The ten percent rule is that you save ten percent of your gross income. A very simple rule for wealth building that is all too easy to overlook but are you actually doing it? It works with the principle that you should get used to paying yourself first. This helps reinforce your financial priorities and puts you at the top where you should be considering that you’re doing all the earning. I apply the rule quite strictly and not only include my main source of income but any income.
It’s important to save or as I like to say pay yourself ten percent of your gross income not net. Whether self employed or employed you’ll still know your gross income from your payslip so use this to calculate. The reason for this is to beat the tax man, not literally you’re still paying your due tax but psychologically you’re beating him as you’re willing to give this percentage to yourself before his cut. Over the course of say ten years the difference between ten percent net and gross would be quite noticeable.
Like tithing it’s easy to say you’ll do it when you’re rich but this is a habit worth starting now. No matter what your circumstances it’s worth trying and you’ll be amazed at how you cope and still get everything paid after paying yourself first. The extra years from starting early make an impact when using compounding interest too.
Compounded Interest is basically where the interest you earn on your savings starts to earn interest itself, interest on interest! The key to utilising compounded interest is to start as soon as possible as it’s slow to start with but given enough time will have a very rewarding effect.
Albert Einstein called compounded interest the eighth wonder of the world. This should give you some idea how powerful and important it is and the great thing is it’s accessible to everyone through simple savings. I found this important wealth lesson best taught in the book by George S. Clason The Richest Man in Babylon

Self mastery is the key to success and long term fulfillment.  Here are 10 questions to mentor you to success for whatever that means to you.  Answer them honestly and think about your answers:

1. What am I doing today to get what I want?
2. Will this behaviour move me towards what I want or am I settling?
3. How would the person I want to be do the thing I’m about to do?
4. How long can I hold this vision?
5. Who do I have to become to attract the success I want?
6. Am I willing to accept the consequences of not changing?
7. Who is in control?
8. Am I setting into motion the causes that will produce the effects I want?
9. What don’t I see?
10. Am I willing to do whatever it takes?

When you earn interest, your account balance continues to grow. In time, you actually earn interest on your interest! Even one percentage point can make a huge difference in the long run. If you think putting off saving for your retirement for a few years won’t make much of a difference, take another look. By starting early and giving your money the opportunity to grow over time, you’ll put yourself at a huge advantage in securing the kind of future you deserve.

See how $1,000 grows even if you don’t add another cent. Can you really afford to delay investing? Look around for investments that give higher returns and remember, no investment is totally secure. But some are riskier than others.

The High Cost of Waiting – Don’t Make This Mistake!
The biggest mistake you can make is assuming you don’t have any money to save. If you earn an income, it’s simply a matter of how you’re spending it. You can put some money aside each month — if you make saving for your future a priority. The longer you wait the more money you will need to save each month to make up for lost time.

Time is Money
If you begin saving for your retirement early in your life, you’ll have to put aside much less money each month. If you wait until you’re nearing retirement, the amount you’ll need to save each month could be near impossible.

Rule of 72
How long it will take for your money to double is easy to calculate using the Rule of 72. Simply divide 72 by the percentage of interest you earn on your savings. If you’re not pleased with the answer, start investigating other options that pay a higher rate of return.

The first thing you should do is sit down, take a deep breath and prepare yourself for an exciting journey. Whether you have a small or a large amount of debt, you are one step closer to becoming free from debt! Debts may seem like they are never going to disappear…but fear not friends, if you follow some of these simple steps and mix it up with a bit of will power, you will be closer to becoming debt free!

Resist temptation
It’s easy to fall into sale traps like “40% OFF SALE TODAY ONLY!” or “END OF YEAR SALE”, but ask yourself, do I really need this item? How will it make my life better? In most cases when you buy something out of impulse, it loses its hype after a few weeks, or even days. If the item is a must-have, look into buying a substitute that is just as good, but not as expensive.

Budget
Look at what you’re spending. Spend 1-2 weeks writing down every single thing that you purchase. Once you’ve done this, re-assess yourself and look at where your money is going! What unnecessary things can I cut down on? Make dinner instead of ordering take-out, bring your own coffee to work instead of buying coffee at the café downstairs. Do what you can to reduce your expenses so you can look at paying your debt off faster.

