During the years of doing business online I advised many of my friends to build their own online business, so they can make a few dollars on the side as a nice supplement to their 9 to 5 job.

You don’t need me to tell you that not everyone wants to be the next Internet guru, and make thousands of dollars per day online.

Yes, many people love their 9 to 5 job, and simply want to have a secondary income.

What I always recommend my friends to do, is to create a short ‘how to tutorial’ on a subject that they feel they are skillful and passionate about, and then sell the tutorial they have made to others for a certain price they feel is reasonable.

Because I know that many of my friends don’t know how to build a website, I always offer to build the website for them (for no charge obviously).

Yet, during the years I have came to realize that lack of knowledge on how to build a website is not the sole hindrance my friends experience on their quest of having an online presence.

The major hindrance they experience is that they simply don’t believe that they are skillful enough to teach others what they know.

It is like they feel that they need to be at a certain ‘skill level‘ before they can call themselves an expert, and thus make money online by teaching others what they know.

My thoughts on the subject are as follows:

I don’t subscribe to the point of view that one must be the ultimate expert on a certain subject before he / she can teach others what they do.

I personally feel that all you really need in order to be ‘qualified‘ to teach others what you know is to know a little bit more than others about your chosen subject.

That does not mean that I think that you should tell others that you have made a lot of money online by implementing SEO on your website, and you can thus teach them how to be an expert like you, if you haven’t made that kind of money with SEO.

Yet, you can surely call yourself an SEO expert if you know how to do a certain task with SEO that others don’t know how to do (if you really know how to do the task that you claim to know).

For example, if someone knows how to do SEO very basically, and he / she is happy to transfer his / her knowledge to others.  I would consider him / her an expert, and would love to buy his / her tutorial (If this was a subject I wanted to learn).

This is simply because that for guys like me who know absolutely nothing about SEO every person who knows something about SEO is an expert that can help us move the next level.

There are many people who very much want to learn the very basics of a certain subject, yet they simply can’t find a teacher who can explain to them the basics in a a simple way.

You can be sure that this group of people would be very happy to pay you to teach them how to move from ‘knowledge level’ zero to  ’knowledge level’ one (if you are at level one).

So, the question:

How To Be An Expert?

Is not the right question to ask.

The right question would be:

You already are an expert, so WHY are you not acting like one?

Thanks for reading!

One of the main reasons why some people make money online, and other people don’t, is that the successful group keep producing new content (blog posts, products, services, etc..), and the unsuccessful group keep procrastinating in doing those things.

If you find that procrastination prevents you from being the best you know you can be, then here are 3 habits that if developed can help you tremendously.

Habit 1 – Take Your Goal, and Slice it To Tiny Pieces

If you want to achieve online success then you have to be the master of your thought (not the other way around).

If you have only made a few dollars online, and you say to yourself “I want to earn a $1000 online by next month “then you most likely going to  procrastinate because the goal you set for yourself will not look real and achievable to you.

This does not mean that you can’t aim for a $1000, yet it will be better if you say to yourself something like:

“My main goal is to make a $1000, so my mini goal is to first make $10, and my second mini goal will be to make another $10, and so on…”.

If you slice an unrealistic goal to tiny realistic goals, then you will have a great chance of achieving your main unrealistic goal, because every tiny mini goal will look to you more achievable, and you will feel a sense of accomplishment and a sense of moving forward with each mini goal you complete.

Now, let’s move to Habit 2:

Habit 2 – Put A Clear, and Definite Deadline

One big reason why people keep failing in achieving their goals is that they don’t want their goals bad enough, and so they don’t set a deadline for those goals.  I have mentioned this in my Flip Course, yet I will write it again.

“…Procrastination seems to be one of the major factors which causes people not to reach their full potential.  Yet, if one’s reason to become successful is strong enough he / she will override his tendency to procrastinate. For example, you may know that building an on-line business will really boost your life, but the reason for wanting to build a business is not so strong in you. So, you will procrastinate by doing other things. Yet, if someone gave you a strong reason why you should build a business, like pointing a gun to your head, you would have built  your business in no time. So, reason is the fuel which must be in place for one to be a success…”

We actually need to change our mindset from: ‘we want to achieve’ to  ’we have to achieve’.

