Turn Everyday Spending into College Savings!



Upromise.comWhat if you could turn your everyday spending in to college savings?

What if you could help build a home for some of the most impoverished children around the world?

What if you could do all this without it costing you a dime?

Would you consider that a pretty good deal? I thought so.

That's why I teamed up with Upromise and the Caring House Project Foundation

What's this all about, I'm glad you asked. Let me tell you about it.

I am a marketing consultant and one of my clients is Upromise is it? Upromise allows you to save toward college for anyone you designate just by doing what you
already do, shop. When you buy groceries, go out to eat, buy gas, go to your local drug store,
a percentage of your receipts is placed in a College Savings account. Join Upromise for FREE and let hundreds of America’s leading companies help you save for college
Not bad, huh?

Ok, so what is Caring House Project? I knew you'd ask that.
Frank McKinney is a Real Estate "artist";
super hero meets Robin Hood, 2-time international best-selling author (with 3 more books by 2.13.09);
risk taker & visionary who sees opportunities & creates markets where none existed before.

He is considered the Maverick real estate developer who is famous for building the most luxurious, most
expensive homes in southern Florida. In 1998 he developed the Caring House Project
to provide homes and villages for the poorest people, in the poorest locations, in the poorest cities in the
Western Hemisphere.

What do these two have to do with each other? Nothing, except I've decided to combine these two powerful
entities to make a huge difference. When you enroll in Upromise to begin building college savings, I will donate
$2 toward the Caring House Project Foundation. The idea is for a lot of people to make a big difference in the lives of millions.

My goal is to reach the $2,000 which is the donation required to attend the grand unveiling of Frank McKinney's newest project, Aqua Liana, the the most expensive green house estate and book signing on February 13. This donation will build 1/2 a home for a family in the Caring House Project Foundation.

Isn't that awesome!, So let me recap:

You enroll in Upromise for FREE and begin your college savings when you shop

  1. I will donate $2 toward Caring House Project unveiling on February 13
  2. You receive great satisfaction in knowing you are saving toward college for your loved ones
  3. and helping to build homes for some of the world's poorest children and families

It can't get any better than that. Imagine, never can so little do so much for so many. And you didn't have to spend a dime, nothing, nada, zilch!

Why not get started now. The deadline is November 30th for this promotion. So do it now while you're thinking about it.

Join me in these worthwhile projects of higher education and building homes for some of the world's poorest citizens.

Do it today!

3 Ways to Succeed in This Economy

By Brian Tracy
November 11, 2008
Excerpt From: Sales Success
Are you wondering what to do to attract clients and create a surge in sales? Are you frustrated by getting minimal response to your advertising or online promotions? Are you asking yourself,

"How can I avoid having my sales and profits dry up in this market?"

"Should I reduce spending on marketing to preserve cash?"

If you're like most business owners and marketers, you're doing everything you know how to bring in more sales, and you're still not realizing the profits you want. You've worked for years to grow your business and now a financial meltdown that you had nothing to do with is making it harder.

What can you do? You could bury your head in the sand and hope you've still got a business in a few years. You could copy your competitors' marketing, but their sales are hurting, too. Or you could ask yourself,

"Is there a way I can actually grow my business in this economy?"

Yes, there are easy and inexpensive ways to increase your profits.

Start with these 3 steps:

1. Change Your Marketing Strategy
When we get the rare cold spell here in San Diego, I change the clothing I wear. I put on a sweater or even a jacket. The same is true for your marketing strategy; when the economic climate changes, you need to respond.

In good times you can get away with fairly ineffective marketing, and the rising tide will float your boat along with everybody else's. In an economic downturn, you can't afford to be haphazard about your marketing. You'll pay the price in reduced sales. Spending money on ads or mailings that barely generate sales isn't affordable anymore.

2. Focus Your Efforts
While fusion food is popular here in San Diego, we don't have a single restaurant that is a combination of French, Italian, Mexican and Chinese cuisines. Can you imagine a pasta dish with jalapeno cream sauce and a ginger root topping? It'd taste terrible. That's not a time-tested combination of flavors; it's a mess in the kitchen.

Unfortunately, most small business marketing isn't much more than a mess in the kitchen, a collection of sales and marketing activities that don't work together. Many businesses don't grow as fast as they could because they don't have an optimized marketing strategy or a system for implementing it.

3. Use Cost Effective Marketing Strategies
Let me tell you a secret. Some of the most effective marketing and selling tools are inexpensive or even free. Most people don't use them, so when you do, you can easily beat the competition. 92% of businesses overspend on marketing. They're wasting money on marketing that isn't getting results.

You may be doing all the right marketing activities, but without an effective marketing system, you could be struggling for a long, unprofitable time. Now, thanks to marketing expert Charlie Cook, there's an easy way to transform your marketing, grow your business and maximize your profits.
