================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
Survey sites that pay cash can earn you good money by simply
filling in surveys at home. But not every survey company is a
good one. You need to know how to spot the scams if you are
actually going get your hard earned profits.
Avoid the scam survey site or they will rake in your cash
instead of you. On the other hand, if you ignore everything you
could easily pass up a legitimate paid survey site just because
you think that they all a scam.
1) Do Your Research
Go onto the internet and look at some of the survey sites and
read the FAQ sections. Check how you will be paid and how
frequently. Check how many surveys you will be doing each week.
Visit some of the online business sites such as
best-internet-incomes.com where you will find lots of free
information about surveys and other ideas.
2) Get recommendations
Ask other people that you know who have done this before. Once
you start talking to friends, colleagues and relations, you will
be surprised how many people are already doing surveys.
3) Check out the various survey forums
These forums are frequented by lots of experienced survey
takers who have seen the various scams and tricks of survey
taking. On the good side they can provide encouragement and
helpful tips for the beginner.
4) Don't pay for anything
You are selling your views and opinions in the form of survey
results. There are plenty of buyers and you shouldn't have to
pay for anything. Paid survey scams can come in a variety of
disguises and many try to take money upfront.
5) Be wary of outrageous promises
Always sound so good, but how do you know if they are genuine?
The answer is that you don't, so take these with a pinch of
salt. The same is true when you see a screen shot of someone's
earnings. These can all be fabricated. Guarantees are not really
worth a thing either just read the disclaimers.
6) Try Contacting the company
Ring the number for the company of send an email asking to talk
to someone on the phone. Any responsible firm will be only too
happy to talk to you and to answer any questions that you may
have.
7) Test the site links
Scam sites will tend to have non-working out-of-date links, no
customer service, no real products and no help section that you
can use.
8) Be prepared for Losses
There are plenty of sharks around and sooner or later one will
take a bite at you. Recognise the signs and get out quick,
taking a loss if you have to. Make sure that you warn others by
going onto the relevant forums.
9) Spread yourself around
You don't have to just settle on one or two paid survey sites.
The more survey sites that you join, the more cash you can earn.
The agencies will give out surveys based upon your profile,
spread your profile as wide as you can.
Many paid survey sites are nothing more than traps to capture
e-mail addresses using the online survey registration pages.
Legitimate online surveys value their safety and security and
they will respect your privacy. They would not giveaway any
personal or other important information that you supply.
Avoid the scams and paid surveys are a great way of earning
extra cash.

The Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of Joint Ventures
What is a Joint Venture?
When two entities enter into an equal partnership, this is
a joint venture. The essential defining factors of this
union are equal risk and equal reward. That means that each
party will divide the costs evenly, and will also share the
profits. The parties may enter into a legally binding
agreement that covers the responsibilities and expectations
of each. Later, we will discuss the different forms a joint
venture can take. First, we will get a more complete
understanding of a joint venture.
When is the right time to partner?
You will have to take a good honest look at your company.
Consider the timeline of your success. Where did you begin?
Where are you now? Where do you see your company in 5
years? In 10? After grasping that perspective, explore the
key components needed to get you to your short term goals,
and then your long term goals. Finally, if what is needed
could be supported by partnering with a company who does or
has what you need, then now may be the time to form a joint
venture.
Why a Joint Venture?
Entering into a joint venture has some known benefits. The
first and maybe most appealing of them is the concept of
spreading the liabilities between the two parties. Most
parties are willing to put in their share of equity,
feeling assured that the other party is equally invested.
As the saying goes, people follow their money. Because of
this, entering into a joint venture is a more secure form
of partnership, as both have shared the risk. Both parties'
reputations and profitability depend upon their doing their
part to succeed.
Where do I find the right company to align with?
You'll have to ask yourself what parts of the country or
internet you'd like to reach. Or if part of your company's
vision is to become international, then a joint venture may
be required. Many US companies must form a joint venture
with an international one in order to do business in that
country. The US company must partner with the foreign one
in order to be legal.
Who should I JV with?
At times, choosing the right entity to join with can seem
overwhelming. After all, you have a company to run. If you
have your own research and development team, they can help
find the company whose partnership will help your company
develop into its next level of success. However, consider
that there are joint ventures brokers who can do this job
for you. After collecting information of your company's
vision, they can help you find the best match for you
particular goals.
How do I form a Joint Venture?
A joint venture will most commonly take the form of a
corporation, a limited liability company, or a limited
liability partnership. Many things should be considered
when choosing which is right for you. Each of these have
different tax implications, and it is recommended to
consult a tax professional is deciphering the best fit for
both parties.

