How to make money Online During Retirement

Retirement should be a time for you to relax, and not have to worry about having enough money to do the things you enjoy doing. Unfortunately, a majority of retirees are ill prepared for the financial burdens of retirement due to a lack of savings, a low monthly benefit amount, rising health care costs, no employer sponsored pension plan, rising mortgage rates, and so on, and so forth.

Truth is, some people are blogging for a living and making some serious cash. Like professional athletes there are superstar bloggers who make six figure incomes doing what most others do just for the fun or glory of it.

However, a closer look will show that, like any other hardworking pro, high earning bloggers do not just find their blogs falling into a great big pile of cash. Instead these bloggers work hard at getting their work recognized, applying all the tools to get them noticed, and selling their blog to both the public as well to the business sector.

Tools of the trade. While being a good writer is always up there on the list of requirements, a high earning blogger will also know a thing or two about HTML code, keyword placement, page rank, the importance of comments, RSS feeds, track backs, plus a whole bunch of other Web 2.0 terms that have cropped up this past decade.

Having a bit of “web savvy”, as it is called, is mandatory if you want to get your blog noticed and make it saleable. It is also important to be ok with the idea of placing ads along the side of your blog since advertising, most specifically, pay per click (PPC) ads, are the most popular revenue source from blogs.

Visit forums. Go to Google and type in your subject and forums in the search line. This will return forums that are in your niche. Sign up for them and make useful posts every day. Make sure to include in your signature a link back to your landing page where people can claim their free report.

It’s really amazing that you can get the exact value listening to an audio book while doing your normal chores as you would reading it.

Certain experts even say information sinks in more when we are not paying direct attention to them.

But when did this audio book phenomenon really start? In other words, what is the past of audio books?

Audio books seem to be a brand new invention, right?

WRONG!

It is very easy to make the assumption that audio books are a recent invention because of the mention of CDs, downloadable digital formats, MP3s, PDAs and other technological jargons each time audio books are discussed. But audio books started far before now.

To know how long audio books have been, it is pertinent to understand exactly what audio books are.

Forget about any other jargon you have heard, audio books are simply books that are recorded to be heard, instead of read.

That being the case, such recordings of books in audio formats have been around for a very long time - far before now. If you want to be specific, it is safe to say they have existed for at least half century ago.

It could even be longer, if you include the Library of Congress recordings made especially for the American Foundation for the Blind and distributed free throughout the U.S.

However, according to Robin Whitten, the editor and founder of the only magazine which is dedicated solely to the audio book industry - Audiofile–http://www.AudioFileMagazine.com, Caedmon (now a subsidiary of HarperCollins Publishers) can be credited for starting the recording of literature as far back as half a century ago.

Also, he said that Caedmon was only a small company way back then in New York, which began the process of recording the great authors and poets of the 1950s to audio. Specifically, he has said that one of the earliest recordings ever made were of the greats such as Dylan Thomas, T.S. Eliot, Fitzgerald and Robert Frost.

What happened then was that they were simply recorded while doing their own works and made as vinyl records.

But these early recordings can arguably pass off for the first collection of audio books ever.

However, audio books did not transition to the format of cassette tapes until the late 70s - 80s. From thence, it blossomed until audio books in audiocassette tapes came to be accepted by all and sundry.

For whatever reason however, the audio book phenomenon didn’t really kick off until the 1990s.

And now that we have changed from cassette tapes to compact disks even more people have an interest in audio books.

With the advent of the Internet and its paraphernalia, audio books have now transited from vinyl records, audiocassette taps and CDs into downloadable digital formats that can be listened to with a desktop computer, laptop computer, PDAs, etc.

If you still want to ‘go back through time’ the original book recordings that began this audio book industy are available.

Impossible?

Not really.

Some of those early 1950s analog recordings by Caedmon which were performed by the greats of those days can be purchased today on the Internet.

For instance, I searched on the world wide web and came across the actual recording of “The Lord of the Rings” as read by J.R.R. Tolken.

You can find that classic you have always dreamt of in audio book format if you search hard enough on the Internet.

An excellent source that I have found for audio book downloads is Spoken Network. You can find them at:
