PagePlus review

Hey ppl, I’m going to give you the 411 on this unfamiliar “prepaid” cell phone service called PagePlus. Now PagePlus has this unlimited text & talk plan for $39.95 a month, plus 20 mb of data. Which is a pretty good deal because data counts toward your picture msgs and also your internet usage.. trust me this mess goes by so slow, depending on the size of your pics in your msgs, they can range from 20kbs to 100kb+ and as for your internet usage each time you connect its 2kb.. Eh, not bad. For those of us who don’t know….1000kb is equal to 1mb. So therefore 20,000kb(kilobytes) is equal to 20mb(megabytes). Anywho, like I was saying, Pageplus has unlimited text and talk and 20 mb of data all for $39.95. Making itself the cheapest prepaid cell phone service with no hidden fees. Check it…all you need is a Verizon phone to get started. You’ll be surprised that Pageplus runs on Verizon towers, so you get full coverage and more bars anywhere as long as your within Verizon’s towers…like duhh they have coverage everywhere, meaning fewer dropped calls and more time to talk =]. Oh yeah, also less roaming and the charges that come with it. I am currently using Pageplus, and the service is great. I have been using this service for a few months now and I haven’t had any probs yet. Oh yeah you can also port your number from any carrier from your current cell phone. Seems hard? Nope. All I did was go to Bestbuy and pick up one of these Verizon intensity “prepaid” cell phones, called up pageplus told them I have a new phone I need activated and wanted to port my current #, they told me to do 3 things and that was 1.) call my current cell service, 2.) ask for my account #(make sure I had my password/pin) and 3.) to call them back… and from there the set up was as breeze. didn’t take longer than 20 mins… no bull. So if your seriously looking for a cheaper “prepaid” service than boost mobile this is it. Give it a chance, you wont be disappointed it will only benefit you, and put more money in your pocket =].

How to start a business

Running your own business is a rewarding but demanding career and life choice. There are many different opinions about how to start a business from writing and researching a detailed business plan to jumping into a passion and trying to make money out of it. Click Here!

Steps

  1. Start with an idea. This doesn't have to be a brand new invention or new product. In fact, many successful small businesses have found a way to deliver an existing service more efficiently or economically or have customized an existing product or service.
  2. Put together a business plan. This doesn't require hundreds of pages with thousands of charts. Use the plan to research things like how much you can charge for your product/service, how much it will cost to produce or deliver (include variable & fixed costs), and the size of your potential market (i.e. # of customers). The plan should evaluate your competitors - how many competitors, how strong are they, where are they, how will you compete. The plan should state what is required to enter this market, barriers to entry such as high fixed costs (factories, restaurants) and government regulations that must be met.
  3. Determine if you need financing. Your business plan will include a section on financing. How will you pay the costs to start and run your business? Do you need a bank loan? Use credit cards? Self finance? Also, you'll need to consider how much salary you need to support yourself while starting your business.
  4. Put together your initial marketing plan. Marketing need not cost a fortune. Some businesses require very little. For example, many service businesses such as accounting firms build their practices through word-of-mouth referrals. You can also join free or low-cost associations to build awareness of your small business. Again, your business plan (product, customer, competitor) will help you determine the marketing efforts you need to undertake.
  5. Build your infrastructure early. This doesn't mean build a big factory or a fancy office. It simply means keep accurate customer records, a clean set of updated books and a technology foundation, if necessary. One of the downfalls of many small businesses is that they don't know if they're making or losing money (i.e. the need for a clean set of books). Another downfall is when small business owners try to sell their company years later but lack accurate customer history and customer information. Many times, the customers of a small business are its best asset, and, without the records, the small business can be sold only for salvage.
  6. Move forward and get started. Once you know you can be profitable take the leap and get started. Besides getting business supplies or advertising, plan ahead by establishing some new business clients ahead of time. If you're business is unlike a restaurant, that physically needs to wait for customers to walk into it's doors, establish accounts ahead of time. In this way, you will have pre-planned future receivables to look forward to. Think about and focus on making money first, where ever possible, instead of spending money. The more money you can bring in, without spending money, the more profitable you are going to be.
  7. Don't neglect using the web. Use every technology available that will give your business a competitive advantage. The internet is a customers research tool. Help future customers learn more about you and the details about what you sell and why your products or services are different and better for them than other competitors.
  8. Make paying for your items or service convenient. In today's world, understand how people pay. Carrying cash can be risky. Therefore, most people choose to carry Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. All these credit cards are part of our societies everyday life when it comes to making purchases. Debit cards are especially popular. So, along with having a sales counter cash register, get set up to accept credit cards for your business. To do this, also purchase a new credit machine. These are now very affordable and available at wholesale prices for about $147. Be sure to look for a wholesale supplier, not a retail seller such as a bank. Banks usually charge higher prices. The same credit machine supplier will more than likely be able to offer you credit machine service too. This monthly cost is about $10. By doing this you'll be able to get equipment for less then the price of most cell phones. More importantly, you can offer your customers an easy way to accept credit cards. The goal is to help customers self-finance their purchases when they don't or can't use cash.

Tips

  • Use free resources. Your local library contains numerous useful references regarding incorporation, writing business plans, marketing, as well as information specific to your industry. The Small Business Association, Chambers of Commerce, AMEX Small Business website, associations for your industry, associations by ethnicity...all of these offer training, materials, networking and sometimes financing.
  • Recognize that getting your business off the ground will take time. Most businesses don't become profitable right away, so plan for that in your personal life too. You will be making sacrifices to be your own boss.
  • Make paying convenient and affordable. Offer credit machine service, monthly payment plans, buy one get one offers and offer sale prices.

Warnings

  • Running your own business is extremely time-consuming. You can rarely leave work "at work" because you're the boss now.
  • Be sure to carve out time for yourself. Make sure you stick with an exercise program or build in time to see your family. As mentioned in Warning #1 above, running your own business can consume you if you let it.
