Still Quick and Easy to Make Money

As I've mentioned before there are plenty of readily available tools for creating money-making opportunities and one of the best in my opinion is still the BANS package - provided you know how to use it. It has been around for a while now and continues to be a very simple way for anybody with little or no technical knowledge to quickly set up an affiliate marketing Website.

The main focus of any site created with BANS is the eBay affiliate program as it pulls live listings from eBay itself; but it is also incredibly simple to include Adsense or any other PPC ads. It would appear to be fairly common knowledge that Google doesn't particularly like BANS sites and routinely penalises them in the SERPS. However, the trick to getting traffic is to focus on a small niche and create a site that visitors will find useful - which means adding plenty of non-affiliate content.

You can view an example of a niche store at Buy Militaria and I think most would agree that it looks very professional. Apart from the fairly basic header image (which most people could quickly knock up in any graphics program), the whole layout is template driven from the simple to use BANS admin panel. Another great thing about the Build A Niche Store software is that you only need to invest in it once and you can build as many money making Websites as you need - this means that you could multiply a number of niches into a very nice income.

Creative Problem Solving

How long does it take to come up with a solution to a creative problem? Well perhaps I should say; 'how long is a piece of string?'... But one thing I have learned is that banging your head on a brick wall seldom accomplishes anything. So my advice is to go for a walk, have a cup of tea, go to the gym, watch TV, in fact; anything that will take your mind off the problem for the time being.

What I always find is that a little time away from the problem allows the subconscious mind to work on the solution in the background. Then suddenly as if from nowhere the answer 'pops up' into my mind. Easy! If you're in the UK and you want to find more info about Creative Problem Solving take a look at Gareth Morris Associates >>

I've also become a big fan of Tony Buzan's Mind Maps too. But more of that another time...

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari - Book Review

“A spiritual fable about fulfilling your dreams and reaching your destiny”

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma is a bestselling fable about Julian Mantle, a highly successful lawyer, who finds his frantic lifestyle pulled up short by a heart attack during a court appearance. After recovering and deciding that his life is going nowhere except to an early grave; Julian Mantle opts out of his current existence and goes off travelling in search of happiness, fulfilment and the meaning of life. He finds the answers in an ancient Himalayan culture and returns home to share this wisdom with his closest friend and ex business associate John.


What’s in it?
If you feel there is something missing in your life, or perhaps that that there is too much work and not enough time for enjoying yourself, or even that people irritate and bore you, then this could be an important book for you.

Inspirational quotations start each chapter and help to give a sort of overview of the message to come. This seems to be quite a common theme in books of the same genre but I think it is a nice touch and fits in well.

The book is easy to read and the characters are likeable enough. Although, perhaps it is just me, but I found some of the dialogue a little trite and occasionally even a touch silly, which I felt detracted slightly from the overall message. However, it has to be said that the lessons learned by both the characters and the reader remain nonetheless in my opinion positive and worthwhile.


Conclusion
There are many so called ‘self help’ books which convey similar messages to those found in The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari some of which impart their wisdom from a personal vantage point and others, like this one, that prefer to use fictional characters and settings to tell a story.

If like me you’re not a newcomer to self development, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari may simply serve to boost your already positive mindset and you might find that it serves no more than to pass the time as an enjoyable ‘feel good’ read. And if that is the case, then what is wrong with that?

To anybody who is on a path of personal development and seeking individual happiness, or who simply enjoys positive thinking and enlightening reading, then overall I would highly recommend The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.
