Groupon posts a new deal each morning, and if enough people show an interest in that deal it goes “live” and starts selling quickly. The reason they test the interest level is to insure that the product or service provider will get enough new business to justify the discount provided. Very smart, and a win / win for all involved. If I was a business owner looking to boost my sales I would sign up with Groupon right away.

Here are just a few of the past deals they put up for my city (Denver):

• 1/2 price lube, oil, and filter change for your car.
• $20 for a microdermabrasion facial that usually costs $60.
• $49 for a 90-minute massage that usually costs $110.
• $5 for $10 worth of ice cream.
• $49 for two mani-pedis that usually cost $110.
• $15 for $35 worth of pizza.
• $29 for a one-hour psychic reading that usually costs $125.
• $49 for a month of unlimited yoga classes that usually cost $149.
• $25 for $50 worth of Mexican dinners.
• $25 for an intro to wine class that usually costs $50.

As you can see, there is something for everyone, and most of the deals are well worth buying. Just from the list above, you could have saved yourself over $350!

Your biggest problem will be self control — not signing up for every single deal will take some discipline as this happy customer relates:

Groupon – The Best Deal of the Day for YOUR City

I love playing online poker for lots of reasons:  I can play on my laptop from anywhere in or around my house, I never have to wait for a table longer than 3 minutes, I don’t have to get dressed up and go to a casino, I can jump in and out of games whenever I feel like it, and there are no arguments about which hand beats what or who played out of turn.

Even with all of these advantages, the one thing I don’t like about online poker sites is the waiting between hands. I’m a naturally impatient person, and HATE to wait. Of course playing online is better than live action because the dealer is much faster, but you still get stuck with morons at the table who take forever to make a decision. I always seem to get stuck with that guy who waits until just before the timer runs out to either raise, call, or fold — and he does it every single time!

Full Tilt Poker has just come out with an awesome solution to the “waiting game” of poker. They call it “Rush Poker”, and it works like this.

1. Instead of being seated at a specific table, you are put into a “pool” of up to 2,000 players.
2. As soon as you fold a hand you are “rushed” to a new table and dealt a brand new hand.
3. You play out your hand any way you want, but as soon as you fold or decide you want to fold when it comes around to your turn, you get rushed away to a new hand.

Do you see how cool this is?

You’ll never have to sit and wait for that “slow guy” unless you actually want to be in the hand — most of the time, you just click the “fold” button and get rushed right into a new hand.

I’ve found that instead of playing about 75 hands per hour, I can now play almost 300 hands per hour! That’s FOUR TIMES AS MANY HANDS as before! Do you have any idea how awesome that is?

Another awesome aspect of Rush Poker is that you can no longer be “nailed down” by the other players at the table. If you play with the same people for a long time they start to figure out your style of play — you only call with the nuts, you bluff a lot on the river, you raise on the blind with junk, etc. With Rush Poker, no one can figure you out because you never play with the same group of people for very long — every time you get rushed to a new table all of the other players are new as well…this makes for some very interesting strategy opportunities which I’ll be discussing in another blog post.

For now, just get over to Full Tilt Poker and sign up for an account — look in the Basic View and Standard Views of the poker lobby for the “Rush Poker” tables. Once you’ve tried this new form of poker you’ll never go back to the old slow way again.

Why?

Cheap paint is inferior in every way to premium mixtures — you will need multiple coats to get the same coverage, the durability is not as good, and you will need to re-paint more often.

According to some tests I’ve seen, Kilz Casual Colors paints from Walmart is an excellent choice when it comes to painting interior rooms. Kilz is scrubbable, stain-resistant, and very durable with just one coat. The last time I bought some it was about $25 a gallon — a bargain price for a premium brand of paint.

The washer stinks!

For the first year or so everything was fine, but then I started to notice a heavy, musty, mildew-type of smell inside of the washer after not using it for a while. I also noticed the smell in our clean towels after drying off with them.

What is going on?

