Low Interest Vs. Cash Back: Credit Card Questions Answered
Ahh, credit cards. All those offers, tons of fine print... what does it all mean? Whether you're applying for your first credit card or are a long-time cardholder investigating alternate options, it's wise to get the facts before moving ahead with a new plan of action. Read on for answers to commonly asked questions.
What's a low interest credit card?
A low interest credit card offers reduced APR (annual percentage rate) for cardholders with an excellent payment history. If you consistently pay your total monthly balance, or if you at least pay the minimum payment due on time, you may be eligible for a low interest credit card. Look into money-saving options with a low interest credit card!
Exactly how low are we talking?
First-time credit card holders may be required to pay anywhere from 17.999%-23.99% interest on your balance per month. If you've maintained good standing with your credit card company for at least a year, you may be able to have your interest lowered to 10.99% or even 8.99%.
Are the offers for 0% APR too good to be true?
0% APR Credit Card Offers are real and legitimate promotions that can save you a ton of cash in the long run. All it takes is a balance transfer from your existing credit card. Depending on the promotional details, you can enjoy exceptionally low rates for as long as a full year. Smart consumers know that offers like these are a great way to start chipping away at that outstanding debt and get back on track toward financial freedom!
What's a cash back credit card?
A cash back credit card affords solid value to cardholders who pay their balance every month. Interest rates are typically the highest, but that's not a concern for a customer who incurs little or no debt. With this type of credit card, you'll earn rebate dollars which arrive in the form of mailed checks. Free money back on purchases you'd be making anyway... now that's a wise move.
How much money can I earn with a cash back card?
For every supermarket, gas station or drugstore purchase, a typical cash back credit card reward is 5%. For most other purchases, 1% is given. To put this in perspective: if you spend $2,000 on merchandise that yields a 5% return, you'll earn $100 cash back.
When can I expect to be paid?
Credit card companies have now put the ownes on their customers to request payouts for cash rebates. So make that call or put in that online request during the time that the card is active, and reap the rewards of a credit card that just keeps on giving. No matter which offer you're considering, read the Terms and Conditions and keep a copy of this information handy. This way, you can take advantage of every opportunity to save money while building your credit. Before you know it, you'll be making informed credit card decisions with confidence!

How To How to Really Make Money on the Internet With an Amazon.com Affiliate Site
You've probably heard before a lot of hype about how much money you can
make with affiliate programs. Maybe you've even set up a site yourself,
only to find that after buying the domain, a few bucks a month in
hosting, software or a web designer to design your site, etc., that the
piddly affiliate fees hardly even covered your cost. Well, here's the
hype-free way to really make money with an Amazon.com affiliate site.
And it'll only take a day to make the site. The secret? Low cost, low
effort.
make with affiliate programs. Maybe you've even set up a site yourself,
only to find that after buying the domain, a few bucks a month in
hosting, software or a web designer to design your site, etc., that the
piddly affiliate fees hardly even covered your cost. Well, here's the
hype-free way to really make money with an Amazon.com affiliate site.
And it'll only take a day to make the site. The secret? Low cost, low
effort.
Here's How:
- If you don't already know it, learn some basic HTML. You have
to do this to keep your costs down and still get what you want. Even if
the site is basically laid out for you, you're going to need to know
how to insert images, create hyperlinks, and do some basic text
formatting. Our HTML Guide offers a free 10-week HTML class and a great collection of beginning HTML tutorials. Get over any anxiety you have about this. Just do it. You'll thank me for it later. - Decide on your topic.
You're going to be doing product reviews and recommendations, so pick a
topic that you enjoy and know something about. If you can't stay
passionate about the topic, that will show, and it also won't hold your
interest. Choose a narrow enough niche to be distinctive, e.g., bands
from your city, left-handed guitarists, music for a certain kind of
dancing, authors of a certain religion, books about arts & crafts,
etc. - Choose your domain name. Make it keyword-rich, not
clever. Think how people will find your site in the search engines.
