How To Launder Money Succesfully:
 

 

This video was inspired by Annetta Kapon’s installation “Laundry” (click on “Laundry” for more information).

A week ago, I showed you how to save money buying great value presents. Because time is precious, instead of sending you back to my previous post, let me repeat these 3 rules for you:

Rule #1: Buy great value, don’t buy cheap.

Rule #2: Buy top quality brands at deep discount.

Rule #3: Buy 1 present for the whole family.

Last week, I presented you with some ideas such as photography (both Canon and Nikon); the ultimate games console, the new Xbox 360 with Kinect; and suitable Samsung LCD TV models including LED and Plasma TV models.

Here are a couple of great ideas especially for kids, your own kids and other kids including the ones that hide inside every grown-up.

[1] Barbie Doll Houses

These Barbie Doll Houses are suitable for girls from 3 to 300. Just check out the reviews!

Did you see how many mothers complained about not having had one of these when they grew up? You bet they are secretly playing with them when the family is asleep. And don’t think you’ll be able to keep the boys away from them.

Barbie Dollhouses are perennial favorites. And at this site, they have scoured the market for best prices. Check them out.

[2] Harry Potter Legos

What could be more attractive than two of the biggest names in one: Harry Potter and Lego? Especially now, with the release of the pen-ultimate Harry Potter film in the second half of November, there wil be a run on Harry Potter Legos.

These two are hot favorites for both, boys and girls of all ages.

And Lego being Lego, the versatility of the building blocks will keep the whole family increasingly busy, particularly when sets accumulate over the years.

Go on, bewitch them.

[3] Do you play the piano?

No room for a grand? Price tag too steep?

Here is the option to play or learn to play the piano without the price tag and the maintenance required by a “real” grand or an upright piano.

The Yamaha P155 will give you the weighted keys and sound of a grand and will fit into the smallest of living rooms. Your children will be able to learn to play with the “touch and feel” of a real piano wherever you live.

Look out for more suggestions shortly.

Christmas is approaching, times are tough, and we want to make the family happy. But how can we reconcile these opposing forces and still save money buying great value presents?

The secret is not to go for the obvious but to be clever about it. Make intelligent choices.

Here are two simple rules that help you not just in the run up to Christmas but anytime:

Rule #1: Buy great value, don’t buy cheap.

It’s obvious, cheap is cheap. It does not feel nice and, most importantly, cheap does not last. Buying cheap is not saving money but throwing it out of the window.

Rule #2: Buy top quality brands at deep discount.

Quality lasts and feels great, too. Bought at rock bottom prices, quality products will earn their keep and turn out cheap in the long run.

When you follow these 2 rules you cannot go wrong. You will save money and buy great value presents.

For good measure, here is a bonus rule:

Rule #3: Buy 1 present for the whole family.

Don’t spend your hard earned money on lots of little things that make the costs mount up at lightning speed. Buy one quality thing at deep discount that everyone can enjoy together.

Here is a list of resources for you. Check back often because I’ll keep adding to the list as and when I come across more great sites.

[1] Do you enjoy taking great pictures?

Snap shots are nice but why not take great pictures instead? After having given up my SLR with several lenses for low cost auto-focus pocket cameras, I’m moving back.  Rather than go for the cheap digital camera with its inherent limitations in spite of the myriad of features it offers, go for the top. Check out Best Canon Digital Cameras.

You’ll find a really great selection at great prices. What’s more, the selection at this site is not based on lab tests alone but on market evaluations of at least 14 different criteria made by thousands of buyers.

Perhaps you want to shoot for the top with full frame metering and all that a top of the range Nikon Digital SLR offers at pro level? Seeing is believing. Check out the Nikon D700 price here.

Tip: Don’t just keep the camera for yourself. Make it a family event. Create family movies or family slideshows together.

[2] Do you play?

Have fun playing games together or competing in your living room sports arena. The event of the year is just hitting the shops.

You can get the hottest games console of the year from Purchase New Xbox 360. The new Xbox 360 is ready for Kinect, the brand new console that will revolutionise family or party games.

With Kinect, there is no controller, there literally are no strings attached. You play with your body and your voice. You ARE the controller. And Kinect is ready for up to 4 players right out of the box. All you need to do is get off the couch and have fun.

[3] Want a new TV but unsure what to get?

A new TV set is an obvious choice. But how to choose and what to get? The market place is simply bewildering.

Check out Samsung LCD TV Models where you find a great selection of not only LCD TV Models but also LED TV models and plasma TV models plus reviews and best prices. It is a site where they took the time to check out what the market said not just what the manufacturers want to sell.

This girl, Ksenya Simonova, won the “Ukrania’s got talent” contest and for her final presentation drew on sand, with her hands, an animation of the German occupation of Ukraine during WW2.

Easy Video Player is a new program that makes lots of claims:

Supposedly, it allows you to upload a video to Amazon S3 or elsewhere at the touch of a button, it lets you embed links, images, opt-in pages, and, crucially, the publishers claim that it is very easy to use.

I decided to test these claims and do a live review of a first time use of Easy Video Player. Not only that, but the first time user is defnitely not a technical wizzard, quite the opposite. Here is Part 1 of the review:

In the not too distant future, in a galaxy close to home…

Haven’t we heard it all before? “Realise Your Dreams!” – “Fulfil Your Potential” – “Get What You Want!” Starting with Napoleon Hill right up to “The Secret” and beyond, Self-Help books, records, tapes, CDs, DVDs, MP3s, MP4s, charts, cards and whatever media format you can think of have flooded our lives. With what result, though? Hands up all those who actually thought themselves rich!

“Think And Grow Rich” goes a long way towards dispelling the myths about success, wealth creation and achieving your dreams and goals. The problem with Mr Hill is that he wasn’t a practitioner of the art, or science, if you wish, that he propagated. He only reportered on it and stopped frustratingly short of revealing the final step all aspiring practitioners have to take. He told us what to do but not how to do it effectively. The same holds for most of his successors.

He’s on the right track but, sadly, he, too, told us only what it was but not how we, habitual left-brainers, who don’t even know what “Right Brain” means, would activate our Right Brain in order to get started down this route today.

As we’re all online, let’s talk computers. What we need to know to get this ‘Right Brain’ thing is how to crack the code, or algorithm, of success. What is the key to that will help us decipher, decrypt, unlock this secret?

Rather than just say “Think Right Brain,” let’s break the problem down into manageable bits. What precisely do really successful men and women do not only to be successful but to stay successful after they reached their goal?

• How did they crack the code that propelled them to success?

• What programs, if any, are they running, day in, day out to stay on track?

• What are the data that they have to feed into the algorithm to obtain the results they want?

• How do they generate the output that allows them to achieve their results?

• Is this the same for everyone, or does it vary from one person to another? If it varies, how can it be adapted to be of use to you and me?

• Is there a secret, a master key that will unlock the gate to the hall of champions for us? How do we activate this master key?

• Finally, what we’d really like is a detailed guide with plenty of examples taking us by the hand and guiding us step by step and, of course, at an affordable price.

Wishful thinking? The search for the holy grail of success? Quite on the contrary.

The answers to these questions give us the 7 keys to realise our dreams that neither Napoleon Hill nor ‘The Secret’ revealed. And these answers are here: “The Eureka! Enigma” by Ron G Holland is the guide that takes us beyond the point where all others stopped short.

The Eureka! Enigma

“The Eureka! Enigma” has been 30 years in the making. It builds on Ron’s first two books, “Talk & Grow Rich – How to Create Wealth Without Capital” and “Turbo Success.” What’s more, Ron writes as a practitioner, not a reporter. He uses these keys daily to help himself, his friends, colleagues and clients to unlock the passage to achieve goals and dreams.

In the “The Eureka! Enigma” Ron shows us how to activate our Right Brain, how to visualise, and why others have fallen short of their promises. It is a powerful user manual helping us to unlock parts of our brain others simply don’t reach. I must attach one warning, though. It is a USER manual, and that means you must USE it. It is not enough just to read this book. You must do what it tells you to do. Only action will achieve results.

You may well be sceptical. I was, too. Like me, you probably read lots of books full of promises and regrettably short of producing results. You probably would like to check it out first. Here is what I did: I took his earlier book, “Talk & Grow Rich – How to Create Wealth Without Capital,” for a free test drive (you can download it in MP3 or pdf format here). After that, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on “The Eureka! Enigma.” I hope that like me you’ll invest in his latest, state-of-the-art book in the knowledge that you’re doing the best you can for yourself.

Talk & Grow Rich

How is your list of New Year’s resolution coming along? Growing? Planning to keep them all at once?

Here is a word from the wise: DON’T! When you’re overambitious, you’re planning to fail. Rather copy the methods of those who were successful:

“People who kept their resolutions tended to have broken their goal into smaller steps and rewarded themselves when they achieved one of these. They also told their friends about their goals, focused on the benefits of success and kept a diary of their progress.

“People who planned a series of smaller goals had an average success rate of 35%, while those who followed all five of the above strategies had a 50% chance of success.”

Search engines are an Internet Marketer’s best friend and worst nightmare. Google, Bing and Yahoo allow us to find all the information we need right now. Yes, they may swamp us with “stuff” and make us occasionally scream at them for all the dross we have to put up with before we find what we were looking for. But some diligent searching usually gets us there pretty fast.

How about posting information on the Internet? This seems to be another game altogether. A game, where the search engines set the rules. And then change them.

What is a legitimate method of posting information one day may well be regarded as undesirable the next by those who set the rules. As a result your website disappears from page 1 of Google (or Bing or Yahoo) and simply cannot be found. Or at least not on the first few pages beyond which most search engine users don’t venture. Which, for the struggling Internet Marketer, amounts to the same as not being online.

Is there a way out? Can we set up our Internet business on more solid foundations than the caprices of the search engines?

This is immensely important, especially for those who are new to this game, who want to earn some money online and don’t ooze cash. Paying for the privilege to be on page 1 of Google can cost you dearly if you are not savvy around this whole Adwords thing. Of course, you can pay to have your website optimised for the search engines. Until they change the rules. Then you pay again.

Catch-22? More like building on shifting sand. If you play by their rules, that is.

How about saying Good-bye to Google, Bing and Yahoo? What about spreading the word yourself? Make your message go viral and for free!

What? I hear you ask. By-pass all that web wizardry and huge bills and D-I-Y? For free? Yes, You Can! You can even get the information on how to do it for free. You only have to know where to look. Or click here.

That’s right. Download your free, straight forward, easy to read guide and all will be revealed. It’s a simple, ingenious Internet marketing idea that leaves the search engines behind and spreads your message like wildfire.
