Our private member's club is now open. I should have done this years ago ... But here it is, and there are some distinct benefits to be found at the Pertineri Premium Private Member's Club.

For example, the complete live audio recordings from the MindMillion Live Event at the Grand Hotel in 2006 which are worth £120 all by themselves.

But there is more ...

MindMillion is all about using our intelligence, creativity and innate power to create better realities for ourselves. People have all sorts of mental and energy blockages about earning money and being truly happy and wealthy in the widest possible meaning of those terms. An extremely good and pleasant way to achieve these changes is by playing games - people learn best by play, that's how they were designed to learn by nature.

So I came up with 365 different games to play for prosperity, increasing prosperity consciousness, learning new thinking strategies from rich and successful people, changing our minds on many topics, expanding our capacity for generating new ideas, taking out old limiting beliefs and providing good ideas for people who are actively engaged in earning money in the real world.

We are very happy to announce the arrival of the money - dollar - cash images library on http://mindmillion.com/MONEY/ When it was originally created, it was mostly used by individual people making websites for internet commerce, particularly for selling ebooks online and writing sales pages for members clubs and such. Nowadays ...

Yes, we've all heard of affirmations. Of course, we've all "tried them" at some time. But did they work? Chances are, they did not. Does that mean that structurally, the idea of affirmations are unsound or that you have some kind of special talent to make affirmations work? Affirmations work for some people, but not for others? Interestingly enough, the nature and structure of affirmations began to become quite clear to me when I started studying something else - namely magic spells and rituals.

As you know, I like to explore the various avenues of Internet promotion and advertising.

For some time, people have been honking on about using social networking sites to promote yourself.

I've had a go with MySpace and a couple of others, but found it very tedious and annoying; and I don't like tedious and annoying things AT ALL. I also didn't see any immediate return from the efforts invested and could tell that this was going to a long slog kind of a deal.

However, I found something that works for me in the social networking department.

When you have your website up and running, and your mailing list, a really fun thing to do is to have a competition. It's easy, it's a bit of fun, it's newsworthy and it gives you the opportunity to engage with your visitors/subscribers in a different way for a change.

There are also other benefits.

I was asked the other day, "How can I sell more of these training DVDs? Do you know any places on the Internet where many people get together who would be good customers and buy them?" I thought about it and said, "Have you done a benefits analysis?" The person looked confused and said, "No, you misunderstand, I just want to sell more of them, see?"

There are 4 new free ebooks on internet, marketing and money in our downloads library as from today:

So, I moderate the MindMillion news group. And talk comes to writing advertisements, as it does.

And some members of the list are tying themselves into ever decreasing knots of pain with all the marketing books and good "advice" on how to "construct" a sales page, to the degree that NOTHING WAS BEING ACCOMPLISHED AT ALL any longer.

After weeks of revisions, toing and froing, hacking, cutting, pasting, deleting, stitching, stretching, messing with this and that and everything, there was NO LIFE LEFT in their sales pages, in their writing WHATSOEVER!

That's when I wrote the following to the list because I couldn't stand it anymore!

Silvia writes: Heyho, and I'm fresh from the first "Dragon's Den Party"! How GOOD is that!
With any second series, you get a bit scared that it might have gone downhill or wasn't as good as you remembered it to be - but I'm happy to report that it was, completely :-) We had four featured victims in the Dragon's Den as always and another half a dozen, of whose dismemberment we were only given brief glimpses and bloody highlights :-)

John Lessnau writes: Three or four years ago a massive link trading campaign could get your site to the top of the Search Engine Rankings (SERPs). However, things are changing quickly concerning reciprocal links. Companies like LinkAdage are receiving increased reports that reciprocal links are becoming a less effective part of SEO. In fact, it now seems sites that go overboard with reciprocal link campaigns are getting penalized in the SERPs by having most of their reciprocal links completely ignored by the search engines.

Once a cherished project such as your first ebook or ecourse has been completed, we need to turn our attention to the marketing of your project. Here's where things sometimes turn somewhat difficult if the author and the marketeer are one and the same person, and here's where we have to be cautious and take the right steps in the right order, so we might stay on track. Here is the MOST IMPORTANT and FIRST STEP you need to take - before you even start marketing!

Silvia Hartmann writes: All the experts across all the ages, all of time space agree - if you can't visualise your goals, create cohesive thoughtfields that your conscious mind can look to for guidance, and your unconscious mind to use your own powers of reality creation, you're pretty well shafted. I have recently given a live seminar and I was *shocked* to discover how diffuse, nebulous and un-REAL people's goals were! That's like wandering about in a fog - how ARE you going to find your way?! Well, the MindMillion Book Of The Month - September 2005 - I Create Reality by Christopher Westra should help!

I saw a reference to the term "fat cat" as I was in the middle of doing some little bitsy thing on one of my sites, one of those that you know is not going to make you RICH, it's just a question of sending perhaps 20 visitors a month one way, instead of another.

It then occurred to me that there's a metaphor in there somewhere.
