In this guide I will show you:

This guide will assume that you already have at least one betting account open.

Step 1 – Getting The Free Bets

This step is very simple. To get your free bets you will normally have to stake a certain amount of money. We will work on the premise that you will get rewarded with a free £25 bet for staking £25 on a single event.

First find an event with only 2 outcomes; I like to use baseball for my bets.

Simply stake £25 on the favorite for the game to qualify for your free bet. Then stake the relevant amount with your current bookmaker, for the opponent to win, to cover the £25.

Example:

LA Dodgers to win at 1.68 with the bookmaker offering the free bet.
Franciscoisco Giants to win at 2.4 with your current bookmaker.

Bet £25 on LA
Bet 25/1.4 = £17.86 on SF

Possible outcomes:

LA win:

profit from LA bet = 25 * 0.68 = £17
loss from SF bet = £17.86
total loss to get free bet = £0.86

SF win:

profit from SF bet = 17.86 * 1.4 = £25
loss from La bet = £25
total loss to get free bet = £0.00

Betting the £25 on the favorite allows you to bet the least amount in total to receive your free bet.

If you have been looking around the internet for a while in search of ways of making money you cannot fail to have seen the words “join our free affiliate program” or “best free internet affiliate program” – probably followed by something about making thousands of dollars a month!

If you are like me you were a mixture of skeptical, intrigued, excited and also thinking “could this work for me?” Well to cut a long story short I was looking to work from home at the tail end of 2004 due to ill health and was surfing the net to find a work from home business. I kept seeing these adverts for free to join affiliate programs but had never heard of them in my life. To say I was a newbie was a massive understatement!

I decided to find as much as I could about them and everything I needed was online. I soon discovered Google Adwords and pay per click as a way of promoting my programs and also found Clickbank.com, Commission Junction.com (cj.com) and Tradedoubler.co.uk as “libraries” of thousands of products to promote.

I then tried to learn all I could about how to promote an internet affiliate program on Google Adwords and also how to research the market place. I cannot stress how important this point is! It is vital to find a market BEFORE you find your product. I tried to promote many things I thought were great products before I realized it was not what I thought would sell that mattered! It is what people are looking for that is important.

You may have heard the term “Niche Market” and this is what you are searching for – a niche that may not have a huge number of potential buyers – but that has a large enough group of people who are very HUNGRY to buy your products. It is your job as an affiliate to target these people as accurately as possible.

There are many different e Books out there that will help you learn how to do this. Using the Overture search tool is an excellent way of finding popular searches and Niche Markets.

You can also promote free affiliate programs through your own sites and this is the way to really generate those huge incomes you read about – but it can be a huge learning curve! Don’t worry however as there are lots of good programs out there that will teach you step by step how to do this. The best I have come across is the Profit Brat Affiliate Program Marketing System (see below)

As I said before I started as an affiliate just less than a year ago and now make my living full time – it can be done – but…..

You must put in the time, effort and, yes, money to prepare yourself. And you must research, research and research some more the market place! This is not money for nothing but it is definitely a business you can succeed in if you do your homework and are prepared to learn from those who have succeeded before you.

Best wishes for your financial future!

A wonderful way to invest in your families’ treasure trove of memories is by spending time in the great outdoors. Camping trips can be an excellent tradition that your family will look forward to and in time, look back upon with fond memories.

Whether you plan to camp at the same place every year or seek out new places doesn’t matter as camping is always filled with new adventures. Your family might have a favorite place you go to every year mixed with a new spot you select together for another weekend or extended holiday during the year. There are so many national parks to explore; your options really are quite limitless.

Camping doesn’t have to be an overly expensive expenditure. Again this all depends on how you’ll be camping. Camping in a tent carries a completely different dynamic than camping in a fully equipped camper. Camping in a tent is also relatively inexpensive. Perhaps the camper is something you’ll decide to invest in after a few years of tent camping, then again there are some who prefer to only go tent camping. There’s something to be said about the rustic quality of sleeping in a tent, you can hike to far off remote spots where you couldn’t get to with a camper in tow.

Regardless of how you’ll be camping you’ll want to have the proper camping gear and accessories. First off you want to have the best tent and sleeping bags you can possibly afford. As your tent will be your home away from home for your trip and your sleeping bag will keep you warm and covered for those long nights under the stars (there are tents available that have mesh roofs for star gazing, of coarse if it starts to rain, you can just cover it up with your tent fly), you’ll want to be sure that both these items keep you appropriately covered so to speak.

