A Beginners Guide For Making Money Online

Imooching Is Easy Money

noreply@blogger.com (Ferris Bueller Vanderveer) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:24:00 +0000

Have you ever wondered to yourself about how you can make a quick buck (easy money) online? I know I have, in fact everybody has at one time or another.

Well now you can do just that!

If your broke for the day, week or even just a plain old cashless bum then this site may be just what you've been searching for.

The site is called Imooch, hinting at the name internet mooching, a.k.a bumming other people on the net for cash!

If you have the skill or technique that can move someone then you have what it takes to make a quick buck over at Imooch. Imooch is making the old school way of mooching into a new way to ask people for cash in the virtual information age.

Kinda reminds me of all those homeless people on the streets. Even though I do feel a bit of sadness for them, I have to admit the really get on my nerves. Only because every time I walk in a big city I'll eventually hear the words "Spare Any Change?". Without counting I've probably had that happen to me hundreds of times.

Anyway getting back to the topic of the moment, Imooch is the perfect place for you to have some fun asking other people for cash.

So what is a mooch and how does it work?

A mooch is basically a photo, story, video, mashup, song, recipe, singles ad or any type of original online content. The way it works is like this: You sign up for an account and create a mooch from one of the above categories and then you wait for other people who like your mooch to give you some cash. It's that fantastically simple. The only catch is, for you to get the cash flowing in you need to create something that will get the other users attention. So be creative and have fun in building your mooch.

Currently Imooch is giving away 5 dollars for you to create your imooch account, however the catch is you have to use those dollars and give them away to other imooch users. So, you better be crafty in finding an interesting way to get people to give you money. If you gave away all your mooch cash tipping other moochers and didn't get any in return I'd have to think that was a very bum deal :P

Through tipping other moochers you gain viewing exposure for your mooch, you also form a social networking between the moochers you've tipped. As well as getting the opportunity to message them.

Basically the more moochers there are using the imooch network the more opportunity exists to gain cold hard cash. So if you decide to start mooching you'd better tell your friends and family and get them involved too!

Oh yeah! You can even promote your mooch by embedding the imooch widget in your myspace profile, website or blog opening up the potential for an interesting way to donate.

You can see my imooch tip widget below, so go ahead and tip me if you enjoy my blog!

The File Shredder Permanently Deletes Files

noreply@blogger.com (Ferris Bueller Vanderveer) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:40:00 +0000

In todays world you never know who could be snooping over your shoulder while you're working on your laptop.

Or when you finally decide to upgrade and buy a new pc you carelessly get rid of your old one. Either of these circumstances can put you at risk for the improper use of your information.

You may not realize that even though you think you've deleted a file or program it's still someplace on your hard drive. When you delete a file or anything on your computer what happens is that, that section of hard drive space which was allocated for the specific file is just marked off as an area to be used for future data.

The file is still on your computer and you just simply cannot access it through normal computer means. But someone who has above average computer skills possesses the know how to access that data, which makes you vulnerable to all sorts of problems. There even exist programs on the market which allow the common user to recovery your files. (scary thought) So it's definitely important to make sure your information is secure by permanently removing the data from your computer.

I know that I don't want people snooping and accessing my long lost data, so thats why I use a program to rid myself of it. Outside the realm of the internet we use paper shredders to destroy information that would otherwise pose us an unnecessary risk. Thats why you'll need something that can do this for you in the virtual realm as well.

It's important to take data security seriously, I secure data from my hard drive by using a program called the file shredder. The file shredder permanently deletes files on my computer completely forever. Not to mention it's free.

The file shredder destroys unwanted files beyond any type of recovery. It's a very light weight, fast, simple, reliable and powerful program to shred your personal or company files. Surpassing many commercial file shredders already on the market. With this awesome program you will be able to clear files permanently with out the worry that somebody out there will take and use your information.

The file shredder will delete all your files by rewriting them with random series of binary data multiple times. This process erases the data completely keeping your information secure from those individuals wishing to exploit it.

This program allows you to choose between 5 different shredding algorithms each one stronger than the one before. As well as including an integrated disk wipe utility that uses the shredder to wipe unused disk space.

The softwares author believes that such a program should be freely available to everyone and that's why this program is completely free of charge. Using this program will save you money and it's perfect if you don't have any to spend.

