Something that burns me like a waist high flame............

Dear Reader,

The Media have grown so narcissistic that it takes more than I can invest to watch them parade their useless opinions and advice through the TV or Radio or Newspaper. There are far too many who hold themselves out to be more holy than thou that all of sudden we hear them refer to our President as Mr. Obama or Mr. Bush or Mr. Carter. When did our President loose his title? When did our former Presidents' loose their right to be honored as Former Presidents?

Respect for others must become a matter of practice for those who hold these self righteous (and self appointed) positions of self appointed superiority. Have you read "Decision Points" by George W. Bush? That is, our former President Bush's book that gives insight to the personal effect which various times and events had on him and his family during his Presidency. You owe it to yourself to read this book.

One item of interest from the book that is germane to this article is: Leadership cannot be accomplished by demeaning an opponent or any person who disagrees with my point of view. When you consider the value of substance, negative comments without
substance or relevance are no better than slander. Next time you listen to a newscast or talk show, do yourself a favor and listen intently for these frequently well phrased but empty demeaning remarks. Once you begin to focus on them, it is difficult to stay tuned for very long until your blood will boil with anger.

This article will not include the disrespect news media has acquired for we citizens. Here is what I mean: news media now tells us how to live, what to buy, and how we are to "feel" about given subjects. In writings behind the scenes, news media are saying that Americans do not exhibit the intelligence to make reasonable decisions about significant subjects. Perhaps later I will write on this topic. But, not today.

Addressing our President (admittedly,mostly in his absence)as Mr. Obama is inappropriate and unacceptable. No one in America is expected to agree with Government leaders on all issues or, for that matter, every day. However, just as our flag deserves our respect - so do our elected officials. Mr. President works. President Obama works. Senator or Congressman works. Let us return to sufficient levels of respect while each serves their country in their elected capacity and, then honor their title as former Presidents or Congressmen. We can disagree about policy. We can disagree about the channels through which services are rendered. But until we walk in their shoes, our country deserves to hear the citizens - including the media personalities - address them as MR. President...........

If you are like me, I did not realize how far off track the news media would intentionally take a story. I was of the impression that each person relaying the news was doing exactly that - relaying the facts. When you have the experience of being engaged in the story being told, to the point of knowing the intricate details, you suddenly find out that the news is not relayed. NO, it is spun to illicit the reaction, response, or effect the person with the authority to determine what the news will be wants it to be. Please be CAUTIOUS AND CURIOUS!!!

OK. I do feel better. To hear a polished newscaster refer to our President as Mister, drives me to anger slightly short of insanity. It also makes me wonder what they are saying, behind the backs, about all those who fought and died to secure freedom for all of us. What level of respect is there for those who gave all they have to give in order to secure our freedom and liberty? Demonstrate your respect by honoring the office and the public's exercise of their right to vote. Thank you Mr. President. You entered office with an impossible task that is extending itself beyond expected time limits and tarnishing the results of your efforts. So long as you are my President, I respect you and desire to address you and hear you referred to as President Obama.

May God bless each of us with His abundant mercy and grace, Richard

7 Popular Scams that are flourishing on-Line....Do not be a victim

Are you Ready To Stop Making 
the lying Scammers Filthy Rich?

Are You Tired of
Loosing Serious Money to those
Online scam artists who promise the moon and 

deliver only DUNG???

If So, then read on.....

THERE IS NOTHING TO BUY AT THIS ADDRESS

Yes, I realize that what we are disclosing will be controversial eye openers...  Believe it or not there will be people who are so hooked on the lies that this exposure will offend them.

A lot of unsuspecting online 'marketers' claiming themselves to be gurus, experts, or worse - successful entrepreneurs are nothing more than scam artists, frauds, and thieves.  We are about to embarrass and expose them right here and right now.  It's their turn to lose thousands now - but, only if you read every word that follows and share it with those you know and love so that all may stop your financial bleeding.

