How To Plan A Fabulous Home Spa Day MRR Ebook With Audio

Scrubs, masks and peels all have a role to play in your home spa treatments. In general, scrubs are what you will use to gently exfoliate the skin and cleanse the build-up of dead cells that comes from the natural process of aging.

Exfoliating will also increase circulation, loosen surface blackheads and encourage the natural oils of the skin to come to the surface, rather than remaining locked under a layer of dead skin cells. Dirt is also removed during the process. Most people are surprised to think that there could be dirt on their face, but as you walk through the smog of the city, fine particles certainly cling to every part of both clothing and skin. In hot weather perspiration also helps it to stick there.

A good facial mask will gently cleanse the skin of both natural impurities such as dead cells and the external impurities in the atmosphere. It will make your skin feel softer, smoother and look younger. It works only on the topmost layer of skin. Care must be taken not to scrub vigorously, as that can damage the skin, which is a great deal more delicate on the face than other parts of the body. Too coarse a product will damage the skin rather than restore it.

A chemical peel is a somewhat harsher means of removing the several top layers of skin. It is intended to remove skin that may be scarred due to acne and wrinkled or lined due to aging. Not everyone needs to have a chemical peel. Only if the scrub and mask did not fix the problem should you consider a chemical peel. This treatment should only be done monthly or less and a dermatologist consulted for problem skin.

Exfoliating creams and scrubs may be purchased over the counter, but examine the list of ingredients to be sure they have enough of the right ones. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorides and bromides are the ingredients in Dead Sea salts that help to purify your skin by drawing out impurities such as oil and other debris. Bromides are especially good for healing psoriasis, while magnesium combats stress and removes acids from the skin.

Those who suffer from oily skin may apply a mud mask three to four times a week. However, an oatmeal mask is much softer and soothing to skin that is irritated, itchy or has a rash of any kind. They can be purchased over the counter, or oatmeal from a supermarket packet can be applied in paste form.

Modeling & Roles

When we were little, we learned to walk, talk, and behave in relation to others because we modeled our parents or those around us.

Our human brains are designed to imitate and mimic people’s behaviors.

How could we use this to our advantage?

For starters, you could bust limiting beliefs by modeling yourself after a successful person.

Imagine a situation where your limiting beliefs prevent you from achieving a desired outcome.

Let’s say that you have trouble doing your physics homework because you have a belief that you are not good at physics.

Visualize a person who knows how to solve physics problems with ease.

Play out the situation as vividly as possible, taking in all the details.

Step into that person’s mind. Take note of how your limiting beliefs are gone and you feel relaxed doing your physics homework.

Visualize the situation again, but this time you are the one performing the action.

Repeat the visualization again from another angle in another setting. You have to soak up the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of your model.

Step out of your model, and notice how your confidence has increased, and that you now have a new ability to handle physics homework.

You can model yourself after your own personal hero. Visualize yourself acting like your hero. Feel the determination that your hero has.

After going through this, take note of how the virtues of your hero can help you to achieve your goals.

Realize that the most successful people in this world are the most flexible people. Entrepreneurs, for instance, can perform a number of tasks that most people cannot do.

As such, for each role that you have to perform in life (student, husband, wife, father, mother, businessman, sportsman, etc), pick a role model and imagine yourself acting like him/her.

Aversion/Attraction

It is clear from our lives that we have aversion towards some objects/peoples/foods and attraction towards some objects/peoples/foods.

But the problem is that many times we have aversion and attraction for the wrong things.

Take the issue of weight loss, for instance. Most people I know have an attraction for fattening foods, while an aversion for healthy ones, or at least very little interest.

Put a salad and an apple pie right besides each other, and most people will go for the apple pie without hesitation.

So it would be great if there was a way to change our aversions and attractions.

You can do this again through the power of visualization.

Let’s say that you like a certain type of ice cream that you know is making you fat. You like it so much that if it somewhere near you, you will eat it without thinking about the consequences.

Now picture that ice cream on a table. Visualize it in complete detail, including

the smell of the ice cream.

Once you do this, transform the ice cream into something disgusting. This will depend on the person, of course.

Take note of the transition and smell both the ice cream and the thing that induces disgust within you. By the way, the more disgusting the better.

Another option is to picture yourself eating the ice cream, and then having a horrible taste in your mouth while getting a terrible stomachache.

