Arsene Wenger astonished by Sutton's fight after FA Cup win
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger left Sutton United with a deeper respect for non-league football after watching his Premier League charges being pushed hard by their far less illustrious opponents in the FA Cup fifth round.Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners at Sutton's tiny Gander Green Lane ground on Monday, but Wenger was full of admiration for Sutton's spirited display."I didn't really enjoy tonight because we absolutely had to do the job and it is tricky," Wenger told the media after goals from Lucas Perez and Theo Walcott ended Sutton's dream Cup run."If we had come here in a relaxed mood we would have gone out tonight because they produced quality." (Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says future will be decided "in March or April")Sutton are 17th in the National League, 105 places below Arsenal in the English football pyramid, and while Wenger enjoyed the romance of the tiny club punching so far above their weight, he said he would never be able to manage at their level."It is basically division five, and they are 17th out of 24," the Frenchman added. "I will never go down there to manage because it is too difficult."I come from a club that is smaller than that so it reminds me of my childhood. The changing rooms for me were fantastic — the closer you are, the more united you are when you go out there. (Title is Chelsea's to lose, says Arsene Wenger)"They were organised and had a huge desire. If we were not mentally prepared we would not have gone through today."advertisementArsenal have been drawn against non-league Lincoln City in the quarter-finals, a team that became the first minor league side to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals in 103 years when the beat the Premier League's Burnley in the last round.

Advantage Spurs as Kane on the spot to down Chelsea
Harry Kane kept his cool from the penalty spot to give Tottenham a 1-0 win in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against rivals Chelsea.Spurs surged to a thrilling 3-1 win in the most recent Premier League meeting between the sides but Wembley played host to a more cagey contest on this occasion.Kepa Arrizabalaga's ill-advised challenge on Kane allowed Tottenham to claim their slender advantage ahead of the return clash, as the England captain converted from 12 yards with typical aplomb.

N'Golo Kante hit the post for Chelsea, who controlled large spells of the second-half only to gain little change out of a miserly Spurs backline.Callum Hudson-Odoi brought a vibrancy to the Chelsea attack and forced Paulo Gazzaniga into a routine save before life became more complicated for the Spurs goalkeeper's opposite number.Kepa hared off his line as Kane chased Toby Alderweireld's raking ball and, once a VAR referral confirmed the England captain was onside, a penalty and booking were inevitable.Chelsea's number one guessed correctly but could not redeem himself as Kane's spot-kick beat him for pace.160 – Harry Kane is now the outright fourth highest goalscorer for Tottenham Hotspur. Climbing. pic.twitter.com/Ri9nAnporn— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) January 8, 2019The post twice came to Tottenham's aid late in the first half, with Kante side-footing Marcos Alonso's cross against Gazzaniga's right-hand upright before Hudson-Odoi's deflected cross also bounced to safety.Kane was unable to get the better of Kepa from further afield in the 52nd-minute – the Spain international making a superb stop from his 25-yard piledriver.Kante tested Gazzaniga from similar range before Blues defender Andreas Christensen missed a glorious chance when Ross Barkley flicked on Eden Hazard's corner.Tottenham's back-up goalkeeper dangerously fumbled an 86th-minute cross from Hazard, while a crunching stoppage-time challenge from Danny Rose left the full-back with an apparent hamstring injury as Mauricio Pochettino's men held out. What does it mean? Advantage Spurs but all to play forDespite Pochettino's talk of prioritising the Premier League and the Champions League, this competition and the prospect of a major honour clearly matters a great deal to him and his players. That much was clear from the team-sheet, with Kane able to score a first goal in this competition since 2014. The weight of the occasion also weighed on a Spurs team who showed none of the freewheeling destructiveness that saw them take Chelsea apart two months ago. It was a stifled affair, particularly after half-time, but Tottenham got the job (half) done.Hudson-Odoi shines as Bayern rumours swirlWidespread reports of being the subject of a £35million bid from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich might be expected to weigh heavily on an 18-year-old winger. But Hudson-Odoi romped around Wembley without a care in the world, his direct play bringing pace and purpose at odds with a sometimes dreary contest. He looks made for this stage.Jorginho comes up short against Tottenham againThe sight of Jorginho flailing in pursuit of Son Heung-min was a defining image of Chelsea's defeat in the league encounter on this ground. Although there were no causes for viral embarrassment this time around, Chelsea's deep-lying playmaker was unable to exert his usual control on the contest, even when the visitors were in the ascendancy after half-time.Key Opta Facts- Tottenham have won three successive games against Chelsea in all competitions for the first time since a run of five between March 1961 and September 1963.