<div class="speakable-paragraph" style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">For many people, making money online would be an absolute dream come true. If they could find a way to make money with a website or some other online venture, they could quit their job to focus on entrepreneurship, spend more time with their family, and finally take back control of their time and their lives.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The crazy thing is, earning money online isn’t a pipe dream. </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">I also know thousands of other people who are earning money online their own way with websites, courses, or unique marketing strategies.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now, here’s the good news. The majority of online revenue strategies aren’t that complicated. Like any business venture, your online income takes time to grow. You need to be willing to devote the time and energy required to get your idea off the ground, and you need grit to stick with it even if your journey is slow when you first start out. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">

<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#1: Google Adsense</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you've visited any website, you've seen Google ads. These ads are everywhere, and for good reason. Not only are they easy to set up on any basic website, but they can be lucrative once your website starts bringing in a steady amount of traffic.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">One of the cool things about Google AdSense is that it's so easy to get set up. If you </span><a data-ga-track="InternalLink:https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertadams/2017/03/12/how-to-start-a-blog-that-earns-a-real-income/" href="https://mahaba5.blogspot.com/" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_self">have a blog or website</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">, you can sign up for a free Google AdSense Account. From there, Google will give you a unique code that you will paste onto your website. Google takes it from there, tracking your page views, traffic, and earnings on your behalf. There is no upkeep or maintenance to get this thing going, which makes it a no-brainer if you have a website already. </span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#2: Affiliate Marketing</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Whether you have a website or are still dreaming up ideas for a blog, you can also look into affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing, you partner with brands and businesses within the content of your website. If you mention a product or service, you link to that produce or service using a unique affiliate code you received when you signed up for that particular affiliate program. From there, you’ll make money any time someone buys a product or service through your link.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Generally speaking, you’ll want to partner with affiliates that are related to your blog concept. Since I’m a financial advisor, I have focused a lot of my affiliate energy on financial products like savings accounts, credit cards, and investment accounts.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">In addition to signing up for individual affiliate programs, you can also sign up for an affiliate ad network that offers a ton of different affiliates in one place. That way, you can see what works and what doesn’t work over time.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">If you’re looking for inspiration, my friend Michelle Schroeder-Gardner of the website Making Sense of Sense has become the expert on all things affiliate marketing. Michelle earns more than $100,000 per month from her blog and the bulk of her income comes from affiliate sales. Michelle has had so much success with affiliate marketing that she even has her own course called</span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://makingsenseofaffiliatemarketing.com/" href="https://makingsenseofaffiliatemarketing.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"> <span data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://makingsenseofaffiliatemarketing.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">While Michelle works with a ton of affiliates in the financial services industry, one of her biggest affiliates is a blog hosting company called Bluehost. This just goes to show that you can make money with nearly any affiliate company or product if you know your audience and build up enough traffic to create sales.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#3: Consulting</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another way to make money online is via consulting. If you’re an expert in any field, you could potentially find people willing to pay you to counsel them on their personal or business goals. You might think you’re not important enough to consult for big companies, but you could be surprised at the types of expertise people will pay for.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">My colleague Robert Farrington of</span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:http://www.thecollegeinvestor.com/" href="http://www.thecollegeinvestor.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"> <span data-ga-track="ExternalLink:http://www.thecollegeinvestor.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box;">The College Investor</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> is a good example of someone who consulted online on the side in an unlikely industry. Robert told me that, after he had been blogging for a few years, a couple of brands reached out to him to ask him for help with social media and online marketing.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Robert said he did an average of 4-6 of these gigs per year for a while depending on his schedule and the work involved. The best part is, he charged a flat rate that usually worked out to around $100 per hour. And remember, this was pay he was earning to advise people on the best ways to use social media tools like Facebook and Pinterest to grow their brands.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">If you want to start consulting but aren’t sure what steps to take next, you can also set up a free account through</span> <a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://clarity.fm/" href="https://clarity.fm/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Clarity.fm</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">. This website lets anyone who wants to offer consulting set up a free profile. Once your profile is set up, people will find you and book a session you’ll get paid for.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">If you have any skill you can teach others, it’s also possible to set up an online course you can market online. You can find online courses that teach anything from cooking to marketing or even freelance writing. Heck, I even offer my own course for financial advisors who want to take their businesses online—</span> <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Online Advisor Growth Formula</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">.  </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Last year, I</span><a data-ga-track="InternalLink:https://www.forbes.com/sites/jrose/2017/09/12/how-to-make-over-100000-per-year-creating-online-courses/#1c0d9f272157" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jrose/2017/09/12/how-to-make-over-100000-per-year-creating-online-courses/#1c0d9f272157" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_self"> <span data-ga-track="InternalLink:https://www.forbes.com/sites/jrose/2017/09/12/how-to-make-over-100000-per-year-creating-online-courses/#1c0d9f272157" style="box-sizing: border-box;">profiled my friend Joseph Michael of Easy Course Creation</span></a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">. Michael offers several different courses, including courses on a writing software called “Scrivener.” Over the years, Michael has earned six figures or more annually selling courses that help people achieve the kind of success he has earned.