Construct a Website with KompoZer
ALL YOU REALLY NEED IS A ONE-PAGE WEBSITE to take your business online! Creating that new website is the next thing you will want to do after you have your domain name and web hosting. You can design your website using a simple web page editor and a ready-to-use web page template.
There is no need to pay hundreds of dollars for complex web design software or hire someone to make a website for you, especially in the early stages of your business when you’re on a tight budget.
Using what is called a WYSIWYG editor, you will create, edit and tweak your very first website. And when you are finished, you will publish it on the world wide web!
I recommend KompoZer, a well-known, powerful yet easy-to-use WYSIWYG editor. WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. Sounds pretty high-tech, huh?
Basically, an editor is a piece of software that translates the text you write on your computer into HTML code that is recognized by your web hosting company. KompoZer is a free software designed for non-techies who need a very easy-to-learn, easy-to-use HTML editor.
So, the first thing you will need to do is download KompoZer onto your computer.
If you have your copy of the book that you see in the upper right-hand corner of this site, turn to page 18. You will find a link to a video showing you exactly how to download and install KompoZer. That will save you time and help you a lot.
If you don’t have this book yet, just fill in your name and email and click the ‘Send me the Report’ button. Your copy of Create Your First Website By 3:45 This Afternoon will be sent to you immediately.
Your next step is to start designing your webpage. Write your content and type it directly into KompoZer. Insert any images you wish to use, but keep them to a minimum. Too many graphics will make your website look unprofessional.
Use templates to get a quicker start on your website design. They will help you create an attractive, professional-looking site more easily and in less time.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF CREATING YOUR WEBSITE IS TO START. Don’t allow yourself to get stuck in the paralysis of analysis. The important thing now is to take action and get your new site out onto the web for the world to see. You can make more revisions later… and you probably will.
KompoZer is a popular, easy-to-use web authoring system. The WYSIWYG editor makes it very user-friendly for non-techies because knowledge of HTML is not required. A simple understanding of KompoZer is enough to create a website. DOWNLOAD KompoZer HERE.

Business Resolutions for a Profitable 2011
After that most wonderful time of the year known as The Holidays, we are eager to welcome the New Year. We have indulged in good times with family and friends, eaten more than we probably should have, traveled, and enjoyed a break away from work. Now, rested and refreshed, we are ready to get back to business. The New Year presents us with a clean slate, another chance to get it right. We vow to improve our health and finances, pay more attention to those we care about, and be more present in our communities.
For business owners and entrepreneurs the New Year offers a tremendous opportunity to revitalize growth and boost profits. Let your imagination seek new heights and bear in mind that even small changes lead to big results.
As you consider your list of business resolutions for 2011, perhaps you’ll find inspiration in these suggestions:
Set achievable and measureable goals
Just writing a list of your goals and aspirations is not enough to make them a reality. Once you have written your list, create a plan that you will follow to reach those goals. Be as specific as possible. For instance, write down your goal for the week. Then break that down into a series of daily action plans. Be realistic and set achievable goals for yourself.
Improve your time management skills
Do you know how the majority of your time is spent? Start off 2011 by analyzing where and how you use your time. How can you focus more time on the revenue-generating activities? Can you delegate some of the management and administrative tasks?
Focus on customer service
You spent time, money, and energy to attract your clients. Now you want to keep those customers happy so that you can retain their business even while you’re working to bring in new business. Happy clients will gladly refer others to you, helping to spread the good word about your products and services.
Embrace the power of choice
Once you have decided which resolutions to tackle this year, you must choose to take action and work on the plans you have formulated. To tap into your power of choice, you must first activate your will. Will is what gives you the strength to act upon your decisions. In other words, will enables your power of choice.

