When marketing on the internet, sometimes you feel like your head is going to explode! The amount of tools, systems, and services out there will make your head spin which make promises of easy riches when you use them.
Every day, there seems to be another "magic tool" that pops up promising millions of visitors to your site and large sums of money in your bank account....effortlessly.
It can get overwhelming and take focus away from what you should be doing to build your business.
As you know, there are tools out there that not only make your life easier, but keep your business running on auto-pilot for you.
The trick is to know which ones to focus on and which ones to stay away from!
Let's go through the essentials which every top internet marketer depends on a daily basis to run their million dollar businesses...
1) Web Hosting
Obviously, without hosting, the internet would be a pretty boring place to hang out. If you have a domain name, you need a place to host it so others can find you.
Hosting companies out there range from free all the way to over $500 a month for dedicated hosting.
The key is to find a company that provides 99% uptime and also provides 24/7 support in case you ever have a problem.
And of course, just like anything, you get what you pay for.
2) Auto-Responders
Have you heard the phrase, "The Money Is In The List?"
Well, having an autoresponder and building a list that knows, likes, and trusts you is the fastest way to literally pushing a button and having money coming in your bank account... faster than you can say... Hot Biscuits!
The formula is simple.
Create a page that gives something of huge value totally away for free. This could be a free report, a video lesson, an audio interview, or a live webinar.
Then, in exchange for your free information, the visitor will give you their name and email address.
And then the magic happens. You can follow up with them automatically and offer more value and even get them to buy something!
This is all done using an auto-repsonder, all automatically and efficiently for you.
Again, companies providing auto-responders range from $20 a month up to $99 a month.
3) Video Hosting
The internet is all about video. And without some type of video on your website, most people will simply not hang around.
Video allows you to bond with your visitor and create more trust than with just words on your site.
We've all heard of YouTube for sure. But is a free service that is known for pranks, jokes, and music videos the right image for your business?
There's a reason the top marketers host their videos through paid services and you should to.
4) Website Builder and Prospecting System
99% of internet marketers don't have the time and/or the skills to create their own websites or prospecting pages. Trying to learn website design and html code is not the best way to spend your time.
That's where website builders come in. You simply customize your pages with your own video, product info, auto-responder, and you're done!
5) Live Webcasts
The most powerful way to sell is face to face. You get instant feedback and customers can ask questions and get their answers immediately.
Since we don't want to meet all our visitors in person... Webcasts are the next best thing.
We can sit in the comfort of our own homes and present to people all over the world. Product demonstrations, video overviews, live questions and answers, it's all possible with Webcasts.
If you're not using Webcasts in your business, you are missing out on thousands of dollars of sales.
Typical companies charge between $49 to $99 a month and more.
The Top 5 Essential Tools
These are the top five tools that every top marketer uses and depends on a daily basis to make sales on auto-pilot.
And you can too.
Now, you can get all these great tools from different companies and pay between $150 to over $350 each and every month.
Or, you can make the smart decision and get them all from one company and save a huge amount of money.
GVO offers all these tools under one roof and for only $1.45 a day. That's less than a Starbucks coffee!
And the best part is, for a limited time, you can take advantage of all these amazing tools and profit with them for a full 14 days for only a $1.
Don't decide now, use all the tools and see how powerful they are and how they will help explode your business online right now.
Go here for your test drive:

Discover How To Find The Easy Ways To Make Money Online
Do you have an under performing website? And it is okay if this is the case, believe me I have struggled with this problem all too often. I’ll let you in on a true secret about making money online. Are you ready? Here you go…
If you are willing to fail and learn from that failure you can go on to doing fantastic things online. And just like the title to this article states, I can show you how to find easy ways to make money. The trouble many people run into right away is becoming discouraged over their slow progress. My best advice to you is not to be in a rush. Study your mistakes, make small adjustments and try again.
While doing these adjustments be sure to keep good notes on what you do differently. You will do this in order to track your results. This is the only way to truly discover what is working and what isn’t. I wish I had a magic pill I could send you that would make you a pro marketer but I don’t. You are going to have to do the lions share yourself.
