If you are considering business alternatives, vending machines are a good place to start. Once the experience is accumulated they can make for some hefty profits.
Here are a couple of tips for getting you started.

1. The object of the sale can be crucial to the business but it can vary from different types of beverages to hygiene products. Product demand and profit margins are to be studied thoroughly for each type of product. For example candy and gumball machines return a profit greater than the actual product value but the sales have to be larger or you need to have more than one machine in one place.

2. Once you have decided on a product you have to choose a proper location, where people stay or gather, places like lunch rooms, bus or train stations, access ways. The location is of critical importance and must be according to what you are selling – for candy, balls, gumballs the best places are where kids may wait like in front of restaurants or at zoos. Restrooms or airports are the best locations to place vending machines selling condoms or tissues.

3. The vending machines can be either rented or purchased. It is usually much cheaper to rent a vending machine but the new ones don’t come very expensive and if they are successful, studies have shown that they pay for themselves in less than a year’s time.

4. Used machines are another way to go. Letting aside the price advantages for this option you can find that many companies that sell used machines offer a reasonable payment plan and even guarantees that their machines will work without any problems.

5. Browse the web for special offers. Many manufacturers now sell their machines online and offer great deals on new or refurbished products.

6. The biggest problem for used machines is posed by the currency changes they may have seen. You have to check if they work with present currencies and how easy is to receive the desired product because this will bring the customers back or drive them away and put you out of business. If the machine works just fine, you just cut your investments a great deal.

7. A thing of interest is the availability of replacement parts. More and more companies offer metal machines that are more reliable than the old plastic ones. Also the repairs are a lot easier and you don’t need a lot of plastic spare parts like with the old ones.

8. You have to keep in mind that the vending machine business is related to the business that houses the machines and it should be a popular one – the more people the bigger the profits. Before asking permission to place the machines remember that persistence is the key to this tough game where 9 of 10 business will turn down your offer .Always talking to the owner of the business instead of an usual employee increases your chances dramatically.

9. The percent of the profits that you are sharing with that business is a thing to take into consideration. You have to find a compromise between motivation of the store/business owner and your own profits.

10. You can take a shortcut and buy the vending machine already placed in a great location. The previous owner will provide you with information about the success of the business, the most frequently encountered problems, most demanded products and store owner commission.

If you put a little thought in it, with a small investment vending machines make for a great business and provide nice incomes in no time. No staff required!

Looking for cell phone accessories at a low cost is sometimes a problem. Although going directly to phone manufacturers for Motorola cell phone accessories, LG accessories, and Samsung phone accessories is a safe choice,it is not always economical. More often, those out there looking for simple equipment and accessories on out-of-date cell phones could either find that they are not offered anymore, or that the cost is too high for an older phone. Never fear though, finding inexpensive accessories is a possibility when you understand where you should look.

Online Vendors
Do an online search for “cellular accessories” and you will probably possibly see thousands of Internet sellers vying for your sale. regardless of whether you are shopping for Motorola, LG, or Samsung cell phone accessories, there’s a good chance you’re going to get a vendor thathas just the thing you’ll need.

Internet Auctions

Assortment is never a problem either, because online sellers appear everyday with wonderful, fresh products. Whether you’re shopping for a cheetah-print faceplate, a car charger, battery, or holster, there’s a great chance a seller has it.

Specialty Stores
The cellular business has become so large that many niche markets have sprouted up as a result.

More often than not, these kiosks or stores provide a big assortment of devices and accessories for several cellular phone models. Keep in mind,, since they traditionally offer only one or two unique products, consumers usually pay a little more.

Mass Retailers

A Guide to choosing good Web Hosting

Part 1.

Ever wondered how to choose good web hosting, well let’s
see if I can point you in the right direction with a few things
that you should consider.

With deals starting at $2.99 per month, you must be sure
that you are getting what you need, both now and in the
future. Remember what you need now could be a different
story six months from now!

So you want web hosting for your home site for friends and
family to keep in touch and put some photos on, then a
basic package will do you fine as long as it helps you with
uploading your site via FTP and maybe some free web site
design software.

