Some of you might know already that poker has become a multi-billion dollar industry in just a few years following the win of "Chris Moneymaker", an average Joe who made millions of dollars winning a WSOP title aka World Series Of Poker.
He managed to make millions, but his profit is nothing compared to the profit that the poker sites, poker affiliates and the poker tools have made in the past few years.
Your opportunity to make money in poker has also increased, due to the high number of players literally donating their money. Now I know that many people are against gambling and if you are one of them, then you can surely skip this tip and look at other wonderful money making tips around the blog.
But for people who are good at reading people, odds, probability, poker is the right job for you. There are a lot of bonuses out there and sites are literally giving you free money to start playing poker.
One such site also advertises on my blog and offers free money, check it out before opening an account. Use some of these sites to improve and remember to play with fake money first to learn or you will go broke really fast.
* The best study source is videos. Basically you watch a professional play with his hole cards opened and you see what they and why they do it. Some free sources are:
- http://www.pokerstrategy.com/uBBSLB : Awesome training videos absolutely free.
- Flop Turn River Videos: A library of around 30 videos which are offered so that you will buy more, but still the free ones are very useful
* http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/830035 /playing_headsup_poker_basic_strategy.html?cat=61
The above link is my own creation on Associated Content, a website which I have reviewed as a scam, but this is the only article I have there and the last one.
* Get the following books
- Theory of Poker
- NL theory and practice
If you want to take your poker career further, I suggest you join card runners at cardrunners.com which is the most expensive and the best videos out there. They are only worth buying if you already have made it to low stakes from micro.
Good luck on your poker career!

How to save money in high school?
Search Tag: Saving
The earlier you start saving money, the better it is. Saving money in high school is easier to do than an adult because you don't have the burden of paying bills, or pay the mortgage. If you are an average teen then you should still be living with your parents, and be able to save a lot more easily.
Saving money in high school is also critical. You will have to pay student loans, book fees, tutor fees and for some even a new place to live. You will be going to College and all the money saved will help a lot to repay the student loans and to find a good place to live without a lot of work.
* Clothes: In high school these days everyone wants to wear branded clothes. You have to make friends and fit in by buying branded clothes. This is a huge problem for girls since they seem to be more fashion oriented. But what if all that money could be saved by simply buying only when you really need clothes?
* Stay away from sales when you don't need clothes. Even if the clothes are cheaper, there is no reason to buy them if you don't need them. As a high school student, clothes might be the most expensive item on your shopping list.
* Entertainment Discounts: Every once in a while you feel like watching a movie. Why not go on discount days? In my town every Tuesday the ticket is $5 less than usual. Find a good place to watch movie which offers discount rates on some days. On those days you can go and have fun for less money.
- There are no drawbacks to this. You watch the same movie, the same theatre just a different day. Those few dollars add up quickly. Lets say you watch one movie per month (Most of you watch more than that), but lets just say you saved $5 per month on movies, that would be $320 by the time you graduate. This is just for the movies; wait till all other savings add up.
* Lunches: You don't have to buy a combo everyday. Save on lunch food by simply buying less or making food at home. This will again save a lot of money by the time you graduate. Home lunches cost around $1 on average if prepared everyday, and cafeteria food costs around $5. That is 4 dollars of saving 5 days a week. That is a whooping $3840 saved on food in four years!
* Travelling Costs: Buy a bike or walk to school rather than taking the public transit everyday. A bike will cost $350 the first time you buy it, but in the long run you will save more by not taking the bus. Walking of course is the best option for most teens to save the most money. Let's do the math again. A bus ticket costs $1.50 each and you will be using two everyday. $15 every week and $780 every year which is already more than the cost of your bike or the "cost" of your walk.
* Trips: You don't have to waste over two grand on the international trip if you don't feel like going. It is a big decision to go to the international high school trips. If you want to save up, then your best bet is to not go on them. You can go on the smaller trips to have fun, and forget about the international ones.
* It is tough to not go to the trip of your life, so this tip is optional for anyone who can do it.
Here are your 5 tips to save when you are in high school. Although summer months have been included in the calculations for savings, you will still save around the same as stated.
Remember that saving in high school is easier to do, than to save later in life. So start now and good luck!

