How to Make money on the internet

There are many ways to make money on the Internet. The best and most fun ways have started by accident; people were not trying to make money at all.  That is one of many millionaire secrets. How do you do it?  Like so many others. This is your start. Like I responded a reader’s blog. That is one, and online, one here and one there worldwide equals hundreds of thousands to millions, if 1% of them paid you a dollar then imagine. It is not guaranteed and should not be. It should be fun. Step oneFind your niches.Like sittersity.com she matched list of babysitters with a list of mothers looking for good quality babysitters like dating sites worked and threw in a background check and charged the families, the sitters could list for free.  She made millions.If you like ice cream then make a website about it. Post reviews, message boards, email list, and of course blog-blog-blog (which is a written journal online) you say I like chocolate and millions of others will agree and view your site, eventually vendors, media and others will make contact with you to advertise on your site because of the targeted audience.Step two Keep it simple. Do not load down your website with tons of links, banners and flash, some small is o.k. But it is like looking at a train wreck. Too many items will drown out your specialty and that it your core audience. If you have more than one specialty, then I suggest you make a separate site for that, it will work better for you. Step three. After you turn it into a business, then treat it as such. Learn as much as you can about it.Step fourFind an expert in the areas you like and make contact and I am sure that the rest will be history. This is a very brief and simple description. For more detailed information I currently sale exclusive programs on how to get out of debt $100.00 and am working on a complete guide to starting a business. I can give a rough draft copy for $30.00. These programs are hard copies. If you would like a cheaper version, I currently could e-mail them to you in MS word format at a cost of $30.00 for the debt program and $10 for the business draft. Send your information name, address, and phone number and email address to Flora International Inc. 827 cathedral drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23455.

Sorry for the incontinence my current website www.florainternation.org had been shutdown to problems with my graphic designer and software.  I currently use many other sites as alternatives.  Questions, comments, email me at troyflora@yahoo.com

How does one write a grant request?

How would I write a grant request?

I am looking for financial gifts [any amount] to enable me to get my handcrafted jewelry business off the ground. I think I could do everything I need to do with $25,000.00

I need grant money to incorporate my business and get the necessary licensing, supplies [ie; glass, metal findings, chains etc.]  machinery [kiln, grinder etc.]

I also need money to purchase a domain and host for my website that must have a shopping cart program for sales and adequate space for paid advertising.

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Sharon

I Bet You Can't Do It...!

There is no force on earth that will convince me that you have any ability to complete this mission...

The "Mission" in question is as follows -

Can you even come close to believing that there is someone out there who does everything within their power to obtain the goals they have set forth for themselves but run into a brick wall each & every time they try?

I am such person and no matter how diligent I try to be, either my physical lack of ballance or my inability to speak clearly always (100% of the time) hinder my financial progress.

I have a plan and a good goal that I don't believe will turn out the way everything else in my life has since my accident but I just need a few hundred dollars to help me.

I can change my life for just $320 and if you think you could handle that, get in touch with me to find out where you can send it.

This will change many people's lives...!

I'm just a regular man who was born in March of 1977 and I need a little help.

I have a lot of ambition and I work very hard when I have the opportunity to do so.  It's just that I have been stuck in this little, hill-billy town for the past 3 years and I cannot find any kind of gainful employment at all.

It's not that I haven't looked either because I have been to every single store or business in this small town with no success.

So therefore, I plan to start my own business Web site where I can work from my apartment on my home computer but the thing is that I need someone who can help fund the purchase of the site builder so I can build my own site.

The overall purpose of my Web business will be to earn money - of course but the underlying reason will be so I can teach others how to become successful affilliate marketers.

If you decide to help me purchase the program needed to build my site, I will let you know what Web site address I register and you will be able to watch my site's progress on a day by day basis.

Feel free to contact me with a Private Message if you want to help out...!

Single widowed mother of 2

At 33 I never thought I'd loose the man of my dreams but my 2 children and I did last Oct.  My now 13 yr old son and soon to be 4 year old daughter are now fatherless and I am faced with having to take care of them on a veterinary technician salary.  I have lived in FL for 20 years and after everything thats happened this past year we all need a new start in life.  We would like to move to Colorado and I would like to go to school and start my own business which has always been my dream.  My son has some emotional and physical disabilities and require very costly medications.  I am making ends meet, just barely but I had to give up insurance and other things for myself to make sure they have insurance and pay for counseling.  I make just enough money to not qualify for any assistance, but its still not enough because of the debts he left behind that I am paying off.  I would love to be able to go back to school full time to get a business degree to someday be able to support my family on my own.  If any one can help me do that I would be eternally grateful.

Hi, my name is Tom. My wife and I are going through some problems right now, and could use a little help. I have been diagnosed with Myasthinia Gravis last year, and two weeks ago had a small stroke. I am out of work for now. My wife, six months ago was diagnosed with MS. She is working, but its hard. We are two months behind on the mortgage, and one year behind on taxes, along with regular bills. Inmy 53 years, this is the first time I asked for help. I need help until I can get back to work in about one month. I appreciate any help, including prayers. Thanks to all.

Single, low-income mom desperatly looking to better our lives...

Hello,

I am a hard working, low-income single mother who is desperatly trying to better our lives.  As of now my bank account has been over drawn for almost a month and I cannot even begin to make ends meet.  I have been searching daily for a better or a second job with no luck.  My other concern about this is the additional cost of child care, will finding a second job actually be worth it when thinking of the extra money I will have to spend on this?  I feel so stuck right now.  I am also working on a business plan to start a business that I know will be profitable and improve our lives greatly and have enrolled in a debt consolidation program.  The problem is that I have horrible credit and cannot even afford the payments for the debt consolidation.  I do not have poor credit because I am irresponsible, I have poor credit because I have so many medical bills and cannot afford them, only a very small part of what I owe is anything but medical.  I guess what I'm looking for is a second chance, a chance to start over and improve our lives.  My goal is to get my bank account out of the hole, pay off my debt, repair my credit and start my business.  If there are any angels out there that could help, I could sure use one now!  If anyone believes in giving second chances, please consider me.  Any help at all would be a miracle at this point and you have no idea how appreciative I would be!  Thank you so much for taking your time to read this.

I am a single mom with low income seeking grants for various reasons.  I am 31 and am wanting to return to college full time to further my education and career.  I am also like so many other americans and suffer from debt and looking to clean up my debt to gain respectable credit so I may one day be able to buy a home of our own.  I would like to also one day be able to have my own business so after working so hard can have more time and money to support my son.  My son and I would also like to adopt a child so that he may have a sibling, and I can help another child grow up in a loving environment.
