Both the New York Times and the BBC have recent articles claiming that flying cars, in the form of flying taxis, will soon be common.  And it could be true this time. The reason we say "this time" is people have been predicting flying cars will soon be in the air for over a century.  So far, they've been wrong. Both Ford Motor Company and the Curtis Aircraft Company built flying car prototypes as early as 1915.  The picture below is from a 1917 newspaper article and

If you’ve experienced this in the past and you’re ready to finally achieve your goals, you need to build a plan.

If you don’t have good knowledge of tax laws or recently started a business you should consider hiring a professional for calculating and filing your taxes. Business taxes aren’t anything like personal taxes and require detailed reports of all business expenses & incomes. Unless you want to make any stupid mistake which might cost you in the long run, you should “ always ” hire a professional to file your taxes.

It’s no secret that trucks are expensive vehicles to buy, own, and maintain. That’s why most businesses don’t actually own any trucks, but rather rent them as and when they need them. photo credit: Earthswell / Unsplash. However, the word “truck” doesn’t necessarily have to refer to a massive, eighteen-wheeler truck. A pickup truck is also a type of truck, so you can always opt for that.

So what makes local SEO so much better than regular SEO? To put it simply, it is easier to rank for location specific keywords than ranking for generic keywords. This is because in most cases, only small, local businesses, that are limited in number, are ranking for a location specific keyword.
