At the time of writing this I had absolutely no money, as I can imagine many people reading this article are themselves in some way right now.
Most people envy the famous or the wealthy, and naturally many people are interested in the lives of celebrities or the rich and the smart alike.
What I propose to do with this ebook turned article is simplify success, more specifically your online and personal success.
Most internet books are written step by step with details and personal experience from the individual presenting their material, but on the contrary with my article I plan on shaping your mind along with your pocketbook by quickly transforming your attitude towards personal success because most people know what they should be doing to attain the success they want but most people don't have the mindframe to accomplish exactly what they want to achieve at whatever level of personal success no matter what that is for you.
If you want to make an independant income without the 9-5, or if you just want to bring in some extra cash on top of your current profession, I'll help you make improvements in all aspects of your life.
To get started I'll explain a bit more about the flow of this article. I am going to mix in all of the ideas that I am aware of for making money online, all of the professions or ways to make money that aren't scams and aren't a waste of your time, we all know about surveys and the other uninterested jobs that can be found on the internet so I won't waste your time with those.
Really, showing you websites and links will be a small part of the article, Google is there for a reason.
What I want to do is open your mind to some possibilities you might not have known about if it weren't for my article and share some possibilities you did know about but perhaps under a different light you'll get the spark needed to actualize the ideas that you can create and put into action by making a step by step guide that you plan out to help get you started now; I have been studying hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming and plan on sharing some insights I've learned from both of those to assist you.
Before I began talking to you about the wealthy and the famous because I think you'll agree people follow the rich very closely, now a big key to your personal as well as online success will come from how you interact with the people around you, not just your clients, I'm sure you've seen a lot of famous peoples careers ruined because their interactions were either misinterpreted or just outright unacceptable.
So the best first step is to record any thoughts or ideas and to record any and all progress, even if you didn't want to write anything, at least write that you didn't feel like writing anything and write down WHY you didn't want to write anything.
Keeping a journal or writing your thoughts is a good way to keep the outside like the inside; and what I mean by that is balancing your thoughts with your actions. If you write down and externalize how you feel you'll be stretching your conscious limits and end up pulling more information out of your subconscious than you normally do when you are put on the spot, which will help you when you do find yourself getting to those tough quick-minute decisions.
We'll touch a bit on the journal keeping aspect later because it is very important, most rich people keep a very up to date account of their actions, some go even further which is what I'm asking of you, to write not only your physical actions but your mental and spiritual actions as well because the more elements of your life you include in your online and personal success the better chances you have to achieve some sort of progress.
Now I understand that I can't cover everything I really want to, so what I plan on doing is providing you with the direction to go to find everything you need. If you don't know HTML, a certain program or learning anything else I will give you the resources that I've found work best for me and some that I have heard are very good.
Before we go any further though I would like you to know that some of the links I'll be sharing with you enable you to download programs and material without purchasing them, my policy is if you enjoyed it and found value in it you'll end up either promoting their products or services or eventually outright buying the products or services once you apply whatever it is you found valuable in the products or services.
With that being said, make sure you understand before downloading any torrents or joining any torrent communities I or anyone else mentions that you should be fair and at least buy the stuff when you can actually afford it.
If you get anything of value out of this article it will most likely be the resources and communities that I know of and the ability for you to learn things practically for free that otherwise are very difficult to obtain such as training videos for things from public speaking, various programming languages, speed seduction (dating), food/cooking, fashion, psychology, exercise, massage, etc.. to audiobooks of every shape and size. That being said, almost every job I mention in THIS article can be learned or improved upon by the resources I mention.
If you prefer to purchase the products I am sure you will be able to find them at amazon.com or google will be able to locate some supplier but for those who are very poor and intend on reciprocating in the future the option is there to learn for free, you'll notice I didn't use this as a selling feature for the article/book because I do not really endorse stealing but think if people are going to be stuck in a rut there should at least be some option for them to take to better themselves and those around them.
CHAPTER 1 - What Do You Want To Do?
Now to get started with we want to get thinking about what direction we want to take, remembering in any case you will have to make some kind of profile or portfolio.
I am going to focus on:
PHOTOGRAPHY
VOICE TALENTS
FREELANCE
FILM/VIDEO
I truly want to avoid wasting your time with things that may not exist in 5-10 years, that being surveys and junk-internet jobs that most people consider spam or annoying.
My goal here is to help you build a hobby type job into an amazing fortune and I figured out of everything I've mentioned there has to be something that you know a bit about or something you want to know more about now.
For instance some people are making an easy $500.00 a month for taking photographs (best to have a 4MP camera or better and a tripod.)
Other people find joy in being on commercials or becoming the next popular cartoon characters voice and making a living just using your voice.
Other people who have programming skills (or want programming skills) can use some of the resources I will give later on to learn what it takes to do freelance work for various companies or people with ideas who need people with skills to move their ideas in reality, or you could do freelance article writing for websites/blogs, you could write product reviews for various people, or freelance telemarketing jobs, photoshop, logo design, data processing jobs, translation services, data entry, accounting and bookkeeping jobs, the list is nearly endless when it comes to freelance work.
Then there's film and video work; now depending on what type of person you are there are various options.
Although aside from the options I will also focus on how you can use film and video to promote and showcase everything you do to maximize your potential for success.
There are lots of websites out there that need stock footage, now if you plan on using any you already currently have recorded you'll have to get some kind of release form for each and any people (models) in your videos even if the videos are not adult in any way shape or form.
Although if you are interested in the adult film and video industry I will throw some links your way so you can better inform yourself about how to do that.
Aside from ANY adult content, you can take film of a countryside or some beautiful trees swaying in the wind and depending on the quality and lighting conditions you could have a very popular video that will be used by many people or exclusively by only one company/person.
With that being said, make sure you get a release form or whatever necessary information from the people you film (if in public) so that way you can use it on certain stock footage sites (that I'll list later on) because they are very strict when it comes to copyright and any permission necessary from the individuals filmed.
CHAPTER 2 - Photography
With the various different stock photographry websites there are some key rules you want to keep in mind even though others are less strict, the rules that have been laid out by the other companies help build your portfolio and also help you advertise and sell by accurately labelling your photos.
You'll want to write down the exact name of the plants, flowers, and trees.
For instance if you took a picture of some daisies you'll want to write the exact name as best as you can like "Bellis perennis" this is important because professional companies will try to be as specific as they can so if you don't have your photos labeled appropriately someone else will get the sale and your prospects won't even see your photographs. Now that doesn't mean you just want to put the scientific name, think like your customers and label your photos according to how you think they will search and find your photos, use keywords that are common as well as specific it can only improve your chances.
You'll also want to get a release form or permission from any and all models (people) in your photos, this is to avoid any problems with you being sued for taking photos you shouldn't be or making money off of the model without their permission.
Don't take a million pictures of your pets, unless you own a siberian tiger or some other exotic animal you know everyone is interested in photographically.
Now if you plan on taking some really breath-taking landscape photos you'll want to know what the hottest selling way to present and edit your photos.
It's called HDR Photography, for the sake of this article I won't go into a great amount of detail but you can learn more about HDR Photography from these links.
There is a program that will make all of the headaches melt away once you understand the concept of HDR Photography.
I'll give a quick run-down incase you're too lazy to go to the above links.
It is essentially taking 2 or more different exposures of the same photo and "perfecting" the shadows and lighting to create a spectacular photograph just like you see in some magazines.
The best program out there which I suggest you buy...
iis called PhotoMatrix Pro.
(You can also use Photoshop or a similar program to get the same effect but PhotoMatrix Pro makes it as easy as sliding a bunch of bars around until you think the picture looks pretty, and you can get some really spectacular results.)
You will also need to buy a tripod so you can take a few pictures without the camera moving on you, even a slight bump will mess up the shot so it's best to get a decent tripod not a shaking cheap one.
If you were taking a picture of a tree and a hill for instance you could setup the tripod, wait until the sun shines brightly and take one photo, wait until the clouds cover the sunlight and take another photo and you will end up with a very richly colored photograph if you take a couple of differently exposed shots.
okay and here is a very quick list of things to keep in mind for starting out to be a stock photographer from sratch.
do not add a watermark (name) or anything to the photo.
do not take photos of copyrighted material, like paintings or logos or magazines,art or ads and if you do you'll have to artistically edit it out or professionally edit it out.
they must be your original photography.
Any image of an identifiable person must be accompanied by a model release. Model releases are available on most of the websites for stock photography or can be found on the internet simply by using google and most time they must be submitted digitally, most stock photo sites do not accept model releases faxed, mailed, or any hard copy releases. For submissions containing nude content of artistic value, the model must look at least 25 years of age and the submission must be accompanied by a photo ID of the model. The decision to accept or reject an image containing nudity will be made according to the sole discretion of most of the stock photo sites (that actually accept nude material.)
Submissions depicting a minor must be accompanied by a model release that was signed by that minor's parent or legal guardian. If you do not have a model release and your image is newsworthy or culturally significant, they will most times accept the image for editorial use only - meaning that it will not be available for any commercial use. Submissions that are generic family snapshots or other portraits are not newsworthy and will not be accepted as editorial.
DO NOT Frame your work at all.
Don't send the same image with slight variations on the angle.
Don't send dark or muddy travel pictures.
Don't submit photos taken from inside an airplane or moving automobile. Consider your composition carefully.
Images must be at least 2.5MP (2.5 Megapixels/2.5 Million Pixels). To calculate the number of pixels in a photo - multiply the width by the height. For example - a photo that's 1700x1300 is 2.21 million pixels. The minimum size for new photographers is now 4.0MP (for most sites.)
Do not resize your photos more than 5%
Most of this information can be found on the main stock photo websites, I've borrowed a bit from their sites because it is extremely frustrating to get excited go out and take a bunch of photographs only to find out you forgot to write the names of the flowers down or get peoples written permission to photograph them.
Remember with photography try to tell a story or just be as creative as you can, your photos don't have to be HDR but it can make a tremendous difference if you give PhotoMatrix Pro a try and if you like it make sure you buy it, we all have to help eachother out.
CHAPTER 3 - Voice Talents
Now I'm going to tell you the truth here, you will most likely need a fairly high quality microphone to get the extremely high paying jobs in this field but that doesn't mean you can't help someone make their ebook into an audiobook or help with an internet cartoon. Point being there are lots of options out there and sometimes it's the content that is more important than the quality of the recording itself, with that being said, if you can save up and get a decent microphone it will definitely be worth it.
The internet revolutionized the way you can use your voice to make money online, it's so simple now, no fancy software or techniques are really needed because you can find most of the necessary software for free online, the hardest part is finding the work or the people who need or require your services but I'll show you exactly where to go to find jobs and/or ideas to get started.
Of course the first thing you need is a USB microphone (or a cheap PC microphone will do for now) the next thing you need is a program to record your audio. I'll give you a bunch of choices depending on your preference because there's free programs and programs you can "find" online that you can use for free until you can afford them. Some of the easiest jobs out there are reading someones recipe book outloud or their marketing ebook, essentially what I'm saying is, if you can read outloud to yourself and record the results make some slight adjustments to it or in some cases just give the client your rough work and have them fix it up, the point is anyone can do this type of work. If you think you have a unique voice whether that is bad or good someone can use your "talent." You could be "that guy/gal from the radio commercials" people will be asking where they know you from because of your voice, or you could just keep it a secret and collect the benefits.

So, what is an open source content management system? It's a software program that is adaptable to all websites that helps to organize the content on the website. It doesn't matter if it is text, video, music, pictures, or whatever, your content will be organized. It doesn't take someone who is skilled to operate these systems either. Someone who has little knowledge or few computer skills could easily operate the open source content management systems because it pretty much does all of the work for you.
Joomla is a perfect example of an open source CMS. It actually is the most popular CMS on the market today. It doesn't matter how big or how small the website is, Joomla can handle it. Large corporations use it for intranet and internet communications, and it works as well for the small family website. Because of its popularity, Joomla looks like it will be around for a long time, so getting support for the software in the future, should prove to be no problem at all. Joomla provides the basic framework for software applications, but because it is an open source code, anyone can develop a module that will take the basics to unlimited dimensions. Because of this, the possibilities for add on programs are endless. Most modules are available for free from downloads on the creator's websites; however, you could have modules developed for which a developer could charge you. Modules available are Rss feeds, polls and the like. There are so many endless opportunities with Joomla software.
WordPress is another example of an open source content management system. It is also a blog publishing system. The Wordpress CMS have proven to have some vulnerability when it comes to security. Even though they register as less critical, security could be at risk when you use WordPress CMS. WordPress will support only one web blog per application. Themes and widgets are highly popular with the WordPress CMS. It also supports the pingback and trackback features that are so popular today.
Drupal is used as a back end content management system, whether it is for large scale political websites or small accounts. It is able to support multiple user accounts, customizable layouts, Rss feeds, flexible account privileges, internet forums and the like. It is written in PHP and can run from any computing platform that supports both a web server and a database. It was designed to allow third parties to add applications and for this reason it is often referred to as a content management framework. Core modules include comments, forums, polls, multi-level menu systems, advanced search functions, user profiles, multi-site support, multiple user content editing and creation and openID support. Drupal has a lot to offer its users.
No matter which open content management system you decide to use, just make sure you choose the right one. Each CMS offers different functions and uses and has different modules available at present. (You can always have modules developed if needed.)