The more you repeat these visualizations, the more successful you will be in reducing your cravings for the fattening ice cream. If you are very persistent, you may eventually find it really disgusting!

Alright, enough with disgusting things!

Let’s say that instead of disgust, we want to create attraction for a certain object or person.

A good example is a married couple. Marriage takes a toll on attraction for most people. When people are young and know very little about each other, attraction is at its peak, but as the years pass, some of that youthful ardor is lost.

A possible solution to re-kindle that youthful flame is to turn your wife/husband into something or someone intriguing and exciting.

As before, it is up to the individual to find out what is intriguing and exciting for him/her.

For example, let’s say that you find a certain Greek statue of.

Instead of ending up having an affair, which will only hurt both parties, turn your wife into that woman you find so attractive.

Visualize your wife morphing into that woman of your dreams.

This will trigger a neurochemical response of attraction towards your wife. Now, every time you see your wife, certain chemicals will be released that will make her extremely attractive to you, just like when you were young.

Of course, it is recommended that if you have trouble feeling attracted to your wife, you seek a marriage counselor to improve the communication aspect of your marriage.

To solve attraction problems towards a certain person, one needs to work on both chemistry and communication.

Visualization will at least take care of the chemical part.

Your Mental Movie Projector

Your mind is like a cinema: you have all sorts of “movies” stores inside your head.

As such, instead of being the spectator, you can be the director or editor that changes these movies in accordance with his goals.

Adding Soundtrack

Pick out a specific situation. This could either be a bad memory, a future event, or a phobia. Play the situation as if it were a movie, and take note of the emotions you feel when the movie rungs through your head.

Replay the situation again, but this time add a soundtrack that reflects the way you want to react to this situation. If you are imagining a sad moment in your life, add an upbeat soundtrack to give the scene a happy tone.

Make sure that your reaction to the situation has changed. Replay the movie with the new soundtrack as much as you can to make sure that your reaction has changed.

Rewinding

Pick an unpleasant memory or object and play it in your mental movie theater. Play the scene up until the point where you transition from being confident to being fearful. You want to hold that image in your mind of you being confident.

Now put yourself in the seat of an spectator who has seen the movie so many times that he/she feels desensitized when watching the movie. Once you do this, play the movie to the end in black and white.

How To Make 100K A Year As A Bookseller Personal Use Ebook With Audio

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: HOW TO MAKE $100,000 EACH AND EVERY YEAR OR MORE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

We have spent some time discussing how to spot the secret differences that make used books potentially valuable, even super-valuable. We've spent time discussing where to buy books. We've spent time discovering the great new marketplace called the Internet. We've learned the importance of describing books accurately to avoid returns and build a good reputation.

Now I'll illustrate exactly how to make $100,000 each and every year or more with some anecdotes and an overview of the process itself.

My brother and his wife were shopping recently in Canada. On the way back to their home in upstate New York they happened across an estate sale that was going on. They got there late in the day so a lot of the antiques and other more “obvious” items of value such as the furniture and silverware were already sold.

But, since he’s my brother and he knows a lot about used books because he had a good teacher (me) he picked up two boxes of books for $4. He took them home and gave me a call.

Let me tell you right now that what he told me is not an usual circumstance. In fact it is very common.

One of the books he picked up was a first edition of Thomas Handforth’s Mei Le valued at $125. Another was a rare architectural book valued at $50. The total value of the books he “picked up” for just 4 bucks was over $500! And it took him all of fifteen minutes.

Remember:

1. Used books are everywhere. You never know when they will come up at yard sales, church sales, library sales or auctions. So finding inventory for selling over the Internet shouldn't be a problem for you.

2. The most important thing for a beginner to understand about building an inventory is that you do not have to spend a lot of money to begin this business. All it takes is a few dollars and the right knowledge. Never spend more than a few dollars per book in the beginning.

Remember that the condition of the book, its edition and the demand for the book will determine the amount collectors will pay. Many times demand can be created for a first edition in fine condition. All that needs to be done is “get the word out” that a certain book has been found in fine condition and the market will quickly decide if the book is valuable or not. But the value will be determined, at all times, by the market.

