Success - What Does It Take?

There are some foundations you have to be aware of in order to get where you want in life, given that you want to get from the ordinary to the extraordinary. You have to understand that. You really have to.

There are so many people who want to succeed in their lives, in their business and in general, but who want to play with their goals instead on work with them. If you treat your business like a hobby, it will pay you like one. If you treat it like a high paying business, it will pay you like one. How was that for a surprise?

Belief

Your ability or disability to believe that, determines your success or failure in your business, relationship or whatever area you want to be successful in. It sounds a little harsh, but it is not. The reason why it is not is because of the supportive factors that leads to this kind of behavior.

What did it take to get you into the business that you are currently in? How much have you invested in it? Much time and effort, I am sure. What about knowledge? Not only knowledge about technical stuff about which buttons to push in order to market your business, but knowledge about yourself. What does it take to make you work? You are your most important asset, you know. Take Success University, a business I am part of. Success University enrolls those who choose to transform themselves from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Commitment

Those who only choose to use SU as a tool to build a business, can certainly do that. You can try Success University in 14 days for only $2. But I want to be frank with you. That is not a strong commitment. Those who have paid $100,000 for a franchise have really committed themselves to their business and have the greatest of interest to succeed in it. It is not easy to look at any small amount of money your business require of you to invest and imagine that can be transformed into a million dollar business. Why have I chosen that number? Because it is a great number, and represents high aspirations. Very few people are able to take that transition in their minds. And here you have your cue: In your mind.



Your mind

If you are a networker, there are people in your line of business who are earning hundreds of thousand per month, there are those who earn tens of thousands per month and there are those who only earn a couple of hundreds. What separates those individuals are their fundamental understanding and mentality on what they have in their hands. You can look at the same thing that others look at but different people will see different things. Some people will see it like something they can do on the side, something they can have like a hobby, trying to convince their friends and neighbours how wonderful it is, this new hobby of theirs. Then there are those who look at it like a million dollar business where values are created with a team effort and great leadership. It is not likely that you can make a million dollars on your own. Your time is not worh that much. But all the working hours of your team can be.

Team work

The first thing we need to establish is that it takes teamwork to make the dreamwork. You came into your business for yourself, but hopefully not by yourself. No one should have to be alone, but alas, that is exactly what many networkers experience. If you are not a part of a great team, where your teamleader should have been there for you and mentoring you, you have to be the leader for your team. This is a team of individuals, but they work together in one accord. You should not need to be a musician to be able to understand this.

Leadership

It is all about leadership. The best thing a teamleader can do for his team is to teach everybody the same language. We must speak the same language, we must have the same vision. We can achieve that by mentoring each other on conference calls and constantly dripping out emails with great lessons in it. We must accomplish a unity where we can speak out massive momentum. This is where we all should be going. Everyone must plug into the same system and everyone must use it to gain that massive momentum. If half your team is attending conference calls, and the other half not, guess what? You will not achieve massive momentum. That is why it is so important that when people join you, they know that you run a real business with real businessmen and women in it.

The mission

An email should have a mission enclosed in it. I will give you a mission now. This is, if you choose to accept it: Write down your goals. What do you want to achieve? You should be able to write down approximately 20 of them. Attach a deadline to each one of them. Without deadlines they are not visions, but only vague dreams. This note with your goals, you should keep in front of you. Place it somewhere you pass many times a day. This will remind you of where you are heading and keep you focused. Why am I telling you this? Let's look a study conducted with the Yale Graduating Class of 1953. They surveyed all students asking them if they had written goals for their life: 3% had put their goals in writing, 97% had not written them down or had none at all! Twenty years later, there same people were re-interviewed. The 3% who had written goals had 10 times the incomes than the other 97% combined!

If you accept this mission and do it, it is proper to give you a serious gratulation. You can even proudly give yourself one. You have then positioned yourself in front of 97% of those who have not.

This is why I love Success University. Success University is meeting a great need in the Networking Industry, and is teaching networkers to build their business by belief, belief in themselves, in their products, and in their colleagues. And by this belief, they share the knowledge with their fellow networkers. It is a product that can be consumed by the networker, and the result is knowledge, attitude and success both financially and personally.

How to Use Manual Traffic Exchanges Effectively

A manual traffic exchange is a membership web site that allows you to view web pages selected by other members and allows other members to view web pages you select. In other words, a traffic exchange allows members to exchange traffic between their sites.

You can sign up as a free traffic exchange member or as a paid member with a monthly subscription. Once you sign up, you will have the opportunity to provide the URLs for several web pages of your choosing. You may also be able to include banner ads and text ads.

As you might imagine, your goal in joining a traffic exchange is to promote your URLs by having other members view them. You earn credits to have your pages displayed when you view other members’ pages. Free members normally must view more pages to earn a credit than paid members. You will typically view each page while a timer counts down, usually from 10 to 30 seconds, before you can move on to the next page.

You can also purchase credits or receive a monthly allocation of credits as a paid member. But the most economical way to receive credits as a beginner is to earn them by surfing.

To earn credits as quickly as possible, you may want to surf traffic exchanges by opening up multiple tabs in your browser. You will view a different traffic exchange in each tab. So, immediately after clicking to the next page in one traffic exchange you move to the next tab and click to the next page on that exchange. In this way you are not waiting for any timer to count down, but are earning credits on multiple traffic exchanges as quickly as possible.

