For many individuals, couples, and families, buying a new house isn’t on their list. Many think it’s more expensive and out of their range. A new home could actually be the thing that saves you money.

One the prime examples of where a mortgage is almost always cheaper than rent, is when you live in a large city. Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York City, and Dallas are a few of the major cities where you can buy a house for cheaper than you can rent. In these cities it isn’t uncommon for rent costs to rise to well over $1,000! That’s quite a chunk of change for struggling families.

Though, all hope isn’t lost. If you have a good credit score and the ability to get a cheap loan, then purchasing real estate is the easiest thing in the world. It takes a down payment of about 20% or more, but it’s well worth it in the end. This down payment will automatically take a big chunk out of what you owe, and it truly makes a difference. Your interest rates will also be considerably lower than if you had a lower down payment.

An even better alternative is buying real estate and renting it out. Many more people are purchasing a large home and renting one or two rooms. If you have an $800 mortgage, you can charge each tenant in your home $200 and end up paying significantly less overall each month. This isn’t recommended unless you know your potential tenants, but it’s a much better option than pouring money into rent each month yourself.

One of the best things about your own home is the ability to have pets, children, and family members live with you. Most “rentals” require additional payments for a certain number of people, and outrageous add-ons per pet you own. This can result in much higher rent than you intended, which is why having your own home is ideal.

Cheap real estate is currently abundant, especially if you buy now. When the real estate market is not as strong, you can quickly find properties that are cheap and easy to buy. Even people with less than ideal credit are finding it easy to buy their first home. You can also get a tax credit for your first home purchase, which can make a big dent in your payments if you choose to put it towards that!

Closing Comments

The flexibility and cost of a new home is surprisingly lower in recent years. Now is the time to buy, and you can save quite a bit buying instead of renting each month! Make the change as soon as possible to prevent losing more money.

Pick a subject that you already know about. It is easier to write about a familiar topic than a topic that is new to you. Write quality content on a topic, then promote your products around that topic. Let’s say you have experience with successful relationships. You would write a few pages about relationships. Then find products about relationships to that you can sell.

Create websites to market your affiliate programs. Build a separate website to promote each of your products. Then you will be able to cross-sell your affiliate products throughout your network of sites. If you buy a bulk hosting account, you can host several websites under the same account and save money. Bulk hosting accounts allow you to easily add websites as you need them, without a lot of hassle.

Use free blogs. If you are not ready to build a website to promote your affiliate program, starting a blog may be a good place for you to start.

Once you learn the most important strategies for a successful teleseminar, there is nothing stopping you from reaching your goals. Your experience level is not as important as your level of organization during the teleseminar. Take the information that you know and will be selling to your audience and put it in a coherent and logical outline. This outline will put your information in a format that will allow you to address each point and keep a constant pace for your teleseminar.

Breakdown your outline into sever-able chunks that you can record and make into several unique and valuable products for give away bonuses, or new products to sell. Bundling your video series into a package for resale will help you easily develop products that already have a ready audience. Many of your customers will want to learn as much as possible, so they will buy the video series, even if they attended the teleseminar.

The modern business world is also being revolutionized by the teleseminar, which makes training between divisions and departments simple. Even if your business is not a mega corporation, you can still use the same techniques to train your employees, or have customers pay for the same information.

It does not really matter what you niche is either, because you can always use teleseminars to train your affiliates or your own staff. Let us pretend you have a product that cafe managers can use to help train their serving staff and service personnel. After completing your outline you just record a teleseminar on each category of the training topic. Initiating the teleseminar at the most basic category and building in knowledge and skill as you go through the whole series will help.

After establishing a series of 5 or 6 of such videos, you can compile them into a comprehensive set and sell them to restaurant owners and managers to help use to train their own staff.

For many people, an interesting and varied choice often means a career within the electrical industry. Often (and more correctly) referred to as ‘Electro-Mechanical Engineering’, we’ll simply refer to it as the Electrical Industry for the sake of simplicity here. Equally we’ll focus on those credentials that fit the UK domestic and commercial sector rather than those from around the world. Since there is such a wide list of choices in the electrical industry, we’ll start by looking at the main themes first and then come back to any ‘add-ons’ later.

Essentially, we see two distinct forms of entry into the electrical market. The primary route is the apprenticeship which is considered the more traditional and then we have the second phase for those who are joining at a later stage. There are two sets of people for consideration firstly the ‘Junior Entrants’ and secondly the ‘Mature Entrants’.

Mature Entrants who join the industry later on do so with the aim of working for themselves, usually as a one person business. However, people who join as junior entrants like the fact that they can join a recognised firm to pick up the bulk of their practical and work based skills. Often a young apprentice will be in their first job since leaving school, and will therefore have a host of ancillary skills to learn during their first few years as a working adult.

The distinct types of entry have differing styles of training – NVQ’s are the key factor for all junior entrants. There is a particular requirement to attain the NVQ qualifications as part of the overall program. As a result students often have to find their own work programmes to give them the relevant testing and course work covered by most apprenticeships.

