Passive And Residual Income Opportunities

On 04.09.10, In Employment, By Stevie Wonder

Residual or passive income opportunities are those that do require an initial investment and / or set-up work, but then continue to produce passive or residual income without the need, or with only a minuscule amount, of further investments and / or maintenance work. This kind of residual business opportunities are ideal for people that are prepared to work hard now in exchange for financial freedom down the time line. This kind of business opportunities can be found online as well as off line, just start to think outside the box and you will discover how many of them are there around. Some business ideas for a start that might provide you with a, nearly, passive income for years to come:

Rentals and property

The classic example for this would be to invest in real estate and to rent the houses / flats / apartments out. This requires obviously a high initial investment and also calls for either outsourcing the maintenance work (higher costs) or for doing it yourself (higher time investment). What a lot of people do overlook is that there are a lot more opportunities to earn then with property and / or real estate. Just think about what you own, that others would pay for to use it ;-) Think demand and supply, and don’t forget to cover what ever you rent out with an insurance. Some ideas:

  • Do you own good camera or video equipment? Rent it out!
  • Great children’s toys / games / sport equipment that your little treasures have grown out? Rent it out!
  • Elegant hats and wardrobe? Rent it out!
  • Skills nobody else has? Rent yourself out! Just joking, that would be hardly residual income, that would be called a 9-5 job! ;-)

Your creativity is your only limit. Investigate demand and supply and find your own residual income niche!
Last words of caution: If you plan to rent something out, make sure that it is covered by an insurance against lost / damage etc. You might also want to consider to let the borrower sign a waiver to avoid that you get sued when s/he drops your heavy video tripod on his / her own foot and brakes a toe.

Stock Picking For Profit

On 03.30.10, In Trading, By Stevie Wonder

Have you ever wanted to go cow tipping?  It does sound like a lot of fun and just a little bit dangerous.  While I am not suggesting you do that, I am suggesting that you spend a little time in an activity known as stock picking.  Stock picking is the fine art of being able to determine the potential stocks you want to invest in which will give you the best return on your money.  This is a very important activity if you wish to become wealthy within your trading system.  If you cannot find the correct stocks to invest in, you should either not be involved in the stock market, or you should try investing in tracker funds instead.

Many people will use a stock broker to help them with their stock picking.  They do not feel that they are able to find the winners so they defer to a professional.  This is all well and good but how much trust are you willing to put in your stock broker and are you willing to pay for that service.  Wouldn’t it be great if you were able to find those stocks that you wish to invest in and feel comfortable with that selection of stocks.  Then you would be able to use an online broker to place your trades and save that money that you were paying to your broker.

Stock picking is kind of like raising children.  As soon as you think you have it figured out the game changes on you.  A system that seemed to work well suddenly does not work at all.  This is going to happen.  You are going to find some losers as well as winners.  If one successful rule for stock picking could be found, there would be more investment millionaires out there.  The thing is, there is not one solid and fast rule and yes the game does change.  The thing you need to be willing to do is to accept that fact and move on.  Have an exit strategy for each trade you make.  Be willing to accept a loss if that is what happens and move on.  If there is a loss, get out soon.  Do not fret about your lost opportunities and finances.  Cut your losses and get into the next stock that will be a winner for you.  The sooner you pull your money from a loser, the sooner you will be able to put it into a winner.

There are many different methods you can use when picking stocks.  These include fundamental analysis, technical analysis, value or growth investing.  You can even use a strategy known as Dogs of the Dow.  This is a contrarian viewpoint that all solid beaten up stocks eventually turn and become great again.  What ever you decide to do, like tipping cows, it will be a fun ride.  I am confident that you will be able to make money with this activity.

Making Money With Google From AdSense

On 03.03.10, In Make Money Online, By Stevie Wonder

There are several ways to make money from a blog online and they are available to anyone with a computer and an Internet connection. One of the most popular ways though is to use the Google AdSense program. If you have a website and plenty of traffic then this is definitely the easiest way to start to generate an online income. If have a website but very few visitors then you are going to have to work out a way to get searchers to your pages if you want to make any money at all whether from adsense, or any other program. You can do this by writing engaging content and practicing well known search engine optimization strategies.

With Google Adsense you make money each time a person clicks on one of the ads within your website. Basically Google gives you the ad to put on your site, which is paid for by an advertiser, and they give you a percentage of the revenue that is generated. This is how you are hearing all the stories of people that are making money with Google without needing to sell anything or do any extra work other than upkeep their blog.

Driving traffic is the essential ingredient if you are to be successful in making money from your website. In order to do this you need to focus on building backlinks. Writing articles and posting blogs is the best way to to do this as you are able to include a link back to your pages within the article. Social media sites can also help you drive visitors to your content by offering you the ability to interact with your followers and establish your image in the industry.

Pay-per-click advertising campaigns is another method that can help get visitors but you won’t want to use this if you are using the Adsense scheme to make your cash. Apart from the fact it isn’t going to work from a financial point of view, its also against Google’s terms of service. If you decide to use pay-per-click ads for other reasons you will work with Google to get a small ad listed in the search engine results. By doing this, you will gain greater visibility and people will be able to find you, although you have to pay for this traffic. Of course it is your job to sell your customers on the ads within your site by including a good landing page for your customers to go to. Use keywords in the title tag and throughout the content on your website in order to gain a higher PageRank status on Google and the other search engines.