4. With the books you have purchased locally you post them on the Internet through one of the four primary selling gateways:

-Database/Search Engines -Internet Auctions

5. This is fun. Knowing something that very few people know about and actually employing that skill on a regular basis is exciting.

Now, we have a framework for determining the exact steps needed to take in order to start making $100,000 a year. But first a few warnings:

There is a tendency for many who purchase this manual to begin buying everything in sight. Don’t do that. Begin buying slowly.

If you attend a yard sale and there are several boxes of books ask the yard sale hostess if you can rearrange the boxes -shifting the ones you want from the one’s you don’t want. This way you only take the ones that show potential. You don’t have to buy every one.

Also you don’t want to convey the appearance of being a “pro”. Act naturally, nonchalant and pleasant at all times. In other words, act like a typical yard sale attendee. Talk about the content of the books themselves, never discuss or ask the hostess if there are any “first editions” in the boxes. 9 times out of 10 they won’t know anyway.

After finding the books you want to purchase negotiate the price down. Even if they are only asking $4 for a whole box, ask them if they’ll take $3 or even $2! Hey, everybody does it and it seems more natural.

There’s nothing wrong about acting this way. You have the advantage of superior knowledge in these situations, use it, but with caution. If they did not do their due diligence and doesn’t know or care to know that they are selling a book for $1 that is worth $100 to a collector- that’s not your concern.

I'm not addressing the ethical issues raised here, I'm simply saying that as John Paul Getty said, "To get rich you need to know something that no one else does." They should have been as smart as you and purchased this manual for themselves.

I will assume for a moment that you have read the first 120 or so pages of this manual and that you are now so excited about the possibilities of profiting from buying and selling used books that you're on fire and ready to go do it!

Good! That's what I want to hear! But first, as I learned through much hard won experience in the stock market that, "Well bought is well sold". It’s good advice and applies to the used book market as well as the stock and bond market.

What it means simply is this: If you can buy a used book that you know is worth 10 to 20 times what you paid for it, at a minimum, then you have bought right. If you buy a book for $2 and can only sell it for $4, or 2 times what you paid for it- you will never make any money in this business. In fact, you won’t even be able to cover your expenses.

Of course, if your objective is simply to collect books, make a few dollars on the side and leave it at that, then that’s well and good. But, most of the people who have purchased this manual will be interested in maximizing profits from used, OP and rare books.

HYPNOSIS FOR STRESS RELATED ILLNESSES

Excessive everyday stress is a problem for many people that have overly busy lives. The stress of commuting, work, family, kids and other obligations often builds up until people either collapse or develop serious health problems like heart disease or high blood pressure.

Stress can also cause other problems to develop like anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, Fibromyalgia, and other chronic conditions. Unfortunately for most people getting rid of the causes of everyday stress isn’t really an option, so the only option left is to try and treat the stress.

Drug therapy is usually not effective for stress related conditions. The best cure for stress is relaxation, like meditation. But most people don’t or can’t take the time to meditate on a regular basis. Hypnosis therapy can be a powerful treatment for people that need relief from acute stress because it puts the body into such a relaxed state that the damages of stress begin to fade away. Unlike many conditions the effects of stress related illness on the body are reversible with relaxation therapy like hypnosis.

It’s not always necessary to go see a hypnotherapist if you want to use hypnotherapy to combat stress and stress related illnesses. Selfhypnosis can be just as effective as having sessions with a trained hypnotherapist, once you know the techniques, and you can do selfhypnosis whenever you are stressed to help yourself calm down. Selfhypnosis isn’t an option for treating all conditions that can be treated with hypnosis because in cases where you are trying to change your behavior or the way that you respond to certain stimuli it’s necessary to have a trained hypnotherapist providing the hypnotic suggestions.

But if you are primarily using hypnosis as a method of deep relaxation in order to help fight off the effects of everyday stress self-hypnosis is a much easier and cost-effective method of treatment. Think of selfhypnosis as a very intense type of meditation. You’ll get the same benefits from a self-hypnosis session as you would from a session of very deep meditation.

You can perform self-hypnosis to deal with stress anywhere, so even if you are at work or on the train and you are having a particularly high stress day you can use a self-hypnosis script that you’ve recorded and programmed onto an mp3 player or you can listen to a hypnosis cassette in order to put yourself in a deeply relaxed state.

