Good afternoon, I'm Kerry J Harrison co-author of "Untapped Wealth Discovered."

There is a growing demand for translation services across America these days as more and more businesses seek to expand their commercial tentacles in to very lucrative global markets.  More and more American businesses are heeding the cry from millions of consumers in China, India, South East Asia, and even Latin America for services and products from the United States and with this growing demand comes the cry for professional translators to act as language brokers to help bridge the language gap.  

What we have here are millions of non English-speaking consumers seeking the services of translators to help them sell their products and services, buy products and services, and teach them how to become more North American savvy.  I believe that there are marvellous opportunities for translators to offer their services as written and oral professionals, language coaches, and even language transcribers and writers.  As a matter of fact, there are also boundless opportunities for those of you who can find translators to help you reach those hundreds of millions of global consumers whose first language is not English.

For those of you who are looking for language translators, transcribers, and writers, you should visit www.translationpeople.com and there you will find some very valuable tips, information, services, and resources.

For those of you who are interested in opening up your very own translation businesses, I can help you to get started and I can show you how to find those very rich, lucrative, untapped, and rapidly growing global markets.  I and my co-author Jeff N Marquis have just written our second book called "Untapped Wealth Discovered" and for literally just pennies you can pick up either a hard or E copy by visiting www.untappedwealth.com.

Hey there!  I'm Alix at the Untapped Wealth business desk and I wanted to bring your attention to a very common pitfall that is plaguing so many American businesses these days.  It's the pitfall that is guaranteed to help you lose your customers but if you avoid it like the plague then you can rest assure that you will not only keep your present customers but you will also be able to attract many new ones.  Business experts have named this pitfall the "I'm sorry" pitfall and I have a first hand experience to tell.

A few months ago I was having lunch with my mom and we both ordered grilled chicken breasts.  When our meals arrived I decided to dive into my chicken breast but after cutting a small piece and putting it into my mouth I realized that the chicken was spoiled.  It tasted awful and so I called the waitress over and told her that my chicken breast was ruined.  Without a word she grabbed my plate and told us that she would not charge us for my meal.  We left her a tip because we felt that it was not her fault but as we walked out I told my mom that I would not return to this restaurant for another meal.  When she asked me why I told her that the waitress had never said the magic words "I'm sorry."

That was a few months ago and last week I happened to pass by this restaurant and not to my surprise it was closed.  Some shoppers were loitering by and I stopped and asked them if they knew why the restaurant had closed.  Some of them immediately chorused that the service had been very poor especially when it came to customer service and they said that the restaurant had been forced to close due to poor attendance. 

When I got back to the office I mentioned this to some of my colleagues and one of them showed me a recent survey carried out by a leading research company in which it was revealed that one of the main reasons for small business closure is due to poor customer service.  So many businesses are often guilty of executing poor customer service and when customers start leaving them they fail to realize why.  This is a very common pitfall among businesses of all sizes because more often than not they take customers for granted but what they don't realize is that so many referrals come about as a result of by word of mouth and if one person has a bad customer service experience you can bet your last dollar that they will tell someone about it and that someone will tell others and so on.  If you are presently having problems keeping or increasing your customers then take a long hard look at your customer service department and you may be very surprised at what you discover.

If you would like to know how to use good customer service to help you increase your revenues and your customer base then you should purchase a copy of Untapped Wealth Discovered written by Jeff N Marquis and Kerry J Harrison.  Visit www.untappedwealth.com and pick up a copy today.

Hey there!  I'm Alix at the business desk and I want to share a success story with you.

Jamie has given me permission to tell you about him and he wants to thank the authors of Untapped Wealth Discovered for helping him to become a successful small town businessman.

About five years ago Jamie was laid off from his job after having worked for about seven years at the same company.  He had joined the company after graduating from high school and whence he was laid off he had no idea what he was going to do.  He was in his mid 20s and had to find work quickly in order to support his wife and two kids.  Things were tough for the first few years but one day Jamie bought a book from the business section in the small book store in his home town and ironically enough he found out that there was going to be some guest speakers at the university campus that very same week and one of these speakers would be Kerry J Harrison.  

Jamie did not think much of this irony but he decided to attend the presentation anyway and as he tells me it was probably one of the best decisions that he has ever made.  

Jamie has taken advantage of the strategies and books written by Kerry J Harrison and Jeff N Marquis to help him set up a very successful trucking business in a small town in California.  He started small with one truck and just him and his brother driving the business but after two years he has had to hire five additional employees and two additional trucks to meet the demands of his clientele.  Jamie offers moving and delivery services to the folks of his small town and he tells me that he has started to receive requests from neighboring towns.

He wants to thank Kerry and Jeff for helping him to get on his feet.  You can buy either a hard or E copy of Untapped Wealth Discovered written by Jeff N Marquis and Kerry J Harrison at www.untappedwealth.com.

Hello there, it's Matt at the Untapped Wealth business desk.

The start Internet business concept has been around for some time now and it is only fair to say that this concept has been struggling for the most part however within the last six months it has been making a strong turn around due to some very savvy strategies being used by some very enterprising entrepreneurs across America.

Thanks to a lot of in depth research, creativity, and innovative ideas, the start Internet business concept is now well on the way to making some very big bucks for several small businesses and entrepreneurs.  These persons are focusing their attention on specific segments of the Internet market instead of trying to cater to the entire globe.  They are zooming in on the demands and needs of certain niche segments, specific types of consumers, and specific segments that have the potential to be around for a very long time.  In short, they are concentrating on segments that are real, safe, and filled with growth where demand is ahead of supply.  You too can benefit from this growing concept if you know where to look and what to do. 

I have two suggestions for you:  First, read the October issue of the STAE free online magazine at www.sterlingcreations.ca/magazine.html and when you are finished you should pick up a copy of the book Untapped Wealth Discovered written by Jeff N Marquis and Kerry J Harrison.  This book will show you how to invest wisely in your future by choosing the safest and most logical business venture that would cater to the needs of real consumers and real markets.

Good afternoon everyone, I'm Kerry J Harrison co-author of "Untapped Wealth Discovered."

I'd like to tell you about a very profitable small business idea that is quickly gaining strength among small businesses and entrepreneurs these days across America and this particular small business idea seems to be turning in to a so-called cash find for those who are involved.  This small business idea has been around for a while and it is not anything new however with the changing trend in shopping habits at supermarkets the experts are figuring that it is going to become more and more of a sound and lucrative income earner.

What we have here is as follows:  In a very recent survey CNN news revealed that about 62% of shoppers are now engaging iin quick shopping trips to supermarkets whereby they run in and run out.  They buy just enough items to make a meal and then they return two or so days later and repeat the same thing.  In short, these consumers are no longer filling their shopping carts on a weekly basis.  Instead, they are buying smaller amounts of items and doing it more frequently.  

Several small supermarkets and independent grocers have been taking note of this growing trend and accordingly they have begun to reconfigure their aisles to cater to the new type of shopping.  For example:  They now place their mayonnaise and salad dressings next to the veggies and greens.  The fruits close to the bread and milk.  Frozen dinners close to the greens and so on.  We are even seeing some very creative entrepreneurs who are offering pre-cooked meals at corner delis and culinary professionals who are offering to cook hearty and healthy meals for those very busy professionals who do not have time to cook their own meals.

This could be a very lucrative opportunity for those of you who are looking for either a new career or even a second career or sideline business.  I can help you to explore this potentially exciting opportunity.  My co-author Jeff N Marquis and I have just published our second book "Untapped Wealth Discovered" and our book contains the strategies that you will need in order to get started.  Moreover, our book can show you how to use your imagination and common sense to become small business savvy as well as stay ahead of your competition.

