3 Fast and Free Money Making Ideas

Hello Isyaias.

Shawna here with a great article.

Read on and enjoy!

When most of us decide that working for someone else stinks and we start our internet marketing career we do it with very little start up money. I started out that way and it is for those of you who are doing likewise that I have written this article.

If you want to get started working from home there two things that you absolutely must understand. First, free money making ideas are not free. Every cent that you earn on the internet will cost you something. While it may not be actual cash that you must spend rest assured there is still an investment. That investment is your time.

Second, free money making ideas are not free. Does that sound like you have heard it somewhere before? In this case they are not free because even though I am giving them to you for free you may have to have a bit of cash to fully implement them.

Ok with that out of the way let's get on with our free money making ideas.

1.) Blogging

I am ranking blogging as the top of the free money making ideas because it is probably the easiest thing in the world to do. All you have to do is go to one of the free blogging sites and set up a blog. Then add some revenue sources to it such as Google AdSense or affiliate products and you have your business started.

2.) Affiliate Marketing

Selling products for others is a great way to get started earning cash online. It is quite simple to do as well. Join one of the big affiliate networks like Clickbank, Paydotcom, or Commission Junction and sell products for commission.

3.) Freelance Work

The last of my free money making ideas is not only easy but fun. Put the talents that you have to use by doing freelance work. If you can write, program, code, transcribe, or perform a number of other skills you are in high demand online. All you have to do is join Elance, Rentacoder, or one of the other freelance sites and put your services up for hire.

Like I said earlier free money making ideas are not free. They require you to spend time and in some cases real money as well. I have given you 3 solid free money making ideas now it is up to you to put them into use.

To your success,

What I Believe About ... Entrepreneurs

Isyaias,

Some time ago my travels took me to the red soil of Nairobi, Kenya. A gracious schoolteacher named George ran a foster care program for AIDS orphans. He took me on a tour of his world.

How incredibly different it was from mine.

Someone had given George a Toyota station wagon, so we didn't have to walk. He drove me through twisting back-county roads of Kukoyu, dodging potholes the size of bathtubs and showing me how the other half lives.

We would pass bands of children walking along that road and women balancing jugs on their heads. I met all kinds of kids without moms and dads, mostly living with relatives and hopefully holding body and soul together.

I met one kid whose most recent home was a rock quarry.

We visited a wooden hut where a girl, maybe 9 years old, was playing in the dirt in her filthy pink dress. She was mentally handicapped and there was no one else around. George spoke kindly to her in her native language. He gave her something to eat. Eventually, we left.

As we drove away, I thought, "I'd never leave MY kid here. . ."

I met a 7 year old boy who was dying of AIDS for lack of a $1 bus ticket to get a free shot.

It was gut wrenching. All these people staring at me with that blank gaze of poverty and apathy. Paralyzed by a belief that there's nothing they can do to make their life better.

I asked George if he ever helped any of these people start businesses. "Yes!" he nodded excitedly. "I will show you some of our micro loan recipients."

George drives me to another village. We walk into a cobbler shop. A guy named Paul is fixing shoes. Paul had polio when he was a kid so he can't walk. His crutches are leaning against the wall behind him.

Paul does NOT have that blank hopeless stare. His eyes are clear. He's alert and he's aware. He's proud of what he does. His kids have uniforms, they attend school, they are well fed. He's a respected man in the community.

His legs might not work right, but he's not a cripple.


George explains to me that with a $50 business loan, Paul founded that cobbler shop and became an economic pillar of his community.

By American standards Paul is poor, but he's not living in poverty. Paul doesn't speak the same tongue as me yet when our eyes lock we both sense that we share a common language: The language of entrepreneurship. He's proud of what he's accomplished and he's not asking for handouts.

My friend, there is one and only one path out of poverty. It ain't UNICEF. Or the United Nations. It's not even jobs or technology.

It's entrepreneurship. It's brave people like Paul.

NOW:

Imagine for a moment that someone had taken Paul's $50 and sold him a sham "business opportunity." Big bag o' smoke. Hit & run. Ain't worth the paper it's printed on.


How much would that scam have cost Paul . . . really?

For one thing he'd be a cripple living in a rock quarry today. Begging on the side of the street. Not a successful entrepreneur. Not a guy with a house and a kitchen and 3 beautiful kids.

His 3 kids would be living with who-knows-who, or maybe no one. Paul's cobbler shop wouldn't be there in the middle of his village. People wouldn't be getting their shoes fixed. A certain school would be minus 3 students. A seamstress would have sold them three less school uniforms. The vendors who sell him soles and nails and leather would have one less account.

His kids might be stealing food instead of buying it.

Do you see how these little tiny hinges swing big doors?

That's why it really frosts my cookie when snake oil salesmen and film flam men sell bad business advice. They're teaching people s*** that don't work.

Doesn't matter whether it's Africa or America or Antarctica, it's still a crime. I hope them scammers end up living in a rock quarry. They sure don't deserve to be making megabucks, that's for sure.

I got fleeced real good for the first few years of my business career. You probably know that story and if you don't I won't bore you with it. But anyway, I'm one of those people who believes things happen for a reason. Maybe one of the reasons that happened to me was . . . so I'd know what it's like.

Cuz God forbid that I ever sell people big bags o' smoke. Or that you should ever spend your money one of those bags o' smoke.

I believe that when someone teaches how to fish, they should teach you with real boats and real fishing poles and real ponds. Not with a flight simulator. They should be able to prove what they do works. In real market conditions with real tools and real customers. Not shills.

Every time someone sells fake business advice, the world loses a few entrepreneurs. People who might have made it, but they couldn't recover from that one loss.

Who knows... what might have been?

Every time someone delivers *real* business advice, the world gains a few entrepreneurs. More "Pauls". More cobbler shops. More kids going to school. More food to go around. More for everyone.

I take my job - and your job - very seriously. What we both do matters. A lot.

If you have any kind of "real" business on the Internet; if you know that more clicks for less money, better sales conversion, improved follow up and a superior marketing strategy would put more money in your pocket; then I invite you to apply for this fall's personal AdWords coaching session.

Not all are accepted, but if we let you in, I back it with a hugely ballsy guarantee and a promise that if you put in the effort, you'll get the results. www.BobsledRun.com. Starts September 28.

Whether you live in Africa, Europe or America - whether you only learn, or if you teach as well - I hope you take your teaching, and your learning, very seriously. Because a very very important entrepreneur depends on the knowledge you apply:

YOU.

The 3 Keys to Internet Marketing Success

Hey Isyaias.

Shawna here. Hope you're Friday is going great!

Come on L-O-N-G weekend...

I've got a great article for you today.

Read it and enjoy!

Building a successful business is not difficult as
long as you are sure to use 3 keys to success in
your internet marketing plan.

Every internet marketer uses the 3 keys.

Some may use different tactics or methods to achieve
their goal but the 3 keys are still the same.

1.) Traffic Generation

Face it, without traffic there is no business and a
comprehensive strategy should be part of your internet
marketing plan.

There are a number of methods that can be used to
generate traffic including article marketing, ad
swaps, joint ventures, co-registration and pay per
click advertising just to name a few.

You should explore every advertising method that you
can think of in order to increase the flow of traffic
to your website.

2.) Build a Subscriber List

This should be considered a "no-brainer" but there are
people who put together their internet marketing plan
with this left off.

Affiliate marketing may not require that you build a
list but if you do not then you are missing the real
money on the internet.

3.) Convert Subscribers to Customers

If one of the most important keys in any internet
marketing plan is to build a subscriber list then
it should go without saying that you must use that
list to generate income.

Converting subscribers on your list to paying customers
is how money is made on the internet.

Sending messages to your list with useful content will
help you to build a relationship with the customer.

In time they will come to trust you and believe me that
trust will turn into sales.

When putting together an internet marketing plan is use
these three keys to become successful.

To your success,

3 Sure-Fire New Online Business Ideas That Work

Hello Isyaias.

Shawna here. Hope you're day is going well.

Here's a great article for you.

Enjoy!

A couple of decades back, it was considered
to be something difficult to make a living by
starting a new business.

A lot of people wanted to do that so badly to
supplement their income or to make a living to
survive.

It is a fact that just a couple of decades back,
there were not many opportunities for the people
who wanted to work from home or who wanted to
have their own business, as compared to the
number of opportunities which present themselves
to the people nowadays.

The best and least risky way of making money
through an online business would be to sell
your services.

Create a list of services that you can sell.

If for example, you are good at social networking,
you can find various jobs related to the same
field.

If on the other hand, you are a web designer,
you will find lots of work opportunities.

Create your portfolio carefully and be professional.

This will for sure help you in making some money
through your online business.

Sell a product. Create a new product with a well
defined niche market.

Once you have the product ready, promote it online.

You can sell it through affiliate marketing.

You can promote your product through sales pages or
through PRs.

There are so many ways of promoting your products.

Successful promotion will lead to many sales.

If you are expert on any subject, sell your ideas.

If you know a subject well and your resume is
strong enough for people to believe in your ideas,
sell your ideas and discussions about the subject.

This is one of the ways which you can use to make
money online through your own business.

Off course all three of these methods demand your
devotion and hard work.

Without your hard work you will never be able to
achieve any success.

To your success,
Shawna Boor
