			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have asked myself that many times in the past and I can say without question the answer is YES! I&#8217;ve been making money online for years. There are many factors that go into making a full time income online, but anyone can make at least some money online. All it takes is effort. Learning is only one aspect of the equation. Knowing HOW to do something doesn&#8217;t make it happen. You have to take action. There are no short cuts. If you have wondered if you can really make money working from home online, you can. Just don&#8217;t go into it expecting to make a killing right away.</p>
<p>Would an extra hundred dollars a month help you out? Of course it would! Start with that as a goal and build from there. Making your first dollar online is the biggest challenge and after that it just gets easier. Focus on the basics and don&#8217;t believe everything you read. Too many people are selling money making programs on the internet and you have to avoid  falling victim to greed and the desire to get something for nothing. Making money online requires discipline and effort, just like any other business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With all the ways to make money online you&#8217;d think it would be easy for people to earn money online every time they set out to. So why is it that so many people get all fired up about the opportunities available to them, but they still are not making the income they want to make? Probably one of the best ways I can think of explaining this is to use myself as an example. I have associated with dozens of the top internet marketers in one way or another through forums, groups, partnerships, joint ventures, trainings, conferences and so on. Despite my involvement over the years, I&#8217;ve still struggled to make a serious sustainable living relying solely on internet marketing and online income. That is not to say that I haven&#8217;t made some good money (I have), but until recently I&#8217;ve not found a way to <a title="Earn Money Online Everytime" href="http://businessdreams.com/mining-money-online/" target="_self">earn money online every time</a> I set out to.<a href="http://businessdreams.com/mining-money-online/"><img class="alignright  size-medium wp-image-115" title="mining-money-online" src="http://businessdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mining-money-online-cover-med-243x300.jpg" alt="Earn Money Online" width="243" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The key is systems. If you get yourself a system and plug into it on a regular basis, you are pretty much guaranteed to earn money. The problem is finding the right system. With so many people pitching their here to day, gone tomorrow methods of gaming Google and the other fad methods of making money, it gets very confusing, especially for beginning online marketers. How can you tell who really knows what they are talking about and who is simply selling a flashy product to make themselves money? I&#8217;ve figured that out as well. There are only a handful of reliable people that I have found online who really give good information. Some of them don&#8217;t even ask anything in return. They are just sick of all the hype and BS that is being put out there. I&#8217;ll tell you about them in future posts.</p>
<p>In the mean time, I&#8217;d like to offer you something that has never been offered before. I am giving away free copies of one of the top internet marketing products available. I personally own this product and use the information on a regular basis to make money online. It was developed by Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey who also make the Blueprint series of internet products.</p>
<p>Get it for FREE right now ==&gt;  <a title="Earn Money Online Every Time" href="http://businessdreams.com/mining-money-online" target="_blank">Mining Money Online</a></p>
<p>This is not a watered down version of the full course &#8211; it is a full blown internet marketing course that has sold for as much as $297.00 or more. I highly recommend you get your Free copy right now and start reading the information and watching the videos. Listen intently and take notes. Then immediately take action! Don&#8217;t put it off. If you listen and do what they tell you to do, you are on your way to the life of your dreams. However, if you go through this information and do nothing with it, well what do you think is going to happen? That&#8217;s right &#8211; nothing will happen. This should be obvious to people but I&#8217;ve learned that it isn&#8217;t for some reason. Put this information to use and you just might earn money online every time you want to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been in internet marketing for any length of time, you&#8217;ve seen a product launch or two (or a hundred). If you&#8217;re on any email list, you see them all the time. You see new software, ebooks, courses, videos and all sorts of things to get your hopes up and build up your dreams of owning a successful home based business. You know you want to quit your job and work for yourself, but how? There is so much hype around that you really don&#8217;t know where to start.</p>
