Stuck in idea-mode? Can't seem to get your business up and running? Well, you are in luck because in this post I will show you the top 9 great business quotes that will motivate you to make money. Read on to get your mind ready for success!

1.  "The secret to getting ahead is getting started." - Mark Twain

     This is a great quote because it shows you that you can never be successful, or get ahead, in life, if you never start trying. So, if you have an idea that has been in the back of your mind, go out and try creating a business with it. It doesn't help you if you don't use it.

2. "The key to success is to start before you're ready." - Marie Forleo

     Well, this answers the age old question of "When should I start my business?" Start your business before you're ready, and work out the little kinks as you go along. The sooner you start the sooner you can be successful.

3. "Why not go out on a limb? That's where the fruit is." - Mark Twain

     Another great quote by Mark Twain, that tells you to take a few risks sometimes because no one has ever been successful without taking a few, smart risks.

4. "Build you own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs." - Farrah Gray

     This quote is so great in today's day and age. Either you start your own business and follow you dreams, or become an employee working for another business. What would you rather do?

5. "Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great." - John D. Rockefeller

     You may be happy with your job because it's good, but what is stopping you from giving that up, and following you dreams. Later you may be happy with your job because it's great!

6. "Be encouraged. Stay on your hustle. You can't fail until you quit." - Russell Simmons

     The message in this quote, particularly the last sentence, is awesome. If you are feeling disheartened, just remember, you can't fail until you quit. Even if your idea turns out to be not so great, if you work at it, it just might become something greater.

7. "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." - Vince Lombardi

     You have to work hard to be successful, and this quote is all about working hard. No one has ever been successful without working hard, and believing in what they do.

8. "If you can dream it, you can do it." - Walt Disney

     One of the most creative, and successful, man of all time tells you anything is possible, so why not listen? If you have an idea that seems far-fetched, maybe it's not so far-fetched, just try it, see what happens.

9. "The starting point of achievement is desire." - Napoleon Hill

     Our final quote today, and it's a good one. There is nothing in life that comes without desire. You desire food, you eat. You desire education, you go to school. So, in order to have a successful business you have to desire that business. Make it your life. Desire it so much, that when you get sick of desiring it, desire it some more. Then, and only then, will you be successful.

     In case some of you don't know, you credit score is a number, given to you through your social security number at the age of 16-18, that ranges from 300-850, and shows banks, business, etc. whether or not you are safe to lend to. The higher your credit score, the better. The infographic below shows how a, high or low, credit score can affect you. Check you credit score for free here. If you are looking to increase your credit score, here are 5 easy ways to do just that.

Source- http://credit.org/blog/what-is-a-good-credit-score-infographic/

Your Credit Score is made up of:

35% Payment History- Late Payments, etc.

30% How Much You Owe- Amount, etc.

15% Length of Credit History- Long, Short, etc.

10% New Credit- New Accounts, etc.

10% Other Factors- Mix of Credit Cards, House Loan, etc.

1. Pay Off Your Credit Card EVERY Month

     When you get billed for your credit card, don't make just the minimum payments, this can end up costing you more AND decreasing your credit score. Instead, pay off all the debt/credit you have, in order to increase your score. Making a late payment or defaulting can decrease your score by as much as 100 points! If you do make timely payments though, you can increase you credit score by as much as 80 points! That is a great boost, and can set you up to increase you credit score even more.

2.  Keep a Low Balance on Your Credit Cards

     Make sure you keep you balance low on all your credit cards and don't hit the credit limit. This shows companies that you are responsible and can handle having large amounts of credit available to you. Also, having higher debt level can dock your score by as much as 80 points. By keeping your debt level low, you can increase your score by, up to, an initial 40 points, but if you make a history of paying on time you can increase your score by an additional 50 points.

3.  Open New Credit Accounts/Loans Only When You Need Them

     If you open too many credit accounts in a short period of time, companies might get nervous that you will rack up debt because you have too much credit available to you, so your credit score may decrease. To combat this, only open up a new credit account when you need one, plus this, along with paying down your credit further, can help raise your score an additional 50 points! Also, taking out big loans for things like a house or a car, initially, decrease you credit score because they are somewhat risky loans. So, it is a good idea to spread out big purchases by at least 1 year, if not more. 

