Killer Content Review
This review of Killer Content is an unbiased opinion, but it may not sound that way.
Socrates (the creator of the Killer Content system) has turned fantasy into a reality. Every one of those “I wish this program would” obstacles you have faced in the past are definitely in the past now.
If you are doing anything Internet related from marketing a product to marketing yourself, Killer Content is what you need.
You simply click on the “Site Manager” icon on the Dashboard and add your blog information so the program knows where to send your “project”.
Now that it knows where things are going, you simply create a project by selecting the articles related to your blog. They have thousands of articles to choose from and your can edit, modify or even spin the article right on the screen. When you are satisfied with the article you can save it by clicking the “project add” icon. Now you have a project with one article in it.
Select more articles and save them to the same project until you build up a sizable amount of content and then you are ready to publish.
One incredible feature of the article data base is you can search it by keyword. Yes you heard that right; you can search thousands of articles by the exact keywords you are using for your blog. That is a feature I will never be able to live without keyword search again.
Now that you have a project you can do one of two things or both. You can publish it to your blog with the “Auto Poster” which has so many features it could easily be a product of its own, or you can generate an eBook with each of the articles appearing as a new chapter.
Create an ebook in pdf format with a click of a button? This is also something that could be a stand alone product and something I can no longer live without.
That is it. It took me longer to talk about Killer Content than it did to put about one full two years worth of content on my own blog.

What the Home Worker Needs To Know to Make Money Online
With a computer and high speed Internet access, the potential for the
home worker to make money online is virtually limitless. When it comes
to finding the right home based business opportunity, there are several
things to consider. Here are the top five:
1. Are You a Salesperson?
Some people have a natural talent for sales, while others couldn't sell water to someone stranded in the desert. For the home based worker who has the ability to sell, network marketing may be the perfect home based business. Network marketing typically involves selling products in one or more niche markets, as well as selling the opportunity. Also known as multi-level marketing, network marketing pays commissions based on a percentage of your sales and on the sales of your "downline," or those you have recruited to sell the product. Each opportunity has its own commission plan, and many pay bonuses on top of commissions.
2. Are You Experienced?
If you have years of experience being a home worker, you probably have a good idea of your strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand, if you're new to being an entrepreneur, you probably need training. Look for a company that offers the tools and training you need in order to succeed. The type of training you receive can encompass everything from weekly conference calls or webinars (Internet-based seminars), to one-on-one coaching from your upline, to training manuals and other written materials.
3. Are You Internet Savvy?
If you know your way around the Internet and know something about setting up and hosting websites, the possibilities are endless. You can create your own websites, for example, and start generating affiliate revenue and Google AdSense revenue.
If you haven't the foggiest idea of how to set up and host a website, be sure to find a company you can partner with who will do the heavy lifting. There are many Internet-based opportunities for the home based worker from companies that provide what are called "replicated sites." They'll design and host your websites for you, so that all you have to do is work on marketing in order to drive traffic to your site.
4. How Much do You Want to Work?
Before selecting a home based business opportunity, honestly assess how much you want to work. If a stay-at-home mom needs extra money, she may only want to work two or three hours a day. If someone wants to quit the rat race and work full time as a home worker, money for moms simply won't be enough income. Sometimes a single home based business will provide all of the revenue a person needs, while other times you have to embark on several opportunities to diversify and multiply your revenue streams.
5. How Hands-On do You Want to Be?
Some home based business opportunities require that you be actively involved on a day-to-day basis, either in order fulfillment and customer service or in marketing your websites or businesses. Other opportunities are more passive in nature, in that you have to spend a lot of time initially, but they become self-perpetuating. If you're a home worker who enjoys being an ongoing active participant, choose an opportunity that requires you to interact with other people. If you prefer to be hands-off, select a business that will basically run itself.

A Workout For People Who Don't Want To Work Out
There's good news for people who want to watch their weight without
giving up watching TV. Now there's a new workout for couch potatoes and
people who think they're too busy to find time to stay fit.
With time at a premium, many Americans are turning to creative forms of exercise. In a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive for the North American Spine Society, three out of four people said they used the stairs rather than the elevator at work, 58 percent said they started parking their cars far away in parking lots and almost half reported walking while on the phone.
At the same time, however, 46 percent of people described themselves as couch potatoes--a major contributing factor to being overweight. Many adults say they have procrastinated working out in order to do other activities, such as watching television, sleeping in, doing household chores or working.
Approximately three in four adults say they would exercise more if they could fit it into their daily routines, however, and a majority of adults say they would exercise more often if they could do it at home. Among noncouch potatoes, 80 percent would like to get more exercise, but say they don't have the time.
Meanwhile, more than 4 million Americans suffer disc problems. One out of four Americans over 30 will have recurring back pain, and one in 14 will seek medical care for back or neck pain this year, totalling almost 14 million visits per year. Back pain is the second most common reason that people visit a physician. Back and neck pain result in more lost workdays than any other condition. Due to absenteeism, medical and other related expenses, the cost of back injuries exceeds $80 billion each year in the United States. Exercise is one way to avoid back problems.
That's why it's important to find time to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. In addition to things such as climbing stairs and parking farther away, there are a number of fun ways to make your daily tasks opportunities to exercise:
• Feet Alphabet. This exercise can be done anywhere you are sitting, except while driving. It should not be hard to find a place. Simply write the alphabet in the air with each of your feet and ankles. You can do the letters in capitals or small letters and, for that matter, in any language you would like. Doing this two or three times on each ankle will begin to strengthen the ankle and maintain or improve motion.
• Doing the Dishes Neck Circles. This exercise is easily done while doing the always fun task of washing the dishes. As you are standing there at the sink, slowly rotate your neck in a clockwise position, trying to extend the tip of your head out as far as possible. After three or four rotations, repeat the exercise in a counter-clockwise position. Remember, these rotations should be done slowly and in a pain-free range of motion. Besides increasing the flexibility of the neck, these exercises can pass the time of doing dishes.
• Overhead Laundry Toss. Put the laundry basket directly in front of you and have the washer or dryer directly behind you. Grab a piece or two of dirty clothes, reach over your head slowly and drop the laundry into the washer. Again, start with dry clothes, then progress to wet clothes from the washer into the dryer.
• Remote Wrist Lifts. This can be done on any Sunday afternoon watching multiple football games. Simply take the remote control (use the biggest one you have from the pile of remotes) and, while sitting watching your favorite team or movie and with your arm pointing toward the TV, aim the remote at the ceiling, moving your wrist only. Hold it there for 10 seconds, then aim it at the floor, again only moving the wrist. Repeat this three to four times during every commercial. Be careful not to accidentally change the channel when doing this exercise or it may irritate people who are watching TV with you.
These are just some ideas from "The Couch Potato Workout: 101 Exercises You Can Do At Home!" by Joel M. Press, M.D., president of the North American Spine Society and medical director of the Spine and Sports Institute at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. "The Couch Potato Workout" describes numerous practical and functional exercises people can do to build strength, balance and flexibility as part of their normal daily routine.

5000 Year-Old Medical Secret Unearthed!
When you get sick, you go to the doctor. And the doctor will, of course, prescribe medicines. You will go and buy medicines. You take them, and hopefully, you get well.
This is how the health profession goes on nowadays – a cycle of diagnosis and prescription.
If anyone were to give you herbs for medicine, you would probably say that that person was a quack.
But nowadays, studies are being conducted to see if there are really is any merit to what is called natural medicine.
Natural medicine is the use of natural methods, herbal medicines, and traditional practices to heal ailments. Every culture has a form of natural medicine.
In ancient cultures, village medicine men served as the doctors of the community, passing on medical knowledge to the apprentices that followed them.
Many categories of the healing methods fall under natural medicine. Among these are traditional medicine, complementary medicine, and alternative medicine.
Usually, natural medicine refers to medical practices that were in place before the advent of modern medicine. This includes herbal medicine, or physiotherapy, which is prevalent in Chinese, Ayurveda (or Indian), and Greek medicine.
Upon the advent of modern medicine, many professionals discarded the use of herbs in favor of man-made medicine.
The fact that these treatments are based on the healing properties of some herbs was forgotten. For example, opium, digitalis, quinine, and aspirin all have their roots in traditional medicine. Natural medicine can be considered as a lost art.
This does not mean that it has lost efficacy over time. In some cases, natural therapy is actually better than modern medicine. This leads some doctors to seriously consider and study the possible uses of natural medicine
Before we continue, it is important to stress that not all the natural remedies are legitimate. It would help to only try those remedies which have been thoroughly studied and are relatively risk free.
Take herbal medicine for example. There are many well-documented and studied herbal remedies available. However, only those that deal with minor ailments such as cough, colds, fever, skin rashes, and its ilk are likely to be recommended by health professionals.
These remedies are sometimes superior to synthetic medicine. This is because herbal medicines are less likely to cause negative side effects.
Currently there are numerous organizations that study the effects and advocacy of natural medicine – among which is herbal medicine. Some governments and health agencies openly advocate the use of natural methods since they are inexpensive and relatively risk-free. As their studies compile, more herbs and treatments are added to the list of accepted medicines.
However, many herbs and treatments have been proven to be bogus medicine.
This represents a challenge for both the user and the agencies because they have to ascertain that the treatments they either use or advocate are legitimate.
There exist today many alternative medical treatments that fall under natural medicine. However, not all of them have been proven to be effective. You could mention homeopathy, aromatherapy, acupuncture, and other alternative medical treatments. It would pay to consult the experts as to the legitimacy of these treatments.
Natural medicine should also be thought of as an accompanying medicine. Right now, the current collective medical thought suggests that natural medicine be used only to supplement accepted modern medical practices. In that case of minor ailments your expert we actually advise you to take natural therapies instead.
The practice of modern medicine revolves around diagnosing an illness and prescribing treatments for such.
Natural medicine is helpful because it suggests that treatment be not necessarily given only when sick. Natural medicine strives to make each patient practice good health habits. These habits include good diet, healthy living, and the regular natural treatment. It is this same line of thought that leads our parents to tell us to eat our vegetables.
Yes, a healthy lifestyle and will do no harm to our well-being. And this is the foundation of natural medicine – may it be massage, herbal medicine, aromatherapy or others. It is funny but true that science, in its quest for excellence, is studying the knowledge of sages past.
This, surprisingly, leads us back to the remedies nature offers. The possibilities of finding remedies to everyday illnesses in natural medicine are encouraging. So staying tuned to studying these remedies is worthwhile until we can verify that these therapies are truly helpful to our health and our society.

