Win the Battle of Relevancy Online with Custom Content

2009-03-10T11:48:00.002-05:00

It's a dog-eat-dog world out there on the Internet. There is the capacity for an unlimited number of storefronts on the web that you'd never be able to find on Main Street. The fact is that there is even more competition for business online than there is in the brick-and-mortar world. This is only going to get more intense. It wasn't so long ago that many people were afraid to use credit cards online. Shopping online was a curiosity; now, it's a given.

The battle of relevancy online is the battle of one site being more useful than another. In the growing virtual marketplace, it isn't nearly enough to just have a number of products and hope for the best. Look at Amazon.com reviews;they are core to what has made that site grow. A glowing Amazon review can do a lot for a product's sales. Web surfers use Amazon reviews as much as they use a review in the local paper, if not more. Reviews have made Amazon a relevant and trusted resource for a department store's worth of products.

Not every site can hope to have the same review structure as Amazon. A number of affiliate sites use Amazon reviews as their own content. Web surfers are getting savvy to this: they can smell an affiliate site. Why not just go to Amazon directly? The battle for relevancy, then, is to become something as trusted and vital as the major sites online. You can't necessarily wait around for people to write reviews, and the process may not even apply to your site, so a site owner needs to provide content of your own.

Another word for relevancy is usefulness. It has been shown that the longer a person sticks around on a site, the more likely he or she will make a purchase. Even if that person doesn't make a purchase the first time to the site, the site will have left an impression. People are looking for information on a product or service as much as they are looking to make an immediate purchase. Web surfers like to be informed shoppers and the web gives them an unlimited amount of places to get this information.

This is where your site comes in. Don't make a web surfer click off your site to find information on a producy;give them the information right on site. This means you should have articles available about any and all issues affecting a particular type of product or service. There can be hundreds of potential topics on one type of product, and a site may have dozens upon dozens of products available.

Not only will this type of information keep your site relevant to web surfers, it will be relevant to search engines as well. With content, these make up your target audience: search engine spiders and real people. If you provide relevant content that speaks to both, your site can compete with the giants.

Automated Stock Trading Robot Makes Money!

2009-03-05T12:10:00.003-06:00

Three years ago, Jason Kelly was hired as chief programmer for a small European hedge fund. The fund had just been given $2,000,000 in seed capital and intended to create some kind of software technology that could accurately predict the financial markets.

He was relocated to Switzerland where he was to lead a team of three developers in a small office on the outskirts of Zurich.

This had never been accomplished before. No one in history has ever used computers to consistently beat the stock market.

But this fund was in a special position...

The owner of the fund was a guy from California named Dr. Robert Finn. Before starting the hedge fund, Robert was very wealthy but also very bored. He got rich (the first time) by starting a company in 1970 which he sold out to Coca-Cola just three years later in 1973.

As part of the deal, he had to sign a "non-compete" agreement with a duration of five years.

After that five years ended, he went back in business and built up another company which was soon acquired by the giant AMF Corporation.

After that, Robert developed proprietary GPS tracking software for Palisade, Inc. ...and in the first year... they did $51 million in sales with that product.

This guy was a pioneer in the field of "Artificial Neural Networks" and was even a professor of Artificial Intelligence at Stanford University.

And Robert used his pioneering university research to build software for some of the world's largest corporations. He helped Audi build the first computer system inside a car; his software was even used in the first email spam filters in 1999.

At the age of 59, continuing his research at the University just bored this guy to tears. This time he wanted to use his research to build something truly amazing! He wanted to use his artificial intelligence technology to build an automated "Stock Trading Robot"that could accurately predict exactly what stocks were about to rocket in price.

You see, the robot doesn't go for the 'big one' by taking big risks. It only takes a 'little' - a few hundred dollars on each trade. And so, each day, the robot downloads data from the stock market. The robot then uses this data to construct a chart of each stock over the past seven days, and these charts are referenced against the encrypted trading patterns held in the robot's database.

James Holt was another major part of the team that developed this robot. He's one of the world's most successful day traders and works for JP Morgan Asset Management. He was hired by Dr. Robert Finn to use his knowledge and experience to program the robot. So, in effect, the robot trades just like James Holt, a world-class day trader.

What's more, while doing all of this, the robot watches what pricing patterns lead to massive upwards swings in the stock price. If it see's a pricing pattern continuously producing large gains, then it adds these patterns to its database.

For more information about this robot and how you can claim your part of today's highly fluctuating market and perhaps recoup losses beyond your control, CLICK HERE.

After you've had a chance to try this out, come back and leave me a comment about your experience with it. I'm sure others will be interested, as well!

Jimmy D. Brown on Promoting Other People's Products

2009-03-05T11:50:00.003-06:00

I ran across this article from one of my favorite internet marketers and wanted to share his wisdom. Enjoy!

How to Make a Fortune Promoting Other People's Products
By Jimmy D. Brown of "Affiliatenaire"
.........................
There must be a reason why some affiliates succeed and some fail, a reason why some affiliates profit moderately and some affiliates profit substantially.

There must be a reason.

There is.

And that reason is this: "super" affiliates start, sustain and strengthen relationships with subscribers.

It begins and ends with a list. Even a small one can be a powerful, profitable mechanism if you follow these 7 guidelines...

1. CAPTURE THE OPTIN FIRST.
Instead of sending traffic directly to your affiliate link, send them to YOUR site where you offer some kind of list for them to join. (Hint: Mini-course works best) Once you have them on a list, they become an asset. If you send them directly to an affiliate page and they don't buy, they're gone forever.

On your list, you can follow-up with them indefinitely.

Note: You can even redirect them to your affiliate link AFTER they join your list, effectively getting them where you wanted them to go in the first place.

2. DIFFERENTIATE THE OFFER.
Instead of sending out the same, tired, lame advertisement that every other affiliate in the world sends out, write your own.

Trust me when I say that many people find it OFFENSIVE when they receive two dozens duplicate emails from two dozen list owners all promoting the exact same thing in the exact same way.

And even if they don't find it offensive, it's not as effective if you simply rinse and repeat what everyone else is doing.

Hint: Here's how you differentiate...

3. SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.
Nothing - nothing - nothing speaks louder than RESULTS. If you want to lose a few pounds, who do you turn to? Someone who is still struggling with their own weight or someone you've seen drop 35 pounds? Exactly.

The way you make your mailings / ads different is you speak from your own personal experience. This product or service that you are promoting as an affiliate, how has it been useful to you personally? What results have you personally achieved? When you used it, what happened?

Note: If you haven't personally used the product, then shame on you for trying to make a quick buck from it hocking it to others!

4. OFFER A COMPELLING INCENTIVE.
Another way to be different - and to dramatically increase your chances of getting a sale as an affiliate - is to offer some kind of compelling incentive if someone buys the offer through YOUR referral link. Whether it's a special report or access to an audio recording, personalized consultation or advertising, a private training call or existing products and services, this can be a highly effective method of converting fence-setters into paying customers.

In order for it to work well, it must be UNIQUE (I.E. You're the only one making the offer) and USEFUL (I.E. Something of great perceived value to the reader).

Note: Don't have anything to offer? Don't worry! There are many ways to easily obtain extra incentives: conduct an interview, hire a ghostwriter to create articles / reports for you, buy reprint rights to other products, assemble a bunch of free articles and other resources into a private access site, etc.

5. LOOK FOR RESIDUAL OPPORTUNITIES.
Rather than exhaust your efforts on purchases that give you a one-time commission, why not make the most of your marketing by looking firstly for offers that pay out ONGOING monthly commissions for your referred sales?

There are many different residual income generating services such as membership sites (ranging from PT Cruisers to weight loss), stock photos and clipart, hosting, autoresponders, databases (from hiking trails to sermon outlines) online magazines and a variety of other subscription based opportunities that reward you with monthly recurring commissions.
While you definitely want a mix of types of affiliate programs to promote, your priority should be in identifying and promoting those services and programs that will pay you month after month, instead of only one time.

6. BUILD A SALES ARMY.
One of the biggest untapped sources of income in any list is that of "turning subscribers into partners". In other words, find those on your list who are interested in making money and provide them with training and materials to promote affiliate programs as well.

This has a two-fold advantage for YOU:
* First, if you find 2-tier affiliate programs, you can get your subscribers to join the program through your referral. Anytime they get a sale, you'll earn a commission as well. You effectively get free commissions from their effort.
* Secondly, you can use their efforts to build your own assets.

For example: If you provide them with a 10-page report to give away to promote their affiliate link, you can include a page in the report promoting YOUR list! You effectively get free subscribers from their effort.

7. MONETIZE FOR MULTIPLE STREAMS.
As your own list continues to grow, you certainly want to diversify in your offerings. (Not to the point of bombarding your list with offers every day of course!)
* Promote other affiliate programs.
* Create your own products. (Even short $10 reports will earn profit!)
* Establish joint ventures.
* Co-author products.
* Cross promote.
* Conduct surveys.

There are MANY ways to make money from you list and keep your list growing, growing, growing!

Remember, it all comes down to: starting, sustaining and strengthening relationships with subscribers.

And that's how you make a fortune as an affiliate promoting other people's products.

"Magic Code" Makes Money for Your Site!

2009-02-28T10:17:00.001-06:00

Just Released: A new "Magic Code" that, when added to any site you have, causes your site to magically start making money.

No joke! This discovery was made by a New York doctor who, for the last 10 years, used to secretly to do everything from offset his advertising costs to just adding it to 1000s of webpages to amass a personal welath now of nearly $100 million cash.

Now, he's decided to allow you and everyone else to share in this secret, since he stands nothing more to gain by keeping "you" in the dark about it.

As it turns out, a number of the largest online firms such as Alexa and even a good number of the top 100 sites ranked on the entire Web are already using this amazing but very simple secret.

Alexa, for instance, adds this code to a number of their webpages and it allows them to automatically generate an "extra" $90,000 a month in profits - and for just a single webpage!

You should instantly recognize the fact that, since a firm like Alexa, as well as about 34% of the Web's 100 sites, use this, then you too should be using it.

But here's what may SHOCK you the absolute most:
* It takes just 45 seconds to add this code to any webpage.
* Once added, you do NOTHING further -but money just starts pouring in!

Just in case you think this isn't for real, firms like Alexa and others in the top 100 wouldn't be using it!

If you are wise and want to make your webpages pay you money automatically by adding just a simple string of 1-line code to any webpage, then you had best go here immediately:

>>>>>>>>>>>>http://vur.me/martiself/mc-cb

Why the need to RUSH? Simple!

The guy giving this out is letting just about another 500 to maybe 600 people, at best, find out about this and then he's deliberately going to "pull the rug from underneath" anyone else trying to get in it!

I know, I know...that sounds very cruel and unfair, but that's his doing. So, rather than argue, it would probably be a better idea to just go there and grab it so that at least "you" don't get left out in the rain, right?

But fair warning: in case you stumble upon this too late, just don't be shocked to see it's no longer available!

See you on my Success Team!

Create Articles Through Public Domain!

2009-02-27T15:07:00.004-06:00

There are many webmasters that find writing articles for their site to be a very tedious task. Many people who need to write articles also procrastinate as much as they can to delay the amount of writing they need to do. Many people dread writing articles because they find researching for the topic and writing down original materials too taxing on them.

You need to have your creative juices flowing, and simply downloading an article would be plagiarism. Have you ever heard about public domain? These are articles written by many authors that have declared their works to be public domain, which means anybody can use it for whatever purpose they want.

While most authors would prefer to copyright their work for their rights, there are also a number who doesn’t mind sharing their work. Public domain articles are not owned by anybody and can be used and abused by anyone. The writers have waived their rights to their works and it is out there for the public to make use of.

You can use public domain articles in helping you write your articles. With the public domain articles, you can simply edit them to your own style and rewrite them as you please to make it suitable for your needs. All the ideas are there already, and it's just a matter of finding the right article with the topic or subject you need.

This is probably the easiest way to write articles. You don’t need to scour around the library or the internet for hours for information and start an article from scratch. For webmasters who are looking for articles to fill their site and to generate a high ranking for their website in search engine results, they can just modify the article by infusing keywords and keyword phrases related to their site.

A webmaster or website operator does not risk any chance of getting sued for copyright infringement because they are public domain, once again meaning that anybody can use it.

Writing articles by using public domain wont require as much work as writing one from scratch would. You save a lot of time also.

One good factor in using public domain articles for your site or for any project is that you save a lot of money. You dismiss the need to hire experienced and seasoned writers that some website operators use to write their articles. While a single 500-word article would only set you back $10-$15, this cost will drastically increase when you need hundreds of articles to fill the needs of your site.

For those who needs articles to generate newsletters or an e-zine, public domain articles will be very beneficial. You do not need to count on your contributors or pay writers to write articles for your newsletter or e-zine. You can fill all the pages without any cost or the worry of being sued and sought after by the writers. You can simply copy the articles and place them on your newsletter and e-zine.

Public domain articles are a virtually untapped resource, and many people fail to realize the true value. The power of articles, keywords and keyword phrases has been deemed invaluable these past few years for many internet-based businesses and sites that want to rank high in search engine results.

The number of article and content writers have grown significantly due to the rise in the demand for articles. As newer and newer topics and subjects have arisen, there are many demands for new articles to be written. An industry has been formed and this is a worldwide demand.

Public domain articles have given a great alternative for those who are cash strapped as well as do not have the time nor the skills to do their articles for themselves.

Searching for public domain articles is as easy as 1–2–3. You can search for them in search engines and do searches in many directories for the topic or subject that you need. Read them, copy paste them to a word processing program and simply edit them to suit your needs!

Three Things To Do Before You Submit to Article Directories

2009-02-27T15:01:00.002-06:00

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills.

With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers. This is why article writing, submissions and publications are also getting more and more popular.

There are already many tools that people can use to make the process of distributing their articles more easily. This is invaluable in getting the contents more exposure but is only half of the story.

Let us take a look first at the common mistakes that some people make before submitting their contents to article directories:

1. Confusing the reason to promote the articles with the reason to write them.
In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them: branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization efforts.

But there is only one reason why you write an article, and that is to inform your audience. If the article is not focused on this primary and most important purpose, it will fail to achieve the three promotion benefits because no one will be interested in reading them.

You need to figure out first how to get people to read what is in your article, then make them click on your resource box. You can achieve this by producing better contents.

2. Failing to maximize the promotional opportunities of article marketing.
You may know already that your articles can help you generate additional links back to your site. But do you know that you can get more visitors and better search engine results from those same articles?

Mention keywords at strategic places; just be sure not to overdo them. Some are even using anchor texts, which is also an effective method, bit it is important to know that majority of the directories are not able to support this.

Remember that is not only about the links back to your site. Part of doing well in your article marketing is getting picked up by publishers with a large number of audiences and gaining the ability of leveraging other brands because of the quality of your work. Better search engine results also are great benefits.

But these things do not put much money in your pocket. There are other factors that can turn your article marketing efforts into an opportunity that can boost your earnings, not just increase the number of visitors to your site.

Start out with a plan and see to it that your article will serve the function that you intended it to have.

3. Publishing content that does not help your readers.
Maybe in the process of writing articles, you are thinking that all that is you wanted is links back to your site and any visitors it can generate are fine.

Guess what? Not all article banks and directories are going to accept your content automatically. Oftentimes, they have some guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are accepting.
You can double the number of sites you can submit to by writing articles that the directories want to share with other people.

All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousand readers to increase your potential audience overnight. Write the articles that publishers want in their publications if you want your article marketing to work the most effective way for you. This also means you have to obey the standard guidelines, spell checks, researching on a good topic, and perhaps even hiring a writer to produce a good content on your behalf.

In the end, it is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting a little exposure from increased links back but on a very basic level or enjoy massive exposure from a little extra time making quality contents.

It will be your choice. You may not be aware of the fact that an article submitted on directories is not meant to have the same level of exposure as highly-targeted content ones geared on a narrow group of people.

Learn the difference between these two and it will surely help you know what kinds of articles to write and to submit.

To Your Success!

Heroes In Their Hearts

2009-01-31T16:16:00.006-06:00

We are all fascinated by heroes and what moves them to action. Do we have a hero within? Of course, we do – it’s motivated by our passion! Here are some heroes of today that you may not know.

BARRY DOYLE:
Barry Doyle owns a small restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina called Barry’s Café. While working the breakfast shift at his restaurant one icy morning in 1994, Barry got a call from the local fire department that crews had been working a blazing tractor-trailer crash for hours and were hungry. Putting himself aside – as heroes do – he gathered coffee and biscuits for the firefighters and headed out to the scene.

Thus began Feed the Firefighters Foundation, which has provided some 35,000 meals to firefighters throughout Wake County. Barry’s Café now has a fully equipped mobile kitchen which he drives to firefighting scenes and, with the help of his wife Denise and their teenage daughter Catherine, dispenses hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and other grub to grateful firefighters.

From his heart, as a hero does, Barry Doyle has reached out to those people who serve the community with selflessness and is a perfect example of “the power of one.” You can join his efforts at Feed the Firefighters.

