EASY MONEY

FOR QUICK, EASY MONEY!

 Pick almost any city or town in the country, drive through any middle class neighborhood or residential area on the weekend, and you're sure to spot at least a half dozen garage sales.

 What's being sold at these garage sales? The accumulated "junk" people no longer use or want taking up space in or around their homes. Are they making any money with these garage sales? You'd better believe they're making money! It's not at all uncommon to make $600 with a weekend garage sale. Is it hard to put on a profitable garage sale? Well, yes and no. It really does take some of your time, and also requires an awareness of a few merchandising tactics. But the problems in running a successful garage sale are small in comparison to the profits.

 Who are the buyers, and how do you get them to come to your garage sale? Your customers are going to be "everybody," and you get them over to your garage sale with a little bit of advertising and promotion.

 Let's look at the background: Everybody accumulates the kind of garage sale items that other people are searching for, and are willing to buy. These items range from no longer wanted or outgrown items of clothing, to furniture, tools, knick-knacks, books, pictures and toys. Many garage sale items are objects of merchandise purchased on impulse, and later found to be not what the buyer wanted. He discovered too late that he really didn't have a use for it, or he no longer has a need for it. Many items found at garage sales are gifts that have been given to the seller, but are the wrong size or incorrect choice for the recipient.

 The problem with most people is that they haven't the time to gather up all the items "just taking up space" in and around their homes and staging a garage sale to get rid of them. Many people don't know how to stage a garage sale, and many other people feel
that putting on a garage sale is just too much bother and work.

 This is where you enter the picture. Your enterprise will be an ongoing garage sale of items donated and collected from these people who lack the inclination to put on garage sales of their own.

 Step one is education: Spend a few weeks visiting all the garage sales, swap meets and flea markets in your area. Find out what's being offered for sale, what people are buying, and how the merchandise is being sold. Generally an item is tagged with a price, but the seller is open to almost any reasonable offer from the customer. Another thing you want to make mental note of is the way the merchandise is displayed, and how the customers are allowed to browse.

 You start your own garage sale by cleaning out your own basement, attic, closets and garage. Talk to your relatives and friends; tell them what you're going to do and ask them for donations of no-longer used or unwanted items. It's here that you'll get your first experience in negotiating, and finally, an agreement for you to display and sell other people's merchandise for a percentage of the sales price. You'll find people explaining that they really don't have a use for a specific item or they really don't want to keep storing it, but because of sentimental reasons, "just hate to give it away."

 Once you've had a little experience with this type of seller, you will be able to advertise in the newspaper that you buy garage sale items, or take them on consignment for a percentage of the final sales price.

 It's best that your wife handle the garage sale itself - greets the potential customers, "shows them around," and generally engages them in conversation. If it's a woman staging the garage sale, then arrangements should be made to have an other woman "mind the store" while she's out digging up more items for sale.

 The advertising angle is really quite simple, and shouldn't cost very much either. You should run an ad in your area shopper's newspaper for about three days in advance of, and up through the day of your sale. Once you're operating on a full time, every-day-of-the-week schedule, you'll want to change your ad schedule and the style of your advertising. But in getting started, go with small classified ads simply announcing your garage sale, emphasizing that you've got something of interest to everyone - everything from A to Z. To get ideas on how to write your ad, check your news pa per for a week or so; cut out all the garage sale ads you can find; paste them up on a piece of paper. Then, with a bit of critical analysis, you'll be able to determine how to write a good ad of your own by determining the good and the bad in the ads you've collected. Something to remember: The bigger and better your sale, the bigger and bet ter your "getting started" ads should be. And the secret to outstanding garage sale profits is in having the widest or largest selection of merchandise.

 You should have made an old-fashioned "sandwich board" sign to display in front of your house when your garage sale is open for business. This will pull in your neighbors, if you haven't already informed them, and attract the people driving by. Sand
wich boards are sometimes set out at key traffic intersections not far from the site of the garage sale, to attract attention and point the way. (Check local ordinances to see if this is
permitted in your area.)

 Another "sign idea" practiced by a few really sharp operators is the old "Burma Shave" roadside pointers. Here, you simply take a few cute sayings in verse (or one-liners), write on pieces of cardboard and tack onto the power poles at about 200 yard
intervals on a thoroughfare leading to your garage sale. You'll create a lot of traffic for yourself! Simply visit the public library and check out a book on limericks, adapt the ones you find humorous, and start making signs. One word he re though: Be sure to check your local ordinances before you start nailing signs to power poles. 

 By all means, search out and use all the free bulletin boards in your area. It's better, and usually much more profitable, to take the time to make up an attention grabbing circular you can post on these bulletin boards than just using a written 3 by 5
card announcement.

