It seems like everyday there is another great job opportunity to work from home. It used to be that work at home opportunities were a borderline scam job. Stuffing envelopes? Give me a break. I could never believe that stuffing envelopes could be a genuine work at home job.

Now there many legitimate opportunities for work that allows you to make ends meet and not go into the office. Some of them pay even more than a regular job would pay you.

1) Virtual Assistant. These are jobs that involve doing online work that others might find too tedious or not as profitable. Pay for quality virtual assistants can be very competitive.

2) Internet Marketing. This is a huge area and one where you can utilize many skills.

3) Freelancing. Whatever skills you have, you can sell your services as a freelancer.

4) Ebay Selling. It’s possible to buy stuff at garage sales very cheaply and then sell them on ebay for a profit.

5) Consultant. If you know how to do something or you have indepth knowledge about a product, service or process, then you can make money as a consultant.

Another question I get asked on a regular basis is how to increase web traffic. It’s tough to make any money online without traffic. If people aren’t visiting your pages, how can they complete offers? How can you increase revenue? I have a few simple ideas to increase your web traffic.

1) Leave comments on other blogs. Make the comments meaningful. Leave your web address in the space for the URL and only post a link in the comment when a post of yours actually deals with the content in question. An afternoon of blog commenting is a good way to build traffic. People will read your comment and visit your page. If they like what they see, they’ll be back.

2) Make sure you choose relevant titles and keywords in your posts so that people can find your posts when they go to the search engines.

3) Put your URL in a forum signature and make quality posts on forums related to your topic. People will visit your webpage to find out more about you.

If you can do this, you can generate some decent traffic to your site. I have more advanced ideas that I will share with you a bit later.

Investments are really at the forefront of what I am doing in my personal life. I have embarked on on 20/10 plan. The 20/10 plan is a simple plan for saving money and getting ahead in life. It’s all about ensuring the future for you and your family.

What is it? It’s about investing 20% of your income in investments that give you a decent return on your investment. Of course,you want to diversify your investments across several areas.

Another point is to invest 10% of your income in human capital. What’s that? Well, it is investing in other people to see not a monetary reward in your life but to see rewards in the lives of others or in society in general. I will be discussing more of my projects at a later date that I am financing or will be financing.

Well, it looks like the Fed did another interest rate cut in order to help improve the credit markets. They have to deal with all of these credit problem, especially in the sub prime market. I think I figured out the perfect solution to stop the hemorrhaging of money and help people at the same time. It might mean the government increases their debt, but the government already has a lot of debt anyways. What’s a few trillion more?

In an earlier post, I reported the seeming great news that Filipinos could withdraw their Paypal balances to a Visa debit or credit card. That’s great news. 26 countries had this avenue opened to them. In the Philippines, the only bank that is really offering visa electron debit cards is Unionbank and their EON account. Paypal withdrawal experiences with Unionbank Eon have been anything but something to celebrate about.
