And why is it important to YOU?
Thanks for dropping in!
Obviously you came in to my site here by seeing one of my internet advertisements, forum posts, business cards or some other method. The important thing is YOU ARE HERE!
Let me introduce myself by giving a little background about me and my family and let you know what I do.
Background: I was born in 1954 in Pine Bluff AR, a small town about 45 miles south of Little Rock if you are familiar with the area. I grew up there with my parents and sister. My sister and her family still reside there. My mom was a “stay at home” mom until my sister and I graduated from High School and then she went back to work to contribute to my parents retirement savings. My dad owned a furniture store on Pine Street and worked there from his discharge from the Navy after WWII until the early 1990s when he sold the business and retired. My parents have both passed away but not without leaving me with decades of great memories that will last a lifetime.
Great Sport
Sports: I played sports from the third grade on through High School, starting out with football then in Junior high got into Track and Basketball. I was far better in track on the short races (100yd, 220yd and 440yd dash) and associated relays and got some state-wide recognition for my efforts there. I still follow Redskins Football and the Arkansas Razorbacks in football.
My Alma Mater
College and Early Jobs: I graduated from High School (Go Zebras!) in 1972 and immediately went to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis MD. There I majored in Mathematics, played intramural sports and basically worked to keep my head above water until graduation in 1976 and entry into Admiral Rickover’s Nuclear Power Program with a target of getting into the U. S. Navy Submarine force. I got to my first submarine in 1977 and was on submarines and related duties until 1991 when I got assigned to the Washington DC area in an office which built submarine equipment. That set me up with skills for an orderly transition to civilian life. It also gave me the opportunity to meet, date and marry my wife. I retired in 2000 after 24 years of US Navy active duty and Christina and I settled down here in the DC area.
During the early days of my Navy career, I got hold of a book by a man named Joe Karbo, The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches. It was a short paperback about how to make a mint in mail order and was a good read. You can get a great updated version here: The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches: How to Have Everything in the World You Really Want!
Although I never did anything with the mail order ideas in the book, Mr. Karbo had an interesting side note about keeping a positive attitude, controlling your thoughts, keeping anger under wraps and things like that. He taught me a method of controlling my thoughts and feelings “on purpose” so I did not have to experience the bad thoughts if I did not want to. It works to this day! I read that book a hundred times if I read it once because I thought, “If I can get control of my mind, there is no limit to what I can do!”
… and I was right.
Piles of Money
Search for Financial Independence: Joe Karbo’s, The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches, put the seed in my brain about the benefits from establishing your own business and working from home. I’ll never forget that book. It ranks right up there with Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I bought tons of books, information papers, work-at-home guides and more but really could not figure out what to do.
When you have a few days, I’ll tell you how many business models I tried and failed in. I also had some huge successes! Suffice to say, I learned a LOT by failing and succeeding which I have now put together in the Fred’s Power Business System. Check it out. It should solve all of your marketing and income problems with ease.
Conclusion: It is vital that you get substantial income streams going soon so you don’t become a victim of the business world. Visit the Fred’s Power Business System NOW.

Nice job on your blog Fred! Going now to read from your first one. I need to write a blog post today but am completely stuck! Doug
A very interesting trend, friend! A lesson in life.
Congratulations for stumbling, because ye could take advantage of them for their victories.
A big hug from Brazil
Thanks for the invite. Skeptical at first, I checked out your first blog… (you know, info overload, etc.) But after reading what you had to say and the content, I really feel you know what you are talking about. I opted in for “Seven points” and look forward to hearing more from you.
Hello Fred. Small world… my father grew up in BlackRock, AR and then moved to Jonesboro during high school. Your story sounds a lot like mine. I started my home business just days after Hurricane Katrina (I’m in central Alabama but we still got a lot of power outages and flooding). Looking back, it’s hard to believe it’s been over 5 years. I guess time goes by quickly when you’re having fun!
Enjoyed your bio, and look forward to your posts.
Dear Fred,
I’m impressed by your bio and how you came to understand and make a living at Internet Marketing. I’m a niche marketer – finally figured that out, make decent income with it – hard work, but well worth it. I have a question that I don’t know whom to ask, so you have the “honor”: I understand that Google doesn’t allow viral ads (such as traffic exchanges) to be used to bring readers to articles that have AdSense in them. So, what about sites like IBS, and these terrific-sounding “Ads For Life” sites? Can they be used with links to articles and blogs having AdSense in them? I’d greatly appreciate knowing for sure, and I’m making this a “comment” because there may be other folks who’d like to know, also.
Many thanks,
Marissa
Hi Marissa,
Blogs (like this one or IBS) are classic places that Adsense ads are OK. I think what you are talking about is having Adsense embedded in the article’s HTML code and I don’t think that is OK.
Hope this helps. Any other Adsense experts out there that can comment?
Fred
Fred -
Many thanks for the prompt reply, Very glad to hear from an expert that one can mention articles and blogs that have AdSense ads, in one’s IBS blog! That’s good news! All the best!
Marissa
Hi Fred
Thanks for all your insights. I’m not new at marketing but I always like to hear someones background and ideas. You gave us all some vital information. Thanks again and all the best

