In all seriousness, when the waters get muddied by the candidates' stances on various issues and their never-ending streams of promises, there is one no-fail method to choosing which candidate you should vote for…

Vote for God.

What I mean is this…

Be honest with yourself about your deep-down spiritual beliefs and then make sure you vote for the candidate who SUPPORTS those beliefs.

I'm not telling you to vote the way I do. And, I'm sure as heck not telling you how to believe.

What I am saying is this…

Be true to YOUR spiritual beliefs and - however YOU define God - do not vote for any candidate who takes a position against God's laws as you understand them.

If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself:

In the spirit of the New Year, I plan to turn over a new leaf…

In 2007, I was absolutely terrible about staying in touch with you and providing you with weekly information that could make help you build a profitable internet marketing business.

This is my commitment to you…

In 2008, I PROMISE to be more consistent:

• I will update my "Abundant Living Online" newsletter blog every week.
• I will keep you posted on any significant items that could affect your internet success.
• I will make myself more available to my Passive Profits System and Traffic Dominate Tricks students via the student forums.

In the spirit of the New Year, I encourage you to make a similar commitment to yourself.

In 2008, PROMISE yourself that:

• You will consistently put time into building your internet business.
• You will remain focused on the online business model you chose, and not let every fly-by-night internet marketing opportunity distract you from pursuing your goal.
• You WILL earn substantial profits from your internet marketing business this year!

And to help you attain your goals in 2008…

I am about to reveal EXACTLY what I personally do to make quick cash when money is tight!

So stay tuned… I'll reveal all in a few short days.

Making money as an affiliate is fairly straight-forward… choose a product to promote and then get your website visitors or newsletter subscribers to click your affiliate link and purchase the product. When they do, you get paid a commission. Although getting that commission is not difficult when you apply effective marketing strategies, there are ways to increase your profits with little or no extra effort.

For example, let’s say you decide to become an affiliate for “Product A” and in order to sell this product you build a web page to promote its benefits. On this web page you discuss the benefits of “Product A” and do some pre-selling. Then you provide your affiliate link so your website visitor can either buy the product or get more information from the vendor’s website.

One way to increase your profits immediately is to make sure that “Product A” pays the most commission when compared with other competing offers. If two products are essentially the same, why not promote the one that puts the most money in your pocket?

Here’s another thing to consider… make sure the product you choose to promote has a high customer satisfaction rating. Because most vendors reduce your commission by any product returns, a high return rate will reduce your commission income significantly. More importantly, you stand to lose trust and credibility in the eyes of your customer when you promote inferior products.

Another strategy to increase affiliate commissions is to look for residual offers to promote. Let’s say “Product A” is in a niche where there’s a membership site offering the same type of information… but instead of a one-time commission you get paid a percentage of those membership fees each and every month. Now there’s a way to increase profits without doing any additional work!

Passive income streams are created when you do the work once and then you’re able to “walk away” so to speak. I like to spend all of my effort and time in the beginning stages of a project to set things up the RIGHT way… and then move on to other things knowing that the profits will just keep flowing in without me doing anything besides cashing the checks!

And flow in is exactly what those profits do! Often they start out as nothing more than a small trickle and then develop into steady streams of income. And sometimes, they even turn into complete FLOODS! Now, although the floods don’t happen with each and every system I set up, the streams consistently do… as long as I follow my established process for creating them.

Following a system is the real key to developing passive profits streams. I’ll also let you in on a little secret… most people go about building their multiple passive income streams the WRONG WAY!

Most people recognize the value in building multiple income streams so they jump right in and start building all of them at once. That is a BIG MISTAKE… although it may seem counter-intuitive… the best way to build multiple income streams is by focusing on one stream at a time. Focus should be placed on a stream until that stream is flowing. Then, and only then, will you be ready to move on to the next one. If you take this approach, you’ll be seeing the profits flow in for years to come.

As you may know, I have offered a program for the last few years that teaches others how to build their own multiple streams of PASSIVE income. You may also know that I recently performed a COMPLETE OVERHAUL of this course by adding brand new information and techniques as well as reformatting it as an online workshop. This will allow me to keep it freshly updated as I become aware of new developments that students need to know about… it will always be current and up-to date!

The online workshop environment allows students to listen to audios where I discuss the STRATEGY behind the methods and tactics I use for setting up these “niche-dominating” passive profits systems. These strategy lessons are then followed up with videos that SHOW exactly what to do in a STEP-BY-STEP way to create passive income streams.

Then, a homework assignment is presented so that students can actually jump in and create their own “Passive Profits System.” In fact, by the end of the workshop, each student will have a completed system of their own… Multiple PASSIVE Income Stream Number One. It’s then easy to start over and create Number Two, Number Three and so on…

There are some special reasons you should attend my "Passive Profits System Online Workshop" now:

As a special benefit to those attending the live online workshop, I will hold LIVE coaching calls after EACH LESSON to answer questions and discuss the material YOU want to cover. This added coaching benefit is worth the price of admission alone!

