Is Online Business Alliance (OBA) a Scam?

How many times have you surfed the Internet looking for business opportunities and found websites which promise you the sky overnight?

OBA belongs to this online wild world where we get lost trying to discover if what those found sites offer is for real or we will get into another money making scam which we all try to avoid. The review and test time dedicated to analyze the offer is worth invested because when we have found one of those sites we have to decide if it will be worth give them a try or not and we doubt because we are not sure of it. So, let's take a close look at Online Business Alliance.

1. OBA is easy to analyze from the very beginning. It is an online franchise business and the products are e-books and software ready to be sold and downloaded worldwide keeping the franchise owner the 100% of the profits. Those products are sold at $5.00. This low price gives the opportunity to everyone to download not one, but all the e-books and software at no additional cost. This way the costumer can read, study and use them and take an appropriate decision about if this will be worth the time and the effort. This way, the potential future franchise owners know by their own the items before trying to sell them. The opportunity seekers will see first hand if this interests them or not because they have accessed first to the products so... no hype here.

2. Honesty as proof: They claim this is a long-term business opportunity, not a get-rich quick scheme and work is involved to achieve the goals. This means, "hey, don't join if you are not ready to work".

3. If the costumer decides to join the business, no more investment is required and the access to the tools, materials and support to resell those products and be a franchise owner is guaranteed.

4. As owner of the franchise, the costumer will have ad spaces to lease to other costumers if he decides to, and in every ad space there is a proved and tested program advertised. Here is where the major money can be made.

5. Finally, the support. Here is where most of the online businesses fail and to build a great company where all the people is glad to belong to, the personal support and training is the ABC, the key. The Administrator and all the staff are always available and ready to help and clear doubts. There is also a good interaction among OBA business owners, helping one another altruistically.

So, definitely, OBA is not a scam, just a well studied and established international online opportunity for everyone seeking to build a solid long-term business.

Your Time To Tweet

Content may be King [or Queen], but timing your tweets plays a big part. 

Great article by Matthew Royse - a marketing communications manager for a global IT firm in metropolitan Chicago. Read more from Royse at his blog Knowledge Enthusiast. Follow him on Twitter @MattRoyse.

According to data compiled by the marketing firm Lemon.ly, the most traffic on Twitter occurs from 9 to 11 a.m. ET and 1 to 3 p.m. ET. Research from HubSpot’s Dan Zarrella found that the best time to tweet is 5 p.m. ET. 

The takeaway: Spread your tweets out throughout the day with an emphasis on late afternoon.

KISSMetrics pulled data compiled by Zarrella to show the breakdown of tweets in the United States:

• 48 percent of tweets are from the East Coast;
• 33 percent of tweets are from the Central time zone;
• 14 percent are from the West Coast.
• Nearly 80 percent of the U.S. population is located in the Central and Eastern Time zones. 

The takeaway: Think East Coast time.

Day of the week

According to Zarrella’s report “How to Get More Clicks on Twitter,” your Twitter links will get the most attention from your followers toward the end of the week and on weekends. 

The takeaway: Don’t forget Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Tools

Tailoring your tweeting schedule is essential to reaching the greatest number of followers. Here are 13 tools to help you. An asterisk next to the description indicates it's not free. 

1. WhenToTweet helps you determine when most of your followers are online.*

2. TweetWhen shows you the best times to tweet based on your last 1,000 tweets.

3. Tweriod looks at tweets that you and your followers have sent and provides times on when you should tweet.

4. TweetStats  offers a detailed analysis of your best tweeting time.

5. Timely creates a schedule based on your last 199 tweets.

6. Tweue is basically a Twitter queue that will evenly space up to 10 tweets, from 15 minutes to eight hours apart.

7. TweetReports gathers the stats from your top 25 influential followers and analyzes the times when keywords are most discussed, and when you might want to participate in these conversations.

8. Lookacross identifies the best time to reach people.*

9. 14Blocks analyzes your followers’ activities to find out the best times to tweet each day.*

10. Socialflow publishes your content when it will resonate the most with your Twitter followers.*

11. Hootsuite is a Web-based social media dashboard in which you queue up and post updates in a timely fashion.

12. Buffer is an app that enables you to add articles, photos, and videos, and it automatically shares them throughout the day.

13. TweetDeck enables you to schedule tweets and can help you manage your social media platforms.

Frequency is a key part of timing

Timing based on tools and metrics goes just so far, of course. Clumping all your tweets in the 4–5 p.m. hour won’t do much good. To reach your wide array of followers, post at least five times a day, spaced throughout the day according to the analytics above, and your tweets will achieve their maximum impact.

When do you tweet?