However if your looking for a product that provides even more comprehensive protection then I suggest you go and check out the Archicrypt file shredder. It's extremely powerful for a shredding application. However, if you don't need the features that Archicrypt provides and prefer individual utilities for important activities then Blanco has some great quality commercial products. Blanco has a fantastic Data Cleaner for shredding whole hard drives which is a feature the file shredder doesn't do yet.

If your still not quite satisfied then check out this suit of applications that is by far the best package of security tools on the net from Cyberscrub. The application suite includes: Data Destruction, Evidence Cleaner and Password Manager.

Remember keep that data secure!

Being Successful In Life

noreply@blogger.com (Ferris Bueller Vanderveer) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 14:50:00 +0000

Success comes in many flavors all the time from everywhere and all directions. Just like every human being is unique so is the road to success. Success is something that comes through time. Not one person today, in the future or in the past has ever had instantaneous success, it just doesn't happen.

Are you successful? Can you honestly answer that question? Well if you can't or don't know, then I'm sorry to say that your definitely not a successful person.

However, you are the only person that can tell you if you are successful. Not your mother or your father, brother or sister, or even me. Only you can tell you if your are a success.

So what is success? Is it having a college degree and working for some company or is it owning a business? Is it being a father,mother, big sister or bother?

One persons success is another's failure and vice versa. You cannot put a label on what success is because everyone has their own view to what it means to be successful.

Many people in todays world measure success as their social status but your social status in society doesn't always represent your success. For example you could be the most famous person in the world and still be a failure.

What it all boils down to at the end of the day is whether or not you believe yourself to be or not to be a success. That is the only solid thing that matters.

As Everyone's success is varied and diverse from everyone else's I can't tell you how to be successful, however I can help put you on the right track with the tips below.

Linux Is The OS Of The Future

noreply@blogger.com (Ferris Bueller Vanderveer) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:17:00 +0000

Well I guess Bill Gates isn't going to let himself loose too much sleep over this especially since he's already retired from Microsoft and never has to work a day in his life ever again. I'll have to admit though he did have a good run with his windows os.

I'm going to predict that the demise of the windows os is coming and it's sometime within our near future.

What!? The demise of windows? That's never going to happen how can you even think of such a thing!

All I have to say in response to that is all those window users out there don't know what their missing when it comes to Linux.

So what is Linux?

A few years ago when I first heard about the Linux OS I hadn't the foggiest idea of what it was or even did. I actually didn't even care to learn anything about it. I was like, I've got windows why do I need a Linux OS? How totally naive I was to make such a statement to myself.

So for those of you out there who don't have a clue just like I use to, let me give you a little history lesson on the low down of Linux.

Linux is an operating system that was developed as a hobby by Linus Torvalds a student from the University of Helsinki in Finland. Linus had an interest in another Unixed based os called Minx and he believed that he could develop a system that exceeded Minx's standards.

So that's exactly what Linus did, he began working on his project in 1991 and continuously worked on his project until around 1994 when he released the Linux Kernel. The kernel is the heart and core of the os, it's released under the GNU (General Public License) which basically means that anyone is free to edit the code and redistribute it at will.

Literally hundreds of companies and individuals have developed their own versions from this Linux Kernel created by Linus.

The way that this Kernel has been designed allows for the ultimate in ease of functionality, adaptability and robustness. It is now the main alternative for proprietary Unix and Microsoft systems. Now into it's second decade the os platform Linux has gain worldwide popularity for server platforms.

As of now the home and desktop pc users of Linux are significantly on the rise. Which is what I want to mainly cover in this post.

The system can also be incorporated into microchips in an embedding process for a variety of different appliances and devices. Overall this OS is becoming more and more of a widespread tool for many types of uses. Linux has even very recently been accepted into the mainstream product line where Wal-Mart has started selling desktops pc with the OS.

Anyway, getting back to what I wanted to talk to everyone about =).

A few days ago my roommate wanted me to take a look at his computers that he had stashed away to see if I could figure out why they weren't working. I took a look at one of them, did a little bit of troubleshooting and viola I had it up and working within a few minutes.

Though my roommate and I then discovered that he didn't have access to the main windows user account which would allow him to install programs etc... We thought about reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling the windows os but both of us had lost our copied versions of the software.

