Make Money Online in a Tough Economy January 29th, 2010
Have you always wondered why others are making big money online and you have trouble earning just a few measly bucks? Do you dream of online earnings that you can make from the comfort of your home without having to answer to a boss? Would you like to make money online in this tough economy? Find out how others are earning big money online and how you can too.
Most successful online entrepreneurs have more than one source of income. They use websites, blogs, affiliate products, residual and multi-level programs, Ebay income, advertising revenue, their own products, and other people products. Few people that make big money online do it by using just a single technique.
And that is a mistake that most new comers make. They hear about a program that interests them and they commit all of their efforts to that one thing. If success doesn’t come to them right away, they quit working the program and feel that they can’t make money online.
Few successful online business owners make money off of just one thing. It is almost always a combination of different income sources. Some of these sources earn just a few dollars a month and others make thousands. It is through this diversification that they find products and systems that are the most profitable.
Most successful individuals use 10-12 different programs that make money at any given time. There are some that make more than others, but at the end of the year when you add everything up, you can make tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But to make it all work, you have to get started. If you are not making any money online and you are using one single system, branch out and look for other programs that sound profitable. It is through this diversification that you can achieve true success and begin making real money online.

To set up a forum website, there are six steps you will need to take:
Step 1: Register a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. For example, yahoo.com, articlesbase.com, threehosts.com or wikipedia.org.
Step 2: Buy a web hosting package providing phpBB, vBulletin or SMF to host your website online. A web hosting service provides you with online space and needed softwares. This enables you to get your forum online at your registered domain name. We recommend getting your domain and web hosting plan from the same company. This way, it is often possible to get your domain for free, due to some web hosting services offering a domain as a free gift today.
Step3: Install your favorite forum software. To do this automatically, install the forum software using Fantastico. Currently most web hosts have phpBB, vBulletin and SMF forum softwares available in their Fantastico. To install, you must first log into your web hosting account. Then choose the blue smiley face (called Fantastico) viewable on cpanel. Click on the desired forum software; they all look nearly the same. While phpBB is great for a new forum and has some great features, vBulletin is easier to use and maintain and is nicer to use. Select the domain name you would like to install the board to. The “Install in directory” box can be left empty in case you want to have your forum as the starting page for your website (http://www.yourdomain.com). You can specify a directory, e.g forum, in case you want to have your forum installed at http://www.yourdomain.com/forum.
Step4: Select the username and the password for the forum administrator.
Step5: Fill in the Site Name and the Short Description fields which will be appeared in the header of each page of your forum. Proceed by clicking Finish installation. You will be taken to a page with the administrative panel of the board.
Step6: Now, you can easily define the categories/sub-categories of the forum and manage them as the administrator.
