Raise Capital Fast: Structures That Can Make It Happen Fast!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Regulation D, Under Sections 4(2) and 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, the SEC adopted Regulation D to coordinate the various limited offering exemptions and to streamline the existing requirements applicable to private offers and sales of securities. The Regulation establishes three exemptions from registration in Rules 504, 505, and 506.

Rule 504, which provides an exemption for non-reporting companies unless they are “blank check” issuers or certain “shells”, stipulates that: The sale of up to $1,000,000 of securities in a 12-month period is permitted provided that there is no general solicitation, the securities sold are restricted securities and cannot be resold except pursuant to a registration statement or exemption, and a notice must be filed with the SEC within 15 days after the first sale. Rule 504 does not provide an exemption under any state laws. In certain limited circumstances where an offering is conducted under state accredited investor exemptions, securities offered under Rule 504 may be freely transferrable. Unlike Rules 505 and 506, Rule 504 does not mandate that specified disclosure be provided to purchasers. Nonetheless, the business person should take care that sufficient information is provided to meet the full disclosure obligations which exist under the antifraud provisions of the securities laws.

Rule 505 was adopted by the SEC to provide small businesses more flexibility in raising capital than under Rule 504 - but without the uncertainty of determining the quality of the purchasers that generally is involved in using Rule 506. Rule 505 provides issuers a limited offering exemption for sales of securities totaling up to $5 million in any 12-month period.

Rule 505 contains certain restrictions regarding “accredited investors” and non-accredited persons. The-term “accredited investor” includes:

Banks, insurance companies, registered investment companies, business development companies, or small business investment companies; Certain employee benefit plans for which investment decisions are made by a bank, insurance company, or registered investment adviser; Any employee benefit plan (Within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act) with total assets in excess of $5 million; Charitable organizations, corporations or partnerships with assets in excess of $5 million; Directors, executive officers, and general partners of the issuer; Any entity in which all the equity owners are accredited investors; Natural persons with a net worth of at least $1 million; Any natural person with an income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse in excess of $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year; and Trusts with assets of at least $5 million, not formed to acquire the securities offered, and whose purchases are directed by a sophisticated person.

If the issuer sells any securities to non-accredited investors, it must furnish to all investors the same type of information as required by Regulation A. It must also furnish audited financial statements.

If an issuer other than a limited partnership cannot obtain audited financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense, only the issuer’s balance sheet (to be dated within 120 days of the start of the offering) must be audited.

Limited partnerships unable to obtain required financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense may furnish financial statements prepared on the basis of federal income tax requirements and examined and reported on by an independent public or certified accountant in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; and The issuer must also be available to answer questions by prospective purchasers about the issuer or the offering.

Further restrictions under Rule 505 include:

The total offering price of each issue of securities may not exceed $5 million. The offering may not be made by means of general solicitation or general advertising. The issuer may sell the securities to an unlimited number of “accredited investors” and to 35 non-accredited persons. There are no requirements of “sophistication” or “wealth” for persons to whom the securities are sold. A company must take any necessary steps to ensure that the purchasers are acquiring securities for investment only, not for resale. The securities are thus “restricted” and investors must be informed that they may not be able to sell except pursuant to a registration statement or exemption from registration. The issuer is not required to file any offering materials with the Commission. Fifteen days after the first sale in the offering, the issuer must file a notice of sales on Form D. The notice also contains an undertaking under this Rule for the issuer to furnish the Commission, upon its staff s request, any information given to non-accredited purchasers in connection with the offering. Rule 505 does not provide an exemption from state securities laws.

SEC Rule 506 offers and sales of securities by an issuer that satisfy the conditions stated below are deemed transactions not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. For an offering to be considered exempt from the registration requirements, Rule 506 stipulates: There is no ceiling on the amount of money which may be raised. No general solicitation or general advertising is permitted. The issuer may sell its securities to an unlimited number of accredited investors and 35 non accredited purchasers. Unlike Rule 505, all non-accredited purchasers (either alone or with a purchaser representative) must be sophisticated - that is, have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to render them capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. The term “accredited investor” is defined under Rule 505.

If the issuer sells any securities to non-accredited investors, it must furnish to all investors the same type of information as required by Regulation A. It must also furnish the same financial information as would be required by registration on Form S-1.

If the issuer cannot obtain audited financial statements without unreasonable effort or expense, then financial statements may be provided in accordance with the special treatment described under Rule 505.

The securities sold are “restricted” under the same stipulations in Rule 505.

A company is required to file a notice of the offering on Form D at SEC headquarters within 15 days after the first sale in the offering. All states except New York provide an exemption from state securities laws for offerings under Rule 506 but the company must file a copy of the Form D and pay a filing fee in each state. New York has a distinctive law which makes a Rule 506 offering within that state impractical.

Accredited Investor Exemption

The Small Business Investment Incentive Act of 1980 created a new statutory exemption from registration under the Securities Act for transactions involving offers and sales of securities by any issuer solely to one or more “accredited investors.” Under Section 4(6):

The total offering price of each issue of securities under the exemption may not exceed the limit on small offerings set by Section 3(b) the Securities Act, which currently is $5 million per issue. The offering may not be made by means of any form of advertising or public solicitation.

The term “accredited investor” is defined to include the same individuals and entities as included for purposes of Rules 505 and 506. The issuer is required to file a notice of sales on Form D with the Commission 15 days after the initial sale is made in reliance on the exemption.

What Causes Acne Scars And How To Get Rid Of Them

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Acne is a nagging problem particularly for women, with its sudden appearance and the lasting scars that it causes. Howsoever you abhor it, acne is a part of most teenagers’ lives and a fair amount of effort should be put in fighting these ugly little things and preventing their recurrence.

When the sebum discharged by skin glands reacts with bacteria, it results in an infection, which is known as acne. When this infection is being healed, a protein called collagen is produced under the skin. On the level of collagen going below normal, small depressions are created on the skin and on its level being too high, visible protrusions appear. Both these situations result in acne scars. Adolescents usually suffer a lot more than others because the levels of hormones increase at a high rate at the time of puberty leading to increased secretion of sebum.

Some of the common reasons behind an acne infection are application of beauty products that are not suitable for the skin type, intake of contraceptive pills and medicines, and other genetic factors. A number of other reasons such as anxiety, unhealthy eating habits, and even pollution can result in acne. However, there is no scientific evidence behind the widespread myth that acne is caused by consumption of oily food.

Although a variety of creams and herbal skin care products are sold in the market to cure acne, it is better to take medical help if the problem aggravates or continues recurring. Avoiding squeezing the acne or poking it with any sharp object is a must to prevent aggravation of acne.

A lot of people have now started looking for medical treatments for making acne scars disappear and to obtain a spotless skin again. Surgical procedures and laser treatment are among the most successful ways of permanently getting rid of acne scars, but a lot of other innovative cures are also available these days. You must take suggestions from a reputed skin specialist who would be able to assess your skin type and recommend a proper remedy accordingly.

Investor Mind Control: Is It For Real?

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Discovering the ‘thumbscrews’ of investors is crucial to getting them to take action. In over a decade of dealing with global investors there are several elements that I’ve discovered to be universal truths about the mind of the private investor (angel investor, accredited investor).

When talking to an investor for the first time, it’s more important to listen than to speak. It’s more important to ask questions than answer them. It’s more important to discover their needs and wants than to exclaim your own. Your first conversation with an investor should be all about piercing the armor and finding the trigger points that prompt a reaction that gets to the center of their ‘childlike’ state.

What I mean by this is, investors, just like anyone else, has insecurities that are rooted in their childhood and what they are outwardly today, is typically a polar opposite of what they are on the inside. For example, an arrogant, chest beater seems proud and obnoxious on the outside but the reality is that they are over compensating for an insecurity that is rooted in an individual or collection of childhood incidents.

Maybe they were made fun of as a child, maybe they’re father was verbally abusive, maybe their teachers would single them out in class opening them up to playground mockery. When talking to these individuals it’s important to listen to their voice and intonation when the conversation topic changes. Take notes on their psychological adjustments to the conversation. After you feel you have discovered the triggers that induce the ‘pleasurable’ responses, end the call, and set your second phone appointment with them.

On that second call, you want to have your conversation ready to go using the triggers you found in the first conversation. Play off of those insecurities that you found, become their best friend without being chummy but it is your mission on this call to be the “guy that understand me” to the investor. You want the overall tone of this conversation to have the response from your target along the theme of, “wow, this guy gets me” , “I can see investing in this company”.

By using this method and not coming across as ‘fake’, you have become an investment opportunity and a shrink all rolled into one. You want to be the one person that this investor can lower his guard to because everything he says, you seem to be the one person who understands him at his deepest level. You seem to naturally be tuned into his insecurities, emotions, needs and wants. Sound strange? Try this out on the next investor you talk to, I guaranty you will be shocked with the results.

A Quick One Week Marketing Review

Friday, December 11th, 2009

When I do a review, I’m never excited when I see a long sales letter. For me a long sales letter is like major surgery without anesthetic, I can do without both. So, instead of scampering out of the site as soon as I landed on the sales letter, I started reading it and was pleasantly surprised! This, and playing with the program, made my One Week Marketing review a lot easier and surprisingly informative.

Most sales letters make you feel like they are pushing a product. I rarely get the feeling that any thought has gone into the letter. The information the Potpiegirl provides is informative and is not repetitive. She connects with the reader form the opening paragraph and provides information on how to create a passive income in an easy to follow lay out.

