Get Rich and Stay Warm This Winter!

A Unique Business Makes Money No Matter What Happens to Price of Oil

7:11 AM

Dear Entrepreneur:

A check was made out to me for $12,314! 

I stared at the stupid thing for almost a minute.

This was my second check in this silly business.

Now….don’t call the “authorities” claiming I promised you instant riches with absolutely no risk whatsoever.

Come on…..that’s not honest.

There is MAJOR RISK involved in this market and business.

But there are ways to protect yourself, or even get involved on a small scale, and this should help you reduce the risk.

What’s more…..

There are ways to approach this market and business that’ll give you an “edge”.

One “edge” is to know the market by researching and studying it like a professional, not a weekend gambler or football junkie.

I’ll show you how reduce your risk (and in some cases eliminate it) and make money at the same time.

But first it’s important to realize this market is highly leveraged.

That means you can put up a little money in the form of “margin” and leverage or parlay this amount into big gains.

In fact, the futures market is the highest leveraged market in the world…period!

And don’t kid yourself….

You could lose your initial investment in this market and MORE!

So….study, research and learn from savvy professionals.

The market and business I’m showing you today is heating oil futures.

So let’s get started………

There are two basic groups of people in this market:

·        First Group:

Large professional traders, money managers, mutual funds and institutions (like banks, oil companies and insurance companies)

·        Second Group:

Small speculators, traders, investors and beginners

One challenge in this market is to understand how it moves. 

But there’s a closely guarded money making secret I’ll share with now.

Everyone has access to the same information, statistics, charts, and advice.

But novice traders and investors will trade anything that moves. 

As soon as a stock, currency, commodity, or real estate property moves to a new high, everyone wants to buy it!

What’s more, novice traders jump from one market to another seeking the next “big” deal.

I knew a wildly successful futures trader when I started in this business. He said something I’ll never forget:

“You could lose several fortunes if you don’t focus on a specific market”

In other words, when it comes to trading futures (or anything for that matter) it’s better to focus on the nuances of the market you are trading.

Most new traders do NOT take the time to gain an understanding of each commodity market.

New traders don’t take the time to watch how it moves, trading ranges, cycles, or seasonal changes.

Novice traders don’t have a clue where the “Big money” is in a market (these guys control large sums of cash…think hundreds of million or billions).

And that’s not all……

The heating oil market is super easy to learn!

For example, let’s say you expected heating oil prices to rise during the winter months (which it often does but it’s tricky).

Let’s say that you purchased one March heating oil contract “at the market” (this means at the current prevailing market price) at 2.05.

Your expectations proved correct and the heating oil market moves up to 2.65 over the next few weeks. 

Now you decide to sell one March heating oil futures contract “at the market” and grab in your profit.

A heating oil contract on the NYMEX exchange consists of 42,000 gallons. 

When you opened the trade and bought one heating oil contract it was worth $86,100 (2.05 x 42,000 gallons = $86,100).  

A couple of weeks later when you sold this contract “at the market,” it would hypothetically be worth $111,300. 

In this example you would have made a profit of $25,200 (less commissions and fees).

That’s a lot of money for most people including me.

But for some people $25,000 is chump change!

Some of the traders, money managers and companies who participate in the heating oil futures market trade hundreds of contracts. 

In this example, if you traded 100 contracts on this same pricing move it would have meant 100 x $25,000 or $2.5 million!

Let’s come back to planet earth…..

In order to trade a heating oil futures contract you’ll need to make a deposit – this is referred to as margin. 

The required margin fluctuates daily - but for heating oil it’s currently around $1,000.

Heating Oil “Cheat” Sheet

Heating oil is a flammable liquid petroleum product normally used to fuel furnaces and boilers.

It’s similar to diesel fuel. Both of them are referred to as distillates. 

Heating oil is also known throughout North America as No. 2 heating oil. The market receives a lot attention every winter.

In finance, a futures contract is a standardized contract, traded on a regulated futures exchange. 

This is the easy part….

A contract is an agreement to buy or sell an underlying commodity at a certain date in the future, at a specific price. 

The future date is called the delivery date or final settlement date. 

