Make Money Online With The Rich Jerk

Obviously, there are many ways to make money online. There is Adsense, AdWords and many other best ways to make money, but this took the cake. You must have gone through books and writings of Alex Mandossian, Dan Kennedy, Harvey Segal, Jason Potash Jay Abraham, Jeff Mulligan, Perry Marshall, Ralph Wilson, Robert Allen,, Willie Crawford, Jim Edwards, Joe Vitale, Ken Evoy, Lynn Terry, Mark Hendricks, Markus Allen, Marlon Sanders, Rosalind Gardner, Shelley Lowery, Stone Evans, Terry Dean, Vincent James, Willie Crawford and son and so forth but The Rich Jerk ?

No, this guy is definitely not from the usual league, yet he promises that Internet treasure chest

Now what are these so-called easy ways to make money and fastest way to make money, that you don't know of?

It becomes even more irritating by the number of posts displayed at webmasterworld, warriorforum, digiforum or whatever forum

The Rich Jerk claims and in most cases he is right to show how to find fastest ways to make money.

In fact you are contemplating alternate business opportunities where that can you make money. And you are even thinking of dabbling to make money in real estate or make money in stocks and Forex. Anything seemed to be better than make money online from home

Now we know that affiliate marketing is a safe and time-tested strategy for making money online. But this book, took the cake, the name and the razzmatazz

Besides, this was the book that initiated many a person into this make easy money mess…..

I had to get it whatever the cause.

Now what are these new PPC strategies, ClickBank strategies or Adsense strategies strategies to everyday wealth, that we don't know of already?

Besides, I was recently reviewing some profiles of some friends involved into affiliate marketing and noted that most of them face difficulties to make extra money, despite generating the usual amount of cash from their site. (I am not excluding myself from this privileged list)

One of the reasons is that we expect to make money fast. The other reason could be the strategies applied.

Now, characters such as The Rich Jerk who come out with such publications can only make, my make money from home, matters worse.

Mainly because, to the successful affiliate, it is always how much money can you make, and to the struggling affiliate it is always how do I make money online. That equation will not change

Imagine trying to get rich quick and how to make big money in a month.

Nonetheless, I was still curious.

You dabble in his newfound strategies and seemingly they work. All of a sudden you become more curious because your how to make extra money file is beginning to receive input

This book has got much attention recently, mainly because of the number of sales it has generated in such a short time.

Throughout he is absolutely arrogant, but then who cares. His methods are popular, they seemingly work and he has a huge fan following

His ideas work, mainly because his methods are easy and practical

Yes, the strategies highlight in the book, do generate quick cash, albeit short term.

Its becoming obvious that people have bought this course not because of any secret marketing systems, but because of the basic common sense strategies that has made him The Rich Jerk

The book is especially useful for newbies and once again, I highlight the fact, that it does show how to make easy money with an affiliate program.

Additionally, some of the methods are interesting to the seasoned affiliate as well.

Hope you Make Money Online With The Rich Jerk

Attract Money

Everyone wants to attract money! Take a look at the picture of coins......what do you see?

Coins? Yes.

Take a closer look.

Do you see the word "money" hidden in the coins. It is written vertically on the coins. Look again....

.....there it is! Money is everywhere. Waiting for us.

Not everyone realizes that there are some steps to manifesting money.

Here are my Top 10 Ways to Attract Money.

10. Know Exactly What You Desire. If you are not clear on what you want, how can you ever expect to create it?

Name it and claim it. Write down the amount of money that you want to manifest. You must know that this money is yours.

If you are doubting, then the chances of this money coming to you are slim. See yourself as if you are already in possession of the money.

$20,000 a month, what does that look like to you? What would you spend 20K on? Where will the money come from? (That doesn’t mean it must come from that place, it just gets the energy moving toward your money goal.)

9. Be Do Have
You must be the person that creates $20,000 a month. Move through your life as that person. You must BE the person first. Then DO what the person who creates 20K a month would do, to HAVE what they would have.

How would they make decisions?

Would they make decisions quickly or slowly?

Would they make their decisions based on their goal?

"Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly, Unsuccessful people make their decisions slowly and change their mind quickly" Andy Andrews

8. Understand Law of AbundanceThe Law of Abundance states that there is plenty to go around. More than enough money for everyone! It all starts with what you think and say about money. Speak positive money affirmations such as:

I attract money easily.

I am a magnet to money.

Money flows to me easily.

I have an abundance of money, I am able to give freely.

I am wealthy.

I enjoy my prosperity and enjoy sharing it.

My income continues to grow higher and higher.

I am passionate about building wealth.

I am in the process of being a millionaire.

7. Visualize Your Goal. Take a few minutes each day and see yourself in possession of your goal. Feel it!

Create a moving picture with images. I also add friends or family to a goal when I visualize, I see my husband, Bill telling me he’s proud I achieved my goal.

Or I picture my daughters cheering me on, “Go Mom! You can do it!” Visualization is a step that some people will leave out, it is a vital part of reaching your goal. Daily visualization will allow you to attract money (or whatever) into your life.

6. Flow Baby! You can create flow by understanding that money is energy and that energy must move!

Give a great donation, knowing it will return to you. When you give money to others, you are telling your subconscious that you have enough money to give and that you expect that money to return......and you will attract money.

5. Action! “Nothing happens until something moves.” Albert Einstein

When you have the internal nudge act on it. It is the small steps that create the BIG life.

Right now, when you look at your bank account, realize that is your past being reflected. You are taking new steps of action today that will create different results for you a month from now, 3 months, next year.

“It’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.” Carl Sagan

4. Stop The Monkey Chatter. When my minds goes to negatives, I stop myself immediately. Stay away from limiting beliefs. Replace it with a positive affirmation.

Examples of Limiting Beliefs About Money

We don’t have money for that.

I have to work hard for my money.

We can’t afford that.

That costs too much.....

Don’t speak into existence those words. Law of Attraction states that whatever you focus your attention and energy on, you create more of the same. Like attracts like.

Watch your words carefully! Speak of what you want!

3. Keep Moving Forward. Yes, there will be times in the desert. Allow those times to create a crystal clarity for you.......and then keep moving forward.......

.....Always moving toward your goal.

Sometimes, it may feel like one step forward, two back but continue to move forward. I have found that when I travel through the desert it is a necessary time to reach my goal.....in fact, it usually means I am very close to attaining my goal.

2. Don’t Hang Out With The Sinkers. You know the ones, right? The friends and family that drain your energy and money. Cut them loose.

The Law of Association says we become who we hang out with. Hang out with the people that are getting the results that you seek. You will feel refreshed and energizied by like minded people instead of physically and emotionally drained.

1. Follow Your Bliss! When you follow your passion, you will attract money. Love what you do! Be of service to others and money will find you. When you feel passion about what you do you will attract others to you. Let your bliss be your north star!

Manifesting Money

Manifesting Money can either be easy or difficult.

Easy?

Or....difficult?

If it is difficult, it usually stems from what we have heard from the time we were children around the family supper table from our parents, to being taught in school from most teachers that earn just a small portion of what they are worth.

A majority of children never have relationships with people that know how to create a wealthy lifestyle.

Have you ever heard yourself say the following:

We can’t afford that.

That costs too much.

I don’t have money for that.

I work hard for my money.

Where does my money go?

I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck.

These statements are all states of lack.

How in the world could you expect to start manifesting money with speaking these statements into existence?

It all starts with your thoughts, change your thoughts and words about manifesting money and your bank account will reflect your positive interaction with money.

Take a great look at your kids, they are great at attracting money!

We were on a family vacation in Hawaii. In the lobby of the resort, my oldest daughter, McKenna yells out, “Look what I found!” And there she had $20 in her hand.

The same thing when we were at the zoo standing at the coin press machine and I heard her say, “How could you miss that Mom?” Once again $20 in her hand(again!)

Now, we’ve affirmed over and over with her that she is great at manifesting money.

In fact, manifesting money comes easily to her.

Do your kids tend to receive money in cards? Money for holidays? Find money around the house?

They are natural magnets to money.

Think about it, have you ever really watched a four year old with a piggy bank, they are overjoyed when an adult digs into their pocket and hands them a few pennies!

Be childlike in how you receive money and you will start to manifest money fast!

Man, I'm overjoyed when I find money in the parking lot at the grocery store! Abundance everywhere!

Adults sometimes will take small change for granted as if it didn’t matter. I have a friend that I have seen throw away pennies. (Of course, I'm digging them out!) How can my friend ever expect to start manifesting money if it is so blatantly disrespected?

Be grateful for your pennies!

Make note when you find them.

Celebrate!

....This is a great sign that you are on the right attraction vibration with money. It starts with pennies then moves to bigger coins.

Next thing you know you start receiving money in the mail, from a family member, from a friend, you win a contest, receive a refund....whatever it is, money finds its way to you.

So, start with being truly grateful when you find a penny. Once again it comes back to being grateful for what you have right now before anything on a grander scale will come your way.

Another great way to change the way money is manifesting for you is to start with your money affirmations.

Great money manifesting affirmations are:

Wow! Isn’t it great all the wonderful things we can do with our money.

I am thankful I can help with my money.

I am a magnet to money.

Money flows easily to me.

My bank account is growing.

Change your statements of lack to statements of abundance and you will change your bank account!

The key to growing your bank account is believing you have the power to create money for yourself.

The Law of Abundance

The Law of Abundance is a universal law that says we have more than enough to meet our goals. Abundance is everywhere!

In our economy, people are always looking for ways to create more money in their life............so how do you use the Law of Abundance to create more?

