If youre like me and have been scouring the internet for a sure fire way of making some extra income from your content rich website then you have no doubt come across and have probably joined the Google Adsense program and placed Google ads on your website, and have also had the frustration of not getting enough visitors to your site and again have been scouring the internet for information on combining Google Adsense and Google Adwords to get targeted visitors to your site.

You no doubt like me have come across the so called Get Rich Quick With Google Adsense e-books, which offer a sure fire system to use the Google Adwords feature to unlock those Google Adsense riches on your website and have probably handed over the $30 to $60 to find out the secret system. Well this article has been written to expose the myths behind these so called systems and to warn people that the results will be very disappointing.

Google Adsense Fact

The major problem with these systems is they try to blind you with a massive list of high paying keywords which Google Adword bidders supposedly pay for certain keywords and your focus is to try and concentrate your efforts on including these keywords on your website page, so the Google Adsense can put these high paying Google ads on your site, therefore increase your click through payments.

Fact is Google ads rarely payout over $2 per click for Google Adsense, I have run sites myself with the supposed top keyword “yahoo domains and the most I earned was about 50 cents per click which seems to be the Google Adsense average.

All this high paying keyword information is not going to make the so called $50 per click that some of these e-books claim, the best paying keyword out there at the moment is to do with asbestos cancer and this will only give you between $3 and $5 per click and is such a niche keyword, that not everyone is interested in reading about the subject or going to click on the Google ads on your website.

Google Adwords Fact

The Google Adwords part of the systems require you to find a high paying niche keyword, get over 200 related keywords list, create a one page website with a single article leeched from one of the free article sites surrounded by three Google ad blocks, then effectively write a Google ad with the chosen keywords as the title (via a special Google tag) and set a campaign budget of $10 a day with a maximum of 7 cents per click bid.

Fact is setting a bid of 7 cents per click will place your ad that low on the search engine that you will only get a small amount of page impressions therefore decreasing the chance of anyone clicking on your Google ad and registering a possible visitor, plus most keywords will not successfully activate Google Ads at such a low bid price.

Conclusion

Though these e-books seem to offer a system, I would have to say it is not an air-tight sure fire way of making a decent income from Google Adsense, there are just too many flaws which cannot be explained away.

My advice would be to stick to building your webpage content daily with no more than two or three Google Ads on each page, in 12 months all the search engines will have no doubt crawled and indexed your web pages hopefully bringing in a steady stream of targeted visitors who will hopefully click your Google Ads and make you a small fortune. GOOD LUCK!!

0% APR Credit Cards – Tips & Tricks

Word Count:Article Body:
Credit cards can be considered to be one of the many basic necessities of the modern world. Credit cards are available nowadays in abundance. One type of credit card specifically is the so-called 0% APR credit card. 0% APR credit cards were introduced in the late 1980s and to this day has still proven to be one of the most sought-after credit card types available anywhere. As with all credit card types, there are a certain tips and tricks surrounding 0% APR credit cards that all potential card applicants should be made aware of.

With the help of a 0% APR credit card, it means that you need not only pay the outstanding balance; and what more you could even charge up to the limits without having to sustain any monthly interest charges. However, sometimes, one tends to think just how these credit card companies can afford to provide 0% APR credit cards, and make a profit out of it?

Although 0% APR credit cards may not comprise any monthly charges, it is sure to come with annual fees which you are obliged to pay for the privileges of a 0% APR credit card. These annual fees usually run from $15 to $20 or sometimes, even higher. Having a 0% APR credit card doesnt mean that you can pay your dues whenever and whichever way you intend to. It IS necessary to make your payments on time, or else, you will have to pay for high overdue fees. For each late payment, the 0% APR credit card holder has to pay fees that may range from $20 to $40. With habitual late payments, these meager amounts may accumulate to a hefty total!

It should be remembered that 0% APR credit cards are usually offered for only a stipulated period of time. This credit card interest may hold good for only a fixed period of time, usually ranging from 3 up to 15 months. On the completion of this period, a higher rate of interest may come in vogue, usually 12% or higher. You could easily transfer any existing credit card balances to a new 0% APR credit card to get 0% interest on the transferred balance. In this way, the credit card holder has to pay less interest for a stipulated period of time, and thus get a chance to clear outstanding balances as quickly as possible.

When applying for a 0% APR credit card, it is always better to read the terms and agreements of the credit card. Not to overstate an obvious question, but why should one do so? Simply because many credit cards may come with a default rate wherein late payments not only incur a late payment fee, but it would also include a default rate that will be added to the annual percentage rate. This in turn doubles the figures on the existing balances and on the new purchases made on the card moving forward. Ouch!

One very important point to take into account when applying for a 0% APR credit card is to read all paragraphs of the agreement, otherwise known as the fine print. This is because though it is illegal for a credit card company to hide their fees and charges, it is nonetheless legal for them to mention these points in small print! The 0% APR credit card companies thus usually announce in large and bold print about their 0% APR but hide the facts that this is only for a limited period of time and any extra fees which might be included are done so in very fine print.

Another trick that is up the sleeve of 0% APR credit card companies is to install sky-high APRs right after the amount of 0% APR balance transfers are paid down. In other words, the money you first pay to the credit card company is applied to the transfer, and any other purchases you make will be charged a high APR. Sometimes, credit card companies may also go to the extent of sending you a different card than the 0% APR credit card you had initially applied for. In this way, you are not allowed the 0% APR but a different card offer with different terms and conditions. The card issuers typically rationalize this behavior based on the card issuer determining that you do not meet the qualifications for a 0% APR credit card. Qualifications for a 0% APR credit card is usually found in the small print of the agreement, and is usually overseen by applicants!

It can thus be seen that though 0% APR credit cards do seem to be rather inviting, there are some loopholes and tricks to their use. As always, it is highly recommended to read the terms and conditions on the card application agreement for the 0% APR credit card, or any type of credit card application, thoroughly in order to avoid any future problems, headaches or financial surprises.

How Not To Make Money Online (Or Anywhere Else)

Here are a few tips on how _not_ to make money, and underneath each one, the smart thing to do instead.

1. Follow The Herd.

By the time you hear about it, it’ll probably have peaked. The time to grab a niche is looking around you, seeing what people are looking for, and giving it to them, fast. Not recommended: Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), Internet Marketing, eBooks, Paid-To-Surf and High Yield Investment Programs (HYIP). These will all make money for the guys running the show, not you.

Do your own research. Internet forums are full of the past, not the future. You can learn your trade, but not the latest wheeze. You think if someone’s got a really sweet idea they’ll blab it in a forum? Only if they’re vain or stupid. Or they’ve already made their bit, the idea is washed out, so they make one last profit by getting the newbies excited about it.

By the time you hear about it the herd will have spammed the hell out of it.

2. Not Following The Herd.

Sometimes the herd is heading over a cliff. Sometimes it’s heading to green pastures. You can’t start a revolution on your own; it’s too much hard work. So find something there’s already a demand for, and set up a stall offering it cheaper, faster or better. Or all three!

Tip: Exhaust internet research before starting your new career. It’s likely someone has already done what you’re thinking of, at least in part. Maybe you can walk the trail they blazed, rather than hacking your own?

3. Do Something You Dislike.

You can’t put your heart in a job you dislike. You’ll find you can’t summon the energy. The ol’ inspiration doesn’t flow. Why? McJobs turn your brain to hamburger. Your subconscious (your heart) will not supply the energy to do something it’s against, even if the head says ‘go!’.

Solution: Take the time to find something you truly enjoy: your vocation.

4. Do Something Which Doesn’t Pay Well.

Just getting by means you’ll go broke someday: one bit of bad luck, then bam!

Plenty of jobs out there which pay _just_ enough to survive on. That’s how capitalists get rich; _they_ make the profits, _you_ do the legwork. And that’s as it should be. You want the big bucks? Be a super salesman, or an entrepreneur; they take all the risks, so it’s only right they get the gravy.

Like all employees I disliked and feared my boss; he had real power over me. Then when I became my own boss, I understood him perfectly. He didn’t care about my little problems. He didn’t owe me anything beyond my wages and a civil word. He was largely oblivious to my mutinous grumbling. All he wanted was for me to come in on time, do the work, and clear off at the end of the day. He set the business up, so he deserved the lion’s share. He had to worry about keeping the whole place going.

If you were a boss, and it was your money, just how generous would you be to your employees? Oh yeah, suuuure! And I bet you’re a big tipper too!

Solution: If you want to work for someone else, and be happy, find a job that pays well. Easy!

5. Do Something You’re Not Good At.

It’s easy to be mediocre at a wide range of jobs. To be a master takes years, sometimes a lifetime.

Solution: You _know_ you’ve got a knack for _something_. If it’s something you like, which can pay well, _and which you’re good at_, consider doing _it_ rather than fuming in your cubicle. At the very least you’ll enjoy the ride!

If you’re not sure, find a fat list of job titles somewhere and skim through it: who knew that jobs like chicken-sexer or house-sitter existed?

Summary:
Learn how much money you can make selling ebooks online.

Keywords:
ebook, author, book, writing, publishing

Article Body:
One of the most common questions we get at Ebook Architect is how much money will I make selling ebooks? Well, like most businesses the answer will depend on many different factors. For example the amount of time you put into the promotion of your ebook will have a direct consequence on sales and market interest in your ebook topic is another important factor. People who are good at picking good ebook topics and promoting their ebooks usually stand to make a lot of money with ebooks.

How Much Money You Ask?

Some Ebook entrepreneurs lose money in the course of a year while some make hundreds of thousands of dollars. More realistically however is somewhere in between these two points. Many ebook authors make between $5,000 and $20,000 a year.

How to Maximize Ebook Sales

The best way to ensure optimum sales is to constantly promote your ebook. This may mean staying in on weekends and staying up late during the week. Some of the best ways to promote your ebook include buying advertising from large advertising portals such as Google and Yahoo, partaking in link exchanges, writing articles for websites and Ezines, building an information dense website and writing great ebook sales pages. Accomplishing all of this is no minor feat. You should expect to be in product development for between 1-6 months and then the promotional aspect may take another 4-12 months. Its not necessarily an easy job but as stated above the payoff could be substantial.

Worst Case Scenario

Even if you decide half way through the process that ebook entrepreneurship is not your cup of tea, you will still have written an ebook and be selling it online. That makes you an author; congratulations. Not only will you be an author but your ebook may give you some extra pocket change on a monthly basis. If nothing else, it will be a good learning experience. You have nothing to lose, so why not give it a shot?

How Long Before You Make Money?

With the exception of some not for profit organizations most people go into business in order to produce revenue (income) and profit. Unfortunately, when it comes to a home business, and especially network marketing, many people forget this important point.

In a traditional business, whether a Ma and Pa shop, or a large franchise store like McDonalds, business owners know to watch their numbers. A business must make a profit in order to survive and, if it doesnt, adjustments must be made accordingly.

One of the reasons for the high failure rate in small businesses, home businesses, and MLM (network marketing), is because due to the low entry costs and requirements people often dont treat them like, real businesses.

Two things commonly happen:

1) Many people have the attitude that since they didnt have to invest much to begin with they really dont have to be too concerned about whether they make money or not, or how soon. Of course, that often ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Its not just that way with a business, but with many things in life. If you come to own something that cost a great deal or required a lot of effort to acquire you tend to appreciate it more than something of lesser perceived value.

When you consider that network marketing has made some people just as much if not more money than many other traditional kinds of businesses, with incomes of as much as $1 million a month or more being achieved, treating a MLM as if it isnt a serious or real business is a huge mistake!

2) Because the entry cost can be so low people overlook the cost of not making money, and also have a tendency not to pay attention to how much their other expenses associated with their business (such as trips, conventions, and/or buying extra products or services over and above what you really need) add up over time.

For example, lets say that you spend $500 to sign up for a new business. Not a lot of money at all, maybe the price of a cup of coffee a day and some change.

Weeks go by, and then months, maybe even years, and you still arent making any money. Perhaps you dont think much of it because, you think to yourself, I only spent $500 to get started in this business anyway.

But what are the true cost? Lets say that in addition to your startup cost you have also been spending $150 each and every month on buying your companys products and services. (Perfectly ok if you enjoy and use all of the products you buy; not ok if you are buying more than you need simply to qualify for a certain level with your company!) And lets also assume that you are spending $50 a month on meetings, conventions, or seminars (many people spend much more).

So, even though you really havent paid much attention because you only invested $500 to begin with, if your business hasnt yet started making you money then you are really spending AND LOSING $2,400 a year, in this hypothetical example. And, here again, in reality many people often end up spending much, much more.

