There are two types of first dates, the ones that offer you a good start for a relationship and the ones that end up being a total disaster. Have you ever asked why do people prefer to have their first date at a coffee shop? The reason behind the choice is simple; they have the possibility to end the date after 20 minutes if they do not like the personality or looks of the person. But the first coffee date scenario is no longer an option nowadays because before establishing a date people get to know each other online. More and more relationships start online, therefore they know how the other looks and they have time to understand if they like each other’s personality because they talk extensively before going on a date. You need some alternative first date ideas to help you get out of your comfort zone when you meet your date for the first time.   First dates involving outdoor activities An outdoor concert or movie As long as the temperatures are comfortable enough to spend time outdoors, it is no reason not to choose an outdoor activity for your first date. From outdoor concerts to movies and theatre shows, there are countless options from which to choose. The great thing about this type of activities is that they are free; you afford to have them even if you are a student. If you are looking for events to take your date out you should check the local magazines and newsletters because they announce these activities ahead. Theme park If your date is the type of person who enjoys funny activities then you can take them to a theme park, these places are not only for teenagers. You can have a lot of fun in the roller coaster and you create the perfect opportunity for a handholding. Make sure to ask your date if they would like to go to a theme park because you do not want to end up forcing them to get in the roller coaster. Explore nature A long bike ride is always a perfect start for a couple that is trying to know each other better. If your date is the type of person, who loves being active then you can decide together what type of outdoor activity you can have. Go for a hike, climb an outdoor rock or hit the golf course. A first date in natural air is a great way to start a relationship. First dates involving food and drink A cooking class If you are looking for something similar to going outdoors but you do not want to get involved in outdoor activities (if this makes sense) you can take your date to a cooking class. It is a great way to try to know a person you meet for the first time in person. This type of classes can be a little pricey but they definitely worth because they can help you establish a bond from the first date. Pizza restaurant Sitting down for a long meal may not sound like the ideal first date, but grabbing a pizza is a more suitable idea for a young couple.  If you want to have an exquisite pizza experience, you should book a table at a restaurant that offers traditional Italian pizza. To shake things up you should choose a restaurant that offers not only pizza but also other Italian dishes. If your date has never tasted Italian pizza this is the perfect opportunity to do some research and find a traditional restaurant. You will impress them with the delicious dishes they serve. Breakfast instead of dinner There is something romantic about fluffy pancakes topped with maple syrup and accompanied by fresh fruits. It is a great idea for your first date but if you do not synchronize your schedules to meet in the morning, you can have breakfast instead of dinner. It will be a relaxed and fun tone to start a relationship. First dates involving inside adventures Karaoke If you both are passionate about music and you think you have talent, then a karaoke date sounds perfect. Karaoke helps you understand if you two have that connection that can serve as a base for a relationship. You will listen and sing on your favourite tunes and you will have a lot of fun. For a successful first date make sure you do not hit a club where the playlist contains only romantic ballads. Bowling If you are the type of persons who are not romantic in the classic meaning of the word then this idea may be the right one. Bumper lanes, funny shoes, bar snacks and some competition, it sounds like romance for a modern couple. Sometimes when both persons are too shy, one of them to break the ice, a game is the perfect help they get. It allows you to have time to think about the topics of discussion you want to start and you can combine a funny activity with a quality conversation. Billiard or board games If you want to try another funny activity indoors, you can ask your date if they like board games. Often the persons who play board games have a starting point for conversations and they find easy to bond. Instead of going to a bar and sipping your drinks in silence, you can play some board games and find out which one of you is the most competitive one. Nowadays bars come with a pool, darts, shuffleboards, chessboards, video games, billiards, and board games. Practically it is an option for every person.   A planetarium If you have not explored the local museum or planetarium in ages, your first date is the perfect excuse to do it. It is a romantic activity to have with someone you have already established a connection. Make sure you check the exhibits of the museum to see one that interests you both because they tend to change them quite frequently. And if none of these activities interest you, you can come up with your own.

