Your Auto Pilot Setting

Each of us have a personal auto pilot that will affect the level of success we achieve in our life? I first heard this statement at a self development seminar I attended more than 20 years ago so I guess it?s time to dust it off and represent it to a new audience.

Here?s how it works: A pilot has control of Boeing 747 as it hurtles along the runway picking up enough speed to lift this giant aircraft from the ground; when the aircraft reaches the required speed he allows it to become airborne. There is never a thought in his mind questioning: ?What do I do next?? This is because before he even sat in the cockpit for this flight a detailed fight plan was lodged and approved so providing everything is going as planned his next actions will be something like this:

- Climb to the height of 10,000 feet on the current heading. - Alter course to a heading 297 degrees. - When on 297 degrees climb from 10,000 to 35,000 feet. - At 35,000 alter course to 315 degrees.

The pilot doesn?t actually sit their making all these alterations because before take-off he and the co-pilot have already programmed each of these instructions into the auto pilot. Once the wheels have been retracted and flight trim attained he will flick the aircraft onto auto pilot to follow these instructions.

A couple of hours into the flight the pilot may receive a message warning of heavy turbulence ahead at 35,000 feet and instruct him to bring the plane down to 28,000 feet. He will take over the controls and take the flight to the lower altitude. When he receives instructions to return to his pre-arranged flight path he simply flicks the auto back into action and it will resume the course of 315 degrees and climb back to 35,000 feet.

We each have our own built in auto-pilot, sometimes known as comfort zone. My wife is a typical example she has the feeling that unless there is $2,000 in her bank account she is broke. That?s fine and a very good, healthy trait. However, if a bank statement arrives and she finds a balance of $3,000 she is ecstatic and treats herself to a $1,000 shopping spree. This relates to her built in flight path being $2K then she gets a warning of turbulence ahead and takes the reins to $3K where she spends happily until she notices the account is just above or just below her beloved $2K. Then panic sets in and I?m on cheap food for a week or two.

As beautiful and lovely as my wife is (Score 53 Bonus Brownie points for that) she has no hope of ever succeeding in business with her auto mindset. To succeed in business that comfort zone figure needs to be many hundred thousand or million dollars. People are capable of changing their personal auto pilot but most choose not to because, like my wife, they?re perfectly happy in their personal comfort zone.

Because many readers, and subscribers, of this website have an interest in making extra income online this article should be read in conjunction with our articles on goal and outcome setting because this comfort zone is the major reason why so many attempt business and fail.

Learn where your auto pilot is set and be prepared to re-programme for scces.

When adjusting your personal auto pilot do it with a firm view of your desired goals and outcomes in mind.

How to Select Keywords

I have been asked how to select keywords for profit so often by would be internet marketers that I've lost count of how many so I did a detailed explanation on my private marketers blog David T McCarthy and this is the place where my regular followers go to find the no fuss approach to internet marketing.

It is a well known fact that there is nothing difficult about internet marketing so it has always been a mystery to me why more than 95% of those that attempt it fail - most never making one cent in income.

I feel there are two reason for this, the first is the internet marketing industry where overblown gurus charge exhorbitent prices for products designed to ensure you fail. Just stop and think about this for a moment: If they make a living selling things to new internet marketers that actually work then they would never be able to sell to you again would they?

The second and more important reason is that people do not know how to select keywords that will actually make money for them. This is why I wrote a long entry on my personal blog explaining how to find the words that will work for anybody.

It amazes me how little easily understandable explanations exist regarding keyword selection so it was natural that I attempted to put matters right in my blog post. There's no point in complaining about something if you can't offer an alternative exoplanation. so if you have any questions just enter them at the end of the blog and I will get back to you with a public answer.

Read my blog explaining how to select keywords for profit and when you master this system there is nothing except procrastination stopping you from making online income.

Video Marketing For Everybody

 

Video marketing is by far the most effective form of online marketing in the current internet marketing scenario. Because video is similar to television it cashes in on the learning market with great success. Everybody prefers to watch rather than read when learning. So what if you are able to offer very high quality videos teaching the most sought after subjects on line? Do you think people will visit your site? Take it from me they will and they'll thank you for the experience in the most positive way.

But I already hear the protests out there: "I have no idea how to plan and make a video that works." Or: "It costs many thousand dollars to have a professional video made and I can't afford that."

Relax, what if there was a way to get a brand new high quality training video made professionally for you at a very low cost and available through a very low cost membership site? Would that raise your interest level?

Video Marketing made easy for everybody. Follow this link to discover more.

Many experienced internet marketers became more interested in using videos when Google bought YouTube for a gazillion dollars. It is obvious that nobody spends that amount of money unless they have a reason to do so. But Google never, ever give reasons just as they never reveal their page ranking algorithm, so it was time to put the thinking cap on and try to calculate the benefit of videos to web rankings.

We put up two almost identical websites using the exact same keywords. The major difference was that one page had a video embedded and the other didn't and here are the search engine results:

- Without video the page ranks below pagen 10 in a Google search against over 4 million competing pages and has done so for more than six months.

- The page that had the video embedded ranked on page 1 within one week of publishing against the same 4 million plus competing pages. That was almost six months ago. Today it ranks #1 for our chosen keyword phrase.

We make regular income from the page with the video and zero income from the page without.

From the above experiemnt we are able to deduce that the Google page rank algorithm favors pages that contain a video above pages that do not. Our experience is backed by three internet marketers known to us who carried out similar experiments based upon our intitial findings.

In summary a video on your webpage is a ticket to higher rankings for the page and never forgetting that it is also an addeed reason why people searching for the relevant keyword will favor your page above others. It's a win/win situation that serious marketers should be exploring right now.

It makes sense to outsource anything you can't handle in house and video marketing is one such thing.

Finance and Relationships

Few people speak of the link between finance and relationships and yet it remains the worlds number one reason why marriages fail. Your bond may not require $millions but it does require sufficient funding to meet the needs of protecting your loved ones with a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This does not take into account all the other little musts of life like electricity, taxes and the myriad other needs that are far less than luxuries.

It is a fact that more relationships go sour at times of financial need than when the cash is flowing reasonably freely. To ignore that lack of funds puts your relationship under strain and is the same as placing your trust in winning a lottery. The odds are very long;it is far simpler and more productive to study the role of finance and relationships.

Now that we have made this point the question you should be asking is do we have a budget? A budget is the most basic step to controlling money and if lack of money is likely to damage your relationship starting a budget should be of paramount importance.

All finances are controlled by a budget and if you value your long term relationship you must have a family budget that everybody can access and be part of. Just do a Google on free home budget calculator and there are dozens to choose from. Just select the one that suits you best and that is normally the one that appears logical to you.

From the very beginning of your relationship both parties should agree on how finances are to be handled and draw up a budget aimed at achieving their mutual goals. If this is done honestly then you will always have a document that can help you when making decisions about finance. It will also go a long way to protecting your relationship from the arch enemy of all relationships and that is money problems.

Wisdom is in seeing something before it happens and taking action to avoid it. We all know the majority of relationship breakdowns involve lack of finance; be wise and start budgeting now.

Finance and relationships aside you still need to know a lot about making life together work and this link will take you to an interesting article on relationships and falling in love and falling out of love.

Goals And Outcomes

Goals and outcomes are often confused. I have attended many seminars and heard the ?guru? on stage telling people that they only have to set the target to achieve whatever they wish in life. If only finding outcomes was so simple?

People leave the seminar and set some of the most ridiculous goals and outcomes imaginable only to discover within a few months that they are no nearer achieving what they set than the day before they started on this mission. Personal success at this stage is still no more than a distant dream. After this they start to feel as though they are the failures of society and will never, ever, achieve any worthwhile goals.

In truth the guru, due to his/her insufficient knowledge of how the human mind works has done these paying clients the greatest disservice imaginable: They have contributed towards the destruction of self-belief in the majority of their paying audience. The mistake most make is that they preach that it's easy to reach your goals and believe that will lead their followers to favourable outcomes. The sad truth is that one requires the other - you can't just set an outcome and give your mind no stepping stones to reach that objective. The two work hand in glove.

The problem is that most people do not understand the difference between goals and outcomes. You set goals to achieve an outcome and for too many people the goal becomes an outcome. Maybe if I use a basketball analogy to illustrate before giving examples it will become clearer:

Basketball is a game played between two teams; the desired outcome of each team is to beat the opposing team. This is not a goal it is an outcome.

