Are You Famous or Focused?

Are you famous or are you focused? Let's start with "famous". When people look at you, what do they say that you are famous for? Are you famous for procrastinationnegative wordspoor time managementWhat are you famous for?

Let me share with you what I am famous for. I am famous for consistent, structured, focused daily strategies and techniques to live a victorious life. I knowthat is a pretty strong statement! You see, I would rather be "focused" than famous. I am focused on success.

Millions of people world wide watch shows like "Who wants to be a Millionaire" or "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". The interesting thing is that everyone sitting on the couch with a bag of popcorn watching these shows are broke. Why? Because they are famous for sitting back and watching shows on other people being famous. How about we flick the switch in life from famous to focused.

Stop dreaming of other people being famous and start being focused on your own destiny! You must laser-focus in on your success and demolish procrastination and create action. Demolish resolutions and create results! Let's demolish fear and create faith!

How is this all possible by simply being focused. How do people become gold medalist, super bowl champions, etc? They take charge of their lives, hire a coach and become focused. What are you? Who are you? Where are you going? How are you going to get there? More importantly, why are you not focused?

Those that know their "Why" are very focused.

How to Raise Self Esteem: Part Two

In this second part of the article about how to raise self esteem I would like to introduce you to a wonderful technique from the field of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) known as The Swish.

Using this technique you can re-program your thought processs to move away from the unwanted behaviour (i.e. I am a useless person) towards a healthier thinking process such as, I am learning to be more resourceful. Its one of the quickest ways to re-direct your habitual thinking patterns!

To give this process a go right now please answer the following simple question:

Think of a specific situation where you feel low-self esteem, for example standing in a long queue or speaking in public or asserting yourself with someone.

Become aware of the first picture you see through your own eyes just before you feel the crappy feelings. Well call this the cue image.

Now put that aside for a moment and ask yourself the following, If I were to think of something that made me feel good how would that feel now?

Its important to remember that this doesnt need to be something perfect. The question is, Does it feel better than the low self esteem feeling? If youre having difficulty accessing a good feeling try the following:

Think about your favourite pet/animal.
How many things can you feel gratitude for?
What is your favourite food?
Who do you admire?
Which music turns you on?
That feels better right? So if you were to symbolise that good feeling what would it look like? It can just be a colour if you wish!

Notice that when you look at that symbol and make it bigger and bring it closer and crank up the colour and brightness it makes you feel even better doesnt it.

So the next step to re-program you mind is about to begin!

Picture that cue-image again if you will. You know the one that cued up the crappy feelings. Bring it closer and make it bigger and brighter.

Now in the middle place a small, postage stamp sized image of the good feeling symbol.

This is the exciting part; the actual swish.

Imagine zooming the crappy feeling cue image off into the distance, noticing it getting smaller and dimmer as it goes off away from you.

AND at the same time bring the good feeling symbol closer and make it bigger and brighter.

Then blank the screen. Simply imagine youve blanked your inner mental screen. Some people seen a big black board or others see a white screen.

Do the actual swishing several times until you can imagine doing it in less than half a second.

The final steps are to break your current state: Think of something totally different like what you ate for breakfast or do times tables in your head.

And now think of the original cue image and notice that your feelings have changed!

I have used a simplified version of the NLP Swish technique in this article because the standard procedure utilises the visualising of a desired self-image which I know can be quite challenging to achieve if a person is feeling very low. The full step-by-step version of the technique, along with many more tips, can be found in The NLP ToolBox and The Half-Second Rule.

Low self esteem and its associated victim behaviour have a tendency to re-enforce themselves resulting in a person suffering with feelings of low energy. To break out of these kinds of habitual patterns and raise self esteem it is necessary to do something different. Anything else to break the patterns!

The NLP Swish technique is a very effective tool for breaking out of destructive patterns along with NLPs many other useful change methods.

Writing an e-Book 101: The Complete Guide

Introduction

An eBook is an ELECTRONIC book - a file containing all the information that a hard book would contain. eBooks are downloaded directly from a secure library online to YOUR computer.

The most common file format for an eBook is a PDF which can be opened in Adobe Reader (a free PDF reader), however, you will be doing the actual "design" of your eBook in a word-processing program like MS Word (a part of MS Office).

If you have a complex design that includes lots of illustrations, you may wish to use a desktop publishing program such as PageMaker or Quark. Also, if you want to add more features to your PDF document, such as hotlinked URLs, forms, or pages imported from other programs, you should purchase the Full Version of Adobe Acrobat. It is well worth the price, particularly if you expect to create more than one eBook. More in Step 6.

Now, the paragraph above is beyond the scope of this eBook guide. Since MS Word is the most commonly used word processing program, this guide will focus on formatting in MS Word.

Now, with all that said, let's get started.

Choosing a Topic

It goes without saying that you should pick a topic you believe other people would be willing to part with their hard earned cash for. It should not be a subject overly done or where there are already vast amounts of useful information already available. Often times, finding a small niche audience willing to pay for your information is better than trying to compete with dozens of other more common subjects.

List all of the Topics in which you are knowledgeable

To help you find a topic, make a list of all the things you could confidently write about. Do you have hobbies or skills that others would be interested in? Do not make the mistake of assuming that because you are knowledgeable about a particular subject, others are too.

Find a Niche

The trick is choosing a niche. Do not write a book which appeals to everyone. Focus on a specific area and you are on your way to success. Why? Because when you target a niche market, you already have a pre-qualified market ready to buy your products.

What information do people want? The answer to these questions, and others, should be your main focus. You need to focus on what they don't have, sometimes you even have to tell them what it is that is missing and why they need it, and when you give it to them, they will reward you financially. Don't be discouraged if the niche is already quite popular, this could be an advantage to you. A popular niche is proof that there is already a market, and money to be made. Just be sure that your product is superior to the competition or has a differing twist.

Research the Chosen Topic

After choosing a specific area of interest as the topic of your eBook, the next step is to spend a reasonable amount of time researching that topic. How much time, you ask? It really depends on how much you already know about the topic. What is important here is you want to be an expert in your chosen niche. At this stage, it is easy to get lost among the huge bank of information on the internet. So it is very important to get organized.

While researching your subject, collect all the information you possibly can, and put it into a specified folder on your computer. Then when you feel you have all the information you need, you can proceed to bring it all together in an organized manner. This will make your eBook much higher quality, fluent, and easy to read.

Go to Wordtracker or Overture and see how many times people a month were looking for what you want to write about. This will give you an idea if it is a viable product. Also do a straight search in Google and Yahoo for your keywords, and see what turns up. Investigate some of the sites, you may be surprised that you have a completely different slant on the information you want to present in the eBook which is a good thing.

Create an Outline

Now that you have a good idea of what you are going to write, the next important step is to write a detailed outline of your eBook. This is the single most important step in the whole eBook writing process. The outline serves as the backbone of your eBook. It represents your ideas and flow of thoughts. Write the outline as detailed as possible.

Start with Choosing a Working Title

Why? Because it gives you a focal point. Spend time on it, as it is something you should keep coming back to for inspiration. Always make sure you dont deviate from it. Otherwise you'll end up with an eBook where the content doesn't match the title. Jot down a few different titles, and eventually, you'll find that one that will grow on you. Always remember, a great title is what sells, not your content. Period.

Next, write an Opening Statement

Begin your outline with an opening statement or Introduction. Your opening statement might tell your readers a little bit about what they are going to learn or may be a statement in regard to the subject matter. You also need to grab their attention early on and the best way to do this is to make them feel that you have all the answers regarding the topic. After all, why did they buy the book? Make them feel they made the right decision and that you know what you are talking about.

Followed by a Foreword

Your Foreword might include information in regard to who you are, your credentials, copyrights, and what you want your readers to learn.

List the Main Points

Next, refer to the folders where you stored all of your information, choose from your organized lists, and start writing headings, one right after another. This is a great way of breaking the job down into manageable pieces and tackle them one at a time making the writing process a little easier. Its also a good way to expand on your overview and see if your headings address everything you wanted to cover.

Fill in the Spaces

Once you've completed your outline and are happy with your list of headings, you can begin filling in the spaces. Write your text in small blocks and leave a space between your paragraphs.

Keep it Simple

A great tip given by many when it comes to writing is to start and don't stop. Write down everything that comes into your mind. If you try to think too much about what you are writing, you will forget important information and it will take you much longer to finish.

Picture your perfect audience for your eBook and write to him/her! Write to your reader, not for your reader. Write as if you are talking to the person. Use the language as you would when talking to your friend. Forget about having proper grammar and linguistic structures for your paragraphs. Just get your thoughts and ideas down! If you are stuck in a particular chapter, move on to the next. Don't force yourself to write that chapter and slow down the whole writing process. It is easier to come back and try writing that chapter again at some other time. You may have new thoughts and ideas which can help you proceed. An important point to remember here is DO NOT EDIT! Just focus on writing.

Most importantly, keep it simple! The average adult only reads somewhere around an 8th grade level, so don't write as if you've just devoured two dictionaries and a thesaurus for breakfast! Write as if you were in a conversation with an average everyday person.

Editing your Work

Now is the time to re-read and edit your work. Read it through several times and be sure to check spelling and grammar errors. If it's hard for you, the writer, to read and understand then it will probably be impossible to others!

Give it to a member of your family or a good friend and ask them to read it through and give you an unbiased opinion as to whether they understand it. If they don't, why not? If necessary, re-write portions of the whole thing, then go through this step again.

Write the Table of Contents or Chapter Titles

The final step will be to either create a Table of Contents or go directly into creating your Chapter Titles. If you're writing your information in the form of a how-to manual, you may want to use a Table of Contents. This will enable your readers to quickly locate important information. If you're writing your information in the form of a book, then you can leave out the Table of Contents and simply use Chapter Titles.

Whether you're using a Table of Contents or Chapter Titles, write your titles so that when they're read, they tell the story. In other words, when you scan your titles they will give you a step by step description of what your information is all about.

Formatting the eBook

A badly formatted eBook will alienate readers more quickly than a badly designed print book. At best, it will look amateurish; at worst, it will be difficult to read or "navigate." Fortunately, you can create a professional "look" with just a few simple Word commands. You'll need to consider the following elements:

Choosing a Font

It's best to use non-serif fonts such as Arial or Helvetica. Use a minimum of 10 points for your text, and 12 to 14 points for subheads. Keep in mind that the reader can increase the display size of your book when reading it onscreen. Since some fonts look better onscreen than in print, and vice versa, test your fonts both ways.

Margins

Use Word's "Format: Document" command to set margins to a minimum of three quarters of an inch on all sides. You may wish to set top and/or bottom margins slightly larger if you plan to use a header and/or footer. Since eBooks don't have "left" and "right" pages, turn off the "mirror margins" option.

Headers and Footers

Place a "running header" at the top of each page. The easiest approach is to simply include the title of your book and the page number. You can place this information flush left, flush right, or centered or place the title flush left and the page number flush right. We recommend using a slightly smaller font size for the header, and (if you like) using italic or bold. We also like to use the "border" command to draw a line between the header and the text. Another option is to put the title in your header and the page number in your footer.

To make sure that your header doesn't appear on the first page of each chapter, you'll need to use the "Insert: Break: Section: Next Page" command (rather than a page break) to separate chapters. Then, make sure that you've checked "different first page" in the "Format: Document: Layout" menu. You can also create a new header for each chapter (e.g., using the chapter title rather than the book title); to do this, turn off the "same as previous" option in the header command.

Adding Illustrations

One nice feature of an eBook is that it doesn't cost extra to include photos, drawings, charts, etc. If you have a scanner, you can scan your own illustrations and convert them to .gif or .jpg files. A program like Photoshop will enable you to crop, enlarge, or reduce those images, or make other modifications. It will also enable you to save them at a lower resolution, thus reducing file size.

While Word does allow you to incorporate illustrations in your text, it's not always easy to position them precisely where you want them. If you plan to use a lot of illustrations, you might want to consider using a desktop publishing program like Quark or Adobe PageMaker. When laying out photos or illustrations, be sure to leave an ample margin between the image and the surrounding text, and, where appropriate, include captions.

Last page(s)

The last page(s) of your eBook is a good place for an index, your bio, contact information, etc. It's also a good place to include advertisements for any other eBooks or products that you are selling.

The Big Finale

Somewhere along the line you have to decide that your eBook is finished. There will always be something that pops into your head later on... that little snippet that you'll wish you would have used. Don't worry about it! You can edit your eBook and resubmit it to Iggler. We'll always be glad to update the PDF on our site.

Creating the PDF from MS Word

To generate a PDF file, use the "print" command in Word and select the "Save as File" option under the "General" pull-down menu. Select "Acrobat PDF" as the file type and set "Destination" to "File." Hit the "print" button and your document will be converted to a PDF file.

If you actually own Acrobat, you can add other useful features to your eBook. For example, you can automatically hotlink every URL in the text (be sure to include the http:// prefix on all URLS). We recommend underlining links or formatting them in a color, such as blue, so that the reader will easily recognize them as hotlinks. Don't bother hot linking URLs in your original Word document, as these links won't be retained in your PDF file. You can link your table of contents directly to the text. You can also import pages or files from other programs, including charts and illustrations. If you plan to import files, leave a blank page in your original document, to be replaced by the imported page; otherwise, your pagination will be incorrect. You can also set various protection levels for your book including a restriction on printing, though we don't recommend this!

Submitting your finished eBook to Iggler.com

Finally, you're done! I'm sure you have a great sense of accomplishment!? Everyone does when they finish their first eBook. Now it's time to make some money! Fortunately, Iggler does this part for you :)

Submit your eBook to Iggler at www.iggler.com/sell.html and earn 50% commission on your eBook. Now that's worth the effort, huh?

Prevent Goal Fatigue

Set your goal? Planned your course of action? Taking massive action towards your goals? Having written so much about the value of setting goals, what it means to us and how it gives us a direction in our daily lives, I'd like to pause and think about the unthinkable...goal fatigue.

We set aggressive goals at the beginning of the year only to falter and stop executing our actions. Why is that? Several reasons:

1. We fear failure.
2. We lose faith in our goals.
3. We change our goals.
4. We lose sight on the importance of our goals as we go through our daily lives
5. We get tired of executing and need a rest and the momentum slows down

Let me just write a little note about the last point, that we get tired. Have you ever felt that you have been executing your actions daily and feel that you need a break? I have. I realised that I had been executing day-in and day-out, feeling exhilarated by my daily achievements. I pushed myself far and beyond what is really necessary. Then the inevitable...goal fatigue.

Suddenly you feel that you need a break from this execution and just stop doing it for a while, get away from it.

This happens when you do not spend enough time to rejuvenate yourself. How do you do this?

Your goals need to be balanced. If you focus only on wealth creation goals and neglect the other aspects of your life, you will feel that life is not that enriching. I wrote earlier about taking one step at a time, and therefore, start with only one goal and work on it. At the same time, you should also set goals for your family, as an individual, spiritual goals, health goals, wealth goals, career goals. Setting it doesn't mean you need to execute all of them at the same time. Setting it means that you have a view of what you want in the various aspects of your life, but start execution on one goal first, until you get into the habit of execution, then start on your second goal.

Without writing the other goals, you will feel that your life is narrowly focused. As you begin executing one action at a time on one goal, remember this very important point: "Life is a journey. Totally immerse yourself, reflect and be completely aware as you execute your action. Enjoy the execution.". Doing this will give you the joy of experiencing the journey with your goal in mind, instead of simply executing and not enjoying the execution. This is what is meant by "slow down, stop and smell the roses along the way".

