You Must Do Something - November 2007
Hello and welcome to the thirteenth issue of the APD Newsletter. How lucky is that? I can’t believe it was November last year that the first issue was published and here we are a year later, still going strong.
I have to say it has been a breakneck year. I have learnt so much about making money online during these last twelve months. And…it has been a good year! The business is now firmly entrenched and if I’m honest it has only really been this last year that we have started to get a lot closer to where we wanted to be.
So, as we near the end of another year…how much progress towards your ultimate goals have you made?
Ouch, it’s another one of those horribly awkward questions I like to ask you. What have you done this year to get out of…The day job? Debt? The UK? Your rut?
OK, I’ve asked you the question, now I’ll give you a fact.
Did you know that, and I hate to say this, but…the majority of people who fail to succeed in making money online, or indeed in life, do so because of one very common trait?
Quite simply they DO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION!
I find this so sad but it is without doubt the number one reason why the majority of people never make a single penny online. They take no action because either:
They’re scared to, or…
They get totally paralysed by the overload of information (I did a piece on this in the very first newsletter if you want to have a look, November 2006) – paralysis of analysis.
So, procrastination sets in and before you know it, …the opportunity is lost forever!
Is this you?
Having said that, I totally understand if you are in this situation. I spent most of my first attempt at Internet Marketing back in the late 90’s doing exactly this. However, there comes a time when you just have to take an “educated” risk, when you just have to go out there and do something.
Maybe you’ve been burnt before? Just in case you were wondering if this only happens to you, no…it doesn’t. It’s happened to everyone. You, me, my mum, John next door! It’s not the fact that you get burned, it’s how you react to getting burnt that’s important.
I remember once being told that it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down. You just have to get back up and carry on. Yes, it helps you to learn from the mistakes, and…you only need to get up one more time than they knock you down to win!
Yep, you’ve guessed it, I have been burnt countless times but it never stopped me getting back up, dusting myself down and putting myself out there again. I’ll tell you what… It makes it so much sweeter when you do win!
And, if I hadn’t kept putting myself on the line, where would I be? Do I really need to answer that? In a day job bored stiff making money for someone else, bankrupt, sponging off of my mum, it could be any of these.
So, think about this and make a pact with yourself that you are not going to let a few setbacks stand in the way of your success. Are you? Your success is far too important! Do a bit of daydreaming…what would an online business making, say, £10k per month, mean to you and your family? Play with this idea!
Oh, and enjoy playing with it. See it, feel it, touch and taste it.
You’ll find it very motivating.
Maybe you don’t really BELIEVE you CAN be a success?
Well, I’m here to tell you that I am nothing special. I worked in a bank for three years, an oil company for eight and in recruitment for more years than I care to remember. So, if I can do it, you can do it too (your boss won’t tell you this, by the way).
Whatever you do - at least MAKE A DECISION and run with it! Get something done to secure your future. And…it doesn’t matter if it’s not 100% right to start with, just DO SOMETHING.
You can learn exactly how to do it once you’ve got at least something done! So, make a second pact with yourself. That you are going top put yourself on the line and LEARN what you need to learn to achieve success.
I said that I’d learnt an awful lot this last year and so I have. And, you are going to benefit from what I have learnt. To that end, I am planning to totally revamp the main APD website (again) over the next month or so and make it a “make money online” centre of excellence.
In fact, the project is already underway! I’ll be reviewing and recommending all of the tools and products that we use to make money online. I’ll also be putting up more free information on how to succeed online.
Keep watching - these are exciting times.
And, talking of exciting times, I’ve got something new for you this month. I know I have really banged on at length about product ideas over the last two months, so here’s a rich source of products for you. And…they’re all free.
The following link is a free source of PLR products. This means you can re-brand them and sell them either as they are, or alternatively you can re-write, merge and generally use as you see fit.
Go and have a look…

I also made a new purchase last month, and it’s the first time I’ve brought something from Michael Green’s extensive library. If you have PLR products to play with, then you should take a look at Michael’s 20/20 Challenge product.
Michael is without doubt one of the UK’s most successful online marketers. He’s built a huge business over the last six years so he’s certainly not a newbie! However, despite his success, he only works part time! (Oh joy!)
I’ve been watching his products for a while now and what I like about him is that he creates products which are easy to use…but work! Indeed his latest is very special indeed. Quite simply, it is a system that promises to teach you how he made $20,000 in 20 days. The outline and daily action plan are excellent – it’s great stuff. Follow the instructions, and if you do follow the instructions…it does what it says on the box!
The instructions are detailed and ideal for someone who is just starting out online. So, if you really do want to get online and make some money, this is the place to start. Go and have a look…or ready my review.
Derek’s Review of the 20/20 Challenge
Incredibly, Michael makes a guarantee that if you fail to make $20,000 in 20 days after following his plan, he will refund every penny of the cost of the course. You can’t get much more confident than that!
The product has only just been launched, meaning that you can buy it at a huge discount if you’re quick. The price is rumoured to double shortly and I’ve seen Michael Green do this before, so it won’t be an idle threat!
What would you do with an extra $20,000 in your bank account in few short weeks’ time?
Have another daydream, only this time, you really do have the chance to make it real!
I promised to lighten up this month. Hopefully I have achieved that, although I see my old banking friends have been suffering a lot more pain this last month. I can’t believe some of the stories coming out of the City! But, hey, if you want to insulate yourself from all of that and keep your destiny within your very own hands, then what I’ve given you this month is an ideal way to do just that!
Now, go for it. Don’t just read this newsletter and file it away, take the information and take action on it. Go on, you know it makes sense!
Well, that’s it for this month, with just one more edition left before Christmas (agghh, I said it!).
I intend to make December’s issue a bumper edition with lots of extra value that you can digest (along with the turkey and vast quantities of alcohol) over the festive break.
So, if there’s a subject you would like covered or a question you need answering next month, mail me and I’ll do my best to come up with what you want.
Have a great November, and, as always, have fun.
Cheers now
Derek
