It's Fishy in Here....

A website called itsphishie also posted up on me. One thing that held my interest on their site was a comprehensive online money making guide they're currently building. Check it out! It's pretty helpful.

Pretty Ads

Guess what? AdSense SUCKS! So, thanks to this guy, I've been increasing my skills at making money online. His blog is helping me earn money online. I found out about him after he asked me to do a review exchange for links, and I am now using his site. I know you'll all thank me soon enough for doing so, because I learnt a thing or two about advertising on my site!

I now will have prettier ads!

Maybe not as pretty as the fractals ad (checked his site out yet?), but definitely better than AdSense....
But please check this guy's website out, because it can be quite helpful.

Top 5 Awesomest Blogs Ever - at least mine is :P

I've been written up by Roberto Alamos as one of the top five best and youngest bloggers, adding to my list of write ups and interviews :) I'm up there in the ranks of Thilak Raj Rao, David Wilkinson, Carl Ocab and Jessica Mah. Fun.

I Just Got Chowed!

I really need to get a new category for all my make money online posts! Wow, I'm getting desperate to find new ways for inserting anchor texts! Anyways, here's John Chow's site review program thingy. He reviewed me so I'm returning the favour. Like it'll make a difference....
I personally find his site fascinating and helpful, not to mention fascinatingly helpful. It's all about making money online, not to mention having some interesting snippets about... erm... his life. Sorry, I was thinking about them and trying not to laugh. Anyways, he is in the top 50 Technorati blogs, and is 2nd for something, probably pretty cool but I can't remember right now.
So go and check his site out and make some money while on your computer instead of learning wonderfully fabulous life lessons about money on my wonderfully fabulous site. Seriously, check it out and make some money so you can buy... stuff.

Give to the Online Community

I learned about these Alexis trains that are used to raise awareness about your favourite blogs. Carl over at carlocab.com put me on, so I wanted to spread some internet cheer! I added 3 sites I couldn't live without. Please, check them out, especially adults, because they are witty AND helpful at the same time! I try most of the time, but I can't ALWAYS do both!

If you want to be on the train and spread awareness about your blog and other favourites, here are the rules:

Put anything you like above this list – Chit Chat, talkies, introduce what this is. Something like that.
Move all the sites labeled “Newcomers” to the list labeled “Oldies”
Add 5 sites that you want to include in the train and make their link like this: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.example.com then invite them to join the train.
Visit all the listed sites! (That’s not much work! Remember, if you plant good seeds they will also grow good) and look at your high Alexa ranking next week!

Here's to Another Review

My saviour! After relentless months (weeks? days?) of trying to increase my website's awareness, or exposure, or increase traffic or whatever else you wanna call it, a website that is dedicated just to that! This site, also by a thirteen year old, shows you how to make money online, which is one great business idea I'm trying to talk about. And failing. So if any of you want to give blogging, mini sites, or whatever other online business ideas I've talked about, check this guy out! He has a fancy page design too! One post that I really enjoyed that will help me fix this website up is a nice, simple list. Heaven on Internet!

Con man Corner - Mini Sites

An amazing piece of ingenuity.
A business review.
Here is one great idea that I have taken the liberty of researching and displaying in a simple yet shocking manner in front of your very eyes. These ideas presented in these reviews are so crafty and easy to do that it would just make you seem like a con men. Or con woman. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the latest episode of

Con man Corner

Mini Sites. They are revolutionary. I want one, no, 300 of them!

Starting costs: Around 50 dollars to nothing.
Monthly fees: Around 5 dollars to 30 dollars.
Monthly income: Anywhere from 0 to ???? (meaning a lot times a lot plus a lot)

Here's the sitch. it starts out as a normal website. You get your domain and hosted server, but when choosing the domain, look at things that people search a lot. For example, I believe last month the top search in Canada was "menu foods". We're weird, aren't we? Anyways, let's say you got a domain along the lines of http://www.freefoodformenus.com/ and you'll get a lot of hits right there. But of course you'll need content, and because it's menu food people want, by George you'll give it!. What you'll want to do is get someone who knows HTML (preffereably a friend, or hire someone) to make a database, or "box" you can hold stuff in to. These shouldn't take up too much space on the page, as it should scroll down. Now you should go searching the web for recipes and add these in to your database. Once you've got a large database, put on ads and never worry about adding anything again! If you want some extreme optimisation on the ads, get a site where you click "next" or something like that, so for every recipe you get more pageviews on ads.
Here are some GREAT examples. Here is one with a scroll box, and
here is one that really optimises ads.

Let's Talk Books

I've been asked to write a book on money for kids by a publishing agency, and was wondering what kind of things you guys would like to see. Drop me a line (comment) please!

Review: The Automatic Millionaire

The book that sparked the idea for my post, Financial Security in Autopilot, the one, the only, The Automatic Millionaire! Anyways, once you've completed that little checklist, read on!

The Automatic Millionaire
Rated: *****

This book had an amazingly powerful recipe for success that no one can fail at. For example, if you buy a latte every day, they could be costing you 2 MILLION dollars! Most of what the author, David Bach, has published is a best seller and he gets rave reviews from everything. Written in an easy to understand format and using lots of big numbers to hold your attention, David Bach has written about how saving just a few dollars a day you can retire to a nest egg worth millions, and he also explains that if you can't save that extra few dollars, where can you find the money. I've loaned it to a few of my friends and they love it, even if they can't do anything about it, because just learning about stuff like this is pretty cool. It is literally one of those books you can not put down, and some people have made life changing decisions before they finished the book! So run, don't walk (unless you sprained your ankle or something), to your nearest book store and get this book.




Well, why are you still here? Go get it!

Review the Second: Rich Dad Poor Dad

I own TWO COPIES! This book is possibly one of the most powerful financial help books ever written. A number one New York Times bestseller, Rich Dad Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki and co-written by Sharon Lechter, had me engrossed all the way to the end, then made me read the sequel, Cashflow, then made me get all of his guides on money he’s ever written.

Rich Dad Poor Dad
Review:*****

This book is at first written in story mode, showing Rob's childhood involvement in money. First alerted to the power of money when they are not invited to a party because they were “Poor Kids” (that took a long time!), Robert and his best friend Mike have a lust for making money. They finally get their big idea! Casting their own nickels! No dice. So they seek Mike’s dad, who is on the verge of being rich, for financial help. He decides to hire them for 10 cents an hour for three hours a week. Pretty soon Robert gets fed up and asks for a change in pay. And change he gets. He is offered something he can’t, or rather, is not allowed to refuse. He is now getting paid nothing. But Mike and Robert incorporate their genius ideas and make lots of money anyways. After these exciting and humorous first few chapters, he starts talking about different ways of how to make the most of your working years such as, starting businesses, or minding your own business, as he calls it, how to escape the horrors of taxes (unfortunately, only legal ways were included) and most importantly, not working for money and making money work for you.

This was a quick read, but it was packed with knowledge and ideas, so with the thinking you have to do it takes quite a while to get through. A major thing that really caught my interest and held it was all of the schemes they think up. For example, they ran a comic book library and charged an entrance fee. They even had a bouncer! (Mike's little sister....) I couldn't follow through with the advice it gave because I don’t have a job or enough money to start up the businesses he was talking about! I would rate this book a 5/5. Because... well... It's good!

Post Number 50! Review Number 1!

There is only so much I can teach you guys because, although it's a sad thing to say, my knowledge is infinite. Whoops! I mean limited... So I have decided to add a new feature to my site. Whenever I do something that can really help you or me get financial knowledge, I will get my butt on this chair and type out a review. That way you can see what books are good and which ones are bad. There will be a lot of reviews because I read a lot of books... What else am I supposed to do in my pleasure time? Play sports? Pfft... But you can read other blogs about people who hate sports, but this is the one you came for to read this review so let's get it on!

CashFlow 101- The game
Rated: *****

CashFlow, the amazing board game by Robert T. Kiyosaki, award-winning best-selling author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad books, is designed to help people understand the power of paying off your debt and gaining passive income, or income you do not have to work for. (assets, etc.) You start off with a randomly chosen job, with varied income and expenses, and debt. You are in the rat race, meaning you have to work in order to live. Your goal is to increase your passive income to higher than your expenses and get out of the rat race. To do so, you have to decrease your expenses by paying off bills and increase your money-generating businesses.
I found this game to be both great fun and entertainment at the same time. For the first half of the game, I was extremely captivated and the game held consistent twists and turns to keep you locked in for the entire part. But once I got to the second half, it turned less exciting because the game took longer to do less. The problem is, playing the second and first half took too long, but playing the first half was too short. But all in all, this was a great game.
Go out and buy this amazing (expensive!) game. If you enjoy it, get the kids version and also CashFlow 202. (This guy works fast!)
