Money What It Is?

Money is any object or record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given socio-economic context or country. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally in the past, a standard of deferred payment.Any kind of object or secure verifiable record that fulfills these functions can serve as money.

Money is historically an emergent market phenomena establishing a commodity money, but nearly all contemporary money systems are based on fiat money. Fiat money is without intrinsic use value as a physical commodity, and derives its value by being declared by a government to be legal tender; that is, it must be accepted as a form of payment within the boundaries of the country, for "all debts, public and private".

The money supply of a country consists of currency (banknotes and coins) and bank money (the balance held in checking accounts and savings accounts). Bank money usually forms by far the largest part of the money supply. in Wikipedia

5 Ways to Get Money Without Working

5 Ways to Get Money Without Working:

1- Win the lottery.
This is one of the least work-intensive ways of making money, but you're much more likely to lose money (from buying the ticket) than win a big prize. Be careful not to get addicted to buying tickets — always expect to lose the money you spend on lottery tickets. You could also try your hand at betting ar the race tracks.

2- Become a moneylender. Now that there are large economic incentives and new technology, more people are becoming successful lenders. Loaning someone else money at a high rate of interest gets returns on what would otherwise just be sitting in their bank account.

3- Host a successful website. Figure out a way to make money off your website. If you find a cheap or free way to host a website, then you can do this without spending a lot, thus increasing your income.

4- Look for rare coins in your pocket change. Obtain very large quantities of coins at your local bank if necessary. Sell them on sites such as eBay (or your online store). Look around your house or on the streets for change. Even if they're not "rare," you'd be surprised with how much money you can save just by picking up loose coins on the street!

5- Start playing poker professionally. Poker requires a lot of skill, as well as luck, but if you master it, you can make a relatively large sum of money.

Success Versus Money

Like it or not, most often success is judged in terms of a person's bank balance. In a consumer-driven economy, a penchant for selling—ideas, concepts or products—goes a long way in earning money, as well as in being materially successful. "If you don't want to sell what you produce," asks Lester, "why would you produce it?"

Which is why, today, even spiritual leaders and healers need to advertise their unique capabilities because the most successful are those who reach out to a wide variety of people. After all, how would a person sitting in Timbuktoo know where to go for something as esoteric as rudraksha therapy, if not through advertisements?

Despite consumerism, it would be a mistake to read success as a synonym for money. Although the two often go hand in hand, money itself cannot make you a success, and vice-versa. Take A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former chief of India's Defence Research and Development Organization. A simple man who came from a not-so-well-to-do family, nobody can deny that he is a success. Yet, who is interested in how much money he makes? What makes him a success is his intellect and achievements.

What about the sages who left all to seek something much more intangible? Were they any less of a success? Would the Buddha have been more successful had he stayed with his palace and wealth?

Money rarely defines a person's worth in the real sense of the term. In an ideal world, money would change hands ethically and the money that you earn would be directly proportionate to your capability. In the real world, money is often a result of lineage, contacts, unethical shortcuts or exploitation, so that the respect it should demand in ideal circumstances eludes it.

Create Good Unique Content

Google’s generally advice to website owners over the years has been to “create good unique content” and you will be rewarded. We all know this to be bogus – and if you didn’t know this by now – welcome to my blog. For at least the next several years we’ll continue to see updates to the Google algorithm and everyone will continue to sound the “death of SEO” alarm, but what will continue to be among the most important ranking factors will be the number and quality of links pointing to your website.

Connect suppliers with buyers.

Referral fees are a common practice in business, but they haven't been used much in online networking sites because there was no way to track them. Sites like Salesconx, InnerSell and uRefer now provide that. Vendors set the referral fees they're willing to pay (and for what), and when the transaction happens, you get paid. uRefer also allows merchants to set up referral programs for introductions and meetings, as well as transactions.