- Chelsea have lost on each of their last three trips to Wembley, this after losing just three of their previous 11 visits to the stadium (W7 D1 L3).- Spurs have kept three consecutive clean sheets in all competitions for the first time since October 2017.- Kane has scored in each of his last six games in all competitions for Tottenham, equalling his best ever streak for the club (6 games between Oct-Nov 2015). – Pochettino took charge of his 250th match for Tottenham in this game – his record stands at 143 wins, 53 draws and 54 defeats.- Eden Hazard was fouled on seven occasions; the most fouls he has won in a single game this season – winning seven of Chelsea's 10 free-kicks. What's next?Tottenham and Pochettino face up to another Wembley blockbuster when they host Manchester United on Sunday, while Chelsea welcome Newcastle United to Stamford Bridge a day earlier. read more

Socialist Maduro seeks to raise dollars with appeal to greed
CARACAS, Venezuela — When Jose Humberto Vivas needs to trade dollars for Venezuelan bolivars, he usually flouts the nation's rigid exchange controls by turning to illegal currency traders.But last week, Vivas put a few hundred dollars in his wallet and headed to an exchange house regulated by Venezuela's socialist government, lured by the seemingly improbable prospect of an official rate that is more inviting than the black market rate."I haven't been here in years," Vivas said as he stood in line outside Italcambio, a normally lifeless exchange house in downtown Caracas protected by tinted windows and an armed security guard who inspects customers' IDs."There's a long wait here . and it takes days to get the money transferred to your account, but it might be worth it," said Vivas, who makes a living from selling dairy products.Little noticed amid the turmoil unleashed by the opposition's renewed push to oust President Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela's central bank devalued the country's currency on Jan. 28 by 50 per cent, eclipsing the parallel black market rate.The government now buys $1 for 3,303 bolivars, while the informal market buys them at 3,120 bolivars, according to the website DolarToday. It is the first time the official exchange rate has been higher than that of the black market since currency controls were put in place more than a decade ago, analysts said.The controls were implemented in 2003 by Hugo Chavez, the late president who initiated Venezuela's socialist system, and have frequently made the simple task of exchanging money into a stressful ordeal that involves searching for illegal currency dealers, logging into websites banned by the government, and sending wire transfers to foreign banks.But as Maduro's government runs out of hard currency amid an onslaught of international pressure and economic sanctions, it is tacking in a markedly capitalist direction, encouraging Venezuelans to sell their greenbacks to the local financial system.In a statement issued Jan. 29, the Central Bank described the devaluation as an economic stabilization measure aimed at controlling hyperinflation by undermining the black market.Analysts called it a desperate gambit to raise hard cash in a country now beset by severe U.S. oil sanctions that could cost the government up to $11 billion in revenue over the next 12 months. Without one of its most important sources of income, Venezuela will be hard-pressed to purchase food and other imports, potentially worsening shortages and deepening its economic collapse.Russ Dallen, CEO at Caracas Capital Markets, said dollars could now come into Venezuela's empty state coffers through state-regulated wire transfers from the estimated 3 million Venezuelan migrants who have fled the country's instability. Up until now, they have mostly used black market traders to an estimated $1 billion a year to loved ones, but could be enticed into the official system if the official exchange rate stays favourable."They are going for the diaspora dollars," Dallen said of Maduro's administration.The government is also attempting to gain more dollars from rich Venezuelans and a few straggling tourists who use their foreign credit cards at the official exchange rate, something that would have been unfeasible a few weeks ago.But the strategy is controversial.Maduro's opponents argue that selling dollars to the government is tantamount to funding repression. Others say the move will not eliminate the longstanding spread between the two rates, which has often allowed richer Venezuelans to take advantage of the distortion and pocket juicy profits.Asdrubal Oliveros, an economic consultant based in Caracas, predicts the amount of money the Venezuelan government can raise through currency markets will fall short of what it needs to remedy its financial woes. Strict requirements mandated by U.S. sanctions could also force some foreign banks to stop funding credit card transactions in Venezuela altogether, as Bank of America recently announced.The government and its state-owned entities currently owe around $150 billion to creditors around the world, while the country's foreign currency reserves have fallen to just $8 billion.Forced to meet interest payments on the few remaining loans and bonds the government hasn't yet defaulted on, the Maduro administration must finance its huge budget deficit by printing even