Make Money with Free on-line Surveys

I decided to write this article as a word of warning after I had spent many hours searching the internet for money making ideas. Some sites on the internet badger you into spending money on these sites that promise you, they will tell you all the ways to make money by taking FREE surveys and the like. The truth is you don't have to pay to find these sites.

Most of the sites you can join, you can join for FREE and not had to depart with any money at all. It can feel very upsetting with you become members of survey sites you felt pressured to join and therefore departing with your money. You then wish you had spent more money searching the web or found some one to help for free. The question is where do you start with finding this advice or information for FREE.

So please don't waste money take a good look around before you agree to part with your cash.

There are thousands of Survey sites out there all willing to pay for your reviews and opinions. If you want to get involved and take part in the consumer world this is a great way to do it and get paid at the same time. You don't earn a great deal but you do get a nice bit of extra money. You can also do focus groups which is where some of the more money is.

Have fun and remember don't be taken in by the pay for services when you can get the same for free.

Investments and the ways to Make Money

Most people don't spend much time wondering what money is. Their only major concern is how much they have, and how to get more!

What is money?

It is a medium of exchange.

What does it do?

It ensures the success of exchange by being the one item on offer that is ALWAYS acceptable.

Why is it necessary?

Because human beings must exchange to live together in peace, and to prosper!

That's all!

On the other hand, without money, the production and exchange of anything but the most rudimentary goods and services is impossible. It is not difficult, or time consuming, or inefficient, it is IMPOSSIBLE!

Animals don't exchange (or trade) amongst one another. They are self-sufficient, or they take from each other, or they exercise the prerogative of superior strength and/or cunning.

There are some human beings who get along in a very similar fashion, but the overwhelming majority recognise the benefits of voluntary exchange.

Strictly speaking, the use of the word "voluntary" in this context is redundant. The phrase "your money or your life" is not the precursor to an exchange, whether the person uttering it brandishes a gun or a government identity card!

The first rule of any voluntary exchange is simplicity itself. If two people are willing to exchange, each must view the results of the exchange as being beneficial. If either of them is not of that view, the exchange will not take place.

The ways to make money in this world are simple:

Marry someone who is already rich.

Have a rich person die and will you their money.

Strike oil.

Discover gold

Win the lottery.

Rob a bank.

Work for it ...

Or have it work for you through investments!

In investing, you don't have to be an expert to take advantage of real opportunities!

But, in order to invest with confidence, profitable success and consistency and be able to take advantage of opportunities, first you should assure, that all your essential financial needs and responsibilities are met.

Then, start with:

1. Setting aside sufficient liquid funds for cases of emergency.

2. Making sure you are completely and adequately insured.

3. Building a reasonable retirement plan.

4. Getting out of debt -- and staying out!

5. Determining your time frame, and

6. Start investing with the aim of becoming financially independent!

As each of us enters different stages of life, our changing family status and objectives, incomes, expenses and living standards shape our investment strategy.

By having a clear idea of what you want your investment to accomplish, you'll be able to put your money to work more productively.

Investing is generally defined as the conversion of risk-free assets into risky ones with prospects of greater return.

Every investment has a certain amount of risk associated with it. You can minimize risk, if you are able to understand the different characteristics of the various investments and build your portfolio accordingly.

Given the existence of risk, why invest at all?

Because historically, the existence of greater risk is commensurate with greater rewards for investors.

You are almost certain to pick a bad investment sometime. The secret then is to cut your loss as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, most people find this very difficult to do. No one likes to think that he has made a mistake and there is a big temptation to hold on and hope for better days.

But there is almost always a time when an investment starts to turn sour that you can get out with only a small loss.

If you hold on you could be on the losing side for many years and then lose even more money in the end.

Having the courage to admit that you were wrong is an essential technique of successful investment as well as in other aspects of life.

A Swiss banker put it rather well:

"If you are losing a tug-of-war with a lion, give him the rope before he gets your arm ...

You can always buy a new rope."

Adsense - Make Money on-line without Selling

I think the title of this article gives the best definition that can be found for the AdSense program of Google.

Through its AdSense program Google let you earn without the need for you to sell anything at all to anyone anywhere.

Many persons, including who is writing this article right now, are making money and receiving checks from Google month after month.

And there are many internet entrepreneurs that are generating higher incomes from participating in the AdSense program than from the direct sales of their own products or services.

All right, you are thinking that I told you something that simply has no meaning as earning money without selling.
How can it work?

The answer is simple, you are paid per click and not per sale.

The AdSense program of Google is a service that let you, and anyone else that provides some kind of content online, to become a publisher for the Pay Per Click advertising program they run.

You can see it as a triangle, where three different subjects are involved:

- Advertisers

- Google

- Publishers

The advertisers join Google PPC service (named AdWords) in order to promote their services or products to the huge audience that this giant search engine has each day.

