The Ten Commandments of Online Income
I am a self confessed "internet dummy." For years I had been trying, without success, to generate a good online income from recurring subscriptions. Just when I was tearing my hair out with frustration, something extraordinary happened-- I had a vision! I woke up in the morning and suddenly understood everything there was to know about internet marketing, all at once, as clear as crystal. The vision came in the form of Ten Commandments which I take great pride in sharing with you below.
Commandment One
TO SELECT YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS, USE CHANCE
To develop your online business-income please ignore your regular email and go straight to your spam folder. When selecting an appropriate business you should aim for the best and that means spam. Nothing is "over-hyped" in this folder, and you can always rely on the messages being realistic and true. Pick any 15 messages relating to income programs. Write the names of them down in a word document. Blindfold yourself and point at the screen. Which ever one you touch is your program and you can discard the rest and start earning income.
Commandment Two
ONLY COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR SELF
Do not make any contacts with anyone online. To maintain your integrity and independence do everything alone and in isolation as this is the purpose of the internet. New online marketers soon realize that everyone they talk to is an expert. Therefore, by logic, if everyone is an expert then you must also be an expert, so that is why you only tutor yourself and take no knowledge from anyone else.
Commandment Three
NEVER USE YOUR TIME WISELY
The basis of your success online is to be as fresh and alert as possible, and to use good time management skills. The suggestion is to spend one hour sleeping and 23 hours online. This online time should be spent doing practical things that help your automated income business. These activities include watching your favorite movie and video clips, playing solitaire and reading spam emails. Seven minutes a week should be enough time to deal with the other less important issues such as infrastructure development, marketing, networking, training, site-development and planning. Try not to interrupt your online activities with meals. If you must eat then download some simple snack suggestions where you can hold the snack in only one hand, allowing you to type with the other hand. This has the added benefit of reducing any downtime caused by cleaning dishes.
Commandment Four
NEVER PLAN OR EVALUATE
Do not ever draw up a plan or evaluate an outcome .There are many problems associated with plans. They require some form of ACTION to achieve results. But what if no results come? Then you would be worse-off than if you had taken no action because you have wasted your time. And time is your most precious resource. So the solution is to "save time" by doing absolutely nothing. This state of inertia achieved through doing nothing should be highly regarded because it means that there is always the POTENTIAL to do something, but never wasting time doing it.
Commandment Five
NEVER USE LINKS ON THE INTERNET
The great danger with clicking links is that you may be transported to a site from which you CANNOT return. Worse still is the possibility of landing on a link farm. These farms are notorious for capturing online visitors and keeping them against their will. The link farm owners make you work for them by placing you with other prisoners for an indeterminate amount of time. Sadly, you may even be placed beside a dead link, which hasn't yet been removed. This can be a shock and there is nothing you can do to help! You are then used as BAIT for other visitors without fair compensation. This is tantamount to slave labor!
And what about the significance of the link COLOR? Links are mostly colored blue for a reason. Only people whose favorite color is BLUE are likely to click on it. What about all the visitors who have green or yellow as their favorite color, and what about those who are color-blind? You are probably starting to realize that the use of links on the internet could be far more sinister than you think.
Commandment Six
THE ONLY WORTHWHILE ONLINE ADVERTISING IS "WORD-OF-MOUTH"
Classified Ads are useless because as the name suggests they are top-secret, and so people are afraid to read them. Solo Ads are better, but unfortunately they prefer their independence and tend to wander around the internet like a lost traveler. Banner Ads have a lot of EXPOSURE but only seem to advertise banned sites. So the practical means of advertising on the internet is "word of mouth." A good idea is to mention your site name to a family member in polite conversation. But do not give the site ADDRESS to anyone, even to your mother (unless she insists). Follow this rule and I can guarantee your site will remain in almost total obscurity which is perfect because no one will ever be able to criticize your site.
Commandment Seven
HAVE BLIND FAITH IN ALL PAYMENT PROCESSORS
Payment processors are possibly the most popular entities on the internet. To find the most suitable one for your business is paramount. You must only choose those providers that have a solid track record of destroying hundreds of affiliate commissions programs, internet businesses and e-commerce sites through their incompetence. These companies must be doing something right if they are still around. A quick search on "payment processors" should provide you with an ample number of such companies ready to take you on board. In narrowing down your list of eligible companies look for the one which charges HUGE fees for transferring your money. If they charge high fees they must be good. This is a sign of quality. They give you QUALITY and you give them QUANTITY. That way you MUST make your business a success so you can pay the processor fees.
Commandment Eight
NEVER GET CAUGHT IN THE TRAFFIC
Someone on the internet once told me I needed TRAFFIC, and that he would help out by sending me some. All I had to do was pay him. I was very obliged because my car blew a gasket and I had two bald tires. I waited patiently on my porch for 2 weeks but no traffic came. When I contacted him again he told me that without traffic, I would be useless, and that I must target the traffic. He said the reason why I was not getting traffic was that I was not targeting traffic with KEYWORDS. So I decided to act on his advice and made a huge canvas sign and wrote all the keywords on it. The only keywords I could think of were: key ring, locksmith, padlock, keys, and key holder. I faced the giant sign in the direction of the highway and waited for a result. I am sad to say that I still did not receive any traffic so find it difficult to endorse any traffic programs on the internet.
