How to Start, Online Banking for Yourself/Business

Hello Folks,

We at blogzynergy.com are thanking everybody for their positive suggestions/ideas etc etc.One of our visitors Andy Kartonidjojo triggered our team to write a blog regarding online banking. For those who doesn’t know Andy exist in this world, we like to inform you that he is a very positive minded entrepreneur in Suriname, South America.Anyway you can follow him on his active Facebook/Twitter account. Let us roll back to Online banking where the world is moving billions of money digitally.

Online banking is about managing your money online. You can certainly save trips to the branch, view account balances, and move money between accounts, but you can also do much more. When you go electronic, you can do even more than you’d get done at a branch (often with better rates), and in some cases, you’ll use non-bank services or apps with even more to offer.

On this page, we’ll cover how to start banking online, and how to complete common tasks such as paying bills, depositing checks with your mobile device, earning interest on a free checking account, borrowing money, and more.

How to Bank Online
If you’re just getting started, there are two ways to bank online: use your existing bank, or open a new account (possibly with an online-only bank).

Existing bank: if you already have a bank account, you’re halfway there. Almost every bank or credit union offers online banking – you just haven’t used it yet. At a minimum, it’s a good idea to use your bank’s app or website, and it might also be worth looking into online-only banks.

To start banking online using your existing account, you’ll need to sign up for electronic services. In most cases, that’s just a matter of going to the bank’s website, looking for “Online Banking” or something similar, and clicking “Register” when asked for a username and password. If you use mobile devices, you can do everything there instead – just download your bank’s app and register for a username and password.

If the process is confusing for you, don’t hesitate to call (or visit) your bank and ask somebody to walk you through the process.

They are eager to get you online because you’ll handle routine service requests on your own and you’ll use up less staff time in the future. Really, they’ll be glad to help you figure out the system.

Opening a new account: if you don’t have a bank account anywhere (or you’re going to open an account at an online-only bank), it’s time to open one.
Having your own account allows you to save a lot of time and money, and you’ll be even better off if you bank online. First, you’ll need to decide if you want to use an online-only bank (which does not have any physical branches). Online-only banks are more likely to offer higher rates on savings accounts and free checking. However, physical branches offer valuable services that you can’t get from an internet-only bank.

The good news is that you can do both: use an account at a brick-and-mortar bank or credit union and open an account at an online-only bank. Internet banks are almost always free accounts (assuming you don’t bounce checks or overdraw your account) so it shouldn’t cost you anything extra.

If you want to start banking online, you might as well start by opening your account online. Most banks now allow you to complete your application entirely online (read about how that works – it’s easy).

Need ideas on where to open an account? It’s best to research and find a bank that really meets your needs.

Things you can do Online

Once you’re up and running, it’s time to start using your account. You can keep it simple if you like and just view your account balances, and if you’re comfortable you can move on to more advanced tasks.

Pay bills: one of the earliest (and most useful) features of online banking is free online bill payment. Instead of writing checks and mailing in payments, you can have your bank do all of that for you – plus you’ll save stamps.

Earn more: online banks are a great place for your savings. Most online accounts pay more than traditional brick and mortar accounts, and internet-only accounts pay the best rates (typically with no fees or minimum account balances).

Free checking (possibly with interest): it’s getting harder to find free checking accounts at brick-and-mortar banks, but free checking is the norm at online banks. In fact, an online bank might even pay you interest on the cash in your checking account.

Deposit checks: if you’ve got a mobile device with a camera, you can probably use it to deposit checks into your account – any time of day or night. You don’t need to find the time to make a trip to the branch or wait for the mail to deliver those checks to your bank.

Send money: need to pay a friend for your share of dinner? There are several easy ways to send money to somebody without writing a check or digging up exact change. Some banks offer services for making payments, while other services (think PayPal) simply act as a front-end and access your bank account.

Borrow money: in addition to deposit accounts (like chacking and savings accounts), you can also borrow online. Traditional banks let you fill out applications, and newer online lenders make borrowing completely different– it’s easier to get approved, faster, and less expensive to borrow.

Staying Safe

Online banking makes life easier, but it also makes a few things easier for thieves.

Fortunately, you’re probably safer when you take your finances online. Security features are extremely strong, and you don’t have to worry about old-fashioned techniques like stealing mail and forging checks. In fact, the U.S. Government encourages everybody to receive Social Security via direct deposit, in part to reduce fraud.