================== ARTICLE START ============ ======
About a year ago I watched an excellent tutorial about putting
together a yahoo store. I really wanted to step into the
E-commerce marketplace and start selling some goods online. I
decided to go with Yahoo because they have a very good
reputation and take a lot of the headache of research away from
the store building process. For example, buying a shopping
cart, programming that cart and then trying to figure out most
of their complexities is not an issue with the yahoo store front
system. The cart is built in and you do not have to buy one nor
spend an additional monthly expense. I like simple and this was
a huge head start.
The biggest answer about the yahoo system came to me when I was
talking to Tech support one day. The key to building a
E-commerce store at yahoo is knowing that there are two ways of
doing it. This was not made very clear or perhaps my denseness
did not pick it up right away. You can build a yahoo store
using the templates in the yahoo system and have a straight
forward store system. You can also build the store and then go
back and use Yahoo site builder to build a regular website with
a store feature. The store feature then becomes the backend
management system for your website and it allows you to manage
your inventory. So what does this mean? Well I wanted to put a
lot of content on my site as well as sell products. By having a
huge content system, I build up authority in the eyes of Google.
So I built a site that had a big article section, a directions
section as well as a linking section and all the other goodies
you want. I wanted the ability to have some multimedia and do
some testing and experimenting with some unique content that you
cannot do with a straight up storefront.
So here is what I did. I set up my Yahoo store first. I wrote
out all the sections and then the items that went into each
section and categorized them. I uploaded all my product
pictures and text into the storefront. I did not deviate from
the standard template nor did I customize the look of my store
since it will not be seen by the customer. I basically just
programmed all the product codes. Then I fired up Site Builder
and built the site. I took the time to make the homepage look
great and link all the pages in the ways that I want them to
link. I added my content pages and made sure the site was
tagged and optimized for my key words. Then when I was finished
I went back to the yahoo store editor and copied the "order
button" html code for each product and inserted it into its
appropriate page. This order button is how the site is
connected to the store. Now the customer can order the products
you carry and still have the benefit of a website that has lots
of contents and a good FAQ section.
You don't have to use site builder to build your site. If you
like Frontpage or Dream weaver those programs work well too.
The key is just insert the html code from the products into your
site. This is really where the light came on for me.

Value and Honor Individual Preferences to Build a More Profitable Business Model
Think about something you buy all of the time. Imagine how
you would change that offering if you had complete control
over what was delivered. The result would look a lot
different, wouldn't it? Your customers feel the same way,
as do their customers, and so on.
Let's expand on the idea of individualizing what you offer.
This is an important subject, and one where you have many
pleasant and unpleasant surprises ahead of you. To begin
with, you probably don't know what choices each potential
customer wants.
Market research results will often tell you which
percentage of the market favors various options. Better
market research may even segment the market, and tell you
preferences by segment.
Be wary though of the answers because both approaches can
be very misleading for identifying the right new benefit
choices to add.
Let's look at the information a different way. Segment your
customers to find those where you should earn a higher
profit margin than any of your competitors in serving the
total account. Then, consider one-by-one how you could add
valuable benefits to each of these customers.
The best way to do this is to spend time observing how they
and their customers (and so forth on to the final user)
engage and respond to your products and services. Then
follow up on your observations by discussing what you
learned with those you observed and asking them about what
else is important to that customer which you have not yet
observed. Your expressed sensitivity to their problems will
help them dredge up deeply buried resentments and problems
that they have repressed because they assume you will do
nothing to help them.
Why start with those where you can earn a higher profit
margin than competitors?
First, because you will be more eager and interested in
finding new benefits for them.
Second, you are more likely to be willing to create
customer-specific solutions for them (which all of your
potential customers may also need).
Third, the potential rewards for your company from adding
these benefits are large. As such, your successful
experiments will add more resources that you may need to
change to a better business model.
After you have done all you can do with this set of
customers, then look at the customers (one-by-one again)
where your total account profit margin will be similar to
the most effective competitor in supplying or helping that
account. Follow the same process, except to discuss and
offer to add improvements that you have identified from
your first experiences.
Having examined these two groups, you then need to begin
thinking about how each of these benefits can be customized
to reflect what individual customers need. Rather than
giving each new benefit to all customers (whether they need
or value the benefit, or not), how can you change your
business model to provide just the right mix of new
benefits that the customer wants and needs? Notice that in
many cases this may include doing less than you do now in
some areas for certain customers.
Consider Dell Computer. Each corporate account can have a
separate on-line profile that tells Dell what
configurations of hardware and software the company wants.
The profile for each customer is different, and is based on
interactions with the customer.
When a person at a customer account orders a piece of
equipment (whether a server or a personal computer), that
equipment will come preloaded with just the capabilities
and software that are needed to work best for that company
without any further activity by the Information Technology
staff. This compatibility across all the equipment allows
all the tasks to run faster and more reliably for their
intended purposes in a given application.
How can your business model go from providing consistent
potential benefits to all customers to tailoring those
benefits specifically to individual customers and sell at
today's prices? The odds are pretty good that you can,
because many people don't want expensive-to-provide aspects
of your current offerings.
At the same time, others would be willing to pay a premium
for the same aspects. The cost of getting and responding to
the right information for what to provide should be a lot
less than the cost of providing the wrong combinations of
aspects for almost every customer. Many contract
manufacturers and outsourced service suppliers have the
skill and experience to help you put processes in place to
fulfill these individual needs, if you find the challenge
insuperable.

