On Saturday I finally got a chance to go shopping, I picked up a few presents for birthdays that I know are coming up and I started my shopping for Independence Day that is coming up on Friday, July 4, 2008.

The children were gone on a trip that they had planned a while ago with a few of their friends, so my husband and I had a chance to spend some time alone for a change.

We actually had a chance to go out to breakfast together (something that we don’t get to do too often) take a long walk, take in a movie and we had a chance to relax just a little bit for a change.

We thought we were going to be able to have the whole day to ourselves, but N-o-o-o, that would have been too easy and just could not happen. As luck would have it, we had friends from out of town to show up at our door out of the blue to surprise us.

Well, that ended our short get away time.

We ended up having a great time with our friends, talking and catching up on what had been going on with them since we last saw one another and catching up on what had been going on with a lot of other mutual friends that we have.

We took them out to tour the city and to do some shopping and sight seeing and we treated them to dinner as well.

Overall it was a very good day, but the best was yet to come.

Since it was Saturday, they wanted to see what it was like to play a lottery ticket. They had come such a long way and the lottery drawing was the same night. I don’t usually play the lottery but I decided to play just for the fun of it.

They purchased the regular lottery tickets, and I, (being the odd, curious and adventurous one), purchased five $1 scratch-off tickets.

Later, when we got back home, we continued to talk and catch up on all the things that had been going on and we started making plans for things that we know are coming up.

Later, my friend, who is always calling me the lucky one, was more anxious than I was for me to scratch off the tickets that I had purchased. So, I started to scratch them off.

I purchased 3 different kinds of tickets and there were multiple ways to win on each one.

After I had scratched off the first 2, I asked her if she wanted to scratch off the rest of them. She said yes, so I gave them to her to scratch off for me and I left the room.

I didn’t think anything else about it, so after I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, I asked them to excuse me for a moment while I went to my bedroom to change clothes.

Before I could finish changing clothes, I heard a lot of commotion going on and then I heard her and her husband start to laugh. It was a good hearty laugh and I had no clue as to what they were laughing about.

I heard them call my husband’s name. They were all talking and the next thing I knew, I heard my husband say W-H-A-T? You have got to be kidding me. He then started to laugh as well.

I finished changing clothes and went back out to see what was going on.

They all just looked at me, shook their heads, shrugged their shoulders and chuckled. Then my friend smiled and said, “You did it again. You always do it. I don’t know how, but you always do.”

I didn’t know what in the world she was talking about so I said “I always do what–What did I do?”

Then the three of them said, “You won on one of your scratch off tickets.”

I didn’t think too much about it because people are always winning a few dollars here and there on the scratch off tickets, so I said “Oh, I did? What did I win?

She then said “What did you win? Look at this ticket!” She then handed me the ticket.

I looked at the ticket and at first I didn’t understand what all of the fuss was about because I didn’t see anything too spectacular about the ticket, and I certainly didn’t see anything on it that matched.

T-H-E-N, I read the explanation of what everything meant on the ticket.

You see nothing matched on the ticket because on that particular ticket nothing had to match. It was one of those tickets that paid off if you found a certain symbol on the ticket and there were only 5 of those tickets printed out of tens of thousands of tickets.

Can you imagine my surprise when I found out that I had purchased one of the 5 lucky tickets that paid $1000! I was floored and totally shocked.

At the start of the day, my husband and I had planned to spend a quiet day and evening together and weren’t planning to go back out for the rest of the day once we got back home from the movies. Boy, am I glad that we did.

So, even though there are times when you want to have a day to yourself, don’t get upset when you have guests that drop in on you unannounced. It just might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Oh, by the way, in case you are wondering, they weren’t as lucky and none of them won anything in the Big lottery.

I know you’ve heard many times that to be successful at Internet Marketing you have to have a list. You can build your list in many ways but the quickest and most effective way is by writing articles.

Many ezine publishers and website owners are constantly looking for new and up to date information for their publications and web pages. Article writing is the perfect way to provide that information and build an opt-in list.

A lot of new and some experienced Internet Marketers get confused about the obvious use of the opt-in list. The main objective is not just to build a list of names and email addresses. Its purpose is to help you build your business by providing you with a valuable list of names and email addresses that are of good quality.

