Why Internet Marketing Videos Are So Powerful

May 5th, 2010

Being successful at internet and affiliate marketing is the Shangri-la of a huge number of people online.

Fed up with unfulfilling jobs, interminable commutes, lifetime loan repayments – the list goes on – people see the internet as akin to a Gold Rush. Millions to be made online if only you know where to look.

We’ve all heard the stories about those who’ve struck it rich on the internet. And we’re not talking about savvy business people, but average Joe’s and even teenagers who’ve followed a program and seen real results for their labors. Sure, there are the internet entrepreneurs who conceive an original idea, run with it and create a product that suddenly everyone wants – niche marketing of the highest order. But as with any walk of life, those entrepreneurs are both few and far between as well as being risk takers.

Most people don’t like taking big risks or have that creative spark and even if they do, don’t know how to make the most of their idea. Like the prospectors of old, most people rush off to the store, buy some inappropriate tools and go prospecting for internet riches without knowing the first thing about what they’re doing.

Needless to say, most people fail at making any real income online. Knowing the right tools to use and where to dig for internet gold is a huge step in the right direction.

The provision of information products is a boom industry, and a huge portion of it concentrates on telling people how to make money online. But, as you’ll find out if you buy a number of these products, a lot of information is regurgitated as well as being out of date in the fast-changing internet world. Besides, ebooks can be very dry reading.

Internet marketing Video tutorials, on the other hand, are easy on the eye and they provide real examples of tips and techniques in action. You are, literally, looking over the shoulder of someone who’s demonstrating a procedure in real time. And, if you don’t get it first time, you can replay the video as often as you like till it sinks in.

It turns out that most people are visual in nature which is why they respond more to visual cues rather than the written word. Why do you think store windows tend to use animated displays to get your attention rather than big banners. Moving images engage the mind. That’s why learning from internet marketing videos is so powerful. And it’s a technique you’ll learn from quickly. An instructor’s personality comes across much more strongly through video and audio than it ever can from a book. So does enthusiasm, which can drive you on to succeed when relying on printed words just drains you.

There are now some great internet marketing video training products available to help you in your goal of succeeding online. I’d urge you to consider these as an alternative to a simple ebook. The advantages to you are enormous.

Discover how you can gain instant access to a goldmine of powerful Internet Marketing video tutorials [http://www.internetmarketingvideotutorial.com], that take you by the hand and show you step-by-step how to fast-track your way to online financial success AND you’ll also get Master Resell Rights to these videos so you can sell them and keep all the profits!…

The Average Student Loan

May 4th, 2010

Planning for higher education can call for the need of a higher education if you do not know what to look for. Knowing the types of loans available for the average student will help you fill the need for tuition and other school related expenses.

First, contact the Financial Aid office at your school to determine if they work with specific banks or companies. This will help speed the process along, and they can also let you know the requirements for the funding they have available. Many schools will send you to a few websites to search for grants and scholarships. This is fine. There are scholarships available for every career ranging from Groundskeeper to Doctor. Searching for these should be done before applying to school if you want to use this as a form of payment, as many have deadlines and paperwork that must be completed prior to award.

The average student will qualify for GSL or the “Student Loan” that most students talk about. There are two types available to the independent student: Subsidized and Unsubsidized. The difference between these two is that the interest is accruing while in school on the Unsubsidized loans. Most schools will try to apply for the Subsidized first, as this saves you money. If this is all the money you need, you are in luck. This means that your Subsidized loan will not accrue interest until your deferment period is up, or 6 months after graduation. If you still need funds, the Unsubsidized loan will be applied for, and it does accrue interest from the date you originate the loan. You can pay on the interest while you are in school to keep your payments down later, but it is not required. Always ask for In School Deferment, as this keeps you from making payments until you have graduated.

