Protect your name and your credit

I am a huge fan of lifelock for the protection it offers in defending against ID theft.  I wanted to blog about Lifelock because I understand how important protecting your identity is.

You may remember quite a while ago it was all over the news that the Department of Veterans affairs had an employee loose a laptop with over 26 million veterans private data including social security numbers.  Well, I just happen to be a veteran and a bit later I got a letter in the mail from V.A. telling me that my name and data was indeed on that laptop but I should just keep an eye on things and that I really "had nothing to worry about".

Oh?  So V.A. sent 26 million letters even though I had nothing to worry about.  Not long after that I saw a commercial where the CEO of LifeLock gave his personal social security number out on the Fox News Channel.  That was it I signed up and I certainly recommend that you consider LifeLock to protect your identity.  If the government can loose a machine with my data on it, they can damn sure loose one with your's whether you are a veteran or not your data is on many computers and in some cases most assuredly incompetent hands.

LifeLock protects your identity and if the system fails it is backed up with a million dollar guarantee.  Between that and the CEO publishing his own social security number I am sold on it.

Protect your Assets

There are a lot of internet marketers out there that work really hard to build websites that produce money day in and day out.  In fact more today then ever.  I myself have income from many different projects even some of my early "failures" over time turned around and spit out some cash on occasion.

I also am either a partner in and or out right own several companies.  In addition I even have some investment property.  Hold on though this is not a brag about Jack Spirko post at all.  In fact what I am hoping is many of you are going, "so what I have done more then that myself" because what I want to suggest to those who are successful today is that you check out Donald Trumps new book on Asset Protection

I was actually given a copy of this book early by Josef Katz when we visited with Trump University in November.  I read it almost non stop on the plane back to Dallas.  No this isn't a motivational and fired up business book but it isn't dry by any means either.  I learned so many ways to protect what we have and have worked so hard for.  I learned how there are also people that basically sue for a living and how to be such a tough target that they generaly choose to ignore you.  In short I learned how to be wealthy and look penniless on paper. 

This is no "do it yourself" manual you will need to use attorneys and accounts etc. to do a lot of the things in this book but it will help you learn what to do, how to do it right and of course how to do it for less. 

Now would be the time to buy it as well because Trump U is pulling out all the stops to make this book a hit and push it up the Amazon Charts.  Check out this offer,

Taking a look at a Title Company Search Site

I recently checked out a website that helps people find title insurance companies with a search feature that works a lot like sites that search for things like Hotels, Telecommunications Providers, Airlines, etc. There was a lot of title insurance information on the site that was helpful.  For instance I did not know that title insuance is basicly an insurance policy that protects the lender and the property owner as well) against loss due to disputes over the ownership of a property and defects in the title that were not found in the search of the public record.  I just always saw it as one of those fees that the buyer pays to benefit the lender and the mortgage company

To me it seems that consumers have become accustomed to this model and it makes me wonder where else we might take that type of search feature as Internet Marketers.  I mean if a title insurance company can adapt a sort and search technology to better serve and inform users then there must be an opportunity in other niches.

So what interesting and unique types of search/sort/shopping sites can you think of that break outside of the normal places we expect to see them?  Or what opportunites can you think of for this type of search driven site can you think of that have yet to be utilized.
