This tells what you need to know about Gold.

People who have been looking at the market 

behind gold recently  know that this is a great way 

to get extra money from the interest. 

Clearly, it is important to learn as much 

as you can to succeed with gold trading. 

Continue reading to find out more.

Getting started.

Use caution when buying your gold. 

Make sure that you are buying from a reputable seller. 

You can learn who you can trust by searching 

the Better Business Bureau website 

and other similar resources. 

If you attempt to buy your gold online, 

pay special attention to the seller's history.

Buying & Selling.

Before selling your gold to an establishment, 

make sure that they are a reputable seller. 

Check with your Better Business Bureau 

to make sure that they have given fair prices to people. 

You don't want to sell your gold to someone who 

will not give you the full value of the 

precious gold you're selling.

You need to know what you have before 

you go to sell it. 

Higher karats equals higher gold density 

and more value. 

Buyers who do not have a good reputation 

may try to take advantage of sellers 

who don't know exactly what they have. 

For example, twenty-four karat gold is almost 

pure gold so it is worth way more than fourteen karat gold.

Investing

If you're interested in investing in jewellery

 made of gold for someone other than yourself, 

make sure that you have the ability to return it 

for a full refund if necessary. 

You need a guarantee on any gold you buy. 

If that happens, you want to be able to send 

the jewellery back and get your money back as well.

You don't have to physically own gold 

to invest in gold. 

Check out mutual funds that invest specifically in gold. 

Also look at mutual funds that invest heavily 

in commodities in general with a 

concentration in gold. 

Look at companies such as Karatbars International 

who will also store your gold for you. 

This makes investing in this sector a lot easier to handle for many.

Online.

Be wary when buying gold from online 

precious metal dealers. 

There is a lot of fake gold for sale on the internet, 

so it pays be cautious when buying investment 

precious metals online. 

Many fake gold bullion bars are almost indistinguishable 

from real gold bullion bars, as many fake gold bars 

are coated with real gold despite the fact that their insides are fake.

Summary.

Everyone at this point probably realizes 

that a good way to keep your investments safe 

is by placing your financial savings 

in the gold market rather than the Banks!  

It is worth finding out as much as you can, 

before you start, but with the financial 

institutions fluctuating so much, 

gold is your best investment! 

I hope these introductory points help you in your quest.

As always I wish you success in all you do.

Some Video Marketing Tips

Video marketing is emerging as one of the hottest tools 

used by businesses to increase sales and profits.

This article contains some video marketing advice 

that you can use to improve your business. 

If you implement these video marketing strategies 

you are sure to enjoy more success.

Why video?

Use video marketing if you want to stay 

connected to your audience. 

Request your viewers to send questions 

they may have concerning your products 

or general industry questions. 

Then, attempt to answer these questions 

as best as you can. 

If you need to generate some interest, 

consider giving people a chance to win 

a free product if they send you a question.

Method.

One good way to make a marketing video 

that gets attention is to show people 

how your product or service works. 

You can have a video along with 

the frequently asked questions 

section of your website. 

This may just help you get less people 

asking questions so you have more 

time to work on your Business.

Frequency.

Be regular and consistent with 

your video publishing. 

Make the effort to create videos 

on a regular basis for posting. 

Keep them simple, real and interesting. 

It can have a great impact on your 

business when customers see you 

regularly promoting your business. 

Getting your message out 

to your customers is the key to success.

Marketing.

When using videos to market your business, 

be sure to add a link to your website. 

If someone views your video and is 

interested in your company, 

more information will be just one click away. 

These links can be added either 

in the video description, 

or in a hovering caption added to your video. 

However, you do it, make sure that the link 

is easily visible and always kept up to date.

Making videos.

If you want to create videos of yourself 

talking to your audience, 

keep in mind that your appearance 

and diction are important. 

Take the time to look professional, 

pick the right clothes, 

they don’t have to be formal, just smart. 

Make sure the lighting works to your advantage 

and do not hesitate to do another take 

if you think it’s not right; 

however I have found that doing them just once 

is often best and comes over as more natural!

Finally.

As I mentioned earlier in this Blog, 

implementing an intelligent video 

marketing campaign is one of the most effective 

ways to improve your business 

and boost profits. 

By applying the advice in this Blog 

you should be able to dramatically 

increase sales. 

so, don't wait, get started today!

As always I wish you success in all you do.

How to Boost Your Business with Social Media.

Social networking has many benefits that could help you 

boost your sales. 

The most popular of the social media sites 

have millions of people and businesses signed up, 

with more joining every day. 

Here are some helpful tips on how you can 

use social media to your advantage.

To start.

Create an open forum in which you allow customers

to be part of your creative process. 

You will be surprised at how well your customer base 

can help you brainstorm an idea, 

create the "blueprint", 

and lay out the best implementation of the idea. 

When you have this kind of input coming 

from your customers, it is safe to assume 

they will buy into you when you’re launched.

