There are many ways to talk about independence. Do you want to be financially independent? Or at least own your own business?

Here’s something to ponder… Depending on how you set up your business, you may not be all that independent. Give it some real thought.

You may be trading in one employer for many different employers, all of whom want their stuff yesterday. Talk about stress.

I’m often thinking back nostalgically to my last position, which at the time I thought of as overwhelming, and now, in comparison, I appreciate the independence I had compared with some aspects of my business now.

So if you have a job and are getting paid well, and if you like your work, don’t jump ship too quickly.

There are ways to start buidling your sideline business while you still have the safety – and benefits – of a job.

If you do want some help with getting your independence more quickly, you may want to check out this very cool time management course, complete with a special day job eliminator bonus:

CLICK HERE for the Day Job Eliminator Bonus & more

The thing is, if you want true independence, you need passive income; at least a good portion of your income should arrive in your bank account without daily slogging away at something.

And that brings me to another point…

Web Hosting and Independence

All too many people are still hosting their blogs and websites on OTHER people’s properties.

Do you have a blogger blog, for example. I don’t mind blogger blogs at all. They can be great.

Just make sure that’s not the ONLY blog you have.

You need a blog on YOUR own hosting account.

And the second thing… do you have hosting with the company that also provides your domain names?

Not a good idea. Why? You don’t want to put all your eggs in one basket, or give any one outfit too much power.

What if they decide they don’t like what you’re doing? They can shut you down.

But if you have your site hosted with someone else, you can simply set up hosting with another someone else and point your domains to the new place. Not a problem.

And you may have noticed I talk about hosting… Yes, you need hosting, and you need hosting with a friendly, reasonably priced hosting company that’s helpful and has people you can talk to preferably 24/7.

And I have hosting with a hosting company just like that, and now they’re even offering 40% off. Today. As an Independence Day Special.

CLICK HERE for Independence Day Hosting Special

That’s it. Get 40% off. Get your own hosting. And start your independent money site without having to worry about someone taking it down next week.

Independence Day BONUS:

If you take advantage of this offer, and you send me your receipt to elisabethhelp AT gmail DOT com – I’ll send you a guide on how to get started blogging as a FREE BONUS.

That way, you can truly get started with claiming your independence.

Happy 4th of July!

Of course the Warrior Forum can be a huge money pit — I’ve probably spent thousands on stuff that I ended up not even using, sometimes because it was black hat and violating other places’ terms of services.

And sometimes it just didn’t work. I forget ust how many Craigslist offers I bought that offered strategies that no longer worked. Ugh!

But in between lots of duds there are some huge gems! And recently, I’ve been very impressed by some of the things I bought: Here are a couple of my favorites:

.

1) Hacking YouTube

This one literally left me speechless. This CAN’T be legit, I thought, but it really doesn’t violate any rules. Not according to the person offering it, and not according to what I could see. How cool is that.

What is it? It’s a way to do advertising on YouTube without losing your shirt.

Is it easy? Well, I suppose it depends on your niche, but it’s definitely a lot less hard than other stuff I tried, and you don’t even have to make your own videos.

Want to take a look? CLICK HERE for “Hacking YouTube”

.

2) Commission Overload

Well, this one is REALLY good. How so?

Its title promises commissions galore, and judging from what I’ve seen so far (the first few videos) it definitely delivers.

As I said, I only watched the first view videos, and already I learned more about CPA offers (AND “selling”) than I had in literally dozens of other courses.

These videos are excellent and straight to the point. And the author doesn’t leave anything out — he tells you exactly how to get into CPA networks, which ones to get into, and what to say to the managers.

He also tells you how to stay on their good side. I’m now glad I never attempted too much because I’ve been utterly misinformed by some of the previous things I’ve read. This one debunked quite a few myths.

Here’s the key: Play by the rules! And he gives you a lot of pointers on how to make sure you do that so you won’t get in trouble with the CPA network.

Where can you check it out? Here: CLICK HERE for Commission Overload
.

3) Free Backlinks

Finally, a WSO that shows you how to get FREE backlinks.

We all know about the importance of backlinks, and so here is a system that shows you how to get something like 3,000 backlinks for free.

Just don’t use them all at once and then stop, or Google will not be happy. If you add them over time and on a regular basis, though, this can be a mighty powerful system.

And the best thing? It’s just 10 bucks. Just don’t wait too long because this thing will sell out, and probably soon.

Want to check it out? CLICK HERE for FREE backlinks!

Just to clarify: The backlinks will be free. The WSO does cost 10 bucks. But the value of it is HUGE.

.
3) eMoney Magic

Well, here’s me tooting my own horn! eMoney Magic is pretty cool too. It’s MINE! Check it out while it’s still available as a WSO and before the price goes WAY up.

.
4) Kevin Riley’s How-To-Book Business Course

And finally, here’s something I bought recently while it was a WSO. I had to have my own copy because I was thinking about recommending it.

And as I went through it, I got more and more excited by the minute. This course is really cool.

Unlike most of the above courses, it’s NOT based on video, but a collection of PDF files, so you can sit and read it in a coffeeshop or anywhere you like.

I would have (almost) been able to do this sight unseen because I know Kevin Riley’s work and it’s all fantastic.

And so this comprehensive product is no exception. Kevin walks you step-by-step through how to set up a thriving how-to-book business. There’s nothing left out!

It’s not particularly cheap, but it’s worth every penny. And if you put it to use, you can easily make your money back with your very first product you’ll create.

.
And there you have it. I hope you’ll find these mini reviews and recommendations helpful.

Have a fantastic day!

BUT… in the Warrior Forum Special Offers section where Warrior Forum Special Offers are posted (short: WSO), it CAN happen — and it’s not rocket science either — IF you know the ropes.

In fact, countless members have built their online business with the help of those WSO’s or Warrior Forum Special Offers.

I just wrote an ezine article about how to go about it, and you can find it here:

http://budurl.com/er45

Take a look — and you’ll see the basic outline of how it works and what it takes.

The secret is really in the fact that you’ll be able to get in front of thousands of eager buyers, cash in hand, looking for stuff to invest in. And if you can offer them the sort of thing they’re looking for, you can make quite a lot of sales very quickly.

But what about the ropes?

Well, Jason Fladlien created an ebook where he explains the key insider secrets that make the difference between success and flop. And he knows what he’s talking about — after all he is one of the Warrior Forum Success Stories.

Just 3 years ago, he found himself broke enough to move back in with his dad and to go to work with him painting houses.

But he didn’t give up. He started as a ghostwriter, and then… he launched his first WSO.

He hasn’t looked back since. His first WSO was quickly followed by a whole series of new ones, and he had his first 6-figure MONTH in early summer/late spring when his daughter was born.

Here’s where you can find Jason’s guide:

Jason’s WSO Fast Money Secrets Guide

It’s REALLY good! I’m working on my next WSO and will let you know about it as soon as it’s up.

I suppose you have an ATM card, and the one at your bank works just fine, thank you very much. But that one takes money out of your checking account…

The one Tiffany Dow is basically handing to you, for a fee of course, creates money from scratch! Out of thin air. Sort of.

Okay, so you do have to work for it. But it’s work that can get paid pretty well. And it creates passive income.

It works by teaching you how to build your own business selling PLR. And just in case you’re not familiar with it, PLR means Private Label Rights, which is content that gives you the right to edit it and put your own name on it and basically use it as your own — except you generally can’t use it as articles unless you do some SERIOUS rewriting. But you can put it on blogs, into autoresponders, and even assemble it into special reports.

The bonus: it’s really cheap — much cheaper than even the most crappy outsourced writing.

So what’s the scoop on Tiffany Dow’s PLR ATM course?

I was really excited about Tiffany’s course ever since I first heard of it, and now that I had a chance to read it and watch (some of) the videos, I’m even more excited and raring to go.

I’ve known Tiffany for several years now, and I’ve been buying bunches of her PLR too, so I knew exactly what she was talking about – and I knew she was making a nice living off of her PLR.

But would she really spill the beans to help us do the same. Knowing her, I knew she would. And the course confirms that.

She provides a thorough step-by-step, from deciding on the kind of PLR products to create to the niches for which to create them.

Next, she tells us how to set up the site, going from a budget version that is basically free to a “real” site.

And then she goes into marketing the PLR products.

The videos provide a lot more detail and help you set up your own PLR ATM a la Tiffany Dow.

Is it easy? If you can write, it’s a piece of cake. If you can’t write, you could still outsource the writing. Just realize that you have to provide quality writing if you want to turn your PLR site into a REAL ATM machine. That’s because rappy PLR will get you exactly nowhere.

Here’s the clincher… Tiff actually includes a list of topics that her clients wanted PLR products for, and she GIVES them to us, so we can create those products.

And there’s something else surprising I discovered… I hadn’t realized just how open the market really is. I thought it was wildly competitive, but apparently that’s just not the case.

In fact, just the other day, I was looking for some PLR on a certain topic and could NOT find anything decent. Actually, that happened for several topics, and so Tiffany now confirmed what I would have figured out myself if I had only put two and two together.

Any complaints? Gosh. If I don’t find anything to pick on you might think this is just a sales pitch.

Well, there’s one. The price tag is a bit higher than I would have preferred but then I’m a bit cheap.

Also keep in mind that this is one product that really delivers what it promises, and it’s not THAT expensive. I’ve paid a lot more for stuff that was a lot less worthy of the investment.

In fact, if you hustle a bit, you can seriously work your way through the product and get your business up and running and bringing in money in a weekend. And this is something I intend to do myself! Watch for my new PLR site and products by Monday. I’ll post updates!

Of course, Tiffany also has a disclaimer — no income guarantees are made. Of course she has to have that — after all, she has no control over what people do with her course. It only works if you work it

And the examples about how much she made for her various Warrior Special Offers can be downright annoying — for anyone who’s given to envy. As for me, I found them positively inspiring!

I mean, she just handed me the key to doing it all for myself, complete with pep talk and even a bonus chapter she added after a guinea pig of hers (i.e., one of her newbie students) found a few gaps in her program.

As for me, she so inspired me that I’m raring to get started. In fact, to turbo-charge MY new ATM, I’m going to go through my hard drive and find some of my writing that I can repurpose as PLR, to give myself a jump start…

So where can you find Tiffany Dow’s PLR ATM? Just CLICK HERE!

And so, in the next few blog posts, I’ll give you some tools for how to do just that.

First of all, you need to decide on what to do….

And if you’re Googling “Make money online” or “start online business” you’ll get literally millions of results — most of them designed to give you a great big headache and to empty out your pocket book faster than you can say “What the Heck?!”

Now I’m not saying that everybody is hawking a scam. There are a lot of well-meaning people out there with make money online and starting your business products that work (some of them a whole lot better than others).

But still…

Usually, there are a few problems with a lot of the products, even those created by well-meaning marketers… Learn to read ALL the small print and the disclaimers.

The problems with many products:

7) They lock you into one niche that may or may not deliver — and by the time you find out, you’re flat broke

That last one happened to me after an expensive “high level” coaching program — it was literally useless and cost me more than $5,000! It still makes me weep when I think of what I could have done with all that money instead.

Not only was the information basically a rehash of what I had already paid for — and paid to that same person no less — but the one thing that went beyond the generic stuff got me off a path that was starting to work for me and sent me to a market that was not interested in spending money on that kind of product — and could basically get something they thought was equivalent for free. Yikes.

Well, that was two years ago, and I’m not making THAT mistake again (I hope).

So what should YOU do?

Start out slowly, and look very carefully before you leap into high-priced programs. Or even programs that start out seemingly low-priced, but if you actually want to make money with them, you have to upgrade…

Examples of those are multi-level marketing programs (some of them anyway). Another pitfall of those… you often have to buy leads — and those can be very expensive.

Oh, and one last thing… beware of unsolicited calls for “coaching” — even if they guarantee that you make the big bucks or your money back. You get those when you sign up for certain “free” “pay-for-shipping-only” offers…

A good rule of thumb: hang up on anyone who wants to know your credit history on that first and unsolicited call. Just say NO.

And all of the above is just about the programs that are for real, at least more or less, though they rarely deliver all they promise.

There’s a whole world of scams out there.

Basically, here are a few rules of thumb:

If you have to pay for a “work-at-home” job, take a pass. And if something promises you outlandish profits for very little work, it really is too good to be true.