As you enjoy your journey, never lose sight of your destination. Constantly read, review your goals on a daily basis. Remember the old saying, "Out of sight, out of mind". If you do not review your goals daily, you will soon lose all interest in your goals and stop enjoying the journey.

Enjoy everything you do with passion and full awareness and enjoyment of the journey, and you will never experience goal fatigue.

To your success in your journey...cheers!

The Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication. There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word "free" because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day. Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do. Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving...

Requirements Of A Vocational Training Center

Once the basic formal education is over the moment of concern arrives. The confusion about choice of vocation causes a lot of tension in the minds of parents and the youth. Those who have clear goals of academic achievement and the means to realize it would go ahead and continue with their higher education in the formal line. Those who want to make a career in time and begin to earn well in time would choose a career oriented vocational training.

There are various economic groups that would choose to be trained in a skill that would give them sustained income and some amount of economic security like the middle class people, disabled, socially disadvantaged and those with high edge technical aptitude who wants to excel in that. A Vocational training center provides opportunities for these sections of people. A vast majority of educated youth choose to earn early and settle in life at the earliest.

Requirements of a vocational training center:

A vocational training centre should, first and foremost, should have a clear vision about the target group. A clear statistical knowledge of the candidates it targets, their economic background, their requirements, the average educational qualification of the local demography are some of the things to be known about the potential trainees. Secondly, the management should brainstorm and implement those trainings that are most taken by students.

The courses provided should be well integrated. Theory should complement the practical training and not the other way around. For vocational training the curricula should be for its most part filled with practical exercises, assignments and project works. The theory part should be just to fill the comprehension gaps. Besides providing training in house, the students must be given exposure in companies and industries. Placement services can be integral to a vocational training centre.

Infrastructure for Vocational Training Centre:

The center must provide the proper infrastructure for the students. The building design must suit the course requiems. A vocational training centre would dedicate more space for the laboratory and work room with proper equipments. Students residence and staff residence requirements must be met if the center provides training for resident students. Space for games, entertainment and recreation must be taken care of.

Project X Affiliate Marketing the Hype, the Hoopla, the Scam

The Hype

Let me be perfectly clear. When I received an email to purchase Project X, I deleted it from my inbox! I promised myself that I wasnt going to buy one more worthless product that wasn't going to put any money in my pocket.

The Hoopla

Are you like me? Fed up with all of the internet marketing ads that flood into your inbox? Are you tired of the endless opportunities that arrive on a daily basis to your email? I am so tired of every click flip, uncut, jerk this, butterfly that, tag, ping, money making scheme designed to make someone else rich.

The Scam

I was fully prepared to live my life without Project X. Then two of my friends, who make their living on the internet, started calling to tell me how great Project X is. They raved on and on until I finally relented and bought Project X. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that I'll just do this to prove them wrong, give it a try for 8 weeks and then get my money back.

The Truth

I'm here to tell you I admit it, I was WRONG! Project X is the first product in a long time that delivers on its promises! It's not only great for seasoned marketers but also for newbies just starting out. Often internet marketing products are either designed for total newbies and are paced way too slow for seasoned marketers. The same is true on the flip side. Products developed to challenge experienced marketers, are expected to move along at a fast clip and divulge lots of never before seen tips and tricks. Project X does both seamlessly. And I never felt I was being talked down to or that anything was over my head. Its very rare to find a product that can do both.

The author, Chris, offers six secret methods to launch yourself headfirst into affiliate marketing. Of the six, one is perfect for those just starting out or for anyone who doesn't have ready cash to invest. This method requires no domain purchase, no hosting fees, no websites! Too good to be true? The author claims that if you're willing to work, you can easily be making $40 - $200 a day 30 days from now! I believe him and Im no push over. Even as an experienced marketer, I found several jewels of information in Chris book that I have ever read anywhere before. Never even thought of before! Light bulbs were going off in my head as I was reading all his new ideas.

I had never heard of Chris before (so there was no name recognition here!) but after reading Project X from cover to cover, I have to tell you that I really like him. Why? Because he doesnt waste my time filling his pages with fluff. Project X is only 50 pages long. 50 pages of fast paced, blueprint methods. Best of all, its not all about Adsense. For anyone looking to get into multiple streams of income, this is the book for you. All for $97. I cant tell you the number of worthless products that Ive bought for twice that price and more!

You dont have to buy Project X, but others are and thats who youll be competing against in the days to come Do you really want to lose this advantage? I encourage you to do yourself a favor and get Chris book before he gets smart and raises the price.

Why So Many People Fail In Affiliate Marketing

More and more people are lured into affiliate marketing and you might be one of them. Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the most effective means of generating a full-time income through the Internet. Its a fair deal between the merchandiser and his affiliates as both benefit from each sale materialized. Like in other kinds of business, a great deal of the profits in affiliate marketing depends on the affiliates advertising, promoting and selling strategies. Everyday, as affiliate marketing industry expands, competition heightens as well so an affiliate marketer must be creative enough to employ unique and effective ways to convince potential buyers to purchase or avail of the products and services offered.

Compared to traditional advertising practices, affiliate programs are more effective, risk-free and cost-efficient. But why do many people still fail in affiliate marketing? There are a lot of reasons and a lot of areas in the program to look into. The most critical aspect in the affiliate program is advertising. Many affiliate marketers fail in this aspect because they lack hard work, which is the most important thing in affiliate marketing and in all other kinds of business as well. Although it pays to be lucky, you cannot merely rely on it. Affiliate marketing isnt as simple as directing customers to the business site. If you want to earn big, of course, you have to invest time and great amount of hard work in promoting the products. As earlier mentioned, the competition is very high and customers nowadays are very wise, too. After all, who doesnt want to get the best purchasethat is, to pay less and get more in terms of quantity and quality.

Lack of preparation is also a reason why one fails in affiliate marketing, whether he is a merchandiser or an affiliate. Part of the preparation is researching. On the part of the merchant, he has to be highly selective in choosing the right affiliate websites for his affiliate program. In order to be sure he has the best choices, he must have exhausted his means in looking for highly interested affiliates whose sites are sure fit to his products and services. The affiliate sites visitors must match his targeted customers. On the other hand, the affiliate marketer must likewise research on the good-paying merchandisers before he signs up for an affiliate program. He must ensure that the merchants products and services match his interests so he can give his full attention and dedication to the program. He can get valuable information by joining affiliate forums, comparing different affiliate programs and reading articles on affiliate marketing where he can get tips from experienced affiliate marketers on how to choose the best merchants and products with high conversion rate.

The website is a very important tool in the whole affiliate program. As an affiliate marketer, you should plan how your site is going to be, from domain name to the design, the lay-out, the content, and ads. Some users are particular about what they see at first glance and thus when they find your site ugly, they wont read through the content even if your site has many things to say and offer. On the other hand, there those who want information more than anything else. Affiliate marketers with rich-content web sites are usually the ones who prosper in this business because the content improves traffic to the site. Websites with high quality contentswith relevant keywords and more importantly, right information about the product and not empty hyped-up advertisementsallow you to earn big in affiliate marketing even when youre asleep. If you wont be able to sustain the interest of your site visitor, you wont be able to lead him to the merchants site. No click-through means no sale and thus, no income on your part.

Selecting a top-level domain name is also crucial to the success of the affiliate program. Lots of affiliate sites dont appear in the search engine results because they are deemed by affiliate managers as personal sites. Major search engines and directories would think of your site as transient ones and thus, they wont list it in the directory. Before you decide on the domain name, know first what you are going to promote. Many fail because their sites are not appropriately named, so even when they feature the exact products the customer is looking for, the customer might think the site is not relevant and thus, wont enter the site.

