Better Text Ads isn't just an ad service or stand-alone money making opportunity. Better Text Ads incorporates several other programs with earning potential to facilitate Multiple Incomes!
I'm digging up some extra information on the other programs right now, so I will be back to post soon about those.
Nu Url is a site that has an affiliate program while offering the benefits of shortening your ref-links, blog links, website links, and other links so that they won't be tampered with.
Their site is very easy to navigate and the shortening of URLs involves a simple process of basically only 3 clicks. (Only 3 more clicks to make SURE that you are organized in your members area).
1. Click the 'Create Nu Url' link 2. Enter the Url/ref-link that you want to protect/shorten 3. Click the 'Create Nu Url' Button....
Voila! Your link is created.
Okay okay - so you want to stay organized?
Click on the 'Members Area' link and your newly created URL will be in a list. You'll be able to 'edit' your link here - meaning - 'Name your link' using the edit feature so that you can easily tell which link is 'which-from-what-not' among the list.
From your Members Area, you can also 'reset' your link-hit count by clicking on the 'reset' icon directly beside each individual item. This won't reset everything, so it's great for tracking specific ref-links but not others - it's up to you.
Maybe you want a daily count on one site but a weekly count on another. If so, only re-set the daily onces that you're interested in tracking that way...simple
Also, from this area - you can view the Nu Url-made link or your original link so that if you forget where in the heck you put your ref-link data , you don't have to worry. Both bits of info waiting for you in your Members Area.
Did I mention that Nu Url will PAY YOU for using their program? Yep - they pay out, too, which is a bonus with this program. I would use their tracker service even if they didn't have an affiliate opportunity! The Nu Url system is just SO EASY to use!
I mean - even if you find that 'Resell Rights' aren't for you - the free videos that Liz and John have made available are second-to-none! The videos walk the viewer through every stage of what it takes to set up a simple online Reseller business. You can change the 'reseller' part anytime you want and do some other 'niche' or area of business online.
The plain truth of the matter is:
In order to become really successful with a sustainable business and online earning, you'll need a website.
Luckily, Liz and John's videos show you how to deal with getting a website set up - right from selecting your web domain name and gaining a web hosting account - right on up to how to upload files to your new website, make pages where people can download from you and - best of all - how to make sure you get PAID automatically from the download page!
This program is something that you shouldn't pass up! It's free for the time being, but I'm not sure how long Liz and John are planning on allowing all of this advanced information to be had for free!
Many people will fail in their efforts to earn money online simply because they don't acquire the right mindset to 'to the job.'
It is true that there is an annoying abundance (too much so) of scams and scammers online waiting to steal your money, however, in real life, on the real streets, roads, and pathways, there are also scammers and scams just waiting to happen. This second fact doesn't keep most people from going to work, changing jobs, finding better jobs, and setting up their businesses. It shouldn't keep YOU from setting up your internet business and earning online if this is really what you've decided to do!
To start, you'll have to learn to develop the self-talk, attitude, and focused mind-set that is necessary to succeed. This doesn't just apply to online efforts, but also is important in EVERYTHING YOU DO!
If your attitudes are not in line with what you want to accomplish, you will have a difficult time succeeding in oline business. Even the best softwares, connections, tools and information will be of no great use to you if you haven't got the mind-set for making your ideas work!
10 important things to keep in mind or to consistently do:
1- Don't allow past failures to dictate what you will do today!
2- Don't focus on problems! Acknowledge problems but focus on solutions!
3- Every challenge is an opportunity
4- Focus on success, optimism, solutions, positive results, and moving ahead
5- block negative people OUT of your head and your business
6-actively remind yourself that your goals are attainable
7- see your environment as abundant - use what is available for good purpose
8- keep a 'Daily Success' journal and record daily accomplishments
9- once per day, at least - read aloud yesterday's accomplishments
10- View 'failure' as 'instruction' or as 'lessons' instead of negative things.
Make these 10 items into a checklist for a different section of your Daily Success journal.
Use this journal at least twice per day - once at the very beginning of your day - and if your day has been too hectic, at least dedicate time to using your journal a second time - at the end of the day.
