Bad Credit Loan — Let’s Cut Through the Hype!

Bad credit loans seem to be a hot topic these days. In fact, if you need a bad credit loan, you’re likely to find an overabundance of information.

See if this sounds familiar. You need a loan. Maybe you want to buy a car, enroll in college, or take out a home improvement loan. Or perhaps you’re a first time home buyer and you’re looking for a mortgage. The problem is, you’ve got a bad credit history, and you’re afraid you won’t be able to find a lender.

But then you do a little research on bad credit loans and find that, lo and behold, there ARE loans for people with bad credit available! In fact, EVERYONE wants to give you a loan. Loans for cars, mortgage loans, student loans, personal loans, loans for just about anything you want. Not only loans, but credit cards too. Why, who would have ever thought is would be so easy to get a loan when your credit history is so dismal?

So, that’s great news, right? RIGHT?

Let’s just stop for a moment. Ask yourself “Why is everyone so eager to extend credit to me when my credit history is so bad?”

The question can be answered in two words — HIGH RATES. Sure, you can get a bad credit loan easily enough. But you’ll “pay through the nose” when it comes to the interest rate.

So “What’s the ‘big deal’ about paying a little higher rate?” you ask. Let’s look at a few figures.

Suppose you want to buy a car. After looking long and hard, you find the “perfect” car for $20,000. So you apply for a car loan and get a loan with no trouble, but because of your poor credit, you have to pay 20% interest. On a 60 month loan, your monthly payments will be $529.88.

Now if your credit were very good, you might have gotten the same 60 month loan at an interest rate as low as 10%, with monthly payments of $424.94.

The bottom line is, over the life of the loan you’ll have paid an additional $6,296.40 in interest that you would NOT have paid if you had you gotten the loan at 10% interest. Your bad credit loan will have cost you $6,296 more FOR THE SAME CAR!

But if you think that’s bad, take a look at a home mortgage loan.

Suppose you want to buy a $100,000 home and you’re just thrilled to find a lender willing to give you a 30 year loan in spite of your bad credit. He’ll charge you 12% interest, and your monthly payment will be $1,028.61.

If your credit had not been so bad, you could have gotten the loan for a rate closer to 9%. If your credit had been very good, you might have been charged only 6% interest and your monthly payment would have been $599.55.

The bottom line? That bad credit loan will have cost you (over the 30 year term) a staggering $154,461.60 MORE than you would have paid had you gotten a loan at the 6% rate.

No, this is NOT a typo. Your lender will pocket $154,461.60 in additional interest payments because you were charged a higher rate for a bad credit loan. That’s over 1 times the cost of the house itself!

So why did he charge you the higher rate? Because he knows he can get it! After all, he’s got you “over a barrel.” He knows (and you know) that you need a loan, but because of your bad credit no one’s going to give you one at a low interest rate.

Do you see now why people are so eager to lend you money in spite of your bad credit? In fact, credit reporting companies make a fortune selling lenders the names of people who have bad credit. Those lenders know they can charge them high rates, and that if they need credit, they have no choice but to pay them.

So what’s the solution? You may be thinking “What choice do I have anyway? My credit is bad, I need a loan to get a house (or car, college education, or whatever) and there’s just nothing I can do about it except find a lender willing to give me a loan at whatever interest rate I can get!”

But consider for a moment whether you might be looking at the situation from a completely wrong angle. Rather than resign yourself to the situation, you should be thinking about repairing your credit.

Now if you just found the house of your dreams, you may have no choice but to act now before someone else buys it. But if you can wait a couple of months, it’s highly likely you can make some major improvement in your credit score and THEN look for a loan.

Maybe this isn’t what you wanted to hear. After all, you’re looking for a loan, NOT credit repair advice. But wouldn’t it be worth it to postpone getting that house or that car if it would save you thousands, tens of thousands, or maybe even $150,000.00 or more over the long haul?

If you’re thinking your bad credit history is something you’re just stuck with, or that it will take years to improve, you’re mistaken. It’s often possible to make major improvements in your credit rating in just a few months, and in some cases in as little as 30 days!

It’s not that difficult either. You basically have 2 options. You can hire a “Credit Repair Agency” or you can take the “do it yourself” approach.

If you decide to hire an agency, you can easily find one in your phone book or online. Just look for “credit repair.” However, it won’t be cheap. Agencies usually charge from $2,500 to $5,000 or more to repair your credit. But that’s still a bargain compared to how much you’ll be saving in the long run.

But if you think only a professional agency can fix your credit, think again! In spite of their high fees, they won’t do anything for you that you can’t easily do for yourself. If you can write a few letters, address, stamp, and mail them you can repair your own credit.

If you choose the “do it yourself” route (recommended) you can learn how by doing some online research. Unfortunately, along with all the good information you’ll find some misinformation as well. A better option is to find an authoritative book on credit repair and follow the advice therein.

In conclusion, you should seriously consider postponing your search for a bad credit loan. First spend a couple of months improving your credit rating. Then you can abandon the search altogether, and begin looking for a GOOD credit loan!

The Ugg Boot

Did you know that the Ugg Boot originated in Australia? Many
people, mostly Americans, believe that the Ugg Boot is, well, a
fad. But, it has actually been around for many years. It was
simply the way boots were made in Australia. But, how did the
Ugg Boot make it to the United States? How did it become so
popular, so fast in the United States? And, what is it about the
Ugg Boot that sets them apart from other stylish boots available?

For many people, the Ugg Boot is the cool boot to wear. To
others, they are great pieces of craftsmanship that just scream,
WEAR ME!! The Ugg Boot though is more than these simple
statements. The Ugg Boot is made with high quality and high
standards as well.

The Ugg Boot made it to the United States back in 1978 when a
man named Brian Smith decided to take a gamble and see if this
unique, yet fantastic boot could make it in the United States.
It was a chance because the Australian was worried that the Ugg
Boot was too much of quirky Australian design to make a hit in
the US. But the Ugg Boot took off in California especially. It
was the Californian surfers who first fell in love with the Ugg
Boot.

Since then, though, the Ugg Boot has skyrocketed in sales and it
is well loved throughout the United States and in other markets
as well. What was it about the Ugg Boot, though, that made it
such a hot commodity? Could it have been the durability and
quality of the Ugg Boot? Was it the uniqueness about its cute
design? Perhaps it was due to the fact that the Ugg Boot was
made from sheepskin? Whatever it was that attracted those
surfers, and later all those Americans to purchase them, the Ugg
Boots have become a worldwide hit.

Throughout the course of years, there have been many different
manufacturers making the Ugg Boot. There have been knock offs as
well as other well known spin offs of the Ugg Boot as well. The
Ugg Boot is typically a boot lined with sheepskin. It is very
warm and offers a great level of comfort and softness. While
they are great to wear in winter, muddy conditions can ruin
them. The Ugg Boot is widely available, widely loved, and
available in a variety of styles and colors. There is an Ugg
Boot out there for just about anyone!

Online Dating With Friends: 5 Ways Your Friends Can Help You Find Love Online

Finding someone to date is easier with a little help from your friends so if you have joined a dating site (or are thinking of joining a dating site) then talk with your friends and see if they would like to sign up with you.

Just because online dating is carried out in the comfort of your home, it doesn’t mean you can’t involve your friends, as you would normally do if you were looking to meet someone at work or in a pub.

So the next time you talk to your friends instead of asking if they want to go to the pub, ask if they would like to join you on a dating site so you can find love online together; the chances are they were thinking about it anyway but needed some encouragement from a friend.

Here are 5 ways enlisting the help of a friend can help you both find love online:-

1. It doubles your opportunities of meeting someone; your friend could recommend someone to you who he or she has met online and knows would be a perfect match for you … or vice versa!

2. Two pairs of eyes are better than one so why not make a night of it and invite your friend over to yours so that you can log on and search for a date together.

3. Arrange a chat room date with your friend and other members; together you will be able to judge their characters and decide whether you want to take it further.

4. If you both meet someone online, arrange a double date. Not only is there safety in numbers but everyone will be in the same boat when you date “offline”

5. Finally, the majority of singles seek a second opinion before they date someone so if you are both registered with the same dating site, it’s easy to ask your friend to log on and let you know what they think of someone before you pass on personal information or arrange a date.

With so many positive ways your friends can increase your online dating opportunities, start calling your friends today!

Cheap Webhosting - Is It For You

There’s an old adage which states that “You get what you pay for”.

In most areas of life, and business, this holds true. Not necessarily so, however, in the webhosting industry. Often, you pay too much, and don’t get what you pay for.

Several weeks ago I got a call from a web designer friend of mine.

“John,” He said “You won’t believe this”.

He went on to tell me about a Plastic Surgeon he was redesigning a website for. This client was paying $600.00 per month for his webhosting account.

“The incredible thing is” He related, “I can’t get the current host to return my phone calls or emails”.

After looking at this clients needs, I was shocked to find that there was nothing special about his site that justified his being on anything other than a basic shared webhosting plan. We quoted him a monthly rate of under five dollars.

In this case, the client was being raped by an unscrupulous host who was not only overcharging him, but not even providing the basic support he needed.

This is an extreme example, no doubt, but it all to often characterizes the poor deal which most website owners fall into.

Several years ago, there was no such thing as a webhosting industry. Nearly all websites were hosted by local ISP’s. The average monthly cost for hosting a website was $20.00 per month. Often, if you called the ISP with a technical question, they would tell you to buy a book or take a class.

Around 1996, we saw the emergence of a few “webhosting” companies. These were companies which were strictly committed to hosting websites. Using the economy of scale, they were able to offer incredibly useful webhosting packages for around $10.00 per month. What’s more, some of these companies provided useful tech support which was geared towards meeting a website owners needs.

Fast forward to 2005 and we now see the emergence of a new type of web host - the cheap webhosting provider. These are companies which offer hosting for less than $5.00 per month.

Generally, cheap webhosting providers are newer companies. There’s a reason for this. It’s extremely difficult for the older companies to lower their prices when they already have a large customer base which pays higher prices. They’d be slashing their gross, and most companies just can’t afford that.

So how do cheap webhosting providers offer such a low price to begin with?

Part of it is that servers, hard drive space and bandwidth are much, much less expensive than they were several years ago. Cheap webhosting providers capitalize on this.

Another part is that cheap hosting providers use a different business model than the older providers. Webhosting is a very competitive business. Until recently, web hosts attempted to compete by providing the most tools and features. The problem with this model is that not everyone needs everything. Most web hosts provide free backup services to all of their clients. Backups are costly, and not everyone needs or wants them, but everyone pays for them because they’re built into the cost of the package.

A cheap webhosting provider, on the other hand, might give you the basic features that everyone uses, but offer weekly backups as an available add on feature, putting the cost of backing up websites on only those customers who want that service.

This all sounds great, I know, but what about service? Will I get competent and fast customer support from a company which charges me $4.00 per month?

The answer, surprisingly, is usually yes.

Obviously, not all cheap webhosting providers will give you great service. But not all expensive webhosting providers will give good service either. Our Plastic Surgeon friend couldn’t get his $600.00 host to return his emails.

But, with a cheaper provider, the key for the providers success is customer retention. A savvy web host will endeavor to please his existing clients by providing the best support possible.

The Power of the Newsletter - Solidifying Customer Relationships with Captivating, Relevant, Durable

You’ve worked hard to gain your customers’ business and want to
explore ways to strengthen your relationship with them while
informing them of important news and information. One proven
method of maintaining regular contact with existing and
potential customers is by distributing a company newsletter. But
wait! Before you begin developing your first issue, don’t make
the common mistake of thinking your newsletter is another
opportunity to “sell” more products and services. Newsletters
are NOT ads; what’s more, if you make the mistake of treating
your newsletter like an advertisement you will not only turn off
many of your valued customers, you will risk destroying that
coveted trust that you’ve worked so hard to develop.