If you start using self-hypnosis regularly in order to get rid of stress you’ll notice that the positive physical changes start almost immediately. You’ll start sleeping better and longer, your blood pressure will drop and you’ll notice that your muscles and joints don’t hurt as much.

HYPNOSIS FOR DEPRESSION

Depression is one of the hardest conditions for doctors to treat. There is clear mind/body connection when it comes to depression and without treating both the mental and physical causes of depression it’s almost impossible to relieve the symptoms of the depression. Millions of people every year are affected by depression to some degree. Some people have depression that is so deep that they can’t function in the world and drug therapy doesn’t seem to help.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the drugs that are used to treat depression and as a result many people are hesitant to take prescription drugs for depression because of the possible side effects. Two of the most often prescribed medications for depression list as suicidal thoughts and depression as a side effect. If depression is a side effect of a drug prescribed to treat depression it’s really no wonder that people are looking elsewhere for depression treatments that don’t have such serious side effects.

Hypnosis is becoming more and more widely used as a treatment for depression. Even though there is no such thing as a miracle cure hypnosis is the closest that the medical community has come to a cure for depression. Hypnosis, by eliminating the psychological aspects of depression, can wipe out depression for some patients in as little as two or three hypnotherapy sessions. Hypnotherapy for depression should be performed only by a trained therapist that a lot of experience. A therapist that isn’t well versed in treating depression using hypnotherapy might end up doing more harm than good, and self-hypnosis treatment for depression is not a good idea.

You can use self-hypnosis to help manage the symptoms of your depression. Stress and tension are hallmarks of depression, and selfhypnosis can be a good way to combat those symptoms. But in order to really eradicate the cause of the depression you will need to get help from a trained hypnotherapist who knows exactly the right type of hypnotic suggestions to plant in your subconscious during therapy to eliminate your depression.

If you or someone that you love suffers from depression and drug therapy doesn’t seem to be working, or if you’re reluctant to try drug therapy because of the possible side effects, it’s worth taking the time to find a trained hypnotherapist in your area to meet with. Clinical studies have shown over and over again that hypnotherapy is an effective treatment for depression. Since it’s safe and has no side effects you have nothing to lose by trying it.

You can ask your doctor for recommendations to find a qualified hypnotherapist in your area or you can go online and look for an alternative medical directory. You can also ask family and friends for recommendations. Just make sure that you look for a hypnotherapist with a background in psychology or medicine and just a certificate saying they can perform hypnosis.

Some medical experts do express a little concern about the use of hypnosis as a treatment for depression because of the possibility that if the hypnotherapist isn’t well trained the hypnotic suggestions that are used might end up being more damaging and actually increasing the depression.

Because of this slight risk you should only get help for depression from a hypnotherapist that has a psychological background and has training in the use of clinical hypnosis. Someone that is certified to use hypnosis to treat addictions or to help with weight loss is probably not the best type of therapist to see if you need to get help for serious depression. Hypnosis can be a very effective treatment for depression but just like any treatment it should be done by someone trained to do it the most effective way possible.

The Affiliate Managers Handbook PLR Ebook With Audio

Ebook Sample Content Preview:

Terry: That goes back again to actually purchasing the product, and finding out how it works.

Ken: Yea. I think you have to know what it's going to do. Obviously, a system like Affiliate Showcase is pretty sophisticated with a lot of viral marketing tools and a lot of stuff going on. If you take a quick look at it, it would be easy to be overwhelmed because there's so much there. But, you need to get in there and try it out. Sign up for the preversion of the site. That's a great way to go.

Terry: What kind of conversion rate do you have from the people who sign up for the pre-version and then upgrade to a more comprehensive version?

Ken: It's probably comparable to the people who get active.

Terry: I wouldn't be surprised.

Ken: That means that if somebody gets active with the Affiliate Showcase site, it's a no-brainer to upgrade because the executive level of Affiliate Showcase is really the best deal. We structure it that way intentionally. There are reasons that we want that to be the best deal, and it really it. So, if a person is active and serious about it, they'll upgrade because it's really a no-brainer to do that.

So, it's a good conversion if you actively do this, are actively working on it and if you're motivated.

Terry: So, if somebody comes online and they have a business type attitude, not a get-rich-quick type of attitude... that's the type of person who would...

Ken: Yea. It's not a get-rich-quick-scheme. There are a lot of things out there that promise you instant wealth, but it takes some work and some thinking.

Terry: If I was looking at two or three different programs, and one was a very high-priced item or product that I can sell online that I probably won't sell too many but I'll make a good commission every time I do sell one, and there's another one with a low price, that I'm going to make a lot more sales with a lower commission. Which side would you tend to go to?

Ken: Well, there are a couple things I look for in programs. Obviously, dollar volume is a factor. If something pays you $1,000 every time you sell one, it sounds like a pretty good deal. It's only a good deal, however, if you sell some. There was just a product that we started working with which is really easy that you basically send people to a free presentation, and that's all you have to do. These people run an excellent conference and have a real solid business on the back end, and they do a great job. Then, they pay you $700 for every sale.

They convert on a regular basis.

So, a program like that is great. The better programs are high dollar and convert well. Conversion is key; they have to make the sale.

They have to have a good sales letter, a product that's valuable, and that sells at a reasonable price. The other aspect that we should consider is having a recurring income. Affiliate Showcase is a recurring income. I get 25% of a $59 sale, that doesn't sound like a lot, but when you start multiplying that by a year, two years, three years, it just keeps going and can add up to some pretty big bucks if you look at a recurring income type of situation.

Terry: So, that's going to be the ultimate, if you can get a product that has a fairly decent price tag, a good conversion rate, and a recurring income.

Ken: That sounds like a great product to me.

Terry: Sounds like Affiliate Showcase. That's super. We can wrap it up today, so I don't keep you all day and you can have some time to get some work done. Pretend I'm coming online with $100, what should I do?

Ken: Boy, your options are wide open. If you have $100 and you want to make that investment into building an online revenue, I suggest that you start off with a wife that's really watching the beans.

Terry: That costs more than $100 though.

Ken: I have a wife-o-meter, when whenever I start to spend money, I think what she's going to say.

Terry: You have to get her approval.

Ken: I would look at the options and be very careful in exactly what you do. So, if you only have $100, don't go out and buy an Affiliate Showcase executive site, because in two months time, that money will be more than gone, and who knows if you'll have a return on that or not. A smarter way to do that is to sign up for the free version of Affiliate Showcase. If you can promote it and get four people to sign up, you can convert to the executive level, which will instantly up your commissions, which means that your site is paid for and you don't have to worry about that recurring income.

In the meantime, you can learn the system, you can get used to it, you can play with some of the features, you won't have all of the executive type features for customization and stuff, but you'll get a feel for the system and you'll start to earn some money. I would build off that income and reinvest into your business. In other words, just keep pouring it back in so you can build it one step at a time.

There are two ways to make money online. You can invest a lot of money, which will generate interest. If you're not totally stupid to keep throwing it away like a lot of people were in the dotcom boom, then you can make money with money. Leverage is one way to go. If you don't have lots of money to put into it, look at putting your time into it. Time or money... they work best together. So, if you could invest some time and some money, then that's your best shot.

Terry: Your winning formula.

Ken: Yup.

Terry: That's super. I'll close off the interview now, Ken.

Ken: Thank you for having me. I really appreciate it. It was a fun talk and it was great to talk to you finally person to person.

Terry: You too. Thank you very much. I'll just end the interview by saying that you've been listening to Ken McArthur and myself, Terry Telford. Thanks for your time.

Ideas and Inspirations on Membership Themes That You Can Use

There are basically two things that you need to consider when choosing the topic of a membership site; (1) your own passion about the subject and (2) the level of demand for information about the subject.

Following Your Passion

Unless you are really passionate about the topic that you choose to construct a membership website around, you are not going to be a happy camper. Passion is contagious and it is up to you to be a carrier of passion about your topic and to infect others with your passion.

But just being passionate about a topic yourself is not enough. The second part of the successful membership website formula is that there must be a large enough demand for information about the topic. The best way to determine the level of demand is to visit the blogs and forums that are dedicated to the topic that you are considering.

If you are passionate about the topic and there is a demand for information about the topic, you have the magic formula for building a successful membership website.

Many times eager entrepreneurs will see only the possibility of a nice recurring income and jump into a membership website without thinking it through completely. When you are choosing the topic for a membership website, the ideas are nearly endless but you must choose carefully.