Above all, an affiliate marketer must be willing to learn more. Certainly, there are still a lot of things to learn and so an affiliate marketer must continue to educate himself so he can improve his marketing strategies. Many fail because they dont grow in the business and they are merely concerned about earning big quickly. If you want long-term and highly satisfactory results, take time to learn the ins and outs of the business. Continue to improve your knowledge especially with the basics in affiliate marketing ranging from advertising to programming, web page development, and search engine optimization techniques. Likewise, study the needs and wants of your site users and how different merchandisers compete with each other.

How Being an Affiliate Marketer Can Boost Your Profits?

Affiliate marketing has become one of the most effective ways to advertise online. It is also one of the easiest ways for anyone with a website to make a profit online. Affiliate Marketing is an agreement between a merchant and a website owner. The website owner, or the affiliate, allows the use of their site for the promotion of the merchant's products by linking to the merchant's website. In exchange, the merchant pays a commission to the affiliate on all sales generated by the affiliate. Every time someone clicks on the link on the affiliate website and proceeds to make a purchase, the affiliate gets a commission. The merchant will pay the affiliate only when a customer clicks on the product link and makes a purchase.

Affiliate marketing programs are described as a win-win situation for both the merchant and the affiliate because of the pay-for-performance scheme. Both the merchant and the affiliate enjoy some benefits in affiliate marketing. There are many benefits on the merchant's side. It gives the merchant a wider market in which to advertise a product or service. Affiliate marketing will give the product or service the maximum exposure that it may not get with other traditional advertising techniques. The more affiliate sites a merchant has, the higher the traffic, which can convert to sales. Affiliate marketing is the equivalent of having an army of sales people who will do the advertising and will only get a commission if a customer purchases.

Meanwhile, since an affiliate marketing relationship is a win-win situation, the affiliate also enjoys many benefits. Foremost among these is the easy way to make a profit. The affiliate can earn by having an ad or link to the merchant's website, which prospective customers will hopefully click and proceed to make a purchase. As soon as the customer clicks on the ad on the affiliate's site, is redirected to the merchant's website and goes on to buy that particular product, the affiliate earns a commission. The more referrals there are the more profit for the affiliate.

Affiliate marketing is an excellent way to earn money while at home. There are virtually no production costs. The product is already developed and proven by the merchant, and all you have to do to find, as many prospects as you can that will bring in the profit for both the merchant and the affiliate. Affiliate programs are usually free to join, so affiliates do not have to worry about start-up costs. There are thousands of products and services you can choose from. You can find affiliate programs for every product under the sun. Surely, there is a product or service out there that is relevant to your website.

In addition, there is absolutely no sales experience necessary. Most affiliate programs offer excellent support when it comes to providing marketing material. The simplicity of affiliate marketing allows you to be an affiliate marketer at the least cost and the most comfort. You can even build a successful affiliate marketing business right in the convenience of your own home. In affiliate marketing, your responsibility is simply to find prospects for the merchant; you do not have to worry about inventory, order processing, and product shipping. These, along with customer service support are the duties of the merchant.

Because of the global reach of the internet, you can easily find thousands of prospects. You can intensify your advertising campaign by exploiting more aggressive and productive strategies such as viral marketing. By attracting more prospects, you also maximize your potential to earn. Another benefit of an affiliate marketer is the minimal risk involved. If the product you are advertising is not making money then you can dump it and choose another. There are no long-term binding contracts tying you to products that are not making enough money.

All the same, the best benefit of being an affiliate marketer is the opportunity to increase your income; and you can make a profit even if affiliate marketing is only a sideline business. With your own affiliate business, you can earn easily earn extra income, although you do have to exert effort and use your imagination to maximize your earning potential. Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the simplest and most effective business opportunities on the web today.

Sexual Infidelity Like 'Comfort Food,' Says Investigator

It may not pass scientific muster, but a leading private investigator has developed a theory linking financial hardship such as that experienced during a recessive economy, with an increase in marital infidelity.

Likening it to other actual, proven science, the recipe for Mark McAlpins adultero solatium (the Latin words for unfaithful marriage partner and compensation, or solace) theory combines raw numbers from his own investigative practice with a bit of arm-chair psychology and an unmeasured pour of biochemistry. Admittedly a scientific lay person, the PI says he has been rolling this theory around in his head for years, and the numbers have consistently evinced his hypothesis.

The theory basically builds on the well-known reliance of stressed or distressed people on the relief found in their indulgence in 'comfort food.'

"The human body wants to feel good. When people face physical, emotional or even mental pain or stress, they normally engage in activities that will either remove the pain or counter it with pleasure. Chocolate, ice cream, booze, a hot bath or log massage, illegal drugs, pick your poison," he said. "Diluted to its simplest explanation its all about brain chemistry. The serotonin effect is a pleasurable response to a situation. People naturally want to feel good. The worse they feel, the greater their desire to feel good. People who are stressed out, upset or worse, actively seek out pleasure to dull the pain. The worse the pain, the more powerful the trigger for pleasure. The most powerful triggers are associated with the greatest pleasures: food, drugs and sex. This theory is only different from the accepted psychological responses in that it rightly includes the sexual and/or emotional pleasure sought from people other than the afflicteds significant other."

McApins theory is based solely on data hes culled from his skip tracing website http://Cellulartrace.com. The site, which offers reverse lookup phone number traces, has always counted infidelity investigations among its customer's top reasons for ordering his services. But the investigator says search requests based on suspicions of a cheating spouse have greatly increased during periods of economic stress. He has also mapped increased search requests from geographical areas particularly effected by negative economic factors.

"The post 9/11 economy absolutely buried us with requests," McAlpin recalls.

Although customers dont always confess the reason for the investigations they request, McAlpin says trends are pretty easy to spot.

"When the vast majority of searches are suddenly women asking you to investigate other women, it is pretty clear what is happening. When investigations involving people seeking info on people of their same sex jumps from 70 to 90 percent in the weeks following 9/11 or a ton of new customers from the Palo Alto area spring up after the first round of HP lay offs, its pretty hard to dismiss the trends," he said.

McAlpin said he has seen similar increases in cell phone lookup requests in other geographical areas following disasters and major layoffs or plant closings.

"There are obviously smaller examples of this, but I dont look into every increase from every area. There are clearly layoffs, factory closings and fires and other disasters all over the country. Im sure the theory is exemplified in those situations, as well," said McAplin.

It has been statistically shown that in the vast majority of suspected infidelities, the suspected parties were in fact cheating. It stands to reason then, that the more suspicion of infidelity, as evinced by such requests for information for that stated purpose, the more actual cheating in that area. And with a spike in cheating following an economic or emotional blast, the benefit of whatever doubt is sure to come from professionals in the field of the human psyche should certainly be given to the adultero solatium theory.

The lack of definitive detail and corroborating outside evidence supporting the theory will surely lead some to dismiss the merits of the hypothesis. But McAlpin says this doesnt bother him in the least.

"I have no plans to write a dissertation on this, I just find it interesting. If this theory helps someone discover a potential infidelity, or better yet avoid hanging a scarlet 'A' on themselves or seeing one on their spouse, great. If those in the behavioral field see some merit, maybe someone will conduct some research that will bear the seal of scientific approval. For me it is just an interesting footnote to the way I track business trends," he said.

The investigators popular website http://Cellulartrace.com has helped thousands with infidelity advice including recognizing the signs of a cheating spouse, how to catch them, and the phone number tracing investigations he specializes in.

Can You Succeed Without An Affiliate Marketing Progam?

You've seen them. The websites that tell you they'll make you rich and allow you to tell your boss exactly what you think - as long as you give them some money first, that is!

They can be very tempting. After all, who wouldn't pay $49 if it meant learning how to make thousands a week? Most of them assure you that without their help, you have no chance of becoming a successful affiliate marketer. But is that true? Or is it possible to work out what to do on your own?

