This is a detailed system that will show you how to create some money, by building a system that includes only little known free tools. This program I am going to show you will build some cash for you but I can not say how much, if I had to guess it will creat anywhere from $100.00 to $1,900.00. If you never had much of a past with affiliate marketing you should know this is how it really works, you put together a plan or system for one product you make $100.00, then you put that exact same program together for another product and you make $1,800.00 the first day, then you average $2,000.00 per day for the next 30 days, then after that you average $300.00 per day for the next 30 days, then $17.00 per day for the next 30 days.
I stated you put togehter a plan or system not campaign, a campaign online is usually paying for something like ppc, or any other cost system. All of my best results has come from free stuff.
This plan has no affiliate links in it, because I believe that will take away the true value of what it is I want to teach you. Now let’s get on with the best step by step system online.

Day 1) go to http://www.Clickbank.com and open an account there as an affiliate.

Day 2) Go to Clickbank and find a product you believe will sell ( I suggest you do this quick and not spend to much time on this one) I found that all the things that I made more that $10,000.00 off of I never really thought would sell at all. So this is important but not as important as it may look right now. Remember whatever product you choose you can use the same system to run your next product throught.

Day 2) Get your link from the product you choose, and add it to your domain name. If your not sure how to do this go to Godaddy and purchase a domain name (website name) make up a name that has to do with your product (purchase a.info name) this will cost $1.98. Next forward your domain name to your new product address. If you need help call godaddy they have great customer service and will walk you through this process.

Day 3) Find two or three articles that were written about your product, read them and write an article about your product that includes your new infomation.

Day 4) Go to Jetspinner.com and learn how to spin your article you just wrote, by watching the video on the website. this website is designed to sell the article submitter (do not buy anything) the article spinner is a free tool on this site. When you complete this step you will have created 50 different articles from 1 single article.

Day 5) Find the top 20 article directories, by going to google and typing in “top article directories” then open an account in 12 to 15 of the top 20 article directories.

Day 6) Submit all 50 articles into 1 or 2 directories everyday for the next 7 days. That’s it,your cashflow will begin in about 3 days.

Article Submitter: I do not reccommend using any article submitter, because none of them do what they say they are doing. For example some say they submit to 1200 article directories, but when you go to those directories to check your articles, you’ll see none of your articles were placed in any of those directories and most of those directories don’t even exist.

Another reason for not using article submitters is because article directories that mean anything (top 20 article directories) don’t like you using them, and many found ways to block them from submitting.

Final reason for not using article submitter, most are out dated and never updated therefore they do not submit to any of the top 25 directoies.

But if you still really want to use a article submitter this one is the only one I would suggest http://www.CoastalFreeLeads.com this is the only one that is constantly being updated by the makers of this product, with the latest webmaster tools that keeps all top 25 within it’s program. But I have to be totally honest this comes with hours of videos showing you step by step how everthing works and a excellent customer service 800 number for you can call,but this is still be the most complicated article submitter system you ever worked with or seen.But it does work on auto-pilot and it will take the 50 articles and submit them in a matter of hours into all top 25 article directories and about 200 more, instead of taking days to do this.

I’m something of a political junkie, someone who enjoys watching politicians speak. And, among their speeches I find leadership convention speeches among the most interesting. As the commentators and pundits so relentlessly tell us, leadership races can be won or lost on the content and delivery of those speeches.

Let’s talk about delivery, and one technique that good speakers use. Of course it’s used not only by politicians, but by anyone who wants to deliver a persuasive message in a speech or presentation.

Lower the volume! Many speakers do just the opposite, of course. They increase the volume to try to make a point.

But, the people who study speaking tell us to lower the volume. Consider what happens when you do that.

First, you force members of the audience to listen more closely. If you speak at one level, then drop the volume quickly, we in the audience focus more intently than we did a moment before. We have to; otherwise we wouldn’t hear what you say.

Second, when you lower the volume, the audience also takes in more of your facial expressions and body language. To compensate for the lost volume, we in the audience look for other cues that will tell us what you’re saying.

Third, when you lower your voice, you’ll likely slow down as well. That, too, triggers audience awareness that something has changed and we need to be more alert than we were.

It’s not something you do a lot; rather, it’s something you do infrequently because if you use it a lot, it loses its effectiveness. You use lower volume when you want to emphasize a point.

