The Basics of Blogging to Niche Markets

2008-07-03T18:23:33+00:00

In the previous article, we discussed how blogs can help you generate traffic for your main website. But what if you don't have another site? Or what if you want your blog to be your main website, the exclusive carrier of your moneymaking ventures?

This can be achieved, of course. Such is the versatility of web logs.

Standalone blogs are best utilized for online businessmen or women who have decided to pursue what many people call as nicheing. Yes, the word is ungrammatical, but it is a term that many Internet marketers have come to embrace with fondness. Nicheing involves the creation of many sites that cater to particular niches. Niches, of course, are very specialized markets, most of which are so obscure that they do not garner the attention of businesses, hence creating high demands with low supplies. The purpose of nicheing is to find these markets and provide for their needs. These enterprising businessmen would earn through the following ways:

* Creating and eventually selling products that aim to serve the said niches.

* Selling existing products that the said niches need.

* Providing for information that the members of the said niches can access for free, and enrolling the site that contains the information in a Pay Per Click (PPC) program like Google AdSense.

Managing Personal Finance Has Never Been Easier

2008-06-18T15:48:43+00:00

Managing personal finance may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially for those who have no experience in business and management. An accurate financial plan will ease your work and guarantee a successful completion of your financial goals. Here, on our website, we provide helpful information for an accurate finance comparison that will obviously make your work easier.

Managing personal finance may not be the easiest job. If you are one of those who manage their finances themselves, you will surely not find this activity as being the most enjoyable in the whole world. It requires a lot of time and attention, but it is indispensable to your or your family's financial well being. You can find a helping hand here, on our website, where you have the updated information you need in order to do a realistic finance comparison.

A key component for efficient management of your personal finance is financial planning. This dynamic process requires regular monitoring and reevaluation. Otherwise, you risk missing points of evaluation and this could damage your finance control. You should keep under control this circular process by repeated verifications and intelligent manipulation. The following five steps should organize and make your planning easier.

The first step is an assessment of one's personal financial situation. You will do it by compiling, onto a piece of paper, all the personal assets, income and outcome. You should use a simplified balance sheet for listing the values of personal assets (for instance, car, house, stocks and bank account) along with the values of liabilities (such as credit card debt, bank loan and mortgage). Moreover, you should make sure you list personal income and expenses, on a personal cash flow statement form.

Find Unclaimed Money - Really!

2008-04-05T14:37:00+00:00

Luckily for me, in some ways (I guess) being skeptical has saved me a lot of time, energy, and probably grief.

Add to that the current state of advertising in the world as well as internet advertising and Spam, I get the tiniest bit peeved at someone trying to sell me the same tired scam over and over (I'm laughing - but it's true).

With that said, I hit http://www.missingmoney.com this morning after it came up on one of my Google alerts and would you believe - it's for real! AND I even found some unclaimed money of my own.

I printed out the claim form and I'll be sending it off to the state of Florida later this morning.

Who knew?

Now - it's not like I'm going to be retiring now, but hey! What the heck? (lol - laugh out loud)

It's the only website endorsed by the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators and is run in cooperation with the States.

Best part of it? It's absolutely and totally FREE! Yes; that's right! You don't have to drop fifty bucks just to find out.

Better yet; it's fast and easy. Easy search page, sent me to the right page of Florida's government website to begin the claim, and start to finish I'd say it took me about 3 minutes.

If I could make that kind of money ALL the time for all the ways I invest my time, I'd be definitely sittin' pretty!

So - go check it out and see if you have an unexpected windfall waiting for you.

One of the things I noticed in the results page is that there's a lot of unclaimed Life Insurance out there, so no matter how cynical you are about "unclaimed money" you may have some realy money coming to you.

Enjoy your weekend, and happy hunting,

Tracy

Seven Stages of Money Maturity

2008-04-01T18:52:45+00:00

One of my earliest experiences of the disjointed relationship between money and soul was on Sundays at the time of offering in the local Presbyterian church I attended as a child. To me, the rustling of fellow churchgoers and the soft fall of dollars did not sound like the whisper of God. The clink of purses opening and of coins and keys did not sound like God's music, nor did feet shuffling in the pews and aisles sound like the footsteps of God.

In fact, I recall my terror mounting as those footsteps came closer. This was my moment of judgment and I was found wanting. I remember three specific occasions: On one I had nothing in my pocket to give and my parents gave me nothing from theirs. In shame, my face felt hot and red as I passed the basket to my younger brother who also had nothing to give. Another time, my mother snuck a coin to me from her purse. But whose coin was this? Who was really giving? I felt unseen and unrecognized. On another occasion, I had a dime of my own in my pocket, but coins were hard to come by in the comer of Appalachia where I grew up, and I gave more from the fear of the consequences of not giving than from any sense of generosity. I was not convinced the money would go to Jesus or I might have given all that I had in my youthful devotion. Already I was asking, what does this money have to do with my soul?

For most of us, there is an ancient narcissistic wound between our souls and money, a sense that we've never been recognized. Even now, in all the impersonal ways that money touches us when we feel that what we receive for our efforts can never reflect our true worth or that what we give in dollars can never genuinely express the spirit of our generosity we revisit this old wound. I believe that the existential dilemma of humanity is expressed in our relationship to money: How do we express the deep nature of our being in a world represented by dollar bills?

Seven Stages of Money Maturity

There is a pastoral nature to our work as financial planners. On its deepest level, our task is to reconcile the true nature of our clients (their souls) with the world of money--the world we live in.

Money Coaching

2008-04-01T18:38:53+00:00

George kinder has a set of three questions famous for their ability to focus you on what really matters about money.

Question Number 1

Imagine that you have enough money to take care of your needs, now and in the future. How would you live your life? Would you change anything?

Questions Number 2

Imagine that your doctors says you have only five to 10 years to live. You don't feel sick, but you'll never know when death will come. What will you do? Will you change your life? How?

Question Number 3

Now imagine that your doctor says you have only one day left to live. Ask yourself: What did I miss? What did I not get to be or do?

Money Mastery

2008-03-28T18:00:15+00:00

Money can be your servant or it can be your master. The choice is yours to make. If you want to be the master in this relationship, you must learn to assert your control.

This process is simple. It may not, however, be easy. You are habituated to certain beliefs and behaviors towards money. The mass mindset of your culture, including the pervasive advice of advertisers, banks and advisors, is extremely persuasive in convincing you that you are a servant to money and its mysterious and magical attributes.

Nevertheless, if you have the discipline to enact these simple control mechanisms, you will become the master in your relationship with money and, in so doing, will begin to create the financial success you desire.

1. Spend less than you earn.

This is so obvious that it should not even need to be said. However, we live in a society that is predicated to debt financing. If you can't pay cash for it, do without.

2. Pay yourself first.

Take 10% of your income and save it. Don't spend it. Don't lend it. Live off the other 90%. That 10% will build your wealth. It is your foundation.

3. Get out of debt.

The interest you pay on borrowed money, if saved or invested instead, would be enough to retire on. Debt does more than make you a servant to money, it turns you into a slave.