The pre-set price is called the futures price. The price of the underlying asset (in this case heating oil) on the delivery date is called the settlement price.

A futures contract gives the holder the obligation to buy or sell. 

This differs from an options contract, which gives the holder the right, but not the obligation. 

Options are an entirely different market, but they are another way to greatly reduce your risk.

I’ll cover some interesting option opportunities in the weeks ahead.

An important thing about futures contracts…

Both parties of a "futures contract" must fulfill the contract on the settlement date.

The seller delivers the commodity to the buyer. 

Or, if it is a cash-settled future, then the futures trader who sustained a loss transfers cash to the one who made a profit. 

To exit a commitment prior to the settlement date, the holder of a futures position has to offset his position by either selling a long position or buying back a short position, effectively closing out the futures position and its contract obligations. 

The majority of futures contracts are exited before the settlement date. 

Most traders in the heating oil futures market have no intention of taking physical delivery of the commodity.  This is a major point.

The only companies interested in taking a physical delivery of heating oil are those involved the heating oil business.

You can watch heating oil futures prices on all of the major financial news networks, such as Bloomberg, CNBC, Fox Business, BBC, and others. 

You can also track heating oil futures on the top financial websites, such as Google Finance, Bloomberg.com, CBOT.com, FT.com, Yahoo! Finance and others.

How to Make Money with Heating Oil Futures 

One of the best ways to make money by trading heating oil futures is to avoid losing money.

This isn’t a play on words or a tricky trading rule!

In my experience avoiding losses has been a very big deal. You could become very rich over time if learn HOW to avoid losses and let your winning trades run wild.

As I showed you earlier, the heating oil futures market is easy to understand and even easier to trade. 

However, just because winter is around the corner and temperatures are expected to reach historic lows (rumors) this doesn’t mean the price of heating oil futures will rise.

In other words, it takes a little effort and research to understand how the heating oil market works. 

We need to understand the “ebb and flow” of the market. 

Historical price charts are a great way to do this!

Top 10 Ways to Ensure Fitness this Summer

Top 10 Ways to Ensure Fitness this Summer

Staying fit is essential if we want to live a long, healthy, lively life free from physical stress. Although staying fit requires sacrifice and may be challenging at times, a sustainable balanced diet plan and a sufficient amount of daily exercise is all you need to incorporate into your daily routine to keep yourself in good shape. Summer especially, is the perfect time to dedicate yourself to a healthy lifestyle. This article will guide you in how to use your time in an optimal manner ensuring a fit and shaped up new you!

1. Get dedicated!

Remember that before you get started, it’s important to make yourself committed to achieving your fitness goal. Don’t lose hope if you don’t see any change soon. Real and sustainable fitness requires a well planed target to be achieved over a course of time. Results don’t appear like magic and if they do, then you’re on the wrong track. Remember, losing weight and becoming fit are two different things. Staying fit means that not only are you in good shape, but you build up good stamina and physical strength.  You may be a bit heavy, yet fit and that is perfectly fine because muscles weigh more than normal body fat. Thus, be sure to not give up and follow healthy means to achieve your target.

2. Start with stretches

People often get exercising with fast and tiring techniques and then complain about an aching body that lasts for many days. Don’t be one of them. If you are inactive, then slight aches are acceptable and normal when you get exercising, but in order to minimize such discomfort, it is important to being your exercise with a good warm up. Stretch your entire body so that your muscles get used to new adjustments before you begin the intense workouts. This way, your body will not damage and injuries will minimize.

3. Get Real

It’s normal to get enthusiastic about getting fit and here’s where the overconfidence walks in. People, who plan out their workouts, jot down such intense exercise routines that once they get started, they become impossible to maintain. This not only leads to demotivation but retreat from any fitness routine at all. Therefore, it is important to lay out realistic goals. The duration time or intensiveness can increase over time if you feel you are doing well. Gradually, you will start to see and feel changes in your body.

4. Hit the Gym

A gym is the perfect place to work out. With a range of machines and fitness activities, you are able to work out all parts of your body from your legs to your hips and your biceps and triceps. You can even develop six pack abs by doing 30 crunches twice a day. Once you’re at the gym, let your body explore the many opportunities of good work out to tone the desirable parts of your body.

5. Do Cardiovascular Exercises

Cardiovascular exercise is any exercise that raises your heart rate. Our heart is a muscle and therefore the more we work it, the stronger it gets. This leads to a strong cardiovascular system able to deliver oxygen cells more efficiently. These exercises can be done easily without the use of equipment. The more intense working out, the better.

6. Get a pedometer

Sometimes our schedule is so tightly packed, that we are unable to allocate specific time for a properly focused workout. Don’t worry! Try to compensate with getting more active with the other stuff you have to get done. For example, walk rather than driving to a location or move fast with your dog when you take it out for a walk. Get a pedometer to help keep measure of your steps. Around 10,000 steps a day are considered ideal for a healthy and active body.

7. Eat Healthy

Keep nutritious and vitamin enriched food a consistent part of your diet. Replace sugary drinks with water and move away from creamy deserts to natural sugar enriched fruits. Avoid greasy and oily meals with lighter ones and incorporate green vegetables daily in your diet as well as protein for muscle repair. Do not eat when you are not really hungry or just to pass time. Also, take in small proportions at a time. The more you eat, the more your stomach capacity grows and your belly bulges outward. Therefore, eat more often but in smaller portions.

8. Keep Moving

People working in offices or computer related work end up spending a lot of time on a chair in one position. This can lead to a risk of chronic back pain. Try to move around every 30 minutes to avoid bad posture problems. Don’t be afraid to twitch! Small movements like turning your neck or wrists or moving your arms or legs while talking on the phone can actually lead to a better metabolism and weight control, as studies have shown.

9. Cultivate Outdoor Hobbies

Even if exercising is not your thing, you may still like outdoor games such as sports or even just throwing a Frisbee around with your dog. Try to increase the amount of time you spend in such activities rather than throwing away a greater proportion of your time in computer related ones.

10. Keep Track

Make sure you adhere to a planned target of how to achieve your desirable fitness over the summer. Do keep check of how much you have done and how much you still need to try. Also, ensure that you are doing enough to achieve physical fitness over the summer. If not, bring it up a notch. Once you see change, it will motivate you to sustain it by incorporating time for fitness even when summer is over.

Stay on Top of Sending Your Article Reprints Where Im Published This Month

So I wrote a couple of Mothers Day pieces. One on Mothers Day dilemmas and how to solve them and one on Mothers Day traditions. They did pretty well the first year then I let them rot. I am not the most organized person in the world but I try. Life gets going and I forget to send my articles out and often wish I had an assistant who could get in my face and tell me to send articles annually when they are wanted.

***Hmmm, I finally sucked it up and got a smartphone ... Im thinking I could grab all my article titles (there are over 75 at this point) and figure out when best to send them. At least the holiday-specific and back-to-school ones. I could plug them in my calendar somehow to remind me to send them out.

Anyway ... this year I grabbed the Mothers Day articles from my hard drive and sent each one out separately to all my contacts that are in my book since I was updating the book anyway. That one little action made me at least $250.

For two pieces I wrote years ago.

All I did was mass submit them. Not one at a time emailing, friend. Like blind carbon copy.

Some publications wrote me back and let me know they wanted to use my piece and what they would pay. Some I found while checking my name on issuu.com or Googling the article name. Some emailed me after they used it and let me know they were sending a check.

Where do I write? You want proof? Okey dokey. Palm Beach Parenting, San Diego Family, Calgarys Child, Central Penn Parent, Valley Parent Georgia, Western New York Family. Thats just this month that I know about.

Yes, I am telling you to buy my book. I make money using it 6 years later. I could be making a lot more money using it if I didnt have so many other things going on in my life. And dont think for a second that I take up all the space in these magazines. They needs tons of pieces every month and are dying for good content. There is success for all of us. Money for all of us. A writing career for all of us, writer friend!

Heres the book! You gotta get it and tell your friends! I make the same royalty whether you get the print or ebook version and I recommend the print version so you can mark it up and make changes to it.

