How To Start Your Own Profitable Bartering Club
Bartering is not negotiating! Bartering is “trading” for a service, or for the goods you want. In essence, bartering is simply buying or paying for goods or services using some thing other than money (coins or government printed paper dollars).
Thus defined, bartering has been around much longer than money as we know it today. Recent estimates indicate that at least 60 percent of companies on the New York Stock Exchange use the principles of bartering as a standard business practice. And congressmen barter daily to gain support for their pet projects. U.S. aircraft manufacturers barter with foreign airlines in order to close sales on million dollar contracts. Perhaps you have experienced at one time or another in your life a friend saying, “Okay, that’s one you owe me…” Basically, that’s bartering. Read more

CRITICAL STEPS TO MAINTAINING BUSINESS STATUS WITH THE IRS
By: Sandy Botkin, C.P.A.
So, you finally decided to start your own part-time home business. You have gathered sufficient inventory and equipment to run it. You have a marketing plan of attack to make lots of money, and all you need to do to keep the IRS off your back is save all receipts, right? WRONG!!
One of the IRS’s favorite weapons is to treat a home business as a hobby, not as a legitimate business. Even if you have all the receipts in the world, classification of your endeavor as a hobby will limit your “business” deductions to the income from the activity. If the deductions exceed your activity’s income, the excess is completely eliminated! Read more

Of course, not every blogger is this lucky. It does take some skill, and some luck to make money from blogging.

Doing It For Yourself: How Don Lapre Made Me A Fortune Without Knowing It!
Do you remember Don Lapre? If you watched TV at 3 o’clock in the morning during the 1990s, I’m sure you do. Some people still call him “The King of Infomercials.” In the 90s, he ran many infomercials, night after night, talking about how he became rich by placing “tiny classified ads” out of his one bedroom apartment.

His product also included details on how anyone could easily make loads of cash by operating 1-900 numbers. And, on every infomercial, over and over again, he’d discuss the idea of pulling incredible profits from your very own 1-900 number. Read more
Online Business Opportunities: “They Told Me I Was Supposed to Be Rich, Now I Am Broke!”
There is a saying in the music business that is perhaps one of the most poignant ever created. It is the term “one hit wonder” and it refers to a band that came bursting onto the scene with a single song that made them famous, but then failed to build on that and eventually had to give up the music business because their one stroke of genius was all they had in them. One hit wonders are very common in the music world, almost as common as no hit wonders are in the online marketing world.
If you put together all of the people that have been successful in internet marketing, the gurus would have you believe that these people amount to around 25% of the online internet marketing population. The simple truth of the matter is that the actual figures are for every one person that succeeds in online marketing, over a hundred fail. For every person that gets rich as they were supposed to, one hundred people go broke and end up going back to their everyday jobs. And a lot of people love to blame everything for this failure; the book that they purchased, the membership they joined or anything else that might come across their mind as a good target of opportunity.
