More about Community-based Health CentersWe all know a nation’s wealth is determined by the health and well-being of its citizens. Community health centers across the country provide special care for everyone irrespective of their ability to pay. Their main aim is to provide continued, high quality and affordable healthcare to people especially those with fewer resources. Actually, one in every fifteen people living in the United States relies on their services. Even though these organizations face tremendous pressure, they still rank among the highest quality health providers in the nation in view of their critically important role.The Importance of National Health Center WeekThere are people out there who either have no insurance or live in areas with no access to healthcare providers or even basic health services. National Health Centre Week is observed each year in the second week of August mainly to raise awareness and recognize health centers and their dedicated service and contributions to the community. Why August? Because it is the perfect time to reach out to families with compelling summer health events and back-to-school immunizations for their kids. This year, National Health Center Week takes place August 13-19 and the theme is “Celebrating America’s Health Centers: The Key to Healthier Communities”. It is time to appreciate the great work of these people for providing better healthcare to the medically vulnerable.Support Activities to Raise AwarenessCommunity health organizations across the nation will be posting their events under state listings on the National Association of Community Health Centers Week Events Map and attending any of these events gives you the chance to be part of something unique.

Do you want to know the secrets of successful internet marketers? Successful internet marketers are like professional athletes. They are the “crème de la crème” of the internet marketing world. Even though they may not seem famous and highly acclaimed as you think they should, they’re still the best of what they do. If you ever hear of someone making $2,000 per month online, and you look at them as if they are amateurs – you’re besides yourself.Do you know how hard it is to make $2,000 per month online? Some people would sacrifice their left pinky toe to have $2,000 per month automatically coming in. That’s why the failure rate of businesses online is so high. But successful internet marketers know that there is massive work involved, and you can’t look at internet marketing as if it’s a lottery drawing.Most people online who have been trying to make money for years believe that if they can get the best copywriter… the best product… or the best marketing consultant, that they can make $10,000 in month instantly. That’s just not true. For 98% of the people selling online, their chances of making $10,000 in one month will indeed come from the lottery. But successful internet marketers know that success online is not a “hit or miss” kind of thing.As a successful internet marketer myself, I can tell you that true success comes from planning. You have to know your numbers, you have to be diligent and persistent with your marketing, and your paid advertising has to make sense – and also bring in high quality traffic. I want to share with you why this is important, and why successful internet marketers have all of these things in common. Take a look at this:1) Successful internet marketers take their work seriouslyNow I just mentioned above that successful people online know their numbers, are persistent, and know that their marketing makes sense. Because of this, they plan ahead with a daily marketing agenda that will help them to reach all 3 of these goals all at the same time. Let me ask you: Before you invested a dime into paid advertising, have you ever took a look at your competition and investigated the nuts and bolts of their operation?Sometimes to be a successful internet marketer, you have to play customer. You have to buy your competitors’ product, see how good the product is, and take notice at how they market to you over and over again to get more sales from you. If you want to copy your competitors’ and have the successful business that they have, you can’t just do some of the things that they are doing… you have to do ALL of the things that they are doing.If they have a online help desk system, you need that. If they have a phone support team, you need that. If they’re selling online as well as offline to prospects and customers, you need to do that also. Don’t think that these people just woke up one day, threw up an ad an somewhere and instantly became successful. It doesn’t work that way. Most people who try to copy their competitors have no idea what they’re doing. So plan ahead and have all of these things ready to go the next time you want to copy a rival in your niche to make money.2) Successful internet marketers have a routineDo you have a daily marketing routine, or do you wake up everyday browsing other peoples’ websites and reading their site? You will never get anywhere by operating like this. A lot of people do this simply because they have no idea of what to do! They’ve read countless books, courses, emails, articles and still have no clue as of what to do NEXT. What you need to do is develop an internet marketing routine that can be executed daily like clockwork.This means that you should go and create yourself a daily marketing plan on a simply text file on your computer. And every single day when you wake up – or when you normally do your marketing – follow each step exactly daily. This is essential because you’re more likely to make money and see results of your business if you write a plan out first, and then visually follow it everyday.So yes, the internet marketer that’s making $2,000 per month online has a daily marketing routine. If you were to take a look at the inside of their operations, you would see tons of content being produced, ads tracked and analyzed, free marketing being implemented, and a time span of when all of this is supposed to be done. You don’t want to spend 12 hours per day in front of your computer trying to do every trick in the world.A lot people enjoy buying “bulk submitters” because they think it will simplify their marketing and bring them massive instant results. And more than likely, I’m pretty sure you’ve tried your hand at these bulk submitters also. But these bulk submitters won’t do anything for you, plus… they’re not 100% automatic! Even though they advertise that they are!Don’t rely on products like these to do your marketing. It won’t get you anywhere and it won’t give you the results that you’re looking for. And it won’t get you the results because websites and companies are constantly cracking down on these idiotic products, and banning people from their platform who get caught using them. If you’re submitting low quality work and information everyday, how will that benefit your targeted prospect? Why should they view you as an obvious expert in your niche if you’re putting out low quality information? Does that make sense to you? It sure doesn’t to me.If you want to be a successful internet marketer, you need to take these words to heart. Change the way that you are doing things and start implementing all of the CORRECT advice that you read. Don’t do it half-way. Do it exactly as shown online with what is said, shown, and read. This way you will know that you did each technique 100% correctly, and you did the best that you could.

