What are Google Gadgets, where can they be obtained, which are the advantages and disadvantages of using them? I consider those legitimate questions and I am answering with a post. Mary thanks for asking.

Gadgets are simple HTML and JavaScript applications that can be embedded directly in your Desktop, Sitebar or you can use Gadgets to make your web pages more interesting and useful to your visitors. They are important because nowadays we are more visual oriented, lecturing is out even in schools.

We have the following categories of Gadgets:

• Featured
• Desktop or SiteBar
• Website

A different classification divides Gadgets in:

• Gadgets created by Google
• Gadgets powered by Google, they are miniature objects made by Google users that offer cool and dynamic content that can be placed on any page on the web 

In general first 2 types of Gadgets are created by Google and type 3 is a directory of Gadgets powered by Google, but it is not in stone, and don’t forget each day more Gadgets can be added to the directory, creating rules on a such dynamic field is not working.

With Gadgets created by Google you have full confidence to use them, they are safe.
The Gadgets created by users are increasingly juicy targets for hackers, you can use them but I admit it is a risk you take.

The Google Gadgets are FREE, go to:   http://desktop.google.com/

from where you can install Google Desktop. During installation you must chose:

• Desktop search
• Sidebar with gadgets

Google Desktop search help you:

• To search “your computer” as easily as you search the web with Google, find and launch applications and files with just a few keystrokes
• Gives you up-to-the-minute information through interactive mini-applications that can be placed anywhere on your desktop or on your iGoogle page to show you new email, weather, photos and personalized news
• Provides for you full text search over your email, photos, music, files, chats, web pages that you have viewed, and more

When you do a Desktop search, you’ll go to a page showing you the most relevant search results, each of which include: the file name, and a brief snippet with your search terms highlighted.
The fastest way to search the web, and your own computer, is to use the Quick Search Box in the center of your desktop, you must press the “Ctrl” button twice to call up the search box, and press “Ctrl” twice again to hide it.

Also you can:

• Filter for a particular type of item, using the links at the top of the page
• Type just a few letters or words into the search box and your get instantly the results
• Use it to launch applications without having to surf the Start menu; for example, you can launch Open Office by typing “ope” into the Quick Search Box and selecting “Open Office” in the list of results that appears
• Finding Deleted Files, Google Desktop creates cached copies of your files each time you view them, and stores these copies on your computer’s hard drive. You can often use Desktop to find items you accidentally deleted
• Use Advanced Search Form, you can easily specify the type of search you want to do without having to remember specific search operators, or restrict what time period your results are from
  Outlook Integration. Google Desktop makes searching your Outlook email more convenient by adding a toolbar into Outlook. You open Outlook and type a request into the search box. Outlook will display the search results. Each result also shows a message snippet containing your search terms. You can sort the result list by clicking on its column headers and can jump to locations in the list by typing a letter. The Outlook Integration make Outlook more friendly.

Google Desktop search really is a handy tool.

First you install it, and Google Desktop starts indexing the email, files and web history stored on your computer. This is one time process and indexing occurs only when your computer is idle for more than 30 seconds, so it shouldn’t slow down your machine’s performance, but the duration depends on the number of items you have.

After installation is the Google Desktop job to make sure your index stays up to date based on your daily activity.

Google Gadgets on Sidebar
Sidebar is a vertical bar on your desktop that helps you keep your gadgets organized, it is as a control panel for your gadget. The sidebar gadgets let you:

• Add Google Gadgets to customize your desktop: iGoogle, get news, weather and more
• Add Gadgets Interface

To find new gadgets, click on the “+” button at the top of your sidebar or select “Add gadgets” from the option menu, now you can view gadgets by category by clicking on the left menu or search for specific gadgets by using the search box in the top right. If you find the gadget you want, just mouse over it and click the “Add” button.
 
Note:
If you’d rather not have a sidebar, you can:

• Minimize it into either a deskbar, keeping small search box right in your Windows taskbar or use a floating deskbar which includes a search box that floats above all other windows and can be dragged anywhere you want on your desktop. This is so cool, just try it.
• Both options allow you to quickly launch applications or search your computer and the web.

