Crowdfunding is a method of raising capital through the collective effort of friends, family, customers, and individual investors. This approach taps into the collective efforts of a large pool of individuals-primarily online via social media and crowdfunding platforms-and leverages their networks for greater reach and exposure.

Crowdfunding can be a very viable option to fund your business dream. Why?

• It allows you to take advantage of the biggest global funding resource: All people from all over the world.

• It brings you a large group of believers with a really good chance on loyal customers and avid supporters when your business launches.

• It shares the risk among many, putting less financial pressure on just a few individuals.

• It cuts out banks, venture capitalists and professional investors to create a business funding process following your terms.

• It gives you the possibility to engage with your believers even before your business launches. Exchanging knowledge and challenging each other will make your plan even stronger.

Upside:

A successful crowdfunding round not only provides your business with needed cash, but creates a base of customers who feel as though they have a stake in the business’ success.

Downside:

If you don’t have an engaging story to tell, then your crowdfunding bid could be a flop. Sites such as Kickstarter don’t collect money until a fundraising goal is reached, so that’s still a lot of wasted time that could have been spent doing other things to grow the business.

Types of Crowdfunding

Just like there are many different kinds of capital round raises for businesses in all stages of growth, there are a variety of crowdfunding types. Which crowdfunding method you select depends on the type of product or service you offer and your goals for growth. The 3 primary types are donation-based, rewards-based, and equity crowdfunding.

The most common type of crowdfunding fundraising is using sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, where donations are sought in return for special rewards. That could mean free product or even a chance to be involved in designing the product or service.

Donation-Based Crowdfunding

Broadly speaking, you can think of any crowdfunding campaign in which there is no financial return to the investors or contributors as donation-based crowdfunding. Common donation-based crowdfunding initiatives include fundraising for disaster relief, charities, nonprofits, and medical bills.

Rewards-Based Crowdfunding

Rewards-based crowdfunding involves individuals contributing to your business in exchange for a “reward,” typically a form of the product or service your company offers. Even though this method offers backers a reward, it’s still generally considered a subset of donation-based crowdfunding since there is no financial or equity return. This approach is a popular option for crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, because it lets business-owners incentivize their contributor without incurring much extra expense or selling ownership stake.

Equity-Based Crowdfunding

Unlike the donation-based and rewards-based methods, equity-based crowdfunding allows contributors to become part-owners of your company by trading capital for equity shares. As equity owners, your contributors receive a financial return on their investment and ultimately receive a share of the profits in the form of a dividend or distribution

Crowdfunding may make it more difficult for entrepreneurs to commit fraud

Many articles have been written warning us of the dangers of crowdfunding. Naturally, entrepreneurs and investors who choose to transfer capital via crowdfunding should be aware of the risks associated with this form of capital distribution. But despite the risk, the potential for good far outweighs the dangers.

For example, crowdfunded companies will likely be screened by broker-dealers or funding portals who are just as savvy and sophisticated as any institutional investor, plus they’ll have the critical scrutiny of the crowd to reinforce the portals’ initial due diligence. The bottom line is crowdfunded companies will be exposed to a higher number of industry relevant investors, resulting in a more robust and efficient due diligence process than can be effected through current funding models.

You’ve put in the hours of work to create something wonderful. First of all, congratulations! It wasn’t easy, no doubt. Now all you need is an audience, right? Therein lies the problem, though. That coveted audience can be hard to find. Very hard, in fact. Your app can easily be buried in the slush pile that is the self-published markets, dismissed as not being worth the time, or worst of all: not seen at all! If you’re certain your only problem is that you lack an audience-that your product is perfect-then this guide to free marketing will, no doubt, be of some help.

If you’ve ever taken more than a peek at the mobile game marketplaces (Google Play, App Store, Windows Store) then you’ve seen the clones that occupy it. Each title is a synonym for Clash, Legend, Runner, or has a bird or an animal of some kind in it; the icons are usually a screaming person, a close up of food, or a rehashed classic in neon colors. While it would be wise to avoid these clichés, the takeaway here is that it’ll be difficult to stand out. So, to begin with your marketing campaign, start local. Build a base there; then expand.

Of course, tell your family and friends. Then-

Print out flyers with rip tabs at the bottom. Each tab should have the URL of your app printed on them. Interested consumers can pull off these tabs to help remind them to download it later. You can find free bulletin boards to post your flyers at most Laundromats and a lot of grocery stores. University campuses also typically have quite a few bulletin boards. Word of mouth is a good start, so think of each tab pulled as a new speaker, who’ll then tell friends around the world, who might in turn spread the word even further. Plus, consumers will often be kinder and more likely to write a positive review if they believe it’ll be helping someone in their circle-even if that circle happens to be the entire town. Loyalty works for sports teams; it can work for your app.

