Making Money on the Internet is Easy?


Far too many people seem to believe that you can easily make money and get rich without making any effort on the Internet. All you have to do is publish a web site and 'bang!' you have a home business and will start making money immediately. I would suggest that you don't hold your breath whilst waiting for the cash to roll in from an Internet business started thinking like that.

It's fairly obvious to everybody now that Of Course you can be successful in an online business and can actually make lots of money without ever leaving your home. The biggest separator between those online businesses that fail and those that make lots of money is not talent or special skills but rather effort and determination not to quit, especially in the early stages. Lots of hours will have to be put in, especially in the early stages but once some money is earned you can put some back into the business to automate parts of it and get some of that time back.

It's easy to find a business on the Internet. There are plenty of opportunities where you get virtually a business in a box. This will include all kinds of tools to help run this business but if you are to make any money from this business then there is one major consideration that you will need to take care of and that is marketing. Your replicated page will look very nice but will never make any money if nobody sees it.

Anybody think of starting an online business should first of all take a tour of some sites like Infogoround, CarbonCopyPRO and a few others. You will find that most of the business opportunity sites use a lead capture page as the initial landing page. The single purpose of this page is to get usually your first name and your email address. This is purely because it's been proved over time that most people will not get involved in a business on their first visit to a website so to increase the money making potential from all their visitors they want your contact info so they can market to you via an autoresponder and keep reminding you about the opportunity. Don't be afraid to give these details, there will always be an unsubscribe link in every message you receive so you can stop receiving these 'reminders' any time you wish. Home businesses will hardly ever be money makers overnight so you have to be aware of this. Maybe joining under a leader who has already demonstrated that he knows the ropes is the answer. You can always be sure of great advice from him then, especially if he stands to gain from your success.

Before embarking on any Internet venture and trying to make money you should always sit down and take a look at your life. There is every probability that you have some special skills. Life has taught you how to 'cope with this situation' or 'do that job a certain way' and this could well for the basis of your new money making opportunity, so always consider the skill, knowledge and strengths you already have.

A common route to making money on the Internet is to start by selling somebody else's product or service. This is called affiliate marketing. There are web sites such as Commission Junction and Clickbank where it's possible to sign up for free and get access to thousands of products that you can promote for up to 70% commission. If you're taking people to your own page as a primer then there are lots of content sites and directories where you can get suitable content. The only important thing after that is to have a marketing plan. You need to get people in front of your offer or else it's all for nothing and you won't make any money.

Making money online is not, as the title suggested, easy and the one thing that will stop you from making any money is definitely the lack of a proper Business Plan. You need to know what you are going to be doing every day before you start. Lets face it, you wouldn't start a bricks and mortar business without a proper plan and advice would you? So why should you approach an Online Business any differently? Get yourself a real Plan of Action and Stick to it. This is the surest route to making money online.

Roulette Sniper Allows You to Dominate Online Roulette



I confess, I love playing roulette. As you know, roulette is a game of chance, but a player can employ unique strategies that can significantly increase your odds of winning, and we all want to win, right? The question is, what is the correct strategy?

As I was scouring the Internet looking for a winning roulette strategy I came across a piece of software called Roulette Sniper. I installed the 60 minute trial version that the Roulette Sniper website gives you and tried it out.

I couldn't believe how accurately the trial version was predicting where I should bet. Within the first 10 minutes I won enough money to actually pay for the Roulette Sniper software. I knew I could not have the results playing myself, Roulette Sniper made it happen. The software was extremely easy to learn and I was operating it with ease withing 5 minutes.

Since that night, I have been using Roulette Sniper for over two months. I have continued to win on a consistent basis and I would not consider playing without Roulette Sniper. I have made a very nice income these last two months while playing the

When using Roulette Sniper, I recommend using the conservative settings. I would also adjust the high low settings by 5 points each. These settings have proved to be the most profitable for me and allow for steady action.

Roulette Sniper also plays a pivotal role in money management, which is critical for all gambling. The money management strategies alone were worth the price of the software and has allowed me to consistently make wise decisions.

The only aspect of Roulette Sniper that I did not like is the loud graphic options. I found them annoying but it is very easy to turn them off, thank goodness.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Roulette Sniper to anyone playing roulette online. Again, you can download it and try it for free to make sure it is right for you. I am confident you will be satisfied with the software and will have several great days and nights at the wheel!

Writing - How Do You Make Money?


You have to decide the areas you are willing to compromise in. Very few people write what they want and sell it. Even established authors have to give their regular readers more of the same genre.

So, choose EITHER 1 OR 2

1. Do you want to be totally free to choose what you write?
2. Do you want to have a good chance of making money?

OPTION 1 - Writing what you want

A lot of people have a dream of having a book published, but they have no idea where to start.

The Internet is a great source of help for these aspiring writers. There are forums, help groups and websites designed to help writers to develop their talent and find their niches. No longer does the writer spend a fortune sending proof copies to every publisher they can find. Nowadays he or she can find lists of publishers, both traditional and Internet based, who are looking for materials.

There are sites where you can post your story and get paid every time someone downloads or reads it. There are programs that will help you turn your poems or stories into e-books that can be sold on ClickBank, allowing readers to use their credit cards, without you going to the expense of getting a Merchant Account.

You can download e-books that guide you step by step through the brainstorming and writing process. The software will help you to structure your characters and story line.

There are other sites where a mentor will guide your writing development. Some of these mentoring sites are even free.

There are publishers who print your book on demand, if they get an order they print one off. This means that they are not investing capital in producing thousands of books for which there is no proven market.

You can pay to have your book published privately, and this option is cheaper than it ever used to be, but if your writing is good, you will find a way to have it published without paying a cent.

OPTION 2 - Making money from what you write

There are hundreds of thousands of e-zine and website owners on the Internet who are positively crying out for content. They need content in order to increase their search engine popularity and make more money from advertising. There are lots of websites where freelance writers bid to write content for these Internet publishers.

If you value your writing then compete on quality only. There are many people willing to work for peanuts in the world. These people, in low wage economies, need less money than you do. Their English is often poor and the articles that they write are appalling in terms of content, spelling and grammar. You cannot compete on price, so do not even think about it.

You can also write articles and submit them to print magazines. Read a few magazines and find the sort of work they are looking for. Submit articles on similar subjects and in a similar style to those you read. Payment ranges from $50 to $500, depending on the publication and article length. If you are planning a long article, that you are hoping to be well paid for, then you are better off submitting a proposal to the magazine, before you start writing. This will save a lot of heart-ache.

How to Make Money Betting on Horse Races

A strategy that allows you to win
money from horse racing
without the paralysing fear of losses!


Is it possible to win each you place a bet on a horse race? Is it possible to make money betting on horse races? Yes and yes. These are two questions that have been asked in discussion boards all over the internet and the solution to each of them is yes.

In order to make it possible for you to win each and every time you place a bet on a horse race, there must be some serious research that goes along with it. Don't try to just toss down a few dollars and hope for luck.

You may get lucky here and there, but you will end up losing eventually and that feeling is no fun. The feeling we want is the awesomeness of winning or even better, the knowing before the race even starts that you are going to come out ahead no matter what.

The easiest way to know that you are going to win no matter what is with a statistical approach to horse gambling. You have to know which horses to bet on, what the odds are, what bets to place, and how much to gamble on each horse.

That is the key. It is a lot to know, but you can simply find out by discovering someone else's strategy that works and mimic it. That is what most of corporate America does anyway. They copy their closest competitors.

Think about it for a second, every time Chevrolet introduces a new car, Mitsubishi is right behind with something similar. You can do the same thing. There is no penalty for choosing the same horses and the same bets as another person.

So how do you find this guy? You could check out race after race wishing to find a new friend or you could hit the online discussion boards. There are a lot of people that will give you their strategies for a small cost.

So the question you have to ask yourself is: Is it worth it to pay a small cost now or would you rather lose the money while figuring out what other gamblers know? It is very possible to make money betting on horse races if you are willing to do some research first.

Make Money Copywriting: Three Tips For Beginning Copywriters


Copywriting is a highly lucrative career; essentially, it involves writing promotional and general marketing materials for businesses. In this article, we'll discuss three tips which will help you to begin copywriting.

There's no formal training for copywriters. Learning copywriting is very much a matter of experience and practice.

I started my copywriting career by accident several decades ago when I discovered that newspaper display advertising was expensive, and that press releases were not only free, but resulted in great publicity. A little creativity and ingenuity not only won free advertising, but also led to a surge of customers for the business.

The initial editorial attention - newspaper stories - brought the business credibility and even more publicity from other media.

So I learned the benefits and power of copywriting in helping a business to grow. Other businesses asked me to write copy for them, and I began a self-education process in copywriting which continues. A copywriter is always learning new skills and tricks of the trade.

Here are three tips which will help you to begin copywriting.

1. Get a copywriting mentor

The best way to learn copywriting is with the help of a mentor. A mentor can help you not only to learn the basics of writing copy, but will also help you to learn to get clients, work with them, and keep them happy.

The usual way of finding a mentor is to get hired by an advertising agency, and to learn copywriting from the ground up, so to speak. By seeing how copywriters write, you'll develop your own skills.

With the growth of the online world, you can find copywriting mentors online. There are many courses you can take, and some professional copywriters offer mentoring programs. Although these programs may seem expensive, when you consider that they lead to a lucrative career, they're a great investment in yourself and your future.

