Top 5 ways to Make Money Online: Not a Get Rich Quick Scheme
Top 5 ways to Make Money Online: Not a get Rich Quick Scheme
The ideas on how to make money online listed below are ideas I have used to make money online. All of them require work and some of them you may need to spend little money. But all of them can be started with just $50 or less. All of them require that you put in work in and the money you make depends how much you will be dedicated to it. If you are looking to make money working from home without real work, then you are in the wrong place.

Make Money Selling on eBay
This is my top way to make money online. The amount you make is really how much work you are willing to do. If you have something to sell than you are in luck. If you don’t you can always buy something and sell it for profit. You can buy something from a flea market, yard sale, or even some auctions. Buying from store to resell is not the best idea because a lot of items can be purchased cheaper on eBay that in a store, even with a sale.
Starting off is little hard because you need to build reputation first before bidders will bid higher on your items. With time as you learn more about eBay and how to squeeze every penny from a transaction to make most money. Little practice and you will make money in no time. I am currently working on a video to help sellers maximize profits from each sale.How to sell on ebay

Make Money Selling on Craigslist
This is probably the most profitable website when it comes to selling something. Because you are selling directly to the buyer r and there are is no shipping or any fees that you need to pay. This is defiantly the cheapest way to make money.
There are however few drawback. You need to have time to meet with the buyer. Craigslist has a lot of spammers so you need to create a email that you will dedicated to craigslist as chances are you will be flooded with spammers. But besides that its not a bad way to make few buck here and there,

Make Money from YouTube Videos
Making videos for YouTube and monetize them to make money from viewers.
This required that you have been approved by Google Adsence to make money.
If you at least have couple videos with lots of view that there is a chance that you can get approved. This does not make you a lot of money but if you create a lot of videos that do get popular you can make money and pay for you beers or gas.
-
Make Money from a Blog website.
There is a lot of websites that try to tell you that you can make thousands from blog websites.
Well the truth is you can, but chances that you will actually make a lot are about .0003%. Unfortunately there a millions of bloggers out there and a lot of them are really good so there is a lot of competition and as it is with all websites this takes time and lots of it. To make any real money you will need to at least write one blog a week for about 2 years to start seeing gas money. A lot of people get into blogging but they usually give up after few month when they realize that they have worked hard to see that the made $10 in six months of work. It can take up to 5 years before you actually see any real money but there is always a chance that somehow your blogs become popular and you will make money .

Make Money Selling photos online (royalty free images stock)
One way to sell photos online is to sell to Micro stock websites. I am sure you hard about it on the news how someone started to sell photos online and making money from home. Well its not that easy. At one point those website accepted anyone and any photo that someone was willing to upload. Now the companies are very picky on quality and content, so if you are a photographer the you might do ok, maybe make gas money. If you are not then you will see that you will put in a lot of work and the reward might be extremely small.
I personally don’t make much money from Stock photos, but I have friends that make around $100-$200 a month form it.
Selling on EBay and craigslist is probably the best way to make money but you need to be careful as sometime you can lose money on something you sell and there is always the fact that even if you sell something for $50 you are not really making $50. You need to account that you may need to spend money on shipping and pay selling fees unless you are selling.
Remember you want to Make Money, Not Loose Money

FireEye has discovered early this week that almost all Version of IE (Internet explorer) Version 6 to 11 have a major bug that enables hackers to redirect websites, run malicious software on the user’s computers and even take control to some extent.
Users can run alternative web browsers until Microsoft is able to fix the problem
Microsoft is investigating the issue and for now suggests that users make sure that there Anti-Virus is running properly and take extra cautions when visiting unknown websites, also recommend disabling the Adobe Flash plug-in for now. Microsoft may release fix throe their Windows Security Update feature in Windows, Internet Explorer Update or a Patch will be available to download from Microsoft website.
For Details regarding the IE flaw you can visit FireEye post which provides detail that FireEye has discovered.
Unfortunately for users that still run the most popular Windows XP, they will not see a fix for their Internet Explorer Version 8 because Microsoft has dropped support for Win XP last month. The only options XP user have is Switching to alternative browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox . Both are free web browsers available for download.

Heartbleed crisis set donations is motion to fix future problems
Heartbleed crisis set donations is motion to fix future problems with OpenSSL
The Heartbleet security patch has been released and applied to most systems and firewalls. But now big Companies are stepping up to help out OpenSSL. OpenSSL is an open source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols. The group of volunteers developers maintain Open SSL admitted that they receive on average $2,000 a year in donation to help out this project. Now that the Heartblled effected so many secure systems, big companies are stepping up by donating millions of dollars to the group to help maintain the open-source code.
The companies that contributed to this cause are Dell, Fujitsu Ltd NetApp Inc, Rackspace Hosting Inc, VMware Inc., Amazon.com Inc, Cisco Systems Inc, Facebook Inc, Google Inc, IBM, Intel Corp and Microsoft Corp.
Now that the openSSL has more founds the Code should be more secure and less vulnerable to future security breaches and attacks. As many of developers and programmers would like to continue to use open source OpenSSL which is correctly free to use.

New Samsung Galaxy S5 Available Now
Cellular Carriers Are Taking Pre-Orders for Samsung Galaxy S5 and will start shipping on April 8 2014 Available Now
If you are like me than you have already Pre-Ordered your phone and just waiting for it to show up in the mail. If you have not than you can Pre-Order from your Carrier or from Samsung.com
Samsung Galaxy S5 Price Tag: $649.99 and 2-Year Contract $199.99
Available in Charcoal Black and White
One thing that we have not seen yet is Samsung Galaxy S5 32GB or even 64GB phones. It appears that at the moment only the 16GB version will be available and time will tell if Samsung will release a 32Gb or 64GB Phones. I personally don’t think that Samsung will be introducing any bigger phones just because Galaxy S5 Supports up to 128GB MicroSD if external memory so do you really need more than 16Gb of internal memory when all your Music, Photos and Videos are stored on external memory card.
There is a chance that Samsung will be releasing their 32GB version sometime later this year, perhaps just in time for Christmas. Previous specs indicated that 16/32GB will be available but as far as we know Samsung will not be releasing it at this time

Comcast and Time Warner Cable TWC merger Deal
Comcast announced that it wants to merge with TWC in a $45.2 Billion deal.
Comcast and Time Warner Cable are currently the two biggest cable and internet providers in United States. Many believe that the merger would eliminate competition when it comes to TV and internet providers as the only other competitor is Verizon. If the two companies merge than the deal could be better for consumers or worse. Comcast Customer satisfaction has fallen over the years and prices have increased. The new deal could rise prices of internet and TV service and that is the biggest worries for current and New customers.
Comcast assures the they will maintain current pricing a service speed but the agreement will expire after certin number of years and Comcast will be able to do what they wish
Time will tell if the deal will hapen or if it is going to be a bust.