Millions of people search the internet daily for numerous reasons. The majority of them are usually looking for information on one or a variety of subjects that they just want to know more about.

Here are a few things that you should consider when writing articles to build your business:

1. Find out what type of information people are looking for and provide it for them. This can be done easily by asking the members who are currently on you list what they want.

If you don’t currently have a list you can always visit different forums to find out what people are asking for.

2. Keep in contact with the members on your opt-in list and get to know them. Obviously, if they are subscribing to your list, and staying around, they are interested in what you have to say and you have something in common.

You can ask them to recommend you to their friends, family or co-workers who have the same interests that you have and they can help you build your business.

3. Be careful not to frustrate the members on your list by constantly providing too much information by email too frequently. Though they may like to get email, try not to send too many emails too often.

You can provide the best quality information there is but if you over do it some of your members will opt-out and leave you because of information overload.

When you write articles and submit them to article directories in most cases it is free. It is one of the easiest ways to drive traffic to your website, get free advertising and build your opt-in list all at the same time.

Make your articles key-word rich about your website topic and strive to keep the word count between 400 and 600 words long.

There are times that they will be longer but make sure you check the article directories rules as different article directories have different rules about article length.

Always include a resource box at the bottom of your article with a little bit of information about yourself and include a link to your website.

You will soon build credibility and draw more targeted traffic to your website as your articles are read by others and they begin to click on the link to your website and opt-in to your list.

You will also start to get noticed by search engines and get established as other website owners begin to publish your articles in their ezines, to their list and on their websites.

So, to build your opt-in list quickly and drive traffic to your website, write good quality articles and submit them to the article directories often.

Angela

Mr. Jim Cockrum

Jim Cockrum is someone else that I have admired for quite a while. I’ve read his infamous eBook Silent Sales Machine Hiding on eBay. It is legendary and still a best seller today. Like the others, I also met Jim quite a while ago.

His membership site My Silent Team was another one of those that I joined for the information and to keep up to date when I had to travel back and forth for months at a time.

As with John Thornhill’s membership site, I found such a wealth of information there until it was just as mind boggling.

I love to visit this website. There is so much valuable and helpful information there. A lot of times, while I’m at that site trying to absorb some of the information from the different areas there, I find myself staying there for hours and losing track of time. It’s just that good.

He actually has EXPERT INTERNET MARKETERS contributing to his site. He surrounds you with lots of professional in many areas of the internet marketing field. They are there freely giving you their best and the benefit of their experiences along with sharing all types of invaluable information with you. Information that is always current and up to date.

Thank you, Jim. The information that you constantly keep pouring out on your site helps all of us to keep up to date with what is going on in the industry.

Mr. Daniel Sumner

Daniel…Oh…Daniel, I know I must have been a pain in your…you know what.

Daniel Sumner is another one that I met through John Thornhill.

I needed a ton of technical help in the beginning when I first started in John’s coaching program. The program wasn’t hard at all. It was my lack of technical knowledge that caused me a few challenges and slowed me down for a moment. It almost stopped me in my tracks from the very beginning.

The challenge had absolutely nothing to do with the program. It was a third party product that caused the issue.

I contacted Daniel and even though it was a third party issue, he took on the challenge of resolving that issue for me.

He was determined to resolve the issue and was relentless in working diligently to resolve it quickly just to make sure that I would not fall behind in the program. He took me by the hand, walked me through the process and stuck by me until the issue was resolved. The issue was resolved very quickly.

What can you say about someone who would go out of their way to give you that kind of support except…

Thanks a million Daniel.

I know I couldn’t have and wouldn’t have been able to even get started in the program and definitely would have fallen w-a-a-a-y behind if it wasn’t for your help and quick thinking to resolve a challenge I faced right from the start.

Daniel is not only brilliant in the technical field, he is also excellent at writing his own eBooks and running his own blog. I have read his eBook The Powerseller Diaries. It has some great information that anyone could use to help them try to obtain the status that he has obtained. Check it out NOW!

While you’re at it, why don’t you go on over and check out his blog site Dan Sumner Blog. I have already checked it out and found it to be a “good read” and full of very useful information as well.

