How to Become an eBook Dealer
Sign up as an affiliate or reseller for affiliate program networks with large selections of e-books such as ClickBank, E-Junkie or PayDotCom. These networks provides a marketplace where authors list their e-books and affiliate marketers sell the e-books listed.
Choose a topic that interests you and with which you are familiar. Search or browse through the affiliate network's directory or marketplace to find e-books related to your chosen topic. For each e-book of interest, analyze the information offered including sales price, affiliate commission and e-book description. Click on the name of the e-book to read a detailed description and to visit its promotional webpage.
Search for the e-book title surrounded by quotes followed by the word 'review' in popular search engines such as Google or Yahoo. Read through a sample of search results to determine customer satisfaction with the e-book purchase.
Generate a custom affiliate link for each e-book you wish to promote. In order to credit affiliates for e-book sales, the affiliate network creates a link that embeds the affiliate identification number within the e-book seller's webpage link. Follow the affiliate network's instructions on link creation.
Create a website to promote your chosen e-books. Build a homepage that describes your chosen topic and includes navigational links to to e-book listings. Create a webpage for each e-book with detailed information and pricing. Link to the e-book seller's webpage using your custom link created in Step 4.
Promote your e-book website using online channels such as website directories, social networks, forums and paid search listings. Track sales through your affiliate network and remove e-books from your site that do not sell. Update your website and keep your visitors interested by frequently listing new e-books for sale.

How to Earn Income From Home
Choose what you would like to do for a living. You don't have a boss when you work from home, so you need to enjoy your work or else you may have trouble motivating yourself to do it. Consider what activities --- writing, web design or babysitting, for example --- you could do all day.
Search job listings for at-home opportunities for the work you want to do. The websites Craigslist, Indeed and Simply Hired post jobs, as does your local newspaper. Reply to listings that interest you with a resume or detail of your expertise. Be prepared to provide references.
Make your own job opportunity if there are none that interest you in job listings. Decide where you'll find clients --- for example, with local publications if you want to be a writer --- and brainstorm about how you will advertise your business.
Visit your local Small Business Administration office to learn what permits or fees are necessary to work from home in your area. Whether you contract to work with someone else's business or start your own, the SBA will help you make sure you're earning income legally. Otherwise, you may face fines.
Set boundaries for your workspace in your home. Set aside a specific space where you'll do business. Inform friends and family of your working hours and ask that they interrupt you as seldom as possible during that time. Working from home allows you flexibility you don't have in a typical workplace, but without order, you can't hope to be productive.

How to Calculate Interest Semi
Divide the annual interest rate by 2 to calculate the semiannual rate. For example, if the annual interest rate equals 9.2 percent, you would divide 9.2 by 2 to find the semiannual rate to be 4.6 percent.
Divide the semiannual interest rate by 100 to covert it from a percentage to a decimal. In this example, you would divide 4.6 percent by 100 to get 0.046.
Multiply the semiannual interest rate by the balance of the account. Finishing this example, if you have a certificate of deposit that pays interest semiannually and has an account balance of $800, you would multiply $800 by 0.046 to find you will earn $36.80 in interest.

How to Make Extra Money with Massage (5 Steps)
Offer your massage services to a raffle or charity fundraiser. By donating a couple of hours of your massage time in the form of two massages that can generate funds for a good cause, you get free advertising, new potential clients and generate interest in your services.
Set up a neck and shoulders massage at local events. Summer time is a great time for town center events, street fairs and celebrations. Talk to local businesses about setting up a chair massage. These can be popular in bath and lotion shops, particularly if you use their products. You make some extra money and they get customers.
Print out business cards. VistaPrint offers 250 to 500 business cards for a low price. Offer a discount first massage on the business card and leave the cards at local businesses. This generates potential income.
Bring your own supplies for sale. Working for yourself means you make extra money, but you can also advertise other massage products, lotions and oils and make money that way.
Listen to what your client wants. If the client wants light pressure, give them light pressure. If they want to chat, chat. If they want total silence, give them total silence. In a service industry, you make more money off tips when your clients are satisfied and get what they want.

How to Build a Savings Interest Calculator in Excel
Open a new spreadsheet in Excel.
Label row 1 as follows: A1 is 'Date,' B1 is 'Balance,' C1 is 'Additional deposits' and D1 is 'Interest.' Format columns B, C and D as currency by selecting the columns and clicking on the dollar sign button in the 'Home' tab. (Users of Excel 2003, click the dollar symbol on the Formatting toolbar.)
Call your bank or look at your account online to find out when the bank adds interest payments to your account.
Fill in column A with interest payment dates, starting with the most recent date your account received an interest payment. If your bank adds interest payments monthly, use monthly dates (October 1, November 1, etc.); if it pays annually, add dates by year. For example, if your last interest payment was October 1, 2009, the next date will be October 1, 2010.
Type the current balance of your savings account into cell B2.
Fill in column C with additional deposits. If you deposit $500 into the account in the interval between interest payments, enter '500' in cells C2, C3, and down as far as you'd like. If you deposit irregularly, leave those cells blank but enter figures each time you make a deposit. You can combine these approaches, entering a minimum figure and adding to it if you make more deposits.
Enter the following calculation in cell D2, without the quotation marks: '=B2+C2+x
(B2+C2)' where x is the interest rate. The interest rate type--daily, monthly, annually or other--must match the intervals between the dates in column A (step 4). Remember to multiply the interest rate expressed as a percentage by .01. So a 1.5 percent interest rate calculated once a year gives you a multiplier of 0.015. In this case your formula would be '=B2+C2+.015
(B2+C2)'. If the same interest rate was applied monthly instead of annually, your formula would be '=B2+C2+(0.015/12)*(B2+C2)'.
Copy cell D2 and paste in cells D3, D4 and on down as far as you'd like.
Navigate to cell B3 and type (without the quotation marks) '=D2'. This will cause Excel to display the formula result--your account balance after the interest payment--in cell B3.
Copy cell B3 and paste in cells B4, B5 and on down as far as you'd like.
Save the spreadsheet and close it.

How to Earn Money from Photography (6 Steps)
Set up a photography blog to show off your work. If money is an issue, use a free blogging platform such as Blogger or WordPress. Choose a layout that is designed to show off photographs. Make pages for a blog, an 'About Me' section and for details about pricing and contact information.
Put out a set of initial blog posts that displays your best work. Write a brief paragraph or two about the pictures and include them directly in the post. Gain permission from subjects before displaying their pictures on your blog. Share links to each post on your social media profiles, and email them to your friends and family to get the word out about your photography and generate interest.
Give away free sessions to build your portfolio. Offer a limited number of free shoots in return for the subject's permission to use his images on your photography blog. After that, offer an introductory price for photo sittings to get customers in the door. At each photo shoot, hand out business cards so your subjects can pass them on to their friends and family.
Photograph events in your community. Show up at sporting events, theatrical productions and festivals, and take a wide range of photos, aiming to get as many people as possible. Put a limited number of photos on your blog with a description of the event, and upload the full collection to a website such as Kodak Galleries, where interested people can order individual prints. This strategy is particularly useful for elementary and high school events, where parents will want action shots of their children.
Sell your extra photos to stock photography sites. You can use extras from a photo shoot or go out and take stock photos. Stock photos are used in everything from magazine articles to websites, and they encompass a wide range of subjects. Improve your chances of a sale by including multiple versions of the same scene, in landscape and portrait orientation, to accommodate different uses by buyers.
Print and mount your photos and sell them at local outlets. Offer them for display and sale in coffee shops, community art centers and photo galleries. Ask around at other outlets, including libraries and craft stores, to see if they will display your photos. Include a small card with each photo that lists your name and website URL.

How to Make Money Flipping Websites
Identify the niche you want to work in. Choose a niche you are familiar with, and focus on niches that will continue to grow rather than ones that may prove to be fads.
Design a simple website that immediately catches your visitors’ attention. You have only a few seconds to catch their interest before they click on the 'Back' button, so compel your visitors to stay on your website.
Buy a website with potential if you don't have Web design skills or you simply don’t want to build a website from scratch. Flip that website by making it valuable to your target market.
Drive traffic to your website through pay-per-click advertising, article marketing, forum marketing and other advertising methods. If you want to eventually flip your website, you must prove that you have a steady stream of visitors every month.
Make sure your website is making money, whether it’s the residual income of a membership site or income from selling niche products. In addition to the traffic your website draws, potential buyers will want to know how much money the website brings in every month.
Begin advertising the sale of your website once you’ve got adequate traffic and the website is making decent money monthly. Create a powerful sales letter to sell your website.
Sell your website to the highest bidder, and start working on your next website flip.

