What Are RSS Feeds?
RSS stands for "really simple syndication", and as the name suggests, it is relatively easy to take advantage of RSS to make money.
There are many ways you can profit from RSS data feeds. To begin with, since this is a new technology, most people are afraid to jump in and learn how to take advantage of it. This makes it a great opportunity for you because there is less competition.

In the same way you generate traffic, subscribers and money by writing and submitting articles to article directories, you can do the same thing with RSS feeds.
You simply create your RSS feed and then submit it to the various RSS feed directories.
The links within your feeds need to point back to your websites, affiliate links and opt-in list pages so that you can make money.

On the Internet content is king and webmasters are always on the lookout for free content. Especially nowadays, with the Google Adsense craze, a lot of Internet marketers are creating tons of websites constantly with page generators and free content.
This is why an RSS feed will be picked up and used on lots of different websites, and the smart marketers that use RSS feeds stand to profit wildly from this situation.
Since you will be submitting the RSS feed to directories, it is important to use an attractive title, including related keywords. This way, people looking for content will find it when doing a search in RSS feed directories.
Now that you have a fair understanding of what RSS is, and how you can create your own feed, here are some creative ways to put the power of RSS to work and bring in profits:

5. Use RSS data feed content from other authors to create a content site using a page generator. Once the content site is done you can add Adsense and related affiliate links.

Where Do I Find Good Video Games?
You know, nobody likes a cheater. But when it comes to discovering video game cheats, "cheating" isn't what you're doing. I prefer to think of it as "discovering shortcuts, tips and tricks," or video game hints.
http://nehoma.com/bilris610
Video games have gotten so complex, since the days of Pong and PacMan, that the game authors have purposely thrown in some back doors and other shortcuts to aid the weary player. The problem is, most of these back doors are so well hidden that these same authors have to leak the game cheats or no one would ever find them on their own.
And it's not only the blood and guts video games that offer cheats. Take the perfectly bloodless "Finding Nemo" for the GameBoy Advanced. Who'd ever guess that there were at least six video game cheat codes hidden there?
http://nehoma.com/bilris610
Don't make the mistake of thinking that it's just the handhelds either. If you play a video game online, like XBox Live, for example, there are a whole slew of video game hints available.
Of course, video game cheat codes and game hints are sort of useless if you don't own any video games. And that's where video game web sites come in...
http://nehoma.com/bilris610
Any web site worth visiting will not only have video game reviews and cheats for you to peruse, but they will also have game walkthroughs. Video game walkthroughs differ from cheats in that they actually "walk you through" the process of achieving some goal. Video game cheats, on the other hand, are often cryptic one or two liners like "Enter xx312 in the password field."
There are different types of video game reviews. Each have their good and bad points. Professional video game reviews are typically written by paid reviewers who work for video game magazines. These are generally well-written, in depth, and definitely worth reading. The other most common writer of video game reviews are the actual end users. While an end user will generally have spent a great deal more time actually playing the various video games on the most popular video game systems, you'll often find that they are men and women of little words. It's not unusual to see a review that says "Wow! Kick Bu** man. I love it!" Now, that's probably actually saying quite a bit about a particular video game, but -- your mileage may vary.
http://nehoma.com/bilris610
The key point to remember is that you don't want to invest in a video game until at least a couple of people have taken the time to write a review of the game. Of course, if everyone took this advice then there wouldn't be any video game review on any game web sites, because everyone would be waiting for someone else to write the review.
Right up there with video game reviews are video game previews. A video game preview is a lot like a movie trailer. They bundle all of the really exciting parts together and give you a fast and furious glimpse hoping that you'll believe that the entire video game is actually as cool as the 90 seconds of video game previews that they let you get a peek at.
The video game industry is at a crossroads. With more and more people clicking the play game online switch, and video game systems like XBox Live and all of the XBox video games out there, it is quite possible that the days of jamming your joystick alone in your room are slated to become "back in the day." As more and more video game systems opt for Internet connectivity, you're likely to find that you never have to play video games alone again.

Employment and Wealth
Ok, you may not win any awards for the cover letter that you enclose to your resume, but you may increase your odds it actually getting read, if you follow a few simple steps.
1. Keep it brief. Your resume is the document that conveys your qualifications, therefore your cover letter need not go on and on about how wonderful you are.
2. Remember it serves a purpose. It is announcing you – and your enclosed information, your resume.
3. Tell them what you’re doing: I’m applying for the position of… Enclosed is my resume for the position of …
4. Clearly state what position you’re applying for. Don’t assume the Human Resources person will automatically know what job you want or that they only have one opening.
5. Highlight a few of your strong suits. Although brevity is the key here, you don’t want to merely say, “Here’s my resume. Bub Bye.”
6. Don’t be redundant with contact information. All that pertinent information should be on your resume.
7. Don’t staple your cover letter to your resume. Often photocopies need to be made and it just frustrates the person making the copies to have to remove your staples. Use a paperclip if you feel the need to attach it; else just send it on top of your resume.
8. Typos. That’s an obvious one. It’s hard to proof your own work. Find one other person to give both your cover letter and resume a glance over. You’re dead in the water if your cover letter has misspellings, poor grammar or typos.
Below is a same letter you can use as a guide:
---
Date
Human Resources, COMPANY NAME HERE
RE: NAME OF VACANT POSITION
Enclosed please find my resume’. I am very much interested in working with you as your POSITION TITLE. As you will see from my enclosed resume’ I am qualified in a variety of areas. (Or I am uniquely qualified for this position because of my vast experience in …). My college degrees are in Business Administration with a minor in Management. I have spent the last two decades performing INSERT SIMILAR RESPONSIBILITIES.
I am anxious to discuss this opportunity with you further.
Respectfully,
Yor Name

