Here’s my honest answer:

Thanks for the compliment. Honestly, I’m not going to recommend “one thing”. The truth of the matter is – for me and others – success has been a matter of trial and error. In order to improve your situation you have to do three things:
1) Relate 2) Repeat 3) Reframe
Relate = finding a program, a business model, a project, a mentor, or a group that you RELATE to – that makes sense to you – that you likeRepeat = repeating habits that will lead to your success based on whichever program you’re in from aboveReframe = as you have little successes, you begin to reframe your mind from someone who says “I am a marketing loser” to “I kick ass at marketing”.
At first glance, your handwashing site looks like crap. But what I’ve learned is that what a site LOOKS LIKE has nothing to do with how much potential it has to make money. Plus, you say you’re making money wiht it – that’s great. The one direction I would go in if I were you would be to expand upon the success you’re already having. Add more side-niches to the handwashing concept … find other ways to build that out and monetize it more. Try a more professional looking version of it.
You say you want to do affiliate marketing? Okay, that’s great. Go do it. You’re smart enough to have put a site together and get a little success going, you’ll be smart enough to come up with a plan to put into place and try a lot of the tactics that are out there.
The “RELATE” side of the three “R”’s above is really a search. Trial and Error. Allow yourself to try stuff that makes sense and follow it to the letter … but then if it doesn’t work, that doesn’t make you a loser – it just means you found something that didn’t work for you. (And I would apply it to the niche you’re already in, too, btw.)
Hope this helps ya out a bit – I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for – but truly there is no “on size fits all” program for success. You have to find your own way.

Be Sure to Read Below

After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note:

Dear Ms. Davis,  I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This drawing is of me selling a shovel.     Mrs. Harrington

So, like I said, I’ve been jumping in and helping out with my company’s tech support issues lately and it got me to thinking… What if there was a TECH SUPPORT team for “HOW TO HAVE SEX”…

How to Have Sex
(also known as “How to Make Love”)

There are many different positions that you can place your bodies to have sex. We won’t get into the different positions here, only the basics. However, it is important that you have at least two participants in order to actually use this guide.

step 1) find someone of the opposite sex whom is interested in having sex with you … unless you’re gay, then someone of the same sex is fine

step 2) find a nice comfortable place with enough room for you both of you to lay vertically

step 3) take off most of your clothes and start feeling around each other’s bodies … it’s a good idea to know the landscape before just trying to stick things in places they don’t belong

kissing is a good idea, but not neccessary … however it can lead to using your mouth in other parts of the body which can be a good thing

step 4) at some point someone should put a penis in one of the other person’s orafices. Mouth, anus, or vagina (if available) … the ultimate goal being a penis in the vagina in a heterosexual encounter

*note: if the two participants are both female – substituting the tongue or a couple of fingers will do just fine instead of a penis

step 5) once the penis (or penis replacement) is finally inserted in the vagina; you’ll want to slowly push it in there the first time – make sure it’s well lubricated

step 6) now, pull the penis almost all the way out of the vagina and push it back in slowly another couple of times

step 7) with increasing speed, push the penis and pull the penis in and (almost out) of the vagina as many times as you possible can

you’ll notice that this feels very good at first and then after a little while (could be a matter of seconds for some people) it will feel VERY GOOD

keep pushing and pulling until this VERY GOOD feeling overcomes you … and until you eventually have an EVEN BETTER feeling

this EVEN BETTER feeling is called an orgasm

the goal is that both partipants have an orgasm, but if this is your first attempt at sex, it’s possible that only the person who’s penis was being used will have an orgasm

step 8 ) keep pushing and pulling that penis even after you have an orgasm if you can – especially if the other person hasn’t had an orgasm yet

again, the goal is that both of you have an orgasm – but we can not promise this each and every time

step 9) once your penis goes limp, you can stop pushing.
remove your penis, grab a towel, clean up the mess

step 10) lay down, put your hands behind your head, and have a nice bit of sleep
congratulations, you’ve now had sex

A word of caution: please do not contact our tech support department while you are in the middle of any of these steps. It will guarantee failure. Contact us either before or after. Thank you.

That’s my new mantra.