So I was thinking to myself what my options where and made a decision to browse the web to see what it could offer me in terms of solutions. I started searching the web for an answer to my problem and thats when I came across the coolest OS system ever.... LINUX ....

However, at that current moment in time little did I realize how cool this operating system was until I took a bit of a closer look. Then I said to myself why in the world am I still using Windows!?!?! But I knew why, and the reason was Microsoft.

So without further ado allow me to open your eyes into a whole new world.

Linux's Super Cool Features:

First and the most significantly important aspect of Linux is that it's FREE and supported by the open source community.
Has a GUI (Graphical User Interface)
It's light weight and extremely powerful.
Runs smoothly and efficiently.
Runs on a wide variety of hardware platforms, from huge mainframes to desktop PCs and cell phones.
Runs as a live CD or DVD
Boots From USBs
Dual Booting (Boot from either linux or windows)
Has a variety of Linux "flavors" called distributions.
Linux has less than 1500 known viruses (Windows has over 80,000)
Free Open Source software packages. Including an online repository that Linux connects to when you're looking to install new programs. ( Which is so way cool) Windows doesn't even have this feature.
And a whole ton more.....

But I think that this feature here is one of the most profound misconceptions that windows users have, they don't realize that they don't need to know a required knowledge of textual commands. I am quite sure in fact that most window users are oblivious to this very fact and seem to believe that Linux is strictly a command line os. (Because I believed that too at one time) Which is just simply untrue, there are some versions out there like this but most distributions today have a GUI and a command line terminal.

One of the nifty features about Linux being free is that you can download it from the internet straight to your desktop as an ISO image.(International Organization for Standardization Format) Then burn it onto a CD or DVD for installation at no cost to you. You can install Linux on USB memory sticks too.

The open source community is continually improving upon the Linux OS and in due time will be far superior to windows if it isn't already right now. I've included a distribution link above to a list of different Linux OS that you can go check out. I highly suggest that you take a look and I'm sure you won't be disappointed, you'll be able to find a Linux os that suits your needs or unique style.

Currently the most popular Linux Flavor is Ubuntu it's simple, fast and very easy to install. It's the version I downloaded and installed on my roommates two computers. One for his desktop and the other for his laptop, so far they both run without any problems.

Linux is just too cool for it's own good and it's a operating system that you shouldn't just ignore. It may have a slightly higher learning curve but when your finished you'll be glad you have Linux. In my opinion it's one of the best os out there besides Apple's OS.

When you use Linux you'll get the bragging rights that come with it and all your friends and acquaintances will think your a super genius.

Linux is a fantastic beautifully crafted operating system that you can use for you desktop as an alternate choice to windows, I highly recommend it and I believe that once you start using it you won't ever want to go back.

It's great because it's totally free, you can install it on as many machines as you want, give it to your friends or whatever. The potential possibilities the os opens up are endless and by using Linux you will help making a difference for a better world. An open source world one filled with free software.

Using Linux is a no cost solution that will save you and your business money and you'll thank me for showing you the door to this new world.

Use Linux and you'll be helping to free our world.

Freedom never sounded so good. Thank you Linus Torvalds for giving us this gift.

Oh yeah and I almost :P If your worried about not being able to play games, Linux has that covered too =)

Goal Setting Is The First Step To Success

noreply@blogger.com (Ferris Bueller Vanderveer) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:36:00 +0000

So your interested in making an online income, right? Well who isn't!? If that's why your here then you're at the right place! I'm here to help you achieve your dreams to be successful, I'm your M.M.O.N.B.G. (which stands for: Make Money Online - Newbie Beginners Guide)

So lets get started...

Your very first step in the process of making your vision into a reality is to sit down and start thinking(visualizing) of where you want to be in the future. You'll want to think of some daily(immediate), short(1-5 years) and long term(5-20+ years) goals. When you do sit down remember that these goals your thinking of now are not something to be taken lightly, they should be thoughtful and purposeful.

Why? Because these goals are your foundation and they are going to propel you into your future allowing you to achieve your dreams. You can't afford to not to.

When you meditate on these goals make sure to get out a sheet of college ruled notebook paper or open your word document on your computer. Writing down your goals helps to affirm in your mind the reality and importance of acting on them. After you write down all your goals say them out loud, words are powerful and speaking them gives them intention.

