If you are a college student or you are thinking about going to college next year, you know a college tuition can be very expensive. And the costs are still going up every year. Statistics show that three out of four students NEED to get a job to pay for college. They also show that this causes stress and that there is a relationship with the number of hours worked per week and lower grade point averages. Student loans are an option, but after you graduate you still have a huge debt to pay off!

But what if you could pay for college without taking a loan, or if you have already taken one out, to pay it off before you graduate. It is possible and what's even better, you can do this without spending any money. I bet I got your attention now. You probably think I'm talking about MLM, but I'm not!!

First, let's take a look at traditional student jobs. You work in a bar, library, ... and for every hour you work you get paid a certain amount of money. These jobs aren't very high paid jobs, so to be able to get around financially, you'll have to put in a certain amount of time! You are exchanging your time for money! And when you have an important midterm or paper coming up, you still have to go to work, because your employer won't give you time off or because you really need the money! This can be extremely stressful!

But there is a much easier way to earn money. Wouldn't it be great if you could make money from the comfort of your dorm or home. All you need is a pc with access to the internet. And the best thing about it is, once you get things going, a lot of it is on autopilot, so when you have an exam coming up, you can afford to skip a week and you'd still be making money. What's even better, no contracts are involved and as I said before, you can do this without spending any money!

What I'm talking about is 'affiliate marketing'. Tens and tens of thousands of companies are selling their products online and most of them work with affiliates. These affiliates send customers to the merchants website and get paid a commission (up to 75%) for every purchase they make. Even if the person you send to their website doesn't buy on his first visit, you still get a commission for every purchase he makes on that website. You can also sell contracts (eg: T-mobile) or memberships, and you'll receive a commission for every month this person is a member!
It really isn't that hard to learn, but it is no get rich quick scheme either. You have to put in work and treat it like a real job or business. You can earn anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars every month working from home. You should spend at least ten to twelve hours per week at this. More is better, but twelve is enough!!

Some would argue that an actors resumes is even more important than his or her headshot. The purpose of this article is to quickly review the central purpose of an acting resume and also what to think about when you are putting one together.

Acting careers: An actors resume should take up precisely one side of one page, and you will usually want to have it stapled to the back of your head shot. This small amount of space is all you have to represent yourself as a multifaceted potential working actor. In order to do that, you will have to do a little thinking about what the auditioners seem to be looking for. Think about the specific show they going to be doing and try to compare it to their previous work. What types of shows do these people typically produce, and what kinds of people do they usually use for the type of part you're trying out for? Once you've considered what they're looking for, the next step is to try and give them what they want. You're an actor, so this will come pretty naturally to you.

The only thing you need to realize is that your acting resume is not an extension of you as an actor, it is an extension of the part you want to play. Don't be afraid to shape your resume to meet the needs of the character. I would never tell you to lie; just list the parts of your acting career in an order which suits the demands of the part. This will hardly take you any time at all to do before each show. Five or ten minutes per audition could very well spell the difference between getting a part or not getting it.
