Had a great weekend away and on the Saturday went to Harry Potter World in Luton just outside London. If you ever get the chance to go it`s not to be missed but you need to book first as you have allotted time slots for your visit. It`s actually in the Warner Brothers studios where all the films were made and the main characters practically lived through most of their childhood, even being schooled there. You get to sit in the great hall and imagine all the cast sat in the exact same seats you are. The uniforms and clothing actually worn by the cast are right there in front of you. My daughter is an avid fan and couldn`t believe the sets were the actual ones used in the film. You could sit in Arthur Weasley`s flying ford anglia car and by the magic of special effects take away photos of you flying in it. Or get on the tripple decker bus, walk up to Harrys house that`s not a model but really built in bricks and mortar. Then take a stroll up Diagon Alley and visit Ollivanders wand shop. One of the highlights of the tour being a breath taking huge scale model of Hogwarts used for all the outdoor shots. Then a chance to buy various Harry Potter merchandise from the extensive gift shop. It really was an amazing day for all the family and we are already talking about a revisit at some point in the future.

Ever thought of making money with Fiverr.com?

Just a short post to help you if you are struggling to get started with a project.

We all know how frustrating it is to have an unfulfilled ambition that we can never find the motivation to complete or even start.

Whether it’s writing a book, starting a blog, or simply beginning a new business project – taking the first step is half the battle.

Its all so easy to let life get in the way and find excuses to never get started.

Here is a short video only 4 minutes long, to show you an easy way to take that first step and then easily follow it through to achieve your goals.

In this video, Chris introduces you to a short children’s story that can make a big difference to helping you to put your doubts and fears to one side.

Watch the video below to discover how you can find the motivation to get started right away:

Hi,

if you are hopeless at typing like me you may be interested to know that if you’ve got a recent-ish Windows computer (anything from XP onwards) then it’s got a speech to text program built-in.

So there`s no need to splash out on expensive software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking or similar. Using this will help you write articles and other content lots and lots quicker than even the fastest typist.

Microsoft almost seem to go out of their way to *not* tell you
this exists for some reason. You can even control your computer with voice commands too.

To access this fabulous program just search your Windows help for “speech recognition” and it will show up. Even if you have to dig around for it.

Then spend a few minutes training it – at the least, go through
the first exercise but ideally both – it seems to repeat after
that or maybe I was getting bored.

Then try it out.

The first few times, it will probably be slower than even a
hunt-and-peck typist.

But keep with it and you will be writing content in half the
time it currently takes you, maybe even ten times faster if
you can only type with one finger like me.. LOL..

To your continued success,

Mike

Starting Point Weekly

Time Management

—————————————————————-

If you are serious about your business and you ought to be, you need to manage your time better. If you have a full time job I know it`s hard to get motivated after a hard day at work, you just want to crash down on the sofa and watch tv and relax, not spend time on your computer working. Well this is what separates the men from the boys so to speak.

Unless you make a commitment to change your life and stick to it nothing will ever change, think of it this way, the work you do today is to make sure you don`t have to work tomorrow. You can still live your life and build your business as well, here are a few tips to help you manage your time better.

1) Try to find a spare room if you have one or at least a quiet corner that is free from distraction to work in.

2) Set yourself specific hours to work in. If you only work when you think you have the time you will always find some reason why you are too busy, but by setting say one or two hours per evening and sticking to it you will get far more work done.

3) Focus on one task at a time and follow it through to completion. Jumping from one task to another without finishing any is very counter- productive as you keep having to catch up with where you were up to on each task before you can get started again.

Thought For Today
—————————————————————-

Homer Simpson has a saying: ‘If a thing’s hard to do then it probably isn’t worth doing.’

If you don’t know who Homer is, then all I can say is that whatever he says, you should do the complete opposite.

Yet, those silly words of his are so often the real meaning behind our actions. We try, fail and give up.