One of the most beneficial things found when reviewing the program was the extra tools and guides that are included with the program. This system has been designed for people that are busy and don’t have a lot of money to invest in setting up an income stream.

The greatest thing about the whole system is that PPG has written it for people who have busy lifestyles and don’t have a lot of money to spend. The program is set up to be completed within one week, hence the One Week Marketing title, and has steps to take each day that are easy to follow and complete. A person can spend a few hours completing the tasks or take all day doing them. PPG has written the program so that you can move at your own speed to complete the tasks.

There are a bunch of tools and information included in the program that are really helpful. She has even added guides for people who are visual learners. The steps and guides are written in easy to understand language and you don’t have to learn any HTML or other programming language to start making money right away.

For this reviewer, the most impressive thing about the One Week Marketing Program is that it is written by a real person. Reading her materials you get the feeling that this is a real person who has really made all of the mistakes that you want to avoid. The steps and guidelines that you get are totally doable and easy to follow. I didn’t feel like PPG was trying to sell me something, but rather that she was sharing information with me. She has managed to compile all of the information that you need to create a serious passive income without spending a lot of money and time doing it.

This One Week Marketing Review focused on the sales letter and the product that was offered. Since I’m not a proponent of lengthy sales letters, I have to say that this is one of the few letters on the Internet that does not come off as a sale pitch for a bad product. The fact that PPG talks in a language that is very warm and familiar makes her the One Week Marketing system something that a person should seriously consider if they want to create an income stream that will be sustainable.

I have a personal experience using this program as I gave it to my wife last summer while she was pregnant and at the same time lost her job due to the depression. I will admit that she has done very little work as she has been quite busy with the newborn but still she has managed to put in some hours and the results have been amazing. November was the biggest month for her so far as she made $1.139. It’s not all pure profit as she did buy some domains, articles and service. The profit was just about $1.000. It’s not a full salary but it has shown us that she will most likely not have to go back to work!

To find out exactly what is included in the program and how it works you should read my detailed One week Marketing Review that can be found on my website, TheClickbankNewbie.com

A Great Way To Start Your Online Moneymaking Journey

Friday, August 21st, 2009

The question has come into everyone’s mind at one point or another.” How do I make money fast?” Luckily for everyone who has ever had that question come to mind there is an answer! There are several ways to make money quickly online, now we will venture through the online category.

Below are 3 ways for online moneymaking

1. Doing content writing (with Associated Content)

Let’s begin with associated content. Associated content should be a perfect pair for those people who always find a way, to make money fast. Associated Content requires you to write content, which in other words for those who aren’t familiar with the online language, content means articles. Associated Content requires that you write articles for them, they will pay you anywhere from $3 to $40 for your content.

However, you might not always be able to bid as high as you prefer to, and might be forced to bid competitively. Even then, it is a good way to get started. Even if you have to provide an article for less than $10, if you can manage four or five articles a day, the money can be considered a good part time income.

2. Doing product surveys

The next site that we will talk about is Cash Crate. Cash Crate is a site that pays you to take surveys. They may pay anywhere from a dollar to possibly a hundred dollars, just for you to take a survey. Cash Crate home page has even got a daily survey option that is not time consuming at all. It pays 80 cents for this daily survey. Eighty cents is definitely not much money, but the way droplets collect to form a glass full of water, it can pile up to something over a period of time.

Product Survey is a great way for those companies to gather opinions of consumers from all strata of the society. This is crucial to the product developers and marketers because they need this customer feedback to modify their products and services in order to improve their business.

3. Making forum postings

And it is not the end of the road for those who think that they do not have the talent for content writing, or is not enough of a consumer to do product surveys. They can opt for another savior called the Forum Booster. This is an avenue that lets people make forum postings. They will be paid 10 cents for making a post. This is not much money, but nothing prevents a person from making a hundred posts a day and earning ten dollars. People post their ideas at forums anyway, and so it is better to earn by it rather than do it free.

All said and done, the internet abounds with moneymaking avenues, and these three appear to be the best preferred ones among them.

There are also appropriate plans and designs for larger riding arenas to accommodate the public or provide the requisites of training and riding businesses. A meticulously planned riding facility should be a good location, usable, and safe. It must be able to provide to properly care for the horses and at the same time providing enough space for shelter, rest and exercise of the horses.

The typical size of horse arenas will be determined mainly by the general purpose of the arena. The typical size of riding arenas runs 40 meters x 20 meters. A driving arena will normally require an area double the size of a riding arena.

It is imperative that you provide for a good foundation in order to insure durability and longevity of the riding facility in all weather conditions. If you are building the equestrian arena on native soil without grading or base material, it is important that you seek the assessment and recommendation of a grading contractor before you begin adding surface material. It is important that you achieve optimal and stable footing in your riding facility.