In many ways, it works much like manifesting anything else through the Law of Attraction.

The first and most important thing is this: You have to change your ideas about money before it can manifest for you.

I can remember my dad and mom saying, "Do you think money grows on trees?” “I'm not made of money.” Or talking about the "filthy rich."

Our society teaches us that money is evil, and wanting money is wrong or that it is ungodly to want more money, that it is more noble to be poor, even while most of us spend our lives working to make more money.

Like anything else in life, money is not of itself evil, and lots of good can be done with it.

Before you can manifest money in your life, you have to reach the acceptance that money is good.....that you can do great things with it! Have you ever really taken a good look at your money?

Money is really just ink on paper.

But, Oh! that ink on paper can be your champion or your downfall!

Once you understand that all things are made up of energy, you begin to see money through a different perspective.

Money is currency and currency is energy.

$100 spent shopping will circulate the currency.

That $100 of energy received by someone will allow them to either circulate that currency by using it, keep it, or give it away.

Energy flows!

So how do we live the Law of Abundance and create more money?

It all starts with what we believe about money.

Law of Abundance Affirmations

Law of Abundance Affirmations

It is important to have powerful Law of Abundance affirmations to attract money to you. Some examples are:

I earn $____ a month doing things I love and enjoy.

I love having money.

I love spending money on my favorite causes.

I love the freedom of having money.

I have $______ for my new home.

I always have everything I really need.

I am open to receive money.

I give generously to myself and others.

Pick out your own Law of Abundance affirmation that accurately describes what you are seeking.

No matter what affirmation you select, make sure you repeat it often, and write it out several times a day.

I keep mine on the fridge so I'm reminded everytime I hang out in our kitchen.

It's important to be specific about the amount of money you are seeking to manifest.

Develop specific fantasies about what you will do with the money you manifest.

Will you get new clothes?

Visualize yourself shopping, trying on the clothes, and paying for them with cash.

Plan it out. How about watching your bank account grow?

What would you spend your money on? Family trip? New car? Helping out a family member?

Be generous in your fantasies and also out there in real life.

Give more then usual to your favorite charities and causes, and picture in your mind giving them a lot more when your desired income is manifested.

"Give and you shall receive." By giving, you are keeping the money flowing and it turn the money comes back to you!

Keep in mind that you get what you concentrate on- if you have no money fantasies going, then you are probably not dreaming enough. Let the Law of Abundance work for you!

Stop allowing your circumstances right now to squelch your dream.

What if money were not a factor?

What would you want?

Think Big!

Do you ever decide what you want based on what you think you can have....your home, the car you drive, the college your child attends, what restaurants you eat at...you get the idea!!

Take away the money factor and look at what you really want.

If you are not sure what you want, it will make it much less likely that the money will manifest in your life, or it will take longer to manifest.

Take the time to decide what it is you really want and only you know for sure.

Keep in mind that you have lived all your life with your old beliefs concerning money.

You may find yourself fighting against these old beliefs, and having a difficult time releasing these old beliefs.

If you can't release them, then the manifesting process may stop until you can move past them.

I find it helps to journal about old limiting beliefs and then to cross out my old beliefs and write my new ones.

For example, I once had an old belief that I should have to “work hard for money.”

Once I got rid of that old belief and replaced it with the belief that “money flows easily to me through my service to others” that my bank account started to reflect my new prosperous thoughts.

Remember also, that manifesting through the Law of Abundance rarely happens immediately, and it may take a few months for your new prosperity to appear.

This is because we all change at our own pace. It is alright to take your time changing.

As long as you are willing to continue changing, you can know that more money is on its way to you. Everyone is on their own journey and it just takes one step at a time toward your prosperous goal.

Attracting Money

Unless you are living in a cave in Timbuktu, you cannot miss noticing how things are getting more expensive these days. Money earned never seemed to catch up with the increasing standard of living. Thus for many, having more money is very important to keep up with the living standards. Attracting money into your life is not simple positive thinking or just plain wishful thinking.

If you think that you can attract money by just thinking very hard everyday that “I have $1 million in my bank” and then just sit there like dork, you are sadly mistaken and are going to be disappointed. Even striking the lottery could not happen, as you did not even take the action to go buy a ticket! All the positive thinking is just a start ( but nevertheless important). It sets your mindset right and prepares you with a correct focus to work towards your goal.

Remember, opportunities come and go around you due to the law of attraction, but will you grab hold of the correct opportunity and take the correct actions? One of the actions you have to take is educating yourself.

What do I mean? It means that if you want to grab a opportunity, you must do your homework first. Educate yourself with the knowledge about the opportunity and not just take it at face value. Talk to people, read books, research online etc…

Here’s a good example :

Have you heard people talking about prices going up and how hot the share market is? These are the ever green hot topics that most working adults talk about during their lunch. You probably hear stories of how people make thousands overnight by just selling some of these shares. Hearing these stories probably get you so excited that you want to rush out and join in the action. But stop, these stories do not give you the complete picture. Behind those successful trades, these investors are probably savvy and knowledgeable on how to play the market. They do their homework on companies before they buy the shares and they study the share movements on the market for probably some time now.

Attracting money is not just wishful thinking. It requires making a smart decision and taking the correct action.

Five tips to attracting money

Morgana Rae

1)Appreciate money. Appreciate even the smallest denomination. Think of how good you feel when you are valued for even a small gesture. It's the same with money. Every time you practice receiving and appreciating, you train the universe to send you more.

2) Strengthen your boundaries. Have the courage to say ''yes'' to what you want and ''no'' to what you don't want. Clear the clutter and energy drains in your life. Strong boundaries build your self esteem and free you to focus on what is important to you. This is very attractive to money.

3) Make a wish list. List one hundred things you would buy if money were no object. The items on your list put what you want on your radar. Through a mental process called reticular activation, your mind will start to discover opportunities to manifest the items on your list.

4) Manage your money. The better you manage what you have, the better able you will be to manage more. Get in the habit of diverting a percentage of your income into a wealth-building account, even if you are paying down debt. And set aside something for your favorite charities--nothing builds a sense of abundance like the ability to give to others.

5) Surround yourself with successful people. You take on traits of the people you spend the most time with. If you want to be financially free, spend your time with financially successful people who share your values. Identify rich people you admire. Pick up their mindsets and practices for enlightened wealth building.

Morgana Rae, Master Results Coach and creator of Financial Alchemy, is president of Charmed Life Coaching, a successful life and business coaching company that guides clients to attract more than they chase. A popular speaker and frequent television and radio guest, Morgana was featured as a millionaire mindset expert in the soon to be released feature film, "Millionaire-Awaken Your Secret" with Robert Allen, Mark Victor Hansen and Christopher Gardner.

Affirmations for Attracting Money

Attracting money? Like with a magnet? Yes. We attract things to us based on what we believe ourselves to be. If we believe that money is evil then we'll never have much. If we believe that being successful requires that someone else be unsuccessful, then we won't be successful.

In this article Jeff is going to show us how to build on what we learned in the previous two articles to use out positive, daily affirmations to attract more good things, in this case it's money, into our lives.

"How Can I Use Affirmations to Attract Money and Material Possessions?"

- By Jeff Staniforth

So you desire to gain material things in life? Affirmations are usually effective in this respect - maybe even more so than with other desires because material desires often come with stronger emotional attachments.

You'll recall that in my previous article, "Why Do Some Affirmations *Work* - and Others Don't?" I emphasized that affirmations that are emotionally charged are the ones most likely to work. So when you are emotionally connected to your desire for material things, you can use the power of affirmations to see how quickly your need is manifested!

Power Affirmations for Attracting Money. If your desire is to have an abundance of money to fill your needs, practice this affirmation: "I always have an abundance of money to meet all my needs."

Repeat it several times, then stop affirming. Be silent while knowing, visualizing, and feeling how it is to already have the amount of money you desire. Feel as though it has already happened, and that all your needs are more than satisfied. While in this state, hold yourself open to all the ways and means by which you will have money flow into your life to meet your every need.

Following are other power affirmations for abundant supply. Choose the affirmations that feel appropriate to you --those that resonate with you, or strike an emotional chord.

It is important that the words feel comfortable to you and are in line with who you are. Feel free to create one for your specific need by substituting other words that have special meaning to you:

Affirmations of Abundant Supply:

* I am now open to receive.
* Life is easy, I have an abundance of whatever I need.
* I now have surplus, all my needs are being met.
* I have unlimited abundance.
* I now give and receive freely.
* This is a rich universe and there is plenty for all of us.
* I now live in a rich and loving universe.
* Money comes to me easily and effortlessly.
* I am always supplied with whatever I need.
* I move forward with an expectancy of my greatest good.
* I look for and receive a bountiful supply.
* My greatest good is coming to me NOW.

The last affirmation was a turning point for me personally.

I've since created about 20 variations of this affirmation, and created a screen saver I call "My Ideal Relationship With Money". And, for a limited time only, I am giving this "Invest in your future" screen saver away for Free when you purchase the Sculptor 3 program. For details, click here.

TIP: How to Maintain the Emotional Charge of Your Affirmations

Most people who practice affirmations experience the challenge of maintaining the emotional charge of their affirmations. That's because although the power of thought is amazingly strong, it remains strong for a short period of time. Its quality changes and tends to diminish with each repetition.

For example: Suppose you recite an affirmation such as: "All my needs are met instantaneously." The affirmation produces a feeling, and you understand and connect with the affirmation at a certain level. But when you continue repeating the affirmation, "All my needs are met instantaneously," again and again, the thought seldom maintains the same level of emotion previously achieved.