It would be extra helpful to have a 'hard-copy' journal instead of an electronic (doc.file of some sort) kind of journal - because you should be able to carry a small journal-book almost anywhere during your day. If your spirits need a boost, this way, your journal can always be with you. Dedicate yourself to keeping this journal for at least 30 days.
Whether you already have the right physical tools for success or not (tools for internet business - software, webspace, products, etc), you still have to stay focused.
You also must BELIEVE in yourself and your purpose. Possibly, the only reason why you haven't achieved online success yet is because you haven't APPLIED yourself to make your dreams happen. Quite simply - you've just 'not done it yet,' that's all. You may have even 'started' before - but you likely haven't followed through with applying your ideas yet. Just because it hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean that it is not possible. The exact opposite is often true - because it hasn't been done yet, it is entirely possible! In fact, because it hasn't been done yet - ensures that your ideas have not been DISPROVEN! Look at things THIS WAY - instead of other ways that debilitate your spirit and sink your resolve or beliefs in yourself and your ideas!
Watch successful people!
You'll notice that most successful people are really highly FOCUSED on the ideas surrounding SUCCESS! Also - they TRULY BELIEVE in themselves and their ideas. The present positive points, solutions, and often see 'challenges' where other people see ruin.
If you don't have highly successful, positive people directly within your own circle of friends, or you have restrictions of any kind with physically meeting up with successful people, there are TONS of videos online - and pertinent audio recordings available from successful people wanting to share their positivity and success.
In a short time, you'll likely not have to worry at all about the last paragraph or any restrictions in the way of being around highly motivated, successful, positive-minded people - because YOU WILL ATTRACT them as soon as you are like-minded, concentrating on positive, motivational, and successful ideas, people, outlets for your ideas, etc.
I'm not 100% sure why it happens - but in the same way, I'm not 100% familiar with gravity or why gravity is a certain thing in our world - I only know that they both are absolutely REAL. Like will attract like - just the same as gravity will make things with a certain weight fall down!
Since I just introduced a science topic tidbit (gravity), I'll draw your attention to another little scientific topic - a wonderment - one of old...
Scientist of old used to believe that the Earth was flat - that if you went to the very edge of it, you could fall off and disappear forever. Consequently the entire world population of old believed this - because this is what all the best science could explain about the Earth.
Then a person of scientific background who found out differently - who figured out that the Earth wasn't flat - was very unpopular with the masses during his lifetime. The first few generations of people who read of or heard of his claims that the Earth was a sphere - were in turmoil, however, a few generations later, the world population commonly accepted the 'round' or 'spherical' Earth explanation.
Once the newer explanation was accepted into belief and knowledge, then future scientists and populations could utilize this information to better advantage - better than when they thought the Earth was flat!
Explorers were no longer hedging distances they sailed due to fear of falling off the Earth...they could now sail an UNLIMITED distance, discover lands, seas and places that they would never have guessed about. They could sail around the world if they wanted to!
Well, they wanted to! And they did!
The power of belief in YOU can be just as debilitating as you let it be. It can be as debilitating as believing the world is flat.
Or - your beliefs can be as EMPOWERING as the belief that the world is round!
Fighting Spam How prevalent is Spam? According to Scott McAdams, OMA(Ontario Medical Association) Public Affairs and Communications Department (www.oma.org):
"Studies show unsolicited or 'junk' e-mail, known as spam, accounts for roughly half of all e-mail messages received. Although once regarded as little more than a nuisance, the prevalence of spam has increased to the point where many users have begun to express a general lack of confidence in the effectiveness of e-mail transmissions, and increased concern over the spread of computer viruses via unsolicited messages."
(what was meant above is.........It's ALL OVER THE PLACE, Affecting nearly everyone.)
In December of 2003, in the U.S.A., President Bush signed the "Can Spam" bill. This was the first national standard developed surrounding the issue of 'bulk, unsolicited commercial e-mail'. Approved by 97 to 0, in a vote within the Senate, this bill prohibits senders of unsolicited commercial e-mail from using false return addresses to disguise their identity (spoofing) and the use of directories to generate such mailers.
