MoneyLoans.com Launches 24-Hour Call Center

MoneyLoans.com Launches 24-Hour Call Center

MoneyLoans

(PRWEB) May 16, 2012

MoneyLoans.com, a leader in connecting consumers with no-hassle short-term loans, announces the launch of its new “Contact Us” page featuring a loan application available 24/7 by telephone. The new call center makes it even easier for working households to get access to money loans, even when they don’t have access to a computer or smartphone. The call center is staffed by loan professionals, all of whom are ready to help borrowers get the best rates and terms.

“Many borrowers are still more comfortable talking to a real person than filling out an online application,” said company spokesperson Steve Shelley. “The new ‘Contact Us’ page and call center make it possible to have a loan professional walk you through the process and answer any questions along the way.”

MoneyLoans.com is not a lender; rather, the company specializes in connecting borrowers to its proprietary network of loan providers. The requirements are kept inclusive — prospective borrowers need only meet a few simple criteria to gain access to money loans:

         Be at least 18 years old.
        Have an income of at least $ 1,000/month after taxes.
        Have a checking account in your name.
        Have a valid email address and telephone number.
        Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
        Be employed for at least 90 days consecutively.

Most applicants can be pre-approved for a loan of $ 100 – $ 1,500 in just minutes. And because the borrower’s application is presented to an entire network of reputable lenders, the consumer benefits from increased competition.

“It’s easy to use to the telephone application,” Shelley continued. “We know people don’t have a lot of time to fill out forms, so we kept the interaction simple. Basically, it’s a question of how much do you want, and where do we send the funds?”

MoneyLoans.com does not require borrowers to present a credit score to be pre-approved for a loan. In fact, the company has built its business on helping consumers of all backgrounds get access to emergency funds, regardless of whether or not they possess a polished credit history.

Lenders in the company’s extensive network can deposit cash into the borrower’s account within one business day — a speed that banks and credit unions can only dream of.

Visitors to MoneyLoans.com can easily access the new 24-hour loan application by clicking “Contact Us” from any page on the site, then just dialing the phone number provided.

Serving the Masses: How MyTennisLessons is Attempting to Revolutionize the Tennis Industry

Serving the Masses: How MyTennisLessons is Attempting to Revolutionize the Tennis Industry

MyTennisLessons, becoming a nationwide brand.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

What started out as teaching summer tennis lessons for some extra cash, has turned into a nationwide company that manages over 80 tennis instructors in 15 different markets. In the summer of 2011 while still living in Maryland, Andrew Marcus Founder and CEO of MyTennisLessons.com, split time between teaching lessons himself and managing about 20 local instructors under the name DC Tennis Pros. Today, having relocated to Austin TX, Marcus and his company MyTennisLessons are proving to be one of the most efficient providers of tennis lessons.

MyTennisLessons allows players of all ages and skill levels to choose from a selection of qualified tennis coaches in their area, by simply inputting their zip code. The customer is then given customizable options, such as selecting a discounted lesson package, upon choosing an instructor. Further options include selecting the nearest court location, specific lesson type (private tennis lessons, group lessons, etc.), as well as a convenient date and time.

Early on MyTennisLessons recognized that there was a demand for tennis lessons at local courts that were affordable, convenient, and most importantly, enjoyable. “Customers appreciate the value of being able to take a tennis lesson at a conveniently located court with an instructor that is reliable and prescreened” says Marcus. “No one wants to sift through dozens of unreliable sites such as Craigslist for a random instructor. We’re a one stop shop for all of your tennis lesson needs”

Customers however, are not the only party taking advantage of MyTennisLessons’ services. Before MyTennisLessons if you were looking to become a tennis instructor, you were resigned to traditional forms of advertising such as word or mouth, limiting your reach. MyTennisLessons understood that it was difficult for a tennis coach to separate themselves from the pack, especially since many instructors have full time jobs and don’t have time to adequately advertise or market themselves.

MyTennisLessons takes care of an instructors advertising, marketing, online billing, and customer service needs. By providing these services, MyTennisLessons allows instructors to focus on what they do best, teach tennis lessons.

