As you read this, Nerissa and I are on our way to Hawaii. Believe me, we need the rest and relaxation.

Meanwhile, this month's newsletter contains enough resources, gifts, tips, and ideas to keep you busy until we get back.

Oh. Before I forget, get out your new 2005 calendar and circle April 5th. I'm heading a global event that day. More details to come.

And now, without further ado, here's this month's newsletter...

TIP: How do you come up with ideas for products people will buy from you today?

I'll give you a few clues:

Last month my Nokia 9290 Communicator suddenly stopping receiving email. Though carrying this mobile phone/email device has felt like lugging a brick in my pocket, I always loved it. Well, it was time to look for a new phone. This one was old, frail, and near dead. I was about to begin the confusing quest for a replacement.

Clue #1: If you had an e-book out there reviewing all the different "smart phones" on the market, I would have bought it.

I went online, went to bookstores, bought and read magazine reviews of phones that could send and receive email. I finally settled on a new one called SideKick ll. I called around, found a company in Austin that sold it, and drove there to get it.

One look at the phone and I knew I did not want it. Besides looking fragile and cheap, it was made by a company called Danger. Well, I can take a hint. I passed.

While at the store, another phone seemed to call my name. It was a Blackberry 7290. Good name. I like to eat blackberries. But I tried a Blackberry three years ago and sent it back when it couldn't get a signal anywhere near me. But this new phone looked good. I asked a few questions, played with it a bit, and shelled out $300 for it.

But when I got home, I found the device to be a challenge. Some functions were intuitive while others were not. I read the manual and thought it was more a tease than a teacher.

Clue #2: If you had a book on how to use my new Blackberry, I would have bought it.

I called the store where I bought the phone. They were helpful. But I wanted more. So I went online and searched for help. I used Amazon's http://www.a9.com feature, typed in "Blackberry 7290" and up came several results, including a DVD on all the secret ways to use my Blackberry. I bought it instantly.

Once I started to get more comfortable with my new tech toy, I then decided to get some extras for it, such as a leather case, a nice ear piece and mike, etc. I jumped online and began searching for accessories.

Clue #3: If you had a site selling extras for the Blackberry, or if you had an e-book reviewing all the extras, I would have bought it from you.

Do you see how this works?

You pay attention to the problems you hear people having. Those are opportunities. Get the answers, turn them into products, and you're on your way.

But let me make sure you understand this process, as this is a proven key to wealth.

As you know, I lost my beloved best friend, my ex, in October. Going through the grieving process has not been easy. We were together over 25 years. Well, in an attempt to relieve my pain, and to understand death, I have done research on near-death experiences, grieving, healing, and letting go.

Clue #4: If you had a product to help me get through my grief, or to help me better understand death in a positive way, I would have bought it.

Again, pay attention to what people say they need -- including what you say you need -- and turn that need into a product. Because people need it, they will shell out money for it.

Follow?

Finally, where do you find the people who may want the product you create?

Clue #5: Look in the mirror.

They are online, just like you. They are members of discussion groups, email lists, and forums.

For example. Corey Rudl says he makes an extra $100,000 a year with a side business providing Ferrari decals to Ferrari car owners.

How did he know they wanted the decals?

He was on one of the discussion boards for Ferrari owners, heard people repeatedly post the question, "Where can I buy Ferrari decals?" and then created a way to provide what they needed. The problem became a product.

Is this easy or what?

Re-read the above. I just gave you one of the most reliable ways to make money online (or even off).

When you're ready to create your own e-book, get the brand new ultimate guide revealing how to write, market and make money with it. This is the first absolute beginner to advanced work on how to make money online with your own product. See http://www.create-ultimate-ebooks.com/

Go E and grow rich.

Note: If you do decide to get the Blackberry 7290, be sure to also get the Jabra 250 headset. It slips over your ear, uses Bluetooth to make your phone to ear wireless, and makes you look like you're on the set of Star Trek. Very Bond. James Bond.

TIP: How can you get your emails past the filters?

These days even innocent emails from friends are having trouble making it to their intended recipients.

How do you get around these filters?

Easy. Send your voice by email. The filters will just see a link. You can swear all you like in your audio recording (not that I condone that) and the link will go right through the filters.

See for yourself. Try out this cool software at http://www.SpeakandSend.com

Speak and grow rich.

NEW: Why didn't I think of this? Daniel Levis took the letters of the most hypnotic writer in history - no, not me, but Robert Collier - and dissected them to see what makes them tick. His insights are brilliant. They teach you about human motivation, sales copy, and what it takes to make a living with your words. I love this work. Wish I had thought of it. Get details at http://hop.clickbank.net/?outrageous/castlegate

NEW: What are your questions about e-books? Pat O'Bryan and I sat down and answered all of the ones people sent to us.

Get the details at http://www.ebookproblemsolver.com

RANT: I'm getting tired of people claiming to know what Hypnotic Writing is, complaining about the writing they think is hypnotic, and then showing me writing that is heavy handed, wooden, trite, and even boring.

That is *not* Hypnotic Writing.

Hypnotic Writing is subtle. You don't even sense it taking place. Do you think Mark Twain or Jack London or Robert Collier used Hypnotic Writing? They never heard of it, yet their writings are the best examples of Hypnotic Writing around.

The only way to know Hypnotic Writing is to study what I mean by it, and read examples of it. The ultimate course on it is my Hypnotic Selling Secrets. See http://HypnoticSellingSecrets.com/g.o/10386

Until you know what Hypnotic Writing is, you might hold your tongue in condemning any writing you feel is "hypnotic."

