5 INTERNET MONEY MAKING IDEAS

1.      Affiliate marketing! One of the best kept secrets on the internet. The basic concept of affiliate marketing is to market other people’s product. And the neat thing is that you don’t have to buy the products, you don’t have to package or ship the product the affiliate marketing company handles everything. The only thing you handle is the check you receive. Use any search engine, search for online affiliate marketing companies, they are thousands of them; from the great to the small. Visit their websites and register.

Note! Before you become an affiliate marketer first, choose your niche or area of interest. Second you need traffic. These two things will make you a successful affiliate marketer.

There more are technicalities about affiliate marketing which, will be discussed in another article.

2.      Flipping expired domain names: this is a very old internet money making idea. As the name implies you are buying and selling expired domain names. First, what’s a domain name? If you look at your browser there is a name, that’s a domain name. Names like google.com, amazon.com, yahoo.com etc are all domain names.

Many domain names expire and it’s believed that this expired domain names are valuable. You see, those who had the domain name before may have extensively marketed the domain name to increase their website traffic. As the domain name expires the traffic doesn’t expire coupled with its earlier profitability.

It could be compared to transferring your business to a building once owned by a popular company, no doubt your business will profit from the past popularity of that building.

Flipping expired domain names is a very niche industry but, a massive money making industry.

3.      E-bay! E-bay! Everyone knows what e-bay is. I believe you can even teach me about e-bay, so I’m not saying anything about it. But if you don’t known what E-bay is by now, just go to E-bay.com and find out. I believe you will be blow away by the money making potential of E-bay.

4.      Information marketing: information that solves a problem is the hottest money making concept on the internet. People want information, it makes things easy, it makes people happy. There’s a saying “if you are not informed you are deformed.

If you can make an information product, no matter what it is people will want it and if it solves a problem it’s a winner.

5.      Network marketing: the internet has made everything easy for network marketing. Gone are the days of spirit crushing rejection common to network marketing. The internet removes all the disadvantages of the old model of network marketing and amplifies the advantages, making it one of the hottest ways to make money on the internet. I will provide more information on this, in another article.

POEM

If  you THINK you are beaten- you are

If you THINK you dare not-you don’t

If you like to WIN but you THINK can’t it’s almost certain you won’t

If you THINK you’ll loose- your lost

For out of this world we find that success begins with a fellows WILL it’s all in the state of MIND.

If you THINK your outclassed- your are.

You've got to THINK high to rise, you’ve got to be so sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize.

 Life’s battle doesn’t go to the swifter Or faster man.

But soon or later the man who WINS is the man who THINKS he  can.

JOKE

A man walks in to a store to buy birds. He sees dozens of caged birds with tiny price tags dangling from their little legs. He scans each price tag one by one: $5, $5, $5…..$50!

“hmmm”, he wonders. “this $50 bird looks like all the others. What could be special about this one?”

He ask the store clerk. This one is very special because it can talk. The shopper is impressed enough that he buys this special talking bird and takes it home. The very next day he returns, disappointed.

  “the bird didn’t talk.”

The clerk asks, “did he look in his little mirror?”

Little mirror? I didn’t buy a mirror. Does he need a mirror?”

“of course”, replies the clerk. “he looks in his little mirror and sees another bird in there. He thinks his not alone and starts to sing. Starts to talk. Got to have a mirror.”

This sound reasonable, so the customer buys a mirror and leaves. The next day he is back again, disgruntled.

“the bird looked in his little mirror,” he says. “but he didn’t talk.”

“well,” ponders the clerk, “did he run up and down his little ladder?”

“ladder? Does he need a ladder?”

“Of course,” replies the clerk. “don’t you feel better after you exercise?

When your little bird runs up and down his little ladder, those endorphins start pumping in his little brain. Makes him want to sing. Makes him want to talk. Got to have a ladder.”

“how much is a ladder?”

It’s $12.95.”

“give me a ladder.” And off goes the customer. The next day his back, with a scowl on his face.

“the bird walked up and down his little ladder. He looked in his little mirror. But he still didn’t talk!”

The clerk listens to the angry customer and then ask, “did he swing on his little swing? You see, when the bird swings it makes him think he’s back in nature. Make him want to sing. Makes him want to talk.”

“how much is a swing?”

“it’s $7.95.”

The customer grudgingly buys the swing and leaves. But the very next day he is back again, angrier than ever.

The bird swung on his little swing. He ran up and down his little ladder. He looked in his little mirror. But he still didn’t sing and he still didn’t talk!”

“hummm.” Thinks the clerk. “did he tingle his little bell?

The customer didn’t even wait for an explanation. Determined to see this to its conclusion, he grabs a little bell, throws some money on the counter and storms off. You guessed it- the next day he is back again.

“the birds dead!” he exclaims.

“dead?”

Yup. Dead. His little feet sticking out in the air. He got up this mourning healthy as could be. He looked in his little mirror. He tingled his little bell. He ran up and down his little ladder. He swung on his little swing. And just before he keeled over and died, he looked over at me , a little tear forming in his eye, and he finally spoke to me. He said, didn’t they sell birdseed?!

(MARKETING AND SALES)

 Marketing and selling keeps a business alive..

Marketing and sales may not be easy but, if you can understand and do them, you will succeed.

Just think about it, everything you have, everything you ever bought, was marketer by someone and sold to you-food, clothing, and furniture- EVERYTHING!

If you want to make money massively you must learn how to market and sell a product. If you notice I’m saying nothing about the product or service you are marketing. WHY?  Because, a silly product can sell very well with good marketing and a good profit will fail with bad marketing. The all important key to your success-Marketing and Sales.

Learn all you can about marketing and sales, read all you can, attend the best seminars, take offline and online classes; do what ever you can to know how to market and sale. I know you may say, “sales men all want money”! Yeah they do, and so does everyone. I’ve never seen anyone reject $1,000,000 and I guess you will not reject it too.

The truth is that a product or service is worthless without marketing and sales, a product or service will benefit no one if there’s no one to sell it.

In another article I will show you how to find the very best marketing and sales books  and how to find the very best online classes or I can send it to your email as a free newsletter if you want, plus a list of all the best books so you don’t waste your time and energy searching through all the books,  if you would like that, please leave your email.

YOUR TALENT AN UNTAPPED GOLD MINE

What do you love doing? What are you passionate about? What is your talent?

What is a talent? A talent is an unusual natural ability to do something well and it can be developed through training. Everybody has a talent (even the Berger down the streets has a talent). Everybody is born with a talent an unusual natural ability. Even though we all have talents, not everybody is able to identify it in themselves. Because this unusual natural ability is often common to its owner, coupled with the fact that it’s usually underdeveloped.

Have you watched the movie X-MEN? (Hot action movie). The movie X-men features superhuman characters with, unique abilities. My favorite is a character called doctor X leader of the X-men, he can read minds. I wish I can read your mind now but, what will I see? hmm…….. . The movie is totally fictional as you know and our talents cannot be that spectacular. However, many people do things that seem supernatural to other people. For example; the computer or phone we all use is the product of very talented people. Over 200 years ago using a phone, computer or even electricity would be impossible; in fact, thinking of such ideas-a phone that used to talk to another person in another part of the earth, a computer or even electricity-would be insane. But, the talented scientist of the past believed it was possible to invent a phone, computer, electricity and many other inventions, they loved what they did, they were passionate about it and made it happen. I say thank you them.

As stated earlier the sad thing about talent is the inability to recognize it. A very powerful talent, comparable to inventing a phone, computer, internet and electricity can lie dormant through out a person’s life. For example, I have this friend who constantly complaints about the obvious talents of others like singers, actors, comedians and spots people. He sees nothing special about himself. But, this is a guy that, if he enters a place for some unexplained reason everybody immediately likes him, I have tried to copy him, with much painful effort, yet I can’t seem to do it. Yet this guy feels he has no talent, this guy is such a social guy, he does it effortlessly. You will agree with me that, he has an amazing talent (his practically a one man social network). Yet he doesn’t recognize his ability as a talent, his heart recognizes it but his mind cannot see it.

A talent is an untapped gold mine, if you are able to recognize and develop it. A talent is usually something you love doing, a talent is something you do that all your friends talk about. It’s something that is so easy for you but very difficult for others. Your talent could be as simple as being able to keep white cloths, white for years or being able to naturally save money or being able to take care of animals There this guy on the national geographic channel that is so good with dogs, he can examine the behavior of your dogs and tell you if they are friends or enemies if they are sad or happy. That’s his talent. Talents come in different sizes, and different shapes. You can become very rich by using your talent productively. Harnessing the gold ore from it.

Identifying your talent is one thing developing your talent is another. In the next article in will discus how you can develop your talent.

THE REAL WAY TO BUDGET YOUR MONEY

 

Budget, the dreaded b-word (may be not to you, but to some people) making and sticking to budget is tedious work, it’s tedious because it requires two things: mental strength and self-control. (In a preceding article I gave what I believe are the benefits of self-control).

Why does making and sticking to a budget require mental strength and self-control? I think that, Budgeting requires knowing little about numbers, as well as trying to think into the future. These require mental strength. Budgeting also, requires controlling the natural physiological desires. This natural physiological desires to eat, sleep, attraction to what I see and to procreate, hmm….. These desires don’t come with and off and on buttons, the only way to on and off my desires is the mind, using the mind to initiate self-control. Because basically it’s easy to write a budget, I can  arrange my spending to the last penny, but will the natural desires I have allow a me to follow and stick to my  budget when I live in a “ world of stuff beckons” every product is attractive,  aimed at making me spend, spend. (I admit that, this is difficult for me to do).

In the book multiple streams of income by Robert Allen the 2^nd edition (if you wish to get your financial life organized read that book, the information there is priceless) Allen outlines seven financial secrets, the second secret-to control money. He gives a simple principle, a simple shift in perspective- thinking of your cash flow (money coming to you) as streams and the money you spend as leaks. Controlling this streams and leaks is the essence of your personal financial organization.

A budget can help you become financially free, but a real budget is the level of self-control you have and ability of your mind to keep track of your spending. This may sound stressful, and many may decide to just go with the flow, making a lot excuses, like, I don’t have a head for math’s, my spouse takes care of that stuff, none of my friends do it (too bad for them). I think that, excuses will only help increase debt, I mean bad debt. There are people who will be deep in debt for years, and being in debt leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

CONVERTING FINANCIAL FAILURES OR MISTAKES TO FINANCIAL SUCCESS

FAILING, no body likes failing anything, many even hate the word “fail”. This, in my opinion, is because of the pain attached to failing. It’s a fact, that all living things- humans and animals- move away from pain to pleasure (may be only the masochist). This may not sound so sweet for even me to say, but, for big success you must have some failures.

 Humans are imperfect, and despite our quest for excellence our imperfect nature makes us make mistakes (maybe that’s why every pencil is made with an eraser, so that we can erase our mistakes). The truth is that mistakes and failures are part of life.

But, sad to say that many see making mistakes or failing as bad, in our schools the child is severely punished for making a mistake or his parents severely punish him for failing his exams, and he grows up with the fear of making mistakes or failing.

Failures and mistakes has being the building block of every civilization and invention. Take Thomas Edison a very ingenious famous inventor, you may have read about him, Edison is the inventor of the incandescent lamp, which serves as a model for many light bulbs we see today. Edison failed or made mistakes hundreds of times while trying to invent the incandescent lamp. But, each mistake ended up making him a legend. He converted his failures or mistakes to success by learning from them. Or take Christopher Columbus and ingenious Italian- born Spanish navigator, he experienced failures while trying to find a route to the indices. He converted his failure to success by discovering America. Both Edison and Columbus understood that failure played a role in being successful.  

In the book rich dad poor dad by Robert kiyosaki a New York Times best selling author, he said that “his rich dad constantly used the example of learning to ride a bicycle to teach him the lesson in mistakes”. You will, agree with me that you can’t teach a person how to ride a bicycle but, the person can learn, so it is with financial success, you can’t teach a person how to be successful but, the person can learn how to be successful.

Learning how to ride a bicycle requires injuries, pain, mistakes or failures, when you do learn it you start riding like a pro and you can even go pro. Same goes for being financially successful it requires, pain, mistakes and failures, but, when you become financially successful you will not trade the mistakes and failures for anything. Simply put, you can’t have big success without failures and mistakes.

The biggest failure is a person, who has never failed and a person who never learns from his mistakes and failures. Imagine an individual on a farm land seriously angry with the ground, stumping and punching the ground; you walk up to him to ask what the problem is? He says “just look at this ground, two years ago I planted corn expecting beans, it gave me corn, last year the same thing, this year the same thing. I believe you will agree with me that, the individual is insane. This is how many people try to solve their financial problems. Albert Einstein said “ insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result”  with that definition a person does not have to be in an asylum with a straight jacket before he or she can be considered insane).

Please let no body make you believe that, because you failed in a particular activity, you are a failure. If you make mistakes while you try to improve your skills, you are on your way to being excellent and successful. I will repeat it again; mistakes and failures make you successful. But if you keep on making the same mistake over and over and over again and never learning from them, then I would have to admit that you are a failure.

In this game of trying to earn a living, in trying to make money you need to accept your imperfections, your tendency to make a mistake. This is a realistic way to of understanding how to cope with your failures or mistakes and to convert them to success.

I wish you the best. Thanks for reading this article.