 To do this, pick up some "transfer lettering," go through your newspapers and old magazines for interesting illustrations, graphics and pictures, then with a little bit of imagination, make up an 8 1/2 by 11 poster-type announcement of y our sale. When you've got it pasted up, take it to any quick print shop and have them print up 50 to 100 copies for you. The cost should not come to more than six or seven dollars.

 If you make this "circular/poster" up with versatility and long-time usage in mind, you can use it over and over again, simply by pasting on a new date. In case you were puzzled when we talk about "pasting," this is simply pasting another piece of paper onto the overall page. Say you have a circular with a date of Wednesday, March 1st, and want to change it to read Thursday, July 16th. Rather than do the whole thing over, simply write out the new date with your transfer letters on a separate sheet of paper, cut out to fit in the space occupied by the old date, and paste the new date over the old date. A good paste to use for this purpose is rubber cement. That's all there is to it; the printer does the rest.

 Now let's talk about the "inside secrets" of drawing people into your sale, and the merchandising "gimmicks" that will result in the maximum sales and profits for you. First, call attention to your sale. Don't be shy, bashful or self-conscious about letting everybody for miles about know that you're having a garage sale. Some sharp operators do the next best thing to having the Goodyear blimp overhead: They rent miniature blimps, send them up above the housetops, and tether them there on their sale days. Of course this giant balloon or miniature blimp has some sort of sign on the side of it, inviting people to your garage sale! This is one of the strongest available advertising ideas for pulling "traffic" to a sale of any kind. For more details, write to Pie-In-The-Sky Company, PO Box 5267, San Mateo, CA 94402.

 You have to give your sale some flair. Put some posts up across the front of your property and run some twisted crepe paper between them. Even better than crepe paper, run brightly colored ribbons. Invest in some colorful pennants and fly them from temporary flag poles. And don't forget the balloons!

 Make your garage sale a fun kind of event with clusters of balloons anchored to your display tables and racks. Be sure to "float" them well above the heads of your customers as they are browsing through your merchandise displays.

 Cover your display tables with colorful cloths. Don't hesitate to use bright colors with busy patterns. Regardless of what you sell, effective display is still predominantly essential!

 You cannot "dump" items haphazardly on a table, sit down, and expect to realize great profits. The people doing the most business - making the most sales - are the ones with interesting displays, action and color.

 Try to have as wide a selection of colors as possible in your clothing racks, and mix them for a rainbow effect. Make sure that your jewelry items shine and sparkle. Arrange them in and with jewelry boxes, jewelry ladders and other items sold for the purpose of showing off jewelry while keeping it neatly organized. We know of one lady who regularly arranges jewelry items in a battery operated lazy susan. Seeing this jewelry slowly turning on the lazy susan never fails to draw attention.

 Think about it, and then study the methods of display used by "rack jobbers" in the stores in your area. These are the wire racks that usually hold card packaged items. This kind of display rack would lend itself beautifully for anchoring a cluster of balloons. Keep these things in mind, and build your individual displays as part of the whole; make it pleasing to the eye as well as convenient for your customers to browse through and select the items that appeal to them.

 Look for some kind of interesting and unusual item to call attention to your sale - something you can set up or park in front of your home during your sale. Some of the displays we've seen along these lines include a horse-drawn surrey, a restored Model T, an old farm plow. But anything of an unusual and interesting nature will do the trick for you. One couple we know put up a display using a manikin dressed in an old-time farm bonnet, long dress and apron. The display depicted a farm woman of old, washing clothes with a scrub board and two steel wash tubs. You have to believe this drew crowds and made people talk!

 Wherever your imagination takes you, you have to be different and distinctive, or you'll get lost in the hundreds of garage sales going on all around you. If you'll take the time to employ a bit of imagination and set your sales up with the kind of flair we've been talking about, you'll not just draw the crowds, you'll end up being the one holding the most profits.

 It's almost a compulsion of many women to go shopping, to search for interesting and sometimes rare and valuable items. This fact alone will keep you as busy as you'll ever want to be - staging and holding garage sales. The market is so vast, and the appetite so varied, that anything from a brass bedstead to a used diary of somebody's long-for-gotten grandmother will sell, and sell fast at garage sales. Put it all together, use a little imagination, and you'll easily make all the money you want!and have them print up 50 to 100 copies for you. The cost should not come to.

