Considering or currently running a DRTV advertising campaign? Here’s why you should read this paper.Direct response television (DRTV) advertising can be very effective at driving profitable sales. However the high cost of creating and modifying the ads and the lead times associated with DRTV leave room for another more nimble medium to serve a significant purpose. Radio fills that void extremely well, and done right it can significantly enhance the profitability of any DRTV effort.DRTV is the bread and butter of any huge success. Why? Because you can make the most money the fastest via TV. It’s also the most expensive and risky channel – so one has to consider the risk/reward tradeoff.

In this Part 3 of this multi part article you will have an opportunity to read about the retainer fee, contingency fee and statutory fee. Please refer back to Part 1 and Part 2 of this multi part article to learn more about the other fees.
Retainer Fee - As the name implies, this fee is paid to the lawyer, often monthly or annually, to retain or keep the lawyer available to the client. It means that your lawyer would have to turn down other cases in order to remain available for you. As a result, you will probably be billed at a higher rate. This type of fee is called a true retainer and is often paid by large corporations to make sure they have access to their lawyers whenever they need advice or representation.
However, the more common type of a retainer fee is actually a down payment or a deposit. The client would put money into a special account, and the lawyer deducts fees as services are completed. The client is responsible for reviewing the account periodically. The legal fees will be subtracted from the retainer until the retainer is used up. Then, the lawyer will either ask you to pay another retainer or bill you for the additional time spent on your case.

Was singer Stephen Stills giving investment advice when he wrote the song “For What It’s Worth”? Or is this just another investment firm experiencing a ‘60’s flashback?Take it from me; a little paranoia can be a good thing. It makes you very aware. And you need to be aware...not only of trends in the marketplace, but also longer term trends that are evolving all around us.Let me explain. Imagine you were turning age 65, not today...but way back in 1950. Your average life expectancy beyond 65 back then was 13.9 years. This was the original idea behind social security...they just didn’t expect so many folks to be living past 75 or 80.Today we’re approaching the point where people will have an average life expectancy of more than 20 years after retirement. Going forward, many will be retired for 25

You've seen the real estate guru advertisements for books, DVDs, programs, seminars, and mentoring coaches promoting no-money-down deals. Perhaps you've watched the infomercial on TV with the people telling their stories of how they made millions investing in real estate with no-money-down and cash back to the buyers.Maybe you, like me and many others, have purchased books or expensive systems based on these no-money-down and lease-option investing schemes.

You should know that the investor offering these types of deals makes money by purchasing the property at a discount and selling the property for an inflated price.Lease-option real estate investors pl
Another way of using a retainer fee agreement is to have the lawyer be on-call to handle your legal matters over a period of time. Some legal work would be covered by the retainer fee while other legal services would be billed separately. Your lawyer needs to explain the details of your retainer agreement to you in advance, since there are several different types of retainer agreements. The retainer fee is usually non-refundable. Also, the unused money from this retainer agreement is usually refundable. Most attorneys require retainers for most kinds of cases. Make sure you ask your lawyer what your retainer agreement covers and what is refundable.
Contingency Fee - This type of fee agreement is commonly used for accident, personal injury, medical malpractice, workers' compensation and other cases involving a law suit for money.
