Why Do We Read and Follow Money Tips But Never Become Rich?

Like you, I read many articles about personal finance. More often than not, there will be tips embedded in these paragraphs that talk about how we can save and earn more money. The article will say something like “do this and you will become rich.” Some of this article may be from someone you trust; while others make so much sense that you ought to try them. Some of these articles are so persuasive that you might even dream about becoming rich after you read them.

So far so good, but what happens after a week? Half of the time, we forget about the tips all together; while the other half of the time, we either try the money tip and assume it doesn’t work because we didn’t see any results, or remind ourselves that we will never have time to try it.

Forgetting About the Money Tip All Together
Don’t worry; you are not alone since we are all like this. We are busy and don’t have time to debrief after reading personal articles. After all, most of us read personal finance because we want to kill time or take a break from work, not to become rich. If we read money topics because we wanted to become rich, we would have a pen and paper ready and take notes just in case the article contained useful information. Now that’s an idea. Why don’t we write down the tip so we can choose to try it later?

Trying the Money Tip for a Week and Then Assume It is Not for Us
Perhaps this is the writers’ fault because we do not always mention the consistency and dedication it takes to achieve financial wealth. We would write tips like “cook at home instead of eat out” and end the tip but we really should show you in the same article how much $5 every day will amount to if we have it fully invested (preferably in a low cost index fund btw).

We make excuses for ourselves, and complain all the time about why we are so unlucky. We complain about the personal finance guru not giving enough detail. We complain about our environment, and why it works for others but not him/her. What we really are complaining about is why no one does all the work and hands us free money. Who said becoming rich is about doing nothing? Read all the passive income blogs and you see that the setting it up is nothing but hard work. Picking dividend stocks that work requires brains. Running a blog requires tremendous dedication. It requires time and effort people, wake up.

Reminding Ourselves that We Will Never Have Time to Try It
We just told ourselves that we don’t have time to become rich. Keep working hard my friends; we don’t have time to live financially free. We read the tips, agree that it makes so much sense, then we sit there and flip on TV to watch other people make money while we spend money watching them.

Don’t procrastinate and make time! The biggest mistake is to wait and don’t do what we really want to do. If we want to run a blog, we should try it. If we want to try to start cooking at home, we should go ahead and start today. Just remember that just like everything else, we won’t have instant gratification and it will be 100 times tougher than we initially thought. Believe in ourselves, believe in our abilities to adapt and believe that everything will work out.

the SEOBook Keyword Tool

The KISS Guide To Writing Keyword Rich Articles

Freelance writers are often asked to write keyword rich web content articles. If you don’t know where to begin, here’s the ‘keep it simple’ guide to get you started.

Finding Keywords

In most cases, clients supply the keywords you need for an article. If they don’t, then your first step is to research some appropriate keywords for their topic. There are several tools you can use to do this. Some of my favorites are:

the SEOBook Keyword Tool

Keyword Discovery search tool

Google Adwords search tool

These free tools allow you to search for a term and see related keywords. For each term, the sites indicate the search volume. This tells you which keywords are popular and gives you a list of phrases and alternative phrases to use when writing articles.

Keyword Density

Once you have the keywords, then it’s time to start writing. Sometimes clients ask for a specific keyword density, such as 3%. Although this is not the best way to write keyword articles, if that’s what the client asks for, that’s what you have to provide. Two tools which work well for checking keyword density are Textalyser and Live Keyword Analysis. in both cases, you paste your text into a box, hit a button and find out your keyword density. (Alternatively, you can work out how many times you need to mention the keyword phrase to achieve your target density and find and count them manually in your word processing program.)

Seeding The Keywords

It’s much rarer now for writing clients to request a high keyword density. Using keywords 10-15 times in a short article can make it virtually unreadable, so most go for using keywords around five times. Whichever method you use, key positions for keyword placement are at the start (first words, first sentence or first paragraph) and end (last words, last sentence or last paragraph) of the article. Then the other keywords are sprinkled around in the middle.

Breaking It Up

One issue that writers sometimes face is having unwieldy keywords that don’t fit well within a sentence. Some clients are sticklers for using keywords as written, which can result in strange sentence constructions that lack the appropriate punctuation. (Example: When buying mortgages UK consumers need to be aware of interest rates.) However, others realise that search engines take little account of punctuation and stop words (short words such as ‘the’, ‘a’ and so on) and that it’s ok to use these to make a phrase more reader friendly. With this kind of client, it’s easy to produce engaging and informative articles that still meet the client’s brief.

You Will Be Shocked and Amazed When Two New York Times Mega Best-Selling Authors Reveal Their Revolutionary NEW and EXCITING Program For Generating Life-time Streams of Recurring Income.

Dear Friends,

Hello, this is Robert Allen and what I'm about to share with you is probably one of the most important messages you'll ever read. Trust me when I say that you'll want to take the time to read this entire message. What I'm sharing with you could be one of the most important life-changing and wealth creating opportunities that you've ever seen ...