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Most people set up their online course through a platform like Teachable.com. With Teachable, you can upload your course materials and use the platform to manage customers and accept payments.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#5: Podcasting</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another way to make money online is by hosting an online podcast. I have the Good Financial Cents podcast to go along with my blog, and I use that platform to find new sponsors and advertisers all the time.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">I still remember getting my first sponsor on the podcast and finding out they were willing to pay $8,000 for me to include a short clip at the beginning of each podcast for 90 days. That was insanely exciting to me at the time since I wasn’t sure I would be able to monetize my podcast that much at first.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">However, there are tons of people making </span><i style="box-sizing: border-box;">a lot more</i><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> than me on their podcasts. Take the Entrepreneur On Fire Podcast hosted by John Lee Dumas. According to the show’s most recent </span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.eofire.com/income/" href="https://www.eofire.com/income/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">income report</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">, this podcast brought in a net income of over $400,000 in March 2018. Now, that’s crazy.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">The key to getting ahead with podcasting is finding your niche, growing an audience, and then finding ways to monetize and connect with sponsors. This isn’t the easiest way to make money online since there are a lot of logistics that go into writing, recording, and editing a podcast, but it is still worth considering.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#6: Book Sales</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">While the publishing industry used to be heavy in print, you can complete the entire process of writing, publishing, and marketing a book online these days. Websites like <a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://www.createspace.com/" href="https://www.createspace.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Create Space</a> will let you upload and take your book to print without getting a formal publisher involved, and you can even get your book on Amazon.com so people can buy it there.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">A blogger I know named Joseph Hogue has a successful blog (</span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://myworkfromhomemoney.com/" href="https://myworkfromhomemoney.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">My Work from Home Money</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">) and a thriving book publishing business. Hogue has written several books he has published online to create an ongoing source of passive income. He says he averages about 685 books sold per month to bring in an average of $1,857 in revenue. Not bad, huh?</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you think you could write a book people would want to buy, this is a smart strategy to consider since the start-up costs can be minimal and you probably already have a computer and word processing software anyway.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#7: Lead Sales</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Another way to make money online is by collecting leads. The main steps you need to complete to make lead sales work include setting up a website, getting traffic to that website, and making sure you’re collecting leads that someone will actually pay for.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Here’s a good example of how lead sales can work in real life: My second website,</span> <a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:https://lifeinsurancebyjeff.com/" href="https://lifeinsurancebyjeff.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Life Insurance by Jeff</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">, brings in a ton of traffic from people who are searching the web to find answers to life insurance questions. While I used to have the website set up so I could sell these people life insurance myself, it was a lot of work to process all the different requests and clients. As a result, I started selling the leads I gathered instead.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Basically, lead buyers are willing to pay for the personal information I gather from people who visit my website. This is a win-win for everyone since I get paid for the leads and my website visitors are connected with someone who can help them.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Keep in mind though, you can sell leads in many different industries —not just life insurance. Really, you just need to figure out a niche, build a website and traffic, and see how much you can get for the leads you collect.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you have writing skills and creative talent, it’s also possible to get paid to create online content. I don’t do this as much as I used to, but I am very aware of how viable this income stream is.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">One blogger I know, Holly Johnson, actually makes over $200,000 per year creating content for other websites. And actually, that’s</span><i style="box-sizing: border-box;"> on top of </i><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">the six figures she earns with her blog, Club Thrifty.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Holly told me she started writing content in 2011. At the time, she still worked a full-time job but created content online part-time to supplement her income. Over time, she was able to double and triple her rates until she could quit her full-time job to write. These days, she makes bank as a freelance writer and teaches others to do the same via her online course,</span><a data-ga-track="ExternalLink:http://www.earnmorewriting.com/" href="http://www.earnmorewriting.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Earn More Writing</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">According to Johnson, the key to making it as a freelance writer is figuring out a niche, networking with people who might hire you, and delivering high quality content 100 percent of the time. While there are a ton of writing job boards to help you get started, she says it’s fairly easy to find starter writing jobs on websites like Upwork.com.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#9: Sponsored Posts</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you have a website or a large social media following, you can also make money by pursuing sponsored posts and ads. But, how does this work? Basically, companies are willing to pay bloggers and social media influencers to promote their products and services. If you have a platform, be it a blog or a huge Instagram following, you can cash in.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first time I got a sponsored post for Good Financial Cents, I was totally blown away. I think I got paid only $100, but that was a lot of money to me at the time. Later on, however, I realized companies that wanted a sponsored post really just wanted a link from my website to their own site. For that reason, I started increasing my rates.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">These days, I charge around $4,500 for a sponsored post. Plus, I clearly mark all sponsored content as an #ad to stay in compliance with Google’s terms and conditions. I also only promote companies I use or believe in.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">But, I also know bloggers that get $20,000 for a sponsored post. That’s pretty crazy, but it just goes to show what is possible.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Keep in mind though, you don’t need a website to do sponsored content since you can also get paid if you have a lot of social media followers. My wife has a pretty big Instagram following, and she gets all kinds of sponsorships. Not only does she get paid in cash, but we get a lot of free stuff, too. We’ve received free rugs, free lights, and free carpet cleaners. She only promotes things she loves though, so this strategy works really well for her.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#10: Webinars</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Need more ideas on how to make money online? Another strategy is using webinars to market your product, service, or course. I’ve done webinars to promote my financial planning practice and to drum up interest in my online course for financial advisors. With a webinar, you’re basically offering a lot of tips and advice for free — usually in a live format. At the end though, you pitch your paid product or service with the goal of securing a few deals.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">