For example, I have to achieve fluency in Mandarin in 3 month.

You must put a deadline to everything you want to achieve, and in this case this means to put a deadline to those tiny mini goals I suggested you set.

For example, if your main goal is to make $1500 per month by creating a network of small blogs, then your first mini goal should be to create one blog.

Now, instead of only saying:

“I will create one blog”

say:

“I will create one blog by the end of this month”

Habit 3 – Be Accountable

So, you have a main goal, a few tiny goals, and you also put a deadline for your tiny goals.

Now you need to tell everyone you know about your project.

If you have a blog which is getting some traffic, and comments why not share your journey on that blog?

If you are not updating your blog on a regular basis then documenting your online journey may just be the boost you need.

Sharing your online journey on your blog (especially if your blog is popular) will “force” you to keep going, and motivate you not to give up when you don’t see the results you are looking for.

Thanks for reading!

I always say that the best way to make money online is to find someone who is already successful, and then follow his / her footsteps.

The problem with implementing this philosophy is:

That you don’t know who to trust.

There are so many scammers online who sell “money making” products and services that simply don’t work, yet tell you that you are getting the ultimate money making system in their sales pages.

In this blog post I want to share with you a few of the methods I use to research a money making product before making a buying decision.

I will also share with you the ‘advantages’ and the  ’disadvantages’ of using each method.

Let’s start:

Method 1 – Google

Type the name of the product you consider buying in the Google search line, and then add the word ‘review‘ at the end of the sentence. Then you will want to click the Google ‘search’ button.

The Good – Many of the Google results you will get will be real honest review posts from bloggers who have tried the product that you consider buying, and have decided to share their reflections of the product with the Internet community.

Those bloggers review can help you determine if the product you consider buying will be right for you.

The Bad –  In a perfect world, this method would be all you really need to determine if a person / product / service you consider investing in is right for you. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world, and many of the “honest” reviews you will find are simply biased reviews from the product affiliates who care less if you will ever make money online. The only aim of those affiliates is that you will buy the product through their affiliate link, so they will get a commission from the sale.

Method 2 – The Warrior Fourm

If you have been trying to make money online for some time now then I am sure that you have at least heard of the ‘Warrior Forum’. As the name suggest, the ‘Warrior Forum’ is simply a big forum where people who want to make money online gather to share information about making money online.

The Good – Just type the name of the product or its owner on the Warrior Forum, and you have a good chance of finding a discussion thread on one or both of them. After reviewing all the positive and negative comments on the discussion thread you can decide whether or not you want to invest in the product.

The Bad – Many affiliates and product owners know about the Warrior Forum, and thus they can make a bad product looks good by posting so called honest reviews. It is not rare for a big time guru to tell his /her Internet buddies to go to the Warrior forum, and post something nice about his / her product.

Method 3 – IM Report Card

Imreportcard.com is a gigantic review site that reviews many make money online products. Besides the review made by the IM Report Card staff, people who join the IM Report Card community can add their own review if they have bought the product.

The Good - The IM Report Card site is considered one (if not the most) trustworthy review site online, and you have a very good chance of finding honest product reviews there.

The Bad – Maybe it is just my skeptic nature, but even though IM Report Card is considered a very trustworthy site, I do believe that product owners can send their friends to give a biased review of their product. If biased reviews can be found on the Warrior Forum then why couldn’t they also be found on IM Report Card.

Method 4 – A Recommendation From An Honest Marketer

Maybe it will be a long process of trail and error until you will find an honest marketer that you feel you can fully trust, and one day when this mentor will recommend a product / service that he / she thinks can help you move your business to the next level, you will be more receptive to his / her commendation because he / she has gained your trust by not recommending products that he / she does not believe in.

The Good – You get a good recommendation from an honest mentor who will hopefully not want to jeopardize his / her reputation by recommending bad products.

The Bad – An honest recommendation from a mentor you trust is great, but it is still no as good as getting an honest recommendation from a good friend or family member who surely wants what is best for you. Even the most honest mentors I know have sometimes promoted products that they don’t believe in just because they were thinking about the commissions, and the traffic they will get from the product owner.

Method 5 – A Recommendation From A Friend

As I suggested in Method 4, honest marketers sometimes promote products that they don’t fully believe in, and a good friend of yours (in many of the times) will not do the same.

