The most prominent of these, the 1804 Silver Dollar, is known as the King of Coins. Only 15 examples exist today, and it is considered a very beautiful coin as well. There are few coins as rare that are also as popular, and that combined with the fact that most of the surviving specimens are in very good condition makes them probably the most desirable coin in the world.

The 1907 ultra-high relief $20 gold piece is considered by many to be the most beautiful coin ever made. It was designed by sculptor Augustus St. Gaudens, and the ultra-high relief prototype coins produced in 1907 are extremely scarce and also the most beautiful of the series.

There are two coins on that are extremely rare, which is the primary reason for their great value. But both of these coins have a bit of an interesting history, both cloaked in scandal and suspicion.

The 1913 Liberty Nickel is one of the most famous coins in the world, thanks to its extreme rarity and a devoted publicity campaign by one of the industry's great marketers, B. Max Mehl. It is believed the five coins were produced illegally, in secret, and unusually for such a coin, the government has made no attempt to confiscate these rare coins.

By contrast, the 1933 $20 gold piece, which currently holds the record for highest price paid at auction, is a coin that has been vigilantly hunted down and confiscated by the FBI. The lone piece that tops this chart is the sole example allowed to exist by the government, as the rest were ordered to be melted down by FDR in 1933. According to government records, none survived, and as this is the official position, the Treasury enforces it.

The sole example that is safe survived by virtue of the fact that during its time as a fugitive, it was given as a gift to King Farouk of Egypt, an avid collector. Since its return to the world in the wake of Farouk's death, the US government has maintained the position that that coin alone is legitimate, as it was a possession of foreign royalty as a gift from the US. The spectacular sum commanded by this coin is due in part to its mysterious and intriguing history and the likelihood that it will remain unique.

The 1917 Type One Standing Liberty Quarter is one of the truly beautiful U.S. coin types, it was made for only two years. The exposed breast of Ms. Liberty caused such uproar that they radically changed the design halfway through 1917. Since the 1916 is a five-figure rarity, this coin is effectively a one-year-only type coin. It makes the rare coin price list thanks to its collective beauty, popularity, importance and rare top condition.

From 1795 to 1834, the U.S. minted $2.50, $5, and $10 gold coins. In 1834, the gold content of our coins was lowered slightly and most pre-1835 gold coins hit the melting pot. Today, these early treasures of American financial history are rare in all grades and super rare in Gem condition.

Today the Mint strikes millions of proof coins a year and sells them to collectors all over the world. In the 19th Century, the Mint struck a few thousand proof coins each year and only a handful of proof gold coins. Proof gold coins are the caviar of the numismatic marketplace… the beachfront property of rare coins. They are expensive, but they are super rare and demand is always sky high in both good and bad markets.

Barber Half Dollars were minted between 1892 and 1915. They are one of the coin market‘s most important issues. They are collected both by date and by ?type? collectors. They are the rarest of the 20th Century sliver type issues. They are beautiful and important rare coins, and both Gem quality circulation strikes and proofs are wonderful.

Twenty-Cent Pieces were odd coins made for just fo ur years – 1875 through 1878. The coin looked too much like a quarter to catch on with the public and there really wasn‘t a commercial need for the denomination. Today, twenty-cent pieces are highly prized collector‘s items. The design is the beautiful Liberty Seated type and all twenty-cent pieces are rare in top condition.

Coin collecting is a satisfying hobby for many adults. But what about getting children into coin collecting? This is a tremendous opportunity for you to open a whole new world to a child. There are a multitude of educational opportunities available for kids in the world of coin collecting.

Chapter 12 - Keep the Momentum Going

Do you truly want to dominate the web? Do you want to be able to sell more of your product through clever marketing? If so, you have to be prepared to keep the momentum going.

You do not want your website to get stale, you have to keep revising it all of the time. If you have a website that is “Heartbreak Breakup” you might be first on the search engines until other, fresher articles and sites that are more updated start taking your place. You need to keep the momentum going in order to continue to remain at the top of the search engines.

The way to do this is to constantly have more content on your website. You should update your content with search engine optimized keywords as often as possible so that you can continue to rank high in the search engines. By creating activity on your website, you are creating a buzz and making your site appear more active to the search engines that will keep it up on top.

One thing to understand here is that the search engines are not people. They are robots. They are mechanically motivated and have no human feelings. Manipulating them will not hurt their feelings because they have no feelings. Because they are not human.