Examples of Google Desktop Gadgets, last time I looked over I found out 49,613 of them :
Weather Globe, a huge variety of Clocks, Media Player Remote,, Games, Music Player, Wikipedia Search, TV Set, Gmail Notifier, Count Down Timer, On-line Dictionary, eBay Auction Watch, Laptop Check, Facebook Gadget, Vista Game Gadget, BBC News, Stock Market Tracker, Universal Currency Convector, Temperature Convector, Technology News, Google Video,  Virus Alert and  so on.

Google Gadgets on Website.
You can put Gadgets directly on any pages of your websites, to download some of them you go to a Google directory where you will find over 48,000 Gadgets:
http://www.google.com/ig/directory?synd=open

Examples:
Map, Weather Forecast, Clock and Date, Search you Tube, The Weather Channel, Watch: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC Shown On-line,  ESPN Tabbed Sports Feeds, Midi Music Jukebox, Search eBay, Driving Directions, Pablo Picasso Art Of The Day, Travel National Geographic, Bible Verset Of The Day, Dayly Horoscopes and so on.

Those are Gadgets powered by Google, created  by Google users like you and me, they  offer a dynamic content that can be placed on any page on the web.

There is an overlap between Google Gadgets and Gadgets powered by Google, to find out which you are dealing with, you click on the name on the top of the Gadget mini-picture and you will get a small description from where you find out who created the Gadget.

In summary, you really can reach millions of users, as  you can make your gadgets to run on multiple:

• Web pages
• Blogs, and
• Products like: iGoogle, Google Maps, Orkut and so on

This is the reason people use gadgets, it is a way to drive free traffic, and provide useful content in the process. This is the bottom line, many gadgets are viewed millions of times daily bases and can generate significant traffic for you.

I give you my example. When I just started my new blog, the one you are reading now, I posted 3 posts and I wasn’t ranked in Alexa yet.  One day I added a Twitter Gadget and Twitter Counter, and I was ranked for the fist time as 6,240,555. I continue adding posts, gadgets and plug-ins, and my rank in Alexa jump to 3,552,997 and now after 3 weeks it is 2,055,586.  It is not  the best rank possible, it is a modest improvement but for a three weeks old blog, I am happy about it.

If you want to create a  Gadgets, is not as complicated as you may think, just go to:
http://www.seoish.com/how-to-make-google-gadgets/

and you will find out step-by-step information about it.

Until next time all the best for you

• Arbitrage Conspiracy (4)

Hi! Valentin,
Welcome to my blog. I respond with a post, it is too much to write on comment, and other people can read as well.

Sorry, you do work a little backwards.

First:
You have to start with a Blog. Create your Blog with WordPress but in your own domain, not as a subpage of WordPress domain.
You already have a domain, valentinmarketing, it is empty, and you can use it for a blog.

To be easy for you to build a blog, you need a host that gives you a cPanel which has Fantastico. This is a utility not all hosts have.
If you need the right hosting, I recommend Host Gator (this is what I am using):
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/HostG

From Host Gator take baby crock plan, is in not expensive and is enough for the beginning, you can upgrade later if you need, the first 1-2 years you will be just fine.
You can move your existing domain on Host Gator, they have a great support and they can help.

If you have cPanel with Fantastico, to create a Blog is just a matter of a couple of clicks and fill in screens info, choose a theme (a FREE one), and you will create your first Blog, in 5-10 min.
How to do it?

• Get on cPanel and click on Fantastico icon
• In the left menu, click on the WordPress
• Click on New Installation
• Now you have a screen to fill in, choose the right domain, if you have many, and let “Install in Directory” blank,  fill in the rest of requested info

At this point you have a Blog with WordPress on your domain, but with a default WordPress theme. Now you have to choose a theme:

• Browse WordPress theme directory, choose a free one
• Download the Theme, and unzip the file
• Go to FTP and  upload the unzip folder on  …/wp-content/themes folder of  your domain
• Go back to WordPress admin, click on Design
• Choose Theme button, and click the theme you loaded

This is it, entire process is max. 10 minutes, but you need a cPanel with Fantastico on it.

Now start to add content to your blog, put an opt-in list on a site bar, but give the people a reason to sign in (give away a free digital product: report, eBook etc), and start to build credibility for your self.

Of course you need an autoresponder, I recommend aweber:
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/aweber
 
But I presume you already have one, because you already have a squeeze page with an opt-in list on it. Aweber is the best autoresponder.

This must be the first step, you create trust and respect and a list in the same time and you start the process of pre-selling your future product(s) on the blog.

