Yep, gotta say I'm gonna have to lay off the sauce before writing here. I reread my last post and decided it was STUPID, I sounded like a freakin dork, repeating crap over and over, not having any direction...... WAIT A MINUTE that's the way I always sound, so it's all good I suppose.
It seems like it's been a long as time since I've been here, lots of stuff going on, tons of things to do, I feel like I'm stuck in Tye Coughlins' funnel of fury money making system with no way out. Sometimes one can get a little overwhelmed, and I've found that stepping back and taking a breath of fresh air, mixed with a cold beer can be exhilarating and necessary.
10$ Wonder is moving ever so SLOWLY, it's more or less spurty, moves like mad then kinda slows then moves, I can't complain, with only five positions what can you expect at 10 cents a cycle.
I've decided to seriously feed the hungry E2EPay, this baby has an insatiable appetite and I like feeding the animal!! So far I'm looking at 26 positions and am repurchasing one new position everyday or so. With my handy little excel program I built, (which is surprisingly accurate) I plug in a number and WHAM I get a forecast of a sweet money making future. In about 2 to 3 weeks I'm looking at bringing in about 140 smacks a week, not bad.
A buddy of mine I work with turned me on to a new site that looks extremely interesting and both of us have signed on. Rich has called and talked to the admin and they seem very helpful, he talked to them on the phone and did some emailing and found them informative and knowledgeable. With that we went ahead and made the commitment.
R.I.O.Y. isn't exactly an eye catching name, it looks like an acronym for a Star Wars Robot, but don't let that fool you, it stands for Retire In One Year and their system is strong, they have an interesting guarantee system attached to their offers. I like them for several reasons:
1) They guarantee $4,000 in 12 months >> always a good thing!
2) There is very little overhead in monthly charges >> $79.00 a month
3) One fast earning affiliate program and one long term (this gets you making money fast to support the monthly payments, then moves you on to more of a long term plan.
4) If you follow their plan to the "T" they introduce higher yield plans along the way as you
make more money every month.
Take a spin around the splash page and see what you think, did I fail to mention they do all the marketing and placement for you! That's the best part, no selling if you do not want to and they still will guarantee the outcome!!

Hope all is well with you and yours, gotta hit the sack Take Care Scott

Kick back Sunday
Another day in online paradise, well half a day anyway. I was subjected to half a day of slavery in the world of corporate boredom, but the last half of the day has been spent updating, researching and posting to my blog, fun stuff, and another day of trying to get far enough ahead with the online activities that the corporate slavery can go take a flying leap!!
Joined a new program, and turned John S. from 9planetreviews onto a new money matrix system that seems to be performing pretty dang well, I've been in for a day and have turned an $11 dollar profit. Of course $5 of that was from John joining the site. He has some careful optimism about this one, which is definetely understandable, any of these sites should be approached with guarded optimism for sure. I have personally talked with the admin with letmepay4U and he seems to have his heart in the right place, I like the sounds of this thing, and he has been prompt to respond and very helpful, so there you have it.
10$wonder is moving along nicely, I have 4 positions there and .60 cents left to a repurchase which is good. E2epay on the other hand is cruising right along, of course the 19 positions helps considerably for the profit margin, I'm almost to the point of a repurchase every day, just shy but almost, it won't be long before we are making enough to buy one and take out $70 bucks per week, and that will be sweet for sure.
I have found a very interesting money making opportunity and am in the middle of seeking out the lifeblood of what makes this baby tick. I believe John has already posted on this, but I am going to get another perspective on this baby and I will get back with you on what I find, if it's as good as it sounds, anyone jumping in will have a few extra beers in their fridge for sure.
Host4Profit has not been a ball of fire, but I did get my first check in the mail from SFI, not a whole bunch of monies, but it was kind of exciting to receive a check in the mail for all my spoils. I haven't been advertising Host4Profit as much as I should be, I have a strategy of trying to make enough in other ventures to support host4profit. It can get a little spendy to keep all the affiliates fed in host4profit, then being a member of the PIPS co-op is a pretty large money pit in itself. So with that in mind, and with the wife hollering in the background about not having enough spuds for dinner and unable to afford gas to get to the store to buy any because I'm spending every extra dime we have to fund my business ventures I am having to reevaluate how to go about this.
It can be tough to make a go of making money online, but with some ingenuity and tenacity I think things are going to move along just fine. If any of you out there start to get disgruntled with trying to make a go of making it online, give me a holler and I'll try to help any way I can, I realize how frustrating it can be at times.
Okay, I'll be seeing ya'll later take care

