A courtesy copy of your publication would beappreciated – send to: John@TheStreetKid.comMoney – Money – and More Money For over 20 years I have been fascinated with what it really takes to make a lot of money. I realized a long time ago that if someone else could do something or achieve something…then the least that could happen was that I could copy what they did… and get a similar… or better result. In my younger years, making Money was on top of my list so I became a very good student. But what I have discovered in my search is that it’s not just the people with the college degrees or the most potential who make the most money.For example, you and I both could probably name some people who we think are smarter than we are, yet who don’t make as much money as we do. And we also could probably name some people who we think aren’t as smart as we are, but who make more money.I was VERY fortunate that I had the desire to earn a lot of money…just as I hope you do. The reason I say that is because money is not hard to make if you understand how. But more than having just desire, I found a few mentors who really knew what making money was really all about; they were making millions, so I wanted to make millions.As a matter of fact, I decided at the age of 22… that I was going to be a millionaire! I had no idea how…. but I was going to listen to the mentors and then do what they did.Let me share with you a few simple things I learned that I think will help you on your quest for earning significantly more money. And since the Street Kid part of me wants it simple and fast, everything I do is about getting results now, not in 6 months. So everything you learn from me, you will be able to apply immediately.So let’s begin. NO “SMARTS” REQUIREDFirst and foremost…earning a lot of money is not reserved for smart people. It’s reserved for people who do the right things – spiritually, mentally and physically, that attract money.One of the first things you must understand is that the internal belief you have about what you think you can earn, is not your true potential, but a conditioned ‘belief’ based on your past results and old mental conditioning.And as a reminder from previous reports… your internal image and conditioning controls what you focus on, attract and see. If you are conditioned to make k a year, all you see are opportunities and jobs in line with that image and focus. If you are conditioned to earn 0k a year, then all you are focused on is things that are in line with that financial level.There is an exact science to earning money that most people have never been taught. I’ll give you an example of a couple of the easy rules you must understand for earning money. Without understanding and applying these simple rules, you are working harder than you need to be.I’ve been able to help many people significantly increase their financial intake and lifestyle by simply understanding and following the information that follows…so here you go…(Now remember, individually these rules may seem simple. But when you look at the 3 together…you’ll understand the potential effect they have on how much you can earn.)Rule One’Define the overall market potential for the product, service or talent you have’This is pretty easy…do a lot of people need what you do or have…or is it just a few? The more potential there is for what you have or do…the more total money there is for you to attract. For example:…If you are a doctor, a salesperson, a secretary or a baker…there is a clear need in our society for what you do. The same holds true for professional athletes or musicians. There are some professions and products that have less need than others, therefore less earning potential. Rule Two’I get paid in direct proportion to how replaceable I am… or how replaceable my product… or service is’. In other words – how good are you? This is where earning money starts to get a little competitive. If you are easy to replace because the entry to what you do is easy, then you have to be very, very good to do well in that field. Otherwise you will have to share the potential intake between lots of people. The harder the entry, the higher the potential intake is because there are fewer people to share it with.The same is true if you have a product or service that is easy to duplicate. Rarity increases value: – Think of surgeon vs. a general doctor.- Think of a rare original painting vs. a print.- Think of an excellent salesperson vs. an ‘OK’ one.- Think of how much Michael Jordan earns vs. a rookie…- Think of any service you currently use that is so-so vs. another one that is excellent.Who do you prefer to do business with? These 3 question areas should get you thinking about some of the basic stuff like…1. How good is your product or service? If you aren’t the best, or close…. then why not?2. What reasons are you ‘internally’ telling yourself for not being better? What is this costing you in financial intake and your life style?3. Plain and simple – is your product, service or talent easily replaceable? Rule Three’I get paid in direct proportion to how many people I can get to use and pay me for products, services or my talent.’ Think about this for a moment; compared to other people in your line of work, how good are you at getting people to know what you do and what you have to offer (your products and services lines)? And how good are you at getting them to use your products or services? If you are honest with yourself about the answers… I think you’ll agree that in one or more of the areas…there is room for improvement.I’d like you to imagine what it would be like to double or triple your intake or revenues right now, what would you buy, where would you go, what would you have that you don’t right now?I ask you these questions because I was asked them when I was 21. I liked the answers I came up with, so I decided to really go for it and learn and do what was needed.If you don’t keep growing and learning, you’ve made an internal agreement with yourself that you are fine with how much money you are earning right now and with what you’ve got right now.Until next week…Create a great day!——————

Money

MONEY , BY IFIDON BENSON

Money is an essential tool in the existence of man. It is used for the transaction of all kinds of businesses. It is a parameter used in adjudging the world. The have it is appraised while the have not is censured. This money that we crave for now would be useless at the end. Money is very important no doubt, but as important as this money is, a time is coming when it will flow on the street and there will be no one to pick. To some it doesn’t matter what it takes to get it. After all what is important is its acquisition. Little wonder we go to any length in quest of it.

