I'm enjoying writing about whatever I want on my blog. News that might otherwise wait for this ezine, or is too personal for this ezine, is now getting posted almost weekly at my personal blog.

There you can read about our recent car accident, my thoughts on marketing, how I lost 80 pounds, how I feel about gifts, my weekend with a shaman, and more.

If you want to keep up with me, consider visiting "Beyond Marketing." It's at http://www.JoeVitale.com. You can also get to it from a link on www.mrfire.com.

Note: A lot of viruses went out last month with my name as the sender. As a reminder, I will never send a bulk email with an attachment to it. If you see something suspicious, and it has my name on it, just be safe and delete it.

Also, let's not forget the hurricane victims. Just because the destruction is not in the news doesn't mean people don't need help. Here's a win-win for all: http://www.OperationSuperHero.com

And now to this month's news...

TIP: The long awaited movie "The Secret" will hit the world next month, on Feb. 15th. If you're the last person to hear about it, click here and brace yourself: http://www.whatisthesecret.tv (Note there are now two clues at the site.)

GIFT: You can listen to a recent 30-minute interview with me talking about "The Attractor Factor" at http://www.teachmeteamwork.com/news33.html

IDEA: I marvel at the ability of people to create solutions to the most challenging problems. To see what I mean, grab a copy of the new book, "500 Ways to Change the World." It's inspiring. It's a collection of ideas from everyday people, collected at the Global Ideas Bank. Foreword by Anita Roddick.

See http://www.globalideasbank.org/site/store/

NEW: My shameless friend Debbie Allen just released her latest book, "Skyrocketing Sales! The Ultimate Guide to Boosting Your Confidence and Exceeding Your Goals." Anything by Debbie checkmates the competition. Get it at bookstores or from Amazon.

PREVIEW: My new book will be out on March 7. If you'd like a sneak preview of what's inside, visit my new blog dedicated to it. But do not order the book yet. I'll offer you some goodies when you get it ON March 7.

HYPNOTIC: How did mystery novelist Agatha Christie literally hypnotize her readers?

If you've ever wanted proof that hypnotic writing works, here it is. Scientists studied the novelists works and discovered she used words that invoked chemical responses in the brains of her readers.

The study of more than 80 of her novels concluded that her phrases trigger a pleasure response. This causes people to seek out her books again and again.

According to the study, Christie used literary techniques mirroring those employed by hypnotherapists and psychologists, which have a hypnotic effect on readers.

Is this fascinating or what? It's clear evidence that the principles in my Hypnotic Writing line of work, and in my Hypnotic Writing Wizard software, work.

The team found that common phrases used by Christie acted as a trigger to raise levels of serotonin and endorphins, the chemical messengers in the brain that induce pleasure.

I love it. You can read more about this study here.

LESSON: Authors have been inspired for decades by Napoleon Hill's famous book title, "Think and Grow Rich."

There's "Publish and Grow Rich," "Speak and Grow Rich," "Feel and Grow Rich," and a long line of others.

But where did Mr. Hill get the "-- and grow rich" title?

Well, I've been remodeling my office. Doing so has put me in chaos, with books and papers everywhere. But along the way I've made some nice discoveries.

One day I found a little wooden box with $500 in cash in it. That was a pleasant surprise.

Another day I found a book with the title "Laugh and Grow Rich."

And what was really interesting is the book was published in 1923 -- more than ten years *before* Mr. Hill wrote his self-help classic.

Dale Carnegie once said there are no new ideas, just improvements on existing ones. Well, it seems Napoleon Hill may have been inspired by that 1923 book title.

You can be inspired by titles, old products brought to life with a new spin, or anything else. Keep your eyes and ears open, as the next million dollar idea may be a simple spin off of an old forgotten idea.

Of course, don't outright steal anyone's idea. The point is to look for ways to build on old ideas.

In other words, "Spin and Grow Rich."

TIP: How can you tell if a book *title* will be a bestseller?

Easy. Just plug it into the below site and let the formula reveal your chances. This is very educational but maybe not accurate.

