Energy Tax Deductions - Time Is Running Out

. Saturday, January 30, 2010

By Robert Holdsworth

Many businesses have implemented energy efficiency measures in their facilities over the past several years to help decrease operating expenses and aid the local and global environment. What a lot of these companies do not know is that sizeable federal tax deductions are available to them and also that time may be running out.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) provides generous, immediate tax deductions to businesses for making energy efficiency improvements to their buildings. The federal tax incentives center mainly on efficiency improvements to lighting, HVAC and building envelopes and can be as large as $1.80 per square foot.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 extended Section 179D and EPAct 2005 so the act will not expire until December 31, 2013. However, that does not mean that time may not be running out for some companies.

For businesses that implemented energy efficiency projects in 2006 it is probable they filed their tax returns before April 15, 2007. If they were unaware of the deductions at that time, they are now at risk of losing those tax deductions forever since the IRS only allows a three year period to amend tax returns.

That means if you have not yet amended your 2006 tax return you have only a few months left to do so!

As an electrical contractor working with commercial and industrial customers you certainly have been thinking about ways to increase your sales and likely how to better utilize your current book of business to that end. You have also most likely been approached by your current customers asking what they can do to reduce their energy costs.

Have you thought about a strategic partnership with an experienced engineering firm that specializes solely in turnkey, energy cost reduction projects on a national level? One that can bring whole facility energy solutions to the table for you and your customers? A company that can provide a fast payback and increase cash flow for your customer?

Bringing in such a company will grow your business as you will be the one who is sub-contracted by the engineering firm to provide the installation services under their management and direction. You can use this approach over and over again with all of your customers and doing so will not only increase your revenues exponentially, it will also transform your customers' impression of you from simply another vendor to that of a valued consultant.

Going Public? Here Are The Keys To Your Success

By James Scott

Going public, the ultimate in the evolution of companies who are seeking access to powerful global finance options for rapid expansion, deepening corporate roots and gaining industry prominence as a true powerhouse and player. The process of going public is technical yet pretty straight forward: business plan, Private Placement Memorandum, Direct Public Offering, Financial Audit, S-1 filing, SEC comments phase, SEC approval, FINRA approval, symbol and then you're public.

Never price shop for consultants that take companies public and be weary of consultants that will start off a conversation by answering questions geared toward price and giving you quotes without understanding your business first; without the proper information a realistic quote can't be given anyway.

When you've found a consultant that you're comfortable with you'll need to get a solid understanding of their full range of services. Of course you'll want a consulting firm that will handle all of the above for your company but you'll also need to consider the post IPO services. What happens after you're public? The reality is, selling off stock in a rapid fashion to raise capital is the last thing you want to do, instead you need to approach your consultant and market maker on how to cross collateralize your securities to raise equity loan capital.

This can be done easily and quickly if you've brought on the right group of advisers to expand your company to the global public. When considering the idea of taking your company public it's important to note that there are many ways to raise capital after you are public without selling off chunks of your company (consult your financial advisers for more information).

Next, when deciding on a consultant they should also have solid investor relationships to assist your company in raising the capital necessary to go public. A true turn-key consultant will have a database of investors seasoned in the process of pre-IPO finance and will often times jump at the chance of investing in the PPM and DPO phase at a discount for companies that are in the process of going public as this almost guarantees that the investor will double or triple their initial investment when the company achieves public status.

Out of the hundreds of consulting firms that offer the 'take your company public' service, there are only a dozen or so that actually offer the complete full range of services needed to successfully accomplish public status in a way that maintains investor confidence and corporate longevity. Do your research and find a firm that is well seasoned in the turbulent waters of this industry.

Anatomy of an S-1

. Friday, January 29, 2010
0 comments

By James Scott

Your company is growing. Now you are ready to start raising serious capital and you here the public fund raising markets. Here are the basics of your S-1 filing. Know the lingo before you hire a consultant. Because companies must adhere strictly to SEC regulations, initial prospectuses are similar in their organization. Each S-1 generally consists of the following sections:

Front Section -- An S-1 contains a small amount of information not available in a prospectus. In this first section, you can quickly find the issuing company's phone number and get a vague sense of the future offering price.

