After 2 weeks of searching and reading and subscribing to potential Gurus website for a way to generate money online, I learnt only one thing : Information Overload !
This does not helps much after forking out a substantial sum of money to learn the tricks of the trade about making money online. Why ? The more I read, the more confused I become ( Almost the same situation when I joined an MLM business venture ). Unlike in the MLM business, I have a Mentor ( usually my Upline to guide me as she has been in the business much longer than I am ) and the communication is close and personal whereas on the web, the so-called "Guru" throws you a ton of information's on how to get it right without pointing the Short-cut to preparing the process.
There are simply many ways to make money online. Despite everything is web-based and information is offered through the pages displayed, they all looks the same for a beginner. Its only through reading its Content, will one knows the purpose of the website presented.
Methods of generating money comes from Internet Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Information Marketing, Network Marketing and many more. Regardless of which category of business you are interested in, you are guaranteed to do the following :
1. Read plenty plenty of information's regarding the business
2. Learn how to setup Website, Auto-responder and ways to generate traffic
3. Learn how to write Contents for your web pages
4. Learn how to write Articles to promote your business or website
5. Learn how to write Articles or EBooks to make money
6. Learn how to incorporate unique graphics, banners, advertisements to your website
7. Learn how to incorporate music, video, Forms, Links to attract your visitors
8. Learn how to SELL your Niche so that regular visitors come to your website
and there are many more tactics out there that one can learn.
I am sure by now you will be wondering if this is suitable for you just as I was asking myself when I join the MLM business venture. The answer is :
In order for anyone to learn something new, there must be an educational process by which you have to go through. Some learning are made easier because of an established system ( school and institution )or some learning comes from personal mentoring by a Leader ( Private Tutor / Business Leader (Upline) but the toughest of all is self-education / self-learning.
If you are hungry to learn something, nothing can stop you in the path. You will know how to overcome the difficulties, challenges or opportunities it presents. But if you are not prepared for it, thousands and one reasons will come out from your mouth to justify why it is not suitable for you ( we call it EXCUSES ! ), right ?
I am very convince by now that there are ways to make money online by writing Articles or Ebooks, otherwise we will not be able to see all these websites ( Hundreds of Millions ) promoting their Niches. In whatever opportunities we are looking for, we must give ourselves Time to familiarize those process so that eventually the money will start flowing in. To do it at a faster pace is obviously a choice you have to make but I always tell myself that "There is no such thing as a GET RICH QUICK opportunities out there ! If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably IS"
I urge you to treat your venture into the web as a form of learning that will eventually equip you with the skill to make the money you want. As long as you believe that you can do it, it will be done !

Any Ways To Make Extra Income ?
"Is there any ways to make extra income without the huge capital outlay that a normal business requires ?" That is a question I have been asking for more than 10 years by now and the answer still eluded me. I am sure that there are also many people having the same thought process. I strongly believed that there are many ways to make money but it does not necessarily be suitable for everyone including me.
I can choose to sell Curry puffs or Newspaper and Magazines or Fruits such as Mango, Watermelon etc at the nearest MRT station but will it be suitable me ? I can also be a "karang guni" collector running from residential estate to HDB flats to buy those disposable items at a cheap rate and selling it to the Major Collector at some flatted factory in the industrial park somewhere ? Most people will give thousand and one excuse not to do any of the above as it can be "embarrassing", but my question will be "If you have no other choice, will you do it ?"
Frankly speaking, we all know money is important but there are still many people out there who want to save "face" by not doing any of the above-mentioned work. When I left the Army and become a Salesman in a Computer Firm 23 years ago, the look on some relative and friends face is that of bewilderment, doing sales sounded very cheapskate. Some people even avoided the issue by calling the sales that they are doing as "marketing". Isn't it the same ?
Its a lucky thing that I have learned a long time ago, not to let such things bother me. Can 'Pride' feed my stomach or my family ? Of course NO ! I will do anything as long as I honestly and seriously put in 100% effort to make that money I needed. Although I have not become rich in the process but I know that I have no worries when the time arrived for me to do those mundane jobs which many others will run away from.
Most important of all, I strongly believed that anyone will do their utmost best if they need that extra money to solve their daily expenses. Therefore, when I prospect people for my Network Marketing business, I will not waste my time on those people who gives me thousand and one reasons ( excuses ) why the business don't suit them. Instead, I will continue to find and invest time on those people who are sincere in wanting to make that extra $100 to $200 for their monthly expenses. With that in mind, I know I will find a handful of sincere and hardworking people that I can work together with to build OUR business.
