain from damaged nerves, but there is no clear evidence. The best approach therefore seems to be that you should take Prednisone if you are over 50, the rash covers a significant area and is more painful than you expect. This is a precautionary approach relying on the fact that a short burst of the drug is unlikely to harm you and will ideally speed along the cure and recovery process.

Clear Skin Can Be a Reality by Getting Prescribed to Accutane

It is truly strange the way many people treat their health in modern society. For example, often times people will wait until the last minute to go to the hospital or seek treatment. As long as the affliction is a hidden one, without a visual component, many people resist any sort of treatment until they are literally in the hospital in critical condition. People don't wait with exterior altering conditions - they seek treatment aggressively the moment the first symptoms manifest, and pursue additional treatments with serious energy.

One might think that this can be attributed to people being too wrapped up in external appearances; however, it is important to note that acne can have serious psychological side effects on the bearer. Afflictions without a physical manifestation, or with a physical effect that cannot be easily hidden, serve as both intense reminders that something is very wrong and as humiliating public signs. Nobody likes the whole world to know their personal secrets - we all defend our privacy ferociously. Ironically this means we often treat harmless afflictions - like acne - with more energy and attention than more serious problems. Acne isn't deadly, or even harm you seriously in any way, as a rule, yet people are always willing to spend money, time, and energy pursuing spotless skin.

Of course, another aspect of this phenomenon is the fact that with acne, unlike a lot of other afflictions, you can, in fact, achieve your goal. Almost anyone suffering from acne can actually treat it using Accutane.

Accutane is an extremely effective treatment for acne of any degree. It is usually reserved for the most difficult cases that have proven impossible to resolve with any other treatments or simple lifestyle adjustments. This is due to the side effects that users of Accutane will experience. These are rare and can usually be resolved easily enough, but they must be considered soberly by anyone who seeks spotless skin by using this medication.

'Spotless' is, of course, a variable term. Most people never have literally spotless skin. We all bear imperfections, whether they are birthmarks or scars, or the occasional patch of dry skin or shine. Nobody is ever truly spotless and yet it remains a real goal for people. When someone with acne says they are striving for spotless skin they typically don't mean it in an unrealistic way, but simply that they want to see improvement. Any significant reduction in the amount or intensity of acne on their faces and bodies would be a blessing for them.

Achieving this with Accutane is possible, but people suffering from acne must be ready to follow the very strict guidelines they will be given when they begin a regimen of the medication. These instructions will be very specific and must be adhered to perfectly. Those who are tempted to increase dosage or rate of consumption in order to speed things along should be aware that it can be very dangerous to do so - and, most importantly, can compromise the medication's effectiveness. Always follow a doctor's instructions when treating acne - and spotless skin can be a reality for you as well.

Why Should You Go With Levitra for ED?

Viagra has been on the market since 1998, and has since become a very popular drug that most people - regardless of direct experience - have heard of. That being said, men with ED should still be aware that there are alternative medications available to them on the market today. Cialis and Levitra are two newer drugs that have had similar success. All three drugs are effective, but each has different characteristics that you should consider.

All three of these medications fall under the class of PDE-5 inhibitors. They all have similar effectiveness rates as well - as high as 70% of men are successfully treated, this even includes every different kind of erectile dysfunction. Each of these drugs also requires sexual stimulation in order to work - you will not get an automatic erection.

Viagra is the oldest of the drugs and claims to be the fastest to work. On average, it only takes 14 minutes from the time you take the pill for Viagra to be absorbed into the body, assuming you took it on an empty stomach. The downside of the pill is that the time it takes to kick in can vary widely based on how much food you have in your stomach. It takes about 30 minutes for you to feel the drugs full effects, but it loses half of this effect after about 4 hours. Side effects include things such as upset stomach, mild headaches, mild headaches, facial flushing, and unusually bright vision.

Levitra was the second drug to come onto the market. It is chemically composed differently than the other ones and is actually more powerful for the worst cases of ED. It takes about 45 minutes to take full effect, but it is not affected by stomach contents, unless they are highly fatty. Levitra has more efficacy, potency, and a longer duration than Viagra. Side effects you should be aware of can include flushing, headache, and runny or stuffy nose.

Finally, there is Cialis. This drug was the last to come onto the market, and has been approved to work for up to 36 hours, with some studies showing an effectiveness up to 100 hours. Cialis, unlike the others, will not be effected by your stomach contents and will kick in the hardest after 2 hours of absorption time. Cialis's half-life is between sixteen and twenty-two hours depending on the individual. The most common side effects include back and muscle aches, headaches, and upset stomach.

As you can see, these three drugs are very similar. The one you choose depends on your individual lifestyle and medical history. Keep in mind that you must speak to a doctor regarding these medications as they are all three prescription drugs. When you speak with your doctor, be sure to mention any medical conditions or drugs you may be taking. Some drugs interfere, so its important that your doctor is aware of them.

