World Crisis and its effects on the Internet

We are all aware of the current world crisis, and we always watch the news to find out the recent changes in economy. All we hear it's economical slowdown, bankruptcies, panic and so on.
But will this crisis also affect the Internet Business? Is there something to worry about?
Well since business is all about money, and money is related to banks we all must be more careful.

Nowadays many of the persons made redundant try to find different income sources. Some of them try to make money online. That's why I expect in the near future that the number of Internet business will increase considerably. Like in any business many of them will fail. However Internet is and will be a very attractive place for businesses. The market on Internet grows more than 50% a year so even if the crisis will reach it, won't kill it.

If you want to start making money online, don't waste time thinking about the crisis. Don't think that the timing is bad or the risks are big - just take some action!
There are a lot of ways to make money online, many of them don't require any investments or very few. All you need to do is to think smart, always be informed of the making money opportunities, read success stories and choose what's fit for you. If it's about online payments be careful about the partners you choose. Sometimes even the most reliable of them can fail. So before making payments make sure that the banks involved are also reliable. Don't keep too much money on your PayPal, AlertPay etc accounts.
Be careful but don't be afraid of risks or failures. We learn from failures and they help us to improve. Good luck!

Very important for beginner bloggers!

While I was surfing the net, my attention was caught by "I make money online by telling people how I make money online". It was about www.johnchow.com.
His site helps people make money with their blogs or sites. He also offers a free e-book that it's like a guide for those who want to make money online but don't know how. I read his book and began to follow some advice and it already showed results.
What I like about his book is that it's very simple to understand and gives practical advice. He writes about often mistakes made by bloggers and also about what you need know and to do for being a successful blogger.
I'm not completely new in this area but I realized I have made some big mistakes before. Now I'm working on them and hopefully this blog will be more successful than my other blogs.
My favorite part of the book is Chapter 2: Recommended Money-makers. Based on his personal experience he writes a list of recommended add networks and affiliate programs for making money online that he tried and showed good results.

You should pay him a visit and I recommend you to read his book. It's always good to learn from successful people.

My dream house

I have many goals in life. One of them is having my own house and a wonderful garden. Now I live in town now and sometimes I'm bothered by all the rush and noise. I dream of having my piece of heaven. A quite, relaxing place with fresh air and surrounded by nature.... what could be better than that.
So lately I began searching the net for home plans and house projects. This was supposed to help me make up my mind about what kind of house I want. It didn't! It only confused me more!
Well I want a small to medium house, 1-2 stories with attic, large windows, north-european style... and so on.
I've seen more that a 1000 plans and still haven't made up my mind. I have chosen some favorites and here they are.


This is a nice one, but still not what I really want. I don't like the windows. I want them to be larger. I'm planing of growing many plants so I need a lot of sunlight and space. I also don't really like rounded shapes of the windows and that rounded thing on the roof. It's a cute, nice little house anyway.


I like this one too. What I like about it is that she has most of the elements I'm looking for. Nice roof shape. But there is some work to do with those rounded shapes, even though they don't bother me as much as in the first case. The balconies are fit for many plants. However I still have the feeling that something is missing.


A totally different style, but this house attracts me in some way. Could it be the balconies? Or it's because there are no rounded shapes in sight? I don't know.
In this case I don't like the roof and I prefer larger windows. The wooden door for the garage is bothering me...

I actually never thought it would be so complicated to choose the perfect house. The architect I'll choose for my house project won't have a easy job, I think ;)
Until then I must decide what I really want.

Anyway, I must work hard to raise money for it first;)

Day 2

So far so good!
My Google AdSense account was approved. Now it's working and I'm waiting for visitors.
It took a while and it was a little confusing with the html codes but I hope is worth it!

I also started using Amazon Associates. It's much easier to set up compared to AdSense so I'm very satisfied. I used Omakase "Leave it up to us!". You don't have to do almost anything, all the job is done by Omakase.

Now I'm searching for some good programs that will attract more visitors. I tried some like SubmitWolf but I don't see any results. I'm also thinking about XRumer. Do you have any other suggestions?

Did any of you opened an Amazon Store? It might be a good ideea. But first of all I should be working on improving my site. Otherwise it's useless.
Write me if you have any other good ideas or advice!

Blog release!

Today while I was reading a magazine I found an article about a guy that made money on the Internet for a flat. I have heard stories like that before but now I was surprised that it's also possible in Moldova. He followed the example of two other persons from Moscow and Kiev. I might be skeptical about this but it's challenging and I think it's worth giving a try ;)

Where should I start from?

First of all I'll set up my goal: I'm planning to use my brains wisely and make enough money for the house of my dreams.

And now let's get to the point. I'll follow that guy's example and my first attempt of making money online will be Google AdSence.
If any of you might have tried this before please share your impressions.

I promise myself not to give up easily and do my best in everything! Wish me luck! ;)
