I have been on the net for quite some time now – since 1994 to be exact…and during that time I have seen every end of the spectrum when it comes to making money online. I’ve seen some people make massive amounts of money in short periods of time whilst others struggle for months or years without ever making a cent. So what is it that makes one person get all the money while others flounder? Is it a matter of luck, expertise or is it something else?

Since we were at the point where we needed to move to the next level in our affiliate business these were questions I was starting to ask myself. I wondered why we were seemingly ‘stuck’ making the same amount of money even though we were putting more effort into the business.

During that time we attended an internet marketing conference in Sydney where one of the presenters spoke about releasing blockages to making money.  He made each of the audience members go through a simple exercise to see how we really felt about money. After the speaker finished, the lady next to me told me how she didn’t realise how she had always unconciously given away money, in one way or another, as soon as she received it. Her reasoning was that as a child, although her parents made sufficient money, whenever they argued it was always about money. Forever more, this woman equated money with something bad and so was always either repelling it or giving it away.

Personally, I have always liked money. For me it is a means of having complete freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want…within reason of course. So if my problem doesn’t relate to not liking money then what is holding me back from moving to the next level of affiliate income? I knew I had to find out.

Fortunately when you start asking questions like this the Universe invariably starts pushing things right under your nose to help you answer them. For me it was finding a free ebook on the net called The Science of Getting Rich. This little gem was written back in 1910 by a man by the name of  Wallace D Wattles.

The book details how, if you do things in a Certain Way, you can become wealthy.  Apparently it was one of the inspirations for The Secret so if you have seen the movie you will have some understanding how this all works. This book was that good, I literally read through it in one sitting.

After finishing the book my enthusiasm increased dramatically and I was really pumped. I felt like this was they key I was looking for. Interestingly enough, an hour or so after finishing the book I checked my Amazon sales for the day and we had one of the best days ever….was it just coindence or was it the effect of reading the book?  Who knows, but I wasn’t complaining.

I immediately emailed the book to Wanda (my business partner) who read it the next day. She also read it in one go and her response was “Wow, that’s pretty powerful stuff!”

So all this happened a few weeks ago and from just reading the book and absorbing the concepts we have already seen our sales increase. It is amazing what a change in thinking can do. I am so enthused about it that I am currently rereading the book and highlighting important bits as I really want to ensure I am doing things in that Certain Way.

This is well worth a read - I highly recommend it! The book is available free on the internet. I downloaded mine here but just have a search in Google and you will see plenty of available downloads.
