Working As An Affiliate

Friday, December 29th, 2006

Working as an affiliate isn’t as easy as many gurus say because you need to really focus to learn new skills. The big problem is when you are at home it’s so easy to get distracted by other things.

If you are employed or getting paid to do something you will focus and work until the job is finished. When you are at home by your own computer with email and instant messages popping up or your wife/husband needs help with the kids. It is impossible to work with that many interruptions.

As long as you don′t make any money you can′t convince your wife/husband that you are working hard. :)

If your not sure what to do it’s easy to get stuck surfing around looking at sites with offers you can’t resist and time goes by and no money is coming in.

I remember when I bought my first resell rights to a couple of e-books. I spent hours just to change links and get the sales page online. When I did this I was distracted all the time by email, phone and family.

It’s impossible to make anything work if you get distracted all the time. If you are employed your boss would not allow this to happen you wouldn’t get anything done.

You have to dedicate some time and only focus on your new business. During this time you have to turn off everything that can distract you. If you have a family try to make a deal maybe you can get 1 hour every day when you can focus and concentrate on your business.

When the money start coming in I can guarantee it will be easy to get another hour.

How to Start Your Own Profitable Internet Business for Less than $15.00

Friday, December 29th, 2006

In this article you’ll see how you can start an online business for as little as $0.00 with a monthly cost of $0.00.

Furthermore you also have the option of designing and developing your own business website or alternatively not even bothering with setting up a site of your own.

However, please don’t forget that the success of your online business has little bearing on cost but rather on many other factors including the products and/or services that it promotes and how well it is managed and marketed.

(A) Setting up your own Website

Firstly, let’s examine the costs involved in getting your business up and running with your own website.

Domain Name & Web Hosting

Yahoo, for example, offers domain names at ridiculously low prices in the region of $2.99 and web hosting for less than $10.00 a month.

However by doing a search for domain names and hosting you’ll get an overwhelming amount of options to choose from.

Just be sure to choose a memorable domain name, preferably appropriately descriptive of your product or service, and a reliable web hosting company

Website

If you do not have Dreamweaver or Frontpage or a similar web design software package, the best option would be to download a free HTML Editor from the internet by doing a search for free HTML editor.

Furthermore if your web design skills are not very advanced, download one of the many web design tutorials that exist on the net, e.g. Killersites offer a decent design ‘do it yourself design’ tutorial.

Don’t forget there are masses of free website templates, some better than others, that you can download and customize for your own business, e.g. from Template Monster.

FTP Program

You will need one of these to be able to upload your web site files to your web host’s server so that your site is ‘live’ on the internet.

Once again, the news is good as you will be able to pick up one of these for free, e.g. FTP Commander Pro

Products and Services

If you don’t have your own product to sell there are many companies that you can sign up with for free as an affiliate to promote the many products they have to sell.

For instance Clickbank and Commission Junction are two popular ones that you can join for free. They both offer many products on behalf of their vendors that you can promote and sell for a commission from your website.

Alternatively you can target an individual organization’s product that fits with your website’s business theme.

Website Traffic

Register your site with the main search engines and directories, set up an RSS feed (also free with Feedburner).

I hope you enjoy writing because the best traffic generator of all is to write articles related to your business.

You then submit your articles to article directories like Ezine Articles, once again for free, and let them work at generating traffic and interest in the website through the link in your resource box at the bottom of your article.

(B) Without setting up your own Website

As I promised at the beginning of this article, it is totally possible to have an online business without really bothering with designing your own website.

Purchase a ready made Site

A typical site would be ready made to sell products and services all encoded with your affiliate tracking code to ensure you receive the commission for each sale.

CBmall is one such program that is also one of the top Clickbank sellers and can be purchased for $47.00

Blogging

For exactly $0.00 you can set up your very own blog at Blogger.

What’s more is that the domain name and hosting for your blog (at Blogger) will cost the princely sum of $0.00.

More good news is that your blog can be customized to your business’ theme and used to promote products and services just as you would on a ‘normal’ website.

You would also apply all the normal traffic generating techniques as outlined above in addition to submitting your blog’s feed (which blogger will generate for you) to feedreaders and so on.

Therefore, in conclusion you can see that whichever option you choose to start your own online business, that has every chance of success, the cost can range from as little as $0.00, (i.e. for free) to $47.00 for a ready made money pulling website.

Reasons Why Multiple Stream of Income Will Make You More Successful

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

One of my favorite things about being an internet entrepreneur is that I can literally wake up in the morning with an idea for a new product and have it become a reality by the afternoon. Or I can find new ways to promote an existing product. Or I can join a new affiliate program. Every time I repeat this process, I create a new stream of income to add to my existing revenue base.
The reality is that prosperity and security do not just come from following one area of professional expertise but from using all of our gifts and talents fully. The whole idea of multiple income streams is a reflection of the fact that people who have any level of self-awareness realize that they have multiple talents.

If you have multiple streams of income, the loss of one income stream will not devastate you the way losing your only stream would. If you rely on only one source of income, and that single income source goes away you’re left broke and desperate. This is why every successful internet entrepreneur I know has multiple streams of income.

Once you become self-employed the next step is to consider all your options like, writing a book, managing property, becoming a public speaker, consulting, coaching, being a tour guide and go on and do other things too.

The biggest advantages of running a multiple revenue stream business are:

· 1. A continuity of cash flow that is not present in a single source business.

· 2. It attracts a wider variety of people and opportunities to you that wouldn’t otherwise have appeared.

· 3. When you′re living with passion everything you do is done well, this isn’t just good for you and your self-esteem it’s terrific for your clients too.

· 4. Following your own calling is the most responsible thing you can do.

· 5. Greater peace of mind and security.

That exactly why I encourage my readers, newsletter subscribers and e-business clients to establish multiple streams of income, which is easy to do online. However, there is not one but innumerable opportunity for those involved in e-commerce to make money on the web. Some of these are listed below:

[1] Selling Info Products. Your company’s core competency could be of real help to select people across the globe. You can transform this into an information product in the form of e-book or ezine, which will guide others in a step-by-step manner. Either you can charge for your information or better still, create a database using information about those who wish to download your product for free. This database can fetch you a decent amount.

[2] Become an affiliate marketer. This is one of my favorite ways to create multiple streams of income because there are hundreds (if not thousands) of affiliate programs that you can sign on with and begin making money immediately. As an affiliate marketer, you market a company’s product or service, and when you send them a customer or make a sale, you’re paid a commission.
You can sign on with as many affiliate programs as you like, and each one has the potential of creating another stream of income for you. Many internet entrepreneurs have become millionaires without ever having a product of their own. They did it by promoting affiliate programs.

[3] Selling services. The best part of Internet is the ability to reach out to millions across the world. If you are a service provider, it could be possible for you to provide this service to someone in the different time zone. For instance, a copywriting studio or a designing studio can work online. There are various sites, which offer such opportunities.

[4] Market your services online. Are you a computer programmer, a writer or editor, or a graphic artist or website designer? If so, you can market your services to customers around the world, and it doesn’t cost you a dime.

These are just a few ways to create multiple streams of income. There are hundreds of other ways to make money online. No matter which ones you pursue, just remember, the more streams of income you have, the bigger your money lake becomes.

Earn Cash With Online Surveys

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Surveys present a golden opportunity for everyone – skilled or unskilled – to earn decent money. The big multinational companies are doling out good dollars just for your opinion on their product. Based, mostly, in developed countries like the US, Germany, UK, etc., these companies have huge investments all over the world. To intelligently invest in the markets, such MNCs are always on a lookout for demographic people to assess the market for their product. Before launching in the market, the product undergoes a viability test to analyze the probability of its success in newer markets.

This test is based on the surveys conducted on focused group of people. It is this group of people that stand to earn cash with online surveys from the companies. Usually, $5-$100 is given out just to answer simple MCQs with opinion-based answers. You’ll hardly need about 30-45 minutes on an average to finish the survey questionnaires. Depending on the length of questionnaire, the payment per survey varies.

Rest assured, you will earn cash with online surveys provided you play the game intelligently. You must learn how to avoid traps set up by the trickster survey websites. Before joining any survey website, you should be diligent enough to perform a market research regarding the safety of your personal information on the website. You must keep on reminding yourself that to earn cash with online surveys is not your only motive. The aim is to earn cash safely with online surveys.

Once you are through with your initial investigation about the survey websites, it’s time to join them. For maximum earnings, try out multiple sign-ups with several websites. Remember more sign-ups mean you have more sources to earn cash with online surveys. This is vital because mostly, every website has an undeclared cap on the maximum payouts per month per member. Of course, you should try out one website in the initial stages. Only when you feel comfortable at the working of these survey websites, should you go for multiple sign-ups.

My name is Dave and I am a freelance writer and I absolutely love the versatility of the internet. I am one of the managers of the site SurveysNeeded.com SurveysNeeded.com so I spend a lot of time helping the customers with questions over there and writing articles for them to help people get involved with the Surveys Needed members area.

Three Secrets to Mega-Success (Part 1 of 3)

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

I′ll be the first to admit it…

I’m not a genius. My SAT scores weren’t the highest. I didn’t have a perfect 4.0 GPA in college (but I was pretty close). And I don’t even have a formal “business degree.”

So - how the heck did I graduate at the top of my class, start my first (profitable!) business at 14, go on to become successful in MLM, work and perform at venues like the Kennedy Center and Signature Theatre and even start my own marketing company serving MLMers?

Glad you asked. ;)

I’ve finally decided to let you in on my secrets.

You see, for years my friends and family always called me “lucky″. But the kicker is - I don′t believe in luck.

I think it was Earl Nightingale who said “luck is when opportunity meets preparation”, right? So instead of calling someone “lucky” - we should just say they’ve been prepared to spot opportunities.

How? By having the right mindset.

Let me explain…

Recently, I was asked to speak for a group of hand-picked entrepreneurs in a special apprenticeship program (some of them paying up to $7,000.00 to be part of the year-long home business program).

And in preparing for that talk, I was forced to look at my daily success activities that allow me to play games, travel and keep the alarm clock turned off.

Now, fortunately for you - you don’t have to pay $7,000.00 to hear what I came up with. You’re going to get my top 3 “secrets” for FREE right here in “Instant MLM Profit Secrets”!

(Note: I sure as heck didn’t invent any of these secrets, but instead picked them up from MY mentors over the years. Just because they may seem simple, don’t mistake the fatal mistake of discounting their power. Use them and profit from them.)

SUCCESS SECRET #1: One Pro-Active Thing A Day

I learned from one of my mentors, Dan Kennedy, to always do one pro-active thing a day. Every single day of the year. And when I follow that advice - it always has a great impact on my sales and bottom line.

You know - it doesn’t even matter if you have a 9-5 job or work full-time from home. EVERY person can do one pro-active thing a day.

I know, I know. This may sound TOO easy to do…but that makes it just as easy not to do.

Take this advice to heart. Not a day goes by (okay, maybe one or two do!) where I′m not doing something to bring in new customers and clients for my businesses. Whether it’s doing a sit-down presentation or finding a new affiliate - it doesn’t matter.

Like clockwork. Every single day.

But BEWARE! The danger here is to SKIP it one day and tell yourself you’ll double up on the next day. Don’t do it! The temptation is great, I know - but you’re programming your mind for procrastination and indecision.

Instead, get up each morning and give yourself ONE important activity to do for that day for your business. It could be calling a prospect, finding a new affiliate, one 3-way call. Almost anything. Don’t let yourself go to bed until you’ve done it.

And what’s the end result?

You’ll program your mind for action and success. That’s what makes this so powerful! Even if you’re having a “bad” day, you’ve still reached your one goal and had a win by the time you go to bed. Believe me, your subconscious is taking note!

Do this for just 30 days and you’ll be amazed how you feel and the results you can accomplish.

—– Side Bar: Want to be super-successful? Include READING and LISTENING as part of your daily activities. Every single day read 10 pages of a good book and listen to 15 minutes of a tape or CD. (It’s the closest you can come to barely doing any real work and still improving yourself.)

It was Michael Clouse who taught me to stick a CD player in my bathroom on top of my toilet. And I’ll tell you - it’s one of the greatest self-improvement tips I’ve picked up! Every day when showering and getting dressed, all you’ll have to do is push “play” and better yourself. Doesn’t get much easier than that. —–

I know I just gave you a potpourri of things to think about, so here’s how you can immediately apply this to YOUR daily routine…

1) Buy a stack of 3×5 cards. In the morning, write down your ONE goal for the day. Carry it around with you. And don’t go to bed until it’s done.

2) READ each day. 10 pages. Or one chapter. Or 30 minutes. It doesn’t matter the amount as long as you’re consistent and regular. (And when I said read - it’s not the tabloids or the negative news. It’s something that improves your skills and expands your thinking!)

3) Buy yourself a cheap boom-box for your bathroom. Stick it on the toilet. And listen to a positive tape or CD each day. Again, it’s the consistent action that will get you the results.

And there you have it - the first of my three success secrets that’ll give you “magic” results.

Now, I promise you, there are people who are reading this saying “oh yeah, that, I’ve heard that before” but they won’t do a damn thing with the information….and most likely they are the same people NOT achieving the mega-success.

Don’t be one of them.

Try these quick and easy activities until I send you Success Secret #2 and see how you feel!

Your business (and bank account) will thank you!

Tax Advantages In A Home Business

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Every year, several thousand people develop an interest in “going into business.” Many of these people have an idea, a product or a service they hope to promote into an in come producing business which they can operate from their own homes.

If you are one of these people, here are some practical thoughts to consider before hanging out the “Open-for-Business” sign.

In areas zoned “Residential Only,” your proposed business could be illegal. In many areas, zoning restrictions rule out home businesses involving the coming and going of many customers, clients or employees. Many businesses that sell or even store any thing for sale on the premises also fall into this category.

Be sure to check with your local zoning office to see how the ordinances in your particular area may affect your business plans. You may need a special permit to operate your business from your home; and you may find that making small changes in your plan will put you into the position of meeting zoning standards.

Many communities grant home occupation permits for businesses that involve typing, sewing and teaching, but turn thumbs down on requests from photographers, interior decorators and home-improve ment businesses to be run from the home. And often, even if you are permitted to use your home for a given business, there will be restrictions that you may need to take into consideration. By all means, work with your zoning people, and save yourself time, trouble and dollars.

One of the requirements imposed might be off-street parking for your customers or patrons. And, signs are generally forbidden in residential districts. If you teach, there is almost always a limit on the number of students you may have at any one time.

Obtaining zoning approval for your business, then, could be as simple as filling out an application, or it could involve a public hearing. The important points the zoning officials will consider will center around how your business will affect the neighborhood.

Will it increase the traffic noticeably on your street? Will there be a substantial in crease in noise? And how will your neighbors feel about this business alongside their homes?

To repeat, check into the zoning restrictions, and then check again to determine if you will need a city license. If you’re selling something, you may need a vendor’s license, and be required to collect sales taxes on your transactions. The sales tax requirement would result in the need for careful record keeping.

Licensing can be an involved process, and depending upon the type of business, it could even involve the inspection of your home to determine if it meets with local health and building and fire codes. Should this be the case, you will need t o bring your facilities up to the local standards. Usually this will involve some simple repairs or adjustments that you can either do personally, or hire out to a handyman at a nominal cost.

Still more items to consider: Will your homeowner’s insurance cover the property and liability involved in your new business? This must definitely be resolved, so be sure to talk it over with your insurance agent.

Tax deductions, which were once one of the beauties of engaging in a home business, are not what they once were. To be eligible for business related deductions today, you must use that part of your home claimed exclusively and regularly as either the principal location of your business, or the place reserved to meet patients, clients or customers.

An interesting case in point: If you use your den or a spare bedroom as the principal place of business, working there from 8:00 to 5:00 every day, but permit your children to watch TV in that room during the evening hours, the IRS dictates that you cannot claim a deduction for that room as your office or place of business.

There are, however, a couple of exceptions we will note to the “exclusive use” rule. One is the storage of inventory in your home, where your home is the location of your trade or business, and approval for your business, then, could be as sour trade or business is the selling of products at retail or wholesale. According to the IRS, such storage space must be used on a regular basis, and be a separately identifiable space.

Another exception applies to day care services that are provided for children, the elderly, or physically or mentally handicapped. This exception applies only if the owner of the facility complies with the state laws for licensing.

To be eligible for business deductions, your business must be an activity under taken with the intent of making a profit. It’s presumed you meet this requirement if your business makes a profit in any two years of a five-year period.

Once you are this far along, you can deduct business expenses such as supplies, subscriptions to professional journals, and an allowance for the business use of your car or truck. You can also claim deductions for home related business expenses such as utilities, and in some cases, even a new paint job for your home.

The IRS is going to treat the part of your home you use for business as though it were a separate piece of property. This means that you’ll have to keep good records and take care not to mix business and personal matters. No specific method of record keeping is required, but your records must clearly justify any deductions you claim.

You can begin by calculating what percentage of the house is used for business, either by number of rooms or by area in square footage. Thus, if you use one of five rooms for your business, the business portion is 20 percent. If you run you r business out of a room that’s 10 by 12 feet, and the total area of your home is 1,200 square feet, the business-space factor is 10 percent.

An extra computation is required if your business is a home day care center. This is one of the exempted activities in which the exclusive use rule doesn’t apply. Check with your tax preparer and the IRS for an exact determination.

If you’re a renter, you can deduct the part of your rent which is attributable to the business share of your house or apartment. Homeowners can take a deduction based on the depreciation of the business portion of their house.

There is a limit to the amount you can deduct. This is the amount equal to the gross income generated by the business, minus those home expenses you could deduct even if you weren′t operating a business from your home. As an example, real estate taxes and mortgage interest are deductible regardless of any business activity in your home, so you must subtract from your business′ gross income the percentage that’s allocable to the business portion of your home. You thus arrive at the maximum amount for home-related business deductions.

If you are self-employed, you claim your business deductions on Schedule C, Profit (or Loss) for Business or Profession. The IRS emphasizes that claiming business-at-home deductions does not automatically trigger an audit of your tax return. Even so, it is always wise to keep meticulously within the proper guidelines, and of course keep detailed records if you claim business related expenses when you are working out of your home. You should discuss this aspect of your operation with your tax preparer or a person qualified in the field of small business tax requirements.

If your business earnings aren’t subject to withholding tax, and your estimated federal taxes are $100 or more, you’ll probably be filing a Declaration of Estimated Tax, Form 1040-ES. To complete this form, you will have to estimate your income for the coming year and also make a computation of the income tax and self-employment tax you will owe. The self-employment taxes pay for Social Security coverage.

If you have a salaried job covered by Social Security, the self-employment tax applies only to the amount of your home business income that, when added to your salary, reaches the current ceiling. When you file your Form 1040-ES, which is due April 15, you must make the first of four equal installment payments on your estimated tax bill.

Another good way to trim your taxes is by setting up a Keogh plan or an Individual Retirement Account. With either of these, you can shelter some of your home business income from taxes by investing it for your retirement.

Is a Home Business Right For You?

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

Every morning as people wake up and make the commute to work, many dream of the day when they will finally work for themselves. Every time the boss lets someone know that they must give up their weekend plans for the good of the company, people contemplate the benefits of being the owner of their own business.

