Getting what you need for your newborn without going broke

It’s been said time and again that babies cost a pretty penny. Although little Brad or Jennifer won’t hop out of the birth canal and start demanding servants and expensive electronic gadgets, they do represent some additional expenses that can be wallet-draining when considered all at once. Fortunately the expenses do not have to be incurred all at once – even an unplanned pregnancy allots nine months to plan and gradually deal with the expenses associated with procreation. There are several steps that expectant parents can take to help cut down on some of the major expenses that are expected.

Baby Showers

A baby shower is a time honored tradition in which expectant mothers get a bunch of free stuff from their friends and family members. Don’t be afraid or ashamed to take advantage of this situation. A decent shower can often cover most of the immediate baby layette needs. Usually someone will offer to hold a shower for the expectant mom, but she shouldn’t be afraid to drop hints to close friends and family or even come right out and ask for a shower.

Buy Diapers in Advance

When is the best time to start buying diapers and other such essentials? The moment after conception would be ideal, but since most women don’t know that they’re expecting until weeks or even months later, you may have to settle for “as soon as you find out.” Start adding diapers to your regular shopping list and try to pick up one or two packages each week. Varying between size one and two is a good idea, with perhaps a pack or two of the newborn size. If you have a bigger baby you don’t want to be stuck with lots of newborn size diapers that you’ll never use. If the baby is “normal” size it is easy to buy newborn sizes while you need them and rest easy in the knowledge that you’re already stocked up on the next sizes up. A lower cost alternative to this is to use a cloth diaper service if you can find one still in operation in your area.

Get Help & Buy Used Whenever Possible

For large baby needs like cribs, playpens, and strollers, try and get the help of family members with these purchases. Proud grandparents to be are usually more than happy to help with items like these. A lot of money can be saved by purchasing these items second-hand as well. If a used crib, stroller, or playpen is in good condition, there is no reason not to buy it over a new one. The only item you probably don’t want to buy used is a car seat. These items must meet safety requirements and there is no way to be sure that a used one measures up to current standards.

A little planning and thinking ahead is all it takes to save serious money on most of your initial and ongoing baby needs. They real key to setting up your baby layette on a budget is to start as soon as possible.

Skin Care Tips: Online Product Shopping Check List

 free  Comments Off on Skin Care Tips: Online Product Shopping Check List
Nov 162020
 

There are so many good skin care products online, you’d be missing out if you didn’t look into buying your products via the web. But, as with everything on the web, it’s buyer beware: there’s plenty of junk thrown in with the good stuff. Here’s what to look for and what to look out for:

Skin Care Tips on Product Price.

Don’t fall for the typical website trick of providing a low purchase price and then tacking on a substantial shipping and handling fee–or offering free shipping but then charging a “handling” or “processing” fee.

Skin Product Size

· Any product listing has to say, at bare minimum, how many grams, ounces, or CCs the product contains.

· However, it should also give you some idea of how many uses you will get out of the product. Ten ounces of one product might last 30 days, while ten ounces of another might barely last the week.

· If the product listing doesn’t provide this information, it should at least say how much is a recommended dose, and how much to use per day or week. Then simply divide the total size of the product by the usage size to get an idea. For instance, if you need to use half an ounce of product per day, a 16-ounce container will likely last a month.

Skin Care Products’ Ingredients

At bare minimum, the product listing should show all the ingredients listed on the actual product label, both active ingredients (the ingredient that actually performs whatever treatment the product is supposed to provide), as well as inactive ingredients (ingredients used for filler, textures, scents, and other materials that are only there to help sell the product rather than fulfill its mission).

The site should also explain in plain English what each ingredient does. You should do a quick web search on one or two of the ingredients you don’t recognize, to see if the product listing’s explanation of what the ingredient is accurate or if it’s distorted.

For instance, companies sometimes try to give the impression that ingredients that are really only used as colorants or preservatives provide some skin care benefit. They do this to mask the fact that the essential active ingredient in the product may be the same as dozens of other products on the market.

Guarantees

Don’t take any guarantees at face value until you’ve checked them out. A money-back guarantee may hide the fact that it would simply be too much expense or trouble to return the product.

For instance, if the price of the product is ten dollars plus five dollars shipping and handling, and the money-back guarantee requires you to ship back the unused portion to get it, you will have spent five dollars on shipping, meaning you are only really getting five dollars back. Then of course there’s the original shipping and handling fee, which is often not included in the money-back guarantee.