In no particular order: 1. Attract an audience: Blogging enables you to reach the billions of people that use the Internet. Blogging can help you promote yourself or your business. The people and businesses that make the most noise make the most money and have the most power.  2. Establish authority: Forget business cards. Blogs are the new business cards. Having a blog and writing about important topics that are relevant to your audience establishes yourself as an authority in the space. It enhances your professional image. 3. Build rapport and engagement: Blogging can convert traffic into leads and leads into customers. Blogging can “warm up” your cold calls and traffic from other sources. If someone receives your cold call, they may be more receptive if they’ve read your blog and received value from it. 4. Create Opportunities: Blogging can lead to other business/traffic generating opportunities. For example, speaking engagements or press. I’ve had people contact me to speak at conferences who found me through my blog. Blogging enables anyone with something interesting or valuable to say to be identified as an expert. 5. Learn and train your brain to organize thoughts: Blogging forces you to teach yourself what you don’t know and to articulate what you do know. When you begin writing a blog post, you are forced to organize your thoughts. If there are any gaps in the topic that you are writing about, you will have to learn about it.  6. Blogging enables you to be your own media company: You can tell your story the way you want to tell it without being dependent on journalists. When you are writing about a topic of your own interest, you can decide how to portray a story, what information to include, and what information to exclude. Blogging allows you to ensure that all information included in the blog is factual. 7. Meet new people: The audience you attract through blogging doesn’t have to just be your “audience.” They can become your friends, colleagues, partners, or lovers. I’ve had many people reach out to me directly after reading my blog. Some of those people have become friends or good business contacts. 8. Stand out: According to “the 1 percent rule,” only 1 percent of Internet users actively create new content, while the other 99 percent of the participants simply view it. By blogging, you separate yourself from the 99 percent of people that don’t blog. Standing out is essential in an increasingly competitive economy. 9. Blogs are the new resumes: Blogging about a topic you would like to be viewed as an expert in, can illustrate to readers, employers, and your network, that you are are skilled and knowledgeable. 10. Make money: There are several ways to monetize your blog. Promote your services. Advertise. Sell other people's products through affiliate marketing.   11. Google Loves Blogs: When your blog is ready, Google crawls your pages and it will be listed on Google search. It means you will start receiving additional visitors from the search engines. Isn’t that great? Search engines help to bring new people to your blog that can become your new friends or future business partners.      Why Do We Charge?  Because we give you traffic. We will email our 116,000 members your blog and maybe someone will like you and buy your services and products. If you don't want to pay $39.99, the 2nd option is to pay for your own: 1. website 2. buy software 3. advertise on Google for $1.00 per click to get traffic 4. website hosting Maybe all of that will be around $300 a month.

Owning a home is a prominent benchmark that has been in many people’s dreams since they were young. The thought of building a home is often synonymous to one of the first major steps in a person’s life. A home is a place to raise a loving family under a roof, where friends gather for backyard BBQs, where guys have a man cave and women a girl’s den. For those that do not yet have a home, it is very easy to slip into these fantasies and daydream. However, the cold reality is that buying a home and achieving this dream can be far from easy. Especially in major city centres where housing prices steeply rise and are fair game for vicious bidding wars. Even small sized fixer upper homes in hot spots of cities are strategically priced lower to encourage bids that rise by the hundreds of thousands and, in the end, sell for over a million.   The trap many first home buyers, particularly young ones, fall into is being house rich but pocket poor. What this means is that they have scrounged together just enough finances to purchase their dream home, from the down payment to mortgage and other expenses. Yet, once the home is purchased, a steady and often high cash flow is needed. General house expenses, repairs, taxes & utilities, mortgage payments, start to stack up costs irrespective of budgeting for standard living expenditures on groceries, car, clothing, phone bills, and more. Unfortunately, the downward spiral continues of just keeping the owner’s head above water until the realization that more money is going out than coming in. Eventually, the owner has to sell and downsize to suit their standard of living. So, what can be done to avoid the chance of such as situation.   There is a classic piece of advice when it comes to playing the stock market not to take a risk on anything that you cannot afford to lose. The same applies to purchasing a home. It is essential to understand the price range you are comfortable with in order to filter your search and manage expectations. Often this practice is automatically in effect when the home buyer(s) are seeking mortgage approval. No one would lend large sums of money to a stranger, who promises to pay back with interest, so do not expect the Banks to blindly issue mortgage loans. Banks want to see proof of cash flow to indicate that you can pay the monthly mortgage with interest and will not default. In today’s Freelance or entrepreneurial culture, this can become a challenge. Therefore, it is important to show that you have a consistent cash flow or income per month. If you run your own business, for example, keeping clear records to show that you have made a monthly profit of £4,000 or more for the past 5 years assures a bank’s mortgage lender much better than a Freelance that made £1,500 one month, then £300 the other, with an inconsistent pattern. Saving up as much money for the down payment is also very useful as this will not only influence the mortgage approval but also how fast you are able to pay off the mortgage and thus pay less interest overall. The longer the time period to pay off the mortgage, the higher the fixed rate interest.   