<p>Well what if there was a tool that would help you&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Easily discover massively profitable markets and niches?</li>
<li>Quickly identify the highest paying Adsense markets?</li>
<li>Pin-point super-profitable ecommerce niches ?</li>
<li>Highlight high volume keywords @ 5 cents a click on Google?</li>
<li>Effectively market Clickbank (or any other) products through SEO?</li>
<li>Profitably promote CPA offers through Adwords?</li>
</ul>
<p>Well listen up, &#8211; the following video is about to reveal an incredible new Internet Marketing tool that has the potential to multiply your income TEN-FOLD in the remaining months of 2010 and beyond &#8211; just wait &#8217;til you see it in action!</p>
<p>If you are short of time, then hit this link right now and check it out ==&gt; <a title="IMEye Official Site" href="http://businessdreams.com/go/imeye" target="_self">IMEye Official Video</a></p>
<p>&#8230;however, I strongly encourage you to read the following in FULL. (<a href="http://www.sacherassociates.com.au/strategic_business_planning.html">sacher associates</a>)<br />
Here&#8217;s the scoop&#8230;</p>
<p>As I mentioned in my previous post, Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey are the clever creators of Niche Blueprint, Commission Blueprint and loads more infamous Internet Marketing products. They&#8217;ve just spent $100,000 and recruited a work force of 120 people (including myself) in order to produce the most game changing tool in Internet Marketing since Word Tracker arrived all those years ago. It&#8217;s called IMeye.</p>
<p>It works in a COMPLETELY different way than other popular tools like Keywordspy, Spyfu, Market Samurai &amp; Keyword Elite. These tools are all excellent, by the way, just different.</p>
<p>How? What makes IMEye different than these other tools? Well, IMeye uses a proprietary method of gathering the VERY BEST keywords out there, doing ALL the analysis and research on those keywords&#8230; and then storing them in a HUGE database ready for your request. <strong>So before you even know to ask &#8211; IMeye HAS the answers!</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>All YOU have to do is tell IMeye what criteria YOU want for your next big opportunity &#8211; and IMeye delivers the TOP MATCHING keywords &#8211; instantly! </strong></em></p>
<p>Almost all of the confusing, tiresome search work is eliminated and with a push of a button, you will be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Rake in tons of cash by identifying the highest paying Adsense markets and then being shown targeted low competition keywords phrases that you can dominate on Google almost immediately.</li>
<li>Pin point super-profitable ecommerce niches that have minimal competition but have the potential for millions of dollars in sales.</li>
<li>Find high volume keywords which are just 5 cents a click on Google so you can drive tens of thousands of interested prospects to high converting Affiliate offers.</li>
<li>Get access to VAST sources of untapped traffic that you could use for any number of affiliate or online marketing projects!</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8230;and that is literally just the beginning.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s almost impossible to describe in words how powerful IMeye is, what the possibilities are, and how much money you could make from using it, so Steve and Tim have created a video that shows it in action. Click the link below NOW to see the IMEye Video, and grab your free report that demonstrates just some of its extensive features&#8230;</p>
<p>==&gt; <a title="IMEye Free Report" href="http://businessdreams.com/go/imeye" target="_self">IMEye FREE Report</a></p>
<p>As one of the few who helped with this project, I will have private, early access to IMEye beginning tomorrow. I will get a behind the scenes look how IMEye works and I can&#8217;t wait! Look for more coming soon on this incredible tool.</p>

It is a brand new product from the creators of Commission Blueprint and Niche Blueprint as well as many other tools and resources for internet marketers. Personally, I am a big fan of Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey&#8217;s work. I own several of their products and use them regularly to earn money online. IMEye is their latest niche research tool and it is a game changer. I&#8217;ve seen the demo video for IMEye and cannot wait to get my hands on it tomorrow for the beta release.</p>
