Easy Ways For Beginners To Make Money On The Internet

By Biblo Z. Whutzowski

The Internet can help the average person earn a lot of money from home. Everyday someone or some company puts their feet in the water, to try and get their share. We all want to make money in our socks and underwear, and the internet provides the opportunity for many to do just that. Furthermore, there are a gazillion online companies that will quickly tell you that making a gazillion dollars on the web is easy and requires absolutely no work; and that they can tell you how for only $99. What a crock of lies.

The truth is that there are many dollars to be made online. You are able to make that money from the comfort of your own home, but it takes work. No one is going to give you that money for free. Before wasting your money, remember a few things.

You can learn a lot about making money on the Internet by just going to Google and searching for related information. It does not mater which one. Simple ways to make money abound on the net, but it requires that you be willing to do some research and some planning. You are not going to get rich overnight or even within weeks, it does not matter what all the experts may promise. Simple money does not necessarily mean easy money. Here are some simple methods that you can easily follow. It's not rocket science.

I have developed a list of a few things you should keep in mind before rushing head first into your first internet million. Just like with any brick and mortar business, there is absolutely no guarantee that your internet business will succeed; and you may have to make several attempts before you find something that works for you. However, if you follow the steps below, it will at least give you a head start in the thought process you will need to make a go of it.

Before rushing out and throwing your money away, sit down and decide how you're going to make money. Decide right away whether you are looking at providing a service or product or if you are going to go the affiliate route. Affiliate marketing is popular but can take time to get up and running.

You should consider purchasing the product or service you want to sell. This will give you valuable insight into the product or service. Try to be the guy with the answers that everyone comes to for everything concerning your products or services. The more people trust you, the more likely they are to buy from you. If you don't come across as an expert, then you'll fail in gaining their trust, and their money.

Select a domain name that introduces you properly. It should let potential customers know something about you prior to their first visit to the site. Research SEO procedures. SEO stands for Search Enging Optimization and understanding this is on key to success. Once you grasp the concept, you will show up higher on results on the search engines. Your goal should be to get your site in the top 3 on the first page of any search engine.

Be authoritative and informative as well as offering services or products for sale on the website you develop.

Wait until you have a steady income from your website before considering quitting your full time job. There are many simple ways to make money on the internet; but it can take time to find the system that works for you.

Shopping Online Versus Retail

By Steve Persipidus

Internet shopping can give you a sea of goods and services at discount prices. Because of this, online shopping is becoming the number one form of shopping.

Online malls are rapidly growing as more and more retail stores are closing there door. As the retail stores dwindle it is becoming harder and harder to find one with a good selection of what you are looking for.

Last weel I found an advertisement at a retail store that had a backpack I was looking for. I though this was great because I thought I could save a little money with the sale. However when I got there the store only carried one color and it was not the color I was looking for. The sales associate at the store told me they could get one in about a week.

So what did I do? I went home and went online. I found the correct backpack and ordered it online at a cheaper price with free shipping. I had the pack in four days.

In my opinion this is part of the problem of why retail stores are not retaining customers. Yes the economy has a part to play, however if the store does have what you want then why shop there. As the financial pressure grows the store with poor service and lack of inventory will sink.

It does not matter what you are looking for. Whether it is a necklace, perfume, computer, toy, or video games; Online malls offer just about everything.

Finding an online mall that offers wholesale pricing is icing on the cake. Most web malls are set up similar to department store or the specialty retail store you are used to. In my opinion why shop anywhere else.

My only suggestion when shopping online is to find that mall that fits what you are looking for. Just as you would if you were shopping retail, not everystore has what you need. By shopping online you will save time, gas money and lower your stress.

As the online shopping experience continues to grow coupled with the poor economy, you will see many more retail stores shut down. With this in mind, be aware that if you purchase a product from a store and it comes with a warranty, be sure that your warranty will be honored if they shutdown. Otherwise you are paying for a warranty in the price that means nothing. Online is the way to go.

Caution: Heed This Warning Before Working On Your Computer

By Kermil J. Fogarth

If youre going to open up your personal computer case to check some computer hardware components or clean up the hardware you must take the precautions listed. Computer motherboards and components, such as the sound card, video card, and memory, contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. It is necessary to protect computers against damage from static electricity. A brief explanation of static is its a major contributing factor in the breakdown of computers. Eliminating the damage from ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) can save a lot of money. Here are some things you must remember and precautions to follow whenever you work on your computer.

1. After turning off the computer, unplug the power cord to make sure there is no power to the motherboard.

2. Capacitors inside the computer can store an electric charge for a short period of time after turning off and unplugging the computer so it is wise to wait a few minutes after disconnecting the power plug before actually opening the PC case.

3. A properly grounded wrist strap may be gotten from an electronics store to prevent ESD. Use one of these before touching any components inside such as hard drive, video card, memory stick, etc. If a grounded wrist strap is not available then make sure you touch a grounded object such as a metal pipe to discharge any built up static so you don't "Shock" your components.

4. To avoid damage due to static electric discharge, hold circuit boards by the edges and avoid touching the individual components, wires, chips, or capacitors.

5. If you are going to remove components from the system, connect up an anti-static mat or use the bag the component came in to place them on and prevent static discharge. Also be aware the hard drive is heavy and can easily slip out of your hand and if dropped may very well not work again.

6. Never, ever open items labeled as non-serviceable. Components labeled "No Serviceable Components Inside" are not a challenge because opening them up could lead to serious injury. Some parts of your computer just aren't meant to be repaired. The power supply is one such item and should be replaced if defective, don't attempt to repair it.

Remember that you are responsible for protecting yourself from injuries and from causing damage to your computer. A common incident is loss of stored data due to a hard drive crash. These are some simple things to remember that will protect you, your computer and most of all the data stored on your computer.

