Money 'Da' Easy Way

Lounging in Cyberspace generates Ca$h!

1:24 AM, Aug. 30, 2008 .. Posted in Industriousness .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

While 'searching-4-dollars' amongst my many other daily tasks, I am a member of and therefor visit quite a few entrepreneur network sites. Alas, working from home or independently in a small office can cause a sense of disconnect to others in the same field or mindset. It is imperative for a balanced mind, career and home life to maintain peer-to-peer relationships right along with those of your customers/clients and right behind those of your family and friends!


As I was picking up a few tips regarding new online ways to generate income for the home based entrepreneur one of my 'friends' [it's amazing to me how most of the social sites utilize the word "friend" for the connections made between its members: while some connections may grow into meaningful and lasting friendships, for the most part I've found this classification to be comical at best. . .] from a more laid back business social network sent me message about the 'latest and greatest' ad revenue sharing social networking site. Being the curious one that I am, i clicked on the link provided and sauntered over for a look see.


Ok, so at first I didn't click the link because I thought my 'friend' had written a typo! The name of the network is "6dgr" and that made no sense to me at all. After pondering over what he could have [b]meant[/b] to write I went ahead and clicked the link. . . Now you have the gospel truth! ;)


The tagline for the site is, "Everyone's Connected" although the site is new and has less than 2500 members. However, it's revenue sharing claim is apparently based upon:


1. Opening a checking account with WaMu

2. Recruiting members


The marketing page boasts a possible monthly income of a little more than $3,400 for those that recruit 10 people which in turn recruit 10 in a single month. Naturally my 'friend' had attained that goal.


I joined the network and have actually managed to have one very dear friend [that I know personally] to join also.


The site's layout is clean, upscale and moderately trendy with just enough technology to be current yet not over the top with 'bells & whistles!' The community seems to be focused on sharing ways to generate income online [a sure magnet for yours truly] AND are very active in posting comments to new members that are actually beneficial tidbits of entrepreneur information!


Being one more inclined towards the intellectual pursuits of reading, researching and writing, participating in these more 'social' arenas is providing me another opportunity to challenge my notion of myself and where I 'am' at this stage in my life: embracing change, expanding my comfort zone and generating $$ in the process is a win-win for a granny like me!


You can check out "6dgr" yourself and share your findings of the site with me!

Caution: Forgeries abound online!

1:22 AM, Aug. 30, 2008 .. Posted in Prudence .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

Of late there have been many, many fabulous claims of huge earnings made online utilizing various vehicles. Many of these claims are substantiated with videos and screen shots of 'deposits' placed into personal banking, PayPal, AlertPay, etc. accounts in order to motivate sign ups into the programs that are being offered. While quite a few of these programs do serve as viable internet income generating vehicles some of the 'high income' amounts claimed to be made are false.


Because of my varied interests in electronics, cell phones, discount shopping, hardware and web hosting [to name a few. . .] I have a tendency to join and promote affiliate programs which features my interests. Possessing information and some knowledge about these interests/products allows me the benefit of being able to answer basic questions from customers about them as well as enjoy researching the pros and cons of various manufacturers, models, upgrades, etc. For the most part, my research uncovers bits and pieces of technical information that most people never care to know – yet it allows me greater insight into the mechanics of my interests which further can be used to assist people.


However, while I am earning a decent amount of income from the affiliate programs that I subscribe to, it is based upon site traffic AND customer purchases and not on some 'magic' process that only requires me to refer others and let the 'big bucks' roll in. I wish it were that simple. . .


I've seen a few of those videos and screen shots of account deposits that encouraged me to be consistent with my research, article writings and posting to my various blogs and online communities – even though I didn't choose to sign up for the various programs being offered [one or two I was already signed up in!]. There's nothing like a personal endorsement presented in an 'honest' way to inspire and motivate yours truly, while being 'frugal' tends to curb my enthusiasm and channel my energies towards methodical actions that will produce long term rewards. . .


So, you can imagine my surprise and disappointment when I stumbled upon the video found in the link provided that actually debunks the 'honest proof of deposits' that had been a source of motivation for me! Yet, the author shows quite clearly how anyone with a little 'scripting/programming' know how [which I haven't had the time to learn] can falsify the earnings total and make it look like their affiliate marketing program is the greatest discovery since sliced bread!


Take a look at the video and keep in mind that the average affiliate marketer, like myself and the majority of others online, ARE honest people working to make a living like anyone else. Also keep in mind that there are unscrupulous people out there seeking to boost their referral bonuses by any means available – and deception is one of them!

Don't Let This Happen to You!

7:50 PM, Aug. 22, 2008 .. Posted in Prudence .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

A very caring and sincere friend of mine called me in exasperation on the other day. The conversation went like this:


“I just don't know why anyone would want to steal my identity! I'm not rich or famous and work hard to earn every DIME of my money! This is terrible – now I have to get new credit card numbers and email address and passwords!”


“Wow, that's terrible. What happened?” I had to ask, naturally, because that's what friends are for – calling on the phone, sharing your woes and, in my case, forcing them to be distracted from the current project that is already behind schedule. . .


“Well, I've been joining forums, newsgroups and some of those paid-to-read websites online – like the ones you recommend to people. And I opened a few online accounts to shop at, in order to buy discounted products – you know the way you always recommend.”


Why was I beginning to feel like whoever it was that had stolen her identity was suspected of being in collusion with me? “Oh, I see. So what happened?” What else could I say?


