Electronics Sourcing North America, a publication providing vital information about the North American electronic distribution market, has recognized 4 Star Electronics as the #10 independent distributor in 2010.

ESNA reports that the supply chain faced challenges in 2010, as distributors struggled to keep up with demand while extended lead times and allocations from component manufacturers weighed heavily on the industry. Due to their geographic expansions and investments in quality, global sales for the top 10 independent distributors grew by $ 172.2 million to reach a total of $ 1.75 billion. 4 Star Electronics had annual sales in 2010 of over $ 18 million dollars, while investing heavily in equipment and technology to improve anti-counterfeit capabilities.

?Due to the economic state of the world, companies are uncertain about factory supply levels and consumer demand for their products. These uncertainties create shortages and when there are shortages there are counterfeiters looking to take advantage of desperate buyers. We are here to make sure the parts our customers receive are authentic and help them make strategic buys to avoid the pitfalls of shortages?, says Jake Wilson, COO of 4 Star Electronics, Inc.

4 Star Electronics strives to develop strong, long-term relationships with their customers, and believes that the most important factor in sustaining these relationships is investing in counterfeit detection equipment and the continued refinement of quality control processes.

Fees include the currency exchange rate, which is the difference of the money value from one area to another. Another fee is the commission for the transferring company. Some charge according to the money amount sent and this include the exchange rate. They often provide an exchange rate that benefits them and not the customer. Using a bank will ensure a fair exchange rate and they often provide discounts or wave fees when their customers use them for money transfers abroad.

Imagine a friend or love one is in Brazil. They could be visiting there, they could have moved there or it could be their native home. A need comes about and they need some money. Perhaps it is to pay a bill or to help with an emergency. Well, there are many options for these situations and more coming about every day to help send money.

Banks offer an option when it comes to transfer money, including an international service. Wire transfers have been used for decades and are evolving with technology. If both parties have a bank account with a particular bank and that bank has a branch in the area where money needs to be sent then there is no problem. Otherwise it could cause difficulty for a money transfer transaction. Investigate all the possibilities when looking into using a bank for money transfers. Nevertheless, if they can accomplish this service then banks usually offer fees being waived or provide a discount.

Other options are available as well for transfer money. Someone can send money to someone else using special codes. This code is given to the receiver allowing them to obtain the money. A security code is often used by both parties to allow this option of sending money to work. Security is tight with this form of money transferring to help reduce the risk of criminal activity.

Even modern technology has increased to help create an easy and quick process for transfer money down the road and in another country. Using the internet is a way to perform many tasks easily from home, such as contacting family and friends as well as paying bills. Sending money online is a popular service provided not only by banks, but other money transfer services. Still there are other technology options being considered. Cell phones are being used throughout the world and money transferring services are considering this fact. Cell phone providers globally are providing applications that allow one cell phone owner to send money to another person’s cell phone. This option is planned to be another change in sending money and perhaps improve the process even more.

When cell phones begin to use to transfer money is fully up and running one person types in the money amount to send to the recipient. Next they hit the send button. The concept is related to using pre-paid cell phones. A person can add minutes to a phone from anywhere in the world and the same will be true with sending money. This option is in the final stages of approval. It is also in the process of making it work internationally. There are some banks already beginning to use it. This option for sending money will allow this action to be as easy as making a call.

No matter what way is used when transferring money it is vital to consider the service. Check that it is reputable and has a record to review.

Make Money Online Filling Out Surveys

Are you looking for a legitimate way to make money online? Maybe you want some extra spending money. Or perhaps you need the money to pay bills.

Getting paid for filling out simple surveys or as a seller on eBay, or having a percentage of any sale that you can generate, could be your next way to get your extra income

Filling Out Surveys?Surveys are cool. You may have the chance to find out about new products long before they actually become available in stores. You might get to play video games that haven’t even been released yet. And you might get to watch trailers for movies that haven’t even finished filming yet. And the best part: you get paid for your “efforts.”

That’s because paying for you to take surveys is the quickest and easiest way for a company to get the information and feedback they need. And believe it or not, even when they pay thousands of people several dollars each for fill it in even one quick survey, it’s cheaper (and more effective) for them than many other forms of market research. And it’s way cheaper than making a costly mistake.

Remember the NEW Coke? What a disaster that was! And it would have been so easy to prevent. All they had to do was ask people what they thought of the idea and they would have known better than to mess with a tried and true formula.

