Everyone is talking about. It seems to be the lifeblood of the economy. It’s the Stock Market. If you want to make money in the stock market, you have to be in it to win. You can’s be risk adverse. If you’re risk adverse, you need to stick to playing nickel slots at the casinos with the blue haired ladies.
Back to the stock market. If you want to get rich in the stock market you need to read some books and learn how it operates. You can’t just open a newspaper and start picking. Well, you can, but then you are just on the road to losing all your money. I had a cousin that thought he was going to get rich in the stock market. He put $25,000 in a stock and lost almost all of it. IF you want to make money in the stock market you have to do your research like I said. Another way to learn about the stock market is to take some college classes at you local community college. They usually have some type of continuing education program where you can learn everything about the basics of making money in the stock market, to options trading and all sort of other angles.
Also if you want to make money in the stock market, don’t buy any of the prepackaged “red light/green light” software. Unless it can predict the future, it’s worthless. No to mention it’s also expensive.
May people who want to make money in the stock market also choose to go with an online broker house. These can be anything along the lines of Etrade and Ameritrade. When shopping around for a broker house to make money in the stock market, keep your eye on trade fees. The fees can quickly add up and eat into your profits of you trade too often. So if you tend to shuffle your stock around and you’re not a long term investor, you want to keep these fees to a minimum.
Don’t listen to friends who have “tips” on how to make money in the stock market. Most people like to brag and don’t know what they are talking about. If they are making so much money in the stock market, they would not be working a 9 - 5 job and standing around a water cooler talking about how they are making so much money in the stock market.
Opening an broker account is not difficult. You request and application or fill out an online form. Most houses have an online application or they will request that you visit a nearby brokerage office. Then you just simply open the account. They will probably have a minimum account amount that you need to start with. It’s usually around $2,000 - $5,000. So you see, if you want to start making money in the market, all you need is around $2,000. Who knows, you could possible multiply that into several thousand dollars and eventually become a stock market tycoon like Warren Buffet, who’s the richest man in the world.
But back to making money in the stock market. These are tough times to be trying to make money in the stock market. The Dow Jones is getting hammered and people who don’t know what they are doing are getting their accounts wiped out. Just today the Dow Jones Industrial is down almost 300 points, so anyone that has money in the stock market is pretty much losing at this stage. So those who are trying to make money in the market better know what they are doing. Especially with it being an election year. This tends to make the stock market more like banking in a bad neighborhood. You don’t want to go there, but you have to at some point. You just need to know what you’re doing.
Another way to learn how to make money in the stock market is to play with “fake” money. In effort to get your business, most online brokerages will have a “free” way to play fake money in the stock market. You pick your stocks and they give you an account with “fake” money. So when you pick bad stocks, you don’t lose anything. And when you pick good stocks, you don’t make anything. It’s all about the learning experience.
So if you want to make money in the stock market, you need to buy some books, take a college continuing education class or play with the fake accounts you can set up with the online brokerage houses.

STORY
I know I have not posted on her much lately. I just have not felt like blogging and I took some time off. I have been relaxing, playing golf and trying to stay off the internet as much as possible.
Well it looks like while I was on my little vacation that Google decided to update it’s PR.
Before I went on vacation: PR 3
After vacation: PR 0.
Google kicked me in the nuts just because I decided to not sit on my computer for hours on end and actually went outdoors and enjoyed the sunshine, birds and bees for a couple weeks.
The PR rank dropped has killed my traffic and Adsense earnings. I was making $15 a day before. Now. I think I have made .50 this week.
So much for all the hard work I put in for the last year making hundreds of posts. All that efford went down the crapper just because I took a couple weeks off.
So….no more worrying about PR. I have no more desire to keep it up. I will just blog whenever I feel like blogging.
If you can’t make conversions, you can’t make any money. Landing pages are the lifeblood of your marketing campaign.
Check out this video. It explains how these guys increased conversions without changing any ad copy at all. All they did was move images around.
Pretty interesting results!

A couple months ago I wrote a little something on why buying a blog from someone else is a really a bad idea. I used momscashblog.com as an example. I told you that blogs that get purchased from the original owners usually crumble for various reasons, and I predicted that momscashblog.com would suffer the same fate as other blogs that get purchased from the original owners.
I was right.
I could tell that momscashblog.com was in trouble from the start, and there were problems going on, visitors complaining, etc. It was only a matter of time till it all went down.
Yesterday I checked on momscashblog.com to see how it was going. I was not suprised to find the new owner making a post that was accusing the former owner of ripper her off and not giving her rights to the blog. She also gave a list of excuses for her lack of knowledge and other problems with the blog related to its purchase.
Then the former owner responded, accusing the new owner of being a liar and trying to use her as a scapegoat for her failure. It was getting ugly. It was catty.
Then today, I check in to see how bad things are now. I was suprised to see that all of the new posts the new owner had made in the past two months since she purchased it….GONE. ALL OF IT.
Today is June 23rd. The last post on momscashblog.com is now showing as May 4th.
It told you so. See kiddies. DON’T BUY BLOGS FROM OTHER PEOPLE. IT’S A BAD IDEA.
Start your own blog. Build your own traffic. Build your own following. You will be glad you did.
Some of you may know him as Joe Francis, others may know him as the owner of the softcore porn video video production company, Girls Gone Wild.
Even though you may or may not agree with what Joe Francis does, you have to admit he has great vision for what will sell and he’s a great entrepreur. Joe Francis earns a reported $10 million a year from the sale of the Girls Gone Wild videos.
If you were ever curious about Joe Francis and his empire, he has thrown up a little website to let you know more about him. It’s pretty good.
Meet Joe Francis
Back in 2006 Rolling Stone Magazine did an article on Scott Storch about his outrageous fortune. It said he was worth $70 million, owned a $10 million house, wore a $3 million yellow diamond ring, owned a $20 milllion boat, and a fleet of luxury and exotic cars.
Ever since that article, there have been some rumblings about Scott Storch’s financial situation. And the news was not good.
First, his credit cards started getting declined at Miami clubs.
Then he had a $7,000 painting repossessed.
Then, Scott Storch’s boat shows up on Ebay
Then the exotic cars cars vanish, and they too start showing up on Ebay.
Now the icing on the cake. This just came out today….
