This Idea Went Stale

Yesterday when I took the breakfast photo, I thought I had a great idea about my favorite chocolate biscuit (bottom left in the photo below, and a new packet is shown here). However, as the rest of the day went on, the idea didn't float - can't tell you why... it just didn't work.

So I killed this halfbaked idea, but decided to leave the last post in to remind you that while sometimes things don't work, you have to carry on regardless.

So I guess the point of the matter I was trying to make was - even though you didn't win lotto last week, did you still buy a ticket for tonight's game?

As a reward for reading today's mindless drivel, take a look at this blog: http://gekkospeaks.com/. You're looking at really the most unusual, hard-hitting material I've seen for a while. Unique and original.

And if you're an affiliate of my Silver Lotto System, join his newsletter mailing list and download Part 1 and Part 2 of his small ebook. It describes in detail exactly how you can start to make a fortune on the internet. It's good.

How To Get Out Of That Hole

Do you get depressed about the economy? There are few countries who are not having some sort of problem at the moment with housing or jobs.

Maybe you are in that position. Is retirement is coming up and you haven't got as much as you need to live comfortably?

Maybe you just need some spare cash.

There are two ways around it.

1. Keep buying lotto tickets. And buy them early in the week so that you have plenty of time to think about how you will spend the money. It's not unrealistic to use forward expectation as a way of getting through the day. You'll be amazed at how positive you feel whenever you think about the rewards... how a win could solve all your daily problems. It's an easy way to stay positive about life.

2. Start a home-based, part-time business. But never give up your day job. Ideally you should start and build up a lowcost business until it matches or exceeds the money you receive from your job. Then you can go full-time - but not before.

What kind of business? The world is a big place, and it's tempting to think that there are millions of opportunities out there. But there are not. In fact, I believe there's only two or three opportunities that are low-risk enough for you:

A. Multi Level Marketing. Some people think of Amway when they hear about multi-level or network marketing. But there are countless other opportunities in all different areas that doesn't involve this company. Just Google the term "mlm" and see what comes up. The advantage of MLM is that very little investment is needed... often only $20 or $30 to start. There is no product to buy, and all the accounting is done for you by the company you get involved with. In a kind of way, being an affiliate is like MLM because it has the same advantages.

B. Affiliate Marketing. Read my last post and you'll see how easy and risk-free it is. The Silver Lotto System is the best product to sell because there is no product to buy and the potential from billions of Lotto players is enormous. The one advantage that really makes it head and shoulders above most other affiliate products is the low refund rate... usually below 2%. That indicates a horde of satisfied buyers - which is all you need for a good product and income potential.

C. The Internet. There are countless opportunities to make a good living with tiny overheads (business costs). If you've ever sold something on eBay, you'll know what I'm talking about.

One of the biggest advantage in having a home-based profitable business is the tax advantage. In many cases you can claim a portion of costs from your telephone, rent, utilities, computer, upgrading... in fact, anything to do with running a business.

You'll notice I haven't given you many options to make a start. That's because they're too numerous.

In a following post I'll outline how you should go about finding the ideal business for you, but here's some advance information: start with the Lotto Affiliate Selling System
- you really can't go wrong.

This Tip Will Enrich You!

Rich Jerk has put out another book which I bought a few weeks ago. As I was looking through it a couple of days ago I found a tip that I thought would be very useful.

To make a long story short, that tip gave me a 14% increase in traffic. And if you think 14% isn't much, you need to know I get many, many thousands of visitors and hits each month to my web site.

So 14% increase is pretty good for just a few minutes work.

If you've bought my unique Silver Lotto System (http://www.silverlotto.com), you're automatically entitled to become an affiliate. This means you can resell my manual, and each sale gives you nearly $20 in your pocket. But you'll need good quality information to get started.

That's why I think this book should be on your virtual bookshelf. You can use it for other affiliate products as well... not only mine.

Being an affiliate can be very profitable if you do it right. In this book, Rich Jerk tells us what are already know... you don't need to build or maintain a web site... there's no product to build... you won't need to ship orders... there's no customer contact... or any inventory.