Building A Better Body - Part 4
Now that I've written out my goal weights for my next workout; written
out and prepared the meals I plan to eat tomorrow; made sure I've got
the supplements I need to use, the final thing I do is prepare my
clothes. Since I work out in the morning, I make sure I've got a
comfortable T-shirt, a pair of track pants, some socks and underwear,
and my tennis shoes and baseball hat laid out. Then, I pack the clothes
I'll wear at work in my gym bag. Last, I make sure I've got my iPod (a
digital headphone/music system that helps keep my intensity up, while
working out in the early morning), wallet, keys, and cell phone... all
packed and ready to go. After this, I'm off to bed. It's usually around
10:00 or 10:30 p.m.
"There's nothing more refreshing, and important, than a tall glass of water first thing in the morning."The next morning, just like I do every day, I wake up at 5:15 a.m. Without hesitation, before getting dressed, I head for the kitchen and pour a large glass of water. There's nothing more refreshing, and important, than a tall glass of water first thing in the morning. Especially considering your body hasn't had any food or liquids for about seven to eight hours. Typically, most people would make a cup of coffee at this point-to help them "get going." But I don't feel this way. I think coffee actually robs your body of energy, instead of really giving it to you. As you know, when you drink coffee, the increase in energy only lasts about an hour, until it wears off, leaving you feeling worse than you did before. This is called the "crash." I hate the way this makes me feel.
That's why I helped create and use a supplement, instead, called Energize. We developed this all-natural supplement with Dr. Mark Tallon. He is a very bright person, earning his Ph.D. in biochemistry. He even works with Olympic athletes as a nutrition consultant. Plus, he's an IronMan triathlete himself. To say this guy is brilliant, and in great shape, is an understatement.
He formulated Energize to work with your body's natural ability to produce safe, long-lasting energy. And it works especially well, either in the morning to really perk you up, or during the middle of the day to avoid the fatal midday "crash" after lunch. I absolutely love using it before I weight train. I find it clears my mind and cranks up my workout intensity. This is helpful when you train, like I do, at 6:00 in the morning!
I take two time-released tablets of Energize with my water (on an empty stomach). I head back upstairs to my bedroom, get dressed... kiss my wife and kids goodbye (while they're still sleeping), grab my gym bag, and head off to the gym.
I usually arrive at the gym a few minutes before 6:00 and, after getting my iPod headphones on with my favorite music, I'm ready to start training by 6:00 a.m. sharp. Today I am going to work out my chest, shoulders, biceps, and triceps. (See The Exercises section by clicking here for a detailed explanation and demonstration photos for all of the exercises I do.)
Today's weight-training workout should take no longer than my scheduled goal of 45 minutes. While it's not my goal to always finish under my scheduled time, it is important to stay within it by a couple of minutes. After my workout, I sit down on a bench and take a couple of minutes to record my final actual reps and then run a quick glance over my goal to actual planned weights and reps for each exercise. Today everything was pretty close.
Remember, when you do your workouts, you might use less or more weight than I do. That doesn't really matter. What matters most is that you keep a constant record of the actual weights and reps you did, and pay close attention to the time you rest between sets. This way, you're sure to keep your intensity levels up and make the most of your time spent in the gym. I also use this time to jot down a few notes about the workout. For instance, today I repeatedly noticed how pumped my arms felt. I got a great burn, and I was very strong. In fact, I'll need to make a note for the next time I train chest that I should increase the weights used-since I hit a new six-rep max today! This is all very important information to record.
And this is it for the weight-training portion of my day. Pretty simple, eh? Not easy, but as you'll see in my new book, it's relatively simple to follow!
"...there is absolutely, positively no better way to start your day than with an intense, focused weight-training workout."After I finish my early morning workout, it's usually around 6:50 a.m. and it's time to get into the office and focus on my nutrition. I have to tell you, though, there is absolutely, positively no better way to start your day than with an intense, focused weight-training workout. By the time I walk into my office, my mind is refreshed, and I'm ready to take on the day's challenges.
Following the weight-training Program from Maximum Growth Volume 2 means I train with weights four days a week. I follow the calendar to the letter (which is contained in the new book as well). In fact, like I said earlier, the closer I follow my plan, the faster I see results... and the greater my progress.
Oh yeah, even though this Program doesn't suggest doing any cardio exercise, if you want to perform it, I would encourage you to do it on alternate days. On the days you don't weight train. Or, if you have the time, you can always perform cardio after you train with weights. But remember, never, ever perform cardio before your weight-training workouts or the day after you train your legs.
By the way, there is really no need to do cardio exercise any more than three times during the week and for no more than 30 minutes at a time. Any more than this will only be harmful to your muscle-building progress.
I arrive at my office at 7:00 a.m., and the very first thing I do is head for the kitchen-to eat. But not any meal will do. Because I just worked out, my body is primed for quality nutrients to help it recover and start rebuilding new, lean muscle mass. (Besides that, I haven't eaten now for nine hours, so I'm extremely hungry too!) This time is called my "open window." My muscles will literally suck up anything I feed them during this state. That's why it's critical we combine our post-workout meal into a specific three-to-one ratio of carbohydrates to protein.
I start off by making an Eat-Smart meal replacement shake. I simply combine 20 oz of water into the blender, add three ice cubes and two rounded scoops of my Eat-Smart Base formula. Then, because I'm going to have my favorite post-workout Fruit Smoothie Maximum Muscle Shake, I add one Strawberry Cheesecake Flavor Enhancer packet to the blender. Now, for added carbohydrates, I add one-half cup of frozen strawberries. And to top it off, I add two scoops of our orange-flavored lean-mass-building supplement, Meta-CEL. Each serving of Meta-CEL provides an effective dose of creatine and D-pinitol, two compounds which have been shown in a recent study to increase absorption and retention of creatine within the body. (The more creatine you have in the body, and the longer it stays there, the more likely you are to experience greater gains in muscle size and strength and retain it for longer). The reason I use orange is because when it's mixed with the strawberry flavors already in the blender, it gives the shake a fruity taste-a lot like one of those frozen tropical fruit smoothies you get while on vacation in Mexico or Hawaii.
While blending my special Maximum Muscle shake, I heat up a bowl of water in the microwave and stir in one-half cup of old-fashioned oats. After it's heated up, I stir in two packets of Splenda sweetener. And now, for my "post-workout" meal, I've got a chilled, thick, rich nutrition shake... and a bowl of complex, heart-healthy oats... in less than a minute. That's what I call convenient. I've now provided myself with the perfect three-to-one ratio of carbs to protein, which is essential for supplying my body with the precise nutrients it needs to reach my goals. This "meal" will keep me satisfied for another two and a half hours, at least. So, I take a shower, get dressed, and start my work day by 7:30 a.m.
In between my first and second meal, I'm continually drinking water from a large bottle I keep at my desk. It is really important to stay hydrated, especially since I just trained as well (and lost a great deal of water through perspiration).
At 10:00 a.m. I'm ready for my second meal. I take a quick look at my nutrition plan, and I've got "tuna pita sandwich, brown rice, and half an apple" written down. So, I head back to the kitchen to eat just that. (I like to take paperwork back with me to read while I eat. This way I can be more efficient.) With this meal, I make sure I drink two tall glasses of water as well.
I have a luncheon meeting today, so I won't need to prepare anything in the kitchen for lunch. At 12:20 p.m., my appointment arrives 10 minutes early. We head to lunch at a favorite nearby restaurant of mine in Golden, called Blue Sky. I like this place because the servers, managers, and owner know me very well. (Keep this in mind the next time you go out to eat. Try to choose places where you can visit regularly and employees can begin to become familiar with your healthy eating habits.) I find this helps. A lot. They don't look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for egg whites and extra chicken, with no butter. This is important, because you don't want to miss out on being able to socialize and have breakfast, lunch, or dinner with your family, friends, or people you work with. It's easier to become familiar with restaurants that will happily accommodate your "healthy" eating requests. If they don't, then I wouldn't eat there any longer.
Today, just like most days when I visit Blue Sky, I order the Rambler Skillet. This dish consists of sliced potatoes, diced chicken breast, egg whites, topped with roasted pecans. It's a perfect combination of complex carbs, good quality proteins, and even essential fats (from the nuts). With lunch, I drink a glass of iced tea with a packet of Splenda and a glass of water as well.
About 30 minutes after lunch, I typically take another two tablets of Energize. This way, I am certain I won't get hit by the "mid-day crash," which no matter how hard you try, sometimes seems inevitable. I don't always need this extra dosage of Energize, but I know I still have a lot of work to do, and I'm going to be working late. Besides that, I have several more important meetings today, and I really want to be refreshed, clear-minded, and focused for them. Energize does that for me and keeps me going strong all day.
At 3:00 p.m., I head for the kitchen to make an Eat-Smart nutrition shake. Only this time, I make a different flavor. See, that's the great thing about Eat-Smart: you can choose from a wide variety of flavors so you never get bored with them-like I did with regular chocolate and vanilla from other shakes I used to drink. This time I'm going to make a Cinnamon Roll flavored shake. And to get another 50 grams of carbs, I'll add a banana to the blender while I'm mixing it up. Man, these shakes are tasty. I know I'm a little biased, but they're almost too good if you ask me! A lot of people have emailed to tell me how much they love the flavors of Eat-Smart and that it contains such high-quality ingredients, like fiber and flaxseed oil. That makes me feel good-because we worked really, really hard to develop such a fantastic supplement.
As you can see, it's important to feed your body with protein, carbohydrates, and essential fats it needs. That's why I eat every two and half to three hours during the day.
At 5:30 p.m. I have what I call a "snack-meal." It's not really a full meal, and it's definitely more than a snack. It's not really a part of the Program I've put together for you, but I do this differently because I know I'm going to be heading home from work in about an hour to 90 minutes, and my wife Julia... well, let's just say she's from the South and loves to cook. So, while I don't want to spoil her fantastic dinner, by eating too much too soon before we eat dinner, I don't like to go home starving. My snack-meal consists of a bowl of low-fat cottage cheese, some fruit, and a overloaded spoonful of Power Butter's peanut butter. This gives me just the right amount of protein, carbs, and some healthy fats. This type of meal will also digest more slowly and therefore I won't feel as hungry when I get home, which keeps me from overeating (which, if you ever come over to visit and eat at my house, is easy to do, with my wife's glorious cooking).
I usually arrive home near 7:00 p.m. That's when we have dinner as a family. Although my wife is a great cook, she is also very cautious of how our food is prepared. While she doesn't douse our foods in butters and unhealthy oils, she uses plenty of spices and healthy oils to really make our food taste great! Plus, one of our goals as parents is to help our children learn healthy eating habits, early on, so they can live healthier lives too. Julia always makes sure protein is the center of our meals, whether it's chicken, fresh fish, or red meat. Tonight she has prepared her famous tuna steaks with fat-free wassabi mayonnaise. A side dish of wild brown rice and asparagus accompanied the meal. (For more of Julia's meals, you can read her regular column, by subscribing to our Real SOLUTIONS magazine, or find them in The Lean System Nutrition Guide.)
Finally, at 9:30 p.m., I have another Eat-Smart shake. Only this time, I use less water than the label recommends, which makes it into a creamy pudding. I use the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup flavor. This is my absolute favorite flavor, only to a close second Cookies and Cream. After I mix it up with a spoon in a bowl, I let it sit in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Voila! It's instant dessert, only I know it's good for me.
After I finish my Eat-Smart pudding nutrition shake, I drink another serving of Meta-CEL, mixed with eight ounces of water. I always use a second serving of Meta-CEL on the days when I weight train because I know my body needs it (and will use it!). Now, with my Meta-CEL, I take a multivitamin and mineral formula (it's made by GNC, called Mega Men).
"...there is nothing overcomplicated about my workouts, my eating habits, nor the supplements I take. There is no magic."Now, it's close to 10:00 p.m., so I sit down and review my notes from today and start my planning for tomorrow. The next day, however, I won't be weight training, so I only have to plan out my meals.
And that's it! That's how I put all of the basic pieces together to build the best body my genetics will allow. It's pretty simple, and best of all, it's worked well for me, and I'm certain it can work for you too!
As you can plainly see, there is nothing overcomplicated about my workouts, my eating habits, nor the supplements I take. There is no magic. To be honest, I'd say most people make it way more complex than it needs to be. Now, make no mistake about it, I'm not saying it's easy. Rather, I believe it's simple. It's simple to follow a plan-as long as you've carefully thought it out. The most important thing is to be consistent and treat each day as another step closer toward reaching your ultimate goals. Put enough steps together and you will not only begin to feel better about yourself and the changes you're capable of making, but you'll certainly look better too... as you steadily increase your body's ability to build muscle size, strength, personal power, and confidence.

"There's nothing more refreshing, and important, than a tall glass of water first thing in the morning."The next morning, just like I do every day, I wake up at 5:15 a.m. Without hesitation, before getting dressed, I head for the kitchen and pour a large glass of water. There's nothing more refreshing, and important, than a tall glass of water first thing in the morning. Especially considering your body hasn't had any food or liquids for about seven to eight hours. Typically, most people would make a cup of coffee at this point-to help them "get going." But I don't feel this way. I think coffee actually robs your body of energy, instead of really giving it to you. As you know, when you drink coffee, the increase in energy only lasts about an hour, until it wears off, leaving you feeling worse than you did before. This is called the "crash." I hate the way this makes me feel.
That's why I helped create and use a supplement, instead, called Energize. We developed this all-natural supplement with Dr. Mark Tallon. He is a very bright person, earning his Ph.D. in biochemistry. He even works with Olympic athletes as a nutrition consultant. Plus, he's an IronMan triathlete himself. To say this guy is brilliant, and in great shape, is an understatement.
He formulated Energize to work with your body's natural ability to produce safe, long-lasting energy. And it works especially well, either in the morning to really perk you up, or during the middle of the day to avoid the fatal midday "crash" after lunch. I absolutely love using it before I weight train. I find it clears my mind and cranks up my workout intensity. This is helpful when you train, like I do, at 6:00 in the morning!
I take two time-released tablets of Energize with my water (on an empty stomach). I head back upstairs to my bedroom, get dressed... kiss my wife and kids goodbye (while they're still sleeping), grab my gym bag, and head off to the gym.
I usually arrive at the gym a few minutes before 6:00 and, after getting my iPod headphones on with my favorite music, I'm ready to start training by 6:00 a.m. sharp. Today I am going to work out my chest, shoulders, biceps, and triceps. (See The Exercises section by clicking here for a detailed explanation and demonstration photos for all of the exercises I do.)
Today's weight-training workout should take no longer than my scheduled goal of 45 minutes. While it's not my goal to always finish under my scheduled time, it is important to stay within it by a couple of minutes. After my workout, I sit down on a bench and take a couple of minutes to record my final actual reps and then run a quick glance over my goal to actual planned weights and reps for each exercise. Today everything was pretty close.
Remember, when you do your workouts, you might use less or more weight than I do. That doesn't really matter. What matters most is that you keep a constant record of the actual weights and reps you did, and pay close attention to the time you rest between sets. This way, you're sure to keep your intensity levels up and make the most of your time spent in the gym. I also use this time to jot down a few notes about the workout.

Build A Better Body - Part 3
Once I've planned my Weight-Training journal sheet, I move onto my
nutrition plan. From the first to the last meal, including the
supplements I'll take and how much water I plan to drink. I don't like
to leave anything to chance, and as a result, I usually stay right on
course each day. I've found the closer you follow your plan, the faster
you reach your goals. There are really no two ways about it. I've also
provided blank Daily Meal Plan Sheets here, so you can print out copies
and use them to plan and write out your meals each day.
If you read through the Maximum Growth Program, you'll notice my total calories are somewhat higher than the examples I've provided in The Meals section. That's because I weigh around 220 lbs and the examples I've provided are for a 175-lb person. You might weigh more or less than this, so you'll need to calculate your daily calorie and protein needs for your desired weight. Once you do that, it's pretty easy to plan your meals.
Or, you can simply look at the daily sample meal plans we've provided for you. From there, you can pick and choose which meals most closely match your likenesses for particular foods and then adjust the portion sizes to meet your calorie and protein needs. If you have trouble figuring out how to do this, I encourage you to give us a call (anytime), and one of our friendly, qualified fitness experts will be glad to help you out. We can be reached from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (MST). If we don't answer your call, please leave a message, and we'll call you back right away. Our number is 1-866-688-7679.
Now that I've written out the meals I plan to eat the following day, I'm about 50% done with my planning. Next I prepare the meals I am going to eat. Since tomorrow is going to be a busy day for me (and I have a luncheon meeting), I plan on eating two whole-food meals and three nutrition shakes... so I'll need to make the meals in advance. After preparing my tuna pita sandwich and putting my cooked brown rice in a Tupperware bowl, I grab the rest of my fruits, bottled water, and supplements and put them in my shoulder bag to take to work with me the next day. I always double-check my supplement case to make sure I've got enough supplements to last me the entire week. (If you don't have a supplement case, I'd encourage you to get one. They are pretty inexpensive and very convenient to use. You can buy a pocket case online at WebVitamins.com.)
Because I usually train in the mornings, I keep most of my breakfast foods, like oatmeal and condiments like Splenda (Registered trademark) sweetener, at the office since that's where I eat after my morning workout. I also keep a spare container of Eat-Smart (my favorite meal replacement shake) at the office too, so I don't need to lug it back and forth-from home to work and from work back to home. That can be annoying.
Join me tomorrow for the final part

Build A Better Body - Part 2
Are you ready? Great. Let's get started.
First, I can't understate the importance of planning.
Before I even consider anything else, I always, always make sure I have my entire day planned in advance. For me, there could be nothing more integral to my success. In fact, whenever I don't plan my days, I notice that everything feels "out of control" the next day. And it is. (Maybe this has happened to you?) That's why I always take about 15 to 20 minutes each night, before I go to bed, and plan out my next day's workout, prepare my meals, write my most important "To-Dos," and as corny as it sounds, pick out my clothes to wear. I can't tell you how much time the next day this nightly ritual saves me. I'd bet over ten times.
"...whenever I don't plan my days, I notice that everything feels "out of control" the next day."
If you're already good at planning, then you'll certainly agree. If not, then I'd encourage you to start tomorrow and adopt this results-producing, fantastic habit. Remember, the only thing that separates those who are successful from those who are not are habits. It's easy to see those who follow good habits are much more likely to be successful, and those who follow haphazard, free-spirited habits, are usually less successful. You get the point.
So now let's take a closer look at exactly how I apply these techniques and tools to my new, improved Maximum Growth Program (which, by the way... has been completely updated and revised with a full 8-week Program, new diet plans, weight-training routines, and even a section which provides explanations and pictures of each exercise. It is at the printers right now, and I plan to produce only 1,000 to start. So, if you'd like to reserve your copy today, so you don't get left behind, please call us at 1-866-688-7679 and tell whoever answers that you are a regular reader of Real SOLUTIONS and you want to reserve your copy of Volume 2 of Maximum Growth.
Like I said, there will only be 1,000 copies printed, and since they are free-all we ask is a measly $5 to pay for postage and handling-I expect these will go quickly. Don't get left behind. Call us now. The number is 1-866-688-7679. Even the call is free! Or, click here and fill out your information online: Maximum Growth).
Luckily, a great deal of the planning "work" has already been done in my new book. We've laid out the days you should work out. Pointed out exactly which body parts to train. We've even planned the exact number of sets, reps, and time to rest for each workout. On top of that, we included seven full sample meals-from breakfast, to pre-and post-workout, to nighttime meals-so you can easily put together your daily eating plan.
Believe me, when you look at how much of the guesswork we've taken out of building muscle and gaining strength with the Maximum Growth Program, you'll realize it doesn't get much better than this. In fact, if someone had offered me a Program like this one when I first started out, I would have paid a couple of hundred dollars for it, easily.
(To me, it seems no one wants to really help you like this any longer... they just want you to buy their supplement, shake your hand, say "good luck," and send you on you way. I don't agree with this approach. I feel it's much more important to provide a plan, a path, and every bit of assistance I can to help you reach your goals. I honestly really care about people).
Anyway, let's get back to how I put everything together as I follow the Maximum Growth Program to build my best body:

Building a Better Body - Part 1
Interestingly, when I made the comment that it's easy for me [to get in
shape], Shaun jumped into the conversation and emphatically stated...
"It's not easy. No way. It's simple!"
And you know what? He was right.
It's not easy to get into shape. To eat better. To train harder. To set a plan in place. Rather, it's simple. It's simple to make such small changes in your lifestyle. And as a result, create such incredibly satisfying and rewarding changes in your physique.
I told Shaun he was right. Building a better body and getting into tiptop shape isn't easy.
What I got from our conversation was a little perspective on this subject. That is, whenever I decide I am going to get into better shape, it is easy for me because I know what to do. That's the difference.
See, most people, when they make the decision to get into their best shape (whether it's their first time or a second, third, or forth time trying), simply don't know what to do. For that reason, for them, it's not easy.
"It's simple to make such small changes in your lifestyle. And as a result, create such incredibly satisfying and rewarding changes in your physique."As Shaun and I talked more, we found there were many other things we had in common.
One of which was that we both agreed that most people tend to make this topic more complicated than it needs to be. And if people really knew how simple the changes they need to make to build a better body are, many, many more people would do it.
So, after dinner I promised Shaun I would start by sharing my personal view on building a leaner, healthier, more muscular body in our upcoming newsletter. To help others understand how each lifestyle change works together-along with how simple weight training, diet, and supplements really can be.
Therefore, what I'd like to do is take you through a typical day for me. Using specific examples, I'll guide you through how I follow my own Maximum Growth Program. Basically, I'll show you how, when, and what I eat; which supplements I use; and how I follow the exercise plan.
But before we start, there's something I need to tell you. There are plenty of ways to gain muscle size and strength and build a head-turning body, and in no way am I proclaiming that my way is the only way. (Far too many self-professed "experts" do this already!)
What I can honestly say is these techniques and tools are simply what have worked for me-year after year-and continue to work for countless others. And if you follow them, for at least four weeks, you will absolutely, positively achieve greater gains in strength and size and lose more bodyfat.
Results you can be damn proud of. I promise.

Low Cost Ways To Make Money Online
Many people have realized that they can turn their computer into a money
making machine. There are many ways you can make money with your
computer. This article will show you several low cost ways to make money
on the net.
Sell Products or Services Online
You can set up an online store to sell a wide variety of products. However, it will cost you few thousands dollars to start an e-store. One way to start an online business with minimum capital is deal with drop ship wholesalers. So how drop shipping works?
- A drop ship distributor is a wholesale company that will ship one product directly to your customer.
- You don't need to pay for an item unless it is sold.
- You don't store any inventory.
- You don't package and ship merchandise.
- Your customer pays the retail price for the product to you and you pay the cost of the product to the drop ship distributor. The difference is your profit.
Drop shipping system makes it affordable for anyone to start an online business due to the benefits it offers. EBay is the best place for you to start selling your products with drop shipping system. One strategy you can try is sell the similar items to the one that have attracted several bids in eBay. For instance, say you have opened an account with a cell phone drop ship dealer and ready to sell cell phone on eBay. You found that a Nokia 8810 cell phone have attracted 7 bids, so what you can try to do is list the similar item immediately with lowest price possible. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will make any money with this strategy. There are many more auction selling ideas you can find from the Internet which can help you make a steady income on eBay.
Be a Freelancer
There are many freelance job sites consist of a long list of freelance job contracts. These freelance sites usually offer the following jobs:
1) IT jobs (web-design, Jawa, PHP, script-installation, programming, graphic design and so on)
2) Writing & Editing Jobs
3) Administrative support (Data entry) & accounting services.
You may join several freelance sites for free and start bidding for the projects and contracts that are right for you. You can also make extra money writing articles and essays. There are places and websites where you can sell your articles and essays for a price anywhere between $5 to 25 per article. Furthermore, there are forums and blogs offer to pay anyone who post message and article to their websites.
Be an Affiliate
Affiliate makes money online by selling other people's stuff. An affiliate earns commission whenever someone sent by him/her to his/her merchant's website makes a purchase. Clickbank is one of the best places you can find an affiliate program to join because it is the largest e-book store and contains a ton of merchants looking for people to sell their e-books. The main task of affiliates is promote and advertise their merchants' websites (affiliate links). One method to promote affiliate program is advertise on Google. To advertise on Google you'll first need to open a Google AdWords account. You can start advertise on Google immediately after paying $5 account activation fee. Your cost of advertising is calculated in pay-per-click basis. Meaning Google will only charge you whenever someone clicks your text ad.
Paid Survey
Taking online paid survey at home is an easy way to make money online as you don't need any special skills and knowledge to complete paid survey job. In order to increase the money you can earn, you need to join as many market research and survey companies as possible. However you can't expect how much money you will make monthly because you have no idea when a paid survey invitation will send to your mail box. Thus it is not an ideal way to make a wage but a great way to make some extra income for paying your monthly bills.

Yoga - In Sickness And In Health
If one of your priorities in life is to keep in shape physically and
mentally then yoga is the answer. Yoga is practised by millions of
people and is on the increase daily. How many to be precise is hard to
say but a calculator would struggle to keep up with the figures. This
exercise has become a way of life for many people who can not do without
their intake of this healthy type of regime.
Yoga is a comforting and enjoyable where routines are followed consisting of poses and bodily postures that give the body a healthy look and feel. An additional bonus to yoga is you get to unwind/relax while at the same tending to your body needs.
Without doubt it is known to ease stress and research behind the scenes of yoga discovered that certain illnesses have been calmed for those who practice this exercise. Disorders namely anxiety, blood pressure, back pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and many more have been controlled by a yoga way of life. Other sicknesses that have come under threat of being eased or even abolished are arthritis, chronic fatigue, headaches. People have found it has a strong influence on reducing asthma. It is no wonder why this routine is practised on a regular basis with the positive effects it has on ailing patients. Now that the benefits have finally been recognised it is becoming a phenomenal craze and why wouldnt it when the rewards are greater than that of winning the lottery. No amount of money can buy a content mind - healthy body and soul.
Pleasing experiences generated from yoga is the sense of well being where stress is eased and forgotten while you lapse into a sedate frame of mind.
Reasons why people have chosen to take up yoga are because of how it helps tone muscle/flexibility and strengthens stamina pace. Obese participants understand how beneficial it is helping them to burn off excess fat without the demand tactics like that of a strenuous assault course.
Yoga and concentration are a very compatible twosome, if working hand in hand it helps to improve creativity.
The positive side to yoga is where it gives you control in tending to your body needs naturally instead of turning to medicinal pills (Depending of course of your condition) Yoga is as positive as you can get.
Keeping your body fit is important so a healthy blood circulation is imminent to keep organs and veins functioning properly. Your immune system if stimulated is a force strong enough to fight sickness.
Yoga and how it affects each individual differs greatly but does it matter as long as it leads to a healthier life?
Psychological, mental and physical sicknesses are just a few main factors why people are joining in the fun of yoga and claiming control over their health. Forget any belief you may have that yoga is a religious activity, quite the opposite in fact.
You and yoga a match made in heaven. In a nutshell - in sickness and health

Make Money Online Through Affiliate Programs
Make Money Online As an Affiliate
To make money online you do not need to have a website. You will just need a few good products - affiliates that you promote and are paid for promoting them.
Choose the Best Affiliate Product
You must have heard about commissions that people earn when they sell a product of a specific brand. What we are going to do is similar in context only our product will be Internet based. Digital products are the high value products that generate much higher commissions that any other products. Electronic books or e-books and most Internet software's today are classified as digital products as they can be directly downloaded after purchase. "Commission Junction " and "ClickBank " are some of the websites that offer such services .You get a unique affiliate link that has your reference ID as soon as you sign up for a product that you find interesting. The reference id on the affiliate link will allow the commissions on each sale to be tracked correctly and assigned to you.
Go one step ahead and make your affiliate link look Genuine by buying a Domain name (.com)
Get a domain name to redirect/forward to your affiliate link. You can easily register a domain name at a very cheap price ($7.99). Therefore, when someone types in your .com or domain name in his or her browser, it will go to your affiliate link. The visitor will obviously see the website with the product that you promote, and the commissions will be tracked correctly.
An affiliate link looks very weird eg. affiliatedoman.com/product?refid=mmhaas compared to the domain name which you will be registering. For eg: If you are selling a digital camera photo software like photolightning then your domain name can be something like photosoftwaresale.com etc. A domain name masks the affiliate link look like it's your own website. Therefore you have a website for free :) as well as a product to promote with large commissions to earn.
If you are a good writer then write an article promoting your product and a link at the bottom to your website. Articles are the best ways to spread the word about your product and generate traffic. If you are not a good writer, get an article written from some freelancer. In order to make high commissions from your sales, you need to get traffic to your website and thus the affiliate website.
Repeat this step for other products and you will definitely be earning money in a few months and all this without a website.

How To Gain Muscle Naturally... No Steroids Necessary
Wondering how to gain muscle? There are many fads, gimmicks and "quick
fixes" to be found, but there is really only one healthy way to gain
muscle mass. You don't need to be gifted with great genetics or use
potentially dangerous illegal hormones or steroids.
The "how to gain muscle" question has a relatively simple two-step process:
1) increase your caloric intake, and
2) workout. This combination will provide the desired results.
Don't be embarrassed to look in the mirror! You CAN have the body that you strive to achieve. When you first begin thinking about how to gain muscle, the first instinct may be "But I don't want to gain fat". Losing fat and gaining muscle mass are two different objectives, and are tackled in two different ways. At this point you have to realize that dieting and exercising to lose weight is different than dieting and exercising to gain muscle.
In gaining muscle mass, the caloric intake must be increased. You have to take in more calories that your body is used to: take in more proteins and fats-your body has no choice but to gain weight. While nutritional supplements may be utilized, this should NOT be used as a substitute for a healthy diet. The increased calories are then offset by working out with weights in order to achieve the increased muscle mass you desire. This workout will stimulate growth by "overloading" the muscles. The combination of caloric building blocks (which help rebuild and repair muscle tissue) along with the increase workout.
If you are among the millions who constantly try to gain weight and build muscle mass, remember that a firm commitment, the proper diet, and a good weight-training regimen are the best ways to succeed in reaching your goal. A muscle mass building diet includes plenty of protein and enough calories to promote weight gain.
A good place to start is to multiply your current weight by 18. This number will give you a rough idea of how many calories your body needs in a day to bulk up. If you are extremely active, play sports, or have a faster than average metabolism, you may need to increase your caloric intake even more. A muscle building diet requires a lot of effort on your part. It's not easy to consume enough calories in three meals per day. A good suggestion would be to eat several small meals each day rather than three large ones.
Protein is a critical element in any mass building diet. Ideally, you should eat one and a half grams of protein per pound of body weight. While this seems like a lot of protein, spread over several small meals each day it will be a lot easier to meet this goal. Fish, poultry, eggs, and lean red meat are excellent sources of protein. Lots of fresh vegetables and simple carbohydrates combined with plenty of protein should allow you to meet your calorie quota each day. The best muscle building diet is a combination of consuming adequate calories and the proper types of foods.