Disadvantages of Associated Content
I have written for Helium and Associated for the past 6 months. On Helium I have 84 articles, but on Associated Content I only have 2 articles. Why so much difference?
Associated Content does not offer competitions to earn $2-$3 per articles. In terms of payment, Associated Content pays $1.50 per thousand views. On this blog I have a click rate of 5% meaning that out of 1000 visitors, around 50 click the ads and are interested in my ads. The average pay per click is determined by a lot of factors, and some of them are quality of your site, traffic you get, etc.
But I manage to get around $0.30-0.45 per click, which adds upto $24 for 80 clicks. This payment is only for this blog, more valuable sites such as Associated Content could get upto $0.80 per click which means you make them $30-$35 and then they return $1.50 for this favour. As you can clearly see, this is a ridiculously high profit margin.
This is one of the biggest online scams I have ever seen, because it is a scam where you get scammed by getting paid the least amount. The amount of writers that get sucked in by these sites is in thousands including me as well for writing two articles which have earned me $0.80 after writing and editing them for a good one hour. Now you might be thinking that it is impossible for you to get 1,000 visitors to your own site, but even if you could get 100 people to visit your site, you would make more than what AC pays you.
Go ahead and look for writers on Associated Content with around 100-300 articles, most of them have total views of around 50k-75k which means they got paid $112.5 for writing 300 articles!
That is less than 50 cents per aricle, and a quality articles takes atleast half an hour to write. I am a writer who has written for both these sites, and in my opinion Helium is far superior to AC.
Now let's talk about the quality required. Generally speaking AC rejects a lot of articles if they don't suit their "advertisement targets", but Helium does not reject articles at all, no matter how poor the quality is. Often they will recommend you to submit another article, but never will they throw your work in the trash and reject it upfront.
AC's upfront payments attracts a lot of articles, but who is eligible for upfront payments? Only U.S. citizens who write tourist guides, travel guides, etc. Even the best writers on the site have earned only a couple thousand dollars for spending hundreds and hundreds of hours writing.
Helium is also not worth writing for if there were no reward-a-thons. But atleast in terms of quality their expectations are less, and also there are publishers who will pay upto $300 per article if they choose to publish your piece.
If anyone wants to argue against me, feel free to e-mail me at arjunwadhwa2003@yahoo.ca
Helium Marketplace can earn the top writers a full time job, but never can this be achieved on AC. Helium also lets you post your articles on your blog and if I ever write an aricle on making money at helium, I can simply put the same article here and earn money on two sites from the same piece of article. AC is strictly against this, they will ban your account if they find the article anywhere else, leaving you with $1.5/1000 or $2/1000 impressions if you reach a higher clout level. Imagine this in a physical world. Thousand people came to an exhibition to see your article for which you earned one and a half dollar.
If you want to really showcase your writing, the best place is your own website or become a full time writer for sites such as About.com which genuinely offer good payment. This article should save you atleast twenty hours of writing that you would've done at AC earning 10 cents per hour.
Be smart, be creative and be original. Do something for yourself and stop giving away 90% of your revenue to multi-million dollar sites and write only during competition times, because even Helium doesn't pay as much you deserve.
Don't lose confidence and keep promoting your work through a blog or a website and you will see more earnings than you see on AC accounts. Writers are worth a lot more than what they get paid.

Guide to making money at Helium
Helium's population has exploded in the past months. What is helium? It is not the gas we are talking about. Helium is a place where writers have an opportunity to write and make money.
One of the best things about helium is that you only have to be 13 years or older to join and it offers good pay. A lot of writers complain that they don't get enough money and earn only pennies everyday.
What many writers don't know is that Helium offers competitions known as reward-a-thons. During these competitions you can get $3 for every article you write. It can become like a job since most articles take 15 minutes to write if you are a fast typist.
This means that you will make $15/hour if you can get to that level. For writers who don't write much, they get paid $1-$2 each article which is still a commendable amount to earn.
But wait the earnings don't stop there. After you have received this payment your article will gain money as more people view it. For every view you get 1-3 cents. Which means over time the article will earn $1-5 more on top of the payments you already received.
I have written at helium and let me tell you that it is one of the safest and the easiest ways to make money from writing. Extremely good writers can even get $100 per piece if they choose to write for companies. Helium is a place you must visit if you want to improve your writing or just make some money.

How to make million dollars in 6 months?
I got an e-mail recently from someone who wanted to make million dollars in a couple of months.
Now of course million dollars in 6 months just sounds absurd, and I am sure all the people writing aren't millionaires, but I can provide you some solid information which if utilized properly will lead to the goal of a million dollars.
For becoming a millionaire in 6 months, you need to get lucky, because it is an unrealistic goal, and needs unrealistic ways to get there.
To earn million in 6 months use the following tips:
1. Make a website and use ads on them : Go to google and type in AdSense and if you are a new website maker do not forget to register for Adsense and use it on your website. This will make your website more popular and more revenue will be generated. Just place a google ad on your website and get paid for it! You make absolutely no ivestment except the investment on your website. (This gives you free money while you are sleeping!)
2. Sell on ebay and you might become a millionaire like this guy:
" Kyle MacDonald traded one red paperclip for a house. He started with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006 I traded with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan for a house located at 503 Main Street.
Website used: www.ebay.com
Full article: http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/2006/07/503-main -street.html
Source: www.TorontoStar.com
This is just one story of a guy who traded one paper clip with a goal of buying an independent house within year. Making 500k off a paper clip might seem rediculous and rare to happen. Making 20k to 50k isn't hard, riduculous or rare! Online is one the only places where you can make money without investing any and unfortunately it is also the place where people get scammed and buy too many appealing products.
If you have items to sell that you don't use(Most people have garbage items that means a lot to others). I suggest using ebay to sell your items. It isn't very hard to start selling items and doesn't take too much time. The thing about ebay.com is that you can walk away after posting your item. Unlike a shop where you stand for the whole day hoping to make a sale; on ebay you just post the item, post the price(Or bid) and leave.
Some popular items to sell/buy:
1. Cell phones
2. Games
3. 2nd hand appliances
4. Rare items(Old coins, stamps, collections)
If you haven't already noticed all items high in demand to buy and sell are the items that don't have much of a price range. Someone can bid upto a thousand dollars for a cell phone and some peoplepc games for less than $2! Rare items are definitely the profit makers. Some old $1 coins can be sold for over $100 a piece!
For money making monline ebay is certainly a must visit!
3.) Go to money contests: Any contests with a huge cash prize, just join them and do whatever it takes to win them. There are contests almost every day on the net, radio and local community. To make a million in short time you must join any opportunity giveing you money.
4.) Play poker: Poker involves skill as well. If you are good at reading people, and analytical type of person there are millions to be made from poker. I am not that good at poker, but I do know that people that are good are making millions of dollars. The poker industry is on a boom and now is the best time to play poker because of the number of online sites and they usually offer a bonus to sign up of $100-$1000! More money in less time.
5.) Buy lottery: To make a million in 6 month, you need some unrealistic ways because it is an unrealistic goal. Buy a $1 lottery which might turn into $100 million if you get extremely lucky.
Good luck on your short road to a million dollars!

Paid survey sites for Non-U.S. residents
Are you looking forward to some extra cash? If you are a serious survey taker then you can get hundreds of dollars per month in just a few hours! It doesn't matter if you are not a U.S. citizen because you are still a human that has personal opinions and thats all that matters. Here is a list of sites that accept all U.S. and non U.S. citizens from around the globe.
Many sites send spam or advertisments as a form of survey taking, but these sites have been tested by me and I regularly get surveys so I am sure that you will not get disappointed, and also I am not a U.S. citizen which is why this makes sense. You are not going to become a millionaire, but you can use it to voice your opinions and get couple extra bucks per month which slowly add up to thousands. The field of surveys is growin too which means that there are chances that in the future you will get more surveys than you get right now.
The Paid Online Surveys sites list (Non U.S. citizens)
1. CanadaSurveypanel.com
2. Surveyspot.com
3. ACOP.com
4. Globaltestmarket.com
5. Surveylion.com
6. Opinionoutpost.com
Register to these websites and fill out your profile completely to get the most surveys. Remember the key to success is honesty here. If you provide honest answers to all the questions you will get more surveys.
For example, some surveys are only for women and others for parents with physically disabled kids. Some websites have different profile sections like Automobile profile(Information about your automobile, insurance, car insurance, education profile(cost of your eucation, degrees, etc.). Complete all your profiles or they won't even bother sending you a survey. You must complete every single detail which may take a lot of time but in the end it is worth it. It takes time to fill your complete profile, but it does give benefit. Since the company will know a lot about you, they will know which surveys to send to you.
Lets say that you don't fill your insurance information, then you will not get an insurance related survey.

