			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The world of online shopping is exploding. More than ever, people are now buying online, with the figures in the next 5 years set to double the current figures of online purchases.</strong></p>
<p>So imagine if you could tap into this goldmine yourself and start your very own online retail store and compete with the big retailers on the same level!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s actually much easier, and cheaper, than you think.</p>
<p>In three simple steps you can have an online business up and running within a few days.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t even need to buy any products for your online store</p>
<p><strong>Here is my simple 3 step guide to creating your own online retail business:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Getting started with a domain name and hosting:</strong></p>
<p>Like any retail store, you need &#8216;office&#8217; space. In the online world this is web hosting. You also need your business &#8216;name&#8217;, which is a domain name.</p>
<p>Probably the cheapest and easiest way to get this started is to visit our friends at <a title="Hostgator cheap website hosting" href="http://secure.hostgator.com/~affiliat/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=devision"><strong>Hostgator</strong></a> who can set your web hosting up for around $7.95 per month. This comes with a free domain name.<br />
You will also need a shopping cart for your products, and for this instance we will be using <a title="Wordpress Online CMS" href="http://www.wordpress.org">WordPress</a>, which is a free software package. Hostgator offer a free &#8217;1 click&#8217; install of WordPress on your hosting package so the software can be literally up and running a few minutes after you sign up with Hosthgator.</p>
<p>Once you have done this the next thing you need to do is create your online store:</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Creating an online store &#8211; the easy way! </strong><br />
Usually running any business online you need to update the products pricing, arrange postage and handling and even buy and stock the products, which is all very expensive and time consuming.</p>
<p>But there is a much easier way to run an online retail store, without buying any products and it only requires a few minutes a day or even per week to manage.</p>
<p><a title="Datafeedr Homepage" href="http://www.datafeedr.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=2034_1_tlid_11"><strong>Datafeedr</strong></a> is an online subscription service which connects to retail affiliate companies, and feeds their product data directly through to your online store.<br />
This means that you simply select the affiliated companies you want to sell for, select the products you want to sell and then with a click of a button all the product information including product images, descriptions and the latest prices are all on your website, and they update automatically!<br />
So you don&#8217;t need to update anything manually if you don&#8217;t want to, apart from reviewing possible new products you would like to sell.</p>
<p>Sign up with Datafeedr and all the instruction videos and support are readily available for you to start your own site instantly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.datafeedr.com/affiliates/jrox.php?id=2034_1_bid_16"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.datafeedr.com/affiliates/image.php?bid=16&amp;mid=2034" alt="" width="468" height="60" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Step 3: Find the products you want to sell:</strong></p>
<p>One of the biggest concerns for online shoppers is knocking if the products they are purchasing are genuine. The great thing about using Datafeedr and affiliate businesses is that your customers are buying direct from leading brand companies, but each time they make a sale through your affiliate link you make a commission. These commissions usually range from around 6% to 50%, so making money online is very easy, and you don&#8217;t have to do anything!</p>
<p>Datafeedr lists all the companies it works with, and the affiliates you need to sign up with first to make it work.<br />
Signing up with affiliate retail companies is totally free, which provides you with your unique sales link, which you enter into your Datafeedr account. When this link is clicked on your website and a sale is made you receive the sales commission. Simple!</p>
<p>The recommended affiliates to sign up with include:<br />
<a title="Commission Junction Affiliate Program" href="http://www.cj.com"><strong>Commission Junction</strong></a><br />
<a title="Commission Monster Affiliate Program" href="http://www.commissionmonster.com"><strong> Commission Monster</strong></a><br />
<a title="Share S Sale Affiliate program" href="http://www.shareasale.com"><strong> Share A Sale</strong></a></p>
<p>To view a site I have created myself using Datafeedr and Hostgator, check out Shoppalot:  <a title="Shoppalot Online Retail Store" href="http://www.Shoppalot.com">www.Shoppalot.com</a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a quick small screenshot too:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shoppalot.com"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1065" title="Shoppalot online store" src="http://www.webseocoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/shoppalot.jpg" alt="Shoppalot online store" width="580" height="439" /></a></p>