Outsourcing Your Weight Loss
Outsourcing your weight loss, now that would be the ultimate time and effort saver. In a world moving to outsourcing, why not outsource weight loss too? All you would need to do is get a group of those “workout loving people.” You know the type. The ones that would be in the gym 6 hours a day if they could.
You would charge a small fee and have the workout lovers do the workout and the clients get all the results. You could have various levels too. The starter level, for people that want to do most of their own workouts, but would like some help on the weekends or busy days.
Then there would be the power level for the working man or woman. At that level, you can outsource up to 5 workouts per week, Monday through Friday. Finally, you could have the ultimate level, where you get 2 people to workout for you, 5 days a week and you can eat anything that you want while you stay fit and trim.
It would be the next craze. Who wouldn’t want to sign up? Just think, the body of your dreams without having to do the work or try to find the time to fit it into your schedule. No more diets. No more denying your cravings, no more unwanted increases in size.
If you want to change your look, just call the 800 toll free number and order the plan that you want. Got a big party this weekend? Just call the number and order up a couple extra workouts to take care of it. Imagine the freedom you would have in your life.
We all know that you can’t have someone else workout for you and you get the results. Unfortunately, the body doesn’t work that way. Oh well, outsourcing your weight loss would have been a great idea.
But, what if I told you that you can still outsource your weight loss? It wouldn’t be directly to other people, but they would play a role. What if I also told you that your outsourcing partner likes to work 24 hours a day?
Are you interested in knowing who this mystery outsourcing partner is? To give you a clue, you are already using him or her and he or she has been performing wonders. Actually, if you didn’t already have this relationship, you would have never made it past your birth. Have you guessed yet?
Your mystery partner is your subconscious mind. It’s successfully regulated your breathing, your heart rate, your body temperature, your immune system and more. Basically, it keeps everything going and performs extremely well considering the magnitude of what it takes care of.
Have you considered that it is also regulating your metabolism, your digestion, and your cravings? Are you starting to see the power your subconscious mind is wielding? Now imagine if you can get it to be your outsourcing partner for your weight loss?
It is the one that tells you when you are hungry, when you are full, what type of foods to crave and how much of it will be deposited as fat. It is working 24 hours a day, and get this, it is open to requests.
Wait a minute! Are you saying that you have the power to control your subconscious mind? Control might be too strong of a word, but you definitely have the ability to influence your subconscious mind and influence it extensively.
It’s YOUR subconscious mind. It was given to you, solely for your purposes. Unfortunately, we are not taught its power or how to effectively influence it. And here is the kicker, it is easily influenced.
So, if you haven’t been directly doing the influencing, who has? Well, if you find yourself overweight, a lot of that influence has come from those that profit greatly from all types of food you eat, the “diet” products you buy, and the health and fitness services you purchase.
Your subconscious mind performs much better then any service you could purchase. Regain control of it and watch the pounds melt away with ease. No more struggle, no more denying yourself, no more unwanted pounds.

You would charge a small fee and have the workout lovers do the workout and the clients get all the results. You could have various levels too. The starter level, for people that want to do most of their own workouts, but would like some help on the weekends or busy days.
Then there would be the power level for the working man or woman. At that level, you can outsource up to 5 workouts per week, Monday through Friday. Finally, you could have the ultimate level, where you get 2 people to workout for you, 5 days a week and you can eat anything that you want while you stay fit and trim.