Thou shall not kill, that is the Lord’s command, but, some lay their hands on their fellow being in order to be rich. This they do with all impunity. What type of money do you want? Blood money, is this in conformity with the ethics of God or humanity? Remember Cain, when he killed his younger brother Abel, not even for money but out of annoyance and acceptance of his sacrifice.  Did God ask him the where about of Abel? For the blood of your brother Abel cries unto Me. Was the Lord pleased with the action of Cain?

Money is good and can upturn many things and relieve man but the love of money is the root of evil. In the world we live today, almost everybody love money. Because of this love, they go to the extent of assassination, theft, armed robbery, burglary and breaking, sales of human and their parts, kidnapping and all forms of wicked and atrocious acts. The essence of these is meant to acquire wealth. A thing that is ephemeral. This much treasured thing causes pains and imminent death. Where is the enjoyment, if your money cannot give you comfort?

 Some have this money but are in perpetual bondage and fear because the implication of their action. Why on earth should one use his/her manhood for this purpose? Where is the joy, when you are dead alive? Of what use is the money when your obligation to your wife is extinct? Due to the sin committed, the innocent woman is challenged; consequent on that, she is seen committing adultery. Had the man consider the position of the wife along the plan and love of God, such an inhuman and dastard act could have been avoided.

Will money be in use in heaven? If money would be in use in heaven, then, it is a thing worth fighting and scrambling to acquire. On the contrary, it would make no sense to work assiduously to acquire this money and at the end it will be useless. Probably, there may be some areas perhaps where money determines heavenly status. Those areas if real, I would like to know. Thus far, the scripture is clear about the stand of man at death. “For the living knows that they will die but the dead knows nothing” Eccl. 9:5. At death, everything is over. Whatever you might have acquired that had not been used before death is definitely meant for the living and not the diseased. The best that goes with him, as at that time, is a timely obsequy which ends in his six feet grave. Dust you are, dust you go to at the end.

Like the foolish man who had enough harvest so much so that he enlarged his barn. He was very delighted that he had been able to get so much for himself and the family. Out of excitement, he coveted the praise of the Lord to himself my soul rejoice and be glad for you will have more to eat for some years. Of course, that was the truth, he made the material wealth that could sustain him, but the Lord took his life that very night. What about that? All the efforts and eulogies of self were in vain. The scripture did not say, he was given anything at death. He thought really that things had taken shape, but his thought was wrong. “There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand”. Prov. 18:21.  “A man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs his steps”. Prov.16:9.

Human goes in pursuance of money at all cost because they want to be recognize. My friend, you may not have the money but when you have Christ you have something which money cannot buy. That Christ gives comfort, joy, peace, love, security, wisdom, life and above all, salvation. If we realize that we are on a journey here on earth and at the end that we will go to our master, then, our orientation about money should be redefined. Solomon as wealthy as he was, and as knowledgeable as he appeared to be, wrote that the world is a flux and that there is nothing on earth. At death, despite his wealth, went with nothing. Why do we go to the extreme to kill because of this object that is transitory?

Ezekiel 7:19 says “They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like refuse; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them. In the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not satisfy their souls, nor fill their stomachs, because it became their stumbling block of iniquity”.  What a loss! This is all you have devoted your time and energy for during your years on earth, but, now that which cost you a lot to acquire is the cause of your destruction. What a pity, decision is best taken, when there is still life. For man’s tomorrow is God’s too late. For those who desire to serve him at their leisure time missed out. Like the encounter of Paul with King Agrippa. “King Agrippa do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe. Then Agrippa said to Paul, ‘You almost persuade me to become a Christian”’. Acts 26:27-28. At the time of this conversation, heaven was opened and the angels of the Lord were on ground ready to accept and take possession of him. He denied the opportunity which he never had again all through his life. Therefore, do not refuse the Spirit anytime you have the opportunity for you never can tell what happens next. For that could be your opportunity, therefore, do not afford to miss it.

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36-37. Mind you, your money is only needed here on earth and very useless in heaven. Decide where you wish to be and act on it immediately. For man’s tomorrow is God’s too late. The time for action is now.

The Free and easy way to make money online

June 30, 2011 By kdmonnmh Leave a Comment

A version of me

Okay – so you want to make money online but:

You don’t want to pay for the privilege – you are broke so can’t afford to pay for it
You don’t want to create website
You don’t want to learn about SEO, PPC and all the other acronyms that you can’t be bothered to find out the meanings of
You just want a quick and dirty way of making money

So this is you ? Okay read on – I’m about to break down the simplest way of making money online. And it’s FREE. There are no additional click after this,or clicks taking you to an affiliate website etc – this is bare bones honesty gleaned from tons of money making ebooks, research, websites, ideas etc, minus the bullshit and egos.Remember the adage – “Nothing will work unless you do”? Well even if you are lazy – this method still entails a few clicks and then a few more clicks every day on an ongoing basis. You can sit back and do nothing, and you will still earn clicks and money, but the more your click the more money you will make.