Hi everyone it's Heather at the Untapped Wealth business desk.

There is a very interesting concept that is gaining popularity among small and medium sized businesses across America these days and I have first hand information that this concept can help to increase both your revenues and customer base if it is executed in the right way.  We have several clients who have been using the service business idea concept for the past two years and on average they are telling us that they have been able to increase their annual revenues by about 45% and their customer base by about 20%.  As a matter of fact, several business experts are saying that the service business idea concept is being used in a variety of ways:  To increase revenues and customer bases, to expand and enhance product lines, to reduce some internal costs, and to attract customers beyond our borders.  Many small businesses are even using the service business idea concept to help them challenge bigger businesses and it seems to be working out just fine. 

I also want to point out that some entrepreneurs are using the service business idea concept to create some very interesting types of businesses and the experts are saying that this growing trend can only help to strengthen the small business and entrepreneur economy something that the American government is much in favour of. 

To learn more about the service business idea concept visit www.sterlingcreations.ca/magazine.html and take a look at the October issue of STAE the free monthly online magazine.

Hello everyone, I'm Jeff Marquis co-author of "Untapped Wealth Discovered."

There are some very lucrative opportunities in some very niche markets these days and I feel that these opportunities should be brought to your attention.

The American government is frantically looking for persons who would be interested in helping them to meet some very special demands and just last week the European parliament signalled its intension to seek and secure the same type of person in an attempt to meet these demands.  You see, there is an overwhelming demand for travel agents to provide special types of services to millions of global consumers.  The American and European governments are presently wrestling with these demands because they are unable to meet them on their own and this is why they are desperately seeking your help.

Here's the picture:  With a rapidly aging population more and more aging baby boomers are starting to travel more and they are also demanding more and more special services when they travel.  Several world governments are aware of this and as part of their massive effort to meet these demands they have started to pass legislation to ensure that cruise lines, airlines, and other companies in the travel industry take steps to fully cater to these demands.  A few months ago the American government passed legislation to ensure that cruise lines are ready to cater to the needs of our aging baby boomers and next month in Strasbourg the European parliament will be asked to pass similar legislation that would affect transportation companies ranging from railway and bus companies to airlines and airports.

Our aging baby boomers are expected to make up about 60% of our North American population by 2010 and it is also estimated that they would own about 70% of our banking assets.  This is a very financially influential group of consumers and world governments especially America is only too aware of this and this is why they are bending over backwards to meet these ballooning demands.

What you have here is a very lucrative niche market filled with financially secure consumers who are hungrily demanding special services.  I can help you to learn more about these markets and I can show you how to get started.  I and my co-author Kerry J Harrison have just published our second book "Untapped Wealth Discovered" and you can pick up either a hard or E copy at www.untappedwealth.com.  These markets are safe, the opportunities are real,  but above all these consumers exist and their demands are very tangible.

Hi there!  I'm Jayna at the Untapped Wealth business desk and I wanted to share some words of encouragement with all of my fellow small business women. 

I know that it is not easy for us women to make it in the business world and by business world I mean the corporate business world.  However, I honestly feel that there are very real and safe alternatives just waiting out there for you to take advantage of.  I recently read an article in a magazine where one woman talks about her success at balancing a career and motherhood.  It's a very enlightening article because this woman tells how much she enjoys both and what she does to stay ahead of the game.

I believe that there is definitely a place in the business world for us women.  Especially so in the small business world and as a matter of fact our American government is offering very enticing incentives to those women who are interested in setting up small businesses.  The small business idea for woman concept is really taking off these days across the United States and maybe it's time for you to explore this concept.

To read the article that I mentioned visit www.sterlingcreations.ca/magazine.html and take a look at the October issue under the president's feature.

Hi, I'm Jayna at the business desk and I am just delighted to report on a successful small business woman.

