Hey guys, here’s a new video I put together for you, as MANY of you were ask­ing me to cover this subject.

You should watch this video right now here because it high­lights a really impor­tant con­cept that’s cru­cial to achiev­ing finan­cial freedom.

Which part of the quad­rant are you on? Which quad­rant are you work­ing on get­ting to right now?

Please leave your answers below.

Onwards with Quan,

One of the com­plaints I keep hear­ing over and over again is this:

“Why can’t I earn extra income?”

Most of the time, it’s not because your port­fo­lio isn’t diver­si­fied enough or because you’re not invest­ing in the right com­modi­ties, but rather in your mind.

Specif­i­cally, your wealth mind­set.

This is because every action you take, every thought you have, every remark you make stems from your atti­tude and your per­spec­tive. And unless you change the way your mind thinks about money, your actions, words, and thoughts will never be on the right path to abundance.

I found this great arti­cle on how to develop and use a wealth-focused mind. It says a lot about how we should focus our energy and the com­mon mis­takes many aspiring-millionaires make.

Build­ing a Wealth and Pros­per­ity Mindset

From MetaphysicalTeachers.com

One sure way to boost your odds of becom­ing suc­cess­ful is to have a mind­set geared toward wealth and pros­per­ity. Why? Because the actions you take on a daily basis – right down to the amount of effort you put toward your goals – stem directly from your state of mind.

Believ­ing you can accom­plish some­thing is the first step in actu­ally doing it.

Unfor­tu­nately many of us pay lit­tle atten­tion to our mind­set, and end up cre­at­ing a whole lot of strug­gle and dif­fi­culty for our­selves in the process! The good news is that cre­at­ing a wealth and pros­per­ity mind­set can be achieved quickly and eas­ily with a lit­tle know-how and some determination.

This report will share some help­ful insights on:

• Exactly what a wealth and pros­per­ity mind­set is

• Why it’s vital to have one if you want to succeed

• How to develop your mind­set for wealth and prosperity

What is a Wealth and Pros­per­ity Mindset?

The com­mon def­i­n­i­tion of “mind­set” is: a men­tal atti­tude or incli­na­tion, or a fixed state of mind. So, a wealth and pros­per­ity mind­set would mean an atti­tude or incli­na­tion that causes us to focus on abundance.

It may sur­prise you to learn that most peo­ple focus on the oppo­site. They focus on want­ing more pros­per­ity, seek­ing greater wealth, and pur­su­ing both at any cost.

In other words, they focus on the fact that they do not yet have wealth or pros­per­ity, which means they actu­ally have a scarcity or poverty mind­set. They focus more on what they’re lack­ing, the things they can’t afford to buy, and even worse – feel­ing resent­ful toward peo­ple who are already wealthy.

Does this describe your gen­eral atti­tude, too? If so, don’t let it get you down! It’s actu­ally very com­mon to have this mind­set, and you can turn it around start­ing right now.

All you need is the will­ing­ness to start think­ing in a dif­fer­ent way and the courage to take actions based on this new way of think­ing. Don’t worry; you won’t have to take ground­break­ing actions; just one step at a time will move you in the direc­tion you want to go.

Many of you have been ask­ing me lately about how you can gen­er­ate pas­sive income with inter­net mar­ket­ing and what learn­ing resources I recommend.

A sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of you also asked related ques­tions in our pre­vi­ous survey.

The video below attempts to address some of the ques­tions raised and gives a quick expla­na­tion about why I think inter­net mar­ket­ing is such an amaz­ing skill to learn.

Watch it now:

Chain Reac­tion Marketing

To those of you who have asked for rec­om­men­da­tions on great inter­net mar­ket­ing learn­ing resources, here’s a brief expla­na­tion on what Chain Reac­tion Mar­ket­ing (which I rec­om­mend in the video) is all about.

Nearly every­thing you asked is answered in it.

Thing is, too many peo­ple start learn­ing pieces of the puz­zle about inter­net mar­ket­ing in a ran­dom way. The learn­ing is not struc­tured or organized.

Chain Reac­tion Mar­ket­ing is all about know­ing what the dif­fer­ent com­po­nents are and under­stand­ing how they work together in harmony

Below you can see them clearly start­ing from step #1: Get­ting Traf­fic, to step #6 Busi­ness Automa­tion.

Each step is explained in more detail here. Read the entire page very closely. The guys who came up with it are friends of mine, and they’re really good at this stuff.

You’ll learn a lot just by under­stand­ing how those 6 impor­tant steps work. I know I per­son­ally have.

It may sound a bit odd to make pas­sive income through Twit­ter but there are peo­ple doing it already. Whether they’re tweet­ing affil­i­ate links or using it as a mar­ket­ing tool to pro­mote their online busi­ness, Twit­ter is gain­ing in pop­u­lar­ity as a busi­ness means.

50 Twit­ter Tools and Tuto­ri­als For Design­ers and Developers

By Paul Andrew from Smash­ing Magazine

Twit­ter appears on innu­mer­able per­sonal and pro­fes­sional web­sites nowa­days, whether it is a sim­ple “Fol­low me” badge in the header or a dis­play of the author’s lat­est tweets in the side­bar. No longer a fad, Twit­ter is now a neces­sity for every web­site, not just for shar­ing your thoughts and keep­ing in touch with peo­ple, but also for mar­ket­ing, adver­tis­ing and even search­ing.

Hello,

As promised, I will be fol­low­ing up on some pas­sive income tac­tics using the inter­net, blog­ging, and affil­i­ate marketing.

As a starter, here is a great site that focuses on just affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing resources. I hope you guys find this ben­e­fi­cial. It’s great for new­bies and peo­ple who need a refresher.

“81 Use­ful Affil­i­ate Mar­ket­ing Resources

by Steven from Blogtrepreneur.com

Whilst the idea of sell­ing a prod­uct on behalf of another com­pany or per­son has existed for a long time, affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing itself was born in Novem­ber 2004, but has only really taken off in the past few years. New gen­er­a­tions of affil­i­ate mar­keters are rak­ing in mas­sive per month prof­its, and more peo­ple are start­ing to expe­ri­ence prof­its through this method. Here is a list (which is by no means defin­i­tive) to help you get started — please feel free to sug­gest any­more if you so wish!

Key­word Tools

If you are cre­at­ing web­sites, or even pages, to tar­get spe­cific affil­i­ate pro­grams you will need to know what key­words to tar­get. Addi­tion­ally, many affil­i­ates use PPC ads, which is heav­ily depen­dant on key­word research:

1. Google AdWords Key­word Tool — Get key­word sug­ges­tions with some search and com­pe­ti­tion stats.
2. Key­words Ana­lyzer — One of the lead­ing key­word tools, espe­cially for PPC mar­keters ($97).
3. Word­tracker — Another lead­ing key­word tool ($329 for one year sub­scrip­tion).
4. Wordze — Another subscription-based tool ($35/month).
5. Over­ture — A pop­u­lar key­word selec­tor tool.
6. SEO­Book — Sev­eral dif­fer­ent key­word tools. Read More…

I’ve got­ten quite a few emails and com­ments request­ing more infor­ma­tion on affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing and blog mon­e­ti­za­tion as a way to achieve pas­sive income.

Well, I’ve found a great site list­ing 101 blog­ging resources. It cov­ers every­thing from host­ing to mon­e­ti­za­tion to search engine opti­miza­tion (SEO).

I hope this list will ben­e­fit you. Stay tuned as I will go into the details of affil­i­ate mar­ket­ing, link cre­ation, and SEO to help you bring in your desired pas­sive income.

Let’s face it, friends.

Merely hav­ing a wealth mind­set is not going to get you very far. You can study all the per­sonal devel­op­ment mate­r­ial in the whole world, but if you don’t apply any of it in your life, noth­ing sig­nif­i­cant will change.

Your life won’t get better.

Even Bob Proc­tor teaches in his great pro­gram The 11 For­got­ten Laws, that the Law of Attrac­tion alone won’t get you far. You can be a super smart expert on the Law of Attrac­tion, but there are other laws you need to fol­low too.

Now, I’m glad over 160 of you responded to my quick sur­vey about what you’d like to learn. I’m also grate­ful that 65 of you (and count­ing) enjoyed my pre­vi­ous video about unlock­ing your wealth mind­set.

How­ever, look­ing at your replies and the emails I’ve received from many of you, it seems like I need to share one crit­i­cal fac­tor for suc­cess most of you maybe miss­ing.

With­out this abil­ity, you very prob­a­bly won’t gen­er­ate ade­quate income to live the life you desire.

In fact, you may even strug­gle in in your rela­tion­ships, find­ing a date, or even win­ning at a job interview.

Hint: It starts with ‘S’

How to Get Paid for Your Results

I highly rec­om­mend that you watch this video very closely. It’s time you started to imple­ment your wealth mind­set. This will help you get started the right way.

