A relatively new concept in the online world is “Virtual Real Estate Investing“. Everything from using the internet as an avenue to make more money in real estate to online games such as SecondLife seem to be included in the popular definition of this term.

To get the facts, I sought out the man generally considered to be the father of virtual real estate investing: Bryan Ellis of BryanEllis.com.

When I began using the term virtual real estate investing in the late 1990s, I did so because I saw clear parallels between the strategies used for profiting from physical real estate and those that would create income in the online world, said Ellis.

One example of the parallels between virtual and physical real estate Bryan Ellis cites is the similarity between the monetization of domain names versus physical property. “There’s a huge difference between a website and a piece of real estate, but the ways you can profit from them are similar: ‘flipping’, rental/leasing, advertising sales, etc…all of these apply to both markets” he states.

The similarities really are obvious. Consider this: If you own a piece of real estate in a desirable neighborhood, your real estate has value because other people are interested in that location. Similarly, ownership of a desirable domain name is valuable for the same reasons. Regardless of the type of asset, you can sell or lease or use any number of strategies to turn the assets into cash.

In our next installment of this series on virtual real estate investing, Bryan Ellis will share the internet analogies to the physical concept of real estate development.

The uniform response when quizzing people on what exactly it is that givers Peter Sutherland the winning edge is that his unique mix of great charm and directness has served him well over the years. Peter Sutherland was a key figure in negotiating the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and it has been well documented that in order to get the accord passed, it was not unusual for him to keep negotiators at the table late into the night. The deal came together after almost a decade of negotiations, and the very gavel he used throughout now sits on his desk at his office in London where he serves as chairman of the arm of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. that oversees Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

It was back in the mid nineties when he rejoined Goldman Sachs, where where previously he had a position as an adviser. The story goes that he was recruited by Eugene Fife on an international flight. Not only current but also former Goldman Sachs employees say Mr. Sutherland gave the bank a lift when it was trying to position itself in Europe.

Peter was widely recognized as being key for winning business away from some of London’s most illustrious and well established banks as well as European financial firms. He brought with him a set of invaluable contacts. Not only that but he is also known to be close to Italian Prime Minister Prodi. In more recent times he accompanied former Goldman CEO Henry Paulson on trips to Russia and China before Paulson became treasury secretary last year. Not only this, he also played an important role in forging a relationship between Goldman and Mittal Steel Co. That paid off when Mittal hired Goldman as lead banker in its $39 billion takeover of Arcelor SA last year. By all accounts Peter Sutherland has been instrumental in some keys bits of business which have had a massive impact on the development of Goldman.

When you are going to your job interview, it is critical that you look the part.

Rightly or wrongly, interview panels make their decision in the recruitment process very quickly and the rest of the process is largely there to add credibility to their initial (gut) impression.

Now, nobody is saying this is fair. But it is human nature.

Think about the last time you went to buy a high value item from a shop.

The chances are you decided yes or no, very early on in the buying process. You made that judgement emotionally. You will then spend the rest of you “research” gathering data that backs up your judgement. If you find data that supports your judgement, you stress it. If you find data that goes against your judgement, you dismiss it. Sound familiar? Be honest!

Well, when going for your interview, it is important to look the part. If anything – over dress rather than under dress.

Here are 5 tips:

1. Sort your hair out a week before – get it cut, get it styled and get it coloured if necessary. Ensure that you have a spare comb or brush in your bag when you go for your interview
2. Watch your teeth and breath. Floss your teeth and make sure they are clean. Don’t eat or drink any strongly flavoured foods or beverages in the couple of days leading up to your interview
3. Don’t wear strongly scented aftershaves or perfumes. Use a deodourant though!
4. For ladies – aim to wear clothes that cover up most of your skin. You can show your face, neck, hands, arms and below the knees. But don’t go for anything…distracting! For guys – absolutely no mini skirts.
5. Make sure your shoes are polished and clean

I remember four years ago when I didn’t even know what the term search engine optimization stood for.

It’s been a long time since that day and today I can’t imagine a world without search engine optimization or seo technologies.

It kind of makes me wonder how I got along without it before. I can tell you this however that it was the missing puzzle piece of a very large puzzle that made my life complete.

Search engine optimization has made it possible for the little guy to make a lot of money without spending millions before hand and it can help you to.

In the days before all of the automation technology came out for search engine optimization, and before all the companies came out that had elaborate networks that allowed generating link backs became so easily done, there was a time before even search engine optimization or seo was even known as a science.

We live in a world these days that is vibrant with search engine optimization technologies and we should thank our lucky stars that is around in the way that it is because we have an incredible opportunity to generate money from merely our time our thoughts and our keyboards.

