How to start a money making Circle

Making money online is hard as any other money making method and you need to find your own hacks tricks and tweaks to do it. This is something that I have come cross while experimenting how to make money online. I am sure beginners who are struggling to find extra money to spend on your website will find this interesting.

Without Spending money you cannot make money. Just because you start a free blog you will not start making money. You need to invest time and money in order to achieve your goals. I was trying hard not to spend money on blogs. However I want to make money out of it. I am sure you might want it to happen. Unfortunately the truth is that, it is not easy. Then my question was how I can spend money without earning money. When I start this blog I did not want to even buy the domain name. So, I purely started it on free blogging platform. Without even noticing it reached to level that it is hard to transfer it to a proper domain name. It is important to get the domain name for any online project you start before it is too late. 

I use a simple method to recover or earn money for the domain names. I will buy couple of domain names including the one I want for my new project. Most of the domain providers will give discount when you buy domains bulk. Then I will park some of the domains that I do not want to develop soon. If it is a good enough domain name I can recover the total cost within three to four months. If I get something extra I can apply it to buy more domain names. Bottom line is you do not have to skip couple of coffee or dinner outs to buy a domain name.

Domain Parking Tips

• Domain names related to money, investment, gold, credit cards will give more payouts per click.
• Used and developed and dropped domains will get traffic without much effort.
• Remember most of the domain parking companies will not allow you to drive traffic to the parked domain. BE CAREFUL!
• Dictionary word domains will add more value to domain name.

There are lot of ways and tool to find a better domain name. Personally I love using Sedo for domain parking for following reasons. 

• You get Euros for clicks and when you convert it to dollars you always get more. If you buy your domains using dollars or any other currency less than Euros you will have an advantage.
• 20 EURO minimum payouts can be reached easily.
• Technically Sedo provide an easy to use but advance platform to park your domains and make money out of each click you get.


I even tried another Sedo service to promote a parked domain name, however that did not turn out to be profitable. That dose not mean it will not work out for you or even for me for a different domain name. 

This is a simple way of spend money and make money out of it. It is important to invest the money you earn to take it to the next level. Gradually improve your online income similar to a normal business. You can apply to any other situation where you would like to improve.

Why you should Invest Time & Money in your blog to get benefits?

In this post I want to talk about importance of INVESTMENT of time and/or money in your Business which could be ecommerce website or a Blog.

There are TWO ways to increase the money that you have (in other words to increase your wealth)

1. By Adding

2. By Multiplying

Consider case 1:

John earns $500 per week. He spends $400 each week and puts away $100 into his money-box. This way John is increasing his money by $100 per week

In approximately 100 weeks he would have increased his wealth by $10,000

i.e $10,000 / $100 per week = 100 weeks (approximately 2 years)

Consider case 2:

James earns $500 per week just like John. He spends $400 each week just like John. However he invest $100 per week with an approximate 10% return per week. This could be an investment in his own Website to increase site look & feel or SEO optimization or marketing or promotion or one of thousands of other techniques.

How long will it take James to make his $10,000?

About 6 months his savings will increase by about $11,000 and after 100 week he will have $13 MILLION!

Thus if you thinking of making it big think of a way to multiply your wealth instead of adding to your wealth

Best time to apply for a credit card

I was a student and I was not financially stable. I applied for a credit card as I needed some extra money but it got rejected. Because I did couple of mistakes and learnt the lesson. This might be helpful for you to know what is the best time to apply for a credit card.


Always apply for the credit card when you are financially strong. All the credit card providers check your financial status before they approve your application. If you have assets ( Motor Vehicles, House, Furniture ) or good bank balance that will indicate a strong financial status. Also, It is always good to show a good income. In such situation it is easy get your credit card application approved plus you will get a good credit balance.

Most of the time we will look in to loans and credit cards when we are having financial problems. Then it is too late for these options and normally banks or credit card companies are not happy to take that sort of risk.

There will be ups and downs with your financial conditions and alway try to get it stronger when it is strong and not when you are weak.

Affiliate Programs Vs Pay Per Click (PPC)

Affiliate Programs and Pay Per Click (PPC) adverticing programs are popular among people who make or trying to make a income from their website or blogs. Lets have a quick look on these two methods how these method can help you make money.

Affiliate Marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. It is an application of crowdsourcing. (Wikipedia).

In another words you will sell someone else product and you will get a commition for number of sells or referals you 've done. To make money using Affiliate Programs you need to build the trust among your readers. Thousands of traffic to your page will not enough. Your readers should believe what you are saying. Need to build the trust

Pay per click (PPC) is an Internet advertising model used on search engines, advertising networks, and content sites, such as blogs, in which advertisers pay their host only when their ad is clicked. With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market. Content sites commonly charge a fixed price per click rather than use a bidding system. (Wikipedia)

This is quite easy method comparing to Affiliate or any other online money making hacks. Pay per click Advertising allows you to make money from the visitors who bounce away from your blog. More traffic you bring to the page will directly increase the income.

[SM] How gift cards help you saving money

We have been talking about couple of simple approaches to save money from day to day spending without adding extra stress. They are

• Simple Budget
• Achievable Short and long Term Goals for Saving Money
• control your bank and credit cards

Today we will go through one small hack that you can apply to save lots of money by controlling bank and credit cards and sticking to the budget.

You can find gifts cards in any large retail shop. Even now you can find Visa gift cards similar to Credit cards where you can use any where that accept credit cards.

Normally you will shop in the same retail shop in your area. So when you go through your previous months expenses you can get a rough idea about how much you have spent on each shop. Then check whether these shops have any gift cards available. Only tick is to buys gift card worth of average amount you have spend on that shop for a month. Weekly will add extra pressure on handling gift cards and you will end up with more cards with extra credit on it.

How can a gift card comes in handy? You will stop using the bank or credit card more often in your day today purchases. You know exactly how much you can spend on each month or how much you have for the rest of the month. Main advantage is that if you had to spend over your budget you know exactly how much you had spend. In any case you had to spend extra on that month do not worry about it. Important part is to know that you have spend over the budget on that month. If it is for some thing unavoidable you have no choice but if it is because of some miscalculation you know exactly what happened.

Also you can use your favorite credit card that gives you more points or rewards as well but with extra control.

Apply Gift Cards for the possible regular purchases and leave some extra chase for the purchases that may not support the gift cards. Otherwise you will have to spend extra or go out of the budget to support such purchases.

Things you should consider before buying a gift card.

• Valid period - gift card should have at least couple of months valid period.
• Valid shops - gift card should be valid on your regular retail shop or shops.
• Extra Cost - gift cards should not add any extra cost.

It is a simple hack that can give you full control over your monthly budget and bank and credit cards.

[SM] Is your bank & credit cards eat your money

Bank card and the credit cards are more convenient. You do not have to carry bundles of money to the shops or when you travel. In a way it provide security to your money while it opens up security issue. How these money cards can effect your savings?

I would call it a magic card. Swipe the card and enter the secret code or signature and if they match you can get the products or services that you want. Yes this magic only works base on how much power you have on your card.

How these bank and credit cards can eat your money? First of all you have no idea about the account balance or how much credit you have on your card. When ever you want something you will just swipe your card and get it. Until there are not enough credit on your card. Unless you check the balance daily which most of us do not do only time you will notice the balance is when you get the monthly statement. You do not have control over what you spend.

If you use notes and currency you have a clear idea about what you have and how much you are spending. You will think twice before you spend.

So do we have to go one step back and try to use notes and coins again. I do not think so. It is not that convenient. I know you do not want to miss the bonus point that credit cards gives you. Do you?

We have experimented couple of simple steps to effectively use bank card and credit cards effectively and wisely.

• Check credit card balance and Bank account balance daily note it down on a sticky note.
• Use a different bank account (dose not have a bank card but only have Internet banking access) for savings and transfer the amount you are planing to save.
• Use different accounts for different purposes. (Additional cards should not cost you extra)
• Choose credit cards that has less charges and more bonus points.
• Keep a card that does not have much credit on it. (Specially Friday and Saturday nights)

This is couple of simple things you can follow to save little bit extra money by stooping extra spending you do without a good reason. We will continue discussing these money saving hacks and tricks in more details ....

Tips to create a simple budget

• Always give a higher value than the actual value to the expenses. For example if you averagely spend $250 for food make it $270 in your Budget. Always average value will not work.
  
• Always give a less value for the income. This is just to be Safe and leave a margin for any extra expenses or unexpected expenses.
  
• More the information you have about your spending better you can setup your budget. You can always record your spending in a Excel under different categories. If you use (normally you do) bank card or credit card you can go through couple of statements to get more information about your spending patterns.
• You will have only hand full of income types. If you have more just take the main income methods. So you will always have the extra money to fund your needs.
• Always start with main categories - Spending can be categories to Savings Food and house hold items, Entertainment, Bills, rent or mortgage and etc..
  when you are familiar with your budget you can always break it into sub categories which will give you more control.
• Base on your last couple month expenses you can allocate funds to each budget. Specify when you allocate them or from which income you will allocate it (if you have two or more incomes)
  
  For example - If you get weekly income you can allocate for food in first week. Second third and fourth weeks you will allocate funds to savings, entertainment and rent. etc.
  
  If you get a monthly income you do not have much options. You have to settle all your budget in the pay day.
• Don't be scared to change your budget as you go. It always needed to be tweaked base on your experience and problems you might face when following your budget.