It's really one of the best businesses on the planet. And this book is essential reading to fast track your earnings with good quality information.

By the way, the book's author says he isn't the Rich Jerk - but I have a suspicion he is!

How My "X" Unearthed A Treasure Trove

I want to tell you about my recent financial success. I'm constantly amazed by the usefulness of this tool for making money:

I increased my sales by 2x last week, simply by finding the right kind of information on my own www.kensx.com website. Yes, I eat my own dogfood! (This phrase was popular a few years back. It referred to dogfood executives having enough blind faith in their own products to test them by taste. Urk!)

Let me tell you how I did it:

I wanted to increase sales for one of my products. (Who doesn't!)

Sales are almost directly linked to website traffic. So I went to www.kensx.com and simply typed in "traffic."

Then I bought the ebook at #1 position. You see, my clever searchbox automatically sorts all the ebooks by popularity. Generally the most popular ebook or product is there for 2 reasons:

1. It sells well.
2. It has few refunds.

Therefore, by default, it's usually very good. Sure, you could get one that stinks but still has managed to haul itself to top position, but generally that's very rare.

So I read the book, and in 20 minutes came across a brilliant idea. Using it, I sent out a newsletter - that doubled my sales over the next 4 days. I could have equally used any of the other methods in this manual, but I chose just one. It paid off, and I made my money back from buying the ebook and several hundred dollars besides.

Even if you need information on any topic, you'll find it at my searchbox: www.kensx.com. And it could be VERY profitable for you!

(By the way, did you know why I called it "Ken's X?" Because X marks the spot - a treasure trove discovered).

Making Money Without Lotto

I think everyone should have their own business. If your enterprise sustains you... that is - gives you all the personal satisfaction and money you ever need - then that's got be the best reward in life.

Because if you do it right, you get the biggest byproduct of all - true personal freedom. It's blissful when you achieve this. Lotto will do the same with less effort.

But there's one fly in the ointment however...

While some hobby businesses may satisfy you, not many real businesses make money.

It's true. Here's an insight:

My wife and I had a friend over for tea last night - a fellow lotto winner using my Silver Lotto System too, by the way - and as we were munching a delicious gourmet pizza, he made a statement that had me nodding my head vigorously.

He said the words that I had known for years... that the 10% of businesses which are successful, are only profitable because they have long term contracts with large corporations.

This gives them the continuity of profit (if they're frugal) to pay staff, overheads like rent and utilities, pay their suppliers and various hangers-on like public relations people and so on.

Now, I've been through the mill - having had both successful business and not so, and I agree with him 100%.

So how do you uncover such a successful business opportunity that doesn't rely on these hard-to-get contracts?

I'll reveal how now, but prepare to be surprised. Because the 'right' business is not always the best one.

What's the difference? Here's an example:

For decades I've known about the vast profits from real estate. Each year - usually round about the same season (isn't life's timetable predictable!) - I get the urge to invest. Yet something stops me. It's not the fear of commitment, I have no problem with that. Nor the fear of large sums of borrowings... in an earlier post here I talk about how I overcame that years ago.

It's passion. The lack of.

Now, many people will tell you that passion doesn't make a business successful... that anyone can apply a proven formula in much the same way that franchises do today, and succeed anyhow.

I'm not sure that that's entirely true.

Because when the going gets tough... and inevitably it will... you will need large dobs of passion and interest to move you out of the tough times.

Years ago I remember reading about one of our country's largest property moguls, where in the interview he pointed to one of his waterfront office buildings and said: "Look at that, isn't it a wonderful looking building? This is what property is all about." He was passionate about a plain-looking lump of concrete and steel, and it showed. He is also very successful, because he sold the building for $26 million, then bought it back this year, a decade later, for $12 million (figures from memory). It's now valued at the higher rate. That's it in the photo above, taken when I popped out late this afternoon for a drive.

I won't get rich in property. After 10 minutes of looking through the newspaper property pages I get very depressed. Then thinking about all the legal paperwork makes me even more depressed. There's no way that I will get into property in a big way.

