Luis Suarez: What next for troubled Liverpool striker?

 

Uruguay's talisman has been removed from their World Cup reckoning for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini and Liverpool will be without arguably the Premier League's finest player until November.
Fifa needed to act swiftly and decisively and has done so on an unprecedented scale at a World Cup.
This punishment outstrips the eight-game suspension given to Italy's Mauro Tassotti for breaking Luis Enrique's nose with an elbow against Spain in the 1994 finals.
It is three bites and out for the 27-year-old, who is a world-class player but a character out of control. It is clear that when club and country draw the line it is only a matter of time before Suarez steps over it.
This World Cup here in Brazil has been a celebration of glorious attacking football and open games across this vast, football-mad country.
Suarez entered into the spirit with a magnificent performance and two goals in Uruguay's decisive win against England - only to leave the party in shame for his assault on Chiellini.

                                      7 Reasons You Should Stop Eating Hot Dogs. 

     

Most hot dogs are not organic
It is very difficult to find such hot dogs that are made from organically raised animals and not treated with antibiotics or hormones. Plus they are filled with the nitrites and nitrates.

Avoid eating hot dog during pregnancy
This food is prone to listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium which causes listeriosis. This condition might result in stillbirth, miscarriage, or other serious health problems.

        Why You Should Be Drinking Lemon Water in the Morning.

 Lemon water is a natural diuretic, which means it helps your body flush liquid and toxins along with it. The citric acid can also help maximize enzymes which stimulates the liver.

                                                      Healthy Fear.


Fear. Many people automatically assume that fear in unhealthy and
doesn’t serve a purpose. Hence, the term ‘don’t worry, be happy’ may
not always work in our favor. True, we should all learn not to sweat
the small stuff and let things slide if they are unnecessarily causing us
harm, physically, emotionally or spiritually. But learning to
differentiate between healthy fear and unhealthy fear can
benefit us because healthy fear can and will benefit us in the
long run.

In Buddhism, it is actually taught that we should try to ignore or
eliminate unhealthy fear and embrace healthy fear.
An example of unhealthy fear is a fear of lizards and insects. The fear
is real although the danger is not. We get squeamish and avoid bugs
and insects because we fear them. But bugs and insects don’t hurt us,
they cannot. Hence, the fear is unfounded. An example of healthy fear
is a fear of cancer or death. We all know that cancer and death are
real. Most of us have to agree that we are afraid to die especially from
an incurable disease like cancer. The fear is termed healthy fear
because it may help us quit smoking or taking drugs. The healthy fear
can steer us in the right direction because we’re afraid of getting
cancer or a deadly disease like AIDS.

You will be surprised; many people have different types of fears. The
most common ones are insects and death, the ones we’ve used in the
paragraphs above. But there are people who have profound fear of
heights, fear of being separated from their loved ones, fear of losing
control of their lives, fear of driving, fear of the dark, etc.
The fears are real or as real as it can be for the person experiencing it.
But the fears can be snuffed out. We can control it or reduce the effect
it has on us. Using mind control, we can eliminate the control it has
over our actions and daily decisions. We should eliminate all
unhealthy fears (as many of them as possible) and control or make
use of our healthy fears.
In understanding and recognizing the healthy fears we have in our
lives, we will need to learn how to make use of the healthy fears or do

something positive about it. For example, if someone is afraid of
dying of cancer because he smokes heavily, there’s no point of him
knowing that he should do something about it and not do anything.
He must make an effort to recognize the fear and then use it to stop
his smoking habits.
There are many ways in which we can learn how to control our fears
or utilize them. For one, we can take up Yoga to learn how to calm our
inner self down. We can learn how to have more self-confidence. We
can start journal writing to put our thoughts into words, turning our
thoughts into words can be extremely helpful. We can also join
support groups or gather with a bunch of friends to relate our
experiences, fears and sadness – it will help connect all participants
and we can lend a helping hand to each other. Connecting with others
who have the same fears can be so helpful because you will finally
understand that you’re not alone. Support is always only a phone call
away.

                           Cure Your Fears Of Change.

Usually people are afraid of bad changes, things that affect their
existence in a negative way. The question arising is how to cure our
fears of change?
The most important thing is to understand that life is always made
from ups and downs and nobody can be in a permanent ascending
trend, simply because that is impossible. Even the most envied stars
experience the downs life has to offer, so nobody can avoid them.
However, the most important thing is not how to avoid changes, fears
and bad experiences, but how to learn from them. It is crucial not
to let problems overwhelm you, but to know how to use them in
your favor.
There is no doubt that problems affect us, which is actually normal,due to the fact that we have feelings, but, nevertheless, every singlehard moment of our lives should make us even stronger. That is whyspecialists suggest that you should always analyze and meditate onthe worse situation you had to deal with, in the course of your life. Try
to learn from your mistakes, because they will help you be prepared
for the changes or less pleasant situations to come.
There are many ancient beliefs that consider that every single episode
of our lives happens with a pre-determined reason. They also think
that life, somehow prepares us for certain events to come, so if we
focus enough attention on our previous experiences, we will
understand many things from the present.