Every avid independent filmmaker has dreamed about making that special interest documentary, or short film to show off their creative prowess. Many have great ideas and want to “wow” the film-festival scene, or video renters with their big project.

But once you have the film “in the can” (no easy feat), how do you move from a couple of master DVDs with the “Sharpie” marked hand-written title inside a secondhand CD case, to a pile of cardboard boxes full of shiny new, retail-ready DVDs, with UPC barcodes and polywrap sitting on your doorstep?

You need to create eye-popping artwork and have your project replicated. Using a reputable full service DVD Replication company like PacificDisc, Inc. to partner with is certainly a helpful option to ensure a professional end result, but to help with your DVD replication project, here are 4 easy steps to follow for good DVD replication results:

1. Prepare your DVD master.
To ensure the replication company can read your master, you either need to create a DVD-R master, or output your project to a DLT (Digital Linear Tape). DLT has been around for years and used to be the only way to replicate. Thankfully DVD-R technology has advanced so much over the past few years, that a pair of DVD-R masters are normally all that is required when working on a standard DVD5 project. Why a pair? Just in case one of the masters gets damaged in transit, you don’t waste time looking for another good master.

2. Create your artwork
You’ll need to design artwork for the DVD face, the outside of the case (commonly called a wrap) and, if desired an insert for the inside of the case (postcard, or booklet). All CD or DVD Replication companies will have templates on their websites that you can download and use to assist in layout of your art. Just make sure you download the correct template for your project, as there are many variables and you won’t want to waste time with the wrong layout.

While on the subject of artwork, it’s important to mention that you need to decide if your project needs a barcode (commonly called a UPC, or the black and white dashes inside a box on many products). If your DVD will be sold through retailers, you should have a UPC issued, as many retailers won’t stock an item without one.

3. Find a DVD replication partner
Although there are literally dozens of DVD replication companies out there (just type “dvd replication company” into your favorite search engine) not all DVD Replication companies are created equal. You’ll see all kinds of pricing models that will do an excellent job of confusing the heck out of you. Instead look for a partner who offers good pricing and tries to simplify the process. Make sure you are comparing the same thing when shopping around and watch out for hidden extras, like overage (where the replication company makes an extra bunch of discs and then expects you to pay for the extras). Watch out for setup fees, glass mastering fees, extra costs for offset printed discs, extra costs for 3-color vs. 5-color artwork.

A little homework up front will ensure your DVDs look great when they arrive and you aren’t left with the feeling of being cheated, or have crappy looking discs that nobody will want to buy.

4. Approve check discs and artwork proofs
Once you have found the DVD replication company, you will be asked to send in your masters, artwork and cash. Most replicators want their money upfront, as they start burning materials as soon as the project lands. Within a few days of delivering your masters, you should see either email proofs of your artwork (simple digital prints (PDFs) showing you how your art elements will line up when printed. If you ordered a hard proof, the DVD replication company will ship you a print proof printed from the actual printing press earmarked to print your job. With a hard proof, you know exactly what you’re getting before you print hundreds of them. If you request a check disc, you’ll get a small number of “silver discs” to ensure your project has come through the DVD-R (or DLT) master to “glass” master process successfully.

Assuming everything checks out, and you send back your approvals, within a couple of weeks, you should hear the beep-beep-beep of the FedEx truck backing up your driveway. After a quick signature, you should be the proud owner of a pile of cardboard boxes filled with shiny DVDs — your DVDs!

Are you in debt? Well, that is a real bummer no doubt, but one consolation to your predicament might be to know that you are not alone. In fact in the United States the average person has over $10,000 in credit card debt that will be paid off sometime in 2026 if they keep making their monthly payments. Ouch.

Did you know that the average citizen has 150% of the amount they make in a given year in short-term debt? This includes credit cards, car loans and other items bought on time. It is true, in fact if the average person if they were to lose their job they would be on the street and pushing a shopping-cart in just under 2.3 months. Their house would be in foreclosure, their credit cards max’ed out and they would be evicted.

You know even though you are not alone in this problem, you are playing with fire. You need to work hard to remove these burdens and having a garage sale or selling stuff on eBay, well that simply is not going to do it at all. All you will be doing is selling stuff that you bought at retail with your credit card, which you are still paying on and will be paying on until 2026, for pennies on the dollar.

You need to put together a strategy to get out of debt. If not you could be pushing a shopping cart down the street collecting aluminum cans, but at least there is a consolation, there are hundreds of thousands of homeless Americans doing this and you will not be alone. Think on this.
