			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Making money on the internet isn’t easy but it’s almost impossible if you don’t know what you are doing.</p>
<p>How do you dodge the pyramid scheme scams, the ponzi scams, and the plethora or marketing “gurus” who will take your money and then just run or want more and more money in order for their latest system to work?</p>
<p>You can’t beat some good research.  Start small and work up. Follow what others do, its all about research and instinct. That is how I started and as a result quickly started to learn what I should and shouldn’t be doing.</p>
<p>If you are new to internet marketing and looking for ways to make a residual income here are some tips.</p>
<ol>
<li>Research the site, Google the name, see what you can find out, ask questions on forums etc, see what people are saying.</li>
<li>Make sure you understand how the site works, and what your required to do to make it work, make sure you read the terms and conditions.</li>
<li>Limit your risk, <a title="Just 2 Bucks A Month" href="http://www.just2bucksamonth.co.uk/2B030121s.html" target="_blank">Just 2 Bucks A Month</a> is perfect for newbies and for experienced multi-level marketers and internet marketers alike. Just 2 Bucks A Month is affordable and easy to get people to join.</li>
<li>The team that you join is the single most important decision. Will they help get you referrals and actually give you referrals? Do they have a good forum for discussion? Are the up-line members helpful and willing to advise and share valuable information?</li>
</ol>
<p>I can assure you that the if you join this Just 2 Bucks A Month team that the answer to all the above is yes? In fact the Just 2 Bucks A Month link throughout this post is for Tom, who is one of the members of our team</p>
<p><a title="Just 2 Bucks A Month" href="http://www.just2bucksamonth.co.uk/2B030121s.html" target="_blank">Just 2 bucks</a> is great to get started with because it is still new, with about 500 or so members as i write and growing at a steady pace.  But why do i recommend it? Well its 2 great sites in 1. It’s a residual income builder, for every refferal you can get you get a residual payment of 10 cents every month for 6 months so get 10 refs you get $1.00 residual per month. Now you are thinking a whole $ a month, but the point of this site is that it’s affordable for anyone and you teach the people to do what you do and  you are building a team.  The way to build a team is is to get 2 people in your team directly then teach and promote the 2 members so that they each get 2 and so very quickly your 10 can turn into 100 referrals in your down-line.  So let’s say you got 10 and you have given them to others in the down-line to help get them started and so the process continues</p>
<p><a title="Just 2 Bucks A Month" href="http://www.just2bucksamonth.co.uk/2B030121s.html" target="_blank">Just 2 bucks</a> is also and amazing list building site. Ask any internet marketer about the importance of the list and they will all tell you it’s the single most important element required in order to be successful. So what is the list? The list is all your referrals contact details. You need to build a list and that what you can do on Just 2 Bucks A month. Everytime you get a referral you get emailed the contact details of that member and whats great is <a title="Just 2 Bucks A Month" href="http://www.just2bucksamonth.co.uk/2B030121s.html" target="_blank">Just 2 Bucks</a> is 15 referral levels deep and you get all those contact details, you are literally building a list and whats great is that you get a free email transponder to manage all the contacts.</p>
<ul>
<li>So lets put this in context for you lets say you have 1000 referralss in 15 levels, now thats very very achievable because you have taught your team well not only are you making $100 a month residual but you also have 1000 members in your list, you find another great site you go to your emailer you contact everyone in your list. Now these guys all make money with you and more importantly trust you. Do you think they will join your next project? Well you can be certain that some will because you have helped them achieve their success to date.</li>
</ul>
<p>I also like to think of <a title="Just 2 Bucks A Month" href="http://www.just2bucksamonth.co.uk/2B030121s.html" target="_blank">Just 2 Bucks</a> as a membership site because you are buying a 6 month membership to a Residual Income, List Building club and your very own club leader. I see it as a very profitable learning site. Where else can you learn to make money for just 2 bucks a month, you just can’t and if at the end of the day it just doesn&#8217;t work for you then you haven&#8217;t broken the bank. But i just know it will work if you follow what i’m saying here, and that leads me onto my final point on how to get started making money on the internet.</p>
<p>Choose your sponsor and your team carefully. They want you to join but what will they do for you? Will they help you and promote you? Will they teach you and get you referrals to get you started?  Or will they just get you to join and leave you to fail on your own?</p>
<p>So choose carefully. Will your sponsor help you? Will they share with you like we and encourage you in the same way as our team? Click on the link underneath this video to find out more. You have nothing to lose and hopefully a lot to gain</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>28 April 2011</p>
