1000000 USD Buys US Citizenship Easily and Legally – 206-766-9288
NT GROUP, INC
Tish Johnson, Designated Broker. TCB Properties (a wholly owned subsidiary of NT Group, Inc.)

NTGroup Inc. (A commercial real estate holding company owned by Patricia ‘Tish’ Johnson of TCBProperties.com) will be presenting a series of real estate investment and jobs creation opportunities here to allow foreign investors (Japanese and Chinese specifically) to invest in distressed real estate and/or certain zones the US and create American jobs and tax base under a US Immigration department program designed to improve the economy and allow immigration of wealthy investors.

The first one is the purchase of a piece of riverfront property in Washington State, USA which is currently valued at $500,000, the balance of the $1,000,000.00 will be used to build out the cluster housing zoned units either as a retirement community, or as a new type of business incubator where the jobs are created for the location (internet telecommuting jobs): $100,000 will be invested for the immediate hiring of four of the ten required American jobs to be created: administration for the real estate acquisition and holding company (2 jobs) and professional bloggers and marketers (2 jobs). An alliance is being formed with an existing US Company (UpLog.org) whereby the new Japanese investor- Funded company created for immigration will be hiring and providing blogging production personnel (English speaking Americans will be telecommuting by Internet).

Since upLog.org will be able to create eventually 1300+ jobs in the US for professional local news bloggers (Americans), several investments in qualifying real estate and/or investment zones will be facilitated over the next few years, secured by real estate investment at reduced prices due to the current recession.

This newly formed investment company, funded with $1,000,000.00 from the Japanese investors, will buy a 10% stake in the corporation to be formed as UpLog.org, INC, and the company will have a $100,000.00 advertising credit with this 18 months old operating US company: which will use the money to expand US operations, and do marketing for the new companies holdings. UpLog.org management plans eventually to go public as an advertising company that creates it’s own online media, with blogger in each city: with the newly formed Japanese partners acting as a holding company for the real estate assets, and creating housing and jobs for American citizens doing the actual blogging.

UpLog.org founder Israel Rothman is an author, and has published this article on Yahoo Voices about the topic:

Featured Blogger Sharon Koziel Corona California Community Business News

Sharon is our featured blogger this week. We have rolled out a new program to fix up some of our original bloggers’ blogs: Sharon has been with us since the beginning of uplog.org in 2010, so we upgraded, fixed up, and featured her blog this week for only $121.00 in recognition of our gratitude for being with us all this time.

This list for a successful automated website that grows and has search engine optimization keeps changing: here is the third annual edition:

1. Is it built in self hosted WordPress CMS (content management system)? WordPress is open source (free) and is the worlds most elaborate and still user friendly, most supported and supportable, most widely used content management system: it allows the website to grow and be easily optimized so that all you must do is post something new at least weekly and you will achieve rankings and traffic (related: 7-best-2012-websites-to-post-content-on-how-and-why)
2. Does it offer easy, readily available, easy to see in first frame ways to connect, bookmark, subscribe, Facebook, LinkedIn, podcast, Google+1 (in other words is it social media enabled)? (There is a plethora of plugins and tweaks that can be used by the novice in WordPress to accomplish this connectivity and popularity)
3. Can you edit it, change it at will? Can you easily pull up a free video tutorial to do so whenever you get stuck or anything changes? (If it is WordPress, the answer is yes)
4. When you cant do a complicated edit or feature yourself, is there a readily available developer and contractor base to help inexpensively? (Again, if it is WordPress, the answer is yes)
5. Do you control the domain as the registrant? (If not you do not own the real estate you are creating!)
6. Does it get bigger every week? (The Internet grows, so, if your website does not, your rankings are temporary or non-sustainable)
7. Are you posting correctly? (related: 5 Minute Seo Blog Posting Guide)
8. Is it beautiful? Websites evolve – if it is over two or three years old it is definitely outdated by today’s standards.
9. Is there a clear call to action in the first frames? (You will not get leads unless you ask for them)
10. It is too busy? People today are in a hurry, they make a decision to stay or bounce in a split second, so if there is too much on the page, they bounce.
11. Can you track the results? With Google analytic being free, there is no excuse not to know everything about your visitors, nor is there any reason to pay for that service.
12. Is your phone number and click-able email link at the top and bottom and sidebar of every page?
13. Is your RSS feed formatted for podcast in any format on any device?? (Again, with Feedburner being all free from Google, this is not an issue with WordPress)
14. Is there unique in all the world original content on your site? (IE regurgitated redundancy is spam, and it will not get you to the top of anything)
15. Is there any non-commercial content anywhere? Strait sales sites with no personality do not work.
16. Can I join, comment, or otherwise be sucked into interacting with you and becoming a lead? If not, why bother?!

