Australian-Shepherd-Lovers.com Newsletter #008
Hi <>,
Season's Greetings!
I hope you and yours are all healthy and happy as we approach the holidays.
It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the gloom and doom in the news; wars,
global warming and the financial crisis but luckily we Australian Shepherd Lovers
have a secret weapon. Our Aussies might not be able to fix all those problems
but they sure make dealing with them a lot easier. When we are stressed out
or in doubt they are there to calm us down and tell us "You are the greatest
and you are unconditionally loved, it's going to be alright". While it's
tradition to give gifts during the Christmas Season, our Aussies give us their
gifts all year long.
Please feel free to forward this newsletter to anyone you
feel would also benefit from this information.

Are You Worried About the Global Financial Crisis?
I wasn't sure if I should include this article. Some may not
like that it is not about Australian Shepherds, as such. But after having done
this website for a couple of years I have had the chance to get to know many
of you and you have shared your stories and I've seen your Aussies growing up
in the photos that you've sent me.
Considering that many of my friends who I have met through Australian-Shepherd-Lovers.com
may now (or may soon) be hurting because of the global financial crisis I wanted
to share what I have learned in the hopes that you will be able to create a
real online business and take control of your financial future...
The company that has helped me make Australian-Shepherd-Lovers.com and my other
website, OvercomeBullying.org a success has begun offering internet business
courses at Universities and Colleges. Because of my experience with their process
and tools I have been accepted as an instructor. I'm very excited to be able
to help others to also build a successful business using the internet.
From what I've been hearing it doesn't sound like the financial crisis is going
to be over anytime soon. We are seeing just the beginning of a downturn that
is going to be directly effecting all of us -- including our dogs. How
can our Aussies be affected by the financial crisis? When things get
tight and household budgets get slashed due to wage rollbacks, layoffs or "downsizing"
the family pet can be the first to feel the pinch.
For example, we might be tempted to cut activities like dog training, buy cheaper
commercial dog food and even get by without visiting the vet when we know we
really should. If things get bad enough having to find them a new home or the
rescue shelter might be the only choice. But if the money isn't there
what can you do? Getting another job might not be an option if just
keeping the one we already have is tough enough.
A hundred years ago you could set up a shop and offer products or services
and develop a thriving business. With a small amount of startup capital and
a willingness to work you could almost be guaranteed to succeed.
Then came the advent of the firm which evolved into what we now know as corporations.
No longer could you so easily start a business. You would be up against large
companies with deep pockets. You couldn't compete against their advertising
budgets, their distribution networks or their prices. Many found it easier to
"get a job" and earn a living by giving up their independence in exchange
for the security of a paycheck. But when times get tough it doesn't take long
for us to find out that it's a false sense of security.
One of the great things about the internet is that it has leveled the playing
field. People like you and me can set up a website and if we are willing to
work, can create a viable online business. Here's some good news... most websites
fail, even websites developed by big companies fail. They fail miserably because
they are doing it WRONG, WRONG and WRONG!
Why is that good news? Because this leaves a huge opening for those
of us who can figure out how to do it right!
When I started Australian-Shepherd-Lovers.com I didn't do it as a commercial
venture. I did it because I love Aussies. But it's no fun building a website
that nobody visits. I had built websites before -- the wrong way. So, what's
the right way? On the internet there are thousands of so-called "gurus"
offering to share their "super-secret-earn-a-million-dollars-overnight-system".
Yes, there are plenty of snake-oil salesmen on the internet just like in the
real world -- but I did my research. Whenever I found one of these "offers"
I would search for information about them to see what their customers where
saying. Most of them turned out to be scams, pure and simple.
But one name kept coming up again and again -- SBI!. Instead of their customers
complaining about how they had been ripped off, SBI's customers were actually
raving about their service. Some even said that SBI! had changed their lives.
It took me months of humming and hawwing, doing more research and evaluating
their services before I decided to click the "Order" button. Australian-Shepherd-Lovers.com
was born.
Would I be able to build a great site and share my passion for Aussies? Would
I be able to generate traffic to my new site? Would I be able to earn enough
for it to at least pay for itself? Yes, Yes and Yes (and then some!).
Australian-Shepherd-Lovers.com is now in the Top 1% of sites on the
web according to its Alexa Ranking! Alexa is a website rating service
provided by Amazon and Microsoft that tracks about 100 million active websites.
Ratings less than 1 million (lower is better) are tough to get to considering
how many websites there are but anything less than 1 million puts you in the
top 1%.
If you would like to see for yourself just go here
and enter Australian-Shepherd-Lovers.com to get my current ranking. Then compare
that to ANY other Aussie site. Try ASCA.org. Surely ASCA itself would have a
higher ranking! Nope.
I don't say that to brag (okay, maybe a little). I say it
to illustrate how successful a website, your website, can be if you do it RIGHT!
SBI! provided me with all the tools I needed to research, build, promote and
even earn income from my site. Others are earning solid part-time income, some
have even been able to quit their day jobs. There is no reason why you can't
do it too. Building a real, viable online business that allows you to work from
home is the kind of financial independence that we could all use -- especially
in an economy like this!
You don't need to know how to build websites or how to do HTML programming.
SBI! provides all the tools you need to build your website. You don't have to
have all kinds of technical skills. You just have to have the brains and motivation.
It will take work, but if you are willing to put in the effort you can do it
and take control of your financial future.
What are your hobbies? What do you love to do? What's your favorite
vacation spot? What are you passionate about? In the answers to these
questions you will find the seeds of an idea for what your website will be about.
Whatever it is there are thousands of people who can benefit from your knowledge.
You can create your own business about something you enjoy, something that you
would love to work on even if you had all the money in the world. What better
way to earn a living?
This article has become much longer than I intended but I can't stay
quiet about this. Too many people are suffering and there are very
real concerns about what the global financial crisis is going to bring to ordinary
people and families everywhere. If you would like to build a successful business
using the internet but have questions about whether or not this can work for
you I am happy to answer any questions I can. I know that SBI! works. It is
now even being taught in universities to MBAs who want to learn how internet
marketing really works. Feel f'ree to contact
me anytime.
Okay, for those of you who are still reading I suggest you
watch this video tour of
SBI!. It will take about 30 minutes - but those could be the most important
30 minutes you spend on the internet. It will give you an overview of what SBI!
is all about.

