And the sad part is that these so-called million dollar gurus rip off these newbies and they completely quit on their dreams of becoming a millionaire online.

On the other hand statistics have proved from time to time that internet has made possible for an ordinary average guy to achieve financial freedom.

So what’s the secret ? What’s the truth ? Is it possible to reach an internet millionaire status or is it just a big B.S. ?

Yes, for sure, internet has the horse power to create millionaires.

I will show you a simple 6-step system that BIG named internet millionaires have used to create millions of dollars.

Lets get started to achieve your million-dollar dream…

Step 1 – Create a simple lead-capturing minisite in your niche that you’re targeting. Create a package worth $97 and give it for FREE to your subscribers.

Step 2 – Use a smart autoresponder where a visitor to your site has to subscribe to your list to receive your $97 free gift.

Step 3 – As soon as the visitor subscribes to your list follow up with an ecourse that contains quality information. Promote your own product or an affiliate product in the ecourse.

Step 4 – Promote your lead capturing minisite and start building your subscriber list.

Step 5 – Create an ezine or a newsletter every week and blast it to your list. Make sure your ezine contains quality information that earns you your subscribers trust and builds your credibility.

Step 6 – Blast an offer or sales pitch to your list periodically and sell them something. Please DO sell something and don’t feel shy asking your subscribers for money.

Here’s how this 6-step system can make you millions.

After applying this system for 1 year lets say you create a list of 10,000 subscribers.

Now you promote an offer to your list every week and sell them something.

Lets say this week you planned to sell a quality affiliate product in your niche, which makes you $20 commission.

Out of 10,000 subscribers just 1% responded to your offer and purchased your product.

This means you’ll instantly sell 100 products by just clicking a button. It won’t take you more than 1 hour to create a killer offer and blast it to your list.

With a profit of $20 per product you will end up making $2000 instantly with the 100 products that you sell by just clicking on the ‘Send’ button.

If you just promote 1 product per week you will end up making $2000 every week. That leads to $8000 minimum, per month.

What if you created a list of 100,000 subscribers using this system ?

What if you promote a product with a $100 net profit and blast it to your list ?

I am sure, you can now see your 1 million-dollar dream come true.

With this kind of system in place you can easily approach your goal of 1 million dollars or more within few years of creative efforts.

So read this article once again, pull up your sleeves and get started today.

1) The first thing you need is book publish software
http://www.adobe.com/products/indesign/
>> Every day, more graphics professionals, publishers, and print service providers are discovering that Adobe InDesign is a leap forward in page layout software. Get more information on the benefits of switching from QuarkXPress and Adobe PageMaker, as well as resources to aid you in making a smooth transition to InDesign.

http://www.quark.com/
>> The first thing to get straight when evaluating QuarkXPress 7 is that with three million registered users worldwide, Quark is more focused on keeping existing customers happy than on converting Adobe InDesign users to QuarkXPress. While many people have switched to InDesign, many more have stayed with QuarkXPress, just biding their time. The newly released QuarkXPress 7 is what they’ve been waiting for.

After you get the layout software, you can write your story and insert your pictures , add your graphics and element.

2) Picture resolution

the picture or illustration of your book need high resolution.e.g : 3″ x 3″ image in your page layout need around 4.4 mb
e.g: dscn8461 270,230KB photoshop image
dscf3326 113KB jpeg
make sure that you are using photoshop format or tif format, you can see the DSCN8461 is 27mb, good for A5 size image. The DSCF3326 is just a 113K jpg which can do nothing for your book.

If you are scanning image by scanner , pls remember that you select tif format and using 350 x 350 dpi ( 1:1 )

PSD = photoshop file
Tif = tiff file
Jpg = jpeg file

You see I have written 7000 online articles now and well this attack on what I believe in and my hobby is a little unnerving to say the least.

This is personal now and no credit, kudos or slack can be given and we must have a strong reciprocal response to Ms. Lawrence’s accusations aggressively attacking article authors. I say; full speed ahead. Fire at will and show the enemy the will and strength of honor.

We must unite in a common cause to defeat the detractor. Slam the bad guys into submission, attack and annihilate them all! We cannot allow censorship of material by professional writers or allow them to detract online article submission websites.