Original article is here: 2012 Checklist for Automated Website (Blog) Audit

Shameless plug: do you want all this setup for you with training to take it over and support, instant Google rankings and 1 year hosting for $599.00?!

How about a community blog like the one above thrown in for free, connected to all of US?!

The essential tools to be a social media manager working from home are fairly basic. To get started, all you need is a computer, a phone (especially for local contacts) and basic skills in social media.

This is the wonderful thing about any home business – your start up costs are minimal.

Some might say you also need a website or a blog, but those tools can come later as you grow your business.

You see, when providing an “in demand” service such as social media management for companies, the online tools these businesses need developed – are the same tools you use every day. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and others.

As you expand your social media marketing business, you may want also want to offer services to help your clients drive traffic through Google Places and mobile marketing.

My point is, all of these online resources are already available to you and anyone who wants to unleash the power of social media for any company. This is the true power of social media management for those who want to tap into this business opportunity.

Again – if you want to build traffic for your own services, then a blog such as here on Uplog is a great way to do that. But to start – all you need to do is to present what you have to offer to companies who are in desperate need of your services. >>> read more from socialmediajobs.uplog.org

Distressed real estate .org – Washington State Real Estate Investment website already ranks for this Google search: 2012 Housing Market in Washington State and a host of other combinations of these key words: Distressed Real Estate – 509-969-6054 cash investors, realtors, handymen, Washington housing market, distressed real estate, foreclosures, buy house for cash, Washington State, even though the website is just days old.

Once people reach the site, they are immediately able to notice and affinity with the investors (something not that easy to do for such a dry subject) based on a common love of animals. This combination of search traffic and then immediate affinity for lead capture is very effective, and most people do not think of it: the http://petbook.uplog.org/ website with tags: Bible Lessons from our Pets – by a pet lover and real estate investor David Smith, ads pet tags and biblical tags to the desired searches, and also promotes his book on the subject, creating an instant rapport with the visitors!

The content is all real:

And the SEO effects and lead capture can be amazing, original article is here: Affinity Marketing 101 | How to cross link a niche and GEO targeted website for lead capture.

When you consider that the whole custom setup and training, blog and all for first year cost is only $599 including virtual server hosting, it is not expensive at all to achieve excellent rankings, lots of traffic, and great lead capture, while completely managing your brand presence and reputation, and even selling books, at the same time!

The timing right now in April of 2012 is very good for raising money in this way: with interest rates at an all time artificial low, many conventional investors are looking at non-conventional alternatives in order to create a return.  Since these wealthy individuals and companies often live off that investment income return, there is a huge incentive for them to examine new alternatives.

Internet start-ups  require less capital than was required in the prior-to-Internet  past in order to execute such a fundraising effort: with electronic commerce, social networks, and opt-in email marketing, there are many new and inexpensive ways to approach investors legally and ethically under Regulation D: Rule 506 is the rule best suited for venture capital offerings in my opinion: (IE: the little guys should stick with the mainstream investments: prudent man rule)

Regulation D is considered a “safe harbor” for the private offering exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Companies using the Rule 506 exemption can raise an unlimited amount of money. A company can be assured it is within the Section 4(2) exemption by satisfying the following standards:

• The company cannot use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities;
• The company may sell its securities to an unlimited number of “accredited investors” and up to 35 other purchases. Unlike Rule 505, all non-accredited investors, either alone or with a purchaser representative, must be sophisticated—that is, they must have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to make them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment;
• Companies must decide what information to give to accredited investors, so long as it does not violate the anti-fraud prohibitions of the federal securities laws. But companies must give non-accredited investors disclosure documents that are generally the same as those used in registered offerings. If a company provides information to accredited investors, it must make this information available to non-accredited investors as well;
• The company must be available to answer questions by prospective purchasers;
• Financial statement requirements are the same as for Rule 505; and
• Purchasers receive “restricted” securities, meaning that the securities cannot be sold for at least a year without registering them.

While companies using the Rule 506 exemption do not have to register their securities and usually do not have to file reports with the SEC, they must file what is known as a “Form D” after they first sell their securities. Form D is a brief notice that includes the names and addresses of the company’s owners and stock promoters, but contains little other information about the company.

In February 2008, the SEC adopted amendments to Form D, requiring that electronic filing of Form D be phased in during the period September 15, 2008 to March 16, 2009. Although as amended, the electronic Form D requires much of the same information as the paper Form D, the amended Form D requires disclosure of the date of first sale in the offering. Previously, the closing date of an offering was used as the first date of sale. The Office of Small Business Policy has posted information on its web page about the filing requirement for the new Form D…..>>more here>>

Rule 506 of Regulation D is widely used by venture capitalists and entrepreneurs in the early stages of forming a company: before the company has 10 stockholders (referred to as “the coffee table rule) no forms must be filed to begin such a start up business (sometimes referred to as the organizational period)

An entrepreneur can create a document (you can download all the current documents for filling a Reg. D in any state in template format and fill in the blanks for a small fee at ppmfast.com and a number of other for-profit websites); and simply use that document to begin raising money in several ways:

• “FFR”  Money – family friends and relatives my be interested in helping you get started in the earliest stages before you are far enough along to raise money elsewhere
• Industry-related – many businesses will be good customers, and/or good suppliers when they are funded: other businesses who will benefit in this way may be willing to invest, or offer contingent commitments for trade credit and other considerations based on the success of the offering; these commitments enhance the start-up ability to raise serious investment capital by leveraging the potential returns.
• Government incentives – especially in a recession, there are many local, state, and federal programs designed to create jobs and/or attract investment to any area: these include the SBA, BDCs, SBCs.  These are good sources of early stage capital, and incentives that reduce labor, rent, and tax costs for an early stage business that can create jobs and tax base.  Again, such arrangements, even as contingent commitments, can greatly enhance potential profits and make an early stage investment in a private offering more attractive.
• Private investors: “Angles” – wealthy individuals often invest in this type of offering with a criteria that the upside is so large when a private company goes public, so that they can afford to be wrong nine times out of ten and still see a huge return from the one that hits – the key here is to be able to invest early, and to be able to afford to diversify risk (invest in at least ten of them)
• Professional venture capitalists – I do not recommend that you pursue investment from professionals in this industry unless and until  you have exhausted the other alternatives: you can find many of these sources in The Corporate Finance Sourcebook 2011

What has changed with the advent of the Internet since when I was involved heavily in doing this for many clients in the 1980s:  is that this type of offering is much less less expensive, sometimes not even requiring any printing or stamps (which were an expensive part of this then).  With email and social networks to use, the entrepreneurs’ investment may literally be only his time and minor organizational costs – the early stage money can even be raised prior to incorporation under an “agreement to incorporate” made from the PPM templates.  It is truly a “brave new world” for entrepreneurs, and their backers.  These changes have spurred so much activity, that some have even proposed more regulation to restrict past abusers from using this type of offering: see:

http://www.friedfrank.com/siteFiles/Publications/Final-5-31-2011-TOC%20Memo-Regulation%20D,%20Rule%20506%20Disqualification%20Proposal.pdf

My company here: UpLog.org, was capitalized and is still not incorporated, funded with under $20,000 thus.  We will eventually incorporate, file Form D, and raise at least another 100,000 to expand and eventually go public.  I am currently preparing another offering document under Rule 506 of Regulation D  for a private investor who plans to go after the huge and coming market for human electronics: IE:  integration of technology with the human mind and body – I like that one because the window will not close any time soon, because the client-entrepreneur is so far ahead of the marketplace that I will have time to do my work, and it seems obvious and inevitable that a huge market will eventually exist; and already does exist with aging baby-boomers.  Let me know of you want to see the PPM (private placement memorandum) when it is done!