Next you’ll want to have proper camp accessories; a trustworthy camp stove, a lantern, flashlights, a first aid kit, tarp, cooking and eating utensils, a little axe (for chopping firewood, also doubles as a hammer for hammering in tent pegs), some rope (for clothes lines and securing tarp), and cooler. Along with your sleeping bag you’ll want to remember comfy pillows (unless your backpacking then you might want a convenient inflatable pillow) and very importantly a good sleep pad. An uncomfortable sleep experience on hard ground may steer you off tent camping altogether, so come prepared, a good sleeping pad is worth its weight in gold. A good idea to help you remember all these items is the camping check list.

It’s a good idea to store your camp gear in some plastic containers. This way it’s all in one place (with your camp list included), so when it’s time to pack up and go camping you can go through the containers making any necessary additions needed. It’s very important to check that all your equipment is properly maintained and cared for; there is nothing worse than getting to your destination and finding that your camp stove is not working. You’ll also want to be sure that your camp fuel supply is replenished and you have extra batteries (for flashlights, lanterns or radios).

One of the best things about the whole camping experience is the food. Now depending on where you’re camping and what time of year it is, if you’re lucky you’ll be able to do some of your cooking around the campfire. During dry seasons there may be fire restrictions due to forest fire concerns, if that’s the case you’ll do all your cooking atop your camping stove. Every meal always seems to taste a bit better when you’re camping, it might have something to do with all the fresh air, or maybe all the fun activity builds up you’re appetite, either way you’ll want to bring along some family favorites. For dinner maybe some grilling of the families select choices, accompanied by some corn on the cob and potatoes wrapped in tin foil cooked on the coals with a nice salad and later for dessert smores (marshmallow and a slice of chocolate sandwiched between two graham wafers), add to that some hot chocolate before bed and that’s a night of food to dream about.

The activities (or lack of activities) will also make your camping trip one to remember. Hiking, kayaking, cycling and sailing might be on your agenda. Most parks offer excellent groomed hiking trails. Research in advance the area you will be visiting to know what activities will be available, you may be able to rent a kayak and take a lesson at the same time. Many areas also offer great bike trails that the family can cycle on together. A late night walk is among favorite suggestions; you can check out the stars and just listen to the silence.

Bring along a book you’ve wanted to read or some magazines. Games are another excellent pastime, a deck of cards or a board game might be some fun. Of course you can always bring along some baseball gloves and a ball for a game of catch. Soccer balls, badminton rackets and a net or volleyball and net all make for a fun day at the park.

If your family has little one’s you’ll be presented with a whole new challenge. Depending on the ages of your babies or toddlers you’ll want to pack some extra conveniences. There are excellent baby back carriers available allowing you to hike all sorts of terrain with baby in tow while keeping your back feeling comfortable, as well there are a numerous variety of baby strollers to select from which are great for using on trails. For toddlers you may want to bring a playpen to keep baby safe. You can never bring too many toys; the more your child has to keep them entertained you can rest assure they will be more content.

Be prepared for weather changes by bringing along extra clothing. Most likely you will be camping in the warmer spring, summer and fall months. It’s wise to remember however that the evenings can often get quite cool. Bring along heavy sweaters or extra jackets for added warmth, it can never hurt to bring along a couple of extra blankets for comfort beside the fire (or for use at a day picnic). Rainwear is another excellent addition to your camping wardrobe. With good quality rain jackets, hats, rain pants and boots you can take advantage of the rainy weather and actually go out for a hike rather than staying inside the tent or worse yet ending your camp trip all together.

Camping certainly has its challenges. Knowing what to bring and having the proper equipment and accessories is the first hurtle. Once you arrive at your destination and set up you want to keep everyone as comfortable and happy as possible, whether it’s keeping the kids occupied without the use of video games or cooking a surefire dinner. Rest assured that after your first couple of trips when you find out what everyone enjoys doing and you realize all you like to include on your trip, you will certainly add camping to your families list of favorite excursions and traditions. The wonderful thing about camping is its always different, perhaps the site is different or the campground you selected is unique to the last you stayed at, whatever the difference is it always seems to be an adventure that the whole family can enjoy.

You don’t have to give up eating chocolate just because you want to eat healthily. But you do need to choose the right chocolate this Easter, the type that brings positive health benefits and isn’t laden with disastrously unhealthy added fats and sugars.

