Affiliate Marketing
The first steps to a successful affiliate internet business online starts with a marketing plan that can incorporate several components to give you maximum exposure. If you are a new or struggling internet marketer, finding the keys to where to market, what to market and when to market can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. So how exactly can someone actually find the secret principles to success online?There are several roads you can take to creating a successful business model online. You can purchase as many information products as possible and attempt to learn the whole process on your own. One of the obstacles you will encounter with that strategy is a lot of false information from many internet marketers posing as experts. Another consequence to tackling your affiliate marketing aspirations yourself is the high cost of the learning curve that you will experience. You may have to purchase several ebooks from novice marketers that only provide you a portion of the formula.Ultimately the most secure route to success online is to form an affiliate marketing partnership with a proven affiliate marketer. You must find an internet marketer with a proven track record and follow their business model. The only problem with trying to form a partnership with an already established super affiliate is actually providing something of value to offer them. That is the reason I recommend you find an affiliate marketer with a membership club that you can join.The advantages of joining a membership club is that you will have the chance to form a marketing partnership with proven marketer and also have the support you will need to learn step by step the keys to online success. The Maverick Money Makers club is an affiliate marketing membership club started by Mack Michaels. The online club focuses on giving answers to the principles: where to market, what to market and when to market.Knowing the basics of what,where and when to market takes the guesswork out of internet marketing. Being successful on the net doesn't have to be an unreachable goal. The fact is that every other person who started on the internet before you had to learn some basic strategies to succeed online. The problem that most new marketers encounter, is trying to find a mentor to reciprocate back the same knowledge that they were privileged to learn. If you are not keen on where to look, you can endure years of frustration from receiving bad information from novice marketers.The importance of establishing partnerships can greatly enhance your chances of making money online a reality. The online experience has transformed into a social networking arena that makes almost everyone accessible. Social networking and membership clubs are excellent for connecting with professionals and creating a personal relationship. Using the resources provided in the Maverick Money Makers membership club can lessen the learning curve with a proven business model to follow.

Expensive picture
ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) – A picture sketched by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has fetched 37 million roubles ($1.15 million) at a charity auction.
The painting of snowfall seen through a window, finished by a professional artist, features a sprawling "Putin" signature and was introduced at Saturday's auction with the words: "Here is a new artist."
The auctioneer started bidding at 20,000 roubles ($620), the same as the other lots, only to meet cries of "Let's not be penny-pinchers" from the buyers, who demanded a starting price of five million roubles.
A black belt in judo, Putin has cultivated an image of a tough man, lionized by Russian media but so far not known for artistic talent.
An auction organizer said Putin had painted the picture in 20 minutes and then a professional artist filled in the details.
"Of all the paintings presented there, this was the best one," said a spokeswoman on Sunday for "Our Artists," the Moscow-based gallery which bought the painting.
The gallery, located in an exclusive wooded avenue just outside Moscow favored by oligarchs and top officials, said it would exhibit the painting to the public.

Online jobs
More than a year ago, both man and women enjoyed well-paying positions in financial institutions that specialized in home loans. When the economy soured, they were laid off.
"My job was outsourced to Texas," said Gandy, 39, who lives in El Sobrante and was let go from her job as a loan-closing specialist during downsizing at Wachovia in 2007. "I felt down because I had worked for the company for seven years. I loved the place. If that hadn't happened, I'd probably still be there."
Gutierrez, a 61-year-old Danville resident, was an executive assistant at E-Loan in Pleasanton.
"I was one of 500 people let go at E-Loan," said Gutierrez, who earned $55,000. "I looked for a year and six months and couldn't find anything comparable."
After some soul-searching, both man and women — along with many other people laid off in the past two years — enrolled in a clinical medical assistant class in the Mt. Diablo school district's adult education program. Now they are excited about starting careers in a field that is growing, while other businesses are shrinking.
"I will start out making $18 an hour, so it will be a considerable cut," Gutierrez said, after another student practiced checking her ears during the hands-on class. "But, toward the end of my career, I really am looking forward to personal satisfaction.
Pay for Air Traffic Controllers is high due to large amounts of overtime. In the coming years, new replacements will be necessary as a large number of current Air Traffic Controllers will retire according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). However the stress levels in this job are enormous and the required tasks can be quite tedious.
Unlike, Air Traffic Controllers, Small Business Owners are responsible for several different tasks. Depending on what they do, their business can be wildly successful, or go bankrupt.
One example is Jim Goodnight, the creator/owner of SAS, one of the largest software companies in the world. Partnering with some North Carolina State colleagues, Jim started SAS in 1976 as a small software development firm. It has since evolved into a company earning over $2 billion in revenues.
In the article in Forbes, Kurt goes on to explain more characteristics that make these jobs pay well.
There is an important caveat, and that is the effect of the recent economic downturn. These data were collected in 2008. If the current downturn deepens (becomes a depression), it is very possible that salaries such as those above might be even more difficult to obtain in 2009.
For example, several companies have already decided to reduce raises for the coming year. Also, several of the jobs are in construction, real estate, hospitality and leasure, all of which are currently being hit hard.