How to sell products through your website
Selling products through a website can be tough and provide low profit sometimes. It is more of a hassle than ad, but it would return in more profits once someone knows how to do it properly.
I have done some selling of products online, and also visit a lot of websites which offer products for sale. There are many things have been noticed by me and that I can offer advice on how to sell products.
Some tips that will help you sell products successfully through a website are:
1. Target Advertising- If you want to sell products then you need someone to advertise your site or products which can be done through Google Adwords and also through hundreds of other websites offering ways to advertise your website.
2. Promotion of website- Before starting to sell products you need to have enough people that visit your site to view your products. Many people create a website on a topic, get traffic and then start selling products. Which can be a good idea since you don't want to look like someone who just wants to business and get over it. Ways to increase traffic are:
- Signature Promotion- Join forums and put a link to your site in your signature.
- Linking- Tell someone else to put your link on their site and you put their link.
- Adwords- Using google as a source of traffic.
- Website Rank- Get it ranked higher on google by adding more useful content.
3. Affiliates: What better way to sell products than to get people to sell them for you keep half the profits? This is one of the best ways online to sell a a product. Find some websites that are related to the topic.
For example if you want to sell gym equipment, then find websites that talk about healthy eating, fitness etc, and then e-mail them to talk about a deal. Examples of deal include:
- Paying for their hosting of the site for putting your ads.
- Paying a fixed amount every month.
- Do back linking with them.(Stated above)
4. Content Relation: Content has to be related to th products being sold. The content also should provide lots of information not just about products but also about the topic. There are a lot of people out there only interested in selling products and in result they don't get permanent traffic, because people run away after being asked to pay for every single item they click on the website.
Keep your visitors happy, and don't make them feel like they are customers being sucked to buy a product.
I have done some selling of products online, and also visit a lot of websites which offer products for sale. There are many things have been noticed by me and that I can offer advice on how to sell products.
Some tips that will help you sell products successfully through a website are:
1. Target Advertising- If you want to sell products then you need someone to advertise your site or products which can be done through Google Adwords and also through hundreds of other websites offering ways to advertise your website.
2. Promotion of website- Before starting to sell products you need to have enough people that visit your site to view your products. Many people create a website on a topic, get traffic and then start selling products. Which can be a good idea since you don't want to look like someone who just wants to business and get over it. Ways to increase traffic are:
- Signature Promotion- Join forums and put a link to your site in your signature.
- Linking- Tell someone else to put your link on their site and you put their link.
- Adwords- Using google as a source of traffic.
- Website Rank- Get it ranked higher on google by adding more useful content.
3. Affiliates: What better way to sell products than to get people to sell them for you keep half the profits? This is one of the best ways online to sell a a product. Find some websites that are related to the topic.
For example if you want to sell gym equipment, then find websites that talk about healthy eating, fitness etc, and then e-mail them to talk about a deal. Examples of deal include:
- Paying for their hosting of the site for putting your ads.
- Paying a fixed amount every month.
- Do back linking with them.(Stated above)
4. Content Relation: Content has to be related to th products being sold. The content also should provide lots of information not just about products but also about the topic. There are a lot of people out there only interested in selling products and in result they don't get permanent traffic, because people run away after being asked to pay for every single item they click on the website.
Keep your visitors happy, and don't make them feel like they are customers being sucked to buy a product.
Painless ways to save money
Search Tag: Saving
Saving money can be a pain for some people, and that is why we get the title "painless ways of saving money". If you love being secure financially and like the feeling of having enough money in our bank account, then saving money won't be pain for you, and you are already on a way to being a debt-free human.
But for some people saving money means no shopping, no enjoyment, no pleasure, which means no fun in life. And we all live to work and have fun, so we must spend money right? That is right, and saving money doesn't mean having less fun or enjoying your life less.
We need to save money in order to have fun. Many of you are wondering what is meant by that? Saving a few dollars today, add up to thousands of dollars. It is not just a saying or a phrase, it actually makes a lot of sense.
Here is the maths behind saving (Don't worry I am only talking elementary school maths).
1.) Save $1 a day by making your own coffee. (It is fresh, hot, tasty and you can make it rightwhen you wake up, which means no hassle of waiting in a line buying coffee which is cold sometimes or has less/more sugar.
Now this dollar everyday of the year adds upto $365. You do this for 25 years of your life, and you have saved $9125, not a bad amount for having your own coffee, is it?
In most cases you can save upto $2-$3 on breakfast alone. Saving on food means having healthier food, eating at your own time and you will learn how to cook! You will have to work a bit harder than standing in a line and saying "one cheese burger". But look at the benefits. You will be able to save upto $10 everyday on average. Those fast food restaurant receipts add upto a lot.
2.) Choosing the right bank: Your savings need a place to grow or to stay parallel to the inflation rate. You need to find a bank that pays the highest interest on your savings and then put your money in that account. Also known as the "savings account". This will make you save money, and also grow that money even bigger.
3.) Saving on gas/school/work: Buy your children a bike to ride to school. Over time this will save more money than the cost of the bike.
I can personally relate to this example. My son's school was on a bus route, about 1.9 KM away. That is not very far, but it is hard to walk that distance every morning and evening. The bus fare was $2. There are around 280 days of school. So that adds upto $560. Most of his friends took the bus, but I bought

Making money without working
If you want to be a millionaire or a billionaire, then you cannot just work your way up there. You need to have a way to make money without working. But to get there you will need do a lot of work. There are still a lot of ways you can make money without working. Well not a lot but still within your reach and enough for you to make a selection atleast. I have used a numbering system and will give a score out of 10, as to how effective the tip is for making money without working.
Here are a few ways and evaluation of them as to why they are good ways to make money without working.
1.) Website: One time investment. Start a website on something you like, take a few weeks and work on it and then thats it! The rest will be taken care of. The ads will get clicks on them, and every morning you will just need to long in to your ad account to see how much money you made the previous day. Use programs like Adsense, Adbrite, or pay per month ads and you won't even need to update your website.
Rating: 6/10 (Hard work involved when starting)
2.) Stock Market: For people who are smart and can make the correct decisions, they need to get into the stock market. 30% of American Millionaires have gained their wealth through the stock market. All you need to do is have some money, and pick the right stocks which will grow in the long run. Right now is not really the best time to invest in stock market because a recession is slowly taking place, but there are still a lot of stocks that are going up and will continue rising.

* You only need to make an investment and not work. But you can also lose money so be careful!
Rating: 9/10 (Excellent choice for most people)
3.) Investing in someone else's business: If a friend or a neighbour needs some money to start a business, or needs a hand in business because of not enough money, then you can invest in their business and get a little share of the profit. You will again only need some money which could grow into a huge sum. Only do this with trusted people, because you don't want to lose your original investment! I have personally done this with some success, but after a few years the friend didn't need more help, but I still ended up with a decent profit.
Rating: 7.5/10 (Too many chances of being scammed)
4.) Lottery: No work at all, just pay $2 to the cashier and buy a lottery.
It can turn into $40 million dollars for no work at all! But there is a "little" drawback, which is that on average your odds of winning are also 1 in 40 million, so this is a good way of losing $2 every week but not making anything, unless of course you are that 1 in 40 million who wins.
Rating: 3/10 (Don't fall for it, lotteries are a scam, but still a way to make money without working).
5.) Foreign Exchange: Similar to stock market, but you will be investing in currencies rather than stocks. This could be as profitable as the stock market. You just invest in a currency which will grow the most according to you. You can make a selection between foreign exchange or stocks or invest in both according to preference.
Rating: 8/10 (Good choice, but be prepared to lose some money in the beginning)
6.) Rich spouse: Marry a rich person and let them share their wealth with you! No work at all involved, but you will need to be happy with your spouse, since you will have to spend the rest of your life with him/her.
Rating: 5/10 (Don't ruin other people's lives for your sake)
7.) Savings Account: Saving money isn't too much work. Save money and put in mutual funds or in a high interest paying savings account, and watch your money grow big!
Rating: 9/10 (Excellent Choice for most people)
Remember that most rich people did not work all that hard to get rich, except in a few cases. They were smart with their money, not hardworkers.
As in all cases, you will already need a good amount of money to make money without working, so start saving if you want to follow the tips!

Reasons to take surveys
Search Tag: Surveys
Paid surveys have taken over the online marketing and business community. It benefits the consumers and the producers. The survey takers can get a bit of extra cash and the producers can get lots of information on what products are cherished by the consumers. There are many reasons out there to get started and take your first survey.
Some of the reasons include:
1.) Personal Knowledge: Whether it is a jobs and careers survey or a favorite car survey, everyone gains knowledge from surveys about the latest things available in the market and places to go. For example when I took a clothing survey once and I got an option of a store called Boys and Girls club. I had never heard of that before and went to the store and liked the clothes there and ended up buying decent shirts for myself. Without the paid survey I would have never found out that a store like this ever existed. Personal knowledge is very useful in buying at the cheapest prices, knowing what's out there and there is nothing better than paid surveys that would give you knowledge while having fun.
2.) Making yourself count: In a world of over 6.1 billion and over 200 countries it is almost impossible for someone to change the way of life in this world. All paid surveys that you take are specified for a specific person. Usually the website sends surveys to no more than 50 people and only 20-30 end up taking the survey. If you are one of those 20 people then your opinions will mean a lot to the company you filling the survey for. Next time when you open a newspaper and find a new product being released you might have been the reason for it. Your opinions will make a difference in what will come in the future. Just like you vote for your favorite politician you vote for the products to be released and the products to be thrown away and never be produced again.
3.) Making money- What is a better job than filling out surveys, making your opinions count, changing the future and at the same time making money by doing that. Research has shown that over 80% of Americans have filled free forms, surveys in order to be entered into a draw. If people have time to fill out medical forms and free surveys for a chance to win then why not take a survey which gives 100% reward rather than a "chance" to win something. Most surveys would take only about ten minutes of your time and rewarding over $10. Why not make use of it? You can donate the money and help the poor, use it to pay gas bills, use it to buy lotteries and much more.
Your number one priority should not be making money in paid surveys because you are not going to become millionaires taking paid surveys and that is why it is important for you to enjoy the surveys rather than force yourself to take them to get the cash.
There you have it. Three reasons everyone should take a survey and with internet these days, the survey is just a click away. Go and find the survey waiting for you and get your cash reward and make your opinions count and change the world of business!

Online might be one of the only places where you don't have to invest a single penny or cent to make profit of thousands of dollars. This is due to the increase in the amount of people that visit the internet everyday. Now days all developed countries offer dial-up to hi-speed internet services. Now this trend has been followed by developing countries and most developing countries offer internet and lots of people get attracted.
One of the most visited sites includes google, and to create a successful business online it is almost inevitable that one needs a good search rank on google. High google rank= High traffic= Higher profit.
One of the ways to create a business online is to create a simple blog on blogger.com and put informative content on it and write about something you will never be bored of writing about, and never run of ideas. Blog will not make you millions or even thousands but it is something that gets rewarded a few hundred dollars for a little effort.

Blogger.com is created by Google and Google offers Google Adsense which is a free ad program and if someone clicks the ads you get paid. Its simple easy and free. It will bring a couple of bucks per day or week depending on how much traffic you get.
After you have adsense set up you need to create traffic and advertise your blog so more people can visit it and also exchange links to get a high google search rank. After you have done that things will be automatic. You will just need to update your blogs every few days and log in to google adsense to see how much money you made and how many people visited you blogs. Slowly as your blog gains more popularity you will gain more money. Make sure you don't put too many ads as this will make your blog look like click-ad-scam blog. As I said before you create blog if you like writing because some blogs don't reach even a few dollars.
Another way is to write on revenue sharing websites like Helium.com. What this will do is share half the money that websites earn with you if you write articles on their website. Again you will not be making millions but think of it has extra money for writing in your free time.

