GET MAD!

I mean it… Get *REALLY* mad!

Get MAD anytime you have to do something that you
don’t really want to do (like going to work FOR
SOMEBODY ELSE early in the morning)…

Get MAD for all the times you’ve wanted to buy
something nice for yourself, go on a vacation, take the
day off, or (insert your desires here) but couldn’t
afford it…

Get MAD if you’ve ever worried when the stock market
goes down…

Get MAD if there has ever been an opportunity to
improve your life or the life of people you love, but
you couldn’t take advantage of it because of time or
financial limitations…

Get MAD if what you *REALLY* wish you could do in this
life isn’t happening YET…

Why I’m a telling you to get mad? Don’t all the
self-help materials tell you to keep a positive
attitude… things will “work out”???

Guess what… THEY’RE WRONG!

*Before* you jump in and ride positive attitude parade,
you need to get red-hot, ***boiling*** MAD about the
way things are RIGHT NOW… It’s only when you GET
MAD, get fed up and get really pissed off with the way
things have been or the way things are now that you
will take the ACTION necessary to change your current
situation and make it into something better.

We are creatures driven by two desires only:

1) The desire to gain pleasure.

2) The desire to avoid pain.

And the latter is stronger than the former. We are much
more motivated to *avoid pain* than to gain pleasure.
Yes, we are all driven by the carrot and the stick, but
fear of the stick will get the average person moving a
lot faster than a salad at the end of a hard days
work…

Why do you *really* go to work every day? Is it because
your pursuing your passion and some grandiose goals? I
truly hope so! But most people get up and go to work
because they FEAR losing their job and ending up
homeless on the side of the streets begging for KFC
leftovers to get them through the night… The desire
to avoid this horrific pain is EXTREMELY motivational,
isn’t it?! USE IT!!!

Don’t fight against the forces that govern your very
existence… pleasure and pain. Use them wisely to your
benefit. If you know that pain motivates you, MAKE
YOURSELF FEEL PAIN so that you will TAKE ACTION and
change your current circumstances. It’s OK to use your
imagination here.

Think about what would happen if you got fired and
couldn’t find another job for the next 6 months… How
freaked out would you get then? Feel that.

Think about what would happen if you simply did nothing
different for the rest of your life and continued to
live the “status quo”, do-what’s-expected-of-you
lifestyle that’s got you this far, and left many of
your most sacred dreams and ambitions on the table. How
painful will it be to be on your deathbed knowing that
you never even tried to do what your heart was telling
you that you *really* wanted to do in this life? Feel
that.

Think about what not having enough time or money is NOT
ALLOWING you to do that you really, really, really,
really wish you could do (insert all the things that
are important to you but seem out of reach right now
here)… Feel that.

THEN GET MAD!

GET ANGRY!

GET FRICKIN’ PISSED OFF!

….. and then RIGHT NOW, before the feeling fades away
or is numbed out of existence by your favorite
television show or alcoholic beverage, MAKE A DECISION
to change. That’s all it takes. As soon as you decide
that you’ve HAD ENOUGH with the mediocrity you’ve
accepted up to this point, the world shifts on it’s
axis and will present you with new ways to think, new
ways to act, new ways to LIVE.

Big doors swing on small hinges and the hinges that
open the doors of opportunity are always the DECISIONS
we make about what we will and what we won’t settle
for in our life. If you allow yourself to get MAD
ENOUGH, the “settling point” for what you can and
will receive in your life will be raised and you will
experience a better future… a future more closely
aligned with WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO here on Earth.

So GET MAD, TAKE ACTION, and GET PREPARED to *be happy*
as you start creating your life on your terms the way
you always hoped it would be… and it can my friend -
it really, truly can!

When I *GOT MAD*, I decided to find better way to make
my living contrary to what my parents and society at
large told me was possible… I’m so glad I did
because now I’m living my dream life and helping
others live theirs. Read my story at:

Most everyone who is promoting a home based business is using article marketing as a major source of promotion. Writing articles can bring very targeted traffic to your website if done correctly. Unfortunately not everyone knows how to write articles the correct way.

The number one aspect to consider when writing your article is to get it placed high in the search engines by using proper keywords. Selecting the right keywords will take some time to research but will be well worth the effort. You’ll want to find some keywords that will land you traffic but will not be too hard to compete against. There are plenty of free tools online to help you choose your keywords.

Once you have selected your keywords you will want to write your article incorporating the keywords throughout the article. The key here is to place your keywords strategically so your article will not appear spammed with the keywords and still make sense to the reader. The quality and readability of the article is much more important than just throwing your keywords all over it.

Many internet marketers make the mistake of writing articles hastily and without rereading what they just wrote. Be sure your artcle is well written, easy to read and comprehend, and is informative as well. If your article is not readable, your readers will never get to the end of the article to find your resource box and visit your website.

There are two steps taken by your potential customers that anyone writing an article must be aware of. First the potential customer has to find the article. Second, the person has to read through it and find enough value in it to want to learn more and click on your link.