Here are some ideas (all available, by the way):
Music:
BandsFromTexas.com, BandOutOfBoston.com, SouthpawGuitarists.com,
ClassicPsychedelia.com, Non-Stop-Hip-Hop.com, Merengue-Music.com
Books: Mormon-Authors.com, Arts-and-Crafts-Books.com, Books-by-Stephen-King.com, ClassicBusinessBooks.com
Others: Best-Baby-Toys.com, MomsMags.com, FelliniMovies.com - Register your domain name.
If you're not technically inclined at all, register your domain
wherever you set up your hosting in step 5. Otherwise, you can save a
few bucks by choosing a lower-cost provider. Not a big deal for one or
two sites, but it can be for ten or twenty. I use GoDaddy,
who have great domain management tools and are less than $10 a year.
The least expensive I've found from a reputable source is 1&1, whose price is under $6 a year (last I checked). - Set up your web hosting. This is where most people get burned. For this kind of site, you do not need $10 a month web hosting! Check out Discount-Hosting.com for no-frills hosting with adequate functionality and bandwidth, for around $10 a year! If you want more features, or especially if you're planning to run multiple sites, see GeekHosting.com or Multidomain-Hosting.com.
- Install weblog software.
"Weblog, you say?" Yes. It will give your site all the structure you
need, plus make it easy to quickly post new content. My pick is WordPress, which is open source (i.e., free), easy to install and use, and yet very powerful. Download it
and follow their installation instructions. Turn on notifications to
Weblogs.com and Blo.gs. In WordPress, this is under Options | RSS/RDF
Feeds, Track-Ping-backs. - Make it pretty. Free templates for WordPress are available at Not That Ugly. Choose a style you like and then tweak it to suit your tastes and the theme of your site.
- Set up categories.
Most blog software allows you to create sub-categories to help organize
your entries. This will help visitors narrow in even more specifically
on their interests. For example, BandsFromTexas.com might have one
group of categories for genre — rock, country, blues, etc. — and
another for city of origin — Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, etc. - Sign up as an Amazon Associate. It's simple and free. Just visit Amazon and click on the Join Associates link at the bottom of the page (here's a direct link
for your convenience). Your site should already have at least the basic
setup done, even if you don't have any content there yet. - Create your blog posting bookmarks/links.
There are two links that are going to be essential for you to make this
easy. First is the blog posting link. In your blog software, on the
posting page (see their instructions), at the bottom of the page there
should be a "bookmarklet". Click on the link (and hold the mouse) and
drag it up to your Links toolbar in your browser (assuming Internet
Explorer), or your Favorites menu. This will allow you to blog a
product with one mouse click. - Create your Amazon Build-A-Link bookmark/link.
This will make it easy to build the link with your affiliate ID built
in. Log in to Associates Central, look in the left navigation sidebar,
go to Build-A-Link, and under Static Links, find Individual Items.
Click and drag this onto your Links toolbar or Favorites menu. - Build your first link.
Go to Amazon and find the product you want to review. Scroll down to
Product Details and find the ASIN or ISBN. Double-click on the number
itself to select it, then right-click and choose Copy. Click on your
Amazon Build-A-Link link. Right-click in the search field and choose
Paste. Change the selection from Served Link to You Host. Click Go.
Your selection should show up. Click Get HTML. Choose the kind of link
you want, select the highlighted text and copy it. - Blog your review.
Now click on your blog posting link (Press It! by default in
WordPress). If you're using WordPress, you should now see two pieces of
link code in your posting form, the first one ending with "Associates
Build-A-Link >< /a >". Delete through that point. The second
part is a link to the product with your Amazon Associate ID built in.
Now just write your product review, choose the appropriate categories
for it, and hit Publish. - Build out your site. Before you
promote your site, you want to have some substantial content there.
Write several product reviews. Have at least 2-3 in each category
you've created. You may also want to make a categories for articles,
news, and commentary about your topic. The more content your site has,
the better. And the great thing is that while you're writing all this,
the search engines are getting notified automatically, assuming you
turned on the notifications mentioned in step 6. - Promote your site.