more bolivars, further accelerating prices.Last year, inflation in the South American country hit 1 million per cent."Hyperinflation is a fiscal problem," Oliveros said. "If you don't control your expenditures and reduce deficits, you will not be able to tackle it."Meanwhile, other obstacles could limit the central bank's efforts to raise dollars.Currently, it takes four days — an eternity in today's Venezuela — for the bolivars purchased at state-regulated exchange houses to be deposited into a person's account. Cash exchanges have been impossible for months due to shortages of bolivar bills."Reliability, speed and convenience carry a lot of weight in currency exchanges," Oliveros said.Last week, dozens of people trying to sell small amounts of dollars and euros at the official rate were turned away from exchange houses after trading was suspended due to a glitch with the central bank's currency platform."It's so frustrating," said Adolfo Estanford, a lawyer who had hoped to get $20 worth of bolivars. He said he needed the money for food and transport."Everything here is so improvised," he said. "I feel like I've been made a fool of."___Manuel Rueda on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ruedareportManuel Rueda, The Associated Press

More than 200000 Sri Lankans now displaced by fighting – UN refugee
Even though humanitarian agencies still cannot reach all the locations where displaced people are residing, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) spokesperson Jennifer Pagonis told reporters in Geneva today that relief workers can now move into the town of Muttur, which has been at the centre of military operations in Trincomalee District. A joint UN mission to the area is gauging security and the immediate needs of local residents to ensure that the appropriate aid reaches them in the coming days. Ms. Pagonis said conditions in Kanthale, which hosts most of the individuals who fled the fighting in Muttur, have improved, with Colombo playing an active role in relief efforts. Local authorities have identified new sites where displaced communities can be housed in emergency shelters, freeing up the schools and other public buildings where they have been sheltered. Earlier this month, UNHCR estimated that more than 162,200 people had fled their homes but remained within Sri Lanka, while 6,672 had crossed the Palk Strait to become refugees in India's Tamil Nadu state. UNHCR now puts the number of Sri Lankan refugees that have arrived in India since the start of this year at 8,742. In the north, the recent relaxing of daytime curfews has given the residents of Jaffna town five hours to leave their homes and buy food and other essential items. However, many displaced persons trapped on the islands off Jaffna peninsula need help, and UNHCR is trying to gain access to these areas.
More sugar workers being made redundant says GAWU

However, that arrangement has since fallen through and the workers will soon join the thousands already retrenched."In fact, that sad process of informing the identified workers would begin sometime soon with their redundancy becoming effective not too long from now" said GAWU.The Workers Union in a statement on the further dismissals said that "The further expansion of the unemployed in the sugar belt is without a doubt making a really bad situation even worse. Given the absence of any plans to deal with the fallout from the miniaturization of the industry and the fiasco that has surrounded the workers severance payment, this furthering retrenchment is heart-rending to say the least."The government recently moved to the National Assembly and received approval for $1.93B – initially $1.75B – to pay some, not all, sugar workers the full sums of monies owed for their severance payments.The move by the Administration to obtain supplementary funding to pay sugar workers their severance payments in two tranches months after it was decided that the workers' last day of employment would be in December of 2017 was criticized by the political Opposition.GAWU in its statement today said that from all appearances, "the Government and the GuySuCo are ill-prepared and clearly incapable of dealing with the consequences that have flowed from these callous decisions they made…The Government needs to be constantly reminded, it would seem, of its responsibility to all its citizens, to safeguard their interests and to enhance their living standards along to the road to that promised 'Good Life'. The treatment of thousands of workers in the sugar industry is certainly contrary to such a universally accepted practice."The Workers Union also believes that it's still not too late to reverse the decisions and re-open the estates "especially given the situation that we are seeing playing out with the workers at this time. We call on the Government as President David Granger reportedly said recently, to "put people before profits". The GAWU believes that rather than displacing the workers, the NDIA could utilize the workers services and accordingly compensate GuySuCo."In what is described as the largest retrenchment by a private or public corporation in recent history, GuySuCo as part of its plans to restructure the sugar industry has dismissed in excess of 4000 sugar workers from Skeldon, Rose Hall, East Demerara and Wales Estates. Only three estates, Albion in East Berbice, Blairmont in West Berbice and Uitvlugt on the West Coast of Demerara are being kept in operation.

No High Drama Just Keeping the Law
Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsApp Bahamian music legend gunned down at home in Turks and Caicos Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsAppNassau, 3 Nov 2014 – This as The Bahamas is moving on its new legislation which requires all migrants to have a passport from their country of origin and proper legal status in The Bahamas or face being deported. "No high drama, just keeping the law explained Foreign Affairs and Immigration Minister Fred Mitchell yesterday upon arriving home in Nassau from an anti-piracy conference in Dubai. Minister Mitchell has confirmed that 300 illegal migrants were picked up and 77 detained since the activation of that new policy on Saturday November 1. Mitchell explained children are being handled in concert with Social Services department as he aimed to diffuse partisan and anti-Haitian arguments and factions on the matter. It's volatile and eyewitness video posted at my FB page shows children being quietly taken into custody. The Minister said this is not a Haitian targeted initiative and said it is not an event… that is the law, apart now of a regular routine in an effort to protect Bahamian borders. There are 496 illegal migrants at the detention center in Nassau, Bahamas. Haitians in the majority at 396 with 43 Cubans, 21 Jamaicans and 20 Dominicans.

CHURCHES HAVE A CHOICE TO REGISTER SAYS FSC COMPLIANCE Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsApp Facebook Twitter Google+LinkedInPinterestWhatsAppProvidenciales, 14 Jan 2015 – Information coming yesterday on how much the Churches will have to pay the government and the FSC in order to be compliant with a new law by February 20th; the Financial Services Commission of the TCI has been appointed in the Supervisor of Non Profit Organizations or NPOs. Paul Coleman, leader of the Compliance Unit in the FSC says he was not chairing that meeting but attending with Compliance Officer, Melissa Thomas as they aimed to bring even more clarity to the Providenciales Ministerial Fellowship on Monday. Magnetic Media reported that some churches reported to us that the cost to comply could run up to $1,500; in our report it is explained this would be all costs including lawyers' fees. In December it was Gazetted that the new law which requires all NPOs to be registered and to report on their financials every year takes effect in 90 days; the deadline is February 20, 2015. The FSC sent us a break down of the charges. First a church may have to make some changes in the organization's description, legally. If the church wants to do that, because apparently they can chose not to, the next course of action is for them to make a request to change with the Registrar of Companies. That alteration will cost $200. There is a one-time registration fee with the FSC as an NPO of $150; there are two annual fees; one paid to the FSC as the Supervisor of NPOs for $100, the other paid to the Registrar of Companies and that amount is $150 – both are for the same thing, to file the annual returns of the NPO. When we add it all up, that could mean an upfront $600 for the FSC and the TCI Government. When legal fees which could run upward of $700 are added to the mix – a church or any non-profit organization may pay in in this first year up to $1,500.

Publishers Continue to Look for Tablet Relief Outside of iPad
An unlikely competitor, Barnes & Noble is carving its own niche in the tablet space. The NOOK Color (the original NOOK was initially designed as an e-reader for books) has been updated in recent months to compete with tablets. The device now has internet capabilities, email access and over "100 top magazine titles" on its newsstand. Barnes & Noble is seeing a strong return on its digital investments, as the company's financial statements report digital sales were up 37 percent to $198 million in the first quarter.With Barnes & Noble's NOOK showing this kind of growth in digital downloads, as well as an Amazon tablet that is likely to debut this fall according to Rotman, the iPad may not have to be publishers' only path to download payoff in the near future. As cheaper tablet options arise, and consumers continue to transition their reading to the digital scape, publishers like Hearst may see that "20 to 30 percent" circ prediction come to light. Digital Sales: More Tablet Blues for Publishers Though magazines releasing digital editions have provided plenty of headline fodder over the past months, sales of those editions have been another story. More publishers (including Conde Nast, Time Inc., Hearst and now Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia) have submitted to Apple's subscription terms in order to access sales on the iPad, seemingly the only tablet game in town. But, as WWD reports, publishers are still hoping for a tablet option with "more media-bottom-line-friendly business models". Sarah Rotman, a Forrester senior analyst, tells WWD relief may be coming soon, "Amazon is expected to come out with something. Our data show there is demand among consumers for a tablet that's not the iPad. But so far, there are no good alternatives."But even if Amazon does release a tablet comparable to Apple's iPad, it doesn't necessarily mean publishers will get