The Secret to Earning Money

Imagine you found a magic lamp and discovered that the Genie inside not only gave you 3 wishes but gave you a lifetime of wishes. What would you wish for?

More money?

Most of us have grown up to believe that we have to work hard for our money, or that wanting more money is a sin, its wrong! The truth is money allows us to experience many wonderful things in life which without it is impossible. By that I don’t mean our lives our meaningless without it because that would be untrue. What I am saying is that money brings with it more opportunities for us to create different experiences that without it we do miss out on. Life is supposed to be abundant for us all not just for a select few and we are now living in an age where the real knowledge about earning money is out there for us to grasp onto, awaken the urges within us all and open the lid on the box so to speak.

It is easy to earn money and every person who enjoys the abundance of wealth has known how easy it is for a long time. There was a small percentage of people who have by applying the methods I will reveal to you shortly, created wonderful experiences in their lives simply because they knew how to. There is even scientific evidence in favour of what I’m going to talk about. Regardless of whether you believe it or not this works; whether you focus on it or not this works, and it is quite difficult to dismiss as the results you get can be miraculous, quick and phenomenal once you start to focus on it with unwavering strength.

What I am referring to is ‘Prosperity Consciousness’. Prosperity Consciousness links nicely into and is an aspect of The Law of Attraction. If you are unfamiliar with this law, briefly put this is a universal law like the law of gravity in which it states like attracts like. Simply put the law of attraction says whatever you think about most you will attract into your life. Bob Proctor an expert on the law of attraction for over 45 years believes “Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life…it’s what you’re thinking. Everything that goes on in your mind you are attracting to you.” There’s a lot more to it than the brief explanation above but I will explain it to you in more detail focussing just on Prosperity Consciousness to show you how you can attract more money into your life.

First of all you need to understand what money is? Most of us see money as the paper we fold up and put in to our pockets or as numbers on a computer screen. That is not money. That’s its representation it is not money. This representation is just a piece or pieces of paper with ink on it or numbers on a computer screen. Money is much more than that. Money is an idea a concept. With it we have many more experiences and it allows us to grow spiritually and intellectually. Without it we experience lack and difficult experiences.

We are all so use to trading our services in exchange for money, the more valuable our service, the more money we receive. We have limited our beliefs by thinking we have to work hard for our money which is not true. Money is an idea which you give energy to and attract to you from the thoughts you think in your head as well as how you feel and your beliefs about money. Now if this is the first time you are hearing this then you many think I’m talking nonsense. Believe me I’m not. Let me explain.

If you want more money in your life, first of all you must change how you view money. For example, if you have these kinds of beliefs, ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’, or ‘You have to work hard for your money’, or ‘Money doesn’t come easily’, these are negative thought patterns and will not attract money into your life. In fact it will do the complete opposite. This thought pattern will hold you back and create a negative reality for you. If you are the type of person who is always complaining about not having enough money then the law of attraction gives you what you think about most which is not having enough money. You need to think the kind of thoughts that attract prosperity to you. Thoughts like “I have more than enough”, or “I am a magnet to money”. We are what we think and being Prosperity Consciousness is the key to increasing your wealth.

Being Prosperity Conscious is not difficult. Begin by changing your beliefs about money. Think thoughts of abundance and wealth. If you are serious bout increasing your wealth, your predominant thoughts should be of wealth. Scientists now know and can prove that our thoughts carry frequencies, just like a radio signal carries frequencies. If we are constantly thinking the same thoughts over and over again, these thoughts will manifest into our realities and we will attract more of what we are thinking about. Just think about it for a second. Everything you have achieved in your life so far started with a thought or an idea you had. You then followed that thought or idea through by acting on it until you created in your life that which you once thought about. The same is true of wealth. If you want more money in you life you have to think positively about it and the law of attraction will give you more of what it is your thinking about.

You also have to feel good about money to attract more to you. Start by thinking, feeling and believing, “I have more than enough money”, or “There is an abundance of money it’s on its way to me”, or “I am a money magnet”, or “I love money and money loves me”. I can guarantee you that everyone who has successfully gathered wealth in their lives thinks good thoughts about money and never focuses on the lack of it. Remember, there is enough of it to go around there is unlimited amounts of wealth available to each and every one of us. It’s never going to run out. How can it it’s an idea which starts in our minds?

Hand in hand with thinking positive thoughts about wealth and abundance is visualisations. Visualisations are a powerful way to put the thoughts in your mind into images. It’s a way of meditating on what you want by creating the life you want in your mind by way of pictures. Did you know that visualisations are so powerful that when you visualise your desires in your mind your brain can’t tell the difference between whether you have experienced it in real life or not? Let me give you an example. As an experiment an athlete was wired up to a computer to test the power of visualisations. He was asked to run his race in his mind as if he was doing it for real on the running track. The results where astounding. It showed that his brain responded in the same way when he was running the race in his mind as when he was running the race for real. It did not know the difference. That’s how powerful the brain is. Don’t underestimate it. We are only just beginning to realize our potential and yet we still have a long way to go to understanding it fully.

To bring all of what I have said together I need to explain one more thing. In order to start the ball rolling and a must for attracting anything into you life is gratitude. Be grateful for what you already have. Everyday be grateful for all the good things you have in your life. This will attract more of what you’re grateful for to you. Remember like attracts like. If you think negative thoughts that is what you will attract more of into your life. If you think positive thoughts that is what you will attract more of into your life. The choice is yours but life is meant to be abundant for us all and is no longer just for the select few who understood the law of attraction long before the secret was revealed. Be happy and joyful for who you are and what you have experienced so far in your life. It will be difficult to attract wealth into your life without these ground rules. Our thoughts create things, go ahead and make your wishes come true and be grateful every step of the way.

Happiness - People say that money can’t buy happiness but …

Most of the time, we always try to distinct money and happiness or simply say that money can’t buy you happiness. I do not agree totally to this statement but there some truth in it.

It is a weird thought to think that when you are rich, you cannot be happy or vice versa. Look at Bill Gates or Donald Trump, do you think they are very unhappy with the money they have? They have both the money and happiness. They worked hard for both items.

To me, both happiness and money is as important. If you still ask me which is more important, I will ask you which hand of yours is more precious? Left hand or right hand? Get what I mean? You cannot directly compare the both but they are indirectly link to each other as well.

Having a wealthy life with financial freedom might not gain you happiness but looking at your situation, you are already more fortunate than many others who are pursing their freedom. In this world, there are many things that need to be pay by money, your dream house, car and grand wedding, they all need money. Is it reasonable for me to say that, in this case, when you have the money, you will be able to fulfill the above dreams and you are most likely to be happy.

I guess money still can buy some happiness to a certain extend. Some may argue that this kind of happiness is short term and when your dreams/goals are fulfilled; your expectations increase and become unhappy again till your new expectations are met. I mean this is unavoidable as humans are creatures that sought after improvements after improvements. If not, there would not be internet and you can’t be reading this now.

So having some money is still an advantage to have in the pursuit of happiness. But, in the end is always best to have both happiness and wealth.

Make Money as an Act Of Love To God!

Earn money so you can be generous to the work of the Lord and to the poor. And earn money so you can be generous with your loved ones.

Living a simple life doesn’t mean being stingy!

Mary, the sister of Martha, anointed Jesus with expensive ointment worth 300 days wages. Now that’s extravagant! Judas Iscariot complained that the perfume should have been sold off and given to the poor. Jesus, however, didn’t think it was wasteful but rather praised Mary’s act of love. The point? Once in a while, we can be excessive when it comes to giving gifts to one another- out of love.

When my father celebrated his 80th birthday, I recall my family spent a small fortune for an expensive dinner where we invited all his friends. (Well actually, it wasn’t that expensive. At 80 years old, most of his friends were already chatting with St. Peter). Some would have accused us of being “excessive” because what we spent during that birthday party could have fed 10 families in Bangladesh for an entire month. But somehow, I knew that God was smiling when we did that for Dad. It may have been excessive if as a family we didn’t regularly share our belongings with the poor. But that is something we have done all our lives, thanks to my father’s inspiring example. One day, I bought Holland tulips for my wife. Again, a part of me was saying that I could feed lunch to 10 orphans from Nigeria with what I spent. But I felt God assure me that He wanted me to be loving towards my wife-and that He provides me with more wealth so that I can help the orphans on another occasion. One day, a friend of mine who tithes regularly complained that he was still barely making ends meet. I told him, “Tithing is one principle of financial blessings?” He stared at me amazed. “Other principles? I only know one and that’s tithing.” I rattled off my list. “Do you live a simple life? Do you tame your materialistic desires? Do you avoid credit? Do you believe that God has given you all the abilities that you need in order to earn more than enough? Do you work hard? Do you persevere when you fail repeatedly? Do you serve your customers with love and excellence? He shook his head. My friend confessed that he’s an impulsive buyer and uses his credit card recklessly. He never saves. He never opens himself to new income streams.

Many people want to succeed but they’re not wiling to pay the price of success. As much as I love manna and the supernatural miracles of God, let me say it again: Manna is designed by God to teach you an attitude, not a behavior Mixing up these two words has caused untold misery in people’s lives. If you think manna is teaching you a behavior, you’ll say hilarious things like…”Don’t budget. God will just miraculously work it all.” or Don’t save, don’t buy insurance, don’t think of investments or dabble into business. That’s all worldly stuff and will bring you to hell.

Just trust God.” If you say those things, you’ll never leave the desert of financial difficulty. Do you want to be successful in life? Success in biblical language is “bearing fruit”. But God doesn’t give you the fruit of success of success. What He gives you instead is the land that will bear the fruit of success.

So in the Promised Land, you need to work that Land: till the soil, plant the seeds and harvest the crops. A lot of hard back straining work1

My friend, in the Promised Land you decide how much money you want to earn.

Associate Marketing: Is It the Simplest Means To Make Money Online?

Affiliate marketing has been around long before the internet, but it has become so much more popular as a way to make money since then. Let's take a quick look at what it is and what it is exactly that makes it so special, shall we?

Affiliate marketing is not about writing your own product and trying to find people to buy it. Affiliate marketing is about recommending someone else's product or products and making a percentage from that sale. It's basically piggybacking on the efforts of other peoples work, which is ok, because they want you to!

These marketers who have their own products will be very eager for you to recommend their products. If they know what they are doing then you are their best friend! And you can easily have a great, profitable business relationship with these other marketers; they create the products and you sell them!

This is really great for both the affiliate and the creator of the product. The average affiliate marketer just wants to make some extra money. They do not bother with creating products or services or even handling other tasks that come along with being a product creator or owner, like customer service, updates, upgrades, etc. Great affiliates are really good at figuring out what people want to buy and then directing those people to the product. This is one of the many wonderful advantages to being an affiliate marketer: It is not your job to sell the item. It is your job to simply pre-sell the item. Let the items sell themselves.

Affiliate marketing can be even more lucrative for the affiliate marketer by offering buyers incentives for buying through your affiliate link. What kind of special offers? Well, the smartest affiliates are affiliates that have actually tried the product or service they are promoting. When the affiliate has actually tried the product, they can create better offers based on what they know of the product! The affiliate marketer that does this can provide additional reports or even videos that explain the advantages or secrets of what the buyer can do with the product or service! If you are an affiliate marketer selling a software application, then you can tell your visitors that they will receive a video from you showing the best ways to make use of the software program.

Back to the original question: Is affiliate marketing the easiest path to make good money online? Without a doubt, yes, it is. Once you take into consideration the fact that you do not have to make a product and all that you have to do is promote products to people that are already looking for products you are promoting, taking candy from a baby could not be easier.

Stop Wasting Money On Higher Cooling Bills!

If you could put more money in your pocket, this summer, would you? Well, you can, by lowering your cooling bill. Chances are, it's higher than it needs to be. You'll be surprised at what you can save. No sacrifice required. Check out these quick and easy maintenance tips that can put you on your way to lower bills in no time.

Quick Facts About Your Central AC

Your central air conditioning (AC) system circulates cool air through your house through supply and return ducts (often the same ducts used for heat in the winter). A typical central AC system has an evaporator, condenser and compressor in a single cabinet located outside the house (usually on a concrete slab right next to it), or alternately, a condenser and compressor outside and an evaporator in a separate cabinet, inside (usually in the basement or crawl space). Both systems have a blower that forces indoor air through the coil of the evaporator where it's cooled, dehumidified, and sent through the ductwork into the house. The heat collected by the evaporator is transferred to the condenser (outside) to dissipate.

Change the Air Filter

This is the most important thing you can do to help keep your system working at peak efficiency. The air moving across the evaporator is cleaned before it gets there by a filter located in the return air duct (usually within easy reach in a wall or ceiling, or at the air conditioner itself). Filters get dirty and clogged through regular use; the dirtier they get, the less air gets through the system. The dirty air that gets through is carried right to the evaporator. Dirt sticking to the evaporator coil further impedes air flow, reduces the evaporator's ability to absorb heat and can reduce your system's efficiency by as much as 10 percent. Not to mention, that dirty air is circulated right back through your house.

Air filters are made by a number of manufacturers and come in a variety of types and efficiencies.

* Most residential systems use 1-inch or 2-inch flat or pleated fiberglass "throwaway" filters (thicker filters may hold more dust but are not necessarily more efficient).

* There are also "permanent" type filters: mesh, electrostatic and electronic, some with pre-filters that collect larger dust particles.

* If you or a family member suffers with allergies or sensitivity to dust or other particulates (i.e., tobacco smoke, pollen or pet dander), consider using a High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter, also known as a HEPA filter. These are specially constructed filters that allow a high volume of air to pass through them while stopping even very tiny particles.

* If you have any question about the right filter for your system, don't guess; check with a professional service technician.

Whatever type of air filter you use, inspect it and either clean it or replace it about once a month during peak cooling season or more often if you're living in dusty conditions or with pets. Never run your system without the filter in place.

Clean Evaporator Coils and Fins

Even if you regularly change your air filter, dirt will still accumulate on the evaporator over time. Check your evaporator coils at least once a year and clean them if necessary, using a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment, careful not to bend the fins.

Clean Condenser Coils and Fins

Condenser coils and fins (outside) are also vulnerable to dirt - from debris and leaves falling from trees, cut grass kicked up by the lawnmower, and lint from a nearby dryer vent - so, check the condenser unit at the beginning of the cooling season. Cut the power to the unit and use the following checklist:

* Gently remove any debris from top and sides.

* Sweep the concrete pad.

* Prune back any overhanging leaves (2 feet is the minimum recommended clearance; 5 feet overhead).

* Use a soft brush to sweep the fins.

* (Optional) Spray the fins with a gentle household cleaner; let it sit for 5 minutes, then gently hose them down pointing the spray into the interior through the fan opening.

* Keep the unit free of dirt and debris throughout the season.

* If you can shade your unit (without blocking airflow), even better: the shaded air around your system will be cooler, and a properly shaded system can operate up to 10 percent more efficiently over the course of the season.

Keeping your evaporator and condenser coils free of dirt and debris can improve your system's performance by as much as 10 percent. Just be careful with those fins. They're a little fragile and easily bent. It's best to use a special tool called a fin comb to straighten them. Those are available through your local home center or online. Be sure to buy the correct comb for the number of fins per inch your unit has.

Other Simple Steps to Savings

* Anything that obstructs the flow of air through your system reduces its efficiency and drives up your bill -- keep your registers clear of furniture, drapes and other obstructions.

* Keep all exterior doors and windows closed when operating the system.

* Raise your temperature setting. Raising the setting even 1 degree can lower your bill by as much as 9 percent over the course of the season.

* Keep your system set on "AUTO" and let your thermostat do its job. If you find you need to run the fan constantly to keep cool, it's time to call a technician.

* Set your system to recirculate the indoor air (if you have the option) rather than drawing outside air. Conditioning the warmer outside air takes far more energy than simply recirculating the already conditioned household air.

* A little money spent could equal a lot of money saved: have a qualified service technician check your system at least once a year. The technician will measure your refrigerant to see if it needs recharging, inspect your coils, measure air flow over the cooling coil, and will do a thorough inspection of the motor, compressor, air handler, and ducts (and of course, the air filter). The technician can spot potentially costly problems early or help you avoid them entirely.

For Owners of Older Houses

If you're still using a central air conditioning system manufactured during the 1970s, you're likely using 30-50 percent more energy than a more recently manufactured unit would use. Even if your unit is only ten years old, replacing it with a new, more efficient unit can save you 20-40 percent in cooling costs. Over the life of the unit, that's considerable savings, especially with energy costs continuing to rise.

