How to Turn Tragedy into Opportunity
By Jason Mangrum
I couldn't believe it.
They closed my Paypal account.
I've been using them for years.
It's near the holidays, and they locked
it up with all my money. I was at Madison
Square Garden with my wife Skye and our
friend Michelle to see Dane Cook (he was
hilarious) and was informed by a puzzled
cashier as he handed me back my debit card
with a slightly raised eyebrow, that I was
declined. So, I called them to fix it.
After about a 2 minute wait, the guy on
the other end said, "Ah dude, I don't know
how to tell you this, but your account has
been closed, umm... permanently. I'm sorry."
I almost fell over.
I'm a full-time entrepreneur "stay-at-home"
type of guy with a family and a big house.
"This can't be happening!" the ego shouted.
"I left all my money Paypal!"
I'm not going to tell you how much.
But it was enough to strike a pang of fear
through my heart, which had now begun to
sink slowly into the bottom of my chest.
"Tell me what I can do to fix it." I muttered.
He returned, "...hang on a sec."
I've brought in over $33,898 into my Paypal account
within a hundred and twenty days of promoting
Passport to Wealth, and wasn't too interested
in spending my time and energy on much else.
That is, with a few special... unique, exceptions.
I'm also the Top Secret Copywriter.
(see http://www.topsecretcopywriter.com)
I have developed the ability to create money out
of thin-air through marketing and manifesting.
But all my money was in Paypal.
He gave me an email address of someone I could
contact about possibly getting my account lifted.
There's an AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) address
they'll give you if you treat them with respect.
The moment we got home I ran to my downstairs office,
threw myself at the computer and began to write.
It was near the holidays... they had to respond.
"I'm just a human being like them, I'll appeal to their
more personal side, and they'll at least let me get my
money out of there... for sure. I can do that."
The thought began its descent into my reality.
Consciously, I was an emotional train wreck.
Visions of sudden doom for my family, our home business
and our income flooded every corner of my mind. I almost
"wanted" to feel bad about the whole experience.
It was a shock to the nervous system.
Sometimes, when you're right in the middle of what's
going on, you forget to practice what you've learned.
I forgot to focus on the lesson.
It was trying to get my attention, and I wasn't listening.
So, it tried harder.
A few hours after I fired off my personal email to Paypal,
I received a personal reply in a robotic sense, officially
apologizing for the inconvenience, but stating firmly that
my account was closed for violating the Terms of Agreement
which was clearly against MLM, ponzi schemes, pyramids and
"get rich quick" schemes of any kind.
But I don't promote an MLM, I promote Passport to Wealth,
and it's not an MLM. It says so, right in the video.
Regardless, they put a hold on my funds for 180 days and
told me to have a nice day. I was manifesting the end of
my rope. I had asked for an appeal, and they said no.
I wanted to sue them and get even. They ruined Christmas.
There's that ego again.
I was left with no choice but to surrender to a higher power.
I decided to turn inward.
Within 30 minutes of meditating, clearing and energizing my
light body using Falun Dafa, I gained the lesson. The "ah hah"
moment hit me like a bolt of lightening... equally as jarring
as the previous, less positive encounter.
I manifested this to make more money.
Many people don't use Paypal, and the search engines are
quickly filling up with anti-Paypal sites all over the place.
There are some horror stories from ex-Paypal users that put
mine to shame. My friend Carlos Garcia lost almost $200,000
when Paypal shut him down and froze his funds overnight.
Recently, a new, more widely trusted source has emerged.
In fact, unlike Paypal they're a household name. Google.
Google Checkout is a new rival to Paypal.
Billions of people search Google every day, versus Paypal’s
few million users. That's a bigger difference than it seems.
People trust Google more than they trust Paypal.
Google will increase sales.
Their Adwords program works seamlessly with Checkout.
In fact, my friend Chris McNeeny just released a video
revealing his $1.67 million dollar ClickBank account to
prepare the world for his launch of the Google Assassin.
(see http://jasonmangrum.com/google-assassin.html)
There's a lot of money to be made using Google.
Paypal is cracking down on any program or business that
promotes the idea of being able to make money. They label
it as "get rich quick" or MLM and freeze your account.
It doesn't matter if it's a genuine and legitimate business
selling access to $75,000+ in products and software with
Master Resale and Private Label Rights for $997, to them
it's a scheme and violates their Acceptable Use Policy.
Google doesn't see it that way.
They're not perfect, but they're better for sales.
My best advice would be to remove Paypal immediately if
your business promotes the idea that one can make money.
Too much can be taken away from you overnight.
Now back to the lesson...
I finally listened.
As a result of learning the lesson and paying attention
to the universal clues surrounding the entire situation
telling me Paypal was bad for my business -- and I could
increase my sales beyond anything I've experienced before
using Google Checkout to accept all major credit cards,
I received another email from them.
This time it was a canned response. But it told me that
my funds were now available for withdrawal. A miracle.
I promptly logged into Paypal and began the transfer to my
bank account. In 3-4 business days, I'll have money again.
They were kind and generous enough to lift the hold long
enough for me to send the money to my bank account.
I appreciate them. They were an integral part of my choice
to manifest more money through my online business.
And now, I can use the resources I have readily available,
to turn this tragedy into opportunity and help other people
by telling my story. They don’t happen without challenges.
Every obstacle or problem is a challenge to give you
the opportunity to turn lead into gold. If you don't
listen, it will try harder to get your attention.