The main threat to your account is you – think twice before you provide information to anybody. Remember that your bank will never contact you and ask you for your account number, Social Security Number, password, or PIN . Those requests are almost always phishing scams. As long as you keep your devices up to date (including operating system updates, spyware and malware programs, and antivirus protection), you’ll be immune to most threats.

If your account is affected by fraud or errors, there’s a decent chance that you’ll be protected (in your personal accounts – your business accounts are another matter). But you have to notify your bank quickly to get MAXIMUM protection.

With this blog we at BLOGZYNERGY are hoping that you are now ripe enough to start doing online banking activities. Save time and money with online banking.

CLEAR NETWORK INCOME FORMULA FOR DOOM THINKERS

The Network Marketing High Income Formula

Want to be a mega-earner in network marketing? You’ll need these three qualities: Leadership, Innovation, and Commitment.

Network Marketing rewards its leaders handsomely. The leaders are the ones who are willing to hold conference calls, offer their homes for meetings, or become corporate trainers. Leaders help and teach others how to be successful (regardless if they are downline, crossline, or in another opportunity).

Leaders will always have a home in this industry, because every single company CEO, and every top producer, wants a leader in their organization.

Network Marketing rewards innovators handsomely. I remember when I was introduced to the NEW THW Global business.Thousands of people rolled in, but the same people turn backwards became pessimists that it is not a business. So far you also have positive minded members who are pushing forward, because they know it is an opportunity and a long road to success. I am reading daily how people talk negative about MLM, but they don’t do a good research before they start posting nonsense. To all these kind of people i like to say the innovators who started with this kind of business are smart thinkers and they will succeed very soon.The Doom thinkers will then run behind the actions. Take your own eyes, be on sharp and witness what will roll out.

The next innovation is just waiting to be brought to the market. History has shown that if you are innovative, you will be richly rewarded.

Network Marketing rewards commitment handsomely. If you plan on giving up after hearing no a couple of times, or if you feel you’re done recruiting after you get your first couple of people in (like the average person), then quit now. The average person in this industry does not make money — they lose money. Why? They are not committed to being successful. They are not willing to do whatever it takes. And being committed to doing whatever it takes is what is necessary to be successful in this industry.

There is no such thing as “Fast Money” in network marketing. Have you heard any of these? “No cold calling.” “No selling.” “Work a couple hours a week..” “Retire in two to three years.” All Lies!

Lifetime residual income is not built over a few months. It takes years to build a retirement income. Hard work. Polished selling skills. Consistency. Persistence. You must be committed to these basic values to achieve success.

So pick your poison, or embrace all three. The qualities of leadership, innovation, and commitment are paramount to your success in network marketing and life.

FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE LIVE WEBINARS OF FUNNEL DOC FREQUENTLY WILL KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT !

The Marketing Roller Coaster

Hello Entrepreneurs………

Ever hear someone say “Don’t listen to them! They just want to take you on a roller coaster ride!”

Many people who care about you and your well being will say something to this effect when you are provided with a business opportunity online. It is a way to deter you from joining up but what does it mean?

A roller coaster provides anxiety building climbs, adrenaline pumping falls and exhilarating twists and turns. Half the time one is unsure which direction they are going and after all the ups and downs and twists and turns they find themselves back where they started.

Like a roller coaster there are times when business is slow and times when things seem to be overwhelming fast. However, the scariest part is that no one wants to end up where they started with their business. Starting up a business costs money too, so if you end up where you started you are actually at a loss.

This is what upsets people. No one wants to put themselves through such a stressful event and come out with less than what they put in! It is true that the aim of a roller coaster is to provide some exciting entertainment, but a business is viewed as a very serious money making system. If you don’t make money then the business experience is considered a total waste.

But it is exactly this mentality that prevents people from succeeding in life. Money cannot buy happiness. If you’re only goal is to make money then every drop, climb and twist in your business will be felt doubly. It will consume you. To a person with this state of mind every missed chance at a sale is a disheartening loss and reason to give up.

It’s like wishing a roller coaster ride was over as you climb into the seat. Your goal is to have fun but if you are too fearful of the ups and downs then when you get to the end you’ve missed the point of taking the roller coaster! Many people get off at the end and say “I’ll never do that again!”

The same can be said for a home business. If you wish you had all the money before you even started your business then you are missing the point of having money. Why did you want to join a business? Most people say for the money but then why would you want money? Many people who start up their businesses do not need it to survive but rather to gain luxuries in their lives. Sure you could buy that new car or house but why does that make you happy?

