<br />
It's not as easy as "run like hell" - because you have to know who to run from and where to run to. (Otherwise, you will be running right back into their arms...)<br />
<br />
<h3>
How do you know the scammers from the straights?</h3>
Mainly - <i>do they promote how much money they made in their pitch?</i><br />
<br />
I've been doing a study of these, ever since I found <a href="http://saltydroid.info/" target="_blank">Salty Droid</a> and his take on what is going down in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_advertising" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Online advertising">Internet Marketing</a> world. He was talking about someone else I wanted to chase down, and had pulled up the data no one else had.<br />
<br />
(I don't appreciate his language, through...)<br />
<br />
He's not always right on the money, but if you weed out the obvious mis-steps, a fair read.<br />
<br />
What he uncovered was a video where <a href="http://saltydroid.info/the-internet-marketing-syndicate/" target="_blank">Frank Kern mentioned starting a "Syndicate"</a> of several "big name guru's" who were coordinating their releases with each other, and being affiliates to each other (sending their lists emails which were glowing about how they recommended this latest launch.) They also agreed to limit the number of packages made availalbe so that each launch would be a huge demand with low supply.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.enrollproduct.com/the-internet-marketing-syndicate-and-their-secrets-to-success-a-86410.html" target="_blank">Technically, this perhaps isn't illegal</a>. It's also very hard to prove.<br />
<br />
This did bring up another point - which is: Is everyone like this?<br />
<br />
The list of people in this "Syndicate" we are looking at was listed out (mainly) on <a href="http://chrisc.com/top-10-internet-marketers/" target="_blank">this blog post</a>. <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/10/2984893/scamworld-get-rich-quick-schemes-mutate-into-an-online-monster" target="_blank">Scamworld</a> was a Verge piece which names most of these.<br />
<br />
The reverse of this - people who give incredible value all on their own schedules (and usually don't use the "standard" Jeff Walker launch antics) was found on <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/joshsteimle/2014/02/28/top-10-online-marketing-experts-to-follow-in-2014/" target="_blank">Forbes</a>. <br />
<br />
If you look over that Syndicate list of "Internet Marketing" people - and look up their launch sales letters and emails - you'll see that the amount of money made is a big deal with them. (That <a href="http://chrisc.com/top-10-internet-marketers/" target="_blank">blog post</a> has a lot of that happening.)<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/joshsteimle/2014/02/28/top-10-online-marketing-experts-to-follow-in-2014/" target="_blank">Forbes</a> list has people into all sorts of marketing except just doing it to set new sales records.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Did you get your <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/24665551/Get-Yourself-Scam-Free-Handbook-for-Personal-Freedom" target="_blank">free "Get Your Self Scam Free" ebook</a>?</h3>
Funny enough, I had a lady call me up the other day about how to deal with online scams. She worked with vets to help them get businesses started - and found they were being scammed all over the place when they wanted to look for "home business opportunities."<br />
<br />
I told her about the old <a href="http://thrivelearninginstitutefraud.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Thrive Learning Institute</a> and that scam book. (It's available for free on Scribd, or you can buy a copy on Amazon or almost anywhere.)<br />
<br />
But at that time I didn't have a pat answer for how to detect them.<br />
<br />
If they mention money in their headline, especially exact dollar amounts, then they are probably a scammer (or got trained by one.) So you leave these completely alone.<br />
<br />
Real mentors deal with the ways you can make money online, true - but they use real benefits in their headlines. And, as I said, they don't usually do Jeff-Walker-type launches.<br />
<br />
(To be sure, I've recommended Walker before - and you can get all his key data when he does one of his launches, just copy his launch videos.)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Syndicates and cabals abound in Internet Marketing</h3>
Both formal and informal arrangements occur in this area, particularly affiliate marketing. It's all based on "making money" (as opposed to "earning income") and keeping the channels clear so people can participate on a fair basis and not be swamped out by Big Boys.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.enrollproduct.com/the-internet-marketing-syndicate-and-their-secrets-to-success-a-86410.html" target="_blank">Dan Kennedy himself floated the idea of a cooperative cabal </a>long before Kern got his "Syndicate" idea.<br />
<br />
The problem with that Syndicate is that they are dealing with a very small percentage of people - their audience is well-heeled (or don't mind being in constant debt) and are hooked on this stuff like it's crack cocaine.<br />
<br />
Of course, these guys (and their type) are easily detected. Because they are always out there with "how do we make tons of money off this stuff - and 'You Can Too!'" Eban Pagan and Ryan Diess I spotted early on. Guys like this are always moving their target. They don't stick with something (other than Jeff Walker, perhaps) - or not very long. And their descriptions and headlines are crazy with fantastic comparisons and terms.<br />
<br />
Easy to spot. Just don't go there. And note who they recommend and stay away from them as well.<br />
<br />
Look - see the Forbes list and go there, instead. Simple.<br />
<br />
And when you find some guy recommending them in their emails, you can see where they got into this scene for a hefty split of the take.<br />
<br />
<h3>
How they get celebrity backing</h3>
Money, mostly. You'll see their price points are around $1000 -$2500. These also include residual income by mandatory memberships. They also include various up-sells that the affiliates can offer along with the launch-du-jour. It's all built on making money.<br />
<br />
That's these guy's Achille's heel and is how to detect them. Find the guys which constantly spout how much money they're making and you have these IM guys spotted.<br />
<br />
Look, Internet Marketing is no secret. The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Internet">Internet</a> is constantly evolving. Google and others are constantly changing their algorithms to defeat the spammers and scammers. That's why these guys have to shift - because they are selling the "breaking-edge" stuff which is being the Mole in the Google Whack-A-Mole game.<br />
<br />
They get celebrities into this, using their brand to push these launches. I recently opted-in to a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kiyosaki" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Robert Kiyosaki">Robert Kiyosaki</a> (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Dad_Poor_Dad" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Rich Dad Poor Dad">Rich Dad, Poor Dad</a>) email which was pushing some new release. The videos all started out with how much this guy was excited with this new release about how you can make tons of money. The kicker was the price: Just 3 payments of $795 each over three months.<br />
<br />
So if Kiyosaki was getting a 50% cut - then that's about $1200 per sign-up.<br />
<br />
(The trick of this is that most of this is a 30-day refund policy - so they can't get all the data until they go three months. At that point, they can only get their <i>last</i> payment refunded. Cute.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Does that help you make your decision?</h3>
It's really pretty much cut and dried like that. Read that book I linked to and you'll see why this works that way. There's a bit of technical stuff behind why scammers scam and how to scam proof yourself.<br />
<br />
For now, just look for the money. Because these Syndicate-type scammers are. Especially if it belongs to you...<br />

He boiled these down into a simple "Count to Four Formula" and wrote it down into a bestselling books which went into five editions and multiple printings.<br /><br />This is a collection of references for anyone studying his classic millionaire-making handbook, “If You Can Count to Four...”<br /><br />It is presented so that this wisdom doesn't again wall into the way of the famous "dusty tomes" which make the riches of the world available to any who read and apply what they contain -- if they can be discovered again.<br /><br /><b>In this collection:</b><br />

<br />
"Many rich and successful men and women," declares the author of this helpful book, "have no more brains or energy than anyone else. They are usually driven to success.<br />
<br />
Frequently they are so helpless they can't stop moving ahead even when they want to. Their money is made in spite of themselves!"<br />
<br />
Louis M. Grafe, who made his own fortune, lost it, and then went on to earn another fortune, presents an astonishingly simple <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Chemical formula">formula</a> for wealth and success. He has tested it in his own experience and has found that it has brought wealth not only to him but to many other people.<br />
<br />
Based on fundamental principles which you can find in your own copy of the Bible, this book demonstrates the existence and practical application of the Law of Success— the law which everyone who has ever made money or reached the top in their work has used, consciously or unconsciously.<br />
<br />
The formula can be followed by anyone, rich or poor, in almost any job or business, in any honest trade or profession. And it is so simple that you can learn all you need to know about it in three hours. Marry readers wonder, after reading this book, why they did not discover the formula for themselves, it is so amazingly right, so plainly practical and workable.<br />
<br />
GET RICH IN SPITE OF YOURSELF is one of the great inspirational books of our time. Read it now and you will find that you have never spent a more profitable three hours. <br />