A player sets a goal of putting the ball through the hoop. This is a goal, not an outcome, because a goal is step on a predetermined path to achieve an outcome.

To achieve the outcome of winning the game the teams will set many goals, both defensive and offensive. The team that achieves most of its goals will achieve the desired outcome ? winning the match.

Example:

How often have you witnessed a politician that has become a president or prime minister take office after an election and then appear lost as to what to do? I?m sure 75% of you have claimed this of one politician at sometime during your life. What you are witnessing is the phenomena of a person that has set his outcome to become president or prime minister and after they achieve it there is nothing but a big black void. They have achieved their desired outcome and their minds have no further direction.

Successful politicians set becoming president or prime minister as a goal and have a set of planned actions to improve the lifestyle of the people they represent as an outcome.

A goal is a single step on the road to an outcome and all steps/goals should be easily achievable or you will trip and fall.

If you set an outcome to become debt free in the next two years your first goal should be to create a family budget. Your second goal should be to ensure that the entire family works with you to follow the budget. Your third goal should be to hit your cost cutting targets. Hence you are heading for your outcome by continually achieving a series of small goals. If you only have goals you cannot achieve an outcome because you have no idea where you are heading. If you only set an outcome and have no goals then the outcome remains too far away and you soon give up trying because you feel it is unobtainable. Goals and outcomes work closely to direct your mind to find the required links that give direction to your life.

Achieve Your Goals

?I need to know how to achieve your goals because I already know about setting goals and am still achieving very little.? Wrote Helen, an ayecasher regular reader; this brief message written at the end of last week kept repeating itself in my mind over the weekend. Finally I decided to quit everything and write an article on reaching goals because it is so significant to the essence of this websiteas well as the essence of being successful.

When it comes to how to achieve goals I truly believe in a gem of Eastern philosophy: ?When you find the right question the answer will materialise.? Japanese people will often ponder a question for many years before they ever come out and ask it; when they do ask the question is so sensible and logical that the answer is almost immediate. It is usually the right answer too.

So let us take this system of getting the question right and use a little writer?s license and apply the same philosophy to achieve your goals. Usually in the western way of thinking everything must be immediate and that comes to goal setting too.

We also have a fixation about money using the principle that everything costs something so if my goal is money I?ll soon be able to afford everything. Therefore many of us set a goal resembling: ?My goal is to have one millions dollars in two years.? Or: ?My goal is to have ten million dollars in five years.? I hold my hand up here and admit to setting my goals in this manner for many years until one day I awoke to a blinding flash of the obvious.

Today I use a different system to achieve my goals by visualizing what I want to achieve in terms other than monetary. Some of the things I have visualized are:

- My dream home in a dream location. - The car I want. - Where and how I will travel. - The legacy I will leave when I die. - How I want people to think of me after I leave this earth.

There are many more but the above will give you an idea of the way that my mind works these days. I truly believe in the Power of Attraction and I know that my sub-conscious mind is capable of reaching every goal I set providing I can truly visualize it.

What I write here isn?t new or unique these principles were in place from the very first days of the human race. The problem is people have lost the art of visualization. Our powers of visualization start being attacked from our first day at school.

Remember those beautiful colourful pictures your children used to paint of you when they?d give you purple hair and green lips. What happened to them from day 1 at school everything changed. Teachers told them people don?t have purple hair or green lips your picture isn?t realistic! That is the start of a routine called education that is designed to turn out like thinking robots by the time graduation is achieved. In general visualization is dead by the time you are around age seven or eight.

If you cannot visualize where you want to be you can never reach a destination. Sadly, this is why so many people live their entire life without getting close to their true potential.

In summary, one way of achieving goals is to bring back visualization and to build a mental picture of what you want out of life and truly believe that you are capable of doing it. The most common reason for failing to achieve your goals is that you don?t truly believe that you can achieve them. This is because you set your early goals too high and fail to achieve them. Then you start doubting your ability and worth.

If you are new to goal setting do yourself a favour and set a fairly easy achievable goal. It may be something so simple as to save 2% or 5% of your gross wage for an entire year to enable you to buy a new computer at the end of the year. To motivate yourself to do this you must visualize the computer and all the added benefits that it will have that your present computer doesn?t have.

Visualize it before you go to sleep each night and when you wake up each morning. When you reach this milestone and the new computer is on your desk you will know that you can achieve your goals and suddenly the world will open to you.

Those interested in achieve your goals will probably be interested in goals and outcomes too.

Lose Weight Fast Tips

How do you lose weight fast? How many times have you wondered if there was an answer to that question. The cold hard fact is that there are many ways to lose weight quickly but there is no guarantee that it will work for you simply because it has worked for somebody else. In this article we are going to look a little deeper and attempt to determine what we should look for if we need to lose weight.

Before going into what has a chance of working let us be clear that you are not what you weigh but what you measure. When I diet, which is frequently, I hide the scales because I find they can be distracting. A far greater indicator is my waistband, the size of my thighs and my butt. Isn?t it because of these measurements that we go on a diet?

So, having established that we wish to lose weight to enhance shape we can immediately discard all programs that are focused solely on fast weight loss. Trust me on this one because these plans do work but what they don?t tell you is that the faster you lose it the faster you regain it.

Also there are many diet programs around that offer suspect nutritional advice. You should never go near a diet that isn?t planned by a qualified nutritionist. The object is to lose weight comfortable, not to damage your health. Another good tip is to visit your GP if you are planning to lose a lot of weight and get professional advice concerning what you can or can?t do

Now we?ve established some ground rules for our own safety let?s identify the type of program that will suit you best:

- Think long term by choosing a program that will put you on to fat burning foods. It is a fact that some foods do actually work as fat burners and once you get them into your diet your weight loss is likely to be permanent.

- As you burn fat you will lose weight fast and become more active and you can increase your exercise and fitness regime and this will increase overall health and make you feel even better.

To lose weight fast does not have to be hard work if you go about it in the right way as explained above, here are some weight loss tips for you to ponder:

- Don?t make it a chore, start with a ?can do? mindset and be prepared to wait a few weeks before you start seeing measurement improvements.

- Most importantly do not be shocked if you actually gain some weight after you increase exercise because muscle by volume is heavier than fat. This is the reason why we made the point earlier that you are what you measure, not what you weigh.

- Be reasonable in your quest to lose weight fast. Learn about fat burning foods and build them into your permanent diet. Some fat burners may shock you but try them; they do work.

This is the program I used to successfully lose weight fast; take a look it may suit you too.

Monetizing Websites and Blogs

When it comes to monetizing websites it is time to find a monetization platform for your website or blog without having to sell anything we have been restricted to bowing to the demands of the major search engines and accepting their ads on our sites. In return we are paid a pittance and they regularly record profits by billions. Something just isn't right about that in our reckoning.

Finally an ordinary guy, with the help of a team of techies he has around him, is taking on the major search engines by launching a brand spanking new monetization platform. In fact the launch is now very close and time to get on the early bird list is running out fast. You can do this by opting to receive our newsletter using one of the boxes on this page.

Sadly I am tied by a legally binding confidentiality agreement not to release the little I know of this pending launch of the first new monetization platform for many years. However among the things I can tell you are:

- It is free to you and there are no one time offers or anyhing like that.

- Your commissions will be paid directly to your PayPal account each day regardless how small.

- There is no selling involved.

- You do not need technical skills.

- It is not multi level marketing. (I like to throw that in because I don't like MLM)

- It is not inconceivable that you'll get upwards of 100 "payment received" notices from PayPay in a single day when you learn how to use this monetizing websites system fully.

So what do you need to get started to monetize your blog or website? Simply a website or a blog, that's obvious. Nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't matter what niche your site is in you can still make money.

This could be as big as the launch of Google AdSense about 10 years ago when more than 10,000 people made over $20,000 each month simply by allowing a major search engine to place ads on their websites and receiving a commission.

You can get your name on the early bird list simply by filling out our newsletter subscription form on this page and you'll get notice a few days before launch of this new monetization platform that is for monetizing websites and monetizing blogs.

See our first article on this monetization platform by following this link and soon you will be monetizing websites and blogs like a true professional.

Is Diet Solution right For You?

Before you buy diet solution please read this review because I have actually used the program and can speak from user?s experience. Weight loss reviews can be found all over the web and having read many of them I believe they are mainly written by people that have no experience as users.

For those that wish to go directly to Diet Solution follow this link.

1. Some foods, you?d be surprised which foods, have a natural fat burning capability.

2. Include these foods in your regular diet and they will work on your body fat.

3. Naturally you need to increase your daily exercise routine and I was pleasantly surprised at how little I had to do and how easy my daily routine became after 2 or 3 days.

