In doing wholesale deals there are certainly a lot of things that can go wrong. One example is a house that was bought and taken over subject to the existing financing (where the sellers mortgage remains in place and the seller deeds over the property). At first the seller seemed like a nice guy having good intentions, but he didn’t pay his bills. Soon began the problems of getting the guy out of the house. The guy had come into a real hard situation, his daughter had been shot and he was given a lot of grace, basically he was allowed to live rent for free for quite some time. But eventually the guy left owing a $700 bill. It would have cost more money to try to collect from him legally than we could collect from pursuing legal action. We consider that we did two mistakes in this case: first, we didn’t set appropriate boundaries with the seller and the second one, we trusted people a little bit too far. So, everybody should keep in mind what former President Ronald Reagan said: “…trust but verify!”

The next big mistake was on another subject to transaction. This guy said that all he wanted was $5,000 and he had a pay off statement that indicated his pay was off was $22,000 and that number worked, 22 plus 5 is 27. At $27k this is a good deal so we went to a money partner and said pull out the $5,000 and let the sign over the deed right and then we would go and pay the mortgage for a couple of months and then would pay off the house when we wholesale in the next 30 or 60 days. So, we gave the seller the $5,000, but we forgot to do the title search. What the guy didn’t tell us was that the $22k mortgage was not the only mortgage, but he had a 2nd short term mortgage loaned from a mortgage company and he was already in the process of foreclosure on it too. Now we would have to pay off another $6k and so the deal was no longer any good. We felt it wasn’t a good deal anymore as we had already given $5,000 and now we would have to give a $28,000 pay off and be in the house at $33k. The guy didn’t give the money back and again trying to persuade him legally would have cost more than we had to collect. That’s the way we lost $5,000. So, when you start a deal check the title first before giving the seller any money! You don’t want to lose your money! This is also a reason to avoid kitchen table closings as opposed to spending the money with a title company or closing attorney, because in the long run doing it the right way will save you money and let you sleep better at night.

The Emergency Assistance Industry

If you’ve ever needed roadside assistance in South Africa, chances are you’ve come away from the experience disappointed. It’s not like the towing services aren’t out there – just look around and you’ll see them all over the place: Sitting under a tree, parked at a busy intersection, just waiting for you to have an accident.


Sadly however, when your car breaks down and you urgently need help, they all seem to have disappeared. Call any of the assistance services that seem to come free with everything these days (and of course are not free at all), and you will find that delays of an hour plus are quite common. Would you believe that even the occasional 24-hour delay is not unheard of.


Picture the scene: You’re standing next to the road worried about your car, or your family’s safety, or your next appointment, and the operator’s saying “Don’t worry sir, our service provider will be there tomorrow!”


In fact if your car broke down it would probably be better if you drove into a ditch just before you came to a standstill – as ridiculous as that may sound you would have several tow truck operators all over you like a rash before you could reach for your phone!


Over 40 million people in South Africa have to deal with emergencies on a daily basis, whether it is medical, home-related, motor-related, mental trauma or pertaining to various legal issues. Most of them do not always know where to turn to for help, or how to handle basic health issues and personal trauma. There is no doubt that the assistance industry deserves to change.


The motoring public are still not exactly spoilt for choice; apart from the AA and a few lesser known groups such as McCarthy Club there is not much else. Apart from the AA, other reputable assistance companies like Europ Assistance concentrate on corporate assistance. However, the level of crime on the roads keeps increasing so we need better roadside assistance, more reliable response times and most of all accountability.

Roadside Assistance: Where it all began


According to the AA the first motoring organisation was the Automobile Club of SA, formed in Cape Town in 1901. This body began to lobby for improved roads and amenities for cars. The effect was a mere ripple in the pond for the motoring numbers grew slowly. The Anglo Boer War ended in 1902, the first car in Johannesburg was registered in 1904, the first American imports arrived in 1906, and the first motor show was held in 1908. The local motor assembly commenced in 1923. In January of 1930 the Federation of Clubs was liquidated and reconstituted as the Automobile Association of SA.

Roadside Assistance: The situation at present


There are many examples of corporate assistance schemes, including those offered on a compulsory basis by several motor manufacturers and insurance companies. If your vehicle is covered by an assistance product from the manufacturer (while under warranty) and/or your insurance company, an AA membership is sometimes considered necessary.


