    George Bush's Secret To Successful Internet Marketing
    Copyright 2004, Willie Crawford

    Former U.S. president, George Bush Senior told the 
    following story during a broadcast back in 1989...
    
    A young boy and an old man  were walking along a  beach. 
    As they walked, the boy picked up each starfish he passed 
    and threw them back into the sea. Confused,  the old man 
    asked him why. 
    
    ``If I left them here,'' the boy said, ``they would dry up and 
    die. I am saving their lives.'' 
    
    ``But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions  of 
    starfish,'' the old man said. ``How can what you're doing  
    make any difference?'' 
    
    The boy looked at the starfish in his hand, threw it into the  
    ocean, and answered, ``It makes a difference to this one.'' 
    
    How does that relate to Internet marketing?
    
    Our quest into the world of making money online can
    often be like that walk along the beach.  The starfish
    lying on the sand are the tens of thousands of people
    who, wanting to start their own business, have bought
    into some hype, and joined schemes and scams that
    have absolutely no chance of working for most of them.
    
    These starfish... these people who have bet their lives'
    dreams, and often life's savings, on a poorly conceived,
    over-hyped "business opportunity" strike me as starfish
    stranded on that beach.  They are so close to the ocean,
    - to proven online businesses they can own, and yet they 
    need a little help.
    
    As a consultant, and someone many people come to
    for solutions, I see too many who have bought into a
    "packaged deal" that includes everything from a complete
    turnkey website to guaranteed traffic. In theory, all they
    need to do is turn it on, and it will spit out dollar bills.
    
    The dream of an instant, foolproof business is simply 
    very, very appealing to some.  We all know that if it were
    THAT easy, everybody would be doing it.  Still, we like to
    believe that it is... just maybe... possible.  It's sort of like
    playing the lottery.  We know our chances are one in one
    hundred million of winning, but maybe... just maybe...
    
    Back to that walk along the beach... You can actually earn
    a decent living online being that boy walking along the
    beach. You save these starfish, one at a time by showing
    them what really does work online. You see people wasting
    time and money on some business concept that is failing 
    them, and you do the kind-hearted thing. You gently show 
    them the errors of their ways.
    
    Many will still stubbornly hold on to the scam they have
    bought into, and continue trying to make that work.  Their
    chances of ever making a dime are less than average. They
    are still looking for the easy, no-effort way, that doesn't 
    exist!
    
    Some will notice that YOU are earning a living online and
    want to know how you do it.  That's your invitation to show
    them what has actually proven to work for you. That's your
    green light to throw them back into the "Internet marketing
    ocean" and give them another chance at success... a much
    better than average chance because you teach them how
    not to wash up on the shore again.
    
    One term we see used online frequently is six-figure income.
    That threshold has a magical effect with many because
    they have difficulty achieving it. You can easily achieve a
    six or even seven-figure income online. All you have to do is
    help others the do the same. They will happily pay you for
    your help.  Help someone to earn $200,000 a year and they
    won't  mind paying you handsomely for that.  Teach them
    the proper way to do it and they will be forever grateful to
    you.  
    
    Now that you know the key, there's only one thing for you
    to do. That is to get started.  If you don't know how, that's 
    simple too... let those already doing what you want to do
    teach you.  One way to do this is to join me at the Internet 
    Marketing How To Workshop for a tremendous start.  The 
    workshop is taught by 11 people who "save starfish" all day
