Apprentice Marketer Gazette

Associating ourselves with successful bloggers is - I believe - a good way
to benefit from their experience and pick up some helpful hints!

Aaron Abber’s of
FullTiltBlogging.com reaches out to the community of bloggers and he
is very generous about sharing his knowledge…Being a very creative
businessman he has devised a method to monetize his generosity by offering
an affiliate opportunity to his new private membership site

FullTiltBlogging.com
will be launching its private membership site.

This is what he says about it:

You can begin promoting today and start earning commissions when we launch.
(For details, see this post:
www.fulltiltblogging.com/blog/2008/05/30/let-me-pay-you-21564-per-subscriber/

First, grab a free ClickBank ID by going here (opens in a newwindow)
http://www.FullTiltBlogging.com/affiliate

Next, write an email to your list or put a post on your blog recommending one
of these resources here at
FullTiltBlogging.com. Just replace “CLICKBANKID” in the URL with your own
ClickBank ID.

“How This Affiliate Program is Different”

First when you send a subscriber to me I am going to encode your affiliate
number along side their email address on my list. Whether they join today,
tomorrow or next year, you get the
commission.

As soon as you add them to my list they are locked in forever for you. It’s
exactly what you have been hoping for something that gives you a real
opportunity.

Next, you get to earn a commission not only on the subscribers you send to
the private membership site, you will earn a commission on every product that
the subscriber buys from me in the future—even years from now.

I will be paying you a TON of money – $17.97 per month for each subscriber you
send to the new membership site. That’s $215.64 a year for just one subscriber.

“What You Need to Do Right Now”

As I write this I am getting ready to contact the “big guns” about this launch.
Soon, they will be telling their subscribers about it, locking in those people’s
email addresses for themselves.
Once a subscriber is on my list, the person
who placed them there gets commissions on them forever.

I’ve intentionally waited to get the big guns on board so you can have a chance
to get your own group of subscribers on the list.

“Grab Your Unique Affiliate ID”

I will be paying your commissions through ClickBank—not only does that guarantee
you will get every penny you earn, it also means you can get a regular paycheck
every two weeks. Now,tell others about http://www.FullTiltBlogging.com/

Here’s the cool part. All you need to do to be ready to make serious bank on
Friday,June 27th is this: Tell your friends, visitors, subscribers, etc. to visit
FullTiltBlogging.com.

No sales pressure. No muss. No fuss.

Just use this link, replacing CLICKBANKID with your own unique ClickBank
affiliate ID:

http://www.FullTiltBlogging.com/blog/?a=CLICKBANKID

When people visit through your link, I’ll do my part to get them signed up
for my list coded with your affiliate ID.

You Don’t Have to Do Any Selling

How do you get them to visit? Simple: Just ask. Tell them about a neat or helpful
article. Tell them about a freebie I am giving away. You never have to sell them
anything—I’ll take care of that for you.

Tell them about the free PDF report:

FullTiltBlogging.com/101ways by Aaron Abber

Once they are on my list, you can sit back and relax, waiting for June 27th.
Before the site launches I will send them all sorts of “getting ready” emails,
getting them ready for the launch.
Then, on June 27th, my well oiled promotion machine will kick into gear and
start earning you money.

Every two weeks ClickBank will send you a check for your efforts.

You Can Act, Now You Have Real Opportunity

Go ahead and start, right now. It’s simple. It’s free.
It will make you money.

Well, since my last post I got my stimulus check, paid for my car’s brake
job with a credit card(so I could have some cash on hand) and a lot
of unexpected things happened in my life that kept me from posting
on this blog for over a month.

I don’t know why I feel the need to explain because I doubt that many people
read my first posts since the blog was so new…but I do because I intend to
build a relationship with my readers. If I had opened a store on main avenue
I certainly would have had to have someone replace me or at least put a sign
on the window… having paid for a lease and other necessities would have
made that an expensive proposition! Setting my blog up required very little
money outlay - Wordpress is free and I only needed to have hosting.

