How To Use The Internet To Create Multiple Income Streams

In the past a person would have found it hard to create several income streams. In present day the use of the internet makes it possible to create multiple streams of income and repeat the process as many time as want.

Here is one anyone can start several income streams using the internet and network marketing.

If you are familiar with network marketing you may know it better as multi level marketing or just plain mlm. If you had a bad experience in the past with a mlm business of your own you need to keep an open mind about this.

The internet has changed everything about network marketing. It is still about networking with people, but now you can do it quickly all over the world. You can build a downline of thousands of distributors in a very short period of time to day thanks to the internet. It all comes down to getting traffic to a website and follow-up which can easily be done via email

In the old days you could only get one income stream from one mlm company. That was done trying to recruit and train your downline. It as a hard thing to do and 95% or the people who started quit. Not so today. The success rate is much higher and you can create multiple income streams from several different companies at one time.

You can even join mlm companies that compliment each other and build a business with several of them at one time. This is proving to be a very fast way to start several income streams and grow them into a very large residual income.

There used to be a term called a virtual millionaire. This was a person who made $5k a month and was debt free. If you had $1 Million Dollars in the bank drawing %6 interest per year that would earn you $60K a year. If you dived that by 12 you will come up with $5k.

The problem is most people can not save $1 Million Dollars. So what you have to do is create an income stream of $5k a month or more whether you work or not. If you have no debt you could live like a millionaire.

This is what multiple income streams from the internet and network marketing can do for you. They can allow you to live like a millionaire without actual being one. The key is to put the effort in now and enjoy the rewards in a very short period of time later.

Was Jesus Christ a Long Haired Effeminate Looking Wimp? - Part 3

Would Jesus Christ stand at the window with the Pope at the Vatican sharing the adulation? As I wrote this I had to have a little laugh just because of the whole farcical idea, it is just so preposterous - I think I will consider a new career as a comedian - only joking of course! Can you imagine the above scenario? Well perhaps you can and if you can here is another question: Which Pope would it be which one would share this platform - the one who drew the shortest straw? Let’s face it they’re all going to be in heaven aren’t they? Well no, they won’t as no human being is going to heaven, but that’s another story for another article. What we need to ask ourselves is this: where in the Holy Scriptures does it say the Lord needs a leading representative on earth to stand on a platform anywhere on His behalf? Nowhere!! The Lord Jesus Christ has us - His Elect, those called by The Father to His Son, and He needs no one else. We are The Ecclesia, not some snake in the grass appointee of other snakes in the grass - the men or counterfeiters of the Christian Religion.

Let’s stop and think about this, what entities or bodies have representatives anyway? Corporations and businesses do and of course, low and behold, we are dealing with the largest corporation on earth - the Babylonian Mystery Religion Corporation with Catholicism in the west and Orthodoxy in the east with all their denominational subsidiaries - the demon-inations. I said this false effeminate wimp Jesus was big business didn’t I and here is the evidence? Not only that, but some with Swiss Bank accounts too, to keep things neat, tidy and oh so very unaccountable and secretive.

Here is the Truth, when The Lord Jesus Christ returns to this earth He is going to take His throne. A throne that will be given to Him by His Father, but which throne is that and where will it be located? Please note He will not be sharing this throne with anyone else. In turn, He will give thrones to the Twelve Apostles for they will judge the Twelve Tribes of Israel, but He will sit alone upon His Throne, a Throne above all others here on this earth, not in heaven. Only the Father’s Throne is in heaven.

Luke 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Jeremiah 14:21 Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Luke1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

Jeremiah 3:17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

By the sound of these Holy Scriptures they seem to be alluding to the fact that the throne already exists on earth and of course, it does. It is King David’s throne and it is the throne of Jesus Christ’s glory. Notice, there is no mention here of a ‘throne resurrection’ first before The Lord Jesus takes it as His own, so this is more evidence that this throne already exists on earth. Notice too, it is not in Rome and it is not a counterfeit religious throne but a true Royal Monarchical throne, a Kingly throne with a line directly back to King David.

Jeremiah 33:17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the House of Israel; The word ‘want’ here means ‘cut off’ so King David will never be cut off from a man (or woman) able, by Divine right, through the Royal blood line of Judah, to sit upon his throne. This royal throne is occupied to this day by a genuine Royal Monarch - God’s Anointed, not a scam-mongering impostor who heads up a money making cult or global corporation. The Lord Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords, not King of religious blaspheming phoneys, illegitimates and impostors.

