Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Clickbank provide the most effective ways of promoting your own or other people’s products.

2.I’ve been reading both books, and am incredibly impressed. Harvey has packed so much information that you NEED into ebooks that are amazingly readable. There is no waffle, no ‘business speak’ just EVERYTHING you need to know in plain English. So much so that I can hand on heart make this statement: ‘If you want to sell your own product or make money selling someone else’s online, one or both of Harvey’s books are vital to your success.’ Martin Avis kickstartdaily.com

3.Harvey, I’m envious! You’ve produced not one, but two great new ebooks for the ClickBank marketer. Every previous ClickBank resource has been multi-purpose, but you’ve gone one step better and produced separate tactical manuals for ClickBank vendors and affiliates. You have crammed in dozens of the most powerful tips and, in your usual style, every one of them gets straight to the point. Any ClickBank marketer who doesn’t earn more after reading your ebooks is simply not trying. Tim Coulter ClickBank Definitive Guide

4.I just finished looking over your ‘ClickBank Affiliate Supertips’ and ‘ClickBank Vendor Supertips’ ebooks and found them both to be loaded with valuable information.

If you’re not satisfied with your current affiliate commission, I’d recommend you pick up a copy of this excellent book – it’ll show you a bonanza of tips and tricks that will increase your profits. Adrian Ling easybiztools.com

6.The CAS eBook is a real eye-opener! Your eBook could turn a newbie affiliate into a pro within a few hours itself. I’ve been a ClickBank affiliate for over an year now, and most of the commissions I’ve made are really trial and error ones. When I heard about your eBook, I first thought it would have the same old tips of cloaking your affiliate links n stuff, but boy was I wrong. You have mentioned solutions for problems that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. I followed your tips and found at least 2 sites where I could be losing my affiliate commissions. I can’t imagine how many commissions I would have lost if I kept on promoting the programs without following your advice. Thanks again! Pooja Srinivas coursesuseek.com

7.Having all of Harvey’s great books is a must if you plan on doing any business with ClickBank!

Ayahuasca – Medicine for the Soul Part 5


Monday, November 30th, 2009



Ayahuasca, is regarded as the ‘gateway’ to the Soul. The fifth and concluding part of this article explores this fascinating plant brew from the Amazon Rainforest. Ayahuasca is the jungle medicine of the upper Amazon. It is made from the ayahuasca vine ( Banisteriopsis Caapi) and the leaf of the Chacruna plant (Psychotria Viridis). The two make a potent medicine, which takes one into the visionary world. The vine is an inhibitor, which contains harmala and harmaline among other alkaloids, and the leaf contains vision-inducing alkaloids. As with all natural medicines, it is a mixture of many alkaloids that makes their unique properties.

In this context, the teacher plants can provide a doorway to great and meaningful insights in the adventure of personal growth and healing. The growth and healing has therefore to be also in the physical world, thereby offering the opportunity to reveal our emotions, traumatic and turbulent experiences hidden or otherwise and so these can be released and ourselves restored. This access to our soul companion (our greater selves) , this flowing omni-present force guiding our life which presents with what are often called euphemistically “growth opportunities” for us to overcome. The plant teachers can show us these, where we can transcend linear time itself, and we journey within this eternal now at the very place in time where we experienced such a difficult event or suffered a troubled pervasive period in our life. We can re-experience this albeit from a different perspective, learn what happened, the reasons why it occurred and the subsequent impact and consequences on our life, and then to release any pain and trauma locked within our being. This release within the Ayahuasca experience is called ‘la purga’ our purge, when we literally purge this pain from our being, it is not only the contents of our stomach which are being released but also the deeply stored bile and sourness in our bodies generated from these difficult events. The plants offer us the potential for deep soul healing so we can become stronger and more able to engage fully in the precious gift of life.

Developing a personal relationship with Ayahuasca is within a background of an ancient body of practices. The oldest know object related to the use of ayahuasca is a ceremonial cup, hewn out of stone, with engraved ornamentation, which was found in the Pastaza culture of the Ecuadorian Amazon from 500 B.C. to 50 A.D. It is deposited in the collection of the Ethnological Museum of the Central University (Quito, Ecuador). This indicates that ayahuasca potions were known and used at least 2,500 years ago.

For example, there is a dietary regimen, and prohibitions regarding libidinous thoughts and activity. These considerations need to be respected and can not be ignored if one embarks on a path of communion with the plant. On observation and study (also called trial and error), this regime helps us to become more ‘plant like’, therefore increasing our receptivity to the plant-spirit-mind.

Many of my visionary experiences with Ayahuasca have led to a deeper understanding of my life and the role that various people had played in it. Sometimes I became those people, lived their lives, and came to understand why they did what they did, what decisions they had to make in their lives. These revelatory experiences invariably led to some form of closure with that person, like completing an open chapter, or a profound healing of my relationship with that person.

Medicines like ayahuasca can help us along our path but we still have to do the work ourselves. My experience is that these kind of allies can help us open the doors of perception, but what we do when we get there is entirely our own challenge.

Small Business Marketing | How To Write An Article To Grow Your Business


Saturday, November 28th, 2009



Do you subscribe to internet newsletters, read books or buy the same magazine or newspaper on a regular basis?

If so, why?

Well my friends I’m going to take a stab in the dark here and say the main reason for you reading something on a regular basis is because what is being said is of interest to you. Yes I know that assumption or guess is hardly rocket science but when it comes to writing your articles you have to remember that the most important thing is the content.

The actual subject of your article isn’t really that important in a way as the chances are there are people out there who will be interested in what you’re writing about. However if you use articles as just another way to promote your business instead of focusing on your readers then I’m afraid your articles won’t be read, won’t be published by many people and won’t bring you results.

So if killer content is the key how do you actually make sure you do it?

Well here are 5 top tips on how to write an article that if followed will turn your thoughts, observations and words on a particular subject into article gold dust.

Top Tip Number 1 – A.I.D.A

For those of you already familiar with A.I.D.A you’ll know just how important having a structure to something is (be it a letter, an advertisement, a press release or an article).

A.I.D.A being:

Attention

Interest

Desire

Action

For many articles you will only get a small opportunity to get the readers attention and make them want to read more. Therefore make sure your article begins with a catchy headline and ensure the first paragraph explains what the article is about (in many cases a problem) and how the article is going to solve the problem.

So once you get your readers attention, make sure what you’re saying is interesting. How many times have you brought a book based on the cover, the title or what’s written on the back only to start reading it and think BORING!

The same applies to your article writing. It is pointless promising the world and delivering next to nothing. Not only will it annoy the reader but it will also put them off your writing long term.

Also on the subject of interest make sure what you’re saying is somehow different to the crowd (and believe me in the world of article writing there’s a pretty big crowd). Don’t worry though as they’ll still be hundreds and thousands (and dare I say millions for the right articles) of people wanting to read well written articles.

Desire – what do you desire? The secret to great article writing is turning curiosity into a desire to get something. If you do that your article writing will transform your life and the lives of others. By that I mean that you have to make people really want to know what you have to say. Just imagine an article with the headline of “The secret of life finally revealed”. I for one would want to know what it was (PS…I do actually know what this is so if you’d like to know please visit the Nettle Helpdesk at http://thenettle.com/helpdesk/index.php and just ask me).

Clearly your articles may not reveal such things but for many people across the World what you have to say will be important to them and they will want to know more. Examples being:

“This Years Top 10 Christmas Presents” – people will want to know what they are

“The secrets to playing better golf” – people will read it (I know I would)

“Why 8 out of 10 women prefer Chocolate to Sex” – women will probably want to know who the other 20% are and men will be checking the Top 10 Christmas Presents above to see if they should take the sexy underwear they’ve just brought their partners back to the shop and instead buy them a big bar of chocolate instead! (my tip on this is buy both – well, you never know!)

My point is, make people want and desire you knowledge.

The final point of A.I.D.A is Action but we’ll look at that more in Top Tip number 5 next month.

Top Tip Number 2 – Share your secrets

I’m not a religious man myself but I’m sure there’s a passage in the Bible somewhere about in order to receive you must at first giveth. The same is true with articles. The chances are you will be writing about something that you have some expertise in or you have a real passion for. With this in mind you shouldn’t hold back with your knowledge. Instead share your knowledge and yes your trade secrets with your readers. And the good news is even if they don’t agree with you; they will respect you sharing your thoughts with them.

Top Tip Number 3 – Benefits

If you’re not an Information Technology expert and you have ever gone to purchase a computer you’ll know what I mean here. You go into a computer shop and you’re told all about the latest computer and what features it has. RAM, Hard Drive, Multiple USB’s, Pentium Processors, Prompt Action Mean Drive. OK so I made the last one up but going shopping for a computer might as well be like attending a Rocket Science conference as far as many people are concerned because the sales people focus on the features and not the benefits. All I want to know can I set it up quickly and use the internet, can I write some letters and store accounts information and can I download and play the latest tunes and films. Tell me that and you might have a sale. Make me look stupid by using jargon and technical mumbo jumbo (is mumbo jumbo jargon by the way?) and I’ll smile and way away.

Top Tip Number 3 is to focus on the benefits that your article gives.

If you’re giving tips on how kittens can be taught to use a litter tray then focus on the benefits that your house and carpet won’t smell of cat wee. If you’re writing on how to get the best insurance deal then focus on you the fact that you will save time and money.

Features don’t sell. Benefits do.

Use benefits in your article writing and watch your profits increase and your business grow.