Faced with putting the gunk back in the jar, repacking it, mailing it back, and waiting for a meager refund, many people will simply give up–the money-back guarantees of many sub-par products depend on this phenomenon.

In short, if the money-back guarantee requires you to return the unused product and/or does not cover the original shipping and handling fee, it’s not much of a guarantee.

An Insider Guide To The Strategy, Tactics & Psychology Of Giving Gifts

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – -

FREE!

It’s one of the most powerful words in advertising and marketing. Grabs your attention. Gets you curious. Stimulates your desire.

Even if you were NOT interested to start with!

Just think about it. How many pieces of software, ebooks and reports clutter up your hard drive. And you only ever downloaded it because it came at no cost – as a gift.

So why do marketers give away stuff? And how can you profit from giving away things too? You’ll learn exactly why, how and when to use gift give-aways to grow your business – and make new friends.

Always Give Value – Always

We live in a cynical world – especially on the Internet. People are critical. They demand high value.

Offer it – and you become their trusted friend, ally, go-to person. Fail to, and you’ll do yourself great harm.

So if you plan to give something away as a gift, make sure it has high value. A simple rule of thumb is – If you can’t sell it, don’t try gifting it away.

Why does this matter? Look, one of the major reasons for gift-giving as a business building and marketing tactic is to lay the foundation for a trusting, lasting relationship with your prospects.

Their perception of you, your business and your brand begins with your gift. You don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression. So make it your best – by giving high quality gifts.

Sell Them – Even If You’re Giving It Away

A big mistake beginners make is to assume that just because you’re giving it away, folks will fall over themselves to grab it.

Wrong.

You need to sell them on the value… and then let them have it at no cost.

Highlight the effort you put into creating it. How many hours of research went into it? How much money did you spend? How many people were involved? What were their skills, qualifications, efforts?

Tell them how they will benefit from it. What will the product do for your prospects? How will their lives be better by using/reading/applying what you’re giving away?

Show them just how valuable it is – and then give it away. That packs a powerful punch!

But why give stuff away in the first place?

Profit Strategies From Gift Giving

There are many ways you, as the gift-giver, can profit from your efforts apart from the intangible benefits like gaining goodwill and building positive buzz around your brand.

* Make the gift a pre-selling tool for your main product. It can educate your prospect about the value of your primary product or service. It can offer a sample, a trial or a glimpse of the power of what you are selling. It can raise hopes, open avenues of possibility, reveal potential advantages – and bring prospects back to do business with you.

* Make ‘in-context’ offers. A short report about avoiding the pitfalls of cheap web hosting can recommend a specific web host. A guide explaining how a particular tactic is executed can mention a software or service that makes the process simple or faster.

* Build in ‘back-ends’. You could give away a complete product – and sell them more of it, for a longer period, or another related product that enhances the value of what you gave them. Or you could give away a basic version – and offer to sell a deluxe or premium.

* Make it viral. By giving away high quality gifts – and offering recipients an incentive to pass it along – you’ll grow a monstrous marketing machine that will explode your business and profits as it keeps growing and growing.

* Go wide and far. Recruit others to help you give away stuff. Find affiliates and joint venture partners. Make it attractive for them to participate in giving away YOUR gifts.

As long as you have a mechanism in place to identify and follow up with recipients of your gift, you can expand your efforts extensively – and the more you give away, the more you will benefit in the long run.

I hope this short article has given you some ideas to use when you plan the next give-away. And please let me know about it – I LOVE gifts 🙂

Inexpensive Christmas Gifts

Christmas is a time of joy, piece, and giving. It is also a time of being
broke. Adults often think that the idea of making Christmas gifts is only for
children who do not yet have their own money to buy gifts. However,
with a little bit of ingenuity, some clever shopping, and a fair amount of
free time, you can make some very grown up do it yourself Christmas
gifts.


The first step is to spend an afternoon at a craft store, and see what
sticks out at you as things you would be comfortable sitting down to
work on. Some very basic, but very nice final product ideas include:


(1) Knit caps. If you have time to pick up crocheting or knitting,
Christmas is a perfect time of year to put that talent to good use. You
can make knit caps, mittens and scarves for men and women alike on your
holiday shopping list. With all of the different available colors and textures
in yarns today, it is virtually limitless what you can do to personalize a
knitted gift. For some extra special fun, you can work in some fun beads
fairly easily to jazz up a more basic design.


