Welcome to My Blog

Why Blog? The best reason I can think of is now you have a chance to ask your questions and get answers and now I can reach more people quickly where there are new tax law changes or something pertaining to your finances I think you might want to know.

Free Advertising for Your Business

Wow!  What a great Win! Win! these websites are.  Groupon.com and LivingSocial.com are 2 websites I highly recommend for both the end user and the business who wants to advertise for basically free.  I am not going to give you all of the details here, but if you want more information, please let me know.  I have been going on things like Paddleboarding, Segways, etc. all from coupons on the above websites as a customer.  When I did the Segway ride I spoke extensively with my "Captain" and learned all about how these companies work.  In a nutshell, the website gets like 20% of the "proceeds" from the coupon and you as the buyer gets either cupcakes, movie tickets, dance lessons, massages or whatever the business of the day is offering at a super price, and the business gets more business than they know what to do with.  My Segway company received almost 500 new customers from the 1 day coupon and they are a brand new business so this was phenomenal for them.  And even though they sold the Segway ride at half price AND gave Groupon.com 20% of the proceeds, they get to keep 100% of the "upsells" such as the DVD I of course had to buy, etc. etc.  A cupcake company sold 2,000 coupons which was their limit and they reached this limit after about 6 hours......Anyway...as I said, this is Win! Win! Win!  If you have a business that wants to grow....talk to me about this...