Starting a business online is tempting because it takes very little capital
investment so there is no risk of losing one’s shirt and in that sense it’s
an opportunity accessible to anyone who wants to invest some time to
promotesome skills or products they already know would be marketable.
They would need a computer, an Internet connection and a relatively small
space in their home…if they are working at a regular job they could spend
some evening or week-end hours getting started.

There’s a goldmine of information on the internet, free for the taking and
the time to research the many ways of making money online if they don’t
already know what they want to promote… and they are people like me
who want to share what they have learned!

I’ll be back with information on different methods of making money online…

More than 130 million families, including 35 million families across the country who work, but make too little to pay income taxes, will receive a rebate. I read that Sears and K-Mart are offering to help you stretch your check by adding 10 percent of the amount of your stimulus check if you exchange it for a Sears of a Kmart gift card.
 
The beauty of an internet marketing business is that it’s possible to start out with very little money and an investment of a few hours a week at developing it, while keeping the day job! There are some some similarities with investing in the stock market, in the sense that you are spending a little money and time now hoping that it will provide you some income in the future.

So I’ve decided to put my car’s brake job on the plastic and keep my stimulus check so I’ll have a little extra cash on hand… although it doesn’t take much money to run my internet business it’s nice to have a little cushion.

I’ve been setting up this Wordpress site for the last few days, it’s really pretty simple but anything new takes getting used to - I used Blogger for my other blogs - I still have to figure out how to add pictures!

That’s why it’s nice to have a little disposable cash… I enjoy learning new skills but sometimes it makes
more sense to pay someone a few dollars so I can concentrate on some money-making activity.

To-morrow I will present information about different methods of making money online.

I’m having a high class problem!  how can i spend a 300 dollar windfall!
How can I spend my stimulus rebate check?

Well I can think of many fun ways to spend it…
shopping for clothes - I haven’t done that in a while…
shopping for shoes - I would really like to buy some new shoes…
taking a little trip to the Washington coast - gas - overnight cabin -
probably would only pay for an overnight little trip but that would
still be great - great memories - a change in outlook?

Those choices are not be in the cards because there are a few things I’m
struggling to pay so the question really is how should I spend
my stimulus check because that is my real dilemma.

I should use the money to pay down my credit card…. but my car needs a
brake job, so should I spend the 300 dollar check paying for that
instead of putting the charge on my credit card

That sounds very reasonable - my brakes are fixed and I didn’t increase
the balance on my credit card but have I made any progress? in a sense yes,
but the monthly payment I make on my credit balance will not change so
there’s no real immediate pleasure there, no real sense of having made any
progress - yes, I enjoy driving a safe car but I would have had the brakes
fixed anyway, so the gratification is in the future because of the lower
balance on my credit card.

The alternative I am seriously considering is to invest the 300 dollar
check in my internet marketing business… if I choose carefully I could
improve my income, but there are choices to be made between
investing in hardware or spending the money on marketing.

I will do some reflecting on that today and be back to-morrow to talk
about some of those choices.

What thoughts are you willing to share on the subject of spending your
stimulus rebate check?

You have probably read or heard about various myths (these are the truths that are valid only for certain cases, but not in general) surrounding wealth and wealthy people, all of which hinder your quest for financial independence.

Here are the most common and most destructive:

Myth No. 1: How much you earn depends on how hard you work

If this were true, then the physical, blue-collar workers, who have been working hard for years, would have been the wealthiest people on earth. Of course, this isn’t true. They form most of the workforce and the vast majority of the middle-class.

If you witnessed your parents coming home tired from a long day’s work in your youth, you probably learned that money wasn’t a sufficient reward for all that effort. People who work “just” for the money often have debts because they comfort themselves with whatever they can buy, beautiful things they lack when working.

Myth No. 2: Being paid for something you enjoy isn’t work and you shouldn’t ask for money for doing something that is enjoyable.

