Money as DEBT

Internet Income - Who Is Mack Michaels of Maverick Money Makers Club? by Candy Lim

Mack Michaels of Maverick Money Makers Club teaches its members to grow to be rich harnessing the power of the Internet as affiliate marketers. I am fortunate to be able to learn from Mack Michaels and though I'm new to the club, I'm surely on my way to becoming a millionaire myself and I believe in this dream. However, this article is not about me but it records the journey of Mack Michaels through his years of struggle to how he became the success that he is today.
Mack Michaels - His Struggles He worked hard, worked really hard for the money exactly like millions of us all over the world. Hard work in itself was not enough. Mack Michaels was getting by and living paycheck to paycheck. He always wanted to live the "American Dream" but none of his jobs provided him with the satisfaction and the financial freedom he craved. He never got anywhere near making enough money and living the life he always craved for. His family's financial future was anything but secure.

Just when Mack Michaels thought, it couldn't get worse. It did. On a gloomy December 7th (his birthday), he got laid off from the only job he had at that point. He knew he had to do something fast before they ended up homeless and on the streets. This time he thought long and hard before making any move to get yet another job. He got his clarity and vision by asking a simple question: "What is it I really want, and more importantly, what is it I don't want in a job?"

Mack Michaels Created A Vision Out of his asking that simple question, Mack Michaels came up with a list of what he wanted and what he did not want. List Of Don't Wants - No boss to boss him around. - Not to be on anyone else's time clock or at the mercy of an annoying alarm clock. - Not to waste time in traffic commuting to work. - Not to spend more time away from home and family. - Not to be stressed about expenses. - Not to make somebody else rich and waste his life working to make someone else wealthy.

List Of Wants - To work from home or from anywhere he wanted. - To have a job that gave him as much free time as he wanted. - To be close to his family and spend more time with them. - To have an income that would give his family more than enough. - To have the freedom of being able to travel whenever he wanted. - To do something he truly enjoyed and was easy to do. - To work only for a few hours a day. - To make money even when he was not working. An automated passive income. - To start making money immediately.

Mack Michaels Realized Vision Was Not Enough He quickly realized that just having this vision of what he wanted and what he did not want was not enough because he bought many products that promised him riches only to discover soon that he'd been taken for a ride and he had maxed out his credit cards. Within 6 months, he was back to holding 3 jobs that were laborious and stressful and he was neck deep down in debt to a tune of $23,769. Mack Michaels again came up with another list of what was working against him in his quest for wealth. - He didn't know how to create a product. - He didn't know how to set up a website. - He didn't know how to set up a payment system. - He didn't know HTML or coding or even upload files to a server. - He didn't know anything about an autoresponder. - He didn't know "pay per click" or PPC advertising. - He didn't know how to set up an affiliate program. - He didn't know anything about web stats. - He didn't know how to run a business and had zero experience with advertising or making money from home.

Power Of Networking - Mack Michaels Takes The Step To Network With Others The next step he took was something most of us never do. He quit buying products and started to network to get to know the people who were successful and knew what he didn't know.

After months of networking, he met Matt - a programming God of sorts. Mack and Matt got along and started working on Mack Michael's plans of automating systems and making money together. They harnessed each other's strengths and the systems and programs they built started making them money. A lot of money.

Within 3 months, he was able to quit all 3 of the jobs he was working at the time and paid off all his debts. His life completely turned around in less than 6 months, he now had an easy job working from home for less than 4 hours a day yet making much more money than the salaries of the three jobs combined.

This gave birth to the exclusive club, Maverick Money Makers where Mack Michaels personally along with his team members mentor folks from all over the world looking to have the same income and financial freedom that Mack enjoys.

SPOTLIGHT ON A MILLIONAIRE - SIR RICHARD BRANSON by Festus Sowah

The second of my 'Spotlight on a Millionaire' series focuses on Sir Richard Branson. Sir Richard has demonstrated that anyone could be a successful entrepreneur with the right attitude and mindset. OK, he is a billionaire but the same principles apply.

In 2008, Forbes Magazine named Sir Richard among the 250 richest people in the world. Born on July 18 1950, the young Branson suffered from dyslexia and consequently, struggled academically. However, he identified his key strengths at a very early age. That skill was his ability to relate to people effortlessly and genuinely.

Sir Richard came from a reputable family with both father and grandfather working in the judiciary. That did not deter him from starting his entrepreneurship selling records out of the trunk of his car.

With hard work and a good team around him, he soon graduated to owning a record store in Oxford Street, London. He also co-owned the record label, Virgin Records which he sold in 1992 to grow his Virgin Airline business. Subsequently, he has entered the railway industry and continues to grow his airline business. For example, recently, the entrepreneur merged with SN Brussels Airline and has also formed a brand new national airline in Nigeria, Virgin Nigeria.