Clayton Branche, who gives tennis lessons in DC with MyTennisLessons and is a current student at John Hopkins University, appreciates the flexibility MyTennisLessons allows him. “The personalized scheduling is very appealing because I get the benefit of not having to sacrifice any of my academic or professional goals and I still get the opportunity to make some money” explains Branche. MyTennisLessons’ contracted instructors range from current college players and students like Branche, to former touring professionals trying to support a family. The personal aspect of the business is not lost on Marcus. “Many of our instructors have full time jobs at an office or tennis club, but are grateful for the additional business we are able to get them during their free time”

Many instructors, first with DC Tennis Pros and now with MyTennisLessons, have taken full advantage of the chance to supplement their income, provided by Marcus and his team. “The extra money I have made from teaching tennis lessons has been a great way to augment my income” claims Branche, “Although I work other jobs to make money to cover my basic (non-college) expenses, the money I get from tennis usually goes towards allowing me to have the flexibility enjoy weekend outings with my friends”

Whether providing tennis lessons in Los Angeles, Honolulu, or Miami, Marcus and MyTennisLessons are hoping to have a similar nationwide impact on the lives of not only tennis instructors, but the thousands of tennis enthusiasts living in the US. “Even though we are working towards becoming a nationally recognized brand, on a more basic level we enjoy connecting with others who are as passionate about tennis as we are.”

What Mom Really Wants For Mother’s Day!

What Mom Really Wants For Mother’s Day!

Donations collected after Doug Krugman cleaned out his Mother’s basement.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 10, 2012

WebThriftStore, the first online thrift store platform for charities, today encouraged children of all ages to give their mothers the gift all mothers have been asking for, for years: “Clean Up Your Stuff!”

As everyone scrambles to buy that special mom the perfect gift, why not give Mom what she has asked for countless times? Many not living with their mothers are still sharing space with them: the birds have flown, but the nest is not empty! What every mom would really like for Mother’s Day is to have her space back: a clutter-free basement, attic, garage or extra bedroom. And what mother wouldn’t be proud of a child who finally cleans out that spare space and donates good things to charity in her honor at WebThriftStore?

Isn’t it time to take care of all that forgotten clutter in Mom’s house? Doing so costs nothing, and donating it even results in a tax break. Plus, mothers hate when their children throw away good stuff. Here is a chance for all children to show their mothers how well they were raised: by cleaning, donating good stuff, and encouraging re-use—not throwing away good stuff and turning it into refuse.

Doug Krugman, WebThriftStore Founder and CEO, is leading the charge. This past weekend, Doug visited his mom on the East Coast and spent hours in her basement reliving memories and collecting items to post on WebThriftStore. “It felt great to let go of some of my treasured items that haven’t seen the light of day in many years. I know that they will become treasured ‘finds’ for someone else, and that I’ll be helping charity in the process.”

Krugman finally came to terms with the reality that, after 15 years of trying, he’s not going to convince his wife Lynn to let him setup his audiophile system in their apartment. That means he’ll never set up the Oracle turntable for which he paid what seemed like an astronomical sum, and he’ll never listen to his old records again. Both the turntable and some precious vinyl (from esoteric labels like Chesky Records, Sheffield Labs, Clean Cuts and Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab) are listed on WebThriftStore at prices that are steals for collectors. Since he’s leaving that world behind, Doug just wants an easy, hassle-free way to see that they go to someone who will be thrilled to have them, and that the money will go to a good charity.

Krugman has also listed a pair of KEF 103.2 speakers, some art pieces picked up in his travels, college books, the coolest Sony Walkman ever made, and beautiful hand-painted children’s furniture from artist Jane Keltner. His mother is very happy to be getting her basement back.