Think of your newsletter as an intangible agreement you make
with your customers. They’re living up their end of the
agreement by opening your newsletter and scanning it for
information that is relevant to them; your end of the agreement
is to deliver content that your customers will find engaging,
relevant and pertinent to their needs. If they enjoy the read,
if they learn something new, if they’re left with a positive
feeling, then your newsletter has succeeded in boosting their
perception of your company and they will likely purchase more
products and services from your organization in the future.

The trick to writing effective newsletter content is to stick to
what you know best and share your knowledge and experience with
your customers. Don’t assume that your customers will know what
you consider basic information - it’s amazing how much knowledge
and experience business owners simply take for granted. Think of
your newsletter as an opportunity to share your expertise and
teach what you have learned about your products and your
industry. When assembling the content, ask yourself if the
information you are assembling will be helpful, interesting and
useful to your customers in some way.

INCOMPAS can assist you in writing and producing your own
effective newsletter content, or we can edit your existing
newsletter and offer constructive advice on how to strengthen
your editorial product. To get you started, we’ve developed a
step-by-step guide to assist you in producing a winning
newsletter.

—————————————————————–
—————

Step-by-Step Plan for Developing Durable Newsletter Content

1) Be in tune with your audience - Always put yourself in your
readers’ shoes by thinking about what matters to them. What are
their most frequently asked questions when it comes to your
products and services? Ask your customers about what issues
matter most to them. Hold a brainstorm session with your
colleagues and talk to your sales, administrative and technical
staff - the front line for your customers; ask them what they
think is on your customers’ minds.

2) Build a solid foundation - Decide how many pages your
newsletter will be and think carefully about how often you can
realistically produce an issue. Develop a budget, and be
realistic about the time and expense required to assemble,
write, design, edit and distribute each issue of a newsletter.
Assemble the team you will require to help you develop and
maintain a quality newsletter. Ideally, you will have an editor
in place to manage and deliver polished content and a designer
to establish and maintain a distinct, refined look.

3) Establish an editorial calendar - Plan your issues in
advance, develop an editorial calendar and decide on a
production schedule. Give your contributors plenty of lead time
and clearly written writers guidelines, including word count
expectations and photo requirements. Because you will likely
depend on volunteers to contribute to your newsletter, realize
that the only person who will respect imposed deadlines will be
you. Allow plenty of time in your production schedule to allow
for unexpected delays.

4) Develop centralized themes - Start by grouping your
newsletter content around a central theme that will tie all
articles together. Working to a theme will help you focus your
content and will help your readers better relate to your
company, products and services. When structuring your
newsletter, start with one or two short feature articles (such
as a customer testimonial or case study, or an article examining
a current, newsworthy issue) and follow with regular departments
reporting product, company and industry news, and providing
seasonal advice, tips & tricks, frequently asked questions
(faqs), training, trends, etc. Ask a leader in your organization
to write a column each issue, and place this column in a
prominent position in your newsletter, preferably immediately
following your “lead” feature. Once you establish a newsletter
structure, follow it every issue to give your readers a greater
feeling of continuity and brand recognition. Don’t forget to
leave space for a linking Table of Contents or a box explaining
what’s inside.

5) Focus on content first - Don’t let fancy graphics and
colourful images distract you from delivering engaging, relevant
content. Develop the content first and ensure the newsletter’s
design supports and highlights your message. When writing,
remember that newsletter articles should be short and direct;
place all of your most important information in the first
sentence or paragraph if you can. If an article requires a more
in-depth approach, write a short newsletter introduction and
summary highlighting the main points of the story, and provide a
link to a more detailed article in your website. This option
will enable you to populate your newsletter with a variety of
quick-read articles, drive traffic to your site while allowing
anyone interested to read on for more information, and build on
the trusted relationship that you have established by delivering
a relevant, interesting and entertaining newsletter.

6) Use active voice - Don’t get lost in passive land! Keep your
sentence structure short, snappy and active. Passive voice can
be tricky to spot; watch your word order, since a passive
construction presents the object first and the subject last. For
example, “ABC Corporation designed the new widgets to improve
efficiency” is a more effective than “The new widgets were
designed by ABC Corporation in an effort to improve efficiency.”
Also when writing, always ask yourself, ‘who cares?’ and ‘why is
this information important to my audience/customers?’ Place
contact and other support information in sidebars, giving your
readers quick visual reference points.

