Extra Income, Residual Income, Passive Income, Are they real?

I have heard of people saying about extra income, residual income, or passive income. Yet as years went by, I have also seen scams that have been associated with it. I have then concluded that the only sure way to earn a living is by having a job.

Not until I have read a best selling book entitled "Multiple Streams of Income" by Robert Allen. He wrote of many ways to make money through residual income, passive income, real estate, internet, and many more! But I said, internet? Hmmmm. At first I did not believe him about the internet.

However, I have learned that two or more of the top 10 richest people on earth today have been associated with the internet business such as Microsoft's Bill Gates.

So, these kept me interested to search for more. One day, I came across a site promoting Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet. wow, I said to myself. The internet really works.

The Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet gave me the educational knowledge of making money through the internet. In this age of information, if you don't have the knowledge, you will surely be left behind in many different ways.

Online Affiliate Marketing

Did you know that online affiliate marketing is an easy money making job? You don't need to do the actual selling, no hassle to do customer service, you don't worry about returns and complaints - you simply receive your money either direct to your bank account or through the mail! I can't even believe it not until I receive my first check on the mail!

Affiliate marketing is simply a marketing tool used by many merchants to let you earn by promoting their site and/or their products. If you have a website, and your site is able to bring visitors to their site and these visitors buy one of their products, you earn a certain percentage of the profit! Easy concept?

There are people who are apprehensive that this could probably be a scam. That is a normal feeling. Everybody is entitled to doubt. But mind you, affiliate marketing is used by many big companies out there to promote their products and services online. And there are people who are earning a good sizable income simply by participating in online affiliate marketing.

What if you would be receiving an extra $200 - $300 a month (aside from your job), wouldn't that be good enough to make the monthly payments for your car? Or enough to buy new Nike shoes every month?

I have found two handbooks about affiliate marketing. These are the Affiliate Handbook and the Super Affiliate Handbook. As your initial reference on how to make extra money with affiliate marketing, it would be best to read any of these handbooks first.

We need money. We all need extra money. And I too enjoy making money out of affiliate marketing.

Perhaps, there could be some good reasons to it. Somehow I have not just seen it in the printed ads, I've also seen such ad even online. Check it out at www.webuyuglyhouse.biz.

Can You Believe That Google is Being Sued?

Yes, you heard it right. Goggle is being sued because it changed its algorhythm which caused the financial losses of the plaintiff. Do you think Google should be held responsible for it?

What are your thoughts on this?

(Feel free to comment on this.)

Truck Accessories


I have found this truck accessory which I wanted for my truck. How would you rate this picture (1 to 10 with 10 being the highest). It is found at TruckStuffUSA.com

Finding a Home Furniture Store online

Home furnitures are one of the priorities of many families. They usually go to a furniture store but sometimes what they wanted in mind may not be always available. Perhaps, they may be looking for a dining room furniture, a living room furniture, or a bedroom furniture.

On the other hand, once they find the furniture they want, they buy it, next they have the problem of how to bring it home when they only have a small car. Get the hassle involved?

I have found a solution to these problems. Buy your home furniture online. My favorite is Everything Furniture. Not only do they carry nearly 10,000 home and office furniture items, they also carry a large selection of Bush Furniture, O'Sullivan Furniture, Bestar Furniture, Powell furniture, and a lot more. They even carry exclusive furniture lines like the Jaclyn Smith Furniture collection.

What I like with Everything Furniture is that they have been ranked as one of the TOP online retailers by the Top 400 Guide. And this gives me the confidence to buy from them.

Can You Buy a Low Cost Airline Ticket Online?

A low cost airline ticket is usually the priority of many travelers. Would you believe that the advent of the internet had made a great impact on the airline industry as well?

I can very well recall that in the olden days, a passenger needs to go to an airline ticketing office to make the necessary airline reservations by buying an airline ticket. And certainly, you have to wait for hours or be in a long line to be able to buy one.

Today, in the US alone, many Americans now simply sit in front of the computer and book their flights through the internet. The airline companies would either allow the passenger to simply print his or her own ticket through the personal computer of the passenger or the airline company would mail the ticket to the passenger. Isn't that great?