Cover/Inside Cover -- The prospectus cover outlines the general terms of the offering, including names of the underwriters, number of shares offered, and pricing information. The actual share price is absent from a prospectus until the day of the offering.

Prospectus Summary -- Here you will find a brief synopsis of the company's business and history, a modest discussion of the change in capitalization to occur as a result of the offering, and a useful summary of financial information covering the last five years, if available. If you are screening prospectuses for investment ideas, start here.

Risk Factors -- After you have read a few prospectuses, you will become familiar with the "usual suspects" in this section, including "Possible Volatility of Stock," "Limited History of operations," "Dilution," and "Dependence on Key Personnel." Nevertheless, this section is a worthwhile read to be sure that you understand the challenges facing the company's management. The discussion of competition can be sobering, but it can also provide a means to compare the value of the issuer against the financial performance and market valuation of its competitors.

Taking your company public should be an exciting and revitalizing time. Don't take unnecessary risks, hire a consulting firm who can streamline this process and deliver the results you'll need for success!

Ronky The Friendly Dinosaur

By LJ James

Ronky The Monster Of Lake Ronkonkoma New York



It was a Sunday in Summer of 2009 went I first saw Ronky with my own eyes. I had heard stories of Ronky here and there, They had come to me in Whispers really.The History of Ronky has been a well kept secret for Hundreds maybe Thousands of years. I had spent weeks watching this lake in Lake Ronkonkoma on Long Island in New York State. This day I was driving around going past one of the many Parks and Beaches around the lake. While I was going North on Lake Shore Road I saw something in the water out of the corner of my eye, but after weeks of watching this lake I thought it was just someone out on another blow up raft and didn't really think much of it !

As I was passing the Dinning Hall "Windows on the Lake" there is an opening where Guests can get a good look at the lake. I looked over and I saw what I had though to be a raft a few seconds before was the creature. I though to myself this could just be another hoax! After years of searches and hunts leading to nothing but dead ends I was not going to get my hopes up to fast. I slowed down and watched as the Creature swam around the lake enjoying itself! I was a little scared but at the same time I could not stop myself from smiling thinking this was really it!

I drove around the lake following along with "Ronky" at some point I pulled into a parking lot and walked onto one of the beaches. I slowly got my Camera out fearing as soon as I went to take the picture the creature would disappear. I snapped a shot, checked it in the review mode of the Camera and I could not believe I had captured a perfect shot of the Creature that no one could dispute the authenticity of ! When I looked back at the Lake Ronky was gone.

Over the next few days I carefully started asking the locals in the area if they had ever seen something weird in the Lake? It seems that to everyone in Lake Ronkonkoma Ronky is well known. He is not a myth or urban legend here. He is just another Member of the Village! I have been told there are two Differences between Nessie in Scotland's Loch ness and Ronky in New York's Lake Ronkonkoma. One Ronky is real and Two Ronky is protected by the Locals and his name is not defiled for tourist money.

There are many stories of Ronky that go back Hundreds of years. The one I found most interesting was a story that happened about 15 years ago. It seems there was an expedition sent to look into and map the depths and some underwater streams under Lake Ronkonkoma. This expedition never happened. The Official Story given was the expedition ran out of Money and was going to come back when they got more funds. I was told by an old time resident that wishes her Identity to remain a secret that the real story is a group called the "Keepers of the Lake" told the expiation in no uncertain terms it would be in their best interested for them to leave and not come back!!!

The people of Lake Ronkonkoma have kept this Monster Ronky loved and Protected for many years! I respect and sympathize with them,but I have spent my adult life and most of my families fortune searching for a creature like Ronky.This is my job and I must share this with the world. I have received many threats not to print this story! I have posted it here to go out to these newsgroups if I do not reset the settings at least once a week. If you are reading this there is a good chance something has happen to me. Please do not let what I have spent my life hunting for go unheard of ! Ronky is there in that Lake!

Easily Find Angel Investors, Private Investors, Hard Money Lenders and Venture Capital Firms

By James Scott

How To Find All The Angel Investors And Venture Capital Financing You'll Ever Need! The once definitive line that would separate hard money and private/angel financing has merged into a hybrid of sorts in the past few years. As the economy has taken a dive and structured private lending firms have felt the crunch we are finding many of these lending solutions closing its doors and re-opening as privately owned and managed funding options with an interest in both lending and seed investment.

Approval decisions that were once made by a group are not being made by an individual or duo with an eye toward optimal capitalization with both short term and long term agendas. As investors are, now more than ever, trying to get as much bang out of their buck, entrepreneurs are in the precarious position of accepting funding from virtually any and every enterprise that is making an offering. That said, it is more important now than ever to swing open your mind to the possibilities of mass exposure of your opportunity to the investment world.

The best way to do this is to simply put your business in constant and automated 'introduction' mode so that you can be found by the moneymen. The best way to do this is to heavily investigate the venture capital industry for executives who have created offshoot programs that have deviated their process from the traditional path of simply approving or declining a transaction.

There are many VC professionals who want to capitalize off of the projects that their firm cannot accept due to underwriting criteria and industrial genre specialization so they are starting these small but well managed financial source databases where members can place their transaction directly in front of thousands upon thousands of angel investors, private investors, hard money lenders, venture capital firms, private equity firms and other alternative finance solutions.

These websites are now the hottest thing in the capital markets and will continue to grow because of the high success rate of individual executives and entrepreneurs who are able to find multiple streams of financing options with the click of a button.

Learn How You Can Increase Website Traffic Now!

. Thursday, January 28, 2010
0 comments

By Mike Gates

A good website can sometimes make the difference between the success or failure of a business. This is especially true if your business is run completely online. Building up a steady stream of visitors to your website is key to this success. There are a number of things that you can be doing, both free and for varying amounts of money, to drive more customers to your site and increase website traffic now!

Content is key

The most important thing when creating content is writing something that people want to read. Free content is going to gain the most attention, and it should be completely original, engaging and meaningful. Have your work proofread before publication, as your audience will be turned off by writing that lacks professionalism.

Readers who benefit in some way from the material you provide will be more interested in your website. Updating content regularly will encourage your visitors to return to your site often. For those without the time or resources to constantly write fresh content, there is the option of outsourcing work to paid article writers. Search engines are capable of detecting if material is copied from other sites, and your site ranking will suffer for this.

SEO

Keywords are your key to success. Ask people what words they would use to search for a website like yours, and insert these keywords into the titles, meta tags and content of your websites. This will improve your search engine ranking. The keywords shouldn't seem obvious, but should seem to flow naturally in the context of the article. Don't use them too often, because the search engine bots will translate this as spam.

Building up backlinks

Swapping links with other sites that are similar to yours can help improve your search engine ranking. These links are called backlinks. Make sure that you have good, quality content before asking to swap links, and choose other websites that maintain the same level of quality.

Advertise

If you have some money to spend on advertising, Pay Per Click ads are a great way of steering traffic towards a website. However, there are also plenty of ways to generate traffic without spending a dime.

Write articles that relate back to your site or your business and post these on blogs and article sites. The links you use in the article will direct people back to your own website. This is a good method as it widens the net in terms of finding new visitors and helps to ensure that you attract your target audience.

Online chat rooms and discussion boards are useful tools as it keeps people coming back to the website to chat, as well as fostering a sense of community. Posting on forums sites can also be useful, if you place web links in your signature. You can get people interested by posting useful information, answering and asking relevant questions.

You needn't just stick with internet based advertising. A great way to get people to visit your site is to hand out business cards to people who you meet, or leave them at cafes and on community signboards. Newspapers and magazines, business brochures and the Yellow Pages are good places to advertise as well. If you own a car, you can use this as a medium for advertising also. Word of mouth will always be the best form of advertising, so remember to tell people about your website.

Website Design What To Do First

By Larry Edwards

In the matter of website design what to do first, a person who is contemplating starting a website or some sort of blog and who thinks that he or she might like to take a crack at designing it needs to keep a few things in mind. First of all, anyone interested in designing a website should sit down and come up with a plan or a concept for what it should look like.

This means, of course, that no small amount of research is going to need to be done beforehand. What is meant by research is the fact that a person will need to correctly identify the market or niche that the website is going to be targeted at. Eventually designing a site that gives the viewer or reader the impression that it is about bicycles when it is really about motorcycles is just one example of intelligent website design.

Along with deciding or determining the kind of niche that the website will be targeted at should be a realization that the site must, above all else, be usable and logical to any visitor or reader who happens to land there. This can create a bit of tension between the desire to make the website look space-age or really relevant, graphics wise, and the need to also be functional and easy to maneuver around.

Those who fail to realize this simple requirement (usability) tend to have websites designed that require multiple plug-ins or that end up taking a really long time to load on a user's computer because they are extremely heavy with graphics that cause images to load very slowly. Studies show that most viewers of a website will quickly move on if they have any sort of issue viewing that site.

This is why it is important to do the research, identify the market or niche, and then -- first of all -- design the site so that it is extremely usable. Most experts recommend that websites should try to make use of black text on white backgrounds if possible. If a background is desired, designers should also try to use a plain-color background or go with something that is very subtle.

This is why it will be vital to make sure that the text itself is in a printable color, meaning that while white text on a black background looks good, if it doesn't print in some other color other than white they're going to be many user complaints or visits to the website will quickly drop off.

In the end, the matters of website design what to do first come down to research and then usability. Conduct your research to make sure that you are coming up with a thoughtful and relevant website and then make that website extremely easy to use when visitors arrive there.

Numerous companies are now employing search engine optimizers in order to advertise their website and reach out to a wider market.

Many SEO consultants extend useful and proven services for web owners.

A Simple Search Engine Optimisation Tip

By David Anttony

There are two types of SEO, onsite and offsite. Onsite involves optimizing your website to make it search engine friendly. By changing your local site and adding special SEO components you can attract better results, and sometimes great results from search engines like Google.

You can get great results with just onsite optimization on its own but the effects tend to be unstable and not effective continuing. To get top results you will need to do a lot off offsite optimisation as well.

Top onsite SEO tip: change the page title

Believe it or not the changing the page title is one of the most important onsite optimization techniques you can do. The page title is what appears at the top of a browser on the left hand side. Visitors to your internet site will not ordinarily take much notice of your page title because it is not shown on your page. However, search engines take a lot of notice of the page title.

If you have never seen what a <title?</title? tag looks like within an HTML page then simple open up the page source and take a look at the top of the page. To view the page souce, the simplest way is to right click on the page and select view source.

You will find the page title inside the <title?</title? tags usually within the first few lines of the HTML code. This is an instance of an HTML title tag : <title?This is my page title</title?.

Search engines take a lot of notice of the page title because it is like the title of a book, it tells you what the book is about. If the title is clear and brief it tells search engines exactly what the page is about then you can rank high for some of your chosen keywords.

The trick is not to dilute your page title with extra non-keywords. Do not add words like in and the, and other filler words. The closer you can get to the pure keywords the better.

For example, avoid doing this: <title?Earth Worms in the Middle East</title? when your keyword is earth worms. Alternatively simply use: <title?Earth Worms</title?.

If you have multiple keywords only use two or 3 maximum or again the focus is diluted. If you are using multiple keywords then do it like this: <title?Earth worms | Middle East</title? - never use filler words like 'in' and 'the'.

Online Ways To Make Money With Facebook

. Tuesday, January 26, 2010
0 comments

By Henrico Ellis

I find that one of the strangest problems with networking on Facebook is that... most people who are advertising their own opportunities like to press their business ventures all over you. This tends to be very over whelming, and essentially isn't a producttve marketing technique as it will just turn visitors off. The effect way to find prospects is to add friends in the home-based business industry. It's no secret that there are plenty of poor home-based business opportunities out there, and a lot of members of social media sites are promoting them. Members of such programs may be looking for a new opportunity... and that's where you come in.

No offense to any marketers out there, but many of these people tend to be in the MLM business. The attrition rate in MLM right now is not good... most newcomers to MLM quit the company they joined within their first 90 days. Join home-based business groups, MLM groups, internet marketing groups, and so on, and add members to your friends list. This is not the time to send your new friend a link to your website or tell them about your business opportunity. Simply send a message such as "Hi John, I see you're a member of 'so and so' group. I'm looking to network with like-minded people... I hope you accept me as a friend". If they decide to ask you about your business, then go ahead and discuss it... but let them come to you about it as opposed to the other way around.

Your Facebook profile should attribute who you are and what your opportunity is (with a link or two to your websites). Posting in group topics with useful home-business information, or posting your blog feed to your page can benefit to establish you as a honest home-business owner with some awesome knowledge to share... which may intrigue people to know more about what it is you do. Having the whole profile dedicated to business can be a turn-off to potential visitors how ever, so personalize it with pictures and information about yourself and show vistors who you really are.


Honest ways toMake Money



Using Facebook or other social media will be extremely more profitable for you if you're with a top-tier internet marketing program where any lead could generate a probable commission in the thousands of dollars. You're further limited to I think 5000 friends or so on Facebook, so leads are not endless. It's 100% free more ever, so whoever you're with, make a page and start prospecting.

If you know how to earn money with Facebook it is possible to do so with a few effort. Just think in a few days or weeks you could be earning money by using Facebook at the same time as you are keeping in contact with friends and family.

By Mark Wilson

With the internet a place where you can find anything from fishing rods to breakfast bowls there is little doubt at the pace this phenomenon is growing. Anyone who uses the net on a frequent basis understands this already. Of course trying to grow a business online is a hot topic these days and many are chasing this dream of selling their products to the masses via the internet.

To be successful online you will always need one thing, customers that come to your website on a regular basis.

The hard part is finding a way to get these visitors. Patience, hard work and a whole lot of time are the main factors in getting your site found through SEO by the search engine users.

With so many websites competing today to attract web-users to their domain, it becomes all the more challenging to make them come to your website first and avail your services or products. In a medium as fast and advanced as the internet, you have to really work hard to stand out in the crowd and take the cake

It is practically impossible to be unaware of the word "search engine" for someone who uses the internet. Every internet user has gone to a search engine at some point of time or the other. Whenever you are looking for something, say for instance, customized golf bags.

If you need someone to either fix your pipes or deliver pizza, they are quite straightforward to use, you just need to enter in whatever you want to find into a search engine like Bing for example. Depending on the keyword you entered into the search engine, you will see a big list of sites displaying information on your topic of choice.

9 times out of ten you will notice that you tend to click on the websites that are higher in position. This is what 99% of users will do. For sites that are on the lower half of the search results, these sites will rarely be visited by search engine users.

Therefore it is quite obvious that any owner of websites will wish that their sites will rank high.

Search engine optimisation will help you achieve this goal. To keep the search engines interested in your site you will need to grasp keywords. For people to find your site it is important to put the keyword you think they are searching for on your website.

So needless to say that is crucial to make sure you have your keyword selection. But before you select any old related word for your site you will need to understand the ins and outs of the discipline that is keyword research.

Top Things To Do To Get On The First Page of Search Engines

By Mariah Miller

Search engine optimization is one of the most important things any online business needs to consider if you ever want to get alot of business.

There are alot of things you can do to make sure your website is optimized for search engines.

Research of your Keywords

I believe that keyword research is the first and maybe the most important step in making your website profitable. You want to find keywords in your niche that are searched for at least 2000 times per month and that don't have alot of competition.

Place your best keyword in the title, meta tags, and the content of each page of your website, along with your other keywords.

Pinging

Pingler.com is a site I have been using for awhile to ping my website after it is up and running. Its great for helping your website get indexed by the search engines.

Social Bookmarking

Sharing your favorite websites with others is a great way to build more traffic to your business. There are no hundreds of social bookmarking sites available.

Map Listings Online

Submitting your business to online map listings is another way to boost your rankings with the search engines. Google, Yahoo, and Bing are the top three ones to use.

Blog, ezine and forum posting.

The most important point to remember when you are posting to forum, blogs, etc, is that you try to find ones that are in the same niche as your website. From there it is really easy. Sign up for the forums, etc, and post with a link to your website in your signature. This is a great way to develop backlinks to your webiste, and increase traffic.

Accounts with Twitter and Facebook

Another way to get more traffic to your website is to get accounts with both Facebook and Twitter, and then find people in the same niche as you.

Online classified ad submission

Adding your business to the online classifed advertisement listings is a great way to build more backlinks to your website, and find people who are looking for your services.