There Is A Very High Probability That You Are Owed Missing Money! Surprised? Read Ahead!

Please do not labor under the wrong impression that you have been successful in keeping track of every cent that you own. In fact, eight out of nine families are owed unclaimed money or missing money. These families have no idea that they are actually owed money by the State. Well, this article will help you find out all you need to know about the unclaimed money owed to you and your family.

Old checking or saving accounts and even accounts that you had opened for your child or the account that you had opened when you were a child can be a source of unclaimed money.

Saving accounts is not the only source of unclaimed money. You may be owed money that you had invested in stocks or bonds. The dividends that have not been claimed by you yet can become unclaimed money. Even alimony or child support payments can lead to creation of unclaimed money.

Escheat laws require that money belonging to individuals who are beyond contact for a period of three years or more must be turned over the appropriate state or federal government.

The governments proceed to hold the money until the same is claimed by its lawful owners. However, the fact that 35 billion dollars is owed to individuals implies that the problem has not been properly communicated. Most have to claimed the money and there are many who do not even know that this problem exists.

The state and the federal agencies have created individual searchable databases for individuals who want to search for unclaimed money. However, performing more than fifty searches to perform a complete search of all the databases does not make any sense whatsoever. The whole process is too cumbersome to be performed efficiently.

Avoid the fifty+ searches and search the all-in-one-database. This single database is the solution to your problem of unclaimed money.

Bill McIntosh, who is the owner of the all-in-one-database Cashunclaimed.com, states that the inability of the individual to search the state databases properly and efficiently is one reason why the problem of unclaimed money is growing at a rapid pace. The limited search performed results in vital information being overlooked.

Simply rejoicing that you are owed unclaimed money is not sufficient. You will be recognized as a smart individual only if you go ahead and claim your missing money.

Once you have found the money owed to you, claiming the same is very easy. Fill out the claim and file the same with the state or the federal government. If you are owed multiple unclaimed money accounts, you will have to file multiple claims.

For most of the claims, submitting the driver’s license and/or the birth certificate is sufficient. However, certain claims require additional documentation like death certificates. In cases of inheritance money becoming unclaimed money, additional documentation is required.

Once the claim has been submitted, the claim is reviewed. Once the claim is reviewed, the payment is made. The whole process takes 2 to 16 weeks.

When you are searching for the unclaimed or missing money owed to you, do not forget your family and friends. Make sure you search whether unclaimed money is owed to your loved ones as well.

Now that you have all the necessary information, finding your missing money will not be a problem.

Frugal Living Tip - Giving Yourself a Reason to Save Money

In the US and much of the Western world, we equate money with happiness, even though our personal experience seldom gives us reason to believe that the old saying "you can't buy happiness" is anything less than true. We assure ourselves that if we only get a raise or get a better job or win the lottery, all of the stress of daily life will disappear and we'll have time for those things in life we really enjoy.

This would be true, at least partially, if making more money allowed us to have more money in the bank. However, each raise in pay also raises our desire to spend, so a promotion at work can actually put us farther into debt. How many people do we know who bring in over $100,000 a year who are still living paycheck to paycheck? How many lottery winners end up in bankruptcy court, wondering where all the money went and how they managed to make such a muddle of this windfall that should have set them up for a lifetime of financial security?

An option to spending as much or more than you make every month is to live frugally - and it's refreshing to see the increase in interest in the voluntary simplicity movement. Being intentionally frugal can actually bring you the financial security that a high-paying job cannot. In fact, if you go one step further to voluntary poverty, as I have, you may be able to quit that job and actually do something that could really make you feel fulfilled.

The one frugal living tip that makes the biggest difference is to simply keep track of everything you spend for at least a month. You probably won't keep it up for much longer than that, but it will give you an idea of where your money is going, and whether or not the money you spend on each item is really giving you the satisfaction you're paying for.

However, just keeping track won't help much unless you have a vision of another way of life that would really give you pleasure or contentment. Saving money for it's own sake feels like a sacrifice, but saving money so you can retire early and start that little farm you've always wanted would be a goal worth working for. Creating that goal may take some true soul searching and many deep conversations with your family.

When you come up with a goal you all agree on, decide how much time it will take to get there - this time frame is important, and you should be as realistic as you can. Do you want to own your own home without a mortgage? Will it take 5 years of frugal living? Or 10? Would you like to retire all your credit card debt? How long will it take?

Once you have that goal in mind, the best way to start putting money in the bank is to notice where you're spending your money now.

One thing most people discover is that the simple act of jotting down the $3 you spend on coffee every morning, plus every other small or large expenditure, will magically cause you to have money left over that you ever had before. Keeping track causes us to be mindful of our choices, and even without adding up any numbers or making any deep decisions, we save money by spending more consciously.

Once you have at least a few weeks' worth of figures, you're ready to get out the calculator. Divide the items on your list into any categories that seem reasonable - such as lunch at work, utilities, dog food... Then add up the columns to see how much you really spend.

Then, go one step further to give yourself a true shock - multiply the amount you spend on each unnecessary category, like your morning coffee at Starbucks, by the number of months you think it will take you to reach that long-term goal.

If you spend $3.50 each working day at the local coffee shop, it doesn't seem like a very big deal. Multiply that by the average of 20 working days a month, and you may be startled to realize that you spend $70 a month on coffee that you could make yourself in your own kitchen. But the real eye-opener comes when you multiply that $70 times the number of months you need to reach your goal of financial security.