But noooo. The company executives thought they knew what was best – and they fell flat on their face.

So surveys can be essential for a company’s survival. And they know it and are willing to pay for it. So why not let them pay you?

So, are you looking for a legitimate way to make money online? Maybe you want some extra spending money. Or perhaps you need the money to pay bills. Either way, getting paid for filling out simple surveys can be a fun and lucrative way to earn that extra cash.

In fact, there’s quite a lot of money to be had – and the cool thing is that you can earn it in your spare time. Any time you can spare a few minutes – or a few hours, you can make money.

It’s easy too. Once you have signed up with the right survey companies, all you have to do is check your email and pick the best surveys, and you’re off to earning money every time you fill in the blanks.

some usefull tipsAre you ready for some tips and tricks on how to make money from online surveys? Well then you’re reading the right article. I’ll be covering how to make money taking online surveys and how to make the most money from paid surveys.

Let me start by giving you some tips so you don’t make the most common mistakes that most new people make when they first start taking paid surveys.

Most surveys that you take will actually be disguised lead generators. In other words the company that has listed a survey within a paid survey listing site could care less about your answers. All they really want is your email address and or telephone number so they can hit you with sales pitch after sales pitch. Some do pay you for true market research but not the majority. Don’t let this scare you off. I am going to tell you how to protect yourself while still making money.

First run to your favorite free email provider and setup several email accounts that you will not care when they get spammed to death. Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail work perfectly fine. The only time you will really need to check these email accounts is if you have to confirm an email. Other than that you will just need to login to them on occasion and clear them out so you don’t bounce back any emails because of a full inbox.

If you are going to take surveys that require you to enter a telephone number you will want to setup a disposable telephone number also. Just search the web and you can find many companies that will give you a free telephone number that automatically goes to voice mail. Don’t forget to login to the accounts you setup and clear out your voice mails so callers don’t receive a voice mail box full message.

To make the most money from taking online surveys you will want to sign up for as many companies that offer paid surveys as you have time for. Just make sure you do a little searching on a search engine about each company. You want to see if people are happy with them or if people are having payment problems from them. Most survey companies are legitimate, but one pops up every now and then just to rip people off. They offer legitimate paid surveys but never pay anyone and run off with the money that the companies paid them to find people like you to take the surveys.

Now that I have shown you a little on how to make money from online surveys it’s time for you to start researching each company you find and start taking those money making surveys.

Want to get started right away? Visit www.simple-ways-to-make-money-online.com and enter your details (It’s a Free Service) and you will start receiving surveys to fill out and start earning.

And if you’re wondering why anyone would care about your opinion, let alone pay you good money for it, read on. There’s a reason why you can make real money with surveys:

Countless companies, including the largest international corporations, are desperately trying to find out what consumers want. And they’re willing to pay a whole lot of money for market research.

But they still have a problem. How can they connect with you, the consumer? It’s not all that easy, so they hire survey companies to help them find out what people think about their products and what they would be most likely to buy in the future. They also want to know what it will take to get people to buy.

And if you sign up, you’ll become part of that cutting edge market research.

Now you’re probably wondering what it will take to connect with those big companies and get paid for sharing your opinion?

All you have to do is find the right surveys. And the easiest way to do that is to join a club that specializes in helping consumers like you and me to hook up with the surveys that pay the most money.

And the best one of those clubs we have found is a website called SurveyMastermind. Unlike a lot of other survey sites out there, it’s a Free Service. Not only that, but they also specialize in connecting you with surveys that actually pay. And as soon as you join and sign up with the companies they recommend, you will start receiving surveys to fill out and start earning.

Is making money with surveys difficult?

Not at all. You just need to be able to answer a few simple questions and fill in some details, and you’re ready to earn a nice income from taking online surveys and helping companies with their market research.

How do I pick the right survey sites?

Start by joining a survey club that will connect you with the best sites. After all, how much you can earn will depend on which survey sites you sign up for. Some of those sites will pay you money every time you fill out a survey, while others use more of a sweepstakes approach, and offer cash and prize draws to those who fill out their surveys.

SurveyMastermind will help you find survey sites that pay cash for surveys. Many other sites mostly send you surveys that offer prizes and points, so you need to be careful.

No matter which site you sign up for, though, they ultimately all work the same way. You tell them your basic information and then they start sending you surveys whenever they become available.

