There is nothing worse than finally getting paid and still feeling broke at the end of the month. Yes, it is true, some people have more bills than they have money because of circumstances beyond their control, and some people just need to learn control. At the end of the day, the underlying problem of not having enough money to "make ends meet" still remains. Thankfully, there are several viable solutions in place via the world wide web. Yes, you can make money every day on the world wide web, and I am going to explain a few ways do it based off of my past experience.
Now, before we start, there are a few applications that I am going to recommend that you sign up for in order to get daily money if you have not already done so. They are PayPal, the Cash App. and any of the big three social media websites (or another website where you have a significant following). As far as PayPal and the Cash App goes, you should be able to download both of these apps on any smart phone that runs on the iPhone or Android Platform. You can also log on via your PC or Mac by searching "PayPal" or "Cash App" in a search engine like Google. Each of these apps require you to log in with your bank data. Now don't worry, they are very secure. I have been using PayPal for over ten years, and I have been using the Cash App for nearly a year, and I have not had any problems. In fact, you actually get $5 when you sign up for the Cash App by using my link (cash.me/app/LTLPBST) or referring others that sign up and link their card, so it is instant money because the company uses its marketing dollars to promote social sharing of its brand. On the other hand, Paypal does not have a referral bonus feature, but it is still more popular than the Cash App because it has been around for well over ten years. PayPal transactions that are made directly to or from your bank account or PayPal balance are free, but if you make a payment to a friend using your debit or credit card, you'll have to pay a 2.9 percent transaction fee. PayPal has no limits to the amount of money exchanged per week. The Cash App is known for making payments simple and seamless. ... The app — which can also be found online at Cash.me — is similar to PayPal: The Cash App (A.K.A "Square Cash) lets you send cash directly and safely to other people via email or within the app using a linked debit or credit card. Square Cash transactions are free, but only work with debit cards — not with credit cards or bank account numbers. Free transactions are limited to $2,500 a week, but if you want an instant transfer from your app to your bank account you will have to pay a small transaction fee of 1% or less for an immediate deposit. In addition,. Square Cash-Pro, which is aimed at small businesses, has no dollar amount limit, but charges 1.5 percent for debit card or bank account transactions. Now, I hope that clears up the first part about setting yourself up to successfully get the money. Next, you definitely need to make sure that you have a Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or some other type of social media account with a decent amount of followers. You will need to leverage these accounts to get the message out that you are selling things online. If you don't have a social media account, you can still make money, but it will be much harder to market the thing or service that you are trying to sell on on a daily basis. Now that we have the basics down, here are the quickest ways to make money daily on the web. They are Ebay.com, online flea markets on social media websites like Facebook, Craigslist, and sharing the Cash App with your friends and family to get the $5 referral fee. With eBay, Craigslist, and online flea markets, you need a picture of the product that you are selling to make money, so this is where you can put your handy smart phone to work. You can sell almost anything online on these platforms. I am not going to go into many details, but I will tell you to click here to go to an excellent blog that I found online titled 27 Things You Can Sell From Home To Make Money." On a personal note, I have sold old books, clothes, strollers, bicycles, exercise equipment and anything else that I no longer needed online, and I got paid on the same day because I posted a link to my product on all of my social media platforms to get immediate attention instead of hoping and praying that someone sorts and finds me on their own. Once someone purchases my product, all I have to do is ship it or meet the person in a public and secure place to give them what they purchased. It is that simple. I get my money before they get their product, and this can be repeated over and over again each and every day. If you don't have anything that you can sell at your home, you may want to consider setting up a free website on weebly.com like I did or on another platform like, google sites or wix.com, and selling a service like tutoring (which is an excellent daily cash business). You can sell pictures that you draw or paint, or digital products online like I do on my Teachers Pay Teachers store "Shackles Off My Learning." Basically, there are thousands of ways that you can make daily money online. You just have to have the right tools in place to quickly redeem your money such as the Cash App, Pay Pal, or any similar product. You also need to have some type of digital camera to take pictures for the product descriptions, and you need a social media platform to advertise it on. Worse case scenario, if you don't have any of these, just share the Cash App daily and you should still make $5. Now that you know what to do, get to selling. Do you know what you contribute to the world? What ideas and knowledge have you acquired over the years that can help enrich someone's life? What is your impact?