a break in rev share or user information sharing. In late 2010, Amazon changed its policies, as publishers kept 70 percent of revenue from Kindle sales. Previously, the retailer took as much as a 70 percent cut.Some publishers are tapping out of the Apple game, with Playboy and Financial Times releasing web-based apps for a similar in-app content experience found in the iTunes store. Due to lack of compliance with Apple rules, FT's main content app was pulled from the App Store this week; its advertising-sponsored apps (such as the Little Books of Business Travel) are still available for purchase through iTunes. Playboy's content was deemed too risqué for sale in the Apple store, so the publisher created an HTML app formatted for viewing on the iPad instead. Apple's sub rules are only a part of publishers' struggles to create a solid business out of digital edition sales, as digital subscriptions haven't been the big draw publishers initially hoped for. Conde Nast claims 242,000 digital downloads of its tablet editions since signing on with Apple in May; but as WWD cites, production of a digital edition can cost $20,000 to $40,000 per issue.Hearst president David Carey predicted earlier this year that tablet sales could represent 20 to 30 percent of magazine circ for the publisher. It seems as if this number isn't a reality quite yet, as Carey said earlier this week, "Well, I didn't give a timetable." Carey would only comment on tablet sales as "strong", as Hearst is set to officially reveal its digital download numbers this fall.The Economist is experiencing its own set of digital woes; the publication recently announced its highest North American sub number in its history, with 844,387 subscribers. Unfortunately, digital subscriptions are slower moving. Though the publisher says digital subs are four times higher than last year's number, only 5,245 have been purchased so far.Time Inc. is making sure its titles are available everywhere they can be downloaded, with digital magazines on the Barnes & Noble NOOK Color, the iPad and the Android platform. According to Steve Sachs, executive vice president of consumer marketing and sales with the publisher, "Hundreds of thousands of current print subscribers have upgraded their subscriptions to include the tablet editions for free. We're partnering with every major tablet manufacturer, and ultimately consumers are going to choose the winners here."Sachs cites 11 million downloads for digital editions and other Time Inc. apps to date.
Miller Rejects Unity Pledge At Republican Convention
For years, there's been conflict between the Alaska Republican Party's establishment wing and its more hard-line faction of Ron Paul supporters. Those tensions bubbled to the surface on Friday when the party's U.S. Senate candidates took the stage at the state convention. APRN's Alexandra Gutierrez reports from Juneau.Up until the very end, the Republican Senate candidate forum was a mostly a kumbaya-type affair. The candidates avoided personal attacks, and they stuck to their message of beating Democratic incumbent Mark Begich. Dan Sullivan, a former attorney general and natural resources commissioner, sprinkled the word "unite" throughout his speech. He hammered that point when the moderator asked if he would support the party's nominee even if he lost the primary."We need to unite," Sullivan told the audience. "What I've been trying to do for the last six months is unite all Republicans."Mead Treadwell, the sitting lieutenant governor, also promised to support the nominee, if Republican voters don't choose him."We as a party need to stick together," said Treadwell.But then the moderator got to Joe Miller. "I think that when we make such a commitment, it takes a baseline of trust. Both of my opponents who are sitting here today supported Lisa Murkowski in her war on the Republican nominee in 2010," said Miller. "Without that baseline of trust, I cannot make such a commitment."Miller won the party's Senate primary back in 2010, defeating Murkowski in an upset. While Murkowski had initially said she was going to support the party's choice, she ended up launching a write-in campaign and beating Miller in the general.Sullivan and Treadwell are seen as representing the party establishment in the current Senate race. Neither one publicly endorsed a Senate contender in 2010.After the forum, Miller reiterated that he did not feel comfortable promising to support Sullivan or Treadwell. "We're unwilling to unilaterally disarm and make a pledge when they supported who looked the Alaskan people in the eye and lied to them about what she was doing," Miller told reporters. "That really questions, in my mind, how trustworthy they are as well. So, we're unwilling to make sure a pledge."In April, Politico magazine published a piece by University of Alaska Anchorage Professor Forrest Nabors suggesting that Miller could run as an independent candidate should he lose the Republican primary. Miller responded with a piece on Thursday saying that he had no intention of running as anything but a Republican. The Alaska Senate race is one of the mostly closely watched races in the country. It is considered a toss-up, with polls showing voters split between the Democratic and Republican candidates.
