Chapter 2 - Control Freak - Excerpt Magic of Faith

The narrator, I Glorious, is a Magic Genie Faith Builder.


You wouldn’t believe how much mail I am getting.

One reader wrote saying that while he did find me irascible and sort of irrepressible, he did not find me in the least irreverent and he was disappointed. Wait, I am just getting warmed up.

Another would be reader wrote asking if having Faith would get him off the pills he was taking for some unknown illness that had rendered him impotent. I already told you people that I don’t do diseases and I don’t do sex. I am a Faith builder not a Faith healer. I have no body. I am nobody and the only thing I know about sex is the result of vicarious experiences from other people’s hi jinks. Believe me, none of it was very thrilling. Please don’t make me repeat myself. My life span is infinite and I could end up saying the same thing hundreds of thousands of times.

Some foreign reader wrote to me in French. I have no idea what he was talking about. I only remember a few words of French which were part of my title when I was in the mind of some big Whig who was a Minister Without Portfolio during the French Revolution. If you want to ask me a question please write to me in English or Spanish. I do speak a little Spanish from the character I am presently playing in a novel called The Magic Pill. I don’t understand why all people can’t speak a common language. They all have the same hopes, desires and dreams

Who was the nitwit that wrote saying certain religions don’t believe in Magic. Why can’t you cowards leave your name? I don’t give a damn what the rules are or what the hell you think for that matter. There, is that irreverent enough for you. I am prepared to use any trick in the book, and that includes the Big Book to make you have Faith. I will use any gimmick I can think of. I am a Gimmicktician you know, an inventor of words as you can see, and am proud of it.

You may think I am trifling with your emotions with all the Q & A, but I am only trying to get you relaxed enough so that you will be able to handle the Faith building lessons I am about to give you.

Lesson Number 1 – Think of someone you know who is worse off than you are. Try and help them anonymously. That means don’t let them know it is you that is helping to make their life a little better. That way they won’t end up hating you for your act of charity. You have to have Faith this will help you in the long run because no one is going to know about it in the near term. This way at least when you add up what you have done with your life you won’t end up feeling like a total Zero. Yes, I am condescending. It is my nature. There, don’t you feel better already?

Lesson Number 2 – If you are scared of the dark, close your eyes and think of the sun beaming down on you on a bright sandy beach with clear blue waters lapping at the shore. This will probably work until you open your eyes and see that it is still dark. It is best to relax and go to sleep having Faith that when you wake up in the morning you will be facing a bright tomorrow. I love this, don’t you?

Lesson Number 3 – Don’t be afraid to think with your heart as well as your mind. I am controlling what is going on now so I won’t let you make a mistake, at least not a big one. If you mess up anyway don’t worry. Having Faith means being willing to take chances, No one is perfect. Everyone messes up some of the time. There, doesn’t knowing its OK to make a mistake make you feel less tense? Aren’t you happier now?

Stop trying to be perfect. Stop trying to do everything right. Life includes many randomly selected outcomes. Like everything else this is God’s will. The only one I know that is nearly perfect is me. Since I am working with your mind now this is about as close to perfect as you are going to get. Don’t you feel better knowing this? This Faith building thing has it’s own rewards.

Lesson 4 – Never give people more than 4 lessons in any one session. It is tempting fate. Most people can’t remember more than 4 things at a time. Do you remember what we just talked about? Don’t worry sometimes I don’t remember either. I am constantly distracted with all your thoughts jabbering at me at the same time. Just be patient. Eventually your brain waves will stop competing with everyone else, and you will be able to listen to me only. There, doesn’t that give you peace of mind?

Random Ramblings
I met a businesswoman recently who was a real control freak. She always had to be in control of everything; her husband, her employees, even her children. She was so intent on being in control that it made her very nervous. She developed a bright red rash on her face replete with whiteheads. Her doctors diagnosed her as having emotionally induced acne. Her employees stopped respecting her so the Board of Directors of her Company demoted her to Company Librarian where she could hide her head in the archives. Her husband left her. Her children were so embarrassed they refused to let her drive them to school and started hitching rides on motorcycles driven by members of the juvenile division of the Hells Angels. She became an emotional wreck and went totally out of control. She dyed her hair purple, green, red and yellow, and dressed in a full-length dungaree jacket with the words – This is the start of the Peacock Revolution silk screened in four colors on the back. No one knew what this meant. No one Cared any more. It just goes to show you that you can’t always be in control. God is the only one who really has control. Relax, life is good. Go with the flow, be Patient, have Faith. Things will work out without you being in the driver’s seat all the time.

To find your Faith you first have to believe in yourself. Start taking tiny steps to build your confidence. How can you believe in the Almighty if you don’t believe in yourself? You were made in his image weren’t you?

Take time to look around. What do you see? People fighting, people with fear in their eyes and terror in their hearts. You don’t see many happy people. That’s because they don’t have Faith. They don’t have a sense of humor. Woe is me, where has all the magic gone. Don’t worry, we are going to find faith together.

Maybe God Is An Alien

I know in my heart that God is real and is always with us, but have you ever stopped to consider that the reason He knows everything is that he might be a time traveler who has gone back and forth throughout out history, and therefore knows everything that has happened and will happen to us. Maybe He changes what happens to us as He goes along.

He is definitely, in my opinion foreign to our understanding, and thus in my opinion an alien.

The question, I think, is how much has He been an active participant in our development as opposed to just an observer to the fact of humanities existence.

To my way of thinking He has always been an active creator/participant in our development because he has brought us knowledge in the form of the bible – a code to live by – a distinct set of rules. He wouldn’t have bothered to enlighten us to this extent if He didn’t care about us.

He also brought us dogma, making it easier for primitive entities such as ourselves to have a framework in which to live our lives with relative meaning. God wouldn’t have bothered to do this unless He saw our need for structure in our lives.

I wonder how we appear to God? Do we look like lost souls searching for the meaning of life? Does He feel we will ever reach a point where we will be intelligent enough to understand His meaning and magnificence?

Is God waiting for us to reach a certain point in our development when we will be able to grasp the concept of what He is? Maybe our thirst for knowledge in the form of technology and new computer programs and the theories of quantum computing are all making it possible to draw closer to an understanding of God as opposed to pulling us father apart.

We humans must appear to God, in his travels through the universe, through infinite time, to be a funny lot. We speculate as to His meaning, yet we worship his glory without fully understand why He is the guiding presence in our lives.

Maybe we too one day will advance to a stage where we can travel through space and time, or is the very concept of His having made us in God’s image too difficult for us to fully grasp? Is the idea of God alien to us, or do we have enough faith to believe in the righteousness of what God has in mind for us? Will we ever develop to the point where we understand?

The Futures Market On Christmas & New Years

All three major indexes are up the sky’s the limit on the coming Holidays. They are very bullish on the coming of Christmas and New Years.

Smart investors full of faith and hope are convinced that the Holidays are coming once again this year bringing with them people of good cheer and an abundant faith in the future.

So what if the economy is in rocky shape we have survived recessions before.

So what if people are a little depressed over the loss of jobs, things are definitely going to get better, aren’t they?

So what if we can’t spend as much money on presents as the year before, that is not what the Holiday is all about, is it?

It’s getting to be that time of year when we should take a few moments out of our busy lives to count our blessings. You are blessed, aren’t you? You must if you and your family are still around to read this.

Let’s no waste time worrying about what could have been. Let’s spend our time planning on what we are going to do differently in the future.

Let’s spend our time promising to polish up our faith.

Let’s spend our time being thankful for the blessings that we do have.

Now is the season of unlimited potential. Isn’t it wonderful that so much good can come of us developing the promise that each one of us possesses to do good deeds and care about each other.

Now is the season to throw off the inhibitions that have kept us from being all that we can be.

Now is the time to make the most of our talents and knowledge.