The truth of the matter is you can choose the trial and error method, but you will spend a lot of time until you will realize that the people don’t buy from a person they don’t know and trust.

This is way we do pre-sell first to warm up potential customers from the list.

Second:
You have to work a little more on your squeeze page, give benefits not features, create a landing page as well, and use the autoresponder to set up the automatic procedure of delivering your product.
At this point I presume you already have a product to sell, if you don’t you create one.

Third:
Only now drive traffic to your squeeze page using: your Blog, Articles, Forums, Squidoo lenses, HubPages, Stumbleupon, digg, Twitter, you name it, use as many Web 2.0 Applications as you can.
This is a huge subject in itself; the products I am working on now will be a good guide for driving traffic.

All I told you up till now is not expensive:

• You need a domain – but you already have one 
• You need a host with Fantastico, if you don’t have one, you can buy a baby crock on Host Gator and move your domain on that host
• You create your own blog, not outsourcing at this point.

However there are some rules to cover before you get going:

• Start setting up your goals, you want to sell one digital product on Internet or you want to build an on-line business that will be with you years to come. If you want an on-line business you have to start doing some thinking up front, and take the right decisions from the start
• Learn the online business from the right people, this is really hard for beginners in this information overload era 
• From the beginning learn and do a lot yourself, it is cheaper and later when you will outsource work you will know what to request from others
• Take action and be consistent with your work
• Build trust, honorable relationship with the people from your list; consider from the start that they will be your future business partners. Some members from the list will buy some products from you, but they can be affiliates, join venture partners, a huge potential for business trends and ideas for your business
• Be patience and never give up. If a niche you are working on now is not a success story, you are not married with the niche, you jump on the next one, and some point in time you will succeed. It is important not to consider a failure as a waist of time because you learn a lot in the process. Actually we learn more from failures then we learn from successes, it is our human nature, we have the tendency to take the success from granted. Some good Internet marketers will tell you – the sooner you fail the sooner you succeed!

My recommendation for quality FREE training is Eric’s tips:
http://www.ericstips.com
He has a free course of 100 lessons, he is now at lesson #27, it is still possible to fill in the gap, and continue to listen to his Videos which are remarkable.

If you consider that you learn from my answer to your question, get on side bar, sign in and I’ll keep you posted with my work.

Until next time all the best
Michaela

I already discussed with you my disappointment about eBay banning Digital Products. Since March 2008, all of us have shrived to come out with new ideas,  loopholes, and we have been experimenting hoping to find out the perfect idea.

In this effort John Thornhill from “PlanetSMS” emerges as a clear cut winner!

What about turning your eBooks into physical books?

If the thought has never crossed your mind you should look at multiple advantages of converting your eBooks to physical books:

• You gain more credibility. Yes, as a book author you instantly gain more credibility as you are seen as an expert.
• You get more exposure. Your book can be seen on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, you cannot get better than that.
• You have another product to sell on eBay. With the current eBay rules you cannot sell eBooks as digitally delivered items but you can sell them as physical products.
• You can do this for your own product or for and PLRs which is sitting and waiting on your hard drive
• You have another way to generate traffic and affiliate income. You can add links and affiliate links in your physical book, just as you would in your eBook.
• You have another autopilot source of income as John’s system is 100% automated

If you think that is hard to create a physical book, and publishing it is even harder, think again.

John has created a video series showing you how you can turn an eBook you have rights to into a book in under an hour. This is amazing, isn’t it?

And John figured a way to sell via online bookstores such as Amazon, this is really the worlds biggest online book store, you face an enormous exposure, you cannot get better then being an author on Amazon.

And the beauty is, when a book is sold they are printed and distributed automatically.

Trust me, you will be very busy to spend money an automated system produces for you.
Good luck to you, and read to find out more:

Hello!  I just want to share my observations about traffic with you.

I have a couple of websites, blogs, squidoo lenses, hubs and so on, and like everybody else I try hard to drive traffic to them.

Because the Internet trends, patterns, Web 2.0 applications, engine algorithms are changing so rapidly, we cannot relay on 2-year ago info.

I need to know what is working NOW, and what I have to change from my old patterns.

For websites.

