Change Your Life for Automatic Sources of Income

I am Dusko Savic, professional astrologer, author of 25 books in computing and using computers. I have a degree in Numerical Mathematics and I can write computer programs, design sites etc. Married, two children. I am also a healer, Reiki master of many modalities, profficient with pendulum etc. etc. My specialty in astrology is medical astrology, and I frequently use and/or advise Bach Flower Essences, which I have found one of the main tools for making life better in general

Recently, I have joined ListDotCom.com. I purchased Diamond membership right away by bying MYOS. (I still had no time to try myself at it but I will.) But, the better part is that I finally was able to download and read Joe Kumar's '30 Days to Internet Success', which affected me deeply. (In case you haven't read it, you must, it is such an eye opener! I do not know for sure, but I presume you can download it from listdotcom even if you are not a Diamond member as I am.) The one strategy that I adopted was from Stone Evans, this idea of Profit Pulling Plug In sites. It is a generic site, fairly plain looking, but shock full of articles written by Stone. The idea is that 160000 new people come to Internet every day, and if you can help them find your site, they will be thankful. And how do you make money with a Plug-In Site? There are five links to SFI, Traffic Swarm, Empowerism, Internet Marketing Center and the like, and whenever someone clicks through them and buys something, you get a slice of the pie. Some of these affiliate programs are residual, meaning that as long as you are a member you are going to get a piece of the income created by your downline. So this is not free, you are expected to pay about $150 each month to these various membership sites, in order to be able to -- eventually -- pull out of it much, much more. (Actually, you really have to pay 25 for Empowerism and 25 for Host4Profit hosting, the rest you do not have to pay for, but then you lose your position in the uplines and downlines.

That is how you invest in your Plug In Profit Site, but how do you make money through it? Well, the money is in the list, but to make the members of your list happy, you must have content to send them regularly to, through your ezine or newsletter. Stone first forces you to get an account at GetResponse and then to immediately upgrade it to PRO ($17 monthly), but the payoff is great: he preloads your account with 201 articles (this is the exact number), that are being sent every other day to the members. That is for more than 400 days in advance! (These articles remind me very much of some Lary Dotson's articles -- 10 Ways to Do This or That -- but the quality is high and it seems people like to read them.) So it solves the problem of content. (If you want to see how this works, send an email to mailto:duskosavic@getresponse.com).

I chose the name of the Home Marketing Guide, both for the site www.homemarketingguide.com and for the newsletter. However, I will not stop at that: I intend to write about my journey to success using the Stone's path. He says he delivers years of Internet Marketing experience and I believe him: he is now reported to receive more than 1 million bucks a year and he is using exactly the same site as mine! In his advertising he promises $5000+ per month -- oh, I'll joyfully settle with that any time! It is not that I cannot earn money through my astrology practice -- I can -- but I am limited to existing working hours, and when I am ill there will be no money either... So, it is imperative to make an automatic source of income, and that is the appeal of Stone's Path.

How is this different to everything else? Stone points you to the only way of making money regularly on the Net: you must have a list, a site, the goods to sell, and traffic to the site or a way to increase the number of subscribers. The majority of activity is getting subscribers to your GetResponse account. And, how does he do that, I hear you ask? Well, he buys the subscribers from ListOpt, PushButtonsLeads and LeadFactory! Simple, and I'll tell you, it seems much too simple! That means he spents 3-600 bucks a month to get new 1000 or 1500 subscribers, but he is richly rewarded: from 1500 subscribers he typically milks as follows:

5 Marketing Course (IMC) Sales = $390 in commissions. *
52 IAHBE (SFI) Sales = $416 in commissions + residual. *
61 Warrior/Host4Profit Sales = $610 in commissions + residual. *
13 TrafficSwarm Sales = $65 in commissions + residual. *
89 Madison Dynamics Sales = $1909.05 in commissions + residual. *
$3455.05 in commissions just for letting my e-mail sales letters do their job! *


Is the money in the list? Yeah, verily, Yeah.

Well, that's Stone, he's much more ahead of the game and his system works for him. What I want to see is whether this will work for me if I apply myself and start working at it. What do I have to do? In case you did not read the books, I'll spell it out here:

Monday -- Grow and manage your pay-per-click campaigns
Tuesday -- Create reciprocal links.
Wednesday -- Setup ezine solo ads.
Thursday -- Devote this day to forum networking.
Friday -- Write your weekly article.
Saturday -- Submit your article.
Sunday -- Smile and take a day off.

There you have it -- the best Internet Marketing activities combined, a synergy if you like. After the first 30 days you continue to do that and that is it! That is what I like at the whole scheme: you finally KNOW what to do, when and where in order to be successful. Once I've read a phrase "swimming in the ocean of Internet Marketing" and I liked it very much. There is so much what you can do, there are so many ways of losing yourself while surfing, downloading and the like... The Stone's Path is your sword to cut all the B.S. through: you get a job at home, all you need is a computer and Internet access, but the income is exponentially higher that any other job you might have, since the autoresponders work for you 24/7/365 and beyond.

Please note that you devote one full day to exactly one type of activity. That is what made Henry Ford so rich: separation of physical activities. First you automate yourself by doing only type of a task, then everything else becomes automated. That is the secret of making yourself rich and until you cannot do that, you will not be rich -- as simple as that! Now I hear your huge sigh of relief: I cannot leave my day job, my family will starve if I do, see Dusko, you are talking OK, but I just can't do it! Then do as I do right now: I am writing this at 0:49 AM while my family sleeps. My eyes are getting blurred but no matter: on Monday I start walking on the Stone's Path and I invite you to do so as well. At first I'll have two different 'bubbles' of activity -- one is astrology, the other is for the Internet and then, hopefully, the Internet will prevail.

This is a path to success but it will cost you in many ways. Working at home can be problematic, please read the related articles at www.HomeMarketingGuide.com. What will it cost me right now? Well, I decided to stop that vicious circle of surfing, downloading this and that, checking the email and clicking all those links so full of promise. (Ironic, don't you think -- I do not want to do exactly what I want my subscribers to do!) From now on, I'll use the Internet and not the other way around. But I'll miss these days of my Internet infancy: a few months ago I unsubscribed from practically all the lists that I was subscribed to and the email box was so empty and sad...

It's all about change of your life. In astrology, Uranus is the planet of both change and astrology as such, so my clients are always on the verge of change. Some get married, some divorce; some are worried about their jobs or careers, the others ask whether to go abroad. Having some chronical illness is a sure sign that you are not living your life as you should -- the need to change everything is paramount in such situations. Here, we are not so drastical, we're talking of a career change only: it will not happen in the real world unless it happens first at your head and mindset. There are two tools (healing techniques, if you will) to initiate change: Bach Flower Remedies and Reiki.

Well, that's it for my first post. Please look up this place often and be sure to send me your ideas, criticisms and anything else my writing provokes at you.