Why have we grown up to be that way? Kids don’t have that defeatist attitude. Kids fail to swim for months before they manage to say afloat. Kids often even hurt themselves when they fail to ride their bike the first or second or third time. But they don’t say, ‘It’s too hard so I’ll give up.’

Kids WANT to succeed and they know deep down that they WILL if they keep on trying to do the hard things long enough.

How many of us adults could sit a math exam? It would be MUCH too hard, right?

But thousands of kids do it all the time. And most of them succeed!

There are all kinds of psycho-babble reasons why we learn to expect failure as we grow up, but none of them really count for anything.

I believe 110% that we can unlearn that stupid self- defeating belief. All it takes is a little bravery.

Have a go.

It doesn’t matter if you fall off your bike or sink to the bottom of the pool. Look around you – other people are succeeding, so you know it CAN be done.

All you have to do is keep on trying and pretty soon it won’t be hard anymore. And it WILL be worth doing.

What a lovely truth that is.

Whenever we open our eyes to new ideas, our world is reborn.

There is no upper limit on learning, no time when education becomes pointless, no moment in our lives when we can’t strive to be better.

All we have to do is open our eyes and watch the sun come up.

This Week’s Quick Tip
—————————————————————-

Call someone up just to say hello.

Business is far too calculated these days. If you phone someone – and don’t have an ulterior motive – you will be remembered. And in a good way.

We all like to be the center of attention, however cynical the world has made us. An occasional ‘hello, how are you’ will do wonders for your reputation. Try it. It is fun, too.

I hope you have really made use of all my free training as it did take some time to set up. If you have not managed to keep up don`t worry it`s not a race and the training videos are not going anywhere.

If you have not got started yet there has never been a better time and you should ask yourself what am I waiting for and when will it be the right time.

Do yourself a favor and don`t keep buying everything that lands in your inbox and never getting started.

No matter what the gurus say there is no such thing as instant success, some work and commitment is always required to make anything work or everyone would be doing it.

Keep a look out for my weekly newsletter and emails and from time to time I will create more video training.

If you have any questions just email me at the address at the end of this newsletter, good luck and get started.

If you are interested in avoiding all the start-up errors and want a short cut to my training, there is a comprehensive step by step plan to take you from where you are now to where you want to be with your own online business much quicker than my training will allow.

Do you want to learn more, if so who do you listen to?
Well who you listen to is someone who is actually doing it, not just talking about it.

Someone who has been making money consistently online for over 10 years.

Someone who has created hundreds of products and made millions of dollars, two of the internet good guys.

I have been mentored and worked personally with these two guys and can tell you they know what they are talking about.

They have created a simple step by step blueprint you can copy right now to create your own work from home internet business in super quick time.

It`s ideal for newcomers, and the more experienced, to help you build your profitable home business. It helps you get to where you want to be, in an easy to follow step by step blueprint, your guide through the internet jungle if you will.

• Here are just a few things you will learn:
• How to start with and from nothing.
• How to grow a mailing list starting from scratch, zero, no subscribers.
• How to generate sales without any big name guru friends.
• How to create your own products without writing a single word.
• How to set everything up even if you’re not a technical ‘whiz kid’.
• How to advertise and market your business without a massive budget and in most cases WITHOUT spending any money.
• How to overcome the new persons barriers to wealth.
• How to make money online even if you haven’t made a penny so far.

What you need to realize is that all internet marketing success stories started exactly where you stand now.

They didn’t have any of those things…including me, but I didn’t let it stop me and neither should you.

Every journey no matter how long begins with just one step and that is where you are now, you just need to be shown the right path.

Unfortunately there are a lot of so called gurus out there who don’t want you to find this path because then you won’t need to continually buy their products.

They want to keep you in the dark and confuse you with all the different products out there so they can keep selling you the next shiny object that will deliver push button success.

The only way you can succeed online is to break out of this mentality and concentrate on a proven system.