It is for the status. It is for the experience; for a sense of freedom and accomplishment. Money does not buy all of these things for you but rather it is the time and energy you have spent taking on the roller coaster.
If you start up a business with the sole intent to make money then you will end up like the other 95% of internet based businesses that fail. The most successful people take heed of the advice, “Watch out, they want to take you on a roller coaster ride.” and expect that there will be ups and downs but they have fun with them. Even if they do not make money they learn from their experiences and apply the knowledge they learn. In real life there are ups and downs to everything and it is the way one deals with these ups and downs that determines the quality of their lives.

Money is only a symbol of one’s real goals. It is an illusion born from materialism that blinds so many people from the roller coaster ride that is their life; from the roller coaster that is their business. It makes every twist and every turn more frightening and overwhelming. Do not become blind and miss the ride because sometimes the journey is more important than its end.

LET US ROLL……LEARN, EARN AND GROW

Designing your sales funnel is not difficult

Sales funnel is the pathway that captures sales prospects and moves them from awareness of your product to interest, desire and ultimately the sale. Here’s the way to create a sales funnel for your company.

One of the most important things to do as a business owner, and sadly one of the things that many small business owners neglect, is to create a sales funnel.If you’re not familiar with that term, a sales funnel is your plan for leading prospects from the “I don’t know you” stage to the “let’s do business” stage. It doesn’t just happen. You have to figure out how to identify prospects, qualify them, and then lead them to the sale.

Think about how a funnel is shaped. It’s wide on one end and narrow on the other. The wide end “catches” the liquid you pour into it and then gravity pulls that liquid through the narrow end, leaving behind the residue of unqualified particles. That’s a crude analogy, but it does help us understand the sales process a little more clearly.

How to Identify FRESH Prospects

The first step in the sales process is identifying prospects. The goal is to drive interested parties into the wide end of your sales funnel so that you can qualify them as good prospects or identify them as “unwanted residue.”

First, begin by defining your ideal customer. It helps if you draw a sketch.

Create a questionnaire for yourself that identifies the problems your ideal customer has. For instance, if you run a flower shop, you may have a questionnaire that looks something like this:

Do they know someone who is getting married?
Did someone they know recently pass away?
Are they romantically involved with anyone at this time?
Are they allergic to certain types of flowers?

You’ll have to come up with your own list of qualifying questions. You’re not going to share this questionnaire with anyone; it’s merely for your planning benefit. The goal here is to to find out your perfect clients needs and wild desires. Few people buy flowers for weddings/birthdays, so you may want to identify people who are getting married or know someone who is getting married, or people who will celebrate their birthday(s).

100+ Ways To Be An Extraordinary Networker

And that is how most of us stay. Ordinary. Average. Mediocre. Active yet ineffective. Moving… but not toward our dreams.

Being ordinary is a bad plan. Pursuing the path of least resistance means high-grade mediocrity and close-but-not-quite-there results.

Mediocrity is an effecting (and frustrating) villain. It is neither crashing defeat nor breathtaking failure. But a slow, soul-sucking poison. A silent assassin.

One minute you’re standing on top of the world. The next you’re at the bottom of the heap, scratching your head and wondering what happened. You’ve completely lost your mojo. And you’re not even sure how you got to this awful place called mediocrity. And more than anything else, you want your mojo back. You want that confidence, that feeling of control, that ability to perform at high levels.

You want to do more, be more.

There is a word for that. A word to describe something that transcends mediocrity. A word that communicates “more than average.”

Extra-ordinary.

Not ordinary. Something extra.

But how does extraordinary happen?

Extraordinary starts with you—perhaps an ordinary person at an ordinary job doing ordinary things on an ordinary day. No special advantages. No remarkable skills that can’t be duplicated. No large bank account. Just all-around “ordinary.”

Then, you decide to do something extra. To be something extra. Something a lot-a-bit extra. And not just one time. But day after day after day.

And then one day, everyone watching you will notice that “ordinary” is no longer an accurate description for the person you have become. For what you have done. And they will shake their heads and remark that what they have seen is extraordinary. Because it was. And because you will be.

And that’s how extraordinary happens.

By not being satisfied with ordinary. By being vigilant. Being obsessed. No excuses. Just a relentless focus on being better.

It’s deciding to go the extra mile when the last mile was hard enough. It’s controlling your mind in spite of the obstacles ahead.

