Tonight, I wanted to share with everyone a wonderful book. My love for Harry Potter left me intrigued to see this lovely collection of stories.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Standard EditionIn December 2007, J.K. Rowling unveiled The Tales of Beedle the Bard, a very special book of five fairy tales illustrated by the bard herself, embellished with silver ornaments and mounted moonstones. Amazon was fortunate to come into possession of one of the original copies, and it was our privilege to share images and reviews of this incredible artifact. Now J.K. Rowling is giving millions of Harry Potter fans worldwide cause for celebration with a new edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, available December 4, 2008.
But the true jewel of this new edition is the enlightening and comprehensive commentary (including extensive footnotes!) by Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, who brings his unique wizard's-eye perspective to the collection. Discovered "among the many papers which Dumbledore left in his will to the Hogwarts Archives," the venerable wizard's ruminations on the Tales allow today's readers to place them in the context of 16th century Muggle society, even allowing that "Beedle was somewhat out of step with his times in preaching a message of brotherly love for Muggles" during the era of witch hunts that would eventually drive the wizarding community into self-imposed exile. In fact, versions of the same stories told in wizarding households would shock many for their uncharitable treatment of their Muggle characters.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling is now available for pre-order at Amazon.com. This book of fairy tales was written to supplement the Harry Potter series and will be published in two new editions, Standard and Collector’s Edition, on December 4, 2008. Amazon’s exclusive Collector's Edition includes a reproduction of J.K. Rowling's handwritten introduction, as well as 10 additional illustrations not found in the Standard Edition. Visit Amazon for all your great deals.

BEWARE! There are too many Scams, Reviews and so called "Great Deals".
BEWARE! We hear so many reports and reviews on "what is a scam" and "what is not".
The whole internetmarketing, work from home or business online can be daunting.
Many are only out to sell ebooks, which can be good and a learning experience, but if they do not offer the follow through set up and on going support, you will not generally as a rule receive an income that you will be happy with.
As a rule you need to be able to contact the compay in which you purchased your product and be able to obtain a refund if the product is not what you expected. Most will offer a 100% money back guarantee, but aware that very few actually honour this.
Make sure you forget about all the so called testimonals, and all the selling hype, including the "only 5 positions left" or "only 2 days left at this price" nonsense. Really have a look at what you are buying, then assume that it may work, but do not expect your money back.

- Don't believe all the claims you read even the reviews
- Don't buy anything until you have 3rd party proof
- Plainly speaking: Don't get taken for a ride!
Which ever path you take, make sure that you try to give it a go. You will surprised how times I have heard the saying, it didn't work for me, but John made a fortune. What may be right for you, may not be right for others. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. So try to have a drink if you can.

Blogging Fun - Designing & Presentation
Blogging - Creating a good design is very important. Presentation is a major factor which attracts people to your site. Blogging may not be the world of press articles, but these articles are important to you and your readers. Headlines and good subject/description headings are also a very major draw card.
Select your layout and then select all the coloring to suit what you would think is appealing. In the google blog area, you can follow simple steps. Just have a look around the site and the layout and setting page and you should find everything you will need. Re-arrange the positioning of the default set up in your template.
Now with the Blog up and running and you have written your first blog, you must feel good about yourself. Keep the feeling happening, and follow through with another well written article, but remember what you have learned about writing what you know. You will find numerous pages on most subjects, but everything you write is yours. At first don't dwell on whether you are getting readers or not. Just enjoy what you are doing.
Traffic to your blog will eventually come, and then you will have readers waiting on what you will write next. Do not change subject too quickly. Go as far as you can on one subject and then slowly make the change to the next one.
All important, is you must submit more articles to your blog, as regular as possible. If you would like to attract more traffic, then everyday articles are a good way of doing this.
There are many ebook writers/sellers out there that will give you a great deal of information. Many may be called scams, but as the truth been known, you may feel frustrated that you are not gaining a thousand dollar a week promise, but utilise the information you are given and learn from it.
One of the best for information is "ProfitLance". This site carries a good quantity and quality of ebooks. They even give you information on Blogging.
Amazon also sells good books on different Blogging/Marketing & Affiliate information.
Please remember to enjoy yourself.

Blogging - Join the Fun - Blog Marketing
Blogging makes advertising on the internet so simple. Linking your affliates can add a little spice to all this fun.
Once you have created your blogging account, selecting a topic couldn't be easier. Talk about what you know and if you are not sure about all the facts on your topic, you can research on the internet.
People are hungry for information, and we are looking to the internet to feed our hunger.
After you feel confident to choose your own topic, you can literally pull many blog chapters to keep you going for at least a week before you move onto the next topic. If you are smart enough to look around and determine what interests you and those around you.
Think of recent problems that you have solved. Just think you may not have been the only one with that particular problem. Just like what I am doing now.
People love to read how others have solved a problem that you currently have. So brainstorm a list of problems in your life and in the lives of those around you. Your closest friend just lost his/her job. Your sister's little girl had whooping cough. How have they coped and were solutions found? Everyday problems are the subject that people love to read about. We love to solve problems, and now we can write about them, and maybe just maybe you may have helped someone else.
This then leads to using this talent more and more often, and adding links of your affliates to your blog to start your internet income.

Making Money on the Internet - Is it really what you want?
I am like many other people who have asked that very question. Is working from home, trying to make some extra cash on the internet really worth getting caught by all the frauds.
I started reading as much as I could, keeping an open mind. There was just so much out there, that I did not know where to start.
I have been burnt a few times, buying products or so called product that if you do this or that it will make you $$$$$. My paypal account has quite a long list of transactions that were just a waste of time. Getting a refund was like trying to get blood out of a stone.
Points which you should make sure you do!
Observe what is going on around you!
Find the things that you are interested in and see where it takes you.
If you like writing then you could start by getting a blog like this one up and running. There are many free blog sites, just go to google or any search engine and type in blog or blogging. To learn how to use Blogs, do another search and type in the words "blogging tutorial" I am sure that you will find the information you need.
Once you have posted a few blogs, you will get the hang of it. Enjoy!

Affiliate Marketing - Do You Have What it Takes to Succeed in Affiliate Marketing?
I made the decision a few months ago to try my hand at internet marketing. Honestly, I had no clue what I was getting into. I had no idea exactly what the industry was like or how difficult it can be to make money. I read all of the ads and hype about how quickly I would be raking in the bucks as long as I followed such and such plan or bought this or that ebook. One concept that did catch my eye and made more sense than most was the idea of affiliate marketing. Creating passive income appealed to me. So, I did find one or two really good books on affiliate marketing and began my new adventure. I had no idea that there would be so much to figure out, and that it would take quite a bit of time and effort to start really seeing results.
Time and effort. These are the two schools of thought that seem to escape many people who go into affiliate marketing with the idea that putting a banner on a website or blog will be enough. I had the same thought. Since that's not the case of course, they become disgruntled and start blaming the industry rather than taking more time to learn and try new techniques. What are the most important skills and attributes that a person must embrace before they can expect to succeed in affiliate marketing?
Must be willing to invest time and effort into building their new business. The desired outcome will not occur overnight, there will not be immediate results, but consistency and determination do produce positive results.