To apply for and receive these loans, there is no credit check, but a proof of need is required. This is where the Financial Aid office comes in. Fill out any FAFSA paperwork they may give you, or go to the official website and fill out your information. If you do this online, you will need to apply for and receive an education pin. This can take from as little as 5 minutes, to as long as 5 days to get this pin in your email. So if you plan on applying last minute, go to the Financial Aid office first. They will get your information processed faster than you can get it done at home. When filling out your FAFSA online, you will be required to have last year’s taxes available for your income. Personal questions will be asked such as one that wants to know if you have ever been convicted of a drug charge. This will not help your case getting a loan. Be truthful in all answers, as this is your education. You want as much as you can get. School is expensive and hard. Make sure you have all the money you need to pay for it all.

There are aggregate limits for each type of loan. This means there is a cap on the amount you can get each semester, and overall per year. As an Independent Student, you must live on your own or not be on anyone else’s taxes, and not covered under your parent’s insurance. This means you get more on your loans than those who live at home and have a parent to help with tuition. For each year of school, the aggregate limit goes up. Your grace period is 6 months from the date of your graduation. Now if you leave school early or do not finish, your loan company can request the loan be paid in full immediately. So do your best to stick to your commitment to yourself and get your education. If you back out, if could cost you more than a few dirty looks from family members.

APR or Annual Percentage Rate is calculated into your loan at a national percentage when the loan is taken out. Most companies charge at a rate of 5% to 9% per loan. This means that the percentage is taken of the amount you request and then added to the interest. So if you get a loan for $2500 and the APR is 5%, then 5% is how much your interest will accrue at after your grace period. Don’t be discouraged, as the average payment for a $2500 loan after grace is around $38. Each company that offers student loans will have a loan calculator available. Use this, and it will give you an estimate of what your loan payment will be. Do not take this to the bank, it is used only as an estimate for your reference.

If you need more funding than the GSL will provide, you can always go with a Private loan. These are credit based loans, and if you do not have good credit or any credit, you will need a co-signer. A co-signer is someone who will put their name on the application with you, so that your loan can be considered. If you have bad or no credit and apply alone, there is a significant chance you will be turned down. Companies want to know they will get their money back, so they want someone with good credit. A parent or grandparent will help your credit score improve in the eyes of a lender. Don’t get upset if you cannot find a co-signer. There are many people that outright refuse to co-sign for anything. Would you want to put your name on a contract and promise to pay if the other person on that contract does not pay? That is what you are asking them to do, so choose wisely and realistically. These companies normally offer loans as low as $9000, and as much as $50000 depending on the career choice you have on file. Students who pursue medical careers get much higher aggregate limits than do other professions due to the cost of education. Always apply for the lowest limit you possibly can live with. Remember, you have to pay this back. And you CANNOT file bankruptcy on student loans. So there is no way out of it, you have to pay it back. If you fail to pay this back, on a yearly basis when you file taxes, Uncle Sam gets to keep your tax return to pay for all those loans. So it’s just easier to remember that this is your debt, and to be wise when choosing how to finance your future.

How to Fix Defaulted Student Loans and Wage Garnishments

May 3rd, 2010

In this tough economy, an increasing number of college graduates (and college drop-outs) are falling behind on their student loans. According to the Department of Education, federal student loan defaults were up to 6.9% in 2009, well above their 2008 of 5.2%. For those carrying private loans, defaults hit 3.37% in 2008 versus 1.47% in 2006, according to Sallie Mae, one of America’s largest providers of private loans.

As you probably already know, defaulting on a student loan is a very serious matter. A federal college loan falls into default status if you are supposed to make monthly payments, but have not done so for 270 days. For those whose student loan payments are less frequent, a default occurs once you haven’t made payments for 330 days. In either case, the government has the right to take your federal tax refund check or garnish up to 15% of your disposable pay in order to collect on a defaulted federal student loan. Defaulted student loans also negatively impact your credit.

