For those of you who resell imported goods from all over the world, you need a great ally for when it comes to product sourcing.
Alibaba.com has been a primary source for all needs product sourcing and importing since Jack Ma in 1999 had founded the company. If you need any sort of Gadget or Widget, ranging from Automobiles to usb pocket drives to clothing, and anything else for that matter, alibaba.com has the product source, and will also commence in business to business (B2B) transactions.
This one will not be the usual pep rally speech as you are used to! Actually this is a blog for when you have to cut and run on the hype machines and decide ultimately for yourself if you need to take a plan of action.
Being in the Clickbank arena for a few months, I have done so-so, and maybe now able to pay some bills and actually survive off of the income Clickbank could provide me. The problem is, that no campaign is perfect, and sometimes, despite your best of efforts, there could be more competition, there could also be Google throwing your ass in the Sandbox, rendering you clueless why you are not making sales, and also it could be some other issues aside from it all.
Is it easy what us internet marketers do? Yes and No. Easy for those who know what the heck they are doing. But that is never the case for anybody, despite how much experience any Internet Marketer has. Google always changes their algorithms for search, new rules for PPC, and habits of each internet user and regulations passed down from other countries are always having us changing up the methods and techniques that we use on a daily basis.
For the folks at the very top, they have done quite a huge amount of trial and error and know what the heck is going on most of the time. They have been able in their core groups to chameleon themselves into newer formats and plans of action and go to the next best thing.
For you, the sole internet marketer that is hearing a ton of hype from someone, who perhaps is pulling their hair out when their campaigns go south. You have to ask yourself, when can you accept defeat and change your strategy? The problem, is that either you are not putting enough effort, or maybe hitting the wrong keywords or niches, and maybe the affiliate network is not working out for you. With affiliate networks, there is no one trick pony out here, and I strongly advocate that to anyone. There is no demigod network out there, not one network is the highest of the high and the next tier down.
You can be an affiliate of some shithole CPA network, and make your living where rather you wouldn’t make shit on some major CPA network. It depends on your comfort level and how well you can sell their product.
If you feel the need to go try out a new offer, do not limit yourself or stick on a product if it is not converting for you. Some products just don’t convert for everybody! Come to think about it, if everybody was able to convert everything and work off of every CPA network, then everybody would try to make money off of the internet, and that is just not possible.
There is my two cents! Talk to you next week!

Good morning and welcome to another week of blogging the good things in life! First of all, I would like to tell you, that yes, I did delay going to the gym until this week, but one good thing, with cutting out the caffeine, and eating a bit less did some good for me!
I lost 6 pounds! So I start from 335 to 329! So, 129 pounds more to the goal of 200!
So, what is the game plan with eating and dieting? I will give you a first day insight!
Breakfast: 4 hard boiled egg whites and Water:
Lunch: half Can of Tuna or 3 oz of chicken breast. Salad mix, and light vinagrette
Dinner: Roasted Chicken, green veggie and brown rice or light starch
Snack: Popcorn
That will be the day one method. Look, there is no soda, no junk, no McDonalds, no late night Caffeine runs to Shoprite or Wawa. Just Water!!!!
Of Course I will be working out as well since I just joined the gym, I will shoot for 20 minutes of Cardio, and I will run the rack on the upper body muscle groups.
Now that I have given up caffeine, and reducing the sugars, I have now felt way better, more stride in my step and feeling better and more confident! I will ask you, to give up caffeine for a few days. The reason why I would want you to, is because you might just feel a bit different in a more positive end. I know as a programmer or a hardcore office junkie, is it damn near difficult to do so. But be persistent, fight well over the caffeine withdrawal headaches, and maybe you will feel better!
Now it is time to kick out the jam motherfuckers! Push yourself to the next tier!!!
So, how is highly conscious about the earth and try to do the Green thing? You? Maybe you would want to read up on this new product that just recently released called “Earth 4 Energy.”
Earth 4 Energy is all about how to live in a more efficient, earth friendly manner. The techniques and plans to reduce dependency on un-renewable energy are absolutely worth the price of the the ebook.
In this book, you will learn how to build your own solar and wind energy generation systems. The book claims that you can build your own system for under $200.
I am really psyched about this, because you can reduce your electricity bill, and also help reduce the use of foreign oil and non renewable resources such as coal and crude oil.
