You Work For It…

Everyone wants to know how to make money, whether  rich or poor. Well, there are as many ways to make money as there are people or  sand on the beach. Stop and take a look around you. Go to the supermarket and see how many different products are being sold. Then log onto your computer and go online and see how many products or services being sold there too. Then go on a vacation and see how much money you end up spending on souvenirs. Then check your bank account and see where all your hard-earned money is going: rent, groceries, mortgage, tuition, loans, that new shiny car, you name it. People are selling all sorts of things in this world and people are buying them, and then they’re making money. People are charging rent and they’re making money. They’re offering education and getting money. They’re offering hotel suites and making money. They’re selling shiny cars and making money.

So it’s not really how to make money that people want to know. They want to know, how to make money easily? How to make money fast? Yes, there are ways to make money quickly and easily but it’s not that simple, or there wouldn’t be many people wondering how. You can win the lottery. You can make a youtube video that becomes famous and make money off Google ads or products. These things are possible, but you might not want to count on it. Most things in this world aren’t free. You don’t get things without giving something first. You want to make a lot of profit? You’re going to have to lose some money first, whether it’s through investing or spending on the means you’re going to use to increase the funds coming your way.

You need money to make money. So many people come online and look for the perfect software that automates wealth or push button technology and are willing to believe the lies being told that without thinking will spend 47 dollars on a useless E-book or 97 dollars on some software that really isn’t going to be used. The people taht make money off of people’s greed are the shysters.

Then there are those who make money by informing themselves, investing in products and services that work, promote products or services that provide real value to the market place and put in the sweat and hard work, day in and day out.

It’s not the answer you might want to hear, but making money is probably going to take hard work and time. Success isn’t something that people just fall into. (That would be an inheritance.) People succeed through their hard work and efforts. Don’t depend on those ads that ask for 10 dollars and lead you to believe that you’ll earn 10,000 by the end of the month. Take it into your own hands to make it happen. And use your God given brain too. A good idea can go a long way and manifest itself in millions. Or maybe the solution is right in your midst. Those electronics you don’t use anymore? Sell it. That empty space you have out back? Rent it out. Youtube on your computer? Make a video.

Are you reluctant to dive into the topic of domain name registration, don’t be, because it is an easy process that any person who knows how to use a computer is be able to do.

First of all, what is a domain name? A domain name is a unique spot on the internet that web browsers use to locate websites, consider it an address for your virtual real estate. In other words, without a domain name, you could not locate a website using such names as Google, Amazon or eBay. You would need to know the IP address of these websites, which is a bunch of numbers ( 162.195.21.1) most of which would not make any sense at all. Domain names are thus more descriptive and easier to recognize as opposed to a bunch of numbers with dots between them.

The process of domain name registration starts by locating a registrar. There are hundreds of accredited domain name registrars online and a list of them can be found on www.internic.com/regist.html. Once you locate a registrar, there will be a domain name search tool on their website that you can use to first search for the domain name that you want. The purpose of doing a search is to find out if the domain name is available and if you can purchase it. Assuming that all goes well and you do get the domain name that you want, there are 3 more steps before you can completely claim ownership of the site.

First is to decide the number of years you want the domain name registered for. Different registrars will have their own requirements. Generally a minimum of 1 or 2 years is required. Depending on the purpose of the website and lets assume for our purposes that it is for your affiliate business, use your discretion to determine how long you want to have the domain under your ownership. I recommend 1 year and if things don’t work out you can always not renew and save some money.

The second step is to choose whether you want the domain private or public. Public domain name registration is more convenient but less secure since it exposes your contact details, phone numbers and email address. Private domain name registration on the other hand is more secure but costs more.

The last step in a domain name registration process is to enter your contact information. This includes the owner’s, administrator’s, tech person’s and the billing contacts. In most cases, all these have the same contact information, especially in public domain names. After the checkout process, you are ready to use your domain name after about 48 hours or in some instances immediately. Of course, you will need to build the site, host it and publish it onto a web server before it can be accessible online. That’s a topic for another post.