Mr. Lee McIntyre

I joined Lee McIntyre in 2007. I was really impressed by how quickly he established himself as an expert in the internet marketing field. Not many people can get that well established in such a short time.

Of all the people that I have acknowledged and given thanks to on this blog, I identify the most with Lee. I know first hand exactly how he feels when it comes to writing.

I too find that writing is easy and comes naturally as long as I am writing for someone else. But when it is your own product that you are trying to create, it is not that easy at all.

Lee, I totally agree with you on that point.

Just like you, I have written many newsletters, flyers, booklets, speeches, term papers, articles, resumes, etc., you name it. However, when it came to creating and writing my own eBook, I found that it wasn’t half as easy as writing all of that material that I had written for other people for years. As a matter of fact, it scared the h*** out of me.

SO…I know exactly how you feel. It’s your baby (so to speak) and you strive to make it perfect because you want it to be accepted, especially when you know that it is going to be viewed by the public. You get to a point where you almost begin to doubt yourself.

Believe me when I say that you are definitely not alone on that one. I write all the time, yet, I came down with a serious case of writer’s block when I first started to write my own eBook! I had to slap myself around a little, pull my head back together and make myself get over it in order for me to move forward.

Your eBooks Auction Profits Unleashed and Auction Secret Profits are phenomenal and were very helpful. They are “must read” information for anyone who wants to learn how to grow their list quickly and get more traffic to their website without having to go through all the struggles that many of us have had to go through.

Thank you so much for sharing that valuable information with us.

I personally can’t thank you enough for sharing your story. It touched, inspired and helped me tremendously. It let me know that I was not alone in the way that I was feeling and that I could get past my fears and write my own eBook too.

Mr. Randy Smith

I joined Randy Smith in 2007 and was very impressed with his work and with what I saw on his website.

I especially like his approach to writing sales copy. He actually makes the whole process so simple. His method would make the newest and greenest kid on the block look like a professional.

When Randy launched his software SalesLetter ABC, I purchased it immediately and was more than impressed with it. It helped me a great deal as I didn’t have a clue as to how to write a professional sales page.

His software showed me step by step what I needed to do to make my sales pages look more professional. As if that wasn’t enough, Randy was so kind and even gave me a few pointers on how I could improve my sales page even more.

If you have been struggling and if you just want to know how to write a professional looking sales page, don’t walk, RUN over there and check out Randy’s software SalesLetter ABC, you will be glad that you did.

Randy, your software is so spectacular and will more than likely revolutionize the way all of us write our sales pages from now on.

I’ve also checked out Randy’s website Randolfsmith.com and found it to be outstanding. Why don’t you do the same and TAKE A LOOK AT IT NOW!

Thank you, Randy. You product is so amazing and will certainly make it a lot easier for all of us to write more professional looking sales pages.

*************************************************************

That’s it for the the internet marketers that I admire, for now.

If you have been reading my blog, I want you to know that all of the internet marketers that I have acknowledged and thanked, I have personally purchased and used their products and/or used their services and dealt with almost all of them on a more personal level.

These are the people that I personally consider as “MY INTERNET FAMILY.”

I have found all of them to be trustworthy, honest and very upstanding people that can and will not only stand behind their products, but if you choose to make them your friend, confidant, adviser, mentor, etc., they will definitely stand by and be there for you too.

If you are interested in becoming an internet marketer, want to know step by step how to write and publish an eBook from start to finish, AND need a mentor/coach and professional eBook writer/internet marketer who will take you by the hand and walk you through the whole process, you don’t have to look any further than the man himself, Mr. John Thornhill.

GO RIGHT NOW to his website, (HURRY, DON’T WAIT) John Thornhill Coaching and sign up to be notified when his next coaching program starts.

If you miss out on this and you are truly interested in learning how to become an internet marketer, want to know how to write your own eBook the right way, and want to be taught by not only an expert but THE EXPERT himself, you will be missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime. You WILL live to regret it later.

Well, that’s it for now.

I am currently putting the finishing touches on my eBook, look for it to be published very soon!

Until next time.

The Second Way To Make Money Using Private Label Rights is to:

Write Articles for Content

It might be hard to believe, with all of the free information available on the internet, but some webmasters and other writers will actually pay you for your content!

