How To Generate Unique Business Ideas That Make Money?

Every money making opportunity that you see boils down to one common
thing: idea. As you know the best ideas pay. The most creative ideas pay.

The best thing about ideas is it’s free and everybody has the capability
to think of ideas.

In order to be creative and innovative about ideas, you have to have
knowledge. Knowledge is important. You need to know thousands of things
to be creative.

Below are steps that you can take to come up with profitable innovative
ideas:

1) Read and study as many things as possible about your industry or
product. You need to investigate specific information of what you are
going to sell. For example, if you want to be involved in real estate,
you study everything about the subject matter in details. If you want to
start a business, you have to know what’s going on in your industry, what
sells and at what price, etc.

2) Improve general knowledge. Don’t limit yourself to only learn about
things in your own industry. Learn as many topics as possible from other
industries. It can be any topic. This enables you to think out of your
own industry.

3) Mix and match ideas from cross industry. Once you investigate and
research enough, your mind is the
storehouse of all the ideas you have studied. And this is the main source
to your creative ideas. All the knowledge you have learned so far is the
raw materials to produce new ideas.

4) Thinking of raw idea. After you have done your study, think hard about
the solutions you want to your problem. Then stop and relax. Get a cup of
coffee or go for a movie. Do something relaxing and let your subconscious
mind work for you. The idea or solution will come to you at a much
unexpected moment. For me, ideas always come to me before I sleep. My
mind will be bombarded with ideas that I can’t stop.

5) Refine your raw idea until it’s up to your satisfaction. You can
always do your own research on the raw idea by asking questions to target
market to test the feasibility of the idea and how to improve the idea
further.

Basically new idea is a combination of old ideas. You need to have enough
old ideas to come up with new ideas. That’s why constant reading and
observation are important.

Sometimes when someone has launched a new product, you would say, “Hey! I
thought about that before. That’s my idea.” You might have had thought
about the idea but you didn’t capitalize on it. Someone has done it
before you.

It’s always good that you have an ideas book. Whenever you think of a
good idea, write it down. You can always work on it or improve it later.
Bring along the ideas book wherever you go. It doesn’t need to be fancy.
It can be a normal pocket-sized spiral notebook.

With the method outlined above, I hope that you will be the next person
who makes fortunes with unprecedented ideas that people can never think
of.

How to Get a Grip on Your Money

Most people have no idea where their money goes. They earn it and they
spend it.

That’s fine if you want to live from week to week and are not concerned
about your financial future. However if you want to increase your wealth
and have more options, action needs to be taken by you otherwise you
could end up like most people further down the track, totally dependant
on a pension.

Karen’s Story

Karen is the Marketing Manager for a well-known organisation. She’s 39
yrs old, single and earns over $80k a year. She is paying off a mortgage
and that’s all the debt she has.

Karen buys whatever she likes and says she has more than enough money for
her lifestyle…or so she thought. And that’s a very important point -
Karen ‘thought’ she had plenty of money to splash around yet she had no
real idea of where it went.

She was at the stage where she wanted to achieve more in her life
including taking charge of her financial future.

One of the exercises I gave her to do was to sort all her financial
statements – visa card, bank accounts and any cash receipts and list her
income and expenditure under specific headings ie: loans, clothing,
utilities, food etc. Karen recorded everything that occurred for the past
6 months . She nearly fainted when she saw how much money she had wasted
and how much she was overspending! She was going backwards fast and only
realised it by doing this simple exercise.

In the past Karen hadn’t put a high priority on her financial well-being
as it was just too hard. Being a marketing manager, her life was busy at
work and she had a hectic social life. She didn’t want to bother doing
something that wasn’t exciting like working on her financial future.
After all, she had a well-paid job, didn’t she?

Karen has now come to her senses and knows her true financial situation.
If she lost her job, financially she couldn’t afford to be off work for
more than a month. She realises that she is responsible for her future.

The area of wealth creation hadn’t been of great interest to Karen in the
past. Now that she was undertaking coaching, she was serious to making a
change. Prior to writing down where her money was going, Karen was
completely closed to any suggestion to read more about how she can
accelerate her wealth (or lack of it), so I didn’t pursue this with her.
Her attitude had now changed so she was ready and willing to move to the
next step.

The next move…I referred Karen to an organisation who would look at her
total financial picture and be able to recommend what she could do. The
reason I chose these people is because they take a holistic approach to
wealth creation. They look at every aspect and provide an on-going
education as well as a hand-holding service.

We met after her first session and Karen said she nearly had a heart
attack at the meeting. She realised how much money she had been giving
away to the tax office. Being on such a high income she was being taxed
47c for every dollar earned. She now realised that by making some small
changes she could keep this money and have investments that over time
would accelerate her financial situation dramatically.

She now had enough knowledge to make decisions and take actions that
could make her financially independent over the next few years. Karen
couldn’t believe how simple it was!

Your Financial Future – Whose Responsibility?

Unfortunately you cannot leave your financial well-being in the hands of
anyone else except yourself.

Of course, you can seek advice from professionals in that field like
accountants and financial planners; however, it really is up to you to
lead the way …to be proactive!

Having attended many seminars, spoken to wealthy people and to the
financial professionals (many of whom aren’t independently wealthy
themselves), and read many books on the topic of wealth creation, I have
found you cannot rely on any one person to delegate your financial
affairs to. You need to be proactive and take control of your own life.

