I’ve recently found a new website that’s made keeping a post every day a breeze!

With Guest Bloggers!

So I’ve always been jealous when I’ve seen that other bloggers have had guest bloggers and I was curious. How do they find them? Well generally when you get popular enough, people will come to you! But I don’t exactly have a large readership numbering well into the thousands who are eager to advertise. So I asked myself, how do I get guest bloggers without exhausting myself hunting them all down?

Yara Starak heard my question and answered, in the form of a newsletter. This particular newsletter was promoting a program called AffSphere. Affsphere is an Article Directory service.

AffSphere Article Directory Service

An article directory is a list of of articles that the members create and submit for public use, with the one condition that you link back to their website when you use their written content. This has many benefits, and very few downsides. The content can be sorted in a relevant manner based on category so you can easily find articles within your niche to publish!

Pros:

• When you submit articles and other people use them, you get free link backs which improve your SEO and helps make your existence more aware to other readers. Sort of like an auto-marketing for your work.
• On days that you don’t have time to write, or just have no ides, you can grab someone else’s pre-written work and post it as a guest! This keeps content for all of your readers, and frees up your time when you have very little.
• There’s some sort of way to make money using this program, I’m not particularly sure as I’m just using it to submit and borrow articles. Here’s the video for the money making part:

Cons:

• You can’t submit other people’s work to any social networking sites such as DIGG, StumbleUpon, or BuzzFuze.

Like all the best things in life, it’s simple to use and easy to navigate. It’s a very helpful tool that I recommend everyone sign up for, even if you just want to submit your own articles.

How To Quit School And Start Your Own Business
By Andrew Shiveley

One of the biggest risks you may ever take in your life, especially if you are only a teenager, will be leaving school and diving head-first into becoming a self-made entrepreneur. Many books about internet marketing it always start off with a quote that says something like “98% of people will fail to make a full-time living with this,” and I can only assume that the casualty rate is higher when you consider that you must completely abandon all mainstream wealth creation methods when you leave college or high school to start your own business.

Who Should Read This Article

This article is mainly directed at teenagers who may be in their final year of high school or first year of college. You may be older and that is fine, the only requisite is that you feel excited by the notion of being able to create your own life to the fullest extent. You may be younger as well, if so you are in a special scenario which will be addressed a little later on.

Leaving school in order to be completely self-sufficient is not something that everyone can handle, and it is certainly not something that everyone can succeed at. You need to have a certain type of personality, you need to be driven and disciplined (these are both learned skills which you can start today), you need to have a concrete idea of how you will make money, and you need to have the support of at least one close family member or friend.

The Personal Requirements For Success After Leaving School

As a first step, start by recognizing exactly why it is that you want to quit school. You may not precisely *want* to start your own business (i.e. you might just want to let your musical creativity flourish and begin learning different instruments), but you realize that money in today’s world is a necessary part of living a comfortable and stress-free life.

Take a few moments one day to really examine yourself and your own personality, because your personality type can play a large part in your success rate. It is important to feel adventurous, and I can tell you right now that if you are the type of person who is bouncing up and down in their chair at the thought of abandoning their old life and starting a new one where the only rules are the ones that you set for yourself, and where you can enjoy the freedom to be completely creative in your own way and to enjoy the full benefits (monetary and otherwise) of your own creative expression, this is probably the best path for you. Passion and excitement are just so incredibly important, because when you are working all alone for yourself and you hit a roadblock, you need to be able to reach within yourself into your own personal untapped reserves and surmount any obstacle you are presented with.

It is important to be driven and disciplined, but this is meant in a way that you may not be entirely familiar with yet. I bet even when you just hear the word ‘disciplined,’ you might understand that to mean ‘you need to work hard and turn in your homework on time’ because that is the only understanding of this concept that you have been taught. You need to be disciplined in a more laid back and less structured kind of way, which equates to having a desire to be free and independent and translating that desire into a consistent schedule where you can devote a certain (even small) number of hours each day that you can work towards achieving your business goals.

Working hard might not be the most exciting notion, but try to understand the concept of discipline in the light of taking a certain amount of time each and every day to simply blow through the boring stuff so that you can enjoy the freedom to focus unabatedly on the things that truly excite you in this world.

The Practical Requirements For Success After Leaving School

One of the most important things that you must have if you want to be independent and succeed on your own after leaving school is having at least one person who will support you and encourage what you are trying to do.

It is a truly sad set of circumstances when a brilliant child has parents who are ‘dream killers’ that tell their child to just do their homework and work hard simply because they do not know any better, so if you feel that your parents or relatives are like this then it is important for you to break away from them and find at least one person that will encourage you to feel excited about taking risks and acting on your dreams.

