"Mobile Shopping, Microblogging and Social Networking Popular"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Recent research by Novarra, which delivers mobile internet
access to two thirds of U.S. mobile phone users and over one
billion globally, indicates that mobile web users are
increasingly using their smartphones for shopping, microblogging
and social networking.
Novarra's recent analysis of mobile shopping in the U.S. and
U.K. on Black Friday (the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving
holiday) and Cybermonday - November 27, 2009 and November 30,
2009 respectively - reveal that traffic to a sampling of
mainstream U.S. retailers increased by 388 percent on Black
Friday and by 160 percent on Cyber Monday.
Meanwhile, Novarra found a 1,068 percent increase in
micro-blogging click-throughs during the first three quarters of
2009 and a 190 percent increase in mobile social networking site
page views.

"How To Achieve Massive Success... With Very Little"
----------------------------------------------------
Want to know how to achieve massive success with very little in
the way of resources e.g. money, time, expertise or other
'prerequisites' for success?
The secret is... leverage.
That's right, even if you have very little money, time,
expertise or other resources you CAN achieve massive success in
your business with leverage.
In fact, leveraging others - other people, other people's money,
other people's expertise, etc - is pretty much WHY 'average'
individuals become successful entrepreneurs.
It's not due to brilliance... it's due to leverage.
Which means that, if you know how to harness leverage, you don't
need much to build your own successful Internet business.
So how do you harness leverage?
Drum roll please... introducing 'Simpleology 201 - The Simple
Science of Leverage' - the brand new online course from
Simpleology.
And guess what? Not only does Simpleology 201 take you through
the steps of harnessing the power of leverage... but you'll be
pleasantly surprised by the price.
What's more, if you download Simpleology 201 before the end of
December 15, you'll get exclusive access to the audio recordings
of Simpleology founder, Mark Joyner, conducting a training
session on the power of leverage.

"MarketersRelief.com Membership Site"
-------------------------------------
By Brad Carroll
I love Daniel McGonagle's MarketersRelief.com. No, it's not the
be-all and end-all of internet marketing. But yes, Marketer's
Relief has exactly what the IM newbie needs in order to start
making money online!
In fact, I would recommend Marketer's Relief over any other
"Newbie Guide" out there (perhaps in conjunction with Dennis
Becker's 5 Bucks a Day (also available in a cheap "Jr." version)
as the ultimate newbie starter kit.
Becker's ebook provides the right mindset and shows you how to
leverage what you know. McGonagle's Marketer'sRelief.com gives
you the skills to leverage, and helps put you in the proper
mindset to boot.
(Most of us honestly do not have the proper mindset when we
start this out; otherwise we'd be a lot further along than we
are. Getting our egos to accept this fact--and do something
about it--pushes us through that membrane that separates failure
from success.)
For example, step one of McGonagle's the 10-step system is to
call the man up on Skye and get coaching! Members are limited to
an hour of voice coaching per week, but recief unlimited email
coaching.
This step also includes a download of McGonagle's 84-page IM
Toolkit pdf, which by itself is probably worth the price of
membership. This book also caontains a link to his 5 Steps to
Success which is essential reading no matter what you want to do
in life.
Step 2 involves reading and watching some pretty hearty
inspirational material. Many people might want to dispense with
this but I highly recommend they go through with it, especially
yhe PDF offered as "part three" of this step. Once the new
member is doen with Step 2, he or she will have an attitude that
can literally change his or her life!
Further steps teach market research, setting up a website,
supporting pages, list building, email marketing, joint
ventures, SEO, and tracking.
There are also sections on article marketing, outsourcing,
copywriting, automated income sites, and some videos on
different kinds of other money making sites. There are also
videos on niche research, keyword research, competition
evaluation, and blog building.
Finally, McGonagle includes a 30 day traffic plan, and two
videos on how to make money developing web presence for offline
clients (something you'll be well-qualified to do once you've
studied all the material in Marketer's Relief).
For some reason, I still haven't taken Mr. McGonagle up on his
coaching offer, so I can't report on that. I'll be doing that
this month however, and will post a comment to this review just
as soon as I'm able.
Even without the coaching, however, this is a website that the
serious newbie can use to propel him- or herself into serious
action.
Some will baulk at the $97 price tag, but honestly I think the
IM newcomer will spend a lot more money in trial-and-error if
they pass up on MarketersRelief.com.
In closing, this site and Dennis Becker's 5 Bucks a Day (full or
"Jr." version)and Daniel McGonagle's MarketersRelief.com should
be all the education any internet marketing newbie needs to get
started. And when is the last time you got a complete education
for under $150 U.S.?

====================== FOOD FOR THOUGHT =======================
"Don't Worry... Or You May Never Get What You Want"
---------------------------------------------------
Worrying is surely one of the worst kinds of negative emotions.
But apart from making you feel downright awful, here's why it's
particularly destructive...
In his audiobook, 'It's Not About The Money' Bob Proctor summed
it up best:
"Worrying is negative goal setting"
That's right, when you are worrying about something, you are
focusing all your mental energies on what you don't want. And,
by definition, you are NOT focusing all your energies on what
you DO want.
Unfortunately, we tend to get what we preoccupy our minds
with... so worrying about something is not just mentally and
emotionally draining, but it can actually prevent us from
thinking about what we can do - and taking the necessary steps -
to get what we DO want...
...with the result that we get the very outcome we DON'T want!
By all means plan for all contingencies, but say NO to worry...

Affiliate Marketing Without Hard Work"

Did you know that affiliate marketing was a 25 billion dollar
pie in 2009?
And did you know all indicators show that it will grow another
13 percent next year despite one of the worst economic climates
ever recorded?
But here is the shocking part: 17 percent of online affiliates
make $20k or more per month while the bottom 46% make next to
nothing...
And the difference isn't one of talent or intelligence, but
rather the right information...
After all, how did these two self-described 'losers' make big
money WITHOUT hard work?
