			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, it is actually true. You can <a href="http://freeinfouniverse.com/">make money</a> from posting videos on YouTube, some people have even become very rich this way. The principle behind this method of generating money is very simple; you post videos on YouTube, people watch your videos and click on ads and you get a percentage of the revenue generated. Unfortunately though, unless you have a real talent for making high quality videos, it&#8217;s unlikely that you will end up being one of the lucky few who make millions from this method. Despite this it is not difficult <a href="http://www.thefrugalrebel.com/2010/02/02/start-a-passive-income-business-for-free/">supplement your normal income</a> by posting videos on YouTube.</p>
<p>Before trying to make money by posting videos it&#8217;s a good idea to see where your strengths and weaknesses are at making and promoting videos. Start by creating an account and uploading some of your videos, try to make videos that will appeal to a wide audience so you can get lots of people to watch them. Keep an eye on how many hits each video is getting. After about a month has passed you will be ready to try your hand at promoting your videos, take note of how many views each video was making before you try to promote it.</p>
<p>You can promote your videos in many different ways; you can start to write your own blog, start a facebook group and try to get as many people to join as possible or you can write comments with hyperlinks on YouTube itself. Try each of these methods of promotion, each one on a different video. After a month has passed check to see if the number of views per month has gone up, whichever method(s) of promotion has worked most effectively is the one that you are best at and is the one that you will use to promote your videos once you are <a href="http://http://freeinfouniverse.com/getting-started-online-2/">earning money</a> from them. It is important that you test your ability because you want your account to be associated with high quality videos, so you don&#8217;t want your account that you will be making money off to have your first attempts. Remember that the higher that quality YouTube thinks you are the higher up they are likely to put you on a page when someone searches for one of your videos .</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve done your testing then you are ready to start the account that you will make money off. Take the videos you have already made off your old account and recreate an improved version of your good old videos for your new account (or if one or more of your ordinal videos got a lot of views then use the ordinal video). Once you&#8217;ve uploaded the videos wait a month or so and do the promotions that worked best on your last account for all your new videos, once you have several hundred views on each video you need to become a partner with YouTube, to do this, go to homepage and click on the link that says partnerships under programs. From here you can apply to become a partner, once you apply YouTube will review your account. They will look at how many views your videos have received and how many videos you have. Based on this they will decide whether or not to approve you as a partner. Almost always they will unless your videos contain copyright material.</p>
<p>Once you are a partner with YouTube you will get a commission from every ad that is clicked on by someone who was watching your videos. The more people click on your ad the more money you earn. It&#8217;s as simple as that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re currently experiencing significant financial pressure, then you’ve probably considered a host of different options in an attempt to get your life back on track. Because financial pressure can wreak havoc on people psychologically, most are willing to do whatever it takes to put an end to their misery. This often includes rushing into programs that may or may not be a good fit for their individual situation. Although it may seem counter-intuitive to take your time when it comes to <a href="http://www.thefrugalrebel.com/tips-on-how-to-save-money/">getting out of debt</a>, it really is in your best interest to avoid signing up for the first debt relief option that comes your way.</p>
<p>In looking at many of the most common <a href="http://claimingbankruptcy.net/debt-relief-options/">debt relief options</a>, there is literally a plan for just about everyone. In order to make the right decision for your individual situation it’s always best to consult with a qualified and reputable financial professional. Listed below in no particular order are 3 of the most common options to <a href="http://claimingbankruptcy.net/clear-debt/">clear debt</a> from your life –</p>
<p>1.    Credit Counseling – this process refers to the act of paying an agency to make your payment for you. It’s particularly attractive to borrowers that have the funds available to make their payments, but that lack the initiative to ensure that all of their creditors are paid on time.<br />
2.    Debt Settlement – this process involves a company that works on your behalf to negotiate directly with your creditors. The goal here is to agree upon a significant reduction in the total amount you owe.<br />
3.    Bankruptcy – often considered the most severe form of <a href="http://www.thefrugalrebel.com">financial repair</a>, the personal bankruptcy process under Chapter 7 attempts to eliminate large portions of your debt. You must be approved to file based on your financial situation, and if approved, you will experience a significant blow to your credit rating.</p>
<p>Ultimately, dealing with debt is all about looking at your individual situation and applying the best possible solution. With so many different options available, finding the right one is all about working with a financial professional to determine the best course of action.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The problem with money is that everyone wants it and no one ever has enough of it. <a href="http://www.thefrugalrebel.com/2010/01/04/save-money-with-planning/" target="_self">Saving money</a> is the smart move for everyone. A well funded savings account can give peace of mind that an unexpected expense will not turn into a financial emergency. The following are several <a href="http://amateurassetallocator.com/2010/04/08/useful-tips-on-how-to-save-money/" target="_self">tips on how to save money</a>.</p>
<p>Every financial expert will tell you that you should pay yourself first. Put aside a set amount of money each month to go into savings before you pay your bills. Most employers have the capability to direct deposit into multiple accounts. Set up your direct deposit so that a portion of your check goes into a savings account. You won’t miss what you never had.</p>
<h2>Improve Your Credit</h2>
<p>Everybody knows having poor credit will cost you when it comes time to borrow for a home or new car, but most don&#8217;t realize just how large a drain on their wallet having poor credit can be.  <a href="http://amateurassetallocator.com/2009/03/18/annualcreditreportcom-is-the-only-official-site-to-get-your-free-credit-report/" target="_self">Check your credit annually</a> to make sure your report is free of costly mistakes.</p>
<h2>Cook At Home</h2>
<p>Food is a substantial cost in a family’s monthly budget. One way to save on food costs is to eat out less often. This means making your meals at home. In addition, preparing your <a href="http://www.thefrugalrebel.com/eating-your-way-into-debt/">lunch at home</a> and taking it to work instead of eating out every day will save you money.</p>
<h2>Shop Around</h2>
<p>Comparison shopping is an effective way to save on purchases. This is true for big expenses such as vehicles to relatively smaller household expenses. Check your local ads for sales and discounts prior to shopping. Clip coupons to help cut down your grocery bill.</p>
<h2>Save Electricity</h2>
<p>Consider making some relatively easy lifestyle changes. This means switching off lights when you are not using them, changing your light bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs, and turning setting your air conditioner to run at a higher temperature.</p>
<h2>Trim Your Tax Bill</h2>
<p>Consult your accountant to find out what tax deductions you are missing out on. Making your home more energy efficient saves you money immediately and could potentially be tax deductible.</p>
<p>Finding ways to<a href="http://www.thefrugalrebel.com"> save money</a> doesn’t have to be difficult. One or two relatively small changes in your behavior could equal a significant amount of money saved.</p>