This is especially true if you are 18 or younger and are considering leaving school to be fully independent and creative. You absolutely must have a parent or relative that can support you emotionally and also financially, because it is not possible to create huge profitable ideas and to be fully creative if you are constantly worried about how you will survive and pay the bills.

You might not have much money as you are starting, but it is important to save up around $500 so that you can set up your own business and corporate structure called a limited liability company (LLC). This is an important and professional first step that will help you build a real tangible business that is owned by you, and it can allow you to completely separate business costs from living costs. You can also get started building business credit, which can be important later on if you want to build your business to run on autopilot where all you need to do is spend a few hours per day managing the profit infrastructure you have created.

Remember that this is your choice and your company (and your life!), so try to have as much fun with this as possible. Get creative and come up with a cool title for yourself, like ‘President & Chief Innovation Officer.’

Final Thoughts For Leaving School and Being Free and Independent

When you finally do decide to leave school, you are presented with a unique opportunity to basically tell your teachers ‘I am better than you!’ in the most polite way possible, so I encourage you to really have fun with this and use this opportunity to fuel your passion for personal success.

Very few feelings in this world can match the one you will experience when you write an email to all your teachers saying ‘I am going to become a millionaire and I don’t have to take your crap anymore,’ and then throwing away the password to your college email account and never opening it again. This is your moment and it is your life, so embark on this new journey with passion and excitement, for if you can simply maintain those truly powerful emotions then everything will tend to simply fall into place.

If you’ve never experienced true success, it’s probably because you’ve never experienced true failure.

True Success vs. Temporary Success

If you always succeed at everything you do, you’ll never know what went wrong when you fail. Trust me on this, everything is bound to fail at one point or another, little or big, a failure is a failure, and a failure is EXPERIENCE. When you create experience, you know how what to do when something goes wrong and what not to do if everything goes right. It’s a lot like spilling a cup of water, you know how to clean it up, and not to knock the glass over and it won’t spill again. But maybe you made a mistake and spilled it, everyone makes mistakes sometimes and after you’ve cleaned it up, you notice that everything is back to normal. You may be one glass short, but that’s one less glass you can break in the long run.

What do you want in life?

Tell me what your end all goal is, just say it out loud, now. How was that? Didn’t hear much of anything? If you don’t truly have any goals, you will never truly have success. Youaren’t going to go far because you can’t succeed at something that doesn’t exist, but more importantly you can’t fail.

Set A Goal

Take 20 seconds out of your life, yes, less time than it’s taken you to read this, and set a goal. How do you set a goal? You take a dream and a time frame for completion. Think of something you want done: I don’t care if it’s making 1 million dollars, just think of something. Now that you know what you want, set a time, we have to know when you want it. Now that you have a subject and a time frame, you have a goal.

It’s unrealistic, I’ll never achieve it!

If you think your goal is unrealistic, you need to take a deep breath and consider what’s important in your life. Is your life so unimportant that you don’t let yourself have dreams? A goal is simply a dream with a countdown clock, a simple timer. Once you can cope with the fact that anything you want in life is possible, you are ready to succeed. If you don’t think you know HOW your dream will come to be, that’s because you don’t. To be honest with you, I don’t either. You could ask a million people if they know how, but everyone will say the same thing, “no.” The truth is that no one can ever be sure of what’s going to happen and after it happens, why it happened. But there is one thing that is apparent; everything works towards a common goal, which is generally your outlook of life; good or bad.

Did I just fail?

Did you just fail? Then you just became one step closer to true success. If you fail you just learned what didn’t worked. That didn’t mean that you need to abandon the idea completely, just fine tune it. It’s a lot like setting the sight on a gun, it’s easier to know which way to dial it in if you shoot first and see how far away from the target you are.

Making adjustments!

Once you’ve failed once, you know what went wrong and what you need to change. If you’ve done something other than destroy something, then you’re one step closer to true success. If you always succeed at everything you do, you’ll never know what went wrong when you fail.

Don’t forget about your goal!

The key to learning from your failures is to not forget your goal. If you get distracted by your failures, try and remember what your goal was to begin with. Spend a moment every day, 30 seconds to 30 hours, whichever is better for you, to visualize in your head that important goal of yours.

Share your success, smile! Just be happy.

Don’t forget to share your success and smile! Smiling not only makes you happy, but cheers up everyone that sees it, it’s contagious. Set a goal, make a time frame, now smile! If you aren’t having fun along the way, then you’re not working towards your goal. If you ever view something with negative thoughts and a bad mindset, then everything you do in those moments will be imbued with a bad attitude. If you fail at your goal but you were happy the whole time you got there, then at the very least you can say you enjoyed life. Isn’t that a goal worth having in its own? Enjoying failure is a lot better than regretting success. =)

So with all those successful people out there getting rich from the internet, why aren’t we? If these programs work so well.. why don’t they work for me?

The trick is you need to make your own program!

See a program that sounds decent? Just re-make it!

To get free traffic, you may be using traffic circulators. Why not instead make a traffic circulating website! You will get your own advertising outlet to advertise to all the member that join, plus their e-mails to e-mail them offers! You can even sell credits!

Like a paid to view website, but think it doesn’t pay enough? Contact each offer your viewing and ask for an affiliate account, they will pay you x.xx per view you send them, do this with all the programs and put them on a list in a website to make your own paid to view program!

The key is, it’s really easy

The key to it all is that it’s really easy. We just tend to over-complicate things by getting stuck on the wrong side of the fence. We all stand here looking at success saying.. if they can do it, why can’t we?! The trick is to see what they’re doing, they’re staring back at you.

If you get sucked in to the mindset that you have to use the programs to succeed, you may never succeed. Once you break free and see that all you have to do is re-create these programs, copy the successful programs you see, then promote them. It’s that easy!

Note: Don’t infringe upon copyright laws that programs have in place.

I was browsing the web today and I found the most interesting FREE E-BOOK! It claims that you can make 1000’s of dollars with the click of a button. It can be found here.

This is interesting because it’s a sales page, unlike niche sites that require constant maintenance. One that you don’t have to maintain! It’s actually quite a brilliant idea!

How It Works

So this is great because he gives away the information free, and doesn’t directly sell you anything. In his free e-book he does stress how important it is that you use his links included, which are clearly referral links and he doesn’t even try to hide that fact by using different keywords and an <href> tag. He gives you a rock solid plan to win every time and the tools you need to make it happen, then let’s you get to it. Though every time you make purchases, he gets paid, that’s the part you don’t realize.

Why It Works

He gives you the secret first! In this e-book, which is free, he gives you the secret to making money first. This is a “never lose, always profit” strategy that he claims is guaranteed to work every time and that he uses everyday. To the unsuspecting viewer, this looks great. What he is trying to sell you is actually casino credits. It’s all 100% scam free and makes to look like quite the deal because when you buy $200 of credits, you get $200 free. You feel like you’re getting a deal! But really, he’s getting about 40% of what you purchase, which means if you purchase $200 he gets $80.

• Gives you the ’secret’ to making money before you purchase anything
• Doesn’t directly sell you anything
• Makes you feel like you’re getting more

This is all called Pre-selling. Which means he makes you feel comfortable and excited about the product, ready to buy it before you actually buy it. It’s the reason all affiliate programs exist. Getting someone else to find your customers is a great way to get business.

Creating a Sales Page for Affiliate Marketing

A great way to make money! Everyone always says to create a niche site, but you can’t quite figure out what niche you want to cover, or if you settle one one, you don’t have enough content to fill up a websites worth and update it every day. So why not create a sales page? But you don’t have anything to sell, so sell something that someone else has!

There are plenty of affiliate programs out there with big payouts, all you have to do is find one, which is no problem. There are plenty of affiliate program lists on the web. After a bit of research you can find one and settle on it, or why not just follow proven success. Go ahead and sign up with www.888.com

Next step is simple, create a sales page. How do you know when it’s good enough? Read it for yourself or have a friend read it, if they feel that they would be inclined to make a purchase after reading it, that’s all you need! This can be as short or as long as you want, as long as it feels effective!

After you get your sales page on the internet, you’re good to go. Sign up with a couple of advertising programs, like AdWords from Google and buy some cheap advertising for around 10 cents a click. Then all you do is sit back and wait for the money to come your way. It really is THAT simple, and you get an e-mail list while you’re at it.

Why promote an affiliate program?

Because like this website, you can promote free content! This is a great way to pre-sell something because you can get just hype up the program and not have any stress about if the product works or not or making new ones. All you do is sell it! You never have to worry about maintaining it or clearing out transactions and refunding orders, all that is handled by someone else.

E-mail lists, make extra money!

Every time someone subscribes, you get an e-mail address. An e-mail address of someone who is looking to make money or spend money, or somewhere in between. Once you get your e-mail list to a fairly decent size, you can start sending out advertisements for other products they can purchase for your own cut of the profit, or sell the e-mail list to other companies for a hefty sum. Or simply continue to promote the same product.

That’s the basics of it

So that’s the basics of it. Find a program > promote it > sell it. The rest is worry-free all you have to worry about is the few pennies you’re spending to buy your traffic, isn’t that simple?
