Today, I have an article on affirmations by Michael Lee.

Before you read the article, I wanted to give you an example of my own experience of affirmations.  In 2006, I used my rosary to make my own affirmations.  One of these was, ‘I am now happily living in south Warwickshire’.  At the time, this was pretty much pie in the sky.  I was in east Yorkshire where life was quite hard.  Before, I moved to Yorkshire, I was living in mid Warwickshire – where most of my friends still live. 

Throughout the Spring and Summer of 2006, I was trying to find a way.  I found somewhere to stay, but they were fairly sketpical.  I turned that around when I kept ringing them and kept asking to speak with the right person.  I must have called them every day.  In late August, that year, I was invited down to look at somewhere to live and on the way back to Yorkshire, I received a telephone call to ask when I could move down.  So, that’s my own personal testimony of the power of affirmations.

Affirmations – 3 Powerful Affirmations to Attract Prosperity in No Time Flat

Prosperity affirmations are the ticket to wealth and success. They condition your mind to seek out opportunities for growth. They also serve as a shout out to the universe that you’re ready to handle said wealth and success. These abundance affirmations are either recited everyday as some sort of mantra or serve as a poster for everyday encouragement.

Prosperity affirmations are more effective when they come from deep within yourself. More and more people are actually making use of daily affirmations to greatly enhance their financial and personal life. To help get you started, here are some you might like to use for yourself.

Prosperity Affirmation # 1: I Now Have Lots Of Money.

This puts an emphasis on the time element. Here, you see yourself as already having a lot of money or whatever it is you’re aiming for.

Just make sure to focus on the feeling of already having said money than the feeling of waiting for that money to appear. You want to attract “money already here” and not “money still waiting to happen.” You may not notice it at first, but there is a big difference between these two emotions.

Prosperity Affirmation # 2: Thank You For Giving Me This Lucky Break.

This also plays on the time element. You are already saying thank you as if you have already received the blessing you so want to have.

Saying “thank you” also brings in positive emotions, which are the basic fuel for attracting the right energy from the universe.

Prosperity Affirmation # 3: I Am Grateful To Have Such A Wonderful Life.

The word “grateful” enables you to look at your life with contentment. That feeling of contentment is very powerful. It resonates in waves to the universe and attracts nothing but more contentment.

Focusing on not having anything, on the other hand, produces negative waves which only attract the same negativity back. And trust me, you don’t want to get stuck in that cycle.

Prosperity affirmations are very powerful, especially when recited or read everyday. Dig deep inside yourself and combine these affirmations with feelings of contentment, happiness and gratitude.

You’ll soon find all that you wish for right under your nose. The aforementioned prosperity affirmations can also be switched around. You can easily replace “grateful” with another word of the same meaning; or you could replace “money” with other things you want in your life.

Designing the Right Landing Page

The right landing page dictates your prospect’s decision on whether or not to do business with you.  It is really that important.  There are many components to a superior landing page.  These include

1 – The title.  You need to make your headline stick out.  Think about your prospects, the first things you want them to know about your page.  To do this, you need to put yourself in your prospect’s position.  What would they want to read?  There are certain words that are more important.  Sure, to tell them they will make loads of money is a good start, but exactly how much can they expect to earn in their first month?  Year?  etc.  However, the most important word to put in any advert is the word ‘free’.  This word is the most powerful word in existence, simply because everybody loves something that is free.

The colours you use must complement each other.  To ensure that your colours do complement each other, you need to use the colour wheel below to help you design your colour scheme. 

The colours on the opposite sides of the wheel from each other are complementary colours.  This means that the colours will go together better and complement each other.  For example, purple and yellow are complementing each other, as are red and green.

It can be helpful to have a video, although this issue is not essential.  People love to watch videos and I recommend that you make use of them, especially in YouTube.  However, in your landing page, a photo will suffice.  I have the same picture you see at the top of this page in my landing page, although my landing page programmer has cleverly swapped the bottle in which I hold my bottle of aftershave.  This works well for me.  If you do use a video, make sure it is short and straight to the point.  Don’t leave the prospect with a really drawn out video because they will be more likely to lose interest and navigate away from your landing page.

The text you use should also be straight to the point and not long winded and drawn out either.  Minimise the amount of text you use as much as possible, but remember to keep it powerful by using words like ‘free’, ‘money’, and ‘the life you’ve always dreamed of’ etc.

Lastly, but one of the most important points you have to remember is to use an autoresponder to collect your prospect’s name and contact details.  When you get these, they are giving you permission to send them information on your business and send them your email series.

Of course, you can always go to elance.com and get someone else to design it for you, but you now know how your landing page should look.

I was there tonight, online, for another of Simon Stepsys’ training sessions.  Simon is one of my upline in the FM Group.  He came out of rettirement because he saw the awesome potential that was available in the FM opportunity.  Apart from anything, Simon is a tremendously experienced and gifted businessman.  He’s been there and built the kind of income and lifestyle that the vast majority of people can only dream about.  Here, in this post, I will let you know the incredible, totally Free and very effective methods of advertising that Simon uses every day.

1.  www.easyhits4ufree.com – Simon’s own Easy Hits 4 U site.  This boasts a 1:1 surf ratio.  For those of you who don’t know what that means, for every site that you surf, you have someone come to your site through this traffic exchange.  If you have a good landing page with the right features (I will cover landing pages very soon), you can easily build a great list for yourself.  The potential here is amazing as you can achieve up to 1,000 visitors to your site each and every day.  Most other traffic exchanges make you surf more sites than the number of visitors that you receive to your site.

2.  Leaving feedback and subscribing to other people’s youtube accounts.  When you surf your traffic exchanges, if there is a video, you should click on it to open it in youtube, then leave a positive comment, subscribe to the channel (an individual’s video series) and leave them a note saying both how you appreciated their video and also something about yourself (don’t ram your opportunity in someone’s face).  The most you should be advertising your business is simply by leaving your link for other people to click on at their own leisure and in their own time.

3.  http://www.vivastreet.co.uk – I worked with this site a fair while tonight.  I have uploaded quite a few different advertisements.  Viva Street are a totally free classified ads network.  You should check them out for yourself because they allow you to advertise as much as you want, without charge.

Something which you may not have considered doing is blog advertising.  Blog advertising is totally FREE and you can find loads of sources, who are all crying out for your link.  To advertise with this just

  1. Do a brainstorm of everything and anything that you feel you have the capabilities to write about.
  2. Subcategorise each of the subjects discovered in step 1
  3. Go to http://www.blogsearch.google.com and type in the subcategorised subject
  4. Look through each of the blogs on the search page and if there is space to enter your website address, do it.  If not, carry on to the next blog.  It is important to find out whether there is somewhere for you to put your website address before you read the text in the post, otherwise you are wasting your time.

For an example:  One of my main subjects is dogs.  I cut this down into Jack Russell Terriers and also Guide Dogs for the Blind.  I have a JRT and  my mother is totally blind.  Therefore, I have the capabilities and experience in order to write about these things.

Please leave your details below and then you will have done your first blog post advertisement – good ehh???
