For Bill O'Reilly, The Real Tiller Killer: It Is Always About Making Money

Like his mini me, Michelle Malkin, Bill O'Reilly is all about making money. Whether it be with fictionalized accounts of his life, billed as "real." The man has made millions pushed hate. And Know in the Gagasphere he goes after Jon Steward for calling Fox News Liberal. It is the height of raunchiness that has make him all that money!!!

Did You Ever Think Why Michelle Malkin Hates Michelle Obama? It's The Money!!!

Michelle Malkin is at it again. She goes after all the Presidents...women? In this case, she write, a book about the Obamas, leaving out one important thing: fact checking. It's about making money off the Obamas, I think so. Michelle Malkin has enough haters following her now that they just love hearing more and more about Michelle Obama. So, it's a wonder that Mrs. Malkin is often labeling her views of Michelle Obama as: Michelle V.S. Michelle. Again it comes down to: Were is the evidence that Mrs. Obama really cares. None!! But it brings people to Malkin's site, and that is where hate turns to making money!!!

SNAIL JOURNALISM AND SNAIL MAIL NO LONGER A MONEY MAKER:

The Rocky Mountain News could no longer make money. It died on February 27 2009. The U. S. Postal Service is hoping to early retire 150,000 workers to save money. Why? The Internet. The economy, the unemployment, but mainly the Internet.
For nearly 150 years the Rocky Mountain News has cranked out hundreds of thousands of dead trees, pulled out 4 Pulitzer Prizes, and in the end lost money, and made 230 people gainfully unemployed.

For over 234 years, the Postal service has delivered mail through out the United States and the rest of the world, but in the end is not making money. This year alone, the Postal service has lost about 2.8 billion dollars.

Is snail Journalism dead? Is snail mail dead? Not entirely. Even Fedex which had been steadily making money for the last few years, reported a 75% drop in profits shares. Why is all this important? Why is the New York times, and now Seattle Post-Intelligencer going the way of the Internet? Again it is the Internet, the economy and unemployment, but I think mainly the Internet. Do you really have to have the snail mail delivery your cell phone bill? You can use a pay system on your bank website. How your cable bill, your credit card bills, or your mortgage.
How about love letters or the the way sons and daughters send money to their family? Through the mail? With Moneygram and Western Union online now?

With economy still tanking, and unemployment heading toward 9 % nationally, it is in the interest of major newspapers and the Federally run postal service to rely on the Internet to make money.

I thought I would just point that out.

And, as I thought about this, it occurred to me that one way people are making money online now is email marketing.
But be warned Spam need not apply here. Direct marketing Association reports that email based marketing will get you $43.52 dollars in return investment. And, although down from last year, companies are still making money from email marketing.


WHO IS MAKING THE MONEY?


According to Merkle database marketing agency, the the winners this year is Permission email. Merkle estimates that 55% promotional email is never even opened. This is a dilemma. But only for for those marketeers so desperate to make money. Clearly the winners are those companies that know who they are marketing to. It is knowing the customer, not the random crap that you get in email that makes the real money.

Obamaton Or Just Wanna Make Money?

Apparently, I am a Obamaton. And I thought I was on blogspot trying to make money.(Sadly this is something that has not yet happened, no surprise.)

Okay, before I get into the subject of making money online,which is the exact reason I am here, let's digress to a definition: From the Urban dictionary:

"fan" (Note: Fans =/= Supporters) who is in such a state of being because of Obama's eloquence; one who hasn't even bothered to fairly compare his platform with other candidates' platforms. Pun on the word "automaton".

This was actually posted on the Urban Dictionary site on February 4, by Johnathan Andrew.It appears to be a rather new term haunting cyberspace. Yet, I had found it hilarious. Not only because someone thought I was one of THEM, but also because the term has it's place in this society.

Here is what happened. Just like any body trying to make money online, I was doing my daily backlink building. I came across a interesting article. I posted a comment here:

#http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/2009/03/views-on-the-news-2282009/#

Now, I tend to write long posts. This one was, perhaps, a bit too one sided? Whatever the case, I ended up getting dumped on. The article,Views on the News by a very talented conservative writer, was a long affair. In some cases, well argued. However, I thought it was inevitable colored with way too many stereo-types and sound bites that conservatives often use to place blame on others(meaning liberals), thus making them impervious to any concept of objectivity. Now, I am objective enough to say that liberals have taken on this curious and poor argument style of rationalization. However, this is my opinion, and I wish for you look at the article yourself.

So here I am trying to build my pathetic little money thing, when I crossed swords with fellow posters. I made what I thought was a valid argument. After all, the Stimulus bill was basically an attempt to put money in the hands of the average American. Well? maybe. The jury is still out on that one. The author of this piece insinuates that the markets "going south" as he puts it, is totally the fault of this president. Mmm, maybe? Or maybe it's because we are in a Recession. Here is a snippet from my post:

And talking about the Stock market? I mean, sorry man, liberal or conservative, this argument really does not seem credible. I mean, are we to live and die by this market? The Dow Jones in Dec 2007 to Jan. 21,2009 when Obama became president,already shed about 5,000 to 6,000 points. Unless somehow you are able to blame him for that? I mean I am not exactly a liberal, but I am willing to put whole blame on either Bush or Obama.

Now I thought that was a pretty lucid argument to make. No, I guess not. I forgot one thing about human nature. If your views are so strong in opposition, nothing one says can be ever construed as a valid argument.