10 Profitable Membership Ideas

Here are a few thoughts about topics that will very likely make for very successful membership websites:

1. Fashion Tips: Men as well as women are very concerned about their appearance. They want to look stylish without looking weird. They want to be ‘today’ but they don’t really want to be ‘cutting edge’. In short, they want to dress well and most people aren’t confident about choosing clothing that is flattering as well as fitting.

2. Medical Information: You can’t give medical advice as such. That would be called ‘practicing medicine without a license’ but you can report on the newest medicines and the newest procedures that are becoming available for a whole variety of human maladies. You can report on the results of studies and trials, too.

3. Employment: There are thousands and thousands of people out there who are looking for jobs. Employment ranks close to the top of everyone’s list of concerns. Job hunting tips, job hunting information, resume writing, etc. are all topics of great concern to a great many people.

4. Professionals: There are national and international organizations for many professions like doctors for example but how about a website where those who sell gardening supplies can gather and discuss the trade or a site where beauticians can gather and exchange information?

5. Relocating: We live in a mobile society. People move from state to state and from country to country in pursuit of their professions or education. Relocating is a project that is fraught with problems. People who have relocated can help those who are about to relocate!

6. Travel: There are, of course, all kinds of sites where people can book flights and reserve hotel rooms but there aren’t many sites where travelers can exchange information about their travels.

7. Starting a Business: Because of corporate downsizing and the exportation of jobs there are people out there who are almost forced to start their own businesses. They may not have ever considered starting their own small business but now that choice is becoming more viable. They want information and they want to talk to others who have ‘taken the plunge’ so to speak.

8. Elder Care: The baby boomers are reaching the age where they are caught between having teenage or college age children and elderly parents that all need their attention and their money. Some of these boomers have found creative ways of dealing with being the middle of a generation sandwich and they can share that hard earned knowledge with those that are just beginning the process.

9. Parenting: The most important job on earth that we are ever faced with is bringing a child into this world and guiding them safely to adulthood. New parents have questions and those who have been doing it for awhile have answers. Bring the two groups together and throw in some advice from grandparents while you are at it!

10. Online Gaming: There are those who are so ‘into’ online games that it seems to be the subject that demands all of their time and attention. The only thing that gamers like better than playing online games is talking about playing online games. Gamers like to exchange information about the online games that they play.

How to Quickly Start Your Own Membership Site for Under $500

It is a phenomenon! The Internet is simply packed with free websites. With a computer and an Internet connection you can access millions of websites for free and yet people very gladly PAY for access to membership only sites. The conservative estimate is that people spent 1.2 BILLION dollars on membership websites last year and that number just keeps going up and up and up.

People LOVE membership websites. There probably are as many reasons WHY people love membership websites as there are membership websites. I’m not really all that surprised at the popularity of membership websites. What does surprise me is that there not more membership websites out there on the Internet.

With that much revenue up for grabs, you’d think that there would be membership websites popping up all over the place but that just isn’t the case. It isn’t all that hard to start a membership website and it certainly isn’t expensive. You can start your own membership website for under $500. Yes! That isn’t a misprint. You can start your own membership website for under $500 and you can do it rather quickly, too!

Do your tricks with confidence and hold your audience’s attention throughout your act. Enjoy the reactions of your audiences as you surprise them with your magic!

What are the Easiest Tricks to Learn?

The easiest magic tricks are card tricks. They need limited props and can be accomplished with a minimum amount of fuss and a little bit of practice. Kids and adults alike are able to perform simple card tricks and they are easy to perform when asked for ‘on the spot’.

Some simple card tricks to start with are:

1. Who’s Lying? Have a pack of cards ready, knowing what card is on the bottom of the deck. Ask someone from the audience to select a card from the fanned-out pack. He now shows the audience the card, but not you.

While they are looking at the card, close the fan of cards and leave the pile face down on the table. Get the volunteer to cut the deck into equal piles and to place his card on the top of the pile you indicate. Now place the other pile ON TOP of the volunteer’s card. The card that was at the bottom of the pack was the one YOU MEMORIZED earlier and will now be on top of the volunteer’s chosen card. Now ask the volunteer to say “No” every time you turn over a card, even when her own card has been turned up.

You say that the cards will tell you when the volunteer is lying. You will know when the selected card is imminent because your memorized card will be the one before it. When you turn over the selected volunteer’s card and your volunteer says “No”, you yell out “Liar!”

2. Tens are Up. You will need an Assistant for this trick. Select ten cards from the pack, including one Number 10 card. Place the cards upright on a table, in the same array as the spots on the Number 10 card, (H-shape) You tell a volunteer to select a card while you aren’t looking. Your assistant will now help you figure out which card the volunteer chose. The assistant touches each card in turn saying “Is it this one?” Once your assistant has touched all ten cards you point to the one the volunteer chose. You will know which card it is by the SPOT on the Number 10 card your assistant touched. It will correspond with the volunteer’s choice as you have laid out your cards in the Number 10 array. This is one trick you can repeat over and over no one will be able to guess how you did it!

Some other easy tricks that don’t require sleight of hand or expensive props are: Mind Reading with numbers – there are plenty of these around that use number games to trick even the most astute audience member; or try the Disjointed Thumb where your thumb seems to come apart and rejoin at will; what about the Banana Buster, where you magically make a banana divide into pieces while it’s still inside its peel. These are easy tricks with simple props that take a minimum amount of practice and skill. See how you go!

The Key to Magic – Sleight of Hand

Sleight of hand (also known as legerdemain or prestidigitation) is impressive if you can master it. Magicians who perform sleight of hand tricks are well regarded in the magic world because perfecting these types of tricks takes many, many hours of practice. Not all magicians are diligent and patient enough to use sleight of hand in their magic show.

This branch of magic relies on the hand skill of the magician, not magic tricks bought from the magic store. The magician uses cards or coins and manipulates them in such a way that the audience believes ‘true magic’ has occurred. The swiftness of the hand tricks the observers in such a way that the eye is fooled.

Magicians using sleight of hand techniques are usually performing close-up magic where the audience is very close and can seemingly watch their every move. If the ‘sleight of hand’ is performed well, the magician makes the move look completely natural and the audience is bewildered by what has happened.

If you want to perfect this magical technique you will need to work on your hand dexterity and your ability to ‘misdirect’ your audience. Your movements will be choreographed in such a way that your spectators will look where you want them to – away from the ‘sleight’.

Sleight of hand tricks fall into the categories of false shuffles, switching, changing, false dealing, passes and double lifts. When you begin to practice your sleight of hand moves, be prepared to fail. Your hands won’t move as you want them to and your cards or coins won’t behave as in the instruction booklet. It takes plenty of patience and practice to become accomplished at this type of magic trick.

Set aside ten minutes every day when your hands aren’t tired and your concentration is good. Follow the instructions exactly, making sure your hands or fingers are holding the cards in exactly the right place. Do the trick slowly, over and over, until it feels right. Once you can do it without looking at the instructions, you are making progress. Don’t stop there. Keep practicing as your moves will become smoother and the ‘trick’ less obvious. You need your sleight to be automatic, without you watching your hands. Your confidence will build with each practice session and then you can show the trick to family and friends. See if you can fool them.

There’s one thing that I would recommend with this. You can be like me and halfheartedly approach this and make a little bit of money. It’s certainly an additional revenue stream for me. Or you can be like Jeff who goes full on with this and make a significant amount of money with your list.

I think that if you really want to do that and you’re not sure how, take some of the action items that Jeff talked about and see how to implement those.

Who are the people that you subscribe to that you buy from? Why do you buy from them? What’s your feeling or your takeaway from those e-mails that they’re sending you?

I highly recommend mirroring what those folks do. I know Jeff kind of pokes fun of things in his e-mails. I know he talked about revealing some of our New Orleans secrets which I’m going to have to hope that Jeff keeps between us!

If you like what Jeff does; how he talks to his subscribers and the things that he lets you in on; how he explores the affiliate programs that he’s promoting so that you get a bird’s eye view of them, then pattern what you’re doing after what Jeff does.

Or if you like Frank Kern, he’s a good example. A lot of people like the way he does e-mail marketing. It’s okay for you to kind of mirror what those folks are doing.

Jeff: Definitely. I totally agree. Why don’t you go on to Number 2? I’ll let you take the first crack at Number 2.

John: The second item here would be Creating a Replicable Sales Process. I think that for some folks who have a lot of experience, they’re very familiar with sales processes and are probably able to delve into a pretty deep sales process pretty quickly.