Erectile dysfunction can seriously affect your quality of life if you do not get treatment. Speak with your doctor today and get your life, relationship, and sex drive back on track!

Crohn's Disease treatment and Prednisone integration

This is one of the autoimmune disorders. Also known as inflammatory bowel disease, it inflames and damages the inner lining of the gastrointestinal tract producing ulcers and bleeding. The inflammation and ulceration causes the intestinal walls to thicken. In that state, the lining loses its ability to absorb water from the waste that passes through to the colon. As a result, the stool becomes watery and you suffer diarrhea. If you neglect yourself, the lining goes on to produce excess mucus and may bleed. Over time the blood loss can lead to anemia and fatigue producing the classic symptoms of chronic Crohn's disease. However, this disease is not necessarily limited to the intestines leading down to the rectum. It can affect can affect the "top half" of the feeding system from the mouth down through the stomach. Put another way, if your immune system turns against the body, it can attack the healthy tissue in all the connected areas.

There are a number of symptoms that can show up, including loss of appetite, consequent weight loss, abdominal pain, diarrhea, pain while passing stool, rectal bleeding, joint pain, mouth ulcers and swollen gums. These symptoms can flare up, disappear and reemerge in a cycle over the years. Despite the investment of significant research effort, the exact cause of the disease remains a mystery. It therefore follows there is no cure for this disease. The best that can be done is to manage the symptoms of the illness and maintain the best possible quality of life. A range of drugs is prescribed to suppress the immune system (which reduces the inflammation), to ease the digestive process, and to relieve the pain. Prednisone is synthetic corticosteroids used to suppress the operation of the immune system and for the anti-inflammatory effect. As one of the corticosteroids, there are potentially quite severe side effects if it is prescribed over any significant period of time. The usual treatment strategy is therefore to restrict its use to treating moderate to severe stages of the disease. Because the anti-inflammatory effect effect comes quickly, it is suitable for resolving the flare-ups. It should not be used over the longer term because the adrenal glands will stop working and leave you dependent on the drug. It takes time and patience to wean you off the drug and encourage your adrenal glands to start working naturally.

In consultation with your regular doctor, you should discuss when Prednisone can be used, at what dosage, and for how long. To make life slightly easier at home, the drug can be taken orally or by inserting it directly into the rectum. Once the flare-up subsides, you should stop as quickly as possible. Without this stop-start approach, there may be some thinning of your bones, impotence or menstrual irregularities. Finally, Crohn's Disease patients should eat a high-fibre balanced diet of protein and other nutrients to help the digestive process.

Four Sure Steps to Success in Home Business

The global economic meltdown is, no doubt, the cankerworm that eats so much into the social fabrics of the world’s entire populace to an extent that not only a typical grassroots people but also those in the upper echelon of the society also find making ends meet a big task. This is because no matter how hard people cut their coat according to their cloth the normal residual income is always far from being adequate to meet both the family and social responsibilities.

Since the ubiquitous financial hardship is not the exclusive preserve of anyone, retired people particularly from the normal employment in need of additional income to pay their bills find succor in home business. In some cases as well, many stay-at-home moms are in the rat race since they just have to support their husbands in shoring the domestic expenses.

Many people are just tired of 30 days make a pay check syndrome that has little or no effect on their social well-being particularly those who normally go a borrowing from friends and relatives for a living until the next pay day and once the inevitable debt is grudgingly and willy-nilly paid to the impatient creditors virtually little or nothing is left from their meager income to take care of their family and personal responsibilities.


While it is true that nothing good comes easy whichever way one may look at it, certain good steps ought to be taken by whoever is desirous to make a foray into home business whatever may be the previous or present areas of economic endeavor. Here, however, are four sure steps to success in home business.
Regular working hours

The need to set aside some regular hours of work cannot be overemphasized and if it is eight or ten hours every day you can set aside to work on your business, stick strictly to that time. If you are to work from nine o’clock in the morning and close at 6 pm in the evening just let it be so always.
Avoid distractions

Right from the onset of your home business, you just must avoid distractions like a plague otherwise your efforts, no matter how good they may be, will lead you nowhere. You should minimize to the barest minimum the attention and interference of your spouse, children and relatives in your business activities and once they identify you with those hours, they are bound to let you have your way.
Procrastination

Since procrastination is the thief of time, extra care must be taken to avoid it at all cost, this means actions are to be taken immediately issues instead of postponing them no matter how trivial they may be.

Immediate profit syndrome.
Once you settle down to your home business, you should not expect profit immediately; see your efforts as a baby that must be nurtured from infancy to adulthood. Just ensure that you put all that is in you as efforts into it say for the first two to three years that should be regarded as the gestation period.

