			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> Secrets of Affiliate Marketing </h2>
<p> Affiliate marketing is by far the fastest way to get started earning a living online. Affiliate marketing means that all you do is sendhits to someone else&#8217;s website, they handle the sales, support and billing, and you keep 50% or more of the sales </p>
<h2> Here&#8217;s just a few benefits </h2>
<ol>
<li> You&#8217;re able to start instantly without having to make a product, craft a sales letter, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing &#038; delivery system. </li>
<li> You have practically zero time investment because they handle the billing, support, maintenance, etc. </li>
<li> Your efforts are risk-free, because the product owner has already done all the research , development and testing. So you already know that the visitors you send will result in commissions for you. </li>
</ol>
<p> There&#8217;s no denying that these benefits make affiliate marketing the best thing going! </p>
<h2> OK, but it&#8217;s not all rosy&#8230; </h2>
<p> You work hard to send the traffic to the product owner&#8217;s website, but once you do that you will never see those visitors again. Unfortunately, the majority of those visitors (at least 90%) will not buy on their first visit. That&#8217;s fine for the product owner because she can sell to them again and again, but you can&#8217;t. </p>
<h2> Is there are way around this? </h2>
<p> It&#8217;s simple: You must get your visitors&#8217; email addresses before you send them to the product owner&#8217;s website. By getting their contact info, you can follow up increase your odds of making the sale by sending them back to the product owner&#8217;s website multiple times. And if you want to do it like a pro, you&#8217;ll give them some great content before sending them to the sales page. </p>
<p> Here&#8217;s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you: </p>
<ol>
<li> Owning a list of potential buyers gives you the ability to market additional products at the push of a button. </li>
<li> You&#8217;ll be warming them up by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information. </li>
</ol>
<p> In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate marketing tools</a>: </p>
<ol>
<li> A squeeze page, and even better a Video squeeze page. </li>
<li> At least a few pages of great content </li>
<li> At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series </li>
</ol>
<p> You&#8217;ll use the squeeze page as the place to send your visitors instead of using the product website. This page is where you collect your visitors&#8217; contact info and add them to your autoresponder, which in turn starts sending them the multi-part email series. Once your visitors have been subscribed to your email series, they are sent to your content pages. </p>
<p> You content mini-site builds the good will, so that when you send them to the product sales page, they are in a buying mood. While they&#8217;re reading the content you&#8217;ve provided, your email system is already following up with them to send them back to the product website again and again. </p>
<p> Putting all of these pieces together will increase your sales by 500% or more, so it&#8217;s obviously worth the time and energy to do it. And after you get it all set up, it runs on total auto-pilot. You just refer people to your lead capture page, instead of the product sales page. </p>
<p> If you don&#8217;t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">Affiliate Silver Bullet</a>. These kinds of services will build the whole system for you and then just give you a video squeeze page (with video), pre-written emails, content pages, etc. The major benefit of using a service like this is that you can get started right away, and for a whole lot less than it would cost to do it all yourself. One negative is that there will be other people using this same <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate marketing system</a>. However, the odds of you and them both finding the same visitor are so small, that it doesn&#8217;t really matter. </p>
<p> Another way to accomplish this is to hire &#8220;outsourcers&#8221; through a website like Elance to build and put your system together for you. The important thing is that you start using <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate tools</a> like the ones described here right now! Otherwise, you&#8217;re wasting your time and money. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> Secrets of Affiliate Marketing </h2>
<p> If you want to get started quickly and easily making money online, then affiliate marketing is for you. Affiliate marketing means that all you do is sendtraffic to someone else&#8217;s website, they handle the sales, support and billing, and you keep 50% or more of the sales </p>
<h2> Here&#8217;s just a few benefits </h2>
<ol>
<li> You can start almost instantly with no up-front costs and no need to develop a product, write the sales page, develop the website, come up with support tools, or set up the ordering, billing &#038; delivery system. </li>
<li> It&#8217;s completely hands-freefor you because they handle the billing, support, maintenance, etc. </li>
<li> There&#8217;s no risk for you, because the product owner has already done all the research , development and testing. So you know that your traffic will result in sales. </li>
</ol>
<p> Looking at these benefits, it&#8217;s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go! </p>
<h2> There is one major drawback&#8230; </h2>
<p> After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Unfortunately, the majority of those visitors (at least 90%) will not buy on their first visit. The 10% or less that make a purchase now belong to the product owner. She can sell them additional products, but you can never sell to them again. </p>
<h2> How can you avoid this pitfall? </h2>