But, it is an accepted fact that owners of (especially new) vehicles may now be covered many times over by various different assistance schemes, with the result that an AA member could also be a member of BMW-on-Call, or Delta Assist, or Santam Assist.


While this holds true, it is also a fact that the average age of the over 6 million vehicles in South Africa today is approximately 13 years (as reported by the RMI). Most of these are no longer under warranty and many of them are not even insured, so does that imply that they do not need access to a reliable assistance service? Obviously not – in fact the most vulnerable of individuals may own vehicles that fall into this category, including students and the aged.


While price is a factor, clearly service levels are even more important. Moreover, what makes the assistance industry so different that guarantees of some kind are not in order! Surely, services that are promised should be backed up – at least to the extent that there is an offer on the table to repay the member should the service not be satisfactory.

Federal Stafford student loans have low interest rates and are more appealing when they feature benefits and incentives, according to NextStudent, the Phoenix-based premier education funding company.

If you want to buy an automobile but you need financial assistance within short span of time, what you will do in such condition? Fortunately, financial market has provided with fast auto loan. But, the next question arises that why the lender will approve an auto loan amount within short span of time. It’s just the presence of three factors which enables the lender to approve the loan amount faster. They are:


• Internet


• Collateral


• Credit score


Today information technology has made it possible the task of availing fast auto loan simpler and easier. Internet has a massive number of online lenders offering fast auto loan. It’s just a game of couple of minutes. You are only obliged to enter in the fast auto loan site and fill an application asking various personal and financial details. Once the application is filled and online lender feels satisfied with the information provided then he approves an auto loan amount. And, finally the amount gets transferred in the account, electronically.


Second factor which is responsible for the faster approval of fast auto loan is the collateral placed. As collateral placed by the borrower let the lender feel secure on the part of any non payment of installment of the auto loan.


Generally, auto loan can be availed with or without security that is secured auto loan and unsecured auto loan. But, the secured form is always suggested in order to get the faster approval of the loan amount and also to avail low interest rate.


Thirdly, the credit score of the borrower puts the great impact on the lender. The borrower with good credit score always takes over the advantage of low interest rate and faster approval. The reason is that the lender also prefers dealing with the person with good credit score.


The borrower always tries to get the most competitive deal of the fast auto loan. But, it’s not so difficult it seems as the borrower is recommended to search and locate on the internet, various lender offering fast auto loan. After locating, he should ask for the loan quote which is provided free of cost by the lenders. Loan quote gives an idea of the total cost involved in the fast auto loan deal. With the help of the loan quote the borrower can also compare the various offers made to him. In this way the task of choosing the most competitive deal becomes very simpler.


So, don’t wait just go and buy your dream automobile with fast auto loan.

Simple Ways to Get Low Interest Rate Auto Loans

If we thoroughly go through the concept of auto loan, what exactly are the factors which make an initial auto loan as low interest rate auto loans? Surprisingly, we came across those factors which we generally ignore and don’t give much importance to them. But, eventually they are only responsible for making an auto loan as low interest rate auto loans. These factors are:


• Collateral


• Credit score


• Online


• Credit worthiness


Collateral placed makes the lender feel secure in regard to missing any payment of installment. The lender always prefers dealing with that person who places security. But, this doesn’t mean that the person who can’t place security will not be able to avail low interest rate auto loans. They can also avail but with little higher interest rate as compared to the person who places collateral.


Second point which matters is the credit score. Good credit scorer always gives the lender a sense of security that he will not miss any payment. In other words lender feels that good credit scorers are trustworthy and his good credit score is an assurance for him. In this situation it is absolutely right to say that our past defines our future. On the other hand, the lender charges a bit high interest rate from the bad credit scorer in order to balance his risk.


Thirdly, information technology has made the task of applying a low interest rate auto loan as simpler and easier. The best part of applying low interest rate auto loans is that it doesn’t involve processing and other overhead cost. This further enables the lender to offer low interest rate auto loan. Applying through online mode is beneficial for both lender and the borrower.


Lastly, the credit worthiness, in other words the ability to meet all the repayments of the low interest rate auto loan. Bank account, past credit history, all of them plays a crucial role in determining the credit worthiness of the person.


It is true that all the factors lower the interest rate but if these factors combine then it automatically results in cheap, best and competitive deal.