For those of you who decide that this is something you would like to
pursue I would like to offer my personal support. Consider this opportunity
and do your research, but once you decide to get started, before you
order SBI! I ask that you use the link below. This is so that you are
recognized by SBI! as a personal referral from me. I want to make sure that
anyone who joins SBI! through me succeeds. I will provide you with a
f'ree email consultation (as I mentioned I am an SBI! Instructor).
I want to make sure you have every advantage and are able to benefit from my
experience. So before ordering come back here and order through this link: >>>
Order SBI! Here
If you've had the chance to look at SBI! and want to get started developing
your own successful online business your timing couldn't be better.
Starting Dec. 12/08 SBI! is allowing you to order your first site and also get
a second one for f'ree. But only until midnight
(EST) Dec. 25/08.
Why would you want to get 2 websites? Because SBI! sites work and do earn income
for their owners. Most SBI! site owners renew their subscriptions every year
and eventually start a second (and even a third and fourth) site. My wife Tanya
and I have just ordered and we now have 4 SBI! sites.
You are protected with a 100% money-back-guarantee and if you like you can
gift your second site to a freind or family member. What could be better than
a gift that not only keeps on giving - it keeps on EARNING! But when
you order please come back here and use this link: >>> Order
SBI! Here
Contact me
anytime if you have any questions about SBI!
Wishing You All the Great Success You Deserve!!!

Books and DVDs
You can find tons of books and DVDs about Aussies here,
but one I thought was really terrific is called Henry
the Dog with No Tail by Kate Feiffer.
Here's the review one reader submitted:
A Terrific "Tail Tale"
"Our eldest daughter received "Henry, the Dog with No Tail"
as a birthday gift, and it immediately leapt to the top of the stack of bedtime
favorites. Our children love Henry and his posse's fanciful antics and the endearingly
realistic illustrations. The book has sparked lots of conversation among our
kids about the side life our dog might be leading when she is out-and-about
with her own doggie friends. Most of all, our kids love that Henry's friends
want him to be happy and that, in the end, Henry learns to be happy just as
he is."