“Someone got my email address, my passwords and my credit card information too! They spent up all that I had on my cards, spammed some websites and sent emails to my friends with pornography in them!”


Of course I was stunned. “How in the world did that happened? Exactly what happened? Did you get a virus on your computer or some malware? You should have called me if you were having problems with your computer – generally they'll act differently when something has been downloaded. ..” I trailed off knowing that getting me on the phone is about as easy as sliding uphill – wearing a suit of spiked clothing! Yet, had anyone called and left me a distress message, I'd have responded ASAP – within 5 or 6 hours!


“Well, you know when those sign up forms ask for your email address?”

“Yes.”

“And then they ask for your password?”

“Yes.”

“Well, I put in my password.”

“Oh. Uh, you put in YOUR email password on the application website?” Though I HAD mumbled to myself on many occasions that the way those forms presented the data fields any body could slip and put their personal email password there. Even I had to catch myself the first couple of times. . .

“Yes, I thought that's what they wanted. . .Anyway, someone passed my email information to someone else and then they got into my email account!”

“So how did they get your credit card info and other stuff like that?” This was getting very strange to me, I admit there is very little available space in my personal idiocy domain for drama – let's get to the point so we can solve the problem!

“Well, I didn't store my passwords and account info in an encrypted file on my desktop, you know the way you always recommend? I just couldn't stop and pull up the file, make up a code for the account and do all of that, so I simply emailed my credit card and other account information to myself! It's way easier for me to open my email to get that info – you know I really like the Thunderbird email client that you recommended.”

“Oh. So, you put in your email password with your email address in an application for an online account for whatever it was THEN your email account got accessed and your identity got used. Is that what your telling me? Some jerk employee took advantage of you and now you're credit is on the run?” This was waaaaaay past my drama quotient – I'm planning to not answer my phone for 90 days or more. . .

“Yes. Most of it is being charged off. But I had some very PRIVATE stuff in my email. And the porn stuff that got emailed out – I don't even like porn!”


STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP. STOP.


This is a fictitious scenario. Over the course of signing up for a zillion different memberships, accounts, mailing lists, etc. I find that the most frequently used form first asks for your email address then, password. Anyone that isn't paying attention would simply put their email password in the box provided and that's the upshot of this posting: PAY ATTENTION TO ALL QUESTIONS, FINE PRINT AND INFORMATION REQUESTED OF YOU IN CYBERSPACE AND IN PRINT.


It only takes one slip to fall and really hurt yourself. Mind your business, as in be mindful when doing business because as the saying goes, A mind is a terrible thing to waste. . .

Live Long AND Prosper

7:48 PM, Aug. 22, 2008 .. Posted in Health IS Wealth .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

This has been a somewhat slow paced week – not that there wasn't a million and one things to do as usual – I simply decided to mind my own Holistic Health information and coast along getting items completed while I took advantage of working from home.


From time to time, as I grow older, I get in mode of not wanting to take the time to 'chew' as in eat solid food, for sustenance. This feeling is what prompted me to become very good at creating energizing high impact juice blends and smoothies. However the foundation of the recipe for the juice part of this post, credit goes to a 'sistah friend' of mine, chef/caterer HuNia of HuNia's Divine Soul Kitchen in Oakland, California.


The breakfast juice blend consists of the following:


  • 3 med carrots

  • 1 med beet

  • 4 med radishes

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • ¼ tsp cayenne


Making sure all of your vegetables are organic, scrub each carefully removing all dirt and possible insects. Depending on the model of juicer cut the vegetables in small enough sizes. Place some carrot, beet, radish and garlic together in the chamber, a bit at a time and juice until all of the vegetables are liquefied. Save the pulp. Pour the juice into a glass [this should make about 6 to 10 oz of juice] and stir in the cayenne.


Drink mindfully: take in a mouthful, swish it in your mouth and then swallow. The enzymes, vitamins and nutrients will be absorbed through the cells of the mouth, gums and tongue before instant absorption through the stomach into the bloodstream.


Now pulling our your blender take the remaining pulp and blend with the following:


  • 12 oz filtered or distilled water

  • 2 scoops Organic Hemp Protein powder

  • 1 tbsp Blue Green Algae [Spirulina or Chlorella can be used]

  • ½ tsp Vitamin C crystals [powder]

  • ¼ tsp cayenne


Blend on high until smooth about 40 seconds. Enjoy for lunch!


Take the liberty to add whatever herbs or supplements you feel your body is in need of in the smoothie – poor digestion is the leading cause of most disease, since health begins in the colon and undigested food particles puts the body on alert against invasion!


Treating yourself to these 2 Power Drinks will energize your blood [beets have the highest amount of absorbable iron] and allow the stomach to rest and regenerate itself. Live long AND prosper!

Working AND Jamming -- Pandora makes it happen!

7:45 PM, Aug. 22, 2008 .. Posted in Industriousness .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

For those of us that really find Paid-to-Read emails and ads excruciatingly boring yet highly profitable, there is the option of grooving in your seat to some uplifting music via Pandora!


I've been a Pandora fan for years having found it online when working in the 'corporate' world at a desk job. From it's home page Pandora is described as “radio from the Music Genome Project” which I was totally unaware of when I stumbled upon it! However, you can find information about the Music Genome Project by clicking on the link provided here.


When you first access the Pandora site you'll be shown a page that describes it as being a medium which allows the user to create their own 'stations' based on artists, songs or genres of their choosing. What's really cool is once you create an account you can create a station for any artist that you've EVER liked or enjoyed listening to because the database is humongous and expanding all the time! So for those great songs you heard as a child or teenager yet no longer can find in the 'record' stores, you can type in the name of the song and a drop down list of possible songs will be provided for you to choose from. Once you select the song you want to hear, Pandora prompts you to create a 'station' of the artist or genre AND you can name the stations whatever you like! I've got stations with names like, 'cool grooves,' 'Jeffrey Osborne,' 'Dianne Reeves,' and 'dance tunes,' to name only a few – unlimited 'stations' can be created and you can listen for as long as you like!


Since yours truly is the champion of 'multi-tasking' catching up on some once loved and newly discovered musical favorites fits right in with the time spent reading emails, ads and filling out surveys! And it even makes the time 'fly' by – allowing me to cruise into my preferred tasks of writing tips and info to share!

Giving It All You Got IS the Easy Part

12:59 AM, Aug. 17, 2008 .. Posted in Industriousness .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

There are so few truly lazy people in the work arena that this article may well be a matter of 'preaching to the choir' and for that please accept my deepest apologies!


The economic times here in the US and, I suspect, globally among the 'industrial' nations, is challenging for many that are in the lower and middle class income groups. The move from agriculture to industry to information/services has created quite a boom for those that are in the position of creating and/or maximizing the income generating trends [aka global economy] while those of us of the 'working' class are scrambling just to pay fuel costs and maintain living standards -- while looking over our shoulders for the next corporate downsizing. . .


Ok, so some of us are doing ok with our own businesses: hair care, auto detail shops, laundromats, dry cleaners and a few other staple businesses are and will almost always be in demand! But what about those of us that have work experience in other areas that need to be channeled into a viable business venture for ourselves? How many of us can truly launch a million dollar website, or sell millions of dollars in products or provide millions of dollars in virtual assistance services? Very few. What are we to do then in order to generate income in a relatively 'easy' manner, while balancing our other life's duties and responsibilities?


There's no 'easy' answer to that question. However, there is one absolute truth that all aspiring and new entrepreneurs must keep in mind. While working for yourself does and may bring great emotional and physical benefits in relationship to not having to worry about being fired, laid off, wardrobe concerns and/or commuting there are other demands that bring a definite measurable level of stress to being self-employed. You have yourself to depend upon, and that includes your physical, mental and spiritual health, to create the income needed for your survival!


Be prepared to:

1. put in hours asking questions of those with experience in the field you choose

2. research everything that you can find regarding being self-employed and entrepreneurism

3. spend more time marketing, promoting and exposing your business than actually doing whatever it is you do -- unless you have some very deep financial pockets for your advertising budget.

4. embark upon a path of absolute identity change: becoming a successful business person after having been an employee is something that will take a tremendous amount of energy to transform yourself into. Which is why so many start ups and small business fail: most people don't realize they can't continue seeing the work world from the eyes of a worker and must start seeing it thru the eyes of a CEO.


Once you establish a good working rhythm for those four [and by no means exhaustive] list of items, you'll begin to see your business, no matter how simple the structure, for what it is -- business, aka work!


And while there is literally no end to simple, relatively 'easy' business ventures offered via the internet and the global business platform, it is STILL work!


Make sure the business you choose, is something you truly love doing. That's the key to having demanding work and responsibilities invigorate rather than drain! Motivation MAKES it 'easy' which in turns makes 'work' seem like play!

Cyberspace Billboards: Make Easy Cash Right Away!

3:40 AM, Aug. 16, 2008 .. Posted in Money 'Da' Easy Way .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

As you all know, I've been working diligently exploring simple, FREE and easy ways to generate income online thru various opportunities. Recently I shared some information regarding reading emails and/or ads in order to earn money while surfing the internet.


Someone asked me if there was, “REALLY companies that PAID people to read emails and ads???” I found this to be an interesting, yet all to common response to the notion that personal time and attention is EXTREMELY precious therefor making both very valuable! I began thinking about the countless looks of sheer amazement I get from people all the time when during the course of a conversation they mention their favorite TV or radio commercial and I have absolutely no awareness of the commercial and frequently the product! Even when I watched TV for 2 to 3 hours a day a couple of times a week, I NEVER watched commercials on purpose! Commercials provided bathroom, refrigerator, check-what's-cooking-on-the-stove or see-if-the-baby is awake breaks – while a few could be entertaining my patience for scripted performances to separate me from my money was then, and still is practically zero! Of course these days, I only see commercials when visiting family or friends as I've given away my 'idiot box' more than 2 years ago and I manage to find other creative ways to amass my quota of idiot clutter without television. . .


At any rate, while searching for free software with which to generate mailing lists along with creating a newsletter I happened upon a site, Zinester, that offered both mailing list services AND directory listing for newsletters, aka ezines! In order for me to get a few good ideas for my newsletter layout, etc. I decided to click on some of the ezine listings in the Zinester free directory and what did I find? A very interesting and lucrative pay-to-read email and advertising site that I hadn't come across before.

The ezine author was giving rave reviews of the site, Inbox Dollars and I had to check it out for myself: it was purported that the payout for screening some of the advertisers was anywhere from $1 to $5 and the minimum cashout was $5000.00! What actually challenged me was the fact that she also mentioned it took her less than 2 weeks to generate $5000.00 from reading emails and/or ads!


While investigating Inbox Dollars [of course I signed up :)], I noticed that the majority of THEIR advertisers were, drum roll maestro, paid to read email/ads companies! This of itself was eye opening yet the real astonishing thing was that nearly 75% of these sites were paying $1 and upwards of $20 to read emails and/or ads! All I kept thinking was, “How are these sites such a secret?” and “Why aren't more people reading emails and/or ads for cash?”


As I signed up for more of the higher paying 'screening' sites, I began musing over how it was they could afford to pay such decent amounts of money to their membership. Naturally the answer revealed itself by the third sign up. . .


These sites are “billboards” of the new millennium and their 'hook' is they can GUARANTEE a set number of ad/email views to their customers [advertisers] based on their membership rolls!Many of them are scrambling to amass 10s of 1000s of members because, naturally the more members they have, the higher the ad rates they can charge! And with their sites being accessed by 100s to 1000s of members daily, most of these sites can afford to share the ad revenues to the members – easily!


So that's the 'catch.' Offer sign up bonuses to members, I saw bonuses as high as $8000 delimited to the first 5000 members, etc., get the 'viewer' levels high as quickly as possible and offer/deliver happy to oblige audiences to potential advertising clients! Brilliant! [Why didn't I think of that???] If you're still wondering how that financially plays out here's a likely scenario:


  1. Initially sell ad space at a rate of $7 per 'click.'

  2. Recruit 'viewers' by offering to pay them $2 per 'view.'

  3. When membership reaches critical mass, say 1000 members increase the ad space cost.

  4. There's absolutely NO personnel, office space, etc. overhead because the entire business is maintained online and every 'member' is an independent contractor – not an employee, plus the pc/laptop that has the site on it could easily be in someone's bedroom, kitchen, garage, etc.

  5. The cost of server space to host these websites is less than $7 per month so even with only 20 clients at the initial $7 rate, an almost 2000% profit has been made in the first month alone.

  6. Paying out 1 to 2% of the profit will definitely offset taxes and still leave a hefty profit for the sites' owners.


Now while my scenario is very far from being mathematically exact, the ratios and format are clearly what's taking place. Therefor, paying people to read emails and/or ads is something that any smart, savvy and shrewd WebPreneur would do in order to run a successful internet 'advertising agency!' This is internet marketing at its BEST: guaranteed audience for the clients; paid membership for 'reviewing' products and/or services! And it gets better on most of the sites – purchases or sign ups to clients' sites/businesses also accrues earnings: and if you shop online anyway this is a great way to get a built in 'rebate' or 'discount' for your purchases!


As the quintessential Queen of, “I don't have time to waste looking at commercials!” I must say that I'm impressed with the payouts of some of these new and innovative 'commercial outlet' sites! To their credit many require you view their sponsors' sites for 60 seconds and less!


I also know that the internet has fads that come and go however, marketing and audiences are the bread and butter for nearly all businesses in existence! While the going is good I'm advising everyone to find their favorite commercials online – and get paid for doing so!


Below is a list of 2 sites that are still recruiting to build their membership to the 'critical mass' level of 5000 and are pitching $1000 and $2000 sign up bonuses to all that sign up before the quota is met:


  1. Money-Mails

  2. Red-Mails


Now, of course there IS the possibility of scams, hackers and just plain ne'er do wells in cyberspace that all of us need to be on the alert for. Luckily, yours truly, is always thinking about the flip side to all that she brings to the table for sharing and I also did some investigating into fraudulent email/ad pay to view sites so that it can't be said that I willfully provided 'shaky' information to my readers. There is a website, GTPBoycott that exists solely to gather information and expose those sites that are unscrupulous, etc. There are listings of sites cited for not paying as contracted along with sites on the 'Watch List' for those sites with five or fewer complaints. I found the listings to be recent [for the most part] and suggest that a thorough web search be made before joining any collective wherein earnings OR sales are offered. Further, none of the sites mentioned in this article appear in either list – which I checked AFTER viewing the sites and researching them.


That's it in a nutshell: anyone can earn money, as in get paid, to view emails and/or ads from quite a few reputable sites just by investing 2 to 4 hours per day, week or month: it also increases your payout for recruiting others to join the sites, this is known as 'referrals,' however it is actually building a down line of active participants that generate additional revenues for your account.


Once upon a time, nearly 36 years ago, I had quite a bit of leisure time on my hands as I was expecting my first born child. While planning the nursery, and buying the layette I often watched TV as I scoured the mail order catalogs for bargains and items on my wish list. To be completely honest, I can't remember one, not one, of the commercials that I may have viewed back then – however, had I been paid to watch and pay attention, I bet I could manage to recall and even sing a jingle or two. . .


Which just goes to show, your mind, memory and/or intellectual 'mental' property is just as precious as your bank account and BOTH need to be increased on a regular basis!

The Art of Executive Entrepreneurism

12:04 AM, Aug. 15, 2008 .. Posted in Health IS Wealth .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

Working from home often appears to be all fun and games to those that seek to be self-employed and/or those that feel they must work for someone else. In far too many cases, entrepreneurs have a higher stress level when it comes to being 'accountable' for producing profits in order to support themselves, family and often employees. The position of responsibility for making the whole thing 'go' as opposed to being a part of a 'going' operation is extremely challenging for those that are newly entering the self-employment arena either by choice or due to being downsized from gainful employment else where.