And, if you register NOW, you can SAVE $500 OFF the normal registration fee and get special bonuses only offered to students who attend the LIVE workshop…

The “Passive Profits System Online Workshop” begins this Saturday, September 29, 2007 with the first lesson available at 10:00 AM EST. You can learn more and register at http://www.PassiveProfitsSystem.com – I hope you can join me!

I truly enjoy sharing my knowledge with others – helping people to start their own businesses from home, to create passive income streams that will fund their retirement years, or making it possible for someone to leave their deadend job MUCH sooner than they had anticipated.

Well, today I have some EXCITING news to share…

On Tuesday evening, September 18, 2007 at 7:00 pm Eastern, I will be hosting my first ever “Passive Profits Webinar!”

In this exclusive webinar, I will be sharing some of my best tips, tricks and techniques for creating Passive Profits using Multiple Income Streams…

And you are invited to attend for FREE!

It’s going to be an eye-opening experience packed with a LOT of information.

… It’s FREE!

Why would you want to attend the “Passive Profits Webinar?”

A lot of internet “guru’s” out there claim to teach this stuff but, the truth is, very few of them actually reveal the nitty gritty of what you need to know in order to build a profitable online business. I know because I was once in your shoes.

When I first got started online, I purchased tons of “how to” ebooks, courses, training materials — you name it. And let me tell you…most of them were nothing but JUNK! I had to actually throw them all out and start from scratch on my own… with nobody there to guide me.

Now that I’ve developed proven systems for generating income on the internet – systems than ANYONE can use to build a successful online business – I want to “give back” and help others who want to save themselves years of frustration and wasted money.

As you may already know, I’ve developed several step-by-step courses that use both audio and video to teach you WHAT to do and show you HOW to do it. It’s the closest thing to having me look over your shoulder while you work and saying “click here” and “do that.” I am proud to say that many online entrepreneurs got their start from taking my courses and applying the strategies I teach.

One of my best-known multi-media courses is called the “Passive Profits System.” Well, a few short months ago, I decided to revamp the “Passive Profits System” — and it has been quite a project!

I ended up doing a TOTAL OVERHAUL of the original course… with completely new tools, new tactics, new videos, and new strategies that will enable you to dominate any niche in any market you choose. The final product (if I may say so myself) is truly amazing! Why am I telling you all this? Because…

I’ll be giving a sneak peek at the NEW “Passive Profits System” on Tuesday night’s webinar!

Yes, I'm still alive and kicking. And, yes… my business is still thriving.

So, where did I go?

I've been here all along, but LIFE happened. I won't go into all the details, but the past 18 months have been some of the most stressful of my entire life. Both personally, and with technical problems that affected the coaching/training portion of my business (thank GOODNESS for my passive income sites, or all would have been lost!).

If you wonder what I've been doing the past year between all the person stuff and the technical headaches, the truth is I've been working with my apprentices and proteges… and planning a LOT of exciting updates for everyone on my list. So, stay tuned… I'll be notifying you as soon as everything is ready.

In the meantime, I'd love to share with you one of the funniest and most creative marketing strategies I've seen online…

If you don't know Howard Tiano yet, you will soon. He's been schmoozing with some of the best internet marketers for a couple of years now. And, I'm proud to say, he is one of my apprentices (and has also become a very close friend).

When he first showed his cutting-edge video ezine to me, I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY (and I don't say that lightly).

• It is clever and unique.
• It is hilariously funny.
• It is interesting and insightful.
• And, it is really good information.

Best of all…

• It is FREE!

Yes, you heard that right.

For a limited time, Howard is giving away subscriptions to his extremely insightful, hilariously funny, and oddly compelling weekly video ezine… For FREE!

If you enjoy this free video ezine as much as I do, PLEASE come back and leave a comment to let me know.

Think about it…

If you could take $100 and, instead of spending it on tools that you need to build your business, you invested it in marketing and advertising that brought in new customers – and each new customer made repeat purchases – what would happen to your bottom line?

That is EXACTLY how I built my income to 5-figures a month when I first started my internet business. Here’s what I did…

• The first month, I took $300 I typically spent on something else, and invested it in marketing and advertising for my business. That investment resulted in a $300 profit from new customers.
• The next month, I took the $300 I typically spent on something else ALONG WITH my $300 profit, and invested it in all in more marketing and advertising. That month my investment turned into $600 profit from new customers.
• The following month, I took the $300 I typically spent on something else, along with that $600 profit, and invested it all in more marketing and advertising. How much did it earn? $1,100 profit from new customers.
• The next month, I took the $300 I typically spent on something else, along with $1000 of my profit (just so you know, I kept the extra $100 to reward myself for a job well done), and again invested it all in more marketing and advertising for my business. That month, my investment turned into a $3,000 profit from new customers.