Example 1: This clean looking, beautiful modification of Elegant Themes’ e-Business template:

It was originally coded by my son for our business at Socialmediasystems.com, which did $779,000+ in nine months before the real estate crash in 2007. Now we have created this model for Tish Johnson Commercial Real Estate Broker in Seattle Washington (who is still our client from back then), with a formatted version of the entire commercial MLS for the west coast, for which she has purchased the rights to display at her website; We will also be selling a version of this for Commercial Realtors on the west coast in other cities (we only have one client per city-industry) for $799.00 per year, in addition to the $50 per month and $100 setup required by the MLS: this includes the Seattle Local News Blog – by Commercial Real Estate Broker to go with it, to connect it to “the roar of all of US” and create traffic and rankings for local organic search:

Example 2 Boise Community News and Real Estate Guide

This is our standard type of local blog (DIY $179 per year) – after one year, we were not impressed with how some of our bloggers were doing on their own – they were not embracing our unique methodology – so we offered to fix up their existing blog for the $121 difference as if they had bought our hands-on setup ($300 for one month launch, posting, rankings, exposure to our audience): the client had never built out the pages, never optimized anything, so we just deleted the pages all together and left it a straight simple blog, since it is obvious that is all the client is willing to use it as. This is not ideal; the client is not optimizing anything, no key words, putting posts in too many categories so everything is the same, making many mistakes that will undermine effectiveness and stickiness, a good example of what not to do: we fixed it up as much as we could in the time allotted. This is exactly why some people do not get results: It is a shame because there is a lot of good content.

Example 3 Denver Community News Blog by local Broker Angel Realty

This is much more our standard setup and methodology – another redo for a client who picked this theme (I would not – too plain) where we redid it because the client was failing on her own here – that is why we usually sell custom setups now, the clients often do badly on their own, but this one will work better for her now and rank for some searches immediately:

Notes about what to do and not do: I do not understand why people do not get these obvious things:

• Think like your visitors.
• Who do you want to reach?
• How will they find you?
• Will they find what they are expecting? (relevance)
• Can they find their way around?
• Can they find your phone number without clicking, even without ever going to the website?
• Did you take the time to properly optimize?
• Is the information useful and easy to navigate enough for them to want to bookmark, subscribe, come back, look around????
• Do you really think that the page will rank in search and that Google will not know that it is worthless and nobody sticks around?
• Does it really matter, if nobody can find it in the first place?!

By creating and maintaining a San Antonio Community News Blog sponsored by Joyner and Joyner Criminal Defense and Ticket Lawyers in San Antonio, we are able to feed their website at http://sanantonioticketlaw.com/ by creating rankings in Google organic search for ‘San Antonio Ticket Lawyers‘ without breaking any search engine rules by creating an actual useful real resource at San Antonio Community News Joyner and Joyner.

Because this same valuable resource at http://sanantonio.uplog.org/ is also connected to “the roar of all of US” and it is is a real and growing resource for residents of and visitors to San Antonia, Texas, and surrounding areas because we also maintain sites to link to them at Boerne.uplog.org (15 miles away) and hillcountry.uplog.org (within the market area); and because we can link from and also sell advertising to non-competitive businesses on all of our local community news blogs, where we display demographics and maintain links, local news and events and free classifieds for the residents: were are able to create real organic search rankings for very competitive local searches organically for this client, for only $300 for three months, considerably less than it would cost to buy the corresponding PPC from Google.

By enhancing the value and relevancy of Google search results, we are earning this honor and doing a wonderful job for the clients. It is that simple, or complicated, depending upon how you look at it: this is how you market by making a real contribution with real content, which is the only sustainable organic solution.

1 San Antonio Ticket Lawyer in Texas | How to Fight Tickets and Build Traffic to a Website

As the use of Java, Ajax and other open-source browser-powered and third-party applications and social networks like Facebook, Google+ and Linkedin.com has increased, so have the old proprietary content managements systems that were used to develop these advanced functions on the server side declined, and the use of enterprise-level WordPress has increased. This is because of the fact that, on the cloud, things move very quickly, and they must be inexpensive and universally compatible. Being dependent on an outdated skill set and a proprietary content management system like Cold Fusion, or Microsoft ASP, is expensive, less flexible, and much more expensive; therefore there has been a corresponding decline in the percentages as web servers, except for sites that need the highest possible security, and even that can be achieved with open-source Drupal (which is hotter than a firecracker right now with top developers in high demand at $150/hour).