Here are a few tips on writing articles to get potential customers to follow this two step process.

Come up with a catchy title. A good title may be the make or break whether or not someone reads your article or not. Take your time here. Good titles have to grab someones attention by making a bold statement, asking an important question, answering a problem, or so off the wall that they just have to read it.

Next, your introduction should grab the readers attention and make them want to read more.

The body of the article should contain three of four main points and should answer what you promised in the introduction. Each main point should consist of about three of four sentences.

Finally, the conclusion should wrap up all of what the article was about. A well written conclusion should leave the reader wanting more as well. You want them to follow up by clicking your resource box to see what else you have to offer.

Keep to these main points when writing articles for your home based business and you will do just fine. The more you write the better you will get so practice, practice, practice. You will also want to submit your articles to the best article directories as well. A good distribution service will really help ease the burden of having to submit your articles all over the internet.

Many people make the mistake of purchasing guaranteed visitors to their website. It’s not that the traffic does not get delivered because it usually does. The problem is that these visitors are not targeted visitors seeking the information that you have. Most, if not all the visitors were manipulated into visiting by pop ups or pop unders.

The chances of you getting any sign ups or sales are very slim with any guaranteed visitors programs. There are some ways however that you can get FREE targeted traffic to your website. Here’s a few tips to do just that.

The best way to get free traffic is through the search engines. This is the best type of targeted traffic you can get to your home based business.

Until the advent of the internet, starting your own business meant building capital, taking out large loans, and spending most of your time away from home. Borrowing and spending big money meant you were taking big risks. Today you can start your own home based business for practically nothing at all. Here are a few home based business ideas to get you started.

Home Based Business Idea #1:

Sign up for and promote affiliate programs. These affiliate programs give you all the training and tools you need to succeed and many are free to join. Having your own website helps the conversion rate of your traffic but is not required. Many people just sign up for a free blog and promote the programs right from there.

Affiliate programs are programs where the companies pay out commissions for sales and referrals you bring them. It is difficult to make money from these programs right away but after a couple of months of building traffic it will really start to pick up.

Home Based Business Idea #2:

Sign up to take surveys, read emails, play games, and complete offers. There are some online companies that will pay you to do all of the following. It will be hard to earn a living from the pay you get from these companies but it can definitely help with some of your monthly bills.

It would be best to sign up for two or more of these companies. Most will pay about one dollar per survey and pennies for answering emails. All of this easy work ads up though and can be good for $30 - $100 a month if you do something every day.

Home Based Business Idea #3:

Find a niche that has a good amount of aggressive customers and low competition. By defining yourself and your website as an authority in a specific niche, you can really make a comfortable living with internet marketing.

There are untapped niches that people are just starving for information from the internet. Once you do the research to find these niches, it will be easy for you to provide the information these people are looking for and charge for the information requested.

There are plenty of other home based business ideas that I did not touch on. The best way to really make money online is to combine several different methods. Limiting yourself to just one or two would not tap the full potential of what the internet has to offer.

Find out exactly what you need to do, set goals, and make an effort to push towards those goals every day of your life. Just think how good it will feel to be able to walk away from you boss at your day job knowing you wont ever have to work for anyone ever again. It is possible, you just have to make it happen.

Blogging is a growing trend among worldwide internet users. Blogs are a great way to attract attention to whatever you are promoting. Whether you are just blogging about your daily activities, providing information to a certain niche, or promoting a business or product, you can use a blog to make money. Blogging for money is simple, here’s a few steps to get you started.

Blogging for money step 1: Start your own blog. There are many services you can use to start your own blog. The two I recommend are Wordpress and Blogger. Both are free services and the best way to utilize them is to host the blogs directly from your own website.

Blogging for money step 2: Once you have your blog setup you need to work on getting traffic to it. This step should be thought of as the post and ping process. You should post to your blog several times a week and then use a pinging service to ping each individual post. (Wordpress pings automatically every post.)

By posting and pinging on a regular basis, you will really begin to see traffic pick up. Another way to get traffic to your blog is to use social bookmarking. There are hundreds of different bookmark sites you can join and post your blog and get tons of free traffic.

Blogging for money step 3: Once you are getting good traffic to your blog, there are several ways to make money. First, if you haven’t already, you should sign up for a Google Adsense account. These are ads you can place directly on your blog and get paid for everytime someone clicks on their ads.

Another way to make money from your blog is to sign up with affiliate programs and promote their banners on your blog. When people sign up for their programs from your blog, you will get paid a commission.

There are also different companies that will pay you for leads that you provide them. This can be a very good form of income because your blog visitors don’t have to pay for anything. A lead is simply a name and address and these companies will pay anywhere from $1 to $30 for leads you bring them.

As you can see, blogging for money is quite easy. Getting the blog setup is the most difficult part. Once you are over that step, making money is as simple as posting to your blog. The more you post, the more traffic you will get. The more traffic you get to your blog, the more money you will make. Get started today!
