"the world of online marketing" is gigantic. Many, many different industries use the deathly long sales letters to sell riches. It is the place, besides late night infomercials, where I see most of the "get rich quick" hype. There are many ethical people who utilize online marketing to further good business goals. I hope I am one of them. I am referring to the unsubstantiated hype which takes honest people's money with flimsy chances at actually making a healthy profit. Sorry if you took my article as an offense -- I prefer to think of it as a reality check for anyone pursuing wealth. Thanks, -Pam Umm, Daniel, could you please point out the place in this article where I referenced the Network Marketing Industry?

Why would a person who has shuffled off the mortal coil and found a place of peace and transcendence concern him/her/itself with the petty problems of people still living? Why would anyone on a $10M take their eyes off the gorgeous sea vistas to write not poetry, not a great novel, not a love letter, but ad copy?

Thanks for that inspiring declaration video, found it posted on "headrush". As soon as you accept the state of being unemployed, earning more or less like seasons going by - its much more relaxing ;-) Very, very true.

On the surface it all looks so easy. As you know, I'm in the process of launching a major product, my biggest yet, and when it hits I know I'll get tons of emails from people asking me how I did it because to them it looks like I did it overnight. They don't know that it's taken me over a year and a huge cut in income to get to this point. And sure, the dollars rolling into my bank account will be most welcome, but I already get my real reward everyday: being at home with my 2-year-old son! http://www.thebooksistah.com Hi Pam,