<p> Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. If you do that, you can contact them again and send them back the product website multiple times. This will increase the number of sales you make. And if you&#8217;re a super star affiliate, you&#8217;ll provide high-quality content before sending them to the product website. </p>
<p> Here&#8217;s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you: </p>
<ol>
<li> By building your own list, you&#8217;re creating a renewable resource that you can tap again and again for instant profits. </li>
<li> You&#8217;re generating good will by giving them high-quality content. This way, they are much more likely to make a purchase when you send them to the sales page. </li>
</ol>
<p> In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate marketing tools</a>: </p>
<ol>
<li> A lead capture page, preferably with video </li>
<li> One or more content-rich &#8220;warm up&#8221; pages </li>
<li> At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series </li>
</ol>
<p> The video squeeze page is where you&#8217;ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your content pages after they subscribe to your email series. </p>
<p> These high-quality content pages provide value and build good will. This way your visitor is more likely to buy when they get to the product owner&#8217;s website. And at the same time, the email series begins following up with them to get them back to the sales page, in case they don&#8217;t buy on the first visit. </p>
<p> There&#8217;s no doubt that it&#8217;s worth the effort to put a system like this in place, because doing so will increase your profits by 500% or more. And once it&#8217;s set up, it runs automatically &#8211; you just send visitors to the squeeze page, instead of the product website. </p>
<p> If you don&#8217;t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">Affiliate Silver Bullet</a>. These kinds of services will build the whole system for you and then just give you a video squeeze page (with video), pre-written emails, content pages, etc. The benefit is that it&#8217;s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it&#8217;s instantly set up. The drawback is that you won&#8217;t be the only one using these <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate tools</a>. But the internet is huge, so this shouldn&#8217;t really affect you. </p>
<p> Alternatively, you can use a service like Elance to &#8220;outsource&#8221; each of these compnents. Whichever way you decided to go, it&#8217;s critical to get an <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate marketing system</a> like this in place, if you&#8217;re at all serious about your business. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Bible talks about the Pre-Flood Era and the Increasing Corruption on Earth which provoked God&#8217;s wrath so that He flooded the earth.  The Bible says:</p>
<p>When man began to multiply on the face of the Earth and daughters were born to them, the Sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they married them.</p>
<p>Then the LORD said, &#8220;My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, his days shall be 120 years. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the Sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.</p>
<p>The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, &#8220;I will wipe off man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.&#8221;  But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Herein, there are some points; they are:</strong></p>
<p>Why only daughters were born unto man?<br />
Who are the Sons of God and how many they were?<br />
Also, nothing can or could, will or would grieve Allah.  Also, Allah has no heart; He is not like us or like anything else.<br />
Is man&#8217;s age 120 years as the Lord God has decided?<br />
Allah never ever repents of anything He did, He does and/or He will do.<br />
Moreover, although the Biblical God has Spirit, Allah has no Spirit; He is not like us.<br />
In addition, although the Biblical God has heart (and blood vessels and blood consequently), Allah has no heart; He is not like us or like anything else.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the other hand, the Quran does not talk about the Increasing Corruption on Earth in the Pre-Flood Era, but it talks about the corruption on mankind from the time of creation of man up till now.  After Adam&#8217;s fall, Allah gave him and his offspring consequently an advice (Verses 20:121-123 and verses 2:38-39); hereupon, Allah sent Prophets to every nation on the Earth and He ends the Prophethood with the last Prophet, Muhammad (Verses 43:6-7 and verses 35:24-25).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>After Adam&#8217;s fall, Allah gave him and his offspring consequently an advice</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The meanings of the verses 20:121-123</p>
<p>And Adam disobeyed his Lord and so he erred, by [his] eating from the tree.</p>
<p>Then his Lord chose him, He brought him close [to Him], and relent to him,</p>
<p>Then Allah chose him, He accepted his repentance, overlooked his sin and guided him to seek repentance regularly.</p>
<p>[N.B., In the Bible, the Lord has not accepted Adam's repentance; that is why He sent his son to the Earth.] </p>
<p>And Allah said, ‘Go down both of you, that is, Adam and Eve, including all of your progeny, from it, from the Garden, all together, some of you, some of the progeny, being enemies of others, because of some wronging others. Yet if there should come to you guidance (a Scripture, a Messenger, and/ or a Prophet) from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, shall not go astray in the life of this world nor come to grief in the Hereafter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The meanings of the verses 2:38-39</p>