An opportunity for you to work with me and my team of experts on one of the newest and most exciting programs I've ever been involved with!

As one of my students, you know that I'm pretty serious when it comes to teaching and coaching others on ways to create multiple streams of income and build a path to wealth. I've done this through my York Times best-selling books, my coaching programs and my hands on training systems. During much of that training I've told my students to "trust their intuition" and those "a ha" moments.

Recently, I had one of those flashes of insight and it has changed everything. Let me explain.

My first big intuitive hunch happened when I was 30. I quit my job to follow a hunch that I should write a book called "Nothing Down". I had no idea how to write a book, let alone how to get it published. Eighteen months later, after a series of almost miraculous encounters, Nothing Down hit the New York Times bestseller list where it remained for 46 weeks and became the all time best selling real estate book ... selling over a million hardcover editions! So ... as far as hunches go, this was a "biggie." In the past 25 years I can count the "biggies" I've had on the fingers of one hand ... and those have been rare gems of tremendous opportunity!

Fast forward to January 4th of 2007. I had another "biggie" hit me out of the blue. Actually, it was at about 3 AM on January the 5th.

You see ... the previous day, another best selling author, Richard Paul Evans sat in my home telling me about a business he was launching called BookWise. It's a unique book club membership with an interesting network marketing twist. He had invested two years and two million dollars of his own money to get ready to launch it. The launch was 3 weeks away and he felt impressed to invite me to be his business partner.

I will admit that I was flattered ... BUT ... Was TOTALLY uninterested since I knew it would be inconvenient, expensive and potentially risky to join with him.

I would have probably NOT have given his proposal a second thought if I hadn't known a little about him. Like me, he followed his hunches when at 30 years old he wrote a book that became the all-time best selling self-published fiction book in history called: "The Christmas Box". He followed that with 10 other books that have sold 13 million copies, four of which were made into major movies! Even with his proven track record and an intriguing concept for BookWise, I just kind of pushed off the idea and I figured that was the end of it.

But SOMETHING in the back of my mind kept "nagging" me. I couldn't get the concept out of my mind. I began wondering if fate HAD brought us together because there was a REASON that two best selling authors should get together in BookWise! Well, I can tell you that I simply could NOT sleep that night after our meeting. Richard had a business idea that, on the surface, was not spectacularly revolutionary. But, I kept thinking ... what if we added a few marketing twists and expanded the concept just a little bit ... It could change the world!

After that sleepless night, I met with Richard a few days later and I was even more intrigued AND more excited about the concept! After a lot of research and soul searching my intuition was screaming at me to move forward. The truth is that I love books and the power they have to transform the world. I love learning. I'm passionate about it. What if there was a way to combine the power of books with the transformation of personal growth? AND ... what if people could earn substantial amounts of money doing it?

As Victor Hugo said: "Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come!"

So I jumped into BookWise with both feet! I've never felt so calm or peaceful about a major decision. This one is a "biggie." And if you don't believe me, show me this letter in 3 years from now and we'll compare notes. I know this sounds trite, but if you pass this up now you may be kicking yourself in the future!

So ... Why am I writing YOU and how does this affect you?

It's quite simple. As entrepreneurs, we all know that the choicest rewards go to those wise enough to recognize an opportunity BEFORE it becomes apparent to the rest of the world. BookWise is one of those rare opportunities, and right now you a have the chance to be a part of this incredible opportunity!

Bottom line ... I'm looking for key people to become part of my BookWise family and work directly with me and my team of experts to change the lives of others and ourselves through the power of personal growth. It's one of the most simple ways to help transform the world AND build a residual stream of income in the process.

Are you one of these key people?
Are you looking to create a powerful, residual stream of income?
Are you a US citizen or own a US based business?

If you said YES then I want to speak with you!

I'm holding a very special teleconference on

Wednesday July 2nd, 2008

at 5 PM Pacific (6 PM Mountain, 7 PM Central, 8 PM Eastern Time.) where I'll be personally sharing more information about BookWise and if you choose, how you can become part of this very exiting, new program.

We only have room for 100 people on this call, so be sure to register NOW to secure your spot on the call and your potential position in our BookWise organization.

Let me be quite blunt with you. Some of the biggest and best marketing minds in the world are coming on board with us as BookWise team members! They see the power and the potential of this unique opportunity!

As someone once said ... "Fortune favors the prepared mind".

Are you ready? If you are then you definitely want to get on this special conference call to learn more about BookWise.

I look forward to hearing you on the call ... And even more, look forward to working with you as part of our BookWise family!

What to Sell on Ebay to Make Money

There are any numbers of ways to make a substantial income online. One excellent way to supplement your income is to find things to sell on ebay and parlay these items into extra cash. Although ebay has made several changes to its basic structure recently, anyone with an internet connection ans some ingenuity can still use the auction giant to make money online. Let's look at some of the ways that we can find items that we can turn around and sell on ebay.

