how to make money online

General November 7th, 2009

I’ve just published an article called How I make Money Online, at Hubpages http://hubpages.com/hub/How-I-Earn-Money-Online, to share with everyone how i earn my living as a writer. The article mainly talks about how to join Hubpages and what the benefits are of doing so. I found Hubpages a really easy way to get into earning money on line because of several reasons:

It’s free to join and to start up your own Hubpages online business.

I get to choose what I write about, so I can write stuff that interests me.

All the techy stuff is done for you, so you don’t have a bewildering learning curve that results in you making a lot of mistakes right off.

Ok, Hubpages takes a share of the revenue, they get 60% and you get 40%, but I think that’s fair for all the help and support you get.

Support – all the other Hubbers as we’re called are really helpful in sharing information.

I also wrote in this article about how to get jobs as a freelance copywriter online. I work as a freelancer through EU Freelance, a site where buyers post jobs, and you get to bid for those jobs. So far It’s worked really well for me, but you have to be careful. Never give away a free sample of your work to anyone, as people asking for freebies are ususally scammers. Thoroughly check how much you will get for each article – $2 for 100 words is OK, for 1000 words is rubbish. Once you win the bid, keep in touch with the buyer, at least daily, and ask lots of questions so that you’re clear what’s required. Make sure you meet the deadlines required.

Then just enjoy writing and being paid for your words!  Here are some other articles I’ve written http://hubpages.com/hub/Starting-a-small-business-The-Sory-of-The-Chocolate-Bar, about how to set up a small business, giving lots of tips about doing it, and about some of the pitfalls if you’re not careful.  I’m also a published author, having written two children’s books http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Publish-Your-Book.

Unsecured Debt Consolidation Loans – How To Understand Them

General November 7th, 2009

An unsecured debt consolidation loan is when individuals consolidate their debts into one monthly payment without collateral being required i.e. one’s home. This means that even if one fails to make the repayments then the individual would not lose their property or valuables. Getting an unsecured debt consolidation loan would be purely based on one’s job status and earnings.

When looking to obtain an unsecured consolidation loan it is better to shop around for the best deals. Once a reputable company has been found, the lender will go through a plan with the consumer, once everything has been agreed by both parties, the loan will be setup and paid in monthly instalments. The amount one is able to borrow would be determined by their financial status.

It would appear to be very common these days for people to be living with debts.  When debt exceeds one’s budget it can seem like a never ending battle to find a solution or way out. It is important to face up to the debts that are spiralling out of control by speaking to creditors and explaining the situation. 

An unsecured loan may seem daunting to some as it comes with a higher interest rate but if one was to work it out against the interest they are paying on all their monthly debts it is easy to see that the interest on the unsecured loan would be a lot less, thus saving money for the individual.  Opting for a consolidation loan is far better than bankruptcy.

Although it can be hard finding a company that will lend money to individuals with a poor credit rating it is not completely impossible. Looking into companies can help in one’s search, this can be hard work but there will be companies that are willing to help and offer bad credit loans. This can even help to restore one’s credit rating. Consolidating one’s debts can also ease the pressure felt by many struggling to pay their bills as monthly payments are reduced significantly, however they are not for everyone and one must make sure that payments can be met before going ahead with a loan.

In conclusion

It would be the responsibility of the borrower to supply the lender with all of the information regarding the creditors and debts that are owed. Once the information has been supplied it is then the lenders responsibility to deal with the creditors.  All that has to be done from this point onwards is to make sure that all monthly payments are met during the period of the agreement.