<br />
Of course, this blog post comes years after I nearly lost thousands in a scam - so anyone coming out with the same-old, same-old gets a raised eyebrow. (Yes, I got all my money back and so did everyone who listened to my advice, but that's not any reason to continue reading...)<br />
<br />
I study everything like an editor these days. Most formatting and all ads are designed to interrupt your attention and get you to do something. And I dislike being advertised to - intensely. But I do appreciate good data that I can use.<br />
<br />
When I found myself doing this today, I thought you might appreciate some shortcuts you can use to get good data, but avoid the unnecessary sales pitches. <br />
<h3>
A Few Steps to Avoid Scams and Get Good Data </h3>
<br />
<b>1. Convert your "free download" to simple text you can import into a word processor or text editor. </b><br />
<br />
My first response is often to take the appealing content I just read (after I clicked on it, usually giving one of my emails in exchange) - and then convert it to plain text. Sometimes I have to go back and work it over as they put titles and navigation in as graphics.<br />
<br />
I'll usually strip down all the styling in order to get it down to basics. Like being able to import it into a word-processor. (There's lots of ways to do this, like opening it with Calibre and then using that program to convert it into something like straight text, or an ebook, or simple <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="HTML">HTML</a>. Get one of my books on self-publishing if you want more data on that point. Now - back to our story...)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. Restore any missing headings and navigation through the document.</b><br />
<br />
If it's poorly built, all the headings will disappear. Maybe not. Doesn't matter. You want to be able to see what you have simply, including the steps they lay out.<br />
<br />
When you've done this, you can tell right away whether they are really offering anything of value, or are just blowing smoke.<br />
<br />
Actually, even having to do these two steps usually means they have something to offer. The one I'm working on as I write this was a 177-page PDF ebook which was also offered as a free Kindle version - which is a nice touch.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Start deleting anything which is simply an Influence point. </b><br />
<br />
Remember <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.influenceatwork.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Robert Cialdini">Robert Cialdini</a> and his "Influence" books? Get a copy if you don't have one.<br />
<br />
In that book, he laid out how marketers get you to buy things. In short, his points are just a few:<br />
<br />
a. <i>Reciprocity</i> (free samples - like these ebooks)<br />
b. <i>Commitment and Consistency</i> (downloading a free book helps ensure you'll click on something later.)<br />
c. <i><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_proof" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Social proof">Social Proof</a> </i>(examples of people "just like you" who have successfully used the product they are pitching. All testimonials and dollar-figures are part of this.)<br />
d. <i>Authority</i> (some Big Name - or several - telling how they used and/or recommend this product.)<br />
e. <i>Liking</i> (its written and presented in a format you like, and try to tell you they are just like you.)<br />
f. <i>Scarcity</i> (telling you that there is a limited time offer, or just a few left, or you have to sign up for a special one-time event.)<br />
<br />
What you leave is the real nuts and bolts of "this is how the system works."<br />
<br />
Some other points:<br />
<br />
g. <i>Anything that sounds/smells like "get rich quick".</i> This includes income on automatic-pilot or anything where you don't have to work at anything and the money just rolls in. (Sure, and I have a great offer on the Brooklyn Bridge you should seriously take a look at...) While you don't have to work hard, and you do need to work smart, there are no free rides/beer/lunches. There is passive income, but you usually work to get the data to set it up.<br />
<br />
And that is the point you are looking for:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Can this person actually help you improve your life with some new understanding of how life really works? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The whole point of this exercise is to accumulate useful tools.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
h. <i>Look out for "done for you" services they are offering.</i> Yes, that might be good, but it's another version of "we think you are lazy enough, and can pay enough to have someone do it for you." No, you're not lazy at all. But some marketers preach this, based on the sheer repeating statistics that around 90-99 percent of all course buyers don't complete all the material or lessons.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The point of this is to see if they are giving real value. Yes, you can do this on your own. The trick is to find out if they are offering anything worth investing your time. Money can be replaced, but not the time it may cost you as well. </div>
<br />
<h3>
4. As you are deleting, you'll start seeing the "special names and terms" they are using to market their stuff. </h3>
This is more education for you. <br />
<br />
Everytime you run into their pat phrase, simply replace it with a generic one, like "The Product" or "The System" - and yes, you can do a search and replace to make this easier. (This also goes for repeating terms like certain dollar amounts which are only buttons <br />
<br />
Here's a fun example from this book I'm editing as we go through this:<br />
<style type="text/css"></style>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>You absolutely can and will turn your passion into [big sum goes
here]—just not overnight and not without implementing every step in "The System".</i></blockquote>
<br />
Much easier to spot the hype, eh? <br />
<br />
Again, whenever the author says "Trust me..." or refers to himself, start deleting that sentence - it's probably a pitch (see Liking point above.) You can search/replace every "I" or "me" with "you", and "my" with "your" - and it will be easier to read in most cases. Exceptions (few) are when they actually give a test case they did and the results they found.<br />
<br />
<i>Note</i>1: leave a space before and after on your search/replace, otherwise, "time" becomes "tiyou", "It" becomes "yout".<br />
<br />
If that phrase becomes untrue with changing "I" to "you", then go ahead and delete it. You're looking for truly useful stuff.<br />
<br />
<b>Note2: Preserve your navigation as you go</b>.<br />
<br />
Use regular outline format:<br />
I.<br />
II.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A.<br />B.<br />C. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
bold<br />
italic</blockquote>
</blockquote>
III.<br />
etc. etc.<br />
<br />
This is so you can find your way simply and see if this content is really going to be useful.<br />
<br />
As noted, I started this with a 177-page ebook. And it's holding up so far. Many of these ebooks won't. They weren't written to give you usable data, just a pitch. They'll have no outline except of bunch of chapters following each other. That's when you simply delete the file and get back to whatever it was you were doing (usually your email) before you were interrupted.<br />
<br />
<h3>
5. Look out for stuff you've heard before and already know to be false.</h3>
<br />
Delete away. If you've tested it and know this approach doesn't work for you, then it still won't work for you now.<br />
<br />
At this point, you may start finding headings which have no content beneath them (like "It's Time to Take Action") because this is simply an advertisement effort to get you to (again) click through for their course or offer.<br />
<br />
<h3>
6. Look it over to see if you've heard all this before.</h3>
<br />
Here's where it starts taking shape - but do this only when you've finished your deleting above. Yes, you'll be reading along as you go, but keep your editing job separate from your "digestion and evaluation" job. Finish your editing first, then you can digest and evaluate what you've uncovered.<br />
<br />
You can tell as you go whether it's worth your time to keep deleting, or simply delete the file and get back to what you intended to do today.<br />
<br />
If you did learn something, and there is perhaps a service you could take which would re-pay you well for the time you invest, now you can go into this with eyes wide open.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, you can file it with the other also-rans you've filed for a nice review project. And you can always just delete it and save cheap hard-drive space.<br />
<br />
<h3>
7. Now look over the original for ideas in marketing. </h3>
Obviously, you clicked on this for some reason. It was probably free, so you aren't missing anything if you decide not to use it. But very often, the design is nice and has elements you can use (not simply plagiarize, but learn from and adapt.)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Our results today...</h3>
This 177 page PDF and Kindle ebook was nicely laid out. It's an intro to "making money from a home business." It's also for newbies who don't know better - and that is usually about 90% or more of the audience for any given niche, according to experts and their studies.<br />
<br />
That book boiled down to around 91 pages of useful data. Unfortunately, he's not offering anything you can't find online for free. <br />
<br />
(And shortly, I'll be off to Amazon to leave them a review...)<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, you got a chance to look at how to not have to deal with a scammy marketing piece every time you turn around. And how to learn from someone else's hype - as well as how to present straight data people can use. People like to get straight-up and useful data. They don't like hype.<br />
<br />
Treat people like you'd like to be treated - and everyone wins.<br />
<br />

<i>New book release:</i><br />
<h1>
If You Can Count to Four, by James Breckenridge Jones</h1>
<br />
<b>Here's How to Get Everything You Want Out of Life! </b><br />
<ul>
<li>You can be anything you've ever wanted to be.</li>
<li>You can have anything you've ever wanted to have. </li>
</ul>
<br />
Of the millions who have read <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Think-Grow-Rich-Original-Classic/dp/1592802605%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1592802605" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="Think and Grow Rich, Original 1937 Classic Edition">Think and Grow Rich</a>, thousands have become extremely rich - regardless of the environment they grew up in, or the economic conditions of their times. <br />
<br />
<i>The secret to their success was found, tested, and proved by Dr. J. B. Jones.</i><br />
<br />
Jones became a lecturer for the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://naphill.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Napoleon Hill">Napoleon Hill</a> Philosophy of Achievement part time, while attending college as a returning Vet from World War II. By 1953, he had tested Hill's approach and internalized it. Using those 17 steps, Jones was able to devise and implement several life-tests to prove its worth to himself. <br />
<br />
What is interesting is the spectacular success he achieved and how he set the stage meanwhile for the bulk of the top names who are operating in the self-improvement field today.<br />
<br />
This is the common thread which connects<i> Tony Robbins, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Victor_Hansen" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Mark Victor Hansen">Mark Victor Hansen</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.jackcanfield.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Jack Canfield">Jack Canfield</a>, Brian Tracy, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.harveker.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="T. Harv Eker">T. Harv Eker</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.chriswidener.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Chris Widener (author)">Chris Widener</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_R._Hughes" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Mark R. Hughes">Mark R. Hughes</a>, Les Brown, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.ziglar.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Zig Ziglar">Zig Ziglar</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.marykay.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Mary Kay Ash">Mary Kay Ash</a>, Bill Bailey</i>, and many other noted millionaire motivational speakers with Napoleon Hill's work.<br />
<br />
While Hill's book has been read by millions, the proven value of it has been found by those who Jones and his students trained. It is through their work that the consistent results show up – over and over and over.<br />
<br />
<i>What we have here is the actual bridge to success</i>, one which has made and continues to help people make themselves into successes – and even millionaires, if that was one of their goals.<br />
<br />
Now you have the entire Bridge to Success in your hands, with just these two books in one collection. <br />

<h3>
How does affiliate <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Marketing">marketing</a> teach you business basics?</h3>
Mainly because you're dealing with someone else's homework. They've already done the homework, worked up the product, and in many cases even provide the sales pages for your site.<br />
<br />
This leaves you to concentrate on the key elements of content marketing and sales conversions. (Those are fancy terms for getting someone's attention and persuading them to buy.)<br />
<br />
I've got a <a href="http://thrivelearninginstitute.onlinemillionaireplan.com/2014/01/how-to-master-affiliate-marketing-series.html#more" target="_blank">short set of inexpensive ebooks available just on Affiliate Marketing</a>.<br />

But what we want to talk to you about today is how to combine affiliate marketing, and network marketing.<br />
<br />
<i>It's called two-tier affiliate marketing.</i><br />

