There are plenty of people out there in society that have made millions of dollars in profit by taking the time to offer something to other people that can make a positive impact on society as a whole. All of us have our shortcomings and that is what makes us unique. However it is also what causes so much controversy and conflict in our world as well.

Communication is a common barrier in many relationships among families, partners, and co-workers. Those that know how to effectively communicate are often very successful in any venture they choose to pursue. They can offer that information to others and empower them to make positive changes in their own life.

There are millions of dollars spent annually on books, seminars, tests, and counseling sessions in order to help other people learn to effectively communicate. Employers pay for these events so they can reduce the amount of conflict that takes place in their organization. Couples purchase them in order to try to improve their marriage or to get through to their children in a positive but effective manner.

People travel all over the world to offer their knowledge and expertise in the different areas of communication. Many of them have core concepts that they are able to present in a variety of different ways. This allows them to effectively offer the information to the selected group. In most instances those in attendance will feel like the entire dialogue was written just for them.

There is a strong desire for people to be able to give to others because we all want to be productive members of society. Being able to do that and to make a profit at the same time is a great opportunity. It allows people to have a good life of their own and to continue helping people.

Writing self help books is another excellent example of how you can make millions by helping others. Those that want to make changes to their life will embrace the information in these books and implement them. As a result they have the chance to experience a life that is happier and fuller than it has been for them.

Self help books are one of the top selling items online. Many of them can be accessed immediately so the individual doesn’t have to wait for it to be mailed to them. They can make a commitment to move forward in their life based on the opportunity for change. Sometimes people just need the right information to achieve goals they have set for themselves.

There are so many ways to make money by giving up your time to teach others valuable skills such as these. The impact you will have on their lives is very significant and you should be proud of what you have been able to give them. It does not good to tell people how they should act or how they should react to others. However, you can offer them the necessary tools to make effective changes to how they currently handle situations and they will accept them.

A very popular resource for purchasing office supplies such as computers, furniture, hardware and software in addition to copy and print services and much, much more is a store you’ve undoubtedly heard of called OfficeMax. OfficeMax came onto the retail scene in 1988 and has since grown from a single outlet to one largest office products superstore chains in the country.

OfficeMax actually materialized into the largest American office products superstore in operation in terms of the number of stores they opened and their vast geographical coverage. In January 1997, OfficeMax set a national record by exceeding $3 billion in sales making them the fourth company in United States history ever to achieve that amount of success in less than nine years.

It all began on April 1, 1988 in Cleveland, Ohio when OfficeMax was founded by Michael Feuer, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, along with seven other of the company’s associates. The first store opened its doors to the public in Cleveland on July 5th of the same year and by the end of that year, there were a total of three stores in the suburban Cleveland area.

The year 2000 was huge for OfficeMax because during that time, the company implemented their Enterprise Resource Planning software which is the largest program of this type. The software was designed for use in American retailing to provide real-time, integrated information throughout their organization. Also during 2000, OfficeMax combined eCommerce business, catalog operations and its commercial sales groups into what they now call their OfficeMax.com / Direct Business Unit.

OfficeMax also gives back to the communities that helped them achieve their success. In 2000, The OfficeMax Charitable Foundation was established to donate more than $300,000 for worthwhile causes. One foundation the company sponsored was a National Kids N Need Resource Center Cleveland, Ohio which was the first of its kind.

Through its partnerships with companies like Hewlett Packard and introductions of its FurnitureMax, CopyMax and TechMax ventures, OfficeMax provides the public with complete, state-of-the-art services through all of its associations with a supply chain network and high-tech computer system. Presently, you can find an OfficeMax store just about anywhere you travel in the United States. They have over 900 convenient locations throughout America which include operations in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. In 1996, they opened their first international store in Mexico and by the year 2000, a total of 27 OfficeMax (OfficeMax de Mexico) stores were open for business there.

Points to remember when considering a vendor for offshoring American jobs

As with the transfer of any job role and functions, the nature of offshoring (migrating services to a remote location and external services provider to avail a competitive advantage) is also fraught with a certain risk level that comes steadily on the heels of obvious values. A foreign based business owner thus, needs to be aware of potential risks associated with offshoring American jobs (e.g. experience of the vendor, proven level of expertise and reliability, ability to transform business model planning to high level management and optimization, disaster management and security technology of the best grade etc.) to avail best quality services from an overseas vendor.

