Six Things Entrepreneurs Know That Are Dead Wrong

All true entrepreneurs operate off a set of tenets that are built into their psyche, or drilled into them from training and mentors. These are represented by sayings like “You never get anywhere unless you take a chance” and “Passion and persistence are the keys to success,” Unfortunately, there are still other old, reliable tenets that don’t work anymore.
In a new book by Jeanne Liedtka and Tim Ogilvie from the Columbia Business School, “Designing for Growth,” the authors encourage managers to think more like designers. I assert that designers have a lot in common with entrepreneurs, since both must innovate and start a deep understanding of what their customer really wants (“customer-centered”).
In most other respects, design thinking is the opposite of business thinking. For example, businesses must deal with reality as fixed and quantifiable, whereas design deals with subjective experience and a social constructs. Entrepreneurs need to bridge both these worlds, and the authors outline key business management myths that usually limit startup thinking:
  1. Myth: Think big. There are always pressures to be sure an opportunity is big enough, but most really big solutions began small and built momentum. To seize really new opportunities, it is better to start small and find a deep, underlying human need to connect with. A better maxim for entrepreneurs is: Focus on meeting genuine human needs.
  2. Myth: If the idea is good, then the money will follow. The truth about ideas is that we don’t know if they are good; only customers know that. Entrepreneurs often express surprise at funding challenges, confident that their good idea would attract money on its own merits. In that light, a better maxim for entrepreneurs is: Build the right team and customer need, and funding will follow.
  3. Myth: Measure twice, cut once. This one works fine in an operations setting, but when it comes to creating the as-yet-unseen future of a startup, there isn’t much to measure. Spending time trying to measure the immeasurable offers temporary comfort but does little to reduce risk. A better maxim for entrepreneurs is: Place small bets fast.
  4. Myth: Be bold and decisive. In the past, business cultures have been dominated by competition metaphors (sports and war being the most popular). Organic growth, by contrast, requires a lot of nurturing, intuition, and a tolerance for uncertainty. Placing bold bets falls well short of the new entrepreneurial maxim: Explore multiple options.
  5. Myth: Don’t ask a question you don’t know the answer to. This one is borrowed from trial lawyers, and it traveled into business because it always seems less risky to look smart. Unfortunately, new opportunities do not yield easily to leading questions and preconceived solutions. A better maxim for entrepreneurs is: Start in the unknown.
  6. Myth: Sell your solution. If you don’t believe in it, no one will. When you are trying to create the future, it is difficult to know when you have it right. The key is to be absolutely certain you have focused on a worthy problem. You’ll iterate your way to a workable solution in due time. Follow two maxims here: Choose a worthwhile customer problem. Let others validate.
There are many other design-thinking principles that entrepreneurs need to heed, such as the fact that products and services are bought by human beings, not target markets segmented into demographic categories. Great designs, as well as great products, grab customers at an emotional level first, then at the economic level.
Exemplified by Apple, and the success of their elegant products, design-thinking is proving to be more and more the competitive edge for entrepreneurs. This is not to say that sound business principles should be ignored in your next startup. The challenge for every entrepreneur, is to find that right balance between the myths and reality of business, and the power and inspiration of an innovative design.


Basic Concepts of Digital Microwave

Microwave is electromagnetic wave with frequency from 300MHz to 300GHz and it is a finite frequency band of the entire electromagnetic wave spectrum. According to the microwave transmission feature, microwave can be viewed as plane wave. Along the transmission direction, the plane wave has no
longitudinal components of electric field and magnetic field. Both electric field and magnetic field are vertical to the transmission direction. Thus, the plane wave is called transverse electromagnetic wave and marked as TEM wave. For the application of each frequency band in the microwave spectrum, see figure
1.1.
Figure
Figure 1.1 application of each frequency band in the microwave spectrum
In figure 1.1, VHF and LF are ground wave which is very capable of diffraction and can diffract hundreds of kilometers; they are mainly used in radio and navigation. MF is used in broadcast and is less capable of diffraction than VHF and LF. HF is not ground wave, and it is reflected to the ionosphere. VHF and
UHF are used in TV. Though UHF is used in TV, (that is, the microwave is involved) it is not called microwave. After the microwave, it is optical wave which is also a type of electromagnetic wave. Digital microwave communication refers to a type of communication mode which uses microwave (frequency) to carry digital information through the electric wave space, transmit independent information and conduct
regeneration. Microwave is weak in diffraction and it is only line-of-sight communication, therefore, it has a limited transmission distance. In long-distance transmission, relay is needed to connect sites. Thus, it is called
microwave relay communication.

Microwave communication uses microwave as the carrier of signals, which issimilar to optical fiber communication that uses light as the carrier of signals. Simply speaking, transmitting module and optoelectronic inspection module used for receiving in the optical fiber transmission system are similar to the
transmitting and receiving antenna. Compared with the optical fiber communication with wire channels, microwave channel is wireless and microwave communication is much more complicated.

ATM Machine in Cambodia


 

Cambodia runs on US Dollars, thus the ATM machines dispense USD (although there are some where you can choose to have Khmer riels, but they are almost useless for tourists). US Dollar bills cannot have any marks, tears, or signs of wear. As for Khmer riels, they can be dirty and marked to the point you hardly recognize the value…
Since 2005, the ATM network has steadily increased. ACLEDA Bank has the most extensive network, with ATMs across the country and even in the smallest of places. ATMs of ANZ/Royal Bank are concentrated in the capital Phnom Penh and in tourist places like Siem Reap and Sihanoukville.
Here you find a complete list of ATM machines in Cambodia, ordered by bank and province. All banks charge a fee for international ATM withdrawals, varying from two to four US Dollars per transaction.

The Road to Recovering One's True Self

Last week we explored some of the symptoms of a developing 'midlife crisis,' and I suggested another way of viewing such a crisis as a 'crisis of meaning.'

So what can you do when you lose your sense of self and purpose?

What is the road to recovering your true Self?

It starts by recognizing that you've been living a 'case of mistaken identity.'

============
You Aren't Who You've Thought You Were
============

The first step along the road to recovering your true Self is to recognize that you're not who you've thought you were.

It's like you've gone through all your life thinking you were Bobbie Jones, the child of Mary and Bob Jones, then you find out on your sixteenth birthday that your real name is Dale Smith, and your parents are Cindy and Carl.

But, in truth, the case of mistaken identity you've been living is even more dramatic than that. The you you've come to know is made up of the 'molecules of meaning' that you ascribed to things that happened to you in your early, formative years during times when you felt threatened or unsafe.

They may have been severely traumatic, like the loss of a parent, or milder, like someone repeatedly telling you that you'd never amount to anything.

In the Life On Purpose Process we identify this as the Inherited Purpose -- the fear and lack-based lie you've been telling yourself about yourself and about life for so long that you've come to believe it to be true.

In other words, you've identified yourself as this lie and have gone about enrolling others to relate to you in this way.

==========
Recognizing the Lie
==========

The good news -- it's not the truth -- it's a lie.

What gives this lie so much power in shaping your life is that you've thought it was the truth.

It's simply who you are, or more accurately, it's who you've considered yourself to be. So it operates quietly in the background of your awareness shaping your decisions, choices and actions.

But when you begin to identify it for what it is, you pull it to the foreground of your consciousness and can then choose whether to allow it to shape your life or not.

(The process of identifying your unique Inherited Purpose is covered in depth starting on page 107 of the book, Life On Purpose: Six Passages to an Inspired Life.)

As we begin to recognize the Inherited Purpose for the lie it is, the natural question that arises next is, "If that's not who I am, then who am I really?" And that begins the next leg of this journey....which we will continue on next week.

In the meantime remember that each person has their own unique Inherited Purpose because we each had a unique set of circumstances in our early childhood years, and we unconsciously ascribed meaning to them.

While uncovering the Inherited Purpose can often feel like trying to look at the back of your head without a mirror, (try that now, but don't give yourself whiplash), here are a few questions to get you started:

1. What are the earliest memories you had of a time or times when you felt unsafe or threatened? (Example - I remember when my father 'saved' me from a large snake when I was 3-4 years old.)

2. What happened? (Example - I was sitting out in the driveway 'building' an airplane out of sticks. I saw another stick out of the corner of my eye, and went to pick it up. Just as I was about to touch it, I looked over and saw it was a large black snake that had slithered out of the garden. I screamed bloody murder. My dad ran outside and drove the snake away.

3. Think back to what meaning you ascribed to what happened? (Example - My dad is superman and my hero, and I'll never be as strong and brave as he is. Also, it's a dangerous world out there.)

The 7 Master Secrets of the Rich Mind Life Strategy

By Dr. Robert Anthony
Creator of Rich Mind Life Strategy

The Rich Mind Life Strategy is a scientifically provable strategy that does not require you to take a blind leap of faith for it to work. When you apply the combined principles contained in the Seven Master Secrets - along with some ongoing training and mentoring, you cannot fail to attract whatever you desire...

So settle back, and let me take you on a journey through the Seven Master Secrets - and how they can transform your life and the results you create in everything you do...

Master Secret #1: "Master the flow"

This is the one secret most responsible for all the wealth, riches, and happiness ever created throughout all of history...

Being in the flow is the ultimate master secret of the Rich Mind Life Strategy - and it delivers the ultimate rewards...

When you have "mastered the flow", you will know how to align yourself with all the riches you desire by living in a state of ease instead of a state of resistance - which is characterized by fear, doubt, and worry.

You will experience life with a natural ease and grace - and you will find the precise people, circumstances and events lining up and attracting to you that which you most desire...

Everything will flow into your life without constant and undue effort, and there will be absolutely no need to struggle. You'll discover life IS NOT a series of obstacles placed in the way of what you desire.

When you step out of the flow - by believing the illusion that the flow does not exist for you - your life becomes a series of never ending problems and obstacles.

So how do you master the flow?

Throughout the Rich Mind Life Strategy program, you will:

    * Discover how being "in-the-flow" will not only deliver to you a continual flow of money and riches - but also give you total freedom from the negative habits that keep everybody else out-of-the-flow...

    * Experience the electrifying feeling of being in total alignment - where your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions all act in concert to deliver to you precisely what you desire - money, wealth, and riches in health, relationships, and life...

    * Discover the two states of being that ancient to modern teachings, and almost every belief system agree are responsible for creating the optimal state for attracting physical and spiritual riches into your life...

    * Discover the deepest and most profound secrets to having deliberate creation, synchronicity, and intuition work for you - at all times guiding you toward the things you desire and away from that which you no longer want to be a part of your life...

The truth is, we all have a hyper-vigilance - "yeah, right" - sabotaging voice in our heads - that does not want us to experience the flow. It is only interested in stopping our success and maintaining the status quo.

THE FLOW really is the most anti-discriminatory force in the universe... No matter what your age, color of your skin, where you live, how much money you do or don't have - it is available to you - as long as you consent to it...

Master Secret #2: Connect to the "U.P.M."

The greatest source of creativity, inspiration and personal power available to each and every one of us...

The "U.P.M." is both your inner-guidance system, and the universal source of power from which you and everybody draws strength and power...

It operates in everybody's lives, and it has been discussed over the ages by almost all religions, philosophical thinkers, and also scientists...

When you are in alignment with the "U.P.M.", everything comes to you easily and effortlessly. This connection creates an unstoppable flow...

The Rich Mind Life Strategy program demonstrates how the "U.P.M." works, how it delivers an endless flow of benefits to you, and also provides a definite process that will ensure you always remain in alignment with it.

You will also discover:

    * How to unlock your unlimited creative powers which lie dormant within you is actually the one thing ancient writings, various religious texts, science, quantum physics and evolutionary cosmology all agree upon - the big picture will be revealed to you...

    * Why most people feel cut off from inspiration, synchronicity and divine guidance most of the time - the Rich Mind Life Strategy 74-point checklist and assessment will instantly pinpoint the trigger points and blocks that are keeping the natural flow of money, wealth and riches from sweeping over your life...

    * The science behind the world of struggle, pain and frustration - and why it occurs... when you understand the science, you'll understand how to erase it from your life forever...

Einstein through his scientific discoveries educated the world that E = Mc2 - energy ties together the fabric of the universe... less understood is that every individual, including YOU is part of that equation... when you unlock the equation your power to create riches expands exponentially...

Master Secret #3: Create by design instead of by default...

Move into a realm beyond the Law of Attraction...

Did you ever think there might be an element of truth to the cliches:

"What goes around comes around"...

"The rich get richer while the poor get poorer"...

"Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it"...

Have you ever noticed that whatever you hold in your mind with energy and focus becomes your reality … whether it be negative or positive, if you focus on it and give it emotional energy, it manifests itself in your life...

And if there is something you struggle against... it just seems to come back to you in droves (rather than leaving)... In fact, the more you resist, the more you attract that which you don’t want...

These are all examples of the Law of Attraction in action, which is the Master Secret #3 of the Rich Mind Life Strategy.

The Law of Attraction states that whatever you focus on - you will get. Notice I said what you focus on. I did not say what you want or need or desire. If you are focused on the fact that you do not have enough money, if you are constantly worrying about it and thinking about it... then that is your dominant thought and focus.

The Law of Attraction … whatever you focus most of the time you get…

Thus, if you change your point of focus, your thoughts and your dominant emotions, you have taken the first step toward changing your results.

But you will never really benefit from such universal laws until you know how to release struggle in your life. The critical importance of this is covered in Master Secret #4...

Master Secret #4: Release struggle...

"Give up the fight - and let the wins come to you automatically"...

Would you like to replace fear, doubt and worry in your life with ease, joy and abundance? When you discover how to release struggle, you can... and Master Secret #4 is all about letting go of resistance - releasing the struggle...

Resistance is a force that tends to oppose or retard motion. Anything you resist, you feed and give energy and life and power to...

But when you are unattached... when there is no fear-based need, when you release judgment about outcomes and just allow... your life will take a dramatic turn.

The Rich Mind Life Strategy Master Secret #4 gives you a step-by-step process for releasing your unconscious habitual patterns that are holding you back.

In addition, you will understand:

    * The secret and innermost working mechanics of how "releasing struggle" will result in your being automatically guided to the right people, circumstances and conditions that are in alignment with your desires...
    * The war that goes on within you everyday between resistance and desire - why it ALWAYS produces mixed results - and how to overcome it for immediate payoffs personally, emotionally, and financially...
    * A beginners guide to the act of letting go - why hitting rock bottom almost always guarantees a major new upswing - but how you can avoid ever having to go down that far before you pull yourself back up...

And once you have released struggle, you can then move into the super conscious creation mode...

Master Secret #5: Move into super conscious creation mode...

Most people do not realize that there are different levels of conscious awareness - and precise steps you can take to move yourself up the ladder of awareness...

At the lowest levels of awareness, everything is hopeless, we are powerless, we are very distrusting and the focus is purely on day-to-day survival.

At the highest levels of awareness we have great personal power, we know about the flow and can direct it, we are free from struggle and synchronicity and intuition serve our best interests at all times...

In the Rich Mind Life Strategy program, we will lay out for you a journey. Starting from where you stand today, moving up through greater and greater levels of awareness.

In essence, you will have a roadmap... And from that roadmap you will discover:

    * How almost everybody lives under an unconscious "trance of struggle" - discover the five root causes of your individualized "trance profile" and how to counter their "rose-colored glasses" effect on how you process and thus profitably use information...

    * The five levels of awareness that directly affect the volume and intensity of the flow of money, wealth and riches that come to you... pinpoint where you fall on the scale, and precisely what to do to raise yourself to a higher level...

    * The precise steps to take that lead to greater awareness - which lead to greater personal power, being able to sense and direct the flow, and synchronicity and intuition that attract to you an unending amount of wealth and riches...

We also reveal the recently discovered invisible mind viruses that have kept everyone at lower levels of awareness all of our lives - and how this scientific discovery and understanding will allow you to easily nullify their limiting effect...

Master Secret #6: Dissolve Personality Filter flow blockers...

In a world where you must interact with others, your precise personality DNA will pinpoint exactly how to attract the maximum money, wealth and riches...

Here is a startling realization... as human beings we are anatomically the same but we are NOT wired the same inside... And no matter how much knowledge you have, and despite all the best intentions in the world... you will at times sabotage yourself in non-conscious ways - thanks to your personality filter "flow blockers"...

Each of us filters information and reacts to the world through a lens of perception called a personality filter, or our personality DNA. Because this is the way that you have always seen the world, you are often unaware that it is a perception unique to yourself.

It is so ingrained it has become transparent to you...

Developed as a result of genetic predisposition, early childhood environment and reinforced through your experiences and self-talk - your personality filter or DNA can create many problems in your interaction with others - and in how you perceive information.

This also explains why most self-development courses don't work - they speak to a common denominator – a sort of average type. But in reality there is no average person - each has their own individual personality filter or DNA.

And here is something to consider - since almost anything you want to achieve in life involves interaction with other individuals, understanding their personality DNA becomes enormously beneficial...

It can mean the difference between communication breakdowns and breakups... or insanely successful business ventures or intimate and enduring personal relationships... the difference between frustration, disappointment and bewilderment... or riches and happiness in all areas of your life...

The final Master Secret of the Rich Mind Life Strategy program is so powerful, it can boost your career, your rate of achievement, and your financial success more than all the self-development and money making material you have been exposed to in an entire lifetime...

Master Secret #7 is a revolutionary scientific breakthrough in the understanding of human behavior and the creation of success...

Master Secret #7: Check your "T.A.N."

A scientific solution to the problem of never being able to follow-through and finish what you started...

No willpower, self-discipline or character required...

Would you like to finally understand why you never seem to be able to follow through - long term - on your good intentions, new projects or personal changes?

Would you like to know how to instantly put yourself in a state where you will move on projects without hesitation and with more than 100-times the energy than you have ever felt before?

Master Secret #7 - ALONE - is a whole program and course in and of itself. A scientifically proven process for overcoming the biggest obstacle to success - whether it be on the personal level, business and company-wide, or even of nations and mankind as a whole...

That is the issue of FOLLOWING THROUGH...

Thankfully, research has uncovered the key reason why we don't follow through - and a scientifically proven process - including proprietary software - have been developed to overcome the follow through issue...

Master Secret #7 will reveal to you:

    * A new scientific discovery that delivers a "shocking relief" ... your inability to "stick with it" and follow through on plans and projects has nothing to do with your willpower, self-discipline or character...

    * A foolproof way to finishing anything you start... this scientific method not only reduces stress and anxiety, but gives you renewed energy and motivation to deliver results that will rock your world...

    * A fresh new approach and process for goal planning that is easy, natural, and will deliver astounding results, but with no struggle or strain on your part at all...

Here's the deal... research has show we have a "flawed" dual-control but conflicting control system in the brain... The Rich Mind Life Strategy program demonstrates the reality of the "control system" we are working with on our shoulders...

...and also provides a systematic solution to overcome it's limitations. Called the T.A.N. Move System, it is a neuro-device for programming and retraining your brain.

The T.A.N. Move System will assist you in forming new habits and neural pathways in your brain... This "Mind Switching Tool" is extremely effective when you marry it up with the pursuit of your core desires in life...

With the T.A.N. Move System you will:

    * Discover the key strategy and 5-step process for overcoming the "flawed" dual-control system in your brain - just watch your productivity soar and your wealth attraction factor go off the charts...

    * Discover a proven 2-step method for ramping up your drive, motivation, and energy toward the very activities and actions that will bring you the results you most desire in your life...

    * How one simple, quick and powerful technique will have you blasting through inertia and procrastination to achieve far more in a day than you previously did in a week or even a month...

And would you like to get rid of personal "demons" and bad habits lurking in your closet? Rich Mind Life Strategy provides an easy to implement strategy that will definitely do the trick...

We also reveal three quick-fix techniques you can use when you feel that you are "out-of-the-flow" - these will put you back in alignment within the space of a few seconds...

And this may come as a complete shock - but it is scientific fact that you can NEVER control the outcome of your goals - however, when you focus solely on the two things you can control - you will smash open floodgates to a massive flow of wealth and riches...

Dr. Robert Anthony is the author of 15 books including the million copy best sellers "The Ultimate Secrets of Total Self Confidence" and "Advanced Formula for Total Success". His latest creation is the comprehensive life-changing program, Rich Mind Life Strategy.

What is WiMAX?

WiMAX is a telecommunications technology that can transmit wireless data over 500 times further than the leading WiFi networks, while maintaining speeds at par with DSL and Cable. This innovative technology has the potential to revamp broadband Internet access in the same way that cell phones have forever altered the use of phone access. For these reasons, WiMAX is sometimes referred to as WiFi on Steroids. WiMAX, which stands for the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, has the ability to exchange information on multiple machines using radio waves that are transmitted from WiMAX base stations.
WiMAX is based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 standard, which defines the technical features of the communications protocol, and is also known as Broadband Wireless Access and as a

Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WirelessMAN). Current WiFi networks operate on the 802.11 standard, which reach a maximum range of about 300 feet and a speed of up to 54 Mbps. However, the 802.16 standard can extend to a 30-mile radius with wireless data transmitting up to 70 Mbps. With this significant increase in range and speed, WiMAX has the potential to extend the connectivity bubble over many remote areas that have never before had Internet connectivity.

The WiMAX network is deployed through a complex matrix of transmitting stations. The Internet Service Providers send information to WiMAX towers through a variety of technologies including fiber optic cables and microwaves links, with both line-of sight and non line-of sight transmissions. Similar to cell phone towers,

WiMAX towers can provide coverage up to 3,000 square miles. On the user end, the WiMAX receivers are typically in the form of PCMCIA cards or are embedded into a wireless device and they operate similar to the way one would connect to a WiFi network with a laptop, smart phone, or other similar devices.
The bandwidth and reach of the WiMAX technology can have a major impact on several practical applications.

Before the WiMAX solution, telecommunication industries had to run millions of wires to reach all their vendors in what they call the last mile, or the last stage of delivering connectivity to the customer. This process was tedious and expensive. With the advent of the wireless WiMAX network, the gap has narrowed between the communication providers and their consumers, in a simple, cost-effective way that avoids the need for an extensive labyrinth of cabling.

Additionally, WiMAX services can speed up and seam the transition of hotspot and cellular backhaul, whereby the wireless signals are transmitted back to the hardwired telecommunication systems. It can also provide a diverse source of Internet connectivity as part of a business continuity plan. That is, if a business has a fixed and a wireless Internet connection, especially from unrelated providers, they are unlikely to be affected by the same service outage. Furthermore, the WiMAX wireless broadband connection can provide high-speed data and telecommunication services for both stationary and nomadic WiMAX-ready devices without signing up with a wireless carrier. This gives users the freedom to choice where and how they connect to the Internet like never before. WiMAX provides a truly groundbreaking technology that significantly raises the bar on telecommunications and opens up a world of possibilities for expanding the digital world.
By, Ben Feldman

What is 4G ?

Although the term 4G has been tossed around a lot in relation to WiMAX, the reality is that the International

Telecommunications Union has not yet to define what 4G actually means. According to most telecommunication professionals, the main technologies that are associated with this position include WiMAX, Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB).

To better understand the nature of the players involved in so-called 4G technologies, Wikipedia provides some helpful definitions for LTE and UMB (for a definition of WiMAX, see above)

Ultra Mobile Broadband : An ultra fast technology that supports more than an order of magnitude increase in broadband data throughput rates to economically deliver IP-based voice, multimedia, broadband, information technology, entertainment, and consumer electronic services within most kinds of devices. A platform that supports several wireless services within a full mobility environment and thus differentiates itself from Wi-Fi, WiMAX, UWB, etc. Ultra high-speeds that are in the order of 100s of megabits per second; next-generation capabilities, beyond 3G.

Long Term Evolution : 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the name given to a project within the Third Generation Partnership Project to improve the UMTS mobile phone standard to cope with future requirements.

Goals include improving efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum opportunities, and better integration with other open standards. The LTE project is not a standard, but it will result in the new evolved release 8 of the UMTS standard, including mostly or wholly extensions and modifications of the UMTS system.

How To Make Money Online

Fifteen billion smackers: That's the value Microsoft recently slapped on Facebook when the computer giant invested $240 million for a 1.6% stake in Mark Zuckerberg's online social-networking site.
You could seethe with envy--or you could chase your own fortune on the Web.

Some online businesses require only a few hundred dollars in equipment, while others demand significant hardware and perhaps even a warehouse. Some might make you rich; others might just cover beer money. And all involve various levels of time, capital and technological skill.
In Pictures: Eight Ways To Make Money Online

"Some people have dreamed about owning their own business and have not followed through because of the investment in resources," says Jim Griffith, head of eBay University, for those aiming to set up shop selling goods at the online auctioneer's site. "The Internet allows people to at least try without making a large initial investment."

Army veteran Brandi Ramos of Springfield, Ill., did it. As a single mom in need of extra income, she started her online retail career peddling "big and tall" men's clothing on eBay.

Three years later, Ramos, 32, makes a good living working online out of her 600-square-foot basement packed with hanging displays and baker's racks piled with tupperware containing underwear and belts. Ramos aims to offer quick service, answering all e-mails within four to six hours. She claims to net $25,000 on $100,000 sales a year, and even earns a few bucks per order on shipping.

If managing inventory seems too big a chore, play virtual landlord and charge other retailers monthly fees (or per-transaction fees) for the opportunity to market their products on your site. Amazon.com (nasdaq: AMZN - news - people ) nabbed 28% of its revenues this way in 2006.

Craigslist is another take on this model: The 25-person company, worth a reported $2 billion, charges businesses to post help wanted ads in San Francisco, New York and L.A.; it also collects fees for apartment listings in New York City. Total page views per month: about 5 billion.

Then there's every pajama-clad blogger's dream: producing content supported by advertising dollars. Selling advertising is how thousands of established online media outlets pay their electric bills. They charge advertisers two ways: by the number of overall Web pages (called "impressions") served up, and by the number of people who click on the ads.

Setting up a blog requires not much more than a basic publishing program, a server and software to track ad clicks. The hard part, though, is attracting enough eyeballs to make it worth someone's while to pay to advertise on your site.

To have any prayer of attracting large advertisers, sites need to attract at least 500,000 unique visitors per month, says David Hauslaib, publisher of Jossip.com, a media and gossip blog that counts Coca Cola (nyse: KO - news - people ) and Sketchers among its advertisers. Sadly, even if you do generate enough traffic, the "click-through" rates on ads tend to be quite low--in the neighborhood of one half of 1%.

Subscription-based models are even harder to crack. Unless your site fulfills an urgent need (for tangible investment ideas, a potential mate, etc.), users aren't likely to pay for the content.

One way to garner subscription revenue is to run a virtual marketplace. These sites collect by allowing buyers and sellers easy access to each other. Many of these marketplaces flamed out in the dot-com bust, but some persist. Mfg.com, for instance, matches equipment manufacturers with smaller component suppliers. Dating sites like Match.com charge subscription fees for access to their members. And H2Bid.com links municipalities with wastewater-equipment vendors.

As with tangible real estate, you can buy virtual plots (URL addresses), flip them and make a buck.

GoDaddy.com sells unused domain names for under $10 dollars apiece. To attract buyers, run tests to determine how often certain key words are searched so that you can demonstrate the likelihood that your URL will show up in a Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) or Yahoo! (nasdaq: YHOO - news - people ) search. One tip: The best domain names are short, sweet, specific and easy to remember. (For more on this model, check out "Meet Noah Of The Internet" and "The Most Expensive Web Addresses.")
As Internet usage grows, so too will the sophistication of online business models. Take 3-year-old

Yoonew.com, which sells futures contracts on sports tickets.
Fans buy the right to take delivery of tickets if their teams make it to a coveted playoff game, perhaps months away. Given the uncertainty of the bet, those contracts sell for a fraction of the future market value of the underlying tickets. If your team makes it to the big game, you've locked in a cheap seat; if it falls short, you lose that insurance premium.

Yoonew makes money when the revenue it collects from selling all those contracts exceeds the cost of delivering a small number of very expensive tickets on game days. The danger: If ticket prices spike, or there are no seats available, the company could suffer a loss or alienate its customers.
Sure, you can make money online. But no one said it was easy.

How to Make Money Fast

Need a little extra cash in a hurry? Follow these steps and you're bound to have a fuller pocket by the end of the week. It may not be much, and it may not be reliable, but your options are limited if you're short on time. Later, you can read up on long-term ways to make money, reducing expenses, saving, and investing. Otherwise, hurry up and follow these steps so you can make money ASAP!

Step:

  1. Consider day labor. There are employment agencies that specialize in this type of arrangement, and you can get paid at the end of the workday. The jobs you find through an agency can vary, but are usually in construction, factories, offices, and manufacturing. An alternative to finding day labor is to go where other day laborers meet (usually street corners or parking lots) and wait for employers (building contractors, landscapers, home owners and small business owners). If you go the non-agency route, you might get paid in cash. You can also check your local newspaper or internet classifieds to find quick labor gigs, like painting, mowing, or moving work. When considering a day labor opportunity, keep in mind that less formal arrangements could result in you not getting paid or worse, you getting injured without any kind of compensation.
  2. Sell something. Dig out that old guitar you never play, those CDs you don't listen to anymore, or your antique toy collection. Go to the pawnshop, put an ad on local internet classifieds, or hold a yard sale in front of your house or on a busy street corner (just display the item with a big sign announcing the ridiculously low price). Price items at half of what somebody would be able to buy them for anywhere else, and you may be able to sell them within an hour or two. You can also sell items online at web sites like eBay, Amazon and Craig`s list.Or sell something you made.
  3. Become a street performer. If you can dance, play music, or tell jokes, you can probably get some cash by performing in public. But don't do this unless you are actually good at it. Put together a good act and find a place to perform. Give people a dose of live entertainment, and hopefully they'll reward you with tips
  4. Panhandle. A panhandler is a person who depends on the spontaneous charity of strangers for their survival. If you really need the cash, you might swallow your pride and decide to ask for help. Make a sign, find a good location, ask politely for money, and say thank you. Cyberbegging is becoming increasingly popular, and there have been some amazing success stories, but these are the exception rather than the rule. While there are some sites on which you can beg just by putting up a brief ad, if you're looking to make any substantial money you'll probably have to build your own site and invest the time and money into it to make it successful.
  5. "Donate" plasma. Plasma is a component of blood, and the process is similar to donating blood. You're not permitted to actually sell your plasma, but you can be compensated for your time spent donating (and essentially, it's like selling your plasma). Your blood is drawn, the plasma is separated, and the red blood cells are returned to your body. You can make US$20-30 per visit and give plasma twice a week, but you must weigh at least 110 pounds, be between the ages of 18 and 59, and be in good health.[1] Many college students do this to make extra cash.[2] If you haven't been to the doctor in a while, this may be a good way to get a free health checkup
  6. Recycle. Broke because you bought too much soda? Turn the old cans into cash by bringing them in to be recycled. If you don't have your own cans, go looking for them in trash cans or along busy roads, especially rural roads. Call up several recyclers to compare prices. If you live in a state with a bottle or can deposit system, you may be able to get 5 or 10 US cents per container. Other scrap metals are also worth something, so if you've got a big pile of scrap in your backyard or you know of an illegal dumpsite, you can pick it up in your truck and anywhere from 1 or 2 cents per pound for scrap steel to considerably more for metals such as copper or aluminum.[4]
  7. Open a lemonade stand. Especially if you're a kid, a lemonade stand or baked goods stand can bring in good money in one day. If the lemonade isn't selling, or you want to diversify, sell cookies and brownies as well. The important thing here is to find a good location, like the main entrance to an apartment building, outside a shopping center, on a busy corner near your house, or outside one of your parents’ workplaces (if you're a kid; otherwise you might get in trouble).
  8. Enter sweepstakes. By choosing sweepstakes carefully, you can increase your likelihood of hitting the jackpot (or at least getting a few useful freebies that you can sell, as mentioned above). Search the internet-- there are even internet databases, some free and some by subscription only, that can clue you in to hundreds or thousands of sweepstakes. Sweepstakes with smaller prizes can be great because you generally have a more realistic chance of winning. Don't, however, waste your time entering a sweepstakes for a prize you don't want and can't easily sell for a good profit. Enter as many times as possible. The more times you enter, the better your odds. It's as simple as that. Before you send in a million entries, however, make sure you know how many entries the rules allow you.
  9. Become a moving advertisement. Creative marketing companies might be willing to pay you to get their name out there. Some interesting strategies that people have gotten paid for:
     
     
    • Turning their car into a moving advertisement; there are companies with bumper sticker programs as well.
    • Wearing t-shirts, clothes, costumes that advertise a business.
    • Temporary tattoos on the forehead, a pregnant belly, and other parts of the body
  10. Finally, if you're desperate, look by the laundry room! Often, people will leave everything in their pockets, and it'll come out when it's washing/drying, or it'll fall when you take it out of the washer/dryer.
Warning
  • Make sure that whatever you're doing does not violate any local laws or regulations.
  • If going the day laborer route, keep in mind that there is animus against these types of workers, i.e. illegal aliens.
  • If you are going to sell something, make sure that the price isn't too high or else no one will buy it. Also, make sure that it isn't too low, or else you won't be able to make a lot of money (an exception to this is if you are seriously desperate). For example, a cup of lemonade would be too expensive at $2.00, but if you slash that price into quarters (about $1.00), it would be reasonable.
  • ONLY do this at your house. Not at your friends', and not at the laundromat. However, if you find an insignificant amount of money at the laundromat, that you still want, if no one seems to have just dropped it or is looking for it, then it's probably okay. (Insignificant=$1 or $2.) Also, if you're at your parents house, please don't take more than $10-$20 from the laundry room. Your parents pay bills! Money is very important in these times, and not just for that GREAT peach lip gloss that all your friends have!
