A Happy New Year To All Our Blog Readers
Linda and I wish you health, wealth and happiness in 2009.
It seems a million years ago that we started out online, selling a cheap ebook from webspace provided by our Internet Service Provider. It was back in the dim and distant days of 1997. We got our first payment for $45.40 from ebook sales back in July 1997. Later that year, we registered scamfreezone.com, and never looked back! Since then, we’ve launched a string of products, tracked sales of over a million dollars through our affiliate program, and paid off two mortgages, including the house we currently live in. More than that, though, we’ve made a lot of great friends online and have helped countless others launch their own online businesses.
We urge you to seize 2009 as the year you break free from your boss, from your mortgage, from fears of impending economic doom and grasp the freedom of being your own boss, working from home and setting your own income goals.
It’s a truly liberating experience.
Let us know what help you need to start and run your own online business, and we’ll do our best to help.

Hi Neil,
>It’s a truly liberating experience.
Actually its truly liberating just to be *on* that road, instead of running around the hamster wheel every day knowing you’re just helping someone else build *their* freedom!
Wishing you a wonderful 2009.

2009 is going to be such an incredible year, in fact just in the first few days my suspicions about what will happen have been confirmed. The world is going to change in an incredible way. Cancer will be eliminated as well as the majority of human disease. That’s something to look forward to.

Dear Neil and Linda,
I’m wishing you and your family a happy, healthy, and safe New Year!
Congratulations on your past Internet business achievements and your entrepreneurial journey serves to inspire and motivate. I’m trying to follow your footsteps, confident that your blog can help pave the way towards greater success.
While I appreciate your past advice on link building and seo tips, I’m hoping that you can continue to report on these topics. Moreover, I’m hoping that you can also highlight affordable, yet reputable, companies that provide Internet marketing and/or seo services.
Best Regards,
Andy Lax

Thanks for the motivation
Was doing really well with my business in the early part of last year but the day job took over, things just got busy
Not looking to sack the boss, love my day job, but will increase my commitment to the online business this year

Hi Neil, Thanks so much for RealLinkFinder. What a phenomenal, straightforward, easy-to-use piece of software. After I made my first post on one of the blogs it returned and it linked back to my site, I got a chill down my spine! And when I think about what the potential is…well, another big chill!
Happy 2009 to both you and Linda

Happy New Year to you too! I’m starting to play around with RealLinkFinder and may do a review on my blog. Here’s to a great 2009.

Hi Neil, I do not know if this is the propper place in your blog to write this comment or help asking in this case. First I want to thank you for your link finder software, I heard about it at pbggrlatino.com and I think that it is going to be a really helpful tool for those who want to create traffic to our web pages. I already managed to download the installer to my computer, I saw your helping videos of installing and using the software, but it will not install in my computer because apparently I do not have the software needed to run the program, but I yet do not know what software they mean. So could you help me out with this please?. My computer is kind of old, I have Windows XP and standard Internet Explorer.

Thats an inspiring story.. hopefully this month my new website will be launch and start creating a small online business that would also be a successful online biz someday.

Happy New Year to all of you mates…

What a great thing to wish for everyone in 2009.
I couldn’t agree with the idea any more than I do. I hope everyone who does want to start their own business gets the job done this year!
January 16th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Most people are scared to try it on their own. Working from home is always at the bottom of the list. I have always been hankering for freedom and late last year, I found a winding route to it. I would have wished for a straight road but the one I’m on is just fine–for now. I know I’ll be doing better this 2009. Cheers and happy new year to all!
January 16th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
