First off, by no means am I an attorney. This is NOT legal advice but only my opinion on how to find a good attorney and what I think needs to be done to have a good legal structure. Just wanted you to know that! Ok so back to business.

Finding a good attorney is crucial to a businesse’s success. Do not think for one minute that you can just go into a business without first having a legal structure in place. Having a legal structure is important in the following ways:

1.) It protects you from liability. Say you own a landscaping company and you accidently shoot a rock into someone’s window. If they are half way decent people they will let it slide given you fix the window. Now, say you hit someone over the head with a rock. This is a little different story since it cannot be fixed with a new pane of glass. Most people will sue you in a minute. If you are protected by a corporation or an LLC they will have to sue your company and not you. This could save your house, car, T.V., you name it. Some sort of legal protection is very important.

2.) You receive extra tax benefits based on the type of company you have. Depending on where you live these laws might be different so make sure you speak with an attorney and or accountant for this one.

Ok, now that I am off my soap box here we go. To find a good attorney do the following three things and you should have no problem.

1.) Join your local Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber here where I live has a meeting every two months that involves going out and meeting new people. We meet in a banquet area and almost without exception there is a lawyer offering his or her services. Because we are all Chamber members the people there usually offer discounts. So not only would you find a good lawyer there you would find one offering a discounted service.

2.) DO YOUR HOME WORK. Often times you think you have found a lawyer and you are on your way to success. Well, in case you didn’t know there are about 5,000 different types of lawyers. My advice would be to find a lawyer dealing with new business development. You want a legal professional that knows how to draw up partnership agreements, contracts, non-disclosure forms and so on. If you have a real estate attorney you might want to look elsewhere. Having someone that specializes in ONE practice is far better than a lawyer of all trades.

3.) Call local businesses that deal in the same business you do. Don’t be shy, call these places and ask them if they can kindly point you in the direction of a good lawyer. Tell them you are starting a new business and you would like to know where to start in regards to law. 99% of the time they will be glad to help you.

If all else fails there is some software you can buy that has pre-made documents on it regarding business ventures. Most of the software I have seen have contracts, partnership agreements, and many others you might need. Please remember not replace an actual lawyer with this type of software. A lawyer went to school for 8 years and is usually up to date with legal changes, software is not.

So, when looking for the right type of lawyer refer back to this site and remember the list I gave you. It will not only save you hours but possibly thousands. Good luck!

As I approach my 2nd month with this blog I have began to realize a few things that are needed in order to become a successful blogger and or affiliate salesperson.

First I find it necessary to put work into your website on a continual basis. What I mean by that is this. I feel that you have to at least post three articles a week to become successful. Most people start a blog and are gun hoe with it for about a month. After they realize that they do not have any money coming in they soon lose interest and start their search for another money making opportunity. That is fine, but I think you need to realize that you have to stick with it if you plan on anything happening with your site.

Another thing is relevance. If you have a site geared towards helping people with depression and post an article on photography, I believe your readers will lose trust in you. If you write on depression then your readers are going to expect updated articles geared towards depression. Always improve the information your customers want so they return happy and leave even more excited.

My final thought is this, you have to educate yourself. You cannot just post regularly with various thoughts, make sure its relevant, and expect to start making money. You have to study the art of traffic. When you get people to come to your site and you have good information, the money starts to flow. When people like what you have, your links get clicked and others see your potential and what to advertise on your site. My honest opinion is to build your site in the order I listed so that first you have regular posts, then relevant information and last your traffic.

 I know this blog is not the best as of now, but within the next couple of months I can promise you will see a drastic improvement. Anything worthwhile takes time to accomplish. If you put in the time and effort needed to accomplish something the rewards can be great.

The Rich Jerk

When and if you ever find yourself looking for a money making opportunity, be aware. Now, there are a few reasons for my warning as I am about to explain.

 1.) Whenever you want to start a new business or are looking for that quick buck, your emotions run rapid. If you take one lesson away from this post it is this, “When emotions are high stay aside, when emotions are low your clear to go.” This simply means you should not do any decision making while your emotions are in flare. Often people make emotional decision instead of educated decisions resulting in poor judgment. All-in-all, keep that in mind when making ANY kind of purchase. You don’t want to buy that car only to find out it wasn’t really what you wanted.

2.) Keep your eye open for scammers. There are several businesses, mostly online, that want to take your money without really providing anything in return. This is mostly done through eBook sales and what not but either way they are out there, in all types of scenarios. The main reason for this article is to give www.richjerk.com a good review. First off whenever you get to his site it may seem a  inappropriate is a little rude and obnoxious. Honestly I think it is very clever marketing on his part. Either way, enough is enough; we know what he is doing and understand he wants us to think he does not need our money. Personally I think it is just part of his marketing champagne or he would not be selling anything.

What does his program cost?

$9.99

Is the program worth it?

Yes, besides the fact it is only $9.99 to buy his eBook let’s face it, he knows what he is talking about. He has a lot of information on there mainly directed towards building an online business. He has marketing ideas, SEO ideas, content ideas and more. I have read a lot of bad reviews about his site and none of them are entirely true. They bash him and say he is the worst of the worst. He has very good ideas and for the price of the eBook you CANNOT go wrong.

