Top Ten Ways to Ease into Effortlessness

1. Decide effortlessness is Easy
The only thing standing in your way of an effortless life right now is the thought that effortlessness is unusual/difficult/wacky or wrong. These ideas will leave as easy as they came, easing you in to effortlessness. You can’t struggle your way to effortlessness.

2. Listen for your comfort
Listen with all of your senses. When a shoe feels good, ask someone to send out for 5 more pairs. When you feel really relaxed, notice, and stay that way.

3. Get fed and eat slowly
A Dionysan feast might be nice, but in lieu of that, go out to eat. Know that the hands that serve you- serve you. Realize all the services that make your life effortless right now- use them.

4. Breathe (like someone needed to tell you to do that….)

5. Take the low road - gravity is on your side
Decide to take the easiest path to your destination, in fact, hitch a ride on an elephant’s back. Sometimes the high road takes hiking gear and muscle strain….unless of course, you have wings.

6. Smooth-in some ruffles - they create great cushion.

And extra air-pockets for breeziness. Texture is indicative of effortlessness- nature is full of ruffles and bumps. It is man’s hands (and efforts) that make rough spots smooth. Witness the ruffles and bumps as textural zen- simplicity untouched.

7. Wake up by rolling over
Invest in your sleep and take the benefits into your waking life. Roll your sleep over into an investment in your day. How else can you make your dreams come true?

8. Your thoughts move effortlessly, why not you?
Our thoughts come and go, with lightning speed and little energy. So do our bodies. Let it come and go as is natural. Choose easy movements, enjoy them. Energy, electricity and health are your bodies’ nature.

9. Ask someone to clean your clutter
Find the easy way out of a closet full of clutter…or learn to love it. Reaching into our wallets takes less effort than reaching the back wall of our basements.

10. Create a vacuum (or mail order for a Eureka)
It is easy to create a vacuum. Remember: removing anything makes a space. How about removing the idea that effortlessness takes work?

Where to print a book - [quote:39vg8s93]So, writing a chapter a day, I finished in a month, and Kidpreneur: Genius Ways for Kids to Pay For College was born. Currently my book is self published -- I just printed up 100 copies to give to all the people featured in the book, teachers, and some more to sell at $20.00 a piece (it costs $10.00 a copy at Kinko's, so it's not really an outrageous price). [/quote:39vg8s93] If at all possible, you need to stop using Kinko's now and go price some real printers. It should cost only a couple of dollars a piece, if that, to print your book. Admittedly you'll have to buy in bulk, but the overall savings - selling a $2 book for $20 so that you make an $18 profit instead of a measley $10.... is something every kidpreneur should think about!
Revenue Streams for Websites - Too funny, I was just reading a book: Multiple Streams of Internet Income: How Ordinary People make extraordinary money on line, by Robert G. Allen. 2001 That's a misnomer, though - they're not ordinary people, they're people with established careers who can take their expertise and exploit it on the web. Ways to generate income? 1) Sell your own material on the site. Ebooks, etc. 2) Join various affiliate programs that match what your website is about. 3) Google adsense - All my money comes from this... it's started out slow but as readership of my sites grown, the income has grown. Nothing to write home about yet... 4) Google adwords - the advertisers whose ads show up on Google Adsense. Unless you're selling big ticket items on your site you don't want to use it, your keywords can cost from 20 cents upwards.
Re: Need A Review Of My Internet Marketing Blog - Hi Jay, I tend to agree with the others. You have obviously put a great deal of effort into your site which you can be proud of and the content is great but there is just too much of it. As soon as I landed on your home page I was immediately distracted by a pop up message followed by another banner at the bottom-not good. I want to see your site and what you have to offer. A lot of visitors will just exit out at this point when what you want them to do is stick around and ‘take action’ by signing up to one of your offers. Try to streamline your site into your banker offers and a few others and if you want to lead people away from your front page to specific niche offers all about perhaps ’surveys’ or ‘data entry’ then just include a side widget for something like ‘Other Ways To Make Money On The Interent’ and take them away to another page with different banners etc but not all on your front page as they will be totally confused by all the offers and leave. My site below is very new with limited content to very specific offers and over the coming months I will be developing it to cover other linked pages to other areas of interest for the visitors, best wishes, Mal.