We cannot allow professional parasites to tell us what to write, how to write it or what to charge in doing so. We cannot allow anyone to destroy or condemn this new fast moving trend. We must therefore write more and use our writing to defend. Please consider all of this in 2006.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STYLEBOOK AND LIBEL MANUAL, edited by Norm Goldstein, is a mainstay for countless writers. The information is alphabetized and, like a dictionary, bold letters and headings guide your way. This resource will keep you out of trouble and help you to write clearly.

THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE by William Strunk, Jr. and E.B. White, first published in 1979, is a Bible for many writers. It’s packed with practical information on style, such as how to avoid redundant expression and not injecting your personal opinions into copy.

HOW TO WRITE A BOOK PROPOSAL by Michael Larsen, will help you get noticed by publishers. New writers will be especially interested in the section called “Nine Criteria for a Salable Idea.” If your idea meets these criteria then you can move on to writing the proposal.

WRITER’S DIGEST GUIDE TO MANUSCRIPT FORMATS, by Dian Dincin Buchman and Seli Groves, will help you generate a crisp, appealing manuscript. This resource is divided into three main sections: books, short forms (magazine articles, short stories, poetry, greeting cards, anecdotes, photographs, recipes), and scripts.

WRITING DOWN THE BONES by Natalie Goldberg has helped many writers to hone their craft. Goldberg guides writers gently through the initial thought process, practice, secrets of creativity, and more. After you’ve read Goldberg’s book you’ll feel like a writer.

WRITERS GUIDE TO INTERNET RESOURCES by Vicki Phillips and Cindy Phillips is, according to Amazon, “a road map to all kinds of wonderful sites for writers.” Having this resource on your book shelf opens up an Internet world and saves you time.

WRITE RIGHT! by Jan Venolia is, as the subtitle states, a “desktop digest of punctuation, grammar and style.” Venolia dedicates her book to “those who have to struggle a bit.” Using this resource isn’t a struggle because the content is numbered and the explanations are clear.

You need three more resources on your shelf: a thesaurus, an old dictionary, and a new one. The old dictionary will help you to understand archaic words, the new dictionary will help you to understand technical terms and current slang.

All of these resources will help you do your work, get it to market, and hopefully, sell it. Good luck!

First, the bad news: There are dozens of ways you can go wrong in writing and designing (what you hope will be) an effective sales letter, web sales page, promotional flyer or ad.

Now the good news: The learning curve for getting it right is relatively short. Here are some key guidelines and pointers for getting noticed, generating interest, and persuading people to respond to your offer.

Create Visual Appeal

In a matter of seconds, your prospects will make a snap decision on whether or not they want to read your marketing message. If they have to strain or struggle in any way, they’re going to skip it. Avoid a cluttered, hard-to-read appearance by making generous use of white space, headlines, subheads, and text bullets. Use italics and ALL CAPS sparingly because, when used in excess, they can be hard on the eyes. For web pages and flyers, avoid too much large print (it looks amateurish), and be careful with your use of colored or textured backgrounds. If the background competes with the text or lacks contrast, the message will be too hard to read. And if you use 10 point text or smaller…well, let’s just hope you’re not targeting us aging baby boomers!

Writing Style Tips

After you’ve written the first draft, you can improve it by eliminating unnecessary or redundant words, breaking up long sentences, checking for spelling and grammar errors, adding impact with a few carefully chosen adjectives, and making sure each idea flows logically into the next. A conversational tone is usually much more appealing than a formal, stilted approach; and you should always gear the message to the intended audience. One of the big advantages of targeting your marketing to specific groups is that you can ‘talk their language’ and relate the message directly to their emotional and practical needs and wants.

Devices to Capture Attention and Arouse Interest

An effective sales message, whether it’s on a web page or 24-lb stationery, usually contains the following elements: a compelling headline, attention-catching sub-headlines, a bulleted list of features and benefits (with proof, whenever possible), a few intriguing questions, a deadline or incentive for responding promptly, a guarantee of satisfaction, a testimonial or endorsement, and a call for action (tell them exactly what and how you want them to respond: call, stop by, visit your website, or mail their order.) Words such as ‘no obligation’, ‘free trial’, and ‘convenient payment plans’ can also increase response levels. By the way, a ‘P.S.’ is a great place to put a reminder, a special offer, or an added incentive. People read them.