Another option a first time home buyer should consider is where to purchase their home. Location is arguably the biggest driver of housing price, as a decent home in a prime location in the city fetches millions. Therefore, newbie buyers may want to consider the less popular areas, that could be up and coming in a few years. Doing research to find hidden gems in the city could pay off massively if gentrification occurs later on and the homes that were purchased  inexpensively are now triple or quadruple in market value. Also, search for homes that have amenities nearby or that are close to your place of work, as these are all important factors to consider. Often, buyers in the city as willing to search for property in the suburbs or an hour drive away. Homes in the suburbs, small townships, or the country may have a lower asking price and are double in size when compared to those in the city. Having a larger plot of land, surrounded by nature, in a quiet community, and the ability to drive or commute for an hour into the city centre, are all benefits for many buyers. Many buyers choose to build their families here for this very reason. Even in the once quiet communities, population growth has nurtured vibrant towns that have a nice balance of a peaceful atmosphere without feeling too isolated. Whether staying inside or going out of the city, it is important to balance the realities of your finances with your lifestyle and necessities.   The next important piece of advice for home buying is to conduct extensive research and know the housing market inside out. In this way, buyers are best equipped to negotiate pricing or engage in a bidding war where they do not over bid and lose extra financials or make low ball offers that lose a sale on the perfect home. In this way, the bidding strategy is somewhat akin to betting in slot games such as those offered by online casino sites like KongCasino.com. Strategy betting in these online slots, which have flexible wagers, can offer the opportunity for many chances to win real money. These slots have an easy to pick up gameplay with 5 reels, 3 to 4 wager rows, paylines, and many bonus features that can win rewards. The great quality of these slot games is that they are mobile friendly and also available in a variety of exciting themes. For instance, home buyers may enjoy real estate related online slots such as WMS Gaming’s ‘Monopoly: Bring Down the House’, NextGen’s ‘Foxin Wins’, and NetEnt’s ‘Piggy Riches’. The latter two in which players are invited to lavish mansions as they spin the reels. On any given spin, home buyers could be contributing to the down payment of a mansion of their own.   The housing market can seem very daunting. There are many details to understand and iron out as well as thinking practically. On this point, a large portion of buyers use their homes as Investment income via rent or Airbnb. Others purchase a fixer upper home that they renovate and flip for triple the value in a year. There are many ways to make home buying work for you, the main challenge is finding which ones to pursue.

Nothing says "WOW", like installation art. What is installation art? It is the use of a large section with a single art display. This can be the size of a whole room, either inside or outside. These are generally the main focal point of a store, museum, or even office building. They also based on an "idea", or "conception" of persons or the company's belief. Installation art displays are thought to be great marketing ploys, that generally don't cost as much as a traditional marketing plan. Although, these are not truly a marketing plan, a reason to draw people to your establishment, which is, in a sense, marketing. One infamous type of installation art that just about everyone knows about, is the Wall Street bull. Tourists from around the world clamor to get a picture by the "bull". Another type of installation art is the holiday installation art display. Retailers around the world desire to have the best of the best, when it comes to getting more and more customers to their stores. One such well-known display is the New York City major department store window displays, of which Macy's was the first to start a tradition of. People come from all over the world to do walking tours just to see all the retailer's windows at Christmas. These displays can also be outside in the main gathering area, such as a park. Another famous display at Christmas time is Rockefeller Center. The enormous tree is adorned with lights, ornaments, and a spectacular piece of art, a 9-foot star made with three million Swarovski crystals set. Leading up to the tree and ice rink are beautiful angels heralding the Christmas season. Some places set out huge toy soldiers lining the walkways, others scattered giant Christmas balls around, or in a heap. Some have beautiful twinkling stars or huge silver balls. Christmas is not the only holiday where installation art is used. Many stores decorate for every holiday in some sort of theme. This can be Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Thanksgiving. Easter is usually done in the Spring theme, complete with flowers blooming and furry little animals. Thanksgiving has always been done in the Fall theme. it will complete with pumpkins and colorful leaves. Businesses often have contested a year in advance for artists to come up with ideas for a spectacular display. There will be a designated theme, such as one year, Christmas displays were about the Grinch and Whoville. Artists dig deep into their imaginations, to come up with, "top of the world" displays. Then the trick is getting from their minds to paper, and constructing the display in 3D. Cities all across the world have jumped on board with the installation art idea. Ocala Florida has large horse statues scattered around the city, all done in a different design, and color scheme. Other cities use bulls, cows, roosters, and more. Whatever the area represents is what animal or theme is picked. Installation art is meant to draw people in. It is supposed to make you feel good and in awe of such a project. They make you travel from distant areas to see the works of art. It is a bonus to  businesses that have these displays made, as customers will venture into their businesses to learn more about their products and purchase them too. Next time you visit one of these massive pieces of art, think of the artist who designed it and imagine all the work that went into it. Enjoy!
