Make $10000000000000000000…..with AFFILIATE MARKETING>>>
I exaggerated, I confess, I used too many zeros. Still I believe that Affiliate Marketing is synonymous of Amazing Monetary prosperity. Some companies pay up to 75% commission from every product that you sell. Is that fair? Is it fair that the owners of those products receive a measly 25% from the sale of products or services that they struggled to create while you keep the big profits? Well, let me tell you that those owners of those products couldn’t be happier to offer a 75% percent commissio ...

Affiliate Goals - Successful Goal Setting for Affiliates
When I first started out with Affiliate Marketing a few years ago, my primary goal was a very simple one. I just wanted enough money to pay for my hosting, which at the time was an ungodly $40 per month for a small website. Of course, these days you can host a hundred websites for $40 and have tons of features, but back then this was normal.
As the years went by, my affiliate sales grew slowly to around $500 a month. It was then I realized that maybe I could turn this part time income int ...

Negotiating real estate deals to win-win
If you’ve spent some time on homekeys.net, you probably noticed we generally don’t carry a torch for tradition or conventional wisdom. Having said that, the well-worn cliché above still holds true, especially in real estate transactions.

23 things to say when someone wants to "pick your brain"
Many service business owners these days are "giving away" their business services – and then wonder why people aren't hiring them in droves. In the name of "marketing," business owners are providing way too much information for free. Some shifts in thinking are necessary if these business owners expect to be in business years from now.
Even trained coaches, I believe, do too much pro-bono work. Why? They say that they need to practice, but the bottom line, IMO, is that they don't value their ...