Check this with millionaires. They all have so much money that they don’t need to work anymore. Nevertheless, they work for other reasons, challenge, satisfaction, fullness of life, activity, fun … and all are connected to a love for their work. If there was no joy in doing a certain task, they would do something else that would make them much happier and that enables them to realize their dreams.

In fact, if you don’t enjoy your work, you will never become wealthy doing it! However, just because you enjoy your work doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get paid for it - in fact, that is the ultimate goal, to get paid for what you already enjoy so it never feels like you are at work!

Myth No. 3: You need to be in the right line of business to amass wealth

Do you think so? This must mean that all the people who are involved in the same business are millionaires. Of course, this isn’t true. In each business there are winners and losers; winners abound, even in businesses that consist of distasteful (to most) or “impossible” work like sweeping the streets, collecting the trash, working in a factory, pumping gas, selling newspapers, etc. On the other hand, there are just as many “losers” in businesses like selling real estate, management or being a stockbroker.

Myth No. 4: You need the right education to make a fortune

Are the most educated people really the wealthiest? Not at all! In this case, university professors would be the wealthiest people on earth. Ask them about their salaries, if you get the opportunity. The truth is vastly different- the wealthiest people are those who can convert their knowledge (or education) into money, in the best possible way. They can be highly educated people (like inventors, scientists, etc.) or almost ignorant.

Being formally uneducated does not equate to poor performance on the job or the inability to form a strong enough vision to carry a person to success - they can easily be experts without having a formal education.

Myth No. 5: It used to be easier

Statistics show an increase in the number of millionaires in the world every year. Talking about the “good old times” only offers comfort and a convenient excuse. If you look around, you’ll see there are people who behaved the same way in the “good old times” as they do now, yet their success has been recent. With technology and progress come new ideas, desires and needs and there are more business opportunities appearing daily to serve them.

Myth No. 6: I’m too old (young)

If you research the life stories of some of the most successful people, you’ll see that this isn’t true at all. Some became wealthy early in their lives (perhaps from the stock market), while others found their fortune in their old age. Ray Kroc, was more than fifty years old when he bought and made the first McDonald’s.

Myth No. 7: I don’t have enough money to start. You have to spend money to make money.

This is no different from any other excuse or “myth.” Like the others, it’s obvious this one isn’t true either. Many have made their fortunes starting from scratch, living in an apartment or working out of their garage and yet, they developed business empires that are worth billions of dollars today. The other elements of success are far more important than having seed money to start a business.

But yes, often money helps and it certainly doesn’t hurt. Like everything else discussed in other myths: it probably helps, but it is not always necessary.

Myth No. 8: I’ll begin when I know everything

Do you believe that you will know everything someday? Or even that you’ll know enough to ever be “really prepared now?” The more you learn, the more you see what you still need to learn. Success and obtaining wealth is a dynamic process. Even if you “could” come out of the gate knowing everything there is to know, some of those elements will change immediately and many will change rapidly. If you don’t decide now, nothing will happen. Live and learn.

Some millionaires have even allowed themselves to go bankrupt and then (even faster) recreated their wealth, sometimes even greater than before. Money itself isn’t the obstacle that is keeping you from being wealthy. If you’re really good in your business, don’t worry, because someone that will offer you money (a bank or business partner) will appear who will appreciate your talent knowing you are a very good investment opportunity. But you can’t sit around waiting for this - make it happen.

Exercise “taking action” as much as you can. Make your workplace better or more efficient. After all, even if someone else signs your paycheck, you really work for you. Even if you are an employee in a large corporation - it isn’t your corporation - but it is the only corporation through which you can prove what you are capable of right now.

All of us have what it takes to become a millionaire! Born winners, yet few of us know how to take advantage of and cultivate the possibilities hidden inside our own mind! No one can ever grant you greater potential than your heart already holds…you need only discover its contents to find the one true path to your success in life. Born with the seeds to our success, the greatest decisions must always come from the
inside! You will discover a new, deep well of fortune – yourself!