A Vital, Sometimes Overlooked Ingredient

One of the cornerstones of any effective marketing strategy is identifying and clearly communicating your Unique Selling Proposition or distinctive selling advantages. Make it clear why you’re better and offer more than the competition. Emphasize your competitive strengths as a business, an individual, or as the provider of high quality services or products. In today’s competitive marketplace, it’s essential to exceed customer expectations, find ways to lower sales resistance, and have a value-added approach to doing business.

Sell Your Articles Online

If you have confidence in your writing ability then you can write articles on any subject that interests you and sell them to companies online. Studies show that people look for information on the Internet. If you have special skill or knowledge about computers, marketing, cooking, saving money or getting fit, then you can sell your knowledge.

Two places to start are Associated Content and Constant Content.

Associated Content (www.associatedcontent.com) allows you to sign up for free. You then submit your article into the form and within a few days or weeks you can get an offer for your article. You can offer exclusive rights meaning that you give all right to Associated Content or AC as it is sometimes called. You can also give non-exclusive rights to AC. This means that the same article can be sold again and again to different companies, not just to Associated Content. Reselling the same article is one of the best ways to make money as a writer. AC pays you though Paypal which most people find more convenient than waiting for a check to be mailed.

Constant Content (www.constant-content.com) works a little differently. Sign-up is free and you can submit your articles on the Constant Content or CC form. But with CC you only make money if the article is sold to a third-party. Constant Content is more of a middle-man and a place where you can showcase your writing. Constant Content gets 35% of all sales. (Originally it was 50%.) One good thing about CC is that you get to name your price. If you want to sell exclusive rights to your article for $25 or $100 then do it. If you want to sell non-exclusive rights for $12 then that is your choice and every time some buys your article you make $12, minus the commission to CC. One thing to note- CC has a $50 threshold. You will be paid via Paypal only when your account balance reaches $50 or more.

Calls for Submissions

Both Associated Content and Constant Content have sections on their websites listing articles wanted. Companies in need of stories on particular subjects will have a call for submissions that discusses the topic, the word count and the amount the company will pay. If you are interested simply write the article and submit it as you would any article. If your article is accepted you will be paid for your work.

Associated Content and Constant Content are two ways you can start earning money with your writing. As your confidence and clips (published article) increase, you can move on to more lucrative markets like magazine or newspapers. It is possible to make a full time living as a freelance writer. With writing skill and perseverance you can make money with your writing.

Start by picking a theme that will be timely for your niche audience. The reason our panel consisted of women was that the event, called an IT (Information Technology) Tea was one in a series of presentations put on by a local technology publication that has been working to bring together women involved in the technology field. The theme for our presentation was “Doing It Her Way” and involved women entrepreneurs working with IT. Therefore, the attendees were all receptive to our topics and what we had to offer. Good listeners that hang on almost every word are a speaker’s dream.

Pick panel members with forethought. The meeting planners had obviously chosen our panel with many criteria in mind. Even though we all had the common thread of entrepreneurship and IT, we each had different types of companies, different backgrounds, age differences and different approaches to business.

We did, however, have other qualities in common that were obvious. All are passionate about what we are accomplishing and love talking about it. We were all interested in each other (none of us had met before) and no one tried to dominate the discussion. We could all laugh at ourselves and yet be serious about our directions. I feel that it was obvious to the audience that we were enjoying the afternoon as much as they were.

Prepare, prepare, prepare. Organize, organize, organize. It is my firm belief that the success of a panel undertaking depends upon prior preparation. The woman who pulled our presentation together told us to the minute when and how long we would be speaking. She wrote the introductions and sample questions for the moderator and made copies of everything for each of us. She had an excellent sound system set up with an extra microphone for the audience, and when we got to the Question and Answer part (with sufficient time set aside for this portion of the presentation), she had planted a few questions with audience members to get the ball rolling – which it did.

You’ve been asked to be part of a panel, so how do you prepare? Yes, even though as a panel participant you don’t know for sure what the other panelists are going to say, or what questions will be asked, it is as important, as always, to be prepared. We were fortunate because we had timelines and biographies of the other panelists beforehand. But we had no idea about what or how the others would speak. Each of us brought notes and had a strong opening and closing statement (sort of a motto for our lives and our businesses).

