MAKE THAT 3 BILLIONMy previous article I wrote called "One Point Two Billion" attracted quite some attention,
downloads through all article syndication services has been astronomical compared to any other articles I wrote which are still with them.
It seems numbers game is popular not only with accountancy profession, but with just about anyone running a website who is interested in more sales from anywhere in world.
The internet has proved to be great leveller, even a grandmother I know has made hundreds of thousands of dollars just from publishing a couple of e-books, business of that magnitude is not now confined to those people with large sums of investment capital, teams of accountants, planners, secretaries, swanky offices etc. Anyone, even you, can make money regularly on internet, just aim for a goal and 'go for it!'
The costs of setting up have never been lower, ease of making web pages has never been easier, ( I make my web pages in Notepad, which is on every Windows computer), and potential audience for your web pages has never been larger. So what are you waiting for?
The sheer mountain of information available through e-books on any subject and especially on setting up a business on internet would take you a lifetime to read through, so just be selective and read only what you need to know about and get started in that business. Businesspeople who have 'been there-done that', have written up an enormous amount of e-books to pass on their knowledge and experience, pitfalls to avoid, how to spend your advertising dollars, and just about everything else you need to know about to ensure success. So profit from their experience, avoid pitfalls, do what they say you should do, and you should be in a profitable business in no time, just way they did it. No large sums of investment are needed, just time and dedication.
If you provide an excellent service that benefits all your clients, they will recommend you to their friends,if on other hand you want to be a 'scammer' and a 'fly by night' operator determined to 'rip-off' as many people as possible, you will come to grief. You will find your web hosting account rapidly terminated, your e-mail account likewise, and your name plastered all over forums and newsgroups. You get out of life exactly what you put in.
There are still mysteries about life we still don't understand and this is reason we come to grief, but on other hand, if you work for benefit of others, this 'mystery of life', for want of a better name,cuts in and helps us along, we go with flow and good things start to happen.
I could tell you of many experiences I have had, both good and bad, which I have learnt a great deal from, but space precludes that, maybe one day.
All right, you win, I will tell you of one particular incident more recently and then move on with this article.
I carried a St.Christopher medallion on a gold chain in my wallet for six years, given to me by wife of a good friend overseas, 'it will keep you safe' she said. I received a new wallet for a Christmas present and changed everything in old wallet into new one, except St. Christopher medallion, it was looking a bit 'worse for wear' and I decided to put it in cupboard.
That day I lost my mobile phone!
For two whole days I felt a loss which can only be described as a 'bereavement'. I had lost touch with network I was attached to night and day, seven days a week, I felt bereft. I did not know if someone was trying to ring me, whether something was urgent I had to know about, my sense of loss was total.
Was this to do with St. Christopher medallion?
I thought surely not.
That was on Tuesday, by Thursday morning I had decided to put that 'good luck' St. Christopher medallion into my new wallet.
My mobile phone turned up via a 'good samaritan' who would take no money as a reward whatsoever.
I was never more pleased to see my mobile phone.
So what happened here?
Was it something to do with St. Christopher medallion?
Was it because I had 'bad thoughts' that it was 'worse for wear' so discard it as inconsequential?
