Accepting Credit Card Payments Increases Sales

Very few people that I know would carry big cash in their wallets nowadays. My husband and I always use credit card to pay for purchases either online or in-store. I know a lot of people are not so comfortable in using their credit cards online for fear of getting their credit card information stolen. I cannot blame them! That is why business owners should make sure they pick the right payment processor that ensures security among paying customers, otherwise they would end up losing them.

Businesses - big or small, that accept credit or debit card payments have an edge over those that don't accept these methods of payments. If you have an existing business or planning to start one, Aplus Merchant Services can help you out get started in accepting card payments from your customers. It has helped thousands of merchants all over the world sell their products or services easily by using secured card payment processor. Let Aplus Merchant Services handle your needs in this matter. Selling has never been so easy for business that accepts credit or debit card payments such as Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express cards, among the popular ones. Just make sure, you start it the right way! Contact Aplus Merchant Services now!

Be Wise, Use Wize!

Since I got here in the USA in 2004, I could not remember how many times we have bought a vacuum cleaner. Most of those cheap ones that we bought did not last long. We have a heavy duty one that we use once in a while but what I was looking for was a canister vacuum, which I could use daily to pick up hair - my hair and dog hair - all over the carpet. I hate pushing a heavy vacuum and I think a good quality canister vacuum is perfect for me. I just couldn't figure out which brand is the best in terms of quality and of course price.

Thanks God I found wize.com where I could find the canister vacuum that I have been looking for. This site has all kinds of reviews of different products made by people who actually tried the products. At least here, people like me woud be saved from buying crap. At wize.com, I am more confident with the quality of the vacuum that I would be getting. If you are looking for any product and you want to know which ones are the best and which stores have the best price, stop looking somewhere else. Be a wise buyer! Check it out with wize.com and you will never go wrong!

A gutsy pinoy joined American Idol!

I forgot to tune in to American Idol last night, but i saw the last contestant and the first time i saw him, i knew he was a pinoy 100%. He was entertaining though and we should give him credit for his guts! I guess he was in the wrong place, definitely not an American Idol material. If you haven't seen it, brace yourself, LOL! Would you be proud of this pinoy at AI?

Use Your Websites To Earn Money From Pay Per Play!

Among the great things I have learned from the internet are the many opportunities of making money while online. I have been into a lot of making money stuff that any stay-at-home parents, students and just anybody who has access to the internet can easily do. One great way to earn is using your websites to earn revenue from your site visitors.

Get The Best Shopping Cart From Ashop Commerce

I was chatting with a friend last night and we were talking about business. She wants to start her own business - selling Asian stuff online. Her concern was her lack of knowledge on promoting it online. I told her that maybe it is better if she hires a professional that could help her out in building her website and in internet marketing. But one thing I suggested was to check on the kind of shopping cart that she will use because it has a lot to do with gaining customers. Ashop Commerce has that kind of quality ecommerce software that is highly recommended by those who have already benefited by it. This shopping cart software is so easy to use, no installation needed and in a very affordable price. It has provided a total solution for storeowners to successfully sell online. You can even try the software free for 10 days. Why not give it a try?

Female logic

My friend Ella forwarded to me this email about a female logic which i wanna share with you. I always hear that women are smarter than men, is that true? I am not trying to start a debate here but i think men and women handle things or situations differently. Here is a situation that shows clearly about a woman's logic. Let me know what you think about it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?" The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.

"Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked The seamstress replied, "No." The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.

"Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, "No." The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.

"Is this your thimble ?" the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, "Yes." The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy. Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out , the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why are you crying?" "Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!" The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney.

"Is this your husband?" the Lord asked. "Yes," cried the seamstress. The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!" The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.

Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney. And so the Lord let her keep him. The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

For many years, my friend and her husband always make it a point to visit Las Vegas at least once a year just to play in the casinos until two years ago.

Just by signing up with the site, you will get an amazing 320% welcome bonus, which you can use to play more, therefore, increasing you chances of winning.

When Fundraising Is A Lot Of Fun!

I used to get these tickets from my co-workers who were trying to help their churches, organizations or kids in school raise funds for a cause and I know it is sometimes so uncomfortable for them to ask and for receivers like me to say NO. Personally, I hate doing this kind of fundraising activity so whenever my kids would ask me to help them sell their tickets, I rather buy them myself and would sometimes ask my immediate family members to help me out. I never ask my co-workers because I know how it feels to ask help, it is like having a lifetime debt of gratitude.

Nowadays, there is a fun way of fundraising at Shoutback through their auction system. You can create your own group or join groups of your interest at Shoutback. Simply visit Shoutback and enter a group category in your location, if you cannot find a group that interests you, you can start your own group. You can shop, sell and save, thus raising money for your individual needs such as sending a kid to a field trip or simply for a kid's education, among other things. I have actually shared Shoutback with my friend who is very active in fundraising activities for her church and she is planning to start a group since she couldn't find a group in Buffalo, NY. With Shoutback, goodbye to selling candies and cookies, visiting houses, selling stuff outside Wal-Mart or Target under the cold weather. With the idea of helping or supporting each other in your group or community, fundraising is sure a lot of fun at Shoutback!

What's up?

It is Saturday once again and I thought of updating this blog. Sorry for those who visited and saw nothing new here. I just feel so tired when i get home from a day's tough work. It's not like i am working in the field or doing construction jobs, I don't know but probably having rested from working for 3 years. Getting up so early and going out in this cold weather is really hard for me. I hope I get used to this or better yet, find an easier job. Well, people just don't get satisfied, you know. When i wasn't working, i was praying i could find a job and now that i am working, it's an endless litany from me everyday and i guess husband is already tired of listening to my whining. My favorite line everyday is: "I hate this job! I hate working! I am so tired!" Well, who does enjoy working, anyway? Thanks for listening to my vent. Now, let's cheer up and have a fun Saturday everyone!

I guess i am just lucky to have been picked as PPP's Blog of the Day on the first day of the year 2008! Thanks to Recel who first informed me about it, i would not have known it if not for her because i seldom check with PPP nowadays since I am not getting any opps there anyway. I am still thankful, though for being the blog of the day as it drove at least 5 new visitors/bloggers to my blog, lol! That at least is something i should be thankful of! To all who greeted me, thank you soo much! It meant a lot to me. I hope you too had a good start of the year 2008!