It is kind of like the dating process. You must make mental notes of what you did wrong on the date that turned the other person off. If you are married then you can relate to the fact eventually you got the dating ritual down pretty darn good. It’s the same with selling online. No tricks, no deceit just straight forward communication wins out every time.
In fact, the easiest way you will ever find to making money is to be straight with people. This way they no you can be trusted. Again, just like dating. This goes for business whether online or off, people are people. Keep that in mind and you will do well.
Another thing you can do while working to overcome your mistakes is to study websites of other marketers. Be darn sure though that these websites are making their owners money. Don’t waste your time on sites not performing well. It isn’t hard to find these sites either, start with the recognizable names of both marketers and well known websites.
Compare these sites to one another and look for the similarities. You will notice quite a bit of hype on many sites. Particularly in the “make money” circles. I don’t recommend studying hype but for discovering the triggers which make people buy. Once you have found these triggers give them a test with your own sites. Incorporate them into you design and sales copy. Be sure to do this slowly making just one change at time. You want to be able to easily discover if the changes that work. That is, makes more money. If some change actually makes your site less productive waste no time in changing back to your original design.
This isn’t rocket science by any stretch of the imagination. You can be successful finding these easy ways to make money with your website. It’s work but well worth the efforts. Another bit of advice as I end this article, find one person to follow. That is, don’t listen to the masses, ever. Trust me when I tell you they do not know what the are talking about. Find an expert, emulate their success by using of theirs which works for you.

Make Money, Online Business
Make money, online business. Hardly anyone likes their crappy day jobs. I bet you hate yours! If you randomly ask 500 ordinary people how they feel about their jobs, you would maybe get one or two who say they love it. Now go and ask 500 internet marketers the same question and almost all of them would love what they do for a living. The reason is because they make money with their own online business. If you think about it, how could you hate sitting at your home computer making money as the owner of an online business?!
In my case, this blog was created for that very purpose. I love to make money and doing it from my online business makes it even more enjoyable for me.
But there’s no point in showing people how to go about achieving success, when they are too blind to see get the message when it’s staring right at them. That’s why we have the horrible statistic of only 5% of all online business people are actually able to make money and a whopping 95% fail to make it.
Those aren’t made up numbers, they are facts! You can go ask huge internet marketers like John Reese or Willie Crawford if you don’t want to take my word for it. But I guess if you don’t believe what I tell you, why are you wasting your time reading this?
Well, if you are still reading this after that last sentence then I am going to assume you are one of the few who really do want to have a successful make money online business, so I will keep going for you.
There is one highly successful internet marketer who you have probably heard of. He’s called, “The Rick Jerk” and he is a very well-known success story in the online business world. He makes a lot of money online and he is certainly one of the most arrogant marketers in the world. But he can be because he does exactly what we all aspire to do: make money, online business. The Rich Jerk is not shy about telling us that he is a winner and we are losers. How can he get away with that?
Because he knows for a fact that he is almost 100% correct!
The Rich Jerk is an online winner and he is simply telling us flat out that 95% of us are losers. For him, that makes plenty of people angry enough to find out what he does to make money, which means they will buy his stuff and he will make money from them! He also gets a lot of people talking about him, usually in a negative way, but it still brings in a lot of traffic to his website, which brings in even more sales and money. It’s a perfect cycle for him.
Then you have people like John Chow who makes more money in a month from one blog than most of us will ever make. His online business blog is supposed to teach people how to make money online. However, he gets slammed on a daily basis for just about everything under the sun and one of them is that he rarely actually teaches anything about making money online.
Do you think he cares? No! He rarely even responds to the criticism and you never see him arguing back. The reason for that is because he makes money. Why should he care about what everyone is saying about him when he is the one laughing all the way to the bank?
So why do so many people fail in their make money, online business ventures?
One of the biggest reasons is that they listen to all the hype about making money in online business and believe that all they have to do is sign up for a program or buy some ebook, then sit back and watch the money pour into their bank accounts. When that doesn’t happen they quit and go tell everyone how they got scammed. They fail to realize that making money has never been easy. Just because you have an online business that doesn’t mean you don’t have to do anything. It’s still a business and you won’t make money unless you work at it.
