How to Advertise for Free
2008-02-03 00:00:00
There are many places to get free advertising.  You don't need to use Pay-Per- Click (PPC) from Google or Yahoo to get more traffic to your site and to sell more products. While these are useful methods, they can also be quite expensive. There are people who admit to spending $10,000 or more a month for PPC. But if you don't have a huge advertising budget then classified ads are a far less expensive way to advertise.Classified ads have been around for centuries. Newspapers and magazines were the original places to post a classified ad, but now the Internet offers many places for small  ads. Many ezines or online newsletter have a section for classified ads. The best thing is to find a ezine related to the niche of your service or product and advertise there.  The rates for these ads vary. The higher the traffic or number of subscribers, the more the rates will be. Online newsletters with smaller circulations will have lower prices but also fewer readers so less peop...

How This Blog Is Doing
2008-01-22 00:00:00
Well, I have had this blog now for over two months and I am happy to report that I am making money. So many bloggers on forums said that it took years before they started to make a decent income that I was reluctant to even start this site. But much to my surprise I am finally making a passive income from this blog.In December on the WAHM forum people were complaining that their Google Adsense revenue was way down for the month. Some attributed it to the holiday season. But when I checked my figures I saw that in December my Adsense ad revenue was over three times what it was in November. I couldn't explain it. I just enjoyed the unexpected money.Another interesting thing is that my last blog post was a few weeks ago, but I have gotten more traffic in the last few days than when I was posting a new entry every day. Again I can't explain it. And neither could the other bloggers on the forum.And I am also making money rrom the affiliate links on the site. More and more people are bu...

Make $700 in 7 Days
2007-12-20 00:00:00
While surfing the Internet I came across Make $700 in 7 Days , an ebook that offers ten online business ideas you can start, most for little upfront costs. I was intrigued by this and since the ebook only cost $7 I decided to get it. A  money back guarantee made me realize I didn't have much to lose.I liked the ideas suggested in the book. Even though a few of the ideas I had considered, such as selling on eBay, this book offered new perspectives and information that I didn't know about. Another idea in this book suggests one aspect of writing that I agree can be extremely profitable.  I am currently in the planning stages  for this one.  And a third idea in this book I know works because I made $750 from this business idea in one week. Last week I just made $300 from this method. But the potential to make more is always there.I definitely learned something new from this book. But it was also good to know that some of the profitable ideaas in this book I am alr...

A Profitable Niche To Try
2007-12-20 00:00:00
In doing research to find a niche market that would make me good money I came across car insurance or auto insurance quotes. This is a very popular keyword phrase. Many people want to save money on their car or auto insurance. I am sharing this information with you because I don't drive, so I know absolutely nothing about buying car insurance. I could learn about this topic but it really doesn't interest me at all. Here are a few ways to make money using the keyword phrases car insurance or auto insurance. Start a blog or web site offering information about car insurance. You can even make it more specific by offering it  for a state or city such as Portland Car Insurance Quotes or Auto Insurance in California. Maybe a site targeting teens and car insurance or women and car insurance or people with bad credit and car insurance. You can be as general or as specific as you like.As for content you can write the articles yourself or get free content from article directories. I j...

I recently came across Warrior Forum a site for Internet marketing. Warrior forum is a great source of information for those who want to make money online. Many posters share their experiences and offer useful advice on various ways to make money from home. Just by reading one thread I found  two new business ideas that I am currently working on.One lengthy thread which everyone should read is How Can This Forum Make You $50,000 or More?  While not everyone who posts his or her success story has made fifty thousand dollars, all seemed to have made some money   which is inspiring. I strongly urge you read Warrior Forum for new business ideas, advice, inspiration and other useful tools and information that this site offers. Registration is free but this is not necessary to read current threads.If you want to make money from home this forum is an excellent starting place. ******Related Articles Good Work-at-Home Websites Two More Good Work-at-Home Site a Findi...

Specialty Writing for Profit
2007-11-26 00:00:00
There are numerous ways to make money with your writing. Two niche writing areas are resume writing and copy writing. I believe any motivated person can start either of these businesses. There is a great deal of information on the Internet about marketing and resumes and copy are two ways that persuasive writing can lead to a new job or to the sale of products. Copy Writing When I first started writing all I did was try to write articles for magazines. Then I discovered the Internet and started writing for Web sites. I then learned that copywriting was one of the most lucrative ways to make money as a writer.  What is copy writing?  Many don?t seem to know what this is. Copywriting is marketing materials used to sell a product or service. Every ad you see in a newspaper or magazine, all the commercials on radio and television, the junk mail you get in your mail box or Inbox, the brochures, flyers and leaflets you see? all of this is written by copywriters.

Selling "Lingerie"- For Adults Only
2007-11-19 00:00:00
I have a friend. Let's call her Prudence. One day Pru was surfing the net and came across a post on a forum about weird things on the Internet. The poster found some ads on EBay that she found strange. Apparently there was a woman selling her used panties. Pru was intrigued by this. Actually, she didn't believe it. So she went to EBay and discovered that the auction site used to allow the selling of soiled underwear, but no longer permitted this. Then Pru went to Craigslist.com and read the "Erotic Services" section. Sure enough there were women selling their used panties. Although Pru considered herself a sophisticated person who had started reading Cosmopolitan Magazine at the age of 15, she was still amazed that women would sell their panties So Pru, being the curious type, decided to write her own ad on Craigslist offering to sell "naughty" panties to men. She just wanted to see what would happen. She set up a new, free email account and placed her ad early one mor...

Finding Profitable Niches
2007-11-19 00:00:00
If you want to start a blog or a website around your interests or hobbies this is a great way to launch a business.  Many people have turned their passions into a profitable business. But there are those of us who have trouble finding a niche. What is a niche? A niche is a segment of the market, a specialized area.  Amazon started out selling books online, while Office Max specializes in products and services related to business. This blog is for people who want to make money without a job.There are many free tools available to help people find a good niche. Keywords searches are a popular activity today. So many experts say that the key to success is finding an underrepresented niche market. It is all about supply and demand.  If many people are looking for a particular product or service and few people are supplying this area, if you get into this niche you can have a profitable business.So how do you find profitable keywords?

Money Making Secrets Revealed
2007-11-17 00:00:00
The best secret I can share is that there are no secrets to making money.When Ebay, Google, and Amazon were started their founders had no idea that the companies would grow exponentially and make them all billionaires. These men were innovators and were handsomely rewarded. But alas all I can do is follow the money making advice, tips, and suggestions of those experts and gurus and hope to make a great deal of money.Until recently I was on the mailing lists of several Internet marketing gurus. I signed up because of the free product they offered me, usually something to build traffic or find profitable niches or getting my Web site to the top of the search engines.  I soon learned that most of these millionaire gurus offered similar advice.1. Find a niche2. Build a website or blog3. Find affiliate products that are relevant to your niche4. Get subscribers to your email lists by offering an incentive like a free ebook, video or course5.

Getting to the Top of Search Engines - Been There, Done That
2007-11-14 00:00:00
There is a great deal of information available about getting to the top of search engines. Experts and gurus sell ebooks and monthly services all designed to keep you at the top of search engines. Everyone tells you that one of the best ways to get free traffic is to be at the top of search engines. Well I am here to tell you what I have learned about search engines based on my own experiences.A few years ago I had a manuscript evaluation business. I followed the rules of meta tags, meta descriptions, page names, etc. but since I was new to search engine optimization I didn't expect much to happen. There were many web sites already using the keywords "manuscript evaluation." But much to my astonishment a few weeks later I checked Google, Yahoo, Aka Vista, MSN, Lycos and AskJeeves and discovered I was at the top of all these search engines. In a few cases I was even number one. I was so excited about what I had accomplished. I thought my business was on its way to a successful run. ...

