			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="wpap_article">Recently, i wrote about the advantages of taking a company public but as you know, whatsoever has an advantage has a corresponding disadvantage. Though you might call them disadvantages, i prefer to call them challenges.</p>
<p>I hope you know that forming a public corporation is the same as taking a company public.</p>
<p>Below are 3 reasons why most entrepreneurs shy away from forming a public corporation or taking their company public.</p>
<p>1.   The management structure in a public corporation is usually decentralized so therefore the managers are in most cases not the business owners. Since they are managers, they may not be motivated towards the company&#8217;s goal and vision as the entrepreneur that created the business.</p>
<p>While the entrepreneur may be driven by the desire to fill a need and build a successful business, the manager may be driven by bonus, incentives, job title, promotion and the salary, not the entrepreneur&#8217;s vision.</p>
<p>2.   Taking a company public is very expensive due to legal fees, meeting up with the demand of government agencies and regulatory bodies and also the cost of undertaking an IPO (Initial Public Offer) adds to the burden.</p>
<p>3.   When you take your company public, you now have to serve three bodies. You will now have to serve your customers, government agencies or regulatory and the investors. This might be too cumbersome or stressful for some entrepreneurs to handle.</p>
<p>4.   Public Corporations are subjected to more legal restrictions than other type of entities.</p>
<p>5.  When you take a company public, your company becomes subjected to stiff accounting rules and principles.</p>
<p>6.   When you form a public corporation, your business affairs and financial statements can&#8217;t be kept secret any longer. It must be published to the public at large.</p>
<p>7.   Public corporations are subjected to heavy corporate tax. They pay both federal and state tax. Public corporations are also subjected to double taxation. They are taxed based on their earnings and the shareholders are taxed based on their dividend.</p>
<p>In conclusion, i want you to also know that public corporations face severe penalties if they go wrong or mis-inform the public, so professionalism and transparency are the rules of the game. However, if you are daring, you might decide to take your company public. It is all part of the challenges of entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>Till i come your way again, keep your entrepreneurial spirit strong.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As mentioned above, I think it would be very possible to earn $2,000/month from <a href="http://www.infobarrel.com/signup.php?ref_id=46925">InfoBarrel</a>. The problem is that I’m actually aiming to earn $10,000/month. Where does the rest $8,000/month came from?</p>
<p>I came up with an idea of affiliate marketing, which is making money from a commission that you earn by selling other people’s products. Most of the time, 99% of the work has already been done for you. Just get people to click on a link and I can make money if they make a purchase — how simple is that! I know that the concept is simple but there’s a LOT to it, indeed.</p>
<p>Now, here comes <a href="http://www.markethealth.com/?aid=230509">MarketHealth</a>.</p>
<p>MarketHealth is the leading performance marketing network of the beauty, health, weight loss and skin care industries. This affiliate network offer great commission and payments promotions. The thing that I like is that MarketHealth offers a 50% per sale initial commission to new affiliates with a potential raise to 60% per sale. (Other programs require a large number of daily generated leads in order to permit increased commission rates.)<span id="more-324"></span></p>
<p>MarketHealth will pay you twice a month, can be made via Paypal or check with a low $20 minimum payout. Commission per sale is 50% and you’ve got 5% 2nd tier commission as well. They provided you with a vast number of marketing options such as banners, individual campaigns, links, branded site and many offers from the merchants themselves. Unfortunately, their products can be categorized as niche products, such as health care, beauty, weight-loss, or skin care related products.</p>
<p>I came across MarketHealth from a friend of mine and already interested to give it a try. Sign up here if you want: <a href="http://www.markethealth.com/?aid=230509">http://www.markethealth.com/?aid=230509</a> (aff). I also tried to Google them and seems that they’ve got positive reviews so far.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, you may asked why writing for InfoBarrel? How can I make money with InfoBarrel?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.infobarrel.com/signup.php?ref_id=46925">InfoBarrel</a> is a great place to start because it’s free. I don’t need any super crazy technical skills. I can get started right away and see results relatively fast. There’s very little setup involved.</p>
<p>A few people were worried if this was still a good strategy after Google sort of dropped this algorithm change on us, but I’m think InfoBarrel was not effected as badly as many of the other sites so it’s still looking good as far as a place to write for. They have a team that looks over the quality of the articles there before they are published.</p>
<p>How this works is you go to their site, and you write an article. The site automatically scatters advertisements onto your article when it’s published, and every time someone clicks those ads you get a share of that income. The advertisements come from Google Adsense, Amazon Associates, and Chitika. (At this moment, I will only focus on Adsense and Amazon. I don’t really understand Chitika at all.)<span id="more-322"></span></p>
<p>The thing that I love is that you can write an article and because it’s published on an established site with lots of authority in Google, you have a relatively much easier time getting your articles ranked and then obtaining traffic from the search engines, and then getting clicks on your ads, as opposed to starting your own blog and writing the same content there.</p>
<p>I tried to run a math here. Assume that in the next 2 months I’m aiming at $2,000/month from InfoBarrel from Adsense and Amazon. From now on, I will work at least 90 minutes work/day to write and publish 3 articles/day. Therefore, in a year (365 days) I will have a collection of 1,095 articles. Wow.</p>
<p>Realistically speaking, if an article earn $15/1,000 views, then to be able to earn $2,000/month I will need 133,500 page views. 133,500 page views divided by 1,095 articles = 4 views/day. I think, I could potentially earn $1,000/month in the next 2 months. (I heard that top writers there earn more than $8,000/month.)</p>
<p>I hope this can be one of the truly passive income streams out there because there is no upkeep or maintenance involved. Still, the most difficult part is to write articles that contain information people are looking for -– specifically writing about terms people are typing into Google — but aren’t too competitive already either.</p>
<p>Sign up here if you want to give <a href="http://www.infobarrel.com/signup.php?ref_id=46925">InfoBarrel</a> a try.</p>

Information Technology Project Management, Sixth Edition offers the &#8220;behind-the-scene&#8221; aspect of technology.

Information Technology Project Management, Sixth Edition, is still the only textbook to apply all nine project management knowledge areas&#8211;project integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resource, communications, risk, and procurement management&#8211;and all five process groups&#8211;initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing&#8211;to information technology projects.