If you refuse the lesson, you are doomed to repeat it
as many times as necessary to get your full attention.
Just look for the clues.
The lessons are there to help you know yourself.
Looking back, I can see my reactions both inner and
outer, that caused these manifestations to occur.
Had I been mindful of the lesson at the time of
experiencing it, I could have avoided the severity
of what happened all together.
But the moment the lesson is realized, you get relief.
This didn't just happen so I could increase my sales,
I also learned that self-control while in the moment
manifests a better, more positive and all-around easier
projected experience. The outer reflects the inner.
And now, I have a whole new arsenal of tools from Chris
and his "Google Assassin" to make more money than ever before,
and have it deposited from Google, straight into my bank.
I hope this article helps you.
In every moment, you can turn tragedy into opportunity.
Remember, you must smile in the mirror first, before your
reflection smiles back. But the change is instantaneous.
Feel free to pass on this article everyone you know. Place it
on your web site, in emails or on your blog. Let as many people
see this article as possible to protect themselves and avoid
having to learn this lesson the hard way, like I did.
May your journey be filled with blessings beyond compare.

The Best Website Traffic Sources
- by Jim Edwards

http://www.thenetreporter.com
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Not a day goes by that any serious website owner doesn't
wonder how to get more traffic to their site.
This intense desire to generate more clicks makes virtually
any online entrepreneur easy prey to many of the traffic
schemes and scams that pervade the Internet like conmen on a
carnival midway.
Promises of fast traffic and big bucks often separate even
the most savvy business person from their money because they
want to believe the promises made by these traffic
hucksters.
However, rather than thinking "complicated equals better" in
the traffic game, the best website traffic sources rate
extremely easy to separate from the useless garbage traffic.
Fact: "Good Traffic" equals "Targeted Traffic!"
That means the visitors come as a result of desire to find
out more on a specific, niche topic, not as a result of
"exit" traffic or membership in a "safe" list where members
simply pitch each other in an incestuous spam fest.
Good traffic comes from people clicking links on topics
targeted to their interests and getting directed to a
website containing information they want and expect as a
result of clicking the link.
Bottom line, when you get right down to it, the best, most
dependable sources of targeted traffic come from links that
people click.
So, next time you're considering spending money on a traffic
source, understand that unless it involves a targeted link
that a targeted visitor can click to get to your website,
think twice before opening up your wallet.
To my knowledge, only three ways exist to get a link to your
site: buy it, "voodoo" it, or grow it.
** Buy Links**
Buying links actually rates the fastest way to get traffic
to your website.
You simply sign up for Google AdWords at Google.com or you
open an account with Overture.com.
You then run ads with a link on those sites and any time
someone clicks the link, you pay for the click through a
relatively straightforward bidding process based on the
popularity of the keyword.
You can also buy links in ezines, newsletters, and on other
people's website either on a per-click basis, for a period
of time (a week or month), or in exchange for paying them a
commission if a sale gets made as a result of a click on
the link.
** Linking "VooDoo" **
Linking "voodoo" refers to attempting to manipulate the
search engines into displaying links to your website.
You can find a large number of automated software programs
online at any given time that will claim to help you get
more search engine traffic.
Depending on the intensity of competition in a specific
market, and the fact that search engines change their rules
frequently, pursuing search engine links can quickly turn
into the online equivalent of Alice chasing the rabbit down
a hole to "Wonderland."
** Grow Links **
I personally prefer this method to get links to my websites:
growing them.
The best type of link to get involves one person telling
another person, either explicitly or implicitly, they should
click the link and visit the site at the other end.
One way to do this is simply to exchange links with another
site which targets the same audience as your site.
You can manage this process manually or use one of the many
software packages that will manage the process for you.
A search on Google.com for "reciprocal link manager
software" yields a good start.
The easiest way to grow links is through using articles
other people post on their websites which link back to your
website.
The reason articles work so well for "growing" links
involves the numerous ways in which articles get distributed
online, each of which can create dozens, hundreds, even
thousands of different links back to your website by
publishing a single article.
As time goes by, and as the article spreads around, the
number of links literally "grows" over time (but unlike
a houseplant, you don't have to water an article!).
In fact, the following represent only the tip of the iceberg
when it comes to all the places you can grow and expand the
links to your site by publishing articles online.
~ Blogs - Your articles can not only appear on your own
blog, but get posted by others on their blogs with
surprising ease.
The links in these articles can point directly back to your
website.
~ Article Directories - Article directories such as
IdeaMarketers.com abound online.
They not only provide an easy way to display your articles
to allow others to pick them up for posting on their
websites, but also in and of themselves attract readers
searching for content.
~ OPS (Other People's Sites) - Popular websites like
WebProNews.com attract repeat visitors by offering targeted
content to their readers.
Since they can't produce all the content themselves, they
publish articles created by others. Links from these sites
can bring a steady stream of targeted visitors by giving you
targeted exposure.
~ Ezines - By getting your articles published in other
people's ezines, you can get a link on the most valuable
real estate online, a targeted prospect's email "inbox."
Many ezine publishers run articles written by others to their
targeted readers, and your link in the resource box can
bring you a veritable avalanche of targeted site visitors
when hundreds, even thousands of people receive your article
at the same time.
Whether you choose to buy them, "voodoo" them, or grow them,
getting targeted links to your site posted on the Internet
represents the absolute best way to get steady traffic to
your site.
Though not as fast as buying them or as exciting as trying
to manipulate the search engines, growing links with
articles gives you a long-term, dependable presence online.