Are you one of these people?

If you are, it is important to ask yourself some very important questions before you make the uncertain leap into self-employment.

Many dream of the benefits of home business ownership, but few take into account the sacrifices that must be made to bring the dream to fruition. Please don′t make this mistake yourself.

You must approach home business ownership with your eyes wide open. Ask yourself the important questions, and more importantly, answer your own questions openly and honestly.

AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION

Are you the type of person who relishes every chance to gather around the water cooler for social interaction?

If so, then home business ownership may not be the right decision for you.

Instead, if you feel that you can be quite content sitting alone at your desk; speaking only to clients and really minding your own home business, then you might have what it takes to succeed as a home business entrepreneur.

If you feel at ease with your own company and don’t need a dozen coworkers milling around your desk, then you, too, could savor the freedoms that will allow you and your family, to live the lifestyle you know you want and deserve.

THE KEY TO HOME BUSINESS SUCCESS

Self-motivation is the key to success when you start a home-based business. You need to possess the ability to push yourself ahead. Your drive and determination will be reinforced with every new sale.

The level of success that you will achieve greatly depends on the time and effort you are willing to plow into your new home business. Your organization, planning and marketing skills, will all be put into practice when you embark on your liberating journey from employee, to being your own boss. In fact, you will be the wearer of many hats and gain a wealth of business experience along the way, when you finally make that commitment to work at home.

YOUR SUCCESS RESTS ENTIRELY UPON YOUR OWN SHOULDERS

You will now be the boss. Are you truly able to work independently? Do you have the drive; the tenacity, to persevere with your home based business? Will you be able to invest the necessary time to nurture it, to watch it grow and see it through, from germination to full, glorious bloom? When you’re the boss, you are responsible for the success of your home business, from A to Z, from disappointments to victory.

When you work at home, it will empower you to achieve many things you were unable to do when you were stuck working for that tyrant boss. Remember him? He’s the guy that wouldn’t let you take time off when your baby was sick…the same guy that called you in to work on Thanksgiving Day.

A home business means that you can take good care of your family and make money from home, simultaneously. You will have the best of both worlds! Just think–no more dirty laundry piling up–you can do it while you work. No more scurrying around at the last minute searching for a babysitter either. And no more worrying about getting fired; you’ll be the boss!

IN CONCLUSION…

Stay positive and focused on your home based business, even if, when sales aren’t up to par, you get occasional negative remarks or derogatory comments from people with stuffy, dead-end jobs. Ignore their cutting words and bear in mind that success is the best revenge! Keep your admirable, positive attitude at the forefront and show them what you’re made of!

SFTP or Standard FTP is an advanced communication protocol that comes with features of Secure Shell.

Why Freelancing is the Best Home Based Business for You

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

If you are like most people these days, work from home businesses are something that you have probably thought of doing at sometime. You may have even mentioned it in passing that having your own home business career would be great.

The best home based businesses can give you the freedom that traditional jobs can not. You can set your own hours, be your own boss, start to earn money, and never leave the comforts of your home, if you don’t want to. Freelancing can afford you these luxuries. If you’re not sure what Freelancing is, let me give you a little information about Freelancers.

As a Freelancer you are able to work from your home, using your computer, doing work anywhere in the world. Everyone has the skills to be a Freelancer. If you have ever worked for a company and have done anything from typing a letter to creating a new data base, then you can use those skills as a Freelancer. Even if you have never worked before you can always learn how to do anything that interests you. You can learn to build a website, do graphics or writing.

With the internet at your finger tips you can find almost anything that you want. Why not use it to your advantage? There are many sites that offer training for as little as $40 or $50 dollars, compared to what you could earn doing Freelance work, this is nothing. And learning something new will increase your credibility in the Freelance business. All of this can be done from your own home based business, and you can start earning money in as little as 2 weeks.

