Hi Folks!
What is coming out to be a behavioral pattern on my part, I sleep late and still get up early with only the occasional yawn and eye-rubbing rituals. I clean up, struggle into my clothes, made sure my socks are matched, and head out the door.
It was 6:00am and I have to rush. I started my trusty Year 2000 Toyota Unser van outfitted with a self-made water-fuel HHO booster (tech plug!!), and I was off. Despite my sleepiness, I was excited.
The early-morning webinar sessions are back after a brief hiatus! I say it’s about time! 
Alex was bringing in an expert to talk about video marketing, and he brought in the Queen of them all: The Video Marketing Queen: Maria Andros.
Who Is Maria Andros?
Well, I knew about Maria when Alex mentioned her when he was giving a webinar that involved Twitter. He mentioned before that in Twitter, you can actually find the biggest guns in IM history just interacting with everybody. And boy, that lady is quite active in there!
If you want to check her out, her Twitter handle’s mariaandros.
Let’s talk about her stats. Her life-on-the-web stats (Behave!):
- used to be a makeup artist for 10 yrs
- started an ebay business
- made $80,000 USD in 12 months part time
- found a niche
- got involved in video marketing May 2007
- started with no list
- started with no expensive google adsense pay-per-click (PPC) brouhaha
- in the first 2 months of video marketing made $12,987 USD!
- started with just homemade amateur videos
- now makes a 6-figure yearly income AND without using expensive advertising
- so far her videos have been viewed by up to half a million surfers already
Her rise to the top has been phenomenal. If I had half a brain, I’d take every opportunity to learn from her!
From the way I hear her during the webinar, she knows her stuff and speaks about video the way one would talk about his life’s work.
What I Learned During the Webinar
The webinar was a short 2.5 hours, but it left me with a lot information to digest!
One thing’s for sure: I’m gonna throw myself into Youtube!
Don’t get me wrong. Video is absolutely new territory for me. And after publishing my goals for the next 365 days in my previous post, I’m going to make an adjustment and include video into my online marketing repertoire! Maria and Alex simply convinced me it is so crucial to my marketing campaign!
Video marketing is a part of internet marketing that you simply cannot ignore. Any IM worth his salt IS on video. Name any guru off the top of your head: Mike Filsaime, Michael Cheney, Jason James, and they have used video to devastating effect.
I remember the time before I signed up with Alex’s Coaching Program. I watched his video presentation for a week because I wanted to fully understand him. I was qualifying him to see if he was worth the money I’m going to pay for his experience.
I was hooked.
If you wish to find out more about Alex Jeffreys’ List Building System, we have a FREE REPORT you can read to find out more how Alex helped me build a massive list in days!
To say the least, his video presentation was superb, but it was his MESSAGE that impressed me the most.
I want that to have that effect too on my blog, by golly!
Here’s why you have to do video:
- gives you an advantage over competitors
- can be viewed as an expert because as kids we were taught that people on tv is someone
- builds a highly responsive warm list
- video converts up to 600% higher than text alone because 90% of all communication is non-verbal
- appeals to all the senses
It’s going to be fun!
Video marketing is just the tip of the iceberg.
All the Best!
Regards,
Erwin Chua

A tiny jewel set in the blue seas of the South Pacific, Norfolk Island is only 8 km (5 mi) long, and 1,600 km (994 mi) northeast of Sydney, Australia.
It is the biggest of a cluster of three islands on the Norfolk Ridge, fringed by coral reefs and crowned by pristine rainforest and some of the world’s tallest tree ferns.
On 10 October 1774, James Cook first landed on this beautiful little island and named it in honour of the then Duchess of Norfolk.
Convicts started to arrive 14 years later and over time it gained quite a harsh reputation, becoming known as ‘hell in the Pacific’.
Then in 1856, descendants of the Bounty mutineers with their Tahitian wives and children sailed for five weeks from Pitcairn Island to settle on Norfolk Island. These new settlers brought with them a unique culture and language, and many held mutineers’ names such as Adams, Buffett, Christian and McCoy. From that day, Norfolk Island began its steady climb out of hell and into heaven.
Once sustained by agriculture and fishing, tourists now keep the island alive. But traditional culture remains deep rooted with dancing, singing and a unique cuisine. Banana dumplings, fried fish and Hihi pie, concocted with periwinkles, can be sampled at one of the fine restaurants scattered across the island.
The blue waters around Norfolk Island are teeming with fish, and there are countless fishing charters and scuba-diving trips out to the reef to explore this kaleidoscope underwater world. In the sheltered waters of Emily Bay, you can also indulge in some lazy swimming and snorkelling, and endless relaxation.
Norfolk Island is favoured by well-heeled Australians and New Zealanders, and a few millionaires have migrated to this tax-free haven. There are over 70 low-tax shops and many eager customers. Yet the island seems to balance the old and the new perfectly honouring its Pitcairn people, its rich environment and its visitors.

My only buddy David Lewis, was twenty one when his father passed and left him over 2 million in his estate. Now Dave had always been different from some of us. We would bring twenty dollars and get together and find the quickest way to blow it. Not Dave, he would get his cash, how much ever it was, and half would go in his bank, and the other half he would throw in towards what ever we were headed to do. His Dad was that breed, and his kin were the richest family I knew personally.
So Dave took his money and bought the electric space heaters company. Now that was 1979. By about 1991 or so, that same corporation was worth about ten times what he invested for it. His electric space heater investment had payed off, and payed off large. We stayed in touch over the years and he got married to Sharon, had five kids, including Michael, who was a real clever boy.
By now, 2016, Micheal was pretty much running things at the Burnsright electric space heater corporation, and they were doing very good. The country had just barely started to rebuild from the second great depression of 2009. Dave and I were spending a lot of time together presently, and since George had been killed, George was another one of our good lifetime friends, our families had been seeing a lot of each other.
George and his wife had lost there lives in a vehicle accident just a few days ago, and it had done wonders to gather the old friends back together. We would sit around the portable electric fan heater and talk about the old times and catch up on the years past, and as I saw it this was what breathing was about.

Working out with a Dallas personal trainer is the best choice I have ever made.

I was so excited when I actually started getting results from Lady Trainers To Go. Now this, is something that works!

My trainer is the most wonderful person on this earth—I’m telling you, she has the greatest personality. She really knows her stuff. Her teaching has taught me about so many things I never would’ve thought of. Each time we meet for a session I never know what to expect. Each session is filled with variety, which keeps me very interested in pursuing my fitness goals.
My personal trainer in Dallas has also learned what motivates me. More importantly, she knows how to get me sweating! I am constantly finding myself being challenged and I love every minute of it! Lady Trainers To Go is the best thing ever and if you are hesitating about it, it really is the way to go. If you’ve ever wanted to make a wise investment, this is the way to do it.

If you are anything like me, a trip to the beach or a swim in a pool has meant covering up virtually from head to toe with long shorts and a tee shirt. Not because I’m ashamed of my curves but simple because the range of swimwear offered in traditional plus size stores is usually anything but flattering or fashionable.
Well let me tell you girls, if you are looking for stylish, up to date plus size swimwear at an affordable price the answer is to go online. The number of websites catering for women looking for plus size swimwear is simple amazing and the range that they carry is far more extensive than what can be found at your local shopping mall.
No longer do you have to settle for the shorts and tee shirt cover up or wearing daggy out of style swimwear simple because it was all you could find. The manufacturers that use the internet to advertise their wares have realised that not every woman is or wants to be a stick figure and are proud of their curves and have tailored a great range of swimwear to suit.
It seems like many women are cautious about buying online and justifiably so, but with the majority of sites offering generous return and refund policies, universal sizing charts and some sites even go to the trouble of offering a consulting service, either through toll free phone numbers, email or live chat to ensure that what you are looking at purchasing is the right swimsuit for you and you’re body type.
Do yourself a favor this summer and go online and check out the great range available of plus size swimwear, I’m sure you will be pleasantly surprised!

