Are You Getting the Best Deal on Your Insurance?

Before I started my business I had to do a lot of research. I had to research the competition, prospective clients, tax laws, prices of various products and tools I would be needing, rates other similar companies were charging,Commercial Insurance, and whether or not it was even possible to turn a profit based on the over all monthly costs for running it. While I learned it was possible I also learned I would still have to keep initial costs low or I could find myself joining the ranks of small businesses that die during their first year of operation. I started to do this by deciding I would not only be the company owner but until work picked up, I would also act as a laborer thus cutting payroll down by one worker. Next I used the internet to locate and buy my tools and products at the best prices possible. I learned tax laws so I could do my own accounting but my biggest money saver was when I shopped for insurance rates. I started comparing rates for the business at first and when I actually saw how much money I could save by not going with the same company I was currently using for my car insurance, I decided to revise my search to include all my insurance needs. Before I was done, I had successfully cut the operating cost for not only my business but for my household as well. My advice is to visit the link I have provided in this post and see if you're getting the best deal on your insurance needs.

Home Inspections Prior to Purchase...Are They Necessary?

There are times to save money and times when it is worth what you pay to get expert advice. One of these times is before purchasing a new home. A home inspection can help you identify many issues that you can later use as bargaining chips during price negotiations as well as stop you from spending too much money on something that turns out to be a money pit. SavingAdvice.com is a great place to read about why you should invest in letting a professional do your home inspection as well as many other money saving ideas. This site is as good as they come and I urge the blogosphere to give it a visit.

All About Mortgages

Readers that may be interested in getting a Mortgage Quote online should visit the link I have just provided you. It contains a whole treasure trove of posted articles concerning different types of mortgages as well as current lending habits of banks and investors. I personally never knew there were so many different kinds of mortgages and as I am not currently a homeowner I do see reason for me to be studying them all so that when the time comes for my first home purchase, I will be able to enter a discussion with my mortgage broker with at least half knowledge as to what he is talking about once he starts throwing out the big words. It would be completely asinine on my part to enter into such a huge decision without preparing myself first. I do not want to end up in foreclosure as so many people today are finding themselves. What used to be one page in the local paper dedicated to foreclosures has now turned into a complete section that makes the world news section look small in comparison. The news claims it is a buyers market and while that may be true, I still feel any buyer should do their homework when it comes to applying for and getting a mortgage. In the end, its your money on the line and you have only yourself to blame if you allow yourself to walk blindly into any situation when information to help you is so readily available.

Overworked And Underpaid

My brother and his girlfriend recently decided to open a bar / restaurant in our city and somehow it has landed in my lap to handle everything from finding the location to hiring contractors for the pre-opening renovation to ordering everything from the neon bar signs to Quality Bar Stools. I am even expected to help with the hiring process by pre-screening candidates. While I did manage to find them a great deal on bar stools from http://www.qualitybarstools.com , complete with free shipping if they order more than $500 worth, I still have so much to do it's starting to make my head swim a little. What I really liked most about this site though was the quality and variety of bar stools being offered. I can order them made from wood, metal, or aluminum and I can get them available for indoor or outdoor use depending on their final building layout. Now if I can just find the perfect location I can begin to look for qualified workers and then I can negotiate my fee for handling all of the above, I figure I should at least be able to get a few bar stools given to me for my basement sports room, either that or a pool table. No seriously, I will be joining them in ownership as a silent partner with 10% ownership in the bar so as long as they make money, I make money thus making all my hard work worthwhile.

Win $300

I just came across a great contest that is really easy to enter and wanted to share it with all my readers. Brand Noise is giving away $300 . Anyone with texting abilities can enter by simply texting the word beer to 247365 and answering just ten questions in a survey. That sounds pretty easy, huh? This is some kind of light beer promotion. I myself do not drink now but there was a time when I would partake on a daily basis. My favorite light beer was Bud Light even though my all time favorite beer was Corona. Corona , a slice of lime, and a few good friends was all I used to need to have a really great time. Over the years things began to change, I guess some people might say I grew up but I contribute more of my being alcohol free to the fact that I actually turned legal drinking age when I was stationed in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm, there is nothing in this world to prove Gods sense of humor like becoming legal in a dry country. This contest will be going on until Midnight on March 14th and you can look at the official rules by visiting the link I have provided above. For all that enter I would just like to say Good Luck and if you happen to win, don't spend all $300 on beer.

Everyone Deserves a Review

Just when you thought my posts had gotten boring, I have come across a blog unlike any I have ever read before and that alone warrants a review. First I would like to say that while I may not agree with the actions taken by another person 100% of the time, I do support their right to make such choices as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I do not believe it is my place to ever judge anyone. Now, for those of you looking for a blog that really stands out as different, look no further than Longing to be a Woman and read about Kathryn, a (wo)man that spends his (her) time dressing and wanting to live as the opposite gender from which he was born. The blog template is simple in design, laid out nicely and the posts, while not my cup of tea, are well written. I am sure that there may be other bloggers out there going through similar situations and thats what this review is about, I will never discriminate when doing a review and I will always try to judge people on the way they treat me as a person versus what society believes to be right. If everyone could just look past petty differences, the world might even be a better place.

Dedicated Web Hosting

ServerPronto is a dedicated web host that is well worth looking into for any experienced web masters that finds themselves in need of an affordable and reliable hosting service. Established in the early days of 1999, ServerPronto has become a web masters dream offering dedicated hosting services with prices starting at just $29.95 per month. Thats not to say it is for everyone, it is clearly designed for the more experienced, amatures such as myself should stick with either a free site or seek shared hosting that may cater to helping us set up our sites. ServerPronto offers hosting with either Windows or Linux based servers and a variety of packages that suit the needs of almost any experienced web masters. Customer support is available 24 / 7 through phone, email, and live chat with a professional group of workers ready to answer even the most complicated of questions around the clock. ServerPronto has been described as being one of the best dedicated web hosts in the business and from what I have read about them already, they seem to be the full package at the best value. As for me, I will be sticking with my free site for now, however if I were to be running an e-store or even a game server, I believe fully that I would do two things, the first would be to hire an expert web master to assist me, the second would be to sign up for dedicated hosting through http://www.mybestratedwebhosting.com/web-hosting-reviews/serverpronto-reviews.html
