Tips for Reducing Stress in Your Life
Mary Calvagna

Stress— we've all felt it at one time or another. But many people feel stress often; some even feel it as a part of their daily lives. Stress has been implicated as a possible cause of—or at least exacerbating some of the symptoms of—numerous conditions, including coronary artery disease, stroke, immune disorders, gastrointestinal problems such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease, eating problems, diabetes, sleep disturbances, and sexual reproduction dysfunction. Learning to reduce your stress levels can help you live happier, healthier, and maybe even longer.

The National Mental Health Association offers the following tips for reducing or controlling stress:

Be realistic. Don't take on everything; learn to say no. Set realistic goals for yourself. If you are feeling overwhelmed, try eliminating an activity that is not absolutely necessary. Ask yourself, "What really needs to be done? Is the deadline realistic?" No one is perfect, so do not expect perfection from yourself or others. And ask for help if you need it.

Meditate. It only takes about 10–20 minutes to get a benefit from meditating. These few moments of quiet reflection may bring relief from stress as well as increase your tolerance to it. And it is simple to do: sit quietly, listen to peaceful music, relax, and try and think of pleasant things or think of nothing.

Visualize. Take a moment to picture how you can manage a stressful situation more calmly and successfully. This can work with just about anything, whether it is an important presentation at work or moving to a new place or taking an exam. A visual rehearsal can boost self-confidence and help you have a more positive attitude toward a difficult task.

Take one thing at a time. When you start to feel overwhelmed, try taking one task at a time. Make a list of things you need to do. Put the most urgent task at the top. Once you have accomplished it, cross it off and move on to the next one. The positive feeling of crossing things off can help keep you motivated.

Exercise. Regular exercise is a great way to reduce stress, and it benefits the body as well as the mind. Just 20–30 minutes of physical activity a day can do the trick.

Get involved in hobbies. Take a break from the stressors of life and do something you really enjoy. Try gardening, painting, or reading. Schedule time to indulge your interests.

Practice a healthful lifestyle. Eating healthfully will make a difference. Avoiding things like smoking, excessive alcohol, and caffeine will help as well. Make sure you get adequate rest and exercise, and that you balance work and play.

Share your feelings. Talking about things can help you feel better. A conversation with someone can help you relax. And listening to someone else can take the focus off of yourself—something we all need to do every now and then. Stay in touch with your family and friends; don't try to cope alone.

Give in occasionally. You don't always have to be right. Be flexible. Be willing to compromise. If you do, others may meet you halfway. If you know you are right, stand your ground. But be calm and rational. And listen and make allowances for other's opinions.

Go easy with criticism. When you expect too much from yourself or others, you may end up feeling frustrated, let down, and disappointed. Remember that each person is unique and everyone, including yourself, has shortcomings. But each person also has many beautiful qualities to share with the world.

12 Ways to Make Money Online
Kevin Bidwell

Many people think of web business in a single dimension. They only see their business as selling an eBook. Or drop shipping. Or selling software.

The reality is there are many ways to make money from (monetize) a website.

Here are my top 12:

1. You can create an eBook product.

This can be easily automated, meaning that once this site is up your daily routine would be marketing and answering minimal customer service emails. The entire order process can be completely automated.

2. You can create a digital tutorial product.

Again, this can be easily automated, meaning that once this site is up your daily routine would be marketing and answering minimal customer service emails. The entire order process can be completely automated.

3. You can create a software product.

Easily automated as well, meaning that once this site is up your daily routine would be marketing and answering minimal customer service emails. The entire order process can be completely automated.

4. You can sell a “hard good” you purchase wholesale (or manufacture) then sell at retail.

This requires you to purchase the product before-hand and fulfill orders yourself. You would spend days filling orders, managing shipping and returns, marketing.

5. You can sell a “hard good” as a drop-shipped product.

A “drop shipped” product is a hard good that a manufacturer ships directly for you to the customer. You collect the retail price on your website, forward the order to your manufacturer along with the shipping and wholesale price and keep the difference.

Similar to #4, you will have to spend some time fulfilling orders, but the time consuming task of shipping is done by your manufacturer.

6. You can sell advertising.

For a high demand market niche this can produce solid revenue. Ad sales can be done by an outside agency, you can sell them yourself and/or you can use services like Google Adsense or Traffic Showcase to provide ads for you.

Here you can generate a nice income with a “hands-off” site provided you can position yourself well in a market place. Solid demand coupled with good search engine position can give you a good deal of time freedom.

7. You can sell affiliate products.

If you have a solid search-engine position, this one can be run much like an advertising site. If you don’t have solid SE position, then you would spend your time creating and sending a newsletter, writing articles and generating traffic to your site.

8. You can promote an opportunity (like Multi-Level Marketing, etc.)

The key ingredient here is building a huge opportunity seeker list. Your best time is spent generating new leads and cultivating them into a paid down line. There are many online “training” programs that can automate training, but marketing to get the new leads is how your time would be used.

9. You can generate leads (to sell wholesale or to plug into an opportunity site)

If you are wanting to promote an opportunity site, then this goes hand-in-hand. The time here is spent getting people to the lead generation site and getting them into your “system.”

10. You can sell a service.

If the service you provide can be completely or almost completely automated, then you would spend your time marketing your site. Keep in mind, however, that if you are offering a “physical service”—like proofreading or carpet cleaning—you will need to spend a significant amount of time actually providing the service.

11. You can run a subscription site.

Subscription sites are a great way to go for a solid, recurring income. Keep in mind you will have to be constantly updating the content in order to retain members. Your time beyond that will be spent marketing your site.

12. You can use a combination of the above.

Obviously there are many online businesses using a combination of two or more of the above.

The big question you need to answer when it comes to choosing a monetization model for your own business is lifestyle—how much you want to work (if at all), how much money you want to make, what things you enjoy doing.

Choose the monetization model that best fits your end goal.
