Internet Business: Making Money on the Web

Make money on the internet is a fascinating subject. Millions have leaped into the internet, putting up websites and waiting for the money to start rolling in...but it never does. They wonder why. Frankly, I never gave it much thought until a few years ago when I happened to represent a client who was making millions selling some very high-dollar products. I recall being stunned at the hundreds of phone calls that came into the office when I was there, all of them wanting to buy product. I even watched as one salesman sold $50,000.00 worth of product in a single day!

There are now many thousands of web profiteers making tons of money on the internet. But, it's not so simple as merely putting up a web site and waiting for the money to come rolling into one's bank account. It can be a rather sophisticated process. There's a lot of learning to the whole process.

I began to investigate the matter when I decided to revive my publishing company that had lain dormant for many years. It became clear to me that internet marketing skills were of absolute importance. So, I began a quest which consisted of subscribing to virtually every guru and web profiteer out there. Some of them were pretty high rollers. They were selling their services for a LOT of money, too steep for the average Jane or Joe. I'm not saying that a high-priced program that teaches you how to set up a successful internet business is wrong. Value is not necessarily in the complexity or the depth of a product, but rather in whether or not it succeeds in its purpose, and the value it brings to the customer. As a lawyer, I've saved clients a lot of money with just a few simple legal techniques. The charges I made to them were insignificant when compared to the savings. So, even though some of those guru's are charging a lot of money, I cannot say they are "overpriced," or outrageous. I can say that I have found some that are cheaper, and very, very good. One is the course by Derek Gehl (see the ad below). I have to say, it's the best I've found on the internet. Some may be better, but I've not seen one yet. If you've an interest in learning how to market on the internet, I highly recommend this course.

Pork and Paylean - Dangerous mix

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 by: Barbara Minton, Natural Health Editor

(NaturalNews) Up until recently, U.S. pork producers were worried about tightening profit margins across their industry. Now many of them are smiling, and it's all because of Paylean, a drug that is netting them more cash for each hog they sell. Consumers of pork products may not be too happy though, since most of the pork products they buy at conventional grocery stores and restaurants are chocked full of Paylean, a chemical that has been shown to have the potential for causing cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Paylean is a conventional hog farmer's dream product

Paylean is a product of Elanco technology, a company owned by Eli Lilly. It was approved in 1999 for use on finishing swine, pigs that are being fed for market. Paylean directs nutrients away from the production of fat deposition toward the production of lean meat. According to Elanco's website, years of university and private research have shown that Paylean produces an increased rate of weight gain, improved efficiency, and increased carcass leanness in hogs ready for market.

Conventional hog producers love Paylean because it improves feed efficiency by 13 percent, and increases average daily gain in hogs by 10 percent. It reduces average daily feed intake by 6 percent, and increases lean gain by 25 to 37 percent according to research results. Use of Paylean can net a pork producer an additional $5 to10 per hog. A producer who runs a fairly large operation can increase profits by $320,000 a year or more by using Paylean.

No Paylean clearance period is required prior to slaughter

Pigs can be dining on Paylean laced feed right up until the time they enter the slaughtering process. There is no clearance period required. Other drugs used by producers require a clearance time of two weeks before the animal can be turned into food for the dinner table. Not so with Paylean, even though industry research has shown that it takes a full seven days for 97% of Paylean to be excreted following a one-time typical dose in pigs. This means that whether you are eating a hot dog at the ball park or your Christmas ham, you are consuming Paylean.

America's Future: Are we doomed?

The future of America is an oft discussed topic. The prophets and prognosticators came out in full force in the wake of the terrorist attack on America on September 11, 2001. And, perhaps it is good they've come out with their predictions, because they've caused Americans, many for the first time, to begin to ask questions about the future of America. Uncertainty mingled with a very real and present danger has a way of giving us intellectual, if not spiritual, hiccups.