With all that, it is also true that the unexpected can happen anytime.
However, you should keep in mind that a change in not always for the
worse and consequently, you must never let go of a chance,
because you are afraid to take the risk. Remember that, from
time to time, something has to happen in order to free you from
monotony, so you shouldn’t be surprised if, at a certain moment in
time, instead of being afraid of change, you desire it with all your
heart.

If you just don’t feel capable of realizing what a certain change in your
life, actually means, here’s a list of tips that might help you get
mobilized:
•  Try to think only of the positive impacts that will result
after the change. See how important they are and meditate
upon how to multiply them, by adding some other good aspects,
which need certain assistance.
•  It is always good to picture somebody else in your situation, as
picturing ourselves in a less desirable position, always looks
more dramatic than it really is. If you realize that the other
person can handle the change, you can be sure you’ll be able to
handle it as well.
•  Imagine the worse situation that can result after the change.
Now try to find various solutions to it. Meditate on how much
you can loose, if the worst happened, and how important those
things are to you. If you find more than one reasonable
solution, you are safe – the change can’t be stronger
than you are!

                               How To Find Out What You Want From Life.

No matter how young or old you are, you must have gotten to a point
in your life when you have to take a big decision, which will probably
affect your entire existence. There is no doubt that there are certain
moments in life when you feel helpless and disoriented and believe
you could use a hand in order to figure out how to proceed with your
life.

Those particular moments are the very moments when you should
not depend on anybody’s advice, because, even if they gave it to you
with the best intentions, in case anything goes wrong, you’re always
going to blame those persons. That is why specialists strongly advise
you, every time you find yourself at a crossroads, to always take the
decisions by yourself. Obviously, the question arising is: how can we
know how to take it and which is the best solution?

The answer is never going to be simple for some of us. However, thereis a technique that can be of great help and employed regularly willhave great results: it is called meditation and it has been used forcenturies in certain rituals and by ancients civilizations. Even in oldand famous books, like the Bible, for example, we are invited tomeditate, to discover and fight the evil in us and by knowledge to gaincontrol over our decisions and our lives.

How do we proceed when meditating? First of all, we need to be away
from any source of distraction, because we can’t analyze our deepest
feelings and thoughts and watch a movie at the same time. Secondly,
we need to ask ourselves a series of questions that will help us to
better determine who we really are.
The questions should relate to everyday aspects:
•  What do you like doing?
•  What made you most proud of yourself during your entire life?
•  What is it that you always wanted to do and you never found the
time? (you can include here anything from visiting friends, to
going to Antarctica, or seeing your dentist)
•  What role does money play in your life?

•  What is it more important for you, you family life or your
career?
•  How much do you depend on others?
If you are worried about a certain decision, let all the questions be
related to that issue. If you’re just confused in general, when asking
the questions, think about the common topics that one has to deal
with during his life. Don’t forget to write down the answers. Try to
concentrate and to be sincere; after all, nobody will judge you.

All these questions will help you determine exactly where you stand
and what is it that you want form life. All you have to do is to get the
right interpretation of your own replies. In order to do that, help
yourself to a coup of tea or your favorite coffee and take the time to
analyze them thoroughly. Mark with a red pen whatever you find
pride worthy answers and with a black one the things that don’t make
you proud.

Post the list somewhere where you can see it more than once a day, or
post it in more than one place. You’ll notice that, step by step, even
unwillingly, the black things on your list will start turning red. Don’t
forget to renew the list when most of it has turned red! It is the best
way to always be aware what your expectations from life are! Good
luck!

                                  The Body Language.

 When two bodies communicate without using words, the heart has no choice but to gallop like a happy stallion. When souls live secretly and quietly under the influence of some unusual intoxication, what is then left of the body, it has no say.
All it can do is dance to the tune of mortality.
Some say a passion only expressed in words is not complete, love professed without a super great sex, is not different from a rich soup with no one to eat it.
Love making is an art, it is more than thrusting, there is something more to it than meets the eye. When two souls connect physically, they move and dance to the sweet rhythm of nature.

The mystery behind this sweet piece of carnal and mortal fulfillment is more than what words can depict.When the body unites with each other, they are dancing to a melodious music, a music no mortal can resist. Heads begin to spin, like it’s under the authority of alcohol, the eyes remains focused so as not to lose sight of the prize. The more i think of this beauty and gift of life, the faster my heart beats. Only a feel of it can clear all doubt, confusion and mystery.

