The reason is that it become fairly hot, it doesn’t burn, but it feels uncomfortable on my legs. And it just doesn’t feel right.

Therefore, a few days ago, I decided to boy iLap from Rain Design. iLap is a laptop stand that’s made of aluminium with sand-blasted and silver anodized finish, and it’s designed to match MacBook.

Here’s a picture of how it looks on my desk.

iLap keeps the computer cool, and it’s comfortable to work close to everywhere.

The design is awesome, it matches the MacBook perfect. You can use it with any other computer as well, the only difference, I think, is that it matches the MacBook’s design.

I bought iLap for my 13 inch MacBook, they also sell it for 15 inch and 17 inch MacBooks.

To me, iLap is perfect. It’s hard to imagine any other laptop desk being as perfect as iLap. The only drawback is the price, well, I should probably be more correct. The only drawback is the price in Norway, where I bought it.

At Rain Design’s website you can buy it for $49.90 (13 inch), I paid close to $120. That’s the price in Norway. I wanted it so badly while I was at the Apple store, and I would probably have to pay more than $100 anyway from Rain Design, when I inlcude shipping and customs. Hence, the price is the only drawback, everything else is perfect.

Let me tell you what My Cash Printer is, and what it’s not.

You’ll get:

- A detailed plan – money making program
- Unlimited email support 24/7
- Your own website
- Personal coach

When you access the download page, you’ll get everything in 6 steps.

Step 1: Set up your own ecommerce website
Step 2: Download the system guide
Step 3: Automated quick start guide
Step 4: Automated online sales guide
Step 5: VIP access to survey money daily
Step 6: Automated AdWords wealth guide

To me, My Cash Printer is an interesting opportunity for people new to Internet marketing and people looking for a way to earn money online.

It’s fairly cheap. By paying a one time fee of $49.95, you’ll get your own business, and a detailed plan about how to automate it, and how to earn money 24/7.

I believe that it works, but it’s not like you can set it up in five minutes, and everything is automated for you. Nothing is that simple, not even My Cash Printer.

My Cash Printer is a system, an easy system fra a to z, about how to set up everything you need in order to be doing a business online.

The eBooks are all easy to read, the topics are well-known, and includes stuff like:

- Making money from blogs
- Making money from affiliate marketing
- Starting your own online business
- Get paid to websites, surveys etc.
- Write articles for money
- Look for profitable websites and buy them
- Learn the art of PPC (Pay Per Click)
- Make money from YouTube
- Owning a forum

… and more.

You’ll learn how to find really profitable programs, how to write profitable ads and setting up automated campaigns.

As I have written earlier, My Cash Printer is step by step system on how to set up your own online business. What I find most interesting about the system is the mentoring and the personal coach. It’s quite possible to become successful by reading eBooks and blueprints, and set everything up yourself, but if you get a personal coach, the chances for success is a lot higher.

When you buy My Cash Printer, you’ll get a one time offer. It looked very interesting, but I passed. That’s mostly because I just wanted access to the blueprint.

James Jordan, the creator of My Cash Printer, is offering a 56 day no questions asked, risk-free 100% money back guarantee. If you buy it, and you are not satisfied, you can request a refund, and there will be no questions asked.

This is what you get.

The Quality of the Content

The owner of Special Report Club is Melissa Ingold, and I have to tell you that the quality of the content is high, and the reports are awesome. So far, I’ve received reports about Twitter and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I’ve read them and I’ve used them, and the results have been great.

I think that this membership is a lot like the one from All Private Label Content, but instead of receiving all the various articles and how to sheets about all sorts of topics, Special Report Club is about one topic each month. And the topic is always related to Internet Marketing.

In other words, you get one topic in the Internet Marketing niche, and you get all sorts of stuff related to it:

- One 30 page PLR report
- One 10 page PLR give away report
- A brandable version of both reports
- A sales letter to sell the 30 page report from
- A thank-you page
- A squeeze page to collect subscribers
- A confirmation page with upsell copy
- A thank-you page with upsell copy
- 5 follow-up emails for your autoresponder
- One promotional email
- Two professionally designed ecovers
- Five 400-600 word PLR articles
- Five 300 word PLR blog posts
- List of affiliate program recommendations to the topic of the month

You can probably understand why I’m very satisfied with Special Report Club. I think it’s an awesome deal at only $27 a month.

Guarantee

You get a 30 day money back guarantee. You can use it for 30 days, if you don’t like it, you’ll get all your money in return.

Alice Seba & Mila Sidman, the owners, deliver really good content in a variety of topics every single month. The price is not bad either. For instance, I pay $24.97 a month for the All Marketing Content membership.