The Good – You will (in most cases) get a more reliable recommendation from a good friend.

The Bad – A friend is a big word, and a virtual friend that you  have only met on Facebook is not like a friend you have met in high school. Moreover, even a good friend that you have known for years can recommend products, people, and services to you out of pure self interest.

Method 6 –  Buying From Clickbank.com

This is probably the best method to find a good money making product. If you buy a product from Clickbank.com then you have 60 days to test the product. If the product is good then be honest enough not to ask for a refund, yet if you have tried the product for 60 days, and you don’t feel the product is good then simply ask for a refund, and get your money back.

The Good –  You buy products with zero risk.

The Bad- I can’t find anything bad about this method. You try out a money making system for 60 days, and if you don’t feel that the money making system is good you just ask for your money back. Just make sure that you really try the system for 60 days, and not just make a fast conclusion if a product is good or not after only a few days of just making a superficial review of the product.

Hope this helps!

If you are creating online content on a regular basis (blogs posts, eBooks, etc…)  then sooner or later you will probably want to buy images as a supplement to your content.

You can surely find millions of images online by doing a simple Google search, and then download those images to your computer to use for your content.

Yet, there is one major problem with this method, and it is:

‘Well…not very legal’.

Many of the pictures you will find online are copyrighted, and you simply can’t use a picture without permission.

Sure, you can find the images that you want to download, and then contact the owner of those pictures, and ask if you can use them for your content, yet this can be a very slow and tedious process.

So, if you have been struggling with getting images, here are the three super quick ways I personally use to get free images for my products,  and blog:

Method 1 – Dreamstime

Dreamstime is a huge website that is just full with high quality stock images that you can download  for a certain price. Yes, many of the images you will find on Dreamstime do cost money, yet Dreamstime also has a free images section.

You can be sure that with Dreamstime free really means free. You don’t need to pay even a cent, and you don’t need to opt-in to any marketer’s list to access the image – Yes, it’s really free.

The only “catch” is that you need to register to the site in order to access their ‘Free Section’.

Click here to access the ‘Free Images‘ section.

Once you are on the Dreamstime websites, make sure that you read the site’s terms and conditions, and the license under each picture.

Method 2 – Flicker

Flicker is a huge  website where users share images with others. Many of the images you will find on Flicker are fully copyrighted, yet there also other images which are under the Creative Commons license which basically means that the images are still copyrighted, but you are allowed to use the images under certain rules..

Click here to view the images which are under the creative commons licence.

After you click on an image that you like, you will then need to scroll down, and click the ‘Some rights reserved‘ link under the ‘License‘ section at the bottom right side of the image page. You will then need to agree with the rules before downloading, and using the image.

Method 3 – Take A Picture

The best way to get images for free is just to take pictures of yourself using your camera.

This method is very effective for a few reasons:

1. You don’t need to pay for images.

2. You are the copyright owner.

3. You stand out from the rest, because most bloggers and product owners use stock images.

4. You are in control of what will be in your pictures.

Click here for an example of a very famous blogger who is using this method for his blog posts.

If you have read my previous blog post then you already know that eBay is the number one place I recommend you go to sell cheap domain names.

In this post I am going to explain why:

Reason 1 – Traffic

You probably don’t need me to tell you that eBay is one of the most popular websites in the world, and due to that it will be in your best interest to sell your products and services there.

Many well known Internet gurus will tell you that they have made their first dollar online on eBay, and this is simply because of the sheer amount of traffic that eBay drives to sellers auctions.

Putting your auction on eBay.com is like putting a shop on a very popular shopping mall. Instead of working day and night to get people into your store you just put your store in a place where people are already at.

Reason 2 – Buyers

Of course traffic is important, but you also need the RIGHT kind of traffic, meaning, buyers traffic.

Many people who go to eBay.com go there to buy something, and not for any other reason. We can’t say the same thing about people who come to your site from Google.com, for example. Many times people who come to your site from Google.com are simply looking to find free information, and they hope that your site can deliever that free information to them.

Reason 3 – Feedback

Buying products and services online is not something revolutionary anymore, yet many people are still afraid of making purchases online due to scams. This is why a large group of people only make online purchases on eBay.