How To Run A Successful Business Enterprise

What is the best way to run a successful business enterprise was the issue the engaged the thoughts of a 50 year old friend of mine having been in paid employment for quite a long time and can scarcely make both ends meet financially and socially no matter how hard he tried. It was not his original intention to leave the job to which he has put in several years of unbroken service but had to be laid off with several hundreds of others because of the seemingly irreversible downturn of the current global economic impasse which paralyzed the business of his employers.

It is really quite a pity that the man did not have a solid business plan, all he did after collecting his entitlement from his employers was to start a television viewing center because of his strong passion for football and his belief that the venture will rake him adequate financial means that will enable him pay his house rent, medical, children’s school fees and other social responsibility bills. Apparently this friend did not put into consideration the major factors that would have made that business successful.

After sometime and having spent the few thousand dollars into that business, he realized that the business was not making any headway since there was scarcely quite very few people that patronized him contrary to his previous thought and within a few months the business collapsed like a pack of cards while the friend had to return to point zero while the entire investment went with the winds.


Just like any human endeavor, running a successful business enterprise is subject to a set of rules and principles without which success will be nothing but a mirage. There are thousands of businesses out there that have suffered abject failure just because the entrepreneurs are not mindful of certain rules and regulations that are the body and soul of success whatever the niche may be. In order not to run into debts as our plan less friend, experts are of the view that some cogent principles must be followed among which are financial discipline, re-investment of profit and total commitment to one’s goals and aspiration in the effort.

The first thing one must do before embarking on any business venture is to save adequate money as much as possible otherwise borrowing money from friends, banks and other financial institutions can be an ill-wind that will not blow one any good in the long run. This is more apparent because a business, just like any other human efforts, takes time to grow and the lenders might not be patient enough to recover their loans no matter their nature of kindness to the upcoming entrepreneur.

It is always good to start a business on a shoe-string by thinking small and not acquiring a high flyer apartment when you know that a small space will do for now while hiring of employees might be delayed until there is an assurance that the business will yield enough profit to take care good care of them otherwise the tendency to lose their loyalty is not farfetched. One of the best ways for running a small business is to set solid goals since they are quite crucial to entrepreneurial development and ensure that these goals are strictly followed.

Business Education is the Key to Success in the Online Marketing Business

When it comes to the world of wealth and business, knowing exactly what to do and when to do it separates the winners from the losers.

What makes you think the online marketing business is any different?

While it is most certainly true that some people without a formal education can make money online - running up to the thousands of dollars a month - they still got everything they know from somewhere; from someone. Nobody is born knowing absolutely everything about online businesses, and chances are you yourself are looking to make money online with minimal knowledge on how to do so.

If you're up for the challenge to create a home business based on strong Internet sales, then you'd definitely want a business education to help you:

Know the basics of business
Business is a harsh and cruel environment, where only the strongest and most cunning of individuals can prosper for long. This is especially true for the Internet, which is basically one huge ocean of competitors all jostling for a niche to make some money from. You'll need to know the basics of business before you even think of establishing one, much less in a highly-competitive location like the Internet.


Know the ins and outs of the Internet
Trying to make money online shares similarity with its more traditional counterparts, but there are legal, logistical and technical challenges that differentiates one from the other. Knowing what's what with online businesses will go a long way to building a thriving and prosperous endeavor.

Know where to market your products
The internet is a huge place, with millions upon millions of users accessing it every single day. It is so very for a startup business to be lost in this ocean of websites, which is why it is essential for you to know where to go and find people that will take interest in your online marketing business.

Know how to attract people
Just because you have set-up a website and know where to go does not guarantee success. You still need to attract people to your website and to actually keep them there long enough for them to actually take an interest in what you have to sell them. Getting the attention of the Internet browser and keeping it for at least 20 seconds is a much more difficult task than you'd think it to be.

Know how to turn 'eyeballs' into 'sales'
Now that you have people interested in what you have to sell, you then need to convince them to part with their money. The difference between raking in the cash and staring at an empty bank account lies in your ability to do this, especially if you are in a market saturated with about a thousand other people selling the exact same thing you are.

Starting a Successful Business Online - Building Your Business Education

Not too long ago one of my readers posted the following question on my support desk:

How do I get started in internet marketing?

It was unnecessary to post such a question. With over 1000 pages alone on my blog, and 100s of resources on my site, all he had to do was to decide what he needed to know and then read the resources available.

Getting your business education is similar. However, you can really cut your learning curve if you stick to what you know and build on it. This is an area where many newbies fail: they choose to venture into topics they know nothing about without bothering to learn anything new.

Your first step in building your business education so you succeed online is to determine what you already know. Then, ask yourself, how will this help you achieve what you want to achieve online?

Next, if there's something new you need to learn, like marketing, then choose three general books on the topic to get you started. Visit your local library to find books on marketing, especially internet marketing. Try to stick to titles that have been published in the last two years. This will help you start off with knowledge that is up to date, and you won't waste your time implementing techniques that don't work.