While locating the lender of the low interest rate auto loan, the person is required to ask for the loan quote which is provided at free of cost by the lender. Loan quote helps in comparing the various offers being made and this comparison further helps in choosing the most appropriate offer.

Marketing with Content Hubs

 Free Deals  Comments Off on Marketing with Content Hubs

A new type of promotional medium has sprung up or evolved on the Internet over the past two years – namely “content hubs.”

A content hub is a type of web site that has lots of informational articles on it. A person with a web site, who needs article content for their site, can go to a content hub and download articles for free on a wide variety of topics, and then post them on their web site. These content hubs allow you to search by topic or category or by keyword.

Writers can post articles on the content hubs. The benefit for the writer is that he can mention his company and include his web site address in the article. And that provides in-bound links to his web site, from the content hubs themselves, and from every web site where that article is posted. In-bound links, meaning links from other web sites that link to yours, increase link popularity, which is one of the main criteria used by Google and other search engines to determine web site ranking.

So the content hubs service both writers who want to get the word out on their company or products or services, and people who have web sites who need article content.

The key, for a writer, is to write something that will appeal to the general public, or at least to a sizable specific niche public (such as webmasters or web promotion for instance), so that the article gets downloaded and used on lots of sites in need of content.

It is also key to include the name of the company in the article, preferably near the beginning, and include the company web address in the article as well, and in the writer bio at the end.

The article itself should not be written in such a way that it is just a blatant promo piece for your company. It has to be written so that it is about a topic that your company deals with or you are an expert on, and it mentions your company, but it doesn’t say “call us now at 1-800-222-2222 for a great deal on tires” at the end. In other words, what in marketing is called a “call to action,” where you tell your prospect to contact you or to respond for more information or to buy now, should not be included in articles for content hubs.

If there are specific key words or phrases that people use to find your web site (most web statistics programs can give you this information), or to look for your product or service, then try to find a way to include those words or phrases near the beginning of your article.

It’s a good idea to look over the type of articles that are currently being accepted on content hubs, to get a better idea of what works there, and so you can write articles that will fit this medium. Some good content hubs to look at are:
http://www.goarticles.com
http://www.isnare.com/
http://www.articlecity.com/
http://www.exchangenet.com/
http://freezinesite.com/
http://articles.simplysearch4it.com/
http://www.dime-co.com/

There are currently over 700 content hubs on the Internet.

Most of the content hubs require that you register with them before they will allow you to post an article there. Some of the sites have your article reviewed by a live person before it goes up. Some will just post it without review.

Once you get registered on a number of content hubs, it is best to post one article, then post more articles at intervals of about once a week. Make sure you include your company name and URL in each article.

If your company has any articles written already that were written for other purposes, you may be able to convert them into a form that will work for the content hubs. The key is to read the types of articles that are already appearing on the hubs and convert your content into a similar form.

Content hubs are a great way to get out information on your company, and are becoming one of the primary ways of promoting on the net.

Treadmill Guide: Take Good Care Of Treadmill Belts

 Free Deals  Comments Off on Treadmill Guide: Take Good Care Of Treadmill Belts
Apr 102021
 

Treadmill belts make an important part of treadmills. Most often folks in order to save a few dollars end up buying a treadmill with belts that need an early replacement. Wherein, this
replacement can cost you more than what you could have spent on buying a treadmill with improved quality belt.


Therefore, while buying a treadmill you must ensure that length and width of the belt is proper to accommodate you. Better go for a trial exercise on the treadmill you are likely to buy. You
must also check quality of belt against your comfort level while on workout. In fact it is advisable to go for extensive examination of belt by doing trial workouts of different levels with varying
speed and incline. Once you feel comfortable with belt in all such workouts you can strike a deal for that treadmill.


Length of belt in most of the treadmills usually varies between forty five to fifty inches. Normally width is around fifteen to sixteen inches. However, a very obese as well as tall person may
feel uncomfortable with this length and width. They may look for an ordered treadmill for desired length and width.


You should constantly keep track of your belt’s condition and you must not continue working out on an uncomfortable and frayed treadmill belt. Once belt starts getting thin you should be extra
cautious and before it destroys deck of your treadmill you should better replace it.


If you happen to be the owner of a branded treadmill, use facility of replacement belts offered by the company. If you happen to replace your belt within warranty period, the company would offer
you a free tread belt.