Life is too short to be worrying about why people don't work hard or don't improve themselves or why when you stretch your hand to help someone, they will suspect that you have an ulterior motive in helping them.
I know what I want and I want to show anybody who need that simple know-how on generating some extra cash for themselves or their family. It does not matter if the "lobang" is tough or otherwise, as long as he or she wants to do it.
From now on, I will append any information's that can give us a thought on some money making opportunities and I hope that it will benefit somebody somehow.

Network marketers: pros or cons?
Monte Enbysk is a lead editor for the Microsoft.com network and writes occasionally about technology for small businesses.
By Monte Enbysk
Network marketing adheres to a fundamental tenet: Lotions, potions and a slew of other products can be better sold face-to-face, without stores or middlemen.
The industry got its start in the early 1900s, and became popular in recent years through companies such as Amway. Network marketers sold door to door for years, with varying degrees of success.
The Internet era hasn't done anything to change this. However, the Web has revolutionized some marketing and distribution practices within the industry. It has made it faster and less costly for legitimate network-marketing companies to get the attention of potential customers.
Unfortunately, the Internet also has made it easier for illegal companies — mostly the skilled perpetrators of pyramid schemes and related scams — to get in the face of consumers as well. Many of these scam artists portray themselves as honest network marketers.
If you are interested in this high-risk but potentially lucrative industry, read on. You'll find some background on network marketing, as well as eight tips to help you distinguish a legitimate business opportunity from a fraud.
Amway spearheaded industry growth
First, some background on network marketing, which is also known as multi-level marketing (many people use the terms interchangeably).
Among its founding principles:
• A direct selling process lets distributors of certain products "educate" consumers more successfully (and more economically) on the products' merits than catchy TV ads or fancy store displays.
• Customers who are sold on a certain product can be motivated to sell it themselves, and to recruit others to become sellers as well (forming a business "pyramid" of sorts over time).
• Sellers will have an incentive to sell and to recruit others, as they'll be paid commissions both on their own sales and their recruits' sales. In other words, the earlier you get in to the network, the more money you can make.
• Last, but not least, success is not guaranteed, and only the best products and services — and the best network marketers — will survive in the business.
Founded in 1959, Amway has built a multi-billion-dollar business on these basic premises. In the late 1970s, it successfully fought off claims by the federal government that it was an illegal pyramid scheme. In prevailing in court, Amway proved the key test of a legitimate business — that even the last person recruited into its networks can make money. (In a pyramid scheme, large numbers of people at the bottom end up paying money to only a few people at the top.)
Today, legitimate network marketing companies span the globe, with several hundred in the U.S., including recognizable names such as Avon, Mary Kay, NuSkin, Unicity Network (formerly Rexall) and Herbalife. The products they sell range from vitamins and weight-loss plans to skin-care lotions to software and even dental insurance. Together, network marketing companies generated $28.7 billion in U.S. sales in 2002, according to the Direct Selling Association (DSA), a lobbying association that represents network marketers and other companies who sell directly to consumers.
'Technology a two-edged sword'
How pervasive is fraud in the industry? More pervasive than ever before, say many industry experts, although the Federal Trade Commission does not have statistics to quantify the impact. "I can tell you that, in the last 10 years, with the growth of ,the Internet, we have seen a significant growth in the number of apparent pyramid schemes," says Jim Kohm, the FTC's assistant director of marketing practices.
The low cost of entry into the industry long has encouraged scam artists. But the Internet has enabled them to market their schemes to consumers as successfully as it has legitimate network marketers, Kohm says. "Technology has proven to be a two-edged sword," notes Keith Laggos, an Amway veteran and industry expert who publishes Money Maker's Monthly (www.mmmonthly.com) and Direct Sales Journal (www.directsalesjournal.com).
8 fraud detectors
So how can you tell a scam or a shady business from a legitimate money-making opportunity? Here are eight things to consider before you take the plunge.
1. Make sure that a solid product or service figures prominently in the business.
Sounds simple, but in many pyramid schemes, the product or service is a mere "fig leaf" to an illegal source of revenue — often the signup or membership fees required just to join a network. (Most will never see their money again.) Be convinced the product or service is not a gimmick or a throwaway, but one you'd buy yourself.A related scam, the Ponzi scheme, involves no products at all, but rather promises of investment or insurance windfalls. Most network marketers do charge a nominal signup fee of $30 to $60. But if there is no product being sold, keep your money — don't be swayed by the "benefits" of becoming part of a network.
2. Confirm that the commission structure is supported by product sales.
Note that you are not becoming an "employee," but rather an independent business operator earning sales commissions. In illegal businesses, you can sell well but have your commissions diluted by other costs or obligations. For example, the FTC in 2000 shut down a Las Vegas-based company operating in eight states, because it required participants to pay excessively for seminars and desk space. Only a handful ever made any money.
3. Don't pay more than $500 in initial "buy-in" costs.
Most network marketing companies require you to buy a certain amount of product to get started. If joining the company means you have to buy $500 in products or services, or if you see excessive product inventory costs, period, watch out. And again, if you are asked to fork over money without getting any product at all, flee as fast as you can.
4. Beware of high earnings claims.
Many convicted pyramid schemers have been charged with misrepresenting the potential earnings of participants. You should expect reasonable commissions and growth opportunities, but nothing grandiose. Be wary of inordinate product and earnings hype. A rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
5. Don't participate unless the company is willing to buy back inventory. Many scams — and some legitimate businesses — will refuse to buy back the leftover inventory you've purchased, even if you decide within a year that network marketing is not for you. In its membership requirements, the DSA mandates that network marketers be willing to buy back unused inventory, for at least 90% of the sale price, within a year of the sale.
6. Find out if the network marketer is a DSA member.
The nine-decade-old association is the closest thing to a governing body for network marketers. The Direct Sales Association has about 150 U.S. member companies and some 50 others undergoing an intense application process for membership, says Joseph Mariano, executive vice president and legal counsel. All members are listed on its Web site. While less than half the U.S. network marketers are members, if the company you're interested in is a member, that's a good sign.
7. Find out how long the company has been in business.
At least 90% of all network marketers fail within three years. About 80% fail within the first year, notes Bill Rodgers, a veteran Seattle-area network marketer who served as president of the Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce. If the company you're interested in has been around for more than three years, it is likely not only legitimate, but viable.
8. Do your due diligence.
While you want to stay away from scam artists, you also want to avoid wasting time and money with a loser company. In Rodgers' own guidelines for assessing network marketing opportunities, he asks:
"The FTC has been quick to identify and act on the companies engaging in illegal practices," says Rodgers, a marketer for Unicity Network. "Unfortunately, it takes a number of people to be swindled before the problem surfaces.

360 Degree Swing
After viewing this morning activities on the Stock Market, the feeling just feel sucks. One day its going up and before you knew it, its coming down on another day. As a result, I skimmed through the web searching for some kind of inspiration to enlighten the day ahead. By some co-incidence, I came across a Video that not only did not improve the feeling I've already had but it intensify it so much that I can feel the adrenaline flows in my body until I almost have a sweaty palm. Nevertheless, I do feel better now.
I think that as far as one is enduring enough, everyone will still comes back in full circle in whatever they are trying to overcome. The financial situation worldwide will definitely turn around to where we were 2 to 3 months ago if not, better next time round. So be patient in whatever you are doing.
Now is the time to think deep into what exactly we want for our near future, be it for our family or for ourselves. If the job or business that you are doing now seems precarious, try looking for other opportunities that can generate some extra income. Move out of your comfort zone and start learning something that relate strongly to your niche. Perhaps, you are good in sales or perhaps you are strong in helping people, you will not know unless you start asking around or identifying for yourself what you are strong in.
There are plenty of ways to make money out there, its just a matter of choices. Look around you everyday as you travel around the city, you will find people selling newspaper and magazines, selling fruits, selling curry puffs, selling ice-cream and many many more. There are also people who rather work from home like fitting components supplied by factory, sorting promotional articles for an event that is printed by the printing firm, generating work of arts or musics and for the technical savvy group of people including me - searching for Internet Marketing Opportunities on the web. To me this is FREE Business which you can embark on, only if you can make yourself walk out of your comfort zone.
How you decide to make that extra income is really up to you because the best opportunities or job can still fall on your lap provided you are hungry for it. God also cannot help anyone if they don't help themselves !

What Must I do Now ?
With non-stop bad news coming from all the media that you can think of during the past few days, it clearly tells you that whatever income you are generating from a single source can be easily compromised.
For instance, if I am working for a huge company that was already in the news about its financial situation then I would be very worried about what must I do next. You cannot possibly be always "hoping" that everything will be fine. Look at Lehman Brother which has collapse, who would expect it to happen so suddenly ?
