    Earn Extra Cash Online Starting Today
    The internet is a great place to do research and find everything that you need. So many people use it for so many different things that it is hard to even imagine what we would do without it. Then again, many people have heard that it is possible to make money online and I'm sure that you have heard the same. We all get barraged with the same emails that wow us with stories about how you can start from scratch and make a fortune overnight. I hate to burst that bubble, but I have to tell you that those stories are pure hogwash.Even though it isn't possible to get rich overnight, there still are some ways that you can earn extra cash online starting today. Aside from doing things that are a little advanced which I teach my students, I have found that the best way to jump into the Internet world and begin to earn extra cash online is to fill out short surveys for cash. There are plenty of places that are willing to pay you for your opinion, and more importantly your information. These places will pay you anywhere from a few dollars to up to twenty dollars and more just to fill out their online forms.So if you want to begin to earn extra cash online I would suggest that you first start with online paid surveys to get your feet wet. As long as you are going with a legitimate survey company you can begin earning today and if you put a little time into it you will be on your way to a second income that you can earn in your spare time.

    Doing Business With Friends: Five Tips for Preserving the Friendship... and Your Sanity!
    My colleague, Jane, recently lamented to me an all too familiar story about mixing business and friendship. Jane subcontracted copywriting work out her friend, Joan. Jane’s copywriting business was blossoming (partly in response to her most recent brilliant article marketing campaign) and giving the work to Joan seemed like a win-win for both of them.As expected, Joan delivered a glorious first draft. The only problem was halfway through the discussed project, Joan suddenly disappeared!It turned out that Joan was becoming overwhelmed with juggling her own work and the freelance work. The freelance work sunk to the bottom of her priority list because, hey, Jane was her friend and she wouldn’t mind. However, as the days turned into weeks, Joan became embarrassed and began hiding from Jane’s e-mail messages and calls. Now both friends were in a pickle!Jane would have preferred Joan tell her up front that she couldn't meet the agreed upon terms. She didn’t get angry with her friend, but it made her wonder how wise it is to involve your close friends in professional endeavors.One the other side of the fence is the business person who agrees to do something for a friend for a reduced price or free. Another writer stated that she believes she gives away too much of her goods and services dirt cheap or free to friends. She’s had experiences doing business with friends in which she’s thought, "Oh, I'll do this one thing for him and then he will do something of equal value for me." Often this writer ends up feeling irritated because she’s running short on time and money and she often doesn’t get back what she put into the trade.Here are some tips to help y

    Tips For The Recruiters
    Effective Job AdTo be effective, a job ad should attract right candidates and motivate them to apply. Consider job ads as marketing tools that can spark interest in the best candidates and ensure that they apply for the job.The job title should be descriptive and exciting. Title, being the first thing that readers see, should be phrased to grab the job seeker’s attention. Include the benefits of working in your company. List requirements as bullet points rather than a block of text. Include only the “must have” skills as requirements.As you create the job ad, keep in mind that your primary goal is to sell the job and the company.Create email templates using Contact ManagersRecruiters and Human Resource managers often repeatedly compose similar documents.

    Valuing Stocks Using Valuation Ratios
    Valuation means assigning a ''proper'' value, or price, to a stock. The quote marks around ''proper'' remind us that while the word implies that there is a single ''correct'' price, in fact the concept is theoretical. Valuation is nevertheless an important guide to what price at which to buy or sell a stock. If you pay too much for a stock—more than it is ''worth''—your returns will suffer forever after.Many large-scale institutional investors—mutual funds, brokerages, hedge funds—have developed complex mathematical models for determining a stock’s ''proper'' price. The individual investor needs to go a different route.Fortunately, a second method exists which is just as good, easy to understand, and readily available. This second method uses what are called valuation ratios.Valuation ratios divide the stock’s current price (P) by quantifiable aspects of its business: its earnings, its revenue, its book value, and so on. Each ratio is then compared to historical norms to tell whether the stock is fairly priced at its current price P.Here are some common valuation ratios that the Sensible Stock Investor uses:--P/E, or price-to-earnings ratio. This compares the stock’s price to the company’s reported earnings. This is the famous ''multiple'' that one often hears about.-- P/S, or price-to-sales ratio, which compares the stock’s price to the company’s revenue.-- P/B, or price-to-book ratio, which compares the stock’s price to the company’s book value (as computed by accepted accounting principles).-- PEG, which is the P/E ratio divided by the earnings growth rate of the company.-- P/CF, or price-to-cashflow, which compares the sto

    Color and Web Design - How to Make It All Work Together
    As humans we see and interpret color using the visible spectrum. The colors we see are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. They are all made up of various wavelengths (measured in nanometers) and are really, really small. In fact, there are tons more colors but as humans we visually can see them with our naked eyes. We can use tools to see things in the visual range of say, infrared.There are additive colors and subtractive colors. Additive colors are used with television or computer screens. So, when you add the primary colors red, blue and green together on a screen you will get white. Subtractive colors are used when printing. So, when you add the primary colors together you get black.I am sure almost everyone has seen a color wheel. The color wheel shows you the relationships between each of the colors. Such as when a color is next to one an other this is called analogous colors. An example would be with red, orange and yellow. These colors make up an analogous color scheme. It is very popular because it also readily found in nature.When two colors are opposite each other on the color wheel we call these complementary colors. A great example is red and green, another popular choice during Christmas. Those are some of the basics, there is a lot more to learn such as hues, contrast, saturation etc. But, we can go into that another time. Next we need to take this information we just learned and see how color is tied into our emotion.Color effects how we perceive the world around us. It can affect our emotional and physical responses to visual stimuli, and can even govern how we interpret these stimuli. This is why color is so
