As an affiliate marketer you have to be constantly finding an edge over your competitors or at the very least follow their lead as long as it is legal. Finding quality affiliate marketing tools is also a must. Blogging and using Twitter are two tools you should have in your marketing arsenal especially since both platforms are absolutely free. Combining these two blogging and micro-blogging platforms can help you bring a huge wave of traffic to your marketing campaigns.
What is WordPress?

WordPress is a blog publishing system written in PHP. All date is stored in MySQL database. WordPress is the official successor of b2/cafelog, developed by Michel Valdrighi. The name WordPress was suggested by Christine Selleck, a friend of lead developer Matt Mullenweg.
What is Twitter?

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send updates (otherwise known as tweets) which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.
What makes these two blogging platforms so powerful is the ability to get your word out to as many people as possible much faster than you could have ever imagined. In some cases if done right can help you rank high by the search engines as well.
Imagine if you can use both WordPress and Twitter simultaneously to create a viral marketing wave of traffic.

Creating MySpace Designs – Make Your Profile Unique
So you’ve just registered with MySpace and now you’re wondering where to start with creating your MySpace Design, you want your profile to uniquely stand out but don’t know how to? Well here are a few tips to make your profile the one everyone is talking about.
Make your Design Simple! You want your profile to stand out and grab people’s attention, without coming across as an attention seeker. This could be as simple as changing the background colour or layout, just remember to choose something that matches your own individual personality.
Be Unique! But this doesn’t have to mean your MySpace Design still can’t be simple right? If you have a unique talent, unusual interest or hobby or just something that makes you different, why not include that somewhere in your design? This can be simply done by including a picture of your hobby or interest into your background.
Choose the Right Name and Headline! This is one of the first parts of your profile people will view and they will make instant judgements about you so make sure they are good ones by choosing a name and headline that reflects you.
Make sure not to include any rude, crude or offensive language and keep jokes to a minimum, something that is funny to you might not be to someone else.
But the most important tip of all is to make your MySpace Design reflect you and your own personality, because this is what makes you unique and will make your profile stand out.

Auto Suggestion – Financial Freedom
The Medium for Influencing the Subconscious Mind
Until I started reading, actually absorbing Napoleon Hills book, Think and Grow Rich, I had forgotten that this is a skill my mother taught me for years, without me actually realising it was ‘auto-suggestion’, as described in Napoleon’s book.
Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich, Chapter Two, he insists that you write down your Desire’s, I believe the beginning of ‘one’s personal freedom’ is the process of writing it all down, it actually anchors your thoughts, it makes them a physical ‘being’ because these, your thoughts, are now ‘written’.
Where does the auto-suggestion come from then? Napoleon’s steps in Chapter Two, Desire, are concise;
1. Decide what the exact amount of money you want!
2. What are you going to give in return for this desired amount of money?
3. Decide a definite date by which this amount of money you desire will be acquired!
4. Create your plan – whether you are ready not, put this plan of desire into action now!
5. Write down a clear and concise statement of the amount of money you desire, how you plan to achieve this and by when and what you plan to give in exchange for this (remember give and thine shall receive or give nothing receive nothing!)
6. Read this statement to yourself morning and night out loud not in your head.
To show you how easy this can be, a plan could look something like this;
“In my first year of business I desire to earn $100,000. To achieve this desired sum, I will coach, mentor, and teach frustrated network marketers to become successful leaders: regardless of their company affiliation and I will do it for free. I intend to reach my desired goal by 31 March 2010 by working daily in my business, helping people to the best of my ability and working through the processes I have set in place to achieve this desire.”
All Napoleon Hills requirements are covered in the above, but acquiring this thought process, auto-suggestion, is not easy; it takes repetition, belief in you, commitment and hard work.
Napoleon Hill also recommends belonging to a group that ‘Masterminds’ his chapters weekly, this can assist learning from others, helps yourself and other ‘materminders’ to achieve and work through the same process, it can help the belief in yourself and can help them to believe in themselves.
As Napoleon says “thoughts are things, powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches or other material objects” this can come about.
