People from all over the world use Facebook. For you, this site can be an effective tool to expand your business. Facebook does have some marketing options that require payment, but some of the most successful businesses can implement free ideas as well. Whether you pay or not, here are some tips that will help you on Facebook.

While you want your personality to show, you must keep things professional when making Facebook posts. While social media sites provide a relaxed atmosphere, your business still needs a professional appearance. If you stay professional at all times then people are going to respect you and your business a lot more.

Link all of your published content to your Facebook. Link post summaries of blog entries from your site onto Facebook. Your Twitter page and other pages can be linked straight to your Facebook account.

Facebook Offers allows you to easily and rapidly promote contests or giveaways that are offered on the website. First, write a description of your offer. Then, set the "Promoted Post" flag from your wall. If it is a really good offer, you can even promote it to non-fans.

Before you do anything else, you must build your audience. That means you really shouldn't put too much investment into marketing products or promotions there until you have at least 5,000 fans. After you hit that many people you should see your conversion rates start to rise.

Look into buying ads through Facebook. You ad can be customized to be shown only to certain ages or genders. You may also use a given budget and do a lot or a little as you can manage. And best of all, you are not committed long term. When the promotion is over, you can put an end to your ad.

Don't forget to discuss your business on other Facebook pages. If you are posting on a page that isn't your own, it can gain you attention. Having said that, it's crucial that this attention is desirable. Only post on another person's profile page if you're sharing something valuable. Make sure that you avoid spamming other pages.

Everything you put up on Facebook needs to have value. Stated otherwise, all followers ought to gain something from your postings, even if it is just a helpful hint or a bit of advice. You don't want to "sell" your customers too often because this will irritate them.

Don't post updates that are dull and boring. For personal posts, use your personal Facebook page. Your customers may not be interested in personal updates if they are not related to your business. Try using your personal account to share personal project updates.

Have your fans participate in decisions about your company. People love feeling important and in-the-know. Give your followers the power to make some simple decisions. For instance, if you are a blogger, consider asking them what posts they'd like to read.

Don't turn off comments! While some see it as a method of keeping negativity away from them, it sends a bad message to your followers.



Encourage users to interact with you and other fans. A post may generate a conversation that you should try to keep going. Acting like a hall monitor is no way to get on your users good side. But, don't hesitate to jump in if the content becomes mean or offensive.

If you will not be able to update your Facebook page in real time, try a scheduling tool. Get a reliable tool that can post your updates at the time when your subscriber base is likely to be visiting your page. Experiment a little with different options to see what works best for you.

Your posts should contain a variety of content while staying on one subject. These posts can be loosely related to your products or services. Find different types of content that will keep your fans engaged. You can try posting a photo to incite conversation, or you can create a posting that has a question that needs to be answered.

Facebook matchmaking can help you get the word out about your business. You can often bring help two people meet on Facebook. Do it. Then you could end up at the center of an awesome story that they go on to tell for years. You can't ask for better marketing than that!

It is important that you understand the fundamentals of Facebook. The greater your understanding of it, the more you will get out of it. Take a look at the help section on the Facebook site to teach yourself as much as you can. You will gain a competitive advantage.

Now, you're equipped with useful Facebook marketing tips. Setting up a Facebook marketing campaign is not costly, so you can easily experiment with the advice from this article. Make sure you start immediately because it is unlikely that your competition is using Facebook. You don't want them to find this article as well and get started first!

However in real life, it could require having stay at home jobs in Kansas City if you want to avoid giving up every other facet of your lifestyle.




Precisely Where Jobs Are Going
Work studies have been carried out to compare the environment of stay at home jobs in Kansas City with more classic office jobs. The conclusions are that those who can work with more independence are much more satisfied. For some time it was thought that without a manager to continuously oversee employees, nothing would get done. More and more this is being disproven by the fact that employees are more productive when they work on their own. Because of this, more corporations are becoming open to the idea of telecommuting. This is demonstrating to work out well for businesses as well as personnel.

Developments are displaying a new alternation in the work place. As the years carry on, stay at home jobs in Kansas City will only become more prevalent. Predictions are usually that those amounts are only going to climb as the world continues to be taken over by technology and online jobs. For any person wanting a career that may be accomplished from the comfort of their home, this is motivating news.

Independence in a job isn’t the best for every individual. There are people who actually detest working alone.

This way you can make a decision you won’t desire to take back in a few months.

Locate Methods To Make Your Like Simpler
Every individual has a different set of strengths and weaknesses. According to your personality type, you need to figure out what you can in fact do and enjoy in a career. Anyone with stay at home jobs in Kansas City will need to have a large amount of self-discipline, time management skills, and autonomy.

As excellent as something such as this sounds, not everybody can handle it practically. For some parents, attempting to do work while their kids are tugging on them and playing around isn’t favorable.

Working At Home Versus In A Regular Job
Comparing and contrasting your alternatives is a good method to make a decision. There are numerous differences between stay at home jobs in Kansas City and traditional settings. Your home office will not have a boss micromanaging what you carry out. For many people, it is really an incredibly freeing feeling that actually allows them to work harder and do top quality work.

Do You Need To Get Away From The Morning Commute?
When you have never had stay at home jobs in Kansas City, it may seem to be a paradise compared to a cubicle profession. Knowing what’s included in working out of your house is important if you are seriously considering it. I encourage you to look into jobs that can be achieved from home. Just know that a career like this is probably not how you would picture it is.

Work At Home Takes Your Willingness
Not every person can manage the commitment of stay at home jobs in Kansas City. Be real with yourself. If you don’t get pleasure from doing a job well, and bearing the brunt of a project, you aren’t likely to prosper in a setting such as this. Individuality plays a big role here. As most home office job opportunities require you to assume responsibility, not having that attribute is going to hurt your likelihood of carrying out a great job.

Establish If You Will Do Good Yourself
The more in control workers are of assignments and their own work schedule, the better their job and the more effective they are. This is an element of why companies are giving more stay at home jobs in Kansas City. However, there are still employees who take advantage of not being supervised by a boss.

Doing The Job On Your Own Agenda
Undeniably, many employees find the most attractive factor of home office jobs the adaptable routine. If work was all individuals had to bother about, this wouldn’t matter. But with all the many requirements and obligations in todays lifestyles, being in a position to have your work work around your life makes a massive distinction. If you are lucky and have a nice boss, you might get the time off you ask for. But only stay at home jobs will assist you to constantly live your life the way you choose to. This solitary feature may also be enough for people to do whatever needs doing to make these job opportunities work.

Not Having Time Management Techniques, You Can Expect To Fail
With autonomy and the capacity to make your own agenda comes the issue of whether or not you can really make yourself get work accomplished on time. The best way to do that is to make sure that stay at home jobs in Kansas City take place in a scheduled way. While it’s great to be able to put other things first, work still has to be a center point of your life. Otherwise you won’t do well at jobs similar to this.

Examine what most jobs that can be achieved out of our home involve. A great deal of stay at home jobs in Kansas City are project based. This means that provided that the work gets completed, you can do it whenever you want. If you don’t reserve time to accomplish it, however, you may find yourself in a bad situation when a deadline comes around. Be sure you treat working at home seriously, and you will be fine.



Your Jobs Have To Get Finished Punctually
You actually need to be the right person to do nicely in these jobs. It doesn’t matter how badly you need it. If you can’t get the precise work completed on your own, then stay at home jobs in Kansas City usually are not the best match to suit your needs. If you can’t be self-disciplined and prioritize your work, you will likely end up missing critical deadlines. If you are in a position to grow in these areas, you really can make these kinds of jobs into satisfying employment opportunities. It’s simple really. Simply do your best on assignments and make certain that your work is done in a timely manner.

Pocket Watch Serial Numbers

Mr. Pocket Watch publishes pocket watch reviews and ratings for 2014 on the best pocket watches available in today's market and also articles and tips on a variety of pocket watch topics.