Going back to the example at the beginning of this article about a traditional business, like a McDonalds. Those kinds of businesses often have much higher costs associated with them, such as a store lease or mortgage, equipment leases, payroll, etc. It isnt uncommon for a traditional business to have to operate for months or years before making a profit.

In contrast — though networking marketing is NOT designed necessarily to make you a very large amount of money overnight — you can and should be able to generate an ever increasing residual income for yourself over time, and starting in relatively short order.

Everyone approaches a new home business differently. Some people prefer to roll their sleeves up and dig right in, expecting to start making money almost immediately. While others prefer to first spend time learning more about their new business, and/or obtaining any available training. So its acceptable, if you choose, to take a few weeks or even a month to prepare for your new business. However, especially if it is your goal to start making money right away, it is entirely realistic with most networking businesses to start earning viable amounts of money within as little as 30 days.

Certainly within 90 days you will want to start seeing some kind of payoff in return for your efforts. And no more than 6 months should go by without positively starting to see income coming in. In fact, ideally, you should try whenever possible to not only earn enough money to cover your original startup costs, but you absolutely should be making a profit (in other words, extra money) within this time.

If after 30 to 90 days, 6 months maximum, you are not making a profit, you should seriously reevaluate!

To summarize:

1) Always remember to track ALL of your directly related business expenses, including how much you spend on leads, products and services, meetings, trips and conventions, training, etc. You must add these expenses to your original startup costs.

2) Subtract how much money youve earned from the number above (your total expenses) and this will tell you how much money youve made (profit), or how much money youve lost and/or are losing.

3) To repeat: If after 30 to 90 days, 6 months maximum, you are not making a profit, you should seriously reevaluate!

Dont continue down the same path if you are only spending more money than you are making, and not making any profit in return.

Remember, except for a not for profit endeavor, the purpose of being in business is to make money. And in order to make money you have to actually make more money than you spend.

0% APR Credit Cards: The High Interest Rate Solution

December 20th, 2009 -

Over the past two years, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates substantially. Consequently, credit card annual percentage rates have followed suit. Nearly all credit cards tie their interest rates to the prime rate, which has doubled to 8% from 4% during the string of rate hikes that began in 2004. This has led to interest rates on credit cards rising by 30% or more. Since August of 2006, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates steady, and many economists believe the next move may be a reduction in rates. However, the rate reductions have yet to begin, and credit card interest rates remain relatively high.

For those who carry balances on their credit cards, high interest rates have resulted in higher monthly bills, with many seeing their minimum payment increase substantially. Fortunately, now, more than in recent years, 0% credit cards offer a safe harbor from high rates. There are two basic types of 0% credit cards: those that offer a 0% rate on balance transfers, and those that offer a 0% on purchases. The best credit cards offer 0% interest on both. How much savings can these credit cards provide? Lets take a look at the math.

Lets assume youre carrying a balance of $10,000. If you simply pay the minimum each month, you will accrue close to $2000 in interest over the course of a year, thanks to daily compounding balances (too bad savings accounts dont pay that type of interest). With a 0% balance transfer, you can expect to save all of that money, plus, youll be given time to pay down that debt. When the 0% period expires, not only is there a chance your interest rate will be lower, but, if rates do not go down, you can always transfer the balance to another 0% credit card. Plus, if you make a minimum payment of $150 a month, your balance at the end of the year will be closer to $8200, rather than $12,000. Thats quite a difference.

Now, if youre fortunate enough to have no credit card debt, a 0% interest rate can be handy tool to avoid interest expenses on new purchases and free up some cash in the short term. Need a new fridge? Have to fix your car? Want granite counters for the kitchen? With a 0% credit card, you can defer the cost of these expenses for a year while taking advantage of high interest rates. How? By placing the cash that would have left your bank account into a high-yield savings account and taking advantage of rewards credit cards.

Lets assume you will make $10,000 of purchases over the next few months. Using a credit card with a 0% interest rate and 1% cashback rewards, coupled with a high-yield savings account with a 4% interest rate can put about $500 extra in your pocket over the course of the year.

Of course, not everyone pays their balance in full each month. With average credit card interest rates in the 12% to 15% range, carrying a monthly balance of only $1000 can cost close to $150 a year. Saving $150 in interest charges may not be a fortune, but its surely enough to buy a nice dinner with a good bottle of wine.

