Let me talk a little bit about branding yourself for online longevity. You are either going to make spurts of money, or you are going to ruin your business where you do not have longevity because of your branding. When you have a branding you develop a following of people, this is branding, you develop a following of people. They know you for one or a few specific things. Now, somebody in a situation that I have talked to about previously that hops from program to program every few months, who is a top earner or a top earner in his or her category that do this, and this has been going on for years, these types right here. And they ruin their branding, they have a following, they are doing great, but when they hop from program to program you just use the people on your list to make money, basically bringing them into another program, pay me this amount of money and just do the same thing all over again.

It is kind of like, if you want to call it a pyramid scheme, they just use people to go from program to program to develop their income for that year. And then in the future, after either a few months, a year or two, that is no longer true, because nobody will listen to them. They go from another program to another program and nobody will follow them. Word gets around online and they go to a program and start to do the marketing and nobody will listen to them. So the hundreds of thousands of dollars that they are already making is down the drain. They made that and hopefully if they are smart, the people in that category, they would have at least invested that money so that they could have a nice return on that money since they will not be able to make that much money in the future anymore.

Second, when I say we are in a unique category it is because we are online, it is a small community, we are world wide, if you ruin your name online, you ruin your business. If you are off line in a brick and mortar business, and let us just say you were in the State of Florida and you had an insurance business. You are in the insurance business and you are doing well, but you might not have been so ethical and you somehow ruined your name around the area that you lived in. It is very simple and businesses do this all the time. They will pick up and move somewhere else, another state, another county, another city to restart their business because they have ruined their branding in the area where they live.

Most of the time local businesses are just local. If they had national campaigns going, any type of insurance company, it might be a different story. They might not be able to move around per se, unless they went to another country to regain their branding. Online you cannot do that. Once you ruin your name, once you ruin your branding, it is done. Now specifically to this home based business industry, the mlm industry, if a person knows anything about affiliate marketing, they can probably do affiliate marketing because affiliate marketing does not require a big branding or much at all.

Affiliate marketing itself is just marketing some other company’s product, could be a health product, a service, an ebook from another website, they fulfill the order, emarket it and your name does not really have anything to do in the order of things. You just do some marketing and they go to the website, the website closes them and you make the money. That site provides customer service and that is it. That is why I love affiliate marketing because you can make a lot of money and you do not have to provide any customer service. It is up to the company where they bought the product from and it is a really cool thing. If that person does not do that, or if they want to make some money in the adsense area or other little things like that, they can probably do that. But their name is no good in this industry anymore.

Michael Douglas asked:


We all have seen our grandparents and parents grow old and most of us protest against the idea of aging in the same ways they did. In fact, we look for safer, more convenient and medically sound way to live longer, empower ourselves, and remain healthy throughout life. We may refer to it as ‘quality longevity.’ The everyday choices that we make have a greater impact on us than genetics, which account for only one-third of what determines our health as we age.

Hence, the quality of life is very much in our hands. Empowering ourselves for the future requires learning new skills as well as honing the ones we already have. Try some of these strategies to live longer, feel and look younger.

Sharpen your mind:

A sharp mind helps in staying fit. We’re more inclined to have good relationships, eat well and live a healthy lifestyle with a sharper mind. Doing mental aerobics can improve memory and lower your risk for Alzheimer’s disease. A recent study found that when we keep our minds active, brain efficiency increases dramatically, even after just a few weeks. Try different approaches to expanding your mental horizons, whether it’s travelling to new destinations, learning a musical instrument, or going back to school. Stay mentally active through puzzles, games, reading and other stimulating hobbies, but be sure to train and not strain your brain.

Cultivate healthy relationships:

Socially connected people have longer life expectancies than isolated individuals. Cultivate intimacy with your partner since good sex makes for a longer life. Not only does it bring people closer together, it lowers blood pressure, reduces pain, promotes restful sleep and boosts the immune system so we are better able to fight off infections. Our ability to understand another person’s emotional viewpoint and to express that understanding is the social glue that keeps us together.

Reduce stress:

We can’t completely eliminate stress from our lives, but we can learn healthier responses to it. We all can try to minimise stress to live longer and better. You can do it in many ways. Like control clutter in your home. Get more realistic about how much you take on each day. Try eliminating just a few items from your to-do list. Regular meditation reduces stress and also boosts the immune system. Empower yourself with the word ‘no.’

Think positive:

Optimists have a greater life expectancy than pessimists. Make an effort to see the cup half-full. Recent studies show that we can learn optimism when we set our minds to it. Discover your spiritual life. Attending a house of worship once a week is associated with a seven-year-longer survival compared with never attending. Take care of your needs. Satisfied people are twice as likely to survive compared with dissatisfied individuals.

Manage your environment:

Our environment has a big influence on how we feel and how long we live. Whether it’s traffic, noise, or other aspects of the environment at large, or more personal environmental issues such as aesthetics or bedroom temperature, our ‘quality longevity’ requires that we not only adapt to these influences but learn to shape them to meet our individual tastes and needs. Bear in mind function and aesthetics when designing your home and workspace. Manage your technology to avoid information overload.