<p>Yes, tomorrow. I am one of the people who has been providing data for IMEye and will be getting pre-launch access days before it is available to the public. I am very excited about this and will no doubt be spending the next few days staring at my computer screen gobbling up niches that the software finds for me. I will do a full <a title="IMEye Review" href="http://businessdreams.com/imeye/" target="_self">IMEye review</a> once I can access the tool.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s IMEye, you ask? It is a basically niche/keyword research tool, but it is not like anything else available anywhere. Most tools allow you to research a niche once you have some idea what you are looking for. IMEye finds niches and keywords for you and then some. You enter some general criteria such as competing pages, search volume, CPC, etc. and it gives you lists of keywords and keyword phrases that meet that criteria.</p>
<p>Check out the <a title="IMEye Video" href="http://businessdreams.com/go/imeye" target="_blank">IMEye video</a> to see it in action.</p>
<p>It is truly amazing. If you are in internet marketing, you may know that the most common issue people have is finding profitable niches to go after. This tool solves that issue completely. There is no possible way you can fail with this tool. Unless, of course, you don&#8217;t do any work. Then nothing can help you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I made a decision back in December &#8217;08 to temporarily put all of my <a href="http://businessdreams.com">home based business</a> activities on hold and go to work helping a friend get all the technical aspects of his startup institutional investment advisory business setup and operational. It has really been a long  nine months for me and the time has come for it to end. My friend is merging his company with several business associates and they are going to take things to a whole new level. Part of this includes outsourcing most of what I do every day so my services are really not needed there any more. <span id="more-94"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;m seriously ready to hang it up anyway so this is a welcome relief. The daily routine, the 30 minute drive, sitting in an office everyday, brown bagging a lunch, reporting to someone else, trying to meet expectations, etc. etc. None of it was very enjoyable for me. I much prefer working for myself, from home, online.</p>
<p>I believe things happen for a reason, so I&#8217;m not questioning my decision to go and work there, but I can&#8217;t help but wonder if I would have been better off spending the past nine months focusing on my internet marketing activities instead. It doesn&#8217;t matter because the reality is that I needed the money at the time, so I accepted the offer. Now things are different so I&#8217;m looking forward to taking my own business to a whole new level. All of my websites are still up and running. I am older and wiser, a little anyway. All my domains are another year older too. Now I can really focus on getting back to my home based business again. Where do I begin?</p>
<p>Well I started by making a quick post to some of my blogs to let the big G know they are still alive. I&#8217;m going to take an inventory of all my sites to remind myself where I am, what I have, and what the status of everything is right now. I also built a new computer recently so a lot of my business software is not even installed right now. This gives me an opportunity to get setup properly with all the tools I need. I have some catching up to do for sure, which is fine with me. I could use a little &#8220;detoxing&#8221; from that routine anyway. I have a lot of things already in the works which I will discuss in future posts so be on the lookout.</p>
<p>Another thing I am going to focus on is time blocking or focus time. I run more than one business so I need to learn to focus on one activity at a time. I am pretty much ADD all day long and it is not very productive. I go from one thing to another all the time and it has gotten on my nerves. I am going to make myself a schedule which will have me working on one business activity at a time in blocks of time. Internet marketing activities would include blocking out one or two hours at a clip for article writing or link building. During that time I will do nothing else. I also plan on scheduling down time as well so I make sure to stay healthy and happy. I&#8217;ll share more on this as it develops.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my last post, <a href="http://businessdreams.com/home-based-business/breaking-free-from-the-hype-of-internet-marketing-part-one/">Breaking Free From the Hype of Internet Marketing Part One</a>, I let you folks know that I would be making some changes around here and going back to what really works if you are trying to <a title="make money from home using the internet" href="http://businessdreams.com">make money from home using the internet</a>. I said I would be focusing more on listening to my chosen mentors and avoiding all the hype and sales pitches. Well, I&#8217;m happy to report that I am doing just that. However, I did change my mind about the Commission Blueprint refund. Here&#8217;s why.<span id="more-93"></span>I learned quite a but from the <a href="http://businessdreams.com/go/commissionblueprint">Commission Blueprint</a> program and took away some usable tidbits that I will be using to help my bottom line, so I felt that it would not be right to ask for a refund. I believe the program is a good value and with the lifetime forum access and updates they are offering, it worth the $77 I paid. Let it be known, however, that I do not intend to do any Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising any time soon though. Too expensive.</p>