<p>Allah said to Adam, Eve, and Satan, ‘Go down from the Heaven, all together. Then Allah mentioned Adam&#8217;s progeny, from hence; when and whenever it comes to you, from Me a guidance, whoever follows My guidance, believing in me and performing deeds in obedience of Me, no fear shall befall them, neither shall they grieve, in the Hereafter, since they will be admitted into Paradise.</p>
<p>But those who disbelieve, and deny our guidance, they will be the rightful owners of the Eternal Fire; they will abide therein forever, they will remain perpetually in hell: never to die or be released from it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Allah sent Prophets to every nation on the Earth and He ends the Prophethood with the last Prophet, Muhammad</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The meanings of the verses 43:6-7</p>
<p>Allah asks the Historian this Question  </p>
<p>And how many a prophet did Allah send among the ancients!  O Muhammad, Allah knew that they would not believe, but Allah nonetheless did not leave the bygone nations without messengers and Scriptures!  And never came to these past nations a Prophet but they used to mock their Prophets, in the same way that your people deride you O Muhammad.</p>
<p>It follows that, in contrary to the Bible which states that all the Prophets were Israelites, every ancient nation had its own Prophet; the historians and researchers have to dig through the history to explore the prophets sent to America, Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. </p>
<p>It should be emphasized that Allah sent a Prophet (Idris); the scholar said that he was an Egyptian Prophet sent to the Ancient Egypt before the Flood (Verses 19:56-57). Idris is not mentioned in the Bible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The meanings of the verses 35:24-25</p>
<p>Lo! Allah has sent you O Muhammad with the Truth, with the Quran, as a bearer of glad tidings, announcing Paradise for whoever believes in Allah, and as a Warner from the Fire for whoever disbelieves in Allah; and there is not a nation except that they had a warning messenger. In other words, there is not a nation or a community before you O Muhammad but a Warner has passed among them to warn them.</p>
<p>And if they deny you O Muhammad, those before them also denied their messengers who brought them manifest signs, miracles and with scriptures.  In other words, the messengers before Muhammad came unto their nations with clear proofs of Allah&#8217;s Sovereignty; they came to them with commands, prohibitions and signs, and with the Scripture expositing the lawful and the unlawful.</p>
<p>It is interesting that the Bible which is a historical book declares that all the Prophets sent by the Lord God were Israelites who were in the area of Iraq, Palestine and Egypt.  On the other hand, the Quran which is not a historical book challenges the Historians and declares that Allah sent a Prophet to every ancient nation.  Hence, the Historian have to find out who are the prophets sent to America, Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>==================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Bible (King James Version)</p>
<p>Genesis 6:1-7</p>
<p>1) And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,</p>
<p>2) That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.</p>
<p>3) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.</p>
<p>4) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.</p>
<p>5) And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.</p>
<p>6) And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.</p>
<p>7) And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.</p>
<p>8But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.</p>
<p>==================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Quran (Pickthal translation)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Verses 43:6-7 </p>
<p>6) How many a prophet did we send among the men of old (the ancients)!</p>
<p>7) And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Verses 35:24-25</p>
<p>24) Lo! We have sent thee with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a Warner; and there is not a nation but a Warner hath passed among them.</p>
<p>25) And if they deny thee, those before them also denied. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah&#8217;s sovereignty), and with the psalms and the scripture giving light.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Verses 20:121-123</p>
<p>121) … and Adam disobeyed his lord, so went astray.</p>
<p>122)  Then his lord chose him, and relented toward him, and guided him.</p>
<p>123)  He said: go down hence, both of you, one of you a foe unto the other. But when there come unto you from me guidance, then whoso followeth my guidance, he will not go astray nor come to grief.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Verses 2:38-39</p>
<p>38) We said: go down, all of you, from hence; but verily there cometh unto you from me guidance; and whoso followeth my guidance, there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.</p>
<p>39) But they who disbelieve, and deny our revelations, such are rightful peoples of the fire. They will abide therein.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:</p>
<p>Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> Learn Top Affiliate Secrets </h2>
<p> If you want to get started quickly and easily in internet marketing, then affiliate marketing is for you. Affiliate marketing means that all you do is sendhits to someone else&#8217;s website, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you keep 50% or more of the sales </p>
<h2> These are a some of the benefits </h2>
<ol>
<li> You can get started right away because you don&#8217;t have to make a product, craft a sales letter, develop the website, develop marketing materials, or do support, billing and maintenance. </li>
