I recently went to Bora Bora for vacation and fell in love with the place. It's definately one of the most beautiful places I've traveled to. I got back home from my trip and decided I wanted to build a website about it. The only thing is, I needed pictures for my site and the ones I took while there weren't very great. So I started looking on the internet for places where I could purchase or download copyright free images. I came across a couple sites where people were selling their photos. That's when I realized how much money some of these people make just by taking simple pictures of their vacations! I'm definately bringing my camera with me next time I go somewhere scenic. Pretty much every type of picture you can think of is on these sites. Just simple pictures of cities are in demand on these sites. I saw one picture of a flower that was downloaded by 2,983 people in 1 year! The average person on these sites makes anywhere from about $1.00 to $4.00 for each download. So this can really add up if you take 20 or so pictures a month and just leave them posted on these sites. You don't even need a camera if you are good at designing or drawing. I came across a design somebody made of a globe that fetched over 5,000 downloads in 2 years time. So this person probably spent 1 day designing this image, and in 2 years time, that 1 day of work had made them between $5,000 to $20,000. This is assuming they only posted that image on one site. There's alot more than just one out there so they probably made alot more than that. This may not seem like alot but imagine if they did this everyday for 2 months. Most people have to work an entire year, 5 days a week to make that kind of money. So if you have a digital camera, or you are a creative person with drawing or designing skills, I recommend you check out some of these sites and bring your camera with you next time you think you're going to see something interesting.

Myspace Money
FBPro
This is a great way to make money online. If you aren't familiar with Myspace, you must be living under a rock. Well I'll explain, just in case you have never heard of it. Myspace, in a nutshell, is a social networking site that allows people to have their own profiles, where they can upload pictures, videos, and send comments to friends, amongst many other things. One of the most valuable things to people today trying to market their products, is website traffic and advertisements. Millions of people use Myspace every single day. A valuable feature on Myspace to marketers is the "bulletins" feature. This is where the money comes in. Let's say you have 2000 friends on Myspace. 2000 people that you know that you or saw online that you have added to your profile. If you wanted to say something to all 2000 of those friends, you could post a bulletin. When they log in to their Myspace accounts, whatever you posted as a bulletin is visible on their main screen. So let's say you were a company and selling a product. Those 2000 friends you have on your profile could potentially turn into 2000 customers if you were to post a bulletin of a product you are trying to promote, or a video with an advertisement in it. It's against Myspace rules to sell accounts, but not illegal, and what they don't know won't hurt them. Are you starting to see where I'm going with this? Tila Tequila is the product of Myspace. She was not famous until she had over a million friends on Myspace. This how she became a Celebrity and started signing deals with MTV and the TV Networks. It's obvious that a couple guys who put together a program to automatically add friends, used her sexy picture to further entice young males and girls who may idolize her to add her to their profiles as a friend. There may be other programs out there, but the most popular one for automatically adding friends is FBPro. It's about $30 for one Myspace account and $60 for multiple accounts. I recommend trying the free trial out first. The trial only allows you to add 50 friends per day, but it's a good way to see how it works before you spend any money on anything. You can download the free trial on their website here: FBPro Free Trial. Once you have enough friends added, you can sell the accounts on sites such as eBay, Craigslist, iOffer, or just make your own website to sell them on. If you click HERE, you can see completed listings from ebay showing how many people successfully sold myspace accounts with large friend lists this week. Just don't tell anyone what the address of the account is, until after they pay for it, because some people are very hateful and will report you to Myspace and get the account deleted just because they can. I've also heard that MySpace cancels some accounts if they see unusually high numbers of freinds being added every day, so you may not want to do too much in one day (Try to keep it under 2000). Once somebody pays, go into the account settings and change the email to their email address and give them the password to the account. It's that easy. You can make some serious money doing this, but my advice is to market niches. What I mean by this is find people yourself that may be struggling to get more traffic to their sites. Music Artists are perfect for this. For example, with the FBPro program, you can choose which state or city you want to find friends in. So let's say you add only friends in New York. 3000 friends from New York would be very valuable to a New York musician who is struggling to make a name for themself. I think you get what I'm saying.....

How to Convert Online Videos into Income
Did you know you can make income by creating videos and uploading them to the internet? It's pretty easy to do and here's a great way to start a business that can lead in any direction you want to take it.......
First make some videos, doesn't matter what they are about. The more popular you think the subject of the videos is, or more interesting it is, the better, but any videos will work for this. You can make the videos with a camcorder at home or use a cheap webcam. Talk about anything you like on the webcam or videotape funny or exciting stuff. Basically, anything you think people will want to watch. Once you make a video, you can edit it using free programs such as Windows Movie Maker. While you are editing, you can insert text into the video which will advertise your website. You can create a website through any cheap host such as HostGator and use their Site Builder program to create your site. Then once your sign up for a website, it doesn't matter what you put on it. You can even just leave the entire site down and just put "This site is currently experiencing difficulties." Now take those videos which include a banner on the screen or text that advertise your site, and upload them to all the popular video sites such as Youtube, Myspace, Dailymotion, Metacafe, blip.tv etc...
Now people will see your videos on there, and see the ads telling them to go to that site. Now your site has instant traffic and the more videos you upload, the more traffic it will get. So eventually, when you have enough traffic, you can actually sell that traffic to other people. That's right, people actually sell their website traffic to other people who don't know how to get it. Take a look here on this Ebay page and you will see how many people are making money by selling traffic. You can sell it other places as well where you will have less competition such as Craigslist, iOffer, Ecrater, OnlineAuction etc... You can use Google Analytics to monitor your site and see how much traffic you are getting day to day. Once you have enough traffic built up, you can transfer it to other peoples websites by going to wherever you purchased the domain for your site and "forwarding it" to someone else's domain. Just go into the settings for your domain and choose to "forward it" and enter the domain name you would like to forward to. After you send them their traffic, forward it back to your domain name and wait until you have another customer and then forward it again.
