Become the Hunted
Instead of the Hunter
7 Free Videos Show YOU How
Can I Afford It? I have been asking that question for a few days now… Can I afford it? Can I afford to shell out $325.00? The answer to that question is, “YES.” I can afford $325.00. But the other part of that question is not so easy to answer.
A new Biz Opp has come to my attention. I am sure it is in the early stages. I set out to see what I could find out about it. I will admit in doing my research on this new program I have NOT found any negative information about it. But you know what they say, If it sounds to good to be true…
The web site itself SCREAMS at me, I hate that. The sizzle call has so much HYPE you want to give them a chill pill. Another red flag went up and waved real high when I watched one of the videos I found about this company. It simply showed a guy opening Fed X packages one after another. Each package contained CASH MONEY. One package he opened contained $4,000.00. That was not a typo, the package contained 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS and yes it was all in cash money.
I am not sure who in their right mind would send $4,000.00 cash through the mail to begin with… and to a perfect stranger too. Who would do that? Would you? Doesn’t that see a bit odd to you? Wouldn’t a red flag go up?
ASD keeps coming to mind.
I always hate it when the suggestion is made to just get in, pay your money and you don’t have to do anything. I have been in this business long enough to know this internet marketing thing is WORK. The only difference between this work and what other people call a J.O.B. is that I can’t think of anything I would rather be doing. NOTHING.
So the question still remains, can I afford it?
I know that I could get my original out lay of the $325.00 back. I bet I could even make some money. In fact I don’t doubt that I could make some really BIG money. My concern is for the people I am making my money from. Will they also be able to make money.
This business of internet marketing is something that I love and enjoy. I have a good reputation for being helpful and trustworthy. Do I really want to risk my reputation that I have worked so hard to achieve for some quick, fast and perhaps BIG money?
I think I can answer that question now, I really don’t think I can afford it after all.

After 6 weeks of the worst winter I can ever remember I got a most welcomed email that gave me hope that spring will soon be here.
It was from “Green Thumb Jeff”. Not sure that is his real name, I kind of doubt it but he does indeed have
a “green thumb” and he is a master at growing healthy organic foods.
After many years of trial and error at gardening “Green Thumb Jeff” tells you what he has discovered
about growing healthy organic food and eliminating harmful chemicals from your diet.
His information packed book not only talks about the importance of why you want to eat organic foods but
also explains how to grow 100% organic food starting with soil preparation to the seed and getting past the
weeds and so much more… My Organic Food Garden

In MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER
Please read the little cartoon carefully, it’s powerful. Then read the comments at the end.
I’m doing my small part by posting this message. I hope you’ll consider doing the same.
In Memoriam

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in
Europe ended I am posting this on my blog as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian Peoples looking the other way!
Now, more than ever, with Iraq , Iran , and others, claiming the
Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it’s imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.
This Post is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!
Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.
Please send this link to 10 people you know and ask them to continue the
memorial chain.
Please, don’t just pretend it never happened.
It will only take you a minute to pass this along
.
Thanks!

I know that many people don’t like New Years Resolutions, but I disagree. The new year is a great time to evaluate what’s working, and by contrast, what isn’t, and make changes. A resolution is no more than resolving to accomplish something. Too many people set lofty goals that are truly inachievable, but only because they don’t want it bad enough.
Anyone can really achieve anything they want to, if they really want to. If you set goals that you are gung-ho about in the beginning, but run of of gusto for, it was probably not something that you REALLY wanted to achieve.
In my business in the coming new year, I resolve to be more choosey about who I spend my time with. I resolve to give my time and energy to those most deserving of it - that meaning, those who have the right mind-set to achieve success in their business. Those who take ownership and responsibility for their own success.
Have you ever noticed that taking responsibility for success seems easier to do than to take responsibility for failure? A business associate of mine received this email from someone who has purchased affiliate products in the past: ( I have edited out indentifying information)
OK I signed up with <program name>
I downloaded all the promo stuff read as
much as I had time to. Are you going to
be more help than you were with <program>?
I never could get that setup right.
If you have time would you give me a call sometime
My primary <phone number>
( usually busy 6am-11:30am 1pm-5pm M-F MST)
home (please only as last resort) <his home phone>
or email at this address.
Hope this program works as well as it says.
Let’s get it right this time.
Later
<real persons name>
When my colleague shared this email with me, I had two reactions. The first was amusement. I thought it was very funny, but then I realized that this person really needs someone to tell him the truth, and I felt a little sorry for him. He’s looking for some magic bullet that is going to change his world without any input from him. My colleague decided to be that someone who shared the truth with this poor lost soul, and replied to him with this:
Dear <real person’s name>
I’m glad you were able to get all that FREE
material from the <program name>.
I’m sorry that you were not able to figure
<other program> out, but even sorrier that
you feel that I am responsible for your failure.
I can confidently assure you that the reason
you have not been successful is in no small part
due to your attitude.
Please do not expect me to call you as I am
equally confident that I cannot help you. I
choose to spend my time working with those
who understand that they are responsible for
their own success.
There is no program or person that will DO
IT FOR YOU. Once you understand that
“if it is to be, it is up to me”, you will begin
to achieve the success that you desire.
Wishing you the best,
<a true marketing mentor>
This is what I am talking about doing on a regular basis. We need to be careful who we spend our time with, and we also need to wake people up to reality. There is no program on the internet, or anywhere else, that will work on your behalf without your input. I have no desire to take credit for anyone’s success, if you make it, you make it because YOU did it. YOU would have done it with or without my help.
Let’s keep it real out there folks, and put honesty and integrity back into internet marketing.
Merry Christmas to all!

