Confused about Free Prescription Cards? How to Understand the Fine Print.

Posted on by

With the cost of prescriptions climbing and co-pay increasing, you may find yourself having to make the decision between eating or purchasing medication. There is no one simple answer to this problem. However, using a free prescription card that offers a discount on your medication is a bonus. There are thousands of prescription cards available with a varying rate of discounts. Not all medication is covered, for instance brand names do not receive as great a discount as the generic version. Not all brand name medications offer a generic version.

Sorting through the fine print may be too daunting to bother with. Understanding how a prescription card works for you and the company providing it is just as daunting. Who wants to read several pages of legalese? Who would have that sort of time? The desperate do not want to take the time. Everyone should shop around for the best deals. There are a few terms that can make it easier to grasp the benefits and problems with the various prescription cards available.

Free

The card is free to you. No fees, no payments, or annual dues are asked of you. Ever. If the prescription card is free and you are asked to make a payment of some sort for the card itself, walk away. Tell that person no thank you.

The prescription card does not provide free medication. What it is designed to do is provide you a discount on your medications. Discounts may range from 20 percent to 90 percent. The discount will depend on the medication. There are some cards that can help you pay for cancer treatments and medical equipment.

Disclaimer

Every prescription card has a disclaimer. The most important point to understand about the card is that it is not insurance. It does not pay for medical treatments, or provide discounts. There should be an explanation about the terms regarding prescription supplies. For instance the cost quoted is for a 30-day supply.

Providers

The providers are those pharmacies that will accept your prescription card. Check the directory provided by the prescription card company. Pharmacies may provide a prescription club service, like Walgreens and Walmart, where costs are reduced by as much as 90 percent on generics and less of a discount on brand names.

How do prescription cards work?

Actually the question should be, how can anyone offer a free prescription card? What’s the gimmick or catch? Each company that provides a free prescription card offering various discounts on medications, treatments, supplies, and equipment receive a payment for each instance. In other words, when you use your card, the company will get paid. There is money to earn with prescription cards. A few companies are in search of affiliates to hand out free cards. Affiliates earn a percentage or flat rate for each prescription.

Where to find your prescription card?

A Google search will turn up over 300,000,000 million links. You could search all of them, but…

If you have a favorite pharmacy, check with the pharmacist about discounts, prescription card program. For instance, CVS Pharmacy provides a card you can use at any of their participating stores. If you have insurance check to see if they have a prescription plan. Medicare & Medicaid provide most medications free. Not all prescription cards can be used with Medicare or Medicaid. Check the fine print of both programs.

Free Prescriptions

There are prescription manufacturers that will send you medication free or at a generous discount based upon your income. The Partnership for Prescription Assistance is the place to go. There is a phone number to call or you can apply directly on line. Once the application process is complete you will know if your medication is covered or if a prescription card is your best bet. TogetherRX is a partner of this program, offering discounts on many medications.

Earn By Giving Away Free Prescription Cards

There is a prescription card that provides several programs with the prescription cards. Affiliates earn $1 per prescription filled and a decent percentage from the other programs. There are two ways you can hand out cards, printing them yourself or purchasing printed cards.

For more information contact me. Affiliates are wanted now. Learn more by dropping me an email or chatting with me on Yahoo or Skype.

Now, $1 p/prescription may not seem like a lot of money. However, if you give out thousands of cards and thousands of prescriptions are filled, you can make thousands. :) Apologies. I could not resist that last sentence. The truth is that all programs work like this. The more you give, the more you can get, the more work you do the more you earn. Just a matter of doing the math.

Are you struggling with optimizing your website or blog?

Posted on by

How do you view search engine optimization? Does it seem overwhelming and time consuming? Have you refused to educate yourself? I know how you feel.

There are a few items every web mistress should have when building a website, even a blog. These few tools aid in developing the layout, optimizing for search engines, and making it user friendly. Who wants to visit a website that takes forever to load in your browser?

In talking with website owners I have discovered that each one believes that search engine optimization is beyond them. Keyword research, checking code, links, and other important aspects of a blog and website is time consuming. Especially when you use more than one piece of software or do it all by hand.

I have a solution. One I use frequently. It has become an invaluable tool for me. I do not like spending all my time fixing links, researching keywords, balancing the pages, and fixing the numerous other errors that do occur.

WebCEO ( http://www.webceo.com/cgi-bin/go/clickthru.cgi?id=officewife) has been a gift. I can input my website’s url, select the task and wait a few seconds. Reports are created that explain about keywords, meta tags, errors in both areas, if any, and how I stack up to the competition if I choose to know. A free trial is ready for you to give it a try. Click here ( http://www.webceo.com/cgi-bin/go/clickthru.cgi?id=officewife) and check it out for yourself. There is no cost or obligation. No pushy sales person is going to bother you. I know I won’t.

