The BJ Opinion of AIG

brianjanket — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:59:33 +0000

We have all heard the stories of AIG and Obama’s reaction toward the events. AIG, in essence, wanted to give more money to the employees that put the company in detriment to start with. They planned to give bonuses to the executives after getting aid from the government. The question is: Is this action justified? The corporate executives seem to agree that it would increase consumer demand for products because they would spend the money in stores. The reality is that this may be true but it would be tax payers money going in the pockets of the individual and not the company overall. I feel that what Obama is doing is the correct action and is setting the right precedent for the future of corporations.

What is at stake now? Will AIG be in more detriment and fail to pull out of the recession that America is currently in? Will AIG fail without the support? The answer lies, atleast I believe, in the federal reserve. Consumers will come spend money and companies will reinvest in employees but it will take time.

Buying a phone = What to look for?

brianjanket — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:40:33 +0000

I no longer have my phone because it was either lost or stolen at Planet Fitness. I’m planning to purchase a new phone but what elements do people look at when choosing to purchase a new phone?

I have been looking at the Iphone as a possible option lately but the cost has made me think twice. Is the Iphone 3G worth the price? I think so because you can tap the phone to answer a call, it has a unique gaming system and flip screen options, a very unique internet that is available to you through wifi connection. You are able to get GPS, HTML, and email. If you are looking to use the phone for the internet then you should purchase the iphone. If your looking to purchase a phone for document access, then you should consider the Blackberry.

The blackberry allows access to a variety of files, such as powerpoint, microsoft word, ect. This option is not available on the Iphone and allows students or business professionals to access their documents, including mail, on the go. It’s less compatable when it comes to the internet but plays a key role in document access.

The Art of Professional Gaming

The articles references professional gaming. It has been posted by Brian Janket, but the true author is Eric Kawaguchi. Brian Janket takes no credibility for the quality of the content.

Gaming is no longer just a hobby but now a sport. eSport as they call it now is recognized globally. Taking ordinary people and making them recognized by the Online and Real World community not by their physical talents but by how they play a game. These “gamers” are now not only your sons or daughters who stay on their computer all the time just playing with friends from around the world, but now some very talented and exceptional people who make a living off of a simple game. Up to date there are many leagues and tournaments that ordinary people like me and you can go to. One such tournament is the CPL. The Cyberathlete Professional League was creatd June 26, 1997 by Angel Munoz who happened to have high hopes for this event. His high hopes soon became a multi-million dollar industry with sponsors such as Intel and nVidia which are recognized world wide. The CPL is an event where gamers with high hopes and big dreams go, with enough “bank” of course, to to show how good they are and see others play as well. This event is also a great way to talk with others from different parts of the globe. Of course with an event such as the CPL there must BE some professionals right? Right you are. Teams such as 3D and the Complexity Syndicate are professional teams that were once just a bunch of people with high hopes. These people are extremely talented and are recognized world wide. They compete in tournaments such as CAL and WCG. eSports is a widely growing community and I myself is happy to be a part of it.

The Art of Writing

brianjanket — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 18:20:55 +0000

Over the course of our life, we’re exposed to a diverse array of pertinent information that allows us to grow and prosper. We are bestowed with the opportunity to not merely exceed expectations, but excel in the fields that we choose. When progressing in our endeavors and interests, we seek to obtain information from mentors and teachers that can provide us with the very foundation that we need. During the college experience, teachers become the very mentors that are required for individual growth and prosperity. Students become exposed to the traditional learning environment, allowing them to enhance their knowledge from lectures. College allows students to take classes that they desire, instead of the high school experience that limits the classes that students are exposed to. The essence of the college experience is painting on a canvas.

The soft brush resembles the flow of a pen. In writing, the intricate words impose a mental picture that creates a desirable perspective to the reader. Every flow of paint, as it drips, creates a different image. It’s the responsibility of the writer to vindicate the reader from having to draw a large amount of assumptions. When painting, the artist must be careful about every stoke of the brush that hits the canvas, as it may have an undesirable outcome. If a student chooses the wrong word, much like if the wrong color or streak hits the masterpiece, the peace of work is limited and will never be at full potential. It’ll always be limited based on personal error. Students, like artists, dictate the standard for which the quality of work is done. An artist that wishes to convey a tree but only paints a line limits the potential of the painting, as a student limits their papers by the words that they choose or don’t choose to use.

In most cases, artists choose to plan the peace that they are doing. They must follow the steps that they know. Professional artists don’t draw the ears before they draw the outline of the face. In writing a paper and being involved in the classroom, a structure must occur that will allow for successful development, either for a paper or just by enhancing the learning experience. It’s the responsibility of the student and artist to keep structure and stability in the work that they create. Without structure, failure is inevitable. One example of this is that the teacher must convey a message, and they plan out their lecture period for the time period allotted for class. The student, in order to be successful, must take notes, fully organize an essay from the introduction to the conclusion, and make the most out of each lecture. In this case, the student is utilizing the resources available to them, such as a painter uses the different colors to convey the image.

