Four days ago we had yet another April 1st and as always the newspapers, media and the entire blogosphere were swamped with jokes and lies. One more extreme than the next! Personally I don’t really like the idea of lying to people, even though it is only this one time a year and you always end up telling that it is an Aprils fool joke. But since it has been like this for years and years then I thought that I might as well tell you a couple of ideas on how to make money with an Aprils fool joke.
Ways to Make Money
Besides the fact that the idea of Aprils fool is that it is supposed to be fun and make people laugh, it is also a great way to attract traffic to your website (I use website as I am guessing that you don’t own neither a newsp... Read more

Ever since I got started online I have found myself learning my trial and error. There is nothing wrong with learning that may and if you keep trying something and correcting your approach every time you fail you will definitely reach you goal at some point. No doubt about it. The problem is that a lot of people stop trying after having failed a number of times and I honest don’t blame them. Failing is something that we have learned to avoid ever since we started school and most people are afraid of failing because of it.
For the last 5 years or so the Internet has become mainstream and everyone seems to have some sort of Internet connection via either a modem or a high speed broadband connecting and because of this and the stories we... Read more

If you are trying to make money with Google’s Adsense program then there are a lot of key elements that you will need to learn or take notice of in order to maximize your earnings from people clicking the ads.
To quickly explain what Adsense is and how you make money from it, it is basically you selling advertising space on your websites to people advertising through Google’s Adwords program. Google handles all the administration and the legal stuff and all you will need to do is take a little snippet of code and place on your website in one or more locations. Every time someone clicks on one of the ads shown Google will be the advertiser an amount and because you are providing the advertising space they will then pass on a smal... Read more

If you know a little about Google Adsense or if you have already tried to install it on one of your websites, you are probably aware of the fact that some clicks will pay you more than others. Google rewards you for sending visitors to the companies that advertise through Google’s system based on the quality of the traffic you are sending.
By quality is meant how the people that are clicking your ads are behaving. If they behave in a favorable manor like signing up for a newsletter or actually purchasing something then those visitors are more valuable to the advertiser and therefore to Google and in the end to you.
But if the traffic you are sending is of a poor quality and are not converting or not behaving in a favorable way (accor... Read more

Every day we see more and more people come online to find information, to buy stuff or simply to have some fun. The broadband connections are spreading around the globe and with them we’re seeing more people trying to either make a living or trying to make just a little extra money with some online venture. Some are going for the easy route (which almost never works out) and others are really trying to build a solid online business.
One of the major problems today (both online and offline) is that we have so many opportunities. One might think that it would be a blessing to be able to choose from such a wide (and growing) selection of options but for most people this is actually what is keeping them from ever making any money online or on...

Ever since the concept of money was invented people have sought to make more money and in itself that is a good thing if you have a reason for it. In order to make money you will have to provide something of value for others in order for them to exchange their money for what you offer. Providing something of value for others is a great thing and the more you provide, the more money you’re able to make. The process is simple but in reality there are a lot of people that find it hard to do because they are mostly focusing on themselves and what they want and not what value they can provide for others. Because of this “erroneous” focus they struggle with making the money they want.
Because a lot of people got the part mentioned above all... Read more

I recently read a post from Ian where he explains why using the Global Translator Plugin for added traffic can be an easy solution to get more visitors to your site. What is does is basically to use Google’s automated translator to translate every post you make into a number of different languages. This sound like a great solution and it is also easy to implement as Ian also describes. So if you are looking for free translation and a rather easy way to boost traffic then you should probably look into the plugin.
Now I have also used the plugin on several sites and besides the fact that the translation is of a mediocre standard… hey what can you expect for automated solutions… is has a few other disadvantages and especially if you’re... Read more

I am going to make this post very brief and expand on it tomorrow but until then I would like for you to think about whether you believe that it requires a special instinct or a special skill to be able to make money in both the offline and online world?
The reason I am putting out this question is that I know there are a lot of people that believe that they are not able to make it online and that they will never make any more money than they are currently doing.
I am curious to know why that is so please take some time to explain to me in the comments why you think that is.

Yesterday I talked about possessing an instinct that enabled you to make money or lacking the instinct which meant that you were not able to make the money you want in your life. Both of these “possessions” are fiction and only exist in people’s minds but that in itself will cause them to become self fulfilling prophesies. If you believe something to be true then it will be true to you and because of this belief you will act accordingly and get results that match you belief.
So in order to make it a little more clear what I am trying to say then there is no such thing as a money making instinct and everyone that wants to make more money than they are currently doing can do that. But in order to do so you must change the way you act a... Read more

There are so many ways that you can make money online that it can be difficult to choose which one to pursue. But one thing that is certain is that if you try to go for all of them at once you will not succeed with any of them because you are not working in a focused manor. What you need is to pick one thing and then go at it with all you got and spend enough time and energy to be able to say that you have given it your best shot. And just to make it perfectly clear then working one hour a day for two weeks is NOT giving it a good shot.
One way to speed up the process of making money online is to find a proven system to follow. And when I say “proven” I mean that you follow the advice of people that have done what you want to do and not... Read more
