Save Money On Apple Computer Products

I hear from a lot of frustrated PC moms who want to switch over to mac, but it’s not in their budgets. While I do not put a price on my peace of mind :-), others must. Which is why I thought I’d let you know about Apple’s education web store.

You can qualify for Apple’s education discount not only if you are a teacher, a student, but also if you are an official PTO officer over at your kid’s school. (That’s me!)

The discounts are on most Apple products including iPods for the kids:-) Another thing they tend to do is run promotions such as buy a mac and get an iPod of your choice for free.

The discounts have been significant enough that I have purchased several macs over the years and now my kids have a computer, and both my husband and I have desktops (for work) and laptops for the bedroom and traveling

Check it out over at Apple’s main site: Apple.com

Have You Written A Testimonial Today?

I wrote a testimonial today for a marketing product which I bought and absolutely loved. Now while it would be nice to write here that I wrote the testimonial strictly because I was “moved to” — that wouldn’t be the entire truth

The entire truth is that when you write a testimonial, chances are that it, along with your URL address, and a photo of yourself will appear front and center on that product’s sales page. That is free exposure and typically free traffic back to your site. Buyers typically want to visit the sites of people who have bought what they are thinking about buying. I know that I absolutely do it!

And it has been working for my business as well. I immediately saw an increase in opt-ins after my testimonial was posted on a popular internet marketing website. I love when free traffic drops by!

So my point here is — have you written a testimonial for the last product or service you purchased today? If not, go do it. It’s a total win-win for everyone, and your business will love you for it.

Adding A Phone Line For Your Home Business

Have you taken a look and noticed how many of your competitors have a customer service phone number listed on their sites? Do you have a phone number listed for customer or client support on your site?

Think about how much it would add to your credibility if someone could call and talk to a human voice. Imagine the sales “objections” you would be able overcome by talking to someone immediately. Even having a phone number on your site period - is a credibility booster — even if customers never use it.

Of course these are some of the problems you may run into…

1. Your phone company charges you some astronomical amount for adding another line in the house

2. You look into one of these live-person type customer service companies - and again big bucks!

3. You use your cell phone for business, but forget while your out at the Gap with the kids to answer it professionally — and uh-oh it’s a potential client! Not a good look.

Well - the solution I have tried and boy do I wish I had a little stake in this company is a new invention called the MagicJack. Basically what it is - is a phone jack that you plug into the USB port of your computer, then plug in your land line phone, and you have phone service. Completely new phone number. Voice mail. Call waiting. Call forwarding. Free local and long distance calling (United States and Canada). Sound quality is great.

What I really like about it is that all you have to do is take the MagicJack with you when you travel, plug it into your laptop, and your phone travels with you. No dropped calls. No monthly bills and fees.

The inventor of MagicJack is offering a free year of service when you buy it for only 40 bucks. After the year, it is only 19.95 a year for unlimited local and long distance calling. Now that is a GREAT investment for you business and practically no cost. Learn more about this great little invention over at: MagicJack.com

Do Not Quote The Associated Press

One of the reasons why I teach my Articology article marketing system is to teach people how to write effective articles without having to resort to plagiarism. And this is the reason why… The Associated Press just put the word out that they are going to start charging people $2.50 per word for quoting their stories — even if you add a link to the original AP story.

Say WHAT!!! You heard me right.

Evidently this is in an effort to stop bloggers from basically swiping their stories and adding a link to them at the end (which no one will click since they already have the information). It’s basically theft. And they aren’t putting up with it anymore. Solution: Now I know that many of you get your ideas for blog content and articles from the AP wire. So basically you need to read the story once, don’t look at it again, and then re-write it in your own words using your own "voice". Avoid linking to them since you will be using your own words — but if you feel so inclined, you can add them as a (*source) for your articles and posts — just be darn sure that you haven’t written your story using their words.

Would You Read Your Favorite Blog On Kindle?

While I love gadgets. I tend to wait out the “first movement” of new gadget frenzy, and swoop in on the second movement when things get a little less expensive. For example, now I’m ready to buy the iphone. It’s faster and cheaper and comes out July 11th. Yea!

But I’m still waiting on the verdict of Amazon’s new portable reading device called a KINDLE. The things that sound great about a kindle are the fact that you can read the morning newspaper, a book, a blog, and other assorted documents on your kindle. And the information is delivered via “whispernet” which basically means wirelessly — but anywhere. You don’t need to be near a wifi hotspot to download your new book. Order it at Amazon, and it instantly downloads to your kindle. Cool huh?

I know what you’re thinking — but what about the feel of paper? The smell of your new book? Reading your favorite blog on a full color screen at home? Picking the newspaper up outside every morning and reading the comic pages (which seem to not be included in your kindle version of newspapers).

Well - you could kind of look at it as a very “Green” way of getting your information fix. Less paper — less trees — bigger forests I don’t know, what do you think? Would you read your favorite blog (like this one:) on kindle?

Internet Business Tax Deductions

I was talking about taxes recently and I thought I should mention a great resource I found for helping you file your taxes and claim all the tax deductions that you are entitled to as a home-based business owner. Remember — if you filed an extension this year (like me:), it’s not too late to use this.

NitroTaxHelper is easy to use software that eliminates the tax nightmare of your internet business AND helps you claim every tax deduction you are legally entitled to resulting in a potential windfall of tax savings. Let me know how it works out for you.
