Can't Figure Out Where to Travel Next?

Iremember several years back, I knew I wanted to travel to Africa, but what Icouldn’t figure out was which part of Africa. I had a choice of visiting the Ivory Coast to learn more about the sideof the family which had migrated from there against their will.  Then after much study and meditation, Ilearned that it had been the Africans themselves alone with Europeans who hadlaid the ground work for the ships with human cargo.
Itwas then that I decided that I wanted to visit the “top” of Africa and learnmore about the Egyptians.  Somethingwithin me made me realize that most of my questions would be answered if I wentto Egypt, rather than to the Ivory Coast. I told myself, that with the information I learned in Egypt, I would beable to return to the West Coast of Africa in the future.
Imade the right decision, for me, however, there was one major mistake.  There was no way that I was suppose to visitEgypt, cruise the Nile and remain in Africa for 10 days, without visitingIsrael, while I was in that region of the world.  There is a reason why the travel industrypromotes Egypt as a side trip when tourist, travel to Israel, and, visa versewhen tourist travel to Egypt.  I didn’tstudy ‘all’ of the Travel Information, or I would have known that itwould have been a good idea to visit the place where the Jews left from and theplace they ended up, after 40 years!
Ifully realized before I left the US, that ‘Travel is Education at It’s Best,’and learning more about the journey from Egypt to Israel would have beenextremely educational.  But as it was,the information was so powerful and overwhelming from my journey to Egypt, I’mnot sure I could have handled the emotional outcome of visiting both places.
I thought it was only me who had a problemmaking a decision as to where to go next. But as it turns out, the keywords: ‘places to travel’ is searched over 800,000 timesa month on just one major  search engine.
TravelInformation and travel classifieds goes a long way in helping travelersto learn more about where they might want to travel next.  Sure hundreds of thousands of people knowthey want to go to Hawaii, but which Island? Do you want to fly, or cruise?  Or, fly to Hawaii and cruise the Islands forseven days?  What about the MexicanRiviera cruise? (Beautiful)
Orwould you just rather go to Las Vegas? And what about that trip to Disneyland that you promised the kids?  And since the cruise industries recentincidents, the cruise companies are almost giving away cruises, to get newpeople to cruise.  (Those of us who arerepeat customers of the cruise industry, rarely allow incidents to stand in ourway of a cruise – we understand that for the most part cruise ships are safe)  And you only have to unpack once, all mealsincluded?  Visit three, four or fiveports, two or three countries. Too many decisions, not enough vacation time.

Mitt Romney's Taxes and Investments

To contact us Click HERE
I have previously talked about reviewing the presidential candidates tax returns to get inside information on how the wealthy generate wealth.

When reviewing Mitt Romney's 2011 tax return, we found the usual components for a very wealthy man.  A family trust controls most of the assets and had invested in securities from companies with ties to Iran, investments in Chinese oil company, CNOOC.  Plus we found that these questionable investments for a presidential candidate might cause some problems. 

The tax return supports that Mitt Romney were very much aware of these questionable investments as it would relate to the U.S. voters, and sold the stocks!

This blog is NOT about politics, this blog is about tax write offs, tax loopholes and ways to decrease your tax liabilities while increasing your assets, income and peace of mind.  What the tax returns of  wealthy presidential candidates reveals is HOW, the rich get rich.

What you now know is that investing in oil, regardless of which country the investment is affiliated with, is one of the strategies for building wealth. 

As the weeks go by, we will look at more investment strategies of the wealthy.  After all if we duplicate the investment patterns of the wealthy, on a much smaller scale, you too can benefit, even though a lot of details about the taxes are missing, tax experts were still able to determine certain facts.  Read the entire Mitt Romney tax saga

Investing in Web Sites for Tax Benefits and Profit

To contact us Click HERE

Investing in web sites can provide the same tax benefits as any home based business.  ALL expenses associated with the business of owning a web site is tax deductible.  Including, a percentage of your rent or mortgage, utilities, up of your home, miles driven for business, all business equipment, furniture and upgrades.  Not to mention, your cell phone, marketing, payments made to freelancers, online marketing cost and education involved in learning to make your business profitable.


Buying web sites is a popular investment,because the initial investment can be less than $500 for a new start up, HTMLweb site or blog, with original content and several streams of income which cangenerate annually, 10 times the initial investment
 Virtual real estate is less expensive thentangible real estate yet the investment process is very much the same.  When an investor buys real estate, a home,duplex or apartment building, all of the upgrades to the property helps toincrease the value of the real estate, and is added to the bases of theproperty.   The same hold true with a website.  Web site upgrades, bells, whistlesand gadgets, along with great content, increases the value of a web sitegreatly.  Many people encourage buyingwell established web sites, at a cost of one or two times the annual earningsof the site.
 While this is good, for people who haveexperience with owning, managing and growing web sites, it can be a nightmarefor a site owner who is not really sure how to continue the snowball effect andcontinue to generate the revenue that the previous owner was able to generate.
 HOWSMALL INVESTORS CAN PARTICIPATE AND LOWER THE RISK
 Web site investing is fast becoming anacceptable investment which can provide immediate monthly income.  And just as big business is moving into theweb site ownership market, investors with limited investment capital can alsoparticipate in this unique industry. 
 As long as a site has unique content, orprovides an extremely popular service, a small investor can increase the valueof his web site over time, and enjoy the same benefits as those who investlarge sums of capital. 
 
There are thousands and thousands ofstories where someone has loss their job, and started to blog, only to findthemselves earning more than twice what they earned on the job.  It all about: the niche, the content, theservice or product, (pricing) and the marketing of the site.
Banks and Investment Firms are alreadyinvesting in large websites.  Smallinvestors would do well to move forward as quickly as possible.
 
SEARCHENGINES AND INVESTMENT IN WEB SITES FOR PROFIT
 This is a touchy subject.  The latest update by the largest searchengine on the net, upset the bank accounts of many webmasters, websitedevelopers and web site owners.  People’sbank accounts actually went from say, $1000 and more per month to less than$100 per month for the small web site investors.
 More than ever, these recent changes haveweb developers and investors moving more toward affiliate income, rather thanpay per click income.  And rightfully so,the search engines actions, reminded each of us that we much build web siteswhich can with stand changes by the major search engines.  This means we must build precise niches witha high level of content.
 WHERETO FIND WEB SITES TO PURCHASE
 Investors can find thousands of web sitesto purchase by using the search engines. There are about ten major sites and many smaller niche sites which sellweb sites. 
 WHATTO LOOK FOR WHEN PURCHASING A START UP SITE
 1.       You wantto be sure the content is original, if not, you want to be sure the service orproduct is a winner in the eyes of web visitors.  You can usually determine this by what othersites with the same content are generating each month, and how many visitorsthey have.  Your job, should you decideto purchase the site, is to bring visitors to the site to generate your monthlyincome.
2.      You want to be sure that you will be acceptedinto any affiliate program BEFORE you purchase the site. 
3.      You want to be sure that the site works properly
4.      You want any and all information on how tomarket the site
5.      You want full ownership of the domain name andall content, including paid WP Plugins
6.      You want to set a budget for online marketing,regardless if it is $10 or $1000 a month, and stick to it.
7.      You want to be sure that the site is indexed oris capable of being indexed into the search engines.
8.      You want to be sure that the domain name has a cleanbill of health when it comes to the search engines.
9.      You want to be excited, even passionate aboutthe product, service and information you are offering on your site.
10.  You want to purchase from a company orindividual who will be there for you after the sale.
 WHAT TO PAY FOR ASTART UP
A start up web site can cost anywhere from $45 to $1500,unique content, several streams of income. Websites which are sold on major web site for sale sites, usually have asuggestion for the cost of web sites, based on:
1.      Domain name, Age of Domain
2.      Content / Niche
3.      Traffic
4.      Backlinks
5.      Site’s Popularity
6.      Page Rank
7.      Monthly / Annual Income
 It is harder to set a price on a start up because there isusually no monthly or annual income to set the price.  It really depends on the amount of work thathas gone into the site, and what the site offers to you as a new web siteowner, and to your web visitors.
 HOW TO PURCHASE A WEBSITE
You want to be sure that the domain name is transferred intoyour name.  Therefore you also want to besure that the person, who is selling the site to you, has the legal right to doso.
You can use PayPal, especially if the seller is “verified”that way if there is a problem, you can contact PayPal and request a refund.
If the web site is over $250 USD it might be a good idea toplace the transaction into escrow.  Theescrow fee is a percentage of the transaction value, and is well worth theinvestment.  The buyer places the moneyinto escrow.  And when the buyer andseller are completely satisfied with the transaction, then the escrow companyreleases the funds.  It is a great wayfor the buyer and seller to protect themselves.
 DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFOREBUYING A START-UP WEB SITE
1.      Do you know how much traffic the website gets?
2.      Do you know how much money the website makes?
3.      Does the web site work properly?
4.      Is the topic, keywords and content popular?
5.      How will you get visitors to your site?

