Greetings and thank you for being an optin subscriber. 

As the week and summer zips along I find it more important to be able to work at my own designated time than some boss who puts me in a cubicle and leaves me for 8 - 12 hours. The weather is warm and inviting and I can take my sun break when I wish. Love this working for myself, how about you? Have you made that commitment to yourself yet? If not think about it and work toward it... Our coaches have the information to help you make that break!

Do what you must to be successful as long as it's honest, something you enjoy and doesn't hurt anyone.

Affiliate Programs

Many of those new to the Internet are retired, and simply want to keep in touch by email with friends or family. Others however, are living on a fixed income, and are easy prey if promised a second source of earnings.

Eventually, most find their comfort level and sally forth. They are quickly  found by those wishing to separate them from their hard earned money. Suddenly, their email increases with offers for everything imaginable under the sun. Getting all this information, seems to trigger a synapse, and many view the web as their road to riches, and their greed overpowers their common sense.

In their travels about the web, they find what they think is a great program. They plop down a few bucks and start their journey into the world of online entrepreneurialism.

Three or four months go by, and they haven't done anything except fill the coffers of their sponsors. Wondering how those experts can claim five figure monthly incomes from their Internet businesses, while they aren't earning squat, they cast about looking for something else.

What they don't realize is that they can't be playing golf or lying on the couch "guzzling beer all day,? expecting the world to beat a path to their door. As with all businesses, online or off, it takes more than a casual approach to truly make a business work.

Many beginning opportunity seekers are misled by the hoopla and marketing pitches.  If anyone is trying to start a business on the Internet, they must approach it as a real business.

The number one priority is to get your own web site, and you should avoid the free ones offered by your ISP. The price of web space today is extremely affordable, and you can get a full blown site, including the registration of your own domain name for about $4 a month. There are also tools available to help put together your own site, and with a little experimentation, you can have your site up and running quickly.

Build your web site based on your interests, and over the long term it will be much more successful. It should be filled with useful information and resources. Look for others in your field to work with you in exchange for exposure. Keep the content constantly updated, which will encourage repeat visits.

Build a mailing list by having your guests register at the site. This mailing list is a valuable marketing tool, but your efforts here should be low key. It could take the form of a newsletter geared toward your target market, and include a column that you write - you can have your ad in the newsletter, but don't make it a thinly disguised pitch for your product or service. Give good solid information, which will be useful to your readers.

If you are going to be involved with an Affiliate Program, be careful with your selection. Look for programs that pay well, and have a solid reputation. Most importantly, pick one that you believe in, and one that you use their products or services yourself.

Don't use their affiliate links as your primary web presence. Your web site will never get listed in search engine directories, such as Google. While the sites supplied by the affiliate program are well designed, many are basically "Smoke and Mirrors," aimed at making their affiliates feel they have joined the "big time".

The prospects of getting visitors to it are slim, unless it is a direct result of your marketing efforts. With your own site however, and with a strong informational approach, you stand a good chance of getting a decent ranking with the search engines. Once at your site, you can have a link taking them to your affiliate site.

A well thought out approach will help insulate you from those who are not reputable. It will also provide what is necessary for achieving long term success utilizing affiliate programs.

DECIDING HOW TO LIVE

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"

He now works for a software company, writing error messages.

Those beautiful dreams we have for the rest of our lives too often don't materialize. And, again too often, we look back dissatisfied with the direction we took or the place we finally reached.

Frederick Buechner, in his book THE HUNGERING DARK (New York: Seabury Press, 1968), talks about looking back at high school yearbooks. He plays a sad game, remembering what all his classmates hoped and dreamed of becoming. "In my class, as in any class, at any school," he says, "there were students who had a real flair, a real talent, for something. Maybe it was for writing or acting or sports. Maybe it was an interest and a joy in working with people. Sometimes it was just their capacity for being so alive that made you more alive to be with them. Yet now, a good many years later, I have the feeling that more than just a few of them are spending their lives at work in which none of these gifts is being used. This is the sadness of the game .."

Matt Lamb could have been one of those people. Until 1987, Matt owned and ran his own funeral home in Chicago. But that year, a doctor told Matt that he had a fatal disease. So he closed the funeral home and pursued his true passion, painting.

Soon, Matt's art drew national attention. He became quite successful. Only after Matt had found success in his dream career did doctors discover that they had misdiagnosed him. He wasn't going to die after all.

A misdiagnosis may have saved him from a life of meaninglessness. Not that owning one's own small business is in any way unworthy, but it simply was not Matt's true passion. In his heart, he wanted to paint, and he would never be truly happy until he pursued that dream, wherever it finally led him.

What does it take to move us to follow our passions? Must we face a crisis before we step off the safe, known path onto the unknown trail of adventure we've dreamed of following all our lives?

Singer Joan Baez reminds us: "You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live." That decision is too important to put off another day.