<p>As I mentioned, I have a few &#8220;mentors&#8221; that I listen to and trust for information on internet marketing and making money online. There are many people that make great posts about the subject and I follow a lot of bloggers for tips and advice on various other topics as well. You can&#8217;t listen to everyone though. There are various ways to accomplish your online business goals, but you have to do what works for you, how you function as an individual and how you want to operate your business. You must make choices about how you will be operating your online business.</p>
<p>I want to point something out here that many people don&#8217;t really think about. The people that are really making HUGE money online are invisible to you and me. You have no idea who they are or what they are doing and they don&#8217;t want to be known. They do not teach or share anything with the online community. They make their money and keep their mouths shut. They do not create products about how to make money online. They don&#8217;t give a damn about how many Feedburner subscribers they have or number of visitors they get to their social blog. They are busy making money and that&#8217;s all they care about.</p>
<p>These are the people you want to learn from. The ones that are making real money. You want to know how they actually do it. The problem is, there are very few people that would be willing to spend their time teaching others their secrets. But there are a few who do just that.</p>
<p>I will be making a series of posts about the people I choose to follow. I will be summarizing what they do, how they do it and what I take away from their expertise. There are only a few because most of the people that spew &#8220;how to&#8221; info online, even those that are considered &#8220;gurus&#8221; in the internet marketing world, are basically just full of shit. They are marketers selling a product. Many are just flat out lying to people just to sell ebooks and other higher priced products. They are scammers preying on the ignorant.</p>
<p>So how do you keep from getting scammed? Who do you listen to?  Where do you start if you want to <a href="http://businessdreams.com">make money from home with an online business</a>? Find out in the next exciting episode of Business Dreams!</p>
<p>Seriously, I will be making a series of posts about the people that I follow and why.You may or may not want to follow the same people as me, so I will also be pointing out a few other business models and who might be helpful for that as well. Until next time&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been bouncing around a bit lately with how I am doing things on this site and some others that I own. Like many people trying to make extra money online with a <a href="http://businessdreams.com">home based business</a>, I have purchased a lot of different ebooks and programs from Clickbank other affiliate marketers over the years. To date, nothing has really been a worthwhile investment, though I have learned quite a lot about a variety of methods for making money with a website somehow. My last few posts about Commission Blueprint demonstrate that. The program is quite informative and well put together. I learned a lot about Pay Per Click marketing and how to do things the way the authors do. The problem is, I got caught up in the hype of a new product launch and purchased something I just don&#8217;t need.<span id="more-91"></span></p>
<p>In addition, Commission Blueprint really does not provide all the information you really need to go out and run that sort of business. As I watched all the videos and participated in the forums on their site, it was very apparent that many people would be bailing on that program. A lot of people are very clueless about the entire process and really have no idea what they are getting themselves into. People are talking about how they hope they finally found something that will work for them.</p>
<p>The truth is, less than 10% of the people that bought that program will put it to use at all and many of those will quit within the first few weeks after losing hundreds of dollars on Adwords spending despite the training they received. There are too many variables and many of them require a basic understanding of the internet, marketing, dishonesty, morals and plain old common sense. A lot of people do not have common sense when it comes to business opportunities on the internet.</p>
<p>As I said, I have purchased many products like this one, and I don&#8217;t mean to pick on Commission Blueprint because I think it is a pretty good product, but it will not help  too many people make money online. The biggest winners will be the product authors, Clickbank and the affiliates that could come up with a good enough bribe to get people to purchase.</p>