If you can't find any titles to help you, then visit free eBook directories and do a search. The most popular document directory on the internet is Scribd, and it contains millions of documents, including ebooks, and books on just about any topic you can imagine. You are sure to find something here that will help you learn what you want to learn.

Another place to visit is Amazon. Amazon offers millions of books and magazines on just about any topic you can imagine. This includes audio books if you prefer audio. You'll save a lot of money shopping here as many of the books are discounted, and you may even be able to buy used copies of the books you want, saving you even more money.

The point here is this: start by learning the basics. This is how general books on a topic will do that. Once you've read three general books, you'll have a good foundation on your topic. This will allow you to determine what you need to learn next in order to pursue a successful business.

How to Grow Investment Through Business Education

There is no gain saying the fact that so many people go into business with great intentions of just not getting their daily income but also becoming a wealthy tycoon by dint of their efforts but run to a dead end without knowing what further to do just within a short spate of time while a very tiny percentage of such persons makes a success out of that bid.

From all indications, many inevitable factors influence business failure according to the incontrovertible opinion of entrepreneurial gurus. One thing is to have the zeal or skill to move ahead in a particular business but another is how to acquire the knowledge to sustain it. For any reason whatsoever, it is quite necessary for both the experienced and those that are just coming in to be well informed of how to acquire the knowledge that will help them to overcome the inevitable challenges they will have to face on a day-to-day basis.

The fact always remains that a good business knowledge helps to foster economic growth and also nip the ubiquitous deaths of small scale businesses in the bud. Someone that is desirous of making a success in whatever area of business endeavor must combine entrepreneurial knowledge with vocational skill because of the kaleidoscopic tendency of today's technological age.

This is the main reason why the importance of seminars, trade fairs, exhibitions and business shows cannot be underrated and must be always seized by any budding entrepreneur whether the focus is on small, medium or large scale. Multifarious factors that inhibit business development in Nigeria today include: erratic power supply, multiple taxation, adequate financial means and infrastructural facilities and these are the areas the government has to face squarely and timely too for business to thrive for the socio-economic development of the country.

Boost Your Financial Freedom by Social Networking

It is quite normal that at the beginning of a New Year, majority of people all over the world make far reaching resolutions that will make them turn a new leaf not only in the next 365 days ahead but also for the rest of their sojourn in this side of the great divide. Some people, too, put their new ways of life for the months ahead in black and white as a guide in case they want to go out of order as the days emerge in order to ensure that they maintain a strict adherence to their conscientious intentions, while for others the resolutions are as good as the papers wrote them or their verbal pronouncements.

The major areas in which some people look forward to having a change of focus include human relationship, peaceful-coexistence, occupation, profession, behavioral influences, alcoholic consumption, abstinence from drugs, financial irresponsibility, closeness to spiritual matters, political alignment and participation, social patterns and many more areas of human endeavor.

It stands to reason that making plans for the new year is regarded by some people as taking the first step in the right direction for conscientiously correcting whatever mistakes (both deliberate and inadvertent) they must have severally committed during the out-going year taking into account the common saying that failure to plan is planning to fail woefully. The need, therefore, to plan big for the months ahead at the eclipse of the outgoing year in order to make a strong impact in the society cannot be overemphasized.


Since some people are naturally introversive, they always find it difficult to mix socially with those outside their immediate environments and all they need is to throw off the shackles of self-pity and recluse in order to harvest from the copious benefits of social networks. There are people, as well, who find it difficult to make friends easily because of poor or inferiority complex that have been their bane for so long and all they need is critical analysis of themselves and endeavor to break the intuitive iron complex in order to move ahead since it is not possible for one to be an island to oneself.

Building relationship, no doubt, is a priceless skill that can transform one to a great popularity and all one needs to do is to begin by helping people solve their common personal problems, respond to their yearnings and aspirations as well as making sure that they are trustworthy, surely they would be sought-after personalities all the time. Whichever way one looks at it, there is no way one can wholly succeed in any task without the support of others and that is the reason why social interaction in all areas of human endeavor is a matter of must in today’s world.

Whatever what one wants to achieve in life, connecting with people all the way is a high profit yielding venture, even if it is a matter of employment, large number of people have secured good jobs through the people they know and relate with either their pastors in the church, friends in the locality and even close or distant relatives. And if it is self-employment, it is the network of people that one relates with that can help one to stand on good footing through patronage after all, it is the little drops of water that make the mighty ocean.

How to get moderate cost life insurance

As it is now a generally accepted norm that life insurance is rather a rule than an exception for any right thinking person who would want peace and succor for his her dependents after he or she must have passed away to the other side of the great terrestrial divide, the engaging thought now is how is it possible for one to get the right, suitable policy at a moderate cost. After all, what is the purpose of one’s whole working life when the loved ones are victims of intolerable financial difficulties and nothing to show for it. The way out, therefore, is saving for the rainy day and here comes the issue of moderate cost life insurance.

The rainy day, according to the terms of this piece is when one’s limbs and veins will be at the lowest ebb of physical ability and performance thereby falling on one’s accumulation of financial resources during one’s whole working life. A vivid example here is the insect ants that normally work and build their unique food stores when the weather is conducive and stay indoor in their anthills to enjoy that accumulation when the weather is cold and inclement. The wisdom in this process in this lower animal kingdom cannot be farfetched for human beings too so we all just must save for the rainy day.

The starting point for a moderate cost of life insurance is at the moment one sees the need for a life more abundant both for one him or herself and the one’s loved ones including children and relatives either at one’s old age and finally when one quits the final scene of life and here comes a point of contact with an insurance company or the agents that abound in nearly every nook and crannies of the urban areas in any country under the sun.


When the right insurance companies or agents are contacted, one will be apprised of different products and terms to suit one’s pocket. Since life insurance is, no doubt, a vehicle for capital formation to meet both ends at a particular point of life, the need to choose the very good options of moderate cost life insurance cannot be overemphasized at any stage of life. This could be in form of a protection for your family, business opportunities or additional retirement income or set off mortgage at a particular time. Life insurance is, no doubt, just like an umbrella with which one covers one’s head and body whenever the rain falls or when the shine is shine is very hot beyond the body temperature.

Going by the moderate cost, the most popular and easy one is the generally known term insurance, with this option, you are only accessible to mere protection and there can be no cash surrender value and therefore and no capital accruable before the death of the insured. While it is true that there are many ways to create capital to suit one’s personal purpose namely through regular savings, investment in mutual funds or normal business endeavors, moderate cost life insurance can only induce a capital after the demise of the insured and so the earlier one starts to think about getting a moderate cost life insurance at one’s prime age the better so that when the ultimate end comes one’s dependents will be better for it.

Why a life insurance policy is indispensable

Life insurance policy is, nowadays, a very important possession for which any right thinking person in today’s world of hustle and bustle can hardly do without because of the inevitable economic rat race that is seriously aggravated beyond any stretch of imagination since the emergence of the financial meltdown a couple of years ago. If one considers the rate at which untimely death occurs to people without regard for age, creed, color or social status and the untold sad effect on the unfortunate survivors, the reason to save for the rainy day cannot be farfetched.

While it is true that death either by natural causes or accident will come when it will come, so the need to prepare for it and save one’s dependants the agony of wading through the pains and pangs of life without any aftermath financial backing is always greatly felt particularly when these loved ones are at the prime age of life.

For who is the life insurance policy?
In most cases some people are of the erroneous impression that the life insurance policy is simply to take care of the burial expenses of the policy holder once the persons crosses to the other side of the great beyond but it is quite far and more important than that. Life insurance, no doubt, is intended to take care of the survivors of the deceased particularly when it comes to the issues of meeting the inevitable needs like children education for instance those whose age are below the age of 18 at the time of the bread winners death..


Which is the right insurance policy?
Although life is said to begin at forty, the earlier one starts to prepare for the old age the better since it is at that material point in one’s life that the energy and the thinking faculty appears to be at the peak. This is the reason why the life insurance client or the policy holder has to pay in accordance with the age and the type of work he or she does. It, therefore, stands to reason that a white collar job person is not to pay as much premium as someone in the energy sapping field like a laborer, a technician or a fireman so the riskier the work you are doing the more premium the cost of insurance.

Getting the right insurance policy.
Since owning an insurance policy is too important to be jettisoned, the next step is to get in touch with reputable companies having a track record of excellent performances not the ones that will be there today and vanish tomorrow. In many urban areas there are thousands of companies who appoint agents and salesmen to work for them on commission basis, all you need is to get hold of one and discuss your intentions with him or her and before you say Jack Robinson, you will be confronted with a range plans and prices that will suit your purpose. Once the negotiation is done and payment is made then you can relax and ensure that the premiums are paid as at when due because if that elapses, the outcome will be as good as not going into it at all and whichever way one looks at it, life insurance is a necessity.

Getting wide exposure from online advertising

Today, there is no doubting the fact that the greatest ever growing opportunity devised by mankind for its development is the information and communication technology and right from the last decade into this new millennium, it has contributed in no small measure to the way social interaction is conducted. The rate at which the devise has skyrocketed the clientele for any business be it, small, medium or large scale is so much to write home about since both the young and old upwardly mobile members of the society are the highest beneficiaries of the facilities it continues to produce day in day out.

The Internet gradually becomes the cheaper and quite affordable means of selling products or services owing to the high degree of interaction it offers between service providers and their ever growing customers. Mr. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft Incorporation in the United States got it right when he said sometime ago that, “In some years, all businesses shall be on the net, because you are either on the Internet or you are out of business” and that statement becomes glaring every degree of the day since he made it.

This is more glaring today since companies are hit every now and then by the ubiquitous economic recession, thereby leveraging the power of the Internet which now boosts businesses to a very high point and help in no small way to keep them steadily afloat. It is quite cheaper to advise business online because of the high effectiveness than the traditional methods since the online adverts remain longer with high focus at the right quarters.


Web users, no doubt, have access to unlimited information on their area of concentration so it remains the greatest resource medium for small, medium and large scale business promoters. Right now, business on the web is an assurance of unlimited exposure for both products and services while it is also an opportunity to build a first class space on the Internet. This is quite incomparable to what you get offline since the scalability is so high once you know what to do exactly.

The benefit of online advertising normally includes instant publishing of information and content and not limited to geographical contraption or time while the return on such investment is very high. Internet marketing relates to steps, strategies and methods applied to sell products or services profitably on the Internet with repeatable and automatic systems that creates an environment where people are induced to buy a product or service.

The common ways to advertise online include: cost per impression, cost per visitor and cost per click. Cost Per Mille (French word for ‘thousand’) is when advertisers pay for exposure of the message to a specific target. This is calculated per thousand impressions or loads of an advertisement. CPM costs are priced per thousand impressions. In most cases, some impressions are not counted because of a reload or self clicks.

The cost per click is also known as pay per click. For this method, advertisers pay each time a visitor clicks on the listing which is normally directed to another website. This method allows advertising specialists to refine searches and gain information about the targeted market.

Apparently, online advertising in this era of global economic melt down is a very indispensable tool for business success since the economies rise and shrinks the need for a highly profitable advertising cannot be overemphasized. Be that as it may, it is necessary to be well informed of search engine optimization (SEO) which is the keyword for a profitable online advertising. Obviously, knowledge about writing SEO optimizes results while it pushes products and contents to the people who will be eager to buy them.

While it is true that that the Internet technology is rapidly growing and changing, online advertising still relates to the normal basic principles of physiology, self-actualization, self-esteem, security and social needs which do not always change during a global economic recession.

How to earn fabulously by Freelancing

How to earn fabulously by freelancing should be the focus of professional and career men and women today owing to the fact that the job market is completely full beyond any stretch of imagination. Furthermore the current ubiquitous global economic melt down is not helping the survival process at all and the take home pay is nothing to write home about when it comes to the issues of making ends meet by an average family.

Are you a fresh school leaver? a professional in search of paid employment with a fat scale salary or you have been on regular paid employment for long and you have nothing tangible to show for it in terms of material or financial possession or want a sort of freedom for yourself for the purpose of making a better life then you should consider the option of going freelance because nothing is more assuring than being self-reliant. Apart from the fact that you stand the chance of earning up to five times of your present income, you will have plenty of time to take care of other social responsibilities.

A case in point is that of a university lecturer, a friend of mine, that has put in more than 20 years in the service but still live from hand to mouth, he just decided one day after meeting disappointments upon disappointments from some his associates that stopped lending him money to take care of his needs before the end of the month to plunge into the vast uncertain field of self-employment. All he did was just to start writing articles for different newspapers as a freelance and since he is quite good in writing, one of the media houses he worked for just decided to send him on assignment to several African and European countries. This, no doubt, afforded him the opportunity of mingling with like minded people from whom he made good contacts and after sometime, he utilized that opportunity to set up himself on freelance business and today, he rakes in almost ten times of his pay packet when he was on regular employment.


There is no gainsaying the fact that freelancing reduces the rate of unemployment which is the bane of the people particularly the youth today. According to Andrea Poe in his book: “How to freelance your expertise”: there is an array of careers into which freelancing can thrive very well and these include: book and journal publishing, editing, proofreading, indexing, computer web design, consulting, tour guiding and translating.

Freelancing service can be a gold mine for film animators, financial planners, data entry processors, furniture makers, events planners, private investigators, photographers, grant writers and political speech writers. The beauty of it all is that, as a freelance you have the liberty of charging your clients per day or per hour or per project and your payments can either be upfront or on completion of the service. As a full time freelancer, you will work when you want and rest when your nature can no longer allow further stress. Obviously there is no boss to nag at you or breathe on your neck to do, in most cases, what you are not expected to do.

How to earn fabulously by Freelancing should no longer be a bother to you once you are ready to take the plunge for there is more for you to gain there than to lose. Just give it a try and surely that will be for you the beginning of a life more abundant.

Three Short Steps To Business Success

As the New Year begins in earnest, what normally occupies any right thinking person’s mind not only in this part of the world but in every race and clime is how to lead a life that is completely devoid of poverty, ignorance and wants and so the three short steps to business carefully identified in this piece of writing will go a long way in helping to achieve that objective..

There is no gainsaying the fact that right from the inception of the global economic meltdown a couple of years ago, making ends meet has not been that easy for an average family and so the need to make supplemental income is always greatly felt and this is the more reason why the only survival instinct lies with the alternative means of livelihood the most apparent one of which is going into private business.

Thank goodness, the worldwide web, the Internet rather, continues to play a very significant role in leading the process of individual survival whatever may be one’s station of life: academics, engineering, law, economics, business administration, aeronautic science and numerous other areas of human endeavor. There is no doubting the fact that, today, several billions of Dollars worth of business are transacted year in year out on the Internet and without that singular great feat that continues to impact on the human society in no small measure, one can imagine the worsening rate of poverty that would have been the lot of the human race today.


The major point of this piece as indicated earlier is how it is possible for a typical man of the street to have a considerable share of the great accruable income and investment from the world wide web and if the three short steps proposed is strictly followed to the letter, there is no reason why one would not start to smile to the bank in the next couple of months. The only impediment that can stand on one’s way is, if after the reading the piece, the necessary action is jettisoned

1.Your preparedness:
If you truly want to be rich as this New Year unfolds, you will, in the first place, give yourself a thorough assessment of that intention no matter what your current private or social business endeavor may be. After that, put on a conscientious weighing scale your strong and weak points at tackling issues, inter-personal skills, talents, social adaptation and see how all these can be blended towards a successful freedom and venture.

2. Your likes and dislikes.
After you must have done that ponder seriously over your likes and dislikes and be quite objective in doing that since whichever you may look at it, your fate lies in that direction as a guide to the shape of what your intended business would be. There is no gainsaying the fact that if you get into a business that you do not like but because you see others making a success out of it, you will become miserable along the line and eventually fall by the way side.

3.What you like or do not like to do:
Is there something you are doing now or have done in the past that earns you some considerable good bucks whether in terms of hobby or special interest, then all you need do is to make some wide consultations with people that have succeeded in them and follow their footsteps. You should be mindful of the fact that whatever may your next area of endeavor you still need someone as a mentor to show you the right way and that abounds also in the Internet particularly through diligent search on search on the numerous search engines on the Internet.

Set Your Goals and Live a Better Life

Set your goals and live a better life? This topic, no doubt, might look so mundane and quite unimportant to some people because they do not see any need for that once, in their own uncultured minds, they are living a normal life with easy access to basic necessities of life including food, clothing and shelter and by that, they feel there is no other missing link to common existence that should give them a cause for concern. For this set of people, it is not the life itself that matters but whatever goodness or sadness that is dragged to it.

Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the erudite Nigerian leader in his hey days in the country’s political arena was regarded by friends and opponents alike as a man with a plan just because of the unparalleled innovations he brought to social well-being of his people in the south-western part of Nigeria. The achievements including the first television, the first football stadium, the first radio station and many other things that could be regarded as day dreams in our part of the world in the early 1950s. As far as the late erudite chief was concerned, if you fail to plan you will always plan to fail no matter what your station in life may be.. Much as he tried to become the president of the country by elections on several occasions, he was vehemently denied the opportunity by the reactionary forces beyond his control and when he passed on to the world beyond, he was then generally recognized as the “President Nigeria never had”.

If you set your goals properly, you will then not be quite far from a better secured and rewarding future while freedom from wants, ignorance and poverty will take a definite flight from you. Whichever way one looks at it, setting goals is a very significant part of success and positive accomplishments and the phenomenon itself started from God almighty himself. This can better be buttressed from the way He created the seasons where we have the winter, autumn, spring and summer that are diligently arranged in such a way that they do not happen at the same time just like the morning, afternoon and the night.


Those who set their goals in the right way, no doubt, define quite a good parameter for wholesome achievements in life, since they should be able to clearly identify their starting point, mid-way assessment, how and where to adjust, and where and when to put an end to their efforts.

Goal setting normally allows for dealing with vital challenges that may affect the established focus along the line and will further provide the necessary means and ability to identify challenges as well as the solutions to nip them in the bud. Be that as it may, there will be no room for complacency or any fear of the unknown which are the characteristics of people without plan.

It should, of course be borne in mind that goal setting is just a means to an end and not the end itself, so by that very fact, it should embrace a positive outlook, self-discipline and unparalleled integrity. It is quite possible to secure a good blueprint and target, but if this is not accompanied by a very high discipline to make it work no positive result will be achieved.

To set Your Goals and Live a Better Life is not as not as difficult as you can imagine, the only parameter is that your determination to make it work must be very sound while your self-discipline must be far above average. Since there are millions of people all over the world that set goals and finally succeed in one way or another, there is no way you can be an exception.

How to Enhance Business with High Turnover Strategy

There is no doubting the fact that the reason why people are in business is to earn profit but some entrepreneurs, particularly, in the developing countries falsely take it for granted that the best way to maximize their efforts is to sell their products at very exorbitant prices.