This successful female entrepreneur wanted me to tell you her story.  She retired from her job as a head nurse about five years ago and at first she was not sure what she wanted to do with her time.  She travelled for a few months then she got into volunteer work helping other retirees around their homes with odd jobs.  She helped them to paint, do basic carpenter, and just simple things around the house.  She even helped out in the sewing and darning areas.  Then one day she was browsing in a book store and came across a book written by Kerry J Harrison.  She bought it and took it home to read during her spare time and this was the beginning of a turn in her life.

She read the book from cover to cover and thought long and hard about what the author was proposing and after some indecision she decided to open her own little home-based business.  She decided to offer home services whereby she would paint, darn, sew, and do basic carpenter and repair work around the house.

That was four years ago and now our successful business woman is running her own home services venture out of her home.  She has three other women working with her and for the past two years she has been clearing a very healthy five figure income for herself in addition to paying her workers well. 

Gina would like to thank Kerry J Harrison for her success and she has just bought the latest book that Kerry has co-authored with Jeff N Marquis.  Kerry's first book is no longer available but you can pick up either a hard or E copy of "Untapped Wealth Discovered" at www.untappedwealth.com.  Gina wanted me to tell you that "Untapped Wealth Discovered" is much better than the first book and that it contains some very sensible and dynamite ideas for women, retirees, college students, and in general for those who are serious about earning extra income without having to risk too much.

Hey there I'm Alix at the Untapped Wealth business desk.

I want to tell you about some very interesting goings on in Britain these days.  It appears that British consumers are frantically looking for cheaper resources these days because it is becoming more and more difficult for them to afford the sky rocketing prices being demanded by suppliers.  In addition, the British government is offering some very enticing incentives to foreign investors particularly to small and medium sized businesses.

This may be a good time for you to jump in if you are interested in expanding your business horizons.  As a matter of fact, several business experts are predicting that for at least the next decade Britain may be one of the most lucrative and safest markets for small businesses.  The time may be ripe for you to either offer your products and services to consumers in Britain, or to invest in certain types of British businesses.

If you would like to offer your services to those hungry British consumers then visit www.translationpeople.com and there you will find a number of examples of the types of services that you can offer.

Hi everyone, it's Heather at the Untapped Wealth business desk and I'd like to report on a very successful teenaged entrepreneur.

This young man presently lives in a small town in Montana and about two and a half years ago he expressed his desire to start his own DJ business.  At first his parents were very hesitant because they were not sure as to how to go about helping their young son but they decided to do some research on the Internet and they accidentally stumbled across the first book written by Kerry J Harrison.  (Untapped Wealth)

They bought the book but after reading it they decided to go one step further by contacting MS Harrison who agreed to meet with them after listening to their questions and desires.

To cut to the chaste, MS Harrison spent some time with both parents and young budding entrepreneur and she guided them through the most difficult stages of setting up a DJ business.  At the end of the first year our young entrepreneur Tim had managed to break even but by the end of the second year he had managed to make a very tidy profit of $5,000. 

Tim is starting to strive in his small town and he runs his business on weekends.  He has managed to snare several types of customers including the two major dance halls in his town and the three largest church basement recreation centers.  He is in his final year of high school and he hopes to continue and expand his DJ business as his career.

Both Tim and his parents have told us that they owe a lot to Kerry Harrison.  They continue to speak highly of her first book and they believe that her second book which she has co-authored with Jeff N Marquis is even better.

You can purchase either a hard or E copy of this second book "Untapped Wealth Discovered" at www.untappedwealth.com.

Hello there,

It's Matt at the Untapped Wealth business desk.

Many of you may be familiar with the business card idea concept but I'd like to pass on a few very important tips to you.  However, before doing so you should be aware that the business card idea concept is quickly becoming a popular marketing tool in the United States these days.

First, you should not use the business card idea concept as your one and only marketing weapon.  Include it as part of your marketing arsenal.