(2) Pick up some shadow box frames at the art store, and make some
personal home decorations. For example, if you have someone on your list
who is a big fan of Beethoven, you can create a shadowbox picture with
some music notes in the background with a copy of a Beethoven
songbook and maybe a dollhouse piano in the frame. Stuff like the
dollhouse furniture as well as lots of great designs for backgrounds and
the like can usually be found in the scrapbook section of your favorite
craft store.


(3) Jewelry is a great personal do it yourself gift. There are all different
skill levels for creating your own jewelry, and lots of different pieces that
you can purchase to make your gift as professional looking and beautiful as
you want. If you go to a good bead store, they will have lots of different
settings on which to put earrings and a great selection of different and
interesting beads for you to use. The best part though, is that they have
expertise. With a little bit of help from the experts, you can make
beautiful, one of a kind jewelry for less than a dollar a piece.


(4) Ornaments are a great way to celebrate the Christmas season. There
are so many different ways to create your own unique ornaments, that
you could make a different type of ornament for nearly everyone on your
list. You could cross-stitch some ornaments, hand paint a box of regular
glass ornaments, create egg shell ornaments with glitter or paint, make
picture frame ornaments, bead Holiday shapes with pipe cleaners and
pony beads, string some Hawaiian flowers for a funky tree garland, or just
put a glittery hook on a plain ornament bulb. The best part about this
gift, is that you get to see it every year on your loved one¡¯s Christmas
tree.

Colonic Irrigation …for your life

 free  Comments Off on Colonic Irrigation …for your life
Nov 122020
 

We’re going through some big changes in our household at the moment. We’re having our office rearranged along with two bedrooms. We’re a tidy family and I assumed this would be an easy job. A few new bits of furniture, a few things moved about from here to there and – hey presto!

But that wasn’t the case!

Once we begun we realised that we actually hadn’t been as organised as we thought. We discovered we had collected clutter we hadn’t consciously realised it was there. It’s reminded me how easily clutter creeps into our lives. Before you know it’s become a drain on your energy.

That’s why I recommend a colonic irrigation for your life.

“But I like my ‘things'”, you might say.

Often we do become emotionally attached to things. My partner’s old desk, which was in one of the rooms we are rearranging, is old and tatty, it’s uncomfortable for him to sit at for any length of time and we don’t have the room for it either. I suggested we should pass it onto someone else that could get use from it.

But this brought up something interesting. You might recognise it!

He was reluctant to let the desk go. He told me how the desk had cost £500 a decade ago, that it is classic furniture and how it might come in useful one day. Finally he told me how he’d ‘been through a lot with that desk’.

Ah, emotions! Do you attach emotions to your clutter?

Of course you still have those memories without the physical thing but the ‘thing’ is the direct link, like a key to a door to the memory. Sometimes it’s lovely to have a key to a wonderful memory, other times they become unnecessary or even have negative emotions become attached (after you’ve bumped into it so many times or moved it out of your way to dust so often). And of course if we kept some sort of physical token on every occasion we wouldn’t be able to move in our environment.

So why bother de-cluttering?

Most of us would probably agree that a cluttered environment isn’t the nicest environment to thrive in. In my 16 years of coaching I’ve found that physical clutter is often a reflection of someone’s mind. If you’re anything like me you want to keep your mind focused on the great stuff you want to manifest not the clutter that you set your eyes on whilst glancing around. I’ve also found that clearing out the clutter creates the space in your mind, like a cleanse enabling you to think clearly, things run smoother in your life. That’s why I’ve included a de-cluttering exercise is in my home-study programme as well as in my one to one coaching and workshop.

If you’d like to explore these visit www.unstoppablelife.com

Another great reason for de-cluttering is to create space for all the wonderful, positive things you desire to come to you. How can things come to you if your life is already full of stuff?

Of course there are other sorts of clutter too. Things you haven’t communicated to someone that continues to bother you, childhood issues, relationship baggage, to name a few… These need clearing up.

Clutter came up at our CommunitySoul group last week. One lady said her motto was ‘if you don’t love it and don’t use it – bin it!’ Think of the number of times in a week you bring something you’ve bought or acquired into the house and compare that with the number of times you take things out of the house.

Even if, like me, you consider yourself to be a clutter free, organised person it’s worth having a regular clear out. Think of it as a colonic irrigation for the mind and for life. Have a good clear out!

Network Marketing Training- The Top 10 MLM Tools You will use in Network Marketing

by Doug Firebaugh

We went over the reasons for using tools in an earlier article, and this mlm training module will go over the 10 tools that you will be using hopefully on a regular basis.

I have found over the years that the distributors who use the mlm tools regularly and with mastery, have larger and more powerful organizations for the most part.

Do you want a powerful group and a large number of people? Than you need to learn the 10 tools and then choose 3 or 4 of them and master them, but you must learn to be equipped to use what we at PassionFire call the “Master Tool”–which is number one:

1)MLM Tools -The Telephone.

The telephone is the MLM Master tool that all millionaires in this business use…they not only have mastered the use of the phone, but teach their people to do the same thing.

The telephone is the most time EFFECTIVE tool there is.

INFERNO Secret:

The telephone will help you master your time and business, if you master it.

Many people have “phone-phobia,”and I am amazed that they can talk to anyone on the phone about most anything, but when it comes to this network marketing business, they freeze up and many cannot do it.

You need to find some good training for the phone, talk to your sponsor and see what he/she recommends…and PassionFire will have several modules on intense telephony…(training how to master the phone).

2)MLM Tools-The Voice Mail

IN MLM, You need to set up a Voice mail system and utilize it to catch and retrieve messages that you would have missed.

If you are doing this business right, than you will need a VM system to stay on top of your business. The telephone company has one available, and also check with your company to see if they have a corporate sponsored system that you can use as many mlm companies do, and I highly encourage companies to do so.

Put a short message on you VM, and make it no longer than a minute. Mmany people leave the name of their company, many don’t, I never did, but do what you think is best for you and your group.

Also, make sure you can retrieve VM messages from out of town…this will become Important once your group starts to grow….

3)MLM Tools-Three Way Calling.

This is the SECOND MASTER Tool. This is almost as important as the telephone. What is 3 way calling?

It is put on your phone by the phone company, and it allows you to call someone, put them on hold, dial another number, than click the first call you made over, and you have 3 people on the line at once! You, your first call, and your second call, like a “Mini Conference Call.”

This allows you to introduce your sponsor to your warm market over the phone and let someone who is more experienced than you to talk to your folks, and you learn at the same time.

You will learn how to do HOT 3 ways with PassionFire, and there will be several trainings you can read on how to master the 3 way.

By the way, 3 way calling is one of the most wrongly used tools in MLM, and you will learn how to use right and create a magnetic phone call.

4)MLM Tools- Audios.

Audios, or cassettes and CDs, are a great tool that can help introduce the concept and message of your company to the marketplace. It is a very simple thing to use, and pretty inexpensive usually.

The audio, will within a short time frame, will give enough information to see if the prospect is interested either in your products and services, or the business. It will help bridge the gap between the new distributor, who is learning the business, and the prospect, who wants a professional presentation, the audio does that.

Interactive CDs have become very popular, and there are great ones out there. Whatever you choose to use, just use it a lot!

Either way, use the audios all the time as they are duplicatable, and they work the same everytime as you are learning the network marketing business.

5)MLM Tools- Videos.

Videos are popular, but not as much as they were in the early 90s…..videos help to tell your story from a visual and audio standpoint, but understand that videos are watched less than audios are listened to.

There is an exception.

Streaming videos and audios are becoming VERY popular on the internet, and many websites have them online, and the quality of the videos online are improving daily it seems and you may want to check it out.

Make sure your video you use, as audios too, are NOT boring. You want a video that is hip, and moves, and is exciting.

6) MLM Tools-Self -Replicating Websites.

Many MLM companies today have what are called “Self Replicating Websites,” like you have probably with your company. it is a website that allows you to have your own personal web page, and usually you can put your picture and a note from you on it to personalize it.

I highly recommend you get one, as they are very affordable today, and it gives you a place where people can go online and check out who you and your company are.

Make sure your website is professional looking. There is nothing that will turn a prospect off quicker than a sloppy and unprofessional web page.

7) MLM Tools-Brochures.

Brochures are a must in todays world. They not only visually can tell your story, but also can tell it thousands of times when you are not there.

You can give them out, mail them, and even use it as a presentation. They normally are 4 color, and look professional, and they usually can be purchased from your network marketing company.

Make sure you use them, and use them often and train your folks top do the same thing.

8) MLM Tools-Presentation Book.

This is a MUST for face to face presentations. I is simply a “flip book” that you use and you flip pages to explain about the MLM company, products, and Comp Plan.

You can make your own with the brochures your company has, and put the pages in clear plastic sleeves, and then put it in a 3 ring binder.

What has become popular are “Mini Flip charts” that are about the size of your hand, and can be fit in a pocketbook and pulled out to do an ‘instant” presentation anywhere. You simply flip the pages as you read them. Most do about a 5 minute presentation…

9) MLM Tools- Email.