Create business cards to hand out whenever your app ever comes up in conversation. A custom bumper sticker or car magnets are a good way to make every drive you take an advertisement excursion. Avoid placing flyers under windshield wipers as this is more likely to annoy than cultivate interest. A custom made T-shirt with your app name, imagery, and where to download it is another good way to passively advertise while walking around large local events (balloon races, rib cook-offs, farmer’s markets).

After you’ve marketed locally, move on to the internet. Here you’ll obviously find a much larger potential audience. To start, make blog posts on your personal website(s) about your app or game. Also, create a YouTube game play video and video trailer to showcase your work. Also, as you’ll be sending out some emails, create an automatic signature with your name and links to your app or game.

Forums are a good place to find an audience. SlideDB, ModDB, IndieDB, and Penny Arcade allow you to submit a post about your game, as well as updates. Reddit is a hugely popular website with subreddits (smaller groups of particular interest) that welcome posts about indie games. /r/IndieGaming and/r/freegames are two such subreddits with a lot of followers, but a simple search can lead you to many more. The development software used to create the game also has related company forums, in which you may share your game. Beyond this, utilize social media. Post to Twitter, being sure to use hashtags such as #indiedev #gamedev and those more specific to your app or game, in order to get views beyond your followers. Tweet at indie game reviewers with your app information. Post to Facebook to connect with family and friends and keep them updated; and Instagram as well as Pinterest, again using tags to reach new markets. You can create a press release and submit it to press release websites in hopes of journalists picking it up to write a story, or submit the press release directly to local newspapers or magazines.

Consider publishing to platforms outside the mainstream ones such as GooglePlay. Other such publishing platforms include: SlideME, GameJolt, and NewGrounds. Video Reviewers are also a good idea to help create buzz. ArcadeGo is one such promoter, but countless others can be found by searching for ‘gameplay videos’ and following the game reviewers back to their account pages where you may find and contact them by email requesting a review.

Free App Reviews websites are another way to get seen. Submit your app to all the app reviewers you can find and a good number of them should accept your game or app if it’s of high quality. App reviewers include: The Great Apps, Indie Game Dev, AppsZoom, AppBrain, AppZoom, Indie Game Hunt, and Super Game Droid.

If all this sounds like a lot of work, that’s because it is. Finishing your app or game is only half the battle. The other half is finding an interested audience. Putting in the work and reaching out to these reviewers, forums, and your local community; however, will help ensure you get more attention than doing nothing.

Earlier this year, Cisco announced replacement switches to the 1841/2800/3800 routers.  The older routers have not entirely reached end of sale, but the newer routers (1941/2900/3900) offer big changes in router licensing.

Why is it different?  Similar to a PIX or ASA, the new routers use license keys and a universal image to determine the available features. This new licensing scheme shows a clear difference between the version of IOS installed and the feature set installed.  You can change them independently and they don’t afect each other.

The license structure has been streamlined, as there are only 4 feature sets.  None of the packages overlap.  They are:

IP Base: The default feature set.  It has support for the most common routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP), common WAN technologies (MLPPP, MLFR), and common LAN technologies (802.1q trunking).

Data: The Data license adds support for MPLS, ATM, IS-IS, and non-IP L3 protocols.

Voice: The UC (Unified Communciations) feature set adds support for voice interfaces, CallManager Express, and Unity Express modules.

Security: The Security feature set adds IPSec VPN capabilities, SSL VPN capabilities, and IOS firewall features.

Cisco allows you to pick and choose better depending on your application.   You will always need to be concerned with the amount of DRAM and Flash memory installed to make sure that you can run the proper features.

Also, check out the performance features on the new routers of upgraded ports and processor speed.  And, as an alternative, consider the low price of the older 1841/2800/3800 series.   A little thought can save some real dollars here.

What happens when entrusted leaders do not take time to develop well-crafted visions for impactful projects or organizational direction? Consider the following illustration.

One summer’s day, a group of five colleagues and I decided to go on a morning hike in the Texas Hill Country. We planned to complete it before the sun blazed midday and prepared accordingly. Because our leader had hiked it before, we trusted that he had a plan.

After an hour, we made it to the peak of the mound. As we descended, some members of the group decided to encircle the mountain at its base. We all went along, believing our group’s leader knew how far it would be around the base and how long it would take to hike it.

As it happened, he had no idea.

