An AMAZING free resource with MASSIVE VALUE
Eben Pagan aka David DeAngelo is giving away some EXTREMELY high quality videos at his new blog in promotion of his information publishing/marketing mentoring program. I have learned so much just from these videos that has helped me in my quest for knowledge in this business. If you are interested go watch them all at:
He has started taking applications for the program and I believe that its running through the end of this week. The year-long program is a bit pricey for anybody at roughly $10k for the platinum and $5k for the gold but this guy really has the goods and if I could afford I would take the program in a heartbeat. It’s definitely a program I want to be involved with in the future as I learn more and gain success in this business. Check it out. Even if you don’t use it for a business, the value you can gain from these videos is fantastic.
A good article I came across…
I was messing around on Rich Jerk’s site and came across an old blog entry of his..As much drivel as this guy writes, I actually thought this post was pretty inspirational. Check it out:
There’s No Excuse
In today’s world, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BEING A PATHETIC LOSER. I qualify a “loser” as anyone who complains about their life, their job, or their financial situation. In 1999, I was definitely a loser. I had a negative $500 balance in my bank account (before overdrafts were tied to savings accounts), and blamed the world for my situation. Then someone with a lot of money told me something I’ll never forget: “You are where you want to be.” I thought to myself, “What is this mumbo jumbo crap?” I wanted to be rich, and I sure as hell wasn’t. He explained further….He told me If I REALLY wanted to be rich, I’d be doing whatever it takes to make that happen, even if it meant working ten times harder. Since I wasn’t really doing anything to GET rich, I obviously didn’t want to BE rich. Instead I was just WISHING I was rich. When I finally realized that, I knew what I had to do. And 6 years later, I’m a filthy rich multi-millionaire. And that is an epidemic in this world. Everyone wants something for nothing. Its easy to say you want to be rich while you’re sitting on your couch like a fat f%$#ing slob. But what are you doing to MAKE IT HAPPEN? If you’re a loser, that’s obviously what you WANT to be. Otherwise you’d be doing whatever it takes to STOP being a loser. When people find out I made my fortune online, aside from being disgustingly jealous, they say “Can you make me a website that will make me millions?”. I want to SLAP these people, and occasionally I do. If I create a website that will make anyone millions, it’s going to be for myself. I don’t work for ANYONE. I’ll tell someone HOW to make a website that will make them millions of dollars, but I won’t do it for them. And that’s exactly what I do in my ebook. Are the strategies in my book the ONLY ways to make money online? Of course not. Are they the EXACT strategies that worked for me? Absolutely.
So what do you do if you want to make money online, but don’t know sh#* about how to do it? YOU LEARN IT. So what if you don’t know HTML or how to build a website….learn it, or find a way to work around it. Pay someone else to do it, buy a software that does it for you, use my book. Whatever it takes. Just do it.
Remember the guy I mentioned above? He told me something else I’ll never forget. He said “You want money? Go get some.” At the time, I told him that was the stupidest thing I’d ever heard. As if I could just go get money if I simply wanted to. Then I kept thinking about what he said. After all, there must’ve been thousands of people in my position who later went on to become millionaires. And how did they do it? I knew they didn’t just sit around and wait for it. These people obviously decided that they COULD succeed, and started doing everything they could to make it happen….reading books, taking classes, talking to other successful people….whatever it was, they did SOMETHING. And thats exactly what I did. I got on several internet forums and just read all night long, day after day, month after month, and saw that many people were making a very good living through affiliate programs and more. And their websites and sales methods seemed very mediocre. I didn’t know anything about websites or marketing, but I knew I could do better. I HAD to do better. One guy I noticed had a credit repair website, selling an ebook about how to remove bad credit. That was something I knew A LOT about, as I had terrible credit. I bought his ebook, studied it, and then wrote one 10 times better. I paid a web designer $200 to make my ebook and design my website. Then I put an ad on Google. It made me $20k my first month. The rest is history.
Its up to you. Keep being a doormat, or wake the f#%* up and do something with your miserable life. Be jealous. Hate me all you want. I made more money while you were reading this than you made last week.
My Rich Jerk ebook has 6 years of my blood, sweat and tears in it (I cried once, big deal). And I used the info in it to become a pompous millionaire, and that’s all I ever wanted to be. So I’VE EARNED THE RIGHT to cuss at, yell at, harass, or belittle anyone who visits my website.
I AM BETTER THAN YOU. The question is, are you going to do anything about that? I doubt it.

Reading this I can relate to his situation at the time and I know that it takes a lot to try to make money in this game. This guy has done quite well for himself though. You can find the original post here or to check out the Rich Jerk book see the link below.
