In spite of the real estate recession and record-setting energy prices, the art collection market is still partying like it’s 1999. Every shattered record, though, recalls the specter of 1989, when a cooling economy overwhelmed the hot contemporary-art market like a nuclear winter.

A-list artists such as Koons saw their prices plunge, but the hardest hit were small-business owners specializing in contemporary art. In New York City alone, more than 70 galleries folded. Knowledgeable art dealers aren’t waiting around to see if the crash will finally come in May, during the Sotheby’s and Christie’s International annual spring sales of postwar and contemporary art.

Those entrepreneurs are turning to new markets and applying lessons learned in the last downturn to ensure that they’re nimble enough to succeed in either a continued boom or a bust. Burned by that experience, they are now more selective about what they stocks, and won’t deal in works by artists who are are overproducing.

Specializing in lesser-known and regional artists is one strategy as their prices are more stable than top-tier names. Some continue to represent elite names, but manages volatility by boosting prices no more than 10% or so between shows, no matter how an artist fares at auction.

It’s a strategy that worked. When the market was rising, some collectors complained that prices were too cheap and devalued their investments. But when the cycle turned, none of the work was marked down, thus maintaining the prestige and perceived value.

Broadening customer base by focusing on the international market. In the late ’80s high-end art buyers came from the U.S. and Japan; when those economies simultaneously tanked, the art market followed. Now China, the Middle East, and Russia also field wealthy collectors, all of whom are enjoying the effects of a weak U.S. dollar.

Art fairs are another new bright spot, because they bring in new clients and high-volume sales. The main thing is to understand there is a limit to how long people will pay attention. There may be a very nice revenue stream while it lasted. The trick is to know when to move on to the next one.

Here is another way to make money online - signup for YouTube partner program. Just fill out the online application and wait a few hours for approval. You need to have an AdSense account so they you can login to your Adsense for the account you are going to get paid through.

There are a few rules to comply in their terms and conditions. Copyright issues are top on the list. You must upload original content, especially for this partner program. You will earn a share of the revenue that is generated from ad impressions occurring when these videos are viewed.

But according to Shoemoney, he has a lot of friends who are top YouTube users and they are earning peanuts here. For amateurs like us, the money is even more pitiful.

Stock trading is a popular method of making big money, some claim it is even safer than putting it in the bank. The merit of this argument will be for another post.

Basically, you can classify your stock portfolio into two categories: growth or cash flow. I dabble a bit in the stock market but I have no qualifications so don’t think of me as a financial expert, There are simply too many factors for my mind to absorb, like past earnings, net assets, economy, currency, demand, supply, chairman’s outlook, management, etc.

With the internet, stock trading is more convenient and once you get the hang of it, you will be addicted. Among the online stock trading programs, One Financial is worth a look as they promise a great user experience and friendly 24-hour customer support via chat, phone or email.

They specialize in Contract for Difference (CFD) and let you trade on an extensive list of energy commodities.

I think of all the things which you can add value to your home, like retrofitting with new fixtures, furniture, lightings, tilings, painting, cabinets, wardrobes, etc, Decorative Planters are the best option. It is a long term investment, $1 spend on plants can add much more (at least $10) to your property, once they are grown out.

By using planters, your family members benefit from the extra oxygen and lesser carbon dioxide around the house. There are many online sites where you can shop for planters - PlanterIxchange.com is one of them and it is worth checking out because of their extensive products and affordable prices.

With banks imploding and consumers spending dwindling, one safe haven for the market could be in the stodgy industrials sector. Companies that make things such as bolts and studs and hydraulic equipment may sound depressingly unsexy.

Industrial companies are actually reporting healthy sales and profits. And there’s nothing sexier than better-than-expected earnings in this ugly market. Investors believe industrials are a safe haven for those tired of seeing more big bank losses, tech companies floundering, and concerns about weak retail spending.

Fundamentally, they are well-positioned to take advantage of the weak dollar and the amount of infrastructure that will be built out in lesser developed countries.

When it comes to poker, I have a friend who is an expert. He devotes almost all his time online to master poker. I do not know what level he is at currently but I believe he has made online poker lucrative enough to sustain him as a full-time job.

Due to my curiosity on how he or what he is doing, I asked him for some insight into poker and he shared this site, Poker Strategy, with me. I didn’t believe that such a school for poker fanatics exists but it is true.

They claim to be the world’s biggest poker school and they offer everybody a FREE poker education. Not only that, you also receive $50 plus $100 bonus as starting capital to put your skills into practice. I like the fact that we do not need to deposit our own money to test the waters. There is no legal obligation involved, and they do not require a bank account or credit card.

Picking up some extra strategies and techniques is handy. Poker Strategy’s techniques rest on statistical and psychological principles which make poker gambling profitable in the long-run. Get rich quick or “for fun” gamblers should not expect miracles here.

There are many strategy articles, spreadsheets and charts available for your learning. You can also watch professional poker players playing in live-coachings. Learn their tricks, moves and reactions when they are dealt with different cards. Add them to your list of skills and very soon, you can act like a pro too.

Discussion amongst other poker enthusiasts is also encouraged. It is a friendly community where players can interact freely about local games, major poker tournaments or miscellaneous events.

I guess that is why my friend loves Poker Strategy so much - he has more than an even chance of winning. Every match won, regardless of the amount, can make a person really happy and when you know it is because of the skills you have mastered, it makes the feeling even better. In fact, my friend has now influenced me to the extent that I am checking out Poker School every night.

I do not like clutter and the first impression I get from a site must be its cleanliness and user-friendliness. Loud, colorful banners and oft-centered pages really get on my nerves.

My sidebar is still pretty empty and it will be staying like that for a while. It may make the blog look empty and uninteresting but I always believe less is more. Unless your blog is really popular, you can get away with a lot of things, like John Chow.

The advertisements there have taken up all his available prime space but I doubt he is maxxed out yet. He will certainly be coming up with ever more creative ways to increase advertising revenue from his blog. Take a leaf from him if you want to know how to monetize your site. Earning over $30,000 per month is simply amazing.

Yes, the ads make for slow loading but his content is fresh and useful, so I don’t mind visiting his blog every few days. For smaller blogs, the amount of ads

This is a simple yet effective method to promote your blog when you are starting out. The carnivals will give you exposure in the form of high quality relevant traffic and back links. Additionally it will also give you the possibility to interact with fellow bloggers.

Yesterday, I mentioned about the slump in retail. Consumer spending is low, besides all the poor economic news, there is the sky-high prices of commodities, what else is there left to spend on retail at the end of each month? Daily staples take a priority to material needs now.

At this time, if you are in retail, breaking out of tradition and offering a unique experience to customers is the way to go. Conducting more research to find out the popular products and what your competitors are doing are also important. As part of your research, I believe joining online communities is an excellent idea.
