The Truth About Making Money Online

Make money online. Internet business opportunity. Autopilot income. Affiliate programs. Home based business opportunities. High yield investment products. Ultimate secrets. Proven systems. Internet millionaire...


A simple search on the internet will turn up tonnes of websites that purport to be able to show you how easy it is to make money off the internet with minimum effort. Majority of them will claim to have enjoyed success and are already enjoying the fruits of their "investment" and will be willing to share their secrets of success with you for a small fee.


Behind all these claims is the reality that making money online is not as easy as it seems. The advent of online advertising channels such as Google Adsense, Adbrite, etc. has definitely made making money online much more feasible but it is still not so simple as sitting down and writing an ebook for sale, making use of Adwords to drive traffic to your website, etc.


The core reason making money online succeeds is high quality content. Yet, high quality content that is put on the internet differs from that which is traditionally published. Online content needs to be properly copywritten so that it gets the attention of search engines and ranks high organically on search results page.

A good copywriter for online content has to consider many factors when structuring and formulating the material. Only with optimised high quality content will the online presence of the content be picked up and eventually lead to returns for the site owner. This is not an easy task and few people have truly mastered the art of doing it.

Making money online is possible but keep an eye out for those who try to potray it as being effortless. Simple logic tells us that if it is truly so effortless, then countless people will already have had become millionaires. Those who potray online money making as easy are trying to make a quick buck from those gullible enough to trust them and pay for their "secret formulae". Content is king and focus on getting content right... Money will follow thereafter.

POSB MySavings Account

Never before have I been so keen to take up a promotion I received via email. Within 30 minutes of receiving the POSB MySavings Account emailer, I was drawn to the flexibility and higher interest rates being offered and submitted my application online for an account. What exactly is it about MySavings Account that is so attractive? For a huge bulk of us, POSB/DBS had remained our main bank because of the legacy of POSB being a people's bank. That implies that much of our cash is lying in standard savings account earning measly 0.25% p.a. interest. MySavings Account actually offers a way out by dangling special interest rates as high as 1.5% per annum, 6 times higher. $50 - $290 : 0.45% $300 - $790 : 1.00% $800 - $1,490 : 1.20% $1,500 - $3,000: 1.50% What's more is that there is flexibility to increase or decrease the monthly savings amount and even amend the monthly savings date anytime. I went for the 2nd tier amount in order to enjoy the 1% interest rate but

Panic Selling, Panic Buying

The worst thing one can do is to sabotage their own financial plans by engaging in the senseless behaviour of panic selling and panic buying. The recent financial turmoil arising from the subprime crisis in the US has unnerved many investors. Just months ago, many investors were still looking at increasing their investments for fear of missing out on the attractive returns that were being dangled by the various well performing stock markets. Why is it that we find it so much easier to invest our money when markets have headed up significantly and find it so difficult to invest our money when markets are depressed and downside is limited? Much research had gone into analysing such investor behaviours and it largely boils down to panic buying and panic selling. When markets are on an uptrend, the good news abound and money appears to be readily available on the tables for anyone willing to reach out for it. Investors are afraid of losing out on pocketing the potential profits with each d

AIA CARDWIZE

Identity theft is a growing problem and that problem gets more acute when much more of our transactions today are done cashlessly using credit cards. AIA has this product named AIA CARDWIZE that is marketed as "keeping your identity safe and secured". The strength of CARDWIZE is that it softens, notice not eliminate, the blow of dealing with identity theft and related losses, covering against additional costs related to the loss, theft or damage of the residence and car keys, and items purchased using credit card. At first look, this appears to be a good product. I had lost my belongings to theft before and while I did not lose much valuables, I ended up spending a bigger sum replacing my identification documents, locks and much time to conduct these administrative procedures. Such a product would have greatly cushioned the impact of that incident. What exactly does the product offer?
