Notes From The Editor

Welcome to the latest edition of "Making A Difference"! Here's another great issue for you. So, grab yourself a cool drink, get comfy, and take a look at this month's edition with all the great stuff you've become accustomed to.

It's Time To Show What We Can Do!

I'm late again with this issue, but I have a very good reason. I have been devoting the bulk of my time working on a number of things that will make your efforts far more satisfying, successful and profitable.  

This month, I'd like to give you a quick glimpse into some of the things that I've been working on that could help you greatly in your quest to "Make A Difference" in the world by improving the quality of your life experience and by providing you with information and "tools" that will allow you to help others. If you have a specific need, don't hesitate to let me know about it. I may just be able to provide some assistance. That's what I enjoy doing. So, speak up.

Here's a chance for you to get thousands of dollars worth of products, information, guidance and opportunity at little or no cost:

When I was a child, television had just come out and there was a TV show that I loved watching called "The Millionaire". It was the story of a fictional character named John Beresford Tipton, who was a multi-billionaire who wanted to be able to help good people (that he had never met personally) who had fallen on hard times, for whatever reason, to rebuild their lives. 

The show was all about how he would send his associate, who was named Michael Anthony, to deliver a tax-free cashier's check for one million dollars to the person he had selected to be the recipient and how those people would react to the sudden change of fortune in their lives. 

It was truly fascinating to see how differently the people reacted. Some would be grateful, some would be angry at first - thinking that Michael Anthony was playing a cruel joke on them. The show would go on with how the recipients used their new-found wealth. Sometimes things worked out great. Sometimes they didn't. There was always a "lesson to be learned" from the experience of the recipients and it showed a lot about the complexity of the human psyche.

I always thought that it would be the greatest thing in the world to be able to live the life of a rich man and to use my wealth to help change lives for the better. Unfortunately, my soul had a different plan for me and I never became a billionaire. But, with the development of the Internet and World Wide Web, I am able to help people and so are you. We all have the power at our disposal to truly "make a difference" in the lives of others. We can have very different ideas about how we want to use this power, but it's there for us to use and that is a wonderful thing.

Because of this wonderful technology, I have been able to help quite a few people. But I want to do more - a lot more. And, I can't accomplish everything that I would like by myself. So, if you, like me, feel a stirring in your soul to help others, I'm going to make you an offer that I would like you to seriously consider.

I've been preparing for this for quite a while. Here's the deal. I want to find 50 people who sincerely want to make a difference in the world and have them join me in a grand joint-venture or "partnership". If you are interested, let me know and, if you are selected to be a part of this venture, I will provide you with most of what you need to build a wildly successful home-based business that will put you in a position to spend your time thinking up new ways to bring joy into the lives of everyone you meet without ever having to worry about money again.

You can't "buy" your way in to this group with money. You have to accept my personal invitation to review what we will be doing and how we will work together. Then, if you're interested in being considered for one of the 50 slots, convince me that you are serious and that you will do your best to work with our group so that everyone can benefit and so that, together, we can really "make a difference" on a grand scale. In other words, you have to bring something to the table too if you want to become a part of this "team".

I've spent tens of thousands of dollars over the past few years developing my own quality products, acquiring private label rights and purchasing master resell rights to a huge collection of high-quality content and tools so that I could put myself in a position to help people change their lives for the better. I have e-books, software programs, articles, and more that can be used in an almost unlimited number of ways to help you build a quality Internet business that suits your needs and that is in your particular area of interest.

If you are chosen to become a member of our team, I will provide you with most of what you need to create or obtain your own products and build your Internet business for little or no cost. This will be a very personalized process. You tell me what you need for you to take the next step and I'll tell you what I have available for you. If I don't have what you're looking for, then maybe another of our group will. I expect that no two team members will end up with the same business. Each member will be creating their own unique business and we will be helping each other to develop our personal businesses more effectively and more quickly than would ever be possible on our own.

