How to get a loan without a Bank



The internet has brought about many changes to our lives. Not least is the fact that you can now do your banking 24 hrs per day via the internet. At the same time you can also get a better savings rate or a loan. Traditionally to get a loan you went to the bank. Now adays it is possible to get a loan from people in your community, from people you dont know, and without the use of a bank.

The concept of social lending via the internet began with the establisnment of ZOPA. ZOPA is an accronym for Zone of Possible Agreement. The Zone is a a concept that in simple terms, refers to an agreed range of offers at various interest rates and amounts, equal an agreement to lend. Complicated, yes, but dont worry too much about it. Let me explain.



Miss Borrower wants to borrow £5000. She uses a social lender. The social lender credit checks and grades Miss Borrower. If ok, she is allowed to advertise that she wants to borrow. The website, does not lend her the money, we do. Individuals are able to offer lump sums at differeing interest rates. Once the £5000 is raised, (maybe in lots of £10), bidders can continue to offer lending bids. However, now the loan is fully subscribed, so in order to lend, lenders need to undercut other lenders to stay in the running. This has the effect of reducing the overall APR to the borrower. Once the auction reaches timeout, all those within the funding bands get to lend their money.

As of today there are a number of social lending websites. The largest and most established is Zopa. If you are looking to borrow money, and dont want to use a bank, look at a social lender. Click here to go through to Zopa.

EI42 – The future for Cashback Websites?



EI42 is a novel and interesting idea that combines the popularity of a cashback website with the potential to develop a second income through the power of network marketing.  So how does it work and how can you make a passive income.

EI42 makes use of affiliate internet advertising.  For those of you not familiar with affiliate advertising the concept is simple.  Advertisers need to maximise their potential profits by maximising the potential of the internet.  However with literally millions of websites how do you decide upon the best ones to advertise.  The key is pay per click or PPC.  Essentially most adverts on the majority of websites are displayed for free.  Income is derived from a commission paid by the advertiser on confirmation of a specific action, such as a completed referal form or a sale.  This is known as affiliate marketing.

In recent years affiliate marketing has led to the emergence of cashback websites that share a percentage of the commission with their registered users.  The problem is that commissions very between cashback websites and not every website has the same advertisers displaying their adds.  This means that the users often register with many cashback providers, who will normally only pay a cashback after a certain minimum cashback level has been reached.  For example a user might have to spend £2500 to get to the threshold of £25 at a cashback level of one per cent.  Only last month I received a cashback check from a website that I joined six year ago for £30.

EI42 works differently.  Cashback is paid to the registered users of the sites as normal, but for those interested in making an online income, there is the potential to receive cashback by refering other users to the website.  In return for the referals, the original referer can earn a commission  on the purchases made by their referals.

Referal commission is paid on purchases made by your referals and is paid to seven levels, meaning that you can earn from a referal, made from a referal, from a referal, as the network grows to the power of seven.  So its possible to earn a small commission from someone unknown to you.  However don’t be fooled.  There are no guarentees and the only way a network will grow substantially will be through hard work!

Anyone can register on EI42 and obtain the benefits of the cashback for free, so whats the catch.  Very little it would appear.  As per other cashback sites there is a minimum threshold to trigger a repayment, currently £25, and of course you only make cashback if you buy from the websites, or in the case of referals if they submit a form or make a purchase.  If cashback rates are not competitive users are likely to use better paying cashback websites.  At the same time the concept of network marketing often scares people, whilst their is always the suspicion of whats the catch?

Telecom plus Business opportunities

General

• Over the last 10 years Telecom plus has grown from just an idea into a company with a turnover of over £278 million and whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange. A track record second to none. This phenomenal growth in turnover and profits has been achieved by word of mouth “referral marketing”. The question is: What share of this could you earn for yourself? The explosion in growth that Telecom plus is experiencing right now is just the beginning. It is said that the key to success is not necessarily being in the right place at the right time, but recognising that you are in the right place at the time, and not four years later with hindsight.

Telecom plus PLC is a British, publicly quoted company promoted to the FTSE 250 on the London Stock Market in December 2008. The corporate management team, headed by Chief Executive Charles Wigoder, has been responsible for the phenomenal growth of the company over the last 10 years. Charles’s previous successes prior to joining Telecom plus include the spectacularly successful growth of Peoples Phone which he launched in 1990 and which grew to 400,000 customers, which at the time represented 10% of the UK mobile phone market prior to its purchase by Vodafone. He is now applying those same skills to Telecom plus PLC, which operates the Utility Warehouse Discount Club, with breathtaking results. Telecom plus is extremely successful and its profits are growing spectacularly every year. It also boasts an exceptionally strong balance sheet with over £25m of cash and no debt, providing confidence that this business really is here to stay.

But with less than 1% of UK households currently using their services, you needn’t worry about being too late to join.

Telecom plus operates a Share Option scheme to act as an incentive for its Distributors. Share Options are a ‘risk-free’ way for you to share in the future growth and financial success of the company. The Options issued so far have been worth a staggering £6 million, creating huge gains for many Distributors, and the intention is for the company to make further allocations in the future.