Today, I would simply go online at my favorite site at http://www.an-airline-ticket.com/. Isn't air travel now a lot simpler than what it used to be?

Bible Love Story

The Holy Bible portrays many love stories. The greatest Bible love story is of course God's love for man - as He sent His only son to die in our place for our sins. Yes, man was doomed to die because of sin. And this is Godly love.

However, love between human characters are also portrayed Biblically. One of the most famous was the love between Ruth and Boaz. Ruth, a Moabite, was a daughter-in-law of Naomi, an Israelite. When Naomi's sons died, Ruth begged to stay with her mother-in-law even when Naomi had decided to go back home to the land of Judah.

Ruth became famous for her strong statements towards Naomi by saying, "Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God."

So Ruth went with Naomi to Bethlehem in the land of Judah. There Ruth worked with Naomi in the fields reaping. Soon Ruth found favor with the nearest kin of Ruth's deceased husband. This man's name was Boaz.

As the turn of events came to a romantic affair between Ruth and Boaz, they later got married. The Bible gives so much more romantic details to the events that led to the marriage of Ruth and Boaz which is recorded in the Book of Ruth. You can read this very touching story yourself. If you have no Bible, you can purchase one online at The Bible Source.

The marriage of Ruth and Boaz resulted in the birth of Obed, who became the father of Jesse. Jesse in turn became the father of David - the boy who killed Goliath. Yes, I highly recommend that you read the Bible yourself.

Finding Discount Hotel Rooms Online

The boom of the internet has indeed made a great impact on travel. In the past, when we travel, we only check-in at a hotel upon arrival in a particular destinationl. We could say it is bad luck when upon going to a hotel, it is fully booked and we'll have to suffer the agony of finding available rooms somewhere else.

But today, even before arriving at our destination, we can already make advance hotel reservations. We can find any discount hotel rooms online. For me, I usually would go to www.yourcheaphotels.com. They don't just have one network of hotel reservations, they list several hotel networks and so I can scout for the price and save. I can even see most of the hotels that I might be checking in.

Finding An Online Consumer Electronics Retailer

Finding a trusted online consumer electronics retailer was a little difficult for me. I've heard of fraud online and I did not wish to be a victim.

One day, I was trying to find a memory card for my computer which I needed to upgrade. I tried to go to a local computer store around but they gave me the wrong memory card. They said that the memory card is not yet availalbe.

But then I found Buy.com. At first I was a bit hesitant, but I just tried my luck. I made the order and they delivered. Now, I would say, I can trust Buy.com.

Bible Story Of Joseph

The Bible story of Joseph is one of my favorites. This Joseph is the son of Jacob who had a coat of many colors.

While Joseph has eleven brothers and one sister, he had become the apple of Jacob's eye. This made Joseph's brothers jealous and envious of him. So much more that this was aggravated when Joseph told his brothers of his dreams - the sun, moon and stars bowing to him, and the sheaves of his brothers bowing to his sheave.

Their anger and hatred on him became more evident when they bound Joseph into a pit and sold him to the traders who in turn sold him as a slave in Egypt to an Egyptian official named Potiphar. The brothers even deceived their father Jacob - tearing Joseph's coat of many colors and splashing it with blood from one of their sheep - and they showed Jacob the coat claiming that Joseph was killed by a lion.

On the other hand, God was with Joseph, and Joseph found favor with his master Potiphar - making him charge of Potiphar's household. However, temptation came to Joseph when Potiphar's wife tried to seduce him. With Joseph's refusal, Potiphar's wife accused him of trying to rape her - which caused Joseph to be sent to prison.

With many years of stay in prison, Joseph met the baker and the butler, whose dreams he correctly interpreted. The baker was put to death while the butler was sent back to the Egyptian palace to work.

While the Pharaoh was bothered by a dream, all of the Pharaoh's wise men and magicians could not interpret this dream. Thus, the butler remembered Joseph and recommended him to the Pharaoh. This was a great moment for Joseph because with God's help, he was able to interpret the Pharaoh's dream correctly. As a result, Joseph was awarded to be a ruler in Egypt second only to the Pharaoh.