Be consistent.

Make consistent appearances 

on your social media site. 

Make sure that you write regularly, 

this will cause people to want to visit 

your page often so they can keep up 

to date with your posts. 

Make sure what you write about 

is relevant and factual. 

No one wants to read random 

information, it should pertain to your business.

Quality.

Develop quality content targeted 

for social media. 

If you are just haphazardly 

flinging words, advertising or any number 

of mundane snippets at your customers, 

then you are wasting your time 

and losing their business. 

Be as concerned about your social content 

offerings as you are for the content on your business site.

Pictures.

Try adding pictures to your social media site. 

People get a better understanding 

of a product when they can literally see it. 

And, when people understand your product or service, 

they are more likely to purchase it. 

You do not need to have too many pictures, 

just a few should do the job.

Find out.

To make sure your social marketing campaign 

is reaching your customers, 

find out where they congregate. 

Are many of them on Facebook 

or do they prefer Twitter? 

Depending on your niche, 

you might be better off looking 

at LinkedIn or even YouTube. 

Poll your customers and find out 

where they spend their internet hours. 

Pitch your efforts there.

Linking.

Try using linking applications 

on Twitter to post to your other 

social media profiles at the same time. 

These linking applications 

are a huge time saver. 

When you post a message on Twitter, 

it will automatically post the same message 

on your Facebook, YouTube, and Google+ profiles, 

so you don't have to sign into 

all of them to post the same content.

It’s worth it.

Social media marketing can help anyone. 

Whether you've just become a business owner 

or you're new to your site,

social media is a great tool to have. 

I hope these tips help you 

whether you are just starting 

or have been at it for a while 

and need a refresher. 

I’m sure you will see improved results.

Some useful Facebook Marketing Tips for Your Business

Most people in society have used Facebook at some stage 

for entertainment, personal or business purposes. 

It's hard to argue that Facebook can't or won't enhance 

your business or service. 

Become acquainted with Facebook marketing 

and use it to your advantage by reading my tips 

in this Blog and creating a page today!

Start

If you're having trouble getting followers, 

you can offer a sweepstakes in return for their "Like". 

Just place the sweepstakes in a tab on your 

company's page and get them to fill it out 

with their email address, specifying that 

only those who Like your page 

will be eligible for the contest.

Advertising

While you want to advertise your products, 

this should not be the only content that is present 

on your Facebook page. 

You should share any information 

that you feel is relevant to your business. 

If people think that making money 

is your only goal, they will 

be hesitant to work with you.

Encourage and Entice.

Try having a contest to increase followers 

on your Facebook page. 

People love to have the chance to win something. 

If you offer incentives, like additional entries 

into the contest for sharing, 

then you will not only give your current followers 

something of value, but also increase your 

visibility when they share your contest.

Content is king.

Choose updates wisely. 

Subscribers will lose interest quickly 

if the content you share isn't valuable. 

They want to read something interesting 

or that entertains them. 

Facebook Insights is another tool 

that you can tap into to increase customer satisfaction.

Communication.

Don’t forget to put contact information 

on your business's Facebook page. 

This should include the name of your business, 

your phone number and the address of your business. 

If a person is interested in what they see 

on your Facebook page, 

it's crucial that they have your 

contact information to learn more.

Looks.

Make sure your Facebook page looks great. 

Appearance is important in marketing. 

If your page looks uninteresting, 

people are less likely to want to visit it. 

Make sure it looks good and is easy 

to explore and navigate. 

Choose a profile picture that looks appropriate 

and covers enough of your page.

Over to you.

If you have a Facebook page for your business 

or service already, 

you might not be using it in a way 

that can render the most benefit. 

Make sure that you are using this popular 

marketing tool to the best of your ability. 

Remember my tips in this Blog 

and apply them as soon as you can!

Article Marketing Can Bring You Site Traffic

Article marketing is a potentially very profitable opportunity 

that doesn't require going to a job 

and spending forty hours a week at a desk 

working for someone else. 

But, as with anything, it can be a tricky field to get into.

Read on for some of my tips and advice 

that make article marketing easier to do and understand.

Write guest blog posts

By writing blogs for others in your field, 

you gain access to their readers and make 

them prospective buyers of your products or services. 

Remember to include a link to your site 

somewhere in the article so they can visit 

your site if they'd like. 

Guest blogs also allow you to show yourself 

as a competent voice in the field, as well as a skilled writer.

The urge to flood indexes with copies of the 

same article must be resisted. 

It's true that there are many indexes 

where marketers can post their articles. 

Posting the same article to hundreds of directories 

just makes you look like a spa**er. 

If you do this, search engines will discount 

your links and lower your ranking.

How To

Good article marketers know how 

to strike a balance between article quality 

and speed of article release. 

Readers, website visitors, and customers 

all have short memories. 

It is vital to give them a regular stream 

of fresh content to maintain their interest 

and keep them aware of the products 

and services being marketed.

Writing can be a good way to earn income 

for one’s personal finances. 

Using the internet to sell ones writing 

such as, how to guides or short stories, 

can produce a return for a low to free start-up costs. 

You can also take things you may have already written,

for school or fun, to save time.

Write With Confidence

For maximum article marketing efficiency, 

the experienced article writer will 

complete all the necessary research 

before he or she sits down to start writing. 

Using reference material for quotes or figures

 is fine, but the learning necessary 

to write with confidence should be 

complete before the writing begins. 

This makes the writing faster and 

keeps the article focused.

The complexity and challenge of article marketing 

was alluded to earlier in this piece. 

Hopefully now that you've read some ideas, 

article marketing is no longer as daunting to you. 

Keep what you have learned here 

in mind and you can start down 

the path with comfort, confidence and ease.

Credit Card Tips you Should Know.

Some people find dealing with credit cards 

can be a real challenge. 

However, if you have the right guidance, 

credit card issues will be 

much less of a burden on your life. 

Here are several tips to help anyone 

understand more about the credit card industry.

Safety.

Be sure that you only use 

your credit card on a secure server, 

when making purchases online 

to keep your credit safe. 

When you input your credit card information 

on servers that are not secure, 

you are allowing any hacker to access your information. 

To be safe, be sure that the website 

starts with the "https" in its url.

Be Realistic.

If possible, pay your credit cards 

in full, every month. 

Use them for normal expenses, 

such as, petrol and groceries and then, 

pay off the balance at the end of the month. 

This will build your credit and help 

you to gain rewards from your card, 

without accruing interest or sending you into debt.

Security.

Never give out your credit card 

number to anyone, 

unless you are the person that has 

initiated the transaction. 

If someone calls you on the phone 

asking for your card number 

in order to pay for anything, 

you should ask them to give you 

a way to contact them, 

so that you can arrange the payment at a better time.

An important aspect of smart credit card 

usage is to pay the entire outstanding balance, 

each and every month, whenever possible. 

By keeping your usage percentage low, 

you will help keep your overall credit score high, 

as well as, keep a substantial amount 

of available credit open for use in case of emergencies.

Affordability.

Take the time to play around with numbers. 

Before you go out and put a pair of expensive shoes 

on your credit card, 

sit with a calculator and figure out the interest costs. 

It may make you reconsider 

the idea of buying those shoes 

that you think you need!

Knowledge.

Keep an eye on your credit cards 

even if you don't use them very often. 

If your identity is stolen, 

and you do not regularly monitor 

your credit card balances, 

you may not be aware of this. 

Check your balances at least once a month. 

If you see any unauthorized uses, 

report them to your card issuer immediately.

Informed.

As I said at the beginning, 

some people have a hard time understanding 

credit cards use at first. 

However, with more information, 

they can make better informed 

and suitable choices 

relating to their credit card decisions. 

Follow this advice and you will ensure 

a more successful approach to managing 

your own credit cards and your finances.

Try A Different Advertising Platform - Use Social Media.

Social media platforms have broken through the barrier 

and created a perfect way for new or established 

businesses to reach the masses. 

It removes the boring feel of general text advertisements 

and offers interactive possibilities that will engage your audience. 

You should learn to utilise social media marketing 

to the best of your ability and find a way 

for you and your business to benefit from its popularity.

Twitter.

If Twitter is one of the components of your social media marketing plan, 

come up with tweets that are detailed 

and discuss different things. 

Create tweets that include information about your products 

and reviews of similar products too. 

If you use both kinds of tweets rather than only promoting 

your business, you attract attention 

and interest from your followers.

Facebook.

Add in "like" boxes to your Facebook page 

on your website pages; 

so that, people will like you on that site. 

Having this facility on your blog will let people 

like your page without having to navigate 

away from your site. 

The easier you make it for your users, 

the more likely people will like your page 

and increase your exposure.

Consistency.

Make consistent appearances on your social media site. 

Make sure that you write regularly, 

this will cause people to want to visit your page often 

so they can keep up to date with your posts. 

Also, make sure what you write about is relevant and factual. 

No one wants to read random information, 

it should pertain to your business.

Content.

Develop quality content targeted for social media. 

If you are just haphazard in your content, 

advertising or always mundane, 

then you are wasting your time and losing business. 

Be as concerned about your social content 

offerings as you are for the content 

on your business site.

Reciprocate.

Find bloggers within your niche, 

and leave comments on their blogs. 

The great thing about comments 

is that you can usually leave a link 

with the comment, giving readers of that blog 

a way to find your site or blog. 

While sticking with blogs with bigger followings 

is more likely to generate traffic for you, 

visitors from smaller blogs can add up as well.

Ask.

It is always important to seek out advice when needed. 

There will always be people 

who have been involved longer than you 

and can help out when things seem too tough 

or confusing. 

In time, you will find your own niche 

and master social media marketing. 

Your reward can be a Business 

that is both profitable and growing.