So, if you think that a "partnership" like this would be of interest to you, read a little more about my proposal by clicking on the link below. Then decide whether you want to take the next step and apply for membership. This very well could be the "break" you've been looking for. Think about what you're really being offered here. Do you really want to "go it alone" when you have the opportunity to have 49 other like-minded people working with you to help you succeed? Or, worse yet, do you really want to be looking back a year from now still wondering how you're going to create your dream business? The opportunity is before you. The choice is yours.

Article 1: How To Position Yourself For Success ...  

How To Position Yourself For Success ...

By Louis Conjar  

As I've been preaching for years, the world we live in is being dramatically changed by a number of factors and no where is that change being felt more directly by most of us than in the workplace. The job marketplace is radically shrinking. In the United States, it's no longer enough to be a good worker if you want to keep your job. We are quickly becoming a "Free Agent" society. 

There were a lot of people hurt as we made the transition from the industrial age to the information age. Jobs were eliminated as computers started being used to perform tasks that previously were done manually. Many people were forced to "start over" by learning new technical skills in order to be able to remain "employable". Often this involved taking severe cuts in pay and starting at the bottom of the salary chain again. 

But, unlike the industrial age, the information age did not stay around for multiple generations. People didn't have the luxury of settling into long-term careers once they had mastered the new skills needed for the new jobs. Technology progressed so rapidly that those skills were quickly out-dated and needed to be continually added to and improved upon in order to stay "current". 

Now, the information age has already been replaced. Today, we find ourselves in the middle of the shift from the information age to the knowledge age. 

In the new knowledge age, corporations continue to downsize - thus eliminating more and more jobs. Soon, even the largest corporations will only contain a small number of employees who comprise the "core" group that is responsible for having the business and industry knowledge that is needed to oversee operations and make strategic decisions. All other work will be performed by project teams directed and headed by the "core group" of employees. The project teams will be comprised of "Free Agents" who are consultants, contractors and other types of temporary workers who only come together for the duration of the project. Once the project is completed, these temporary "teams" are disbanded, leaving only the small core group at the company.

People will need a lot of help keeping their knowledge and skills marketable and they will also need help dealing with all the necessary daily tasks outside of work. They will want to be able to quickly gain access to good information that will help them obtain the knowledge they need to deal with their rapidly changing life and fluctuating income. 

By knowing this, you can position yourself so that you do not have to deal with such changes in the marketplace. You can build an Internet-based home business that will provide these people with the knowledge they need and that will provide you with the financial security you need to maintain the lifestyle of your choice.

There are many great opportunities available to you, but you must educate yourself so that you do not fall prey to the scams and false promises that are thrown your way by the Internet predators whose only goal is to get you to part with your money and who could care less whether you are receiving true value for it in return.

I hope that you know that I will never intentionally steer you wrong. I hope that you see from the free information and products I provide that I truly do want to help you in your quest to gain the wisdom, knowledge and financial resources that will allow you to remain unaffected by whatever unexpected turns the workplace or the economy may take.

If you have not already done so, you must begin to build a solid financial generator that allows you to tap into the global marketplace. You must develop multiple streams of income so that you are not putting yourself at risk should your primary business market take a turn for the worse. If you can do that, then you are placing yourself above the winds of change. I will help you in any way I can - if you will let me. Just stay in touch, continue to read these newsletters, and take the time to review, and take advantage of, some of the opportunities for personal growth and security that are available to you.

Article 2: Starting An Online Business From Scratch - Part 2

Starting An Online Business from Scratch 

(Part 2)

By Erica Sexton and Louis Conjar

One advantage of doing business online is that you can start from scratch without investing a ton of money. Not sure how to begin? In the previous issue of this newsletter, we presented the first 10 steps that would help you get started. If you missed it, just go to the ezine archives section of the website and you can read all about it. Here are the second 10 steps of a 30 Step Action Plan to keep you on course ...

11.  Build an extensive keyword list based on the initial list of keywords you developed. Use Overture.com . For each keyword on the initial list, Overture can help you find different combinations with other words that you may find interesting. Check the popularity of each term and write down on a spreadsheet your final keyword list.

12. Submit those keywords to Overture.com to start driving traffic right away. You need to start driving some traffic immediately in order to test your web site. The best way to do that is to buy this traffic at overture.com.