<li> It&#8217;s completely hands-freefor you because you don&#8217;t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues. </li>
<li> Your efforts are risk-free, because the product owner has already done all the research , development and testing. So you already know that the visitors you send will result in commissions for you. </li>
</ol>
<p> There&#8217;s no denying that these benefits make affiliate marketing the best thing going! </p>
<h2> The downside is&#8230; </h2>
<p> Once you send your visitors to the product sales page, they are gone forever. Less than 10% of the visitors your send will actually buy the product. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not. </p>
<h2> How can you avoid this pitfall? </h2>
<p> Simply put, you need to capture the name and email of your visitors *before* sending them to the product sales page. If you do that, you can contact them again and send them back the product website multiple times. This will increase the number of sales you make. And if you&#8217;re a super star affiliate, you&#8217;ll provide high-quality content before sending them to the product website. </p>
<p> Here&#8217;s why you want to implement these affiliate marketing strategies: </p>
<ol>
<li> Owning a list of potential buyers gives you the ability to market additional products at the push of a button. </li>
<li> You&#8217;ll be warming them up by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information. </li>
</ol>
<p> In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate marketing tools</a>: </p>
<ol>
<li> A squeeze page, and even better a Video squeeze page. </li>
<li> At least a few pages of great content </li>
<li> An email series with at least 5 high-quality content emails </li>
</ol>
<p> The video squeeze page is where you&#8217;ll direct your traffic instead of directly to the product sales page. This page is where you collect your visitors&#8217; contact info and add them to your autoresponder, which in turn starts sending them the multi-part email series. After subscribing them to your email list, it redirects them to your content mini-site. </p>
<p> These high-quality content pages provide value and build good will. This way your visitor is more likely to buy when they get to the product owner&#8217;s website. And at the same time, the email series begins following up with them to get them back to the sales page, in case they don&#8217;t buy on the first visit. </p>
<p> Putting all of these pieces together will increase your sales by 500% or more, so it&#8217;s obviously worth the time and energy to do it. And after you get it all set up, it runs on total auto-pilot. You just refer people to your lead capture page, instead of the product sales page. </p>
<p> If you don&#8217;t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">Affiliate Silver Bullet</a>. These kinds of services will build the whole system for you and then just give you a video squeeze page (with video), pre-written emails, content pages, etc. The major benefit of using a service like this is that you can get started right away, and for a whole lot less than it would cost to do it all yourself. The drawback is that you won&#8217;t be the only one using these <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate tools</a>. But the internet is huge, so this shouldn&#8217;t really affect you. </p>
<p> The other route you can take is to hire people on Elance to create and implement the various aspects for you. Either way, it&#8217;s an important step that you need to take if you&#8217;re going to be serious about your <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate marketing</a>. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In his e-book Sayers examines the beliefs and prophecies of many different profits including the Celts, Merlin, Indigenous Americans, Hindus, Nostradamus, the Bible, the Web Bot Project, and of course, the Mayas. Sayers book is very well researched and his explanations are very comprehensive. Whether you are a believer, doubter, or skeptic this book is a fantastic read. You will become informed from this book.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He also covers possible changes in the natural world such as polar shift changes, the importance of sound waves and crop circles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is just a sample of what you will learn in this fantastic book.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) Will the United States survive December 21, 2012? Can we expect a financial system collapse?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2) Find out the place you do not want to be on that prophetic day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3) Find out how the things we take for granted, like going to the bathroom, breathing air, and even drinking water may change forever.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4) Will martial law be forced upon us?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5) What you can do now to put together a survival plan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is commonly believed something important, and hopefully not devastating, will occur on December 21, 2012. The question is if it does are you ready? If you are a skeptic now you may become a believer.  If you are a believer, you will want to get prepared.  At the very least you will have a better understanding of what could possibly occur on this day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This book is not entertainment. It is informative, well-written, easy to read and understand and most of all, the most comprehensive book about December 21, 2012.  This day is less than 2 ½ years from now and approaching fast.  I recommend reading this book before it is too late.  It may scare you, but it should prepare you.</p>
<p> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> Winning Affiliate Marketing Strategies </h2>