It's not like <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Public domain">public domain</a> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Book">books</a> make a lot of money - except for publishers.<br />
<br />
<h1>
Now Kobo has decided to take a huge part of this public domain pie for themselves to punish self-publishing authors.</h1>
[<b>Update</b>:<strike> iTunes and B&N have joined this - banning new PD books entirely.</strike> Lulu just started banning PD, which blocks access for PD books in their distribution. See note below.]<br />
<br />
Self-publishing public domain works <strike>is</strike> was barely profitable. Because anyone can compete, and there are a lot of free versions out there. Some aggregators, like <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.smashwords.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Smashwords">Smashwords</a>, won't take them at all. Amazon makes you add at least 10 "original images" to any ebook. Lulu, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="ITunes">iTunes</a>, GooglePlay and B&N tend to just accept your derivative work without question.<br />
<br />
So did Kobo, until just recently.<br />
<br />
A derivative work is defined pretty well by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain#Relationship_with_derivative_works" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>. Essentially, you add some original content and claim a new copyright for yourself. Since public domain is a "who cares" scene, this isn't policed by anyone.<br />
<br />
My tests in this showed that these books, given a new cover and description, were still in demand and sold decently. People want a good version for their smartphone or reader. And a lot of the versions out there are garbage. (If you want free quality versions, check out <a href="http://www.feedbooks.com/" target="_blank">Feedbooks</a>.) <br />
<br />
So a person could locate public domain books, do some decent marketing on them and start profiting. It all looked pretty good for being able to provide a service of re-publishing classic works and adding value to these for readers.<br />
<br />
<b>Then someone at Kobo decided this wasn't cool.</b><br />
<br />
I got an email from Tara Cremin, "coordinator" at <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.kobo.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Kobo Inc.">Kobo Writing Life</a>, which said I needed to declare my books as public domain and take the 20% <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalties" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Royalties">royalty payment</a> for them.<br />
<br />
After some back and forth, my protesting that they were <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_work" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Derivative work">derivative works</a>, etc. - she finally clarified it like this:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">You’re correct, reviews or study guides of works do not need to be declared as public domain as they are reviewing
the text rather than included it in its entirety.</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">However,
you cannot just change the author name and title for works so that
they’re not part of the public domain. For example, your title “<a href="http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/Search/Query?q=1230000096260" target="_blank">Claude M. Bristol's Magic Of Believing</a>” by Dr. Robert C. Worstell. The book still
includes the entire content from Claude M. Bristol. You cannot take
others work and claim them as your own. If it
is in the public domain, you need to declare it as such.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">This
also goes for collections and derivatives of authors’ work. The works
are still part of the domain and need to be declared as such. You retain
the copyright
to any books published through Kobo Writing Life but public domain
needs to be declared.</span></div>
</blockquote>
So if you only publish an <i>excerpt</i> of the book, you're good. If you publish the <i>whole</i> book, you take the 20% penalty payment. Meaning that Kobo pockets the 80% for your work in editing and marketing this book newly.<br />
<br />
It's just a way to discourage public domain <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publishing" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Publishing">book publishing</a>. Simple. <br />
<br />
The trick is - they aren't the only distributor out there. And they aren't a huge chunk of my income such that I have to get all worried about it.<br />
<br />
<b>All this does is make Kobo look greedy.</b><br />
<br />
There's nothing on Kobo's site which covers this. I did find a service agreement which says if a book isn't in the public domain, you have various royalty level options. But nothing laying out specifically what Tara Cremin did above.<br />
<br />
Look, this doesn't change the fact that you have to do marketing for any book you publish. You have to find and nurture your audience.<br />
<br />
All this says is that Kobo is now down near the bottom of the list to send books to. I'll start getting these public domain books accepted by Amazon and work their system instead. And any marketing will (reluctantly) carry a link to the books I have on Kobo.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, I build up a platform for people who want these classics and send them everywhere I can earn more income as a self-publisher.<br />
<br />
Who gets screwed here? Like putting one in your own foot, Kobo.<br />
<br />
[<b>Update</b>: Several other books submitted via Lulu to iTunes and B&N a couple days ago just came back with this rejection:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"We cannot accept content into retail distribution that is freely available elsewhere online, including but not limited to public domain material and plagiarized content."</blockquote>
Lulu did accept and publish them on their own site, they just won't distribute them.<br />
<br />
Oddly, they won't accept priced-as-free PD versions either, apparently. It's looks to be a script scene, looking for duplicate content among PD versions. <br />
<br />
So for PD books, you can publish everywhere, but you have to do the publishing yourself - or pay aggregators fees which public domain books won't support. I'm still testing Nookpress.com (they've been down this weekend) but iTunes accepted one right off from me - when I got a MAC mini to do the uploads.<br />
<br />
What's being discouraged by Kobo, etc. are the cheap commodity books which have the same title, author, text - and usually crappy editing and cover. It's probable that a PD book with a different title, cover and additional author will fly on Amazon - they just want unique books. While this is the subject of another post, the trick is that you would then have to generate your own reviews. Amazon lumps books together to share their reviews - so a new hardcopy version of a Kindle version gets whatever is already accumulated.<br />
<br />
<b>Note 2</b>: such a derivative ebook would link to your book sale landing pages where they could get Lulu versions: epub, PDF, and hardcopy versions, plus videos, opt-in to an ecourse, etc.]<br />
<br />
<h3>
More testing</h3>
I'm not letting this sit. As posted elsewhere, <a href="http://selfpublishebook.midwestjournalpress.com/2014/05/how-to-publish-ebooks-directly-to-itunes-with-MAC-mini.html" target="_blank">I've already committed to uploading via my new MAC mini</a>. First book got approved for the iTunes store right off. So I don't know what was taking Lulu so long to get my books onto iTunes and Nook. (Nookpublish.com has been down all weekend, so I'm waiting on this one.)<br />
<br />
Next up is testing Amazon to see how to get sales from books which are not free or 99-cent wonders. Looks like niche PD books have higher prices than the literary classics. While I've had these books selling at .99 each, on Kobo I raised them to 3.99 (getting .79 per book) and while volume has dropped off, income has increased. Go figure...<br />

<h1>
Writing feeds the soul; publishing keeps the lights on and the refrigerator stocked.</h1>
<h2>
That's a truth I've recently found which put me on the road to real financial freedom.</h2>
<br />
I've found that I will generate more income by working as a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publishing" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Publishing">publisher</a> than a writer. I found that there are really tons (hundreds if not thousands) of decent quality, decent value books which are not easily found because they haven't been marketed.<br />
<br />
This includes both public domain and private-licensed-rights (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_label_rights" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Private label rights">PLR</a>) books. (The term "book" is really just a decent sized collection of text, with or without images, sound, video, etc.)<br />
<br />
For public domain books, the fact that there is competition fighting over the sales of long-dead-authors' books shows how much they are still in demand.<br />
<br />
There are 3 things which set any public domain book you re-publish apart, which is the same for modern books: <b>Cover</b>, <b>Description</b>, <b>Price</b>. Practically, people ignore reviews. Only Amazon makes a big deal of these things. On all other ebook distributors, it's primarily those three points.<br />
<br />
The fourth point is to have more books in that series or by that author - or both.<br />
<br />
All of this is compounded with my recent, and continuing, studies of the specific skill of copywriting. I have Bob Bly to thank for setting my head straight on the basics of this. Too many others are following a handful of "Magnetic" marketers who are essentially using a partial understanding of copywriting to pitch their wares. And many of these are simply using hacks from swipe files without understanding why those headlines and phrases work.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, we are saved.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
1) Human Nature hasn't changed since it was developed. (The Internet has only sped things up.)<br />
2) Classic bestselling books about how to influence people to buy were based on substantial studies of hundreds of successes in order to derive the basic principles. </blockquote>
<br />
If you want to actually succeed in online marketing, you need to know copywriting, and you need to collect these masterworks for your own library.<br />
<br />
A very interesting land-rush is on, where the bulk of the books out there have not been converted to quality <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-book" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="E-book">ebooks</a> - the epub version which is on the bulk of the smartphones and tablets out there (as well as ereaders.)<br />
<br />
And if you really want to succeed in ebook publishing, you want to be in two certain marketplaces:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="ITunes">iTunes</a></li>
<li><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Google Play">Google Play</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
Why not Amazon?<br />
<br />
Because these two distributors cover the lion's share of all the smartphones and tablets out there. When you go to load an app, what do you get? A suggested ebook that you'd probably like.<br />
<br />
Amazon has started its own "app store" which does what - keep you Amazon-centric.<br />
<br />
Go right ahead and publish everything to Amazon. I'll cry all the way to the bank as I get downloads and payments from 5 other distributors who are selling my books for me every month.<br />
<br />
There's your secret tip for today.<br />
<br />
OK, here's an Amazon tip: Want to sell more books? Make the printed version available as well. Since only 30% prefer ebooks, both a paperback and hardback edition of any book is vital - and makes your ebooks look like a great bargain. Just make sure these are all print-on-demand...<br />
<br />
- - - -<br />
<br />
Backwards from this, you create web presences for each book you publish - at least a page, if not a whole site. Classic books will give you tons to write about, since they've been around for a good while.<br />
<br />
And each of these web-presences need to point to your own membership site, where you can create a "velvet rope" section to offer spccial discount versions to your loyal readers. This is called "building an audience."<br />
<br />
E-mail continues to be the most trusted way to shop and get recommendations. So you need to be building your list and giving it great value on a continuing basis.<br />
<br />
Those web pages you build need to be properly SEO'd (meta-tags, etc.), but otherwise, you'll spend your time getting tons more content out rather than worrying about any individual site's standings.<br />
<br />
Because if you need more clients, you simply need to create an offer you can get joint-venture affiliates to join in on. They then send your offer to their list.<br />
<br />
I only recently found out that this was the success of "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Extended-Non-USA-PAL/dp/B000KK22GU%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000KK22GU" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="The Secret (Extended Edition) [Non USA PAL] - All Regions">The Secret</a>" underground <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="DVD">DVD</a>. It never came out as an actual movie, because it didn't have to. And then <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhonda_Byrne" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Rhonda Byrne">Rhonda Byrne</a> was able to have a couple of books jump to bestseller status because of the name and brand recognition.<br />
<br />
While you don't have to have a runaway hit, the alternate strategy is to have a ton of books available which can be easily discovered.<br />
<br />
The above is my strategy for that - and will keep me more than busy for a couple of years by my current reckoning - just in publishing alone.<br />
<br />
- - - -<br />
<br />
Separately, I've worked out an organizing chart for the subjects of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_advertising" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Online advertising">Internet Marketing</a>. Once I have these classic copywriting texts edited into shape and republished, look for this to get a release of it's own.<br />
<br />
There is a very common-sense approach you can follow - a blueprint, you might say - to learn the data you need as you customize your own route to success.<br />
<br />
And I've talked at you long enough.<br />
<br />
See you soon.<br />

