Tips from a college student

Guys, I am really excited about this company. The way it works is you do basically two things: sell service contracts to people, and sign up other marketers.

The company gives you a website that you sell services through, and the companies we are partnered with are huge very successful companies that are at the top of their industries. We sell Dish Network satellite TV, all the major cell phone carriers contracts, Identashield identity theft monitoring and legal network, Peter Lamas beauty products, and many other services. We are rewarded with a monthly commission from each contract we sell, along with each contract every rep under us sells. The great thing is that you don't have to sell something every month. Once you sell a contract, you continue to make commission on it until the individual gets rid of the company. As you can tell, by getting paid commission on contracts of the reps under you, it is possible to build a very extensive residual income over time.

The second thing, signing up other representatives, is the part that I enjoy the most. You are able to help out other people by showing them this awesome opportunity to make money. It can provide you with a few hundred dollars a month part time, which would significantly impact most families that I know, up to a million dollars a month, which is about as high as anyone has made it thus far I think.

Most people who have any sense are begging to sign up after seeing the details of the business plan, because it is so simple and just makes sense.

Look for a post soon on why network marketing is going to be the next big money maker, and why it is here to stay.

This new business that I mentioned previously is called Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM), and I am so excited about it. It is a network marketing company, but is unlike any other one in the industry. A man named Paul Orbeson began this business with his personal fortune that he gained through hard work in another network marketing company called Excel Communications, which later went out of business. He created FHTM to have a compensation that rewards the representatives extremely well, instead of just the people at the top as is typical in these type of organizations. FHTM is 100% debt free, and is committed to never having stockholders or selling out. There are currently over 30 different ways that representatives can be paid, many of which I do not understand yet.

I joined this about a month ago, but have hardly done any work thus far. I started last week putting in some effort, and will be promoted this week for the first time to a regional manager. From there, I will make several hundred dollars in the first month following the promotion, and then close to a thousand a month from there on out most likely. I am extremely excited about this opportunity, and will definitely write more about it in the coming weeks.

If you would like to know more about it before I get around to posting it on here, send me and email and I'd be happy to give you all the details.

I was introduced to a guy recently who is making a ton of money on a network marketing company in Charlotte, NC. He sat down with me and explained the ins and outs of the business, and pitched the company to me in an effort to convince me to join him. At first I thought it was a scam, but I sat back and listened to him and his whole presentation, and then told him I would let him know.

I went home after this and discussed it with my roommates and some well known and very successful businessmen who were also invited to the presentation. We all decided that this had some serious potential, and at the very least was a legitament company that we could easily return our investment on. After deciding this we went off individually and began to research the company some, and then talked to the guy from Charlotte to ask some more details. In the end, my roommates and I decided to join and the businessman got his son to join because he doesn't have the time to work this (he is already ballin anyway).

This company has many important people working in it, including many CEO's and executives who are already doing exceedingly well in corporate America, Nascar drivers (after all, it is big in Charlotte), retired NFL players, etc. The main person who stuck out to me that is doing this is Ken Louis, the CEO of Bank of America. I decided that if he thinks it is worth doing, then there is some serious potential.

Another reason why this company has the potential to make us rich is it is still very small, with a strong presence in only a few major cities, but it has already built the infastructure and management to expand to four different countries even though it hasn't spread across America yet. It is now beginning to take off, and by getting in early I have the chance to sign a ton of people up under me and make a fortune. It is beginning to get some press and recognition now, and it will only take off from here.

I'm sure you can tell that I am very excited about this, because I think this could be a great opportunity to make some good income now as well as build some residual income in the future. I will give more details about this company and how it makes money in future posts, but if you are interested in joining me then send and email to tipsfromacollegestudentblog@gmail.com.

I mentioned in a previous post that I am looking to get into real estate investing. I have been wanting to do this since my second year in college, when I realized that there is a huge market in college towns for rental properties because of all of the college students renting off campus. I am sure that it varies at different schools, but I have determined here that the average rent is around 300 dollars a person. I am still working on the numbers, but that creates a great opportunity to buy a house or townhome and rent it out.

I have made friends with several Realtors in town and plan on contacting them soon to let them know of my intentions to purchase a property to rent. There are several things to look for when purchasing a rental property. It is important to find something that you can rent easily first of all, because if you can't rent it then it becomes a very expensive liability very quickly. You want this to be an asset, which is something which puts money in your pocket.

This leads into the next thing that you want out of an investment, which is positive cash flow. The income from rent needs to cover the mortgage payment, property tax, insurance, maintenance, HOA, etc. These costs are all very predictable, with possibly the exception of maintenance. A good handyman or home inspector can give you a heads up on potential problems that could lead to expensive repairs in the near future. It would be wise to have this inspection done before purchasing the property, that way you can use it as a bargaining tool to get a better deal on the house.

This brings up a third thing to look for in your investment property: appreciation. You want to get something that is in a growing area of town, that is not going to lose value. A good real estate agent can advise you on this more.

There are many tax credits available right now for first time home buyers, and if you are going to live in the house then you can get financing easier as the primary resident. A good idea for college students is to convince your parents or a close friend with good credit to cosign so you can get better financing.

Look for future posts on real estate and techniques for achieving greater cash flow through depreciation and tax savings.

Dominic Corey from the UK has created a wonderful website for helping students write their dissertations. It is valuable for anyone writing a dissertation from undergraduate through doctorate levels. This website covers everything from choosing a topic to formatting and even gives samples. If you have to write a dissertation soon or know someone who does, check out this site. There are some parts that try to get you to buy something, but most of the information is free. I wouldn't buy the stuff probably, but you can evaluate that on your own. Generally I just grab the free information and move on to the next site.

After about a 10 month lapse I am back. I have been extremely busy with school and work, and got burned out on blogging for a while but now am back and ready to update.

It has been a while since I have written anything, but I have been working my butt off trying to find new ways to make money as a college student. It has been difficult with school and my regular job, but I am working on a few different things that could end up bringing in some income. Some opportunities have more potential than others, but all are worth the time for sure. I will write more about these things very soon.

In the mean time, I have been socking away all the extra money I make into savings, waiting for a real estate opportunity. I am almost ready to buy my first investment property, and have a cosigner ready to go when I decide I am ready. I will write a post about what I plan on to do in real estate and my strategy after I update some of the other opportunities.

Stay Tuned...
