TURN $6.00 INTO $6,000!!!
IT'S SIMPLE AND IT'S LEGAL!!!!!!!

THIS IS NOT A FLIM-FLAM OR ANY GET RITCH QUICK DEALS. THIS IS AN
ADVERTIISEMENT FOR A LEDITIMATE BUSNESS.

I was messing with my new outlook express a while back. I had
accidentally added a newsgroup a few days and I was exploring it. It
was something I was interested in so naturally I started browsing I
hit the wrong button and it started downloading from the beginning.
Fortunately I stopped it but I had already downloaded fifty from 2001.
I was about to delete them when the same headline caught my eye "TURN
$6.00 INTO $6,000!!! IT'S SIMPLE AND IT'S LEGAL!!!!!!!" Instantly I
had a flashback to a snail letter I received a few years ago saying
the same thing. I did the research and found that it was indeed VERY
LEGAL! But I couldn't even afford to send off for the rest of the
steps. It told me send for 200 names at so and so, run off 200 copies
and buy 200 stamps then send them off. So, it sat on my computer,
having already sent the six bucks off I couldn't send off for the
stickers much less get 200 stamps. $64 dollars is a lot for my limited
income. Fast forward to Dec of 2002. I saw the same thing and this
time it would ONLY cost $6.00 + postage because it was on the internet
No stamps or mailing stickers needed. INSTEAD it told me to copy the
whole document, send the $6.00 off and post it in 200 BBS. There are
thousands of them so a person won't run out of them. Being a skeptical
person I just posted it in a few BBS. About ten, really. I kept an eye
on them. Some people laughed at it, some BBS owners deleted them. One
even threatened the six who are only trying to earn an honest buck and
help others do the same. But a few posted replies saying that they
would try it out. I sat tight, trying to keep ten going. I checked my
PO box (I live in a bad neighborhood that likes to steal mail so I got
that to protect my bill mail.) Low and behold I saw two letters
addressed to me. Not just to the previous mailbox owner. Right then
and there I ripped them open to find a wrinkled dollar bill and a new
one. I chuckled weakly, expecting only those two. After all, I've
always had the worst of luck no plan of mine has EVER worked. I check
it again the next day. One more dollar came in. By the end of the week
I had $10.00. Well, being the poor woman I am I immediately sent off
the six dollars and decided that was it. One week later I received a
phone call from the post office.
"Please pick up your mail."
"What?" I asked, startled at such an odd request.
"Yes, your little box is stuffed with letters, having a wedding are
we?" His voice took on a polite teasing tone.
"Um-mm no, I'll be right there."
When I got there I had ninety-eight count them 98 letters with a
dollar bill in them. There was two utility bills making a total of 100
envelopes but that settled it. If ten did that then what about 200
like the letter asked? So here I am, posting the other 190, I know a
good legal thing when I see it. Hey, if it's working for me then I'm
sure it will work for you. Soon I'll be dept free at last.

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly why it works. Also
make sure that you print a copy of this article NOW so you can get the
information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow
the directions EXACTLY, that you will start making more money than you
possibly thought just by doing something so easy!!

SUGGESTION: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CAREFULLY (Print it out or
download it) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!
It's easy. It's legal. And your investment is only $6.00 (plus
postage)

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip off; it is NOT indecent; it is NOT
ILLEGAL; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!!! If all of
the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: follow these directions exactly
and !~~$50,000~~! or more can be yours in ~~20 to 60 days.~~ This
program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
participants. Please continue its success by Carefully Following to
the instructions. (Story by A. L. Michaels.)

You will now become a part of the mail order business. In this
business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a SERVICE. You
are in the business of developing a mailing list. Many large
corporations are happy to pay BIG BUCKS for quality list. However, the
money made from the mailing list is secondary to the income, which is
made from people like you and me asking to be included to that list.

Here are the Five steps to success:

STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."

STEP 2: Now get 6 us 1 dollar bills and place ONE inside EACH of the
six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope
to prevent thievery.

STEP 3: Next place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them.
MAKE SURE THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES. You should now
have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above
phrase your name and address and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is
creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a
legitimate service and you are PAYING for it! Like most of us, I was a
little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it
all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161)
and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!!!


STEP 4: Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses

#1) Daniela
PO Box 422
Fort Walton Beach, Florida 32549

#2) ) Panagiotis Plevrakis
5454 Cherlane Dr.
Dallas, TX 75206

#3 Camila Kwong
2151 Lapiniere
C.P. 44013
Brossard Quebec

#4) Cyntoria Thomas-
3605 Hickory Nut St.
Jacksonville, Florida 32208
J4W 3K2
CANADA

#5) A. L. Michaels
P.O. Box 1235
Jacksonville, NC 28540

#6) T. S. Scherf
PSC 557 Box 2146
FPO, AP 96379

STEP 5: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR name as
number 6 on the list.

