AlternativeNet

These were the first 10 emails that appeared in my In-Box this morning.
What do these headings imply? They imply I am a webmaster, I have an
issue with my supposed website and I am inadvertently connected to a
person whom thinks they are smarter then I am, somebody got a scoop
on something that there were 19 of, I could/should make money, then
someone thinks I am broke someone thinks I am broke cause
they will pay my way, I like or need gifts, I need or am looking for work,
I am greedy or broke and need $50.00, and I need more education.

Wow, and these people don't even know me. Can you imagine what
kind of offers I would get if they knew what my requirements and
qualifications are. Obviously, all of these people sent me something that
THEY are involved with and could care diddley about what I am
involved with as none them inquired about that.

So, why did they put the effort into contacting me. Some of this e-mail
is very involved - somebody took the time to write them.

I believe this is the beginning of crux of the matter. Writing is a form
of release from inner tension. Therapy suggest folks write their
thoughts to get rid of torments. Coping with our current everyday life
is a form of torment isn't it? Every thing has to be done in a certain
socially acceptable manner, time is always of the essence, and there
seems to be the "chasing your tail for a dollar mentality" that has also
become very prominent too.

This bring us to the next part of the equation. Money. Everyone of the
emails I received is a plea for money. How sad. Everyone is so sanctimonious
about street peddling but here we are gaily Internet peddling, which bring us to
that last part of the equation. The "Internet".

All that previously useless writing energy has now been given a direction
to fulfill our constant need for more and more money to flow to the world
without the otherwise restrictive, socially acceptable manners, equitiques,
niceties, etc., etc., etc, we otherwise are forced to follow.

Plain, pure and simple E-mail is a release of nervous energy by people
whom are suffering financial tension and as the Internet is so impersonal
has shed all personal restrictions or inhabitation as well.

But...sometimes I get a letter from one of my brothers with news from home
so I keep the e-mail flowing - for now.

Auto and other Transportation Books

Collectors, Hobbyists and Mechanical Service Industries
all look for and covenant these types of books.

These books started to appear on the market as early as the beginning of
the last century. Ford Motors is responsible for generating great public
support and awareness and were at the forefront of the automobile industry
for many years after.

Today, we have a large group of automobile manufacturers' books from all
parts of the world to choose from. Support of product and servicing can be
contentious in some instances. Try to find a Renault part and then try to find
a service man to install it. It's possible but it is also very costly at least in
North America. Without a repair book it would be impossible for anyone
to either service or repair such a vehicle. But it is a good car. That is
why these books are so valuable; they let us act outside the box.

Repair Books are intended for trade mechanics and, therefore, a high level of
mechanical knowledge is required. These books are not intended for the
"do-it-yourself" guys as they cover many brands and models in one volume. It is not
uncommon for one book to exceed 1,000 pages.

The Blue Book first published in 1926 by Les Kelley is a price digest which provides
official valuation for most makes of vehicles. It includes the factory price, average
retail cost, average finance value, wholesale value, plus VIN codes in the value tables.
There are different blue books for different years and types of vehicles.

The Black Book. No kidding - it is real. For over 40 years it has been used for
evaluating used cars for insurance purposes, determining trade-in values and auction
pricing. It is based on current trends of actual sales.

The Red Book is an essential pocket reference book for a specific line of vehicles
which provides all the vehicles data over a specific period of time. They are extremely
useful.

Finding a source for these types of books can be very valuable, not only in actually
obtaining the book(s) but in the saving of time to locate them and the terms on which
they are obtained. For further information go to

Wholesale Auto Tools And Equipment Supply

Automotive tools were a hodgepodge of manufacturing standards
right up to 1947 when 50 equipment and tool manufacturers in the
United States grouped together to form the Equipment and Tool
Institute (ETI) to promote and maintain their products and assist in
training the service people in their industry. It has an incredible
success history and today it is considered the standard bearer of
automotive tools and equipment.