While Baldwin offers plenty of free tips during his webinar, he offers his course at the end for people who want to pay to learn more. And, a lot of times, his sales pitch works.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">No matter what you’re selling, it’s not that hard to set up a webinar and attract people to sign up with a lead magnet or Facebook ads. Heck, you can probably find a free webinar on how to create your first webinar if you look hard enough.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#11: YouTube</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">YouTube is another platform that has made it possible for people to earn money online. There are a ton of YouTube channels out there on any topic if you can think of, and most of the people with a big following are earning some money in exchange for their videos and time.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Last year, Forbes profiled some of the </span><a data-ga-track="InternalLink:https://www.forbes.com/sites/maddieberg/2017/12/07/the-highest-paid-youtube-stars-2017-gamer-dantdm-takes-the-crown-with-16-5-million/#373fea6e1397" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/maddieberg/2017/12/07/the-highest-paid-youtube-stars-2017-gamer-dantdm-takes-the-crown-with-16-5-million/#373fea6e1397" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_self">biggest players in the YouTube scene</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">. According to the study, the top ten biggest grossing YouTube stars brought in $127 million from June 2016 to June 2017. The most popular, a gamer named DanTDM, earned $16.5 million of that on his own.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Will you earn that much? Probably not. However, you can start making money via YouTube using the platform’s own ad network or by getting sponsored posts. If you like doing videos, starting a YouTube channel can a fun way to earn some cash on the side.</span></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Work Sans", sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.6rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">#12: Build an Online Community</span></b></h3>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last but not least, you can also earn money online by building an online community, although the monetization strategies you can pursue will vary a lot depending on your goals. You can build a community with a blog, for example. You can also build an online forum and charge people for membership. You could even build up a Facebook group and use your influence there to sell and promote products.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Prior to that group, they had an online community for teachers looking for lesson plans. That probably sounds pretty random, but it's crazy the type of communities you can build and rally people around. If it's something that you're passionate about yourself and you want to connect with others that have that same passion, then an online community is something you should definitely consider.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 24px; margin-block-end: 0px; margin-block-start: 0px; margin: 1.2rem 0px;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Bottom Line</span></b></h2>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are a ridiculous number of ways to make money online and the ones I’ve covered here are just the tip of the iceberg. If you have time, a passion for almost anything, and at least some creative skill, you may be able to build an online income stream — or several — if you give it enough time.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">But, don’t just take my word for it. If you look online, you’ll find thousands of success stories you can use for inspiration.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">One day you could even create a success story of your own. But you’ll never know unless you try.</span></span></div>

However, the whole reason why I can make money online is because of blogging so if you want to make money online I suggest you get into blogging.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="background-color: #fcef79; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.15rem 0px;">Blogging is your marketing platform.</span> Fancy marketing people like to call it content marketing.</div>

Blogging gives you the opportunity to build an audience which in turn gives you the chance to open up new revenue streams.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Get this straight, blogging opens the doors for a ton of opportunities for you. So when you see other people talk about the virtues of blogging, they aren’t talking about how awesome it is to write a piece of content.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
In fact, one of the last things I want to do is sit down at a computer and write.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
They are talking about how blogging levels the playing field for individuals to be able to reach thousands or millions of people similar to a bigger company.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
My site, <a href="https://ketodash.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;">Keto Dash</a>, reaches over <span style="background-color: #fcef79; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.15rem 0px;">ONE MILLION PEOPLE A MONTH</span>. That’s completely insane to me.</div>

Every single way that I make money online is directly connected to my blogging but I don’t want to say I make money by blogging.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
That might be a small technicality but I wanted to get that out of the way.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fefefe; border: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 1.55rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
1. Ads</h3>
<div class="image" style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="making money with online ads" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-264" data-pin-nopin="true" height="526" sizes="(max-width: 1133px) 100vw, 1133px" src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/21034227/ads.jpg" srcset="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/21034227/ads.jpg 1133w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/21034227/ads-300x139.jpg 300w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/21034227/ads-768x357.jpg 768w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/21034227/ads-1024x475.jpg 1024w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(230, 230, 230); box-sizing: inherit; display: inline-block; height: auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0.5rem; vertical-align: middle;" width="1133" /></div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
This is the second easiest way from a technical standpoint to make money online because you don’t have to do much to get them set up. If you use one of the ad networks that I mentioned above then they actually do all of the work for you!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
<span style="background-color: #fcef79; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.15rem 0px;">What you do need though is a shit ton of traffic for this to be effective.</span> By this, I mean at least 30,000 page views before you even want to consider putting ads up on your site.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
I don’t use ads on all of my blogs but the few that I do, I use <a href="http://adthrive.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;">AdThrive</a> or <a href="http://mediavine.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;">Mediavine</a> and both have been wonderful.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Now I know the question you are asking is how much money do I make for the amount of traffic that I get. I get paid every time an ad is shown on my site but you get fractions of a penny for each view. For this reason, ad dollars are measured in CPM.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
This means that for every 1,000 page views I make $X amount of money.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
So with AdThrive/Mediavine, depending on the niche and the quality of ads, the CPM fluctuates between $5 – $30 per 1,000 page views.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
If I do 100,000 page views in a month (the minimum you need to apply to AdThrive) then I will make anywhere between $500 and $2,000 for that month. Again, it’s dependent on the topics that you write about.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Not bad, but not great considering the other ways that you can make money.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
However, ads are the most passive way to make money online. Your only focus is to get people to continue to come to your site which can be challenging in its own right.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
As of May 2018 I do about $15,000 a month in ad revenue.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fefefe; border: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 1.55rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
2. Affiliate Marketing</h3>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
This is the easiest way to make money online from a technical standpoint because you don’t have to do anything but post a link on your site.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
That link points to a manufacturer of some product that will pay you every time someone purchases from them.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
For example, if I run a car blog and I sign up for an affiliate program with a car parts shop, I can link the different car parts that I like on my blog and when people click on the link and purchase from the car parts shop I get a cut.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
The commission that you get is totally dependent on the affiliate program. There is no status quo. I’ve seen percentages range from 4% to 90%.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
However, <a href="https://obstacle.co/make-money-affiliate-marketing/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;" target="_blank">making money with affiliate marketing</a> is a lot harder than people present it. You might think that all you need to do is put a link on your site and then watch the money flow but that isn’t the case.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
You have to do a lot of upfront work to convince your audience that they want/need a particular product. If you can’t do that then your links will just sit there unclicked.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">

<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
I also have an awesome course dedicated to <a href="https://billionaireblogclub.com/courses/affiliate-marketing-course" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;">affiliate marketing</a> that will show you all of the steps that I take to make money with affiliate marketing.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fefefe; border: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 1.55rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
3. eBooks</h3>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
I love writing eBooks because you can make them as simple or as complicated as you want. The easiest way to make an ebook is to simply write it in some type of word processing application (Word, Pages, or Google Docs) and export it as a PDF.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
There you go. You now have an eBook that the world will enjoy.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
eBooks are a great starter product for many bloggers because everyone has the tools to create them.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Some people believe that your ebook has to be super long for it to be successful and I’ve seen 4-page ebooks do well and 200-page ebooks bomb.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
It’s completely dependent on the subject matter and what problem you are trying to solve.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
If you don’t even want to set up your own website you can go directly through <a href="https://kdp.amazon.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;">Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing</a> to reach millions of people instantly. Of course, you are dealing with a lot of competition but I know authors that make over $40,000 a month with their Kindle books.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
I have two ebooks out right now:</div>
<ul style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 1rem 1.25rem; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://billionaireblogclub.com/book/pinterest" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;" target="_blank"><i style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;">The Billionaire Blogging Pinterest Manual</i></a></li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://ketodash.com/weight-loss-manual" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;" target="_blank"><i style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: inherit;">The 3-Day Weight Loss Manual</i></a></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Both books were created with Apple Pages so you don’t need fancy technology to make these things happen.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
What service do I use to sell them?</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
I use <a href="http://getdpd.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;">DPD</a> for the Pinterest book and <a href="http://sendowl.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;">SendOwl</a> for the weight loss manual only because I wanted to try out both services and haven’t found one to be better than the other.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fefefe; border: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 1.55rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
4. Online Courses</h3>
<div class="image" style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://billionaireblogclub.com/join" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;" target="_blank"><img alt="Making money with online courses" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-707" height="339" sizes="(max-width: 1145px) 100vw, 1145px" src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052521/bbc.jpg" srcset="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052521/bbc.jpg 1145w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052521/bbc-300x89.jpg 300w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052521/bbc-768x227.jpg 768w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052521/bbc-1024x303.jpg 1024w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(230, 230, 230); box-sizing: inherit; display: inline-block; height: auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0.5rem; vertical-align: middle;" width="1145" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
This is one of the most lucrative ways to make money online when you have an audience.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
To make $1,000 with ads (on a good ad network) you need to do between 70,000 – 250,000 page views a month (remember it depends on the niche). That’s a lot of people!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
To make $1,000 with affiliate marketing you might need to sell a couple dozen/hundred items.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
With online courses, you can make $1,000 by selling just a couple (dependent on price).</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
For example, the current price (as of this writing) for the <a href="https://billionaireblogclub.com/join" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;" target="_blank">Billionaire Blog Club</a> is $400+. To make $1,000 this month from the site I will need to sell 3 seats.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