If you want to make money on the internet by selling a book, you need to do all that you can to make sure that as many people as possible have the opportunity to know about your e-book. You need to keep the momentum going so that you are placed as prominently as possible in the search engines. There is no softer way to say this. An e-book is one of the best items that you can sell on the internet but competition is stiff. You are not the only one who is marketing a product of your nature. And no matter how innovative your e-book is, no matter how well written - it simply won’t sell if people don’t know about it.

The more you write and post articles on your website, the more that gets picked up in the search engines. And the better your chances are of being picked up on the first two pages in the search engines. Manipulating the search engines is done by using keywords and the appearance of an active website. This is not illegal, harmful or immoral. It is simply a marketing strategy in order to sell your e-book.

Marketing is a science. The principals of marketing have held up over centuries. Marketing strategies such as saying that something is marked 50 percent off when you raised the price a week ago are as old as the hills. As people have become more sophisticated, so have the techniques. But the basic principals are the same.

You need to do whatever you can to market your product. This is not tricky, but just good salesmanship. It would be wrong if you took money for the product and did not deliver. If you truly have a good product, and you should before you even think about marketing, that gives a lot of concise information and is not filled with a lot of fluff, you should want to get the word out there as much as possible. This involves using every marketing strategy available to you on the internet. Especially the free ones such as forum posts, blogs and posting articles.

Marketing is the process of using your limited resources to achieve sales in a competitive environment. In order to succeed, you have to have a dominance strategy in the marketing world, you have to have an aggressive game plan.

Keep the momentum going once you get started and continue to post blogs, articles and update your website so that you can remain high in the search engines. If you want too sell your e-book, you can do so if you understand basic marketing principals as they apply to the internet and are not afraid to use them.

Baby Noises – Language Development

From birth to one year your baby will go from crying to cooing to talking. Those are amazing milestones for your baby to accomplishment in such a short period of time as he develops his speech and language skills. This chapter takes a look at your baby’s vocal development for the first year and tells you just what you can expect to see each month. Keep in mind that these stages of your baby’s development are broad and that no baby will fall exactly within the timeframe of these expected milestones.

One month. Your baby will understand speech long before he begins to speak. From birth he will look at your face and listen to your voice. He will make a small range of noises that will start to mean something to you, such as his way of exhibiting hunger or pain. These noises will include crying and certain sounds that your baby makes while he is breathing. When your baby is feeding he will make sucking noises and sound of contentment.

Your baby’s cry is an important way for him to communicate. Crying lays the foundation for speech as your baby learns to control the air that comes from his lungs and learns how to use his vocal cords. Crying is your baby’s way of telling you that he is hungry, upset, or cold. By listening carefully to your baby and responding to his cries you are letting him know that he is important. This is how your baby first learns to communicate with you.

Two months. Your two-month old baby is starting to pay more and more attention to his world. He will be fascinated by the sound of your voice and will follow it around the room with great concentration. The different tones of you voice will keep him interested for short periods of time. Your baby will respond with a variety of cooing sounds, vowel-like sounds, and sometimes some consonant sounds such as a “k”. You will find that your baby has quite a collection of cooing sounds that she uses to communicate with you as well as discover how to use the sound of her own voice.

Talk to your baby as much as possible to encourage her cooing response. Look directly into your baby’s eyes to show that you are listening. This helps to establish signals of communication between the two of you.

Three months. Your baby will recognize your voice and will turn towards you when he hears you talking. He will be starting to laugh out loud and will often startle himself until he learns that he is the one making the sound. Your baby will be making sounds such as “ahhhh gooo”. He will squeal when he is happy and content, again often startling himself as he learns his own abilities.

Continue to talk to your baby as much as possible, as well as sing to him and read him stories. The more you communicate with him and let him know that you are listening the more he will attempt to communicate with you.

Four months. Your baby is learning more and more ways to communicate with you. He will be smiling spontaneously at everything around him. His soft babbling will have an almost singsong sound to it, often ranging into a high pitch that delights him as he learns to like the sound of his own voice. There will be lots of repetition to the sounds that your baby makes.

Make sure that you respond to your baby’s “oohs” and “ahhs” with your own voice tones. This is your “chat time” with your baby and you should take advantage of these chatty times as he learns what conversation is all about. Your baby may also be starting to let you know when he’s not in the mood for talking with you. He will turn his head in the other direction and may put his arm over his face. He may be showing signs of anger or frustration by crying out, especially if something is taken away from him.

Five months. Your baby is becoming better at communicating. He may start to mimic sounds and gestures which allows him to express his needs. He’ll be able to let you know if he’s happy or sad. When your baby wants attention he’ll start to babble until you respond to him. If you respond to his cooing, laughing sounds he’ll repeat his noises often because he knows that he can get your attention this way.

Your baby will now be watching your mouth when you talk. If you talk to him from across the room he’ll be able to locate you easily. He is learning to control his vocal sounds as watches your response to his sounds.

You will notice this whole process involves me trying to get you to sell my eBooks with resale rights. The reason being is as you sell my eBooks you advertise my services. In fact one customer could generate me 100s of leads as they distribute my eBooks. Just remember where this all started, back at the 20 cent eBay auction.

So you need to try and turn your buyers into sellers and you do this by including everything they need to sell your eBooks and more. Make sure a well written sales page is included and that you include at least one eBook cover. Better still; allow others to brand your eBooks with their affiliate links as this will give them more incentive to sell your eBook.

What is a brandable eBook?

Brandable eBooks are fantastic. For resellers they offer a means of generating an affiliate income as you are allowed to ‘brand’ certain links within the eBook. This is usually an affiliate link to one or more of the author’s products and can also be a link to your website.

As an author it also gives you a chance to make your eBooks more appealing to your resellers as they know they have a chance of making further income after the initial sale of your eBook. As an eBay eBook seller I am always on the lookout for brandable eBooks I can sell as I know after the eBook has been sold it can go viral with my affiliate links embedded.

So how do I make an eBook of my own brandable?

If you do offer ‘branding’ rights you have 2 choices, you can manually change the brandable links in your eBook, this means waiting for an email with your customer’s details, manually adding the links and sending the branded version back to your customer. Or you could get some software to perform the task instantly on autopilot. I use Viral PDF, it is easy to use and once your eBook is set up it runs on autopilot.

What links should I allow other users to brand?

This is entirely up to you but try to put yourself in your reseller’s shoes, what links would you like to brand yourself? If you have your own affiliate program these are the best links to allow someone to brand as your reseller is effectively making money from your product. It's a win win situation for everyone.

If you don’t have your own affiliate program and have your own products you should consider starting with ClickBank. There you can add your own products and instantly have your product advertised in front of 1000s of affiliates looking to promote products.

Remember, all of this cost’s very little so the risks are low; you really have no excuse for not creating your own products, with so much private label material about these days it has never been easier to create your own eBooks.

Before you say you can’t build web pages, let me tell you two things. First, if you say you can’t, you can’t, if you say you can you can. Put your mind to it and do it. Second, being able to build a web site or at least be able to edit a web page template is vital to your business. Unless you have the money to pay someone else (which like I said is VERY expensive), you’ll never get ahead.

Okay, so what are we going to put on our product promotion site, and what is its function.

Your product promotion site will include every product and/or service you offer that can be promoted by your affiliates. It will be used as a home base for your affiliates where they can see what products you are offering for promotion, what you pay for sales generated by affiliates for your products and/or services, where your affiliates can get all their promotional materials for your products and/or services, and training materials.

Yes, this is a lot, but remember how much affiliates have made me? Being that successful takes time and work. If you aren’t willing to put time and work into this, you’ll never succeed with it.

Now that you know how to create coupons for offline marketing, let’s talk about where you can advertise your coupons offline.

The most important thing to remember about advertising either online or offline is you need to advertise to your target market. So, when looking for places to advertise your offline coupon, only advertise in places that you target market looks in.

If you are advertising your coupon on car detailing, you don’t want to advertise it in the personal ads section of your newspaper, you want to advertise it the Auto section of your paper.

If you are advertising your ebook on how to make money, you don’t want to advertise it in a magazine about remodeling. You’d want to find a magazine that was geared towards opportunity seekers, or home based business enthusiasts.

Finding targeted advertising is much easier offline than online in my opinion. It’s not instantaneous like online advertising, but I think you can reach your market with it much better.

The best places to advertise offline are in print publications. Putting a coupon in a print publication is one of the best ways to spend your offline advertising dollars. Find a print publication that fits your target market, place your coupon ad in that publication, and I am sure you will be pleased with the results.

Another way I have used print coupons is by mailing them to my mailing list. Let me explain exactly how I do this.

