In case you hadn't realised already, making money on the internet
is a weird and wonderful game...

Despite the plethora of information available on specific methods
and procedures that can allow you to achieve a solid income online,
so many people still struggle, many never making any money online
at all.

The reasons for this are many and varied but we're going to look at
just a few today.

1. This is the biggest and least acknowledged of them all: Mental
Influences - Most people don't make the money they want because
they have mental barriers that prevent them from acquiring it.
Perhaps they think subconciously that if they have more money,
they'll have to spend more money, or that they'll have less time
to spend with their families or theyll become greedy or that they
won't know what to do with the money or they will get robbed or
some other outlandish negative consequence will arise.

These negative belief barriers must be broken down before someone
can have the things that they conciously want be abundant in their
life. Where you are is where you want to be, so the saying goes.
If you've been trying a long time without making any decent money
online, the 'inside' might be the first place to look.

2. Lack of a solid method - While there are a lot of ebooks and
courses available on how to achieve the outcome of online income,
many of them talk theory and fluff while only a few lay out a plan
in exact step by step fashion. Either that or they, give you
instructions but leave out just ONE vital step that makes it so
difficult to complete the process.

3. Competing with the big guys! If you're getting started, its
almost impossible to make money by competing against people who are
twenty times more experienced than you. If you are just getting
started and trying to sell internet marketing products, as an
affiliate, as a product creator, using seo, using ppc, whatever the
method, entering a market where everyone else is better than you is
going to ensure you fail. Even entering other markets is futile,
dog training, acne, pregnancy... they seem like niche markets but
they are nothing of the sort.
People who succeed know how to effectively target niche markets and
penetrate tiny but profitable crevices of the world wide web to
find the easy money. That may just be one of the best pieces of
advice a new online marketer could receive.

The point is, despite the loads of crap out there, despite the
million ebooks, courses, memberships and reports on how to make
money online with so little success, it CAN be done. With a
combination of the right mindset and the right approace, anything,
including making a truck load of cash while working from home in
your undies can become a reality.

Niche Marketing

The term niche marketing means different things to different people.

Generally it is known to mean the developing of websites in sub
mainstream market segments to profit from selling products,
generating advertising revenue or other forms of website
monetization.

Niche marketing is effective because it allows you to operate in
markets that are less competitive meaning you have the potential as
a new or seasoned marketer to capitalize on big opportunities with
relative ease and far less cost.
Particularly for new marketers, niche marketing can be the key to
riches because it allows you to compete on a level playing field.
You don't have to jump into the ring with the heavy weights, you
can develop your skills in the junior divisions before moving into
the big leagues.

If you pick the right niche you can build your site, extablish
yourself as an expert, sell your own products, recommend other
people's products, the opportunities can be endless and good money
can certainly be made.

The trouble is that as niche marketing grows in popularity, many of
the markets we called niche markets are now not so nichey at all,
they're almost as bad as mainstream markets in terms of their
competitiveness and difficulty to profit from.

The markets that spring to mind are things like acne, dog training,
or anxiety. Markets like these, while they can still be profitable
will not make the average web marketer alot of money at all. Even
the more nichey versions, acne treatments, dog training videos or
anxiety relief are difficult for most people to compete in and make
money.

Then there's the other extreme. You can go to the tiny tiny niches
that get almost no search volume. You can find "long tail" keywords
like 'pug training schools in atlanta" or "acne treatments that
work in 2 days". The problem with these are, 1. that they often
don't get enough traffic and 2. they are so specific that even if
you can drive traffic, there isn't much you can do to serve those
people except show them ads. Again this can be profitable if you
know how to do it but it seems like there just has to be an easier
way...

The niche marketers that really make the most money are those that
know how to find the perfect balance between competition and search
volume. Not only that but they know how to analyze the nature of a
niche market to determine how much potential it really has before
they enter it.

By doing this they find markets that can make them big money very
quickly, faster than most people think possible.

Then when they do find markets they know how to make sites that
will capitalize on them as effectively and efficiently as soon as
possible. The result? Big profits, easily, and quickly.

There is no doubt that niche marketing although often a tricky
game, can be wildly profitable when done right.

Baccarat History and American Baccarat Rules

If we put aside the black ties, the velvet curtains and the overall exclusive atmosphere, baccarat is one of the simplest casino games around. In addition, baccarat is a beatable game with a low house edge, which makes it one of the best bets you can make! Here you can read about baccarat history and learn how to play the game.

Both the American and European versions of baccarat and the French Chemin de Fer are late developments of the Italian game called baccara, which means zero in Italian. The origins of baccara go back to an old Etruscan myth. According to the myth, a blonde virgin had to toss a nine sided die to decide on her destiny. If the die landed on eight or nine, she would have to fulfill her destiny and become a priest. If the die landed on six or seven, she would be forbidden to participate in any religious activity. If the die landed on any other number, the virgin had to walk into the sea.

The Italian game baccara was popular among French aristocracy during the end of the 15th century. Baccara had evolved to the European version of baccarat, which is still played in European casinos today as well as the French variation of baccarat known as Chemin de Fer, which is mainly played in casinos in France. The American version of the game was introduced to Nevada casinos in the 1950s by Francis Tommy Renzoni, who imported the game from Havana.

Baccarat still carries an aroma of aristocracy and exclusivity. In American casinos, baccarat is played in a separated area of the casino, hidden behind velvet curtains. Baccarat players are usually dressed up and the betting limits are higher comparing to other table games. In order to attract the medium budget players, a lower limit version of baccarat, called mini baccarat, was invented. Mini baccarat is played on a smaller table, inside the casino gambling area with lower betting limits than baccarat.

How to Play Baccarat

Baccarat is played with 3 dealers and up to 12 or 14 players. Baccarat is usually played with 8 standard card decks. Aces valued as one, face cards and ten cards valued as zero, and the rest of the number cards worth their face value. The suit has no meaning. The object of the game is to get as close to 9 as possible.

The play begins by all players, including the dealer, placing their bets either on the player, the banker, or on a tie. Traditionally, the dealer bets on the banker. The dealer can be the house dealer or one of the players. After everyone has placed their bets, the dealer gives two cards to each player and to the banker.

The score of each hand is calculated as the sum of the two cards minus the left digit. For example, if the sum of the two cards is 15, the score would be 5. The decision whether to deal a third card is determined by a set or rules and it is not up to the player or the dealers decision.
If the score of the players hand is 9 or 8, he wins
If the score of the dealers hand is 9 or 8, it is a tie
If a players score is 7 or 6, he can be dealt a third card
If a players score is 5 or less, he has to receive a third card
If a player gets a third card and the score of the dealers hand is 2, 1 or 0, he must draw a third card
If the score of the dealers hand is 3 and the players third card is any value but 8, he must draw a third card
If the score of the dealers hand is 4 and the players third card value is between 2 and 7, he must draw a third card
If the score of the dealers hand is 5 and the players third card value is between 4 and seven, he must draw a third card
If the score of the dealers hand is 6 and the players third card is 6 or 7, he must draw a third card.
If the score of the dealers hand is 7, he cannot draw a third card.