If you are willing to spend 5 years in frugal living to pay down the mortgage on your house or pay off all your credit cards, multiply your monthly coffee money by 60 months, and you'll see $4200 on your calculator screen. That 's enough money for a down payment on a reasonably priced house, or to buy a good used car for your teenager. It's also enough to pay at least several month's mortgage payments, or to put in the bank for a medical emergency. $3.50 isn't an important amount of money, but to almost anyone I know, $4200 is a serious amount of cash.

Do the same calculation for everything on your list that isn't truly necessary, and you may discover that you can reduce the amount of time you need to reach your long-term goal by several years or more. If your credit card debts are weighing you down and causing daily stress, this simple frugal living tip could lead to a complete elimination of debt in just a year or less. In my mind, that's more important than a fancy cup of coffee.

Top Tips On How To Make Easy Money Online

Who wouldn’t want to make money online? You choose your hours, you can work from any location in the world and you can leverage your time in a way that makes having a job seem like the biggest waste of time imaginable!

However, it’s only easy to make money online if you do your homework first. The best way to make easy money online is surely to follow what other successful internet entrepreneurs do, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel. You could waste a ton of money and a lot of time trying to make money with, for instance, Google Adwords, or on eBay or with affiliate marketing and so on, if you simply log onto the website, create an account and start trading. There are proven techniques, tricks of the trade and short cuts to enable you to make money online quickly and successfully. There are also a lot of mistakes to be made and a lot of money to be wasted if you don’t know what you are doing.

Tip One is to study first, make money second.

So many people want everything for free and feel that if they have to buy information, they are somehow being ripped off. I bought a stack of information when I started out, and don’t feel that any of my money was wasted – yes, some information helped me more than others, but it was all a learning curve, and saved me wasting a fortune making mistakes. I learnt from the mistakes others had made instead. Think of it this way – if, in one year from now you are earning enough to walk away from the day job, would it be worth ‘going back to school’ and studying your new career path before you get started?

Tip Two is to have a variety of online businesses – some you will take to more than others, some will pay out sooner than others, but at the end of the day why put all your hopes on one business stream when you can have several?

Tip Three. Be patient. Give yourself a year or 18 months to really give your online career a chance. If you don’t see results as soon as you want them, don’t give up only to try something else that you may not stick at either. It takes time, for instance, for new websites to get ranked in the search engines, and although you can learn how to create a website that will rank well, you cannot cheat the system. What you can do, is learn search engine optimisation techniques and put them all into practice, which will reap you big rewards further down the line. (There’s a free e-book on my website about this).

Making money online can give you total financial freedom – you have to want it enough to work hard initially, so that you can then sit back and enjoy it. Follow the leaders, don’t imagine you don’t need anyone’s help, be a ‘sponge’ and learn all you can and kiss the day job ‘goodbye’.

E-Commerce - Easy money or Hard Knocks

When my wife and I got into the WWW. E-commerce world, we had visions of easy money and an auto pilot type of business. You know the kind that runs itself and the money just rolls in. Oh yeah, low start-up cost, little time, and low commitment. Just read the commercials and Internet ads.

The Internet can be your friend or it can bite you like a scared dog. Try researching, starting an Internet business. You will find every easy money method in the world. Here is a list of things to consider and these things are just the surface. This is not meant to scare you but to inform you of the reality, before you fall into the money pit. Just remember you have to give before you receive and sometimes we learn from the pain.

Websites necessities or basics:

Host/Server – to store all your files and images. E-mail and other perks. $8 to $12 month

Purchase your domain – www.mysite.com $8 to $???

Merchant/Credit Card service –Credit Card processing. This is a low price. $25Month, $15 service charge, and 30 cents per transaction and 2.5% of sales. (OUCH!)

Paypal – You can use Paypal for your payment option. It’s free. I don’t use it. Nothing is free.

Rent a ready-made store - Now you can go with a company who will host your site and provide a storefront for you. They will even give you products to sell. These are usually database type and provide no SEO. In other words, the only people who purchase from your site are your friends and family. No one can find your site in the Internet desert. You're on page 200 (if lucky). They run from $40 to $200 month.

Find a wholesaler? No problem, everyone is a wholesaler. What do you want to sell? Leather, Home Décor, Knives and Swords, Collectibles or maybe Kitchen cookware?

Where are the real wholesalers? The ones they buy from. There are many scams and scam tools for sale out there. Now try ordering from them. Late? Back Ordered? Packing? Drop ship costs? Shipping & Handling Costs? Drop ship or Inventory? Taxes???

Build your site - There are many templates out there that look good but if you don’t know how to program HTML forget it. You will probably buy a book or software that shows us dummies that we can create HTML websites without having to know HTML. On the outside it looks good, but on the inside they stink. How are you going to find the time and keep up with the latest in this "part time business"? Search Engine robots don't like bad programming among other things.

Gather Information - Now that you have a wholesaler, download all the prices and images. Create your spreadsheets to upload all the product information (change them to CSV or some delimited format. Or you may have to do this one at a time… Ahhh!

Fix the images - Adjust the resolution, size, etc. to fit your WebPages. Get the right software to do this…It will save you days of work and cost. I hope you get this done before the prices change or the item is discontinued. Remember that if you have more than one wholesaler, you have more than one tax and drop ship charge. You also have different information and images. They could be in other formats.

My wife and I thought an Internet Shopping Mall would be so cool. We could have different stores, oh boy…That’s where the name MallAboutTown.com came from. Oh yeah. Now you have to have a logo and a theme and all the right colors and, and, and.

It's kinda like building a house.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) - You should have been thinking about this from the start. Buy links, buy PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising, buy search engine submissions, buy content, submit articles and link to directories and other Websites, read, read, read and determine who is telling the truth.

