Donuts Are Not Just for Cops!
Jun 1st
Do you remember your first ever visit to a Krispy Kreme store?
I can still vividly remember wondering how I could ever choose between the glazed donuts, cinnamon twists, ones with fillings, and of course, the ones with those delicious crumbly toppings on them….
I was in heaven!
Have you had moments like that, your first ……… (drop me a comment)
Maybe for you, it was the first time that you upgraded from free-to-air television programs, to the subscription service with 1020 extra channels to choose from.
When I discovered Standing Start Profits I had a similar experience that reminded me of my heady sugar filled donut discovery.
At the heart of this site is a forum full of people who know how to succeed online, and aren’t afraid to share their knowledge. The members area is chocka-block full of video training tools, ebooks and new items that are added regularly.
It’s like looking into that beautiful Krispy Kreme glass cabinet.
There are copywriters, programmers, designers, authors and marketing specialists.
Lee makes it a meeting place for us all, offering competitions that even the one week old internet marketer gets a chance at winning – and the prizes are pretty amazing!
He also buys products that all marketers will find valuable – and then includes them in the price. Best thing is that he asks
members what we want him to buy next!)
So.. the price?
How much do you think this would be worth? A vibrant, accepting, challenging and exciting place where you can:
• Find out how ANYONE can start to earn an income online in 30days. (By people who actually have)
• Have 24/7 access to the exclusive mentoring forums.
• Video Tutorials teaching how YOU can create a product that is in demand, set up a killer JV, launch a product and get noticed and many more.
• Access the Marketing Tools Resource center, which is updated regularly, with products that members actually request.
Oh! And I forgot to mention the best thing! Lee offers a no questions asked 30 day money back guarantee. So, even if you
benefit from the cache of resources, and the mentoring available – you can still get your money back, no questions asked. The only risk you run is the risk of missing out on this opportunity.
Tired and frustrated? Sick of the hype? Can’t connect the dots?

Life is a roller coaster ride. Enjoy the highs and grit your teeth through the lows
I’ve recently been reading many blogs that are new to me, I’ve found some really excellent blogs and far too many poor quality, soulless, bad blogs. The thing that made some of the more interesting blogs stand out is when the author share real life experiences with their readers. This has inspired me to let you guys know more about me and my world, and a what a crazy world it is.
In the last 15 years since leaving Art School I have been a Fine Art Painter & Sculptor , working in Stop-Frame Animation, Professional Puppet-making, Model Making, Exhibition Design, Furniture Design. Then in 2001 I had a serious accident where I lost the use of my right hand for over a year(fell through a glass window ripping 4 main tendons). Being right handed and being that all my work was based around me creating with my hands, my business was quickly collapsing around me. Then it just got worse, from being so stressed I started having random epileptic seizures. Occasional sudden loss of consciousness, with the use of only one arm caused me to smash my self up even more. I was not a happy chappy. I then lost my girlfriend of 6 years, turned to drink and was heading down a deep dark road.
It took a year for my damaged right hand to be ok, turning out that I had only 80% feeling back which was better than nothing. The problem was that in that 1 year I had lost my business, my love and my creative ability leading to me to losing my passion, drive and general get up n go. My family and some of my friends stuck with me through these tough times but I was starting to not appreciate them also. Some thing had to be done, what was I gonna do ?
November 2002. One afternoon I sat down and wrote all my problems and all my options on paper. Sort of like a Mind-map. By order of denomination I had figured that my best option was to go traveling. I had traveled a little around the UK and Europe before but never further than that and nothing longer than a “holiday”.
Serious Times Mean Taking Serious Actions,
3 days of research on the internet and I buy the ticket. Now I’m committed. And have to learn as much as I can before I go. Guide books and Backpack time.
My ticket, £925.00 ($1,800) for a round the world air ticket, leaving 27th Dec, so I get to do Christmas and leaving parties together then jump on the plane to my first destination for New Year celebrations.
The Ticket was a bunch of flights with open dates and some overland parts along the way.
Manchester to HongKong then make my own way overland through China and my next flight was to Bangkok. From there I would take as long as I like heading overland thru Thaland, Malaysia to Singapore where my flight was to Auckland(New Zealand) then a flight to Melborne (South Australia) then with a 3month visa (where I’m aloud to work if I want) I head overland to my next flight from Cains (North Australia) to The Cook Islands then a flight to Los Angeles (USA) and a flight back to the UK. I did it in 362 days and what an adventure it was ! (but that’s a whole other story).
After that year of adventure, I had came back to the UK like a new person. But now I’d had a taste of the traveling life I quickly got bored of the day to day life in England and sold up all my stuff and did some quick cash in hand work for my friend and I was off again. This time I was going to travel mainly around South-East Asia. China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand Malaysia, Burma etc. (Mainly because my money lasts a lot longer in these places)
Zooming fast forward to Today (6 years later) and guess what, I am still Traveling ! It has been incredible the amount of experiences I have crammed into my time. But I did not have a big stash of money to keep me going, I have had to use my entrepreneurial skills to enable myself to continue with my adventures. Teaching English is always an option, but I like more of a challenge. I have been involved in all sorts of bizarre things from helping setting up a Monkey School in Cambodia to being an extra in Chinese movies, Designing Resorts in Laos and my most recent was the building from scratch a successful Indian Restaurant in Thailand. I have a beautiful local girlfriend who takes care of the team of seven staff running this great little business. The Restaurant does not make a fortune but enough for me to survive whilst I work on my current project of Making Money Online.
So as I type this I am doing so from my office out the back of the Indian in Thailand, wearing my shorts and appreciating the environment I am in. It is simply beautiful. And to do something as simple as to go for a walk and buy some fruit from the local market is still a great adventure as I am exposed to new interesting parts of the local culture every day. *Another bonus of owning an Curry House is that I get to eat as much Indian food as I like, luckily my chefs also cook western food and Thai food if I fancy a change.
Of course I miss home, my family and friends but not as much as I thought I would. And my family and friends love me living out here because they have an excuse to go on holiday and come and see me. I have been to back to England twice in the last 6 years and I see it more like me going on holiday to England. Sorry but it is just to cold, rain… and I could go on….. but I won’t.
So right now I am riding the roller coaster of life through one of the high parts and trying my best to enjoy and appreciate every moment. Maybe sometime in the future I’ll have to rough it through some low times but that’s ok, I’ll just grit my teeth and get on with it. Bring on the “Good times”.