After three or four miles, we began to ask how long it would take before reaching our original starting point. Seeing no end, or rather, no starting point in sight, we began to feel scared; our leader was lost, we had no compass, the sun was ablaze, and we were overheated, thirsty and hungry.

Worse, our group had lost faith in its leader. We no longer had confidence in him to lead us to safety. One thing we were sure of: We had gotten ourselves into a bad situation from which none of us knew how to get out.

Luckily, hours later, the six of us made it back safely from a hike that was supposed to cover a designated territory in a time-frame that was agreeable to everyone. In the end, our expectations were dashed. We got lost, hiked longer than we were prepared for and found ourselves unprepared to deal with the rising heat. The expected enjoyment turned into a frustrating, even dangerous, experience for all.

This is exactly what happens when entrusted leaders do not take time to develop well-crafted visions for impactful projects or organizational direction. They take organizations and people in a direction that results in a bad situation for everyone. When leaders push forward without clearly defining where they are going or how long it will take to get there, without provisions or with a clear outcome in mind, the results are confusion, fear and doubt, and widespread distrust in the leadership.

Without a well-planned vision for the journey and the desired outcome, neither the leader nor the organization can foresee the challenges of the road ahead or the solutions to those challenges, and, therefore, cannot equip themselves with the tools they need to succeed.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

When a new leader, whether a front-line manager or the CEO, takes the helm, he or she must create and communicate his or her vision as a critical first step in the organization’s success.

If you are leading people, no matter how many or at what level, you must have a well-planned vision of where you want to take your organization and communicate that idea effectively. A tangible vision lays the foundation for success and drives the strategy that will be implemented to attain success.

A clear, well-crafted vision can help avoid unnecessary pitfalls by providing four key components of successful leadership initiatives:

1. Direction. A vision provides direction for the leader and the organization. It allows people to focus, prioritize and plan ahead to successfully overcome any obstacles that may arise.

2. Purpose. People like to know that their work is meaningful. They want to feel that they are part of something bigger than themselves. A vision helps them see how their efforts fit into the big picture and how they are contributing to making the company’s vision a reality.

3. Empowerment. When people understand where the organization is heading, they are better able to make the right choices that help the organization successfully reach its destination.

4. Stability. People fear uncertainty. Without a single-minded, well-communicated vision, people in the organization are constantly being led to change directions. With a tangible vision in place and made public, people know that things won’t change from one day to the next, which creates in people a sense of achievement and meaning in their work. A vision statement is a commitment that leaders make to their employees on how they plan to lead them to success.

To develop a well-crafted vision, follow these six tips:

1. Understand the vision is the foundation for the success of the organization-and your own.

2. Align the vision with the company’s core values.

3. Solicit input from members of the organization, clients and other stakeholders or shareholders. A vision should emerge from the collective interests of all involved (Northouse, 2010).

4. Thing big! Where do you see the organization in five to 10 years (Barrow, Kaplan & Norton, 2008).

5. Create a vision that is aspirational, inspirational and measurable (Barrow, Kaplan & Norton, 2008).

6. Create a vision that can be easily understood by all and effectively communicated.

Having a vision for an organization is like having a compass on a hike. It provides the leader and his or her followers with a tool to see where their true north is and to stay their course. It enables leaders at all levels and their followers to make the right strategic, operational and tactical decisions that are aligned with the direction in which the organization wants to go.

In the Forex market, it is possible to make money by buying and selling currencies. To understand how to make money trading Forex, some basics of the forex market need to be understood. The Forex market is very similar to a stock market; the mechanics involved in Forex trade are very much comparable to those in the stock trading field. The objective of Forex trading is exchanging one currency for another in anticipation that price will raise, so that the currency bought will be at a higher value compared to the currency sold. Every two currencies involved in the trade are known as currency pairs.

It is easy to pick up how to make money trading forex if the investor is already familiar with stock trading. An exchange rate in the Forex trade is the ratio of the value of one currency with respect to another. For instance, USD/JPY exchange rate means how many US dollars can buy one Japanese Yen or vice versa.

It is essential to learn how to read a Forex quote to know how to make money trading forex. Currencies are quoted as pairs like USD/EUR or USD/GBP. This is because every forex transaction involves two currencies – buying one currency while selling another.

If a quote is given as GBP/USD = 1.5:

· The currency given first before the slash (/) is the Base currency

· The one to the right of the slash is the Counter or Quote currency.

One more terminology to understand how to make money trading Forex is Long/ Short. If an investor wants to buy, he has to wait for the base currency value to increase so that it can be sold at a higher price. In Forex trade jargon, it is called taking a ‘long position’. When investor wants to sell, the base currency value has to reduce so that it can be bought back at a lower price. This is known as taking a ‘short position’.

