How to Make Money Online Without Spending Money

In the business world, you are required to spend money in other to get more money. This separates the serious business owners from the non-serious ones. But having an online business is different from the traditional business. In the online business, you can use a blog and make money from it. You don’t have to spend money hosting your blog or to pay for any service. If you want to make money online without spending any money, these are what you should do.

1. Get a free blog:- Any one would work just fine, but the blog of most internet marketers is blogger. This is easy to create and set up. You would have to decide if you want to make money with contextual ads or through affiliate program. After you have decided what you want to do, you would go to blogspot and publish the post you have written.


2. Get Traffic to the Blog:- After publishing your blog post, the next thing you want to do is to get traffic to the blog because traffic, your blog is like a fish swimming in the pacific ocean. Without traffic, your blog is another blog that is in the blogosphere that no one knows about. You can get traffic by commenting on other people’s blog, being active in forums, doing article marketing and social bookmarking. All these methods are free. They just require your time.

3. Track Your Traffic:- When you see that you are getting traffic to the blog, install a tracking code to see where your visitors are coming from. There are many free tracking codes to use on your blog. Check where the traffic is coming from and capitalize on that traffic. By this I mean you would continue doing what you were doing to bring more of that traffic. If you are getting traffic and you are not making any money yet, that means that you have the wrong traffic. Check your traffic stats again and see where the second source of traffic is coming from. Put more effort so that you get more of that traffic and maybe you might start making money money.

Making money with contextual ads such as adsense needs more work. It required you to get traffic from search engine to get clicks on the ads. Affiliate marketing is much easier because if you do article marketing, people would find your article from search engine and click to your blog. If you have more articles that they like, they might click on your affiliate link and buy a product you recommended. It is easier for search engine bots to see and index your article on article sites than them to index your blog because your blog don’t have much authority like the article site. It would take a while for your site to reach that type of authority.

Google Chromebook: the NewTrend of Cloud Computing

Google announced its new laptops called Chromebook, the two first devices for sale are by Samsung and Acer Inc. and are slated for release on June 15, 2011. The Chrome OS is an operating system that has been around for sometime but will now solely run the Chromebook. These laptops will have more or less no storage capacity and will store its data on Google's cloud online services. There is no such thing as a desktop in the Chrome OS, everything is done on the web. The operating system will enable users to incorporate applications like spreadsheets to be stored directly on the web instead of storing it on a PC. The Chromebooks are a new phase in low cost computing.

Chromebooks are designed for quick, convenient and secure access to the Web. Instead of installing traditional applications, web apps from the Chrome Web Store are added to the user's account for access to functions such as word processing and instant messaging. The provided software consists of the Google Chrome web browser with an integrated media player, plus a simple file manager.

Chromebook will be available in both Wi-Fi and 3G versions from both manufacturers. The Samsung Chromebook will have a 12.1 inch 1280 x 800 screen. The Acer Chromebook will have an 11.6 inch screen. Both versions will have an HD webcam and two USB 2.0 ports. The Samsung version will have Mini-VGA out while the Acer version will have HDMI output. Support for many USB devices such as cameras, mice, external keyboards and flash drives will be included, utilizing a feature similar to plug-and-play on other operating systems. Google has claimed an eight-second bootup time, and that Chromebooks would require no virus protection due to the unique nature of the hardware and software. These are not typical laptops. With a Chromebook you won't wait minutes for your computer to boot and browser to start. You'll be reading your email in seconds, Google into territory now dominated by Microsoft's ubiquitous Windows software and Apple's Mac OS. The Chromebooks also will be relatively inexpensive, from $349 to $499 with optional 3G connections.

It could be said that Google starts a revolution with the Chromebook, or you can call it just a netbook. Now the circumstance is, tablet computer like iPad is red hot all around the world, but Google is seemingly not interested in this territory and turns its head to where Microsoft has failed, the PC market, as it has achieved the tremendous success on internet and mobile market with its powerful Android operating system, Google want them all. Now the company is following in Microsoft's footsteps on these and other paths, and its efforts will be compared, and Google definitely has the advantage of learning from someone else's mistakes.

Consumers to bear brunt of diesel subsidy cut

The removal of the super subsidy for diesel next month will have a major impact on consumer prices as associations affected by the cut prepare to pass on additional fuel costs to end users.

The Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry announced last night that diesel subsidies for nine categories of commercial vehicles will be abolished effective June 1.

The nine categories comprise prime movers, general cargo movers, Luton box vans, vans, rigid lorries for bottled beverages, rigid tanker lorries for flour transport, rigid lorries for refrigerated goods, water tankers and limousine taxis.

