I learned to read before I was three years old.
This did not impress the kindergarten teacher at the Hood School, who broke the news to my parents that I might be “mildly retarded.”
She proceeded to list a series of things I couldn’t do. One of them was skipping. (What kind of boy skips in the first place?) I’ll never forget that night, when my extended family vainly skipped through the living room, as I cried in the corner.
Also, my drawings were terrible. He doesn’t draw hands on his people!
Um, their hands were behind their backs, genius.
I wound up flourishing when we moved to another town and I entered a different school. My mother later told the whole story in a blistering letter to the editor of the local newspaper in our old town.
I’ll admit, though: to this day I have zero artistic ability and no design sense to speak of. But like anyone doing anything online, I need designs for eBooks, box covers, Facebook ads, flyers, logos, and other things, too.
Outsourcing works, but it can be pricey, and you can wind up unsatisfied and with no recourse.
The whole situation is frustrating and expensive.
Or you can try to do it yourself, and wind up putting out product that makes you look like an idiot.

I like easy.
I don’t like physical inventory.
I don’t like shipping stuff through the mail.
I don’t like processing returns.
I don’t like things that take forever to do.
I’d rather spend all that time with my kids.
I like easy, and there’s no product easier to create or sell online …
… than a simple, straightforward instructional or how-to eBook.

In his eBook Writing E-Books for Fun & Profit, Bob Bly will show you how to make a go of creating and selling simple eBooks.
Who’s Bob Bly? Only “America’s best copywriter,” according to McGraw-Hill. (A copywriter writes advertising text, or “copy.”)
He’s also someone I gladly paid thousands and thousands of dollars to do a project for me.
Oh, and he’s written 85 eBooks.
I think he knows what he’s talking about.
Later this year, Writing E-Books for Fun & Profit will sell for $59. However, to make it affordable for you to get started in eBook publishing, he’s letting my subscribers have Writing E-Books for Fun & Profit for only $19 today — a juicy $40 savings.
Plus, grab his book through the link below and forward me your receipt, and I’ll send you two awesome bonuses:
(1) Our eBook and video mini-course on how to narrow down the niche for your blog or online business;
(2) My screencast video showing you how I monetize my own websites.
Oh, and if you hate Bob’s book he’ll refund your money and you can keep the book (and my bonuses) anyway.
Am I crazy to do this? Maybe…crazy with awesomeness.
These bonuses are vanishing at midnight, so get clicking:

“Follow your passion.”
OK, in the abstract I guess there’s nothing wrong with that.
But in lots of particular cases, it’s downright bad advice.
Like when you’re trying to choose what niche you want to focus on when trying to earn money online. Most people aren’t “passionate” about more than a few things, if even that many. So if you limit yourself to what you’re “passionate” about, you’re sharply limiting your opportunities.
As Internet marketer Paul Counts puts it, if you start raking in the dough in a particular niche, you’ll get passionate about it pretty fast.
Boom.
Still, finding the right niche is often the difference between runaway success and years of struggle.
To help you make the right decision, we’ve got an eBook and mini-course on finding your niche. I’m throwing it in as a free bonus for anyone who picks up Bob Bly’s invaluable book Writing E-Books for Fun & Profit through the link below.
I’m also throwing in a screencast video in which I show you the ways I monetize my sites.
Just copy and paste your receipt into my contact page and I’ll send them along.
Bob has written 85 eBooks. He’s the expert. If you hate his book, he’ll refund your $19 and even let you keep the book. You can keep my bonuses, too.
But I’m taking those bonuses down at midnight, so get passionate about grabbing Bob’s book:

How’s this for awesome?
The great Bob Bly, who wrote the sales copy for my Liberty Classroom website, took some old stuff collecting dust on his hard drive and made an eBook out of it — and generated six figures.
Lots of people don’t realize they have knowledge other people would pay for.
For instance, Bob realized he had a hard drive full of material that people like him — fellow email copywriters — might be interested in: model letters, client agreements, checklists, press releases, invoices, and so on.
So why not put them together as an eBook?
Putting those documents together took about two hours. Bob then gave the manuscript to a graphic artist to design a cover and the interior pages, and turn it into an eBook with the title The Copywriter’s Toolkit. That cost $200.
How’d it turn out?
He’s sold 2,317 copies, for a total of $117,663 in revenue.
Yup, that’s real.
In the past I’ve told you about Bob’s book on writing for Kindle. He’s also written a more general book about eBooks — basically, creating PDF books and selling them — called Writing E-Books for Fun & Profit.
Bob himself has written 85 eBooks. He knows what he’s talking about.
Grab his book through the link below and forward me your receipt, and I’ll send you two free bonuses:
(1) Our eBook and video mini-course on how to narrow down the niche for your blog or online business;
(2) My screencast video showing you how I monetize my own websites.
Oh, and if you hate Bob’s book he’ll refund your money and you can keep the book (and my bonuses) anyway.
So now it’s ridiculous not to do this:

Guess what: the old man has learned a thing or two after making a living almost entirely online for the past six years.
I know the good guys, the bad guys, and the outright shysters.
I know what you need to learn right away, and what can wait until later.
I know the resources you need.
Hence all my emails. (Hop on my list by clicking here.)
Sometimes they have tips from my own experience.
Sometimes I introduce you to reliable people and products that can get you from A to B.
Sometimes I throw out possible business or side-hustle ideas.
And I’m not shy about telling you, “This is something you should buy.”
I’m not a snowflake who tiptoes around selling something. I agree with Ben Settle: if I have or know of a product that can solve people’s problems, I have a duty to tell them about it.
I’d be doing you a disservice if all I did was email you “success quotes” and other waste-your-time crap.
If I start doing that, you have my permission to remove my limbs.
My recent kick has been creating websites for local businesses. It’s a great idea for virtually anyone, even teenagers.
Especially when you can use a website creation platform that does the hard work for you.
As people saw in our live workshop last week, the platform I found is incredible: easy, intuitive, and full of scores of website templates for all kinds of businesses.
Yes, you have to pay for it. But what they’re asking is a pittance, especially with the 60% discount they’re giving my readers.
But tomorrow night at midnight the replay comes down and the regular prices, without the 60% discount, will be restored.
Do not weep about what might have been.
No more living in fear of the pink slip.
No more envy of people with multiple income streams, or who work from the beach.
Let other people envy you for a change.
But it’s slipping away:
