"The Dangers Of Identity Theft
and How To Protect
Yourself"
By: Tim Gilligan
a/k/a/ "Skipper"
An interesting and very
informative look at the various methods used by
"Identity Thieves" to grab your personal information
and use it to run up thousands of dollars of debt and
also to perpetrate all kinds of fraud in YOUR name
causing you all kinds of grief and aggravation. There are
many ways that you can protect yourself from these
threats that are just plain "common sense" but there
are also some ways that you may not have thought
about that are explained in this book.

Skipper's Orders Of The Day *****
(Editor's Comments)
From the Quarter Deck of the S.S. Minnow
with "Skipper" Tim Gilligan at the helm
and I
give you my personal guarantee that we will not
leave you stranded on an uncharted and deserted
island in the middle of the Internet!
Hi everyone,
Well it has certainly been a busy week for us. We
had quests from New Jersey visiting with us. Our
nephew and his wife and baby flew into Ft. Myers
last Wednesday and they just flew back home this
past Wednesday.
You know, it's really amazing how much we take for
granted living here in Florida. It takes a visit
from family or friends to make us realize that we
really do live in Paradise.
So we've been
playing "tourist" all week and have been really
getting into enjoying this wonderful area we live
in here in Ft. Myers.
I think one of the
most enjoyable things we did was to take the kids
to the zoo down in Naples. It's just about an
hour's drive south of us and they have a really
beautiful zoo and botanical gardens there.
We packed a picnic
lunch and really had a grand time just wandering
around the zoo and checking out all of the
animals. The botanical gardens are just beyond
description. I've never seen so many different
kinds of plants and a lot of them are native to
our area. We were just totally amazed at
everything.
Okay, next thing I wanted to tell you about.
The book sales are moving right along pretty good.
I'm considering taking down the special offer
price this weekend, so if you haven't picked up
your copy yet, this weekend will be your last
chance to get the special price. I'll be pulling
the special offer page down on Sunday evening.
Okay, I don't want to take up a bunch of your time
with my ramblings, so I'll let you get on with
reading today's edition.
Also,
I would greatly appreciate your feedback and
please let me know what you think of the new and
improved edition of our e-zine.
Your Editor/Publisher
"Skipper" Tim Gilligan
P.S. --- You'll notice that I've made a few
changes in the format of today's edition. These
changes were done in response to the reader's
survey I recently sent out to all of our
subscribers. So, as you can see, I really DO pay
attention to your requests and/or suggestions.
And always remember, your comments and/or
suggestions are always welcome and also greatly
appreciated.
You can send us your comments and/or suggestions
just by clicking on this link:
Hindsight, as we
all know only too well, is a wonderful thing.
For example, if we had only known that the
ceiling on membership at a popular site was
going to be subscribed so quickly - we would
have joined up the minute we heard about it.
If we had only known that niche marketing was
going to be so wildly popular we would have
focused on that instead of MLM.
If we had only known that Google was going to
change its algorithm and the rules of AdWords
were going to change we would have...
Stop.
Stop, stop, stop.
In the world of Internet marketing, you can
safely bet that the only constant is the rate
of change! There's always news of the latest
product dropping into your email inbox.
There's always another promise of quick and
easy money. Google will keep changing its
algorithm, and new search engines are quite
likely to pop up to challenge Google.
What can you do about this? Four main things:
(1) Continue To Educate Yourself.
Understand that those who rise to the top of
any field - whether it's internet marketing or
something else - are good at what they do.
This means that they never stop learning.
There are always new materials, new techniques
and probably new 'experts' showing the way.
Most of us learn in three main ways: (a) from
experts who specialize in a certain niche
related to our field; (b) from others who are
following the same path as we are, and (c) by
trial and error, from our own results.
You will find that the more you immerse
yourself in the world of internet marketing,
the more you will be able to analyze which
products, services and opportunities are right
for you.
(2) Focus. Pick One System And Give It A
Fair Go.
Countless people who start out on the internet
with high hopes follow the same pattern. They
get excited about a new product or system.
They throw themselves into it and invest long
hours (and potentially quite a bit of money)
in getting it up and running. It might be
e-books sold from mini-sites; it might be
setting up an eBay business; it might be
directory-type sites with text manipulators;
it might be AdWords or content sites optimized
for AdSense.
Then one day they get wind of another new
system (probably one created by someone who
claims "the gurus are angry with me for giving
away all their secrets..."). Discouraged by
the lack of results with the first
"opportunity", they decide to let it rest for
a while and try the new one. Back they go into
the cycle of try-the-new-product,
get-discouraged,
discard-it-and-try-the-next-thing.
And so it goes on. Months pass. Perhaps years
pass. They struggle to pay the credit card
bills mounting from buying into every new
system that comes along... with very little
money coming in to offset their 'investment'.
As they look back, they start muttering "If I
had only known then what I know now..."
If you can recognize yourself in this
scenario, the good news is this: Now you DO
know better. You don't know what the next new
product will be that's going to set the
internet world abuzz, but you do know enough
to choose a system that's right for you and
stick to it.
(3) Take The Time to Plan.
Give yourself from two to four weeks to
regroup. Go through all the products you have
on your shelves or on your computer. Make a
list. Decide which products you now know (so
wise with hindsight!) to be worth keeping.
Then analyze the 'keepers' and pick on the
best system for YOU to use at this time. (This
will depend upon your level of knowledge and
which one you would enjoy most. Work with your
strengths.)
Finally, devise a game plan. You are going to
focus on this ONE method and devise a
practical time-line to achieve results. Don't
be in a rush. Make sure you give yourself
enough time to see it 'take hold' so the money
starts flowing in. That will give you the
motivation to continue.
Clear the decks, physically as well as
mentally. Put all the products that don't fit
in with your plan in boxes or on disk for
safekeeping. You may return to them one day,
but if you've chosen the system that's right
for you, you probably won't.
4. Don't Get Distracted by New Products.
Resolve to buy ONLY products or services that
will save you time or money in implementing
the system you have chosen. Never buy anything
on impulse. Print out the sales letter, read
it through, then put it aside. Read it through
again the next day. Does it still seem so
appealing? Check out a few forums to listen to
the buzz. If a product doesn't deliver, you'll
soon hear about it. If it is exceptional
value, you'll hear about that, too.
Some questions to ask: "Will this help me to
streamline the business I have chosen? Is it
worth the money? Will it make a significant
difference?" And above all, "Do I need this,
or is it just another distraction?"
Resolve to make this the year you will
succeed. No more pocket change. No more "If I
had only known..."
Well now you DO know........ So make it work!

We just put the finishing touches on a brand new
software application called the "Instant
Training Course Generator!"
Now, in a matter of *minutes* (rather than days
or even weeks), you can create unlimited email /
autoresponder training courses on the topic of
YOUR choice - with hundreds of topics to choose
from!
Would you like to see an example? I just
created a full, 5 part golf training course
called "Basics and Beyond: How To Shorten Your
Golf Game!" You can subscribe right now simply
by sending a BLANK email to this address:
-------> Don't forget to CONFIRM your
subscription by clicking the link in
the automated email that you'll receive.
Just imagine being able to create training
courses on almost any popular topic you can
imagine, and having each course ready to send to
your subscribers within minutes!!
Simply browse and select from OUR database of
pre-written, exclusive, *private label* articles
(enter the ID numbers of the articles that you
choose to use as your training course lessons),
and fill out a brief form with some
basic information (such as your training course
title, signature, etc).
Then, with the instant click of a button your
training course is automatically generated and
ready to go!
This is a VERY easy application to use, but one
that could literally transform your business!
Each training course you generate can be used in
a variety of ways. To generate NEW subscribers,
and/or to increase your subscriber opt-in rate
exponentially, offer a training course as a
powerful sign up incentive!
If you already have a list of subscribers, you
could increase your income by creating virtually
as many training courses as you'd like, and
sending the sign up address for each course to
your main list... Try targeting more specific
interests of those on your main list.
For example, if you have an Internet marketing
related list (a broad topic), you could create a
training course about the more specific topic of
"copywriting", and send that out.
The Instant Training Course Generator enables
you to include ads automatically interlaced in
key areas throughout each course that you
create.
We even have ready made ad copy that you can
choose from - all that you're required to
provide is an affiliate or product (web-site)
URL!
So now you might be wondering, "How can I get
access to this awesome resource?!"
You can gain INSTANT access, and start using the
Instant Training Course Generator immediately,
the moment you sign up for IGR
at:
The Instant Training Course Generator is not
available anywhere else, and it's so new that
you won't even see it listed on the IGR sales
page yet, so consider this your personal "early
bird" notice!
The more training courses you have "out there",
the more potential income you stand to make...
Each training course could be created to promote
your own products, or, your top affiliate
products.
Each training course is intended to *automate*
the process of building an income.
Once you have the subscriber on your list, the
training course (and your autoresponder service)
does the rest!
Make sure you take advantage of this powerful
new tool before your competition gets wind of
it!...
I thought you might be
interested in taking a look at this site that I have
just found. It was recommended to me by several
people and I think the information they offer on
blogging is really GREAT!.
It is certainly better than most sites I have looked
at and even though is doesn't cost anything to join
they give away a book that's better than most books
I have spent good money on recently.

5 Easy Steps for Writing an Article that
Gets Top Results
By: Tim Gilligan
a/k/a/ "Skipper"
You may not know it, but you have an easy
way to bring targeted traffic to your site.
You can write articles for publication in e-zines
that will continue to bring you traffic to
your site long after they appear online.
Just think of this as an unstoppable traffic
generator for your online business.
You do not have to be a Hemingway to be a
great article writer. There are some basic
rules to follow though. Here are 5 steps to
writing a good article that will attract
attention and result in more traffic and
sales for your business.
STEP 1 - Create A Hot Title
You must grab the attention of the reader
first. People scan everything before they
commit to reading it. Let them know what the
article is about in a way that makes them
want to dig into it for more information.
Two classic ways to make a good title are to
use a "How to" format, such as, "How To Get
A Base Hit 7 Times Out Of Ten", and the
"Tips" format, which might go something like
this: "5 Super Easy Tips To Relieve Stress".
STEP 2 - Get Your Reader's Attention With
An Interesting Opening Sentence
The next most important part of writing your
article is to grab the reader with a
powerful first sentence. This will keep them
interested and wanting more information. Two
of the best ways to hook your reader is to
ask a question or to state a fact.
A question should make the reader curious to
find out the answer by finishing the
article. If you state a fact, you must make
it the basis for the rest of your article.
STEP 3 - Discuss The Main Points In The
Body Of The Article
Here is where you provide the content of
your article, and the solutions to the
problem that you are solving for the reader.
Your purpose here is to educate and inform.
Address each problem and follow it with the
solution. Or if you are giving tips to your
reader, you can list each tip in the order
that best solves their problem.
STEP 4 - Summary and Ask Your Reader To
Take Action
Always include a brief summary for maximum
results. Then tell your reader why it is
important for them to take action now. Give
a benefit or two as an incentive for them to
respond now. This can be a link to your
website or newsletter. After all, this was
the primary purpose of your article.
STEP 5 - Include A Powerful Resource Box
After Your Article
You absolutely need to make a resource box
promoting your website, e-Book, e-Course or
affiliate program. The resource box gives
the reader another way to get more
information. This will spur the traffic to
your promotion as more people read your
article. Create a resource box that tells
who you are and what you are offering to the
reader. This should take no more than 3-6
lines of text.
These 5 steps will ensure that you have an
article that people will want to read and
then visit your website. Just use this easy
5-step format and simply fill in the details
with your own information. Then distribute
your articles to e-zine and newsletter
publishers in your business niche. The
result will be more targeted traffic and
increased visibility for your business.