There are webmasters and others out there who will pay you to write articles for them. One of the most common types of content requested is for “How To” Information.

As most people need information on how to solve a problem or situation, it is easy to see why that type of information would be in demand.

If you want to find out how many webmasters or individuals request that type of service, just go to Google and type in “get paid to write articles” or “get paid for content” and see what your search results will show.

There are numerous article directories and other services to choose from. If you should decide to pursue a career in writing articles or other content for a living, remember to follow their rules because some companies and individuals require that the content be exclusive while others don’t.

When you submit content to them, make sure that you strictly adhere to their guidelines. Some of them have a certain minimum and maximum word length requirement, while others don’t.

In addition to getting paid to write and post your own content, if you are good at writing articles; you can outsource your services as an article writer.

One thing that is very popular right now and has been for a while is Private Label Rights.

When a person has “Unrestricted” Private Label Rights to articles or other material that was written by someone else, there are unlimited possibilities with what they can do with the content.

They can leave it ‘as is” and place their name on it as the author. They can break it down into web content for their blog, re-write the material, break it down into other articles, sell it to someone else and so forth.

In other words, they can do whatever they want to do with the material just as if they had written it themselves. They can even compile a bunch of articles together to make an eBook or a physical book if they choose to do so.

SO…if you are good at writing articles, you can make a very lucrative income by writing articles from your Unrestricted Private Label Rights material and then sell them with Unrestricted Private Label Rights.

Another unique thing that is so great about article writing is that you are not limited to one subject or one area. You can become an article writer in one particular niche or you can target article marketers and webmasters in several different niches at once.

There are no restrictions on the number of niches that you can go after or the number of people that you can write articles for.

You can also contact webmasters by phone or by email to let them know that you are an article writer to see if they might be interested in hiring you to write articles for them. Or you can simply let them and others know that you are an article writer who sells Unrestricted Private Label Rights articles. It’s up to you.

Angela

One of the best ways to make money using “Unrestricted” Private Label Rights Products is to “Create Your Own Products.”

This is one of those things that so many people are afraid of. But it is quite easy if you use Unrestricted Private Label Rights Products.

All you have to do is purchase one or a few eBooks with Unrestricted Private Label Rights, edit them and make them your own. Or you can purchase Unrestricted Private Label Rights Articles, put them together and make them into an eBook of your own.

When you acquire access to material with Unrestricted Private Label Rights, it means that you can do practically anything that you want to do with the material.

It’s very easy to create your own product. You can create your own eBook the lazy way in a matter of minutes.

All you have to do is purchase an eBook with Private Label Rights (they are fairly cheap), remove the authors name, place your name on it as the author, and just like that, you have your very own product!

Since you can change the content of a Private Label Rights eBook any way that you wish, the possibilities are endless as to what you can do with them.

Here are just a few:

You can personalize an Unrestricted Private Label Rights eBook and make it unique to you simply by changing the outline around in it. To make a larger eBook, combine the contents of 2 Private Label Rights eBooks together to make it one eBook.

Use the outline of the original eBook, change it around however you wish, then add more content to it by combining it with the content of the second eBook. You can change the information around in the second eBook as well.

However, if you want to make it totally unique to you, then edit the content of the whole eBook.

Always strive to make sure that you are providing good, solid information. You can research the topic, if necessary, to make sure that you are providing solid information.

Don’t forget to fix any spelling and grammatical errors to make it a more polished and professional product.

You may be asking yourself — how do I choose a topic for my eBook?

You can get your topics from places such as forums, Yahoo Groups, Social networking Groups, MySpace and other online groups as a good place to start.

Again, make sure you have your link in your signature file.

Another thing that you would want to do when you create your own product is to look around for potential joint venture partners.

Joint Venture partners are other network marketers who (for a percentage of the sale) will help you promote your eBook by promoting it to their email list.

By offering them 50/50 or 60/40 split of any sales they bring in, you can make a lot of money, especially if they have a large mailing list. Just send them a quick email with your offer.

If you have and opt-in list (and you should) you can also offer it to your customers on that list.

Never sell yourself short. Find website owners to do joint ventures with and leave your link in your signature file when you visit the forums.