Private Label Rights (PLR)

This is content that you can modify to fit your needs. If you buy an article with PLR rights, you can rewrite the article, and you can put your name as the author. If you buy an ebook with PLR rights, you can either just add your name as the author, or you can turn it into articles, add new graphics, and a new sales letter, and earn money by selling it. In other words, you can do whatever you want with the content (but be sure to read the rights of the products before you do).

The reason I think PLR is awesome, is that you can use a lot less time in order to publish an awesome product. You don’t have to start out with nothing.

The Topics

At All Private Label Content you can receive monthly content in the following topics:

- Marketing Content: business and marketing etc.
- Mom Content: parenting, women’s interests etc.
- Health Content: weight loss, general health etc.
- Finance Content: money, budget etc.
- Green Content: eco-friendly lifestyle

You can also buy article bundles, mini memberships, mini bundles, press release packs, recipe bundles, research bundles and more.

The Quality

The quality of the content is high. I really don’t need to do any spell checking, or any rewriting. The reason I do the rewriting is that I want my content to be 100% unique.

The Membership

As a member of All Marketing Content, I receive a lot of content every single month:

- 30 Monthly Articles
- 10 Monthly Product Profiles
- 10 Monthly “How to Sheets”
- 1 Monthly 7-10 Page Report

I also receive suggestions about how to use the PLR content, and how to optimize it for search engines. There are also a list of related affiliate programs included. I can use the articles as blog posts and include the affiliate programs in order to earn money.

There’s a members-only forum, where all members can share information and ask questions.

A newly added software is the Speedy APL Publisher. I’ve never used it. If you want to turn the content into blog posts, it helps you to easily publish your PLR content to your WordPress blog.

If you’re looking for PLR, I really recommend All Private Label Content. I’ve been a member for many months, and I’m still very satisfied with the content I receive every single month.

Guarantee

All their monthly memberships are backed by full 30-day satisfaction money-back guarantee.

I’ve been using Spam Arrest for a few years now, and I’m receiving close to zero spam.

They have some awesome statistics. I’ve received more than 101.000 messages, and close to 54.000 of them have been classified as spam. Check the stats below.

More than 50% of all the emails I’ve received was classified as spam, no wonder I was frustrated when I had to delete hundreds of emails every single day.

Easy to set up

It’s easy to set up. Just add some information to your Spam Arrest account, and add the new Spam Arrest information to your email account. It takes a few minutes, and it starts working straight away.

How Spam Arrest works

You have one white list of people you want to receive emails from (like your contacts). You have one blacklist of people you don’t want to receive emails from. When people that’s not on either of the lists sends you an email, they’ll get a message in return, asking them to confirm their email address by entering a captcha (random letters and numbers). When they enter it, they’ll never get the message again, and all their new emails to you will be sent directly to your inbox. If they don’t enter the captcha, you won’t receive the email.

All the automated spam messages will be stopped. If a few people sends you messages that you don’t want to receive, you can still block them even though they’ve entered the captcha. Just add them to your blacklist.

The free trial

I tried the free trial of Spam Arrest more than 2 years ago. Since then I’ve been a loyal member, and I probably will be for many years a head. It’s a real time saver and they have awesome support.

I’m not really having any problems when it comes to my to-do lists, at least not after I read GTD. The book was brilliant, and it thought me the stuff I’ve been missing when it comes to focus and how to remember all the things I was forgetting.

The reason I bought Todoodlist, was because of the subtitles.

“Technology is great. Pencils are better.”

“A simple book about falling in love with paper, simplifying your life, and following your dreams.”

As soon as I read this, I just had to have it.

As you can see, I’ve also printed the ebook (97 pages), because I love paper.

The ebook is funny, and it’s straight to the point. Everything you do with your computer, iPhone, or PDA, when it comes to to-do lists (and getting things done), you can do it with a pencil and paper.

I wasn’t sure before reading the book, but now I’m sure. Actually, at the moment, I’m not using Things or any other software, I’m using paper. It’s a lot more fun, and it’s a lot easier, and it works.

Nick Cernis presents five brilliant ideas about how pencil and paper should be used, and all the five ideas are awesome. I’ve never thought of using any of them, even though they are really easy to use. When I read them, I almost heard myself saying “Why didn’t I think of that.”

If you’re looking for a way to become more effective, and getting things done, you should start out with Todoodlist. It’s cheap, fast, and it will turn your life around.

I tested a few first, and Things from Cultured Code, was the one that really got my attention. It was due to some of the reviews I read, the video I watched on their sales page, but also due to the fact that Things was also available for iPhone.

Features

Things got everything I was looking for in a task management software, and then some. I especially like the quick entry, where I can add tasks very quickly, even though I am using a completely different software. Once I get something on my mind, I like to get it off my mind as quickly as possible, and that’s when I add them to Things.