With each repetition, you tend to lose the mental picture of what the words mean, and they start to have less meaning.

Affirmations that are meaningless fail to reach deep enough to touch the limitless powers of your subconscious mind.

To prevent this from happening, I've developed the software program called Sculptor 3, which combines affirmations with 7 of the best results-amplifying technologies that are tested and proven to increase the power and speed of manifestation. Discover how to tap into the power of computerization to take the power of your affirmations to the highest level.

Each issue contains powerful sample affirmations that have been tested and proven to get results.

Increase Your Income

So, how can you increase your income? Well, you can either look at more ways to make money or you can look at ways to reduce spending.

You should already have examined your spending , and taken steps to reduce unnecessary spend.

You will also have worked out your budget , further trimming outgoings so as to create a balance available for repaying debt.

From this you will probably have already increased your disposable income a little already.

But perhaps you are still struggling to find enough to pay all your creditors because you still have a shortfall on your budget and need to fill that gap? Maybe your budget is so tight that you worry you will find it difficult to maintain.

Or it could be that you have a little to pay all your debts but you would like to pay more in order to reduce the overall amount of time it will take you to repay them.

Maybe you just want to increase your income a little more in order to ease the pressure or to save.

Whatever your situation let’s take a look at some more options to help raise money or increase your income.

Welfare Benefits

You should begin by finding out if you are entitled to any welfare benefits that you are not currently receiving.

In the UK, for example, If your income is low you may be entitled to Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit that would help with your housing costs.

If you do not live in the UK you might contact your local government, welfare or benefit office, or search the web to see what benefits are available in your area.

You might be entitled to help with your child care costs if you are working. Once again if you in the UK and are working on a low income you may be entitled to Tax credits.

It is worthwhile applying for any benefits that you might be entitled to even of you think that you will not receive very much. When you are working to get out of a debt situation, every little bit helps, believe me.

Employment

Do you have some spare time in the evenings, weekends, or during school hours? If so, an obvious way to increase your income on a regular basis is to consider finding a part-time job.

Or does your current job offer the possibility of overtime, if so, could you do a few more hours?

If you are not earning enough from your current employer, you could consider looking for another position that would pay better. Keep your eyes open for higher paid opportunities and actively search by using the internet, buying newspapers and reading the jobs section, and registering with local job and employment agencies.

Sometimes working as a temporary employee through an agency pays a better hourly rate than a permanent position. Of course, there are downsides to this such as no sick pay, maternity, or holiday entitlements; no company pension (although many of those are not by any means guaranteed these days anyway); and you are not guaranteed to be working every week.

However, I have a couple of friends who work through employment agencies on supposedly 'temporary' contracts who do very well, they work almost every week of the year and remain with the same employer for very long terms, so it might be worth considering, especially if you are currently out of work, building a part-time business or not concerned with long-term security.

Would re-training help?

Look for night classes, college courses, or free training days that might give you the qualifications or experience needed to improve your job or promotion prospects.

If you are looking to further your career, change jobs or simply find a job, you could increase your chances of success by visiting the e-Resumes website to learn how best to create a good CV or resume, present yourself for jobs and other tips.

Your Home

If you own your own home and have a spare room, perhaps you could increase your income every month by considering letting it out to help with costs.

If this sounds interesting but you are unsure about taking permanent or long-term lodgers then you could look into the possibility of student exchange programs or short term lets.

Self-Employment

Do you have any skills that you could employ to create a small part-time business (home typing; gardening; babysitting; crafts; coaching or tutoring, etc? Or you could try joining a reputable and established network marketing programme.

Perhaps you spend a lot of time at home and use a computer. How about building a website to help create a passive income source? You could sell your own goods and services or you could make use of affiliation programs related to your passion or hobby to increase your income.

This website was created using SBI which I highly recommend as it not only offers all the tools you require, but it also provides education on all aspects of your website from providing content and building pages to optimization and much more. It also provides a wealth of tools to help you get your website listed, to get the best from keywords and templates. If you are new or inexperienced this is an ideal way to build a professional website and even experienced webmasters use the SBI system.

For more information on SBI click here.

There is more advice and tips on working from home at "Work From Home Advice for You" . Take a look.

Sell Your Unwanted Items

You could raise some cash by clearing out your home and collecting up your unused or unwanted items such as CD’s, books, electrical goods, clothing, extra furniture and furnishings, etc, to sell off.

You could hold a garage sale, advertise in a local shop, sell at a car boot sale, or advertise on a reputable auction site such as eBay.

Of course, unless you are a massive magpie, this will not increase your income on a regular basis, but it could raise a lump sum or two that you could use to towards your debts or savings.

And whenever you have a clear out in the future don't blindly throw away unwanted items, always think about whether you could raise some cash by putting it up for auction or collect towards your nest car boot sale. I've even seen many broken items advertised on eBay for spares and repairs, so you never know - one person's junk is often another's treasure.

Other Creative Ideas

If you are really stuck and don’t have many other options here is a slightly more creative way to increase your income, even if it's only by a small amount - it's relatively painless and free.

If you have a savings account, preferably with a reasonable interest rate some online accounts give good rates), you could put aside the money for your bills each month then arrange to have your bill payments go out at a set date and make some interest on those bills before you pay them.

For example, the majority of my income comes in early in the month usually, so I deposit my expenses into my savings account and arrange for my bills to be paid at the end of the month.

This means that I am getting interest on that money for almost a month before I pay it out. It may not seem a fortune, but it adds up, so if you leave the interest in there and only withdraw back out the amount you need to cover those bills (or have them paid directly from your savings account if you have that facility) then the interest will also attract interest and over time you could build up a small sum that you would not otherwise have had.

And the beauty of it is that you built this little pot from money that you would normally be putting straight into your creditors’ pocket. Sweet!

And finally...

I hope these ideas to increase your income have whetted your appetite. You may have found something here that is just what you were looking for or perhaps these suggestions have helped inspire some thoughts of your own.

Whatever your own situation I sincerely hope that this series has been useful to you and that you will be able to make use of some of the suggestions to help get your finances back on track and get yourself debt-free.

It may take some discipline and some time but it will be well worth it for your pocket and your peace of mind.

Everything Is An Expression Of The Same Thing

Everything in this entire universe is connected to everything else in this entire universe, through the Law of Vibration. Just as the colors in a rainbow are connected in such a way that you are not able to tell where one color stops and the other begins, so too are you unable to distinguish where one “thing” starts and another one stops. Everything in this universe is connected to everything else in this universe, just as the water that boils is connected to the steam into which it transmutes, and the steam is connected to the ether or air into which it changes. You too are connected to everything in the universe.

Whether you can see it with the naked eye or not is unimportant. The only physical difference which exists between one thing and another, relates to the density or the amplitude of their vibration. Therefore, as soon as you choose certain thoughts, your brain cells are affected. These cells vibrate and send off electromagnetic waves. When you concentrate on those thoughts, you increase the amplitude of vibration of those cells, and the electric waves, in turn, become much more potent. Know that it is you who is originating those electric waves and know that you are also determining the density of them by your own free will. You must also know, since you are originating these electric waves, your whole being is being put in that particular vibration. We have already covered the point that two objects may be of entirely different material and shape, and yet still be in Resonance.

This is due to the fact their ultimate magnetic fields are the same, because they are within the same sphere of relative motion. (Keep in mind that resonance is the factor governing the transmutation of vibrations.) When you hold the image of your goal on the screen of your mind, in the present tense, you are vibrating in harmony (in resonance) with every particle of energy necessary for the manifestation of your image on the physical plane.

By holding that image, those particles of energy are moving toward you (attraction) and you are moving toward them— because that is the law. All things are merely manifestations of energy or Spirit. When the world comes to understand this great truth, we will be aware that all people are the same; they only appear to be different. The true dividing lines for mankind are not borders, color or language, b ut simply ignorance and its polar opposite, understanding.

Everything Is Energy, Everything Vibrates

For you to gain a better awareness of how you are to take control over your results (i.e. to better understand how and why the thoughts and things come into your life as they do), you must go back to the basic premise with which we started: namely, everything vibrates and nothing stands still. There is, in truth, no such thing as inertia. Scientists today support this thesis and every new scientific discovery tends to lend even more credibility to it. However, by virtue of your Free Will and the many other mental factors in your marvelous mind, you have the Co-Creative ability to cause vibratory changes to take place at your bidding in your life. The cause for our lack of ability to exercise this tremendous power for good is nothing other than our own ignorance about the Law of Vibration.

Let There Be Light—Your Connecting Link
Slowly but surely, let us see with our inner eye of understanding, how you may “connect” with the good that you desire, to improve the quality of your own life. Two objects whose electromagnetic fields are the same are operating on the same frequency. Therefore, we can say they are in resonance, in harmony, or in rapport. When two objects are in resonance or vibrating at the same speed, the vibratory rate may be transmitted from one to the other through the medium of the electron. (“Resonance” as a field of study, is concerned with the electromagnetic fields surrounding objects.) For example, we find a globe in a chandelier will vibrate when in resonance with a certain key on a piano; yet it will not vibrate to any other note on the piano keyboard. The two objects under discussion are composed of entirely different material and they have completely different shapes. Still, they are in resonance with one another, due to the fact their ultimate magnetic fields are the same. They are within the same sphere of relative motion, and this holds true, irrespective of their size, shape, or the elements of which they are composed. All electromagnetic waves, or quantums, have their own particular rate or frequency, which corresponds to the number of changes in direction they make per second.

The electromagnetic wave spectrum is simply a “Scale of Vibration,” and it is subdivided into specific regions. Nevertheless, one must always remember these regions are not actual divisions, but merely arbitrary spaces covering frequencies that manifest in our senses in different ways. Each region actually “blends” into the one above and the one below, and in truth, there are no definite lines of demarcation.

The Brain — The Body

The human body, believe it or not, is one of the most efficient electrical instruments in this entire universe. The human brain, similarly, is probably the most efficient electrical instrument ever created. Both are truly marvels.

The brain is the part of the body where all manner of frequencies are transformed from one frequency level into another. In the brain, for example, sensations are transformed into muscular action. Sound, heat, light and thought are also, each in their turn, transformed into other frequencies, each affecting the body.

Within the brain there are centers which control and regulate the functioning of all organs and parts of the body. By means of the proper stimulation of these centers, the functioning of the organs may thereby be controlled. In our seminars, we refer to this phenomenon as the vibratory control of the body.
In the final analysis, the brain is simply a vibratory instrument. To begin to understand its functioning you must undertake the study of the Law of Vibration.

Since the early 1940’s, we have had at our disposal the EEG (electroencephalograph), which reads the electrical activity of the brain, and the ECG (electrocardiograph), which traces the electrical changes which occur during heart contractions. Therefore, vibrations are certainly not something which are new to us. Indeed, all of us have an awareness of them. However, the problem which we encounter is that the vast majority of people are not aware of the connection between their vibrations and their results in life.

It is, unfortunately, a very common sight to see people in bad or confused vibrations, busily attempting—through force—to achieve good results. However, due to the negative vibration which they are in, they are continually being bombarded by all manner of negative people and situations, which by law, are being attracted to them. Consequently, at some point, their battle must become overwhelming for them.

These people may be likened to a person who is jumping off the top of a building, and trying to go up, at one and the same time. The result, in either case, would be equally predictable and equally disastrous.

Positive And Negative Personalities

“The mind in itself and in its own place can make a hell out of heaven or a heaven out of hell.”
John Milton

People, as a rule, can be classified as positive personalities (optimists) or negative personalities (pessimists). Those individuals who are positive in their thoughts always tend to look upon the brighter side of life. With their faces turned toward the sunshine, they attempt to see the good, even in the bad. Such individuals habitually think thoughts of a positive nature and they are a blessing to the world.

They are in a “Positive Vibration,” and therefore attract other positive personalities to them. Negative personalities, on the other hand, habitually look upon the dark, gloomy, and depressing side of life. Even the good holds some bad for them. They dwell on the bad and the negative. They think about it, anticipate it, expect it, and invariably they receive what they have been seeking. Due to the negative vibration which they keep themselves in, they of course attract other miserable personalities to them. As you are already aware, “misery loves company.” Their state of mind can be compared to the person who, upon being asked how he felt, said, “I feel alright today, but I might feel bad tomorrow.”

Negative personalities are depressing to everyone around them. Their faces take on the expression, in physical form, of the negative thoughts which they are holding in their minds. Each day, one can observe such individuals passing on the street. No cheer, no joy radiates from them— just gloom, frowns and hostility. Having created their own hell for themselves, they seem to enjoy wallowing in it. The law of Polarity and Relativity states that for every positive there is an equal and opposite negative. Therefore, both of these personality types are necessary, so you can develop the awareness to distinguish one from the other, and in that manner, choose the one which will advance you in life.

You do have Free Will. You can choose which of these two personality types you wish to adopt. Therefore, if a person is constantly negative, but tires of that state, the person may, through awareness and proper effort, change himself into a positive personality type of individual. Understand this—The Law of Vibration will give people the awareness they require, to make the personality changes they desire.

Vibration

To vibrate means: “to move backwards and forwards, to oscillate, to shake, to quiver, to swing, to waver, to cause to quiver.”

To obtain a more graphic conceptualization of the idea of Vibration, just stretch out one of your arms straight in front of you. Then hold it perfectly still. While you are holding it still and are unable to perceive any motion in that arm at all, know that the electrons which compose the arm, are moving, shaking, quivering, or vibrating, at the rate of 186,300 miles per second. The arm appears still to you, but in reality it is in a constant state of motion. Of course, although such motion is imperceptible to the naked eye, under a high-powered microscope it would become very apparent, indeed.

Now, begin to shake your arm. You, yourself, are now causing the arm to vibrate. It was already vibrating of its own accord, in obedience to the Law of Vibration (which teaches that everything is in constant motion). But you have stepped up, or increased, the rate of that vibration. You have pushed down on the vibratory accelerator pedal, as it were.

The Law of Vibration and Attraction

“Any idea that is held in the mind that is either feared or revered will, begin at once to clothe itself in the most convenient and appropriate physical forms available.”
Andrew Carnegie
Dr. Wernher von Braun
In an interview held with Dr. Wernher von Braun in February of 1976, Dr. von Braun was quoted as follows: “After years of probing the spectacular mysteries of the universe, I have been led to a firm belief in the existence of God. The grandeur of the cosmos serves only to confirm my belief in the certainty of a creator. I just cannot envision this whole universe coming into being without something like divine will.

The natural laws of the universe are so precise that we have no difficulty building a spaceship to fly to the moon and can time the flight with the precision of a fraction of a second. These laws must have been set by somebody.” Dr. von Braun went on to say, that “science” and “religion,” properly understood, are not antagonistic pursuits. On the contrary, he affirmed, they are “sister disciplines.” Through the scientific method, one learns more about “creation,” whereas, by virtue of the study of religion, one gains a greater insight into the “creator.” By employing the tools of science, man attempts to harness the forces of nature which surround him; through religion, on the other hand, he endeavors to control the “forces of nature,” which are at work within him. After a brief pause, he added, “There would not be a single great accomplishment in the history of mankind without faith ...

Any person who strives to accomplish something needs a degree of faith in himself and when he takes on a challenge that requires more and more moral strength than he can muster, he needs faith in God.” Years before anyone would accept the idea of a man travelling to the moon and back, Dr. von Braun was asked, “What would it take to make a rocket to reach the moon.” He replied simply, “The will to do it.” von Braun was, clearly, a brilliant man who possessed a great understanding of life and a tremendous awareness of the laws of the universe. In fact, he is considered, by many experts in the field, to be the “Father” of the space program. Like all great achievers, he had gained a profound insight into the “spiritual” laws of life, and one of those laws is the Law of Attraction. This is the law I would like to delve into now. Indeed, an understanding of this particular law is actually the key to understanding this entire book. The reason this is so, is that “The Law of Attraction” is the underlying principle which governs the level of your personal prosperity.

However, to help you achieve a really solid grasp of this concept, it will be necessary for us to focus briefly on another law; namely, the “Law of Vibration.” The Law of Vibration accounts for the difference between mind and matter; between the physical and the nonphysical worlds. According to the Law of Vibration, we postulate that everything vibrates or moves; nothing sits idle. Everything is in a constant state of motion, and therefore, there is no such thing as “inertia”, or a state of rest. From the most ethereal, to the most gross form of matter, everything is in a constant state of vibration.

Moving from the lowest to the highest degree of vibration, we discover there are literally millions upon millions of intervening levels or degrees; from the electron to the universe, everything is in vibratory motion. (Energy is manifested in all the varying degrees of vibration.) “Rates of vibration” are called “frequencies,” and the higher the frequency, the more potent the force. Since thought is one of the highest forms of vibration, it is very potent in nature and therefore, it must be understood by all of us. Now, the Law of Vibration may be explained in many different ways, depending upon the purpose for which it is being explained. In this chapter, however, it is our intention to confine our inquiry to thoughts alone, so we may thereby improve our understanding of the Law of Attraction.

As A Man Thinketh

“As you think, that is what you become,” should be kept in the forefront of our minds constantly. For when you expect something wonderful to happen, that is watching and praying without ceasing. At those times when we are not feeling quite up to par physically or our mind is becoming clouded with doubt, we should realize it is time to pray with all the more conviction or work at developing a stronger feeling of expectation. You must guard your mind constantly against doubt, because it is a crippling vibration.

Whereas most of the preceding pages have been dedicated to the power of positive thoughts (namely, the building of the image of prosperity), doubt is the flip side of the coin (i.e. negative thinking). And, when you are entertaining doubts, what you are actually doing is creating images of the things you don’t want. Moreover, justifying your doubt to yourself by originating reasons for it (i.e. rationalizing), will do you absolutely no good. You cannot strike a bargain with your subconscious mind, because the subconscious has no sense of fairness, no sense of humor, and it cannot even determine what is good or what is bad for you. Every image just IS, to the subconscious mind. Therefore, your negative, worrisome and doubtful images will be accepted just as quickly and as willingly as will your images of prosperity. The instant you become aware you are entertaining thoughts which create doubt, become quiet, start relaxing and image yourself already in possession of the prosperity you desire.

When you do this, you are altering the mental current which is flowing into your marvelous mind. Expect, with all of your consciousness, to receive your good in your material world—“You think in secret and it comes to pass, environment is but your looking glass.” James Allen wrote those words three-quarters of a century ago, but they are still true today and they will always remain true in the future. So program your “personal computer” to expect good results and that is exactly what you will receive.

The Lightbulb Tale

The following story should help underscore this great truth about your infinite source of supply. Visualize, if you will, a poor couple who have spent their entire lives living in the “backwaters” of civilization. Then imagine them suddenly transported to a small village where, to their astonishment, they discover that their new home is being lighted by “electricity.” Since they have had no previous experience with that force—in fact they have never even seen an electric light before, they are completely mesmerized by the little eight candlepower electric bulbs which light their home. Several months pass by and eventually the couple start to regard the light-bulbs as an accepted facet of modern life.