Yet, there is great satisfaction in being an 'executive' and 'boss' of one's own income generating mechanism: self respect for a job well done, even in the beginning stages, cannot be over exaggerated. For those that are in the first 3 years of working from home or being self employed in a small business, there is often a tight budget and rarely instant overnight riches. However, the need for executive level pampering in the form of healthy relaxation and regeneration 'treatments' are a critical part of the best 'business plans' for those seeking to stay in business!


As a Certified Health Consultant the awareness that Health Is Wealth is always foremost in my consultations with clients and customers. Although my journey into self-pampering began in my youth with the 'luxuriating' gifts of bubble bath, body powder and cologne sets from my mother, the practicality of home spa techniques has evolved into a viable recommendation for all, especially those with limited funds and great emotional as well as physical demands. Luckily, we are living in an age where some of the most healing tools for home spa use are very reasonably priced and easily accessible to all!


  1. Shower Filter. Chlorine displays neurotoxic properties, especially in its gaseous form. So, while taking a shower may feel good to the muscles and mind, often it is causing unseen/undetected damage to the lungs and internal organs as it is inhaled/absorbed into the body. There are numerous shower water filters on the market, some that filter out many more deleterious elements than chlorine and others that focus only on chlorine. It doesn't matter how 'up scale' the filter is as long as it removes chlorine from your shower water. Showering in filtered water actually re-hydrates the body as you bathe and that is an added plus!

  2. Massage Shower Head. Here too, there are countless models available in a very wide price range: the good thing is it isn't important how much you pay for your shower head ESPECIALLY once you've installed the filter because the focus is to get a good 'massage' via focused streams of water against the muscles of your body! Starting your shower with the temperature as warm as you can stand, then turning the massage head to focused streams as you soap up [and hopefully turn, stretch and bend] assists the blood in flowing to the surface of the skin while the pressure of the water stimulates the muscles, tendons and tissues causing enhanced blood flow as well.

  3. Foot Bath. Again, these can be found at most any drug store and even some major home improvement stores at reasonable investment costs. For a true executive treatment, get a foot bath that 'bubbles' and has massaging elements for your feet to rest upon. Sitting at a desk all day [working on a computer] causes the blood to often drain to the feet and become stagnant: almost everyone has experienced tired, swollen feet at the end of a 10 hour day where serious deadlines have had to be met. A good massaging foot bath helps to draw toxins out of the feet while stimulating precious blood flow. With the addition of a little essential oil [lavender, peppermint or tea tree] the foot bath becomes a healing, soothing treatment that literally imparts peace to the mind!


While scheduling your week's duties and tasks to be accomplished to keep your business in the 'black' make sure to calendar in some executive level pampering – it'll help your body retain it's youthful exuberance while reinforcing to yourself that you are, indeed, The CEO!

Efficient Business Telecommunication: Energize your browsing

12:14 AM, Aug. 14, 2008 .. Posted in SensiBusiness .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

Recently I sent an email announcement regarding the launching of a new Small/Home Business Networking site, S-B Global Enterprise Network. Within a few days I received numerous responses saying the mailing list sign up link didn't work. The first replies came from trusted friends so I swiftly assured them I'd add them to the email list and sent another link to the GBC Forum membership page. Upon visiting one of my favorite business networks, Black Business Space, I had another message stating my links didn't work! Needless to say [but I got to say it] I was perplexed!

I checked the links from my machine [again] and they worked fine! However, I also discovered the problem with the mailing list link: in order for the 'script' to work [i.e., accept the sign up info AND forward same to yours truly] an email client had to be installed on the user's pc! For the most part, I usually think of myself as the 'last to know' when it comes to cutting edge technology, software and programming: so if I know an efficient way to be able to email the link to a web page, I generally think that most of my colleagues do too! Obviously this is not the case, which gives me yet another opportunity to provide some useful information/instructions as to how to maximize internet based telecommunications via a local email client.

What an 'email client' is:

Software installed on a local pc or laptop that accesses a remote server and retrieves email messages for review which also allows for drafting, composing and sending emails, etc.

What an 'email client' is good for:

When using a web browser, in order to send a link to a great page select 'file' in the browser right hand corner [FireFox], select 'send link' and your email client opens up with a neat 'compose message' window so the only thing to be done is add the name of the recipient and press 'send!' They are also good for sending emails to 'contact us' email addresses found on websites that are not form-to-server based: that means sometimes, as in the case of my mailing list form, in order for the process to work and email is generated when you select 'submit.' With an email client installed, this process is handled automatically and there is never a need to 'cut and paste' website urls or other addresses into an email on a pop3 or ISP provided account.

What are some good 'email clients?':

Thunderbird, Mulberry and Eudora

Installing an email client is as simple as downloading a file [which it is] and then 'clicking' on it to install to your computer or laptop. Before installing an email client, get the pop3 and SMTP information from your email account provider. The pop3 info is usually something like, “mail.yahoo.com” and is generally also the SMTP info as well. Once the incoming [pop3] and outgoing [SMTP] servers are identified and saved the only other thing to do is input your email address: absolutegenius@email.com and your password: thisismypassword, and voila´ your email client is configured!

Now, this is NOT a technical, step by step instructional piece on how to install and set up email clients! What this is truly about is making the greatest use of your computer's resources which in turn makes for ease and efficiency of your time and energy resources. Fortunately, in depth technical step-by-step instructions are provided at the websites of those email clients listed above AND at any email client website that you may search and find more to your liking.

