Make Money Create Blogs for Your Neighbors
Now that you know how to build a WordPress website, why not put your talent to work and make some extra money?
Look around your neighborhood and talk to storekeepers and manufacturers that you know. Ask them if they have a website? If they do ask them if they have a Blog?
The normal answer to question number two is, No. They may tell you that they can’t be bothered, but in reality it is probably more like they are scared to Hell to get into it figuring they would make some serious blunders and do not want to look like an idiot.
That’s where you can put on the salesman’s cap and give them your best pitch.
A Blog is DYNAMIC. It is ever changing with new content and the Big G (and other search engines also,) just LOVE new content.
With new content the client/customer will be able to impress their readers with new products, discount sales, special promotions and so on. Their Blog sites will get indexed much more often then their old canned spam static website.
Here is where you put on your techie beanie. You will build them a website or Blog and customize and fine tune it to just what their needs are. You already are friends with all of the plugins and themes and bells and whistles that you have struggled to tame, and now it should be cake to implement all of just the right ones for this project.
How do you make money?
Well let me tell you how I do it. Offer to work cheap, say fifty bucks an hour. Most web design companies have to charge $150-$200 per hour to cover their costs, overhead and profit. You won’t have much of an expense and the work is going to be done in your spare time, and it will keep you out of the bars anyway.
I figure a minimum of 40 hours is needed to set up a site from the ground up. That’s name, registration, hosting, and miscellaneous minor expenses. Then you will work with the client to design a system that suits them and you will keep getting input from them as you are building it. They usually do not have any idea what they want until you show them what you have in mind, and then they might get the design juices flowing themselves and feed you with a bunch of good material.
So after a couple of weeks of spare time and about 40 hours invested you should have a half dozen or so articles posted and the client should easily be able to take over the posting. If not, then you might be able to continue posting, say a minimum of a couple of times a week for X amount of dollars on a continuing basis.
I have done this a few time so far and to date I have never drawn any of the above named rates, but I make sure to let the client knows what a great deal they are getting even with my low rate. Here is what I do for payment. Think about what the client has a lot of that could be worth something to you. I have taken goods in trade, and I have also negotiated a commission payment or piece of the action, which you will have to try to negotiate yourself. Most people in business are willing to give it a try if they do not have to actually fork over hard earned cash.
I know it works for me. My customers are thrilled with the results, and they are on their happy Blogging way!

Michael Martine is new Best Friend to LinkMoney dot org
A few days ago I submitted a comment on Michael Martine’s very fine Remarkablogger website in which I asked him to describe three often used phrases in website promotions. The three terms were; Anchor Text, Backlinks and Nofollow. Well Michael, true to his word, did just that in today’s post which you should read at SEO for Beginners.
The one thing that struck me the most was that Anchor Text is the actual text you use in the link, like the word “Rebarkablogger” above. One should never use such as “Click Here,” because the search engines actually index the Anchor Text.
Thanks again Michael.
Oh and Michael also recommends very highly a very easy to understand ebook titled SEO School and he provides a discount coupon from his website.
Need a Spare Cell Phone
This is about Money as it will show how to make sure you have a Spare Cell Phone for the unexpected cell phone emergency. This came about for me personally because just as I was in the middle of a Money Deal, my Cell Phone crapped out. Yikes!
I made the decision right there to always have a Spare Cell Phone available. I shopped around and came up with the very best deal I could find on the Internet and it was this one. I am sharing it here with you readers so you can be ready for your next cell phone emergency.
Why would I want a second cell phone?
It is a very good idea to have at least two telephone numbers for friends and family to be able to reach you. Some of the Electric and Gas companies almost insist on it, and it could work very well in screening your calls. Like me you might have disconnected your land line wired phone. No reason to pay outrageous copper wire phone company extortion any more. The Cell phone plans available most anywhere can give you free long distance.
Have you ever dropped your mobile phone and it flew apart? You anxiously put the battery back in and prayed that it would work. What would you do if it did not? This is when you will remember having read this article. (You better bookmark this article, or add it to your favorites, right now!)
Another reason for having a spare cell phone is to use in case of emergencies. You will want to get help as soon as possible if you are in a dire situation. The best way to reach someone that can respond to the crisis is 911, or to use the emergency number for your specific area. There are times that your primary cell phone provider might not have service in certain locations, and you might be able to reach help on a second provider’s service.
You might just want to make sure all of your kids and aging parents have a cell phone available, and I can find no better deal anywhere than this one from Net10.
I was going to order an extra one to throw in my briefcase, and then I thought, what about one for the glove compartment? Well at 30 bucks each, all activated and ready to go, with no contracts, no signatures, no hassle, I ended up buying six of them.
You might want to buy a couple for yourself, or even several to give as gifts!