STEP 6: Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as
original as possible. Now post your amended article to at least 200
news groups. (I think there are 30,000 groups) All you need is 200,
but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!**

EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO THIS BUT REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH
STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES!!!!**

This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to title 18
sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these
steps for yourself and whenever you need money, you can use it again
and again.

PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants and by carefully adhering to
the directions. Look at it this way, if you are of integrity, the
program will continue and the money that so many others have received
will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and
address sent to you, either on a computer or a hard copy and keep the
notes people sent you. This verifies that you are truly providing a
service. (Remember to wrap the $1 bill in the note to prevent mail
theft.) So as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully
followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a
list developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
with each person who decides to do it so that when your name reaches
the #1 spot you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!!!!
What an opportunity for only $6.00($1 for each of the six people
listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in
business!

---DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS---

STEP 1: You do not need to retype this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select "copy"
from the edit menu. (Or you could chose "select all" then "copy" as
well. Remember to right click on the highlighed text) This will copy
the entire letter into the computer's memory.

STEP 2: Open a blank notepad file or word pad and place your cursor at
the top of the blank page. From the edit menu select "paste." This
will paste the copy of the letter into notepad so you can add your
name to the list. You may want to make 2 or more copies of this file.

STEP 3: Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to
go back to.

STEP 4: Use Netscape and Internet Explorer and try searching for
various news groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.)

STEP 5: Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting "paste"
from the edit menu of your browser. Fill in the subject, this will be
the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of
postings in a particular group. Click the post message button. You're
done with the first one! Congratulations. THAT'S IT! All you have to
do now is jump to different news groups and post away, after you get
the hang of it, it will take 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN (MESSAGE BOARDS ETC) THE
MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200.

That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within
days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you
can invent a name to use as long as the postman will deliver it.

**JUST MAKE SURE THE ADDRESS IS CORRECT**

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

Rebuilding my business with SBI

By: John from ayearfromnow.com » Date of Post: 2011-12-07 14:11:17-05

Joined: 2004-08-24 17:28:27-04 » Location: Murphy, NC 28906, USA

Several important currents are coming together to make 2012 a much more productive year for me. Sitesell is going to play a very big part.

1. I am recovering from a very serious illness and I finally feel like working on my sites again. It has been a difficult period (almost three years), but I'm ready to go.

2. I have closed over 50 websites that I built over the last decade (non-SBI). I tested many different ways of building websites and blogs, and some of them were successful, but all of them had problems. Problems that I've never experienced on either of my SBI sites.

Why did I build so many websites? I am a firm believer in testing to see how well something works. I don't believe what people say, until I test it for myself. I've reached my conclusions based on my own experience, not from someone's claims.

3. The release of BB2 is coming at just the right time. I'm going to rebuild both of my sites and I'm going to take the time to do it the right way.

4. My income from affiliate marketing took a nose-dive in 2009. It has not recovered, yet.

The sites I built were very successful until the North Carolina legislature passed the nexus tax law in 2009 and Amazon.com cancelled my affiliation, and all the other affiliates in the state. Several other large merchants also dropped me at the same time. I had been an Amazon.com affiliate for 13 years and all of my sites were heavily monetized through their affiliate program. *poof* *gone*

This happened just as I was getting so sick that I had a very difficult time thinking straight and trying to make the necessary changes.

Do I feel bitter about this and resent Amazon.com? I did, at first. Now, I recognize that our state legislature made a decision, Amazon.com responded to that decision, and I (and many others) took the hit. That's business. There are always ups and downs and obstacles in our path to success.

5. After over 15 years of building websites and earning a living with my marketing business, I'm turning my attention from all the other ways I know of building websites and blogs and focusing on SBI.

My first SBI site, started in early 2004, was something I built because it was a subject that is important to me, not because I thought it was something that would make a lot of money. I liked how SBI made it easy to build and manage the site and how it did so much for me behind the scenes.

I was heavily focused on other ways of building money-making sites, at the time. I've built social communities, forums, websites, blogs, and even an article directory. I wanted to know, from the inside, how these various sites worked and performed -- and I wanted to discover their benefits and problems.

I was a 5P affiliate before there was an SBI. So, I had the chance to watch as SBI grew and expanded. It continued to improve and offer more features, year after year. And, the price has not increased, even though the product is many times better than it was all those years ago.

I've also observed, for about 13 or 14 years, the high levels of intelligence, honesty, ethics, integrity, innovation, and good-judgement that are possessed by the people who make up the Sitesell team. I've observed how the company has adapted to a changing world, not by following every fad, but by evaluating each new innovation from a business standpoint and then deciding whether or not it would have a long-term beneficial or detrimental effect on all of Sitesell's subscribers.