The ministry said that all nine categories of vehicles would no longer be allowed to purchase diesel at a subsidised price of RM1.481 per litre but would still be able to purchase subsidised diesel at RM1.80 per litre at petrol stations nationwide.

The Najib administration expects to save RM659.3 million this year by removing the diesel subsidy but will still have to fork out RM116 million to subsidise the public transportation sector.

Pan-Malaysia Lorry Owners Association (PMLOA) immediate past president Er Sui See said lorry operators would almost certainly pass the additional fuel cost to consumers and manufacturers as the subsidy cut would have “a very great impact” on thin profit margins.

He said lorry operators already engage in “unhealthy practices” like overloading their trucks by at least 100 per cent just to stay profitable as tariffs for general cargo movers have been frozen by law at 16.6 sen per tonne per kilometre since 1958.

Er pointed out that a 32-sen hike from the subsidised diesel price of RM1.48 per litre to the pump price of RM1.80 was a big jump in percentage terms, saying the PMLOA might make use of a “loophole” and levy a fuel surcharge like airlines do to get around the rate cap.

“If the airplanes can add fuel surcharge why can’t lorries add fuel surcharge,” he told The Malaysian Insider.

“So we will pass back to the consumer under miscellaneous items.”

He also said the association would likely ask the government to raise tariffs first but doubted anything would come of it.

The Association of Malaysian Hauliers (AMH) similarly told The Malaysian Insider yesterday that it would only bear part of the increase as fuel costs already account for about 30 per cent of operating cost at present.

“Definitely, at the end of the day, we’ll have to absorb some (cost) and pass some on to users,” its president Datuk Ahmad Shalimin Ahmad Shaffie said.

AMH, whose members control 70 per cent of the local container haulage market, announced last month that it would raise transportation tariffs by 20 per cent on June 1 due to escalating maintenance and operation costs.

Malaysian Taxi Drivers, Limousines and Hired Car Operators Association (Petekma) president Yusuff Lahir, on the other hand, said the subsidy cut would not affect limousine taxis as they were able to charge significantly higher rates than regular taxis.

He said limousine taxis charged RM160 for a trip to Kuala Lumpur International Airport from the capital while regular taxis could only charge RM60.

He pointed out that limousine taxis could use natural gas or even petrol and still turn a handsome profit, unlike regular taxis.

“The rich man’s taxi has nothing to fear,” Yusuff said.

“I won’t appeal (the subsidy cut) on behalf of limousine taxis... They shouldn’t expect to get everything cheap from the government.”

He added that he was thankful the government did not cut subsidies for regular taxis, which he characterised as “the poor man’s taxi”.

Citigroup Singapore and Malaysia country chief economist Kit Wei Zheng said it was highly likely that a large chunk of the additional fuel cost would be passed through to consumers owing to producers’ greater pricing power in the “fairly okay” Malaysian economy.

“The risk is that a larger portion of this will be passed through to the consumer at this stage of the economic cycle,” the Singapore-based economist said.

He added that it was possible that those affected by the subsidy cut would pass on even more than the extra 32 sen per litre cost to pre-empt further price increases in future as the government rationalises its subsidy programme.

RAM Holdings Bhd chief economist Dr Yeah Kim Leng said yesterday that consumers could expect to see “almost concurrent” price hikes for goods with few substitutes and high demand.

He added that the amount and speed of pass-through would also be determined by the level of competition in the industry as well as the ability of players to absorb price increases. -TMI

Raja Petra teams up with WikiLeaks' Assange

Malaysia Today, the online portal run by self-exiled blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, has teamed up with world renowned whistle blower website WikiLeaks run by Julian Assange.

READY TO ROCK ... The whistleblowing duo Assange and Petra marking the 'smart' partnership at the Duke of York, Surrey, UK

Marking their cooperation, Petra and the Australian-born Assange signed a Memorandum of Understanding in a simple ceremony in London yesterday.

Launched in 2006, WikiLeaks, which made world headlines over its exposure of US documents in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, specialises in the publication of private, secret, and classified media from anonymous news sources, news leaks, and whistleblowers.

In February, amid revelation of diplomatic cables embarrassing governments across continents, Assange, who in 2009 was awarded Amnesty International's Media Award, appealed against a decision by a court in UK to have him extradited to Sweden to face charges related to sex crimes, which he has denied.

Petra's own whistleblower website meanwhile has been no less controversial, rocking Malaysian politics with its publication of confidential documents exposing everything from corrupt low-level civil servants to an alleged involvement of the prime minister's wife in a murder case.

Only recently, Petra granted an interview to UMNO-owned station TV3, urging authorities to investigate a statutory declaration claiming that Rosmah Mansor, the prime minister's wife, had been personally involved in the brutal murder of Mongolian agent Altantuya Shariibuu in November 2006. -HD
