The “freemium” business model is one that works quite well.

What is freemium you ask? It’s the concept between FREE and PREMIUM, yet it can be molded into a unique business model in many different ways.

One example of a successful freemium business model is all of the iPhone apps out there that are free. Think about Angry Birds… would it be as successful as it is today if there wasn’t a free version out there for everyone to play?

Yet at the same time these apps are still generating millions of dollars for their parent companies. The app is free but they are still making money by placing paid advertising through the app, or if they allow users to take action and sign up to different offers in order to get free credits or bonuses. The user gets a few free credits, and the app maker is compensated with a commission on each referred lead through their app. Continue reading →

Sometimes the most powerful lessons come early on in life. Maybe it’s because we are more impressionable at that age or maybe it’s just because we look back fondly upon those times. Regardless of the reason, those lessons stick with us for the rest of our lives and often shape who we are and how we perceive things.

Our early experiences with money are one of those things that can go a long way. If we learn the value of money and how to save, later in life we are a lot more likely to put a priority on sound money management. On the flipside, if we are allowed to squander money when we’re kids, guess what will probably come naturally to us when we’re older? Of course, things can change our views as we mature, but those early memories can have a bigger effect than you might think. Continue reading →

So you want to earn some extra money on the side of your full time job, but don’t know where to start. In another case you may have been approached by a friend about joining a business opportunity but you’re just not sure if it’s right for you.

These are the very concerns I had when I was looking at joining a business opportunity, and no matter if it’s Avon or Amway there are always things we may not consider before we join and would have been nice to know beforehand.

So in this article I’m going to cover several things I learned when I joined a financial services business opportunity called World Financial Group (WFG) and what you should know before you get started.

Is The Company Legit

The first thing you may be wondering is this business opportunity even legit? If the company is Amway, or some other name brand company you’ll be pretty safe. However, if you’ve never heard of the company before you may want to do a little bit more digging. Continue reading →

My wife Sam and I took a trip to the outlets to “browse around.” I needed a new winter coat and we had seen some deals for Sam to look through, but didn’t want to rack up a ton of credit card debt.

We end up, however, in a small, popular (expensive) fashion store which happens to hold Sam’s dream purse. I had been trying to put off the purse purchase for a while, but there was no escape this time.

Looking around at the high-end purses, I sneak peeks at the prices: most are over $400!

I’ve been wanting to get her one of these for a while, but I never knew the price got that high. So we look around some more, the eager salesman complimenting her with every purse she touches. Continue reading →

People are always looking for ways to save money on their insurance. Whether it is auto insurance, home insurance, or even travel insurance; getting the best possible price is important. Who wants to pay more for insurance if they don’t have to, right? Well, the truth is that there are lots of people that are overpaying for both home and auto insurance for one simple reason.

What is it? It is surprising how many people don’t combine their insurance policies into one plan with one insurer. Doing this will qualify them for a discount with almost any insurance company.

But, if you have your home and auto policies with separate companies, then you need to decide which company is the best option. Obviously, price will be the major determining factor, but you also have to weigh other factors such as other potential discounts, customer service, and overall reputation of the insurance company.
