Let’s discover if earning residual income is all it’s cracked up to be, and lets look at what complete financial and personal freedom can do for individuals and families. Is complete personal freedom gained through earning residual income worth the effort that’s needed to achieve it?

Having achieved freedom after four years online, I’ll use my own experiences as an example but only because so many of you are no different from me, in background, experience and life. Even though I may not know you personally, I do know that you and I are very much alike. If you’re interested in getting a brief overview of my background you will find it HERE. You will be surprised how similar we are.

Let me ask you a couple of questions.

Have you ever had a conversation a bit like this with your boss and got a positive response? “I know it’s the busy time of the year but I’ve got a once in a lifetime chance to (whatever is really important to you). Can I have three weeks off to go do it?”

Or, are you the owner of a business on Main Street, responsible for the financial welfare of your own family and that of your employees? Could you work only 20 hours a week, and take two months off to go traveling?

Are you on any kind of benefit (disability, veteran, government or employer funded pension) and worried about the security of it, or if the value if it continuing to decrease over the years? Or the inadequacy of it that’s experienced in most every country in the world? Knowing most are asset tested these days does it frustrate you that you cannot add a bit of income on top of it without suffering penalties?

There are many forms of slavery in the world, and the universal ones I’ve demonstrated above are wage, employee and benefit slavery. All of which take away the freedom of choice, and the loss of personal dignity.

At various stages of my life I’ve suffered all of them, and those experiences made me determined to develop an online business earning residual incomes.

Why residuals?

Broadly speaking there are only two ways to generate income:

1) To exchange your time for money. To work for a salary or hourly wage, hence the term wage slave.

2) To duplicate your own efforts through the participation of others.

This is what an employer does, by employing and training others. But in doing so both the employer and the employee become slaves in varying degrees.

It’s really another version of 1) above, so let’s move on to the very few ways to develop both income AND the time to enjoy it.

Unless you’re an author, song writer or singer your options are starting to get a bit limited.

And that’s were the likes of 12SecondCommute come into play because, by promoting essential marketing service suppliers who pay you a commission on the monthly subscription of all the clients you refer to them, you start to get hold of long lasting residual incomes.

If, as in 12SecondCommute, you have the opportunity to develop small teams of affiliates and be rewarded through a multi-tier affiliate commission structure, the real power of residual incomes come into play.

Because now your income doesn’t just rely on your effort, it is proportional on the output of ALL your team.

Now you have secure and long lasting income AND the time to enjoy it.

You move from slavery to freedom. Complete financial and personal freedom if that’s your desire and you’re willing to put the effort in over time to achieve it.

So, how long would freedom take?

Well, for me (and I’m not the sharpest pencil in the pack) it took four years. Others have achieved it in half that time, but I’m not complaining <grin>. In about a week I’m tucking my baby laptop (netbook) under my arm and I’m off wandering and cruising around the world for two months.

I asked the boss (me) and I said “Go for it”, and made arrangement to:

1) Tour through Malaysia into Thailand

2) Gather up my family (and 1 year old granddaughter) for a luxury cruise up through the Norwegian Seas into the Arctic Circle to enjoy the ‘White Nights’ when the sun never fully sets. Then spend another two weeks together enjoying the many experiences in and around Amsterdam

3) Enjoy the wonders of what is probably the most scenic rail trip in the world – the Bernina Express through the Alps between Switzerland and Italy

4) Spend seven days in ‘The Imperial City’, Rome

5) On to HongKong and China to visit friends.

Is freedom worth it? I’ll let you be the judge.

Can YOU do it?

I don’t know (but if I can I find it hard to see why you can’t), but I do know that if you’re looking for the vehicle and the training to achieve it through earning residual income you would be well served by taking up the 30 day free trial 12 Second Commute offers by clicking the link HERE.

You will have a full month to check out what’s offered from the inside and you won’t need you wallet, credit card or any other payment details to take up the trial, so make that small but important move today.

Are you tracking all your advertising? If not you could well be throwing good money down the drain. Let's take a moment to discus why using an affiliate link tracker is so important to you.

Any smart business person knows that an ad is only as good as its ability to generate profits through new sales.

These profits are usually measured in what is called Return On Investment (ROI). An ad campaign is always measured by its ROI and if that ROI is lacking, the ad either goes through dramatic changes or gets dropped by the advertiser altogether.

But the big question is how to track your own ROI.

Most of us spin our wheels placing ads every where we can think of and then hoping we get results. We might even see some sales come in but we don't know where they saw our ad or how they found our site.

When you join 12SecondCommute.com, in addition to powerful unlimited autoresponders,lead generation and other essential marketing tools, you will also be able to track an unlimited number of ad campaigns by using our Affiliate Link Tracker System.

Our Affiliate Link Tracker System will show you exactly which ads are producing results.

When you know which ads are working and which are not, you can focus your efforts on continuing profitable campaigns, tweaking and developing new campaigns, and getting rid of campaigns that are not producing results.

The Affiliate Link Tracker System is included with your 12SecondCommute.com account and can be used to track an unlimited number of ad campaigns:

  • Ezine advertising
  • Signature Lines
  • Banner Ads
  • FFA Page Ads
  • Search Engine Listings
  • Online Classifieds
  • Search Directories
  • Link Exchanges
  • And Much More….