When you’re choosing chocolate Easter eggs this year, remember these facts:

• Healthy chocolate What does chocolate contain, that’s good for you? The cocoa bean, from which chocolate is made, contains antioxidants, as well as the minerals copper, magnesium and iron, and vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E. Research into chocolate shows that it can improve boost immunity, lower blood pressure and may even help to protect against cancer properties. Dark chocolate can lower cholesterol levels. And the chemical serotonin found in chocolate is a great natural anti-depressant.

• Choosing good chocolate Sad to say, a lot of mass-produced chocolate bars do not give you all these health benefits. Why? Because they contain very little cocoa solids, and way too much sugar, fats and other additives. Also, manufacturing processes have probably robbed them of what little nutritional value they had. To get the health benefits of chocolate, choose dark varieties, containing 65 per cent or more cocoa solids. These types of chocolate taste rich, with a complex flavour – and provide you with all the health benefits of the cocoa bean.

• Recognising good chocolate Look for a glossy surface, and dark colour with reddish-black undertones. The chocolate should break crisply when you snap it. Look for brands with no or low added sugar and a cocoa-solid content of 60% or more. Try to find trade brands, and also look out for organic chocolate such as Green & Blacks.

• How much chocolate to eat Top quality chocolate should be savoured, so don’t wolf those eggs down at a sitting. Make them last over 3-4 days. At other times of year, one or two squares of good chocolate, eaten twice or three times a week, can be part of a healthy diet, as long as you’re also getting plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

This year, at Easter, remember these chocolate facts, and buy an egg that tastes great and does your health a good turn.

Saltwater aquariums are for fish that can only live in salt water obviously. Some of the fish are grouped for example triggers and groupers. Each play their part in the salt water aquarium set up. You can also keep corals and anemones as well as saltwater fish, but avoid things like crabs and shrimps and snails as they will try to eat the anemones.

Fish are a beautiful addition to this kind of tank, the lights accentuate the beauty of the fish and the tank looks like the deep blue sea, try to add a solid blue background at the back of the tank and the light will make the tank look fantastic and like something that you will only see in movies. There are lots if different fish that are available to be put in the tanks such as: Lion Fish, Puffer Fish, Eels, Panther Groupers, Shrimps, Crabs and dog puffers. Each of these fish is stunning and under the light of tank against the deep blue background will keep you in awe!

Another variant that you can keep in a saltwater aquarium is a coral or an anemone. Some people only have these types of living things in their saltwater tank but they can be put in with some fish, most other fish will try to eat them especially the anemones. These types of plants are living, the anemones need to be hand fed, you should just place the food on top of it and it will then curl itself around the food and open up its mouth and feed itself, its is a miraculous thing to watch.

Saltwater aquariums are like watching the ocean, the colours bounce of the fish and hey all get on so well, but it is like any other type of fish species; if it is smaller it will get eaten by something bigger. You also have to watch out because some of the fish are poisonous, for example the lion fish; its tentacles if touched will sting your hand and you need to seek medical help straight away! Saltwater aquariums are only for the professional fish keeper though, as it takes a lot of work to get the conditions for the fish correct, the saltwater needs to be at a safe level as does the temperature and the PH. This is a hard work task but the rewards are well worth the effort.

If you have ever enjoyed taking a sauna bath at your local health club, gym or spa and would like a home sauna for your own private use, you should consider the many merits of a pre-cut sauna kit. Pre-cut sauna kits are perfect for people who appreciate the pleasures and benefits of sauna bathing but don’t want to go to the trouble or expense of having a sauna professionally constructed and installed for them.

Even if you only have a few tools and don’t think of yourself as a particularly gifted carpenter or handyman, you should have little if any difficulty building your own indoor or outdoor sauna using a pre-cut sauna kit. And, if you know of another sauna bath enthusiast who would be willing to assist you with the project, assembling your do-it-yourself or DIY sauna kit, as a pre-cut sauna kit is sometimes called, should be that much easier.

The first step in purchasing a pre-cut sauna kit is to decide whether you want an indoor sauna or an outdoor sauna. Depending on the space they have available on their property, some folks buy sauna kits to enhance their backyards. A backyard sauna can serve equally well as a private sanctuary and a gathering place for family members, friends or neighbors. No matter where it’s located, how a home sauna is utilized is ultimately up to its owner, but there’s never just one way and one way only to enjoy a sauna.

Many indoor sauna kits have been assembled in basements, bathrooms, bedrooms and spare rooms. When space permits, indoor saunas can truly energize or revitalize the home life of an individual or family. More time in the sauna can mean less time sitting mindlessly in front of the computer or television or engaging in other unproductive behaviors. Using an indoor sauna is a great method of caring for your own health and well-being while relaxing in the familiar surroundings of home.

Once you decide whether you want a sauna kit for an indoor or outdoor sauna, then you must make other choices. Is your sauna going to be a traditional dry Finnish sauna or a far infrared sauna? Will your sauna heater be electric, gas, wood-fired, or infrared? How big do you want your sauna to be? What sauna features are most important to you?

To help you answer these and other questions, it is vital that you select a fully qualified sauna kit provider. Some sauna kit retailers are strictly dealers, while some are sauna manufacturers as well. If the quality of your pre-cut sauna kit materials is a priority to you, you would be wise to focus on sauna manufacturers, as they have greater control of the products they offer their customers.

Also, try to find a company that specializes in home saunas and sauna kits; a sauna specialist should be far more knowledgeable about pre-cut saunas than someone who sells saunas, hot tubs, swimming pools, gazebos, lawn furniture, and various other home improvement products. When buying a sauna or sauna kit, you deserve the security of knowing that the sauna supplier you have selected is a true sauna expert who can answer all your questions.

Always be attentive to the quality of the customer service you receive from your sauna supplier. How helpful, patient or pushy are the salespeople? How willing are they to assist you with your selection? What guarantees does the company provide? How clear and comprehensive are the instructions they include with their sauna kits? Do they have any customer testimonials on their website or in their brochures? What are their prices and policies for delivery?

Shopping for a pre-cut sauna kit can be challenging at times, but your efforts will be rewarded if you stay focused on making the right choices for your home, budget, lifestyle, and personal needs and preferences. If you shop for your do-it-yourself sauna kit responsibly, the joy and pride you feel in your new home sauna once it is assembled will be immensely satisfying.

Pertti Olavi Jalasjaa is the Finnish-born author of “The Art of Sauna Building,” an acclaimed reference book on sauna construction. He is also the general manager of Great Saunas, which has been manufacturing and selling high-quality saunas and sauna kits to sauna enthusiasts around the world since 1974.

Everything you need to know from silk to real flowers

Are you one of those folks that needs to figure-it-out all the time? Are you one of those Law of Attraction students who catches yourself saying things like, “I wonder how this is going to come to me?” or, “What do I need to figure out so I know what to do next (to manifest what I desire)?”
Attention Law of Attraction Students!
Stop trying to figure out where/how/when your manifestation is going to come! It’s not your job!

Here’s a great tool that will help all of you ‘figure-it-outers’ reduce your need to figure it out. Those of you who are thinkers need to see it or know it before you can fully accept that The Law of Attraction exists and is working in your life. You need proof before you can STOP being a sceptic. Ideally, if I could show you a test tube with Law of Attraction ‘proof’ inside it, or a Petri dish with Law of Attraction growing in it, that would be all the proof you’d require. The Law of Attraction does provide us with proof, however, it’s not found in test tubes and Petri dishes.

One of the best tools for getting the proof you need is to begin recording personal evidence of every coincidence or every ‘out of the blue’ experience that happens to you. HINT: Every time you use the words or phrases: serendipity, coincidence, synchronicity, every thing is falling into place, and out of the blue—you are actually gathering your own proof that The Law of Attraction is working in YOUR life!

Folks who are thinkers and ‘figure-it-outers’ simply need this gathering of evidence to reduce their scepticism. Scepticism or doubt produces negative vibrations. More doubt attracts more negative vibration, and as we all know, The Law of Attraction is working in every moment to match our vibration and bring us more of the same, whether wanted or unwanted. Doubt slows down the speed of the delivery of our desires. It’s important to reduce that negative vibration; the less doubt or scepticism we have, the faster we manifest.

Proof does just that! Gathering proof through keeping a log and recording each personal experience of The Law of Attraction reduces doubt for the sceptic. Gathering proof replaces those negative vibrations with the positive vibrations of knowing that The Law of Attraction is indeed working for you, the thinker!