After you have adequately covered both the size and the location of horse arenas, then you can move on and shop around for the best and appropriate arena that can suit your wishes and plans. There are different suppliers that you can consider when looking for the best priced arena. The best way to begin your search is by going online. These online websites shall be able to provide you with factory set prices and customized construction proposals. From these online searches, you can receive prices from various companies from where you can finally pick your final choice.

How easy the actual building is one of the major considerations when choosing the material for your riding arenas. In most instances, steel materials are preferred and can be assembled and assembled quite easily. These steel building materials are typically pre-cut, drilled and organized and are ready for assembly as soon as it arrives.

A majority of the pre-fabricated steel frames and components used in this kind of riding arenas already come with all the necessary items needed in the building of the arena. The dealer will also provide you with a clear and easy to follow manual for the building of the steel structure. It includes all your required materials to put together the parts like a big jigsaw puzzle following the planned directions in the construction manual. The size and plan adhere to the highest standard and precision and are anchored on the most recent technology to ensure that every material fits exactly to form a strong steel structure.

Everybody has some sort of talent or affinity for something. These are the things where theyre experts, and truly know their way around the subject. In marketing, thats a niche, and these skills are truly priceless.

Niche marketing is, literally, a niche in the marketplace. All sports, for example, have their own niches, and marketing, advertising and merchandising are all pitched directly at these individual niches. Checking out an affiliate is the point where you start needing to look closely at your potential market, and what your niche involves.

It’s basic business sense not to dive in without checking where you’re going. You need to see proof you can make your affiliate scheme work, especially if you’re actively marketing. If you pick up an affiliate where you lack knowledge, and don’t understand the market, you’re at risk of creating a problem for yourself, and the risks are your time and money.

Internet has brought revolution not in our routine lives but also has proffered us with amazing methods to improve our trade. Marketing a product or service over the internet is identified as internet marketing or e-marketing.

Internet marketing gives us a lot of opportunities to market our product or service. It includes advertising a product by placing banners and text ads on a website. You can periodically send emails to prospects to make them potential customers known as email marketing. Interactive advertising and affiliate marketing are being used by most businesses to improve sales volume. At last, search engine marketing (SEM) is the widely used internet-marketing tool to increase your targeted traffic from search engines.

The basic reason as to why more businesses are using internet marketing is because the companies now have lot of different ways, techniques, and methods to target the audience via internet. Through internet marketing, companies can spend less on advertising and can still easily reach masses around the globe, the message can reach right into the inboxes of people with just a single click, and the companies can maintain electronic customer relationship management systems and so on. The benefits are endless, and if you have designed your marketing campaign very well, chances are that your business would see substantial gain in the assets within no time.

Search Engine Marketing is perchance the hot topic in the internet marketing trade. Each business at this time has a website, and to build up a visibility on the web they exercise search engine optimisation to acquire elevated rankings on the search engine’s organic results.

Search engine optimisation is done by considering on-page and off-page aspects of a website. Also, paid advertising and link building methods are also employed to promote your products or services.

Network Marketing Internet Business School Methods

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

If you are like most people you are either currently trying or have tried some sort of work at home or internet business school in the past. Don’t get me wrong, I work on the internet and think it is absolutely the best job in the world, but there are a lot of people (most) who fail. Now why is that? Why do so many people fail to ever realize their dreams working from home or on the internet?

This is why now you see many of the companies that will usually be offline are now online and calling themselves a network marketing internet retail business. Of course the concept of network marketing stays within them including residual income and working together as a team but the method of promoting the actual network marketing business are more effective and workable a lot better than the old-school methods used off-line.

You can also create a membership site that offers some kind of service each month and you will get paid from each member for every month they stay enrolled. If it is your goal to make $5000 a month, you just need to sell 100 memberships at $50 a piece. If you don’t want to create a product or start a membership site, no problem, you can be an affiliate and earn monthly commissions by selling existing products and services others have created.

Simple. Partner only with those who are currently achieving the level of success you want and make sure that the compensation plan encourages mentor-ship. Be wary of any compensation plan where you are not encouraged to produce for your mentor/sponsor long term or any plan where you can actually pass your sponsor if you really take off. Both of these situations will not lead to long term training and development.

The best way to sell in email marketing in my experience is to provide value to the customer first. Not only will this get more people to opt-in to your list but when they see that you are offering real value for free, that person will be more likely to buy from you in the future. Always leave a link to the product in every email no matter what, but a good rule of thumb is to use a hard sell once in every 4 or 5 emails sent out.

These factors will be directly proportional to your success online, so be choosy and do your due diligence. Personally I would look for a program where you are in a direct override commission structure, in a business with massive back office training underneath of a solid and proven mentor.