<h3>
Watch the tracks ahead and be prepared to jump off if needed.</h3>
How can you tell if you have a real Mentor, or just a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Celebrity">Celebrity</a> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wannabe_%28song%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Wannabe (song)">Wannabe</a>?<br />
<br />
Are you getting incredible value or incredible promotional hype?<br />
<br />
You want to find out if that person "helping" you is really doing this out of their own self-centered interests, rather than yours. Unless you are going to get a ton of personal good out of this, it may be that you're headed for a big de-railing at some point, with nothing to show for it except the trash left on the ruined tracks.<br />
<br />
Too often, we find that following some of these "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Guru">guru</a>'s" are no more than just another celebrity in guru's disguise.<br />
<br />
I've experienced my fair share of these. Open-handed, helpful sharing is often stated as their motivation. But when you look deeper into the value they are delivering, you'll find that there is really nothing new in what they say. You can actually find this data in at least a dozen different <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Book">books</a> and several pages of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://google.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Google Search">Google search</a> results.<br />
<br />
The most recent profit-centered, self-promoting, self-oriented phrase I heard was "...to give without want." Sounds all noble and stuff. But you actually see how that person touts himself as an authority by stating he made all these millions within a few months and has this huge <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailing_list" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Mailing list">mailing list</a> and now wants to share his special "insider information" with you.<br />
<br />
Sounds great on paper. But it's just the same old hype. When you study how sales pages are made up, you start seeing these fakes all over the place. They are mostly all using the same "formula" to pitch you. Once you know that formula, you can spot the fake.<br />
<br />
Here's how to work out if they are the real thing, or another glorified scam:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
1. If they say they have a huge mailing list, then you know that they are already getting 1% of that to opt-in for whatever they pitch. It's a numbers racket. So that 1-million-name mailing list will give them an automatic 100,000 people signing up. Multiply that by whatever the price they give, and you'll see how much they will make from this "special insider" promotion. (Hint: they don't need your money.)</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
2. Does their email series contain the usual-pattern, hackneyed sales gimmicks? You know - authority, emotional appeal, limited offer, personal access, etc.? For those who know about the Product Launch Formula, you'll see a series of emails with videos only a couple days apart, spread over a week. The first is about some great data being released, the second is more about it, maybe with a survey, or survey results from the first one. The third is how it's a limited offer and why, the fourth is usually testimonials and why you need to buy now. Same format as the sales letter, only done over days with videos.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
3. Real authorities don't use only a pat <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_pitch" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Sales pitch">sales pitch</a> or formula - they tell a story and give more valuable material than you could use before asking you for anything. Most of the time, the first video or installment will be their core data - and the extra value they give is in packaging it for you in other formats, such as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="DVD">DVD</a>'s and packs. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
4. Do they hype themselves up as revolutionizing an industry? All by themselves? Look - no one got there sheerly by their own genius. The really humble industry leaders will make the story all about <i>you</i> - not them. They'll point out who <i>else</i> to follow, who <i>else</i> to look up, whose books <i>they</i> studied, what other materials and authors they recommend so you can speed your results (and not make the mistakes they did.) The fakes just say "buy MY books, packs, DVD's, and especially MY monthly payment plan." (As if they are the only one with The Solution You Need.)</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
5. How are they getting paid from all this? How are they going to deliver it? It's been established that a single person can influence or help only about 250 people directly. If they are saying "coaching", that's the limit. And they won't be doing anything else, such as running a business empire. Keeping track of that many people - and actually helping them - is a full-time occupation. If they are getting a monthly residual payment, and just send you a course-pack and some weekly emails, they've just sold you a typical, usual offer. That's not coaching, even if it's an acceptable form of training. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
6. Do they push you on having a lifestyle with lots of *stuff* around you - like big homes, fancy cars, expensive trips? This is saying that you are a sucker for stuff you will probably never actually have, and so - like a moth to a light - are drawn forever toward them.</blockquote>
<br />
How did your "guru" do in this checklist?<br />
<br />
You see, the bottom line is that it's still all about <i>them</i>, not you.<br />
<br />
They are the ones who have unfilled needs: the need for approval, for personal adoration of devoted fans. It's a celebrity scene that <i>they</i> are stuck in.<br />
<br />
They are exploiting your emotions and your "excess" spendable income so you can pay them for a few hours spent in front of a video camera, plus someone else creating their course packs and other materials.<br />
<br />
<b>The only one who is ever going to make you rich is you.</b> <i>The only way you're going to become successful is to change your mind and devote yourself to your <b>own</b> vision.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
In any age on this planet, millionaires and billionaires got that way because <i>they thought and acted differently than the rest of the million or billion people out there</i>. (See the classic "<a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Millionaire-Next-Door-Thomas-Stanley/dp/0671775308%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzem-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0671775308" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="The Millionaire Next Door">Millionaire Next Door</a>" by <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Stanley" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Thomas J. Stanley">Thomas J. Stanley</a>.) Change your mind, change your results.<br />
<br />
Someone else's plan, blueprint, system - these won't work unless <i>you</i> can tailor them to <i>your <u>own</u> </i>scene. The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_advertising" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Online advertising">Internet Marketing</a> Guru's all got rich mostly by selling what <i>used</i> to work, using examples of a tiny handful to say that anyone can do this. Once they found how this "secret," the search engine algorithms or government laws were changed to close that loophole. That's why they are constantly coming out with new "systems" and tricks. Real mentors just keep promoting the same workable scene they've evolved based on studying reall people really applying it in real life.<br />
<br />
Study the back-trail of these people and you can work out what they did to make their own success. Usually, it's getting a bunch of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_venture" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Joint venture">joint-venture</a> partners with big lists who can promote their product for a hefty split of the profits (aka "commission.") Then they have all these guy's list all rolled into one massive one. (Yes, those big joint-venture guys built their own lists the same way.)<br />
<br />
This is one reason I've taken to finding dead authors and republishing their works. This gets you out of the fads and the celebrities with their personal magnetism. The stuff that they used still works in our <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Internet">Internet</a> Age. What still works is based on <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Natural law">Natural Laws</a>, not tricks and sleight-of-hand or an outright scam.<br />
<br />
I've gone through a few of the Big Name types recently and found that this was their common scheme - they were wanting you to become a "supporting member" of theirs, so they could continue to live their own "lifestyle of the rich and famous." All on <i>your</i> back. All while you keep your day job and pay <i>your own</i> bills - plus your "fair share" of theirs.<br />
<br />
<b><a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumerism" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Consumerism">Consumerism</a> is the key way to find these guys (and gals) out.</b> They push you into constantly wanting and buying more stuff in your life. Consumers <i>consume</i> things - load up their home with bookshelves of materials they can't use. Or sign up for an auto-ship of stuff to eat or use up. <i>"For only one low monthly payment."</i><br />
<br />
They aren't pushing you into changing the one thing which should be providing you with solutions to any perceived "lack" you may be experiencing - Your Mind.<br />
<br />
Here's some people you can follow for free or nothing (note: no links here) -<br />
<br />
<b>Napoleon Hill</b> - Interviewed over 500 world leaders over 20 years, and distilled their personal secrets to success into a single philosophy of success anyone can apply. You can get his book for around $4 - and even free.<br />
<br />
<b>Earl Nightingale</b> - made his living researching and teaching others how to use self-help techniques in their lives. Made several fortunes just helping people. Known for his "Our Changing World" free radio program. Sure, Nightingale-Conant offers courses and packs of his content, as well as others. They're all one-shot purchases, and have proved themselves many times over.<br />
<br />
<b>Dale Carnegie</b> - known for his bestseller books, which came from his World Record of critiquing more speeches than any other person in history. Boiling down what it took to train these speakers gave the common denominators which became books.<br />
<br />
There are also <b>Charles Haanel, Wallace Wattles, Genevieve Behrend</b> and her mentor <b>Thomas Troward</b>. Also <b>Dorothea Brande </b>and <b>Claude Bristol, William Walker Atkinson</b> (and his many aliases), <b>Robert Collier</b> - tons of these writers, which you can get versions of their books for little or no cost (other than bandwidth.)<br />
<br />
Yes, I am working to re-publish these and create training courses from them again, as well as ebooks for our modern smartphones, tablets, and phablets. That is just adding value. (The copies found in the Internet Wild are not always the best presentations or the most readable...)<br />
<br />
The point is to honestly help people. The point is to tell people where to look for what they want. The point is to free people from unnecessary "wants" and "needs" - not pile more on.<br />
<br />
The point is to give you <i>more</i> choice, not just harness you up in yet another chain of mules or horses pulling someone else's freight-wagon.<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />
<br />
Leave a comment, either way.<br />
<br />
P.S. The reason for this post is that I've been studying some of the long-dead copywriting Masters - and they didn't use what is in common use today, and what is giving advertising in general its well-deserved bad reputation... More about this later.<br />
<br />
[<b>Update</b>: This "guru" has 4500 surveys returned (out of his vaunted 1 million email list) and is going to give "1 year" of "unprecedented access" with him so he can "personally work" with these guys over the next year. Sorry - he's on a celebrity swing of how important he is. The trick with money is that is only makes you more of what you already are. An ass just gets bigger, for instance...]<br />

Just doing some research recently and saw the convergence of web apps, mobile traffic, and the resulting decline of desktops, laptops, and the "usual suspect" sites as we know them.<br>
<br>
This of course means that SEO will be turning a rather sharp corner - but then, they're used to it.<br>

<br>
Just did some research in looking through the top 500 Alexa sites. Not too surprised to see all the more recent approaches to getting both backlinks and traffic here.<br>
<br>
While backlinks have been devalued lately, incoming traffic is more valuable. Some studies of how things work showed that many are going to Doc Sharing and Video sites to get their traffic up. (And use of embedding gives traffic to those sites, which raise their rank and so return with more traffic...)<br>
<br>
As I saw what was unfolding, I kept track to see how it panned out. Now you can see that there is a definite trend happening... <br>

In fact, they'll fill a book or several if you let them. Each of the principles in turn has - many times over. What we are interested here is in the underlying basic principles - which in our specific case act as a system. Meaning that the individual parts working in syncrony will create a much greater effect than in acting alone. However, no one that I know of has published this system as such - and so you are one of the few who are now able to take advantage of this knowledge.<br>

I talk about <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Marketing">marketing</a> here, and little of the nuts/bolts of business (making payroll, supply/demand, inventory control, et al.)

