Apple recipes and more…

If you live in the northern hemisphere you will know it’s autumn now.  Golden brown leaves dropping quicker than you can rake them up!

Darn it!

I have just glanced outside and have noticed that the wind is up and here come the leaves, cascading down again!  We only have a small garden (fortunately) but the leaves come blowing from who knows where!

Our summer was cooler than usual this year which is why we have had a bumper apple harvest this autumn.  My special daughter is giving apples away, so many yummy, crunchy apples to store and use.

Searching for great apple recipes.

Have already made one batch of apple and sultana chutney.  Have made numerous apple crumbles, apple cakes and apple muffins.  The family seem to still enjoy the apple recipes so will continue using the delicious apples – cannot stand the thought of wasting them! 

I have found a clean box to store the apples in the cool shed so we will have a supply to last us well into the winter months ahead.

Our tomato crop is very disappointing (remember I mentioned we had had a cooler than normal summer?) and we still have green tomatoes clinging to the vine, which is not good.  We have had a few tomatoes ripen but I reckon I’ll be making Green tomato and apple chutney!

LOL more chutney!

Fortunately, we love chutney!  It’s a great way to use up fruit and vegetables and makes a lovely gift, doesnt it?  Curry with chutney…Mmmm, delicious!

I have managed to find a few delicious sounding apple recipes whjich do work really well!  Have also managed to use my trusty old recipes and adapted them to include apples instead of the usual ingredients.

Oh-oh…

All this baking will mean I must make sure I do my usual weekly 8 miles of jogging so I don’t put on any weight!

Drop me a line if you are feeling overwhelmed with your apple crop.  If you want to try a few highly recommended, tried and tested apple recipes, I’ll send them to you. 

I do not do complicated baking, these are real easy apple recipes – as easy as pie (!) and work real well, you won’t be disappointed…

So that is it for now…

Bye!  

Emmanuel Kelly – X Factor 2011

So who is Emmanuel Kelly? 

This is not my usual blog post, I must admit.  I do NOT normally “do” X Factor.  My mind did close up when I first saw the post on “Emmanuel Kelly on X Factor”

This is for the simple reason I believe there are many more gifted singers and performers around than the ones VOTED in on these X Factor-type shows!

However, in this case, I have sat up and watched this amazing person – Emmanuel Kelly, what a performance!

More on Emmanuel Kelly on X Factor 2011

A friend on Facebook posted this YouTube video of Emmanuel Kelly an entrant in the Australian X Factor auditions. 

Emmanuel and his brother are victims of terrible Iraqi chemical warfare.  They were taken to Australia for treatment and later adopted by the aid worker who found them in the Iraqi orphanage. 

Emmanuel Kelly really does have talent!

Me posting this video of Emmanuel Kelly on X Factor is not a sympathy thing, despite Emmanuel Kelly’s disability. 

I thought it might help us to try to put our pathetic problems into perspective.  I know my problems paled into insignificance after I watched Emmanuel Kelly singing 10 minutes ago.

Emmanuel Kelly radiates enthusiasm!  He is an inspiration and is making use of his God given talent – singing – and beautifully too!

How many thousands like Emmanuel Kelly have had their lives destroyed by the madness of civil war?  Emmanuel Kelly and his brother are the lucky ones…

I hope you also enjoy the video of Emmanuel Kelly as much as I did.

Emmanuel Kelly is singing Imagine, the John Lennon song. 

Here it is below, listen for yourself… and let me know what you think?

God Bless Emmanuel Kelly and all the best with your X Factor journey!

Our thoughts on how to succeed.

Hi there, back again after another relaxing break… away.

While thinking about our wonderful lifestyle and how very thankful I am for what we have, I started to think about why so many people fail to become financially independent.

When thinking about how to succeed I decided to use our own experiences when we first started learning how to make extra money at home.

We came up with these reasons why we think most people fail.  There is nothing like experience to teach you how to succeed, is there?

Our Thoughts on How to Succeed:

1.  Procrastination a.k.a. The thief of time! 

For me this is also a problem and I know I am not alone!   When I have something I don’t particularly enjoy doing (like housework ) I will think of 101 reasons why I can’t do it!  This is a major problem for many people who work at home. 

The solution is to work on small chunks so the work does not seem too overwhelming, that will make it easier to concentrate on the task you are meant to be doing.  Make a TO DO list.  This works for me, whereas Owen tends to memorise what he needs to do…

2.  Expecting immediate results:

Sorry folks, there is no such thing as a quick buck!  Simple fact.  The more work you put into a project the better your return.

3.  Giving up too quicly:

In our opinion this is the No 1 reason why most people stop before they have earned a single penny when learning how to make extra money at home.  (Giving up too soon ties in with expecting immediate results.)

