I sent my e-zine out last week and I received a copy of it back. It had been forwarded to me by a subscriber. In the subject line was a two word sentence; since most publications and websites frown upon vulgarity, obscenity, and profanity, I have spared you the exact wording. Be assured, however, that Miss Manners would definitely not approve.

What could be better than an opportunity to make money using the power of affiliate marketing, while avoiding the hassle of having to build a site or pay to host your domain?
Wouldn’t it also be wonderful to have someone else do the work of sending traffic to your site?
Basically, you just sit back and wait for those huge commission checks to roll in.
Sound too good to be true? Good, because you guessed it. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
There are two ways to think about AdSense: you can think of it as a way to use your website to make money; and you can think of it as a way to make money with a website.

Every day web site owners let their domain names expire by accident. A savvy and aggressive domain name investor can then scoop the domain name up and capture a great deal of existing web site traffic for a brand new site. Many a web site owner has been on the short end of this stick, and many a savvy investor made that much richer.
Web sites live and die by the number of daily visitors they receive. But when a site with a memorable domain name and good traffic becomes available through the fault of its owner, a fortune can be made.

Do ideal clients really exist or are they a myth? Let me assure you, there ARE ideal clients out there. You just need to know what your definition of one is.

One of the most frequent questions I receive from those who are trying to start or grow their own consulting business is: “How and what do you charge clients for your consulting services?”
The ways of billing clients are numerous. There are hourly rates, by-the-job fixed rates, contingency or performance arrangements, flat fee plus expenses, daily fee plus expenses, and many other methods of charging for your consulting services. Which one is best?