WebThriftStore enables any registered charity to create an online thrift store to which supporters can list items for sale to benefit the charity—without having to pick up the items, or having supporters drop them off, forcing the charity staff to fill up their own moms’ basements, spare bedrooms, and attics. With an estimated $ 700 billion of stuff cluttering homes throughout the U.S., WebThriftStore offers an easy way to support non-profit organizations, by creating an online thrift store where supporters can shop and donate. Prices on WebThriftStore are set by donors, and once items are sold, donors receive acknowledgment letters to substantiate 100 percent of their value as charitable contributions for tax purposes. Donors also receive free, prepaid mailing labels online, to print and affix to packages shipped for free via The United States Postal Service, or they can arrange local delivery of purchases directly with buyers. All purchases are backed by WebThriftStore’s 30-Day Buyer Assurance Guarantee.

WebThriftStore encourages all good children to clean out the basements, attics, garages, and extra bedrooms in their mothers’ homes this weekend. Remember: roses last a week or two, and mom’s doctor says she shouldn’t eat so much chocolate anymore, but a good child is a joy forever. WebThriftStore also invites friends to share stories and photos of cleaning up for Mother’s Day on the WebThriftStore Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/WebThriftStore

WebThriftStore features a variety of newly posted items on a daily basis that can serve as the perfect gift for Mom, or for everyday shopping. Shop, donate, and help support charities this Mother’s Day.

ABOUT WEBTHRIFTSTORE

WebThriftStore enables any registered charity to create an online thrift store to which supporters, from the comfort of their homes, can list items for sale to benefit the charity. Buyers can shop for great bargains knowing that their payment goes to charity and all items carry a 30-Day Buyer Assurance Guarantee. Donors receive a tax receipt for 100 percent of the value of their item, prepaid shipping labels, free shipping supplies and free pickup from the United States Postal Service (USPS). Any registered 501(c)(3) charity can partner with WebThriftStore to open its own dedicated online store, with no up-front fees or subscription fees. Founded in 2010 by Doug Krugman, an experienced company builder with deep technical, financial and business skills, the business is headquartered in New York City.

U.S. Preventive Medicine® Health & Fitness App to Integrate with Withings WiFi Body Scale

Jacksonville, FL and Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Using this wireless technology, the Withings scale will seamlessly integrate with the Macaw app.

The Withings WiFi Body Scale is the world’s first WiFi-connected personal weight scale, which automatically records the user’s body weight, lean and fat mass, and calculated body mass index (BMI) and automatically integrates that data with Macaw. Users of the mobile app will have a complete picture of their health, be able to track fluctuations in in the scale measurements over time, and track healthy activities and diet that correspond to those weight fluctuations.

“We developed our WiFi Scale knowing that monitoring your weight on a daily basis is the key to reaching and maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” said Withings Co-Founder Cedric Hutchings. “By partnering with U.S Preventive Medicine, our scale makes the tracking of weight for their users easy in an effort to support their global initiative in preventive health.”

About Macaw™

Unlike other available health and fitness apps, Macaw is based on the clinical science of preventive medicine and is universally designed for people who exercise regularly as well as those who are novices when it comes to physical activity. By leveraging Qualcomm Life’s expertise in wireless technology, Macaw has been able to transform a smartphone into the ultimate personal health monitor, connecting an individual’s health apps and wireless devices for tracking weight, fitness, overall activity and biometrics – including pedometers, glucose meters, activity armbands, scales, labs, sleep managers, mobile weight loss apps and blood pressure cuffs – into a single app for complete tracking. Macaw currently allows integration with the Fitlinxx Actiped+ all-day activity monitor, and WorkSmart Labs’ weight loss and fitness app Noom Weight Loss and Withings WiFi Body Scale. Macaw users are able to track their physical activity, nutrition, progress and health knowledge while engaging in games that unlock prizes.

An Englishman’s (Detached) Home (With Swimming Pool) Is His Castle

An Englishman’s (Detached) Home (With Swimming Pool) Is His Castle

UK (PRWEB UK) 16 May 2012

The UK’s dream home is a 3,800 sq ft detached house by the sea, with a swimming pool, according to research by home insurance provider, swiftcover.com.

The research discovered that although a detached home is ‘the dream’ property type for more than half (55 per cent) of UK homeowners, a cottage (15 per cent) and even a bungalow (13 per cent) made up the top three ‘most wanted’. Six per cent see their dream home as being a castle.