The program target is to burn off 10% of your body fat in 30 days.

My experience is that I did not achieve this level of fat loss, measured by weight. This claim may be slightly exaggerated but I did achieve 10% fat loss by weight in 38 days and I think that is a very good result.

After the initial surge of losing 10% body fat in 38 days I half expected my determination to fade and the fat burning diet to start slowing.

The truth is the second month got me even more excited because my body shape started improving even though the weight loss wasn?t so dramatic.

Somebody smarter than I once said: ?You are what you measure rather than what you weigh.? And in this case I was starting to see measurement and shape improvements ? I can?t explain how excited this made me. I started measuring myself daily at the time I weighed myself.

The answer is a resounding yes because over the years I?ve tried almost everything on the market, I?ve sweated, toiled, starved and yes, even prayed for weight to fall off me all with little success.

Why did this weight loss program work for me? I guess because it is logical, easy to follow and asked very little of me.

Before I started writing this review to add to all the other diet solution reviews I guess if asked: ?Is there such things as fat burning foods? I would have raised a suspicious eyebrow and thought hard.

Now that I?ve tried it and know it works I can assure you there are such foods and this program reveals them.

Here is a quick link to the website where you can get all details of this low cost fat burning program including a very good video explanation.

Day Tight Compartments

Living your life in day tight compartments isn?t exactly a new philosophy, it first caught the attention of Sir William Osler long before he was knighted ? In fact the idea came to him when he was still a medical student at Montreal General Hospital. At the time he was worried about his ability to pass his final exams and whether he had chosen wisely when opting for a career in medicine. This is the same William Osler who went on to become the most famous physician of his era. He went on to organize the world famous John Hopkins School of medicine and later became Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford. But just like you he had day to day doubts about his ability to rise to the top.

It was in the spring of 1871 when he read 21 words that were to change his life and take him from medical student all the way to the top of his profession. The twenty one words were the words of Thomas Carlyle: ?Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.? Those twenty-one words became the guiding beacon of Sir William Osler and I have to admit I carry them around with me at all times and refer to them whenever there appears to be a mountain of tasks awaiting my attention.

Some years later Osler was on board an ocean liner travelling to Europe when he noticed how when the ship?s captain ordered emergency drill a series of water tight doors were closed and it was these compartments that were formed that gave birth to his ?Day Tight Compartments? theory. From that day forth he taught his students the theory of living life in day tight compartments where they shut out all thought of yesterday because they could not change anything that happened in history. Also to shut out all thoughts of tomorrow because that is the future which nobody can foretell.

This left the focus entirely upon today from within the day tight compartment meaning that all energies are tightly focused upon the job in hand.

As an internet marketer I have used these compartments to focus on the now because the only thing within my control is the now, I cannot change history just as I cannot foretell the future but I can manage the tasks necessary to achieve my daily goal.

To achieve success I focus on having the right equipment [software/tools] available to speed up the tasks set for today and the winning mindset of: ?I live for today and thoughts of yesterday or tomorrow are solely for the procrastinators seeking an excuse for inaction today."

To succeed you must be organized and you will become more organized and focused from within day tight compartments.

The philosophy of working within a day tight compartments is not a new philosophy, in fact it was first used by one of the most eminent medical teachers of modern history.

Inspirational Poem

The most inspirational poem I ever heard is still typed ad slightly crumbled in my wallet ? I am never without and often take it out and read when the going gets tough. Sadly I don?t know who wrote but I first heard it more than 20 years ago when attending a seminar on self improvement more than 20 years ago. So I?ll than seminar presenter Paul Hanna for first inspiring me with this poem:

Don?t Quit.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you?re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit ?

Rest if you must, but don?t you quit.

_________________________________________________

Life is strange with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a person turns about,

When they might have won if they?d stuck it out.

Don?t give up, though the pace seems slow ?

You may succeed with another go.

___________________________________________________

Often the goal is nearer than it seems

To a faint and faltering person;

Often the struggler has given up

When they might have captured the winners cup;

And they learned too late when the night came down

How close they were to the golden crown.

______________________________________________________

Success is failure turned inside out ?

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems afar.

So stick to the fight when you?re hardest hit ?

It?s when things seem worst that you mustn?t quit.

_____________________________________________________

This applies to all people in all walks of life that have a goal and face problems achieving it. Goals and outcome?s decide who will be the winners in this life if it takes an inspirational poem to get us all focused and determined than I suggest you make a copy of this poem, or when like it, and carry it with you everywhere. To me it acts a refocusing point and usually I read it when I need to refocus and it never fails me.

There is another proviso that should be added here and that is that the definition of insanity is to do exactly the same thing again and expect a different outcome. I use this mantra when things are going wrong and invariably my sub conscious brain finds what I?m doing wrong and comes up with an alternative suggestion.

A good inspirational poem or mantra is worth its weight in gold.

This inspirational poem should be read in conjunction with a reaffirmation of your goals and outcomes in life.

Does Ad-Sense Make Money

The question of does Ad-Sense make money was recently reopened during a discuss I had with a few internet marketing contacts during a weekend meeting we hold once each year. Many of our regular readers will be aware that until now I haven?t been the greatest lover of Ad Sense as a monetization model for websites. However I hope they also understand that I have an open mind and am willing to persuaded about any ideas providing they meet basic standards of logic.

The topic was raised in a roundabout manner when we were discussing Google?s recent page ranking algorithm being changed to blog out all the spammy sites that were using other people?s content and had taken over the AdSense business over the past years, even though Google supposedly downgraded the use of copied content. The new algorithm finally rewards quality, original information on a webpage. I started the conversation by commenting how some of my websites had risen in ranking under the new algorithm.

Soon the discussion went into reverse and we were all dreaming of the early days of Google advertising when you could make a reasonable income simply by allowing these little ads to appear on our web pages. Back in those days there was over 10,000 webmasters earning in excess of $20,000 per month. Life was smooth and easy.

Then along came the wise guys who decided: ?Let?s automate the process and just take articles from article sites and automatically publish one per day on our own websites. Google put the ads on them and we make a fortune.? Like anything that is over-exposed it soon dies. Web searchers used to click on the ads out of curiosity in those far off days. Since the wise guys came on the scene people were over-exposed to these classified style ads and simply stopped clicking on them. It?s called ad blindness in the industry.

The weekend discussion led to an exchange of ideas about how, by being very selective and choosing only high paying keywords in niches we can rank highly in, Ad-Sense is on the way back and can make reasonable income if operated over a select few niches where advertisers pay a high cost per click to generate leads.

Find the right Ad-Sense system, like the one listed below, follow it religiously and watch the income flow in.

Ad-sense as a form of web page monetization makes a lot of sense with the right system. It eliminates all selling, list building and allows you to concentrate solely on providing useful and original information,

Your Sub Conscious Brain

Using your sub conscious brain to become a successful person you must first take responsibility for programming it. You have total control and the right of veto over all outside influences. You cannot be successful in any field until you take responsibility for programming your own success. Not your analyst, not your family, your friends or any other organization. You are responsible for your own life and the outcomes you achieve; as was Bill Gates responsible for his successful outcome and Adolf Hitler and Idi Amin were responsible for their cruel and misguided outcomes. It is simply a matter of brain programming, particularly the sub conscious brain.

Get the picture?

Step 1 is to accept responsibility for all that happens in your life ? good and bad.

Step 2 is take on the responsibility of programming your own brain computer.

Going back to the ?garbage in = garbage out? theory we must all change the way we think if we are to lead a successful life. For instance: You are walking along the street and see a dime discarded on the ground. Do you:

a. Walk on and ignore it?

b. Stop and pick it up?

If you answered a. Walk on and ignore it the message sent to your sub-conscious brain is that money is not important to you. From this point forward your sub-conscious will start ignoring links between you and money.

For those that answered b. Stop and pick it up. The message you sent to our sub-conscious brain is that money is important to you and your sub-conscious will start finding links between you and money.

It really is that simple to program your sub-conscious brain and have it working for you. Other things you can do is to start feeding it only positives. Only see the good things in other people, be genuinely happy for them when they achieve something that you haven?t achieved. Show the utmost respect and admiration for success and totally reject any negative comments. Pretty soon your sub conscious brain reacts and starts finding all the right links for you.

If you have friends or relatives that make negative comments stop meeting them. Their negativity will program your sub-conscious brain. These people are working against your chance of success and the more you mix with them the more they drag you down to their level of existence. Please note I said existence not life.

