Register now! Free Call – June 23rd – 9 PM EST/6 PM PST

I know the economy has seen better days, but it’s very counter-productive if you just sit around and wait for things to get better. It’s important to take action to better your circumstances because they’re not going to get better on their own.

Here’s something that will truly change your life for the better (I hope), no matter what circumstance you may be in right now, but you have to take action.

A good friend of mine, Shannon Jaklic, is holding a teleseminar that will teach you how him and his wife, Kim, made $109,000 within 9 and a half weeks building a profitable business on the internet – Even in this tough economy.

This is the real deal, folks!

I was talking with Shannon on Facebook the other day, and he was telling me how him and his wife have a passion for sharing what they’ve learned over the past 3 years with other people. They didn’t come from wealthy families – They earned every cent they made.

Shannon had been working his butt off in the construction business, making $50,000 a year. Yeah… that’s some nice money, but he was also working 70 hours a week.

The money wasn’t worth the sacrifice of never seeing his family. I can’t blame him one bit for wanting out of that mess. There are just some things money can’t buy.

Long story short… Shannon and Kim realized they wanted to move in a different direction and get Shannon out of the construction business so that he could have more time with his family.

9 and a half weeks later, Shannon was able to quit his job.

Shannon and Kim have over 3 years of experience in network marketing and direct sales and have used what they learned to build multiple, successful online businesses, bringing in up to $50,000 per month.

No lie…

But this is where it gets really cool.

The teleseminar that Shannon and Kim are holding on June 23rd at 9pm EST is an informational call for entrepreneurial minded people looking to start or restart a business in today’s economy.

Within their 3 years of experience, they’ve learned some key components that are necessary to succeed in any online business, and also what you must avoid if you don’t want to fail. They’ll be sharing this information on the call.

You don’t want to miss it!

This is REAL advice… from REAL people who have a passion for helping others in these tough times.

This is about using a proven model and applying it to whatever business you want to create your own success and your own recession-proof future.

Shannon and Kim didn’t have any experience or skills when they started 3 years ago. So, if you think this stuff will be too complicated or over your head… relax, because this is exactly for people like you.

All you have to do is register for the live call and then prepare to be blown away June 23rd when things get kicked off at 9pm EST.

If you’re at all skeptical about this stuff… then just leave right now. This isn’t for the doubters and naysayers.

This also isn’t for the pouters. I’m not here to feel sorry for you, I’m here to help you, and I hope I can do that by getting you to sign up for the call. What you’ll learn will change your life.

This is for people who are willing to do whatever it takes to turn their financial situation around and create a positive and bright future.

Register for the FREE call now!

Making positive steps towards a better tomorrow will set yourself in the right direction from here on out.

Why wait for the economy to get better?

Create a better future starting today and sign up for the free teleseminar.

I’ll see you on the call.

We all know that generating traffic to your website is essential if you want to make money online. Not only this, but targeted traffic that is interested in what you have to say or sell is what really counts.

In this day and age, there are so many ways to get free website traffic it’s almost not even funny. However, most people don’t know about all the various ways in which to go about getting it for free. I even fall into this category as some methods are either new or just totally unique from what most people are teaching.

Anyway, I’m always looking to increase the traffic to my site, mainly using free methods. Let’s face it, we all like free stuff.

Not only that, but free search engine traffic is one of the best in quality when it comes to converting that traffic into money. So, when I’m marketing my site I do a lot of backlink building to ensure my website increases its ranking in the search engine. Not to mention the marketing I do is, of course, completely free.

Hey, there’s that “free” word again, and speaking of, I have a free gift for you.

I just got my hands on a new ebook titled: “30 Ways To Get Free Website Traffic in 30 Minutes or Less.” The book is actually written by my affiliate marketing mentors and provides some traffic resources I haven’t yet tried or heard of.

Instead of diving into the details about what’s in the ebook, I figured you’re intelligent enough to find out for yourself.

I’m offering this ebook free of charge to you, my readers. If you’d like to get free traffic to your website, then I encourage you to grab yourself a copy and apply the techniques that they share.

To download your free copy, simply Click Here.

There’s no opt-in or any of that stuff. Clicking the link above will take you straight to the ebook from where you can then download it to your computer, which I recommend.

Or, simply right-click the link and choose to “Save Link As” or “Save As”, depending on your browser, to save the ebook directly to your computer.

After downloading and reading through the ebook, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it, so be sure to come back and share them below…

Wow, I can’t believe we’re a whole month into 2010 already. January felt like it went so fast. Almost too fast, actually.

But alas, a new month is here, and we gotta keep pushing forward. It’s the beginning of February, so that means another edition of blog post roundup.

If you happened to miss any of my posts in January, you can find them below. Hope you enjoyed them.

6 Tips To Help You Reach Online Success

5 Tips To Market Yourself On The Internet

3 Reasons You Will Never Make Money Online

5 Things You MUST Do To Make Money Online

Going off from what I wrote yesterday about why you will never make money online, I thought I’d provide some advice on what you can do to ensure that you DO make money online. This may have something to do with a reader unsubscribing from my RSS feed. I don’t know. Perhaps I struck a chord or was too harsh. Either way, the truth is the truth, and there’s no point in sugar-coating it.