For almost half (46 per cent), the coast is the location of choice, followed by the countryside for one in four (26 per cent). Age certainly influenced the location of the perfect pad with the majority (51 per cent) of those aged over 54 wishing for a seaside location, whereas the youngsters (18 to 24 yr olds) saw their dream pad in a town or city centre (14 per cent) – more than any other age group.

Despite having a firm idea of what their perfect home would look like, less than half (41 per cent) expected to be able to afford it at some stage in their life; however, those determined to fulfil their goal believe that they’ll do so by the time they turn 44 years old. Just two per cent said they’d have it by the time they turned 30 years old.

James Barclay, home insurance underwriting manager at swiftcover.com said: “A detached house by the sea with four or five bedrooms is the UK’s perfect pad. Having goals and aspirations is wonderful but it’s such a shame that our property dreams are simply out of reach for the majority of us.”

swiftcover.com’s own desk research went on to reveal the cost of the UK’s dream home – analysing the data obtained from the above research i.e. a detached, four bedroom house with a private swimming pool, alongside the price of existing houses matching this description currently on the property market – to be in the region of £1.5m.

Accompanying the research, calculations revealed that with a down payment of a third on the £1.5m perfect house, the mortgage equates to £9,376.67 a month (1) over 11 years – assuming the person was a first time buyer at 30 years old and acquires their perfect home at 44 years old. This would require a household income of £23,441.68 a month, or £281,300 a year (2) – £140,650 each person, considering a couple would be likely to be paying the bill.

Brits’ perfect pads weren’t confined to a particular size, location or type but these perfect pads contained a few ‘must have’ entertainment rooms. A swimming pool was the biggest splash with almost half (43 per cent) citing one as a must have for their dream home. A cinema room (30 per cent) and games room (27 per cent) was also high on the list for many. Those with virtual billions demanded riding stables (eight per cent) and a golf course (three per cent) to accompany their four bed detached house by the sea.

James Barclay continued, “Whether it’s a £1.5m dream home or a slightly more realistically priced property, movinghouse is always a huge decision and probably the most money you will ever spend. A house is an enormous investment and requires some serious thought but taking care of it once you own it is also vitally important. Budgeting for adequate home insurance cover is extremely important.”

Home insurance is a vital part of all homeowners needs. Not only is buildings insurance a necessity when moving house, the larger a house is the more likely it is to need regular upkeep and care.

Furthermore, you should also check that your contents in your home are adequately insured and that your valuables limits within your home insurance policy are sufficient.

Until mid June, swiftcover.com home insurance is offering Home Assistance at 50 per cent discount. Home Assistance provides cover in the event of an emergency in the home, such as blocked drains, burst pipes and broken boilers.

In addition to this, customers can also get up to 25 per cent discount when buildings and contents insurance are bought together.

Emphasis on Fresh Content Remains as Google Updates Its Algorithm with 53 New Changes

Emphasis on Fresh Content Remains as Google Updates Its Algorithm with 53 New Changes

James Schramko – Internet Marketing Expert

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) May 14, 2012

After the reign of Panda, Penguin is now taking its turn. Things have certainly been kept hopping in the search engine optimization industry as Google, the Internet’s premier search engine and general overlord, maintains a running stream of algorithm changes endearingly represented by cute wildlife creatures. The most recent update has website owners and webmasters minding 53 changes to the algorithm. To help its customers understand how the changes impact the SEO status quo, quality content creation and distribution company SEOPartner recently released a news video with owner and top online marketing authority James Schramko explaining the difference the changes created and offering tips on how to protect against Google Penguin.

“It’s been another week of Penguin, so we’ve had a lot more chance to see what’s going on,” states Schramko in the video. He reports that he and his team went through SEOPartner’s customer results and analyzed them. Their findings netted them the following figures: “48% of our customers have been maintaining their already good rankings, 31% have improved substantially with the recent Penguin updates, and 21% of our customer base looks like they have had some sort of impact from Penguin.”