However, for those who are just getting started or maybe haven’t had a lot of success online yet, I think that a lot of folks – especially if they’re buying a lot of Internet marketing products – look at a sales process as a front-end product and maybe an OTO.

The reality is that you can do so much more with your sales process and you can do it in a way that’s less effort for you. You’re going to pick up money that you’re definitely leaving on the table, and in a way that’s almost like copy-and-paste for you.

Terry: Right. Something that you mentioned briefly a couple of minutes ago is the seven to ten steps of neuro-linguistic programming. Can you just go over NLP?

Richard: I’ll just briefly tell you the steps. Within NLP, there is something called well-formed outcomes. With NLP, they say you have to use language carefully because of the whole idea that the subconscious and the conscious will read what you say on two different levels. A classic example that you hear is you finish a sales call and you say, “Bye now.” Is it bye or buy? The subconscious will take that in and it might be taken as buy and you might think that you want to actually buy it now. Words have different meanings and can have meanings on two different levels.

This is something that we explore about how you communicate with different people. One of the elements that I look at is NLP and the sales letter process and how you can use words effectively to get your message across. If you take a sales letter apart, a lot of them just tell you about the products. The ones that make you buy are the ones that are well crafted. That’s one of the things.

With the idea of well-formed outcomes, the first thing is that you want to state what you want in the positive. You want to say, “I want to be earning X amount,” and not saying, “I don’t want to be having to go to work everyday.” That last one is not a great goal. If something is stated in the negative, it’s not good. State it in the positive.

You want to make sure that the outcome is in your control as much as possible. Obviously, as an Internet marketer, you’re going to have to outsource. If you’re saying that you want to put your money in a high yield investment program, that’s completely out of your control and you are not in control of that particular goal. A lot of people are getting burnt with someone of these money making systems because they’re not in control.

You also want to be as specific as possible. “I want to make X amount. I’m going to make it this way. I’m going to do it by this date.” A couple of exercises I do that are good for face-to-face or for phone coaching is that you want to use sensory-based evidence. What is it going to look like and feel like when you achieve this goal? I want to imagine flying in my helicopter. It would be the most wonderful feeling to know that I went out for the day and come home to money that I made while I was out. That gets an emotion going where you can feel what it’s going to be like when you achieve that goal.

Another thing that’s important is that you want to make sure you have the skills that you need to achieve the goal, and if you don’t, how are you going to get them? Do you need to go off and buy some eBooks, do you need to buy scripts to run your membership site? You want to plan that out. Another thing is that it has to be ecologically sound, which means, is it going to affect other areas of your life?

Terry: You would also look at doing that… affiliate marketing offline products as well?

Rosalind: Well, not selling products offline, you’re selling them through online retailers. But, the way to get people away from going to the store down the street and getting them to buy online is by price point, because that’s usually the differentiation. You can suggest that they go and test the product out at a local store, but tell them, “When you buy, buy it through this link because we found that it’s typically 20% cheaper to buy it through this link than at your local store.

Terry: Okay, so if you were doing it in that respect, you wouldn’t be doing a review site? You’d be doing more of a price comparison site?

Rosalind: Well, you’re still reviewing because you’re still going to talk about all of the benefits and features of that particular treadmill. You can also lead into, “If you like this one but the price is too high, then we recommend this other model that is less expensive. It doesn’t have these features, but if you can live without them, then this would be a really good alternative.”

Terry: Okay. So, basically the affiliate marketing formula is really to set up a review site for whatever it is that you’re marketing.

Rosalind: That’s the model that I use and have found works really well, and I know so many other super affiliates that use that model successfully as well. I like it too; you’re connecting with people.

Terry: Excellent. Now, if we just take a step back to the big picture again, now you looked under palmistry, thinks that it might be a good market, should we be concerned if the market is expanding or shrinking or should we just look at it and say, “It looks good now, let’s just go for it.”

Rosalind: Well, that’s a really good question, Terry. You’re probably not going to be selling Y2K antidotes later. I like perennial products; I call it the seven deadly sins. If you can appeal to people’s greed, lust, and all of the rest… lust would be personals where people connect. The other end of that section is the adult site, and there’s money to be made there too but the competition is huge and it doesn’t work for everybody. I like big markets and I like perennial markets.
