Money-Earning Guidelines

By planning and participating in money-earning projects, girls build real-world skills that benefit their troop/group, council, and community—but most importantly, themselves. Here are some of the things girls can learn:

* Budgeting
* Goal-setting
* Customer relations
* Good business practices
* Public relations

To ensure that girls build their new skills safely, Girl Scouts of the USA and local Girl Scout councils have developed money-earning guidelines for girls and adults to follow. Safety-Wise, a GSUSA publication, outlines in detail everything troops, groups, and individuals need to know to begin a money-earning project. Following is a list of Do's and Don'ts to help you start thinking about future ventures:

Do

* Follow Safety-Wise standards and your council guidelines about money-earning.
* Make sure activities are age-appropriate and that they follow the goals and principles of Girl Scout program.
* Decide as a group how to use money earned by the group—individuals cannot earn money for their individual use.
* Make sure an adult is present at all times during money-earning activities outside the meeting place.
* Set up a group bank account that is overseen by a leader or a designated adult and follow council guidelines.
* Check with your council if you are an individual member and want to apply for financial assistance or sell Girl Scout Cookies® with a group.

Don't

* Participate in games of chance, direct solicitation for cash, or product endorsement.
* Raise money for another organization or cause (you can donate as a group from your treasury or give service)
* Do any money-earning project without approval from your council.
* Conduct any sales on the Internet.

Always check the policies in the Blue Book of Basic Documents 2000 and the Program Standards in Safety-Wise as well as council policies and standards while discussing potential projects.

Ideas for Group Money-Earning

Get creative! Money-earning shouldn't be drudgery—have fun building new skills and helping the troop or group. Here are some ideas to help you think about getting started:

* Sell Girl Scout Cookies®
* Provide childcare at a special event
* Make handmade cards for special occasions
* Pick up litter after sports events
* Have a themed car wash
* Do face-painting at a community event
* Wash neighborhood windows
* Hold a drive for returnable cans
* Walk pets

Look around you and see what needs could be filled or what interests your girls have. What will your next project be?

Investment Option

If you’re looking at investing in property or buying a second home, then Goa may still be your best option. Nature is doing for Goa, what IT did for Bangalore and Hyderabad - send land prices soaring!

This tiny coastal state, known to be the best remedy for one to distress, detox and recoup, has in recent years attracted a lot of investment for holiday homes by non-resident Goans (NRGs), NRIs and domestic buyers, mainly from north India. While the coastal belt with a good ’sea view’ is always in demand; people are also scouting for inner lands overlooking hills, rivers or valleys with proximity to the city.

Also, while land prices in the rest of the country are expected to fall due to a hike in home loan rates, it’s the opposite in Goa.

The value of money

This century has seen an enormous rise in prices that has impoverished the agricultural and working class. The daily ration of bread for a manual laborer on an estate was 1.7 kilos a day (which provided 89% of the calories in a peasant diet). In 1500, a skilled artisan made about 4 sou per day, which would buy 15 kg of bread - about 8 days’ worth. That same artisan in 1594 made 10-15 sou per day (less in winter), and could buy about 9 kg of bread - about 4 days’ worth. An unskilled urban worker made 5-7 sou per day (about two day's bread), and an unskilled female made 3-4 sou per day (a day's bread). Agricultural day laborers were even worse off, a man earning 7-8 sou per day and a "woman of all work" only 3 sou, no matter what the skill. Women’s wages suffered especially sharply. In 1500 she made at least half of what a man did, and in our time some women laborers got no more than a single sou for a day’s work. Keep in mind that day laborers, especially agricultural ones, only worked when the weather was good, and often had no work for one- to two-thirds of the year.

Contracted laborers on an estate made less cash in return for a percentage of the crop. In 1500 that percentage was usually a tenth – by the end of the century is was about 1/15th. A servant in the house of a rural estate earned around 100 sous a year, a woman around 60 (some things never change). Such a laborer lived with the family, and got food, shelter, and usually a pair of shoes and a shirt or apron along with the wages.

It is hard to get the price of a "loaf of bread", given that the weight of such a thing might vary, but the daily ration of 1.7 kg (3.75 lb) of bread would cost about 2s 6d. In 1500, the common person ate pure wheat bread ("white"). By our time, that bread is much "blacker" -- about one-third rye, even near the Mediterranean.

A bushel of salt could cost between 3 and 18 sous, depending on taxes (salt smuggling was major activity). A bottle of wine could cost between 1 and 3 sous (wine was not actually sold in bottles; you brought your own to the wineseller who drew it off from the cask for you).

Montaigne in his travel journel (c.1580) quotes a good Swiss inn as charging 4 livres a night for a gentleman in the off-season. He mentions that a horse there cost a reasonable 40-50 écus

Money

The French money system is made difficult to understand because there are two kinds of "money": "money of account," which is a kind of theoretical money which does not directly correspond to any coinage, and "money of exchange," which are the actual coins that change hands in the course of doing business.

The value of any particular coin (a concrete piece of metal) can always be expressed in terms of "money of account." The Sire de Gouberville in his journal (1550’s-60’s) mentions 32 different kinds of money, but he reduces most of his financial transactions to the three denominations used as "money of account": the denier, the sou (12 deniers make one sou), and the livre (20 sous make one livre). The ratio of 12:20:1 is a classical one that supposedly reflected the relatives values of copper:silver:gold. Anywhere the Romans went, there are traces of a money system that uses these proportions. (The English also used "money of account" where 12 pence = 1 shilling, 20 shillings = 1 pound sterling).

There are no actual coins for the money of account. Kings minted coins which could be assigned values in terms of money of account, and these values may fluctuate given such factors as inflation (a concept not well understood then).

A coin would usually be known by its picture or some other visual characteristic, not its monetary value. It did not have an actual value printed on it, as we commonly do. For example, if we applied this system to modern coinage, a modern dime might be called "a Roosevelt" and depending on the state of inflation or recession in the country might sometimes be worth 10 cents, sometimes 9, sometimes 12, etc.

The basic unit of coinage in France is the écu au soleil. It is the only gold coin that has been minted in France since 1484. Its value relative to the money of account has fluctuated throughout the century. Since 1574 it has remained stable at 3 livres to the écu, due to the monetary policies of Henri III.

The most common coins for daily transactions among the "menu peuple" are the blanc or dixaine, a 10 d coin, and the grand blanc or douzaine, a 12 d coin. They are made of a billon, copper/silver mix. There is also a silver teston, worth 10 s (120 d). The franc was a silver coin that used to be worth a livre, but none have been minted in our century. The term is still sometimes used to mean a livre.

There were lots of foreign coins in circulation as well and accounts were sometimes kept in them. Spanish coins are particularly popular in the west of France (i.e. where we are). I also imagine English coins would be popular here in Calais. Most of the foreign coins were high-value ones, worth much more than a livre.

Note that the multitude of coinages was further complicated during our time because there were at least three different kinds of mints operating in France. The Catholic League held most of the big cities and the old royal mints, and they made coins in the name of Charles X, their pretender to the throne (who had died in 1590 after 4 months, but was the only plausible candidate they had). Usually there was another town nearby making coins in the new royal mint for Henri IV. And there was a third group that wanted nothing to do with either party and was still making coins in the name of Henri III, who had died in 1589.

We use our own coinage in le Poulet Gauche, with values of a dernier and a sou. For an explanation of our use of money, see Rules of the House. Our coin dies are supplied to us by Claire Rutiser.

Make Online Guides and E-Books

Self-published books, e-books, mini-guides, tutorials and other types of premium content generate a respectable source of income for those with relevant and useful content to share. Focused guides and reference publications in niche areas are a growing demand from qualified customers, especially when these products can be easily pre-evaluated in some form.

For bloggers, news sites and small independent publishers' ebooks and online guides should make a natural monetization channel. Much of the content written for a site is easy to re-edit and re-purpose for commercial use. Reviewing editors, topic-specific bloggers can use their writing talent to put together the best content they have on a specific topic.

Selling ebooks requires good online marketing skills, lots of exposure, visibility and honest testimonials from satisfied buyers. A little army of affiliate resellers can go a long way in helping your ebook get extra exposure and visibility. Plus partnering/bundling your product with those who are already the best in your class helps get more copies out the door.

Tips to Make More Money

Some of our PEERs asked how they can make more money. So, we sat down and came up with a list of a handful of things that you can do!

1. Verify your preferences on the PEER user interface. To pay you for online time and work processed, the characteristics (country, zip code, Internet connection type) you indicate on the PEER preferences window must match the actual characteristics of your PC.

* For instance, if you select "Uzbekistan" as your country in the PEER preference window, but you live in the United States, your PC may not receive work. Thus, you earn less processing time payments.
* If you have a laptop, or your PC's location and Internet connection type changes frequently, please be sure to update your PEER preferences.
* Please follow these steps to verify your PEER preferences: Select "Options" from the menu on the PEER user interface and choose "Preferences".

2. Use the Referral Tools to get people to sign up with you as the referrer! Every time someone signs up with your username in the "Referrer" field and we activate them, you get a buck! Tell-A-Friend directly, or use the banner ads on the Referral Tools page.

* If you have a Web site, post Gomez banners.

3. Dial-up users, stay online! The Gomez PEER only earns you cash when you are connected to the Internet. Therefore, every time you decide to turn on your PC, get online!

* Many dial-up Internet service providers will automatically disconnect your PC from the Web when it it is inactive for a period of time. We have searched the Web and found some possible solutions to this problem. Check out the FAQ for the links to these sites!

4. Check your screen saver and energy saver settings. The Gomez PEER continues to run while your screen saver is on. However, if your energy saver is activated and shuts down your hard drives, the PEER will be unable to communicate with Gomez servers. To check your settings, please follow these steps:

* Click on "Start" button.
* Choose "Settings", then "Control Panel."
* Double-click the "Display" icon.
* The power settings are under the "Screen Saver" tab. Make sure the PC is not scheduled to shut down after a certain time.

5. Add more PCs to your PEER account. If you have any other idle PCs that you can use, register them and install the PEER.

6. Keep running the Gomez PEER and stay online! You can even run the Gomez PEER in the middle of the night. We process work 24x7, so the longer you are online, the more work you can process. Make sure you are wary of local telephone charges. Some carriers offer unlimited calls/minutes, while some do not. Make sure you check with the phone company to be aware of its policies.

7. Set your performance manager to "Max." The performance manager in the preferences window on the PEER user interface controls how much work your PC performs. If you want to earn more money, set it to "Max".

Establish Your Blog Brandly

The most important thing about having a blog is to establish your brand and let your readers get to know you. This applies mostly to blogs that are related to your business. As the author of the blog, you can tell your readers about yourself in the About page. Your readers will also come to know you through your style of writing and what you write about. If you have something meaningful to say, people will listen.

If you don’t already have a blog, it’s time to take the plunge and get started. Remember Nike’s popular slogan? Just do it. You can learn along the way as you build up your first blog. There is a lot of freely available information about all aspects of maintaining and marketing a blog.

In the beginning, you can take a look at some of the popular blogs in your niche and take note of what you like about them. Basically you are trying to capture the best elements of those blogs and try to incorporate them in yours.

Even if you are not a Pulitzer prize winning author, you can still get better at writing as you practice. Try to blog as regularly as possible. If you stop for long periods between your posts, you may start to lose your readership. You can even write your posts beforehand if you know that you are going to be away on vacation. Then you can set up automatic scheduling to post to the blog.

As your blog readership grows, you will hopefully get more people interacting with you through the comments. Definitely install Akismet to catch most of the comment spam. Try to answer all of the valid comments quickly and you will make your readers feel that you care. Another option to think about is building a forum as part of your blog. Again, due to the problem of spam, forums require moderation and if you don’t have time to do this, you’ll have to find some volunteers or pay for help.

Another way to build a community quickly is by holding a blog contest. You can offer attractive prizes (like lots of cash!) or ask other bloggers to donate prizes in exchange for something you have to offer. You could offer to review their blog in your blog and give them a backlink. You could offer them your own product in exchange. Those are just two quick ideas.

Folks like Darren Rowse (Problogger) and Shoemoney have built their brands largely due to the popularity of their blogs. You have to find your own unique angle to it. For Problogger, it was teaching people about blogging and making money from it. For Shoemoney, a lot of initial interest was generated by showing a huge affiliate check and talking about tremendous success with ringtones.

Don’t delay, start thinking about how you can establish yourself in a crowded marketplace. The sooner you start, the better.

20 Tips Making Money Online

Making money online and offline usually requires some strategic thinking and planning ahead. Investing is a field that provides several useful insights one can apply to the business of earning money from online websites and properties.

In finance terms, investment involves the purchasing of securities or assets in money markets with the hope of getting monetary returns through future cash flow.

When used in business management parlance, investment generally refers to the purchase of assets (technology, machinery, patents etc.) to develop positive income.

The basic principles here apply to each blogger, webmaster or online entrepreneur; To be successful, you need to invest and reinvest time and money on positive online assets and monitor costs/profits, while planning ahead.

Take a quick look at all your websites or online businesses to see if each of them are profitable. Are they bringing in more money than they cost in terms of time and expenses? What is their projected income?

If you’re primarily trying to earn a living online, there is no point in owning websites which do not make money. Consider cutting your losses and recovering your invested expenditures by selling or giving these sites to others.

Millionaire

That’s when Charles Dickens started working. Not just light work, mind you, like sweeping the floors at his uncle’s bar; he toiled at a shoe polish factory, spending 10 hours a day pasting labels on jars. His father was vain, holding extravagant parties and purchasing all sorts of finery, in every way possible living beyond his means. Eventually, he was thrown into debtor’s prison.

His mother was just cruel. Despite receiving some money from her husband’s family, she sent her children to work. Dickens never forgave her for it.

But did he whine? No, he transformed that experience into some of the greatest novels to ever grace the English language.

A Christmas Carol, The Adventures of Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and David Copperfield all address aspects of wealth, especially the relationship between the rich and the poor. You could say it’s the defining theme of Dickens’s work. And it made him rich.

Unlike so many other authors, Charles Dickens became a legend during his own lifetime. His books sold in droves, both in Britain and the US. They were turned into plays, and he traveled around the world doing readings and lectures.

He also left behind some of my favorite personal finance quotes. I’ve put together a small collection of them here, along with a brief commentary on each.

Create a high demand Newsmagazine

If you can provide in demand and industry leading information on a monthly, bi-monthly or weekly basis, you can sell subscriptions to a newsletter. Delivered via e-mail it costs nothing but time to produce. In the same way as information products you can focus your newsletter on just about any topic and find interested subscribers. Although its always best to concentrate on some area you have an interest yourself. So, say you sell your subscription for a measly $5 a month (just to make it easy here to do the math) and you have 500 subscribers that represents $2500 per month for a days work. Add to that the possibility of selling advertising space in your newsletter and promoting your affiliate programs and you have a very viable business. You will need a website to attract subscribers and the facility to take credit card subscriptions online. You should also offer automated delivery of the first newsletter when a subscriber has paid.

Conclusion These are exciting times to be working with the Internet, with this technology any individual or business has the potential to be an Internet pioneer. Any serious businessman cannot afford to ignore the possibilities. Now is the time for you to develop your online strategy. Before your competitor does.

Look at these statistics from a recent Forrester Research report: Online spending grew from 5.5 billion in 1998 to 32 billion in 2000! That's a staggering 580% increase! They also report that people newer to e-shopping are making nine purchases per year, while those who've been online for 5+ years are making 20 purchases a year. Aug 1 2003: The U.K.s 24/7 promotion last month boosted online sales in the U.K by 208% over the previous year. July 28 2003: Online retail sales in the U.S, grew 39% to $956 million for the week ending July 20 from $688 million in the corresponding week a year ago, comScore Networks Inc. reports. June 23 2003: Uk population online as reported by Computer Industry Almanac is 34.3 million from a population of 59.8 million. Mar 18 2003: Online travel sales in Western Europe increased 53 percent during 2002, according to the Center for Regional and Tourism Research. Mar 20 2003: Datamonitor predicts that over 41 million European households will be accessing the Internet via high-speed broadband connections by 2006. Beyond this, IDC (the leading global provider of technology forecasts and insights) reports that the number of Internet users around the world is expected to reach 943 million by 2005. The world population online according to two reports for 2002 - 580 million (Nielsen//NetRatings), 655 million (ITU). The Web is only going to increase in size and the number of people online worldwide will increase along with it. It isn't going away, for the wise business man the time is now.

Writing a good business plan

Your business plan needs to be very clear and explain your aims and how you are going to make your business successful. It should show that your idea is a good one and that it has the potential to work in practice. Your business plan should include:



COMPANY GOALS

This is a brief description of what you want to do, of how you plan to do it and who you will be targeting. You should also include your final aim - what does being successful mean in your business? Is it having lots of clients, expanding your market throughout India or providing the best service available?



DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

This is a much more detailed description of what your business does/will be doing, of how the company functions. Who does what in the company? What activities do you carry out and who is responsible for each activity?



SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED

This is a list or description of what you will be providing your clients or market with. Depending on how your company is organised, you may want to specify who will be providing which service here of in the 'description of your business'. In one of the two sections, or in a separate section you will need to give brief details of who will be working in your business.



STAFF

If your organisation is complex you can include a separate section to describe the people who are/will be working there and their skills and qualifications.



TARGET MARKET

Here you should give an analysis of your target market, that is the people or companies and organisations you are planning on providing your services to. Who are you targeting, and why will they be interested in your services? Who else is providing similar services in the place where you want to set up your business? Why is your service different to others? Why is your business needed?



MARKETING PLAN

This is an explanation of how you are going to present and sell your services. How are you going to make people aware of your business and make them want to buy your services or products? You need to give a list of practical solutions like advertising on specific websites or in specific newspapers, contacting other organisations and/ or companies that you think will be interested, producing a leaflet or organising promotional events.



CASH FLOWS OF SET UP COSTS

This is a spreadsheet (Excel for example) which gives the details of all the things you are going to need to set up your company (computers, a printer, chairs, rent security for the first month, air conditioning, shelves…). List the item, the quantity, the cost per item, the total cost, the amount the item is going to lose in value each year as a percentage (depreciation) and the actual amount in money that it will depreciate. At the end of your list of set up costs have totals for the total cost and the total depreciation. For example:

MONTHLY CASH FLOWS

You will need to have several sections. Your outgoing costs per month should include your overheads (telephone, rent, stationary...) and your employees (list with their salaries). Your incoming per month should be detailed (different prices of each product/ service and how many of each you plan to sell/ provide each month), this should also show how your income will increase over time. When you have both sections you can then calculate when your income is going to cover your costs.

Adsense Opportunity

The Internet is one-stop-shop offers a series of countless jobs or business opportunities to earn money through the Internet to travel and return too fantastic.

1001 Ideas Work From Home

If are you creative with some desktop publishing software and have insider information on the homes for sale in your area, you should consider starting a monthly homesellers magazine. For about 15 cents each, you can print the magazines on a web press and if you are able to distribute 3,000 or so a month you will easily find eager realtors looking to advertise in your magazine.

While your total cost would be $500 per month, realtors would pay $10 per ad to have their listings included in the magazine. With 20 realtors supplying you with 30 houses each, your gross revenue would be about $6,000 a month. If there currently is not a realty magazine in your area, you should definitely consider looking into this. Even if there are some realty magazines, see if you can offer something different to set you apart.

If you surf the Internet, you are probably familiar with ads by Google. Google itself estimates that its advertising network reaches 80 percent of internet users. The key to these ads (and other context relevant internet advertising) is that the ads displayed on a website are intended to be relevant to the content the user is viewing.

This relevance hopefully means that more people who see the ads will click on them. Advertisers only pay when a user clicks on an ad (thus, this form of advertising is often called pay-per-click advertising). There are two halves to this advertising equation - the website owners and the advertisers.

Website owners display these ads and earn fees each time their visitors click on an ad. You can earn up to a few dollars per click! Publishing these types of ads represents one way to work online and make money.

Another way to work online is through affiliate advertising. Many companies pay a percentage of revenue to web publishers who send visitors that buy products to their sites. You can earn a significant revenue this way!

In some cases, it is not even necessary for an individual to own his or her own website to make money from affiliate advertising. If you would like more information on using pay-per-click advertising to make money online, please look at our listings of some of the best guides to this type of work.

Position Yourself for Success in 2007

The coming year looks to be another period of cautious optimism, with U.S. economic growth expected to be slightly lower than in 2006 (i.e. about 3.2% in 2007 versus about 3.6% this year, according to most forecasters). That's the product of a mixed bag of good and bad trends. On the plus side is continuing robust gains in the productivity of the American worker coupled with surprisingly aggressive business investments. On the down side, we face rising interest rates, a slowing housing market, high oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty over the war on terror and the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The bottom line for job seekers? 2007 will be a year of calm waiting, with neither tantalizing opportunities to create a feverish gold-rush mentality like during the tech boom of the late 90s nor the panicked crash-mentality of the early 00s. Employers will use the time to evaluate their work force against opportunities they foresee developing down the road. Basically, that means weeding out those stick-in-the-muds who are likely to hold the company back while hiring and promoting those with the forward-looking skills and mindset that will be solid assets in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.

So while there won't be much downsizing, and even healthy hiring, employers will be grading each employee with an eye toward strengthening their organizations. In general that means more of what has been happening during the past decade — more overseas outsourcing of production and even some customer-service functions, more aggressive automation of administrative support functions to enhance productivity and responsiveness to the market, and tweaking the brand name and positioning through investment in the marketing side of the business.

I would like to make at least £1000 a day from the comfort of my easy chair by doing little or nothing at all. And I am sure such a prospect would tempt the best amongst us. Is it any wonder then, that 'get rich quick schemes' are flourishing on the internet? But think for a moment- if people could make ££££ and $$$$ just by warming their easy chairs would we have any doctors in the hospitals or cashiers in the supermarkets?



There are plenty of legitimate ways to make money online but it is important to understand that more unrealistic the claim of the advertiser, the higher the likelihood that you will end up being cheated. If, for example, you see a promise of making $125 an hour or £700 a day, you would be wise to take it with a pinch of salt. The only way you can make sure you come out a winner and really earn online, is to do thorough research.



I have been researching the methods of earning online for some time now and have been successful (but I am still some way off my first million!!) and based on my research and experience I have listed below some of my favourite methods. You can make good money by these methods but you certainly won’t become millionaires overnight. These schemes can provide a healthy second income or even become a primary source of money for your household depending on the time and effort you invest in them.



If you plan to act on any of these ideas please read them carefully and take particular notice of the tips, pitfalls and scams that I have listed, which might harm your interests while you try to earn online. Remember you cannot be careful enough. I protected my interests and you can protect yourselves too.

Home based ideas

Are you thinking about innovate ways to start a home based business? Perhaps you are in desperate need of home based business ideas. Anyone who is interested in earning a primary or secondary income from home will benefit from reviewing a number of unique home based business ideas. In doing so, great business ideas can be enacted and get you earning that cold hard cash fast!

When one decides they want to work from home, they may not necessarily know where to begin. Although the idea of being your own boss and controlling your own work schedule sounds enticing, few people have a good idea about what opportunities are really available-this is where home based business ideas come into play. When you take into consideration the myriad home based business ideas that are suitable for a work at home environment, suddenly the avenues of pursuit seem utterly limitless!

First, when scouring through all of the home based business ideas on the Internet, it is important for you to remember that you already possess your primary business tool: you! Whatever skills you already possess, whatever knowledge you have already attained can be used and turned into effective home based business ideas. For example, have you ever attended any college course? Have you earned a degree? Did you know that you can use what you have learned to teach others? That's right, take your knowledge and turn it into a home based business idea-become a tutor. Tutors can make phenomenal amounts of money and it is a job that can be undertaken either part time or fulltime and is a suitable home based business with anyone that possesses enough knowledge about any given subject to help others.

On the same token, if you have a hobby that you have been engaging in for years just for your own enjoyment, you can take your knowledge and skill and turn it into a fantastic home based business idea. For instance, if you are into arts and crafts, crocheting, drawing, painting, or whatever other hobby you may enjoy-you can start a part time class teaching others how to create the same things you do. Surely, an advantageous home based business idea lies in the very hobbies you adore-when you possess a love for your business, it increases your ability to succeed.

Alternatively, you can take the skills you have learned throughout your other employment experiences. A good example lies in the idea that a typist can easily become an at home transcriptions, a computer specialist can easily become an at home web designer or graphic artist, or a writer can expand their love of writing and move from writing fiction to writing nonfiction and becoming a work at home freelance writer. When you utilize the skills you have already mastered, there is no end to the wonderful home based business ideas you can enact.

Some people are just interested in creating a second income when they decide to create an at home business and there is nothing wrong with that decision. Individuals enjoy working full time for an employer and then making a little extra cash on the side as a source of mad money. Home based business ideas work equally well for individuals looking to get a little extra spending cash in their pockets and many home based businesses can be worked part time. For example, if you work a retail job during the day and you absolutely love selling things and helping customers, you can create a home based business that focuses on retailing merchandise of your choosing. Or, if you prefer, you can establish an online business with online auction sites like eBay and the like. Again, when you really put your mind to it, you will discover that you can pretty much do whatever you like in your spare time and make money at doing so!

Get Real Cash

Working from home is many peoples' dream. It was certainly mine, and I guess because you're reading this, it is also your dream.

Let me tell you that it is possible to find something that you can do to earn money working from the comfort of your own home. I work from home, and I earn a decent living following a few different avenues. I'll tell you what they are later, but they might not be suitable for you, as we're all different, and what excites me, may totally bore you.

Most ordinary people work in jobs they hate, for people of companies that don't really value them, and for a rate of pay that is only just average, if not less than average. These ordinary people like you and me desperately want to make changes. They want a better lifestyle, and they want better things for their children. They want the comfort, the nice house, the nice car, the nice clothes and foreign vacation each year. But life gets in the way, bills mount up, the stresses of daily life consumes them, and the dream remains a dream, never becoming a reality.
Some people search the Internet and the business sections of newspapers looking out for home working opportunities which promise fantastic weekly earnings, but sadly many of these turn out to be scams, or simply non starters. They wander from plan to plan, trying each for a few days, then moving on to the next. They expect overnight success. Well let me tell you that will not happen. It takes time to gain success, but you will get there if you really want it.

There is a major difference between just working from home, and getting rich working from home. You must ask yourself which of these you really want. If you truly want to run a modest home based business which will reward sufficiently to replace your normal job, then you must focus on that. If one the other hand, you are looking for a way to become rich working from home, then that is a totally different path that doesn't suit everyone. Sure we all like the idea of being rich, but it takes a certain mindset, and you have to acquire certain key skills, especially in the area of marketing. You can only really get rich by creating residual income. This basically means making money in your sleep, on the back of other peoples efforts. It's perfectly legal and is being done by thousands of people around the world. This is where my goals lie, and I am working on improving my skill set to fully achieve my targets in this area.

Money Make Online

Many people ask me, "How do I manage my living?" It is mainly because most of the time they find me sitting before my laptop and typing something. I try to explain them what I exactly do, however, not all the time it becomes so easy to explain, especially those who DO NOT want to come out from their traditional concept of their 'living' management.


But the opposite is also true. Although the trend of making money online is quite appealing to young generation, the mature people also reveal their true willingness. Many of them ask me "What are the different ways of money making online?" It is not like something I am an expert about, but well I am fascinated to excel every moment in this virtual world. Truly, my entire living is solely dependent on my online earning, nothing else.


When it comes to money making ideas online, many people love to talk about affiliate marketing. Honestly, I have very few ideas about it. In fact, I didn't try it much, although seen on different websites how successfully it runs. I somehow believe this is not for me. Or may be I haven't yet found my Affliate Marketing Guru.


Actually, my journey in this money making online was started with academic writing. Before that I didn't have much idea about it. By that time, I was desparate about earning money and believe me, I was always a risk-taker. I love to take risks. I was absolutely reluctant to adopt conventional mode of earning and all I wanted is something new to talk about my near and dear ones.


I got an offer from an individual after I applied for a job published in ww.online-writing-jobs.com. This is the brilliant site I have ever seen. Loads and loads of online writing jobs are available in this site. Too good to believe! This was the point from which my journey to the online money making initiated. Let me brief my experiences in the form of different online money making ideas. Here we go.

America's Top Growing and Disappearing Jobs

There are a couple groups for whom rising oil prices haven't been all bad: roustabouts and service unit operators in the oil and gas industry.

Roustabouts are the workers who assemble and repair oil and gas field equipment. They do other unskilled work around rigs like cleaning up spilled oil, moving pipes to and from trucks and guiding cranes that move loads around decks.

It's hard and dirty work, and in the labor hierarchy of oil rigs, roustabouts are a notch below roughnecks. But theirs is the fastest growing job category in our listing of America's 20 top growing and disappearing jobs.
Roustabouts' numbers have increased by almost a third, to 54,200 from 41,120 a year earlier, reflecting the boom in energy markets.

The number of service unit operators, who keep the oil flowing from wells and remove obstructions such as stuck pipes and casings, is up by a fifth, to 30,440 from 25,360 a year earlier, putting them at number three on our list behind aircraft assembly workers.

Our numbers are drawn from the U.S. government's National, State and Metropolitan Area Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates. The available reports use 2007 data and are based on a national survey of employers in all industry sectors regardless of size.

They examine 800 occupations. For our lists, we excluded those occupations where total employment was less than 25,000.

The survey covers full- and part-time workers who are paid a wage or salary. It does not include the self-employed, owners and partners in unincorporated firms, household workers and unpaid family workers.

Our list of expanding jobs in America is drawn from a swathe of industries. Some--like oil and gas, health care, logistics and media--are to be expected. Others--like locomotive engineers and aircraft assembly workers--were more surprising.
Most of the growing job opportunities are at the non-specialist, or unskilled, end of the field, though they run the full gamut of wage levels. Non-specialist physicians and surgeons earn an average $155,150 a year, while home health aides average $20,850 a year and had the largest absolute increase in numbers--up 83,100 to 834,580, a year-on-year increase of 11%.

The disappearing jobs are concentrated in the lower third of the pay range, though the field work was done before the onset of the credit crisis, so it precedes recent job losses in the housing and financial services industries.

The disappearing jobs list also reflects the continuing long-term decline of no- and low-skilled manufacturing jobs in the U.S.--sewing machine operators, engine assemblers, machine tool setters, home appliance repairers and textile knitting machine operators.

There are some surprises: Actors and tax examiners show up on the disappearing list, which is topped by entertainers who performed in places like amusement parks and arcades--or at least who used to.

Save Smart, Spend Smart

Almost everyone has probably heard of AdSense by now, if not then I am pretty sure you have seen AdSense and may have not even known what it was. To explain AdSense, I must first tell you a little about ' AdWords ', Adwords is a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising system that is available through Google the search engine. You create a small text ad, which is placed on Google's search result pages, the ads match your websites subject or content. You bid or set a fee that you are willing to pay Google every time someone clicks on your ad, this is a great way to get highly targeted traffic that can turn into sales, subscribers, or whatever you are trying to achieve with your website traffic. Now that I have explained Adwords, I can now tell you about AdSense. AdSense makes it possible for website owners to earn money by simply letting Google place ads on their web pages.

AdSense ads can be either text or images, the ads can be altered to blend into the webpages, so they don't make your site look junky or poorly designed. AdSense ads are highly relevant to the content of most webpages, for instance if you place AdSense ads on a webpage that sells Coins, you will get ads about selling coins or other coin related subjects. Every time a website visitor clicks on one of the AdSense ads on your webpage, you earn money, and every month after your first balance reaches one hundred dollars, Google will send you a check or you can have the money deposited into your checking account. The AdSense program is a great way to earn extra money if you have a website, it's easy to make a few dollars every day, and some folks are making thousands of dollars per month doing it. When I first started Adsense, I placed the ads on my webpages and it wasn't very long until I had made a small amount of money, a few days later my account balance had grown even more. I was pretty happy, but I thought to myself, after reading a lot of articles, I am not making nearly as much money as others are making with AdSense, something must be wrong. Then I thought, maybe my website doesn't get the traffic that the others are getting ? I chatted with a lot of people on the internet that were in the program, and I discovered that the amount of visitors I get, was higher than some of the traffic they receive. You may think that 200 - 400 unique visitors a day is low for website traffic, you are very wrong, the average website gets a lot less per day, especially if your website is only a few months old or is not optimized for the search engines, or it's subject matter has a very low search demand. If my website was getting a nice amount of traffic or visitors, why was my AdSense earnings so low ? The first thing that I discovered that was wrong was ' adsense ad placement ', that's right, you have to study each webpage's layout that you plan on placing the ads on. Wherever your webpage has sections or areas that grab and hold the visitors attention, this is a prime area to place a section of AdSense ads, in other words, place the ads on your webpages where folks will notice them.

We are currently allowed to place up to 3 different AdSense ad sections or groups on each webpage. I found after some testing that the best places for my ads are, just under the title or sub-title, near the middle of the page, and near the end or bottom of my page. If you place one section of AdSense ads near the top of your webpage, folks entering your site will probably notice the ads, and if they scroll down a ways and theres more ads, that increases the odds that they will notice them also. Probably the best place to place one section of ads is at the bottom of your webpages, right after your last bit of text or interesting reading, but make sure you place the ads before any other links, because when visitors are ready to leave your site, they may leave by clicking on one of your ads, earning you money, and if you have other links showing before your ads, they may leave your site by clicking on one of them. So after I studied the layout of all my webpages, I went back through and repositioned the AdSense ads, almost immediately I noticed my earnings increased. I left my webpages alone, and about three months later I received my first check in the mail, it wasn't a lot of money but still for really doing no physical work I was very glad to get it. My earnings slowly started getting better and better after that first check, the next month I received another check, then the following month I got another and so on. After having been in the AdSense program for about 8 months, and chatting with more folks who were also in the program I found that my earnings were still low compared to some other people.


I then discovered another method that increased my earnings even more. I noticed that my ads stood out from the rest of my webpages text and content. I had always thought, I should make my ads a different color than my webpages background so folks would notice my ads, and click on them, I was totally wrong. Almost everyone that has been on the internet for any length of time, has become so accustomed to seeing banners and other flashy ads that almost everyone now has what is called 'ad blindness', that is, when they visit a site they are automatically turned off or they ignore anything that looks like an ad. I used the Adsense editor and I changed my ads background and border colors so they matched the background color of my webpages, and I changed the text color of the ads so they matched the text color of my webpages content. The ads blended in very well, to me they were barely noticeable from the rest of my webpage, but right away the number of clicks on the ads increased, and the earnings went up even more.


I left my webpages alone and for another couple months my earnings stayed about the same, I was content with the results, but my earnings were still not as good as some of the other folks who received roughly the same amount of traffic that I did. Then I found out that they had done something else to their AdSense ads, something that made the ads seem to really get peoples attention, they were placing images near the ads, it seemed adding images made the ads look unique and it helped make the amount of clicks on them rise. So I searched the internet and I found some little icons and images that matched the content of my webpages, and near where the Adsense ads were shown, I displayed the images by adding a simple html image tag. I asked google if adding the images was within the AdSense rules, and I was advised that they were fine as long as they didn't make folks click on the ads, by this I mean, you cannot have a flashing sign that says, ' click these ads ', or you shouldn't have a scantily dressed girl pointing to the ads saying ' make me happy - click here ' or stuff like that, just make some nice little images that pertain to your webpages content.


The next couple months or so, my earnings still continued rising slowly. By this time, besides my regular webpages I had been working on several BLOG's pertaining to different subjects, so I thought I might as well place AdSense ads on all of my blogs also and make even more money. For a couple weeks my earnings went up quite a bit, and I was very happy, then all of a sudden, just like someone turning off a switch, my AdSense earnings plummeted. I was now making in a day, what I had made when I first joined the program, what the heck happened I thought to myself ? My traffic was still slowly rising, the number of clicks was rising, but for some strange reason, the earnings per click, (EPC) had dropped a lot, it was horrible. If you are thinking about trying AdSense, or if you are already in it, beware of the smart pricing curse, or if it has already effected your earnings, try removing AdSense ads from your webpages a few pages at a time, the smart-pricing system is evaluated each week, so it will take a few days to see if you have removed ads from the page(s) that triggered it. Then I learned that Google had introduced a new feature or system into the AdSense program, called 'smart pricing', 'smart pricing' automatically adjusts the cost of an ad click. Using Googles system of analyzing AdSense data, if it shows that a click from one of your webpages is less likely to turn into an online sale, or other business result for the Ad publisher, the amount you earn per click in AdSense is greatly reduced. When 'smart pricing', was introduced, some AdSense users saw their EPC drop to as low as 3 cents a click, where before 'smart pricing', that same click might of earned them a dollar or much more, this was quite a drastic drop in earnings. What is horrible about 'smart pricing', besides the earnings loss to AdSense users, is that one site or webpage can trigger it, and once triggered by that one webpage, it effects your entire account and every webpage you have will now earn substantially less per click. Remember awhile back when I had added AdSense Ads to my BLOG's, that seemed to be what had triggered smart pricing for me. The BLOG's were on numerous subjects, but they were not business or real professional sites, so hardly any business results such as sales, occurred from folks clicking the ads on these sites. After I removed the Adsense ads from the BLOG's, it took about a week, then I noticed that the EPC was once again climbing back up, yes the 'smart pricing', spell had been broken.

If you place one section of AdSense ads near the top of your webpage, folks entering your site will probably notice the ads, and if they scroll down a ways and theres more ads, that increases the odds that they will notice them also. Probably the best place to place one section of ads is at the bottom of your webpages, right after your last bit of text or interesting reading, but make sure you place the ads before any other links, because when visitors are ready to leave your site, they may leave by clicking on one of your ads, earning you money, and if you have other links showing before your ads, they may leave your site by clicking on one of them. So after I studied the layout of all my webpages, I went back through and repositioned the AdSense ads, almost immediately I noticed my earnings increased. I left my webpages alone, and about three months later I received my first check in the mail, it wasn't a lot of money but still for really doing no physical work I was very glad to get it. My earnings slowly started getting better and better after that first check, the next month I received another check, then the following month I got another and so on. After having been in the AdSense program for about 8 months, and chatting with more folks who were also in the program I found that my earnings were still low compared to some other people.


I then discovered another method that increased my earnings even more. I noticed that my ads stood out from the rest of my webpages text and content. I had always thought, I should make my ads a different color than my webpages background so folks would notice my ads, and click on them, I was totally wrong. Almost everyone that has been on the internet for any length of time, has become so accustomed to seeing banners and other flashy ads that almost everyone now has what is called 'ad blindness', that is, when they visit a site they are automatically turned off or they ignore anything that looks like an ad. I used the Adsense editor and I changed my ads background and border colors so they matched the background color of my webpages, and I changed the text color of the ads so they matched the text color of my webpages content. The ads blended in very well, to me they were barely noticeable from the rest of my webpage, but right away the number of clicks on the ads increased, and the earnings went up even more.


I left my webpages alone and for another couple months my earnings stayed about the same, I was content with the results, but my earnings were still not as good as some of the other folks who received roughly the same amount of traffic that I did. Then I found out that they had done something else to their AdSense ads, something that made the ads seem to really get peoples attention, they were placing images near the ads, it seemed adding images made the ads look unique and it helped make the amount of clicks on them rise. So I searched the internet and I found some little icons and images that matched the content of my webpages, and near where the Adsense ads were shown, I displayed the images by adding a simple html image tag. I asked google if adding the images was within the AdSense rules, and I was advised that they were fine as long as they didn't make folks click on the ads, by this I mean, you cannot have a flashing sign that says, ' click these ads ', or you shouldn't have a scantily dressed girl pointing to the ads saying ' make me happy - click here ' or stuff like that, just make some nice little images that pertain to your webpages content.


The next couple months or so, my earnings still continued rising slowly. By this time, besides my regular webpages I had been working on several BLOG's pertaining to different subjects, so I thought I might as well place AdSense ads on all of my blogs also and make even more money. For a couple weeks my earnings went up quite a bit, and I was very happy, then all of a sudden, just like someone turning off a switch, my AdSense earnings plummeted. I was now making in a day, what I had made when I first joined the program, what the heck happened I thought to myself ? My traffic was still slowly rising, the number of clicks was rising, but for some strange reason, the earnings per click, (EPC) had dropped a lot, it was horrible. If you are thinking about trying AdSense, or if you are already in it, beware of the smart pricing curse, or if it has already effected your earnings, try removing AdSense ads from your webpages a few pages at a time, the smart-pricing system is evaluated each week, so it will take a few days to see if you have removed ads from the page(s) that triggered it. Then I learned that Google had introduced a new feature or system into the AdSense program, called 'smart pricing', 'smart pricing' automatically adjusts the cost of an ad click. Using Googles system of analyzing AdSense data, if it shows that a click from one of your webpages is less likely to turn into an online sale, or other business result for the Ad publisher, the amount you earn per click in AdSense is greatly reduced. When 'smart pricing', was introduced, some AdSense users saw their EPC drop to as low as 3 cents a click, where before 'smart pricing', that same click might of earned them a dollar or much more, this was quite a drastic drop in earnings. What is horrible about 'smart pricing', besides the earnings loss to AdSense users, is that one site or webpage can trigger it, and once triggered by that one webpage, it effects your entire account and every webpage you have will now earn substantially less per click. Remember awhile back when I had added AdSense Ads to my BLOG's, that seemed to be what had triggered smart pricing for me. The BLOG's were on numerous subjects, but they were not business or real professional sites, so hardly any business results such as sales, occurred from folks clicking the ads on these sites. After I removed the Adsense ads from the BLOG's, it took about a week, then I noticed that the EPC was once again climbing back up, yes the 'smart pricing', spell had been broken.

How To Earn Money - Online Tips

I invite you to consider these most important questions. What will you be able to do with more money? How much is it worth to you to get bigger tips? Do you truly realize how much your success, relationships and income depend on your ability to persuade, motivate, and influence others? Think about it, when was the last time that you got more of what you really wanted? What happens when you don’t get it? Do you get frustrated? Do you feel regret or failure? Are you motivated to continue?

Are You Tired of…

* Not getting more of what you really want
* Getting stiffed by your customers
* Hearing your customers say “No”
* Working like a dog with hardly nothing to show for it
* Not having any money in your pockets

What is the average amount of money that you make in tips each week? Multiply that by 4, and then multiply that product by 12 to calculate the amount of money you make in tips over the course of one year. Now, it is quite easy to increase your tips by up to 25% or more using any of the 34 different methods divulged within the pages of Secrets of Persuasion and Influence for Bigger Tips. So, take your annual tip amount and multiply it by 25%, and then sit back to consider what you are going to do with all that extra money.

The prospect of what you can do with that money is exciting you, and I am excited to share that knowledge with you. Let us start by putting some real numbers into the mix so you can see and feel just how much money you can avoid losing. Mary, one of my earliest readers, worked as a server in a typical franchise restaurant 4 nights per week where she used to average $300 per week in tips.

$300 per week x 4 weeks/month = $1,200 per month

$1,200 per month x 12 months/year = $14,400 per year

The second week after applying some of the methods she learned her weekly average rose to $351, which is a 17% increase. After five weeks of applying the material, she was averaging $378 per week, which was a 26% increase above her average.

($300 x 26%) + $300 = $378 per week

$378 per week x 4 weeks/month = $1,512 per month

$1,512 per month x 12 months/year = $18,144 per year

$18,144 - $14,400 = $3,744 extra dollars

She took the extra $3,744 that she earned that first year and backpacked around Europe for 3 months.

What did she learn that was so revolutionary and groundbreaking? How did she use it to attract all that extra money? Moreover, how grateful was she to have learned it? How many extra dollars can you attract by increasing your tips by up to 25% or more?

Let’s start with the “What”.

Earn More than Man ( For Women)

A recent “New York Times” story focused on the problems some high-earning women are having in the dating arena. The men they have been going out with are, to some degree at least, having trouble with the fact that these women are now the breadwinners.

This is understandable. Women as the primary wage earners is a big shift. On average it is true that men working full-time still outearn women working full-time. But it is also true that since the 1970s almost all the income growth in this country has come from women. Today, 30 to 40 percent of women earn as much or more than their husbands. The younger a woman is, the likelier she is to outearn men her age. And research predicts that by the year 2030 the average woman will outearn the average man.

In 1981, 16 percent of women outearned their spouses. In 2000, it was 22 percent. Today, it's 30 to 40 percent.

And it's a problem. We like our traditional roles. Men and women are happier in marriages in which the husband earns more money. Men and women are happier in marriages in which the woman does more of the housework.

What happens in these situations? Unfortunately, too much of the time when women start outearning their spouses, they begin to compensate. They try to hide it by putting complete financial control in the husband's hands or earmarking the woman's income to pay the bills so that there's no money left to spend as she sees fit. Other times, the woman feels so guilty about outearning her partner that she takes on more and more of the housework. Rarely will either spouse admit that the woman is the breadwinner to their friends or family. And more of these families split up than average. Is there a solution?

Talk and listen to each other
Paychecks and housework aside, a new study from the University of Virginia shows that the factor that contributes most to a happy relationship is whether you and your spouse are engaged emotionally.

Be his biggest cheerleader
Make the effort to understand why your husband gets such a kick out of his career (even if he doesn't get as big a paycheck). Tell him you admire what he's doing. And if he's home with the kids, tell him how you believe it's helping the family as a unit. You have to believe deep down that what your partner is bringing to the relationship is just as valuable as what you are bringing. Otherwise it's destined to fail.

Open yours, mine and ours accounts
This allows you to pay for dinner out of the ours account without discussing whose money it is each time. You can do the same with family vacations, cars, groceries, things for the kids, etc. The separate accounts allow you to maintain a little financial independence — a chance not to ask permission about the things YOU want to buy.

Focus on the endgame
No matter who is earning the money, take the time to dream financially. Set short, medium and long-term goals — vacations, buying a house, etc.

Recognize that marriage changes things
Interestingly, researchers have seen a marked difference between the money habits of people who just live together and people who are married. When people are living together, they operate as two independent souls who just happen to reside under one roof. They both wash dishes. They both pay bills. Women feel little pressure to give up work that is meaningful to them. But when those people marry, they start carrying the cultural weight that comes along with being husbands or wives and behaviors change. Husbands hand over the social calendar (again, generally). Wives all too often cede financial control.

Earn Tips

Informational Interview

In informational interviews, you meet with people working in your fields of interest to ask questions about their particular occupations, qualification requirements, job duties, and companies. These interviews help you gain insights into your career interests from the people who do those jobs every day.
Job Shadowing

In a job shadow, you visit a business to observe the everyday functions of an occupational area of interest to you. Experiences vary in time from one hour to a full day depending on the amount of time employers can provide as well as your interest and school requirements. Job shadowing experiences offer you opportunities for career exploration and provide you with a realistic view of the day-to-day activities of specific jobs.
Service Learning

Service learning programs offer opportunities to be a concerned, informed, and productive citizen by providing community service in non-paid, volunteer positions. These volunteer programs increase the relevancy of your academic learning as you apply knowledge and skills while making a contribution to your local community.
Independent Study

Your school may allow you to earn academic credit for work experiences. In an independent study option you would work one-on-one with a teacher, or other educator, to develop your work project for credit. Work experience, coupled with written work, such as a journal or essay, is an excellent way to practice, demonstrate, and expand the skills you've learned in school.
Internship

An internship is an intensive learning experience that is not part of a regular class. You work in a supervised learning situation with an employer doing planned learning activities. An internship can give you a broad overview of an occupational field, while providing you with opportunities to experience work responsibilities and develop work skills. Some internships are paid; some are not paid.
Why Should I Participate in Work-Based Learning?

Work-based learning experiences, such as job shadows and internships, offer you opportunities to practice skills and to network with potential employers. However, for students with disabilities, work-based learning experiences offer additional benefits. They give you opportunities to determine if you can perform the essential functions of particular jobs and practice disclosing your disability and requesting accommodations from an employer. In addition, you can test which accommodations work best for you. You can develop self-advocacy skills through work-based learning. It's a great way to get off to a running start on your career path!

CAREERS

C is for Careers. Think about what interests you. Be imaginative, then narrow it down.

A is for Academics. Determine which academic programs best suit your career goals.

R is for Research. Research careers that spark your interests, maximize your strengths, and minimize your weaknesses.

EE is for Experiential Education. Practice job search skills. Apply for internships. Ask for informational interviews, and try other work-based learning opportunities.

RS is for Relevant Skills. Use on-the-job experience to learn practical "real world" skills. Apply what you've learned in school to the workplace. Test which accommodations work best for you.
