US Senate voted on fiscal issues:bill passed

Part 1 of the process has been completed by the Us Senate.This does not in anyway fix the issues to do with debt in America. The next step is to send the bill to the house of representatives.

Tax increases for those earning above $400,000 have been agreed but there is a long way to go.

Households have a threshold at $450,000

Inheritance tax up to 40%

Cuts have been delayed for 2 months

What the end result will be, nobody knows and much debate and discussion will continue…

The real push has to be by people and businesses to force the needs they have on those that they elected.

Will the house go against the senate….a solution by thursday is required

Will President Obama get his way or will this problem carry on?

How will the debt come down?

Why You Shouldn't Trust Positive Online Reviews—Or Negative Ones, For That Matter

Reblogged from Business & Money:

Researchers and online review sites alike are trying to root out efforts to manipulate the system. By outing dubious, planted, solicited, and otherwise inauthentic reviews, consumers will have more reason to trust the reviews that remain, the thinking goes. But judging on how prevalent the manipulation seems to be, it's arguable that online user ratings and reviews are less trustworthy than ever.

Americas Fiscal vote; Remember the people, jobs, business & The Gettysburg Address

Fiscal cliff, congress votes on a solution

The United states of America is about to vote on a package to solve the fiscal crisis hanging over the people of the US.

Taxes, money, jobs, businesses, shares, benefits,markets and  a country of over 300,000,000 million people will be affected.

Tax rises of 5% and huge spending cuts are looming. A reduction of $600 billion could be saved but with a potential reduction of 4% in GDP.

This will not be an immediate blow as cuts will be gradual  and some taxes can be reversed.

Democrats and Republican parties need to remember who elected them…the people.

The people of the USA elected you

You are responsible for the future of your voters. Jobs, communities, local businesses are all in your hands. The economy and future growth of the US  are in your hands. This is a huge responsibility that you wanted, so judge the situation very carefully and go with what your voters want.Go with what is best for your local people and let’s hope you choose wisely. Employment, job creation and the work of every person can be affected by the decisions you will make.

Businesses need your help

Companies in all types of industry will be affected by this decision but not dealing with it, will be the worst outcome for the whole of the USA. Think about your own people but always remember the knock on effect it will have on all other countries. The UK and Euro zone are interlinked with the US economy. The negative results on markets can damage others, from Russia to Japan, The African continent and even as far off as Australia. We live in a globalized world, so take care and vote with care.

Presidential power ?

President Obama has a very difficult night ahead of him and as a non-American I wish him , the elected and the people of the US a positive outcome. We need a strong America. We need people working and businesses booming. We need growth in the economy and we need families and individuals to have a future they are excited about. Every business owner, like me, wishes the best outcome to this fiscal nightmare. I hope the money is found and the finances of this crisis can be solved. If this is a short term financial solution to a longer crisis, then so be it but act now and do not delay. The  huge financial crisis will take a lot longer to fix and it will be solved through the drive and skills of the public. Help your people get on the right road and fix this mess now!

Good luck America and may this situation not damage you and US  more than what many are suffering from right now.

 

Remember this…THe GETTYSBURG ADDRESS

America might not be in a civil war but they are in a battle for the survival of the economic future of the people. Many people have suffered in this recession and  a solution needs to be found to stop the casualties . People, businesses and jobs need to be protected. The world is not only remembering but is watching the outcome of every move that is happening in congress. The work is not finished and many a fight lays ahead, so start with the best move for your people. The elected need to be dedicated to the great task ahead and show an increased devotion to the cause. You must resolve!

The government of the people, by the people, for the people…will not perish, so stand strong and fight!

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

 

We the People  of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

 

 

What happens to Americas global image if it defaults on the debt?

Reblogged from ZYNKIN NEWS:

The US debt and how defaulting will change the world

The obvious answer is...Everything will change and the USA will never have the same image again

A default would have some "pretty serious ramifications" for the US economy and, because the US is still 20 per cent of world GDP, it would be terrible for a  lot of other countries as well.

Jobs,money and business concerns in the UK

Britons suffered the biggest deterioration in their finances in seven months in December and turned more downbeat about 2013, a survey showed on Monday.

The Markit Household Finance Index fell to 36.8 – the lowest since May – from November’s near two-year high of 39.3, sinking further below the 50 level that would mark no change in the financial situation compared with a month ago.

Around a third of respondents said their finances had worsened in December, while only 6 percent reported an improvement. Overall, households also felt less secure in their jobs than in November.

With our launch we can over some help in reducing marketing costs for business, WE can offer online jobs or affiliate programs..we will  try to help.

However, some retailers are looking good..

Boxing Day sales set records online and in store

Millions of bargain hunters drove record sales this Christmas with John Lewis seeing its busiest ever hour online and Selfridges taking a record £1.5 million within 60 minutes of opening its doors.

John Lewis reported a positive increase in sales  leading up to Christmas, boosted by online sales as internet  accounts for an ever growing slice of Britain’s spend.

Sales in the week to December 22 at the country’s biggest department store group rose 26.5 percent to 157.8 million GBP. Its website broke its daily sales record with 7.8 million pounds on December 17.

The sales on boxing day broke many records but retailers are not optimistic about January or 2013.

So what happened?

Boxing Day saw the number of shoppers surge by a fifth on high streets  compared with last year, analysts said.

Consumers also turned to  tablets and mobile devices, with John Lewis reporting online traffic from tablets rising by a quarter from 28% to 35% between Xmas Eve and Christmas Day.

It’s not something you would think but..

Making money,Facebook struggles to generate income-How to make money online

IMG_0101

I have recently commented on an article about Facebook and the methods they use (or try to use) to make money from advertising online. Making money online is not easy. For many businesses the world has become smaller but the potential market is huge, if they can be noticed. Now Facebook is the most visible business in the world. The problem is that they began as a social media and in my opinion will always be regarded as a social network. How many people actually click on adverts, how many likes do you actually follow from your friends? How many “friends” are actually real and if they were gathered in the ego drive of “get as many friends because it shows you are popular” mode…will you trust the opinions and likes they have.

Facebook is now trying to slip ads in where ever they can. The problem is they need to earn large revenues to make the shareholders happy. The real question is..will the billion users accept this and even pay attention to these new advertising strategies. Making money is now the purpose of each department and it should be, as it is a business. A business has to make money, they have to generate an income and returns for investors. Mr Zuckerberg has got his billions and those that invested in him , want a large chunk of pie as well.

How do they make the income they need?

Will the top ten tips for making money online, work for them?

Will the Facebook community go along with all these new ads and methods of advertising that Facebook place everywhere they can?

Time will tell but one huge opportunity has been missed by them.

Is this idea that we have, possible to integrate? I do not know and the reason is that it will change the basic set up of how Facebook operates at present. A change that could be easily incorporated and benefit every user. The idea of friend gathering could be the stumbling block but this is what Facebook is built upon.

Many other social medias, communities and networks operate on similar plans to generate online revenue. The drive to make money and BIG dollars is in the hands of pushy shareholders…but this is why they invested and this is the right that they have.

Zynkin is due to launch in 2013 and we have developed a social network added to a business directory. We have an arena where the two can operate along side each other and never cross, if this is what a user wants.

Watch what we do with some of the failed marketing and advertising methods other companies use. For example take review sites that in some peoples minds are blackmailing the businesses by the way the system is set up….Pay more money and we remove the competition and maybe the reviews might even improve! We could talk about what is right and wrong for years. Every business has a model and we will be slapped down with ours. We want a simple idea to happen..give every business an equal chance, low cost (or free), a chance to make money, grow, recruit and create jobs for the unemployed masses…create new customers and grow online. We want a social network that the user controls, enjoys, has fun with and meets real people. We will build new communities based upon a global world. If the world os global..make it fair for all but use a model that gives customers and businesses an equality and relationship both are involved with for gain and enjoyment.

Stay connected and find out how you and businesses will make money with us in 2013.

Christmas means people,community,society and hope.

Every December something comes over me. I love this time of year as for many years I never had the time to spend it with the people I love. This year I have a brother I have not seen for many years, my mother, my wife and child…oh dog and cat as well.

For me , this is incredible and I am so lucky to have this opportunity to spend time with those that I love. I wish my other family members were her and I also even wish my wives family were here. December is a special month and it is like this magical dust get sprinkled over me.Nearly 1 year ago I decide to start this business project that is now nearing launch. I have taken on far more than I should have but the aim of what we are doing is so powerful and possible…it needs to be completed and successful. Sacrifices were needed and I once again had to completely commit to a cause. I have a business with a mission and this ties in nicely with this time of year. The ultimate aim through what ever means possible is to open a site that benefits individuals, communities and businesses around the world. I want to change the status quo and level the playing field. I want to find the right people to help me make a difference and I want change.

So, go and have a look at the start of another site of mine ..it’s about us….you, me and the rest of this planet. Add things and help me get a positive message out, not just because it’s Christmas but because we are lucky and every day have a chance to do some good for ourselves and others.

ONE WORLD…ONE PEOPLE…ONE CHANCE

Our time to take action.

Our time to make a difference.

Our time to turn our future into a future.

Our time to appreciate we are the same.

Our time to put our differences aside.

Our time to build, create and dream again.

Our time to stop worrying and start hoping.

Our time to stop fighting and start laughing.

Our time to enjoy every breath we all share.

Our time to see we are all the same and have the same wish.

Our time to bring everyone together under one roof and make a better place.

Our time is running out …

”From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.”

 ”Sharing is sometimes more demanding than giving.”

I am not religious but these words really do make sense ,especially at this time in history…

  ”Give and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over…

”Give, and it shall be given to you. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.”

”It is more blessed to give than to receive.

  ”One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want

”No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.”
– Barbara De Angelis

We are a marketing site but forget all that… this video made me think how little we have really learnt.

Sorry this is not about business but having a future means you can have a business…..so share this and lets start making a change on what we should have already done.