Because most other members also use tabbed browsing, your page has only a second or two to capture their attention. Your page’s headline must immediately interest them and distract them from clicking to the next page.

And because most members are clicking almost mechanically to get to the next page, they will need to see your page several times before they decide to do more than glance at your headline. This means you will need lots of credits to successfully promote your URLs.

These facts have a profound effect on your ability to make money using traffic exchanges. To make a significant amount of money from traffic exchanges there are two things you must do.

Build a Downline

First, you must build a downline. That is, you must encourage other people to join a traffic exchange from your promotional link to that exchange. This is important because most traffic exchanges give you credits that allow your pages to be displayed when members of your downline surf. You may receive credits worth 10% or 20% of the credits earned by the surfing of your downline.

A large downline adds significant credits to your account and allows your pages to be displayed frequently. It gives you tremendous power to promote money making opportunities on the traffic exchanges. This is why building a downline should be your first priority.

You can build a downline in two ways. One way is to cross promote. That is, you use a splash page from traffic exchange “A” on traffic exchange “B” and visa versa. So, when someone surfs traffic exchange “B” and joins traffic exchange “A” from your splash page, you’ve added to your downline on exchange “A”.

The second way to build a downline is to make use of a traffic building resource like TrafficHoopla.com. TrafficHoopla tracks the performance of traffic exchanges and ranks them in order of effectiveness.

You can join TrafficHoopla and the traffic exchanges they monitor. After joining each exchange you can add your program ID for each exchange to TrafficHoopla’s database.

Then, when you advertise TrafficHoopla, the links to the various exchanges will contain your program IDs. When someone joins the traffic exchanges via your TrafficHoopla link, you will gain a downline in each of those traffic exchanges.

So, by advertising only TrafficHoopla you can gain a large downline in a number traffic exchanges. This is a very powerful technique for building a downline on the traffic exchanges.

Build a List

The second thing you need to do as you build your downline is to build an opt-in list. Building a list is one of the primary uses of traffic exchanges. A quarter of the web pages in a traffic exchange ask for your email address while another 38% of the pages will ask for your email address when you click to a second page.

An opt-in list allows you to send out newsletters that cover a topic of interest to your list members. As you cover topics relevant to your list members you will build credibility with them. Your list members will then be more likely to investigate the products you recommend in your newsletter. And, when you recommend your own products or affiliate products you will make money when your list members make a purchase.

You have probably heard that “the money is in the list.” When you have a large list you’ll be able to make money every time you send out a newsletter. The larger your list, the more money you will be able to make.

So, remember that the most effective use of your time while starting out with traffic exchanges is first to build a large downline and second to build a list. Doing these things will put you head and shoulders above the average traffic exchange member.

Traffic Exchanges

What Is A Traffic Exchange?

First of all you need to know a little about what a Traffic Exchange is and then how you can use them to build a ton of traffic to your websites.

A Traffic Exchange or Hit Exchange as they are also known is a real Traffic Alternative. You receive exposure for your own web site, banner ads, and even text links by viewing the sites and ads of other people.

If you are thinking I do not have time to view other peoples sites, I must tell you that you do not have to as all exchanges sell advertising credits so if you have more money than time, you can buy credits.

These programs provide you with a very powerful way of :

- Placing your product or service in front of a very diverse audience
- Seeing what other folks are promoting
- Having an idea of how your competition are targeting their campaigns
- Branding your name, gathering leads, and yes, making sales.

Traffic Exchanges are member based, so you must open an account with each exchange you intend to use. This is a simple task that can be completed in just a couple of minutes and FREE traffic exchanges cost nothing to join.

Traffic Exchanges operate on a credit system. Members earn credits by participating in a variety of ways, and then "spend" these credits on website visitors to their own websites, splash pages, banner ad impressions and text links.

By maintaining active memberships in a few good exchanges, you can generate a tremendous flow of traffic for any web site you wish to advertise. When used properly, these resources are an excellent way to promote just about anything.

Here are some free traffic exchanges which I recommend joining:

TrafficG Traffic Generator
Dragon Surf
Traffic Bunnies
Traffic Hoopla publishes a list of the top exchanges.

The short answer... Of course they work!

WARNING! Don't be like me!

So whatever you do, make sure you finish all 3 steps - in order!

This includes powerful affiliate training including forum, videos and live training calls.

Traffic Swarm (Manual Traffic Exchange) - Why Go Pro?

I consider Traffic Swarm one of the best manual traffic exchanges. I joined it as part of the Plug-In Profit Site and set it as my home page so when it loads I can choose whether to click on any of the eight ads shown to earn credits or click through to other ads.

These ads are like short text ads in a box and I choose which sites to promote with my credits.

I decided to upgrade to Pro Membership ($30 per month) for these benefits:

* additional 2,500 Credits each month
* minimum of 3 Credits (2 Bonus Pro Credits) on your first 20 Start Page clicks daily
* minumum of 2 credits (1 Bonus credit) for each click after the initial 20 per day
(That's an additional 1,500 credits compared to a Free user with only 30 clicks per day!)
* earn 2 credits for each load of your Start Page (first 30 loads each day) instead of 1 credit for Free users. (That's an extra 900 credits every month as a Pro user.)