7 Tips for Beginners for Building Blog Traffic
Jun 12th

I have been blogging for a living for a little over a year. In that time I have learned a lot about what it takes to build blog traffic. This is one of the main challenges that a new blogger faces. What is the point of having a blog if no one is reading it? And for those bloggers who want to monetize their blogs, having decent traffic is mandatory.
I am confident that if you follow the steps below you WILL begin to see a quick improvement in your blog traffic:
1. Learn the Bells and Whistles
Whatever blogging platform you use, whether it be Blogger.Com, Moveable Type, WordPress, or many of the others out there, before you can become an effective blogger I think you need to learn what makes that puppy operate at maximum efficiency. That doesn’t mean you can’t start blogging, but to me that would be like trying to ride a bicycle for the first time without training wheels. You are gonna fall, but keep working on it and you will quickly be sailing confidently. In other words, read the instructions and do some research. WordPress is my blogging platform of choice due to the fact that they have so many plugins and applications that can help you have an easier and more productive blogging experience and also help you gain traffic.
2. Titles are Crucial
There are several reasons that the title of your post is so important. One is that readers will be drawn to what you have to say if your title piques their interest. The second reason is that you want your posts to be picked up by search engines. Sites like WordTracker will help you find keywords so that you can phrase your title for better search engine optimization.
3. Content is King
I started hearing this long before I started blogging. When I was writing freelance and hanging out on writer’s message boards three years ago “content is king” was being said and it is is especially true for blogging. If you don’t have anything interesting to say, who is going to read your blog? Blogging is a relationship between you and the reader, just as reading a book is a relationship between the reader and the author. Be yourself, be honest and genuine, create original content that is interesting and informative, use keywords for SEO, create posts with ordered lists, offer advice, write post that invite readers to join in a discussion, and you WILL begin to gain a loyal readership. And EDIT! Don’t dare publish your posts with grammar, spelling or punctuation errors. Treat your blog with professionalism in this aspect and you will be viewed as a professional.
4. Comments are Queen
One of the most exciting things about blogging, in the beginning anyway, is when you start getting comments. Then you know that at least someone was interested enough in what you had to say to reply. Be sure to answer all comments and keep a tight rein on getting rid of spam. There are programs in the editor of your blog software that will help you with this, but spam inevitably finds its way into your comment section., so keep your eyes peeled for it.
Trackbacks rock! That means that someone thought enough of what you had to say to refer to it on their own blog. You are definitely on the right track when you start getting trackbacks.
5. Submit Your Blog to Search Engines and Directories
Submit your blog and/or RSS feed to the search engines of Google, Yahoo, and MSN. This is free. And also list your blog is several big directories. One of best I have found is Best Blog Directory And RSS Submission Sites http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/ but there are tons of free directories you can list your blog with. This is time consuming but it needs to be done. You don’t have to go overboard, just make sure you have spent a good bit of time hitting the top directories.
6. Comment on Other Blogs and in Forums
I can’t count the number of backlinks I have gotten simply by commenting on blogs or in forums. Now when I say that I don’t mean go around spamming these sites. Find a couple of forums where you really are interested and want to be a regular contributor and put your blog link in your signature. Comment on blogs that are in your same niche or that you truly find interesting. The relationships you form here will become the meat and potatoes of most beginning bloggers’ traffic.
7. Tagging and the Social Networking Sites
Sounds kind of like the name of some new alternative rock band, huh? By tagging, I am talking about using Technorati tags in your post. This will ping Technorati and help you gain readership with so little effort. There are many plugins for WordPress that will automatically create tags for you. I am not sure about other blogging platforms because I don’t use them. As far as social networking sites, jeez, there are more out there now than I could ever list. But Stumble Upon has been the most effective for me, along with Blog Catalog. Each blogger has their favorites. Some people love Digg, some folks swear by MyBlogLog or Technorati (I consider any site that has a bunch of bloggers sharing information “Social Networking” so don’t sue me for putting Digg and Stumble Upon in the same class as Blog Catalog, Technorati and MyBlogLog, it’s all traffic building.)
There is a LOT more to traffic building than what I have listed here. These are just the main things I have found to get you started as a beginning blogger. Once you have gotten your feet good and wet following the steps above, my advice would be to follow the lead of blogs like Dosh Dosh, ProBlogger, and many other A list bloggers who will lead you further down the primrose path of blog traffic building.
Good luck and happy blogging!