Hi Fred
Thanks for reading my article on my IBS blog “Christian Patriots” and leaving your comment. I appreciate it.
I enjoyed reading your blog. You appear to be a well informed and well intentioned online businessman. At the present I am devoting my time to promoting my IBS blog
I’m not making any money but I really enjoy blogging and it seems that many like my product. I believe that if we are not helping people in a significant way we are not really helping ourselves.
Great info, more needs to be said to help newbies like myself. Thanks for all your help!
Hi Fred,
Thanks for the comment. I have only been doing this for about two years. Started doing freebie trading. Made small money. Then decided better to do affiliate marketing. Am still getting on gthje horse, but enjoying it.
We have similar background. I went to USMMA, Kings Point and also went into Navy. Two years Active and 30 as a Reservist. I also went EDO as I enjoyed the shipbuilding side. Worked for EB in Groton, then stationary power plants. Am now retired but doing this for some income supplement and also can not play golf every day.
You have a good attitude and I will stay in touch..
Hi Fred,
When you say “A turn-key, off-the-shelf, complete package that even my grandmother could implement” you are presumably talking about a kind of complete-website-in-the-box product. I have dabbled in a couple of them (free and paid) and have not achieved much – and I don’t think it was for lack of trying or following recommended procedure. I wish someone would indeed bring out the perfect product-in-a-box!
Hoooo Ra from Hong Kong!!! Fred, LOVED the course and your new blog kicks butt buddy! You’re getting dangerous and I’m proud to call you an IM friend… When you coming out for Sushi 寿司, 鮨?

Dear Fred,
I’m impressed by your bio and how you came to understand and make a living at Internet Marketing. I’m a new comer in niche marketer – and still looking for mentor and a friends that would be happy if we ask for help.
Thank

Wow great stuff. You are a great mentor. I love to mentor my team on how to build huge downlines in the thousands also. It is a lot easier then people think. Keep up the great work.
I see you came up for air in that sub (3 kids) just kidding Fred!
Love your blog. It has you in there. Help for marketers to. I wish I could find a automatic system to put all my biz in, buy some emails, have them send it to my people, add my own people too. Most of those that say “build your list”, you are building their list, you never see the emails of your list.
Hey Mary,
You hit the nail on the head. NEVER build someone else’s list. ALWAYS build your own. That’s the main point of my “Make Money Mini Course” and all else that I teach. If you are not building YOUR list, you are not building your business. Plain and simple.
Fred
Hi Fred,
Always great stuff here. Keep it up and you will be among the top “gurus” soon!

I am very thankful to God that He is really Good God and always cares us. My name is Aamir Javed, I am from Pakistan and Christian boy of 24 years old and working with children i am runing sunday school at home and my sister is helping me in this great and awesome work.
I praise Him, He is using me for this precious work and I have great chance to serve Him by serving others. We both my sister and me doing work since 2 years we are runing this sunday school self support and God’s help during prayers. Here we have many children who are wondering in street, they are willing and loving to learn about Jesus Christ, this study is free of cost for them and I am very blessed to teach them about Him and they accept Him as their personal Savior.
We need your prayers and personal support for our sunday school children. I believe that He will guide you His wisdom. I will be in waiting to hear from you soon
God bless you
Nice information presented in the post, thanks for sharing such a great post.
Thanks I finally came to a website where the webmaster knows what they’re talking about. Do you know how many results are in Google when I search.. too many! It’s so irritating having to go through page after page after page, wasting my day away with thousands of owners just copying eachother’s articles… bah. Anyway, thanks for the information anyway, much obliged.
I’d have to be of the same mind with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

I have found WordPress blogs far superior to blogspot for many reasons.
If you read more of my posts, I show you how to get your own domain, hosting account, etc to do this.
Hope this helps!
Fred
Whoa this blog is magnificent. I love reading your posts. Keep up the great work! You know, many people are hunting around for this information; you can aid them greatly.
Good post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to learn content material from different writers and follow a bit something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a link on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
This page appears to get a large ammount of visitors. How do you advertise it? It gives a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something useful or substantial to give info on is the most important thing.

Great page, I like how the website looks! The style is great!
I’ve been here a few times and it seems like your articles get much more informative every time. Maintain it up I appreciate reading them.

This site seems to recieve a great deal of visitors. How do you promote it? It offers a nice unique twist on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to say is the most important thing.
Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, you’re going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what we’ve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you can’t really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, that’s just my opinion.
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you have done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Opera. Outstanding Blog!
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
My husband and i ended up being quite lucky that Albert could round up his homework through the entire precious recommendations he was given out of your weblog. It is now and again perplexing to just find yourself giving out key points which often many people may have been making money from. Therefore we understand we now have the website owner to thank for that. These illustrations you made, the simple blog navigation, the relationships your site make it possible to create – it is mostly great, and it is letting our son in addition to us believe that that content is pleasurable, and that’s highly indispensable. Thanks for all!
At times men and women are layered prefer this. There’s some thing totally different underneath it than what’s on top. Yet at times, there’s one third, even deeper level, knowning that one is the same as the top surface one.
At the moment I stumbled upon the web for exactly these kinds of info. Appreciate to your article that search should ending right this moment. You published the article within a understandable way. With that, I included your web sites among my favorites! Kind regards!
Glad you achieved your financial freedom. Everybody needs it. Lets step out of our comfort zone and do something about it..
It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this superb blog! I guess for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will talk about this blog with my Facebook group. Chat soon!
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week
Absolutely brilliant post guys, been following you.
Hi there I am so grateful I found your webpage, I really found you by mistake, while I was researching on Digg for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a remarkable post and a all round thrilling blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the moment but I have book-marked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the awesome job.