Geriatric Care Managers Explained


What They Do

Geriatric Care Managers are professional advocates who help seniors and their caregivers lead the highest possible quality of life. Trained in any of a number of fields related to long-term care, the GCM acts as your guide, primarily identifying problems and offering solutions. GCMs are trained to recognize telltale signs in your loved one that indicate specific needs-signs that are clear to trained professionals, but which you may not be able to recognize yourself. GCMs can be hired to help you in times of crisis, should you need respite or as the full-time point of contact for all senior care services.

What to Expect

GCMs begin the process by conducting a comprehensive care assessment of the senior to determine his or her needs. The objective of an assessment is to draft a plan of care, which is based on the health, social, emotional and physical needs of that person.

GCMs often work with other long-term care professionals to coordinate as few or as many services as are necessary to meet the specific needs of your loved one. The services a GCM provides include screening, arranging and monitoring the services your loved one requires; preserving financial resources by helping you avoid inappropriate placements and duplicated services; intervening in a crisis; counseling and supporting; educating and advocating; and much more. The GCM will continue to monitor care on an ongoing basis, and will modify the care plan when appropriate.

Paying for Geriatric Care Managers

Geriatric care management is strictly private pay as Medicare, Medigap, Managed Care, Medicaid and LTCI do not cover the service. Read a detailed description of all types of reimbursements.

Veterans Benefits

What It Covers

While Veterans Benefits do not cover geriatric care management, they do cover Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM), a similar service that includes a comprehensive assessment of the veteran's physical, medical and emotional needs. The objective of the assessment is to build a customized plan of care that may include a combination of treatment, rehabilitation and social services.

How to Spot a Guinness Air Bubble

It was a well know fact that the Blowers in Waterford Crystal Ireland had a really tough job. The heat in the Blowing Department reached temperatures in excess of 110 degrees. Some of the counter measures to combat this predicament were salt tablets. This would keep body fluids from building up and would bring much relief to these extraordinary artisans. This would also save their wives from doing laundry with extra fabric softeners. The result was softer shorts, which gave a element of comfort to these fine craftsmen of the now bankrupt Waterford Crystal in Ireland.

In those days, air-conditioning was unheard of and the next best relief available was an open window, a big fan turning at a high rate of speed to circulate the air, or a head/sweat band to stop the moisture from stinging the eyes, which could result in crystal pieces being deformed. Shirts were not allowed to be taken off, but on the real hot days the Supervisors overlooked it. Water fountains were spread throughout the factory floor which was a must have on the lazy warm days of summer. Other ways to beat the heat were to have liquid lunches at the local watering establishments.

Air Bubbles, also known as Smithwicks, Phoenix, Harp and Guinness bubbles, were formed in a lot of the crystal pieces that the blowers created. The Guinness bubbles were the largest and gave the cutters the most problems. It was up to the Master Cutter on the bench to determine what species the bubble was and to act accordingly to remove the air from the bubble. Special wheels called the GB Blaster were used frequently, where the cutter would have to wear a special oxygen mask to eliminate the hot air created by the Guinness formation. Many an American visitor, while taking the factory tour, was heard commenting on how happy the Blowers were. One of the favorite songs heard resonating in harmony with perfect pitch each day after lunch was "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles"

White Wine Making

The term white wine does not necessarily refer to the color of the grapes used. White wine can be made from red or even very dark colored grapes. What is important is that the fleshy part which is clear in appearance is separated or has limited contact with the skin during juicing to ensure that a clear juice is produced.

Winemaking, also called vinification refers to the production of wines. There are three basic steps in winemaking: preparation, fermentation and maturation.

Preparation

Grapes are carefully picked from the vineyard. It is important that they are picked at the right age and at the right time, this ensures that the chemical composition of the fruit is in the right balance. Such factors contribute in t he production of a good wine.

After picking, the grapes are cleaned and checked for bruises. Bruised grapes are then set aside, they are no longer suitable to make wine. All skins, seeds and stems are removed before juicing. The result, a clear juice perfect for making white wine.

Fermentation

This is the process of adding live yeast to the juice. The yeast turns the sugar content of the juice into alcohol. Fermentation may last for three to four weeks.

Maturation

Also known as aging, this is the process of storing wine to further develop its flavor and aroma. Wines can be stored in barrels, steel vats or directly in bottles. The important thing is that wines are stored away from sunlight.

Wilshire Corridor

Where to get the best condominium lifestyle?

Wilshire Corridor is not called the Golden Mile for nothing. Another popular portion within Los Angeles' world-famous entertainment district, the Wilshire Corridor is known for its line of ultra-modern, luxury condominiums, which make up its fantastic skyline. And for this alone, many up and coming Hollywood stars dream of leasing a luxury condo on the Wilshire Corridor.

The Wilshire Corridor stretches from the western part of Westwood Village, all the way to the east of the street where the Los Angeles Country Club, slicing the area between Beverly Hills and Westwood Village. These days, the Wilshire Corridor is known for being the center of the hip and happening Los Angeles condo lifestyle-stylish, chic, and modern.

Those who are leasing a luxury condo on the Corridor probably didn't know that the Corridor's reputation for being the site of luxurious condominium complexes did not come about until the middle of 1970s. Before then, the stretch of the Wilshire Boulevard mostly housed small apartment complexes. Apartments mushroomed until there were no more spaces for additional buildings left. After which, developers moved on to establishing high-rise condominiums from Ground Zero. The highest condominium buildings back then towered up to 27 floors.

As an offshoot of the condominium developments going on in the area, the Wilshire-Westwood Scenic Corridor Specific Plan was drafted and approved in February 1981. The plan addressed such concerns as the density of the developments, landscape issues and easements of light and view. The plan also regulated subsequent developments to only 75 feet high or a total of six floors, except for special developments that are subject to approval. Among these special exemptions were the LaTour, which was topped off in 1990 and has 73 units spread out over all 21 floors, and the Wilshire, completed the following year and has 95 units in its 27 floors.

For many of the residents, leasing a luxury condo on the Corridor is a signal that one has "arrived" in the social scene. Living in the Wilshire Corridor is indeed the best condominium lifestyle that you can ever get. The standard amenities that come with leasing a luxury condo on the Wilshire Corridor put premium on comfort and convenience in the most luxurious way.

Leasing a luxury condo on the Wilshire Corridor is also a better option for singles or new couples who want a taste of the luxurious LA life without having to spend on a Sunset Boulevard mansion. Aside from cost savings, condominium living also provides residents with better amenities and more aggressive security.

High Resolution Video Surveillance

Every night the evening news shows just how bad video surveillance can be as we watch a recording of the local store being robbed at gunpoint. Most of the video we see is so bad its hard to determine the physical characteristic of the bad guy due to low resolution analog cameras. How many times have you wondered why you see such poor quality video being displayed on your HD TV? IP Megapixel technology will change video security from a low-resolution, poor quality video to high definition quality that is changing the video security industry.

We see great results on television programs showing camera recordings that rival HD television cameras, so why is this technology not available to every retail and business requiring some form of video surveillance? Today its not available at a reasonable cost, but it will soon be availble to the masses as IP Megapixel technology becomes standard camera requirements, and the cost of IP Megapixel CCTV comes down in price. Basically the cameras will be digital IP instead of analog composite signals. Digital IP cameras are fast emerging and costs should drastically decrease as more products coe to the market. It can't happen soon enough.

Video surveillance technology is dominated by analog cameras. With analog cameras comes low resolution and the inability to digitally zoom the recorded video with any real success. With the new IP Megapixel Video Cameras coming to the market, the video surveillance business is changing rapidly both technically and at a business level.

We have had for several years, Megapixel still-shot and video cameras. We can record quality high resolution pictures and video, and better yet perform post-recording editing such as digital zoom and cropping. Why is video surveillance technology behind on this technology? Why can't a video camera take a record a broad view of a business retail counter and if necessary, zoom in to details such as faces and transaction details? Due to the limitaions of analog cameras this has been a burden for video security installers and customers alike.

IP Megapixel cameras are measured by the number of pixels on the screen (resolution). Compared to typical analog systems with less than 640x480 resolution, Megapixel Cameras at 3MB have a resolution of 2048 x 1540 and a 6 Megapixel Video Surveillance will provide 2830 x 2800 resolution. Basically the smaller the dots on the screen, and the more dots on the screen provide the ability for Digital Zoom to maintain a quality picture. In analog cameras with 500 or so TV Lines, digital zooming brings fuzzy video and poor quality images.

Bed Wetting

It can be a frustrating journey for parents seeking a handling for bed wetting in children. There are quite a few different methods out there for treating bed wetting, and being well informed before committing a lot of time or expense to a particular treatment will serve you well.
One of the more heavily advertised treatments is a moisture alarm. This could come in the form of special pants or a pad for the mattress. The sensor on the moisture alarm will send a wireless signal to a receiver usually kept by the parents who will quickly wake up the child when moisture is detected. This method has some workability, however it does have a high relapse rate and therefore the treatment needs to be repeated as many times as necessary.

Another treatment for bed wetting in children would be in the form of synthetic hormones that are designed to mimic the hormones that regulate bladder control at night. This method has had some proven success, however it needs to be administered and monitored by a doctor, and many parents may be wary of giving hormones to their children. Similarly, antidepressants are sometimes prescribed for bed wetting in children. These drugs are risky in that they have known side effects.

