Make Money Online: Diversify Your Income Streams
As this blog states, online earnings take a tremendous amount of work and does not immediately pay off. Sooner or later a widespread presence on the web in the form of your own website or two, several of your own blogs and a well known presence on forums, social sites, etc will begin to pay off.
Scrub paid coaching and paid traffic generation because that's wasted money you could benefit from elsewhere. With the linking techniques you can learn over time, paid links exchanges are quickly becoming outdated too, and costs you money better spent elsewhere.
For me, SEO and Social Networking are the hardest to get right partially because of the ever changing Google and other search engine's way of conducting searches and because my niche and interests really doesn't fit into many Social Sites' theme etc.
Keyword strategies, as explained by so called SEO experts and with the keywords provided by most keyword tools, are somewhat largely a joke for the just beginning site. Long tail keywords, strategically placed within your money generation pages, will do much more than the 1 or 2 keywords provided by the so called SEO experts and many keyword tools, when first beginning your site and beyond.
Informative blogs like this one, Make Money Online....., will lead you in the right direction, but be very careful and don't overdo it, and don't do it real rapidly where Social Networking is concerned. Find and contribute to a forum like one of About.com's forums where you have expertise or interests. These posts will provide a link to your site(s) for every post if set up correctly. Three to five links per day of contributions add up quickly and carry a lot of weight with Google.

www.huntfishcampworld.com
For various reasons including the current economic recession, www.huntfishcampworld.com has been delayed from it's real publishing to the web. If you enter the URL into your browser in search of this site, what you get is only a placebo to what the site will ultimately be. The products you will see are not really the products we have to offer.
We are working hard to finish this site and it should be completed (unless unforeseen circumstances intervene) within a few weeks. Depending on the speed our site's final preparation receives by the company who will do the final things to our site, this site should be published well in advance of the spring camping/fishing/outdoor season.

Depending on the speed our site's final preparation receives by the company who will do the final things to our site, this site should be published well in advance of the spring camping/fishing/outdoor season.
We have discontinued www.hpgiftnhome.com
Due to our canceling our relationship with the supplier and the lack of a suitable alternative supplier, we have decided to pull hpgiftnhome.com from it's internet spot entirely.
In the future, we will possibly replace the site hpgiftnhome.com with a site (and a blog to go along with it) offering only the unique books (offered as ebooks) from a specific author. In fact, we are currently doing the research necessary to build a successful site for this purpose, and we are even beginning tentative building of this site. We already offer one of these books on the website http://www.hastprotrucks.com and plan to offer the others there as well just as soon as the books are finished.
These books are not the typical ebooks written in a couple of hours writing time, they are real books that take months and months to write, proof read, edit and finally publish. The first book entitled "Tire trouble? Handling problems?" (a DIY technical book for heavy vehicles) was in the planning and writing stages for well over a year before it was eventually edited then published. We have gotten very good feedback from everyone that has purchased & read the book.
Ebooks have gotten a bad rap from all those really useless ebooks on the web today, but our ebooks are real books, they are just offered in ebook format. We publish and promote them through our company Hastpro, so the cost of publishing and promotion is held to a minimum. We use the popular Adobe PDF format to publish these ebooks so they are and will be compatible with all computer operating systems.
If we indeed introduce such a site and blog, we will post the URLs here well before actually shutting down this blog.

