my WORK AT HOME TIPS

Its already been quite a while since I last entered a blog. Some of my friends email me to remind me that updating the blog regularly is a must. Well, I have been busy building websites from my freelance projects and I was not able to concentrate on affiliate marketing.

Anyway perhaps not updating my blog has been a blessing in disguise. I was able to
recall a story from Robert Kiyosaki’s Book - Cashflow Quadrant. The story is very interesting because it shows to kinds of contractors. One that starts immediately and the other one went into planning before implementing the project that has been awarded.

Once upon a time there was this quaint little village. It was a great place to live except for one problem. The village had no water unless it rained. To solve this problem once and for all, the village elders decided to put out to bid the contract to have water delivered to the village on a dialy basis. Tow people volunteered to take on the task and the elders awarded the contract to both of them. They felt that a little competition would keep prices low and insure a back up supply of water.

The first of the two people who won the contract. Ed, immediately ran out, bought two galvanized steel buckets and begin running back and forth along the trail to the lake which was a mile away. He immediately began making money as he labored morning to dusk hauling water from the lake with his two buckets. He would empty them into the large concrete holding tank the village had built. Each morning he had to get up before the rest of the village awoke to make sure there was enough water for the village whne it wanted it. It was hard work, but he was very happy to be making money and for having one of the two exclusive contracts for this business.

The second winning contractor, Bill, diappeared for a while. He was not seen for months, which made Ed very happy since he had no competition. Ed was making all the money.
Instead of buying two buckets to compete with Ed, Bill had written a business plan, created a corporation, found four investors, employed a president to do the work, and returned six months later with a construction crew. Within a year his team had built a large volume stainless steel pipeline which connected the village to the lake.

At the grand opening celebration, Bill announced that his water was cleaner than Ed’s water. Bill knew that there had been complaints about dirt in Ed’s water. Bill also announced that he could supply the village with water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Ed could only deliver water on the weekdays…he did not work on weekeneds. Then bill announced that he would charge 75% less than Ed did for this higher quality and more reliable source of water. The village cheered and ran immediately for the faucet at the end of Bill’s pipeline.

In order to compete, Ed immediately lowered his rates by 75%, bought two more buckets, added covers to his buckets and hauling four buckets each trip. In order to provide better service, he hired his two sons to give him a hand for the night shift and on weekends. When his boys went off to college, he said to them, “Hurry back because someday this business will belong to you.”

For some reason, after college, his two sons never returned. Eventually Ed has employees and union problems. The union was demanding higher wages, better benefits, and wanted its members to only haul one bucket at a time.

Bill, on the other hand, realized that if this village needed water then other villages must need water too. He rewrote his business plan and went off to sell his high speed, high volume, low cost, and clean water delivery system to villages throughout the world. He only makes a penny per bucket of water delivered, but he delivers billions of buckets of water everyday. Regardless if he works or not, billions of people conume billions of buckets of water, and all that money purs into his bank account. Bill had developed a pipeline to deliver money to himself as well as water to the villages.

Bill lived happily ever after and Ed worked hard for the rest of his life and had financial problems forever after. The end….

Success does not only comes to the one who works hard but also to the one who work smart. Hope you enjoy and has been inspired.

Good Luck and more power to us.
Happy Marketing.

So you wanna earn without spending a dime either you want to try testing the water first before swimming or simply you just do not have enough money to spend. You might have also heard a lot of people started on the Internet business without spending a dime and end up millionaires, yes most of them ended up that way but not all.

In this article I outline the step by step procedure in earning (with google) without spending a dime. Of course you have to give something before being successful: your sweat and effort; little creativeness, passion, and have the right mindset in being successful.

Being a Google Adsense Publisher

This is the best introduction of what is Google Adsense (as defined by Google):

“Google Adsense is the program that can give you advertising revenue from each page on your website—with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.

AdSense delivers relevant text and image ads that are precisely targeted to your site and your site content. And when you add a Google search box to your site, AdSense delivers relevant text ads that are targeted to the Google search results pages generated by your visitors’ search request.”

You might be asking alright I want to be a google adsense publisher but I do not have a website, does this means that I still have to cash-out to maintain a website. This is the beauty of Google. They are giving away free blog hosting and google pages so that you can put your adsense code without spending a dime on web hosting services. Well, you have to pay for your Internet connection and the coffee while establishing the blog or site.

Here is the step by step::

1. Think of topic that you like or familiar with. Please note that when you are familiar with the Internet you can research for topics that has a paying keywords. I will be discussing this in another article.

2. Go to Blogger.com or Google pages and set up your own account.

3. Start putting in the contents or if you have chosen to blog, start blogging.

4. After you made your initial entries (maybe for starter 10 post will be suffice), start putting the google adsense codes by signing up to a google adsense account.

5. Start promoting your site. Participate in google groups, forums, yahoo groups, etc. By the way site promotion is one the essential components for your site to be successful.

6. Evaluate what you have done from Step 4 to 6. You may want to optimize your site (contents, promotion or SEO techniques,etc.)

7. If you are already earning a small amount in your first blog/site, create another one. Repeat step 2. The idea here is to be able to have a sustainable number of website. If your initial site is earning $10 per day, having 10 sites makes it $100 day. (of course sometimes, clicks only $.01, so you have to be patience).

Word of caution; do not click your own ads and do not make invalid impressions by refreshing your pages too much. In short do not try to cheat Google, they are smarter than you think. Always read the Terms of Agreement (TOS) or join Google Adsense Blog – in this way you can always be updated of new things about the system.

Will this article make you rich? Maybe or maybe not. Many who have come before us made spectacular income in Google Adsense, others have not. This article is just a tip of the iceberg and there is more a lot to learn like SEO techniques, getting quality content etc. You just have to do it one step at a time. Cheers to you! Happy earning!