Commandment Nine
TERMINOLOGY CAN BE A STICKY BUSINESS
Here are 5 simple online terms that you will need to use every day:
Blogger: Someone who does their morning jog whilst holding an internet device
Slugs: These are small animals that make attractive marks across your monitor
Spam: A type of dog food, easily downloaded to feed virtual pets
Keyword Cannibalization: A nasty method of devouring anti-vegetarian keywords
Link Bait: This is a type of poison that you leave out for the spiders
Commandment Ten
PLEASE, NO CONTENT
Content is king. Every visitor is looking for quality content. So if it is so good why make it easy to find? Make the content on your site HARD to find. Make your home page BLANK. This will be so different that visitors will be totally intrigued. They will be at a loss as to know how to navigate your site. This will cause frustration, leading to anger. Now you will be set up beautifully for what in the industry we call the "emotional sell.
This sell will be achieved by having a piece of text scroll across the screen with a comment such as "ARE YOU ANGRY YET?" Repeat that phrase in 2 minute intervals with a blank screen in between. Then scroll a text link asking: DO YOU WANT TO BUY ANYTHING YET? If the person is still there, and they are still emotional, and they click the link, you might have a sale. But first you have to ask them what products they would like to buy. For an income generating site is the simplest way to get sales on the internet.
Disclaimer: Please do not take the comments of this article seriously. They are meant as a joke, so please do not try to implement any of the suggestions.

Profiting from Adsense
You've probably heard a lot about Google AdSense, but you may not know just what it is. Well, for one thing, it's a one of the hottest new ways to make money online without having to do a whole lot. If you've read Robert Kiyosaki's book, 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad', you know that passive income is the best kind of income to have.
You'll have to invest just a little bit of time in learning about it, but once you get it set up you can look forward to seeing those nice checks roll in. Or, if you're totally online, seeing money flow into your PayPal account.
Google AdSense is a fast and absolutely ridiculously easy way for people with websites of all types and sizes to put up and display relevant Google ads on the content pages of their site and earn money.
So what kind of ads do you have to put up? That's the good part. You don't have to decide. Google does it for you. AdSense always delivers relevant ads that are precisely targeted on a page-by-page basis to the content that people find on your site. For example, if you have a page that tells the story of your pet fish, Google will send you ads for that site that are for pet stores, fish food, fish bowls, aquariums. You get the picture.
Here's the thing you need to know: Google has no strict criteria for acceptance into the AdSense program, and Ad Sense doesn't hit you with a minimum traffic requirement. The only criteria they're really sticky about is the standard 'acceptable content' requirements, and that's pretty standard almost anywhere.
Once you've been accepted into Google AdSense, you'll be able to get the AdSense advertisements on any site you own using the same ad code, provided you obey the Google guidelines. (And that's very, very important more on that later.)
It's easy to get started with AdSense and it only takes a few minutes. You fill out one single online application and that's it. Once you’re approved, it takes only minutes to set up AdSense; all you have to do is copy and paste a designated block of HTML into the source code for your site. Once you do that, targeted ads will start showing up on your website and start watching those nice checks roll in.
While i can't guarantee results, of course, since a lot of your success lies in your own hands, i wouldn't have written this article if i didn't believe in the power of Google AdSense. A lot of webmasters are making a lot of money off of AdSense, and there's no reason you shouldn't be one of them.
To date, comparisons of AdWords rates with AdSense earnings add up to commissions of between 40% and 60%. People speculate all the time on user boards as to why Google refuses to publish its commission rates, but no one has the answer. It might have something to do with legal reasons or it could just be that Google wants to retain the ability to change rates without having to send out an announcement about it each time, which costs money.

A Home Based Business That Works
Everyone seems to be trying to work from home today. With the success most people are having from running a home base business everyone wants to get in on it. I myself have started up a home based business, but I keep my full time job. I have the time and freedom to do what I want to my business when I want.
Starting a home business is not that easy though. You have to be willing to work hard to get it up and running to the point where it almost makes you money without you doing anything. Once you have reached that part of your business that is when most people will start another home business. That is how they make even more money by running more than just one home business. It took me a good two months before my home business got off the ground and into gear.
I have the found the perfect work from home business that anyone can do. With my hard work I put into my home business I started to see results a few months after I started. What is this business? It’s working with the e-currency exchange program. It is simple to start but hard at first because there is a learning curve. I bought a simple guide that showed me step by step how to start off in this amazing business. Once I was done I invested $400 and applied the steps that I learned, and watched my money grow to $4,000 in under Two months.
The more you put in the more you will make. My little brother (21 years old) didn’t think it worked but gave it a shot and only invested $100 into it. Before he knew it his money turned into $700 in under 32 days. You can see just that little more put in will make a big difference. The great thing about the e-currency exchange program is that your money grows everyday by 1.5% - 4.0%. There is nothing better than watching my money grow day after day. This is the easiest home business that I found that really does work.