13. Optimize and submit your web site to organic search engines (Google, Altavista, etc...). Once you have proved that your web site works and sells, you will be ready to make the business bigger. It is then time to start working on building free traffic to your site.

14. Continue to test and tweak your web site until target conversion rate is met. Your conversion ratio should be that 1-2% of your visitors should buy from your web site, and 11% should subscribe to your newsletter. Continue testing until you get those stats.

15. Set up an affiliate program on your web site. Affiliate programs can double your business with no additional effort. Others will make the job easier for you. But you cannot set up an affiliate program before you are sure that your web site can produce results. If your site does not work, you will lose your affiliates and they will never come back to you again.

16. Approach complimentary web sites to sign up as affiliates to promote your product. Get in contact with people that can promote your product and ask them to be your affiliates. Just try to find your first 100 affiliates, and your affiliate list will boom alone.

17. Start publishing a quality monthly newsletter. You have started collecting e-mail addresses much earlier, but it is not the time to start working the newsletter until you can prove that everything else works.

18. Submit articles to related newsletters and e-zines on a regular basis. In the articles, you should always include a link to your site, so that you can gain more name recognition, get more traffic and can get more people signing up for your newsletter.

If you don't have the time to do a lot of writing, or if you think that your writing is not "polished" enough, you can obtain very good "private label" articles that you simply make a few modifications to in order to make them uniquely yours and your problem is solved. If you are interested in going this route, send an email to lconjar@conjar.com requesting further information and I'll tell you what is available in your particular niche and how you can obtain them at the best possible price.

19. Continue the development of a content rich web site to further increase search engine rankings. Search engines love content. You must have many web sites which are rich on your keywords and which have links to your main page. A good way to do this is to add as many articles as you can related to your business and link them to your home page.

As we stated in step 18 above, there are excellent "private label" articles available that will fit nicely with your web site theme. There are also powerful software programs available to assist you with creating your article pages and submitting them to search engines. Just send an email to lconjar@conjar.com requesting further information and I'll let you know all about it.

20. Once keywords have been tested in Overture, roll them out in Google Adwords. It works similar to Overture, you bid for traffic. But do not go to Google Adwords first. You must first prove your success with Overture and then go to Google Adwords. There are a lot of good ebooks available to help you learn how to maximize your Google advertising activities. 

You can get a free report on how to be successful with Google Adwords by downloading it from the "Free Product of the Month" section below.

Note: Google also has an Adsense program that can allow you to generate additional traffic and actually make money simply by placing a little extra code in your existing content-rich web pages. I'll explain much more about this in future issues of this newsletter.

Watch for Part 3 next month. If you want some help in identifying YOUR perfect business and in putting your dream into motion, I urge you to check out Electronic Dreams and begin to see what is possible.

Article 3: Motivation's Effect on Mental & Physical Health


Many studies have been done to research the effects of motivation and mental health. As the implications of helping those with negative self-esteem, depression and anxiety are immense, this is certainly an area of research that deserves a great deal of attention. 

Psychology Online reports on a study investigating the differences between INTERNAL and EXTERNAL MOTIVATION. The report states that "Although our society is largely extrinsically-motivated by external rewards such as money, fame and power, research has indicated those who are intrinsically-motivated by inner desires for creativity, fulfillment and inner satisfaction are psychologically healthier and happier." 

How can this help you? 

The study of health psychology seeks to understand how our ability to cope with stress can help us to prevent illness and promote health. Some of these coping mechanisms are naturally inborn, but may be taught to those who lack them. Motivation is one of the tools that researchers are trying to use as a combatant of negative stress reactions. 

Motivation is something that we use every day. It's what enables us to survive - to get food because we're hungry, to go to work to pay the bills or to educate ourselves in order to pursue a higher goal in life. 

How we respond to life's demands can affect our overall health. How are you classified? 

The same report on Psychology Online identified those who respond to life with negativity or anxiety as most likely to deal with the physical affects of anger, guilt, nervousness, frustration and fear. These emotions can cause hypertension and high blood pressure which can lead to heart attack or stroke. Other complications include ulcers, arthritis, asthma and kidney disease. 