For over a month I have been a bit challenged because I am working on a project and have been unable to work on it at the speed that I want to.

I have shared with you how much I love to type and write and how I love being on the computer. I practically live on it.

Well, a little over a month ago, I had a terrible fall and ended up breaking my left elbow, fracturing my left wrist and hand and bruised my left knee. If that wasn’t enough, I also fractured my right wrist and hand. That makes for very limited use of both of my hands.

Talk about a double whammy, just when I did not need it!

That challenge may have slowed me down, but I refuse to let it get me down or stop me and I am more determined than ever to still complete the project on time.

Though I am not back 100% yet, I feel much better, I am healing well and I can type again!

It pays to stay on top of things and to stay ahead if at all possible. I say that because even though I had to slow down and was literally unable to fully use both of my hands for a little while, I was still able to stay productive.

I have a few articles that I had written ahead of time so I was still able to provide you with information by posting to my blog. Though I couldn’t type, I could peck away on the computer keyboard using just a couple of fingers. Hmm…

I also learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes you need to be slowed down and it is a good thing. It gives you a chance to regroup and a chance to sit back and take the time to reflect on some of the things that are more important in life.

During my down time, I was able to get ahead on my reading and I learned a lot more technical stuff that I need to know but probably would not have taken the time to learn right now.

However, the most joyous and fulfilling part of this whole thing is the fact that my family and I were able to spend much more quality time together.

To add to that and to my surprise, I did so much reading and research until I was able to brainstorm and now I already have an idea for my next project! How awesome is that!

So you see; if you keep a positive mental attitude and remain focused even when things seem bleak, it’s during that time when you might find that you are at your best, and if you’re not careful, you just might learn something that you never thought you would learn.

Until next time…

Mr. Dan Thompson and Mrs. Paula Brett

I met Dan Thompson and Paula Brett right after I met John Thornhill. I met both of them in John’s Planetsms forum.

Whenever I got a chance, I would go into the forum and read a lot of what was going on there to gain some insight into the new venture I was about to embark upon into the world of internet marketing. Both Dan and Paula were very helpful.

I remember a while ago, when I thought I was going to be able to start and keep going. By taking John’s advice and using his recommendations, I had acquired everything that I needed and more to get up and running.

I was puzzled by it all so I went into his forum and made a post asking for help on how to put all of the pieces together to make them work. Both Dan and Paula responded. To my surprise, I received a personal message from Paula giving me advice on what to do.

Dan’s newsletter was among the first ones that I joined very early on. I also purchased some of his software that I knew I would need once I was finally able to get started. One very key piece is Boomerang List Builder.

I purchased it when he first launched it. That software changed the way we will do eBooks forever.

I have followed the two of them on line the same as I have with John and have been overjoyed to see their progress as well.

When they launched their own web hosting site D9 Hosting, I was extremely happy for the two of them. I thought it was a brilliant idea for them to get together to bring that project to life.

As brilliant as that was, so was the launch of Paula’s eBook Operation eBook. It is nothing short of a masterpiece and a “must read” eBook for anyone who is even remotely thinking of writing their own eBook.

That just goes to show that Teamwork pays off.

Thank you, Dan and Paula.

A Niche market is a place where only a particular product can be sold. It’s like a small shop for different products. Depending upon the resell rights, you can change the titles of the products when dealing with the eBooks in a niche market.

The title of the eBook needs to be very interesting because the title helps the reader decide whether or not to read further. If the reader doesn’t find the title interesting they will not even bother to look at the rest of the content.

The Niche market is always beneficial online, and you can sell some good copies of your eBook.

After obtaining the resell rights license, you need to repackage the eBook to make it more attractive. You can change the original title and give it a different catchy title to attract more customers. BUT…make sure that whatever title you use, it reflects the contents of the eBook.

Remember, there may be thousands of people selling the same product under the same name. By giving your product a unique name it will stand out from others selling the same product.

In a Niche market, customers are usually looking for a particular product. This gives you a better chance to sell your eBook. Watch out for your competitor’s titles because a title that you like and choose might already exist.

You need to be original and creative with your titles. You can sell the same product with different names that you feel will attract the customer. Always conduct market research before you resell your eBook to see if there is a market for the eBook you want to sell.