<h2>
Getting your book published without begging for reviews - a web-guy's approach</h2>
Just as a matter of record, something I'd like to bury in a blog post somewhere, but so I can say "I told you so."
<br>
<br>
Most of the theory of this is found over in "<a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/how-to-build-your-own-honest-online-business-online-millionaire-plan-book-two/13863401" target="_blank">How to Build Your Own Honest Online Business</a>." This also builds on what I laid out in "<a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/just-publish-ebook-creation-for-indie-authors-learn-how-to-write-design-format-upload-and-sell-your-own-book-for-low-cost-or-free/13631172" target="_blank">Just Publish! Ebook Creation for Indie Authors</a>."
Having spent a few months sorting out the various fictional narratives which are sold as Gospel for Authors to market their own book (<a href="http://storify.com/robertworstell" target="_blank">see my Storify posts</a>), I can proclaim with impunity that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reader-Wifi-Graphite/dp/B002Y27P3M%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dworstelldesig-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB002Y27P3M" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite - Latest Generation">Amazon</a>'s review system is an arbitrary hoax and a time-burner.

"You can't get without giving." This goes back to <a href="http://tattootheflesh.tumblr.com/post/8408485975" target="_blank">Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich"</a> but also goes back through the Bible's Golden Rule to the oldest known verbal traditions.<br />
<br />
One phrasing of it is, "Energy flows where attention goes."<br />
<br />
There is also a unique version of it, ascribed to the Emerald Tablet - "As within, so without."<br />
<br />
I can name off-hand at least a dozen more authors who have talked about this. The key thing is to put this to work in your own life. Any problem in attracting customers and clients to any business is whether that business owner (and every single employee in it) trusts themselves enough to give away trust.<br />
<br />
These old principles survive and have use today as ever, because they describe natural laws which exist independent of time.<br />
<br />
Whatever you are in yourself is what you will create around you.<br />
<br />
Truly successful, long-standing businesses thrive, survive, and prosper because they are completely involved in the success and survival and prosperity of their clients.<br />
<br />
To do this, they first have to let go of any type of "death wish" or self-destructive attitudes they may have been carrying around. (Like being critical of others in any form or fashion.)<br />
<br />
Because you will create in your clients those same attitudes - or they will simply move away to no longer have to deal with that.<br />
<br />
While some people deal with "relationship marketing" you have to know that it is all based on the point of being in a good relationship with yourself, first. You have to be at peace within as a starting point.<br />
<br />
This is why self-improvement books continue to be popular.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://robertworstell.magneticsponsoringonline.com/" target="_blank">Mike Dillard</a>, self-made millionaire at age 28, ascribes this to the "alpha marketer."<br />
<br />
Learn to trust yourself and you'll be able to trust your clients. When your clients see you trust them, they will trust you.<br />
<br />
Treat your clients like an animal queued up for slaughter, and you'll have constant turnover in your lists, and be always expending more money to get new customers instead of servicing the existing clients.<br />
<br />
Improve your own life and then you can help others improve theirs.<br />
<br />

<br />
Only dust and cobwebs hanging out there now. And a cheesy info-mercial about how to buy and flip websites. (Like a blinking neon light above the entrance to a nearly- shuttered old motel in the warehouse district outskirts.)<br />
<br />
Seriously. Now it <i>really</i> isn't worth the money to get a membership. Because almost all of the videos which used to be there don't work any more. The very slight reason I said it was worth the small investment is gone, leaving only the dregs in the cup-bottom.<br />
<br />
And I'm sorry to say that<a href="http://robertworstell.com/personal-freedom/2011-05-08/coffee-shop-millionaire-scam-revealed"> my predictions were right</a>.<br />
<br />
Just checked in after a year of my wandering around and <a href="http://onlinemillionaireplan.com/">making honest money online</a>. And found the place is now a shell of it's former self.<br />
<br />
There's no "VIP" section anymore. Only tells you "not authorized" when you sign up.<br />
<br />
Meaning that Anthony Trister and all of his cronies have all packed it up and taken their <i>fast thousands</i> - and left. Only leaving some hot-links which may or may not work. I'm surprised the sight is even up - but as I linked above, it's <a href="http://coffee-shop-millionaire.blogspot.com/2012/09/coffee-shop-millionaire-review-and.html">only the support which is still working, approving refunds</a>.<br />
<br />
What have I found that did work?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://onlinemillionaireplan.com/magneticsponsoring/index.php"><b>Mike Dillard and his Magnetic Sponsoring. </b></a><br />
<br />
While this is aligned toward network marketing, it will actually give you some good basics on starting a business with a "<a href="http://robertworstell.com/omp/fundedproposal.php">funded proposal</a>".<br />
<br />
And Dillard's company has been around since 2005 or so (it's not a fly-by-night like Trister and his t-shirt ensemble.) That is the real measure of whether a company is a scam or not. Consider the top ten MLM companies out there - the acid test is if they've been around 10 years or more. These companies open and close like loose shutters in the wind.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
(As did Anthony Trister. He's again disappeared into the backwaters he came from. Try looking him up on the web and you'll only find a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/anthonytrister">very skimpy Facebook page</a>. Lives in San Diego. Takes exotic vacations. Nice flash in the pan. The question is - what's he done for anyone <u>lately</u>...)</blockquote>
<br />
Your going to have to check out <b>Mike Dillard</b> for yourself. Seems to be the real deal. Plenty of people vouch for him. And you can start for free with his 7-video bootcamp...<br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.socialmediaexplorer.com/social-media-marketing/hiring-a-social-media-agency-read-this-first/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Social Media Pimp</span></a>: content-hungry
sites who get their popularity by being vanity publishers and support
themselves by running paid ads - and/or their own mailings to your
email about how you should upgrade to paid hosting on their servers.<br />
<br />
<br />
The "free" blog platforms simply are pimping their authors in order to do lead generation for their advertisers.<br />
<br />
You may think I'm being harsh, but hear me out -<br />
<br />
<i>Vanity publishing</i> is where you pay for someone else to publish your
material. In the old days, (like Thoreau), you'd wind up with a stack
of books in your house that you'd have to sell to make your money back.
In our modern times, sites like Wordpress.com and Hubpages (to name a
few) will host your essays for free as long as they can use them to
make money by running ads. Now, if you in turn could make money by
promoting your own work, then that would be OK - but there's a twisted
line they follow to do this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Most of the free blogging sites have a real problem with hosting
anything as long as they can make money from with their ads. Meaning
they take your heartfelt prose and accept it unless you link out to the
sales page where someone can buy whatever it is that you're
heart-felt-prosing about.<br />
<br />
However, they rain down all sorts of *stuff* on you if you try to directly promote on their sites. Ostensibly, it's because people complain about it (and Google lowers their rankings) but any marketer will tell you that it's because you are "homing in on their turf". (Unlike Amazon, which is way more popular, as they simply host your products and ads for a fee.)<br />
<br />
Wordpress.com seems the worst at this, right
behind Hubpages. If you link out to any direct affiliate page, you're
either labelled a spammer (minimally) or more commonly outright banned
and suspended with no warning. If you are only labelled, then it's not
so bad - because you still have your blogs around - if you can still get to them.<br />
<br />
But anyone working affiliate marketing has to have their own site and then link these freebie blogs to it. <br />
<br />
Which means that the <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-05-24/likejacking-spammers-hit-social-media" target="_blank">reports of 40% of various social media</a> are simply spammers.<br />
<br />
Wordpress, like Hubpages, over-reacts and makes everyone jump
through hoops if they want to promote a product which will actually
help somone. Consider this article by Lee Ogden on <a href="http://www.toprankblog.com/2008/02/wordpress-seo-blogs/" target="_blank">"Wordpress.com and SEO Blogs - Love or Hate?"</a>
He goes into the point that wordpress.com is in the enviable position
of being indexed within an hour by Google. So anyone who's got a lick
of sense will be posting to WP.com in order to get backlinks.<br />
<br />
The really funny thing is that the serious entrepreneurs and socia
media marketers are a step ahead of these guys. What they do is to use
WP.com and other free blogs to get their own sites ranking well in
Google - as long as they stay within the pimping guidelines of that
free platform.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="http://onlinemillionaireplan.com/online_sunshine_plan_.html" target="_blank">What does this really mean for Internet/Affliate Marketing?</a></h2>
The solutions have worked themselves out over the past few years:<br />
<ol>
<li>Write informative articles which link in turn to <br />
</li>
<li>Review articles you write on your own host which drive traffic to</li>
<li>Your own or the Affiliate Landing/Sales pages</li>
</ol>
Note the breakdown on the above:<br />
<ul>
<li>Your own content is written in a non-salesy way, but links to your own blog and review pages.</li>
<li>Your own content is properly SEO'd so that it is in turn ranked highly by Google (as the 'bot's can make easy sense out of it).</li>
<li>Landing/Sales pages are never more than 2 clicks away from a WP.com blog entry.</li>
</ul>
So this is pretty simple. <br />
<br />
<br />
A. Get hosting (like Hostgator) and a domain name (from GoDaddy).<br />
B. Then learn how to do simple mini-sites which you can upload by FTP and keep updated. (I'd
recommend wordpress as a free blogging platform, but they do lousy
stand-alone landing pages, as the overhead of keeping that many
databases running can tank your server.)<br />
C. Find the various autoposting sites like Posterous and have them
post your content to the various blogs for you. (Just make sure you
have several email addresses in case one gets banned by accident.)<br />
D. Make sure these posts are as well SEO'd as you can and all link
back to those static review-type landing pages you created on your own
domain.<br />
<br />
As you post your content and re-publish it, more and more people see it and it gives you backlinks.
The backlinks (along with some of the communty work which exists on
these free sites - recommended, what's new, and so forth) will get
Google's attention so it will come and scrape your site for links.<br />
<br />
Any sort of success with the above simply continues this scene - so
the pimps become the pimped, after a fashion. Although, if you are
writing really great content and sharing versions which the free blogs
can use in turn for free (to get their ad revenue up), then everyone
wins along this line.<br />
<br />
That is what we are after, anyway - <a href="http://robertworstell.com/omp/fundedproposal.php" target="_blank">creating enough value that anyone can win in Internet Marketing</a>.<br />

And guess what? Those site owners can never make money online.<br/><br/>The secret to traffic appears to be backlinks. Other people can tell you it's tweets from Twitter, or mentions on Facebook - but what are you really looking at? Those tweets and Facebook posts have what?<br/><br/><b>Backlinks.</b><br/><br/>If someone simply said "go out on the web and look for someone named Joe Schmoe who has a website" - well, you just guessed it. Chances are next to none.<br/><br/>Even if you only had a single page which had an offer to buy your product - you'd get tons of traffic if you had backlinks out there so people could actually find your site.<br/><br/>A lot of people will create a wonderful web site or webpage and expect that visitors will come across it. They invest the bulk of their time in building a set of gorgeous web pages and even setting up probably the most amazing sales funnel for their clients, then they will merely sit and wait for the flood of traffic to arrive... And it never does.<br/><br/><i>What are Backlinks?</i><br/><br/>Okay, so what are back links? Backlinks are links pointing to your web site and to your internal pages. These are recognized as inbound links or backlinks. These links can originate either from other people's web site, web directories, article submission sites, feeder web-sites such as Squidoo or Hubpages, forums, blogs and even from internal linking in your very own web site.<br/><br/>Without having to learn all about search engine optimization (SEO), consider that getting your site found easily in the search engines is like a three-legged stool. Having incoming keywords helps that stool stand up. And that is what we are talking about today. (The other two, themeed/optimized pages and popularity, are subjects for later articles.)<br/><br/>Google and other search engines rely on backlinks to tell them the quality of your site and its relative meaning, along with other factors. The more high-quality (relevant) in-coming links, the more they say your site can be trusted and will elevate your rankings. The higher your rankings, the more likely people will click on your site when it comes up in searches.<br/><br/>What your site needs it good quality backlinks in order to 1) get into the search engine rankings at all, and 2) climb your way to the first page (where the majority of clicks occur).<br/><br/><i>Good quality Backlinks</i><br/><br/>Good quality backlinks contain the exact search phrase you designed your site to support. Suppose you had a site which sold a new brand of dog collar. So you want incoming links to have the phrase "dog collar" in them. Google would look at all these pages and say to themselves, "Oh, it's obvious other people think his site is about dog collars," and then give you better rankings for people looking that search term up in their browsers.<br/><br/>And so you look up all the key search phrases (also known as keywords) which your product has to offer, and then get backlinks into your page which offers that product. Or, at least that's the simple view of it.<br/><br/>Now we could go into an intense amount of description how to pick out keywords, the competition problems and so on. Again, that's another article. Let's just say that you did your homework before you built that page and know the key phrases people use when they look for products like yours. (And don't worry. If you haven't done this, it can be done starting now and then just tweak your page a bit - not a total re-design.)<br/><br/>Your objective really should be to rank on page one of Google's results for every main keyword. The strategy is to keep developing incoming links until you are on page 1 for the top 15 key phrases on your list. Only then would you consider adding additional search phrases to target.<br/><br/><div style='clear: both; text-align: center;' class='separator'><a style='clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;' href='http://bit.ly/fd7DDp'><img width='400' height='283' border='0' src='http://www.coffeeshopmillionaire.com/14/images/starbucks-kopp.jpg'/></a></div><b>Site Traffic From High Page Rank Web-sites</b><br/><br/>Initially, inside your link building campaigns commence by acquiring backlinks from high page rank web-sites. High page ranked internet sites get a lot of traffic and they get spidered by the search engines far more regularly. Your traffic will consist of people following those in-coming links directly and also from search engines.<br/><br/>To get backlinks, good quality backlinks, links along with your search phrases in them, you are going to will need a marketing campaign. Round up your keywords and phrases, discover the high page rank web-sites you want to get backlinks from and go to work.<br/><br/>The common approach for backlinks is not to just contact the author of that big-ranking site and ask for a link if you link to them. Search engines can quickly figure this out and discount these. Three common ways to do this are to:1) add comments on their site with your URL, and perhaps a keyword-linked phrase in the body of your text, 2) Writing articles for article directories which have links in their biography section, 3) Creating feeder pages on sites like Squidoo or Hubpages, which link with your keywords right back to your site.<br/><br/>- - - -<br/><br/>This information, plus plenty more, is available on the <a href='http://worstellr.csmillions.hop.clickbank.net/'>Coffee Shop Millionaire site</a>.

Again, to really rank, you have to love writing - or it's just another job. Most people use blogs to generate leads for their mailing list, and affiliate sales. Adsense and Amazon ads haven't made any millionaires (except for the owners of of those companies.)</li></ul>- - - -<br/><br/>I'm going to show you three quick and dirty ways to make money online, by working as much or as little as you want, from anywhere in the world, whenever you choose...<br/><br/><b>Freelance Writing</b><br/><br/>Online freelance writing jobs are plentiful, if you know where to look and can distinguish the legitimate opportunities from the potential scams.<br/><br/>Most people don't have a clue about the wide variety of writing opportunities available to them all over the Internet. These include writing simple articles, press releases, and even complete e-books. <br/><br/>Some clients pay upfront for your material, offering a certain amount per word or per assignment. Others will pay you per the hour for other writing and publishing related tasks such as proof-reading and editing web content.<br/><br/>Freelance writing networks such as "The Freelance Writing Jobs Network" are a great place to start looking for writing jobs and advice. And then there are what I call "freelance matchmaking" sites or "job boards" like Elance.com and Freelancer.com. <br/><br/>On these sites, almost every day, thousands of businesses post various types of writing projects, gigs and requests. If you get aggressive in applying for these open spots, then there's a virtually unlimited supply of writing opportunities that can make you money relatively quickly. <br/><br/>When starting, reply to as many project requests as possible, offer to work at a reasonable rate (but not dirt cheap), and be quick and responsive.<br/><br/>Landing that first gig is always the hardest step, but once you've built up a portfolio and some clientele, you'll get more and more consistent work. <br/><br/>The key to making money with freelance writing is to quickly produce as many quality pieces as you can for your portfolio, and then use job boards and social networking strategies to promote your writing. The more traffic you get to your online work, the more companies you'll have approaching you to write for them.<br/><br/>Here are some additional tips when setting up your portfolio:<br/><ol><li>Set up a professional web page with your resume, contact information, and some writing samples.</li><li>Establish yourself as a reputable, talented freelance writer by submitting only your best quality work to potential clients.</li><li>Network with other busy writers who may be able to send extra work your way. Participate in writers forums by writing useful comments and including links to your website and online work.</li></ol><br/><b>Making Money with eBay</b><br/><br/>If writing is not your thing, then hop on over to ebay.com and you can start selling almost anything you can imagine within just minutes. <br/><br/>Imagine having access to 100 million cash-spending buyers. That's exactly the kind of gold mine that's waiting for you on eBay. It has over 100 million registered users, all of whom are out there shopping for great deals. <br/><br/>To become a successful eBay seller, first you must first figure out what to sell. You can sell your own items, check out trade shows in your local area, or search online directories like Doba.com and Alibaba.com to find hot products. <br/><br/>Here's how to get the most out of your ebay listings and auctions:<br/><ol><li>Create good titles and descriptions, and include quality photos of the items. Write descriptions that stand out, but do not make them obnoxious by using all capital letters or excessive punctuation. Also, be honest about any defects in the items you have for sale.</li><li>Consider starting your own eBay store for selling large quantities, since they have a longer run time than typical auctions. Participate in the eBay community and read the forums to stay involved.</li><li>Other ways to get traffic to your auctions and items for sale include creating an page on eBay and linking to your auctions from other sites. You also could register a domain name dedicated solely to promoting your own auctions. </li></ol><br/>Once you find a hot product, keep selling it, and then gradually find more and more products you can promote. Over time, your income will grow exponentially.<br/><br/><b>How to Make Money with Your Own Blog</b><br/><br/>Blogging is another easy way to make money online. The secret to profitable blogging is to focus on a particular that is, your area of expertise or a very specific subject that is popular in the search engines. <br/><br/>Here's how to get started blogging:<br/><ol><li>Like freelance writing, you should approach blogging with the intent to write unique, quality content. Offering useful information and establishing yourself as a trustworthy resource to your readers will quickly lead to lots of word-of-mouth traffic to your blog. Readers can tell if you do not know what you are talking about, so do your research and focus on producing quality content. </li><li>Starting a blog is as simple as getting a free account at Wordpress.com, Blogger.com, or another blog hosting site. You can also pay for a domain name and hosting services if you want to personalize your blog even more. I suggest you start with the free options. (<i>editor's note: Wordpress.com frowns on affiliate links, Blogger doesn't.</i>)</li><li>Once you have established your blog, then you can focus on monetizing it by incorporating relevant ads through advertising networks like Google AdSense or Chitika. Affiliate programs such as Amazon also are becoming increasingly popular ways to earn extra revenue. In addition, you could sell private ads or review products on your blog.</li><li>Promote your blog by utilizing social networking opportunities such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging forums. If you're creative, then you'll find endless opportunities to promote your blog throughout these social communities.</li></ol>Freelance writing, selling on eBay, and blogging are only three of the many ways to make money online. They might require an initial investment of time and effort, but you are likely to see some quick income and even huge profits in the long run if you follow these hints.<br/><br/>- - - -<br/><br/><a style='clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;' href='http://bit.ly/eOlCFy'><img width='400' height='283' border='0' src='http://www.coffeeshopmillionaire.com/14/images/starbucks-kopp.jpg'/></a><a href='http://bit.ly/eOlCFy'>CoffeeShopMillionaire.com</a> is the new, Internet revolution that's helping people like you to start their own dream business, create absolute financial freedom, and escape the rat race for good, faster than they ever thought possible.<br/><br/>Click the link below right now to learn how you can join the new class of "lifestyle entrepreneurs" and make a full-time Internet income, or even generate millions of dollars working online from any coffee shop, anywhere in the world<br/><br/><a href='http://bit.ly/eOlCFy'>Sign up for Coffee Shop Millionaire today!</a><br/><br/><div class='zemanta-pixie'><img src='http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=36618d86-c300-8f15-81f3-8e5783ece709' alt='' class='zemanta-pixie-img'/></div></div>robertworstellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16109419616754661835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533261534892827049.post-12898872479280721622011-02-12T15:37:00.000-06:002014-02-18T12:40:48.899-06:00Make money online - Flipping Websites, Clickbank, and Google Adsense<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<li> <i>With Flipping Websites, </i>you really need some background in how websites are designed and what people think is valuable in them.

