I know that many would say that political commentary is absolutely taboo for an internet business blog, but I have to coment on this guy. If you live in America and have not heard of this guy, you need to come out of hiding and connect with the world around you!
Glenn is a recovering alcoholic with a tough background that goes from crying real tears in sincere moments to silly “over the line” satire on his radio show. He has done some rather outlandish stunts on his TV program, but his silly antics with his on-air cohorts is unrivaled on the radio.
What I have to comment on is the very thing that makes him so controversial. People like to make fun of his silliness and his emotional moments, but what REALLY gets them worked up is the stories he airs concerning political activists, largely in the current administration. Funny thing is many of the “big-wigs” in both political parties dislike him and well they should. He has accused both sides of playing politics with our finances and our futures. He just happened to become more visible with his new TV show during the Obama administration, but he has been REALLY hard on W’s presidency as well.
Funny (or sad) thing is, none have yet to actually challenge the charges he makes with any facts. His research is extremely thorough, and he frequestly begs his opposition to prove him wrong.
So, I must simply say this, If you live in the United States and care at all about this country, I challenge you to prove him wrong. Don’t send it to me, send it to him. Don’t just repeat what some opposing talking head has claimed, but check the sources and see for yourself. I find that most don’t make their information sources available. Mr. Beck does.
Sometimes I hate his style, other times I’m ashamed at how I laugh with him, but most of all I share his genuine concern for this country and our failure to hold those in office accountable to the Constitution they have take an oath to protect.
Most of those he exposes, I don’t see as evil, simply misguided idealogues that have mistakenly bought into the belief that the desired end justifies the means. There will be no utopia where the riches will be shared with “less fortunate” and all will share in the blessings. Good fortune frequently appears to be involved in causing wealth, but as an old dude, my observations have been that on close examination, the good fortune was the result of hard work an determination. Most of those I know that are truly successful, have also failed a time or two (or more). The ONE common trait I find in the wealthy is determination. Socialistic sharing of the wealth suppresses business and job creation to the point of ulimately creating more poverty.
The greatest environment for the determined to succeed in is our capitalist free enterprise system. The less government interferes through regulations and taxes, the more creativity in this environment blossoms. This is the only effective source of job creation that has ever worked in a sustainable fashion.
Whew- finally got it off my chest- Jolly Joe

Sharing the Wealth in a Planned Economy
Sep 24th, 2009 | By Tony Demaio | Category: Featured, Morning Whiskey
I got some new material from Air America today. Folks were calling in to the host stating how taxes were “good” (or at least not bad) as they paid for civilization or other such nonsense. They were waxing eloquently on the benefits of taxation and all the “good things” it has done. They were talking about “sharing the wealth”—perhaps “praying” is a better word.
One guy called in and talked about the Scandinavian countries where you paid 48% tax but didn’t have to pay for garbage pick-up or many of life’s other irritations. He also stated that the minimum wage was 18 dollars an hour—and the Guilder exchange rate was essentially one to one against the dollar. When you got paid, most of your (remaining) income was disposable. (I suspect the caller did not know that our poor live better than most of the middle class in those countries. Most do not have cars or own their own homes. They do not eat as well as us and depending upon how you define it, their medical care is not as good. Their economies are basket cases, and they are “rethinking” their governmental philosophy. I suspect that the caller also did not know that the Guilder is extinct—it was replaced by the Euro. Also, according to Frommers, a quick midday meal can cost $7.50—$15.00 (US). At ten bucks for a sandwich, I suspect one isn’t going to live very high on $18/hr. One can stay in a 6th floor walk-up garret for $340/wk. The 3 star hotels are around Euro 115 ($93) per week.
I guess it’s a wonderful thing to be able to have all your needs provided for you and not have to EARN them. I suspect it’s a case of “Let the SUCKERS work.” Or, as one pony-tailed male said at a Kerry “Town Hall” Meeting: “Senator Kerry, we are your CHILDREN. We want you to take care of us.” I guess it is convenient to have your necessities provided to you (like a child) and to receive them whether or not you work and earn them. The host seemed to also think this was a “good idea.”
