Watch TV Online

Jamie Hutchins

2014-08-06

The modern economy of the last century or so is in transition, and among other things, people are finding it easier to watch TV online rather than viewing their favorite shows through the boob tube. In the last decade every major section of the entertainment industry has felt a pinch from the digital universe. From movies and music, to printed books and games, everything is becoming a part of the technological drive towards virtual reality.

Choosing to Watch TV Online is Cheaper

Cable companies started to get the idea a few years ago when online viewership rose by leaps and bounds. Consumers are increasingly asking that their cable get turned off, because they’re able to catch all their favorite shows online for much cheaper than ordinary cable. There are plenty of platforms being offered to consumers where producers are able to take their cut, but in all honesty, most people can find what they’re looking to watch for free.

Improve Customer Service and Address Common Customer Issues

Hillary Lopez

2014-08-01

Everyone knows that in order to increase business sales, one of the first things to do is to improve customer service. What everyone does NOT know, however, is just how to go about doing that.

Well, except for the experts. With plenty of experience and a clean track record of success in knowing how to improve customer service, as well as how to train just about anyone with a strong desire to increase business sales, becoming an expert yourself is easier said than done.

Improving customer service can seem nebulous, daunting, and even unnecessary. “Don’t we already have great customer service?” you might wonder. Or worse yet, “Why do we need to improve customer service?” It is only those who do not realize the power and importance of improving customer service who are continuously shooting themselves in the foot —proverbially speaking of course.

That is precisely why, however, anyone who sees the enormous potential to increase business sales by improvin...

The 4 Investment Assets You do not Have to Report to the U.S. Government

Jan Dalton

2014-07-26

Economics is a tricky subject, and opinions differ widely on the status and future course of the U.S. economy. Some experts on one news network will give an opinion that is the complete opposite of that given by the expert on another news network, and it is difficult to know who to trust. In general people who know investing seem to think that things are looking better, but some people are beginning to look to non-U.S. sources for financial security, in particular the 4 investment assets you do not have to report to the U.S. government.

These assets were recently popularized in a report titled 'The 4 Investment Assets You Do NOT Have to Report to the U.S. Government' by the Stansberry & Associates Investment Research group, led by Porter Stansberry. This report begins by warning that the apparent calm of the economy will soon erupt into chaos, primarily because of the tax burdens being placed on the very wealt...

You are Welcome to Post Anonymously by Entering a Nickname with no Password

Richard Quinn

2014-07-25

Anonymity is becoming more and more important as our Internet privacy is continually being threatened. Most people do not want to share personal information when contributing and commenting on websites, so some sites will say that you are welcome to post anonymously by entering a nickname with no password. This is obviously ideal for shy people in general. As you know, the nickname you create, also known as a handle, username, or login name, will then represent you. In some cases you will be issued an automatically numbered name, like Guest1754. Of course, the tradeoff can be spam.

One of the most popular sites where you are welcome to enter a nickname is 4chan.org . This is a discussion forum/bulletin board that is based around images. Anyone can post anything, as long as it sticks to the provided rules – among other things, this includes avoiding spam, not breaking the law, and not complaining about...

The Basics of Entrepreneurship

Merina Mesa

2014-07-23

Entrepreneurship in our country is quite like the American Dream. It is the one business idea that will not go away, and despite what you’ve been told, the one we all fundamentally believe in. One of the great things about entrepreneurship is that almost anyone with an idea and belief can be an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurship is a combination of three factors. Firstly, it is a skill set. This means that entrepreneurs are made rather than born and that everyone has the opportunity to acquire these skills and put them to use. Secondly, there are personal characteristics that define an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur will have high expectations for him or herself and will have high achievement goals. Settling for less or conforming is out of the question. There’s a low need to go by the traditional or conventional ways of thinking. One of the most evident characteristics of an entrepreneur is their tendency to take risks. They’re all about expansion and movement, so being tim...