Sex is so powerful that it has made the mighty to fall flat on their faces, the one with no drop of carnal feeling, or crazy emotion has be flooded with rivers of desire, the holy is no more holy, what used to be sacred is no more sacred, it has been defiled.

Now the stain and stench of carnality is what follows everyone’s trail. Few can hold their head up high; the body is now the sole administrator of hearts and souls.
Was sex created only for the singular purpose of procreation? Or was there anything extra attached to SEX beyond what we were made to believe and know.

WHAT EVER THE CASE, THE FACT REMAINS THAT SEX IS AN ART, NOT AN ACT.

                    30 Ways To Save Your Heart.

  There aren't too many ways to survive a bullet hurtling toward your heart. You could be wearing a Kevlar vest (unlikely), possess bona fide Matrix moves (even more unlikely), or watch in stunned silence as the hand of God reaches down and miraculously plucks the projectile out of the air (not gonna happen unless you're in a Monty Python movie).

But there's an upside to this depressing scenario. Actually, make that two. First, the lethal round you need to worry about moves quite slowly: It's called heart disease. Second, you can count on at least 30 ways to survive it.
We've collected a whole slew of simple, effective strategies for safeguarding your heart health. You don't have to adopt all of these lifesavers, but give each one a try to see if you can stick with it for the long haul. Who knows? You just might dodge a bullet.

PLUS: Heart disease is America'sNo. 1 killer. But know what's real and what's bunk with these 5 Heart-HealthMyths to Stop Believing. 

Work In Some Walnuts

They're the alpha nuts in terms of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fat that fights inflammation, says Larry Santora, M.D., medical director of the Dick Butkus Heart and Vascular Screening Center in Orange, California. Yale researchers report that eating about a half cup of walnut halves a day can improve blood vessel function.

Check Your Pulse

Tomorrow morning, before you fumble to find your slippers, find your pulse. Then log your beats per minute (bpm), says cardio-thoracic surgeon Pierre Theodore, M.D., vice chairman of the medical advisory board at Grand Rounds. Healthy guys should be at or below 70 bpm. If your rate rises higher for a week or more, call your doctor.

Avoid Dirty Air

Inhaling ultrafine pollution particles can thicken the wall of your carotid artery, predisposing you to heart attacks, say University of Washington researchers. Particle levels peak in the early morning in winter, a study in Atmospheric Environment reports, so save outdoor runs or rides for the afternoon.

Be a Bean Counter

Pass on the potatoes and spoon out the legumes. People who ate 1 cup of fiber-rich lentils, beans, or chickpeas a day reduced their systolic blood pressure by 4 mm Hg after three months, according to a study in Archives of Internal Medicine. Add black beans to salads, cook lentils into a curry, or scoop an extra serving of pinto beans into chili.

Come to Grips with BP

As little as four weeks of handgrip training can lower your blood pressure by about 10 percent, a meta-analysis in the Journal of Hypertension reports. The researchers say the exercise creates "shear stress," which improves blood vessel function. Try four two-minute contractions with each hand. Rest for about a minute in between.

Believe in Eggs

Stop thinking that eating eggs raises your LDL (bad) cholesterol. In fact, Brazilian research suggests a link between egg consumption and clearer coronary arteries. One guess is that the yolk's payload of vitamins E, B12, and folate may be the key. Just stop at four eggs a day to limit the calories.

Run the Numbers

Choose an exercise to do weekly--say, a 2-mile run--and just afterward, log your time and your heart rate. Call your doc if you notice major changes--for instance, a heart rate of 185 bpm after a workout that typically takes you to 165 in the same time. That can signal an issue, like clogged arteries or a weakened heart, Dr. Theodore says.

Breathe Deeply

Stop and take a long, slow breath. Better yet, take six breaths in 30 seconds. Doing this can lower your systolic blood pressure by as much as 4 mm Hg within minutes, a study in Hypertension Research found. Some research suggests that if you practice this deep breathing consistently, the pressure-lowering effects can last over time.

Sweat Out Burnout

Don't let your job be the death of you: Work-related exhaustion increases your heart disease risk, a study in Psychosomatic Medicine shows. So hit reset: In a Swiss study, men suffering from burnout slashed their symptoms by up to 57 percent by doing cardio exercise just two or three days a week.

Get Vaccinated

On top of its virus-fighting powers, the flu vaccine nearly halves your risk of heart attack, suggests a study in the journal Heart. That may be because influenza triggers an autoimmune response that battles the virus but also produces inflammation that can clog arteries. Visit flushot.healthmap.org to find vaccination sites in your area.

Hit the Sack. . .