As one Air America host said, “I think people have a RIGHT to a free house, food, clothing, and medical care.” I believe it would be “nice” if this host took a course in Philosophy. Perhaps she would realize that her wish is the desire of a loser—someone who believes they cannot provide for themselves, so begs others to provide it for them. It is the plea of a beggar or a parasite if applied to herself; and an arrogant, egotistical, self-important fool if applied to others. It states, “I am so much better that others, I can take care of myself AND it is necessary for me to take care of the others who CANNOT take care of themselves.” (White man’s burden??) The very definition of “slavery” implies that a person is a slave if he works for others with no right to compensation. Hence, if I am compelled to work to supply a home (or food or medical care) for someone who does not pay me in some fashion, then I am his slave. Yet if you asked this host if she believed in “slavery,” she would be offended and insulted. I suspect it is called “doublethink” or ignorance. Perhaps in lieu of a course in Philosophy, this host should take a trip through a neighborhood where homes were “given” to people and not earned. If she does so, I suggest she use an armored car—or a tank.
I wonder how the caller and host would react if I were to show up at their door one day and forcibly take their food budget for the year from them. Then I would provide them with a year’s supply of (dried) food. The food would consist of an “appropriate” mixture of broccoli, cabbage, squash, sauerkraut, brussels sprouts, pumpkin, beans, corn, rice, ten pounds of beef, ten pounds of pork, thirty pounds of chicken, eighty pounds of fish, etc. For liquid, I would provide water. If they complained, I would lecture them on the value of “healthy eating” and how because of the waste in their past practices, many other people were starving; how it was their DUTY to help feed the poor. If they complained about the amount of food, I would counsel them on how it was healthy to be thin. I would apologize that no health foods or organic foods are available and explain that they are just too labor intensive. I would also tell them that there was barely enough meat, wine, coffee, tea, and organic food for the program administrators.
If they continued to complain, I would inform them as to how they were much better off than other planned economies. For instance, in Cuba, their “free” State supplied food would be per family member: Beans 4 oz per week, Rice 5 lbs. per week, Fish 2 lbs. per week, Meat none n/a, Sugar 4 lbs. per month, Milk none n/a. Food is scarce and very limited to all Cubans and provided by the government in the form of rations to the people. Each citizen has to go to a town ration distribution place, no matter of their profession, status, etc. within society. This process of distribution means long waiting lines for all Cubans. Such is MUCH BETTER than the planned economy/free food of North Korea, where according to a UN study, “crop failures” have caused such a drastic cut in daily rations in 2003 that North Korean households have to rely on alternative ways of getting food including rearing livestock, growing kitchen gardens and collecting wild foods like edible grasses, acorns, tree bark and sea algae.
Once they accepted the idea that I was only looking out for their best interests, I would take their clothing budget and supply them with clothing for the year. Since I would be doing this for everyone, I would achieve great economies of scale and could produce identical clothes for everyone. By utilizing tunics, robes, and smocks, I could produce very few sizes and supply everyone with clothes quite reasonably. Sandals would replace shoes, and I could mass-produce many items at little cost. As such, I could supply everyone with clothes. I would even have enough resources left over to produce special clothing for the program administrators.
I would come back a month later and inform the caller (and host) that it would be necessary for them to diminish their usage of electricity. In order for the government to pay for the electricity, it would be necessary for them to conserve so that EVERYONE could have 300 kilowatt hours of electricity a month. Consequently, I would be putting a monitor on their meter so that they could not use more than the designated amount. The supply would be shut off after 300 kilowatt-hours until the end of the month when it would be reset. I would tell them how healthful cold food was; how cooking food destroys the vitamins and minerals. I would inform them how the program administrators were sacrificing and giving up THEIR meters because there were not enough meters for everyone.
In September, I would return to put a limiter on their heater so that the temperature never got higher than 65 degrees. As everyone is (or should be) aware, there IS a shortage of natural gas. Burning wood in a fireplace would not be permitted in order to save the trees and assist with the air pollution problem. I would tell them how healthful cold showers were. As with the electricity monitors—not enough limiters for the program administrators, much to their sorrow.