Joseph was able to wisely manage the economy of Egypt by storing large amounts of grains and food in their granaries. When famine came throughout the land of Egypt, the Egyptians had nothing to worry as they were economically prepared.

As the famine had spread to the other parts of the world, Joseph's brothers had heard of the prosperity in Egypt. Thus they were sent to Egypt by their father Jacob to buy food. They came to Egypt and was recognized by their brother Joseph who was now a high ranking government official in Egypt. Although, he allowed them to buy the goods they needed, Joseph also tested them by accusing them as spies, and even brought them to the Egyptian prison.

He released his brothers for prison except for one and he told them to bring his younger brother Benjamin. They did bring Benjamin so the other brother who was still in prison could be released. Happy to see his younger brother, he invited all his brothers to a feast. Yet, all the brothers still did not recognize Joseph and were wondering why they were treated nicely after bringing them to prison.

Yet, Joseph tested them again by putting his golden cup in Benjamin's sack of grain. They were caught by Joseph's guards and all of them were so bewildered why all these series of events have been happening to them. Yet it was Joseph's plan to finally reveal himself to his brothers. On this occasion, he did finally reveal himself, and his brothers just couldn't believe that Joseph is still alive. You can just imagine all the surprise that his brothers have and the fear of retribution.

Well, Joseph forgave his brothers telling them that how he was brought to Egypt was all a part of God's plan to save their families. Imagine the joy and disbelief when their father Jacob heard of the news that Joseph is still alive.

Once more, Jacob met his son Joseph when Joseph requested that all their families be relocated in Goshen. Yes, this is just one of the most heart touching stories in the Bible. Read the Bible yourself. You can buy a Bible online at The Bible Source.

Yes the Bible has many touching stories and it is worth learning it ourselves reading God's Holy Scriptures.

Call On Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus. This is one title of a beautiful song about Jesus. John 6:35 has this to say,

'And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst."'

In Matthew 7:7 Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

As a friend, we can always come to Him anytime. He can provide our needs. When in trouble, we can always call on Him. When we fall, He can raise us up when we call on Jesus.

The Bible is full of all the wonderful things that Jesus has been trying to teach us. Read the Holy Bible more and you will surely be filled. If you want to own one, you may buy a Bible for yourself online at The Bible Source.

Try it yourself by sincerely calling on Jesus. I have tried it and I love it.

Inspirational Bible Verse

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." -- John 3:16

This is just one of the many inspiring Bible verses. Just imagine if Jesus did not die in our place, all of us would certainly be doomed to die because of our sins.

Read the Bible yourself to search for more inspirational Bible verses. If you wish to own a Holy Bible, you can buy online at The Bible Source.

Finding A Wholesale Drop Ship Source

A wholesale drop ship source for your internet business is crucial for the success of your business. It is because you need a source that can provide you with reliable companies that can drop ship your products.

Most internet business concerns is the issue of fraudulent claims. There are other companies out there who claim to be drop ship companies, but in actuality, they are not.

The World Wide Brands is a great source of reliable drop ship suppliers because they screen the so-called drop ship companies that wish to be listed in their listing. For a minimal membership fee, I get to avail of a lifetime access to their listings.

What The Holy Bible Says About Judgement

Jesus said, "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."-- Matthew 6:23

I did not invent this, but Jesus said this Himself in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. This is just one of the many Bible texts that many of us can apply in our daily lives. There's a lot more from the Bible.

Read the Holy Bible yourself if what I just quoted is true. If you wish to have a Holy Bible for yourself, you can buy online at The Bible Source.

Making Money With Your Computer

The computer has been one of the most wonderful invention of mankind. Today, millions of people are making use of computers. But do you have ideas how to make money with computers? Here are some ideas for you.

1. Desktop Publishing. When somebody pays you to make a computerized report - that is part of desktop publishing. Desktop publishing includes but is not limited to printing labels, stickers, calendars, invitations, resume's, banners, brochures, CD & DVD labels, T-shirt print-ons, logo designs, and many more. Many businesses now thrive out of desktop publishing.

2. Arcade Games. Games can be very fun. Not everbody can afford to buy a computer and play arcade games. Some businesses allow their customers to play the games that these people want and charge them on a per hour basis. Imagine if you have 20 computers and you have 20 customers per hour - just do the math, how much would you earn on a monthly basis?

3. Internet. With the advent of computers, the internet came along. People can now send messages by email which they enjoy because these messages are sent extremely fast as opposed to regular mails. People can chat with their friends from the other side of the globe in real time! And others just simply love to surf the internet for various reasons. Since not many people can afford computers, internet cafe's thrive in many societies.

4. Ecommerce. The ecommerce is now growing at an exponential rate. People can now shop online while in their homes. If you can have a website and you know how to drive traffic or to bring people to your site, you can literally make millions through your site. One of the best resources about internet marketing is Corey Rudl's ebook "Insider Secrets to Marketing your Business on the Internet" Almost anything can be sold through the internet. Of course, you will need a computer to build your website or to post products in some auction sites such as Ebay.
Ebay is the most popular site for auction sales on the internet. How you market through ebay is of course another subject. One of the best resources about Ebay is an ebook entitled, "The Insider Secrets Of An Ebay Millionaire".
5. Affiliate Marketing. Affiliate marketing is one of the techniques used in internet marketing. It is selling other people's products and services. So, even if you don't have a product to sell, you still can make money in the internet by selling other people's products. What you simply need is your computer,creativity, discipline and patience. One of the best resource is Rosalind Gardner's ebook entitled "The Super Affiliate Handbook".
These are just some of the many ideas where you can make money out of your computer. However, just a little caution, while others have succeeded in these ideas, the results of your business may differ from one person to another. Challenges and obstacles are also present. Fraud is even present. But with determination, failure should not be your option.

Advantages of an Email Marketing Software

Email marketing should be one of the arsenals to be used by an online merchant. To send an email to one of your customers is as simple as eating peanuts. However to send emails to hundreds or thousands of your email list members is like eating a sack of peanuts in one hour! That would certainly be impossible!

But this is not impossible to many successful online merchants. Their solution is automation. They simply use an email marketing software. One of the best email softwares is Mailloop. So far, I know of several successful internet entrepreneurs that use Mailloop.

If Mailloop would work for them, there is no reason it wouldn't work for your email marketing success.

Easier Exchange Links

To exchange links between sites is one strategy that's being done by many webmasters to increase a site's link popularity. This is popularly known as reciprocal links exchange.

What one commonly does is simply send an email to another webmaster, asking his permission to exchange links between their two sites. If they both agree, they then put links towards each other's site. For just one link request, this can be easily done.

However, manually exchanging links with 50 or more sites, is a very tedious process. Exchanging links manually is indeed the most dreaded work that many webmasters despise. And this is really true.

The best solution is to automate your linking process. I do mine using Zeus. Zeus reduced my linking work by approximately 60%. Thanks to Zeus.

The Largest Online Musical Instruments Store

If you love music, I am pretty sure you'd love to have one of those musical instruments. Unless you are living in a big city, some particular musical instruments may be difficult to find.

Musical instruments and musical equipments are also available online. Have you ever heard of Musicians Friend? They have guitars, keyboards, trumpets, saxophones, drums, recording equipments, microphones, and a lot more.

I simply shop online now-a-days to buy hard to find musical instruments. And what's more, I feel secure when buying my musical equipments with Musicians Friend.

Holy Bible Source

A Holy Bible plays a very important role in every Christian believer whether you are a Baptist, a Roman catholic, an Evangelical, a Seventh Day Adventist, or whatever Christian denomination you belong.

Sometimes it is hard to locate a Bible book store where you wish to buy a Bible. But I find it easy when I simply go to my favorite online Bible site called the Bible Source.

This site has assorted kinds of Holy Bibles that could fit your needs such as Bibles on CD, Bibles on DVD, Bible for Teens, Bible for Children, Large Print Bibles, Bible software, Bible games, electronic Bibles, a lot more.

So you need a Holy Bible? Remember The Bible Source.

Funny Prank For All

Funny prank gags make parties and gatherings fun. I'm just wondering what parties and gatherings would feel without laughter - pretty sure you'd agree with me that it would be BORING!