Now is the time for all of us to use our imaginations to create a vision of how we want our lives to be and then make the effort to see that our dreams come true.

We can do it. We can make the Holidays the happiest time we have ever had. We can come together in the spirit of the Holiday and make miracles happen.

Are you ready to have some fun?

May your dreams come true.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

How Do I Find Answers To My Questions?

I am tired of searching around and looking for experts to answer my questions. I need help and I need it now. I need advice that doesn’t come with a price tag. I need to know answers to:

1. How do I find the love of my life?
2. How do I live longer, happier and healthier?
3. How do I prevent disease?
4. How do I manage disease?
5. How do I make a contribution to society?
6. How do I do something worthwhile with my life?
7. How do I have more fun?
8. How do I stop being lonely?
9. How do I achieve my goals in life?
10. How do I make my dreams come true?
11. How do I find happiness?
12. How do I find faith?

And that’s not all. There is so much more I want to know. I think we all have a lot of questions that we need to find the answers to. I want these answers from people who know because they have the life experiences that taught them the answers, not from someone that read about it in a book or learned it in a Masters program. I want real life answers to my questions, not theoretical dissertations. I want a non-expert expert to answer my questions.

What do you want? Do you want some professor telling you how to bake a cake or would you rather hear it from a baker who bakes cakes every day for a living?

Do you want some medical journal telling you about some natural herb that may cure what ails you or would you like to hear it from someone who has been healed by using a particular natural herb or supplement?

Do you want some expert telling you how to invest your money after the debacle we have just gone through in the stock market or would you rather rely on the advice of real people – non-expert experts - who have increased their net worth even in these markets?

Do you want to be charged by some expert to tell you something you already know and just want to be reassured about, or would you like to be assured by someone who has been there and done that.

We all have a lot of questions, but who can we rely on to give us the right answers?

Some Things You Just Can’t Patch Together

People are not like a bunch of old cloths that you can mend by sewing patches on the torn parts. People are different.

Then why are we trying to patch ourselves together with patches to help us stop smoking, eating too much, and taking various kinds of medication in patch form. It isn’t natural.

I think that the only kind of patch that we really need is a patch of faith: something that will remind us of the place that God can play in our lives, something that will give us comfort, and help us believe in the power of the Almighty to help us cure ourselves of afflictions and addictions.

I know that sometimes it is hard to believe in that which we cannot see so the symbolic use of a patch of faith may be the only type of patch you will ever need to help you cure yourself of what ails you.

I know that having faith and believing is hard sometimes when the weaknesses of our bodies drain us of our God given strength.

We need to find faith in the hope that we can stop patching ourselves together. We need to believe and to try again. We need to have faith in ourselves and in God.

Sometimes the will is strong, but the body is stronger. It is times like these when a patch of faith can help us hold ourselves together. It is times like this when a patch of faith can help mend our souls. It is times like this when a patch of faith can work miracles.

I’m Listening As Hard As I Can

I’m listening as hard as I can, but the silence is deafening. Why won’t you talk to me? Don’t you have something to say to me?

Every once in a while I hear a tiny whisper; a little murmur, as if you were trying to say something, trying to communicate, trying to form a union or meeting of our minds, but I can’t understand you.

Won’t you please speak up?

I know you have vast knowledge and important things to say. I know you mean well and have my best interests at heart. I know you love me, but why can’t I hear you.

Won’t you please speak up?

In my mind I imagine we are talking and smiling and laughing together, but I can’t quite catch your drift. What are you saying that is making me laugh? Why are you smiling? Your thoughts are not clear to me.

Won’t you please speak up?

Sometimes I feel as if we are passing in separate canoes down a raging river shouting something at each other, but the roar of the rushing waters keeps me from hearing you, and it keeps us apart.

Won’t you please speak up?

Sometimes I feel like we are strangers passing each other on our way home from work at night without a word or a nod of greeting. I know you know me, and I know you. Why won’t you recognize my virtue? Why don’t you say what is in your heart?

