Seven Great Money Ideas to Ponder Over

In this second (one) third of the year, we will concern ourselves with blogging and affiliate income. But first, let us speak on a few general matters concerning money. I have heard many people say money isn't everything. One of the best derivatives of that idea I have ever heard is ‘it is much better to cry in a Mercedes Benz than on a bicycle’. Well, there are indeed different strokes for different folk. 

As you plan the next segment of the year, here are great money ideas adopted from the net. They are great money ideas to ponder over as you work to build your financial future in the coming months. 

1.    Spend less than you earn.

At all times, make it your purpose to spend less money than you make.

2.    Avoid debt like the plague.

The status symbol in the new economy isn't fancy cars and big houses. It's being able to say you are DEBT FREE.

In fact, most have a concept that the most lucrative work you can do on these sites is writing. A few also add such tasks as photography, web design, coding, and in some cases translation and typing jobs.

To Get Better Income Online Turn to Affiliate Marketing

Marketers and/or Resellers of any product or service operate in the highest paid career worldwide. Marketers or better said, people in sales and marketing as an industry, come by many names: salespeople, brokers, commissioned agents, managers (mostly in the entertainment world), and the less flowery ones such as pimps. Online they are called affiliates or affiliate marketers.

The principle is this; if you can find someone who has something to sell and you make sales happen and earn a commission (not a salary) on those sales, you can turn yourself into a multi billionaire in your lifetime. Why is that? Because anytime your work creates wealth on earth, you must, by law enjoy a significant part of that wealth.

Mention them by name ‘Michael Joseph’, ‘Titus Naikuni’, 'Bob Collymore', etc, the bottom line of their work is they help those multi-nationals make some serious change on their bottom line. Job description clarified and why they are valued ‘employees’ also clarified!

Screen Shots Of Making Money Online IMO

A guest to this blog coming from Smart Phone Basement made a comment that made me smile with knowing. You see, in the last few months, I have been working dedicatedly to bring internet income into perspective here at home.

The gentleman said; ‘Shift from talk and give proves [sic] (I think that meant proof) like screenshot. So many hypocrites behind laptops who are learning how to make cash online yet they pretend to teach others.’
 
Why was this gentleman’s statement (inclusive of the plea and adding a link to a site that clearly shows he is mad about smartphones) such a blessing for me? Well, first, because I do not work from a laptop, tongue in cheek, but more seriously, because he brought to the fore one of the fastest possible ways Kenyans get scammed. They look for ‘newsy’ stories, not the work it takes to get there.

The Fear of Fraud and The Kenyan Psyche
The fear of fraud is paralyzing many from enjoying the genuine benefits provided by online marketing tools. When you put ‘money’ and follow it closely with ‘internet’ the next closest word on a Kenyan mind is fraud/scam/deceit. Why?

Use Stragic Online Marketing to Boost Your Online Income

Turn your online presence into a cash minting machine through Strategic Online Marketing
Here is one for you... is your web presence generating you the kind of income you hoped it would?

If not, you probably have one of three things:
a.    A non-performing email marketing campaign, or…
b.    No email marketing campaign or…
c.    No Marketing Plan in place

You see, as people  get more tech savvy, they are more likely to open more than one web page at a time. They open several pages and keep flicking to each of them.

They may be waiting for one page to load, waiting for another to run the video on yet another tab, have their favorite newspaper open in another tab, have a chat going on a social media site on another, have their mail open on another, be reading a blog on yet another, and open links from the blog on several other tabs.

Why Graduate and Wait Twenty Four Years to Find Jobs in Kenya?

Speaking about making money online and jobs in Kenya, two common self-help sayings seem contradictory if you think about them. The first says, if you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, then that is a clear show of madness.

The second says persistence is the key to success. Many have given up when they are a heartbeat away from the success they sought. So keep working at it until you succeed, the teachers tell us. 

This means you may either be considered mad for keeping on your track, or you may actually succeed. When do you know when to quit and when to keep going? The answer, simple as it may sound is, when all the signs keep showing you the same thing — this path you are taking is not going anywhere - drop it. If there are some bumps of good, but just not at the level you want them to be, keep going.

At a recent talk, I shared with the attendants that the government of Kenya has its current PUBLIC statistics as Kenya has 12 million jobless. Another research done by a department in the same government reports that our best job creation year was 2011 where all together, the private, public, and SME sectors created 503,500 jobs. On average, we create a little under 500,000 jobs annually as a nation. Meanwhile, we also generate just about the same number of graduates annually, 500,000.

Myths and Truths of Making Money Online with MFB in Kenya

The short version is My Fortunes Builder (MFB) is a legit way to make money online in Kenya. Purpose to attend the seminar and hear the company’s offer for yourself before you judge. If its not for you, that is okay! But why miss an opportunity simply because you heard it on the grape-vine that ‘its not good?’ Register for more details here.

