As I was perusing the newspaper this weekend, this headline jumped out at me–

‘Jobless ranks hit 10 million, most in a quarter-century; unemployment hits 14-year high‘

Now, at first glance, this is not good news. It means that there are more people out of work today than there has been in the past 25 years.

Are you one of them?

It means that, depending on what kind of work you do, the competition for openings that could arise in that field is going to be fierce.

How would you like to go into a job interview and find out that there are, say, 15 other people who they are interviewing for that position?

Unless you have perfected the interview process, the chances of you landing that job are slim…and even if you do, the salary for the position is probably going to be lower than what you were previously making…

So you have a couple of choices here…stay on the job search merry-go-round and become more and more frustrated as time goes by or until the economy takes a drastic upturn and companies start hiring back the people they let go.

How long is that going to be??

How well honed are YOUR speculation skills?

That’s what I thought.

Teaching Opportunity

Here is where the teaching opportunity comes in. How many of those 10 million people have internet access? I would speculate somewhere in the 60-75% range, which means that there are 6-7.5 million people out there who MAY just turn to their computer to find out how they can make some extra moola.

Ok, let’s look at the low side…let’s say that you could get just 1% of those people on your list. That’s an additional 60,000 subscribers.

How would you like to have access to that many potential subscribers or customers on your list? I bet every single Information Marketer out there would!

How about one half of one percent? Would 30,000 subscribers make a difference in your business? I know it would in mine.

Do you have the skills to teach people HOW to make extra cash using their computers? If you were a subscriber to my K.A.R. (Knowledge-Application-Results) newsletter, you could be learning those skills!

It’s a win-win. I teach you.

You teach them.

All of us are making extra income.

I say that because not all of us are going to be targeting the same audience. Some of you may be targeting dog lovers, some motorcycle riders…that’s just two of the thousands of niches that you can target with your business.

So what are you waiting for? Grab my bonuses for subscribing to the K.A.R. newsletter and let’s grab this teaching opportunity by the horns and shake it up!

Or, stay on the merry-go-round and keep honing those interviewing skills.

Til next time….

Here’s to YOUR successes!

Are we in that bad of condition economically? The second half of the headline says it all, I think.

From what we read in the media, be it in the newspaper, online, perusing magazine covers going through the checkout line, we are being told that we are in the middle of dire economic times.

When I read the headline about the Minnesota lottery sales, I was dumbfounded. You can read the short article here.

It seems people are still seeking that ’silver bullet’, that ‘big win’…the prize that will set them up for life so that they won’t have to work anymore.

Are ‘we’ THAT lazy?

Are we THAT dissatisfied with our present work situation that we are seeking a way to get out of it?

Great idea, but where do the funds come from to pay our bills for the next whatever period of time?

Don’t get me wrong…I use the word ‘we’ carefully, because there are people who don’t spend money on lottery tickets weekly, and I am one of those people. There are people who are satisfied with their present working situation and don’t have a problem with not changing anything. I am NOT one of those people, I am not satisfied with status quo and I am working towards being financially independent (I am not there yet, but don’t have too far to go).

What if there were a way that you could work on replacing your full time income, but do it starting in your spare time, with very little monetary output on your part?

Is Internet Marketing, or Information Marketing, as I like to term it, the answer? Doug Champigny has a good take on that…..you can read it here.

I am not saying that this is the ’silver bullet’ that is going to make you thousands of dollars overnight, but it can put you on that road to making a couple of hundred dollars a month and with more effort, possibly replacing your full time income and allowing you to ‘retire’ from the rat race.

Believe me, there are thousands of people (and probably millions) out there right now that are looking for a way to make money from home. If you get any of what Doug mentions in his post, there are going to be many more thousands, possibly millions more, coming on line in the next year or two who are going to be looking for a way to replace their incomes by working from home doing some sort of Information Marketing.

I want to position myself to help them choose whatever vehicle that they want to use to get them to whever they need to go. My K.A.R. (Knowledge-Application-Results) system will definitely help them, and you. I strongly suggest that you sign up for my newsletter (the form is in the upper right hand side of the page)…..not only will you get some great reports, but you will also get more ‘inside information’ on what I am doing, how I am doing it, and the results that I am getting.

Did you know that the statistics show that fully one third of all lottery winners are broke within 5 years of winning the big money?

So who are you going to listen to? The media that is telling us daily that things are crumbling around us, or to your ‘inside voice’ telling you that there IS a way that you can change things and make yourself a better person?

So hop in to my K.A.R and take a ride. You’ve got nothing to lose, but OH so much to gain!

Til next time,

Here’s to YOUR success,

Internet Marketing doesn’t have to be hard, but there are wayyyy too many people that make it that way.

Why? Probably because there are soooo many different ways to make this business work.

Have you decided which direction you want to go? That is the biggest obstacle that most people have a hard time overcoming.

Affiliate marketing? Creating your own info product? Pay Per Click Advertising? Joint Venturing? Social Networking?

The list is endless, but the ONE biggest thing that every guru out there has?

A LIST.

Not just A list, but a responsive list of people who are willing to purchase from you.

In my opinion, if you don’t have a list, spinning your wheels trying everything else can lead you to the poor house relatively quickly. I will expand on list building in another post.

Now, not to change the subject, but if you look at the header of my site, you will see my ‘motto’ if you will….it’s what I call the K.A.R. system and it’s what I truly believe will lead you to be prosperous as long as you don’t get distracted by everything else.

What is K.A.R?

KNOWLEDGE–APPLICATION–RESULTS

It’s the ’system’ that I am going to using through this vehicle to teach others how to start creating an income doing this wacky thing called Inernet Marketing.

Knowledge–You must acquire some sort of knowledge of what you are going to be doing to create that income before you start doing it. Reading. Sitting in on teleseminars. Listening to mp3’s on your Ipod. However you acquire that knowledge (hopefully through my site) of what you are going to be doing.

Then……..

Application–How do you apply that knowledge that you have acquired. What do you do? Where do you do it? THAT is probably the area that most people, me included, struggle.

You have questions–how do I do it? Where do I do that? How often do I do that?

Results–What does the application of the knowledge that you have acquired bring about? Does it bring in more subscribers to your list? Does it bring in more affiliate sales? Sales of your own info product? Whatever it brings, you need to track it and change it if necessary to bring about the desired results. Or if it gets the results that you are looking for, tweak what you have done and do it again to make the results improve.

So, back to my post title: How Can I Help YOU?

What do you want to learn about? What would you like me to write more (or less) about?

Your successes are tied to me….if I can’t be successful, how am I supposed to show you how to be successful?

You are here to track my results and I am going to be sharing with you my acquired knowledge, how I apply it, and what my results are, so that YOU can duplicate it! How’s that?

My personal assignment to myself is to post here at least 3-4 times a week and share with you what I know, apply and what that brings about. What is your assignment to YOURSELF going to be?

Leave a comment and let me know.

Until next time…..

Here’s to YOUR success…
