		<description><![CDATA[LTC E-Alert #9-072: MetLife and NCOA on HEC
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Seattle--


LTC Comment: Kudos to the MetLife Mature Market Institute (www.maturemarketinstitute.com) and the National Council on Aging (www.ncoa.org) for their new, jointly published report on reverse mortgages.
Read a summary below. See the full report here.
Reverse mortgages are rarely used to fund long-term care. We've established that fact repeatedly by interviewing lenders in our state-level studies of long-term care over the years. Examples here.


There is a simple reason why reverse mortgages don't help many aging homeowners obtain quality long-term care. Until the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 capped Medicaid's home equity exemption at $500,000 to $750,000, Medicaid LTC recipients could retain one home and all contiguous property with no limit on the value. Even now the most common $500,000 limit is roughly four times the median value of the average elderly family's home. But get this: our half a million dollar limit is nearly 15 times the size of the home equity exemption in the United Kingdom's long-term care system ($35,000). We're more generous with our welfare-financed long-term care than a socialized health care system in Europe.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a great summer! We are continuing to add new accounts and enhancements to our program.
Some of you who are new to the program will note that your blogs are set up on our own servers now.
That gives us more control over content, rights, and information, and SEO options.


We will be sending out new URLs and usernames and passwords to those of you who were moved over.

A few reminders:
1. If you haven't downloaded the community presentations, please do so at any time!


2. If you would like to watch the Do-It-Yourself Video Course, you are welcome to do that.
There are 15 short videos that walk you through a lot of what we do. Some of the info has changed over time,
but you will get the drift.


We will be having our usual private monthly webinar soon. Watch your email for instructions.
Also, be sure to register for our conference this fall- we will absolutely sell out before August 1.
Very few seats left! Register ASAP!!!

www.PowerMarketingConference.com

Thank you from all of us!
Valerie and Staff]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting Facts:

70% to 80% of consumers' clicks still happen within natural search results. (iCrossing). Search spending totaled more than $13.5-billion in 08, 88% of that spent on paid search/pay per click advertising. (SEMPO, Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization).

So, even though, 70%+ of traffic comes from organic search, business is only devoting 12% of its resources to that, 88% to pay-per-click. YOU can be smarter!

Knowing how to attract your ideal customers from their own active search activity gives you enormous advantage!

If you want all of your social media marketing and natural search engine results Done-For-You, be sure to contact us to set up a time for conference call and by all means visit http://www.LTCSocialMark.com  right now!

The site does say that we are sold out- but we will take new clients by private referral or interview on a case by case basis. We're ready to get started, are you next?]]></description>
