			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you create a page or a post and concentrate on just <strong>one keyword, <a href="http://www.google.com/adsense">Adsense</a></strong> will try to publish ads that are directly related to that keyword (or key phrase).</p>
<p>To help Adsense detect what keyword you&#8217;re talking about, you therefore should have them<br />
- in the title of a post,<br />
- in the H1 heading and<br />
- a couple of times in the text, preferably close at the top, in the middle and near the bottom of your content.</p>
<p>Emphasizing one keyword occurrence by making it bold or italic may be very helpful too.</p>
<p>So far, these are usual and common practices to help Adsense decide the main keywords it should publish ads for. But there&#8217;s more!  Read on.</p>
<p>Of course, to get the most out of your Adsense income, you must first <a href="http://www.webuildyourblog.com/1655/">find the best Google Adsense ads</a>.<br />
But once you&#8217;ve found them, you must also put full emphasis on keywords you&#8217;ve selected. And that&#8217;s exactly what Google Adsense allows you to do using&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Section Targeting</strong><br />
This feature allows you to enhance your ads results. In their Adsense Help department, Google explains this as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you&#8217;d like us to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to your site&#8217;s content. By providing us with your suggestions, you can assist us in improving your ad targeting. We recommend that only those familiar with HTML attempt to implement section targeting.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Positive Section Targeting</strong><br />
Basically there are two ways to tell Adsense what to look for: the part you consider important and the part of your page you consider irrelevant.</p>
<p>To tell Adsense about the important part of your content, just add this line of HTML comment to your content:</p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); padding-left: 15px;">&lt;!–google_ad_section_start—&gt;</p>
<p>and end that section with this line: </p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); padding-left: 15px;">&lt;!–google_ad_section_end—&gt;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re showing Adsense ads on each post, I would suggest placing the first line above the post heading. Look for a line in single.php or index.php that starts with:</p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); padding-left: 15px;">&lt;?php if (have_posts()</p>
<p>and place the google_ad_section_start <em>just below</em> that line, because the next line will show your post headers.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/pics/keywords-adsense.png" alt="Keywords Adsense" title="Keywords Adsense" width="500" height="150" /></div>
<p>Placing the &#8216;end&#8217; tag strongly depends on your blog content. I prefer to place it before my comment section, but you may decide to put it below that or even somewhere else. Test which placement does well for your blog.</p>
<p><strong>Downplay Keyword Adsense Targeting</strong><br />
Equally, you can show Adsense which parts of your site are irrelevant for keywords by adding this HTML comment to your template file:</p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); padding-left: 15px;">&lt;!&#8211; google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) &#8211;&gt;</p>
<p>and end that section again with </p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); padding-left: 15px;">&lt;!–google_ad_section_end—&gt;</p>
<p>Again, where you put these HTML statements is up to you, but I use it at the start of my sidebar and end at the bottom of the source code of each post (at the end of the footer), because that&#8217;s the part of my pages that isn&#8217;t interesting when it comes to <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/search-engine-optimization/" target="_blank" title="search engine optimization">search engine optimization</a> or keywords.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a new <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/af/cl.php?id=79" rel="nofollow"><strong>Clickbank Adsense plugin</strong></a> available for Wordpress.</p>
<p>It shows recommended Clickbank products, closely related to the keywords of your blog posts. And the links carry your Clickbank ID.</p>
<p>There are many ways to monetize your blog.<br />
If you have thousands and thousands of readers, selling ads is a great solution.</p>
<p>But for many, many others, one of the best ways to generate money from your blog is <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/affiliate-marketing/" target="_blank" title="affiliate marketing">affiliate marketing</a>. If you write valuable posts, you&#8217;ll probably get the highest clicks.</p>
<p>That is, IF you use some form of <strong>contextual advertising</strong>. Which means you have to closely relate your promotions to the content of your posts.<br />
Therefore your posts should contain solid and usable content in addition to the soft, integrated sales pitch. Write as if you were talking to a friend so that it doesn&#8217;t come across as too sales-y.</p>
<p>Adsense comes to mind as one of the most simple solutions. But unless your Google Adsense income rocks, chances are you probably earn cents per click (I found the appropriate text Google Adcents somewhere).</p>
<p>Promoting Clickbank products is another easy way, only&#8230;<br />
&#8230;how do you find products suitable in your blog posts?</p>
<p>Thanks to the Clickbank Adsense plugin that problem is solved, so you can now utilize <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/af/cl.php?id=78" rel="nofollow">Clickbank</a>, one of the biggest affiliate networks on the Internet.</p>
<p>This plugin will use your post tags as keywords to display targeted affiliate products from the Clickbank marketplace.<br />
You also have total control how the ads will show on your blog and how many of them. And you can custom color code the ads to make them blend in with your blog design.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t use tags in one or more of your posts, the plugin will use a predefined keywords list. You can create this list inside the plugin settings tab of your WordPress admin panel. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/images/clickbank-adsense-plugin1.png" alt="Clickbank Adsense Plugin" title="Clickbank Adsense Plugin" width="464" height="341" /></p>
<p>Look at the bottom of this post under &#8216;Recommended Products&#8217;. That&#8217;s the result of this Clickbank Adsense plugin.</p>
<p>You will need WordPress 2.7 or newer to install this Clickbank plugin on your server. The plugin won&#8217;t work on blogs hosted by WordPress.com. You need a self hosted blog.</p>
<p>This is important: your blog is your castle. YOU get to decide which content to put on it and YOU get to keep your ad revenue.<br />
That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s more effective to promote affiliate products on your blog rather than any other form of monetization. Affiliate commissions have a much higher payout!</p>
<p>By the way, this <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/af/cl.php?id=79" rel="nofollow">Clickbank Adsense plugin</a> has an affiliate program, so you&#8217;ll be able to recoup your investment with just two sales. I&#8217;m using my affiliate link in this post! <img src='http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Check it out. You should be able to make some money with this plugin.<br />
Let me know what you think.<br />

So, when <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Bryan_Supe">Bryan Supe</a>, an EzineArticles.com Expert Author, contacted me, suggesting to include a guest post from him that would benefit my readers, I read it immediately.</p>
<p>I think his contribution will be very useful for a lot of bloggers, so that&#8217;s what you can read below. I&#8217;ll let Bryan do the talking.<br />
Enjoy!</p>
<p align="center">&#8212;</p>
<p>So, you have a blog and you write in it but you have seen no results?</p>
<p>This is a common problem among millions of bloggers. Some people don&#8217;t mind though because they are not trying to make money from their blog. It is those that are trying to make money online that get frustrated. In order to make money from a blog you need traffic.</p>
<p>Here are some tips to get tons of traffic to your blog so you can make some online money.</p>
<div align="center">

<p><strong>1. Make a quality post to your blog every day.</strong><br />
Why would people keep visiting a blog if nothing ever changes and there is no new information on it? They wouldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p><strong>2. Join in conversation on other blogs.</strong><br />
Leave useful comments and link back to your blog. Of course, do this in a category that is related to your blog.</p>
<p><strong>3. Let your readers post comments on your posts.</strong><br />
Not only will this create more traffic but you will learn about your writing and what your readers are looking for. If you give your readers what they want they will keep coming back to your blog for a long time.</p>
<p><strong>4. Find forums that are related to your blog topic.</strong><br />
Make a link in your signature file that points back to your blog. Give something away to people who visit your blog. This will make people more willing to click on your blog link.</p>