Dear Entrepreneur:

The check was made out to me for $12,314! 

I stared at the stupid thing for almost a minute.

But there are ways to protect yourself, or even get involved on a small scale, and this should help you reduce the risk.

One “edge” is to know the market by researching and studying it like a professional, not a weekend gambler or football junkie.

I’ll show you how reduce your risk (and in some cases eliminate it) and make money at the same time.

But first it’s important to realize this market is highly leveraged.

That means you can put up a little money in the form of “margin” and leverage or parlay this amount into big gains.

Do You Make 100 Per Day I Did This Week!

I found this piece in my email inbox to be very interesting. It talks about how you can make an EXTRA $100 per day over the $100 per day you are already making, doing blogging jobs, etc.

To some, that sounds like an impossible amount working from home part-time.

I realized I made $100 per day this week, BUT that included $60 for babysitting!

How could I make MORE without spending a ton of extra time? Well, Im going to check out the piece I sent you to and apply some places and see what happens. Im going to do that national query for a magazine finally.

Check out my June income and sources here (also has links to May and April), then come back soon to see Julys numbers, which are much higher than Junes somehow.

My trick is going to be keeping it up when homeschooling starts with a vengeance in September.

How much do you want to make per day, 5 days a week? What would get you out of debt, pay your grocery bill, help you live your dreams of travel, relaxation, retirement, anything?

You can find the 5th edition of my ebook Make Money to Write About Your Kids at Payloadz now! When that link runs dry, that means its over exclusively at Amazon on Kindle (but you can also get it on your computer via the Cloud Reader if you, like me, dont have a Kindle or just want to print it out!).

P.S. Im working on getting out this edition to all previous buyers for free; in the meantime, feel free to email me if you dont have it yet and want it! And I always love your feedback and reviews!

Is This All The Money You Want To Make

I signed up on some general freelance sites to do some quick online work for money. I have worked for Contently.com in the past and the pay was terrific by my standards ($97 via PayPal pretty fast for a 300-word travel piece, for example).

But this site is ridiculous ... I have removed some of the information from the email I got, but when I saw the pay rates I felt sorry for those of you who are writing this stuff. I know someone has to do it and all that.

Im sure those who write the $1000 pieces for national parenting magazines think I am settling by writing $50 pieces for regionals, but it is real money that just keeps coming in. And lets not forget I get 10 cents a word for original pieces that I then resell for hundreds of dollars more over the course or time. It would take me a long time to write a bunch of 200-word pieces and then only make $50 in the end.

What do you think?

"We have a new high volume project were working on, which is particularly promising for writers looking for long term projects to get involved with.

The project is for short form (100 - 250 words), creative/witty, apartment complex descriptions in the following cities: xxxxxx. These descriptions are not sales pitches, and dont have any keyword requirements. Theyre meant to highlight the positive features of the complex/surroundings, but be honest about short comings (i.e. building management is not helpful, steep pet fees, or far from pubic transportation,etc.). Familiarity of the areas is very helpful, as the pieces are meant to be highly localized (offering tips about the great restaurant down the block, and all the neighborhoods best features), but much of the info can be found on yelp reviews.

We have two tiers of descriptions ones that range closer to 200-250, and ones that are closer to 70-115 words. These pay $5 and $2.5 a piece respectively. Well be batching them in groups of 10, so each job pays $50 or $25. Well also be adding editors to this project, so the strongest writers will be offered editor positions as well. Please update me if youre interested in learning more about that role.

We have 450 descriptions (totaling 45 jobs in Scripted), still in need of writers for the xxxregions. New York pieces will be submitted early next week (and due later). The deadline for the existing pieces is Monday 3/25 by end of business."

This Event Could Make You Very Rich Part 1 by Marc Charles

This Event Could Make You Very Rich

5:06 AM

Dear Entrepreneur:

I confess. I’m impressed.

And this doesn’t happen often.

Heck….this year I reviewed more than 96 business proposals, executive summaries, plans and marketing ideas.

On top of that, I reviewed about a dozen plans free of charge to help young entrepreneurs.