However, the quality of the surveys you get can vary widely. That’s why SurveyMastermind is so helpful. They pre-screen the actual survey sites for you and steer you to the ones that pay the most, and away from those that just waste your time.

How will it work?

First you join SurveyMastermind. Then, you’ll get access to a list of pre-screened survey companies which in turn will send you the surveys.

You sign up for several of those companies and fill out your profile with as much information as you can. This will help the site in deciding which surveys to send to whom.

Do all survey companies pay cash?

No they don’t. SurveyMastermind will be sure to steer you towards survey companies that have lots of cash-paying surveys and away from those that don’t.

How much can I earn?

The amount you will receive for each survey or market research exercise varies between sites and countries, and it depends on the amount of time each one will take you. One site pays between and which is about average, although most surveys will be at the lower end of the scale. Of course, you can fill in several surveys per hour, so the earnings can add up.

Can I answer the surveys any time I want?

Yes you can. However, you should know that you’re usually competing with other survey takers. Each survey may only need to be answered by a set number of people and they often send it to more than is needed to make sure they get enough replies. The sooner you can complete each one and send it back, the better – and the faster your money will add up too.

Is there anything else I need to know?

Make sure you set up a new email account purely for use with your survey sites. After all, you will be getting lots of emails to plough through, and you don’t want them all going into your normal accounts. That way, you won’t have to sort through them to find your personal email. You also don’t risk missing a potentially lucrative survey in an inbox full of personal email.

Price Wars Get Heated

Business travel bookings among Australian companies are down 36% due to the rationalising of corporate travel during the global financial crisis and swine flu pandemic.

Tourism technology provider, Amadeus, reports that European destinations have been the worst hit (25%), followed by North America (22%) and the Asia-Pacific (12%).

But according to corporate travel management company, BCD Travel, Australian companies can cut corporate travel costs without cutting back so severely on corporate travel flights.

Companies could instead revise and enforce their corporate travel policies more tightly, introduce an online booking engine (OBE) with self-booking travel tools to ensure compliance among staff and set up better quality reporting to monitor their business travel.

The corporate travel agency also recommends taking best fares of the day for flights and transfers instead of locking in a deal with one carrier and car hire company in 2009.

One thing leads to another as the price wars begin…

At a time when companies across Australia are frantically cutting costs to offset the impact of the global financial crisis, business travel is getting cheaper as major airline carriers go head to head on popular corporate travel routes such as Sydney to Los Angeles.

Four carriers are now flying from Sydney to LA following Delta Airlines and V Australia’s entry into the trans-Pacific sector, with flights expected to go as low as 0 one way before tax, according to US analyst Rick Seaney of Fare Compare.

A Flight Centre survey shows international fares are more than 0 cheaper on average compared to five years ago. The Sydney to Los Angeles business travel route is now 41% cheaper than in 2004. Corporate travellers flying from Sydney to Bangkok are now flying for 29% less, according to the survey.

Airfares are now cheaper than ever before – providing much needed relief for organisations requiring staff to undertake regular corporate travel. However, current corporate travel fares are not sustainable for carriers and prices will likely rise, experts say.

Other developments: First aid kits for business travel?

Travel management company, BCD Travel, recommends first aid kits for corporate travellers flying abroad, particularly those business travellers flying to emerging market destinations such as South America and India.

The type of kit you need depends largely on your destination and your personal requirements, according to the corporate travel management company.

BCD Travel Sales Director, Stephen Finlay, suggests corporate travellers visit a specialised travel medicine clinic to seek advice on what to include in their light weight first aid kit.

Travel medicine specialist, Dr Trish Batchelor, who is based in Ho Chi Minh’s International SOS clinic, recently provided this advice to readers of her news.com.au online column:

“If you are sticking to major cities a basic kit will suffice, however, if you are intending to visit more remote or high altitude areas you should be more thoroughly prepared.

“A good kit should have essential first aid items including a thermometer, bandage, a variety of dressings, antiseptic and scissors. It should also cover common health problems faced by travellers such as diarrhoea and respiratory tract infections.

“Painkillers, cough and cold medication, rehydration solution, Imodium and an antibiotic for traveller’s diarrhoea (Noroxin is best) would constitute a basic kit.

“If you are venturing further off the beaten track you should add in a general antibiotic for skin and respiratory infections, an antibiotic for parasites and possibly treatment for altitude sickness (for parts of South America).”