If you are a sceptic, a thinker, or a figure-it-outer, start your log of evidence today. By the time you have logged 7 or 8 personal experiences of The Law of Attraction working in your life, you will be well on your way to knowing through evidence and proof, that The Law of Attraction is working in YOUR life! Enjoy the relief of letting The Law of Attraction arrange, figure it all out, and bring you your desires. It is the recording of evidence and the celebrating of proof that will raise your vibration. Practice using this great tool. You’ll be giving more attention to your desires, doing more allowing and speeding up the delivery of your manifestations.

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the funeral of my
friend Kermit. A pleasure, you ask? Yes, a pleasure and a
honor, because it was a great celebration of Kermit’s life and
the passion and spirit he brought to living it.

Usually, when I go to funerals, the spiritual leader (pastor,
minister, rabbi, cleric, etc.) goes on and on about the
deceased, a person he barely knows; and maybe one or two
friends or associates might say something about the
deceased. Well, Kermit’s funeral was special. The pastor
spoke briefly, a singer sang a hymn, and then the pastor
asked for comments from the audience. That’s when the
funeral became really special. After one and a half hours
later, over forty people had gotten up and shared their
positive experiences and what Kermit meant to them. People
from their 20’s to well over 60-year-old people from different
spiritual, ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds stood up
to make comments. People who served with him in the Navy
(Kermit retired as a Commander) stood up and spoke about
how Kermit changed their lives.

There was story after story about how Kermit made the
speakers overcome obstacles and made them believe they
could do better, and did this with passion. Some of them
were as follows:

1. Past ballplayers talked about Kermit’s cowbell as a rallying
cry at their ballgames.

2. A woman told of having a flat tire on a busy roadway and
Kermit, whom she didn’t know at the time, stopped and
helped her fix the tire; and then they became friends.

3. A businessperson talked about how Kermit volunteered
his time to help him launch a business that is still going
strong after ten years.

4. A previous player described how he was motivated by
Kermit to make something of himself. He went to college and
is a very successful basketball coach teaching the same
principles that Kermit taught him.

5. A man explained that he was going through a divorce and
bankruptcy and was thinking of committing suicide. Kermit
heard about his troubles, called him, and helped him through
these dark times. Now this person helps others through their
challenging moments in life.

Wow! It moved me. Here are five leadership and success
secrets Kermit shared with us. How can you apply them to
become more successful and outstanding leaders?

1. What is Your Cowbell? Create Passion!

Kermit truly enjoyed working with people to make them
better. It was not just the cowbell, but the emotion and
excitement he experienced when seeing other people
succeed. The cowbell was just the tool that Kermit used to
show his passion so that others became passionate. Let
your passion show. Let people know that you are excited
about their accomplishments, and the passion will multiple.

2. Expect the Best. Excellence Will Take Care of the Rest.

It was said about Kermit that when meeting people, he never
met a stranger. In his mind they were already someone he
knew. Kermit always expected the best when interacting
with people, and they eventually rose to his expectations.

Expect the best out of people, and they will rise to your
standards.

3. Understand So That You Are Understood

Kermit’s conversations were always centered on
understanding the other person. For all the years I knew
him, I never knew he was a commander in the Navy. He
didn’t make his title the focus of the conversation. You see,
it wasn’t about him; it was always about the other person’s
interests, needs, etc. Because of this, people naturally
wanted to become involved in Kermit’s projects and help
Kermit make other people successful.

So my question is: How well do you understand your
employees?

Take the time to understand their goals, wants, needs,
hobbies, etc. The more you take time to understand them,
the more your employees will want to help you succeed.

4. Give of Yourself

Kermit always gave his time, energy, and passion without
“keeping score.” In return, the people he helped not only
helped him, but went on to make a difference in other
people’s lives.

Take the time to go the extra mile to see how you can help
your employees, your team, and/or your organization
without “keeping score.” Your employees will feel that you
care, and then they will go to a new level of caring.

5. Share the Knowledge

Kermit took the time to share his knowledge with others so
that they become more successful. Whether it was coaching
a sports team, helping a friend start a business, or sharing
his experiences to get a person through a difficult time,
Kermit took the time to share his knowledge with others.
Because Kermit shared his knowledge, other people became
more successful and they shared their knowledge with
others so that they could be more successful.

What special knowledge do you have that can help others
succeed? Don’t hoard your knowledge, share it. By sharing
your knowledge, you multiply yourself and become known
as a developer of people. Your knowledge, once you share
it, will live on after you are gone.

Apply these five leadership techniques and create success
in your business, with your team, in your community, and
your life. Just like Kermit, you will also see instant results.

Thanks for sharing, Kermit, and making the world a better
place.