Enjoy it!

Please, tell me how are your ‘S’ abil­i­ties like, and how do you plan on improv­ing them?

Hint: It comes down to that ‘V’ word I men­tioned in the video.

Leave your answers below.

Peo­ple often ask how did you become so suc­cess­ful. And one of the things I always say is, “I read a lot.”

And not just about the mar­kets or real estate, but every­thing. I’ve often found that a lot of my great ideas come from read­ing up on suc­cess­ful peo­ple and the lat­est in entrepreneurship.

So here’s a list of 66 entre­pre­neur­ial books from The Toi­let Paper Entre­pre­neur that you should start read­ing. I didn’t even real­ize that some of these books had an affect on suc­cess. Such as Alice In Won­der­land or Charlotte’s Web.

Now I know some of you may think that auto­mated trad­ing is immensely risky but it can be an extremely prof­itable income stream.

So for those who are inter­ested, have a look at this arti­cle. It cov­ers the bare basics of auto­mated trad­ing cou­pled with some resources you can check out.

Remem­ber, this is only one way of cre­at­ing resid­ual income. If it doesn’t feel right to you, you can always try another way, such as rental units, blog­ging, or net­work marketing.

Auto­matic Income Poten­tial From Auto­mated Trading

From The Online Invest­ing AI Blog

In our quest to find meth­ods of pro­vid­ing resid­ual income–money that reli­ably lands at your feet month after month and year after year–we finally arrive at the last one we’ll study in this series.

To recap, we talked about own­ing rental units, invest­ing in div­i­dend stocks, invent­ing prod­ucts, and cre­at­ing dig­i­tal prod­ucts to secure resid­ual income and open the gates to finan­cial free­dom. Our last method may be the resid­ual income wave of the future.

Auto­mated trad­ing uses com­put­ers to auto­mat­i­cally place trades for you. These trades can be based on tech­ni­cal or fun­da­men­tal fac­tors, or any other stock-picking prac­tice. Alter­na­tively, a famous trader can send out posi­tion calls based on his or her own calls or methodology.

The calls are enacted nearly instan­ta­neously through inter­net tech­nol­ogy, so there’s very lit­tle lag between when the call is made and when the actual trans­ac­tion takes place.

Auto­mated Trad­ing offers busy investors and traders a chance to reap the high returns of trad­ing with the ease of automa­tion. It’s like hav­ing a high-return mutual fund. This isn’t just for stocks. Auto­mated trad­ing can be used with any asset: stocks, com­modi­ties, Forex, etc.

It’s everyone’s dream at some point or another. To cre­ate some­thing so amaz­ing you just live off the licens­ing fees or roy­al­ties with­out hav­ing to lift a fin­ger. Instead of clock­ing in your hours, you’re cruis­ing on your yacht off the coast of Monaco.

Sound too good to be true? For most peo­ple it is, but not you. Because you’ve already taken the first step by telling your­self you will live off resid­ual income and not waste your time slav­ing away for some­one else.

So if you’re cre­ative,  an inven­tor at heart, or even just good at repack­ag­ing an idea, you may want to look into this resid­ual income strat­egy. This arti­cle below gives you the pros, cons, and hows to cre­at­ing a prod­uct that will gen­er­ate you a prof­itable income stream.

“Cre­ate Prod­ucts For Income That’s Pas­sive And Massive

Ever have an idea to fix a prob­lem or sur­mount a chal­lenge and then see that very same prod­uct in a store a few years later?

And you think, “Hey, they stole my idea!”

Chances are, unless your tele­pathic pow­ers are fairly high-level, the inven­tor didn’t steal your idea. He or she just acted on the same con­cept that was float­ing around in the col­lec­tive con­scious. The dif­fer­ence is action.

If you have seen your ideas repro­duced later by other inven­tors, don’t be dis­cour­aged. In fact, you should be encour­aged. Here’s why:

Cor­rectly iden­ti­fy­ing needs and solu­tions is a good sign that you can be an inven­tor or a prod­uct devel­oper. To take that next step, you need to learn how to intro­duce your prod­uct into mar­ket. There are pri­mar­ily two ways to accom­plish this. You can either invent, pro­duce, and sell the prod­uct your­self; or, you can license the inven­tion to some­one else and col­lect a roy­alty, a per­cent­age of the sale of that product.

Most inven­tors pre­fer that lat­ter, since it’s more hands-off and inven­tors like to keep their “hands on” new ideas. It’s another form of resid­ual income that will help you secure your finan­cial freedom.
