What do you do if you have no list and no products?

What can you do to give yourself a flying start?

What Practical steps can you take to make some money now, stay inspired and on track ?

You are trying to get started in Internet Marketing. Trying to create a website, find a hot niche or compete with heaps of people to sell some free resale ebooks.

A lot of people stop at this point and say it is all too hard. Now how could you make it easier on yourself and make some money at the same time.

You can sell other people’s products through good quality affiliate programs. This is a simple way to get started on making money now. The good quality affiliate programs will also help you get started.

Have a look at my website for an Internet marketing affiliate program that comes with heaps of the highest quality training for Free.

Good quality programs with have two tiers.

The first tier will pay you a % of direct sales. This means that people that click on your affiliate link in your email or from your website and then purchase a product. The sites that I promote pay you 50% for the first tier and pay reliably. Beware of affiliate programs that seem too good to be true, they probably are.

The second tier is when you refer somebody to the affiliate program and they make a sale. You will get a % of that sale. The % is much smaller but all you had to do is introduce them once and then you can enjoy a % of all their ongoing sales.
The sites that I promote pay 10% for the second tier.

The first tier sounds good of course, but you need to have some skills to get people to go to the site and buy. If you are a beginner this can be challenging and frustrating when you get little results.

So what you do is find some people already in those niches that have lists and invite them to become affiliates. They can send out a broadcast to their list and you can start making tier two sales and money in a couple of days.

Now you may become hooked on this and keep doing this or you may start to use the profits to develop your own website, products and lists.

If you develop your own products it will require work to create them, update them, add new backend products and you need to create a plan and make a commitment to doing that and making it work.

If you go the affiliate route there is always new products to promote that are hot topics and the affiliate programs will often run promotions to help you sell their products.

I heard a line in a movie from this rich powerful billionaire type. He said in a cultured British accent. The art of good business is being a great middleman.

So have a good think about what you are committed to and suited to doing. Are you really passionate about creating your own products or do you want to simply enjoy selling other peoples products?

Both are exciting and rewarding, but in the beginning do what works for you and puts dollars in your pocket. This success will help a lot to carry you through with enthusiasm.

Internet Wealth through Affiliate Programs
Oil tycoon, J. Paul Getty stated, “I’d rather one percent of the efforts of 100 men than 100 percent of the efforts of 1 man.” He also stated, “money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.” So what does this have to do with affiliate marketing and what is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is the revenue sharing between online advertisers/merchants and online publishers/salespeople, whereby compensation is based on performance measures, typically in the form of sales, clicks, registrations or a hybrid model.

Many sites on the internet earn more income from affiliate sales than they do from sales of their own products. Some site owners don’t even sell their own products; they only market the products of their affiliates. Take a look at most any site and you’ll see what I mean.

The Amazon associates program was the first online affiliate program of its kind when it launched in 1996. Today, it is the largest and most successful online affiliate program with over 1,000,000 members world-wide. They pay 10% in referral fees on all qualifying revenue made through their links.

An affiliate relationship with major site owners can raise a virtually unknown to a major player in a short period of time. This is the reason intelligent marketers know that affiliate relationships are a smart business decision. Instead of the marketer paying for the advertising, his affiliates take care of that when they market their own site--a win/win situation.

An example of an affiliate only website would be fatwallet.com Here you will see links to anything from books and magazines, computers, video games to Viagra. They even pay you $5 in cash back when you sign up to learn more about their hot deals.

Some sites provide information only and use their affiliate status to generate income.

Starting a site can be something even a novice to the internet can do. With a little bit of ingenuity and creativity, you could be on your way to a part-time or even full-time income thru just your affiliate relationships.

See what I mean about J .Paul Getty’s quote in my first paragraph: you have many people carrying the burden of advertising with affiliate marketing, thus taking the burden off the product seller. And by having many affiliates marketing for him, many people may see his advertising several times before they purchase.

Celebrity Gossip: What's The Attraction?
Have you ever found yourself enthralled by what goes on in the personal lives of celebrities? Well, you aren’t alone. A huge percentage of people all over the world look forward to opening up their magazine of choice and reading about what the famous are up to. In what new ways has Tom Cruise embarrassed himself? Has Britney Spears given birth yet? Are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sleeping in separate beds? For some reason, many humans find these things to be interesting.

But you have to ask yourself, why is it that people are entertained hearing about celebrity gossip? If Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are having marital troubles, what makes it more interesting than your neighbors regular fights? Is it because the celebrities have more money, and therefore anything that happens to them is more important? After all, if I want to hear about marital troubles, I don’t have to look very far.

Celebrity gossip is a huge business. The photographers can earn literally thousands of dollars just for taking a picture of a celebrity. The magazines scrape together every little bit of info the can to come up with the newest rumors. The magazines are released to grocery store checkouts across the nation, and are quickly snapped up by shoppers eager to hear the latest.

The Celebrity is really an interesting phenomenon. Society has idolized people who are hardly more good-looking or charismatic than the average person. And individuals have followed this trend, and begun to be interested by the celebrity gossip that is everywhere. But when put into perspective, few people can come up with the true reason they are interested by it. So, ask yourself why you really enjoy reading the gossip magazines. If you can’t come up with any valid reason, perhaps it’s time to rethink your priorities.

We know that it doesn't make any sense, but Celebrity Gossip is still fun, right? So visit our Celebrity Gossip Forum ;-)

Conversation In An Age Of Confusion
What do people talk about when they all believe different things and nobody is sure what the other person believes?

Then you add to that the usual courtesy that most people don’t want to offend other people, especially when it comes to the topics people disagree about with the most intensity, such as politics and religion, which all but the most foolhardy consider way off limits, at least, in what is referred to as polite conversation.

Actually, the silence of the times is far wider. In fact, the silken muffler of a feared indiscretion is wrapped around virtually every significant area of human thought, from philosophy to economics.

So what are we left with? Certain relatively safe topics, like poetry, unless you’re among poets whose egos are hair-trigger ready to fire back their own preferences vehemently. History might also be a good bet, since the overall tale has been pretty well agreed on, unless, once again, you’re with historians who may be simmering with their own disagreements.

The result? Conversation generally defaults to entrancing topics like the weather. Many spend entire evenings discussing such substitute content as one trifling entertainment or inconsequential entertainer after another. Things get really exciting when someone happens to mention how someone else may look tonight. Then there’s always the daring raconteur who’s arrayed with an evenings worth of sexual allusions.

Listening to such excited vapidity, one’s mind wanders to the legendary salons of France, at their epiphany, home, we read, to forthright conversation about the headiest topics of the time, generally centered around the new insights and old illusions of The Age of Reason.

At vagrant moments, you cannot help but ask yourself if the human race ever get to another time when it has enough beliefs in common to enliven its social occasions with conversations that really are interesting.

Tom Attea, creator of Newslaugh.com, has had six shows produced Off-Broadway and has written comedy for TV. Critics have called his writing ""delightfully funny" and "witty" with "good, genuine laughs."

Being A Responsible Fisherman
Being a responsible fisherman today includes important responsibilities. It is more that obeying all fishing and boating laws and regulations. It must include be respectful to other people, landowners, and other fishermen. We all must respect the natural and safeguard it as a future resource. Our actions today affect our fishing world for our kids and grand-kids. I know that I would like future generations to enjoy the sport of fishing as much as I have in my life.

We must all be ethical and respectful angler. Some basic things to think about:
· Respects other anglers
· Respects others that use the same resources (lakes, rivers, etc.)
· Respect the land owners
· Practices catch and release when not consuming fish (no senseless killing)
· Does not litter or pollute
· Knows and follows all fishing laws and regulations
· Continually improves his/her skills
· Shares experience and knowledge with others
· Positively promotes fishing
· Sets the example
· Enjoys Fishing!!!

While I am not the best fisherman or even in the class of professional fishermen, I do enjoy fishing. It is something that I am passing on to kids, even to kids not belonging to me.

By being ethical and responsible in our fishing, this sport can be around for generations for everyone to enjoy. Be involved and proactive in promoting this sport. Join local and regional fishing websites to gain information and knowledge. It is also another way to be involved.