Because you are not the only show, be ready to have fun with the other panelists and be flexible enough to change parts of what you might have said to balance the whole presentation. Each of us made it plain to the others and the audience that we felt honored to be asked to be part of this panel and we all took the opportunity to work together to make the afternoon worthwhile for everyone.

That’s a successful panel!

Freelancing is a simple concept.
If you have a talent, but you can’t (or don’t) want to work long-term, freelancing is the alternative. You can exchange your valuable services for money, without having to stay with long-term with any company. Say, for example, you’re a writer. You want to write articles, but not do as part of a company. So you decide to become a freelance writer. But how does it work? Where do you start? That’s what you’ll learn in this article.

Freelancing is simply this; working for a temporary employer to do the project(s) they hire you for. That’s all there is to it. You don’t stay with your employer after you’re done, which is why so many college students freelance. You can finish up however many projects your doing, then take a brake if you want (something you can’t do when you’re with a company).

Freelancing was revolutionized by the Web. Just by typing “Freelance” into a search engine, you can find lists of sites that offer you the ability to sell your work, or customize your talents for people who need some specific kind of creation (like a corporate identity, or web page, or article).

Nifty idea, but how exactly does it work?

The nice thing about online freelancing is that you don’t have to be Computer-savvy, to work these websites. Once you find a freelance site (let’s say for example, www.writerlance.com), your first step is to register there. Some sites require you to subscribe (which usually means cough up money) to get work, but on most, you can register for free. Once you do that, your next step is to create your payment information. When you complete a project as they’re called, the person hiring you, has to send you the money. There are a couple ways to do this. You can register on sites like www.PayPal.com. When you sign up on a site like this, you can give out your e-mail address, as well as your street address, and when someone pays to your e-mail address, you receive the money! (I don’t go into detail, because sites like www.PayPal.com usually explain how everything works).

As for the freelance sites themselves, once you register, you have access to a control panel; from there you can keep track of everything, such as bids (Which I get to in a minute), payment info, and just about anything relating to you on the site. Once you register, and get your payment info filled out, you’re ready to roll!

Alright, everything’s set up, but how do you actually get work?

OK, so you’re registered and you have your payment options filled out correctly, right? Now, it’s time to get some work. Look around the site; see if you can find a listing of projects. That or you can search for keywords (like “Article”, “Logo Design”). Once you find a list of projects, look for whatever interests you, whether it’s website design, programming, graphic design, or writing, you’re guaranteed to find something, if you look hard enough.

Once you find the project(s) you want, your next step is to bid on them. Sadly, you can’t just take up a project, you have to put your name down, how much payment you’ll need to complete the project, and how fast you can deliver; then after a set number of days, the project owner looks at the list of people who did put their names down, and decides who gets the project. This process is as I referred to it earlier, “bidding”. When bidding, you leave a message for the project owner, telling them why you’re the choice for their project. You can go one step further, and communicate with them using what’s called a Private Message Box, or PMB. A PMB is like e-mail. You can transfer messages back and forth between yourself and the project leader. It’s a great way to post any references you have, without having to share them with the whole world. It also lets you ask questions about the project, and make detailed messages, which you can’t do through your bid messages.

Those are the basics of any good freelancing website. There are more tools on the sites than what I’ve shown here, but you’ll just have to get out there are check it out yourself!

There a lot of options for these sites, and just as many freelance websites through the Internet, but it takes a great freelancer writer for them to work. It’s always tough to start on freelance sites; it takes time, and patience, so make sure you’re up for the challenge.

If writers has to use a dictionary or a thesaurus, that means that they do not know the word. They have not experienced its denotations and particularly its connotations. For a true understanding of a word it must be a part of the active as well as the passive vocabulary. One knows many more words than are used in speech, and these passive words are as important as the active ones. These are the words to use.

This does not mean that you should never use the dictionary or the thesaurus, but it does mean that they should be used to check, to clarify, and to refine the composition. If any doubt exists of the words appropriateness, it should not be used. The insight will not be there.

A study of the great writers will make it apparent that they knew and understood the words they used. They considered carefully the words, and they studied words until they became a part of their vocabulary, both passive and active. Of course, this means that the writer is always studying words, always interested in words, always using new words, maybe even creating some.

Nevertheless, the old adage “Keep It Simple Stupid” is an important one for writers when it comes to choosing words.