<p><strong>5. Submit articles about your blog.</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/services/complete-article-marketing/" target="_blank" title="Article marketing">Article marketing</a> is very effective. In the resource box of your article include a link back to your blog. The more articles you write the more traffic you will get.</p>
<p>The best thing you can do is have a plan.<br />
For example, comment on 5 blogs per day. Write 10 articles per day. Participate and make 5 posts in forums each day. That should take you about 1-2 hours per day and will get you some very good traffic.</p>
<p>Here is my favorite tip:</p>
<p><strong>6. Capture email addresses.</strong><br />
Here is why this will get you more traffic.  Once you have someones email address you can have pre written autoresponder messages loaded.  Now that you have their information you can email them anytime you want.</p>
<p>I know that when I send an email to my list I get at least 500 clicks or more because people are interested in what I have to say.  It doesn&#8217;t take long to start building a list and if you are not then you are missing out on huge traffic and money.</p>
<p>If you do nothing else then at least start building a list of subscribers.  No matter what your niche is, it is very profitable to have a list of people who show an interested in what you are selling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just finished reading <strong>Cash Cow Workshops</strong>, written by David Preston. It&#8217;s a set of pdf files that shows you how to generate a full time income, conducting workshops for local business owners.</p>
<p>This product was created as a result of a highly popular post in the <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/af/cl.php?id=94">Warrior</a> forum that I&#8217;ve talked about before in <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/2008/11/free-products-opportunities/">Free Products And Opportunities</a>.</p>
<p>Cash Cow Workshops is an outstanding product.<br />
These workshops will generate money, but their main goal is to pick up web development clients on the back-end. And the main factor of that development will be as simple as list building. </p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/pics/workshops-cash-cows.png" alt="Cash Cow Workshops" width="345" height="193" title="Workshops that turn into cash cows" /></p>
<p>While reading the modules, I found this a very do-able way to <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/af/cl.php?id=59" rel="nofollow">set up a huge business</a>. Even in difficult times like now, because it will save local business owners advertising money and bring them more profits. HUGE benefits to promote your business.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let speaking in public scare you, because David has that problem covered too by just outsourcing the workshops that you put together.</p>
<p>The goal of these workshops is to honestly tell business owners how to run their <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/" target="_blank" title="online business">online business</a> more effectively. You may be surprised how easy this will be.</p>
<p>Apart from the introduction, there are 7 modules that discuss how to conduct these workshops. They are really easy to read and follow. They don&#8217;t give an exact step-by-step instruction, but discuss the main key components which is more than enough to get you going. Here&#8217;s what they&#8217;re about:</p>
<ol>
<li>Selecting your location for the workshops</li>
<li>How to setup the workshops</li>
<li>Workshop content</li>
<li>The hidden closing technique that works every time</li>
<li>The initial meeting with the business owner</li>
<li>Setting up your own outsourcing network</li>
<li>Increasing your volume through demand</li>

<p>As I wrote above, this product shows you exactly what you need to do in order to start cashing in on your local business market. It gives you all the guidance and swift kicks you need to capitalize on this incredible market.<br />
Local businesses are really struggling today. Through this course you&#8217;ll learn how to help them cut their expenses, increase their profits and pay you well in the process.</p>
<p>I think the main problem applying all this information is to convince yourself that it really is that easy and that YOU are the expert in this matter. You&#8217;re clients aren&#8217;t, in fact they just don&#8217;t know how to do business online. All they do is put out a billboard on the Net. They just don&#8217;t have time to learn how to do this properly and then apply all the information. They rather spend their advertising budget on you if you can show them how to use it effectively. And you can!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In these difficult times, many people fear the near future, so in the past few weeks, I&#8217;ve sent some great opportunities to my lists in order to help survive recession times.</p>
<p>Since the name of this blog starts with &#8216;Affordable&#8217;, I didn&#8217;t promote any high ticket items. Instead, I showed some free and a few very cheap ways to make money immediately. All I had in mind is to help these scared people to survive this recession.</p>
<p>That may have been a mistake on my part, because the cheaper the solution, the more INcredible the opportunity is regarded upon. Perceived value, you know!<br />
The result however is, that high ticket items, that are believed to be good and helpful, are out of range of many while at the same time the cheap solutions are put aside as being unbelievable or unrealistic.<br />
Thus&#8230; nothing happens and that definitely is the wrong way to survive a recession!</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/pics/survive-recession.jpg" alt="Survive Recession" title="How To Survive Recession" width="460" height="218" /><br />

<p>You see, there were many people took me up on my offers and took action, happy to have another opportunity to make money online.</p>
<p>But many were complaining too. They just don&#8217;t believe they CAN make money using something as simple as, let&#8217;s say, flipping websites or private label content. </p>
<p>Or they tell me is that it&#8217;s a dangerous approach where you can lose a lot of money.</p>
<p>Or that it is too difficult or -the best one&#8230;- that you just can&#8217;t compete with the &#8216;big&#8217; guys.</p>
<p>Whiners!</p>
<p>While all these objections may be (partly) correct, most of these comments come from people who don&#8217;t take action. It may very well be that they lack the confidence to take the required steps towards making money online and if you recognize that, read on, because below is a wonderful resource to get rid of that.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s something like due diligence. A big word for something as simple as&#8230;.<br />
&#8230; use your brain, use common sense.</p>
<p>Entrepreneurs take risks. Even if you only sell a simple Ebook, you&#8217;ll take the risk running into someone who buys and files a claim, thus skipping your &#8216;no questions asked&#8217; money back guarantee.<br />
Well&#8230; get over it and continue. </p>
<p>Investigate opportunities, try to estimate the risks and then determine at which point the strategy becomes too risky to continue and what your maximum loss at that point will be.<br />
Decide whether or not to do it. If you don&#8217;t, take the next opportunity.</p>
<p>Taking a risk doesn&#8217;t have to cost an arm and a leg. But if you&#8217;re not willing to spend $40 or $30 or even $10, then you will never get started. </p>
<p>One of the complaints I got from the <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/2008/11/flipping-websites/">flipping websites video</a> was that you had to pay to auction your site at Sitepoint.com.<br />
Huh? Ten bucks to sell a website is an obstacle?<br />
Left me flabbergasted.</p>
<p>Yesterday I sent out a little note to my list to buy the Master Resell Rights to some great instruction videos on <a href="http://www.dimesaledollars.com/go/ownsite/30videos " rel="nofollow" target="_blank">how to research products</a>. MANY questions are asked about that topic on any marketing forum, because it&#8217;s the most important step to promote great products. So there&#8217;s a HUGE market for this. So huge that no one can fill it on their own.<br />
Even if everyone reading this blog would buy them, you can easily sell the package to thousands of others looking for answers. It&#8217;s a cheap way to make at least some money online.</p>
<p>But it doesn&#8217;t even have to cost you money.<br />
Visit the <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/af/cl.php?id=94">Warrior</a> forum for instance. You&#8217;ll find many ideas and positive feedback there, like&#8230;</p>
<p>* <a href="http://www.<a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/af/cl.php?id=94">Warrior</a>forum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/33744-my-first-300-day.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">My First $300 Day</a><br />

<p>I&#8217;m NOT promoting any of these links above, they are just EXAMPLES. I found and quickly scanned them on the first page of the Warrior forum this morning. Haven&#8217;t really studied the whole threads.</p>
<p>And yes, people sometimes post &#8230;<br />
-about topics that are completely chewed-up like a piece of meat,<br />
-about results of thousands of dollars,<br />
-about results or ideas of just 10 dollars,<br />
-about a &#8216;Eureka&#8217; factor that has been seen thousand times before.</p>
<p>Boring maybe, but these are joyful posts by ordinary people like you and me, who TOOK ACTION! And were very happy they did. That is the difference between whiners and earners.</p>
<p>Take the last link above. Posted by Amy Bass.<br />