Being in business requires a willingness to take charge of technology and make it serve you and your business to the ultimate degree! That being said, being able to click a button on your desktop and have ALL of your email delivered to you is something that I find indispensable: no need to open my web browser [IE or FireFox] or my ISP provider's home page; no need to remember my passwords [cause I have a zillion necessary accounts]; and no need to miss out on sending a 'thumbs up' email message to the owner of a great 'for profit' blog because their form is email based!

Explore 'email clients' via the web or the links provided. Relax, take some time to thoroughly comprehend the many benefits of having one installed on your desktop and then choose one that fits your style! I have two on my desktop, for two different email domains, without any conflict whatsoever! Step into the driver's seat with YOUR telecommunications – and enjoy the ride!

Priority #1: Promote Your Internet Business for FREE!

10:51 PM, Aug. 10, 2008 .. Posted in SensiBusiness .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

Setting up a top notch business website, offering high demand, quality goods and services simply isn't enough to establish a steady flow of traffic to your site! Contrary to the highly acclaimed movie made in the 80s, if you build it they will NOT come – unless you advertise, promote and get the word out that you HAVE 'built it' and are ready to expertly serve your targeted customer base.

Since this series of postings is basically directed at those that are both new to entrepreneurship and to internet business, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss marketing your online presence utilizing free resources. One relatively simple way to get accustomed to web marketing is to join ad or link exchange sites: this allows for you to get some exposure of your site AND view the ads of others in whatever system you join so that you can compare your site, your marketing strategies, your products, etc.

A few of the systems that I've reviewed [and some I've even used] are listed here. Each site has a slightly different 'hook', however, the main thing to keep in mind is gaining the experience of marketing your site WHILE exposing it to others – for FREE!

ASD Cash Generator: this is a system wherein you're allowed to list several different websites [that you own] in order to place them in the ad 'rotation' with other member businesses. Interestingly, not all the businesses are 'online,' so ASD (Ad Surf Daily) Cash Generator also serves as a viable marketing tool for any type of business wanting exposure. The free membership requires you view 20 – 30 sites per login in order to accrue points which then are alloted to your sites. The points amount to the number of times your site(s) will be viewed by other members, so the more sites you view, the more points you generate and the more YOUR site is viewed by other 'surfers!' ASD also has a paid 'upgrade' that I find to be rather expensive and other than putting your business into the rotation more frequently, I'm not convinced it is worth the cost. . .

AdFactory: this system boasts 1,000,000 free ads without the need for a membership upgrade. It is similar to ASD except it doesn't require you surf any number of pages per day (or even at all!). Members place banner ads and/or text ads on their websites that promote AdFactory, which in turn allows people that click on member banner ads and/or text to view YOUR AdFactory page which promotes your advertised website prominently! After more than a month of membership, my stats showed only 8 ad views and 1 click thru. . . I'm not sure what happened to my 1 million free ads – perhaps it adds up over the course of membership. . .

BannersMania: here there are a few extremely helpful features: free banner creation for members, I find this to be very useful for anyone not having a clue as to how to create a banner [namely yours truly a few months ago]!; and free text link exchanges which helps to build search engine ranking.

As I find more useful [and even not so useful] sites I'll report back and share the information with you. While 'they' may not come simply if you 'build it,' there ARE ways in which to let 'them' know where you are and become loyal customers!

Earn Ca$h For Reading Email!!!

12:40 AM, Aug. 7, 2008 .. Posted in Money 'Da' Easy Way .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

If you are reading this article, the chances are you're searching for honest, simple ways to earn extra money! Perhaps you'd like to get a part time job but can't fit the commute and hours into an already demanding schedule; or as a full time student working full time, adding another time commitment is out of the question; then there are those that are between full time jobs altogether and in need of an easy, hassle free way to generate needed income, whatever your circumstances and reasons, there's a solution that can be done with the ease of reading an email just like reading this article!

Hits4Pay is an ad email viewing service that pays for the number of emails read by its advertisers. To make it extremely comfortable [reading ads is akin to watching commercials – and unless they are created like a Hollywood production, they can be very boring] the ads received are from a collection of subjects/topics selected during sign up! You only get ads relevant to things that you have an interest in reading about, which makes it fairly accommodating subject wise.

Another great feature is you can read as many or as few emails that you want at a time. You decide when you want to read the emails, you decide how much time you want to set aside AND you decide how often each day, week or even month that fits your schedule or financial needs! An additional benefit is you can read the emails directly from the members area – no need to fill your email inbox with a flood of advertising. Of course with the many free email services available, setting up an account solely for the purpose of receiving advertising emails to view for cash is a very simple and smart matter.

There is also an immediate $10 sign up credit to your account which instantly generates income for less than 14 minutes of work!

According to their statement, Hits4Pay is NOT: an employment opportunity [they don't hire]; a get-rich-quick scheme to make money [there's no 'Million dollar' success stories proffered] what Hits4Pay is: a way to earn some extra cash viewing email ads from advertisers.


Truly, if I were in the financial position of being able to pay people to learn how to somewhat effortlessly earn extra cash or generate some easy money, I would! However, since I'm not in a position to pay you for learning such tips and tricks, take this information as a 'freebie' and check it out, then sign up!