You should also keep on using belt lubricant. Treadmill belt lubricants could be very effective in minimizing normal wear and tear in your treadmill. If you want to keep your treadmill deck safe
you must not give up using lubricants for belts. Constant use of lubricants for belt would increase life of deck and belt. But these belt lubricants should be strictly taken as per the
recommendation of treadmill producers. As, all lubricants don’t go well with all types of belts.


One point of caution, avoid more than required lubrication of tread belt. By excess lubrication you may end up damaging motor of your treadmill and once this vital part gets disturbed your
treadmill would never work properly unless you replace the motor.


So, all folks who do exercise on treadmill should be extremely careful with the care and handling of treadmill parts and treadmill accessories.

Five Easy Steps to FREE Adwords Profits Today

 Free Deals  Comments Off on Five Easy Steps to FREE Adwords Profits Today
Apr 092021
 

Adwords is one of those things that is awesomely powerful when it’s well implemented, but then when it isn’t it’s a bit like having a hole in your pocket for all your money to fall out of. You can be in profit TODAY FOR FREE, with these five steps! If you find this useful, check out my site for other high income business opportunities.[link]

1-Go to eBay. No, honestly. If you don’t have an ebay account it’s very easy to sign up for one. Visit eBay, and do a search for “Adwords credit.” You will find people selling vouchers to give you lots of Adwords credit for free. They will charge you for the voucher, but it’s like 99c or something. Find the best deal you can, and buy it. Now they will send you a code, which you need to input into your NEW Adwords account. Why did I say new? I was just getting to that…….

2-Go to Google and open an Adwords account. Don’t worry it’s quick and painless-don’t forget to input your code for your free credit too. Once you’re all signed up you should have a nice new account with some nice free credit on there. Please note-the vouchers for free credit that I have come across require a new Adwords account. There may be other kinds, but I have only seen those ones. I’m not too sure on Google’s official stance on holding more than one Adwords account, but I know of hundreds of people that have more than one, whether rightly or wrongly.

3- Find something to promote, then set yourself up as an affiliate for it. This used to be the tricky part.-not so any more. We are going to be using things sold through Clickbank. As a general rule of thumb, “physical” items (TV’s, stereos, whatever) have a lower conversion rate AND lower commission percentage. That’s why I stick to the informational stuff sold at Clickbank. Visit Clickbank.com and sign up for an account. Again it’s simple easy and free. Clickbank itself can be quite tough to find products in when you first look, so it might be an idea to look at CBmall.com as they have a very useful search facility for all the same Clickbank products. What we are essentially looking for is something with a reasonable price, high commission, and a decent amount of people promoting it already. Some people prefer to target things that not many others are promoting, but in my view if others are promoting it it must be converting clicks at a decent ratio. Once you find something, make a note of your affiliate id for that particular item.

4-Create your first Adwords campaign. This is the only part of this that resembles hard work-choosing the keywords. It’s worth using a free web based too like the one found at seobook.com, purely for the savings in money you will get through using this instead of trial and error. The trick is to choose something that gets a decent amount of searches each month, but is not hugely priced. As a general guide, the longer the keyword or phrase, the more focussed it will be. For example, someone who searches for “32” JVC LCD TV with home delivery” is much more likely to purchase than someone who searches for “Big tv.” The former will get a lot less searches also, so by using longer search terms we are weeding out people that are less “targeted,” and thus keeping our costs down, as we pay for each click on each ad, whether it turns into a sale or not. The trick with keywords is to get hundreds and hundreds of cheap, less competitive keyword phrases, instead of one big one that costs a fortune for each click. For example, “Home surveys” is a very expensive keyword to use, and is not very focussed, but we could instead choose “home surveys that pay monthly,” and some other variations-these would pull in much more focussed clicks, and more likely for cheaper too. The keyword research can seem like a lot of work, but once you find something profitable, it’s pretty much automated.

5- Keep records. Keep records of all the different keywords you are using, how much each click is costing you, how much you are making commission-wise from each 100 clicks etc. You need to do this to work out what your profit is-the bottom line is a very important one with Adwords, and it pays to pay attention to it. It’s all well and good selling 10 items for $50 every day, but all those clicks may be costing you $501 every day. It’s very easy to lost track of expense with Adwords, so be sure to keep careful records.

As I said before, Adwords can be hugely profitable when coupled with the right products, if you do it right.