After all the smoke clears, you will be in the hole a few bucks. When that first sale comes in you will feel like that golfer getting a hole in one. Then you're back at it, harder than ever. It’s an addiction. I guess it could be described as the spouse that won’t leave an abused relationship. Like any business, Internet business is not for the short-term commitment. There is so much I had to leave out because many things depend on what direction you take on this journey. Good Luck, remember if it’s too good to be true…..

Our advice is to personally talk to someone that is successfully operating E-commerce site, (not on E-bay) and get the facts. This is what made E-bay so popular. But even E-bay can be tough.

Good Luck,

Marc and Kemella Allyn

How To Identify Money-Making Properties!

There are a lot of the properties listed for sale each and every day. So many, that it can be overwhelming to decide on which properties might be good to buy for an investment. Maybe you are one of those individuals thinking about getting into real estate investing. Or maybe you are one of those individuals who already are investing, but have not been all that successful in finding those "diamonds in the rough". In either case, please read on and discover how to correctly identify money-making properties that will help you to realize huge profits time and time again.

Finding a realtor that you can trust is essential if you want to be successful in real estate investing. Without this "external" team member you are left using your gut and more than likely a lot of your time researching the market to help make your decision. Realtors can access information on properties in minutes that may take you hours or days to access, so use them!

When you do find a realtor that you can trust have them assist you with the following:

The property's asking price. Could you get it for less than what is being asked? A realtor can tell you.

The property's selling price and what repairs are going to be needed to get it sold for the same amount as other like homes in the area are selling for. You want to make sure your property is just a "notch above" the others in your market at your price range.

Find out how long like properties in the area have been on the market (on average). This will tell you the amount of time that you can expect until you flip it (if that's the route you're taking).

Find out the average sale price for like properties in your area also. This will help you decide how much to rehab (dollar amount and quality), and how much you can expect your house to sell for.

Next are some suggestions on how to identify a property. These tips will put you ahead of the competition in your area and help you to buy smart for huge profits:

Look for properties with large bedrooms. People like space. They don't want to walk into their bedroom and fall face down into the bed.

Look for openess in a floor plan. A very open floor plan can give the illusion of more space.

Try to locate properties with bigger kitchens. Why is this important, you may ask? The next time you have a party, take a look at where everyone gathers (understand?).

Make sure that the property you are considering has a dry basement and that the foundation is straight with no bowing. Wet basements mean leaks and leaks mean repairs, and repairs mean EXPENSES! In addition, wet basements can mean the dreaded four letter word, M-O-L-D. Steer clear of wet basements!

Find a property that has a maintenance-free exterior, such as a brick or maintenance-free vinyl siding. They're out there, you just got to look.

Consider the neighbors and the neighborhood. Come by at different times of the day to see how the neighborhood is. Is it loud? Are there a lot of kids who should be in school or people milling about who should be at work? Are there any abandoned cars? Are the neighbors' homes next to the property, across the street from the property, and behind the property in disrepair? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions--FIND ANOTHER PROPERTY!

Run a registered sex offender search for your area. You don't want to rent to a family and then find out that there is a sex offender living right next door.

Look for a property with a newer roof and mechanicals.

Find a property with some curb appeal.

These tips offered in this article should have you on your way to identifying money-making properties in no time. Once you get it down to a system, there will be no stopping you from making huge profits each and every time!

Money if Power

“Money is power.” This mantra is proclaimed again and again by businesses, politicians, and marketers. Most of us would have to admit that we give a certain amount of power to money. And if we are honest, most of us would admit that we find it nearly impossible to detangle money and power. So maybe we would do better to focus our energy on how we can make positive use of the power of money. One question to consider is, “What power to lead and influence others can spring forth from a more godly use and management of our resources?”

U.S. society can encourage us to comply with policies and actions that strengthen our own position, wealth, or security—and that also, whether consciously or not, hurt God’s children who are materially poor. This isn’t new to our time. The prophet Isaiah warned:

Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims…

What will you have to say on Judgment Day, when doomsday arrives out of the blue? … What good will your money do you? (Isaiah 10:1,3, from The Message)

What will we say on Judgment Day if our society makes laws that victimize—laws that make misery for the poor, rob destitute people of dignity, exploit the defenseless, take advantage of innocent children?

Speaking out of the same prophetic tradition in the context of Judgment Day, Jesus provides an alternative way to experience the power of money in Matthew 25:31-40. Jesus shows how the power of money and resources can be used to do good for others:

I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit me,
I was in prison and you came to me.

Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.

Money and power, power and money: Maybe they can’t be detangled, but that isn’t all negative. Instead we can listen to Jesus’ words and use the resources we have—as organizations, as families, as individuals—for the good of others.

How To Start Making Money Immediately


There is this popular saying that Internet is a Gold mine where money is literally scatterd on the table. But the fact still remains that a lot of people get frustrated in their bid to making money online. They read all kinds of things online and their greatest undoing is that they believe virtually every thing they read. And in the process they get hurt.

The fear of failure had always made a lot of people to stick to their 9 - 5 paid jobs even when such people no longer want those 9 - 5 jobs.O.B (Just Over Broke).

The big question here is: How can one make money from the internet and how soon can this be.

There are various ways one can make money on the internet. Basically, these are divided into two broad categories: 1) Having to sell your own goods and/or services, 2) Becoming an affiliate.

For the purpose of this article, we are concentrating on how to make money as an affiliate. This is because; you can achieve making money online almost immediately as an affiliate. The logistics of doing this is minimal. You may or may not have a web site. You do not need to have a customer service unit and there is no need for you to keep inventory of the goods being sold.