Do you personally own the book?

Yes I do. I believe it is a great buy and worth every bit of $9.99. If you cannot make at least your $10 bucks back there is something wrong and I bet it results from laziness.

Any negative aspects of the book? Yes. The only real thing I noticed from his book was the fact that he is very cocky and ignorant. He also says a few immoral things like cloning peoples websites and such to make money. Besides this, there aren’t any other negatives I feel hurt the content of the book.

Read this special article before considering buying or joining a “Get Rich Quick” program.

January 27th 2008

From the desk of Jane Sanders (Senior Reviewer)

Wouldn’t it be nice to make a bundle of money quickly, with minimal effort, working at home in your pajamas? Of course it would. I for one would love to have money flowing into my bank account, working only a few hours a week from home, so I’d have more time to spend with my kids and my husband, without any boss looking over my shoulder.

Whether it’s real estate investing, selling by classified ads, stock market investing, internet affiliate marketing, or something else, we’ve all seen the fantastic claims people make about making tons of money, AND how they can show you how to do the same thing. I can tell you right now that 99% of these people are total frauds. You may have even fallen prey to one of these scam artists, selling you their latest “Get Rich Quick” program. Me too. I’ve bought so many of these programs that I can’t even recall how many. I don’t know why, but I tend to find the “good” in people, and I was “sold” by the marketing schemes time and time again, even after being scammed by another. Finally, after so many disappointments, I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this fascination we all have with get rich quick programs, and find out if there really were any LEGITIMATE programs for making money.

I literally contacted the administrator of every get rich quick website I could find. Posing as an investor, I managed to convince the owners that I was seriously interested in purchasing their entire website and business. That way, once the dollar signs flashed in their heads, they would give me free access to their member’s areas to review what I would be ”buying”. Well I was disgusted with 99% of what I found. Many of the owners actually boasted about how many people bought their useless programs. I repeatedly found:

• Outdated information
• Non-working links
• Links leading to other sites that asked for more money
• No help section
• No real e-mail support

I quickly realized that these so-called Get Rich Quick programs were totally useless. And the owners knew it, yet they were laughing all the way to the bank! Needless to say, I didn’t respond when they asked me if I was still interested in buying their websites. Surprisingly, while sifting through all of the scam artists’ websites, I was able to locate a couple individuals that actually ran legitimate programs.

The owners were everyday peoples like you and I that found a way to make extra money working from home on their computers. Their membership areas were impressive, with a good amount of quality information on how to make $100-$200 per day on your computer doing very little work. I even chatted with a few of their customers on several online forums, and they verified that they were making extra money through the sites. It was like I found a few diamonds in the rough. But don’t take my word for it, you can visit the 2 sites for yourself. See what you think.

They do charge a minimal fee for access to their program, which is to be expected for any legitimate company that actually has people on staff who are dedicated to helping you get started. What a friendly group of people! Anyway, if you do decide you are interested in either of the two programs below, I advice you join quickly, as the owners have informed me that are getting so many new members by word of mouth referrals, that they are closing off membership completely in the next 2 or 3 days. (By the way, you didn’t hear this from us!) They don’t have a large enough staff to accommodate many more people, and they are dedicated to providing excellent service to each person.

Well, my search for legitimate Get Rich Quick programs has come to an end. I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed with most of what I found, and I strongly advise that you do not take chances joining any programs other than the ones listed below! Whatever you do, I wish you a healthy, prosperous year for you and yours.

All the best.

Yes, I know you are shocked to hear that but please let me explain. Look back on the last five months and tell me how much you actually accomplished. You might have bought that new Franklin Covey binder or state of the art planning system, but how much PRODUCTIVE work did you do?

The reason I say this is because I too was once a time management addict. I had my planners by my side and wrote down everything I wanted to do or should have done and went from there. In all actuality I accomplished nothing. Beside organizing outlook contacts and replacing old light bulbs I accomplished close to little productive, wealth accumulating work.

What is my solution you ask? Well it is actually very, very simple and if you do this I will guarantee an increase in productivity of 200% within the first day!

Fist you need to get a sticky note and write the following question on it. “Am I inventing things to do?” Then simply place this in an area where you are most found throughout the day. Look at this at least three times a day and Walla; you’re on your way to productivity.

I know this sounds awfully simple but it is in simplicity that we find the answers.  However there is one more step. At the end of every day take a piece of notebook paper and write TWO productive tasks that you are going to complete the next day. Make sure they are wealth accumulating tasks and not BUSY work.

The next morning take the piece of paper out and complete each task from start to finish without interruption. Also try and set a time limit for these tasks like, have both done by 11:00am. This will force you to focus and keep your attention on what needs to be done.

There you have it. I learned this information from Timothy Ferris and his book, The Four Hour Work Week. I recommend you read it and if you have any comments or questions please ask. Thank you and good luck on your productivity.