By working independently and without the need for NVQ assessments, many Mature Entrants can concentrate on those areas that provide the biggest profit and offer the largest practical solutions for themselves. Having said that, the mature student does aim to gain the necessary skills to do the job, whilst at the same time reducing their training costs at all times. Whilst this may seem to reduce the overall qualification set, this meets the trade requirements for the areas involved, and thus provides a quicker and more direct commercial route to the market.

In terms of typical earnings, we have two clear routes – those relating to employment and those for self-employment. Whilst we will focus on full time employment, there exists the issue as to whether self-employed people are doing this full time or part time. The aptitude and talent for getting things done can affect the levels of salary as well as any experience or knowledge gained.

Although starting wages for ‘Junior Entrants’ are around 13k p.a. they can rise above 30k p.a. but this does depend on their level of experience. On the other hand experienced self-employed electricians have been known to earn around 70 thousand or more within the UK. Irrespective of this salary level many self-employed people also need to manage extra business costs such as tools, clothes and vans. Self employed people also have to allow for added expenses. Whilst there is lots of available work, a severe skills shortage means electricians are very much in demand. Working 7 days a week is totally achievable for most people if they want it. It should be understood that the 70-100k figures that we see thrown around in newspapers are not easily achieved, and would either require working long hours or having assistants (or both.)

In light of the above, it is often understood that there is wild variance between the working expectations of Junior and Mature Entrants. Most of the work for Junior Entrant electricians will be on a simple 9-5, Monday to Friday basis. The Mature market is however often reliant as to when their client base is available, especially in the domestic sector. And yet, a huge number of self-employed electricians operate during the main part of the working week by focusing on office and small business systems.

Once a career in electrical work has been chosen, a Junior Electrician is often at the mercy of their employer when it comes to learning new skills and expertise. Then again, the mature entrant can even go outside of the electrical field to gas work or plumbing work for example. If they are working mostly in the domestic market, this makes it easier for them to take on larger jobs across a range of disciplines (without having to sub-contract.)

One new, fast growing area – one that invokes a wide array of skills sets and is new to the industry overall – is that of the ‘Green Engineer’. The curiosity of both Junior and Mature electricians to this new industry is well founded especially when considering the power of the UK and the EEC markets in areas of growth and governmental projects.

Becoming a publicly traded company is an exciting and rewarding experience. The following sets forth the method, steps, fees and estimated timetable to go public on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) ‘from scratch’, or through a self-filing and discusses the 1934 Exchange Act responsibilities after a company’s registration statement has gone effective (after the company has become publicly traded):

Prior to filing the registration statement, a company that wishes to go public must first obtain an audit of the Company’s financial statements for the past two fiscal years. For most companies, the financial audit can be completed in about a month and costs typically range between $5,000 and $25,000, depending on the complexity of the company financials.

A public company will also need shareholders. To that end, if additional shareholders are needed, the company going public will need to complete a self-underwritten Regulation D, Rule 506 offering in which the company sells shares of its stock to investors for real consideration. This is not a difficult task, so long as you have a properly prepared private placement memorandum (PPM) and you follow the relatively simple rules of Rule 506. The price per share and number of shares offered can be determined by the Company, but most registered broker-dealers that will eventually submit a Form 211 for an OTC Bulletin Board quotation prefer to have a minimum of 400,000 shares distributed among the investors.

In addition to the minimum number of shareholders requirement, a company must have free-trading shares, called the ‘float’, in order to go public. Upon completion of the private offering and the financial audit for the prior two fiscal years, an S-1 Registration Statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the shares sold in the private placement, thus creating the free trading shares. The completion of the S-1 process with the SEC will make the Company a 1934 Exchange Act reporting company, which is required in order to obtain a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. The SEC will review the S-1 and provide comments within 30 days from the filing date. Comments from the SEC typically relate to the terms of the offering, the company’s business and its financial statements. It usually takes between 2 to 3 months for the SEC to approve a registration statement on Form S-1 and for the S-1 to become effective. However, the actual amount of time will depend on the level of review and number of comments given by the SEC and the corresponding response time by the Company in filing its amendments.

Shortly after filing the S-1 registration statement with the SEC, a market maker must be ‘engaged’ to file a Form 211 application with FINRA for the purposes of obtaining a quotation of its common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board. It is important to note that market makers cannot receive compensation for making a market in a stock, thus typically you must have connections to accomplish this. The timetable for approval of the Form 211 process is approximately 3 weeks to 5 weeks. However, the Form 211 will not be approved until the S-1 is approved by the SEC since the approval of the S-1 provides the “free trading” shares necessary to obtain the OTC Bulletin Board quotation.

The completion of the entire process to become a public company typically takes approximately 3 to 4 months from completion of the private offering and financial audit, however, the actual time could vary based on the factors discussed herein. If done right, with planning, hard work, the proper foresight, and a good firm guiding you through the process, going public is a truly exciting and rewarding experience.