Things makes it easy to add tasks, and it makes it easy to manage them. I think it’s because of how easy it is to view all the tasks, either by viewing the inbox (unsorted tasks), viewing the tasks sorted on a time frame (today, next, someday or scheduled), or by viewing them based on projects or areas of responsibility.

To me, the features of Things when it comes to task management is perfect.

Syncing

With Things on my Mac and on my iPhone, I am able to sync and always stay updated. I use my iPhone to add most of my tasks, because I don’t spend that much time using a computer anymore. It seems like I am always on the run, at least when I compare my schedule now to my schedule about a year ago.

I sync using my WiFi network at home, it took me about two minutes to figure out how. And it works great, all I have to do now, is open up Things on both my iPhone and on my iMac at the same time, and the software syncs right away.

The sync feature is not perfect though. I tried the same at work, but nothing happened. I have been trying to figure out the problem for several days, but so far, I have no clue why it doesn’t sync with my Mac at work. I think it has to do with the WiFi network at work, I’ve had some other minor problems with this network earlier (so, I guess I shouldn’t blame Things for this).

Mobile Me

I really think that Things is an amazing piece of software. I am using it several times a day, and so far it seems to be flawless (except for the part about syncing at work). The only thing I can think of, that needs to be added, is support for mobile me. Because to me, syncing within my local WiFi is not enough.

iDisk

Even though I couldn’t get Things to sync at work using our WiFi, I managed to sync it using iDisk. What I did was copy the library of Things to the local version of iDisk. The iDisk folder syncs automatic with Mobile Me, and when I share the Things library at work and at my computer at home it turns out exactly the way I was hoping for.

Price

I first thought that it was fairly expensive, with $49.95 for Mac and $9.99 for the iPhone . But after downloading and using the free trial for several days, I decided that it was worth every dollar.

Alternatives to Things

I have tested several other task management softwares, but I have only found one very interesting alternative to Things when it comes to task management software for Mac. This alternative is OmniFocus. I am not going to say that Things is better, because I believe that both seems to be excellent. I decided to buy Things, but I know other people that decided to buy OmniFocus… and they are just as satisfied with their software as I am with mine.

I have to admit, I could see myself as the author. If I would write a novel, it would probably be a lot like this one. I could also see myself as Josh, the seventeen year old boy that created this hugely popular website about consumerism and waste. I was just as shy and felt the world as a really awkward place when I was seventeen.

The website is run by Larry, Josh’s Internet alter-ego. Nobody knows the identity of Larry, but soon, the “whole world” is chasing him… almost true paparazzi style.

At first, I thought this book would be all about fun and entertainment. How Josh could hide behind Larry, and how the world would go nuts over his cool website (even Bono did go nuts), and how Josh finally got Beth, the girl he had been in love with for years. But the book was a lot different, it had some moral dimensions.

Josh set out to make the world a better place, but ended up being trapped instead. Larry started out as a cool alter-ego, but ended up as a character that everyone was trying to figure out the identity of. For a second, I almost wrote the ending… but I won’t.

I urge you to read The Gospel According To Larry, it was different, and a whole lot more entertaining and inspiring than most of the books I’ve read.

Inspiration is the keyword.

Anthony Kiedis is one of the most famous lead vocalists in the world, and Red Hot Chili Peppers is sort of like The Beatles of this decade when it comes to popularity.

I decided to read the book because Red Hot Chili Peppers has been one of my favorite bands the past 20 years. I wanted to understand the story; how they got started, why they changed their music, their breakthrough, and how they are living their lives.

I was in for a ride, as close to a rollercoster ride as possible when it comes to autobiographies. The Red Hot Chili Peppers was launched by coincidence, Anthony Kiedis was not a singer, he was more of an announcer on the concerts for his friends. He was doing drugs and hanging around on the clubs, when they started jamming together just for fun. He had always had a way with words though, and writing his own materials and having a performance packed with energy really helped. They decided to try it.

They launched the band in 1983, and since then, it’s been a story of a lot of drug use. Their original guitarist, Hillel Slovak, died of an heroin overdose in 1988. Since then, Anthony Kiedis and Michael Peter Balzary (aka Flea) are the only original members still in the band. It’s been a very interesting journey from the start in 1983.

The reason I say it’s inspiring, is due to the fact that they have had a lot of problems, probably a lot more than other rock bands. They never gave up, even when it looked like they had no chance to recover as a band. Anthony Kiedis have been close to dying on several occations, most due to his drug use, but I think that the strong friendship and bonding between Anthony Kiedis and Flea is what really saved the band and made it such a huge success.

Obviously you have to be creative and highly competent in order to have success, but the story of Anthony Kiedis and the Red Hot Chili Peppers also shows that you’d need to hang in there, no matter how hard it may seem. Never give up, and only then, you’ll discover the true meaning of success.