Second, Pay close attention to the color of your card.  Ensure that there is a distinctive contrast between the text of your card and the color of your card.

Third, use text styles that are easy to read and easy to decipher.

Fourth, pay close attention to the text and font sizes on your card.  You should use different text and font sizes to distinguish your company's name, email address, phone number, and so on.

Fifth, most important of all ensure that the layout of your card is not too cluttered or busy.

The objective of the business card idea concept is for you to create messages that are slick and filled with visual and psychological impact.  Several of our clients are telling us that they are using the business card idea concept to attract the attention of those customers who are carrying out their business outside the bounds of the Internet and it's working quite successfully for them.

If you would like to know how you can implement a successful business card idea then you should visit www.sterlingcreations.ca and check out their ghost writers who would be delighted to provide you with some free tips.

Hi there!  I'm Jeff Marquis co-author of the book "Untapped Wealth Discovered."

I have a business idea that may be of interest to those retirees who are looking for a new career.  In fact, this idea may also appeal to those who are looking for a home-based business idea and I can assure you that this idea is quickly catching on across North America.  Here's the deal.

Due to the increasing demand by a rapidly aging population and by aging baby boomers for more travel services, several of our retired clients have begun to venture in to a new career.  I am delighted to tell you that we have been helping them to set themselves up as special travel agents and they are finding it lots of fun.  They work from the comfort of their homes, set their own schedules, choose their clients, and most of all they are having lots of fun doing it.  The demand for special travel services is growing by leaps and bounds and in addition to this the American government is pushing the travel industry to offer more and more special travel services.  As a matter of fact a few months ago the American government passed legislation to ensure that cruise lines are made accessible to all consumers.  Particularly seniors and special needs persons.

I would like to help you get off to a roaring start if you are interested.  My co-author Kerry Harrison and I have just published our second book "Untapped Wealth Discovered" and I believe that our book contains what you need in order to make a good start into a career that can potentially bring you immense financial and personal satisfaction.

Good afternoon, I'm Kerry Harrison co-author of the book "Untapped Wealth Discovered."

According to several business and economic watchers in the United States there seems to be an increasing number of small businesses springing up across our country.  Recent stats have shown that for the past three years there has been an average of a 20% increase in the number of small businesses in America but whereas in the recent past the annual average of small business bankruptcy was about 75%, last year's average dropped appreciably to about 40%.  

I believe that there are several reasons for this present picture and I along with several others feel that this trend is going to continue for the foreseeable future.  To begin with, small business owners are becoming more and more savvy when it comes to running their businesses.  In addition, they are choosing more wisely when it comes to the type of products and services that they are offering.  They are making more astute decisions re the types of markets that they venture into, they are using better financial strategies, developing better business plans, and taking advantage of very flexible small business loans.  This trend is also being helped by the American government as they strive to foster and maintain the development of the small business economy.  Big businesses and large financial institutions are also very keen to see the development of the small business economy as they continue to struggle to keep up with demand from certain global markets.

If you are thinking of becoming a small business owner or entrepreneur then this may be the right time for you to take the plunge.  The sky could be the limit for you and if you have a creative imagination and a flare for innovation then you should definitely think of going into business for yourself.  I can help you to get started.  I and my co-author Jeff N Marquis have just published our second book called "Untapped Wealth Discovered" and you can pick up either a hard or E copy by visiting www.untappedwealth.com.

    Good evening it's Alix at the Untapped Wealth business desk.

I read something very interesting in a leading American business magazine yesterday and I just wanted to highlight it.

Apparently there is a concept that is rapidly gaining attention across America and Britain and it's being called the using your customers to win new customers concept.  In a nutshell many medium sized and large corporations have been using this concept for the last six months and it is proving to be very affective and profitable.  Here's how it works. 

