Here are the Easiest Ways to Make Money Online

Image
Yes! There are many easy ways to make money online without sweating or getting frustrated. There is no “push button easy” way to make money online. 99% of potential entrepreneurs quit because it’s harder than they expect. With that said you have 2 options as a beginner: 1) Sell a product 2) Sell a service Breaking that down further, as an absolute beginner, you’ll probably want to stay away from developing your own product and despite what some others might say, developing your own service. Dropshipping & affiliate marketing are the 2 “easiest” ways for beginners to get off the ground…(again, easy is a stretch here)

Image
  Many people perceive being wealthy as having nice houses and a pleasure yacht. But the kind of money that the wealthiest 1% of the world's households has dwarfs this concept. This segment of the population large portions of major corporations, multibillion-dollar investment funds, islands in the Caribbean, and even rocket ships taking them into outer space. The average net worth of the 1%, aka the richest 1% of the global population's households, has mushroomed over the past two decades. It now towers higher above the net worth of the average citizen than ever before. Here are some of the basic facts about how the 1% lives.

6 Investing Mistakes the Ultra Wealthy Don't Make

Image
  The ultra-wealthy, known as ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), make up a group of people who have net worths of at least $30 million. The net worth of these individuals consists of shares in private and public companies, real estate, and personal investments, such as art, airplanes, and cars. When people with lower net worths look at these UHNWIs, many of them believe that the key to becoming ultra wealthy lies in some secret investment strategy. However, this isn't usually the case. Instead, UHNWIs understand the basics of having their money work for them and know how to take calculated risks. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ultra-high-net-worth individuals often understand the importance of savings, the basics of investing, and how to take calculated risks. Concentrating portfolios with investments only from the U.S. and the EU is an example of an approach that overlooks potential opportunities elsewhere, such as the emerging markets. UHNWIs do not try to keep up with their neighbors or ...

Image
Being financially secure before you reach 30 may seem out of reach for many people in their 20s, but it's possible. Working toward financial security need not be an exercise in self-deprivation, though many people assume it to be. Attaining this goal even has some immediate benefits given that financial insecurity can be a serious source of stress. The following are 10 steps to consider to achieve financial security before you turn 30. KEY TAKEAWAYS Knowing how much you spend can keep spending in check.

Take calculated risks, such as moving to a city with more job opportunities or taking on a new job that pays less but has more upside potential. Invest in yourself by continually upgrading your skills and knowledge. Strike a balance—working toward financial security doesn’t mean you need to deprive yourself.  1...

9 Strategies to Build Wealth Fast

Image
  If you want to build wealth fast – like really fast – then investing in a vehicle such as a Roth IRA will not get you there. If you’re younger and your income limits allow, open up a Roth IRA. Invest in mutual funds and ETFs. Make sure you have enough cash in your emergency fund. Starting your financial life with those good habits will bleed over into your success in building wealth. Okay, so how do you build wealth fast? Let’s take a look. Drop Your Living Expenses Like Crazy I know, this isn’t very exciting, but this is the definition of wealth. As Todd Tresidder of FinancialMentor.com says, “Great wealth builders focus on both saving money and earning more.” What Todd is pointing to here is the gap between your expenses and your income. Expenses should always be lower than your income. The larger that gap, the more wealth you can accumulate. Let’s face it, you can’t invest unless you have money to invest. If you’re currently living beyond your means and have no additional mone...

How To Make $1,000+ Monthly: Everything You Need To Know

Image
  How can you earn more money? You’d think a question this simple would have a simple answer. Yet experts’ attempts to explain the nuances of earning — whether disguised as personal finance, business management, or the importance of education — could fill a file server. You could read all the articles, watch all the how-to videos, listen to all the podcasts, and even attend the right business school, but still not know the best ways to make money. Why is it all so complicated? I have an idea: It’s because only you are qualified to answer the question of how you can make more money. Think about it: Just like our relationships, our time, our food preferences, and even our financial choices are personal. What works for me may not work for you. Likewise, I might not survive a day doing something you’d excel at. And while education, knowledge, and experience matter a lot, they are only the ingredients. You have to get into the kitchen to cook up your own recipe for financial success and...

Image
  Selling ebooks is big business for many people. According to the Association of American Publishers, 2019 saw 335.7 million ebook sales in the United States alone. And according to Amazon, thousands of indie authors made $50,000 or more in 2019 — on Amazon alone. Ebook sales for 2020 have gone through the roof, mainly due to the pandemic.  As you can see, you can make money selling ebooks.  The ebook publishing process has been simplified as much as possible by aggregators and the retail giant Amazon, but it still takes some know-how.

And, in fact, it’s best to start your research before writing your book.  Luckily, guidance is just what I’m here for. I’ll take you through the whole journey, step by step. And for the purposes of this article, I’ll stick to publishing on Amazon, since it currently holds much of the ebook market. S...