Won’t you please speak up?

There are times when I feel all alone, yet in the back of my mind I know you are there. Can’t you feel my desire? Don’t you know I want to embrace? Where are you? Don’t leave me here all alone. I need to know you are there.

Won’t you please speak up?


Is this the way it is always to be between us? Will out petty prejudices and hang-ups keep us apart? Are we never to know the beautiful music we could make together as we interact? Have you no mercy?

Won’t you please speak up?

Sometimes when I am asleep, I dream that we are together; gathered in a beautiful field of nature’s grand design. And we are holding hands, and talking to each other and singing sweet songs of happiness.

In my dreams I can hear you. I can hear what you are shouting to me. I agree. It’s time we came together. It’s time we made love, not war. It’s time we stopped our petty squabbling about different traditions we do not even remember the reason for. It’s time we remembered how we started, and that in the beginning we were of one desire. Together we can make a difference. Together we can change the world. Together we can make something wonderful happen.

It’s time we both spoke up.

Ten Reasons You’re Not Smart Enough To Work At Home

If you are reading this you probably have already made a mess of your efforts to work at home. Please be aware that this is an attempt to tell it to you as it is. This is not for the feint of heart. That is probably why you got in trouble trying to work from home to begin with. This is where you find out what you are doing wrong, and what you can do to change it.

Here are ten reasons your not smart enough to work at home and what you can do to turn yourself into a self made work at home success story.

1. You’re a sucker – That’s right, you fall for every get rich quick scheme that comes along. Don’t listen to that nonsense that you can make thousands of dollars a week doing nothing. In most cases the only one getting rich here is the con artist selling you that get rich quick pitch. Start to use your head and learn to rely on the instincts that got you this far in your life. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. Don’t be a sucker.


2. You’re not computer literate – Join the club. That’s how most people start out on the Internet. If you nine-year-old child or grandchild can operate a computer, and navigate their way around the Internet so can you. Get some free lessons from your kids or friends. You don’t need to know that much to get started. The rest you can learn as you go.

3. You freeze up – Are we talking sexually or when you have to follow a command on the Internet? What did you do when your boss at work told you to do something? Did you freeze up or try and accomplish the task set out for you.


4. You keep reading – And reading and reading. There is so much information out there that it is confusing you. You don’t know what to believe. Start doing something. Experience will win out over reading about it time after time. Take some action.


5. You can’t decide – Is your problem you can’t decide what to have for lunch, or what business to go into working at home? Try and find something that you like to do, something that fits in with your interests and hobbies. Make a decision.


6. What do you sell – Who said you had to sell anything. Maybe you should give your information away and rely on pay per click income or affiliate sales once you create traffic to your site, or maybe you just want to sell the Web site or blog because due to the brilliant information you are dispensing you are getting a lot of traffic. Get some traffic first.


7. You have no Web site – You can find someone to put it up for you called a Web master or you can get an affiliate site to sell other people’s products for very little, or you can start a blog, which you can do without knowing any html. Setting up a blog is as simple as painting by the numbers. Give yourself a voice on the Internet. Set up a blog.


8. You don’t have an address- Do you mean you are homeless or you don’t have a domain name? If it is the former you are going to have real problems working from home. If it is the later you can buy one for a few dollars. First decide what you want to offer. Some people have even set up online businesses working from Internet public access from the library. Stop using excuses.


9. You don’t have a product – You do, but you don’t know what it is yet or how to make it. Somewhere rolling around in your mind is the knowledge to make an information product in the form of an e-book you can sell or give away to get more traffic to get people to buy something else. You are the product.


10. You’re not organized – Now you are starting to tell the truth. Make a list of things you need to do to start your own work at home business. What you need is a plan and some good advise. Would you change jobs without a plan or checking out what you are doing with someone you trust? Get an organizer and use it to make a plan.


Starting to work at home on the Internet is only going to work if you employ the skills that got you to this point in your life to begin with. It doesn’t matter if you are a stay at home parent, a retired Baby Boomer, or recently kicked out of a shrinking work force. Working at home in your own business, you are the new boss. You set your on hours, come up with your own products, and market your ideas on the Internet based on your knowledge, skills, and willingness to learn new things. If you do this right, plan it out, and rely on yourself and sound advise to find the right answers, you will be become smart enough to be successful working from home. Now let’s get started.

The Big Tom Tom Beat Of Desire

Please feel free to use this article as long as you give credit to my resource box.
© Copyright Arthur Levine
Words: 603
Keywords: Desire, God, New Beginning, Faith, Holidays


I could feel it stirring in me. Pulsing stronger and stronger. I wanted it more than I had ever wanted anything before. I desired it. I craved it. All I had to do was to reach out and grab it when no one was looking.

I was ten years old, and it was the most beautiful, powerful yellow water pistol I had ever seen in my whole life. I tried to tell myself that the toy storeowner would never miss it, but I knew better. I tried to tell myself that I would come back some day and pay for it. The price tag said it was only $3.98. Maybe I could save that much from my allowance, but I knew I wouldn’t.

I just took it anyway. I jammed it into my book bag. I gave into my desire. I could feel the drumbeat in my head saying, tom, tom; you’re a bad boy. Tom, tom, you’re a bad boy.


I ran almost all of the way home. The fear and the guilt was really getting to me. Later that evening I lay in my bed wondering what to do. That drumbeat just kept going on and on in my head. I think I can still feel it now; that tom, tom beat of desire and guilt all mixed together.

When I woke up in the morning, I ran out into the back yard and buried my beautiful water pistol in a little hole I dug, and then covered it up with dirt so no one would ever discover that I was a sinner. I never got to enjoy that water pistol, and I never got over feeling guilty about taking it. There are some drumbeats of conscience that don’t go away.

I am all grown up now some people would say. And when the dreaded tom, tom beat of desire grabs hold of me for one reason or another, I remember my toy water pistol. I remember how guilty I felt. I have learned to control my emotions most of the time, but not to quell them. There is so much more I want to learn and to do, but it has to be the right way.

If only I knew what was all right to do. If only those dreaded drumbeats would go away. For now I think I have things under control, but nobody knows when the drumbeats of desire will hit again. Nobody knows how he or she will react. Is any one ever really in control, or is God the only one that is truly in control.

As we enter this season of new beginnings, can you honestly say that you can control your emotions, passions and desires? You may be marching to a different drumbeat than I, but there are still things you want and desire, aren’t there? How do you know when it is all right to reach out and grab them?

I think the best way to decide what is right from what is wrong is to ask yourself, “What would God want me to do?”

If you have enough faith I am sure you will come up with the right answer. Enjoy the holidays. The best is yet to come. It’s going to give all of us sinners the opportunity for a new beginning.

The Troubled Little Geese Of Christmas

One little Goose turned to another as they sat near the edge of a golf course that was covered in a half an inch of fresh snow and said, “My friend we should have gone South before it became so cold. I am afraid our wings will freeze up if we try and make the trip now.”

The other little Goose responded, “And do you expect a less icy reception in the South. Everybody hates us. We are welcome nowhere.”

“Why is that asked Goose number 1”?

“I think it is because there are too many of us, and we create a mess wherever we go. Besides people think of us as just Geese who don’t count for much,” answered Goose number 2.

"But I thought that in the spirit of Christmas people would be more willing to look kindly on the least amongst us”?

“I know, I know, but life is not always what it is supposed to be. We will have to learn to accept our circumstance with grace and good will to all at this holiday season.”

“I find it hard to accept our lot in life as it is. I don’t believe that this is the way God would want things to be. He is full of kindness and mercy. Perhaps if we pray to Him he will hear our prayers and help others to understand our plight.”

“I hope so my friend. My tail feathers are starting to freeze. I am afraid of what will happen to us in the future. We have no food. There is no one who wants to help us. We disturb there celebrating, impose on their happy times and impinge on their holiday spirit.”

