"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,
Did you watch the Academy of Country Music awards
show the other night? What an awesome show that
was and it was hosted by my all time, "mostest,
favoritest" honey of country music....REBA! Do you
get the impression that I'm a Reba MacIntyre fan?
Have you ever noticed when she is doing the
hosting on those award shows, she always has that
look about her that she is up to some kind of
mischief or just plain orneryness back
stage. And I think she just might hold the record
for the amount of times she changes clothes during
the show.
Did you catch that
special performance by Tim McGraw? I'll bet there
was not even one dry eye in the house after that
performance. Tim is also another of my favorites
and Janis and I have seen him in concert several
times.
And how about
Carrie Underwood taking the Top Entertainer of the
year award! Her career sure has sky rocketed since
she won the American Idol thing.
Besides watching
several of the season finale's of a lot of our
favorite TV shows,
I have been spending a lot of my time writing and
submitting articles to help generate traffic to
some of my websites. This method of generating traffic is just
starting to work for me and I think it is a GREAT
way to make some extra bucks.
I have recently acquired a list of article
directories to submit my articles to and I swear
that list list is at least TWO arm lengths long!
If you would like to have a copy of it, just drop
me an e-mail with "Article Directory List" in the
subject line and I get it right out to you.
I've also been doing some updating on some of the
pages of my
TeeJay Enterprises main website. I've also
posted the first chapter of my
Identity Theft e-Book on the front page of my
main website. So if you would like to get a
preview of the e-Book, just surf on over to my
main site at:
TeeJay Enterprises
Okay, next thing I wanted to tell you about.
Well, I've taken another plunge and this one is
Blogging! I just started setting up a blog dealing
with the crime of
Identity Theft.
If you would like to
check out my blog, even tho it's not quite
finished yet, just go to:
My Identity Theft 411 blog I still have a good
bit of work to do on it yet as you will see when
you there. I'm having a little difficulty with
getting some of the links in the right sidebar to
show up in the blue color that everybody is
familiar with for links. But I'll get it worked
out eventually.
I'm also really
getting into learning everything I can about
"Tagging" and "Pinging". With the tremendous rise
in popularity of all of these "Social Bookmarking"
sites that are are cropping up all over the
Internet, that's the way to go to create traffic
to a blog.
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.

When a person
comes online, they are generally looking for
information and resources. Many people are
searching for a way to make money online and
therein lies the setup for an unhealthy
partnering of newbie and Internet savvy scam
artist.
Everyone that has been online for a while and
has set up a business needs to market that
business to pay their bills and to grow their
business.
However, the
Internet seems to be in need of growing a
"conscience" when it comes to the e-books, the
software, and the tools that are offered to
new people and those that are still searching
for a method to better their life. Whether
retail marketing or sponsorship program, each
requires a lot of the person's time and
resources to market to the new client.
Every day there are emails offering the newest
marketing blitz, the most cherished system
that a person cannot live without, the only
method to making thousands of dollars as
evidenced by the checks the marketer has
received.
Granted, there are
disclaimers, but it is like saying something
in a courtroom. Once the word is out, it is
highly unlikely that the jury is going to
forget what was mentioned. The same goes for
claims to wealth.
Receiving an email with a product that seems
legitimate and is followed with a heart-felt
sales offer will encourage many people to
continue and become a representative.
The story behind
how the marketer got to his position, how he
felt during the start-up phase, and how he
managed to obtain the goals set is much more
interesting than how much he received in his
last check. There has never been anyone that
could spend that marketer's check but himself,
so there seems to be no real reason to be
showing checks in a sales solicitation.
After a person becomes a representative or
purchases a product from a marketer, that
marketer has a responsibility to help or lead
the new person to obtain their goals. To keep
retail sales from being cancelled, a follow up
email on how to use the product or some of the
benefits not mentioned previously or some
general knowledge of how the product has
helped others will be most welcomed.
The follow up lets
the new representative know that the marketer
has his best interests at heart and that he is
not just another notch in his sponsor's
printout sheet. Knowing there is a caring
person behind a great product or program is
more than enough motivation to a new person.
This can be an inspiration to them to do well
and to continue to try knowing that they have
someone in their corner should a problem or
questions come up.
Many marketers send out multiple solicitations
to join their respective companies and,
honestly, just wait to see who takes the bait
and runs with it. That is one method of
marketing, but it seriously lacks a sponsor's
responsibility. A marketer should help a new
person as much as that person wants to work.
Giving ideas, helping them through hard and
easy times, and sharing methods that seem to
be working and letting everyone take what they
need and leave the rest seems to be a
responsible attitude.
Everyone is
different and new people have fear of failure
on their mind and so trying to make everyone
fit one mold is not a workable method. What
works for one may not work for another, but it
is helpful to the new person to know what the
options are and to count on their
representative to guide them.
To sum it up, if you are working programs or
products that require sponsoring, then make
sure that you retail products and that you
spend time with those you bring into the
program.
To do anything other than guide and share with
those that you sponsor is irresponsible
marketing and should not even be considered.
Online marketing can be a great source of
friendship and business profits that last a
lifetime if promoted properly. Do your part to
make the Internet a more responsible and
caring place.

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.

The banners above represent the three major
programs

All I can say is that they work for me and you
should really take a good hard look at them and

6 Tips For Affiliates - Choose Your Merchant
Wisely
By: Tim Gilligan
a/k/a/ "Skipper"
Affiliate
marketing has become increasingly popular in
recent years. Affiliate programs offer
merchants the opportunity to employ vast
armies of sales people who only get paid for
the results they achieve.
The rewards for affiliates are high also,
and the skilled affiliate marketer can earn
many thousands of dollars a month. This
win-win situation has led to an explosion in
the number of affiliate programs that are
available to the would-be marketer. With
this proliferation of opportunities has come
many questions; how do you go about choosing
the right opportunity for you? What
qualities should you look for in a program
and which gives you a good chance of making
a sustainable income? Below are some tips
that will help you to evaluate merchants and
their programs, and help you to avoid
wasting time and money.
1. How Much Commission Does The Merchant
Pay?
This may seem obvious, but it is very
important that you know how much you can
expect to earn from a sale. There is no
point in spending time and money promoting a
product that doesn't pay well. You could end
up spending more on marketing than you are
likely to make on sales. It is probably best
to stick with marketing products with a high
commission value, unless you have found a
niche market where you can sell vast
quantities of product, and make substantial
commissions on your volume of sales.
2. How Much Traffic is the Merchant's
Website Getting?
Try to discover the amount of traffic the
merchant's website is already receiving.
Alexa.com could be a useful tool for doing
this research. If the website is ranked in
the top 100,000, the merchant is getting a
good volume of traffic, and there may
already be too many affiliates. If it is
ranked below 500,000 it is either no good or
it could just be a golden opportunity to
make some real money! Always research a
merchant's product if their website has a
low traffic ranking. It may be a good idea
to buy the product yourself if you can
afford to. Otherwise you could do a search
to find out if there are any adverse
comments about it on the internet. If all is
well and the product is good, you may have
found a gold mine!
3. How Often Are Commissions Paid?
Some merchants pay commissions every week;
some once a month, others only pay every
quarter. It is important that you know how
often you can expect a pay check if you are
going to have financial control over your
business. Do you have the financial
resources to continue to market a product if
you have to wait a long time before you get
paid? It would also be wise to find out the
minimum commission that you have to earn
before you get paid.
4. Does The Company Use Tracking Cookies?
Many customers do not buy on their first
visit to a merchant's website. It is
important therefore that the merchant uses
cookies on their site, so that you get
credit if the customer returns and buys at a
later date. Check out how long the cookies
last. The longer the cookies lasts; the
better the chance of getting paid!
5. Does The Merchant Pay On Subsequent
Sales?
Some merchants will only pay commission on
sales that come through customers visiting
their site via a direct link from your site.
They pay you nothing for any subsequent
purchases that the customer makes if they
visit the merchants site directly. It is
important that you get paid no matter what
route the customer returns by if you are to
build a sustainable business.
6. What Promotional Resources Does The
Merchant Offer?
Look at the type and quality of the
promotional material that they provide. Do
they provide articles or content that you
can use to promote them on your site or free
guides, special offers or samples? If the
promotional resources are good it is likely
that the merchant will provide good support
for their affiliates.
Finding the right merchant can be a tricky
business. The best advice is to do your own
research. Use the above questions as an aid
to finding a merchant that enables you to
reach your financial goals.
You never know -
You could strike gold!