On eBay buyers can see the sellers feedback score, and thus they feel more comfortable buying products and services from sellers they feel they can trust.

So, if you do your very best to keep your feedback score positive on eBay, you will be able to attract more buyers.

I feel that many of us will prefer to buy a product or a service from an eBay seller who has thousands of positive feedbacks rather than from an unknown seller that sells outside of eBay.

Reason 4 – Costs

If you have built a website before then you know that building a website can get expensive. In many times you need to pay for traffic generation, writers, and also graphic designers. What you can do instead is just build an eBay store, and sell your items there for a low monthly cost. Not only will you pay low, but you will also don’t need to pay upfront, but rather at the end of the month.

Reason 5 – About Me Page

It is a well known fact that people buy products and services from people they feel they can trust, and a great way for you to create this trust is by simply using the eBay ‘About Me’ page. With the eBay ‘About me’ page you can give information about your Ebay business, but you can also share some personal information (hobbies you have, etc…) to make this special connection between you and your audience.

If you have completed my Flip Course training program then you already know how relatively easy it is to make money online fast by selling simple html websites.

I have made the word ‘relatively’ bold because making money online is certainly not easy.

To make money online you need to work hard.

Yet, if you compare selling websites (website flipping) to any other ‘make money’ method, then selling websites is a faster way to make money.

Now, I know that some people do find website flipping challenging to master because it involves a few technical tasks, such as creating, editing, and uploading html files (of course you can outsource those tasks), and I can completely understand that.

If you are one of the people who find the process of building a website challenging then I guess I have written this post specifically for you.

What do I mean?

I will tell you.

Did you ever hear about:

DOMAIN flipping (selling domain names)?

The process of selling domain names is very similar to the process of selling websites, yet it is so much easier.

If you are a domain flipper you don’t need to spend hours on creating a website because you don’t sell a website – you just sell a domain name.

The domain name is the unique address of your site (Google domain’s name, for example, is www.google.com).

So, if you were the owner of Google, for example, and you wanted to sell the Google’s domain name, then all you needed to put on auction was the Google.com domain name, and not the content of the site.

Of course, there are many different ways to sell domain names, and thus not all the domain sellers (also called domain flippers) are using the same strategies .

Some domain sellers prefer to buy cheap domains that cost them around $10, sell them shortly after for a small price, yet sell many domains (like I teach to do with websites in my Flip Course).

Other domain sellers prefer to buy more expensive domains, sell those domains for a higher price, yet sell fewer domains.

All very much depends on those seller budgets, and preferences.

Domain Sellers who sell cheap domain names are often times using eBay.com for selling their domains because eBay solves for them the buyers traffic problem. Meaning, instead of those domain sellers searching for domain buyers, they just go to eBay.com were the buyers are already at.

The disadvantage of using eBay.com on a regular basis to sell domains, and also the disadvantage of selling cheap domain names in general is that it is not….a passive income stream.

If you are selling cheap domains on eBay.com you always need to buy new domains, and list new auctions.

Yet, if selling domain names makes you a good income, you can surely outsource your domain flipping business to someone else, and thus make yourself less involved in the domains selling process.

If selling domain names is something that you feel can be the right business for you, then I would highly recommend that you start your Domain Flipping journey by selling cheap domain names, and not expensive ones.

I am saying this because selling cheap domain names will:

1) Require from you a lower upfront investment,

2) Will let you see results much faster.

One of the main reasons why people give up on making money online is because they don’t see any real results after weeks,  months, and sometimes years of working hard and spending money on their business.

Domain flipping is different.

Dont’t get me wrong, like with any other kind of business (online or offline) you do need to spend some of your own money to get going, yet unlike many other businesses you will see money coming in fast.

I want to share with you a great interview I did with Leo Babauta.

Leo Babauta is a simplicity blogger & author. He created Zen Habits, a Top 25 blog (according to TIME magazine) with 200,000 subscribers, mnmlist.com, and the best-selling books focus, The Power of Less, and Zen To Done.

Babauta is a former journalist of 18 years, a husband, father of six children, and in 2010 moved from Guam to San Francisco, where he leads a simple life.