Need a little extra cash in these tough economic times? If so, then you may have just found a gold mine, because this article will show you ways to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.senze.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="make money online">make money online</a> - sitting in your own home, and with virtually no expense to you! <br />
<br />
<b>Make Money Flipping Websites</b><br />
<br />
Ever heard of flipping houses? Flipping websites is basically the same process, only WAY cheaper and faster!<br />
<br />
Here's how to get started:<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Buy An Existing Web Property</b>- Sites like Flippa.com, forums.digitalpoint.com, Sitepoint.com, and many other online website auctioneers have plenty of them.</li>
<li><b>Fix Er Up</b>- Do a little research on the website's niche, and then figure the best way to make the site better. It varies based on site, but sometimes just fixing up the theme or adding pictures (royalty free images at iStockphoto.com for cheap) can drastically help. (<i><u>Editor's note</u>: Again, check out <a href="http://worstelldesign.com/lessons/sbi.php">Site Build It!</a> for free tutorials in this area.</i>)<br /><br />Another thing you could do is add an interactive forum. You can create one using web forum software like Vbulletin.com. Or you could build a subscriber list by adding an email optin form, which you can create with free services like Mailchimp.com. The more subscribers or active members in the forum, the more you'll be able to sell your site for later!</li>
<li><b>Flip It-</b> Now go back to an auction site and sell the site for more than you bought it for. Expect to buy basic, but decent looking sites for $20-$50, and sell them for $100-$300! </li>
</ol>
<br />
<b>How to Make Clickbank Cash</b><br />
<br />
Clickbank.com is basically the number 1 place for ebooks and digital download products. For potential buyers Clickbank is a great way to find good, usable information on pretty much any topic you can imagine--from dating advice, to health advice, and a ton more. <br />
<br />
For affiliates like yourself, Clickbank is a great way to make cash. Here is how it all works:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Sign Up and Do Some <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_%28business%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Product (business)">Product</a> Research</b> - To start, you will need an account. That's easy to get, just sign up at Clickbank.com. Then you should start researching a "niche". Focus on something specific. For example, instead of just "golf" try finding a product on "stopping golf slices".<br />
<br />
<b>2. More Research, Get Links</b> - Once you've done some initial market research and found a few, specific products, narrow it down to your top 1 or 2. Review the sales page, and check out the Gravity of the product (Gravity basically indicates what is selling right now). Usually, the higher the Gravity, the better the chance you have to make a sale. <br />
<br />
Try out the product yourself if you can, and always ask for review copies. Talk to the vendor himself. If the vendor isn't professional and responsive, then that may indicate its not a very good product to promote. <br />
<br />
You want to make sure people who buy from them (through you) are satisfied. After you know your winner, get the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Affiliate marketing">affiliate link</a> by following Clickbank's easy to use instructions located in the "Clickbank Marketplace". <br />
<br />
<b>3. Promote!</b>- Finally, you just need to promote your new affiliate product. One of the best ways is writing articles about your niche topic, and then posting your affiliate link in the resource box. <br />
<br />
But if you want more exposure, create an email list, and promote it to the list of interested, targeted subscribers. You can also join forums in the niche, and have a signature link to your website. Don't be spammy and constantly try to sell in forums. Rather, just be yourself and try to be as helpful as possible.<br />
<br />
<b>Make Serious Dollars with Google Adsense</b><br />
<br />
Not interested in selling? Don't worry, there are ways to make money without selling a thing. One is Google Adsense. Ever see those ads on the side of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.google.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Google">Google</a> or in the side panel of a website? That's Adsense. <br />
<br />
Basically, you just have to direct visitors to your site, who in turn click on those ads displayed within its pages, and you get money! Here's the skinny on Adsense:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Set up a niche website with Adsense - Choose a niche, get a domain, then sign up at Adsense.com. Get a free blog from Wordpress.org.</li>
<li>Be Informative- Fill the blog with interesting content by writing articles, posting youtube and other videos, interview experts in your niche. The more interesting your articles and videos, the better.</li>
<li>Promote- Get traffic back to your site with social bookmarking, social media, ping directories, article and RSS feeds, etc. The more you promote, the more traffic you get, which means more money, how sweet is that?!</li>
<li>Get Paid- Finally, add Adsense to your blog! You can really do this at any time, its not hard and there are even plugins if you use Wordpress to manage the ads. Make sure you place your ads in highly visible positions on your site. The higher your click-through-rate (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click-through_rate" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Click-through rate">CTR</a>) the more you stand to make!</li>
</ol>
<b>Extra:</b> As mentioned above, you can even sell your site if it starts making you money with Adsense.<br />
<br />
So now you have an idea of what you can do to make money online. Feel like you've got a good chance? I hope so, because creating wealth online is very straightforward, just choose one of the methods above and get to work!<br />

<br />
<a href="http://worstelldesign.com/lessons/work-from-home.php">Making money online</a> is a matter of finding an audience who you can either advertise to or receive direct payment from. Either way, you need something interesting or informative with which to catch and hold your readers' attention. Your content is everything.<br />
<br />
I'll show you how you can make money presenting and distributing content via podcast or a newsletter, and how you can connect directly with your audience as an online tutor. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Getting Paid To Podcast </b></span><br />
<br />
To create a podcast, you will need a microphone and some recording software. If you have a camera, you can also produce video podcasts. <br />
<br />
You can download a free recording program from audacity.sourceforge.net, where you will also find tutorials on the technical side of podcasting.<br />
<br />
When you have the content and are able to produce good quality podcasts, you need listeners. You can find them by submitting your podcast to directories such as podcastalley.com, promoting it through a website or blog, or advertising in forums and newsletters. <br />
<br />
The bigger your market, the better. Don't be afraid of competitive markets, they're big for a reason--they pay and people are listening!<br />
<br />
You will then be able to make money by finding a sponsor who is willing to pay to reach your listeners. You could find your own advertisers, or join a podcasting network such as podtrac.com. <br />
<br />
If your content is desirable enough, you can charge for access to it, through services such as iTunes (apple.com/itunes). If you are selling your podcast, however, it is a good idea to create a free content version too in order to reach new listeners. <br />
<br />
<b>How To Get Paid To Publish Online Newsletters </b><br />
<br />
Even if you prefer the written word to audio podcasting, you will still need to take care of some technical details. <br />
<br />
The best way to distribute newsletters is through an autoresponder list service. These can be set up to automatically deliver pre-written emails to subscribers at set intervals. Each new subscriber will receive all of the emails in your predetermined sequence. That means you can load up a year's worth of content (or more), and it'll automatically publish straight to your subscribers' email boxes without you touching it again!<br />
<br />
A free autoresponder can be downloaded from responders.com, while a more professional program can be bought from aweber.com. These programs will also help with managing your subscriber list, so you stay spam compliant. <br />
<br />
A successful newsletter will be attractive, easy to read, and compatible with different computers and internet browsers. You can create beautiful PDF documents using a free program such as openoffice.com.<br />
<br />
Also, you do not have to create all your own content. You can get free stock photos and articles from sites such as publicdomainimages.net and ezinearticles.com. You can also pay for pre-written content from sites like associatedcontent.com. <br />
<br />
Email newsletters are perfect for marketing your own products, if you are running an online business. You can also make money by selling space to advertisers or even charging for subscriptions.<br />
<br />
By using the tools from services such as aweber.com, you can grow your online newsletter list to hundreds or even thousands of people. <br />
<br />
<b>Get Paid To Teach People All Over the World </b><br />
<br />
If you have knowledge and experience to share then you can do so in a podcast or newsletter, or by writing content for a site such as demandstudios.com, who will pay for articles. <br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can become an online tutor and communicate directly with students through video chat and email. You could find your own students by advertising your services on craigslist.org, or join a company who will pair you up with suitable learners. <br />
<br />
In order to get the best jobs, you may need some relevant qualifications, such as a degree, proven experience in a particular field, or a teaching certificate of some kind. <br />
<br />
Websites that recruit online teachers include universalclass.com, mytutor24.com, and tutor.com. Wiziq.com has a teacher directory where you can describe yourself and potential students can find you.<br />

