Volkswagen New Golf 7 2013.

A friend told me about this one. Really amusing:



Already a very successful auto company, I believe Volkswagen is set to make even more money this year. Having cute ads like this one doesn't hurt.

Volkswagen is likely to overtake GM and Toyota in 2014 with sales exceeding 9.4 million vehicles to become the world’s No. 1 automaker!

Make money from your hobby.

I have blogged about how we should run our lives like a business. We should try to increase our revenue while keeping costs down. Like what the blogmaster of Bully the Bear says, there is only so much we can do to cut costs. So, we should consider ways to increase our revenue to build up our savings!

Now, most of us have full time jobs. We could possibly be formally employed in the evenings as well and make it two full time jobs, if our employer allows it. I was doing it for a while at one time.

We could also take on another job that requires us to work only on weekends to make it three full time jobs! We would be very productive but I guess we could be quite miserable too.

Why not make money from doing something we enjoy instead? All of us have hobbies, right? Why not make some money from our hobbies?

Here are some resources I found as I was going through the catalog in BetterWorldBooks.
