Financial Resolutions for 2006: Earn Extra Income

I'd like to be aggressive and set a goal to earn $10,000 extra next year from side businesses. I don't have a firm plan for doing this other than the following ideas:

1. Writing -- I do freelance writing (personal finance articles, of course) and can make maybe $2,000 by knocking out six or seven of them.

2. Blogging -- I donate the proceeds from blogging to charity, but I'm still counting it in my total. I'm going high and saying I can earn $5,000 from blogging (it could be more or less, I need to run the numbers -- which I'll do before I post my blogging resolutions).

3. Speaking -- I have one speaking engagement already for $500. Let's say I can get one more, so I earn $1,000 here.

That still leaves me $2,000 short. I need to get some more ideas or make the above three ideas work harder. I'm not giving up on my $10k goal.

Wow! Thanks for your post. Your post really remind me that now is almost the end of the year 2005. It is time to set some goal for next year. What I want achieve next year? Healthier? Make some money? Or Start a business? Maybe I should take out my notepad and write down my goal now. Anyway, thank you for your post. (I'm a big fan of your blog!)

$5000 from blogging? How do you do that?

Jeremy --

I haven't yet -- but if this blog keeps growing like it has been so far, I should be in that ballpark by the end of next year.

This is exactly what I am looking to do right now.. there is not need to have only one stream of income coming in..

[MM @ PFBlog]

How d you get the freelance job? I'd like to write personal finance article for money too :-)

[FMF]

Ha! :-)

I started writing years ago -- writing for free -- then slowly worked my way up to better and better paying gigs. It takes time, lots of effort, and some luck.

I am posting this because you said you are open to looking at additional methods of making money....

This business has a price tag on it. But it is a real and legitimate business, recognized 2006 by CNN
& Discovery Channel on TV.

PAS is being featured in a segment on "Innovative Home-Based Business Solutions" as part of the
Models of Excellence series. The program is called -Pulse On America- This is scheduled and is
airing 50 times through August and September 2006!

This segment is airing nationally on the Discovery Channel and regionally in conjunction with CNN Headline News.

PAS is globally known for its superior tools, support, and products to help online entrepreneurs build wealth
and financial success.

PAS' multi-million dollar prospecting system automatically directs traffic to your Websites (we give you the Websites
for free- or you can promote existing businesses or sites you already own) through Internet, print, television, and radio
advertising. PAS-the prosperity automated system also advertises for you on Sirius Satellite radio.

If you chose, you can be totally passive and do no additional marketing, by just utilizing their Traffic Paks
that distribute the leads coming in from the Discovery Channel airings, the Sirius Satellite spots,
and the online/offline marketing mentioned above... however with your talent for writing you could also do
article marketing and bring some nice traffic to your PAS business, once it is set up.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Prospects that express an interest in your PAS business site are given a thorough
presentation tour of the PAS system by professionally trained support staff PAS has trained and selected.
Prospects are NEVER subjected to any type of hard-sell.

What this means to you is, as owner of a PAS business, YOU do NO selling EVER. It is done for you! It also
means that this business works for you in the background. Ideal for busy people living busy lives.

PAS is NOT a hobbie. There is a 1-TIME Business License fee. Somewhere in the very low-range of what a
Franchise would cost.

So you are not surprised, I will lay out the Business License costs here, so you don't waste your time if it is
not in your budget.

THIS IS A ONE-TIME FEE:

- Premiere Business License Fee: US$3,895
Benefit from 7 income streams, and earn from $1,100 (£630, €940) to $3,000 (£1,725, €2,560) per PAS system sale.
Package includes 5 feature packed websites & all hosting, one PAS traffic pack for your 1st month, full back-up &
support, plus unlimited personal prospect follow-up & closure of all your leads worldwide, for a minumum of 3 years.

- Basic Business License Fee: US$1,995
Includes everything as above, plus you'll benefit from 7 income streams, and earn a maximum of $1,100 (£630, €940)
per PAS system sale, irrespective of the package sale value.

- Associate Fee: US$49.00
At the Associate level, you will be required to pass up your first 3 sales, thereby losing out on your first $9,000
commission. PAS does not follow-up on any of your leads at this level. If you are interested in being an Associate
Only, please click below to find out more. You will not receive a phone call, and your Associate status will be
confirmed by email.

There is a very informative, no obligation 'Call Me FREE & Tell Me More' Form at this page, so you can find out
more about all three Business licenses.

Here is what you need to do now:

1. Visit the page: http://www.megawealthy.com/3460/index10.asp

2. Watch the movie.
Read the success stories. These are REAL people and some of them give back, by participating in live and online
recorded trainings all for your benefit. We will provide lots and lots of support on all levels.

3. Fill out the 'Call Me FREE & Tell Me More - Contact Request Form'.

A team leader will call you back and answer any and ALL questions on my behalf. NO OBLIGATION EVER!

The timing is right to join the most lucrative Home*Business
on the Net today.

This is quite possibly the information you have been waiting for.

It certainly was for me. I'm a WAHM. A Mom with two young boys. Life is very busy and I certainly do not
have the time to be sitting on the phone or infront of the computer for hours. We have school, and team
sports and play dates to attend! PAS works for us brilliantly!

Success is a Choice. Step up and make it happen for you!

Tracey Anne

P.S.
Act now and you will be part of this incredible television
exposure through PAS' innovative Traffic Paks.

Come see why CNN and The Discovery Channel selected PAS, over and above a 100 other business
opportunities.
