Middle Class is Losing in This Market Meltdown

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just yell, "Uncle", like we did as a kid when a sibling was trouncing us? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up tomorrow and all of the news this past month (plus) was a dream? Everything going on right now is preoccupying the minds of all Americans. Whether you work for a corporation, or have a home-based business, whether you are currently "okay" financially, or strung as tight as a rubber band - long term we will all be affected.

Do You Trust the Experts on Wall Street or Yourself?

So who do you think has the most vested interests in your financial future …. the so called experts, or yourself? Yes, the folks on Wall Street make big commissions (or used to) when you traded with them, but no-one cares about your money the way you do , or should. Many of us have been provided with guesses and opinions, but when I wanted to begin my journey to financial education I researched until I found a group with facts, honesty and integrity. And although this may sound like a "plug" for them, I can tell you sincerely, if I had not found continue reading »

$700 Billion Bailout Still Not Enough?

Every day the headlines talk about a new company that has reported less than desirable earnings, and are now requesting support from the government. The domino effect has been created and it’s global. Some time back I mentioned a movie that has been playing around the country in select cities called I.O.U.S.A. I now have the book and will be reading it over the next couple of weeks. I’ll let you know my thoughts when I finish it.

Meanwhile, I thought Kip Herriage (The CEO & Founder of Wealth Masters Int’l) had an interesting post on his blog yesterday. He wrote: continue reading »

Get Your Website Listed Today

I’m talking about in the directories…. Are you listed with major search engines ? If not you should be, as many people search the directories for businesses. Some of these directories are free , while some require a small fee , but I suggest you get listed with as many as possible because they are effective . Listings with directories also create those wanted back links to your site as well, which will help with your "organic" rankings. There are literally thousands of sites you can be listed with, but here are a few you can springboard off of: continue reading »

Does Age Discrimination Worsen Within a Recession?

"87% of Americans believe that women will experience age discrimination at some point in their lives"

"Women think age discrimination begins at age 43 for themselves and at age 47 for men"

According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), age based complaints are up about 21% from 10 years ago. Elizabeth Grossman, an attorney with EEOC’s New York office says, "People are living longer and wanting to work longer. But quite a few employers resist keeping these employees on their payroll past a certain point." They also are saying that applicants over 50, continue reading »

The Most Effective Way To Market To Today’s Moms

Today, I want to share with you a source I periodically use, and the recent email I received from this group. They have a plethora of information on any target market you may want to know more about. Here’s the latest from them…..

As with most groups, there is no homogenous "moms market."

There are nuclear family moms. Traditional moms. Working moms. Military moms. Single moms. Lesbian moms.

There are motherless moms. Teen moms. Neurotic moms. Black moms. Moms with Ph.Ds.

You get the idea.

And while each of these subgroups — and scores more — has certain unique characteristics, there are also common bonds that cut across most mom groupings.

The research study What Moms Think & Do, just issued by EPM Communications, publisher of the monthly newsletter Marketing To Women, continue reading »