<p> If you want to get started quickly and easily making money online, then affiliate marketing is for you. This is when you send visitors to someone else&#8217;s product sales page, they handle the sales, support and billing, and you get a percentage of the sale price as your commission, which for digital products can be 50% of more. </p>
<h2> Here&#8217;s just a few benefits </h2>
<ol>
<li> You&#8217;re able to start right now without having to make a product, craft a sales letter, develop the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing &#038; delivery system. </li>
<li> There&#8217;s no time investment from you because you don&#8217;t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues. </li>
<li> Your efforts are risk-free, because the product owner has already done all the research , development and testing. So if you send visitors you will get paid. </li>
</ol>
<p> There&#8217;s no denying that these benefits make affiliate marketing the best thing going! </p>
<h2> OK, but it&#8217;s not all rosy&#8230; </h2>
<p> You work hard to send the traffic to the product owner&#8217;s website, but once you do that you will never see those visitors again. Less than 10% of the visitors your send will actually buy the product. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not. </p>
<h2> Is there are way around this? </h2>
<p> What you need to do is capture the contact info of your visitors before sending them to the product website. If you do that, you can contact them again and send them back the product website multiple times. This will increase the number of sales you make. And if you want to do it like a pro, you&#8217;ll give them some great content before sending them to the sales page. </p>
<p> Here&#8217;s what these affiliate marketing strategies will do for you: </p>
<ol>
<li> Owning a list of potential buyers gives you the ability to market additional products at the push of a button. </li>
<li> You&#8217;re generating good will by giving them high-quality content. This way, they are much more likely to make a purchase when you send them to the sales page. </li>
</ol>
<p> Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need to create <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate tools</a> like this: </p>
<ol>
<li> A Video Squeeze Page (with video) </li>
<li> Several high-quality content pages </li>
<li> A multi-part email series with at least 5 emails in it </li>
</ol>
<p> You&#8217;ll use the squeeze page as the place to send your visitors instead of using the product website. This page is where you collect your visitors&#8217; contact info and add them to your autoresponder, which in turn starts sending them the multi-part email series. Once your visitors have been subscribed to your email series, they are sent to your content pages. </p>
<p> These high-quality content pages provide value and build good will. This way your visitor is more likely to buy when they get to the product owner&#8217;s website. While they&#8217;re reading the content you&#8217;ve provided, your email system is already following up with them to send them back to the product website again and again. </p>
<p> There&#8217;s no doubt that it&#8217;s worth the effort to put a system like this in place, because doing so will increase your profits by 500% or more. And once it&#8217;s set up, it runs automatically &#8211; you just send visitors to the squeeze page, instead of the product website. </p>
<p> If you don&#8217;t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">Affiliate Silver Bullet</a>. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The major benefit of using a service like this is that you can get started right away, and for a whole lot less than it would cost to do it all yourself. The downside is that other people will be using the same <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate tools</a> as you. But the internet is pretty big, so this isn&#8217;t much of a concern. </p>
<p> Another way to accomplish this is to hire &#8220;outsourcers&#8221; through a website like Elance to build and put your system together for you. The important thing is that you start using <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate tools</a> like the ones described here right now! Otherwise, you&#8217;re wasting your time and money. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is Muhammad School-11</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Prophet Muhammad is a clear example of humbleness and modesty.</p>
<p>It is well known that forbids the pride, that is the over self esteem, or the inordinate opinion of one&#8217;s own dignity, or superiority, as a displayed behavior.</p>
<p>The following are just few out of many examples:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) Muhammad: None shall enter Paradise with a grain of pride still in his heart</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Muhammad always said in His Hadith that the one who deserves the pride is Allah, the Almighty Creator.</p>
<p>It is also narrated that the Prophet Muhammad said:</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;None shall enter Paradise with a grain of boast or pride still in the heart.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2) Muhammad: Do not commend me as Christians commend Jesus</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is narrated that the Prophet Muhammad said, &#8220;Do not commend me as Christians commend Jesus the son of Mary. But say about me, the servant and the messenger of Allah.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3) Why the man was very scared of Muhammad?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On one occasion, a newcomer to his gathering was filled with fearfulness and nervousness and he was trembling. The man thought that Muhammad is like the kings who used to cut the neck of anyone with or without any reasons.</p>
<p>When he detected that, the Prophet Muhammad said to the person,</p>
<p>&#8216;Please relax and be at ease! I am not a great king. I am only a son of a lady who ate cured meat.&#8217;  It means that He is the son of an ordinary normal lady.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4) Why Muhammad&#8217;s companions did not stand up upon seeing him</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is narrated that the companions of Prophet Muhammad used to stay sitting when he come because they know how he feels bad when they stand up for him; He did not like them to stand up upon seeing him coming.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5) Muhammad used to help his wives in the chores inside the house</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is narrated that Aisha, Muhammad wife, said, &#8220;Prophet Muhammad used to stitch his clothes, milk the goats and help in the chores inside the house.&#8217;</p>
<p>He used to help his wives in the household tasks and in everyday jobs.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6) Muhammad used to listen to the problems of his followers</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Prophet Muhammad never refused to listen to the problems of his followers.</p>
<p>It is narrated that a poor old lady once told him that she desperately needed to talk to him about a problem. He comforted her by saying that he is prepared to meet her anywhere and on any road of the city (Madina) to discuss the matter that worried her.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>N.B., Hadith = Muhammad&#8217; sayings</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is not advisable to do nothing but wait for the last day. Here are three ways in which you can prepare yourself for this inevitable day, <strong>because December 21, 2012 is going to</strong> <strong>happen.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>(1)  If this date is inevitable, we are all in the same boat. The first thing you must do is prepare yourself mentally. Since you do not really know what will occur on this day you cannot know for sure how to prepare. Therefore, you should at least prepare yourself mentally so that when the day does come you will not find yourself in a state of shock.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(2)  Prepare your family for some kind of eventual occurrence. It may be advisable to stockpile food, water and other essentials so that you will be able to survive for an extended period of time. There has been some speculation that the things we normally take for granted will be affected, such as our drinking water, going to the bathroom and the air we breathe.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(3)  Assuming this actually is the last day you will want to be prepared to meet your maker. You should always be prepared anyway, however, knowing that this day has actually been predicted as being the last day, you have time to prepare. After all, what actually happens on this day is already known to God but he has not revealed all to us imperfect humans. However, it may have been revealed in prophecy to many cultures around the world for thousands of years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We have only a short time to prepare ourselves for what may be the most fantastic event in human history. We can do what we can to prepare ourselves or we can ignore December 21, 2012 as if it is not going to occur. I prefer to be as prepared as possible, as although I do not know what is going to happen on this day, I believe something of grave significance is going to occur.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please think about this and good luck.</p>
<p> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2> Secrets of Affiliate Marketing </h2>
<p> One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online is through affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing means that all you do is sendtraffic to someone else&#8217;s website, they do all the hard work of developing the product, making the sale, delivering the product and supporting the customer, and you get a percentage of the sale price as your commission, which for digital products can be 50% of more. </p>
<h2> The benefits of this are </h2>
<ol>
<li> You&#8217;re able to start right now without having to develop a product, set up a website and sales page, design the website, come up with support tools, or do support, billing and maintenance. </li>
<li> You have practically zero time investment because the product owner does all the hard work of support, maintenance and billing. </li>
<li> There&#8217;s no risk for you, because the product owner has already done all the research , development and testing. So you already know that the visitors you send will result in commissions for you. </li>
</ol>
<p> Looking at these benefits, it&#8217;s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go! </p>
<h2> There is one major drawback&#8230; </h2>
<p> Once you send your visitors to the product sales page, they are gone forever. Unfortunately, the majority of those visitors (at least 90%) will not buy on their first visit. And of the 10% or less that do buy, the product owner will be able to sell to them again, but you will not. </p>
<h2> What&#8217;s the solution? </h2>
<p> What you need to do is capture the contact info of your visitors before sending them to the product website. If you do that, you can contact them again and send them back the product website multiple times. This will increase the number of sales you make. And if you&#8217;re a super star affiliate, you&#8217;ll provide high-quality content before sending them to the product website. </p>
<p> Here&#8217;s why you want to implement these affiliate marketing strategies: </p>
<ol>
<li> You&#8217;ll be building your own list of potential customers that you can market to again and again. </li>