At the top of the first sheet of blank paper, neatly write in big large letters "Daily Goals" Then write out all the things that you need to do that day. Be sure to write them down ( your thing to do list) on a sheet of paper or something of the equivalent every day. Make sure that your list is doable and then do them. Again, write them down every day and when you complete these daily tasks cross them out.

If however you fail to do a few tasks for that day just move them over to the next day and do them the very first thing.

To give yourself an incentive, write at the bottom of the sheet of paper in big large letters "My Reward". Then under that title write something that you would like to reward yourself with for completing your thing to do list. Your reward shouldn't be that extravagant, just something simple such as watching a favorite movie or television show. Remember, you can only get your reward once you have completed and crossed out all your activities for that day. Don't cheat yourself because you will just be waisting your own time.

Now repeat the process again with your short term and long term goals. Writing at the top of each sheet of paper "Short Term Goals" & "Long Term Goals" and at the bottom "My Reward". With your short term goals your reward should be a little bigger and with your long term goal you can go all out.

The new addition to writing out these goals will be adding the steps that will allow you to complete them. Goals are like a recipe and you have to have pieces of smaller steps put together that later develop into your goal.

So when writing out your short term and longer term goals include the smaller steps that will lead up to the completion of the whole goal.

Example: Short Term Goal: Buy a 3 bedroom house in Florida with a nice lawn and friendly neighbors within the next 5 years.

Steps:
#1Get that computer technician job to purchase home
a.) Finish my bachelor degree that will allow me to get the computer job
b.) Write up my resume and send out for interviews for computer job
#2 Save a % of my paycheck every month to put down on the house in 1 year.
#3 Check out neighbor hoods for friendly people near the downtown area of Miami, Fl

#4 Research different prices on 3 bedroom homes. Etc....

When you are writing out your goals on the sheets of paper make sure they're smart goals as in S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely.) This will help you to evaluate them and set you up for goal success.

Specific: Don't be vague, being vague defeats the whole purpose of setting goals. When you write out a goal be specific.

(For example don't say: Goal #1:I want to Make Money Online. Do say: Make Money Online by providing quality informational products based on my experience that the user would find useful.)

If your not specific with your goals your not allowing yourself the opportunity to successfully succeed. I can't stress enough how important it is to be specific, being vague is like targeting just the forest instead of defining and aiming for the tree with heart shaped multi colored leaves.

Setting yourself up for specific goals requires that you follow these six steps.

Who: Who is involved?
What: What do I want to accomplish?
Where: Identify a location.
When: Establish a time frame.
Which: Identify requirements and constraints.
Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.

Additional Note: While writing up your goals don't worry if it's messy you can always rewrite them.

Measurable: You'll also need to establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, stay on track, be sure to reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal.

To determine if you can measure your goal, ask yourself these questions:

How much?
How many?
How will I know when it is accomplished?

Attainable: When your sitting down to identify goals of great importance to you, you will start to see ways in which you can bring them to life. You'll develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to obtain them. You will start seeing opportunities that you had previously overlooked that will help bring you closer to success.

You'll eventually be able to carry out any goal that you set when you carefully plan out steps within a specific time frame. Goals that have before seemed far out of reach are now becoming closer to you all because you've grown in your experience and expanded to match them.

When you construct your list of goals your building your self image, you'll start to see yourself worthy of them and develop the personality traits that allow you to posses them.

Realistic: Being realistic entails that you set goals that your willing to work towards. You can still have high obtainable goals because you're the only one who knows just how high your goal can be. Higher goals are usually reached more frequently than lower goals as lower goals don't exert a great motivational force. When your excited about attaining a goal it's usually because your challenging yourself in some way.

Your goal is usually realistic if you believe that you can accomplish it.

Another way of telling if your goal is achievable is if you have successfully realized a similar goal in the past. Or by asking yourself what conditions would need to exist for you to bring forth the realization of your goal.

Timely: You will need to set a time frame in order to successfully complete your goals. If you don't have a sense of urgency then your more than likely to continue putting it off.

When you anchor your goal with a specific time frame you're telling yourself subconsciously to start working on this particular goal.