First, a note about the new policies on ebay. Some people have taken recent changes at the auction site to mean that regular individuals can no longer prosper from online auctions the way that they used to. I simply do not believe this to be the case, however it is important that you establish certain goals if you want to truly succeed with ebay. It is now more important than ever that you become a power seller in order to maximize your profitability. Don't let this discourage you as you probably do want to be a power seller regardless of whether or not you realize it. Do you want to make money on ebay? Do you want to make substantial money on ebay? If you answered yes to both of these questions then you do want to be a power seller and you'll be able to become one in due time. So let's move on and look at how you can find the goods to sell on ebay for a profit.

If you are just starting out, you may think that you can use the items that are unused around the house as an inventory to get your ebay business of the ground. At first, yes, you are going to be able to sell these excess goods on ebay. However, you have to realize that at a certain point (and not too far off into the future) you are simply going to run out of these free items. The pipeline will run dry and you are going to have to generate a new source of products for your ebay business. The question becomes, once you have sold those items that you have laying around the house, then what do you sell? Excellent question and this article will address several ways to get products to resell on ebay. Remember, and I can not stress this point enough, the only difference between a power seller on ebay and a newbie is that the power seller has regular access to products at prices cheaper what they can get at auction. Once they have this regular access to these products they simply have to run their auctions and repeat the process.

But where do you find these products to sell on ebay?

1. At garage sales and yard sales. You would be surprised how often you can find, at rock bottom prices, a stable of products perfectly suited to resale at auction. Garage sales provide a source of products that are unique and often vintage. My recommendation is to find go to garagesalehunter.com and search for listings for garage sales in your area. You can check your local newspaper as well. Once you have found them, head out early and try to beat the crowds. You will develop a good eye for products that will sell on ebay and you can begin to anticipate what kind of prices certain items will fetch. Also, many neighborhoods have garage sales for the whole neighborhood so keep your eye out for these.

2. At storage units. Quite often individuals who have purchased space in a storage unit become delinquent with their payments or pass away. When this happens the storage unit will hold and auction and sell off the lot of goods that are being held in the unit. Usually these auctions are sight-unseen and you will have no idea what you are purchasing. Nevertheless these auctions are so inexpensive that you can get a whole supply of goods at near rock bottom prices. And you will be surprised as there will be times when you strike it rich when you purchase the contents of a storage unit. This is a great tip for individuals who like to take a chance.

3. Use ebay itself. Every day on ebay there are thousands of pallets of wholesale items auctioned off to people just like you. These wholesale lots can be divvied up and resold once you have taken control of them. I love this method as buying on ebay to turn around and resell on ebay really appeals to me. You can get lots of clothes, electronics, books, etc. Really anything you can think of and you do have to run around to doing the legwork. These wholesale auctions can give you access to tons of goods at below wholesale prices. Then all you have to do is invest the time, energy, and/or money in dividing the lot into smaller or individual units and reselling them on ebay. This is a time honored technique.

Those are three powerful methods to find great products at great prices to sell on ebay. Of course there are other methods as well, but I find that these are three tips that can build the foundation of a solid ebay business. And remember, as I have said, the only difference between a power seller and a newbie is that the power seller simply has the resources to repeat small, profitable auctions over and over again. Remember this and join those power sellers in the circle of profitability.

Site Flip Millionaires � Discover Their Million Dollars Strategies Here

Site flip millionaires are making millions of dollars annually flipping websites. Though their strategies are simple, not many internet entrepreneurs take them seriously. This article explains the basics of selling websites for profits on the internet.

Register a Searchable Domain Name or Grab Expired Name

Assuming you have carefully selected a familiar niche market of your choice, the next thing to do is to register a searchable domain name or grab an expired domain with traffic and back links.

As you know, search engines use keywords and keyword phrases to retrieve information from their database when surfers make queries. The only easy way to make your website relevant in the SERP (search engine ranking position) results pages is to include the appropriate keywords surfers are searching for in your registered domain name.

For example, assume my website offers tips on "how to register domain names." Assume too that the search term was searched XX, XXX number of times last month.

As a site flip entrepreneur, the smart strategy is to try and register exactly the domain name, Howtoregisterdomainnames.com or Registerdomainnames.com. What I have succeeded in doing is ensuring that my website comes up in the first 20 positions of the major search engines when surfers query the search term.

I have by this simple method, optimized my website by registering keyword rich search term. The benefit is getting high value targeted organic (read: free) traffic. What this means is that any time surfers type in "how to register domain names" the search engines recognize my website as the best candidate for their results.

Registering keyword rich search term as a domain name can facilitate the indexing of your website in a matter of days. This way you are able to increase your sales and traffic within 30 days period.

Build at least 10 websites with valuable content every month for the next 12 months. That will translate to 120 websites in a year. Because your websites are search terms domains with natural traffic, it will be easy to sell them for at least $8,334 each. In a year you are a site flip millionaire. You will sell any of the websites higher than $8,334 if your average monthly net profit exceeds $695 for each of the websites.

You can make millions of dollars from site flip.

