Hello again, and welcome to this weeks
letter! I hope this weeks issue finds you well,
and your online business continuing to grow and
thrive.
My ability to work on my business this week
has been somewhat reduced. I had to take my
laptop into the computer shop for repairs
(problems with the screen), which means at the
moment I've only got limited computer
access.
I guess this means I'm going to have to get a
second computer sometime :-)
As it turns out, I managed to do something
silly before I took the computer in for repair.
I backed up most of the files from my computer,
but I forget to backup my email!
I know I had several emails to reply to - I
just can't remember what they were about, or who
they were to.
Hopefully the people who wrote to me will be
patient...

I've got two great discounts for you that I
wanted to pass on.
http://www.achievenetprofits.com/special/
The first is for '7 Fast Ways To Get Great
Links To Your Site'. The name says pretty much
what this product (a set of movies) is about, so
I won't go into any more details.
The second discount is for the ebook 'How To
Set Up A Secure Members Area For Free'. This
ebook covers how you can set up a membership
site (a web site where only people you want to
access it can - eg: people who have paid you).
Best of all, the book uses free software to set
the site up!
Both books have a RRP of $24.95, but
subscribers can buy either of them for $13.

There are a few other discounts on that page,
so even if those two don't interest you
something else there might. Check it out.

This weeks interview snippet comes from
Claire Williams. My interview with Claire was
rather different from most, as Claire hasn't
become hugely successful online (yet), earning
large sums of money.
So why interview her? Because Claire is a
rather unique online entrepreneur - she suffers
from Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome /Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome.
Suffering from CFS means that Claire is
unable to have a 'normal' job. In fact, her
health is so bad that often she is only able to
work for 20 minutes a day - and some days she is
so sick she can't work at all!
Many people might give up at this point,
saying that running an online business is "too
hard".
But not Claire. She has done what a lot of
people don't - she has TAKEN ACTION. And the
results (a massive web site with information for
people who suffer from CFS and depression -
http://www.sleepydust.net/)
are both impressive and inspirational.
I asked Claire if she could pass on any
advice for people who due to sickness (or some
other reason) thought that they could never run
an online business because "it just wasn't
possible with their condition". This is what she
had to say...
Hmmnnn... well that all depends on
what your disability or health condition is.
If you can sit at a computer and can read,
comprehend, and write for even as little as
20 minutes a day, then I'd say you can do it.
It just takes us longer to do things - but
better to do it, then all those millions of
'healthy' people who aren't doing it at all.
In that respect, you're ahead in the
race.
The only way you can fail is to never try,
or to stop trying.
So to succeed - you just need to never
stop trying. That goes for everything in life
- not just starting up your own successful
online business. Perseverance and patience
wins the game.
If you have a disability or health
condition and are wondering if you can really
work from home, especially running your own
website, then it might be an idea to sign up
to the free sleepydust ezine - if only for
the monthly work-at-home articles - they are
geared towards people just like you and
me.
And running your own website is easier
than you think!
Many people are scared because they think
it's too expensive, or they don't know how to
code websites, or... the list goes on.
But most of these - if not all of these
worries are just myths.
You can set up your own website without
spending a penny these days - but buying your
own web domain is advisable if you want to
look like a serious business (a web domain is
like 'sleepydust.net' or
'achievenetprofits.com'). But it's cheap to
buy a web domain these days anyway!
And nowadays, you don't even have to know
how to code your own website. There are
software programs out there that will do that
for you.
SBI does that - there are so many people -
from graduates to high-school drop-outs, who
don't know how to code, but are using SBI to
run their websites. And what's more, they're
making a good living from them! It's really
worth taking a look at it.
If you're still wondering if you really
can run your own website when you are
chronically ill or are disabled, take a look
at
http://www.sleepydust.net/running-your-own-website-is-easier-thank-you-think.html
And you can also check out the
work-at-home section here:
http://www.sleepydust.net/WORK-FROM-HOME.html
And what better way to earn money than to
work from home?
You work when you want - whether than be
at 4am at night, or mid-afternoon.
You work where you want. Got a laptop?
Work on the sofa, in bed, round your friend's
house - where ever you want.
You work for how long you want -
especially important for people who are ill
and who need to rest alot!
And best, YOU set the topic of your
website so you work on WHAT you want.
Choosing a topic that you are passionate
about means that work becomes play - how cool
is that???
-- Claire Williams, http://www.sleepydust.net/
Claire passes on a lot of good info in her
interview. How she researched all the material
that she has put on her web site. How she
decided what pages to split the material over.
How she has chosen the affiliate programs she is
promoting on the site. And much much more.
The interview is not only informative, but
inspirational.
Claire's interview is part of the collection
of 83 interviews, 264 downloads (many with
reprint rights), 24 discounts and 975 minutes of
training videos that are part of the membership
site. Join now by visiting http://www.achievenetprofits.com
(And remember, you pay only a once-off fee
for a lifetime membership!)
I hope you check it out.
Anyway, that's about it for me this week. I
hope you have a great week, and I'll see you
next week (hopefully writing via my own
computer!)
Cheers,
Jason