4.  Do not get taken in with schemes promising a quick buck:  

This ties in with expecting immediate results, be suspicious of anybody who promises you instant success with a huge income overnight.  This is not normal. Many of these schemes make money off the back of unsuspecting and inexperienced people.

5.  You have to spend money to make money:

This is very true. You need to invest in good software and get good training. AND this must be ongoing.  Online marketing is changing (as I write this) and its vital to keep up with the changes.  There is some great, free stuff here, but you will still need to buy some programs.  Always look at these types of purchases as investments towards your future while learning how to succeed.

6.  Contact successful marketers who have found out how to succeed:  

This is important.  Talk to people who nnow how to succeed.  Ask them questions about how to make extra money at home and how to succeed? Many marketers do not shout from the rooftops about their success, why should they?  I would be wary of the ones who are doing the most shouting.  Why are they doing this?  The answer is because they are trying to sell a system or similar product!

7.  Go with your gut instincts:

Most humans do not use this valuable 6th sense which we all have.  Try to use it more often, you will be surprised at how accurate it is.

I will add more to my thoughts on how to succeed later… must fly -  I’m going for a 5 mile run now!

Warm regards

Owen and Brenda

PS – By all means, send us an email if you want to chat about how to make extra money at home.  (Remember point no 6 above?)

Back from a wonderful vacation in Cornwall.  It really is a lovely part of the country, isn’t it?  If you haven’t been to Cornwall yet, then I highly recommend you make the effort to go.

We did so much, saw so much and generally had a good time.

Plenty of good food and wine was consumed, managed to get a few runs in so did not feel too bad! ha,ha!

For us the hightlight of the visit was the Eden Project.  It’s an amazing place, we did not manage to see everything which we wanted to see so will be back again, that is for sure!  Entry ticket includes a free pass to go back again. 10 out of 10 for that Eden, it encourages people to go back.

Had amazing scones, strawberry jam and cream.  These scones were double the size of normal scones – they made my eyes pop out when I first laid eyes on them!

The Eden Project shop has a great range of “stuff”.  We managed to find a few great little gifts that are original and were welcomed by the recipients.  If you struggle to find original gifts then I recommend you check out the range at the Eden Project.

More soon on our amazing Cornwall break!

Bye for now

Whew!  I have finally got down to updating this site.

So much has happened in our online business and I have completely forgotten to keep you all up to date on what is happening!  My apologies.

As far as enjoying ourselves? Nothing has changed!

As far as what have we been busy doing? Lots and lots!  Most of our income now comes from Affiliate marketing.  This is going really well, it is a process which suits us.  We now have a number of affiliate sites up and earning us a regular income. We also do a bit of CPA and website building.

We still go off regularly on vacation.  Sometimes we go to areas which do not have wonderfully fast internet connections.  West Wales is a prime example.  It’s “just down the road” from where we live, figuratively speaking.

We love going to Wales,  the countryside is beautiful, quiet and less inhabited and that all equals less traffic!   Anybody who knows me well, will know that I absolutely loath traffic! I cannot stand getting caught up in a traffic jam!  Long lines of cars, spewing out fumes and wasting time – just waiting….!  Eeek, drives me crazy… well almost!

What we are doing online is working so well for us.  The income stream just continues whether we are at home or away on vacation.  If we can get find a reliable internet connection then we make use of it by skyping the kids and checking up on the news from home.  We also check emails in case a client has any questions which need answering.  However, now that we have everything in place it is not essential to work on the business when we are away on vacation.

So, there you have a brief outline on what we have been up to over the last few months.  Life is sweet, real sweet!

Take care and bye for now.

Mini Suite Profits is a great little system which we want to tell you about…

Mini Suite Profits is inexpensive

Mini Suite Profits (or MSP) is ideal for anybody who wants to start marketing on the internet but does not want to fork out a substantial amount of money for a high ticket item.  So MSP ticks the box for being low cost with no major financial outlay.

How to earn extra money at home – and have fun along the way!

Yes, that is true!

Since we’ve started working at home we’ve had a lot of fun and learnt so, so much!

I thought I knew a fair bit about marketing online but that certainly was not the case!  I used to be a babe in the woods.

Learning how to earn extra money at home using the internet has been an very enjoyable experience and we have met many interesting people who have taught us most of what we now know.

Unfortunately, we’ve also met people who didn’t teach us anything!  Those people are usually the ones who talk the loudest and brag the most!

It can be a tricky business knowing who to trust when you’re trying to learn how to earn extra money at home.

We did as much due diligence as possible and we urge you to do the same.

Check out all the different methods of how to earn extra money at home using the internet.  Try to find out as much information as possible so you can make the right decision for you and your circumstances.