It can be argued that yes, it is possible. After all, what do these programs really tell you? That it's a good idea to build a website? How to drive traffic to your website? How to write a good sales pitch? There are some who would say these things are just common sense. Most people now realise you need a website to make money on the internet, and there are websites that tell you how to get traffic and write good copy for free.

So why do so many people keep spending money on affiliate programs?

One good reason is to save time. It is possible to become a successful affiliate marketer without help, but you'll make mistakes along the way. A good affiliate marketing program will tell you what to do and where to do it. The author will already know the most effective ways of generating sales, and they'll pass that information on. The money you spend on an affiliate marketing program could therefore be earned back in the first week, as you save the money you might have spent on ineffective marketing techniques.

A second reason is because setting out to become an affiliate marketer can be quite a daunting task. After all, where do you start? What product do you choose to promote? Is it best to try several products at once? Where do you find said products? The list of things you need to organise is long a website, link tracking, autoresponders, affiliate links for the products you want to promote. You need to submit your site to search engines, find ways to drive traffic to your site, try to improve your page rankingan affiliate program can be useful simply because it takes you though how to do these things step by step. For those of us who sometimes struggle with organisation, that alone can be worth paying for!

And finally, you might pay for an affiliate program because you need the information. You might not know much about the internet. You might only have heard the words affiliate marketing' for the first time yesterday. You might not even really know what it is. If that's the case, an affiliate marketing program could be the best thing you ever buy. Many are aimed at people who have no idea what affiliate marketing is or how to get started. They simplify everything, making it simple to get started making money through the internet. You could find out all this information on your own, as it is out there but how long would it take you? And what marketing tricks would you miss?

Of course, none of these reasons might apply to you. You might know what affiliate marketing is and have a good idea to get started. You might already know where to find the tools you need and how to use them. You might not mind the idea of making mistakes while you learn or feel so confident that you think you won't make any!

If that's the case, then why should you buy an affiliate marketing program? It won't tell you anything you can't learn yourself through trial and error. But it's perhaps the second of those two words that is the most important error'.

You might not mind wasting time and money on mistakes. You might not mind losing sales through inexperience. It can be a good way to learn and once you have made a costly error, it's not likely that you'll make it again. But most people want to become successful as smoothly as possible, without the set-backs a lack of know-how can cause.

Affiliate programs don't eliminate mistakes. They will not protect you from errors. But they do make the chances of you committing one unknowingly less likely and for that, I say they are worth the money.

A lot of affiliate marketers spend large amount of time searching internet for that magic piece of information that will put them over the top. Resulting in inaction.

Super affiliates get in the action habit and learn what they need to learn as the need arises.

8. Super affiliates build their own websites.

There is enough WYSIWYG(what you see is what you get) website building software out that it's not hard at all. Like typing in word perfect.

Business Directories: The Place To List Your Local Small Business When Looking For Local Customers

One of the oldest and most effective ways to market yourself online is through local small business directory listings. Small business Internet marketing requires starting with a listing of your small business in the major general directories then listing them in niche and industry-specific directories appropriate to your small business. It is a time consuming process to list your small business in the right directories, but a necessary one to ensure good rankings for your website.

The most essential directory for your small business to be listed in is DMOZ, also called the Open Directory Project. All the major search engines, and most of the minor ones, rely on DMOZ, located at www.dmoz.org, for information on websites. Google gets information on every website it crawls from DMOZ.

You should also list your small business in Google Local and Yahoo Local. All you need to do to get listed with Google is to go to Google, click on the Local link and find the "add your business link." For Yahoo, go to Yahoo, click on "Directory," then click on "Submit Your Site" at the bottom of the page.

You can find other directories online by using Google or Yahoo. Type in "directory of directories" and you'll get a list of small business directories, both paid and free, listed by state, industry, niche, and other categorizations. I recommend that you list in every directory that applies to your business. Here is a short list of local small business directory opportunities to help you attract local customers for your business:

http://www.dmoz.org
http://dir.yahoo.com
http://www.joeant.com
http://www.jayde.com
http://www.avivadirectory.com
http://www.goguides.com
http://www.botw.org

Some directories, like the Yahoo directory, charge, but it is well worth what you pay to be listed. Once you are included in Yahoo's small business directory, you can bet your website will be indexed in the search engine as well.

There are three primary considerations for your small business when listing in directories online:

The directory's PageRank

The directory's age

Is your small business category available?

PageRank is important for SEO purposes. Internet marketing pros all recommend getting inbound links from websites with high PR. A website with a PR higher than yours will benefit you with valuable inbound links that will give you a boost in the search engines as well. The age of the directory makes it more valuable because you know that if the directory has been around for more than two years then it will likely be around next year. You can get information on PageRank and the age of various directories at http://www.seocompany.ca/directory/web-directories.html.

Don't waste your time trying to get listed in a directory that doesn't offer a category you'll fit into. Be sure to browse the categories at any small business directories you consider before you list your business.

Two great sources for finding web directories for your small business Internet marketing efforts are www.dir-search.com and www.best-web-directories.com. The Best Web Directories website is perhaps the most comprehensive website for finding business directories online. If you want to find local customers through small business directories then I recommend these two resources for finding the best places online that list small business directories for your Internet marketing efforts.

One thing you'll need to keep in mind all directories are different. Nevertheless, you should write your business directory listing before you submit to any directories. Your local small business directory listing shouldn't be too long, but it should include all the pertinent information: Your business name, your name, address, phone number, website address, e-mail address, and a short description of your business. In your business directory listing, be sure to use the best keyword two or three times to make your small business listing optimized for the search engines.

To find industry-specific or niche directories, go to DMOZ or one of the other general directories and search for your industry by keyword. Then do a keyword search at Google and Yahoo along with the keyword "directory." This should return a good listing of directories for your industry or niche.

One other source for listing your local small business is the local chamber of commerce's website. When you join your local chamber, they should list your website on theirs for free. The traffic you can get from this one source can be well worth joining the local chamber, and almost all of the traffic will be local customers looking for your type of business. The Yellow Pages online and www.merchantcircle.com are two other sources to consider for local small business Internet marketing. More and more people are looking online for small businesses to do business with and relying less on print publications like the Yellow Pages. That's just one more reason to look for local small business directories to be listed in.

The Importance Of The Pencil To Your Internet Business

This article *isn't* about making plans, about creating lists or about writing down your goals - it's not even about writing at all - so what is the importance of the pencil to your Internet business?

In his book "The Search - How Google and It's Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture" the author John Battelle quotes Louis Monier, the founder of AltaVista.

And what he says is one of the most startling and powerful business concepts I've heard in a long time.

He described AltaVista as "a pencil". Before I reveal why, it's important to point out that whilst AltaVista arguably died many years ago the principle of the pencil is as sound today as it ever was.

And it's the pencil principle that has allowed Google to become the power it is today - fielding over half of all Internet searches made.

It's what has made Ebay a household name from their humble beginnings, together with Yahoo, Microsoft and all the other Internet success stories out there.

It's also a key ingredient to success with your own Internet business - irrespective of whether you're running a search engine, an ecommerce store or an information portal.

It also doesn't matter what market you're in - from stock quotes to stocking sales, knitting patterns to negative calorie diets - the pencil principle still holds true.

So whats so great about the pencil?

In Monier's own words a pencil is "a tool that [does] one thing very, very well".

Don't let the simplicity of this concept deceive you - like so many other things - the power is in the simplicity.

The difficulty is in the execution.

Think about it.

Ebay is a "pencil". Amazon is a "pencil".

Most of the greatest Internet companies are.

Sure, they broaden their appeal eventually - such as Amazon stocking software, DVDs, white goods and the like in addition to their original book line-up, or Google now offering free email as well as search but the core concept is this...

These Internet successes set out to create a pencil - a tool that does just one thing better than anyone else in the marketplace.

Once this has been done, once traffic rises and market domination starts looking like a very real possibility, *then* they look at horizontal expansion.

