The Homebuyers Toolkit: Money Attitudes and Budgeting

Last weekend I attended The Money Conference for Women in Hartford, CT. A 26-year-old woman stood up and shared how she is more than $60,000 in debt as a result of student loans and credit cards. She makes about $40,000 a year working for a non-profit and one of her immediate goals was to purchase a home. The keynote speaker, Michelle Singletary, a nationally syndicated columnist, told her to pump her breaks and focus on paying off her debt first. Her story is all too familiar. A lot of people want to take on more debt before addressing their current issues.

Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

Once again, it's the time of year when pressure on consumers to do their part to boost the engine of our economy begins to build. The "official" start of the holiday shopping season, November 27 (also known as Black Friday—so named because the spending beginning that weekend is expected to bring retailers from being in the red to being in the black, i.e., into profitability for the year), is just over a week away.

Identity Protection Programs: How Do They Stack Up?

You can’t stop identity theft, but you can take measures to protect your personal information.

Comment by Darnell (BusinessInTheBlack.com) on October 25, 2009 at 2:50pm: MLMs are designed to make the top level people in the system rich from all the people below them. Any business that requires a monthly commitment as well as recruitment, sales and marketing is a Multi Level nightmare. It even makes you bother your family as well.

That is why I designed my company A to Z Mini Billboards around a simple business model of Sales and Commission with only one level of Affiliate residual commission.

I also designed it around helping the community at large and giving back over 70% of the profits to the people who invest in it in the first place.

Here’s the opportunity:

I invented a Digital Signage system I call A to Z Mini Billboards, it’s a combination of Digital Displays and Mini Computer Systems connected via the Internet much like a cable box. Once installed at a location it pulls digital ads designed like Billboards from my servers and displays them randomly ever 15 seconds. The system also displays Amber Alerts, Community Bulletins, PSAs or Missing Children and Free for Community give back ads like Save the Children.

My systems are a complete Business In A Box solution, costing $500 per system which is a onetime investment from investors like me and you.

A person (Investor) buys our Mini “Electronic” Billboard System and places them in Barbershops, Beauty Salon, Restaurants, Gas Station, Doctor’s Offices or any other place with people waiting to be served. Mainly where you see business cards and flyers hanging around.

Once installed our Mini Billboards display digital advertisements every 15 seconds much like a slide show of Billboards. These ads are sold for only $25 each and run for the entire month per location.

Of that $25, I give the investor 70% of each advertisement sold every month and it's that simple.
My Mini Billboard systems are so successful that each one earns the investor over $15,000 a month from 1 system. I even made a software download version that allows any do-it-yourself person with a little PC skills to start the business using their own computer and displays.

I have no crazy down lines, no MLM crap, No left or right legs to fill, no people to recruit, no family to bother and no monthly fees or contracts to partner with A to Z Mini Billboards. It’s plain and simple digital advertisement designed at the grass roots level.

Our system is only 8 months old and we are in 8 states and 5 countries and were contacted by the Obama's Administration to help with the Health Care Reform.

I am the founder and CEO of A to Z Mini Billboards and invented this system of Software and Electronics while I was homeless and only $12 in my pocket some 3 years ago.

You can read my story here http://www.atozminibillboards.com/modules/content/index.php?id=25
And talk to me LIVE and in person 10am to 10pm and see what a REAL Entrepreneur you can be from my simple and highly profitable business you can work from home.