Superior Balls And Cues: The Key To Any Game of Billiards

By Chuck R Stewart

If you are seriously considering making a major upgrading job in your game room by investing on billiards essentials like high quality pool cues, then you do have a lot of things to cover as the cost is nothing to sneeze about. A pool cue alone can make you part with a paltry $50 up to an astounding amount as high as $5,000! Thus, it is important that you have your right pool cue in mind previous to your purchase of one.

Before you set out for some serious shopping for the right billiard cues, it is important that you do some serious research and study of things about this most important item in your game room.

When you are looking for the appropriate billiard cues, you must decide which is the type you prefer. The production stocks are generally computer designed and are the types of cues that are mass-produced. On the other hand, the custom-made billiard cues are handcrafted and are normally made from exotic and special materials as per specifications of the buyer. It is custom-fitted for your needs and requirements and is usually based on your body and skill level.

It is an accepted norm that the choice of billiard cues depends solely on your personal preference and style. However, there are still other things that need to be considered in order to ensure that you dont spend too much money on a cue that isnt worth very much.

If you want to focus on the most important aspect of a cue, then it should be the size of the billiard cue. The size should be adjusted especially if you have long arms. The shortest cue stick normally measures about 57 inches.

When you are selecting your cue stick, pay particular attention to the quality of it and the wood its made of. Inspect the cue sticks for crookedness or undesirable flaws in the wood. The simple way to check if the cue stick is straight is by rolling the cue stick on a flat surface. You can also site down by pointing the tapered tip of the cue stick down|eyeball it.

You have to believe the cue experts when they say that the tip is the most important part of the billiard cue. Notwithstanding its recognized importance, many arguments have arisen about which part is the most important. If you want a fair degree of control in your cue stick, then you should opt for the hard tip. On the other hand, if you tend to do a lot of English when making your shots then a soft tip will be your friend. Nonetheless, you will have to use both of these types of cue sticks depending on the situation and shot selection.

The size of the tip of your cue stick matters. The diameter of the tip ranges from a low 12 mm to a maximum of 14 mm. The tip should not be flat, but rounded. Before you make your final choice of your cue stick, make sure that you have made the rounds and checked out all the possible choices. It is important that you spend money on the particular cue stick that can help you make perfect shots.

Here's How The Pros Make Money Day Trading

By Sam Lockwood

Day trading is one of the many possible ways to profit by buying and selling stocks. It uses the volatile nature of the market in a single day. Since the current market is seeing some of the widest daily swings since the late 1990s, it's a great market for day traders!

Via short selling, day trading can be used to get a profit from stocks, even when indicators tell you prices are going down. In every case, day traders will be working with a broker, and they'll be watching two major indicators. These are the TDISC and the NDIX. At the start of the day, these two indicators will broadly tell you what's happening in several different exchanges. When the market's going down, the TDISC will drop more than two thousand ticks within the first half hour of opening. If the market's going up, the NDIX will rise more than two thousand ticks in that thirty minutes.

The rapid fluctuations that can happen over the course of a single day are what day traders use to make their money. They have to buy and sell quickly. That's why day trading is both a great way to make a big profit and a fast way to lose it all. You're never buying for the long term, so it can be tempting to buy lots and skip researching. You might get lucky trying this, but most of the time it doesn't work.

Day trading really is a job, rather than a passive income source. If you're thinking about starting it, you need to have the right training. This could come through an online course or a seminar. No matter how you learn about day trading, you need to be able to get into it with your eyes open.

In addition, you'll need to have a brokerage account. After all, short selling is one of the most important tricks day traders have to use. Short selling is when you borrow a share of a given stock from your broker, then sell it right away. You expect to buy another share later on to give back when it comes due. Profit comes to you when the price of stock drops after you sell. Time things right and understand the market well, and you can do very well.

The opposite of short selling is deciding to borrow or buy a share of stock at one price, then selling it the same day for a higher price.

If you're going to get into day trading, you have to have excellent skills of observation and strong nerves. You also need to have a short memory - at least when you want to. That's because you're going to see losses and you have to be able to look at them objectively and without panicking.

One thing that is possible, using the right tutorials and programs, is doing day trading from your home. You need to have a very good plan to execute your trades, and you must make sure you accomplish them before the last half hour of the trading day.

Keyword Research in Internet Based Marketing

By Joe Cotroneo

Do you have any idea how common keyword research is? There is not one minute, one hour or one day that passes that a writer has not typed in a specific keyword into one of the many online search engines to get some sort of idea about the subject they will write their next article about. Is it a good idea to do a bit of keyword research whenever you are going to write an article about a subject that is unknown by you or one that you know very little about? The answer to this is yes and no. Keyword research can be very helpful, especially when you do not have a clue about the subject you are writing about.

However, it can sometimes slow you down as well and even get you into big trouble with any client because of copying someone else's words without their permission, this is called plagiarism and it is very serious. The online world is filled up with various types of plagiarism and the majority of respectable clients will not accept it, however, they will insist on quality content that is entirely original. Who can blame them when it is illegal?

It may appear to be a very good idea to do a bit of keyword research before beginning the actual writing of a new article. However, you have to be extremely careful that you do not use any more than three particular words together from the original text you have found while researching. There are programs out there to catch this, such as Copyscape. When they are found, the program will highlight that particular phrase as being suspect. This simply means that you will have extra work to do by having to revise the part of your article so that it is no longer the same as the original phrase. Doing so can cause you to lose a client and give you a bad name, thereby influencing whether or not you even find other clients to work for if you let it happen to very often.

What about those times when you are not planning to write an article for someone else to read when doing keyword research because you want to learn how to do it and see what you can find while you research keywords or keyword phrases? Well then, you can search for anything you like when you are not planning on using any of the information that your find in searches in an article or paper.

When you are researching for your own personal information and will not be including it in something to be read by the general public you can search out anything you want to. Does this mean that you cannot copy any information that you find on any web page for your own personal research or when you want to print out a whole web page? Understandably, the answer is no.

Sell Your E-book Through Articles

By Stephen Beck

Marketing information products like e-books is a great way to make more money online. Before you begin writing, you will need to research a topic online (check out our online articles for more information). Once the research and writing is completed, its time to sell your e-book online, using a single page website.

