Money Management – 5 Helpful Tips for Money Management

• BBR Productions Inc : Money Management – 5 Helpful Tips for Money Management

Money needs to be managed to maintain a growth of savings and wealth. Spending money takes away from having money to spend. Learn to spend money on essentials to allow organizing income over expense for later investments. These five tips on Money Management will guide the flow to wealth.

1) Download a Budgeting APP into the phone. As money is spent or earned, keep recorded directly and instantly into the APP. This habit building activity will make any individual aware of money in and out and keep them under CAP of that budget.

2) Spend less than you save. A simple idea with major benefits. If the money is not there to spend, then don't spend it. Save money, and forget about it until the time is right. Your budget should help maintain a controlled expense.

3) For unforeseen expenses, adjust by taking smaller portions into consideration. If new tires each year cost $400 ($100 a tire), divide that by 12 months, which equals $33.33 a month. This can be placed into the car expense, waiting for the day tires are needed.

4) Place CAPS on your bank account so no more than 'X' amount of money can be withdrawn. Or take out the weekly amount and keep the cash handy. If need be, take the cash out weekly and place it into a separate account (like a personal stipend). Or entrust money to a personal Treasurer.

5) Place financial goals in writing. Know how much saving leads to a 'Safety Net', how much will pay off debt over five years, keep a record of which investments will make sense in three to five years. Seeing these goals written how set up SMART Goals for security, growth, and your dream!

Content vs Experience – 5 Helpful tips on Content vs Experience

• BBR Productions Inc : Content vs Experience – 5 Helpful tips on Content vs Experience

1) If you are doing it for attention, stop : It sounds like an oxymoron but doing it for yourself pushes potential new audience members away. A Brand has a message and a voice it wants to spread. Simply spread that Brand in a natural way. Others will find it and connect to it if it is truthful.

2) What did you do and/or learn today? : This is experience. Spreading the emotion connected this mindset pushes a Brand's experience and allows an audience to follow along on that journey. Giving them something they can relate to. “Check this out” is not relatable.

3) James Franco Instagram (Poetry vs selfies) : Having a PhD and a MFA for English / Poetry, and being a published poet, it would almost make sense to push poetry. Well on Instagram his selfies of him involved or experiencing gets more interaction than his poetry posts. His poetry is “Check this out”.

4) Selfies are not experience : What is going on in an image with a person front and center helps a Brand. It tells a story. More importantly, what is written along with said photo image is just as Brand related. Let both a message and an image speak a thousand words together.

5) Vague and mysteries of a proactive lifestyle : “Had an amazing time tonight before, during and after the stage”. It says a lot at the same time it keeps it interesting enough to make certain people of a Brand become moved to ask – “You performed tonight!?, Where?” and thus a conversation!

• BBR Productions Inc : Time Management : 5 ways to stay on course

Stay on target, stay on course. Life is in the hands of time. These five helpful techniques are slightly outside the box ways to stay on course.

1. Lists: A list of tasks are the guideline to success. Getting lost in the day is a sign of being lost in what to do. A list will organize what is necessary to start on. Mark next to each task a start time and end time. Giving a specific mini-SMART Goal.

2. Folder System: A nice bundle of physical folders to place work loads inside. Label each folder with a grouped name for tasks. Lay them on top of one another and go through them in a timely fashion. Follow the thirty to sixty minute rule of time restraint.

3. Your time is the right time: Work inside the hours which make you most productive. If the morning sun motivates action then get up early and enjoy the workload. If the beautiful starry night is most conducive then boom that out under the moonlight sky!

4. Side tracked: Turn off the phones, the computer need not be hooked up to a social media site, and keep the music to a minimum. Focus the mind toward the goal at hand. Stopping every so often keeps a brain from getting on task.

5. Sleep is good: Bed time rest is one thing, a good night sleep is another. The mind must be rested up nicely to keep focused. A tired mind is a weary mind. Six to eight hours sounds correct but the truth is that every person is different. Find your sleep pattern and maintain a healthy sleep cycle!

Marketing Correctly – 5 Does to help with Marketing Correctly

• BBR Productions Inc : Marketing Correctly – 5 Does to help with Marketing Correctly

When in doubt, remember these 5 wonderfully helpful tips to Marketing Correctly. Keep in mind, marketing is not about what you are selling. It is about selling a relationship with your audience and the Brand.

1. If you do not like something then most likely others will not like it either: How often do you find yourself not liking a post on Facebook of someone asking you to come to a show? Or, do you think the “buy this now” phrase is a tad much!? Truth is, if you don't like how you are being marketed to, than most likely others don't like that method either. So why market the same way?

2. Simple means easy to remember: Keep marketing to the point. No need to add every single detail on an advertizement. The important stuff is the easy stuff. Name, Slogan, Brand, Item, Website. Anything outside of those things is glutinous. A person might want to publicizes they designed the poster themselves, or create the item, maybe even booked the event. Too much is too much.

3. Keep your emotions out of it: Of course you love the design of the idea! You came up with it. Have others look into your marketing ideas, designs, and campaigns. A third party, or parties, opinions can help direct an emotional mind. Listen to, and write down, everything these people say. Not everything is going to be valid, but it is all valuable. You created it, now let others guide you.

4. Lay it down throw it out; A hand full of Business Cards, Post Cards, or even little 4x6 fliers are useless if left in one place. Be personable and hand it out in conversation. Yes, it takes longer, but the time placed into people builds the relationship interest. It is not always about how many people you can hand something to, but how many people you can get to remember a “friend” gave it to them.

5. Long Term Marketing: Dating advertisements is a rich man's game. Why? Because in the scheme of all that is marketing, you have to place a lot of money into reintroducing new ideas to audience members when you change the date / information. For practical lower budget marketing strategies, keep to marketing the Brand. Your website is the See me, Hear me, Touch me, Taste me and Buy me!