Now that some group and networking functions can be supplied by an integration with Facebook, Google+, and Linkedin, as well as other third party reservation systems, MLS stream providers, etc..the marketing arm of putting the content out there can be done least expensively and most effectively with WordPress, with the more secure functions existing elsewhere: we even use the integrated Facebook group as a source of content to feed WordPress, and our efforts posting relevant data about the community on a well-connected and fully integrated Boerne.uplog.org, and HillCountnry.uplog.org to feed traffic to the site, and create rankings, can also be used for content for the Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/HillCountryNetwork/.

If all this sounds a little complicated and elaborate, and like a lot of trouble, consider that now:

• The clients can edit and change this website at will themselves,
• Without paying separately – hosting ongoing is only $120 per year
• The rankings in organic search are stellar and immediate
• The Facebook group is a long term strategy than is hard to beat for feeding local business
• The UpLog.org blogs eventually becomes the most elaborate Google map of the town, and it feeds Googles’ maps, and connects the clients in a netowrk (see ‘hill country social network’ Google search hillcountry.UpLog.org)
• From a marketing point of view, this is a total solution: with the blogs feeding the business and the social media profiles, the social media groups feeding the blog, and all are feeding Google quality local content, and the client reservations third party service, without paying per click, per lead, per action: an uplog.org exclusive city blog is only $179 per year DIY, $200 for custom setup if so desired, or $1,000 per year with us doing everything, including posting and managing the groups.
• There is a built-in revenue model: the 30% paid to the owner for advertising sales to non-competing businesses can be used as a credit for advertising, or cash for other marketing – some of us actually make a full time living with a blog!

Downtown Palm Springs News-The Place To Be in 2012

The City Of Palm Springs Is Taking Off!

We are moving forward with revitalization plans for downtown and the area in general is seeing a huge uptick in business in general. Both the Uptown Design District and the Downtown Area are alive experiencing growth, increased sales and plans for a whole new Downtown experience under way.

Be a part of a building demolition!

Back in November, the citizens of Palm Springs passed the Measure J sales tax (with no net increase in sales taxes) to finance infrastructure work throughout the city for the next 25 years and to also finance the tear-down of Desert Fashion Plaza with a later redevelopment of that entire section of downtown.

It all kicks off January 26th!

Demo of the former BofA building will begin with a public ceremony on January 26th at the site. Stay tuned for details or call us at 760-322-7822 for information. The city is moving along very fast with plans for the sale of financing bonds with that will complete in April. At that time, the city will take deed to the public properties, streets, and the parking garage.

The former bank lot will soon be a public plaza right away as a signal to the beginning of this very exciting project. And immediate steps increasing public parking to help all businesses in the area. By mid-2013, the entire old mall will be gone and the new neighborhood will begin to rise out of the rubble.

Look for courtyards of shops, a new movie complex, restaurants and public areas. Features of this pedestrian friendly area will include outdoor areas with shade structures and natural convection cooling for year round comfort.

In other news

The Coachella Valley Association reported increases in hotel bookings for events this year (at 137,000 room nights already) and they are talking to Westjet, Alaska Airlines and Virgin Air on promoting the valley as a tourist and sporting destination. Look for special fares from all over Canada and the US.

The Coachella Valley is the #1 Golf destination in North America! What? Yes, we are tops when it comes to golf and a look outside at the weather, a balmy 75 degrees, will tell you why our 125 golf courses do so well. Check out the video below.

The city is working on several fronts to capitalize on the many things happening now:

• The needs of downtown and uptown merchants in working with the city will provide for the success of business and comfort of tourists. The Merchants Association and the city work very closely to this end with a common goal of giving business the tools to grow and visitors a fun and rewarding experience.
• Promoting business and tourist access as we move into a new era with the Downtown redevelopment projects. Their lists include everything from new newspaper racks to new bike racks, additional crosswalks, lighting, billboard advertising, and radio ads and around the area.
• The plan is to promote the entire Downtown and Uptown area at a time when we have the attention of so many around the country and the world with the work happening to revitalize Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon Drive from end to end. The demo of BofA will be the catalyst to set that in motion.

If you would like to stay connected and informed, attending this meeting once a month and joining as a business or as an interested citizen is a great way to stay in the know. And being a member is not required…… meetings are open to the public.

What is Foreign Currency Exchange (FX or Forex)?

Foreign exchange, or currency exchange, is a strange and somewhat confusing place at first where nothing physical is traded. Where the market is run electronically, within a series of banks, and trading is conducted 24 hours a day from Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon. Forex is the world’s largest market dwarfing all markets combined many times over. The latest figures show $3.8 trillion with more being traded every day. That’s growth at a rapid pace!

Until the 1990’s Forex was only traded by multi-millionaires and banks. With the advances in technology and the internet, now anyone with a few hundred dollars can get in on the action.

How simple is the basic premise?

Price either goes up or down. It doesn’t rest or move sideways often. All you have to do is guess right. Here’s how it works:

• You buy or sell one currency while simultaneously selling or buying the other currency in the pairing at the same time.
• If the market price of the base currency moves in the direction you chose, you accumulate money until you close the position.
• If the price of the base currency moves in the opposite direction you chose, you lose money until you close the position.
• You Open in a buy or sell position. If you open a buy trade, you are expecting a rise in the exchange rate between two currencies. If the rate then goes up you make profit for every little bit it moves. You then close the trade and the profit is in your account. If you have made a bad decision and the rate goes down you will lose money for every little move it goes against you.
• If you think the rate will go down you reverse all of that and open sell position trades.

That’s it! Hopefully you are right 80% of the time and on the 20% of the time you are wrong your losses do not wipe out your earnings. Like most things, it is easier said than done. However knowledge can increase your chance of success in most things in life. In the next few lessons we will cover some of the tools and strategies found in the Dan Gaub Academy that will help increase your Forex knowledge.

How Forex Works

When you go to the airport and trade your U.S. Dollars in for the Euro there is an exchange rate. When you come home again and trade in Euros for U.S. Dollars that rate has changed. The rate change was either in your favor for profit or against you for a loss. Forex works like this but is far more complex.

In Forex you buy one currency and simultaneously sell the other currency (or exchange one for the other). When you put your trade into play (often referred to as “put in a trade”, “make a trade” or “enter a trade”), you either gain profits or incur losses as exchange rates change. Sometimes the exchange rate goes in your favor for a while and then can turn and run against you and vice versa. The great thing about Forex it is that you can decide when you want to bank profits or cut your losses. You then look for the proper conditions and trade again. Here’s an illustration:

Visualize this scene to illustrate how Forex works

You and a friend are sitting on the sidewalk. You both have 100 dollars in 1 dollar bills in your pocket (that represents your live account in Forex). You say that you think more cars will pass you going left to right. Your friend says more cars will go from right to left. You both decide that every car that passes will cost a dollar. You shake hands and start (that represents entering into a trade). As cars pass by you get lucky, and the first 5 cars came from the left. Your friend hands you $1 as each car passes. Oops, 2 cars come from the right. Now you are only up $3. You sense there may be a line of cars coming from the right and you get worried. You say, “I’m done” and quit (close your trade) with a small profit.

On the other hand, if you were the one down $3 and you sensed more cars would come from the right, you could quit and cut your losses. You may also think that even though you may lose more money in the short term, you could stay in the game. Perhaps in a few minutes the cars will come from the left and you will get it all back and more! Of course there is no guarantee this will happen. But hey, you have been on this sidewalk before and have seen it all, so you will take the calculated risk (this represents Forex analysis and experience). You are the best Forex sidewalk trader alive!

An important point to remember, is that either you or your friend could have made money. In Forex, you can make money if the exchange rate rises (cars coming from the left), or if the exchange rate falls (cars coming from the right). Conversely, you can lose money if the opposite happens. It all depends on what position you take when you place the trade.

Let’s get a little more technical

You will use a trading station to watch the different currency pair exchange rates change. In this station you will enter into trades. You will assign the value of each pip (a pip is the smallest measurable movement of the exchange rate). You will close trades there too.

To make sound decisions on when to enter and exit trades you will look at your custom charts. These are real time moving graphs that show exchange rate changes in an easy to follow format. The graphics on the charts are comprised of “candlesticks” which you will get to know very well. You can add a mind numbing number of indicators that will help you make a trade decision, And you will learn very well which ones Dan believes in and how to use these charts and indicators.

Ever see a race horse racing form?