Another reason so many people fail is simply that they give up. Most people decide they want to start an online business to make money and when they haven’t gotten rich in the first month, or even the first year, they give up. When you quit, you fail. The fact is that many of these same people would have gone on to build very successful online businesses and would be making much more money than they do right now if they wouldn’t have given up so easily.
I’ll tell you the honest truth right now if you are willing to listen… It is NOT easy to make money on the internet. In fact, it’s not even close to being easy. If you want to make easy money then don’t start an online business, instead go get another job. But it is very much possible to make money online if you are willing to put in the time and work, and are open to learning a few things.
One of the first and most important things you need to learn is that without traffic your online business is dead. Traffic is vital and search engines are your best friend when it comes to getting traffic. You can spend every minute of your life creating the best blog or website in the world but you won’t make money unless people visit your site and make a purchase, click on an ad, or do whatever else you need them to do in order to make money.
They won’t do anything that makes you money if they can’t find you in the first place!
So why did I say search engines are your best friends?
Because I know first hand that search engine traffic is the best kind of traffic if you really want your online business to make money. I have blogs with lots of regular readers and they get hundreds of visitors per day but they are not from search engines, so I don’t make squat from those blogs. I have other blogs with hardly any regular readers but plenty of traffic from search engines and they are where most of my money is made.
Same with my non-blog websites. I only make money from my online business websites that get a lot of search engine traffic. The other sites don’t make crap even if they do have a high amount of traffic from other sources.
The sites with all the regular readers contain tons of quality, unique content that I have been building up for years. Within those pages you can find everything you could ever want to know about make money, online business. Yet if they were my only internet income sources I would be one of the 95% of internet marketers who never make money online.
That’s right, all the information those blogs contain is all you would ever need to become a successful internet marketer with a make money online business. But blogs with a huge following of regular readers and lots of quality content are not the blogs that actually make money. Sure there are a few A-list bloggers who easily make money from their blogs through paid advertising and paid reviews. But most blogs of this kind are a lesson on how NOT to easy make money online. You have to word hard at it everyday, build up a huge following of regular readers, always be on the cutting edge of the internet marketing world, never take a break, etc… It’s not easy money!
This is the way it really works…
To make money, online business and actually find a way to easy make money, you need to look at the entire process from a different perspective. Yeah, you can still have your reader friendly blogs where you build up an army of followers while making a bunch of blogging friends along. That’s wonderful. But you also need to massively diversify your online business portfolio and set up blogs that are purely to make money, because I can almost guarantee you that your “reader friendly” blogs will not.
At this point you might be asking yourself why a reader friendly blog with a bunch of followers won’t make money.
Here is the answer…
When you create a blog that you want to make money from then you will have ads, affiliate links, or something else for them to click on that you earn money from based on their actions. If you write great content on a frequent basis and people are learning a lot from your posts or enjoy reading them for whatever reason, they will probably come back to your blog again and again to read your posts. If you are answering everything for them they have no reason to click on your ads to find the information elsewhere.
If you plan to make easy money from people clicking on your ads, you need to give them a good reason to click. One of the best ways to do this is to write your posts around what your visitors are looking for but don’t actually specifically answer any of their questions them. I know that sounds stupid and might upset your visitors, but you are not doing it to make friends, you are doing it to make money. Would you rather have a lot of happy readers or would you like to make money, online business?
One more good way to get visitors to click away on your ads is to have a blog design that is very unappealing to look at. If they can’t stand to look at your blog then they won’t stick around too long. In order to get out of there and find the information they want from another site, they will most likely click your ads. When they do that you will make money!
Another big reason regular readers will not click on your ads is because they see them all the time. If they come to your online business blog frequently to read your posts then they see the ads every time. It gets to the point where they don’t even notice them anymore so they certainly aren’t going to click on them. That’s not good for your make money online business.
If you really want to make money, then you have to separate your friends from your online business. You can’t try to make everyone happy all the time or you will go broke and have to stay at your day job for the rest of your life. If you are blogging for friends while trying to make money at the same time, you will quickly join the large percentage of online failures.
As I said earlier in this post, you need to attract highly targeted traffic from search engines.
And the main search engine that you want to get that traffic from is Google. That’s because Google is the top dog of all search engines. More people use them than all the other search engines combined. Their popularity brings in the most traffic, which turns into more people who will be searching for something and if your site is at the top of Google for that search then you will get many more targeted visitors.
Someone searches for make money online business because they want to know how to make money with an online business and they want to read how to do it on a website that Google will find for them. When they type in the keywords Google presents them with a bunch of pages full of websites that are relevant to their search term, make money online business. By the way, if you think that make money online business is a strange search you shouldn’t because it is searched for thousands of times every month.
When the listings come up they will probably click on the first site (or any of the sites on the first page of results) on the list and see what it’s all about. If they find what they are looking for they will close the site and go on with their happy lives. But if they don’t find it, they will probably click on an ad that promises to show them how to make money online and leave through that. And that, my friend, is how that website makes money! This is exactly the point I am trying to get you to understand. When thousands of people visit that site every month and even a small percentage of them click the ads, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that site owner is earning a nice income from their ads.
So what you want to do is get on the first page of Google results and get your share of those earnings!
The only way to do that is to show them that your site is a top authority on that keyword phrase. I encourage you to stay away from the make money online niche because it is way too competitive and almost impossible to break into the top of the search results. So if you are in a niche outside of the make money niche then keyword research is very important so you can quickly rank at the top of the search engines (mainly Google) and start bringing in some good profits.
Google only wants to return relevant sites in its searches so you have to have a lot of specific content on your website that is relevant to the keywords you want to rank for so they will find that your site is one of the best options to show in the results. Like I said earlier you want to give away as much of the information as you need to in order to get the search engine rankings, but not enough to satisfy the reader to the point where they won’t click on your ads. That’s how you make money from your content!
When you write really long posts you can repeat your keywords numerous times throughout the post without having to actually stuff them in there. This will help a lot with increasing your search engine rankings for those keywords. This also helps to make sure you only keep a few hardcore readers all the way to the end where they actually find the good make money, online business secrets and all the impatient readers will give up early in the post and click one of your ads to get out of there. Which will make easy money for you!
So you now know that having tons of relevant content with a bunch of keywords sprinkled throughout each article is part of the equation for getting high rankings in Google, but that is not all you have to do. For some really small niches that might work but for the bigger ones like make money, online business or any other more competitive niches you need to do more.
One of the best ways to get to the top of Google is by getting lots of keyword rich inbound links to your website. The ultimate inbound links are those that are from quality, high ranking sites that are closely related to yours. When it comes to back links the more relevant, the better. When the link comes from an unrelated or low quality site then the link juice you get from it is not worth nearly as much.
For this particular site, I need lots of sites related to online business, make money online, home business, and work at home to link to me. I would want the anchor text to be either make money, online business or something very close.
Also when you have more than one site in the same or similar niches, you can help yourself out by giving your other sites some keyword rich text links. In fact, I am going to do that for another one of my online business websites right now because I want it to rank for the keyword phrase make money online.
Basically if I were to sum up this entire post into a few brief sentences I would tell you that it is not easy to make money online. And the thing about make money, online business pretty much comes down to getting to the first page of the Google search results so you can get targeted traffic. Then in order to actually make money from that traffic you want to be sure not to give them all the online business information they are looking for or they won’t click on your ads to make you easy money.
That’s it for this make money online business post.
If you made it this far then please come back again soon for more!
In my case, this blog was created for that very purpose. I love to make money and doing it from my online business makes it even more enjoyable for me.
But there’s no point in showing people how to go about achieving success, when they are too blind to see get the message when it’s staring right at them.

But if they don’t find it, they will probably click on an ad that promises to show them how to make money online and leave through that. And that, my friend, is how that website makes money! This is exactly the point I am trying to get you to understand. When thousands of people visit that site every month and even a small percentage of them click the ads, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that site owner is earning a nice income from their ads.
So what you want to do is get on the first page of Google results and get your share of those earnings!
The only way to do that is to show them that your site is a top authority on that keyword phrase. I encourage you to stay away from the make money online niche because it is way too competitive and almost impossible to break into the top of the search results. So if you are in a niche outside of the make money niche then keyword research is very important so you can quickly rank at the top of the search engines (mainly Google) and start bringing in some good profits.