Deserving Success

Whether you are deserving success or failure in life the call is firmly within your own grasp. As regular readers are aware I?m a great believer in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) with a specialization in peak performance. Each day I learn more and hear more excuses not to succeed than I hear desire to succeed. It really gets boring after a while.

So what is it about humans who will happily watch a movie about people succeeding and then walk out and start talking about all the reasons why we could never achieve that level of success? It?s truly a baffling phenomenon about the way we are programmed up to think. On one hand we?re excited and motivated as the movie character moves from adversity to success; then as soon as it?s over we?re looking or reasons why it can?t be done by ourselves. You know the typical comments:

- ?That?s fine in a movie!?

- ?If only real life was like that.?

- ?If I tried that I?d be broke and starving within a month.?

I could make a hundred similar quotes but you get the idea by now. Put simply people spend more time finding reasons for not deserving success than they do for succeeding.

Nelson Mandela once said ?we more frightened of what we can achieve than what we can?t achieve.? He was speaking to a race of people still fighting for basic human rights and probably wasn?t aware that the same applied to 99.99% of humans worldwide. So why are we, as a race, so scared of success? What made us this way?

Our parents must accept a major share of the blame because in trying to protect their special child they try to steer a middle of the road path where it is better to be a public servant with a regular wage than be an entrepreneur who may make billions but could also fail many times along the road.

Schools teach negativity in life; the role of a teacher is much simpler if everybody can be fitted into the same box. Naturally this box is again the box for the mundane.

Is there any university anywhere in the world that runs an entrepreneurs program? Certainly not, that subject remains in the too difficult basket. A business degree from Harvard Business School has produced thousands of Vice Presidents but few Presidents. In fact the number of successful business presidents is ominous by the massive proportion of non-university graduates.

So what is the difference? What makes a person successful? What is deserving success?

First you must acknowledge that the human brain is still the most powerful computer known to mankind. As long as it takes man to produce new, more powerful, computers the human brain remains the most powerful.

Once you can perceive your mind as a computer you need to decide what is your RAM (Random Access Memory) and which is your long term, or hard disk, memory. RAM is available on your desktop and handles all the routine instant tasks required. What must never be forgotten is that RAM is only a very miniscule part of a computer. In your brain RAM is commonly referred to as ?The Conscious Brain? and the hard disk is referred to as the ?Sub-Conscious Brain?.

Einstein was once misquoted as saying: ?People only use 10% of their available brain power.? Rather than argue with such an eminent person let?s accept his 10%:90% proportion as accurate. In that case our conscious brain represents 10% of our knowledge and handles all the mundane day to day survival functions. Our sub conscious brain is where creativity exists and represents 90% of our brain function. It is within this 90% that success and achievement delves. We must learn to access our sub-conscious mind before we can ever reach the stage where we are truly deserving success. How to access our sub conscious mind will follow in the next article.

Are you deserving success? The more you learn about what makes you function the sooner you find the links to take you to where you wish to be.

The Truth About Abs Body Shaping Program

Detailed Review of Truth About Abs Program: Because this market product has been around for some time I thought it high time we had an in depth review of Mike Geary?s Truth About Abs program. I can recall when this program first became available I thought: ?It?ll last for a few weeks.? Man was I ever wrong! It seems to have been around for ages and is still the most popular body building and shaping program available online. Don?t be misled by the word ?Abs? in the title, the truth is this program is more about health, fat loss and body shape which should be important to everybody.

If you want to cut straight to the site click here.

For those that don?t know author of the program, Mike Geary, is a personal fitness expert, both a fitness trainer and author, so he is well qualified to produce such a program. His initial focus is on diet and to quote the author: Six pack abs are developed more in the kitchen than in the gym. The program starts with the diet aspect and progresses thru fitness training. It is complete and seems to work for most people.

We all have abs regardless of gender or age, the problem is they are usually hidden by a layer or three of fat so the first step is to learn how to burn the fat and keep burning it. Some of the foods recommended in the daily diet sheets that are p[art of the Truth About Abs program are very surprising and Mike has included them because they are fat burning foods which will enhance your entire health levels.

From what is already written above you will have gathered that the first part of this program is diet based and the meal sheets that accompany it are definitely not low calorie diet sheets, in fact the program explains clearly why low calorie diets do not work. We were surprised to learn that there comes a time in all low calorie diets where your body defense mechanism refuses to give up fat but of fear that the lower food intake will lead to starvation. Therefore it just refuses to lose more fat for fear of needing it to supplement an inadequate diet.

Before you buy this program be aware that if you do not implement the recommended diet you will not succeed in getting the shape you want. The planned meal sheets are equally important as the exercise program.

We found the section very well written and understandable.

The second part of Truth About Abs is the exercise program and this is not difficult but does require purpose and determination just like any program that will take your body out of its comfort zone. Having followed the program myself, and I?m no longer a young man, I found it easily achievable and well within my capabilities.

The entire program is priced at a very reasonable $39.95, it includes good videos which you can watch online or download to your own computer. It is downloaded direct in pdf format. The EBook is value packed 149 pages and contains links to videos and includes the diet plans mentioned above. He does offer an add-on product which is up to you whether you need it or not.

To conclude this review of truth About Abs we will list the Pro?s and Con?s as we found them below: The Pro?s are:

? You can work out at home with our without equipment.

? No lengthy cardio workouts.

? Testimonials prove the program works effectively and Mike has a massive fan following of people that use the program.

? Solid dietary plan based on eating natural healthy foods.

? Meal Plans Included.

? Workout plans with photos included.

? Email support in case you have questions.

? Suitable for men and women of any age.

? Focuses on quality nutrition and resistance training to tone and firm the body while losing fat.

? Workouts deal with losing fat to see the abs rather than the misunderstanding that endless sit ups make abs.

The Con?s are:

? A number of plugs for supplements, exercise equipment etc, you can ignore them.

? Exercises only have photos rather than videos.

? Physical version only available as an extra charge once you order the electronic version.

? Because this program is so popular it would have been nice to see a users forum operating.

Conclusion:

I cannot believe that the con?s are much of a problem because for a program to run so long and remain successful many of the newer clients hear about it by word of mouth from existing users. This is always a good sign.

Keepingh the best to last this program comes with a 60-Day no quibble money back guarantee if for some reason you find it is not working for you.

New Store Discount Coupons Service

We are amazed at the demand for store discount coupons in the United States and have been researching the subject for some months now. A quick check of Google indicates the term, or variant of it, is searched almost 1 million times per month. We have decided to jump on the bandwagon in a unique way and offer the type of service our readers deserve, especially when they search for coupons for big ticket items.

One of our crew bought an $8K big screen TV about 6 months back and found a printable retail voucher for 5% discount. Imagine her surprise when she discovered she could save $400 on a purchase she was going to make anyway. Since then we have been researching online shopping coupons and have built up our own catalogue of coupons.

This list is so big now that we are able to source store discount coupons for items as varied as diamonds to digital cameras. Walmart to designer shoes and handbags. From Worx Yard Tools to Woodwind instruments. In fact we have discovered so many sources that we have had to design automated software to keep up with the thousands of offers we have access to.

By nature store discount coupons have an expiry date and rarely last for more than a few days while the seller wishes to create a boost to cash flow. Yet we haven?t been able to find anybody that offers a personal service that will attempt to find discount coupons for anything you are planning to buy. That situation stops today:

We at ayecasher.com have started a service that includes a two weekly coupon newsletter to people that subscribe in the box below and we will also offer to use our software to search for a coupon for any big ticket buy you are planning to make. All you have to do is use the contact us form on this page and tell us what you are planning to buy and we will put our program to work on your behalf.

Naturally we cannot guarantee that we will find a coupon 100% of the time but our system is:

- We search our continually updated data base. If there is store discount coupons there we?ll send it back to you immediately.

- If there is no ticket in our database we will contact the manufacturer and/or their man sales agents and request a voucher. Again there is no guarantee but our test marketing has found that many will issue a coupon voucher rather than risk losing a sale.

We will always reply within one working day of receiving your request.

During the past six months of research we have learned much about the coupon voucher industry and made many valuable contacts. Now we would like to put that expertise to work for you.

Today our research has moved on to other nations like Australia, Canada New Zealand and the UK and hopefully we will be presenting coupons specific to those countries in the near future.

We must answer the inevitable question: ?What?s in it for us?? Some of the vouchers will only be available through sites which will pay us a small commission for sending business their way. Without some form of income we could not provide such a time consuming service to you. Just understand that we do not get a share of the coupon value because this is set by the vendor

You want shopping coupon news fast then sign up to our newsletter in the box below. You want a specific discount coupon just use the contact us form at the bottom of this page. We will never share your contact information with anybody

Click here to return to home page after you have subscribed to our store discount coupons newsletter above.

Internet Marketing Success

Internet marketing success with your home based business

If you're running internet home based businesses or are considering getting into one, there are some steps you need to follow in order to make your endeavor successful.

First of all, it's easy to get caught up in all the hype of the many products that are offered to help you in your business. They all claim to be the best or have the best formula or system that makes everything easy. Common sense should tell you that not all offers can be the best and new systems are very rare indeed. In fact most of the internet marketing success stories they spin are totally false; as is the evidence they show to convince you to buy.

Of course, you first need a product or service to sell. And that is actually often the easiest part of starting a business.

But the reality is that there are really only three steps you need to master in order to grow your business:

- You need to get your business in front of the people who will be interested in buying your products or services.

- You need to build a list of all of the people who take a look at your business, even if they don't buy.

- You need to build a relationship with the people on this list so that they become buyers or repeat buyers.

In short, you need traffic, a list, and communication and internet marketing success truly is as simpe as that. People that attempt to tell you it is more difficult do so to sell their own products.

Let's start with traffic. If you're on a budget, you can use the many free or low-cost traffic generating tools out there such as Facebook. Twitter, Blogger, Wordpress, USFreeAds, Craigslist, and YouTube, just to name a few. These are extremely effective places to tell people what you are offering. You can also do some paid pay-per-click advertising on some of the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Facebook.

When it comes to building lists for your internet home based businesses, there is one tool that is essential. That is an autoresponder.

This tool allows you to place a form on your website, blog, or whatever web page you are using to create interest in your product. [Check out the subscribe to Ayecasher VIP Group on this page]

Generally, you offer something free like a newsletter, a sample product, or partial service, in order to get the people to fill in their contact information. This information is then added directly to your list of clients/potential clients. So, you can now email them with updates, information, new products, or whatever you want to communicate with them in order to help you build your relationship with them.

In this day and internet age, the personal touch is becoming more valued, simply because it is less frequent. Everything is automated including customer service, sales, and emails. So, if you can add a little bit of personalization to your automated efforts, it will go a long way in establishing trust with your list and clients. How can you do this? Send out cards every once in a while for birthdays or holidays. Communicate on Facebook. Make some phone calls. There are several ways to show your customers that they are important to you. Asking for feedback helps as well.

If you can master these three simple rules, your internet home based businesses will be successful.

Internet marketing success can be yours if you have the right tools to make it happen and you don't need to pay excessive amounts to find software and tools that work for professional marketers.

Internet marketing success is a scince, not an art so there is no reason why anybody can't achieve it with the right training.

Never pay too much for unproven tools and software, usually they don't work well. All the best Internet Marketing tools have been around for years and you can find them all at this link

The Link Between Enthusiasm And Personal Success

Enthusiasm is a key factor in personal success ? if you cannot believe in something you cannot succeed at it. Simple, but true, logic. So I ask you to find a quiet place, sit down,close your eyes and think of everything that is affecting your life today and make some hard decisions.

Recently I took the rouble to do some tracing on the origin of words and the English word enthusiasm comes from the Greek word Entheo which translates to: ?The inspiration within us?. It could also be translated as coming from the soul of the person.

It is impossible to fake your feelings if you are not happy about the way your life is going ? everybody eventually see?s through your charade and you end up looking like a fool.

How you feel and how you tell the world you are feeling is communicated through eyes. It has been written that your eyes are the window to your soul. It is almost impossible for most people to tell a convincing lie when they do not look the other person in the eyes because they fear that by looking you straight in the eyes you will see through their charade. If you fail to make solid eye contact when making a statement to somebody the value of your statement greatly diminishes, in fact some business people that I know will automatically dismiss any statement made by a person that doesn?t look them in the eye when the statement is made.

Another unidentified scribe once wrote: ?The only thing more catching than enthusiasm is lack of enthusiasm.?

Think about that for a moment before you start asking yourself how enamored you are about the current projects that are affecting your life, or even blocking your path to success. Anything you find that you are working on and does not meet this criterion you should immediately abandon and focus only on the things you truly enthuse about. Then just watch your life soar to new heights.

Using enthusiasm is part of self knowledge which is the only true path to personal success.

Free Affiliate Software

So why are we giving away our in-house free affiliate software?

About 5 weeks ago I was invited to be a guest speaker at an internet marketing seminar: you know what a guest speaker is? He?s the guy that comes on straight after lunch when everybody is a little tired from over-eating and their minds have wandered far from the subject matter of the seminar. I?ve heard the role referred to as ?cannon fodder? in the past; but as a seasoned speaker I know how to handle this situation.

First you bring the audience to life with a little on the feet action, then move people around and get them sitting in another seat away from their comfort zone. By this time they are usually hoping you?ll just go away and get out of their lives. Now is the time to motivate them with a question like: ?Everybody that has made $100,000 as an online marketer please stand up??

There is usually a deathly silence followed by some uncomfortable movement in the seats. [Only once in the years I?ve been doing this has somebody actually got to their feet. This guy today is considered a guru and makes close to a million each year.]

Now I have the attention of everybody ? just as the offer of free affiliate software should have your attention. It is time to get people involved so I rephrase the question: ?OK, I know you?ve come here to learn so setting such a high target was a little unfair. So please raise your right hand if you?ve ever made $1,000 online??

This always gets a response because you can be sure that at least 50% of the audience have actually made something and will raise their hand even if they haven?t actually made $1,000. It?s an ego thing and I was exactly the same when I started out. You know the old proverb: Fake it till you make it! It?s a good proverb because if you can?t build a mental picture of life when you make it then it?s unlikely you?ll ever make it.

Now that you have their attention it?s time to get back to basics and explain that internet marketing is primarily a numbers game. The person who points a million visitors to the sales page will make more than the person who drives a thousand people to the sales page. Therefore to make money online you need the following:

- A product that services a need or desire.

- A secure sales page where people can buy that product using their credit card or PayPal etc.

- Traffic. Or visitors to the sales page.

Naturally there are other things but they fall under the above three concepts.

The next question is which of the above three concepts isn?t working for you? 90% will say the third concept: Getting sufficient traffic to their websites. Then just out of the blue, completely unplanned, I asked if anybody would like a copy of the software I used to gather maximum free traffic to my sales pages. About 30% raised their hand and I thought this was a very low response so I added: What if I gave it away for free? The remaining hands were immediately raised.

I quickly wrote my email address on the whiteboard and told them to send me an email in the next 3 days to get a copy of my free affiliate software - The best and simplest FTP program online is free to you . We gave out 161 copies that week and keep getting thank you messages from people that are using it. So I?ve decided to open that offer to all our regular readers by setting up a website to automate the process ? I plan to leave it up for 2 weeks or until a further 200 copies have been claimed. To get your free affiliate software follow the link below.

To succeed online the vital ingredient is traffic and you have the choice to buy it using advertizing or get free traffic using search engine optimization. We are lovers of free traffic for obvious reasons and using our free affiliate software will help you overcome this barrier.

OK Guys, that offer has reached the maximum 200 downloads but this page has become so popular I've decided to put up a few other pieces of software that you can download and use totally free of charge. In fact you can even put in your own ads in some of them and go viral.

For those among you that have trouble using FTP to put up a website we are pleased to give you a free copy of the simplest FTP available online today. If you can't handle this one maybe you should seek another career.

To succeed as a marketer you need to be able to build a website and upload it. The software we are giving is exactly the tool we use.

Bookmark this page because we have a lot of free affiliate software that will be offered here in the near future.

Taking Action To Succeed

Call to Taking Action:

When is the right time?

Like now baby, right now!

The above statements appear stupid when put down on paper like that? Let me be honest with you and make the point loud and clear that without positive movement there is only inertia. The majority of people fail to achieve to their life potential simply because they do not take action at the time it is needed.

The main reason why so much future planning fails to materialize into positive results is because people fail to set a date when they create the goal. A goal, or target, without a date for both start and complete is unlikely to succeed. Taking action requies a specific time to start the action nd achieve the goal.

Therefore the first step to success is to set a date for taking action and follow it through.

You are not alone in your inaction, 95% of the world population are with you and that is the main reason why some 5% of the population share 80% of the wealth. In case you have a math problem that means 95% are left to scrabble for the remaining 20% of wealth that is available. It only comes after taking action.

The same applies for all achievements, 5% control 80%. Is that unfair? How can it be because we all have the ability to raise our performance and join the elite ? there is no special password or key to the door. No glass ceilings exist and everybody is welcome, all you have to do is something rather than nothing NOW.

It is human nature to spend time prevaricating and setting up boundaries and rules and then fail to take action. Have you ever watched a group of children playing: They spend 45 minutes making rules and amending rules followed by five minutes playing the game. We carry this attitude with us as we grow up and are happier talking about something than actually doing it.

You think that happens? Just look at industry and commerce and how much time is spent in meetings discussing things. If the same amount of time was spent taking action there would be little reason to meet about anything except a few drinks on Friday evening. Be honest; how often have you walked out of a meeting and thought ?what the heck was that all about?? So here we have a case of prevarication rather than deeds by adults in senior positions in the workplace.

Don?t worry about it, you used to do it as child so it?s a comfort zone as an adult. But does it get you or the company anywhere? Occasionally yes, usually no; meetings are fine when there is immediate action and an immediate outcome, otherwise they are just an excuse to prevaricate, to fill in time so that you look busy.

This website is about achieving what you are capable of achieving in life and before you can reach these heights ? believe me you will astound yourself when you discover how good you really are ? the most important step is action. The act of doing something that challenges you is the very best exercise for both brain and confidence. It is the first positive step to achieving what you are capable of and really getting to the position in life that your God gave each of you the equipment to achieve.

What to do:

Determine what you want to achieve in your life, it may be a position or a possession and give yourself a reason to achieve it. Not a phoney reason like: ?Because I want to.? That will not be incentive enough for your brain to find the links you need to get to where you want to be. What if you believe that by putting your own house in order you will be able to devote more time to a youth project that will help make the world a slightly better place?

Isn?t this incentive enough to start taking ation to put your own house in order and eliminating debt, ensuring the income is enough to meet all future bills when they fall due and buy you a home that is suitable for your family? That is a good first goal because you have a terrific reason for it to work.

What happens after you achieve that initial goal will amaze you and everybody around you because you will become a super new confident, responsible person, But, and this is most important, you will have the knowledge, confidence and mindset to achieve anything you wish from life. Take action for success, you'll be surprised how simpleit is.

Taking action today will get the success ball rolling?

This is the best taking action tool I've ever come across. If you find too much still outsanding a the end of the day then you will find this tool invaluable.

Making Money Online

Making money online seems to be the most common topic in mail we receive. It seems to be an area where people spend most money for least results if our mail is an indicator.

Some of the things we are told include:

- I seem to spend thousands of dollars following advice but never seem to get any results.

- I have followed a program I bought online to the letter and never made a cent.

- How do I get traffic to my offer page?

- Does anything sell online?

Those four statements are a microcosm of the many emails we receive seeking advice or opinions about making money online.

This is a dilemma for us because although this website is primarily about lifestyle and understanding people we do from time to time mention that we are also online marketers.

We never claim to be guru?s because many of the articles on this website warn you about believing the self-proclaimed gurus. Most of them [gurus] couldn?t sell a heater to an Eskimo.

Many were just fortunate enough to be online in the days when Google AdWords cost a few cents and people willingly joined their lists. In short they were the easy days when people saw the novelty of buying online and buyer resistance was unheard of.

Today those conditions do not exist and 90% of what is preached by self-proclaimed experts is so out of date that it has no chance of working.

Be warned you will not succeed by the amount of money you spend but rather by the amount of money you make.

Having read what I?ve written above may make you believe that making money online is near impossible. This is not the case. Today more money is spent online that at any time in the past and this amount increases by 15% each year worldwide. So we could argue that it has never been easier to run an online business.

The internet is maturing at the same rate as the users mature; people are more aware of bargain shopping and rarely jump at the first offer of anything they see online. They demand better service and better protection. All of this is fair and reasonable.

It could be argued that the past 15 years of internet marketing have been the Wild West days where the biggest crooks appeared to be the most successful marketers. Today the tactics they employed are frowned upon by the buying public so they can only sell to newcomers who are not yet used to them.

We have decided to write a few articles that may help would be internet marketers find their feet in this industry and start to make steady income and build from that base. We will issue these articles in our newsletters s if you wish to follow simple, honest, step by step instructions for making money online you need to add your name to our newsletter subscribers below.

Some of the things we will not do include:

- Tell you of a scheme that guarantees $10K a month or more.

- These schemes never work for anybody except the person selling them.

- Tell you of programs that you need to succeed which will cost you money and make us commissions. If we ever recommend a paid program we will give you a direct link or tell you that we make a commission if you buy through the link.

- We will never send you emails promoting any products either before at launch.

We will endeavour to direct you to free software wherever it exists providing it will help you in the very simple task of improving your marketing clout.

We do not claim to be expert online marketers but we do make a pretty good living solely by selling things online. There is nothing difficult about selling online and having people come back to buy a second and third time. People who claim it is difficult are normally trying to sell you their course or software which promises making money online will be much easier if you buy.

Making money online isn't too hard a task. You just need to have a plan and follow it.

Internet Security

Internet security is of paramount importance to all people that buy products online. We all know about identity theft and how it is a growing hazard to all who venture into the world wide web. This section of ayecasher deals with another aspect of internet security that is pertinent to people that buy online.

Until you start buying online it is almost impossible to understand the many ways that internet traders have of accessing your money. In fact the internet in 2008 can be likened to the American Wild West of the nineteenth century in as much as it is still waiting for the honest Sheriff to ride into town and start laying down a few rules for safe living.

When you feel safe with the level of your internet security it is time to start building your own online business. Don't ever make the mistake of rushing in and thinking that you can trust everybody.

The first internet security level is to be cautious in all dealings and understand that many people out there are not as honest as we would like them to be.

Beware making internet payments using a credit card; from time to time we all make purchases online and we usually make the purchase for a reason. Sometimes, however, we purchase a small item for just a couple of dollars and haven?t read the spiel on the over-long sales page that tells us that if they don?t hear from us after 30 days we have agreed to subscribe to a service of some type. I have been buying online for more than ten years now and even with that amount of experience I have recently been caught in the trap; so how somebody that is new to the net can avoid it is a serious internet security problem that should be addressed.

To help you to understand what I am talking about it is best to explain the series of events I refer to and then suggest ways to avoid being caught a similar online security trap.

After receiving an email from one of the better known internet gurus to pay about $2 dollars for access to a site for 30 days: ?Just To See How Good It Is? I ignored the golden rule of understanding before purchasing.

His sales letter, like 99% of sales letters, was just too long and I didn?t have time to read it. The low cost appeared a reasonable price to pay just to see what it was all about. As there was no option offered to pay using the safety of PayPal I gave details of my credit card.

After a few days of checking out the website I decided it was not for me and forgot about it. That all took place almost three months ago.

Yesterday I received a credit card statement and was shocked to see that two payments were taken from the card by the owners of this site. The first for over $102 the second for $27. I telephoned the credit card company to ask who these people were and discovered during that call that the same payments had also been taken on the following month and will show in my next statement. This alerted me to the fact that I had allowed my usual internet security standards to slip.

I instructed the credit card company to stop all future payments to this source and they informed me: ?We cannot do this ? you have obviously entered a contract with this company and must ask them to cease taking money from your card.?

This raises the question of whose card is it? But that is for another article.

The fact of the matter is the credit card company will do nothing to help you if you find yourself in this position. In fact they encourage an insecure internet by handing your right to control your credit card expenditure to a party that is not responsible to pay your bill.

Finally I went to the website of this online guru and using their contact form requested that all future payments from my credit card cease immediately. - That was 24 hours ago and so far I haven?t even had the courtesy of a reply, other than the automatic one sent by auto-responder. So I am assuming that the taking of these payments will cease.

This brings us to the question of what can we do to avoid this situation: It is pointless to say ?pay more attention when reading a long sales page.? Nobody has sufficient time to do that. So here I will state what I propose to do and leave you to make your own decision.

In future I will not deal with any company or person online that do not accept payment by PayPal; regardless how big and well known they may be.

I hope I?m not sounding like a paid ad for PayPal because I am not; but I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. If you pay by Paypal you are able to go online and cancel any subscription that you don?t wish to pay by the simple click of a couple of buttons. Sellers do not get access to your credit card details and if you feel that you are not getting what you pay for PayPal will act as court of arbitration to ensure a satisfactory conclusion.

This raises another question: ?What if I want to buy something and the seller does not have a PayPal option??

In future I will just not buy for two reasons:

a. Any trader can apply for and get an account with PayPal.

b. The only traders that cannot be a member of PayPal are traders that have previously breached rules and are banned from using the service.

Beware making internet payments when you are asked for details of your credit card, alternatively write to your credit card provider and ask what your rights are in a case similar to the one listed here. Never forget the importance of internet security and the first line of internet security is you. You have the choice to deal or refuse to deal. If the internet cowboys stop getting sales other than through a reputable agent like PayPal they will soon join or cease doing business.

Another Step Forward

Another step forward for the new website monetization program was recorded a few minutes ago when PayPal gave the website and business plan the final seal of approval.

It has taken seven long weeks for PayPal to grant the approval because we are talking about a very major project here. The site is built to handle 100 million visitors each day from day 1. The business plan is unique because it will pay your commissions each day. Nobody in online marketing does this; making it a 100% first ever situation.

We are re-running this article to satisfy the growing number of people contacting us about it. Sadly I am unable to answer your questions publicly because of a legally binding agreement. What I can do is give you a brief analogy:

Today you look at AdWords as a form of online advertizing and realize it has become four times more expensive than it was a few years ago to advertize and is gradually becoming a place where only major corporations will be ale to advertize. It is becoming way too expensive for small to medium businesses to use. So there is a market for a more affordable platform. Now put yourself in the shoes of those of us that jumped on the AdSense bandwagon many years ago and made big bucks by allowing these ads to appear on our websites. They were great times and so will this be for the people that are first in.

So is this another step forward in internet marketing? We truly believe it will be and because participation is free we're sure you will too.

The other monster benefit is that it is free for you to join. This isn?t MLM but is much closer to AdSense where all you need is a website or a blog capable of hosting ads and you can benefit from this unique plan from the day it launches.

All that is required before launch to the public is a little more Beta testing incorporating the PayPal system ? heck you want to get your commissions don?t you? ? Iron out any remaining flaws and launch will be upon us.

Those that haven?t already added their names to the early bird list should follow the link below and act now because there is an unfair money making advantage that will be announced at the launch that will greatly benefit all early birds. People on the list will be informed a short while before the launch to give you the opportunity to benefit more than others.

This step forward in this instance brings us much closer to the launch of the first new monetization platform since Big G launched AdSense.

As the new monetization program takes another step forward you may like to read the original article.

New Internet Marketing Blog

This internet marketing blog post is going to be pretty short because I don't want to distract anything from this blog that should have been started many years ago but David T McCarthy is not a publicity seeker and has often said no to writing a public blog because he is too busy making income online.

This man has said he wants to specialize in teaching seniors (people over 50 years old) how to market online but if the system works, and Dave's definitely does work, there's no reason why everybody can't benefit from his blog.

You can get to his blog thru this link. He has told me that he plans to to build a complete course through his free blog with extra's to people that subscribe to his VIP list. If this is the case then we're all in for a rare treat because he knows the business through experience like few others.

The first couple of blog posts will tell you much about Google, about the recent Google Panda Slap and the further 49 slaps Google has planned for this year and hasn't yet announced.

It is made perfectly clear that he rarely, if ever, uses Google as a source of traffic and I can't wait until he starts disclosing the traffic sources he uses by subscribing to his VIP list.

I warned you Dave's blog will be different and how many of the Guru's have you ever heard stating that google isn't the place to find traffic?

Here's the link to David T McCarthy's brand new Internet Marketing Blog. Why go with the flow when you can go with the winners?

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2011 to all of our readers, even those that follow the Chinese year system, we won't forget you when Chinese new year comes around but still invite you to join the western new year celebrations and our wishes are for everybody.

Most of our readers are attempting to become internet marketers and depending upon your skill level you require either more training or better tools to help you make it to the level you wish to achieve.

As this is a special happy new year posting I want to find something that will be of use to all levels of marketer and to start let us look at training that is available:

Each day you receive emails from self-proclaimed gurus telling you how to make a fortune if only you buy their product. You don't need me to tell you that the only person making a fortune is the person selling it. I'm not saying free is best because free does not work for the following reasons:

- When anything is free people tend to disregard it as insignificant and simply save it on their computer and never follow it up.

- Usually programs that are given out free are not very good programs or are so out of date they are worthless.

Ultracourse is different because it is our program because our main business is professional training and we are also reasonably successful internet marketers. The biggest problem with online training is that it is presented by successful people who don't have a clue how to train others to duplicate their success.

To avoid the usual problem of information overload we have produced a series of more than 200 short videos, short to avoid information overload, together with written guides that cover every facet of internet marketing. You can access the course using the links on this page.

Here is our happy new year 2011 link to our Ultracourse. The definitive internet marketing course that shows you everything; unlike the majority that attempt to sell you one fragment of the puzzle.

Now we come to Happy New Year 2011 to those of you that already have a successful marketing plan but still fail to sell for some reason. Have you ever considered that you may actually be making sales that are being hijacked by unprincipled people? Believe me this practice is so common that all successful marketers assume that it could happen to them.

This is why you will find it hard to succeed using affiliate link URL's when sending customers to a sales page. Personally I spent over year spending money to drive people to various offers and never received any commission. It was then that I decided to professionlly mask the links. Guess what? Commissions started to flow. I did nothing different except profesionally mask all affiliate URL's

We had our Ultra Maxed software designed and made to do a variety of tasks but masking proved to be the most important one we used. Ultramaxed software has been around for a long time now and is still a top seller because people know it does the job it claims to do in the most professional manner.

When it comes to software you should be looking for programs that have stood the test of time and understand that the best marketing software has been around for a long time whilst 95% of the offers you receive in your email inbox will be forgotten within 30 days of launch.

Normally we don't link to our own products but we also try not to recommend unproven products so I'm sure you'll forgive us at this festive time of year.

Happy new year 2011 to all our readers.

Ultramaxed is just one of our many software tools produced to make internet marketing as simple as this complex subject can be.

Earn Cash Online Now

How do I earn cash online quickly? I give up trying to count the number of time I?m asked this question when I mention that I?m an internet marketer. I guess I could be facetious and reply: The same way as you make money quickly by owning a bank or a corner store. But that would simply be answering a valid question with a non-valid question and we?d all be losers.

The fact that 95% of people that attempt internet marketing fail is almost unbelievable and is a massive indictment of the self-proclaimed gurus that claim to teach internet marketing to the masses. These figures prove one, or all, of the following:

- Self-proclaimed gurus can do but they can?t teach.

- Self-proclaimed gurus can?t do what they preach.

- Self-proclaimed gurus set out to deceive and have found a ready-made market that will happily throw good money after bad.

Harsh words? Yes they certainly are. Do I have the right to speak them? That is for the reader to decide. What I will say is that over the years I have spent in excess of $50,000 on the products these self-proclaimed gurus have been selling and have failed miserably to make them work. Like everybody else I wanted to earn money online fast and tese systems were just not working as they would.

My success did not start until I decide to withdraw from the mailing lists of these ?experts? and apply little commonsense of my own. This is when income started to flow and confidence started to rise. As confidence in my ability to earn cash online grew so did my income.

This has led me over the past few years to examine how I was so stupid to spend so much money and not get any result in the form of income and the results of that thinking may interest you:

- I already have a reasonably successful offline business that produces a good cash flow. I was happy to use this cash flow to fast track learning internet marketing. This is a very bad business philosophy and I?d like to quote somebody far cleverer than I:

?People fail not because they don?t know how to succeed but because they don?t have to.?

I didn?t have to because I was treating my online business efforts as a hobby.

That is a personal reason, now we come to how the self-proclaimed gurus misled me.

First we need to examine who these gurus are and how they made money before they started selling their get rich quick schemes. 99% of them were affiliate marketers in the early days of Google AdWords advertising when you could buy keywords for a few cents each.

All you had to do in those days was buy a few keywords relevant to your product and hundreds of thousands of visitors arrived at your sales page and it resulted in making money fast and easy.

Naturally today AdWords do not have the same pulling power because people know that if you click on them you are directed to a sales page.

In the early days adwords had a fascination because they were new and everybody clicked on them. Those days no longer exist and most of the people that made money as affiliates in those days have made an industry telling people how they can follow in their footsteps. The truth is these systems are no longer a valid way to earn cash online and these gurus have not sold as affiliates (in traditional sense)since these days.