However, one day a smooth-talking salesman appears at their door, telling them their eight candlepower electric bulbs are no longer adequate for their needs. He tells them they should buy the new sixty candle-powered bulbs which have just “come on the market.” Since the couple has now become slightly more adventuresome, they agree to let the salesman demonstrate his “newfangled” product. As soon as the new bulb is plugged in and the electricity turned on, the couple becomes transfixed once again; for not only does the new bulb emit a light, it actually illuminates the entire room.

Never in their wildest fantasies had the couple ever imagined that the source of the new flood of illumination had been there all the time. Nor had they realized this enormously increased light could originate from the same current which fed their little eight candlepower bulb. It’s strange! We smile at the naiveté demonstrated by this poor couple, but the truth is, most of us are even less aware of our own power, than this couple was of the power of electric current. For like the couple in the story, we never even dream that the infinite current which surrounds us could flood our lives with a light more magnificent than the most powerful light bulb ever devised. We never grasp the simple truth that all we need to do to improve our results is to plug a larger, more prosperous idea into the infinite current of life. Instead, most of us strangle our supply with energy-impoverished thoughts of doubt and fear, which entirely cutoff the inflow of prosperity. I want to exhort you, therefore, to resolve to change your habitual pattern of thinking now. That’s right, change it now, and remember, the stream of plenty always flows towards the open, expectant mind.

You must understand you already have in substance, if not in physical form, everything necessary to produce prosperity in your material world. The two determining factors for you to attain the results you want are:
1) desire, and
2) expectation.
Up to this point you might have been living the way the masses live their entire lives, simply because you are harboring the false assumption that desire is the only thing which you need to reach your goal. But you must understand, if your desire is not combined with the expectation that you will receive what you desire, you will find yourself continually frustrated and disappointed whenever you begin working toward any kind of material goal. When you cast your mind back over the experiences of your own life, you will soon realize that whenever you did reach a desired goal, you not only desired that goal but you actually expected to attain it as well. Let me repeat—desire without expectation is nothing more than wishful thinking and as we have already pointed out, since the vast majority of people wish positive but expect negative, they seldom attain what they are after. In his magnificent book The Science of Getting Rich, the author, Wallace D. Wattles, gave us an excellent definition of “desire.”

He said: “Desire is the effort of the unexpressed possibility within seeking expression without through your action.” In other words, your ideal, dream or goal—this wealth you wish to see materialize—can only become a desire once it has been properly planted in the subconscious mind. However, once your desire has been firmly established, it is the expectant attitude which ensures that your goal or dream is not uprooted or replaced by any opposing or competing ideas. In an effort to help you kindle this expectant attitude toward “real wealth,” let us journey together through some of the preceding chapters in this book. As you will remember, we began by discussing “money.” We attempted to understand the “true nature” of money and we arrived at the conclusion it is a “useful, obedient servant.” However, like all servants, we learned it is useful to us only when it is being employed. Therefore, we concluded, money must always be kept working or otherwise circulating.

For if it is not, as we have already mentioned, it will become as useless as old newspapers stashed away in an attic. Next, we explored the idea relating to exactly “how much money you want.” You become aware of the fact it is necessary to be very specific about how much money you need, to provide the things you want, to live in the style you choose. Once this figure had been decided upon, we then examined the importance of building the image of ourselves already in possession of this wealth, on the screen of our conscious mind. We also talked briefly about the manner in which images are formed and the role they play in our lives. Then we examined the idea of “consciousness” and how it was imperative to develop the prosperity which we seek in our mind first, before we can ever attain it in our bankbooks. We learned how we had to bathe our subconscious minds in a concept of prosperity and how we had to see wealth as being already in our possession. In the chapter “Let Go And Let God,” we became aware we were co-creators. We became aware of how we had, in our conscious mind, the ability to choose any thoughts we wanted, to build any images which we chose to build.

We then learned how we could turn that image over to our subconscious mind (the spiritual center of our being, and that part of us which takes any idea or image we give to it, then willingly accepts it and instantly begins to move it into physical form in our world). We discovered that when we truly understand this creative process of life and our role in it expectation becomes a natural mind-set, regardless of how things might appear in our outside world or what others might be saying to us. We were told this absolute and unshakeable faith or belief in the fact that our images are moved into form, is essential if we are to become successful in our lives. We also gained an awareness that all of this will happen once we begin to see ourselves as nonphysical entities encased in physical bodies. Once we realize our bodies are nothing other than the physical manifestation of our nonphysical selves, we will understand they are obedient servants of our mind, and they move and have their being according to the vibratory rate of our minds. You must reach the stage in your mental development where you don’t just believe that your image of material wealth will manifest in form, but you actually know it will. It is at that point you will begin to expect to receive the physical expression of your image of wealth. No one and no thing will be able to cause you to see in your mind anything but that.

Always remember, the truth is not always in the appearance of things. An elderly, wealthy gentleman being interviewed by a newspaper reporter was asked at what point he became successful. His answer was, “I was successful when I was sleeping on a park bench because I knew where I was and I knew where I was going.” At this juncture in the book, you know where you are and you know where you are going. So expect to get there! Your desire is the motorpower which will move you in the direction of your dream and expectation is the attractive force that will move your dream in your direction. So see yourself moving toward the wealth you visualize and see the wealth you visualize being attracted to you. Know that you will come in contact with the wealth that is moving to you, and at the right time. No one knows what period of time must elapse, so don’t become impatient if it doesn’t materialize “overnight.” All we know for sure is a certain period of time must elapse and the period of time which your image must take to materialize is governed by the law of gender. The law of gender decrees there is a gestation or incubation period for the manifestation of all seeds, and, make no mistake about it, the image of wealth you chose to build on the screen of your conscious mind and then turned over to your subconscious mind is a seed; and it is growing into physical form, in the most fertile field of which you could ever conceive.

It is not necessary, at this point, for anyone else to see this new wealth. It is not even necessary for anyone else to believe you will receive it. The only thing necessary is that you see it and you believe it. You see, the premise that Napoleon Hill built his life’s work on is absolutely true—anything the mind can conceive and believe, it will achieve. Expressed another way, “As a person thinketh in their heart, so are they.” (The early Greeks referred to the subconscious mind as the heart.) Note that your subconscious mind can no more change or alter your image, than an ordinary mirror can reflect back to you an image different than the object you are holding in front of it. But remember, as you think so are you, does not mean as you tell people you think or as you would wish the world to believe you think; it means your innermost thoughts, which only you control, know the truth. That is what you expect, so that is what you attract and that is what you will ultimately receive! Through studying the power of your subconscious mind, or studying in depth the power or modus operandi of Spirit, it will become easier and easier for you to come to expect the good you desire. For all things are possible in Spirit, because in its original state, Spirit is a sensitive, unseen, creative substance whose sole purpose is expansion and fuller expression; in other words, “growth.”

However, spirit or creative substance, can only reproduce, expand and express itself in a greater way in accordance with the limitation placed upon the instrument through which it expresses itself. Since Spirit is flowing to and through you, you are the instrument. Therefore, the image or the ideas you hold in your mind dictate the limits which are placed on the spiritual power flowing to and through you. In this respect, you may be compared to the light bulb the elderly couple had in their home. You are an instrument through which spirit flows, just as a light bulb is an instrument through which electricity flows. When the old couple plugged in the eight candlepower bulbs, the electricity was limited in its expression by the power of the bulb. However, when the salesman plugged in the 60 candlepower bulb, the electricity was free to express itself to a greater degree, and yet even then it was limited by the form through which it flowed; namely, the new bulb. A 100 candlepower bulb would have permitted an even greater expression, and so on and so on. Therefore, if you held an image of poverty, that is what you will have seen expressed in your results or your material world. However, since you are now holding an image of prosperity, that is the image you will see expressed in your material world. The nonphysical creative substance, which is Spirit, flows to and through the seed and expresses itself in its polar opposite, physical form. As we have discussed on previous pages, the modus operandi of Spirit is law and, of course the law of attraction is a cause, and growth or expansion is the effect. So keep visualizing yourself as a perfectly endowed spiritual instrument without limitations of any kind.

For if you do, you will find it easy—in fact natural—to expect the good you desire. You will understand that doubt simply obstructs the unfoldment of your desire, so when you continually originate images of doubt, you know you will never see the materialization of the image you desire. Only the reproductive creative spirit of life knows what you think, until your thoughts become physical facts and materialize in your body or your affairs. Then everyone with whom you come in contact may know, because the intelligent energy rewards you openly by reproducing your thoughts in physical form.

Expect an Abundance

“The mind is a powerful magnet and as such, it attracts whatever corresponds to its ruling state. Expectation dictates what that ruling state will be and therefore governs what corresponds to the mind and is attracted into your life. Expectation can be either a blessing or a curse but either way it is certainly one of the most powerful unseen forces in your life.”
John Kanary

Public Speaker, Author, Entrepreneur What are you doing to increase your income? If your answer to this question is “nothing” or if you are just beginning to think seriously about what you could do, you have probably not yet grasped the ideas presented in the previous chapters. You should be aware that the chapters in this book resemble the individual pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Each chapter is related, one to the other, in such a way that if we put them all together, we can see the entire picture. Since you are now well into the heart of the book, I would ask you to pay particularly close attention to the ideas which follow, so you can use them to successfully tie all the pieces together.