Not only will these 7 specific scam warnings save you hundreds, or perhaps thousands of dollars in your search for what really works, but it will also brighten your life.  Isn't it more fun when you are on-line with better understanding of when you are being scammed?  When you can arrive at a site and know when to hit the "X" button?  Every time that you do, you have saved yourself some heartache and sent a message. Whether 90% or 95% or 99% of all the Online Marketers are now scamming the public is irrelevant.  WHY?  Because it is only relevant when you are armed with the knowledge and understanding of how to spot the lies.  Then the percentage becomes important.

I do believe that we are turning the corner toward a better more reliable presence on the internet.  We need more honest, upright, and devoted to truth marketers to begin establishing the higher quality.  Let us begin with a reminder - there are no secrets that cannot be discovered.  NO ONE on the internet has a secret.......whatever.  There are many people who have an understanding of matters that you and I have not been made aware.  Those are not secrets.  We are simply uninformed.  Take the time to find the "On-Line Universities" that are teaching On-Line Marketing.  Then the list of unknowns will begin to get shorter by the hour.

NOW is the time to share with you how to FINALLY get on the fast track to bringing in a substantial cash flow online using a very simple, but powerful income & cash flow formula that uses actual tested and proven *marketing principles*...And does it without sacrificing something every buyer deserves up front - THE TRUTH.   

If you are like me - YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!

This post exposes in painful detail many of the outright lies and scams that are preventing YOU from making a serious on-line income you so richly deserve. You are about to discover exactly how your money is being stolen right from under your nose.  Believe me - I too have lost money to these unscrupulous practices.

My focus is to earn a living income by producing quality products and services that actually HELP people succeed online.  I am guessing that you have the same desires.

There really IS an "Internet lifestyle" and I want you and me to live it.

"ATTENTION SCAMMERS,

NO ONE READING
PAST THIS POINT WILL
EVER BUY FROM YOU
AGAIN!"

The 7 BIGGEST LIES that are flourishing on the internet every day have us confused, frustrated, broke, and disenchanted.  However, once informed, each of us will be quicker to recognize the scam and get away from the hyped site.

SCAM 1.  FAKE scarcity.

Most of the sites that claim to have only opened a limited number of slots or are offering only a limited number of copies, are simply using the pressure of loosing out so that you will bite by buying the product or upgrade.  It is safe to say that such effort is nothing but BUNK.  Yes, there will be honest sites - especially for coaching - where a limited number or limited time will apply.  Most of the time you can contact those site owners or look them up on the Internet and find out if they are legitimate.

The rest of these sellers are simultaneously encouraging their affiliates to sell THOUSANDS of copies - and that's exactly what happens. For me this tactic is plain and open deception.  If you're telling people that there are only 300 copies available (no 'ifs' 'ands' or 'buts'), guess how many copies you should sell?  Yes, 300.

This same tactic is being employed with other sites for up-sales.  It disturbs me when I am offered a free membership (download etc) and then hard sell comes on telling me that I will only see this offer once.  It will never be seen again.  I don't even know these people!  How do I know whether or not they deliver what they advertise?  After I have experience with them, then I need to hear about this one time only special offer.  Think about it.

...EXPOSED.

SCAM 2. FAKE income claims.

This is one of the BIGGIES and is frequently REPEATED.  Affiliate marketing (where you earn commissions selling other peoples products) is extremely popular as it should be.  It's an excellent way for the average person to earn income on-line. Sellers know the appeal, so they often TARGET affiliate marketing wanna-be's. 

The scammers are allegedly showing you "income proof" of their gazillion dollars of income supposedly from using the product they are pitching to you.  But, they are actually showing you the income from the sale of the total program itself NOT from their actually *use* of the program they're selling.

Don't get me wrong...  Legitimate proof of income is a GOOD thing.  There are many ways to make money online and it's comforting to see proof that your mentor is successful and has honestly made the money he or she is claiming.

