(FORTUNE Magazine) – It's not surprising that a city that regards T-shirts and sneakers with the same suspicion as sleeping late on a weekday should be home to some of the world's finest tailors. And though many of Hong Kong's movers and shakers now tend to prefer off-the-rack prestige suits by Armani or Versace, custom tailors are still doing a thriving business, with clients ranging from movie stars and British royalty to expatriate businessmen who want a suit made in as little as 24 hours.
You should probably don a Savile Row suit just to walk through the door of A-Man Hing Cheong, the territory's most prestigious tailor, located in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Leather-upholstered chairs, glass display cases, and polished wooden shelves bearing bolts of wool from England and cotton shirt fabric from Switzerland and Italy give the shop a hush of luxury. Managing director Y.K. Poon smiles somewhat disdainfully when asked whether he can make a suit overnight. The answer is no: "You can't make a suit properly in 24 hours." It is said that some of Hong Kong's richest tycoons have their suits tailored at A-Man Hing Cheong, which was founded in 1898. But here money buys discretion in addition to a finely tailored suit. "Our customers don't like to have their names known," says an assistant.
Anonymity is not an option at Sam's Tailors, tucked away in the teeming streets of downtown Kowloon. Write Sam a check and he may photocopy it and tape it to his counter, account number and all, as he did with the one for the equivalent of $3,200 written in 1994 by Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. His walls boast signed pictures of happy customers, among them Colin Powell and Bill Clinton. Other famous clients include Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten, former U.S. President George Bush, and Donald Trump.
At Sam's tiny shop, tourists, diplomats, and army types quite literally rub shoulders examining some 2,500 bolts and swatches of cloth. No snubbing of small spenders here; Sam's motto is "Don't ever think a junior guy is not important because one day he'll be a senior guy." You can wander into Sam's in your jeans, and owner Manu N. Melwani, son of the original Sam, will make you at home, pressing on you a bottle of soda or a beer with drinking straw straight from the refrigerator in the cramped fitting room. Most customers soon find an assistant taking the 15 measurements required to fit a suit. Governor Patten has had 39 suits and 160 shirts made, according to Melwani, who worked briefly on Savile Row in London. Sam can even make you a pair of plus fours for that hunting or fishing expedition in Scotland.
Sam's style catalogue is almost identical to that at A-Man Hing Cheong. With names like Classic, Traditional, and Conservative, these designs don't change much from year to year. Some tailors do offer more fashionable styles. At Bosco, customers are shown a glossy catalogue of designs and fabrics from Ermenegildo Zegna, the Italian men's clothing company. But perhaps the safest way to get what you want from Hong Kong's tailors is to take along your favorite suit and get it copied. "Men's tailors here don't innovate; they don't need to," says Kavita Daswani, who writes about fashion for the South China Morning Post. "When they say black tie, everyone--all the bankers, all the businessmen--wears identical black wool tuxedos with identical black satin bow ties."
What the Hong Kong tailors lack in high style, they should be expected to make up for in service and workmanship. Sam warns against fly-by-night tailors who subcontract the cutting and sewing to cheaper labor in mainland China. His suits are all made in a dingy building ten minutes' walk from the shop. Sam's biggest draw, however, is fast and courteous service. "He's an institution. People love to drop in and pick up a suit 24 hours later," says Daswani. "He fawns over you."
While most expatriates favor the traditional English fashions, a relative newcomer, millionaire socialite David Tang, is hoping to win Western and local converts by reviving the fine art of traditional Chinese tailoring--and giving it a modern, high-fashion twist. The two-year-old Shanghai Tang is an eclectic mix of China-themed knickknacks, a ready-to-wear collection, and a tailoring operation, all beautifully laid out in an airy duplex. Shanghai Tang's leather Mao jackets and yellow silk pajamas are not likely to appeal to the middle-aged military men who frequent the traditional tailors. But with the handover to Chinese rule fast approaching, fashion-conscious expatriates and tourists looking for something classic yet novel are flocking there.
So are celebrities, judging by the photos that grace Shanghai Tang's walls. There's director Oliver Stone in black silk and the designer Kenzo in a moss-green Mao suit. Chinese actress Gong Li, whose cheongsam-clad figure has wowed moviegoers, has just signed a contract to become Shanghai Tang's in-house model.
Shanghai Tang, which is staffed with tailors from Shanghai who are renowned throughout Asia for their expertise, is unlike the other shops in that women outnumber men. Chinese women of a certain age and a certain income have always had a tailor make their cheongsams--the body-hugging dresses with a high mandarin collar, buttoned from neck to armpit, and with the skirt slit at the sides to make walking possible. On one recent day, a slim blond expatriate woman slips out of the fitting room in a miniskirted cheongsam and looks delighted as she catches sight of herself in the mirror. To an untutored eye her dress already looks perfectly fitted, but tailor Hon Kei Gun, who came to Hong Kong from Shanghai at the age of 12, expertly pins and tucks the poppy red silk until there is no space to slide a paper knife between the woman and her cheongsam. She looks like a million dollars. I just hope she doesn't try sitting down.
For a man who wants to look trendy but businesslike, Hon might recommend a Mao suit that can be worn either with the jacket done up to the neck or open over a T-shirt. Fabrics, all made in China, range from casual cottons to linen and silks. A surprising number of men are also ordering the long flowing robe, loose silk jacket, and string of beads that will transform them into a Confucian sage. Who ever said money can't buy wisdom?

