2010 Hybrid Car Challenge

without comments

Honda has officially released the new Insight.The Insight is much cheaper than the Prius by a few grand. The Insight is now the least expensive hybrid out on the market in the U.S. 

The Honda has a great system that will help educate the driver how to drive more economically and thus save fuel.The Honda has a driving setting that will either increase the performance of the vehicle or decrease the perfrmance in the hope of getting better fuel economy.The hybrid engine uses new technology called the IMA which provide assistance to the motor via an electric boost. Th IMA system is cheaper to manufacture, lighter than the original, and adds to the overall interior space. I-VTEC helps the Insight where power and efficiency is concerned.The Insight has some great accessories that can be added onto the base model such as: a Blue Tooth six-speaker sound system, rims, vehicle control assist, F-1 inspired paddle shifters, and a navigation system. The goal of Honda is to make the Insight the top dog in the hybrid market, and this would entail selling more cars then the ever populat Prius. 

On the other side of the coin, the Toyota Prius has a 160 horsepower 1.8 liter engine uses 3 modes of operation. The EV mode allows the Prius to run on battery power alone, the ECO mode’s responsibility is to ensure the optimum gas mileage is obtained, and then the Power Mode give more power and throttle response.  The Prius also has a PCS, Pre- Collision System, available.Adaptive Cruise Control uses a laser to keep the same distance between your car and the car infront of you, and the Prius will automatically apply brakes if needed. The Prius also includes a new touch sensor system on the steering wheel to ensure safe driving.

Even though the Insight has won the batlle of the price tags, the Prius still has a better MPG rating.Right now the MPG ratings for the new Insight are at 40 MPG in the city and 43 MPG on the highway, and the Prius comes in at 48 MPG city and 45 MPG on the highway.  So, if you commute 20,000 miles per year (and gas costs .50 a gallon), so driving the Insight would cost over 00 in fuel a year whereas the Prius would cost just over 00. When you drive a Prius, the amount of gas saved compared to an Insight is about 53 gallons, so to cover the lower price you would have to drive for 27 years.The Toyota Prius does net a better MPG rating, yet the Honda is a better value due to its cheaper MSRP!

YouTube Chiropractic Video Marketing Crushes Competitors

without comments

When I first signed onto YouTube in 2006 I knew a revolution was imminent. I was having trouble marketing my chiropractic practice, and YouTube was going to be my answer, plain and simple. I would also go on to utilize YouTube to create continued streams of residual income. I couldn’t believe what suddenly seemed possible, and certainly could never have guessed the actual success that I would champion. Within 2 short years, YouTube had transformed my life.

Remember when Ron Paul achieved an amazing amount of campaign funds for his presidential run; nearly 6 million dollars? Well that was all thanks to YouTube, the 3rd most popular website on the planet! And he was able to achieve that wealth within 24 hours! That’s the power of Web 2.0, and all the magic can be yours too. With wonderful features to keep the buzz going, like ratings, comments, favorite ranking, and the rest, your profile can turn thousands of heads.

Even though it’s hard to admit, people aren’t reading as much as they used to. Articles, newspapers, and magazines are losing ground thanks to easy media like video streams. People aren’t even going to the TV as much anymore for up- to-date information! We all know how competitive the chiropractic marketplace is, and if you aren’t utilizing social media to get ahead, you’re certainly doomed to fall behind.

For over two years I have been showing chiropractors how to take over the niche in their own communities using the power of social media. My video training program is the number one program for mastering the market on Web 2.0 sites like MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, and Digg. These small business chiropractors are now getting daily calls for service and handfuls of new clients each month. And here’s the real secret: it doesn’t cost you one cent in advertising to accomplish all this!

I’m going to toot my own horn here and admit that I have single-handedly changed the old marketing ways of yesteryear and found the secret to the marketing wave of the future. Old chiropractic consultants and management groups are now realizing that they’re about to become extinct, and they’re shaking in their old boots. It’s time for you too to understand the methods that the marketing pros are using today, to update your business and protect it from the same fate as the other failing businesses. Give your practice and profits an injection of high-octane success.

