INVESTMENT 7 Ways to Get Ezine SubscribersAn ezine is pointless (except, I suppose, for self-reflection) if you don't have subscribers. There are hundreds of ways to add to your subscribers list.

Are you the person in charge of the majority of family financial management decisions? For many people, that prospect is about as enjoyable as an emergency appendectomy on your first day of vacation. However, handling your personal finances does not have to be such a daunting job. There are many tricks, tips, and tools to make your financial life easier, more profitable, and more secure. Before you can make any decisions, you need to get a full picture of your finances.

INVESTMENT Do You Pay Taxes On eBay Income?Q: I read your last column about paying income tax on eBay sales if you are doing it as a business, but as someone who only sells on eBay occasionally I'm still confused if the IRS rules apply to me. Can you tell me more?

Across the top of the form put the months:
Jan. Feb. March April, etc.
You get the idea. Save the form as your financial document for the current year e.g. "Financial Report 2007." (You will be able to see a completed sample spreadsheet on our website. Check the web address at the end of this article.)
Now fill in all of the data you have for the year so far. Everything. Every bit of income. Every expense you can possible track. Every bit of money you have invested. Done? Great job!
Now add all the figures in each section income, savings, and expenses for each month. You should have a total expense figure for Jan, Feb, etc. You should have a total income figure for each month and a total savings figure for each month. You will need this information to figure out your budget.

Sometimes, the higher the price the better. Certain goods are better highly priced to attract customers who would never dream of purchasing below a set limit. An ebook offering secrets of internet marking may not sell at $9.99 because the buyer considers that it can't be offering much at that price. Increase the price to $49.99 and it could well be Clickbank's top product for the month.
