The majority of people are conditioned through their childhoods and their educations to believe that the only way to make a living is to get the right qualifications and then get a job working for somebody else. It is a very rare school which teaches its pupils that they too could be a leader, and open up a business venture of their own. Almost non-existant in the education of youngsters is the concept of a “portfolio career”.

A portfolio career means having more than one string to your bow, and creating multiple income streams, rather than relying on a single job. After all, it is a very unwise investor who sinks all of his money into a single stock; in investing, diversification is the name of the game, as it decreases the risk to your money. Surely the same thinking should be employed with careers.

A very easy way to start building up fledgling streams of extra income involves using the internet. In general, little or no capital investment is required to get you started. All you need is an idea; you need to think creatively about what you can offer the world. But remember you can’t just pick something that you enjoy; it must be something that also has value to others, so that you can meet their needs, and get paid for doing so.

Knowing what people are searching for on the internet, and also what the potential value could be to yourself are really the keys to building financial abundance. Google has a free keyword tool to help you figure out who is looking for what, and other sites, such as the Keyword Academy, can help you figure out whether your ideas are likely to make any extra income for you.

Once you know you have a small topic of interest both to yourself, and to other people (because they are looking for it on the internet) then you can start by writing about it and make a little extra money, a bit at a time in the evenings perhaps, while still holding down a day job. Some of the sites you can write on, and begin building your online empire, include Hubpages and Squidoo, and then you might want to progress to building your own sites. It’s never too late to add new income streams into your wealth reservoir – the time to start is now!

The majority of the public is actually clueless about waste oil furnace technology.  That’s a shame because if more people knew about this the companies who make these devices would not be able to keep them on the shelves.

Basically waste oil furnaces allow you to heat you home or office off used motor oil instead of electricity, heating oil, or natural gas.  This technology takes something that is considered by most to be waste and turns it into something that is valuable.

This technology has actually been out for several decades.  Its not as new as one would think.  Its popularity has increased over the last ten years leading people to think this though.

In the dead of the winter, at least in more northern states of the US, the heating bill can easily rise to $400 a month.  This is for residential applications.  Commercial offices or buildings can be a lot more.  They can be $200 more.

You can imagine how much one stands to save per month or per year if he or she was able to eliminate this costly bill from their bottom line.

Every vehicle that has a motor produces used motor oil.  The quantity varies depending on if it is a truck, diesel vehicle, or piece of construction equipment but they all produce this waste once they have their oil changed.  In fact i would say that millions of gallons of this material is produced every single day.

So what I am saying is that there is no shortage of this stuff going around.  If you put in a little work and look for it you can find enough waste oil to heat any building to you think of.

Most buildings are equipped with oil furnaces but you can also install waste oil boilers if you have a boiler set up.  Either way the whole idea is totally destroying your heating bill in an 100% legit way.

One could say that its a good idea more people do not in fact know about this technology because I am sure that large utility gas companies who lobby against its existence.  Its happened before with other inventions that threatened billions of dollars to companies bottom lines.

Look into it.  Its an expensive investment but a highly worthwhile one.  You can find out more information about this alternative energy technology at The Oil Burners Guide.
