    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 money problem is to teach them how to make extra money first, and then teach them how to budget and save it. Americans really dont 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 dont know about you but this is how I feel about life. Right now, I am working a 9 to 5 job making $3200 monthly. I dont 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. Currently, I am in this situation but will not be soon. 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 dont 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.

    There are four basic ways to make money from your web site. You can sell products and services. You can sell subscriptions or memberships. You can make money from advertising. And you can use your site to generate referrals and commissions.

    Most businesses only use one or maybe two of the four. You can increase your direct revenue and your opportunities for cross-promotion if you consider them all.

    Here’s a review of what you need for each. In every case you want to deliver what your customers expect and automate as much of the process as possible.

    You can make money on your site by selling things. You can sell products or services, but to make money you have to make sure you have mastered the details.

    No matter what you’re selling you’ll need a good shopping cart. Online shoppers expect to be able to pay with credit cards and with PayPal and complete transactions online. Your shopping cart should calculate shipping charges and sales tax automatically.

    If you’re selling physical products, make sure you’ve worked out all the fulfillment details. Make sure that you have a shipping and inventory system that will deliver great service to your customers.

    Since the net is a worldwide phenomenon, you may get orders from other countries. How will you handle them?

    You can also sell digital products such as e-books and Special Reports. Buyers will expect to be able to download their digital product as soon as they’ve completed paying.

    You can sell services. Many companies are conducting classes on the web, called “webinars.” You’ll need to be able to take orders and send acknowledgments to those who sign up. You’ll also need a reliable way to deliver your webinar.

    You can make money on your site by having subscribers or members who pay you a fee. A membership or subscription fee is simply payment for privileged access.

    People will pay for access to current content, to archives, to services or to other people. Determine what mix of these is best for your business. Make sure you can handle subscription payments, acknowledgments and renewals.

    You can make money on your site from advertising. This used to be quite complicated. But today, with Google’s AdSense program just about any site can generate advertising revenue.

    You can make money on your site by using your site for referrals and commissions. On the web, these are called “affiliate programs.” They can help you make money two ways.

    When you send business to another site using an affiliate link, you generate a modest fee for yourself. Whenever you recommend a product or service on your site, check to see if there’s an affiliate program that will pay you for the link.

    Your own affiliate program can help you draw more desirable traffic to your site. You’ll need software to help you keep track of the business that affiliates send your way. There are standalone packages for this, but affiliate software is also part of most sophisticated shopping cart packages.

    None of these items is rocket science. So use this article as a checklist and take a look at online shopping cart software and ecommerce providers like 1AutomationWiz.com to help you automate all of these methods on your ecommerce web site.

    The bottom line in increasing revenue is using as many of the above income generation methods as you can, as effectively as possible. It’s another case of how the marketing magic is in the mix.

    There are a lot of ways to make money if you have money. You don’t have to turn to complicated businesses or ordinary ways like bank C.D.’s. And you don’t even have to use your money. If you have credit cards, for example, you can get cash advances, and make money with the cash. These are ways that aren’t quite a business because you can do them once or only when you feel like it.

    Invest In Other’s Expertise

    My friend John had to show me several car magazines before I understood why an old fiberglass car was a good deal at $2,300, because I know nothing about cars. When he eventually convinced me to put up the money, it needed a new transmission for $900. Fortunately, he sold the corvette for $4,300, netting us about $1,000. I took half the profit ($500) for putting up the money for the two weeks.

    I used to do this quite a bit years ago, and only once lost $50 or so on a car. I knew nothing about cars, so I did it with friends that know cars but don’t have cash. By the way, if I had paid 18% interest and a $50 cash advance fee to raise the money with a credit card, my profit would still have been over $400, and John did all the work. I love playing with money. Do you have any friends who know everything about boats?

    Buy And Sell Mobile Homes

    Pay cash and you get better prices on almost anything, including mobile homes. Sell with easy terms, and you get the highest price, because you are making it possible for someone to buy a home. More than one investor out there is buying and selling mobile homes.

    I read one investors story about a recent deal he did. He bought a mobile for $4,000. The seller was asking $6,500, but was tired of waiting and paying the lot rent. The investor cleaned it up and sold it for $10,000, with $1000 down, payments of $250, and 10% interest on the balance. Did the buyer overpay? Hard to say, since his alternative may have been renting and having nothing to show for it in a few years, instead of having a home with some residual value.

    Be A Loan Shark

    People occasionally need money for a short while. A friend of mine for example, got a good paying construction job because I loaned him $300 to get drywall stilts. I used to do this often many years ago, and I never charged less than a $5/week as a loan fee (don’t call it interest). I made one or two thousand dollars extra some years doing this. If you have any qualms about it, check the laws in your area and put it all in writing. Also, if you want total security, take collateral.

    Buy And Sell Estates

    We recently met a couple who buy out estates, sell some of the things at flea markets, then run the rest through auctions. They’ve made a living doing this for years. They load up a trailer after negotiating to buy a whole house full of stuff. Then, if they don’t want to do the flea market thing, they just auction everything on Sunday afternoon for a nice profit.
    If you are a good judge of value and have a regular auction nearby, you could do the same with rummage sales. Just offer $100 for everything and then auction it off piece-by-piece. The auction near us lets anyone sell their stuff, with no fee to enter. They just take a 25% commission.

    Playing With The Casino’s Money

    I worked at a casino for years and I saw a lot of people foolishly writing down the numbers that came up on the roulette wheel. Foolishly, I say, because their their theories were nonsense. Casinos will always welcome these players and even hand them the pen and paper.

    One player, however, was actually scientific about it. By finding a bias in the wheel, after “charting” it for 5,000 spins, he made thousands betting on just one or two numbers. When a number comes up, it pays 35 to 1, but one of the numbers, because of manufacturing imperfections or whatever reason, was coming up 1 in 27 spins, instead of the average 1 in 38 spins.

    So all he had to do was bet $10 a spin, and he profited $80 for every 27 spins of the wheel in the long run. That’s about $100 per hour. The ups and downs are dramatic though, so this is not for the faint-hearted. In this case, I saw him lose as much as $700 in a night. Also, not all wheels have biases (they eventually replaced that wheel). So have you ever tried “card counting” in blackjack…? There are endless ways to make money.

    Are Your Debts Out Of Control? You May Need A Debt Reduction Service.

    Many consumers are understandably reluctant to admit, even to themselves, that they are burdened with more debt than they can handle. However, if you find yourself in such a situation, or if you know someone in such a situation, it is important to get the help you need before it is too late. Debt problems do not get better by themselves; they only get worse, so the sooner you deal with excessive debt the better off you will be in the long run.

    The reasons for getting into debt are many, and the debt often starts out innocently enough. Often an unexpected expense like a major car repair or an unexpected medical problem will cause you to run up more bills than usual. Once the cycle of debt begins, it can be difficult to stop, especially if the debt is financed through high interest vehicles like credit cards.

    If you feel you may be in over your head, no matter what the reason, chances are that the services of a debt reduction service may be able to help you deal with and eliminate that high debt level.

    A debt reduction company does just what its name implies; it helps consumers in trouble to reduce their level of debt to where they can deal with it. Debt reduction services work in a variety of ways, from negotiating lower payments with creditors to eliminating interest rates.

    The first step of the debt reduction company will be to get a handle on just what you owe, and to whom you owe it. It is important, therefore, to gather information on everything you owe, and to provide thorough information on all your sources of income, including your salary, any pensions, child support or alimony payments, etc. The staff of the debt reduction service will then work with you and your creditors in order to establish a schedule for debt repayment that works for you. This repayment schedule is the key to the debt reduction plan.

    One thing to keep in mind about debt reduction companies is that their employees are often highly skilled at negotiating favourable repayment terms and realistic repayment schedules on behalf of their clients. That is because they have lots of experience talking with creditors on behalf of their clients, and they can speak to banks and credit card companies in their own language. They may have done this same thing hundreds of times on behalf of hundreds of clients, and they know what works and what does not.

    After the repayment schedule has been worked out, the debt reduction company will then assist the consumer in staying with the agreed upon schedule and making the payments on time. A history of consistent on time payments will help the consumer regain lost footing when it comes to his or her credit rating, as well as help he or she retire their current debt.

    Can you make money giving away credit cards? Giving away credit cards is the basis of a brand new type of home based business. Some features that make this business stand out are that it is not multi-level marketing (MLM), you don’t have to do any cold-calling, you don’t have to sell anything you don’t have to make a monthly purchase or pay fees to remain a member of the business, and you don’t have to recruit other people into the business to make money.

    So, back to the original question: can you make money giving away credit cards? I’d like to show you the answer by asking you to consider these, three questions:

    1. How many people do you know who have at least one credit card?

    2. How hard do you think it must be to get along without a credit card?

    3. How easy do you think it would be to give a credit card to someone who wants one?

    Nowadays practically everything we pay for calls for a payment card of some kind. Things that spring to mind are restaurant bills, purchases made online, vacation bookings, clothing purchases, grocery bills. Checks used to be an option but they are no longer accepted in many places; paper has been replaced by plastic for most everyday purchases. It is easy to see that credit card transactions offer a method of payment which is convenient to both the seller and the spender.

    Most people who use a credit card own more than one card to enable them to get the maximum interest-free period on their purchases. Some people make a habit of changing to a different credit card company whenever there is a special offer such as a low interest rate, or a favourable deal on balance transfers, or some other promotional deal.

    Other people who will be on the lookout for a credit card are those who have been refused credit. This might happen to people who have previously run into trouble with a credit card company during a period of unemployment. Students and graduates who have no credit history find it hard to find a credit card company willing to offer them credit facilities.

    The most unfortunate group of people who can’t get a credit card when they need one are victims of identity theft (also known as identity fraud). They can find that they have been blacklisted for credit even though they are completely innocent of any crime. Once adverse credit references get into the system, it can take years for a victim of identity fraud to have their records corrected and their credit lines restored.

    Anyone who doesn’t have a credit card (for whatever reason) is limited to carrying sufficient cash to cover any purchases they might want to make, or to using a cash card to have the money taken straight out of their bank account. Carrying large sums of cash is never a good idea because it is unlikely to be recovered if it gets lost or stolen. Cash debit cards are fine as long as you have enough money in your bank account to cover your spending; debit cards take away any possibility of deferring payments for anyone on a tight budget who needs a little leeway to juggle funds.

    There is no doubt that credit cards are an in-demand product and it is easy to see how a home business based on giving people what they want is almost bound to be successful. With comparatively little effort, and working part-time it is possible to earn a healthy monthly income from giving away credit cards.

    We’ve talked about ADD and money in our last couple of articles. This time, we’re going another step further.

    Once you have your money organized and you have excess, meaning all of your bills are paid and youre out of debt, then you can have something set aside for messing around, having just fun with.

    Were going to talk with you about an ADD-friendly system that will help you to do just that. When youre down to the wire, when the money is not there and you dont know what to do, all you have to do is ask yourself two questions.

    First, you have to make sure youre only spending money on absolute real necessities, which means food and shelter. After those two necessities are taken care of, theres only one other type of thing you should be spending money on, its very simple.

    Ask yourself this question: This isnt food, and this is not shelter. If I buy this thing, how is this thing going to make me more money immediately, not long term? How is this thing that Im going to buy right now put more money into my pocket?

    If you cannot answer that question, you do not buy it. If you can answer that question, and indeed it plugs directly into whatever youre doing with your job or your business, and it will indeed make you more money, then you have a winner. You can buy that thing.

    Were talking about when youre in a desperate situation. The tactics that Im sharing with you are desperate situation tactics, but even if youre not in a desperate situation, impulse purchases may still be a problem, especially for someone with ADD. How many times have we talked to people who said, I bought seven programs and I dont know how to implement them all, but they all sounded so good?

    Dont bring your credit cards to an event, number one. Bring one check if you have to, or bring cash or your ATM card. The other thing is, youve got to apply this exact same principle to that situation. Ask yourself, “Is this particular, tactical piece of information what I need at this moment to make more money immediately?”

    Once you get your money managed, get it squared away, get it growing for you, then you can start doing more experimentation because you have separate bank accounts set up for money experiments; for trying new things on a whim. You set up a separate account–a whim account–just for messing around with stuff.

    When youre tight, and youre trying to change things, we strongly encourage you to be extreme, because its a lot easier to go for extreme money management and get pretty good money management than it is to go for pretty good money management and not end up changing anything.

    Plus, there is a proliferation of the term multiple streams of income in our society at this moment. Oh, Ive got to have multiple streams. Ive got to have multiple sources of revenue. Yes you do, but you dont need them all today. What were talking about here in the concept of making more money, and making and saving money, is youve got to get your streams up one at a time. You build one, you tweak it, you make it run smoothly, you keep it going, youre comfortable, then you move on. But you have to focus your ADD and stick with it, as long as it’s viable.

    What youve got to look at in your own business is, “Whats going to make me the most amount of money, even though I might not like doing it right this moment?” and focus on that stream of income.

    The point we’re making here is that you need to stick to the basics when your back is to the wall. Even when it’s not, you have to curtail your ADD-induced impulse purchases, or your back will be against the wall. And, you have to run your business the same way. You have to use your ADD to hyperfocus on what’s bringing in the most cash.

    If you want something, ask youself, “Will this help me to make more money? Do I need it to make more money?” and base your decision on those questions. If you don’t, you’ll never have financial freedom. You’ll never be stable, and you’ll always be scratching for the buck. That’s no way to live. Control your ADD, control your money, and you’ll be happier all around.

    3 Things To Watch Out For With Debt Consolidation Services Online

    Most of us are swamped with bills like credit cards and auto loans, so we’re turning to debt consolidation services to help us regain control of our finances. And it’s a good idea, since some debt consolidation services can also help you lower your interest rates and monthly payments. But there are some unscrupulous folks out there, and that means you need to watch out for scammers when you’re looking for a Debt Consolidation Service online. Here are three warning signs of a disreputable company:

    Large, outrageous fees

    Some companies charge $100 just for reviewing your account, often disguised as a “credit analysis.” Others offer an “educational program” consisting of mostly free forms, letters and information gathered from Internet websites. The cost for this “education”? It can be as high as $1,500! Be wary of any company that pushes for up-front payment before you receive any type of service or materials.

    Unbelievable promises

    “Your monthly payment will be half of what you’re currently paying!” “We’ll get your interest rate slashed to zero percent!” “You’ll be paying less in just two weeks!” These types of exaggerated promises are designed to lure you in, and they’re rarely true. No one can work miracles, and they certainly can’t work them in just two weeks. Expect it to take at least a month–and probably longer–before you see the effects of debt consolidation on your finances.

    They make first contact

    Any company that sends out SPAM, cold calls your home, or sends you junk mail is fishing for a fee. Chances are they only want your money, and once they get it they’ll offer very little in terms of services. Most reputable companies will wait for you to contact them.

    You can always double check a Debt Counseling Service with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the company. You might also consider asking family and friends if they have any experience with the service.