7) Write an attention-grabbing subject line - When distributing
your newsletter by e-mail, your subject line should tie directly
to a specific headline article in your newsletter, and - most
importantly - it must stand out distinctively amidst the
multitude of subject lines in your recipients’ Inboxes. Your
subject line should also give your readers a clear idea of the
main theme and subject matter of your newsletter.
8) Provide opt-in options - Manage subscriber expectations right
from the start by explaining to your readers the editorial focus
and purpose of your newsletter, as well as the value your
readers can expect to receive by receiving and reading it.
Provide a link to back issues to give people an idea of the
general nature of your newsletter, and give them options to
unsubscribe from receiving your newsletter electronically or in
print form. Follow the standard rules that dictate distribution
of responsible permissions-based e-mail practices.

9) Read up on your competition - Reading newsletters produced by
your competitors and other industry participants will help you
generate new ideas, and stay abreast of what people in your
industry are talking about. If your competitor covers a topic of
great importance to your industry, it is perfectly acceptable
for you to cover that topic as well; for best results, wait a
few issues and approach the issue from a completely different
perspective.

10) Seek reader feedback - First, talk to your customers about
the articles you’re developing and ask their permission to
publish their comments in your article. Watch to see how people
scan your newsletter. Talk with a new sampling of readers after
each issue, and conduct regular formal readership surveys.
Monitor click-through rates and use web analytics to help you
track reader response to the articles you present, and use this
information to guide you as you develop future issues. Don’t be
afraid to get a little controversial. Establish a strong
editorial voice and an open forum, and get people talking by
inviting your readers into the dialogue.

Health Tips For Long Plane Rides

Tips to Survive Long Airplane Flights

If you are planning a long airplane flight, then here are some
ways to combat the ill affects of traveling for long periods of
time. A flight might last about 6 to 8 hours on longer
international flights, here are some ways to combat being stuck
in a chair flying at over 30,000 feet for such a long period of
time.

Keep yourself hydrated. Many people hate flying, so the first
thing they do is down as much alcohol as possible. This is not
good, because the air is usually dryer in the airplane and the
affects of alcohol only dry out your body even more. Add air
turbulence and motion sickness and you have the makings of an
extremely uncomfortable flight.

Exercise regularly. It is difficult to sit in one place for such
a long period of time, so the best thing to do is to get out of
your seat and walk around a few minutes each hour. Make sure to
stretch your arms and legs and to roll your head around your
neck. This will make you feel much more flexible and less
lethargic. Make sure you don’t overeat before arriving on the
plane. You don’t want to have to go to the bathroom when you are
sitting on the tarmac or while the seatbelt sign is lit. Plus
you don’t want to have a stomach ache to begin your flight.

So remember follow these quick tips the next time you fly and
you should be feeling great in the air and once you touch down
on the ground.

Any Woman Can Become a Modern Goddess and Attract Good Things With Ease

The Great Goddess may be an ancient echo in the collective
unconscious of the human race, but her legacy still lives in every
woman. Today’s woman is rediscovering her inherent female strengths and creating a new model of feminine power: the “Modern Goddess.”

The 20th
century ushered in the modern era of more freedom and more rights for
women. Another big push came in the 1960’s and 1970’s with the
“Women’s Liberation” movement, which helped to open up more
opportunities for women to work in previously male-dominated fields.

We focused so intently on getting money and position and things
that we lost sight of what it really means to be female. We forgot
that men are meant to serve us. We forgot how to be gracious and
serene. That is why, now that we have entered the 21st century and the
next millennium, it’s time for us to take another leap forward and become
proud examples of the truly Modern Goddess. Cultivating the proper
Goddess attitude
naturally attracts good into your life. Struggle
becomes a thing of the past. With the right attitude you can harness the
flow of good that is your god-given right and ride it gracefully toward
your desires.

