God has been blessing me and continue to do so. That is why I am always grateful to our Heavenly Father for my well being and general good health to do the things I like.

Newbie Guide to Make Money Online

Making Money Online – The Beginner’s Guide

The question of how to make money online has many different answers, though the effectiveness of the available opportunities may vary. If you have things to sell, there are a variety of options that you can use. Or, if you are more of a writer or a website builder, you have the option of including paid advertisements in your newsletter, blog, or site.

The Internet is the ultimate frontier of commerce and marketing in the information age. With thousands of homes and businesses subscribing to Internet broadband technology every month, Internet entrepreneurs are keeping up with the pace of potential demands. For example, in 2008 alone, 90% of all U.S. households that have Internet connections have availed of broadband technology — which means around 200 million people can be reached through online marketing means.

Asia alone holds the single biggest online market for any kind of products and services — more than four times the size of the North American online market. As the sophistication of technology continues to increase exponentially, online marketers are moving from simple text ads to richer multimedia experiences that aim to sell and to give value at the same time, to prospective customers.

So Many Articles to Write

There are so many articles to write for a particular site but I shall not over exert myself over making money online and instead will blog here and take a slower pace. In 2 days of blogging marathon, I have made some US dollars but that is all there is to it. My eyes need a break and I have taken longer naps closing my eyes and shield it from the sun light too with a blanket over my head. The topics are quite profound and it is not easy to write the articles if you are not familiar with mortgage and bankruptcy. Incidentally, bankruptcy is close to my heart as I have a friend who is bankrupt due to signing papers to be a corporate guarantor. Such naive acts on his part cause him to be declared a bankrupt and his passport impounded. He got cheated by his business partners!

My Weight has Gone Down a Little

This morning as I wake up and promptly checked my weight, I am happy to see that it has gone down a little and I hope to be on the downtrend for the coming weeks to a normal BMI and within healthy range. No longer do I carry unnecessary weight around like gold bars on myself, with slower movements and being sluggish. Healthy people are slimmer and live longer compared to obese ones who are faced with many sickness like diabetes, stroke, heart attacks, etc. Thank goodness, I am cover by 2 insurance policies for medical bills and hospitalization. But even so, there is a term and limit to the coverage until a certain age like 70. I hope by then, I will continue to enjoy my life and live to a ripe old age.

Advantages of Blogging in both Personal and Business World

Blogging has become a very important aspect of communication, not just personally, but also professionally. If you are already signed up with a web hosting company, then check your package to see if blog hosting is part of the overall fee. There are many advantages to blogging, not just as a personal pastime, but as a way to enhance business relations, sales, and productivity.

In a business capacity, a blog has numerous advantages. It is an immediate method of communication. If you are in a fast paced or competitive industry, and you want to be the first to get word out about an issue, then blogging is a great way of achieving that goal.
Internally, posting a blog to pass on information or update a policy is a quick and money saving method. This ultimately saves on the cost and the time it takes to send out a paper memo. Just remember, however, that even if your blogs are password protected, blogging is not meant for confidential matters.

My Eyes are Tired

I think I have been looking at the computer screen for too long and I am now feeling the effects. My eyes are tired from too much posting into my blogs due to marathon blogging. I need to take a break and rest my poor eyes. The glare of the screen makes them worse when you are staring at the screen for long hours in a shot without short breaks. But the temptations of getting paid for each post is there and I cannot run away. So I decided to break it down to 2 days instead of 1 day as I have 48 hours to blog since I reserved the slots.

Gold Bullion as Investment?

The value of money keeps decreasing with each passing year and we need to consider the various types of investments to grow our income. Using the rule of 72, if the inflation rate is 6%, then it takes 72 divided by 6 equals to 12 years for our money to half it actual value. Likewise, if the interests rate is 4%, then it takes 72 divided by 4 equals 18 years for our money to double it present value. Though I cannot afford to buy gold bullion, I will certainly consider investing in government bonds with interests or coupons at 5% currently. There is no minimum to invest and that is the beauty of it. The period is for 3 years and every year I can get 5% more of the principal invested.