<p>Shoppalot took just a couple of days to create and started earning an income within days!</p>
<p><strong>So if you are looking for a new business venture without the costs or time required, creating your own online affiliate-based business might be the solution for you!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Best Tips For A Successful Affiliate Marketing Business</strong></p>
<p>Now that you have decided to take the plunge and set up a business for yourself, you need to insure that you do all of the right things. Affiliate marketing businesses do take the risk away but you still need to conduct this venture as you would any other business. If it is your sole source of income you&#8217;ll want to give it your all and make it as successful as possible. In this article, we will look at ways to get your business going and make it successful. By following the advice in this article your affiliate marketing business will get off to a great start and stay that way.</p>
<p>The first golden rule of any business is to identify the demand. With affiliate marketing programs you&#8217;ll likely be giving a range of products to sell. Check out the demand of these types of things. You should try to stay away from trendy items. They&#8217;ll sell like mad one minute but you&#8217;ll be giving them away the next. You want thing that you know people want and need. That way your long term sales objectives will get met.</p>
<p>Next is don&#8217;t limit yourself to just one product. Try to offer a variety of things. Many affiliate marketing programs offer a selection and it is best to go with these. Basing your business on one product may work in the short term. However, someone will eventually come along with something better or cheaper.</p>
<p>Third, you need to set your business apart from others. You need to establish what makes you and what you offer better from others. What do you offer that sets you apart from other businesses? You should always use tact when talking about your competition. Putting them down or being rude will only backfire on you. Talk up the advantages that you offer and leave it at that.</p>
<p>Forth, you should definitely insure your home business. Everything can be fine one day but life can always take a funny turn. Accidents can happen to anyone. Ask yourself what will happen if one of your products hurts someone. Today, people can be sued for just about anything. Make sure you are insured incase the worst happens.</p>
<p>Fifth, you should always do your best to ensure fast and efficient service to your clients. However, there will come a time when there is a glitch. You need to keep your customers informed and aware of what is happening. Things happen that are beyond your control. Most customers are very forgiving if they are made aware of this. Keeping your customers in the dark could result in loosing them for good.</p>
<p>Finally, keep your customers happy. The happier they are the more likely they are to come back. Offer your customers incentives such as savings on their next purchase. It may cost you more but only in the short term. Keeping your customers happy will result is them referring you to others.</p>
<p>Affiliate marketing businesses are easier in the fact that they minimize risk. Everything else is like any other business. You need to work very hard to keep your customers happy. You need to set yourself apart from others and protect yourself against the worst. By following the advice in this article you will be giving your business the best possible chance for success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Becoming A Niche Market Super Affiliate </strong></p>
<p>Over the past years, web hosting has grown bigger than it used to be. With more companies getting into this business and finding the many benefits it can give them, the demand for web hosting has never been higher. These seem to be the trend of today.</p>
<p>38 million people have put up their very first websites online this year 2005 alone. It is estimated that by 2008, the internet sales industry will top then dollar bank. And to think, majority of those sites will be offering different affiliate programs for people to choose and participate into.</p>
<p>This only means one thing. It is easier now to find the right web host for your application. The possibility of quality web hosting companies separating themselves from the rest of the industry is anticipated. If this is done, the unprofessional and incompetent ones will suffer.</p>
<p>Support will be the number one consideration for people when choosing a web host. It will be obvious that traditional advertising will become less and less effective. Most people would rather opt for the web host based on things that they see and hear. Also based on the recommendations by those who have tried them and have proved to be a successful.</p>
<p>This is a great opportunity for web hosting affiliates and resellers alike. There would hundreds of web hosting and programs to choose from that the difficulty in finding the right one for them is not a problem anymore.</p>
<p><strong>How does one become a successful affiliate in the niche markets using web hosting?</strong></p>
<p>If you think about it, everyone who needs a website needs a web hosting company to host it for them. As of now, there is really no leading hosting industry so most people choose hosts based from recommendations. Usually, they get it from the ones that have already availed of a web hosting services.</p>
<p>With the many hosts offering affiliate programs, there is the tendency to find the one which you think will work best for you. Think of the product you will be promoting. Pattern them to the site and see if they are catering to the same things as you are.</p>
<p>When you have been with one host for quite some time and seem not to be making much despite all your effort, leave that one and look for another. There is no use in trying to stick to one when you would be before off in another one. Things will only have to get better from there because you already have been in worst situations.</p>
<p>Try this out. If you are quite happy and satisfied with your web host, try to see if they are offering an affiliate program you can participate on. Instead of you paying them, why not make it the other way around; them paying you. The process can be as easy as putting a small &#8216;powered by&#8217; or &#8216;hosted by&#8217; link at the bottom of your page and you are already in an affiliate business.</p>
<p>Why choose paying for your for your web hosting when you do not have to? Try to get paid by letting people know you like your web host.</p>
<p>Always remember that when choosing a web host, choose the one that is known for its fantastic customer support. There are also many hosting affiliate programs. Residual affiliate program is also being hosted. This is the program wherein you get paid a percentage every month for a client that you refer. This can allow you to have a steady source of income. With perseverance, you can even be quite successful in this field.</p>
<p>There are a lot of niche markets out there just waiting for the right affiliate to penetrate to them and make that dollars dream come true. Knowing which one to get into is being confident enough of your potentials and the good results you will be getting.</p>
<p>Web hosting is just one affiliate market you could try out and make some good and continuous income. Just remember that to be successful on your endeavor also means that time, effort and patience is needed.</p>
<p>Nobody has invented the perfect affiliate market yet. But some people do know how to make it big in this kind of market. It is just knowing your kind of market and making the earnings there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Advice For New Become Affiliate Marketers</strong></p>
<p>Today, many of us are growing increasingly tired of the workplace and the daily grind. We are continually overworked and undervalued. Working a traditional job offers very little incentive to produce more. The vast majority of us pare paid a wage with very little movement for increases.</p>
<p>Increasing numbers of us want to work for ourselves but this requires money and a great deal of risk. Starting your own business is a risky venture and it may be years before any significant profit is seen. Most of us can&#8217;t wait that long as our financial obligations need to be met immediately.</p>
<p>To bridge this gap, some are turning to the field of affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to work for yourself. Instead of creating your own business, you working to expand an already existing one. This keeps the risk factor and investment low so you can concentrate on how to make profits. </p>
<p>Many think it sounds easy. Certain aspects of affiliate marketing make it very attractive but it isn&#8217;t easy at all. There are steps and loads of advice you should follow before plunging head first into and affiliate marketing scheme.</p>
<p>The first thing you should do before committing to an affiliate marketing scheme is to evaluate your skills and expertise. How motivated are you? How many hours are you willing to put in? What business skills do you already have and what skills do you need? Even though the risk is minimal, you want to make the most of the venture. You will need some business and sales skills. If you have none then you need to learn. There are very few products that sell themselves. If they did the company wouldn&#8217;t need you to do it for them. You profit will be based on your performance. If you cannot perform then your venture will struggle.</p>
<p>The next thing you should consider is a product themselves. You should find something that you know something about. That way you sound much more sincere when you are marketing them. However, you also need to look into how saleable they are. You may have loads of knowledge about a particular area but if it isn&#8217;t something that sells it will be useless. Find out from the company how well these items sell. How much of a return you can reasonably expect. Don&#8217;t let them dazzle you with the sky is the limit speech, or one of our salesmen hit the million dollar mark. You need to know what you are likely to achieve.</p>
<p>Finally, you need to have realistic expectations. One of the reasons that many work at home ventures fail is that people want instant results. Running a business of any type takes time and hard work. With affiliate marketing your will get out only what you put in. with patience and hard work it will be lucrative. Learn what is realistic and shoot for that. If you make more then great.</p>
<p>Affiliate marketing is a fantastic way to start in your own business. If you&#8217;re self motivated and independent then this fields could be an excellent choice. Before you jump in, research the company. Look up the saleability of the products and ask for reasonable projections. Base your goals on these and build from there. With patience and hard work you will make a success of affiliate marketing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rules of Affiliate Marketing </p>