Companies which have spent resources on the installation and implementation or post-completion audit procedures obviously want to be assured that the system is cost-beneficial. One can establish a range of factors which are central to achieving the desired objectives and benefits of post-completion audit. They are as follows:
• The support of top management for the post-completion audit process;
• development of a corporate culture which encourages the desire to learn from experience;
• the acceptance that one can learn from successes as well as failures; appreciation that every project is different. and thus every post-completion audit requires a fresh approach;
• an effective balance between impartiality of the review team and involvement of project staff in the post-completion audit process;
• fundamental decision-making issues must be pursued in-depth to identify the underlying factors which drive the decision-making process;
• the post-completion audit report must focus on critical issues and be agreed with managers who were involved in the original decision-making and in implementing the project;
• install effective feedback procedures.
Benefits of post-completion audit
• It improves the quality of decision-making, by providing a mechanism whereby past experience can be made readily available to decision-makers.
• It encourages greater realism in project appraisal by providing a mechanism whereby past inaccuracies in forecasts are made public.
• It provides a means of improving control mechanisms, by formally highlighting areas where weaknesses have caused problems
• It enables speedy modification of under-performing/over-performing projects, by identifying the reasons for the under- or over-performance.
• It increases the frequency of project termination for 'bad projects'
• It highlights reasons for successful projects, which may be important in achieving greater benefits from future projects.
Problems with post-completion audit
There are many possible reasons why firms have been slow to adopt post-audits. An insight into these can be obtained by listing some of the problems frequently cited by executives responsible for undertaking post-audits.
• the disentanglement problem: It may be difficult to separate out the relevant costs and benefits specific to a new project from other company activities. Especially where facilities are shared and the new project requires an increase in shared overheads. Newly developed techniques of overhead cost allocation (activity-based costing) may prove helpful in this respect.
• Projects may be unique: If there is no prospect of repeating a project in the future, there may seem to be little point in post-auditing, since the lessons learned may not be applicable to any future activity. Nevertheless. useful insights into the capital budgeting system as a whole may still be obtained.
• Prohibitive cost: To introduce post-completion audit may involve interference with present management information systems in order to generate flows of suitable data. Since post-auditing every project may be very resource-intensive, firms tend to be selective in their post-audits.
• Biased selection: By definition, only accepted projects can be post-audited, and among these, it is often only under-performing ones that are singled out for detailed examination. Because of this biased selection mechanism, the forecasting and evaluation expertise of project analysts may cast in an unduly bad light-they might have been spot on in evaluating rejected and acceptably performing projects!
• Lack of co-operation. If the post-audit is conducted in too inquisitorial fashion, project sponsors are likely to offer grudging co-operation to the review team and be reluctant to accept and act upon their findings. The impartiality of the review team is paramount in this respect – for example, it would be inviting resentment to draw post-auditors from other parts of the company which may be competitors for scarce capital. Similarly, there are obvious dangers if reviews are undertaken solely by project sponsors. There is thus a need to assemble a balanced team of investigators.
• Encourages risk-aversion: If analysts' predictive and analytical abilities are to be thoroughly scrutinized, then they may be inclined to advance only 'safe' projects where little can go awry and where there is less chance of being 'caught out' by events.
• Environmental changes: Some projects can be devastated by largely unpredictable swings in market conditions. This can make the post-audit a complex affair as the review team is obliged to adjust analysts' forecasts to allow for the 'moving of the goalposts'.

Germany's Fischer Eases Concerns; Green Pares Fears About Foreign Shift
BONN -- When German voters ejected Helmut Kohl from office after 16 years, it was the end of the line for the man known as "the eternal chancellor." But last month's election was an even bigger change for the country's foreign ministry.
For 29 years, Germany's foreign minister was a member of the centrist Free Democratic Party, or FDP, the longtime junior coalition partner. The man now about to be named foreign minister, however, spent much of his time in the 1970s and 1980s protesting the ministry's actions....

It can take time to build up your personal freelance business. Yet, there is more demand than ever for freelancers. So, if you want to kick start making money online through freelancing you can join one of the top freelance networks, such as UpWork, Fiverr, Guru, Freelancer.com, or PeoplePerHour. Sign up, build your profile, upload some samples of your work and start making extra money by doing small freelance jobs.
While most of us are aware that social media is a great resource for online marketers, Sarah makes the argument for marketers to use Twitter. On a post from her blog, Sarah notes that Twitter is easier to learn than Facebook and LinkedIn and it can grow followers faster than other social networks. She also shared a study from Forbes that found that "Twitter is the strongest social media channel for generating business-to-business (B2B) leads, outperforming Facebook and LinkedIn 9-to-1 with 82 percent of social media leads coming from Twitter."
Sharpe says that you shouldn't dive into internet marketing until you decide on a niche and figure out what you're passionate about. Do you want to join the make-money-online (MMO) niche? Or do you want to engage in another niche? For example, you could sell products or online courses about blogging or search engine optimization or anything else for that matter. Keep in mind that whatever you're selling, whatever niche you're in, that you need to embed yourself there deeply.
Brendon Burchard is an American entrepreneur, coach, speaker and New York Times Best Selling Author of "The Millionaire Messenger". Burchard began his rise to fame after publishing the #1 Amazon Bestseller "Life's Golden Ticket" and followed up by establishing his High Performance Academy, a personal development program for high achievers. He is perhaps best known for his "Experts Academy" program which is a comprehensive marketing training course for aspiring authors, speakers, coaches and internet marketers. He is also a shooting star on the training circuit and is currently one of the highest paid speakers on motivation and marketing.
So the search for answers started and eventually it led me to Dan Lok's High Ticket Closing program. At first, I was very skeptical as I could not believe how a 7 weeks course will be able to teach me how to make money in such a short time. In addition, I did not have any sales background. Though I was scared to get scam, I was even more afraid of losing the love of my life. All I can say is that I am happy I pursued the program because it allowed me to acquire a high income skill that I can now utilize to work from anywhere and still make money.
