Hi everyone,

I just thought id make a quick post listing essential equipment that all working vagabonds should take with them on the road.  The equipment list below is additional to any equipment you would normally take traveling.

• WIFI enabled laptop, charger, surge protector, and any required plug adapters for the countries you are planning to visit
• All required software for web design, market research, article writing/spinning, photo/video editing etc
• Digital camera with USB leads, memory cards, batteries and battery charger
• Skype account and headset with microphone for making and receiving skype calls
• Removable hard drives containing backups of all business files
• A cryptic list of all business related login details
• Business bank cards and emergency banking telephone numbers

This list isn’t necessarily exhaustive for every remote worker, but provides a good guide to the absolutely essential equipment for working on the road.  This list will of course evolve through time as technology advances, and I will be making regular updates to the list accordingly.

I hope you found this post helpful and I look forward to receiving your comments and feedback.

Welcome to my affiloblueprint review post.  I honestly believe that this post may be one of the most important things that you will ever read.

My personal journey towards building an online business began as an idea and a desire.  The desire was to develop some sort of online income stream that would release me from working 9 til 5 everyday in the same location.  I have always been a vagabond with a burning desire to roam the earth, and so naturally my mind often wondered how I could create a lifestyle for myself whereby I decided where and when to work.  I knew that the technology for remote working was available all over the world (laptop, Internet connections), but I didn’t have a solid idea of how to actually make any money from the web.

After purchasing a few ebooks and getting a bit disheartened about the quality of information that I was paying for I stumbled upon a post on the warrior forums where forum members were discussing their favorite “make money online” training materials.  Several warrior members were raving about Mark Ling and his affiloblueprint course, so naturally I checked it out.  Actually, I purchased the course about 15 minutes after hearing about it and have never looked back.  Affiloblueprint provided me with an exact blueprint to follow to make my remote working dreams come true.

Affiloblueprint began as a live recording where Mark Ling built a new website in a niche that he new nothing about.  He built the site in front of a live audience, in a step by step fashion, eventually monetizing the site with affiliate products.  This live recording then became a step by step 12 week newbie proof course taught by Mark along with his staff member Aletta.  The course is broken down in to 55 separate videos spread out over the 12 weeks.  The videos that make up the course follow a logical progression through the whole process of building an income generating website, covering absolutely everything you need to know to get an online business up and running.  The videos are also regularly updated to keep up with the times.  In fact, Aletta announced that several videos are being updated this week (wb 29/03/2010)  The website that Mark builds in the course can be found here.

Among the topics comprehensively covered in the affilobluepint course are how to select a profitable niche, choosing keywords to target, monetizing your site, search engine optimisation and search engine marketing, email marketing, pay per click advertising, and much more.  Mark also highlights the potential for outsourcing various aspect of the workload when the money starts rolling in.

I have purchased a wide variety of make money online training materials, but affiloblueprint is by far the best course that I have encountered.  If you are fairly new to making money online, and are serious about making it work for you, then affiloblueprint is a must buy.

Afiloblueprint is taught using both xsitepro and wordpress, and includes an excellent wordpress theme for Internet marketing.  Mark also gives fantastic advice throughout the course on how to keep business start up costs to a minimum.  Another fantastic feature of the course is the affiloblueprint members forum.  The forum is full of helpful affiloblueprint members, all helping each other towards their goals.  Mark Ling and his staff actively participate in discussions on the forum, answering questions and giving advice.  Mark comes across as being a genuinely nice guy who truly want his students to succeed, a rare trait for a millionaire Internet guru.  The affiloblueprint forums also contain a selection of success stories from many experienced affiloblueprint members, detailing monthly earnings and providing motivation for members just starting out.

The essence of the affiloblueprint course isn’t to build million dollar websites straight away.  Instead, the affiloblueprint course teaches complete newbies how to build a series of websites that earn between US$50 and US$200 per week.  Mark’s WOW Blackbook site ended up bringing in US$500 per week, but he is very experienced, and newbies will inevitably make some mistakes.  The idea is to develop successful sites into authority websites over time, as well as to keep building new niche sites, until your final income goal is reached.  Mark insists from the beginning that this is no get rich quick scheme, and it certainly takes hard work and dedication to build a website empire.

The affiloblueprint course comes with a months subscription to affilorama premium, another excellent membership service provided by Mark Ling and his team at affilorama.  Affilorma premium is aimed at slightly more advanced Internet marketers than than the affiloblueprint course is, but the tools, training, and interviews with other Internet millionaires are truly excellent and come highly recommended.  Affiloblueprint also comes with a 60 day money back guarantee if you are not completely happy with the course, making it a completely risk free purchase.  I seriously doubt that many people take up this refund, such is the quality of the course and community that affiloblueprint provides its members.