Compared with solid sleepers, insomniacs face a 45 percent increased risk of heart attack, according to a study from Norway. Just 30 minutes of exercise three times a week can boost your sleep. But be patient--the benefits can take months to kick in, say Northwestern University researchers.

. . .but Don't Sleep In

There is such a thing as too much sleep: People who log 10 or more hours a night have an elevated risk of heart disease, according to a study in the journal Sleep. One explanation: Snoozing too much may be linked to weight gain and poor mental health. If you can't keep your z's in the healthy range (seven to nine hours), see your doc.

Avoid Trans Fat

Columbia University scientists say you can significantly reduce your LDL-particle number (a marker of cardio risk) by cutting your trans fat intake by just 1 percent for a year. These fats are being phased out of many products, but they're not gone. For example, they're in butter-flavored Pop Secret popcorn and Land O'Lakes

                                     AN ENCOUNTER WITH DESTINY.




THAT WAS AN ENCOUNTER WITH MR DESTINY

                                The Career Woman. 

 The career woman, her knowledge no doubt, she knows it all so it seems. A master in the field of life, every qualification under the stratosphere of academics she has, her intelligence is so amazing, let her open her mouth and you will be blown away like weed blows away a Rasta man. She is a perfect definition of a woman by the world of professionalism and academics.

In that society she meets every requirement to be called a perfect woman. Hand in hand she rubs shoulders with the male folk, to her it is not a man’s world, rather it is a world you desire to have. In pride and courage she glides through doors, men bow and wow at her presence, she is served, worshipped, feared and approached with care. Her voice resonates through the walls, when she talks they listen; when she is quiet they fear something is wrong. Like a robot, the society consciously moulds a machine of too much perfection, so perfect that she fears herself.

The career woman, a woman of substance, but right there at the other side, in a domain that really doesn’t recognize her status as a career woman. In her home, a place where career cannot run or manage. A place where to get the best from, you must do things yourself and with much time and dedication.

She may be so good and extraordinary in the office, but might not just have a clue of how to manage a home and family. Right there in the home she appears not to be in control, everything just seems to be falling apart. Firstly, there is really not enough quality time to see to things and her brilliance most times gets her carried away, she keeps trying to apply some principles from the unfriendly world of her career in the home where everything is totally different. So crazy but true, she can handle the pressure from work very well, but she just keeps finding it hard to even cope, let alone handle the pressure .

Maybe her mind is divided; her attention is not as free and available as you all think. So perfect and fulfilled outside the home but a total wreck most times in the home. How much time does she have to share, where is the strength after a hard days job, where is the attention, where is the love. So many questions waiting to be answered, there are so many holes to be blocked, because those at home look up to her, they wait and crave for her touch of brilliance. That is the story of most career women; they are just like a bomb waiting to explode into bits.


NOT CAREER WOMAN
At the other side exist another type of woman; she is one of the best managers you can ever have. Her time, attention, love and concentration is never divided, in total commitment and dedication she puts everything in order, like that was what she was born to do. When you need happiness, joy, attention and quality time, she is ever available like air is to man. Very innocent and unassuming, ready to serve you and everyone till the end, her happiness is anchored on the joy and laughter that she sees on your faces. When you need someone to talk to she is there like a microphone in front of a musician. Nothing seems to go wrong in her presence, like perfection she makes everything and everyone look and really feel perfect. To a family and immediate society she is the true definition of a real woman, some call her a “full house wife”, while some call her a “stay at home mum”.

Anything you need she has in abundance, love comes naturally, a genuine attention is a way of life, to her caring and nurturing is all she lives for. In her hands destinies her built, respect is established and harmony reigns supreme. Look no further if you are looking for a great human manager and a home builder. She gives you a cool feeling knowing you have someone like her at home. She is so on point, like point and kill, no detail is ignored. Sometimes you think she is never tired or weak, where she gets her strength is still a puzzle even to herself. Right outside the walls of the home, contrast is the case.

She may not really be what you need, in the world of professionalism and academics she might not be the best, your friends and colleques never see her as what the standard of a wife or woman should be. They ignorantly believe she is not the best for you, considering your status and prestige in the society. Those things or quality that glorifies a woman outside the home may not come with the package. You may just want to hide her inside, letting her live in her own world of perfection. She is so different from the career woman, she does not glow under the glaring eyes of the world, the spot light is not her spot. Her life revolves majorly around her family. Their happiness, joy and fulfilment is what defines her existence.

                     
                          Article Writing Secrets.

