Two Small Words That Bring Big Success

There are certain phrases that get my attention and I find to be amusing. One such phrase is... "as if". I especially find it funny when someone does not believe what they are being told. The "as if" is equivalent to "yeah right".

As I learn more about maintaining a right mind and creating our own success, I realize more and more the importance of living with the "as if" mentality. What's your goal? What do you want most in life? One of the key ways to reach the goal and live the life you want to live is to act "as if" you actually have what you desire.

This philosophy can be used in all areas of life. Do you want to make a major impression at the job? Work and act as if you are already there. How would you work if you were recognized as a top employee? Seeking the ideal partner? How would you act as if he or she were with you right now? Seeking more money? What would you be doing if you had it? Spend time mentally focusing on the answers to these questions. Then act accordingly.

I have been especially focusing on the "as if" and I already see the impacts. There are things I have held back doing because I was waiting until I had the money, the energy, or the time. Shifting my thinking, I acted as if I already had those things. The result has been greater confidence and a more positive mindset. It has also positively impacted some other people around me due to the extra time I was able to give.

The key is not to spend money that you don't have, or wear yourself thin by doing too much. Instead, it is feeling, as often as possible, "as if" you are already living the life you desire, and doing things as if this was the case. It's a matter of using the Law of Attraction naturally to create the ideal life. This is because, according to the Law, the more you feel like you are living the life you desire, you already have what you want, and feel the corresponding positive emotions, the more likely and the more quickly you will see it manifest in your life.

Use these magic words as a guide to help create the life you are seeking. Live as if you already have what you want. Feel the corresponding emotions, and take the corresponding actions. Before long it will be natural, and your life will be at the higher level you desire. Instead of saying "as if" you will be saying "it's real". Enjoy the blessings!

Am I Doing What It Takes To Make Money Online?

The above title is a question many new online marketers ask themselves. First of all, it is very important to take your task seriously and develop the determination and persistence necessary to succeed.

Besides the basics, I believe there are several easy ideas that, if done with the positive attitude and persistence that is necessary, can bring you the success and income you are seeking from online marketing:

1. Blogging - For me blogging is a passion. What is it you are most passionate about? Answer that question, then tell others about it. Share your knowledge, develop a following, and sell yourself and your products on your own personal space. Of all the methods of marketing, this one is my favorite.

2. Article Writing - This one goes hand in hand with blogging. Article sites (I use Ezine Articles and Street Article) allow you to share your knowledge and advertise your blog to a wide audience. It can potentially bring a great deal of traffic to your blog. At times, I have seen a 50% increase in my blog traffic, and I've only been utilizing the article sites for a very short time. I expect that number to increase as I submit more articles.

3. Mail lists - The sales are in the list they say. Don't have your own list? Use other people's lists. Many ezines and marketers have lists that you can pay (usually a reasonable fee) to send a solo ad to thousands of subscribers.

4. Safe Lists - Before I began article writing, I used this free way to advertise products. I suggest you look into this, especially if you are just starting out. My favorites are GOT, Global, and Active safelists.

5. Videos - This is a great way to advertise. It's like doing your own commercial. YouTube has thousands of videos of people marketing themselves and promoting products. If you can make your video stand out, you can bring a great deal of traffic to your site.

These are just a few examples of the easiest ways to begin making money online. The key is to do try different things and see what works best for you. I wish you the best : )

If you are seeking more information about this topic, I would like to share an excellent article I found while researching this on my own. Enjoy!

A Sure Way To Defeat Your Obstacles

Have you ever completed an obstacle course? I always found them fun, yet frustrating at the same time. I had to go around or through several obstacles in order to reach the finish line. I like the challenge of it, though sometimes it seemed a bit long and drawn out. I began to wonder if I would ever make it to the end : )

Isn't that how we often consider obstacles in life? There are some challenges we find interesting, and we enjoy the opportunities they present. In other cases, we dread obstacles because they keep us from reaching the finish line of our dreams and goals. In some cases, we get so frustrated that we give up before we even come close to reaching those goals.

Many will ask...how can we avoid allowing these obstacles to prevent us from reaching our goals? I found a powerful quote today that I believe holds the key..."obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal" - Joseph Cossman. The key is to keep your eyes fixed firmly on the goal. When you do this, nothing or no one will be able to stop you from getting where you want to go.

There are many examples of people who refused to let obstacles get in the way. I am a sports lover, and often see athletes that are so determined to win that they play at a level even higher than their normal greatness. You can often see that look in their eyes, and you know nothing or no one is getting in their way of success.

You too will find success if you simply keep focused on the goal. If you do, you won't even know the obstacles in front of you exist. Even if they linger, you will have little difficulty conquering them.
Many people don't accomplish their goals because the obstacles they face create doubt and fear. When you remain completely focused on the goal, you don't leave room for doubt and fear to creep in. Instead, you only leave room for faith and success.

Keep your eyes fixed on the goal, and refuse to take no for an answer. You will see yourself accomplishing more and more success by following this simple formula. Enjoy the blessings : )

The Secret To Deliberate Creation Review

Are you looking to achieve success and take your life to the next level? If so, I would like to recommend something that can help. It’s called “The Secret of Deliberate Creation”, by Dr. Robert Anthony.