8 Steps To Submitting A Successful Grant Proposal

8 Steps To Submitting A Successful Grant Proposal
Contrary to what you might have seen on those late night TV
commercials - grants are NOT that easy to come by. The
first step is finding a grant that you qualify for - but
the second part is the killer and where most grant seekers
fail - completing the application process!
If your grant proposal is not complete and accurate
according to the grantor's specific guidelines - you won't
make it past the first qualifying round!
Here are a few tips for writing your grant proposal:
1. You may understand your business or concept inside out -
but the person reading your proposal probably doesn't.
Explain your idea clearly and in as much detail as the form
will allow. Have at least two other people OUTSIDE of your
organization read the proposal and then ask them questions
about your concept. If they cannot explain what you are
trying to do - chances are the grants committee won't
either. And they won't fund what they can't comprehend.
2. The proposal must flow smoothly from beginning to end.
If it doesn't, the proposal won't make sense. To avoid this
situation, start with an outline that clearly follows each
step of your plan...then expand each point as needed to
fully explain your business plan. Then - give the finished
proposal to someone outside your field to read the proposal
before you submit it. This will help you to identify parts
that needed to be further clarified.
3. If you want your proposal to be taken seriously - show
the funding committee that YOU take it seriously by
carefully proofing it for spelling, typing and grammatical
errors. Take time to have at least two other people
proofread your proposal before you submit it - and then
read it again yourself to make sure!
4. Don't estimate costs and funding needs for the proposal
rather than taking the time to research and evaluate the
actual expenses. In a grant proposal, guesses just won't
make it. If a grant reviewer suspects that your financial
sheet is not accurate - you just lost the grant. Find out
exactly what kind of computer system you are going to need
and exactly what the cost will be, then spell it out in the
proposal exactly!
5. Make sure that your goals and objectives are clearly
laid out and specific. If you say "I want this grant so
that I can help the community" you won't get nearly the
credibility as you would by saying "This grant will allow
us to buy 3 new computers, and create 2 part-time paid
staff positions in an area where jobs for high school
students and mothers with limited working hours are very
difficult to find."
6. Give yourself enough time! Don't throw the proposal
together in order to meet the deadline.... it shows. A good
proposal package takes time to assemble and research
properly. If you really want the money - then spend the
time to put it together correctly, without shortcuts, and
without being rushed.
7. Every grant has rules and guidelines that must be
followed EXACTLY! If you want your proposal to be
considered, read and re-read the grantor's guidelines. If
it says that the grant MUST be submitted via the online
form - don't even bother to ask if you can fax it in.
Unlike employment applications where it sometimes pays to
be "original", grant committees have rules in place for a
specific reason, and they expect them to be followed to the
letter. To do otherwise may mean that your application will
be disqualified before it ever gets read.
8. Make sure that your proposal is what the funder actually
finds! Don't assume that just because there is a
significant amount of money available, that they will fund
anything submitted by anyone - the unfortunate fact is
that funders are usually VERY specific in what they are
looking for (and sometimes a bit odd, but that's their
choice!) and will rarely deviate from their "category". You
may have the very best green widget in the world - but if
the grant is only for the makers of PURPLE WIDGETS - you
won't get the grant!
Grants are hard to find and VERY competitive - so put
together the very best proposal possible and prove that you
are the one that should get the money!