But the scammer is intentionally misleading us as to where and how those gazillion dollars shown were generated. Another trick to watch out for is the spend "$10,000 to make "$10,000" trick.    At least these have some remains of a dying conscience.  But, they are literally spend crazy amounts of money on their latest "secret" just so they can make sales claims regardless of the costs or refunds.  In this way they are able to show you "proof of income" with his system - even though it is a LIE!!!!

Sure, he made the $10,000.  But he also SPENT $10,000 (or more) on advertising (or refunds) to get those sales.  So he profits zero except that he now has the valuable so-called proof to get you to buy into his system.  (And this approach can be used for false claims of up to $150,000 per month or more.)

YOU DO KNOW THERE ARE NO REAL, GENUINE SECRETS - RIGHT?

...EXPOSED.

SCAM 3. FAKE testimonials and product reviews.

This is unbelievable.  Did you know that you can BUY a live video testimonial on sites like Fiverr or Elance for as little as 5 measly bucks?  The lies in testimonials has gotten so out of hand that the FTC recently put rules in place to govern what can be put on a site.  This will now give rise to more winning law suits that heretofore were difficult to win.

...Meaning, you can find people willing to make false income claims for ANY product or system, and create totally false testimonials, for a few bucks.  Here's one of the little schmucks that I just found on Fiverr as proof:
 

What amazes me is that some of the more popular so-called money making programs online are using these fake testimonials.  One popular program that was exposed, were claiming that a college student made $250,000.00 in 45 days with their program.  When in truth they paid him $5 to make the endorsement.  The fraudulent video was posted on the website sales page - out in plain site.

And as a result buyers are conned into thinking the system works miracles.

...EXPOSED.

SCAM 4. RIDICULOUS income claims.

Fortunately the recent FTC rules are cracking down on this, but any program that *guarantees* YOU can make a RIDICULOUS sum of money in a RIDICULOUSLY short amount of time is another scam to stay away from. So far no one has found a way to change the truism that Businesses are BUILT, not BORN.

This does not mean that you (others) may be in profit from day one.  Yes, it is possible to be on your way to making money from the very start. But to throw out figures like '$45,000 per month' and guarantee people can be making that kind of money with a special piece of software or system in a couple weeks is ALWAYS false.

How many times must we be told - there are no magic buttons to making a serious income online?  It will always take some work, effort, and perseverance.  Always! Always! Always!

Obviously, many of us need to be told to WISE UP and stop making these scammers rich.  They're flat out lying to you, for the specific purpose of stealing your money.

...EXPOSED.

SCAM 5. FAKE stories.

Are you familiar with this type of compelling story of how, for example, a 'bus boy', who was struggling and impoverished - barely making ends meet - went from making $8.50 an hour to $87,580 per month using a 'secret loophole' that he stumbled across on Facebook one fine day.

...When in reality, the story was a complete fabrication, entirely made up to draw you in and make the sale.  Or the one about the Grandfather using this "secret" did gazillion dollars and you can too.

I'm nobody special, and yet with time, determination, perseverance, and effort I am finding that success online comes to those willing to learn the TRUTH.

...EXPOSED.

SCAM 6. The MAGIC GET RICH button.

Many sales letters are using the approach that your success will come instantly, with a 'few clicks of the mouse', the 'push of a button', or the 'flip of a switch'...Literally flip a switch and the money making traffic and customers will INSTANTLY be flowing in.  Like opening your money faucet and out comes pouring a steady stream of large amounts of money. ...BULL CRAP.  That will *never* happen - unless you start with some unusual advantage like having a massive list of subscribers.

In most cases, regardless of how large a budget you have, even PAID advertising takes work and knowledge. Please Repeat after me: "There are no magic buttons and if I'm searching for one, well, I'm just as responsible for making the scammers rich as anybody." REPEAT THAT THREE TIMES; WRITE IT ON THE WALL OR MIRROR WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT EVERY DAY!

"There is no magic button and if I'm looking for one, well, I'm just as responsible as anyone for making the scammers rich."  Ok you get the message.

