Forever Concepts

I am really excited. As many of you know I am a big fan of traffic exchanges. I belong to well over 100. Recently I was honored to be asked to be a JV Partner for a new traffic exchange called Forever Concepts. Joseph Riley is the owner. His motto for his exchange is "Because We Can." His traffic exchange also helps support Kiva.org which make micro loans to entrepreneurs in all parts of the world. I loved the concept and joined immediately.

Another unique feature of the exchange is the wealth of training and other resources available to the membership.

I urge you to take a look at this remarkable traffic exchange.

The Continuing Story of our Internet Marketer

After doing the same thing over and over again our fearless marketer finally came to the conclusion that doing all this over and over was insane. What he desperately needed was some truth about what works and what does not.

While surfing he came across a splash page advertising free internet marketing courses.

He thought to himself, "Wonder what this really costs, what do you get for free that is worth anything?" Then he remembered spending hundreds of dollars for videos, auto-responders, hosting with no support, etc. etc.

He thought to himself "Maybe free may be ok, what do I have to lose?" He filled out the information on the splash page and was sent to a site called Moneylegs. He read over the site and joined.

Once he had confirmed his membership, he started looking over the site. He found the section about conferences and training, then he attended a Sunday night conference and felt like he had come home.

Friendly people sharing their success tips, encouraging him, and best of all not asking for any money. How refreshing. Our fearless marketer began attending more conferences and training sessions over the next several weeks.

He then broke it all down for himself into 3 simple steps.

Next week 3 steps to success.

So You Want to be an Internet Marketer

So You Want to be an Internet Marketer


So you have decided you want to be an internet marketer. You've seen the ads on TV for people making 5-10 thousand a month from the comfort of their homes. Basking by the swimming pool outside of their palatial estate with a bright sun shining down on their success. Perhaps you've seen similar ads while surfing or searching the net.

You send for information or signup for the program and go to sleep that night dreaming of the success and money that will soon be yours with all of the people above you helping you to build your business. Dreams of dollar bills floating down from the heavens penetrate your sleep. Ahh what a wonderful life!

You wake up excited thinking about your dreams. You go to your Just Over Broke saying to yourself, "I'll soon be telling my boss where to take his job! I'm going to be rich in this internet marketing program" "Free riches for all". You can hardly concentrate on your job for you are thinking of the riches promised you that your sponsor was going to help you gain.

You get home and eat and get on the computer and check your email and PayPal account looking for the money your sponsor made for you while you were at work. After all you were promised massive spillover and riches beyond compare.

Nothing, no emails, no PayPal notifications. You email your sponsor asking why you have made no money. You hear nothing for a couple of days. Then you get another series of emails saying you need to get this autoresponder program, your own website, a splash page maker and information that you are supposed to share with your family and friends.


So you spend more money; $20 for an autoresponder, $20 for hosting, $15 for a splash page maker, and then wonder how you are supposed to make them all work. You ask your sponsor and he says look at the instructions. Oh, and if you want training, he has a series of videos you can download for $297 that will guarantee you success if you follow them. So you spend the money and discover that they are complicated and hard to understand. All this html stuff , meta tags, keywords etc. Again you contact your sponsor and he says " it simple just follow instructions" and then hangs up on you. So you try again and start thinking I must really be a dummie. Meanwhile you've contacted your family and friends and are met with comments, such as "what a fool you are you fell for that hype, or how much have you made, or when you start making money let me know".

You keep trying and trying and nothing happens, you finally got a website up and wonder why you're not getting any traffic, sales or signups. You contact your sponsor again via email and it bounces back to you, alarmed you try and login to your affiliate site, only to discover that this domain is not available.

Disgusted you say to yourself, what a fool I am. I'll not fall for those scams again.

A few months later you get an email from your old sponsor who tells you the company took off with everyone's money but he has a sure fire program that just started and thousands are being made by those getting in now. You think to yourself, well I've got to make up my losses, let me try this again.

And again and again and again ...

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Well we are well into the New Year and I thought I'd take some time to finally write this article. The title probably tells you where I am going with this. The information here is written for internet and network marketers. However, this really applies to any area of your life.

You are where you are today, because of what you did yesterday.
Today will determine where you are tomorrow.

Simply concepts? Yes. Do we seriously try to apply these priciples in our lives? Only you can answer that question.

Were you floudering around on the net last year? (Yesterday)
Are you now wondering why you are not successful now? (Today)
Where will you be next year? (Tomorrow)

or

Last year did you set goals with steps to achieve them? (Yesterday)
Are you making more now than last year? (Today)
Will you continue what worked to acheive more success next year? (Tomorrow)

The choices are yours. Choose Wisely !
