** INSPIRATIONAL MONEY AND BUSINESS QUOTE **

I'm not doing my philanthropic work, out of any kind of guilt, or any need to create good public relations. I'm doing it because I can afford to do it, and I believe in it.

- George Soros


** ARTICLE: SAVING -- YOUR PART IN FIXING THE ECONOMY - BY ROBERT SCHMANSKY **

"Anything that we can do to raise personal savings is very much in the interest of this country." -- Alan Greenspan

The FPA, along with more than 1,000 non-profit, government, and corporate groups, supports America Saves Week, this February 20-27.

There is never enough to be said about the personal reasons to save: it puts you on firm financial footing, building a safety net and foundation for you to grow from.

But, how often have you considered the national benefits that arise from your simple act of saving?

During rocky economic times, your savings safety net extends over others as well. Below are some of the ways everyone benefits when we save money:

Savings are the backbone of our capitalistic system. Barron's Dictionary of Finance and Investment Terms defines 'capital formation' as the creation of producer goods -- such as buildings, machinery, and equipment to produce other goods -- through saving, which results in economic expansion. The process of economic growth begins with the act of saving; or, as my college professor David Breuhan notes in his book Spread the Wealth: "Capital is the core of capitalism."

Savings support the small business owner and their community. When there are savings available to lend, it is the small business owner's local community that benefit the most. Not only are jobs created when businesses expand locally, but jobs are required to provide public and private services to those employees, benefiting the community even more.

The act of saving shows others positive financial habits. Much of our relationship with money is learned from family members and those around us. Promoting positive financial habits sets an example for those around you and teaches them the value of saving for the future.

Savings create the backbone of our economy, and our own financial plans. If not for savings, we would not have the ability to: take risks for growth to meet our long-term goals in other parts of our portfolio, take advantage of opportunities that require savings, and feel comfort that we are able to weather financial storms as they arise.

And so during this week, kick start a savings habit! Below are a few ideas on how to get started now:

-This year every worker is getting an extra 2% in their paychecks thanks to a payroll tax reduction. Start saving at least this unexpected amount from your paycheck automatically.

-Are you one of the many who use Uncle Sam as a no-interest savings bank, and receive a large tax refund annually? This year, instead of spending all of your money, save your tax return -- and deposit it directly to a savings account, or split your refund over several accounts by asking your preparer to file Form 8888 -- Allocation of Refund.

-Talk to your tax preparer or financial adviser about keeping more of your money this year in your regular paychecks, instead of waiting until next year to get that bloated refund check. Instruct your employer to send that money directly to a savings account.

If you need more ideas, spend some time with the Savings category here on the blog, which currently has more than 70 postings to give you the information and encouragement to implement a successful savings program. But, above all else this Savings Week, I hope you learned just a little more about the power that the simple act of saving can have for the good of us all.

** ARTICLE: 5 WAYS TO BUILD BRAND RECOGNITION ONLINE - BY TJ PHILPOTT **

Developing brand recognition online is one of the greatest marketing advantages you can attain to grow your business. With so many other online marketers promoting their goods and services it is very easy to be lost in the shuffle. The choice is either to be more dominant than your competitors or gain separation from them. It is much easier to simply develop a unique online brand because domination takes a lot more time and effort. Done successfully your unique business brand will allow you to send promotional messages that more people will hear.

With that said here are 5 very effective ways in which you can develop a unique online brand that will give you a definite advantage over your competitors.

USE IMAGERY


Using a relevant image or even a photo of yourself is simply helping to reinforce you with the identity or reputation you want to be affiliated with. An online brand needs to be recognized not only through words and deeds but visually as well. As the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words.

BUILD UPON POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES


In order for you to gain trust online you need to build a positive reputation. By placing an emphasis on those things positive about you and your business your online brand will reflect favorably with people. Since you are dealing with the general public your approach should be clean and clear so that there is little room for misinterpretations. Always try to focus on things you know people are attracted to or are looking for since this will help boost your positive image.

MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY


No matter what type of strategies you use online for marketing purposes, always remain consistent to the brand you are building. Whether you circulate content, participate in social media activities or even leave comments at forums and blogs, be consistent!

RELEVANT DOMAIN NAME


As easy as this may appear on the surface, finding the exact right domain name for your business brand will likely be difficult. There is much competition for domain names on the internet, in fact I recently read that there is a fear the internet will run out of domain names by 2012! What!

In lieu of the 'perfect' name you may be seeking you will probably need to rely upon your creativity. Come up with several different names that are relevant and applicable to your business, and then go see what is available. Happy hunting!

IDENTIFY YOURSELF


When attempting to build trust and believability on the internet it is important to let people know who you really are. Creating an identity or fictitious character is 'cute' but this is only short term and will not build the trust you need or are looking to develop. Developing brand recognition is a subtle yet key advantage that will give you an edge over other online marketers. Having a unique identity minimizes your competition therefore making it easier for you to get your marketing messages heard. In this way you are able to dominate others without putting forth as much effort. The 5 approaches reviewed above will help you develop a unique business brand and are very easy to implement. The only requirement of you to make this work is to be consistent and patient in your efforts. In the end the wait will be more than worth it.