How to Take Control of Your Financial Future

Get your finances in order first: You need to know what you spend, what
you earn, how much you owe and how much you own…Not in your head but in
writing. What you think your situation is and what is reality, will more
than likely be two totally different scenarios.

If you know where you are right now you can then seek out appropriate
solutions to your specific financial needs.

How to Get Started

Speak with your accountant on the best way to set up your recording
system.
Ask them how you can increase your wealth.
Ask your accountant and/or your financial advisor how they have created
their wealth. What do they invest in?
Talk to people who are wealthy. Ask them how they accumulated their
wealth.
Question everything.
Read books and attend seminars on wealth creation…the more informed you
are the easier it is to make sound decisions. We regularly advertise
these types of events in our Event Update: office-organiser
.au/weeklyupdate.html
Don’t believe everything you hear, see and read, particularly if the
person advising you reaps financial benefit from you accepting their
advice.
Only listen to people who “have rungs on the ladder”. Once you’ve have
done some research (and this can happen in a matter of days or weeks,
depending on your efforts) then:
Take action
Sure you’ll make mistakes along the way, however that’s the only way you
can progress. Learn from them and move on.

The Final Word
Looking after your financial well-being should be high on your
priorities. It’s about having choices in your life. Do you really want to
work from dawn to dusk to support the lifestyle you and your family have
become accustomed to? Perhaps you don’t get to enjoy the lifestyle
because you’re too busy busting your guts at work.

Imagine what it would be like to work because you want to, not because
you have to?

If financial freedom is something you desire in the not too distant
future (and it doesn’t happen overnight), you have to take action
sometime… like right now!

6 more free steps to making money online

If you read my previous article you will know that the goal of these
articles is to teach you ways to get started making money online without
having to spend any money.

This is the second in the series and this time we deal with having your
own blog. There are endless ways of making money once you have traffic,
and your blog will get you traffic. The income we will be looking at
today will come from Google Adsense.

There are multiple benefits to having a blog including the low cost (or
no cost), the resources that will help you get traffic to your blog and
the fact that you can provide your blog as an RSS feed. An RSS feed will
allow readers to automatically receive your updates into their RSS reader.

Let’s get started with our 6 steps.

1. Set up your blog. You will need to decide what you are going to blog
about. You should decide on a theme and name your blog appropriately.

There are a number of free ways to set up a blog & to have it hosted for
free. We will go with Blogger for our first blog.

Blogger will allow you to set up a blog for free they will host it for
free and they will ping search engines every time you update, meaning you
will get spidered & found.

Visit blogger & click the button on the front page labelled ‘create your
blog now’ then follow the step by step instructions that Blogger provide.

Some key settings you will want to get right are:

I) ‘Host your blog at Blogger’ = Yes
II) ‘Add your blog to our listings’ = Yes
III) ‘Ping Weblogs ‘ = Yes
IV) ‘Publish Site Feed’ = Yes

2. Write some content. Before we move any further there has to be some
information on the site & that means that you have to make some entries.
You can write some of these entries yourself & some can be quotes from
sites of interest to your reader that you can post using the Google
Toolbar.

You can download the Google toolbar for free at toolbar.google . The
toolbar includes a Blogger button. When you visit a site that has
something of interest to your readers you can highlight the appropriate
text & click the Blogger button. The content will then be added to your
blog along with a link back to the site.

3. Once you have some content eg a weeks worth of blogging with 1 or 2
entries for everyday, you can apply for an adsense account. When you sign
in to Blogger you will see an invitation to join Adsense. Use this link
and apply for an account.

You can find out all about Adsense on the Adsense page but basically you
get Google ads on your site & get paid if your visitor clicks them.

Google will decide what adverts show on your site based on the content it
finds within.

You need to be aware that Google will decline your application if your
site is not considered to have content. Nobody outside of Google knows
the precise rules on this.

Once you have been accepted you can get some javascript from Google to
add to you site. Copy this & then log in to Blogger.

Once you have logged into your blog you will see that one of the tabs
across the top of the screen is labelled ‘Template’. Click this. You will
need to know a little bit of HTML to help find the right location to
paste your Google code. But with a little experimentation you will find
the right place for you. See the resource box at the end of this article
for more help.

I would suggest that the ads need to be seen when the site loads but
should not be too obvious or dominate your site.

4. Write some more content. Try and keep your content coming at regular
intervals as a number of directories will check on your site at regular
intervals & the smarter ones will visit on a schedule based on your
update schedule. They will probably determine this in the hours after you
first submit to them. Which is what we will do next.

5. Submit your site to Blog & RSS directories. Because you are hosting at
Blogger, Weblogs will already be notified when you update your blog.
(That means that every time you make a new entry they are automatically
notified) You will need to manually submit to the various other
directories some of which will require a link on your site to theirs.

You can add these links to your template below your Blogger logo. For a
list of directories to get you started visit themoneyseed /rss

6. Keep writing interesting content. Ideally you want people to come back
again and again. As with customers its harder to get a new visitor than
to keep existing visitors. So make it interesting, in fact make it so
interesting that they can’t help but tell all their friends about it also.

As with most free ways to make money this will take time to get going,
but if you can build a following you will make money.
