Will you and your money making idea be the Alex Tex of 2007? You remember Alex, a year ago today he made one million dollars on his website selling pixels! To my amazement, the site is still up-Very cool. I don’t know that I have the creativity of Alex but I hope you do if that is your desire for this year.
One of the money strategies that I have found to be successful over the years is to have a quarterly project. For example, let’s assume you have $10,000 dollars in debt that you want to eliminate this year. You have a very good idea what if any money you will be able to commit from your earnings to eliminate this debt-factor that in and then plan on four special money making projects for the year-one every quarter!

These projects could include consulting, selling items on Ebay, affiliate programs, a second job income etc. If you break it down on a quarterly basis it’s much more manageable and gives you a specific time frame and dollar amount to check yourself on. Give this a try if you’ve never done it. It works and if you have some creative ideas to share with others please feel free to comment! Here is the Million Dollar Idea post from a year ago today! PS Shoot me a link from that PR 7 Alex!

The Money Idea for 2007!

When Charles Dickens wrote “A Christmas Carol” in 1843, he was driven as much by financial desperation as inspiration! The story met with instant success, selling 6,000 copies within a week, and it has never been out of print since.

Dickens wrote the classic tale to pay off crippling debt. Though this story was written more than 150 years ago…People were still making bad decisions about debt. Are we any better off today-Have we learned anything from 150 years of history? Let’s hope so and I look forward to brining you the very best in Cash Flow ideas for the year 2007. This article was sent to me by a reader and the author is Candace Bahr, who is the co-founder of Women’t Institute for Financial Education. I will attempt to get a copy of the entire article-it was clever! Update: Read the article-Learn from the lessons of Scrooge.