Are you seeking a remedy to wipe out your financial problems? There is hope! Finding inexpensive bankruptcy lawyers close to your location is easier than you think. There are many online resources that you can search to get the best bankruptcy lawyer that is within your budget. Here is one such resource that’s free to use.
National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA) located in nacba[dot]org
This is a national organization committed to serving the needs of consumer bankruptcy attorneys and protecting the legal rights of consumer debtors in bankruptcy. When you visit the home page of NACBA, click the “Find attorneys near you!” banner located at the right sidebar. After the search page loads, key in your hometown or city and state in the search field. You must choose one item under the “Location (within)” label, for example 20 miles. Click the “Search” button. It should give you a location map with markers and a list of lawyers and law firms that are inside the coverage area that you selected. If the list is too many, you can trim the results by selecting a smaller coverage area under the “Location (within)” label, for example 10 miles.
There is a Quicker Method of Doing This
Let us assume for a minute you were able to find 10-20 prospects using the above resource. You then call each one on your list. Assuming you can explain your debt troubles to one lawyer in half hour, it will take you 300 minutes or five hours for 10 lawyers and ten hours if you have 20 on your list! Try to imagine yourself babbling out for ten straight hours.
Don’t you think it is too tiresome to do it that way? What if I tell you there is an easier way? The TRUE SECRET in getting hold of cheap bankruptcy lawyers is to use lawyer networks. Wherein you use a single online form and your case is forwarded to every member on the network. Members who are interested to handle your case will reply to you or even call you.

Visit this link to learn how to find affordable bankruptcy lawyers using online professional bankruptcy networks that handle non-business bankruptcy cases. Find the form and fill it out. That’s it… just wait for them to call you. The best part here is that you have NO OBLIGATION to hire for getting a f.r.e.e case evaluation.

Donate property to charity. Might be a good idea –especially when fair market value is much more than what you could get for your property — if you sold right now. Times like these are no fun. We’re in a buyers market. People are not going to come to you for your property. It’ll be tough to turn the property into a rental as well. Likely, it’ll remain this way for a couple years.
Donating property to Charities are a standard solution for this kind of conundrum –especially when we’re talking about commercial property. The market can change very quickly. One month your inventory is moving as fast as you can get it out the door. You hardly have time for a cat nap. The next month you have land, a house and some used equipment that are standing around idle generating no value. You sit and you sit. Donating real estate to charities is one answer.
Perhaps you have too much land and not enough tax write offs. The state will look on the sale of your property to a non profit as a charitable donation and give you a deduction on your taxes.
Plenty of charities are worthy. Education is a perennial favorite. There are, after all, great colleges out there like Hillsborough College. There are organizations that build homes for the poor like Habitat for Humanity. There are Cancer Treatment Centers that test out new cancer treatments for the benefit of all humanity You can also give to Animal rights groups like Peta that protest against harvesting fur from animals.
There are 5013C’s that will address your needs. The will convert your noncash contribution by way of an appraised value into a number that the IRS will treat as a charitable gift. You can specify the institution you wish your gift to benefit. These non profits then quickly move your property.
There are a number of 5013c’s that will do the job. However, MatchingDonors is rapidly becoming the premier organization for facilitating these kinds of transactions. They have many benefits. They can move property quickly in all 50 states. That includes Alaska and Hawaii. They will give you the option to donate to the charity of your choice. They will appraise your property at Fair Market Value. (In today’s market that can be considerably more than current market value.) They do move quickly. Property turn around is usually less than a month.

It is mandatory for nurses to wear nursing uniforms when working in a hospital. When visiting a hospital in the old days we could recognise the nurses in bright white uniform scrubs.

Prior to the Seventies, the vacation destination known as Cancun was out in the country. It all started when the government decided it needed to draw more international vacation activity to a nice beachfront town on the Caribbean. In the beginning it was necessary to advertise the place with super travel deals in order to entice vacationers to the city.
It has been less than 40 years and the hotel development has been amazing along a waterfront strip known as the Hotel Zone. You would never recognize the place now, with a major downtown area, modern shopping districts and high-end restaurants. This is a good time to look for Cancun travel deals because the slow economy requires the hotels to be very competitive.
Do be aware that the Yucatan Peninsula can be rather humid, with high heat in the summertime. Next time I go, I’ll look hard at planning the trip for the months between late Fall and Spring.
Speaking of traveling, one creative gift idea for family or friends who are celebrating a special occasion is to give them travel gift vouchers. You can give a voucher, or gift card, that will pay for rental car, various airlines and hotel chains and, if you give a voucher for Travelocity, they have even more flexibility in how they use the card.
We’ve observed that travel gift vouchers are less common in the U.S. than in European countries. You must be careful to buy a gift card that is useful and flexible, so they are not for everybody.