You’ll also find it helpful to lower the volume when you want to shift directions in your speech or presentation. It catches the attention of audience, and as a result, members of the audience will be paying attention and will know that you’ve moved on to a new topic or new section.

Try it for yourself, even in simple one-on-one conversations: Lower your volume and see what kind of effect it has on the other person.

You know what I am talking about.

All-staff meetings, Town Halls, Team Forums. They have many different names, and their original intent was good.

But, here’s where they go wrong…

The CEO or senior leader stands in front of the group, tries to break the ice through a method in which no one responds, goes on to give an update on the business, then asks the question, “do you have any questions?”

And no one responds.

Thirty minutes of diatribe from the leader. Thirty minutes of silence from the audience.

What was originally meant to open the lines of communication has turned into an information dump followed by exacerbated rumors and questions in the hallway afterwards. Instead of being a positive experience, people “feel like” they don’t have a voice and the experience breeds resentment.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Here are some ideas to make your next All-staff meeting more interesting, interactive and engaging.

• Ask team members to submit questions prior to the meeting. This engages participants, tells you exactly what they want to hear about, and increases the level of participation and ownership people have in the meetings.
• Remove physical barriers typically found in conference rooms and cafeterias. Put chairs in a u-shape formation, remove tables, have people stand or sit on the floors. Take away the physical barriers that are an obstacle to open communication.
• Communicate what you know and don’t know. Most of the pain people experience from change has more to do with the stories they tell themselves than about the change itself. Communicating what you know and don’t know often alleviates the fear around change.
• Invite team members to do short presentations on various personal and professional topics. Give center stage to people who are not in supervisory positions. Again, this elevates engagement, and it gives you an opportunity to see up-and-comers in action.
• Follow-up with action items and ask for additional input to ensure you captured what you thought you heard people say. At the start of the next All-staff, review the status of the action items from the previous month’s meeting to demonstrate your commitment to your people.
• And finally, stop trying to be the invulnerable leader. You might think that’s what people expect of you. But, they really want humility, empathy, and someone who’s real.

Team Building

‘…a small number of people with complimentary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals and an approach for which they hold themselves accountable’

This definition of a team was penned by Jon Katzenbach and Doug Smith in their book The Wisdom of Teams (1993). They argued that there was a threshold a group must cross before it becomes a team. The stages are:

Loose working group – A collection of individuals. Each group worker helps the task without feeling a real part of a team. Being part of the work-group paces no more demands on the individual than if they worked independently.

Pseudo-team – No joint benefit to being part of a team. Individual performance worse than working alone. No focus, common sense, purpose, and no set goals. Team members are ‘feeling their way in the dark’. Possible antagonism between members causes team to crumble.

Potential Team – Collection of individuals with clear performance need. Aware that performance improvement is needed and want to achieve it. Lack of clarity in their aims and discipline required for common working approach. No mutual accountability. An opportunity and challenge for management.

Real team – ‘…a small number of people with complimentary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals and an approach for which they hold themselves accountable’. This is a reality for these individuals.

High-performance team – As ‘real team’, but also deeply committed to personal growth and success of members. Will significantly out-perform other teams.

In a different approach Tuckman and Jensen (1997) identified four phases of team development:

Forming – Individuals come together, exchange ideas, gather information, set objectives
Storming – Group exchange ideas, reach agreement on objectives/strategy. There is often conflict and disagreement.
Norming – Group starts to share ideas, collaborate, and group cohesion begins.
Performing – Team concentrates on tasks. Pattern of working established. Members assume roles or functions. Each member is able to make best possible contribution.

On the weekend I went out to my local shopping center just for something to do. The whether was quite miserable so I thought a little retail therapy would do me good. I wondered form store to store but then something in one particular store caught my eye. It was a young girl working in the store, leaning on the counter reading the Sunday newspaper. So I thought I wonder what she would do if I walked into the store? I walked in and looked around for a few minutes and she didn’t even look up to see if anyone was in the store. I went up to the counter and stood there. It was about a minute or so till she realized I was there. She looked up and said ‘can I help you with something’? I said that I was just looking and she went back to reading the paper.

This girl clearly didn’t want to be there. She couldn’t have been more disengaged from her job than she was. It seems though that no matter what industry you are in, this sort of thing happens a lot. I read a poll from the Australian Financial Review of February this year that said out of the 1000 workers that were polled, 79% said that they were not engaged at work. It’s no wonder then that approximately $33.5 billion are lost annually here in Australia alone for business. That’s a staggering amount of money that is lost.