That doesn’t require me getting 100,000 people to the site. Hopefully, it only requires less than 100.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Out of these 5 methods, online courses are both the most technically involved and the most time-consuming.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
I love teaching people but I hate the process of making courses just because I like instant results.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
With my online courses, I have to come up with an outline of what the video is going to be about, plan the shots, hope that I can do it in one take, edit the video, convert the video, and then upload the video.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
This takes hours and my throat always hurts when I’m done.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
But again, I make most of my money from online courses so the effort is worth it.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: #fefefe; border: none; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 1.55rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.5rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
5. Membership Sites</h3>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Technically the <a href="https://billionaireblogclub.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;">Billionaire Blog Club</a> is a membership site that happens to have courses in it. However, most people think of membership sites as having recurring monthly or quarterly fees.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
The Billionaire Blog Club is a pay once and you get a lifetime membership type of deal.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
It’s the same thing with my weight loss membership site, <a href="https://ketodash.com/join" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(69, 173, 168); box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;" target="_blank">Keto Dash</a>.</div>
<div class="image" style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 2rem; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://ketodash.com/join" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #45ada8; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 900; line-height: inherit; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s;" target="_blank"><img alt="Keto Dash - Ketogenic Diet weight loss program" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-708" height="688" sizes="(max-width: 1506px) 100vw, 1506px" src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052922/ketodash.jpg" srcset="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052922/ketodash.jpg 1506w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052922/ketodash-300x137.jpg 300w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052922/ketodash-768x351.jpg 768w, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/struggleco-master/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06052922/ketodash-1024x468.jpg 1024w" style="border: 1px solid rgb(230, 230, 230); box-sizing: inherit; display: inline-block; height: auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0.5rem; vertical-align: middle;" width="1506" /></a></div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Each of these sites brings in over $20,000 a month.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Let me repeat…</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
EACH of these sites brings in over $20,000 a month.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Membership sites can work a number of different ways. You can simply offer a forum. You might offer monthly video lessons. You can think of a number of different things but you must make sure that you are providing continuous value to your audience.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
Membership sites usually work best once you have an established audience to work with. Starting them from scratch without an audience is difficult because people join membership sites with the intention of interacting with other like-minded individuals.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fefefe; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Heebo, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">
If they are the first one to the dance and nobody shows up for days or weeks then they will quickly lose interest.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was a Group D third match for both teams; Yanga had lost 4-0 
before drawing 0-0 to USM Alger and Rayon Sports respectively. Their 
opponents <i>K’Ogalo</i> had drawn 1-1 away against Rayon Sports before playing out to a barren draw at home against USM Alger.</span><br />
<div class="content-collapser content-collapser--wrapper opened">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gor 
Mahia has been having an excellent year and it was evident there were no
 rooms for complacency within the first fifteen minutes. Yanga looked 
lost and they could have fell behind in the 11th minute. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ivorian <b>Ephram Guikan</b>
 was well fed in the left wing, did well to get past his marker and 
unleashed a shot that the goalkeeper did well to punch, and it 
eventually was cleared. Two minutes later, Kamagi had to clear from the 
line a well headed ball by Charles Momanyi.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Those were early signs
 of good things to come for Gor Mahia fans, and in the 22nd minute, the 
home team deservedly went ahead. An inch perfect cross was brought in 
from the right and the defense failed to clear it, leaving <b>Jacques Tuyisenge</b> with the easiest of tasks; guiding the ball past Rostand Youthe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was 2-0 just before the break in favour; this time round <b>Humphrey Mieno</b> managing to pass the ball to <b>Guikan</b>, who was completely unmarked, and the striker made no mistake from about twelve yards.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After
 the break, Yanga looked jaded and out of ideas, with Gor Mahia creating
 chance after chance, but the goalkeeper at one point had to make a 
double save to deny Guikan and Bernard Ondiek.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The pressure from 
the home team paid off in the 63rd minute; Gor Mahia won a corner and an
 enticing cross was brought in, and in a bid to clear it, defender <b>Haji Mwinyi</b>, unfortunately, put the ball into his own net.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The final nail on Yanga's coffin was nailed in by <b>Guikan</b>
 with three minutes to go. Once again, Mieno managed to play a long ball
 to the Ivorian, and the big man used his pace well before shooting it 
past the goalkeeper to make it 4-0.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gor Mahia remain second in Group D with five points, two behind leaders <b>USM Alger</b>, who defeated <b>Rayon Sports</b> of Rwanda 2-1.</span><br />
<div class="widget-semantic-player" data-module-loaded="true" data-module="article/semantic-player">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Rayon was the first to score in the 38th minute courtesy of <b>Ismaila Diarra</b>, before <b>Farouk Chaffai</b> and Abdelraouf Benguit scored in the 45th and 90th minute to help the North African side claim maximum points.</span><br />

Sumner Redstone Trial Captivates Hollywood and Wall Street

</span></span>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="235" data-total-count="235">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
 media mogul Sumner M. Redstone was in the middle of a bitter divorce 
from his wife of 52 years in December 2000 when he was spotted with a 
decades-younger woman at the New York premiere of the Paramount movie 
“What Women Want.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="198" data-total-count="433">
His
 companion was Manuela Herzer, then a 36-year-old single mother of 
three. The pair met the previous year, and they dated for about two 
years. When he asked her to marry him in 2000, she declined.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="479" data-total-count="912">
Yet
 Ms. Herzer remained in the orbit of Mr. Redstone’s life as a friend, 
even as he cycled through another marriage and a series of girlfriends. 
He lavished gifts, real estate and money on her — more than $70 million 
in cash and other assets since 2009. He named her a beneficiary of his 
personal trust, listing her as “family.” Upon his death, he planned to 
leave her an additional $50 million and his $20 million Los Angeles 
mansion, according to various court filings.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="366" data-total-count="1278">
Now Ms. Herzer is challenging Mr. Redstone’s mental competence in a salacious lawsuit she filed  last November,
 not long after she was suddenly ejected from Mr. Redstone’s life and 
his home, where she had maintained a residence for about two years. She 
also was removed from his will and from a directive that would have 
given her supervision of his health care.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="274" data-total-count="1552">
The
 legal battle, filled with embarrassing claims about Mr. Redstone’s 
sexual desires, incontinence and demands to eat steak while on a feeding
 tube, is scheduled for trial starting Friday in Los Angeles County 
Superior Court, exactly three weeks before his 93rd birthday.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="334" data-total-count="1886">
This
 real-life soap opera has captivated both Hollywood and Wall Street. 
While the dispute concerns Mr. Redstone’s personal affairs, the outcome 
could have major implications for his $42 billion media empire, which 
includes two of the world’s largest entertainment companies, Viacom and CBS, both still controlled by Mr. Redstone.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="148" data-total-count="2034">
A ruling by Judge David J. Cowan that Mr. Redstone is not competent would set off a contentious battle for power across Mr. Redstone’s businesses.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="456" data-total-count="2490" id="story-continues-1">
At
 the center of it all is Ms. Herzer, now 51, who claims in the suit that
 Mr. Redstone lacked mental capacity and was under the undue influence 
of a nurse and his daughter, Shari Redstone, when he changed his health 
care plan. Is Ms. Herzer a loving friend, concerned about his 
well-being, whom he trusted to look out for his best interests even more
 than his own family? Or are her claims an invasion of privacy, riddled 
with lies and motivated by greed?</div>

Those
 questions will set the backdrop for the trial, as the court is expected
 to hear video testimony from Mr. Redstone, as well as from his 
daughter, doctors and nurses, Ms. Herzer and Philippe Dauman, the chief 
executive of Viacom.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="283" data-total-count="3006">
“The
 trial will expose the tragic inconvenient truth that Sumner Redstone 
needs the court’s protection from those who have lied to and exploited 
him in his debilitated condition,” Pierce O’Donnell, a lawyer for Ms. 
Herzer, said in a statement. “We look forward to trial.”</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="115" data-total-count="3121">
Robert N. Klieger, a lawyer for Mr. Redstone, said in a statement that the case was all about money for Ms. Herzer.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="193" data-total-count="3314">
“For
 Mr. Redstone, it is about his ability to decide who will make the most 
important health care decisions in his life,” Mr. Klieger added. “Some 
things are more important than money.”</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="239" data-total-count="3553">
The two sides came close to reaching a settlement last month but talks hit a snag.
 Since then, hurried trial preparations have been underway, with both 
sides boldly proclaiming that they are looking forward to arguing the 
dispute in court.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="130" data-total-count="3683">
The trial, which is scheduled to last five days, promises to provide vivid details and plot turns worthy of a Shakespearean drama.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="310" data-total-count="3993">
The first witness Friday is expected to be Mr. Redstone, in video testimony recorded Thursday.
 Mr. Redstone has not been seen publicly since his 92nd birthday last 
May and has suffered minor strokes that have left him with a severe 
speech impediment. In her suit, Ms. Herzer called him a “living ghost.’’</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="507" data-total-count="4500" id="story-continues-4">
One
 person who has interacted regularly with Mr. Redstone, and who asked 
not to be identified because the conversations with Mr. Redstone were 
private, said that while it was difficult to understand him initially, 
people who become familiar with his speech patterns could make out what 
he was saying, particularly when he responded to yes or no questions, 
spoke in shorter phrases or became angry. His speech therapists and 
nurses are said to assist in interpreting Mr. Redstone’s more complex 
statements.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="411" data-total-count="4911">
Next
 on the witness list is Dr. Stephen L. Read, a psychiatrist who 
conducted a medical exam of Mr. Redstone in late January and filed a 
37-page report; most details were withheld. Dr. Read is expected to 
testify that Mr. Redstone “did not fully understand and appreciate the 
consequences” of removing Ms. Herzer from the health care directive, 
according to court documents filed by her lawyers on Thursday.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="133" data-total-count="5044">
Lawyers
 for Mr. Redstone asserted in a separate court filing on Thursday that 
Dr. Read’s report was manipulated by Mr. O’Donnell.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="386" data-total-count="5430">
Then
 comes Keryn Redstone, Mr. Redstone’s granddaughter, who has formed an 
alliance with Ms. Herzer that essentially pits her against Shari 
Redstone, her aunt. In a recent declaration Keryn Redstone described her
 grandfather as a “prisoner in his own home.” She also claimed that she 
and her grandfather had been threatened by her aunt. Shari Redstone has 
called the claims false.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="374" data-total-count="5804">
New
 court documents filed Thursday by lawyers for Mr. Redstone assert that 
Ms. Herzer exploited her relationship with him for financial gain, 
saying that between last August and mid-October she charged more than 
$265,000 to his American Express card, and at one point called in a 
request for $40,000 in cash to be delivered to Mr. Redstone’s house and 
had him sign for it.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="136" data-total-count="5940">
In
 response, lawyers for Ms. Herzer said that Mr. Redstone had been 
generous to many people in his life, and Ms. Herzer was one of them.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="285" data-total-count="6225">
Ms.
 Herzer has said the suit is solely about Mr. Redstone’s well-being. She
 was introduced to him by one of his old friends in 1999, about five 
years after her bitter divorce from Eric Chamchoum, a Nigerian-born 
telecommunications executive who is part of a dynastic Lebanese family.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="220" data-total-count="6445">
Ms.
 Herzer was born in Buenos Aires, the only daughter in a family with 
four sons. The family moved to Miami when she was a child. She later 
studied in Paris, where she met Mr. Chamchoum. The couple moved to Los 
Angeles.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="298" data-total-count="6743" id="story-continues-5">
Their
 divorce filings, in the Los Angeles court system, are lurid. The case 
includes well over 1,500 pages, with accusations of physical abuse and 
tax evasion, and assertions by Ms. Herzer that her husband had 
threatened to abduct their two children and take them to Nigeria. 
Lawyers came and went.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="99" data-total-count="6842">
Mr. Chamchoum lived in Nigeria at the time. Ms. Herzer was unable to provide any evidence of abuse.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="301" data-total-count="7143">
Over
 the years, Ms. Herzer has listed her occupation in public records as 
homemaker, producer and self-employed. She owns property in California, 
New York and Paris and is also listed as the principal officer of the 
Herzer Foundation, dedicated to the prevention of childhood diseases and
 child abuse.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="343" data-total-count="7486">
Former
 employees of Paramount, the movie and television studio owned by 
Viacom, described her as a frequent presence on the lot and on the red 
carpet for movie premieres, charity parties and other social events over
 the years. Last year, she participated in an interview and photo shoot 
for a lengthy profile about Mr. Redstone in Vanity Fair.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="330" data-total-count="7816">
Though
 they stopped dating early in the 2000s, Mr. Redstone and Ms. Herzer 
remained close, and in early 2013 she moved into his mansion at his 
request, she said in court filings. From 2013 until August 2015, Ms. 
Herzer said, she helped Mr. Redstone make health care decisions along 
with his girlfriend at the time, Sydney Holland.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="231" data-total-count="8047">
In
 August, Ms. Holland was ejected from the home after a confession of 
infidelity. At that point, Ms. Herzer said, she took over the management
 of Mr. Redstone’s health care. She characterized his health as 
deteriorating rapidly.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="484" data-total-count="8531">
On
 the morning of Oct. 12, Ms. Herzer was removed from Mr. Redstone’s home
 in a scene she described as a tearful frenzy. She has said that she did
 not know why she had been ejected and was told by Mr. Redstone’s 
lawyers only that she had “lied” to Mr. Redstone. The papers filed by 
the Redstone side on Thursday said the lies involved Ms. Herzer 
obstructing Mr. Redstone’s relationship with another woman as well as 
her fabrication of a letter she said was from Ms. Holland.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="100" data-total-count="8631">
Lawyers for Ms. Herzer said that they will show during the trial that the allegations have no merit.</div>

MCC: This is what Tanzania must do to lift aid suspension

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
The government has been told to outline how it will address concerns 
about the disputed election re-run in Zanzibar if it wants to reopen a 
partnership with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) which has 
cancelled financial aid worth 1 trillion/- to the country, a senior 
official of the US agency said yesterday.
