Car Insurance Prices

I am not now nor have I been a fan of GEICO since we parted ways in 1996, however, I do believe in giving credit where credit is due.

With the help of the American Moving and Storage Association, GEICO has create a brochure for its site entitled "Teens & Trucks". This addition to GEICO's library of safe driving materials for teen drivers is an attempt to keep teens informed on safe practices as well as keep car insurance prices at a reasonable rate. This information is geared towards teens that are now learning to drive. It includes tips like:

• Stay out of a truck's blind spots or "No Zones"
• Be careful when attempting to pass a truck.
• Do not swerve in front of a truck or cause the driver to come to a sudden stop

Make Money...

Doesn't everyone want to ... Make Money ... that is. I know I surely do.

I was downsized in June of this year and since I've had more time on my hands than I normally would, I managed to finish up and publish my first blook (book based on a blog ... yay me!) However, what that did was whet my appetite for becoming a part of the whole "starving artist"/"freelancer" world that exists out there in the big wide web.

In a cursory search through one of those blog for money adsense communities, I came across a blogpost entitled "4 Ways to Make Money Blogging". I almost passed it by without reading cause my Adsense account from January 2006 to November 2006 has a whopping total of $1.67. Now with six blogs and pretty decent traffic and writing skills, if I may be so immodest, I figured some of my posts would have engendered a click or two.

Anyway ... that aside, I noticed that the ad had links to four Web sites and the first was Blogitive.com. I clicked on the link and read information that started like this:

"There are many ways to make money online. Some are very difficult such as starting an online business, some are somewhat difficult such as utilizing and marketing affiliate programs and some are just easy such as joining a site that just pays you to click through their website. You may be thinking “I will just do the easy way to make money online, I don’t know much about starting a business or marketing online”.

Still skeptical, I read to the end and submitted one of my blogs for approval. Boy am I glad that I didn't let my cynicism prevent me from the earning possibilities provided by Blogitive.

A month later I am happy to say that Blogitive.com lives up to its billing. Once your blog is approved you simply have to write about the company, services or products contained within the web release provided, use the link provided, link it to the specified key words, make sure the post is at least 100 words, make sure you have two regular posts in between Blogitive Ad posts, make sure your feed is submitted to feedburner.com and of course, in order to get paid, submit the Url of the post to Blogitive and receive payment once a week.

Not too shabby hmmmm?

A Word About Choosing the Perfect Engagement Ring

When you’re about to purchase a diamond engagement ring for the woman of your dreams, I’m sure that the last thing on your mind is: does it suit her personal style? You've probably perused magazines and a Web site or two in order to find the best tips on "spotting the flaw in your diamond" or "are all karats equal?"

However, according to Primestyle.com, a reputable jeweler located in the diamond district in Manhattan, “Jewelry requires thought. It should fit her looks, personality and lifestyle. Personal style should be reflected in jewelry.”

So when you go to a jeweler and the sales rep asks questions like, “What does she do? or What’s her lifestyle?” He/she is not trying to get into your soon-to-be fiancée’s business; they’re trying to assist you in selecting the perfect ring … for her.

Capella University

Capella University, an accredited online college, has become known as a national leader in colleges for optaining online degrees.

Since its inception in 1993, Capella University has grown to the tune of currently serving 16,000 students in all 50 states of the U.S. and 63 other countries as well.

They offer graduate and undergraduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology as well as, business and information technology, respectively.

Online Ingenuity

A CA-based company by the name of Epocrates has utilized a little online ingenuity that will most likely save lives, make healthcare workers' lives easier and ensure that they have more time to focus on their patients.

What do I mean? Well ... according to healthcare professionals, before the inception of Epocrates online, if they had to look up the dosing, pricing or possible interactions of a drug like Prevacid, it would take them at least 30 more minutes than it does now. When you multiply that by just four patients that's two hours lost per day or more.

One can't help but think that it's that cutting edge kind of vision that has helped Epocrates earn a vote of 257/500 fastest growing private companies today.

Spread the Word: Safer Prescriptions

Hi Folks,

Excuse me while I interrupt our regular programming to call your attention to Epocrates a CA-based, privately owned, recently voted 257/500 fastest growing businesses. They have recently added an online reference/directory to their reportoire.

However, this is not your average online reference site. This reference sit, does a lot to make it easier for healthcare professionals to operate in a highly efficient manner with results that would make patients feel a lot more comfortable fulfilling their prescriptions ... if they knew about it.

That's where you come in. The next time you're about to fulfill your prescription, whether it be Zyrtec, Plavix or Protonix, ask your doctor and pharmacist if they've heard of Epocrates' Online reference.

When they ask why?

How about the fact that the Web site contains complete records for Dosing guidelines, the possibility of drug interactions or the price of over 3,300 drugs. And not only that, but the use of this Web site would place the focus back where it belongs: on the patients rather than having to reference multiple websites or search through medical texts for information that is now available at the click of the mouse.

Or

Because the company has made it their business to amass a clinical network connecting nearly 500,000 healthcare professionals, including one in four U.S. physicians and one in two U.S. medical students, with other healthcare stakeholders. And not only that reports are coming in that their products are positively impacting patient safety

Finally

In the words of Kirk Loevner, E. Epocrates chairman and chief executive officer, “The new online offering will help us grow our network beyond the healthcare professionals that currently use our PDA-based applications.”

Are You There Yet?

Are you there yet? No? How about a little assistance. Confused? Sorry, started writing mid-thought.

I just wanted to know if you're where you thought you'd be in life at 30, 40, 50? As a rabid fan of the "knowledge is power" school of thought. I'm happy about any avenue that promotes or makes it easier for adults to become more marketable.

That's why I'd like to take a moment to suggest online learning as an alternative to the traditional schooling method. Let's be frank. Undergraduate degrees don't hold the weight they used to anymore and if you want to get anywhere in the business world getting that mba degree is not just a desire anymore ... but a necessity.

Take a school like Capella University based in Chicago, IL which services 16,000 students in all 50 states plus 63 other countries from the comfort of their own homes or anywhere they have access to the internet.

Since its inception in 1993 Capella University has managed to become known as a national leader in online education.

The next time you lament about how or why you're not there yet ... consider online learning as an avenue to take you there.