Google only wants to return relevant sites in its searches so you have to have a lot of specific content on your website that is relevant to the keywords you want to rank for so they will find that your site is one of the best options to show in the results. Like I said earlier you want to give away as much of the information as you need to in order to get the search engine rankings, but not enough to satisfy the reader to the point where they won’t click on your ads. That’s how you make money from your content!
When you write really long posts you can repeat your keywords numerous times throughout the post without having to actually stuff them in there. This will help a lot with increasing your search engine rankings for those keywords. This also helps to make sure you only keep a few hardcore readers all the way to the end where they actually find the good make money, online business secrets and all the impatient readers will give up early in the post and click one of your ads to get out of there. Which will make easy money for you!
So you now know that having tons of relevant content with a bunch of keywords sprinkled throughout each article is part of the equation for getting high rankings in Google, but that is not all you have to do. For some really small niches that might work but for the bigger ones like make money, online business or any other more competitive niches you need to do more.
One of the best ways to get to the top of Google is by getting lots of keyword rich inbound links to your website. The ultimate inbound links are those that are from quality, high ranking sites that are closely related to yours. When it comes to back links the more relevant, the better. When the link comes from an unrelated or low quality site then the link juice you get from it is not worth nearly as much.
For this particular site, I need lots of sites related to online business, make money online, home business, and work at home to link to me. I would want the anchor text to be either make money, online business or something very close.
Also when you have more than one site in the same or similar niches, you can help yourself out by giving your other sites some keyword rich text links. In fact, I am going to do that for another one of my online business websites right now because I want it to rank for the keyword phrase make money online.
Basically if I were to sum up this entire post into a few brief sentences I would tell you that it is not easy to make money online. And the thing about make money, online business pretty much comes down to getting to the first page of the Google search results so you can get targeted traffic. Then in order to actually make money from that traffic you want to be sure not to give them all the online business information they are looking for or they won’t click on your ads to make you easy money.
That’s it for this make money online business post.
If you made it this far then please come back again soon for more!

Internet Marketing Trends in Advertising
I’ve always heard the phrase “jumping on the bandwagon” and sometimes wondered why they called it that. So, I decided to look it up and it seems that back in the 19th century, there were bandwagons that were used in the pre-circus parades. The members of the circus would ride on these colorful bandwagons and as they passed by, spectators would notice and join the procession. The circus promoters hoped that this would encourage the followers to actually become paying spectators of the circus itself. That is how the phrase jumping on the bandwagon got started.
What does this have to do with internet marketing trends in advertising? Pretty much everything! See, any time an internet marketer finds or creates a new form online advertising everybody and their dog jumps on the bandwagon and uses that method of advertising to promote their products or services. It doesn’t matter if the method has been tested and proven to work or not. As soon as one internet marketer sees another one using it, the bandwagon jumping begins because nobody wants to be left out of the “it crowd.”
So, what have been the top internet marketing trends for online advertising lately?
Probably the most widely used method of advertising is, and will probably be for a long time, Google Adwords. This is a relatively inexpensive and effective form of internet marketing that precisely targets the people who you want to reach. That is of course assuming that you set your Adwords campaign up properly. Many have gone broke because of poor keyword selection, poor choice of bid amounts and just plain awfully worded ads. Google Adwords is by no means a sure thing if you don’t know what to do with it.
Another form of marketing that created a huge buzz recently is Butterfly Marketing. This is basically just another form of viral marketing where a friend tells another friend and so on. It’s word of mouth with a few twists to it. Many Butterfly Marketing sites have shown incredible success, again if you set them up correctly.
Another marketing trend that has taken the internet marketing world by storm is Bum Marketing. This is basically the practice of writing articles after doing careful keyword research on the topic of your choice, and then submitting those articles to article directories. The key is to make sure you have a resource box that contains a way for people to get more information through your website. It’s actually very effective.
And let’s not forget about social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook, or social bookmarking sites like Digg and Technorati. These are all the craze right now. In fact, they are being used so much as an advertising method by internet marketers that it’s getting to the point where some of the sites quality has declined drastically. They can be a great marketing tool but they can also be ruined by marketers.
Of course aside from the “new wave” of marketing trends, there are still the tried and true methods like Search Engine Optimization (SEO), E-zine Ads and a few other things that have worked since I can remember. The thing about trends is that many of them are really just reworked ideas of old methods. The ones that aren’t, usually don’t last very long because when all is said and done, the most effective forms of marketing have probably already been invented.
So, if you’re looking for a tied and true advertising method in the internet marketing world, you may not have to look any farther than optimizing your website for the search engines and taking out a few good solo ads in the better E-zines. Of course writing and submitting an article every now and then can’t hurt.
Internet marketing trends come and go but the tested and proven advertising methods will never die!

If Content Is King, Demand Is Emperor!
If you have an online business or do anything dealing with internet marketing then you have heard the saying, “Content Is King.” Basically this means whoever produces the most content on a certain topic will make the most money online.
When you see all the people out there who are constantly writing content or finding places where they can get content written for them cheaply, you would tend to believe that this statement is definitely true. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not minimizing how important content is, but you know what? I am not stupid enough to believe that content is all that you need to make money online.
You see, while content may be leader of one kingdom, demand is the ruler of an entire empire. That’s why if content is king then demand is emperor! To make money online you need both of these monarchs.
There are economic laws of supply and demand, and as you can see demand is one half of the equation. If you’ve never taken a course in economics, then here’s brief little explanation to help you understand the concept…
Supply and demand is a really basic economic concept. But in order to really make it as easy as possible for you to understand, I’m going to give you an example of how powerful supply and demand really is. This will help you understand it much better than a long and boring explanation.
Let’s say John Smith has a widget, but he only has one widget. It turns out that this widget will earn anyone who owns it $100,000 per year. Everybody wants this widget. But there is only one. So John Smith decides to put it up for bidding at an auction. The bidding goes out of control. People are bidding this widget up to $500,000 because they realize that they can use this widget for many years, so paying $500,000 for it now will be more than worth it.
Suddenly, in the middle of the bidding war, Jim Jones comes out with an almost identical widget but has 1000 of them available. He sees the current bid for John’s is $500,000 so he decides to sell his widgets for $250,000 each. Well guess what? All of a sudden, John Smith’s widget isn’t as much in demand because there are 1000 other widgets that are just as good and for a lot cheaper.
So the demand for John Smith’s widget goes down. Now he has two choices… He can stick to his guns and try to still sell the widget for $500,000 by somehow convincing buyers that his is better, or he can lower his price and try to undercut the competition. But the problem is he knows that if he just uses his widget for a year he’ll make at least $100,000 so he can’t lower it too much or he won’t really be making any money and he could even end up losing money.
So now you see, if the supply is high and the demand is low, then you won’t be able to sell the item for as high a price as if the supply were low and the demand were high. However, even if the supply is high, if the demand is still high, you can still sell at a fairly high price. You may not be able to sell it at as high of a price if the supply is low, but still, demand is that powerful.
The point I am trying to make is this; if you put out tons of content to promote an item, but there is no demand for that item, or very little demand, you won’t be able to sell it for much and you probably won’t make very many sales to begin with. Therefore, you will not make money and your online business will fail.
Now you know that all the content in the world can’t overcome a low demand. This holds especially true if you wanted to sell your content. It doesn’t matter if you only wrote a few articles on a subject or many articles. If there is no demand for what you are selling, you’d be lucky to be able to give those articles away, let alone make money from them.
So when it comes to online business content may be king, but demand is the emperor!

What Is The "X" Factor In Business?
I’m willing to bet you have heard the phrase before. Something like, “You need to find the X factor that will take your business to the next level,” or maybe it was, “We have an X factor that makes our business opportunity better than any other of its kind,” or it could have been, “Such and such internet marketer has that X factor that makes him so successful.”
Whatever the exact phrase was isn’t really important. What I am trying to get at here is that we have all hear of this mysterious “X factor” that will take our businesses to the next level.
We hear so much about this X factor, but if you were to stop somebody on the street and ask them what the X factor is, they wouldn’t have a clue. They’d make something up or just stand there with an empty look on their face not knowing what to say.