I'll be re-reading the Action Guide and re-watching the videos as I work though my site redesigns and expansion, next year. It's going to take a lot of work and a lot of time. It feels almost overwhelming when I look at the big picture, but I'll take the tortoise path. One keyword, one page, one topic at a time -- over a period of months and years. Each individual task is relatively simple.

I am more of a technogeek propellerhead than I am a businessman. I've been self-employed as a computer consultant, analyst, programmer, and SysAdmin since the late 1970s. Over the last ten years, I mostly built websites for the fun of it. I did it for the achievement of overcoming the technical hurdles and creating sites that worked as I wanted. In most cases, the goal was not to earn more money, it was to revel in the joy of learning and doing. As long as I had enough money to cover living expenses and a few luxuries, money was not all that important to me. Money is nice to have, but I valued the experiences more.

6. I am moving from being wide and shallow to being narrow and deep.

For a decade or so, I was wide and shallow -- lots of websites with not too much depth to any of them, except for a couple. I spent a lot of time on various forums and commenting on other people's blogs. Although I enjoyed those activities, and they gave me something to do when I wasn't able to focus on work, I was not building a business in the process.

It is important not to confuse busy-ness with business.

I actually believed the nonsense about having 100 sites producing $1 a day being a good way to earn $100 per day. Now, I know that this is ridiculous. That's a whole lot of work to earn very little money. Now, I know that it's much, much better to focus on a few sites and build them so that they attract thousands of readers. Better sites earn more money. It's really that simple.

7. Success is a process.

Of course, as all SBIers know, it takes a lot of thought and work to build an income-producing, niche-focused, original-content website. The Action Guide is a tremendous help, but important parts of building a successful online business can only be learned by doing what you think is best, and then adapting and improving the things that don't work as well as expected.

8. I'm going to quit focusing on what SBI doesn't do, and focus more on all that it offers.

This time, I'm going to stop fighting the few things I didn't like about SBI (the main one being no integrated blog module with commenting) and start fully using all the tools that ARE available.

It turns out that blogging is fun for me (busyness), but doesn't produce any real income (business), so the lack of an integrated blog or forum module in SBI no longer bothers me. I've learned, after a decade of blogging, that I don't make my money on my blogs or forums. I enjoy writing them, and sometimes enjoy the conversations in the comments, but the money is made on my websites, and that's what I am going to focus upon next year.

I've also quit focusing on wanting comments and conversations on my website pages. That's been a sticking point for me for a long time. When I started focusing on the lack of this feature, I really believed that all the commenting and discussions I was having on multiple blogs (my own and others) was helping my business. Earlier this year, I stopped most of that, and neither my income nor the number of visitors to my sites dropped. It has already freed up hundreds of hours of time, in less than a year.

Once again, I was confusing busyness with business. They are not the same.

9. It has taken me a long time, but I have finally proven to myself that SBI is the best choice for me. Not just another choice in my bag of tricks and tools -- the best choice. I feel comfortable in stating that I've tried most of the alternatives and they are all lacking.

If you hear that SBI is only for beginners who don't know how to do the technical stuff, part of that is true. It is perfect for beginners, but it is also perfect for us old propellerheads who have been slinging computer code for decades and building websites for almost as long as there have been websites.

Ken Evoy has been a great mentor and I have learned a great deal from him. I haven't implemented all that I learned as well as I could have, and I'm going to remedy at least some of that. He has also been a great inspiration. I admire his dedication, work ethic, intelligence, and ability to cut through the fog and keep things real. I look forward to learning more from him and putting that knowledge to work.

10. SBI is a bargain.

Some of us have proven to ourselves that SBI offers a better way of building the kinds of sites we want to develop. Many of you have done much better with this than I have, but I intend to do better next year.

I won't waste thousands of (more) hours on trying to prove to myself that SBI is the real deal. I've already done that.

Sitesell is the real deal. You have to look at the big picture. Sitesell is much more than a webhosting company.

SBI is not a magical Internet money machine on steroids.

SBI is an online business success toolkit, complete with detailed instructions that you can adapt to the niche of your choice. It comes complete with a set of tools that are unmatched in one service -- anywhere. (Remember that there were no challengers in the recent $50,000 Sitesell challenge!)

Only for beginners? Not true.

Too expensive. Not true.

I still spend several hundred dollars every month for webhosting, email mailing services, domain names, and other expenses related to my online marketing business. Only $60 of that is for my two SBI sites. By comparison, they are a bargain. (In fact, the cost of my two SBI sites is less than what I was paying for domain names every year, before I closed so many of my websites and blogs.)

I have a dream and I'll act on achieving it in 2012 and beyond.

Act on your dream!