The answer is pretty obvious you might say to stop this from happening. Yes it is. Get people to be more engaged at work. But the question is, whose responsibility is that? Simple. As a manager, it’s your off course! Yes, the solution always starts at the top. You are the top as far as your team is concerned. The most important thing you need to do is outline clear expectations as to what you want out of your staff. Strategies and policies should be developed and communicated with your staff. However, rather than just being a dictator and telling them what to do, the best thing is to involve them in those types of decisions. This would allow your staff to be involved in the process and it would also help them to understand the reasons for certain decisions and why they’re made. Involving your staff would also make them feel part of the decision making process and thus make them take ownership of it. It would be as if they sign an agreement because they have helped in the negotiation and implementation of a particular policy. Then no one can say that’s a stupid policy if they had a part in it.

Human nature being what it is, we tend to focus on the negatives. If a person doesn’t feel good about their job, while they’re at work, they focus on all the negatives in their lives and not on the job at hand. By giving your staff the opportunity to have a say in policies and procedures, it keeps them engaged and a part of what’s going on in the company. A 2009 report form the Carnegie Management Group said that if your staff are engaged, they rate 86% higher with customers, there is a 70% less employee turnover and they are 70% more likely to have higher productivity. Higher productivity means more profits for everyone. Wouldn’t it be great to have those kind of figures to present to your manager when you have your next weekly or monthly meetings with them? Off course it would. Go ahead and engage your them at your next staff meeting and see what happens.

No matter what business you’re in, no matter what product or service you bring to the market, no matter what innovative ways for doing business you’ve devised and no matter the durability or existence of the organization, one thing is certain – you agree exemplary leadership is essential to success.

All of us have imagined how we’d lead if ever given the chance. No matter where you are or where you’ve been on the road to influencing outcomes, you’ve exercised the option to scrutinize others’ leadership style and skills (or the lack thereof). Where do you find yourself now? Maybe you’ve recently been promoted and are a novice at the level of leadership entrusted to you, or maybe you have logged lots of miles.

Several of us might have been fortunate enough to have worked for someone who we would place in the category of exemplary leader. Most of us would say we haven’t. It’s not uncommon to adopt the same conviction to leading others that comes with parenting children.

You have been a first-hand observer of behaviors and choices you are certain you will NEVER duplicate. Exemplary leadership seems to have a stadium full of coaches in the bleachers claiming what should be done, what shouldn’t be done and the like.

When any of us find ourselves in the role of leader, we desire to be the best leader we can be. Signs of that would include looking for that gifted mentor to help, guide, coach and encourage the way.

We might believe that if we lead 180 degrees differently than our most recent leader, we’d do a much better job. Or, we might believe we should lead exactly like our last leader to hit that target of being the best.

But, there is hope. The good news is that you don’t have to be born an exemplary leader – you can learn to become one. Many ordinary people have been categorized as some of the world’s greatest leaders – Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Martin Luther King, Stephen Covey, Robert Greenleaf, Mahatma Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher – to name a few.

All were humble men or women with different backgrounds who all made the list of exemplary leaders. Each of these vulnerable risk takers went down in history making a difference, losing some popularity contests and making mistakes.

There are eight key attributes you can develop to become an exemplary leader.

1. Be clear about the goal. It’s hard to get others to do what you want them to do if you aren’t clear about what you want.

2. Do champion creativity and innovation. No matter how smart you are, there’s always someone smarter. You don’t have to be the expert on how to do the work, and you lose nothing by letting someone else shine.

3. Stay informed, keep learning. Researching what others have done and what has succeeded and what has failed gives you insight as you make decisions.

4. Lead by example. People love challenges. They don’t mind working hard for someone who is right by their side with their sleeves rolled up too.

5. Insist on excellence. You’re not looking for perfection, just as close to it as possible. For instance, if everyone did their job today 95% perfect, what would that mean to the bottom line, customer satisfaction, the need for rework, etc.?

6. Be there for them. Care about them; know something personal about everyone who reports to you. Know their strengths and limitations, their aspirations and fears. Give them feedback that is helpful and meaningful. Develop them into leaders.