John Cena in Olympic match at WrestleMania Huge hint dropped on possible
WWE is on the fast lane to WrestleMania and it is that time of the year when the company leaves no stone unturned in making sure they serve up a match card that is full of dream bouts. Thus, speculations are rife about the company's former golden boy John Cena and who his potential opponent could be, at the 'showcase of the immortals'.It was previously reported that Cena could be shaping up for a match against Roman Reigns in WWE's marquee pay-per-view. These rumours were floating around following Reigns' return to Monday Night Raw for the first time since putting his cancer into remission. But the 'Big Dog' is now set to face the 'Scottish Psychopath' Drew McIntyre at the 'show of shows'.There was also a brief tease that Cena might be squaring off against R-Truth after the latter called the Hollywood movie star his inspiration. But even that storyline looks unlike at the moment given Cena's potential in a particular storyline involving Kurt Angle. Will Cena be wrestling Kurt Angle at WrestleMania?JP Yim/Getty ImagesNow, the Olympic gold medallist has already announced that he will be wrestling his last match at WrestleMania before drawing the curtains on an illustrious career. But his choice of opponent was received with tremendous backlash on social media as most fans were not pleased with the choice of Baron Corbin as his final opponent.But WWE has thrown many a curveball at their fans before and its latest example was finding a way to include fan favourite Becky Lynch in the Royal Rumble which she subsequently to unanimous delight. With regards to Angle's hitherto scheduled match against Corbin, the commentators have dropped plenty of hints that an eleventh-hour replacement is not beyond the realms of possibility.If the change is to happen and it seems likely that it will, the 16-time World Champion will replace Corbin to set up a WrestleMania match that will lend an exclamation point to a story that started in 2002. Cena's debut match in WWE was against Kurt Angle and it will be fitting if Angle's swansong comes against the man who answered the Olympic gold medallist's open challenge with "Ruthless Aggression" all those years back. Kurt Angle was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017 by John Cena.There are various ways in which this could go down and one of them is Cena turning up in his mid-2000s 'Doctor of Thuganomics' look to take Corbin out before the match. Claiming to be the aggressive self he used to be back in the day, Cena can subsequently send Angle into retirement. It will definitely be a moment for the ages and WWE's way of finishing the circle of life for both wrestlers.The 2019 iteration of WrestleMania will be the show's 35th edition and it will be held on April 7 at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Lap Shuffle
The host has to come up with some questions - starting with simple ones.
For example: "Have you ever met a celebrity? "
If you answered Yes, you move one seat, clockwise.
If you answered No you stay put.
You could end up with 5 people on your lap.
First person back to their seat wins - or pick the person who has moved the furthest round the circle.

You can make really good commissions from the eBay partner but it depends on the products which you decide to promote.

One of the great reasons to sign up is that you can earn DOUBLE commissions in your first three months. They offer free to use link generators, ad creatives and widgets for you to promote different eBay items. eBay has over 162 Million active buyers which means there is a great potential to convert your traffic.
It's extremely WordPress-friendly. As you'll soon see, it's very easy to add Amazon affiliate links to WordPress. If you decide that you want more than just the occasional link to appear within your content and you want to build an entire affiliate store, there are WordPress affiliate themes and plugins built specifically for Amazon Associates members.
Armaan's approach is simplicity. He takes us through the Amazon Affiliate Program basics, then right into his strategies for content and backlinks. He could have stopped there - his methods are simple, down-to-earth, very common sense. But he added on seven tips on conversion that any reader, IM newbie or old hand, can use as valuable tools in their online business. Did I say this book is gold? Nix that..it is GREEN! Evergreen! Everybit as useful and up-to-date as the day he wrote it. Thank you Armaan. OH! I almost didn't mention the giveaway at the end!!
Learn then selling guidelines. Each marketplace has guidelines that define what you can and cannot sell. State and federal laws also impact what items are prohibited. In general, you cannot sell alcohol, weapons, service contracts, animals or event tickets. Also, while not always prohibited, you may find restrictions on how you can sell items in some categories, such as art, gift cards and coupons.[27] eBay, Craigslist and Amazon publish these guidelines on their websites.
Since the emergence of affiliate marketing, there has been little control over affiliate activity. Unscrupulous affiliates have used spam, false advertising, forced clicks (to get tracking cookies set on users' computers), adware, and other methods to drive traffic to their sponsors. Although many affiliate programs have terms of service that contain rules against spam, this marketing method has historically proven to attract abuse from spammers.