But I Digress...Gruesomeness
2007-11-12 00:00:00
I watch a lot of television. I always have. Even as a child I did my homework while watching TV but I got good grades so my parents never told me to turn it off. But this weeks' TV shows have been particularly gruesome to me. I don?t like slasher films or blood and gore. Even when the violence is off-screen it still bothers me because it was described in such vivid detail.On NCIS a man was nailed to the floor and tortured. Two hours later on Law & Order- Special Victims Unit a victim had her breasts cut off. On Criminal Minds women were abducted and tortured for days before being killed. On Cold Case four young boys were locked in storage units and eventually died, basically being buried alive.Yes, I know I don?t have to watch these shows, but I don?t usually notice so much gruesomeness within just a few days. The last time this happened was Easter weekend years ago when NYPD Blue was still on. I can?t remember what other shows were on but they were very violent that week. But ...

But I Digress...Again
2007-11-09 00:00:00
I don't like grammatical errors. I have a degree in English so I am very sensitive to spelling and syntax errors. Yet I recently noticed more than my fair share of errors in my own posts. I am embarrassed by this. I should know better. And I do.I never took a job ad seriously if there were spelling and grammar errors. I thought the companies too unprofessional for me to waste my time with especially since the jobs were for writing and editing. But in my haste to get these articles on my blog I rush through the proofreading. I realize that I see what I remember writing instead of what is actually there. Also I never have been a great speller. And I hate typing. So please excuse any errors you may find. Feel free to let me know what mistakes I may have made. I once came across the web site of an editor whose homepage was rife with errors. I was so appalled that I emailed the owner of the site and pointed out the errors and corrected them.  The owner was of course defensive and d...

I purchased the ebook Honest Income Program because I am always looking for new ways to make money and I liked the sales letter. The 56-page ebook describes three programs that you can join that can make you money online. The author admits that he is not rich but says that he can pay his $1700 a month mortgage.  The three programs add up to $1850 a month on average for the author.  This is not a lot of money, but the work is minimal and every bit counts when you are trying to earn money without a job.Program OneThe first program involves writing articles for a particular website. There is a list of topics to choose from and you get $5 for each 500-word article. The owner of this site apparently has numerous websites and needs keyword articles to bring in revenue from Google Adsense. To write for this site you must be a paid member. It costs about $30 per month. It is suggested that you write about 3 articles a day. The author then tells readers an easy way to write these a...

How I Wished for $5K and Got It

I wanted $5000. Not for anything specific, I just wanted the money so I would have more options. And I got it.You hear a lot these days about manifesting your dreams/goals and the laws of attraction. I am sure many people dismiss this as new age nonsense, but I am a believer.Since reading and rereading Spiritual Growth- Being Your Higher Self I have used a few of the techniques in the book to manifest what I wanted.What I got the $5000 I was pleasantly shocked, though I shouldn't have been. I had been using such manifesting techniques for awhile now for little things.Have you ever taken the subway doing rush hour in New York City? If you have then you know that people squeeze themselves into subway cars. But I always got a seat within several seconds of entering the car. While I stood on the noisy platform I envisioned myself sitting down in the train. I put energy around this image and I sent it up to the Universe. And every time I did this I got a seat.This manifesting technique...

She ignore all the toys that I have gotten her.  She occasionally deigns to let me pet her which I like doing because of her soft,  fluffy coat. (She is a Persian.) Anyhoo, when I go to bed something odd happens. Within seconds of my head hitting the pillow she starts to meow and meow. And meow and meow. She has a full food bowl, fresh water, and a clean litter box. She was just zipping around so I know she is feeling well.Why does she do this? For awhile I thought she was afraid of the dark. But even when I go to bed at 8 am in the morning with the sunlight streaming into my apartment she still meows. I call her name and she jumps onto the bed, walks to my head and sniffs me, then jumps off again.  A few minutes later I hear her again meowing in the other room..Anyway, that's my digression.******

Write and Make Money, Part Two

To make money with your writing you have to work for companies that actually pay.  Two places to start with are Constant Contentand  Associated Content. Both allow you to write articles on any subject you have interest  or expertise in. This is z great opportunity for the beginning writer. Sell Articles at the Price You Want Constant Content allows you to sign up for free. You can then submit your articles on the online form. But with CC you only make money if the article is sold to a third-party. Constant Content is more of a middle-man. It is a place where writers offer their articles and companies look for content. CC gets 35% of all sales. (Originally it was 50%.)  But one great thing about CC is that you get to name your own price. If you want to sell exclusive rights to your article for $5 or $100 there is nothing stopping you. (Exclusive rights means you give all rights away.)   Another option is to sell non-exclusive rights, meaning you retain...