What is one of the best ways to get more visitors to buy your e-book?

Articles, of course! When you write articles around the key word phrases from your e-book research, you will increase the backward links to your e-book. This is done with a link at the bottom of each of those articles leading people back to your e-book page. At the bottom of your article, you can write something about the author and what you will give them when they arrive at your website. Some people call this your ethical bribe.

Lets say your article offers tips on saving money. At the end of your article, add a couple of sentences that encourage visitors to your site. For example, "Stephen Beck has written extensively on ways to enjoy a lavish wedding on a minimal budget. Visit his website to get your free report on Saving Money While Still Having a Great Wedding. Click here for your free copy."

By clicking on that link, customers are taken to your single page website advertising your e-book. A pop-up requests their name and e-mail address, allowing you to send them a free report on saving money. Not only do you collect contact information, but you benefit from a steady stream of visitors to your website, all fascinated by your topic.

After you write the article, use it for massive e-book promotion. Send it to all the article directories, all the e-zine directories on the Internet. Webmasters love free articles, and rarely have the time to write their own. They dont care that your articles direct the reader to your own website; they only care about content.

By adding articles to webpages and blogs, you gained a reputation as an expert in your field. The backward links (at the bottom of each article) increase traffic to your website, while increasing your ranking in the search engines. This drives a stream of visitors to your webpage, increasing e-book sales.

Currency Trading Online - Great Reward And Risk

By John Eather

Available online currencies: The list of online currencies available for trade on the foreign currency market is almost endless depending on the program, software or interface you use. The most commonly traded currencies in the world are US Dollar/Yen, Euro/UD Dollar, GBP/US Dollar, US Dollar/ Can Dollar, US Dollar/ Franc and Australian Dollar/ US Dollar.

Trading rates: The software will come standard with a trading rate calculator in real-time value. However it's important to also know the formula use to calculate the conversion rates. The formula is as follows Y-to-X exchange rate =1/ X-to-Y exchange rate.

Thumbs up: Access by a mere click of a mouse to this very liquid market, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, makes trading so much more attractive. Gearing and Leverage limits risk to some extent while giving greater profit possibilities. The option of setting order limits and setting up loss strategies is another super advantage. Bear markets can be turned around to bull markets by using long and short positions at the correct time with the most favourable pair values.

Disadvantages to online: To be successful in the foreign currency markets, you have to have a good knowledge and understanding of the market type. Do not be an impulsive buyer and seller, have a strategy or plan and follow it to a t. Do not transact with funds you do not have or are willing to possibly loose. Volatility is the greatest disadvantage. Your risk and reward must balance. Significant moves occur everyday in this market making prices extremely sensitive. Leverage can also work against you with margin calls taking place when risk is too high for your account size.

Risk is real: Risks are just as real as rewards when it comes to forex trade. The trades are conducted spot, over-the-counter. Counter-parties are dealt with directly with no middleman or third party to provide some security. Clearing houses are not used at all, making the risk greater by furnishing no guarantees. Due to the fact that forex markets where establish for speculation mainly, traders have a tendency to be reckless and impulsive. It should be kept in mind that you are at risk of possible losing your total cash balance should even a very small market move occur.

Corporate GREEN

By John Pilmer

Being green should not rest not only on individuals but also our corporate entities. We truly need to draw our attention and give a little green pr to those companies that have taken the initiatives to make changes to their work places that make our planet better. Meaning everything from, reducing air pollution, planting green roofs, installing energy efficient machinery, etc.

One area that has been enlightened in most towns from the largest to the smallest is within the realm of being "earth friendly". Recycling is now part of our vocabulary with an understanding of its importance to our world. It is great that we are seeing a sense of pride in our land. With our planet so plentiful in rich resources, it's about time we begin to take the time to appreciate it. Being "green" is a new trend that is invading our culture; as it should. When we educate people just how simple it is to make a difference they want to join in.

Today, if you search the internet for earth friendly products you will be amazed. People are genuinely interested in preserving and the whole "reduce, reuse, recycle" concept has really captured many in this generation.

Many websites are dedicated to the sole purpose of selling handmade products, to sites that allow you to trade for free things you are ready to get rid of, and the list would go on. Multiple ways that people are being intentional in using less and gaining more.

As a society we are constantly being made aware of our ever changing planet. Basically, how we interact with our world affects not only us. It's strange to ponder just how global our world has become. Of course, many will dispute the positives and negatives to this reality.

Getting Links to Your Website

By Matthew Kepnes

If you want to rank high in search results, you need to build links to your website. Google is a popularity contest. The way it determines who is the best for a search term is to see who links the most to another site. The theory is that if everyone is linking to one site, it must be the best. So in order to rank high, you should build links. There are many ways to build links.

If youre trying to rank for red widgets, the ideal links from other sites that also talk about red widgets or widgets in general. Links from sites in your niche or the overall niche (i.e. travel) are what you want to go find. Links from non related sites dont count nearly as much and have a lot weaker value. The further from your niche, the less the link will help you. You want a lot of links, from a lot of websites that are of good quality, in an area as closely related to your site as possible.

A favorite of link builder is to submit their site to web directories. Though this process may seem monotonous and boring, it can yield a rich harvest of back links. One should remember that quality of the websites which link to you must be good. Search engine algorithms are becoming smarter, more intelligent and nuanced and relevance has become important. One can even submit to blog directories to manage better ranking on search engines.

Submitting articles and stories based on your website to article directories can create useful back links. If the articles are picked up by other websites, they can create additional links. The content and relevance of the articles can be crucial in link building exercise.

A little while back link farms used to be a favorite with web masters. These link farms would provide thousands of links. But the Search engines became smarter and penalized these websites. In effect, instead of managing a better ranking these websites were relegated and even blacklisted. Obviously, this brute method to fool search engines I no longer in favor.

By using these ways to build links you will ensure that your website ranks high in search terms. Remember that there are many ways to build links and a smart person uses all of them to diversify how they build links. The best link profile has many different types of links. If you follow that simple principle and work hard, you'll find great success.

Have You Got Low CTR But OK Traffic?

By Michael Flum

In OK to Make Money Online today, let's look at why your CTR (click through rate) just dropped to the floor. Maybe a friend, co-worker, or an article you read told you the latest thing was the new social networks, and that these networks could drive loads of traffic to your site. Then it occurred to you -- more traffic, more money. But your CTR starting dropping just after you started getting tons of traffic from one of the social networks! Why?

Did you happen to notice at about the same time, Google started sending groups of ads to your make money site instead of the single high performance ad? On the other hand, did your ads turn into public address ads? Now listen up: social traffic is not buying traffic. Google and the advertisers already know this, and they will downgrade your ads to low performing ads. The advertiser wants qualified, targeted buyers for their products or services. They want people in the mood to buy so they can make money. They know some will be researching and some just looking, but if they did their job right, the customer will be back to buy.

So how does this affect your CTR (click through rate)? Simple -- most traffic directed from a social site is not there to buy, they are just checking things out. This will produce a very low CTR and very low conversion (sales). Google will detect this and replace your high-performing ads with generally low-performing ads. So you will not make money or at best very little.

Remember, your job is to promote your keyword, which is most likely a product or service to make money. While promoting your keyword, you help Google. How? By giving the buyer an entry or landing place for his search request, which you in turn points them to your site, and ultimately on to the advertiser. If we have all done our jobs, and the buyer and advertiser are happy, we get paid.

What can you do? Simple: give your readers good content and a reason to come back. Second, make sure you site is keyword-optimized on every page you write or display. Third, work on getting your name higher in the SERP by writing more articles with good content, but holding back some so the readers are drawn back to your site. Fourth, get more back-links. Fifth, if you don't have a buzz or a new "got to have it," stop sending social traffic to your site. Google will thank you with better-performing ads. And in the end, isn't that what you want when you make money?

Can You Increase Site Traffic With Keyword Research

By Fred James

Would you be interested in understanding what keywords Google think are the most related to your search query? Would you like the results to be updated all the time? How about getting hold of the information for free?



And furthermore what about if I mentioned that you could retrieve all the information using nothing but your favorite browser and a standard Google search?

At least a little bit interested? Then continue reading....

Firstly lets start with the basics and spend a moment discussing relevance, as this term is at the very core of Googles search engine results.

Google wants to provide the person searching with the most accurate and relevant results that it can. Google know that if they do not provide this information, it's probable that searchers will stop using their services completely, and no users means no Adwords revenues which is their main source of income!

For a prime example of a search engine losing market share, spare a thought for AltaVista? In its time it was the most popular search engine, and almost overnight (not quite) lost the crown to Google because they lost the plot with relevance.

I don't think there is such a thing as search engine loyalty (at least not for the non Internet Marketing search engine person). If a better alternative comes along, the everyday user will just start using that service.

Trust me when I say The Powers To Be At Google are very conscious of this, and put enormous resources into ensuring that when you search for something, the results that come back are highly related to your the search term you used.

They have to keep the average searcher happy so that they return Google all the time.

Shred Internet Marketers have, of course located methods to "game" Google in previous years, so that their own web pages come up in place of what should be the most relevant results, and such tricks are still used in modern times.

Mostly these tricks are located by Google who is getting cleverer at finding these types of hacks.

Google seems to get it right most of the time, and certainly more than the other major search engines at this point in time.

Ok so given that Google is now returning the most relevant results and has the largest user base compared to any other search engine, and that its clear that their primary goal is info relevance to their searchers, doesn't it make sense to go to their search results and be using this information more when conducting keyword research?

For example lets say your searching for the keyword phrase web traffic

When I typed in search term into google, I got a list of current pages that Google tell us are the most relevance to that search term (along with a host of ads).

But in additional to these results at the bottom of the page they also provide (and here is the key)....

Searches RELATED to: increase site traffic (Their words).

Hmm interesting a list of keywords that Google think are relevant to my search.

Google actually display to you the keywords that they deem to be the most relevant to your search phrase.

If you do some research about this, there is lots of speculation on how google decide on what phrases are displayed, but no matter what you think I think it's certainly worth looking at, isn't it?

In my testing I found the keywords it came up with seemed to be keywords heavily searched on.

In the case of web traffic, the keyword phrases I got back were

increase web traffic free web traffic buy web traffic google web traffic web traffic report web traffic generator web traffic monitoring measure web traffic

They all seem pretty related to my original search.

And you can drill down by clicking on a phrase to get relevant keywords to that search term. For example I could have selected increase web traffic and received a list of related phrases that relate to that term.

This is getting interesting. Before you pass on this method compared to using your favorite keyword tool, It's my suggestion consider the following.

1) The information from these searches are directly from Googles Server, so the information has not been corrupted in any way.

Many keyword research tools don't use information from Google at all (Wordtracker) or combine data from many sources. Here we have information direct from the source!

2) The information returned from Google is of course very up to date, unlike a lot of other keyword research data that can be months out of date.

I am not suggesting that you get rid of all other keyword tools in favor of this method, but I do recommend you check it out. With all the latest whiz bang all conquering, overly hyped software tools that seemingly gets released everyday, sometimes it pays to take a step back and go back to just using a very simple method like searching in Google!

In my case, I actually use this method in conjunction with other keyword tools, and get the best out of both worlds. My two favorite keyword research tools currently are Nichebot and Market Samurai (google them).

I find the best use of this technique is when searching new niches, or when trying to establish the viability of entering a particular niche.

One last thing to note is that unfortunately not all keywords are supported. Sometimes there are no related searches are provided for a given keyword, but given that it's free I'm happy to overlook that oversight.

And sometimes I have to say the terms returned seem a little weird. But this seems to be in more unusual niches that perhaps Google have not collected enough information for (my speculation).

Get out there and have a look at the related search function in Google. The search terms returned might end up being very useful.