Hot Shot Gamblers and the IRS, Tips to Help You File Back Taxes and Current Taxes

To contact us Click HERE
This information is for hot shot gamblers, who have won money gambling.  Yes, the money you won is tax deductible, however, so are your losses, up to the extent of your winnings.  To read the exact tax law as provided by the IRS, continue reading  Five Important Tips on Gambling Income and Losses Whether you roll the dice, bet on the ponies, play cards or enjoy slot machines, you should know that as a casual gambler, your gambling winnings are fully taxable and must be reported on your income tax return. You can also deduct your gambling losses…but only up to the extent of your winnings.
Here are five important tips about gambling and taxes:

1. Gambling income includes, but is not limited to, winnings from lotteries, raffles, horse races, and casinos. It includes cash winnings and the fair market value of prizes such as cars and trips.

2. If you receive a certain amount of gambling winnings or if you have any winnings that are subject to federal tax withholding, the payer is required to issue you a Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings. The payer must give you a W-2G if you receive:

• $1,200 or more in gambling winnings from bingo or slot machines;
• $1,500 or more in proceeds (the amount of winnings minus the amount of the wager) from keno;
• More than $5,000 in winnings (reduced by the wager or buy-in) from a poker tournament;
• $600 or more in gambling winnings (except winnings from bingo, keno, slot machines, and poker tournaments) and the payout is at least 300 times the amount of the wager; or
• Any other gambling winnings subject to federal income tax withholding.

3. Generally, you report all gambling winnings on the “Other income” line of Form 1040, U.S. Federal Income Tax Return.

4. You can claim your gambling losses up to the amount of your winnings on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, under ‘Other Miscellaneous Deductions.' You must report the full amount of your winnings as income and claim your allowable losses separately. You cannot reduce your gambling winnings by your gambling losses and report the difference. Your records should also show your winnings separately from your losses.

5. Keep accurate records. If you are going to deduct gambling losses, you must have receipts, tickets, statements and documentation such as a diary or similar record of your losses and winnings. Refer to IRS Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions, for more details about the type of information you should write in your diary and what kinds of proof you should retain in your records.

For more information on gambling income and losses, see IRS Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions, or Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income, both available at IRS.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

Education Credits, American Opportunity Credit vs. Lifetime Learning Credit

To contact us Click HERE
Qualified school deductions are important for students and parents who pay for college expenses.  The trick is to remember that room and board are NOT qualified expenses.  However, any expenses which are required for the student to be enrolled in an accredited learning institution, is tax deductible.  Below the IRS has provided details concerning the American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. Back-to-School Tips for Students and Parents Paying College Expenses Whether you’re a recent high school graduate going to college for the first time or a returning student, it will soon be time to head to campus, and payment deadlines for tuition and other fees are not far behind.

The IRS offers some tips about education tax benefits that can help offset some college costs for students and parents. Typically, these benefits apply to you, your spouse or a dependent for whom you claim an exemption on your tax return.

• American Opportunity Credit. This credit, originally created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is still available for 2012. The credit can be up to $2,500 per eligible student and is available for the first four years of post secondary education at an eligible institution. Forty percent of this credit is refundable, which means that you may be able to receive up to $1,000, even if you don't owe any taxes. Qualified expenses include tuition and fees, course related books, supplies and equipment.

• Lifetime Learning Credit. In 2012, you may be able to claim a Lifetime Learning Credit of up to $2,000 for qualified education expenses paid for a student enrolled in eligible educational institutions. There is no limit on the number of years you can claim the Lifetime Learning Credit for an eligible student.