But who is an affiliate? An affiliate is a person who sells other people's products on the internet and receives a commission for every sale they make. A company sets up an affiliate program which gives them a unique URL that can be used to send traffic to their website. If a visitor purchases something from that website, the affiliate will earn either a percentage of the commission or a flat fee. Thousands of people make great incomes selling and promoting other people's products online.

The ability to make money online without having your own products and doing your own customer service has helped many people tremendously. If you are tired of being broke, doing the 9 – 5 job, disabled, or retired or sit at home mom or have any other desire to be able to work from any location, then affiliate marketing can provide an excellent source of income. Talk about financial freedom and time liberty. It's got them all.

Getting Started: As an affiliate, you need to wisely choose the products you want promoted. If you are new to the game, it is better to choose those low priced products with high commission rates. My recommendation is to have products that are priced less than $100 with a commission outlay of not less than 50%. Again, having selected your products, one of the first things you need do to start making money online is to build a list. It has always been said that the money is in the list. With a big list, you are as sure as being a successful affiliate. However, people will teach you how to create a webpage, and how to drive traffic to your site but you don't get a ready made list. You have to build one. The question here is how one who is new to internet business builds his or her list. This brings us to the second point.

Setup A Squeeze Page: To start building your list immediately, you will need to set up a squeeze page. This is where you send your customers who are searching for your information and products, to enter their names and email addresses in order to get that information. You build your list this way. Nevertheless, your squeeze page must have these four basic necessities:

1) An attention grabbing headline
2) A benefit list of why someone should give you their name and email address
3) A call to action telling your prospects what to do and why they should do it
4) An offer – what are you giving them in exchange for their names and email addresses.

Article Writing and Submission: In marketing your products, article writing comes very effective. This is the most effective ways of driving free traffic to yoyr site. You write articles that relate to the particular niche in which you are involved in. By the time people read your articles consistently, you become an authority in such niches and when you recommend any product to them they are more likely to purchase from you. You can always get Ghost writers to write articles for you. So this shouldn't worry you if you can not do it. Furthermore, you should have a very interesting resource box that shows your prospects how to locate your website and invariably buy your products. You can therefore submit your articles to article directories to help drive traffic to your site.

Promoting Your Products Using Paid Advertisement: This is about the best form of promoting your business except for the cost. However, in advertising through pay-per-clicks at the search engines like google, overture, yahoo etc, you only pay when prospects click on your ads requesting for your information. But by and large, if this is done well, this is the best and fastest way of achieving your goal of making money online.

Though these tools are not exhaustive in helping you to make money online, they will nonetheless jump start your making money online in any of your chosen niches. You are yor greatest obstacle to making money online. Set goals and dedicate yourself to those goals. You may not turn into a super affiliate overnight, but with experience and dedication you will be on your way to making a reasonable income online working from the comfort of your home.

There Is A Very High Probability That You Are Owed Missing Money! Surprised? Read Ahead!


Please do not labor under the wrong impression that you have been successful in keeping track of every cent that you own. In fact, eight out of nine families are owed unclaimed money or missing money. These families have no idea that they are actually owed money by the State. Well, this article will help you find out all you need to know about the unclaimed money owed to you and your family.

Old checking or saving accounts and even accounts that you had opened for your child or the account that you had opened when you were a child can be a source of unclaimed money.

Saving accounts is not the only source of unclaimed money. You may be owed money that you had invested in stocks or bonds. The dividends that have not been claimed by you yet can become unclaimed money. Even alimony or child support payments can lead to creation of unclaimed money.

Escheat laws require that money belonging to individuals who are beyond contact for a period of three years or more must be turned over the appropriate state or federal government.

The governments proceed to hold the money until the same is claimed by its lawful owners. However, the fact that 35 billion dollars is owed to individuals implies that the problem has not been properly communicated. Most have to claimed the money and there are many who do not even know that this problem exists.

The state and the federal agencies have created individual searchable databases for individuals who want to search for unclaimed money. However, performing more than fifty searches to perform a complete search of all the databases does not make any sense whatsoever. The whole process is too cumbersome to be performed efficiently.

Avoid the fifty+ searches and search the all-in-one-database. This single database is the solution to your problem of unclaimed money.

Bill McIntosh, who is the owner of the all-in-one-database Cashunclaimed.com, states that the inability of the individual to search the state databases properly and efficiently is one reason why the problem of unclaimed money is growing at a rapid pace. The limited search performed results in vital information being overlooked.

Simply rejoicing that you are owed unclaimed money is not sufficient. You will be recognized as a smart individual only if you go ahead and claim your missing money.

Once you have found the money owed to you, claiming the same is very easy. Fill out the claim and file the same with the state or the federal government. If you are owed multiple unclaimed money accounts, you will have to file multiple claims.

For most of the claims, submitting the driver’s license and/or the birth certificate is sufficient. However, certain claims require additional documentation like death certificates. In cases of inheritance money becoming unclaimed money, additional documentation is required.

Once the claim has been submitted, the claim is reviewed. Once the claim is reviewed, the payment is made. The whole process takes 2 to 16 weeks.

When you are searching for the unclaimed or missing money owed to you, do not forget your family and friends. Make sure you search whether unclaimed money is owed to your loved ones as well.

Now that you have all the necessary information, finding your missing money will not be a problem.

Frugal Living Tip - Giving Yourself a Reason to Save Money


In the US and much of the Western world, we equate money with happiness, even though our personal experience seldom gives us reason to believe that the old saying "you can't buy happiness" is anything less than true. We assure ourselves that if we only get a raise or get a better job or win the lottery, all of the stress of daily life will disappear and we'll have time for those things in life we really enjoy.

