Because I am the info junkie I do come across ALOT of excellent offers, usually they come with a freebie attached to an upgrade…

So what is the lesson I received?

Well….I have been forwarding those opportunities to my small but esteemed list…

not bad in itself…

However, I have been relying on the freebie part as my content. BAD IDEA it smells of I WANT TO SELL YOU SOMETHING !!!

I also learned that I should probably scale back my emails from 5 times a week.

So how did I come up with this not so new brainstormed idea? I ASKED MY LIST. Go figure…

Whats my course of action?

I am going to re-design my emails to more of a newsletter. By that I mean I will have a topic, that may run for a period of time, maybe some personal stuff, and limit the distribution to two to three times a week.

But….as we have read a gazillion times CONTENT will be real and usable.

So what am I going to be doing in all the free time? Building that list of course. Buts thats another post..

P.S. Can you put a ps on a blog post? I dont know..

I was surfing some other blogs I really enjoy and Dean Holland had a post just today that is right in line with my thoughts in this posting. Take a look here

Look I will be honest with you, I cannot give you any upsell in the report. I can only tell you that if you sign up and download the PDF you have giveaway privileges. 

You could find another product that you have resell rights to to offer an upsell…or…BETTER YET… you can just use this to generate your list.

If you were to set up a squeeze page with a sign-up like Alex shows in the training you will get names on your list.  Use the golden rule with your list and they will reward you like you do those who treat you well.

Thats it for now….I am supposed to be working at my J.O.B.

I have been signing many of my comments with Merry Christmas.  I do not wish to offend or get into a religion discussion here.  I only want to explain why I say Merry Christmas when so many would insist you say Happy Holidays or the like. 

I am not trying to be politically ignorant.  I fully understand that there are other faith persuasions here.  For myself I am a Catholic Christian, which means I do believe in God.  Because of that this season is a very special rememberance of Jesus. 

I acknowlege that religion and faith are personal choices, yet affect entire communities. 

When I say Merry Christmas to you I am giving my wish of only good things for you from my most inner being, that part of me that is most true, and comes from the most sacred.  Any other greeting would just pale by comparison.

So….Merry Christmas to you all…

It’s called Instant Banner Creator and it’s the most simple and effective tool I have ever used to create great looking banners and other cool graphics.  You can get it for free here:

Anyway  I’m pretty excited about some of the headers I’ve already made (going to use them for some converted PLR products I am working on) - they look great, I can’t believe I made them.  

You can check it out here http://instantbannercreator.com/?rid=88 yes you will navigate through a one time offer, which is pretty darn good also, but you really can use the banner maker for free.

Is it easier to imagine or set your sights on making say $100,000.00 a day or $1,000.00 a day online?  It occured to me that many of us can’t fathom $100,000.00 a year let alone a day. 

Then another thought struck me (my head hurts from all those strikes…)

I wonder how many people searching to build an online business are simply seeking a way to augment their income, or bring either the husband or wife back into the home for the families sake.  You know generate the income to sustain their lifestyle (or improve it) yet free up time constraints.

For me I am looking to retire from an almost 30 year career.  My family is too young to live on half the income I am earning working, and I am pretty much out of the market for a second career… 

Any thoughts?