It said "The Attractor Factor" has a 26.3% chance of being a bestselling title. Ah, it's already a bestseller. Ask Harry Potter. (The title beat him twice last April.)

It also said "Think and Grow Rich" has a 20.1% chance of being a bestselling title. Ah, it's been a bestseller for decades.

The program is actually designed for novels, so maybe that's the glitch. Try it for yourself at: http://www.lulu.com/titlescorer/index.php

TIP: Do Google ads on your sites and blogs make any money?

According to Seth Godin, popular author and net wizard, and reported in Brad Fallon's blog, yes, they sure do. Brad says...

"As Seth points out, the #1 blog in the world has 25 ads. #2 only has 1. #1 makes more money from ads, which is good for them and doesn't hurt their readers a bit."

I agree with Brad in the sense that when people are searching for something, they *welcome* your ads, as long as the ads are relevant to the search.

If you don't have ads on your site, get them there. See https://adwords.google.com/select/Login2

See Brad Fallon's post about this subject at: http://www.bradfallon.com/2005/12/blogs-and-ads.html

In short, Advertise and Grow Rich.

BARTON: I wrote the only book on advertising legend and BBDO cofounder Bruce Barton in "The Seven Lost Secrets of Success," back in 1992.

But Richard Freed just released the first full-length biography of Barton. It's "The Man Everybody Knew: Bruce Barton and the Making of Modern America."

I love Barton and am delighted to see him paid the homage he deserves. This is a respectful, easy reading book, complete with pictures, that anyone curious about ad-men, copywriters, early advertising, or the evolution of modern selling needs to have.

When you think about it, the early days of advertising were similar to the early days of the Internet: We're still learning what works, what doesn't, and what is possible -- just like Bruce Barton and early advertising.

"The Man Everybody Knew," as well as my own "The Seven Lost Secrets of Success," are on Amazon.

INTENT: My long time dear friends Jerry and Esther Hicks have just released their latest book. If you liked my "The Attractor Factor," then you should *love* "The Power of Deliberate Intent." Louise Hay wrote the foreword. It's in book stores or from Amazon. Or go see http://www.Abraham-Hicks.com

BARNUM: The great circus promoter P.T. Barnum hasn't written anything since his death in 1891, but living scholars are finding his rare forgotten writings and reprinting them today.

The latest is "The Colossal P.T. Barnum Reader," edited by James Cook. This slim hardcover contains many juicy articles about Barnum and his promotions. That alone is priceless.

But the book also contains some of Barnum's earliest writings, such as his 1841 novella written under the pen name of Barnaby Diddleum.

Fascinating reading, and perfect for any fan of the greatest marketer of all time. Get it at Amazon.

UNUSUAL: Nerissa and I have a rare cat. We didn't know it was rare. Nerissa saved it from being put to sleep by the city and a year later we learned it was a prized kitty. See http://nebelungs.blogspot.com/

INVITE: The Attractor Factor Yahoo Group is flourishing, and even more important is how the members and the group itself have evolved over the last few months. Almost every week they have reports of miraculous happenings -- medical miracles, small miracles of synchronicity, and the occasional `big one'. The latest they're celebrating is one of the members who made a donation to his favorite charity and had the money returned a hundredfold in just a few days. Anyone can join, at zero cost, at http://www.groups.yahoo.com/groups/theattractorfactor

TIP: I found this site and think it's the cutest thing ever. The photos are crisp and clear and every one of them makes me smile. Go see what it does for you: http://www.cuteoverload.com/

PERSONAL: People keep asking me how I lost 80 pounds and became Charles Atlas of the Internet. Well, the easiest answer -- at least for now -- is at my blog. See http://www.JoeVitale.com and look for the entry titled "Why Lindsay Lohan wants me bad." Click here for the direct link.

Finally, have a wonderful new year. This is your year.

"I, too, believe that everyone should have a chance
at a breathtaking piece of folly once in his life."

- Mrs. Brown, played by Anne Revere, in the
classic inspiring movie, "National Velvet" (1944)

Expect miracles.