So where is this Royal Monarchical throne that can trace its beginnings back to King David, located? That very same throne that The Lord Jesus Christ will take upon His return to this earth? There is only one place it can be and that is Great Britain. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II sits on the Lord Jesus Christ’s throne and if she is still alive at His return she will give it up to Him. She, like her ancestors, knows that she is God’s anointed and rules by Divine right. It too, is a throne that is continually under threat of extinction and never more so than today with the increasing threat of treacherous republicanism - even from her own government ministers. This threat is just another identifying sign that points to The Lord’s imminent return.

So here is that question again only this time I have put the false Jesus into the picture: would the effeminate wimp Jesus share a platform with the Pope(s) in order to get some adulation? Of course he would, he is metaphorically in their employ as their marketing tool - their flunky and their lackey. What about the real Lord Jesus Christ, what will He be doing while this wimp impostor is sharing a platform in the Vatican? He will be very busy crushing and pulverising all those representations of their religious idolatry into chaff on His worldwide threshing floor. The remains of this threshing i.e. the chaff, will immediately be carried away on the wind never to be seen nor heard of again - gone forever.

Dan 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the Stone that smote the image (and all other images) became a Great Mountain, and filled the whole earth. (Brackets and caps mine)

In Daniel 2 we can see the demise of the Babylonian image of King Nebuchadnezzar, (it’s all about images folks - false images) this image being the representation of four Satanic empires. These empires stretch through time from King Nebuchadnezzar unto this day. All religion is represented by Satan’s Babylonian Mystery Religion which The Stone - the Chief Cornerstone - Jesus Christ destroys completely and utterly when He returns to this earth. The smashed and pulverised remains of this image being like chaff carried away on the wind. The Stone - Jesus Christ, notice, becomes a great mountain that fills the whole earth. Here we can see the real Lord Jesus Christ in action - The Powerful ‘He-man’ Jesus Christ not some feeble ineffectual pathetic effeminate wimp with long hair.

I will be publishing a full length series of articles on Nebuchadnezzar’s image very soon. This Biblical prophecy is crucial in identifying the Whore of Babylon which rides the beast of Revelation.

Ok, that’s about it for this article, next up, that emotive issue of slavery, well it is for some, and of course the effeminate wimp ‘Jesus’ loves this subject. Have no fear; all will be revealed and so will the Lord Jesus Christ’s view on this, the most favoured hand wringing subject of wretched, do-gooding, guilt ladened, self-flagellating, liberal thinking men. A more pathetic group of people you would be hard pressed to find; in fact, on reflection, I am sure you would not find a more wretched and pathetic group of people - anywhere!!

The Origin and Evolution of Table Tennis

Much like its bigger version, table tennis is played with the same basic rules as Tennis. If you are a sports buff and has devoted quite a number of hours in front of the boob tube watching sports channels, its highly likely that you have watched a couple of games of table tennis.

Played in a wooden table, usually green like lawn tennis, table tennis or ping pong as what some people refer to it based on the sound the ball makes as it bounces, utilizes wooden paddles with rubber surfaces and a plastic ball instead of the big rackets and the furry green ball used in Tennis.

Table tennis has become very popular, not only because it is easy to learn how to play it and it is extremely fun, but also because it can easily be played even with just enough space to handle the table. It doesn’t require big courts like tennis and most garages can be setup with a table for ping pong.

Also, you don’t need to buy very fancy and expensive equipment just to have a table tennis set. It is only the table that requires some high cost but compared to other sports, the cost is not much. Then, all you would need is the paddle, a set of balls and you’re good to go.

The History of Table Tennis

Table Tennis first started out in the 1880’s when affluent Victorians in England where looking for a sport that they can play indoors. Taking the cue from the popular Tennis, this young men utilized a table and used make shift paddles from the box lids of cigarette boxes and an improvised ball made out of strings or a cork.

Enter the 1900’s. With the game’s popularity growing, manufacturers of table tennis equipment have made vast improvements out of the crude ones first used and started the manufacture of these new equipments for sale. The paddles known made use of custom shaped wood and rubbers where attached to make the game slower. The balls were known manufactured from celluloid making them rounder and bounce better.

