Remember that silly video where John Chow, "mister make money online" himself starts talking about shit for almost an hour or less?

Well, reading how Squidoo Queen makes $2800 a month I finally got 1 and 1 together when it comes to making money. Quite embarrassing that it took me 1 year, but then I
only recently got my hands on Squidoo Queen’s secrets and one thing leads to the other.

2 secrets of making money

1. Fertilize what works

As simple as that: whatever is growing in making you money, make sure you keep on feeding it so it grows more.

2. Flush what doesn’t work

As simple as that: don’t waste time on things making you pennies when somewhere else you are making dollars.

Flush anything out of your system that keeps you away from making money during the hours you are trying to make money.

3. Summarized: the 3 F words for success

F for fertilize what works.

F for flush what doesn’t make you money

F for why didn’t I figure this out sooner…

Thanks Squidoo Queen for the final e-book in my success

DoD brings you the most hilarious and ridiculous invention ever: a hand-held lie detector. ‘red’ means you’re lying …How do you ask a suicide bomber after he blew up the square???

Is DoD the new RED in the war-against-HIV/Aids RED campaign?

DoD as in Do or Die! Oops, Department of Defense formerly known as Department of WAR (no kidding!!!) has done it again: using up taxpayers money to create more nonsense: a handheld lie detector…

New anti-terror weapon: Hand-held lie detector

U.S. troops in Afghanistan first to get new device; ‘red’ means you’re lying

The Defense Department says the portable device isn’t perfect, but is accurate enough to save American lives by screening local police officers, interpreters and allied forces for access to U.S. military bases, and by helping narrow the list of suspects after a roadside bombing. The device has already been tried in Iraq and is expected to be deployed there as well. “We’re not promising perfection — we’ve been very careful in that,” said Donald Krapohl, special assistant to the director at the Defense Academy for Credibility
Assessment, the midwife for the new device.

Some of the short comings of the device:

• both the proponents and critics agree on one thing: This new device is likely to be less accurate than a polygraph, because it gathers less physiological information.
• oops: gathering less physiological information in a war zone where everybody is ‘de facto’ stressed out… that’s going to be as accurate as measuring the distance between the earth and the moon with your thumb…
• So a US solder will ask an Afghan : "did you put this bomb here"? (just after an explosion… which triggers lots of emotions anyway…) and the Afghan most likely needs a translator…
• so how do you narrow the list of suicide bomber suspects after a roadside???

Really DoD: WHO YOU GONNA ASK?

Oh well: if we can go to war in Iraq and spend billions with no results, then why not create a device with equally no results… lead by example!

How long can you laugh before you cry?

Now which one of these you want to interrogate…

Can we use the new DoD device on politicians?

Really: can all politicians use the device when they are giving their next speech? Just for the fun of it ‘red’ for embarrassing

I mean really Colin Powell: is that anthrax you are carrying?

• if yes: if it breaks, wouldn’t that wipe out the United Nations Security Council? ‘red’ for embarrassing
• if no: then who are you trying to fool? ‘red’ for embarrassing

Or was it yet another publicity stunt (gone real bad after 4000 US dead soldiers…) like selling fast cars as if they went as fast as the operation needed for adding the boobs to the model (not the car model, the babe model sitting on it).

‘red’ for hot

The RED Campaign DOD for embarrassing

Back in January 2006 U2’s Bono launched RED : a new global brand or associated product code.

Gisele Bundchen having sex with … oops
Gisele Bundchen and a Masai warrior
in lots of RED because
red lips, red cars, red clothes…
red makes money!
Yes: the new DoD lie detectors makes lots of money for yet another useless device

The aim of the Real RED Campaign is that :

a share of profits from ‘Red’ branded products
(American Express, Gap, Converse, Motorola, Giorgio Armani…
selling T-shirts, footwear, sunglasses, handphones credit card
in red or a RED logo)
will be used
to fight against Aids in Africa.

RED for a real cause…

But in the case of the handheld lie detector: just another red wasted… Trying to fund yourself DOD …

How much money did (The) Carpenters make?

The Carpenters found a niche in the 70s when louder and faster-paced rock was in great demand. Reason why we know them is because their soft musical niche music that made them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

But all that couldn’t prevent Karen of The Carpenters to die of anorexia nervosa at the age of only 32. Money can’t buy everything!

How much money did carpenter Joseph from the Bible make?

Joseph, the man that helped virgin marry to fled to Egypt so they were able to bring up Jesus…

It’s not stated how much money carpenters made during those days, but for all I learned from the bible:

• have your business where there is lot’s of traffic (traders in the synagogue)
• you can always double your money if you let it work. Just know that twice 3 is only 6 where twice 5 is already 10… the more money you have, the easier it gets
• you don’t have to do a lot to become famous:just make sure you get seen around another famous person (who would have ever known there was a carpenter named Joseph when there wouldn’t have been Jesus

So don’t look at a persons’ pay check, but learn how they got the paycheck!

How much money do real carpenters make?

How much money do carpenters make?

Normally, carpenters make between 10$ to 30$ an hour. The more skillful they are, the more they can earn.

Skillful means:

1. if they have the skills to negotiate a better price, they can earn more
2. if they have finer carpenter skills, they can earn more
3. if they have better tools, they can earn more

So remember that even the best carpenter can be the least paid. Just visit Bali and see how little these amazingly skilled wood-carvers are making…

Carpenters’ earnings versus Linky Love’s earnings

Compared to carpenters in Bali, Linky love is doing well, compared to carpenters in US, there is room for improvement:

1. I am not a salesperson, so I am not that good in negotiating prices for advertising, nor am I good in selling stuff online
2. I am not an IT person, so my money making skills are less compared to let’s say John Chow "who was born in a computer"
3. I am resourceful and finding better tools, resulting in new websites like Adopt a Puppy for Free : 20 days young and already making more money than Gwen Stefani Clothes make in 1 month…

Evaluation

Know yourself

Read what I said about how carpenters can earn more money and then see for yourself where you stand:

1. if carpenters have the skills to negotiate a better price, they can earn more
2. if they have finer carpenter skills, they can earn more
3. if carpenters have better tools, they can earn more

I am :

1. not a salesperson
2. not an IT person but
3. I am looking for better tools in order to make more money online

One tool I bought is the complete Step-by-Step Guide on creating Profitable Blogs. From that I mainly use the "Find yourself a new niche website tool". This makes that I am starting to make more money on the Internet outside of the Linky Love blog.

Selling adspace is not my forte either, so as you can see now:

• you can just buy adspace in 1 second here : text-link-ads for only 10$ and exposure for half a year!
• buy adspace in 1 minute here : it gives you statistics about my visitors, so saves me the sales person talk : just look at the bare facts and decide for yourself
• why advertising on Linky Love is a great way of attracting more visitors to your website and
• why advertising on Linky Love is a great way of branding your products.

If you are blogging for money yourself: then evaluate where you stand.

• if you are good in selling stuff, then by all means make more efforts there.
• if you have a good IT background and you want to dig deeper in order to reach more, then by all means make more efforts there.
• if you are like me: not an IT person nor a salesperson, then get yourself some good tools in order to blog better

Think outside the box…

Really look around yourself and look with eyes that monetize…

Charisma Carpenter Playboy Gallery

An example of thinking outside the "Carpenter" box is illustrated in the picture below, yet outside the box doesn’t always have to mean outside your clothes…
That’s why you can also have a look at  href="http://www.womansswimwear.net/2008/03/charisma-carpenter-in-bikini.html">Charisma Carpenter in a bikini …

Charisma Carpenter Playboy Gallery is only 1 example of
thinking outside the "Carpenter" box…

Another example about thinking about the carpenters box is selling the carpenters sticker heads in the picture higher above…

Future earnings

Like I said last month: on average we are making $300 a month. With the amount of effort I put in this blog compared to other blogs (Adopt a Puppy for Free), I should be making my target of $1000 a month already long time ago.

We have to face it: earning $3000 a year is great when you talk about pocket money in the west.

It’s even better when you talk about living in the east. It buys me 3 airplane tickets from east to west, which is great for sitting on my butt and writing about the things I love

Main thing is you do what you love, and if what you love is wood and "carpenting", then by all means become a carpenter, no matter how much money it does or doesn’t make…
