Pick it up here free:
Free excerpt "Creating and Maintaing Balance."
I did not get much done today. Well I maybe not. I did learn lots about placing an add on craigslist, and lots about SEO. I posted an ad today, just now I will let you know how it does. I usually get about 8 hits a day off craigslist. There are so many variables to the posts such as category, time of day, number of other posts, etc... all these factors will make it difficult to rate the success of the new posting format. I to track my clicks so i will know what ad was selected and what action they took from there.

business, marketing, Sliced bread and success
On the road to internet Success - day 3 and 4
The other day I did a post about the 7 habits of highly effective people and how it relates to creating wealth. Over the next few days I will have to take that advise and put it to use.
First thing I will need to do is get the end in sight. What do I want out of this? I know it is an experiment and I hope to be a resource for others looking to make more money or and an extra stream of income to their life. I have to decide how much money do I want to make form this venture? Where do I want it to take me? Lots to think about.
I think the biggest thing I need to do is plan each day. Make a list of things that will help me make money. On that list start with the most difficult task, or the task that I do not want to do. I find that I waste lots of time. I watch a video, they mention a good idea so I pause the video, look up the idea and open up 20 different web pages. Meanwhile I have not seen the rest of the video and am off onto something totally different. I can go in circles lie this all day long, bad habit that I have to break. So I have to get myself a notebook, and jot down my to do list for the next day. I think this will keep me on track and get focused for the next day.
Well that about covers it for today. Leave me and others a comment, would love to hear your thoughts.

Internet Success Wealth building book list - 1 of 10
Books to help Build online Wealth – Top 10 List
The first book I recommend is Think and Grow Rich. This book is old but still worth reading. There is a new version that is said to have been updated to be more applicable for today’s economy and technology. I have not read the update version so I cannot comment on it, though I do think I will take a look at it.
N. Hill created a success encyclopedia by documenting the beliefs and behaviors all the great men and women of his time share in common.
As part of my business plan I am not spending any money that I do not have. If you follow this model you have a few options:
- Hurry up and sell something so you can go buy it
- Go to the library and borrow theirs
- Go to the bock store pick it up, grab a coffee and read it there
For those of you who do not like to read or have the time to sit down you can also get it on CD. I plan on doing this down the road. Riding in the car is a great time to listen to all these products. I do fin that I do not get near as much out if it when I am listening to it in the car but I still feel it is a better use of my time than listening to trash on the radio and much safer than talking on the phone while I drive.
Pleas leave a comment as to what books you think would help others in their quest for internet riches and wealth

On the road to internet Success - day 2
As you can see I went with blogger. This will change as I start to make money online and pay for hosting. Part of my plan is to start from scratch and not but any of my own money into it, mainly because I do not have any. I know this will take a little longer but I do want to see how long it takes to build an on-line business from scratch with empty pockets.
Today I:
- Added twitter feed, added twitter to my blog
- Added a traffic counter to the blog, the stats are open for everyone to see as I want you to be able to follow my success
- Created a feeburner feed
- went to open up a business but I could only go so far because of the fees involved
Today I will do more work on the blog to make it a little more informative. Then I will have to do some research to see what tomorrow should focus on.
Good luck to building your own internet wealth system.

Rags to Riches Day 1
Day 1 on my way to internet marketing success
Today is the first day of my rags to riches story. I am tired of not having the time or money to do as I like. I have heard of so many other making money on line and living the life I would like to. So I said I will do my best to earn an extra stream of income from my online efforts.
Today is the beginning of my journey to internet marketing success. I am off to a slow start as I only did a few things today to get ready for the riches that lie ahead. Maybe that is a bad sign, you often hear of people that take off like a race horse as they begin, but I want this, so I do believe that I will be successful.
Here is a list of what I did today:
Signed up on twitter – you can follow me there too, RoadToWealth
Started a blog - Internet riches, this is it that you are reading now- Opened up an e-mail account - internetroadtowealthATgmail.com feel free to contact me there
- I also signed up for an affiliate account at http://www.thesecondtier.com
You can get a free DVD form them if you follow my first Affiliate Link: http://atltrainer.TheSecondTier.com/freedvd - I watched a few how-to videos on the site
I think that was about it for my first day. I would say that it took about 2 hours, was not all that fun but I think it is stuff that needed to be done to start out.
Next I plan on working on my blog here, adding content and links, set up a feed, add a statcounter, find some fours to join and see how fast I can get my first Affiliate sale.
I will talk to you again soon as things happen
