W.J. Ronald Tucker A Perfect Way to Spend Christmas Day Last night, after a good dinner, our reassembled-for-Christmas family sat down to watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Unless you are from Afghanistan, you've probably seen it. It stars Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold, a bumbling dad, nostalgic with holiday spirit and hoping to create "the best Christmas ever." His character is really idiotic, but I couldn't deny the apparent: He was just like me! Christmas time has the same effect on me. It makes me sentimental about what sentiment is best spent on: friends and family. The Mastersons have a very traditional Christmas. Our house and front lawn are lit up -- not as brightly as the Griswold's, but bright enough. Inside, we've got all the classic decorations, the garlands and Santas, and a real Christmas tree. Above the fireplace, stockings are hung. And we have not just one but two enormously impressive miniature Christmas villages (planned and erected this year by Number Three Son, home from college a week ago). Christmas morning begins with a big breakfast, complete with Champagne cocktails and Christmas music. Afterward, my brother and K's brother come by with their families and we sit around the tree and exchange presents. This was always the highlight of the day when the kids were small, and it's still a lot of fun. Of course, it's an enormous production with a sinful amount of wrapping paper and cardboard boxes destroyed in no time at all. During the day, friends and family come by and more presents are opened, more thank-yous said, and more kisses given. Eggnog will be abundant. Bloody Marys too. At about 5 p.m., we will be serving dinner to the 40 or so people who will be milling around the house by then. The gathering will be very diverse, as they say these days. We are proud to have in our circle of family and friends Ecuadorians, Peruvians, French, Jamaicans, Polish, and African Americans; Catholics, Protestants, and Jews. I'll be in great form, smoking my cigar and serving drinks. K will do the hard work, getting all the food on the table. She will be helped by various friends and family members. Meanwhile, most of the men will be talking and drinking, oblivious to the work that is being done. At dusk, we'll light the lights outside, light the candles inside, and continue to enjoy one another's company as long as we can keep our eyes open. Late tonight -- probably much too late -- I will fall asleep counting my many blessings. I hope you do the same. A Little Christmas Assignment for You... Sometime this weekend, I'll find an hour to review what I did in 2010 and think about what I want to do in 2011. This is something you might want to do too. I begin by reviewing my yearly goals. If I've been good this year, I'll be rewarded by seeing that most of them have been accomplished or at least partially accomplished. Since I review my goals monthly, I've already got a pretty good idea of my accomplishments this year. I know that my main financial goal -- helping one of my clients turn his business around -- was achieved. And I wrote and published two books. And I got my movie distributed. All of that makes me feel good. But I'll also take some time to think about what I didn't get done and what I want to accomplish next year. I try to limit myself to a dozen main objectives each year, but I often can't stop myself from adding more . Last year, I wound up with more than 30. Not a bad thing, because it gets -- and keeps -- me motivated. I'll also spend some time reviewing my contact file to remind myself of all the people I do business with, all the new people I've met, and all the friends I have. I make a list of everyone I should get in touch with in the new year, and I write to those people during the first week of January. Those in Need If you are thinking about giving beyond the traditional Christmas circle this year, you might consider "adopting" a niece or nephew. For as little as $25 a month, you can change a child's life and improve his/her future prospects. The link below describes a new program based at the clinic I support at Rancho Santana in Nicaragua, where I have a second home. Julia Guth, executive director of the Oxford Club, started the clinic to help these very poor village people get basic medical attention. In Nicaragua, people don't expect the government to take care of them. At least, the people in our little town don't feel that way. They are grateful for the jobs they have gotten and the medical help they've been given... and now, they are grateful for the help this new program will give to their children. Find out what you can do for these children here. Ode to Joy A video has been making the rounds on my e-mail list that, in the spirit of the season, I feel I must share with you today. As the friend who first sent it to me said, "Don't you wish you still had this?" Check it out here and enjoy.