I would like to know what you think of it. If you purchase the full Pro version of WebCeo http://www.webceo.com/cgi-bin/go/clickthru.cgi?id=officewife), you can sell SEO services to your clients, friends, family, and strangers. The free online version allows you to set up two sites. Upgrade and again, sell your SEO services.

I create complete reports for my clients, letting them know if keywords are missing, how they rate compared to their competitors, meta tags are either too short or too long, too many out going links, and not enough back links. There are 12 tools in one piece of software.

I repeat, 12 tools in WebCEO. I invite you to try it for yourself. There is at least one free software program similar to this program, but it was a bit complicated and time consuming. I am spoiled, so back to WebCEO.

My Favorite WordPress Plug ins

Posted on by

Everyone has their favorite plugins, software, toys, and games. We each share likes and dislikes. Hopefully agreeing to disagree when we do not like what someone else likes? Mmmm.

Each of the following plug ins are free from WordPress.org. However, if you have WordPress installed, simply go to your Plug ins menu and search. I find this way easier and faster. :) Not that I have to tell the veteran bloggers how to install plug ins. :)

AddToAny: Subscribe Button

Those buttons you see at the top of sites or under blog posts that read Share, clicking the button provides a list of social networks. This is one of those plug ins.

I tried a different because it linked in my blog posts, so you could choose which post to share. But, seems the visit plugin sitelink next to the plug in information was to my site and with another piece of code. Not good. Grateful I have security plug ins. Which brings up a great point: Check on the creator, website, ratings, and other information regarding the plug in you want to use.

Akismet

Now this is probably every one’s favorite. If it is not, it should be. Since installing Akismet I do not get spam comments. Yeah. You know those comments that are gibberish or “gee I like your post.” The links are either bogus or tied to some spammy site. If you do not have this, you should. But if you have one that you like better, great. YEAH…

All in One SEO

All in One SEO is created and maintained by SemperFi Web Design. I like the interface of this plug in. It is simple, self-explanatory, and quick. Set up for the blog, each page, each post. Or disable it per post or page. Very little explanation or use instructions required. Except to become familiar with SEO.

Google Analytics for WordPress

The Google Analytics plug in is easier to use and quick to set up. Plug and play, well all most. You need a Googleaccount and to obtain the API key. Still even this is easy to move through. Fill in a few blanks, click and click. Done.

GTranslate

Translate your blog into 58 languages. All with a click of the mouse. No need to configure. You do need a widgetized WordPress theme. Once the plug in is installed, go to the widget page of your blog and click, drag the GTranslate button to the spot on your sidebar. Done. Try it out. View your home page, click the drop down button and select a language. No translator can translate words in an image. Your banners won’t translate. You may want to use the Alternate Text box to include one or two word descriptions in a couple of the more popular languages. The Description is another option to put a few words in Spanish or French, for instance.

Network Publisher

What a lot of work posting to every social network. Using the Network Publisher has cut the time in half. I say in half because I am with a couple of social networks that are not included. Manual submission… You need to register, obtain an API key and link your networks to Network Publisher. Once this is done, plug and play. :) With a free account you are allowed four networks.

Press This Reloaded

Drag the Press This button to the toolbar and blog on any web page, picture, social network, any internet site you visit. Simplifies the sharing process. Especially if you are an affiliate. Write a review, publish. Not complicated. Installing the plug in happens in a few seconds.

WordPress Firewall 2

Now to my life saver. Or blog saver. Since installing the WordPress Firewall 2, the attacks on my blog are decreasing and the hack problem has been solved. At least for now. I learned so much about security and protecting my blog after I was hacked. The funny thing is, the installed links went nowhere. What was the point? Just to aggravate? Really?

WordPress Ping Optimizer

I just installed the WordPress Ping Optimizer plug in. Not sure how it is going to help. When it comes to actions like pinging, I am a newbie. A willing newbie, but still. There is a long list of sites to ping. Services you can use, some free, some paid. Or, install your ping optimizer and let it to do the work.

Something I just learned about blogs, each time you make a correction, the service is pinged. This plug in lets you set how often to ping. One ping every 15 minutes or every 45. The longer span is great if you are working on your blog adding new plug ins, posts, etc.

That is it for now. These are my favorite plug ins, so far. Since each one is free I wanted to give a shout to the creators. I appreciate the hard work, maintained security and keeping them updated.

On to the next project.
