The Secret To Success And Riches
Featured Article By Willie Crawford
Look at the world around you. Observe the buildings, yachts, and huge complexes that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Can there be any doubt in your mind that this world has unlimited wealth?
Yet, if you’re like me, you’ve often wondered, “How do I get my share?” You wonder why and how some people seem to have it all, while others always seem to struggle just to keep ahead of the bill collectors.
I’ve actually discovered the answer to that question, and now I - more or less - live the lifestyle that I want. However, it wasn’t always that way. If you read my biography, you’ll see that I grew up so poor that, as a teen, I once had to wear my grandmother’s shoes to school. As a child, I only saw a doctor when the school nurse noticed I was sick and sent me… then I paid using a government voucher.
I also share in my biography, entitled Git Off the Porch, (available at GitOffThePorch.com ) that life showed me the answers to its riddles right from the start. My only problem was in seeing the answers
Life has also shown you the answer to this riddle right from the very start. That’s true no matter what your background. From an early age I frequently read it in religious literature, in books on success, and I even heard it in the conversations of those around me. You did too.
We’ve all heard:
- Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you…
- Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve
- Nature abhors a vacuum
- Whenever you focus on something properly, nature has a way of aligning those factors that make it possible
- It is more blessed to give than to receive
All of these saying reveal to you the answer. They reveal to you the secret to success and unimagined riches. I admit that the average person doesn’t seem to be able to understand these lessons. Therein lies the key.
The key is to train your mind to hear the message. The key is to understand “faith,” “natural laws,” and even the power of giving. The key is to cultivate the ability to tap into these forces on a continuous basis.
Most of us believe to an extent that when we give, we somehow create “good vibes,” “good karma,” or that we will get something back because we give. We don’t all fully understand how it works. Some of us do on a psychological level. We understand the immutable law of reciprocity.
The law of reciprocity, (which applies in EVERY culture on the face of the earth), simply explains that that when someone gives you something you feel an obligation to give back. Salespeople, copywriters, and all types of “marketers” use this immutable natural law to their advantage to make more sales. That’s why people in these professions give you free samples. That’s why door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen offer to clean your house for free. That’s why charities give out free gifts.
Others understand this law on a faith-based level. They were taught and believe that you should “plant a seed.” Their faith has taught them that giving is somehow a key to carrying out Gods instructions to them. When we give because of faith, we do receive more! We don’t have to understand it, for it to work. That’s why it’s called faith.
What many of us miss is just the fact that we live in a world of laws… natural laws that always apply. We somewhat understand the laws of gravity, inertia, and a few others. We believe those because we’ve had them somewhat proven to us. I submit that they haven’t totally been proven to us.
Laws that we don’t understand, we often call “miracles” when we observe them. I find it interesting that some of the greatest mind to ever live believed in miracles. Consider Albert Einstein who said, Some people look at life and see nothing as a miracle. I look at life and see EVERYTHING as a miracle.”
Many things that we take as ordinary occurrences would certainly have been considered a miracle 200 or even 100 year ago. Consider:
- Airplanes weighing several hundred TONS floating through the air
- Hearing the voice of someone ten thousand miles away just a fraction of a second after they’ve spoken
- Pressing a key on your computer keyboard and having the letter appear on someone else’s computer monitor on the other side of the world a fraction of a second later
- The fact that practically EVERY cell in your body today is not the same cell that it was a year ago
Now that you see that some miracles, and ordinary things conforming to the laws of God and nature, are all a matter of time and perception, the question becomes how do I open myself up to benefiting from these things. Understand that the things that make computers or satellites work properly existed 1000 years ago… we just didn’t know how to tap into them back then.
Many of the things that lead to riches, success, and happiness are only waiting for you to discover and avail yourself of them. Those who haven’t achieved success simply don’t understand HOW.
Dr. Robert Anthony offered an easy to understand “scientific” explanation of exactly how this all works in his best-selling audio course “Know How To Be Rich”. He explains it using quantum physics, something that sounds extremely intimidating until you listen to it explained. Then it doesn’t seem any more mysterious than how your cell phone signal is bounced off of a satellite as you chat away aboard a cruise ship out in the middle of the ocean.
The whole key is to open yourself up and allow it to happen to you. That’s why all of those “trite” expressions that you read earlier in this article exist and are the answer. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it really can achieve! Most people simply won’t allow themselves to really believe. They believe that others can do it, but that they can’t, or that they don’t deserve it.
If you want to begin getting your share of this world’s riches, success, health, and happiness today, you have to begin by training your mind. A good starting point is to study literature such as Dr. Anthony’s Know How To Be Rich. You can find it at:

Great leaders and scholars have intuitively understood the keys to success, wealth, health and happiness for centuries. However, they’ve always spoken in riddles or parables. Many of us have simply not really listened to those parables. The success secrets you’ve been searching for are right in front of you. You only need to listen and observe.