This is what I got in response;

Your lack of knowledge of how markets like the stock market work is evident and you are, in my opinion, an Obamaton trying desperately to make it sound like you are not an Obamaton trying to make excuses for markets that are heading south because of Obama’s long term policy plans.

Is this the end of the moderate view point? Must I be pigeon-holed. All they had to do was click on my site and see I was trying to make money online(all be it naively so).

Okay, let's regroup. My "babbling" is well defined and I am totally owned by someone that 1) clearly does not have any moderate and compromising views on politics, and 2) So desperate to find an enemy to latch on to they most coin words to put them in their place.

Classification: Obamaton.

What is lost here?

I am not a student of history, but it safe to say that politics in this country has been deeply poisoned by such lack of moderate communication. Having said that, I see a deeper dilemma. A nation that is suffering from a very deep recession, two wars, and sinking employment rate, I see this inability to compromise in tone as a schism that will tear American apart. When, it seems to me we need unity more than ever. Art of compromise, dead? Let us hope not.

Just another way of making money?







At first glance, Xomba is not much to look at. Well, ugly really. And I have mixed feelings about presenting this website. Mixed because I am still experimenting with it. And yes trying to promote it at the same time so I can make money online. Strange sort of bipolar attitude I have. Any, I present it too you because it does give advice for newbies like myself. Here is just a clip of what they consider themselves to be.



Launched in August 2006, Xomba's mission is to create a thriving community of members who earn profit from posting articles(Xombytes) and social bookmarks(Xomblurbs). Combining key elements from social networking sites, weblogs and contextual targeted advertising we have created a community that is a nurturing environment for anyone willing to post and share their own ideas. It is our hope that our members will develop into successful contributors to the publishing industry.


You believe this? Could they make you money online? There is so much spam on that site it makes my old computer huccup. It's sort of annoying. It is up to you to decide. It does provide you a place to store backlinks(bookmarks) and small blogs to further sites you are working on or write your knowledge up in a tight blog. You can add it into your adsense and make money that way. They also provide a weird Twitterish messaging with other people. There is another reason I bring this site up. Don't be fooled by it's simple-looking homepage. It's net worth is over 700,000. The site pulls in over 9oo USD a day. So it is worth looking at what Xomba is doing, just to get your own ideas on how to make money online.

Bust Or Boon: Comparative Study Of Unemployment Compensation

Sounds like a dissertation paper and long winded one at that. It is not so. I simply wish to stress how important it is for those of you that are on Unemployment Compensation to do some homework. Or just read on and I will offer up a few things to think of.
When it comes to Unemployment Compensation, the place you live can be a bust or boon.

Take Massachusetts, 2007 and 2008 saw a steady migration of the out-of-State unemployed coming to Massachusetts to apply for Unemployment Compensation. And why? $778. That is the max that can be taken out per week when claiming your weekly benefits. Look at the max that Florida has. $275 can be claimed per week. It matters not how much you made before you were unemployed. You could have been pulling $800 a week, you still get max of $275. And this this Florida! Is there any wonder that this State is hemorrhaging mortgages?

Unfortunately for anyone considering hitting the road to Massachusetts, the State already suffering from 5.5% unemployment in October, saw it rise to 5.9% in November, will no longer take out-of-State claims. Sorry. But I see it as totally impossible to get by with Mickey Mouse math that Florida uses. A basic one bed-room apartment on the down end in Florida usually runs about $650.00/month.(I know this because I lived there) Good luck if you are thrust into unemployment there.

The Good thing About Unemployment Compensation.

Well, I think the only thing good about Unemployment Compensation is not actually being on it. However, there is one good thing. Normally, the average length of benefits is about 26 weeks. It varies from State to State. However, our present rather dire times created something interesting. On November 21, 2008. President George Bush signed the the Unemployment Extension Act of 2008. For those of you confused about this, here is what it means: you get a extension of another 7 additional weeks of coverage plus if your State is at 6.0% Unemployment you get an extra 13 weeks. So make sure you look at the State in which you are claiming.

A Parting Shot

I sincerely believe that unemployment is becoming a political football that could divide us. I have been reading blogs that seem to be passing judgment on something that has not even been implemented yet. That is the President-elect Obama's economic stimulus plan. Of course, it looks like a true juggernaut. Estimates are at $775 billion! Seems daunting, but so does a unemployment rate of 8 or 9 percent. It may end up that it will go far into the “T” range: 1 Trillion!

This has caused quite a number of groans and grumblings from bloggers. Notably, those that are
using this plan as way to criticizes the in coming president. It's scope has been compared to FDR'S New Deal. Bloggers and pundits were all over that. Many, apparently who never actually studied history, complained that it was world war II that solved the Great Depression; thereby trashing FDR and Obama all at once. However, look at the unemployment rate in 1933. It was at an astronomical 24.9 % But by 1940, it was cut in half to 14.6.% Eventually FDR's plan could have worked.(That is me speculating). World War II had just quickened the process out of the depression. So you see, these poorly thought out blogs, put together quickly to turn heads, to justify a political point given with generalizations that Americans are so use to, only lowers us all. What bothers me is this:
Why make such a heart rending subject as unemployment a political hot object? Could it be that what we are seeing is a war between those the never been unemployed and those that have been and remain unemployed?
I think the Great Depression and even to a much larger extent, WWII , had brought Americans together. Yet, bloggers,who are so use to division can not help split us apart with empty self-righteous words. Until next time.
Take care,
