How to make money online by Seth Godin

Kamil K. — Wed, 09 May 2012 11:30:51 +0000

I have just come across this article by Seth Godin and I was struck by how accurate it is and how cleverly summarised the online money making can be. It completely resonates with my beliefs around that topic.

Enjoy:

How to make money online

The first step is to stop Googling things like, "how to make money online." Not because you shouldn't want to make money online, but because the stuff you're going to find by doing that is going to help youlose money online. Sort of liking asking a casino owner how to make money in Vegas…
Don't pay anyone for simple and proven instructions on how to achieve this goal. In particular, don't pay anyone to teach you how to write or sell manuals or ebooks about how to make money online.
Get rich slow.
Focus on the scarce resource online: attention. If you try to invent a way to take cheap attention and turn it into cash, you will fail. The attention you want isn't cheap, it's difficult to get via SEO and it rarely scales. Instead, figure out how to earn expensive attention.
In addition to attention, focus on trust. Trust is even more scarce than attention.
Don't worry so much about the 'online' part. Instead, figure out how to create value. The online part will take care of itself.
Don't quit your day job. Start evenings and weekends and figure it out with small failures.
Build a public reputation. A good one, and be sure that you deserve it, and that it will hold up to scrutiny.
Obsessively specialize. No niche is too small if it's yours.
Connect the disconnected.
Lead.
Build an online legacy that increases in value daily.
Make money offline. If you can figure out how to create value face to face, it's a lot easier to figure out how to do the same digitally. The web isn't magic, it's merely efficient.
Become the best in the world at something that people value. Easier said than done, worth more than you might think.
Hang out with people who aren't looking for shortcuts. Learn from them.
Fail. Fail often and fail cheaply. This is the very best gift the web has given to people who want to bootstrap their way into a new business.
Make money in the small and then relentlessly scale.
Don't chase yesterday's online fad.
Think big, act with intention and don't get bogged down in personalities. If it's not on your agenda, why are you wasting time on it?
Learn. Ceaselessly. Learn to code, to write persuasively, to understand new technologies, to bring out the best in your team, to find underused resources and to spot patterns.
This is not a zero sum game. The more you add to your community, the bigger your piece gets.

What keeps you unhappy and how to turn it around

Kamil K. — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:59:46 +0000

Every now and then I catch myself being dissatisfied with my situation, even though I have just made a major breakthrough or achieved really great goal that I did not even expect. In those moments I remind myself that the way I feel is directly correlated to my background conversations with myself. They are in the background, so they are not "visible", therefore easy to miss. The first thing I look into is what I am telling myself that is definitely not true, but it seems it is. And it usually is one of those:

Why do I need to do it? (referring to whatever project I'm working on right now)
Again that boring work!
I should be doing something else.
There are some more exciting things to do.
I could be lying in bed now!

And it goes and goes, until it becomes boring. Once I identify those conversations, I start feeling much better, and I start telling the truth to myself to put me in touch with reality:

No one is forcing me to do anything.
I'm going to that office, because I have chosen to, even though I don't feel like going there now.
When I train martial arts, I experience similar mental challanges, but I keep going and I get great results in the end.
I don't know for sure that if I were doing something else I would be more sattisfied right now, and even if I did, it would not last for long.
The way I feel can be changed right now if I really want to.

Once I get hold of the truth, I choose to experience joy and happiness, which can be done any time, right here and now. Watch my videos on experiencing joy to learn how to do it.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Now that I'm happy and joyous, I start creating conversations that will inspire me right here and right now, e.g.:

I can be happy right now without any conditions, circumstances etc, so I choose to be happy no matter what.
Now that I'm happy and fulfilled, I can just be with whatever there is, because life is always like that. It just is, and we can choose to be happy with what is.
Today I create the possibility of being loving, inspiring and vital, in all circumstances.

Etc.

It's really east and the power is yours. Just keep practising until it becomes a habit.

If the above does not work, I check my integrity, but I'll tell you about that another time

Cheers

Kamil

A pill that profoundly speeds up the manifestation of all your dreams

Kamil K. — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 17:38:59 +0000

Kamil, if you could take a daily pill that would profoundly speed-up the manifestation of all your dreams, would you take it without fail?

I thought so.

What if it was a big, ugly pill that took 5 minutes to dissolve on your tongue, and it tasted like medicine. Would you still do it?

Yes, all of your dreams…

Thought so.

But what if during those 5 minutes each day you couldn't watch TV, or talk with friends, or distract yourself in any way from your chore?

Wow, you must really want a fabulous mansion, Maserati Granturismo, business you love, and all those other awesome life changes!

OK, what if you could skip the pill bit entirely, but instead you had to set aside 5 minutes a day to visualize, in a dark and quiet room, seeing your life unfold as if all your dreams were coming true, and for good measure you had to say or do something, each day, that implied the same?

No, you can't go back to the pill idea.

Yours,
The Universe

It works for me, Kamil.

Dwelling on the unimportant, stressing on the unintended, and freaking over the unknown

Kamil K. — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 12:23:55 +0000

Dwelling on the unimportant, stressing on the unintended, and freaking over the unknown, Kamil, simply doesn't work… and are a bit like lighting a match in a dark room to make sure no one accidentally sprinkled any gunpowder on your bicycle, kept under the stairs, near the back porch, in January.

Actually, some of that wasn't really important, but hopefully it distracted from any stigma you may have attached to freaking over the unknown.

You're so adorable,
The Universe

Why not just celebrate that you're alive, Kamil, every single day? After celebrating that you don't need a bike to get email, in January.

How to fall asleep every time

Kamil K. — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:02:26 +0000

Somehow I came across a great method of falling asleep. I have modified it a bit and I cracked it! I made a video about that and it is working for thousands of people.

The problem is that the mind drifts away and starts thinking about millions of things, looks for problems to solve and becomes fully engaged in finding a solution to those problems. The trick is to give your mind a task that's fairly easy to do, but challenging enough to keep it engaged. Then you add a bit of self hypnosis and you have a solution that works most of the time. If you are restless, you might want to do some Tai Chi standing meditation, drink some alcohol, do some exercises or anything that will bring your body into equilibrium.

Watch the video and see what methods of engaging the mind I suggest:

Simple WordPress backup and cloning solution – finally a great plugin

Kamil K. — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:49:30 +0000

Hi,

It's the first one I tested that makes a complete backup with just one click and places it within a directory that's available via a public link, so you can donwload it or deploy on another site using the same software.

system…

4. No FTP required, just know how to click

I'm a technical person and like to play around, but with websites cloning I just can't get why some people make is so complicated. I love this one. I'll keep you posted on my experiences with it.

Or would they begin thinking things they’ve never thought before?

Kamil K. — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 10:33:47 +0000

Do you think, Kamil, that if someone finally realized that their thoughts became the things and events of their life; began believing that they were truly unlimited; and started to grasp that divine intervention could be freely summoned by anyone to help make their dreams come true, they'd continue doing the same old things, living the same old life, and waiting for the same old miracles?

Or would they begin thinking things they've never thought before, saying things they've never said before, and doing things they've never done before?

Precisely.

The Universe

If you will, Kamil, this is the "test" all must pass. Not to prove anything to me, but to themselves.

Probably the best business opportunity of 2011

Kamil K. — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 23:32:27 +0000

Imagine making a great living from making other people's dreams come true!!!

A seasoned investor or a businessman knows all too well that for a business to be a success, it must be built on strong foundations, some of them are great business back office system and a hungry market. Well, you would be pleased to hear that UK Top Biz Guru – Ron G. Holland – used his genius Eureka creating method and not only has come up with a brilliant idea, but has also created a turn key business ready to go. So what does it have? Here's the list:

Two hungry markets joined together – genius!
Something that actually works and that you can do
No stock and no selling
Earn £100K+ in the first year
High quality marketing materials
First class training, support and mentoring available on tap
Huge commissions, overrides and residuals
Qualified leads – the company provides the lead via extensive campaigns
No restricted territories
On-line an option
Build your own team

So, what's it all about? Well, the business connects well-off discerning gentlemen with attractive ladies with the aim of creating life long relationships, therefore, when you join, you'll be working with rich people and beautiful ladies and help make people's dreams come true – what else can you ask for? Well, you can, and that is a high income. Guess what, you can easily make £100k in your first year.

