The internet is fast becoming the new way to make a living, but did you know you can actually make money from just knowing about something. You don’t have to be a so called “Expert”, or have a degree in any particular area, to be able to sell your knowledge.
There are many “guru’s who are selling “informational” products, in areas, like “how to make money online”, but this is not the only niche that there is a need for information.
For example, I met a guy, not long ago, who was selling an Ebook online about BMX and skate boarding tricks. He was selling this digital book online and making a very good living at it.
To get started, think about the experiences and knowledge that you have, it could be things, such as; cooking, shopping, saving money, car repair, home improvement, writing, hobbies and the list goes on. Once you decide what knowledge you want to share with others, start writing it all out in a rough draft and then organize these thoughts into an easy to follow, how-to guide. I would then have a friend or two, read over it to see if they can offer any suggestions and give their opinions, so you know, you are putting out a valuable resource.
After you have your Ebook, or Video book finished, you can sell it on digital media websites, like Clickbank, or even sell it on websites, like Ebay and Amazon.
If you don’t feel like your a great writer, that’s OK, you can always hire a ghost writer to put all of your thoughts together for you, for a small fee. Freelance sites like ODesk and Go Freelance are great places to find ghost writers to help you out.
So get out there and share your knowledge. This is the best way to get paid doing what you love.

When I tell people that I work online, from home. The first question I always get, is “can you really make money online?”. I tell them yes, of course, or I wouldn’t be doing it. I have a family to support and bills to pay, so I can’t afford to just be sitting on the computer all day and not making any money.
There are two main ways to make money online
The first one is working for a company that hires people to work remotely from home, as an employee, or independent contractor. There are lots of companies that hire people to work from their homes, that are legit. The main rule with this, is to never pay a company to work for them.
The second way, is to work for yourself online, by starting your company and website and selling your products, or the products of others. This is very legit, but takes a lot of hard work, before you start seeing a profit. You have research the company, if you plan to sell products for others.
How do you know which option is better for you?
Deciding which option is best for you, is best determined by your current situation, work habits, and goals.
Working for another company collect and hourly pay, of course is the more stable and quickest way to start making money online. Working for yourself and building a website and selling products, has the potential to make unlimited money, but it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, to reach that level.
Most people start out with option one and work for an established company, while building their own company, so they have money coming in while they are working toward their ultimate goals.

There is a new craze on the internet called “Planking”. This craze was said to have started by two students in Europe, who were bored and started playing the “Laying Down Game” and took pictures of them laying down in unusual places. Planking is when you lay completely flat on a surface with your fingers and toes pointed completely straight with your body.
Many bloggers have gotten in on the fun of planking, like the popular Apple fan blogger ijustine. I thought I should get with the program too and show you guys some great planking I have been a part of.