Forex is a lot like horse racing only with way better odds. A racing form has 20 or more statistics to analyze.

All of this past information is scrutinized to predict future performance. HOWEVER, PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. The same holds true with Forex. There are a lot of tools at your disposal to help you make sound trade decisions.

The good news is that you are only predicting if price action will rise or fall and not trying to guess 1 winning horse out of 12. HOWEVER, LOSSES ARE STILL POSSIBLE WHEN TRADING FOREX.

Forex trading can be fun, fast-paced and done right can be profitable. Done wrong it can eat your money.

— It might seem kind of complicated, at first. Risk and reward, leverage, charts and Fibonacci — where do you start? With good training. Dan’s team has taken his concepts and built a systematic approach to understanding Forex. Even if you have tried Forex before and did not get it, this system is designed to help you understand the concepts. Dan’s approach involves all of the tools listed below to help you learn to trade.

Here is your list of towns:

How much is a post worth? Well: if it is like this one, which ranks for several chosen combinations of key words with a telephone number on top of a competitive, lucrative Google search, a GREAT DEAL:

If an out of town visitor (we have many in Boerne with all the dude ranches and other tourist attractions) searches for ‘ ASE auto repair Boerne’, or any other combination of the chosen key words, they find a post I did three days ago:

How much is that worth? To the brand new Boerneautomotive.com, who hired a friend with zero SEO expertise to build their brand new website (LOL) it is worth the difference between negative cash flow and a profit!

At the risk of turning this into a rant: it would be really nice and intelligent for their wayward friend of a webmaster to call me back and or put the desired tags on-site so it would be their website that ranks instead of my blog post.

It would be even more intelligent to change their static website ( they paid way more than we charge for) into a WordPress site with the power to create and maintain its own rankings because of the value of the content!

Sheesh! These guys are pretty good at fixing cars, they fixed mine: but they are incredibly stupid when it comes to their choices in webmasters, websites, and online marketing!

Trust me, there are many more examples like this in your city and state! Consider being one of us, and/or at least let us help your business!

Amarillo Texas Community Blog 79109 – by Mitchell Properties Real …

Out of 1,470,000 results, it does not matter where you search from: New York: same-same. If you click the link, you find all of us staring back at you , like it has been there forever: “So what?” you ask?

If it is not obvious what advantage that is, consider that it is also on the first page for the 2,140,000 document search: Amarillo Texas buy houses 79109, even when you search from New York; and a host of other combinations of words. Lets set aside for a moment the value added to a Real estate Professionals’ listing presentation being the proprietor, or sponsor of such a resource online: Set aside the value of the content specific traffic generated by an ever increasing number of local search terms that site will rank for as it grows, and the stickiness of a community blog, rather than a traditional ‘I am a Realtor too’ site: and consider the hidden value of this strategy: the ever increasing value of the resource itself: as the internet grows, so does the resource. Slowly, or quickly, but inevitably and eventually more and more community members participate in free classifieds for individuals sponsored by local businesses, the traffic increases… this ‘open source’ style model replaces the old media model as the media for that town…and by the time anybody notices this phenomena, they could never catch up; just as they cannot catch up with the roar of us and our ability to create this phenomena right now: you cannot fake this. It must be real, and that has nothing to do with money: it has to do with vision, and participation, and influence: social media marketing.

Over the years, since 2001, I have fought an uphill battle trying to convince conventional advertisers on every level that they should give away free classifieds instead of buying them; blog instead of advertise, become their own lead generator instead of buying from one…Indeed, many have scratched their heads at such a strategy, thinking me a fool.

Over and over again, I have heard the objections:

• I am a Real Estate agent, I do not have time to blog..
• I don’t have time to post..
• Most of my business comes from referrals…

I have challenged them:

• If you had to pay for the ads, would you care about the copy?!
• Does your geek webmaster know your market?!
• Do you really think you can get on top of Google by doing the same thing as a million others (IE: Best Practices)??
• What sets you apart form the others?

In the last 11 years, I have sold ten million dollars of products and services that I invented from a website; made and lost and re-made and re-lost millions of dollars without being able to spend any of it. In the last 18 months, I have been doing it again here right here in front of you; and saying so ahead of time.

Now my question to you, the reader, is: when will you start listening?

This is how you use linkedicom to do polls – cooel huh!