Business owners keen on offshoring American jobs to developing nations are thus advised to research their chosen vendor and visit them at least once to check out infrastructure, technology and workforce capabilities, besides doing a thorough value and risk assessment.

Pick a vendor based on his knowledge of offshore outsourcing techniques and strategies and how well he can translate your business objectives into a definite, customized business delivery model, not simply the cost-cuts he offers.

If possible, a foreign business owner considering offshoring American jobs should participate in at least one lead group workshop conducted by the vendor to outline the professional talents of his team and work with him to ensure the service provider has the ability to analyze and develop given recommendations into concrete deliverables.

The chosen service provider should combine a number of desirable traits, including complete consultancy and management services support for offshoring American jobs across varied industries and levels, ensure smooth and strategic integration of internal resources with exact evaluation of offshoring process’s viability, guide client on the prioritization of offshorable activities and help select the perfect offshoring model for his business.

Wondering what to get that special outdoor enthusiast this holiday season? New Hampshire-based Jetboil came up with something for campers worried about Jack Frost nipping at their noses.

Founded by outdoorsmen and entrepreneurs Dwight Aspinwall and Perry Dowst, Jetboil has grown into a multimillion dollar business in less than a year. The two were tired of lugging heavy, inefficient stoves when they went camping and decided to design their own.

Campers can now enjoy a quick cup of cocoa around the campfire in under a minute using Jetboil's personal stove, which weighs approximately 15 ounces. Gift-givers this holiday season also can purchase accessories for the stove such as a French press for fresh coffee and pot stabilizers, which adapt the cooking system for use with larger pots and pans.

Growing Holiday Demand

Demand quickly grew for Jetboil's camping stoves after the company received several awards from leading magazines such as Outside, Backpacker, Time and Popular Science. Soon, large retailers such as EMS and REI were placing orders, followed by stores in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Hong Kong and Japan.

Holiday sales at retailers like these can account for 25 percent to 40 percent of annual sales, according to the National Retail Federation. Accordingly, Jetboil's holiday season forecast is in line with the estimate. The company expects sales to jump 50 percent during the holidays.

So how does Jetboil keep up with increased retailer demand during the holiday season?

Keeping Up With Santa's Elves

To help meet retailers' orders without becoming consumed by its own success, Jetboil turned to UPS to pick up its designs and ship them to manufacturers in China.

Samples are made in China, which UPS transports back to the United States for testing. Jetboil then approves the samples and authorizes the manufacturer to make the components. To meet demand for the first product run, UPS ships them on direct flights to the United States.

Throughout the process, Jetboil relies on UPS's suite of software and services to provide visibility to its inbound and outbound shipments. With UPS WorldShip software, Jetboil employees point and click to automatically calculate shipping costs, prepare customs forms and generate labels.

By turning to UPS to handle its shipping, Jetboil has been able to focus on growing its business. "The expertise in shipping internationally isn't where we add value," said Tim Wilson, operations planning director for Jetboil. "So having a partner that does is critical."  - NU

Business franchise refers to the arrangement entered upon by the owner of a certain business with another party who is interested in running same business under its name. In the agreement, the real business owner allows the use of his registered trademark in exchange for some payment.

Business franchising is a strategy a lot of first-time businessmen take because there is lesser risk surrounding the setup. And more often than not, the franchise package includes everything you'll need in launching the business. The business owner provides for raw materials, supplies, equipments, and all promotional materials. And because the business already exists, it becomes easier for the franchisee to build up its customer base.

However, there are some things you should consider before you invest your hard-earned cash on business franchises:

1. A percentage of your profit is paid to the franchisor.

You will be forever under the franchisee agreement for as long as you are using the name of their business. Part of the agreement is to pay the business owner royalties and other related fees. There's no way to go around it.