Some people say that the X factor is what that person or business does best. But can’t that just be called a skill we all have? For example, if a company said that their X factor was that they wrote fantastic sales copy, we could say that isn’t something so unusual. Tons of people write spectacular sales copy. So, how is this an X factor? Isn’t that just somebody who writes excellent sales copy?
After racking my brain for hours to find an answer to this question, without reading a bunch of philosophy books to get interpretation of what the X factor is, I decided that ultimately the X factor is something that you really can’t pinpoint, yet you know it exists.
Let me give you a few examples of what I see as the X factor…
You walk into a room filled with gorgeous women. There isn’t an ugly one to be found. Each one could easily win a top beauty pageant. But there is one woman you see who has an aura surrounding her. You can’t quite describe it. You just feel it. She stands out, even if she is not the best looking of them all. It’s the way she carries herself. It’s the confidence she displays without coming off as arrogant. She doesn’t seem unapproachable like some of the others. There’s almost a down to earth quality about her. She has the X factor that separates her from the others.
Here’s another example, you walk into a room full of businessmen. All of them earn at least $1,000,000 per year. They’re all at the top of their profession. They all dress for success and all look the part, right from their hairstyle down to the shine on their shoes. And then into the room walks Donald Trump. All of a sudden, all these very successful men look quite small in comparison. They seem like a bunch of nobody’s. The presence of Mr. Trump is just something that nobody else has… The X factor!
To me, the above examples are what I call the “true” X factor. The reason it IS an X factor is because you really DON’T know what it is. That’s what truly separates the very exceptional people and opportunities in the world.
How does this apply to an internet marketing business? Lots of people are trying to find that elusive X factor to take their online business to the top, but never find it. What’s even worse is that they never will. It’s not something you can just find. It’s something that you know is there. You can feel it. When you hook up with a company or internet marketer that has that X factor you just know it. It’s a feeling that you can’t describe.
So the next time you sit down and try to figure out what your businesses X factor is, don’t beat your brains out looking for an answer. You will know when it comes to you!

Making Money Online Isn’t All That Difficult
Everyone in the world wants to make money. How else are you going to live? And the easier it is to get that money, the better!
I have been making money online for years. I’ve built home business websites that make me a lot of money each year, and I never have a problem building a large network marketing downline. Basically what I am trying to say is that my online home business is very profitable and I pretty much write my own checks.
However, I am not telling you this to boost my own ego. Exactly the opposite really. It wasn’t easy getting to where I am now, not even close, and I wouldn’t wish the path I had to take on my worst enemy. I want you to know that I endured years of failures, scams, schemes, and losses before I ever got to where I am now. But I made it. And you can too! That’s why you should listen to what I am about to tell you…
I started my online business years ago when there weren’t nearly as many money making systems and home business programs available. In fact, there were hardly any at that time. I hear people complaining all the time about how hard it is to make money online these days. But the reality is that this is the easiest time I have ever seen for people to start an online home business. Believe it or not, but you have it easy!
Quite honestly I get asked to review and promote numerous programs, websites, products, and services on a weekly basis. To date I would guess I have had at least 1000 legitimate requests from people to take a look at their businesses and thousands more from everybody and their dog.
So many things come across my desk each day that it is impossible for me to look at everything and those that I do check out rarely ever live up to my high standards. But every so often something does. Even when they do I still don’t have the time to recommend them. I only recommend a money making product or service if it is of the highest quality and there is nothing else like it on the internet.
One of the best programs I have ever seen for starting an online home business and making money online is the SFI (Strong Future International). Just looking at the name will tell you all you really need to know. This program is loaded with true, legitimate, and honest ways to make money online. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this program.
The SFI program does work and as soon as I looked at it I knew it was a diamond in the rough. I am not going to write another 15,000 words explaining to you how great the SFI program is or what is contained in it. I think the website tells you everything you need to know.
I will tell that what the author says is true and his program will work. If you follow it you will make money. There is no doubt about that!
Oh and just to ease your mind a little more, I will assure you that the creator of the SFI program, Gerry Carson, is one of the most honest, knowledgeable, sincere, and helpful internet marketers you will ever come across. I have worked with him on many projects over the years and all I can say is that he is amazing.
My highest recommendation goes to the SFI Program.
