Golden Rules for Making Money

Friday, August 11th, 2006

When a book is more than 100 years old the copyright expires. That is why P.T Barnum’s masterpiece from 1880 is freely available for reading online. The book is known under two names: “Art of Money Getting” and “Golden Rules for Making Money.”

I’ve browsed through some of the chapters and this is really good stuff. 126 years old and it is basically the same advice as Donald Trump gave me in his “How to get rich.”

A few good chapters are:

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT

LEARN SOMETHING USEFUL

READ THE NEWSPAPERS

BE POLITE AND KIND TO YOUR CUSTOMERS

DON’T BLAB

PRESERVE YOUR INTEGRITY

Have a look at it and enjoy the basic, common sense advice that clearly stood the test of time and inspired countless of later “how to get rich” books.

The essence of e-books: “How to get rich on eBay”

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

After buying and reading 2 “get rich on eBay” e-books I am a bit disappointed. In order to save you money and time, I have made an executive summary. 

Save $10-75 by getting the e-book insight for free. Here’s the information you will be getting from “rich on eBay e-books:”

Rich on eBay chapter 1: Mental prepareness crap + money

A few pages are dedicated to being prepared to get started and having money to invest.

Rich on eBay chapter 2: The links

You will get links to portals where Chinese manufacturers advertise their products. Two sites that are likely to be featured are http://www.alibaba.com/ and http://www.globalsources.com/ .

Rich on eBay chapter 3: How to interact with manufacturers

A few examples of how to write an e-mail asking for price of the products. Remember to finish off by “Yours Sincerely”

Rich on eBay chapter 4: How to sell your products

If you are honest you will get good feedback ratings on e-bay. Feedback ratings secures trust between seller and buyer.

What you will not get by reading a rich on eBay book:

No one will tell you which products to sell. All the information is about the little bits surrounding the sale. You got to come up with the idea of a good product by yourself.