I have started a habit to find out info about my traffic . I spend 10-15 min per day looking to the statistics on my cPanel. 
When I was looking for a host for me, I chose HostGator as they had Fantastico utility. It was an excellent choice. In addition to Fantastico, they have a big variety of other utilities, tutorials, statistics tools and an excellent live support.

You will be surprised how much you can learn just looking at the statistics.

Example:
If somebody asks me what page on my main website attracts the largest number of visitors, I couldn’t guess, as it is:

• The most simplistic page possible
• The page contains only 2 pictures and 4 links
• I created the page as a practice for a script I bought one  and a half year ago
• It has never been updated since creation and
• I almost forgot about it.

This is it:
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/MyVideos.html

It is true that the 2 links are for sites which are collections of videos I created with the script:

• One is collecting all the videos created for eBay
• The other is collecting all the videos created for Studio Art Glass

It is also true that:

• My Squidoo lens for Art Glass S. Fellerman is ranked #552 in Alexa (last time I checked) as squidoo is ranked #552
• My eBay auction site is not ranked at all in Alexa and Google (this is the other mystery of Google search engine algorithms) 

But MyVideo.html page produces the most traffic possible and NOW I know WHY!

It is because it has 2 links to pages that are collections of videos which are dynamically allocated, each time a new Video is added or deleted. But don’t forget my page ( MyVideo.html)  hasn’t changed in one year and a half, and continues to inherit the visibility, the traffic from the video collection sites.

Isn’t this intriguing and useful to know? This is actually the proof that the backlinks to pages with high volume of traffic can benefit you for your own ranking.

And I found this looking at my statistics in cPanel.

For lenses, hubs, twitter etc.
For Web 2.0 applications are easier to determine if you have good traffic or not, as you can see the participation of other people.

Example – you can see that one twitter has 2,000 followers and the other has just 200, or a lens is ranked well and has a lot of comments whereas others are not, and so on. 

For Web 2.0 applications you also have a lot of widgets which are dynamically allocated, and now you can use some widgets in websites as well.

Note: I think I am an affiliate for the script creating a site that collects all the existing videos created for a specific key. I never used that affiliation; I will look it over, and let you know.

As always, you are welcome to leave your comments here on the blog.

Until next time, all the best
Michaela

Resell rights means you bought a given good or service, and you are able to resell it at a profit.

Resell Rights essentials

There are a few basic things to must know about the different types of resell rights, and how they work.
Under the generic name of “Resell Rights” you will find 4 types:

• Resell Rights
• Master Resell Rights
• Private Resell Rights
• Rebranding

Type 1: Basic Resell Rights have to do with being able to buy a product and sell it. Generally speaking, there are restrictions on how you can brand the product, as well as a suggestion about the amount you can charge for the product, but is just a suggestion, the last word is yours.

Type 2: Master Resell Rights have all the privileges of basic resell rights, but also create the right for your customers to resell the product as well.

Type 3: Private Label Resell Rights means that the name of the original author is intact, and the product is still recognizable as being an original, a private label  arrangement allows you to customize the product.

Type 4: Rebranding is  the most popular form of resell rights, you acquire an existing product and repackage it under your own brand name.

Note: When you see an ad about Resell Rights, read carefully the license, each author creates his own list of DO and DON’T rules for his Resell Rights license.

You can find Resell Rights Products or you can create your own. You can fail at the first try or you can create a recurring income that can vary between a couple of hundreds and 5 digits amount per month.

The real advantages of being successful selling Digital Products vs physical products are:

• No inventory, space to deposit the products
• The entire process can be 100% automated
• Create a recurring source of income, which will continue to produce money when you sleep, go in vacation, take a break for your family needs

How to Find Resell Rights Products

You probably heard that a good salesperson can sell anything, this is partially true. Usually has to be some degree of love affair between the seller and the product in order to be successful. Find the right products to market, you cannot do a perfect job to advertise a product you hate or you know nothing about it.
The following steps are the key of your success:

• Go after what you know, pursue a hobby, a skill
• Look for something that is not already done to death
• Search the balance between the popularity and the competition
• Don’t jump and commit in a hurry, research first, commit later
• Go to your favorite search engine and type in “your topic” + “resell rights”. You’ll end up with a list of sites selling rights to products related to your subject
• I suggest ClickBank as a major source of Digital Products, and I suggest to buy and use the product, this way you know enough about it and is easy to be enthusiastic about the product

How to Create Your Own Resell Rights Products

You may be able to create your own product and then engage a number of affiliates (resellers) to handle the marketing and sales efforts for you. 

Things to consider for your own resell rights product:

• Keep it simple, the more focused the product, the better your chances of success
• Make the resell strategy as simple as possible, create the terms of the right to resell that are clear and will not be subject to interpretation
• Consider a variety of digital products as the core of your product line: software, ebooks, videos, eCourses, interviews, webinars, audios, reviews, resources and so on
• Include a complete package with materials for your customers to be able to resell your product: landing page, graphics, resell rights license, emails, signatures,  post on blog, articles, and the product itself

If you are a beginner Affiliate Marketer it is up to you to educate yourself or just try “trial and error”.

For a true beginner I recommend an eCourse about selling Digital Products with Resell Rights, that will clarify the necessary details of entire process and will save you hours and days of hard work:

http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/RReCourse

When I started I use “trial and error” and it was hard, time consuming, and even frustrating.  

As always, you are welcome to leave your comments here on the blog.

Untill next time, all the best

You will find info about selling digital products on eBay using Classified Ads, Blogging, drive traffic to Blogs, making money with blogs, learn to use a group training provide by an effective Forum, search engine loophole for MSN

3. Classified Ads for Selling Digital Products on eBay.

You probably know that eBay banned Digital Products with instant delivery and the Classified Ads was the single solution offered by eBay.
We want change, don’t we? Well, eBay gave us changes we barely can keep up with. The ban itself made eBay sellers angry some got out of eBay without to look back. eBay never pay attention to Classified Ads and all of a sudden they did a lot of changes to the rules of Classified ads. So many changes occurred in 4-5 month, all of us were confused with both: Digital Products and Classified Ads on eBay.
I waited to see when the eBay’s frenzy of changing rules settles down.

It is not a 100% grantee that the rules will stay as there are today, but at list they look stable and reasonable and I decided to start commenting them again.

Using Classified ads to indirectly sell Digital Product is a good solution as Classified Ads are:

• One of the quickest ways to build a list
• They are working for affiliate marketers and bum marketers for promoting other people’s products and earn great commission
• The new rules for Classified Ads are very easy to implement, if you are able to create a regular eBay listing then you can create a Classified Ad listing as well.

If you are looking for a step-by-step guide to start selling Digital Products on eBay using Classified Ads, look no further than Tracey’s “Auction Classified Cash 3”.
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/ClassAd
 
I give Tracey’s my highest level of endorsement and if you really want a step-by-step guide, easy to follow, you MUST grab your hands on Auction Classified Ads .

Talking about eBay, I also suggest David Guidon’s Hot Item Finder v 2:

http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/HotItemFinder

This software will help you find items you can sell on eBay, what eBay customers are searching for.

4. Blogging and making money with Blogs.
There are a lot of digital products about Blogs, I’ll give you two examples I like and work with:

Alvin Phang’s Atomic Blogging v 2, that is referring to a new generation of blogs, it is highly recommended for beginners: 
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/ABVideo 

Atomic Blogging is a great guide for people who just started blogging and want:

• To get lot of traffic to it using Web 2.0
• Get your Blog indexed and bookmarked by the major sites and
• Drive massive targeted traffic, the unique type of traffic which will transform potential customers in buyers.

It really is a great step-by-step guide for people who seek to learn and profit from their own blogs, making good money from there Blogs.  I am not talking about 1-2 hundreds from Google AdSense, I am talking about at least 5-figure income per month from Affiliate Marketing.

Rob Benwell’s Blogging to the Bank 3:
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/BlogBank

I got Rob’s first version of Blogging to the Bank and I effectively used it. When V 2 came along, I considered that the amount of improvements wasn’t big and substantial enough to justify a new edition. But I discovered after I bought v 2, it is so much hype on landing pages, it is really hard to decide what is real.

Blogging to the Bank 3.0 is the best, it is my new step-by-step roadmap I start to use now and I am happy about the fact that is using Web 2.0, and I know it will bring money for me for years to come.

5. Lee McIntyre’s Standing Start Profit
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/LeeSSP

This is a membership site, if you really want the friendliest and knowledgeable people on earth, to help you all along, you must be part of Lee’s Forum on Standing Start Profit.

