Optimism, however, can be learned, developed or created and you don't have to be a rocket scientist to achieve this.

Why Most Affiliate Marketers Fail

Willie Crawford

Many people coming online and then decide to sell affiliate products never sell a single product. The reason is glaringly obvious and it's not the unfortunate affiliate marketer's fault. Think about any job that you've ever held in the offline world. What happened? You were hired and told when to report for work. When you showed up for work you were entered into training. Depending upon the job, you spent weeks, sometimes even months, with a trainer guiding you and looking over your shoulder. Compare that with your typical affiliate program that the complete newbie can join.

Paying for Clicks with MIVA

By Merle

While Google, Yahoo and Microsoft may be the pay-per-click heavyweight contenders, another strong player is Miva. Miva is an independent search network (formerly known as Findwhat) powering over 2 billion search queries a month. You only pay for clicks on your ads, just as with the other pay-per-click networks.

Most people experience self-doubt on a regular basis and I am not immune. I have spent entirely too much of my life trying to accept myself as I am. While easy for me to see how wonderful and special you are, it was a challenge for many years to see myself in the same light. It’s no wonder that my journey led me into psychiatric nursing and success coaching not only to work on my own personal development but to assist others in their personal leadership development as well.

Self-Growth: Building Character and Integrity

Wendy Betterini

It's been said that character is defined by what you do when you think no one is watching. What an illuminating concept that is. Most of us have a public face and a private face.

We also tend to hide our weaknesses.
