Making Money: The Supplement 
A few years ago, I published and GAVE to my readers
Making Money: The Techniques of the Gurus 
also known as
. It’s a publication that has many different names by nowbecause it’s been downloaded so many times and distributed all over the place, somemarketers have claimed it as their own. And I don’t mind really. I was giving it awayfree for people who really wanted to learn how to have their own business and get theirown piece of the revenue that circulates the internet daily. This report is a supplement to the information that was presented in
Making Money: The Techniques of the Gurus 
. There are always going to be changes, especially on theinternet. The information presented a few years ago is still effective for the most part.But, I have reviewed that information and found new techniques, changes in policyand other bits of information that you will find valuable in addition to any informationpresented previously.
Lulu.com
Lulu is a great place to publish books and sell them today. That’s right! You canactually publish your book and make sales on it today. The process is quite harmlessand it’s a step by step procedure that spits you out at the end with a finished book.It’s free. It doesn’t have to cost a thing. But, if you want it to be a legitimate book with an ISBN and a useful distribution package that includes Amazon, Barnes & Nobleand a few other features that help quite well, you will have to purchase that package. That’s an entirely different aspect from doing it for free. But the bottom line is that atno cost, you can have a book published and ready for sale in about five minutes if youhave the book already written and everything else is ready for publication. The change that I would like to report from
Making Money 
is that you no longer haveto provide them with a pdf. You can upload a document in various formats and thesoftware will make the pdf for you. Now for as long as I can remember, it’s been that way. So, I have no idea why that information is incorrect in my previous publication.Lulu.com

Gimp.org
If you have written your own book or designed your new website, chances are that youneed image manipulation software. In fact, that’s what GIMP means…GNU ImageManipulation Program. Basically if you have an image that you would like to alter sothat it looks better for your website, then you want to download GIMP. In years past, Ihave been spoiled by great programs that let me take images and add shadowing, put words on them, animate them or anything else I wanted to do to them to make themmore attractive for my site or manuscripts.I’ve layered images on top of other images and combined them for maximum effect.I’ve made them into oil paintings and literally lifted them off the page with all kinds of lighting or motion effects. But, imaging software is getting more and more expensive.Every time I have to buy a new computer, I have to reinstall software and sometimes Idon’t have it any more. So, am I going to buy new?No, I’m going to download GIMP because one, it’s free and two, it has all the featuresthe others do. Once you learn the software, you see how easy it is. The only difficultycomes with the advanced level of image manipulation you are attempting. Lifting words off the page with a shadowing effect might take some tinkering because thereare so many settings that will allow you to make the shadow as perfect as you want.
Scribd.com
Chances are if you are reading this, then you know all about Scribd. So, I’m notattempting to preach to the choir. But, the functionality of Scribd is what makes itmost attractive to me. Live links in a document stay live when converted to PDF. Thedocument can be downloaded and distributed to my list or it can be embedded in my website. If you did not get this document from my docs on Scribd, then check out thesite because you can really use it’s functionality as part of the new way you dobusiness.Scribd.com