This tool has become invaluable the last 5 years in ALL businesses, including MLM. And most network marketing companies today have their own email program, so check into it and see…

If not, you can get free email many places, including:

http://www.yahoo.com

http://www.msn.com

http://www.email.com

These are just a few. See what you can find and get you and email account. It will become a source of incredible communication for you and your business.

10) MLM Tools- Business Cards and Stationary.

You MUST have network marketing business cards if you are going to be in any business today, especially in MLM. You must have your name, your phone number, and email on it, as it is a COMMUN ICATION tool. It lets people know how to get in touch with you.

Make your mlm cards professional looking, but don’t over do the info on it. A cluttered and “busy” card can look unprofessional. See your upline to see if the company has their own cards, and see how much they are. You can get free business cards on the web as well. See your sponsor for that.

It is the same for stationary. Make it clean and professional looking. Not a lot of stuff that makes it look cluttered. It helps to also to match your business cards as that is what we call “Coordinated Power.”

If you want your picture on the cards and stationary…fine. It will cost you a little more.

Those are the top 10 tools…are there more you can use?

SURE!

But these are the main ones you will use to build your netrwork marketing business….

Learn to master 3 of them…make sure the Telephone and 3 Way calling are 2 of them in your MLM and Network Marketing business!

blessings…doug

An Informative Home Gym Review

 free  Comments Off on An Informative Home Gym Review
Nov 102020
 

There are several well-known manufacturers of home gyms worth mentioning. While all have their advantages and disadvantages, the following home fitness gyms are particularly noteworthy. The reviews will focus on the universal gyms that the companies manufacture.


Weider Home Gyms Review
The Weider Crossbar (formerly called the Crossbow) is a universal gym that uses sturdy but bendable bows to create resistance. The range of resistance is from 5 pounds to 240 pounds, with an available upgrade that increases the amount of resistance to 440 pounds. The Weider Crossbar sells for around $500.


Pros: The Weider Crossbar is relatively inexpensive and has a wide range of exercises that it can be used for.


Cons: It takes a long time to put together and some of the suggested exercises are uncomfortable and impractical.


Gold’s Gym Home Gyms Review
The most popular Gold’s Gym home gym is the Power Flex. This is a universal gym that uses flexible bows to provide resistance. The maximum resistance is 210 pounds, with an available add-on that increases the maximum to 410 pounds. The price range for the Power Flex is between $500 and $900.


Pros: The Power Flex includes a rowing station, is capable of doing 65 different exercises, and folds to fit in a 2’by 3′ space.


Cons: It is difficult to adjust the resistance level and the manufacturers provide poor customer service.


Tuff Stuff Home Gyms Review


The CFM-555 is the best-known home gym made by Tuff Stuff. This is a universal gym with a single weight stack. The CFM-555 sells for around $1200.
Pros: The CFM-555 features easily operated range of motion device, a contoured seat back that is functional and comfortable, and a wide range of possible exercises.


Cons: It is large and relatively hard to move. There was no mention of any way to add resistance to the CFM-555.


Hoist Home Gyms Review


The Hoist Multi Gym H-100 is a well-respected high-end universal gym with a suggested retail price of $1500. The Multi Gym H-100 features a single weight stack.


Pros: The Multi Gym H-100 is well constructed and durable. It has a multitude of possible exercises and a sleek, space saving design.


Cons: It is expensive and there is no way to add resistance beyond the single weight stack.


Marcy Home Gyms Review


The Marcy MWM 1800 has dual 100 pound weight stacks to allow two people to exercise at once. It has the capability of doing over 20 different exercises. The Marcy MWM 1800 retails for about $400.


Pros: The MWM 1800 is a good value for its price and fits in a corner.


Cons: There was only a 50-pound resistance add-on mentioned and the MWM is difficult to assemble.


Powerhouse Home Gyms Review


The Powerhouse PH-1300 is a mix between a universal gym and a free weight home gym. It has the set up of a universal gym, but the user has to supply the weight rack. It costs about $350 plus the costs of weights.


Pros: The PH-1300 can have as much as 500 pounds added to it. It is inexpensive and relatively lightweight.


Cons: The weights must be bought separately and the cables that hold the weights break easily.


Conclusion:


Any of the products mentioned in the home gyms review could be a good choice for consumers looking to exercise at home. People who are looking to do light exercise could choose a smaller, inexpensive and less complex home gym, while people who are fully committed to build strength would be better advised to buy a larger home gym with more features. The main point to keep in mind is that there is a home gym on the market for everyone.