$10,000,000. 10 Million Smackers. 8 Figure Business.

Now, I know my last few blog posts have been about me learning to trade in the foreign exchange currency market (forex) – but my financial goals for 2010 do not include Forex just yet. That’s still in ‘learning’ stage. Oh no — this goal is for building a business. Growing a company.

I’ve never had a goal this big before and as I write this, I realize that it’s been a long time since I’ve run a company that’s generated even 2 Million. Interesting. A million dollars? Sure. I’ve done that many many times over. I actually think that I may have developed some sort of negative mindset when it comes to “creating multi-million dollar businesses”. Definitely worth exploring.

Now, I’m not saying that I’m going to do this all alone. In fact, the company that’s being built has partners already. I’m not even the sole leader. The company has been over a year in the making – and honestly, it could have been a lot less had I not meandered about quite a bit in my business dealings. I’m not motivated in the ways that you might expect.

You see, for me – it’s not really “about the money”.

I’m not one of those people that can set a ‘money goal’ and then do everything in my power to reach that number. I have to do something that I believe in … something that I enjoy … something that matches my ethics … something that truly provides a great value in exchange for the income … something that I’m passionate about … or at least, something that will RESULT in me be able to do something I’m passionate about. (This explains the meandering by the way – this past year I re-explored my passion for the film industry and honestly found that the passion wasn’t nearly as strong as it was 10 years ago.)

My wife and I have recently agreed that if we can accomplish certain financial goals that we’ll take a trip around the world with the kids beginning in the summer of 2011. The are BIG financial goals. Believe that. (But they don’t require 10 Million Dollars either – even after expenses, splitting with partners, and the like.) The truth of the matter is, the company that’s on the table could become a $100M or more company. But, I’m pretty sure I’m not the person to get it there. I think that’s a different type of leader.

Not to mention, balancing family, fun, travel, and business is what I’m really about. I don’t think you can do that and grow a company to $100,000,000 or more. The actual goal for me is to create a recurring income that doesn’t require *me* to work my ass off to generate the income. I actually love the creative process though – which has led me to creating a business model that requires me to constantly CREATE. (new marketing, new products, LOL – new versions of myself even) – and in the end, I’ve created a series of incomes over the last several years… and not what I would consider a BUSINESS.

In 2010, that’s all about to change.

Now, I’m sure I’ll still create the occasional ‘new info product’ (in fact, I have an awesome one in the works for the beginning of 2010) – but at the same time, I’m going to be laser focused on building “Your Instant Site” into a multi-million venture.

Truthfully, the business plan that we have is easily good for between 2 to 5 million – but, “$10M in 2010″ sounded a lot better … and quite frankly, just putting the goal out there will keep us on task for the entire year – pushing towards a big hairy goal.

So, let me real quickly share with you what’s REALLY motivating me right now.

“Around the World with my Family”

I have designed my life in a way that I actually *could* do this right now. I really do work from my laptop; I really do derive all of my income from things I sell on the internet. However, if I’m going to take a trip around the world with my family – I can’t be worrying about where the next six figure launch is going to come from. I can’t be worrying about what sort of product to create. I need to have a relatively stable income in place while still being able to do my part via internet.

Plus, the business plan itself kicks ass. Through YIS, we’ll be creating similar opportunities for hundreds and perhaps thousands of people. An opportunity for people to earn a great income with total time and location flexibility. It’s very difficult for me to create a business opportunity that I can truly stand behind. I’ve become quite jaded — there’s a lot of bullshit out there that either doesn’t work – or if it does work, it’s not scalable to the thousands of people they sell it to.

Wow – I didn’t actually intend this post to be about YIS at all. But when I talk about what’s motivating me, it just came out naturally because I’m genuinely excited about the opportunity. More on that in a future post, I’m sure (oh, yes, I’m SURE!).

As for me — IT’S ABOUT TIME that I had a goal on the table like this again.

It’s about time.

How about you?

Usually I have to ethically bribe people to write a good comment on this site. I’m not going to do that right now (I’m not saying that I won’t at a later time – heh heh).

What motivates you?

What kind of goals do you have in mind for 2010?