When we were looking for a group of online marketers to teach us how to earn extra money at home we registered for and listened to many iNetPro Group Information webinars.  We found these very helpful:

1. We were told what the iNetPro Group would DO FOR US – teach us all about the many free and paid online marketing methods

2. We talked to the online marketing trainers, who are also successful internet marketers

3. We found NO hype what so ever!  No promises guaranteeing us overnight vast sums of money

4. We were told honestly that internet marketing is hard work and success does not come to those who are not prepared to work and learn!

5. We were told we would have help whenever we needed it – and this is true, there is always a trainer and iNetPro Group member to answer questions, no matter where you are in the world, because the iNetPro members are all over the world

6. We were told we would get weekly training sessions – this is true, we attend live, interactive training a few times a week.

7. We were told that we would be kept up to speed on the latest marketing techniques.  This is important, you will need to keep up with new developments in online marketing

8. We were told we would NEVER be left to struggle on our own.  There is always somebody to help you.

9. We were told that we could try out the iNetPro Group training before deciding if it really was for us.  No commitment to continue if we didn’t like what we found!

If you are concerned about entering the world of online marketing (and YOU should also be concerned because it’s a very competitive and crowded place!) BUT, you must remember that anybody can learn how to market online, providing you know your way around a computer!

If you are thinking of trying to earn money at home by starting to market services or products online then I urge you to listen in on the iNetPro Group Information webinars and ask as many questions as you want.

iNetPro Group info webinars take place every Monday evening at 8.30pm BST.

Earn extra money at home – AND achieve a great lifestyle change!

Being able to earn extra money at home is something many people would like to get to grips with.

Earn extra money at home

Whatever their reasons for wanting to earn extra money at home, more and more people are learning how to market on the internet.

In our case, one of the main reasons we started our online business was because we wanted to make sure we would be comfortable when we retired.

And gosh!  What an enjoyable experience it has been – we have learnt so, so much since we started our home online business!

Information overload…

Information overload is probably one of the most common problems people have when they first start to try to earn extra money at home in their online business.

The amount of information available online is staggering.  What you should do; what you should not do; buy this program; try this; try that; this will solve your SEO problems; this technique will get you lots of Google love….and it goes on and on!

In our opinion, you need good help and support to stay focussed.

You must have the support of a group of experienced online marketers who know what works and what does not work and will guide you when you haven’t a clue what to do next…

Believe me, that will happen!  There will be days when you have spent hours battling with SEO or a press release or linking process and just cannot get it right.

Earn extra money at home – we can help you!

We are very happy members of the iNetPro Group.  The iNetPro Group runs a live 24/7 chatroom which always has somebody available to help you because, remember, we are an international group so when one half of the world is asleep the other half is wide awake!

If one member does not know the answer to your question, they will recommend one of the other iNetPro Group members.

So, if you are considering trying to earn extra money at home by starting to market online then may I make a suggestion…?

Try to listen to the iNetPro Group Info webinars which take place every Monday evening  @ UK: 8:30 – 9:30PM / US: 3:30PM EST.

These info webinars are free and are not a sales pitch.  They are an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have about learning how to market online and starting to earn extra money at home through your online business.

The next iNetPro Group Info webinar is on Monday 23 August 2010 at UK: 8:30 – 9:30PM / US: 3:30PM EST

To register click on this link https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/518744803

Add our name to get access to the webinar.

Then just sit back and listen or ask questions if you want.  The other interested people may ask questions you didn’t even think of!

You can also register every week and listen again if you want.  It’s up to you and it’s very important that you feel comfortable with your decision to start an online business.

If I haven’t got round to adding the latest webinar registration link to this site then please fill in the Webinar request info box on the first page and we will send you the link.

iNetPro Group, Primo Vacations and The Good Life…

We’ve just got back from another great vacation!  This time we went to Laugharne!

On vacation at Laugharne

Do you know where Laugharne is?

Laugharne is in Wales and is where Dylan Thomas lived, he wrote Under Mildwood when he lived there.  We stayed in a cute cottage perched high on the hills overlooking the Taf River estuary.  Wonderful weather, stunning scenery – the perfect ingredients for a lovely relaxing vacation.

We really do have the best of both worlds now that we are internet marketers and work from home.  We take off on little breaks whenever we want to.  Being Primo Vacations members means we can save a massive 80% on holiday accommodation.

Ask yourself this question “Why pay the full list price for your vacation accommodation?”

… you don’t have to you know!

Have a look at these Primo Vacations Hot Weeks prices in peak season!

Our internet business has given us a great quality of life and as iNetPro Group members we get all the benefits of support and training whenever we need it.  And you can have that all too!

If you are interested (and who wouldn’t be!) then contact us now!

Have a happy summer!

Owen and Brenda Cooper

iNetPro Group members and happy Primo Vacations owners
