Coastal Vacations Review – Vacation Bonanza or $11,000 Vacation Scam?

Coastal Vacations Review – Vacation Bonanza or $11,000 Vacation Scam?
Coastal Vacations could be a real vacation bonanza or it
could simply leave you with nothing but sand in your
pockets. With this in mind, I will be covering three
issues in this Coastal Vacations Review, that I feel are of
great importance to anyone looking to make money online,
which are:

1. Sponsor Support
2. Enrollment Fees
3. Customer Service.

I want to say here that if you are already involved in the
Travel Industry field and are a seasoned marketer, you
might do very well with Coastal Vacations, however, if you
are a new comer to Internet Marketing, you might find that
selling this package will be like selling ice to an Eskimo.

Coastal Vacations is located in Kissimmee, Florida and was
founded by a successful entrepreneur by the name of Fred
Combs. Combs clearly realized the upward growth of the
Travel and Leisure Industry, seized the day, and created
this travel-based company that offers vacations at reduced
rates.

Here are three issues that should be of importance to
anyone considering joining the Coastal Vacations
opportunity.

#1. Sponsor Support – With any Online Marketing
Business, your first two sales are with out a doubt the
hardest to get. With Coastal Vacations 2-Up program, your
first two sales, in the amount of $2,000 go directly to
your sponsor who recruited you. With Coastal, I found
there to be no compensation plan in place to make sure that
your sponsor stands by their new member. With no monetary
incentive in place for them to keep helping you, they most
assuredly will receive their $2,000 and be off to find the
next person to give them 2 qualified sales, leaving you are
flat out of luck my friend.

#2: Enrollment Fees: What’s so nice is that Coastal
Vacations offers three different payment levels of service.
The 3 packages include Domestic and International travel
options, where you earn $1000 - $9,705 per transaction.
The packages Level #1 costs $1295, then the enrollment fees
go all the way up to $11,000 and this $11,000 fee includes
Levels 1, 2 and 3.

#3. Customer Service: Here’s the deal, if someone
has a travel problem, you the Coastal Vacations Rep/Agent,
will be the one to handle it, period. There aren’t
any particularly good reports that I could find about
Coastal Vacations customer support system. I don’t
know about you but handling customer support issues is the
last thing I would want to be doing with my time.

In Conclusion, You should consider yourself to be a skilled
Internet Marketer with Coastal Vacations, because there is
no incentive in place for sponsors to teach and help the
newbies once past the $2,000 they receive from you. While
a few do make some money, the majority are either off to
the next home based business opportunity or back to focus
on their J.O.B. In order to make an income with any
Internet Marketing system you must have a dedicated sponsor
that will stand by you and teach you the ropes. A word of
advice here is to always check The Better Business Bureau
and other government agencies as they maintain lists of
coastal vacation scams you can review along with many other
home based business you might be thinking of joining.

Increase Page Rank: Another Google Myth flushed away with other BS!

Increase Page Rank: Another Google Myth flushed away with other BS!
In the search marketing world there is an addiction.
It’s the focus on the this green blocks that appear
on the google toolbar that is know as Page Rank or PR. Due
to the recent update of this counting system, which is
powered by Google, its time to review the real
understanding of PR. Some people are following
mis-information which doesn’t really help them get a
top ranking

Lets look at the base of information that is Google PR.
Much has been written and talked about over the years.
Google has used PR as a form of ranking system and, for a
long time is was seen as an important factor of getting
results . If you search for increase page rank you will
find many articles, features and opinions.

Enter 2007 and beyond, Google Page rank has spawned
services who sell links, based on the page rank system.
Some content sites with with good PR are selling focused
keyword text links to those who want links, as a way of
getting a higher ranking. Google has come out saying this
is essentially attempting to “buy a ranking” to
manipulate the search results.

Also submission to search directorys is seen as a valid way
of gaining backlinks .Pricing can be based on the Page Rank
of the home page of the directory. Here is a statement you
need to remember:

“Google ranks pages not web sites”

Remember when doing submissions to directory site and more
importantly paid listings, it’s the Page Rank of the
PAGE that the link is on, that is important. Keeping in
mind that it the internal page has a good ranking, it
should send traffic to your site too.

It is possible for internal pages to gain a higher page
rank than the home page. However keep in mind that if a
site has page rank (of some amount) then it is seen as
trusted source of information, both by visitors (if they
are webmasters) and by Google

So is there a way to increase PR and your ranking?

Firstly don’t focus on PR- in can be fickle and
misleading. It is subject to Google changing the rules,
which they reduced serveral times – at least once a
year. If you focus on creating reasons for Google search
engine spider, to come back, that by itself will help with
PR and ranking.