...EXPOSED.

SCAM 7. FALSE product representation.

Last but not least... There seems to be more and more programs that are making claims in their sales letters and presentations that are completely OPPOSITE of what is true when you actually obtain the product.  One example is a recent program offer claiming to generate effortless, completely automated massive traffic.  When in reality their method took OBVIOUS work by even the most forgiving of standards (as all methods do in varying degrees).

...EXPOSED.

Become informed.  Do not fall for the persuasion or the guilt or the "you'll loose the opportunity forever..."  The scammers are seeing the writing on the wall because.....

"EVEN THE SCAMMERS
ARE TELLING YOU TO
WATCH OUT FOR SCAMS!"

Yes, it is true.  I saw a big launch recently that went on and on about how the gurus are scamming you, this and that... I was like, "Wow.. yeah.. that's true.. uh uh!", in total agreement with their warnings - UNTIL I saw that they were *openly and obviously* guilty of more than 1 of the LIES listed above when I read the rest of their ad copy and specifically when their order form claimed only 300 copies made available.  Search the product and company on WarriorForum.com  Someone will know about them.  It is good practice to go on a reliable forum each day and become acquainted with the members.  You will appreciate how bright and well informed many are who frequently offer great advice. 

"NO MAGIC BUTTON?
OH NUTS!  NOW WHAT

SHALL I  DO?!"

There are three (3) great reasons to keep driving home the point that THERE ARE NO MAGIC BUTTONS OR TACTICS:

1. The "massive instant income and magic traffic button" are the very things peopleare FALLING FOR these days.  It's what they keep on chasing and never catching, because in reality they're chasing an empty fantasy.

2. The scammers KNOW that's what people are falling for.

3. Repeat it again: There is no friggen magic button.

But don't throw in the towel on your dream and give up on the lifestyle you deserve...

What I'm telling you is GOOD news, because now you can filter out the fantasy and start focusing on what really *honestly and truly does* make money. The better able you are at recognizing the lie, the scam, and the false manipulation, the nearer to profit you have come.

You really CAN have substantial income from an on-line presence/business.

SUMMARY:

There are no secrets for which some mystical guru has cornered the market.  The so-called secret does not exist.

There are no magic buttons or mystical/crystal gadgets, tactics, systems, opportunities and so on. These do not exist.

However, there is a very powerful and profitable opportunity awaiting those willing to listen, learn, and practice
sound business practices.  As you master these genuine principles and practices, you can be assured that your dreams are about to all come true beyond anything you have imagined.

Here is to your success.......never stop reaching for what you do not yet know.

God bless you,

On line marketers beware...........the lies are spreading faster than water runs!!!

It is most distasteful to begin with negative thoughts.  However, it is unacceptable and intolerable to open up the internet to find hundreds, perhaps thousands who are charging real dollars for information that THEY DO NOT use themselves.  It is more like hearing a reworded sales pitch from one site to the next.  How do you like the one's who start by telling you this is the only time you will see this special offer?  That has become my greatest irritation - primarily because I have no idea if what they are giving away is worth buying or upgrading whatever they are selling.  We need some time together and decide if this is the real thing before putting money out for rebranding or upgrading membership and the like.

What really chaps me are those sites where you have joined or signed up and immediately see this ONCE IN A LIFETIME OFFER...  Who are you?  I do not know if your stuff is what you say it is or if it works.  Why would I upgrade or purchase lifetime access or whatever the up-sale is when we have yet to exchange greetings?  Then you get those 1/2 dozen or more "WAIT!" messages on the next screen and then click cancel to see this discounted or special only today price or whatever the words.  You can't get off the page that began "You will see this only once....if you wait it will be gone forever!"  If that were true then you would not keep making an effort to sell me a discounted price for the upgrade/status or position by continuing to attempt to decrease the price and hold me on the page.

