Sorry - this offer has now ended.I don't usually post things like this, but it is a subject very close to my heart. Pun intended.I recently bought the resell rights license for a book called Healthy Heart - Long Life.My license says not to change the book or its contents, and suggests I sell it for $17 (more if I sell the resell rights).But frankly, the book needed a few changes.The content is about the symptoms of heart disease and a heart attack. How to make simple changes in your life to give yourself the best chance of never having

Become a Super Affiliate MarketerToday's review of Affiliate Gold Rush, by Jeremy Kennedy, is long. I make no apologies for that, because it is an in-depth review of a product that has impressed me greatly.In the last year, I have recommended several products that teach affiliate marketing. You may have bought one or more of them - or at least checked them out.Affiliate marketing is my number one way to make money online. By far. Sure, I do other things, but nothing I do has the income potential of affiliate marketing.I am convinced it is the easiest, fastest and most

We have a strange relationship in the UK with truck drivers.We need them to keep food on the shelves, petrol in the tanks, and shops full of stuff we don't need to buy. They are vital to our economy, and our lifestyle.But we don't really like them.Town councils make it very hard for them to park their trucks, and only allow deliveries at the most awkward times.Motorway service areas charge them a fortune to park, offer them food at eye-watering prices, and give them the most basic, dirty (and often broken) washing facilities.Haulage companies realised that Eastern European drivers would

As an Englishman who generally tries to use American spellings in Kickstart, I am fascinated by the differences in words that are used in ‘British English’ compared to those used in ‘American English’. Here in the UK, we tend to assume that, what are to our ears, strange American words, are johnny-come-lately barbarisms. But I am sorry to tell my fellow Brits that in a lot of cases, Americans use words that we invented! Fall or Autumn? Take ‘Fall’, for example. Although we all know that Americans mean Autumn, it still seems odd that they have their own word. Or

Recently it was my 40th anniversary 40 years to the day since I bought my very first computer – a Sinclair ZX81. Seeing that ad reminds me of the hundreds of rolls of silver thermal printer paper I got through. I can still remember the smell! Little did I know that the strange, annoying, frustrating and endlessly fascinating little black box would have such a major influence on my life. First I learned ‘Sinclair BASIC’, the built-in programming language, and then I progressed to learning assembly language – machine code – which was faster, leaner and a whole lot more

Why ignore the consequences? When I wrote a blog post recently about the credibility gap in Internet marketing, it got me thinking about WHY some people do the self-destructive things they do. I figure that it comes down to them being so blinded by the short-term gain that they completely forget about – or deliberately ignore – the long-term consequences. Thinking about people like that reminded me of something that happened nearly 40 years ago. I worked in a small but very prestigious advertising agency called Michael Robinson Associates. Our offices were on the 2nd floor of an iconic building

Think before you junk! Turning out a wardrobe recently I found an old laptop. When I say old, it was one we bought in 2010. Originally a Windows 7 machine, it had at some stage upgraded to Windows 10, but from that day on it never ran right. The processor is a very ancient AMD Athlon II dual-core that is creaky to say the least! When I plugged the machine in, it took over 12 minutes before Windows was open. Actually, I was a bit surprised it opened at all – it took so long I thought it had died

Fear of Missing Out Nestled in among all the other weird things our brains do to us is a psychological phenomena known as the Fear of Missing Out. It affects people in lots of different ways. For example, I know of one guy who is so afraid of missing out that he cannot make a decision to do anything because he is frightened something better might come along. I remember he was invited to a big dinner and dance once, but because he thought he might get an invitation onto a better (in his view) table, he delayed accepting so
