Grand Canyon University sponsors a website called GetMyBusinessDegree.com. Non traditional degrees are booming these days and schools that once shied away from doing online training are jumping in with both feet. It makes you think the “carping” was all just to give the big schools time to “catch up”. GetMyBusinessDegree.com exists to educate people about [...]

I’ve been blogging about how to make money with iphone applications.  You can see the related links below in fact. Well, today I ran across something that would make an EXCELLENT iphone application.

“How To Get Free Government Grants To Train As A Nurse If You’ve Been Laid Off” was a surprise. With all these “Stimulus Scammers” out there trying to hype the latest Congressional catastrophe, this is NOT like that other junk on the market…. those 1 in a million (or worse) “grant opportunities”.

Economists looked down on the unregulated, unlicensed markets of the world because they worked at state funded institutions and regulated markets, essentially, paid their salaries. Unregulated markets know economists and weather forecasters [...]

There’s a sudden interest in gardening these days… and as a result people are wondering if they can turn their gardening aspirations into a gardening business. Perhaps you can relate to this. Probably one of the most enjoyable thing for gardeners is watching new plants grow. I love it when one of my plants I [...]

I published a test book on Kindle last night. It was one I bought reprint rights for. I published a second one that I personally wrote today.
