7 Million Millionaires

That is the estimated total of millionaires in the world. Do you know that there were only 5,000 millionaires 100 years ago. America today has 5 million millionaires. That means you are most likely to be a millionaire in America.

Why the increase?

Why so many in America?

I think the answer for both can be found in situations:

Real estate laws in America

The development of the internet business in America

Real estate

In America we always had creative ways to buy and sell property. You’ve seen some of those infomercial in America and those ‘no money down’ books. People who bought and invested in real estate for 100 years constituted the largest portion of self-made millionaires in America.
In other countries, it has always been hard to get a loan. Even today, many nations like Ecuador, Russia and elsewhere it’s very hard to get a mortgage. Therefore, you can wheel-and-deal.

Internet Business

With the advent of the internet more and more people are becoming millionaires. If you have noticed, America has taken the lead in producing programs whereby you can make a million dollars.

With a computer and an internet connection, you can reach billions of people all over the world. With a credit card or a PayPal system you can buy from anyone anywhere in the world.
With the serious economic downturn you and with loans being harder to get in ameirca and the world over, it’s harder to make money.

There’s a say that goes like this:

Birds got to fly. Fish got to swim. And bubbles got to burst.And that is what we see in the housing bubble now - especially in the US and the UK.

Only the very sharp and clever people can make money in real estate now. So, unless you are one of them, I wouldn’t look for real estate to invest in.

The internet has more potential now than ever.
Take a look at what I have here for your consideration .

Watch 48Things Website

Internet Scams

Dear Friend,

Although this is not an internet scam it is a misleading site that I’ll
be reporting on today.

That’s site is called 43things.com

It’s about a website where people can posts their goals and encourages
others to do so. They have topics that you can post under, such as
relationships, health and business. You can ‘cheer on’ others in the
goals and in their accomplishments.

Sounds good, right?

I also learned about it and I read that it’s a good place to get
traffic.

Well such is not the case.

Before I found out I signed up (it’s free) and posted a blog. The goal
was titled, ‘To make $1,000 a day by the 30th day.’

The next day I check my email and found one from 43Things.com. I was
told that the post violated their rules, one of which is
commercializing.

Really?

Firstly, why don’t they tell you in the first place before posting?
Secondly, how in the hell can you have financial and money goals
without talking about money?

I didn’t even write about anything that showed I was selling something.
All I posted was my goal of making a certain amount of money in a
certain amount of time. I used the ‘dollar sign’ in my post, of course. Aaah haaa!

That’s the big sin.

They have non-intelligent software as you know that does searches for
certain words (or in this case, symbols). It’s like the software that
looks for words such as, ‘free’ or ‘Viagra’ and classifies them as
spam.

This must be the case with this, as I was not promoting anything. Another things wrong with 43Things is ‘What’s wrong with making money
or promoting something?’

There are other sites, including free sites, such as Blogger and Word
Press where you can make money.

Well, we’ll let the market decide. In could be in a short time that
this site (43Things) will be replaced by a similar site that allows
people to put things up like ‘Adsense, Adword, affiliate programs’ etc.Then 43Things will wonder why they went bankrupts. Ha, ha.

Another Interesting Point

This site, 43Things claims that they are a community of ‘helping one
another’. Well, they do, provided if it’s a nice ‘feel fluffy’ sort of
feeling. For in the email I got from them (where I learned about the
other ‘not allowed’ rules) is not goals can be posted that will harm
the person.

Now, what if someone was to post something that says there goal is to
lose 10 pounds in one week. That could be dangerous for him/her. By not
allowing such a post, this person will do it anyway in the privacy of
their own home.

Without anyone being able to comment to her post and tell her it could
be dangerous, how in the hell can this be a helpful community? You
can’t help others if you don’t allow certain posts.

Even if someone is suicidal. Firstly, this is not a goal, so it would
most probably not be posted there. Secondly, even if it was posted,
that person is ‘crying out’ and others will be there to write to that
person.

Perhaps the person who owns this website thinks that such a person
should seek medical, psychological counseling.

Oh, God forbid what a ‘politically incorrect’ thing we do by giving our
advice. What in the hell does this person think happened throughout
history before these so-called experts came along?

Thus, the people who need help and support the most are not allowed to
post.

As far as the ‘money making’ or ‘financial’ goals, you’ll get no help
from 43Things. You will not be able to sell them anything – as if that
was a big ‘sin’.

It’s only a matter of time before someone will come along and make a
huge community site where people can make money.