(With 30 Start Page loads and 30 clicks a day = an extra 2,400 Credits each month.)
PLUS..
* Earn 100 more credits from each referral to TrafficSwarm.
* Earn 1 Pro Bonus credit each time one of your personally referred downline
affiliates clicks on any of the links on their Start Page or in the Search Engine.
* Earm commissions on your affiliates who upgrade to PRO.
PLUS..
* Faster review/approval times for new ads.
* Priority customer support.

Did you know that as a Pro user you will now earn an additional 2,000+ credits each month over what a Free user earns for the same amount of surfing?

FREE Hosting
Visit the "Bonus!" section of your Members Page after logging in to review the latest bonuses available to you. These include a free year's worth of an elite hosting package for being a Pro user.

I Have Earned 90 Cents from Squidoo


Don't laugh, this is not as insignificant as you might think at first glance. Not by a long shot.

Actually, it is quite significant.

Here is why: making any amount of monëy on the web from a free site is quite rare.

What Is Squidoo?

Squidoo is a free, easy-to-use service or site that lets anyone post or write a lens (web page) on any subject they choose.

Squidoo lets you create your own lenses and pick highly valuable keyword phrases in your Squidoo URL. There are still some very worthwhile URLS to be claimed and more being born as new products come online.

Experienced marketers will know to place popular (well searched for) keywords or keyword phrases in their Squidoo URL and then have these keywords in the title of your lens and sprinkled throughout the page. Don't overdo it, but optimize your lens for your chosen keywords. Savvy marketers also know using a long tail keyword phrase often results in more targeted traffíc which converts better.

How Is Squidoo Different?
Squidoo is a quality site. It offers highly focused content which often rises to the top of the search engine rankings very quickly. The Squidoo site has a PR7 (Page Rank) in Google. According to Alexa, Squidoo is ranked in the top 1000 sites on the whole web.

Why Is Squidoo Effective?

The main reason Squidoo is effective stems from its vibrant online community constantly creating diverse quality content and links. In the process, this community has made Squidoo a search engine haven. As with Wikipedia, Squidoo can be seen as the ultimate authority site. Besides, it is fun and easy to use because you have all your valuable content and links on one convenient page. It is also community rated so all the cream rises to the top! Google seems to love Squidoo.

How Can You Earn By Using Squidoo?

Every page on Squidoo carries Google AdSense ads which generate funds for the site and you. Also you can display affilíate links from Amazon, eBay, CafePress etc. plus to any other affiliate programs or sites. It is more like a co-op where you share in the revenues generated from your lenses. There is also a charity element where you can donate your earnings to a whole host of charity groups.

Keep in mind, Squidoo is completely scalable. As with any marketing venture, once you know how to create that first $1 profít, all you have to do is scale it up. If you make $1 with one page, create a hundred pages and you will make...

Why Should You Use Squidoo?

From a purely SEO angle, Squidoo is worth your time, even if you are a professional marketer making $200-300 dollars a day from your sites. Squidoo lets you quickly tap into the whole Web 2.0 social media tagging system. It will help you improve your rankings for your other sites if you closely tie-in your links and content.

This is not keyword spamming. You must create unique quality content on Squidoo in order to generate the interest in your lenses. In a community monitored site like Squidoo, quality content does rise to the top. Done properly, Squidoo will easily let you tap into the whole Web 2.0 everyone is talking about.

Your profile will link back to your site and you can include backlinks to any sites you wish, including hyperlinks on photos stored on Flickr.

In addition, Squidoo is an excellent hands-on training field for anyone wishing to learn more about Internet Marketing. It is the perfect place to study affilíate marketing and you can discover how SEO really works without even spending a dime.

More importantly, Squidoo is just plain easy and a whole lot of fun. Besides, if you give it a try, chances are almost 100% certain that you will make more than 90 cents!

"The Squidoo community is currently boasting nearly 160,000 lenses, with more than 1,000 new lenses getting created every day. And 5 million+ visits a month. And 4 lenses getting seen every second. Wow." (correct @ 8 June 2007)

A Home-Based Business in Network Marketing

Having very young children and a demanding career is often very difficult to manage. More often than not, one has to choose between going to the office and staying with the kids. For most people, working to earn a living is unavoidable since they also need money to pay the bills and buy necessities. However, when it comes to earning a living, one does not really have to leave the home and go to the office from 9 to 5. A network marketing home business can help people earn enough money to sustain a comfortable lifestyle.

Network marketing home business was first introduced in the Philippines in 1940. Way back then, manufacturers would approach independent distributors to sell their products through direct sales. The idea was to promote the products of the company to the end consumer.

How does one earn money from a network marketing home business? There are two ways uin which a person can earn money from a network marketing home business. First, you can earn direct commissions and discounts from all the items or products that you sell or consume. Note that in network marketing, the merchant will ask you to sell its products services and in some cases, you will earn as high as 50% commission based on the total amount of products that you have sold. The more products and services that you sell, the more money you will earn.