If I find out that they are considering purchasing a vehicle, I would return and take the money they had saved and supply them with a Yugo. If they complained, I would have to educate them on the value of saving gasoline, and how it was necessary for them to economize so that OTHERS could also have a vehicle. If they continued to complain, I would retract the offer of a Yugo and replace it with a motor scooter. Such would serve as an example to other greedy citizens. In order that they not get the wrong impression, I would explain to them as I leave that program administrators do so much driving as part of their job that they must be comfortable in order to always be at peak efficiency—and that’s why I have a SUV.
Once the principals of “sharing” and “common good” had been firmly established, I would again visit my new found friends. I would inform them that too much gasoline was being wasted in commuting to work. It would be necessary for them to move closer to their jobs. (If they have one—if not, I would just have to find them one and demand they work there—else no food.) Also, since there were only two people living together, they would be supplied with a rather nice two-bedroom apartment close to their workplace. Their three-bedroom, two-bath home would be given to a nice needy family with three kids. They would be instructed to leave their SUV (the one they owned and had kept previous to obtaining the scooter) since the new family would need it, but they could take their motor scooter with them. Also, considering the neighborhood to which they would be moving, the government would supply them with a taser and pepper spray. They need not worry once they were inside—the metal door has triple locks. I would assure them that when my sister moved into their home, she would take very good care of it.
After my new friends became ensconced in their new home, I would visit them with instructions on how to access their new doctor(s). I would notify them that they would not be going to their old doctor, since he was so far away and it is necessary to conserve gasoline. I would inform them that they were assigned to the clinic a block away where some nice young newly graduated doctors were practicing. (Before the doctor shortage, these doctors would have been classified as “interns.”) The older, more experienced doctors (those that had not left the country) were working in other neighborhoods where they were needed more—for example, in MY neighborhood. I would tell them of the benefits of EVERYONE having access to medical care—not just the chosen few. I would lecture them on the sin of “greed” and wanting the best for themselves while others went wanting; and the joy of “sharing” with others. I would tell them that they are fortunate in that their clinic only has a two-month waiting period. It was achieved by not treating emergencies. All emergencies should be scheduled two months in advance.
I would further inform them of one of the great benefits of their new home—free garbage service. I would educate them on how to use the new system. Since we compost, food waste must be separated out and put in a separate can. Since we recycle, aluminum cans must also be separated out. Metal cans must also be separated—as must newspaper. Bottles must be washed clean and placed in a separate container, as must plastic containers. All other garbage must be placed together in a separate container. As such, you must put out seven cans each week. Each can is a different color to reflect its contents. Garbage pick up is between 6.00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Cans must be placed at the street corner 100 feet north (not in front of the home) each Saturday after 5 a.m. and must be removed before 7.00 a.m. Each can costs $50, and no other type of can may be used. Failure to comply with either separating the refuse or timeliness of placing the cans or neglecting to put the cans out or using the wrong color can for contents or using an improper can is a $50.00 fine for each occurrence. We recommend having several backup cans since if one gets lost, stolen, or damaged, it will take three weeks to replace it. During that time, you will incur a fine for each week you fail to comply with the requirements. It is necessary to set these rules as it is quite expensive to provide free garbage service, and costs must be curtailed where possible.
If you ACT like a child that must be “taken care of,” you will be TREATED like a child that must be “taken care of.”

Hey guys,
I used to teach a program on “Time Management and Goal Setting”. One of the first principles laid down was that TIME is NOT manageable. Time is made up of events, so we have to learn how to manage events. Many people trying to develop a web based business are also busy people with a full time job and a “life” that does not leave a lot of room for scheduling additional activities. If you are a “boomer” like me, many of the so-called tech skills require some actual study and learning.
The challenge when taking on something new is finding large enough time blocks to really add to your comprehension. Most of us can find 15 minutes a day to work on a new project. The problem is for most of us 15 minutes just won’t give you the time to absorb, much less try to apply a new skill. You can’t believe how long it took me to just get this blog up and running. Here is the trick - Find at least 4 things that you are trying to allocate fifteen minutes a day doing. Next - Stop giving those items fifteen minutes every day! Instead - Try devoting one hour to each one of these projects every four days. You will find that in many cases you will be able to free up some time, because you are wasting less time starting and stopping and your efficiency improves.
Keep applying this principle until you can find a couple of hours to work on your NEW project. I know this works. When I was young I subscribed to the “what are you doing with the time between 1 AM and 4 AM ” attitude. In other words, you can always give up a little sleep to work on something that you are excited about. The problem is if you keep operating that way, your health will eventually fail. If you are fighting health issues, you have to make that part of your event control that you practice. Forcing an exercise schedule and reasonable sleep times has been one of the greatest scheduling challenges I have. But I have FINALLY realized that if I ignore these things I am less productive than if I make time for them.
Remember we ALL have 1440 minutes in our day. If you take 1% of that (14.4 minutes) and actually plan your events for the day, you will be an EXCEPTIONAL PERSON. If you WRITE your goals, you WILL see success that will not be seen without writing them. This is a topic for a future post.
His Best to you all,
Jolly Joe

A Reminder from the Master
Yesterday, while listening to a recording by one of the true masters of public speaking, Patricia Fripp, she said something in her talk that absolutely blew me into a stunned state, “Your job as a speaker is to be remembered and repeated.”, and then a few moments later, “What will people say about your speech 10 months from now?”
I remember hearing her say the same thing in teleconferences on the Champions’ Edge and at the Get Coached to Speak Champ Camp I attended a few months ago. However, the point did not stick at that time. I was too worried about the mechanics of my speech at the time to really sit down and focus on what the message was in my speech.
Upon contemplating this for awhile, I kept being drawn back into things people have been saying to me the past two weeks. Things like, “what is the point?”, “OK, that is the why but what is the how?”, or “what value does it add.”
How many times in your speech has someone said something like that to you?
We are too Focused on the Mechanics
It hurts, because we do get wrapped up in the mechanics more then the content. That is one of the flaws of Toastmasters. That is one of the reasons why after so many presentations, we only remember the ones that are designed to be “remembered and repeated.”
What lessons can you learn from this?
1. Make sure you have a clear and concise message before you sit down to prepare your speech.
2. Write down the key phrase that you want people to walk away saying after your presentation.
3. Make sure that the key phrase is short, connects to the purpose of the speech, and is something that can be repeated at key moments in the speech without sounding like you are trying to get people to memorize the phrase. Yes, that is tough, but audiences know when you are trying to trick them.
4. Most importantly, know your topic. You are far more likely to have key phrases in speeches that you have internalized then something you have put together at the last minute with little to no background on the subject of the speech.
Remember what Patricia Fripp said, “Speak to be remembered and repeated.”
How will you be remembered and repeated in your next speech?

The other day I attended a seminar and heard something interesting. The speaker was making a point that MLM business is a better business opportunity than internet marketing, and mentioned in passing that more than 95% of internet marketing business failed.
Sitting among the audience, the immediate thought that came to my mind was: Isn’t this the same comment people said of MLM!
It is amazing how biased people’s view can be when they look from their own perspective.
In the market, it is also commonly sited that MLM has more than 95% failure rate, if not more.
Is It True That MLM Has Over 95% Failure Rate
It is interesting to note, that people in MLM don’t think that internet marketing is a viable business, while people in internet marketing feel the same towards MLM.
So, who’s right and who’s wrong?
The fact is: They are all right!
Henry Ford said: “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”
John Lilly said: “In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true either is true or becomes true.”
There are lots of highly controversial comments on the viability of MLM business. It is not possible or necessary to ascertain whether they are true or false. The reason being that they all come from personal experiences and opinions.
All opinions are true in the man’s own perspective, but may not be in others. If you want to have the same experience as the man, follow his opinions.
Looking At MLM Failure Rate In Perspective
Despite how much people like Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trumps, Warren Buffets and Stephen Covey have endorsed MLM business in one way or another, it is still a subject that evokes much cynical emotions.
Very often, claims that include statistical proof, eg: “Over 95% Failure Rate”, often bring high emotional impact on those who are less capable of critical-thinking.
Claims like that can easily create an impression that the business is not viable. While the claim may be true, it is a false representation of the subject business relative to other businesses.
Why?
The fact is: This same claim is true for most businesses!
Do you know the failure rate of career in insurance agent, real estate agent, or any other small business start-ups?
It is important to view this claim in perspective.
How Do You Interpret Such Claim When Assessing A Business Opportunity
There are 4 things to remember when you research on business opportunity:
- Recognize that opinions are diverse when it comes to viability of different business model.
- In almost all legitimate businesses, the number of failure is much higher than success.
- Failure evokes a much stronger emotion that needs an outlet more than success.
- For the reasons in point 2 and 3, you will hear more negative comments from people who have failed, than positive comments from people who have succeeded.
When assessing a business opportunity, look at the industry growth figures, the overall sales trend, the number of players in the market, and its growth trend.
Read everything you can find on the business, from the internet, books or magazines. And form an independent view of the business viability.
The single most important advise is: Listen to people who have succeeded if you want to succeed like them.

I was reminded of a comment by the character Will Smith played in the movie “Hitch” while speaking to a group recently. He said, “I tell all my clients to live every day like they were doing it ‘on purpose’. So, I do the same”. Now this was probably not an exact quote, but the intent is intact and very clear. I imagine that Will Smith practices this. He is a man of great and varied accomplishment. I believe that this is something that most of us often fail to do. If you are feeling overwhelmed, after getting enough rest to think clearly, take time to assess where you are and build a plan. Often we are overcommited and need to prioritize, organize, and ELIMINATE! I struggle with the last one the most, but if I could stop overcommitting all would be well. OK, maybe not all, but at least much. It is funny how many times I need to force myself to practice things that I have taught others. In the book of James, we are told that faith w/o works is dead. Well I am also of the oppinion that wisdom not practiced is worthless! Be Blessed, Wise, and Organized!!!

I have often told my classes that when you go into business for yourself, if they were not previously, they WOULD become a person of prayer!
The comment usually brought some knowing nods along with several snickers. Occassionalyy there were even a smirk or two!
One of my favorite examples was the story of how I paid my Personal Property Taxes on the inventory of my first motorcycle business. Shortly after opening in a great building that was only in a fair location, I was able to purchase a good building in a much better location. After being in this location for a couple of years, I discovered that I owed Personal Property Taxes on my inventory! This business was started with a lot of debt and no operating capital. ( A whole story unto itself that we may address later) Because of the financial condition, I did NOT have the money to pay the tax.
At that time I was in the habit of praying for guidance in my business daily. I knew that God wasn’t going to support cheating on my taxes, so I decided to let him figure it out. I knew that he knew I didn’t have the money, so I left it with Him and told Him I would address it when He told me to. Several months later, when praying over the business, this came up after I had completely forgotten about it. I know I may have just been in denial, but regardless it had come up while in prayer, so I took this as God telling me it was time to deal!
That day I went in to see our County Treasurer. When he came out, I introduced myself and confessed that I owed taxes that had not been paid. He looked at me with dismay and said that he had never had anyone come in and volunteer to pay taxes that they had not been billed for! He invited me into his private office and listened to my story. He asked how much my inventory was worth, and asked me about my building. He also asked if the building had been appraised, which it had. It turned out that I had paid taxes on the building based on a value that was just enough higher than the appraised value to cover my inventory. He looked at me and said, “Looks like your biil is paid in full”.
Some may say it was all coincidence, but I say God answers prayer!!

It is said that in order to become a successful individual in whatever endeavor you wish to take, you must have the right attitude and characteristics. This is also true with an entrepreneur. Not everyone can become an entrepreneur. But before anything else, what is an entrepreneur?
According to one definition, an entrepreneur is someone who finances or initiates a certain business undertaking. If you too would want to become a businessperson, you have to possess the characteristics of an entrepreneur.
What are the characteristics of an entrepreneur? Are they really important? Well, of course the characteristics are important because if you don’t possess them, you will have lower chances in terms of business success. The characteristics are as follows –
1. Risk taker – this is a very important characteristic of an entrepreneur. If you’re not willing to take any risk, then you will not succeed as a businessperson. In the everyday course of the business, you will encounter a lot of problems and challenges which you need to decide the soonest.
Some risks are worth taking after careful evaluation especially if it’s for the good of the business. If you’re not a risk taker, then you’re not an effective entrepreneur and you’re bound to fail in your business undertaking.
2. Smart – being smart is another characteristic of an entrepreneur. You have to be clever, keen, and witty in all your business dealings. You have to show mental alertness and intelligence so that you can win the respect and trust of customers and other clients.
3. A leader – leadership is a characteristic that is hard to find among individuals. Not many individuals have the nerve to take the lead. To become a good entrepreneur, you must be a leader. Some say that this is a born characteristic but if you don’t possess it, you can also learn to become a leader.
You’re quite lucky if you’re a born leader because you only have to develop your other qualities and use them when you choose to become an entrepreneur. As a leader, you should be able to guide, influence, and direct people. This way, you can handle all your business activities with ease and fewer worries.
4. Inner passion for business – another important characteristic is having the right passion for business. You have to maintain your enthusiasm and interest in the business. As long as you have the right drive and passion, you can run the business for a long time.
5. Honest and trustworthy – some say that eighty percent of an entrepreneur’s time is dedicated to pooling and attracting customers. This may be true because without the customers, the business will not exist. You have to be honest and trustworthy so that you can develop good will.
There are other characteristics that an entrepreneur should possess. These characteristics help him or her do all the business responsibilities and obligations that need to be done.
These are also the keys to business success. If you want to finance a certain business venture and run the business yourself, you should develop these characteristics. Without them, your business will soon fail and you will suffer the losses.
Be thankful if you already have the characteristics of an entrepreneur. All you need to do now is to study the market carefully, think of a good business venture, and provide for the capital and you’re all set.

This is just a quick note to put out to those interested a guy that I found named Eric. He has been hugely successful on the net and is wanting to help others succeed. This is for real. He is putting out a set of videos on his blog for NO charge that are all about teaching you how to succeed on the web. Check it out. The only thing I have seen him charge for is a $7 book he offered after the last video. They are all available on his blog. He did give several of us the opportunity to donate to a ministry he did some missions work with, but it was entirely voluntary.
Great guy, you won’t be sorry, and no, I don’t make anything off of this, even if you later spend money with him on something! Enjoy, and if you appreciate it sign in to my blog so I can add you to my list. I promise to not mail more than weekly and only to send you information from those that I have had psoitive experiences with.

How To Make Money Online (yes, even if you’re a newbie)
Have you noticed how difficult it is to actually get any REAL information about how to make money online.
It’s a nightmare isn’t it? You start off buying up everything you come across - all promising your overnight riches but only to disappoint you and leave you out of pocket. Well it doesn’t have to be like that as Michael Cheney is about to explain in this interview.
Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos, 11 Days To List Profits and Michael’s Traffic Videos.
After receiving 1489 responses to a survey he put out to his list one big request came back from almost everyone;
“Give us something easy, step-by-step and proven to make money online that anyone can do!”
So,that’s what he is giving you in the new product; “http://indexjj.startintro.hop.clickbank.net”><strong>Start Your Profits Today
Check out this interview!
<strong>Q. </strong>Michael, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with us today. <br>
<br>
<strong>A. </strong>My pleasure - I know a lot of people out there want to get started making money online so it’s my job to get out and spread the word about how easy it is.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q.</strong> So what do you see as being the main hurdles to newbies being able to make money on the internet? What is it that’s stopping them?<br>
<br>
<strong>A.</strong> To be honest with you I think the main thing is information. There is just so much BAD information out there. Scams. Cons. Just bad information that is leading people astray and wasting their time and money. I mean you get onto the Internet and the first thing you see almost is these get-rich-quick schemes. It’s not your fault for seizing these so-called opportunities as they are presented so well. And believe me - I know there are thousands of you out there who have been taken for a ride by things like this. People on my list have been telling me this.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q.</strong> Yes, you ran survey didn’t you to ask your list what they wanted? What sort of questions did you ask them and what did they say?<br>
<br>
<strong>A.</strong> Well I asked how I could most help them. You know - I’ve been online since 1995 and make a lot of money online but I was keen to tap into their BIGGEST challenges and needs. So I asked them what sort of information they wanted to learn. What style of learning they preferred and how they wanted this information to be delivered. I was totally blown away by the responses - I got 1489 people completing the survey!<br>
<br>
<strong>Q.</strong> So what did they say?<br>
<br>
<strong>A.</strong> There some big common themes that kept coming up as I looked at the responses and all the comments. These were that people want something that is STEP BY STEP, something that is AFFORDABALE and something that takes you right FROM BEGINNING and doesn’t leave anything out. You can get really frustrated when you start investing in products that claim to make you money online only to find that leave out a massive piece of the jigsaw. Or they forget to mention that you need to buy X, Y and Z just to make their system work. And that’s where <a href=”http://indexjj.startintro.hop.clickbank.net”><strong>Start Your Profits Today</strong></a> is different.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q.</strong> How do you mean exactly?<br>
<br>
<strong>A.</strong> Well, for the first time - I take you, as a total newbie beginner, right through the entire process from beginning to end on making money online. You discover how to get your own website address, how to create your website and how to start bringing the money in by selling other people’s products. This is a distilled version of the best making-money techniques I have ever used in my 13 years’ online experience. This is quite simple the fastest, easiest and best way to make money online and I show you what to do every step of the way.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q.</strong> Sounds great. So how do you take people through all these steps?<br>
<br>
<strong>A.</strong> Simple - I have recorded short videos on-screen of me actually doing each of these steps so you just follow the simple success formula - WATCH. COPY. EARN. You cannot go wrong, even a child could do it. I’m serious!<br>
<br>
<strong>Q.</strong>You’re right, it does sound really easy. So tell me, what are some of these steps that you go through in <a href=”http://indexjj.startintro.hop.clickbank.net”><strong>Start Your Profits Today</strong></a>?<br>
<br>
<strong>A.</strong> You learn how to pinpoint the most profitable products to promote. You like that title?! I like to have snappy titles that inspire you to take action as it’s not all sexy make-money stuff right from the beginning. There are obviously crucial steps you need to take in preparation. You know - to get your website online, to get your website address and to add words and pictures to your website etc.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q. </strong>So what exactly do you need if you’re a beginner starting out trying to make online? Are there some items you need to buy?<br>
<br>
<strong>A. </strong>Great question - yes you do need to have a few essentials. You just can’t make money online without them. You’ll need your own website address and of course your own website. I show you where to get this and the best, cheapest place to go for this in <a href=”http://indexjj.startintro.hop.clickbank.net”><strong>Start Your Profits Today</strong></a>. Other than that you can do everything else pretty much for free.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q. </strong>So you don’t need to buy lots of different things to get started online?<br>
<br>
<strong>A.</strong> No not all. I’m a big believer in doing things that are free! I started out with nothing, working from my bedroom in a poxy one-bed bachelor apartment. Now I live in $800,000 house in the country. My point? When I started out if there was a free way to do something - I found it! And I’m still that way now so I uncover some of these insider money-saving secrets in the videos as well.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q.</strong> So wrapping up then - who would you say would benefit from these videos? Do you need to have a basic level of knowledge on the internet to get started?<br>
<br>
<strong>A.</strong> If you can turn on your computer you are good to go! Seriously! You’ll see that I take you by the hand and guide you through every step of the way. I hate jargon so you won’t see any of that and it’s all explained in simple English and you can go along and progress through to the money at your own pace.<br>
<br>
<strong>Q. </strong>You really do seem to have created a product that every newbie is going to want! So I guess the big question is - how much money can they make using <a href=”http://indexjj.startintro.hop.clickbank.net”><strong>Start Your Profits Today?</strong></a><br>
<br>
<strong>A. </strong>Well this all really depends on your attitude. If you have a great attitude and you put in the time to go through the steps then there is honestly no limit. You could quite easily be bringing in a few hundred to a few thousand extra dollars a week once you are up and running. What you need to remember is that is exactly the same system that I use in my multi-million dollar business. It works for me, it works for thousands of other people and it will work for you too.<br>
<br>