So anyway, I want to give you some tips that will help you make money online, especially if you fall into any of the 3 areas that I posted about yesterday.

1. Learn the Skills – No this isn’t high school or college all over again, although it can feel like it at times (I didn’t go to college, BTW). There are skills that you will have to learn and obtain. This can be done through reading blogs or visiting forums. Find a few people that you trust and who are providing valuable information that you can apply to your online business. Yes, this will take time and actual work. Consider it homework, if you will. If you have to, get a mentor to ensure you’re going in the right direction.

2. Make Time! – This is one of my biggest pet peeves. Too many people complain about not having enough time to do things. Well that can be true to a degree, but there’s always ways in which you can better manage your time in order to make time for the things you say you don’t have time for. You’ll need all the time you can get building and marketing your online business, so you better learn to manage your time wisely.

3. Set Goals – I used to have a problem of not setting goals for my business. Now that I set goals, it encourages me to do what I have to do in order to reach those goals. Learn to set goals for yourself. They don’t have to be big ones, but set little baby goals that will act as stepping stones towards your big, ultimate goal.

4. Re-invest Your Money – Thanks to the internet you no longer need a lot of money to start your own business. In fact, depending on what you decide to do, you can get started for free. However, at some point, you’re going to want to re-invest the money you’re making back into your business. Use it to start a website, do some marketing, buy advertising, etc. Hire freelancers to do most of the leg work if you want. In simple terms, use your money to grow your business, otherwise it may stay stagnant.

5. Choose your programs carefully – I believe this is where most people fail. With so many programs and opportunities out there, choosing which one to go with can be very difficult. It’s important that you do your research before rushing into a decision. Once you do pick the program, believe in it with all your heart. If you don’t have faith in the program you’re promoting, no one else will either.

Creating a successful online business requires work, patience and positive thinking. You may even find yourself getting help from mentors that will guide you on the right path.

However, no matter how much help you receive, and no matter how much you learn, you can still fail. I’m not trying to scare you, but the statistics don’t lie. Most people never reach success because they end up giving up too early. They either underestimated the amount of work required, just got tired of it or got too far in over their heads. And then some quit due to financial restrictions.

This doesn’t have to be you. A recent article I wrote titled, Do You Have What it Takes to Succeed? will provide you with 6 tips to help you keep on track and not give up.

In case you’re in a hurry, here are the 6 tips to take to heart:

1. Plan

2. Stay Focused

3. Dedication

4. Buy a System that Works

5. Work Smarter, Not Harder

6. Review Your Progress From Time to Time

Points 2 and 3 I feel are the most important because this is where so many fail, and ultimately fail at reaching success working from home.

Do you have any tips to add that have helped you reach success? Share them below…

In my previous post, I briefly mentioned about the importance of having a mentor or group of mentors that can guide you on the path to online business success. One of my loyal blog readers, Dennis Edell, pointed out that all successful people (especially the top 1%) have a mentor. Well, I don’t know that I’d consider myself successful (financial wise), nor am I in the top 1%, but I do have a group of mentors that have helped me out tremendously in learning affiliate marketing.

The reason for this post is to introduce you to the group of mentors I’ve had the privilege of working with. What’s unique, I believe, is that they’ve been open to helping ANYONE who is either new to affiliate marketing, struggling to make money, or looking to take their online business to the next level. There’s not too many successful internet marketers that are willing to work one-on-one with people, as pointed out by Meka, another reader of this blog.

Of course, they can’t literally work one-on-one with every single person, but I think they got a pretty good setup in place. They have a membership site designed specifically for people who want to get into affiliate marketing by setting up niche blogs. This is certainly the starting point in which anyone who is serious should take in order to start earning some extra income online.

The membership site provides an outline and step-by-step action plan to follow, from planning, getting your website set up, marketing/advertising, optimizing and bringing in a residual and passive income month after month. The mentors who started this membership site all are regular people just like you and me who had a desire to be their own boss and work from home. They saw an opportunity and did everything they could to see their dreams become a reality. They call themselves the Affiliate Power Group.

The mentors have been successfully working from home with affiliate marketing full-time for a number of years and are now sharing their experience and knowledge with the rest of us. That’s my main goal and purpose of this blog. I just love helping people and giving back, and it’s obvious that they’re very willing to do the same.

The great thing about the Affiliate Power Group is that they have a built-in forum (just updated) where you can ask questions and get direct answers from the mentors as well as other members. This is where the one-on-one attention is created because you have direct access to each mentor at anytime. You can also email or message any of the members directly for specific questions if you prefer.

As I also mentioned in my previous post, being able to have direct communication with those who are successful in your field will give you the edge you need to become successful yourself. It helps you grow mentally and provides personal development needed to turn that “hobby” of a website into a real online business. I’m not saying you have to go spend $1,000 to form an LLC, but you have to realize that creating a successful online business takes a lot of hard work and persistence. If you treat it like a real business, it’ll reward you as such. That’s something that took me a long time to realize, which is why I’m still not where I want to be yet.