 Writing articles to make money. It’s one of
the hottest topics on the internet. And
it’s true, articles are an awesome and easy
way to make money online.
Some folks feel intimidated about the
thought of putting pen to paper, but I’m
going to tell you about some easy ways to
write quality articles. You’ll be cranking
them out in no time.
What good are articles? Well, with them you
can…
•
generate free traffic to your website
(where you’re selling something)
•
send traffic to websites you are
promoting as an affiliate (via your link,
of course!)
•
provide quality content on a basic
adsense site
•
use several of them to quickly create
your own e-books and sell them on their
own mini sites, or even sell resell
rights to these e-books.
Turning Your Articles into
Income
When folks are curled up in bed with your
book, you have some literary license. You
can talk about scenery and feelings and pave
the way for character development.
But when people are reading on the internet,
they’re wanting fast facts. They don’t want
additional fluff. Easy to understand
information. That’s the goal.
When you want to learn something, you want
to learn it as quickly as possible.
Everyone looks for a shortcut so they can
start applying what they’ve learned. That’s
why you want to be brief and to the point in
your articles for the web.
The Fastest And Easiest Way
To Write Great Articles
Now, with as many tip websites as there are
and as many online forums, there’s no need
to come up with all the content off the top
of your head.
Now here’s something vitally important – you
must never take another person’s words for
your article. Not one sentence. Not one
phrase. It’s illegal and can get you
jailed.
But you can certainly learn from their
content and write your own article. Find
three or four articles on your topic, read
them carefully, and write your own article
in your own words based on what you’ve just
learned.
Where To Find Good Info
If I wanted to write an article on
“unschooling”, I’d search Google for
“unschooling forums” or “unschooling
discussion boards”.
All I then do is look for what folks are
talking about, read their responses and use
them to help write my own article.
If you find a great info-product on
Clickbank for gardeners, do a search for
garden forums. See what kinds of questions
folks are asking and write an article to
answer.
You can also find Frequently Asked Questions
at FAQ.org and Groups.google.com.
Remember, you’re keeping your article short
and to the point. Use helpful tips
throughout.
I remember one article I read about
searching for a fitness club. One of the
tips went like this. “In order to find the
best fitness club for you, you must go out
and look for one.”
Well, duh! For crying out loud, that’s
idiotic. Of course you have to look for
one. That’s a piece of totally useless
information.
Steer clear of stating the very obvious.
Give unique, helpful suggestions. That’s
what your readers want.
Writing Your Article Title
Like a headline, this is what gets folks to
decide to read your article or pass it by.
People want articles with helpful tips they
can use immediately. Your title must convey
what you’re offering in your article.
“Reaching Your Goal” – kind of boring
“Making It” – too abstract, this could be a
title for baking cakes or any number of
things
““7 Proven Steps to Reaching Any Goal That
You Can Implement Right Now!”” – much better
You can use personal anecdotes in your
article. These add flavour and help hold
your reader’s interest. People love a story!
Editing Your Article
Any professional writer will tell you how
difficult it is to proof your own work.
Because you know in your head exactly what
the page is supposed to say, it’s easy for
your brain to skip over little errors.
You can read your article aloud to help
check for flow. But also have another pair
of eyes look over your work and see if the
article makes complete sense.
Don’t forget to check for spelling errors.
Too many of these and your article will
likely not be accepted/published.

Articles and Adsense
Adsense is definitely the talk of the town.
It’s been the impetus behind automatic
website generators and portal sites galore.
Right now, many marketers are leaning in the
direction of providing valuable content
(your articles) on their adsense pages.
The thought is, no search engine in their
right mind would ban or delete a valuable
content site. Put your adsense boxes on every page of your
content site.
When it comes to Adsense, you have to think
like your website visitor. What is it they
are looking to buy? Don’t stick something on
your site about “making money with your
gardening passion” because the advertisers
with Adsense are selling garden tools and
equipment, not money making opportunities.
You need to make your content fit into the
Adsense ads for the best results.
Now, write articles! 10, 20, 50 – keep
writing and promoting your content site.
Advertise your website in the resource box.
For example
"For a complete checklist on the best shade
loving plants, visit slp.com"
By following this format, you should make
money from Google Adsense fairly quickly.
Plus you’re building tons of quality content
over time and you will have hundreds of
articles all over the Internet working for
you around the clock! That means your site
will do better in the search engines due to
all the incoming links!
This is one of those money machines that
will make you money on demand pretty much
for the life of the Internet.
Using Articles To Profit From
Affiliate Programs
You don’t even need a website!
To combine articles and affiliate programs,
all you have to do is create a free
autoresponder series, then advertise it
directly with Ezines Articlesbase Hubpage, etc.
Select 3 Affiliate Programs
To make this work and not be a one hit
wonder, you will need to select
THREE
affiliate programs to join. The criteria to
selecting these programs are a little
different than going out and selecting the
affiliate program with the biggest
commission, even though this does play a
role.
Of course, all the affiliate programs you
promote will have to be on the one subject.
For instance, say your first affiliate
program is an ebook on Mini Sites, then your
second affiliate program you sell could be a
members only site based on Mini Sites and
your third affiliate program could be a
service where someone creates a network of
Mini Sites for your customers.
The first affiliate program you promote will
be one which pays a larger than normal
commission on the first sale. Do not accept
anything less than 40% commission for your
first affiliate program. The reason for this
is because we want to make a profit on the
first affiliate program. By selling any
product that does not make you at least $20
per sale, you will not profit straight away.
The main aim of this is to really build up
your Opt-in Mailing list.
If you break even, don't be discouraged.
Breaking even is an amazing result, and if
you have built your list up, then you will
be profiting for years to come.
So for your first affiliate program, choose
a product that sells for around $40 to $50
and where you still get at least 40% of the
total profits.
Your second affiliate program you join will
be in the category of what we call "Residual
Income".
This is an affiliate program that pays you
every month someone stays signed up for the
product or service. For example, if you were
to promote a web hosting company, and they
charged $25 a month, you would get around
$10 a month for as long as that person stays
signed up for web hosting.
These are great programs to promote because
all they require is a little hard work up
front and you're set for months, even years.
That's why I recommend promoting this type
of program once you have a large list of
names to email to.
Of course you will still be promoting your
free course to other people, but this is a
way to make back end sales from your current
list. Don't think if you've advertised to
these people once, that's all they are good
for. It takes some folks several times to
respond to a message, so keep reminding them
of what you have to offer.
You can find a large list of Residual Income
affiliate programs at
LifeTimeCommissions.com
Now your third affiliate program will also
be a program that you will promote to your
current subscriber list. This program should
pay you a large lump sum of money. This type
of program will have a lower conversion
rate, but you should be making $80 to $150
commission per sale.

