Staying Healthy and Making Money Online

Shhh, the secret is out and all the hard sellers are scrambling to learn the “new” art of selling without selling. While those that consistently create good content and come up with innovative products are creating business that will last there still exists a small army still spamming and scamming no matter what the consequences.

Despite the hard lessons being taught many still believe that just having that one week of great sales will put them over the top. They don’t care that the refund rate is 25% or higher and that those who purchased are slamming them on the forums. “Who cares I got my money and I am out of here anyway”. Leaving behind more confusion among those trying to learn and the SE’s clamping down again.

While in the long run these will not hurt the legitimate guys and gals it still costs them in lost time when they need to go back and create even more great content and hope that their customers realize that it is not you they need to avoid.

So are there any examples of selling without selling. Some TV commercials come to mind like the Bud Weiser commercials where tho horses are playing football and then going way back is the Burger King commercial where they would like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. These are not as subtle as some of the examples I have come across but it will give you an idea of what we are looking for.

Deep down we know we are being sold when we see any commercial because that is what we are told from a very young age. A company pays the TV stations or a network money to run their advertisements selling the companies products. So when we see a company like Burger King or Nike on TV we expect that we are watching an advertisement and you almost instinctively look for the “pitch”.

I have to agree with many who have said that there is really no such thing as selling without selling but more likely finding the best way to demonstrate the benefits of your product.

Face it summer is gone. I hope you had a good one because this one is in the history books. A summer like this makes me wonder if they are screwing with the weather. We had more storms than I can ever remember having in the past and I have a long past.

Oh well we are learning soooo much and putting it to use that I can’t see any reason not to continue trying to pass it along.

You may remember in some previous posts I was starting a tutorial on putting up a free website and selling the product you just created from all the PLR you purchased or downloaded from a free PLR site.

What makes this different from all the other people out there trying to teach you how to make money online? I am going to let the product drive the campaign. Where you are normally asked “What do you like to do?” or “What are your hobbies?” or, what gave rise to this whole notion, “What is your passion?”.

What I decided to do is let the product I choose decide my passion. I do this as an affiliate but I need my own product. I think money can be made without your own product but for me having my own will give me the leverage that I feel that I need.

So starting with the next post I will begin my Tutorial on dusting off those PDF and ZIP files, randomly choosing one and then deciding if you can make money online with your choice.

I have a great quote to share with you today and I will incorporate this with my little tutorial, somehow.

“Cheerfulness is the atmosphere in which all things thrive.” Johann Paul Richter

Life has been a bit tough lately and yesterday I hit the wall. Which means I can’t seem to think and my energy level is at the bottom.

I am not sure what problem I should tackle first as I have several. These problems are totally unrelated to making money online and that is probably why I don’t want to tackle them.

These problems sit on my shoulder and cause me to lose what little confidence I have and are the sole contributor to my hitting the wall and feeling unable to move. Like being in a vehicle teetering on a mountain ledge I am frozen and afraid that the wrong move will plummet me into the abyss.

I read a post from a gentlemen the other day admitting that he was addicted to Internet Marketing. All I can say is welcome. I think he is in better shape than I am as he has made money. That seems to allude me.

I am waiting for the last bit of my affiliate earnings to disappear from my Clickbank account.  If you have ever made a sale on Clickbank and then could not make any more, you know what I am talking about. About the 6th month in you start seeing your commission start to go down due to fees.

The only thing that I could think of was that I would hate to be close to getting paid and then the sales stopped. My sales stopped after only one sale so I was spared that at least.

Well tomorrow I shall have to pick myself up, dust myself off, listen to Winner Words at least once or twice and then jump back into the Internet Marketing fray. The thought of making money online is addictive and I am just another junkie loving every minute.

As for the non Internet Marketing tasks I will pick one and do the following:

• Write down the task so that I can fully understand what needs done.
• Make an inventory list of what information, tools and supplies that I need.
• Take stock of what I already have so that I don’t waste money purchasing something twice.
• Break the task down into smaller tasks.
• Get Started

As you can tell I do have the basics down for getting things done. My problem is in finding the motivation to actually do them. This is because my only motivation at the moment is to be online and be successful at affiliate marketing and creating my own product. Nuff said.

Today at Staying Healthy and Making Money Online:

OK I have my pages back. You have to mouse over the Pages tab at the top left and all of the pages will appear.

With all my time constraints I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this Suffusion template.

When you go to the “Appearance” selection you see a selection under Themes that says Suffusion options and when you click on that you get this

Welcome to Suffusion! But first…
DON’T PANIC!!

The words “DON’T PANIC” are Huge much larger than I am showing here. Much larger. I wonder if I should panic anyway?

So, bear with me as I slog through all this information and do some experimentation. Perhaps you noticed a minor change I made to my site today but not if you’re a first timer so just pretend not to notice if you were here recently.
