How You Can Start Your Own Free Money Making Websites

If you've searched all over the internet for free money making websites, search no more because this article has been written specially for you. There are two aspects we will be looking at:

(a) The free websites and

(b) The money making websites

If your budget is low and you are looking for free website platforms, there are many options all over the internet that you can choose from. Webs, Weebly and Wix are three of the best choices that you can use to build your own website using their step by step system. As usual, certain features are limited on the free account, you can always upgrade at any time if you enjoy their service. They all offer tutorials to help you get started if you're a newbie to building websites.

The second option is to create a free blog. Blogs are different from websites because they are updated frequently and consistently with your articles (posts). A website is more static; the information that you put on the pages of your website will not change too often or too much. Check out, WordPress, Thoughts, Hubpages and Blogger (these are some of the most common and popular ones).

The money-making aspect to apply are the same, so it doesn't matter whether you opt for the main websites or blogs.

Let's look at how you can monetize your site....

1. Google Adsense Ads: This is one very easy way to monetize your website/blog. Once you're approved into the system, ads that are relevant to the content of your site will appear and when your visitors click on these ads, Google pays you a percentage of the advertising fee (avoid the temptation of clicking the ads yourself because you could get banned and forfeit whatever money you had previously made). It doesn't get any easier than that!

2. Affiliate Links: Another good way of monitizing your site is to offer affiliate products to your visitors. Sign up for an affiliate account with any of the affiliate programs and choose the products that you want to promote. Clickbank and Commission Junction are the most popular but the first doesn't accept members from Nigeria, you can do a google search for affiliate programs but be sure to check out the credibility of the company.  Please make sure that the item you promote jive with the contents of your website or blog (your blog articles can't be talking about "Making Money Online" while you are busy promoting "Baby Food Products"), hope you get the point. You earn a commission anytime somebody buys a product or service from your affiliate link. Some affiliate programs pay between 50 - 75 percent commission on the value of a product, the more you are able to sell, the more money you will make.

There aren't too many guaranteed ways of earning money without actually spending any. . .but the free money making websites system defy the norm!

Surprising Lessons For Work At Home Moms

"Hello, I'm Samuel Mokum"- Surprising Lessons For Work At Home Moms, Dads and Youths

I've unearthed some surprising bits of wisdom by listening to Johnny Cash lately. I thought I would share some of these morsels from the Rockabilly legend.

1) Understand Your Man ...or, target market!

That's right. Do you understand your target market? Are you aware of their needs, desires and driving ambitions? Does your website speak to your target audience? If not, perhaps you should make some changes or your website visitor or customer will be "as gone as a wild goose in winter" too!

2) A Boy Named Sue

Life isn't easy for a boy named Sue... and life isn't easy for a wham either. In your business you will have those confidence killers, dream stealers, fun suckers...whatever you want to call them. You will have people who try to tell you that you can't achieve your goals, that what you try won't work. Don't let them get you down!

Sue's father told him, "This world is rough, and if you're going to make it, you've got to be tough."

How can you get tough in your business?

3) Man In Black- or Branding 101

J.R. Cash didn't don the all black suit because he didn't have anything else to wear. It was his trademark. He wore all black for a reason.

What about you? Are you working on your brand? In a world full of Dangotes and Mike Adenugas, how will you stand apart? And remember, your target market doesn't have to be just like you- Johnny Cash wrote Folsom Prison Blues and connected with inmates when he had never yet step foot in jail!

4) The Legend of John Henry's Hammer

This song has two bits of wisdom:

a) Learn your business and you will succeed

John Henry's Daddy told him to: "Learn to turn a jack, learn to lay a track, learn to pick and shovel too." Are you learning all you can about Internet Marketing so that you can succeed in your business? Do you reinvest in ebooks, coaching and mentoring, and software like John Henry's hammer?

b) Technology has its place but it can't take the place of humans.

When the steam engine threatened to take the place of men, Johnny proved that in the end, humans are more valuable. Learn to use technology (like autoresponders) but remember that your website visitor is a human and inject some of yourself into your marketing efforts.

5) One Piece at a Time

This ballad is about a man who decides to build a Cadillac. He steals one piece at a time from the assembly line "and it didn't cost him a dime". But in the end, it didn't work out exactly like he planned!

Does your website look like a pieced together jalopy? Are you unwilling to spend any money on your own domain and hosting, content with a free site cluttered up with ads?

6) In The Jailhouse Now

Please don't throw away your hard work by doing one of the following things:

Spamming

Copying other people's articles or content

Stealing graphics

Clicking on your Adsense ads

Not keeping records and neglecting to pay taxes

It just isn't worth it, and you may find yourself in the jailhouse. Much better to Walk the Line so you can sleep at night.

7) Ring of Fire

Maybe you've made a bad choice... entered into a shotgun romance with a business that's not right for you. Don't be afraid to realize this, chuck everything and start over! Don't beat your head against the wall if, after working hard on a project, you decide it's just not profitable. Better to find your match and pour your energies into that.

In this song, June Carter Cash chronicles her growing attraction to John. Though they were both involved with other people, they were obviously soul mates and ended up making music and growing old together for the next 40 years.

May you make beautiful music with your business! Till I come your way again, I remain my humble self.

3 Powerful Tips for Getting into the Right Business for You

In two previous articles, "The #1 Best Business to Get Into if You Want to Get Rich" and "How You Can Find the Financial Success You're Seeking", one of the single most frequently asked questions was asked.

Although it's asked in many different ways, the question really boils down to...

“What's the best or the "right" business or profession to get into if I want to get rich?”

Regardless of how it's asked, the answer is always the same...

A business or profession which you like!

If it uses your strongest abilities, skills, or talents, all the better. If it doesn't, no big deal, you can develop the necessary abilities, skills, or talents as you go along.

Here are three powerful tips for getting into the right business or profession for you:

Tip #1 - Take a close look at what you DON'T like to do.

Although I don't generally recommend looking at anything from a negative perspective, there are times when it's helpful and this is one of them.

One of the easiest and fastest ways to narrow your search for the right business or profession for you to get into is to figure out what the wrong business or profession for you to get into would be.

For example;

If the very thought of selling something to someone makes you want to...

Well...

Let's just say...

Throw up...

Then I'd suggest you don't consider any business or profession that involves sales or at least direct sales.

I can tell you from personal experience...

If you get into a business or profession that you don't like, you'll be miserable in the process and ultimately you'll fail.

So...

Why set yourself up for misery and failure ahead of time?

Tip #2 - Take a close look at what you DO like to do.

It might be something you're doing now or have done in the past to earn money. It might be a hobby or special interest of yours. It could even be related to a class you took in school or a particular subject you're interested in...

Anything...

Absolutely anything!

Remember this...

You can get rich in *any* business or profession (as long as it is legitimate).

There are folks right now, right this very moment, who are getting rich in every conceivable business and profession...

And so can you!

There's a way or ways you can get rich doing absolutely ANYTHING you like to do.

Here's a great example...

I know a girl who earns a SERIOUS full-time income doing exactly what she likes doing better than anything else...

Now...

There's a downside...

She really doesn't like selling her "stuff". She finds the selling process boring and tedious. She gets all her "jollies" from finding and buying her treasures.

So...

How does she possibly make any money?

Simple...

She's developed a rather elaborate network of dealers willing to buy her "stuff" in their specialty areas at wholesale prices from her, consignment shops willing to sell her "stuff" for a percentage of the sale, and she has someone who sells her "stuff" on eBay for her (who, interestingly enough, likes the selling process but doesn't like to go out to find and buy "stuff" to sell) for a percentage of the profits.

Although she makes less money per item doing it this way, she makes far more money in the long run because it allows her to massively do the one thing she likes to do better than anything else...

Going to tag sales and buying "stuff".

Remember...

There's a way or ways you can get rich doing absolutely anything you like to do.

Tip #3 - Take a close look at your strengths and weaknesses.

The ideal business or profession for you to get into would be one that you like doing and one that makes use of your strongest abilities, skills, or talents.

However...

Although you should consider them, your abilities, skills, or talents shouldn't be your first consideration when choosing a business or profession for you to get into.

Why?

Two reasons...

First...

There may be all sorts of things you're good at that you don't really like doing all that much.

Second...

There isn't any ability, skill, or talent that you can't develop if you want to.

In his book "The Personal Power Course", Wallace D. Wattles, best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of Getting Rich", wrote:

"Perhaps the most essential part of wealth-culture consists in finding the place where you will be happy in your work."

When you're "happy in your work" your work ceases to be work and it becomes fun.

Your "fun" combined with constructive thought and constructive action can make you rich!

5 Crucial Home Business Tips to Realize Financial Freedom

Starting your home business is the easy part, but realizing your long-term goal of financial freedom takes much effort and dedication. There are many ways to operate a home business, but the tips below outline some solid principals you should follow to earn a steady income from home no matter what your home business.

1. Set Goals for Success

Setting goals will help you stay focused on what you want to accomplish within your home business. Start with long-term goals for where you would like to be financially five, ten, even fifteen years from now. Next, create short-term goals for daily, weekly, and monthly achievements. To attain financial freedom is a great long-term general goal, but it will take many small goals to reach this level. You'll need to set small goals to create a steady cash system. A home business will go nowhere without goals, so take this step before starting any other tasks.

2. Create a Pleasant, Professional Home Office

Evaluate your home business workspace. Do you work in a corner of your bedroom with a desk and computer? Is your office usually the kitchen table between meals? Do you try to work in the living area while the rest of your family enjoys conversation or entertainment? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you'll probably need to make some changes.

Create an office space that is for work only. Even if it's in the corner of another room, block its view with office sectional walls or some type of barrier wall to give a sense of privacy. An office should be just an "office" and nothing else. When you arrive at your office, you're ready for work. When you leave the office space, the workday is over.

3. Get Organized

Once you have a defined work area for your home business, fill it with supplies and tools to make work easier and more efficient. Choose a desk and chair for comfort as well as back, neck, and arm support. Desks with shelves and cabinets can make organizing your office a cinch, especially if you have limited office space. Also, keep a daily to-do list, calendar, and schedule book to prioritize tasks.

4. Stay on Schedule

When you work at home, it's easy to get off schedule because of interruptions or the temptation to take time off for leisure activities. Keep in mind that every moment wasted today usually means more work the next day. Eventually, you'll be working around the clock and never seem to accomplish anything. For home business success, keep a steadfast work routine daily and set a work schedule you can stick with every day. Develop a mentality that every job is actually a pay-by-the-hour job. Every hour spent working will help you make money and gain financial freedom.

5.  Separate Business from Personal Tasks

Once you set a schedule, stick to it. Don't allow personal tasks to get in the way of work. These can be anything from cleaning the house to visits from friends or relatives to watching television. Take breaks from your computer, but try to avoid getting involved in personal tasks during your breaks. Many women confess to washing dishes, ironing clothes, vacuuming, and other personal tasks while on break from their home business. Personal tasks can cause your mind to be off-focus, and it will be difficult to return to a regular work routine afterward.

Find other things to do during breaks that won't take your mind too far away from work. Take a 15-minute walk. Sit and read a self-help book related to your business. Or, take a quick snack break, with a healthy snack of course!

Once you take these steps, you're ready to enjoy a steady cash system at home that works. You can earn money doing what you love most, and your home business can soar to heights never imagined if you stick with these basic principals. Get ready for a bumpy road, but also look for the financial freedom that awaits you just over the horizon!

The Idea Behind Zeros2hero

Am glad you made it here. My name is Samuel Mokum and I hail from Cross River State in Nigeria but currently based in Lagos – Nigeria. I am an internet marketer, a web designer and an investor, this blog has been created to help the Nigerian youths stay encouraged, inspired and motivated towards becoming entrepreneurs.

Idea Behind Zeros2hero

The reason behind this is just simple and clear; to help build tomorrow’s successful businessmen and women today. I aim to share the knowledge and experience I have acquired through the cause of searching for the pathway to financial, spiritual and emotional freedom. Please keep in mind that I may not be a Dangote or one of the very big names who have made it in Nigeria but I aspire to one day be the greatest in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large.

Having been born and brought up in Nigeria, it amazes me when people plan to travel abroad in search of “greener pastures”. How that is possible, I don’t know. In the words of my pastor; “You can’t be a lizard in your country and become an alligator abroad”. Nigeria is blessed with virtually everything from peace, natural resources and so on (not leaving out corruption also). This is one of the few countries where you can go to bed as a poor man and wake up as a wealthy man, you can go to bed as a tenant and wake up as a landlord.
