I Need Money Now - A Common Request

I need money NOW - A guest post by my friend Ashley

Do you find yourself thinking “HELP, I need money now”? If you are like most people these days, you probably are. More people than ever are in debt, it almost seems like there is no end in sight. While there is no such thing as free money, there is a such thing as being able to manage your money more properly in order to make the bills each month. After all, isn’t having a way to pay the bills priority number one?

Sitting there and thinking “I need money now” is not quite going to get you what you need. It’s be nice to sit there and think about it, but in all actuality need to take some action. While you can try to find loans, even car title loans or paycheck advances, you will eventually have to pay those back. While these are possible solutions to a very short-term problem, they are only going to make your problems more difficult later on. Learning to manage your finances better to cut down on some unnecessary ones is going to get you a lot further than a loan will.

A quick fix when thinking that I need money now is a sell some of the things you own. You can do this through eBay or craigslist. EBay is a more secure way to go about this, but it can take some time to get somebody to win auction. Sellers on craigslist at barter, but you can get whatever you are trying to sell out of the door within a day or two. It is really a trade-off either way, so be sure to weigh the pros and cons before jumping in either one.

If you live in a house or apartment, and you have a spare room. You could rent it out to somebody. This can be a great way to make your monthly rent or mortgage bills a little easier, especially if they pay half of the monthly bills. The downside to this is that you will be inviting somebody you do not know at first to stay in your home. This can be a slightly paranoia inducing experience if you have never done this before. It can get past this fact, this is a great way for you to make your monthly expenses little easier on you.

And of course, the most plainly obvious to cut down your expenses. This could be on junk food, then I of electricity you use, the amount of cigarettes you buy, or just any spare money that you happen end up spending. If you can cut down your expenses then you are doing yourself a world of good. While this is not may I need money now solution, it is a fantastic long-term solution.

Thanks for the post Ashley!

Make Money Online Selling eBooks

In this short post, I’ll try to tackle how to make money online selling ebooks. Most of you should know about ClickBank.com, the premier ebook marketplace. There are so many guides out there on how to select a product, gravity, percent commission, etc., etc. Here’s my take on this process. Look for something you might be interested in buying for yourself. I am sure that you will find something because the marketplace section has so many products to choose from. There are tons of categories so don’t head straight over to the very saturated IM section. Try something easy like baking recipes or look for a hobby book like stamp collecting or gardening. You are sure to find something that is not in the extreme competition category.

Once you find a product you might like, go to their sales page. If you want to make money online selling ebooks, you need to select a quality vendor. Does their sales page look professional? Is the ad copy compelling? Would you buy the ebook? How about pricing? Will you make at least $15 to $20 from the sale? If not, I would suggest finding a different product. Also look for leakage. Leakage means ways for the customer to leave the page without buying anything. Do they have adsense on their page? That is not a good sign. Do they have a very obvious affiliate program link? That is not always a bad thing, but being too obvious is not a good sign. Check the niche traffic statistics to see if there is any traffic for this niche. If you see that the top keyword gets 10 searches per month, chances are you need to move on.

Once you find the ideal product, you are on the road to making money online selling this product. If you want to test the market, I would suggest building a free blog like a Squidoo lens or Blogger blog first. Write a few articles that pre-sell your prospect without seeming too obvious about it. You should be honest and post the weaknesses in a product as well as things you think could make the product better. It would also help if you reference some of the competing products and review them also.

Well, that’s all we have time for today. I will elaborate more on ebook selling in future posts. Hope you enjoyed this one.

Free Make Money Online With Adsense eCourse!

Make Money Online With Adsense

Many people ask me how I make money online with adsense. I have posted hundreds of posts answering this very question.

There are many ways to make money with adsense. Most people I know make about $1 per month or less. No, that isn’t a typo, it is the truth. Do you know why this is? Well, most people have no idea how Google’s Adsense program works, none at all.

I know how to make money with Adsense. My sites make money month after month without new content and without promotion. You need to promote your site initially and if you are in very competitive niches, you’ll need to add content and build links to keep your rankings. I have many sites in low competition niches that have not been touched in several years, so it is entirely dependent on the niches you target.

Anyway, all the wisdom I’ve amassed is finally in one place. I have a new eCourse that details how to get up and running making Adsense cash. The really good news is that it’s free! Yes, FREE! OK, enough suspense, here’s the link: Make Money Online With Adsense. Go there now before I launch the ebook version and charge you $97 instead of $0 :D Please feel free to let me know if you like it. Post your comments here.