Truck tent - A personal experience
When you talk about and think about purchasing a truck tent, one personal experience comes to mind involving a Sportz truck tent. It was on an overnight fishing trip to a small lake about 80 miles from my home. I own a travel trailer but I also needed to pull my boat trailer on small gravel roads and small State highways without a shoulder. I decided to use my truck tent because pulling tandem trailers was not at all realistic.
In the wee hours of the morning, a violent storm containing a tornado (tornado did not touch down at my camping site) and very heavy rain/wind came directly over my camp site. I was asleep inside the truck tent when the storm hit. The wind whipped at the tent and pickup violently and the rain was so heavy it almost sank my exposed boat.
That truck tent weathered that storm just fine and I stayed high and dry inside it. I was completely sold on Sportz truck tents from that moment on.
I attribute some of the tent's stability on it's very strong bungee type tie downs positioned at the base of each pole end anchored to the truck by strong hooks. Other bungee type tie downs attach forward and rearward further stabilizing the tent The stretched bungee tie downs tend to keep tension on the tie down points constantly even in heavy wind. Since the tent is not staked out in soft ground but attached to the truck with those stretched bungee tie downs, it is so much more stabile than a ground tent.
Since I was pickup bed height off the ground, even the heavy rain could not flood the floor of the tent nor did the tent leak anywhere.
These Sportz truck tents and Camp Right truck tents, designed & purchased to fit most any pickup truck, are available at http://www.hastprotrucks.com

Getting trained as an auto mechanic
One of my articles appearing at: http://www.helium.com/tm/818342/perfect-example-someone-wants
My life is a perfect example for someone who wants to go into the automotive mechanical field but does not really have the money to almost completely quit work and attend a formal school.
You see, my dad was a small engine and automotive mechanic who taught me a lot. When I graduated high school, my dream was to become an aviation maintenance technician but it required a minimum of two years at a full time school.
My dad and mother or I couldn't afford the added expense with almost no income from me, so that dream went by the way side. I desperately needed a source of decent income so as an alternative I couldn't wait to become a truck driver. A couple of short lived jobs later, that was exactly where I found myself. That job also carried along the responsibility of some maintenance work on the trucks I drove (a tradition of sorts back then). So did the next few driving jobs. Those experiences as a truck driver proved invaluable later in life.
I finally decided truck driving was not for me so I tried my hand at several other occupations and finally wound up working at a commercial tree nursery where I again found myself taking on mechanical responsibilities, even taking some formal training at a nearby technical school. Seems I couldn't stay clear of mechanics whether it was on mine, a relative or friends vehicle, or on the job working on a truck, tractor, ditching machine or you name it.
My brother tried his hand at a shop of his own and I decided to help for a while. This really began my career as a full fledged mechanic. About three years later I started to work for a large truck dealership in a neighboring city. 25 years later I was still in the big truck field, but along the way I became a highly trained ASE certified Master Medium/Heavy Truck & Bus Technician. I didn't turn down any opportunity at further training and certification, Let me tell you, that led me all over a great part of the US going to first this school and that school. A blank wall in my house will barely hold the certificates I collected.
I guess the message here is to get on board any job that will subject you to the mechanical field if the funds are not available to attend a technical school. Then get as much training as you can anywhere you can, and the auto field will just happen for you if you have the mindset for it along with the drive to take that next step.
Automotive mechanics of caliber don't just happen along, making them in big demand and the demand is getting bigger all the time. Especially where the electronic world is concerned. Computers and electronics are an increasingly large part of all automotive applications today and will be even more a part of it tomorrow. Some training in those areas is certainly advisable.
A description I keep hearing from people in the know (and I agree), is that a person who is both mechanical minded AND computer/electronics savvy will get to the point of earnings akin to airline pilots and beyond. A huge demand for these people already exists.
One final thought, start right now putting together your tools and toolboxes because they cost thousands and most shops require you provide your own tools to a certain degree. A weekly allowance for tool purchases is the only way to go for a person serious about becoming any kind of automotive mechanic.
Some places where you can get a job and both receive the background and training necessary to become a full blown auto technician is listed below:
WalMart, Sears & other auto service centers
Tire shops (they also do light to medium auto mechanics)
Taxi & limousine services
Bus companies
Public School shops
City, county & State shops
Trucking & delivery companies (including such as UPS, Fed Ex, etc.)
Auto service centers in general
Exhaust repair shops
Auto glass companies
Radiator repair shops
Driveline repair shops
Alternator & starter re-builders
Transmission & rear axle re-builders
Engine re-builders
And the list go on.
You see, the possibilities are there. All you need to do is get in there and dig while being open to any and all chances to advance.
