The contest is on! Empower Network is getting ready to launch the new and improved ENV2, and in preparation for the launch has restructured their contest a bit. Instead of giving all the prizes to the top ten affiliates company wide, they’ve broken it down into four different income groups, making it easier for more people to win a prize.

The top five affiliates in their income bracket will receive a prize! So not only do you cash in on the income you generate by accumulating contest points, but you get rewarded for your tact in playing the game!

Here are the ENV2 contest details:

I live in a small, rural area in southeast Arizona. The little community I reside in is completely surrounded by farm fields. However, once upon a time, this entire area was one big pecan orchard, and throughout the years, homes were built and streets were developed within this orchard. My home was one of the homes built within this pecan orchard which left several pecan trees remaining on my property.

Every year we harvest these pecans and sell them to local markets, who then turn around and resell them to their customers at a higher price. The market, or reseller, is the middle man. And the middle man almost always makes the most profit, and I’ll explain why.

For those of you who are new to the online marketing world, you’ll hear time and time again, “the money is in the list.” Which is absolutely true. Many dollars are to be made through email marketing. However, there’s a trick to sending autoresponders to your list which not only captivate those who actually open the email, but also calls them to action.

Autoresponders: A Simple Guide to Email Marketing and Converting your List

The first thing you need to realize about your list, is that your list is sacred ground. I’ve seen others promote almost anything to their list, things which they haven’t even looked into personally. Instead of treating their list like a gold mine, protecting it from the rest of the world, they treat it like a dump, throwing trash at it as fast as they possibly could hoping to get something of value back.

If you can, take just a second and think back to the day when you first started looking into a home based business. As you were scrolling through those websites, were you aware that each one of those opportunities are required to post some sort of income disclosure?

If you’ve never seen anything of the such, you might be wondering what an income disclosure actually is and why it’s required.

This world has become a world of requirements and warnings. With so many people being “Sue Happy” these days, companies are obliged to warn their customers about unexpected events that might occur should they get involved. Ten years ago, who would have thought about becoming rich from burning yourself with a cup of hot cocoa? But it’s happened more than once!

Along side my home based business, I also offer webmaster services such as SEO, wordpress website design and website maintenance and editing. Some say that the secret to success in business is to find a need and then fill that need. Thus, people need money and time freedom, and they also need someone who knows what they’re doing when it comes to designing, marketing and editing websites. I know that I’m filling a need and it’s been profitable for me and those I work with.

The other day, I was contacted by someone who does something similar online, she designs and promotes Facebook pages for her clients. She occasionally runs across clients that also need a service that she knows very little about, SEO. She contacted me because she wants to fulfill all the needs of her customers, when it comes to the internet. I, on the other hand, don’t really design Facebook pages and could use here skills in that area as well.

One of the most basic ways to make money online is through affiliate programs. In this post, I’m going to show you how to join the best affiliate program ever and show you why you should join.

What is an Affiliate Program?

If you don’t know what an affiliate program is, I’ll explain real quick. To put it simply, it’s a way for you to sell everyone else’s products for a commission. Most affiliate programs offer a one time commission, which is a percentage of the sale price, such as 15% or 30%. So on a $100 product, you’d make a one time commission of $30. Hosting companies such as Godaddy and Hostgator have affiliate programs that pay you around $100 per new hosting account opened. Sure, the hundo (hundred) is nice, but if you know anything about hosting costs, it’s nothing compared to the money the hosting company will make from your affiliate sale over time.