2. Write samples until you get hired

All writing is both a craft, and a skill. As with any craft, you learn by doing. Initially, the copy you write will be exercises you've devised for yourself, or which someone has given you.

Doing exercises is vital. Not only do the exercises help you to build your skills, but your best exercises will form part of your copywriting portfolio, until you have copy which you've written for others.

Humble though they may be, your copywriting exercises have a powerful effect on your future.

3. Develop a copywriting Web site

My final tip is for you to develop your own Web site, from which you can sell your copywriting services.

A Web site saves you a lot of time and money. Years ago, clients' initial enquiries came to me via the phone. I'd talk to the prospective client, assess his needs, and would then send him my portfolio, which formed a large paper package. I spent a lot of time on the phone, and a lot of money sending clients packages.

A Web site cuts down on the time you spend on the phone. Clients can visit your site, view your portfolio, and can self-select themselves as potential clients. By the time they contact you, nowadays via email, they already know a lot about you and what you can do for them.

So there you have it: three tips which will help you to begin your copywriting career. Welcome to the world of copywriting.

BUILD YOUR SELF ESTEEM, A STARTER GUIDE TO SELF IMPROVEMENT

So how do you stay calm, composed and maintain self esteem in a tough environment? Here are some tips you may to consider as a starter guide to self improvement.

Imagine yourself as a Dart Board. Everything and everyone else around you may become Dart Pins, at one point or another. These dart pins will destroy your self esteem and pull you down in ways you wont even remember. Dont let them destroy you, or get the best of you. So which dart pins should you avoid?

Dart Pin #1 : Negative Work Environment
Beware of dog eat dog theory where everyone else is fighting just to get ahead. This is where non-appreciative people usually thrive. No one will appreciate your contributions even if you miss lunch and dinner, and stay up late. Most of the time you get to work too much without getting help from people concerned. Stay out of this, it will ruin your self esteem. Competition is at stake anywhere. Be healthy enough to compete, but in a healthy competition that is.

Dart Pin #2: Other Peoples Behavior
Bulldozers, brown nosers, gossipmongers, whiners, backstabbers, snipers, people walking wounded, controllers, naggers, complainers, exploders, patronizers, sluffers all these kinds of people will pose bad vibes for your self esteem, as well as to your self improvement scheme.

Dart Pin #3: Changing Environment
You cant be a green bug on a brown field. Changes challenge our paradigms. It tests our flexibility, adaptability and alters the way we think. Changes will make life difficult for awhile, it may cause stress but it will help us find ways to improve our selves. Change will be there forever, we must be susceptible to it.

Dart Pin #4: Past Experience
Its okay to cry and say ouch! when we experience pain. But dont let pain transform itself into fear. It might grab you by the tail and swing you around. Treat each failure and mistake as a lesson.

Dart Pin #5: Negative World View
Look at what youre looking at. Dont wrap yourself up with all the negativities of the world. In building self esteem, we must learn how to make the best out of worst situations.

Dart Pin #6: Determination Theory
The way you are and your behavioral traits is said to be a mixed end product of your inherited traits (genetics), your upbringing (psychic), and your environmental surroundings such as your spouse, the company, the economy or your circle of friends. You have your own identity. If your father is a failure, it doesnt mean you have to be a failure too. Learn from other peoples experience, so youll never have to encounter the same mistakes.

Sometimes, you may want to wonder if some people are born leaders or positive thinkers. NO. Being positive, and staying positive is a choice. Building self esteem and drawing lines for self improvement is a choice, not a rule or a talent. God wouldnt come down from heaven and tell you George, you may now have the permission to build self esteem and improve your self.

In life, its hard to stay tough specially when things and people around you keep pulling you down. When we get to the battle field, we should choose the right luggage to bring and armors to use, and pick those that are bullet proof. Lifes options give us arrays of more options. Along the battle, we will get hit and bruised. And wearing a bullet proof armor ideally means self change. The kind of change which comes from within. Voluntarily. Armor or Self Change changes 3 things: our attitude, our behavior and our way of thinking.

Building self esteem will eventually lead to self improvement if we start to become responsible for who we are, what we have and what we do. Its like a flame that should gradually spread like a brush fire from inside and out. When we develop self esteem, we take control of our mission, values and discipline. Self esteem brings about self improvement, true assessment, and determination. So how do you start putting up the building blocks of self esteem? Be positive. Be contented and happy. Be appreciative. Never miss an opportunity to compliment. A positive way of living will help you build self esteem, your starter guide to self improvement.

Engineering Your Job Search


Before you enter into the job search you need to clarify exactly what it is you are looking for and make a clear plan of action. To succeed, there are some fundamental techniques you can use to set you on the right path.

Think about what the employer is looking for in a potential employee and what you have to offer. What your talent is, and how it can be used by an employer is known as employment value. Do not expect employers to discover this value alone, know who you are and what you have to sell.

Resources – where to look

Review job leads: through newspapers, specialist journals, industry websites and recruitment agencies. Research and contact employers. Send out speculative CVs to specific companies you have interest in and target the particular individual who heads the department you would like to work for. Don't forget to explain in your cover letter or over the phone why you have pinpointed them.

Network. This is the act of contacting people who can assist in your search. Prepare your CV. It must be up to date, printed and in a ready to mail or present on demand format.

Traditional job hunting techniques

Although newspaper adverts represent only a small proportion of the job market it is one of the options you should be employing to strengthen your search. If you use the classifieds as a primary source of job leads you will consequently encounter a lot of competition. The most effective method is to utilise a combination of strategies focusing on both the hidden job market and the advertised job market.

Your recruitment consultant is a primary source of support. An agency is focused on achieving the right results for you, and has greater access to job openings. You can discuss job criteria with your consultant and they can offer advice on how to best progress your job search.

The non-traditional job search

To conduct an active search, tap into 'the hidden job market'. A recent survey discovered that three out of every five job-postings are not listed in newspapers or on electronic job boards. Network by attending local meetings, become active in professional organisations and community groups, speak with associates and acquaintances and ask people who and what they know. Register with appropriate mailing lists, newsgroups, and chat forums. A network of career contacts can provide support, information and job leads. Keep records to maintain effective links with the leads you have engaged, and be ready for the next move.

And finally, get organised and get committed. The biggest mistake most people make is finding excuses for not being proactive in their job search. Develop a daily plan and stick to it. When you are offered a position and you would like to accept, send a note/email to all the people who helped you, relaying the good news. This will ensure the continued growth of your career. By occasionally contacting these people you will remain open to opportunities.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO IMPROVE YOUR SELF?

Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and insecurities wrap ourselves up, we always come up with the idea of I wish I was somebody else. More often than not, we think and believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us.- when in reality, the fact is, most people are more scared than us.

You spot a totally eye-catching girl sitting by herself at a party, casually sipping on a glass of Asti Spumanti. You think to yourself, she looks so perfectly calm and confident. But if you could read thru her transparent mind, you would see a bunch of clouds of thoughts and you might just be amazed that shes thinking are people talking about why I am seated here alone?... Why dont guys find me attractive? I dont like my ankles, they look too skinny I wish I was as intelligent as my best friend.

We look at a young business entrepreneur and say Wooh what else could he ask for? He stares at himself at the mirror and murmur to himself, I hate my big eyes I wonder why my friends wont talk to me I hope mom and dad would still work things out.

Isnt it funny? We look at other people, envy them for looking so outrageously perfect and wish we could trade places with them, while they look at us and thinks of the same thing. We are insecure of other people who themselves are insecure of us. We suffer from low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence and lose hope in self improvement because we are enveloped in quiet desperation.

Sometimes, you notice that you have an irritating habit like biting off your finger nails, having a foul mouth, and you of all people, is the last to know.

I have a friend who never gets tired of talking. And in most conversations, she is the only one who seems to be interested in the things she has to say. So all of our other friends tend to avoid the circles whenever shes around, and she doesnt notices how badly she became socially handicapped gradually affecting the people in her environment.

One key to self improvement is to LISTEN and TALK to a trusted friend. Find someone who you find comfort in opening up with even the most gentle topics you want to discuss. Ask questions like do you think I am ill-mannered?, Do I always sound so argumentative?, Do I talk too loud?, Does my breath smell?, Do I ever bore you when were together?. In this way, the other person will obviously know that you are interested in the process of self improvement. Lend her your ears for comments and criticisms and dont give her answers like Dont exaggerate! Thats just the way I am! Open up your mind and heart as well. And in return, you may want to help your friend with constructive criticism that will also help her improve her self.

One of Whitney Houstons songs says Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. True enough. In order to love others, you must love yourself too. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have.

Before telling other people some ways on how to improve themselves, let them see that you yourself is a representation and a product of self improvement. Self improvement makes us better people, we then inspire other people, and then the rest of the world will follow.

Stop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings. Forget the repetitive thought of If only I was richer if only I was thinner and so on. Accepting your true self is the first step to self improvement. We need to stop comparing ourselves to others only to find out at the end that weve got 10 more reasons to envy them.

We all have our insecurities. Nobody is perfect. We always wish we had better things, better features, better body parts, etc. But life need not to be perfect for people to be happy about themselves.Self improvement and loving yourself is not a matter of shouting to the whole world that you are perfect and you are the best. Its the virtue of acceptance and contentment. When we begin to improve ourselves, we then begin to feel contented and happy.