In 1992, Sir Richard demonstrated his people touch by splitting an out of court settlement of over £500k paid by British Airways for alleged libel, among his employees.

He received his knighthood in 1999 for his services to entrepreneurship. A man who never rests on his laurels, he has been involved in several world record attempts, including crossing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by sea and air and circumnavigating the globe.

Recently, he has worked with Nelson Mandela and musician Peter Gabriel to appoint prominent global leaders to form a group known as The Elders, tasked with finding solutions to some of the world's long standing conflicts.

Several lessons can be learnt from the achievements of Sir Richard Branson. Firstly, his lack of academic achievement shows that we all have weaknesses, even the most successful entrepreneurs. However, we can overcome these weaknesses by focusing on our key strengths. His was relating to people in a positive way, demonstrated by his tremendous generosity towards his employees mentioned above. Secondly, the best entrepreneurs are those who demonstrate leadership - the better your leadership, the more likely you are to achieve results. Thirdly, a successful entrepreneur does not sit back and admire his achievements but instead is always looking for new challenges.

Watch out for the next 'Spotlight on a Millionaire'.

SPOTLIGHT ON A MILLIONAIRE - CURTIS JACKSON by Festus Sowah

This is the first of the 'Spotlight on a Millionaire' series where I will be showcasing the secrets to a millionaire's success in different spheres around the world to prove my theory that anybody could be a successful entrepreneur with the right attributes and mindset.

The focus in this piece is on New York rapper 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson. By sharing his path to success, I will highlight the transferable attributes and mindset he demonstrated on the road to success that can be applied to internet marketing.

Curtis Jackson was born on July 6 1975 and grew up without knowing his dad. His mum Sabrina, who gave birth to him as a 15 year old, was a drug dealer and was murdered when young Curtis was only 8 years old. Consequently, he was raised by his grandparents in a crowded house of uncles and aunts.

Young Curtis was constantly in trouble with the police for dealing drugs, culminating in a six months stint in a boot camp which helped him avoid serving 3 - 9 years in prison. He was also a keen boxer in his early teens and attributes his competitive nature in rap and life in general to the conditioning he got in boxing. He competed in the Junior Olympics in the mid 1980s. Here, you can see a young man demonstrating competitiveness and courage. Competitiveness in the context of internet marketing include continually looking for ways to enhance self development, learning new techniques to have better results from marketing and setting goals at periodic intervals.

He borrowed the stage name 50 Cent from Kelvin Martin who made a name for himself robbing gangsters. Curtis Jackson has explained that his stage name was a metaphor for change. The rapper commented in Stuff Magazine in 2005 that he chose the name because "I'm the same kind of person 50 Cent was. I provide for myself by any means". This clearly shows a mindset of someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. In the context of internet marketing, doing whatever it takes to succeed could include listening to training calls, increasing your marketing budget, following the system and learning from successful entrepreneurs in your business.

His first break came when he was introduced to Jam Master Jay of Run DMC in 1996. The legendary DJ and producer taught him how to organise, structure and record his songs. Although they didn't release an album together, 50 Cent credits Jam Master Jay as an important early influence in his career. Following 50 Cent's lead, a budding entrepreneur must ensure he aligns himself with a successful entrepreneur as early as possible. He should try as much as possible to get a mentor, if not his sponsor but someone in his upline or he can get one through networking. It is also important to note that 50 Cent had moved away from his drug dealing colleagues by this time which implies that the new entrepreneur must as much as possible distance himself from people that bring little or no benefit to his business.

Three years later, 50 Cent was signed to Columbia Records by successful producers, Trackmasters. He completed the album, Power of the Dollar in 2000 although it was never officially released. By now, 50 Cent was gaining street acclaim, especially as a result of the single 'How to Rob', where the Southside Queens rapper talked about how and why he would rob the top artists of the time. With effort, dedication and hardwork comes success. 50 Cent had not achieved his main goal at this time of making the mainstream, but the little success he was having must have served as motivation for him to keep on going. As an entrepreneur, always have a main goal but also have interim goals or milestones that signpost you to achieving the main goal.

Just as he was about to make a breakthrough, on May 24 2000, 50 Cent was shot 9 times in front of his grandmother's house. He mysteriously survived and began to convince himself he had a purpose in life which was as yet unfulfilled. Even though he was dropped by Columbia Records in the wake of the shooting 50 Cent did not give up and continued to make underground hits backed by the newly formed G-Unit comprising of fellow New Yorkers, Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks. The example we must learn here is that even in the face of considerable setback, we must not give up but continue to have faith in our ability to turn things around. We must persevere and be consistent and the break or success will come.