Hello! Welcome to another edition of Adventures in Internet Marketing. Just a quick reminder, I will have my special post for my weight loss campaign later on, for those who view my weight loss monday posts here at iliveinsuccess.com.
This week, my core focus is going to be Time Management, and what to do with your time. As in all business, one area that really could help you in getting more productivity in a short amount of time, is working on your time management.
Alot of businesspeople believe it or not suck at it. How come some people are good with it and some are bad?
Well, some folks are good at timing and run around like chickens with their heads cut off. Some just do not properly budget their time and do not have a clue where to start with making a time management solution.
The most important deal with time management, is planning your time. Of course we will touch on making plans on how to do other aspects of the internet marketing game, but for right now, you need to have a core focus on setting up a time during the day, to do your bidding.
Just like you have a work or class schedule, you need to follow a routine with scheduling. A routine is not as bad as it sounds, because you can build a solid strategy and marketing campaign if you know that you have a block of time, and then the core tasks for that time period.
Let’s say you are a 9-5er who wants to set up 3 hours a day from 6-9pm/1800-2100 three or four days a week, and keep that schedule for four weeks. Ok, also set up one of your weekend days, perhaps Saturday day, for three more hours. Why wouldn’t I schedule on Sunday? Because for some, it is a day of rest, fasting, for me, it is formula one racing and American Football with the guys.
Saturday, is when everybody wakes up, and either laxes around, or calling up their buds to get wasted later on that night, with having of course a few hours to spare.
Use those hours, and follow a formula to work around your marketing strategy. Let’s use a hyptothetical routine for marketing purposes…
The three hour slot starts at 6pm with checking emails and your numbers from marketing, which will take about 10/15 so minutes.
After doing the emails and checking numbers, you would spend the rest of the time doing what is needed for your campaigns and research. Try to have a certain flow, rather you have a set of time blocks doing research for 45 minutes, backlinking for 45, and maybe for the rest do some PPC work or article marketing.
Now you could also set up your schedule on this 3-4 schedule, such as Saturday for research, and Monday for Links, then squidoo wednesdays and Wednesdays for ezinearticles or PPC analysis.
You do not have to follow any of the two, but as long as you have a time management formula that helps increase productivity and increases overall profits, then you are golden!!!
More in planning to come up next week!!!
Make the Money!!!

Happy Product Launch Tuesday folks, and I wanted to let each and every one of you know about the newest, most innovative, and incentive rich opportunities in the Forex World being released today. Today, August 19th 2008 will be the launch of the Forex Brotherhood.
Now what is the Forex Brotherhood all about?
The Forex Brotherhood is a new Forex Trading Community, hosted by Expert Trading Professional Jason Alan Jankovsky.
This private, exclusive trading club offers a Professional Forex Help Forum, Twice Daily audio broadcasts from Jason Alan Jankovsky to help determine the best strategy with price action analysis, and many more things to offer as well!
Jason Alan Jankovsky is a professional trader, who has well over 20 years of experience at the helm of Leveraged Transaction Trading. First starting out in Chicago’s Brutal Futures Market, Jason made a bushel of wealth trading corn futures and eventually migrated his game to Foreign Currency Trading. With all of the years that went, Jason has been through trials and tribulations, picking up valuable lessons and experience along the way.
Jason has greatly refined his craft into the level of an authority figure in Forex Trading. With a book already released with Wiley Publishing, and another coming out in October of this year noting the trials and tribulations in the Chicago Futures Market, Jason has now set up an exclusive community with NC Media called the Forex Brotherhood.
Jason alan Jankovsky will offer to his members of the Forex Brotherhood, not only two months of audio forecasts and mentoring, but also answer questions in the private forum and have a light discussion too. Jason noted that one on one guidance will also be a strong emphasis here at the Forex Brotherhood.
Also included, are Deskview, which is a trading solution that helps Jason communicate with you on any recent or breaking issues happening in forex. Also You will receive the ebook “The Ten Mistakes Made in Forex Trading” discussing in detail about the 10 detailed miscues and problems most traders face at least once in their trading career.
Also you will get the custom Forex Brotherhood FXBH Module 1 Expert Advisor, a custom expert advisor, which is an automated trading solution, which will help you with executing trades and pointing the best possible exit zones and profit points.
And I forgot to mention that with each of the twice daily audio broadcasts, they will be archived for 30 days, so if you need to reference any points previous to the current, you can take advantage of the archives.
Cost:
The Forex Brotherhood Costs at signup, $250 for the first month, and then each month thereafter at $150. Compare this to other Forex Communities, and see how much they want to charge for a service not even comparable to the services the Forex Brotherhood offers. You would probably end up paying well over 5-10 times as much, and probably the customer service is flat out unsatisfactory.
After taking a week and doing a shitload of thinking along with a success path in internet marketing is melding perfectly, I needed to take care of the weight issue, and go on with the rest of my life. Besides the two remaining website clients that I have which are on hold on their reason, I am now going full bore with internet marketing, and now since the financial and mental game is starting to push more towards my court (THANK GOD, ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!) I need to really take care of my health and improve on many different things within such.
An unexpected check from the affiliate marketing gods showed up on my doorstep and the amount is just enough to get me in the gym around the corner. So what to do now?
Firstly, I need to realize that with getting a gym membership, that there is some perpetual change that has got to occur. It is more like two percent physical and ninety-eight percent psychological, but I need to come up with a realistic weight loss plan and more importantly, a mind plan. I am just getting sick and fucking tired of living as some sad fatass just doing internet marketing.
I want to be a healthy individual who does internet marketing. The great thing with internet marketing is, that i can go anywhere in the WORLD, and do my job, and make money. If my physical shape and overall health blow, I might as well be in a wheelchair eating donuts all day. So, I have slated that change must occur.
With the diabetes possibility (No, I didn’t go to a doctor yet.) No time like the present couldn’t be better for this change. We are though starting wednesday on this.
The changes that must occur, and I have set a dead line and policies stricter than government specification on this. I must eat at a certain time, live at certain other times, and kick myself in the ass at the gym at least once a day 6 days a week.
WE are going to do 30 minutes of cardio a day and 3 of those days being lifting days. The cardio days are going to be HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training, and the lifting will not be anything less.)
I will keep you posted on workouts and also post a SPECIAL post on Wednesday on startup and everything else. I might even bother my cousin for another blood sugar test strip just to keep telemetry on glucose levels.
KICK ASS FOLKS!!! See you on Wednesday when this battle starts!!!

Welcome to the weekend! Now it is time to get to that wonderful blog we have here that showcases some awesome Ferraris! This time, we are going to greatly contrast this weeks edition from the usual: We are going to post AFFORDABLE Ferraris for auction and for sale, which most will cost under 35K. These cars would be a great value for those who are new and interested in starting a Ferrari Collection, but do not have a sultan’s fortune to acquire.
Ferrari #5 is a rare 1983 Ferrari 400i, which was the 2+2 grand tourer from the late 70’s and 80’s. preceded by the 365 Daytona 2+2 and the succeeded by the 456GT, this model is usually looked over among collectors, but a potential rising start at auctions and collectors garages. With 55,000 miles, and a buy it now on ebay for 27K, a great first car for the eager Ferrari Collector.
Ferrari #4 is the 1979 Ferrari 308, another highly produced marvel within the Ferrari Marque. a three litre v8, mounted transverse mid-rear configuration and pushes an honest 225 bhp, was made very popular with the T.V. Show Magnum P.I. The starting bid for this ferrari is under $20,000 and has 46,000 miles.
Ferrari #3 is a Mondial Cabriolet from 1985. 3.2 litres of v8 mid mounted rear drive power and 24,000 miles, well kept and a great 2+2 that fell into the mid rear lineup (the 400 being the front-reat Grand Tourer during that time.) A sick Ferrari of course and heavily accessible under $30,000.
Ferrari #2 is Also a Mondial, but maybe you do not prefer a Spyder! Maybe you just want to have a coupe instead!!! There is one for sale, slightly higher on the mileage, but at the same pricepoint as Ferrari #3.
Ferrari #1, as we usually try to save the best for last, is probably a bit over the 35K range, but for under 50K, on buy it now, you can get a 1998 355 F1! was in a small wreck as the owner claims, but has been repaired and works fine. has records and everything and has a low 13,890 miles to it’s name. Painted in Nero and here is a plus! Year one for SMG!!! You get them floppy sticks Jeremy Clarkson just loves to hate!
