Information on how to inquire about receiving financial assistance with paying utility bills.

The economy is effecting the American people in many ways. The economic state of affairs shows no sign of improving any time soon and the unemployment rate is continuing to rise. This has caused financial hardship for many families, especially those with a family to support. There is help out there for those of you who may be having trouble meeting your monthly utility bills.

Depending on which state you live, many Electric & Gas companies offer several programs to consumers who are having difficulty paying their monthly utility bills. Many times these programs are not advertised, it is up to the consumer to inquire.

Some utility companies offer various programs ranging from low income assistance, yearly discounts on your total bill, and programs that will pay up to $1,000 of the consumers utility bill. You will have to show documentation of income etc in order to qualify.

An excellent place to start would be by calling the number listed on your monthly utility bill. You may have to wait a bit before speaking to a representative, be patient it is a busy time of year. Sometimes people are afraid to ask for help which is foolish. It is better to ask for help than end up having your Gas & Electric service disconnected.

Even if you don’t qualify for full financial assistance, if you agree to a payment arrangement the utility company will be more than happy to work with you and get the bill paid.

In addition to speaking with your utility company, you may want to contact your local senator or public assistance program in your area for additional information.

Americans can only hope and pray that the economy will improve at a future date. Until the economy improves there is help out there.

Donner, I think it’s possible for everyone in our network to generate $1,000 a month residuals based on Bukisa’s 3 tier system. I’m a businessman (I own 2 businesses aside from the internet marketing I do) so everything i do is by the numbers. Here’s how:

GOAL: $1,000 residual income for Amber every month from Bukisa.com

PLAN:
Step 1: Donner Own Content—50 articles x 1,000 views each is 50,000 views for Amber ($180 dollars for Donner)
Step 2: Donner invites 30 friends to join.  Each friend writes 50 articles. Each article has 1,000 views. 
        That’s 500,000 views. ($500 dollars for Donner)
Step 3: Donner’s 30 friends invite 60 friends total to join. Each of these friends writes 50 articles. Each of these articles
        has 1,000 views. That’s 600,000 views. ($150 for Donner)
Step 4:  The 60 friends invite 250 friends total to join (only 4 friends each). Each of these friends writes 50 articles. Each of these  
          articles has 1,000 views. That’s 2.5 million views. ($200 for Donner)
         
TOTAL REVENUE for Donner: $1,030 a month residual income (starting in February)

It will take some good marketing on ehow, associated content, bukisa, helium, blogs, myspace, facebook, etc., but it’s certainly possible to generate that kind of passive income every month. If you would like to talk more about it, email me at rweigel12@hotmail,com

Are you up to making an extra $1,000 plus a month?.....I know I am