<li> You&#8217;ll be warming them up by providing valuable information and then casually linking to the product sales page in the context of this information. </li>
</ol>
<p> Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need to create <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate tools</a> like this: </p>
<ol>
<li> A lead capture page, preferably with video </li>
<li> At least a few pages of great content </li>
<li> At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series </li>
</ol>
<p> You&#8217;ll use the squeeze page as the place to send your visitors instead of using the product website. This page is where you collect your visitors&#8217; contact info and add them to your autoresponder, which in turn starts sending them the multi-part email series. Once your visitors have been subscribed to your email series, they are sent to your content pages. </p>
<p> You content mini-site builds the good will, so that when you send them to the product sales page, they are in a buying mood. And even if they don&#8217;t buy on the first visit, your email series sends them back to the product sales page again and again to increase your sales. </p>
<p> Putting all of these pieces together will increase your sales by 500% or more, so it&#8217;s obviously worth the time and energy to do it. After setting it up, you simply send visitors to your squeeze page instead of the sales page. And the rest runs on auto-pilot. </p>
<p> One option, if you&#8217;re not up to the challenge of setting this all up yourself, is to let someone like <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">Affiliate Silver Bullet</a> do it for you. Services like this design the enter system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). On the plus side, you&#8217;ll save a ton of time and money vs. trying to build this yourself. Plus you can get started instantly. One negative is that there will be other people using this same <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate marketing system</a>. However, the odds of you and them both finding the same visitor are so small, that it doesn&#8217;t really matter. </p>
<p> Alternatively, you can use a service like Elance to &#8220;outsource&#8221; each of these compnents. Whichever way you decided to go, it&#8217;s critical to get an <a href="http://affiliatesilverbullet.com">affiliate marketing system</a> like this in place, if you&#8217;re at all serious about your business. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people believe this day could actually be the end of the world. Others believe that it will be the end of our time and the beginning of a new and different time. And of course there are those who are skeptics and nonbelievers. Whatever your belief or concern about this day is it is advisable to at least educate yourself about the possible events that could occur.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>December 21, 2012 appears to be significant, as on our Gregarian calendar this is the day that ancient civilizations, the Mayans, Aztecs and the Incas, calendar ends. Throughout time there have been predictions of the end of the world, from the Hindus, indigenous Americans, the Hopi people, the Celts, Nostradamus and even the Bible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other significant events around the world believe that we may be headed for disaster. In the past 10 years events that have occurred around the world seem to be leading us toward a significant change. Some of these events, such as the building up of nuclear armaments by certain nations, the natural changes in our environment and climate such as global warming, devastating hurricanes and tornadoes, deadly earthquakes, the melting of our glaciers, polar shift changes, the battle over energy especially by industrial nations such as China and the United States, all seem to be leading us to a significantly different type of world than there has ever been.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will you be ready? Of course we hope that nothing significant will occur, especially nothing that is life-threatening. However it may be well to prepare yourself for these future events. It has been predicted that if a significant, devastating event occurs we may find that the things we normally take for granted, such as pure drinking water, going to the bathroom and breathing fresh air may be affected.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Will there be the beginning of a new world order? Can the United States of America survive a calamity? Will we see the collapse of our financial system?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most people choose to ignore what will happen in 2012, going about</p>
<p>their daily business as though life as we know it will never</p>
<p>change &#8212; when the truth is, life as we know it has never STOPPED changing.  Can everybody be wrong? Will the world just continue on? Will</p>
<p>December 21, 2012 be just another day of the Earth spinning on its axis</p>
<p>as it revolves around the sun?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You may do well to formulate some sort of survival plan for yourself and your family. This, of course, would include storing food and water and other items that you would need just to function on a daily basis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just think of the devastating earthquake that occurred this year in Haiti. It was not anticipated and the country was not prepared. Just think what would happen if a catastrophic event occurred that affected the whole world, such as a nuclear war.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The world has changed more rapidly in the past 200 years than in any previous time in history. The question is whether this is good or just necessary. Are we really making advances or are we headed toward a world of doom? We may have the answer in the next 2 1/2 years.</p>