Pick up a newspaper, turn on the radio or television, surf the web… it’s everywhere. Are people really this afraid, or is there a market in making YOU afraid? I think there are probably some who truly do believe and fear that their very survival is at risk. And then there are those who will profit from scaring the bejeezus out of the masses.
There is little doubt that a recession, economic downturn, or depression, whatever name you wish to apply, does mean more people will be turning to the internet to supplement, or replace their current incomes. And savvy marketers are out there in full force to convince the fearful public that their product or service is the ONE that will not only save them from economic ruin, but deliver them riches beyond their expectations, while allowing them to work from home. Some might say, that the world wide web is once again ripe for scammers. That’s a whole other article…
Reality Check
Is the sky really falling? Or as some would tell you, has it already? Or is the Law of Attraction at work, as it always is, taking away the wealth that was achieved on the competitive field and based in greed. Did you know that over 100 years ago, great thinkers of the day like Wallace D. Wattles wrote that it is entirely possible to get rich through competitive means, as opposed to the more desirable creative means, but that competitive wealth is fleeting. Wealth achieved through creation and cooperation is lasting and real, whereas that achieved through greed does not last, and is not truly satisfying.
I wonder what the lives of the Wall Street CEO’s was really like, even in times of prosperity. Didn’t they always have to be on guard, watching their every step, looking around corners to ensure that they adequately cover their tracks, that they are not being scrutinized? Surely their lives were not all glitz and glamour. There is a price to pay when you win through cut throat competition and greed. And utimately, even the winners lose. Because it is fleeting…
“They are like the monster reptiles of the prehistoric eras. They play a necessary part in the evolutionary process, but the same power which produced them will dispose of them. And it is well to bear in mind that they have never been really rich; a record of the private lives of most of this class will show that they have really been most abject and wretched.”
The Science of Getting Rich (1910)
Wallace D Wattles
And so, if we interpret the words of Wattles, we can clearly see the truth. The current economic downturn is simply part of the evolutionary process. Those who climbed the competitive ladder, knocking it down to prevent others from following, had no way to climb back down… they had to jump or fall off, but they had to come down.
On the other hand, those that get rich “the certain way”, on the creative plane, will enjoy true wealth. These are the people who climb that ladder, and inspire others to follow them. People living and working and building wealth on the creative plane have nothing to fear in this economic downturn. On the contrary, perhaps it is a reason to celebrate and express gratitude. Yes, gratitude… for those who climbed that ladder and fell, because that was a necessary step in our economic evolution.
In your quest to achieve prosperity, I urge you not to latch on to the program that promises you riches at the push of a button. Chances are good that if you were led to a business opportunity based on your fear, that the people behind it are working on the competitive plane. Know that whatever product, service or company you choose to promote on the internet will require real work on your part. Seek out people who are working on the creative plane - those who will inspire you to do the same.

What is the baiting system?
Why is it that you need to use the baiting system
in your business?
http://thenpn.com/at/?id=14242
I know the name sounds fishy to you. However, before
you make an assumption what this is all about, there
is ONE SECRET that you really need to know:
Since iPhone(r) made a big buzz about a lower pricing,
there are so many people made a decision to switch to
iPHONE compared to any other phone. The price of $199
hooked them up right away.
The questions you need to ask yourself are:
“Why Steve Jobs made the price
of iPHONE so low?”
Steve Jobs can just sell it at a premium price of
$399 like it used to be. There is NO REASON whatsoever
that he provides the user with better features and
cheaper pricing on the Iphone, right?
When Steve did price the iPhone at a lower price,
most cell phone users SWITCHED to iPhone right away.
People start signing two-year agreement with AT&T.
People bought music from iTune. People subscribed to
the GPS system through iPhone.
Furthermore…
Many commentators are speculating about businesses
should use iPhone compare to Blackberry(r).
Why this is happening?
Why is it Steve Job decided to lower down the price?
Do you think Steve is out of his mind?
On the surface, Steve Job might be INSANE to drop the
price of the iPhone to $199. However, he knew that the
money is coming from the subscription, the itunes,
as well as other subscriptions he offers WITH the
phone itself.
He knew that if there is a phone without subscription
is JUST going to be a phone. This is the reason he
is willing to sacrifice the front-end profit for the
back-end residual in’come.
This is what we referred to… “The Baiting System”.
Go ahead and look onto your industry. What are the
essential resources they need to have? What is it
that they can’t live without? You need to find that
out and simply provide just that.
For example:
* Without an Internet access, your computer is
just useless.
* Without an electricity and gas, your house
is just a house.
* Without a web hosting, you can’t run Internet
business.
* Without traffic, you will not have any sales,
business, prospects, whatsoever.
* Without the RIGHT system to run your business,
you are not able to build a strong business
on an autopilot.
* And much, much more.
This is part of the baiting system. Without a way
to FIND out the baiting system in your business,
you will NOT survive. Why?
Look onto all those businesses who are just depending
on the front-end profit or one-time sale. As soon as
the customer buys the product, they will just say
GOOD-BYE.
How stupid is it? Well, It’s INSANE!
IF your business is ONLY depending on a one-time sale
with NO WAY of getting a repeat business, you will FAIL.
This is the reason why businesses close the door left
and right in their very first year.
* They have NO clue to have their customers come back
for more.
* They have NO clue what it takes to increase 237%
more revenue from their businesses.
So, what is your baiting system? How do you make your
customers want MORE from your business? People LOVE
iPhone. People LOVE iPod. People LOVE iMac. Does
Steve Job forces the customers to get his product?
Absolutely NOT!
“What does Steve Job focus on?”
Quality Products. (Aha!)
That’s it! That’s all you need to focus on. People
don’t care about the baiting system. However, they
do CARE about the products you provide to them. In
fact, they are willing to pay premium price for it.
What do they care most?
They don’t want to be tricked.
They don’t want to feel like you are going to give
them crappy products in exchange for the currency.
This is WHY quality products are a MUST. In other
words, you need to be able to be proud of it. You
need to be able to say that you are behind 100%
behind it. You need to be able stand TRUE with the
products and services you offer.
(NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE)
Once you know how the “Baiting System” works in your
business, your next step would be to start applying
the money flow chart, conversion, traffic, and
systemization on each product you work with.
This is HOW you build a $2,517.82 business.
This is HOW you take your business to the next level.
This is HOW you differentiate your business from
the rest.