But when I tested the opportunities around a new publishing platform, and made sales on it….I started to get very excited….and I couldn’t wait to tell you about it.

What’s more, I saw some problems first hand, addressed them, and I worked out some bugs. 

Here’s what I’m talking about….

Amazon Direct Publishing is the most impressive publishing platform I’ve seen in my business career.

The platform is designed to publishing e-books quickly and easily for Amazon’s product the Kindle and Kindle Fire.

The publishing platform has a bunch of new features, neat apps and a super easy interface.
But it has thing over all of the competition….


It has an audience of active, instant buyers!
It’s not Clickbank.

Clickbank is an entirely different animal, platform and strategy.

Amazon Direct Publishing is like Walmart.

Clickbank is like Bloomingdales.

I don’t mean in terms of quality….or to downgrade Walmart.

Amazon.com simply reaches a HUGE mainstream audience.

Bloomingdale’s on the other hand reaches a targeted audience of higher net worth individuals (generally speaking).

Granted, Amazon.com buyers are looking for deals (just like at Walmart) five star customer service and super easy refunds.

But Amazon.com buyers spend money quickly when they see what they want.

In addition…..there are millions of “niche” book and content buyers on Amazon.
Granted, the profit margins on Clickbank are huge when compared to Amazon.com.

But you can publish books and content to Amazon and modify, change and edit it instantly.
On Amazon you don’t have to worry about landing pages, complicated apps, ecommerce, customer service, affiliates or even programming.

On top of that, you can cut corners with products on Clickbank. You can’t do this as much on Amazon, whatever you publish needs to “look” professional. This is especially true when it comes to editing, grammar and e-book cover art. If your product looks unprofessional it won’t sell.

Three of the most important things about selling e-books on Amazon.com:

1.    In-demand content (well written)

2.    E-book cover art (look professional without the cost)

3.    Category selection (help buyers find it quick)

I’ll get into specifics in a second. But I wanted to get right into the meat of this opportunity.
You can make money with Amazon Direct Publishing IF you follow a few simple guidelines.


Marc’s KDP Cheat Sheet

Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is a self-publishing platform.

You can self-publish your books and put them into the Amazon Kindle Store.
The best part is its fast, free and super easy.

The books self-published on the KDP platform can participate in the 70% royalty program. This means you as the author or publisher receive 70% of gross sales. That’s an incredibly high percentage.

If you publish a book through the old world print method authors often receive less than 10%!
Of course, that’s IF you’re lucky enough to get a publishing deal.

What’s more, old world book publishing is like a dinosaur. It takes up to 9 months to get a book from the initial draft to the bookshelves!

But even when a book is lucky enough to get on a bookshelf it will be discounted almost immediately.

The Most Powerful Publishing Event in 200 Years!

The most powerful publishing event is the “cloud”.

It means when you publish something it is available on multiple devices and locations simultaneously.

In other words, the “cloud” follows users and readers wherever they go!

And so, when you publish books on Amazon’s KDP platform it is available for purchase on Kindle devices, iPhone, iPod touch, PC, Mac, Blackberry, Android devices and even Kindle Apps for iPad!

On top of that, you can self-publish books in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian with ONE CLICK of the mouse.

And that’s not all….

You can sell your books in US Dollars, Pounds Sterling, and Euros.

But as I said….one of the most powerful aspects of this opportunity is gaining access to an eager, loyal buying audience.

Amazon.com has the most loyal followers and readers than any website, company or platform in the world.
This is going to change book publishing in a BIG way.

In addition, if you don’t have a book, or you’re not an author, don’t sweat it!

You can obtain millions of books in the public domain, sell them as is, or reformat and rewrite them….and sell them!

Action Plan

Visit Amazon Direct Publishing and sign up for an account. It’s fast, easy and free.

Lock yourself in a secluded room without distractions and devour the FAQs.

Then, go to the Kindle Store to see what’s selling right now.

The biggest mistake a self-published author usually makes is writing a book no one wants (but is dear to his or her heart). There’s nothing wrong with writing about things which are near and dear to your heart. But if you want books to SELL you need to write “into the demand”.