When was the last time you went to a new restaurant without looking it up online beforehand? Or bought a product that didn't have at least a few 5-star reviews? It seems like more and more our world is run on reviews. And you can make money online by writing them. Get started by creating accounts on sites like Vindale research, Software Judge, FameBit, CrowdTap, Influence Central, and Modern Mom. However, before you run off and start writing, be sure to check the small print on each of these sites. Writing reviews isn't a huge source of guaranteed income and you want to make sure that it's worth your time before you get going.
People with part time jobs can make money online from home. When you're not at work you can fill out online surveys for fast money. Survey panel answering can also be a very flexible part-time job for busy students as sometimes it can be difficult to find a part-time job that can work around their school schedule. Luckily, students can earn money online by filling out surveys. And they can work when they are available, so work doesn't have to interfere with school!
Okay while i agree the list is very useful….i think that everyone should disreguard the online surveys they are awful if u want to make money doing it you have to fill out one form which just brings you to another site to give u more forms to fill out. Its pretty bad, plus kids should be getting out of there houses to make money not sitting inside all day.
If you are good at selling something, chances are you can make good money from home by setting your own market place website just like Olx.com. For those who don't know, A marketplace is a placewhere many different businesses sell their products or services. The initial cost is very low, a cheap hosting, domain and a wordpress script to start working.
While Etsy is fantastic for handmade goods that you've already created, if you've got killer designs that would look good on phone cases, t-shirts, or even wall hangings, pillows, and duvets, you can sell them on Society6 without paying anything to start. Society6 lets artists upload their designs and create their own shops where they choose what products their designs can be used on. That means one design can be used to make a whole range of awesome products that are printed and shipped on demand whenever someone buys from you. With top creators making thousands every month just from selling their designs.
Do a bit of research and due diligence. How much are people renting out their homes in your area on sites like AirBnB? What's the going rate and just how do those homes compare to your own home? There are a lot of issues to cover if you're thinking about doing this, so don't expect to profit simply from it. The more care and attention you put to the finer details here, the better it will be.
Yet that doesn't mean that all hope is lost. It doesn't mean that you can't make money online the legitimate way. It just means that you need to analyze things with a fine-tooth comb. Allow me to help you peer beyond the hype and the pizzaz. But, this article is more than just that. This article is a serious look at just how you can make money online today. This is a definitive guide, if you will, for analyzing, extracting and pursuing the right method for you.
She tells me she's met someone on the site "who I'm sure will be a friend for what I hope will be a very long time." Likewise, PrincessKiss, who's 23, from the North, and enjoys "What most young women do, spending time with friends and family, shopping, clubbing, reading true crime and watching horror movies," tells me: "I have made a good few friends on here, they can tell me anything and I can tell them anything." She adds that's she is totally herself on the site – in part because she can be more open with her sexuality, which she couldn't be on other sites where her family and friends are watching.
It's almost like a book club. However, it's much more than that. It is what I believe will form the basis for your success. While we take this journey, we will have to hold each other accountable for the tasks that we will have to implement. I will check up on you, and hope you will do the same for me. 2 heads are better than one, and 5 heads are better than 2. So if you are willing to join me on this journey, let me know by leaving your feedback in the comments area of this post.
Let me admit that there have been some sort of scamming and in past some companies didn't pay to their users and it's happen everywhere, even in offline jobs as well, however the companies i have listed above are old, popular and well known for paying to the customers. If you want to work with a specific company, do comment and I will investigate if the company is real or scam.
Find an audience for your passion or hobby and you're all set to make money online doing something you love via a niche website. That of course, is easier said than done. Creating a profitable niche website takes time and is not intended for the faint of heart. But, if you can hurdle the steep challenges and positively answer a few key questions on whether the website business idea you're thinking about is profitable, then you can begin building it and eventually monetize through advertising, affiliates, or other relevant products.
Add a few plugins. WordPress is king in this area which is why I advocate starting out with them. There are plugins out there for pretty much anything you can think of website related but starting out you may just need WordPress Jetpack. As you blog more and network with other bloggers, then you'll realize what they use and go through a trial and error period to see what works for you.
Why am I telling you all of this? The answer is pretty simple. I want you to get the understanding that making money online (at least in the initial stages), takes A LOT of STUDY and WORK! That's the unknown secret of Internet Marketing Gurus. Anyone can make a few hundred dollars. To be quite honest, you can make a few hundred dollars in your FIRST MONTH as a Freebie Trader. To be even MORE honest, it's much harder to profit $2,000+ each and every month, which is the reason I built this blog, and so many other people have their blogs on Internet Marketing – To save you the struggles that we had in getting going.
You may decide to create free videos as extra content for your blog, and not sell them at all. If this is the case then you can still make money from these videos by selling advertising space on them (in the same way as discussed for monetizing podcasts). Once you have high volumes of traffic visiting your blog, and watching your videos, you can charge businesses to advertise at the beginning of your videos. Use website's like Izea to help you connect with companies willing to pay to advertise on your blog.
I like your honesty to this one in particular. I was surprised that you too suffered some of those scams and roller coasters. I must admit, the first time I lost money online, I was devastated. I too fall for some of the majic button in a box and the google back door crap. HOwever, your honesty speaks to clear that we all can learn. The HARD WORK and STUDY….cant go wrong!!!!
As per paidsurveyupdate.com research, You'll typically earn $0.50 to $5.00 per survey, and earnings can quickly add up to$300 a month or more if you take a lot of surveys. Earning money takes time and effort, but how much effort is up to you. If you can commit to doing a few surveys a day, you should be able to earn at least $100 a month. Please make sure that the amount varies depending upon your skill, expertise and area you live in.
Jon, I just found your website, and am so grateful I did! I've had a blog for over 3 years now, but am just taking it to the next level. I'm floored by how much there is to learn. I think your analogy of the puzzle is spot on. There are so many pieces to put together. I agree that to succeed, that it's all about marketing. I've seen this time and time again, whether it be with books, shows, movies. Yes, the content and quality have to be there, but if there's no quality and intelligent marketing behind it, it will flop. There are brilliant ideas, books never published or made bestsellers, all because they lacked the right marketing tools.
I don't think the reserves should be on the list as a side hustle because as a former active duty sailor and reservist I have been called back to full time active duty, so what you may think of as a side hustle may cause you to have to leave your family, your home and your job, and if you are in the lower ranks you may end up bankrupt because you have to leave a higher paying full time job when Uncle Sam comes calling. This should only be done if you really love the military or need to meet active duty contract obligations.

If you've developed valuable skill sets or picked up certifications within your industry over the years, offering your consulting services to local business owners can be a lucrative way to make money online. Whether you're an expert marketer, business strategist, or manufacturing aficionado, there's likely a local business owner who's willing to pay you to help them solve an issue with their company. Start with this 18-step checklist to becoming a local business consultant from Karyn Greenstreet and then use my guide to crafting an effective cold email to convince them to hire you.
I used to have fun doing surveys while I watched TV. I was choosy about the companies I used and I never paid to sign up for any. I got about $25 in free BlockBuster movie coupons, cashed out about $25 from another site and did an in house project trial where a company sent me to full size body lotions to use and record information about. I had fun, felt like my input was improving the business world, but I wasn't looking to get rich quick, just earn a little bit in time that typically wasted. Some survey companies pay very little, others pay better. Of course, it is not fair to the businesses conducting the research to lie in order to qualify for a survey and they certainly deserve honest and thoughtful answers to their questions. The companies I worked with told me how much the survey would pay and how long it would it would take. Research for the reputable companies.
So we have to ask, why are these women really using the site? The money's important — and they do make quite a bit. It's hard to pin down average figures because people work different hours on the site, but one user has said she made up to $55,000 in a year. NaughtyJo even tells me someone bought her a new phone after she broke her last one. And men are paying these sums for friendship at least as much as they are titillation: perhaps more so.
Jose Reyes I've been looking for work for quite some time now and would really appreciate it if you knew anyone in las Vegas that possibly can help me with a job I'm a single mother of 3, my oldest daughter is 13 my other daughter is 10 and my son will be 6 march 1st. None of there father's have ever been in their lives my daughters met their dads recently but have no relationship with them and its sad. My sons picks him up on weekends and shares a relationship with his side of the family which is a blessing. We currently live with my mom and brother in government housing and I really need to do something to get us into our own place and on my feet life has been harsh towards me but it'll never break me and who I am.
Many people fancy themselves as designers. If you have a unique idea for a new product then it may be time to get it designed. This can be a long process involving prototypes, discussions with factories, package design, and much more. However, the profits once the product is on the market could be substantial. And remember, with Amazon FBA, your products can all be stored and shipped by Amazon, giving you time to think up your next invention. Learn more about Amazon FBA with my How To Start An Amazon FBA Business Guide.
I saw this Panda in Hong Kong. He was just facing the wall in this concrete room instead of hanging out in the fake grass. We could only see him through the TV monitor. I saw this look a million times when I used to work in an office. Why should you start making money online? Freedom. You don't want to end up like Prison panda. You can be free IF you work to get there.
But not all internet gurus are bad and some of them are honest. The difference between an internet guru and online business community, in terms of the price they ask for their product is substantial. The guru in most cases, will sell you $50 PDF guide. Membership fee however, to an online business community, in most cases will run somewhere or a little over $300/year. But it pays off in many ways!!
If I have a blog that is getting 100,000 page views a month that means that I'm probably getting at least 50,000 people to the site (most blogs will do between 1.2 to 1.4 pages per session). That means I have to try and get some small percentage of those people to buy something from me if I really want to do well. If I can't get them to buy something then (in some cases) I have ads running on the site that will make me money anyways.
Most people who want to make money on the side pick generic services that have lots of competition — general writing, fitness training, and computer repair for instance — then wonder why nobody notices them or buys from them. Meanwhile, other businesses are super-specific and deeply understand their clients and their problems. And they never have to worry about competition or lowering their prices.
#3. Almost zero expense to start. You can open your account with Robinhood, for example, and trade stocks for free. Almost zero expense to open an account and zero expense to trade stocks. Of course, you will need some capital to fund your account. I know. You can start with a small capital just to test the waters. Compare that to blogging, affiliate marketing and drop shipping which may require some up-front expense to start, in addition to your capital.
You may decide to create free videos as extra content for your blog, and not sell them at all. If this is the case then you can still make money from these videos by selling advertising space on them (in the same way as discussed for monetizing podcasts). Once you have high volumes of traffic visiting your blog, and watching your videos, you can charge businesses to advertise at the beginning of your videos. Use website's like Izea to help you connect with companies willing to pay to advertise on your blog.

Next, you need to set up and build your YouTube channel. Your YouTube channel is your homebase for all your content. If you already have a Google account for Gmail or Google Drive, then you can use that to log-in to YouTube and start setting up your channel. Pick a username that works for you and is memorable (if you're using an existing Google account you'll have to edit your username in Google+).
Join a startup accelerator: Another great option is to apply to a startup accelerator like Y Combinator, 500 startups, or TechStars, where a group of investors will help coach you, connect you with potential partners, and provide startup cash in return for a small stake in your company. The competition is tough to get into these, so don't rely on them as your only path forward.
I would like to warn people to freelance on a single platform, Fiverr and Upwork for example are arbitrarily closing accounts of thousands and thousands of freelancers who have been working hard sometimes for many years to build their portfolio, only to get their account closed in a matter of minutes because some rules and policy changed, and a little mistake (like for instance asking a customer to change a review in exchange of improving the delivery) would get your account PERMANENTLY suspended with all your money frozen for 90 days.
Great list! Another suggestion would be transcribing. Transcribing really requires very little skill or capital to get started. You can sign up with companies like Elance and Odesk to find jobs OR reach straight out to producers of audio content to see if they need help. With the huge trend in podcasting a great place to start would be by perusing iTunes for podcast shows that may need help turning their audio podcast episodes into text for their website or "show notes."
Network marketing is also known as multilevel marketing (MLM). You may know this as Avon, Mary Kay, Amway and the like. Some tend to turn their noses up at this, but don't sleep on this just yet. I know several ladies making bank doing this and they love it. And there are others who do not make money from this so the success stories tend to vary.
If you have a great voice, you can make decent money by doing Voice Over at Fiverr.com. You can record Voice Overs in English with American, British, Australian, Canadian or New Zealand accent. Or record it in German, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, French, Italian and in many, many languages. Sign up with Fiverr.com. Once you get the order, you can turn around and quickly record at the nearest studio or simply record it on your own computer if it's clear.
Once you are all set up, Live Ops has an excellent online training program that teaches you how to handle calls from customers. You will be taking calls for many different companies. When you start working, your phone will ring and a script will pop up on your screen. You simply read the script word for word and input customer information as you go along. If customers have questions, there is a section on your screen with FAQ's and you are also logged into a virtual chat room should you need to ask for support from a supervisor.
My understanding is that you have to subscribe/pay for the business version of Word Press in order to use any of the monetizing functions. I think you should clearly state this in this article at the beginning. I think there is a degree of bait and switch here if people are just signing up for the free subscription and then finding out they have to pay for a subscription to make money. I am ok with that, it just needs to be stated up front everywhere.

Getting businesses to advertise on your podcast, either at the beginning or end, or both, is a great way to create a revenue through podcasts. Most businesses won't be keen to advertise on your podcast until you can prove a large number of listeners. Therefore, it is unlikely you will be able to start out from the get-go with sponsors. But once you accumulate regular listeners, or a high number of downloads from iTunes, you can start to sell advertising space on your podcasts.
iWriter – iWriter is an old site which pays up to $15 for each accepted post. That may seem small, but they aren't as strict as many of the others above, they are also recognised by many sites and are well known and famous. The thing i like about them is that they also allow you to pick exactly what you write. You can write as many or as few articles as you want. They will also assign you a category of writers and people can self choose you for their writing needs.
Thank you for contributing such a wonderful post. As usual, you have conveyed a profound truth in simple language, that is, there is no substitute for hard work. Persistence pays, so never give up. And if one course does not work, take a detour. If your on-line business is not working, find another angle to work on it, but don't give up. This is the message I got out of your write-up: a true inspiration. In your case, the hours and hours of struggle have paid off, so continue to educate us, your fans and readers. Wish you the best and three cheers to your success. Cheerio.
Install WordPress. WordPress is king in the content management system arena. Please don't use Blogger. If you have aspirations of taking your site to the big time, you will eventually want to switch to WordPress. Liquidweb will often (if not always by request) help you with this part because it is super easy. WordPress has one click installations now so you're lucky. Back in the day I was still fiddling with the FTP server in hopes that my files would transfer completely without a hitch.
#3. Almost zero expense to start. You can open your account with Robinhood, for example, and trade stocks for free. Almost zero expense to open an account and zero expense to trade stocks. Of course, you will need some capital to fund your account. I know. You can start with a small capital just to test the waters. Compare that to blogging, affiliate marketing and drop shipping which may require some up-front expense to start, in addition to your capital.
Robo-advisors are diversified investment accounts that are automatically managed by a computer algorithm (as opposed to a human money manager). If you want to invest, but don't have the money, or don't want to invest with a money manager, robo-advisors are for you! Robo-advisors make investing easier—and cheaper—so they're perfect for new investors.
Even if you have found the perfect way to make money online for you, always keep your eyes open for new and more exciting opportunities. There are many sources where you can see what the upcoming trends are and can easily find your new niche. Whatever you do, just make sure you're communicating with as many people as possible and follow blogs and websites for relevant information, so you'll never be outdated.
Choose your niche and check for demand: The golden course combination is when you can find an in-demand niche that aligns with your skills and unique experiences. A great way to do this is to use Google Trends and Google's Keyword Planner to look for average monthly search volume for keywords related to your proposed course content. Are people actively looking for high-quality information about this subject? Of course, if you're already creating content for a blog, coaching service, or a site like Medium, you can test demand this way for free just like Bryan did.
White labeling products involves purchasing pre-made products from a supplier and then adding your own labeling and branding. Products could range from candles to gym equipment or even tea, but all will come without labels, allowing you to create your own new range of merchandise. Most suppliers will advertise the fact they offer white labeled goods on their websites, so pick your niche and then find the right supplier and product for you. Once labeled, products can be sold via sites like eBay and Amazon, or from your own eCommerce store (discussed in a moment).
Active income requires your time and you can only produce as much money as your time allows. For example, a doctor or a lawyer who charge high per-hour or per-consultation fees and make exorbitant amounts of cash are stifled by the amount of time they have in a day. We all have the same 24 hours. Not one person on this earth gets more time than the next. It's the greatest equalizer in life. When the time you work directly correlates to your income, it's called active income.

Tricubes ready to meet MyEmail target
KUALA LUMPUR: Tricubes Bhd has opened its MyEmail e-mail service to the public, touting more offerings in addition to its original proposition.
The service was launched via Facebook on Sept 14 and currently has more than 3,000 subscribers, the bulk of whom signed up during a beta trial of the service in August and September.
The original subscriber target set by the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) was 5.4 million MyEmail subscribers by year-end.
Speaking to members of the press, CEO Khairun Zainal Mokhtar admitted that it is "a stretched target," given the project's delayed start.
He said the company has had discussions with Pemandu and that the government unit is "well aware of the situation and realistic" about its expectations.
Pemandu is a unit under the Prime Minister's Department. Its main role and objective is to oversee implementation and assess progress of the Economic Transformation Programme and Government Transformation Programme.
When asked what its new subscriber target is, Khairun said the company has an internal forecast of two million subscribers by next year and remains "optimistic" about achieving that target.
The MyEmail service is a free initiative intended to allow Malaysians direct and secure communication with government agencies.
It is based on the Microsoft Windows Live platform, with features such as unlimited e-mail storage space, 25GB cloud storage capacity, and access to online Microsoft tools which would enable the users to create, modify, share and store documents online.
Addressing the security of the service, Tricubes vice-president of software and services S. Vishnu Shankar said there are three layers to its security approach.
The first is user authentication via the MyKad identity card and biometric devices; the second is platform security that leverages on Microsoft's cloud-based Windows Azure Platform; and lastly encryption of all data with password protection.
Documents are stored on the cloud, with no locally stored passwords and user verification conducted via security certificate-based authentication and dynamic tokens.
Core to the MyEmail platform offering is the eBilling service, which is slated to launch sometime this month.
The service pushes bills, notices and statements to customers rather than requiring them to pull their bills from billing departments or third party portals. Future features include in-Bill payments via interactive and encrypted PDF documents. As users are authenticated and verified using MyKad, billing departments are assured that the documents are sent to the right person.
However, only 50% of the subscriber-base has been authenticated via biometrics and MyKad via on-site booths set up by the company during its trial phase.
When asked how future users of the portal will be able to authenticate their account, Khairun said the company is now in discussions with partners and organisations to allow for the addition of MyEmail registration within partner branches.
Tricubes has an installed base of more than 50,000 biometric and smartcard devices to 200-plus organisations.
The company has already presented its proposals to four of its government agency clients: The Royal Malaysian Police, Kuala Lumpur City Hall, the Road Transport Department, and the Employees Provident Fund.
Two out of the four have agreed to start pilot programmes, slated to begin next month.
Khairun declined to reveal which agencies these are but said the value proposition offered by the eBilling service has received good response.
Billing departments will bear the cost of delivery and agencies are currently evaluating the proposal, which sets the cost of sending a single eBill at 50sen.
When asked if Tricubes intends to be a direct competitor to MYEG, a portal which provides online government transactional services, Khairun said he believes the market is big enough for a few players in the e-services business.
"There is a lot of potential in e-payment solutions, which is where our focus is," he said.
No silver bullet
Khairun denied that the MyEmail service is in a chicken-and-egg situation, with regards to the volume of subscribers required for agencies to quickly move forward with the service and the number of agencies which need to be brought onboard to make it an attractive offering to the public.
"I don't believe we are in such a situation. There is no silver bullet and there must be multiple initiatives in place to attract users," he said, citing the partner programmes as one such initiative.
As part of its expanded offerings, the MyEmail portal will also provide subscribers with exclusive consumer promotions.
It now has four partners, namely group-buying site JackCow, wedding invitation service WeddingKami, online magazine portal Allscript, and online tutoring service Tutor.com.
On how the company plans to market its platform and convince the public to sign up for its services, Khairun said promotional campaigns are slated to begin next month.
"We wanted to make sure the product is up to mark before communicating with the public," Khairun said.

Add Leverage (Mortgage) and you greatly increase the ROI especially from the perspective of using Rents (other peoples money) to pay down the mortgage and increase your equity in the property over time. At this point then yes price appreciation is secondary bonus and we have an arguement of how and why Real Estate can be better than Growth Stocks in some scenarios and for some investors.
I've read stories about people setting up ad campaigns and making thousands of dollars within a matter of hours. What's the catch? The big one is risk. You're spending money to make money, so if you turn out to set up a bad ad campaign that doesn't convert well, you can easily lose lots of money. That's been the primary reason I've stayed away from this method of making money online. I'm not going to bother giving advice here, because as I said, this isn't something I've done. If you're interested, you can probably find a lot of good information via Google, but watch out – as with any other internet marketing topic, most everyone is going to try to sell you something.
One of the easiest ways to get exposure to dividend stocks is to buy ETFs like DVY, VYM, and NOBL or index funds. You can also pay an algorithmic advisor like Wealthfront to automatically invest your money for you at a low fee. In the long run, it is very hard to outperform any index, therefore, the key is to pay the lowest fees possible while being invested in the market. Wealthfront charges $0 in fees for the first $15,000 and only 0.25% for any money over $10,000. Invest your idle money cheaply, instead of letting it lose purchasing power due to inflation. The key is to invest regularly.
Agricultural and allied sectors accounted for about 52.1% of the total workforce in 2009–10. While agriculture employment has fallen over time in percentage of labour employed, services which includes construction and infrastructure have seen a steady growth accounting for 20.3% of employment in 2012–13.[351] Of the total workforce, 7% is in the organised sector, two-thirds of which are in the government-controlled public sector.[352] About 51.2% of the workforce in India is self-employed.[351] According to a 2005–06 survey, there is a gender gap in employment and salaries. In rural areas, both men and women are primarily self-employed, mostly in agriculture. In urban areas, salaried work was the largest source of employment for both men and women in 2006.[353]
In mid-2017, I sold my San Francisco rental property for 30X annual gross rent and reinvested $500,000 of the proceeds in real estate crowdfunding. I'm leveraging technology to invest in lower valuation properties with higher net rental yields in the heartland of America. With the new tax policy starting in 2018 capping state income and property tax deductions to $10,000 and limiting interest deduction on mortgages of only $750,000 from $1,000,000, expensive coastal city real estate markets should soften at the expense of non-coastal city real estate.
Freelancing is basically a kind of work where people are self-employed as they take projects and some piece of work from some company or person but they are not part of that company or organization. As opposed to a regular salary job where the payments are fixed and monthly, freelancing projects/assignments are paid per case basis. Hence a freelancer is not supposed to work full time for the company/person, instead, they just need to finish only a specific task. Freelancing can be a full-time career for many professionals. And the most amazing part of freelancing is that it is not limited to a particular domain, from content to coding, freelance jobs are available in every domain. In India, Freelancing is not considered as a highly paid job, but that's not true. Your earning capacity depends on your quality and quantity of work. If you want to earn more apart from your full-time salaried job, freelancing can be a great option for you. There are many online websites where you can find a freelancing job. You just need to give time to select and get a good project/assignment.
Industry accounts for 26% of GDP and employs 22% of the total workforce.[165] According to the World Bank, India's industrial manufacturing GDP output in 2015 was 6th largest in the world on current US dollar basis ($559 billion),[166] and 9th largest on inflation-adjusted constant 2005 US dollar basis ($197.1 billion).[167] The industrial sector underwent significant changes due to the 1991 economic reforms, which removed import restrictions, brought in foreign competition, led to the privatisation of certain government-owned public-sector industries, liberalised the foreign direct investment (FDI) regime,[168] improved infrastructure and led to an expansion in the production of fast-moving consumer goods.[169] Post-liberalisation, the Indian private sector was faced with increasing domestic and foreign competition, including the threat of cheaper Chinese imports. It has since handled the change by squeezing costs, revamping management, and relying on cheap labour and new technology. However, this has also reduced employment generation, even among smaller manufacturers who previously relied on labour-intensive processes.[170]
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service categorizes income into three broad types, active income, passive income, and portfolio income.[1] It defines passive income as only coming from two sources: rental activity or "trade or business activities in which you do not materially participate."[2][3] Other financial and government institutions also recognize it as an income obtained as a result of capital growth or in relation to negative gearing. Passive income is usually taxable.
Book sales ($36,000 a year): Sales of How to Engineer Your Layoff" continue to be steady. I expect book sales to rise once the economy starts to soften and people get more nervous about their jobs. It's always best to be ahead of the curve when it comes to a layoff by negotiating first. Further, if you are planning to quit your job, then there is no downside in trying to engineer your layoff so you can get WARN Act pay for several months, a severance check, deferred compensation, and healthcare.
It is hard to do both but you're not supposed to. You're supposed to get your safety net down THEN try to do high wire acrobatics above it – not set up the two at the same time. So get retirement and your emergency fund squared away, then consider the stock market (taxable) and real estate. There's no rush! Don't let others dictate your future because they don't have the same priorities as you. 🙂
A few people who started their own YouTube channel when the video-sharing site was in its nascent stage are now millionaires. Now that YouTube has become immensely popular with hordes of people running their own channels, making a million dollars is considerably more difficult, but earning a respectable sum of money is still possible. As always, you'll need to find a niche that isn't yet saturated and focus on making engaging videos around it. Once you start raking up views and subscriptions, the money will start flowing in with minimum effort on your part.

Engineering is the largest sub-sector of India's industrial sector, by GDP, and the third-largest by exports.[177] It includes transport equipment, machine tools, capital goods, transformers, switchgears, furnaces, and cast and forged parts for turbines, automobiles and railways. The industry employs about four million workers. On a value-added basis, India's engineering subsector exported $67 billion worth of engineering goods in the 2013–14 fiscal year, and served part of the domestic demand for engineering goods.[178]

It's been almost 10 years since I started Financial Samurai and I'm actually earning a good income stream online now. Financial Samurai has given me a purpose in early retirement. And, I'm having a ton of fun running this site as well! Here's a real snapshot of a personal finance blogger who makes $150,000+ a year from his site and another $180,000 from various consulting opportunities due to his site.
P2P lending started in San Francisco with Lending Club in mid-2000. The idea of peer-to-peer lending is to disintermediate banks and help denied borrowers get loans at potentially lower rates compared to the rates of larger financial institutions. What was once a very nascent industry has now grown into a multi-billion dollar business with full regulation.
What are your thoughts on an Immediate Annuity as a passive income vehicle? I suppose it's not a great investment since you never get your principal back, but the risk is zero and the cash flow is fairly good, approaching 6% currently. And, since you are guaranteed payments for life, you may not care that you never see your principal again anyway since you'll be dead!
3) Create A Plan. Mark Spitz once said, "If you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail." You must create a system where you are saving X amount of money every month, investing Y amount every month, and working on Z project until completion. Things will be slow going at first, but once you save a little bit of money you will start to build momentum. Eventually you will find synergies between your work, your hobbies, and your skills which will translate into viable income streams.
If you're into antiques, for example, you could check out garage sales for hidden deals then capitalize on your knowledge to turn a profit. Perhaps you're into video games, specific brands of clothing, or something else. Whatever it is, with a little research, it's possible to turn your knowledge into cash with an eBay store. Best of all, you can sell from the comfort of your own home.
Another benefit of investing in rental properties is the loan pay down. If you obtain a loan to buy the property, each month your tenants are paying off part of the loan. Once the mortgage on the property has been paid off, your cash flow will increase dramatically, allowing your mediocre investment to skyrocket into a full-fledged retirement program.

The one thing I learned though from all those childhood experiences though is that you never can depend on one source of income. Eventually my mom caught on and stopped giving me all those extra bags of chips and I had to figure out a new way to make money. No matter how safe something seems there's always the chance that you could lose that income and be stuck with nothing.
A normal distribution (bell curve) is the limit of what one would find by adding up the value of many independent quantities such as the height of people in a large group. A power law distribution is the limit of what one would find by multiplying the value of many independent quantities such as the relative size of forest fires over a large enough area and a long enough period of time.
Investing in bonds: Similarly, bonds are an attractive way to engage in passive income. Over a recent 45-year period, bonds funds, as measured by Vanguard Funds, returned 7.1%. Of course, there's no guarantee that investments in stocks or bonds will always work out well, investing in them is by far the surest way to generate money through passive income.
The bottom line is, it's smart to have multiple income streams no matter who you are. Why? Because the more ways you can earn money without compromising your integrity, the better off you'll be. And if you're self-employed, having multiple income streams is almost essential. Not only will you enjoy a higher income, but you won't go broke if one stream ends out of the blue.
I really enjoyed how you listed all of the reasons to build passive income streams as well as the framework. You also made an interesting point about freelance writing on how the more skilled writers want to keep posts for their own website. Good insight because freelance writing is something I've been looking into for income recently. Also, it's amazing what you've been able to accomplish with your blog over the past 6 years. It's so motivational to see the success of Financial Samurai. I'm not in a place to afford any consulting, but, I wish I could pick your brain or get mentored by a successful blogger such as yourself…Not trying to blow smoke lol. It would just be so great to have someone who's done it provide guidance around the direction of the blog, ways to earn, and on the general concept. Always enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing :)
India became the tenth-largest insurance market in the world in 2013, rising from 15th in 2011.[217][218] At a total market size of US$66.4 billion in 2013, it remains small compared to world's major economies, and the Indian insurance market accounts for 2% of the world's insurance business. India's life and non-life insurance industry has been growing at 20%, and double-digit growth is expected to continue through 2021.[219] The market retains about 360 million active life-insurance policies, the most in the world.[219] Of the 52 insurance companies in India, 24 are active in life-insurance business. The life-insurance industry is projected to increase at double-digit CAGR through 2019, reaching US$1 trillion annual notional values by 2021.[219]
People's lives these days are so fast paced that multitasking has become the need of the hour. That explains why podcasts have suddenly become so popular; they allow people to get information or entertainment while they're in the middle of commuting, working out, cooking, or something else. Podcasts are easier to create than YouTube videos and can be shared just as easily on iTunes. Just select a topic that you're well-informed or passionate about, and start a podcast around it, it's that simple.
As for me, I started focusing on passive income last year, but have owned rentals for 5 years. $25k now outside retirement accounts in mostly real estate. Looking to invest another $500k cash into real estate to get about $65k, and then 1031 under performers next year to hopefully boost that a bit higher. Heavy in real estate, but feels lower risk than the stock market to me if you have cashflowing properties. Real estate is inflation adjusted, and built in cashflow raise when the loan pays off.
Credit Card Sign-Up Bonuses – This one might not seem like a source of income but ever since I discovered how lucrative churning credit cards can be I consider it part of my income.

It's not as simple as just signing up for a card though, it requires a lot of research and some maintenance every couple weeks.
5 months ago, I decided to create my own online business. I was really exacted because It was always my dream to earn cash by working from home to be able to unite my family and to retire my father that had been working as a security far away from home. My family and I only used to see him three times a year. I would like to change it, and online business gave me a possibility to make my dream to become real. I really was committed to giving all my self to succeed in building a successful online business. As a matter of fact, I failed to do it on my own. I was so disappointed because it seems that I was born to fail. It was 22nd June at night, I was hearing a motivational speech, so one of the guys said," Copy what successful people's strategy as your own, and you will get the same result that they have". That opened my mind because that was the secret, I did not realize that there are a lot of people in this marketing a year. So, I took some online courses from gurus. Following their steps. right now where am I? I am now a successful online business of 22 years old trying to retire his father. I really thank people a lot that have the mindset to share this priceless information in this blog. Indeed, thank you.
Nah you misunderstood me. I'm working 50 hours a week now to get residency and only taking a couple of classes. I'll be working 10-20 hours a week when I go back to schoool full time a year from now. I tried working 35 hours and school full time but got burned out last year so no more of that. My grades are so-so. I got a 3.7gpa in all my GE's and really on a conservative basis planning to remain around there which would mean 1 B for every 2 A's. To get residency realistically I got to earn 300 dollars in taxable income a week for a year, and in the meantime am allowed to go to school part time given the fact that I can pay for school with the money I have earned within the period I began to establish residency, so no outside cash because my bank accounts will be audited at the end of the year.
Thank you for sharing your article! You did a great job saving and putting your money to work for you. Like you, I share the same financial dream of having 150-200k in passive income and traveling the world stress-free! :) Right now I'm saving about 80-90% of my active income and put it toward ETF funds and value growth stocks because I'm seeking capital appreciation. And I can tolerate a lot of risks because I'm still in my early 20's. By the time I reach 30 something I'll start looking into blue chips stocks that pay dividends and REIT. So I want to be where you are by that time lol. Anyways, that the plan and I'm sticking to it. Good luck on achieving your financial dream!
