Dear Friend,
My name is Chris Meyer. I’m a regular guy. I currently live in Montreal
where i was born and went to college many years ago. Since then however, i was corporate
computer technical instructor with Philips of Einhoven Holland.
During this time, (Pre PC days) the corporate technical staff i personally
trained were awarded the honour of being considered the top technical support
organization in North America by SEYBOLD/HP Report currently Internet
Publishing, formerly the word processing industry journal.
My technique for instruction however is unique in many ways.
i usually start my teaching by explaining where we will end up
not necessarily at the beginning. This is for two main reasons.
1.) It explains quite nicely what you're striving towards, and
hopefully will remind you of the consiquences of giving up or
loosing incentive to work hard to atchieve the ULTIMATE GOAL.
2.) In New Orleans, where i lived and worked for 10 years, i was
teaching adults who were jobless in the 80's, and many were already
so far advanced, that starting everyone at the very beginning
would automatically loose half the classes interest immediately,
so it became neccessary to get some of the advanced people learning
some advanced material right away.

My free remote website visitor tracker/monitor with stastics service (AFS)
and Jim World Search Engine Forums.
According to my website visitor tracker/monitor, most of my hundreds of websites get hit by
visitors where i rank in the top 20 positions and often that is out of
hundreds of thousands of rival sites for the same "keyword lookup phrase".

But things online weren’t always so great for me…
Perhaps you are today exactly where I was seven years ago?
I became ill due to Pyrrolizidine Alkaloid poisoning (PA's) and almost died in
the process. I had no choice except to work at home while recouperating.
I could no longer work at Delta College where i was teaching prior
to my sudden illness! Anyway, i had no energy to go anywhere in
the morning, let alone later in the day.
Sound familiar? I thought so.
At the time, I had no idea that the internet was to become my
perminent ticket out of the work world and into the life I had always
dreamed of.
Any-who, at the time I signed up for a bunch of affiliate programs
and waited for the huge checks to roll in.
It was a long wait.
For Five Years I Busted My Butt
and Still Wasn’t Making the
Money and my savings were going fast!
I had read all the books by all the so-called “Gurus”, got myself
a ISP that allowed SHELL accounts and got one telnet connection. Wrote
all sorts of Perl and CGI scripts like orderform with autoresponder,
guestbooks, polling scripts with autoresponder, local search engine,
inventory flat database, website visitor tracker script and so on.
My sites were automated to the hilt. Yet except for a few lucrative
contracts i managed to acquire, i was spending too much time earning
too little.
Not only that, the affiliate programs i joined were barely paying me
enough to afford my ISP service provider fees.
It seemed as though all those merchants were bamboozeling me out of
my well deserved monies. I was getting plenty of hits according to
my Perl SHELL visitor tracker script yet according to them, the
visitors weren't making any purchases.
Well, you guessed it!
People just hate all the crap involved with filling out those long
forms on the web ( only to find that they missed something or made
some error and they're forced back by the system to make changes
only to find the bloody form is once again blank and they have to
start all over). People rightly also mistrust the use of their
credit cards over the www, and so on. I'am sure you've all been
there, seen and done that yourselves.
I was ready to give up, throw in the towel and move back to
New Orleans! That was untill recently when i heard about
Chuck McCullough of affiliatemistakes
and ken Evoy of sitebuild & sitesell.
Their ebooks and message said exactly what i was sensing all
along. Unless you're in the loop, you're waisting your time
following the suggestions some of these so called experts.
Chuck writes:
"Almost every affiliate program has the cards stacked in
favor of the so-called super affiliate and against
the little guy."
Later i also became aware and enthused by another progression
in the web shopping experience soon to become reality! This
evolution in web shopping should have a pronounced positive
influence in making the web shopping experience a fun, safe
and easy one.
Long overdue welcome to a new and improved shopping "cart free" web shopping
experience! Equifax's identity authentication solution to be offered with Microsoft Passport
If you’re ready to pack it in the way was, i can
appreciate and empethize with your frustration.
Here’s EXACTLY Why You’re Not Making Money
with Affiliate
Programs
Rather than me doing all the splaining, and you i assume
already are an affiliate who isn't making REAL MONEY! Why
don't i just go ahead and send you over to some of the places i
found most helpful in giving me the real rub on EXACTLY

First, may i suggest you bookmark this site so you can

one link, when there is so much more to learn right here!

Now For Those of you who are still with me here,
It's Back to the Beginning from the point of starting
a website and on towards making money online
So you've got a website Idea! Will it work? Is it a good or Bad Idea?
First off, there is no such thing as a bad idea for websites, even though
there nay be hundreds or thousands of websites with the exact same topic.
The important distinction being web copy content, ease of reading and the
way the topic is approached. It must be interesting and keep the visitor
reading and reading untill the topic is exhausted.
Next, it it also important to get the visitor to return ( website recidivity ).
The content must change, not be stagnent, and it must be made clear to
the visitor that the content will change and/or grow. He/She can expect
to find more and or continued information tomorrow or next week.

Website Not Making Enough Money?

Online, people search for information, look for
solutions -- they are not looking for you. Give
them what they want by converting your knowledge into
high-quality, in-demand CONTENT. |

|
 |
Your
theme-based topical content ranks high at the Search Engines,
attracting free, targeted TRAFFIC... interested,
open-to-you visitors. |

|
 |
Develop
trust and confidence ("PREsell") by OVERdelivering
relevant, original, high-value information to these motivated
pre-customers.
Then... and only then...

This is the easy part -- but it
cannot happen if you fail to first execute
C  T P.
MONETIZE your warm, willing-to-buy visitors in various
ways. Sell hard goods, e-goods, your personal or professional
services... or all three. Or become a "pure infopreneur" and
earn substantial income without selling at all, through
Google Ads, affiliate fees, finder's fees and other
techniques. Then diversify into multiple streams of
revenue to maximize income, growth and stability.