Schramko suggests that customer websites that are doing well can credit fresh content, good site structure, and getting a broad mix of anchor text for their good rankings. In the meantime, he’s asking the customers whose websites were negatively affected by Penguin for additional or secondary keywords. “If we haven’t asked you, it means that we’ve already gone and researched what your additional or secondary words are, and we’re making sure that not only are we targeting the phrases that you asked us to target but we’re also sending you links for related phrases,” Schramko explains. To find out related phrases, people can go to Google and search their keywords; the related phrases will be indicated at the bottom of the page.

Schramko offers this assurance, “We’re making sure that we get you a broad mix of links so that your site is not going to get Penguin-slapped or ‘Penguinated’.” The new SEOPartner forms will actually already ask for secondary or additional related phrases. According to the SEOPartner chief, to do SEO correctly these days, websites should have a collection of related phrases lifting their results. There should be focus on the overall impact of getting good search rankings for a related set of phrases.

Schramko cites SEMRush and Google Analytics as recommended tools to use to find out related phrases. With SEMRush, webmasters can see what other phrases their sites are ranking for beyond the first page. With Google Analytics, they can see what phrases are bringing traffic to their account. “Google Webmaster Tools recently updated their reporting to show you the search traffic for your phrases, and that is a good place to figure out what your site is all about and what Google thinks it’s all about,” shares the web marketing master.

“One of our packages really focuses on getting a bunch of different links, up to 10 different links. I suggest that you actually maximize that,” asserts Schramko. “Go broad. Get 10 different links rather than ten times 1 link. If you’re looking to improve the linkjuice of your site and to get rankings across the board, I’m suggesting go a little broader these days and focus on the phrases that bring you money, but also the related phrases that prop those phrases up.”

He offers his main tip for the week, “Install a heatmap on your website.” He recommends website optimizers Crazy Egg and Click Tail, “They will give you a heatmap. It shows you where people are clicking on your sites so you can start optimizing your pages for better conversions because if you can double your conversions, that is the same effect as doubling your traffic.”

Dropbox vs Google Drive. Score 1-0

Dropbox vs Google Drive. Score 1-0

ScaredBox

(PRWEB) May 11, 2012

Online backups have been allowing people to store files, whether domestic or corporate, offsite since 2008. People can save data on other devices, of course, such as CD or memory stick, (and, before these were developed, floppy disk) but these are devices that can get damaged or lost. Computers, especially laptops, can be lost or stolen, and they can also be corrupted or damaged by fire or flood, so important documents and other files need to be kept safe but available. However, the devices that are used for backing up also need to be kept safe; many people back up their data on to, say, a CD, only to leave the CD in the vicinity of the computer itself; even kept in the same house could prove disastrous should the house catch fire or suffer a burglary. Another more reliable way was needed, but one that was safe, secure, efficient, and easy to use.

Dropbox created the concept of online backups, having recognised the demand for such a service before anyone else had even thought it was possible; the system it developed eased its users’ file storage and safety worries, and soon picked up a respectable fan base. Indeed, many of its users are happy with the system that Dropbox provides for them and, if questioned, would be reluctant to change; human nature being what it is, people are willing to put a lot of research into something new but, once they have made their decision, all they then want is to be reassured by it. Today, though, advances in technology move at break-neck speed, and what seems ideal one day can look distinctly outdated the next; online backups are no exception to this, and Dropbox can no longer take its users for granted.

Online backup solutions are not only proliferating, each new one is being developed with a firm eye on the competition. The one that offers the most for the least amount of outlay, will be the one that takes centre stage. Even so, no online backup service today can afford to sit back and relax.

New services are being launched all the time, and that place at the top of the online backup tree is continually there for the taking. While Dropbox may have started the idea, and collected many followers as it evolved, other pretenders to the throne have not been far behind; now, some of them have caught up, and are poised to take them down.

Google Drive, launched in April this year, is rapidly taking the spotlight away from Dropbox. In the Which? Text Daily report of 25 April, Google Drive is described as ‘Google’s Dropbox Killer’ a title that should strike fear into the heart of Dropbox implying, as it does, the demise of Dropbox itself.

