Monday, November 8, 2010, Building Passive Income Streams – Anyone Can Do It
People often ask me if all I do is sell on eBay. No. I have many other income streams. eBay is just one of them. The key to making money with multiple streams of income is persistence, time, and commitment. For example, here is my history on eHow – an article writing site.
I started writing for eHow back in June 2007. I didn’t even know the site paid its writers. I was just writing articles about how to do stuff on eBay. In January of 2008, money started showing up in my Paypal account. I have submitted 316 articles to eHow since September 2007. The last article I submitted was in February 2010. (I stopped submitting articles when the system changed and it became more time consuming to write there.) Click here to see my profile. My articles have had over 1 million views in the last 3 years and I am now making about $35 a day and haven’t submitted anything in over 8 months. I now make enough money from this income stream to pay my mortgage. Continued below:

I frequently meet folks involved in non-profit or charitable efforts who have no idea about how to leverage the free services found on the Internet. I asked them to check on this site and send any questions they may have because there are a lot of us willing to help at no charge.
I found this article By Rich Brooks, at Social Media Examiner. on November 2, 2010. Hopefully it will help and help you when you are trying to assist those groups.
Have fun

Click on 21 Ways Non-Profits Can Leverage Social Media | Social Media Examiner
“By Rich Brooks, Published November 2, 2010: Like their for-profit brethren, many non-profits understand that using social media can help them reach and engage their audience, create momentum and build community. However, there’s uncertainty around how to create a sustainable social media campaign, although the tools are plentiful and often free.“
It looks like this feature may be used to help or hurt online ecommerce. This needs to be evaluated in depth.

Bing Social Search: Are ‘Likes’ the New Links? | Practical eCommerce
Organic search revolves increasingly around personalization, delivering relevance not just to a searcher’s literal query, but also to the implied intent, geographic location, and historical preferences.
Earlier this month Bing took another step toward integrating Facebook’s social data into the personalization mix by launching “Liked Results and Facebook Profile Search” in its primary web search results. Bing discussed the launch in its blog post “Bing Gets More Social With Facebook.”
Talk about time management. About the only thing better than the information in here is removing and blocking all games. Here is another Practical eCommerce article that we can all use.
Managing Pop-Ups in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome | Practical eCommerce
Ecommerce professionals spend many hours each day online. They monitor their businesses, check email, market products, post to social media sites, watch the competition, or otherwise do any one of a hundred business-related activities.
Into the midst of this online experience come pop-ups—ads, forms, controls, whatever. Perhaps, most of the time, you don’t want pop-ups interrupting your browsing. But other times, you do. For example, if you are looking at prices or specifications on a competitor’s site, the “compare products” feature probably opens in a pop-up window. Some ecommerce platforms also use pop-ups to display reports or other information. And, more specifically, if you use PayPal to process online orders, you must allow pop-ups for at least the PayPal domain.
In this article, I will describe how to find and use the pop-up manager in three popular web browsers: Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) 9, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrom…READ ON..

via Google Apps: Free Business Tools, Plus Collaboration Services | Practical eCommerce
As Google expands the number of tools and services it offers, it also seeks to package those services so they can be linked with each other and between the main user and other collaborators. This is the idea behind Google Apps, a suite of productivity and collaboration tools.
Google launched its Apps program in 2006, with “Gmail For Your Domain,” with 2 GB of storage and the ability to link the Gmail account to a custom domain name. Later that year it included other services like Calendar, Talk and Page Creator.
