Today, I've decided to talk about Protecting Your System. I feel like too many people out there just don't have a clue as to what they should be doing to protect themselves on the Internet.
It's a nasty place full of viruses, adware, spyware, malware, and hackers just dying to get access to your identity, bank accounts, or just generally make computer life not fun.
There are many things that you can and should be doing to protect yourselves. Instead of talking about all of that here, I pulled a chapter from my E-book (don't make fun of my site and the methods.. I'm still learning! I'll get setup with Clickbank or something soon) and I'm making this 1 chapter available absolutely FREE by clicking HERE.
I hope you enjoy. Feel free (and please do) comment about the download.

Setting Goals like a Child
This will be a short post and hopefully, some food for thought.
In my post earlier this evening, I got to thinking about setting goals. Like many things, we can learn a lot from children. Those of you with children will especially understand.
Have you ever watched the determination of a child to achieve their goals? No obstacle can't be overcome.. well except someone 10 times your size grabbing you under the arms and taking you away. Ever taken something from a 1 or 2 year old and set it within their sight? They will move toys, chairs, pillows, whatever it takes into place to achieve their goals.
I've found my 3 year old reaching ON TOP OF THE REFRIDGERATOR!! It took a stool balanced on top of a chair to get on top of a cabinet and bread box to reach, but she wanted the candy up there. She knew exactly what she wanted and she made it happen!
Where do we lose that in life? What makes us lose the determination we once had as a child?
Side Note: While elephants are small, their trainers attach GIANT links of chains around their necks and stake the chain deep into the ground. The young elephant tugs and pulls at the chain until finally, it realizes that it cannot get loose. As adults, they can tie a rope to a little wooden stake in the ground and the elephant doesn't attempt to break free of the chains that bind it.
Something to ponder: What conditions us to not try anymore? What makes us stop stacking chairs, pillows, stools, books, etc. to get to what we want? (I'm truly looking for input here. I don't know).
Perhaps, we should look at the proverbial rope that's keeping us from being free. Maybe it is just a tiny little rope holding us back that once we pull up the tiny little stake in the ground, and take it off our neck, we can be free to beat the world!

Affiliate Marketings Attraction
For almost a year now, I've been involved in the Paid-To-Surf Industry. I've built down lines in programs, I've made money, I've lost some. I even wrote an e-book about the "industry".
Being involved as long as I have, I've seen many programs fall. I've seen many people lose money instead of make money online. These people are all the same as me. They were looking for a way to earn money online. They saw the potential, but were blinded by the $$$$ and missed the risk involved. Having said this, I'm still a fan of a couple select PTS sites. I won't go into that here, because that isn't what I'm talking about in this blog.
Only recently did I come across "The Rich Jerk" in one of these surfing programs. I'd seen it before. I'd read most of it. I don't know what attracted me to read it again. Eventually, after pondering getting sucked into another internet scam, I decided to make the purchase. I read the entire book. I checked out their forums (I LOVE FORUMS!!). I thought about what he was saying (or at least what his marketing department was saying :) )
While searching around on ClickBank for a "niche", I came across "Breakthrough Money Making Secrets Revealed" by Holly Mann. I bought it, I read it. Now, I can't get enough information about affiliate marketing. I can't learn enough about blogs, SEO, AdSense, AdWords, Articles, etc.
Why?
This is something that the average "online money maker" can do. Perhaps not something they can be as successful as the gurus out there. But success should be defined individually. Reaching almost 50 subscribers on one of my latest sites is something I consider successful. By some standards, that might be considered low. But to me, I considered in a months time 50 subscribers in a niche market awesome!
In affiliate marketing, you get to sell other peoples products for them. It's win win. You don't have to create something yourself, and you make money.
Designing Web Sites these days are as simple as creating a Word Document in most cases. Designing an SEO site isn't the easiest thing in the world until you're knowledgeable in that arena. As you create a site, you can go back and work on these "tweaks" as you learn more. You don't have to start out huge.
There are many to follow that have been huge successes online. Study them. Learn from them. Google Search Engine is your friend! Find a forum with a warm community to ask questions and learn from the pros. Remember my philosophy -- The only dumb questions are the questions not asked (or the questions already answered by using the "search" function). The internet is HUGE place!! Don't let anyone tell you there's not room for you.
Here is a starting place for anyone interested in achievements in life:
What's a starting point for the aspiring Affiliate Marketer? I'd say start with the Holly Mann's e-book and follow the lead of a leader!

Honest Riches by Holly Mann
Holly Mann, the author of "Honest Riches" is a very intelligent marketer and author. If you'd like more information about her, you can find information on her website here. Just click on the "My Story" link on the right hand side in the navigation bar.
In summary of her, she's ex-military and I'm sure works full time as a mother.. was broke, moved to Thailand to survive, and after only a few short months, she was earning a living online.
This book costs about 20 bucks. It's 54 pages and almost every page is chalked full of information that she's attained over the years in earning a substantial income online. I've read a ton of e-books on generating money online, but never anything like this. She covers everything from the top to the bottom. You can't walk away from this e-book feeling like you just got jipped like so many other e-books have left me feeling.
For 20 dollars, she's basically giving this e-book away. Now, not only (here we go right? lol) do you get the e-book, but she also offers many bonuses along with the e-book and some found only in the e-book.
However, one of the greatest things that you can walk away from this e-book is access to her forums and all the individuals that come together as a community online and share information with each other and desire to help people learn to earn on the internet.
If you've not read "Honest Riches", please take the time to make this purchase. It could very well be the expense to change your life! If you don't like it, there's a money-back guarantee.

Introduction
Many people on the internet today are seeking out a means of earning at least some bonus money on the internet. Wouldn't it be nice to learn how to at least earn enough money online every month to cover the expense of the internet in your home or office?
What about earning enough money online to pay for your new car payment? What if you could pay off your student loans in a year? A few months, weeks, days?
What about paying for a house with cash?
By now, I hope your not thinking, "Oh, here we go again. Some new B.S. hyped up blog". Because that's not my intention. I literally BELIEVE that it's possible to achieve financial wealth on the internet and use it to invest in other long term investments that will allow you to sustain wealth for the long term. After all, who wants to be rich for a short while?
First, don't even bother reading on if you're just seeking some new means of making a quick buck. I can't tell you how to do that. You're wasting your time here.
Secondly, if you're looking for happiness in money, good luck. You're also are wasting your time.
If you are a looking for a way to help each month with your financial situation and grow into something much, much better, then become equipped with the right knowledge and when applied properly, you can attain wealth beyond your wildest dreams.
I'd like to recommend that anyone reading this blog please watch "The Secret". This is a great video created just for those that are looking for a rhyme and reason to why they're broke or why things "never go their way". If you can't afford to purchase the DVD, spend the 5 bucks to watch the movie online. It's a one time viewing, but it will have you wanting to watch the movie over and over again.
Let's focus on earning a substantial internet income starting a shoe-string budget and become successful together. I believe that this can be and will be accomplished.
It will not be the fastest way to the top, but will definitely be an experience.
Here is something to think about:
