There is a big difference between working hard and working smart. Try to look at some examples seen in the real world. Do you not think that fry cooks and dishwashers are also working hard? Do you not also think the same of construction workers, bulldozer operators, and delivery boys?

Yes, the work they do is physical and can be really tiring. But ask yourself again, how many of them actually live a luxurious life in return for their hard work? Well yes, they are managing ends meet and are paying their utility bills just fine, but do they compare to executives, managers, and CEOs?

Now this brings you to these next classes of workers. When observing them, you cannot help but think that the big guns of international conglomerates and big companies are living a life of ease right? They just seem to have everything from the latest gadgets to the most luxurious car models.

So why is there such a huge gap in the financial standing of these two groups of people? The answer is how they work. This spells the difference between working hard and working smart.

Going back to the construction workers, bus drivers, delivery boys, fry cooks, they are simply doing a pre-set series of tasks. They are not really making decisions. But they are simply working hard.

After all, no matter what the weather is, whether the economy goes up or down, the procedure of mopping, cooking, digging, or delivering will have little changes. It is a physically tiring job that requires little decision-making or smart thinking.

On the other hand, CEOs, managers, and executives are always making complex decisions, doing deals, finding new ideas for profit, and the like. Simply put, their work involves working smart, not hard.

In internet marketing, this is the most ideal way of working. In fact, it should be the only way you should do things. Working hard in internet marketing will not yield you cash or income. What will make you earn is working smart.

For example, it will not matter how many long hours you stay on your computer working hard to put up your site, adding contents, or any other task. Even if you tire yourself down in doing this, you will not earn cash.

Instead, you have to do things in a smart way. This is the only way that your internet business will boom.

Now to better illustrate how working hard will not yield you cash in internet marking unless you do it in a smart way, you should learn more about the misconceptions in the relationship between work and pay.

When we talk about free radicals, you must see them as the good guys who are produced by our bodies and antioxidants as the salvation to your bodies that come from outside.

Free radicals are something that we all produce in our daily living. Free radicals are formed from the cells when our body produces energy. They are formed when we eat, live, breathe, do the daily chores or go to a job. When we live our lives, our cell in our bodies are introduced to different toxins.

Stress is a big factor in our society. Stress is being amplified through your job, lack of sleep, bad eating habits (lack of nutrients), etc. Consequently, this creates more free radical damage to our bodies because your body needs more energy to compete with the stress factors.

But there is a salvation that is called the antioxidants.

Antioxidants protect the cells from the damage of the free radicals and therefore you should get as much antioxidants to your body as possible especially when your daily routines are not that healthy. However, we all have choices to make and some of us live healthier lives than others.

It's been under discussion if you get enough antioxidants from your daily menu and the general consensus seems to be leaning towards a direction where the opinion is that regular food does not contain enough vitamins and antioxidants to keep our bodies healthy from the attack of the free radicals.

Did you know that if you're just generally consuming some health products that say they have a lot of antioxidants, you're not going to get healthy with them? Why? It's very simple and the reason is this: these antioxidants have only one shot to go into the cells and “give them a good treatment”. Thus, it's important that you get quality products that really deliver what they promise. Liquid form is the best because your body can consume it much faster.

There are quite many antioxidant rich fruits that deliver a whole pack of vitamins and minerals within. It's been researched that there are three “super foods” that contain a great mixture of ingredients your body needs. These antioxidants should be consumed daily to keep your cells healthy and not let the free radicals run free, damaging our bodies.

The next chapter investigates what these three antioxidants are all about and what are their health benefits are when consuming them.

It's important for you to understand that healthy living is not only about you eating healthily (organically grown products), but also that you get enough antioxidants on a regular basis because it's really the only way to keep your body from getting a severe disease.

As you’ve already seen, there are public domain works that are completely free and some that are not.

Whether you have to pay for the content is however largely irrelevant because even if you do have to spend some money, you should be able to recoup it many times over with little difficulty.

In this chapter, you’ll discover many ways of doing so.

Beginning your research

The first and most obvious way of making money with public domain materials is to sell them outright. You may sell a public domain work ‘as is’ or you might have to do some work to make it your own.

One way or another however, the most direct method of making money from public domain content is to publish a work as your own and sell it.

To do this effectively, initial research is necessary because if your work is to sell, you must be working with content that people want to buy.

Even if you discovered a work of absolute genius about Mongolian nose flute playing, I seriously doubt that you’ll make much money with it. After all, who is going to buy it?

No matter how good the product is, you’ll struggle to make money if no-one wants what you have to offer.

Whatever your niche idea is, you’ve got to test whether selling whatever content you have in mind is a viable idea or not.

Perhaps without realizing it, you’ve already done some research into whether the market you are looking at is one where there is money to be made or not.

All the online book store sites that you were scouring for public domain content earlier was your first research step. If there are plenty of public domain works available, it tends to suggest that a niche is popular.

Next is blogging. Blogs began to grow dramatically in numbers in the recent year where some even attract more visitors than comprehensive websites. Users use blogs as their platform to sort of pen down their journals and experiences. It gives them the opportunity to not only express themselves to the world but to also receive responses through commentaries of other users.

Your blog can become your very own main website. Try to use yourname.com as the domain of your blog. Put your name, photo, personal message and contact details in your blog. Include your opt-in list on every page to capture your visitors.

The most important things to have in your blog are content, content and content! As we've mentioned earlier, content is your entire kingdom. Content is the substance of your blog. What you want to do is to deliver value to both your existing and potential customers. Remember to deliver content that taps into their hot buttons! Think deep about your own values, opinions and dreams. Think about what and how you'd want to share these to them. There is no right or wrong way to this. As long as you are true to yourself and you feel that what you share will benefit your people, then you're on the right track.

As you generate content for your blog, invite other bloggers and people from social networks to participate. Encourage them to subscribe to your RSS feed and drop you an email. Always update your blog regularly with new content.

You should also do the same in other people's blogs. Do a Google search for “xyz blog” where XYZ is your niche or something related to your niche. Go to those blogs, see which ones are active and worth commenting. Always remember to leave your signature and website link at the end of every comment you make.

However when you visit other blogs, don?t abuse the system by spamming and placing pointless comments such as “Awesome post, check out my website!” This will definitely be frowned upon by readers and blemish your professionalism.

Instead, introduce yourself properly first. Make sure you are adding value and providing constructive comments. Build a rapport and engage with those visitors. This way readers will naturally take notice of you and want to click on to your website.

Chapter III: Recognizing Bad Time Management Habits

Think of the concept of “spare time”. Like most people, you probably think of everything outside business and work as spare time, extra time that can be spend doing something that you really like.

What do you do in your spare time? Do you play sports? Do you read or watch TV? Are you the sort of person who “spares time” for your family?

When talking about the concept of time management, the first thing you have to realize is that it really depends on what balance you like to create.

Later, goal setting exercises will help you realize what type of balance you would like to create in your life. You may have to re-evaluate why you have chosen to become an entrepreneur.

Are you the type of person who sees work as the centre of your life or merely as a means to an end? People work for different reasons and these reasons change with age.

Perhaps the most important question that you can ask yourself as you begin to create new time management habits is why do I work? What do I work for?

This can leave you off-balance simply because you are spending too much time on work. Work is not the end of everything. It is supposed to contribute to the quality of your life. If work is the only factor in your life and you find that you have to spare time for everything else, then you must take a step back.

Before creating good time management habits, it helps to identify bad habits you already have and how this impacts your work. Knowing exactly what you are looking for will help you troubleshoot these habits in the future.

As mentioned previously, one way of locating some undiscovered gems is to search sites like eBay for ‘aged domains’. These domains are valuable not only because they are often cheap (as highlighted earlier), but also because of the fact that they are not newly registered.

The simple fact is that all the evidence suggests that Google and the other major search engines accord more credibility to sites built under older domain names than they would if the name was brand-new.

Furthermore, whilst a new site that is built under a new domain may be ‘dumped’ in the so-called Google ‘sandbox’, this is extremely unlikely if the site is attached to a domain that has existed for several years. Whether the mythical ‘sandbox’ exists or not (which is a subject of great debate), the fact is that if a webmaster builds a new site with a new domain name, Google might ‘pick it up’ but they are unlikely to index and list it for several months.

This does not however happen with a new site that is tied to a domain name that has been around for a year or two.

This is particularly true if the domain name in question has never been used before. From experience, an aged domain with a ‘clean’ history is just about the best option for anyone building a niche website as it is effectively the best of both worlds.

Hence, if you pick up an aged domain that your research shows to be clean, you have a resource that should easily sell at a price that allows you a decent profit.
