Dream An Idea Then Create A Product

Are you someone who is always coming up with great ideas? Do you then stutter over how to make them a reality and by the time you get to the next stage find that your idea is already one of the hottest selling products around?

Ingenius ideas come to many people but advancing those ideas on to the stage of being able to create a product is work heavy. If they are only just a creative spark in your mind, how exactly do you go from thinking to creating such a great product?

A lot of creative work is involved in the development. You have to start to produce your dream. Giving up if it doesnt work out first time is not an option. Fine tuning your creation is a must and it is not easy for those who are not inventors.

You need to get something down on paper, a basic blueprint at minimum, write it down. Then you need to do something so simple but it is important if you want to claim the copyright to the product. Take an envelope, place your idea inside and then post it to yourself (Im not crazy, no, read on). You will have a date on it. Heres the most important step. Never open the envelope, ever. If an argument arises to do with copyright, your blueprint of the idea is firmly sealed with a lawyer waiting to open it. Even better is to hand the sealed mail to a lawyer to keep it safe for you.

You realize then that you need finance to start your project. How do you find someone who would be interested in your project? You could start by talking about your idea. You know when you have a great thought to create a product, and you can see the end result, but to convey that thought is an art.

You will need to compile a budget and a projection of what you anticipate all your earnings and costs to be. If you could imagine going to the bank and asking them to finance the project, then all you would need to give them would be what you should be offering someone else who would be putting money into the project. Consider if it is worth employing an accountant to produce professional budget, projections and any statistics you might need.

You will need to trust people with your ideas and sometimes paying for a professional could make you a far bigger profit. Consider getting somebody involved who has no interest in the project, and listen when they say that it doesnt make any sense. It might be the way you are telling them the idea, and then you could need to be getting someone to put the theory into an understandable format.

Article Writing Basics

If youre thinking about getting into article writing for profit, there are a few basic things that you are going to need to know.

While this article is in no way a complete tutorial on how to write an effective article, something that would take a book to accomplish, it should get you off on the right foot should you decide that writing articles on the Internet is something that you want to pursue.

The first step in writing an article is to decide what it is that you want to write on. Because there are so many topics in the world, the list that you have to choose from is almost limitless. So it is best to start with writing about things that you either know about or have some familiarity with. This will make the process a lot easier.

The next step, after you have chosen a topic, is to pick the slant you want to use, which will ultimately lead to choosing a title. For example. Lets say you want to write about music and the slant you choose is History Of Rock Roll. This is obviously going to take a lot of research, unless you have a built in encyclopedia inside your head. But at least you have a starting point and a title.

The next step in writing articles is to research your topic thoroughly. This doesnt mean to go and read one article and paraphrase it. That is technically plagiarism and will end up getting you into a ton of hot water.

Youre going to need to research at least three resources online and understand what youve just read. You then have to take the information and put it in your OWN words. At first, this is a little on the tricky side, but eventually it does get easier. Your best bet is to start off with writing articles about subjects that you know something about. That will make the task a little easier.

The next step in article writing, after you have done your research, is to take all the information that youve compiled and organize it into sections or paragraphs. You want to have an introduction followed by what I call the meat of the article and then a conclusion or summary.

is the standard form by which all articles should follow. It makes them easier to write, easier to read and more effective for getting people to your site. The meat section of the article is usually three or four paragraphs, depending on how many points you bring up in the article. Each point should have its own paragraph.

After you have organized everything and written your four or five paragraphs, the final step is to proofread everything. Dont assume that your first draft is going to be perfect. It wont be. You may need to do one or two revisions before you get it just right. Of course you need to check for spelling and grammar mistakes as well.

These are just the basics, but they should more than get you on your way to writing articles that youll be able to submit for profit.

Quick Ways To Make Money - Article Writing For Pay

It baffles me how folks will wait until all heck breaks loose before they start pouring into forums and other communities screaming, Help, I need an idea for making money quick! Well, fortunately for those who dont plan ahead, there are some ways to make a quick buck online.