The long version is that in March this year, I stumbled onto a little classified advert for make money online in Kenya in one of the local dailies. By the way, it was a real stumbling because the newspaper was not even in my hands; a friend drew my attention to it. In a sort of curiosity chase, I decided to follow the lead. That little action and an open mind led me to the most transformational meeting I have ever triggered with a stranger.

New Kenya Money Online for Income and Online Business Building

The Kenya Money Online (KMO) website celebrates its fifth month since registration in April this year. In the last month as the nation went into elections, and we the people of Kenya resorted to bashing each other with words to display to all the world how ignorant we are of our one-ness regardless of the different languages we originally speak, KMO has turned from caterpillar to butterfly.

What is My Fortunes Builder (MFB) and How can You Benefit?

Nothing great ever starts with a press release. If you interact with people in media, they will tell you that a launch is often simply a public relations activity. The actual thing promoted in the launch could have been around for six months or longer. A launch basically alerts the media and expands clientele. It is a marketing gimmick. 

That too is the story of My Fortunes Builder (MFB). It is up and running and the launch may not even happen soon. Does that mean you cannot benefit? What is MFB?

MFB is a reseller of internet marketing tools such as email software, website, hosting, and many others. What is unique about MFB as compared to the other affiliate programs run off individual tool re-sellers such as Aweber and GetResponse for autoresponders, and GoDaddy for web hosting among others, is that MFB retails their products through network marketing.

Although there are many ignoramus in Kenya who trash the name of network marketing companies, the truth is that ALL big businesses incorporate an element of networks and reward people at multiple levels. The same is true of MFB. With less than a month, MFB is already causing ripples. People who have little or no knowledge of how to make money online are already earning an attractive income. That is how simplified the MFB process is.

Who are the Primary Beneficiaries
As most things new, there is a lot of excitement in the corridors of MFB. Yet, interacting with many of the people there, I can tell you this is a perfect place for the online worker.
They have the best priced tools of trade and you can also make money on the side as their reseller. If you have ever wanted to monetize your blog and make money for the long term without your daily active involvement, then this is the place to be.

If you ever have a pounding heart, wondering how the next bills will be paid because freelance gigs are not happening, or a client rejected your work, or you keep getting disapprovals from online bid sites, then this is the company to partner with.

If you ever woke up tired, frustrated, and feeling like giving it all up, but had to wake up and work anyway just to earn a living, then this is the company to work with.

You set up your process and with regular maintenance of your system, you can visit bid sites, and freelance sites at your pace. You can focus your energies in making your blog make you an income, and you can channel your time to the things that you care about. 

What is My Fortunes Builder? 
First — it retails through MLM. If you are not sure what that means, read article here
The MFB Co-Founder is also the co-founder of Traffic Wave, a business with roots in the US and has been in that market for over 13 years. Traffic Wave is one of the largest autoresponder companies on the planet. My Fortunes Builder re-seller program is set up as an easy to put up automated internet marketing system that earns the diligent re-seller a recurring monthly income. It offers a turn-key internet marketing system to Kenyans; the same system that has worked for thousands in the US.

I encourage you to read more and there are several educative articles listed at the end of this post. You see, I have over five years working online with more affiliate training programs in my hard-disk than most people will ever read about in a lifetime. I know what works in this market and what doesn’t. I can tell you, this one is not only working, but it will work even more in the coming days. 

How does My Fortunes Builder or MFB work?
I like to say it is the easiest money you can ever make online; you simply send email to people who want to read them and make money. It sounds too easy for people who are always looking for the hard way to do things. So here is the slightly longer version.

First, set up your income generating system using the tools provided by MFB. Second, send an email to me and I will show you exactly how I work with MFB to create residual income without ever leaving the work I do on the things I love and enjoy. Third, go to your social media sites and promote MFB to your friends and anyone else doing internet marketing.

It is simple, uncomplicated, and paying. Now, why would you pass up a chance like that? Well, I have made it super short, but I am sure you would like to know more, so go to the page at MyFortunesBuilder Kenya Money and learn more.

Jobs Kenya – What Qualifications do I need To Pursue a Marketing Career

To begin with, you need to understand that a Marketing Career is not in and of itself an independent profession. Usually, if you are going to go for a marketing career, at least in Kenya and I think this is true in most of the world, it is an offshoot of another training program.

That means you are unlikely to get a degree in Marketing. The most comprehensive academic training you will get for a Marketing Career will be in a Business training program. This may be a Business Administration Degree or Diploma. Even the most enlightened training institutions will speak of a Business Administration Degree with Marketing. You can also enter into Marketing from most professional programs by doing certificate courses in Marketing.

You must differentiate between a Marketing Career and a Sales Career. In fact, there are people who would lynch me for even daring to put sales and career in the same sentence. Marketing is a far higher professional course as it entails the entire process of developing a product,

Jobs in Kenya; dealing with sexual harassment at work

Another common, or maybe I should say commonly talked about form of harassment, is sexual harassment at work that is targeted at junior officers by senior officers.

