How to Make Money on Your Home

Making money on your home is key to many of you. My clients report that they simply would not consider owning a home that they did not make some profit on. The thought of taking a check to closing is repulsive. Here is what I want you to know about making money on your home.

The obvious things about home ownership that make you money...

  • The whole time that you live in a home, if it is your primary residence, you are saving on your taxes. In other words, you can either use your money to pay for a place to call your own that you are buying, or you can pay more taxes.
  • The home ownership experience lends itself to your higher self-esteem. Self-esteem will lead you to making more money in all aspects of your life.
  • The home gives you a place to do all of your handyman experiences on your own dime with your own result of profit, or not.
  • As your mortgage payments are made over the years, your equity stake in the investment in your home, in most cases, will rise and your debt will fall.

But, on to how to make money on your home...

  • Keep your home maintained the whole time that you live there.
  • Keep your home clean and especially clean it well when you are selling it. Clean homes make 3 to 4% more money than dirty homes.
  • Market your home at a high price instead of what your naive neighbors or low-balling agent of the neighborhood recommends. Go with your gut and go high. You will never get a high price if you don't ask for it.
  • Sell your home with a listing company that has low listing commission fees. Most homeowner's profit is used up in selling commissions. You now have alternatives.
  • Sell your home Staged and maybe throw in some furniture.
  • Get every tool available to make your home look its best on the internet. Virtual tours, Staging, Videos and anything else that you can find. The first showing to potential buyers is on the internet. By the time that the buyer comes to your home in person, it is really the second showing.
  • Offer a home warranty in lieu of some of the inspection items. If this is not enough for the buyer, tell them that you will give them 5 service call deductibles to cover future costs.

To make a good deal on the sale of your home, it is imperative to make a good deal when buying it. Use an experienced agent to help you buy. They are a valued resource and cost you nothing. In fact, in my company we split out our commission with our buyer clients for helping us find them the home.

Affiliate Marketing

Selling is one of the best ways to generate income. It is also one of the ways people do not like to work as to make money.

The reason? People feel that selling things to people is forcing others to buy something. They do not understand people buy not because they need the product but because they want the product.

Therein lies the magic of marketing. Marketing makes people want and want to buy because they create a certain kind of mental image that once you have the perfume or the necklace or bag, you will look younger and prettier.

In fact, it does not make you look younger but you feel that you look younger. So it is not what it does that matters. It is the mental image that you derive from the product that is important.

If there was a way to capitalize on this and you do not need to force people to buy, would you be happy to do it.

There is a very common way to make money which is affiliate marketing.

Through affiliate marketing, you can make money online selling stuff. The promotional sales pitch is completed and so convincing that you also wanted to buy the product. In fact the product is good.

You will come to realize that affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money online just be selling other people's products. You do not risk anything other than your time to help to promote and drive traffic to the product page.

You do not have to sell to the customer, you can leave the responsibility to the sales page.
You do not have to force to talk to the customer because it is through the internet. They can read on their own at their leisure.
You do not have to be there to persuade them because the internet works 24 hours and there is a very common phrases which says you make money sleeping in your underwear.
How apt.

Making money online selling is definitely a profitable and very free and easy life-style. You should try out affiliate marketing as a good source of income.

Difference Between Success and Failure

I'd like to have a dollar for every "get rich quick and life long income" adds I've seen on the internet telling people they can make tons of moneywith aninternet business or marketing, allyou have to do is follow these simple direction. What if we tell the truth about it? That no matter how easy the plan is and even if you have the money for the start up cost, you may not find success or even get a dime out of your business.

Why is that, you may ask? Because it takes more than what most people have in them to find success. What I'm talking about is dedication and motivation to do every thing in your power to promotetheirbusiness. I'm not telling you to spend all of your money on it, butwhat I'm saying is you have to believe in what you're doing. To have the drive and the passion where you will not lose interest and stop in just a short time.

You see building a successful marketing system or business does not come over night, it takes time to grow, to become visible on the internet and the search engine, where people will see your adds over and over again. Even if your product is something that every one wants. You must remember, you are competing with so many others on the net selling the same thing as you are. So what makes you so unique?is it your advertising or maybe it's how you advertise? Spending time working the internet, placing your add every where you can find to place it? Spending long nights thinking of ways to bring more traffic to your site and always thinking, looking and finding something new to promote your business with?

There are no sure things on the internet that will make you successful, no matter how great of a system or product you have.in the end, it's all up to you, but if you have these three simple elements; dedication, motivation and drive, then you're much closer to finding success than a lot of people out there andyou can't buy these qualities. You have to reach down deep in yourself and find them, thenjust maybe, you will find success as well. Just remember, you only fail when you don't learn from your mistakes.