It just keeps getting better
Hello all, I sometimes need a pinch to wake me from this dream world, it has to be a dream, because it's just too good to be true.
I was raised in the country here in Montana, worked on a diary farm most of my high school career, milking cows, bailing and buckin' hay, all the blood sweat and tears for minimal bucks, but an honorable living working on the farm. I've always worked with my hands, I've been a welder for most of my adult life, fabricating, diesel mechanics, millwright, you know all the not so fun, but it was a profession kind of stuff. My hobby has ALWAYS been computers. Since I attended college in 1987 and took my first computer programming course in "Basic" on Apple 2E's I've been hooked. I build and troubleshoot computers constantly as a hobby, I'm the guy everyone calls in my little hometown to fix their ailing pewters. But making money with one..... holy God who would think!!
I've always been told to get a job, show up everyday keep your nose clean, do what you're told, you know all the cliches you hear throughout your life. Oh yeah and the newest one, everything on the internet is a SCAM!! Well of course I've been around the net enough to know not everything is a scam, but after awhile you begin to almost believe what everyone tells you, it's repetitive programming, if you hear it enough then it must be true, and I fell into that trap. Well I'm here to tell you there is always time to break free and find your own way. I suppose today has been a breaking point for me, it's that place where all the hard work you put into something finally pays off. It just sometimes takes awhile, but when it shows up it's a feeling like nothing else!
Now let me tell you, there is absolutely nothing like building a house with your own hands, starting with digging a hole for the foundation, forms for the footings, framing the walls onto the roof, wiring, plumbing, finish work, I've done it all and the feeling of a finished home which you built with your own hands has about the same feeling as building an online business and seeing the first profits hit your door! And that is where I'm at right now, feeling good, feeling fine, it's just a great thing. I'm hooked booked and on the next flight to freedom! I would like to thank Stone Evans with host4profit and his excellent program, couldn't of done it without ya.
I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I can't lose, cause I won't let it. I think that's the difference with any of us out here struggling to make it with an online presence. And that is just how much do you want to put into it.
There is no big "secret" to this stuff, it's just good old fashion hard work. Research, learning, talking with people through phone, email, speach and just getting out there and being thorough. I am definetely a long way away from a success story, there is still a long row to hoe, but I just want anyone reading this to know, it's achievable through hard work, I know this now, don't give up, keep moving forward and don't ever let anyone tell you the "no" word. It simply cannot be in your vocabulary. Keep moving forward ya all I'm living breathing proof anyone can do it!!
My personal website received 6000 hits in one week!! I'm **cranked** up about this, cause getting that many hits was mostly free!! I'll let you know how, but you gotta visit me at the site and drop an email and I'll send you the info, it's one of a kind and there are some folks spending a LOT of bucks to get this stuff..... but you can get it FREE from ME!!

Proof is in the pudding
Well here it is, this is my "backoffice" in E2Epay, just a little proof that this thing is working every day to make money for me. It's not a huge amount of money by any means, well maybe if you're living in a box, but the best part is this thing is just beginning to show it's true colors. I have developed a little excel spreadsheet with a bunch of calculations to predict the number of positions and how many greenbacks I will be making after a predetermined amount of time, and the future results are astounding, surprisingly accurate it is, considering my basic mathematical skills to which I have applied to this thing. If you would like a copy of this "wonderous" utility feel free to contact me and I will be happy to supply you with a "Free" copy, I know contain your excitement but hey, it's all I have for ya so far.
Finally I have been trying to get some opt-ins for the host4profit site and two have signed on in the last week. I've also received one sign-up this week!! Pretty exciting stuff for a simpleton like myself, It's a great start to an outstanding program I have nothing but praise for Stone Evans and his Plug in Profits site. The training is freakin' superb and their response to questions are second to none. Well the journey continues I'm currently getting set up to film a video to promote on You-Tube I guess that's a pretty good way to go for those wanting to generate some extra traffic to their website. I've also produced a new ezine article for submission to the PIPs coop for distribution to several ezines. The PIPs Coop is a tad spendy for sure but it has a lot of great benefits to promote your business.
Spent some more money tonight on an upgrade with "GetResponse" 17.95 a month is a small price to pay for this autoresponder, I would recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in touch with their folks on their opt-ins list. Give it a try and see what you think go to:
Get Response
Anyhoo it's time to move on, and attempt to sort through the bajillions of emails I seem to be accumalating Take care and see ya later Scott

A Day For the record books
Well this has been a day to remember for sure. Alert pay after waiting it seems forever finally came through. After sending them everything but my first born to prove that I am me, which took several attempts with the scanner....... they kept telling me that my scans were unreadable?? I could see them fine when I sent them to these dip--sh-ts but somehow the trip to Ontario must of been pretty harsh on the pixels or maybe parts of the scan got lost in the mail?? I don't know but after three attempts they finally were able to see the pertinent info which proves my identity etc. Then of course you have to charge the account which takes 7 business days to clear, then finally after frothing at the bit to put some money in E2EPay I was able to buy some positions. Now this is where the fun part starts, whoa boy, I bought 9 positions which gave me a total of twelve active positions in the system. And as soon as I purchased these babies they cycled like the Enterprise warping to another galaxy! It wasn't two minutes later I was able to buy another position! Now by this time I was lathered up into a money making moron ready to run out and buy Donald Trumps over priced empire with all my new found wealth, but whoa fella as if that wasn't enough not 10 minutes later, I run back in to check it again and lo and behold there's enough to buy yet another position!! Jesus mother Mary, I'm gonna fall over and wiggle around like a loaf of under cooked banana bread, seeing this thing in action is gonna cause me to either get rich, or kill me due to excitement!! I've never seen a system like this before in my entire life. I'm trying to remain measured in my optimism but this thing is going to make it mighty difficult to say the least.
I know if you haven't heard of these systems you are probably wondering what in God's green earth is this half baked dip stick rattling on about?? Yeah yeah I know I'm ramblin like Robin Williams on crack, but it's just cooler than hell to be involved in something that runs your bank account up faster than Richard Petty in a hot wheels competition. I suppose excitement is an understatement. I'm hoping this thing will support and fund my other adventures in online entrepreneurism, I pulled some money out to make sure I can actually access the money in my account, once AlertPay account is debited, then I will know for sure that this is as real as the keister to which I am sitting!
Anyway, it's late and I do have to work tomorrow so it's time to hit the sack. I'll sit down tomorrow and give you guys some more info on this thing, I would like to see ya all get all worked up like I did, it's a hoot!! I put up a splash page for E2EPay why don't you go and check it out and give me some feedback on my hard work. Take Care And make it a profitable day!!

Another day on the super info highway
Hello all,
Well I've been a member of this blog for awhile now, and I've decided to try another route to posting these blogs. Before I was more interested in just getting posts up and running, but now I think the traditional blog post is going to be more the standard for me from here on in. There has been a lot happening the last month or so, and this may be a good way to get some of the massive amounts of info down on "paper"... so to speak. I have decided to begin a journey, an online business journey to hopefully, a better living. I really can't complain too much about my life, I'm married to a beautiful woman, have two gorgeous biological children, whom I don't get to see much, but I Love 'em to death, and three step children, whom I love as my own. We make plenty of money and never hurt for the basic necessities of life. But I guess when you get to my age something "clicks" and you either have to make a decision to change, or just continue and sock away enough to retire on and just live out your life to the best of your ability.
Now that might sound great to some people, but I've always been the entreprenuer type and have started several businesses in the past. They did O.K. but nothing to jump up and down about and run to the bank with a fistful of dollars kind of business. The only thing I received from those business ventures that is everlasting is a lack of sleep, and lots of work ethic, oh yeah and some public relations experience yikes!!
Anyhoo, now we have the explosion of the internet and all it has to offer. I do have college level html and some programming language backgrounds, but I can honestly say my abilities with programming is limited to Front Page and some HTML. With all that said I will start a chronicle of my progress and hope someone will follow me in vain. I am going to try to jot down as much as I can about the steps I take on a daily basis so maybe anyone who is trying to get a business started up will avoid some of the errors I have made along the way. Excellent, my little way of helping out someone in need, I'm feeling good about this already =).
So..... let's see it's been what, about a month since I started this endeavor, and so far I have spent about $5,000 out of pocket. Now to some that may be a drop in the proverbial bucket to me, it's substantial!
1) Spent $3,000 with some whacked out beach-bum schmuck sitting in his lawn chair, laptop on his..... lap. Back-drop in Hawaii, ocean in the background, palm trees overhead, sitting next to a pool. Now what the hell? This guy got me right from the get go with his upside down funneling crap, funneled me right into a spiraling out of control financial nightmare!! I was sucked into the fun funnel and landed squarely in the jaws of the global resort network, Now if you are familiar with this system, and there has to be a few of you who have suffered the same smack to the side of the head that I have, you know that it's not all pineapples and stiff drinks like ol Tye Coughlin is portraying. After dropping 3 g's on the Global Resorts you've gotta spend untold amounts of money on online and offline advertising, bring in the numbers throw them happily into the massive sucking unrelenting funnel of oh sooo much fun, and plop! Out the other side comes a bouncing baby internet entrepreneur wanta be, crying and kicking and frothing for money to renew his recently abolished BANK ACCOUNT! I really hold no animosity towards ty and the gang for sucking food out of my families mouths, after all I was the one who stuck my neck in the trap and let it snap off my head. But really, I suppose after all a person can make a go of it if you keep after it, I just lost patience with all the hoopla, getting on the phone for hours on end to listen to these funnel faced gurus preach about how they are the greatest since cream corn and how we could do the same if we just follow what they've done for the next 6 to 12 months and we too could make a dollar a day for a week on and on and on and blah blah blah, I'm pukin cause there isn't any food in the house and the wife wants to stick my head in a trap like the one I already did but much larger because I took her ability away to go shopping for several years....... It's all good though, just a $5,000 lesson and oh boy let me tell you what a lesson I learned!! Of course this will have to continue tomorrow where I'll give you massive insight to the Global Resort Network and it's appendages to include:
Lawn chair Millionaire: I haven't decided if I like this yet, I'll tell ya tomorrow or next month who knows?
Carbon Copy Pro: snicker, snicker hack cough yeah lots to look at here!! I think this means regurgitated marketing crap they should of dumped 6 years ago!!
And several other rediculous little subsale categories they try to suck you into with their reverse sucking funnel of fun filled family splitting till they have no money left systems. sorry I got a little carried away. Until tomorrow good night
We'll see ya tomorrow

Doctomology
Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?
Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"
These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.
The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.
More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.
I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?
For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.
I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it

Manage your business ads
Home Business Advertising Formula
I am certain that, as a business owner, you have often entertained the question as to how much to spend and where to spend your advertising dollars. For most small business owners, these questions can add to the headaches suffered in the course of normal everyday operations of their business. The how much to spend and where to spend it questions have no easy answers.
Depending on your type of business, many people suggest that the *how much* should be equal to anywhere from 4% to 10% of your gross receipts. The quandary is that a business cannot survive without a fresh flow of incoming customers. But, a business can seldom generate a fresh stream of customers without spending money to get the word out about their business.
THE CHALLENGE OF DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING Have you ever paid for advertising and sat back to await the fresh flow of customers, only to find yourself sitting and sitting and then sitting some more? Don't feel bad about that. It has happened to many of us before. See, knowing where to spend the advertising money is not enough to get the job done.
If all that was need was to spend money, your only limitation would be your wallet size. Unfortunately that is not the case. Try to follow these steps to create a healthy, streamlined marketing portfolio.
· Marketing Plan
· Advertising Strategy
· Headlines, Ad Copy and Visual Presentation
· Tracking the Success of Your Advertising Campaigns
The Marketing Plan is used primarily to identify your own products and services, costs, strengths, weaknesses and the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors. It’s also a good idea to come up with a target for you geographic profile.
Devoloping an advertising strategy is crucial so you know what to expect to gain from your advertising. Do you simply wish to get your name known so that when your customer will need you, they will think of you first? Or, do you wish to get your customers in your front door on Saturday? Do you want your customers to come in and take a look around to discover the next object that they cannot live without? Or, do you want them to come in and buy a specific widget? Do you hope that enough people will come in to buy enough products or services to pay for your single ad? Or, do you expect to gain a lifelong customer who will help pay for your advertising over the course of several years? When you know what you want, then you will better understand just how to do it.
You might be surprised how many business owners put out advertising without regard for the quality of the sales pitch or presentation. The quality of your distribution outlet or the amount of money you spent to get there will do little for you if the advertising vehicle is a junker. Trying out different advertising mediums such as headlines, ad copy, video, or even print advertising is essential to a winning ad campaign. Most advertising does not work in a crossover environment, which means if it was a hot motivator with an online ad that doesn't neccessarily mean it will perform in a hard copy print ad. Test all of your advertising materials in smaller markets before blowing your advertising bank roll on it. You must absolutely know the value of your advertising before putting large sums of money behind it.
Tell your customers to save another 10% when they tell you they heard or saw your ad in such-and-such location. Suggest that they can register to win a free widget if they fill out a form and have them to tell you how they heard of your business. Advertise a specific widget in your ad and track the sales of that widget. There are many available programs for tracking online, some are free and others are monthly memberships, the old adage of getting what you pay for really takes place here though, so be sure to do some research before signing up! It does not matter how you track your advertising --- just make sure you do it!
The ideal way to spend your advertising budget is to buy a rifle with a high-powered scope and to only shoot your targets in the light of day. If you are not tracking your advertising, then you are shooting a pellet gun without an attached scope, with blinders on, and shooting in the dead darkness of night. Even with a bigger gun, the blinders in the dark constitute the single largest mistake made by advertisers. If you are unable to track your advertising to learn what is working well, what is working somewhat, and what is a money pit, then you are condemned to repeat your mistakes over and again. By relying only on gut instinct, you may be choosing to spend more money in the money pit and to lose all of your money in the process. When you get down to the nuts and bolts of making money from your advertising, you should plan, prepare, track and study your results. You must have factual information on which to base your advertising decisions. When you are making the right advertising decisions, then making money from your business might just come easy.

