"Old school" easy method for fast cash online!
hey guys!
If you're still struggling to make money online,
there are some definite "sure fire" methods that
you can use to get some income flowing fast...
One method that has *always* worked in the past,
and will *continue* to work in the future, is
simply setting up automated email messages in
an autoresponder (such as Aweber), and then
getting people subscribed to your list!
Get them to subscribe by setting up an enticing
FREE offer on a simple web page. Here is one of
the best converting "squeeze pages" of all time,
and look how amazingly simple it is!...
http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/
Can you put together a web page that simple,
with a powerful headline for your own free
offer (such as a special report, or software
download)?
...YES!
If you can't do it directly, simply have somebody
else do it for a small fee. You can hire web
designers on Odesk, or even on Fiverr.com, who
could set up a squeeze page like the one above
for under $50.
And then, you simply start promoting your page
using either free, or low budget, traffic methods.
For example, you could place banner ads for your
site on other peoples' blogs and websites for a
small agreed upon fee, and once you've built up
a list of 200-300 people that way, you could then
start doing FREE ad swaps with other list owners.
Here's a list of websites that accept banner ads,
though these only apply if your niche is "online
marketing" or similar:
http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/
...Usually, you can do some negotiating to get
some super bargains (it's just a matter of being
willing to hunt down the right deals!).
As far as having a banner ad made, you can find
people on fiverr.com to do them for just $5. :)
If you're on a tight budget, you could write
and submit articles to article directories,
participate in popular online forums with a
link to your website attached at the bottom
of each forum post (many forums allow this),
or submit short "tips" videos to a youtube
channel. You could also create a free blogger.com
blog, and start writing about your niche topic.
(After a while you'll begin getting free search
engine traffic this way.)
Now, as people land on your squeeze page and
join your email list, they should begin receiving
the automated messages that you set up. You could
start with even just a couple messages, such as a
welcome letter on day 1, followed by a paid
affiliate offer on day 2 or 3, followed by some
valuable content (like an article or download)
after that... Rinse and repeat, as you create
automated messages to go out week after week.
You don't ever want to send straight ads, as you
will burn out your list that way. Mix things up
and keep your subscribers happy by sending them
useful content, freebies, and special offers and
promos. (Treat them how you'd want to be treated
if you were your own subscriber!)
...Continue to add to your follow up series as
you find the time. Again, you don't have to have
a long series of messages written up front. You
can write them over time, adding each message
to your automated follow ups as things progress.
Now, what's really great about this method is
that it can easily be COMPLETELY automated once
you have your follow ups written. Going back to
the strategy of placing banner ads, for example,
once a banner ad that links to your squeeze page is
placed on a blog or website that's getting traffic,
it just "sits there" (online), sending you
autopilot traffic day after day!...
And if your squeeze page converts like it should,
that means fresh new leads receiving your follow
up emails day after day - all with ZERO effort on
your part once things are in place.
And fresh leads are the key to making unlimited
cash online! Your subscribers will AUTOMATICALLY
receive your paid offers (such as promos for
affiliate products), in which case you'll make
effortless cash when they take action on a given
offer.
This is truly a simple method that you can start
out small (in ANY niche!) with, and scale up until
you're making the kind of monthly income you desire!
I hope this simple, but powerful formula is a big
help to you!

His visitors created 15,000 web pages for him
THIS IS AN EMAIL I RECEIVED AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT HELP SOMEONE!
Here are the notes I took during the Question and Answer Session
with Elad Shippony - the guy who bought a home with his affiliate
earnings.
Remember Elad? He's the Israeli affiliate who lives in a home
paid for completely by his online earnings. He's been a full-time
affiliate for 9 years.
But first, a message from our trusted Sponsor...

______________________________
As I was saying...
I took notes during Elad's live Q&A Session.
He has absolutely astounding traffic stats - on a really good
day, nearly 200,000 visitors.
I'm a firm believer in the saying, "Success leaves clues," so I
watched the Q&A session a couple of times.
To save time for busy folk, here are my notes:
* Elad doesn't have any products of his own.
* He earns his living mainly from AdSense - says he's not very
good at earning affiliate commissions.
* He has 3 family members helping him, 1 full-time, 2 part-
time.
* On one site, his visitors have created a staggering 15,000
pages (that's NOT a typo) of articles and photos for him. These
pages attract most of the site's traffic.
* How does he encourage visitors to contribute all those web
pages? By running competitions and giving away prizes.
* REALLY IMPORTANT: If you want to encourage your visitors to
generate pages for you, you MUST choose a topic that your
visitors are ENTHUSIASTIC about. Think about that.
* He gets a lot of traffic from Google image searches. He
optimizes the photos to encourage this. Image file names match
web page names.
* His main traffic promoting focus now is using Pinterest.
* He has 3 main sites. The rest are "neglected children".
* He compares online business building to studying to get a
degree, except that at the end of three of four years you own
an online business instead of a degree.
* To make it easy to get his visitors to create those 15,000
pages of content for him, he uses Content 2.0. You can learn
more about Content 2.0 here http://www.AssociatePrograms.
During the live interview, Elad went into Google Analytics to a
page showing that more than 1,800 people were on his costumes
site right at that moment. His daily visitor number was MUCH
higher than that. He gets phenomenal daily traffic around
Halloween - just under 200,000 visitors.
Thanks very much for the tips, Elad.
Joanna and I have been discussing this: What would be a good
niche where people are enthusiastic and would create lots of
content for us? I've got think more about that.
You can see ideas and examples of what some affiliates are doing
with Content 2.0 on this page...
http://www.AssociatePrograms.
If you're skeptical about the tool Elad uses, consider those
15,000 pages and all that traffic... An hour or two spent
studying what Elad is doing would be a wise investment for any
affiliate, whatever your level.
I've added a recording of the Q&A Session at the bottom of the
article I wrote on Elad's success...