Some companies are using their present customers as spokes persons to help them attract new customers.  They are actually paying them for their services and it seems to be working out for both customers and companies.  From what we have been observing customers are going out there and are appearing in audio, TV, and printed  ads.  They give testimonials on behalf of these companies and talk about their personal experiences re the use of products and services of these companies.  The secret to success seems to lie in using the right type of customer to promote the right type of product and/or service.  For example:  Kids promoting breakfast cereals and toys, teens promoting video games and clothes, moms promoting laundry detergents and frozen foods, dads promoting cameras and cars, and so on. 

You may think that this is an old concept and maybe it is.  However, the business experts believe that you can now take advantage of this growing trend by offering the services of both you and your kids to these companies.  It may be time for you to look into these types of opportunities.

If you need help in getting started you may want to pick up either a hard or E copy of "Untapped Wealth Discovered" written by Jeff N Marquis and Kerry J Harrison.  This very affordable book contains lots of strategies and ideas for both you and your kids.

Hey there I'm Heather at the Untapped Wealth business desk and today I have a success story for you.

One of our clients is really proving that the small business idea for woman concept is no fluke.  She retired from her teaching job about three years ago and after some hesitation she decided to seek a second career as a travel agent.  She chose her second career because of her interest in travelling and she has not regretted a day ever since.

Carolyn has been able to carve out a niche for herself in the very fast pace travel industry.  She has set up herself as a special needs travel agent and she specializes in planning and developing trips for seniors, retirees, and special needs persons.  She started small but after three years she has expanded her business from a one woman show to a 20 person team.  She has had to work hard but today she is happy to report that her gross income for last year topped the one million dollar mark.  She used the services of Sterling Creations to help her advertise on the Internet and she now works closely with this company to execute in depth Internet advertising and conferences.  

You can visit Sterling Creations at www.sterlingcreations.ca.  Carolyn wanted me to pass on this message to all you budding business women.

"The small business idea for woman really works.  Just choose something that you enjoy doing, do your research, seek professional help from those who can really help you, and just go from there."

Good morning it's Jayna at the Untapped Wealth business desk.

Are you aware that there are some very rich and rapidly expanding markets just waiting for you?  Markets that can present you with boundless business opportunities and very hungry consumers who are dying to do business with us Americans? 

These consumers are chomping at the bit to find American partners who would be willing to sell their products and services for them.  They have the money to pay for what they seek but they are looking for businesses who can provide them with specific services.  In addition, they are searching for those American businesses who would like to sell their products and services to them.  There is a real potential to make lots of money on a steady basis and you can definitely do this in a safe and logical way.  However, there are a few very important things that you should be aware of before you decide to dive into these very lucrative markets.

These markets reside in China and India and these consumers are very serious about expanding their business horizons.  They are looking for American businesses to help them translate their messages, adapt their products and services to the North American standard, convert their websites to accommodate multi languages, help them to adapt more easily into the North American culture, provide them with English skills both written and spoken, plus much more.  If you would like to get in on the action then you should visit www.translationpeople.com and there you will find some very useful resources and services to get you started.

Hello everyone,

It's Matt at the Untapped Wealth business desk.

I recently read an article where they are talking about a growing trend that seems destined to change the landscape of our business world.

Yes, it's our kids that are behind this trend and from what I have read they are really cooking up a storm when it comes to innovative ideas, marketing strategies, and entrepreneurial brashness.  These new breed of business professional is very young, not afraid to ask questions and seek answers, and very imaginative. 

They are making inroads into the way that certain companies  are marketing their products these days.  Companies such as breakfast cereal manufacturers, toy manufacturers, video game manufacturers, fast food chains, clothes an fashion designers plus many more. 

I think that the time has finally arrived for both parents and kids to cash in on this new trend.  It is a very exciting time for kids to start developing and honing their entrepreneurial skills and it is a very crucial time for parents to start helping their kids to secure their future.  Lots of opportunities are ripe for the taking.  As kid consultants to large companies, as entrepreneurs of ideas for kids, and as small business partners with their parents.  