But sit me down in front of the computer and ask me to write creatively about my Silver Lotto System, marketing and success, and my pen flows over the page for hours without stop. Each morning I wake up full of expectation and I can't wait to get down to my computers to start the day.

My passion means that a low sales day fires me up. Instead of getting depressed, I look at the low figures as a challenge and do something to change that.

So your first requirement for any business is not to find one that makes you a huge amount of money, but to find one that excites you.

In my next post I'm going to tell you what I think the secret to the hugely successful business is. And the good thing is this - the most successful business won't cost you a cent to set up. The entry fee is so low that you'll never fail! And you have everything you need right in front of you, right now.

Watch out for it.

I'm A Millionaire. Now What?

I've been a millionaire* for some time now.

To tell the truth, I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened. One day a while back I just did some adding up of some assets, and bingo!... there was the result - a whole lot of zeros on the calculator.

The result was pretty exciting. I was on cloud nine for a day or so because I had been concentrating on this goal for many years.

But once the euphoria wore off, I was back to thinking and planning again. This time I made a goal for $20 million - and to achieve it in a shorter time!

Why, you ask? "Ken, surely you've got everything you need in this world with that vast sum of money?"

The object was never the money. Money was simply the way of measuring a goal.

Each of us needs a goal in our lives, and when that is met then we should make another one to stretch our boundaries - to keep growing mentally and emotionally. And you should always do some good along the way. I also want to donate to a local boxing gym who help disadvantaged kids, and I will very soon.

Why am I writing about this to you?

It's not to boast, but actually I do hope that my circumstances might motivate you.

You can achieve what I've done.

I'm telling you to get off your chair, get some fire in your eyes, and claim the riches you deserve by winning lotto or starting your own wealth-making business. Are you worried there's not enough money to go around, and you'll miss out? That's never been the case in this vast world of opportunities. There's more than enough money in the universe to answer all your prayers.

And if you can't win it immediately, then you can earn it while you're waiting. Get my special moneymaking program and get started.

*By the way, my millionaire status doesn't include our house which is worth about $1.3 million, or previous lotto wins. And that's not my home in the picture above either. I'll leave THAT to your imagination!

Items On My Office Desk #2

This is my Panasonic Digital super hybrid PBX telephone system.

Our house has eight similar phone extensions - in the main rooms and garage - controlled by a central master switchboard in a hall cupboard at the middle of the house.

This particular system was chosen because we could transfer calls between rooms and answer the front door speakerphone from anywhere. We can also intercom through the phones in each room. There are more features than we'll ever need.

Here's another advantage. My wife and I use the phone a lot, but she gets more calls than me. It was very frustrating to keep answering her calls and either taking a message (I'm not a very good secretary!) or searching through the house to find her.

The solution was remarkably easy... we each have our own phone line.

For example, since we each give out our own dedicated line phone numbers, this immediately stops any message taking by the other partner. If we are not in, then the message goes to our separate voicemail boxes. I don't answer her calls, nor she mine. Easy.

But there are other benefits as well. We have an extension in all our main rooms: the guest bedroom, kitchen, my wife's office, the main bedroom, my office, the garage and a doorphone (below) which can be answered by any extension.

So whenever we get a call that needs to be answered by the other partner, we can transfer it through to almost any room. We can also have our calls transferred to our cell phones.

In short, the system acts like the switchboard system of any small office. I couldn't do without it.

Items On My Desk #1

I thought over the next few days you might be interested in seeing what's on my home office desk. There are not many items because I like to keep it fairly clear, but there's half a dozen that might interest technology buffs.

In this photo you can see my Beamer videophone. (The small item beside it is a temperature guage).

I bought The Beamer about five years ago from the United States, soon after they were introduced. It has a built-in camera and 4" screen, and just plugs into your phone line. But I only used it for a couple of months and then stored it away because it really wasn't that effective. Certainly you could see the person at the other end in jerky black-and-white. And yes, it did work over a standard phone line, but it never was as convenient as a webcam and Skype.

So I keep it on the corner of my desk to remind me that while technology advances us as a civilization, some of it is inherently flawed!