Today we are going to focus on one of those ways, which is actually one of the easiest ways, and if you put some time into it, one of the most lucrative if you know how to go about it. I am talking about article writing for pay. Hopefully, after reading this, youll have all the information youll need to go about doing this.

Let me start off by saying that there is an enormous need for articles and other related content. Why, you ask? Well, take a look at the search engines and go to just about any web site in the world. What do you think youll find there? Content, thats what, and lots of it. The reason is because content is how sites climb up the search engines.

The reason is because when people go to a search engine to find something, they are looking for content, a solution to a problem, information, whatever you want to call it. So, the web sites with the most content are the ones that are at the top of the searches because Google wants to give people what they are looking for.

Now, where do you think this content comes from? Well, it doesnt come from a hole in the wall. These sites have to do one of two things. They either have to create this content themselves or they have to go out and buy it. Most of the site owners either dont have the time or the skills to write this content. Thats when they look to freelance authors for material. And that is why article writing for pay is such a great way to make a few quick bucks online.

Okay, so how do we go about making this quick money through writing articles? Well, there are essentially three paths you can choose to get this done. The first, and the easiest, is to go to special article submission sites, like Associated Content, that pay you directly for articles that these individual sites buy. The pay range is pretty wide, anywhere from $3 to $200 per article. Naturally, the articles that pay $200 are much more detailed and a lot longer. But the money is out there without question.

The second path you can choose, which is a little more time consuming, is to go directly to each site and make them an offer to write articles specifically for them. The advantage of this is that they know they are getting unique content and therefore know that they will be paying more for these articles. An article that would normally pay you only $3 will probably be worth $10 to these individual sites.

The third path, which takes the most amount of work, but can be very lucrative, is to set up your own web site and advertise your freelance services. This way, people will be coming to you for articles. The hard work of course is setting up your site and then promoting it.

Article writing can pay very well and the turnaround time as far as payment can be as short as a few days. This is certainly something youd be smart to consider if you want to make some quick money online.

Google - King Of Pay Per Click?

You know that a company has a corner on the market when people refer to pay per click advertising as Adwords campaigns.

This is a testimony to the Google empire. But make no mistake about it. Google Adwords may be the biggest game in town but theyre not the only game in town. And unless they start easing up on advertisers, there is a good chance that Google may very well be knocked off their thrown.

This article is going to point out the problems with Google Adwords that may very well lead to their downfall.

As what usually happens when a company gets big is that they get too big for their own good and think that they can do and get away with just about anything.

That may hold true for a while, but anybody who thinks that a giant cant be knocked off its thrown, better take a look at what happened to ATT and IBM. They are both no longer the monopoly that they once were. And in the case of IBM, theyre not even number 1 anymore.

The first problem with Google pay per click that is really getting advertisers annoyed is their rule that you can no longer send customers to a sales page that isnt yours. Well, you could, but you wont get very far. Turns out that they really penalize you heavily if all youre doing is sending people to a landing page of somebody elses product as an affiliate.

The reason, they say, is because when they allowed this, customers would click on ads and each one would take them to the same page. This was ticking off customers so Google had to put a clamp on landing pages for affiliate products. This has driven costs for some keywords through the roof.

Another problem with Google is how strictly they hold you to the targeting of keywords and the pages they apply to. It is quite understandable if you are targeting keywords that dont at all apply to the pages you are sending customers to, but when Google thinks that a keyword maybe only slightly applies, theyre going to hammer you almost as hard as if the keyword didnt apply at all.

Take a look at some of your campaigns and check out the keywords that you thought were perfectly acceptable. Many of them are now costing 10 to 100 times what your other keywords are costing.

And finally, lets be honest, Google is not all that easy to use and master. Thats the reason why there are so many books written on the subject. It takes an awful lot of study to get Google pay per click to work efficiently.

Many people simply dont have that kind of time and ultimately give up on their Google campaigns, especially after theyve been slapped. Thats a term used to apply to the act of turning your keyword costs into yesterdays filet mignon.

As more and more people get fed up with Google because of high click costs, they will slowly turn to the other engines like Yahoo and MSN. After a while, Google will realize that theyre not the only game in town.