How much money "newbie" internet entrepreneurs really make
| To ensure that you never miss an issue, please whitelist our email. |
 |
Dear Early to Rise Reader, Ever wonder how much money "newbie" internet entrepreneurs really make their first few months online? I'll take an educated guess. I'd say that well over 90% of beginning internet entrepreneurs don't make a single penny. That's because... in most cases... they've got nobody to help them... nobody to show them what to do... and no idea where to start. So they never get anywhere... or make any money online. I'd then say the next 9% or so of beginning internet entrepreneurs actually see some results. They get an idea. They launch a website. They monetize it a bit. They may even make a few hundred bucks here and there. But they never make a jaw-dropping fortune. Why? Because more often than not, they hit a seemingly insurmountable "pitfall" or "roadblock" along the way. And when that happens, they have no idea how to overcome it. So they wind up quitting in frustration... even though they want to succeed online more than ever. And finally, you've got the remaining 1%. These are the go-getters. The winners. The big-time money-earners. I'm talking about the internet superstars that are really making a name for themselves... and bringing in the big-time income to back it up. How much do these superstars make? And how long did it take them to start bringing in big-time income online? Well... I just so happen to know an ETR reader who was making $5,000 a month online just 90 days after she got started. Another ETR reader I know made $85,000 his first 10 months online... and is on pace to make over $100,000 his first calendar year. By the way, both of them were "complete newbies" when they got started. Yet only a few months later, they both had thriving, growing internet business. Who are they? How did they do it? And can you enjoy similar success... starting this January? You'll find out all the details in the following presentation. It will show you how you can:
One last thing... Please don't delay if this opportunity interests you. You see, it's an extremely time-sensitive offer. In fact, once the clock hits 9:00AM EST on Tuesday, December 28th, 2010 (or 250 readers take us up on this offer – whichever comes first), this offer will be yanked from the shelves. And you may not see anything quite like it again for a long, long time. Perhaps ever. So please take a closer look... before it's too late. You'll be glad you did. Sincerely,
Jason Holland

Your ETR Insider
 | |||
From The Desk of Jason Holland | Volume 1 | Issue 44 | December 24, 2010 | ||
The Insider is normally dedicated to what's going on at Early to Rise: subscribers who have found success with their online businesses, news of programs we're working on, and the like. | It Happens Every Year... |Every year, before we've opened the Internet Money Club -- our top-tier Internet business coaching program -- to new members... people have already managed to get in touch with us and convince us to sign them up early. And that's why Brian Edmondson, the IMC Director, and I found ourselves giving some pre-training to the very first members of the Internet Money Club class of 2011 a couple of weeks ago. We were glad to get them focused on their new Internet businesses and give them action items to tackle before the class officially starts in January. Because that's the type of hands-on help and personal attention we always give to those who step forward and ask for it. Today is Christmas Eve. You are no doubt busy. But I just wanted to remind you that we stop accepting new members for the IMC's 2011 class on Tuesday, Dec. 28, at 9 p.m. sharp. No exceptions. So if you've ever thought about creating a second income online, you owe it to yourself to, at the very least, find out exactly how the Internet Money Club could help you do it -- and how you could be making money within a few months of joining. Just go here to get the details. | The First Sale |Over the past couple of weeks, I've shared the stories of several Internet Money Club members. Today, I'd like to introduce you to Melissa Fairchild, who recently reached an important milestone with her online business -- her first sale! Melissa's business, myspiritualbreakthrough.com, takes a holistic approach to personal growth, focusing on the mind, body, and spirit.
And as part of that philosophy, she offers several affiliate natural-health products, including some from Dr. Al Sears... which is where she made her first sale. "It was a large order for Dr. Sears's Primal Force supplements," Melissa told me, " I am so excited. My family suggested I make sure that the customer sent legitimate payment before I mailed out the products. I smiled and said that as an affiliate, I don't have to worry about any of those details since the affiliate company takes care of all of it, including fulfillment, and then sends my commission! They were impressed." Meanwhile, Melissa continues to work on improving her business. "I've gotten ideas from fellow IMC'ers, such as adding a plugin that allows me to see which articles and pages are being viewed on my site. And Brian Edmondson has emphasized the importance of keywords in the title and article as well to help with SEO. "I'm still learning a lot. My site visits are increasing and I am starting to get a few real comments. Still working out the details. And I keep making changes as I go." Good going, Melissa. And keep us posted on your progress. | Click Here to See |Small things can make a big difference when it comes to running an online business. Recently, for example, Brian gave IMC member J. Daniel Roberts (www.thewoodchips.com) a quick tip... and it increased the click-throughs from his e-mail newsletter to his website from 25% to 75%. "I just told him to blur the image of the cartoon he was sending that day and tell readers to 'click here' to see the unblurred version," says Brian. Here's the image. As it says, just click to see the real deal.
This particular "trick" is very specific to what J. Daniel is doing with his website. But there is always something that can be done to enhance every online business. You find it through trial and error... and you find it even faster when you have the experience of and help from experts behind you. | Merry Christmas |For all you Early to Risers out there who celebrate the season... enjoy your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I hope that, like me, you get to spend this special time with loved ones. Happy Holidays!

From the Editor: Today, Noah St. John tackles the problem with "affirmations" -- which many self-help gurus tout as the answer to getting what you want out of life. Noah has a better way: Afformations. This is the first of two videos Noah has made about Afformations, and he even gives viewers a free bonus.

He says that over the course of one day next year, everything in America will likely change... the way we shop, travel, and even retire. Before you dismiss this prediction altogether, keep in mind that this is the same multi-millionaire businessman who recently predicted the fall of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, GM, and General Growth Properties (the nation's biggest mall owner). While his next prediction actually has nothing to do with the stock market - it could change your life in ways you probably haven't yet imagined. "I actually made a start." "Hi Michael, "I'm from South Africa, and am amazed to find how useful your articles can be -- even to someone across the globe. "For the last 2 years, I have been telling people that I will write a book one day. It was only until recently that I actually made a start. "My 'problem' lies in procrastination and a fairly busy work life. I am far from an accomplished writer, but I truly believe that the sooner I start writing, the more I will adopt the 'author's mentality.' My plan is therefore to keep at it until I master my art." K.M. The First Major Shift in Business Thinking Since the Michael Masterson's New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Ready, Fire, Aim, lays out a completely new approach to business and life. It's the blueprint that helped Michael go from pool installer to self-employed multimillionaire before his 40th birthday. And it's so practical and sensible that just about anyone can use it to make their first $1 million... $50 million... $100 million... or more! The Language Perfectionist: A Wordy Phrase to Excise From Your Writing Consider these examples, found online:
In his new usage guide, The Accidents of Style, Charles Harrington Elster offers this advice: "The next time you find yourself writing in order to... try deleting in order. It won't affect your meaning, and you'll be amazed how much tighter and stronger your sentence will be as a result. Indeed, you'd be hard put to find a sentence... that wouldn't be improved by the removal of in order...." Thus, the first sentence above is better as "Do you have to sweat to lose weight while exercising?" Nitpickers might quibble that the U.S. Constitution was written "in Order to form a more perfect Union." But language has changed over the centuries. Our founding fathers should be regarded as role models for political philosophy rather than grammar and usage -- or capitalization.

How to Cut Down on Product Returns and Refunds

| From The Editor: Until recently, a Ferrari dealership in Scottsdale, Arizona had a used 2009 Scuderia Spider for sale. The car had only 438 miles on it when the previous owner turned it in. One of the finest automobiles in the world, and the guy barely drove it! What does this have to do with information marketing? Plenty. Everyone knows Ferrari. The provenance. The powerful engine. The prancing horse. But someone plunked down over $300,000 for one and after a few miles decided "Ehh, it's not for me." This happens all the time. People make a purchase and, for whatever reason, decide to return it. Today, Bob Bly explains why, despite your best efforts, there will always be customers who are going to want their money back. Still, there are ways to reduce refund requests to a bare minimum.
"Even if you have the empathy and the passion and you address the customer's problem, you haven't really given good customer service in total. You haven't done that until you have eliminated the problem that caused her to call in the first place." Charles Fishman How to Cut Down on Product Returns and Refunds It's every Internet marketer's dirty little secret: We hate product returns and refund requests! As my colleague FG puts it: "I hate seeing the UPS man coming the wrong way!" It's not so much the money, although we don't enjoy giving money back. It's that we take the rejection of our information products personally, as a rejection of us and our work. Every time a book is returned to one of the largest mail-order book publishers, the CEO complains: "Why are they returning this? It's a GREAT book!" California girl accidentally discovers $6 billion "Internet Goldmine" Southern California native Valerie Johnson was simply shopping for pajamas online one day. And then... strictly by chance... she stumbled upon a rather unusual website. Most people have never heard of it. Not even most seasoned online entrepreneurs. But Valerie found it. And it changed her life forever. Today... thanks largely to the $6 billion "Internet Goldmine" Valerie discovered, she can work from home, call her own shots, and live life completely on her own terms. What's more, her online business brought in close to $2 million in recession-slammed 2009! Here's Valerie's story... PLUS a way for YOU to master the exact same website that helped her become a seven-figure online entrepreneur. But a product can be great and still be returned for refund for a variety of reasons: 1. The product does not present the content the buyer expected.
2. The product is in the wrong medium for the customer.
3. The product is too basic.
4. The product is too advanced.
5. The product is worth the purchase price -- but no more than that.
6. The customer decides not to pursue the course of action laid out by the product.
7. You sell an inferior product.
If your information is sketchy, difficult to understand, or technically inaccurate... or your instructions are unclear or hard to follow... expect lots of returns and refund requests. As a rule of thumb, your refund rate should be less than 10% and ideally less than 5%. These numbers tend to increase in a shaky economy, such as the one we're suffering through now. Okay. So now that you know the reasons for product returns, here are some actions you can take to reduce your refund rates:

John Marsh Don't Even Think of Starting a Business Until You've Read This Book Brian Tracy calls Michael Masterson's Ready, Fire, Aim "an extraordinary book -- full of practiced, proven strategies and techniques to help you make more sales and greater profits than you ever imagined possible." And Robert Ringer says, "What sets Masterson apart from most of the gurus who write about how to do it is that he's actually done it -- over... and over... and over again." Find out just what Michael is saying in his New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller here.. Today's Words That Work: Cynosure A Cynosure (SIE-nuh-shoor) -- from Kynosoura, the Greek name for the constellation Ursa Minor -- is a person or thing that is the center of attention or admiration. Example (as used by Anthony Lane in a New Yorker review of the movie "The Fighter"): "[Mickey] is the cynosure of his mother's eye. 'All we ever wanted for you was to be world champion,' she tells him. No pressure there."

| From The Editor: There will be lots of video games under Christmas trees this year -- and not just for kids. As you will learn in today's essay from Christian Hill, the industry has become big business. And one company is set to dominate this holiday season. Today, Christian talks about that company -- a recommendation he recently added to The World's Least Expensive Portfolio.
"Money is power, freedom, a cushion, the root of all evil, the sum of blessings." Carl Sandburg Two Is Better Than One Video games aren't just for kids anymore. From its humble beginnings with games like "Pong" and "Pac Man," the industry has grown up. The average game player is now 34 years old, according to the Entertainment Software Association. And it is a very, very big business. 2009 annual revenues in the U.S. alone were $10.9 billion! One standout company has been dubbed "a mansion in a trailer park" by one analyst. And it could hand members of the Liberty Street League who are following my recommendations in "The World's Least Expensive Portfolio" gains of 100% by February 18th. Here's Why: During the fourth quarter of last year, this company had one "major" product launch, and brought in non-GAAP net revenues of $2.5 billion. It resulted in non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.48. This beat analyst expectations by 7 cents per share, and the stock rocketed up 10% in one day. Fast-forward to this quarter. For the first time in 12 years, the company has two "major" launches in the same quarter. One sold an estimated $900 million worth of video games in November alone. Don't Even Think of Starting a Business Until You've Read This Book Brian Tracy calls Michael Masterson's Ready, Fire, Aim "an extraordinary book -- full of practiced, proven strategies and techniques to help you make more sales and greater profits than you ever imagined possible." And Robert Ringer says, "What sets Masterson apart from most of the gurus who write about how to do it is that he's actually done it -- over... and over... and over again." Find out just what Michael is saying in his New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller here... Last week, the second major launch went on sale. It sold over 3.2 million copies in the first 24 hours! Two blockbusters in one quarter. But analysts are only expecting the company to earn the same $0.48 per share it did during the fourth quarter of last year. I believe that the company will earn more -- and that we can make 100% on our money when the stock pops after the earnings announcement. There are four reasons for my confidence. One reason is the incredible sales of the company's titles during the holiday season. Its two blockbuster titles this year should easily outsell its one blockbuster title from last year, resulting in higher revenues. The second reason is that the company has a history of beating expectations. It has beat expectations for three of the last four quarters, usually by $0.03 per share. The company beat earnings estimates by $0.07 during the fourth quarter of last year, and with a huge fourth quarter this year, I expect it to once again beat expectations handily. The third reason is the analyst expectations themselves. Not just for earnings, but for share price. Of the 22 analysts following the company, the median target price for the stock is $15 per share. That means analysts expect the share price to jump 25% in the next year. Any bit of good news will send it higher, and next quarter's earnings announcement should do just that. The last reason I think the stock will skyrocket is because it is approaching its 52-week high. It is already well above its 21-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages. To break above the psychological 52-week high, too, gives this stock tremendous momentum. I believe the company's huge fourth quarter won't be digested by Wall Street until after the holiday shopping season ends and preliminary sales figures come in. Once Wall Street grasps the magnitude of the company's sales, they will begin piling into the stock and drive up the price. Last week, I told my readers how to get involved now and position themselves for huge gains with this stock. To gain access to this recommendation, you must be a member of the Liberty Street League, which publishes The World's Least Expensive Portfolio. The portfolio has recommended picks to my readers that are showing gains of 94%, 72%, and 71% in a few short months. Membership is only $49, and could be paid for by your very first investment! [Ed. Note: Christian created The World's Least Expensive Portfolio in the Liberty Street League newsletter to help his readers quickly double or triple their money. Each month, he recommends a stock that gives them the opportunity to invest less than $100 and reap a huge payoff. (Buying every stock in the current portfolio costs less than $800.)

The Most Important Day in America

Dear Early to Rise Reader, A multi-millionaire business friend of mine has created a very controversial video, about what he is calling, "The most important day in America." In short, he says there is a day coming very soon in America's future, which will change nearly everything about the way we travel... educate our children... shop... save... invest... and plan for the future. Now normally, I dismiss this type of thing immediately. But my wealthy friend has an impressive track record of making some outrageous predictions about America... I do have to warn you, however: This material may be offensive to some audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. Sincerely,
Jason Holland