I remember attending one christmas party where we were requested to prepare gag gifts. I had a hard time going throughout the mall near us just searching for gag gifts. I did find one but with so much difficulty.

As we gave out our gag gifts, our party was indeed filled with so much laughter that you could imagine people start to have tears in their eyes. Fun and laughter should play a big role in informal parties and gathering.

Now, I don't have a hard time anymore searching for funny prank gags. All I simply do is go to a site called the Prank Place. I surely like their products which could create so much fun!

Strategic Internet Marketing Course That Really Works

An internet marketing course was not known to me way back in 1997. I have not even heard about such terms as "page rank", "linking strategies", the importance of domains, and a lot of other things. I just wanted to sell on the internet then because I've learned of the increasing phenomenon of the internet.

In 1998, I had the opportunity to build a website where I can sell some products - courtesy of one internet company. I then started promoting my site by distributing pamphlets in my neighborhood and by emailing some friends and prospects. I kept doing this but I never generated a single sale.

I thought putting up a website was enough to make a sale. However, I attended one internet marketing workshop and a message of one speaker caught my attention. "What are the secrets that successful online marketers know that many failing dot com companies do not know?" That workshop taught us things which I thought were just false claims just like the many "internet gurus", thus I never actively practiced the strategies I've heard.

However, in 2005, I have discovered the "Insider Secrets To Marketing Your Business on the Internet" by Mr. Rudl. I bought it and studied it. To my surprise, what Mr. Rudl wrote were almost similar to that of the workshop I previously attended. I then said to myself, "There could probably be some truths to what Mr. Rudl claims."
With that, my enthusiasm to continue with an online business was rekindled. I started to apply the principles taught by Mr. Rudl to my site. In the period October, November and December of 2005, I generated a total gross sales of $15,000 on my first website. Surely, the "Insider Secrets To Marketing Your Business on the Internet" worked for me because I applied the correct principles of a sound strategic internet marketing course.

Make Money With Affiliate Program

You may always question, "Can you really make money in an affiliate marketing program?" I had the same doubts in 2003 when I was just starting my internet business. I did not have a single knowledge about affiliate marketing.

It was not until I was able to read an ebook about a super affiliate marketer, Ms. Rosalind Gardner. This affiliate marketer gave her own experience in this field of money making. She gave details on how to do it. Her ebook, The Super Affiliate Handbook gave me the idea that you do not need to have your own product to sell.

In affiliate marketing, you promote somebody else's product. When somebody buys the product, all you do is simply receive your commission. Does that sound easy? This kept me excited about affiliate marketing.

All I did was to simply read the ebook from the front page down to the last page and followed all her suggestions. I then kept doing the strategies that she had suggested.

Now, I keep receiving checks from the companies that I promote. I did not have to worry about issues on returns, complaints, customer service, delayed and lost delivery, and all the hassle of regular business. I just simply receive my checks!

Certainly, I did not regret I bought and applied the principles taught in The Super Affiliate Handbook.

Most Reliable Wholesale Dropship Directory

With the online boom of businesses, many people now also want to have their own online business. The growth of e-commerce have indeed attracted many including myself.

When I started my online business, I wasn't sure where to get my suppliers. I have learned of fraudulent "wholesalers" which have victimized many merchants too. Isn't that scary?

On the other hand, I did not have much capital funds to start my own business. But when I heard about dropshipping, that became a great solution I've been looking for.

Dropshipping is a procedure wherein merchants like me can order a small or large number of products for my customers at wholesale price, and each ordered item is mailed directly from the supplier to my customers. No need for me to get loads of stocks to keep. But where could I get such dropship suppliers?

My problem of finding reliable dropship wholesalers was solved when I found World Wide Brands. It is a very reliable wholesale dropship directory because they screen the wholesale or dropship companies before these companies are listed in their directory.

So far, I have not encountered any scary problems with my suppliers which I have gotten through the World Wide Brands. Today, many other online merchants also get their suppliers from this particular directory.

Although you pay a small amount to subscribe to the directory, the pay is indeed worth the price considering that merchants can certainly avoid fraudulent suppliers.

