Dear Web Business Newsletter Subscriber,

Since the birth of my daughter back in January, life has gotten pretty busy. My online business has had some great successes, but most of my energy has gone toward my growing family.

Needless to say, projects have been piling up and I have been looking for ways to double and triple up what I am working on to try and get as many projects done as possible. I think I have come up with a combination that you will profit from.

There is nothing like having a specific goal to help focus your work. I want a Dell UltraSharp 2407FPW 24 inch LCD Widescreen Monitor! I also want to get it using money I earn online using nothing but my computer, freely available Internet resources, and my writing skills. Lastly, I don’t want to work for peanuts and wait forever to make this happen. I want the monitor now and I want to earn at least $20/hour for my efforts.

Seven Years to Seven Figures is Michael Masterson’s latest book on the topic of generating personal wealth. He set about looking for seven people who had built up a seven figure annual income and interviewed them about the steps taken to reach this goal in seven years or less.

Article marketing is a low cost strategy to direct traffic to a website and begin to develop one-way backlinks to its pages. For new online ventures it offers a great way to build traffic to a site and to establish its authority in a particular niche.

Article Marketing is also an excellent strategy to quickly get a new site listed in search engines like Google and Yahoo!

The basic process for article marketing is this:

‘5 Bucks A Day’, by Dennis Becker - It is better than ‘The Secret’, it’s the answer to your frustrations with your online marketing efforts.

Picture two people standing behind a row of expensive cars. They can have any one they choose if only they can push it 200 yards.

The first person picks a nice black Lexus and starts pushing. The car barely moves, but she just keeps at it.

“Earn enough money through online marketing to pay for the month’s hosting fees.”

That was my goal back in January of 2006 as I decided to try and find a way to earn a living through my own websites.

I had been working online for over 10 years at that point, but never ran my own online business. My income came from working on websites for other people and a full-time corporate gig.

Are you curious about the value of your website? I came across a link in one of the business forums I visit for a website that claims to be able to evaluate what your website is worth. The site is called the Sootle Web Directory. The box on the right side of the page shows their current estimate for www.AndrewSeltz.com. At the time I am writing this they give it a value of $555.00. Not bad for a domain that wasn’t worth anything except the domain registration fee 12 months ago.

Today I decided to fire up my synchronicity engine and see what it would do for my online business efforts. I made a post on Russell Brunson’s Conquer Your Niche Forum in the Joint Ventures and Special Offers section. The gist of the message was this - I’ve got lots of skills and need to work with other people to create products and businesses using these skills.

“Make Easy Money Online!” “3 Easy Steps To Internet Riches!” “The Secret Money Making System That Google Doesn’t Want You To Know About!”

In Greek mythology the seductive song of the Sirens lured sailors to their doom. Orpheus played his lyre so loud that it drown out the sound and his ship passed on safely. Odysseys had his men stuff their ears with wax to avoid the sound and had them tie him to the mast of the ship so that he could hear their song and resist temptation.

UPDATE: In December 2006, Dennis Becker created a newly revised version of this book and also started a members forum for purchasers of 5 Bucks a Day*. But, Dennis didn’t stop there. He regularly purchases resale rights to products he thinks will be helpful to the forum members and gives them away. There are currently 16 products on the download page - several with master resale rights included. Several of the bonuses alone are worth the price of Dennis’ e-book and they are all included, along with new updates and membership to the forum! This has been a great investment for me! Dennis has also created a blog as well - visit the 5 Bucks a Day Blog to learn what’s new in the 5BaD world.
