credit card processing

I recently began my own business on the Internet, Beaded Jewelry. With the only real costs being the beads, my time of course and the charge for the monthly hosting its been pretty easy to stay open so to speak. I can only imagine what this economy is doing to the B & B. When you consider you will have utility costs, payments to employees and the health coverage ( because you just can not take that away) it must be a nightmare.

I think there are ways to not only keep your business afloat and also grow it, even while the economy does its death dance. You can make cuts such as shorter hours, this will cut down on payroll and utilities. You can also put your stock on line, which is a 24 hour store without any employees except you. Even advertising can be done cheap or even free with the use of forums and free listing sites such as Craig’s list. I have found Craig’s list to be a real help to me in my work both with this blog and the other blog I own about beaded Jewelry.

Some folks may have larger businesses and will have to think about getting a loan to stay going, and that can still be done with some thought into the details. Make sure you go to SBA and ask to speak to a counselor who can help you trim line your business, look over your projections for the next few months and help you find any government help that may be available before you go to the bank.If you do place your business on line you will want to seriously consider making sure your website is built so that you can accept credit card payments. This will allow the customer to buy at their convenience and it is easier than you think to getcredit card processing placed and working on your website. What are the benefits of of being able to process credit cards on your website? Well the person who comes to purchase a item you have listed will not want to use a bank draft on line, it is just a bit too scary. With a credit card purchase, one knows the money has been accepted right away and with credit card purchases your customer has a great deal of protection on the purchase made. This is very good for you and for your customer. Having credit card processing on the web site will also allow you to be free to work on other things, you do not have to baby sit the process.

If getting a loan or placing credit card processing on your website or business is where you feel you would be best served, check out Online Check for all you will need to know about loans and credit card use on your website. They will help you get a no hassle loan fast.

So I was watching VH1 the other morning (reasons for a true Rock Fan to be watching VH1? 5 am and sick of CNN) and watch the show 40 Greatest Metal Songs with Sebastian Back as Show Host. Note for the ladies, he still looks nice…… very nice.

I think I caught the show at number 30 something. I have huge issues with who they placed in each slot and decided to make my own list, a shorter one but better. Do you remember Head Bangers Ball, I mean when it was originally on? I lived for Saturday evenings, I would get my kids so tired by running them around the park a gazillion times. They would be ready for bed by 9 or so, and then I was free! But sadly, that was when MTV actually was a great station to watch, too bad they had to go and conform the way they did.

So without any further fanfare……… the ten greatest Metal Songs of all time ~

10. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap ~

Why this song in number 10? Because I cut out all the damned fluff VH1 decided to line that show with and well, some one had to be in this slot.

9. Metallica – Enter The Sandman ~

I loved this album, to me Metallica came across as philosophers almost. I would listen so intently to each song and place it into events in my life.

7. Quite Riot – Mental Health ~

Definitely a song I listened to just to have fun. Some tunes do not have to be deep just head banging, am I right?

6. AC/DC – Back in Black ~

Beats that make u feel like you could beat up the Hulk, nuff said.

5. Judas Priest – Metal Gods ~

4. Metallica ~ My Friend of Misery ~

If asked what song off Metallicas Black Album was the all time best ( and it would be hard to choose just one) I would have to say My Friend of Misery. Check out the words ~

You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what youve heard
You youre smothered in tragedy
Youre out to save the world

3. Scorpions – Animal Magnetism ~

While I could have chosen many of thier songs, this one opens with the most deliousous of sounds which is my love in all things metal, how the song opens…. does it pump through my blood and make me feel unreal?

2. Dio – Rainbow In The Dark ~

1. Ozzy – Crazy train ~
Okay here VH1 and I totally disagree, the Oz man takes the cake for metal anything each and every time. I bow to the King of Metal.
And I have to say this, Ozzy is the happiest man I have ever seen and I loved watching his show.:-)

And while I could not fit it into the 10 best, this song is just a plain cool memory of my early days of Rocking………. so here ya go.

So there you have it, my choices for the best of Metal. I hope everyone had a great day today, with lots of kids running around screaming in ecstasy as all mine were. It is not Christmas morning with out squeals of happiness from the kids.