No matter how you use your credit card, a 0% interest credit card can have a positive effect on both short and long term cash flows. Given that the alternative is paying more than 12% in interest, choosing a 0% credit card in this atmosphere of high interest rates is a no-brainer.

How I Make Money Online

Nothing beats the excitement you feel when you first start to make money online. Ever since I got my first computer I had dreamed of owning a web site that would make money for me.

My motivation has always been simple. I want the freedom to live life on my own terms.To be able to do what I want when I feel like it. I want to feel the security of having a regular income. And, finally I want the spending power to be able to buy what I want and go where I want. Not much to ask.

I now know that I went by the long route when I set out to learn how to make money online. I wasted an enromous amount of time, energy and money on learning things I didnt need to know and doing things that are a complete waste of time.

The most annoying thing of all was that the know-it-alls who are reaping the amazing rewards of their success are so poor at showing others how they do it. However, they are very good at charging a lot for their information and then making it hard to understand what they mean. So I made up my mind early on that I would never charge for any information that I pass on to others about how to make money online.

Here are the lessons that I have learned. I consider that they are the real secrets of making money online.

First, start with a niche market. I know this is different from how people do things in the real world, but in cyber space this is the best place to start. The easiest way is to pick on a group of people just like you. People with whom you share a problem.

Second, find a product that solves their problem. There are millions of them out there. I show my students how to find them on my free diploma course.

Third, build a really simple, one page web site. Your site only needs to offer a product that solves a problem to the people with the problem.

Fourth, drive traffic to that web site.

Imagine my excitement when, by simply applying this formula, I started receiving e-mails saying: Congratulations, you just made a sale!

The excitement grew when I went to my online bank account and saw the money sitting there, right under my name.

And the excitement reached fever pitch when the congratulations e-mails started coming in ever-increasing numbers.

My advice is simple; dont wait, use the simple formula Ive outlined above to build yourself a web site today. Let me show you how. I promise that you will feel massively uplifted when you too start to make money online.

5 More Freebies for San Francisco Entertainment

If the thing you look least forward to on vacation is wracking up vicious amounts of debt on your Master Card, then you’ve come to the right place. I’m here to offer advice on free things to do while visiting San Francisco. Granted, it is not wise to think that you can go on vacation without spending any money and have a good time. However, it is quite possible to be very selective when deciding where to spend your money by having alternative entertainment options that cost little or no money.

Rather than a top ten list, which can be a little long winded, I’m going to provide a top five list. My sincere hope is that you will use this list as inspiration for finding your own free or low cost entertainment while visiting San Francisco. On to the list:

1) San Francisco Botanical Gardens. The climate of San Francisco provides a unique atmosphere that allows the growth and maintenance of plants from around the world. As a result the San Francisco Botanical Gardens offers a look at plants that are rare almost anywhere else on earth. The Gardens are 55 acres and host more than 7500 plants from around the world.
2) Chinese Culture Center. This center offers resources about the Chinese culture in San Francisco in addition to many programs that are available to learn about the artistic and cultural contributions that the Chinese community has made to this great city.
3) Fort Point National Historic Site. This site has special historical significance. Its original intent was to prevent invading forces from entering San Francisco Bay. By the end of the Civil War the massive cannons that had been used for this purpose were obsolete. The last of the original 126 cannons was removed around 1900. During the 1930’s, the fort was used as a headquarters for the building of the Golden Gate Bridge. This Fort has played a vital role in our history and is worth a visit, especially considering the fact that it is free.
4) Stern Grove Concerts. These concerts only take place on Sunday afternoons during summer months but are well worth checking out if you have a sunny Sunday afternoon available during your stay. The goal of these concerts is to educate the masses and potentially inspire future musicians. A love of music is the second best gift you can give a child, second only to a love of reading. It’s a great way to spend an afternoon, and it’s free!
5) Wells Fargo History Museum. This museum is a fun side trip for the family. Not only does it tell the history of Wells Fargo as it pertains to San Francisco, but it also tells of Black Bart and other stagecoach robbers while providing visitors with the awe inspiring story of the great earthquake of 1906 and the role of Wells Fargo in the recovery process. I believe that young and old alike will find this museum to be a lot of fun, especially for the price.

