FORWARD TO VOLUME 1 OF 2

You are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime!

For the past month I worked on this book about eighteen hours a day, every day. When I began to write I had no idea how long the book might end up being. As it turned out, it became a far too long to fit into a single Volume. I decided to split it into two Volumes, each designed to stand alone, each designed to contain key information of equal value to newbie and experienced internet marketer alike.

Each Volume is in itself a rather long book, 90,000 words give or take a few. To someone new to internet commerce, this must seem pretty overwhelming. I was torn between two Volumes or splitting this book up even further into a number of smaller books, a series if you will. From a commercial standpoint I could surely have made more money had I done so. (Believe it or not writers have to eat too!) But I decided to make it a two-volume compendium of everything I have learned over the past decade and a half, and to allow the reader to pick and choose to decide which path to internet wealth to follow. Either Volume can stand alone.

This necessitated putting some information into each Volume that exactly duplicates that same information in the companion Volume. Chapters 1 through 3, and my Conclusions, along with the obligatory About the Author, and a useful Glossary, needed to appear in each Volume. In this manner it is less important for anyone, especially a newbie, to purchase both Volumes to quickly establish an internet business. Either volume will suffice.

Over the years I have purchased countless internet courses for anywhere from $197.00 to $2,500.00. I still have all of them in my library. I am certain that either Volume of this book, which you have purchased at a very tiny fraction of the value of the information they contain, will prove to be the best purchase you have ever made! Please do not judge their value by their low price.

My associates believe I have lost my mind to sell these books so inexpensively. I disagree. It is my genuine intention to expose as many unemployed and under-employed individuals as possible to the incredible opportunity to earn a living offered to everyone by the internet. I’m 75, very comfortable, and well past the time when I need to earn a few extra bucks. I want this book to be my legacy. If I can help one individual to reach the American Dream that will be great. If I can help hundreds, or even thousands, I will consider my life to have found its true purpose.

With all that said, I believe I should list below the Chapters in this Volume 1 that are best suited for persons at various levels of internet experience. That is not to say that the best approach would not be for you to at least read through the entire book once, and then return to the Chapters that I suggest or you find most appealing. This can, however, be your guide.

FOR EVERYONE: Chapters 1, 2, 3, Conclusion. READ THESE FIRST!!!

FOR A NEWBIE WANTING TO EARN MONEY QUICKLY:

Chapters 10, 11, 12, 14.

IF YOU, AS SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE INTERNET AND NEEDING TO EARN MONEY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, FOCUS 100% OF YOUR EFFORTS ON THE ABOVE EIGHT CHAPTERS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BEGIN EARNING INTERNET CASH QUICKLY WITH AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM OF INVESTMENT.

FOR A NEWBIE WANTING TO WORK A TINY BIT HARDER AND MAKE A LOT MORE MONEY:

Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

FOR A NEWBIE, NEXT LEVEL: Chapters 15, 16, 17, 18

THESE FOUR CHAPTERS ARE THE CLASSIC INTERNET BUSINESS MODEL THAT HAS CREATED MORE INTERNET MILLIONAIRES OVER THE YEARS THAN ANY OTHER OF THE POSSIBLE MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INTERNET INCOME.

FOR THE NOT-SO-NEWBIE: Chapter 21.

FOR THE MORE ADVANCED READERS:

Chapters 13, 19, 20.

Do not lose site of the fact that most internet entrepreneurs (infopreneurs) engage in most or all of the above pursuits at the same time. It is the combined multiple streams of internet income that merge to become a mighty river of internet wealth.

It is my most sincere hope that you will take up the challenge of reading and learning this material. If you truly want the freedom of earning a very good, perhaps spectacular, income from the comfort of your home, you have before you the blueprint for that success.

God speed.

CHAPTER 1

YOUR SUCCESS BLUEPRINT

I wrote this Chapter in an effort to create a mind-set through which perhaps you can extract real life-changing value from the many pages of this how-to internet instruction manual.

In 1934 a brilliant author named Napoleon Hill published a book titled: "Think and Grow Rich". Every salesperson and marketer should own a copy, and should read it and re-read it frequently. It is as valid today as it was seventy-five years ago. If you do not already own a copy, get one. You can download it for free at Amazon last time I checked. If you do own a copy, even if you read it recently, reading this short Chapter will help reinforce Mr. Hill’s life-changing philosophy.

I live an extremely comfortable life. My wife and I want for little. Almost everything we have achieved over the years we attribute largely to the words of wisdom penned by Mr. Hill. I first read his book in 1955. It changed my life, and it can change yours. So can internet commerce.

What I am writing in this Chapter is a brief summary of the ideas and concepts contained in Hill’s book that I personally have found to be the most useful. Reflect deeply on each gem of wisdom. There’s very little fluff offered here. They may not be exact quotes, and I have added a few ideas from other great minds, but I have lived by and applied this wisdom for decades with great success.