Investing in a Sure-Thing

There is a common tendency, in times of economic down-turn and uncertainty, to look for the 'sure-thing' - something that can put fears to rest and help reduce anxiety. In such times, individuals with high self-confidence and self-esteem thrive and prosper by capitalizing on the lack of inspired competition. While everyone is looking for ways of cutting back and reducing overall costs, it is important to remember that though times may be tough now, it is critical that we continue to invest - both time and money - in the things that will endure long beyond the recession, namely, our families and personal relationships.

With enough negative information in the media surrounding the state of the global economy and the same message often being echoed in the workplace, now more than ever, we need to draw our strength and confidence from the people closest to us. The home is our refuge. It is also a place to get re-energized and inspired; to give love and receive love. While it is easy to get wrapped up with resume writing, social networking, job-fairs and head-hunters, we need to make time for each other. This time, however we chose to spend it, is invaluable to all our other aspirations.

The boost to one's feeling of self-worth, acceptance and value as a human being received at home will propagate and permeate all other aspects of our life. A positive sense of self will translate to a more upright posture, greater tendency to smile, a firmer handshake, a confident 'can-do' attitude and the belief that I have value to your organization, company or enterprise and you will miss out if I walk out of here because I can make it happen: I'm a sure thing.

Great Children's Party!

If you are planning your child's birthday party, and want it to be an extra special party this year, why not follow these different tips, and ideas, which will help your child have the best birthday party ever.

The best way to get your child really interested and for them to have a great time is to theme the party round an idea, interest, or hobby. This will keep your child interested, and they will have loads of fun, and enjoy a party dedicated to their hobbies and interests. From these ideas it is great to involve your child throughout the organisation of the party, this will keep them even more interested, and excited about the upcoming of the party. Their involvement will help them want to create the best party ever, and they will not go off the idea, or become disinterested, meaning already you are a great success in creating your child's best party ever.

From your chosen themes, the first thing to do is send out themed invitations to the guests. For example if you're having a pirate themed party send out pirate party invitations. This will let them know that they are in for a lot of fun, at an exciting themed party, and make them eager about the approaching party. After this it's time to organise the party, and to think about what the party should involve. You should think about party games and activities, food and drink, venue decorations (to create a playful atmosphere), and the all important party bags, filled with party bag toys, which your child's friends can take home and enjoy, and remember the party for the rest of the day, week, and even month.

Party games and activities are important to your party. Tie this in with your themes, and you will be on to a winner. For example if your child would like a pirate party, why not have treasure hunts with maps, prizes and clues in different rooms. Also buying a few accessories which the children can wear throughout the treasure hunt such as eye patches, and a moustache, this will make them laugh, get excited, and get into character, as pirates. Buying children's party supplies is a great idea to help engage the children. Ask your child if they have any ideas for the party games and activities, they may come up with something completely original, fun, and entertaining.

After all you will be entertaining children of your own Child's age, so anything they choose will generally be the best way to keep everyone entertained, and interested. For decorations and accessories within your activities and party games, it's a great idea to buy these within the theme of your party and you can purchase these cheaply. It's a great idea to have games and party activities finish with a prize or something the children have made which they can take home. Children love to compete, and engage into something which they can complete and take home proudly to show their parents.

After the children have played, it's now a good idea for them to enjoy some food and drink. Again tying this in with the theme is a great way to keep the kids excited. For example if it's a princess and fairies theme, you can buy themed birthday party plates, cups, napkins, banners, party bags, table cloths, balloons, fairy and princess themed food, and sprinkle the table with fairy dust. Perfect. The children will enjoy sitting and eating at the fairy and princess themed table.

Three speedy And gentle Ways To construct A Profitable Opt In List

Three speedy And gentle Ways To construct A Profitable Opt In List


You eventually realize that you demand a good opt-in name. After reading countless articles and sought expert advices and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of your own. Then it happens, you think you have known everything there is to know about opt-in lists and have followed their advices to the T and you still weren’t able to make a profit.
In point of fact, you may be losing money. You maybe hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, your still losing profit. You’ll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.

Indeed what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list does not mean they are going to buy instantly.

Hither I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.
1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.

Joint forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advices and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good clients. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what you're business is all about.

The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not attending buy something out of your recommendation if they don’t know you.

2) discover a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you will be able to carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the customers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.

Although it is true that they are best to sell something that you have interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits get into. As well provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.

3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people that have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you in the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a first hand account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.

Building a profitable opt-in list don’t just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.