What I was looking for at the time were the mathematical descriptions of action. Just action as a concept.<br />
<br />
Once you figure out that you are pushing your own purpose forward, you run into very predictable situations. And these are described by the bell curve. And those <a href="http://onlinemillionaireplan.com/">old posts</a> cover this far more than I need to go into here.<br />
<br />
The point is more modernly that you create your own success, that the world around you only tells your progress up to this point - it really isn't in charge of your life. You have an unlimited ability to create - and this is what makes your present change (or not.)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bit.ly/hdlDKy">T. Harv Eker</a> covers this in his book "<a href="http://bit.ly/ghGXMV">Secrets of the Millionaire Mind</a>", where he has a simple diagram which shows that the spiritual, mental, and emotional affect the physical. He laid out that the physical simply reflects the work you do in the other three - much like a print-out (or our own computer screens). If you don't like what's around you, then change your outlook, what you think, how you feel about it. Same thing those teachers in "<a href="http://bit.ly/exN6f8">The Secret</a>" all said. Over and over and over.<br />
<br />
Success is determined by how little you pay real attention to the universe around you for your motivations, and how much you generate faith in your own creative Self. <br />
<br />
- - - -<br />
<br />
Now, here's all those graphs and links to who's talking about them (just to tie up loose ends...)<br />
<br />
First, the Everett Rogers Technology Adoption Lifecycle model - shows where sales are happening, as well as utilization of product. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DiffusionOfInnovation.png"><img border="0" height="226" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/DiffusionOfInnovation.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
And then you plug in the Gartner Hype Cycle, which has more to do with how we market our products to each other and get them into actual use. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gartner.com/DisplayDocument?doc_cd=130115"><img border="0" height="356" src="http://www.gartner.com/resources/130100/130115/gartners_hyp_f1.gif" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Now Seth Godin (as part of his book "The Gap") is telling people that there is a similar curve just before this one. And people who drop into the "gap" in between have some major problems. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/05/avoiding-the-pa.html"><img border="0" height="422" src="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/04/passionpop.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
When you marry these up (as <a href="http://trashmarketing.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/organisations-need-to-take-risks-with-social-media-or-theyll-miss-the-boat-3/">Trashmarketing </a>did), you start seeing how these fit together. (Sorry, their graphic was reproduced at full size.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://trashmarketing.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/organisations-need-to-take-risks-with-social-media-or-theyll-miss-the-boat-3/"><img border="0" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_rD_GJjmONlo/SFD1LQqYdnI/AAAAAAAAAEA/XW5W8R-KRk8/s320/Gartner+&+Chasm+Overlay.001.jpg" /></a></div><br />
All very interesting data. And of course, you can get fascinated with all this stuff and look all these theories up and so on.<br />
<br />
However, you can also easily drop-kick all of this with simple <a href="http://awsm.co/SH3q">Silva</a>-<a href="http://bit.ly/dRle3Q">Levenson </a>work. But it's an interesting set of observations about how the "real world" tends to operate.<br />
<br />
A shorter approach: "Ignore the world around you and Create a new one."<br />
<br />
And even shorter: "<a href="http://midwestjournalpress.com/just-be.php">Just Be</a>."robertworstellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16109419616754661835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533261534892827049.post-32357414597073344352011-01-10T06:29:00.000-06:002011-01-10T06:29:18.165-06:00Here's the Online Millionaire System<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://onlinemillionaireplan.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="http://onlinemillionaireplan.com/images/money-background-seamless-fill-bluesky.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><h1 id="internal-source-marker_0.8772294248701084"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 24pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Online Millionaire System</span></h1><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Basic point is that the <a href="http://onlinemillionaireplan.com/0_basics/OnlineMillionairePlan-Basics.pdf">OMP-basics book</a> seems to cover everything a person needs to get started.

The intent is what is important. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">(And that is covered in <a href="http://midwestjournalpress.storeblogs.com/">An Online Sunshine Plan.</a>)<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">18. Convert your content to PDF's (ebooks) and post these to scribd.com, slideshare.net, and doc-stoc.com - ensure you leave links in your description back to the key pages you want people to visit (preferably deep-linked.)</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">For me, this pushes people back to finding their own motivations in life and what they want to do with it. And I simply align everything to just that - telling people they can improve their lives with what I've found.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Now, you extend your main CMS downward into additional related sub-niches. Currnent work on this is to create a new category with additional pages and sub-pages on your CMS - or simply sub-pages if your niche is broad enough. (You can simply blog about the data you find and cross-link the pages and posts within each other.) Or go ahead and make a subdirectory with it's own set of mini-pages which are cross-linked. (Use a little mini-CMS like Zimplit or just hard-code these in an editor such as Kompozer. If you are more savvy, get into using a php-based CMS like onefilecms or pulse.)</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How big you get is all how interested you are in your niche - and how much you like to talk about it.</span><br />

Worstell</a></i><br/><br/>Of course, this is how the self-help industry fits the definition of a <a href='http://worstelldesign.com/lessons/get-scam-free.php' target='_blank'>scam</a>: (whine) "I didn't get what I expected (or was sold)." And while reputable distributors honor repayments quickly, it still doesn't help that you didn't get what you wanted.<br/><br/>Because <i>self help is supposed to <u>do </u>something for you</i>. Something you can apply yourself to your self and improve in some way. <br/><br/>It doesn't work when you aren't able to change what you had your hopes on - or had all your attention tied up in.<br/><br/>And that is the same problem that <a href='http://midwestjournalpress.com/modern-living/' target='_blank'>enlightenment </a>has. What works for one guru doesn't necessarily work for his followers. So many of these guys keep talking and writing and videoing in the hope that something they say will resonate and strike a chord so that reader or listener can then piece together their own path "up the mountain". <br/><br/>The problem, as usual, lies within ourselves, not external to us. <br/><br/>Most of these self-help authors and guru's only fail not in making themselves rich, but in helping you to do so. And that is why they sometimes get the label scammer. Not because what they say doesn't work - it just doesn't work for everyone. <br/><br/>And the people who never figure this out can fill libraries with the books and CD's or DVD's that they buy on a regular basis looking for the "one way" which will set them free.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, that "one way" is already inside them. And it's as individual and specific as every person out there. For if we were all the same, it would be just too easy for any or all of us to get clear on what we really want and need - and manifest or attract these at will.<br/><br/>But it isn't that easy. Because no one is around to tell you exactly what you should be doing next on your own path to enlightenment. <br/><br/>Many find that unless they continue to attend these various seminars, or plug in their audio CD's, or listen regularly to downloaded MP3's, that they will lose what they already gained and "backslide".<br/><br/>Of course, this is just more hogwash, rubbish, junk, you name it. (Or sometimes referred to as "<a href='http://worstelldesign.com/lessons/work-from-home.php' target='_blank'>Internet Marketing</a>".)<br/><br/>Look - the gains you've made are yours forever. Whatever you have found already that works for you will continue to work for you from here on out. Nothing can change that effectiveness except you - by changing your own faith in the tools you found. <br/><br/>And faith, as <a href='http://midwestjournalpress.com/napoleon-hill.php' target='_blank'>Napoleon Hill</a> covers, is <i>internally created</i>. No one can take your faith away from you - except you. <br/><br/>The bottom line to all self-help and personal improvement material is that you are invited to restore your own personal faith in your self. <br/><br/>Of course, we've all been taught many different ways to not do this - to simply continue in battering our ways through life, despite all obstacles thrown in our way. And we constantly evaluate for others and defend ourselves from potential attacks...<br/><br/>But that whole scenario I just described is a lie. None of that really exists. All that fiction we've swallowed is really designed to limit our own beliefs in ourselves and those around us so that we won't ever trust any truly workable technique that we encounter. Yes, it's all a conspiracy to keep you down. Feel better now?<br/><br/>Of course, I can say this because I've been studying this stuff most of my life. And most intensively over the past decade. Yes, I've collected a small library and published even more of these so others could find them. And I've spent most of that life being "scammed" by various organizations and individuals when I found that their stuff "didn't work."<br/><br/>The breakthrough I had recently - which is what I'm sharing with you today - is that there is just no "one size fits all" self-help system which works for every individual. Again, it's due to us being "individuals". <br/><br/>So I'll tell you that my own way of getting enlightened went through many self help authors, such as Hill above, <a href='http://midwestjournalpress.com/wallace-wattles.php' target='_blank'>Wallace Wattles</a>, <a href='http://www.lulu.com/content/478047' target='_blank'>Thomas Troward</a>, <a href='http://midwestjournalpress.com/charles-haanel.php' target='_blank'>Charles F. Haanel</a>, <a href='http://www.lulu.com/content/701246' target='_blank'>Dorothea Brande</a>, <a href='http://midwestjournalpress.com/earl-nightingale.php' target='_blank'>Earl Nightingale</a> - and many others. And I got a little (or great) something from each of one. And these lead to <a href='http://midwestjournalpress.com/levenson.php' target='_blank'>Lester Levenson</a> and more recently to <a href='http://astore.amazon.com/nvcommunication-20' target='_blank'>Marshall Rosenburg</a>. As well, along this route, there were side-jaunts to investigate <a href='http://awsm.co/SH3q' target='_blank'>Jose Silva</a> and his protege' <a href='http://awsm.co/SH2k' target='_blank'>Burt Goldman</a>, as well as <a href='http://astore.amazon.com/sergeking-20' target='_blank'>Serge Kahili King</a> of <a href='http://midwestjournalpress.com/max-freedom-long.php' target='_blank'>Huna </a>fame - among others.<br/><br/>Somewhere along the line, I got enlightened. And as <a href='http://astore.amazon.com/alanwattspath-20' target='_blank'>Alan Watts</a> described, simply went back to what I was doing before. I just stepped back over that thin line and kept writing and blogging and making videos. <br/><br/>But that was my own route, my own path. It was simple once I found it, but what I did isn't the same thing you will have to do for yourself. <br/><br/>The funny part is, you'll find as you look around (carefully and honestly) that there are a great deal more people who have found and stepped over that thin line of enlightenment than you may have ever considered. And they're there - all in plain sight. Just like most of these self-help "secrets". You only have to consider that you can find them and either start looking or start listening. <br/><br/>It's my humble opinion that you are going to have to tailor your own traveling suit. You are going to have to cobble your own shoes to do that walking. All the materials and tools are sitting there - just waiting for you to do so. <br/><br/>And that is my gift to you. Enjoy your life and start living it for real. Because just as everything you need to improve your own life is sitting out there right in front of you - it is just as true that only you will be able to pick from that smorgasbord of working philosophies and systems to build your own path that you need to walk. <br/><br/>One size doesn't fit all - but when you make your own, it's tailored just for your own success.<br/><br/>Good Hunting!<br/><br/>- - - -<br/><br/><big><b>About the author:</b></big><br/><br/><img src='http://robertworstell.com/media/blogs/midwest/selfphoto_thumb.jpg' style='max-width: 800px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-right: 10px;'/>Rev. <a href='http://robertworstell.com' target='_blank'><b>Dr. Robert C.