<p>I have decided to get a refund for my Commission Blueprint purchase and dedicate myself the true principles of earning a living online. I need to stay focused on the teachings of my chosen mentors which I will discuss in my next post. I will be following up with my story and some of the concepts and principles I will be focusing on with my home based internet business. I think I have finally seen the light so to speak and need to make some changes to get where I want to be. My first step is to make these posts and get it all out on the table.</p>
<p>In my next post I will get more into what I will be doing and who I will be listening to from now on. I am part of a very knowledgeable network of professional online marketers and I need to spend more time listening to their advice and less time getting caught up in the Internet Marketing Hype.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://businessdreams.com/go/bmd"><img class="alignleft" src="http://bookmarkingdemon.com/images/box1.jpg" alt="Bookmarking Demon BMD" width="140" height="168" /></a>The countdown has finally begun for the new release of <a href="http://businessdreams.com/go/bmd">Bookmarking Demon</a> (<a href="http://businessdreams.com/go/bmd">BMD</a>). Users have been waiting for months for BMD 4 to be released and we are finally getting a look at the new product. BMD 4 is not just an upgrade, it is a complete redesign of the product. Take a look at the screenshots and you can clearly see that difference in the preview. The new version of BMD 4 is going to be web-based and will have a lot of new features. <span id="more-89"></span></p>
<p>Here is the latest blog post from Edwin Brian which was also emailed out to current customers last night about BMD4:</p>
<blockquote><p>Here are the new features of BMD4:<br />
Bookmark to 100+ Social Bookmarking Sites.<br />
20 Main Sites + Scuttle Sites + Scuttle Plus Sites + Pligg Sites</p>
<p>Q: Why are some of the popular bookmarking sites not included?<br />
A: Although there are many sites but most of them provide useless links.<br />
Example: redirect links, hidden private profile page, no rssfeeds</p>
<p>Q: Some software claim to have 100+ social bookmarking sites too, what is the different between those software and BMD?<br />
A: They do not have account creation feature. You have to manually create your accounts. They include a lot of foreign and niche related bookmarking sites which are not &#8216;general&#8217;.</p>
<p>Add your own Scuttle Sites, Scuttle Plus Sites and Pligg sites<br />
Besides having access to our own list of scuttle, scuttleplus and pligg sites, you can add your own into BMD4.</p>
<p>New Randomize Descriptions<br />
Besides the current #break#, you can now mix it with { | }<br />
For example: {Cheap|Best|Cheapest} Speed Reading {Guide|Course|Program}</p>
<p>If you use plr articles for your description, you can use our new smart #break# feature that will automatically break your description into snippets for bookmarking.</p>
<p>Bookmark to Random Accounts<br />
New randomize feature to randomly select a % of the accounts for bookmarking.</p>
<p>Pinging Feature<br />
When you create your bookmarking accounts, the Rss Feed of your bookmarking accounts will be placed into a new Ping tab. You can now ping your profile&#8217;s rss feed from BMD4. This is the final missing piece to the whole bookmarking process.</p>
<p>Hide your bookmarks with random sites<br />
Now you can randomly grab urls from the internet to mix with your urls. This will hide your links and make your bookmarking account more legit. No other application has this feature.</p>
<p>Two modes available &#8211; Beginner Mode &amp; Experts Mode</p>
<p>Multi-thread for faster bookmarking</p>
<p>No installation needed, BMD4 will now be portable</p>
<p>Bookmarking Site Updates will be live, you no longer need to download new software</p>
<p>We have removed Scuttle searcher and Proxy Server searcher from BMD4 due to the poor results.</p>
<p>BMD4 will be sold at $147 + zero$ monthly fee. All existing members will lock in on current price and get the upgrade for free.</p>
<p>Sample Screenshot For Beginner Mode:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://bookmarkingdemon.com/images/bmdsmall1.jpg" alt="BMD4 Beginner" width="500" height="325" /></p>
<p>Sample Screenshot For Experts Mode:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://bookmarkingdemon.com/images/bmdsmall2.jpg" alt="BMD4 Advanced" width="500" height="324" /></p></blockquote>
<p>Some of these features are very good news and will help internet marketers do a much better and more efficient job of building your links. The added Pligg feature is great as is the Ping feature. Having more social sites is always a plus, and BMD 4 will be web-based which is great news for Mac users.</p>
<p>If you do not this product yet, <a href="http://businessdreams.com/go/bmd">go get BMD now</a>. The price will be going up with the release in a couple weeks and previous owners will be upgraded for free. The price is currently $97 and it will be going to $147. If you are looking for an incredible tools for increasing your link building production, you MUST have this tool.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I mentioned in my earlier post on <a href="http://businessdreams.com/category/commission-blueprint/">Commission Blueprint</a>, I will be writing up a full <strong>Commission Blueprint Review</strong> very soon. I did purchase the program and I have been going through it diligently, but there is so much to go through that it is taking me much longer than expected. I have  been watching the videos, reviewing the recommended software programs and links and working with the included templates for a day and a half now and I still have more to go! Here is a little feedback on it so far&#8230;<span id="more-87"></span></p>
<p>In a nutshell &#8211; this program is awesome. I cannot see a hint of scam in this one folks. The creators obviously really do this business full time and make it happen for them on a daily basis. It has been a while since an internet marketing product has really pleased me so much. The quality and depth of the information provided is impressive and then some. <strong>Commission Blueprint</strong> includes several hours of video, samples and templates for ads, landing pages, lead capture pages, tracking systems, Excel spreadsheets and a host of other things. I have found several tips and strategies that were worth the price of the program on their own. I am truly impressed with the program.</p>
<p>The only bad news, if you can call it that, is the general expense of getting started in PPC. We know already that the entire Commission Blueprint program is about Pay Per Click (PPC) and Adwords. Getting started with PPC can be VERY expensive and keyword and conversion testing can costs into the thousands of dollars if you don&#8217;t do things right. Sometimes even if you DO do things right a campaign can be a loser and you have to chalk it up and move on. Keep this in mind if you are considering purchasing this program or getting ino PPC at any level. The $77 purchase price for Commission Blueprint is a drop in the bucket compared to the investment you will need to make just in your start up budget if you want to do things right.</p>
<p>Commission Blueprint recommends a minimum of $200 (ideally $500 or more) to test each Clickbank product and Adwords campaign. They suggest that it will take testing 4-6 products to find one that is a winner. This means that $200 x 6 tests = $1,200 just for ad testing. Of course some sales should be coming in throughout the testing period which will offset some of these costs, but it is still expensive nonetheless. That is a huge barrier for getting started with this program for a lot of people.</p>
<p>In addition, Commission Blueprint recommends several paid tools for working their program. Some of these programs cost several hundred dollars and some have ongoing monthly subscription fees. These tools are all amazing though and seem to be worth every penny. They also recommend several free tools too so not everything costs money. In their keyword research videos, they do two sepearate walkthroughs &#8211; one using paid tools and one using free tools. Both got the job done.</p>
<p>If you do have the funds available to get into PPC advertising, Commission Blueprint is hands down one of the best programs available right now. The costs is such a great deal that it amazes me that they did not charge more. From what I understand though, the price will actually be going up in the next day or so.</p>
<p>When you first sign-up, you are offered a monthly subscription to their membership program, but I did not choose to sign up for that.</p>
<p>Also, since joining yesterday, they added a private forum which is already bustling with activity and positive feedback on the program. They even sent out an email they will be adding more information to the program shortly that will be impressive. I&#8217;m not sure how much more they can improve on this program, but they seem to be doing it. Commission Blueprint is a winner in my book. I have to go finish watching video 11, 12, 13 and 14.</p>
<p>If you found my initial review helpful, please use my affiliate link below to sign up for Commission Blueprint. I will receive a small commission which will help me to do more home based business reviews and get the tools needed to do a more thourough job of that. Thanks.</p>
<p>==&gt; <a href="http://businessdreams.com/go/commissionblueprint">Buy Commission Blueprint Now</a></p>
<p>Look for a more thorough Commission Blueprint Review soon. With the holiday weekend and lots of parties to go to, I&#8217;m not sure when I&#8217;ll be able to get it done. I&#8217;d like to do a video review too but I&#8217;m not fully up to speed on that technology so we&#8217;ll see on that one.</p>
<p>Okay, over and out. Go make it a great day.</p>