Easy FREE traffic method
Hey guys!!
Today I wanted to share a simple, viral
traffic technique that can send LOADS of
visitors to your website (or affiliate
offer) for FREE...
The method involves creating "memes",
which are typically nothing more than
attention grabbing pictures, with catchy
titles and captions. You've no doubt seen
them all over Facebook.
But perhaps you didn't realize their
traffic pulling POWER - or how SIMPLE
they are to make!
With the right picture, and right caption
(usually a *funny, entertaining* caption),
memes can quickly go viral as people click
the "Share" link that Facebook includes
under the meme (picture) that you post.
The simple key is creating a meme that
people WANT to share with others!
You can have your own meme posted on
your FB page and ready to bring you
viral traffic within MINUTES:
Step 1. Search Google for "free meme
generator" and you'll find plenty of
web based meme creators. Here's just
one of many choices:
http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/
Step 2. Create your meme!
Step 3. Post your meme to your Facebook
page with a link to your website above
the meme itself. You can also type in
the link to your website or affiliate
offer within the meme picture.
Sit back and watch as Facebook friends
share your meme on their pages, which
in turn leads to *other* Facebook users
sharing on their page... And so on!
Some memes will bomb, but no worries -
just keep testing until you hit on one
that goes viral and brings you a TON of
traffic!
One final HUGE tip is that you can Google
"popular memes" to see which are most likely
to go viral. You can then take queues from
those, and apply them to your own memes.
Good luck!!

1955 Vintage Ad
The ad copy reads:
This young man is 11 months old – and he isn’t our youngest customer by any means.For 7-Up is so pure, so wholesome, you can even give it to babies and feel good about it. Look at the back of a 7-Up bottle. Notice that all our ingredients are listed. (That isn’t required of soft drinks, you know – but we’re proud to do it and we think you’re pleased that we do.)By the way, Mom, when it comes to toddlers – if they like to be coaxed to drink their milk, try this: Add 7-Up to the milk in equal parts, pouring the 7-Up gently into the milk. It’s a wholesome combination – and it works! Make 7-Up your family drink. You like it . . . it likes you!
While there’s a similar ad floating around the Internet that’s most definitely a fake, I believe this one is legit. (I found a copy in the Duke University online archive, among other places.)
I’d like to say a lot has changed since this ad came out, but I’m sure I’m not alone in occasionally spotting a toddler with a plastic soda bottle at his or her mouth. At least soda companies are no longer pitching their drinks to parents as wholesome baby fare. That’s progress, I guess.
It's
1955 at the Seven-up headquarters someone in the advertisement department came
up with this brilliant idea. Captioning the beauty of a baby drinking 7up using
the slogan; “7up is so great, even babies like it!” They felt since it was so
good that mothers would give 7up to their kids instead of formula. After much
research they say the 11 month old child isn’t even their youngest customer of
7up!
This
ad promotes and list all the ingredients are pure and wholesome for children.
Now, on the other hand is it good for babies? Some parents would like to thinks
so. Researcher came across one parent who felt the need to suggest if a child
doesn’t drink milk try mixing the 7up and milk together and this would be
healthy for the child. Some parents strongly disagree with this suggestion!
In addition, 7up doesn’t speak about the overall advantages and disadvantages of drinking 7up. Think a about it! While the 11 month old child in this vintage ad is enjoying the beverage; a couple of months later the child will have and is starting a history of dental problems. This is the start to early addictions in children; as well as the sugar rush and cavities this is the beginning of a disaster.

