OnlineBusiness.com Provides New Opportunities for Those Affected by the Pandemic

New York, NY (Press Release) – With unemployment rates continuing to rise in the US and many workplaces still not cleared for return due to the dangers of COVID-19, many people are looking to the digital space for further opportunities. 

And with the uptick in eCommerce transactions in the US where growth was a healthy 44% in 2020 more business opportunities abound for those who have been affected by the pandemic in ways that were unexpected. 

Spearheaded by a management team of over 50+ years of digital marketing experience, OnlineBusiness.com is looking to help those interested in finding those new opportunities in the digital space.

A quick search on Google Trends of the terms “start an online business” and “work from home” have seen a spike since the Pandemic which is unsurprising as many people were affected directly by the pandemic whether they lost their job, had an office closure and had more free time at home. 

There are also those who have worked in the gig economy prior to the crisis and are now realizing limited opportunities in the current times. This had led them to seek other avenues in the digital space to supplement their income.

“The Pandemic has had an effect on many businesses and livelihoods and what we want to do is help individuals who are looking to capitalize on this digital space opportunity to shortcut their way to building a brand,” said Patrick Santiago, VP of Strategic Partnerships.

“We have relied on digital technology to keep businesses (and our day to day) and industries afloat during these times such as zoom meetings, online food ordering, and grocery shopping. Building a brand these days must include a digital footprint,” continued Santiago.

OnlineBusiness.com provides business opportunities to obtain and acquire premium domain names and fully developed websites to help people find these opportunities and jump-start their business idea in any industry. It has allowed companies to jump-start by providing domains set up as a “Brand Starter”.

OnlineBusiness is led by three brothers who have been in the Digital space since 1998 with experience in many facets of the industry such as domain, affiliate marketing, Google Adwords, SEO, and most recently in the digital marketing space, specifically in public relations with the PR company, Newswire.com.

It has a domain and website portfolio of over 2,000 domains with a valuation of over $1m+. 

Some of their notable domain names currently in their portfolio include Napping.com, Energize.com, and 3DPrinted.com.

“OnlineBusiness.com started with a vision to cultivate all of our experiences into a company that helps transform lives the way it did for us, and during these times, we are glad to be able to be in a position to continue to assist those looking to start their online business,” said Michael Santiago, founder.

Jennifer Bradley Skincare Announces Beauty Product

blank

Jennifer Bradley Skincare introduces their new The Best DNA Repair Cream which is a deeply hydrating cream that has a very unique texture. It is not a super heavy cream, it is a bit thinner and it contains ingredients that are purported to promote the health of our cells, our DNA, specifically lengthening our Telomeres, hyaluronic acid, and it has a bonus ingredient that is a surprisingly powerful collagen booster, antioxidant, and is rich in minerals needed for greater moisture retention: Crushed Pearl

Every woman knows that not all makeup is created equal. Stores like Ulta and Sephora have mastered their advertising skills to make it seem that you need the newest additions to your makeup collection. However, there are lesser known companies that make great makeup such as Jennifer Bradley. According to one beauty website The average woman spends about $40 on makeup per month, but this can also include beauty supplies such as lotion.

When you’re walking around in the mall, it’s always tempting to step foot inside a store and get color matched, or get your eyebrows done by a beauty technician. As a huge a growing business in the US, it’s worth tracking how much money is being spent by women each month on these products.

And, let’s face it, everyone is at a different level when it comes to putting on makeup. Lots is being spent but the skills to do it right are in high demand. Fortunately you’ve got experts like Jennifer Bradley who are to help us out.

 “Pearls are a potent antioxidant that help restore your body’s super-critical enzymes and reduce peroxidation. Pearls also contain polysaccharides, 17 amino acids, more than 30 trace minerals and vital proteins which help stimulate the body’s regeneration of collagen (which is what keeps your skin looking youthful) according to their website.

Founder Jennifer Bradley states,” There has been a definite need amongst my clients to have a much richer moisturizer, something that will quench the thirst of the driest skin, and yes, we always want younger, firmer, more radiant skin. I knew I wanted to add crushed pearl to the product, but when I heard about the latest studies on Telomeres, my interest was definitely piqued. When I tested the actual ingredient in another company’s product, I actually saw that the ingredient did something extraordinary for my skin, yet it was so expensive.”