In addition, it prohibits use of misleading subject lines and requires that emails include an easily visible 'opt-out' mechanism. The legislation also prohibits senders from 'harvesting' addresses from Web sites.
Violations constitute a 'misdemeanor crime' - subject to up to one year in jail.
One major point that requiring attention in this issue with spam is:
Spam is now coming from other countries in ever-greater numbers. Foreign emails are harder to fight, because they come from outside our country’s laws and regulations. Because the Internet extends beyond borders and internet users tend to have 'global mindset' when using the internet, the U.S. laws are fine where they can be employed and upheld - but are not sufficient to stop the collective 'Spam problem.'
What can be done about this?
Well - here are the top 5 Suggestions to protect yourself from spam:
Number 1: Do what you can to avoid having your email address out on the net. There are products called "spam spiders" that search the Internet for email addresses to send email to. If you are interested, do a search on "spam spider" and you will be amazed at what you will find. Interestingly, there is a site, WebPoison.org, which is an open source project geared to fight Internet "spambots" and "spam spiders", by giving them bogus HTML web pages, which contain bogus email addresses
A couple suggestions for this issue a) use form emails, which can hide addresses or also b) use addresses like sales@company.com instead of your full address to help battle the problem. c) There are also programs that encode your email, like jsGuard, which encodes your email address on web pages so that spam spiders will have difficulty reading your email address.
Number 2: Get spam blocking software. There are many programs out there for this. (try http://www.cloudmark.com/ or http://www.mailwasher.net/ ). You may also buy a professional version. Whatever you do, get the software. It will save you time. The software is not foolproof, but really does help. Often, a certain amount of 'manual set-up' is required, but it's worth it in order to block certain types of email.
Number 3: Use the multiple email address approach. There are a lot of free email addresses available online. If you feel that you must subscribe to newsletters, then simply create a "back-up" email address. This would be somewhat like giving your cell phone number to only your best friends but the phone number with your voicemail options to everyone else.
Number 4: Attachments from people you don’t know are BAD, BAD, BAD. A common problem with spam is that they have attachments and attachments can have viruses. Corporations often have filters that don’t let such things pass to you. Personal email is far more "open country" for spamers. General rule of thumb: if you do not know who is sending you something, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. Secondly, look for services that offer filtering. Firewall vendors offer this type of service as well.
Number 5: Email services now have "bulk-mail" baskets. If what you use currently does not support this, think about moving to a new vender. The concept is simple. If you know someone, they can send you emails. If you don’t know them, put them in the bulk email pile and then "choose" to allow them into your circle. Spam Blocking software has this concept as well, but having extra layers seems critical these days, so it is worth looking into.
Thousands of people - probably hundreds of thousands of people - look to the internet as a means to rid themselves of crappy jobs, crappy bosses, and mediocre paycheques. Most of these people are dreaming of the day they can enjoy MORE TIME with their families and friends, doing things they WANT TO DO instead of things they HAVE TO DO. People dream of dream jobs (big pay for little effort), dream homes, dream dates, and ideal situations. Obviously, in most global regions of the world, the abundance of MONEY will afford people the option of a higher degree of TIME available for families, friends and for doing things they want to do. Logically, it follows that people need more MONEY then, to be able to realize their dreams.
When asked, "How will you make your dreams into reality?" Most people BALK! Then they start to assume that (only because they don't know the 'HOW TO' part yet) they cannot realize their dreams and make them into 'reality.' From this train of thought and when people can't instantly answer the question, they start to focus on the negative, blank areas of the problem. Within a short time and, with no solid answer in front of them, most people simply GIVE UP their dreams - believing that they are not within their reach.
At this point, ALL IS LOST. People head back to their Traditional Jobs - under the potent assumption that 'dreams are just dreams' and 'traditional jobs are the reality' - the only jobs that really bring in the money with which to live.
The belief that traditional jobs are the jobs that bring in money - IS A FAULTY BUT COMMON BELIEF. These jobs are simply 'traditional jobs that bring in money.' That's all. They are a TYPE of job, one kind of WAY TO bring in money. They are concrete, explainable to a majority of people - and most of all - THEY ARE COMMON AND ACCEPTED by a majority of people.
THERE ARE THINGS IN LIFE OTHER THAN TRADITIONAL, KNOWN, COMMON JOBS.
People that stop problem-solving about how to reach the things they want - will not find the things they want ever within reach, however, people that keep problem-solving usually realize their dreams.
Ignorance is not bliss where dreams are concerned! Not knowing the 'hows' of getting to your dreams is simply 'being ignorant about how' to get what you want. Inhibiting or stopping the 'problem-solving' just reinforces the 'not knowing how' until no hope is left at all.
If you don't know how - FIND OUT! Ask questions, do research, hunt down the information you need that will bring you closer to what you want. Take responsibility for finding out all you can about HOW TO make your life better.
Step # 2 - Take action against ignorance and FIND OUT the HOW TO information that you need. The information is out there - FIND IT.
Ignorance is not an option. Overcome the fact that you don't know how - be FEARLESS in your pursuit of information that will tell, show, and explain HOW you can reach your goals.
My online earning experiences started with careful tenacious steps. It didn't take long for my computer to become kamikazi-ated and totally disorganized with eBooks, training 'help,' 'Get Rich By Monday' and 'Guaranteed Or Your Money Back' material.
I didn't get rich by Monday...or by the next Monday - or the next, either. I didn't ask for my money back because it took me so long to get through some of the training material that I missed the 'money back by this date' date.
It doesn't matter - it simply DOES NOT MATTER. Know why?
Because LEARNING BY MISTAKES IS UNDER UNDER UNDERRRRRRRRATED! That's WHY!
I'm not sure why - but most people will tell you NOT TO MAKE MISTAKES. I think that is garbage. I think that the best learing often comes from learning not to do something repeatedly that doesn't work. A great deal of learning is about filtering OUT mistakes.
Therefore - the most important thing about learning to earn online is TO STOP BEING AFRAID OF FAILURE! Heck if I had never taken any action because of everything scary in this world - I'd never have learned how to ride a bike when I was little (*Hint - incorporate the FEARLESSNESS of a child and you will begin to move forward - just like you did when you were a child!). If I'd veered away from everything that was uncomfortable or new, I'd never have learned to play guitar, either - those little, harmless-looking strings HURT at first but the discomfort is WORTH IT once you realize that you finally played a WHOLE SONG using just your fingers and an object that can't DO ANYTHING WITHOUT YOU.
I don't have the perfect 'Get Rich' formula yet but I know a lot about THINGS TO AVOID online, so much of this blog will be dedicated to telling WHAT DOES NOT WORK. I can say what to do INSTEAD of things that don't work and I can tell of what works for me.
The first thing that DOES NOT WORK when you're trying to earn online is:
Crappy Self-Talk and Negativity. (Saying to yourself, "I'll bet this won't work," and "I don't know what I'm doing, so this ain't gonna work out.").
When someone first told me that you can make money with Adsense and Blogging, I said "I'll bet this won't really work - probably because I'm a 'newbie' I won't be able to figure anything out." And, "Those people who are making money this way are people who already know a lot about computers - but I don't, so I probably won't be successful."
I didn't earn a damn thing while I was talking to myself that way.
I'll let you think about these things for a bit.
When I come back to post, I'll let you know the #2 thing that DID NOT WORK for me online.
Ever heard of 12-Step programs? They work pretty good for people who create 'chaos' in their lives and who take a 'kamikazi,' erratic path through life. 12-Step programs give great suggestions about how to get back to SIMPLE thinking and re-order your habits.
My Kamikaze Methods blog will have 'erratic,' miscellaneous information on it at times, but I am only going to work with 2 STEPS - 'cos that's as SIMPLE as I can get here. 12-step methods are for 'whole-life' consideration - this blog is not for the purpose of whole-life - it's just for KEEPING MONEY MAKING SIMPLE - so it only requires 2 Steps!
You have the FIRST step outlined already for you - "STOP BEING AFRAID OF FAILURE. Just Stop."
I have a wide range of interests from writing and blogging to researching on the topic of poverty. I study urban mythology and like to observe how the world works via the way people interact with each other.