But never forgetting the original tool they created, and keeping it "ahead of the wave".

Amazon hasn't stopped selling books. Google hasn't stopped offering fantastic search results.

So whatever industry you're in, however you're monetizing your traffic, spend some time today considering how (often achieved successfully by using brains rather than big funds) you can hone your site to offer a tool or service that's so much better, so far removed from your competitors that traffic growth is virtually guaranteed.

Because it's these "pencil" sites that get linked to from all over the Internet, that garner word-of-mouth referrals, newspaper column inches, repeat visitors and ultimately a fiercely loyal following.

Don't spread yourself too thin, trying to be all things to all people. Decide on what your market really needs then work on that resource - whether it's an ebook, an online tool, a piece of software, a service, a portal - whatever - and work at it night and day.

Work obsessively, uncontrollably, unerringly to make it the very best resource out there. And not by a few percent. By such a huge margin that there's no hope anyone else can compete with you. That there's nobody to compare you to. Make the difference so big that visitors to your site can't fail but notice how superior your site is to all your competitors.

Then you're on the right tracks. Then you'll have created your pencil, and *then* you can start look at expanding into other related, complementary sub-niches.

Success In The Home Business Owner's Eyes

Success lies in the eye of the beholder. Or maybe that's just beauty. We all define success differently. Some define it according to a bottom dollar amount. Did the home business owner earn more than he spent? Some will define it according to time. Did the home business owner spend time with his kids this week? Did he log in a date with his wife? Some will define it simply according to relationships. Do his kids like him? Does his wife not want to kill him this week? Home business owners have found success in several arenas with some simple principles.

First and foremost, successful home business owners find a way to balance family and work. They remember why they came home in the first place. Few home business owners choose to come home because they lost their job and had no other choice but to open their own business and work from home. Just about anyone can get a job if he really wants to. So home business owners typically come home for one or two reasons: to be their own boss and to spend time with their family. These home business owners find a way to both work hard and play hard. They take their business and family time seriously.

Secondly, successful home business owners read. They educate themselves on business practices, money management, and even family life. They understand the value of seeking out wisdom in various arenas of life. Additionally, the successful home business owner knows that he will grow as a person and an entrepreneur when he applies whatever he learns to his business and family life. He studies those who have succeeded at what he wants to do. He recognizes their habits, demeanor, and practices, and he mimics them with great detail.

Finally, a successful home business owner manages his money. He understands the need to manage money both at home and in the home office. Before he spends his money on bills or desires, he first writes out a budget. He involves his family in the personal budget, and he involves them in the monthly budget committee meeting. He will show them how they are spending money at home and receive their input on the budget. In the same way, he may involve his family in the business as well, hiring his kids as associates or menial labor, thus giving them the opportunity to learn about money management as well, with the first lesson being the correlation between hard work and money.

Success truly does lie in the eye of the beholder. Some people might deem a man who makes only $40K while spending the vast majority of his time at home a failure, and yet others deem his strong family relationship a success. Thus with this in mind, the home business owner must first of all define his concept of success, and then take the necessary steps to become successful in his own eyes.

Millions At The Kitchen Table

Chapter 1

How You Can Make Up To $2,778.00 A Day Sitting At Your Home Computer!

Even Out Of A Small Bedroom In Your Home!

By Jason Ryan Isaksen

An Amazing But True Life Story About Internet Marketing And How You Can Cash In.

Anyone Can Do What I Do!

I know you probably think it sounds like I'm exaggerating when I tell you I make up to $2,778.00 a day sitting at my computer.

As crazy at it sounds, I actually do it on a regular basis and I only spend a couple hours a day at my computer. And I really believe that anyone over the age of 9 or 10 years old can follow my example and do exactly what I'm doing. I know a few secrets and I'm about to reveal them to you in the pages ahead. So keep reading if making up to $2778.00 a day is acceptable to you.

Of course I can't and won't guarantee that you'll make the exact same number of dollars I make everyday, but what I can do is tell you how I do it. I'll reveal some of my most confidential secrets, tips and tricks along with a complete money-making system that produces a serious income!

How Much Money Do You Really Want To Make?

My average income per day as I sit here writing this book for you is averaging just above $2,700.00 per day. Some days I make more than that, other days I make less.

As of October, 2004 I've generated over 2.4 million dollars using my internet marketing system. Now that's gross, not net, but at least close to half of that is net(money that I got to keep.) But I don't want to sit here like all those other internet marketing gurus that tell you over and over how they're millionaires.

No instead I'd rather just show you a few of my actual bank statements from my business checking account so you can see my total monthly and yearly deposits for yourself. While others just talk, I offer proof!

These days it seems like everyone is flapping their lips trying to convince us of how much money they make. Don't listen to what they say. Ask for proof! Ask them to show you actual bank statements like I do. Then watch how fast they try to make up excuses about why they can't show you their bank statements. They'll say things like: "Oh I can't show you my bank statement because that's confidential." And the only reason they won't show you their bank statement is because you'd laugh if you saw most of them. That's why they keep it so confidential. But I believe anyone who is really making a serious internet income will be more than happy to show you a simple bank statement as proof.

So I'm going to show you one of my actual bank statements just so you'll know I'm the real thing and not one of those phonies. Click here to see one of my bank statements from a single month. Keep in mind, that's only one of my bank accounts. I have two more business checking accounts that also have extremely large deposits going into them every week. Yes, I make a good solid living and I'm about to show you most of the keys to my income so you can start making the same kind of cash-flow for yourself.

After you finish reading this book, you'll know almost every secret I use to produce this much income and you'll know how to do it the same way I do.

But keep in mind, you might not need a million dollars a year to support your lifestyle. As individuals, all of our income needs are different. It's possible that you aren't as materialistic as I am and it's possible you don't desire the expensive trips, cars, and homes that I have. I often talk to students of mine that tell me their needs and wants are more modest and they'd be happy if they could even make half the income I make. Heck, $1,000.00 a week might sound great to you especially if you don't want to work very hard and you don't need all the fancy stuff I've got. I've even talked with some "Stay-at-home-moms" that say they'd be delighted to make just a mere hundred dollars a day if it meant they still got to stay at home and play with their kids all day.

Whether you want $100.00 a day or $2,778.00 a day, this book is going to show you how your computer can help you do it! Just like I've been doing it for the past nine and a half years solid!

I also think you'll be glad to know that I'm not a "Lucky" person and luck plays no part in how I make all this money. This is not some fluke that just worked one time for one person. On the contrary, the same system I'm about to show you is being used by hundreds if not thousands of other successful internet marketers that work out of their homes.

Yes, my particular approach is a little better than most, and it's definitely unique, but the basic nuts and bolts of my system have been making lots of other people serious cash for many years.

You Definitely Don't Need An Office and You Don't Need Employees!

I've been working out of a small bedroom in my house for over eight years. I have a small desk with a $500 computer sitting on it. There's nothing special about me, my equipment, or where I do my work. Many people that know me actually tell me I'm a cheap-skate in a lot of ways! I don't want a fancy office with a pretty secretary. I've seen too many big shots with offices, secretaries, and staff go broke. Fancy offices and pretty secretaries don't make money! On the other hand, the correct knowledge does make money. I'm just an average guy who happened to find out a few secrets that actually work! And you're just moments away from finding out how I do it.

As you read these secrets up ahead, you'll find out why you're never going to have to put much of your profits into overhead or business expenses. There's absolutely no reason for you to go out and get an office. Your home will work just fine unless your business grows too large to contain in your home. And that's a great problem to have!

You'll never need to have a bunch of employees. Employees are more trouble than they're worth with all the baggage they bring to your business.

