Mobilize your life - Making money online

I would like to introduce two of my favorite sites for ideas and resources.

The first is called Springwise and has the most comprehensive details about new sites and new ideas and new take offs occurring all over the world right this minute.
It's up to date, new and exciting and is really well designed and so easy to navigate and find out useful and interesting information.

The second is it's sister site which is called TrendWatching this one is less free then the first site Springwise and contains more detailed information about whats going on where and whats likely to catch on in the future.
It provides this information so you can be sure to stay one head a step of the game.

These sites are really worth the time and even investment to have a look through, I can't say enough good things about them.
You can even be a spotter on behalf of the website and earn yourself credit and points.

Here is a great insert that shows brittney spears on cam talking ... well just talking! is she a hick?

There is a book taking America by storm and basically the idea is you are what you think.
Now put that alongside you are what you eat, you are what you drink and you are what you sleep and you end up with a complete picture of parts - you are what you do.

The clearest single message - which is "The Secret" - what is the secret? basically without spending the money you won't have the drive to make it work, you won't offer yourself the chance to be programmed correctly. The secret is .... You are your thoughts and your focus.

This young Lady from Aus has become delirious with excitement and is now living in her own Pyramid scheme of success. There are myriads of things like this out there but this one nailed the marketing ploy and networking perfectly.

It's a very good example of how to do, which is why I am writing about it, not because I think it's something people should buy.

If any one out there buys and sells on Ebay you might want to have a look at site ranking from Power Sellers Unite. It's a Online help and forum site for people that sell on the different internet bidding sites. As you cans see there are plenty to choose from - my favourite right now has to be Ebid for the UK - people report good sales from this online Auction site

What a superb piece of Kit this is if your a traveling working person or out and about with your laptop and don't like using a mouse (I have to say that because I don't know what the plural for mouse is)

This guy shows you how to DisSecT your Mac and gut the insides and turn it into something super dyslexically simple.

I found a few web sites dedicated to New Business Based in and around London, one of which focuses on the Health sector and Health start up companies which I, being an invalid, found interesting.

The first is called FLYING START and it's for serious people who have a plan and an idea that they have almost just started to develop!
You have to be in a pretty pivotal business position for this 12 month course that will get you on your horse and well on the way to success.

You should have contacts and leads and identified markets and consumers, but just not started seriously yet! Hmmm it's a great idea with Entrepreneurs on hand to help out, but I think they'll have to be a bit more relaxed with their entry requirements to make any profit which I'm sure they will be forced to do.

The next are Events set out by London and South East based Universities for new and impressive Business minds.

I think this advert is absolutely amazing, it's American made - it's simple - and best of all it's really really good.



Oh and don't forget this site - which is the sister site of Springwise and it's called TrendWatching and I love it.

I love this site - it's basically a treasure trove of information.
You'll find a lot of new start ups, mainly in web based companies. There are some really great ideas out there that have already been done.

There must be thousands way ahead of us already, time to get your thinking hats on.

Here is one Google video I discovered through this site somehow which you have to see because it is absolutely wonderfully amusingly stupidly super.

I'm always scratching my nose wondering what to do on the toilet, never got into news papers, don't have a dart board, havn't invented group discussions or group meetings whilst perched!

Then I found this! what a wonderful idea, then all you need to get is the infra red remote IPOD control and your away, warm up your bathroom mood with melody before you arive and take it slow and easy.

You'll probably have to add a playlist for the toilet, any ideas?
Turtle head melodies!
If it's brown?

I have recently been speaking with a friend of mine called Dan. A budding artist with some really wonderful work. He has been designing websites for over 5years now and one site that grabbed my attention was his property in Spain site and also mortgages in Spain.

I was just chatting with him about the poor returns he has been having on Clickbank - more or his affiliate earnings actually come from Google Adsense. Isn't that interesting.

and as that’s a free tool to use I don't think it's going to be rivaled by anything else as good - so better make use of it now.

The sites that made use of their extensive contacts database in Spain are the following they are there to help people and advise people on buying and renting in Spain as well as other financial matters.

Here is the site about Spanish mortgages

and also the site for Spanish property

A few sites he also mentioned to help you guys learn about HTML and CSS are the following:
Friendly bit a personal feeling helpful page and
W3 A more corporate international adventure into making the web sustainable and more useable for all

A number 10 in most linked blogs at Technorati, and of course A BBC TV show Secret Millionaire star, Frank Warren is now a super hero of the internet.

There must be millions of schoolgirls and boys (the currency that controls a lot of media hype) Logging in to indulge in the delicious sticky mess that is secrets! The site has been accused of being perverse and dangerous and perhaps misleading, but that’s just by bland Psychologists trying to put an end to something interesting and new.

Secrets stirs up something animalistic and playful inside, it mixes modernism and accessibility with desires and dreams and should be able to strike a chord with any reader that stumbles into it’s path.

A few copycats have already seen the market potential and have started sites like veryliberating and livejournal obviously other communities that have not heard of the original article are still out there to be interrogated.

With thousands of postcards swamping his letterbox each week, Secrets is a full time job and so who can blame Frank for going out there putting it all into a book. It certainly flirts with ideas of public exposure having your own personal life cookie in a book that will be read by thousands of people.

Here are the links to Franks sites:

This is his book available from that really big river, errrrr….

Ben Way

Meet the UK’s Youngest self made Entrepreneur. Well he was once, that’s why he was splashed like a wet flannel all over the media spotlight.

Ben Way started his first Company when he was just 17, as with most self made millionaires that make it he was told by his teachers at school after doing so badly that he would never amount to anything. Of course Ben had dyslexia like most Entrepreneurs these days, “it’s like a creative burden” Ben Ways way of thinking assumes the position that “Dyslexics WILL take over the world” and you know what I think I believe him. Find out of your dyslexic Dyslexic test – Click Here.

Or for a few questions to ask your self first
Dyslexic Questions – Click Here.



Ben can't spell bussinesssess. He tries to put an extra "s" in it. He also has great difficulty in taking down telephone numbers. "I find it hard to retain more than three numbers at a time," he says, looking at the floor quickly.

For some it’s hard, and for others they DO something about it, Ben did and my the age of 20 when other kids are worrying about exams, Ben was worrying about where to put all his money.

In the year 2000, when Ben set up and ran an internet search company, he was voted Young Entrepreneur of the Year. In October, he announced his involvement in six more companies – the main contestant being 3Group, developing the third generation of mobile phones. He also lectures at Imperial College, London, in entrepreneurship: "The first time I ever entered a lecture room was to actually give the talk," says Ben who left school at 16.

Other dyslexics, Tom Cruise, Steve Redgrave, architect Lord Rogers, film director Guy Ritchie and photographer David Bailey.

Quotes...
"One week of every month I'm awake most of the night, thinking. Sometimes I can feel myself having an idea, intense activity on both sides of my brain and then, 'whoosh', it all comes together like a whirring candyfloss machine, turning in my head, making connections from all over the place. In an hour, I find I can see the solution to a problem.
"Once or twice, I have found myself having an idea so powerful that it is a truly bizarre feeling. On both occasions, I have had the idea that has been the basis for my next business."

Aged 18, Ben discovered a Jersey based company, they were happy to sponser his internet search company - provided that he abstained from drink (apart from two shandies a night), sex, late nights and other youthful excesses until his 20th birthday.

”They asked me how much I was expecting to receive to start a campaign like this”, Ben said “Oh I think 25 million should do it” to which the company replied “ that’s just figure we wanted to invest”.
What a Lucky little Ben.