For two years Jennifer Bradley and a lab has worked directly with one of the Nobel prize winning scientists who pioneered this research developed this cream.

Nebraska Company Announces Covid Testing Platform

On one side are millions of Americans suffering from Covid or who need to be tested.

 

On the other side is safe and secure testing and peace of mind.

 

In the middle is a company on a mission.

 

PEI of Omaha is dedicated to helping others get through this pandemic.

 

It is clear the pandemic of 2020 is continuing well into 2021. Vaccines are rolling out as the virus continues to change into new variants, and the new normal of social distancing, limited contact and crowds continues to dominate most every aspect of daily life.

As U.S. authorities and medical personnel work to contain the coronavirus pandemic, the number of total cases is growing across the country at different rates. The factors are many, from when the disease first broke out in a place to the testing capabilities and the different stay-at-home orders in each state.

 

·        Reports of new cases have leveled off in the last week, with an average of 65,000 to 70,000 announced each day.

·        Fewer than 50,000 coronavirus patients are hospitalized nationwide, according to the Covid Tracking Project, below the peak numbers from last spring and summer.

·        Northeastern states continue to report some of the country’s worst outbreaks. New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island lead the nation in recent cases per capita.

·        The coronavirus has moved across the country in distinct phases, devastating one region, then another.

·        Variants are spreading rapidly in the United States, raising concerns about the path ahead.

·        The Northeast experienced the worst last spring, as temporary morgues were deployed in New York City. Over the summer, cases spiked across the Sun Belt, prompting many states to tighten restrictions just weeks after reopening. 

They announced their Rapid On Demand Portable Medical Platforms. (ROD PMP)

ROD PMP is a lightweight composite structure that saves weight and operates in harsh environments while meeting demanding performance requirements. Configurations in walk up and drive-through available

Financing available for companies hurt with the pandemic and can’t get funding from traditional lenders

It is clear the pandemic of 2020 is continuing well into 2021. Vaccines are rolling out as the virus continues to change into new variants, and the new normal of social distancing, limited contact and crowds continues to dominate most every aspect of daily life. Sadly, for some businesses this has not been sustainable, and many have closed as a consequence. Larger, more established businesses have maintained stability on virtue of size and capital. Some businesses are in limbo while waiting for the pandemic to pass or fall to manageable levels for continued commerce.

This means many businesses are struggling with the basics – payroll, taxes, rent and more. For these businesses, there is a solution with Sayfer Broker. Their team is committed to establishing solid relationships with clients, lenders, and partners. By providing the best financing solutions available to business owners while creating a positive association with business financing. Through our streamlined process, revolutionary technology and educated team of experts, we support business owners ability to create new opportunities. Sayfer Broker is proud to empower the heartbeat of our country, our small businesses.

Sayfer Broker is your reliable, trusted source for the working capital you need to sustain, grow, enrich and enhance your business

Thousands of business owners received the financing they need to take their business to the next level. Apply today and grow your business with an Unsecured Business Loan and bad credit is ok with no personal guarantee or collateral required.

Most companies working with Sayfer Broker will get approved

They have a very high approval rate because of our unique way of providing Unsecured Business Loans and it’s possible to receive your funds in one day.

The company loans $6 million per month to small businesses and this provides peace of mind and stability in what is proving to be a much more difficult time than many could have predicted.

 Unless your business has the balance sheet of Amazon, eventually you will probably need access to capital through business financing. In fact, even many large-cap companies routinely seek capital infusions to meet short-term obligations. For small businesses, finding the right funding model is vitally important. Take money from the wrong source and you may lose part of your company or find yourself locked into repayment terms that impair your growth for many years into the future.

Before applying, make sure all business records are complete and organized. If the bank approves your loan request, it will set up payment terms, including interest. If the process sounds a lot like the process you have gone through numerous times to receive a bank loan, you are right.