Create A Free Report Series
Don’t overlook this step! It’s vital to your
affiliate success. I will go as far as
saying that if you create a responsive Opt-
In list, 75% of your work is done for you
already. That goes for anything you're doing
online.
This free report will be promoting the first
affiliate program you chose from step 1. It
should be priced around $40 or $50 and pay
you around $20 to $25 per sale.
Creating your free report is easy. Either
find 5 articles on your subject that you're
allowed to use, or create 5 articles
yourself. They don't have to be long, only
around 500 words. Then send them out to your
prospects over 5 days using your
autoresponder. Make sure these reports are
full of useful information, not just blatant
advertising. You do however get a chance to
advertise to them directly later.
How I create an autoresponder series is by
writing 5 to 10 articles on the topic of my
affiliate program. For instance, if I were
writing a report on search engine ranking, I
would create the following articles.
1. The Tools Of The Search Engine Specialist
2. Meta Data, Yes Or No?
3. How Mini Sites Can Generate Thousands In
Extra Visitors
4. Getting Listed In Yahoo! The Easy Way
5. Creating Keywords Relevant To Your Site
6. Search Engine Ranking On A Budget
7. The Biggest Search Engine Myths
And so on..
One tip I have for writing articles is to
jot down points, and use those points to
build your article. For instance, when
writing "How Mini Sites Can Generate
Thousands In Extra Visitors", I would jot
down points like this.
* Choosing A Domain Name
* Finding Cheap Web Hosting
* Using Keywords Throughout The Web Site
* Submitting To Search Engines
* Tracking Hits
* Doing This All Over Again
I would then write 100 to 200 words per
point and voila! There's your first
article/report for you to use.
Now when sending out your free report with
your autoresponder, it should be set up
something like this.
When the person signs up, they get part 1,
then for the next 4 days they get parts 2,
3, 4 and 5. In these messages, you will get
a chance to advertise to them in the first
and last sections of your message. Here's an
example of an autoresponder message you can
send out.
If writing emails to keep in contact with
your list seems overwhelming, check out the
Instant Niche Email program at
http://www.instantnicheemails.com
With a
little work, you can have a year’s worth of
messages created in less than a day. Plus
you can use the software for as many niches
as you like.
If your prospect hasn't purchased from you
after your free reports have been sent out,
don't worry. The next part is where you will
get most of your sales. Considering there
are so many other affiliates promoting the
same or similar product you are, you have to
make them want to buy from you.
How do you do this? Easy- you overdeliver
by giving them more than what they expected.
I offer them something else if they purchase
from the affiliate program I'm promoting.
For instance, I give away consultation free,
where I help them with any problems they
might have.
Here's an example of using a report to get
readers into the buying mode.
Writing Articles To Generate
A Monthly Viral Income
Here's the idea.
We've all been taught to create free viral
ebooks to either promote our products or
affiliate products and submit them to free
ebook directories. This was sound advice,
but I've found an even better way to make
this work.
Create your own free ebook directory full of
your own free viral ebooks!
Think Clickbank.com but with free ebooks on
all subjects that you own, promoting
affiliate programs 24/7.
People go to this site, download the free
book they want, they pass it around, and
there ya go, automated affiliate income.
But how do you go about creating these free
ebooks so they produce the best sales
possible? I've found by creating an FAQ list
(frequently asked question) on a certain
subject and then converting it into PDF, my
affiliate sales have soared.
I'm not trying to heavily sell them in the
book, they are getting very useful free
information and I then point them to a paid
resource to get more information if they
want to.
I also ask them to pass the book around as
much as they like.
Want an example of an FAQ list? Go here
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/body-
building/hardgainer-faq/
This FAQ list is quite big and detailed.
Your free books only need to be 5 or so
pages long.
Here is an article I wrote on creating a
viral ebook. It really doesn't have much to
do with the business idea in general, but
will give you an idea of what I'm talking
about at least:
“… but if you want more information on
creating Ebooks, You can find it at
http://www.7dayebook.com
. It's a one off fee
for $27 and it comes in Ebook format
ironically enough.”
Now, back to my explanation.
Whether you like it or not, having your own
product gives you more flexibility in your
online advertising AND believe it or not,
compiling an Ebook is no more then a week’s
work part time if done correctly. IF you do
it this way the profits will come in for
life.
I have checks coming in still from work I