The Four Pillars
The Four Pillars of the Modern Goddess are the foundation on which
your new life is built. As you create and cultivate the Four Pillars in
yourself, your life begins to move and change in magical and
mysterious
ways. To be a woman is to be an earthbound vessel for
the unseen power that is the true nature of our reality. That power is
meant to be honored and cherished, as is every woman on this
planet. The Four Pillars give us some simple guidelines for
remembering how beautiful and special each one of us is.

Pillar I: Never Rush.
A Goddess has time for everything that is important to her. She stays
calm and relaxed. If you are stressed out and harried, stop and
take a deep breath. You always have all the time you need if you
believe you do. Learn how to say no. Don’t over-commit
yourself. Live life at your own pace.

Pillar II: Never Worry.
A Goddess knows that she always has everything she needs. Worry is needlessly borrowing trouble from the future. She knows
that things always have a way of working themselves out if we allow
them to. She has a deep and abiding faith that God is her
source and she always has enough.

Pillar III: Receive Graciously.
A Goddess graciously receives all gifts and compliments
with a simple, “thank you.” She never belittles or criticizes herself or her
accomplishments. When someone wants to give you something or help
you, accept the gift with a smile. A Goddess always remembers
that allowing men to assist and serve her is the gift she gives to them.

Pillar IV: Appreciate Continually.
Accept and appreciate all the good that comes to you, especially the little things. Whatever you appreciate increases. Make it a habit
to say, “how usual!” whenever something good happens to you. The
more you express your gratitude, the more good the universe
sends your way.

How Usual
Most people react to something good happening to them as an out-
of-the-ordinary event. How often have you said, “I don’t believe it!” or,
“that’s amazing!” when you receive a delightful surprise. Words and
thoughts have great power, so if your words convey to the
universe that this is an unusual occurrence, it will comply. Your
subconscious will make sure that “it’s amazing” that anything good ever
happens to you.

In our house we have adopted a more positive way of
responding.
My husband and I love to exclaim (often in unison),
“how usual!”
whenever something good happens to either of us
whether it is a parking spot, a good news phone call, or a nice fat check
in the mail. Receiving good is “how usual” in our life because we are in
the habit of mentally creating it. Why not get into the “how usual!” habit
yourself. Let the universe know that receiving good is a regular,
everyday thing for you, too. “How usual!”

Today these Four Pillars are the foundation of my everyday life.
They are all ingrained in me as habits of thinking and action.
Not only do they make daily living a joy, they also make it possible to
attract a great man who thinks the same way. It should be no surprise to
you that my husband has these very same habits and beliefs. You, too,
can attract wonderful people and good things into your life by
adopting the Four Pillars as your own.

Phil Mickelson’s Pebble Beach History & A Treat For Autograph Seekers

The AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am consists of six hour rounds that often take their toll on other golfers, but not Phil Mickelson. Always found in the top golf news stories, he actually enjoys the tournaments while admitting that patience is the key to success. It seems that golf news usually surrounds Mickelson and every turn he makes, but that’s all a part of being one of the top professional golfers in the PGA and in the world.

Many fond memories remain with Mickelson as he recounts previous Pro-Am competitions. One such recollection includes celebrity saxophonist Kenny G, who was an amateur partner with Mickelson at one point. Of course, there are plenty of other reasons that would lend to his fondness of Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, including the fact that he made his professional debut in 1992 at the U.S. Open and ended up winning the longest PGA Tour event in history after a rain delay that put the competition on hold for six months.

In 2005, Mickelson enjoyed one of the best performances of his career as he played a 10-under 62 at Spyglass Hill in California. Known as the second most difficult course in Northern California, this is the site that led Mickelson to a memorable victory. He once again found himself in the golf news spotlight, but that’s not an uncommon occurrence for this veteran of the sport. Recognized as being one of four top 10 players from the world ranking at Pebble Beach, Mickelson finds that sports news and the eyes of the press are always waiting to see his next move.

In addition to making golf news wherever he competes, Mickelson believes in his fans just as they believe in him. A kind autograph signer, both in person and through the mail, he is a popular fan favorite. Golf fans who aren’t fortunate enough to ask in person may request an autograph through the mail. Collectors may request a signed photo or send their own item to be signed. Fans should include a self-addressed stamped envelope and mail their request to:
