Blogging as we know it started in late 1990s. It was a way to comment about someone's webpage, an opportunity for visitors to react and voice their opinion about what they had read. What started as a single-sentence comment has evolved into pages of personal commentary and review about every subject you can possibly imagine. Blogging has become so popular that internet marketers have began to tap into this huge opportunity to sell their goods and services to an untapped market. As the world wide web continues to evolve, you will see a continued use of blog sites to promote e-commerce. Why blog?
First of all blogging is simple. The simplest way to have a presence on the net is through blogging. Very few skills are necessary-if you can read, type, and click a mouse – you can blog. If you have access to a computer and an Internet connection (who doesn’t?) then you can blog.
Secondly blogging is more personal than traditional advertising. In this day and age where advertising is done with endorsements from movie stars and celebrities, it is refreshing to hear from ordinary people talking about their lives, loves, and passions. A blog gives a sense of credibility to the writer and by association, to their products as well. Building trust is the primary benefit marketers will derive from a quality blog presence on the web.
Thirdly, blogging is inexpensive. If you are new to internet marketing, you can set up a blog site for very little, however, when your budget is large enough you should consider upgrading. You will need to spend time and effort if you want to provide quality content for your readers. People are more apt to read your information if it is presented in a clear, professional manner. There are many tools available to accomplish this. I recommend Word Press as one of the best sites to build your blog presence. They provide a wide range of tools and accessories to build your blog site.
Forth blogging has the potential to increase your market share.
· Your new blog site should contain links to your company home page. You must provide the opportunity for your readers to find out more about your company and the product or services you provide. This word-of-mouth advertising is one method to grow your business.
· Use your blog to high light one of your products. Why is your product better than your competition? What problem does your product solve?
· Offer discount coupons or other "gifts" to your blog site visitors. Not only will your number of visitors increase, but you will gain valuable information about the people visiting your blog site.
· Use your blog to survey your readers. What do they like about your product? What don't they like? What products would they like to see available? How often do they purchase this product? Etc. etc. This can serve as a starting point for new product development.
· Join a blog network. There are networks for every conceivable group or subject you can imagine. People who visit your site are there because they have an interest in what you are doing. Targeted visitors are the best you can ask for. If you have done your work properly, these visitors will be easier to convert to customers
· Use RSS feeds to support your blogging effort. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a fast growing technology used on the Internet today. Loyal visitors to your site can use an RSS feed to receive new information from you as soon as it is posted. This allows them to stay current with what is being posted on your blog. You have the opportunity to "feed" information to potential customers.
A well-constructed blog site should be a part of every internet marketing strategy. Without a blog, you are slowing your growth and leaving money on the table!

No Website? - No Problem!
It is a commonly held belief that in order to conduct business on the World Wide Web, you must have your very own website. Your own website is your "virtual store" in cyberspace where your potential customers come to in order to view your goods or services. This is only one way available to you as an affiliate marketer.
Though it’s true that having your own website can greatly aid you in your quest to achieve success in the online field, a website is necessary to succeed as an affiliate marketer. It is true, you can make a living online as an affiliate even if you do not have your own website!
How is this possible? Read on, friends, as I discuss alternative strategies that will allows you to make the most out of your affiliate marketing campaigns without having your own website on the net. First, what is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a program whereby you the affiliate, earn a generous commission for every successful sale that you refer to the affiliate merchant. Your task is merely to pre-sell the affiliate merchant’s goods. In this example, the website is provided by the merchant not you! The sales page, the payment processing, the digital delivery, and post sales services are all the responsibilities of the affiliate merchant. The merchant gets many more customers than he could attract on his own, and you, as an affiliate, receive a commission for your efforts. Every body wins!
How does it work? As an affiliate you are provided with a unique link to the merchants sales page. Each time someone clicks on your unique link and buys something, the merchant knows that you are now eligible for a commission. Simple right? Ok, your challenge is now to get as many potential customers as possible to click on your link. It should be obvious, that the more places you can display your link, the more chances for customers to click on it, right?
Marketing the affiliate merchant’s goods without the benefit of your own website entails showing your links in ways you might not have considered in the past. Here are some strategies and techniques for you to try:
· Article Marketing. We all know how powerful article marketing is in link building campaigns. But instead of providing for links to your own website, you now provide your affiliate links instead. Article directories provide a resource box for each article submission you make. Not only can you tell your readers about yourself, but they allow you to provide your link as well. If you provide an article with good content, people are more likely to click your link. Now, you have to remember that some article directories do not allow affiliate links in the bodies of the articles themselves, but affiliate links are usually allowed in the resource box. A couple of places to start your article marketing campaign are ezinearticles.com , goarticles.com and isnare.com . The major search engines visit the Article Directories frequently looking for fresh content. Your articles and links will be picked up and spread far and wide!
· Forum marketing. Online communities, or forums, are another great way for you to promote your affiliate links. Membership in forums provides you with a signature box where you can advertise your links. Each time you post to the forum, your signature box with its link appears. If you were to post a thousand messages, you’ll have a thousand pages advertising your affiliate links! When selecting a forum to join, be sure to pick one that is relevant to your affiliate market products. A useful tool for selecting a forum can be found at: link-advantage.com/search to find the appropriate online community.
· Advertise in eZines. This may cost you some money, since many eZines charge for their advertising space. However, you can expose your affiliate links to highly targeted prospects using this approach. Imagine if the eZine has a list of 10,000 people. You’d immediately be able to reach 10,000 quality leads with one advertisement. Again, this can be done without your own website. Simply place your affiliate link in your ads.
Not having your own web site should not be a barrier to keep you from growing a thriving, vibrant Internet Business. By using the methods I have outlined, you will be well on your way to success. Most of the strategies I have discussed with you here can be accomplished without spending a single cent. Joining an affiliate program is free and the rewards can be substantial.
Good luck and good success!

You and RSS
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a tool used to receive updates from websites you frequently visit and enjoy. RSS utilizes a scanning code, which scans continuously for content or subject matter that you are interested in. The information is then transmitted to your PC.
RSS feeds are usually found on blog sites as well as in news provider sites. RSS can however, be used by anybody on any site. If you have updated fresh information, then this is something you need to investigate further. Once the new information is sent to you, it will contain a headline, a little bit of text, and a brief review of the information. To view the entire message you simply click on the link provided.

If you are visiting a website that you want to receive information from in the future, just click the RSS button. In some cases you may have to copy and paste a line of code into your aggregator. The next time news breaks or new content is added to a favorite blog, it is sent directly to you.
If at some point you no longer wish to receive the RSS feed, you can simply disable the aggregator and the updates will stop. There is a great deal of flexibility with this tool.
RSS feeds are often quicker than email and are not subject to the same spamming requirements. The information you are waiting for doesn't end up in the spam folder because you forgot to white list a site you visited. If you require up-to-the-minute information, then RSS is the way to go! RSS feeds are widely used everyday by individuals who understand and appreciate the accessibility of fast reports and news.
Aggregators are popular use of feeds, having several kinds. Web aggregators or portals as they are sometimes called, create this view, which is then made available in a Web page. Also, Aggregators have been incorporated into e-mail patrons, users of desktops, or dedicated and standalone software.

Back To Basics For Affiliate Marketers
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
Do you want to become a successful Affiliate Marketer? Where do you start? How do you make it to the big league? These questions are in the minds of all affiliate marketers who want to make it big in this business.
Affiliate marketing can be one of the easiest and most effective ways to earn money online. The wise affiliate marketer plans every campaign and executes it the best of his ability. You must also maximize your potential to earn by utilizing the right tools. We have consulted some of the most successful affiliate marketers in the business and below are their top three picks of necessary tools for a successful affiliate marketing business.
Important Tool #1: Your Own Website
It is true that you can have some success as an affiliate marketer without your own website, however, the growth and profitability will be severely limited. If at all possible, get your own site. It must look professional and be user friendly. Your site is representing you! Even if you have the best products and services in the world, if your site is sloppy and hard to use, customers won't be back. Therefore, you must first concentrate your efforts on building a website that is the very best you can afford. This will be money well spent!
It is important to remember that most web users go online to look for information, not necessarily to buy something. If you can provide pertinent information as well as relevant products, you will be well on your way to a successful marketing career! People will love articles, pictures, or links that are appealing and helpful. Keep in mind that, on the Internet, content is still king and good quality content will keep your customers coming back over and over again. Fresh content will also result in a higher ranking with the search engines. By posting relevant and useful information, you establish yourself as an expert in the field, and someone to be trusted. By establishing a good reputation you will build a strong customer base.
Tool #2: The Use of Incentives
Competition is extremely fierce in the affiliate marketing world. You must always stay one-step ahead of your competition to ensure that you capture a fare share of your target market. One-way to grab the attention of your site visitors is to offer something for F R E E or at a reduced rate. The purpose of this strategy is to collect the contact information from each visitor who visits your site. These visitors can then be contacted as part of your opt-in email list. The saying goes that "the money is in the list". Building an opt-in email list is one of the best ways to gather prospects. There are any numbers of products available to offer your visitors that will be free to you and yet prove to be help to your customers.
Tool #3: Promote Link Popularity
The importance of attracting highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be over emphasized. Attracting people to your site must be one of your top priorities. Since most people visit the web by using a search engine, it is crucial that your site appear as close to the top of the list as possible. Search engines use various secret formulas to determine page rank, however, it is well known that link popularity plays a major role in this determination. Therefore, to enhance your link popularity, you must launch an aggressive reciprocal link campaign.
One way to do this is to write articles, blog, or submit information to forums. Again, because of the hunger of the search engines for fresh, relevant content you have an opportunity to promote your website. Insert your website's link information in the author resource box for articles or in the body of your blog or profile information. Each time your article is published, you gain greater exposure for your site. The more sites you submit your articles to, the better your link popularity will become. Remember to make your articles original, relevant and fresh so that more websites will pick it up and post it.
If you will master the use of these three strategies, you will have taken some giant strides toward your goal of affiliate marketing dominance! Never stop learning, never give up, and always be willing to adapt to change.

Resale Right Products - How Do You Choose?
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
Resale rights are quite popular these days. They have become great alternatives to actually creating your own products. You won’t have to spend time, money and efforts in preparing some products to sell. And since these resale rights products will be sold to quite a number of people, the cost of purchasing the same can be kept at a minimum.
But not all resale rights products are built alike. Some are simply better than others. When you want to dabble in the potentially rewarding world of resale rights marketing, you have to consider some things in order to secure the best deal for your needs and expectations. Let’s take a look at the factors you have to look out for to guarantee success with resale rights offers.
· Look for products that offer fresh content and offer unrestricted resale rights. There are people who are interested in only producing products. They’d rather leave the marketing aspect of the business to their customers. These people produce products and sell them with resale rights. And since these products are fresh, they will have greater appeal and value in the market place.
· Avoid products that are not relevant. The longer the information has been around, the less value it will have for your potential customers. You want products that are still experiencing good sales on the Internet. If you see similar products for sell, chances are that this product has outlived its ability to produce for you. This type of product might however, be used as a "free gift" to reward people who sign up for your newsletter.
· If at all possible, choose products that are only going to be sold to a limited number of people. Everyone else that buys the same products is now your direct competition! You will probably have to pay more for a restricted product; however, your profit should be higher. Do you want to compete with 20 people or 200? Weigh the pros and cons and then go for it.
· The private label rights products you purchase should be unrestricted. You want a product you can alter and brand, as your own. Why? You may need to alter the product to fit your niche. Private label rights allow you to not only alter the product, but you may want to combine one or more products to develop your own special report or even an eBook.

Resale rights are quite popular these days. They have become great alternatives to actually creating your own products. You won’t have to spend time, money and efforts in preparing some products to sell. And since these resale rights products will be sold to quite a number of people, the cost of purchasing the same can be kept at a minimum.
But not all resale rights products are built alike. Some are simply better than others. When you want to dabble in the potentially rewarding world of resale rights marketing, you have to consider some things in order to secure the best deal for your needs and expectations. Let’s take a look at the factors you have to look out for to guarantee success with resale rights offers.
· Look for products that offer fresh content and offer unrestricted resale rights. There are people who are interested in only producing products. They’d rather leave the marketing aspect of the business to their customers. These people produce products and sell them with resale rights. And since these products are fresh, they will have greater appeal and value in the market place.
· Avoid products that are not relevant. The longer the information has been around, the less value it will have for your potential customers. You want products that are still experiencing good sales on the Internet. If you see similar products for sell, chances are that this product has outlived its ability to produce for you. This type of product might however, be used as a "free gift" to reward people who sign up for your newsletter.
· If at all possible, choose products that are only going to be sold to a limited number of people. Everyone else that buys the same products is now your direct competition! You will probably have to pay more for a restricted product; however, your profit should be higher. Do you want to compete with 20 people or 200? Weigh the pros and cons and then go for it.
· The private label rights products you purchase should be unrestricted. You want a product you can alter and brand, as your own. Why? You may need to alter the product to fit your niche. Private label rights allow you to not only alter the product, but you may want to combine one or more products to develop your own special report or even an eBook. By purchasing two or more similar products with private label rights you can produce a totally new product that is fresh and innovative. Fresh content means greater sales for you!
What is the bottom line? With the right resale rights product, you have the potential to earn a substantial income. It’s just a matter of doing your homework and then finding the most favorable deal for you. If you will implement the strategies we have discussed, you will be well on your way to becoming a successful Internet marketer. Don't be afraid to get out there and find the private label products that are a fit for your niche audience.

It's All In The Name
The number of people using the Internet worldwide is increasing at a staggering rate. More and more of us depend on the World Wide Web to bring us our news, catch up with friends, shop, and find entertainment. One growing segment of Internet users is the work from home small business owner. If you currently have an e-business or are just thinking about it, there is one thing we all have in common: if your customers can't find you, then you are wasting your time and effort.
On the Internet your business address is your Domain Name. This is a unique locator for your business. The address starts with "www" and ends with ". com", ".org", ".gov", ".net", etc.
For businesses the ".com" suffix is the most common and designates a commercial business. With the number of domain addresses expected to reach 500 million over the next 10 years, it will become increasingly more difficult to get the address you need to promote you business. What are we going to do?
Enter Global Domains International Inc. The founders of GDI recognized this growing problem, and came up with a solution. They decided to use ".ws" rather than ".com" as the extension for website domain addresses. This has revolutionized the use of domain names worldwide. It is now possible for those just entering the world of e-business to get the domain name that best suits their business and that will be most recognizable by their potential customers.
To help facilitate the promotion of their domain service, GDI has some very unique and profitable affiliate programs available to their members. It is no wonder that in a very short time GDI has grown to become one of the fastest growing Internet businesses today. With literally hundreds of millions of people globally who are prospects for GDI's services, their future looks rosy indeed!

Private Label Rights - Good or Bad?
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
As an online businessman you need content. Whether it is meant to drive traffic to your website for PPC (pay per click) purposes, or whether you plan on using content to help sell your digital products, you will need content to convey your message to potential customers.
Original content, however, comes at a price. Often, online businessmen have to pay from $5 to $15 for an original 500 word article. A single article does not provide enough content for our purposes. You would need at least 20 articles to start a content site. You need at least 50 articles to combine for an eBook. The cost of this process, and the time required, makes it prohibitive for most businessmen, especially those who are just starting out.
This is one reason why PLR products have become so popular. PLR stands for "private label rights". For a price you can purchase content materials to use as your own. There are varying degrees of restrictions placed on these products, so choose carefully when you buy.
When used correctly, PLR products provide many benefits. Let us take a look at some of them.
Benefits:
· PLR products are relatively inexpensive. Original material takes a good deal of time and effort to develop. Remember you need a quality content product. By purchasing your materials you have more time to devote to you other business needs. Time is money.
· PLR products can also greatly enhance a pay-per-click business. Search engines thrive on content! You will have to rewrite the articles to make them your own. Don't submit duplicated materials. Other people may be using the same PLR product you purchased.
· PLR products are an excellent source of ideas. Use the ideas presented to develop your own fresh content and digital products. Use the PLR as a starting point, not the finish line. Add details and draw on your own experiences to make the content your own. Don't be afraid to personalize the information.
· PLR products allow you to alter the contents as you see fit. You also determine the resale value you will demand for the product. This means that you could combine PLR articles, for example, to come up with your own reports and eBooks. A PLR Book could be separated into various articles or made into an e-Course. You decide!
· PLR products, as mentioned earlier, must be reworked to insure originality. Search engine filtering will detect duplicate works. This can lead to a lower page rank for your website, or worse, a de-indexing for your web pages. This would spell disaster for your web base business! Trust me on this one – you must provide fresh content!
PLR products are a great option, especially for budget-conscious online businessmen who are in need of large amounts of content. By following a few common sense procedures you can take a purchased content product and make it fit your needs and make it an original work at the same time. There are few other methods that will give you the desired results for such a small investment of time and money.

Information Products - Create Your Own!
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
If you have been working with Internet marketing for any length of time, you are aware of the fact that information products are one of the most profitable things that you can sell online. Information products may take the form of eBooks, special reports or articles which you offer for a price.
In theory, preparing information products is quite easy. All you need are three things:
1. Information
2. Writing skills
3. Web page
Information is the motor that drives the World Wide Web. This is why the Internet is called "the information superhighway." If you know how to provide the right kind of information, you can write you own ticket. This is especially true if you manage to find a niche market where you have little or no competition. Just remember that people demand quality content that will answer their questions and meet their needs. Lets look at some of these information products.
An eBook is very similar to a Special Report. The only difference is the length of the product. An eBook is a work with 30 pages or more, while a Special Report has fewer than thirty pages. Obviously an eBook can go into greater detail and cover a wider range of information than the Special Report. Now that we know what it is, how do we come up with the information?
1. First pick a topic from any niche you have an interest in. Look at websites that cover your topic. Read the blogs and bulletin boards. What questions are people asking? If you can answer their questions, you have the topic for your eBook! Your topic will provide the information your niche audience is looking for. For example, if your niche market is fly fishermen, you might provide information on where to get the best supplies, or where the best fishing locations are in your area. The possibilities are limitless.
2. Do your homework! This is very important. Remember what I said about quality? People are willing to pay for good information and that is what they deserve. Provide the best information available, and you will have all the customers you can handle.
3. Third, outline your information. Even good information has to be organized! Using our fishing illustration, you might list the top three fishing sites as the key points of your outline. Under each of these you might add details like best times to fish, available accommodations, distance, fee and regulations, contact information, etc. Fill in your outline with the information you have researched. A word of caution: Do Not Plagiarize!! Respect the work of others. Your eBook must be an original work. If you quote someone, give him or her credit for the information. This will help you avoid some real problems in the future and is the right thing to do!
4. After you finish your outline, you can easily write up the rough draft of your eBook. After you proof-read, make any necessary changes or corrections. Have someone else read you eBook as well. A fresh set of eyes will pick up any mistakes you may have missed. Remember quality is the goal.
5. With your error-free manuscript completed, you now need to come up with an attractive and attention-grabbing eCover. The old saying that you can't judge a book by its cover is FALSE! There are usually many eBooks available on any subject. You want your book to be the one purchased. The book cover must get the attention of the buyer. Choosing the best cover you possibly can will boost your sales dramatically!
6. To make your eBook available to the greatest number of potential customers, you will need to convert your manuscript into pdf format. A wide variety of computer platforms recognize this file type. Instructions on how to do this are readily available if you don't know how to do this yet.
Your information product is now ready to be sold!
If you don't have the necessary writing skills, or you simply don’t have the time required to produce an information product, there is still hope! One way is to use outsourcing. You simply use the services of an outside party to help you prepare the information products you have in mind. Another option is to purchase the private label rights (PLR) for an eBook someone else has already written. Products sold with PLR allow the purchaser to alter the contents of the eBook and even name themselves as the author of the work. This is a common practice in the industry.
As you can see, there is really no reason why you can't be the author of a best selling information product! If your desire is to help people and make money at the same time, then creating information products may be the way for you to go.

Five Ways To Create Content For Your Website
Copyright © Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com
We all know that content is king on the Internet. The maxim has been cited so many times that it has already become a cliché. Well, it has become a cliché because it’s true. The Internet is the information superhighway. The World Wide Web is fueled by information. Users search for it. Web publishers provide it. And when you can provide the information that people want, then you’re in business. Whether your online strategy is based on Pay Per Click (PPC) programs or the sale of digital products, it is quality content that will attract people to your website.
Content is the best investment you can make for your online enterprise. But preparing unique, premium content is often not enough. You must strive to regularly update your content so that the search engine spiders will constantly crawl through your pages. Your search engine placement depends on it! To do it, however, is also very demanding.
Writing good content is tough enough. But to write good content on a regular basis is very difficult. To write quality content, on a regular basis, for several websites is next to impossible. There must be an alternative way to solve this dilemma. There is…
Here are five fantastic alternatives that not a lot of people are using like they should. Knowing these strategies alone, could give you the edge over your competitors in the race for the best search engine positioning.
1. RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is a technology that was first used by online news wire services. RSS allows users to display specific files every time they are uploaded on a source website. If website A, for example, generates RSS feeds to announce new articles uploaded to its server, and websites B, C, D and E are subscribed to website A’s RSS feeds, they can display the same feeds on their desktop via an RSS reader. For online marketing purposes, these RSS feeds can also be displayed on your web pages. All you need is to download some programs that would enable you to do this. Make sure that you get an RSS-to-HTML reader, so that the RSS feeds you display on your pages can be readable by the search engines. Afterwards, all you have to do is to subscribe to an appropriate RSS feed, and every time the source website posts new content, you’ll be able to display the same content on your own website.
2. Create your own forum. Online users normally gravitate towards forums that are dedicated to their own passions. If your website has an attached forum, you will be able to invite your visitors to sign up. They’ll be free to interact with others of similar interest. (Social networking) They’ll create threads about matters they are interested in. They will post messages which will be seen by the search engines as fresh content on you web site. You didn’t have to lift a finger!
3. Use a "feedback manager". If you’re posting articles as content, then you might want to include a feedback section on you page. This will allow your readers to make comments about your article. Basically, your article would serve as the catalyst for content that will continuously be added by interested readers who want to give their opinion about the articles you have posted.
4. Have a contest. Offering a prize for the visitor who submits the most relevant article about the subject of your website. As an example, " I like fly fishing because…".This would encourage a lot of people to submit entries that would provide you with a lot of new content. Just remember that your contest rules should include a requirement that submitted entries may be published on your website.
5. Build an Article Directory. To see what I mean, visit www.ezinearticles.com or www.goarticles.com . See how these websites ensure themselves an abundant supply of great content? Simply follow their model. You will be able to guarantee for yourself a good flow of new content! This is also a great way to generate additional ad income from Google AdSense!
It doesn't matter whether you use one or all of these strategies. Just remember you must do something that will create new quality content for your website in order to succeed with your business. Good Luck!

So You Want To Go To Heaven?
Copyright © Glenn Jones
As life on planet earth seems to be headed the wrong direction at warp speed, a lot of folks are beginning to wonder what is going on. Even the most secular among us can't help but wonder at the state of thing. Everyone senses something big is about to happen. Is this Armageddon? Is life as we know it about to come to an end?
It is during times like these that people begin to contemplate life after death and wonder about their future. Even those among us who claim they don't believe in God, have to be concerned. What if they are wrong? What if there really is a God? What if everything recorded in the bible is true and there really is a heaven and a hell?
The only way to understand what is in store for mankind is to accept the fact that there is a God and as God he alone knows what the future holds. If you are not on speaking terms with him, or don't feel comfortable asking him about your future, not to worry. He has given written instructions to all mankind about his expectations for mankind. Find a copy of the bible and find out for yourself what God has to say about heaven and hell.
Heaven, according to the bible, is a real place where God has chosen to live. Heaven is also the dwelling place of angles and those human beings who have been accepted by God after their deaths here on planet earth. The bible only gives brief glimpses of heaven and what it is like. If you were to try and describe the perfect place to live, you would be describing heaven. The human imagination is not capable of grasping what a wonderful place heaven must be. Imagine for a moment a place where everyone is physically perfect, there are no wars, there is no crime, everything is in perfect order! The greatest benefit to being a resident of heaven however, is to finally be reunited with your creator! No matter what you say, deep down inside you know that there is a God and he is your creator. The quicker you come to acknowledge that the sooner you can begin to take those steps to assure your place in heaven. More about those steps later. What about hell?
Again the only source we can turn to is the bible. What I believe or what you believe is irrelevant. God alone knows if hell exists or not. He says it does. End of conversation. What is hell like? Again, according to the bible it can be determined that hell was created as a place of confinement and punishment for angelic beings who at some point chose to rebel against God. This was prior to the creation of human beings and planet earth. If you were God, would you tolerate rebellion? Of course not! Rebellion must be stopped.
Against this background, God created the planet earth and a new spirit being called man. It was God's intention that this would be the crowning glory of all his creation. A being who would have the right of choice. Man would live in harmony with his creator as steward of planet earth or choose to live in rebellion. Man choose rebellion. It is at this point that man chooses to go to hell. Heaven was no longer an option. Without the intervention of God, mankind was doomed.
God did intervene, and today you have been given back the right to choose. What will you choose: heaven or hell? So you would like to go to heaven? Okay, there is only one way. That is what God said – one way!
The only way to make heaven your future home is to accept the fact that nothing you can do will be enough to erase the fact that you are a rebel. You broke the rules and the punishment for your crime is death. This is the part where it gets exciting. God left heaven, came to planet earth, and died for your rebellion! After he came back to life, you again had a choice. You may accept the fact that he paid the price for you to live in heaven or you may choose to go to hell as a rebel. It is your choice - what are you going to do?
As life on planet earth seems to be headed the wrong direction at warp speed, a lot of folks are beginning to wonder what is going on. Even the most secular among us can't help but wonder at the state of thing. Everyone senses something big is about to happen. Is this Armageddon? Is life as we know it about to come to an end?
It is during times like these that people begin to contemplate life after death and wonder about their future. Even those among us who claim they don't believe in God, have to be concerned. What if they are wrong? What if there really is a God? What if everything recorded in the bible is true and there really is a heaven and a hell?
The only way to understand what is in store for mankind is to accept the fact that there is a God and as God he alone knows what the future holds. If you are not on speaking terms with him, or don't feel comfortable asking him about your future, not to worry. He has given written instructions to all mankind about his expectations for mankind. Find a copy of the bible and find out for yourself what God has to say about heaven and hell.
Heaven, according to the bible, is a real place where God has chosen to live. Heaven is also the dwelling place of angles and those human beings who have been accepted by God after their deaths here on planet earth. The bible only gives brief glimpses of heaven and what it is like. If you were to try and describe the perfect place to live, you would be describing heaven. The human imagination is not capable of grasping what a wonderful place heaven must be. Imagine for a moment a place where everyone is physically perfect, there are no wars, there is no crime, everything is in perfect order! The greatest benefit to being a resident of heaven however, is to finally be reunited with your creator! No matter what you say, deep down inside you know that there is a God and he is your creator. The quicker you come to acknowledge that the sooner you can begin to take those steps to assure your place in heaven. More about those steps later. What about hell?
Again the only source we can turn to is the bible. What I believe or what you believe is irrelevant. God alone knows if hell exists or not. He says it does. End of conversation. What is hell like? Again, according to the bible it can be determined that hell was created as a place of confinement and punishment for angelic beings who at some point chose to rebel against God. This was prior to the creation of human beings and planet earth. If you were God, would you tolerate rebellion? Of course not! Rebellion must be stopped.
Against this background, God created the planet earth and a new spirit being called man. It was God's intention that this would be the crowning glory of all his creation. A being who would have the right of choice. Man would live in harmony with his creator as steward of planet earth or choose to live in rebellion. Man choose rebellion. It is at this point that man chooses to go to hell. Heaven was no longer an option. Without the intervention of God, mankind was doomed.
God did intervene, and today you have been given back the right to choose. What will you choose: heaven or hell? So you would like to go to heaven? Okay, there is only one way. That is what God said – one way!
The only way to make heaven your future home is to accept the fact that nothing you can do will be enough to erase the fact that you are a rebel. You broke the rules and the punishment for your crime is death. This is the part where it gets exciting. God left heaven, came to planet earth, and died for your rebellion! After he came back to life, you again had a choice. You may accept the fact that he paid the price for you to live in heaven or you may choose to go to hell as a rebel. It is your choice - what are you going to do?