No Need To Ever Get All Dressed Up

One of the perks of working from your home is the fact that it doesn't matter what you wear while you're working. I work in my pajamas, robes, old torn sweats and holy jeans most of the time. Heck, you could answer the phone naked and your customers would never know. Your customers never come to your home and you never go to their home and since you never see each other in person, it's a relaxed atmosphere.

I actually get a lot more accomplished than I ever did working in an office because I'm so comfortable working in my house. There's no reason you can't do the same thing I'm doing. It's a piece of cake!

Now I'd like to tell you how I put this whole home business system together and why it's going to be even easier for you than it was for me. I know you may feel like skipping ahead, but you'll be hurting yourself if you do. This system must be read in the exact order in which it was written for it to make perfect sense. It's important for you to know each step I took to start making the kind of income I now make. This system will make perfect sense if you see how it all began.

I'm about to show you what I do and how easy it's going to be for you to do the exact same thing in your home. And remember, the big checks I get in the mail are not some strange fluke and I didn't just get lucky. I just followed an exact method that guaranteed my success. It's really no different than when you use a recipe to make a delicious dinner. You just follow the recipe and add the exact ingredients. And you always get the same delicious meal.

You could also compare this to a restaurant chain like Burger King, McDonalds, KFC, Round Table Pizza, Carl's Jr., Taco Bell etc. Does the food taste different at a Taco Bell in California than it does at a Taco Bell in New York? No, of course not because they both use the exact same ingredients for every item on the menu. A Big Mac from a McDonalds in the United States tastes the same as it does in a McDonalds over in Europe!

Just understanding why all these restaurant chains are so popular and so successful is going to help you understand exactly how this system is going to make you successful.

What is the single most important common denominator all these restaurant chains have in common? Each one of these restaurant chains uses duplication to achieve their stunning success. The owners of these restaurants know that success can be achieved over and over again and again by simply following a set of instructions or reading a manual that contains the ingredients to a perfect recipe! Yes, duplication is the key!

The reason people who read this book become successful is because it contains the exact ingredients that have already made thousands of other people successful. So as you continue to read through this book, I want you to stop worrying, doubting, and over-thinking. I want you to treat the rest of this book just like you would treat any other great recipe that was recommended to you by a good friend. Remove any doubt you may have about this working for you and just know that you are following a perfect recipe that has always delivered success to everyone that has used these ingredients the way they are written below.

My name is Jason Ryan Isaksen. I'm thirty three years old. My wife Mindy and I have two daughters and a son. Three years ago, using the money I've made from my internet business, I purchased a 22 acre house in California for my family. The best part is the fact that I was able to put 75% down on that house in pure cash. Again, I made all that money by using the techniques, secrets, and strategies revealed in this book.

And just so you know, I still don't have an office and I have no desire for an office. I'm writing this book right this very moment from a spare bedroom in my house that I turned into an office. I'm living proof that one room in your home with one computer is all you need to make up to half a million dollars a year! Most people dream about making this kind of serious money with a home business but I'm actually doing it! It's real but I still can hardly believe I've finally reached my main goal in life! It's still hard to believe that this little book you're reading right now has helped bring such an enormous income and so much freedom to my life!

For so many years I tried business opportunities that just didn't work! I felt like a complete sucker because I kept buying every "Get-Rich-Quick-Scheme" I could find. I was addicted to buying money-making-systems. I bought every "Work At Home" magazine and I responded to every ad. I ordered every course, program, system, and money-making report I could get my hands on. I ordered seminars on tape, franchises, distributorships, plans, and anything else that looked like it could make me stinking rich.

I spent $19.95 on one report and $99.95 on another. I spent $199.95 on a set of eight audio tapes and I spent $399.95 on a distributorship. Heck I even spent $2,000.00 on a website that guaranteed I would make $600.00 a day! It never made me a nickel! In fact none of that stuff ever made me a penny!

I'd be ashamed to even tell you how many thousands of dollars I've spent on worthless get-rich-quick schemes. I bet you've had some similar experiences and you're now probably thinking the "Work At Home Dream" doesn't exist. If you're like I was, you probably don't know who to trust anymore.

I was there too! I remember how it felt to spend all my money and get nothing back in return. But I now realize that all those thousands of dollars I spent searching for a high paying business opportunity were not wasted! It's now clear to me that If I hadn't spent all that money trying different things, I never would have learned some of the secrets I'm about to share with you through this book.

You're lucky! Why? Because I had to pay thousands of dollars to find the information you're about to read. I had to spend over 4 years to find out the secrets you're about to see in just minutes. And you don't have to spend thousands of dollars and thousands of hours like I did!

Let me tell you the main reason I wrote this little book. You'd think I wrote this for the money, but money had very little to do with it. These days, I no longer need the money. At one time I wrote little books like this for one reason and that was because I made serious cash by telling others the secrets to making a rock solid income. A few years ago, I really needed that money badly and it was like gift from above. It's not like that anymore.

Now that I've already made enough money to retire on, I sometimes ask myself "Why are you still writing new books?"

Well, here's the truth. I feel very fortunate. This system has given so much to me that I feel like it's now time to give something back. I remember how hard it was and what a struggle it was before I knew these secrets. And even though I had to spend thousands of dollars to find out one good piece of information that would change my life, I can only hope nobody else has to go through that long, difficult process. I don't believe anyone should have to go through that kind of stress and frustration. I now feel obligated to share my knowledge with you. Keeping these secrets to myself would be a selfish thing to do.

Anyway, it's not like it hurts me by telling you my confidential secrets. Some people have asked me this question: "Aren't you just creating more competition by telling all these people the secrets to your success?"

The answer is "No" and you'll find out why as you continue reading further.

Lets talk about what this book is NOT

First things first. I know some of you reading this right now still can't help but to be a little bit skeptical and have doubts about whether this system will really work for you. But just for a moment allow yourself to be open and receptive so you can truly take in this information and fully absorb it. I'll start by telling you what this system is not about.

It's not MLM, Multi-Level-Marketing, or Network Marketing. This system has nothing to do with that stuff. Don't get me wrong, I've actually made some money with MLM but I just think most people never find success with MLM and I have found a much easier way to make money. And with this system, you never have to meet with anyone face-to-face and you never have to do any real selling. This system always sells itself so you just collect the checks! Since most of the work is automated in this system, you'll only need to sit at your computer for about an hour a day! In fact, even people that don't own a computer can use this system so the market is huge for this!

This system is not one of those pyramid schemes that doesn't even have a "Real" product. No Way!

With this system, all of the money you're going to make will come from providing "Real" products with a legitimate purpose to people who are desperately seeking them. And they'll always pay you top dollar for your product! Every time! I'll give you more information about your product in the next few pages, but I just want you to know that I don't just sit around selling "Get-Rich-Quick" information. No way, there's probably good money to be made doing that, but that's just not what I do. Before I even wrote the first page of this book, I'd already made 2.1 million dollars by using all of the ingredients that make up this system! So even before this book existed, I was raking in a rock solid income by using all of the techniques outlined in this book.

This is not one of those goofy deals where I sell you a bunch of catalogs, brochures, and order forms and tell you to pass them out to make money. In that case I would be the only one making any money while you'd be losing money! No, this system is nothing like that! You keep all your profits with this system. All the money goes directly to you!

After I show you how this system works, there's nothing else you'll ever be required to buy from me. Once you know the secret system, you'll never need to have any connection with me at all. And I certainly won't be taking any of your profits! But the only connection you may want to have with me is for me to help get you started.

My goal is to see you become completely independent just like me. The last thing either of us want is for you to be dependent on me. Your goal in purchasing this system was to learn how to become financially free and completely independent so you don't ever need to rely on others for a paycheck. And most important, you don't want some fat cat boss-man taking most of the money for the work you do in life.