If you want to earn cash online today those systems are so outdated that they are useless.

Today all these gurus do is create get rich quick products that are never proved and they get together with all their buddies ad give them a commission for recommending the product to their subscribers list. This is not internet marketing that anybody can follow because you have to be a member of the inner sanctum and have a list of more than a hundred thousand subscribers to be part of. It is a very closed shop and explains why when a new product is releaed you are bombarded with dozens of emails attemping to sell it to you and promising tht this is the true way to earn cash online.

The shots the show of how much the system has made are usually misleading because they are shots of the earnings of the product vendor and the actual earnings are made by their buddy affiliates. They are not shots of the account of an affiliate marketer.

This article is starting to get too long so I will write a concluding article tomorrow on how to earn cash online to complete the full picture.

If you want to make cash online then your going to need products and information to sell. You can also pick up a free copy of my marketing report while you chek it out.

Follow this link to the second article in this series which will show some of the scams to beware of if you are to earn online.

Christchurch Earthquake Appeal

Christchurch earthquake update March 7, 2011.

I've purposely allowed a couple of weeks to pass before updating this thread and I would like to start by saying thank you to all of our readers that sent a subscription to Christchurch City Mission. You can be assured that your donation will have gone to help the most needy cases.

As usual after any disaster there are happy and sad stories that have followed: On a happy note one young lady who was rescued from a building on the Wednesday after the quake and decided not to allow the disaster to spoil her wedding day. She bravely went ahead with her marriage on the following Saturday. This wedding was the first real sign of life getting back to normal.

Another note of good news was that no bodies were found in Christchurch Cathedral when rescuers finally managed to sort through the debris.

But there is also bad news with regular after shocks still rocking the city - on one day last week there were 5 after shocks all registering higher than 3 on the Richter Scale. These after shocks started many buildings swaying and brought a temporary halt to search and rescue work.

The death toll has now reached 160 with more than 40 still officially missing. It is now just about impossible that anybody else can be found alive.

The cost of rebuilding Christchurch and the beautiful port city of Lyttleton has now exceeded $12 billion and it is estimated that it will take 10 years to rebuild.

The people of Christchurch are still in need of help and our links to the City of Christchurch Mission in earlier reports on this page are still open if you can spare some money.

This will be the last time we update this report on the Christchurch Earthquake but please don't forget the needs of the survivors.

Christchurch earthquake update 23 February, 2011.

Twenty-two hours have now passed since the latest earthquake hit the City of Christchurch in New Zealand's South Island and a few more facts are emerging. I'm sure your local news service has chronicled the acts of bravery by ordinary citizens attempting to find people that are trapped in vehicles or collapsed buildings so I will not concentrate on this aspect of the disaster.

The most common question I hear is: "Why is there so much damage from this quake that measured 6.3 on the Richter sale than there was in the September 4, 2010 quake that measured 7.1?"

The answer is relatively simple:

- September 4, 2010 the epicenter of the quake was 40 kilometers from the center of Christchurch. February 22, 2011 the epicenter was only 4 kilometers from the center of Christchurch.

- September 4 2010 the quake was morethan 10 kilometers below the suface. February 22, 2011 the quake was very close to the surface.

- The major quake last September, together with the almost daily after-shocks have weakened the foundations of many buildings and yesterday's major 6.3 strength quake was too much for the damaged foundations to withstand.

- Casualty wise the Septmber 4 quake happend at 4 am on Saturday morning when the central business district was deserted. Yesterday's quake was at lunchtime Tuesday and the CBD was full of people going about their daily routine.

- The biggest worry now is because yesterday's quake was so close to the surface it has opened gigantic holes beneath the surface and houses and buildings are sinking into these holes. It is happening gradually and at present is the biggest fear for local inhabitants.

The problems are mounting for this courageous bunch of people and they desperately need all the outside help they can get. New Zealand is a long way from most major countries so you can't just pack a bag and volunteer to help. You can however make a donation to the people on the ground in the thick of the problem like the Christchurch City Mission. We chose this on the ground charity because they are not overburdened by massive overheads and every cent you donate will be used to help those with most need. Also they have a very flat management system so decisions are made fast and carried out immediately.

So far the total damage bill in Christchurch is estimated at $7 billion dollars and many politicians these days talk of billons of dollars like it is small change. Just remember that New Zealand have a population of under 4 million people and the task of finding at last $7 billion dollars is a very steep mountain to climb.

They will not ask for it but they sorely need your help.

One picture I saw on TV yesterday was of the damage to Christchurch Cathedral where I saw a shot of the few remaining pews at the back of the Cathedral (closest to the entrance) and I was reminded that as recently as last October I attended a service there. A massive stone pillar lay across the area of the Cathedral where I sat for this service and acted as a reminder of how tenuous our grip on life really is.

I am not a New Zealander, as I've stated before, but I know how generous New Zealanders are when other nations face such a catastrophe and I urge everybody that can afford, even a small amount, to click on one of the links from this page to make a donation. All you need are good intentions and a credit/debit card and your act of kindness will become one of the highlights of your life.

We have left previous articles on his subject below this post so you can read more if you wish.

This article published Februry 22, 2011

Breaking news: Yet another Christchurch earthquake taking place as I write on February 22, 2011. This earthquake was not as strong as the one reported in in the article below, written in September 2010, but because it took place close to the surface has caused far more serious damage.

Also it took place at 1 pm New Zealand time when people were at work or in the city so casualties are inevitable.

As I write the Prime Minister of New Zealand has announced 65 confirmed deaths but this figure will surely rise.

Also one of the most beautiful Cathedrals in the world, Christchurch Cathedral has been badly destroyed.

I have left my original article printed below and thank all of you that gave so freely then and beg you do the same again.

Christchurch needs the help of anybody that can offer help, even if it's just the cost of a cup of coffee, but larger donations are needed if it is possible for you to spare more. I am linking you direct with Christchurch City Mission because I know everything you donate to them will be used to help people that have lost everything and need immediate help.

Please be as generous to New Zealanders as they are always generous in helping others who are in need.

Christchurch earthquake now reads two major earthquakes in the same town.

These people need all the help you can spare and they will be eternally grateful for any donation. Join me in helping those in need it's the greatest thing any person can do.

The recent Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand registered 7.1 on the Richter Scale. This is a massive earthquake and the people living in the affected area were fortunate that it struck around 4 am when most were safe in their own homes. As it was the central business district of that city received massive damage that is conservatively estimated at $4 billion dollars.

Christchurch water supply was rated as the fourth most pure in the entire world until 4 am on that fateful day. By 4:15 am the water was contaminated with sewage and undrinkable.

Big gaps appeared in road and peoples homes and gardens. Rail-road tracks were bent and twisted and will take months to repair; offices, warehouses and factories were destroyed People went to bed gainfully employed and able to meet mortgage repayments woke up as unemployed with a great deal of insecurity surrounding them and their families.

Many lives were saved by the high building standards set by various New Zealand authorities. Had an earthquake of this scale been in Haiti or some similar nation the loss of life would have been horrendous. Appeals for aid would have been aired on every newscast worldwide.

But the New Zealanders are a brave and extremely proud race of people and have refused to seek help from the outside world even though they need it and are deserving of it. New Zealand are one of the handful of English speaking races around the world that are always among the first in line to help other nations in their times of need. There are probably a group of about 10 nations that you can always be sure will help those that need help; New Zealand is proudly one of those 10 nations.

I'd like my readers to stop and think for a moment about the minimum of $4 billion needed to repair this damage ? It doesn't seem much in present day terms. Now add this dimension: There are only a little over 3 million New Zealanders to foot this bill. That is a lot of money to find for so few people.

The Christchurch earthquake is not the fault of any person or group of people, it is nature at its most severe.

Readers of my articles have a fantastic record in donating to truly needy causes, we started with 9/11, went on through New Orleans, Haiti and quite a few others over the years and you know I try to find a place to donate that will ensure that all donations are used to benefit the most needy.

For the Christchurch earthquake I found the Christchurch City Mission who are seeking simple $5 donations ? Just a cup of coffee in many places ? but I do ask those readers that can afford more than $5 to give as much as you can. It is very rare in modern history that any nation is too proud to seek help to get over a catastrophe and this attitude should be admired if not adhered to.

I can make this appeal because I'm not a New Zealander. C'mon readers, let's do it for Christchurch and give whatever you can afford.

A donation of just $5 will help people recover from the recent Christchurch Earthquake.