Affiliate Power Group is able to help anyone just starting out, struggling to make money or trying to take their affiliate marketing business to the next level.  You can give their affiliate marketing training a try for just $1. $1 will give you access to the entire membership site plus all the bonuses. This is a huge deal, and I know once you see the value you’ll receive, you’ll want to continue your membership.

The total cost of the membership is very undervalued. Although, I like to look at it as the mentors over-delivering, which is really what they do. Seriously, learn the business or take yours to the next level for just $1 today. You won’t be disappointed.

One of my recent making money with work from home opportunities articles discusses the importance of finding a mentor or group of mentors to help you make money online. Because let’s face it, most people, and maybe yourself, are just plain lost and don’t know where to start.

It’s similar to when Columbus went sailing the ocean blue to find the new world. He didn’t know where he was or how he was going to get to where he was going. All he had was a dream and passion for finding new land.

Affiliate/Internet marketing is no different. Sure, you’ll get there eventually (Afterall, Columbus did), but it will take you a heck of a lot longer if you don’t get help.

I’ve been there myself, and I would still be there if it wasn’t for finding the right people and following after them. Most people don’t ever make any money online because they don’t look for a mentor or don’t follow in the footsteps of those that are successful.

It’s not about reinventing the wheel. It’s about knowing what to do and implementing it. And, with a little ingenuity, maybe even finding a better way to do it.

That’s what making money with work from home opportunities is all about. The steps are right there in front of you. The problem is piecing them together and making them work seamlessly. I recommend getting a mentor or group of mentors if you’re serious about making money online and working from home.

December was a very busy month for offline commitments, not to mention Christmas celebration and New Year’s.

I was able to post a considerable amount, although not as much as I would like. I did however meet one of my goals, and that was to get my Alexa Rank down to 250,000 or less. The lowest reached was 245,449.

I was happy to reach my accomplishment, and I have my readers to thank for that. Thank you! 2009 was a great year, and I look forward to great things to come in 2010.

Do Legitimate Work From Home Jobs Exist?

That wraps up December and the 2009 year.

I wish everyone a very happy and successful 2010. Let’s make it the best year yet!

I’ll be quick and to the point…

I’m looking for people who are serious about making money online. If you’ve been wanting to earn some extra income in your spare time but just haven’t made the first step in turning your dream into reality, then listen up because today is your lucky day.

I realize money is tight with the current economy, and it’s hard to just dump money into starting a website in hopes of making it back. While the startup cost is relatively small, it’s a big step for anyone. I know, I’ve been there.

Sometimes you just have to take that step. And today I’m going to help ease the pain a bit.

I will pay your first month of web hosting and a year’s domain name registration. This equates to roughly $12, which is what I’m going to pay you.

What This Means for You

You will have to pay the initial cost for a domain name and web hosting (details below), and then I will reimburse you, and then some, for the cost for the first year of your domain, and the first month of your hosting.

Sound like a good deal? This will help ease the burden a little and give you a full month to get your website off the ground and hopefully making some money.

What You Need To Do

Step 1

Sign up for a web hosting account with HostGator. Those are my affiliate links. During the sign-up process, enter coupon code “wordpress” (without quotes) to get started for just 1 cent ($0.01) for the first month. It’s very important that you do this, otherwise you’ll be paying more than you have to.

Step 2

Register a domain name with NameCheap. Again, my affiliate link. The cost is around $10, depending on the additional options you choose.

Keep in mind that your domain name should describe what your website will be about. This website will be the starting block for your “business,” so take some time in choosing a good domain name. Don’t make this complicated, though.

If you have some money to spare, I do recommend grabbing a copy of the Nomad’s Guide To Make Money Online. It’s well worth it and will give you great insight on starting a website to make money.

Step 3

Email me your receipt of purchase from HostGator and NameCheap. Once I confirm that you have purchased both through my affiliate links, I will send you $12 through PayPal. Also send me your PayPal email address at this time as well so I know where to send your money.

I’m basically refunding the $10 and change you spent for your domain name and the $0.01 for hosting, so there is absolutely zero cost to you and zero risk. I want to make it as easy as possible for you to get started.

Important

I highly recommend clearing your internet cache and cookies before clicking on my links above. This will ensure I get credit when you purchase through them. If I can’t confirm that you ordered through my affiliate links, this offer is void and I will not refund you the $12.

Why?

It’s simple. I make a little commission when you purchase web hosting and your domain through my links. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough that I’m able to “pay it forward” and offer this deal for you.

Once everything is underway, I will setup your blog for you (if you wish) and teach you how to start marketing and making money with your new blog (you can find a lot of information on this blog already).

This is where the real value of my offer is. This is crucial to your success, and I’m going to help you get there.

It’s important that you take this offer seriously and start taking the steps to change your life. The most important step is the first one… and that is simply to TAKE ACTION.

Remember, because I’m paying you $12 into your PayPal account, you have absolutely nothing to lose. You can get started for free right now.

If you have any questions or comments please leave your thoughts in the comments section below or contact me directly.

I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your dreams for this year and many years to come!
