This time I want to talk about the possibility of creating profitable business in these times of crisis. One of the fears that most people have today is the possibility of failure in creating new businesses online. To minimize this problem, we have created a series of tutorials to help us select the most profitable businesses that are today.

Web sites, are businesses that whether we are in crisis or not, are compensable short and long term, it is recommended also access this online world for the ease of creating and maintaining accounts for a website. Today anyone can create a website and make money through advertising and other forms of monetization.

If you still do not know how to create a website, without a doubt the most profitable in the short course and long term is Micro Niche Profitable, a course where you will learn step by step how to do research in your niche, with which you will be earning a remuneration for promotion of one or more electronic products.

Taking this course, you realize more business opportunities, which in times of crisis are the best chance we have users in order to take benefits from the small investment that would have to perform.

The reason is quite simple, as in most, large companies get to have a number of costs for its size, at the moment is when they tend to maximize their income from what is commonly focus on their large customers, thus neglecting to the small to give significant income. It is there where we come with micro niches, small businesses, we must attack.

Our work focus all our efforts to the uptake of all these small clients than large enterprises will neglect, and how we have to do this is by creating websites as a sales platform for small businesses. The website developed with proper planning, can be an important window to appear and reach local alternative markets, which could be badly beaten by an economic crisis.

Beyond progress in dealing with employees, there are benefits that make your stay more pleasant in the office, such as coffee machines, heating, flexible meal times, time to devote to your own projects and rewards performance. However, many companies forget that the main reason that drives people to seek employment is the salary. Sometimes employees feel the need to request a salary increase, either because their needs have grown, because the increase in prices has impacted or just because it considers just this demand. The solution is very simple: if the company has a compensation policy for well-structured, should not have to meet rising orders. And if wages were fair, would not expose employees to make a wage claim, which usually ends up tensions.

What motivates negotiate a raise?
First, there is the possibility that the person experiences a change in your life that prevent you from fully cover its financial obligations with the current salary. That obviously is necessary to demand an increase or, failing that, find a new job. Addition, the lack of equity remuneration of employees can also become a problem. Another reason is linked to tiredness and stress of some employees delivered every effort to improve the numbers of your business, but are not paid the wear. No less common is the entry of new employees who are paid much more than older ones. This triggers the discomfort of those who for years have given their work and company loyalty, and feel they are passed to carry. Generally these cases end up on waivers. Despite its validity, such reasons are not enough to perform in front of your boss and negotiate an increase in your pay. For best results, you need to argue on the side of interest or benefit to the company. In other words, we must explain “why the employer earns elevating the salary.” Your new salary should be presented as a good business, not a loss.

Your knowledge of the specific market of the company.
Your personal performance.
Special contributions made.
Level of training provided, whenever profitable in the post.
Potential contribution of new roles and responsibilities.
Availability and willingness to collaborate in the growth of the organization.
Another job offer concrete.

Representative
The guru of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Jeffrey Pfeffer argues that the best way to deal with a wage bargaining is through a representative, as traditionally do artists and professional athletes. In fact, he says, not only you feel better when the accolades come from the mouth of another, but this practice multiplies the odds of getting a good deal. To test their hypothesis, the expert from Stanford, conducted a series of experiments: The first asked college students to help set the salary of two candidates for directors of the student center. The students, divided into two groups, transcripts received job interviews of applicants. The first group read the transcript of an interview where the candidate himself told of her success.

Meanwhile, the second group read exactly the same arguments. However, if any, was an agent who spoke wonders of his client. result? Students set a higher salary for the candidate who negotiated by his agent. The second experiment took a new group of students to put in the role of CEO. Their task was to propose prices for the purchase of works of different writers. Again, the experiment confirmed the hypothesis: Students awarded the author a better price trading through your broker.

When and how?
The time to negotiate a raise is not the end of the year as many believe, is the beginning, when the company began a new period, new goals are generated for each person in pursuit of the overall business objectives. Another ideal time is when the company has been a fundamental change in the organization, it is time to do so. Especially when this change has an impact on higher revenue for the company or on the image to provide the possibility of greater economic benefit for those involved in it. Regarding the amount, the consultants say they must be very realistic in the amount request. You must not exceed the amount assessed by your impact on the company or the salary paid in the market for the type of functions you perform. Similarly, it is recommended to be very clear on the expectation of increase, because if he finally gets the increase, but this does not meet your expectations, it is important to say at the time and understands the reasons for the decision.

If you disagree
At present it is very difficult to correct a salary that was initially low. Should your application be rejected, you can change dollars for other benefits as a consolation prize, including bonuses, training , reduced hours, change of sector within the company. Before the end of your meeting is important to be stipulated that the salary will be revalued within three to six months, hoping to make a better future. Something as important, if their efforts to get a raise are not successful, you should not discourage you. Look at the issue as part of an ongoing conversation between you and the director.

