Can You Get Quickly Rich Online?

Many people from all around the world seek to earn some good money in a very quick time. Some of these people try their luck on the internet. I don’t know why but many people believe that there is some secret way of making some really good money online in a very quick time.

I have seen so many people talking about this quick way of becoming rich in different forums. New members at forums come and ask the question that how they can start to earn money online like other people and that they prefer to start this work as soon as possible. They think that there is some kind of gold mine on the internet where people go and collect gold for themselves.

In reality, making money online is one of the most difficult things to do. Most importantly, the people who actually earn some money online: they work for quite some time before they are able to make some cash for themselves.

Remember: There is no short cut to become rich on the internet.

There is no gold mine on the internet where one can become rich in quick time. No person or company is giving away cash for free.

On the other hand, it is true that there are some legit online opportunities via which we can earn some good amount of money. But these opportunities cannot make you rich in very quick time and for these opportunities, one need to do some really hard work.

Nothing in this world is free.

In order to earn money online, you will have to do some kind of job on the internet. Some people make useful websites and then earn some it: some people do blogging, some do freelancing etc. In all these jobs, one thing is common: that is, if you want to earn some money on the internet, then you will have to do some real hard work.

Forget about getting rich in quick time: start doing some real job online so that you can make money for real.

Rich Vs. Wealthy – An Explanation of the Difference Between Rich Vs. Wealthy

Over the last several months I’ve noticed quite a lot of chatter on the internet regarding the “differences” between being RICH vs. WEALTHY so I thought I’d weigh in with a few thoughts of my own especially since I promote wealth building not building riches.

For the purposes of this article we will not be talking about emotional or spiritual wealth, though they are certainly important. Those are entirely different topics and warrant their own discussion.

So do you want to be rich or wealthy and is there really a difference? I must preference this discussion by stating that it is certainly better to be either of them than neither of them. With that said, we will first want to get a rough idea of what the two definitions mean so let’s pull out the old dictionary. “The Lexicon Webster Dictionary” defines “rich” as having abundant material possessions; well supplied; abounding; producing abundantly; productive; wealthy.

Well that didn’t really clarify the definition for me so let’s look up “wealthy”. The same dictionary defines “wealthy” as having wealth; affluent; opulent; ample; material possessions in all their variety; “a collective term for riches.” It appears that Mr. Webster didn’t have a firm grasp on the differences either.

OK, I guess the differences are in the “eye of the beholder” so to speak. So let’s try to define them ourselves. First think about being rich. Imagine that you wake up tomorrow, your wish was granted and you are now among the “newly rich”. What images immediately come to mind? Next take just a moment to jot down what being rich would mean to you. Would it mean a new car, bigger house, a boat, long vacations?

Now repeat these two steps but this time your genie was very good to you and “poof” now you wake up “wealthy”. Did you upgrade your list of material things? This time instead of thinking about a new car were you imaging a Ferrari, Bentley or Lamborghini? And the bigger house is now a mansion and the vacations are now on your yacht aren’t they?

Sustaining your riches makes you wealthy.

Now comes the most important question, the one that I believe really distinguishes the rich from wealthy. Was your wealth sustainable? Did you still see yourself on that yacht in your “golden” years? Wealth is sustainable. Wealth can endure for generations. Rather than working for their money wealthy people know how to make their money work for them.

Being Rich is a very good thing but when you stop working for the money you will eventually run out of it unless you have studied the “science” of making your money work for you. With the right investments your money can work for you 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. When you learn to make your money work harder for you than you work for it, you will be well on your way to becoming wealthy.

The Invest To Retire website promotes your wealth building education rather than an education in building riches. Riches can often be fleeting. As a familiar example, it is widely reported that 7 out of 10 lottery winners are bankrupt within a few short years after they win. Remember that all 10 were “rich” but 70% didn’t know how to stay that way. They didn’t understand or perhaps even care to learn how to turn their riches into long term wealth.

Let’s assume that the day before you woke up “rich” you were within the average of American households earning a salary of around $43,000 annually. Chances are that you may consider a $1,000,000 lottery jackpot as being rich. Would you quit your job?

In order to maintain your current average income of $43,000 per year, your $1 million jackpot would be depleted in 23 years. Remember, a majority of lottery winners are flat broke within a few years after winning. Assuming you did not change your lifestyle or spending habits, you’d have 23 years of “income” at the same level you’re used to.

Twenty three years may seem like a long time, but if you hit the jackpot in your early twenties, you’ll be out of money by age 50. Still thinking of quitting your job? Probably not.

So, what does it take to maintain the same $43,000 per year, allow you to quit your job, and still be able to keep $1 million for posterity? The simple answer is investing your windfall and earning compound interest on your investments. A modest 4.3% will keep you at your current income level (before taxes), allow you to quit your job and be able to maintain $1 million. The most important thing to remember is that the $1 million drives your interest earnings and you’ll never want to tap into that principal.

But, who wins the lottery and just wants to maintain their current lifestyle? I’m willing to bet its not you.

If you want to double your current income, quit your job and maintain that $1 million, you’ll have to earn a consistent 9% on your principal. Again, the difference between being rich and wealthy is sustainability. Without sustaining your principal, you’ll be rich but not wealthy and your riches will surely deplete to nothing.

Odds are that you won’t win the lottery or even inherit a large sum of money. No worries, though, you can still amass wealth starting with what you currently have.

Just like when you were a baby you had to crawl before you could walk, the same is true with investing. You will need to educate yourself about the basics of making investments that produce safe, secure, consistent returns, making your investments work for you. Remember the proverb: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. Nowhere does this hold truer than with building your wealth.

Even if you are not currently a high income earner you can become rich in a relatively short time if you actually implement investing strategies that produce high and consistent returns on your investments. And if you learn to mange your investments to make them work for you, you will be on your way to becoming wealthy.

Being rich is a function of how much you earn. Don’t confuse being rich with earning a high income but at the same time drowning in debt. Becoming rich requires the knowledge to make money or in some cases luck. Becoming wealthy requires the knowledge to use that money to make even more.
Recently I heard a straight forward definition of rich vs. wealthy that I like. It was defined as “a pro athlete is rich and the guy that signs his check (team owner) is wealthy”. I sort of think of Wealthy as Rich on steroids.

How To Become Rich – The Biggest Misconception About How To Become Rich

The biggest misconception about how to become rich is that there is a way to do it quickly. The truth is that becoming rich isn’t an event, it’s a process.

Let me explain.

First, realize that becoming rich should be more properly referred to as becoming wealthy and building wealth should be your goal. No matter what you call it, you must dedicate yourself to plan for it if you want to achieve it.

With the exception of inheriting loads of money from a relative or picking the winning numbers for the lottery, your amassed wealth will likely be a direct result of diligent planning on your part. This planning must include your willingness to be patient in building your wealth. That isn’t to say that you shouldn’t strive for immediate profits. To the contrary, your goal should be to consistently achieve immediate profits and then roll those profits into your next investment.

As part of your planning, you’ll want to make sure that you achieve those consistent profits by choosing investing options that are most likely to always have positive returns instead of those options that fluctuate. Fluctuating returns are counter to your overall investing goals as it is the consistency of positive returns that you’re seeking.

Do you know about compounding interest?

Compounding interest is the concept of earning interest on your investment and then rolling that interest into the principal of your next investment. Compounding interest is the most powerful tool in creating wealth. True wealth is built over time.

Here’s an example:

If, at age 30 you placed $5,000 in an investment earning 8% interest and let it grow until age 60 without adding additional principal, your compounded interest investment would be worth $50,300.

If you had placed that same $5,000 at 8% at the age of 20 without adding additional principal and let it grow to age 60, your compounded interest investment would be worth over $108,000.

Waiting those 10 years to invest just cost you $58,000.

What’s more, if you had added an additional principal amount of only $500 per year, your total compounded interest investment would be worth a whopping $248,000!

Now, suppose that your investment fluctuated – sometimes losing money and sometimes making money. Those losing trends would have reduced the amount available for compounding your interest.

Begin using secure investment options as early as possible and watch your wealth grow exponentially. The power of compounded interest is amazing and it is often declared as “the most powerful force in the universe.”

SEO Tools You Need for Website Optimization

A few basic but necessary tools for use in your SEO work

There are a number of online tools that I use in my SEO efforts. Some of these tools are free and some cost money. I suppose you could do your SEO work without most of these tools, but who would want to? They make life easier, and they make your SEO efforts more efficient and effective.

A good keyword tool is critically important

I have to tell you, as far as I am concerned the single most important tool in your tool kit is a keyword tool. As I’ve said before, if your keyword phrases are not ever searched for then your search engine optimization efforts are in vain. First you need to find out what people are searching for in regards to your topic, and then do your optimization.

There are a lot of keyword tools out there if you do a little searching. Some are free, but I use WordTracker which costs me about $60 for a month subscription. It’s an online tool, and you just log in and use it whenever you need it. I usually end up subscribing for a month every few months. The thing is, it is so valuable that it would be worth way more than 100 times that price. Thank god for competition.

With WordTracker you can find out how many times a keyword phrase is searched for, how many sites are competing with you for that keyword phrase, and how many times your search engine listing would be seen per day if you were on the 1st page of the search engine results page. It also finds keyword phrases for you in various ways. Once you subscribe you have a wealth of information available as to how to effectively use the tool.

Google webmaster tools are invaluable in achieving a high ranking on Google.

I am a firm believer in using Google’s webmaster tools. For crying out loud, if Google is willing to tell you what errors and problems your site has, then you should listen! The webmaster tools tell you things like which keywords it sees in your sites content, what it sees in the link text on other sites that point to yours, which of your pages are being pointed to from other sites, and more. The tools tell you when you have duplicate title tags, not enough words in your meta description and when the meta description is duplicated on more than one page.

You can submit a sitemap to make sure all of your pages get spidered. Sitemaps can be very simple, consisting of just a list of URLs in your site. Google spiders your sitemap within hours of it being submitted, and it then tells you if there are any errors. It’s simply amazing.

Google Analytics is another good SEO tool

Google analytics can provide you with a wealth of information about your visitors, where they come from, and the paths through your site they take, the entry and exit pages and tons more valuable information. And it’s free. You can see at a glance your visitor bounce rate, number of visits over time, page views, and keyword phrases used to find you and so much more that I don’t have the space here to go into details. It’s very easy to check out, so check it out.

Link Popularity Checking Tool

Marketleap has a great little tool for checking your link popularity; marketleap.com. This tool lets you measure your website’s online awareness and overall visibility. This SEO tool helps website owners find out who is linking to their site and gives a useful benchmarking report to quickly show where you stand in comparison to competitors and other major online players. You can also track your links over time by checking every so often. The site keeps records; some of mine now go back 4 years!

The Compete tool helps you compete!

I’ll conclude with a wonderful tool I use to find out the approximate traffic that any particular web site has; compete.com. You put in the URL of the site you are interested in and the tool gives you a number of statistics including the approximate traffic that the site receives. You can compare up to 5 URLs at a time and the tool gives you both numbers and graphs to view. Obviously the more traffic a site gets the more accurate the estimate. I’ve tried several and compete gives me the most accurate figures of the ones I’ve tried.

I like to see what kind of traffic a site gets when I am considering trading links and when targeting specific keyword phrases I like to scope out the competition to see if it’s worth doing.

There are many more tools that you can find online, but this gives you a very good start, and possible all you really need to perform expert professional SEO on your web pages.