Some Helpful Tips On Abs
In the fitness world today, there is not a body part with more attention
paid to it than the abdominal muscles. With our obsession with abs,
many aspiring entrepreneurs set out to market their device, diet, video
or program which will give you "washboard abs," a "six-pack," "ripped
abs," or any other adjective to describe a well defined mid section. The
problem is that the public, desperate for a quick fix, buys into these
products, which at the end of the day, will not do much of anything. The
following article provides a few pointers for anyone interested in
learning more about the proper way to work on your abs.
First of all, spot reduction is impossible so no matter how many crunches, sit-ups or bicycle kicks you do, you will not get rid of any excess fat around your mid section. If you need to lose excess belly fat, your best bet is to go on a healthy diet and get the right combination of strength and cardiovascular training to maximize fat loss while increasing your metabolism.
If you already have a relatively flat stomach and are looking to develop your abs, there are a few things you should know. The abs are just like any other muscle in the body and should be trained as such. Like any other muscle, you should not train your abdominals every day and should wait at least 48 hours in between training sessions of that muscle. Also, in order for a muscle to hypertrophy, significant external resistance is needed with a rep range of about 8-15 so if you're able to do hundreds of crunches, you're better off either finding a new exercise or to find a way to add resistance.
In the world of abdominal training, there seem to be thousands of new claims being made every day. The best advice in sifting through everything if that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Can You Really Make Money Online
There are many people from all walks of life searching for ways to make more money, and the internet seems to be full of opportunities. Usually when you start searching for jobs or work at home possibilities, you get bombarded with a lot of hype!
You know the old saying, "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!" Remember that when you start looking for opportunities to help you make money online! If everything were as easy as it seems to be, then we could all quit our full time day jobs and just work online from the comfort of our home! Okay-maybe not, but I have been doing this online working thing for awhile now, and I want to share with you some advice about how to do it the right way!
1. Start Slow!
When you first start out trying to make money online, the internet is going to seem like a huge place with tons of information everywhere. You'll probably feel overwhelmed with an information overload! Don't let that happen. You need to take it a little bit everyday and learn as much as you can bit by bit.
One of the best ways to do this is to keep paper by your computer and take notes. Write down any good websites you find that you may want to refer back to. Print out information that you will need in the future.
Read as much as you can and go back and read it again. You need to really let it soak in, and you need to absorb as much as possible.
Generally, if you allow yourself enough time to do some research before you try to get started, you will arm yourself with a lot of important necessary knowledge.
Of course, most of you will still be working your day job, so maybe try to allow some time in the evenings or on the weekends to do your research.
Also, stay organized! Nothing is worse than sifting through a huge pile of papers looking for a specific site or web address.
If you can go into this venture from a learning perspective, it will make everything easier down the road.
Whenever you are working to make money online, research, learning, studying, and keeping up-to-date are going to be some of the most important things you can do.
Remember that a lot of your competition will probably try to go in blindly, so then you'll be one step ahead.
2. Find Good Products and Test Them.
When you are ready to take the step into making money online, affiliate marketing is one of the simplest ways beginners can make money. Not only can you have the potential to start generating sales, but you will get exposed to a lot of people who know what they are doing, who have already had success, and who are actually willing to help you.
Once you find a good product that you want to try to sell, test the waters.
Place some ads in various areas and keep track of whether or not you're making any sales.
When first starting out, only promote one or two products at a time! It seems like you will do better if you start promoting 100 things at once, but when you have so many campaigns going at the same time, it's easy to lose focus and concentration. You want to be able to put forth your full effort and really see whether or not this product is going to pay off for you. Keep in mind that a lot of products end up not being successful money makers, so if you find that is the case, go back to the drawing board and pick something else.
Don't spend a lot of money until you find a profitable product! Most of us just starting out don't have much extra money to spend on advertising anyway, but keeping costs down is important.
Your ultimate goal is making a profit, right?
3.Get Excited and Don't Give Up!
Start promoting yourself and your products as much as you can.
Many well established and successful sites have opt-in email lists where you can sign up to get their daily or weekly newsletters. Get your email address on all of the ones that look helpful to you or your product. Many times, these emails are full of valuable information, and you're getting it for free! These companies are reputable and are not going to sell or give away your email address, so it's completely safe to go ahead and sign up! This is a continuation of your learning process, as well, because they will send you up to the minute information, and may even introduce you to new products!
The more you can learn, the better! Speaking of email, send out some emails to family members and close friends and let them know about your new online adventure!
No, you don't have to try to sell them anything, but this is an easy way to start getting yourself out there. Please don't spam anyone, though. Just send it out to those people who you know will be accepting of your emails. Also, when you send them out, ask your friends and family to let you know their personal opinions about your products, website, or any other feedback they can give. If you can get some open and honest feedback from those you trust, you can begin to get an idea of how you will be able to relate to the general public.
You're ultimately hoping a lot of these people will be your customers someday!
This whole experience working online can be a lot of fun, but there are definitely going to be some very frustrating days. There may even be some frustrating weeks. Keep going, keep working, keep learning, and stay in the game!
There are no people who succeed in making money online if they give up within the first couple of months! The longer you stick with it, the more chance you have to improve your skills, and eventually you'll get where you want to be.
Keep your perspective, and if you need a break, take one. Sometimes, when you're taking a break, you do your best thinking and get some of your best ideas.
Summary
Hopefully I've provided you with some basic information for getting started making money online.
It really is a learning experience, but at least you can do it from the comfort of your own home! Lots of moms and dads or stay at home caregivers have options for generating online incomes that weren't there even a few years ago.
This market is open to anyone and everyone. Take it step by step, don't jump in head first, and learn, learn, learn!
Here's to your success!

150,000 Killer Content Articles
To have a marketing tool pre-quipped with 980 distinct niches is a dream for any marketer. In this Killer Content Review I am going to cover not only the 980 niches, but also how the mass of content on Killer Content can be filtered and searched.
Socrates Socratous has been the “go too guy” in the Internet marketing industry for 8 years. All the big Gurus know him and have used his products and solutions and you probably have also. You just may not know his name. Socrates and Killer Content are two names you will not soon forget.
The first step in a marketing campaign is to select your niche. The second is to get the content for this niche.
In a pure stroke of genius (in my opinion) Socrates has created a product that categorizes over 150,000 articles into 980 niches, but it does much more than this. He has been working with a team of professional on this project for over 18 months so you know Killer Content not only deliver, it will become another Click Bank #1
Now that you have selected a niche, you can search this mass of articles by keyword.
Select a few hundred articles with your exact keyword, edit them on-screen any way you desire and resave them.
With a click of the mouse your articles will automatically be posted to your blog.
One click to a niche, one click to content and one click to postings. What could be simpler?
I strongly recommend Killer Content and I applaud the effort and vision of Socrates Socratous and his team on the creation of a game changing product like this.
The time to act is now and this is not an understatement. Your competitors are probably using Killer Content right now, so do not get left behind.

How To Lose Weight And Keep Fat Off Forever Without Strict Diet
How many times have you heard a friend say, "I am on a diet"? Then what
happens is your friend would lose some weight for a while before putting
them all back on again.
I'll bet you have also seen someone say that "Cardio is the best for losing weight". This person would then religiously pound the treadmill but results are agonizingly slow. Soon, he gives up and gains back all the weight he had lost, and sometimes even gaining some extra kilos!
Ah, so you thought you've finally found the answer to permanent weight loss. You went on a strict diet and ran your heart out. You dropped kilos real quickly. But somehow, something is wrong when you look into the mirror in your birthday suit. Yes you have lost some weight, but somehow your body shape isn't as flattering as you would like it to be. And then suddenly, you hit a plateau.
No matter how strict your diet and cardio workouts are, your weight just simply refuses to drop any further. Then horrors of horrors, you actually start to gain some weight! You get disillusioned because with the unrewarding program and soon you succumb to 'guilt food' more often, and the weight comes right back up once again. The program fails and you blame it on your bad genes. Why???
Here's why. Firstly, take a good look at the title of this article. It's to "Fend Off Fats" and not "lose weight". My point is, by merely losing weight, you will also lose some muscle mass in the process. By losing muscles, you will lose body tone and thus your metabolism rate for burning calories will slow down. Therefore, you have got to build muscles while losing fats. You may even gain some weight because muscles are heavier than fats.
To lose fats and keep them off permanently, you have to combine healthy eating habits, incorporate cardio exercises and lift weights to build muscles. For every kg of muscles you pack, you will burn an extra 70-100 calories per day even without doing anything. Can you imagine the benefits of building up 5kg of extra muscles? You will be burning 350 to 500 extra calories a day even if you just laze around. You'll be burning a Big Mac everyday! To further illustrate my point, 1 kg = about 7,700 calories, thus if you burn 500 calories a day because of the extra muscles you have, you will be burning off about 1 kg every 2 weeks simply because of your higher metabolism rate!

Words To Inspire the Soul
Words To Inspire the Soul
(This is supposedly a true account recorded in the Police Log of Sarasota, Florida)
An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.
She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs, “I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!”
The four men didn’t wait for a second threat. They got out and ran like mad.
The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver’s seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.
She tried and tried, and then she realized why. It was for the same reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat.
A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down.
She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake.
The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn’t stop laughing.
He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.
No charges were filed.
The moral of the story? If you’re going to have a senior moment… make it memorable.