You as can see, the above cover letter is short and to the point. It serves a purpose of prefacing your resume. Don’t waste your time going on and on and on. It will not get read. As it stands, you have a 50/50 chance that anyone will even read your cover letter. Are you willing to take 50% odds that it will be read, only to have a lousy cover letter that will essentially hinder your resume from consideration? Follow the above simple steps and you’ll make a great first impression. Of course, it’s up to you to have knowledge, skills and abilities to back it; but at least you’re starting off right!

Could these be the Reasons Your MLM Business is Failing?
Today, many people are interested in obtaining financial freedom. Many also will look at a multi-level marketing (MLM) business as a way to reach their goals. The problem is that about 95% of those who get involved with MLM fail. Let's take a closer look at why many such home-based businesses are set up to fail from the start.
Reason #1: Most opportunities are way too similar. They just try too hard to copy each other. Plus, the products and services are boring. To make matters worse, the marketplace the company is serving isn't growing very quickly. This type of home-based business screams failure.
Reason #2: Many home-based MLM business opportunities force people to do everything by themselves. It's unfortunate, but businesses are loaded with all kinds of headaches and hassles. It's a huge struggle just to keep things going, market, and build a list. There are too many challenges and no help! The end result of this type of opportunity: people will quit!
Reason #3: Most home-based business opportunities will never make their affiliates rich or obtain financial freedom. Scams abound. This is very sad since most people's goal is to develop long-term wealth. The bottom line: people must look for a business that is already making other average people wealthy, and that is easily duplicated. The fact is there are legitimate home-based business opportunities that offer this.
Reason #4: The majority of home-based businesses do not pay much in upfront cash. Unfortunately, many times people are paid in small sums. Low cost products and services are offered with a small percentage profit. To make matters worse, people put in tremendous effort and time only to wait around to get paid. No one should ever get involved with this type of opportunity if they want to succeed.
Reason #5: Many MLM home-based businesses are filled with gaps and missing pieces. There is so much hype. However, when it all dies down and one takes a closer look at what's being offered, they find the work-at-home opportunity is pure fluff and fiction. Basically, the home-based business opportunity is just a good idea that someone is trying. If the opportunity is researched, what usually is discovered is that only the heavy hitters make the money, the company behind it is getting rich, and the products and services being sold are only to the distributors! This would be a horrible type of business to become involved in.
Reason #6 Many MLM home-based business opportunities are very risky. They are filled with problems, pain, and frustration. As a result, business opportunity seekers view them as a risk and don't want to become involved with them. They know starting a business from home has to be right and if they see red flags, they will avoid it. Sometimes, people become so skeptical that they never choose a business at all. They fail to realize the right business opportunity can be found and worked without the headaches.
The truth is, home-based MLM businesses can work. It simply takes time and careful research to choose the right one. Avoid the problems discussed in this article and you will be sure to find the MLM home business for you.

Home Business
Many today are looking to start a home-based business. Countless programs claim that they can make folks rich overnight. However, scams abound. So, what are business opportunity seekers to do to when looking to work from home? How can they tell if an opportunity is not only legitimate, but also a moneymaker?
The answer is to use this six step question formula when looking to start a business from home. If you answer yes to these questions, chances are, you have found a red-hot business opportunity with the potential to make you wealthy. Let's discover what the six step question formula is.
#1. Find out if you can make huge sums of money without selling anything. Is this possible? Yes! There are business opportunities that do not involve selling. This works primarily if the business uses a powerful Direct Response Marketing approach. The beauty of this approach is that it attracts all the right people and turns away the wrong ones. Folks are brought into the home-based business system automatically! Direct Response Marketing also eliminates the biggest objections, educates people about the major advantages of a product or service, and best of all, it makes people want to buy now! Therefore, finding an opportunity like this is crucial.
#2. Discover if the work at home opportunity offers help, support, and guidance from experts with a proven track record of making millions of dollars. This will require some research. It's safe to say that many opportunities will fail miserably in this area. However, if such a home business opportunity is found, your chance of success will be very high.
#3. Check to see if the company offers long-term opportunity. In other words, is the system the company has in place designed to make people money for the next 10, 20, and even 30 years? Avoid opportunities that sound golden, but will lose their glitter very quickly.
#4. Determine whether the home-based business opportunity can produce automatic income. It is useless to become involved in a business opportunity that will take months before any results or income can be seen. Why? People will usually become discouraged and quit if efforts are not rewarded in a timely manner. Avoid opportunities that will take months before any type of cash reward will be seen.
#5. Always ask if the start up is easy. If it will take three months to start up the business, why even become involved?
#6. This could be the most important question. Never forget to ask if there is an exit strategy. This is not being negative at all. On the contrary, it is being smart! Remember, there are no guarantees in life and business; things can and do change. Thus, it is always smart and never negative to have a back-up plan or exit strategy.
Starting a business from home is a dream that many people have. However, one does not want to make a decision blindly and without careful thought and consideration. You can't go wrong when using this six step question formula. Your odds for success will be significantly higher if you do!