Today, I want to start my first blog post of the year waking up the sleeping giant that is living within you. You may have been conditioned to believe that you are only placed on this Earth to play it small, and to "stay in your lane", but I am here to tell you that you are living in a F.E.A.R world instead of your pure potentiality if you are not sharing your positive gifts of knowledge with as many people as you possibly can. I am sure that you have heard or read that F.E.A.R stands for False Evidence Appearing Real by now. How does that acronym apply to your life though? According to Psychology Today, Fear is a vital response to physical and emotional danger. What physical or emotional danger do your perceive to happen if you step outside of your comfort zone and scale your impact? I know that some of you may wonder what I mean by the phrase "scale your impact," so let me break this down for you. Many of us associate the term "scale" with weight. We use the scale to measure progress. If you are a person trying to reduce fat, you want the scale to show a favorable loss by showing a reduction in weight. On the other hand, if you are one of the few people trying to gain weight or muscle you will want the scale to show a favorable increase in weight. Scale is also used to show relationships when it comes to art and architecture. In order for an architect or artist to make a blueprint or representation of a new creation, they must first understand how to draw a scale model that is scaled down in proportion to the end product. How do they do this? They must have either an innate gift of understanding shapes, symbols, and proportions, or they must have a solid background knowledge in mathematical measurement and graphing. Thus, in both examples scale means measurement. Now let's talk about the word "your." It is considered a determiner in the English Language. According to the Oxford Dictionary, words like my, our, your, his, her, its, and their are known as possessive determiners. They come before nouns and indicate ownership of the noun in question, as their name suggests. Basically, "your" is a word that shows possession, and it refers to the reader in this context so that is "you. " Now that we know that I am talking about "you," let's go back to "your" impact. The word "impact" can usually carry either a positive or a negative connotation. When some people think about the word "impact," they think of a car crash, and when others think about the word "impact' they may think of someone who has made an positive influence in their life like a celebrity, teacher, parent, or preacher. In this context, I want you to understand that impact relates to positive effects or influences that you bring to life. Therefore, the phrase "scale your impact" means measure your positive effect and influence that you have in the world. It means to figuratively get fat with scaling your impact in the world. It means to scale up to infinity. You see most people play their life too small because they are afraid of judgement, so they hold back their God given gifts like a mother elephant protects her calves. This is the wrong thing to do, and I believe it is the reason why many people fail to get above the "status quo" in life. There is a phrase that I use often that says "Prior planning prevents poor performance." It is alliteration and a mneumonic device to help me remember that I must always plan to win in life. For me, planning to win does not mean playing it small or "staying in my lane." I see too many people who played it small in life, and they struggle in retirement or can't retire. The evidence of this is in the statistics: According to a recent article on the financial website "fool.com" titled "20 Retirements Stats That Will Blow You Away" many people have not scaled their impact in life financially. Look at the following statistics:
If you ever travel to less developed countries you will realize that we are sitting on a gold mine in the United States of America when it comes to access to information and knowledge, but many people fail to tap into their resources. Instead, they focus on getting through the day at work and being entertained during their leisure time. Their habits force them to "play it small" in the land of opportunity. Thus, they get really skinny with knowledge and fail to help as many people as they can through positive actions and the exchange of their acquired knowledge. You see, most people do not realize that knowledge is what makes post modern societies thrive. Billion dollar industries are built around leveraging other people's knowledge in this country. As long as you understand how to use that and leverage that, you don't have to do a great deal of physical labor in this country. If you understand what I just wrote, you just need to think about how you can leverage your knowledge and create at least seven or eight profit streams doing it, and if you don't know how to start, then start reading "self help" books like Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income book, or Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad. If you don't have time to read, then listen to audiobooks or watch DVD's or Youtube. You can check out audiobooks at the local library. You can spend your leisure time at the library, or watch "how to" videos on Youtube. You can also join meetup groups, attend community based classes at your local library or recreation center, join groups on social media, or join professional organizations that cater to building skill sets that you need in order to feel confident enough to eventually "scale your impact" in the world. The truth is that there are hundreds of things that you can do to get started. The books above will help you get ideas for how to proceed in filling your financial buckets with multiple streams of income so that you can have more leisure time and less stress while scaling your impact in the world. All you need to do is stop making excuses, and just decide to win. The main point is that most people really don't know who they were born to be, so they can't effectively contribute to the world. I strongly believe that quiet time, prayer, and meditation will help solve those problems because it has helped me. Having a calm spirit by unplugging from all of the distractions of the modern world and clearing your mind can lead to a more meaningful life. Reading books and listening to positive things will help you connect the dots and see how you can "scale your impact." When you put your plan in place, you will find out how to make a difference, and you will see how to make a positive impact in this world while making money at the same time. |
