Never underestimate the power and usefulness of a good book.
A book can change a life, save a life, build a career, bring joy and understanding, or inspiration. Learn a new skill, how to make and fix things, and so much more. Check out our amazing selection of books about amazing mysteries. There’s a LOT going on that may thrill you or shock you. Some books are ancient and still a classic after thousands of years, such as the Upanishads of India. Countless millions of people have gained wisdom and enlightenment from that book, and many others.
And, not only can you save money by buying great used books, but you can often sell books back to big distributors. Every day you may pass by some books that a wholesaler might like. Get a bar-code app from TextbooksRus.com or Fatbrain.co.uk
Scan the book’s code and see if they’re buying it. you may be surprised what is in demand. There are so many books out there the price may not be high, but you can often get stacks of books free or really cheap, by the box full, at rummage sales, thrift stores, yard sales, or in the trash heap. Recycle, let someone else use a book that you may not want.
Many people don’t realize how valuable books can be. Oddly enough, some books are getting rarer ( and more valuable ), because of the internet, collectors, and curious people who love to read. Textbooks can be worth a lot of money, but they must be current editions. If you have textbooks to sell, do it soon before the new edition comes out.
Do you know that Google wants you to make a lot of money ?
Google needs people to put up great content websites that attract visitors who can see Google’s Adsense ads.
You may not realize that Google needs highly specific content, sometimes in very narrow niche markets that are not being served. You may be just the someone with expertise in something that Google has advertisers for, waiting for good content to put their ads on.
Go to the Google home page, and if you don’t have an account, sign up for one. Then, read through information about their advertising programs. Google pays money for click throughs and searches
Friends, the economy is shifting very rapidly and a lot of people are not up to speed.
It may sound crazy to earn money online while you sleep, but it works for good reasons.
Here’s why:
Business and sales depend on communication with customers and suppliers through advertising. That’s always been true, but reaching target audiences has been difficult.
Once upon a time, the only way a business could get customers was by using signs, and even that was limited to a local area. In those days sign painters had it really good. No sign, no sales. That was also the era of door to door salespeople. Wow, try to imagine that today !
Then, there are newspapers , magazines, and radio, which have become very powerful marketing tools. They became the staple in advertising for a long time. Then came TV and at first, only a few channels were available, now there are hundreds.
Problem is, TV and magazine advertising is VERY expensive, has to be planned way in advance, and there’s still no guarantee anyone who sees the ads are good buyer prospects.
The internet has changed all advertising forever.
Why? Because the internet can reach highly specific categories of customers, who are on a page because of a search, and most important; the internet advertisements can track, time, and measure responses to advertising.
That’s an advertiser’s dream, knowing their ad is being seen by someone who is truly interested in a particular product or service. Today, you can advertise your business online through many different methods and know that most of the people seeing your ad are very good prospects.
And the price for that incredible, specific, tailor made advertising? Much, much cheaper than TV and print media.
That’s why advertisers are leaping into cyberspace advertising like never before.
Some other advantages of advertising online ?
Speed. You can place an ad now that will be seen now, or in just a few minutes, by a lot of people.
Range: “Viral” marketing, where one of your ads gets spread around all over the place by other people, for free.
Price: Cost per targeted audience is very reasonable, providing you are specific enough in your ad and keywords.
Reach: You can reach around the world, literally, with an online ad.
Shipping: It’s possible today to ship things almost anywhere, and have someone pick it up at your home or office and take it far away to your customer.
And now, one of the biggest factors of all for online income
Downloadable Information Products, or DIP’s: You can sell something that requires no inventory, no warehouse, no sales staff, and virtually no cost to create, just make another electronic copy and send it on its way.
Since the cost of production and delivery is extremely small, the price can be set very reasonably to attract buyers, AND there’s still enough profit to allow seller and agent ( affiliate ) to both make a huge percent of the total sale.
That is a revolution in business, my friends. It’s happening now and will be accelerating in years to come.
And YOU can benefit if you understand what’s going on and how to take advantage of the changing economy.
Please read information on this site, click on various links and do research. Almost anyone can find a way to make at least SOME money online, even if they like their current job.
There are things on these pages that a 10 year old could do.
What do I do if I’m really low on money and need cash FAST
Okay folks, I know how it feels to be poor, believe me.
First thing, collect yourself, there are things you can do to make some cash soon. There are a number of things that you can do, not just one thing.
Step one
Do you have a bank account? If so, go online to Paypal, and set up an account with them. Paypal asks for a bank account that you can use to transfer money to and from. What happens is you create an account so you can get paid online from anywhere by anyone who has a paypal account or credit / debit card. You need that first so you can collect the money you’re going to make. Look at these option and see if it’s something you can do.
Idea 1
Selling something you got for free on Ebay
Find some stuff to sell on ebay. If you think you don’t have anything, think again. Just about everything sells on Ebay, and sometimes you can sell stuff right away, with a BUY IT NOW price to your Paypal account that you set up. They pay for shipping, too, so don’t worry about that.
Look around your house, yard, ask friends or neighbors, and get some stuff together. What you are looking for is something with fairly high value ( 30 or more dollars ), that you can easily ship. It can’t be real bulky, like a bicycle or furniture. Lego, watches, old pens, clocks, useful small appliances, stereos, CD players, games, quality clothes. You can research on ebay what stuff sells, so go onto their site and set up an account. Generally, the higher quality the merchandise, the more likely it will sell fast for more money. In other words, the name brands.
Just because it’s big or bulky doesn’t mean you can’t sell it on Ebay. Just make sure it’s worth a good penny, worth shipping or delivering. You can always lists something as “local pickup only”, great for cars, machinery, furniture, etc. And, you will be surprised what people in say, Japan, or China, will pay in shipping to get things like vintage cameras, tube amps, etc. Do some research.
Take some DECENT pictures of the thing you’re selling
I can’t tell you how many times I got a great deal on something because the photo was terrible, but I knew its value. You don’t need a pro photographer or camera. Use a decent point and shoot digital camera, use daylight, or near a window. Have an uncluttered contrasting background, and take several photos, not just one. People will buy what they can see. Give them a good view from several angles. If it’s a small item and you need a closeup, don’t expect a cheap digital camera to do macro shots, although many of them have a setting for that. take a photo at a proper focus distance, in high resolution mode, and later crop it down to size so you can see details.
Follow through on the Ebay listing process, load up a few good photos, write a full, informative, and accurate description, and select a price. To find a price, type is some searches on Ebay for your item, see what’s out there selling, and look at the prices. Look at completed listings ( ebay has a box you can check to see ended auctions ).
If you need money really fast, list your item with a very attractive BUY IT NOW price. You will likely get a fast sale if it’s something in demand.
Selecting the item to sell.
List your best and biggest value items first, get them going. Then work on the smaller stuff. They will sell too, but it can take as much time and effort to sell a small item as it does to sell a bigger item.
Choose something you can manage to ship and pack easily. UPS can pick it up, or you can take it to the post office. Things that are not fragile are even better, like clothes, or baseball gloves. You don’t want to have any broken items or your reputation on Ebay will suffer. Always leave our customers feedback. Most of them will respond in kind.
Now, watch your auctions, like little baby trees.
See how many visitors and watchers there are. For every few “watchers”, there will be a “bidder”. Try adjusting the price on slow moving items. If it’s a hot item, you’ll have watchers or even bidders quite fast.
I often use a 10 day auction. You have to pay a tiny bit, like 40 cents, and wait 3 more days. It always pays off with more bids and higher sale price. Include a BUY IT NOW price if you want a fast sale. Don’t worry if the bids seem low. A lot of people but in a minimal bid at first, but they are watching it. Many times, the last few minutes of the auction is where the price really spikes up. If you have more than one bidder, that’s a really good sign.
People are looking for bargains, so don’t ask for the moon.
If you need fast cash, sell stuff fast for good prices and just go get more stuff. There’s PLENTY of stuff around to sell on Ebay. You can get a lot of stuff free if you know where to go: yard sales, rummage sales, town dumps ( Yes, people throw away thousands of dollars worth of valuables stuff. )
I have a friend who used to make 10,000 dollars a year selling stuff he got at the dump, before it went into the crusher. That income saved his house and his marriage, and allowed him to spend a lot of time with his young children.
Take a look around your home, then go onto Ebay. Start making some money, my friend. You have hidden cash all over the place.

( okay, have a savings account too, but don’t forget to create an income stream along the way )
How much does your savings pay while you’re heading towards retirement?
How much will it pay YOU once you stop working?
What if you could have income streaming in right on through retirement until the day you die, AND, keep on going to benefit your family?
Does that sound crazy?
There are things that you can do now, even in your spare time, over a long period if you wish, to build up a steady residual income from a variety of online sources.
For example:
Membership plans to interesting sites that you create, and newsletters that you publish
A digital information product, or DIP, that you create, and keeps selling month after month, passively, delivered by email automatically.
An Ebay business that sells a lot of similar products, easy to list and sell, and often you can have someone ELSE actually ship it.
Copyrighted content such as songs you write, or pictures you take There are companies right now who would like to use your images on a shirt, or mug, or some other way. You can find these companies online, and you can have your own products created so you can sell them.
You can use the internet to create steady, long term income. Here’s ONE of many ways, listen and learn.
It’s good to save some money, of course. But don’t be afraid to spend some money learning how to make passive income that will help support you when you are too weak to work, or just want to play during retirement.
But not just because you can hear about someone’s hangover or dog doo-doo.
It’s CRAZY for business and social networking.
It’s the fastest way to reach a broad, interested, relevant market, and meet new contacts,in real time.
The old way was, have a website, do google, do a MySpace thing, and wait.
BORING, takes way to long and we’ve got things to do.
Hey, we carry our computers around with us these days, people. and they have tiny keyboards, we have short attention spans….
Give us the goods, the tip, the link, the gossip, the news, and give it to us Short and Sweet.. and NOW, too. okay ?
