LET'S TALK BUSINESS
Learning How to Make Money
Blogging
There are two major
types of business models that entrepreneurs use to make money
blogging. The first and most common way to turn a blog into a profit
making machine is to sell advertising to different companies and
brands who want to reach that blog's readers. The second kind of
money making blog is one that helps a single brand improve its image
by creating positive associations between the blog and the product
in the mind of consumers. Both kinds of blogs can make a lot of
money, especially if the creator has a keen mind for marketing.
If you are blogging with the goal of selling advertising, there are
two basic ways that you can go about recruiting sponsors who want to
put ads on your site; you can let someone else do all of the
legwork, or you can do the work yourself and keep all of the
revenue. Within the first group, many people make money blogging by
selling space through Google's AdSense program. The advantages of
this program are numerous, as it requires very little effort on the
part of the blogger or webmaster to begin raking in profits.
However, most people discover that they make less money through this
method than they had hoped that their blog would earn.
Selling advertising directly to companies who want to put banner ads
or sponsored links on your blog can take quite a bit of time, but it
is often fairly lucrative. If you have a lot of contacts in
industries that are related to the topic of your blog, you may want
to try to go this route. People who have a strong background in
sales and are experienced at pitching proposals can make quite a bit
of money by renting blog space to interested companies. The most
serious problem with this model is that you often have to build
quite a sizable readership before you can attract advertisers, which
can mean that you have to do several months of work before you start
to make money blogging.
As blogging becomes a more and more lucrative business, a lot of
established companies are considering how they can get into the
action. One way that companies are capitalizing on the blog movement
is by having blogs that provide a kind of friendly face for their
corporation. Often, a company will employ an established blogger to
create a weblog designed specifically to appeal to that company's
customers and to create positive associations with the brand in
consumers' minds. More than one writer who never even dreamed that
he or she could make money blogging has been approached by a company
and offered quite a pretty penny for this kind of gig.

HOUSEHOLD BUDGETING
How to Save Money and Avoid Temptations
Saving money and financial management is very crucial in one's life.
Money is very important in order to survive in this world but only a
few people know how to manage their household budget properly. Many
people have a hard time saving money even if it is for their own
good.
Most of the time, you may be motivated to save money but there are
times when temptations come your way and before you know it, you
have already spent the amount that was supposed to be added to your
savings account. Here are some helpful tips on how you can avoid
temptations and be able to save money:
1. Try hard to avoid those things that keep you from saving. If you
are fond of buying shoes even if you don't really need them, try
very hard to stay away from them. Keep yourself away from shoe
stores so that you will not be tempted to buy one.
2. When going to grocery stores. Always bring the exact amount and
bring with you a grocery list. If you have limited money in your
pocket when in grocery stores, you will be forced to buy only those
important things that you need. Preparing a grocery list will also
help you get organized and will help you in deciding the things that
need to be prioritized.
3. Go to the malls only when needed. Do not go shopping if you do
not need anything important to buy. Window-shopping will only tempt
you to buy the dress you saw in the boutique even if you don't
really need it.
4. Do not bring with you your credit cards all the time. Having a
credit card in your pocket will only tempt you to buy things that
are not necessary. This will also help you lower your balances and
have a good credit score.
5. You may want to save money in the bank or invest in time
deposits. You will not be tempted to get money from the bank every
time you need cash, if they are placed in a time deposit account.
6. You may also want to consider consulting a financial advisor.
There are a lot of programs that offer these services for free. They
may be able to help you and give you advice on how you can avoid
temptations and save more money.
HOBBIES
Have coins? Will collect!
Old coins that is. Try looking under that old dresser, or up the
attic where grandma or grandpa’s things may be stashed away
patiently waiting for you to discover them. Who knows, you might
find a coin there, an old coin that – at today’s rate - may be
worth a few dollars; probably three or four or five, even ten
times what the coin was worth back then.
A penny a day, is worth okay
Fortunately or unfortunately, there was a shortage of copper
during the year 1943 and all pennies made at that time were
minted using steel. There were however, some Lincoln pennies
that were incorrectly minted on bronze that turned out to be
blanks. A few years – or decades later -these bronze pennies
became a rarity and are valuable. The steel ones though, because
of their commonality, are worth only between one to three
dollars each.
Be aware and be wary as there are schemes where gullible coin
collectors are sold coins that are copper plated in an attempt
to make these pennies appear to be bronze. Also, keep your guard
up anytime someone offers you a circa 1943 penny made out of a
metallic white alloy.
Old coins are good coins
Coins, specifically the silver dollars made and circulated
between the years 1878 and 1935, are worth between twelve
dollars and twenty five dollars for the circulated coins. The
coins that were not in circulation are worth considerably more.
Meantime, those quarters, dimes, or half dollar coins made and
circulated prior to 1965, are usually made out of ninety percent
silver and therefore worth as much as today’s silver (with an
additional premium, albeit small, put on the coin’s face value).
Wrong pennies are right
There is a Lincoln penny issued in 1972 on which the date and
the letters on it appear to have been doubled. This rare coin is
currently worth about sixty dollars, assuming the pennies are in
standard condition. The Philadelphia Mint during that time
period accidentally misaligned the die used in minting the coins
causing the portrait of Lincoln to look like it was doubled.
Fortunately or unfortunately, eighty thousand of these were
circulated before the error was discovered.
In summary, coin collecting is similar to collecting bits of
history and trivia from the past. In addition to the face value
its worth as a treasure - pennies, dimes and coins – often are
worth more in the long run.