MICHAEL BLOWEN
Hundreds of racehorses meet violent ends every year. Retired racehorses that have earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for their owners will be euthanized because they can no longer race or because they have been injured on the track. Many are abandoned because their owners no longer wish to maintain their upkeep.

Michael Blowen thought this was just flat wrong! His love of horses developed from his first visit to a racetrack in 1981. Volunteering in stables, cleaning and grooming the horses every day before going to his job in Boston, he was strangled him by the desperate cries of unwanted horses as they were loaded into trailers destined for slaughterhouses.

In 2001, he and his wife Diane left their jobs in the city and moved to Kentucky, borrowing $1 million to purchase the land for Old Friends Equine, the only rescue farm that takes stallions. Remember the movie “Seabiscuit”? The horse that played Seabiscuit is Popcorn Deelites, a resident of the Old Friends Equine rescue farm! You can help support this hero’s non-profit efforts at Old Friends Equine.

DR. RANDY CHRISTENSEN
Homeless teens are a growing population in America – and Dr. Randy Christensen made the heroic decision to treat these teens for free in his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. For the past eight years, this crusading doctor has spent the bulk of his time cruising the streets of Phoenix in his mobile health clinic, Crews’n Healthmobile, offering free medical services to more than 7000 homeless teenagers.

Dr. Christensen offers a “safe haven” for local teens who have fled abusive homes or otherwise intolerable environments. With his staff of seven, he treats teens for everything from skin infections to asthma. He has also engaged the services of other local physicians to whom he refers the teens he cannot treat in his mobile treatment center.

Although he could enjoy a lucrative private practice, Dr. Christensen feels compelled to help homeless teens. This hero provides referrals for housing, food, GED resources, substance abuse, employment, legal services and health insurance. “I’m helping a population that has no options,” he says. “This is what practicing medicine is all about.” To support Dr. Christensen’s heroic efforts and the Crews’n Healthmobile to make these “invisible citizens” feel cared about, go to Ways of Giving.

MAJOR DAN ROONEY
Armed with the conviction that no soldier’s family should have to suffer further setbacks after the loss of a loved one, Major Dan Rooney, having served three tours of duty in Iraq as an F-16 pilot, has raised over $3 million to fund college scholarships for families of service people killed or disabled in war.

Based on Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Folds of Honor Foundation was born after Major Rooney experienced a life-changing event when he was part of a mission returning a fallen soldier to his family. He vowed then that he would change the future of a grieving widow or a fatherless child. Folds of Honor provides scholarships to spouses and dependents of America’s miliary personnel who have given the ultimate sacrifice or became disabled in the line of duty.

Major Rooney believes that “The greatest measure of respect that we can bestow upon a fallen hero is to step up, step in and support that solider’s family; to open our hearts, extend our embrace and lend a general hand” in a selfless manner to make any patriot proud. To further this hero’s efforts, tax-deductible donations can be made by contacting Folds of Honor.

ADAM BENDER
I love kids – but I especially love brave kids! I was told once that “If it’s not hard, it’s not brave.” No one exemplifies that more than Adam Bender! This nine-year-old cancer survivor makes us all stop and reflect on what we can accomplish.

Diagnosed with bone cancer at the tender age of eight weeks, Adam underwent months of chemotherapy before his parents made the heart-wrenching decision to let doctors amputate his left leg when he was only a year old. Undaunted by what others would consider an insurmountable setback, Adam rejected his artificial leg for crutches and, at only three years old, was able to send a soccer ball flying! Today, he plays soccer, baseball as catcher, and flag football as quarterback, and has recently begun wrestling. His dream is that others will see that a physical challenge can be overcome when, as he puts it, “you have the desire and you believe in yourself.”

An inspiration to everyone, Adam has started an organization to help kids with physical challenges be able to participate in sports. The mission statement of the Adam Bender Foundation is to “educate youth sports leaders and schools on the opportunities and benefits of involving physically challenged children in mainstream team sports,” among other objectives. To make your contribution to this young hero’s dream, go to the Adam Bender Foundation and, in Adam’s words, “Let us play!”

My hope is that we will all be inspired to see more in others – and ourselves – and look past the “obvious” obstacles to success! Find your passion and become your own hero!

Filsaime Releases The 7 Figure Secrets and Gives It Away Free

2009-01-28T09:11:00.008-06:00

Back in February of 2007, Mike Filsaime held a secret Private Workshop at an undisclosed location. Over 100 people paid $5000 for the Workshop. He then took those DVDs and sold them in record fashion, under seven days, to 2500 people. Since then, over 3000 people have paid for that information.

The success stories that followed have changed the face of Internet Marketing. For instance, Filsaime, with his 37 staff members, will do $10 Million this year in sales - and he is credited with showing other marketers how to grow a seven-figure business.

Recently, Filsaime hired one of the Workshop attendees, a "Top Gun" IM expert and copywriter to watch all 16 DVDs of "The 7 Figure Code"Workshop and condense it. The result is an 85-page report with no fluff, just straight-ahead advice, guidance and action plans - and great way to spend an hour! The fun thing is this is the very information those 100 people paid $5000 for to sit for three days in a Workshop.

Mike's original plan was to sell the booklet for $297 and was planning on selling 3000 copies in seven days. These booklets are already printed and spiral bound and are at the warehouse ready to ship...but Mike has changed his mind. He's going to GIVE these away; all you pay is shipping, which is about $8.

Now, as if that isn't enough, he's going to include in this shipment Rich Schefrends' Strategic Profits process maps AND a copy of "The Butterfly Marketing Manuscript 2.0." The two items alone are valued at almost $300 - and he's giving them away with "The 7 Figure Secret." Now, I personally think the guy has lost his mind, but I took advantage of his "momentary lapse of reason" - and I recommend you do the same thing!

So, if you want "The 7 Figure Secrets" for FREE along with the process maps and "The Butterfly Marketing Manuscript 2.0," CLICK HERE NOW

To your success,
Marti

P.S. - The site just went live. So make sure to get your copy ASAP shipped to your door. When the pre-printed copies are gone, you will not be able to get your hands on this.

Protect Your Affiliate Links!

2009-01-26T14:40:00.007-06:00

So you have finally stepped into the world of making money online! You, too, like others, have decided to start with the affiliate programs; also, you must have heard that it’s not a big deal to make good money with affiliate marketing, provided you choose the right programs and do some strategic planning while promoting your affiliate products. So far, so good.

Whether you are promoting other people’s products or promoting your own products doesn’t matter because after all it is nothing but your own business and your means to earn good money. So whichever be your case, I am sure you would not want to leave money on the table and invite others to steal your share of profit.

Even though the industry of affiliate marketing is pretty competitive, if you are cautious and are strategic in your marketing techniques then, it could be very profitable for you.

Take a close look at the industry and you will see that not everyone who gets into affiliate marketing is successful. People who are doing well leave no room for failure and take all security measures and understand the importance of this.

Yes! Security is one of the key factors in affiliate marketing. If you do not adopt proper security measures, then your business will be at high risk. One of the most important ways to restore security is to protect your affiliate links. Do not take them for granted! A bit of carelessness on your part with regard to affiliate links may cost you a lot of dollars.

Do you know the long complicated links that you send to your prospective customers not only look convoluted, but they can create a lot of problems, as well? If you send such an affiliate link to your customers, then the smart ones will definitely figure out that you are promoting someone else’s product and they would rather visit the parent company; also, if your link does not function, then your customers have to type a really long URL into the browser, which will definitely put him or her off.

You could be a victim of even a worse situation. What if some devious Internet pirates steal your affiliate links and replace them with theirs? If they do that, then you get no commission at all.

Did I scare you off with all of the above possibilities? Well, that certainly wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to open your eyes and state facts that actually happen in the world of Internet. It happened with me until I came across this awesome program that brought a revolution to my online ventures.

Go To The Top Of The Stairs

2008-11-29T11:36:00.005-06:00

Have you ever seen a child when they spot a set of stairs for the first time? Do you think they concern themselves with whether they will fall or what Mom will say – or anything else, for that matter? Of course not! They see the top of the stairs as an ultimate goal and nothing is going to deter them from it. Talk about focused concentration!

We should all apply this simple theory to our dreams and aspirations: look toward the top of the stairs and refuse to see any obstacles to getting there! Imagine the exhilaration the child felt at the top of the stairs, what joy and excitement! All they had thought along the journey was “I’ve got to get to the top.” Those of us that are parents have seen our children do this fearlessly (that’s right, the fear is all OURS!).

Just as children do, we as adults need to make dreaming, a sense of amazement, courage, risk-taking, and fun a part of our lives. In so doing, we are able to create a courageous mentality that will empower us to achieve beyond our most outrageous expectations!

Be willing to act as a child and step out of your comfort zone. Try something different today! Your courage muscles need to be exercised. Think of something that is completely outrageous and DO IT with the abandon of a child.

Does a child think about the rent? Do they think about where the next meal is coming from or what they are going to wear? Of course not! They act on faith that all things will be provided – AND THEY ARE!

If you need an awakening – and most of us do – take a two-year-old on a walk and see the world through their eyes. Take the advice of Shel Silverstein and just “listen to the voice that speaks inside” and know that “anything can happen; anything can be.”

In the words of Winnie the Pooh, “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”

Use that courage, strength and intelligence to start your own business today. Click on http://www.mailboxmoney101.com/ for a free report on a business that allows you to earn while you learn. This could be the start of your way to the top of the stairs!

The Courage To Be Who You Are

2008-11-29T11:17:00.003-06:00

Are you an owl? Are you a dolphin? Are you a peacock? Are you a panther?

I’ve recently read “Conquer Fear” by Lisa Jiminez, a work I’ve mentioned in other blogs. According to her book, behavior psychologists have determined there are four personality styles. Although there may be a mixture, one is always dominant. To summarize the findings, the owl is detail-oriented, dolphins are natural givers, peacocks are natural socialites, and panthers are natural-born leaders.

In reading her book, I discovered who I am (okay, I’m the owl – no secrets here!) Discovering who you are is key to having the courage to be just that – WHO YOU ARE! Believe me, it’s worth the read – a very introspective journey into your own belief systems and how they impact your life.

We are all equipped with everything we need to make our lives work for us, and we all have inborn impulses that urge us toward our goals. Our core values are the motivating factor behind all decisions that we make and all actions that we take. As Lisa Jiminez points out, “Your time, efforts, thought and energies must be spent on your highest values in order to create a life you love” – having the courage to be who you are!

There is power in knowing who you are and what you want. When you have defined those principles, you start to act on them and can make every day of your life more fulfilling than the last – and you will be SO glad to start each new day! Realize the desires of the heart and act in accord with them. After all, you get what you REALLY want!!

The key to that prayer is to be absolutely clear on what it is you want, because clarity carries power as its partner. If you know what you want and are clear on that point, you can eliminate all fear and begin to attract opportunity to you. So, know what you want, write it down and dream about it. You won’t believe what happens!

Money Gives You Choices

2008-11-29T11:14:00.004-06:00

My favorite thing is choices – no matter whether it’s an array of soft drinks, a lavish buffet or which TV show to watch because of the many options offered by cable! But none of these options are possible without money. Money gives you choices!

Many people are limited in their thinking by believing that “Money is the root of all evil.” They are poor Bible students. The Biblical quote is, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10). Remember that the Supreme Being has always intended your wealth – YOU are the one in the way of your own riches!!

People tend to limit their monetary success because “There’s not enough hours in the day.” Well, I’ve got BIG news for you! God in His infinite wisdom gave us a day that IS enough time – it’s up to us to organize that gift of time. I have a sampler on my wall that says, “Your talent is your gift from God; what you do with it is your gift to God.” This applies to every aspect of our lives, for we all have a talent.

But making money is not a talent and it’s not a trick! It’s a mindset! If you focus on making money, you will succeed; if you focus on the problem of making money, you will fail. It’s that simple. Find your passion and run with it - the money awaits!

Ignore the naysayers, for they are just the envious. Remember the Bill Gates rule: “If your idea hasn’t been laughed at three times, it’s not creative enough.” Surely, if we garner even that bit of the wisdom from this self-made billionaire, we are on our own road to success and riches!

General Normal Schwaarzkopf reminded us in Desert Storm that “You always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.” It is a part of the Universal Goal that you have wealth and riches; the hard part is applying yourself to the process.

Taking Control of Your Wealth

2008-11-29T11:11:00.002-06:00

Control and the desire for it is an interesting part of our psychological makeup. When my children were teenagers, they referred to me as “C.F.” in the presence of their friends. That was their way of “respecting” me while calling to my attention my biggest downfall – I’M A CONTROL FREAK!

This caused me to investigate what I was trying to control. Was it my surroundings? Was it just a way of rebelling against standards imposed by others? Did I believe others are not as smart as I am? Did I believe I was the only one with the answer? Or was control my perception of having the final say in a situation, whether to my benefit or my detriment – just control?

The one thing you DO have control over is what you believe! Do you believe you are beautiful? Do you believe you are a great cook? Do you believe you are an important artist? Do you believe you are a born salesman? Do you believe you can succeed?

Your belief system is the key to control over your life. You can use all the visualization techniques available and read all the positive-thinking books offered, but you have to change your beliefs in order to change your perception of control. I love it when people say, “Oh, it’s all in your head.” What’s a more dangerous place than that for beliefs to reside?

Remember that anything you learned (like the need for control) can be unlearned through changing your thoughts and behaviors. Behaviors are only changed when the belief systems that support them are changed – and that takes work!

Know that your subconscious mind is all powerful. When it detects fear (absence of control) based on your belief system, your subconscious mind will do everything and anything to keep you from achieving your spoken goal. Any time you attach fear to a goal as a limiting belief, your subconscious allows your fear to overcome your desire to the extent that you loose control over your achievement.

So, choose to take control of your beliefs and you will take control of your life - and while you’re on the way, choose success.

Overcoming Fear

2008-11-29T10:49:00.005-06:00

Psychologists tell us we are all born with three inherent fears:
* Fear of falling
* Fear of loud noises
* Fear of abandonment

But there's another fear that stops most of us in our tracks. Do you know what it is? Is it fear of failure? Nope! Is it fear of poverty? Nope! Is it fear of being "taken in" by a sales pitch? Nope!

The most powerful fear, much more limiting than all others, is fear of success. Yep, most people are afraid of success. We believe success will either complicate our lives, drive away less successful friends or, more compelling, require us to aspire to even higher levels in order to maintain our "status."

In my list of favorite books, you will see "Conquer Fear" by Lisa Jimenez. Get it and read it! She points out that fear is relative - what may be fearful to me is not in the least fearful to you! All fear is based on our belief system, which was long-ago implanted by our parents, our friends, our mentors, even our friends. Learning to overcome the negative believe system we are taught is the greatest challenge any of us face. Our beliefs ARE our reality!

Once we have identified the source of our limiting beliefs, it's time to take action to change those beliefs. Trying something new is an important start to breaking through those limitations! When my children were small and not willing to try new food, I didn't "make" them like it just because I had cooked it. Instead, we had a "no-thank-you helping" rule - two bites and if you don't like it, don't eat it! They were encouraged by this to try something new, rather than reverting to the "I don't like it" that so many children (and adults) engage when something new is put on their plate - figuratively or literally!

If procrastination, forgetfulness or avoidance of challenges are self-sabotaging traits that you can identify inyourself, those are dominating your path to riches. Take them on one at a time and slay those "dragons" in your life.

A productive first step is to investigate opportunities for an online business (you've been thinking about it, right?)! Click on http://www.mailboxmoney101.com/ for a free report on a business that allows you to earn while you learn!

Burnout or Newbie

2008-11-29T10:36:00.004-06:00

Are you an online business "burnout" or are you a "newbie"?

If you're a burnout, you've probably tried many online businesses promising you overnight riches. If you're a newbie, you've probably been tempted by those offers. Either way, there is NO TRUTH to offers of overnight riches. The only overnight riches are the money these people make from YOU, the opportunity seeker.

Any online business is like a brick-and-mortar business to the extent that you have to work at achieving your own success - and you have to spend time and, yes, money to advertise your opportunity to other like-minded folks who are looking for a way out of their paycheck-to-paycheck life.

So, the question is which business and how much money do you spend! A Google search of "home based business" or "business opportunity" will yield a myriad of sites to investigate - all promising something to entice you into their product/service. So, how do you choose?

The first thing you have to do is research - yes, more work! There's lots of "hype" on the 'net to filter through, so you have to establish a criteria for a "real business search." A few things you should look for are:

1) Do they have a contact link where you can actually speak to a person?
2) Do they offer a money-back guarantee? (Read the disclaimer carefully for this!)
3) Do they offer a training program or a product that you buy and then you're on your own?
4) Do they have a solid business model?
5) Is it a good fit for you and your current tech-savvy skills?

Now, if you're in the proverbial financial bind that so many are experiencing today, you are particularly vulnerable to predatory sales copy - probably more so than any other time in your life. So, be cautious of those sites thath "tell you what you want to hear" - there are no magic genies or instant cures.

With careful research and a predetermined maximum that you can afford to invest in an online business, you will narrow the field of opportunities and make a more logical decision for what is best for you and your family in your current economic situation.

Remember, if someone else has succeeded, SO CAN YOU! Never give up on your quest for a way to improve your life and the life of your loved ones!