Superior Newsletter Design
Building Million Dollar Network Marketing Organization Secret Is Superior Newsletter Design
You can build a network marketing empire on the backs of well written, well designed, and impossibly interesting newsletters. Sure, this may sound like the prelude to yet another e-book touting the magic bullet for making sales and turning leads into willing buyers and distributors, but in this case building a million dollar network marketing organization secret is superior newsletter design!
Start off your newsletter with a friendly word of greeting. It emphasizes the relationship that exists between the recipient and the sender, but at the same time it personalizes your business by showcasing you, the representative, as a real live, warm, and caring human being. Building million dollar network marketing organization secrets far too often center on down line, up line, sales figures and product presentation but far too rarely emphasize the human side of the business. Recipients of your newsletter do not want to feel like they have just been marketed to but instead they want to have the impression that they were just thought of and thus became the recipient of a well written newsletter.
Your newsletter should always be sent in plain text rather than relying on html. Avoid graphics and other items that will make downloading it slow. Structure the body of the newsletter in such a way that it looks ordered, does not appear cluttered, and showcases distinct sections, some of which may be pertaining to the company you are representing while others will deal with general articles and content. It is usually suggested that the company material should make up the upper half of the newsletter’s body while the general content ought to be placed on the bottom half. This is a flawed concept in that it will cause those who are simply subscribing for the content but not for the industry portion will glance over the info you are trying to get out.
Instead, go ahead and intersperse content and industry material. Perhaps the first article may pertain to a new product you are marketing while the second may be a recipe, cooking tip, wellness advice, or so forth; the third article can once again pertain to your business, such as explaining the growth you have recently experienced, while the fourth section may be a give away, puzzle, joke, useful fact, and so on. This makes the entire body of the newsletter readable and useful while it prevents your information from being disregarded by those who just ignore the compartmentalization.
Your newsletter should end with a friendly closing that in some way references the original greeting. When you are building a million dollar network marketing organization using the newsletter as your secret weapon, you want to squeeze any bit of usefulness from it. A personal signature, your title and contact information, an invitation to email you with questions or content suggestions, but also a call to action, such as buying the product or taking the free marketing course are good closes for the newsletter. You may even want to go so far as to give a teaser for the next newsletter, which will ensure that you will not receive too many unsubscribe requests!

Tips For Internet Marketing
Internet marketing is a fairly new area in the marketing field. Marketing websites is close to marketing for other products and services. If you are new in the Internet marketing field there are some tips to assist you. We are going to use this article to examine those aids.
It is advisable not to use additional products and services to increase your sales. Instead of increasing the quantity of products or services, you would do better to increase the variety of different marketing methods. By doing this, only a small part of the total business is affected if one product declines or a marketing response drops.
Be sure to remember that customers are also prospects. You need to stay in contact with them. Try to find or develop other products or services that they can use. Return customers are easier to make a sale to than new customers.
Avoid making exaggerated claims, even if they are true. Bold claims create doubt in potential customer’s minds and jeopardize sales. It is better to bring those bold claims down to believable levels. Numerical claims should be expressed as odd numbers with decimals or factions.
When developing offers for your business, create them in sets of four or five at a time. They should also have expiration dates. With expiration dates you can replace the expired one with a new offer and deadline. With a series of offers you can constantly recycle through them. It is also possible to create an irresistible offer by combining a discount price and a set of valuable bonuses in the same offer.
You may need to change your market if you are attracting prospects that don’t have or can’t get the money to buy your product or service. You should target prospects that have an intense desire for the benefits of your products or services. You also need to target those that can afford your products or services.
By offering an exclusive benefit to your customers, this benefit will help sales. The benefit should be something that your competitors can’t or won’t offer. A good example of this would be your personal cell phone or home phone numbers. A lot of business owner’s don’t want to be that accessible.
Advertising copy should be written like the message was written specifically for each reader. This type of copy seems to produce great responses. This can be accomplished by making the copy be written to just one person instead of a group of people. You also might want to write in a less formal, more personal style.
The majority of sales are not made on the first contact. You need to develop a method to capture and save names and contact information of prospects. By doing this you can follow up with them periodically. Sometimes a gentle coaching is all that is needed to make a sale.