So what is ‘Romantic London’ all about? Basically it is an ‘up-market’ introduction agency matching UK men with attractive Slovakian women who are looking for marriage or a long term relationship. Why Slovakian women? With the world shrinking by the day and the internet and Social networking sharing what life is like in different parts of the world, women from Eastern Europe are craving for the type of family life we enjoy in the UK. As Slovakia is part of the EU their women do not have the Visa and the immigration problems faced by those women in other eastern European countries. With an ever increasing divorce rate in the UK there are thousands of men here searching for women whose main focus in life is looking after their family rather than pursuing their careers. This may not be politically correct but it’s the truth and these simple facts allow us to provide a much sought after service for our clients.

Here you can download Ron Holland's personal invitation to the business:

Romantic_London_Invitation_letter

(right click above and choose "Download")

PS: I’ve just been handed some research that shows that the introductions market is worth no less than $700 million per annum and is still growing each year. Don’t let others benefit from this massive market, join us and start making real money.

Investing Opportunity Due Diligence Checklist – 19 questions you should ask before you invest

Kamil K. — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 21:54:25 +0000

Purpose and How to use: This checklist is designed for the questions to be researched/asked and answered as far as possible to assist in assessing an investment opportunity and balancing possible over-enthusiasm based on marketing material or tempting high returns. It does NOT require every question to be answered in the positive, as they may be valid reasons for a less than simple answer. However a non-response in itself should be considered as possibly raising a question. Rather it is to provide the fullest possible information available on order to make an informed risk assessment. Very high returns are possible in the market, which should be balanced with spreading risk across investments or profit opportunities. If sending to the opportunity then DELETE this initial paragraph and centre column first.

Organisation Name:

Completed By (CAPS):

Signed:

Position:

Date:

Questions:

What is the organisation’s full name, address [not PO Box], and telephone number and email? Please confirm whether organisation employees or members are physically present and contactable by personal visit at this address (and if not why not.)	Some contact method of real existence. Many offers miss this information. Scams often cannot give out a number that you can call as it gives away their location elsewhere. Verify a real physical base. One company had nice office pictures on their website but was not listed in the German yellow pages as residing there and reception did not know of them. Phone number was a UK only one with no German alternative.
Under which legal structure are the investment funds held? If different from above please clarify.	It should be clear exactly which entity you are contracting with and where funds are held. A recent UK fraud used an almost identical company name with no connection. Client Funds should be evidenced as ring fenced.
How long has the organisation been operational in its current from?	New organisations are higher risk or a possible re-birth of a different business closed down by regulators. Eg TIRN was reborn as PMO
Have any of the directors or traders or their company been disqualified, disbarred from professional organisations or regulatory authorities in any way? If yes please provide explanation.	Non compliance with ‘authorities’ may not be essential for those with privacy knowledge but is often a ‘red flag’.
Are company documents (if relevant) up to date? Please supply the last 3 years financial statements and audit report or explain why they are not available. Please advise how this can be verified.	Late filing may indicate poor management and lack of professionalism or issues with the underlying funds. Audit reports and accounts will show the size of the operation and other useful information.
What is the investment track record? Please supply back up.	Longer is better generally (though many funds have a 3 year track record then crash, so the last 6-12 months may more important)
Who are accountants/auditors and their contact details? Is there any information regarding their appointment, their relationship, their ownership of shares or other any benefit in kind that could be considered as affecting their impartiality? If so please detail	Recent frauds have had small firms with personal connections for many years who have thus not been properly independent or qualified.
What is the money and risk management strategy (eg maximum risk, maximum allocation per trade)? What system and software is used to record trades, manage the risk and calculate performance returns and fees?	There should be a published strategy on risk and money management to avoid blow-ups like LTCM and Amaranth for example
Please supply the CVs of the Key directors and key traders.	CV history can be checked for accuracy, references taken up.
Does the operation require have any regulatory approval or membership in any country it is operating or marketing? Can this be verified? For example in the UK is the scheme registered by the FSA or if not how is marketed in compliance with the requirements?	Several boiler room companies use similar names or even copy registered numbers eg Morgan Soloman sound like Morgan Guarantee and Salomon brothers but is a boiler room set-up. Templeton Capital Wealth Management sounds like Franklin Templeton Investment Management and was apparently falsely claiming their FSA registration number. It may be that under privacy advanced information, the authority has no jurisdiction. Regulation is a cost to a fund and private opportunities may decide not to be regulated by the ‘system’ and this is feasible under private arrangements
Please explain the basic details of the investing strategy/ies and supply 3 example trades/investments for each investment product offered showing investment instrument, broker, amount, entry, exit, % risk, risk control method.	Any investment method should be explainable and verifiable to the intelligent layman. Eg in one opportunity of “MTN Notes” –the company could not explain how they made 30% profit per day nor would they show example past trades. Audit trails can of course be falsified if there is collusion.
Which brokers are used and what is the country where they hold the trade funds? How are the investment funds allocated across different brokers?	Brokers can and do go bust (4 in the last 3 years). Funds should be spread across brokers. The country location is relevant for tax, currency and demonetisation risk.
Please supply a sample form/contract	Check the validity of the contracts. If the legalise does not make sense –ask.
Please explain any referral or commission structure and supply a copy of the agency or distributor agreement or if there is not one explain why.	Investors should be aware of the amount of any commission paid for transparency and impact on returns.
In a loss situation how does the payment of commissions impact the net repayment to the investor? Are commissions clawed back?	As above
Is there a receipt for deposited funds? How can fund performance be tracked and verified?	Ideally there is a sound internal control process, and verifiable statements eg annual audit report
What is the bank mandate for payments out from the account investors pay funds into? Ie what range of account can funds be transferred to and how many signatories are required? Are there any restrictions as to where funds can be transferred from the broker account?	Single or related party dual signatories is a risk for fraudulent diversion of funds. Controls should prevent diversion of funds at any stage.
What proof can you supply that returns/withdrawals are not paid out from existing or new investor’s capital?	Investors having successfully withdrawn funds does not prove positive returns. (qv Madoff fraud). Audited accounts and track record with bank and broker bank reconciliation should be available on request.
Do you check or inquire as to suitability in investing in terms of investor risk profile and amount of risk capital?	Acceptance of your funds without any check as to your risk profile or suitability is a red flag. While the investor’s responsibility, genuine fund managers will have an interest in the investors not taking excessive risk in their opportunity.

This web page has a redirect loop – WordPress permalink issue

Kamil K. — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 12:33:19 +0000

I have recently created a WordPress site, and suddenly it stopped loading. I don’t know which plug-in caused it as I installed a few (maybe Core Tweeks or maybe HeadSpace2).

I could:

Log in to the site and make all the changes
Load (see in the browser) all the pages except for home/front page
Load the home page when logged in

I could not:

Load the home page
Edit .htaccess file or change permissions on it (644)

I was getting the following error in Chrome:

This web page has a redirect loop

The web page at http://www.seriousbusinessopportunity.co.uk/ has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

Here are some suggestions:

Reload this web page later.
Learn more about this problem.

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redirects.

My host company support team fixed .htaccess file permissions, but that did not fix the issue. Disabling all the plugins did not help. The site, however, started working fine when I changed the permalink structure to Default. When changed to any custom settings, the home page would not load again. Quite weird, don’t you think?

The solution appeared to be very simple – I installed and activated Permalink Fix & Disable Canonical Redirects Pack plug-in and the site started working immediately. Very cool, yeah? Well, not really. The homepage started loading, but any other page was redirected to the home page. I made a few more experiments with various settings in WP and in plug-ins, but to no avail. In the end, I decided to leave the permalink structure to default. So, if you know how to fix the issue, let me know.

To our success

Kamil