The second way for you to earn money through a network marketing home business is to recruit other members and build a team. The nature of network marketing so provide that if you is able to recruit other members, you will earn commissions on all the sales generated by those new members that you have recruited. You can earn as high as 25% commission on the total amount of sales generated by the people you have recruited. What is more interesting about network marketing is that you can also earn commissions on the sales generated by the people recruited by your recruits. For instance, if you recruit John who recruits Julie, you will still earn commissions on sales generated by Julie. On the other hand, John will also earn commissions on the sales generated by Julie.

In most cases, you can earn commissions up to the 8th generation of recruits. However, the amount of commissions may vary from level to level. The percentage may be higher on the first level growing smaller or the other way round. Most companies that offer Network marketing home business opportunities also offer some bonuses to those distributors that are selling a good number of products. For people who want to stay home with their kids, the network marketing home business is indeed a very good opportunity to earn good income while staying at home.

Why is Leisure Audio Books Such a Lucrative Business?

So, have you heard any good books lately?

If so, you are not alone. According to Audio Publishers Association, audio book sales are increasing at a double-digit rate!

You know what that means – it’s the perfect cash producing opportunity for forward-thinking entrepreneurs such as yourself!

Why are audio books becoming so popular? For their convenience and their high-perceived value – which means your customers are much more likely to buy audio books from you than regular ebooks!

One of the chief benefits of audio books is that you can listen to them while doing other things – such as commuting to work, waiting to pick up your children from an activity, working out at the gym, exercising at home, doing household chores, jogging, walking, driving, mowing the lawn or doing other outside work, at night while your partner sleeps (you will not keep them awake by having a light on) and much, much more! In fact, it was not very long ago that the thought of carrying around 10,000 songs or a complete book in your pocket was pretty silly.

But now that more than 42 million iPods and 27 million MP3 players have been sold, the concept of taking an audio book, or your music, with you as you go out is as normal as walking out the front door with a credit card in your wallet!

That means there are quite literally millions upon millions of people out there with iPods and MP3 players who are desperately looking for good quality content such as that provided by Leisure Audio Books.

Ask yourself this question: “What do people search for everyday in the search engines?” When you think about it, it's really very simple. They search for CONTENT. Good, informative content that benefits them in some way.

That’s why self-help, self-improvement and how-to information is in such high demand today.

Unfortunately, most people in today’s competitive, fast-paced world don’t have time to read much anymore. That is why audio books are becoming so popular, because they give people to the important information that they need while they are doing something else!

10 Web Site Design and Writing No-No's

1. Don't load your web site with a lot of high tech clutter. Your visitors may miss your whole sales message.

2. Don't use unnecessary words or phrases on your site. You only have so much time to get your visitor's attention and interest; make every word count.

3. Don't make the mistake that everyone will totally understand your web site message. Use descriptive words and examples to get your point across.

4. Don't write your strongest point or benefit only once. You should repeat it at least 3 times because some people may miss it.

5. Don't push all your words together on your web site. People like to skim; use plenty of headings and sub headings.

6. Don't use site content your target audience is not interested in. If people are coming to your site to find info about fishing, do not include soccer content.

7. Don't use 50 different content formats all over your web site. Use the same fonts, text sizes, text colors, etc.

8. Don't use words your web site visitors might not understand. People are not going to stop and look in a dictionary, they will just go to another site.

9. Don't let selling words and phrases go unnoticed. Highlight important words and phrases with colour, bolding, italics, underlining, etc.

10. Don't forget to use words that create emotion. All people have emotions, people will have more interest when they are emotionally attached.

"Leisure Audio Books will help Tens of Thousands of People to Earn a Good Living Online!"

Here is a message from Janet Wilson, Founder and CEO of Empowerism:

"Having run a multi-million dollar Internet company for the last ten years, I have seen more "leaders" and so-called "businesses" start and fail than I can count.

Few people (I consider us pioneers) have stood the test of time and remain leaders to this day. Kevin Anderson is one of those people whose commitment to excellence and integrity puts him in this group of well-respected, successful business owners.

One of the things I learned from Kevin and incorporated into LEAP/Empowerism way back in 1998, was the concept of replicating affiliate websites, which he invented in 1993 and was using with Cognigen.

Based on his track record as the Founder of Cognigen and as a consistent top sponsor for Empowerism, Kevin has a great deal of credibility. He believes, and I agree, that, like Cognigen, Leisure Audio Books will help tens of thousands of people to earn a good living online!"

Is GDI - Global Domains International a scam?

Global Domains International also known as GDI has an exclusive license agreement to distribute the dot WS domains (.WS) to customers.

But GDI has developed a Multi Level Marketing Strategy to distribute and market these domains. The strategy offers huge potential incomes to members with a minimum of work and technical know-how of the internet.

The GDI system actually combines multi - level - marketing with internet marketing which I think is pure genius. Robert Allen of "Multiple Streams of Revenue Income" wrote that "network marketing" and "internet marketing" are two profitable and easy streams of income. Now GDI has combined these two streams into one allowing members to participate in network marketing with internet marketing on complete automation.

The beauty of the GDI system is that there is actually no selling on your part. The video presentations they provide are persuasive enough, in other words, the videos will actually sell for you. All you need to do is just keep sending the emails provided to close friends, relatives, other people you know or even in forums to ask people to watch the videos.

