Minor Sponsorships for Major Returns
Sponsorship certainly conjures up an image of enormous market reach but at a mighty high price. Some of the biggest events in the world reach a market of many, many millions of people. But that's at a level where only major players are able to participate.If you are looking for effective sponsorship at a price you can afford to pay, there are numerous opportunities. For instance, take a music store selling CDs and DVDs. With so much music pirating and free downloading available from the internet, it's not so easy to compete. But there are many music stores and chains around the world competing in this market and winning.Recently, I came across a small music store who are sponsoring their local church choir of some 50 members with a unique promotion.When a member of the choir completes 2 years of continuous service they are rewarded with a free CD on their birthday, courtesy of the music store. The choirmaster presents the gift at the weekly rehearsal during the week of the member's birthday and the choir sing Happy Birthday.The disc is wrapped in colored paper and enclosed is a Business Card from the store with an appropriate Birthday message. Great gesture. Not only does the choir member feel important and cherish the moment, but a potential customer is made for that store.It is often the case that a small, personalized sponsorship can be far more effective than a mass market approach. Some sponsorship ads on televison appear so frequently they can be counter-productive and do damage to the product or service by annoying the viewer.Minor sponsorships can bring in major returns if you choose your market carefully and offer a deal that benefits both the potential customer and yo

and that our vote counts. Our last two elections in the country feel more like third world elections we grew up making fun of, more than ever before. Most of my friends believe that those who got to be in charge of America for a time, and who have caused far more problems in our world than they have ever solved, are not really those the American people meant to elect. Someone once said you won't ever be a mature person in our country until you realize that Presidents are not elected, they are selected. I hope that is not true, but sure seems so at this point. I just wanted you to know that we know that too. I see more and more signs that say "he's not my President" where once you'd get your car rammed for having that on the bumper. You still can where I live, but less and less likely as Bible prophecy does not unfold with the appropriate ending and the Christian fundamentalists end up with a big sanitation problem, which I am sure they will tell others to clean up, and no Kingdom of God on earth for them. We have a saying around here here..."God, save me from your followers," that seems pretty true. I just wanted you to know we have that perspective when we see

How to Generate Automatic Residual Income Today
Affiliate programs are a great way to earn extra income. For those that aren’t familiar with them, they are a commission based sales system where the affiliate gets a commission for every sale that they make. For Instance if you are promoting an ebook that sells for $50 and the publisher is offering a 50% commission, then for every sale you make you will get $25.The commission rates tend to be quite high for digital products, as there is very little cost to the publisher after the book is written. The delivery is by either a direct digital download or through an email attachment. This means that they can afford to offer a higher commission as a way of getting more affiliates to promote their products. If you promote a paper book, say from Amazon, then the commissions are much lower as they have to pay for it to be made and delivered, as well as all of the ancillary costs that are associated with with real products.One of the best places to find digital products to sell and thus get the high commission is through Clickbank.com. They have around 11,000 products all of which are digital. This means that you have all the simplicity of selling a digital product, i.e. no physical delivery or stock to worry about, combined with a built-in affiliate program that is operated by a third party where all have to do is sign up with your Click bank name and you are automatically paid every time you sell the product, on a biweekly basis.One of the disadvantages with being an affiliate for a single sale product such as an ebook, is that there is often no residual income associated with the sale. A residual income is one where you keep on being paid for the same sale. A good example of this is if you make a sale as

It disturbs me personally when I read in yours or our media that "the Americans" are doing or not doing this or that in Iraq, standing by while Israel does this or that to Palestinians and the Lebanese and are about to do this or that to Syria and perhaps North Korea. You need to understand that most Americans are doing no such things. It is our elected or perhaps fraudulently selected government that is doing this. It is not even all the government but more specifically THIS Administration made up of the Bush family Dynasty, in the form of the President and all those under his immediate control depending on who one thinks controls who in this administration. It is not the American people against the Palestinian, Iraqi, Syrian, Lebanese and other people! It is not the average easy going, live and let live Christian against Islam. We are a live and let live type of people and expect the same from others. I know you don't see that side of us in the actions of our leaders. Neither do we. This current, and soon to pass from the scene, we hope, has lost sight of what a Democracy really is and what constitutes a real American. If we had our way, we'd pass a law that forbid any two people in the same family from ever being allowed to run for President. It would prevent dyanastic rule and allow us to cut short any foolishiness that is more self serving than supportive of American ideals and our over all best interests.

The extreme literalists in Christianity, fundamentalists as we call them too, do not speak for the average Christian. And many Christians do not speak for the average American. They are the God haunted Christians who see every turn of events in the Middle East as a sure sign that Jesus return is just around the corner, again, and we are all going to be forced into unspeakable joy with them at the helm of the Jesus Kingdom on earth...I am being sarcastic, I hope you know! They have leaders who are also God haunted and seem bent on playing a part in CAUSING Bible prophecy to APPEAR to be coming true. They don't know that many so called, "Bible Prophecies" are not prophecies at all, or were written after the fact appearing to be have come true. It's how religious people in the past play fast and loose with scripture to our harm. In our country, we call it a "meme" which is a mind virus that is more of the problem than the solution to our spiritual needs.

Our President says he hears the voice of God, and you need to know that makes the vast majority of us average Americans very nervous when he says that. Our President has a way of speaking that often embarasses us and mannerisms that, while funny, aren't. Most of us don't believe for a minute that he nor his extended family have any understanding of the average American, much less respect. His mom actually felt that the victims of hurricane Katrina were really having quite a good time and much better off having to flee to strange cities and stay in public arenas because they were actually living better there than where they were. We don't hear much from her anymore. Someone once said "he who can convince you of obsurdities, can provoke you to commit autrocities..." Feels a bit like that now and we don't care for it one bit.

Eternal life under Christian fundamentalist control would be the classic definition of Hell where I come from. Our fundamentalists would have to eliminate your fundamentalists in great battles fought in the love of Jesus to get you to see the light. Of course, your fundamentalists would feel compelled to do the same. Perhaps you and I can sit on a hill somewhere and watch them make even more fools of themselves and have a good laugh. The best we can hope for is that each side will eliminate the other side and we the people, the average, the we are all one crowd, can pick up the pieces and clean up in the hope of bringing a tolerance and leaving people alone approach back to life on planet earth.

We the people believe that all of you deserve a safe place to live and work with your families and especially your children getting to grow up as children should be able to. We agonize over the pictures of your losses and the cruelty that you are experiencing at the hands of Israel and our Government. Yes, we support our own young men and women in the armed forces, because they are our kids and we want them home safely. No one raises their kids to be blown to bits or to loose their minds in a war zone that is so frightening, they do terrible things to feel in control of it all until they can get home. We understand they make choices and, as parents, understand that they can have sincere beliefs about what they are doing and for whom, and yet not know they too are and can be being used for the less than noble agendas of those who would never send their own children into harms way.

We're still trying here to figure out who really killed John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, John Jr., if that could be what really happened, Martin Luther King Jr, and a host of others who seem to have gotten under the skin of those who had the power to stop them. We are losing our naive beliefs about how our government works and that our vote counts. Our last two elections in the country feel more like third world elections we grew up making fun of, more than ever before. Most of my friends believe that those who got to be in charge of America for a time, and who have caused far more problems in our world than they have ever solved, are not really those the American people meant to elect.

Your Successful Affiliate Marketing Business - The Foundation
Although most affiliate marketing guides don't promote it, building a solid foundation is imperative for success. If you want to make the most of affiliate marketing, you must PLAN.Most people make the mistake of buying the latest e-book and setting up some campaigns immediately. This means they spend a lot of money, see no returns and then banish the e-book to a dusty part of their hard drive, never to be seen again.To make a success of affiliate marketing you need to follow a simple first step. It doesn't matter whether or not you use an affiliate guide, but you must do something first. What is it?Plan.You must make a business plan.