If you are serious about staking out a successful future for your kids then you should pick up either a hard or E copy of "Untapped Wealth Discovered" written by Jeff Marquis and Kerry Harrison.  Visit www.untappedwealth.com/order.htm.  Or you can contact Jeff at jeff@untappedwealth.com or Kerry at kerry@untappedwealth.com.

Hello, it's Jeff co-author of "Untapped Wealth Discovered".

I wanted to share some news with you that came across the wire from Britain yesterday.  It appears that seniors in Britain have decided to show who's the boss as they have taken drastic action to revolt against the rise in municipal taxes. 

Within the last four years pensions for seniors in Britain have risen by about 42% but at the same time municipal taxes have risen by about 104%.  Some seniors have chosen to go to prison rather than pay their increased taxes and some of them have even said that they would do it again rather than pay the increases.

This is big news in Britain because some of those who spent time in jail said that they were well treated and that they only had to spend a few weeks.  No more than a month for not having paid their taxes.  Needless to say that this bold and drastic action on the part of those outspoken seniors has brought about the desired affect and I thought that I would highlight this bit of news to show you that seniors are and can be extremely influencial when it comes to influencing certain trends and conditions.  The municipal taxes have been rolled back to match the increase in pensions.

It's what my co-author Kerry J Harrison and I are talking about in our latest book "Untapped Wealth Discovered".  Seniors are becoming more and more influencial in dictating the trends and behavior of our markets and if you are looking for ways to increase your earnings then it's time for you to tune into the needs, demands, and desires of our seniors.

Good day it's Kerry J Harrison co-author of the book Untapped Wealth Discovered.

I would like to tell you about a booming small business idea that is quickly taking hold in America these days.  Did you know that there is a very hidden and niche market out there just waiting for you to take advantage of it?  I am referring to the health and wellness market.

It is estimated that at the present time this market is worth about 300 billion dollars and the experts are very confident that by 2010 it would be worth about one trillion dollars.  This means that this market is expected to more than triple its worth in just five short years.  You may be asking why this market is worth so much and what is going to make it worth so much more by 2010.  The answer is very simple. 

Our aging baby boomers are the consumers who are driving this market because as they grow older they are intensifying their demands for more and more products and services that are related to health and wellness.  At the present time many large companies and even the American government are under tremendous pressure to fill these demands and they have begun to turn to small businesses and entrepreneurs to help them.  The general opinion among the business experts is that as time marches on small businesses and entrepreneurs will be asked to play a more important role in filling these demands.  There is a whack of small business ideas for you to explore and now is the time for you to get in on the ground floor before others learn about these opportunities.

I along with my co-author Jeff N Marquis can help you to get started today.  For literally just pennies you can pick up a copy of our book Untapped Wealth Discovered and I can assure you that our book will help you to generate and develop hundreds of small business ideas.

Hi!  I'm Jeff Marquis and I'm the co-author of Untapped Wealth Discovered.

In response to a posting by Heather at the Untapped Wealth business desk I want to tell you that there is a growing demand out there for proof readers, editors, and ghost writers.  This is an excellent chance for you to start a home based business and I can assure you that the opportunities are limitless.  You can have the chance to interact with customers and clients on a global basis and at the present time there is a spiralling demand from consumers in the UK, the middle East, and right here in our backyard in good old America.

This type of business can give you the opportunity to make your own schedules and plan your work day around your other tasks.  The experts are saying that the demand for PEGS as I like to term it will continue to grow as more and more non English-speaking consumers as well as those whose first language is not English continue to look for ways to get their information out to the English-speaking world.  As it stands today over 90% of faxes, emails, and Internet business is conducted in English.  

A Marvellous opportunity for you and you should grab it.  I can help you to get started.  Pick up a copy of Untapped Wealth Discovered written by me and Kerry I Harrison.  Visit www.untappedwealth.com/order.htm.

Hey there it's Heather from the business desk.

