Price Discrimination

Price discrimination may sound strange to people, but it’s a strategy used by companies to take advantage of the willingness to pay by different groups of people.

Large companies and great marketing strategists use it. Smaller companies do not really use it, so I would like to dig in a bit more and give an overview on the benefit of price discrimination.

Charitable Campaign: Helping Seniors Improve Their Quality of Life

Senior Citizen Hands - solving a jigsaw puzzle

Good evening. This is just a short note here to discuss something very important. I love writing. I love sharing my experiences so that others can learn from them and hopefully have success also. It was once said that with great success comes great responsibility. This is not something that I have hid from or take lightly.

Business Angel

Antonio Velardo, business angel
Hello! I wanted to touch base quickly here via my blog and my social networks and extend an invitation. I am a firm believer that opportunity breeds opportunity, and that hard work is the key to success. Hand and hand, these two elements have often led to amazing inventions, products, businesses etc. I love to be a part of new ideas, of creative, fresh ways to do things. It is cliche, yes, but thinking outside of the box has become a cliché for a reason...because of its importance. Put the old ways to bed and share your new ideas withRead more

Gratification Theory

Gratification Theory - uses gratifications social media model

Uses and gratifications theory attempts to explain the uses and functions of the media for individuals, groups and society in general.

The theoretical foundation of this theory lies in the social origin of a need. I use the media with an active approach and it is very difficult to spend time watching television, so usually I search news online through YouTube, twitter or blogs or typing the topic on google and look for the various results.

I do sometimes read important international newspapers on my iPad but then I always try to verify the news from other sources.

The Dreadful Word: VACANCY

vacancy

The concept of vacancy, which I touched on in the last post, is one of the most important factors when investing in real estate for cash flow / income purposes.

People lose money or make bad investments primarily because they do not understand how to calculate it correctly.

Obviously, calculating vacancy is terribly difficult. What most investors seem to do is simply discount 10%, sometimes even only 5% from the gross value of the rent that they are supposed to get…and then they just hope that it works.

Second Life – A Digital Community

Second Life

I began my life in Second Life. At the start I have to admit I was discouraged and bored. But then I slowly built interest due to the interaction with people made me feel a like an Anthropologist trying to get the essence of that community, learn their language and their behavior. Yes, it was my first ever research into a digital community.

I began with a normal avatar. I was trying to stick with an integrated self, but then I went for somebody that was similar but not too similar. The simplicity was due in part to a lack of interest in spending hours to adjust my avatar.

Survey – Acai Berry

Acai Berries

I spent a lot of time thinking the topic of this survey. I guess the topic could have been anything, but I want to make sure that my exercise makes sense to the reader. I did use Qualtrics and I think is amazing.

I am an entrepreneur and I have several companies in different fields. I have intentions to invest in a health-food store chain, specializing in serving natural acai berry bowls.

Single Family Home Vs. Multi Family

Evaluate Houses

Time and time again I have seen realtors pushing buyers around, mainly the property buyers who purchase multi-family investments. For some reason many realtors seem to think that those investments are much greater in terms of a Single Family Home. Obviously it depends on the price, but in general the prices of multi-family properties have been increasing so much that the numbers just don’t make sense anymore.