However if you run a business or are into internet
marketing then you need something completly different,
and if you plan to have adsense sites then you need to be
careful how you choose!

Here is what you want as as minimum from your web
hosting:-

500MB of disc space
10GB of monthly traffic allowance
Unlimited pop3/smtp email
Unlimited auto responders
Unlimited Mysql data bases
PHP
Unlimited sub-domains
MS front page support
Web site traffic stats
Your own cgi bin
Web based control panel
Password protect directories
Java/JavApplets
Web site building software

And a good amount of ready to install scripts, so you can
set up a Blog in minutes, or set up Ecommerce so you can
sell your product online.

Now if you are unfamiliar with any of the terms above don’t
worry I am not trying to blind you with the tech stuff, just
trust me as your online presence grows you will need all of
the above at some point and some!

To give just one example Data Base’s(Mysql), if you go with
a real cheap host say $2.99 per month you will get 1 Mysql
data base, fine if you only need one, but what if you need
10. You will find that you have to pay for the other 9 and
this can add up on it’s own, if you need even more addons
to your $2.99 Package can become $14.99 per month
package!

Some companies will offer you a cheap web hosting
package just so they can upsell you at a later date, don’t
get caught out by this as they can be very difficult when
you ask them to change your DNS (domain name servers).

Always make sure you can change your own DNS when
registering your domain name, that way you can move your
web hosting account at will if you are not satisfied with your
web hosting provider.

Make no mistake about it, you only get what you pay for
with web hosting. For example another thing that some
web hosting providers do is load their servers heavily with
accounts so they can get the most money out of each
server they have. This is ok, but as the server ages it get’s
slower just like your home PC it gets Full and things take
time to load, it’s just the same with a server but when it
Crashes your site goes down!

In conclusion it’s upto you what you choose, just make sure
it’s what you need….send them an email, and see how long
it take’s them to get back to you with a concise reply. It will
normally reflect how quickly they will get back to you with a
support request!

See you in part two, where we will cover it step by step.

On a final note, if it looks too good to be true then it
probably is!

Finding the Bottom of the Current Real Estate Market

 Gifts  Comments Off on Finding the Bottom of the Current Real Estate Market
Oct 222023
 

The last five to seven years have seen a real estate boom unmatched in history. The boom has cooled off which means dropping prices and buying opportunities.

Finding the Bottom of the Current Real Estate Market

When considering real estate, historical lessons should be strongly analyzed and followed. In the current market, we are coming out of a boom period in which prices are inflated beyond the reasonable, objective value of most homes. As the boom cools off, we are seeing prices begin to drop. Ironically, this situation occurred roughly 20 years ago and provides us with evidence of the buying opportunities to come.

In the late 1980s, the real estate market became saturated. When I say saturated, I means flooded. Both homes and commercial properties sat on markets for months and even years. Prices dropped like a stone in a lake. In one case, a real estate investor friend of mine picked up a home in Los Angeles that had dropped from a price of $650,000 to $380,000. When prices rebounded through the 90s and went nuts in the early part of this decade, he saw the value of the property more than quadruple what he paid. Many suspect such a situation is about to repeat.

If you are considering buying a home, you might want to start analyzing the market. More than likely, you will find that property values are dropping in your area. If you are patient, you can wait till prices bottom out and pick up incredible deals. When prices rebound in the next few years, you should see tremendous gains on your investment and really clean up. So, how do you do it?

One way to watch a market is to identify homes you are interested in that fall in different price categories. Try to identify 20 or so homes. Create a log of the homes, when they came on the market and their initial selling price. Each week, keep track of the status of the homes. Did any sell? Did any drop their asking price? The idea is to look for trends that include it taking longer to sell and asking prices going down. If you see these results, sit and wait. Just watch the prices fall. Eventually, you will see the prices flatten out. You have found the bottom of the market. It is now time to buy.

Timing a market as above can be a bit or hit and miss situation. There is always a chance your local market may not deflate even though national trends suggest as much. If you do not see a definitive downward trend in prices, you may want to skip this entire strategy and simply buy now. Even if you buy at the top of the market, you should see price recovery over the next five years.