Storified by mrpocketwatch · Mon, Aug 18 2014 07:35:15

Pocket watch serial numbers are a unique set of numbers (letters may be included too) assigned to each pocket watch when it is manufactured. These numbers can be found on many watch company’s history pages. There are several pocket watch manufacturers and each watch manufacturing company uses a different combination of letters and numbers for each of their ranges of products. To keep records of these huge sets of numbers companies usually maintain a database of their products and their respective serial numbers. The main pocket watch manufactures are Ball, Elgin, Hamilton, Illinois, Rockford, South Bend, and Waltham. A composite database has been formed, where it is possible to trace watches made by these companies.

The Pocket Watch Serial Numbers are of two types, movement serial numbers and case serial numbers.

Movement Serial Numbers: Movement serial numbers are the unique numbers that are stamped on the movement of the watch, rather like the chassis number of a motor vehicle. The movement of the watch is the working part of the watch consisting of wheels, levers and gears.

Case Serial Numbers: Case serial numbers are a different set of numbers that are printed inside the back case of the pocket watch.

Movement serial numbers and case serial numbers are always different from each other. This is because it is possible that these two parts are made by two different companies, and they use separate numbers to identify their own product. Also, a new movement may be fitted into an older case, especially if there is an heirloom watch for which the movement has been damaged or is no longer working. The case would still be valuable to the owners, who may want to have a working pocket watch fitted inside it.

Now, let us consider an example through which we can see how to use serial number look-up table. Let us say, there is a Waltham made pocket watch with movement serial number 21,607,210. Considering serial number look-up table, we may able to see that the watch with movement serial number 20,900,000 was made in 1917, and the watch with number 21,800,000 was developed in 1918. Since the above mentioned number falls between these two numbers, that particular watch must have been manufactured between 1917 and 1918.

There is a valid reason behind the fact that you may not have found the exact serial number in the look-up table. There are so many companies producing pocket watches and over the years, many companies have made millions of watches. To make a list of each and every number used by each and every company would be totally unwieldy. The look-up table presents a range of serial numbers from which you can determine the approximate manufacturing date of a particular watch and therefore the age of the item.

Now, the question is, how can you find the movement serial number? To see the movement serial number, you have to remove the back of the watch case. There you will also find the case serial number.

It is true that not every pocket watch manufacturing company uses serial numbers to identify their products, but most of the bigger manufacturers do use this identification markingsystem.

1. You're your personal boss, so there's no likelihood of obtaining laid off.



If you're sick of becoming a corporate slave who is often out of a job at a moment's notice, starting your very own small business might be the right solution! At the least once you are your very own boss, you might never ever have to be concerned about being shocked with another pink slip.



2. Beginning your very own small business requires an investment - and that is very good for the all round economy.



The volume of money it takes to start your personal business is dependent upon the business you're in, but each new start-up requires some sort of initial investment. As your company spends dollars, it assists other firms, and creates new jobs for other unemployed workers.



3. Starting your very own organization is a lot easier than it was years ago - because of main gains in technologies.

By becoming an entrepreneur, that you are creating a thing from the ground up that's all yours. Think of how proud you are going to be if you get a brand new client, or make a brand new sale. Have been you definitely proud just about every time your old employer got a new client? Possibly not.



7. It really is been performed ahead of.



A lot of main corporations started as tiny start-up enterprises through hard financial times. Burger King, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and FedEx were all created either in the course of recessions, or appropriate after. If they are able to do it, so can you!

If you have an automobile, you are going to need insurance. Are you aware of details like the amount of coverage you need? The amount of options available can overwhelm even the best of us. This process does not have to be so hard. These tips will give you a few pointers on choosing the right policy for you.

It is always possible to purchase additional coverage in excess of what the law requires. Making sure you have the right amount of coverage, even if the cost is a little more, is important in the event of an accident. If you get in a hit-and-run accident or one where the other party has no insurance, you will be out of luck unless you have uninsured motorist coverage.

When you buy car insurance, remember that only the person named on the policy will be insured unless otherwise specified. Many drivers lend their car out to a friend, only to find that the friend's accident is not covered because they were not listed on the driver's policy. Car insurance policies can be purchased at a higher premium, that include allowing other licensed drivers to operate your vehicle.