PPC Advertising

Pay per click advertising is pretty much a classy way of saying that you want to pay for leads to your business. Yahoo, Google, and Bing both offer great listings for this. You don't pay any money either unless you are getting clicks to your website, and you can also choose how much you are willing to pay for each click so you don't end up paying an arm and a leg.

Directory Submission

Submitting your website to drectories online is yet another great way to build backlinks to your website. And, another plus is that there are hundreds of online directories.

Backlinking

Backlinking is one of the most important parts of getting your website ranked higher by the search engines.

Best Way To Promote Online: Doctor Video Marketing

By Phillip Guye

Though there are markets, shops and hypermarkets to minister to the wants of all classes of folks today, the greatest market is available to those who have enterprises that may be able to sell their ware online through Doctor Video marketing. There are people out there who can sell nearly anything. Whether you're looking for a bride or a boarding place, you will be capable of finding it all on the net.

About 10 years back, it would have been awfully hard to persuade people to order their products online. There wasn't any trust then because the web was such a new thing. Now, this trend has changed. More and more people are making the decision to get everything they need from the internet and make payments with their PayPal accounts or their cards. So if you'd like to do any sort of marketing for your business or product, the net option is the best

Since I'm so strongly recommending the online option for video selling, it is important for me to look at the issue from more than one angle. There are those who have bought videos from net stores and found to their dismay that the quality of the videos they acquired weren't what they thought it'd be. Since they have recently paid the money, they find it a totally aggravating problem to return the acquisition and get a repayment of their money. To these folk I'd say that it's critical for them to do a bit of homework before buying a video on the web. It is important that they buy their tool for Doctor video marketing from a firm that has been in the web business for some time. If this isn't done, it is extremely possible that they can be cheated and ripped off.

The neat thing about online Doctor video marketing is the incontrovertible fact that you can do all of it from your house without ever moving from your PC chair. You could just go thru the net and read for the various options that are available. If you're looking for a recording of a specific doctor or expert, say a cardiologist, ophthalmologist, neurologist, gynecologist, orthodontist, orthopedic, anesthetist, etc, it's not extremely tough to locate the online store that may sell it to you today. When you are sure that the video that you are looking for is available, you could ask the online store to send it to your address. You might even think of sending the videos as gifts to friends of yours to keep them updated on health problems.

Doctor video marketing may also be thought of as a good option when you're trying to publicize for certain goods or services. Lawyers can also publicize their services to potential customers by making videos of their work. The most important factor when purchasing these videos is to find a pro videographer who can ensure that right settings are used to improve video quality.

Easily Find Investors and Financing For Your Business, Guaranteed!

By James Scott

Easily Find And Secure: Angel Investors, Private Investors, Institutional Investors And More! Raising capital for a start-up, corporation in expansion mode or a company in virtually any position presents it's challenges and roadblocks. There has been no period in recent history that can simulate the difficulties that current entrepreneurs and executives are having when trying to achieve the procurement of venture capital. The standards have become more stringent and the cross-collateralization of personal and corporate assets as security for loans has virtually become a mandatory prerequisite for any type of funding, equity or loan based.

When initiating the process of raising capital one should take into consideration the use of a combination of funding options such as but not limited to: traditional venture capital, bank institutional, institutional equity investment, hedge fund lenders, private money lending, angel equity and loan investment, a private placement memorandum as the mechanism for raising capital distributed in shares, international equity based funding, the reality of taking your small business public on the OTCBB and many other concepts of capital raising that can be placed into a simultaneous strategy.

It's a common mistake among entrepreneurs and executives to place all of their attention and time into one singular aspect of the above funding concepts. Instead, you should pick a multi pronged approach and go after multiple genres of financing for your business. Some avenues will yield success, some will not but you are more likely to achieve incremental funding successes as oppose to one gargantuan, be all and end all finance victory.

To achieve funding you'll need to be able to contact multiple finance sources to start the ball rolling. Find online membership database sites that are owned and operated by professionals in the venture capital industry.

There is a big difference between a generalized database of possible lenders and a strategic database of success driven finance solutions. Find the most cutting edge, full range database on the web and join them.
