Welcome to Bank-CD-Rates.Net Blog. It only took 16 edits of the php files to update the theme. I still need to work on some of the text colors, but I figured I could start posting.
I've been working on the main site, www.bank-cd-rates.net for sometime. You can check out a preview at www . bank-cd-rates .net/preview.php. This link isn't activated because I don't really want the preview indexed. So just cut and paste the link into your browser bar and remove the spaces.
First, why another banking site? Mainly because although there are some good ones out there, there are also a lot of junk sites that are only there to redirect you elsewhere through Ads. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wanting to host some ads and earn some income. I have that goal to. But, I believe a site should have real content and actually provide a benefit beyond the superficial I believe the person managing the site should have some knowledge of the information and even some passion for the subject. That way, the site is a benefit to all.
Second, I know banking. I've been in the industry for almost a decade. I know many of the ins-and-outs of the banking world, especially when it comes to CD rates. I know where many of the best rates hide. I also know a little about SEO/SEM and as this site develops it will be come a great tool where investors and financial institutions can meet up on the information superhighway.
Finally, helping people find good rates is one of my passions. So is helping others make an income from the internet. This site will serve those two goals.
Why now? Honestly, I've spent many years building someone else's dream. Don't get me wrong, I did benefit, but at the end of the day it didn't belong to me. It was time to build my dream. If something were to happen to me, I want something there for my family.
I spend alot of time researching various methods for earning money on-line. During that search I ran into two sites that after a series of somewhat playful jabs basically agreed to put-up or shut-up. Their friendly competition gave me the motivation to get my site up and running. Although, I have a hard time fathoming making Millions on-line, I also ask myself, why not me? If I put some time and effort into this, it can earn some money.
No matter where you are or what you are currently doing, you can, too. Helping you learn some basic internet skills will be another goal of this site. After all, bringing you great rates is wonderful, but who doesn't want to earn a little more. Current 1-year CD rates are averaging about 3.60%. If you had a Jumbo CD (about $100,000) you would earn about $300 per month. You don't need a $100,000 though. With a little sweat equity, you can do it through the internet.
This post has become much longer than anticipated. For now, I leave you with links to the guys who gave me the final kick-in-the-pants. Hopefully, between the three of us, we can get you going, too. John Cow Dot Com and Garry Conn
