Forex Trading

I've made money in stocks and forex trading.  Nothing beats forex for the simplicity of setting up an account and for trading.  Also it is relatively easy to learn.  You can concentrate on a single vehicle - the most liquid instrument in the world - the Euro-Dollar currency pair.  No market manipulation like you can see with the stock market.  Check out the links on this site - it is worth learning about.

To your success!

book review - an example of affiliate marketing.

hi everyone - this is an example of how to monetize your website:
I found this post on someone else's blog - amazingly they were writing about this book but did not even have it linked to amazon?  What you want to do i write about something - but link the pictures and certain words to the relevant product.  Remember - this is not a way to scam anyone, but rather to help people who are interested, to find the product they want.  That is what the internet is - a giant place to speed people toward where they want to go.  Go to amazon and sign up to be an affiliate - then find products you are interested in - write about them - and link what you write about to amazon's product list - simple!


hey - I just went to amazon to get the proper link (with my amazon affiliate ID - and found out they have a neat tool to use directly with Blogger.com I'm going to try to implement that now - time check - let's see how long this takes ...

The Merry Monarch's Wife: Catherine of Braganza

Jean Plaidy's historical novels have been re-printed in recent years, particularly the books in her "Queens of England" series. One recent re-release is "The Merry Monarch's Wife," (originally published in 1991) a biographical novel about Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II in the late 17th century. As with all books in this series, the story is told in first person by the queen looking back on her life -- along with the woman's repeated expressions of "if only" regret and how she might have done things differently. In each "Queens" book, Jean Plaidy features a character and basic story previously included in earlier series. For example, the "Courts of Love" Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine also is found in the first four books of the "Plantagenet Saga." Catherine of Braganza, the Merry Monarch's Wife, is also featured in the second book of the "King Charles II" trilogy (part of the overall Stuart Saga about the Stuart monarchs): A Health Unto His Majesty.

Through the earlier "King Charles II" series and this Queens of England companion book, Plaidy brings her great historical research to the interesting and romantic story of King Charles II and his merry England, the British Court of the Restoration Period. "The Merry Monarch's Wife" is a decent enough telling of the same story from the King Charles II trilogy, with some additional material specific to the life of Catherine before and after her marriage to Charles II. The many characters at court, including Charles' mistresses and extended family members, are sufficiently developed for a story that tells the details of life at court as well as the political events of the time, including especially the conflict between Catholics and Protestants. These novels about Catherine of Braganza bring out many interesting details about the tragic Queen, who introduced Britains to their (until recently) favorite beverage of tea, yet as a foreigner and Catholic was unpopular in her new country -- and in the end failed in the major duty of a Queen, to provide the country with an heir. Throughout, we see the young, naive and sheltered woman who was sent to a foreign country to become the wife of a promiscuous man who could not be faithful to one woman, and yet still loved Charles and clung to her position.

The story itself, as a part of the English Restoration, is one of marked licentiousness, the English extreme reaction against the preceding years of Cromwell's Puritan rule. Plaidy even included an author's note addressing this matter in the introduction to her King Charles II story -- an explanation no doubt needed in the 1950s -- along with her justification for what others' called her too favorable portrayal of Charles himself. This actual history shows the real depravity of mankind which as an overall society cannot yield to the holy and moral life desired by God, and bears out the Calvinist understanding that without God's work in the heart, man cannot conform to God's moral standards -- the underlying reason why Cromwell's Puritan England failed. Plaidy thankfully wrote in an earlier time and thus does not include the common vulgarity and gratuitous sex scenes so typical of many modern-day writers. Yet her telling of the story clearly states her own attitudes, a

Membership Site

Hi All,
I'm pretty tired today - got up in the middle of the night to research membership site software.
I went with WishListMember.  I got the multi site license, it was expensive; but I think it will be worth it because everything I read about it suggests that it is completely easy to set up and maintain, and very powerful and flexible as to what it can do.
with the multisite license they offered a couple of very nice custom themes and a graphics icon package; plus helpful links to a dozen or more important WP plugins.

I'm excited about the possibilities for my make-more-money site -- i wish i had more time to work on it!

need to try to grab an extra hour of sleep now ...

Cheers!

Health and Wellness

Hi All,
top of the day to everyone!
I've just added a health and wellness page to my site.
I've contacted one of the supplement companies I already am a customer for, to see if they offer an affiliate program.  I'll place the banner when they approve me - if they do.
In the meantime I have a couple of good network marketing companies - solid companies with good payouts and great products.
take a look.

CPA Instruments

Hi All!  okay - last night and today i've been occupied with programming a forex robot.  So far it takes an account from 10,000 to 200,000 from 1/1/2010 to 9/10/2010; not too shabby.
but it needs more work, as it is basically flat from 2005 to 2008 - with optimization i can get it from 10k to 40k during that time - still not bad, but obviously i have to solve the filter for trending markets - but that is another story - and another piece i have planned for make-more-money.com

what I want to talk about today is a great example of a membership website I found.
the initial presentation is very fine.  If you leave the landing page they redirect you to offer you some free content and another encouragement to purchase (rather than giving you a 10 dollar discount).  I like this approach, as it tells the prospective buyer, subconsciously, that there will not be a better price - so you may as well take them up on the offer.  Again - with clickbank - there is a guaranteed no questions ask 60 day return policy - so that gives a good measure of confidence to the buyer.

I've got a link to their site - you can see it here:  http://make-more-money.com/cpa-secrets
check it out and let me know what you think.  I'm calling your attention to this as an example of what is currently out there - but please know that if you do purchase through my link, for this or really most anything I direct you to from this site - you should know that i'm paid an affiliate commission for this.  this is also something you can do rather easily in the future.

I'm not fully satisfied with the whole idea of html programming - i can do this for sure - but it seems the whole world is going to wordpress - and it is so simple - so I may redesign my website around wordpress for the future.  that is another project.

Okay then - till next time - be well!