$0ABusiness development experts, contrary to this erroneous belief, are of the opinion that the surest way to enhance profit in any business concern is to, first of all ensure its growth in a gradual manner. This, can, no doubt, be achieved and sustained through a steady increase in turnover. They also admit that the rate at which a business entrepreneur replenishes his or her stock is the sure determinant factor for the scope of the business with especial focus on the profit margin.

Instead of running after higher profit margin with low turnover, it is quite advisable to sell the products at lower profit margins so as to increase the rate of turnover particularly for the fast moving consumer goods. A business man or woman who adopts the latter business strategy is in a better position to make progress in the effort than the former. In order to realize the expected growth rate, the issue of location has to be taken into consideration this is because a strategically placed business establishment can better attract more clients than those that are located in a more remote and inaccessible areas while the prices of goods are capable of either encouraging or discouraging buyers from buying a particular product.


It is equally a matter of fact that the increase in the rate at which a business man or woman fills the stock can entail an increase in the productive capacity of the establishment thereby attracting a competitive edge in his or her chosen industry. This will also help to realize surplus income from decrease in the cost of both labor and production.

Turnover is the rate at which stock of goods are frequently converted into cash for further purchases while an increase in sale can normally induce an increase in stock if the proceeds are ploughed back into the business. There is, however, link between an increase in the turnover and growth of a business endeavor while the higher the rate of turnover, the higher the growth rate. There is, of course, a strong connection between the rate of turnover of a business and its growth rate. If an entrepreneur sells more and ploughs back the returns back into the business, there is a better opportunity of increasing the profit margin that will lead to the growth of the business.

It is quite unfortunate that some business men and women normally allow their propensity for profit to lose sight of the gains that are accruable from this business strategy and this stagnates much of the efforts that can potentially contribute ideally to the economic base of the nation.

It will be wrong to assume that most business entrepreneurs are unaware of the fact that an increase in the rate of turnover will eventually lead to business expansion but rather they refuse to embrace it because of the culture of insincerity to which they are used. It is only when entrepreneurs adopt business strategy that leads to growth of their efforts that the national economic rediscovery can be attained.

The state of the economy should not be the reason for one not to embark on a matter that will make one to be self-reliant for a life time particularly these days when white collar jobs continue to be out of easy reach so starting your own business can surely provide a safety net or rather a hedge against the unknown future..

If you start your own business the right way, it will be easy for you to generate more income for yourself without having to depend on others for survival or worry about the stress and pressure from anyone since you live solely by what you earn. This will make it possible for you to work at your own pace and also have adequate time for your family and do what you like at the time you want without anyone breathing on your neck.

There is no reason to use the parlous economy as an excuse but as a means for motivation and determination to live a better life. You start off by finding a passion which you must develop and market and in the end it will be glaring to you that the financial stagnation induced by the current global economic impasse will have an insignificant effect on you and also on your purse. Surely at a point, you may just wake up one morning and realize that you do not have to be an employee under anyone again.

The only point here is that before you venture into any profit making business, it is necessary to have adequate fund that will support you for a considerable length of time right from the planning stage and also reduce your budget for entertainments and other social engagements. You should also conduct a good number of feasibility studies and test run your efforts in order to check the profitability. It is also necessary that you must ensure that your recurrent domestic and public utility bills are well taken care of and also keep something aside for unforeseen circumstances. There is no doubt that there are challenges to face along the way but the end always justifies the means and that is why you must start your own business without further delay.

There is no gainsaying the fact that the manner business is run today cannot, by any stretch of imagination, be compared to what it was a couple of years ago particularly at the commencement of this present millennium. From the look of things, the fast rate of phenomenal growth in technology particularly the World Wide Web environment has immensely facilitated the way we learn, work and relax with a great impact on global business transactions. The web equally makes it possible for everyone to transcend physical limitation and transformation with the emergence of new online opportunities that emerge every passing day.

It is quite clear that the world shrinks every degree of the day from the village to a tiny living room while physical assets and geographical boundaries can be likened to a mere verbal expression in as much as the traditional status quo limitations like age, sex and position seem to be less important in transactions unlike a few years ago.

At the same time, provision of infrastructure should be geared to boost efficiency, responsiveness and business adaptability.


While, at the present moment, the Internet is often accessed in some places particularly in the developing countries through the computer, the equipment has metamorphosed from being just an information tool to an inevitable business companion. Right now, Web 2.0 is a business revolution in the digital world and its ardent mastery can induce a huge success in business development.

A very good way of creating and sustaining a viable business on the Internet is by initiating an idea into an information product and turn it into an e-book, newsletter, reports as well as “how to” do articles like this one you are reading. Since it is generally agreed that information rules the world, everything, however, depends on one’s ability to learn the way and manner of selling one’s products on the Internet and by that very fact, a huge amount of money can be made on any information product.
There are many other possibilities like getting to know the general intricacies and opportunities from search engines like Yahoo and Google as well as their income earning programs like Ad Words and Ad Sense.
