1. Positioned for opportunity

The importance of being positioned correctly for online opportunity is very overlooked.

If you have your head down, are deeply in debt, are worried (about anything), lack discipline (i.e. lazy), are waiting for a handout, are angry, fill your schedule with "junk" or even "good things", or are unhealthy (by choice or not) then you are probably NOT in a very good position for opportunity. Rid yourself of any excess baggage one piece at a time and the opportunities will start to come into focus by the hundreds.

Just reading this, or any other creative thinker's blog or newsletter often enough will light a fire.

Already this free newsletter has made many people permanently "unemployable" because they got so hungry for the opportunity... and many have successfully GRABBED IT.

2. Quick Tips

• Quick Tip 1

Refund rates and ebooks

The expected refund rate on download products such as ebooks on clickbank.com is around 7-9% typically. I've talked to many ebook authors and a high return rate is just expected. I think it's because it's just so simple to click a button to order, and then click another button to get a refund if you don't like it. That's how clickbank.com operates to protect themselves from "charge backs" or (costly customer complaint refunds initiated by Visa) etc.

With this in mind, it's very telling that the refund rate on my SilentSalesMachine.com book is under 1%!
