Build Your Own Website

When I first came online to make money I feared having a website. I would always try to find something like Blogger here to host my website and provide a basic design. Since learning HTML and CSS I have successfully been about to do a do it yourself website.

The main thing is buy a few reference books and search for some online tutorials, then practice, practice practice.

Get your first domain name over at NameCheap.com and then buy your hosting as ResellerEdge.com

This will get you off to a good start and you really can't beat it. Practice building web pages and making small changes. Once you come up with something you like then you can FTP it to your web hosting and the world will be able to see it!

Once you build your first website you can submit website to Google to get included in their rankings(if you choose, this may not always be the best thing to do).

How To Get Rid Of Mice

Recently in the detached garage I found a couple mice. I immediately came in and search on Google for how to get rid of mice. They are so annoying and my girl friend freaks up whenever she sees them.

I found two solutions that have worked very well.

1) The standard mouse traps - although I did catch my girl friends finger when trying to set it.

2) Anti-freeze in a bucket. The mice jump in and can't get out.

Do not use the anti freeze if the area where you are placing it is accessible to pets(yours or your neighbors) or obviously little kids.


Stock Market News - Updates You Can Use

Recently I have been looking for a place to keep up with stock market news. With the economy in the condition it is in and many businesses clinging for life being up to date on all the latest news and resources from the market is important.

Some places that I use currently to keep track of the business news:

1) Yahoo Finance - This is usually the first place I look to start my research.

2) Google Alerts - I will setup an alert to follow certain companies I am interested in.

3) MarketNumber.com - This site aggregates a lot of the news in one easy to view place.

The Best Way To Save Money

Saving money is the true path to wealth creation. The following article will discuss the best way to save money.

1) Cut out unnecessary things. Today I went through and canceled the many things I am subscribed to online that I no longer use(newsletters, scripts with a monthly fee etc...). You can do this same thing with house hold expenses(how about that satellite radio that you rarely use).

2) Negotiate with your phone, internet and cable companies for the best rate possible. Let them know they are a commodity and can be easily replaced.

3) See if you can get a cheaper rate for you auto insurance.

4) When you go to the grocery store always use the put 3 back rule. Do your normal shopping and before going to check out look at your cart and put 3 things back. This will make you think before you purchase and will often allow you to cut out some impulse buys or things you don't really need.