This event was the beginning of setting the standards that today's
auto repair and body shops work to and maintain for the ultimate
benefit of the end user.

While their members were upholding these standard some of the
finest tools in the market became common place and then
unfortunately became diluted with knock-offs, or lacked quality
material, and/or were even abbreviated, so now sub-standard
tools became available. The danger of this practice became
apparent when injured fingers, broken limbs and even death
were attributed to faulty equipment.

All trades people know that you have to have reliable auto equipment
and tools when working on a job. It stops accidents of a tool breaking
while you are in the middle of a procedure.

The best assurance of obtaining the quality of tools and equipment
which you require is to find a knowledgeable source that consistently
supplies you with the right product, when you need it at the best price.

What would indicate all of the above? :

1. Experience in the Industry by the Supply Company would be of the
greatest assistance to you as through their knowledge it will prevent
you from wondering into unknown waters and causing the trial and error
process to take place;

2. Then the quantity and quality of a large inventory readily available at
any time you require it;

3. A base network of major manufacturers and distributors;

4. Specialty auto tools which are vehicle and job specific;

5. Comparing costs is easy enough providing you compare apples to
apples. That means the same manufacturer and part number from one
source to another;

6. Are they weaseling you on shipping charges? What shipping alternatives
do you need. If you are just ordering inventory for your shop to have on hand
you can wait 7 - 10 days. If you are in the middle of a job and need that part
now - how much extra is that going to cost?

7. What sort of warranty is being offered to back your investment and trust in
them?

Get to know this wholesale auto tools and equipment supply company
which only handles a preferred choice of auto tools and equipment supported by
enviable Customer Service.

Ok - So it is FREE - So What!

The 1st question you need to ask yourself is why is it free?
The 2nd question you need answered is what is it?
The 3rd question is how can you use it?
And finally the last question is have you enough computer
room to house it. You know - how much unused space do
you have in your computer? Many programs take a huge
amount of space to set up residence.

I bet you didn't think about those questions when
you received an e-mail or visited a web site and it was
shown as something for FREE.

Just remember "Free" is going to cost you time for a
learning curve or reading time, which in turn is breaking
your focus on what you should be doing with your business.
Be discretionary in your downloads or sign-ups.

When You Are Starting A Business On The Internet

1. Drive, Ambition, Tenacity. Yeah, yeah, you know all that. But do you? What about when you are sitting there at 12:30 at night and nothing seems to be working for you. Where is your drive then? Or, you get an invite to go to a friend's house - they are having a party and you know you haven't configured some software yet? Do you stay home and do what you should be doing or do you go out?

2. A Business Plan, Just wanting to generate more cash flow doesn't work. Just signing up to various programs you found on the Internet doesn't work. At least not usually. So determine:

3. Equipment A computer and an Internet connection are the absolute basics, however having a printer, scanner, Webcam, digital camera, and proper working space will be very useful too.

4. Software or Specialized Computer Programs Your computer came packed with a system and usually some kind of office functioning software. There are other programs that are not generally loaded by the dealer though. Win Zip, Adobe Reader, and an FTP client for uploading. There are many more programs that you will probably want as the need arises but they can be worked in as time progresses

5. Marketing Methods This is where the fun begins. Whom and how are you going to work with to get you up and running? You can be an affiliate only which is an online salesman. You get paid for what you sell. Unless you are planning to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising not a whole lot is going to happen. Using free advertising will take forever to mature and start generating any kind of cash flow. If you have the knowledge, you can work with your own web pages but you still will need products. Right? Then, sooner or later, you are going to have to figure out how you can get traffic to your web page/web site as you have to generate leads which hopefully will turn into sales. Ha! Until you get to this point you are not getting paid for your efforts.

So, review what we have just covered - do you still want to start your Internet Business?

If you do, I would love to talk with you and give you a hand. I will introduce you to a program that has helped me immensely in getting my business going.
