Car Donation For The Wise
Advertisers make car donation sound so uncomplicated: Donate a used car instead of going through the hassle of selling it, and then instead of cash you get tax write offs. It’s a no lose situation right? After all you still get some sort of return and in the process you even end up helping someone else.
Unfortunately like all ideas with great intentions things always seem to go awry, and with car donations this is usually the case. So before giving away your vehicle you’d better read this.
Help A Deserving Charity
There are numerous charities out there, thousands and in fact even millions. You probably already favor a certain charity, despite this, visit or call and ask if they can accept a vehicle donation. Not all charitable institutions accept automobile bequests. Ergo, make calls and visit their offices personally to ensure that they are legit. The IRS website has a complete list of all qualified charitable institutions.
Instead of asking the charity to pick up your gift, drive it down yourself. This’ll help the charity save on the cost of having someone tow or pick up the car. The goal here is help to the charity make money, not spend it.
To make a clean break, ensure that the Car Title is appropriately transferred to the organization’s name. If you don’t, you might get mail regarding unpaid parking tickets, and then you’ll be in trouble.
Keep Clear!
If you can make time, try to refrain from using middlemen or what’s called a car donation service. Although they mean well, you cannot deny the fact that they are businesses, and an enterprise’s main goal is to create income. It could be that they only give $200 to charities for every $1000 they make selling your car. This defeats the end of being able to give the charitable institution maximum revenue. If you calculate it, only 10 to 20% actually goes to the actual charity. Additionally, if say only $100 reaches the charity then you will not be eligible for the tax subtractions.
Be Meticulous
Try and keep track of all the paper works. You must keep extra copies for yourself for later purposes and for your current IRS needs. Make sure you fill up all of the IRS required form. The proof of sale will not be needed if the charity keeps your car for their use. By the way, this is where working with a good charity can help you because they are actually going to be the one to provide you with the necessary forms and documentations. If you’re giving away an expensive or relatively new vehicle then you need to get independent appraisal.
Last But Not Least
Before going ahead with making a car donation, make sure you remember these last few reminders. Do not over estimate the value of your car; the IRS has a price basis of how much your car’s current value is more than $500. If it’s less than that amount, then you can claim as much as the charity got for selling the car. Don’t try to cheat to get a bigger tax write off; the IRS has stringent compliance rules. The charity has to provide you with an Acknowledgement Certificate that states the charity’s name, address, the car’s present condition, and if the charity gave anything in payment of the car. Remember if you get something in return then the donation in now deemed sale.

3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online
Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the
successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a
magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more
complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been
proven over years of hard work and dedication.
There are tactics that have worked before with online
marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of
today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to
increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.
What are these three tactics?
1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product
you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on
web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and
nothing more.
Always include product reviews on the website so visitors
will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys
them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product.
Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their
names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.
You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the
product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages
attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each
headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you.
Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the
page is about and will want to find out more.
2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position
them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try
to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their
personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is
closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.
Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone:
closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing
useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will
remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that
the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific
reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.
Focus on important points like how your product can make
life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in
the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are
still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before
even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free
reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your
products and services.
3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product.
Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever
in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come
back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can
locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have
put up might just grab their interest.
Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least
300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles
you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to
buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000
targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based
on the average statistic.
The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult
to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan
on your part.
Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing
programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this
business that not all marketers can do.
Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving…