Leave more money in your pocket by choosing a higher deductible. It is a bit risky, but it will help you save on your insurance premiums. You have to make sure to save up money in case you need to pay a higher deductible at some point. Your premiums will often be considerably lower if you choose the higher deductible.

While finding the company that offers the lowest annual premium for your car insurance is important, this is only one of the many factors that you should consider when comparing insurance for young drivers quotes. You should also examine items in fine print to find your deductible levels and benefit limits, if you should have an accident.

Choosing proper insurance is the key to saving money should an accident occur. Insurance policies will have a person pay a predetermined amount of money, known as a deductible, and any costs over the deductible will be taken care of by the insurance.

If you pay several policies with one company, you may qualify for a discount. Try to take part in these offers and get a policy for your house and your vehicle in one. You will need to get good coverage and a good deal, you may need to get two insurance companies or policies to achieve this.

When looking for auto insurance, get quotes from various companies. Doing research will allow you to find the best rate for you.

Consider how much monthly insurance rates will be before purchasing a car. You should always keep in mind that the safer a car is rated, the more favorably an insurance company is going to view it. On the other hand, owning a sports car will increase your rates. It is important to calculate this expense into your budget when buying your car.

The higher the value of your car and personal assets, the higher level of liability coverage you will need. Look into 100/200/100 coverage. You must make certain your insurance policy meets all state minimum requirements for liability coverage.

If you want to get a cheaper car insurance rate, try increasing your FICO score. Did you know that they're allowed to check your credit? Studies have indicated that those with poor credit are at a greater risk of having an accident, so insurers have begun to incorporate credit ratings into the formula they use for determining the price of your policy. Keep your credit in good shape and your insurance rates will stay lower.



These are just a few of the many tips regarding auto insurance. As you learn more about auto insurance, you will find it to be much less confusing and complicated. Having a concrete understanding will help you chose insurance policies that are sufficient for your needs.

Will Scotland's uncounted voters swing the #indyref?

The polls are closing, and the bookies at least are confident that Scottish voters will turn down the chance of independence. But could the failure of polling companies to capture many of the most marginalised voters produce a surprise?

Storified by Alex Cobham · Thu, Sep 18 2014 21:59:52

It's quarter to ten on the evening of 18 September 2014. By the time I finish this whisky and post this story the polls will have closed on Scotland's independence referendum. 

There's been no shortage of commentary - considered and less so, informed and otherwise - on today's Scottish independence referendum. Most bookmakers have the chance of a 'Yes' victory at 7/2 or higher, and drifting rather than tightening. But with the opinion polls having tightened up from a fairly solid 60:40 'No' lead during much of the previous two years, the outcome remains quite uncertain. In particular, the role of those who haven't voted - and may be largely unaccounted for in the pollsters' predictions - could be decisive. 
First, the (more or less) standard view. It's close; but it's a 'No'. 
 This great blog post from LSE's Carl Cullinane uses the most recent five polls, along with projections of the timing of announcements from voting venues, to model how results will pan out over the night to come. 
What time are the results going to start coming in this evening? #indyref http://t.co/kUS6BfBeYI · Democratic Audit
Using modelled polling data & estimated timings, the share of the vote could progress something like this. #indyref http://t.co/G2UIoO4yWU · Democratic Audit
So, if the polls are broadly accurate, results will start with a narrow 'No' lead and this will only widen as the early morning progresses. But what if they're not?
There are two main views on how that could happen. One is that - perhaps like the Quebec referendum - there might be a swing on the day towards the status quo. 
The alternative - although not mutually exclusive - is that the polling companies may have made systematic errors due to a failure to capture the most marginalised voters - those whose decisions to register to vote this time round has led to record registration levels. Tony McKelvie, take it away:
And on the whole, the DNVs are not like others: they're more likely to be poor, for one thing. This more detailed piece from John McDermott at the FT rounds up the range of possible polling errors. In respect of the 'uncounted' voters, he writes: 

The second possible type of flaw in the polls is in the adjustments made to turn the unweighted sample into a weighted sample, from which the results are taken. All pollsters make such adjustments. And in the case of the independence referendum the adjustment always increases the Yes tally. This is because No voters are on average older and wealthier, two correlates with being more likely to participate in polls. I wrote about the different ways pollsters weigh the samples here. In short, if there were a Yes vote and it was unanticipated because of weighting errors, all of the pollsters would have been wrong in how they adjust their samples.