The Euribor closes April at 1.77%, the lowest level in history. For its part, the Spanish Mortgage Association (AHE) notes that those who purchase a home now enjoy interest rates for mortgage “lowest of the last 50 years.” However, the stock of unsold homes is through the roof, (), so that the buyer, for the first time in many years, has “caught by the pan handle.” Miguel Angel Alemany, CEO of pisos.com gives us a set of keys to negotiate.

Know the circumstances that prompted the sale of a property is essential because depending on the urgency of the seller, the buyer will have more or less scope to impose its conditions.
Thus, Alemany recalls that “before the offer price adjustment allowed bands moving between 5 and 10%. Today, you can get discounts of between 20 and 30% on initial prices. Everything depends on the rush of the seller and whether the financing terms are adjusted to the buyer.”

To start the negotiation, it is essential that the buyer handle the same information as the seller in that market price trends are concerned. That is, there is to know what prices are being asked in the same area for properties with similar surface characteristics, age, quality, etc..

Moreover, the CEO of pisos.com recalls that one of the arguments used frequently by the vendors is the pressure , the buyer looking for an early commitment. Thus, it is very common comment that other people are interested in the property for sale. Similarly, the buyer may allude that he is also comparing different floors, thereby balancing the scales.

Nor should we rely on assumptions about future developments in relation to typical facts phrases like ‘here will be a pool’, ‘the council will demolish the old building and will build a square’, ‘will make a school near ‘. Usually lie. Or half-truths. You can not assess the home for those things uncertain, but the reality today. Today the house is worth a price. If there is a signed project something that may involve a revaluation, is the same as if there were: a possibility.

So it is very important that all these arguments to accelerate the purchase does not affect the prospective buyer. Do not forget that housing is almost certainly the most important investment of our lives. So you have to take time to analyze well all the variables and not make hasty decisions.
If you already have clear, begin the negotiations. This is getting tough, but with arguments . Not worth a ’5 million less’ because. That is weak. Arguméntalo: reform is not like I like, no garage and I’ll have to rent one, I have seen a similar one in this site and have low price is too expensive for years with …

If you can not agree, lets hang out and try again, perhaps, over time, the seller had agreed to an offer and now is willing to accept it more easily. You can even agree with another person (your partner or family) to deal with, negotiating one harder than the other, cause the impression to the seller is pulling the market is much lower. This strategy may eventually have an excellent result, even combined with calls asking price and commenting that it is exaggerated.

Here are four tips for anyone negotiating a position in any project:

1. Successful negotiators listen more than talk: cualdo someone expresses an interest, analyze what you said, put yourself in the shoes of the person who is in front.

2. Exit, change scenario: If you reached an exit, get away, take away, take a while. Perhaps we are negotiating about a problem that is not ours, but often react to someone who is angry putting on the defensive. The first is out, the second is to use the power of surprise to show the other the opposite view.

3. Build bridges: we all want to talk and listen to us. Repress that desire: Cross the bridge and listen to the other party. Transform verbal confrontation in a listening session: it is amazing the peace that comes only act of listening.

4. Ask a woman, men have the gene destroyer, built in centuries to defend our survival. We kill, kill, destroy. Women do not. Ask a woman what is your opinion about the confrontation that you are living. The council will be more constructive than destructive. This fourth point is inspired by a chapter of the book “The Art of the Start” Guy Kawasaki’s great, and certainly should not be taken as a generalization of men.

When negotiating, Brenda Baran, a specialist consultancy Michael Page, remarks that is essential to know with whom you will negotiate and to discuss in advance what you want, what their culture and way of negotiation.

Knowing, for example, if the “other side” we will find someone who is promoting win-win, or if it is much more rigid in its position.

Then we need to focus points and goals in common, and there are always important to look ahead and ask as it is negotiating.

Finally, consider that points can be flexible to reach an agreement, ie those that can give no impact on the objectives, as well as which are key to generate a profit.

“It is important to understand that you will always have to give at some point and win others. The goal of negotiation is a win-win and this is also the key to building a long term agreement “emphasizes Baran.

It is a fact, in times of crisis, the first reflex of the entrepreneurs is protect yourself at all costs a favorable conjuncture, sometimes to the point of closing.
However, stay afloat should not be the only priority, is essential to keep open minds to take advantage of growth opportunities and exploit them. More than surviving a crisis, it’s about learning to take advantage.

Apart from other scams, we can’t stay away from Email scams. Since the emails are used for both personal and business use, we need to give it to many people and public sites like face book, twitter etc. So when we give our mail ids to many people, there is more probability to get some spam messages to the id.

A mail might come to you saying you have won a lottery and they want your details before paying you. You need them to give your name, date of birth, father’s name and so on and finally your bank account number to deposit that millions of money to it.

Otherwise, some terrorist group will use your back account to pay someone to kill or buy some illegal things which will lead police to your home.

I recently received a spam message looking as if sent by an old man who is going to die soon and want all his will written to my name. He has no children and so chosen me randomly. He wanted me to call or write to him with my information. Now I am tired of scams and want to know which one is scam and which are not.