What matters to potential users:

Online Storage Capacity:

Dropbox and Google Drive offer the same basic service but with some notable differences, not least the amount of file storage capacity. Dropbox’s free 2GB, compared to Google Drive’s 5GB, also free, looks mean. Even Google Drive’s paid-for storage offers greater value for money. Dropbox really needs to increase the amount of storage it provides.

Pricing:

Prices vary depending on the plan chosen by the user but, overall, Dropbox’s paid-for options are dearer than Google Drive’s, and offer less storage. As time goes on, file storage capacity will be one of the over-riding priorities for potential online backup users when they are deciding which system to use. Dropbox needs to make this one of their priorities, too.

Many of Dropbox’s users are fiercely loyal to its service, although this probably has more to do with the fact that they are used to how it works, than for any other reason. Most people prefer to stay with something they know, but this loyalty cannot be taken for granted. Complacency has destroyed many a previously-thriving corporation, so an awareness of what is going on in the wider world is essential.

It would be a good idea right now for Dropbox to wake up and take a good look outside its own bubble. OK, it did command the top spot, and so it deserved to; after all, online backups is Dropbox’s baby but, to avoid getting left behind, it needs to up its game, starting today.

Working from home

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 13 May 2012

The Movers and Shakers of Flexible Working

From flexible part-time working options such as taking surveys online and in-home product testing to freelance writing jobs, business blogging and making money from homemade crafts, the options for the home worker are widening significantly. With an estimated official figure of 4.14 million people self employed in the UK, is it any wonder that they find themselves bombarded with questions about how they’ve become so successful in today’s financial climate?

The Accidental Entrepreneur

As home working has seemingly now past its infancy and developed rapidly, one of the main questions arising from its popularity surge is the perceived feeling of isolation that comes as a result of being at home all day and missing out on interaction with fellow workers. Who do you chat with during the day? Well, most home-workers will tell you that it’s a breath of fresh air to work in the quieter setting of their own homes, whilst others will wax lyrical about the rise in their productivity levels since they left the traditional working environment. There are also numerous stories of how people have become very successful in running a business from their own home, and in particular, how their success is partly owed to the downturn of the economy and the opportunities that presented themselves as a result.

The Largest Work from Home Community in the UK

For anyone seriously thinking about researching the prospect of a work from home job, you will find a wealth of information, as well as a plethora of ideas, on the internet. Carrying out a search on the internet will provide you with an extensive list of options. That said, nobody wants to spend time reading through endless articles that seem to go nowhere and give no real information about what you can expect from a working from home career.

WorkFromHomeJobs.tvis an invaluable source of information for the seasoned home worker, bringing the latest information to home workers, freelancers and home business owners alike. The site has several sections, with each section dedicated to answering some of the most common questions that present themselves to those wishing to take the leap into home working. It would be easy to get bogged down in too much detail, but Workfromhomejobs.tv break things down into manageable sized chunks, offering genuine and supportive advice to anyone with concerns about how to get started. Some of the sections offering inspiration and advice are:

How to get blogging and earn money from your blog.
How to make money from selling your crafts.
Tips on seasonal jobs you can do from home.
Advice on how to set up an efficient running home office.
Tips on the best tools for success.

As well as the above, Workfromhomejobs.tv have recently added a welcome new section for parents taking the leap into working from home, and the website owners have gone to great lengths to provide an impressive overview of the many different home working situations that can be achieved. In fact, the stay at home mums for whom work and career were a large part of their lives before children, could find the inspiration they need from the Interview of the Month section of the website, where Debbie O’Connor, Motivating Mum has outlined her thoughts and insights into how she has become successful in her efforts.

Workfromhomejobs.tv have created a vibrant and buzzing community whose collective efforts are synonymous with achievement in the arena of work from home careers, and if finding the answers to all of your questions isn’t enough, the website owners are currently running a photo competition in which you could win a fantastic ergonomic chair. So many home workers find it difficult to make the best choices of equipment when setting up their own home office and choosing the right chair is one of the most important things to get absolutely right. Home workers from all over the UK are sending their home office photos to the Workfromhomejobs.tv Facebook page in the hope of winning the competition, and there’s still time to enter.