Part A

Storified by meganlushanko · Thu, Sep 18 2014 22:00:45

This was one of my strongest tweets this past week with 8 favorites and 1 retweet. I feel this tweet was popular because who doesn't love the weekends? Majority of the people that made this tweet strong were college students. Being a college student there is nothing better than the feeling of no school and the week grind of classes and tests being over. I think that's why people drew to this tweet and probably were feeling the relief and relaxation the weekend ahead was going to bring them!
This tweet about food surprised me with 9 favorites! I am not a big salmon eater, but every once in a while I enjoy it. The reason I tweeted this is because I was excited to make it and eat it for the first time on my own living in my college house. I didn't expect this tweet to be very popular but it surprisingly was! I think one reason this tweet was strong is because I posted it on a Sunday afternoon when people are usually lounging around and on their phones. Also, I tweeted this before dinner and people were probably hungry and thinking of what to make for dinner. Another possibility could be that salmon is a popular, delicious fish and made peoples mouths water so they gave me a favorite!
Night walks ❤️ http://t.co/z2406Hyl7g · Megan Lushanko
Bemidji State is such a beautiful place on the lake and it inspired me to take a picture which received 7 favorites. I think this tweet was strong because of the scenic view that catches peoples attention. When I come across a pretty picture on twitter I always stop and favorite it; its hard not to! Also, night walks are very relaxing and many people exercise and can relate to the feeling of peacefulness it can bring.
Part B
One of my not so popular tweets from the past week was this one with only 2 favorites. I think the reason it wasn't as strong is because people have different perceptions on weather. The day I tweeted it I felt it was cold out but, maybe others felt it wasn't that cold. Another reason could be that I tweeted it on a Saturday afternoon and people could have been busy and not on their phones at this time seeing that it was a weekend day.
This tweet I tweeted this afternoon while I was in class. It only had 2 favorites the whole day and it was one of my less popular tweets from the past week. I think this tweet didn't do so well because people may not be familiar with what monkey bread is. Also, I didn't tweet in the morning right after I ate the monkey bread and this tweet would have probably been more popular around breakfast time.
Buy any fall drink (hot or iced)—get one free. 2-6 pm 9/17-9/21 participating US stores. #PSL #SCM #TeavanaOprahChai http://t.co/loV5TXKeOB · Starbucks Coffee
Instead of tweeting, I decided to retweet Starbucks coffee. This tweet was unsuccessful with only 1 retweet from one of my followers. I find it harder to get favorites and retweets when I retweet something instead of tweeting. I think this is because people scroll along and instead of retweeting or favoriting  they just view it and keep scrolling. I also think that people tend to retweet and favorite more personal things people tweet versus brands tweeting. I retweeted this Starbucks' 2 for 1 deal because I love coffee and I wanted to remember what days the deal ran through. My other followers possibly aren't as into coffee as me or they just viewed the retweet and kept scrolling.

Part C- New Followers

This past week I was followed by a few new accounts. Most of them were freshman teammates on my hockey team and a few people in the social media class. The most recent account I was followed by was BSU Confessions. I think they followed me because I'm on an Athletics team at BSU which makes me more known on campus. 
 
Some new accounts I followed this past week were people that followed me from the social media class, some freshman hockey players on the men and women's team, and an account called "Guys Who...". I followed my classmates accounts for class and the players because some are my friends and teammates. The reason I followed "Guys Who.." is because its interesting reading the tweets they post about different guys and how they act in relationships. I also find if I follow my classmates I can favorite their tweets and they might favorite mine back! Total of about 5 new accounts I followed.

I think this past week I did well adding variety to my tweets with a picture and retweeting Starbucks. I still want to try and engage with a brand and post more quotes and sayings throughout the next coming week. I find that I have more popular tweets when I use quotes and sayings.
