Make more money with Halo Meditation method

I have devised a new way of meditation and I call it "Halo Meditation" method. This is not to be confused with Halo, the best selling game on Xbox. Although I was inspired to discover this innovative method of meditation by paying the Xbox game Halo for over thousand times in the last year. I believe I have played the most levels of this game than anyone else on this planet and so I believe that the new meditation method has been a gift to me from the Almighty.

My Halo Meditation method can be used to meditate almost instantaneously and almost you can do this anytime and from anywhere you are. This does not require you to close your eyes and do the ancient methods of Om or Pranayam or Yoga.

A Halo, is a symbolic representation of the aura, or nimbus of light believed in many cultures to surround a Godly or enlightened person. It is used in art, especially Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu religious images, to depict holiness. The practice is probably a holdover from the identification of deities with the sun.

My Halo Meditation method is nothing but a way to see Aura and/or practice seeing Auras. Choosing good conditions is important: not only you see the Aura better, but also to gain a confidence about what you see.

Situate the person in front of a very softly illuminated PLAIN WHITE background. A color background will change Aura colors, so you need additional knowledge about combining colors. Some combinations of background and Aura colors may cause misinterpretation problems.

Choose ONE SPOT to look at. The middle of the forehead is VERY GOOD. This is a location of so called Brow Chakra or the Third Eye. In some cultures (India) they put a mark on a forehead. Such a mark in ancient times could mean the invitation to look and see the Aura.

Look at this spot for 30 to 60 seconds or longer

After 30 seconds analyze surroundings with your peripheral vision, while still looking at the same spot. Continuing the concentration is most important. Resist temptation to look around. You should see that the background nearby the person is brighter and has a DIFFERENT color than the background further away. This is your own perception of the Aura. The longer you concentrate, the better you will see it. Remember, concentration on one spot increases your sensitivity by accumulating the effect of the Aura vibration reaching your eyes.
Taking a SNAPSHOT of an Aura.

After concentrating long enough to see the aura, close your eyes. For a second or two you will see the Aura ONLY. Be prepared. You have only one second or two until your photosensitive cells will stop vibrating and sending visual sensations to the brain. And if you miss is, you have to start concentrating again. Try to experiment how fast or slow you should close your eyes.

How to see your own Aura

Stand about 1.5 m in front of a good size mirror. In the beginning it is best if the background behind you is plain white and there are no shadows. Illumination should be VERY soft and uniform not bright. Follow instructions above for seeing Auras.

PRACTICE for at least 10-15 minutes each day to increase your sensitivity and develop Auric sight. Remember that practice is required to develop Auric sight.

Trick to get Lowest Car Insurance Quote and Miles

As mentioned earlier in my Blog you can save money by comparing insurance quotes, here is a technique to get the lowest insurance quote possible and some free miles too.

My car insurance policy is due for renewal in March, and its that time of the year to get the 500 Bonus Delta Skymiles from Ameriprise Auto & Home Insurance.

Before renewing my policy with Geico, I get my 500 bonus miles from Ameriprise using this link.

I verify that Ameriprise offers the same quote as others on this link.

Then, I go to the company offering the lowest quote and select the following coverages to get the best quote possible

Coverages Limits / Deductibles Total Vehicle Premium: $329.70

Bodily Injury Liability $12,500/$25,000 $57.40
Property Damage Liability $10,000 $52.10
Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury I Reject this Coverage $0.00
Underinsured Motorist I Reject this Coverage $0.00
Comprehensive $500 Ded. $53.40
Collision $1,000 Ded. $145.70
Emergency Road Service Full Coverage Vehicle $5.40
Rental Reimbursement $25/Day, $750Max $15.70

I have a 2006 New Honda Civic and had to pay $329.70 premium for renewing my Geico Policy for the next 6 months. I will report in September if I get a better deal than $329.70 when I renew this policy again. Let me know by commenting on this blog if you get a better deal than $329.70, for the same coverage.

Make money by using Squidoo

Do you Squidoo ? If you don’t you should!

In case you’ve been living in a barn for the last year I’ll explain what Squidoo is and why it is so useful.

What is Squidoo - Squidoo is a new social marketing type site that allows it’s users to create what is called a “lens” A lens is simply a customized page that anyone can create. These lenses can easily be customized with a cool (easy) back-panel.

You can add your own products, Website links, affiliate links, articles etc. to your lens.

Why is Squidoo so Useful? - Quite simply because it ranks HIGH in the search engines. More and more squidoo lenses are coming up for HIGHLY competitive keywords every day. In other words, create a lens for your main niche keyword and there is a very good chance that the lens will outrank your own niche website.

If you want to take a look at my lens you can by following this link - http://www.squidoo.com/cschwabs. I would love to see your comments there.

How to Form an LLC for Your Blog

When I first started making money online, I was doing everything under my name for the first few years. Having a business name not only makes you look more legitimate, but it can also keep your personal assets safe, should you ever be sued. Is your blog or web site is finally starting to pick up? For the past several months or years, you may have been doing everything under your name for business. Now you want to get more legitimate and start your own company and become an LLC. What are the best methods for registering for an LLC and how can you avoid those costly lawyer fees?

The old fashion way to file for an LLC, is to contact your accountant or lawyer and have them do all of the dirty work for you… which will end up costing you a decent amount. Now with the power of the internet, the process of registering for an LLC is not only faster, but much cheaper.

Companies like LegalZoom offer services which range from $139, plus state filing fees (which can range around $200-$500) for a basic LLC registration, and also offer a “deluxe package” for $369. The deluxe package includes delivery of all completed paperwork within a 7-10 day period. Another site, MyCorporation also provides the same type of services, which range in the $200-$300 area, but include state filing fees. You can visit their site and plug in your state to get a full estimate on setting everything up. Lastly, The Company Corporation also has an excellent site. Right off their main page you can select your state and type of entity you are looking for. After clicking submit, the next page will give you an in depth run down on costs and what your package will include.

If you would like to take on the task yourself, you can still file for an LLC without going through another party. You can go to Google and search for the Secretary of your state, then you will find the necessary paper work. It is still recommended that you hire a laywer to go over the benefits and non-benefits of moving over to an LLC. Moving over to an LLC, can/will also change your current tax setup and preparations. Without paying the additional fees to use a company like LegalZoom or MyCorporation, the paper work isn’t that tough… but I personally would rather pay the extra bucks to have it done correctly and not have to worry about it.

How To Find Unclaimed Money and Property ?

If you want to find or collect “lost” money owed to you, you’ve just found the holy grail of unclaimed money sites.
An estimated 7 out of 10 Americans are owed unclaimed money.
Unless you know where to look, you’ll never find a dime of your unclaimed money.
The U.S. Government DOES NOT have one central database for unclaimed money.

How to make money with snow removal services ?

If you decide to have someone plow your drive, here's how it works financially:

1. You pick a snow removal company. You usually select based on price as well as terms (how often/under what conditions they'll plow your drive.)

2. Once you pick a company, you pay them for the full year upfront. I always found this to be interesting since 1) you don't know if you'll even need the service -- what if it doesn't snow much? and 2) you're paying them to render a service and you're not yet sure they'll render it. That's why I would never hire a firm without a solid recommendation from someone I trust.

3. The payment depends on the size/shape of your driveway. Ours is a standard, short, flat, two-car drive and I've seen quotes in the $250 to $300 range. We're about in the lowest price bracket there is -- and it can go way up from here.

4. This financial arrangement is a bet by both parties. The client is betting it will be a bad winter and he'll get his money's worth. The company is betting it won't be so bad that they'll lose money on driver pay, gas, salt, etc. during the year.

5. A friend who owns a snow removal company told me that the breakeven point is 25 trips. If he makes fewer than 25 trips to a location each year, he'll make money. If it's more than 25 trips, he loses money.

6. How many trips are needed depends on the agreement (my friend's company plows anytime it snows at least two inches), the amount of snow (of course) and when the snow falls (better during the day, on weekends, and all at once.)

Personally, we use a combination approach of shoveling and a snowblower. I have a small drive and not a huge amount of sidewalk space, so it's manageable.

What about you? How do you get the snow off your driveway and how much does it cost?

Free Hosting for Bikini Blog Coming Soon

My bikini pics are drawing more visitors than ever and so while searching for a hosting site for setting up a new bikini blog to make money I found this....

I found a site where you get free hosting (5 GB), free applications (20) and free bandwidth (20 GB) for nothing (free).

My5GB.com offers anyone that signs up all of this and more. There’s a whole selection of webapps you can install via a script, to save yourself the hassle of doing all the manual installs.

You can get your own blog, forum, image gallery, wiki etc. If you have a domain, you can redirect it to your free space on the my5GB servers and nobody will ever find out what a cheapskate you really are!

So what’s the catch? That’s what we thought as soon as we found this.

Thinking we’d probably be forced to watch or have 3d party advertising on your site.

No such thing though. My5GB really is free.