4. Check Your Credit Report Often To Check for Errors

     Have you ever suddenly seen your credit score drop? If you have, this may have been an error, which could have been resolved. When you check you credit report, make sure you look for errors, if you see one, contact the creditor and credit reporting agency, to fix it. This can keep your score from decreasing, on average, 20 points, and it shows companies that you are responsible with checking your credit report.

5.  If You Miss a Payment, Get Up to Date and Stay There

     Once you miss a payment, your score will obviously go down, but that doesn't mean you have to fret too much about it. Evaluate the reason you missed that payment, create a plan, so you don't do it again, and start paying your bills on time and keep it that way. Try setting up automatic payments for things like loans, etc. This shows credit companies that even though you missed a payment, ever since you have been responsible with your credit. Remember the longer you pay your bills on time, the better your score (as much as +40 points).

Extremely Effective Effective Tips for Monetizing Ads on Your Blog

     Is your blog not getting the return you thought it would? Are you not earning nearly enough? Well, I'm glad you're here. On this post, I have compiled a list, from around the internet, of extremely effective tips to monetize your blog in order to earn more and worry less.

The Basics

     If you are here, then you probably already have ads on your blog, but they aren't generating the income you need. Well, first let's cover the basics. 

     You get paid from ads in 2 ways, CPM and CPC. CPM stands for "cost per 1,000," which means how much you are going to get paid for 1,000 impressions, or views, of that ad. The average CPM around the web is about $1. CPC stands for "cost per click," which means how much you are going to get paid if someone clicks on the ad. CPC can be anywhere from $0.20 to $50, depending on the ad. Earning $50 if someone clicks on the ad is very very rare.

Highest Paying Keywords

     Now that you know the basics, to be successful, you have to understand that certain keyword ads pay more than others. For example, an ad relating to the keyword, insurance, is probably going to pay more than an ad relating to the keyword, recipe. See the infographic below, for the top 20 most expensive keywords in Google Adwords.

Source- http://www.wordstream.com/articles/most-expensive-keywords

     As you can see, keywords relating to money, finance, and medical, pay the most. So, if you have a financial or medical blog, you're lucky, you already have high paying keywords to use. For some blogs, it is going to be harder to make that extra money, but that doesn't mean you can't do it. Try writing a few articles, with keywords that you know pay well, and see if your audience enjoys these articles. If they like it, that's great, if they don't, then write content that they do enjoy, and work on better ad placement to make up the difference.

Ad Placement, Type, and Size

     Nobody likes obnoxious ads, so don't make them obnoxious. A well placed ad can increase your revenue by as much as 50%. A great ad is an ad that relates to your article, is the correct size, is in the right place, and gives your reader something, or solves a problem for them. That is the key. Ads that don't solve problems, or give your reader something extra, aren't worth displaying. The next step is the placement and size of your ad. Google has a help page that shows the best size and placements, access it here- https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/17955?hl=en. 

Diversify Your Ads

     One of the biggest mistake is only enabling image-based ads. You can increase your revenue by 30% just by enabling text-based ads in addition to image based ones. Also, if an ad is doing well, keep showing it, if it's not, change it to a different ad, or remove it all together.

Ad Networks

     There are many good ad networks, with the most popular being Google Adsense, however this may not be the best ad network for you. I have listed a few of the ad networks below. Please review them, so you can pick the best one for you.

Google AdSense- https://www.google.com/adsense/start/

Vibrant Media- http://www.vibrantmedia.com/

Adsterra Network- https://adsterra.com/

Read this article for more of the best ad networks.

Final Tips

• Don't have obnoxious ads.
• Ads that don't give your readers something extra, aren't worth displaying.
• Make sure your ads are the right size and in the best place.
• Enable image and text based ads.
• Use different networks and see which ones work the best for you.
