Protecting Your Holiday Cash

Happy Cyber Monday!  The day many of us celebrate finding phenomenal deals on holiday gifts for loved ones, and then wallowing in mild discontent knowing that even though we saved some dough, we’re still out a good chunk of change.

Business and the iPad

I make no secret about how much I love my iPad. When I upgraded my phone to the iPhone, I fell in love and knew an iPad was in my future. I once joked that if the iPhone was a man, I would marry it. Well, if the iPad was a man, I may just commit adultery. My love for these Mac products has caused many to ask me questions about the products. I always have to make it clear that my iPhone and my iPad are not game devices. I don’t even have Angry Birds on my phone and … Continue reading →

Facebook Landing Page

What is a landing page? The landing page is the first thing potential Facebook fans see when they visit your fan page. Therefore it serves as a virtual first impression of your business or blog.

PayPal and Your Business

For many PayPal is a love/hate relationship. PayPal is like the popular girl in school that no likes but everyone fights to sit next to in the cafeteria. Most of us have a PayPal account and most ecommerce sites are now accepting PayPal. Yet, we have all heard the rumors, complaints, and horror stories of those who use PayPal. Many swear it off and refuse to ever do business with PayPal again. From the high fees to their policy of siding with the consumer even at the expense of the seller PayPal has gained some enemies. Seller’s burned by con … Continue reading →

Is your Smartphone Smart Enough?

I came into the smartphone world a bit late. I was convinced I did not need one as long as I had my trusty computer. When I was out and about someone could still call or text and that would have to be good enough, right?

Once the novelty of Angry Birds, Pandora radio, and making my phone into a flashlight worn off I began to focus on using my phone to support my business. After all, … Continue reading →

These days, most families have access to the internet, which gives you a virtual money-making machine right at your fingertips. All it takes is some time and perseverance, and a healthy dose of … Continue reading →

PayPal $15 off $30 Purchase

Google Checkout is turning up the heat on PayPal. With its ease of use, good customer service, and the $10 off promotion during Christmas, it made some substantial gains very quickly. I love Google Checkout and have had nothing but positive experiences with them. I consider PP a necessary evil. PayPal is striking back, though. (Don’t you love good competition?) From now through March 31, spend $30 at an eligible merchant and receive $15 deposited into your PayPal account by May 28. If you shop on eBay, it is included as a PayPal merchant as long as the seller’s account … Continue reading →