When we speak of sexual harassment the loose definition is behavior at work that is intended to cause either unusually high sexual attention or create uncomfortable circumstances loaded with sexual intent.

You will find that the discussion and parameters of sexual harassment in the work place are so fluid that it is hard to tell where normal human instinct and reaction to the opposite gender ends and where sexual harassment begins.
In this post, I will only speak of sexual harassment from men in senior positions that they direct at ladies in a lower positions. Then we will keep adding more variations as the week moves on.

In my years in Human Resource Management, sexual harassment by senior male officers directed at junior female officers are the most disgusting yet the most difficult cases to handle.

If you find yourself in the presence of a psychotic male boss who doesn't know where his zipper ends and his head starts, realize that you are in the presence of a male predator; an animal in human clothes. They are a dangerous species giving most men a very bad name.

What do you need to know about such situations and how should you respond?
• Realize that a boss who directs deliberate suggestions for sex with you is committing a crime. There are appropriate places to do and say all things; the office is NOT for soliciting sexual favors and he is in gross abuse of office.
• Find a female senior management officer you can speak to FAST. Speak to her as you would to a counselor, stating what happened and what you think the situation was about without making any accusations.
• Keep clear off the fellow's radar as much as you can. If asked to stay late at work, ask a friend to hang out in the office with you. If the boss inquires why the other person is there, tell him you live in a dangerous area and you MUST go home together. Do not bow to his offers to take you home – UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH HIS INTENTIONS.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Ladies, you will fast realize that in these situations you will be accused of leading the man on. It is rare, except you have a mature woman in the company that women themselves will not see you as a victim; they will want to make you the villain. To help your case, guard your dressing.

How to behave when you cannot meet a deadline

Okay! So you had a deadline, then there was a rock-your-world holiday bang in the middle of the week, and now you are sure that unless there is an earthquake, you cannot complete your assignment on time. What do you do?

In my earlier days on the job, I would pray for a miracle; something cool like the boss travels abroad and leaves us all singing hooray! The overall strategy was, keep it quiet, and hope the boss will not remember you have a job to complete. Been there?

Bad strategy!

It works against you in two ways. First you are marked as an unreliable officer – so the next time the sacking broom comes along, you are way near the top on that list.

Second, it is irritating to the boss, which means you are irritating the boss, which means your things are not sitting well.

What is the best plan though?

1. Realize the giver of the job KNOWS you have a job to complete.
2. Understand that the time frame was deliberate because they too have goals to achieve and was not just to make your life hard.
3. Do not dither until the last minute waiting to be asked for progress.
4. TAKE YOURSELF to the boss, well in advance and report that you are running late.
5. Explain why you are running late. (Have a damn good reason. Holiday will not wash)
6. Give yourself a new deadline and explain it to the boss.
7. if there are any challenges, suggest solutions.
8. Actually – just finish the job on time. Running late is too painful!

Identifying Your Opportunities

So what is this thing about focusing on what we desire to get what we want?
It is the law of life. It is how you cooperate with the Creator – and everyone has access to their Creator.
It’s funny to even try and logically imagine that a responsible all-knowing and intelligent God would have you living a life where you need another creature equal to yourself in power and knowledge serve as your connect.
The system to connect to your creator is there within you all the time. It is not something you learn in an institution or from books – it is within you.

Life takes on the form of the predominant thought pattern of the individual.
For the purpose of this post, we will restrain ourselves to the life results of an adult.
What an individual has in their innermost regular thought pattern, that is what will evidence itself in their lives.
Now that truth poses a big challenge to most people because we often prefer to think that there is a huge mean God somewhere out there bringing on our horrible experiences.

Jobs in Kenya are all over the place to the one with a working personal plan

There’s a hilarious piece that does the rounds on Facebook titled, ‘You know you have an African Mother when…’
It is a stark reminder that most of us grew up with very similar set of rules. The does and don’ts did not vary too much. These then went on to form our corporate belief systems years later.
By that article, and certainly by experience, one of the typical answers if we questioned why we should do something mum said should be done was, ‘because I said so’. This invocation of the infallibility of the authority of ‘mum’ was stated with such finality, that even the young mind would not find any further creative genius to pursue an alternative option. Mum said you do it, she is the authority – enough said. With that, the institution of ‘mum’ was elevated to infallibility.

You are created with all the power to help you find jobs in Kenya

I was watching a road show footage aired on one of the local television stations over the weekend. For the presenters, the MC and the performers it was all a celebration. But what caught my attention most were the faces of the people surrounding the presenters. These people were supposed to be entertained. But from their faces, they were an unhappy lot. One look at their faces and you were clear the only people celebrating were the fellows on the stage.
It pulled my heart strings because the sad despairing face is so common amongst Kenyans – especially in major urban centres. I friend visiting from the UK once gave me what I thought was a very apt description. She called it silent desperation. You see it all the time; that hollow look in peoples eyes because they seem to have lost hope.
The question I asked myself is, hope in what? What have they lost hope in? The government?