Make Money Online - Info Overload

Do you know what the number one thing standing between your online success is? If you said not having the right information, I'd have to totally disagree because there is so much info available today it will make your head spin.

How about not having the right product to sell? No, that's important to be sure, but it's certainly not stopping you from hitting it big.

Could it be not taking action (letting the fear of the unknown stop you)?

Well, you're getting closer... because it's the reason why 99.9% of people fail to take action. What is it?

The number one thing standing between you and making money on auto-pilot is mastering info overload and focusing through the overwhelm of too
much information!

That's right it's Info overload! Sorting it all out so you know what's right for you, what model you want to pursue, which 'expert' has the right path to follow.

If I was starting all over from scratch not knowing anything today (at this particular point in time), I think I'd probably feel like overwhelmed because there's simply too much info today... too many choices.... too many people to listen to!

Every time you turn around there's another guru with another magic pill for you to swallow... another teleseminar to attend.... ..another eBook for you.... ..another blog or forum to join... ..another squeeze page for a newsletter or eCourse that promises to put you on the path.

Don't get me wrong, there is more and better info and resources available today than ever before. However, that's a double edged sword because even though there has never been more ingenious methods to make money online today, you still have to get started with the right method for you. There are just too many choices.

And, let's face it. We are all different people with different goals, different wants and desires, different backgrounds, different experiences, different challenges, and different ideas of what success looks like for us, right?

Because of that not every solution will work for everyone.

It's about finding the one that works for you and your life. It's got to fit you instead of you trying to fit yourself to it.

If You Don't Know Where You're Going, How Will You Get There?

Sir Edmund Hillary did something huge. He climbed Mt. Everest. In fact, he was the first person in history to do so. Imagine for a moment, a reporter waiting at the bottom of Everest when Hillary finished. The interview might go something like this...

"Sir Hillary! How did you do such a thing? Many people tried to do what you've just done and most have died. Why did you succeed when nobody else could?"

Hillary scratches his head. "Well, I was just walking along and saw this hill. I figured I might try to climb it, just to see what happened..."

As ridiculous as the above sounds, this is the exact way many marketers approach their business. I'm amazed at how many people have no idea what they want. And those that do, usually think small.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret I learned while becoming a clinical hypnotherapist. OK, 2 secrets ... alright, you got me. Three secrets.

The first is that the subconscious mind creates your entire reality. All of it. Look around you. Your job, your car, your spouse, your health--all of this originated in your subconscious mind. Scary, isn't it?

The second secret is that the subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between what's real and what's imagined. This means that as far as the subconscious mind knows, your fantasies, dreams, and even your nightmares have all happened.

Another secret is that the subconscious mind tends to keep bringing you more of the same. For instance, if you're always broke, the natural flow of things tends to keep you that way.

So, if you're not satisfied with your life, how do you disrupt that natural flow and change course? It's been proven that if you keep an image in your mind that, over a period of time, the subconscious mind picks up on that image and acts on it.

There have been documented cases of people making themselves wealthy this way. So how do we use this to our advantage? As marketers, we can start by imagining huge things for ourselves. Why settle for a measly $10,000 a month when you could have millions? Why be satisfied with Everest, when you could have the stars?

Practically, this should take between 2 and 3 sessions a day. Each session should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Now, I can hear all you busy marketers out there moaning, "Great, another thing to squeeze into my 20-hour day!" But it's not like that.

In fact, if this imagining thing feels like work, then you're doing it all wrong. This is play. Fun time. You should be smiling, or even laughing while you envision your wants. If you do this enough on a consistent basis, your subconscious will pick up on it. You are essentially activating your mind to do the job for you.

How did Hillary do it? He became obsessed. He planned and thought about what he wanted. His first attempt at climbing Everest failed, but did he focus on that? Nope. He saw what he wanted, and I'm sure he imagined many times how his victory would taste. Likewise, if you plant the seed in your subconscious, nothing short of greatness awaits.

Make Money Writing - Write Local

Want to get started writing for money? Writing makes a great home business. However, you should forget the Internet, because you can make more money writing local. I've been teaching my copywriting students to start their businesses by writing local for years.

"Write local" works for other kinds of writing too. For example, an easy way for new writers to start is by writing resumes for people who are looking for new jobs. You can advertise your resume-writing services in local newspapers.

Here are some additional ideas of what you could write for local businesses:

* Advertising

* Newsletters

* Articles

* Business letters

* Web sites and Web content

Advertise Your Writing Services - Get Known and Make Money

For local companies to hire you, they must be able to find you. This means that you need to get known as a writer in your local community. The easiest way to do that is by advertising.