Benefits of Cheap Web Design

t is becoming more and more obvious to businesses that the best way to reach their target market is through the internet. Gone are the days when a business owner can successfully trade without his or her own website. Being "online" means businesses can reach more people in less time than any other marketing mediums.

A lot of people assume that they need to spend thousands of dollars to get a website that will be good enough for their online home. However in this article we will show you how cheap web design can be both appropriate and effective to get you started.

One way to get your website designed at a low cost is to do it yourself, or get a friend or family member to design it for you. However despite the initial savings, this approach may well end up costing your business a lot more down the track! Doing it yourself means you waste precious time that could be spent working on your business, building relationships and doing actual work. Plus if you don't have a high degree of web design knowledge, you will end up with a website that looks amateurish and unprofessional.

Getting a friend or family member to design your site seems good on the surface. But again, they may be lacking skills and even if they are competent in the area, the fact they are doing it "cheap" means they will not be giving it as much commitment as someone who you are paying a proper rate to.

So how can you get cheap web design that is ideal for your business? The answer is to shop around and find the right web design firm. Big agencies are good to avoid because they have overhead costs such as rent, office supplies and ongoing wages. Finding a self-employed web designer who runs their own small business can be the best way to get a quality website designed at a low price. They usually work from home and have minimal overhead costs and usually are willing to reduce their fees in order to attract clients.

Some web site designers also offer professional templates that are already established. This allows them to develop the site faster and easier, thus passing the savings on to you. Make sure you look at the types of templates each web design firm offers, to ensure you will be happy with the final product.

Web design does not have to be expensive, but the way to save money is to shop smart. Finding a professional designer working for themselves or in a small firm, and using attractive professional templates can be an effective way to get your website online at the right price.

$$GET RICH FAST!! MAKE $6,000 IN TWO WEEKS$$$$$$$$ From: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$JOE$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Category: College Date: 3/12/02 Time: 11:27:24 PM Remote Name: 64.90.129.103

Comments How to turn $30 into $78,125 in 6 Weeks! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! SO, JUST DO IT! This really works!

Hello, I'm like a lot of others out there who have financial woes and I decided to try something new. If it works for me then I will be able to get myself out of a very difficult financial situation. Please read and see what results another got, it's pretty exciting! It REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER FOR IT TO WORK!!!!

I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $30.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $5.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) Just an example, you log on any search engine like yahoo.com,google.com,altavista.com,excite.com then you search with this subject ‘millionaire message board’ or ‘money making message board’ or ‘employment message board’ or ‘money making discussions’ or ‘money making forum’ or ‘business message board’ etc. You will find thousand & thousand message board. No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $30.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $30.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $250.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $5,000.00! In the third week I had over $15,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $62,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $30.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the you know what!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!

Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!

It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $30.00 (Plus postage)

IMPORTANT: This is not a - ; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!!

If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends.

PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions.

You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list.

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $5.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $5.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1) Dave R. P.O. Box 5481 S. Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

#2) Kimberly R. P.O. Box 7048 Stateline, NV 89449

#3) Maria O. 1275 Angorta Lake Rd. S. Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

#4) Dan R. 995 E. Patriot Blvd #69 Reno, NV 89511

#5) Kenny D. 1122 Vicksburg Dr. Garland, TX 75041

#6) Reggie W. 231 Dunhill Dr. Durham, NC 27713

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!

This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.

PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.

Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $5.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1) Dave R. P.O. Box 5481 S. Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

#2) Kimberly R. P.O. Box 7048 Stateline, NV 89449

#3) Maria O. 1275 Angorta Lake Rd. S. Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

#4) Dan R. 995 E. Patriot Blvd #69 Reno, NV 89511

#5) Kenny D. 1122 Vicksburg Dr. Garland, TX 75041

#6) Reggie W. 231 Dunhill Dr. Durham, NC 27713

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!

This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.

PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.

WikiAnswers - How can you get rich easy

How To Easily Get Rich

How to Easily Get Rich

To easily get rich is the major goal of probably billions of people on our planet.

People used to have more realism in their daily lives and their aspirations for the future, based on books, communities, their own observations, schools, churches, and periodicals.

Today, with fantasy being churned out non-stop on TV, with get-rich-quickly schemes making the writers of these books or the makers of these youtube how-tos rich, realistic goals are being shoved to the wayside in favor of self-delusion.

That's the factual answer.

Beyond that, there are three ways to get rich quickly that are legal : marry it, luck into something like inventing something unique and selling it, or doing it the old-fashioned way - working for it, saving it, and hoping life will be kind and not throw many tragedies your way.

The third way is, of course, slow - but sure.

Dreaming of marrying rich has led stampedes of people to internet dating sites, all hoping to land a big one.

While the economy falters and lives bend under the weight of uncertainty, as in the Great Depression, fantasy grows in the public mind.

As an escape route, the dream of quick wealth has no equal.

Write a book on this subject and you might not get rich quickly, but you might carve out a good living while you're hoping you'll land that big one on a book tour.

It is the only sound wealthizing system based on spiritual principles that really answers all the right questions for everyone.

Read that, then begin to bless your life, count your blessings, and in the ways of the sages, understand that whatever you truly want you already have.

You merely need to turn and recognize it.

The Tips you will find in this article are taken from the book the Zurich Axioms which is one of the best books ever written on how to make money and make money fast.

The book does not conform to conventional investment wisdom, but that’s no bad thing as people who follow the norm don’t get rich.

The people who followed these Axioms did and you can to, so let’s look at some of them.

The book is about betting to win. While that may sound fairly conventional there is a twist and that is:

Everybody wants to win but not everyone wants to bet and therein lies the difference – the book is about having courage and not following the norm.

The book is for any type of speculation while read mostly by financial traders it applies to ANY Business

Let’s look at some of the unconventional wisdom the book gives us and how it can make you make money fast.

1. Risk

If you want to make money you have to take a risk and most people want the money and not the risk. Well if that’s you, then you won’t make money fast.

Most people avoid risk but without risk there can be no big rewards.

If you don’t want to risk anything then making money is not for you, but for those of you who enjoy life and see it as an adventure, then you will embrace risk as part of life’s big adventure.

We all take risks everyday, crossing the road is a risk, but you are confident that you will get to the other side without getting run over. Remember life is a risk.

The book does not say take risks for the sake of it, but only take calculated risks that can yield huge rewards.

2. Risk Meaningful Amounts

You often hear people say you should only risk what you can afford to lose. In that case you want risk much and therefore won’t gain much or make money fast.

You need to risk a lot regardless of the venture you intend to invest in.

If you don’t you won’t get rich.

3. Decide what you want in advance and get out

We live in an ever changing world and when there is an opportunity to make money people will flood in and get on the bandwagon and the profit disappears.

Think back to all those dot.com companies worth a fortune in the 90s. Well they soon crashed and this happens all the time.

Even if your business looks good have a point where you sell and move onto something else there is always an opportunity and you will have a profit – What could be better than that?

4. Disregard the majority’s opinion its probably wrong

Don’t worry if you stand alone in your view that could be a good thing. The majority are mostly wrong as we saw in the 90s with the .com bubble.

You need to pick opportunities others don’t see - That’s the real way to make money fast and when they do see them its time to get out fast as well!

5. Beware of long term plans

None of us know the future so why make long term plans? You will see people plan their lives 20 years ahead but in an uncertain world only the reality as you see it counts.

Above are just a few of the axioms and as you can see they are relevant to anyone wanting to make money fast there are many more,, these are just a few of my personal favorites.

In the other parts of this series we will look at how to put some of the above into practice and make money but for now we will just say one thing, as one reviewer said after reading the book.

“If you have got the price of this book stake it”

It maybe the best investment you ever made to make money fast – Good luck.

Richard Edelman - 6 A.M.: One Step Into The Blogosphere

One Step Into The Blogosphere

We have released the Edelman Technorati study on the blogosphere in the US, UK, France, Germany and Italy. We are simultaneously releasing a study by Edelman's Strategy One research unit on consumer usage of blogs in the US, UK and France plus a review of mainstream media in the same three countries that demonstrates the increasing power of blogs as a source of credible information.

We are attempting to persuade the business community that it must recognize a new axis of communications, the horizontal peer to peer conversation. This must complement the traditional vertical model, which is premised on one way, top down, controlled messages, a world of elites and mass audience that depends on a pyramid of authority. The new horizontal axis relies on consumer co-creation, ideas from the bottom up, community sharing to constantly improve content, and democratization of media. The smart company will listen first, then speak, and listen again. It will speak from inside out, informing its employees, its consumers and yes, even its critics from non-governmental organizations before it speaks to investors, regulators and elite media. It recognizes the simple truth that in a world lacking trust in established institutions such as business, government and media, the most trusted source for information is a person like you.

We worked with Technorati to compile the list of the 100 most influential blogs in the US, France, Germany and Italy, based on number of inbound links. We also manually compiled a list of the 50 most influential bloggers in the UK (promise to get this to 100). In this first study, we've begun with the Top 100 because there are lessons to learn from them. They're not all a company needs to know about the blogosphere, they are just a start. After all, they're the top blogs because so many lateral conversations are sparked by what they say. This list omits any mainstream media blogs. We were able to classify these blogs as to area of interest (technology/politics/cooking), how often they post, the extent to which they cover business and specific corporations. Our most important finding is that bloggers generally do cover business and specific product categories but they generally do not report on nor quote representatives from specific companies. We also discovered that bloggers in the US and France tend to link to each other, while in Germany and Italy the bloggers tend to link to mainstream media. We learned that the top subject areas in the US are technology and politics, while in France, the UK, Italy and Germany there are more political personal blogs.

