Hi Kathy, Now this is a good one Yaaay! It's easy to get discouraged and say I can't do this in the face of disappointments, and failures, but for me? I just keep saying I can! I've been involved with many programs that after I joined I did not want to do them, because I did not enjoy what I was doing. In this business I think one should find their niche, and go with it! Remain focused, on your goals and whats needed to realize them. After networking, I cannot imagine doing anything else! Whenever discouragement trys to seep in, I only have to think; Do I want to work a job for the next twenty years, and have next to nothing, be so worn out I can't do anything but sit in front of the television, or do I want to work for myself for the next 3 years and live the way most people have only dreamed about? Not a hard choice is it?(lol) Helen Smith

Presistance Leads to none other than Success ________________________________________________________________________________________________ LETTER FROM TODAYS SOVERNLIFE E-News Freedom Magazine ================================================================================================= Date: 1 May 2006 02:11:28 -0000 From:"SovereignLife" To:"Conrad" Subject:The SovereignLife Report - Freedom Resources - 1 May 2006 Online MoneyMaking: The Opportunity Survey Report You may recall that a couple of months back I canvassed readers of this newsletter on the subject of internet business opportunities. I was interested to know what success, if any, individual people were having in making money online. My reasons were twofold: I was keen to get "inside" info on what may be working for others, in case I wanted to add such to my own online income portfolio. And I wanted to investigate further any interesting opportunities and report back to you - in case it was something you may want consider yourself. To recap: I was interested in hearing from anyone who was making US$500 or more each month from an internet business. And in particular, a business that was available to anyone, anywhere in the world - and which didn't cost a "King's Ransom" to get started or maintain. Well, the response was a little disappointing - in that there was very little that met my "qualification" criteria. I guess this could be a reflection of reality, and how difficult it is to REALLY make more than $500 per month online. Quite a few people told me of various "investment" opportunities they were involved in - but I had asked for info on business opportunities, not investments. The search for the ideal business opportunity for the average motivated person seemed to be as elusive as ever. I'd heard from people running their own businesses and making a great go of it. I'd heard from people making money from various investments - and in some cases dubious schemes. I'd heard from a couple of people making a success of affiliate marketing. But I had not heard much from anyone who could show me a business which was duplicable, and capable of being operated from any place on earth - without breaking the bank. In fact, only ONE reply actually met my stated bizopp search criteria - globally available, low financial outlay, easy to learn and duplicate etc. But when I first looked at it, I dismissed it as too obvious, too basic. However, this guy told me of his personal experience, how he had been doing it for just under a year - and how he was now making around US$1,000 a month residual income and growing. More importantly, he was still exhibiting considerable enthusiasm - which I know is the first casualty in any business that is NOT working as hoped. If you've still got enthusiasm after a year, then it can only be because what you're doing is working! Given this personal endorsement, I pricked up my ears and asked a few more questions - and revisited the website to see if I could work out for myself WHY this was working, when so many other opportunities were not. Finally, it dawned on me. It was SIMPLE - and its simplicity was the reason for its success. It was also offering something that many people actually want, or just like the idea of having. And more importantly, it appeared to be well organised with lots of promotional tools and systems already in place. But best of all, it was easy to understand and very affordable. I've tried opportunities that cost me $1,000 to get involved, and a further $200 a month to keep qualified for commissions. I've tried others where a $100 or so each month was normal. So, it was with some surprise when I learned how this opportunity only cost $10 each month to maintain, with no upfront cost - and no hidden charges. More importantly, I could see the value in what was on offer - that it was not overpriced in respect of other similar offerings on the market. Even better, it was seriously pitched at the global market - both in terms of the product on offer, the pricing, and the marketing system which caters for many different languages I started to realise that all these factors, and the overall simplicity of the system, must be the explanation behind this particular reader's success with this business. Of course, on the website I was able to read many more enthusiastic stories from real people - all saying a very similar thing. I was forced to rethink my original assumption - that it seemed too obvious and simple, and realised that perhaps these features were precisely WHY it was working for apparently so many people from all over the world. At first I thought, "How can anyone make money, when the item for sale is such a low price?" But I was ignoring the repeat, ongoing nature of each sale, and how such could grow to a meaningful residual income over time. And I was ignoring the size of the market for this, both in terms of the product and the opportunity. The business describes itself as a 5 tier affiliate programme. However, most affiliate programmes are 2 tier, which means this could be more realistically described as network marketing. But I guess there is a fine line between affiliate programmes that pay on more than one level, and network marketing programmes paying on many levels. Having said that, it's a very simple network plan, not convoluted and complex like most others. The product is simple. What's on offer is your own domain name; a website hosting service; a web page template system for easy creation of a personalised website (if you don't want to build your own); and up to 10 email addresses. All of this works seamlessly and is geared to anyone, without the need for a high level of technical skill. It appeals to a variety of people: those who simply want to create a family website and give personalised email addresses to everyone; those who want to create an internet presence for their existing offline business; those who want to start their own internet business; those who want to build additional revenue streams using other domains; and those who want to promote the business on offer itself. The total package is $10 a month - an amount that anyone can afford. I found this to be a perfectly reasonable price - as I already have three domains which cost me around $15-$25 a year each to maintain. And I already use four different hosting services - for which I pay between $9 and $19 a month for. I also see how this package can be successfully integrated into other moneymaking opportunities. So I decided to try it myself. I can easily afford $10 a month to work this business. And given that so many people ARE making good money with it, it appears to offer a legitimate opportunity that can be carried on by anyone, anywhere in the world - for less than the price of a cup of coffee each week. Sure, I don't need this business. I have my own successful one already. However, I am keen to test it for myself - and will NOT snub my nose at the opportunity to build a $1,000 plus a month residual income. Besides, many people are making considerably more than that, so the potential has plenty of upside. The business is called Global Domains International (GDI) - and it's certainly not new (which is a good thing). So, if you've been looking to get a foothold into online moneymaking, then this could be just the thing you've been looking for. And if you've looked at it before, and passed it by like I originally did, then perhaps you should take a second look. I've already uploaded a business page of my own to the new domain I got with the business package - which you can see here: http://www.conradvienot.ws However, if you want to learn more about the GDI business itself - and how you can get involved - then you should go to this link for a full overview: http://www.website.ws/conniesite Apart from the many testimonials on offer, the description of the product and the compensation plan, you'll also note that they offer a 7 day free trial - so you can see how the system works from the inside without any risk. I've got some pretty good ideas on how to make this business grow - so, of course, anyone who joins me in this venture will be privy to those ideas and strategies as I develop and test them. If you've got a internet connection, you can view an online video here: http://www.freedom.ws/conniesite Like I said. This is a simple business concept, aimed at a broad, global market. The "cost of entry" appeals to many people from all walks of life, in different countries, and speaking different languages. The product has broad appeal also - and the business system is a great illustration of simplicity itself. If you've been looking for a way to make $500 or more in residual income each month, are prepared to work on a long-term project and stay the distance, then I suggest you take a serious look at this and make up your own mind. I'll report back in a few months and tell you how I'm doing :-) Fortune smiles on those who ACT.
