In world where their’s a myriad of home based businesses it can be difficult and time consuming to find the one that works, and that will put you into profit, while freeing up most of your time.

There are lot of systems out there that pride them selves on tons of BOGUS software and products such as: e-books outdated software and other fluff that they put up to front that they in fact a real work at home business, when in fact its just a cloak for reselling the business and by definition is defined as a ‘a pyramid scheme’.

The 1980’s saw a ton of these rise and fall quickly leaving the guys at the bottom nothing, and fat wallet for owner. Today there is internet go figure. This is why its important when looking at any business to evaluate the product for REAL MARKET VALUE, this will be the greatest indicator of success. First of all pyramid schemes have no real product ( or pretend to such as old software, e-books and other no use junk people will never buy. Perfect examples of this are: big ticket to wealth, road map to riches, passport to wealth, perfect wealth formula, craig garcia and michael corcoran s edc, edc gold and edc diamond.

This is a common tactic you will see in over hype internet businesses and are a tell tale sign of a flat outright scam. Often these so called products are a cover up for a pyramid scheme, it just astounds me how many so called businesses online and abroad are blatant pyramid schemes. No there’s nothing wrong with having a sign up fee as long as legit products are being sold, not just the opportunity that will definitely crumble the pyramid leaving you in the rumble and the top point or owners wealthy. Just ask around and see if anyone involved with the business your looking at really made a dime, because this so rare. However if you can read between the lines you’ll learn the truth that they only sell the business. Even if you are comfortable with just reselling the business I can guarantee that only the original few that first joined are going to have the bulk of the sales and continue to parade their “heavy hitters” over and over again as if you too will make millions, while everyday there on forth the market becomes over saturated and sales slow to a trickle and inevitably the business implodes and crashes down on your dream of being rich. The END.

For me, I like to blog and I like to make money. I don’t jump into get rich quick things that have little chance of success. So, I have started my like blog to make money enterprise.  I have found the tools and products that have helped me to gradually become successful.  However, just like anything that actually makes money, it takes hard work.

Are you looking at an Internet Biz Opp?  Does that biz opp have a bunch of 2nd rate e-books and old software that no one in their right mind would ever really buy.  Are you told that people really do sell that junk, only to find out on closer inspection they only sell and resell the business. Well then you probably uncovered another garden variety pyramid scheme infesting the internet left and right.

They say money doesn’t grow on trees, but I think you can grow it on something even better! Your home computer. To make your money tree grow, you will need to give it a home and a place to grow. You can do this by creating your own website.  Here are some basics steps to creating your own website:

After reading this article, check out the blog we used to plant and grow our tree.

1.Pick a domain name. Make sure the name relates well to the information on your website. If you can, make it short and easy to remember.

2.Create your web site using a web site creator, hand coding your own html, or a combination of both.  Note: Don’t freak out if you are not technical.  You can accomplish this easier with a blog.

3. You will need to sign up for a hosting account to get your website online.   Learn more about the hosting platform we use for our blogs.

Next you will need to plant the money tree seed by developing your product so it can grow:

1.The fastest and easiest way to create a product to sell on your new web site is to create a information product (e-book, audio, etc.). Its very low cost or free to create, and everything is automatic and electronic. That means there is no overhead and no products to ship!

2.You may also want to consider borrowing some seeds while you make your own. You can do this but signing up with other companies that sell information products and selling their products for a commission. This is a great way to get started and test the markets to see whats selling. You also build relationships with companies and that very well could be a marketing advantage after you finish your product.  This is called affiliate marketing and a great way to get started until you have your own product. You can check out places like clickbank.com to get the idea.

Finally you will need to nourish your tree by watering it with traffic.

There are three main way to get traffic to your website

1.Your can buy traffic through sites like google. With this method you pay each time someone searches for your key words and they click on your link to your site. This is not recommended in the very beginning because it is so competitive and has the potential to be very costly.

2.You can email the mailing list you have made over time. Send out a promotional email and and get your previous traffic coming back. Just be careful not send out too many, or they will become annoyed and turned off to all your other emails.

3.Partner up with your competition. You can get your competitors to send out your promotional emails by offering them a commission. Your competitors can become one of your best assets!

4. Write articles and submit them to article directories like Ezine.com, Goarticles.com etc.

Maintain your tree by watering it with plenty of traffic, and give it plenty of love by updating your blog OFTEN!  

Note:  Just like a real tree, this will not grow overnight!  It takes time and effort to cultivate your blog just like nature takes time with a tree!  However, just like a tree, once it is growing up it is a beautiful and fruitful thing!

If you save money, the money will save you!

The problem with most peoples finances today is that they are not getting enough income to satisfy their needs and wants. People are naturally going to buy things they want even if it means spending more than they have (credit cards), and they know in the back of their minds that they cant afford it, but they will get it anyway. I think people will develop their own budgeting scheme when their income meets their wants then they will be budgeting masters, all by their selves. But till then there will ALWAYS be people in debt no matter how much you preach!

I think a solution to some people’s money problem is to teach them how to make extra money first, and then teach them how to budget and save it. Americans really don’t want that much; it is the hobbies that get people in trouble, bills, spending too much on golf clubs, car parts, computers, things around the house etc.

I don’t know about you but this is how I feel about life. Working a 9 to 5 made me sick and tired of being sick and tired. I did not want to be stuck knowing that I will be ‘working’ for the rest of my life, taking orders from bosses, putting up with BS and other peoples attitude, having to get up in the morning when I want to sleep in and that fear of getting fired. I was in that situation but recently was able to leave it.  I started out part time but was able to work my way into a home career. There are people right now making well over $20,000/monthly working for their selves and they are everyday people that you see walking their dog, in supermarkets or even that person arguing with the McDonalds cashier. If these people ever do go back to work for someone else they can do it “stress free” even if the job is stressful (think about that).

Before, you can work for yourself you have to decide one thing: If you really want that responsibility. If you said yes, you have gotten over the biggest hurdle and you will not be limited to the income your employer is giving you. I know what I am about to say will be over simplistic but I will save the details for you to research on your own. Here is a breakdown

1st: determine if you really want self-employment

2nd: decide what area of business you want or good at.

3rd: If step 2 requires money, their are program out there that can help you get started in internet business, selling or something else before you start in what you want to do.

For example, “I want to own a photography shop but it costs $10,000 to get started. Well, if I sell product A for a year I can do it”. You never know, whatever you get into before your dream business may make you $50,000 a month and you may forget all about that photography shop. I can help you here too.

4th Research, research and do more research. Find out what you competition is. Find out how much money they are making. Find out where they are advertising. Find out what it takes to get started. Find out where your customer are etc, etc, etc..research
5th EXECUTE!! I mean once you have confidence go do it.

They say that 90% of home businesses fail for the first time. And you may fail, but all you have to do is try and try again, please don’t give up. Believe me, you will get it right and when you do, you will be very successful. The percentage of people who fail for the second and third time is much lower than the first timers. Well sorry to talk yall half to death, I can go on and on about this stuff.

If you want to make money online and are looking how to start or how to jumbstart your business, take a look at the tools discussed Blog To Make Money or our Make Money Page.

Save Money Tips & Make Money

Martha was having a restless night. The other day she got a billing statement from her credit card company that told her she was behind schedule on her monthly payment.  She also felt harassed every time a debt collector would call her at the office and at home, sometimes even in odd hours of the night.   They were also having troubles paying the mortgage and the monthly installments on the new car. Their financial woes are partly due to her husband Ben, who himself admits being a big spender.  Ben is an avid car enthusiast who spends a lot of money to “spice up” their Japanese car and make it look like one of those street racers in the movie, “Too Fast, Too Furious.”

The money problems have become so big that both Ben and Martha now experience enormous stress and anxiety every single day.  Due to their financial difficulties, they now quarrel a lot and exchange the blame for falling into the debt trap.  It is no wonder that money is now one of the leading causes of divorce.

Money, or more appropriately, the lack of money is one of the main reasons for stress and anxiety in marriage.  In the United States, the average household has at least $9,200 in credit card debt. The Bens and Marthas hardly know about the strategies and techniques to gain financial success.  The common mistake among hard-pressed couples is spending more than they make.  Lack of discipline in the use of  credit cards also leave many people enslaved to making payments to settle both the principal loan and   interest fees.

We all face different challenges and pressures about money. It can be really overwhelming to face these financial problems if nothing is done about them early on.   Because of the constant demands to meet our day-to-day living expenses, it also becomes the leading cause of stress and anxiety that can eventually  ruin your emotional and physical well-being.

But money should really help us improve our lot and not make our lives miserable. In order to lessen the pressure brought about by financial problems, it may be helpful to read and consider the following financial management advice:

First, develop a realistic budget. This is the very first step you need to take to regain control over your finances . Make a list of all the money you owe or bills to pay — then decide to pay them one by one based on your fixed paying capacity. Also, it is good to make a list of all other sources of income. The next step is to write  down all your “fixed” expenses like mortgage, rent, car payments, electricity, credit cards, and insurance premiums. After that, determine just how much money you have left to know exactly how much you have left to spend on other things. It is important to stick to your payment schedule and not create other payables before you finish paying for the priority accounts. It is highly recommended to keep  a small notebook that you can use to list down all your expenses.  With the small notebook, you can track where your money goes. In addition, using a computer budgeting program can be a helpful tool for balancing your checkbook.

The second step is to teach your kids about money matters. Children nowadays are easily lured by commercials and advertising gimmicks. With peer pressure and the constant barrage of fads, children may end up losing their allowance to some things that they don’t really need.  It is never too late to teach kids about money matters.  They must be told how hard it is to earn money and that not everything they see in the toy store or on television should or can be bought for them. Children around eight years old can already be trained to manage their allowances and to start their savings.

Another step towards financial freedom — believe or not — is to contact your creditors.  Explain your situation to them and ask them to restructure your loans.  Ask them to present an option for debt consolidation but make sure that the interest rates are manageable and the monthly payments are withing your capacity to pay.  Also, try to convince your creditors to design a modified payment scheme that will lead to a win-win financial situation. 

Cost-cutting measures should also be an automatic undertaking if you want to regain financial freedom.  You can save money by doing simple things like turning off the lights when not using it… scheduling your trips or errands to the grocery stores… or simply cutting down on junk food purchases. All these will help in lowering your monthly expenses. One sure way to cut down costs is to lessen your spending on entertainment.  For example, you can stop that magazine subscription or choose a cheaper cable program with less channels.

After you have enough savings, you may choose to consult a financial advisor regarding investment options and instruments such as mutual bonds and stocks.

Your financial situation shouldn’t go from bad to worse. You have options and you can take control of your money.  But regaining your financial freedom will depend on your  goals and how disciplined you are in achieving those goals.

The key to financial freedom and debt-free living rests entirely on you. Being free from debt is, after all, a big stress relief.

 You can turn things around.  You can fix your credit and you can make extra income online if that is what you desire.