You will soon discover that if the ideas in this chapter are applied with intelligence, Expectation can be the triggering mechanism which attracts into your life, every good you desire. However, if you do not exercise extreme caution, Expectation can also turn, just as rapidly, into a destructive, lethal enemy. Therefore, you must be cognizant of how you are 92 Expect An Abundance exercising this invisible, but powerful, force. I believe you already understand you cannot have wealth in your material world until you have first visualized the wealth in your mind. But what does this really mean?

It means that before any of us can even begin to overcome the poverty which surrounds us in our external world, we must first conquer the impoverishment that is buried deep within ourselves. In the preceding pages, I explained how prosperity—properly understood—is simply the inward awareness of the opulence, wholeness and completeness that abounds within the spiritual realm. In other words, it is impossible to feel poor when you are conscious of being enveloped in the protective care of a loving God, universal spirit, or whatever else you may wish to call the spiritual center of our universe. Let me repeat—there never is, and there never has been any lack of supply other than that which we have created for ourselves because of our own limited awareness.

How to Do More with Your Money

It would be great to make more money, but how about trying to do more with what you’ve got? There are ways to buy more, save more and donate more simply by using the money you are already earning. All it takes is using your money more wisely. Here are some tips to help.

Buy More
The main way to do more with your money when it comes to shopping is to use coupons and buy items on sale. If you’re a regular visitor on The Bargainist you are already doing the right thing. Grab your Sunday paper or find grocery coupons online on sites like the CouponClippers.com. Coupon-lovers save 50-75 percent on their grocery bills. That is money you can use somewhere else.

Save More
Setting aside money for your savings account can be challenging. Try saving a specific percentage of any bonuses or extra income you receive. Or if you get a raise, try saving half of the extra amount. You won’t have to change your lifestyle and your savings will get a boost.

Donate More
We all want to help others and now it’s easier than ever with charity shopping. The next time you need to buy someone a gift try using sites like iGive.com. You simply shop at one of the hundreds of stores in the iGive network and a portion of each purchase will be donated to your favorite cause. Or try buying products that support charities. This all-natural soap sells for just $3.99 a bar and the proceeds help to bring clean water to third world countries.

Invest More
The easiest way to invest is by maxing out your 401K. Be sure to take full advantage of your employer’s match. Because this money comes right out of your earnings, when you get your paycheck chances are you won’t miss it.

101 Ways to make money online (76-101)

76. While most webmasters use PPC to refer to Pay Per Click old timers use it jokingly to refer to P*rn (where *=o), Pills and Casinos. Those are probably the three biggest money areas on the net and have probably made more millionaires than any others. But they are very competitive and are difficult markets to er, penetrate. However, there are lots of legal, legitimate opportunities here some of which I'll expand on in due course.

77. Example of a pure arbitrage opportunity: For a while buying traffic via Google Adwords and sending that traffic to pages of little content and Google Adsense ads generated reasonable profits when done astutely. Sure, Adwords and Adsense are two sites of the same coin. But I did say you needed to be astute to recognise where the opportunities were and you need to test, test, test. There are still lots of contextual arbitrage opportunities about. Especially when you work across programs (e.g., buy traffic from MSN, sell to Yahoo).

78. There are a lot of arbitrage opportunities in the finance world as discussed below but if economics and finance talk bores you to death, there's sports arbitrage. Different online bookmakers may offer different odds on a sporting event. By taking the better odds at each bookie you could come out ahead irrespective of the actual outcome of the event. If you're really clever you could make a program to do this for you. Why don't the bookies adjust their odds based on what their competitors are offering? Because they have to balance their own books. Their prices are decided based on how their own punters are betting.

79. Hosting: You don't need to buy a lot of server hardware to provide a web hosting service. Many big hosting companies allow "reseller" accounts where you sell hosting plans to customers and the hosting company will host them all for you under your Reseller account umbrella. You get to charge customers as much as you want. Some Resellers provide value added services and charge more for these. At places like WHT you'll find that resellers sometimes sell their customers as a "bundle" i.e., you can pay some money to buy a reseller "business".

80. Related to the above is free hosting where you provide small website owners free hosting and in exchange you serve ads to all their pages to make the revenue to pay the hosting company and yourself. Early pioneers of this model are well known names like Geocities and Angelfire.

81. Being a broker can be done in a thousand different ways. There are some entrepreneurs making healthy profits just by bidding for projects on places like elance and guru (and others) and farming them out to a bank of writers/programmers they use on a regular basis.

82. Trading from home is really catching on in many parts of the world. You don't need to be an expert on stocks & shares. You can trade on commodities, currencies, lots more. Trading futures allows you to leverage even small $100 amounts of capital into huge fortunes (or bankruptcy).

83. Gambling is a far cry from trading futures but a route to riches for many. No, not the traditional horse racing type of gambling where the only long term winner is the bookmaker. I'm talking gambling against other gamblers, I'm talking the numerous ways of gambling online (search). And there are a million books and ebooks that claim to "teach you how to win".

84. HYIP, or High Yield Investment Programs are just what they say on the tin. They are also highly risky. You invests your money and you takes a chance, but some pay as much as 100% per day. How do they do it? A very few are putting your money into investments with even better rates of return. Others are simply going to keep paying out the first few customers with investments collected from later ones.... and then they go bust. Pyramid style. Maybe the ones who make the money are the ones who get in early... or actually start HYIP programs.

85. What's it with eBay? You just can't get away from them. Their bulk "dictionary purchase" of ad terms from the Google Adwords/Adsense system means you find ads for eBay no matter what you're looking for, even if it's for toenail clippings or dead pets. Whatever the reason for their success you can join the bandwagon and sell your rubbish on eBay and convert a garage of old junk to hard cash.

86. And when you've acquired a fair amount of experience with selling your own rubbish, start selling others' rubbish. How to get your hands on enough trash? Place an ad in your local paper to do house clearances, or just buy stock from wholesalers in - yes, you guessed it - eBay itself. You can get anything from unused toasters to umbilical cord containers. A lot of ebay sellers are actually shopkeepers; they buy stock new from wholesalers and sell them in eBay instead of a physical bricks and mortar shop... and make a healthy living doing so.

87. You've now got a lot of experience buying and selling in eBay. It's time to write a book or ebook on how to use ebay to generate millions. It doesn't matter that you haven't made millions yourself. People still buy these books even if it's just to learn their way about ebay which can be quite daunting for some. And you can sell it on ... you guessed!

88. Don't fancy writing? Then set yourself up as an eBay assistant. eBay itself will send you people who need help with their complicated system. And you can charge them a commission.

89. Alternatively, setup a shop to accept goods from those who can't list them themselves. Yes, a physical shop. There are lots of them springing up all in big cities. The operation is simple. You take something in from somebody, sell it on ebay and retain a percentage for all your efforts.

90. Think building an ebay business is too much like building a normal business? If you've got the capital you can take the easy route. A lot of ebay "shop" (businesses) come up for sale in site-for-sale forums and with business brokers. The ebay username and feedback generally accompanies the business so you continue to benefit from accumulated goodwill (though the "transfer" is something that eBay may not approve of).

91. Opportunities to make money in eBay are limited only by your imagination. There's money in everything from making connections (putting people in touch with other people) to coming up with or commissioning software to make the average ebayer's life simpler or more productive (thousands of such programs already exist). There's even a business model involving just searching for and finding items that have been misspelt in the listings.

92. It's not just eBay. Any merchant big enough or third party affiliate manager program - from Commission Junction to Clickbank - has opportunities. For example, you can create an Amazon affiliate site.

93. Set up a proxy. People seem to want to surf at work AND access sites their IT system blocks them from viewing. A proxy allows them to get around that restriction. Some proxy services get by just on the advertising (as it's easy to get enormous page views in the proxy business). A very good one will even have people paying a few dollars each. There are several ways to monetise a proxy.

94. Enjoy networking? Social networking Web 2.0 style? Make money with it. If you build up sufficient reputation in places like Digg people will start approaching you to start some buzz on their company or their new product. At one point Netscape offered top "Diggers" a sweetener os $1,000 to move over to their competing service.

95. Selling databases of parts/directory listings/modified or value added DMOZ data/ email lists. The DMOZ directory is a massive directory put together by volunteer editors. And they give away their content for free. Kind of. You can download their database and combine it with other information - like phone number and postcode from Yellow pages- to add value / enhance those listings. You could then sell the enhanced product.

96. Find jobs for your friends. An easy way into the personal recruitment business. Know a friend who's just right for a particular job? Make the connection between friend and employer and you could get up to $5,000 for a few hours work.

97. Get paid for your unused computer cycles. Is your computer sometimes on while you aren't actually sitting at it? Then it's using electricity but not performing "work". Joining a distributed computing group like SETI lets you use that computing power to help reach some worthy/unworthy goal. However, you can also use those cycles to earn money by selling them to companies who have large computing tasks then can't do completely in-house.

98. Take the cap around: Do something nice. Provide some information that helps someone, perhaps someone grieving for a lost partner. Or info on how to volunteer to help orphans in Africa, or find an internship. Make it useful. Or just make it very funny. Then stick a donation button on there for people to support your work. You'll be surprised at how well a donation button works on the right type of site. No, it won't work on this page - or any page promising to make you a millionaire.

99. Start an article directory. Giving away free articles (with embedded links) is one way for webmasters to build incoming links to their sites. For other webmasters these free articles are a great way to fill out their otherwise bare sites. Be the middleman. Popular article directories make a lot of money from the contextual ads they post on all the free articles they are displaying on their site.