With the commerciality of the game and its equipments, more and more people where able to discover and enjoy the game. In 1902, table tennis enthusiasts were able to compete in the first ever tournament, and by 1921, the Table Tennis Association was inaugurated in England and barely ten years after the first ever World Championships was played in England as well.

With the competitions, the commercialization and the legitimacy brought about by the establishment of an official organization, table tennis has become a worldwide phenomenon that is being enjoyed by all countries.

With many innovations and developments in the equipment used and the affordability of the game, many homes have their own table tennis sets were many people can enjoy the game. Plus, with its surging popularity and the great number of people playing table tennis, the game was recognized by the Olympic committee and was soon included in the world wide competition in 1988.

Over the years, many rules have been added, changed and removed to make the game more exciting. This changes has made table tennis very competitive and a favorite for many people today and probably in the years to come as well.

Joakim Noah - Is it See Ya Later Alligator?

As the Florida Gators sailed to their second consecutive NCAA championship on April 2, 2007, those of us watching couldn’t help but think we’d seen this episode before: these Florida Gators looked oddly similar to the ones in 2006. We, it turns out, weren’t seeing things: this team, and the outcome, was just the same.

Now this was, from the beginning, nearly bound to happen: after Florida won the 2006 National Championship, all five starters announced they would return to defend their title.

With so many familiar faces, there was none more recognizable than Joakim Noah. A man known for height, dramatic celebrations, and a signature curly pony tail, Joakim Noah has virtually been the face of the Florida Gators for the past two seasons.

Born on February 25, 1985 in New York City, Joakim had athletic prowess in his blood: his father, Yannick, was the 1983 French Open Champion. Perhaps it was his love for hoops, or his height - as Joakim is nearly seven feet tall - but something led the younger Noah away from the tennis courts and onto the basketball ones. It turned out to be a good decision.

After a stellar high school career, where Joakim averaged 24 points and 12 rebounds, Joakim went on to play at the University of Florida.

As a college freshman, Joakim saw little playing time and even littler greatness: he played just over ten minutes per game, averaging under four points and three rebounds on the season. His sophomore effort, however, saw Joakim truly come alive: he averaged 14.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks. As impressive as these stats were, they paled in comparison to what Joakim was about to do.

In the 2006 NCAA tournament, Joakim appeared to find himself, and he found himself becoming an elite player. During the NCAA regional game against first seed Villanova, Joakim led the way with 21 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks. He then went on to the final game of the NCAA tournament, scoring 16 points, pulling down 9 rebounds, and blocking six shots, the latter which would set a championship game record. These performances garnered Joakim several awards, including Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four, 2006 Associated Press All-SEC first Team, Honorable Mention All-American, and the beneficiary of a local late nigh talk show’s campaign to name a University of Florida throughway “Joakim Noah Road.” The performances also caused his stock in the NBA draft to skyrocket.

Joakim, however, had other plans.

Instead of declaring for the NBA draft - and likely procuring one of the top spots - Joakim decided to return to Florida for his junior year. It was a decision that ultimately paid off for his team: Florida defended their championship crown. As for Joakim, his decision of last year is now viewed by many as selfless: he has probably seen his stock in the NBA draft drop. Simply put. he was hotter at this time last year. But Joakim, amid celebrations of his team’s second consecutive title, hardly seemed to notice.

The power forward hasn’t said whether he will remain for his senior year or say “later gator” to the University of Florida. Whenever he declares eligible for the draft, he will have no problem fitting in, scoring points, and blocking shots in the NBA.

How to Earn from Associate Programs

Associate programs - also known as affiliate programs - are just another way to make money online, not to mention simpler and easier as well. It will take only a few minutes of your time to understand how associate programs work. Afterwards, you can decide for yourself what option to take to start earning from whichever associate programs you join.

What is an Associate Program?

Technically, however, it would be better to ask the question “what is an associate” since understanding what an associate is and isn’t would immediately make you understand what an associate program is.

Now the best way to describe an associate’s job is to compare it to what a sales agent is doing. A sales agent is commonly not part of any organizational structure but often works as a commission-based freelancing agent. This is the same for associates as well. Furthermore, online associates - just like land-based sales agents - can join as many associate programs as he wishes. How an online associate earns depends greatly on the agreement he has with the affiliate company, merchant, or vendor but more about that later on.