Web Site Design Tips - Navigation

In this first of a series of articles on web site design, were going to start off with a topic that is probably one of the most important aspects of web site design itself, that of navigation.

Many a web site has gone to the proverbial Internet graveyard because of poor or non existent navigation, and that is no way to run a business. This article will give you some basic tips on navigation that will make your site one that people will enjoy coming to and not get lost at in the process.

The first thing you need to know, is just what navigation is. Navigation is the term used to describe how a visitor gets from one page of your site to another. Now, if you have a one page web site, this doesnt usually apply unless you have anchor links on the page that take people to various parts of that page. Normally though, navigation applies to sites with multiple pages. The more pages you have, the more tricky navigation becomes.

Navigation needs to be looked at the way you would look at the table of contents in a book. If you were to go to any table of contents, youd see a page number next to each chapter name. That way, you could easily jump to that chapter in order to read it. This is especially useful with technical books where you may only need the details for a specific procedure.

Well, web design is no different. Lets say you had a site on health products and you decided that you wanted to have a main page to greet people, a page with the products you promote, another page with articles that address health related issues and finally a page for people to contact you at if they were to have any questions. Now, this is a very simple web site, but it still can easily illustrate the point.

The navigation should be simple and clear. The most common forms of navigation are either menus that go across the top of the web page or menus that go down either the right or left side. Left is usually more common that right. As to top and side, its pretty much split down the middle. The key, however, is that you want the navigation links to be uniform throughout the site.

In other words, if you decide to go with left side navigation links for the main page, then, in the case of our example web site, you would also want the links to go down the left side for the products page, articles page and contact page. Each page should have the exact same layout and look exactly the same except for the content on the page.

The easiest way to do this is simply to create a main template that includes all your navigation and use that template for every page on your site. That way, there is no way that you can foul this up as you are simply taking the same HTML shell code and using it for each page. All you need to do is change the content.

Also, make sure that the links to each page are large enough to be seen and attractive looking. You want your navigation to look as interesting as the rest of your site.

While this is a very simple and basic example, it should be more than sufficient to provide you with a web site that people will feel comfortable coming to and not get lost at in the process.

Quick Ways To Make Money - Selling On Ebay

In this second of a four part series on making quick money online, were going to focus on probably one of the most popular ways to do this, selling on Ebay.

You dont even have to be a professional marketer to make money on Ebay, thats how easy it is, if you know some basic dos and donts. In this article, were going to give you a basic outline on how to go about making some quick cash selling things on Ebay with the least amount of work and the quickest turnaround time as far as payment.

For those of you who dont know what Ebay is, its an auction site. Actually, its the largest auction site on the Internet. Commercials for Ebay are even seen on TV, thats how popular it is. The basic concept of selling on Ebay is very simple.

The majority of people simply look around their home for things that they no longer want or need and put them up for auction to the highest bidder. Some people will simply post a firm price for the item and sell it for that price, hoping that somebody will purchase it at that price.

So, where do you begin? The first thing you have to do is open up an account with Ebay. This is very simple to do. Youll also need to open up an account with PayPal in order to accept payments easily. Most people dont want to go through the hassle of getting a merchant account when all theyre doing is selling some trinkets from around the house.

After you open up your account, you simply gather up as many items from around the house as you feel you will need to sell in order to make whatever amount of money it is you feel you need quickly. This is going to vary from person to person, obviously. You may have trouble parting with some items, but if you need the money that badly, youll find a way to do it.

After you find your items,. you go to your Ebay account and take out an ad for each item. You then mark on the ad if its an auction, meaning that youre going to start the bidding at a specific price or if the item is going to be sold at a set price. You can do either one. Again, it depends on how much you need and how much you think you can realistically get for each item.

This is where people get into trouble, either putting up the item for too much money and not making the sale, or starting the auction too low and making very little because there is no real demand for the item. This is why you have to do your homework first to determine how much you can realistically expect to make.

The payout turnaround time is literally that day, if the item sells. You can then go to your PayPal account and request direct deposit into your bank if you have a premier or business account.

There is no doubt about it. Ebay is one of the best ways on the Internet to make quick cash.