Dr. Anthony is a widely known expert on the power of the mind and using the Law of Attraction. He has written several books, including “Total Self-Confidence”, and “Beyond the Law of Attraction”. I have been a student of Dr. Anthony’s teachings for several years, and by following the principles he provides, I have taken my own life to a higher level.

The greatest strength of Dr. Anthony is helping to develop a positive mindset by using the powerful subconscious mind that we all possess. In “The Secret of Deliberate Creation”, this is one of the main areas of focus. He helps change the negative patterns that have been holding you back to positive ones that will move you ahead.

In “The Secret of Deliberate Creation”, there are 6 discs that provide information and exercises for using the law of attraction, monitoring thoughts, the significance of emotions, maintaining positive energy, how and when to take action, and more. In addition to the Cds, several bonuses are offered, including the books mentioned above, along with 5 of his other publications.

You may be wondering at this time…”how can this program help me”? I believe there are several ways. As mentioned previously, the program is very helpful in re-programming the subconscious and removing negative and limiting beliefs. These thoughts are replaced by positive, empowering beliefs that will increase your confidence. As a result, you will be more inclined to act and move towards your goals instead of procrastinating. The more positive mindset results in greater happiness and satisfaction, more fulfilling relationships, increased income, higher energy and health, and positive benefits in all areas of life.

If there is one negative to this program, it’s that it is quite basic. Also, if you have read any of Dr Anthony’s books, it is very similar to the information provided in those books. However, Dr. Anthony has a way of presenting all of this information in a very easy to understand manner, and makes it all seem very easy to implement. That is why I believe whether you are new to the Law of Attraction and the power of the mind, or you have more knowledge and experience using these guidelines, the information in this program can be very helpful to you.

If you are looking to add happiness and confidence to your life and take it to a higher level, I recommend “The Secret of Deliberate Creation”. For more information, click on this link..

5 Profitable Niche Markets

The art of finding a niche is one of the key ingredients to really making it in online selling. It is true that beginner sellers are much more successful when they appeal to a very small market rather than trying to appeal to everyone.

Finding a niche isn't always easy - it takes time and persistence to find the right product to sell. I read an article from Salehoo which gives you 5 inspiring product niche ideas. While some niche ideas might seem abstract to new sellers, that is exactly what a great niche is - very precise and seemingly difficult to source.

Niche Item #1: Heart Rate Monitors

These are used by athletes, those that spend much time in the gym, or by people who need to closely watch their heart rate.

Why they are an exciting niche item:

• They have a 75% success rate on eBay (75% of all monitors listed on eBay in the last three months sold!)
• They are lightweight and easy to ship and store
• One size fits all

Niche Item #2: Plus Size Maternity Wear

Another plus-size item with huge success on eBay

It's a profitable niche because:

• Maternity and baby gear always works because people are always going to have babies, so you'll never run out of customers!
• Clothing items are easy to ship as they light and not fragile.

Niche Item #3: Plus Size Shoes

Many big-foot's out there find it very difficult to find shoes that will fit them comfortably from regular retail stores.

Why they are a super niche item:

• While these are commonly made by popular shoe makers, stores often order only a handful of pairs in larger sizes, which means that more and more, our big-footed friends must turn to buying online to get what they need.
• They have a high success rate on eBay (women's size 11 sell at 61.9% and men's size 14 at 75%
• Both men and women alike can require plus size shoes (Hot tip: women's size 11+ high heels could make a great little niche)

Niche Item #4: Antique Clocks

Another great collectible item

They are a first-rate niche because:

• You'll appeal to both collectors and home decorators
• They have an eBay success rate of over 67%
• You can often pick these up very cheaply from flea markets and yard sales, then sell them on to make a profit

Niche items really are the way to go for newbie sellers and there are so many out there to keep you interested and best of all, make you money!

Niche Item #5: Military Insignia

Collectibles always make great niches and you can dig really deep to find the best ones. They are also perfect for people who are interested in them - you'll find it much easier and much more rewarding when you sell something you enjoy. To really niche it up, go for US military insignia from the Vietnam War which is big on eBay.

Why military insignia makes an excellent niche:

• It rarely dates or goes out of fashion
• There are so many sub-niches to discover like Russian war medals and World War 2 helmets.

I suggest you look into these areas if you are considering profitable online niches. Please feel free to comment about your level and methods of success. Thanks!

As a side note, if you are looking for companies that supply these items, I recommend joining Salehoo. For more information, check out their site...Salehoo

Can Online Forums Increase Blog Traffic?

I am reading more and more these days of the value of involving yourself with online forums. It's a great way to demonstrate expertise in your niche area. I am also told that it can be a strategic way to increase traffic to your website.

The most helpful article I read is by Yaro Starak called "How to Leverage Online Forums For Blog Traffic."  He outlines 3 helpful steps to accomplish this:

1. Add a photo and signature to the forum you join.
2. Add value to the forum by demonstrating your knowledge and helpful expertise.
3. Promote yourself...indirectly. Do not use the forum as a self-promotion tool. Instead, add your expertise, get noticed, and people will come to you.

The advice makes complete sense. If done correctly, developing a presence in online forums can certainly bring more traffic to your site. For more information, I have included a link to the article. As always, I welcome any comments that would help readers at this site. Have an excellent day!
