CASH from your Car – Deliver a Parcel & Pocket a Profit
Aug 14th
Today’s Money Making tip is a fairly short one and applies solely to the UK. However, in other countries, they must be doing something similar.
If not, perhaps you, yourself could start up something like this.
If you want to earn some EXTRA money for doing what you are already doing, i.e driving – here is an idea which may work for you.
You register with a company called Stuff2Send as a Carrier (not Courier). The difference between a carrier & a courier, is that a carrier chooses to work as and when they feel like and also, with Stuff2Send, you choose to bid on work as it becomes available.
Lets’ say you live in London, but you drive to Birmingham every day. You can choose to “Deliver” a parcel on the way if you wish – thus reducing your normal driving costs as you are being paid to deliver the parcel. Now, this can work well for people who just want to earn some extra cash.
As long as you have a driving licence, and a vehicle (of course!) you can join Stuff2Send as a carrier and bid for work.
You simply join for free, and let Stuff2Send know where you live, and where you can go to deliver.
They do the rest, they receive the offers to deliver and they offer the job through the membership site – you bid for the job, the person who wants the item delivered, either accepts or rejects your bid..
Here is a little bit about Stuff2Send:
Stuff2Send.com puts people who need stuff delivered, in touch with couriers and drivers who plan to be driving there anyway.
- Every day millions of UK motorists with cars, taxis, vans and trucks drive all over the country with empty space in their vehicles.
- Thousands of others – at home or in offices – have stuff to send like parcels, furniture, removals, eBay items etc.
- Stuff2Send connects the two, letting those driving somewhere take stuff you need to send there.
Who can send things?
Quite simply, anyone. If you have an item that needs delivered, then you are eligible to use this service.
What can be sent?
Any “stuff” can be sent; it could be a parcel, a box, a student move, something sold at an online auction, a complete house move, garden rubbish, boxes, crates, furniture, even yourself. Literally anything can be “broadcast” as Stuff2Send.
Who can be a Carrier?
Anyone, whether they be an individual or a business, with a valid driver’s license who is responsible and reliable including commuters, minibus drivers, white van men, couriers, sales reps, taxi services, removal companies, students, housewives, people looking for odd jobs… anyone.
Stuff2Send puts Senders and Carriers in touch. We facilitate the timely exchange of information and communications between parties to achieve the best result for both parties.
We are not a delivery service and are not involved in any final commercial arrangements between the parties.
Keith’s Money Making Tips have no connection with Stuff2Send.
I hope you have enjoyed today’s tip – perhaps you have one you would like to share. I can link it back to your Website, Your Blog or Your Video.
Have a great day

How to get ANY website Highly Ranked on GOOGLE, without being an SEO expert…
Aug 13th
The main problem people have with regards to making money online, is quite simply – they don’t ever get enough TRAFFIC to their Websites – not enough people ever get to see their offers, hence they always experience mediocre results… perhaps, a handful of sales here and there.
It’s no use having a wonderful Website, with a wonderful offer, at a wonderful price if hardly anyone gets to see it.
A lot of website owners spend a lot of time adding good content to their sites (which is good), to make them interesting and attractive to viewers, but spend virtually NO time at all ,getting the most important component – TRAFFIC..
We are kind of led to believe that site OPTIMISATION (SEO) is best left to the “experts” and would be too time – consuming, too technical or too expensive if we attempted to do it ourselves…
I first realised that this was all a bit of a HOAX really – There are some very good site optimisation experts out there, but unless you have money to burn, you can do a good job yourself without getting caught up in the technical side of it.
I knew very little about getting traffic at first – I still knew a great deal more though than the guy who was building my Websites. In fact, his knowledge of getting traffic was solely – FREE web submissions.
This is where you submit your site to a handful of online search engines for free in the hope that your site gets enough coverage to EARN some real,sort of web presence.
We have never had so many ways to get our Websites seen and bombarded with traffic, than we have today. You do not need to pay an SEO expert hundreds, if not thousands of Pounds or Dollars to do this.
Ok, lets take this step by step:
Our aim is to get our site seen by the MASSES, which would mean, greater numbers viewing our site, this should mean MORE people will end up doing something, i.e joining our Opt – In list or directly BUYING our products.
OK, how can we do this, obviously the list of ideas on getting more traffic can be huge and couldn’t all be covered in this one article but here is a LINKED strategy which can be used to good effect and could quite easily get you on the front page of Google for your specific Keywords related to your Website & Niche.
Keywords can be singular or they can contain several words – this is not Double Dutch, this is just how it is – A Keyword that contains four words is still a keyword, it is not know as “keywords”, it is just known as a long tail keyword. i.e “Make Money From Home” is a long tail keyword, containing four words.
Why do we have long tail keywords? simply because short tail keywords such as “Make Money” are highly sought after keywords, and the competition is vast, hence the chances of you getting to page 1 on Google with a short tail keyword are fairly limited – not impossible but fairly limited.
Trish Mullen did an excellent video on how to choose the right keywords for your domain name (website address).
Ok, so lets assume you have gone on to Google and you have searched for their Keyword tool, appropriately known as the “Google Keyword Tool” , you add your keywords or phrases you think are suitable for your niche, and the tool will show you how many online searches Google has received for your particular keywords, lets say you are using our example keywords -”Make Money From Home” – today I can see, this keyword had 15,000 searches in the last month, now this article is not intended as a step by step guide on how to find acceptable keywords – we cetainly don’t have the space here to do this, but with a little research, you can learn how to do this. For the purposes of today’s article, we shall accept, “Make money From Home” as our chosen longtail keyword.
OK, so next we choose our keyword rich domain for our Website (if you don’t already have one) – now, don’t you think, it should contain the phrase “Make Money From Home”,perhaps within the title ? – Sure, OK, lets see what is available today on GoDaddy.
The only domain I can see today worth considering is freemakemoneyfromhome.com, I always prefer a .com as even if you choose a .co.uk etc, people seem to automatically type in .com.
Now again – this is an example only, this is purely to emphasise the importance of having a keyword rich domain, so Google picks it up and hopefully ranks it nearer the front in the Google rankings, now imagine if your domain was something like makemoneywithhildabloggs.com, although it has the keyword “Make Money”, in the domain, this is a very competitive keyword and it would take a lot of SEO to get this baby to the forefront on Google.
As I said, this in not an article on Keywords…
OK, so now we have our keyword rich domain.. how do we get our website to hopefully appear on page 1 at Google?
What I would do is Take a Keyword rich title like, “How to MAKE MONEY FROM HOME – wearing nothing but your underwear” for example and I would write an article on this subject and place it on my Blog or Website. Then I would send the same article to Ezine Articles. with of course, a link back to my Website, plus dont forget to include a link in your bio (author) box.
Now Google, loves this site – not only because it is probably the BEST Article site on the Internet, but because it has so many varied, quality articles, and Google loves quality content. This is a very POWERFUL link to your site, getting articles published here will really do wonders for getting more TRAFFIC to YOU..
You can also send your article to hundreds of other FREE article sites – this is very time consuming, however there are automated ways of doing this.
OK, so we now have, a keyword rich domain name for our website. we have a Keyword rich article, on our Website or Blog – the same Keyword rich article published by Ezine Articles…. and now! We make a FREE 30 second video explaining our article on Animoto with, wait for it – the same keyword rich title as our article, linking back to our Website or Blog
We then upload this video to YouTube and there we have it.
This way of getting your Website seen by hundreds, if not thousands of people has not cost you anything, except a little time
Can you see what we are doing here – we are forming a circle of keyword rich ways, all linked together to rank your Website or Blog higher in the Google rankings, Google loves content rich Websites, by using quality content, linked to good keywords and supported by keyword rich titled videos (Google loves video), you are making it almost IMPOSSIBLE to not get higher rankings.. who knows, your Website could soon be sitting on Page 1 of Google.
I hope you have enjoyed today’s tip - I could probably write a whole book just on this subject alone, but it gives you an outline of how to get more traffic to your site.
I will be back tomorrow, don’t forget – if you have a money making tip of your own, you would like to share with people, please send it here
If published, it can be linked back to your Website, Blog or Video. Also, please feel free to comment on these tips (below),
I am always interested to see, if you are finding them useful etc, please do leave a link to your Website, with each comment.
All the best

Neighbourhood KNIGHTS – A One stop service SHOP…from Home!
Aug 12th
Hello, today’s money making tip is about a way you can help your local community and help yourself at the same time.
You have probably heard of “Neighbourhood Watch” where people keep an eye out in the local streets for suspicious characters, and phone police if they see anything wrong. Well this is NOTHING like that at all! (lol)…
This is Neighbourhood Knights… a self help group who band together under your direction to assist members of the immediate community – for a FEE of course.
Think about what is going on in your local community at any one time.
People need electricians, they need painters, they need someone to fix their fence, to mow their lawn – they may even need someone to clean their house or visit once in a while because they are lonely.
Now picture this – in the evening what are most people doing on any given night ? Answer – mainly watching TV.
Don’t you think amongst your local community that you would have:
a) People who need extra money
b) People who have some sort of skill which could be of USE to another local person
You are just going to match the two of them up, and take a cut of any fees.
As a Neighbourhood Knights leader you can call and/or leave a card explaining on one side of the card the sort of skills required, and on the other side of the card, you show a nice big “MAKE MONEY” in Red on Black.
Charge reasonable rates, get a variety of people on your books from your local neighbourhood, this way you are helping out your local people by providing them with answers to their problems, at reasonable rates – and on the flip side of that coin you are providing part time work to other local people.
Obviously check out the people who are going to be on your books, take a reference and ask for examples of their work.
If someone claiming to be a good house cleaner comes on board, ask them to clean your house first as a “test” (lol) for FREE!
How many people must there be on any given day – in say, just a small 3 mile square area of any built up area, who would perhaps require some help with their computer, a babysitter – or they may need a plumber, a TV repairman, a cleaner, someone to run up and collect a takeaway.
The possibilities are endless. I remember when I was a child, someone in my local area was running a handyman service from the end of his long garden, in his shed, people used to say he did it just to get away from his wife, but this was all he did, he didn’t have a job, so it must have worked for him.
Well, that’s today’s money making tip.
I will be back tomorrow
Have a good day
Keith