Joining Online Associate Programs

You can’t become an online associate of a particular store or company just because you decided to do so. No matter how many leads, clicks, or sales your website has been able to generate for the said company, the latter is in no way obliged to pay you any commissions because you weren’t part of his associate program.

Thus, you need to formally and officially join an associate program if you wish to become an online associate. Approval may be automatic or depending on the decision of the website owner. Once you’ve been approved, you will typically be given a link or button that will serve as your identification as another online associate. It is also used to direct customers from your website to theirs. Lastly, joining an associate program also facilitates the tracking of each and every affiliate’s output.

How to Earn from Associate Programs

There are basically three ways for you to earn from associate programs as an associate:

Pay-Per-Click - Nowadays, this is the least popular method of earning from associate programs because online merchants feel that it puts them at a great disadvantage. Clicks on the ads or links in an associate’s website do not necessarily and regularly lead to sales so rewarding every click could easily lead to bankruptcy. Secondly, it would easily for almost anyone to cheat by clicking his own ads or links to increase his commission.

Pay-Per-Lead - This is commonly used at present and is easier to succeed in compared to the last option available for online associates. In this case, an online associate earns for every visitor that goes to the other website from his will provide his contact details to the company to receive more updates or other things. It may not be an instant sale, but it could lead to one at least.

Pay-Per-Sale - This is by far the hardest strategy to employ, but it also is the most effective in ensuring that a fair and objective pay system is enforced. Pay-per-sale also promises the greatest rewards for online associates. An online associate earns in this case every time a visitor from his website ends up availing of a certain product or service from the online associate vendor.

Tips for More Success from Online Associate Programs

Choose affiliate programs that offer products and services you know a lot about, are interested in and able to market and sell effectively. If you are a medicine student, for instance, then you’re in the position to sell medications that your experience and knowledge deem as effective. And people will be inclined to believe you more than other associates because of your related background.

Consider maintaining multiple websites to increase your earning potential. It wouldn’t hurt one way another since you’ll be hosting - and you should - in a free web hosting provider.

Learn what affiliate arbitrage is and study on how you can effectively battle against it. Affiliate arbitrage can easily ruin all of this for you.

Becoming an online associate is not necessarily a difficult job to accomplish, but you need to work hard for it. Nevertheless, compared to other types of jobs, becoming an online associate is certainly a piece of cake! Good luck!

Sinus Infection Treatment- Without Antibiotics?

A gentleman named Jason H. recounted to me recently how he managed to treat a sinus infection without the use of antibiotics. Jason has a long history of 15 years of chronic sinus problems, and he has undergone 4 sinus surgeries. He is happy about his last operation to remove polyps and fix a deviated septum, and he has also begun using pulsating nasal irrigation with the Grossan Hydro PulseŽ device. Nonetheless, he recently managed to come down with another sinus infection. Concerned that he has taken too many antibiotics in his life, he decided to attack the problem using the nasal irrigator. At this point a disclaimer is in order. Neither Jason nor the author of this article are doctors or medical professionals, we are both just sinus sufferers. As such neither of us is qualified to offer medical advice. I would personally urge anyone with a sinus infection, particularly those with chronic problems, to see an ENT specialist.

In any case Jason used his nasal irrigation system 6 times on the day he realized he had an infection, which is a lot, but the next day he felt a lot better. He continued to use the system once or twice a day thereafter, as he normally would, and after three or four days he felt like he was completely over the problem. It was the first time he had ever dealt with a sinus infection without resorting to the use of antibiotics.

I personally know it is possible for the body to heal itself with sinus infections although the process can be long and painful. When I was much younger I used to say “when I get a cold it is really a lulu”, and I would typically be sick for 2 to 3 weeks. It wasn’t unusual for me to be bedridden for 2-4 days with severe headaches and nasal discharge and tearing in the eyes during that period as well. Of course colds don’t last that long, and I now know that what I was experiencing was a sinus infection.

Clearly the body will eventually heal itself, but the healing process can be much faster using proper medications, such as antibiotics in this case. However, I too began to wonder if I was taking too many antibiotics after a number of years. At present I’m pleased to say that my nasal irrigator keeps the amount of antibiotics I use down to a low number.

