Some say "You have to spend money to earn money", do you agree with it?

“Anybody could have done we did,” an IBM spokesman told us candidly. “Part of the reason we went this route was speed. We wanted to enter the marketplace in a hurry, and it was quicker to buy off the shelf than for us to make it. The other reason was there was no compelling reason for us to do it ourselves. There were good components out there.”

Think about that for a minute. Here is one of the most successful companies in American history saying, in essence, it didn’t have to reinvent the wheel. There were good parts already out there; all we had to do was put them together. “We didn’t have to do everything ourselves.”

Put in italics, the statement looks so obvious as to be absurd. Yet, if you look at the thousands of small companies that fail each year, you’ll find there is at least one common thread: They spent money needlessly. Yes, if you are going to be in business, you have to produce a product. But that doesn’t mean you have to manufacture it. Yes, your product will have to be packaged somewhere, but you don’t have to package it.

Simply put, you don’t have to spend money to make money. In fact, you shouldn’t.

You Have to Spend Money to Earn Money It surprises me that many people fail to grasp this concept as they first set out to start their own businesses. Thanks to the power of the Internet, anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection can now START their own online businesses with little investment. However, generally speaking, it is a given that you have to invest money into your business to if you seriously want it to grow. Affiliate marketing is a great way for ordinary people to start making money on the Internet. After finding an affiliate program that offers products you are interested in promoting, you can start an online business with just a website. So your total investment up to this point may simply be registering for a domain name and paying for a web hosting account. But then what? You have to start marketing the products and getting people to your website! A lot of people are turned off when they discover that this is a demanding process that requires a substantial amount of hard work, time, AND money! Let me give you a specific example. As all experienced Internet marketers know, "the money is in the list." Simply put, you want to build a mailing list of people who may be interested in what you have to offer. One of the most effective ways to grow your mailing list is to use a pay-per-lead service where you PAY a company to bring targeted subscribers to you. The company will run an advertising campaign for you and deliver motivated, opt-in subscribers to your list. The cost can vary greatly depending on the information you require. The e-mail lead packages I have been using recently range from $.10 to $.35 per lead. The best lead provider I have used is TrafficOasis. It provides targeted leads that are fresh, NON-SHARED, responsive, and affordable. If you who like to know more, check out its website: http://www.trafficoasis.com/index.php?118787 Other areas where you MAY want to invest money in include: logo design, web design, web promotion, and useful tools such as a graphics editor and a powerful autoresponder. However, there are plenty of free resources on the Internet and I encourage you to seek them out. The saying, "You have to spend money to earn money," generally holds true for ANY business! An Internet-based business is no exception,whether your are promoting your own products or someone else's. It is also important that you re-invest a portion of your profits into your business! That way, not only will your business continue to grow, but its GROWTH RATE will also increase! This in turn brings in MORE profits, which allows you to invest MORE into your business... Do you see a pattern!? The key is to invest money into your business wisely while staying within your budget. If you believe in your business, you are bound to be successful! To Your Success!

Financial advisers are always thinking of new and different ways to save money. They counsel clients and apply the same principles to their businesses. After all, if expenses can be cut, profit increases, right?At the most basic level, yes. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking has been proven counterproductive.In reality, boosting revenue drives profitability better than decreasing expenses. This concept, once internalized, can make a huge impact on a firm's bottom line.In short, generating10% in additional revenue in a profitable business will prove more beneficial than cutting expenses by10%.If focusing on revenue is key, why are advisers still concerned about controlling overhead? In fact, rather than reducing expenses, spending more in the right places has shown to be successful in producing exponentially greater net earnings. 

Spending money is a skill. You can spend with intelligence or stupidity. You can use your money to increase your financial worth or you can just waste it.Businesses that spend money intelligently make more profit. Their employees earn higher salaries and their customers get better service. Businesses that spend money foolishly cannot afford top employees who produce high-quality services or products.Your personal spending habits can make you rich or poor. For example, a married couple accumulates over $2 million during their working years with intelligent spending. Another married couple, with a similar income, have no savings when they reach their60's because they never knew the principle that is covered in this article.
