Product Description:
The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas. |

How do we think about money?
What caused bankers to lose sight of the economy?
What caused individuals to take on mortgages that were not within their means?
What irrational forces guided our decisions?
And how can we recover from an economic crisis? In this revised and expanded edition of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller Predictably Irrational, Duke University's behavioral economist Dan Ariely explores the hidden forces that shape our decisions, including some of the causes responsible for the current economic crisis. Bringing a much-needed dose of sophisticated psychological study to the realm of public policy, Ariely offers his own insights into the irrationalities of everyday life, the decisions that led us to the financial meltdown of 2008, and the general ways we get ourselves into trouble. Blending common experiences and clever experiments with groundbreaking analysis, Ariely demonstrates how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. As he explains, our reliance on standard economic theory to design personal, national, and global policies may, in fact, be dangerous. The mistakes that we make as individuals and institutions are not random, and they can aggregate in the market—with devastating results. In light of our current economic crisis, the consequences of these systematic and predictable mistakes have never been clearer. Packed with new studies and thought-provoking responses to readers' questions and comments, this revised and expanded edition of Predictably Irrational will change the way we interact with the world—from the small decisions we make in our own lives to the individual and collective choices that shape our economy. |

The Secrets to Finding Graphics Without Risking Your Business is a handy guide that reveals the 'how to' of finding totally free graphics and images for online commercial use without risking your business by resorting to free - but not legal to use images - so commonly practiced by inexperienced or unaware marketers. The book explains why it's important not only to save money by finding free images, but also how to identify safe vs non-safe images, how easy it is for copyright holders to find you if you steal their images, and how you can use the same techniques to protect your own copyrighted images. This guide is a must have resource for small business and independent contractors, new and experienced webmasters and anyone planning to find images for their online and print campaigns not lucky enough to have a retainer with a large stock photo company. |

DETAILS
Like most marketers, you have probably made a little money from lots of effort but not enough to “give up the day job” and live that dream. Building websites, writing articles, affiliate marketing, building backlinks – they all rely on continuous work to either build traffic or generate a product or service. It's hard work and can be soul destroying. Sound familiar?
What you need is a business model which can be easily learned, gives instant cash flow and is easy to carry out. It should also provide a means of providing continuing income without substantial work on your part.
The good news is that such a business model exists. That model is buying pre-existing websites which are already earning money. The trick is to buy the right websites and to carry out the required due diligence before you buy. This book shows you how - step by step.
Lazy Passive Earnings is a straightforward guide which shows you the step by step process and explains how you can generate an independent income quickly and easily with minimal risk by buying income producing websites. The advantage of this is that you save yourself the pain of building a site, adding content, driving traffic and then trying to monetize it.
BOOK EXTRACT
"This is a book with a difference. My aim is simple. To tell the story, as it happened, of how I created an income stream for life. It can be your story too, with some work and the right approach.
The account is no frills, if you want bullshit then put this book down and go elsewhere.....the internet is full of people feeding lies and half truths to extract your hard earned cash.
This account tells what happened, warts and all, when I decided to create myself an income stream which was sufficient to replace my full time job. Read it and use your brain to put together your own plan.
Let me start by outlining why I wanted to do this and what prompted my actions.
During my late forties I started to realize that what I wanted most in life was the freedom to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. In my case that meant more time with family and friends, swimming, playing pool, travelling to warmer destinations, eating out, reading and working.
Now that last item might come as a surprise but let me explain. Work for me means doing something that is challenging, enjoyable and which allows me to support my family in a decent manner. The problem was that I did not want to spend up to half the available hours each week just working. This left too little time for the other enjoyable activities that I described earlier.
I started to dabble with internet marketing a few years ago and through a combination of writing, website building and affiliate marketing I earned around $5000 over three years. Not really life changing income but enough to" |