Those are irritating tactics.  There are the subtle one's who show you screen capture images or "live log in to my Zillion/Trillion dollar an hour money site."  Bring a dump truck and I'll fill it up with your money so fast.... that is as soon as you pay me only 1/4 trillion.  If there were that many actually depositing those amounts, there would be a long waiting line to get that self proclaimed guru's "SECRET."  For me, when I see the word "SECRET" I immediately get very suspicious and defensive.  Often times I will just click off the site and log a memory to never click on that one again.  Here's the deal - You Know the Secret to Life; the Secret to Success is no different.  OK, if I must, the only "secret" around is what you do not yet know or understand.  When it is presented as a "secret" the sales pitch is hoping to suck you into their lyre and suck all the available cash from you.

There is a great ebook that I fortunately found and highly recommend.  Its title is "Stop Being A Victim."  There are some very germane points and caveats that I wish I would have known a few years earlier.  The wisdom and disclosure is worth a small fortune to anyone who shops or works online.  It will cost you a whole $5.00 and you get several hundreds of dollars worth of value and information all for the $5.00.  Yes, the $5 will be paid to me.  You will then download the book "Stacked Income" which explains the unique business model.  I am not permitted to give the e-Book away.  The $5 must be paid each time someone wants the material.  You will also get a valuable and interesting home business along with all the other valuable items (all for $5).  Here is the link: http://www.5dollarfranchise.com/?id=RWDarnell

After you download the "Stacked Income" you will be taken to the bonus page and can download the "Stop Being A Victim" and other valuable materials.

Being a business owner becomes more expensive when the education must also come with the building of your business.  There is a large body of great material to save you time and money.  You may email me at R@RichardDarnell.com and ask the questions.  I will provide responses without cost to you.  Hopefully, you will ask your questions and challenge me to find the answers.  Whatever I have that may legitimately be shared without cost to you, I will share.

Becoming proficient enough to distinguish between the genuine honest few and all the others (some are very slick) is more than a nights work.  The words can be written, spoken, and formed into very great guru sounding quality material.  How do you get to the point of being able to separate empty or hollow promises from the real deal?  Either you learn from those of us who have made the errors, paid the price for mistakes, or you open your bank and begin earning the expensive wounds for yourself.  Read the e-Book "Stop Being A Victim" it is worth the price (my opinion).

Our labor day celebration was restful.  We did stuff together and left the idiot box turned off until later in the evening.  Then we watched a movie and retired for the night earlier than normal.  What a great holiday - how was yours?

God bless you,

Beat Depression - Eat Fat..and Lose weight TOO!

From what I have read, in health news, medical journals and online articles,about 6 million Americans 65 years of age and older are victims of medically diagnosed "major" depression.  In addition, another 5 million have symptoms of depression without the full-blown "major" illness.  The media often reports the vivid deadliness of depression.  Major depression, for the elderly, often announces the onset of catastrophic disease or death. One study confirmed that 80 percent of seniors with "severe" depression associated with mental decline died within three to six years from onset.
When depression is under control, our risk of many ailments, including heart disease and cancer, is reduced.  Most major publications have carried medical stories of how chronic inflammation is at the root of almost all our illness - REGARDLESS OF AGE.   But, did you know that inflammation also causes depression?  That one surprised me.
Research has shown that inflammation can trigger "major" depression, and more recent evidence is mounting that it causes depression which appears suddenly and without warning.
Numerous studies list the following results:
• Depression is a major risk indicator of future heart attacks and especially strokes.
• Depressed heart attack victims are three times more likely to die within a short time after the attack.
• Lab tests confirm that heart attack victims have substantially higher levels of inflammation measured by the levels of C-Reactive Protein and immune cytokines.
• Inflammation levels are more accurate predictors of both heart attack and stroke than cholesterol levels — even LDL-cholesterol.
Since I am over age 65 and have survived 3 heart attacks and one stroke, it is imperative that I keep tabs on the inflammation by having my C-Reactive Protein lab tested.  I do not know the incidents of depression when the inflammation levels are reduced.  But, reducing both the inflammation and conquering depression would lower your risk of heart attack and many other diseases. NOTE: For a detailed discussion on inflammation and its role in many diseases, see Dr. Blaylock's newsletter at:  http://w3.newsmax.com/blaylock/48a.cfm 
[Inflammation: The Real Cause of Most Diseases]
"One of the primary causes of inflammation is a poor diet that is high in omega-6 (N-6) fats, because it suppresses natural immunity while dramatically increasing inflammation. Americans eat 50 times the amount of these harmful fats as needed for health, mainly at the recommendation of the government".  For Dr. Blaylock's full report "Omega 3: Nature’s Miracle Panacea" go to:  http://w3.newsmax.com/blaylock/10a.cfm  
Is your diet rich in inflammation boosters or inflammation busters? We often eat foods without knowing their physiological effects.  Dr. Blaylock did recommend supplements (vitamins and other nutrients from nature) as daily additions to our diet.
Learn even more about the benefits of supplements by reading Dr Blaylock's special report at http://w3.newsmax.com/blaylock/36a.cfm
There are supplements of renown that many people testify have made direct positive impact on these kinds of issues.  Many have documented proof of their reduction of inflammation.  Dr Vaughn Johnson conducted a clinical study using XanGo (100% Mangosteen) Juice.  In that study the C-Reactive Protein (inflammation) dropped to within normal limits for those in the study.  If you want a copy of that report, email me a request at RaneTree@gmail.com
There are other products made from natural herbs, roots, and the like that have accelerated the positive effects of the juice.   One such product is called Eleviv.   You may learn more about it at:  http://lifeasitcouldbe.com/imagine/eleviv
When I read  Dr Blaylock's article, I thought the subject was worth sharing.  Please read his reports for more professional discussion than this lay person can provide.  My article is based solely on my personal knowledge and understanding but, is not intended to be medical advice nor represented as professional quality.  If you have a health issue for which you want more information, please send me your request in an email.  If you desire and make the specific request, I will ask the prayer warriors to add you to our daily prayer list.  Remember, Jesus loved you enough to give His life for you.  Therefore, you are both very important and extremely valuable.
God bless you, Richard

Top Ten Tips for Selling/Marketing Online

Helpful advice from Donna Partow's book Making Money From Home.

1.  Write a great headline.  You want to grab the interested party's attention.


2.  Post quality product images.  Eighty-three percent of  eBay shoppers skip listings without images.  Always put a product image right by the headline.  Also, you may want to post additional photos to capture the sides etc.

3.  Accept PayPal.  PayPal is the currency of choice on eBay, craigslist and others.

4.  Write an interesting advertisement.  Make it a reflection of your personality, using wit and humor when appropriate.


5.  Price to sell.  The competition online is stiff.  Hunt around to see what others are charging for similar products and cut your price 5 to 1 percent, but only if you can do so while still making a profit.  Remember: You aren't interested in running a charity.  You are in business.  For bidding purposes, determine what you hope the final selling price will be and start the bid at 6% less. (Some experts recommend starting all auctions at $1 to attract a bidding war.  If you do this, be sure to set a reserve price so you don't loose money.)  If you are willing to accept a price that's around or below where it's selling elsewhere on eBay, list that price as the "BUY IT NOW" price.

6.  Offer a great deal and tell buyers why.  Say you're simplifying your life and everything must go.  Or your college grad is moving back home and that's the end of the craft room.  Whatever you say must be real and true.

7.  Tell the whole truth.  Inform buyers up front about any defects, so they can tell you are honest and they may better decide their bid.

8.  Free shipping.  This is a great selling point, but be sure you're still making a profit.


9.  Be reasonable about shipping.  If you aren't offering free shipping, don't try to make a profit by overcharging for shipping.  Be fair with your customers, or they may strike back and cost you future business.


10.  Have a star rating above 99 percent.  If you follow the first nine tips, this shouldn't be a problem.  Make sure you deliver what you say you will, when you say you will, and how you say you'll do it.