<p>Why do 99% of people fail to make any money online? I have looked at many different ways to make money and have invested in a number of courses and products?  I have to say that John Thornhill&#8217;s Masterclass program is extremely good but I found creating my own e-books and products to be pretty tough going. I am still plodding along and hoping to make another income stream from that in the near future.<br />
There is however another way to make money online. Have you considered the power of Network Marketing?  Donald Trump was recently asked what he would do if he lost everything. His answer was to go into Network Marketing. The power of Network Marketing is immense.  It is all about helping each other to succeed, because if you are successful, your sponsors, and their sponsors ultimately benefit. This is what I love most about network marketing, I always think of it as the friends business, the you scratch my back I will scratch yours business.<br />
Unlike many other Networking Systems this does NOT involve convincing your family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and other acquaintances to invest in any expensive products or to attend over-hyped sales presentations.  This is a brand new way to actively make money on-line by helping others through a variety of social networking sites and blogs.<br />
Check out the link <a href="http://www.just2bucksamonth.co.uk/2B022710s.html" target="_blank">Just2BucksaMonth</a> and find out if you would like to be part of our team. This is a genuine business opportunity and requires minimal investment.  Look at the name of the link. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you.</p>
<p>Alternatively you are welcome to visit our <a href="http://ptcworld.ning.com/group/just2bucksamonth?xg_source=activity" target="_blank">group</a>:<br />
There is a live chat there so we can discuss what you need and how we can help each other.<br />
PTC Admin or Hazel are there most of the time and available to answer any questions. Just tell them Chris sent you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can’t really believe it almost 2011. Where have the last 12 months gone?  </p>
<p>I have to say that 2010 wasn’t a bad year overall but did I achieve everything I wanted to especially in the area of Internet Marketing ?  The answer to that question is most certainly no so what went wrong.  </p>
<p>The best decision I made was to sign up for <a href="http://www.johnthornhillmasterclass.com/trial/">John Thornhill’s  Masterclass</a>.  This is undoubtedly one of the best courses on the market for anyone who is serious about making an income online.  Unfortunately I did not keep focused on the course and flirted with too many other ideas which appeared in my inbox on a daily basis.  Even though I knew the Masterclass course would provide all the tuition and tools needed I spent too long looking at other glossy sales pages rather than keeping moving forward with the course.  As a result I got further and further behind and never actually produced my product.  I then decided to open a new Gmail account for all my internet marketing information except for John  Thornhill and Daniel Sumner.  This has reduced the distraction levels and I can browse that account at my leisure. I also am in less danger of missing any important emails.</p>
<p>So what are my online business New Year’s resolutions?</p>
<p>1 	Well firstly I am going back to week 4 or 5 of the Masterclass course to start some revision.<br />
2	I am going to plan time each week to make sure I get through the course<br />
3	Take time each day to read the forum<br />
4	Update my blog at least once a week<br />
5	Read other peoples blogs and make positive comments on them<br />
6	Build a list of subscribers<br />
7	Produce a product that people will get value from and provide substantial added value</p>
<p>Well I have set out my plans.</p>
<p>Happy New Year to all my fellow students and anyone else who cares to read this.  Let’s hope that 2011 is a very productive and successful year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a stay at home mum or maybe recently been made redundant or just looking to make a bit of extra income?<br />
A home based eBay business could be just what you are looking for. An eBay business can help relieve the stress of balancing time between family and work. It is quite possible for anyone to make a reasonable second income from eBay or even a healthy income, while giving you the freedom to raise your kids and not miss those so important and never to be repeated moments that happen at every stage of your child’s development.<br />
It is easy to get started, and managing your time is not a problem, if you know how to do it properly.<br />
What happens in your typical day? When do the kids go down for a nap every day? Are they in school? When is their “alone” time where they occupy themselves with their toys, giving you some time to yourself?  It doesn’t take loads of time to start an eBay business. Just utilise your spare time on your eBay and you will be surprised how much enjoyment you can get from it. I think you will find that eBay can also be very therapeutic and exciting.<br />
The first step is to plan your day to make time for your eBay business. When you put the kids down for a nap or have dropped them off at school in the morning, schedule an hour or so for listing your new items on eBay. When lunch time rolls around, set the kids up at the kitchen table to eat, and use this time to pack up the items you’ve sold to prepare them for delivery. After your bedtime routine, set aside an hour or two to round up your new items that need to be photographed, take the pictures, and upload them to your computer so that they’re ready to be listed the next morning.<br />