Are you beginning to see the pattern here?

And I’m only telling you about profits from sales to NEW customers. Remember…I also made repeat sales to those customers.

By saving money I would have spent anyway, and investing it in marketing and advertising that brought in new customers, I was able to very quickly turn an expense into a huge profit generating system.

For years, I’ve been trying to find a way to help my students reduce their business expenses so they can apply the same powerful strategy I just shared with you… a strategy that easily and painlessly leverages pennies into dollars.

Since I couldn’t find a program that would do this, I decided to design one myself. It took me the better part of a year, but my students agree the “Marketers Ultimate Success Toolkit” (M.U.S.T. for short) was well worth the wait.

M.U.S.T. is designed to provide you with as many tools and training as humanly possible, all in one easy-to-afford package… so you can spend less and EARN MORE.

Just take a look at everything that’s included, and compare it with what you’re already spending on those same tools. And, I continue to add more tools and resources to M.U.S.T. every month.

M.U.S.T. will help you save money on the tools necessary to run your business so you can leverage your savings into massive earnings. That is why the “Marketers Ultimate Success Toolkit” is truly a M.U.S.T. for every online marketer who is serious about building a profitable internet business.

These past 4 months have been some of the toughest in my business career. It seems that, every time I would move a step forward, something would happen to set me back TWO steps.

The bottomline is… the reason I've been experiencing these upsets is because my business grew too quickly for my business foundation to support. Here's what I mean…

When I started my business back in 1998, I never dreamed I would be so successful.

As most people who are first starting a business, I barely had two nickels to rub together, and so I ended up doing EVERYTHING myself:

• Writing my own salesletters.
• Designing my own websites.
• Making my own sales calls.
• Fulfilling my own orders.
• Filing my own paperwork.
• Answering my own correspondence.

… And the list goes on and on.

The problem is, I waited TOO long to hire other people to take some of these tasks off my hands.

When I finally hired people, I was already trying to fit more than a day's work into every 24 hours… and then had to take time out of my already overwhelming schedule to train people.

The theory was… I would fall behind for a time, but would eventually pull ahead because of the extra "hands."

Well, unfortunately, it worked much better in theory than in fact.

I made a few bad hiring choices and - as a result - have now lost 4 months of momentum and income in my business.

I am starting to come out of it now. But, if you've been wondering why I seemed to disappear and why I stopped writing, now you know. I had absolutely NO time whatsoever to spend on anything that wasn't vitally essential to keeping my business going just one more day.

Why am I sharing this with you?

To caution YOU not to make the same mistake I did. Don't wait until you are so swamped with work that you have no choice other than to hire someone.

As soon as you begin earning money in your business, you should begin hiring helpers to take over some of the more mundane tasks. That will free you up to focus your energies on the tasks that generate profit… which will enable you to build your business much faster (and with far less stress) than I have.

I guess this is just one more mistake I can help you avoid because I made the mistake first.
:-)

I mean…isn't it enough that Monday is spent catching up on email and stuff that came in over the weekend? Why is it that — if something is going to go wrong — it seems to always happen on a Monday??

Okay, I admit it. Maybe I'm feeling a bit biased right now. But, let me tell you what happened to me on Monday this week, and let's see if you don't agree with me…

I have a project deadline coming up on April 3rd (yep, next Monday…go figure). This project is worth a bundle, so I want to launch it on time…but the videos for the project are taking just FOREVER to complete.

To make sure my time this week is clear for video production, I spent a portion of Sunday getting all my ducks in a row and preparing all the materials I'd need to spend all day Monday (and the rest of this week) in video production.

Now, keep in mind that I work out of my home…

I wake up bright and early Monday morning, shower, put on makeup (which I almost never do!), style my hair (again, something I usually don't take the time to do), dress in a "professional" outfit (definitely NOT something I do on a regular basis)…and I'm just about to sit down at the computer to begin making videos when someone starts to use a chainsaw in my next door neighbor's yard.

Do you know how LOUD a chainsaw is? And, the noise goes on, and on, and on!

Anyway, back to my story…

Even with the windows shut tight, the noise of the chainsaw is so loud (in every room of my house) that there is no way I can create a video without the sound of the chainsaw drowning out the sound of my voice.

So, I decide to do some busywork for a few minutes. After all, I figure, how long can it take to chop some wood…15 minutes, a half hour?

A full HOUR later, I finally get frustrated enough to stick my head out the door and ask "how long are you going to be?"

Guess what they said…

"All day."

Yep…they were cutting down a dead tree in my neighbor's yard. And, they were true to their word…it took the entire day to chop it down and cut it up into pieces they could cart away.

And, what did I do all day? (After all, it was too noisy in the house to hear the TV or even listen to the radio.)

I spent the entire day doing busywork, and preparing materials in hope that things will be quiet enough the rest of the week for me to get the videos finished!