Forex robot is software that acts as a personal expert advisor in Forex trading. Their algorithms are built to pick the best currency pairs to trade and the right time for trading. All the user needs to do is set up a trade account and adjust parameters like currency, profit limit, stop loss limit etc. The Robot can be made to carry on trading 24 hours for five days a week when the Forex market is active.

Being able to choose the correct fish tank is very beneficial if you want to have a lasting relationship with any of your fish. Most errors are created by the underestimation of things involved in the simplest of freshwater aquarium setups, and cause unwanted side effects, wasting a lot of money in the long run if you’re not careful enough.

The perfect setup location

Choose a permanent location for your freshwater aquarium setup. As big as the fish tank is, you won’t really be able to move it freely around the house. The location that you are going to choose must also make all of the equipments needed very accessible. It also needs to be placed conveniently near to a water source.

Place the aquarium over a well-supported base

Place it over a base support that is very sturdy and can withstand the full weight of the tank with the water inside. If you don’t have anything like that in your house, then you may opt to purchase special, customized furniture for aquarium use.

No sunlight should enter the tank

Never place it where it could be hit by direct sunlight. Sunlight promotes algae growth, and believe me: you won’t like it when that green monster starts crawling all over your fish tank! Sunlight also causes the temperature of the water to rise, which could prove fatal to some delicate fish.

Don’t put the fish tank in “high-activity” areas

Don’t place the tank where there is always bustling activity or constant movement. Big organisms that go past and by the fish tank (in case you’re wondering, that’s us) can really stress out fish.

Place the fish tank at a well grounded area away from electric hazards

Even though all equipments should be near the tanks, you must also be wary of electrical lines around it. Make sure that they are placed at a safe location, away from where the water is usually located.

Fish tanks should be placed at a considerable height

They should be at a level where anyone can see them nicely. Having a good height is also useful, because it allows easy maintenance.

Large tanks for minimal maintenance

Choose a tank that is fairly large enough to accommodate the space needed, in case you want to add more fish later on. A larger tank also helps regulate the water chemistry, doing wonders for beginners who usually don’t have the ability to closely monitor these levels.

Large surface area tanks promote gas exchange

Largeness in size also accommodates enough space for the gas exchange cycle (it is a cycle where oxygen enters the water in exchange for the waste gases in the water). It is usually recommended to use tanks with more surface area than fish tanks with more depth, as this kind of tanks further promotes the gas exchange cycle.

The total real estate market in Guam is scheduled to reach $300 million. Overall sales went down last year, but with the construction buildup, the market is set to grow dramatically. In 2009, single-family homes were about $200,000.

There exist certain restrictions however on foreign property ownership. The people of Guam are U.S. citizens and Guam is a U.S. territory. People who are non-residents and haven’t applied for a green card can only buy one condo or house in their own names and have to be occupied by the owner.

The construction buildup is an agreement between Japan and the U.S. to relocate about 8,000 US marines and their dependents from Okinawa to Guam. This will cause huge infrastructure and construction opportunities in Guam, since the population is set to grow by 20%. This will mean more housing will be needed, as well as other structures, like hospitals, roads, bridges, shopping centers, and other places. Some of the ways that the housing market is impacted by the military presence are:

1. There are military personnel that live off base

2. Some military dependents either have to live off base, or want to

3. More housing is needed for construction workers

4. More housing will be needed for civilian workers

5. The construction and military buildup will give greater economic prospects to the island

Guam has a big rental market, about half the housing is occupied by renters. Guam is not bound by seasonal restrictions like other tourist destinations, so the number of rentals available is there all year long. The majority of the rental places are located in north Guam and the central area.

Some of the construction buildup that is set to occur in Guam is:

1. More living quarters

2. Barracks for workers

3. More hospitals

4. Bigger waste water treatment plant

5. New bridges and roadways

6. More schools and places for education

Those that work in construction will have great opportunities available to them. Most construction jobs will not require security clearance, and most can be done by civilians. The entire Guam infrastructure will need to be rebuilt, and new expansions will be done on Naval bases, Marine Corps, Coast guard and Army facilities. Those involved in commercial construction, distribution companies, manufacturing, or construction workers, will have easy pickings as the buildup comes underway.

Some of the jobs available in Guam are:

1. Engineers

2. Security people

3. Secretarial, administrative, and clerical staff

4. Operators of heavy construction equipment and crane operators

5. Medical people like nurses and doctors

6. Compliance, health and safety personnel

7. Communication and IT specialists

People involved in the buying and selling of real estate can benefit from the construction buildup.