This is the start to early addictions in children; as well as the sugar rush and cavities this is the beginning of a disaster.
This sugary soft
drink is even great for adults, but sodas advertisements from 1955 would have you
to believe that this drink would help your child grow up big and strong! Nowadays,
America is big on childhood obesity: which I believe is linked hand and hand
with soda intake. Drinking all of this sugar is shortening the lifespans of our
young boys and girls. Giving our
children sugar diabetes at a young age!
As we fast forward to the future 2012 and using this kind of
advertisement. We as America would be pushing ourselves under a bus because we
all are obese in some shape or form. As we too drink a lot of these sugary soft
drinks! America First Lady Michelle Obama, stresses the point that we as
Americans need to get our act together and gain control of our children on the
road to obesity.
However,
I think this was a great ad to publish by showing that 7up is so great
that even babies can drink it. Using the slogan "nothing does it like
sever-up", also promotes the enjoyment of this produce. This beautiful
baby reaching out for the product make you want to spend your money and try the
product. Also, a great way they advertised this product was to
encourage the customers to look on the back of the label and seeing for
themselves how great this product is. After it’s all said and done, looking at
the benefits of drinking this sugary soft drink is this really a great produce
for our children to enjoy?
Spirit Airlines Ripoff
Spirit
Airlines empowers customers to save money on air travel by offering ultra low
base fares with a range of optional services for a fee, allowing customers the
freedom to choose only the extras they value. This innovative approach grows
the traveling market and stimulates new economic activity while creating new
jobs. Spirit's modern fleet, configuration and other innovations enable Spirit
to burn less fuel per seat than competitors, making Spirit the most
environmentally-friendly U.S. carrier. Spirit’s all-Airbus fleet currently
operates flights throughout the U.S., Latin America and Caribbean.
Obviously
they are proud to have broken the rules and created arguably the best airline
in the Americas (so they claim). I have purchased tickets from this company
before. I have enjoyed their products, features and service. Nevertheless, I
even signed up with their yearly membership. Within this membership called the $9 Fare Club
offering all of their members exclusive travel deals, not only in the US but
all over the Americas.
Which includes exclusive access to Member only Low Fares, and savings of up to
$120 per customer in bag fees (One customer roundtrip with a carry-on
bag and 5 checked bags). Now this is an annual membership to the $9 Fare
Club is only $59.95!!!!! Now, while all of that would be fine and great!
However, someone, somewhere forgot to mention the additional fee associated
with Spirit airfare. Let me continue with their misleading ventures. I tried to
purchase an airline ticket last night from Chicago IL to Phoenix AZ my ticket
was $68 round trip for 1 person. However, I’m traveling with an additional 3
people so my total (so I thought) was $272 and from their words “Fares listed
are per person, are non-refundable and include all taxes and fees.”. I thought taxes were including (so I thought).
When
I continued with my purchase, I almost fainted when I saw the actual fees
themselves. Spirit airlines charges $25 for a carry on bag, $20 for a checked
bag, $50 for 2 checked bag, $125 for 3, $200 for 4, and $200 for 5 checked bag.
Oh and did I mention these fees are for departure and arrivals, so your times
every times the amount of people going. Example 4 bag leaving (departure) is $80
and returning (arrival) is $80 which is a grand total of $160 in addition to
the airfare.
Now
not only are they charging me for how many bags I check, I’m also getting
charged for the seat that I sit in which is $25 near the caption, $18, $14, and
$10 for the seats in the rear! Even using the cheapest seat available it’s
still $10 per person going (departure $40) and returning (arrival $40)! Not to
forget I also have to pay for the membership ($59 per year) and in this case it
provides me with nothing! By the time I finished with my reservation my tickets
were $738.27 including this new government tax “cut” that was $101.48. Plus it’s
$56 for travel insurance, bringing my new total to $794.27.
I
feel this is unfair, unacceptable, and without the insurance Spirit will not return
your money and they will try and keep all monies. Also I couldn’t even use
their own voucher and credits; nor could I use their own promotional codes
feature that was given on their website. The website doesn’t work for the so
called $9 members. I mean this is truly ridiculous!
Their
advertisement is and has been misleading to consumers everywhere and you can