How To Find Money In The Travel Business

By Gary Mooney

The travel business opportunities!

What can the travel business offer you? Think about this: unlimited travel commissions, a home-based business, discounted travel packages and so much more! But you should know that this is only the tip of the iceberg. If you really pursue this business opportunity, you can go for so much more! But you have to admit that this would be a pretty good start.

People like you and me can easily have a home-based business selling travel packages to people. When we have sold these packages, we can earn money through travel commissions. If you're still skeptical about this business opportunity presented to you, let's have a short lecture on the laws of economics.

The economic principle behind it.

Plane tickets are normally cheaper when you book them in advance compared to buying them from the airport. Now, this happens because airlines are confident that they will still be able to fill their seats. However, what happens when airlines realize that the plane may not be filled before take-off? Now, when the plane is not filled, the airline shoulders the exact expense for things like fuel and salaries. In order to lessen that loss with one flight, they pad the prices of plane tickets bought by incidental passengers.

The principle behind wholesale travel is the same principle behind wholesale goods except you look at it in terms of plane tickets and not food products. You see, a plane can have a seating capacity ranging from 20 to as many as 200. For a specific plane, each take-off costs the same, however the number of passengers inside may not be. So when an airplane takes off with a few empty seats, they are actually losing a lot. So what they do is they stratify the prices of plane tickets. Advance bookings get cheaper rates while over-the-counter exchanges are much more expensive.

But, because we are dealing with wholesale travel, we ensure these airlines that all seats will be filled and they give us the leeway to charge less per ticket. This is the kind of cooperation that happens within the travel business. When this happens, the challenge for the travel agencies is selling these plane tickets. This is why our contributions will be vital to the company. Being distributors, they need our capabilities to fulfill that promise to the airlines.

So how do you begin engaging in this business? Multi-level marketing or MLM is a form of network marketing that uses nothing but word-of-mouth. That is your only investment in the business, your ability to talk to people and convince them of how much savings they can make. As mentioned before, this can easily be a home-based business. More than that, you don't have to fulfill a quota. If you don't sell any travel packages, you don't earn anything-but you also don't lose anything. However if you do get to sell a package, you'll get a commission.

The thing is, as distributors, we don't necessarily have a quota that we should fulfill. All we have to do is start selling. When that happens, we start earning those travel commissions. If you don't get to sell anything, you don't get anything. So basically, we will be earning in a ratio proportional to how much we work hard for it.

Since it will be a home-based business, you really have nothing to lose by grabbing this opportunity. You only have those unlimited travel commissions to gain. Moreover, you're doing your customers a favor by giving them the opportunity to save on their travel expenses. All in all, it's a win-win situation for all the stakeholders in this set up.

Get Your Business On Page 1 Of Google With An Offline Internet Marketer

By Scott Parat

Amazingly people have given up using the yellow pages to find your business, instead people use a variety of search engines when looking for a product or service but did you realize that 85% of any given market will first check out the internet? This is a staggering statistic regarding your market and should weight heavily when considering how to market and advertise your business. As a small or even large business owner you need to get a handle on how important it is to have your business on the internet, otherwise known as a web presence because in the near future almost all businesses will be located by internet searches. There's more people who use the internet today than ever and they access the web through their phones, computers, cameras etc so, if your site doesn't show up when they search, you just lost a customer.

In today's world internet access is a given with people accessing the world wide web from just above any electronic device which means when someone types in your keywords, your site pops up first. This is why website optimization for the correct keywords is so important. While Google is the search engine of choice, you must be in one of the first 3 search results if you want good traffic. Obviously, having your website in the number 1 position would be best!

Running your business takes all of your effort, not leaving you time to learn how to build websites, set up autoresponders, optimize web pages, set up pay per click advertising, set up your social networking sites or try to understand and learn internet marketing. All these things probably make no sense to you but take my word for it, you really need to put them in place. You simply must get online and do it in a way that conforms with current internet marketing standards.

Like it or not, your business success will in some degree depend on your website, consequently you will need to find an internet marketer who specializes in Offline Marketing or you might look into an Offline Consultant so you can get your website tuned up and ready for all the people looking for you. Optimize your website properly and watch your profits take off along with knowing you've taken a giant step into the future for your business!

Since you're not an offline marketing expert it's really easy to get this wrong. You want a web presence so you hire a web design firm and then think you're all done. Web designers will often lie right to your face and tell you your all set, but the truth is, web designers usually have no experience in offline marketing and couldn't get you on page 1 of Google if their life depended on it!

You won't find yourself on page 1 of Google by accident, the only solution is to work with an offline marketer or offline consultant. Offline marketers are experts in website design along with knowing how to set up autoresonders, optimize your web pages correctly and creating website traffic. They will consider your business as unique and find out what is needed to get your business to come up in a favorable position when somebody searches for your keywords. This approach takes everything into consideration, it requires some thinking and strategies needed to produce the kind of results that will bring you qualified website visitors via the free search engines.

Traveling Made Easy By Discounted Travel.

By Gary Mooney

As the world's resources are slowly depleting, scientists are forced to invent things that could lessen such depletion especially in time of Global Recession as prices of raw materials like oil increases. As a matter of fact, an engine that runs on water instead of oil is now utilized by various car manufacturers. Today, it is possible to travel using a hybrid car. But how about cross-country travels and likewise long distances? The answer for that is to avail of discounted travels.

Forging an alliance with the travel industry as an online travel agent is actually worth a shot. For one thing, it has a steady market already and at a time of recession, such market wants less expensive deals and indeed the travel businesses respond to these by offering discounts. We are talking about your boss, your neighbor, and even your coworker who needs to take a vacation but are afraid of the financial ramifications of a very expensive trip. Yes, they want an escape from the everyday confines of their office or homes but they want to be assured to that will have enough money for other things as well. With this in mind, you can easily capitalize on their need to travel and their budget limit by starting a home based business that could offer them the discounted travel that they dream about.

This kind of lucrative business opportunity is hard to ignore because of its inherent profitability and the ease that it boast. Imagine yourself working from your home, minimizing the cost of commuting regularly. You can actually set up client meetings at your own living room. What you need for this job is your internet, your marketing skills, and the discounts that you could offer - throw in some tea and biscuits too. Your job as an online travel agent involves presenting your clients with options that could minimize the cost of their vacation. You can show them travel packages that is within their budget or souvenir shops with more affordable prices and other things that are cheaper but equally important for their vacation.

Now, since you do direct selling, you can categorize it as a sort of multi-level marketing strategy that would guarantee you a direct salary from each and every transaction that will push through. In other words, your salary would come from how many clients that availed travel packages from you hence, your salary in this kind of work is known as a travel commission. In the end, what you really need in this job are three things: an internet, your marketing skills, and the flashy travel discounts at your brochures.

The Common Thing All Rich and Successful People Invest In - THEMSELVES! - How 2 Become Successful By Looking At Yourself First

By Tracey Dornelles

When you think of successful business people you may think of entrepreneurs like Donald Trump or Richard Branson. Oprah is also another good example.

They're all great examples of big thinkers. People who live the lifestyle many of us can only dream about. But apart from all their success and money they also have something else in common - They have a great outlook on life and great attitude!

Actually look at many other successful people throughout history and you'll find a similar atribute. A great attitude coupled with a dream and desire. US President Barack Obama is a great example. Many people believe he's not the most experienced or qualified person to lead America, but his attitude inspires people to follow and believe in him. He admits to be successful in his role he has to focus on himself too. His attitude is his key to success.

While you may not be the new Barack, Donald or Oprah just yet, a successful attitude can have a big impact on you right now. I equate the success I have in my own home business to just that - the right attitude! I used to struggle with money, so my attitude was always an attitude of struggle. I now have a CAN DO attitude, where I try to educate myself to get better at things I used to be scared of. Money now comes to me easily and I get to concentrate on my dreams instead of focussing all my energy on just struggling to pay the bills.

Just think about that for a moment ... If money was not an issue what would you love to do with your life? At first you make take a holiday or buy a house, but then what would be your REAL PURPOSE in life? When you start to question yourself about this you'll realise it's actually your responsibility to take control and live the best life you can.

For many it takes an AH-HA! Moment to really shift their thinking. Mine was when I gave birth to my gorgeous little girl! You see, to me I always thought having a baby meant settling down and living a nice life in the suburbs. But what I was really faced with was a whole new world. Instead of my nice free life ending I felt life was just starting. She has been my inspiration to really grab life and give it my all. I started my own Internet business and I have many more goals achieve too.

While my baby slept I would delve into any personal development book or course I could. First I read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne " which was the catalyst for my transformational journey Followed Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert E. Kyosaki And many more.

Then I decided to do a more in-depth home study course. I has done journaling and listened to affirmation CD's before, but then I found the Discovery Series, which has helped me immensly.

These days I'mm always smiling and if I'm not then I have the tools to switch me into a good mood quickly and then get on with my day.

My mental attitude is no suprise really because I know the effort I a putting in, so I expect results, but what I was suprised at is the attitude and reaction from other people. Family, friends, colleagues and even strangers seem to respect me more, because I respect myself more. Some have even asked I really like your attitude, what have you been doing lately?

My business is starting to boom because I am becoming a magnet for positive people.

Just remember people dont buy a product or business opportunity they buy YOU!!!!!!!

Attitude is the KEY for a successful life and successful business!

So go and invest in the most important thing of all ... YOURSELF!

Read the Many Bluehost Complaints

By Jaylen Derell

I'm sure that you have at least heard about Bluehost hosting before. This is the usually the most used hosting provider for people to use. If you've been on WordPress it's usually onen of the top hosting providers. Those recommendation is probably the reason why the Bluehost hosting site gained so much attention when Bluehost sucks.

Bluehost hasn't always sucked when it came down to their services. The Bluehost hosting used to be very respectable because it had offered great services with nice prices. Obviously, as the company grew it had lost a lot of the qualities that made it get as far as it did.

There are tons of problems with this hosting site. One of the main issues with Bluehost is its downtime. The longer the hosting provider has your site in downtime, the more money you lose. You want a host provider that doesn't have a lot of downtime.

You don't even get that much customer support either for you to have. Most people feel that the Bluehost hosting customer support falls far below the bar of tolerance. This hosting provider is usually found saying the same thing like it's not their problem.

Bluehost sucks too because you account could get cancelled without the slightest warnings. Usually a host would give you time along with a warning to fix the problem instead of losing an account. This is one of the most common complaints from people. Then, there is also the excessive amount of CPU usage by Bluehost. If you had Bluehost you'd have to put up with several problems.

Bluehost Sucks wants to make sure you see all the complaints that people are having with the hosting provider Bluehost. We make it a priority to make sure you know why the Bluehost hosting provider isn't worth as much as it's been recommended.

Niche Marketing

By David Lim

Niche marketing can be defined as marketing to a subset of a larger market segment. Although the market size will not be very big, the needs of such a market will have the advantage of being much more focused.

In the online world, niche marketing is primarily concerned with niches in which the search engine competition is low. Normally, you will carry out the following steps:

* Research keywords that a surfer will use to find what they want. Look out for those particular keywords which has a good potential for profit and not a lot of competition in the search engine rankings.

* Build a website to target those keywords.

* Optimize your blog posts, or website pages, for your targeted keywords.

* Build links to your site or blog by submitting articles, submitting your site or blog to directories and exchanging links with other webmasters.

* Keep building those anchored backlinks until you get to the number one spot in Google, or at least to the top of the first page.

I have outlined the basic steps above but you will probably have to mix and match as necessary. Niche marketing is definitely not an exact science and you have to adjust accordingly.

Investment Needed

Your own domain name and your own web host are two things that you really must pay for. A domain name will set you back less than $1 per month while a web hosting account would cost about $10 per month. If you pay for nothing else, you must pay for this.

There are other services you might want to consider spending money on as they will increase your productivity, and in the long run, give you a better return on the time you spent:

* You can choose to write all the content yourself but it is time consuming. If you have the budget, you can consider getting a writer or writers for at least some of your content.

* Services that automate the submission of your articles to article directories, blogs and websites.

* Services that reduces the time it takes to get good anchored backlinks to your site.

Skills Required

You will need at least passable skills in the English language. If you can write with minimal grammatical and spelling errors, and you can get your message across clearly, that should be good enough.

When you are starting out, you will be doing a lot of the computer and web related work yourself. You will find yourself installing software, updating your name servers, configuring your web hosting package, and other related stuff. You don't have to be a computer whiz as instructions will be provided, but you do have to be computer literate enough to understand those instructions.

Niche marketing is not a job but a business. And in any business, a spirit of entrepreneurship would be needed. While I have broken down the marketing process into a few simple steps, the details of how to implement each step varies for different people, different websites, different keywords, etc. Each niche also presents unique challenges that you, as the entrepreneur, must meet.

Find Useful Goods To Sell On eBay

By Mark Clarence

A number of goods to sell on eBay can be purchased or acquired, from a selection of different sources, present online.

Several online stores are present on the Net, where you can offer to sell things online. But opening your own shop will allow you to earn a better profit markup. An online store is basically a site that is used to display a variety of products to sell online.

Furthermore, you need to look for goods to sell on eBay, which are also sold by the best sellers and also the products that are in high demand. When it comes to choosing which goods to sell, you should do a little analysis and shouldn't rush your decision. Internet provides the best solution in this regard, and the trend that certain products are following.

You should work on methods to draw the attention of the purchaser in order to make them believe they need what you are selling. You also need to do a little analysis research on what segment of the market you would like to target and identify their wants and wants. This is crucial as it'll be your niche market that you'd be targeting and rely on for success.

Many drop shipping directory internet sites offer lists of most wanted items ; this saves lots of effort on the part of a retailer, and in turn this effort can be concentrated on augmenting the marketability and profitability of the chosen products.

The web and especially eBay is overflowing with online sellers, but that doesn't suggest that you can't succeed online. This is due to the fact that internet does not allow any seller to monopolize any product. Another terribly effective option is drop shipper that enables you to sell top brands and products without having to fret about their production or storage.

A drop ship distributor or manufacturer even ships the products to the customer on behalf of the seller by personalizing the package so they believe it was sent by the retailer. After being treated, when a reader clicks on one of the keywords used, you are redirected to their web site, therefore augmenting traffic to your internet site and thus enlarging sales of your products.

Reviews can supply helpful information on products and drop shipping sites. Customers incline to read these comments because they need to know about the utility of a product, while reading reviews, retailers want to know about the best directory web site.

Remember you want to study all there is to study drop shipping and selling goods on the internet, before you step in this profitable business.

Basic Tips Parents Should Know about How to Take Care of a Baby

By Alice Sy

We're going to have a baby!" That is the phrase you would simply utter if you found out that you're going to have a baby. Of course, you are overjoyed and simply can't explain your feeling. That would also be the time that you become aware of all you read and hear on how to take care of a baby.

There are many services available to help you answer your question on how to take care of a baby. These services, usually pregnancy classes or mother's classes help both the mother and the father be prepared for the changes that a baby at home can impose. If you are nervous and feel quite unprepared for rearing a baby, then try attending these classes. Most of these classes are free and are scheduled on your free time.

How to take care of a baby? There are many things to consider, especially for first-time parents. First of all, you have to know proper diaper service. Another energy saver is the disposal of diapers, which you could use the first few days that you are on your own. These are not meant for day-in and day-out use but help wonderfully to tide over an emergency.

Many doctors, nowadays, allow the baby to eat food whenever he feels hungry. The baby is also allowed to sleep whenever he feels like or as little as he cares to. This is known as "self-demand method." At first, the baby may take a little irregular with this, since they are feed between two hours to six hours.

Pregnancy classes or mothers' classes can help you familiarize yourself with the most common conditions your baby might experience as he or she grows up. This can include colic, teething, ear infections, aspiration and more. The more prepared you are, the simpler the question of how to take care of a baby would appear. One screaming baby is enough. You don't need to add your worrying and panicking to the situation.

Changing a diaper is yet another aspect that you should come to terms with when learning how to take care of a baby. If done properly, it doesn't have to be a messy job. Be careful when changing diapers. Make sure your baby is all clean and let their bottoms dry to make sure their privates don't get infected or they won't develop a rash.

But what if the baby is ill? It is natural for a new parent to imagine something very serious if the baby shows signs of illness, or they just think he is ill. Don't waste time. Phone a physician and tell him your baby's condition and he'll do whatever that is necessary.

If you can't take on these services, then ask for an experienced friend or family member. Your mother, your sister, or your best friend, those who have experienced taking care of a baby will eagerly help you adjust to your new role. With them around, they can just model how to take care of a baby for you to emulate later on.

Get Tons Of Free Traffic Using A Marketing Funnel

By Graeme Stuart

What's a "Marketing Funnel"? Why would I want one?

If you're selling something online, like a service, a business opportunity, a product or whatever...the "marketing funnel" will be a hugely powerful strategy to help you generate a massive amount of free traffic to your website. The marketing funnel is used by many of the top marketers across the net.

Let me explain the analogy. The narrow end of the funnel is where your opt-in box is located, where prospects enter their email address and go through to make a direct sale. The wide end of the funnel is the catchment area. This is where all the potential online traffic come, from a wide variety of sources. If you can build a really big, far-reaching funnel, you can drive a gigantic amount of traffic.

So what exactly makes up the wide end of the funnel?

To a certain extent, this is only limited by your imagination and how big you want the funnel to be.