People are learning on different ways, if you are comfortable on group learning I highly recommend Standing Start Profit

6. The Ultimate Search Engine Loophole by Dave Kelly and Chris Rempel.
This is an advanced topic; you can learn how to get Rank #1 on MSN.

I don’t want to repeat content, I create a review on my review Blog, and you can read it there:

This will be probably a subject we are going to live with for a while! I really believe, that we the people, can pull it through but, in our economy, nothing is going to happen over night.

Being an Internet Marketer, I think as a marketer, and try to analyze the patterns to make events work to our advantage.

Some topics on Internet Marketing are fashionable, we talk about them and after a while we forget about them because new topics emerge as new winners and grab our attention.

“Multiple Streams of Income” was a legitimate topic 2-3 years ago, but it was a limited subject.
Web 2.0 Applications (Social Bookmarking, Social Networking, Podcasting and so on) replaced MSOI.  The difference is Web 2.0 is so big and diverse that we will continue to pay attention to it for many years to come, especially because the Web 2.0 produces a revolution, a shift on Internet mentality and habits.

As cannot predict, and definitely cannot see the end of the tunnel for our economy yet, I think it is wise to come back to the Multiple Streams of Income topic and see how we can create them now, as keeping all the eggs in one basket can hurt us. And the good news is, the Web 2.0 knowledge we have, can substantially enhance our endeavor. In other words, we can now have a different prospect of the Multiple Streams of Income topic.

If you have a good job now, and if you love your job, keep it!  But in your spare time you can try other avenues to make money, even if you don’t need them:

• You will sleep better and
• You will be covered in case something  happens

 By all means, I am not suggesting that something really wrong will happen, but I expect the recovery of our economy to be a slow process, and we have to survive in any event.

Generally speaking we have to improve ourselves, enhance, and add new skills as quickly as we can. 

Don’t jump and choose all the avenues I’ll present in 2 Blog posts. Have a good cup of coffee and think it through, see which avenues are attainable for you and concentrate on improving yourself on those avenue(s), only.
I am takeing the liberty to tell you this, because it is a major mistake to spread the activity too widely from the start.  YES, we need more Streams but I suggest to take one at a time and do it right, after you are comfortable with the first one, you can start the next one.  The order in which I have decided to talk about these avenues has a logic and a purpose.  Let’s see what we can do:
 
1. Sale on eBay and/or on other Selling-Channels.

We can make money selling on eBay, it is not as easy as 5-7 years ago but we can still do this and we must add new selling-channels and adopt new tactics on eBay as well.

Steve Lindhorst, former eBay University Instructor, gave us an interesting book “Selling on the River”
http://www.mc-ebay-resources.com/recommends/SOTR3
He explains that there are good benefits coming out of Multi-Channel Selling, we can also sell on Amazon and he gives us all the details about how to do it.

Ebay and Amazon are different, the rules are different, but the audience is different as well and we can fully take advantage of it using both.
I was surprised, intrigued, and delighted as the same time because people are usually biased but Steve is not, he is just an open minded and talented businesman. His position is to use both eBay and Amazon, I think he is right, and his idea is backed by Skip McGrath who is a veteran eBay Seller, author of the oldest eBay Newsletter, and author of a couple of very popular Digital Products, he is an established business person in his own right. I personally learned a lot over the years from Skip.

Reading Steve’s eBook you learn the differences between eBay and Amazon and learn how to sell on Amazon, he kind of presumes that you know how to sell on eBay, but if you don’t it is easy to learn both at the same time.

2. Affiliate Marketing, selling our or other people’s products.

You can do Affiliate Marketing, it is excellent if you already have your own Digital Product, but until then, you can start selling others’ products as an affiliate.
ClickBank is a tremendous MarketPlace where you can find Digital Products to sell. If you need to train yourself on how to do it, I recommend two very good DP which will literally guide you how to do it step-by-step:

The Commission Blueprint

I used both and I was impressed by the quality and brilliance of the content.

I also recommend Resell Rights Express,

I have it, I haven’t use it yet, it is a new product, but the review is excellent.  Let me know, if you try it first. If I’ll try it first I’ll post a review on this blog.

I don’t want to make this blog too long, you will soon get part II.  You already have 2 Streams of Income to think about, you have suggested training for them, and many more Streams are comming in Part II. The rest of it is up to you, don’t forget that  taking action is crucial.

Until next time, all the best