<br />
</span></span><br />
<div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
<div>
The MCC said Tanzanian authorities must clearly explain how the 
country plans to fix the Zanzibar problem in order to unlock the 
agency’s hefty aid package.</div>
<div>
“I think we’ve been very clear about what the situation was that 
led to the (aid) suspension,” said Beth Tritter, MCC’s vice-president 
for policy and evaluation, in an interview with  Devex, a media platform
 for the global development community.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
"If Tanzania’s government wants to re-enter into partnership with 
MCC, it must take the lead, with a plan to address those specific 
concerns," Tritter added.</div>
<div>
She said Tanzania has to guarantee political inclusivity if it 
wants MCC aid money suspended largely due to the March 20 polls going 
ahead despite a boycott by Zanzibar’s main opposition party, the Civic 
United Front (CUF).</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
“We don’t provide checklists at MCC. We leave it to governments to 
demonstrate how they’re going to show their commitments to these 
principles, and so we’ll have to look at what we get from the government
 of Tanzania,” Tritter explained.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
At its quarterly meeting on March 28, MCC’s board of directors 
decided to cease “all activities related to the development of a second 
compact” for assistance to Tanzania. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The board cited the elections in semi-autonomous Zanzibar that it 
described as “neither inclusive nor representative,” and concerns that 
Tanzania's Cybercrimes Act is being “used to limit freedom of expression
 and association,” as its main reasons for the decision.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
A previous vote on the MCC compact to Tanzania in December was 
deferred over what the board described as “governance concerns” over 
corruption allegations linked to the Tegeta escrow account scandal.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Some local politicians have criticised MCC for appearing to shift 
the goal posts after initially citing corruption as its main worry, but 
then shifting focus to the Zanzibar elections and the Cybercrimes law 
after the country appeared to have passed the graft test.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Tanzania is a major US development partner, with nearly $600 
million in assistance from the State Department and US Agency for 
International Development (USAID) planned for 2016. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There are a number of flagship US development initiatives currently
 operating in the country, including Power Africa – a part of President 
Barack Obama’s efforts to double access to energy in sub-Saharan Africa.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Tanzania has also been a longtime partner of MCC, signing what was 
at the time the largest compact in the corporation’s history in February
 2008 — nearly $700 million aimed at increasing access to electricity.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The new MCC package under consideration was also expected to 
support President John Magufuli’s plan to increase rural electrification
 as the country continues to grapple with the problem of ensuring 
consistent access to power as a key component of genuine economic 
growth.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
But MCC’s scorecard, which evaluates countries’ fitness for 
partnership according to indicators like “control of corruption,” has 
apparently been trending in the wrong direction for Tanzania, with the 
country’s eligibility for the second compact now being so seriously 
questioned. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Back in December, the US ambassador to Tanzania, Mark Childress, 
mentioned politically-motivated arrests carried out under the auspices 
of the Cybercrimes Act as a reason for the initial deferral by the MCC 
board.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
According to Sarah Rose, a senior policy analyst at the Center for 
Global Development and former senior development policy officer at MCC, 
the suspension of the partnership with Tanzania altogether is consistent
 with similar decisions that the corporation has made in the past with 
other leading partners like Honduras and Armenia.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The elections in Zanzibar could have provided MCC with a “pivotal 
event,” on which to base their latest suspension decision, Rose said. 
With slower deteriorating governance issues — like worsening corruption 
or challenges to civil liberties — it can be harder to judge exactly 
when a red line has been crossed, she added.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The MCC’s aid suspension to Tanzania was closely followed by 
another announcement that some members of a group comprising 14 other 
western donor entities had also decided to withhold hundreds of millions
 of US dollars in general budget support (GBS) for the country.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
According to the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Finance and
 Planning, Servacius Likwelile, only four members of the GBS group are 
still on board thus far - the European Union (EU), the World Bank, the 
African Development Bank (AfDB), and Denmark.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The other group members - Finland, Germany, Britain, Norway, 
Sweden, Ireland, Canada, and Japan - did not give reasons for their 
withdrawal, which effectively leaves President Magufuli's government 
having to deal with a substantial external aid shortfall just months 
before it unveils its maiden budget for fiscal year 2016/17.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Still, the Ministry of Finance and Planning said the aid 
withdrawals were not likely to affect implementation of the upcoming 
budget, which starts on July 1. This is despite Tanzania having been one
 of Africa's biggest per capita aid recipients for many years, depending
 heavily on donor support for development projects.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
President Magufuli on Tuesday this week responded to the MCC aid 
suspension by reiterating his call for Tanzanians to work harder and 
harder towards ending the country’s dependence on foreign aid money 
which usually comes with “conditions”.</div>