Appealing a Wage Garnishment

The good news is that you can appeal a wage garnishment and request a hearing on the matter in order to demonstrate why it is that you can’t afford that the payments and wage garnishment your lender or guaranty agency is seeking. The U.S. Department of Education Debt Collection Services Office (DCS) holds the hearing after you fill out a “Request for Hearing” form regarding your wage garnishment, and send it to the Department of Education.

Your hearing can be done in-person, over the telephone, or in writing; the choice is up to you.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When you submit your Request for Hearing, make sure you also send another EXTREMELY IMPORTANT document. It is the “Financial Disclosure Statement,” a 3-page document in which you must document your income and itemize all your expenses.

The “Financial Disclosure Statement” form will be critical in the hearing/appeal process, and will be closely evaluated, so take the time to carefully list all your bills, and provide copies of those bills as requested.

On page 3 of the Financial Disclosure Statement, you will notice a line that says: “Based on this Statement, I think I can afford to pay $____ per month.” This is where you have an opportunity to essentially offer a counter-proposal to the Department of Education about your student loans. Regardless of what you’ve been asked to pay in the past, here is where you should realistically evaluate your budget and come up with a number that you can undoubtedly pay (without a huge financial strain) month after month.

The Department of Education will make a decision about your case within 60 days after your hearing. But in the meantime, any wage garnishment that has already started will continue to be in force.

Four Options to Cure a Defaulted Student Loan

Now, in order to get your student loan(s) out of default, you have four options:

• Consolidate the loan(s)

• Enter a loan rehabilitation program;

• Pay the loan(s) off completely

• Get the loan(s) totally discharged or cancelled

The last two are probably not realistic options. I know you don’t have the money to pay off the loan(s). That’s why you’re in this predicament; and loan cancellations are rare (though they can be obtained). You’ll likely have to “rehabilitate” your loan(s) or consolidate.

Should You “Rehabilitate” Your Loans or Consolidate?

Before you can consolidate, you have to bring your loan(s) out of default status. You do this by making just three monthly payments – on time, and in any amount that you and your lender agree upon. To find out if you qualify for loan consolidation, contact the Federal Direct Consolidation Loan Info Center at 800-557-7392 or go online to http://loanconsolidation.ed.gov. If you call, the staff there should be able to tell you what your monthly payment will need to be for those three months while your loan is in repayment. The one drawback to consolidation is that your credit remains tarnished. Even though your loan will be paid off and listed as “paid in full” on your credit report, you’ll get a new loan through consolidation and that previous default still shows on your credit report for seven years.

An alternative, to fix your credit, and have all past negative information about your student loans completely deleted from your credit file is to go through loan rehabilitation.

In a nutshell with rehabilitation you make 9 or 12 on-time payments on your student loans in an amount you can afford. You make nine monthly payments on Direct Loans and Federal Family Education Loans, or 12 monthly payments on Perkins Loans. This, in my opinion, is the preferred route as it will help you restore your credit in a big way, so your past default won’t haunt you for years to come.

For more details about various alternatives to cure your student loan delinquency, check out the Department of Education’s guidebook called “Options for Financially-Challenged Borrowers in Default.”

Get Help From an Ombudsman

Additionally, you should know that if you ever have a dispute with your lender or loan servicer about anything related to your federal student loans, there is a government agency that may be of assistance in resolving that dispute. It’s called the Federal Student Aid Office of the Ombudsman. Always try to work things out first with your lender by using the online “Self Resolution Checklist” from the Ombudsman’s office. But let’s say you think your loan was mistakenly placed in default by your lender – maybe you were in school at least half-time, you had a loan deferment or forbearance, or you actually made payments on your loan – and you can’t get a satisfactory resolution of the issue, then it’s time to reach out to the Ombudsman’s office.

No matter what economic challenges you’re facing, you don’t have to live with wage garnishments and blemishes on your credit report because of defaulted student loans. Reach out for help today, and start the process of turning that college debt problem around.
