\"PPCOK… I'm awake now.<\/p>\n

After spending the weekend in Vegas at Anik Singal's 2-day PPC Classroom LIVE seminar which included a few late nights as well as a few travel challenges<\/a> and delays — I was totally wasted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Maybe I'm getting too old to try and keep up with ‘kids' like Anik who are half my age.<\/p>\n

Or, perhaps I've been spoiled by my 2-hour work day<\/strong> which allows for plenty of exercise, nutrition breaks and rest.<\/p>\n

Actually, the term ‘spoiled' is incorrect.<\/p>\n

Working less to live more was always my goal<\/strong> — a goal that took only a couple years to achieve with affiliate marketing — the why's and how-to's of which I talked about during my presentation.<\/p>\n

That topic resonated deeply<\/strong> with both attendees and speakers, many of whom I spoke with afterwards.<\/p>\n

Their comments included “you have the BEST business model<\/em>“, “I'm SO tired of the rat race, that's EXACTLY how I want to work!<\/em>” and “guess I should have bought your book<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

Well, yaaaaa! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

After about 50 such comments<\/strong>, I realized that I haven't emphasized the point strongly enough here at NPT – the issue being that you choose a lifestyle when you choose your affiliate business model.<\/p>\n

To rectify my oversight, I've posted an article titled “Choose Your Affiliate Marketing Model Wisely<\/strong><\/a>“. It accurately describes the difference between lifestyles of a PPC search marketer and my (more relaxed) way of doing business as an affiliate.<\/p>\n

Read it.<\/p>\n

It could help you avoid choosing a business model that requires you to work 8, 10 or 12 hours a day just to keep up… and boy, doesn't that sound like a J.O.B.?<\/p>\n

Moreover, I want to hear you say the same thing that Andy Huang said to me this weekend with a BIG smile on his face…<\/p>\n

“Your book changed my life”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comments like that are the reason I have kept the Super Affiliate Handbook<\/a> updated for the last 4 and a half years and will continue to revise it.<\/p>\n

Not only do I want you to succeed in business, I want you to have time to enjoy your life.<\/p>\n

And now I'd like share some fun.<\/p>\n

So, check out the Lightbulb Joke Contest: Win a Copy of “Insider Secrets To Marketing Your Business On The Internet”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Too, I've uploaded the conference pictures<\/a> for your amusement.<\/p>\n

And last but not least, the bear still needs a name<\/a>. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Until next time, work smarter… not harder.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/div>\n