A lot of companies these days are relying on outside sources to complete special projects. Companies and individuals don’t always have the resources to accomplish these projects, so they look to outsource their work. This is where the Freelancer comes into play. (Freelancers are also known as a contractor.) Again with the internet and your own home based business you can find sites that give you the opportunity to find these companies or individuals looking for just the right person for the job.

You might be thinking now that this sounds too easy, but it really is this simple. Anyone anywhere in the world has the opportunity to begin a home business career. Just as many have stated before that you don’t have to have a college degree to start your own business. Thousands of individuals have started to earn money by using the internet to Freelance.

If you are still not sure that this is one of the best home based businesses for you, ask yourself these few questions.

Are you tired of the corporate world?

Have you always wanted to be able to stay at home and still earn money?

Do you want to tell your friends and family proudly, that you have started you own home business career?

Would you like to take a family vacation, at your convenience?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then you should consider becoming a Freelancer and start to earn money, from your own home. And make this one of the best home based businesses for you. Don’t wait anymore, start doing what you want to do, Freelancing.

Your Mind - The Last Frontier

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

The last frontier is not out in the vastness of outer space – the last frontier is within your Inner space – and it involves the power of the Mind!

We know now about the Law of Attraction, which states: “That which is like itself, is drawn.” And said another way - “like attracts like”. This law is the primal law of creation. It is how everything came from the invisible and manifested into the physical visible world. And it is your mind that creates the thoughts and desires that summon the power of creation through the Law of Attraction.

When your mind focuses on something that you really want or desire, your mind sends a vibrationary energy into the Universe, which is immediately picked up by the Law of Attraction, and is responded to. This Law of Attraction immediately begins changing and altering conditions in the world to bring about what you want. It brings the people, events and materials to manifest what your mind focussed on when it sent its request to the Universe.

This is important when creating a business. If you apply this law correctly you achieve extraordinary success with your business. But being in ignorance of this law, if you apply this law in a wrong way, your business is likely to fail. And this is a prime cause of why most new businesses fail within the first 18 months in operation.

My first two businesses failed because I knew nothing of the Law of Attraction. In hindsight, I now know that in my ignorance of this law I was inadvertently using it by default and was attracting mainly bad outcomes. It was no wonder those businesses did not explode with paying customers. But there was a real reason behind all this!

The main reason was – which I later discovered – that the Law of Attraction does not recognise certain words that contain negative meaning, such as, don’t – can’t – do not – no and not. The Law of Attraction does not recognise these words and only focuses on the feeling and emotion of what your thought implies, such as instead of:

‘I don’t want my business to fail.’ The Universe reads this as: ‘I want my business to fail’, and that is what you get, a failed business.

‘I don’t want to be short of money all the time.’ The Universe sees this, as ‘I want to be short of money all the time.’ And that is what you get.

‘I don’t want to lose my home.’ The Universe reads this, as
‘I want to lose my home.’ And that is what happens.

So it is important to focus only on positive thoughts such as: ‘I want my business to become a huge success and have it attract a continual stream of paying customers.’

If you are interested to learn more about making a business into a huge success check out this site: www.checkjohn.com and look for the Blog link to locate the Law of Attraction article.

In addition, you can learn the whole story about the Law of Attraction by purchasing a book titled ‘The Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne. It is available through most large bookstores and you will discover how to use the Law of Attraction. If your bookshop does not have it go to: www.thesecret.tv

This knowledge has only generally become known in the last few years. I now realise I wasted many years of my life because I didn’t know about the most important law in the Universe. I now consider, one of the most important things for humankind to do is teach their children about this law and how to use it. Society is so negative these days that a child grows up using the Law of Attraction by default in a negative way. So it is vitally important that older children are taught this knowledge as soon as they are old enough to assimilate it. In the book titled ‘The Secret’ it explains how children readily understand how to use the law and achieve real success at school and then go on to create a life of real opportunity in the world.

By using this law I created my Internet business: www.checkjohn.com and by using this site anyone can create a life of real financial success.