He started Zen Habits to chronicle and share what he’s learned while changing a number of habits:

• Quit smoking (on Nov. 18, 2005).
• Became a runner.
• Ran several marathons and triathlons.
• Began waking early.
• Became organized and productive.
• Began eating healthier
• Became a vegetarian.
• Tripled his income.
• Wrote a novel and a non-fiction book.
• Eliminated his debt.
• Simplified his life.
• Lost weight (more than 50 pounds).
• Wrote several best-selling ebooks.
• Started a successful Top 25 blog.
• Started a second blog for writers and bloggers.
• Created a leading blog on minimalism.
• Gave up his car, and is now car-free.

The questions in this interview were submitted by the readers of this blog.

Enjoy!

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

1. If you were starting again, with no fame, no list just a domain and a wordpress blog, what three actions would you take to ensure the success of the blog quickly?

Leo: I would start by doing something really interesting — bold, inspirational, fun, passionate. You learn a lot by doing interesting things. Second, share what you’ve learned with others in a useful and interesting way. Powerful blog posts about fascinating things are what draw people to a blog and want to connect with you, follow you, forward your stuff to others. Third, I would have a story that people are interested in — for example, in 2005 I changed my entire life by focusing on little habits, losing 50 lbs, getting out of debt, becoming vegetarian, running my first marathon, quitting smoking, waking early and more — while having six kids.

2. How simple is it in reality to make a living online? I still believe that we can earn on line but at what cost?

Leo: It’s hard work, but incredibly simple. If you can do the three things I mentioned above, and do them well, you’ll do fine. You won’t necessarily get rich, but you can make a living if you are able to create a blog interesting and useful enough for people to follow you and share you with their friends and family. Most bloggers worry about too many things — if you simplify, and focus on great content and great stories and useful information, you’ll do fine.

3. In your point of view what are the best three methods to get traffic to your Blog / Clickbank site?

Leo: Do amazing things, create a powerful story, and create powerful content. That’s really all there is. I would also do guest posts, which is just another form of what I said, but on other people’s blogs. Guest posts are great ways to share awesome content with other people’s audiences. I did dozens of guest posts in my first six months as a blogger.

4. For a newbie blogger, what advice can you give?

Leo: Get started. Don’t wait for the perfect conditions, because you learn by doing, not by preparing. Connect with other bloggers. Have fun. Learn from the best.

5. What is the number one reason that people fail on-line?

Leo: They stop doing it. Too many people start but don’t keep going. Or they focus on the numbers — how many pageviews, how many Facebook likes or tweets, how much money — which is soulless and not useful to the reader. The reader will sense it.

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

What an amazing interview, thank you Leo!

I strongly feel that this is one of those rare interviews that you come back to read again.

I really hope that this powerful interview with Leo will help you take your blog to the next level.

If you are in the process of creating your own product, yet you fail to complete your project because you always feel that your product is just not good enough to go live, then I strongly feel that this blog post will benefit you.

Here are some super quick methods that can help you decide if your product is good enough to go live.

1. Amazon Comments – If your product is about ‘Social Media‘, for example, you can go to the Amazon website, and simply search for ‘Social Media’ books.

After you find a book on the subject of  ’Social Media‘, simply scroll down, and read buyers comments about the book on the book page (like in this example).

So, for example:

As you can see by clicking on the hyperlink I have provided above, one buyer said:

“…Too much coverage of the history of the internet, email, and web pages. If I was interested in that, I’d get a book on the history of the internet, email, and web pages…”

This means that maybe people who are interested in the subject of “Social Media” may want more advance information.

What you want to do is to take a pen and a piece of paper, and write all the recurring feedbacks, and change your product accordingly.

2. Yahoo Answers – if you feel that your product doesn’t cover enough topics, then you can surely go to Yahoo Answers, and see what people are asking about.

So, for example, if your product is about ‘Affiliate Marketing‘ you can search Yahoo Answers for questions about ‘Affiliate Marketing‘, like in this example.

This is also an amazing method if you are writing an eBook, and you are struggling to come up with chapters for your eBook’s ‘Table Of Contents’.

For example, by going to this page, I can already pick a few good chapters for my ebook:

chapter 1: What is the best affiliate marketing program for beginners?

chapter 2: Affiliate Marketing- How quickly can one start making money?

chpater 3:…

3. Warrior Forum - another great way to find ideas is to go to the Warrior Forum, and simply do a search there for your product topic.