As the world financial woes takes root, more companies will find ways to enlighten their financial burden as such they will off-load those people who are considered "redundant" and "non-profitable" to the company. Its like in the old days, when a ship is encountering a very serious storm and in order not get sunk, they start to throw away those least important inventories so as to lighten the load of the ship.
What's make you so sure you are not the next person ? We must not delude ourselves that the situation will be better in the short term as no one can predict what is happening right now. Instead, I will look for an alternative way of making money so that I will not be caught in a dead end situation.
There are plenty of opportunities out there for the grabbing. Take up those jobs that the government claims we do not want, or we can identify what strong niche we have and offer it to those in need of that service, or we can start a small and simple business that does not need a high overhead to begin with. Most important of all, we must be willing to ask around for these opportunities and when you have it, you must be willing to learn.
The only way to become what you want to become is to DO IT and to take consistent action on your hopes, goals, dreams and desires. Inaction is what keeps you stuck in where you are. So, learn to raise yourself from Inaction to In Action !

Factors that make people want to do a business !
The past few days was not a very typical day due to the turmoil in the financial markets…….and probably for many of the readers out there too…..
Some people may feel that this is not the right time to commit to attending any event that claims to be able to change your future.
The truth is just the opposite!. With so many unforeseen circumstances happening in the market, the banks and even many others industries … it is the right time that you MUST make a commitment to building your own financial future through some form of business.
Remember, nothing happens without action.
To find out why there are people who want to do business or what is your Life’s purpose, this simple Quiz will show you where you’re at the moment :
1. I sometimes feel that there is something missing in life.
2. I don’t felt much joy in my life.
3. I feel there is something I am supposed to do but not sure what it is.
4. It’s difficult for me to relax; I feel like I must do something.
5. There are things I want to do but I am afraid to embark on it.
6. I don’t enjoy what I am doing but I don’t know what else to do.
7. I’ve all the things that are supposed to make me happy but I’m not.
8. I believed I can contribute more than I could do
If you have answered YES to any of this questions, then either consciously or subconsciously you’re searching for your Life’s Purpose, or you haven’t figure out a way to align your Life’s purpose with your ACTION.
What are the motives that makes a person want to do a business ?
Make an idea happen
Develop a hobby
Make more money than before
Freedom to choose approach to work
Be my own boss
Get more respect
Dissatisfied in previous job
Challenge myself
Lead and motivate others
Continue family tradition
Been out of work
Make a lot of money
Follow example of admired mentor
Better position in society
Pursue personal Dream
Change into a Positive Environment
Surveys has shown that almost 80 – 90% of people who started their own businesses actually selected Freedom in approach to work as their most important motive followed closely by Make more money than before.
Why ?
In our society today, many of us are paid a salary to perform a certain role in a company for a period of time. We called it a Job, Employment or Occupation. However, the way things are right now is so much different from the earlier days.
Many soon realize that in order to save cost, these companies make them do more works to justify their salary that they were getting. They perform several tasks or roles in their daily activities so much so that they don’t have any time left for themselves or their families.
Many of these works that they are doing can be very boring, yet many of them keep doing it because they don’t know what else to do.
There are people who works for 10 to 40 years thinking that they have “job security” but is the job really secured ?
Look at recent events in the world, we can see or hear news of :
1. Companies going bankrupt without much warning,
2. Companies axing workers worldwide to save cost,
3. Tension between citizens and government,
4. Real Estate is not as promising as before,
5. Stock market is in a roller-coastal and many more.
The repercussion effect on these people, who are trading time for money, is so bad that it affects the country economy as well.

Who are the potential people who wants to build a business ?
The answer is EVERYONE who wants to MAKE MONEY !!
Very often we hear people asking :
“What are the most important things in your life?”
The most common answer will be Friends and Family. However, when someone answers Money as important, they are usually being perceived as a greedy or a selfish person.
No matter what others might say, everyone cares about money because it is a medium for surviving in this world.
It is also not possible to live a complete or successful life unless one is rich. No one can rise to his greatest talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money to buy stuffs that can help him to unfold his soul and to develop his talent.
In the book, “The science of getting rich” by Wallace D Wattles, he mentioned
“There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praiseworthy.”
There are plenty of opportunities in this world for everyone to explore. Whether we are factory workers, or individuals, or people belonging to a class, we are not deprived of these opportunities.
If we are not making enough money or feel that we can make more money somehow or somewhere ,then, we must take the first step to understand why we need a business and how it can be done.
If we don’t start to change our way of life ( the one which we do not want now ), what do you think is the way of life we will become in 5 years time ?
Exactly what we are, right now !!