Mr. Hill had profound insight on higher education. He states that formal schooling does very little more than to put one in the mind set to learn how to acquire practical knowledge. Pleasantly drifting through an unspecified academic curriculum without purpose or without a definite future course of action (true of the vast majority of college students, especially the BA crowd) is a total waste of time and money. He states: "You do not get any practical knowledge in college….NONE."

Personally possessing a Bachelor of Science (BS), a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and a useless PhD, I could not agree more than I do with Mr. Hill’s analysis. I truly never learned anything in college that could be directly applied to any real-world job. I wasted countless hours in night-school and more money than I care to calculate.

Hill points out that college professors specialize in teaching knowledge, but do not specialize in teaching the USE of knowledge. Knowledge itself is not power, it is POTENTIAL power. It becomes power only if and when it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite worthy end. Knowledge has no value except that which can be gained from its application towards that end.

Any man is educated once he knows where to get knowledge when he needs it (for example this book) and how to organize that knowledge into definite plans of action. As knowledge is acquired it must be organized and put into use for some definite purpose.

A young Abraham Lincoln, arguably our greatest President, lived by one rule: I will study and get ready and someday my chance will come. He recognized the need for practical knowledge. He studied, learned, and became a great President.

It pays to know how to purchase knowledge. There is no fixed price for sound ideas. Behind all sound ideas is specialized knowledge. This is why so many internet entrepreneurs have become wealthy. This is why I wrote this book of specialized knowledge.

Hill lists the six great fears of every human being. Understanding human fears can guide your internet marketing efforts, because addressing and in some way ameliorating these fears with your product offerings is your key to marketing success:

The Fear Of Poverty (The need to make money);

The Fear Of Criticism (The need for praise and envy by others);

The Fear Of Ill Health (The need for better health);

The Fear Of Loss Of Love (The need to find love);

The Fear Of Old Age (The need to extend one’s life);

The Fear Of Death (The desire to live forever).

Some studies have suggested that The Fear Of Public Speaking is stronger than any of these, but Mr. Hill failed to mention that!

The fear of poverty manifests itself through indifference, indecision, doubt, worry, over-caution, and procrastination. Procrastination, the opposite of decision, is a common enemy that everyone must conquer. Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought.

Hill states that ALL fears are nothing more than states of mind, and as such are subject to control and direction. The author Henley penned famously: I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. Hill adds: "…because we all have the power to control our thoughts. Every human being has the ability to completely control his own mind".

Hill points out that even more powerful than the six human fears listed above is one’s own SUSCEPTABILITY TO NEGATIVE INFLUENCES. Without a doubt the most common weakness of all human beings is the destructive habit of leaving their minds open to the negative influence of other people.

Strip such low tone (a Scientology expression) people from your life and you derive immense benefits. (Apparently Mr. Hill was a Scientologist before L. Ron Hubbard stole his ideas!).

Never forget: SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO WHAT THEIR CRITICS SAY CAN’T BE DONE…EVERY DAY! Your critics greatest fear is that you, God forbid, might actually succeed.

Hill outlines six steps to personal riches. He credits Dale Carnegie for teaching these steps to him, and points out that the amazing inventor Thomas Edison adhered religiously to this formula:

Fix in your mind the exact amount of riches you desire;

Determine what sacrifices you are willing to give in return for them;

Establish a definite date to possess them;

Create a definite plan and begin immediately (ready or not) to put this plan into action;

Write out the above steps in longhand.

That’s the easy part!

Hill then insists that twice a day you read aloud your written statement. Do this once before bedtime, and again once on rising in the morning. As you read, see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the riches.

The key is to create in your mind a burning desire for a definite form of riches. Riches can be financial, spiritual, mental or material. Success comes to those who become SUCCESS CONSCIOUS. Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become FAILURE CONSCIOUS.

You must cultivate a persistence that does not even recognize failure as a possibility. The three most important roads to riches are persistence, persistence and persistence!

Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success. Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit. No one is ever defeated until defeat is accepted as a reality. There are no limitations to the human mind except those we acknowledge.

Forty years ago I attended an excellent motivational seminar run by a gentleman named Joel Weldon. He handed out to his audience a great marketing gimmick to get his point across. It was a tin can with a label that read: "Success Comes In Cans And Not In Cannots". I still have the can on my desk. I have never forgotten that profound wisdom. Neither should you. Truer words were never spoken.

Weldon added: "Forget the excuses. Accept responsibility. And take ACTION! Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right!".

Basketball great Michael Jordan is credited with saying: Most people fail because they make up imaginary excuses (the cannots) The only person that can stop you is yourself. Don’t make up excuses. Don’t focus on CANNOTS. You CAN do anything you make up your mind to do.

Will every plan you start succeed? Probably not. Mine certainly did not. Thomas Edison tried hundreds of filament materials for his light bulb before achieving success and changing the world! If the first plan you adopt does not work replace it with a new plan. If the new plan fails to work replace it with another. Lack of persistence is why most fail. No man is ever whipped until he quits in his own mind.