50 Cent's big break finally arrived in 2002, when rap megastar, Eminem heard one of his mixtapes (underground album). Eminem was so impressed that he introduced the rapper to NWA legend Dr Dre by now a top producer. 50 Cent was subsequently signed to a $1m record deal. 50 Cent could have given up not knowing how close success was after he was shot. Incidentally, he was shot because some highly feared gangsters did not want him to succeed in the rap game as that would affect the sales of their artist's records. 50 Cent ignored the threats and persisted. By being persistent and consistent, an entrepreneur's break will come. We must learn to overcome our fear of failure and be courageous in pursuing our dreams.

In early 2003, the album which was to change his life forever, 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' was released. The lead single from the album 'In da Club' broke all sorts of records, firmly establishing 50 Cent in the commercial mainstream. The album sold nearly 1 million copies in its first week alone, debuting at number 1 on the Billboard chart.

50 Cent has followed up the phenomenal success of 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' by releasing two more platinum albums, the Massacre and Curtis and has also released albums with G-Unit and countless mixtapes. He is planning to release a new album in 2009, 'Before I Self Destruct'. Clearly, 50 Cent is not a man to rest on his laurels. All successful entrepreneurs share this trait of also striving for more. They are never content with present successful and are always pushing themselves to new boundaries.

50 Cent frequently records mixtapes which he allows his fans to download for free over the internet. He is demonstrating a mindset which is crucial to the success of an internet marketer. By using his mixtapes as promotion, 50 Cent is basically offering something of value to his customers to gain customer loyalty. By doing this on a consistent basis, selling his products become easier. Entrepreneurs must firstly focus on providing value to their customers before trying to sell their products.

Mr Jackson's success is not confined to the music business alone. He has other business projects. In 2007, Coca Cola purchased Glaceau, in which 50 Cent had a stake, netting him around $100m after tax, according to Forbes Magazine. He has also been involved in film projects like 'Righteous Kill' with Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino and 'Get Rich or Die Tryin', a film based on his life. A successful entrepreneur will always look to get out of her comfort zone as the motivation of stretching her boundaries to become the best she can drives her on.

50 Cent will undoubtedly continue to be a success. By approaching his music as a business instead of a hobby, the rapper is living the life of his dreams. His mindset and attributes are transferable and will almost guarantee his success in his projects outside of music. His belief and faith in his ability will help him to exercise patience when the going gets tough, his competitiveness will ensure he does whatever is required to succeed in whatever his set his mind to and his courage means failure is not an option.

50 Cent has qualities every entrepreneur needs to be successful and to achieve the life of their dreams and he certain is an example that supports my theory that with the right attributes and mindset anyone can be successful.

How to Make Money From Leadership © by Archie Benten

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don't just jump right in unprepared.

The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who'd have you believe it's a "Walk in the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I'll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?

My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, "what comes first the chicken or the egg"? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don't think many of us do either.

But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

Passion in this sense simply means that you've researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like (or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that usually accompany Passion.

I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I'm concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.

Now, I'm not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.

It therefore follows that, if you have no Passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company, again, you won't attempt to do the work you are being taught.

Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort so that you won't stumble.

You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!

Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don't find it move on, You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.

Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I'll start that business - does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet "guru" does that, don't be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.

Note: By the way it's your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.

Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don't first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.

Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.

Maverick Money Makers is a private society that will teach you how to build a six-figure a month business on the internet.

In this article I will explain what affiliate marketing is and how you can excel in it. First I will start by explaining to you how affiliate marketing works. You basically sign up for a affiliate program from any major retailer and put there banner ads or link ads on your website or blog. The hard part isn't getting accepted by an affiliate program, its making money from that affiliate program.

The first thing you need to do is set up either a website or a blog where you will be putting ads. You need to have viewers before you can really worry about joining affiliate programs. You have to get a steady stream of loyal visitors. Its a great idea to offer a newsletter by e-mail, so you can start building up an e-mail list. Give unique and good content to your audience so they can trust you and keep coming back for more.

Getting the good content comes from good research on a niche. You have to familiarize yourself with the niche. It helps you when your writing content because you know what your talking about at all times. You also can write things like Blog posts and articles much quicker. A tip I can give you is to join forums and learn from the experts on that website. Don't be shy to ask people quesitons in forums either.

Information on how to write SEO friendly content is found here.

Finding a good niche is as simple as staying in tuned to whats popular around the world. There are many tools that people will try and sell you to help you choose a profitable niche. Now I've never bought one of these programs so I don't know if there any good. But I still know how to find a good niche. Using things like newspapers and just using my own head to analyze the world to see what people are willing to pay big money for. Some people have no problem coming up with profitable niche after profitable niche with little effort. Just try and stay up to date on everything. Read newspapers, read magazines, read blogs and watch television.

You can get traffic many other ways rather than just writing SEO friendly material. Traffic can be gotten in a number of ways. You could get traffic just by how well you advertise your website.