A Hot Trend For 2006 - Internet TV
Featured Article By Tony Brings
The term Internet TV may refer to either of two things. Internet TV may refer to a set top box that allows users to view Internet content on their television. Alternatively it may refer to television shows and channels that are broadcast over the Internet allowing you to watch your favorite television channels or new channels that you wouldn’t ordinarily receive through your terrestrial television channels.
Internet TV is still a modern technology and, as such, there are regular improvements being made that enable easier access, greater quality footage and other features. It’s possible to find most of your favorite television and satellite channels on the Internet that transmit simultaneously on the Internet. It is quite easy to find access to these stations for free and completely legally. Alternatively, there are also new stations that aren’t available except on the Internet or new content provided by existing television stations. The use of internet TV broadens the entertainment capability by giving the viewers more channels equipped with more of the shows that people really want.
You will need high speed Internet access and a reasonable computer to ensure that you receive a good quality of footage. However, apart from this you do not need any more equipment. Previous problems have been that the cost and the difficulty of setting up an Internet TV station have made it unfeasible to do so. However, the technology required for video streaming has become more easily accessible and more affordable. As more and more people become aware of internet TV the funds being appropriated to the concept are increasing making it even easier for small TV stations to set up online and provide high quality television online.
One emerging method to help Internet users access and watch Internet television is a peer-to-peer network. P2P streaming enables users from all over the world to share image files with one another, including live TV action. The more people who share a particular channel, the better the quality usually is. P2P streaming looks set to present excellent options for the future if any new developments are not introduced first that will take away the need for P2P.

Viral Marketing Strategies
Featured Article By Herman Drost
One of the most time consuming aspects of online marketing is finding the most effective strategies to attract visitors to your web site. If you set up a viral marketing campaign correctly, you have the opportunity of gaining 1000s of visitors for years to come.
Definition of viral marketing
This is the online term for word-of-mouth advertising. You provide something that encourages others to spread the word about your product, quickly and inexpensively with little effort on your part. This potentially creates exponential growth in the message’s visibility and effect. The message spreads in a viral form in a manner similar to the spreading of a common cold virus from person to person.
One example of successful viral marketing is Hotmail, which began offering free e-mail accounts, with a link back to Hot Mail at the end of every e-mail message sent by one of its customers. That spread the word about the service like a virus, with every customer a virtual “carrier” of the message.
Benefits of Viral Marketing
1. Free advertising
2. Short term gains - gain immediate visitors.
3. Long term gains - attracts visitors for years to come.
4. Causes exponential growth - reaches a large audience.
5. Automate your marketing methods - set it up once and forget about it.
6. Inexpensive to set-up - it primarily involves some investment of time.
7. Viral marketing tools are easy to develop i.e. you can create an e-book without knowing how to write.
8. Quickly build your reputation.
9. Easy to combine with other marketing methods - i.e. include as a bonus with other products.
10. Increase targeted traffic to your web site.
Viral Marketing Strategies
1. Write articles - allow people to reprint your articles on their web site, in their ezine, newsletter, magazine or e-books. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article. Make sure that the link in your resource box is live so that all people that use your article will link back to your site.
2. Create a free e-Book - give your e-book away to your visitors and other editors or webmasters within your target market. Encourage them to pass it on. Insert ezine subscription links or affiliate links to the products throughout your e-book. Subscriptions to your newsletter will increase in proportion to the number of places your e-book is placed.
3. Set up an affiliate program - affiliate programs provide a financial incentive for other sites to link to yours. Make sure your commission is enough to make this attractive to web site owners. As the number of affiliates increases, so do your visitors and sales.
4. Getting sites to link to your site - you can receive ongoing traffic from other sites by asking them to link to yours. If it’s a site that already has lots of traffic, you will see an immediate increase in traffic to your own site. Only contact site owners who have products that compliment the products on your site.
5. Send out news releases - create a free service or product that is available on your site. The most important aspect is to have a truly newsworthy event, contest, free service, or digital download. If your news release is carried by just 5% of the media you send it to, you could have your URL in front of tens of thousands of readers quite inexpensively.
6. Viral software - offering a free download of a script, e-book, calendar, etc is an effective method for gaining new subscribers to your ezine. You can also market your product by including your logo or marketing message with your download.
7. Create an e-course - give your visitor numerous chances to respond to your offer by creating an email course or courses. You accomplish this by writing a series of small articles outlining the benefits of your product, then distribute them automatically over several days or weeks with an auto responder. This can be set up automatically for the product or ezine you are promoting.
8. RSS Feeds - this is a relatively new viral marketing method. RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication”. It was originally used by news organizations to syndicate their news stories. RSS Feeds are now used to automatically distribute content to blogs. They can also be used to distribute articles to web site owners and ezine publishers throughout the web.
Conclusion
Using these viral marketing strategies will help boost your web presence, by rapidly increasing web traffic, gaining more links and building your reputation as an expert in your field.