A quitter never wins and a winner never quits. The only good break anyone can afford to rely upon are those self-made breaks brought about through persistence. Riches do not respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans backed by definite desires through constant persistence.

Definiteness of purpose is the starting point from which one MUST begin. Ideas can be transmuted into riches through the power of definite purpose plus definite plans.

And remember, the starting point of all achievement is desire. Anyone can wish for riches, and most people do, but only a few recognize that a definite plan plus a burning desire for riches are the only dependable means of accumulating wealth.

It is often said that good things come to those who wait. In my experience BETTER things come to those who REFUSE to wait. Wait not for someone else to decide to make something happen. You can make it happen by yourself, NOW.

Desperation can be a very positive influence. Leaving oneself with no possible way of retreat you either win or perish. Hill points out historic examples of how this philosophy won military battles in the past. Winston Churchill is credited with saying: The only sure way to accomplish something positive is to create a situation that is so untenable that you must solve it or perish.

Napoleon Hill stated one overriding truism: "WHATEVER THE MIND OF MAN CAN CONCEIVE AND BELIEVE IT CAN ACHIEVE. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches."

Earle Nightengale, a great motivational speaker, used the phrase: You are what you think about. It was the keynote phrase of his The Strangest Secret seminar.

All achievement, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea. More gold has been mined from the thoughts of man than has ever been taken from the earth. One sound idea is all you need to achieve success. One book, such as the one you are reading, can make all the difference in the world.

Hill is convinced that once riches begin to come they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they had been hiding during all those lean years. When one is truly ready for riches they magically put in their appearance. I know this was true in my life. It can be true in yours, through internet commerce, through this book.

Do not ever envy those who have become great. Success is to be envied, not reviled. Hill states that Experience has taught me that the next best thing to being truly great is to emulate the great, by feeling and action, as nearly as possible. The great always have persistence and a determination to repel failure. They make definite plans and execute them without hesitation. Emulate, not envy, nor hate, these individuals. Don’t fall into the trap of today’s class warfare rhetoric as is being waged constantly by various political figures.

Remember: Life is like a checkerboard. The player opposite the board from you is TIME. You are playing against an opponent who will not tolerate indecision. If you hesitate to move, or fail to move quickly, your pieces will be wiped off the board by time. Take action NOW!

Get involved in internet commerce today. Read this book, choose your path, and ACT ON IT.

Good luck and GOD speed!

CHAPTER 2

HOW TO MAKE A WONDERFUL LIVING FROM HOME

UNEMPLOYED? UNDER EMPLOYED?

YOU HAVE NO EXCUSES WHATSOEVER!

I’ve often said: I’d gladly participate in any experiment that would test the effects on me of sudden great wealth. Can money buy happiness? All I ask is the chance to prove it can’t! If you share these feelings, this book is for you.

What is the information in this book worth? Let me give you an idea of what it would cost you for at least one of the academic internet marketing college credentials you can actually earn on-line while sitting at home.

For a mere $21,000.00 (!!!!!) one fully accredited on-line University will issue you seven different Certificates of Achievement for completion of online eight-week or less internet commerce courses they offer. I assume these are really super-great courses. They’d better be for that kind of money. At that rate this 300+ page book would be a major bargain at $1,997.00!

The irony is that all of the many internet millionaires I know invested at the most a few hundred dollars to get started. Others, the so-called Bum Marketers, didn’t even invest a dime! Some of these earned their first million dollars within two years. Their Certificates of Achievement are their bank statements!

At first glance this book might look overwhelming. I grant you that there is a lot of information you can eventually absorb, but taken in little bites (and bytes!) it really is not at all difficult. Warren Buffett is credited with saying: There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult. Just take it slow and let it be easy.

Making serious money marketing on the internet is NOT difficult, unless you decide to make it so. Don’t. Many newbies starting with zero knowledge and few if any liquid assets have become very successful internet entrepreneurs. It just takes a bit of time and patience.

The more people you listen to, the more products you buy, the more confused you are likely to become! Many newbies buy lots of stuff from dozens of different gurus, seeking the magic silver bullet to internet riches. What they end up with is lots of excellent information and not a clue what to do with it. It is called the Paralysis of Analysis.

Are you perhaps gainfully employed but sick of the nine to five rat race? Or perhaps working two jobs to make ends meet? I recall seeing a cartoon years ago, probably in the New Yorker. There’s a bum sitting on a bench in a large city watching masses of business-clad people racing to and fro. He asks the simple hypothetical question to no one in particular: Who’s Winning? Profound. These days the answer apparently is: No One. No one, that is, except internet entrepreneurs! They are today’s winners in a very difficult employment market.

Being an internet entrepreneur is not just about making money. Working from home, far from the nine-to-five rat race, is all about you being able to do what you want, whenever you want, wherever you want, with whomever you want, for as long as you want. Internet commerce is, in my opinion, about making the most money you can with the greatest possible freedom. Nothing could be more American!

It is reported that unemployment in the United States, if one includes those who have simply given up looking, today