But what if you don't have an advertising budget?

Advertising doesn't need to be expensive. There are many cheap ways in which you can advertise. You can put notices on community notice boards, or print out flyers on your computer and leave them with local businesses.

Another way to advertise without spending money is to get to know your local business community. Every community has business groups and you can join the networking events at these groups, often for free. Take along some business cards and hand your card out to everyone you meet. Don't forget to put your web address on your business card.

Once you've been to a couple of networking events, offer to speak at one of them. You can give a brief talk on a topic like Internet marketing, advertising online, or creating a search friendly website for example. Speaking is a no-cost way of advertising your services, and you will find that any speaking engagement you have result in several new clients.

Writing for local businesses is the easiest way to get started making money writing as a new writer. You'll find that once you get your first client, your name will be passed around, and you will get more writing jobs than you can handle. Get started today.

Regardless of the reason, you want to make money online. So what is a strategy that you can use? This article will discuss a method that you can put into action in order to make money on the internet.

This method is for you to create your own product to sell to customers.

Yes, you can sell your own products online. What if you do not have anything to sell, you may ask? Think again. You can create products that are informational, not physical.

So how do you create your product? Well, one way is to use the knowledge you already have on a particular subject and create it yourself. If you want to write about something that you do not have knowledge about, you can conduct research on the internet from reliable sources and create the product that way.

Chakra Balancing the Reiki Way

Chakra is best described as one's life force energy. It is our physical, mental and spiritual self. We absorb energy around us while at the same time transmit energy back into the universe.

Essentially there are 7 main chakras in the body. They run through the central line of the body, from the bottom of our spine to the top of our head. They influence your body shape, glandular processes, chronic physical ailments, thoughts and behaviour. If one a chakra is blocked, weakened or disrupted through such things as trauma (physical or emotional), injury, negative thoughts or feelings, fear, worry, anger, anxiety, depression, destructive relationships or neglect, it will result in an imbalance that will manifest itself in other area's of our life.

Chakra #1: at the base of the spine represents - survival, instinct, support, peace

Chakra #2: at the sacrum and represents - desire, pleasure, emotion, yin/yang of existence

Chakra #3: at the solar plexus representing - will, purpose, energy, ego, power, freedom

Chakra #4: located in the heart representing - love, divine spirit, compassion, life, relationships

Chakra #5: located at the throat, representing - expression, truth, voice within

Chakra #6: located at the centre of the forehead, representing - vision, insight, imagination, clarity

Chakra #7: located on the crown of the head, representing - no limits, infinite awareness, wakefulness

Reiki with its gentle process through touch or touch-less therapy and pure in energy form, can balance chakras achieving stress reduction and deep relaxation. It triggers the bodies natural healing ability improves mental and physical health and maintains it. It gently balances our life energies and brings health and well being of the entire physical, emotional and psychic body.

Chakra balancing the Reiki way is truly a system of attaining and promoting wholeness of mind, body and spirit.

When we are relaxed, we are stress free and we are better able to naturally heal ourselves. With regular therapy, one will increase the bodies built in defences to fight or prevent illness, feel more confident, think clearly, feel grounded, feel in harmony within one self and become better equipped to handle stress, anxiety, depression and life's surprises and disappointments.

Regular Reiki treatments, while relaxing and calming also bring balance to chakras so that one feels refreshed and renewed mind, body and spirit.

Internet Marketing Tips

One of the most debilitating activities that newcomers do online is that they spend so much time searching for the 'best' business opportunity, and in the end nothing gets accomplished. Because they spend more time searching for information than actually taking action. To create ludicrous profits, you have to take action to make that happen.

Cut out spending too much time on email, cut out Twitter, cut out Facebook, cut out spending too much time watching television. That is, if you want success! Success on the Internet, or in anything else, doesn't happen by chance. It happens by focusing on your business model until it is producing profits.

Set some 'set in stone' goals for your business. How much do you want make per month? Is it $1000 every month? Or $10000 per month? Create a concrete goal that you can work towards so that you can stay motivated and energized to work on your business. When any distraction comes up, you can ask yourself 'does this get me closer to my goal?' If it doesn't, either put it to one side first, turn it down, or deal with it quickly.

Spend your time online wisely. Twitter, Facebook and forums have their place, but only after you have finished your work for the day! These are generally time wasting activities that don't contribute directly to your business, so you have to ration the time spent on them to be supremely productive. From my estimation, 90% of online entrepreneurs are distracted practically twice per minute. Be in the 10% who are dead focused on what they want and how they are going to get it.