The simplest thing you can do is change and update your
pages. Keeping your pages fresh will be seen as new content
and bring back the google spider. The more this happens,
the more likely your PR will increase.

This is why blogs (in general) do well in natural search
results because they provide regular changing information.

This may seem blunt, but PR will not put money in your
pocket. You are best focused on building a site that is
100% search engine friendly and focusing on getting links
– you can’t go wrong.

The Power Of Faith In Your Online Business

The Power Of Faith In Your Online Business
How many millions of websites are there on the Internet?
Who knows? But, one thing that is for certain is that
behind every domain is a man, woman or company looking to
meet its own financial goals.

The trick of an article title like this one is that by
using the word "faith" in the title, many people will
automatically assume that it is an article about religion.
Having said that, it is important to note that this article
is NOT about religion.

This article is actually about "faith," which is entirely
separate from religion.

Do you have faith in your children that they will always do
the right thing? This kind of "faith" is an "absolute
belief" in the character and integrity of your children.
And that my friend is different from a "religious belief."

Do you have faith that the sun will arise in the East
tomorrow morning? This kind of "faith" is an "absolute
belief" in the processes of nature.

The Power Of The Sun In Teaching Faith

I am not talking about "faith" in the Egyptian sun god Ra
or the Greek sun god Apollo. Like I told you before, this
is not an article about religion. Instead, this article is
about faith and understanding the principles of faith.

Consider for a moment how you think about the sun. When you
go to bed each night, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt
that the sun will rise the next day. You know that if it is
dark outside, it is only a matter of hours before the sun's
light fills your day.

Think about how much confidence you have in the idea of the
sun rising tomorrow morning to light another day. Yes,
clouds might hide the sun from our direct view, but those
clouds cannot block all of the sun's light. Those clouds
might darken our skies, but they cannot prevent the sun
from rising.

If I had told you that the sun would not come up tomorrow
morning, then you would have known me to be a fool.

So how is it that you could so confidently think of me as a
fool, if I were to say the sun would not rise tomorrow
morning?

For the sake of argument, dwell for just a moment on the
absolute certainty that you have in your heart and mind
that the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

The feeling you have right now is what it really means to
have "faith."

An Unshakable Belief

As a child, I remember hearing stories about people who had
that absolute faith that things would go their way. I heard
one time about a preacher who had a faith beyond measure.
Yes, I am talking about a preacher, but I am still not
talking about religion.

The preacher had told his friends that he was going on a
trip the following Friday. But, his friends also knew that
he really did not have the money for such a trip, and they
said as much to the preacher.

The preacher told them that the money he needed for his
trip would be provided to him. Penniless and faithful, this
man had a real faith, even an unbreakable certainty that
his trip would become possible. For him, it was not a
matter of "if" he could get the money for his trip; it was
a matter of "he will have the money" in time for his trip.

On Thursday, the day before his scheduled trip, one of his
friends asked him if he had gotten the money for his trip
yet. The preacher dutifully said no, but assured his friend
that he would have the money in time for his trip.

Sure enough, Friday morning came, and his friend produced
enough money to ensure that the preacher's trip would go
off without a hitch.

Cheating You Say?

The preacher's faith paid off for him and his planned trip.
Sure, in this case the preacher's friend came through to
reward the preacher's faith. And one might try to argue
that it was not an act of "reliable" faith that produced
that result.

But as I look around at people I know, I see the principle
of faith at work in their lives.

Frequently I hear people tell me, "Clinton, this month we
will see a 20% increase in sales." And then it comes to
pass.

People tell me, "Clinton, my business will generate a
quarter million in sales this year," and then it happens.

My mentors tell me that the first step to success is
setting measurable goals and believing with an unshakeable
faith that those outcomes will come to fruition.

Poppycock

For years, I had believed that this faith thing was just a
bunch of poppycock. Then one day, I convinced myself that a
particular goal was within my reach. Things had been going
my way, so I decided that I would earn $500 per month
online, to supplement my families tight financial resources.

My faith was unshakeable; I knew in that moment that I
would make $500 that month and each month thereafter. And
then it happened.

Yes, I was able to have an unbreakable belief in myself
with my small goal, and then I was able to realize that
small goal. Soon after, I promptly forgot about my newfound
manifestation of faith.

Just like many other people, when I finally learned and
manifested the principle of faith for the first time, I
thanked chance for delivering the goods.

Realizing The Power Of Faith In My Online Business

One day, I looked back and realized that chance may have
not been in play to bring me my previous success. I
considered the possibility that perhaps faith did have a
role after all. So, I created a new goal. And then I built
up my faith, practicing the belief that what I desired
would come true. I set a goal to earn as much from my
online business, as I did each week from my daytime job.
Within the next few weeks, I built up my confidence level.