Artists must endure a variety of criticism. The criticism, often times, enhances the work that is completed. It drives individuals to be better. While painting, an artist can only make assumptions under a premise that someone will like the work, and purchase it. Students, much like someone painting a picture, makes an assumption that the work is good enough, based on stipulations provided by the teacher. Those stipulations are a variety of rules and outlines that must be followed to meet the goal of getting a good grade on a paper. The teacher, much like a critic, provides insightful opinions that they feel need to be addressed.

Students, much like artists, are required to turn in their completed work for criticism. Artists go to auctions and other premier selling locations to trade in their work for revenue. Students, in return for their work, receive a grade that will determine their eligibility for the future. Much like a grade, the money received reflects the value of the work that was completed.

Building a Company

brianjanket — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:44:08 +0000

“Success is inevitable when failure is not an option.” This rather simplistic qoute directs the idea that if someone is invested in a company and has the right tools for success, then failure won’t occur. There are millions of companies and they all have unique characteristics about them. It’s vital to convey the message of the company to investors or atleast have a foundation to build from for the future.

Business Plan

In order to be successful, companies must draft some sort of business plan that will outline the key aspects of the company. Many people that want to start companies never complete them, because they confused about how to start. A solid business plan will build the very foundation that is needed and provide a successful start to the company. The business plan acts as a outline or guide to decision making. It’s also a means of communication to investors, partners, and other individuals that will help you progress the success of your company.

-Research

Market research is an essential element to drafting a business plan. Look at what is successful, what hasn’t been successful, market trends, demographics, and key elements that you believe sets your business apart from the competition. You must analyze and interpret the financial status of your business, and plan to fund accordingly. Most people, although not all, don’t make realistic projections. This causes a complete incorrect assumption and can leave the company in extreme detriment. You must do the research to find out profit margin of other companies or atleast where certain companies stand.

Develope goals that must be reached and look at specific marketing that the company will use to be successful. Without marketing, a company is unable to be successful. You must identify the target market, demographics, analyze competition, and look to market trends to dictate the path of the company. Look to excel in customer service, and utilize marketing tools that are available to you.

Develope a target market that you feel would be the best customer base. You can’t fully market to everyone, although we would like to think that this is the case. You must direct your attention to a specific age group or a specific direction to a customer base.

“The internet is a wealth of information,” says Fortini-Campbell. “Search on any topic and you will find websites, blogs and discussion rooms on everything imaginable.” (www.entrepreneur.com) The idea that one can utilize the resources available to them is key to success. Use them or allow your competition to use them. It’s your choice.

One of the things that i’ve learned about running a business is to be objective. Don’t allow people to tell you that you can’t be successful, and don’t allow a market to dictate your decisions. You must be responsible for your actions and actually get things done. Although it’s nice to come up with a multi-million dollar idea, it’s much harder to actually put the committment forth to complete it.

Increase Traffic and Revenue Growth

brianjanket — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:24:39 +0000

The internet has evolved from a growing market. In todays’ society, people are consumed by social networking websites, and websites that contain pertinent information related to their interests. It’s a growing market, and the trends dictate the success of online websites. How can you expand the user base or traffic to your website? It’s should be your objective to utilize the resources available to you. You don’t have to spend money to expand the user base.

Starting a website may require you to spend money on a website developer, hosting, or other elements that are needed to keep the website maintained. If your not looking for a top looking website, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to launch a website. You can check out the following links that will allow you to set up a website for yourself, without any major costs:

www.blogger.com

www.wordpress.com

This is one of the most efficient methods of driving traffic and launch a website that the user can post information pertaining to their interest.

http://members.freewebs.com/

http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/

Before you jump to wanting to make money, you must have a direct plan on what you would like the website to be about. Is it a website that provides a service that people will use. When you plan the website out, you must direct your attention to the marketing aspects of the company. Is there a need for the website or a desire for people to view the website? What does the website offer users? If you didn’t own the website, would you be someone that would find the website interesting or useful? You must also be sure that there is no copyright, trademark, or legal infringement from making the website. If there is, this must be addressed to protect you from legal obligations.

One method is to use meta-tags. Use http://www.spotrunner.com/search101/?mcid=vbm003 (Search Engine Optimization) to find key words.

Banner programs

http://www.websponsors.com/ : This website has one of the highest payout rates for a pay-per-click program. www.google.com/adsense

Best of luck and i’ll be posting a lot more information pertaining to internet marketing and tips on how to start a successful company.