I’ll be honest with ya – 2009 didn’t really turn out anywhere near how I’d hoped. It was a rough year for a lot of people. Feel free to share anything you want about 2009 as well.

What makes you tick?

What are you passionate enough about to set a goal so big that you have no idea how you’ll accomplish it?

I’d really like to hear from ya.

Asking Martin Cole for a little advice re: the above trade. He usually doesn’t answer here on my blog – but on his own blog which you can reach at the above link.

67 Pips from my 2nd attempt to trade with PAT Software. (I coulda got over 90 if I didn’t have such an itchy trigger finger – you’ll see what I mean in the video.) If you’re interested in Forex trading, I highly recommend LearningToTrade.com (and if you click on the link to the left, it will even give me credit for referring you).

Let me know what ya think – or if you’ve got any questions

Harris

I’m beginning to learn to trade Forex. I’ve found an incredible mentor named Martin Cole and I highly recommend him.

Hope y’all don’t mind – I’m going to put a forex chart up here from his software (it’s called PAT software). If you’re interested, click on Martin’s name or PAT software. Disclosure: Yes, it’s an affiliate link. However, I would never recommend anything I don’t believe in — especially when it comes to something as sensitive and risky as trading or investing.

My guess is you won’t know what the heck I’m talking about in this chart. That’s okay – you can learn a bunch more by going to Martin’s Site. He has a bunch of free info and a great course that I’ve already been through. Highly recommend him (I have done some deep research on this — the robots, the signals, the systems — they’re all bullsh*t. I’ll tell you why later.)

Much more to come later. Let me know if you’re interested by commenting, okay?

First let me get this huge disclaimer out of the way.

Nothing you will read is endorsed by Oprah Winfrey,
the Oprah Winfrey Show,  Harpo Studios or any entity
remotely related. Not the YourInstantSite service,
not this site, not this story, not me, and not my wife.

How a Total Internet Newbie Turned a Simple Passion Into
An Incredible Oprah Opportunity in Less Than 5 Months…

Here’s how it happened…

A site that we set up “instantly” directly resulted in my wife getting on The Oprah Winfrey Show. True story.

I’m not talking about one of those B.S. sites that people hand out to promote ‘their’ product or anything like that.

I’m not talking about the “business in a box” templates people pass around either.

And I’m not talking about any sort of Private Label Resell Rights (PLR) site that converts for crap because whomever created it spent less time on the sales letter than they did creating the name of the product.

As great as that all sounds – someone handing you a beautiful template and you making lots of money with it – that just doesn’t exist.

And if you really think you’re going to make tons of money with something like that, then you’re absolutely insane.

No no. The idea behind “Your Instant Site” is NOT that we’re giving you some sort of “magic black box” web site that spits money at you. I mean, please, think logically about this for a second…

Now, really… If I could instantly create sites that would make me tons of money over and over again with no additional effort on my part, why in heck would I tell you about it? Seriously. Why would anyone tell you about it? I mean, if you had a magic button that pumped money out every time you clicked it, would YOU give it to anyone? Of course you wouldn’t.

Unfortunately, there is no magic button.

A “magic black box that spits out money” has never existed and never will, yet people have always been selling it and will continue to into the future.

Why?

Because, sadly, that’s the story that sells. People want so badly to believe the magic box exists, when someone tells them that it’s there, they simply must have it. And then they spend the rest of their lives buying the same story over and over again because they’re convinced that the story is true – but somehow that magic box just didn’t work.

But, at the end of the day, the magic box sellers are really just telling us (and selling us) what we want to hear.

So what is “Your Instant Site?”

It’s easy.

The moment after you join, you’re instantly given the foundations to build your business on:

1. A search engine loving Instant Site
2. Easy-To-Use Software that Attracts Visitors
3. Beginner Business & Traffic Training

But before I get into the details of what YourInstantSite.com offers, I want to take a few minutes to share with you the story of how the instant site I’m about to give you, got my wife, Andrea, on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

That’s my wife, Andrea, on The Oprah Winfrey Show!

It’s pretty unbelievable to think about isn’t it?

A site that literally was set up in a matter of seconds, somehow managed to get my wife on the most powerful publication for her market (or almost any market) … In less than 5 months.

Now let me clarify something here.