I don&#8217;t know Amy other than just reading her special offer in the <a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/" target="_blank">WSO section</a> of the Warrior forum. I did NOT buy that one, so I can not recommend it, but&#8230;<br />
if you believe her story is true (and that&#8217;s something you have to find out yourself, due diligence, remember?), the she&#8217;s the one you should follow and, ultimately, buy her offer.<br />
Again, no recommendation on my part since I&#8217;m not familiar with her product, but a great example.</p>
<p>So&#8230;. if you haven&#8217;t already, WHEN are you going to take action? It&#8217;s the best way to survive any recession and make money online all the time.</p>
<p>Here are two links that I DO encourage you to check out.<br />
<a href="http://www.warriorforum.com/main-internet-marketing-discussion-forum/32589-quick-way-50k-month.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Quick Way To $50k This Month</a></p>
<p><span class="removed_link">Here&#8217;s &#8220;A Stupidly Simple Cash Cow&#8221; and it&#8217;s FREE</span></p>
<p>Study those two threads!<br />
Thoroughly!<br />
Discover the spirit, the right mind set, to do the same.<br />
It&#8217;s the ultimate recipe to survive this recession!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s NOT important WHAT plan you come up with and neither is it important HOW MUCH you intend to make when setting your goals (as long as you think big, you may start small).<br />
Just DO something to get over this recession.<br />

In today&#8217;s post he&#8217;s trying to unveil some of the outrageous claims that you often see on the Net, especially in the &#8216;make money&#8217; business. It may put your mind at rest concerning this topic.</p>
<p>Here goes. Enjoy!</p>
<h1><strong>Lies&#8230;Damn Lies&#8230;And Statistics</strong></h1>
<p>Hype makes the world go round. Well, at the very least, it makes the <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/" target="_blank" title="Internet marketing">Internet marketing</a> world go round. You don&#8217;t have to travel far to see it in print. It&#8217;s rampant in articles, ads, sales copy, blog posts&#8230;just about any place where the written word can be found. Each product is better than the one before it. Well, it&#8217;s time to put an end to some of these lies, half truths and everything else that makes <a href="http://1clickprofitst.com" target="_blank" title="Internet marketing">Internet marketing</a> a dirty phrase that many people look to avoid like the plague.</p>
<div align="center"><img title="Statistics and Lies" src="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/pics/lies-statistics.jpg" alt="Lies and Statistics" width="445" height="270" /><br />
<small>Photo Credit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/adrian_s/" target="_blank">waffler</a><br />
</small></div>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the biggest lies of all, take your pick. How about earnings? We constantly hear about all the money that these marketers make but how much of it do they really keep? What many people don&#8217;t realize is that when somebody says that they made $60,000 from their Adwords campaign, what they don&#8217;t tell you is that their expenses for that campaign were $55,000. When you take their net profit, it&#8217;s not really all that much money, is it. That&#8217;s why stats can be so misleading. Any stat can be displayed in a way where it looks better than what it really is.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s conversion percentage. This is a really gray area. Lots of conversion stats are plain made up. I&#8217;m not going to point any fingers but I know people who just come up with stats out of their head, figuring that nobody&#8217;s going to notice the difference anyway. Why? Because quite honestly, few people have a clue about what good conversion stats are simply because they don&#8217;t track those stats themselves. Well, I do. I&#8217;ve been tracking my stats for over 5 years and I can tell you this much&#8230;I don&#8217;t see how anybody gets 10% to 20% conversion. I&#8217;m happy with my 2% to 4% that I get on a regular basis. And yes, it does fluctuate that much.</p>
<p>Then of course there are the people who just flat out fabricate stats with great graphical programs like Photoshop. Doctoring of screen prints is a big thing. You really can&#8217;t trust them. So what I suggest to people, if they really want to convince somebody of their income is to create a video of their earnings. Videos are very difficult to fake and they&#8217;re a lot more impressive.</p>
<p>Bottom line is this. You have to be very careful about what you see and hear online. Marketers will always try to put their best foot forward, and that&#8217;s understandable. So you have to be able to discern the difference between slight exaggeration and outright lies.</p>