This would be true, at least partially, if making more money allowed us to have more money in the bank. However, each raise in pay also raises our desire to spend, so a promotion at work can actually put us farther into debt. How many people do we know who bring in over $100,000 a year who are still living paycheck to paycheck? How many lottery winners end up in bankruptcy court, wondering where all the money went and how they managed to make such a muddle of this windfall that should have set them up for a lifetime of financial security?

An option to spending as much or more than you make every month is to live frugally - and it's refreshing to see the increase in interest in the voluntary simplicity movement. Being intentionally frugal can actually bring you the financial security that a high-paying job cannot. In fact, if you go one step further to voluntary poverty, as I have, you may be able to quit that job and actually do something that could really make you feel fulfilled.

The one frugal living tip that makes the biggest difference is to simply keep track of everything you spend for at least a month. You probably won't keep it up for much longer than that, but it will give you an idea of where your money is going, and whether or not the money you spend on each item is really giving you the satisfaction you're paying for.

However, just keeping track won't help much unless you have a vision of another way of life that would really give you pleasure or contentment. Saving money for it's own sake feels like a sacrifice, but saving money so you can retire early and start that little farm you've always wanted would be a goal worth working for. Creating that goal may take some true soul searching and many deep conversations with your family.

When you come up with a goal you all agree on, decide how much time it will take to get there - this time frame is important, and you should be as realistic as you can. Do you want to own your own home without a mortgage? Will it take 5 years of frugal living? Or 10? Would you like to retire all your credit card debt? How long will it take?

Once you have that goal in mind, the best way to start putting money in the bank is to notice where you're spending your money now.

One thing most people discover is that the simple act of jotting down the $3 you spend on coffee every morning, plus every other small or large expenditure, will magically cause you to have money left over that you ever had before. Keeping track causes us to be mindful of our choices, and even without adding up any numbers or making any deep decisions, we save money by spending more consciously.

Once you have at least a few weeks' worth of figures, you're ready to get out the calculator. Divide the items on your list into any categories that seem reasonable - such as lunch at work, utilities, dog food... Then add up the columns to see how much you really spend.

Then, go one step further to give yourself a true shock - multiply the amount you spend on each unnecessary category, like your morning coffee at Starbucks, by the number of months you think it will take you to reach that long-term goal.

If you spend $3.50 each working day at the local coffee shop, it doesn't seem like a very big deal. Multiply that by the average of 20 working days a month, and you may be startled to realize that you spend $70 a month on coffee that you could make yourself in your own kitchen. But the real eye-opener comes when you multiply that $70 times the number of months you need to reach your goal of financial security.

If you are willing to spend 5 years in frugal living to pay down the mortgage on your house or pay off all your credit cards, multiply your monthly coffee money by 60 months, and you'll see $4200 on your calculator screen. That 's enough money for a down payment on a reasonably priced house, or to buy a good used car for your teenager. It's also enough to pay at least several month's mortgage payments, or to put in the bank for a medical emergency. $3.50 isn't an important amount of money, but to almost anyone I know, $4200 is a serious amount of cash.

Do the same calculation for everything on your list that isn't truly necessary, and you may discover that you can reduce the amount of time you need to reach your long-term goal by several years or more. If your credit card debts are weighing you down and causing daily stress, this simple frugal living tip could lead to a complete elimination of debt in just a year or less. In my mind, that's more important than a fancy cup of coffee.

How to Make Money From Blogging


Blogs are a great way to share facts, ideas and opinions directly between people, but also, they are a viable way to earn money. In fact, earning money with blogs is something just about anyone can do. Making money with blogs is completely dependent on your audience and you’re ability to attract people to click on the advertisements. Blogs are simple to set up, and relatively easy to update. As many as 75,000 blogs are created every day—almost one per second!

If you are looking to start making money on the internet and you have a budget that is very small or zero, blogging is a great way to get started. You can set-up a free blog and join advertisement programs for free. The only cost involved in setting up a blog is your time.

Although there are many factors involved in making money with your blog, there are a few vital keys to remember when setting up, maintaining and promoting your blog in order to achieve success.

1. Your blog needs to have the right layout in order for your adsense ads to be “clickable” by visitors. Choosing an advertisement’s location, size and color is very important and is something you will need to constantly test and tweak to determine which formats produce the most clicks. It’s amazing how one small change can produce monumental results. There are also many other ways to make money with your blog than with adsense alone. You could promote affiliate products and implement contextual advertising such as Kontera.

2. Your blog will need lots and lots of traffic. This is really a no-brainer, yet it’s the greatest challenge of any website owner. The encouraging reality is that there are more ways to generate traffic for your blog than ever before. This is due to the emergence of Web 2.0 sites like YouTube and social bookmarking sites. Many of these sites provide great sources for one-way links to your blog. Getting hundreds, even thousands of quality links is a must if you expect significant traffic to your blog. There are also many SEO tools on the market now such as directory and article submitters that will help you get thousands of backlinks to your blog quickly and save lots of valuable time.

3. Your blog will need to be updated frequently. You cannot expect return visitors if your blog is not a source of fresh information. You can use RSS feeds to provide your blog with relative information, however you will need to add personal posts as well at least once or twice per week. This will increase your blog’s search engine rankings and also help brand you as an expert in your niche.

Blogging is a great way to share your thoughts and ideas online, but it’s also a powerful money-making tool. Making money with blogs is fairly simple if you know what to do and if you’re willing to invest the time and effort necessary to make it profitable.
