The Bible relates in I Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evils.”
Not having been blessed with having so called ‘rich people’ in my circle of friends I cannot speak with authority on the above declared love affair with money, which some individuals supposedly have.
I would proffer that even those with just a bit more than the average personal net worth, as well as those who could be classified as ‘rich,’ treat money much as the gentleman who frequents a house of ill repute. He certainly does not love the prostitute but surely loves the pleasures and enjoyment she provides. So it is I conclude with most of the rich. They undoubtedly love the pleasures and luxury afforded by their wealth but surely are not in love with money-per se.
Let us look at some examples of those with indescribable wealth in the world today.
THE WORLDS BILLIONAIRES
The latest Forbes magazine survey and ranking of the worlds richest indicates, and lists, 4 US citizens in the top 10 of the wealthiest 1,140 individuals in the world.
One of those in the number 3 spot is Warren Buffett. Forbes places his wealth at something over 50 Billion. Yes, that is $50,000,000. And, guess what. This billionaire has lived for the past 25-30 years, or longer, in the modest neighborhood of urban Omaha, Nebraska in a unostentatious house, the last I read was valued at under $300,000. Love of money? Perhaps he loves it so much he doesn’t want to spend it. I doubt it.
And what of the 2nd. ranked in this the world’s most wealthy. It is none other than Bill Gates, at $56 Billion. And what of his love of money? He has endowed the world’s, that’s WORLD’S, richest charitable foundation. It has been involved in education and prevention of TB, AIDS, polio, and hunger and famine throughout the world. Not exactly an example of a love affair with money although he still has a fairly large remaining stash. Oh! Almost forgot to mention he also lives in a rather modest dwelling, last I heard, a little over 8,000 sq. ft.
It is quite revelatory to note that of the 29 Americans on this Forbes list of the top 100 of the world’s wealthiest almost all made their own fortunes and quite a few in the Internet industry. And very few in this 100 inherited their wealth with the exception of the Waltons who have 4 of their families in the top 25.
Their inheritance again is a picture, similar to Buffett’s, of an individual who had almost no regard for his own worth or wealth. Old Sam, the founder of Wal-Mart, late in his career, still drove an old pickup, stopped every morning for breakfast and coffee at the same town gathering spot and had no pretend-tions or love affair with his money–many Billions. In fact his daily routine, like Buffett’s, was not much different than some hard working ordinary individual making $30,000-$40,000 a year.
Another individual on this list of 100 of the world’s wealthiest may surprise one as it is Number 30, none other than Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York City. Although he is only estimated to be worth a little over 18 Billion he has seemingly decided that a life of public service is more im-portant than worrying about his money. I would suggest, however, that he has the wherewithal to assure someone is taking exceptionally good care of it for him.
Totally, Forbes lists 1,234 Billionaires in the world. Of that total 344 of them reside in the United States and it is quite revealing to note the number of Billionaires calling Russia and China their home base.
And, the above is only a brief rundown of the BILLIONAIRES. There also are literally thousands of Millionaires in just the United States alone, not counting the rest of the world.
Now one can only speculate which of all of these super wealthy individuals my be in love with his/her money but I think it would be a fair bet they are all deeply attached to and in love with what money can do and buy as they enjoy it on a daily basis.
To get back to our title’s question. Don’t You Think It’s About Your Turn? The above dissertation could be either very depressing or highly motivational, depending on one’s particular outlook. It is not very likely that many Americans aspire to be Billionaires. A relatively few may desire to become Millionaires which, in the Internet Market, is not such a remote possibility although still a long ways from the norm.
Currently, there is no doubt, the Internet Marketplace is the preferred location, if not the only one available for individuals to fulfill their financial dreams.
YES, IT CAN BE YOUR TURN!
And, how do you do that? Primarily and almost exclusively with WEB SITES. The most effective method, close to the only one of communicating and selling on the Internet-WEB SITES!!
OK. What is entailed in a web site?
First, one must decide on a Domain name. Basically, the title or name of your web site page, commonly called your URL. After deciding that, it is necessary to do a world wide search to assure that your name has not already been taken.
Your next step would be to design and construct your web page. This is a critical step as how it will be ranked among all of the web pages, something over 5 billion, and ill determine how many individuals seek it out and read it.
The critical path to attaining a high ranking is the use of ‘key words,’ not only in the title of your site but also in the body of your material.
Once you feel you have accomplished this you need to have your web page, under your Domain name, submitted to the, literally, hundreds of Search Engines, or SE’s, so it will appear when someone engages or accesses them.
The next most important step, after selection of your ‘key words’ is to develop a marketing plan, or strategy, for your site. This should entail an extensive list of methods including articles, blogs, ezines, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo and other social media sites.
Finally, it will be necessary to develop another web page. If your original page is a sales page then this web site will be a pre-sell page. Conversely, if your original site was a pre-sell page then this new site would be a sales page.
There is no doubt this whole procedure may seem somewhat daunting, how-ever, there are hundreds of sites which can assist you in these endeavors. Most of them charge a fee for many of the items and the freebies are not very satisfactory.
