How to Make Extra Money Each Month (13 Steps)


Inventory your personal skills and talents. Ask people who know you well to do the same. Think outside the box for skills that may not seem marketable. Take a skills assessment test at your local employment office, which will give you an inventory of potential jobs that match your skills.
Note the time slots you have available to work. Consider the effects on your family, if applicable. Categorize potential jobs in order of preference, matching preferred jobs with available time slots.
Apply for the preferred jobs with the pretext of working a maximum number of hours. Discuss your specific availability during the interview process to avoid conflicts later.

How to Design Tattoos to Make Money in Second Life


The first step to earning some money making tattoos on Second Life is to create the design itself. Now, there are template files available on second life as well as some download able ones on the internet available in the typical picture file formats. These templates will help you control the position of the tattoo when it is applied to a character. So, keep in mind the relative size and position of the tattoo you are making to the avatar of which they will be applied.
Now, if you prefer drawing and designing in real life -I personally prefer drawing the old fashioned way myself -you know, with a pen and paper, but I must admit that since I bought a wacom drawing tablet thing I've been doing a lot more digital drawing -they make awesome tablets and it feels more like real life drawing than I expected, So if any of you fellow artists out there have wondered if they are worth a &%$@ -oohh yeah! Anyway, back on the topic, if you want to use physical drawings, then you will need to first scan your pictures with a scanner (or take a digital photo if you don't have access to a scanner.)
Now take your digital picture file (or draw your tattoo with photo editing software -which if you are creating the tattoo during this process, you may find it better to use the body outline template discussed earlier and put it on a layer underneath the layer you are drawing your tattoo on.) Once you have your completed digital tattoo picture that is cropped, cleaned up and fit to match the body texture template continue to the next step.
Take your completed picture and convert it to the file format of your choosing -in this case, since it is a line drawing -I would recommend a .png file format, some prefer other formats and that's fine, but a .png file is more scaling friendly for line drawings. Also, one more thing to consider, if it is a large detailed file, you may wish to break it up into layers (some use as many as three layers to maximize the detail and look of realism relative to the avatar through which it is being worn.) Experiment and decide what works best for you, sometimes one layer is enough.
Now, take your picture files and upload them as a texture to your second life account. Find them in your inventory and apply them to an object of your choosing. Many people will package their tattoos as a transparent undershirt object and layer up with other shirts, however this can also be annoying or impossible if someone wants to wear the tattoo along with a shirt. Alternatively, you can make the tattoo a part of a direct skin texture, if you go this route though, you will want to make the tattoo include a desirable skin texture so that the user can still have good looking skin with your tattoo. I've seen it done both ways and both ways work fine. Any simple texture should do.
Now it's time to prepare the tattoo for sale, first take your tattoo object you've created and right click the object and then click 'edit' now from the open window, and finally click 'for sale' and set a price. Also, a packaging is necessary -I have an article that explains this a little more clearly, but the process is pretty simple, if you already know how to skip the next step, otherwise continue reading....
Okay, you want to create a package to sell your tattoo in, this typically comes in the form of a small poster or a box which displays your tattoo and some general information at your discretion. You can list the price, layers, how its worn ect. To do so -you will probably want to either find someone to model your tattoo or model it yourself so people will see on the box art/ picture how the tattoo is going to look. Create this picture with a screen capture and transfer the modeled tattoo picture into your preferred photo editing software. Then make it look good, add the information you want, although, i would suggest avoiding putting a price on the picture as money in second life, is just like money in real life -it fluctuates like an organism, so putting a price on the picture may result in you having to redo the picture later if the price needs to go up or down. Put your name on the picture and make a brand name for yourself while your at it, so if people appreciate your skills, they might just come back to you for more. Once you have created the box art, apply it to an object in second life as you did with your tattoo, but make it a package object that contains your tattoo when your cost is met via the for sale option.
Once you have taken your tattoo design and plugged it into an object within second life, its time to market and promote it. Take your tattoos to shopping malls and areas you think your tattoo might sell and rent out a space, and build up your store -keep track of how much you spend promoting and be careful not to spend to much in the process -with a watchful eye, you should learn the market and process pretty quickly, and in doing so make some decent money! Don't give up!!!! And, for the most part, the people on Second Life are great people and will most likely have more good pointers and help for you. Dr. Snot wishes you luck and success fellow artist!!!!

How to Make Money with the Google Affiliate Program


Sign up with the Google Affiliate Network. Use the link in the resources section of this article. You'll have to enter basic information about yourself and your website. It may take a day or two to receive your acceptance email.
Log into your account. After you've been accepted, you can revisit the Google Affiliate Network site and log in.
Search for products or advertisers that fit your niche. For successful affiliate marketing, you need to match the right offer with your audience. For example, if your website is about camping, then you should look for companies that sell camping supplies. You can do this by clicking on either the 'Products' or 'Advertisers' buttons at the top of your screen.
Apply to the advertisers that interest you. Click on the small box next to the advertiser names, then click on the 'Apply to selected' button at the top of the screen. Some advertisers will approve you immediately, while others manually approve applicants.
Get the advertising code for your website. You can view a list of your approved advertisers under the 'Advertisers' and 'Approved' links. You can click on the 'Actions' button and scroll down to 'Get links.' This shows you the available ads.
Place the ad code on your website. If you're using a blog like WordPress, you can usually put it in a text-based widget. If you're using HTML, you'll need to modify the code to properly show the advertisement.
Monitor your advertising campaigns. If you aren't having success with a particular ad, swap it out for a different ad from the same company or change companies altogether.

How to Earn a PHD in Finance (7 Steps)


Read the free job opportunities section of the 'Chronicle of Higher Education' online edition. Get an overview of demand in academia for finance PhDs. This respected publication also lists positions in industry for advanced degree holders.
Review the US News and World Report ranking of the nation's top business schools to narrow the list of choices by location, program length, faculty and student body characteristics.
Select a minimum of five schools that closely match your degree choice. Request application forms and information about financial support. Almost all PhD students are supported by fellowships and teaching assistantships during their first year.
Choose at least three schools and complete the application process. If you have doubts about your qualifications or don't have your Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) scores, start by applying to middle and lower tier schools. These schools are more flexible than first tier schools and they do admit candidates with less than perfect academic qualifications and test scores.
Register and prepare for the GMAT. Buy exam study guides or check them out from your local library. Take online practice tests you have time. The GMAT is now a computer-based exam. Download free exam practice software at the MBA website. Take practice tests before the exam.
Finish the admissions process for the fall semester by early December of the current year. Order all your transcripts as soon as you have selected the schools. Most graduate programs application deadlines fall between December and January. Many colleges close for the holidays at this time.
Complete the required courses. Conduct research, prepare and defend your dissertation. Estimate a minimum of five years for all courses and other requirements. The national average is seven to eight years.