Pay cash
Instead of using credit cards, start to use cash! The last thing you want is to add to your list of debts. So when purchasing, try to use cash. It might be worth cutting up your credit card so you definitely won’t use it.

Pay more than the monthly minimum amount
If your minimum monthly repayment is $30 a month, double it and pay $60. Every little bit counts! Credit card companies charge you interest every day, so make sure you make payments as often as possible.

Consolidation loans
Have a look at low interest loans that can be used to consolidate high interest credit card balances. This is especially helpful for people with multiple credit cards.

Debt-management counseling
If you have a large amount of debt, there are no-cost or low-cost organizations that can help you. They can work out deals with your creditors to reduce payments and help put you back on track financially.

Good luck everyone, and remember to stay focused – that is the key to becoming free from your debts!

Contrary to most modern day negotiations it’s not about winning it’s about coming to an understanding and fair agreement.

Here are some top tips for consideration when you’re next in a negotiating situation, whether it be buying or selling a car, house, or your next salary review.

1.  Never accept the first offer.  Never make the first offer.  Let the other party lay down their expectations first.
2.  Expect first offers and counters offers to be the upper and lower limit of the negotiations.  You can counter this or expect to be countered with the other extreme and work inwards from there.  Although meeting halfway is not always the plan.
3.  Be aware of both perspectives.  Example: You may value your garden in relation to your house at say $4,000 but to a property developer it could be worth $40,000.  Now if you get approached to sell it which one do you think they’ll try to get you to focus on?  That’s right $4,000 you need to be aware of that and point out the value in their terms $40,000.
4.  Be prepared to walk away.  If there are silly figures being thrown around and the other party aren’t budging, you want to be able to walk away without bluffing.  It’s not always possible but try to have options if the deal is really not favourable.
5.  What’s the lowest you’ll take? Direct, crude, pushy, call it what you want but expect this question.  This guy wants to skip the whole process and for you to give him your lowest figure.  Wishful thinking!  Bounce back the question with what’s the highest you’ll pay? Or simply state back the price you’ve already given.  From experience if you get asked this they’re wasting your time.
6.  Leave your heart at home.  Don’t get emotionally attached to the product you’re buying or selling, it will give the other party a strong upper hand.
7.  Ask for more than you want.  Quoting your desired figure off the bat leaves no room for negotiation.  Ask a higher price then fall back, leaving the other party happier with a perceived bargain.
8.  There are no rules.  If you’re in the deal you have a right to change what goes.  Don’t like something then challenge it.  This links in to Rule #4.
9.  Don’t try to screw them.  It’s all about agreement and fair exchange.  Compromise so the terms are acceptable to all.  Screwing the other party can get nasty and damage future business.
10.  Be willing to negotiate in the first place.  If you’re a nervous person adapt the negotiations to a manner more suitable to you; over the phone or get someone else to negotiate for you.  You can still be the authority figure in the background with the final say.

Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication. There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

What are these three tactics?

1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.

You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.

2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.

Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.

Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.

Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.
Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving…

The key to saving money it to start now! Everyone says that they have too many bills to pay and that it is impossible. Then, they feel like the amount they might be able to save isn’t significant so it doesn’t warrant trying. This is incorrect!
The key is to make it a habit to save. Some of the best advice out there is to, “Pay yourself first”. This is really well illustrated in the book, The Richest Man in Babylon. The idea is that too many people make paying others a priority. Pay the credit card company, pay the bills, pay for groceries, then at the end of the day, there isn’t anything left over. The way to get around this is to pay yourself first; put some amount of money away before you hit the bills and spend the rest.
You will be surprised at how quickly it grows. You will also be surprised in that you probably wont miss the money. Set up anything, $25/month, $50/month or $100/month or more. You wont miss it and it will be the beginning of something that you can grow.
I was once advising a person who had just started their career. They were telling me that contributing to a superannuation fund/401k was too much money out of their take-home pay. I got them to try just 1%. They came back later and told me they didn’t even notice the change. Over the months, they slowly grew this amount. This is why I advise you to just start small and grow into saving larger amounts of money.
Saving money is a key element in building your wealth. Start exercising this saving muscle now so that you can continue to grow it in the future.