did 2 years ago, thanks to the power of
residual income affiliate programs and viral
marketing Ebooks.
Ok, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. What
is a viral marketing Ebook and why should
you create one?
A viral marketing Ebook is a book which sole
purpose is to be spread around the Internet
quickly, by any means possible. It's not
meant to make you money on the front end.
You want other people selling it and giving
it away to as many people as possible.
Why?
Because the inside of that book is full of
affiliate links to other peoples products
and every time someone gives away your book
or sells it, (depending on how you want to
do it) more people will be seeing your
affiliate links, and this is costing you
what? NOTHING? Exactly!
The best examples I could give you of this
process would be by Yanik Silver. He created
2 marketing books that spread over the
Internet like wildfire. He gave everyone who
purchased the book for $19 or $17 (depending
on the book) the rights to sell it or give
it away to their customers.
Needless to say, thousands of people
starting selling it and promoting it all
over the Internet. To this day, he is still
earning good money from that book, plus he
became one of the most well known Internet
Marketers.
So how do you go about creating your own
viral marketing Ebook?
Here are the steps.
1) Come up with a product idea based on your
affiliate program you've already chosen and
are already promoting.
Coming up with ideas isn't hard. For
example, and I know I use this example a
lot, BUT, if you are going to be promoting a
sports betting affiliate program, why not
create a book on becoming a successful
punter. Then throughout the book, you can
recommend your favorite sports betting
affiliate program.
101 Insider Secrets To Sports Betting
How To Bet With Other Peoples Money
A good way to come up with ideas is to look
at what others are already selling and mimic
that. You don’t need to recreate the wheel
here, so PLEASE don't make things harder
than they have to be.
2) Get the tools you need to succeed
You are going to need a few tools here.
A) A domain name
I register all my domain names with
http://www.namecheap.com
for under $9 a
domain name, which to me is pretty darn
cheap. You want a fairly short domain name
that describes the content of your book
fairly well.
Here's an example for you people promoting
sport betting affiliate programs.
http://www.sportsbettingaffiliates.com
http://www.sportsoddbetting.com
http://www.betforfree.com
etc....
B) Webhosting
Let me say first, you get what you pay for.
This has never been more true than with
webhosting. YOU NEED a good reliable
webhosting company with 24/7 technical
support. If your site goes down and you
can't contact anyone to help you get it back
up, you will lose sales and a lot of them.
C) Autoresponder
You will need this so you can contact your
prospects who don't purchase straight away.
This is where you will give away your free
course to entice them to give you their
email address so you can contact them
periodically.
D) Credit card processor
Clickbank.com is your fast and easy answer.
They will let you accept all major credit
cards and start an affiliate program for a
one time setup fee of under $50. They do
take a percentage of every sale, but this is
so much cheaper then getting your own
merchant account.
Just about everyone selling Ebooks online is
using Clickbank and Amazon.
E) Ebook Software
You will more than likely want to create
your book in PDF format so everyone can read
it. (PC and mac users alike)
F) Graphic Design Software
If you are anything like me, your artistic
abilities peaked at age 7. So instead of
busting my hump to create my Ebook covers
and website graphics I use folks who are
more gifted in this area. Check into
various marketing forums for good
recommendations.
3) Outline your book chapters into articles
Writing a whole book in one sitting is hard,
and trying to write a book without outlining
the chapters is nearly impossible. My first
book took me over 6 months, but now most of
my books take me less than a week to finish
and that is with a sales letter and website
up.
All you have to do is think up 12 to 15
article topics in sequence and write about
them. Each page should be around 700 to 1000
words, full of useful information, not
information people could get for free.
4) Write your content
Like I said just before, you need original
content. There are too many books out there
now where people are just regurgitating
information others can get for free and this
lowers the value of your book, which means
less people will pass it around and even
less will read it.
For the best article re-writer program…
Check out
http://www.SecretArticleConverter.com
With this program, you can change Private Label Articles into
usable, unique content.
It’s inexpensive, and it works!
The best way to get a good amount of
original information without writing it
yourself is to interview experts in the
field. For instance, if you were writing a
book about improving your golf handicap, I'm
sure it wouldn't be too hard to find some