Even while you sleep, YouTube is alive and working hard for your business, 24 hours a day. In the market this is known as “leverage”, and the most successful people around the world know that it’s the key to wealth. YouTube is a way to make advertising personal. In the social media sphere, people get to see the human side of you and your business. When people can connect to that, you’ll see your business expand almost overnight. Future patients will feel like they’ve already met you, and that gives them confidence in your practice before they’ve even stepped in the door!

Beginners and seasoned professionals alike will gain tremendous knowledge from my 30 video training series, being able to finally top the local competition and conquer the Google search engine. By uploading only one video, I am able to have 4 of my listings on the first page of Google; plus one other secret, of course, which you’ll soon learn in the videos. You’re about to have so many secrets and insider strategies come your way, you’re not going to know what to do with it all.

It’s time to seize the day and seize your life. Finally get the time and flexibility you deserve to be happy, by marketing on the social media sites. Start your success journey with the tips I have already given, and give your whole financial profile a makeover. It’s time for you to be one of the geniuses in the marketing world, and have a great time in the process. Let your business grow at the speed of life!

Profitable Chiropractic Marketing on Social Networks

without comments

Chiropractors have long been deficient when it comes to innovative marketing. Most fail to learn or apply the important lessons of business management when it comes to their practice. They have a great deal of technical knowledge, but lack common business sense. Times are changing, however, and those who are willing to open their minds to new ideas will see themselves pull ahead quickly from the pack. A slowing economy doesn’t need to be a threat when you have the tools to effectively market your business in today’s digital world.

Are you wasting thousands of dollars every year on postcards, newspaper drops, and telemarketing? Do you spend time at the chamber of commerce, trade shows, and networking events trying to generate referrals with minimal results? You may be surprised to find out that the best form of marketing and advertising is absolutely free.

After three years of massive success, doctors have finally started calling to ask me about Web 2.0 and SEO marketing strategies. I was the first Chiropractor to bring social networking as a marketing tool to others in our profession, and many were shocked when I told them I was generating massive amounts of new clients from using Myspace, Facebook and YouTube.

When I first starting using social networks, I knew that they held unlimited potential for generating tons of new patients and creating more interest in my business. I spent countless hours working on and perfecting a system that would consistently give me positive results.

As I observed other chiropractors on these sites, I noticed that their first instinct was to spam other people with basic advertising. The problem with this, of course, is that people hate spam. Not only that but spamming is actually against the user agreement on most of these sites, and when you are caught, you’ll be booted off their network. The best thing to do is find a marketing mentor who is already skilled at navigating Web 2.0. Very few people do this, either because they already think they know it all, or because they really don’t understand how important it is.

The key to marketing in social networks comes down to credibility. If people perceive you as trustworthy, normal, and friendly you will be welcomed as a ‘friend’. If however, you attack your contacts with a traditional marketing campaign, you will fail miserably. You must be able to give your contacts and friends something of value. Serious thought needs to be put in to the design of your profile page, and the kind of information you place on it. To compete in Web 2.0 your pages must be interesting, informative, and most importantly-fun

Video marketing on YouTube is the same way. You absolutely must provide a fortune in value for your audience or have content that makes people want to listen to you regularly. Begin to brainstorm today about what types of videos that you can make and how you will capture attention with the messages your provide.

This is going to be a new language for most doctors since we live in more technologically advanced times. You have a choice though. You can either take a year out of your schedule to learn everything you need to know about social media marketing or you can find a mentor who’s been there and done that. The latter will reduce your learning curve by about a year while the first one will cost you an arm and leg in money and mistakes.

Need Car Parts - Try Used Parts

without comments

You are probably well aware of that sinking feeling you get when you realize that your car needs expensive repairs.  Whether you were in an accident and need to replace a bumper, car door, or other body part, or wear and tear finally caught up to you and you need a new transmission, muffler, or shocks, finding and paying for new car parts can be extremely frustrating and expensive. 

