Scott Fox in his book called “Inter­net Riches” men­tions a term called “analy­sis paral­y­sis” that has affected me for years and pre­vented me from real­iz­ing my dreams of mak­ing addi­tional streams of income.  What is “analy­sis paral­y­sis”?  It is over ana­lyz­ing what needs to be done to do some­thing but never exe­cut­ing to make it […]

One of the char­ac­ter­is­tics I have noticed in all of my surf­ing on the Inter­net is that many peo­ple assume what they know are com­mon knowl­edge and should be per­fectly obvi­ous to the rest of us.
This is espe­cially true with tech­nol­ogy sub­jects.  It is often hard to under­stand the con­text of what peo­ple are say­ing because […]

Inte­grat­ing an effec­tive search tool into my new blog turned out to be much sim­pler than I expected. It is a good way to “hit at least THREE birds with one stone”, so to speak.

Pat O’Bryan’s book, “Your Portable Empire: How to Make Money Any­where While Doing What You Love” intro­duced me to the con­cept of making/generating income — poten­tially gen­er­ous amounts of income –from pro­duc­ing “intel­lec­tual prop­erty”.   The author explains that nearly any­one can pro­duce intel­lec­tual prop­erty or prod­ucts wor­thy of sale.
O’Bryan was a for­mer musi­cian who was eking […]

If you have never heard of this book, or you have heard of the book and yet never read it, you owe it to your­self to pick up a copy at your ear­li­est con­ve­nience.  In “The 4-Hour Work­week: Live Any­where and Join the New Rich” , author and pro­duc­tiv­ity expert Tim­o­thy Fer­riss not only writes […]

My wife and I recently pub­lished a gluten-free cook­book enti­tled Gluten-Free with Love for peo­ple who suf­fer gluten intol­er­ance due to Celiac’s Dis­ease, Irri­ta­ble Bowel Syn­drome, etc.   We thought oth­ers would like to make the same com­fort foods that taste like the recipes they grew up with, with­out the nasty side-effects from gluten intolerance.    […]

I love the con­cept of affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing.  Why?  There are sev­eral good reasons:

It makes it pos­si­ble for you to pur­sue your pas­sion (for me, find­ing out ways to make non-job income) and get paid for it.
Unlike a reg­u­lar job, with affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing, the harder you work, the more you get paid.  (I know there are caveats […]

If you are still using a plain old generic text edi­tor to sup­port your web­site or blog, I strongly encour­age you to use the freely avail­able Notepad++ avail­able here or do a Google search for “Notepad++”.
Notepad++ has many pow­er­ful fea­tures that will make your life eas­ier.  It sup­ports tra­di­tional edit­ing func­tions you would expect, plus:

It […]

Many ideas for gen­er­at­ing alter­nate income include build­ing a web­site (which includes blogs).   In most cases, you will need a domain name, such as learn4me.com.  Choos­ing a domain name can be chal­leng­ing since many of the “.com” sites have been taken and it is dif­fi­cult to come up with a name that is:

Mem­o­rable — This is […]