7. Be modest and humble. Share the applause and acclaim. History’s greatest leaders have all shared this trait.

8. Have character – don’t be one. Honesty, integrity, dependability – these traits determine a person’s character. Do what you say, when you say you’ll do it. Be principled, and hold yourself to those principles even when the going gets tough.

It takes resolve in the face of criticism from naysayers, determination when times get tough or when problems mount, commitment to learning what you don’t know, and the fortitude to embrace the changes in your behavior that are called for. Hard work no doubt, but if you have the desire to become an exemplary leader, so worth the effort. Make a difference; be a role model as you strive for exemplary leadership.

The TA-DA Formula is a procedure to help you eliminate indecision in your decision making process. The average person who is doing a home based business review faces many obstacles. There are many different factors that might lead them to either reject or accept a certain home based business. You must look at the pros and cons in a systematic way. The main enemy to decision making is procrastination. Procrastination is the opposite of decision and makes people inefficient. TA-DA is an acronym for a method that you may use to help you make decisions.

1. Think.

Reflective thinking will allow you to look at all of your options. You must ask the what, why, and how questions to properly do a home based business review. Will this business help you in furthering your major goals more effectively? How long it will take you to accomplish your goals? What are the repercussions if you don’t do anything?

2. Ask.

Ask targeting questions that allows you to make an intelligent and informed decision. Ask your Mastermind Group and other people who have specialized knowledge and experience. Do not ask anyone that has no idea about the inner working of a home based business. You must be thorough in checking everything out but avoid overkill. The more important the decision the more time you should take to evaluate it. When you have sufficient information, go on to the next step.

3. Decide.

You must look at the pros and cons of making or not making the decision. Make the decision and you are half way there. If you always sitting on the fence, then one day you will unable to get off. When you perform the proper due diligence, you will be comfortable with your decision.

4. Act.

You have done the first three steps now it is time to act. The chronic procrastinator lives in a state of ready-steady and never ready steady go. The first step you take is the most important part in running a marathon so act. When you build up momentum, you will be unable to stop until your goals have been accomplished. The rewards come when you start doing.

TA-DA is one of many different methods to make decisions. The key is to choose a method and make the decision. Procrastination and indecision are twins. Inaction or action either way the decision is made. If you accept the challenge of doing a home based business review, then you must follow through to the end. If you reject it, then you must be willing to live with the consequences.

I don`t know about you, but I can pretty easily make a top five list of gifts I`ve received for my birthday or Christmas. Some things stand out for their usefulness, some for the thought that was behind them and some just because they were cool.

And while I have enjoyed all the gifts on my top five or top ten (or even top 100) list immensely, there is an entirely different list that exceeds them all. And that`s the list I want to share with you now.

Being listened to. It happens so rarely, really. Yes, I am blessed with wonderful people in all parts of my life, and many are great listeners. It isn`t that they never listen; it`s that when they stop everything and focus on just me and my ideas, I feel more confident, stronger and smarter. It seems like such a simple act, and yet we all forget too frequently, which makes this gift all the more powerful.

Being trusted. When people trust me, I feel great! And while they don`t usually announce it in a card, with a voice mail or in a personal conversation that “You, know, I really trust you”; I can tell when they do. And when I sense their trust at higher levels it urges me to do everything I can to continue to earn it – which has the side benefit of creating a sense of accomplishment when it is achieved.

Being supported. This is a multifaceted gift because it can come in so many wrappings (including the other gifts mentioned here). I want to know that someone has my back – that they believe in me. That they want me to succeed, that they have my best interests at heart, and that they will recognize my successes. This doesn`t mean that I am absolving myself of responsibilities; it`s just that when I have the support (in all these many forms) of others it makes my life easier and more enjoyable.

Being included. I want to belong (we all do). I want to be asked to join (so do you). Whether it`s the game of tag on the playground, or to join the group for lunch out of the office, we all like to feel wanted, and we all need to be a part of a community. I won`t always say yes to every offer, but it doesn`t mean I don`t appreciate the gift of being asked, of being included.

Being loved. In some contexts, like at work, you might not use the word love – but you hopefully do use the word care or respect or like. These are wonderful gifts, and they`re all in the same family as love. But love is the bottom line – and the greatest gift of all.

These gifts are deeper, more meaningful and longer lasting than even the biggest or most expensive material gift. They are gifts given with action rather than with other resources. These are gifts cherished by everyone on earth, regardless of age, race, religion or job function.

