Really Make Money Online; Earn Extra Income; How to Earn Extra Cash; Earn Lots of Money; Making More Money

Hi Friends,

I love writing and maintaining this Site! It’s exciting to know that I am helping people discover some really great ways to make extra income without having to take a second nebbish ”job”.  

There are lots of friends out there that have part time jobs working in stores and service business and enjoying the work. That’s great, but my blog is primarily directed to those people that don’t want to “just have a second job” but want to have something special they do in their spare time. 

I would like to hear from those of you that have discovered a wonderful way to make extra income, are making money from this second “career”, and are willing to share it with others. 

I am not interested in hearing from you guys that are selling “how to” stuff, I want to hear from those of you that are doing it. If you are selling “how to earn extra income” materials, write a 500 to 700 word article telling all about it and I  will happily publish it if it’s informative and good.  

5 Easy and Simple Methods to Earn Extra Income Quickly
 

With a struggling economy, developing ways to make extra income has never been more important. Even an extra income of $500 a month can go a long way to paying down debt or increasing your savings. And the good news is that there are more ways to make a second income that most can imagine. So let me first describe how making even an extra $500 per month is so valuable. Then I’ll layout the things to consider in deciding how to generate extra income, followed by Easy 5 multiple income stream ideas.

The real value of extra income

Last week a friend and I were talking about the money I make online, which is several thousand dollars per month. His question was why I get so excited about this cash given that it is a lot less than I make from my day job. So here are a few ways to look at an extra $500 per month:

1. Savings: To earn $500 a month ($6,000 per year) in interest from a savings account at 4%, you would need to save $150,000!

2. Investments: To earn $6,000 a year from the stock market with 10% returns, you would need to invest $60,000.

Viewed this way, even a little extra income each month is extremely valuable.

What makes for a great source of extra income instantly?

Anybody can go get a job at Starbucks to earn some extra income. But that’s not what I’m talking about. For me, a great source of additional income should satisfy these four factors:

Flexible: How you make extra income should allow you to be the boss. If you have a full time job, the last thing you want is being forced to work on somebody else’s schedule.

Enjoyable: Making additional sources of income is a lot of work, so you should enjoy what you’re doing.

Sustainable: The ideal extra income source will generate money when you’re not working at it. The idea is to build something that can keep making money without you.

Scalable: Look for income sources that can generate substantial amounts of income. In other words, think big.

Five Easy Extra Income Ideas

1. Website Design: With the continued growth of the Internet, website design has become a growing industry. Unless you already have the know-how, you’ll need to spend some time learning the technology. But there are plenty of online resources available, and the best in the business can earn a great income.

2. Virtual Assistant: Virtual assistants today can do just about anything for you that does not require their physical presence. Many virtual assistants from places like India are working full time for people in the U.S. The best VAs can earn $30 to $50 per hour. The starting place if you are interested is Elance.

3. Freelance writer: If you have a knack for writing, you can earn great money writing for others. Not sure how to start? Contact bloggers who are always looking for great writing. As blogs grow, they can afford to pay freelancers good money for quality articles. Websites looking to build links also hire freelancers to write guest posts to be published on blogs and websites.

4. Blogging: Making money blogging requires very little cash investment and can be done on your own time. I started blogging a year ago, and at that time, literally knew nothing about how to start a blog, run one, or make money from it. It really is much easier that it may seem at first, and you can make thousands of dollars each month. I won’t kid you; it does take hard work and perseverance. But the pay off can be substantial.

5. Ebay Store: It’s now really easy to set up online Ebay store. You can of course buy stuff to sell on Ebay. But the better approach is to create an online store to sell products that others are selling on Ebay and share in the commissions generated by the sales. To find more information, check out the Ebay Partner Network and the Build a Niche Store (BANS) site. BANS is really cool software that can generate an online EBay store in minutes.

This is why Tata is a Respected name in India!

H N Srinivas (HNS)– Senior Executive Vice President, Taj Group of Hotels

HNS narrated the 26 th November 2008 terror attack on Taj Mumbai and there were some important points.

A. Terrorist entry

Ø They entered from the Leopold Colaba hotel entrance and also from the northern entrance – spraying indiscriminate bullets on the Taj security personnel and guests in general.

Ø Though Taj had a reasonable security – they were surely not equipped to deal with terrorists who were spraying 6 bullets per trigger.

Ø The strategy of the terrorists was to throw chunks of RDX in an open area that will explode and burn – creating chaos so that the guests and staff run helter skelter so that the terrorists could kill them. The idea was to create maximum casualties.

Ø There were several critical gatherings and functions happening in the hotel on that day – a Bohra wedding, global meet of Unilever CEOs and Board members and 2 other corporate meetings were being held in the hotel – besides the usual crowd.

