The way that having an internet business works is that you have to
pay the fee to have internet service provider–an ISP,
then you have to pay a hosting fee for your website unless you get a free one. The free ones are NOT advised because since I sell my books on Clickbank, they do not permit their vendors to use free hosting services. I pay $44.95 every quarter. Presently, my $44.95 is due December 31 so that I can have a website showing January- March. I am with a dependable company called SiteVision. (http://sitevision.com) The web site that you see (http://wellmakeit.com) will still be there no matter what, but the hosting company’s servers just won’t allow it to be shown to the regular public unless the “hosting fee” is paid.
I am with Clickbank.com and Paydotcom.com because they allow other people to also sell my products. People who sell other people’s products are called “affiliates”. With Clickbank and Paydotcom.com, the vendor doesNOT have to pay another hosting fee. In other words, we get to use their servers for free. We can sell as many products as we want. For Clickbank.com, the first product is $49.95 to sell. I already have a page showing the ebooks that someone can buy individually. I plan to break out more. Since I already have a “gateway page”
( http://www.wellmakeit.com/books/index.html) already set up I would never have to pay another Clickbank fee. Otherwise, every time I wanted to sell another product on Clickbank, with a new account, I would have to pay another $29.95 per product. I have at least 3 to 6 more ebooks I would want to put unto Clickbank and more forthcoming. That $29.95 would really add up.
Paydotcom.com has a free membership to sell just one item.
However, it costs a onetime $29 to sell an unlimited number of items.
What do you need to be able to sell on Paydotcom.com and Clickbank? Pitch page (or sales page) such as
http://www.wellmakeit.com/books/pitch_business_boot_camp_paypal.html
and a Thank You page which is where you thank people for buying the product and they instantly download it.
I recommend having a PayPal account. If you want a free email address, I recommend gmail which is a product of Google. Most internet companies use PayPal as a way of paying out commissions and for collecting money from customers.
With any internet business, your “infrastructure”, the money that has to be spent just to maintain it, is the monthly maintenance fee for the web designer. This maintenance fee covers them adding and subtracting things to and from the website. The next fee is for them to build extra pages. That includes Pitch pages and Thank You pages.
Hope this helps.

I am going to be so bold as to say that a very HIGH number of adults in the United States have a disability…maybe 50% ??? (I am even talking about joint pains which keep people under 40 awake at night, but may not be classified as a “disability”.) Why do I say this? My experience as a special education teacher seeing people turned down for services lets me know that the numbers affected by disabilities are FAR greater than what gets reported. Scores of adults grew up with dyslexia (like 2 famous movie stars …one made famous in the 1970′s and the other in the 1980′s), but dyslexia is one of those that to my knowledge, does not fetch the federal dollars for special education teacher salaries and other support for students. What happens?
Not everyone is as wealthy as these 2 high profile movie stars. What about the person who is in their 50′s who is extremely hyper, but because they lived in an era when there was no such thing as special education, they were never categorized as eligible to receive services. Let’s take the example of the person who grew up in a rural town that had very little money to spend on books, let alone extra services because their homes had less value and brought in less tax revenue yielding less school revenue. These people, if unsupported, will not realize their full potential in life and will deal with their disabilities, as best they can, but nothing “official” on paper gives them support unless they are really humble and check into it later in life.
I would honestly love to read about the parents of successful people with disabilities. I believe we focus too much on the success and we need to focus on what made the success. I have heard that the man responsible for one of the United State’s largest theme parks may have been classified as having ADHD had he been born 60 years later. What did his parents do differently to enable him to have such enormous success?
What about the adult who has diabetes so severely that thy literally “black out” and remember absolutely nothing. I know of an adult with that condition.
Disabilities, especially when untreated and with little support, can make people unable to mentally process solutions to problems and situations in ways that ENHANCE profit. We can have all of the wonderful marketing tools that money can buy, but if that business owner/manager or employee is not ready, willing and able to fully process all of the information given to them and CREATE additional profitable ideas, you have what you have always had. NOTHING CHANGES.
This can creates an atmosphere of fear..afraid of failure due to not knowing how to process NEW information. I have seen fear torment people. You want all of your employees on board.
Untreated physical disabilities in various forms, have the same unfortunate consequences in the workplace. Just thinking about dealing with it on a day in and day out basis is saddening to the person who does not enjoy much support at home. This wears on the psyche.
I personally know of 2 very happy-type stories wherein the mothers had children, became disabled when the children were around 6 and 7 years old, and the children, one set now in their teens and the children to the other mother now in their late 30′s are VERY supportive of the mother. This has to do with the children’s upbringing. They learned banking transactions and how to pay bills when they could barely reach the bank counter top. They also learned how to cook simple dishes at a very early age. I know of the children in their 30′s and am personal friends with their mother. They totally support the mother both physically, emotionally and financially. I lost contact with the other mother as well as her children.
Please get my upcoming series of ebooks. There is help for you and your employees in them. I look forward to seeing your testimonies. (By the way, you should be able to sell my ebooks and make a second income.)
Contact me. Let’s talk. I enjoy consulting companies as well as doing conferences including church conferences.
I used to be a special education teacher and in my other career, I brought companies $2.4 million in contracts that they performed.

We want to think that we can leave marital problems at home, but we as humans were not designed to be that way quite simply put. Marital problems, as well as other problems, actually yank profit from businesses, regardless of how small. Do you want proof?
Let’s say one spouse is upset with the other and they go to their separate, or same place of work (as is the case with family businesses). Ordinarily, these 2 people walk together so closely, it is as though they are a seamless pair. One thinks it and the other is already doing it. That is true unity and the way it is supposed to be. Their subconscious is actually connected to one another on a deeper level. Being in love, one might not always “feel” in love, depending upon having young children and losing sleep (often a by product of having children close in age). Well, just using my husband as an example, he can meet someone and within a good minute, have them summed up…correctly I might add. It bothers me to think that one day we might have an argument and I might make a business decision that I would regret because I did not bother to consult with him because I had given myself license to carry over unforgiveness into the next day. Do you see how dangerous that can be? There is a domino effect with other decisions being made inefficiently due to our minds, not made to hold a lot of bad “stuff” , have to deal with moving around the bad “stuff” and come up with decisions that take all factors into account.
How can I unofficially prove that unforgiveness occupies the part of the brain that would otherwise render us really effective problem solvers? Easy. Try, one day, thinking of all of the people that you feel have done you or your family wrongly. Then, practice every time you think of that offence, saying, “I forgive them. That person is no longer indepted to me to owe me an apology. I also do not want to see them nor their family suffering harm.” Pretty soon, even if you can just say, “I release forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness”, thus letting it settle into your subconscious that you are purposefully overriding your past ways of thinking, profitable and very different business ideas will literally come to you.
Happiness and true joy will be able to settle into you and will no longer be fleeting. Guard your mind and guard your heart against every weight and wrong doing and it becomes such a way of life that you may actually feel healthier. Some cancer and arthritis patients seem to have unforgiveness towards someone or something in their past. As is publicly known, this link with these ailments and unforgiveness is being closely explored. (Ever heard someone say such and such is eating at me. See the relationship of unforgiveness to *cancer and arthritis. Both ailments are characterized by eating up something that is supposed to be there.
You can institute all of the most wonderful marketing schemes and use the most high-powered advertising firms with the money of a multi-billionnaire. But realize, even you can still lose money hand over fist with this type of problem lurking in the shadows.
*This in no way indicates that all cancers or athritises are linked to unforgiveness. Dear Mr. FDA, please don’t sue me. These statements are not meant to diagnose, treat nor cure any disease or ailment.