Follow this step by step easy as pie guide and then mail me when the money starts rolling in. Here goes:

Sign up with Clickbank dot com  – choose an ID that is easy to remember then remember it.
The top 4 money making Click Bank niches are internet marketing, weight loss, dating (i.e. how to get the girl or guy) and  muscle building.
In Clickbank – click on ‘Marketplace’ and type in any one of the niches above in the “Find Products” box.
You will then see a list of products that fall in that niche for you to promote.
Next click on the drop down “Sort Results By” and select “Gravity”.
Choose all the ones you are interested in by clicking on “Promote”.
You will then get a pop-up screen that will give you the link to promote so that you can earn commissions on those items.
Copy and paste those links into a document and call it “My Money Makers”.
Now you are ready to start making money and these are the simplest, easiest, laziest ways of doing it. Are you ready – okay let’s go.

Create a Twitter account applicable to your niche. E.g. Weight Loss. Use a memorable and enticing username.
Create an eye catching profile image with a sexy skinny girl or guy.
Put in your profile information something like “I help people to lose weight and keep it off”.
Use the affiliate link from the niche product you selected in Click Bank as your website link. To disguise it you can use Tiny dot CC to change it to something else.
The go to the twitter page of someone famous or someone that is influential in your niche. E.g. Oprah
Then follow their followers like crazy so that they will either follow you or click on your link to read more about you. This part is simple – you just click on their “Followers” link then click “Follow” next to their names. Click, Click, Click.
RT their tweets and add affiliate link into the retweet
Tweet an interesting fact related to your niche with a link to your affiliate link
Reply to people tweets with a relevant comment and a link to your affiliate link
Say something controversial or enticing with a link to your affiliate link. I think you get the picture, any interaction you have on Twitter – include your affiliate link related to that niche.

Sign up using the same username for the niche as you did for Twitter (makes it easy to remember).
Then search for questions that fall into your niche, e.g. “Lose weight”.
Answer their questions and link to your affiliate link Make your answer as natural sounding as possible, don’t make it a sales spiel. E.g. “You know I had this same problem and it was tough, but I found something that seems to work. I only lost 2kgs in the first week, but I’m losing more each day, I weigh in this weekend, so excited I can’t wait !  I used this – try it you never know” – then include your link to how you lost it. And also add your link as a reference.
Answer as many questions as you can in your niche every day.
You can do this on any site where people ask for advice.

Sign up for a Facebook account using the same details as Twitter.
Simply search for  fan pages that have alot of followers. Famous people work well. Use the top 10 famous people for a list. (Google is your friend). Country names such as “India”, “Nigeria”, “Japan” etc work well too. Fan Pages work better as you don’t have to wait to be accepted. Friends is a waste of time don’t go there.
Simply “Like” the fan page which will allow you to post something on the page wall.
Post an enticing post with a link to the tiny url of your affiliate link.
Don’t do this on too many walls too many times or Facebook will block you. But do choose really famous walls with alot of wall activity – you can see this by the posts on the wall.

This one can get annoying if you have to post in forums and get tired of creating new profiles for each forum, however it works very well. However doing just that gets clicks to your affiliate links. Google forums that fall into the niche you chose, then join up and reply on posts. Make it relevant and natural. Then use your link in your signature and as part of your profile. Use an enticing photo for your profile always.
The other highly lucrative place to comment is on relevant blogs in your niche. Don’t copy and paste comments, type something new and natural.

Create a profile, same premise as above.
Comment on high traffic videos in that niche. Don’t put the link in your comment, but rather on your profile.

If you don’t mind spamming your friends, then create an email that entices them to go and visit the link, especially if it’s a niche topic that you know they would be interested in.
Encourage forwarding of the email to win a prize (preferably something unused that you own already else you’ll have to fork out some money for it).

This method is the by far the easiest and laziest one out there but it’s going to cost you . On Fiverr.com, search for “Social Networking”. You will then get a listing of hundreds of people who will promote anything you want for .
Choose someone that has good feedback and lots of Facebook fans or friends or followers. Pay them via Paypal through the site and allow them to promote your link for you.Once the money starts coming in, you can pay over and over again with different product niches.
There you have it. If you don’t make money on any of these tips – then tweak it until you find the one that works for you. The only way to make this work is by doing it over and over again, every day. The more you do it, the more you will make.

Yes. I am by no means a millionaire. I have hundreds of usernames (The Money Maker list helps me out on this one). This is with a full time job. Do I want to be a famous IM’er – no. I simply want to show others that it is possible to make money on the internet, and it’s not difficult.

I hope you enjoyed this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. You can show me appreciation by clicking on all the Adsense ads on the page – there’s alot hey – I know – but it works – money comes in – or leave a comment. If you absolutely hate it or want to SEO bash me on the head – then by all means do so – but please be gentle. I need this brain to continue clicking and making money.

xo

PS. I couldn’t resist adding this PS link only because it’s such a classic IM give away lol. If you are an obsessive clicker-on-IM-links – then by all means click here to be taken to a great program you can use if you simply MUST have a website and want to grow a list of loyal subscribers that you can sell to. I wrote a review for this one which should be posted soon.