How to Make a Million Dollars in the Stock Market
Open an IRA or account that allows money to grow pre-tax. The government wants its people to be wealthy, which is why they've allowed people to open investment vehicles like IRAs that don't get taxed until you retire. If you own your own business, there are other versions of IRAs, which allow you invest even more money each year than if you are an individual.
Start early and invest often. The biggest proponent on your side is time. The longer you invest, the more money you will make. At about a 7 percent interest rate your money doubles every 10 years. Now, of course there are some years where you earn 12 percent on your money and others where you squeak out 2 percent. But it's all about the long-term picture.
Accumulate $75,000 by the time you are 28 years old. Following our example of money doubling every 10 years, this will give you about $1.2 million by the time you are 68 years old. Throw in whatever pension or 401(k) plan you accumulated during your working years, the average person would easily be able to retire in their mid-fifties. So the simple goal is to put aside $7,500 per year, or $625 per month or $20 per day. (Note that at current IRA limitations, you would have to open a separate brokerage account for $2,500 of the $7,500.)
Invest in the S and P index. Every money manager on Wall Street tries to beat the S and P. The S and P is an index that represents the broadest breath of the stock market and holds 500 of the top companies found in the US and abroad. So if the economy is flying, the S and P may earn 15 percent in a year. If we are in weak economic times, then it may only earn 3 percent. But since 1871, the S and P has returned an average of 9.4 percent (ahead of previously discussed projections.) And if you move forward in history that number gets as high as 13.4 percent per year from 1980 through 2005. (Which includes the dot-com bubble.)
Leave your money alone. Unless catastrophic events occur, the moral of the story is buy and hold. That's not to say that you should have some other money on the side that you invest more aggressively. But keep your original nugget of cash working on the side. Follow these steps and you'll easily make a million dollars in the stock market.

How to Make Money and Get Rich with Passive Income
Invest in stocks. Stocks appreciate in value, pay dividends and are a great source of passive income. Stocks make money in such large quantities that, overtime, they could eventually replace your income.
Buy Bonds. Bonds provide passive income in the form of interest payments. Essentially, buying bonds is lending money to a business. In return, you make money by collecting interest every year. At the end of the loan, you receive the original amount you lent out.
Collect royalties. Royalties are stems of passive income paid to people for the usage of a certain asset. Often times, royalties are collected by writers, actors, inventors, and owners of land and patents. For example, imagine you own a piece of land that has large quantities of marble stone. If you rent the land to a marble factory that mines and sells the stone, you could collect royalties from all the marble it sells.
Buy real estate. Real estate is a great way to make money and earn passive income. Real estate provides money in the form of rent and also appreciates in value over time.
Open a business. Building a business is a great way to earn passive income and get rich. However, it is a bit more difficult and involves a lot of upfront work.

How to Earn Extra Money To Pay Off Debt (5 Steps)
Change your tax withholding. You can earn extra money in your paycheck each week just by changing your withholding. This may not sound very appealing to you if you enjoy getting a huge refund each year. However, if you use the extra money wisely every pay day to pay off debt or put in savings to collect interest, then it is definitely worth considering. Just don't withhold more than your allowable deductions or you may end up owing money next year.
Earn extra money with your clutter. Sell something that you have but don't need. Chances are that you are holding on to items that are worth something that have no sentimental value. Downsize now and start freeing yourself from clutter. After you get an idea of what sells on eBay or on other sites like Craigslist, you can start visiting garage sales and second-hand shops for items that you can purchase cheaply and sell for a profit.
Earn extra money with garage sales or consignment shops. This is a great alternative for those items that just just don't seem to be selling on eBay. You may not be able to earn extra money each month doing this, but you can still use what you earn to pay off debt.
Work online. This may seem easier said than done, but you really can earn extra money online writing or editing for any number of sites or employers. In most cases, the income wont be immediate, but down the road you can start bringing in a decent income.
Get a part-time job. Yes this may sound like a very unappealing way to earn extra money, but if you can find something to supplement your income just long enough to pay off debt, you will be better off in the long run.