If you are in the market for parts for your car and want to save money and likely save time, why not check out the options in the used car parts market.  Used auto parts can provide you with the convenience and price you need while also offering you the highest of quality.  There are many reasons why looking for used car parts for sale is a smart choice and, after finding out more, you will likely be sold on the idea of checking out used auto parts online.

One of the biggest advantages to buying used car parts online is that you can save a lot of money over buying new parts.  New parts tend to come with a huge markup and, especially if you have a foreign model or unusual car, can cost exorbitant amounts. 

When you decide to buy used instead of new, you can often save up to 60 or 70 percent of the cost of a new part- even when the difference in quality is slight or none.  This makes it affordable to take care of repairs that are usually considered expensive and to be able to keep your vehicle in top running order. 

As used auto parts are a much more affordable alternative to new ones, you will likely enjoy hundreds or thousands of dollars in savings when opting for cheap used car parts.

Though cost is a big factor in deciding whether to buy new or used auto body parts, there are also many other reasons why used auto parts are a smart decision.  Thanks to the Internet and the ability to access companies like Basic Car Parts, you can find the parts you need extremely easily and quickly.

Basic Car Parts, for instance, has nationwide sourcing of barely used car parts which it can reference with the parts you are looking for and quickly get into your hands.  With online used car parts dealers, you can expect very easy access to the used car parts you need without even having to call salvage yards or car recycling shops. 

Between the convenience of the used car parts buying experience and the money-saving factor, you will find using a used auto parts dealer a very satisfying experience.

Not only can getting your car parts from a used auto parts dealer provide you with convenience and savings, but it can also lead to a shorter wait for your car parts than if you decided to get them new. 

Often, when ordering new parts, there is a long waiting period because of need for assembly, backorders, or trouble with part location.  However, with used auto body parts, you have access to parts that are already assembled and ready to go throughout the nation.  This makes it very quick and easy to get the parts you need within a timely manner.

Used car parts have tons of advantages over new ones and are often of the same quality or better than if you got them new.Because of this, if you enjoy saving money and time, it is well worth contacting the used parts dealer, Basic Car Parts, for your car part needs.

Finding A “New” Used Car

without comments

Is it time to think about getting a new vehicle? Do your kids refer to your car as “the dinosaur” or “the boat”? Does it blow blue smoke everywhere? It sounds like it’s time for a replacement. While it may not be important to you to have a cool ride, it should be important to have a dependable one. Especially if your kids are approaching driving age.

It may be high time you went out and searched for a new car. Or at least a car that is new to you. After all, that’s the key isn’t it? Well, just because you’re in the market for a vehicle, doesn’t mean that you have to head out to the local dealerships and fork over loads of cash. Why don’t you check out the ads regarding used cars for sale by owners? This will save you some dough.

You might want to begin by checking out your local newspaper. The classified section is a great place to start for deals on new and used cars available in your area. There are also specialized guides that contain classifieds listings for cars all across the U.S. Your dream ride might be right there, waiting for you on the East Coast. Or maybe you want to try a new way to find a car.

The internet has certainly advanced over the years, and specialized search engines have popped up for just about everything, including vehicles. You just choose the make, model, year and price range of the vehicle you are looking for and there it is. View pictures, ask questions, and sometimes place a bid if on an auction website. Or you can broaden your search if you’re not finding the right match. You can also do all sorts of research and read reviews on every single car.

Do you want to know why it pays to avoid new cars? Well, first of all, when you buy a new vehicle, straight of the lot, it decreases in value immediately after you drive away. And I mean it decreases a lot. Why spend 40 grand on a brand new car, when you can simply look up used cars for sale by owners and pay half the price for it in like-new condition? Who cares if it has 40,000 miles on it if it runs well and looks new? You can literally save 50 percent. Isn’t it worth it?
