Think sex to get rich?

Apr 05 2008

Posted by Jay as Business and Money

To be rich, a guy has got to gamble. And to have the urge to gamble, the guy has got to have sex in his mind! This was the finding of a recent brain-scan study by US scientists who sought to understand what’s going on in the minds of the world’s billionaires when they make risky financial gambles. In the study, young men who were shown erotic pictures were found to develop a stronger desire to make large financial gamble than if they were shown a picture of something scary, such a snake, or something neutral, such as a stapler. The ...

Salary History : Should I bother revealing?

Mar 28 2008

Posted by Jim as Business and Money

There is always a time to reveal "stuff" that you're afraid to divulge but certainly must.  I myself find it a little odd to reveal my true salary to prospects during a job hunt.  I think it's a little healthy to keep something to yourself. But at some point during your job search, you will likely be asked about your salary history -- how much you're making at your current job, and maybe even how much you made before that.  It is a little right for future employers to find out how much the industry thinks about ...

Posted by Jim as Business Features, Business and Money

  "Some executives would love to be left alone." I read this line from an article about how top corporations are protecting their top level executives.  Forbes online's section on Tech->Security lists down how these companies spend to keep their hotshots secure.  Check these figures out: US$1.8 million - the amount Oracle spends to protect its Chief Executive Larry Ellison last year. US$532,755 - the amount Google spent last year on protecting its Chief Executive Eric Schmidt. US$33,196 - the amount Google spent last year for Company Founder Larry Page's transportation, logistics and personal security. US$1 million - the amount Ford spent ...

Working from Home: Your Home Office Setup

Mar 07 2008

Posted by J. Angelo as Business Features, Business and Money, Virtual Office

If you're like me, you would be quite averse to the usual corporate setup. I used to work the corporate grind, getting up early in the morning to drive or take a cab, bus or train to the office miles away, work for eight or more hours, and then go home at night feeling tired and weary. Work is great and the people are okay, too, except for my disdain with office politics. But it's the travel time that usually leaves me exhausted each day. Imaging wasting your time in hours of travel just to get from point A to point ...

Making money online would be easy for a person, if he or she were resourceful enough to seek out the ways you can go about it. I had actually talked about it before, in this ol' article. But today, I will give an “academic”-style take on the topic of online moneymaking. In the online economy, there are economic tiers, as there are in the “real world.” Bear with my categorical mind, as I talk about the ways and means this is done.

Jan 09 2008

Posted by Lorie Therese as Business and Money, Business Concepts

Every business has to have corporate values and a vision which would serve as its backbone. A business cannot run on a foundation that is built on sand, so to speak. It has to have policies that are rooted in ethical principles and manifest in policies that are favorable to both your workers and to the management and the business owners. So what does it take to make a business run smoothly?

Freebies: Ways to Make More Money! :p

Dec 25 2007

Posted by Lorie Therese as Business and Money

I am actually being lazy right now even though I have a paper to finish, I decided to write first on here, because I miss writing for Froodee, and it’s tiring writing nonpersonal stuff. :p I am a big fan of Internet Marketing lately, simply because my other job is for an Internet Marketing guy. I’m always trying to find ways and means to earn more money, and I have actually compiled a PDF file of my affiliate links. If you’re interested in earning more money and you’re willing to help me and thus create a win-win situation for us both (Don’t be selfish! It’s Christmas! :p), then leave a comment on this post. :) Because it’s Christmas and I’m soo not selfish (haha can’t you tell I’m in a happy mood and that was a joke? :p), I decided to give you a couple of moneymaking options that are so worth considering.

Making Money (For Christmas presents and more)

Dec 10 2007

Posted by Lorie Therese as Business and Money

I’m interrupting this spate of Christmasy cheer for some tips on how to make that money you need to get your friends and family the gifts everyone longs to give and receive. The online moneymaking world is filled with all the possibilities man can think of, and it’s purely overwhelming. I discovered that I can get paid for videos I can make and put up on Revver.com, I realized that AdSense DOES work, and I also realized that I can sell stuff online, especially on eBay. There are also other ways and means that you can earn money. Aside from those I mentioned, you can also make money in a fun-er way, as you chat with other people and exchange ideas with them

Copying Porn Sites’ Ad Strategy

Nov 05 2007

Posted by Lorie Therese as Business and Money, Business Concepts

If there's anything I learned in my a few weeks in excess of a year of working online, it's that the Internet is very viral for advertising. You only need to look to the high school kid's favorite website: MySpace or Friendster, and you have your Ad Agency in a can.
