Making Money Jobs

Yeah justin

Hoover is an economic god to you

And McCarthy was your hero

And Obama caused the recession

And doubling the DoD budget in recent years doesn't appear on your radar as you bemoan and whine about even the littlest of taxes.

And redirecting ANY money from wasteful programs to health reform, or instead washing it down the drain in a vast sea of DoD related spending and foreign wars is the death of us all.

And having the lowest taxes in the western world after we gave the wealthiest even more money (recent tax deal) to send overseas is just not good enough.

And you are smarter than Dr Reich and about 99% of economists who have concluded that hoover indeed was an economic dolt and ushered in the Great Depression and that FDR/WWII ended it.

You are naive to think the US will thrive in a laissez faire business model where taxes and gvmt regulation are a historic remnant. There's no historic precedent for your belief, and indeed, everytime we or anyone else have tried that, we have been predated on by the wealthy elite and suffered terrible economic shocks. And that includes the Great Depression, the Great Recession, and several shocks in the 19th century that few Americans have ever heard about except in vague terms of Robber Barons and the like.

Every time we lower taxes on the wealthy, almost half that money disappears into overseas investments or tax shelters. That's the giant sucking sound you hear, and msoja mistakenly believed was ACA.

I'm all for low taxes, but not for gutting them mindlessly. Clinton era high end tax rates were reasonable and helped balance the budget, and anything lower IMO is destructive to our economy and std of living.

I'm all for for smart elimination of regulation, but not for mindless gutting them.

As a 12 year USAF vet, I'm all for strong defense, but not the current wars and not the doubling of the DoD budget as BushJr did.

Evaluating whether a program has a NET negative or positive effect on the economy involves a fair assessment of all variables, something freeloaders like you aren't capable of doing. Some of the variables you enumerate would indeed be problems, except that you forgot to mention the variables in the package that outweigh your negatives. For example, ensuring that 32 million people have affordable care and won't go bankrupt or die are positive factors that HELP the economy and outweigh your variables.

And your blatant hatred of the CBO process also shows you are a wingnut whose opinions are distorted by ideology.

You fail to cite that GOP predictions are even worse than CBO predictions, and that the main reason CBO predictions are often wrong is that the underlying assumptions of those predictions change as a result of partisan actions by later Congresses and admins.

I am no longer a Republican because I came to learn that they engage in the biggest lies of all. You are the kind of propagandist that caused me to abandon that party--the party of debt, fear and big lies

At a time when corporate profits are through the roof, the Dow is flirting with 12,000, Wall Street paychecks are fat again, and big corporations are sitting on more than $1 trillion in cash, you’d expect jobs be coming back. But you’d be wrong.

The U.S. economy added just 36,000 jobs in January, according to today’s report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Remember, 125,000 are needed just to keep up with the increase in population of Americans wanting and needing work. And 300,000 a month are needed continuously for five years if we’re to get back to anything like the employment we had before the Great Recession.

In other words, today’s employment report should be sending alarm bells all over official Washington. This economy is still terribly sick. (Technical note: The official rate of unemployment fell to 9 percent from 9.4 percent, but that’s because more workers have left the labor market, too discouraged to continue looking for work. The official rate reflects how many people are actively looking for work.)

We have two economies. The first is in recovery. The second is in a continuous depression.

The first is a professional, college-educated, high-wage economy centered in New York and Washington, that’s living well off of global corporate profits. Corporations continue to make money by selling abroad from their foreign operations while cutting costs (especially labor) here at home. Wall Street is making money by taking the Fed’s free money and speculating with it. The richest 10 percent of Americans, holding 90 percent of all financial assets, are riding the wave. And their upscale spending has given high-end retailers and producers a bounce.

The second is most of the rest of America, and it’s still struggling with a mountain of debt, declining home prices, and job losses. In coming months most Americans will also be contending with sharply rising prices of food and fuel.

Our representatives in Washington see and hear mostly the first economy. The business press reports mainly on the first economy. Corporate and Wall Street economists are concerned largely with the first economy.

But the second economy will determine our politics in 2012 and beyond.

Business Making Money

..........and bullshit walks! Easy as that for start-ups when it comes to making up your mind about raising additional capital. Are we in a bubble? No idea but this question keeps creeping up. Those of us who went through the bubble at the turn of the century are secretly hoping we're not in another one. Those who don't remember the last one are also worried wondering whether all the old-timers are right. One way or another, it doesn't really matter. 

You'll hear multiple opinions on whether to raise money at times like this. I have a very clear opinion on this. It's based on the fact that I believe the best venture backed businesses are in it for the long haul. These are companies with a real product that add value to their customers. These are businesses generating real cashflow intent on growing to significant scale. Finally, these are businesses which will use additional money to expand. Hence, here's my take on when to take money (with focus on EU based businesses): 

1. Sequoia or Kleiner are on the phone. Start negotiating, get the best deal you can get and make sure to raise the money. Say what you will but Tier 1 VC's from the US will lead to a far larger exit. Specifically the top tier funds have access to management for your businesses, access to potential partners and are likely to sit on the boards of the companies that could buy you. You'd be dumb not to take money but do so wisely. 

2. A tier 1 fund from Europe is interested. Find out whether there's a good fit with your businesses. I've often enough written about how to figure this out and I say to focus on the partner and not the fund when doing your due diligence. Negotiate a good deal and take the money. Tier 1 funds in Europe have learned to add value, have significantly better networks nowadays and will most likely get you bought by a US based business.    

2.5. A tier 1 fund from your home country calls up. I've labeled this 2.5 because Tier 1 funds in Europe tend to only differentiate themselves based on where they are located. The rest is mostly the same. The benefit of a tier 1 locally invested in your business is the proximity. It's in your interest. You want them closer than further. If the terms are right and you have offers from abroad and locally, I'd sway towards local but the vibe has to be right. You won't be necessarily doing anything wrong taking money from a London VC verses a German VC when you are in Germany. The London VC may even be around more than the German VC. This all depends on the partner. 

3. A tier 2 fund from the US calls up. Ask yourself first why they found you? Go ahead and ask. Further, research the fund and find out what they've done in the past. Have they invested in Europe before? Are they only looking to Europe because their dealflow in the US sucks? Think twice about whether they will invest the necessary time to be in Europe and invested in your business. If the deal terms are good and you are comfortable with the partner doing the deal, take the money. They can still be helpful in accessing US buyers. They are highly unlikely to open as many doors as Kleiner or Sequoia but they definitely know more people in the US than many European partners. Plus make sure you want to go to the US. They will probably eventually ask you to move the company there.

4.  A tier 2 fund from outside your home region in the EU finds you. Ask yourself how the hell they found you. More importantly, if you found them, ask yourself why the Tier 1 funds from your local region aren't interested in what you are doing. Say what you will but a UK based fund prefers to invest first in the UK and then rest of Europe. A German fund in Germany and then rest of Europe, etc. Although valuations are good and the power is in your hands to some extent think twice. There are times when taking money could be detrimental to the health of your business (as well as to your equity stake). It's nice to get a higher valuation and some extra cash but make sure it doesn't ultimately cost you more than you think. 

5. A tier 2 fund from your local region calls up. Again, ask yourself first why the tier 1 funds aren't interested. Don't underestimate the value of many tier 2 funds though. Maybe they aren't the best known name in the market. At the same time, maybe they are striving to become a better fund. Maybe the number two in the market will work harder than the number one for you. This may be in your interest. Maybe! Do your homework and if you are comfortable with terms, take the money. Be far more diligent in this case though. Think longer and harder about whether you really can do more with the money now or prefer to hold out a bit. 

6. Some tier 3 fund you've never heard of and can't find out much about approaches you. Be really careful. There are lots of people in this business who sure won't be around in a couple years. Money from these guys can be a nightmare. At the same time, maybe your business is the nightmare and you couldn't raise money at any other time. One way or another, things aren't going right one way or another. If you need the money to survive and know you'll never get more down the road, do everything you can to raise cash now. Maybe you've just been approached by the future Kleiner or Sequoia of Europe. Maybe not.....but money talks and bullshit walks!

You'll notice a general trend from 1. through 6. above. Take the money! If you can get good terms, know how to put the money you raise to work for growth and like the partner from the funds approaching you, go for it. The getting is good right now. As a VC I'm worried about valuations and bursting bubbles, etc. but as an entrepreneur you should be optimizing for you business. Money is always good. Ignore all the crap about having too much money and being negatively swayed by this. In this post I am defaulting to the fact that I think you are a smart entrepreneur. You aren't going to raise money to get that Porsche as a company car. You're going to grow your business and become amazing. Some will say I am wrong but I'd prefer to have the cash in the bank and worry about being wrong later.  

..........and bullshit walks! Easy as that for start-ups when it comes to making up your mind about raising additional capital. Are we in a bubble? No idea but this question keeps creeping up.

Secrets to Making Money

Image via Wikipedia | There’s a Wide Wide World Out There…Are You Going to Take It?

Intro

Every woman and man alive want’s success. Some fetishise it with cash. Some a fast car. Materialism on the Internet is ubiquitous, yet, are WE missing the point. Is true success; contentment at all levels of your life simply right before US? Yes. This quick guide, from the world’s luckiest man, tells you how to attain true perfection.

1. Stop Blaming the World

Envy is green. It’s greener than that grass you are gazing on right across your neighbour’s fence. Today, try just once to focus on yourself. Do you have something that no one else has? I do. I was born in the right place and at the right time in history. Come and join me and stop looking outside at others for solutions. What is your unique strength?

Fulfilling their constitutional power to “determine the Rules of its Proceedings,” this Wednesday, January 5, 2010, the newly assembled House of Representatives will adopt the Rules of the House for the 112th Congress. Speaker-designate John Boehner has proposed a series of changes to the House rules designed to make the House more transparent and help eliminate unnecessary Federal spending. The Top Five New Rules include:

1. The new rules require a member of the House who wishes to introduce a bill to submit for publication in the Congressional Record a statement of what powers the Constitution grants to Congress to enact that bill. For bills that come over to the House from the Senate, the chairman of the House committee of jurisdiction will submit such a statement. The provision will assist Members of the House in making sure that they carry out the oath every one of them takes to support and defend the Constitution.


2. The new rules contain a “Cut-As-You-Go” provision that prohibits House consideration of a bill that has the net effect of increasing mandatory spending within the one-year, five-year, and ten-year budget windows. If a bill increases mandatory spending by an amount, the bill must elsewhere cut other spending by at least the same amount. The new rules also eliminate special protection for transportation spending.


3. The new rules expand requirements that legislation be available in advance before the House or its committees act on it. The chair of a committee must make the text of a measure being marked up publicly available at least one day before a committee markup meeting and a bill must be publicly available at least three days before the House votes on it. The requirement for advance availability prior to votes ensures that Members of the House and the public have an opportunity to read the legislation before the House or its committees vote on the legislation.


4. The new rules make more information about House proceedings available to the public, and in readily accessible electronic form. For example, the chair of a committee must make the texts of any amendment to a bill adopted at a committee markup available within 24 hours. Each committee must provide audio and video coverage or recordings of committee hearings, to the maximum extent practicable (excluding, for example, hearings involving national security secrets).


5. The new rules eliminate the vote-avoidance mechanism by which the House was automatically deemed to have approved a bill to increase the Federal debt, whenever the Congress adopted a budget resolution for spending that would have exceeded the existing debt limit, without House Members actually having to vote on whether to raise the debt limit. Now, if House Members want to consider whether to allow the Government to borrow more money, they will have to vote for or against it and not avoid the issue.

On November 3, 2010, immediately following the national elections, The Heritage Foundation issued “The Checklist” of actions of overriding importance, representing the bare minimum required for Washington to fulfill its electoral mandate, meet its constitutional responsibilities, and get America started on the right track. Among other things, the Checklist called on Congress to get control of Government by reestablishing legislative accountability. In particular, the Foundation called for Congress to change its rules to make the text of legislation public at least three days before Congress considers the legislation. The above rules meet, for the House, that bare minimum requirement … and more.

Adoption, by the House, of these new rules proposed by the new conservative leadership is a good first step, but the test of success for the rules will be whether the House follows and enforces them. If the House avoids the temptation to waive the new restrictions from time to time for political convenience, the new rules will reflect a House more committed to conservative principles.

There are very few people left in the money making industry online that are honest and can be trusted. Some of the big shots and gurus advertise their own products and make wild promises of making money with their stuff, and more often than not, they fail. The money making world needed a break, And The Light In The Darkness provides it.

The Light In The Darkness is the first system/book/manual that I've come across that actually tells you what it takes to make money online, and what you can achieve if you're diligent. Unlike most other programs today that claim that you can make over a billion dollars in 23.86 seconds by just shelling out the money these people are demanding, The Light In The Darkness tells it as it really is. The promise of the author is simple, and most of what I've learnt and writing about is actually from the book. This is what the author says :

If you are willing to WORK HARD in the first few months, you can easily make over $40,000 at the end of the sixth month. You will have to work and learn in the first few months. None of this will cost you anything, and we'll use the money from your earnings to take you over $40,000 a month.

This is a breath of fresh air on the internet where every other guru is selling another system that will make you a billionaire if you give him the money and click on his link! The program covers a variety of areas of working online, starting with writing for money to generate some captial for you, and going on to everything you can think of! The Light In The Darkness covers:

1. Writing online to generate an income without spending any money. The Light In The Darkness helps you put some money in your pocket before you start with the other stuff.


2. Building a website, and marketing affiliate programs with it. This is one of The Light In The Darkness program's strenghts – helping you advertise in a very effective manner.


3. Advertising your programs using articles (that you're being paid for!).


4. Adsense optimization/Adbrite or any PPC contextual ad service optimization.


5. PPC campaigns, Adwords, other PPC engines and how to run them.


6. Selecting affiliate programs for PPC engines. This is one of the sections of The Light In The Darkness that I thoroughly enjoyed, as it helped me understand why some of my affiliate programs were doing better than others.


7. How to write good ads for PPC programs.


8. How to advertise using programs such as Trafficwave, Leadsomatic and so on. The Light In The Darkness gives you the exact step by step details to help you build a very cost-effective advertising program.


9. The top online money making systems and how to use various services to make incredible amounts of money with them (that takes you to over $40,000 a month – I learnt a whole lot from here!).


10. How to build an opt-in list and use it effectively. You are shown how to make a page with a sign-up form on it, and how to link it to an autoresponder and how to follow-up with prospects and so on. Very detailed and helpful. The best part that I liked about this was that he even gave me some templates to use to help me get started.
    
    
    

My experience with The Light In The Darkness has been nothing short of delightful! I've used it more than any other program, and I've seen the incredible earnings already starting to happen. The updates keep on coming at a rate of at least 1-2 per week, which means that the author of The Light In The Darkness is keeping up with the task and is pouring out all he can into this.

All in all, if I was to recommend any single program today, I would recommend The Light In The Darkness manual. You know the best part? It each and every aspect that any other $97 course by the “gurus” like Mike Filesame, Cody Moya or any other would, but costs nothing close to them. On an average, a decent fluffy e-book that covers any of the ten topics about costs $47. As such, a fair price of The Light In The Darkness should be $470, right? Well, it costs only $19.95. Yup, it blew me away too! The explanation for this low price was that the point of this book is to help people make money, not to have them get a personal loan to give making money a shot! The Light In The Darkness is easily the best manual I've ever come across on the net. Check it out here.

The Dumbest Creep On The Internet Strikes Again

Home - by BigFurHat - January 24, 2011 - 04:10 UTC - 12 Comments

Matty, Matty, Matty

Sex Offender Blockbusting

Steve Randy Waldmann conveys an interesting money-making possibility from Scott Wentland:

Still, for all the finance and economics I encountered at the conference, Wentland is the only person whose work suggested a way to actually turn a profit. Wentland presented a paper at the conference. I missed the presentation, but read the paper after the fact. It is empirical work very nicely done, and it tweaked the antennae of my inner, amoral arbitrageur. I now think of registered sex offenders as roving Groupons for home flippers. Wentland and his coauthors provide strong evidence that you could make a lot of money persuading an ex-cellmate to move near a nice, four bedroom home in rural Virginia, and then to move away after you’ve bought the home.

Maybe when the real estate market picks up again people will start doing this. Indeed, I sort of hope they do since my impression is that these sex offender databases should probably be done away with and screwing with people’s real estate value seems like the most likely way to make that happen.

~snip~

I don’t know about any of you, but after sex offender and murderer, progressive is on my list of who I don’t want to live next door to. And there is a database that has these records, it’s called voter rolls. I say we release those so we can make educated choices as to where we live.

No, he didn't cash in by saving "noobie" Internet marketers from being pushed off a cliff by a sheriff gone mad. He didn't blog for bucks at WEC martial arts featherweight championships. Neither did he do it all in one night. For anyone worried about getting laid off or downsized he's an example of having a vision and work ethic that proves anyone can make money on the internet and it works. People living paycheck to paycheck or in fear the axe is about to drop ought to listen up.

The California Kid (CK) had a gut feeling he could get off his dad's "allowance" program by doing something huge online. He started sniffing around for the juiciest stories by the colossal Internet marketing gurus. He lapped up their wisdom like a hungry kitten on fresh cream.

It really didn't seem that difficult to the CK. It was a matter of motivation - like get off the proverbial "massively multiplayer online game butt" and hop to it. He settled on the idea of a membership site because it would create residual income. The membership entailed joining a club that gave you the rights to a new "turnkey" website each month that was already set up to generate income from advertising revenues.

The CK chose this model because it would have long lasting value for his clients, making it a winner for everyone. He found some talent to help him create content and graphics for the sites and then approached the owner of an Internet marketing forum with a deal.

He offered the gentleman a percentage of the sales in exchange for promoting the membership product on his forum. To the CK's surprise the chap (a citizen of the U.K.) agreed.

Before the story continues it's time to "fess" up. The CK was not really getting an allowance at the time - he was experiencing a decent level of success in the field of search engine optimization working for some Fortune 1000 companies. He didn't sit around playing computer games, but he was living with his parents.

Before he went to sleep that night he told his mom about hismake money on the internet venture but she didn't get it. He sent out his prelaunch notice to the minuscule list he had managed to build on his own and was thrilled when he sold 2 memberships. He went to bed clutching the knot in his gut, knowing the big launch from his U.K. partner's forum was scheduled to happen while he was asleep.

The next morning the CK opened up his email account and freaked. The membership had sold out and he had a waiting list of 400 people. $9,800 was sitting in his online account. The CK's message for us is this: find a market of hungry people and focus on finding a product that gives them a solution to something in their life that matters. The more people you can help along your road to success, the wealthier you will become.

Making Money Program

In my senior year I made a drastic decision, dropping out of my double major of Journalism and Writing Intensive English, quitting my job on the school newspaper, and deciding to not go to grad school the next fall. I needed something different. Something that made me excited, instead of making me dread the next step in my life.

My parents were less than thrilled with my decision. I had such a promising path! How could I just give up on everything I’ve worked for?! Like everyone else in my family, they didn’t understand why I started applying for Teach for America and researching programs for teaching English overseas.  They were constantly questioning me (“What are you going to do once you graduate?” and “What are you going to be when you grow up?”) but I honestly had no idea and I didn’t want to jump into a graduate program and spend all that time and money when I couldn’t answer those most basic questions.

So I researched. And researched some more. And along the way, I started reading blogs about volunteering after college and found myself intrigued. Volunteering was something I did infrequently in college and when I did, it was either for a class I was taking or part of my job. So I took the plunge and became an AmeriCorps*VISTA when I graduated in May.

I had a cousin who did AmeriCorps*VISTA several years ago and he suggested that I look into it.  When I started my research I felt a connection to what VISTA stands for: Volunteers In Service To America.  VISTAs are different from other volunteers because we work the administration side of different nonprofits or government agencies that fight against poverty. In return for our work, we do not receive an income but a living stipend (which ironically puts us on the same level of those we serve: poverty).

While making the decision and joining VISTA was easy, it was deciding on where I would serve to be the problem. Would I stay in Milwaukee and be around my friends and the boyfriend I had? Or would I do the smarter decision and move in with my parents and save money? The flip side of moving in with my parents involved me having to move across the country to New Hampshire, a state in which I knew no one and had no friends. I knew I would only be making a very, very small amount of money and I knew I couldn’t afford the rent and utilities in Milwaukee, so I moved in with my parents. Now here, I’m working at both a private school with a huge emphasis on volunteering and a nonprofit that helps keeps students in the public school system on track for college.

But while my experience is very focused on the work that I do, it’s so much more. My placement is part of an umbrella program, so I am connected with other VISTAs in the area. Over the past months I have gotten to know quite a few of them and we’ve become good friends. We have a lot in common off the bat, they know what I’m going through on a daily basis and they’re generally wonderful people. So much so that when my relationship ended (the distance due to my move was just too much) and I missed my friends from college, my new VISTA friends were there for me and got me back on track.

As for the day to day, it differs; I can be busy working on activities for tutoring or meeting with students. Some days I sit at my desk and just work on a database, calling nonprofits about their volunteer opportunities. And, like any job, there are days that I just sit and dink around online.

Moving away from where I had lived for four years was really hard. Losing my relationship in the first couple months was harder, and not having my girlfriends around made it worse. But the friends I have made through VISTA are some of the greatest people I have ever met. We have been put in a situation where we make little to no money and are sometimes doing very tedious work.  We make the most of it and with these friends I am doing so much more with my life than I would have if I had stayed in Milwaukee on my original path. I may have had to make some sacrifices and I may be about as far off the beaten career path as humanly possible, but I love what I do and I feel good doing it.

It’s all even made me reevaluate what I want for my life and figure out just where I want to be when this whole thing is over. Will I continue working in nonprofits? Maybe. Continue on to grad school and get a Masters in Education? Possibly. Follow my dream of seeing the world and teaching abroad? Most definitely.

Being an AmeriCorps*VISTA has pushed me out of my comfort zone and changed who I am for the better.  For all of you college seniors who are unsure of where you want to be next year, I seriously recommend looking into giving back. (Editor’s Note: And here are a few more reasons why!) I know that this is where I am supposed to be for a year and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to find my passion and give back to those who aren’t as fortunate as I have been.

If you're a freelance writer, or thinking about becoming one, then you know that writing is the easy part. Finding places to pitch your writing, eg, marketing it, takes up the bulk of your time.

Well, there are a few ways on the Internet where you can start making money right away - as in, within one week. Following are three.

1. Write for Pay Sites (3 Reviewed)

A. AssociatedContent.com: My favorite write-for-pay site. The beauty of writing for this site is that you write what you want and get paid for it - anywhere from $3 to $40 for a minimum 400-word article. They also accept videos for payment.

The reason I like this site is: 1) as mentioned above, you write what you want. No editor guidelines to follow, writing about subjects that you have no interest in and/or tons of research to do. 2) No minimum pay out to reach (many sites have a minimum you have to reach before you get paid); and 3) Fairly quick turnaround time They usually take 5-7 business days to read your submission and make you an offer.

If you have a hobby, a subject you are passionate about, or a subject you want to take the time to write about - for whatever reason - simply set up an Author's account with them (it's FREE!) and submit.

NOTE: On rare occasions, your article will be rejected. However, the editors usually leave a note explaining why and you then have the chance to make changes and resubmit the content. As I said, to be rejected is rare, but on the few occasions I have been, I always rewrote and usually got a higher than normal offer by acting on the editor's suggestions.

Since I've been a freelance writer for over a decade and had a large library of content, I made a couple of hundred dollars in a few week's time by submitting previously published material.

Didn't I mention that the material you submit doesn't have to be original? You will be paid less for it, but as it's already written and has probably been used for other purposes, it's like free cash. They pay more for original material and material that they specifically request (new topics are emailed from the administrator each Friday).

B. WriteForCash.com: With WriteForCash.com, it takes them up to two weeks to review your article, and more often than not, you will have to make some revisions before your article will be accepted.

Also, it takes them up to three months to get your article on the web. Another drawback of this site is that they own the copyright to the work (eg, you can't resell the content) and you have to choose from topics they list on which to write.

To their credit, the list of topics can be wide-ranging and they pay from $10 to $15 per article. But, if you have a hankering to write about, for example, the World Cup, and it's not on their list, you won't get paid for it.

C. Constant-Content.com: With this site, you basically put your articles up for bid, setting your own price. However, a lot of writers there offer their articles for free, which diminishes your chance of selling one - especially if it's in the same genre. Further, you have to keep your price pretty low to sell articles - anywhere from $1 to $5. Although, this can increase if you write for high-paying genres, eg, finance, technical, etc.

On the upside, you can resell content here. So, if you are going to write an article anyway and sell it elsewhere, you might as well post it here. However, another drawback is that you won't be paid until your account hits the $50 mark. Realistically, this can take months, especially if you are only posting one or two articles a week and selling them for $2 or $3 each.

There are tons of ways to sell your writing online; these three sites are just to get you going and/or supplement what you may already be doing.

2. Start an Article Directory: This takes a bit more work, but is very simple to start. What do people look for on the Internet - information - lots of it!

To start an article directory, all you have to do is put up a simple website and start soliciting writers to submit their articles to you - free of charge. Most article writers are promoters of something - e-books, seminars, software, workshops, etc. They are constantly looking for free and/or low-cost exposure.

Soon, you can have hundreds of pages of content. How will you make money? Add Google ads (details below). Every time someone clicks on one of the ads, you make money.

Many article directories take articles on many subjects; some specialize. Only you can decide which is right for you. I personally prefer niche directories because as the web expands, I think users will revisit a directory that carries quality information on a specific topic more often than one that carries a lot of articles on everything. Even if you separate them out by category, I find the "all inclusive directories" too overwhelming. Again, it's up to you.

The real key to making money with an article directory is promoting it and getting good, quality articles for your site. To get excellent articles, surf the web using key words on your subject. Once you find an article you like, contact the author (most will have their contact info in the resource box at the end of the article) and ask them to regularly submit articles to your directory. They will almost always say yes.

Once your directory has been indexed by search engines, many will start sending you articles automatically. This is when your site should really take off. Once you have a few hundred articles in your directory (and this can literally take as little as a few weeks if you put in the time), slap those Google ads on each page, and voila - you have hundreds of pages of content carrying ads that, each time they're clicked, is money in your pocket.

NOTE: There are many article directories online where you can automatically pull articles from to get started. Do a Google search for "article directory" and about 3.5 million (yes, million!) results pop up.

Article Directory Software: If you want to put out a little money, you can purchase software that will completely automate this process for you. Do a Google search for "article directory software" and close to half a million results come up. With most of the software you can choose to buy and install yourself, or have the publisher install it for you. Note: You have to be a real techie if you choose to go the self-install route.

Before starting an article directory, I recommend taking several hours and doing some reading on the subject. While it's a relatively simple concept, it can be a lot of work up front - but can pay huge dividends over the months and years to come.

To learn more about getting those Google ads you see on many websites, go to Google.com. Click on "Advertising Programs" (a plain text button right under the search box). Then click on "For Web Publishers: Google AdSense". Finally, click on "What is AdSense? Quick Tour". The program will be explained in detail and you can have it up and running in about 5 minutes.

3. Start a Blog: This is becoming old hat, but is still new and fresh enough that if you have a passion for something and can target a highly defined niche, you can start a blog on it, add some Google Adsense ads, and turn it into a few hundred bucks a month without too much effort. Want to make more? Like anything in life, the more time you commit to it, the more your income will rise.

There's even a new website, Scoopt.com, that acts as a blog literary agent. What do I mean by this? Specifically, they "help you license your blog for both commercial and non-commercial use." In essence, they help you sell your blog's content. See full details at their site.

Blogs are no longer just for ranting about your last bad relationship or the bad dye job your colorist did on your hair. They are professional outlets for making money now.

To read a case study of how a personal interest can be turned into a popular, moneymaking blog, go to ProBlogger.net and do a search of their site for ""Back in Skinny Jeans". The article should pop up. It's very, very interesting reading.

FYI, to start a blog, go to blogger.com, create an account and start blogging away. It's FREE!

SUMMARY: These are not get-rich-quick schemes. My mission at InkwellEditorial.com is to help creative and editorial freelancers earn a decent living. I will never promise you that you will "make thousands a month by just doing x", as many will. Don't believe the hype.

I have been in publishing since 1987, and have been a freelancer since 1993. Believe me, I've heard about and tried so many different programs. The only way to make money is to consistently plug away at something. It takes time and effort, effort and time. The good news is that if you are determined to make a living as a creative professional, the Internet makes it easier than ever. And, it can be done "relatively" easy if you choose effective methods and consistently implement them.