-> What’s the money flow chart?
-> Why is the money flow chart important to running
a successful business?
-> Why do you need to know the money flow chart in depth
in order to set-up a $2,517.82 per week business?
If you’re in a hurry, go now to the free report:
http://thenpn.com/at/?id=14242
Before I tell you where I am going with this, I want
to tell you that the money flow chart is the ONLY way
for you to bring your business to the next level.
First, let me tell you this fact…
There are so many clients who come to me and say things
that they need a website. They started out with this
cool flash animations, cute pictures, shiny backgrounds,
and much more.
When they start sending traffic to their sites, they
made ZERO sales. They used whole bunch of traffic
sources, such as: Pay per click, SEO, articles, web
2.0, blogging, and much more.
Nothing works. Why is that?
It’s really simple!
It doesn’t fit the principle of money flow chart. It
is no doubt that you can have better looking websites
than I do. However, when there is no green stuff
coming in, what is those GREAT looking websites for?
It is a waste of time.
It is a waste of money.
It is a waste of your effort.
So…. What should we do differently then?
“You MUST master the money flow chart”
You need to know WHO your visitors are.
You need to know WHAT your potential buyers want.
You need to know WHY they come to your website.
Details are in the report: http://thenpn.com/at/?id=14242
FURTHERMORE, you need to understand the ONE single
action you want them to take when they visit your
site. When I mentioned about ONE SINGLE ACTION, it
means that IF I go to your site, I need to know
what is it you want me to do. That’s it!
For example:
Let’s say I go to your website that sell dog care
info product. As soon as I arrive on your site,
I need to know EXACTLY what you want me to do
at that time.
-> If your purpose of having me visit your site is
to get your free report, you need to tell me to
enter my personal information. Nothing else!
-> If your purpose of having me visit your site is
to buy your dog care info product, you need to
ask me for my credit card number. Nothing else!
-> If your purpose of having me visit your site is
to sell your product, tell me how I can become your
affiliate. Nothing else!
Basically, you need to tell your visitors what you
want them to do. They can either comply with your
request or they will leave your site.
It’s that simple!
Once you make your website focus on ONE single action
you want them to do, your next step would be to keep
providing the “REASON WHY” they need to take action.
This is what we referred to “Conversion”.
This is WHY marketers talk about you need to keep
testing and tracking your conversion at all time.
This allows you to know that when you have 1,000
targeted visitors come to your website, how many
people will ACTUALLY opt-in to your list.
-> If you have 200 people opt-in to your list out
of 1,000 visitors, it means that you have 20%
sign-up rate.
-> If you have 400 people opt-in to your list out
of 1,000 visitors, it means that you have 40%
sign-up rate.
-> If you have 600 people opt-in to your list out
of 1,000 visitors, it means that you have 60%
sign-up rate.
When you know that you have 600 people opt-in to
your list for every 1,000 visitors visit your site,
all you have to do NEXT would be just getting more
targeted traffic for your business.
This is how the money flow chart works.
This is what differentiate your website from the
those FAILING one.
They have NO CLUE what the money flow chart is.
They have NO CLUE what the “baiting system” is.
They have NO CLUE what it takes to create a $2,517.82
per week business on an autopilot.
With this reason alone, I strongly recommend you
downlod Henry Gold’s free 59-page report at:

in great details. It will show you the step-by-step

McCain and Palin tout themselves as a pair of “mavericks”. When I first heard it, I had an image of a cowboy in my mind. I’m too young to remember the original tv series, The Mavericks,but I do remember the movie with James Garner. I didn’t realize there was an actual living Maverick family… I was a little surprised when I received these news articles in my email:
http://blogs.reuters.com/trail08/2008/10/06/maverick-family-to-mccain-no-way-are-you-one-of-us/

It is election time in North America. Both the USA and Canada are heading to the polls to elect their next federal government. It is an interesting time. Sadly, the interest in Canadian politics is no where near the extent of the interest in the US Presidential election. Much has been said about this fact, but I wonder if that isn’t turning around just a little bit…
It appears, to me anyway, that our Canadian politicians are attempting to capitalize on the interest the US election has gained in Canada. The attack ads are more blatent than they used to be, and they seem to be using some of the same fear mongering tactics.
Recently, we’ve seen ads connecting Harper to Bush. The ad states that had Harper been in power when Bush declared war on Iraq, our troops would have been fully committed. Then there’s the Harper attack ads claiming that Dion’s ideas are dangerous. Is it working? Are we paying closer attention?
I have to admit, that I have been drawn to the US campaigns… and as a result, I am less apathetic about our own election. As late as last Thursday, when our Leader’s debate was airing at the same time as the US VP debate, I was far more interested in watching the US debate. I flipped back and forth between the two, and have to say… our’s was more interesting! What a surprise!
But what about the attack ads. What about Palin’s recent claim that Obama is “palling” with terrorists? I’m sorry to say to those of you who love Palin and McCain, I am unimpressed by this latest attack. It only serves to make them look desperate. Palin needs to be bolstering her reputation… she ought to be working on getting up to speed with the issues. I appreciate that she is a “common” person, but I have to ask… do the American people really want an unpolished “good ole girl” negotiating for them at the international level? Whatever happened to “looking Presidential”?
Just some thoughts from north of the border…
