By Caressa Waechter

One of the most basic forms of communication used today is the telephone. Phones are used daily by just about everyone you meet, since we all have phones. The phone plays a vital part of your life, whether it is in business or your personal life.

Your telephone serves as a primary form of customer communication when you own a small business. You need a phone service that works towards your goal of growing your business, not one that fights you along the way.

A great way to increase the effectiveness of your current phone service is to use a virtual PBX service. If you are looking to get more from your telephone service, then a virtual PBX is an inexpensive way to do this.

A virtual office PBX telephone system provides you a telephone system that rivals that of a Fortune 500 company, yet will cost you a whole lot less than you would expect.

A virtual PBX service comes with one or more local or toll-free phone number, from which you receive incoming calls via a virtual auto attendant, or virtual secretary. The calls are then routed to the appropriate employees or departments, regardless of their location. A virtual PBX service also utilizes totally customizable voicemail and Internet faxing abilities, which gives you one very powerful phone service.

Being very affordable, with prices starting at under $10 each month, a virtual office phone gives your business an advantage over your competition by making your business perform like a much larger business. And with the ability to transfer inbound phone calls to any functioning telephone, no matter where it is located, a virtual phone service gives your existing telephone service much greater adaptability than it currently posses.

With a virtual PBX phone service, you will have the ability to make customer calls follow you as you travel. You could be vacationing in Tahiti, or traveling to Boston, and your customers could still get a hold of you. When using a virtual PBX, this is just one of the powerful features available to you.

Home Business - Paid Surveys

By Hailey Gates

"How much can you actually get paid taking surveys?" This is the question most people ask when they find out about the survey taking business. It all depends on how determined you are, just like any other job!

If you expect to get rich quick being paid taking surveys, you need to revise your expectations. There are people out there making a nice income off of paid surveys, but they have learned the tricks of the trade. If you are serious, you will do well - once you have paid your dues!

When looking for surveys to take, you may notice some will inform you that you don't 'qualify'. That is because some surveys target a particular demographic, and you might be not fit the age range, ethnic group or gender the research company is investigating. Other times, they may need a set number of participants from a variety of demographics, but all the spots in the one you match have been filled already.

Serious survey takers will be extremely organized and have a well thought out plan for staying that way. They will have set up an email account specifically for their survey notifications, and have a list prepared of sites they plan to register for. They will also keep track of surveys they have completed to be sure they are credited properly!

Normally survey sites will start you off slowly, sending you one or two surveys per week. They will ask you to fill out profiles so they can start pre-qualifying you for the narrow demographic surveys. Fill out as many as you can to qualify for more surveys to take.

The amount you get paid taking surveys will start off at anywhere from $1 - $5 per survey. You may receive bonuses for filling out profiles, which can be added to subsequent survey payments. After a while you will start seeing the dollar amount per survey begin to rise.

For the longer, more important surveys, you can make $20, $25 or even more. The amount goes up from there if you are willing to get paid taking surveys over the phone or in person. Once you have a reputation for being a professional survey taker, you will get offers for even more surveys to take.

Taking surveys is definitely a legitimate, real way to earn money, but it's not a get rich quick scheme. However, with a strong will to succeed, you can make some decent cash and the opportunities will continue to increase. The best part is, you can do it amidst all the comforts of home! - 15790

Renewable Energy : Will the UK's Windfarm Hype Become Reality?

By Tal Potishman

The United Kingdom's government pledged to lower the UK's carbon emissions by eighty percent by 2020 compared to 1990 levels. Recently, however, UK public has begun to wonder if the government is as dedicated to the cause as they claim to be.

A recent article published by wallstreetpit.com claims that BP, a large British energy company, has announced that it will be refocusing its wind power projects in the United States while shutting down the wind power projects in Turkey, India, China and here in the UK. The article also claims that the UK will use wind power for thirty percent of the country's electricity supply. One has to wonder why BP is pulling out of the UK if the government is truly dedicated to exploring the options offered by wind power and other green technologies.