A strong and dynamic funnel would certainly include some of the following areas: -

- Social Media sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Orkut

- Video Media channels such as YouTube, Metacafe, Viddler and Revver

- Article Sites such as Ezine Articles, Article Base and Buzzle

- Blogs such as Blogspot, Wordpress and Wikis

- Social Review Sites like Squidoo and Hubpages

You may also want to consider the following;

- Press Release sites such as Free-Press-Release.com

- Picture sites such as Flickr and Zoomr

- Social Bookmarking and linking sites like Delicious, Digg, Stumbleupon and Propeller

Due to the huge amount of people using these social sites, you can generate all the traffic youll ever need simply by establishing and maintaining a presence on them.

The idea is to be putting out regular content to as many places as possible. And always make sure you're linking back to your opt-in page.

With this strategy you can effectively leverage your time by using just one article to provide you with an incredible amount of content for all these different networks. This will have the effect of boosting your appearance as an authority figure, building your online presence, and exposing you to a never-ending supply of prospects for you business.

An additional benefit of this system, is that due to all the back links, your search rankings for your main website in Google, Yahoo and others, will massively improve.

Once youre set up, the time required will become considerably less and less. But yes, it does take some time initially in setting up a quality social media traffic network.

After the initial set up of your accounts, which is where the biggest chunk of your time will go...all you'll need to do is schedule in some time to add more content. This is a continuous process, but it all adds up and you'll see it growing and growing.

This is obviously not something that can be mastered overnight, but the more of it you do, the bigger the pay off will be. As you gradually build your funnel, you'll become very proficient at it, and you'll see results super fast.

The more you do, the more you'll learn. You'll also find faster and easier ways to accomplish your main goals.

With being on the networks for a longer period of time, there'll be a snowball effect. You will accumulate a gigantic amount of credibility and followers.

Naturally, followers who like and trust you equals tons of traffic, which will ultimately lead to tons of sales and huge profits. Which is of course, the name of the game!

Wishing you Great Success, Graeme Stuart YourSuccessNetBiz.com

It's Easy To Sell On E-Biz Auctions

By Jesscee Clark

E-biz auctions offer a glorious chance to outlets to offer products for sale on the internet.

With so many online stores that are concerned in e-biz auctions, one can question the probabilities of starting an online business. It is normal to ask the question why your business would be profitable, when folk already have so many options on the web. You can always sell your products with the option of fixed price selling, or e-biz auctions selling.

These two options are wonderful. But the former takes lead due to the fact that it involves less risk.

Auction selling is done in an auction and depending on the demand of the product, the price can change, and so a retailer can sell the product at a higher price, and on a lower price as well, so auction selling is riskier as compared to fixed price selling.

That joy is often replaced by despair after about a year of watching kids clothing pile up after only a few wears. Kids grow fast and trying to keep them in the latest fashions can be quite costly. You quickly realize that saving money and looking for the best deals is the focus of your shopping instead of hunting out the latest labels.

With our children growing so fast, it is tough to justify spending a lot of money on trendy clothes that they are going to outgrow in less than a year. Luckily for all parents, there is now finally a place that you can get the latest fashions and it will not break your wallet in the process.

In tough economies, it is always nice to save money when you are shopping. It is even better when you can shop at a company that was put together from someone just like you that is looking out for your needs instead of the almighty corporate bottom line. Growing Growing Gone is just such a site.

Growing Growing Gone was started by a mother that was sick and tired of being taken advantage of by the chains of kids clothing stores. There had to be a better way to find clothes and there definitely had to be a cheaper way to get clothes to parents of growing children. She found it and now she shares all of these great bargains with you at prices that will absolutely blow your mind.

Ralph Lauren has long been a fashion icon, but do you really want to spend $30 or more on a piece of clothing for your child? Now you don?t have to. You can get a pair of Ralph Lauren Polo Shorts that list for $45 for only $14.95. Add the matching top that lists for $29.50 for $12.54.

Creating Great Yards with Garden Dcor and Design

By Ron Gunter

Hiring an interior designer to help you with the changes you want to make when redoing the inside of your home just makes since. It also makes since to have the same type of design input when you are making changes to the outside of your home as well, just thinking about being outside and not in.

One such issue has to do with the look and feel of your yard as well as what you would like to plant where. It is very important to think about placement and color as well as season. Plants come up at different times of the year and some need full sun while others will require shade.

After you have considered all the types of plants and color you would like to use, you will be able to bring design elements into the planning and creation of the perfect yard for you and your family. Also know you may need some additional help. That could mean hiring a contractor or asking friend with good building skills for some help. But let's look at the fun stuff now.

Balance brings pictures of the scales measuring out the two sides so each weighs the same. However, balance in design does not always equate to an equal part on two sides. It's more of an even flow from one thing to another; a symmetry where everything equals out in the end. Watch that you create more than separate spaces but a collective whole that comes together.

If you can look at your outdoor space as a natural place for meditation and think in terms of what one would love to hear, see, touch or smell then you can imagine bringing in elements such as water, fire, wind and earth. Planting flowers that bring the earth out of its shell or a water fall or small stream to listen to and just relax. All of these are wonderful ways to fulfill this since of balance in a natural way.

I love when the rhythm of the natural elements fall in line with the rhythm of what man has made. In other words the design in colors, cushions, walkways or dcor all come together to enhance the yard or garden and you can fell and see the rhythm that moves through it all. It's almost a spiritual thing at times and sends goose bumps up a spine.

Good use of balance and rhythm naturally brings about harmony, another basic element of design. You must remember that yin longs for yang; so harmony does not mean "the same". Instead it means different or contrasting items that compliment each other whether that is in style, color or tone.

The other element is the use of focal points. If done properly, you can deemphasize the elephant in the yard and bring everyone to the attention of the mouse. You can hide almost anything in the middle of the yard with the proper use of focal points. An amazing tool to use!

Everyone in your household has great ideas that should be explored and developed to see if they can be incorporated into your overall plan. To help you eliminate, design and decorate your yard it is well worth the effort to hire someone with a design background and experience. Every effort should be made to have the best outdoor spaces to match the great indoor space of your dreams. Get started today!