Just wanted to share a success story from one of our clients.

This particular client was having problems attracting new customers.  They could not figure out why and after some hesitation they decided to run a mini survey among their customers.  The results were very surprising to them but after some analysis they had to agree.  Here's what they discovered.

Many of their customers complained that their web content was difficult to read, phrases were too long and cumbersome, sentences were too difficult to understand, and products were not being properly described.  In short, our client's website was filled with meaningless words that were too difficult to understand and product descriptions simply did not match the types of products that were being sold. 

Our client did some research and decided to hire some professional writers to help them redesign their web content.  It did not take long for results to show.  About three months after the professional writers had done their job new customers began to come to our client's website and profits began to move upwards.  Our client has told us that these professional writers have made a big difference to their revenue and customer bases and that since the new content design profits have increased by about 20%.

You can visit these writers at www.sterlingcreations.ca and check out the ghost writers link.

Good morning it's Alix at the business desk. 

I just wanted to expand a bit on Matt's posting about credit card fraud and identity theft.  There are a few basic tips that I want to pass on and these come from hard core personal experience as well as input from some of our clients.

First, you should not ship products or carry out services until you have received confirmation that your client's credit card is valid and able to accept debits.  Next, it may be a good idea for you to ask for full payment if the payment due is under two thousand dollars.  Anything over the two thousand mark and you may want to ask for half the amount as down payment.

Re identity theft:  Never disclose your banking details, social security number, user name, or password to anyone who asks you to do it in an email.  Be sure to check out all or any emails that ask you for such information.

For more information on this topic you can visit www.sterlingcreations.ca/magazine.html and check out the September issue of STAE the free online magazine.

Hello, It's Matt at the Untapped Wealth business desk.

One of the hottest topics for online merchants and consumers is credit card
fraud and identity theft. Did you know that small businesses are affected
more than larger online stores? That's because criminals often assume that
small businesses can't invest in top-of-the-line fraud detection.  This assumption is becoming more and more of a figment of the imagination because there are companies out there who are offering very top of the line services to small businesses and entrepreneurs as they are very aware of the growing number of small businesses on the Internet.  The small business economy is very much alive on the Internet and the demand for credit card fraud and identity theft protection is growing by leaps and bounds. 

What we are seeing these days is the growth of those companies who are very willing, ready, and capable of giving protection to small businesses on the Internet and they are really refining and sharpening their skills in order to deal with the increasing number of fraud and identity theft criminals.

Before you accept payment from any new client on the Internet be sure to register with a reputable company that will help you to check out your client's method of payment.  A company that will be able to protect you from fraudulent methods and fraudulent persons.  I would like to recommend the 2Checkout company.  Visit them at www.2checkout.com.

Hey there I'm Jayna at the Untapped Wealth business desk and I recently read an article about women facing a glass ceiling in the workplace.

According to this article there seems to be a glass ceiling in the workplace because there are several employees who do not believe that women are capable of holding their own in the board room.  Moreover, there are too many male executives who are guilty of deliberately employing tactics to stop their female competitors from climbing the corporate ladder. 

Companies such as Wall Mart are presently facing law suits from several of their female employees who are claiming discrimination in the workplace.  There are also some companies out there who have been found to be paying their new male hirees more than their new female hirees.  I am here to tell my women folk that they should not dismay too much over this.  True it is that there is lot of prrestege when a woman is able to climb the corporate ladder and rise above all of this but there is a definite alternative.  Yes, opening your very own business.

There are lots of opportunities for bright, ambitious, innovative, and imaginative women.  The small business and entrepreneurial economies are booming and expanding and you women out there should take a serious look at this.

To read more about the article that I just mentioned visit www.sterlingcreations.ca/magazine.html and take a look at the September issue or better still pick up a copy of Untapped Wealth Discovered written by Jeff N Marquis and Kerry J Harrison and there you will find lots of valueable ideas for women.
