Section C 26 The American economic system is organized around a basically private enterprise. Its【 B1】 _econom
18、y in which consumers determine which shall be produced by spending their money for those goods and services. Private businessmen,【 B2】_to make their profits, produce these goods and services in【 B3】 _with other businessmen, and the profit【 B4】 _, operating under competitive pressures, largely【 B5】 _
19、how these goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers,【 B6】 _with desire of businessmen to gain more profits and the desire of individuals to【 B7】 _their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are
20、used to produce it. An important factor in a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and【 B8】 _by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a system in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of co
21、nsumers. If the product is in short reply relative to the demand, the price will be a bit up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market. If, on the other hand, more supply of products results in reducing its cost, this will tend to【 B9】 _offered by sellerproducers which in turn will lower
22、 the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system. The important factor in a private-oriented economy is that individuals are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services fo

In the American economy, the concept of【 B10】 _embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including determining the price or making a free contract. 27 【 B1】 28 【 B2】 29 【 B3】 30 【 B4】 31 【 B5】 32 【 B6】 33 【 B7】 34 【 B8】 35 【 B9】 36 【 B10】 Se

AVirt
30、ually everyone has the knowledge they need to make a fortune. Everyone has an interest, hobby or has knowledge about a particular subject. It could be anything, and I really mean anything! Everyone has knowledge that someone else wants. The problem is that most people have no idea how much their kno
31、wledge is worth because information online is worth much more today. BThe internet has become a force to be reckoned with. This monster of mass consumerism is ever increasing and does not seem to be slowing down. U. S. consumers spent $748 million on online content during the first half of 2003, rep
32、resenting a 23 percent increase over the same period in 2002. With the rate that the internet is growing, just imagine what the figures look like today. CLast year, Jupiter Research forecast that paid-content web revenues will grow four-fold by 2006, from $1.4 billion to $5. 8 billion. The crazy thi
33、ng is many people are only just waking up to this reality. Gone are the days when all websites offer their data free of charge, now the hottest information is reserved for those who pay! DSo if you have a hobby or interest you are the perfect candidate and I have two words for you subscription websi
34、te. So what exactly is a subscription website? Well, it is a site that charges members a fee to enter the site and view the specialist content. And what do they all have in common? They are bringing in a steady, recurring cash flow for their owners, month after month, from a few hundred to tens of t
35、housands of dollars with an endless array of topics. Having a successful paid membership site is one of the best ways to make money online. A thriving subscription site can give you the steady income of a chief executive but without the work or stress levels! EFor example if you had just 200 people
36、paying you just $20 a month, you would have a steady cash flow of $4000/month, month after month, rain or shine. Many people achieve this in the first month or two that their site is up and running. However, thats just the tip of the iceberg. Many people have member only websites that produce 5-10 t
37、imes that amount of money! Choose the right topic and this could happen in your first 2-3 months. Lets be honest, a steady cash flow is the key to financial security which is why the website is so superior to any other form of online product. FA subscription website is a combination of doing what yo
38、u enjoy and sharing that knowledge with those who will truly appreciate it. The best subscription websites are run by those who have a passion for the subject matter they are supplying. This is the most critical decision youll have to make. Choose the right topic and youll have people rushing to giv
39、e you money to enter your site, you will have no problem up-dating the site with new information, and in turn the site will remain fresh and exciting. Find a topic that you are passionate about, and the odds are that enough other people are also passionate about the topic to make it a successful mem
40、bership site. Since you are going to be spending time and effort building and maintaining your membership site, doesnt it make sense to choose a topic that you enjoy? GBut why would people want to pay for information when you can find pretty much anything at all on the net without any cost at all? I
41、ts simple, the search for the info you require can be long and tedious. People are really paying for convenience. They want up to date information and they want it now. They also want the information to be comprehensive and original. They want to know that they can come to the site and that a partic
42、ular topic will be covered thoroughly. They will genuinely learn more about the topic they have an interest in. So why havent more sites jumped onto the paid-content bandwagon? A big reason has been the popular misconception that consumers wont pay for content on the web. And where did this erroneou
43、s concept originate? From badly conducted research studies done by marketers and the media in recent years, practically all of these surveys asked people who currently receive information and services on the web for free if they would pay for these services. Naturally, they gave the same response th
44、at anyone with any sense would give, which is: “I dont want to pay for something that I currently get for free.“ HThe market is ripe and ready for those who catch on to this momentous idea. Exceptionally high perceived value is the ultimate key. The paid online content offered must be so useful that
45、 users will be thrilled to gain access to it, will say “Wow!“ When they do, and will experience instant value for money the very first time that they use it. IThe best part is still to come! A subscription website can be run from home and once set up it pretty much runs itself. Software is available
46、 to run almost every element of your site automatically and membership software programs can reduce your workload by 75% that can only be good news! This funnel shows how the reader goes from browsing free content to being a paid subscriber. When a prospect enters a websites funnel of free content,
47、they discover that to reach the most valuable content, they must cross the barrier to becoming a paid member. Topic ideas for a Subscription Website: Newsletter Topics JIf you already publish a successful newsletter, you are most likely a perfect candidate for a Membership Website. Placing your news
48、letter content, archives, and resources online in a “subscribers only“ website usually enhances the perceived value of your print newsletter to both current and potential subscribers. Career Advancement KPerhaps the most frequent topic for successful subscription websites is career development. This
49、 includes sites that provide advice, tips, how-tos, resource libraries, etc., about specific business skills or professions such as management, marketing, business start-up, financial services opening up a huge range of business opportunities. Successful career advancement sites usually focus on a very specific niche topics related to earning a living or bettering ones career or business skills. Personality Based Inside