<p>It isn&#8217;t easy.</p>
<p>To YOUR Success,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every summer, I spend at least six weeks in Spain with my family.</p>
<p>Despite the heat, it&#8217;s a great way to pass the holidays, because life is easy.<br />
No one is in a hurry. If you can&#8217;t get things done today, there&#8217;s always tomorrow. Mañana!</p>
<p>My only connection with the Internet is the occasional landline login at a free account. Slow as dried horse manure in a sandpaper decorated sewer.</p>
<p>Which is bad for business, but good for my health. Family, friends and fun come first. I only connect if I absolutly have to.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I do care about my online bizz, so I occasionally visit the local Internet cafe, where I manage my support emails, delete all the comment spam from my blog and read the barest essentials, like newsletters from <a href="http://williecrawford.com/" target="_blank">Willie Crawford</a> and <a href="http://www.talkbiznews.com/" target="_blank">Paul Myers</a> (if you haven&#8217;t done so yet, click these links to subscribe).</p>
<p>These two <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/" target="_blank" title="marketing">marketing</a> veterans really know how to overcome slow summer sales. They send out one valuable newsletter issue after the other.</p>
<p>Which &#8216;unfortunately&#8217; reminds me of my birthday&#8230;</p>
<p>Unfortunately, because at my age (well over fifty), there&#8217;s an increasing inner urge to forget about celebrating my birthday. As soon as the subject threatens to emerge, I start talking about more important issues of life than trivial, earthly ceremonies.</p>
<p><img title="Hat and Goggles" src="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/images/paul-myers.jpg" alt="Paul Myers" width="91" height="125" align="right" /><br />
Reading Paul&#8217;s TalkBiz News puts me back on my feet again. He always &#8216;celebrates&#8217; his birthday offering some specials to his subscribers containing tons of value!</p>
<p>And his birthday is one day before mine!</p>
<p>I always send Paul my congratulations, so that he doesn&#8217;t get the impression that he can beat me in this respect. You sometimes have to put things into the right perspective. Nevertheless he keeps celebrating.</p>
<p>This year, Paul decided to offer the JV Manager for $37 instead of the usual $97. Great value, but there are other programs that do lots of the same, like <a href="http://www.anownsite.com/cgi-bin/u.cgi?rap">Rapid Action Profits</a>, which I prefer. Nevertheless, a super offer.</p>
<p>But then he went completely bonkers.</p>
<p>Paul offered one of the greatest ebooks for beginning and intermediate copywriters available on the Net: Bob Serling&#8217;s &#8220;Power <a href="http://definition-of-leadership.com/on-line/power-copywriting" target="_blank" title="Copywriting">Copywriting</a> for the Internet.&#8221;</p>
<p>For only $27 while the normal price is $147!</p>
<p>I had my copy already, but DANG!, this was outrageous. I mean, that&#8217;s how you overcome slow summersales, making offers your customers simply can&#8217;t refuse, but really, that price is way too low. Somehow this insanity has to stop.</p>
<p>And all this because he turned fifty. In his own words: &#8220;The Big 5-0.&#8221;</p>
<p>From my own experience I know turning 50 is a milestone. Many deny it, but you just have to accept entering the last phase of your life. The &#8217;senior&#8217; era.<br />
Nothing to really worry about, yet many happy volunteers around you will cheerfully remind you about the fact you&#8217;re getting old.</p>
<p>And since you are what you think your direct social environment thinks you are&#8230;<br />
(Note: the credence attached to this true law also strongly diminishes with the ages!)</p>
<p>I truly suspect that, in his immeasurable wisdom, Paul already anticipated this problem, which is why he&#8217;s always wearing a black hat and dark, wide rimmed glasses.</p>
<p>HA!<br />
You have to do better than that!</p>
<p>FIFTY huh? Congratulations Paul. FIFTY is a great age. Life really  starts at FIFTY! I know. At FIFTY you start using senior coupons. The baby booming industry is targeting FIFTY+ years old people!</p>
<p>Maybe that works.</p>
<p>Willie&#8217;s next. Easier to crack. He&#8217;s not wearing a black hat and dark goggles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I present another guest post by famous Internet marketer Steven Wagenheim.<br />
It won&#8217;t be his last one, as Steven is a prolific writer. That&#8217;s how he generates tons of traffic to his sites where he offers great solutions to common problems.<br />
Here&#8217;s today&#8217;s article, called</p>
<h2>The Real Truth About Making Money Online</h2>