Fundamentals of making money(Offline)
Search Tag: Fundamentals of money
Two fundamental rules of making million dollars or good amount of cash is to:
Saving money aside in a bank account with high interest rate will make your money worth what it really is worth. Let me give you an example: The average rate of inflation is 3%. Which means if you have a thousand dollars next year they will be worth $970. But if you put the same amount of money in a savings account or bank account with high interest rate your money will grow to $1040, assuming the interest rate is 4%. This $1040 is only worth $1010 due to the inflation. Now you see that saving money and putting it into a bank makes sense.
Many people don't realize that they are losing money by not spending it and keeping it at home or in a piggy bank. Now of course I used only a $1000 example so most people could understand the concept of inflation and realize that any spare cash at home is losing its value without even being spent.
Investing money: Now of course you aren't going to make millions by putting it in bank then why not do something with a portion of your money? That is where the concept of investing comes in. 30% of millionaires in North America earned 26% of their wealth in stocks, mutual funds etc.
By not spending you are decreasing the value of your money. It is always better to either put it in a fixed deposit account or invest it.
Two fundamental rules of making million dollars or good amount of cash is to:
Saving money aside in a bank account with high interest rate will make your money worth what it really is worth. Let me give you an example: The average rate of inflation is 3%. Which means if you have a thousand dollars next year they will be worth $970. But if you put the same amount of money in a savings account or bank account with high interest rate your money will grow to $1040, assuming the interest rate is 4%. This $1040 is only worth $1010 due to the inflation. Now you see that saving money and putting it into a bank makes sense.

If not google adsense then what?
Some of you might have a banned adsense account, problems with making it work, or un satisfied from their service. There are a lot of alternatives out there now because there is a lot of profit in this business.
Advertising.com
Bidvertiser.com
Chitika.com
valueclickmedia.com
publisher.yahoo.com
All these websites are similar in some form to AdSense and although Adsense is the most recommended program people always look for more variety and something different or to target specific audience.

Advertising Other's products
Advertising someone else's products is almost same as putting Adsense on your websites or blogs. There is one difference however you get paid if someone buys that product through your website. You get paid lots to do it. Some websites offer upto 15% in comissions if you sell a product through your website.
It is very challenging to sell a product through your website unless you dedicate it to products. For example your website is all about games then you can manage to sell playstation, xbox consoles or games through your website.
You have to see what visitors to your site are looking for and what people generally buy online. People don't generally buy clothes online so don't waste your time advertising clothes, foods, etc.

Be safe from Scams!
Lets be honest! Why would someone let you copy exactly what they did so you can make money? Many money making progams out there can provide some useful tips and information but none help you step-by-step. You basically have to analyze their books and get something useful out of it.
I am going to provide some links which you should read before you decide to purchase the top internet secrets.
1. There are thousands of websites out there trying to sell their money making book, adsense books/videos and other internet marketing techniques. While most of them repeat as much as they can without really helping you get rich some can provide useful tips and tricks if you know what they are talking about....
Rich Jerk Review ( The top most sites giving a review on his products are Rich Jerk's sellers. If he makes millions every year he can also have multiple fake review sites. Here is a review from a person who has nothing to do with him and PLEASE READ IT IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TO BUY IT!
http://www.best-rated-home-based-business.com/rich-jerk.html
2. Some good articles on paid surveys scams ( If you don't want to get scammed I recommend the sites I listed in my Paid Surveys column as I have tried them and they don't sell anything)
http://www.hotscams.com/
3. Tips on protecting your credit cards.
http://www.cibc.com/ca/legal/credit-card-fraud.html
4. Internet Fraud Protection article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_fraud
Hope to find more soon! Yes there is money to be made online and there is lots of it to be made! But there are also lots of scams going online since there is so much money to be made!
Good luck and be safe!

Stock Markets/Investing
Stock markets are easier than ever to reach today through internet. Just like you publish a blog by clicking publish you can buy stocks worth thousands of dollars with just a click as well. Stock markets require research, experience, money to invest and the ability to play your money. Good investors are the one that don't feel scared investing an amount. Since the chance of a stock dropping to an absolute value of 0 is extremely rare, the stock market isn't too much of a gamble.
Generally long time investors make the most out of their money because of their foresight ability to see where the stocks go in future. $1 stock today can be worth $50 tomorrow. Just like the Microsoft share! About eight years ago people who invested $30,000 in Microsoft are millionaires today! No kidding. You don't have to invest $30,000. Start small with atleast a $1000 deposit on an online stock broker account and invest it all in no more than 2-3 stocks.
If you really don't know anything about buying stocks or anything about stockbroker, comissions, etc I have done the work for you! I have found a stock simulator which provides $100,000 USD(fake money!!!) to invest and you buy all stocks at the real price, real time, real comission fees only the money invested, earned or lost is virtual or in simple words fake. You can experiment with this stock simulator to see how much you gain or lose and also compare your accounts to other players. It is like a video game only more serious and challenging.
Don't blame me if you make a profit of a million dollars in the game! Any profit you make with the fake money is the profit you would have made with the real money so the stock simulator can make some people mad if they make profits. But look at it in a positive way. If you lose all your hundred thousand dollars you would be glad that it was fake money so if you start making profit I suggest you immediately open a real money account.
Stock simulator link: http://simulator.investopedia.com/
Broker firms( Real money accounts) (Comission on trades apply!)
For U.S. citizens:
www.sharebuilder.com
www.etrade.com
www.questrade.com
Canada:
www.questrade.com
www.tdwaterhouse.com
Other continents
www.etrade.com/your continent
The above links are only the websites I have heard about and tried two of them. I have played the stock simulator game in which I made 4k in my first month which told me that I can actually buy stocks! So I made a real money account on questrade.com (low fees) and www.tdwaterhouse.com (Lower fees than questrade.com if you buy 1000 or more shares)
I don't want to comment on stocks because I am not a professional and I don't want you to lose money on my advice. So research well, invest smart and be patient!

How much can I make?
This is one very frequently asked question. So how much can I make? There is only one answer to that question> Depends..... I will state some average money you can make by all methods I stated.
Surveys: $100-$400 once you register to the top sites amd have completed beginning profiles and surveys and visit your email once a day.)
AdSense: AdSense are one of the biggest source of revenue for blogs like mine and also for thousands of other people with free websites(Websites that don't sell products and have no subscription fees). With a high traffic website and AdSense you can make anywhere between $1800-20,000. The range is riduculous because it really depends on how well established your site is, what kind of traffic you are receiving. What age group you attract and the rank of your website on google.
Text link Ads: Depending on how much space you sell about $200-$300 fixed amount every month.
Ebay.com- You can make $100-$600 a month from trading part time. A full time seller and buyer can make $1000-$2500 a month. It also depends on what trades you get, how many hours you spend buyung/selling etc.
Well I did not really answer the question How much you can make? because there really isn't a answer. If you follow my blog guidelines and spend time you will definitely be making $1000 a month atleast.

I'll trade a red clip for a $half million house, good deal?
" Kyle MacDonald traded one red paperclip for a house. He started with one red paperclip on July 12 2005 and 14 trades later, on July 12, 2006 I traded with the Town of Kipling Saskatchewan for a house located at 503 Main Street.
Website used: www.ebay.com
Full article: http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/2006/07/503-main-street.html
Source: www.TorontoStar.com
This is just one story of a guy who traded one paper clip with a goal of buying an independent house within year. Making 500k off a paper clip might seem rediculous and rare to happen. Making 20k to 50k isn't hard, riduculous or rare! Online is one the only places where you can make money without investing any and unfortunately it is also the place where people get scammed and buy too many appealing products.
If you have items to sell that you don't use(Most people have garbage items that means a lot to others). I suggest using ebay to sell your items. It isn't very hard to start selling items and doesn't take too much time. The thing about ebay.com is that you can walk away after posting your item. Unlike a shop where you stand for the whole day hoping to make a sale; on ebay you just post the item, post the price(Or bid) and leave.
Some popular items to sell/buy:
1. Cell phones
2. Games
3. 2nd hand appliances
4. Rare items(Old coins, stamps, collections)
If you haven't already noticed all items high in demand to buy and sell are the items that don't have much of a price range. Someone can bid upto a thousand dollars for a cell phone and some people sell pc games for less than $2! Rare items are definitely the profit makers. Some old $1 coins can be sold for over $100 a piece!
For money making monline ebay is certainly a must visit!
Personally I haven't experienced much on ebay but I will start researching soon! I don't want to keep you waiting so try ebay.com today!