I did a search online and found that this is a very common problem with front-loading washing machines and also found a bunch of ways to help fix the problem. I’ve tried just about everything listed here, and the smell is almost gone now. Go through this list and see if any of these suggestions will help you:

1. Always leave the front door open when not using the machine — this allows air to circulate and helps slow the formation of mildew.
2. If you have an exhaust fan in your laundry room (like you do in your bathroom) make sure you run it when doing laundry. This helps keep the humidity levels down and fights mildew.
3. After all wash loads are done, make sure you dry off the rubber gasket located inside the door. Just use an old towel and dry off all the rubber surfaces you see.
4. Once or twice a month, run an empty cycle with the hottest water setting you have and some liquid bleach to clean your machine. Many machines have a self-clean setting just for this purpose.
5. READ your owner’s manual. Most people never look at the manual, and they miss out on some important information from the manufacturer. For instance, most manuals will tell you to follow the steps listed here!
6. If all else fails, you can try some of the cleaning products for front-end washers. I’ve heard good and bad stories about most of them, but the one that seems to have the most success in getting rid of the musty smell is Smelly Washer Cleaner.

Some people become so frustrated with the front-loading washer smell that they give up and go back to the old-style top loading machines. Just follow your basic maintenance tips and you won’t have to give up your cool new washer!

1. How To Make Extra Money By Blogging

When was the last time you contacted all of your previous customers to let them know about an upcoming promotion or special event?

If you answered “never” or “I don’t know how to do that” or “I don’t have a customer list” then you are at a massive disadvantage to your competitors. You MUST keep a current customer list that contains at least their name and email address — if you have and address and phone number as well then you get a gold star.

The easiest way to keep a customer list is to ask for a first name and email address with every transaction. Tell them you will notify them of upcoming specials and discounts and they will be more than happy to sign up. Use an autoresponder service (I recommend this one) to keep your list safe and to send out your emails to your customers.

Now that you have your customer list, you can use it to print money on demand.

Imagine this — you’re having a slow week and need to bring in some business before the end of the month…just sign in to your autoresponder service, write a short promotional email that gives a 20% discount to everyone that buys something from you on a certain day, click “send”, sit back and watch the customers pour in and the sales ring up. With a customer list you can make this happen over and over again whenever you want.

Do you see the power in this simple system?

Here’s what you need to do to get started:

1. Sign up for an autoresponder account and set it up as a customer list.
2. Collect the first name and email address of every paying customer and add them to your list.
3. Send out promotional emails.
4. Bank you extra profits.
5. Repeat as often as possible.

If you need help getting everything set up, contact me via the contact form on this site — I have a side business that will walk you through every step and get you set up on autopilot for only $5K.

Did you know that you can make money just by taking surveys?

Companies all around the world are desperate to get your opinion regarding new products, services, and business ideas. They’ll pay you to figure out exactly why you bought a certain brand of jeans or use a certain hair product every morning — this information is worth millions of dollars to them, so they’re willing to pay out a nice sum to certain target consumers.

You can try to track down these survey companies yourself, or you can go to a service that does all of that hard work for you and collects all available surveys in on central location. If you are flat broke and have no money at all, I suggest you try to track down these surveys yourself — don’t pay a fee to a service if you can’t afford it! On the other hand, if you want to save a huge amount of time and headaches and have a little bit of money to play with then I suggest you try a professional survey service that will get you paid for your opinions.

I’ve tried several of the survey gathering services, and this is the one I suggest you try. Have fun!

The secret to great wealth is to apply some sort of leverage to your earning power, either through creating something one time and selling it over and over like authors and musicians do, or through some type of arbitrage. Arbitrage is defined as an activity where the same “thing” is bought and sold simultaneously in two different markets in order to cash in on the divergence between the two markets.

The “thing” in the definition above can be a financial security, a physical product, a digital product, or even just internet traffic. You make a small profit on each transaction, all adding up to a massive profit. Take a look at this example of arbitrage — it will reshape the way you think about earning a living…