2. You are allowed to seek support from the franchise owners.

Most business owners are more than willing to provide trainings to their franchisees to minimize errors while operating the business. It is your right as a franchisee to request for meetings with the bosses so they can help you out in certain things you are not very familiar with.

3. The business owner may restrict your choice of territory, suppliers, and employment policy.

Business owners want to have full control of each franchisee's operation and quality of products. Therefore, franchise owners don't really have much freedom when it comes to where they can get raw materials, equipments, and supplies for their business. This also means that it can be a little hard to reduce overhead costs.

These are the things that you should consider before you plunge into the franchise market. Try to determine if business franchising is for you. If ever it is, make sure you go with the company that's tried and tested over the years.

Today, virtually every kind of printer - from photo printers to laser printers to inkjet printers - are incredibly inexpensive. Unfortunately, the toner cartridges and inkjet cartridges that replace the starter cartridges the come with the printer are anything but. If you're in the market for an inkjet printer cartridge or a LaserJet toner cartridge, there are great deals to be had online. However, there are several things you should know before buying toner online.

Understand Your Options

When it comes to laser toner cartridges or inkjet printer cartridges, you have three options: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) cartridges, compatible cartridges, and re-manufactured cartridges. What are the differences? Original Equipment Manufacturer cartridges are those that you find at office supply stores. They are packaged and sold with the printer manufacturer's name on them. Compatible cartridges don't have the branding from the printer manufacturers, but they meet or exceed the manufacturers' specifications for the ink or toner. Re-manufactured cartridges are, essentially, Original Equipment Manufacturer cartridges that have been used, refilled, and cleaned and quality checked.

Although the initial reaction of most people is to buy Original Equipment Manufacturer cartridges, you can save a tremendous amount of money - without sacrificing quality - when you buy compatible cartridges or re-manufactured cartridges.

Know What You Need

As with most types of devices these days, different models of printers have relatively unique cartridge designs. Unfortunately, the lack of standardization means that you have to know the make and model of your printer when you want to buy toner cartridges or ink cartridges. When ordering toner or ink cartridges online, it's important to have this information handy. You don't want to go through the hassle of ordering the wrong cartridge and having to return it for a replacement.

Order From a Reputable Source

With so many ecommerce sites on the Internet, it's sometimes difficult to ascertain which sources for toner and ink cartridges offer exceptional products and service. If you're planning to buy a compatible or re-manufactured inkjet printer cartridge or LaserJet toner cartridge, it's crucial that the company produces or sells high-quality products. An inferior product could, at best, produce poor quality prints, and at worst, damage your printer.

One of the best ways to select a source for toner and ink cartridges is to look for a company that has a high BizRate ranking. A company that gives their customers the opportunity to rate satisfaction through providing feedback to BizRate is clearly committed to customer service. If that same company is BizRate customer certified and receives BizRate's platinum award for customer service, so much the better. Another indicator that a company is reputable is participation in the BBBOnline Reliability Program.

When you understand the differences between the types of toner and inkjet cartridges available, know what you need, and find a reputable company, you'll be all set to save money by ordering toner online.

I'll tell it to you straight:

These million-dollar-a-year fat cats, know squat about their customers!

So they pay 'normal' people like me to tell them the word on the street.

Dear Friend,

If you would like to know how you to can take advantage of this. and make $3500+. per month, this is going to be the most important website you will ever stumble upon.

Here is why:

Fortune 500 Companies Need Me.

A 34 Year Old Work From Home

Mother Of Two

And as if that isn't enough:

They Also Need You!

Each day I help these companies to make millions. I'm not a marketing whiz or an ex sales executive. Actually to be honest I know absolutely nothing about business.

But what I do know about is what I like. The products I buy. And guess what: That's the exact info large companies are willing to pay a premium for.

If they don't know what their average customers needs and wants, they won't have a business come the next season.

So how do they remedy this? Quite simply they pay millions of dollars each month, to normal average people. In return these normal average people just jot down their opinions, and answer questions.

Questions like: How many times per month do you shop for groceries?

I personally do this online. I know people who have the surveys mailed to them. But I myself can logon to the internet, sign in to my account and complete a survey within 5 minutes.

In that time I usually earn $20 - $45. Not bad. With a few of these a day:

I Manage To Earn Around $3000 - $4000 Every Month

I quit from my old job at the postal office. Telling my boss to "Shove It" was the best feeling I've ever had.

Since then my life has changed dramatically. I love it.

In the morning I wake up my son Alex and daughter Jenny. Then as they get ready for school, I head downstairs, and turn on my laptop. Quickly I log into my account and complete a quick survey.

That usually takes no longer than 15 minutes. After that I refresh my account, and love to see $25 - $35 added to my account balance.

Then I'll make sure my kids have a good breakfast, before dropping them off at the local school. A usually stop for a chat with the other moms, before I stroll home again.

I then watch some day time TV while:

Taking a simple, easy online survey - $5 to $75 per survey!

Or

Participating in an online focus group - $50 to $150 per hour!

Or

Trying out new products, everything from shoes to stereos - Keeping the products and getting paid!

Or

Previewing Movie Trailers Online - Then answer a yes/no questionaire (did I like it) for $12 to $35

To do any of these I:

Login and see what's available

Find something which pays a good amount, i.e above $20

Select one I like the look of, and click "add to list"

Complete this survey, or preview the trailer etc then make sure the amount is added to my account balance.

Dear Online Marketer,

Have you ever wished that.....

"Visitors Are Actually Excited To See Your Ads!"

NEW Version 2 Just Released!

Consumers are exposed to hundreds maybe even thousands of commercial messages per day in one form or another -- from the boring, copy-laden radio commercial to the easily skimmed, forgettable newspaper ad, to the billboard on the side of the bus to the logo on the side of the building and finally to those annoying Pop-Ups you see on every other website!

Research from the University of Washington conducted in 1999 stats: “The average American is exposed to 500 to 1,000 commercial messages a day . That's anywhere from 182,500 to 365,000 commercial messages that a person will view this year alone.” And that was way back in 1999!!! Imagine what it probably is today! It's no wonder that people have become "Banner Blind" and constantly block or exit from Pop-ups with their itchy trigger finger.

Isn't there something else? Something that is less intrusive yet more effective. A type of advertisement that makes my customers WANT to see it, instead of Repelling them from your site?

Car leasing may be a good option for those individuals or companies that want to have a new car but want to save some of the money it costs in full car ownership. Car leasing is a way to rent a car over a specified period of time. The car is not owned by the person or company leasing it at any point and at the end of the lease, the car is returned to the dealership or the car leasing company.

There is a deposit associated with car leasing. This initial deposit is non-refundable and is simply a way for the leasing company to protect themselves. After the initial deposit, the person or company leasing the car will pay a monthly amount that has been agreed upon by both the individual and the car leasing company. The term of the lease is usually approximately two or three years however, it is possible to lease a car for a year or even less.

Leasing a car is not the same as taking out a car loan. The largest payment that is required is the initial deposit and that is usually only about one, two or three months total of the monthly lease payments. This allows the person or company leasing to keep their money in a high interest bank account and to simply make the lease payments as part of their monthly living expenses. This can be especially useful to companies that want to lease a company vehicle. They can then take the payments out of operational expenses rather than out of capital expenses.

Because the lease will usually be less than three years, the car will always be covered under warranty and it will not require an MOT. This means that the person or company leasing the car will not need to worry about major repairs. The only things the person leasing the car needs to worry about are routine services such as oil changes and consumable items such as tires. These items are not usually a great expense during the first three years.

Another benefit to car leasing is that a person or company may change their cars every few years. This is beneficial for many reasons. The first reason being that the individual or company will not need to worry about their car breaking down all the time as it gets older and becoming more of a burden rather than an asset. Another benefit to leasing is that the individual or company will get a new car every two or three years.

Changing cars every few years is made so simple by car leasing. It is not necessary to try and sell the car before another car is obtained. Instead, one car is simply given back to the leasing company in exchange for a different car. It can be lots of fun to try out different cars all the time and will save the hassle of major repairs and grief.

There are so many advantages to car leasing it’s easy to see why it’s becoming so popular. An individual or company you can save a lot of money and hassle by simply leasing a car instead of buying it outright.