Not to worry, even if you don't sign up for Hits4Pay, I'll continue to bring interesting and proven methods of making Money 'Da' Easy Way to you because that's why I'm Here!

Fantastic Income Secret: Blogging is BIG Business!

12:39 AM, Aug. 7, 2008 .. Posted in Prudence .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link

Blogging [web logging, as in writing a journal, diary or review, etc.] as a professional can be a richly rewarding business. The blog site, “Dosh Dosh,” boasts 250,000(1) page hits per month and generates a very substantial ad revenue income! Aside from blogging purely to express oneself, there are also the distinct benefits of: 1) establishing a following of readers thereby 'making a name for yourself,' and 2) networking with other bloggers, often with similar interests, goals and experience. The networking with others that have MORE experience in areas of interest is absolutely priceless – and each of us has something so unique to offer, everyone participating in such network settings can be viewed as an expert, including oneself!

Advertisers and advertising businesses, such as Free Banners, Pay Dot Com and NeverBlue Ads provide earnings to bloggers by way of compensation for placing advertisements [or even text links] on the blogs or blog websites! By securing advertisements from local merchants and social organizations like the YMCA and churches, also brings a steady income stream to bloggers that offer a high visibility to their advertisers. As the popularity of a blog(s) grows the higher the cost of 'ad space' one is able to charge – and receive! Some highly successful bloggers are Coach Kevin, Rich Sage and Pro Blogger: professional blogging can generate anywhere from $1,000 to $7,000 per month in advertisement/endorsements alone – and if one is selling products or services the monthly income can very easily be doubled or tripled these amounts!

There are also websites that exist solely for ad revenue income sharing with the members. These sites are great entries to blogging because advertisers have already been secured and the 'pay out' gets higher as the membership grows! Starting a blogging career with a few of these sites, such as Yuwie, Lazzeo and Squidoo allows for:

* establishing a web presence
* gaining experience as a blogger [writer] on a regular basis
* connecting with others: beginners as well as advanced bloggers
* building an income stream based on joining family, friends and co-workers

Inviting others to join and connect with you at these sites provides a rounded social connection because the sites also offer photo and video sharing, music uploads and other 'bells and whistles' that go beyond pure blogging sites. Further, it is the addition of these features that create incentive for others to join and share making it a scenario where everyone wins: the initial site member AND those that connect to the site via the custom invitations provided!

Do you write emails, poems, words of encouragement, jokes, essays or things that are on your mind [in a random format]? Then you should seriously click on those links provided above and join some of these sites! Get PAID to socialize and write ANYTHING that you want: THEN pass the opportunity along to those that you know!

Being Self-Employed: Revealing Internet Business Income Myths

9:29 PM, Aug. 1, 2008 .. Posted in SensiBusiness .. 0 comments .. 0 trackbacks .. Link
As many of you know amidst my diligent studies and research to bring ways of earnestly generating income online [preferably passive income as my first choice] along with moving to another state my days have been filled with change: seeing new places and routes to travel to and from the usual mundane errand locales AND cruising web sites and business offerings to share with my readers.

The physical 'newness' is one that will quickly pass as I navigate to and from the bank, library, lakes [I now live in a city with at least 4 lakes in it – yaaaaay!], grocery store, electronic/office supply chain [yes, I have to get my fix of that at least every other week] and so on. However, the 'newness' of viable internet business offerings is an entirely different matter.

First of all, I browse countless lead stories and articles for hours on a daily basis looking for legitimate offerings so that when I find something 'new' and solid, while being comparatively simple to integrate into an existing or start up online business, I'm always excited to investigate it further. However, finding 'new' and solid ways for the everyday person like myself to get involved in is becoming a rarity. The internet has become inundated with countless sites that boast and brag, “This is THE secret to success! You can make $100s of dollars instantly without doing anything except paying your membership money. . “ blah blah blah. Countless. In fact there are so many of these sites and so many people inviting me to these sites I'm beginning to get good at 'smelling' them before I even click on the link!

What is disturbing though, is the fact that many, many people are seriously looking to generate both passive and active income via the internet and quite a few of these websites are designed to take advantage of that fact. Because so many people are without jobs altogether, while others are struggling with income from low wage paying jobs and need additional financial 'flow' in order to exist more comfortably between paydays, the need for access to reliable income information and methods is crucial. Then there are the sensible people that are doing 'ok' with their current jobs and/or finances and are looking for ways to supplement their income as they venture into a self-employment modality. All things being equal, even the 'greedy' are looking for ways to make more money as safely and swiftly as possible without having to add an additional 5 to 10 hours to their working day [including travel, etc.]. Therefor, many unscrupulous and even just opportunistic 'business' ventures are being promoted to get the attention, commitment and investment of often times scarce 'excess' money in order to participate in a 'better' income generation vehicle as these 'businesses' claim to be. While posing as a legitimate business and offering 'secrets' or 'proven' methods of amassing great wealth is not illegal, in many cases it is extremely unethical!

There are the sites that 'insure' a rapid income growth and long term residual income if you simply join the 'network.' Here, the membership is generally free, and you earn 'points' for exchanging website information with other members. These are actually relatively good opportunities for marketing your goods or services however it should be noted that most other 'members' are looking to do the exact same thing and many are in the exact same financial predicament – swimming upstream in order to make it to higher ground and avoid drowning in a sea of debt!