Figures Look Set to Rise – Where do you see Work from Home Jobs in 5 Years Time?

The work from home job has been instrumental in bringing about significant changes to the ways in which people work. The birth of flexitime was a welcome relief to many, and is still somewhat fresh in most peoples’ minds. However, flexitime came with its own set of rules which simply don’t fit with the needs and wants of working people today. The work from home community is proof that people not only want more from their family life, they want more from their working life too. Striving for a satisfactory work/life balance in a traditional work setting feels completely unattainable to many people – particularly as some employers expect to maintain high levels of productivity with a substantial decrease in employee numbers, meaning longer working days. Add to that the worry of whether or not you feel secure in your job, and there’s the motivation to dig deep and rely on your own resources. The tools available are right there under your nose – what are you waiting for?

RockStar Radio Network Launches on November 28, 2011 Featuring the World?s Best Radio Shows on the Internet

RockStar Radio Network Launches on November 28, 2011 Featuring the World’s Best Radio Shows on the Internet

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 22, 2011

Craig Duswalt, former personal manager for Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses, and currently a speaker, author and creator of the RockStar System For Success, and the popular RockStar Marketing BootCamps, will launch his much-anticipated RockStar Radio Network on November 28, 2011 at http://www.RockStarRadioNetwork.com.

As a speaker, Craig Duswalt teaches regular people how to become “RockStars” in their industry. His very popular radio show, RockTalk with Craig Duswalt had such great success that Craig decided to start his own radio network, so thousands of other entrepreneurs could get their message out to the masses very easily.

“I truly feel that Internet Radio is an easy, and quite amazing tool to get your message out to a huge audience. Not only do a large number of fans listen to the live broadcasts, but thousands of people download our Podcasts every day on iTunes,” states Craig Duswalt. “If you can get your message on iTunes, you will have immediate success in your business, and the RockStar Radio Network provides you with a presence on iTunes.”

Craig’s background includes touring with Guns N’ Roses, as Axl Rose’s personal manager, and Air Supply, as the band’s personal assistant.

On stages across America, Craig shares numerous stories of his days with Guns N’ Roses and Air Supply, and behind-the-scenes encounters with some of the biggest names in entertainment; people like Bono, Metallica, Queen, Kurt Cobain, Steven Tyler, Liz Taylor, Liza Minnelli, George Michael, U2, David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Robert Plant, Elton John, Gianni Versace, Rolling Stones, Nine Inch Nails, Dave Navarro, Rick Springfield, Eddie Money, Michael Hutchense, and a bunch more.

Craig was also an award-winning copywriter, working as a Creative Director for a Los Angeles-based ad agency until opening up his own ad agency, Green Room Design & Advertising, which was named the 2002 Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year.

Craig combined his backgrounds in both music and marketing, and is now a professional speaker and author, promoting his RockStar System for Success all over the country, teaching entrepreneurs, small businesses, home-based business and the self-employed how to promote themselves and their business by thinking outside the box at his 4 1/2-Day RockStar Marketing BootCamps every March and September in Los Angeles. http://www.CraigDuswalt.com

Why are his seminars called RockStar Marketing BootCamps? Craig used to tour with Guns N’ Roses as Axl Rose’s personal manager, and before that Air Supply. He also owned an advertising agency in Los Angeles, and so he decided to combine the outside-the-box marketing ideas they used on the road to attract 80,000 fans to see Guns N’ Roses, with the more traditional marketing he learned while running his ad agency, and combined the two into a very easy-to-implement system.

Craig’s newest, and most exciting venture is the, RockStar Radio Network. “In all my years of marketing it is obvious to me that writing a book and having your own radio show are the two easiest and most important ways to stand out from your competition,” shares Craig. “My RockStar Marketing BootCamps sell out twice a year simply because I reach more people on a weekly basis on my radio show.”

RockStar Radio Network shows include…
