Well now Werner, that's a pessimistic sort of maths you practice (grin)! Two sign-ups out of 155 leads is roughly 0.77 percent, which is not bad at all. In fact it's pretty darn good.

Yep. Does.

Jaap.

Well done, great!

Jaap Verduijn.

Thanks mate! Really appreciate it.

Be well!

Oh, alright then: if y'all are showing me yours, I'll show you mine (grin)!

The gentle art of making money

Making money is an art. Some will thoughtfully maintain that it's a science, but they're largely wrong. But... what's the difference? Easy: to succeed in science one needs lots of work and dedication, to succeed in art one needs dedication, lots of work, and a serious stroke of madness.

Yep. The "mad scientist" is the exception, the "mad artist" is the rule. And that's exactly how the cosmos seems to like it: mad scientists soon disappear from history, while mad artists are honored, on and on and on, forever. The only painful truth is that they tend to die poor, while their offspring get richer every day (sad grin...)!

So... wouldn't it after all not be slightly better to combine the artist and the scientist, when it comes to making money? Yes, it would. But there's still one component lacking, because... in order to make good money working at home on the internet, one needs to be three things: a scientist, an artist and... a lazybones! The latter is often overlooked, which not only leads to disappointment, but also contributes to 95% of all aspiring internet entrepreneurs failing miserably.

"Now what's that?" one might surprisedly ask, "Isn't building an internet business hard work and endless toil then?" Sure, it is. Absolutely. You don't even know how much work and toil! But there's one glaring difference with building a brick-and-mortar business: you need to do it sitting down!

I can't emphasize this enough: to succesfully create an internet empire you need to be able to sit down behind your computer and keep sitting down, not only hours but often days on end. It's not for the active types, the restless kind, the itchy folks, the "I can't sit down for any prolonged time" guys 'n gals. Those won't make it.

So you'd better enjoy sitting down on the wrinkled butt. Becoming an internet tycoon is not for the restless or the jump-arounders, which is exactly why 95 percent of all "tryers" fail. Will you? Yes, probably. The odds are desperately against you. Unless, like me, you are too lazy to fail.

Greetings all!

First a little question to Rob: the largest newspaper in the Netherlands, eh? That must be my old employer De Telegraaf! I worked there in the late sixties/early seventies, first as a proofreader and then as a journalist/editor. I "was" for a while Stan Huygens, when that (half) page still fell under Fuut van Loon's department. Eventually Tom Lepeltak took over, but by then I had already left De Telegraaf.

Anyway, I am Jaap Verduijn, a 61 years old bloke now living in Ede, The Netherlands. Seen much of the world, done many jobs, have known life hard and have known it easy. Dropped out of local politics about 6 months ago, and need to do SOMETHING (big grin)! So I decided to build myself an internet empire (even bigger grin)! With GDI I'm still in my trial period with absolutely zilch results, but even if I won't get the faintest sign of a downline in any foreseeable future I'll hang on anyway, on account of being to stubborn (stupid?) to quit.

Be well!

Jaap Verduijn.