But it seems we have different definitions of what a scam is. Some people define scams as any process that promises a lot but gives very little back.

Spiritual Growth - Being Your Higher Self (book review)
2007-11-07 00:00:00
Spiritual Growth : Being Your Higher Self by Sanaya Roman can truly transform us by teaching us to expand our vision of what is possible, by increasing our feelings of control in life and by giving us a better understanding of how the world works. Although Spiritual Growth does not follow the tenets of any one religion or spiritual path, it helps us all to be our higher selves, the best person we can possibly be. This book helps us to discover who we are and what our purpose is in life. Ms. Roman has channeled Orin, a spiritual teacher, for many years. It is his wisdom that guides Spiritual Growth. The book is a step-by-step process for achieving personal enlightenment in this lifetime. The book is divided into three sections: Reaching Upward in which we learn to connect with our Higher Self; Opening Inward in which we learn to accept and love ourselves; and Expanding Outward which teaches us how to empower ourselves and others.

End Procrastination - Don't Get in the Way of Your Own Success, Part One
2007-11-07 00:00:00
We all face many of the same problems in achieving our goals. Procrastination is one such obstacle to success. It results in wasted time and energy, missed opportunities, and poor performance. With procrastination comes increased stress and feelings of failure. Procrastinators fill their time with diversions and unimportant tasks that really do not advance their goals. They are busy being busy, not being productive. Procrastination is a pattern of behavior that must be modified for a person to produce optimum results. Delaying or avoiding necessary tasks is the mark of a procrastinator. We always know what needs to be done and this awareness only adds more stress to our lives. Finding activities to do instead of doing the necessary task takes time and energy away form our true goal of starting a business or getting more clients. Possible Reasons for Procrastination Psychologists differ in their definition of procrastination. Some view procrastination as simply a bad habit. Oth...

One of the best ways to make money from home is to write. While traditionally people wrote for magazines and newspapers, with the advent of the Internet, new opportunities for writers have appered. There are Web sites, ezines, blogs, and ebooks all of which can make an enterprising writer money. And even if you do not consider yourself a writer, if you have specialized knowledge and can cleary explain your subject, you can make money. Blogging for Beginners But for those who fear the blank page, starting a personal blog is the best way to get started.   Writing about your life, your hobbies, your latest recipe and is an excellent way to achieve instant gratification. What you write in your online journal is immediately posted for friends and family, and, if you want, complete strangers. (I will be writing more about blogging and making money at a later date.)

There are also specific forums for those involved in various direct sales businesses such as Avon, Pampered Chef, Shaklee, Mary Kay and Ameriplan.  For those interested in telecommuting jobs there are sections for virtual assistants, transcriptionists, and customer service reps.

Finding Great Products to Sell
2007-11-07 00:00:00
One of the best and easiest ways to make money is to sell products and services. With your blog, Web site or online newsletter you can make good money by selling items that people want to buy. If you don?t have a unique product or service of your own to sell you can always sell the products of other companies. As an affiliate or reseller you get a commission or a percentage of every item you sell. The percentage can range from 1% to 100%. With a commission of 100% you actually buy reprint rights to a product like software or ebooks. You can then sell the products and keep all of the profits for yourself.  You can also repackage the products, combine them with other programs you have reprint rights to and create you own product.  Your opportunities are only limited by your imagination and the copyright laws. You can sell almost anything you want. Whatever your passion or interest you can find a product and sell it.  But it is always best to start out with a niche marke...