Stay clear of “survey” programs as well, certainly until you’ve gotten VERY good at reading ALL their small print, or unless you’re really excited about working for pennies an hour, most of them payable in gift certificates.

This is not meant to discourage you, but to ENCOURAGE you to look before you leap, and do some serious soul searching before you invest in anything pricey.

Here’s another reason why pricey products are probably not what you need right now:

In order to get the most out of them, you need to have an online business already and have gotten way past the basics.

Here are a couple of FREE reports to get you started thinking in the right direction:

* A guide on some of your best options for making real money online

If you have stuff lying around your home and want to get a fast start, I highly recommend that last one especially — I myself have gotten my own start with selling stuff on Amazon Marketplace.
The cool thing about selling stuff on Amazon especially is that it’s VERY low-tech, requires no fees up front, and Amazon does the advertising for you, so it’s really easy.

You’ll get more info on that in the Amazon.com vs Ebay resource above.

Anyway, check out those resources, do some thinking about what might work for you, and then… go for it.

To your success,

Elisabeth

P.S.: I almost forgot… I’d like to invite you to get my FREE online success e-course which will give you an introduction to article marketing and affiliate marketing, plus other stuff.

But when one of my favorite mentors mentioned that she made quite a bit of money recommending it, plus that she’s put a number of the 20 ways to very productive use, I dug it up and took a closer look.

And indeed. It’s the real thing. If you think about it, $100/day is not millions or even a boatload of money. You can live off it though, if you don’t have a huge mortgage and no credit card debts or student loans to pay back.

The techniques in there?  Well… it is and it isn’t what it says it is.

Some of them aren’t exactly businesses all by themselves, but the book as a whole gives you a really solid basis for making money online. It touches on all the basic aspects you need to build your business, from list building to promotion, and a range of ways to make money starting pretty much right away — without needing much of an investment.

You do need a certain degree of skill, and you definitely need a whole lot of elbow grease.

Being a ghostwriter is no walk in the park.  Neither is being a freelance graphic designer or any number of the other ventures that are featured in the book.  They are VERY real.

So if you really want to either make a living online or supplement your day job income with extra money, this is one book that delivers.

It gives you a variety of options to choose from. And then it gives you the tools to start making some money.  I’ve tried several of them myself (article writing, ghostwriting, eBay, affiliate marketing) and in fact, I’m still doing all of them to some degree of another.

And then, there’s the best one of all: you get to be an affiliate for the product and earn 100% commission, all of it instantly paid into your PayPal account. Now if that’s not an incentive, I don’t know what is.

In fact, I probably could have found a way around it, but I actually went out and bought another copy because I had lost the affiliate info for my old copy, and so now I plan to put that particular plan into action.

So what do you think?  Want to give that book a whirl?

After all, you can get that investment back with the first copy you successfully recommend to someone else

And I haven’t even mentioned that they provide you with a ready-made sales page, so all you have to do is “throw traffic at it” like another mentor of mine, Jason Fladlien, likes to say.

I also ought to mention that they authors who wrote the book include some very well-known and respected veteran internet marketers, from Willie Crawford, the editor, and Dr. Mani, the pediatric surgeon from India who got into internet marketing to help raise funds for the children he tried to help.

There are several others who are very senior members of the Warrior Forum, THE internet marketing gathering place. And all of them are members of TIMIC, also known as The Internet Marketing Inner Circle, Willie Crawford’s inner circle.

So do I recommend 20 Ways to Make $100 a Day Online?  Heck, yeah.  It’s a solid start and should be in the library of every beginning internet marketer — and maybe even every wannabe internet marketers. Because if they actually read it and start putting it to use, they won’t be wannabes for long — they’ll be the real thing.

So can you make $100 a day online with this book. Yes, and much more.

If you’re less than happy and are feeling just a bit frustrated (or a lot frustrated), I might have something for you.

First, the usual disclaimer:  No guarantees.  Can’t do that. Although if you don’t like it, you’ll get your money back.

And second, you won’t make millions. But you CAN make your car payments, or extra cash for gifts and Holiday decorations.

And yes, it’s WAY easier than eBay.

So what am I talking about?  This:

Go take a look.  You’ve got nothing to lose.  It may even be on sale, depending on when you’re looking.

