For great minds or dummies… ?

WHY DO MOST PEOPLE FAIL?

Most of the information you need to successfully start an
Internet
business is available, so why do most people still fail?

Here’s something very, very important… everything you need
to
make money online or offline is available to you right
now… the
problem is, “who do you trust?” and “what do you believe?”.

It’s scary to have to ‘commit’… you’re not sure if what
course of
action you decide to take will pay off or not.

You’re afraid to waste your time in activities that will not
bring
you closer to your financial and personal goals. You are
right to
be cautious… but don’t confuse being cautious with being
prudent.

Sometime the most prudent thing to do is to take action even
when you do not have all the facts…!

Just getting started is the best course of action. Pick a
target and
shoot! If you miss the target, you move on to the next one.

I guarantee you one thing: Doing nothing will for certain
get you
one thing: NOTHING.

Taking action toward your ‘what you want’ will always win…
even
if you start wrong, it’s better than sitting still. As you
move toward
something you create ‘course corrections’, refine your
strategy,
learn from your mistakes but YOU KEEP ON MOVING.

Most of the information in ebooks is OK… some of it is
pretty bad
advice.

But you know by now that you need more than advice… you
need a
‘model’ to follow and a plan if you’re going to be
successful online.

WHY MOST PEOPLE DON’T GET IT

In a world with almost infinite possibilities and infinite
options people
are more CONFUSED about ‘what to do’ than ever before.

The above is part of what I learned from a lessons series
that changed
me from being a loser to being a winner.

Since it’s free, why not look it over right now yourself at:

Choosing an HDTV television

Thursday 16 August 2007 @ 9:44 am

By Gregg Pennington | Published 09/15/2006 | Computers & Technology |

To take full advantage of the great number of HDTV stations you can get with your satellite system, you will want a television with a breathtaking picture and mind blowing sound. When shopping for a television today, you have many more options than just a few years ago. From several hundred dollars, to a price similar to that of a new Corvette, you can choose the television to fit your budget and lifestyle.

If you want to watch satellite programming you will need a tv that is at least HDTV ready. Your satellite service provider will supply you with an HDTV tuner. Even if you will not be watching much HDTV programming, there is still a huge benefit to watching a digital television. All HDTV and HDTV ready tv\’s contain upconversion circuitry that cleans up the picture with even non HDTV signals.

If you watch a lot of movies or dvd\’s, you might want to purchase a widescreen television. A widescreen tv has a 16:9 aspect ratio screen, as opposed to the traditional television screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. You can enjoy watching movies on a screen shaped like a movie theater screen, and view non digital programming in a side cropped view, or stretch the picture to varying degrees to fill the screen. All HDTV programming uses the 16:9 aspect ratio.

The least expensive option is the good old fashioned CRT (cathode ray tube) television. It has been around since 1927, and it is the least expensive option. It is built around a single picture tube, and provides excellent contrast and overall picture quality. A higher end picture tube television will actually give a smoother appearance of motion than a flat-panel tv. The primary drawbacks of tube tv\’s are their immense weight (compared to newer technology), and the considerable depth of the sets themselves, both severely limiting your installation choices. Also, the largest tube television available is 36\”, so if you need a larger picture, you might want to step up to flat-panel television.

LCD and Plasma screens are the two options available in flat-panel televisions. Both are incredibly thin and lightweight, and can be wall mounted if you choose to do so. An LCD (liquid crystal display) contains thousands of crystals sandwiched between two glass or plastic plates, which are acted upon by electrical current, creating images on the screen. A plasma screen consists of thousands of pixel cells filled with gases that excite phosphors, producing light, and thereby your picture.

The weight of an LCD and a plasma tv are comparable, with the LCD models being slightly lighter in the 40\” range. As the screen size approaches 60\”, the weight of the LCD overtakes that of the plasma screen. The display panel tends to last longer with the LCD than with the plasma models. LCD televisions are not vulnerable to burn-in, also known as image shadowing or ghosting, like plasma screens. Burn-in is essentially burned, or worn out pixels in a plasma screen that have been damaged over a period of time and retain color information from static images like network logos, etc… Plasma tv\’s tend to have more accurate color reproduction than LCD models, and are currently less expensive than a comparable LCD. While the largest LCD tv at this writing is 65\”, that is likely to change quickly as the technology evolves with the latest innovations in the computer monitor industry. The largest plasma screen television currently produced is the Panasonic TH-103PZ600U103\”, which boasts a massive 103\” screen, and is expected to carry a whopping retail price of about $70,000 when is hits US markets in late 2006.

