Sign Your Own Checks

I like signing my own checks and not pressing a computer button. I have many friends who press computer buttons and often times they end up going out of business. I had one job that for some reason the pricing seemed very high and I was very unhappy with costs. I was not signing the checks at that job. I got very angry at the people running the job and ultimately said to them, "Dammit, I want to personally sign every single check." The minute I suggested this, my costs went down automatically, without negotiating, by 15%. I guess they knew I was watching. It's not a great compliment to the managers on the job, however, and after seeing what happened, I quickly got rid of the top people.

Re: I want to make money online - First, I'd say definitely online. Your $3,000 will go a lot further online than offline. Second, I'd read Kevin's list and the linked article and make a BUSINESS decision what you want to do, what you can offer and who you can sell it to. Do some serious keyword search and find a hungry niche, and this is your start (free). Second step (free): Sign up for clickbank, paydotcom or some other affiliate exchange and find suitable products to promote. Third step (free): Get a free site somewhere, but make sure it's on something that looks like its own domain - yourname.wordpress.com or yourname.blogspot.com or some such. Write some nice things that promote your affiliate products and put your affiliate links on the page. Fourth step (free): Go on article directories like evancarmiahcel.com (if appropriate) or ezinearticles.com and write stuff that is interesting for your niche, using your niche keywords. Put a link to your new site in the resource box/bio. Keep doing this until you make money. My kids (18 and 12 at the time) sold stuff on clickbank. Anyone can do this. Good luck!