A report by our research unit, StrategyOne, indicates that 25% of people in the US, UK and France read blogs in an average week. These individuals tend to be younger and male. In each of the nations, about 30% of those reading a blog take action afterwards, most notably signing a petition, attending a public meeting or writing or calling a public official. We confirmed that there is a significant increase in the number of articles in top-tier political media in US that mention blogs. In the second quarter of 2006, there were at least 766 mentions of popular political blog sites by nine mainstream publications (The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Hill, Roll Call, National Journal, CQ Weekly, CQ Today, CQ HealthBeat and CQ Homeland Security ). There were about 100 mentions in the same period just two years earlier.

There are significant limitations to the studies. Most important of all, let's recognize that in selecting the top 100 blogs in each market, we might be giving the false impression that the blogosphere is to be categorized in the same way as the world of mainstream media, where ratings are the Holy Grail. For the record, Edelman does not recommend that companies simply identify and establish relationships with the "A-List" bloggers. We are not transposing to the blogosphere the traditional model of PR which calls for influencing the media elite, whose interpretation will then cascade to the mass media. We are not reliant on the economics of mass communications that relies on Cost Per Thousand (CPM) as a means of guaranteeing a cost effective outreach to a mass audience. Instead we posit that there is a new force at work, quantum influence, where information moving laterally gains momentum from thousands of individuals, each adding small bits of knowledge, whose aggregate power exceeds that of any institution and whose knowledge is greater than any expert.

The blogosphere poses a fundamentally different communications proposition for the corporation. There are hundreds of micro-niches, each with its own experts, who earn their position as leaders of the pack by demonstrating passion, expertise and a willingness to learn from the community. There is not a necessary correlation between Technorati ranking and influence in a specific category. In fact, Peter Hirshberg of Technorati reported today in London that since the first of the year, bloggers are increasingly linking to the "long tail" instead of the A-List "short head" of the blogosphere, a reinforcement of author Chris Anderson's prediction in his recent book The Long Tail: Why The Future of Business is Selling More. Best practice in corporate public relations is to accord each blogger respect and access to information.

What's next for us on the research front? We will release in early November a comparable study with Technorati on the blogosphere in China, Japan and Korea. We will also follow up with the top 100 bloggers in the US, UK, France, Germany and Italy to determine their satisfaction with information received from companies and PR firms. As part of our annual Edelman Trust Barometer, to be expanded this year to 18 countries, we will ask specific questions about word-of-mouth and the identity of the person like you. In short, you have our commitment to try to understand this new horizontal axis of communications and to share our findings immediately with the community.

Update:
One amendment to my previous post on the Edelman Technorati lists. These lists are in beta. We have more work to do in perfecting them and we understand and apologize for the confusion caused by releasing the full lists before they were scrubbed by technoati for public release. The good news is that you can help. If you visit the Technotati blog, you will find instructions on how to register, claim your blog and identify the language you blog in; this will go a long way to making sure the Top 100 lists are clean by the time they are formally launched on technorati in the coming weeks.

Can You Save $1,000 in 30 Days?

Ramit at I Will Teach You to Be Rich has announced his Save $1,000 in 30 Days Challenge. During the month of November, he’s urging people to get off the couch and actually take steps to reduce their spending. Here’s what he writes:

Right now, people don’t care about proper asset allocation or understanding average stock market returns. The people I’ve talked to want to know how to save money right now. [...]

Each day in November, I’ll post one suggestion to cut your spending. If you spend time each day working on the day’s post, the vast majority of you will save over $1,000 each month. Even if you don’t, saving $700 is sure better than nothing. I’ll post tips for the first 15 days. For the last 15 days, I’ll turn to I Will Teach You To Be Rich readers to submit your best frugality tips.

Check out this video introducing the Challenge.

This is an unusual move for Ramit. I Will Teach You to Be Rich — which is a great site — isn’t a frugality blog. In fact, Ramit’s an outspoken opponent of what he calls “stupid frugality tips” (e.g. use two tablespoons of cocoa powder instead of three). His site usually focuses more on boosting earning potential than cutting costs.

But in this sort of economy, every little bit helps. The “Save $1,000 in 30 Days Challenge” is a great way to stop thinking about frugality and to begin practicing it.

Note: The first tip in the challenge is to pack lunches for the rest of the week. The second tip is to turn your thermostat down three degrees.