You can build greater trust with visitors. When affiliate links are used properly, you'll build even more trust with visitors. This means always directing them to Amazon products that are relevant to the topic at hand. Conversely, any attempts to deceive by pushing them to unrelated links or to untrustworthy products could hurt trust (and get you banned by Amazon), so be careful.
Pro tip for first-timers: Carefully consider the pay rates that are listed. Penny Hoarder Carson Kohler has used the platform to find freelance writing gigs, and she reports low rates — like $3 for 500 written words. It's probably not worth it. (And, yes, you'll have to scroll through a whole lot of these low-paying listings to find the good ones.)
26. Services – You can offer a paid service, such as life coaching, blog coaching, goal setting or financial planning. Just be sure to investigate all the legal implications and make sure you're not claiming to be a professional if you're not one. With a service like this, you're basically using your blog to sell yourself. You'll need to convince people that you're worth buying and then be able to back up your claims once they purchase your service.
Starting a podcast, like making a YouTube channel or blog, comes down to telling interesting stories and building an engaged audience. I'm probably sounding like a broken record by now, but you need a niche that you're interested in and there's already a demand for. Come up with a list of topics you'd like to talk about and then search iTunes charts, Google Trends and other podcast research sites like cast.market to see what's currently out there and popular.
Affiliate marketing is a very large industry and has become a key source of online income for many thousands of professional bloggers. With more and more online businesses becoming involved in affiliate marketing, more opportunities have arisen for bloggers, like you and I, to make money with their blog. and to ultimately create passive income streams.
Pithy and informative. This book examines the world of Amazon product promotion and how to earn commission with Amazon Affiliates. He goes into the process of content generation, promotion, and call to action. I especially liked his steps to increase sales section. Some of the ideas he presents are in areas that other marketers are not using, yet is not more work. The list of long tail keywords for the bonus section is really helpful to understand the process and importance. I tired the long tail keywords on my website and noticed a jump in traffic! BRAVO! Read this book and improve your performance!
I have a free WordPress website with 1000-2000 visitors/month. I was trying to place Amazon Affiliate ad links last night and failed/flailed mightily. I would paste the links into my posts in the HTML mode, switch to Visual mode, and could see the image. However, every time I tried to save or update the post, the image reverted to the gangly hyperlink. As some suggested, I tried cleaning the links of any formatting from the copy and paste with text edit. No dice.
SkimLinks is probably best for bloggers who want to write content around the affiliate link rather than add affiliate links to existing products. SkimLinks offers a lot of tools to compare commission rates and offers in order to customize your content to optimize your income. Once nice aspect of SkimLinks is that it offers lots of products for non-US creators, including popular UK brands like John Lewis and Tesco.
And to be honest, at that time my salary was so low I wouldn't have needed much to replace it. Plus, because I had spontaneously quit, I spread myself thin by trying everything rather than trying to zero in on one singular focus: only one store. I was too scared that Id make the wrong choice so I tried multiple ecommerce niches which quickly led to my epic failure.
The layout of my website was designed so it looked exactly like a standard ecommerce store. However, after adding multiple products to their cart and proceeding to checkout, customers were automatically sent to Amazon's checkout page. This helped boost my Amazon affiliate earnings because buying from Amazon fairly reputable but it also automatically sent Amazon affiliate traffic.
The concept of affiliate marketing on the Internet was conceived of, put into practice and patented by William J. Tobin, the founder of PC Flowers & Gifts. Launched on the Prodigy Network in 1989, PC Flowers & Gifts remained on the service until 1996. By 1993, PC Flowers & Gifts generated sales in excess of $6 million per year on the Prodigy service. In 1998, PC Flowers and Gifts developed the business model of paying a commission on sales to the Prodigy Network.[8][9]
Whether it's an important consumer application, a specialist app to solve a particular niche problem, or even a time-wasting game you can play on your phone, you can create a massively successful business if you build software that helps people. (Look at the rise of Slack—the team communication software that went from side project to billion-dollar company in just 2 years.)
Once you've gathered a list, put together a template outreach email (as you'll be doing this over and over) that's short and clear with expectations. Tell your potential interviewee who you are, what your podcast is about, and what you're asking of them. Do a few test interviews with friends and family to make sure everything is being recorded at the quality you want and then book your first episode.
StudioPress itself is somewhat of a niche product as it is targeted to existing WordPress users who found setting up and managing a WordPress site too difficult or time-consuming. StudioPress prides itself on being easy to use, but their main claim to fame is that their hosted websites are "faster and more secure" than other WordPress hosting companies as well as using the "Genesis framework" which is supposedly more SEO friendly than other WordPress builds.