Howling Assistant Launches US-Based Project Managers & Bilingual Virtual Assistants Service

blank

Florida, U.S.A — Gone are the days that small and medium sized businesses need to hire full time administrators or full time marketers. Also gone are the days that businesses can operate a business exclusively off-line. When quality work matters so much — yet so does the bottom line — it makes sense for businesses to maximize organizational output while minimizing financial output by considering a virtual assistant service.

Howling Assistant is a new virtual assistant company and its launch comes as a solution to the needs of so many SMBs who don’t have the budget to hire full time administrators yet can’t compromise on quality or efficiency, either. While there are other virtual assistant programs on the market, Howling Assistant’s main differentiator to its competitors is that it offers U.S.-based project managers, and it offers bilingual service in Spanish and English to help its clients connect to the Hispanic market in the U.S.

Howling Assistant not only offers administrative support to its clients, but it also acts as a one-stop shop for SMBs. SMBs can choose to take advantage of other areas of support like email marketing, CRM management, lead generation, web development and social media content creation amongst a host of other services. If a business were to hire a full time staff person or hire an agency, these roles could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 or more per month. A subscription to Howling Assistant starts at a modest $250 and packs considerable value.

blank

“When we were managing our social media in-house, it was all about keeping the pages alive with weekly posts” says Martin Brady, managing director and Howling Assistant client, “Howling Assistant has now shown us how effective communities can be for our growing business.”

While social media management is just one task Howling Assistant can manage for its clients, the ability to reach the public in both English and Spanish through its bilingual service is an advantage that helps SMBs engage with even larger publics.

blank

For SMBs considering the program, the Howling Assistant customer service program is also worth reviewing. Each client receives a dedicated U.S.-based project manager who helps create a strategy and ensure tasks are completed effectively and efficiently.  SMB managers are also able to access Howling Assistant customer service  24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ask questions and get answers, fast.

The launch of Howling Assistant’s bilingual, U.S.-based project managers and virtual assistants is much needed in a time where so many businesses are making the transition online and have had to navigate a much different economy in 2020 and 2021.

HBCU Heroes Teams Up With Verizon Media to Host FREE HBCU “Get-That-Job-Fest” on Friday, March 12, 2021

ATLANTA — HBCU Heroes, a non-profit (501C3) founded by marketing CEO, Tracey Pennywell and NBA veteran, George Lynch, is partnering with Verizon Media to host “Get That Job,” an exclusive virtual event on Friday, March 12 at 1 pm EST to support Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) students seeking corporate jobs and internships. Registration is free and now open, visit  https://hbcuheroesinsidetrack.splashthat.com/.

The mission is to empower HBCU students with concrete advice to compete for internships and careers at Verizon Media, its subsidiaries (including AOL, Yahoo News, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Life & Entertainment, and more), as well as in corporate America. Registration is open to all HBCU students, alumni, and the general public.

After leading North Carolina to an NCAA championship in 1993, Lynch was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 12th overall pick in that year’s NBA draft. He played in the 2000 NBA Finals.

Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the intention of primarily serving the African-American community. Most of these institutions were founded in the years after the American Civil War and are concentrated in the Southern United States.

The number of total students enrolled at an HBCU rose by 32% between 1976 and 2019, from 223,000 to 293,000. In comparison, total enrollment in degree-granting institutions nationwide increased by 81%, from 11 million to 20 million, during the same period.

HBCUs have a rich legacy of matriculating many leaders in the fields of business, law, science, education, military service, entertainment, art, and sports. This list of alumni includes people such as Martin Luther King Jr., who began his studies at Morehouse College, Oprah Winfrey attended Tennessee State University to pursue a broadcasting career. W. E. B. Du Bois attended Fisk University from 1885 to 1888.  

Kamala Harris, the first black Vice President, received her bachelor’s degree from Howard University.  Michael Strahan attended Texas Southern University. Thurgood Marshall graduated from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and Howard University School of Law. 

Spike Lee enrolled in Morehouse College, where he made his first student film. He took film courses at Clark Atlanta University and graduated with a BA in mass communication from Morehouse and Astronaut Dr. Ronald McNair graduated from North Carolina A&T State University.