I did not make this system up. I'm sure you've seen the get-rich magazine ads and infomercials that show the owner of the company standing next to a Mercedes, next to their giant cruise ship, or even standing on the stairs of their own lear jet. And you probably already know that many of the people posing in those pictures aren't even the real owner of the company. Often times the person in the photo-ad has a completely different name than the one you see advertised. Yes, these guys often use made up stage names and they set up their own photo shoots showing a life of luxury when it's not even real. All fake!

I want you to know strait up that I'm nothing like that fake stuff you see out there. No way, me and my wife Mindy are totally real people and if you saw us walking down the street you'd never know that we are rich. We don't act like rich people and we don't look like rich people. We look completely ordinary, dress completely ordinary, and even drive ordinary cars. We don't need to impress people. In fact we go out of our way to look like regular folks because we don't want to be treated different in life. Sure, we used to drive flashy luxury cars and dress like movie stars, but we soon learned that people would often try to use us for our money. Yah, every other day someone else would be asking us for a loan or just pleading for us to help by donating some money to them. Sure, they'd ask for a "Loan" but nobody ever paid me back anyway, so that's why I use the word "Donation." Because when you're rich everyone thinks you should just hand out money to every Tom, Dick, and Ha!

rry! You're rich so you can afford it. Right? Well I don't like being used anymore than you do so it's not even about the money.

So Mindy and I no longer try to impress anyone with expensive toys. But the main point I'm trying to make is that every word written in this book is completely true. Mindy and I are not about to risk losing our home, our business, or our reputation by telling a single lie. That would be fraud and it's illegal.

I have no reason at all to make anything up because my true life story is so unique and amazing that it's more powerful than fiction.

This Is Not Just Something That Sounds Great On Paper But Wouldn't Be Easy For You To Do

As you continue reading your way forward, you'll soon see that even a 10 year old child could use this system(where was this when I was a kid.) This system doesn't require much money to start up. So even if you're almost broke, there's plenty of hope in the pages that follow. You don't need any special education. You don't even need an office or a store to do this. You don't need to stock any inventory of products and you don't need any special equipment. Best of all, you don't need to have a single employee working for you, ever! You just need yourself and this book!

This is a completely different approach to internet marketing that has made me over 2.1 million dollars before I even wrote this book!

Be prepared to read this book again and again until you fully understand the big picture. Because once you fully understand what I'm talking about, you're never going to work for anyone else again. You're money worries will be gone forever, and I promise you this: The people that work in your bank will soon have a new respect for you and know you on a first name basis.

I Didn't Go To College

I mostly screwed around in school so I never had any interest in going to college. With no degree, I wound up having to do what I call "Real Work." And when I say "Real Work" I'm talking about jobs such as stock person, grocery bagger, cashier, dept. store sales person, professional cleaner, etc. And when I say I did some cleaning I don't just mean dusting. I cleaned windows, toilets, floors, tiles, and even cars. At one time, I was even cleaning up after a demolition crew. They smashed stuff up, and I had to walk through all the dust and carry out the garbage.

But I don't want to bore you with all the details of all the many odd jobs I had. I just want to let you know that I wasn't born rich and that I actually shed blood, sweat, and tears just trying to live on my own. Those jobs all had one thing in common. They were all "Real Work" and I hated every minute while watching the clock and waiting for the end of the day to come.

It didn't take me long to realize I wasn't meant to have a boss in life. I didn't like taking orders back then and I still don't like taking orders now. And that's part of the reason why I listed so many different jobs of mine up above. I used to get sick and tired of jobs faster than most people. So I'd end up getting fired or quitting sometimes after only one week of working. There were a few occasions where I just walked off a job without even telling anyone I was leaving and never coming back! I would seriously just wait until nobody was paying attention to me and I'd just walk right out the front door, get in my car and drive home. Home was where I like to be. Home was a place where I felt safe, relaxed, and happy.

Yes, I was really good at getting jobs, but not so good at staying with them and being committed to them. Home was just such a better place to be. So looking back, it's really no surprise that one day after walking off a job, I stopped at a computer store and bought a cheap computer with money I didn't have. I had one credit card left that wasn't over it's limit and I used that one credit card to live off of for the next 3 weeks while I sat at that computer determined to figure out how to make it spit out dollar bills.

No Luck! For over a year I tried every internet money-making opportunity I could get my hands on. But I just kept racking up more debt. A year later, I was $46,735 in debt and desperately struggling. Any sane person would have gone out and gotten a job. But to me, a job was not an option. I seriously would have rather been in prison than had a job. At least in prison you can sit down and relax. Ok, well on second thought, I wouldn't want to be in prison either. But I think you're starting to understand just how much I hated having a regular job. Having a boss seemed as close to a prison sentence as I can imagine.

So I just sat at that computer all day long and I answered as many of those "opportunity ads" you see in the back of small business magazines as I could find. I tried every money-making scheme that I came across. If you sold a get-rich-quick scheme, I would have been an easy sale for you at that time.

I tried offline businesses as well as online businesses, but they always turned out to be nothing but lies. And I kept falling for every one of them. It was official. I was an opportunity junkie. If there was such a thing as opportunity junkies anonymous, I probably needed to be there.

But as bad as things got, I was one stubborn son-of-a-gun! I knew I'd rather be homeless than work a day job. At least I knew what I didn't want to do. Looking back, knowing what I didn't want was actually a step in the right direction. So I just kept on trying more business opportunities. I tried them all. I experimented with different ways of doing them and I tested and re-tested each one.

When you look at just how pitiful my life was at that time and how bad things were turning out, it's actually good news for you. If I can suddenly bring in $437,540.00 after being down so low then you know you can do it too! As you continue reading, you're going to see just how easy this really is. Remember, I'm not a lucky person and what I was about to discover wasn't luck. I discovered a recipe for success. Yes sireee, I had found the exact ingredients for a serious cash income!

There are a few reasons why you're likely to use this system and make more money, faster than when I got started. Who knows, you may even do better than me later on too!

But before I ever hit it big, things kept getting worse while I was struggling to avoid losing my apartment back then. I ended up having to move back in at my parents house which as you may know, is a hard thing to do. But I had no choice. My credit cards were now all over their limit, and my checking account had a negative balance. Things were ugly!

But as ugly as things got, I still wasn't going to throw in the towel and get a boss and a job to go with it. No way, I was determined to find a way to get my computer to make me a solid income from home. That was my dream and I was obsessed with being my own boss and finding a simple way to make money from home. I wanted to be totally independent and financially free to relax at home where I felt safe. Looking back I sometimes can't believe that I never gave up and at least got a part time job to help get me out of my financial mess. But I guess I was well aware that every minute I spent working for a boss making low wages, was time wasted. I knew that having a boss and a job would only end up robbing precious hours from me and take away the time I needed to get my own thing going at home.

How Did I Go From Almost $50,000.00 in debt and struggling at my parents house, to buying a house worth over $412,000.00 in just six months?

And How Was I Able To Put Down almost $200,000.00 On That House In Cold Hard Cash?

After Being So Desperate For So Long, How Did I End Up Paying Cash For 2 New Luxury Cars?

I even bought expensive toys for my kids like a horse, a new dirt bike, and a quad racer.

Heck, I suddenly was able to buy every piece of jewelry my wife was asking for! Yah, I scored big points doing that!

Out of nowhere, we suddenly get to travel first class and take exotic vacations as often as we want!

No boss! No cubicle, No office! I take orders from nobody! I am suddenly in charge of my own life! I can suddenly do what I want when I want without asking anyone! I can take today off and go play with my kids at the local park if I want. I can decide to take the whole rest of the week off and goof-off all day with my wife! I can take the next month off for a tropical vacation half way around the world if that's what I decide to do.

How???

I'm about to tell you how I finally made a huge breakthrough in my struggle to create wealth with my computer at home.

I know you've been waiting on the edge of your seat for me to finally tell you how I made this all happen and now it's time to show you how to do the exact same thing I did. I'm going to use the space in the rest of this book to tell you how this system can change your life as quickly as it changed mine.