Create Multiple Streams of Passive Income
. . with Affiliate Marketing
Remember when Johnny Carson did Karnac the Magnificent? (That is, if you’re old enough to remember Carson.) I can still see him wearing that turban and holding an envelope.
Concentrating his mystic power, Karnac would pretend to deduce the contents of that envelope. Tonight, Karnac the Magnificent might say something like this: “what the economy and whitewater rafting have in common.”
Without a doubt, our businesses and lives are still feeling the turbulence. Our best course of action is to continue taking solid steps in the direction of our goals and dreams.
You just need to listen to the news to be reminded that employment doesn’t work as a reliable income source these days and the term ‘job security’ has become an oxymoron. Today’s buzz is all about creating multiple streams of income to support financial success. I completely agree with the concept and if you’re reading, you probably do, too.
A few years ago, I began researching the idea of starting a home-based business and earning a living working for myself from home. I bought books and took a few courses, making a vital investment in educating myself. Still, the questions remained, “But where do I literally start? What do I do first?”
I offer you these recommendations – some of my favorites – with the hope that you will find the helpful guidance you need to create profitable streams of internet income and realize your financial freedom.
The One Week Marketing Guide is a beautifully organized action plan that you can follow to get your internet marketing business up and running!
This program will teach you how to set up successful campaigns online that generate traffic and sales. You will learn the basics and (what may be even more important) how to put all the pieces together.
The One Week Marketing Guide takes the guesswork and frustration out of making money online by providing you with a daily action plan, in simple steps, that you can follow.
Another big plus of this system is that if you’re on a tight budget (and who isn’t these days) you will learn how to leverage free-to-use web properties on the internet so that you can get started with no money out of pocket.
The Super Affiliate Handbook is an in-depth guide to building a successful affiliate marketing website. Everything from basic equipment and software requirements, to choosing the right merchant partners and getting massive quantities of targeted traffic to your web site is covered.
In a style that is friendly and humorous, the Super Affiliate Handbook is peppered with real examples of what Rosalind did to become one of the most recognizable Super Affiliates in the world. And she doesn’t just tell you what she did right — she exposes the mistakes she made as well — to help you avoid potential problems.
Ros describes the systems she uses to generate conversion rates of between 2.5% and 6% promoting other people’s stuff as an affiliate marketer.
By far, my biggest stumbling block in creating a successful web business was knowing exactly what to do and how to put it all together. What comes first? What to do next? How do I organize my time and develop a schedule?
Lots of knowledge + no action = zero $$. This is not what we want!
Don’t get caught up in the paralysis of analysis and have nothing more than a spinning head to show for all your hours of work.
If you feel, like I did, that you would benefit from a ‘step-by-step what-to-do-next do-this-do-that’ plan of attack – then this book is for you! Create Your First Website By 3:45 This Afternoon is a FREE step-by-step guide. It includes videos and screenshots! You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.

And Rise to Super Affiliate Status
We hear the term “super affiliate” bandied about quite often. Who is a super affiliate and just what does it take to qualify for membership in that lofty club?
You might define a super affiliate as someone able to gather at least 20 to 30 sales per week on a regular basis. However, the figure that seems to come up repeatedly as a bench mark is around $10,000 per month. When someone is earning at that level and above, they will be referred to as being in the ranks of the “Super Affiliates”.
Here’s a new eBook – just released this month as a matter of fact. I predict that it will become very popular!
The eBook, aptly titled ClickBank Affiliate Winner, tells you what you must let your customer know and what you must deliver to your customer to get the edge over rival affiliates.
Would you like to learn two things you must do to make your marketing stand out from the crowd? One of these is the undisputed clincher for persuading the customer to buy. The other will ensure that he buys through your link.
ClickBank Affiliate Winner, written by Harvey Segal (Mr. ClickBank) is a quick and easy read, written without hype. It’s going to be a boon for ClickBank affiliates striving to attain super affiliate status.
And the cost of this book?

And it ends with an amazing idea for you to make money from the book itself.

Want to Earn $$ Taking Photos?
If you enjoy taking photos . . . and would like to earn $300 or more every week . . . then you should keep reading!
Did you know there is a real opportunity to make good money from simple day-to-day photographs?
Think about it – every marketing piece, every advertisement, website, magazine, eBook, brochure, and so on uses photos or images. Where do you suppose they all come from? From people just like you and me.
So, what is this business opportunity?
You are going to make money by selling digital photos! Please let me clear something up right away. You do not have to be an expert photographer.
You simply need a passion for taking pictures and a good digital camera. Add to that your innate creativity and you have the potential for earning a very good monthly income.
Digital cameras are simple to use and with a variety of shooting modes, optical zoom, and other smart features, they allow everyone to take high quality, clear photos.
“Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.”
~ Ansel Adams ~
What kinds of photos are people looking for?
Everyday subjects – students in a classroom, a bowl of raspberries, a happy family at the beach, a big red bow – images from the world around us.
These are just some of the photos that have been sold recently: a shopper with a dozen bags ~ pushpins on a map ~ a man using a bench press ~ a misty forest ~ a grouping of candles ~ a silhouette of two horse riders ~ a lonely duck in a pond ~ pumpkins with fall leaves ~ a pile of old bricks.
By now, your head is probably spinning with ideas and you’re ready to run out and start taking pictures! But before you do, you will need to know how and where to sell them so that you can start making money as soon as possible.
“There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.”
~ Ansel Adams ~
How does this business work?
You will submit your digital photos to one or more of the photo websites you find online. Submitting your photos will not cost you anything; it is entirely free.
These photo websites are known as stock photography websites, and they’re always looking for a fresh supply of creative, eye-catching photos.
Just surfing the ‘net is proof enough of the huge demand for photos and images.
People who need photos browse these stock photography websites and pay between $0.25 and $5.00 for each photo they choose to download. Each time someone downloads one of your photos you will get paid. Are you starting to see the possibilities here?
To learn more about what sort of photos are needed, how these stock photography sites work, and how to get going in this exciting business – grab your copy of Earn $300 A Week With Your Digital Camera.
“A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.”