If there is no market for your product you will not make any sales.

DO NOT sell the resell product under the same title.

Viral Profiting is when you rebrand an eBook, add different affiliate links, bonuses and other enticing incentives to it, then sell it to make multiple streams of income.

To do this, simply purchase eBooks with resell and rebranding rights and repackage them (not physically, but in terms of promoting its utility) in order to make them your own unique product. Always include links to affiliate programs that you are promoting and make sure the affiliate’s program is relevant to your eBook.

To help your eBook sell faster make sure the benefits, bonuses and other material that you include with the eBook are useful and valuable to your reader. That will encourage them to rebrand and distribute your eBook and it will help to increase your sales

The next step is to set up a website and an affiliate program, and to write a “sales letter” that promotes your product. You can visit the Clickbank Marketplace to get a few ideas about professional-looking sales pages.

This kind of marketing is a win-win situation. You make more sales because others help to promote your product by sending customers to you. When the sale is made you share a part of the profit with them.

People should find you eBook interesting enough to download it and a link for downloading you eBook should be added at the end of the page.

Don’t forget to include a message in the eBook letting your customers know that you are willing to give away the rebranding rights to your eBook if they buy your product. Your readers will be more willing to purchase and rebrand the eBook if they think it is easy to promote your product and it earns them more money.

Rebranding and reselling eBooks can help you sell many different products online at the same time. It can also help you market to websites that have “free subscription” programs.

The more links you include in your rebranded product the more money you will make. BUT…make sure the products you are promoting in a package are all related to one another in some way and don’t over do it.

To find out how well your product is selling, keep track of all downloads of your eBook on a regular basis.

Angela

Generally, when you purchase the resell rights to information products you usually get a sales pages, professional graphics and files to go along with it. You are also provided with a license that gives you the right to resell that product. The license includes information about what you can or can’t do.

For instance, a product license may state that you can only sell the product and not give it away for free. OR…it can state that you can’t sell the product for less than a certain amount of money.

Some of the advantages associated with resell rights information products are:

You Save Time:

One of the biggest advantages of buying resell right products is that you will save a lot of time because you don’t have to create a product on your own or write one single word. You will be buying an already created product and you just have to make an effort to sell it.

These products can be an ideal option if you want to quickly start selling new information products on the Internet. It will not only save you weeks or even months, (the time usually required for completing an eBook), but you can utilize this time to focus more on the sale and marketing aspects.

When the resell rights that you obtain come from a credible author or a writer who has created a trustworthy name in the market, it tends to help you attract more customers. Then when you advertise those eBooks on high traffic resources, you are bound to make good money because of the credibility of the author.

Knowing how to resell eBooks gives you the advantage and helps you make a consistent income.

You Save Money:

You can save a lot of money if you buy resell rights to an information product that has a ready to use website, product image like an eBook cover and a professional sales page. You would not have to hire a graphics, eCover or website designer for all of this.

You will also be saving money in terms of time and cost of research that you would have faced if you had to create an information product of your own.

You Receive a Professional Sales Page with a Ready Made Website:

With resell rights information products you will not only be getting a ready to use website, but you usually get a professional sales page as well that will help you convert your visitors into potential buyers. It will save you a lot of time and your chances of selling the product successfully will increase considerably.

You Keep All of the Profit:

You would own the rights to resell the information product and you get to keep 100% of the profit.

Remember, you will need a way to process payments from customers. In this context PayPal and 2Checkout are third party payment processors I use and know to be reliable, and I can recommend them.

In the same context to sell your resell rights products without having to physically sit at your computer to send them to your customers, you will need a reliable way to automate the delivery of your eBooks 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year, even while you sleep. There are several good products on the market that can do the job. However, the two that I have used and one that I still use and have found to be really good are My Digital Dispatch and EW Portal.

Lastly, you will need a reliable autoresponder for sending out email. There are several autoresponders on the market today. You want to make sure that you get the best and most reliable one possible. I use and highly recommend Aweber Communications, the top autoresponder on the market.

There are many other advantages associated with buying resell rights to information products. You just have to make sure you use the right strategies to generate more sales.