You can claim only one type of education credit per student in the same tax year. However, if you pay college expenses for more than one student in the same year, you can choose to take credits on a per-student, per-year basis. For example, you can claim the American Opportunity Credit for one student and the Lifetime Learning Credit for the other student.

• Student loan interest deduction. Generally, personal interest you pay, other than certain mortgage interest, is not deductible. However, you may be able to deduct interest paid on a qualified student loan during the year. It can reduce the amount of your income subject to tax by up to $2,500, even if you don’t itemize deductions.

These education benefits are subject to income limitations, and may be reduced or eliminated depending on your income. For more information, visit the Tax Benefits for Education Information Center at IRS.gov or check out Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, which can be downloaded at IRS.gov or ordered by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

Tax Preparation Tips; Why You May Want to Change Your Refund Method

To contact us Click HERE

The Reason the IRS Encourages e-Filing.

The chances of a tax return being 100% correct is increased greatly when accepted by the IRS e-filing system. It cuts down on errors and the work involved with documenting a tax payers tax information.

It is much much easier for the IRS to keep track of tax returns electronically.  The massive amount of paper generated when over 133 million individual tax returns show up over the course of the year can be overwhelming.

And believe it or not, keeping up with tax payers, using the computer makes it easier for everyone.  Different IRS employees can access different tax payers records, when permitted by the system, and can note the account so the next IRS employee will know exactly what is happening with the account.

Tax Preparation, Do You Have to e-File?

No.  However tax preparation professionals are required to attach a Form 8948, Preparer Explanation for Not Filing electronically, to the tax payers tax return.  Tax Preparation professionals are not required, yet, to send this information to the IRS.

Potential Problems With Refunds Placed in Bank Accounts

Tax payers who have received a refund for years have no problem providing the IRS with their bank account numbers in order to have refunds placed into their accounts.  And this is safe and fast way to get a refund.

However, what happens when one year, you get a "big"increase in income, and you end up owing the IRS a lot more than you expected?

No, the IRS, usually won't levy your bank account without going through the proper procedure, but the truth is, they already have your bank account information.  Now, this is NOT a serious problem, because, when they really want to know where a taxpayer banks, they can find out.

The fact is, there is added stress for the tax payer, because the IRS knows more about your private banking habits then you would like for them to know, after your annual income has doubled and for some tax payers, tripled!  (Everything changes when you become one of the high earners)

This is not a serious issue, however, for taxpayers who are planning on moving up the corporate ladder, it's something to think about.

Change Your W4 - Reduce or Eliminate Your Tax Liability

To contact us Click HERE
Below you will find the IRS's release on avoiding taxes at the end of the tax year.  And for the most part this is the best way to avoid large tax bills.

If you are like some taxpayers, you have adjusted your W4 to accommodate your cash flow for half the year and then you make sure the IRS is covered the other half of the year.  And like many taxpayers, you dummy down your W4 for the first six months and then increase it for the last six months.

If you insist on doing this each year, there is one suggestion.  Pay the IRS heavy through your payroll withholding for the first six months, and increase your take home pay for the last six months instead of the first.  It is during the holidays, especially when families are involved, that taxpayers find that they need that extra cash.

Plus if something should happen during the last half of the year and you were not working during the 3rd and 4th quarter of the year, your debt to the IRS would more than likely be over paid.  And the refund would come in handy.

Read below for the IRS's suggestions on adjusting Federal withholding to avoid big tax refunds or tax bills.  If you need help with computing Self-Employment taxes, just complete the form to the right.

-------------

The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers that it's not too late to adjust their 2012 tax withholding to avoid big tax refunds or tax bills when they file their tax return next year.
Taxpayers should act soon to adjust their tax withholding to bring the taxes they must pay closer to what they actually owe and put more money in their pocket right now.

Most people have taxes withheld from each paycheck or pay taxes on a quarterly basis through estimated tax payments. Each year millions of American workers have far more taxes withheld from their pay than is required. Many people anxiously wait for their tax refunds to make major purchases or pay their financial obligations. The IRS encourages taxpayers not to tie major financial decisions to the receipt of their tax refund - especially if they need their tax refund to arrive by a certain date.
Here is some information to help bring the taxes you pay during the year closer to what you will actually owe when you file your tax return.

Employees

• New Job. When you start a new job your employer will ask you to complete Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate. Your employer will use this form to figure the amount of federal income tax to withhold from your paychecks. Be sure to complete the Form W-4 accurately.
• Life Event. You may want to change your Form W-4 when certain life events happen to you during the year. Examples of events in your life that can change the amount of taxes you owe include a change in your marital status, the birth of a child, getting or losing a job, and purchasing a home. Keep your Form W-4 up-to-date.

You typically can submit a new Form W–4 at anytime you wish to change the number of your withholding allowances. However, if your life event results in the need to decrease your withholding allowances or changes your marital status from married to single, you must give your employer a new Form W-4 within 10 days of that life event.
Self-Employed

• Form 1040-ES. If you are self-employed and expect to owe a thousand dollars or more in taxes for the year, then you normally must make estimated tax payments to pay your income tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes. You can use the worksheet in Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals, to find out if you are required to pay estimated tax on a quarterly basis. Remember to make estimated payments to avoid owing taxes at tax time.

Its Not to Late to Avoid A Tax Bill Next Year, Reduce Your Taxes

To contact us Click HERE
The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers that it's not too late to adjust their 2012 tax withholding to avoid big tax refunds or tax bills when they file their tax return next year. Taxpayers should act soon to adjust their tax withholding to bring the taxes they must pay closer to what they actually owe and put more money in their pocket right now.        Most people have taxes withheld from each paycheck or pay taxes on a quarterly basis through estimated tax payments. Each year millions of American workers have far more taxes withheld from their pay than is required. Many people anxiously wait for their tax refunds to make major purchases or pay their financial obligations. The IRS encourages taxpayers not to tie major financial decisions to the receipt of their tax refund - especially if they need their tax refund to arrive by a certain date. Here is some information to help bring the taxes you pay during the year closer to what you will actually owe when you file your tax return.

Ways to Create a Legal Tax Write Off

To contact us Click HERE

Creating a Legal Tax Write Off, Options, One, Two and Three
We have often times encouraged tax payers, who have owedtaxes in the pass to do one of three things to reduce their tax liability,
1.      Purchase a primary home and use the mortgageinterest as a write off to reduce taxes
2.      Make an appointment with an Investment Plannerand include tax planning in with your   Investment strategies. (long-term)
3.      Invest in a small home based business, andreceive the tax benefits.
Today’s post involves the details in starting a home basedbusiness for the sole purpose of creating:
1.       An opportunity
2.      A legal tax write off
The downside in starting a home based business, especiallyto help lower your tax liabilities, is the IRS audits more of these types of taxreturns than most.  Two, you usually canonly “loose” money for 3 out of 5 years before the IRS starts asking questionsabout your intent.  Questions such as, “Isyour business a hobby?”
To avoid these types of questions and to within stand ANYquestions the IRS may have about your home based business, you should beprepared to do the following:
1.      Create a business platform, which you areserious about running as a small business
2.      Keep records of all expenses
3.      Plan on making a profit, and once you do, thenstart another business, and another, and another to offset your income.
The end result will be:
1.      You owe IRS more money, because you have moreincome
2.      You can delete your day job, and become your ownboss
The bottom line is: If you earn money from a home based business, and you set it up so youcan run it from anywhere in the world, you create an option to make your homebased business an International Corporation, move off-shore and request fromthe IRS, exclusion from foreign income up to $95,100 (2012) per year!  (Contact your attorney, ask questions)

This incident alone should make offshore account holders aware that the IRS is serious about unreported income, which may be housed in offshore bank accounts.  We cannot stress enough the importance of coming clean about offshore accounts.

It is NOT illegal to have offshore accounts, however, it is illegal, NOT to share this information with the IRS.  Are millions of dollars in taxes saved worth prison time?  Make an appointment with an International Tax Attorney and discuss your options.

Read These Words: 2/3 of 400 Richest, ADDED to Their Fortunes in Last 12 Months

To contact us Click HERE
Fact:  Two-thirds of these 400 billionaires added to their fortunes over the past 12 months. 

Yes, when the economy bottomed out for many, the world's richest billionaires were adding to their fortune.  OK, so it takes money to make money you say.  Well maybe.  How did they "add" to their fortunes?  Or better yet, how did they get rich in the first place?  (Not counting those who were born into wealth)

One way to find out is to review the tax returns which are public records for the wealthiest presidents and even governors, in the United States.  Learn more about how the rich get richer and the poor, it appears is getting poorer.