One warning:

This ebook was written specifically for the U.S.  However, Amazon has subsidiaries in other countries:  Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.co.jp or something like that.  And yes, you may have to make a few adjustments around the edges, but it still works much the same way.

Anyway, please take a look….  And have a happy pre-season.

Now I did it backwards, and it was high time I found this book…

I printed it out immediately last night and read the whole thing, and I’m starting to work on it right away.  Its authors, Sara and Tony explain everything step-by-step in language I can actually understand, and the whole system makes a lot of sense. And they’ve been using it to make a nice reliable income.

Look for the resulting products right here and just about everywhere else really soon (we’re talking a week or so).

Thanks go to Travis, the ultimate bum marketer and creator of the Bum Marketing System, who alerted me to it in one of his informative emails

The embarrassing thing — that particular email had been sitting in my inbox since about January, and I just found it because I went back over all of his emails looking for some sort of enlightenment.  And hello…  There it was.

And here it is:

This is one product that’s worth every penny! What’s the deal with the worn paper thing? That’s what it used to be written on as Sara followed it step by step over and over until the paper almost fell apart. So then they wrote the book

It’s way cool!

So go get that worn paper that could be YOUR license to quit that day job too.

(Guest article by Terry Telford:)

Did you know that there are literally thousands of ways to make
money online?

One of the most solid business models to ensure a continual
monthly income is a subscription based membership website.

Members pay a monthly fee for access to a private memberís
area where they can access your information. You can provide
a variety of information in as many formats as you choose.
You can offer articles, reports, audios, videos,
teleseminars, downloads, software, almost anything you can
imagine.

Even if you offer a low cost membership, it only takes a
few members to make a comfortable income. A membership
website that charges $9.97 a month, only needs 300 members
to generate $3,000 every month.

And setting up a membership website has become remarkably
simple with advances in software that can be set up in a
couple hours, even by the average non-technical person.

But while it’s just that simple, once you’ve figured things out,
in the beginning, it takes some time
and energy to put the whole project together. But then it’s
simply a matter of updating, maintaining and marketing. So
let’s look at the steps to put together a successful
membership website.

Step 1
Choose a market. This is critical. You should look for a
market youíre going to enjoy working in as well as a market
people spend money in. People spend money where they are
passionate. Markets like sports, pets, business, and hobbies
all make hot markets to launch a membership website

Step 2
Test the market. Visit forums and chat rooms and ask people
if they know of any good websites that offer up-to-date
information.

Step 3
Use your research from Step 2 to develop a rough outline of
what your website will offer your members

Step 4
Write a sales letter and have the graphics professionally
designed. If you canít do this yourself, hire a freelancer
from elance.com or guru.com

Step 5
Set up the membership software to run the site.

Step 6
Populate the site with your content

Step 7
Market your site and let the cash flow begin.

7 simple steps and youíve got a membership website that
will generate a solid monthly cash flow for you. Each step
takes some effort and energy, but you can have your first
membership website completely set up and running in less
than a month. Then you can repeat the process as many times
as you like to increase your membership portfolio and your
monthly income.

URGENT UPDATE

Here’s great news: for 7 days, you can bypass the whole
membership website creation process.

Now you can get your complete membership website,
ready to upload to your server today. You can have a fully
functional membership website ready to take orders in the
next 2 hours. It’s only available for 7 days (or until they
sell out, so make sure you visit today.

Sounds too good to be true? Depends on who’s offering it. This one is the creation of Terry Telford and Edwin Ryan. I know Terry Telford — met him at the Las Vegas Conference (Masters Seminar organized by Ross Goldberg), and Terry is not only a really nice guy, but he’s also brilliant!

So when I saw this offer, it was irresistable. And it’ll be gone in a flash.

They say it’ll be available for only 7 days — BUT there’s a second part: or until sold out, and I would bet that it will sell out WAY before the 7 days are up.

I knew I had to have one and so I immediately jumped on it. So look for invitations to join MY membership site shortly

Where can you find this amazing offer?

Right where it says Instant Membership Site.

Do Check it out and let me know what you think…

Plus come back soon, coz I’m going to give a way a few FREE reports very soon!
