Have you done your homework?

BENCHMARK EMAIL
I decided to get started on my 2012 New Year's Resolution early. I knew that it was long overdue and time to start an email marketing program. After comparing three different email marketing companies, I have found that Benchmark Email gives you more features for less money, it's user-friendly and has great customer support.
Most people don't have time to research and compare and just choose what the majority is using.
I make it my business to take the time to do my homework and compare these companies so that I can save myself and my clients money and time.  
The main deciding factor was that the Survey and Polls feature
was included in the monthly cost. The competing company that most of my newsletters come from, Constant Contact, charges extra for this feature and more per month for the newsletter. See the comparison chart of the three top companies and decide for yourself.

Do you do business with strangers?

What is the first thing you do when someone hands you a business card? If you are like most people you look for the website address and then go to their site to learn more about the person and their company.
Today it is so important to have a web presence. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. A simple two to three page website with a bio page and a services & products page is all that you need.

You can have a professional looking website for the cost of your domain name only with no monthly charges.

Did You Know That You Can Deposit Checks Using Your Mobile Phone?

I was just about to get into my car and drive to my bank to deposit some checks that I'd been holding for two days when my friend called. When I said that  I was on my way to deposit some checks she reminded me that I had a Chase Bank app with a check deposit feature.
I told her about this feature when I first opened my account. At that time I tried using the digital deposit service but I kept getting an error message saying that the bank was having trouble recognizing my check photo and I was not able to complete the transaction. I didn't try using the service again until yesterday when my friend said her client was raving about Chase Bank, my bank, because he could now deposit checks from his mobile phone.

Well, I thought, if her client could do it then I could too. I decided to try depositing the checks from my phone one more time and it worked!!!  I had just saved 45 minutes of my day and I was able to complete a job I was working on earlier than expected.   After doing some research I found that PNC Bank has mobile deposit as well.


If you don't have a smartphone with apps you can also bank from home using Echeck deposit if you have an Ally Bank account.  All you need is a computer that is connected to the Internet and a scanner.
