Casual Articles - A Primer on Life Insurance for Mothers
So, it is that time. You are a working designer who has built a solid portfolio. You are as experienced generating concepts as you are comfortable sending them to print. You have carefully weighed your options and are finally ready to begin working for yourself. Congratulations! Now what do you do?Assuming you are equipped to handle the administrative functions of trekking out on your own (which is another article in itself), the next step is to begin building a client base. However, if you want to be successful in this highly competitive profession, you must not only build a client base, but you must build a solid client base. To help you on your way, I have complied five tips for building and improving your client base that I have found useful in my own work: Form Partnerships with Other Vendors.When I was first getting started, my company was able to secure a contract with four major print centers which referred all of their clients who needed graphic design and typesetting work to us. In turn, we would complete the

IS Permission Email Marketing In Trouble?With the rising concern of Spam Filters/Blockers, Blacklisting, Bounce Backs and CAN-SPAM Act laws, email is sadly becoming a VERY unrealible vehicle to deliver your marketing messages to your customers, Therefore, resulting in "Time Wasted" and "Loss Of Profits".IS there a solution to this never ending concern for Permission Email Marketers?You bet there is.There called... "RSS Autoresponders".You read right, RSS autoresponders.They've now taken the newest technology (RSS - Rich Site Summary or Real Simple Syndication) that hit the net and turned it into a permission email marketers dream come true.And... the cool thing about RSS autoresponders is they work much like a traditional email autoresponders, just with a few different features and benefits.Time is something I value dearly, as I'm sure you do as well, especially when you work so hard on a email to your subscribers, I would think you would want to make sure it reaches them.So... for the rest of this art
"A $90,000 whole life policy with an annual premium of $500. Is that okay?"
Knowing that few people really understand life insurance, I asked her if she really understood what the agent was talking about.
"I thought I did last night," she replied, "but when I woke up this morning, I wasn't so sure. That's why I'm here. You once told me to never buy life insurance unless I talked to you about it. Well, I'm here. Could we chat about it?"
I was glad that Jan was here instead of Mark. I have learned that it is much easier to talk to women about life insurance than men. Women seem to better understand the financial consequences of their spouses' death, especially if they are mothers. Most men, however, don't want to face life insurance because they think that they will never die. Women know better.
I was no stranger to the murky world of life insurance. Throughout my 20 years as a CPA, I'd often locked horns with insurance agents and financial planners who wanted to sell garbage life insurance products to my clients. In my role as a CPA, I always believed that it was my job to act as a mother hen and protect my clients from the wolves.

You may think your biggest business assets are your equipment or your inventory. But, you have two assets even more important than these. One of these is your expertise...your brainpower and the specific manner in which you help your clients.And, the other is your list of satisfied, loyal customers, as well as your pool of warm prospects with whom you are building a relationship of credibility and trust. Building this list of warm prospects and satisfied customers is your ticket to a steady stream of income.Here are some tips to build your list:1. If you have a website, make sure you have some kind of name capture mechanism. In exchange for people's contact information, offer a subscription to an ezine, a free report, an e-course, a free forum, or some other perk.Make sure you have an effective online system to collect the names of your customers and prospects. It should be able to manage your lead generation and follow-up activities with the ability to create a name capture form for your website, as well as auto responders to automate

Pop-ups – you hate them right? Not only that, but everybody you know hates them too – right? So they don’t work very well and you certainly shouldn’t use them on your website – right? Wrong (ish).Pop-ups work wonderfully well if they’re used in the correct manner to advertise the correct product or service. Before you dismiss them out of hand, it’s worth taking a few moments to consider why they are so universally despised. Maybe then you might find an effective way to use them to promote your services.So why, exactly, do you and the rest of the planet dislike pop-ups so much? Probably you haven’t thought about it much until now – but have a look at the list below and see if any of these reasons ring true. They are intrusive. They stop you doing what you’re doing and interrupt your train of thought. They appear at inappropriate times. You feel like you’re being manipulated. They offer you nothing new. You don’t want to see them – you have a pop-up blocker set up but they still get thro

Does A Franchise Meet Your Needs?When you think of becoming a businessperson by making the transition from employee to Franchisee, you don't generally think in terms of emotional fulfillment. However, in reality, the evaluation of emotional factors should play a significant role in making that final decision to join the world of the capitalist, or remain in the realm of employee.Of course, every analysis should include the standard of comparing risk to return. It should include income projections, and cash flows. It should include the analysis of financing avenues, site selection alternatives, and many other objective criteria to lead to a final decision about becoming an entrepreneur. The course of due diligence should be driven by a systematic approach to each of these items.However, in the end, assuming the objective criteria have been ticked off your list in a satisfactory fashion, it should boil down to emotional fulfillment. After all, we all have a right to be happy. That particular statement "we all have a right to be happy" has change

CROSSING THE BRIDGE OF THE DECISIONFor a lot of people, knowing that these two methods are as effective as they are leads to the decision to get started. Once the decision to get started has been made, the only decision left to make is to decide on a topic that will gain the webmaster the best results for his or her time. Once this marketing decision has been made, the webmaster will sit down and get to work creating articles or their newsletter.For other people, deciding on the topic is only the beginning of the agony in the process.DO YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO WRITE YOUR OWN MATERIALS?I have heard the arguments many times before... "I am not a writer. I cannot do that. It is not an option for me."My brother used to tell me that he could not be a writer... That was many years ago when I first started my own online business.I always told him what I had always told everyone else. I told him that if he can have a conversation with another human being, then he could write. I told him that he should write as he speak
I began by asking Jan a question that zooms to the heart of the matter. "Tell me Jan, why are you buying life insurance? What do you hope to accomplish?"
She answered, "To protect me and the children in case Mark dies."
That quickly established the fact that Jan knew about the key issue: that life insurance has but one purpose: protection in case disaster strikes.
Then I asked her another question. "Just suppose that you knew for sure that Mark was going to die tomorrow. How much life insurance would you buy on his life ---$90,000 or $450,000 --- assuming the premiums were identical?"
She looked at me as if I was crazy. "I'd buy the $450,000 policy. Who wouldn't?"
I then gave Jan a quick education about life insurance, explaining that there are only two kinds of life insurance, term and cash value. The problem is knowing which one of them is the better buy.
Term insurance is pure insurance ( protection) coverage. If you pay the premium and die , the insurance company will pay the face value of the policy to your beneficiary. It is available to age 95 and can be purchased yearly, or on a guaranteed level premium basis for 5,10,15, or 20 years. The product is uncomplicated and very inexpensive. The premiums, however, do increase each time the policy is renewed since the insured has grown older.
Cash value life insurance (sold as whole life, endowment, straight life, permanent life, universal, a