DISTURBING NEWS
Dear Reader,
In the next 12 months, an economic "Pearl Harbor" will hit America. I won't mince words—it's called hyperinflation, and signs of it are everywhere!
I DON'T WANT TO ALARM YOU, BUT THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR AMERICA'S ECONOMIC WINTER IS NOW!
That's why I just put the finishing touches on an urgent video presentation that will tell you...
These are transformational times we live in... you can feel it!
You know prices are rising rapidly today. But they will explode when hyperinflation hits. Prices could increase 1,000 percent or more within days. And your purchasing power will crater.
I know it sounds insane... hard to believe... or downright "unthinkable." After all, this is America, and nothing like this could ever happen to the dollar.
But it's complete BALONEY! The truth is the dollar has a date with DOOM.
Yet the U.S. Government continues to lie to you about inflation. In fact, starting in 1980, they deliberately changed the formula used to calculate the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in an effort to undermine those pesky cost-of-living-increases for Social Security checks.
It's no wonder Seniors can no longer afford to make ends meet on Social Security... the government artificially lowered the CPI!
Today the "official" CPI is about 3 percent. But if you use the "old" 1980 formula, the real CPI is closer to 12 percent. Now that explains your grocery and gas bills.
And they're lying about the deficit, too! Last year, the "official" deficit was reported to be a mere $1.3 trillion. Pure Fantasy!
According to shadowstats.com—one of the most reliable monitors of government spending—the true debt is estimated to be in excess of $80 trillion once all government obligations are factored in.
So what will Washington do to get out of the crisis? They'll buy their way out by printing even MORE MONEY, all the while devaluing every dollar you own and triggering a hyperinflation crisis.
And when that happens, all bets are off...
Your CDs will be worthless.
The cash in your wallet... might as well use it for toilet paper.
Your retirement plan... better hope for a job at Walmart!
So please, set aside the time right now to watch my urgent hyperinflation presentation. In my 43 years of publishing The Bob Livingston Letter™, I've never been more afraid for the future of America than I am right now.
Ignore this warning and you may as well take your savings, retirement and financial security and kiss them goodbye.
On the other hand if you heed this warning and act on my advice you will have plenty of time to insulate your family's wealth and well-being before it's too late.

- How to recognize the earliest warning signs of a hyperinflationdisaster.
- How you can transform your finances from a house of cards into a financial fortress made of stone.
- How to survive the sudden, catastrophic collapse of the dollar.
- And how to guarantee you have unlimited access to the food, medicines and supplies you need to live comfortably no matter what happens.
These are transformational times we live in... you can feel it!
You know prices are rising rapidly today. But they will explode when hyperinflation hits. Prices could increase 1,000 percent or more within days. And your purchasing power will crater.

| Hamburger will cost $60 a pound. | |

So i got this email and I thought I should pass it along!!
The ability to check in on a baby is something that every parent needs. The peace of mind that comes from knowing if your baby is sleeping or happily playing in their crib is priceless. But what about when you need to go out of range of the baby monitor? How can you still achieve the same peace of mind that you can get when you’re at home? Our client believes that they have found the answer.
If you are the parent of a child less than one-year-old and you own an Apple iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, we want you to help us test a revolutionary baby monitor. However, you must be running iOS 5.x on your device and you also need to have a wireless network set up in your home. We are also only seeking testers who currently live in the United States.
We need those who are eager to explore this new device and who can commit the time and effort to truly measure how its performance improves their peace of mind when it comes to their children. If you have a willingness to test over the next few weeks and feel that you qualify for this opportunity, please feel free to apply so that you can be considered for this unique beta test.

Different Nursing School in Illinois 'BE WARE"
I've been doing a lot of research the past couple of months. I have been interested in nursing school in IL. Now, the are a lot of different school that want a lot. Speaking in terms of pre-reqs, coming across PCCTI in oakbrook IL.
This 12 fast track program would be ideal to most people! Now, not thinking I signed up with a $500 deposit to take an anatomy and physiology class that started in Aug 2012 and is includes all of your books. For the LPN it was the same thing a $500 deposit which include book, uniform and stethoscope. Classes starting in Oct 2012.
However, the second week we had a quiz and the third week we had a test. Every week after was another test, see where I'm going with this. Going back I am in the third week and I receive a letter that all classes have been canceled due to a move. Which concerns me, I'm thinking that this school is either losing their accreditation or got put out of their current office. .
This letter tells us that we will not have any classes for 2 weeks and for those 2 weeks that they have to move. Us as the students have to suffer because they will be added those 2 weeks to the end of our course. So, instead of starting my LPN on Oct 22, 20012 it wouldn't be until the middle of November (as one of the staff explained to me).
In addition, the anatomy class is $1300 and the LPN program is $15000 which both wold be coming out of my pocket because they DON'T have financial aid. I called to discuss my concerns to the staff and was told that I could withdrawal from the class but in other to do so "she needs something in writing" and in other to receive a refund it would take 30 day. Which kinda pissed me off because I didn't take 30 days to pay them $1000!!!
So now I wanted to know who else this has happened to and I come across this nursing website. People are saying do not go to the school it is a waste of time and money. This school will fail you to make more money. To make matters worse the "credits are NOT transferable!!!" So, I believe every word!!!
So it wasn't worth me losing my $1000 of even a portion of that!
Now on the other hand, there are LPN programs out there and I have seen almost all of them in IL. The only down side to these school are they don't have financial aid and this WIA program (last time I checked) was hard to get.
Here my list of school I leave it up to you to decide for yourself.
Good luck and if you have any questions post a comment and I'll be more that happy to answer for you.
