The prices at the pump are going down across the country, but we are still paying more than 1 dollar per gallon as compared to this time last year. It’s nice to see gas under 4 dollars a gallon and I think a lot of us would be real happy to see gas go back under 3 dollars a gallon. The stock market still seems to have a few problems that is holding it back from really taking off. It’s possible we could see a surge in stocks this winter around the holiday season, but there is nothing there to indicate that stocks will be up for the rest of 2008.

The best thing is to continue to add our extra money into the stocks and funds we are currently invested in. There are bargains across the board on Wall Street and you want to add new money into your portfolios when stocks are down like this. People that are on the verge of retiring might want to hold off until things become more clear, but for most of us that have 10+ years or more until our retirement, can continue to be aggressive and if you are investing money you don’t need until retirement, now is a good time to show some of that aggression. The drug companies and technology stocks look like solid investments for the remainder of this year. The retail stocks look like a safe bet and I believe the banking and credit card stocks would be a wise choice to start focusing on more too. You don’t have to look hard for the bargains in the stock market; now if we can just say the same thing about the price of oil at the pumps!

Advertising and promoting is what a lot of people need to do online in order to be successful.

I continue to be one of those people, but I also would like to capture some of the advertising dollars people and businesses are willing to pay for online promotions.

Do you still use the regular snail mail? I know many people now have started using email as the best way to send letters and messages back and forth. Email is a lot easier and faster than the standard mail. If you haven’t got hip with the email thing yet or maybe you just prefer to send mail out the old fashion way; you can save a lot of time and energy with return address labels. Labels that will just stick right on to the envelopes and can have your name or business and your address information. Not only is this easier than writing the information your self, but it makes it look more professional if you have clients, associates or business partners you might send mail out to.

This is such a great deal, you might want to go ahead and pick up some return address labels, even if you don’t send out a lot of letters. You will always have them there for the letters you do send out. What about the Christmas cards every year? If you have to send out dozens and dozens of Christmas cards, you don’t want to be writing your return address on all of those envelopes. Go ahead and pick up some return address labels from VistaPrint and you will be ready when December gets here!

A good way for any company or business to see an instant impact on sales or interest for their product or service is to target a specific area. You can achieve this by getting the right sales leads.

I still have a pretty good size baseball card collection. My collection is actually more than just baseball cards. I have basketball cards, Nascar cards, football cards and hockey cards. I like trying to find the next sports phenom that is going to be good for the next decade or so and collecting as many of his rookie cards as I can. Rookie cards is the best card you can have of any player. It’s their first card and usually that is the one that will be worth the most. Some card companies will produce a limited number of a sports card and those usually book pretty well in the price guides.

A rookie card is like your 1st grade picture or kindegarten picture. Now if I had a picture of all your class mates from your 1st grade class; the amount they would be worth would depend on how the person did in life. The buddies you had in first grade and are now working at fast food restaurants and low paying jobs like that; then their 1st grade photos would not be worth much. If I had a picture of a student that you went to first grade with and they went to Harvard and graduated and they are now a big time attorney; then their first grade photo would be worth a lot of money. That’s the way rookie cards work for those that collect baseball cards. If the player turns out to be a superstar; his rookie card will be worth a lot and if that player doesn’t last long, their card will be cheap.

I haven’t bought any sports cards over the last year or so, but I would like to go out and find some cards of the latest phenoms that are playing in sports right now. Players like Sidney Crosby from the NHL, Adrian Peterson and Calvin Johnson from the NFL, Kevin Durant and Al Horford from the NBA and Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder from MLB. These are just some of the young players I would like to have their rookie cards. If you can think of a sports phenom that is going to be good in the near future; then please leave a reply and I will look them up! It’s always fun to see who the next superstar is going to be in any sport.

A lot of people are taking advantage of affiliate programs to make a little extra money these days. It’s pretty easy to do and doesn’t take a lot of physical effort to make some extra cash with affiliate programs. I have a few tips and some advice that you might can use to get started with an affiliate program of your choosing.

CHOOSE SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW

Make sure you have some general knowledge of what you’re promoting with your affiliate program. If you have an idea or understanding of your product or service, this will go a long ways into getting other people interested about the things you’re promoting. I like to fish, so it would make sense for me to get with an affiliate program that might sell fishing rods, lures and other things that would be related to fishing. I know that the warm months are when most of these items are purchased, so I have an understanding of what time of the year these products will be the hottest. Now I can use a search engine and look for “fishing affiliate programs” and I’m sure I could find a few out there that I could join. Most affiliate programs are free and they give you a small percentage of each sale you make. So I might be able to get a dollar for every 10 dollars of fishing supplies I could sell for a company.

Using the computer is the best way for me to get the most sales. So I could look to classifieds, newsgroups, social networking avenues, blogs, traffic exchanges and things like that, to help me promote my products. I would most likely have an affiliate page that customers could order from and this would keep track of all the customers I brought to my fishing affiliate company. Companies will use tracking links to help keep up with what customers you brought to them. In many cases these affiliate pages will leave a cookie on the people viewing your page from the computer and you could get credit days, weeks, or even months down the road for any items that person might make in the future. So you don’t have to have a direct sale to get credit in most cases.

PROMOTE MORE THAN JUST ONE WAY

When you start your affiliate program, don’t just have one way to get people to notice what items you have available. You might have one very effective tool that you know will work, but don’t limit yourself to just that idea. Constantly be thinking of new ways to promote your products and do a little research on a regular basis, so you can stay up with all the latest ideas and promotion techniques that marketers might be using. Promote your product in as many ways as you can, so you can maximize your earnings through your affiliate program.

TARGET SPECIFIC AREAS

Learn what areas your products are being sold at or what place your product makes the most sense. I would not want to target people living in the desserts of Arizona and Nevada for my fishing supplies. I would assume there wouldn’t be many lakes in those areas and I would have better luck in Minnesota, where it’s the state known as the home of 10,000 lakes. If Minnesota has 10,000 lakes there must be a lot of people fishing and will need to get fishing supplies, so they might as well buy them from my fishing referral page. So I would try my best to target the folks of Minnesota and their land of 10,000 lakes. If you have access to where people are buying your products from or the company’s products, be sure to maximize your efforts in the geographical places people are buying these products. Information like this can be like gold, if you decide to use it to your advantage.

DON’T SPAM OR DRIVE YOUR CONSUMERS AWAY

Email advertising can be a very effective way to advertise. However, many folks don’t like getting a bunch of junk email from people that are trying to sell them something. Try to avoid spamming your potential customers and many affiliate programs frown at this practice and they might just cancel your affiliation with them. So make sure if you use emails to advertise with, you’re sending them out to people that want to see what you have to offer. You can attract a lot more bees with honey than to make them mad at your constant emails you might be sending them.

DON’T GIVE UP

Many people think they can start making hundreds or thousands a dollars right away from an affiliate program. In most cases this is only going to be a small secondary income for you. Affiliate programs don’t have any quotas that you must meet each period to stay in their program. At least this is the case with most affiliate programs. So once you sign up, you can stay in your affiliate program as long as you like. Since it’s free and you don’t have to pay any money to stay in them, don’t give up! Hang in there and try to do at least one thing everyday to help you possibly make a sale. If you have a referral page and you attract enough people to it daily over an extended period of time, then the search engines will pick up your page and you will be listed there, when people come looking for your products. Imagine if my fishing page got listed high on a search engine for the terms of “fishing supplies” “fishing lures” “fishing rods” “cheap fishing tackle”, I would expect anyone of these terms to drive more traffic to my affiliate page, if I was lucky enough to get them listed on the first page of Google, Yahoo, MSN or Ask.com. You can work your way to the top of the list if you just stay with your affiliate program and continue to do something each day that helps get visitors to your website. So don’t give up!

Now these are just some tips and advice I have learned from the affiliate program game. I’m always open to new ideas and suggestions, so if you have any good ways to achieve affiliate programs, I would love to hear from you. Please leave a reply to any helpful information you might have and feel free to include a link. This will be one more little thing you can do today to help advertise your affiliate pages! So I welcome anyone that wants to reply with a link to their affiliate program. You might just earn some traffic from my blog.

A good business to be in right now in the South is the guys that drill the wells. A lot of concerns over a water supply that is dwindling everyday. Some homeowners are taking matters in their own hands and having wells dug out on their property. I think that is a great idea and especially for people that have a yard or plants that need the extra water. If you have your own well, you can water outside as much as you want. Nobody can tell you when or how to water your plants outside. If things ever get worse and people’s taps start running dry; then you have a water source for drinking. I think the well diggers will be busy for the next several years, as it seems climate change is going to dramatically affect the folks in the South.

When I was in college one of the toughest part of school were the year end essay or dissertations that we had to complete. This was to take a case study and apply what we had learned and make our recommendations to the class. Each paper was graded  on your ability to articulate the why and how a company would survive long term with the correct marketing tools. I had class members who were very good at the research end and I could deliver the presentation. So it was essential to find the right classmates to team up with on a given project to pull from the strengths of each team member.

A list of 8 stocks were listed on a recent MSN article that you can buy for less than 10 dollars. These stocks got brought to the top from an extensive screen test. All of these stocks look like they could move higher and if you’re looking for an investment that you can purchase a lot of shares in for a low price, then this might be your ticket. Check out these 8 stocks and see if they are right for your portfolio. Be sure to do your own homework on these stocks.

1. Art Technology Group (ARTG)
2. Actuate (ACTU)
3. Medifast (MED)
4. Netlist (NLST)
5. RealNetworks (RNWK)
6. STEC (STEC)
7. Silicon Image (SIMG)
8. Website Pros (WSPI)

Most of these stocks fall in the technology sector. Don’t let that scare you and you could invest in all 8 of these stocks and still be diversified. Many of the stocks appearing in the same sector, still operate in different fields and if one stock was hurt because of a technology crunch, doesn’t mean others would be.

I would hold off for a few weeks before I invested in these 8 stocks. I’m sure the MSN article will send a lot of investors out to buying these stocks in large quanities. I would wait until the rush is over and look for a pullback and buy these stocks at a price for less than what they are trading at right now.

I was just wondering which business would be the better one to go into, a place that you had storage buildings or a car wash? I like the business models of both of these. I think they are two businesses that would practically run their self. The car wash you would have to empty the trash a lot, but it’s a business that is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. A lot like the storage buildings you would be renting. You would probably rent these out by monthly rates and holidays and weekends, you would make just as much money as you would through the week.

I guess I’m a bit lazy and to think that I could get a business that would operate itself makes it a little more appealing to me. If you have any suggestions on which one of these businesses you would prefer, then please let me know. Maybe you have some inside information or know someone that runs a car wash or a facility for storage buildings, and you can let me know which one is the better one!