Fiverr is one of the biggest providers in the gig economy on the web and you can sell a wide variety of services and products through this medium. Do the research and find out what you can offer. However, keep in mind that like any other money-making task, it takes time to succeed here. And stellar reviews will help you generate more and more income over time.
Can you make money with affiliate marketing? The short answer is yes, affiliate programs can earn extra money and even a full-time income from home. The long answer is a little more complicated. Like any home income venture, success comes not so much from what you choose to do to make money, but whether or not you do what needs to be done correctly and consistently.
How many email newsletters are you bombarded with every single day? There's a reason for that. Marketing to an actively interested group of email subscribers is one of the best ways to make money online. There have even been million-dollar businesses built from simple email newsletters like TheSkimm, or Mister Spoils. Each newsletter targets a specific type of user with interesting, daily content, while also partnering with relevant companies and affiliates to bring in extra money. If this seems daunting, it's not. Tools like MailChimp, ConvertKit and AWeber make it easier than ever to get started with email marketing. And another great option to consider (with the largest free plan available) is SendPulse, with their ability to send up to 15,000 emails per month to 2,500 subscribers, and then affordable plans starting at under $10/month as you grow from there.
High-ticket consulting or coaching: You could sell your own high-ticket consulting or coaching products from your website. You'll still need a website, merchant account, sales funnel, lead magnet and many other items. But you can easily earn a substantial amount of money from each individual customer, making it well worth the arduous setup required.
Shepper says users are fully insured, and it takes precautions to ensure your safety, including reviewing every booking that it receives. It may be worth taking extra steps too, such as telling a friend or family member where you'll be and arranging to contact them after you finish the job. Remember to trust your instincts – if you feel uncomfortable with any job, simply leave.
If you're thinking about working with an affiliate marketing network, the world's most popular marketplace can be a great place to start.

Consider selling in lots. A lot is a collection of similar items that is sold in a group. For example, if you have a collection of books, magazines or similar pieces of jewelry, consider selling them all at once in a lot. You many not make as much money as you would have if you sold each item separately. However, the items will likely sell more quickly in a lot than they would individually.[29]

In 1994, Tobin launched a beta version of PC Flowers & Gifts on the Internet in cooperation with IBM, who owned half of Prodigy.[10] By 1995 PC Flowers & Gifts had launched a commercial version of the website and had 2,600 affiliate marketing partners on the World Wide Web. Tobin applied for a patent on tracking and affiliate marketing on January 22, 1996, and was issued U.S. Patent number 6,141,666 on Oct 31, 2000. Tobin also received Japanese Patent number 4021941 on Oct 5, 2007, and U.S. Patent number 7,505,913 on Mar 17, 2009, for affiliate marketing and tracking.[11] In July 1998 PC Flowers and Gifts merged with Fingerhut and Federated Department Stores.[12]

Seoul is the most successful of the five cities. It has all five factors of success. First, the national development strategy was clear since the early 1960; thus, Seoul has been prioritized for the country's development. Second, Seoul has been allowed to keep a fair share of the budget revenue and expenditure. Its expenditure to the GDP is over 10 percent, about a half of the national one. Third, long-term strategies have been consistently promoted. Fourth, there have been many public entrepreneurs with powerful supporting coalitions and political terms are not necessarily a major constraint for achievements. Fifth, a centralized municipal government is positive for Seoul's development. However, the role of urban planning is limited.

"I've used 2-liter bottles for yarn, but I cut the bottoms off instead of around the neck. It takes a wee bit of effort to thread the loose yarn end through the neck of the bottle, but I ofn't have that split where the bottle straightens out. They stand up nicely in little paper gift bags, so I can change colors easily. This really only works with the pull-skeins that unwind from the center."
"Growing up, our meals were a combination of 'down home" southern cooking and "Tex-Mex" food. We ate beans a lot. Even organic pinto beans are cheap and one pound goes a long way once they're cooked. Cornbread and beans were a staple, along with wild greens and fried potatoes. Leftover beans can be made into refried beans for burritos or used for chili. Refried beans are made by dumping beans in a frying pan, adding onion and garlic, smashing them a little with a spoon and cooking until the dish is thick. Simple chili just takes a little ground beef (less than you would think - about a half pound to 3 or 4 cups of beans, some onion, garlic and chili powder."