When you’re buying individual health insurance, you’ll probably get overwhelmed by the prices and options of health plans online. Health insurance is now one of the more expensive items in the budgets of many people, but it can also be one of the best decisions you make if you have some know-how selecting the right health plan for you and your family. Here I will give you the 3 Essential Tips that I advise my clients to use when purchasing individual health coverage.Tip 1: Do not take health insurance advice from someone that is totally unqualified to give you this advice!!I cannot stress this enough. It amazes me how many sensible people take advice about what health insurance to choose from people who are totally unqualified to give you this critical advice. For example, when I see health insurance messes, (which I see virtually every day) and I ask where they got their health plan information, I inevitably hear things like: “My brother-in- law told me to choose this health plan, he used to work at the hospital.” or “I read an article that says this is the best plan available.” And so on. Everyone’s got an opinion about what health plan you should choose. Just because they are your relative, or involved in some area of health care totally unrelated to insurance, does not mean they know the answers to your individual needs and questions! Work with an insurance specialist BEFORE the problems come up! You have no idea how many clients I have worked with come to me after they chose a health plan online and then have an insurance coverage issue and expect me to fix it, I want to tell them: you should have come to me for help before! Most insurance specialists get paid through insurance carriers, so their services are free to you. USE THEM!!Tip 2: Determine your actual needs.The three things to keep in mind when determining your needs are: budget, patterns of doctor and hospital visits, and prescription drug usage. Ask yourself these questions: How frequently do you visit your doctor? Do you go for checkups only or do you go for sick visits? How many times have you been in the hospital in the past 2 years? Do you take regular prescriptions? What are they? Generic or Brands? This is another area where most of my clients neglect. It is not possible to have maximum coverage in all of these areas in any affordable way, maximum coverage for the doctor and hospital plus prescriptions leaves a dent in the budget. However, most health insurance plans offer more than one version of the same plan. For example, say you have “health plan A” that offers maximum coverage for the doctor, maximum coverage for the hospital, and maximum coverage for your prescription drugs. But “health plan A” costs the same as your mortgage. The good news is “Health Plan A” most likely also has customizable options, meaning if after analyzing your needs, you discover that you rarely visit a hospital, you could change “health plan A’ s” hospital coverage to moderate or even minimal which will bring down the premium a great deal. If these options are confusing to you, again, a health insurance specialist will be able to help you. They are already aware of “health plan A’ s” customizable features and can match your needs to the appropriate version of “health plan A”. A health insurance specialist also has access to versions of health plans that aren’t available as options to the average consumer buying health insurance online.Tip 3: Resist the urge to over-insure!!After you’ve analyzed your needs, resist the urge to over-insure! One of the most common health insurance messes I see is over-insurance. People think that if they have maximum coverage for doctors, hospitals, and prescriptions, they have “good” insurance. The truth is, most people who will be approved for individual health insurance won’t need all this coverage. Two things I advise my clients to be aware of: Health Care Reform and Stop-Loss. First, Health Care Reform allows for preventive care services to be covered at 100%. For example, if you only get checkups, why enroll in the plan with 100% doctor’s visit coverage? Enroll in the plan with a lower premium and pay a $10 copay for your sick visit. The difference in premium with this small detail is $100′s of dollars! Furthermore, some of these “maximum coverage” health insurance plans exclude things like pregnancy. The last thing you want to do is pay a small fortune for “good” health insurance only to discover it won’t cover something you need it for! Second, most health insurance plans have a stop-loss built into them which basically states that when your out-of-pocket costs reach a certain amount, the plan will cover you at 100% for all services. And you don’t need the “maximum coverage” plan for this benefit. Your health insurance specialist can even customize this stop-loss amount!Then, select your plan after following My 3 Essential Tips:1. Do not take health insurance advice from someone unqualified to offer this advice. Seek a health insurance specialist, they have studied and are licensed to offer this advice and they’re free to you. USE THEM!!2. Consider your actual needs. Ask yourself questions so you know what your specific health plan needs are, that way you can make sure you select a plan that meets them. After all, if you don’t know what you actually need in a plan, how will you know if you’ve come across the right fit?3. Resist the urge to over-insure! Health Care Reform has changed how many plans work and you may be able to receive ample or superlative coverage without over-insuring. And most importantly, without the hefty premiums!There you have it, online health insurance shoppers! I hope this was helpful!