She wasn’t “trying” to get on the Oprah Show. It’s not like she was deliberately going after it – and to be completely honest – until we got the email from a producer there, the thought never even crossed our minds. That’s part of what makes it all so unbelievable.

But you can’t even imagine what that has done to her self-esteem, and most importantly her BUSINESS.

• She’s being invited to celebrity parties & networking events.
• People are constantly sending her products that they want reviewed.
• And she’s even looking to work out her first big advertising deal with a well established brand.

You have to know something about my wife first though…

1. First get a good network of followers going.
2. Build relationships with your network.
3. Get your followers to click on your links & tell others about you by retweeting your messages
4. Make Money with Twitter.

In previous posts, I’ve shared with you simple ways to do steps 1 through 3. In the last post I even added a dimension to step #3 which showed you how to put all that retweeting on HYPERDRIVE by providing things of value to your growing list of followers. But by now, you must be thinking that something is missing. Especially if you’re in business you may, at this point, be wondering if this is just a lot of wheel spinning and wasting your time talking to people.

You’re asking “But, Harris, HOW do I make money?”

Which of course brings me to today’s post. If you take the actions that I’ve been telling you about throughout this process you’ll certainly create a growing list of followers… most likely into the thousands and beyond but up till now we haven’t talked about how to tie it all together and start making some money with this newfound connectedness.

Here’s the thing. You CAN make money using Twitter and you WILL. But it’s got to be a carefully planned process because you can easily ruin your entire pot of soup you’ve been so lovingly stirring and adding ingredients to all this time. If you just start throwing tons of pepper into the pot now, you’ll just ruin all your efforts.

So, let’s unwrap this a bit. What is Twitter?

Twitter is really a free-for-all, information gathering, networking, and socializing all going on at the same time, real time, all the time. It’s kind of like being in the middle of a crowded street in New York at rush hour.

People are streaming in all directions with a phone in one ear, a blackberry in their hand AND trying to hail a cab with the other. It’s HARD to get and keep people’s attention, and if you smack them in the head with a bowl of soup from your cart when they’re not looking they’re going to disengage… just like that. Poof. Relationship damaged. Do it a couple more times and Kablooey. Relationship vanished.

Not only that, they’ll probably be pissed you spilled soup on them.

There’s a couple things to consider here, but the main idea is NOT to try and make money ON Twitter directly. It doesn’t really work. Nothing will get people to unfollow you faster. What you want to do is have a ratio of no more than 5-10% of your tweets even trying to promote anything (whether it’s your product or a product you’re promoting as an affiliate.

What we’ve been doing over the past couple of posts is gently stirring that pot of soup. Building relationships, getting people to click, getting people to retweet. Letting those aromas fill the kitchen and start making your followers hungry for more. You’ve got them retweeting your messages, clicking your links and now you’re going to want to entice them even more by dropping a few breadcrumbs that lead them to your steaming bowl of luscious soup.

The key is to start interspersing all this great value with things of your own. Links that lead your hungry followers to even MORE good value and FREE content that you provide, luring them off of Twitter and onto your own site. If you don’t have you own site yet, there are certainly plenty of affiliate products you can promote. But I still don’t recommend sending people straight to a sales page. You have to lull your followers away from the noisy street and into your tasty cafe. The content can be many things: teleseminars, webinars even a live Ustream show… the possibilities are truly endless as long as you think “VALUE FIRST“.

Once you get their attention directed at you and you alone THEN it’s time to show them your real wares and convince them to buy your soup, so to speak. You can even give them a taste of your soup to really get them hooked before asking them to buy the entire bowl. By that time they’re hungry and they’re not distracted by all the noise going on around them.

So, that’s the big Twitter secret. To make money on Twitter, you have to get people AWAY from Twitter!

There’s plenty more *soup* for you when you join Coup De Twitter! Members are given an pre-installed “Base of Operations” site that act as an easy place for you to place these ‘things of value’ that I’m referencing above. You’ll also get 7 easy tactics for making money on Twitter and even more advanced tactics like the ones I’ve mentioned in this post. All shown in simple step-by-step videos that walk you through the entire process. Go ahead and check out the FREE VIDEO for more information right now.