Remember the old, bulky rear-projection televisions that were almost a yard deep and weighed nearly as much as a VW Bug? Todays digital big screen tv\’s take up much less space, and a 60\” television can weigh under 100 lbs. Digital big screens are capable of brightness that is unmatched by the older CRT televisions, and do not suffer burn-in like the plasma tv\’s. These digital big-screens also contains a consumer replaceable lamp that restores picture quality to its original brilliance. Prices for these sets are very reasonable, usually one half to two thirds the price of a similar sized plasma or LCD television. One disadvantage of the big screen tv\’s is still size; even with technological advancements, these models take more room for installation than the flat screen televisions, and are not practical for wall mounting. The ideal viewing angle is only achieved straight on, and in a seated position.

For a true movie theater experience at home, a front projection tv may be a good choice. This is a two piece system consisting of a projector and a screen. They offer picture sizes up to 300\”, and do not include any type of tv tuner, instead displaying signals from a satellite receiver or cable box. The best viewing experience with a front projection setup requires a fairly dark environment, and is definitely not for everyone. However, for cinema lovers, there is no better way to bring your favorite film to life. Pricing for good projectors starts at just under $1000, and screen prices vary according to size, with most models falling somewhere between $300 and $1500.

Whether you watch mainly sporting events, movies, or dvd\’s, a modern television can give new life to your favorite programming. As technology advances at an astonishing pace, prices for larger and more sophisticated television sets continue to come down. If you do some shopping online and find that you can\’t quite afford the tv that you want, save money for five to six months; no matter how much or how little you are able to save, chances are you will be able to afford the set you want as prices come down. Just don\’t blow the money you have saved - you might need to build a new room to house the larger set you will be buying in two years.

GuruSwipe Is Coming

Monday 13 August 2007 @ 9:34 am

I am launching a new website in September .

www.guruswipe.com

Imagine being able to watch straight over a name Gurus shoulder and take every clever thing that the Guru was doing online and copy it straight into your own playbook instantly.

About Eight months ago I stuck up conversation with an old friend of mine that I had worked alongside 12 years ago when we were both consultants for a large German company.

We had been great friends and it was only our busy lives and young families that had kept us from catching up more regularly.

My old mate invited me over for a beer and I was a little surprised to see a new Mercedes-benz R class in his driveway.

It became apparent very quickly that my friend was in the cash in a fairly serious way and as I asked some more questions I discovered that he had become an Internet Marketing Guru.A Guru? A Frickin Guru? A Guru Ok .

Truth is I thought that a Guru had a beard lived with Lamas and probably knew Steven Segal from his days as an martial arts master and practising monk.

But here was my 36 year old friend happily married with 4 young kids and living the affluent life of his dreams as what I now understand to be a internet marketing Guru, which means that he has mastered the art of making shit loads of money online and working from a palatial house and modern large home office.

Was I a Little Curious?

Hell Yes!!!!!

You see I knew that this same guy was an educated pin stripe wearing corporate sales manager who had been earning a large Six figure income by 30 years of age and that for him to even consider giving up that job had meant he had discovered something real special.

Whats in this for you?

I will cut to the chase.

A few weeks on I had naturally enough become a little obsessed with making money online and I was begging my old mate for the chance to pick his brain a little.

After some months had passed and I had learnt a little not a lot my friend could see that like many others online I was blowing my money on all the latest ebooks and not really catching up, but then he made me an offer.

My friend the guru after seeing I was committed to learning this incredible business offered to teach me this game step by step in nightly lessons at his home office.

After much Blood sweat and some tears after fighting with my wife for staying up till 3am each morning and ignoring her and the kids the result is going to be GuruSwipe.com.

The Guru that I am close personal friends with and now also a partner on this project with is very well known online and you will recognise his name.

When we launch GuruSwipe in early September 2007 the quality of the information and the detail of the content will insure it becomes one if not the most over subscribed offer online in 2007 we have absolutely no doubt of that.

How Sizzling Hot Is GuruSwipe Going To Be ?

You have the chance to register below as a V.I.P member which will mean you get updates about launch timing and also that you will get the opportunity to lock in an incredible pre-launch offer that will have your greedy little heads spinning.

If You Are Looking At The Form Above You Fill It In Now Because.

We are going to allow only 1000 subscribers to join

Wedding Band

Wednesday 8 August 2007 @ 11:47 am

Wedding Band

With all of the attention that a woman gets for her engagement and wedding ring, the man’s wedding band is often forgotten or not noticed. When it comes to planning a great wedding, it is hard to overestimate the importance of the right wedding band. You’ve decided to tie the knot and now you’ve got some wedding band shopping to do.

When shopping for the wedding band that represents the best value, it is important to check all these sources in order to make sure you get the best deal. So whether or not you decide on a traditional or cultural wedding band, keep in mind of the true importance of wedding band symbolization; that is the never-ending love that you will share with your spouse. If things seem to be getting a bit complicated you’ll remember that we started by saying that a couples’ choice of wedding band rings will often come down to the choice of engagement ring and, hopefully, we can now see just why this is.

In the majority of cases couples will choose to have matching wedding bands and the bride will wear her wedding and engagement rings together so that she will want a wedding band that matches here engagement ring. Never has their been a time in history when the design of wedding bands and engagement rings was so intricately tied to the individual who would wear it. • The Cons With wedding bands charging anywhere from $1500-$15,000, budget constraints can make hiring a band too expensive to consider.

There are many types of design wedding bands to choose from, such as braided wedding bands, hammered design bands, paisley bands, and other unique designs, such as a Celtic wedding band. If someone is looking for something with a little more of a design, but still wants a simpler band, I may even steer them towards a more subtle design, such as a hammered wedding band. Gold is still a very popular choice for a man’s wedding band, and it can easily be etched, engraved or given designer touches to make it unique, however it is also a soft metal and can be worn down easily.

The purer the gold, the softer the wedding band will be, which means it will not easily stand up to the roughness that can be placed on it. Hawaiian Wedding Band-With a Hawaiian wedding band, your spouse’s name is embossed on the ring, commonly engraved in Old English font. Finally, since your tungsten carbide wedding band ring is not indestructible, it makes sense to get a warranty, especially against breakage.

Symbolism of the wedding band After discussing the several possibilities of distinctive bands, it’s important to shift emphasis on the symbolism of wedding bands. Back to the varieties of gold wedding bands, there are many. Because of tungsten carbide’s extreme hardness, wedding bands made from this metal cannot be sized like gold, silver or platinum rings.

The 18th century produced a sparkling variety of betrothal and wedding rings. Some of the most beautiful and intricate rings ever created were those associated with the Jewish wedding ceremony during the Renaissance period.

Make Money Online - The Ultimate Traffic and Monetization Guide

Wednesday 8 August 2007 @ 3:05 am

Make money online. My mentor, Stephen Pierce, taught me that the of essence of Internet marketing and make money online is these:

  1. Traffic
  2. Monetization (make money)

This is a no brainer. After all you effort to drive traffic to your sites, you definitely want to make money, don’t you? I do :)
Hence it’s very essential to drive traffic to your sites and then monetize it!

Let’s start with traffic first. Traffic generation methods can be classified into two groups: free traffic and paid traffic,each with its own advantage and disadvantage.
If you’re just starting Internet marketing or you don’t have any operational cost, free traffic may be good for you because it’s free.
However you must know that free traffic is not really “free” because you do it in exchange of your time and effort.
Paid traffic is where you pay for your traffic and it can be pay-per-click, pay-per-post, pay-per-lead, or claffisied ads.

Top 10 Free Traffic Generation Strategies

  1. Stumbling using Stumble Upon
  2. Article marketing
  3. Blog posting and blog commenting
  4. Forum participation and forum signature
  5. YouTube and Google Video participation
  6. Social Bookmark
  7. Netscape’s stories and discussion participation
  8. MySpace Banner and MySpace Commenting
  9. Free classified ads
  10. Banner exchange programs

Top 5 Paid Traffic Generation Strategies

  1. Article submission service
  2. Google Adwords.
  3. Co-registration leads
  4. Text Link Ads
  5. Having affiliates promoting your products

You must have a destination where you drive your traffic to. It can be your own landing page, someone else’s landing page (if you’re his affiliate), or own your blog.
Your traffic destination usually depends on your monetization method. However I strongly suggest you to drive your traffic to your own landing page so that you can build your list and monetize it.
Remember that you can always monetize your list by recommending them related products.

Now let’s discuss how to make money online aka monetization :)

Top 3 Website Monetization Strategies

  1. Become a super affiliate
    This is great for starting Internet marketing where you don’t have your own product yet. Good product publishers usually provide you with their promotional tools such as banners, link ads, articles, and autoresponder messages. You can sign-up to be affiliates for free at:

    • ClickBank.com
    • PayDotCom.com
  2. Sell your web space for ads
    You can pursue this road if you’re a web publisher such as a blogger. Ads related to your sites’ content will appear and you’ll get paid if your readers click those ads. You can sell your web space for ads and make money online at:

    • Google AdSense.
    • Text Link Ads
    • ReviewMe
  3. Get paid to surf the web

I really hope this information is helpful for you and help you to be succesful. Feel free to share it with your friends, stumble it or digg it. I also really appreciate it if you leave your comments.

Thanks!