Where to find Free Music to listen to on the Internet

Wowee! I was so surprised to find this source of free music to listen to on the Internet that I immediately wrote this post to share with you all. Music search engines scour the web looking for music files that people have uploaded to servers. Because they don’t store the music files themselves but instead index these files and allow them to be found, music search engines are somewhat on the fringes of copyright laws. Also, the fact that you can play the music you find, create playlists that you can save and even embed music into websites using an embedded player means that it’s free music heaven for you and me. Here are 3 of the most useful free music search engines for your listening pleasure!

1. SeeqPod

SeeqPod has the best user interface in my opinion. One click on the speaker icon next to the search results adds the song to your playlist and automatically plays it. Also, the exact location of the song on the server is listed underneath the song title. Although it’s not a clickable link, it doesn’t take much imagination to download the actual file on the server. I’m assuming here that you already own the music you want to download. Yah, right …

2. Songza

Songza calls itself an internet jukebox but it’s hard to see how. It has similar options to SeeqPod like playlists, embeddable players but it’s interface is rather cumbersome. One plus feature is that you can rate the recording quality of the songs you find. Poorly rated recordings of the same song will appear lower in it’s search listings. Also, I found some songs in Songza that I could not find in SeeqPod. So, it pays to use several music search engines to find the songs you want.

3. Skreemr

Skreemr by far returned the most search results for me. It too has an embeddable player but no playlists. Details of the songs like audio format, bit rate, duration and file sizes are available. A direct link to the song on the server is also shown and you can rank the quality and reliability of the files.

How to backup your PC or Mac online for free

I found a great, hassle free way to backup important files automatically on your PC or Mac. Take a look at www.mozy.com’s online backup service. They offer you a free 2GB account to use for life.. or at least while they still exist :). Don’t immediately click on the Get Started button on the home page. Instead go to MozyHome and sign up for the MozyHome Free. After you signup, download the mozy remote backup software and install it to your computer.

What I like about their backup software is that it can backup all your outlook and thunderbird email contacts, favourites in Firefox and IE, files that are in use, individual folders and files all automatically.

You can either choose to backup when your computer is idle or at a scheduled time everyday. Most importantly, Mozy works in the background so you never need to remember when you last backed up. You can set it and forget it.

Now Mozy is an online backup solution. Hence, a fast broadband connection is essential. Fortunately, Mozy is smart enough to copy over only files that have changed since the last backup. So the first backup may take a few hours if you have hundreds of MB to backup but subsequent incremental backups should be quite fast. If you only use Mozy to backup important documents, email contacts and some photos, 2GB should be more than enough.

Gspace: Store Your Files On Gmail

Gmail has given you a lot of space for your emails. Too much space. It was released on April 1, 2004 as a private beta release by invitation only and was opened to all as a public beta on February 7, 2007. With an initial storage capacity of 1 GB, it drastically increased the standard for free storage.

Gmail currently offers over 6000 MB of free storage (increasing by approximately 3.348 MB every day), with an additional 10 GB available for US$20 per year.

With Gmail Space (also called Gspace), a Firefox extension, take advantage of the extra file space to store files on your Gmail account.

The extension acts like an FTP application on your Firefox browser. After installing the extension, you can use it from the “Tools” menu or by clicking the little Gspace icon on the bottom-right status bar. The Gspace window will pop up ready to upload or download your files.

Blog Income Report for Feb 2008

Another month has passed pretty quickly and it is time to report my earnings. Feb 2008 earnings were not as good as Jan 2008 due to the less number of days. I was not able to beat my Jan 2008 record in regards to earnings but overall this was a good month. I just fell short of $23 to break my Jan 2008 earnings of $343.63, and still much better than my December 2007 earnings of $115.33. Or even my starter incomes :
Nov 2007 earnings of $124.07
Oct 2007 earnings of $111.75

I’m still trying to get a little bit more diversity into my earnings with the goal that my AdSense earnings jump 50% while keeping the money earned stable. I think I will have to test a few schemes and get rid of some that do not make that much sense anymore. I have monetized my blog in 19 different ways listed below.

Total Blog Income Report for Feb 2008: $320.30

As mentioned earlier I want to concentrate on direct ad sales as well because this is something that I have been neglecting for a very long time. The stats from last month showed for instance that both Evertons and John Chows direct ad sales made up 9.11% and 11.45% of their total earnings while mine remained at 0.33%.

To sum up my plans for Mar 2008:

+ Focus on direct ad sales
+ Remove AdSense Search and install a better search
+ Get rid of Feedburner Ads in Feeds
+ Try out some selected affiliate programs to diversify my income
