We want to make money.

There I said it.

Don't you want to make money?

I think you probably do. Actually it would probably be more accurate to say that you want to make more money, because I certainly hope that you are at least making a little money.

Okay, so it is safe to assume you've got a little bit of coin in your pocket, but it is not the big money. Not the giant pile of paydirt that you desire, that you feel you deserve. Me neither, but I'm working on it.

This site is meant to be a place for ideas and pointers. Ideas about how to make money.

Ideas, pointers to resources, books, experts, other websites, that can possibly show you (and me) how to earn more money, save more money, MAKE more money, retire rich, own an island, fly first-class... you get the idea.