While I`m talking about gifts, these thoughts aren`t confined to birthdays, and isn`t really about receiving either.

The cliché is true.

It is better to give than receive.

Now, read about these gifts again and think about how often you give them to those around you. Is it as often as it could be? Is your answer the same at work as it is in your personal life?

How could giving these gifts positively impact the people you lead as well as their performance?

Give yourself the gift of reflecting and acting on these questions today.

People will think you’re eco-cool!


One thing is for sure: we are not being very kind to our planet. When we are not cutting down rainforests and pumping oil into our seas, we are producing a ton of waste which could and should be recycled. There are lots of schemes and incentives currently to help people recycle at home; including multiple rubbish bins, recycling centres and special coloured boxes you put outside once a week. While there are schemes like this for businesses, they can be easily forgotten as motivated people come and go in an organisation. Now would be a great time to start a scheme in your office to help everyone recycle. After all, your co workers will appreciate your eco-mindedness and your bosses may appreciate it too, leading to potential back pats or even promotion.


So how do you set up your scheme?


Get Some Coloured Boxes


First things first: you need to tell people what to recycle. Get some nice big bins and label them with the types of material that you want people to put in them. Glass, plastic and paper is a good place to start. Once people know that there is somewhere to put their recyclables (recycling point), they shouldn’t find it too much trouble to sort them and pop them in.


Tell Everyone About It


Next thing is next: Tell people that there is somewhere to put their recyclables. Just idly dropping it in to conversation at the water cooler might get a couple of people to do it, but what would be better, would be to put up some posters. Either make one or buy one, but it should give people some information on why they should be recycling and what happens to their trash when it gets picked up. This will make them feel all warm and fuzzy inside and more likely to get in the habit of recycling.


Get People Involved


The best way to keep people involved is to give them information on what recycling will do for our planet. For example; if you look at the figures for house clearances in London you will see that for every rubbish clearance London sees, this saves countless mounds of plastic from being created every year and saves our planet from being inundated with more unnecessary junk than it can handle.


Next time you are thinking of doing something positive for the environment and want to get your office involved, why not consider starting your very own recycling scheme?

After years of service you have finally arrived at “the place”. “The place” is that object of desire you wanted to achieve after you proved yourself to be a valued employee. You dedicated countless hours, staying countless late nights, hosting countless meetings and entertained countless clients. You did it all. “The place” is also where your fellow colleagues have striven and strained to be. Your superiors, without a doubt, made the right choice by employing you. After all, you were their “go to guy.” And for all your hard labor, they finally granted you a permanent residence in “the place”: the coveted corner office along with a salary to match.

There was only one thing that was missing: happiness.

Happiness? That disappeared years ago when you, with your all-consuming work schedule, missed spending time with your family: i.e., the kids sporting events, interruptions while on vacations, the excessive amount of time spent in traffic – just to get to your coveted corner office. Your countless hours; your slaving away during countless late nights; your hosting countless meetings; your entertaining the countless clients.

But wait! You have just received the memo that your organization is now downsizing due to the collapse in the financial system. You only have one question to ask yourself: Was it all worth it? Will you too be the next casualty of your organization’s “reorganization” and “reprioritization”? The thought of it is fear-provoking. “Employment security” is a concept that no longer occupies your reality.

You soon have an epiphany, however, and discover that there is a “light at the end of the tunnel”. That “light” is the possibility of self employment. Being self employed, you come to realize, is the only true form of independence, not to mention self worth. As you slowly being to embrace the various available opportunities that allow you to be gainfully self-established, the desire of working from home intensifies. What could be more gratifying than building a secure financial profile from the comfort of your own abode? Or spending more time with your family? Or freeing up your time resources to pursue other activities and dreams which you previously had no time for? You develop a very clear image in your mind: no more incalculable hours spent at the office; no more rush hour traffic; no more adjusting your personality to fit the ‘corporate culture’; no more adherence to somebody else’s agenda. Just having meaningful time with your loved ones finalizes your decision to want to make the change. You decide to make that change now.

With the help of the internet, you soon discover that there are an extensive number of home based business opportunities available. Through your due diligence and research, you also identify the various industries that fit your interests, talents and personality so that you can feel completely confident that you will reach your financial aspirations. You soon realize that the journey begins with you. Your passage can start right now. And you never forget the most rewarding part about this journey: it can all be accomplished from your home. The best corner office a person can have.