Some therapists suggest that by using positive self-talk and trying to restructure the WAY we look at events can offset the physical and mental effects of dealing with negative or stressful events in life. 

Interestingly, people who tend to focus on themselves as the controller of their fate - in fact 'self-motivated' - are more likely to feel a sense of control when stressors affect them. Instead of blaming something or someone else they have the motivation to deal with a problem and look for a reasonable solution. This positive behavior helps them to achieve goals and find personal contentment. 

Therapists try to teach patients how to emulate this positive reaction to stress and use their motivation as a source of empowerment. Learning to manage stress and using motivation to set goals, work through a problem or fix it can in turn promote better mental and physical health.
 

 

Free Product of the Month

This month, I've got 2 more fine products for you. One is a nice little report on how to get started with Google Adwords (as discussed above) and the other is an e-book on Speed Reading which can help you to more quickly go through all the material you would like to read but can't seem to find the time for. 

Speed Reading is a skill that can reap big dividends for you in so many ways that I wanted to give you a copy of the draft. This is actually an example of some of the "raw" private-label content I was talking about when discussing articles above. I purchased it as you see it here. Once I refine it and add my "personal touch", I will be offering this product on my  Personal-Liberty.com web site. But, you get to see it and benefit from the principles and techniques in it before it is ready for publication! Enjoy.  As always, these products are free to you as a subscriber to the Making A Difference newsletter. 

  

 

To download, Right-Click on the pictures above and select "Save Target As:" to download your free copies to your desktop or hard drive. 

 

This Month's Surprising Value

Encore presentation regarding information on what tools you really must have if you want to build a successful web-based business. It's too important to your success for me to not mention it again.

Here are the facts - plain and simple. If you are serious about building a real business that actually produces a steady income, there are a number of things that you absolutely, positively must have. Here they are:

The Top 4 Tools that you cannot do without ...

1. A Secure Shopping Cart System. This allows your customers to buy as many items as they want with a single transaction - or make single purchases - without ever exiting your website. A top-notch shopping cart system makes it easy for your customers to find what they want and buy it without fear. The bad news was, until now, you would have to pay $25 to $40 per month just for this one service. Trust me, that's what I've been paying - until now.

2. A Quality Ad-Tracking System. Although most web hosting services provide some tracking stats for you, they hardly ever come close to what you need to know for sure which ads you're running are effective and which aren't. Ad-Tracking systems that really provide valuable information that can help you increase your ROI (Return on Investment) typically cost around $20 to $30 a month. At least they did - until now. I got tired of paying that every month, so I've done something about it - and you can benefit from my actions.

3. An Effective and Powerful Affiliate Management System. If you're serious about selling your products and services in quantities great enough to generate the income you need, then you must have your own affiliate program so that you can recruit people who will help you sell if you give them a decent "cut of the profits". I was paying over $40 a month for this service - until now. 

4. A Professional Auto-Responder System. Again, although most hosting services include some auto-responder capabilities as part of your standard service, most are no where near as powerful as what you need if you're going to run a truly professional business system. More complete auto-responder services are available that can run anywhere from $10 to $25 a month or more. I'm still paying that, but won't be once I get everything transferred to my new system. 

Until now, I've been paying well over $100 every month for these services because I want a professional operation. But, since I also like to do things cost effectively, I decided it was time to take some action to reduce these monthly costs - especially since I have so many other projects in the works that will require these same critical tools. 

So, I did it. Yep. I contacted a friend of mine (who I also met on the Internet) and worked with him to put together a system that would not only satisfy my personal long-term needs in these 4 critical areas, but that I could also offer to my clients and customers in order to save them a ton of money. 

The result is a new web service that I'm offering and you can find out all about it by visiting: 

http://www.quantum-ecommerce.com 

You will not believe what you get for a mere fraction of what I've been paying monthly or that you may already be paying yourself. Take a look and begin to upgrade your business operation while saving money that I'm sure you could find a better use for.

Here's that address again:

Here for Your Success,

Louis

P.S. - See - I told you "I heard you" and I'm doing my best to deliver!

Well, that's all for now. See you next month,

Louis Conjar
