Become A ‘Wi-Fi’ Millionaire (from your home office)
What if you could make a FULL-TIME income, working part-time, anywhere in the world, or even work from your home office?
Think about that.
With just a computer, a wifi connection, and a desire to succeed, you could make more money than the average lawyer while only working three or four hours a day.
Sounds a bit outrageous, but once you read this book, you’ll understand how it’s possible.

Beat the Commission Cuts: How Amazon Affiliate Niche Sites Can Pivot to FBA
For some affiliate marketers, 2020 has been extra cruel.
One of the most popular and accessible affiliate networks, Amazon Associates, cut referral commissions for a number of categories, resulting in a drastic cut in revenue for a huge number of sites.
If you’re part of that number, you’ve got a couple of options. Either stay put and accept less money in your pocket or look for a pivot to regain what was lost.
In this post, we’re going to introduce a couple of options if you were hit by the commission cuts. In particular, how you can diversify your business and sell physical products with Amazon FBA.
Amazon Associates’ 2020 Commission Changes
First, a short introduction to the aforementioned commission cuts.
As of April 21, 2020, the rates for most product categories were altered pretty dramatically. Among the hardest hit:
Guy Quits Job to Play Starcraft 2
And Clears $5,000 a month!
Steven Bonnell didn’t want to clean carpets anymore – he just wanted to stay home and play his favourite video game, Starcraft 2. And not only is he earning $5,000 a month playing the game – he’s not even the best in the world. In fact, he doesn’t even play in the Starcraft tournaments.
So how is Steven earning a living doing the thing that he loves the most? He simply plays the game and streams it live via Justin.tv, and then he places the videos on YouTube.
Because he’s highly animated on the videos, he’s attracted a very loyal following, earning about $3500 a month in ad revenue. Plus, he’s teaching others how to play, which brings him an additional $1500 a month.

Affiliate Site Selling For $7 Billion? 7 Key Takeaways
According to the New York Times, Credit Karma is about to avoid the IPO market, and sell to a financial firm for $7 Billion.
We’re talking about an affiliate site here. An affiliate site is one that earns commissions from promoting OTHER PEOPLES products (by linking to their website through a special link).
Credit Karma was founded by Ken Lin. It is a website that has grown to have a lot of content, and it makes commissions from credit repair sites, and loan sites, and so forth.
Now while it started out as an ordinary site, this is no longer an ordinary affiliate site.
They claim that one-third of all Americans who have a credit profile, have used their site.
So that’s a lot of names and email addresses they have acquired over the last several years.
They have grown to be huge, and I don’t want to make this sound like it’s in any way typical.
How to Podcast from Home
Podcasting from home provides your brand and business with lots of unique opportunities. Since social distancing and quarantining have both been going on for a while now, and COVID-19 looks as if it will stick around for a bit, the attraction of podcasting is even more substantial.
But why even podcast at all? A podcast can easily be shared across a wide stream of platforms, from different people. It’s super easy for people to listen to, with iTunes, Spotify among the ways for people to hear your podcast. It’s an easy way to build influence, and listeners tend to become hard-core fans who want to talk about you and your business or brand.
Plus, it’s a lot more fun then it may seem to be. Sure, the idea of coming up with things to talk about for thirty or sixty minutes may at first seem a little bit on the daunting side. But you’ll be surprised by just how much content there is about your business, your passion, random thoughts, business tips, or things about your personal life that you feel like you want to share or talk about. Plus, it is an excellent way to build connections, and gain visibility.
Top Fitness Affiliate Programs
This week’s niche is focused on getting physically fit! If you have not started any fitness programs yet, you’re not alone (LOL). But if you are an affiliate marketer and you are looking for a new website to create and promote, then it’s about time you check out the top fitness affiliate programs we have for you here.
Let’s start by visiting sample websites to get an idea of how to succeed in this particular niche. Like this site, Nerd Fitness. I love the overall look and feel of the site as it clearly spells P-O-S-I-T-I-V-I-T-Y! This site is very well targeted at people who want to get fit and motivated all the time.
Another example of a fitness site is body+soul, which is more generalized than the previous one. This site tackles a variety of health and wellness topics. Nonetheless, it has a dedicated page for fitness topics. Additionally, what I love about this site is the overall magazine-like aesthetic. It appeals to me, which makes sense because the content and layout are geared towards women.
The Rich DO Get Richer, Because of This…
Two nights ago, my son told me he was stressed about his upcoming history test… the first in term 1 of 2017. With loving eyes like any other mom, I smiled at him and said, ” you can do this, son.”
Then these questions popped into my head…
Did you enjoy science class in school? Did you hate science class in school?
Either way, you’ll probably remember Isaac Newton’s theory:
“A body in motion tends to remain in motion, and a body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted on by an external force.”
Thinking of Starting Your Own Business? Here’s Why You Should
There are many reason people choose to start a business, ranging from the necessity to a passionate desire to create something from nothing. No reason is more valid than another. It really comes down to your own personal story and how you choose to navigate your path.
Some of the most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who were forced into it by circumstance and through sheer force of will made it happen (because there was literally no other choice). Conversely, the desire to create something wonderful for the world sometimes isn’t enough to ensure the success of a new venture.
Success or failure aside, let’s focus on this post on the reasons why you should start your own business.

Why Publish On Kindle? – My Top Five Reasons
There’s been a great deal of talk about Kindle recently, so I decided to check it out and make a list of the benefits of publishing on Kindle. My first question was, “Why do it?” Long story short, there are many reasons, I have listed my top five here.
1. Exposure.
By getting published on Amazon, you’re getting your name out there and you’re building credibility. Yes, even a $2.99 Kindle book makes you a published author in most people’s eyes.
2. List building.
It’s wonderfully easy to place your squeeze page URL or your website URL inside your books than you publish on Kindle, along with an offer for another free ebook just for joining your list. And these are quality prospects you’re adding to your list. After all, you know they’re interested in your topic, you know they like you (or they wouldn’t join your list after reading your book) and you know that they make purchases in your niche (after all, they bought your book, didn’t they?)