Best of all, it is the cheapest MLM and internet marketing business venture you can ever find with potential for the highest return on your investment. You can check out the calculator provided in the main GDI website. According to calculations, if you find 5 people and the 5 people in turn find 5 people, you have potential earnings of $3.905 per month! Now that's the power of MLM and I am sure you will agree that with an investment of only $10 a month, you will never find another income opportunity with such low risk and high returns.

Now, will the product sell? We know that the internet has become an important part of our lives, and I cannot stress enough that over the next few years, we shall all need a domain name, a website and a personal email address. With dot coms all running out, the only good alternative is dot WS (WS stands for website). The videos explain really well.

Ok, so is Global Domains International a Scam?

Would you call Amway, Nu Skin, Herbalife and all the multi level companies out there a scam? These companies are built on the same business model - MLM. The only difference with GDI is that it is cheaper and easier to start as the system is all on automation over the internet. When you pay your subscription of $10 a month to GDI, you also get a domain name, a website, site builder, email addresses (up to ten) not to mention the income opportunity system and the advanced email systems they provide you to manage your downlines.

True you can buy domains at $8.95 a year and hosting for $3.95 a month. But do not forget that they do not provide a residual income building opportunity that pays you every month. Hey, you may also think, GDI only pays $1 per signups which is really too little for your effort, but do no forget you are paid on 5 levels! Try out the potential income with the calculator. You only need 10 signups over the 5 levels to break even!

Oh by the way, you are also given 3 websites with your name already embedded to start your GDI business. How easy is that! You do not even need to learn any HTML to start!

In the members’ area, you can check out your uplines, downlines, your earnings and top earners!

In conclusion, is Global Domains International a Scam?

Nope!

You have to watch the cool video and see for yourself. You are also entitled to a 7 day FREE Trial!

Using Traffic Exchanges to Build Your Business

Getting The Most Out Of Surfing
- excerpts from an article by Stephen Ayer
Why do so many people use traffic exchanges to advertise on the Internet? Because they work.

Not only are they a great way to advertise, butthey are a great way to keep yourself close to the pulse of the industry.

To get the most out of exchange surfing, there are a few things you should know.

How Much Time Should I Spend Surfing?
As much as you can. If you want to build your business, you will either have to put the time into surfing, or purchase credits and upgrades. We recommend all three for the best results.

Many newcomers spend a week or two surfing an hour or two a day and wonder why their businesses aren't growing. This is because the competition is fierce and you must keep your business in front of everybody to be successful.

Setting A Schedule For Surfing
Reports have shown that the most active time of the day on traffic exchanges is around 9PM to 12AM Pacific time. However, early morning is also very productive.

The best thing to do is break up your surfing into chunks throughout the day. The best scenario would be an hour or two in the early morning (Pacific Time),
and hour or two in the early afternoon, an hour or two in the late afternoon/early evening and 2 or 3 hours later at night.

This will expose your business to a wider range of people than surfing every day at the same time.

You will want to keep your business in front of other Net Marketers as much as you can. Regular surfing, credits purchases and a Pro upgrade will help you do this.

One more tip- when you are surfing, view all the sites so you won't be cheating other surfers out of their credits. However, you don't want to spend all your
allotted surfing time on reading entire websites. If you see something that interests you, bookmark it and go back to it when you are done surfing.

Steve Ayer recommends TrafficRoundup membership.

GDI (Global Domains International) now part of DSA

News received from GDI today:

"We are honored to announce our official acceptance as a full active member of the DSA. The DSA (Direct Selling Association) is the world's foremost trade association of leading companies that manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers.

The process to become a DSA member is not easy: It is a rigorous, year-long interview process with only the best companies being approved for membership. We are proud of our new partnership with the DSA. As a cherished customer, you can take comfort in knowing you are being serviced by our company with the DSA's seal of approval. If you partake in our affiliate program, you can promote our offerings with an even greater sense of pride and confidence than before."


GDI is an international business opportunity whereby anyone can join for $10 per month and have their own website for whatever purpose. The website building package and hosting are included in the monthly fee. GDI members can promote the home-based business opportunity to others and earn commission on referrals who join the company. As so many people want websites, sometimes just for personal use, this really is a business for everyone.

Do You Have The ‘Whatever It Takes’ Attitude?

If you're currently running a business or about to start one, then this article is for you.

In today's cut throat business world you will come up against all kinds of obstacles that will make you think of quitting, or maybe not even starting, your business. These obstacles will get in your way almost every day in one way or another and if you don't have the right attitude you will simply give up.

The pressure of starting a new business or running one is simply something you can't describe to someone with words or truly make them understand. There's no real way to warn them; each case is unique in itself and there will come a time when you will have to make the decision to press on or give up.

Obviously, with 95% of small businesses online failing every day, the facts clearly show that most people give up rather then press on. That's a scary statistic for anyone running, or thinking about running, a business. We know that most people don't make it but, what about the 5% that do? What makes them different?

It's their 'Whatever It Takes' attitude!

These people are willing to give up everything because they know deep down inside them they can and will make their business work.

People who are willing to do whatever it takes consist of the 5% who have a successful business and at one point in their life have lost or come close to losing everything they had before they became successful.