According to an article by the Guardian, Great Britain is one of the best locations in the world to be home to wind technology development. The popularity of Great Britain is owed mostly to the long coastline and good wind conditions that the country is famous for.

This same article names a new partnership between two major wind technology companies, Iberdola Renewables and Vattenfall, which will be building a new wind farm in the UK. This wind farm will cost 780m pounds to build and have an expected output of 300MW. Is it the pulling out of BP that allows for this new joint venture to be built? Why is wind technology being left up to private enterprise if the government is supposed to be fully behind it?

Still more criticism accompanies the complicated planning rules and the amount of money that it will take to construct all of the wind farms that the UK will need to build if the government truly wants to dedicate a third of its energy consumption to energy produced by wind farms. An independent entity, The Carbon Trust, has estimated that in order to speed up the process to move to renewable energy, about sixteen billion pounds will need to be cut from the originally proposed budget. An article by redgreenandblue.org points out that by the 2020 target originally quoted by the UK government, only a quarter of the offshore wind farms Britain needs will have actually been built.

UK residents understand that the future of energy production lies with renewable energy and not the existing power grid. Renewable energy is more cost effective and is better for the environment than the current system. Still, with so many roadblocks in the way, each one of us should be wondering just how serious the UK government's commitment to renewable energy is. If it is truly committed why is the project slowing down and losing money? What is getting in the way of the 2020 goal? - 15790

Equity Line of Credit:Is this the Answer to Your Financial Needs?

By Doc Schmyz

We all know by now that home owners have a hidden savings account...its called HOME EQUITY.

Home equity is the value of your home minus the remaining mortgage balance which is outstanding. While you live,and sleep in your home worrying about debts or wishing you could refurnish the living room you may be sitting on the cash that will grant your wishes.

Would You Want an Equity Line of Credit?

With a normal loan, which deposits a set amount of money in your account and begins charging you interest and payments at a fixed rate until repaid, a line of credit acts sort of like a credit card account. You do not need to pay interest on the full amount you have access to -- only on the amount you have used. (And in some cases you then have access to the account again.)

Using an equity line of credit (also known as a HELOC) gives you greater flexibility with the least cost. Not only can you access the credit only as you need it,your monthly payments will reflect only the balanced used. Some lines of credit have only the interest as the minimum payment which can be helpful when finances are tight.

A HELOC is a great his if you don't want to spend a large amount in one place..as well as if you want access to that credit agian, once it has been repaid, without asking for another loan.

What Can I Use the Equity Line of Credit For?

While you can no doubt find numerous uses for your line of credit, here are samples of the more common reasons for obtaining an equity line of credit.

Consolidate Debts

Using your equity line of credit to consolidate other debts can not only eliminate the stress of multiple bills but can also give you a more favorable interest rate or tax benefit.

Second Mortgage

Use your line of credit to pay off the existing mortgage for better interest rates.

Travel, remodel, or Addon

Go on a vacation, re-do a room, or buy a car...all with a interest rate that is far lower then most credit cards. This fact alone makes it ideal for large cost purchases.

Ok...so whats the Down Side?

Now it isn't just 'easy money'. It does have risk to it.

Some types of debt wont allow you to use a HELOC on them. Some student loans...or small business loans.

Other items like cars and vacations may seem like a good idea to buy with your home equity line of credit, but with the ability to pay only the interest you may find the motivation to pay off the debt is lacking and end up owing for items that have lost their value or were consumable. Plan to pay off the debt quickly for the most advantage.

A Second mortgage (or refinancing) may or may not be a good idea depending on interest rates and your repayment terms. While lines of credit take advantage of current low interest rates you may find that your regular loans protect you better from fluctuating rates if you will not be paying the loan down in the next few years.

We all understand the freedom and relief that comes from having access to extra funds. For both those emergencies, as well as last minute purchases. However its important to understand the risks as well as benefits. - 15790
