How to Earn More Cash
April 3, 2010 by drewloupsen · Leave a Comment
Everyone is always looking for a “get-rich quick” scheme. The fact is that our economy works in such a way that it’s not possible to make money unless someone is willing to hand it to you. You could try to be self-employed or sell timeshare, and while timeshare rental has it’s benefits, there are plenty of other avenues through which moneymaking can be done, especially since the inception of the internet.
If you investigate ways to make money on the net, it becomes clear that more and more cash is increasingly being made by those who manage others, rather than those who in fact create and do work themselves. This can be seen in Facebook, as advertisers are willing to pay the owners of the business to host advertising, while the actual creation of content is done by the users. That is, every individual person who utilizes Facebook uploads their own thoughts, opinions, images and videos to the site, encouraging others to visit.
If you look on Facebook, you can now note that users are encouraged to “Get back in touch” with some users. These other users are those who have not been on Facebook in a month or so. This is done so that if a user decides to take such prodding and contact the other user, an email will be delivered to them saying “Your friend has sent you a message” and they’ll be more liable to log back on. In effect, the user is doing the job of advertising the Facebook brand to their friends.
You can also note an increasing trend in user-created content with the way news companies is increasingly encouraging viewers to send in their own videos and news stories. Virtually every mainstream news program lets viewers know they can play a part in the creation of the days news by sending in videos or stories that may be of value. While the user who creates something of interest may be happy to give their video in and see their own creation on the news, the benefit for doing such a thing lies with the news company. They’ve essentially found a person to break a news story, film useable footage and then give them the rights, all for nothing. If you ever happen to film a piece of valuable footage; never send it via such a mechanism. It’s more advisable that you get in touch with different news organizations and tell them of the footage you have, and tell them that you will sell this to the best bidder. You may be surprised with the price they put on offer, it might range in the multiples of thousands if the footage is considered good enough.
Making money is in the end down to your own creative-thinking abilities along with an ability to work hard. Just having one of the above attributes alone will not be sufficient to get you into the high life of making tons of money. But hey, is cash that important anyway? It’s simple to make a lot of money if that’s all you want to do, but without real human relationships, you’ll feel dissatisfied no matter how much cash you have.
