How to Make Money

There are a million and one ways to make a million, both online and offline. Here are some constructive tips to get you on the way to making money towards your financial goals.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Get a job. Remember, a job should not be evaluated by how much you make a year or an hour, it should be evaluated by how much you make divided by the time it takes you to do it. Maximize profits and minimize time. Find this job (hopefully something you enjoy AND are skilled at) and get as much ROI (return on investment) on this as possible.

2. Create a new idea. A young man created a website called the milliondollarhomepage.com, and he attempted to sell each individual pixel on his website to online advertising. In a very short amount of time, he accomplished this goal and made a million dollars to pay off his college tuition, and as he puts it, "buy some swanky socks".

3. You don't have to be the best at something to teach, you just need to know more then the person you are teaching. If you love playing guitar, become a guitar teacher. How much does it cost? Approximately thirty minutes out of your day, once a week. Find friends in your local area who would be willing to pay you for your services, and use them as a way to network out into your community.

4. Offer your strengths to a company's weakness. For example, if you are a good typist, there are plenty of venues both online and offline that will offer you database entry positions where you can set your own hours and work from home. All you have to do is proofread and type up documents; something that you can do more efficiently then others. This can be used in all frames of reference.

5. Remix an old idea. Some of the best moneymaking ideas were revisions of an original idea. For example, Google may be the number one search engine in the world, but if you can create a search engine catering towards dessert recipes called TastyClicks.com, you may be able to steal away a significant share of profits from Google in that particular niche. When I say significant share of profits in this statement, I am referring to making several million dollars -- enough for someone to retire on.

6. Optimize your time. The number one reason people are not making as much money in the least amount of time is because most have no idea how to manage their time successfully. It's amazing how so many people say they are working on something, when in all actuality you are doing nothing. For example, many surveys suggest that quite a few employees can do their work in half the time allotted. Working a 9 to 5 job is okay, but why not strive for more? On the side take surveys, become a freelance writer, create an ebook (check my article on how to make quick profits with this), create your own eBay store, or become a domain reseller. How much does it cost to invest in domains? On average, $7-8. You can afford it, so why not try it? The worst case scenario is you lost a fast food meal, the best case scenario is you can make a turnaround profit between $50 to $10 million dollars. Take the hours you have in a day and maximize profits yet still remaining healthy and happy. Do you really need to watch your Deal or No Deal marathon? Watch an episode and then spend some time on something profitable.