When you know what is working, you know how to spend your time.

Another great use of our Affiliate Link Tracker System is to cloak your affiliate links so that it is not so easy to steal your affiliate commissions. Yes, I know it shouldn't happen but sadly, especially in the Internet Marketing niche, it happens all too often.

Always track your URL's, Affiliate Links and ads – you will protect your profits and increase your profits by doing so.

In the avalanche of technology today that we all have to deal with you may be wondering why you should buy autoresponder and develop a list (database) of prospects and customers. Lets look at a few reasons you may want to consider if you have a business on Main Street, Any Town, or if you have a business on the Internet.

Let’s see if you would agree with me on a few things:

  1. It’s tough to stay competitive. Businesses are failing at an astronomical rate. Customers are more skeptical than ever. They want to know who they are doing business with and they want to know you will be around to take care of their needs.
  2. The days of just throwing up an ad and expecting customers to start buying are pretty well over with and done.
  3. Convenience, credibility, and relationship are some of the biggest factors in where customers decide to do business these days. Getting online is easy. Getting customers to trust you is challenging.
  4. More and more successful businesses are starting to use AutoResponders to increase profits by building rapport, establishing credibility, and nurturing ongoing relationships with prospects and clients.

Is success a giant step to take? An impossible leap? Or is success simply the result of a series of little steps taken over time to change, to take action and to move forward.

I want to use my own story, briefly, to illustrate that success is obtainable to all, if you’re willing to take small and simple steps consistently.

Born on a farm in Southern New Zealand, the son of two alcoholic parents, with a father who was abusive and violent when drunk, born right handed and strapped out of it by a brutal teacher of the ‘old school’ type, I grew up with low self esteem, built in anger, a tendency toward violence, and a dismal record at both primary and secondary schools, in the end not even graduating from what my American friends call, I think, Junior High.

Married, two children, a lousy father and husband, constantly seeking security of a ‘good job’, a surface thinker that formed all his views and beliefs from what he saw on the TV that occupied most of his evenings, I developed an attitude that the world was full of ‘fat cats’ out to get me.

To say I had a negative attitude was an understatement!

I was the guy in winter who ran around turning the room thermostats down saying to my uncomfortable family “Any higher is just a waste of money”

At about 40, after years of limited success professionally, socially and in my family life, a friend gave me a copy of a book by Shad Helmstetter called ‘What to say when you talk to yourself’

The central principle was that the constant chatter of our thoughts and spoken words form our beliefs and consequently our self image and our actions, but that we could change any belief by using positive affirmations daily.

Initially that was all too mystical to me and I put it aside, as any negative thinking skeptic like myself tends to do.

It did sow a seed in my mind though, the thought that there had to be a better way of thinking, a way that would lead to a better and happier life.

But success to me seemed to be a huge challenge!  Let’s face it, up till now I hadn’t seen much of it at all. My experience was ‘getting by’, ‘making do’, ‘saving money’, ‘blaming others’, ‘life’s tough’

And then two mentors came into my life. One was a multi-millionaire I met through a short stint in multi-level marketing, and the other was a country boy from Idaho in the United States called Jim Rohn.

Jim exposed me to a series of principles that were so profound, yet so practical and simple they changed my life and I began to learn about what he called ‘Personal Development’

Personal development, those little steps you take daily to change your life. To change any area of your life.

The little steps where you say to yourself “That’s not so difficult, I could learn that, I could do that”

And little by little your life starts to change. Just a decision, small steps and action.

I won’t bore you with my success, as a reader of this blog you have a fair idea of that, but I will say that I went back to Shad’s book finally, put it into action, changed several limiting beliefs and found I could control my mind, and in doing so, change my future.

But back to those little steps.

Watch and listen now to Jim as he poses four questions for you to ponder, and give then some thought as to how they could help in your life.

With very few hours left to go until 2010 arrives, I wish you all success in the New Year! May it bring all you can dream of, desire and are willing to work towards. May you exceed every goal!

Making money on the web. Confusion Reigns – and Poverty Rules.

I wonder if you're like I was in my early days online as I struggled to start making money on the web? Excited about the possibilities, willing to do what's needed to be done, but quickly overcome by confusion and information overload. So much information! But so much of it in conflict with that other information you got from this or that 'Guru'. Confusion, time lost, money wasted, when you should be regularly making money on the web. If you've been online for anything more than a month you know that feeling don't you? 18 months!  It was 18 months before I realized some fundamental truths exist that lead to anyone making money online. Let me share them with you.

There are no secrets! The obvious has always worked, and they are:

  • The customer is king. If no-one buys you go broke.
  • If no-one looks at your offers, no-one buys
  • Find a hungry crowd! And get in front of them. Lots of them
  • The ONLY thing that matters on the net is Traffic. A flood of willing buyers viewing your offers. Everything else is secondary.

Start with free methods that have worked for years, start making money on the web from them, then reinvest some of that money back into paid methods to further speed up your progress. It's not brain surgery but so many people are missing this foundation fact and struggling to make any progress online that I've just updated and expanded my very well received 'Your Free Traffic Magnets' guide.

Download the guide HERE, put it into action, stay focused and you will be amazed how quickly you can be making money on the web.