Yet it is the sites that boast the 'priceless' package of training, marketing and product materials that are the absolute worse [in a lot of cases] when it comes to 'smoke and mirrors' in order to stupefy people into buying into their 'team!' Looking at these sties carefully, I find they offer 4 or 5 eBooks, 5 to 10 CDs or DVDs, 2 or 3 software programs, access to members only webinars, teleconferences, seminars, workshops and conventions all at the very low prices of $____. And that is the catch: for those that have that much time on their hands wherein they can read, view, study, internalize and put into practice all the pertinent information being offered by these 'opportunities' one may as well enroll in a local community college or certificate program! The college or cert program would prove to be a lot less stressful because you know up front what to expect to be taught, how much time it will take to get necessary assignments done and turned in, you have access to not only the instructors but counselors, classmates and tutors, etc. And there is the assured guarantee that at the successful completion of a business college course or certificate program there will be either a diploma, certificate of completion or degree!

Now don't misunderstand my position on all of this 'online wealth for the average Jane/Joe' business ventures: I'm not against them per se, I'm just leery that far too many naive or trusting individuals aren't carefully reading between the lines in order to recognize that the real benefit offered by these sites are at best, tips and tricks from seasoned internet business people and the opportunity to connect with others willing to pay for those tips and tricks! Some of the sites that I investigated actually have good references [and cost a pretty penny to join] and can offer some practical guidance to would be and start up entrepreneurs. However, those sites are few and far between. . .

If you're serious about working from home or working for yourself in a small business environment be honest with yourself regarding the skills you already have; the time you have to invest in gaining additional skills [if needed for the type of venture you wish to operate] and the cost of investing both your time and finances into training to become a successful business person. Then if you really would rather get training online by a 'seasoned' professional or even join an online community of business professionals or entrepreneurs by all means do so with your eyes wide open!

And for those of you that are REALLY in a hurry to get rich quick, stop by one of my websites and check out my affiliate or passive income programs: then for $99.99 [pay via PayPal] I'll personally provide you with one on one consulting/setup services which include unlimited email, blog and forum support!

In brief summary of what you've accomplished thus far, your preparations included: selecting a domain name and web host with a control panel that you're comfortable with [learning if you haven't began 'administrating' your site yet]; choosing the site layout along with the design software [unless you've previewed the hosts complementary design software and are comfortable with it] and lastly you've made the purchase of both the domain and site hosting [preferably in one package]. With all of these matters behind you and squared away let's proceed to the final aspects of setting up your business website!

  1. Utilizing your word processing software create some verbiage for your first page. That includes the 'about us,' 'our services' or 'our products, 'contact' information and a thank you note for visitors that sign up for your mailing list and/or sign your guest book. In the begining it's a good idea to draft anything that you plan to publish on your site in a word processor or even text editor so that you can gather your thoughts, allow your creativity to flow and make as many changes as necessary before opening your site design software or control panel! Generally, most computer/laptop users are familiar with either Word, OpenOffice or WordPerfect and this bit of familiarity can certainly work in your favor for draft purposes! Web sites are to be updated and perfected frequently and after 2 or 3 revisions in your site design software there won't be a need to do your drafts outside of the software: all changes, additions and tweaks can be made and saved in the design software without being published to the web.

  2. In order to publish your site from your desktop site editing software you'll need an 'ftp' [file transfer protocol] client. Most 'Basic' grade software comes with a pre-installed ftp feature and following the instructions for entering your server information [provided to you by your hosting company], password and site file location [referred to normally as a directory within the 'root(domain name)/public_html/directory(site file)'. This may appear complicated for the absolute beginner but trust me, it isn't complicated at all! Just a matter of following the steps provided in the software documentation or guide/user manual [with this 'Being Self-Employed' information open in a window next to it] and the bulk of the uploading is automatic. If using the site builder software provided by your hosting company, launching your site consists of accessing the software, adding your information [cut and paste from your draft at first] and clicking on the 'publish' button!

  3. Preview your newly published site and make note of where you want to place your 'shopping cart' or payment preference information. Most hosting companies provide eCommerce options at no additional charge for up to 15+/- items and many site design software programs offer an eCommerce tool. There are also some free eCommerce options available which you can upload to your server and link your 'market' page to. Two popular programs are OSCommerce and ShopScript Free. Once you've chosen your 'shopping cart' software, configure it with the products or services that you will be offering thru your website. Keep in mind that it's fine to star out with one or two items, as you will have plenty of time and site space to extend your offerings at a later date.

  4. The last and final step is actually comprised of two steps:

    1. Give thought to 'monetizing' your site by providing ad space to the major internet advertising promoters such as Google AdSense and LinkShare.

    2. Give thought to promoting your site in as many ways as possible: link and banner exchange programs; online forums and blog community announcements; pay per click and other marketing methods; email and electronic press releases are just some of the avenues you will want to take advantage of to draw traffic to our site.

Incorporating these 'Being Self Employed: How to Set-up a Business Website' tips and suggestions into your website creation and set-up with all of the other sound research that you have done will provide you with one option: success! Keep in mind that while your business may be 'online' and in 'cyberspace' the work involved and results netted will be 'real world' and therefor require real world expectations and effort.

Unless you're selling the only known autographed copy of Ben Franklin's 3rd grade performance summary don't expect to make zillions of dollars over night! Although with consistent promotional efforts, useful and/or unique products and services and the willingness to compete with others [as we do in every other aspect of life] you can make a very good living via an internet business website.