The best free way to do this is to communicate with other bloggers
writing about similar topics, and to participate in online communities
where your topic is discussed. See the Online Business Networking category for ideas, as well as the Internet Marketing category.
Tips:
- You have
to learn some basic HTML and basic concepts about running a web site.
It's just not that hard. If you have to rely on purchased software, you
won't be able to get exactly what you want, you won't know what to do
when things go wrong, and you'll end up spending money you don't need
to. Spend the time to learn it. It will be well worth the investment. - I
slightly recommend music over books and other products, mainly because
you can listen to the clips of an entire album in about 10 minutes and
get a good enough feel for it (without buying it) to do a short review.
If you have another topic that you're passionate about, great, but make
sure you have a unique angle on the topic. People can get reviews about
a lot of those consumer products anywhere. You need to give them a
reason to come to your site. - To draw repeat visitors, create a
newsletter. Frequency should depend on how often you're posting new
content. Start with monthly. EZezine
will let you send up to 1,000 messages a month for free, with no ads.
By the time you exceed that, you should be able to justify paying for
the service. - To pick up some extra pennies, sign up for Google AdSense. It probably won't generate a lot of revenue, but it's free to sign up and completely effortless to maintain.
- Set
reasonable expectations for earnings. You've only invested $20. You're
going to make 5% on most products. That means that you need to sell
$400 worth of stuff to make back your investment. To make $20 an hour,
what you write must generate $400 worth of purchases. You get credit
for other purchases made while at Amazon besides just the product you
linked to, so it's not as hard as it may sound. It won't make you rich,
but it's not hard to be profitable, and it builds over time.
What You Need:
- A credit card with about $20 available

The Best Way To Schedule Your Marketing
There are different ways that you can schedule your marketing to ensure that you are doing it consistently and as easily as possible. What appeals to you depends mainly on the level of detail and structure you like to have. One person's organized is another's straight-jacket!
Some people like to keep their schedule more general by designating a theme of activities for each day. For example:
Monday is communication day - catch up on emails; return phone calls; meet with staff; post on Facebook, online forums and other people's blogs
Tuesday is client day - meet with clients (in-person or via phone); do client paperwork; answer client questions
Wednesday is writing day - write content for ezine, blog, teleseminar, email marketing, sales page and website content
Thursday is creative day - research new opportunities for affiliates, partners, joint ventures; think of ideas for new products and services; draft outline for workshop you want to give
Friday is administration day - fine-tune schedule and to-do list for next week; file and clean up desk and office space; back up computer; read magazines and ezines
Other people like to divide their day up into different segments. For instance, they may write in the mornings from 9 - 11am, do email until noon, do some reading and brainstorming until 1:30pm, and then spend the rest of the afternoon on client specific activities.
Another way to set up your schedule is to build it around your reoccurring marketing activities and then fill in the spaces with other stuff. For example, every Tuesday morning may be for writing your weekly ezine and 2 new articles for submission. Thursday afternoon is slotted for a weekly teleseminar, Monday morning is devoted to email and every Friday morning you write 3 new blog postings. Client appointments are fit in wherever it's convenient for both parties.
Still others may determine their schedule by the type of marketing tactic:
Monday - list building activities (create new autoresponder message; publicize new teleseminar you're giving; touch base with your affiliates; submit articles)
Tuesday - website (add new content; write a sales page; check analytics of the site)
Wednesday - sales (offer a promotion; send out email about a new product; summer sale)
Thursday - clients (appointments with clients; write weekly exercise and send to mastermind group; create a survey to send out to new clients)
Friday - free day (whatever comes up and whatever you want to do!)
Whichever way that you create and run your marketing schedule, remember to do it consistently! Your schedule is a living, breathing part of your marketing strategies so pay attention to it and make changes and additions as necessary.
If you have a marketing schedule you're already miles ahead of many small business owners, and you're well on your way to growing a successful business!