Online I have a customer mailing list. When they buy something from me, they supply their mailing address. Instead of emailing them my offer, I simply make the coupons like I did in the video above, print them out and mail the coupons to their home address.

Now I DO NOT suggest that you just send one little coupon out in an envelope. That’s a waste of advertising space. You could also make a full-page ad for other things you are offering. Print it out and also include it in the envelope with their coupon.

I’ve been doing this exact same thing since 1998, and believe me if it didn’t make me a lot of money, I wouldn’t waste my time.

Again, these are just a few ways you can offer your coupons offline. I’m sure you’ll get more and more ideas once you start using your coupons offline.

Creating coupons for your online promotions will take a little bit of technical skills, but don’t let that scare you. To do the basics (which is all most people need) won’t take much at all.

In the next section I am going to give you two places you can advertise your coupons online right now for free. I first want to cover some other ways you can advertise your coupons online first.

You can place an image of your coupon on your site, and let people know that by purchasing today or for the next X amount of days, they will get a discount. When they click on the coupon, they are taken to your special discount page where they can purchase what you are offering at the special coupon price.

(If you need someone to design an eye catching coupon for you, I suggest you contact my friend, Dima at nitrocovers@hotmail. Dima owns NitroCovers and is an EXCEPTIONAL graphics designed. He also charges about 70% less than what most designers charge. He can make a GORGEOUS coupon that will catch the attention of all your visitors. Just tell him Liz Tomey sent you.)

Advertise your coupon in your email signature line or signature line you use in forums.

Now this is a top secret advertising technique that is getting ready to storm the Internet. Say goodbye to expensive pay-per-click services. You can now advertise in laser targeted information products by going to ViralEbookAds

This site will allow you to pick your target market from a list that they have. Find a product that matches your target market, place your coupon in that product and you will have unlimited lifetime exposure to your target market. How does it work? Well, you can visit ViralEbookAds, and see, but it’s really simple.

Different information products are developed at this site on several different topics. Webmasters and ezine owners give away or sell these products to people who are interested in these topics. Inside the products are ads that are viewed by everyone who downloads and uses/reads the products. Therefore the ads inside are being seen by 1000’s of different people who are interested in that topic.

Can you find advertising that is that laser targeted anywhere else online? Yes, but not at the low prices ViralEbookAds charges!

I know I just got done “bashing” pay per click advertising, but if you are really good at it, you can make a lot of money from using it. I have used pay per click advertising to advertise my coupons, and I’ve done better advertising them than anything else I have advertised. However, I didn’t get the HUGE results I expected. Again, if you really know how to use pay per click advertising well, I recommend using it to advertise your coupons. If not, then I suggest staying away from it.

While compiling this course, a man named Craig Axiaq contacted me. I knew that using coupons was a very powerful technique, but new that I would really open people’s eyes with this course.

What’s your take on unfashionable investments? Investments and markets that are so hated that they are rarely talked about – that have little or no mention in the financial media and near the bottom of their trend graphs…?

I like them…sometimes. They are the ones with ten bagger potential – gains of 1000% and more within a reasonable space of time. I say “sometimes” because all too often, investments are hated due to good reason – there’s a lot of wisdom in the price of any given market.

But the market does get it wrong sometimes. At any given time there are investments that should be far higher than their market price – a correction will happen at some time and that’s why I love looking at hated investments. Listing them. Waiting for the tide to turn. And getting in well before the crowd when the indicators are right.

That’s exactly why the commodities market has been on my radar for some time now – here’s a terrible performer that has performed sickly over the past two decades - adjusted for inflation the value of commodities investments during this period has declined significantly. And let me ask you something – aside from small pockets (such as gold & oil) how much attention do you see general commodities getting? Do you see books about them when you peruse the investment section at your local bookshop? Do you hear your friends boasting about their most recent commodities investment? No – because at the moment, despite the fact that prices are now moving north with some conviction, commodities are still unloved…and if as I believe they will continue to rise, this could be the start of a longer term commodities bull run and a very good time to invest.

Did you know that commodities prices have been heading upwards, almost un-noticed for some time now? Coffee, copper, wood and sugar are just a handful of the commodities that have enjoyed between 40% to 80% price growth per year in recent times. The exciting thing is that this could be just the start of a long commodities bull run – and when you think that the majority of the investment world still avoids commodities like the plague, there could be exciting times when the world finally wakes up to smell the coffee…quite literally.
