It’s Not Called The Information “Super”Highway For No Reason
That’s because there is a lot of traffic to be had out there. Some estimates put the estimate that there are 250 million people out there every day. That’s MILLION. Many people use it to find information about different topics. Twenty-five years ago, you would have to go to the library, use the card catalog, search up and down shelve, and, if you were lucky, find the answer to a pressing question. Thank God times have changed. Usually the answer (with the help of an Internet-connected computer) can be found in a matter of seconds. People will often be willing to pay for the information, especially if looking for a song, a book, an image.
That’s where you would come in. Often people use Google to find what they need, but sometimes will just use the phrase with a www. in front and a .com at the end. For example, if you were looking for sneakers, you could go to Google and put it into the search box, or you might open a browser and type in www.sneakers.com. You will find results both ways. The key to having high traffic (and high $) is to have a good name. You can find availability of names at GoDaddy and it might even produce a few tips for names. Premium names may cost more, but there are plenty of names available for around $10 a year.
Here are some ideas for creating traffic to your website (once a great name has been chosen and a hosting company selected)
- Create a blog – there are some great free tools available at WordPress. Blogging and posting on a regular basis helps also to have you ranked higher in the Google search engine. Because so many use Google, it is important to be ranked high.
- PPC, or pay-per-click - many of the search engines have the service available to advertise (you have seen them, the “ads by Google” or sponsored ads). It works like this: You have an advertisement and you only pay when that ad is clicked. The key is to create traffic.
- Let others know about it – This could be as easy as mentioning to your friends that you have a website. Viral marketing is an exciting way to advertise and create traffic for very little investment.
- Read – there is a plethora of examples to be found on the Web, it just takes some investment of time. The great thing is that you can do it on your time, you don’t have to go when the library is open.
The library now is always open! More traffic ideas to come in a few days!
Welcome!!
Welcome to the new front page of money-for-my-life.com. My blog is full of money saving ideas that you can save money to help pay down your credit card debt and eliminate that by incorporating several savings ideas that most people will find useful. Of course, half of the equation is to make more money.
This can be done in several ways: you can find a better job, you can learn new skills, you can begin doing Internet Marketing. Finding a new job may be a challenge at this point in the game, especially given the somewhat bleak forecast by “experts” in the economy. You are never too old to learn new skills or a new degree. I am not one to belittle our education system, especially since I spent eight of my years as a teacher and 18 years in the classroom. I have a degree, but some of the things that will make you the most money the fastest will be things that don’t require an advanced degree. One of the best ways that I have found to make money quickly can be found here. You can also do the research that I have done to find sources (they are out there, believe me) that can help you with everything that you will need to be successful.
The key, as always, is to do something. Action is always better than inaction!
Credit Card Debt Elimination, Part III
Even though I am confident that any person can learn to deal with the credit card debt that they have, sometimes you need a little help. A year ago when I sat down and actually figured out the amount of money I owed and my minimum payments at that current rate, I was shocked when I saw that the figure was over $72,000. You would think that I would have a fancy car to show for that, or some great clothes, or pictures of some fantastic world-wide trips that I took…no, I still drove a used car with over 90,000 miles on it (and I still do drive that same car), my clothes were, at best, clothes that came from a mid-tier department store. What I did have, was debt. I was overwhelmed, as I am sure many people are. The worse that my credit score got, the more depressed I became. Sure, I started to receive the tons of email about “We Can Eliminate Your Debt, Legally” and “Need Credit Card Debt Help? We Are There“. Like an drowning man grasping for things to help him stay afloat in an instant, I poured through those e-mails hoping to find the instant cure for my problems.
Something to Look Out For
I finally settled on a company I felt that I could trust. Their website was seemingly legitimate, so I began to do a little more in-depth investigation. First I looked at their accreditations. Check. Then I looked at the Better Business Bureau website for any complaints against this company. Check. I “Googled” their name. Check. Everything seemed in order. I contacted them. I used them for about four months, but the more that I read in books, the more I became uneasy. First, they told me not to answer my phones or to talk to the credit card companies at all. They were going to handle it. I was to continue to make one monthly payment to them and they would set up a separate account through a third party from which the payments would be sent. They would take half of their fee out of the first four months payments ($2,800) and then they would put half of my payment into the third party account and when there was enough in there, they would negotiate with the credit card company. That was all good and well, but I didn’t really appreciate the fact that after six months, I had paid $4,200, but my credit card debt reduction was not happening. By this time, I realized that they were going to be doing for me what I was perfectly capable of myself. Needless to say, that was an expensive lesson using money that I didn’t really have in the first place. This will be continued. To learn more, click here or here.