<p>One of the things that I get a chuckle over is all the hype and misinformation that gets circulated around the Internet when it comes to making a living online.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you know exactly what I&#8217;m talking about&#8230;the sales pages that promise you the moon, the get rich quick schemes, the whole mess. It&#8217;s enough to make you sick.</p>
<p>Well, this article is going to reveal some truths about making money online. You may not enjoy hearing them, but if you&#8217;re going to have any chance of surviving in this jungle, you might want to make a note of some of these.</p>
<p>For starters, there is no quick way to get rich online.</p>
<p>Starting and running a business takes time and it takes a lot of work. The few rare exceptions to this rule were total flukes and most likely happened because somebody came up with a once in a lifetime idea that just happened to catch fire.</p>
<p>The chances of something like this happening are slim to none. Most businesses take time to establish and you&#8217;re not going to see a substantial income for many months.</p>
<p>Another myth I want to destroy is that you can make a good living online without knowing what you&#8217;re doing.</p>
<p>Sure, if you&#8217;ve got the money to just go out and hire everybody you need to run your business, I guess you could be dumber than a stump and make a go of it. </p>
<p>But in most cases, you&#8217;re pretty much on your own. And this means understanding a number of things including product creation, <a href="http://definition-of-leadership.com/on-line/power-copywriting" target="_blank" title="copywriting">copywriting</a>, ad writing, article writing, web site creation and the list goes on and on.</p>
<p>Most people don&#8217;t realize this, but there are tons of skills required to run a successful <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingtoday.com/" target="_blank" title="online business">online business</a>.</p>
<p>The last one I want to go over is that all you have to do is put up a web site and the money will come pouring in.</p>
<p>Contrary to popular belief, just having a web site doesn&#8217;t guarantee you an income. The Internet is a huge place and the chances of somebody finding your web site are slim to none if you don&#8217;t promote it properly. There are many ways to promote a business online. Some are more effective than others but the bottom line is simple. Without actively promoting your site, nobody is going to see it.</p>
<p>There are of course other truths about making a living online. In my signature is a link to a report that goes over many of them. The point is, unless you understand what you&#8217;re up against, you&#8217;re not going to be prepared for what you&#8217;re going to encounter along the way to those easy riches.</p>
<p>Oh yeah&#8230;that&#8217;s another one.</p>
<p>To YOUR Success,</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s today&#8217;s called:</p>
<p><strong>Home Business Startup Tips</strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Lots of folks want to earn a living or at least a part time living online. They think it&#8217;s easy money. Well, contrary to popular opinion, it is anything but easy. However, with proper preparation, you can actually start a home business that will be profitable for many years to come. This article is going to cover some of my favorite startup tips.</p>
<p>Right at the top of the list is picking a business that you&#8217;re going to enjoy doing. Think about this. You have a job that you probably hate. So why would you want to do something at home that you also hate? If you have no interest in the business you&#8217;re getting into, you&#8217;re not going to do a very good job at running it and you&#8217;ll ultimately end up failing. So make sure you pick something that you enjoy.</p>
<p>Just as important is to pick something that has a demand. This is something that I learned the hard way. My first attempts at this were horrible because I was trying to sell something that people just didn&#8217;t care about. There is an old saying that goes something like this. &#8220;You can&#8217;t sell oxygen to a dead man.&#8221; As obvious as that statement is, it&#8217;s also true about home businesses. You can&#8217;t sell something that people don&#8217;t want.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also important that you create a <a href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/2008/06/how-to-create-business-plans/" target="_blank">business plan</a>. You don&#8217;t want to just go into something blindly. You need to decide how much you&#8217;re going to spend on your business and make a budget. You should have some idea of how much money you want to earn each month. If you have no goals, how can you know if your business is succeeding or not? Goals are absolutely critical if you&#8217;re going to have some idea of where you&#8217;re heading.</p>