“I believe it won’t always be like this my friend. One day people will be full of the goodness that God designed them to have. Then even little Geese like us will have a place in this society. Then even we will be able to find some happiness for our families and some sense of security. Then even us poor little Geese will not be discriminated against especially at this time of giving and kindness that represents the true spirit of Christmas.”

“Are there other groups such as us that are discriminated against even at Christmas time”?

“Yes there are, but most of them are human.”

“Do you think people will ever understand that we have feelings too”?

“I think they will soon. I think that as soon as the spirit of Christmas spreads its wings of joy over all of God’s people that they will begin to recognize that even little Geese or any other minority group have their place in God’s Kingdom, for in caring about them we can become more than we were. We can become what God intended us to be.

Have a very happy Christmas Holiday, and please don’t forget all the little Geese amongst us; they come in so many different types and shapes that sometimes it is hard to remember that they have feelings.

How To Cope With Fires And Terrorism

HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR FAITH?


Do you have enough faith in God to help you cope with the troubles of our time?

Are you a good and worthwhile person who is entitled to find God’s grace?

When was the last time you prayed to God for the peace of mind to make you feel secure?

Today we are bombarded by natural disasters and acts of terrorism. How can we hope to cope with the insecurity of our time if we don’t have faith in God and in His goodness and mercy?

I’m not talking about the faith that we salve ourselves with by going to a Church or Mosque or Temple. I am talking about the true feelings of your heart and mind.

Are you really a person of faith?

Do you practice what is preached to you?

Are you kind and caring to other people?

Do you truly love your fellow man?

Are you willing to accept your neighbors right to believe in God in his or her own way?

It is only by answering these questions positively that we can hope to become people of faith.

It is only by trusting in God and trying to be kind and caring that we can hope to find and nourish our faith.

When we begin to have faith in God we will start to find the peace of mind we strive for. We will begin to feel the state of bliss that a true Person of Faith has. We will begin to learn how to cope with the troubles of the time we live in. We will begin to feel secure.

Are you ready to find your faith and feel wonderful?

Are you ready to have faith in God?

Hurry, God may be waiting to hear from you.

Johnny Oops – In The Beginning

Are you wondering how you got here, don’t worry, so am I. I guess the fine hand of my author has his presence branded in my mind, but I don’t care because it is my imagination that is going to take us where we are going.

I am not about to tell you too much about my character in my novel, because I don’t want you to know too much about it until it is published. All I remember is that I started off as a gangly twelve year old boy who kept banging into things, thus the nickname Oops, and spent way to much time in the bathroom doing what twelve year old boys do until I grew up and became a womanizer. I will leave the rest to your imagination. You do have one, don’t you? You do know what I’m talking about, don’t you?

Do any of us really know what we are doing or where we are going? I don’t have a clue until I start to write. Then the path well trodden in my imagination takes hold of me and I am propelled into a new reality that constantly changes with different hues of emotion and feeling. Isn’t it wonderful? It colors my judgment. It makes me feel fulfilled. Maybe that will happen to you. All you have to do is use your imagination. I know. I am the messenger, and I have the ‘word’. You can rely on what I have to say. Count on it.

Let’s get one thing straight. I am only revealing my innermost thoughts to you because I want to get published. That’s right, I want someone to hear my words of wisdom and publish my novel, Johnny Oops. Can anyone hear me?

Check out my blog. That’s where the real action is about to take place. Something really weird is about to happen to me. I wish I knew what it was.

Develop A Second Income

Feel free to use this article if you give credit to the resource box.
© Copyright Arthur Levine 2007
Keywords: Second Income, Become Secure, Work At Home, Shop At Home, Save Money, Have Faith, Make Money
Words: 520


Now may be the time to develop a second income and avoid some of the financial insecurities that come with a credit crunch, falling home prices, and a volatile stock market.

We can’t control the markets, but we can plan for the future by developing a second income that will make us more secure and less vulnerable to economic events that we can’t control.

I know that some of you have been thinking along theses lines, but have held off developing a second income because you are worried that you don’t have enough time, don’t know what to do, don’t have money to invest in starting a business, and fear you lack the skills to start your own business as a sideline working from home on the Internet.

Don’t let these phantom fears keep you from finding the income security you are entitled to. Have a little faith in yourself and your unique abilities. There are a number of things you can do on the Internet that cost practically nothing, or are free. You can get started with little or no investment depending on what you want to do.

If you feel you have experience and are interested in letting people know about a particular product or service or want to sell them information, you can get your own Website set up for free that requires only a small monthly maintenance fee, which can provide you with the opportunity to promote your own product or service while enjoying multiple pre programmed sources of income.

If you don’t have a particular expertise, you can still develop a substantial second income absolutely free by setting up your own shopping mall on the Internet and inviting others to join you. You earn money on every on line purchase you make on your own shopping mall, and you get an override on all the purchases the people you invited to join you make on their own shopping malls. You do enjoy shopping, don’t you?

Either way, it’s a win, win situation. You may actually reach the point where the second income you develop becomes large enough for you to stop working at your regular job, and you can do all this from the comfort of your own home at little or no cost, depending on which work at home opportunity you choose. Don’t miss this opportunity to develop a second income, and become more secure. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure a brighter future for yourself and your loved ones. Develop a second income.

5. Exercise your life balance options
6. Show your creative side

In some cases men and women have found work at home opportunities that fit in better with their special interests and likes. They have carved out their own niche on the Internet doing and talking about what they are interested in. Many of these people have become known as experts in their niche market of choice. And many of them have created a loyal following who seek out their knowledge on a particular topic and or buy products related to their special are of expertise.

It isn’t often that you can do what you like, work at home, and make money doing so at the same time, but with careful scrutiny of the work at home opportunities available, one can do it. You have to follow your instincts, and you have to research your niche market thoroughly.

Many people are stopped from proceeding at this point because they feel they lack sufficient knowledge to develop their own Website or don’t want to spend the money to have professionals design their Website and or serve as Web Masters on an on going basis. But there is a way to have your own Web site and have it maintained without the major expenses involved.

Shopping My Way To A Small Fortune

I didn’t think it was possible, and then it started happening. I was actually making money shopping on line and helping others learn how to make money shopping on line.

It all started innocently enough. I was looking for a way to make a substantial income working from home. I was trying to analyze what I was good at when a friend asked me if I ever did any shopping on line?

I told him I did and he proceeded to tell me that I could make a lot of money doing what I was doing anyway, which was shopping for various things on line.

I started to think about it, most of my purchases were for my computer or home office, but my wife was buying all kinds of things on line from jewelry to cloths. I asked my friend how I could make money doing what myself and my family was already doing.

He explained to me that I could get my own shopping mall for free with over 1100 stores and discount chains and get a rebate for everything we bought on line. It gets even better. He told me I could invite other people to have there own absolutely free shopping mall on line and get an override on every dollar that they spent shopping on their own shopping malls. He told me that people could make $4000 - $6000 a month doing this and in some cases much more.

I still couldn’t believe it and asked him if this was MLM or affiliate marketing. He assured me it wasn’t; that this was something brand new. That I wasn’t selling anything to any one and that all I or the people I invited to join had to do was our normal shopping on line, but this time directing it to our own shopping malls.
I still had one question left. I asked him how the pricing was on the products for sale. He told me it was as good and in many cases better because the Company with the shopping malls was in effect doing the advertising for the stores and with the volume they generated they got good pricing and a rebate on top of that. Then he told me that the Company was in partnership in this venture with outfits like Sears, Home Depot, Target, Macy’s and hundreds more.


I asked myself, how could I lose? It sounded like a win, win situation so I joined. And I invite you to have your own shopping mall at absolutely no cost ever and start to make a small fortune yourself.