100. Start a content site: The most common way webmasters earn money is probably contextual programs like YPN and Adsonar. But mainly Adsense. It's simple, quick, doesn't involve any complicated new skills. You simply put up a website with useful/informative content and some Google provided code, get a few links to the page and wait. Traffic will start flowing to it. The volume would depend on the topic and quality of content. Visitors would see ads served by Google and related to the content of the page. Each time they click on an ad you get anywhere from a few cents to several dollars. I personally know at least 20 webmasters who earn in excess of $10,000 per month this way. There are thousands of others.

The 101st method is my personal favourite because I find it hilarious:

There was this bloke who bought an email list of one million email addresses. He sent half of them a stock tip that a certain stock was going up, the other half got the same message predicting that the stock would go down. 50% of them saw him proved right. He ignored the rest and split this 50% into two groups. Half got an email with another up prediction and the other half got the same email with a down prediction. He rinsed and repeated a few times till he was left with about 15,000 people who saw him get it right several times in a row. They were obviously very impressed. He then invited them to pay $5,000 each for a seminar with him on picking stocks! :)

CONCLUSION

I make a healthy living online, and with multiple income streams (no I won't tell you how much. Remember, I'm not trying to sell you anything). I put this article together originally because friends and family kept harassing me to show them what I did for a living so they could do it too. I collected some of the ideas for things I had done myself, got some more from the thousands of site-for-sale threads (and detailed conversations I've had with those sellers), and threw some more obscure/zany ones in here for good measure.

May money just flow to you. If finances are tight right now, take heart - money happens, it's easier than you think. I feel very privileged to live in these interesting times, times full of opportunity, times where I've been able to give up my day job, work at my leisure, enjoy my kids growing up, retire decades earlier than I normally would, and spend time writing this drivel instead of running the usual rat race. God bless the Internet and Good Luck. You CAN do it.

101 Ways to make money online (65-75)

65. Has someone has violated your online rights? Perhaps they don't have a privacy page on their site as required by law. Or haven't made their site disabled friendly (illegal in some parts of the world). Sue them. Particularly if you can get one of those no win-no fee vultures to act for you. A guy called André-Tascha Lammé kept getting calls from salesmen selling him stuff. He sued them in the Sacramento, CA, small claims court (easy to do). Guess what? Apparently the law in the US awards you $500 each time a telesales person makes an unwanted call to you. Lammé walked away with $6,000. What's the law where you are?

66. They haven't violated your rights? Sue them anyway. Why do you think so many people sue Google on the most unlikely pretexts: giving them incorrect results, showing anti-Christian sites in the results, having advertising, being racist, not being racist? Find something unusual enough to sue them about and some dumb tabloid editor somewhere will pay you for an interview. Even if they don't you'll generate publicity, get column inches, get people to your site...Ka-Ching.

Or be the scum that sue companies for small amounts just because it's be cheaper for them to settle than defend. Even if the grounds for the case are petty and silly.

67. Sell photographs: Live in a big city? Hang around at celebrity watering holes, click some photos. There's always someone online willing to pay for interesting ones - there are sites specifically for the buying/selling of photos like these. Get "lucky" and click the UN Secretary General picking up a hooker and you can buy that dream home in the Bahamas quicker than he can say United Nations Secretary General. Find Paris Hilton in another compromising video and.... you can buy Bill Gates.

68. Perform domain hunting services for businesses and then send bill them (even if they've never heard of you). Some businesses will pay up. A 0.01% success out of a million could be worth $100,000 (at a modest $10 each). For example, you could setup a program to extract company names from a Yellowpages database, run them through a misspelling generator and automail each company a list of domains you've identified that it would be in their interest to register as these are very similar to their company name. That's a service, right? The UK authorities have been clamping down on a lot of these operators... but that's only the UK based ones!

69. Exploit people's soppiness. Once upon a time there was a site with lots of lovely pictures of a beautiful little bunny who was very, very happy. And his owner loved him very much. But he needed money so he asked for money on the site and promised that if he did not reach his target he'd eat the bunny. He provided graphic recipes with bunny dish mock-up pictures. Donations followed, fast and swift.

70. Relationship Marketing: Who said relationship marketing was about companies building relationships with their customers? It's about marketing to relatives. About pimping products to your friends. Whatever the "network marketing" opportunities there ever were offline - from Amway to selling water filters - there's always a lot of stuff you can "personally recommend" to your friends online. People who don't open junk mail will open mail from you, because they trust you! And you can get paid for endorsing all manner of rubbish. (Till you lose all your friends, of course)

71. Become a volunteer editor in places like DMOZ and then take bribes to list sites. Is it illegal? In many parts of the world it probably is not, and so it does happen a fair bit. But, the less said about this bribery the better..

72. Petitions: People are constantly petitioning their bosses, their politicians, the rest of the world. Some of those petitioners pay for people to join their cause. Signing up again and again and again has proven lucrative for some, particularly those who know how to proxify their IPs (what is a proxy?).

73. Email SPAM. Nobody likes it, it's illegal in some countries, ISPs get very upset, recipients get even more upset but no list of how people make money online can be complete without a mention of this. What do you sell when you spam? Have a look at what type of spam YOU are getting, it will likely give you an idea of what pays. And the stock tips that seem to "accidentally" land in your inbox. But that's about all the help I'm giving you on the subject.

74. (But wherever there's a big problem there's an opportunity: Run an free email service like Hotmail etc., but with a good SPAM filtering system. High startup costs, sure, but if you get enough people signing up you could be worth a few million very quickly. Google tried this with gmail and got about 4% of the market without advertising the service at all; accounts were given by invitation only)

75. Start a HYIP and do a runner. See 101 Ways to make money online (76-101) for more details on what this is.

101 Ways to make money online (52-64)

52. Affiliate programs can be great fun and very lucrative. The trick is learning to generate traffic, funnelling it to your merchant and hiring expensive accountants to handle your massive tax returns. It has made more millionaires than you'd believe and I've personally met many of them. I hope to write a lot more about making money from affiliate programs in the months to come.

53. But if fine-tuning ad CTRs and monitoring ROI is too much like hard work ... be your own affiliate customer. Credit card companies, mortgage companies etc., pay anywhere upto $100 per form filled on their site (per valid lead). Go apply for some credit cards and mortgages BUT do them through your own affiliate links and make a few hundred dollars per day. Sign up in as an affiliate in your wife/husband/dad's name to get around the occasional restriction that applications in the affiliate's own name don't generate the commission.

54. Like playing computer games? There's money in gaming. Top players get paid handsomely for participating in tournaments, attending gaming fests and endorsing products. OK, Tiger Woods does make more but does he have as much fun? I mean, have you ever seen him happy? Like deliriously happy ... and shouting for joy? No. Because his golf club don't have no buttons. But it's not just for big hitters. Anybody can make a few hundred bucks a week.

55. MMORPG, or multi-player online role playing games are virtual worlds where otherwise sane humans lose all perspective and all sense of reality. Or they pretend they do. They spend money on invisibility cloaks, virtual machine guns, characters and even virtual money! It's hard to explain how it works but Be The Seller, there's a thriving economy there worth millions of dollars every year. Whether it's WoW or SecondLife.

56. Adult entertainment: Like dressing up kinky? Do it front of a webcam and adult webcam sites will pay you. (John Prescott need not apply.) Like chatting dirty? Are you a balding man who likes pretending to be an 18 year old blond, female model? The online equivalent of the premium rate phone lines is where you can earn money all day just having fun. I won't provide links - use a search engine and find them yourself.

57. Or get paid for promoting other adult sites. This is like other affiliate programs except that you get to give away stuff on your site (usually cut-down/lower quality versions of videos and pics) for free. These entice visitors to click through for the larger resolution version which requires a small subscription. So, free content for you and - if you can get enough visitors to click through and subscribe - a healthy commission cheque at the end of the month.

58. Mystery shopping: Shopping on behalf of firms to see how staff on the floor are treating customers. Buy products, have holidays, eat at restaurants and have the tabs all picked up by your employers... as long as you provide them some feedback on what the service is like in-store. There are worse ways to earn a living. Some sceptics say they have fun but don't earn a great deal. Others disagree.

59. Spend your time entering competitions. Despite the name "competitions" rarely require skill, they are nothing but glorified lotteries/ sweepstakes. The most challenging question they are likely to ask you is, "What's 1+1?" Try searches like "competition entry" and "win a prize".

60. Or enter contests of skill. Good at SEO? There seem to be a lot of SEO competitions around. Good for nothing? I tried Google on a search for Good for nothing competitions and I get a lot of results. :-) Weed out 99% as junk, and you should still have some good 'uns there. Good at taking or editing videos and have a good idea? Video sites like metacafe pay you if your video is popular enough (this guy made $100K).

61. Good at poker? You can make a living from playing it all day long (or go broke).

62. Become an estate agent. Not a real one; in places like the US that's too much effort. No, you can act for buyers without all that formality by being a buying agent. Clients have a clear idea of what they want but you have the time to keep hitting rightmove -or wherever your local listings are - to find them that special property. In the UK "buying agents" charge 1-3% of the property value.

63. Concierge services: If you know the exact type of bra you want but can't find it would you pay someone a few dollars to find it for you? You'd be surprised how many busy people would. Whether it's a list for the supermarket delivery or a bathroom tap unavailable locally - for some people the hour or two hunting is not worth the $10 you'd charge. Maintain preferences for your signed up customers - so they can tell you to order "milk" without having to specify semi-skimmed, 2 litre, cardboard packing etc. - and close relationships with local businesses and even I'd sign up. Example

64. Be a researcher. At places like answers.com people pay for you to go research an answer to questions they don't have time to answer themselves. Like, "How do I choose an SLR camera?" and "What's the name of the theme song to the TV program A Bit of Fry and Laurie?" Note: Google has now closed the answers.google.com service but if you're that good at hunting things out you'll find that there are other places where people pay for answers. And, I'm not just talking paid homework help

101 Ways to make money online (22-51)

22. Several jobs exist on a pay per hour basis but the better paid ones are probably contract jobs. Some examples of both: Copywriting; proofreading of web content/ebooks/newsletters etc. (elance, guru, rentacoder, graphicdesign, more).

23. Email or phone answering: Be one of the first line support staff manning a company's phone or email answering service. Filter out the easy questions by pointing the user to relevant sections of his manual and escalate those that seem genuine problems. You are saving the company's engineers' time and providing a valuable service - that they pay for. A variation of this is chat help where you actually sit at your PC and text chat to users who've reached a firm's website and clicked the help button. Sometimes a bit of training is involved.

24. Good at web design, HTML, CSS? Create designs (templates) and flog them. You can sell each one multiple times to webmasters who don't have the time or patience to get familiar with the intricacies and quirks.

25. Monitoring Wikipedia/ forums/ blogs for mentions of a particular name, brand etc. A recent expose showed that several Wikipedia entries were being manipulated by a US political party who had several stooges signed up for just this purpose. Wouldn't their opponents want to know each time they're manipulating some facts? Find someone who needs some news "managed" or needs to know when news is being "managed" and get paid for it. You need to be "proactive" as these jobs aren't "advertised" but the fact that they aren't advertised means that others don't know about them, you have an advantage. And there are opportunities in almost every language.

26. Directories: start one. Webmasters pay to be listed in your directory. The better your directory the more you can demand. Niche, hand compiled directories are a million times better than the SERPs dross and both companies and users know that.

27. Filling in surveys. True, there are a lot of duds around but there are still some programs that pay you for doing mind-numbingly dull tasks like filling in surveys. If you aren't fussed about privacy and are willing to disclose all your personal details (or fictional personal details) there's usually someone willing to pay you, From YouGov to Ciao. This - and some of the next few - are called IFW or Incentivised Freebie Websites, more here.

28. Get paid to read email. Why would companies pay for that? Plenty of reasons, not least that a human eye can spot SPAM that even the best program doesn't catch. Even the best anti-spam program has some false positives and some companies can't afford to have any.

29. Do other filtering. There are people who'll pay money to have you filter through those millions of ebay listings to find them the specific objects/ curios/ stock/ book that they really, really need. Another filtering idea: Businessmen looking to buy sites regularly visit the Site Buying/Selling forums and trawl through thousands of listings a week. Get talking to one or two of them, offer to get familiar with what they are looking for and to do the looking for them.

30. The web has allowed easy access to industrial quantities of free stuff. For example, in 2007, a major manufacturer of cricket bats had a problem. Cricket bats can't have knots in them so most of the wood from the willow tree has to be discarded as scrap. Not a few bin bags full but 70 tons. Per week. Yes, lorry loads per day! Free. They listed it on the eastex.org.uk site. Opportunity: Find a company that sells bark mulch for gardens. Find out how much they are paying to buy wood. Offer them 70 tons of fine willow a week at 50% of their current costs provided they pick it up themselves. Or contact manufacturers of chipboard/cat litter/use-your-imagination. OK, eastex may not still have that particular opportunity... but there are others. And on other sites.

31. CPA = Cost per Action. Apart from filling in surveys people pay for all kinds of other things. Like clicking on links (though you may want to check that you're not participating in click fraud).

32. Posting in Forums: Like hanging out in forums and chatting to other people? Owners of new forums have a problem. If there aren't a lot of conversations going then people don't stop to talk. So they get the chat flowing by paying for posts. So, jump in, start chatting and get paid.

33. Do something silly. The milliondollarhomepage guy got famous for selling worthless pixels on his page. But, because he was in the news/having his 15 minutes of fame people focused on that and paid money for what they would normally have realised was fairly worthless links. Yes, people are stupid. ClickHereYouIdiot. But some of these "stupid" people are millionaires today.

34. Do something more useful and less silly. Find a need in a niche and fill it. People complaining in forums about how they can't find replacement parts for a certain type of car? Find someone who'll make it and be the broker. People complaining about limitations in a particular niche software? Find a programmer to design a solution and start selling it.

35. Have expertise in a particular subject? Write regularly on that subject and give away your knowledge for free. People will bookmark your blog and visit regularly. The money is in allowing companies to advertise their products and services to your very eager audience. There are third parties like payperpost, blogvertise, creamaid, Blogitive, reviewme, loudlaunch etc., who handle the finding of advertisers.

36. Don't have expertise in a particular subject? That doesn't stop bloggers. Some of them blog on the most mundane things - from what they had for breakfast to how they spent their day. And still the advertisers come. So, don't blog to demonstrate your expertise. Blog to demonstrate your camera obsession and show all the stupid pictures you take everyday. Or blog about breastfeeding your kids.

37. Join the myspace bandwagon, build up a lot of "friends" and bulletin advertise the hell out of them. Send them to pages where you promote affiliate programs and you could walk away with five figures every month. There are people who make a lot more.

38. Or use tools like myspace to promote your offline activities - like the music you create. The Arctic Monkeys were record label/ talent scout/ music agent free.

39. Sell trinkets to myspace users. They love them. Especially shiny ones. Myspace backgrounds, templates, animations, scripts, icons and other "myspace resources" are a multimillion dollar industry.

40. Writing a newsletter. Building a mailing list is a long term plan and it pays dividends but don't expect immediate results. If your newsletter is good and you promote it well you can collect hundreds of thousands of subscribers (who all get the newsletter for completely free). The more subscribers you have on your list the more advertisers pay to feature in your newsletter.

41. Find something that won't sell, let your imagination run wild. Be willing to think the most outrageous thoughts, the most impossible items to sell. Who would have guessed there'd be an active market for urine. Yes, that stuff you flush away. No, I'm not taking the ... mikey. Start selling your outrageous item and you may find that a market already exists. You can also sell your hair, your blood, your eggs, breast milk and body parts... and rent your uterus.

42. Build a community. While some webmasters see lower returns from forum-type sites it's probably because they're using contextual programs like Adsense. One of the biggest webmaster communities (forum) is free to join and free to use though it's very busy, uses massive bandwidth, and costs its owner a bomb. Yet, he makes a very profitable income from organising conferences/tradeshows. His "community" ensures every one is a sell-out.

43. Be a link monkey. Webmasters want people to link to them. It makes them feel loved. And it helps them rank higher with search engines. But they don't have the time to go begging. You do that for them and get paid per link. If you're smart you'll find shortcuts and charge people a lot of money for identifying and approaching possible link "partners".

44. Related to the link idea above - start a directory submission service. There are lots of directories around like the ODP. Many take free submissions but you have to do these by hand. When you're familiar with the submission process at a few of the top ones it takes you a lot less time to make submissions. Webmasters have to register, wait for a reply, jump through other hoops etc. They'd rather outsource it to someone who can do it faster and has the time.

45. Another flavour of link-building: Dropping mention of your client's site in forums, blog comments etc. Yes, clients pay for it. There are spamming ways of doing it and some more decent ways. If you can make relevant posts, posts that contribute to the discussion, and provide only those links that are beneficial to that thread, you'll be in high demand with webmasters looking to spread the word about their good content. For example, if you genuinely feel that this list of 101 ways to make money is the dog's testicles - and you participate a lot in webmaster forums - you're bound to come across threads where dropping a link would help your forum mates. Some website owners pay for that.

46. Press release websites often need people to screen user submitted releases for profanity etc., before running the "news". Well known blogs often require the same kind of vetting service for user submitted comments to blog articles. Niche directories that take automated submissions need to prevent against SPAM so could use a human review of each submission. There are numerous such opportunities. Spamming site owners with offers of your service may not get you anywhere. The key is to identify a site that looks like it could use this service and make a personal approach.

47. Write an ebook. It's as easy as falling off a chair. Know something about something? Whether it's about growing cabbages, writing PERL, plucking nose hair or being a good cop - if you're a good marketer, or pay a good marketer, you can probably sell a few thousand copies of your ebook. People pay online and download it, no publisher, printer, book shop or other cumbersome details to worry about. In fact, you don't even need to do the selling. "Affiliates" do it for you (on commission). And, there are ebooks telling you how you can write and sell ... ebooks!

48. Become an expert in a particular niche, perhaps affiliate programs for kids' products, or mailing list services ..and charge for your advice either at online webinars ... or even at local business events. The great news is that this is the internet and becoming an expert in a niche often requires nothing more than spending lots of time (online) reading and absorbing. No school to attend, no fees to pay.

49. Data sorting and other mundane jobs usually pay by the hour. This is the online version of envelope stuffing except that there really are opportunities to do these jobs online. It's a matter of looking in the right places and avoiding all those scammers looking to part you from your money by asking for upfront fees.

50. Good at graphic design? Design and offer logos and icons downloadable for free (and without watermark on payment of a fee). Good icons sell for several hundred dollars a set. And each set can be sold again and again.

51. Create an award and some fancy logos to go with it. The more credible they look the better. Award them to websites you like ... provided they pay you an "admin" fee every year to continue using the logo. Giving awards used to be a useful way to get backlinks. But when people's egos are sufficiently stroked they'll pay to continue boasting about how good the "rest of the world" thinks they are.