So, for example, if your product topic is ‘Article Marketing‘, you can search for the keywords ‘Article Marketing’ in the Warrior Forum, and search for warriors questions on this subject.

Here is an example:

That’s it!

One of the advantages of using the three methods above is that you don’t only see what people are actually looking for, but you also see the ANSWERS that they get for their questions.

After years of doing business online, I have discovered that recruiting JV partners is one of the best most fastest way to grow your business, so here are 10 steps which will really help you see results in this area.

10 steps for success with JV partners

1) Create a new folder on your computer, and title it “JV Partners“.

2) Visit websites which are related to you chosen niche.

3) Create a text document in the “JV partners” folder, and write down 7 – 8 websites which you think about promoting (look at things like: good sales page, good gravity – if we are talking about Clickbank products, good implicit content etc…).

4) Contact the 7 – 8 owners, on your list, by clicking on the “Contact Us” link (may be written differently) at the bottom of their websites.

5) Radiate genuine enthusiasm – tell the owners how much you are excited about their products, and that you will be more than happy to promote their product to your list, and also on your blog.

In the end of your email ask for a review copy of their product.

Here is a template you can use (feel free to use the template I give, but I suggest that you change it so it will be unique to you):

SUBJECT: Hi <website’s owner first name> it’s <your first name>

(make your subject line PERSONAL like I did here)

Hello,

My name is {your name}, and I am currently selling a very innovative {your niche} eBook right here on ClickBank.com.

I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished with my eBook, and I am sure that it will help a great deal of people.

I have a {your niche} blog, and I have written articles on the subject of {your niche} which are posted on thousands of quality websites all over the internet (if it’s true).

I am very exhilarated by the idea of your website , and I want to write a review about it, and post it on my blog.

I will also promote your product to my subscribers list.

I want to ask if you can provide me with a review copy of one or more of your products.

Regards,

(Your Name)

6) Send this letter to your list of 7-8 websites, and continue with your regular routine (writing articles, posting to blogs and forums..etc).

7) Wait for the JV partners reply:

After a while you will realize the following:

• A lot of web owners will ignore you completely.

• Some web owners will respond by asking you for some proof that you are really what you claim to be (have a blog, a website, and an eBook) before sending you their product – give them what they ask for.

• Some web owners will just send you their product (through a download page, or attached to the email) for free (may ask you to keep it for personal use only).

NOTE 1 –> Think of how much money you could have saved by just creating a simple website, blog, and eBook.

My email box is just flooded with products by top authors wanting me to promote their best products, I once paid hundreds of dollars for these products (they usually don’t have a review copy of their products, so they just send you the complete product).

NOTE 2 – > Really read what you are getting because it will make

you a better expert in your chosen niche.

Your focus should not be on the result (if someone sends you a review a copy or not), the important thing is to focus on creating correspondence between you and people in your niche.

8) Create a “products” folder inside the “JV partners” folder, and put the products you get inside this folder (you can also create subfolders, with names of each owner, to make things more organize).

9) Read / listen to the products you get, and choose the products which you really believe in.

10) Contact the selected JV partners, and tell them how much you enjoyed their product, and how exactly you are going to promote it.

HINT: don’t ask them to return a favor yet. Only ask them to write you a quick email to let you know that they got your email.

The reason for this is that you will find that many times they will contact you first by thanking you, and second by asking you if you can send them a review copy of your eBook (if they don’t, you can always send another email asking them to return a favor – it is always better if it comes from them, and not from you asking for it).

Here is a template you can also use:

Hi <owner’s name>,

I have read your eBook, and what can I say.

I am out of words.

I have been exposed to many ebooks, guides, seminars, audios..etc.

But, never have I seen such excellence in content.

It’s funny how you can tell when someone knows his craft.

I am going to write an excellent review on my blog, and promote your eBook like hell to my list.

Your eBook is second to none.

Thanks for sharing your l experience with me. It really is an honor.

Regards,

<your name>.

That’s it!

Is it hard?

Only if you think about it, but if you act on this information it is a stroll in the park.

Keep all the emails you get and send to the website owners (you don’t know when you need them).

Before I end this chapter, I just want to share with you 10% of the results I got after implementing the 10 steps to the first website I have ever created for myself:

It was……for a dating ebook!

1) The first JV partner (grav on clickbank: 27.00):

Hi Amir,

Thanks for your kind words!

I really appreciate your enthusiasm and appreciate that you’ll be promoting it.

I’m enjoying your book as well. I always think it’s better when someone has come from a background of zero success with women and overcame it.

I’m only on page 15 but this is very profound stuff so far.

I like the analogy of the tyrant and the importance of doubt to overcome negative thoughts.

So… I’ll be happy to promote your product too.

My plan will be to finish reading the book, write a review, and send out a broadcast email to my list in the next few weeks.

2) The second JV partner: (grav on clickbank: 47.81)

Hi Amir,

We got your mail.

We will send you a review copy soon.

By the way, send us a review copy for your program so I can take a look myself and decide to which groups of my readers it will interest most.

A couples of questions:

a) Is your book for guys or for women?

b) Can you set us up with a special discount link for your program, such as a $10 off your usual price? This is because I believe I can sell more of your program if there is an offer for my readers.

c) The normal cost for our program is US$47 and we want to give your lists of customers a special offer at US$37, and of course, we do not want the public to have access to this discount link.

So, let us know if you can insert your special affiliate link into your thank-you page, or into your autoresponder, so we can offer your customers a $10 discount off our program. You will still be able to get 70% for every sale you make, and we will give you a link to do the tracking too.

d) what is your clickbank ID?

May the light be with you!

3) The third JV partner grav: (grav on Clickbank: 14.41)

Hey Amir!

Thanks a lot! I put too much work into that thing.

The thing is, I’m still not completely finished the project – I still have a ways to go updating it I think.

I’m always on the lookout to upgrade my program wherever possible.

Do you have a review copy of your program? I am setting up an autoresponder course for my customers.

After 60 days, I start promoting good products.

Let me know, Amir…and thanks!

Cheers

As I see it now:

99% of success is just taking action!

Hope you enjoyed!

On February 4, 2012 I have started writing a series of 15 blog posts which I entitled “Blogs Academy‘, and on February 23, 2012 I finished my work, and I have insert all those blog posts inside a single PDF file (which I am going to sell in the future).

The result was a 100 page eBook.

The main thing that always stops me from creating new eBooks (or any new kind of product) is not lack of ideas, but rather lack of persistence to continue on with my idea until the end.

In this blog post I want share with you some of the little tricks that have helped me become more persistent, and can help you remain persistent in your journey to write your own 100 page eBook.

Here are the tricks:

1. Find A Hot Subject That You Are Passionate and Knowledgeable About

One of the things that prevents many people from even starting to write is that they simply don’t know what to write about, and even if they do know what to write about they are not sure if other people will be interested in their topic.

A great way to solve this is to simply do a little bit of research.

Go to websites such as Magazines.com or Dummies.com, and simply look at what other people are writing about (Magazines.com and Dummies.com will not release a magazine / book before making sure that their topic is popular).

Once you find a popular subject that you are both passionate and knowledgeable about you can move to the next step (if you are not knowledgeable about your subject – you can become knowledgeable – read magazines, books, courses, etc.. on your subject).

2. Commit To A Writing Schedule

Once you find your subject, I would suggest that you open up a blog, write one single post every day to it, and make each post you write no more than 500 words.

For many people just the ‘mental picture‘ of writing a 100 page eBook can be so overwhelming, so why won’t we change this ’100 page eBook mental picture’ to a ’500 words per day mental picture’.

Sometimes you just need to change the words.

For many people the task of writing a 500 words post every day can be quite challenging because they always feel that the post they have written is just not good enough to publish. The result is that they rarely publish new content or give up on producing new content entirely.

My approach to this is that you should:

a) Write your post from start to finish fast and without editing.

b) Publish your post on the Internet.

c) Edit your post as best as you can.

Many bloggers do step (c) before (b) and this is why they find it so hard to produce new content, yet if you do step (c) after step (b) you will do whatever you can to finish your post, because you know that this unedited post is ‘not perfect‘, yet it’s currently LIVE on the web.

That’s it!

So, I am now going to publish this 500 words post, and then edit it.