Learn and get rich.

INSIGHT: The first reality TV show to truly capture my interest is called "Rebel Billionaire." It stars the flamboyant and likeable Sir Richard Branson. There's enough daredevil activity to keep your blood pumping, with enough business lessons to make it all worthwhile. Branson does every scary thing he asks everyone else to do. He's far more likeable than Trump. Check your television listings and watch it. It's hypnotic. See http://www.fox.com/rebelbillionaire/

NEW: Prolific neighbor and friend Pat O'Bryan has yet another product out, this one teaching you the fundamentals of persuasion.

See http://hop.clickbank.net/?outrageous/influence1

RESOURCE: How does your website look to a search engine spider? You can find out for free at http://tools.summitmedia.co.uk/spider/ You will get an instant report about how well your site is designed for search engines to catalog it -- and what to change if your site gets a poor grade. An excellent resource.

TRIVIA: January 4th is National Hypnotism Day. Remember, hypnotists do it better with their eyes closed. Take your local hypnotist to lunch.

RESOURCE: Where can you find old ads from the mid-1800s to study, marvel, grimace, or laugh at? See http://advertising.harpweek.com/ for ads from the Civil War period, for such items as artificial legs or bullet proof vests. Fascinating.

GIFT: You can now receive a free training course by me. The headline at this site got ME drooling to know more. See http://www.thinklikejoevitale.com

REMINDER: People are doubling and tripling their sales, their conversions, and their lists by using the information in my ultimate marketing course at http://HypnoticSellingSecrets.com/g.o/10386 It would make a great gift to yourself, or someone you know. (Christmas is this month, you know.)

UNUSUAL: Are subliminals for real? While the evidence for them is more subliminal than conclusive, I have to admit I'm fascinated by the idea of hidden messages in ads, images, and even words. If you want to read a fascinating book by a true believer, get "The Secret Sales Pitch" by August Bullock.

I found the author's writing, comments, and insights eye-opening. I got so excited by reading his book that I emailed him. While I still think subliminal messages in ads are questionable, I know subliminal *perception* is very real.

For example, you are making conclusions right now that have nothing to do with what I'm writing. They are being based on your unconscious making judgments about what I've *not* said as well as what I have said.

Get the book. Read it. It ties in nicely with Hypnotic Writing and Hypnotic Selling.

I thought the subliminal art on the book cover was genius. I bought a T-shirt of it to wear to conduct my own street tests. I wanted to see if people respond to the clever subliminal message on it. As soon as I put it on, super sharp Nerissa spotted the subliminal and asked, "Why are you wearing a sex shirt?"

So much for "subliminal."

NEW: Subscriber Wayne Allen sent me one of his books to help me through my grieving. It's called "This Endless Moment" and confronts you with the stark reality that you decide what anything means in your life. He says in his Zen-ish book, "Everything is a figment of your imagination." I love the reminder. It puts the responsibility for your well-being where it belongs: Inside. See http://www.phoenixcentre.com

REMINDER: Did you circle April 5th on your calendar? What are you waiting for? It's the day of...well, it's a secret. Circle it now. Details will follow, in time.

GIFT: Subscriber Wes Hopper has a new e-book at http://www.dailygratitude.com You may have it, and share it. It's about giving.

RESOURCE: Subscriber and dear friend Jillian Coleman Wheeler just released "The New American Land Rush: How To Buy Real Estate with Government Money." It's a new home study course that lists every single government real estate program, along with the key contact information.

It's all described at -- http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?AFID=124556

TIP: As you know by now, I am a gadget freak. Recently I bought a pair of pants and a vest designed for techie lovers. The items have a dozen or more pockets, most hidden, to place your phone, camera, recorder, or any other devices. You can even run wires through the garments and have them come out the top, where they reach your ears. Pretty cool.

What I didn't expect was a packet of cards in one of the pockets, each with a fresh testimonial on it for another one of the company's products. What a great way to do some up-selling, and at little extra cost. See http://www.scottevest.com

NEW: Dr. Robert Anthony's life-changing audios, "Beyond Positive Thinking," are now available as downloadables. You can hear a 17-minute excerpt at http://www.BeyondPositiveThinking.com

PERSONAL: After having my NordicTrack Eclipse exercise machine for almost ten years (but only really using it over the last five months) one morning last month it broke.

I quickly jumped online, went to the NordicTrack e-store, and instantly chose a fancy new model with all the new bells and whistles that my old model never had.

I then called them and BEGGED for overnight or at least three-day shipping, as I didn't want to lose my momentum toward my fitness goals.

They said they couldn't do it, that all orders take two weeks. But the nice operator/sales lady said she would personally call the warehouse and put a rush on the order and I might have it next week. I took a gulp and did it.

Now, what's amazing about all this is ME.

In the past I would have taken this as an excuse to stop working out. Today I'm desperate to get the replacement here NOW so I can keep working out.

I like the new me.

What happened to me?

I've simply started being tough, but in a loving way. As a result, I've lost almost 50 pounds (so far).

You can do it, too. See http://www.govesiebold.com/cgi-bin/at.cgi?a=301459

And note: One day soon I will reveal my entire fitness story, including how a $15,000 time-machine, a secret group of Indian mystics, and a rare magic ring helped remove the final barriers to my weight-loss goal.

Ok. That's it for this month.

We have a plane to catch.

Remember to circle April 5th on your new calendar.

Until next month, happy holidays and keep smiling...

"There's nothing happening to you, no one is doing anything to you, and where your life is right now is totally and completely the result of your choices and interpretations."
