As the owner of a single-person business, you are the sales team, the accounting department, public relations and product development departments all rolled into one ambitious individual. Juggling all of that responsibility and making a living isn’t easy, but people just like you are increasingly pulling in impressive annual sales numbers and setting examples for other entrepreneurs to follow. In fact, when the last U.S. Census Bureau report on “non-employer” businesses was released, more than two million of these business owners pulled in more than $100,000, with many making significantly more than that.

Most of our favorite sites, applications and OTT services are available on our mobiles, but they probably didn’t start out that way. Take Facebook, Twitter and Voxox for example.

Although man’s desire to communicate – or chat – has not changed, the way that we do it certainly has. Cave painters of old are now the meme’rs and bloggers of today. Long gone are hand-written notes carried on horseback and sealed with an ironclad secure silk ribbon and wax combo, for today we can chat and instant message with our betrothed … or the pizza guy, the cutie you met at the bar or a co-worker!

Whether the goal is to change your Android ringtone to match your personality or to unearth a gaggle of new sounds and ringtones to assign a unique tone for each of your favorite contacts … you definitely need an app!  Since not all apps are created equal, we tried and tested the top apps, those that are currently trending and few of the weirder ones (just for fun) to compile a list of the Top Five Android Ringtone Apps.  Each of the apps recommended is from a reputable developer, has a minimum of one million downloads to date, a quality rating of at least 4.2 (out of 5) and none of them blast ads every 20 seconds making it so annoying that you immediately delete it.

This year for Thanksgiving we decided to celebrate in Costa Rica, where beautiful sunsets are plentiful.