The main benefit of pulsating nasal irrigation is for prevention, however, rather than treatment of sinus infections that have already taken hold, as Jason used it. I’m personally coming to the conclusion that this procedure would benefit almost everybody. I used to be a person who would become sick fairly regularly, but now I almost never become ill. I’ve gone over 1 ˝ years without a cold or sinus infection, and it only happened on that occasion because I was exhausted before a long overseas flight. At that point I simply could not hold the infection off. I sometimes hear about people who don’t have chronic sinusitis and who come down with colds, and this tends to surprise me. I used to be the one who got sick all the time, but now that is almost never the case. If I do feel a cold coming on I’ll use my nasal irrigator two or even three times a day for 1-2 days (I normally use it twice a day in any case). If I feel a possible infection coming on I’ll also take 5 mg of prednisone, and I normally also use a steroid spray, flonase, although there are a number of such products on the market. For about five years now this regimen has worked well for me. One needs to be careful with prednisone, however, as it can cause harmful side-effects. I use it sparingly, and my doctor says it is not an issue.

Once again, I would recommend that most people seek advice from their doctor when they begin to fall ill. People like Jason and I, who have long histories battling sinus infection, can tell when we have one, but that is not the case for most people. There is no doubt, however, that pulsating nasal irrigation with a saline solution is a huge help, and I’m convinced it would help lower the number of colds caught by most people, even those who do not have chronic sinus problems. And it can be used even for treatment of a sinus infection, as Jason did, although it might be best to try this under a doctor’s supervision.

Winnie the Pooh and Friends on the Law of Attraction

As a child, I always loved watching Winnie the Pooh. I used to wake up at 6 am on Sunday mornings to catch his adventures on the local Disney channel. His love for honey fascinated me, as did his entourage of interesting buddies. Looking back upon this show, I realize that each character personified an aspect of the law of attraction. Each character taught a wonderful lesson about living life the hard way-or the easy way.

Winnie the Pooh-The ultimate cuddle bear, and also the ultimate example in allowing. Winnie the Pooh never bothered trying too hard. He believed that honey was plentiful and that things were always well. He seemed to never notice the storm coming or worry about dirtying his home. He lived for the honey, and that is exactly what he got!

Tigger-Tigger (T-i-with a double ggerr) will always have a special place in my heart. He personified ‘bounceability’ as one of my fellow coach friends calls it. Nothing got tigger down. Absolutely nothing. No matter how things went for him, he saw it in his favor. His optimism, his descriptive visualizations, his bounceability could easily make him the poster boy for the law of attraction.

Piglet- Ah, piglet-the worrier, the worker-bee. He was quite the opposite of Tigger. He worried his little head about everything, and hence he got more stuff to worry about. Piglet personified worry and fear-the very feelings that keep things from truly happening. Luckily he had a friend like Pooh who calmed his fears and allowed him to feel good.

Eeyore-I think Eeyore taught me more about being a victim than any book every could. He didn’t see himself as gloomy, he just didn’t expect much out of life. Even when things were fantastic in the hundred acre woods, Eeyore would look for (and often find) things to be sad about. His favorite phrase was “It’s not much of a tail, but I’m sort of attached to it.” This is the attitude so many of us hold towards the things that just aren’t good for us. We know they aren’t doing much for us, but we insist on the attachment. Be the anti-Eeyore-let go off the tail!

Rabbit-The hard-worker who can’t sit still. Rabbit could never truly relax. He never had any fun. I always felt bad for rabbit. He didn’t play with the others, he didn’t like honey, and he was forever chasing animals away from his carrots. And since he focused so much on work, that is what he attracted most. Rabbit didn’t understand that he was inherently worthy, and that as a toy he was supposed to be having fun!

Owl-Owl was the intelligent one. He had read all the Abraham-hicks books and watched The Secret a million times. He sure knew his stuff! However, Owl never could put it into action like Pooh could. I wish Owl had come to me to be coached! He would have been a fun client.

Christopher Robbin- Christopher Robbin was the source, the universe, God, of all the hundred acre woods. Christopher Robbin used his imagination to create the hundred acre woods. He was a master at visualization. As the source, he believed that all his toys deserved the best. He provided them with honey, friends, and plenty of space to play and grow. He loved them all, even if they didn’t always realize it.

If life is the hundred acre woods, which character are you? If you are Piglet, Owl, Eeyore, or Rabbit-please drop me an email.