Ø The firing and chaos began at about 8.30 p.m. and the staff including employees on casual and contract basis displayed exemplary presence of mind, courage and sacrifice to protect the guests who were in various halls and conference rooms.

B. Stories of Staff Heroics

Ø A young lady guest relation executive with the HLL gathering stopped any of the members going out and volunteered 3 times to go out and get stuff such as ice cubes for guests when the situation outside the hall was very explosives and she could have been easily the target of the bullets.

Ø Thomas George a captain escorted 54 guests from a backdoor staircase and when he was going down last he was shot by the terrorists

Ø There were 500 emails from various guests narrating heroics of the staff and thanking them for saving their lives

In a subsequent function, Ratan Tata broke down in full public view and sobbed saying – “the company belongs to these people”.

Ø The wife of Thomas George who laid his life saving others said, she and the kids were proud of the man and that she did not know that for 25 years she lived with a man who was so courageous and brave.

Ø The episode happened on 26th November, a significant part of the hotel was burnt down and destroyed – the hotel was re-opened on 21st December and all the employees of the hotel were paraded in front of the guests.

Ø It was clearly a saga of extra-ordinary heroics by ordinary people for their organisation and in a way for their country. The sense of duty and service was unprecedented.

Ø The young lady who protected and looked after the HLL guests was a management trainee and we often speak of juniority and seniority in the organisation. She had no instructions from any supervisor to do what she did -

o She took just 3 minutes to rescue the entire team through the kitchen
o Cars were organised outside the hotel as per seniority of the members

People who exhibited courage included janitors, waiters, directors, artisans and captains – all level of people

C. THE TATA GESTURE

 
Ø All category of employees including those who had completed even 1 day as casuals were treated on duty during the time the hotel was closed

Ø Relief and assistance to all those who were injured and killed
Ø The relief and assistance was extended to all those who died at the railway station, surroundings including the “Pav-Bhaji” vendor and the pan shop owners
Ø During the time the hotel was closed, the salaries were sent by money order

Ø A psychiatric cell was established in collaboration with Tata Institute of Social Sciences to counsel those who needed such help

Ø The thoughts and anxieties going on people’s mind was constantly tracked and where needed psychological help provided

Ø Employee outreach centers were opened where all help, food, water, sanitation, first aid and counseling was provided. 1600 employees were covered by this facility

Ø Every employee was assigned to one mentor and it was that person’s responsibility to act as a “single window” clearance for any help that the person required

Ø Ratan Tata personally visited the families of all the 80 employees who in some manner – either through injury or death – were affected.

Ø The dependents of the employees were flown from outside Mumbai to Mumbai and taken care off in terms of ensuring mental assurance and peace. They were all accommodated in Hotel President for 3 weeks

Ø Ratan Tata himself asked the families and dependents – as to what they wanted him to do.

Ø In a record time of 20 days, a new trust was created by the Tatas for the purpose of relief of employees.

Ø What is unique is that even the other people, the railway employees, the police staff, the pedestrians who had nothing to do with Tatas were covered by compensation. Each one of them was provided subsistence allowance of Rs. 10,000 per month for 6 months.

Ø A 4 year old granddaughter of a vendor got 4 bullets in her and only one was removed in the Government hospital. She was taken to Bombay hospital and several lacs were spent by the Tatas on her to fully recover her

Ø New hand carts were provided to several vendors who lost their carts

Ø Tata will take responsibility of life education of 46 children of the victims of the terror

Ø This was the most trying period in the life of the organisation. Senior managers including Ratan Tata were attending funerals over the 3 days that were most horrible

Ø The settlement for every deceased member ranged from Rs. 36 to 85 lacs in addition to the following benefits:

o Full last salary for life for the family and dependents
o Complete responsibility of education of children and dependents
o Full Medical facility for the whole family and dependents for rest of their life
o All loans and advances were waived off – irrespective of the amount
o Counselor for life for each person

D. Epilogue
Ø How was such passion created among the employees? How and why did they behave the way they did?

Ø The organisation is clear that it is not something that someone can take credit for. It is not some training and development that created such behaviour. If someone suggests that – everyone laughs.

Ø It has to do with the DNA of the organisation, with the way the TATA culture exists and above all with the situation that prevailed that time. The organisation has always been telling that customers and guests are #1 priority

Ø It is history now that the hotel business was started by Jamshedji Tata when he was once insulted by a British Hotel and refused entrance because he was an Indian.

Ø He created several institutions which later became icons of progress, culture and modernity. IISc is one such institute. He was told by the rulers at that time that he can acquire land for IISc to the extent he could fence the same. He could afford fencing only 400 acres.

When, at the above mentioned HR function, the group hesitatingly made a very rich proposal to Ratan – he said – “Do you think we are doing enough?”
Ratan Tata’s approach was - the organisation would spend several hundred crores in re-building the property – why not spend equally on the employees who gave their lives? ______________________________
