Well, as much as I’d like to say that the reason for us not being able to update earlier was because we’ve been terribly busy, I’d have to admit that I was being lazy. An incredible indolence had possessed me and as of this writing, it’s still clinging persistently onto my back. I haven’t been half as productive as I was during the first week and if you’ve ever tried risking anything in your life before, you’d know the feeling I’m about to describe. It’s the uneasy sloshing in the stomach that you can’t throw up, the solidifying trepidation in your bones you can’t shake off that comes only when you first glimpse Failure rearing its ugly head in the horizon before you.

Yuppie Journals: Updates at last!
06
Mar 2010
So far, I’ve given a brief introduction of what internet marketing is so feel free to check out what I’ve talked about before. This time, I’ll be giving you some basic pointers that will help you on your journey towards earning income online through internet marketing. But before that, I need to warn you that this isn’t going to be a walk in the park. If you think that earning money online is as easy as pushing a button and waiting for the money to come then you are seriously mistaken. It will take hard work, focus and consistent action to be successful with internet marketing. There’s no such thing as an overnight millionaire although some courses or products will let you believe so.

Last time, we discussed the basics of building a small business to augment your retirement fund. To recap, we discussed the requirements for starting a biz: time, capital, research, and balls. I assume that I didn’t have to say that like getting a part-time gig, you’ll also need to put in work into any business venture. Now for this income-boosting episode, we’ll discuss another law of commerce: the Laws of Economics. I know, I know. I’ve been throwing all these important-sounding laws around. Here are the two reasons why learning the laws of Economics are important: you’d need to keep them in mind while you’re choosing the kind of small business you want to go into; and while you’re in the process of pricing your products.
How I Discovered Internet Marketing

Feb 2010
I’ve been constantly searching for a way to earn money online since I discovered the Internet. At first, I was logging on to the Internet for school research. Somehow, I stumbled upon information that tells me I can work online. The offer was tempting, all I have to do is to pay a certain fee and then start doing simple typing assignments. I will get paid in dollars and that time, the dollar exchange rate was starting to sky rocket. The best thing is that I get to set my own schedule and I can work full time at home. It’s everyone’s dream to be able to stay at home and work, you don’t have to worry about traffic or getting up early anymore. So I got hooked to the offer, I signed up and logged in to the site.

In this episode of the Yuppie Guide, we’ll discuss something that most yuppies consider going into for extra income. There are several ways with which to go about setting up a small business and there are several kinds of small businesses you can try out. That said, we’ll limit each option to 500 words and post it in parts so you don’t have to contend with ginormous walls of text. First things first; what is a small business?
Here’s the first part of the Yuppie Guide, the series where you’ll see your extra income options and weigh them accordingly. By this time, you should know that it takes real work to get from Point A (where you are right now) to Point B (where you want to be, preferably retired by 50) and there is some amount of risk with each option. For the first option we have, there is minimal risk and the only capital you’ll need is time and effort. It’s part-time work, people.
The Yuppie Guide to Conquering the Universe
10
Feb 2010
The title says it all and I know, I know, it’s incredibly ambitious. As yuppies (young underpaid professionals) it takes a certain amount of ambition to get to where you ultimately want to be. I’m sure most of you are wondering what “conquering the universe” means, and we’ll explore that in this series of articles. You see, I’ve interviewed a couple of young NOT-underpaid professionals and I’ve learned a thing or two about their world domination plans.
We’re back and as you may have guessed (If you need a recap, click here), I was buried in work by Tuesday and didn’t manage to update until today. I grossly miscalculated on my ability to be an article factory like the old days; I didn’t put into consideration what might happen during my transition from being a total lazy ass to an industrious chinchilla. Imagine it: somebody who’s been lying around the house for a year suddenly gets taken to a labor concentration camp. Wait, that’s a bad image.
Yuppie Journals: Day One

Feb 2010
Whew. Day One of World Domination has come to a close – yep, at 2AM. Entirely my fault actually, since my crazy insomnia prevented me from sleeping last night, then I finally lost consciousness at around 11AM and rose from the dead at 6PM. I have insane sleeping habits, what can I say? We did agree on work hours (I picked 10AM-6PM while the Overlord decided on 1PM-sawa), but seeing as I technically slept through my entire work day, I had to make up for the hours lost and so here we are.
Yuppie Journals: World Domination starts

Jan 2010
Last Friday, the Triumvirate of Evil (Rica, the Overlord and me) met for the first time in two years. We were supposed to meet earlier than that for our annual Evil Cooking Special, but the best laid plans usually are the most susceptible to failure. So anyway, we finally met and discussed a new world domination campaign the Overlord has planned for us; the first phase of which will start tomorrow.
