As the economy takes a nose dive, it has come to the realization to most americans that our jobs are gone, ore going.
In order to stabalize our economy we need more jobs. So stop sending hiring over seas, or out of the country. Keep the money in the US and find jobs local.
So as the title say’s don’t outsource, In-source.
Buy local
Goto local farmers markets (make sure products are not shipped in from other countries)
Find people in your neighborhood who can do the same thing, if not better.
Need an assistant, don’t outsource it to a foreign country, look at your local newspaper, craigslist.
Or when looking for an assisant in freelance.com, guru.com, rentacoder.com set the search for USA
Only go outside the country when the talents and skills are not available
Don’t always go on price, some of the “outside the USA” contractors may not know what you are trying to do, or what a specific idea is trying to relate to.
Okay, this is more of a rant, but our economy is taking a dive. If I can change or help one person with this post, then it’s worth it. Otherwise it’s just another job lost to the global economy.

I have been on the internet since late 89. That’s right, 89. I can even go back earlier, but the local Buletin Board Systems, The Source, H&R Block, Compuserve, Pipeline, Mindspring and then eventually Earthlink. So I have been around a while, and almost 20 years later, I decided to get into online marketing. It may be a bit late, BUT it’s never to late to start. I guess I was waiting for the technology to mature. Now that it has and I have watched the technolgies com and go.. I’t is finally time I took advantage of my online exploration and explore the money making side of the internet.
Is it real? can you make money online? or is it just a fad? That’s what I am here to find out.
Learn when me as I discover the different ways to make money online. Affiliate Marketing? Google Adsense? Banner Advertising?
You can create a calendar and then share it out. Other people can then view and see the calendar.
I have moved over several of my calendars to this format and have shared a few. I will be testing over the next couple of months to see how well it works out.
In the mean time, take a look at the Internet Marketing Events, Tradeshows and Confrences calendar I found. Most of these are online, and could be subscribed to easily.
This is my affirmation to you, and to my goal of making 100,000 dollars this year.
So, let’s get you up to speed quickly
During the summer/fall of 2007 I was looking for new videos to populate my Itunes, I came across “The Next Internet Millionaire”. This was a great reality-elimination-series produced for free. I was hooked, the Apprentice meets Internet Marketer.
I have been doing some backseat google adwords advertising for my computer site. After watching the mini-series and watch just small tid-bits from the speakers, I was inpsired. I ended up spending over $800 on adwords for a few sites, only to generate a measly $15 in adsense revenue.
That’s it.. Im done, at least for now. Back to the drawing board to figure out what I did wrong. Here is what I found and learned..
Lesson: I only wanted to market to the US. and I thought I was, until I realized that the World starts its day in the middle of the Prime Meridian
(pacific ocean). Austrailia is the first country to start the day. That means that all my advertising budget was spent before the sun even rose here in the USA.
Fix: Change the google campaigns to only present ads to the United States.
Lesson: Google by default will put your ads on the “content” network. This is NOT the search engines, but people placing google adsense on related sites. I was getting clickthroughs from them, but no where near what I wanted.
Fix: I reduced them from .50 per clickthrough to .02 cents per click through. I do get a few clicks, but much less. Which is good so my budge remains.
I realized I need a bit more training, so I will chalk this up to “education”. And continue trying. I WILL NOT GIVE UP.
So where am I to go for information. Well, I watched the next internet millionaire and decided that this seemed like a worthy product. The price is a bit higher than I wanted. $97 would have been great, but it was under $400 at the time. Okay, If I do things properly I could make that money back… return on investments (ROI) stuff.
It took over 3 weeks to get to me. This is longest I ever had to wait for a product online. I better be worth it.
When I received the product, I opened the large box to find the entire full season of the Next Internet Millionaire. Then I pulled out the 2 CD Binders which held 6 CDs each. There is also a small workbook with areas for notes. (not enough room for my note taking though).
After watching Mark Joyners CD on Simpology I knew what I needed to do. Focus, and create content
Now that you know what I think, see what it’s all about, click on the links below.. this may be the secret to making automatic passive income. Learning how to make money while you sleep.
Ever wonder about all the different things google can do for you? In my travels I found a quick 2 page pdf document that shows all the things that google can do. It’s a caluclator, is a UPS shipping tracker, it’s got all the sites listed.
Best of all? The document is broken down in Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert.
Richard Branson was at school, his headmaster predicted he would wind up either a millionaire or in jail. Since then, he’s done both. Here he talks to TED’s Chris Anderson about the ups and the downs of his career, from his multibillionaire success to his multiple near-death experiences, from Virgin’s line of spacecraft to the failure of the Virgin condom. He also reveals some of his (very surprising) motivations.
Whether you are promoting products and services to your website, or you simply want to establish yourself as an expert on your field, you need online users to visit your website. It’s because there is the likelihood of closing a sale when you have more visitors on your site. Thus, you a need a strong and effective marketing strategy to give your website the exposure it needs so it can easily be accessed. Among the traffic-generating tools being used today, article marketing remains supreme. It’s because it lets you showcase your knowledge by discussing topics that you are an expert on. In addition, its a great way to satisfy your reader’s hunger for information. Here are the 3 high powered secrets to multiple your article marketing:
Produce well-written articles. The quality of your articles determines the success of your marketing campaign. So make sure that your articles are well-crafted, grammatically sound, free from spelling errors, flow well, and most importantly, factually correct.
Focus on your topic. Make sure that all your information are geared toward explaining your central topic. It would help your marketing strategy better if your topic is relevant to your offerings so you can persuade online users to visit your site or your sales page. One great way to do this is presenting problems being faced by your target market, and then present your products as solution.
Hire a ghostwriter. In article marketing, the more articles you submit, the better. Its because you get much more back links to your site and provide much more information to your readers. But writing 5-10 articles a day can be tedious. It will not allow you to do other marketing campaigns to better drive traffic to your site. To make this possible, I suggest that you hire a ghostwriter who can produce equally great articles. This will help you speed up the process of getting traffic to you site and at the same time establish your self as an expert.