If you are visiting San Francisco and need some great family friendly activities to fill your days, then this is definitely a great place to start. I hope that you can find a few more things than I have mentioned here to help fill in gaps and entertain the young and old on your vacation alike. Remember not to over plan your trip, as some of the greatest times to be had are spontaneous rather than planned.

How Google Makes Big Money And How You Can Too!

How Google Makes Big Money And How You Can Too!

We all know that Google makes a lot of money, but not everyone knows how they do it, so I have created a web site about Google Adsense and have produced this article with the purpose to help people to understand thier system more.

Google is a search engine, and that comes from common knowledge now a days. An extremely successfully search engine ,which received so much daily traffic that one often wonders how many servers it maintains, to handle it all! They have thousands of employees around the world and probably make billions in revenues. How do they do it? Well, the answer is, of course, from advertising. They advertise, and advertise heavily. The two systems they have created are Adwords and Adsense. I won’t go into too much detail, since anyone can find out more on this on their website, but in a couple of sentences.. essentially, Adwords is a system that advertisers use place their ads via it, while Adsense is the outcome of those ad placements i.e. those are actual ads themselves.

Google places the ads in 2 places search engines, both: it’s own or those which they own and affiliated, and on mine and your sites. – They have a huge network (the whole web) of websites and split their profits from those ads with the web owners therefore creating a win-win situation and encouraging more and more web owners to place their advertisements. It is the biggest ad community in the on earth to date (not betting my wife on this, but pretty sure), and, judging by their rapid growth, it will be even larger weeks or months from today. The pay per click rate varies somewhere from .01 pence to a lot more of around 70 US Dollars. This depends on the quality of the web content you have at your site and how much advertisers are willing to pay for their visitors, probably in conjunction with some other less important factors. Google does not inform Us how much they pay the web masters, although there have being predictions from the web masters that the figure is most likely to be somewhere around 50%.

The aim behind it is to make a site with as many visitors as we can and have as high rate of clicks as possible. Of course this, opportunity attracts many of people though who try their luck with Adsense, and the good news is that the vast majority of those fortune-hunters fail, for many different reasons,one of which being mainly because those types of do not plug in for long enough, make spammy and worthless throw-away type of sites and it all just is too much work for them. Good news for those who do make it, as it means those have fewer people to compete against.

So, what needs to be done by an individual in order to make money with Adsense? Well, a start up capital to outsource, some SEO knowledge as well as somedetermination will be welcome, but crucial factors are determination and good quality Google is not stupid and in the future only unique, quality content ,which is of true value to the visitor will attract the search engines. This means that you can start creating a site and add original content two times a day or more, and that will, sooner or later, pay off and you will start ranking in the SE’s. Choose a niched topic, create more long tail keyword-aimed headlines, write the article, and you will be heading towards a very bright future, and , at that point, will probably be better off than about 98% of them that try.

Designing a niched website is easier to rank for, because you can optimise your linking strategy for this subject, therefore is going to get higher PR reputation with less effort. Search engines are going to start recognising you as an expert in this field, hence you will gain more traffic. This is in contradiction to if you make a wide area website, where you will need to try harder to get the same level of PR, , since you have more subjects and likely more web pages, as well as having to create more web links, as well as more permutations of these web links to more pages all this is just not as easy. To contradict to that though, once you are ranking, you will likely receive more visitors. It all really depends on how hard you are going to work on it, and the chances are not too hard (you do not want to reach success and then drop dead). Or depends on your ability to outsource (get them people from around the planet working on your site, and ghost-writers working on your content for you).

One of the other to consider is letting your web site readers to ad content themselves for you! Be it with the possibility to be approved by either you or your web master or to make a free post without web masters check this strategy, if applied right, is the best in terms of the work load off your chest. This is going to take a lot of work from you, as your visitors will be doing it, while you are on a nice, sunny beach in Caribbean island might just work! In my personal view, that would be a true success. (E.g. for many that have already taken off no web masters involvement required, apart from little off-page optimisation work and monitoring to keep the spot in the SE’s, and that can be outsourced. Content-adding is very natural for them). Of course, enabling comments is doing just that, but those are, likely, only couple of lines, and definitely not as affective as having full paragraphs.

Do you know that , according to recent statistics (end of 2006), something like seventy percent of the worlds wealth is in the hands of two percent of the worlds population? Well, the net is one of the Greatest chances in our history to be in this two percent. Oh, by the way, almost forgot the reason why I wrote this article.