local experts who you could grill in person,
over the phone or even via the Internet and
you can then put all that information in the
book. It's also a good selling point.
Also remember when you’re writing what the
point of this book is. The point of the book
is to earn you an on going commission with
affiliate programs, so don't feel like you
can't throw some affiliate links in, because
you can, but make sure it's tactful and in
place.
Another good idea would be to put a
"Subscribe to my newsletter" section in your
book as well, so not only will you make
commissions on sales, but also generate
leads without doing any extra work.
Make sure you clearly state in the front of
the book, that the buyer can sell this book
as his own. State that he has Resell Rights
to the product and can sell it or give it
away if he chooses.
5) Create your sales letter
This is where you will be selling your book
and is critically crucial to your success.
Creating a sales letter takes a lot of work,
especially if you’re new to the whole thing.
The best way is to mimic successful sales
letters.
If for some reason you think you can't do
this by yourself, you have 2 options.
1) Use software that helps put together your
sales letter
and
2) Hire a copywriter
If you want to hire a professional
copywriter, you’re looking at thousands of
dollars, plus royalties from your book
sales.
Remember that you’re selling this book with
reprint rights, which means when they buy
the book they can sell it as well. This is a
huge selling point for you. You will also be
giving them your Ebook cover, website
graphics and sales letter to use to sell
your product.
6) Plug in your free 5 day autoresponder
series
The best way to write your free 5 day course
that your prospects get via your pop up
window is to take chapters out of your book
and put them in as a free teaser.
Remember to emphasize urgency. You want to
make these prospects that don't buy straight
away, feel like they are missing out on an
opportunity of a life time and considering
the low price of the book, if they don't
buy; more than likely they weren't really
interested or were freebie seekers from the
start.
7) Advertise!
Depending on your topic, you will want to
target different people. However, no matter
what topic you’re selling on, there is one
market who will want your book for the sole
purpose of selling it, and that's the
Internet Marketing group.
Your book could be on Hippos but all they
care about is the fact they can sell it as
their own. This is why this type of book
always does well.
The key is to target people in your market
and then the Internet Marketing crowd.
Other Ways To Profit From
Articles
Being an affiliate is a hard enough job at
the best of times, but have you ever tried
to get your article published in a large
ezine publication? It can be a nightmare
sometimes. It's even harder if you try and
work your affiliate link into the article.
Articles are a great way to get free
exposure for your web site and your
affiliate program. Hopefully your web sites
goal will be to get Opt-In email addresses
and you have some sort of free report system
working.
However, I have been testing an idea for
quite awhile now that I think really works
and I guarantee you that you will get your
article published 100% more than you do now.
This works especially well if you're running
an Opt-In mailing list which I recommend you
do.
Ezine publishers receive hundreds of
articles for publishing a week, so why
should they publish yours? You might think
you have the best article ever written, and
you might, but ezine publishers have to make
money too you know. My idea not only will
increase your chances of getting published
but you will also be helping ezine
publishers make more money, which in the
long run they will remember and will be more
receptive to your articles in the future.
Here's the idea.
When you write your article, try and work an
affiliate link into it. Make sure it's in
context and not just a blatant advertisement
as that's why most ezine publishers refuse
to publish affiliate members articles.
As I was saying, write your article and in
that article put a link to an affiliate
program you're promoting in context in your
article. It helps when doing this that you
can say that you honestly use that product
or service. I guarantee you a personal
endorsement in your article will double the
sales you would get with out an endorsement.
The twist here is that the affiliate link
you put in will be changed by the ezine
publisher. You will be letting the ezine
publisher change your affiliate link in your
article so they can earn commissions from
your article and therefore increasing the
chances of getting your article published.
This has never failed for me and I'm sure it
won't fail for you.
So how do you make money from this? Well if
you have your own autoresponder free report
series set up, you can use that in your
article by-line. You would make more sales
from this than from commissions from the
article. Your goal in any affiliate exercise
is to get as many Opt-In email addresses as
possible and as cheaply and quickly as
possible.
Make sure