Remember this: someday never comes.. Ever, Period.... Don't fool yourself into thinking it will. It's just an exuse.

If your serious about making money online then you'll need to be sincere on setting goals and putting steps into action that will move you toward accomplishing them. If you've read my first post then you should have already begun to set your first goal and if your just joining us here at mmonbg then go ahead and set a first starter goal for yourself.

I'm sure that you have many things that you would like to do in the future. However, unless you set aside a goal plan (goals and steps on achieving those goals) on getting to your pot o gold then you are more than likely going to fail in reaching the finish line. But don't let the fear of failing to achieve your dreams hold you back from setting goals and taking action. Everyone in their life fails at some time or another.

In fact we've all failed and we will continue to fail during our lifetimes but that doesn't stop us does it? No it doesn't and if it does stop you then you're probably a very miserable person.

Now trust me when I say this: you are going to fail! and you may even fail many times before you succeed. You have to crawl before you can walk and you have to walk before you can run. Take for example a baby that's just learning how to walk and watch how they get right back up on their feet again no matter if they fall hundreds of times before they get to take those very first baby steps. Before that baby was ever able to start walking it had to fail many many times. Through falling it was able to achieve its goal of walking like it's parents. (Ouch my bum hurts! But I can walk now!!!)

After a person goes through their trial period of failing (a.k.a. testing) and as long as they continue to pursue their goals they will eventually find success and boy does that success feel terrific!!!

Success is like a snowball rolling down a hill, once you start it its almost nearly always very difficult to stop it.

When we fail at something that failure will eventually allow us to do what we want. We fail because we are not ready quite ready. Failing gives us the experience that we need to do what we dream. On the other hand if you fail simply because you choose not to set goals or act on them then achieving your dreams is going to be very hard. Plain and simple.

Goal setting is easy, implementing the steps to achieve your goals is easy. Though the most difficult part of all is that people don't following through with their goal plan. Why do people fail to follow through? Because they make excuses and their afraid of failure.

Don't be a person who makes excuses or is afraid to fail, you can't succeed if you don't go through the trials of fire.

Be and think positively, set yourself some goals and you'll be on your way to success!

My Very First Money Making Post

noreply@blogger.com (Ferris Bueller Vanderveer) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 18:32:00 +0000

Greetings! Welcome to my beginners guide to making money online. This guide is mainly for those who are just starting out on the web (a.k.a. newbies) and who don't have a clue how to do anything :P. However, I'm still quite sure that there will be plenty of topics discussed here that will be useful for all types of users.

Here you'll find all types of goodies, freebies and quality information that will help you to make money, become successful on the world wide web and within your daily life.

As this is my very first post I'd like to mention that I've spent nothing in the creation of this blog except for the fact of spending just a little bit of my time =) . Is it possible to make money from nothing? Stick around and find out!

At this current moment my earnings from this blog are $0.00 so if you decide to follow along we'll both begin to see how much money I can accumulate from this blog. As time goes by I will periodically post updates of the earnings I've gained.

I would also like to mention that I will be giving away 10% of the blogs future earnings to my readers and 10% to charities around the world for different causes, just as a start. Depending on how much income this blog pulls in I'll increase the percentage of those earnings based on the increases in income that are received from the blog.

At the end of every month I'll write a post letting everyone know what my earnings are. Even it it's just one measly cent! But don't you fret because I'm sure this blog will be making more than that!

There is definitely going to be lots of fun to be had on this blog! So stick around! Get all rev'd up and excited because we are going to take this dead broke blog into a 6 figure money making machine!

Oh yeah and before I close this post I want to leave everyone of my readers with my first positive blog tip for successful internet wealth accumulation and that tip is to: "SET GOALS"!

So what's my first obtainable goal for this blog?

My first goal for this blog is to make $100.00 per month starting by the end Jan 2009! That gives me approximately 6 months of time before I need to be at that level.

This is a very important first step for without goals you cannot achieve much in life if not anything at all.

So my first task for all my readers out there is to set one goal for yourself that you CAN obtain. Don't make the goal out of reach or unrealistic. Make it a goal that you know you can achieve by a step by step processes and by taking action to bring your goal into reality.

With that I'll let you go, now go read some of those other million or so fantastic blogs that are out there in hyper space. But don't forget to come back ya hear?

Till next time....