Set aside some time in the morning and in the afternoon for checking your e-mail, so that you can check and respond to buyer questions. This should only take a few minutes, and can be squeezed in anytime you have a couple of minutes to spare. Utilise the internet for new item ideas for selling, to type up some quick descriptions for later, or to find new auction templates and graphics for use in your listings.<br />
You may find that it’s actually harder to stay away from your work then it is to find time for it, as well. Set firm rules with yourself that at a certain time of day, your work is done, and walk away. For instance, after dinner, make a deal with yourself that after checking your items for bids for the night, you won’t do anymore eBay-related business until the next scheduled work time you have the next day.<br />
By far the best way to manage your time for your eBay home business is to set a schedule and stick to it. You will find that with eBay, you don’t need to do much work, and it can be fit in anywhere you have a few minutes to spare. Once you get into a routine you can start enjoying your time with your family, while your business does all the work for you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>01 April 2010<br />
12:05</p>
<p>With about 3 hours to spare I decided to sign up for John Thornhill&#8217;s 72 Hours of Madness.  Having ummed and arrd for at least 48 hours I looked again at what John was really offering and thought I would be mad to let the opportunity pass me by. </p>
<p>My concern was about  going into information overload, but then I had the &#8220;Lightbulb Moment&#8221;. This wasn&#8217;t about all the great products John was offering in the package.  This is about working more closely  with John as an add on to the Masterclass Course.  The course is superb and the support from Paula Brett is fabulous as well.  </p>
<p>The 72 Hours of Madness offer included a live consultation with John plus 8 weeks of support directly with my mentor, and hopefully at the end of it a product ready to take to market and invaluable assistance in launching that product.</p>
<p>I just need a few more hours each day but never mind. If it takes a bit longer so be it.  Another few weeks is nothing in the grand scheme of things.</p>
<p>Sorry to anyone reading this who didn&#8217;t  know about John Thornhill&#8217;s latest offering or decided not to go for it, but for those who have  grasped it with both hands I believe have made a very wise decision.</p>
<p>Happy times ahead.</p>
<p>Cheers, Chris</p>

<p>I was thinking about blogging again whilst driving the bus today.  In fact I seem to spend a lot of time thinking about the Masterclass course and where it might eventually lead me.</p>
<p>One of the main influences on my life since starting the course is reading &#8220;The Go Giver&#8221;  I am currently reading the sequel &#8220;Go Givers Sell More&#8221;; another fantastic read for anyone who hasn&#8217;t read it.  I say a sequel but in fact instead of being a follow on story it is more about how to put the 5 principles into practice.  I will endeavour to do a more detailed review in a subsequent blog.</p>
<p>Back to my day driving and I started thing about how much technology has moved on as I mentioned in my &#8220;Thoughts for Today&#8221; blog.  So much so that apart from my wonderful family who obviously are the most important people in my life, the one gadget that I need most is my mobile phone.</p>
<p>I still call it my phone but it is so much more. My Samsung Jet touch screen phone wakes me up in the morning. Whilst having a cup of tea and breakfast (if I have time before work), I use my phone to see what my friends on Facebook have been up to, before checking my Gmail account and catching up on the latest news and sport on the BBC website. If I have any important calls to make or things to do the calendar will remind me. I have loads of photos of my 3 year old son Finlay and impromptu videos recording him growing up. I can listen to my favourite radio shows; especially Chris Evans and Steve Wright on Radio 2 or listen to my favourite tracks on the music player.</p>
<p>So apart from all of the above and the calculator, currency and measurement converter, notepad and voice recorder I can still make phone calls and send text messages.</p>
<p>That reminds me. I must back all that data up onto my PC and then to my external drive.</p>
<p>Keep on blogging!</p>

<p>A bit of a frustrating day with the Masterclass course today.  As I said in my last blog I eventually got accepted for Google Adsense.  Great I thought; today I will go back a few weeks and sort out the Adsense Code and see how the blog looks. As per usual all of John Thornhill&#8217;s  videos were easy to follow and explained each step of the process and everything seemed to be hunky dory.  I was delighted to open my blog and see that there were already several Google Ads appearing on the blog .  It was then that I realised that something was not quite right.</p>
<p>I still am not sure exactly what happened but somehow I managed to lose all my blog graphics.  So there I  was back to week 4 and reinstalling all the graphics again.  Looking on the positive side it was some very good revision.  The other thing it made me realise was just how much ground we have already covered on the course.  </p>
<p> I have started reading some of the other blogs and am very inspired by what I have seen. I will be posting comments very soon. It&#8217;s great to be getting comments  from  fellow students too</p>
<p>Enjoy the rest of the weekend.</p>
<p>Chris</p>