Go through your product list for each of the markets you have chosen and list benefits of these products-- Make sure you list the benefits the customer will see, not just a list of featur

We even have some rather grave doubts about what really happened in this country on 9-11. We had buildings come all the way down that should never come down. We have a building that came down that few even know about that should never have come down, owned by a man who owned the only other two building that came down that day. Kinda odd to us that know. We even have a tape of this man saying he gave orders to "pull" his third building and darn if it didn't come down like a controlled demolition. No one asked him how he did that and how do you pull a building the same day? We have no idea why the media won't ask this man to explain himself. After all, all three of his buildings came down exactly the same way that day. We're not stupid, but we do live in a climate of a bit more fear of our current government than ever I remember being under. After all, we also have a government that listens to us at will and minds our business for us, again as we used to make fun of others for doing to their citizens. We even have a President who only obeys the laws he likes and signs off on the ones he doesn't wish to be held to. Boy, I tried that once. Didn't go over real good with dad! He's done it over 750 times and his dad never says anything to him it about it. Go figure. We know our President has broken a lot of laws in this country in the name of taking authority to himself that he is not entitled to. We hope to address that issue with him someday. Now we find that even those who investivaged 9-11 are admitting that this current administration was less than forthcoming and actually impeded their investigation when they could. Where I come from, that can only mean one thing...

We don't know why our airforce was so slack on 9-11 either. They snagged a run away Lear Jet a few years ago, out West, in minutes, but couldn't snag a jet liner in our most crowded air corridors of the East in hours. Some feel they were not so slack as uninformed. We have heard that our own Vice President told someone that the order to not shoot anyone down "still stood." Pretty creepy stuff.

And most of us know that a live Osama is better than a dead one when you can't find him, and no one really wanted him dead or alive. But I suspect when the time comes, he'll show up deader than alive. Dead men don't tell tales you know. Oh, and most of us know that there were no WMD's to justify going to war anywhere and we weren't in near as much danger then as we are now. On 9-11 we had a lot of sympathy, but our government, not our people, managed to squander that pretty darn quickly worldwide. Some say the administration needed a "Pearl Harbor" to go to war...but I can hardly think of the implications of that myself. I do know that truth tends to rise to the surface in time and if we ever find out what we merely suspect, you'll see what a true American is and how a genuine Democracy can work in the best of ways. We are that kind of people at the grass roots.

Understand that not all of us by any stretch, think the nation of Israel can do no wrong. They have an agenda, and it's obvious it is by permission of President Bush and Tony Blair. These men can speak up, but won't or when they do, it is weakly until agendas are met. Now Christian fundamentalists in our country think it is God's chosen land, but we know better. Funny how on the one hand our fundamentalists think the Jews killed Jesus, but on the other hand, think God loves that waste howling wilderness more than others and they are the special chosen ones to usher in the Kingdom of God, ala their ideas. Just so you know, the Romans killed Jesus, for sedition, just as they had thousands before him, but the Fundies aren't all that wild about ruling from Rome, where Satan lives. Most of my friends think Satan lives here or at least has a summer home here too.

The world has changed since these people came to "power." We wish they had come to "responsibility" instead of power, but we're stuck with the fruits of their thinking until we decide not to be. The average American knows they have no way of knowing just what is going on, who is pulling what on who and what the agenda really is. I do know that nothing we are being told is really what is and that nothing is as most in high places would lead us to believe. We are not stupid, but we feel powerless at times like you do. We also get amazed as to how so few can cause such misery and deception for the many. It's an enigma wrapped in swiss cheese covered with baloney. We know this, but don't always know what to do about it or who to trust in bringing out sincere change for the good of all not just the few. Right now, we have a government that is a benefit to the few, very few. I feel they laugh at us behind closed doors and are all smoke and mirrors in public. The people they hire to tell us what they mean or meant are like comedians to us. Remember the guy in Iraq that said the Americans were fleeing and he could not hear the bombs dropping the background?..like that! We have our own apologist who think we believe them, but we don't.

Some day all of us would love to meet all of you who have suffered so under the badly managed leadership of all our elected, selected or self appointed leaders.