<p>Finally, you want to make sure that you get all the knowledge that you can about how to actually run your business. There are so many things that are required when it comes to running a home business. You need to understand product creation, <a href="http://definition-of-leadership.com/on-line/power-copywriting" target="_blank" title="copywriting">copywriting</a>, advertising and so many other things. Even if you don&#8217;t write your own sales copy, it&#8217;s important that you understand something about the process and at least be able to recognize good sales copy.</p>
<p>These items are just some basics. The whole process is really a lot more complex but this should get you started.</p>
<p>You can have a very successful home business as long as you go through the process one step at a time and make sure you cover all the bases.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a great opportunity for you to make a lot of money.<br />
No hype. Facts.<br />
I&#8217;m doing this myself, only on a limited scale, because I also have other businesses to attend.<br />
Let me explain.</p>
<p>Go to Google and enter the name of the place you live in (or a nearby one) and see which small and medium sized local businesses come up. Click on their websites and explore them.</p>
<p>What do you see?</p>
<p>Are these sites nice and do they look great?<br />
Do they use the title tag well?<br />
It the message compelling?<br />
Would you buy there, based on their site?<br />
Do they catch email addresses to create and grow a list?</p>
<p>And, most important of all:</p>
<p>Do you think the sites <strong>sell extra products or services</strong>?</p>
<p>I bet that the vast majority of the sites you look at can be improved. Some drastically!<br />
Am I right?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to make a statement like that, because:</p>
<ul>
<li>the average local business owner is busy, way too busy running his/her local business	 and&#8230;</li>
<li>the average local business owner has absolute no idea how to profit from the Internet as an extra and possibly large income source.</li>
</ul>
<p>And by mentioning these two facts I just described a HUGE problem and an amazing opportunity for you.</p>
<div><img title="Helping Local Businesses" src="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/pics/local-business.jpg" alt="A Local Business" width="460" height="300" /><br />
<small>Photo Credit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexcastella/" target="_blank">Alex Castellá</a></small></div>
<p>You see, many local business owners struggle to keep their head above the water. Most of them are quite smart, but still, keeping their business running &#8211; for lots of them their business is running them &#8211; takes almost all of their time.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why they simply can&#8217;t find the time to educate themselves and learn about the advantages of an online presence.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where YOU come in.<br />
All you need to know is how to create a great website.<br />
And some basic SEO knowledge about how to use long tail keywords and get back links, as geographical marketing of local brick and mortar businesses is easy&#8230; competition is low and the potential for profit is enormous.</p>
<p>&#8220;But&#8230; they already HAVE a website Case, you just sent me there&#8221;.</p>
<p>Right!<br />
And I repeat: how many of these sites are making money online? Huh?</p>
<p>These website owners may have thrown away a ton of money on websites that might look pretty, but never delivered any significant sales. In fact many web design companies are charging anywhere between $5,000 and $20,000 or MORE for fancy web design that does squat. Put simply they&#8217;re ripping off business owners.</p>
<p>Which would you rather pay?<br />
$20,000 for a fancy sign that might bring you $500 in sales a year or $10,000 a year for a part time girl who stands on the sidewalk and brings in customers who spend $50,000 a year?<br />
That&#8217;s the difference between a fancy website and a “direct response” website.</p>
<p>Ask just that one question to the local business owner: &#8220;How many sales do your website generate in a month?&#8221; Don&#8217;t be surprised by the answer!</p>
<p>YOU can help them, I mean really HELP them. By generating online sales, while at the same time YOU make lots and lots of money.</p>
<p>And I can help you achieve that.</p>
<p>Because there&#8217;s this great report, one of the best I&#8217;ve read, written by Andrew Cavanagh called &#8220;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.affordable-internet-marketing.com/af/cl.php?id=36" target="_blank">Offline Gold For The Online Marketer</a>&#8220;.</p>