Ask any successful business owner and they will be able to share with you their terrible stories of sleeping in their car, or losing their house or even getting a divorce and losing their family.

It seems that they all have some sad story where they were at their lowest point, but just wouldn't give up. Eventually it paid off for them and today these people are some of the wealthiest and happiest people in the world.

So let me ask you, do you have that attitude? The attitude that you're willing to give up almost everything you love in life to make your business successful?

95% don't... are you one of the 5%?

If you think that you are, then be warned. Sacrificing family, friends and, possessions is STILL not guaranteed to make your business a success.

Personally I have that attitude and I now enjoy that life style where I get up when I want to and walk ten feet to my office to work. Where my wife doesn't have to work and my kids can run in and tell me how their school day went when they get home.

But I remember the days when I had to borrow money from our church just to pay the electric bill and where week after week my wife and I would argue about not having money and how my sitting in front of the computer was a waste of time and a stupid hobby.

Deep down my wife wanted to support me, but how could she when she wasn't seeing any results of my 16 hour work days. But, to me, it wasn't a hobby or a stupid dream, it was already a reality. I could almost taste it.

But I didn't give up. I even went out and got a sales job to make ends meet; working there during the day and then on my business at night. This went on for years before my business was at the point where I could support my family and pay all the bills. Not only pay all the bills, but buy a house, a boat and pay off the thousands in debt that we once owed.

Was it worth it? Was it worth my wife almost leaving me more then once and my kids not having the best clothes and food for themselves. In my opinion - YES! Those times not only built character, but it strengthened inside of me an attitude that wouldn't quit for anything.

But that's just my story. Just because there are others like it does NOT guarantee that your commitment will net you the same result.

Ultimately, you are the one who has to live with the consequences of your decisions and your sacrifices. 100% commitment to your business at the expense of other responsibilities may increase your chances of success, but you walk a high wire when you do so.

There will always be obstacles (and tough decisions) in your life and business and it's your attitude that will be the main deciding factor in whether you succeed or fail.

The choice is yours.

Bob Proctor - The Science of Getting Rich


Bob Proctor is an author, lecturer, counselor, business consultant, entrepreneur, and teacher preaching the gospel of positive thinking, self-motivation and maximizing human potential. In that endeavour, he follows in the footsteps of such motivational giants as Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale and Wallace D. Wattles.

His extraordinary teaching ability has won Proctor acclaim around the globe and has carried the Canadian-born motivator to the far reaches of the earth. He is as well known in Australia and Malaysia as he is in Alberta and Mississippi.

Born in a little town in northern Ontario, Canada with the low self-esteem that often befalls a family's middle child, he performed poorly in school, dropped out and did a hitch in the navy. Afterward he drifted from one dead-end job to another until a friend introduced Bob to the concept of self-development through Napoleon Hill's classic "Think and Grow Rich".

With the spark generated by Hill's words, Proctor found the initiative to start an office cleaning business which he grew to international scope in his first year of operation. From that experience - after seeing what he had been able to accomplish with just a rudimentary knowledge of personal motivation and goal-setting - he hungered for more information.

His quest took him to the Nightingale-Conant organization to study under his mentor, Earl Nightingale. Once on board, he rose swiftly through the ranks. Eventually, while the Nightingale-Conant organization assumed the forefront in wide-scale distribution of personal development programs, Bob felt the need to take his ideas and methods directly to the individual, to the one-on-one level which had proved so successful for himself.

In the mid 1970's, Proctor established his own seminar company and secured a contract to work with a few hundred agents of Prudential Life Insurance Co. of America in Chicago. During his first seminar Bob made the suggestion that any agent present could write $5 million in business that year if the agent made a decision to do so.

The fact that the seminar took place in July with the year half over and that no agent in that region had ever written so much business in the 100-year history of the company made Bob's suggestion appear to be outrageous. However, when the performance level of the entire division increased substantially with more than one agent actually accomplishing the deed, Bob's reputation as a motivator was established.

Over the ensuing years, Proctor has shared his special message and expertise with hundreds of business entities worldwide and, through a program of live seminars, with thousands of people of all ages in all walks of life.

Meanwhile, in addition to his international best-seller "You Were Born Rich", he found time to author other works as well, including "Mission in Commission", "The Winner's Image", "The Goal Achiever", "The Success Series", "The Success Puzzle", "The Recruiting Puzzle", and "Being Your Very Best".

"The Secret" - DVD and Book

Everyone is talking about "The Secret" and the book behind it, "The Science of Getting Rich" written by Wallace D Wattles back in 1910 but oh so relevant to now.

I shall be talking a lot about The Secret, The Science of Getting Rich, the Law of Attraction and Simpleology. For now, I just recommend the DVD and books from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com:

THE SECRET DVD


THE SECRET book


THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH book




"Give everyone more in use value than you take from him in cash value. Then you are adding to the life of the world by every business transaction." —Wallace Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich, Chapter 6

What Happens When 3 Extraordinary Teachers from The Secret Come Together to Teach The Science of Getting Rich?

"The Science of Getting Rich" is a timeless classic written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. It is a bold title for a book and suggests that getting rich is a predictable outcome if one can master the principles outlined in the book. Here is how Wallace D. Wattles puts it in his own words,

"The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich."