One day, the light just came on. I knew deep in my heart
that my goal would be realized. In that moment, I realized
within myself an unshakeable belief that I would reach my
goal.

Within a few days, my online sales began to increase to a
level that was required for me to manifest my stated goal.

The Human Condition

Unbreakable faith had delivered twice for me, and yet I let
it pass another six months before I tried again. So soon we
forget and return to a condition of disbelief.

My wife and I had been talking about taking a family
vacation, but we really did not have the money to do so.
Within just a few days, I realized that the power of faith
could deliver a family vacation for my family, so I made a
decision to earn $12,000 to pay for a vacation to remember.

This time, I did not have to prepare myself to accept the
faith that my desire would come true. I just decided in
that instant that I would earn the money needed for our
family getaway.

How did it work out?

Within the next seven days, my business earned $18,000 in
pure profit. It truly was a vacation of a lifetime for my
family and I.

Remembering The Sunrise

When you learn to manifest the power of faith in your own
life and your business, you also will reap the rewards of
faith.

However you define your goals and success in your own life,
they will come true, once you make the decision to believe
with unwavering faith that your goals will become a reality.

are dealing with. We want to offer you a wide variety of
knowledge, insight, and help in deciding which home based
business opportunity is the right fit for you and how to
better prepare yourself into looking for the right
opportunity. I learned this lesson very fast in the home

also seized another great home business because I stayed
open minded about what is out there and decided to hear out
opportunities if I could see myself developing a passion
about that home based business opportunity. We urge you to
fully investigate any home based business opportunity
before signing up.

Marketing

Marketing a company’s product through their Affiliate

opportunity. One of the most important ways for a company

Affiliate

Affiliate programs are generally run by e-commerce sites
looking for ways to increase their sales. Affiliates are
paid a percentage of each sale they generate. As an
affiliate, you essentially become part of the
company’s sale force, but you work on commission. As
an affiliate, the first thing you will need is a Web site
where you can display the promotional information for the
company you work for. That is why, if you are in an
affiliate program, you need to work on increasing your
traffic. If you want to generate multiple streams of
income through various affiliate programs while not having
to worry about creating and marketing a product of your own
just yet, the site will do for you financially what it has
done for countless others in your situation.

A home based business opportunity has provided the 'dream
lifestyle' for many people. How do you know that you have
chosen the right home based business opportunity?
It’s vitally important when considering a home based
business opportunity that there is a good support structure
behind it. It’s a good idea to write a business plan
once you have decided on a home based business opportunity
that you want to pursue. I’ve modeled my own online
business success and marketing after proven successful
internet marketers, business marketing consultants and self
made Internet Business Millionaires.

Network Marketing Career Path - My Story

Network Marketing Career Path - My Story
As a bank president I teach how to replace my six figure
income with six figure residual income by following a five
step plan I developed within a very simple business model.
This remarkable journey has changed my life. I am not the
person I was three years ago, not even close. I now define
success and freedom in a new way. As a professional,
successful in another career, I chose to become a part of
the growing network of independent distributors. And while
each person’s story is written differently, many
careers begin at a time when they are deliberately headed
down other paths. I spent years in my chosen field climbing
what I thought was the ladder of success rung by rung.

So why did I already successful in an advanced career with
realized personal and professional success leave the
corporate world to become a network marketer? What was it
about this amazing opportunity that made me want to leave
the familiar path I knew and begin traveling in a new
direction?

I believe there are several factors about network marketing
that captured my attention – and – imagination
– then made me a committed member of my organization.

As a banker I had spent my career helping people. I liked
the thought of helping people grow strong financially. I
felt I was partnering with them in their quest for success
and directed them to the best of my ability. I feel as
though financial worries are a great source of stress in
people’s lives. During the banking years I guided
people away from network marketing because I did not see
how they could make it work. Now I spend my time and new
found energy helping people understand the value of
building a leveraged source of income. There are basically
four ways to earn: a job – pay stops when you do, own
a conventional business – high risk, long hours, and
high failure rate, investment – good way but we need
money to invest and most people do not have extra income (I
teach it as a secondary source after network marketing
income begins to flow.), or building a life long freedom
and legacy with residual income.

Personally this journey has provided independence – I
work my own hours, making my own schedule. This gives me
the personal freedom to spend in areas of my life that I
choose. As I write this, my husband and I are on an Alaska
cruise with our six grandchildren. Without the income I
have been able to generate we could not have enjoyed these
special times, building lifelong memories for them and for
us.

I derive satisfaction from my association with a company
that recognizes the importance of contributing to our
global community. I treasure my ability to partner with
others to help those in need. People working together truly
can change the world.

