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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the SEOBook Keyword Tool

The KISS Guide To Writing Keyword Rich Articles

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

Finding Keywords

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

the SEOBook Keyword Tool

Keyword Discovery search tool

Google Adwords search tool

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

Keyword Density

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

Seeding The Keywords

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

Breaking It Up

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

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

Dear Friends,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm holding a very special teleconference on

Wednesday July 2nd, 2008

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

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

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

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

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

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

What to Sell on Ebay to Make Money

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Site Flip Millionaires � Discover Their Million Dollars Strategies Here

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

Register a Searchable Domain Name or Grab Expired Name

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You can make millions of dollars from site flip.

Benefits of Cheap Web Design

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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