New Austin Business and SEO Training Blog Launched by JM Internet Group












Austin, TX (PRWEB) September 01, 2013

The JM Internet Group, a top provider of online SEO training, is proud to announce their latest business training blog called ‘Austin Biz’, (http://www.Austin-training.org). ‘Austin Biz’ is a business blog for local entrepreneurs and small businesses providing training tips and secrets on Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing, and AdWords.

“While our training is taught online, I do quite a few localized workshops in cities such as Austin, TX,” explained Jason McDonald, Director of the JM Internet Group. “Our new blog project creates localized content to help small businesses and entrepreneurs find local business training resources as well as to consider the power of Internet-based training.”

To read the new ‘Austin Biz’ blog, go to http://www.Austin-training.org/, as the blog provides valuable information on local Austin SEO training as well as general small business training and learning opportunities within Austin, TX.

More on ‘Austin Biz’

It’s not always easy to find small business resources outside of large cities such as Los Angeles, New York, or San Francisco. Small businesses can find it quite difficult to learn the rules of Internet marketing such as SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Social Media Marketing (SMM), or Google AdWords, and the ‘Austin Biz’ blog caters to this need, compiling information on non-profits, government sites, libraries and other agencies that can help small businesses get started or make the transition to a more effective Internet marketing strategy.

Ironically, many of the local government or non-profit organizations do not themselves understand SEO and so they are not very visible to the small business owner in Austin! The ‘Austin Biz’ blog addresses this inadequacy as well as helping small business use the Internet to find local business resources.

Homes for Rent in Lake Magdalene, FL Now Posted Online by PLB Investment Group












Lake Magdalene, Florida (PRWEB) July 01, 2013

Locating available property for rent in populous cities is one struggle for individuals and families with immediate need for housing. One local company is now helping individuals by posting its homes for rent in Lake Magdalene, FL online. The PLB Investment Group created its website at http://realestatetampaflorida.com to offer easy access to review the current homes available for rent online. This growing portfolio of homes is designed to provide immediate availability for housing inside the Tampa, FL area.

Renting property now provides one method of housing for many people. Locating properties for rent using real estate agents or other professionals can be one challenge to established or new residents. The credit requirements can be one blockade that could prevent a person from establishing a lease agreement for an available property.

The company owned homes that are published online by the PLB Group are available to rent through a series of new financing programs that are designed for people with less than average credit ratings.

“We own the homes that we rent and sell to consumers,” a source from the PLB Investment Group added. The methods to creatively finance a person with a lower credit rating are proving to be alternatives to landlords or other methods of acquiring a monthly rental contract. Credit issues are a common reason for denial of many rental applications in the U.S.

“Our homes are internally financed and our lease agreements are customized for each individual,” the source added. These updated services were created this year due to the larger than average demand for leased properties in the Southern part of Florida.

The properties listed for rent online are in addition to services that have been designed to help sellers of real estate. The for sale by owner process is one of the most complicated to learn for homeowners searching for a way to sell homes without complications.

A series of services has been launched this year that directly help homeowners experiencing extraordinary circumstances to sell a property without restrictions or blockades. Company application forms now exist on the website that can be completed online and submitted to company housing specialists to expedite consumer services.

About PLB Investment Group

The PLB Investment Group has established is presence in the Tampa, Florida area as an alternative to real estate agents or realtors to complete sale or lease to own transactions. A group of company investors handles all of the buying and selling that takes place in the local area. A redesigned company website is now a source of information for non-realtor transactions to the public. The PLB Investment Group company currently purchases up to 10 properties in the local area each month to expand its growing portfolio of homes available for rent or purchase by consumers.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) January 08, 2013

Optimus Advisory Group (http://www.optimusadvisory.com) is proud to announce the launch of three new tactical strategies. These new strategies help us expand beyond our current offerings of Long-Short and Short-Only liquid alternative investment strategies.

All three strategies are long-only, fully diversified and rules-based. Each strategy has its own unique combination of decision making tools.

Optimus REV Multi-Strategy:

Seeks to provide investors with the capital appreciation normally associated with a diversified mix of stocks and bonds, while using active management and downside risk protection techniques. This long-only ETF model can vary its equity investments from 10% to 90% of the portfolio, depending upon three separate factors:

Rotation: Utilizes a combination of core strategic & overweighting/underweighting of key holdings.

Economic: Uses a composite of economic indicators to determine which assets to be invested in during varying economic climates.

Volatility: Uses volatility as a tool for selecting which assets to be invested in at any given time.

Possible ETF investment categories for REV include:

Low Volatility Equities (US, International & Emerging Markets), US Large, Mid & Small Cap Equities, High Yield Bonds, Emerging Markets Debt & Intermediate-Term Bonds.

Optimus Eight Baskets Rotation Strategy:

The Eight Baskets Rotation Strategy allocates client assets among eight asset classes: U.S. Stocks, Foreign Stocks, U.S. Bonds, Foreign Bonds, Cash/Short-Term Bonds, Real Estate Investment Trusts, Commodities and Precious Metals. Client assets are invested in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that represent the baskets in varying percentages. The strategy utilizes a combination of core strategic & rotational overweighting/underweighting of key holdings.

Optimus Eight Baskets Tactical Strategy:

This strategy already has a 10-year live track record among our private client base, but has been launched as a Separately Managed Account (SMA) now available to the public. The Eight Baskets Tactical Strategy allocates client assets among eight asset classes: U.S. Stocks; Foreign Stocks, U.S. Bonds, Foreign Bonds, Cash/Short-Term Bonds, Real Estate Investment Trusts, Commodities and Precious Metals. Client assets are invested in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and actively-managed Mutual Funds that represent the baskets in varying percentages. The strategy has a broad mandate and may use any combination of technical, economic, rotation & volatility measures. The percent allocation to each basket varies considerably.

For more information about the new strategies, please visit the Investment Strategies page http://www.optimusadvisory.com/investment-strategies/.

The Elevation Group Reveals Surprising Gold Hedging Strategy Most Investors are Not Aware Of













The Elevation Group


Austin, Texas (PRWEB) October 03, 2012

The Elevation Group, an Austin, Texas based alternative investment newsletter, recently discovered a strategy to help everyday investors hedge gold bullion against market volatility. To see a summary of this strategy, please click here.

Buying and holding onto gold bullion can put an investor through a roller coaster of emotions. This year has been especially hard with the dip and recovery. However, there are ways to invest in gold bullion without having to experience the volatility.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if you could buy gold anytime you wanted, and not have to worry about the price going down even if the spot price was going down?” asks Mike Dillard, founder of the Elevation Group. “There is a way you can make it happen… and it is a remarkably simple, yet effective way to “hedge” your physical gold. Our strategy will detail how to make this a reality.”

The biggest benefit to this technique is the simplicity. Users won’t have to hire an expensive hedge fund manager. Plus, once set up, the system almost runs automatically. You only need to make updates once a month.

“In fact, the system is so simple, one our staff has tested it with his 82 year old Mom…and it took her less than a minute to figure out and implement,” continues Mr. Dillard.

To view a summary of this strategy and watch the video presentation, please click here.

About the Elevation Group: This personal “Gold Hedge Fund” system is outlined in the member’s area of Elevation Group. The Elevation Group, however, has a lot more to offer than just a gold hedge technique. In fact, EVG offers its members instant access to 15 other wealth-building strategies designed to help families protect and grow their nest egg, even in the midst of an economic collapse.