They bid on specific keywords that are relevant to the services or products they sell and have their ads displayed on Google when searches are made for the chosen keywords.
They pay to Google for every visit to their sites that comes from this promotion, so they pay for each click.

Google then opened another service called AdSense that is an addition to AdWords.
It is a service for online publishers, and let you display on your web pages ads of the AdWords advertisers targeted to the keywords of your web pages.
It is all done automatically when you add the simple code that AdSense gives you once you are approved for their service.

Once a visitor of your sites clicks on one link of the AdSense ads that your site displays the AdWords advertiser is charged by Google for the click, or visitor that is delivered to his site, and you are credited by Google a share of that money in your AdSense account.

So you are paid for selling nothing at all, but just for the click that the AdSense ad received in one of your web pages.

Of course the Google AdWords advertisers are very interested in selling the products and services they promote paying for every visitor sent to their site, and I sincerely hope that the clicks that increase my AdSense income benefit the advertisers that pay me through Google, but this anyway is not my concern or something I have to worry when I create my sites and add the AdSense code to them.

I am more interested in creating web pages that are interesting for my visitors and provide them useful content.
I worry to provide them with explanations and links of good resources if I don't have directly the opportunity to offer them a product or a service, and the ads displayed by Google are an addition that can be interesting and useful for them and can increase my income.

I think it seems all very simple from the above explanations.
One thing that is very important to know is that the Google AdWords program is extremely crowded and there are really a lot of keywords and key phrases with big competition and very high bids.
This means that advertisers pay a lot of money for every single click for those keywords.

Of course also AdSense publishers can earn a lot of money if they have sites related to those keywords that receive many visitors and many clicks to the Google ads.

Making Money - Cart Before the Horse

Think money, think freedom! Think money, think peace of mind. Think money, think pleasure. All very reasonable comparisons when we start to dream about having the kind of income to achieve this. Is this the problem we have when we start, or try to build an online business?. We become mesmerized by the promises of luxury cars, houses, clothes, lifestyles fed to us from sales copy more suited to science fiction than basic reality. Of course there is an abundance of all these things, but in the right order.

Being too focused on the cash end of the business can lead us to be careless in our construction of a solid, viable, growing concern. Aren't you turned off when a page wreaks of hype, gaudy, comic book style content? A great deal, a solid product or service at a competitive price will outlast any or all of the questionable "Give me the the money now" sites. The way to build a sound online business is to put service first, create the buzz that will surround your site when you have, researched the market. Put as much passion into the undertaking as you can muster,give value for money, give, give, give.

What if you've done all that and still not got results? I have had people say to me, "We have tried everything we can to make money from our business, but nothing worked. Tried Everything? Nothing worked? Belief is a strong influence in deciding the outcome of any undertaking. Relax, believe that you can, let it happen rather than trying to force things. How many businesses do you imagine are working for their owners at the present time? It's millions, that's a lot of people to give you the reason to persevere.

What is life if there is no written word?

Tips on Succeeding at Rugby League Betting

What is the best way to make money from betting on rugby league, and in particular the Super League? If we knew the answer to that question we would all be rolling in it. However, just like any sport there are certain aspects that must be taken into account before you lay out any money on a bet.

It goes without saying really that the ability of the teams must be taken into account, but it is also imperative that the weather conditions are considered. It is often good judgement to go with the outsiders if they get a big start in the rain. Once the rain starts the ball becomes like a bar of soap and the ability to score tries becomes more difficult. It makes sense therefore to side with the team who get a start in the wet, and by betting on a low points total should that be on the spreads or with the traditional bookie.

This precipitation factor is often overlooked by the casual punter who is more often than not just desperate to have a bet. Should you live close to the ground this can give you an advantage, but if this is not the case there are numerous websites which can provide a valuable service. It should however be remembered that there is nothing quite as unpredictable as the British weather.

In order to take advantage of the weather you need to know your teams intimately. To do this you should ask yourself some pertinent questions. Do Team A like to play an open and expansive game of rugby? Do they frequently try to offload during the tackle? Is it their plan to try to outscore the opposition rather than play a tight defensive game? Should the response to these questions be yes, then it is very likely that this team likes playing in dry conditions where the points are easier to come by, and the game can employ more passing, and inventive rugby is much easier to pull off.

On the other hand, teams who have more fun in the rain tend to be those who go through the forwards and rely on territorial advantage to squeeze the life out of the opposition. These teams tend to be made up of big, powerful players who are more at home playing low-risk rugby. They probably won't provide the best spectator friendly spectacle, and may well suffer in hot conditions, but they are as happy as pigs in mud when the pitch is a quagmire and the handling is impossible.

It is still important to be up to date with team news, and this can be checked out by visiting club websites or by reading the local newspapers. It is crucial to keep a check on the team news as this can let you know about injuries within the respective camps. However, be careful of stories that claim one side is supposedly struggling with loads of injuries or if there is an illness dogging the camp. It is often the case that these are just stories and rumours, and have no basis in fact. It is quite amazing how often a player, who it has been rumored is doubtful for the game, ends up making a miraculous recovery and lines up with the team.

Using Trends to Bet on Rugby League

For punters who like to follow trends, betting on the Super League can be quite profitable. To come first in the Super League is a massive advantage, and it is seldom the case that a finalist in the Grand Final hasn't been a table-topper in the Super League.

It has to be said that the biggest showpiece occasion for rugby league is the Challenge Cup. However, don't let the romance of the competition lead you to believe that the underdogs will have their day, as this is so often not the case. In recent years, it has only happened once that the cup hasn't gone to one of the big four teams of Wigan, Leeds, Bradford and St Helens. Choosing between the four teams is not easy and punters should beware of lumping on any team in a cup competition where the draw is random and you could find your choice paired with a daunting away trip because of an unlucky selection draw.

Once the final is reached however, there is always a huge amount of markets available, especially the Lance Todd Trophy - the man of the match as voted for by the rugby league reporters - which is by far the most prestigious. It is generally safe to say that half-backs are by far the most likely winners of this trophy.

If you move away from the glamour and glitz of the Super League, a number of bookmakers' firms offer bets on the two divisions of the National League. These games are not shown on television so any research carried out will have to be done either by reading the form book, match reports or by going to the games themselves and making your own mind up about the respective teams. Obviously this is not an ideal situation, particularly for those punters who live in the south, miles away from the teams' grounds, while the team news is the key factor for both punters and bookies alike.

It is very likely that you will have to spend hours trawling through local newspaper websites, official team sites and fan forums to pick up any speck of information about injuries which could be the difference between making a winning and losing bet. However, you may find it worthwhile in the long run and it can be interesting to catch up on all the news anyway.

It is difficult therefore to get long-range advice with team news being such an important factor in National League betting, and it is advisable to be wary of teams who are forced to play maybe three games in a week because of fixture congestion. This is due mainly to the fact that most teams are made up of part-time players and it is not uncommon for players to work during the day and then rush to get to a game in the evening. Bear in mind that there is travelling involved in the away trips, and that fitness often plays an enormous part in proceedings.

Rugby League Sports betting Tips

Since the launch of satellite television, sports coverage and sports betting have gone hand in hand. This is most evident in the growth of rugby league. Since the beginning of summer rugby league, betting on the sport has increased dramatically with bookmakers now offering a variety of markets on a number of different competitions.

The most popular and certainly the biggest from a sports betting point of view is Super League, where the teams play 28 regular-season games before the play-offs, which then determine the Grand Final winner. With live matches shown on TV most Friday and Saturday evenings and the sport emerging from football's shadow thanks to its summer slot, it's easy to see why there has been a boom in rugby betting, and the number of choices for punters is not far behind football, though turnover is obviously still well beneath the kind of levels that the Premiership and Champions League attract.

The majority of bookmakers offer match betting, winning margins and first try scorer options, as well as under/over points on live matches, but the favourite form of rugby league sports betting is the handicap because the uncompetitive nature of many Super League match-ups often lead to one team being excessively odds-on to win the match for most punter's liking. So what is the best way to make any money from betting on the Super League? Most obvious would be the ability of the teams to be taken into consideration, however, it is imperative to check the weather before getting stuck in. Some teams play better in the rain and cold than others. It makes sense to side with those who get a start in the wet and betting on a low points total, either on the spreads or with traditional bookmakers, but the rain factor is often overlooked by the more casual punter, who is just desperate to have a bet.

The best way of using the weather to your advantage is to know your teams. You should ask yourself questions like: Do team A like to play an open, expansive style of rugby? Do they continually try to offload in the tackle? and, is their game plan all about attempting to outscore the opposition? If the answer to these questions is yes, then the likelihood is they are a side best suited to playing in dry conditions where points are easier to come by and passing and creative rugby is much easier to pull off. On the other side of the coin are the teams who go through the forwards and rely on territorial advantage to squeeze the life out of the opposition, and who usually have more joy in the rain.

However, to be successful in this or any other form of sports betting it is still important to be up to date with the latest news and it is always a good idea to read the trade papers , which provide match previews, reports and news from all the clubs in Britain and Australia. Team news is another important factor but be careful of stories that claim that one side is struggling with a lot of injuries. More often than not, these are just rumours and it is amazing how often a player is listed as doubtful yet makes a full recovery to line up with the rest of the team!