how o yearn more many

January 30, 2006 No matter which life stage you are in, you have a future ahead of you and you should not leave it to chance- you must plan for it. So what are your financial goals? Here's a tip: "making a lot of money fast" is not necessarily a reasonable goal. Look ahead and think of when would you incur major expenditures. When you think of your goals, you should think about your hopes and dreams, for yourself and your family. What do you hope to achieve in life? Possibly buy a home and send your children to college? Or maybe you'd like to retire early and travel the world? And now compare the future dream with the current reality. Here are a few tips for planning for a secure future: 1. What you earn, what you spend The first part of allocating your investments is to figure out what's there to allocate. You need to estimate both your net worth and your net income/expenses. Your net worth, what accountants call a balance sheet, compares your assets (what you own) with your liabilities (what you owe). This will help you see your monthly disposable income -- the income you have left over after paying all necessary expenses. And that tells you how much you can afford to contribute to your financial goals each month. 2. Set your goals Financial professionals often counsel investors to write down their goals. Their intention is not to make you ponder the meaning of life, but to help you create the best plan to reach those goals along the way. There's another benefit that comes from identifying your goals. Saving and investing just for the sake of getting rich might work for some people. But for most others, though, giving up Rs.5000 every month can put a strain on their wallets - until they look at a photo of their children and remember that the Rs.5000 they're investing now will go toward helping pay their kids' higher education fees later. 3. Budget for it After you identify your goals and how much you need to reach them, you should begin setting aside money on a regular basis to invest in your plan. Saving on a regular basis is the key to reaching your goals; no matter how little the amount you start out investing. Don't be discouraged if your goal seems large and unreachable - remember that even a leaky faucet can fill your sink with water, drop by drop. Making investments on a regular basis, even if you can only set aside a small amount each month, can eventually build a sizable portfolio. Many people think that they can't spare any cash to start an investing plan. These people probably have not learned the importance of paying yourself first. Setting aside a small amount for your long-term investing plan each week or each month before you pay any other bills or expenses is all you have to do. 4. Spread your money It's rarely a good idea to have all your eggs in one basket. Depending on your goals and attitude to risk, you should invest your money over different investment options such as Stocks, Mutual Funds and Bonds. You may also want to diversify within each of these categories. With stocks, for example, a mutual fund will invest your money in a variety of companies but you may want to ensure you have a range of industry sectors too. 5. Make sure your money grows Should you leave it in the savings bank account and earn a meager rate of return? Or should you invest it in the PPF? The fact is that investing your money in the so-called safe fixed income instruments like Fixed Deposits, PPF, NSC, etc. is simply not enough. This is due to the low rate of return on such instruments and high inflation rate in the economy. It is your hard earned money and you should invest it in instruments, which will make it grow over time and thereby build capital for your future. Stocks is known world over for its potential to increase in value over time and provide your portfolio with the growth required to help you meet your long-term goals. Mutual Funds have given investors a whole new avenue for investment as per your risk appetite and expected returns. 6. Keep track of your track record After you invest, you'll want to keep track of how your investments do. This doesn't mean you need to watch your returns on a daily basis (doing that can be like weighing yourself every day when you're trying to lose weight -- it won't help you judge long-term results, and you can drive yourself crazy doing it). Instead, establish a regular timeframe for checking your investments to see if they are matching or beating your goals. For example, you may decide to review your returns investments once every three months, or twice a year. While benchmarks aren't the only way to judge the strength of your investments, these tools can help you gauge how your investments are doing compared to similar investments. You may use the following benchmarks: Market indices -- such as Sensex, Nifty. This will help you compare your performance with the overall returns of the market Mutual fund benchmarks -- AMFI (Association of Mutual fund in India) has certain benchmarks for various categories of mutual funds. Personal benchmarks -- you can set an overall goal -- for example, for your investments to outpace inflation by 5 percent over a period of five years -- and use it as a benchmark. Be sure to set a reasonable timeline over which to compare your investments to a benchmark. You want to know how your investments perform through market ups and downs, so a longer timeline is more telling than a shorter one. For example, a five-year comparison will tell you more than a six-month comparison. If you find one of your investments under-performs over the short term (for example, under-performed its benchmark over the last three months), don't be hasty to sell it earlier than you planned unless you've lost confidence in its long-term potential. 7. Don't lose your balance You've established a portfolio with an asset allocation that suits you, and are reviewing your investments' performance on a regular basis. Think your work is done? Not quite. You should still sit down periodically -- such as once a year -- to review your goals, finances and asset allocation. After all, goals can change. Time and circumstances can shift your priorities and your comfort with risk, changing your ideal asset allocation. When this happens, you may need to make changes to your portfolio. Even if your ideal asset allocation hasn't changed, review your portfolio to make sure your existing asset allocation is still what you planned. Sometimes your asset allocation will change through no action on your part due to market movements. When this happens, your portfolio is out of balance -- which can expose you to more risk than you intended. How can you fix it? You might sell investments in one asset class or buy extra shares of investments in another class. When should you be on the lookout? If you're like most people, once or twice a year is probably often enough to see if the asset allocation in your portfolio is still what you'd planned. But be sure to also check when you go through a major life change, such as getting married, having children, changing jobs or retiring. When you go through a big change, examine both your existing and your planned allocation to make sure both are right for your new lifestyle and risk tolerance. Just keep these seven steps in mind and you should be able to achieve all your goals. Happy saving! The author is CEO and MD of IDBI Capital Powered by More Guest Columns

10 Tips On How To Get Rich Fast

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could get rich tomorrow? What would you do with all that money? Well believe it or not it can be done. Now I didn’t say it would be easy I just said you could do it. Here are 10 tips on how to get rich fast.