Success is NOT a secret, success is a formula.  And the United States Government has a "formula" to know how much of their wealth they need to pay in taxes.

Google has a "formula" to determine which pages go where in the search engines.  And our current president "wrote a book" and increased his wealth.  Well maybe your life story isn't as exciting, but there are formulas for great fiction novels!

And each of these 400 billionaires and all the rest of the millionaires all have "formulas" which have created wealth for them.

Can you say "formula"?  You can read the entire article here: 2/3 of the 400 billionaires increased their fortunes over the last 12 month

Another major investment which people often forget about isthe investment of time, energy and effort into themselves.  To be honest, investing in yourself is one ofthe greatest investments a person can make. After all, you know there will be a gain, when you put money and timeinto improving yourself.
No, I am NOT talking about a new Porsche automobile, sowomen, or men will think you are hot.  Iam speaking about the investment of time into learning, education, increasingyour self-worth in order to increase your net worth in the future.
In the many years of doing taxes, one of the facts I learnedearly is, those who increased their income from year to year, often did sobecause of their effort to flatten the learning curve on certain subjects. 
Yes, we all want to make more money, yet not all of us willtake the time to sit down and make a plan and then follow the plan, in order torealize our dreams.  If you make a plan,you are sure to realize that you may need to “learn more” about a subject, job,task, venture or project in order to realize the goals.Invest in yourself.

How Small Business Can Compete With Big Business in Internet Marketing

To contact us Click HERE

This post is a result of my promise to share my knowledge once I learned how SEO really works. I have deliberately buried this information within my tax blog, because I really didn't want to share.
Google’s most recent updates have caused seriousconsequences for some and a serious increase in income for others, but mostly areduction in Online income has been the results for many.
The Internet is evolving at a fast paste.  If you take a two-week vacation, things couldbe seriously different by the time you return. And for this reason, some of the most successful geeks online are turning,or have turned to “additional” tactics for Internet Marketing, rather thanrelying solely on SEO.Successful independent Internet Marketers are turning to social networking and blogging with a ping.
This is where the majority of the “big boys” have gone.  No I am not talking about the ones who sharethe “massive email list of online opportunity seekers, with one another.”   I am on this email list.  I understand exactly what happens, and I alsohave purchase my share of “only one left for $9.97 products.”   (Did you know that these list make at leastone or two, if not more, millionaires a week? Information is power and peoplewill and do purchase software programs and e-books which promises to bringin hugh number of web visitors.)
I’m talking about the professional Internet Marketers whohold down an eight to five job. You know the ones who know how to sell 2.5 million diamond bracelets in5 days.  I’m talking about theprofessional marketers who work in an organized corporate environment, andhave 10 to 30 people working on promoting selected campaigns, online, for oneretailer.
You see, these are the people who truly understand  how to generate a million or two a day, in online revenue.  And they understand that it takes a team of SEO professionals. And they are paid well in Corporate America.
How do they do it? Do they depend on Google, Bing or Yahoo? or SEO for that matter?
The answer is NO.  However, after you implement a couple 1000 pageonline campaigns, you are bound to move up, in the search engines.
We the little people, can’t afford these types of campaigns,nor can we afford the $25,000 ad campaign to place banners all over AOL or Yahoo(Channels)
One other way a one man (or woman) show, can makeit big in Internet Marketing, without going broke is toembrace social media, blogging, pinging, banners and one other classified task. (lots of banners)  Find the services which automate these taskand, are in good standing with the major search engines, and you have found thepath to successful online marketing.
There is one more piece to this puzzle.   Buying visitors, is not something that themajor search engines support, and for good reason.  HOWEVER, when you buy 10,000 real visitors,(especially U.S. visitors) you are creating a pattern. You create a pattern ofenergy, (thoughts are energy) which regular visitors can and will eventually follow.   This only works if what you have  to offer is of value, and is well presented.  (Nobots.)   Macy’s, Amazon, or Radio Shack don’t have to create a mind set, they already have a database of millions of clients.  All they have to do is e-mail them, or FB, or tweet them the deal.  But if you are a one man, (or woman) show,creating an affordable energy patterns could be your best kept secret.