Certainly, this book is well referenced by many of the great teachers today and it is the same book that inspired Rhonda Byrne to produce that runaway success "The Secret". Here is what Rhonda Byrne said on her introductory note to the book,

"I can honestly say that, since that first night when a tattered printed manuscript found its way to me (thanks to one of my daughters), my life has never been the same. Once you read it for yourself, you will understand why". Rhonda went on to produce the movie "The Secret" and the best-selling book of the same title which has sold millions of copies worldwide.

However, learning how to do things in that "certain way" as described by Wallace D. Wattles may be more challenging for some as the book was written nearly 100 years ago. Some of the language is a little dated and much of its wisdom lost from a modern day perspective.

Fortunately, a new training seminar for the Science of Getting Rich has brought the wisdom of this timeless classic back to life for modern readers. Called "The Science of Getting Rich", this program is the most comprehensive training system for mastering Wallace D. Wattles' wealth creation philosophies and principles since its creation. It comprises written, audio and live seminar formats for learning, applying and mastering the Science of Getting Rich

A unique "twist" to the program is the fact that it has an in-built vehicle for creating substantial financial wealth through its affiliate program. This is truly a unique wealth eduction and wealth building program designed to empower any individual with the resources to get rich. It is a program whose time has come. The program would not be possible without the original text from Wallace D. Wattles, the skills of leading teachers of our time, the phenomenal success of "The Secret" and the Internet as a learning and distribution tool.

Traffic Exchanges

A traffic exchange is a site where you view other people's sites to earn you credits with which you can place your own sites for others to view. They can be manual or autosurf. Many have a theme to distinguish them from other sites. They offer the option to show websites, banners and textlinks which click through to URL pages. Some also have members' forums and training.

Widely used to promote internet marketing or home-based online businesses, any type of business can use traffic engines for free advertising providing their product or service has a wide enough appeal. I have seen sites selling wedding favours, computer software, cowboy memorabilia, religious sites, blogs on every subject possible - you name it.

MANUAL SURF
The timer until the next ad appears can be anything from 6 seconds to 60 seconds, depending on whether you are a free member or an upgraded paid member. Surf ratio can be 3:1 (view 3 sites to earn 1 credit) or better. Credits can also be bought. Almost all traffic exchange programs encourage users to build their own referral networks, which in turn increases the referrer's amount of credits. All sites pay commission on referred members who upgrade and most give referral credits on free members and some give credits every time those referred members surf. Sites set up referral contests to offer cash, upgraded status or free credits to the highest referrers. Some also award free lottery tickets or offer games to play.

Progressive Surf
I like Cave Surf because it offers progressive surf, ie the more sites surfed, the better the surf ratio and number of free credits earned. Also, they offer free banner and textlink impressions as long as you are active and have websites in rotation.
Cave Surf
If you join other programs on their home page, you will be upgraded to Gold or Platinum which means faster surfing and free credits. I am a Platinum member and consistently earn free credits through being one of the highest surfers.

TRAFFIC HOOPLA
This free service compiles top lists of traffic engines and safelists based on certain criteria over six weeks periods. You can join Traffic Hoopla and use their splash pages to promote membership in all the programs you join. Today they report these as the best TEs:

Hit Safari

Leisure Audio Books - Download Audio Books

I am unbelievably excited by what Kevin and Rod (the developers) have produced. The reason I am excited is they have built in an extraordinary "What's in it for me?" factor.

So let me tell you what's in it for you! Simply put, there is revenue to be made and lots of it. The Leisure Audio Books team have assembled a magnificently simple and powerful system with two recurring streams of revenue for you!

Remember, if you want to, you can join and prosper in Leisure Audio Books for free, although many of our most successful members prefer to make a small investment in their businesses! The program consists of two components - the sale of downloadable audio books AND a potent membership program. Both of these have the capability of generating substantial revenue on an ongoing basis. You can concentrate on either
component if you wish - but together they are dynamite!

Let me talk about audio books for a minute - Remember if you can download it, you can listen to it. The Audio Books are high quality, hi-fidelity products from the original publishers. There are over 6,000 titles in 160+ categories in your own
store. Plus, you have the power to niche select individual categories or specific titles to suit your own websites!

How many people do you know with cellphones?
How many people have PC's or laptops?
How many people have radios, CD or DVD players?
How many people do you know with Ipods or other portable players?
How many people do you know with memory sticks?
How many people do you know with car audio systems?
How many people do you know with TV systems?
How many people do you know with Gaming Consoles?

Where would you use an audio book?
- The car anytime - specially on long journeys or daily commutes.
- The plane or the train or the ferry.
- The gym, during those boring training sessions.
- The office during lunch break.
- The office for staff motivation.
- On vacation - just lie back and listen!
- The kitchen while you are cooking.
- Training seminars.
- Airport Lounges.
- Doctor's Waiting Rooms.
- Hospitals and Hospital patients.
- In your hotel room when you are away from home.
- Perfect for long distance truck drivers.
- In the class room - let your class listen to their set work.

- Group Spiritual or Religious Occasions.
- Old Age Homes.
- Homes for the Infirm.
- Entertain the Kids or the Grandparents.
- Detention Facilities.
- Listen to your favorite story while Gardening or Mowing the Lawn.
- Foreign Language Study.
- Need a laugh or something to cheer you up?
- Give an audio book as a gift or a present.

Then there is their excellent membership program which pays you as much as 50% commission on members you personally recruit. This is in addition to your audio book sales commission!

AND.....

A back office that is crammed to the roof with simple, easy-to-use features, the likes of which I have never seen before. It is as detailed and comprehensive a program as I have seen in my entire online marketing career!

I am going on a bit, aren't I?

Let Kevin Anderson and Rod Beaumont tell you about themselves - It's an extraordinary venture and I strongly recommend you be part of it!

Rod and Kevin will tell you the whole story.

Affiliate Marketing - What is it?

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make an extra income. Once you have everything all set up and ready to go, you can begin making an income from your efforts. Affiliate marketing is when someone else pays you a commission or a percentage of what you sell for them. For example, a coffee business may pay you 10% on all sales that you make for them. This is how it works:

When a business decides that they would like to have some help selling their product or service, they will then start an affiliate program. When they do this, they are allowing others to sign up and sell their products or a particular service that they are offering. The ones that sign up to the affiliate program have multiple ways that they can market the service or the product. The company that needs the help selling the product will then give all of their affiliates a unique ID number that they can use in their links so that the company can see who the sale came from when a sale is made from an affiliate.

There are many different types of affiliate marketing programs. There are those that offer one time commissions on a sale. Some of them might offer lifetime commissions and others may pay just for leads that you can bring them. It might be a newsletter lead. Just having interested parties sign up for more information is another one.

The type of affiliate program that you choose to have is completely up to the person that is the owner of the business. They can decide the percentage or flat rate that they are willing to pay for a sale or a lead. Then those interested can sign up and help them make sales and bring leads for a certain amount of money.

Those signing up for affiliate marketing and different programs to sell for others can do this in many ways. They can promote the services or the products on a website that is relevant to the affiliate programs of which they are a part. Or they can promote them on a blog. Both of these are great ways to get traffic to your affiliate programs and make sales from them. Some even use email and newsletter marketing as a way to make sales for others as well. Whichever technique(s) you decide to use is up to you.

Once you have chosen the affiliate programs that you want to market, you must read all of the rules and stipulations for that program as all of them will be different. Some may not want their name used in the URL of your website, and some might also not want the particular product or service that you are selling for them used in the title tags for the page, or anywhere else on the page.

Choosing the affiliate marketing programs that you want to go with is not hard to do at all. Choose something that you know about and for which you can be known as an expert. The more passionate you are about the service or product the better, as it will shine through. Once you have all of your programs in place, check out SEO, and find out how to push your website up on the first page of the search engines. This is going to take hard work and determination but you can do it.

Affiliate marketing is something that anyone can learn. Start out by reading a good ebook or blog by someone that is a pro for the best marketing tips and techniques that you can use. Learn from others that have done and accomplished what you are trying to do.

Affiliate Marketing and Home Business

Many of us dream of being our own bosses. The lure of big money and flexible work hours is quite attractive. However, many are afraid to venture out on their own. They fear that they do not have the capital required to get a business started or they do not want to lose the security of their day job.

The solution could be starting a home business. The truth of the matter is that you can start your home business with no money at all. Ask yourself this, do you have a spare room or space in your house? Do you have a computer with an internet connection? Do you have a phone line? If you have these three things you have the essentials of an office from which your home business can be made.

Affiliate marketing can be a great way for you to get started in your home business. Affiliate marketing will provide you with the opportunity to sell either a product or a service. With low capital and little space you may want to concentrate on services.

Once you have made the decision, you need to evaluate your skills. What services can you offer and what skills can you bring? Many people start with affiliate marketing programs from major search engines. If you are good at website design, you could register your page with someone such as yahoo publisher. This way your site will get traffic with the help of the search engine Yahoo. If yours is a sales website, your traffic could translate into increased sales. The more exposure to your site the better.

The other thing you can try to do is attract traffic to other sites. Retail sites such as Amazon and eBay have affiliate marketing programs. If you can generate traffic and increase sales then you make money. Both programs offer ways to increase revenues through links and blogs. These are usually free and worth using. Remember, the more you make the more they make.

Finally, your site can make money in another way. When it is posted on sites such as yahoo publisher or Google Adsense, there will be ads placed. Whenever a visitor clicks on an ad you make money. The more clicks the more cash. The operators take care of all the advertising costs and placement. They also try to place appropriate ads to your page. If you are selling rare books, ads for fish food are not likely going to get clicked.

If you want to start working for yourself but feel you do not have the money then you are wrong. If you have a computer you have all you need. You can also start your home business and work it around your job. You can gradually commit more time as your home business grows.

If you are tired of your job and really want to work for yourself then stop making excuses and do it. Through affiliate marketing programs and selling services you will find that having your home business is easier than you think. All it takes is time and a commitment to succeed. By taking advanantage of the affiliate marketing programs that are currently available, you can make money and improve your own marketing skills. Remember, you can always expand into other areas and venture out totally on your own later. Right now, get marketing and get clicking.
