Hi — Eddie Hampton here.
I’m usually ok about writing, but I’m not so hot at writing my “about” pages. I find them difficult to write without sounding like unabashed bosting, or completely boring.
Any way, here goes…
At 72 years of age (yes you read that correctly) I have had a hard working life in the construction industry rising to the dizzy heights of “Building Maintenance Surveyor” I followed that by developing and managing the companies first & second central control centers. I retired at 62yrs. of age intending to enjoy the rest of my days fishing and camping. I was soon head hunted by a large Management Co; (who manage private estates for the over 55year olds) to manage a few of their schemes whenever their House Managers were off duty during sickness or holidays etc.
That lasted until my 70th. birthday. The company policy was every one reaching 70yrs. of age had to retire.
Bordem soon set in and my need to learn how to use my computer for the purpose of earning as much money as I could became my passion. Lots of costly mistakes followed until I eventually hit on “How To Make Money Selling Other People’s Stuff In 3 Hours Or Less Each Week”
I am often asked what are the “must haves” for making money online. And I always tell them the same thing. There are only four things that you need to have a hugely successful internet business. These are the same four things that I’ve focused on. Here they are…
1) An offer.
2) A list to promote the offer.
3) Traffic to build the list.
That’s it. End of story. You need nothing else.
To be sure, there are many variables and options in each of those. But, at the end of the day, those three things will build you an internet business to match your dreams.
My own personal recommendation for these is simple …
1) An offer. Start a membership site where you can get paid month after month after month from the SAME customer. You can get started in as little as 48 hours with only ONE lesson if you create a “fixed term” autoresponder membership site. Click Here for complete details.
2) A list to promote the offer. I always recommend the List P.R.O.F.I.T. System for anyone wanting to build a list. It starts from “nothing” and takes you all the way to not only having subscribers on your list, but making money from them. Click Here for complete details.
3) Traffic to build the list. There is only ONE traffic source worth talking about. And that’s free partner traffic. Most “gurus” get the overwhelming majority of their traffic from this source. The most “authoritative” course ever created on getting other people to drive free traffic to your site for you is Sales Army Secrets. Heck, even Allan Gardyne of AssociatePrograms.com USES it and PROMOTES it as an affiliate — and he’s considered THE go-to guy in affiliate program expertise. Click Here for complete details.
Anyway, that’s who I am. That’s what I do. If you focus on those three things as I have , then that’s all you need. Everything else is a distraction, but…….. to carry on a successful business a man (or woman) must have imagination. He (she) must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing. So claims Charles M. Schwab, Industrialist. Here are two books to help you on your way:
1) “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.
2) “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne
On a personal note, I have two daughters. My eldest, Karen, is a language teacher and my youngest daughter, Jayne, has a successful computer business with her husband. I am lucky to have three grand children. I still play tennis, I love ballroom dancing and now enjoy bowls. I also keep fit working out at the gym. My favourite charity is The Salvation Army. They were the first to help my parents and us kids, and neighbours, with blankets, hot drinks and shelter when we were bombed during the last war.
I’ll close with a few my favorite quotes from “The Secret” that always motivates me:
1. We all work with one infinite power
2. The Secret is the Law of Attraction (LOA)
3. Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting
4. We are like magnets – like attracts like. You become AND attract what you think
God bless,
Edward Hampton (Eddie to friends)
