Associate Programs Newsletter #530 May 23, 2012.
Perhaps you've seen the Forbes magazine article on Sara Blakely,
a 41-year-old billionaire.
In 1998, she was selling fax machines.
Today, without spending a cent on advertising or getting venture
capital, she owns 100% of a company that's worth a billion
dollars and has zero debt.
It's a remarkable story about a very determined woman.
Here's something the Forbes article doesn't tell you...
While it says she originally wanted to be a lawyer, and twice
scored abysmally when she took the exam for law school admission,
it doesn't tell you WHY she failed.
In another interview, for Weekend Australian Magazine, Sara
explains why she failed:
"...I can't concentrate for long periods of time, so test-taking
is extremely difficult for me. If I had to guess, I'm one of
those kids that was undiagnosed in something. ADD (attention
deficit disorder) maybe.
"I had a very hard time reading and comprehending."
And yet she went on to become spectacularly rich, owning homes in
Atlanta, Connecticut, La Jolla and Manhattan, and giving away
millions.
Here's the Forbes article. Be inspired...

Add a revenue stream to your blog
=================================
If you own a WordPress blog, here's a way to add a new revenue
stream...
Using the Datafeedr plugin, you can incorporate a webstore into
your blog.
You'll find it surprisingly easier than you expect, even for a
non-techie. I've done it, so it can't be hard. :)
Let's say you blog about gifts, toys, pets, perfumes, posters, T-
shirts, tablets, tennis, or just about anything else imaginable,
you can add a related store to your blog.
As you'd expect, popular topics like gifts, toys and healthy
living are covered, but you can also have a bonsai store or even
a drafting tables store.
In fact, you can now choose from 9,993 merchants and a whopping
183 million products.
You can customize your pages in all sorts of different ways,
mixing and matching, adding your own personalization, rewriting
categories and descriptions etc. and adding modules and your own
content to make your store truly unique.
In 2008, I reviewed the Datafeedr service...
http://www.Associateprograms.com/articles/datafeedr-review.html
Datafeedr was at that time a brand new service for affiliates.
Now - 4 years later - Datafeedr has grown into one of the leading
datafeed integrator services for WordPress.
The Datafeedr service has also been rebuilt from scratch to allow
the owners - Eric Busch and Stefan Everaet - to add more powerful
features.
I recently spoke with Eric and Stefan and they agreed to offer
Associate Programs Newsletter subscribers a 7-day free trial.
You won't find this offer on the Datafeedr public website. This
is currently an exclusive offer for this newsletter only.
If you want to try out Datafeedr just visit the page below...
http://www.datafeedr.com/apn
If you're new to Datafeedr, start by watching the main video.
Eric and Stefan have also made available a recording of a webinar
they did with one of their successful Datafeedr members, Michael
Kane, who earns thousands of dollars a month from his blogs. If
you're in a hurry, see the transcript. Michael does things
differently from most Datafeedr users so its worth checking out
what he does.
Also watch some of the other video tutorials to see what is
possible with Datafeedr.
If you like what you see and would like to sign up for the free
trial just click the big red "Try It Now" button...

Did you make good sales during the Christmas rush last year? You
might want to think about creating some new revenue streams in
time for this year's holiday season. Datafeedr can help you do
that.

Thought for today: Surprises
============================
"One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great
surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't
do. - Henry Ford.