<p>So you have been wanting to get into affiliate marketing, and want to know the rules. You have your website and or blog all set up and ready to go. You have chosen your niche and market that you want to promote and make money off of. You just need links to start making money. Promoting other&#8217;s services and products is not something that is difficult to do. However, you will find that with all of the many companies that offer affiliate programs, and referral options, they all have their own rules that you must follow. </p>
<p>Affiliate marketing is pretty easy to follow, that is unless you have many different programs that you are a part of. When you start getting so many that you cannot remember the rules, or the guidelines that you have to follow, you might have a problem. This is because the rules for affiliate programs are as different as the companies. Each company is allowed to make their own rules. However, you might see many similarities. That does not mean that they are copying one another, or cloning their affiliate program so to speak, but yet it means that they have the same rules.</p>
<p>Affiliate marketing rules can be so very different. They can range from not mentioning the brand names that they sell anywhere on your website, to not have that particular market in your website URL. Because they are so different for each program and company that you promote, you are going to have to be sure that you read each one well and make sure that you understand it fully. If you all ready have your URL for your website, you may not be able to participate in some of the affiliate programs. This is because you will not meet the requirements for the rules.</p>
<p>Another rule that you are going to see often when you are into affiliate marketing is the page rank rule. Some of the companies that will allow you to promote their services or products will not want you to have a higher page rank than they do. Nor will they allow you to have a website that is higher in the search engine rankings. For example, if you were promoting coffee, and you wanted to become an affiliate for Starbucks coffee. Your website would not be able to come up above the official Starbucks coffee website in the search engine results when coffee, or Starbucks coffee is used as the search term. The companies that have this rule in place for their affiliate marketing programs feel  as if your website were higher than theirs for the product that they are selling, that it would hurt their business tremendously. And, it just might. They would rather have the straight sales any day, than the commissioned sales. Who wouldn&#8217;t?</p>
<p>Keeping a spreadsheet of the affiliate marketing programs that you are a part of and their rules is a great idea. This way you are never confused and know just where you need to stand to be a part of that program. This is the best thing that you can do for your affiliate marketing business. Not only that, you will also find that some of the sites that have broken rules and have been caught have resulted in law suits. Cover your tracks and make sure that you are following the rules that are set by that company for the best results.</p>
<p>You will also find that there is a thing that is called affiliate marketing software. If you can find a program that fits your needs and will help you keep everything straight, you may not have to worry about keeping track of them yourself. Use your software to keep track and make sure that you are doing your affiliate marketing the right way. Your efforts will pay off eventually, and you will be glad that you went by the book and followed the necessary affiliate marketing rules.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.<br />
There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.</p>
<p><strong>What are these three tactics?</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. </strong><br />Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more. </p>
<p>Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing. </p>
<p>You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.</p>
<p><strong>2. Offer free reports to your readers.</strong> <br />If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.</p>
<p>Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch. </p>
<p>Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word ìfreeî because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.</p>
<p><strong>3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. </strong><br />
Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.</p>
<p>Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.<br />
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic. </p>
<p>The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part. </p>
<p>Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Avoiding Affiliate Marketing Scams</strong></p>
<p>Many of us are upset and frustrated with our current jobs. The low pay and sense of being undervalued drive many of us to dream of our own businesses. However, the costs combines with the risk factors stops most of us in our tracks. Affiliate marketing is a way for people to work for themselves with no risk. There is no cost to you and you&#8217;re paid on performance. However, today one has to be careful. There are plenty of scammers and con artists out there that are more than happy to take you money and hard work off of you. Unfortunately, affiliate marketing is not immune to these scammers. Daily, people are taken in by promises of big money with relatively little effort. In this article we will teach you some of the signs to look for and tell you how to spot a scam.</p>
<p>When you join an affiliate marketing scheme, you either going to sell a product or a service. With products, you usually have a choice and range to sell. How you decide to do this is largely up to you. You could also sell a service. Web page designs as well as increasing sales and internet traffic are all examples of services offered by affiliate marketing programs. </p>
<p>How many times have you seen as ad on the internet promising huge earnings? Things like &#8216;Earn 1000$ a day&#8217; or &#8216;Join our program now and become a millionaire!&#8217;. If your look closely at these ads they are not actually selling anything. Any company that is just selling the opportunity to make money is likely a scam. True, some affiliate marketing companies will have attention grabbing headlines like the ones mentioned above. However, if you go on to read the ad and information, there will likely be a detailed description of what they company sells. They will also have a disclaimer and terms and conditions listed. </p>
<p>These companies that offer, the opportunity to make money are likely pyramid schemes. The only people paying money in are the ones actually joining. There is no income being created, just money being passed from person to person. Not only are these scams and you&#8217;ll loose what you invested, they are also illegal and you can face prosecution.</p>
<p>Another thing to watch out for is no free participation. If you have to pay to join then you may have stumbled upon a scam or what is known as a multilevel marketing program. Multi-level marketing programs are completely legal and some people make good livings out of them. However, if you&#8217;re not successful you may end up purchasing a bunch of products that you cannot sell.</p>
<p>True affiliate programs are free. That is part of their attraction. There are no costs to you and they should also be risk free. Any Affiliate marketing programs that demands your money is not an affiliate program. You should ask yourself why they are misrepresenting themselves this way if they are legitimate.</p>
<p>Many of us dream of being our own bosses. We would love to be able to take control of our lives and careers. The attraction of answering only to you combined with setting your own working hours and committing what your choose bring loads of people into the affiliate marketing schemes. Affiliate marketing can be an excellent way for a highly motivated, creative person to make an excellent living. There are some wonderful programs out there just waiting to be joined. However, for every great program there is likely one that is fraudulent. Con artists operate in many areas and unfortunate affiliate marketing is not immune.</p>
<p>Before joining, check to see what the company is selling. If they are not selling goods or services then they are likely an illegal pyramid scheme. If they require your own money to get started then they are what are known as a multi level marketing program. Affiliate marketing can be a great opportunity but you need to do your homework.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Top 3 Ways to Boost Your Affiliate Commissions Overnight </strong></p>
<p>The ideal world of affiliate marketing does not require having your won website, dealing with customers, refunds, product development and maintenance. This is one of the easiest ways of launching into an online business and earning more profits.</p>
<p>Assuming you are already into an affiliate program, what would be the next thing you would want to do? Double, or even triple, your commissions, right? How do you do that? </p>
<p><strong>Here are some powerful tips on how to boost your affiliate program commissions overnight.</strong></p>
<p>1. Know the best program and products to promote. Obviously, you would want to promote a program that will enable you to achieve the greatest profits in the shortest possible time. </p>
<p>There are several factors to consider in selecting such a program. Choose the ones that have a generous commission structure. Have products that fit in with your target audience. And that has a solid track record of paying their affiliate easily and on time. If you cannot seem to increase your investments, dump that program and keep looking for better ones. </p>
<p>There are thousands of affiliate programs online which gives you the reason to be picky. You may want to select the best to avoid losing your advertising dollars.</p>
<p>Write free reports or short ebooks to distribute from your site. There is a great possibility that you are competing with other affiliates that are promoting the same program. If you start writing short report related to the product you are promoting, you will be able to distinguish yourself from the other affiliates. </p>
<p>In the reports, provide some valuable information for free. If possible, add some recommendations about the products. With ebooks, you get credibility. Customers will see that in you and they will be enticed to try out what you are offering. </p>
<p>2. Collect and save the email addresses of those who download your free ebooks. It is a known fact that people do not make a purchase on the first solicitation. You may want to send out your message more than six times to make a sale. </p>