1. Invest - Start young. In fact start while you are in elementary school, kindergarten is even better. It’s the beauty of compound interest and over time your money will grow into a nice nest egg. Okay if you are reading this you are probably too old to start in elementary school but you can get your kids hooked. As for you the best plan of defense is to invest 50% of your salary in a high risk market fund or the penny stock market. You’ve got a 50-50 chance. You’ll either make a million or be broke in 90 days.

2. Marry Rich - Now how difficult can this be? All you need to do is find someone who has loads of money and marry them. Okay I didn’t say you’d be happy just rich. Perhaps not a solution for most of us but it apparently works for a few.

3. Win The Lottery - Ya ya I know the odds of getting struck by lightening are better than the odds of winning the lottery but you can’t win if you don’t try and it’s one of the few ways I know of that you can get rich fast.

4. Rich Parents - If you come from a wealthy family then you are half way there. All you have to do is stay in their good books and convince mom and dad to not spend their money and leave it to you when they pass. After all why should your parents get to enjoy the wealth they reaped?

5. Get An Education - Go to school for lots of years, accumulate plenty of debt, and choose a career that pays big bucks. After about 10 years in your profession you should be rolling in the dough and you might even be filthy rich before you get old

6. Become A Star - Heck if Jennifer Aniston or Nicolas Cage can do it why can’t you. A couple of acting lessons and you should be set. All you need to do is head to Hollywood and strike it big. One good movie and you’ll be set for life.

7. Invest In Real Estate - Buy high sell low – whoops I think I got that backwards. Buy low, wait 10 years, 20 years, maybe even 30 years but inflation will have your investment growing by leaps and bounds and you could be filthy rich especially if you bought in an up and coming city while house prices were still low. Now if you bought in Hicksville USA you may have a problem. It might take more than your lifetime to see any dramatic increases. Oh well you can leave it to your kids who can leave it to their kids and in another 100 years or so someone’s going to be sitting pretty.

8. The Internet Way - Heck where have you been. A quick search on the Web will reveal plenty of sites that will teach you how to make $50,000 a day. Now I think most of us could live quite comfortably on that don’t you? All you need to do is part with about $500 and they’ll tell you the secrets of wealth in one page or less. If the first one doesn’t do it for you perhaps you might want to try a few more. Oh wait a minute. Perhaps what you need to do is set up one of these sights, then you’ll be the one getting rich off the other poor fools that part with their $500.

9. Bank Robbery - Okay highly illegal and could land you a lifetime in the slammer but desperate needs require desperate measures. After all if you get caught you might not be rich but you’ll have free room and board for the rest of your life and then you could write a book about what not to do when robbing a bank and well see you could get rich from your book. And even better, you’ll stay rich because there is really no place to spend it while in jail.

10. High Risk Work - Take on those high risk jobs no one else wants. You know counselor in Iraq, bean counter in Afghanistan, Oil tycoon in Iran. But hey if you live through it you’ll be rolling in the dough. What does it matter that 99% never live through it. You’ve got a 1% chance and when it comes to getting rich those are pretty good odds.

Sure most of these ideas are pretty off the wall but if getting rich fast was easy wouldn’t we all be rich? Then what fun would there be in that? We’d all have too much money and probably be bored to tears. So why not aim for better life with good friends, love, happiness, and enough money to live comfortably but not so much that you stop dreaming about what you would do if you were rich.

101 Things in 1001 Days

After writing that the road to wealth is paved with goals, I realized that my own list of goals looks a little ragged. Some of the goals are outdated. Many have been met. And I’ve developed new priorities for which new goals should be set.

I recently discovered an old internet meme that involves setting goals: the “101 things in 1001 days” list. Participants make a list of 101 things they’d like to accomplish over the next three years, and then work toward achieving them. I first saw this at dienu.com, though googling reveals that it’s been around at least since 2003. (Here’s a discussion of the concept’s origin.)

A site called Triplux popularized the 101 Things in 1001 Days, offering the following guidelines that I’ve found at many sites:

The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past — frequently simple goals such as new year’s resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

Goal setting tips

1. Be decisive. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it.
2. Stay Focussed. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end. Constantly evaluate your progress.
3. Welcome Failure. Frequently, very little is learned from a venture that did not experience failure in some form. Failure presents the opportunity to learn and makes the success more worthy.
4. Write down your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment.
5. Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they are always at the forefront of your thinking.

I’m going to complete my own list of 101 Things in 1001 Days this weekend. Get Rich Slowly isn’t really the appropriate place for me to share this sort of thing; I’ll post these goals at my personal site sometime next week. (Update: My list is up.) There are two things that are sure to be on the list: publish a book and complete a marathon. (Note I didn’t write “run a marathon”!)

I encourage you to make a list of your own dreams. What would you like to accomplish in the next few years? Even if you don’t list 101 things, you could surely list a dozen. Make that list. Print it out. Post it someplace prominent so that you’re reminded of your goals daily.

Take care, my friends. Have a great weekend!