It comes down to this really simple thought: If you don’t make time to pursue being extraordinary, then you’ll never experience true greatness. All you’ll ever know is mediocrity.

You’re already making time to be average and ordinary.

Why not choose to be extraordinary?

Tips For Successful Mobile Marketing

Mobile marketing is one great way to target a whole new group of people to market your product. It is a fact that just roughly everybody owns some sort of mobile device today. As business owners, there is the need for you to diversify your target market. And that includes mobile users. Sure, though these users have wants and needs and would want an easy way to grab those in just one click.

However, before delving into mobile marketing efforts, you must know the basic tips to make it work for your business.

You need to comprehend what your consumer wants in order to market them through mobile formats.
Mobile marketing is not the notion of “saying more with less” when it proceeds to your promotional content.You cannot have dull product and landing pages here that go on and on, since it’s not saying anything helpful. Mobile marketing progress can best be achieved when you provide your content clean and clear.
Wait for results for your first mobile marketing campaign before beginning a second one.
Try out as many mobile devices as possible and ask your customers for feedback about their usage experiences.
When you call or text someone, remember that they are “people” and deserve to be treated well.
If you aspire to be successful in your mobile marketing, you must adapt changes gradually. Always be up for even a little tweak in your programs but remember to study and know it well.
Though mobile marketing has been proven to be an effective way to connect with your customers, there is still a necessity for it to be capable of working on multiple platforms. Note that if your marketing efforts don’t work on all the popular devices, you could lose customers.
Before applying mobile marketing, techniques do some research if your target audience can appreciate it. Know what your target audience responds to before you spend lots of money on mobile marketing. Are they more likely to use a mobile phone than desktops? What is the main type of operating systems do their phones?
Make sure your content is timely and purposeful. The idea of adding mobile marketing to your marketing strategies might excite you, but you must create content that fills the need to. The information and products content that you put out needs to speak to your potential customers’ problems. If it is appropriate, they will contact you.
As more and more people own mobile devices, the demand for mobile marketing will increase. Pretty soon most people will have a mobile phone, making mobile marketing a highly profitable way to promote products and services.

By using the these points, you will be ahead of your competition and will be in the right place to effectively improve your products through this new form of marketing. Just another reminder, your business shouldn’t be based solely on mobile marketing this is just one way to promote and gain more audience. But as proven right, mobile marketing is one best way to market in this current phase. Happy marketing!

The Network Marketing High Income Formula

Want to be a mega-earner in network marketing? You’ll need these three qualities: Leadership, Innovation, and Commitment.

Leaders will always have a home in this industry, because every single company CEO, and every top producer, wants a leader in their organization.

Network Marketing rewards innovators handsomely. I remember when Dale Maloney (a leader in this industry for over 20 years) scared up a few dollars to buy a mailing list, some stamps, envelopes, and paper to send out some sales letters to recruit others into his opportunity.

I remember the first national ads in the newspaper USA Today, the first toll-free recorded information lines, mailing audio tapes (even before Dead Doctors Don’t Lie), email marketing, and flash presentation lead capture websites. The innovators who used these marketing breakthroughs made small fortunes.

The next innovation is just waiting to be brought to the market. History has shown that if you are innovative, you will be richly rewarded.

So pick your poison, or embrace all three. The qualities of leadership, innovation, and commitment are paramount to your success in network marketing and life.

MLM for Beginners – The Four Personality Types You Have To Know For Sure

Whether you are using online MLM strategies, or you are building your MLM business completely offline, the most important part of your business is people. It is not enough to just be aware of the four personality types, but to understand them fully.

Many people think because they use online MLM marketing strategies that they do not have to talk to people. However, understanding the four personality types is vital to your success, because after you generate targeted leads, you still need to communicate with them.

I have read many books and studied many courses on the subject of the four personality types, but the simplest explanation of how it is applicable to network marketing can be found in Jerry Clark’s course, The Magic of Colors . I will base this article off of that audio collection.

The Magic of Colors describes the four personality types using colors. I have also heard some network marketing training that teaches this concept using animals that relate to the personalities. For visual purposes, I will use colored sea animals.

You have the Red Sharks, Blue Dolphins, Yellow Whales, and the Green Urchins.

We all have a little bit of each the four personality types in us, but one is our dominant way of being. When you hear these descriptions, you may say something like “That sounds like me, except for that part.”