I am also enriched through our increased personal capacity
to give back. God has richly blessed my husband and me and
we have a deep desire to share resources within our
community helping to build it strong. We had given some
land for a new YMCA. Feasibility studies said concluded we
could only raise about 4 million but we raised about 8.2
million which was still a bit short of the goal to include
a child care center our community so badly needed. Because
of my network marketing earnings we were able to contribute
an extra 100k toward the center and with other additional
contributions it was added back into the plan. Today we are
at capacity of 90 children with over 200 on a waiting list.
We were also able to give a lead gift of the needed amount
for a down payment on a building for a women’s
resources in an adjacent community. This allowed them the
ability to provide educational programs and safe homes for
victims of domestic violence. We have been able to give
beyond tithing, often with matching pledges to encourage
others to give as well.

I live now more and more in a state of gratitude and love
and my life is enhanced every time I have an opportunity to
mentor and teach. We all like to feel that we carry
valuable knowledge and experience that we can pass along to
others. We respect the teacher, aspire to become the
teacher. Being a network marketing distributor is precisely
that. As part of a team of network marketers, I don’t
have to worry about competing with someone for my financial
future and employment security. I am my competition. I am
the one challenging me to excel, to strive for more, and I
know that others in the organization want me to succeed
because they too believe in abundance. Like the great game
of baseball, we know it as well as network marketing
requires teams made up of many players of different skills
and talents, all working towards the same goal of a
championship. We each have our talents and skills and we
all have the opportunity to achieve greatness, to hit home
runs and be stars, to be recognized for what we as
individuals can accomplish. And we do best; we achieve
most, when the players work together as part of a strong
team.

So here we stand in today with network marketing growing
exponentially throughout the world. We are joined each and
every day by those who want something more for themselves
and their families. They want something better for their
communities. And while we may each have started our lives
heading down different paths, we now walk the same path,
sharing the same hopes and wishes - a desire for personal
success and security. American writer Henry David Thoreau
once wrote that “If you have built castles in the
air, your work need not be lost…Now put foundations
under them.” That foundation – strong and
secure – is my network marketing business, and I am
proud to be a part of it.


----------------------------------------------------
I had spent my banking career making others successful now
I am charting my own destiny - climbing my own ladder of
success. And I am loving the journey!

2 Steps To Making Fast Money That Lasts

2 Steps To Making Fast Money That Lasts
Be prepared to take a pen and paper and write notes because
these are two very valuable things that are essential to
you if you are wanting to make money fast over the internet.

We will be diving into two essential things you must do if
you want to see how you can make money fast with your
online business.

Here are the two Must Haves to Set Up a Business to Make
Money Fast!

Necessity # 1: You must have a very captivating website.

Having a well done website means that your site is nice,
but not overdone. You may be thinking to yourself, well
that’s great but I have never made a website and have
no clue how to do so. The good news and answer to this
question is there are very inexpensive services that are
under $40/month that make it very simple to create a catchy
website that will even allow you to put an audio, picture,
as well as video together in as little as a few minutes to
an hour or two, literally! Some examples of a couple of
services out there include marketingburst and marketing
makeover generator.

Now any website that you use to market online should have a
capture page that has an autoresponder built into it. The
autoresponder allows you to send emails to your list on a
daily basis on your behalf. If you use marketingburst or
marketing makeover generator, they have this covered. You
simply add some emails in there and let it take care of the
rest.

Necessity # 2: Generating Highly Targeted Traffic to Your
Site.

Now that your website has been completed correctly, it is
time to put on your advertising cap. It is not enough just
to advertise, you must target the right people. Even if
you had the best product or service in the universe, if you
are not targeting the right people, you will fail. When you
drive massive targeted traffic to your high converting
website, you will start to make some money in a very fast
and short time frame!

So how do we get targeted traffic to our website?

First off, you will want to conduct some indepth research
on who your customers will be and the type of thoughts or
questions they might be searching for on the internet? For
example, maybe you are selling a book on making money on
eBay. Less than targeted traffic essentially means you
don’t go into detail and would be targeting someone
who is maybe simply searching for making money. Targeted
traffic is when you actually are going a step farther and
targeting specifically making money on eBay, how to make
money on eBay, make money fast on eBay, etc.

Once you have done your research, you should use several
different, but effective ways of advertising. You could
submit an article about how to make money fast utilizing
eBay. You could also write a press release about your new
book on making money on eBay. These are a couple of
outstanding ways to create hits to your site. They will
help you get your website in the numerous search engines on
the keywords and topics you write about.

There are some other minor characteristics you can use to
help you in making money fast online, but if you use the
above two characteristics on a consistent basis, you should
start to see some phenomenal success!
