Debt Consolidation at Bills.com - Time For A Refresher Course
Posted on September 4, 2008 - Filed Under Personal Finance | Leave a Comment
I first wrote about Bills.com about a month ago when they released their BillsIQ test (on which I scored rather well, thank you very much). At the time, I asked where all my money went, considering I knew so much about staying out of debt. Well, I think my last post answered that ($500 for tickets to Miley Cyrus’ Sweet 16 party at Disneyland isn’t exactly a smart financial choice).
So, after maxing out a credit card again I headed…
Free Merchant Account For Your Small Business
Posted on August 28, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Earning Offline, Earning Online | Leave a Comment
One of the first hurdles a growing micro-business will face when trying to compete with more established companies is the ability to accept credit card payments. That’s because credit card processing requires a merchant account which are typically too expensive for the micro-business - with set-up fees, terminal lease fees, and complicated small-type ridden extended contracts that seem almost designed to intimidate the new business person. You can thank me later, because I have found the perfect solution for your…
Hello, My Name Is Aahz, And I’m An Office Supply Junkie
Posted on August 11, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Education, Shopping | Leave a Comment
When I was growing up my parents started their own business in our home. In a matter of weeks our kitchen was crammed with file cabinets and the dining room was full of desks. Office supplies were everywhere. Thus, when I ventured out “into the real world” I was shocked that so few of my friends had things like staplers, three hole punches, and adding machines. I mean, how, exactly, is one meant to survive without such absolute essentials? In…

When starting any new endeavor, be it a new business (online or off), a website, or a blog, one of the first things to consider is the way that you present your product or service to the world. As the old saying goes… You only get one chance to make a first impression. In the internet world that first impression is almost always a graphic one, which makes it all the more important to have a logo that represents you…
Considering Starting My Own PTR Business

I’m not sure why the idea struck my mind earlier today, but I am once again considering starting my own Paid To Read (PTR)/Paid To Click (PTC) website. I already own a domain name that could work for it (and is currently underutilized) and I’ve got free webhosting thanks to Top Hosting Center, so I figured why not. Well, that’s what I’m here to ask all of you: Why Not?
With the domain and hosting already covered my only real expenses…
Turning Check 21 To Your Advantage
Posted on May 13, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Personal Finance | Leave a Comment
In 2004 Congress passed the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, better known as Check 21. This allowed banks to accept the scanned image of a check in lieu of receiving the physical check. It saved the banks a fortune in transport and handling costs as well as allowing checks to “clear” within 24 hours of receipt by a merchant essentially ending the “float” depended on by both the impoverished and scammers everywhere. None of this was good for…