<p>This is the simple reason why you should collect the contact information of those who downloaded your reports and ebooks. You can make follow-ups on these contacts to remind them to make a purchase from you.</p>
<p>Get the contact information of a prospect before sending them to the vendor&#8217;s website. Keep in mind that you are providing free advertisement for the product owners. You get paid only when you make a sale. If you send prospects directly to the vendors, chances are they would be lost to you forever.</p>
<p>But when you get their names, you can always send other marketing messages to them to be able to earn an ongoing commission instead of a one-time sale only.</p>
<p>Publish an online newsletter or Ezine. It is always best to recommend a product to someone you know than to sell to a stranger. This is the purpose behind publishing your own newsletter. This also allows you to develop a relationship based on trust with your subscribers. </p>
<p>This strategy is a delicate balance between providing useful information with a sales pitch. If you continue to write informative editorials you will be able to build a sense of reciprocity in your readers that may lead them to support you by buying your products.</p>
<p>3. Ask for higher than normal commission from merchants. If you are already successful with a particular promotion, you should try and approach the merchant and negotiate a percentage commission for your sales. </p>
<p>If the merchant is smart, he or she will likely grant your request rather than lose a valuable asset in you. Keep in mind that you are a zero-risk investment to your merchant; so do not be shy about requesting for addition in your commissions. Just try to be reasonable about it. </p>
<p>Write strong pay Per Click ads. PPC search engine is the most effective means of advertising online. As an affiliate, you can make a small income just by managing PPC campaigns such as Google AdWords and Overture. Then you should try and monitor them to see which ads are more effective and which ones to dispose of. </p>
<p>Try out these strategies and see the difference it can make to your commission checks in the shortest of time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in the days when I went to high school back in the mid-80&#8242;s the business world was a very different place.</p>
<p>Computers were only owned by business people, the internet was something we had heard of but didn&#8217;t really know what it was, and the phrase &#8216;Google it&#8217; had never been spoken.</p>
<p>I remember my Grade 10 teacher telling me if I did ordinary level maths I would never be able to get a job with a computer when I left school.<br />
The funny thing was while my mathematical ability sucked, I had been writing games for my old Commodore Computer for a few years already before school each morning.<br />
I actually don&#8217;t think the teacher, even with a degree in teaching, knew how to turn on a computer himself, so he was comparing his abilities with a &#8216;good&#8217; education, to my own current level of abilities.</p>
<p>My teachers words of non-inspiration and lack of vision prompted me to fly the school nest early and learn to fly on my own.<br />
So, my first job when I was 16, funnily enough involved a computer which I had to learn from scratch with no training.</p>
<p>I now spend most of my productive and creative hours working on one of my Mac computers, assisting and educating others in building online empires, as well as run a number of online businesses myself. I am also initially self-taught, completing advanced courses in web development and marketing later on.</p>
<p>Not bad for a kid that was once told by his teacher that he would never have a job with a computer.</p>
<p><strong>My point is the education system is flawed.</strong><br />
Children are not taught at school how to build an online business when they are 10 years old, so that by the time they leave school they could easily by earning a full time income online, while still being educated in the classroom.<br />
While kids are taught basic social skills in the classroom and in the playground, they are not taught social networking skills which can help them reach much further than just their small network of friends but communicate with the entire world.</p>
<p>I know of a number of children who are financially self-sufficient in their early teens as a result of setting up simple online businesses.<br />
They weren&#8217;t taught this at school, but they make more in one day than many adults make in one week, and they don&#8217;t rely on their parents (or the government) for hand-outs.</p>
<p><strong>Why is this education not taught at school?</strong></p>
<p>The point is, the internet had opened up the door to easy self-generated wealth, where you don&#8217;t need the university degree, a big flash office or huge overheads to be successful.<br />
You can make money literally while you sleep, work the hours you want, and set your own level of wealth you wish to achieve.</p>
<p>It can take as little as just a day or two to set up an entire online business with no major cash outlay or stock required, or generate income from affiliate marketing, to turn over a healthy steady income. There are literally thousands of ways to generate a full time six-figure income online.</p>
<p>And the best thing is anyone can achieve this wealth, no matter what you teacher tried and tells you!</p>