Golf Instructions for Beginners

Golf lessons are essential in learning the secrets of golf. As a beginner like me, I needed the golf training I want before I can play the game. But I could not afford golf instructions from a professional, is there an alternative?

As a beginner, I wanted to learn about golf as much as I can. When I was young, I wanted to learn how the professionals play the game. But reading is my most cost effective way of learning the course. Perhaps, if I should hire the services of a professional instructor, I would be spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Thus, I have to search for a guide that would save me dollars too.

I have found this in the ebook entitled "Beginners Guide To Golf". It teaches the reader how the game is played, what equipments and clothes to use, and it even provides tips from the pros. The guide is indeed like spending hours with a professional, giving you the insider playing tips. It teaches you how to avoid the mistakes that most beginners make.

It also has inside tips for buying the right equipment for you to save you money and to improve your game. As a beginner, this ebook will give your valuable lessons. So give "Beginners' Guide To Golf" a try.

Avoid Jet Lag

As a traveller, can you avoid jet lag? Perhaps if you are simply travelling within a small region of the globe, one could not experience the problems of jet lag.

For international travellers, jet lag poses a great problem especially when you are involved with a hectic schedule for your travel. People who travel from the Far East to the US certainly would feel the effect of a jet lag. Of course a jet lag can be felt mostly with air travel. This is because of the change of your biorhythm.

It would be difficult for you to concentrate when you are going to attend a conference during the daytime upon your arrival from a 16-hour travel. You would not even look healthy when you are suffering from a jet lag.

But avoiding jet lag is not impossible for you. The ebook Avoiding Jet Lag provides important solutions for travellers. Thus, if you are planning for a long air travel, it is better for you to learn how to avoid jet lag.

Making Money With Your Blog

While the internet has been evolving in so many ways, many tools have also been created to achieve financial success in e-commerce.

Since search engines have been constantly changing their algorhthms, many webmasters have also been trying to find more ways to promote their online businesses. These strategies are created in order for a site to survive even without being dependent on the search engines.

Blogs have now become popular to publish a writer's ideas. Yet some creative webmasters have also taken advantage of this opportunity to use blogs as a marketing tool to promote products and services.

To make money with blogs is taught now by many ebooks such as Blog Profit Ideas Exposed. Certainly, if blogs can also be used as an effective tool, then isn't it wise to take advantage of it as well?

Perhaps, internet marketing or any kind of business can also be compared with war. To win a war, it does not mean that armies will only be using pistols. Armies should be able to learn how to use other armaments such as rifles, bayonets, grenades, tanks, lasers, and more.

The same thing holds true with internet marketing. Webmasters should not depend on search engines only. If other webmasters have succeeded in making a profit out of blogs, why can't you?

Can You Really Stop Smoking?

When man discovered and adapted the practice of smoking, many cigarette and tobacco companies have made a big business out of it. However, the ill effects of smoking have created a negative impact on man's health.

Despite of man's increasing knowledge about the ill effects of smoking, there are still millions of people in many different countries that still actively practice smoking and promote the smoking industry business.

Yes, many now know that smoking can cause lung cancer, emphysema, and many other deadly diseases, many people are still keeping their eyes shut and are trying to ignore all the necessary precautions and warnings. In the US, cigarette packs are printed with health warnings about smoking. Active business advertisements on smoking have been banned in the US.

In recent years, law suits against cigarette companies have been filed. Some cigarette companies have lost millions of dollars. Today, some of these cigarette companies now take an active part in discouraging smoking.

But can people really stop smoking? Should we blame the cigarette companies? Or, can humans be blamed too for their own irresponsible decisions about smoking?

Today, we know that nicotine plays an addicting component in cigarette smoke. Thus many anti-smoking medications have also evolved. Yet, after taking such medications, there are still some people who just would like to try to smoke again. Is it because of peer pressure?

Today, many health programs have also been formulated such as the Fresh Start, and many other anti-smoking programs. With all the anti-smoking programs and the anti-smoking medications that are all availabe, if one just can't quit smoking, it is because such individual probably just does not have the discipline and determination to quit.
If you are such an individual, remember you are not just hurting yourself. You are also hurting the innocent ones who are around you.