Like anything else you do need knowledge to get started, you wouldn’t get into a car for the first time and expect to be able to drive would you.

You would pay for lessons from someone who knows how to drive, well internet is no different. You need to invest in yourself to learn how to do things the right way using a proven system that works and you can understand, and stick at it until you succeed.

That my friend is the secret of being successful at anything. Don’t give up at the first hurdle and buy the next shiny object that lands in your inbox and the next.

Stick with it and never give up. That’s why 99% of would be marketers fail, follow this procedure above and don’t give up and success will be yours.

You have chosen the right business to be in, with low start up costs and big profits you just need to do it the right way, so click the link below and take a look at something that ticks all the right boxes from someone who has been there and got the tee shirt as they say.

If you are serious about making money online then this is definitely for you. I personally recommend this as a great starting point on the road to your internet business success check it out below with no obligation, and good luck.

***Starting Point Weekly

Greetings and welcome to issue 11.

Today I am going to talk to you some more on motivation. Every now and again I am going to try and bring you a short article or video or both to try and keep you motivated sometimes by reminding you of the consequences of you not taking action such as today or the rewards of taking action and seeing your dreams come to fruition.

I know at this point in time it may be difficult to believe you can do this but believe me my friend you can. There are millions of people throughout the world, myself included making regular money from the internet so why can`t you.

They are just ordinary people like you who all started from where you are now with no list or products or contacts but they all persevered until they achieved success.

As the old Chinese proverb says “even the longest journey begins with a single step”, so follow the steps I am giving you one step at a time and you surly will achieve the success you desire.

Thought For Today
—————————————————————-

When you speak, do you listen?

And when others speak, do you hear?

There is a voice inside your head that loves to interrupt. It chimes in all the time – it cuts across other people when they speak to you and gets in the way when you speak to them, making you forget your thread and hum and haw.

Today’s thought is a simple technique that lets you silence that voice so that you can start to really hear and listen.

Try this out today – and practice it whenever you can. It seems awkward at first, but you’ll soon see how powerful it can be.

For really listening to what other people are saying to you, repeat their words inside your head AS THEY SAY THEM.

This does two things. It makes sure that you have really heard what they are saying, and it blocks your inner voice from taking you on sidetracks.

When you are speaking, do the same thing – echo the words you utter inside your own head. This makes you concentrate on the flow of your own words better and prevents many of the irritating filler words (um, eh, ah, like, y’know) from popping out.

As soon as you start to speak more fluently, without all the fillers cluttering up your meaning, people will start to respond to what you say rather than the way you say it.

Give it ah a try um, you’ll like soon see ah that it, you know, works um wonders in your er communications.

Michel de Montaigne said,

“There is as much difference between us and ourselves as between us and others.”

Achieving Your Goals
————————————————————–

Every goal, ambition, dream or target that you have in your life comes ready-made with a fixed amount of energy attached to it.

Once that pre-fixed energy is gone, you lapse into a state of flux: you neither have the power to carry on towards your target, nor do you have the will to forget the whole thing.

The result: procrastination. All you can do is think of other things that you’d rather be doing.

But, that unfinished task acts like a drain on the energy attached to all the other things that you do instead.

Each task’s energy CAN be boosted, but only if it is topped up before it runs empty.

The trick is to either plan your jobs so that you finish each one while its energy level is still sufficient to keep you going, or to deliberately stop before the tank runs empty – so that your enthusiasm can supply the needed fuel for you to start again another day.

Think of it like a car. All the time there is gas in the tank, you can go somewhere and get things done. If the needle says that the tank is running low, you can get to a gas station and fill up.

But if you ignore that needle and allow the tank to run dry, you grind to a halt. Odds are that you will come to a full-stop in the most inconvenient place possible, and getting more gas will be a major challenge.

A Moment’s Inspiration
—————————————————————-

Perception is the spark that often starts us on the road to success. We perceive that it possible.

Perspiration is the oil that keeps our wheels turning even when they start to seize up.

Persistence is the fuel that keeps out engine burning even when the journey seems impossible.

Performance is the wheel that steers our course – as long as we can perform the correct actions, our route will be true.

Personal is our destination. Only we can truly say to where we are journeying.

Perhaps you agree. That would be perfect.

Paid Traffic
————————————————————–

1. Pay Per Click (PPC)
A few years ago you could use Adwords (Google’s PPC service) to buy traffic at incredibly cheap rates like $0.05 per click.

People made a lot of money by running PPC campaigns and sending it directly to the sales pages of affiliate offers (such as those on Clickbank) or to CPA offers (where you get paid when a visitor that you send performs a specific action such as filling out a form or requesting a consultation).

Alas, those days are long gone: Google is MUCH more expensive these days and is very strict about what kind of web pages you can send people to.

However, there are other non-Google options which can provide you with very cheap traffic. Infolinks.com and 7search.com are two such platforms.

They are not perfect (what is really?) but I recommend you investigate them as cheap traffic is possible if you are willing to invest some time in tweaking your campaigns.

Facebook is another popular platform of course although I haven’t tried this myself (yet!).

Solo Ads
This is where you pay another market to promote your squeeze page to their list.

You can find opportunities through services like the Warrior Forum (Joint Venture section), approaching marketers directly via email or using mailing list finders such as lists.nextmark.com. or my favorite one I always use for new lists is Safeswaps.com

This is one of the fastest ways to build your list, especially if you are starting from zero and need an initial “kick start”! I will show you a video next week of one of my own personal safeswaps campaigns.

Adswaps
The only thing is that you shouldn’t get too carried away with them because if you do adswaps all the time then your subscribers will end up on multiple lists and be less attentive to your emails. So your open rates will decline and ultimately your list will just die!

Banners
This is where you pay to put a banner (which is like a small advert for your site or product) on other sites to drive traffic to your site or offer.

You can get a banner designed cheaply on Fiverr.com and then get a company such as bannersboker.com to place your banner for you on high traffic sites.

I could go on and on and there are a multitude of traffic strategies out there. But the ones above work and they will work for you to if you’re willing to put in some time and effort and a little money.

In case you missed it in last weeks edition here is a free book on traffic generation, just click here to download it.

Also here is the link again to a very low cost traffic generation video course ( less than $10 ) that comes with PLR rights so you can sell it to your customers and recoup the cost on your first sale.

It will also become a useful part of your sales funnel and help build trust with your future subscribers.

This Week’s Quick Tip
—————————————————————-

Never rely on memory alone. It is either fleeting, or deceiving.

In a normal business environment, dozens of decisions are made each day – many of them in totally inappropriate places. The water cooler, the corridor, the restroom.

Will you remember every decision and action point? Will the other person?

Make sure that every decision that requires input from you (even if that input is no further action) is immediately documented.

Keep a small notepad in your pocket and jot down the place, time and action point. Then, as soon as is practical, fire off a quick email to the other party to confirm the conversation.

You will look far more professional and you will suffer far less from the ‘I said, you said’ misunderstandings.

—————————————————————
The A-Z Of The Internet
—————————————————————-

K is for keywords
A keyword is a word you would type into a search engine or web site when searching for information or a product. When you have a few words together then it becomes known as a keyword phrase.

For example you go to ebay and type in the keyword shoes, that keyword will need to be included in the sellers advert or their product will not show up when someone types in that word into the search bar.

Even better if you can be more specific, such as mens shoes or ladies slippers, it all helps you to be found by the person searching for that particular product.

It’s the same with the search engines, if you are selling a product about, say list building.

Ideally your sales page should contain the keywords list building as many times as possible without it affecting the way the sales page reads.

It should also contain similar keywords that are related to the product. Even better try to put the keywords list building into the domain name of the site to help you rank well in the search engines.
