The One Minute Millionaire: The Enlightened Way to Wealth
by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen
This book is a two in one book...
One side of each page is like any typical financial self help type of book BUT the other side of the page is a story of how someone is using the things learned in the book to become rich. It's a very cool concept.
The story part of the book is about a woman that needs to become a millionaire as fast as she can because her life is falling apart. She meets a woman that helps teach her how to become rich. I can't remember how long I think 2 or 3 months is all the time she has and she does it by using two main projects.
She builds a small real estate empire and flips some houses. I love the idea of real estate because you build income two ways. Passive income from rent and capital gains when the market goes up. So you can sell with it's worth more or use you extra equity to buy another property. Even if the housing market stays level or goes low you still make the money from rent.
The other main way for her to make money was to sell a product online! This is a book that got me really interested in online marketing. They made a great product with the help of woman that teaches her about becoming rich. Then she gets a guy to help her build a fully automated website to sell the product. They rent an e-mail list with millions of e-mails on it to send their ad to and in a few minutes they make a pile of money!
This is a good book and I plan to re-read it shortly! You have to read and learn all the time if you want to get into the money making get rich mind set!
I give this a 4.5 out of 5!

Have a great day!

All Online Marketers Need to Build a Double Opt-in E-mail List
Building a double opt-in e-mail list should be the number one goal of all online marketers.
To the right side of my blog you can see my sign up page and if you join I will give you a free e-book about online marketing. At the start of all the programs I own I get people to join an e-mail list so I can update them, help them, and recommend things to them.
No matter what business you are trying to build get your prospects onto your list first! People are always changing businesses and not all businesses will appeal to all people. So before someone joins you in a business or buys you may have to show them more then one business.
Having your list is a good way to build trust with people if you give them help all the time. I like to ask people on my list if they need help with their online marketing because that is the demographic I target. I always try to offer help before recommending a program.
Multiple sales can only happen if the customer or prospect is already in your list. I make about 2/3rds of my online money from repeat customers!
The power is in the list IF you have it filled with targeted prospects/customers AND you only recommend related businesses or products. I like to say don't expect a list full of cat lovers to buy dog products!
To build your list you will need a good auto responder. This will cost you some money every month so you need to be ready to pay this for as long as you will be marketing.
I use three different auto responders:
NPN is my favorite auto responder because it's the cheapest at $10.75 per month and you get most of the tools an online marketer needs like ad tracking and splash/capture page creator. NPN also has a great business that's making me over $100 per month on a regular basis.
TrafficWave I have been using because it's integrated into a business I have joined to help with pre-made e-mail messages. It's $17.95 per month but has less tools then NPN. My TrafficWave business has been slowly building and I now make about $40 per month.
Aweber is just an auto responder but it is the best one out there! They have recently improved their service with new capture boxes like the one on the right side of my blog. It is the most expensive at $19 per month and increases according to the size of you list but worth it for the quality. I don't really advertise Aweber because they only pay to the first level of referrals but if you want the quality join!
If you want more help with auto responders and list building feel free to e-mail me at ian@tailgatemoney.com.

Book Review - Retire Young Retire Rich
Well I'm a strong believer in learning something new each day and the only way I'm going to learn how to be rich is read. So now and again I will review books that I have read.
Retire Young Retire Rich
by Robert T. Kiyosaki with Sharon R. Lecher
I love all the Rich Dad books I have read so far and this one is good also! I now have a copy next to my computer as a reference.
Learn about habits of the rich in Chapter 14 The Leverage of Habits. OK, I know what you are thinking "Habits are not going to make me rich...step by step plans will." Well, If you don't have the discipline to clean your house when you should, exercise when you should, eat healthy when you should, get work done when you should, or just about anything in your life when you should what makes you think you will stick to a plan to become rich?
Great introduction to Options Trading can be found in Chapter 17 The Leverage of Paper Assets. If you think the advice we get to invest in stocks or mutual funds for the long term, hold, and pray is right then you really need this chapter. Would you drive a car without insurance? Well options are the stock markets equivalent of insurance!
I give this a 5 out of 5!

Since my last post...
Hi Everyone,
Since my last post I have done a lot of things and been very busy!
NPNDownlineBuilder.com is building fast! See home much money I made in April! My team is great and all our businesses are growing. NPN by far is my current favorite online business.
What NPNDownlineBuilder.com has...
1) Powerful Font End Sequential Team Rotator - We all advertise and market one page that gives all members opportunities for upline spillover AND direct personal referrals. Spillover is the long term power of any MLM business because even when you get busy and can't work your business people in your upline and downline team are generating sales for you. Direct personal referrals are what generate your upfront cash early in any MLM business because you get the bigger cash bonuses for being there direct referral.
2) Pre-Made Splash Pages - I have done all the hard work of building splash pages so team members only have to worry about advertising and marketing. All our splash pages have hit counters on them so everyone can see how amazing our team advertising efforts are.
3) Team Attack - All members work as a team to do some advertising at one location at the same time. This is to saturate that place with so many ads we can hit the 7 times rule and show people we really do work together. Most people need to see an ad 7 times before they click it or join so team attacks get the job done for us.
4) And much more!
Have a great day,
