"My Personal Story" ...
How I Overcame The Stubborn Internet Challenges...

I'm presently the Chairman of VON Cooperative Society...and help to grow members' income.

I'm by no means an Internet guru neither do I claim to be an online expert... I'm just a one-man biz like you using the Net to earn addition income through the use of proven tools and resources...

In The Beginning ...Hopes Were High!

When I started out in the Internet in December 2003, I thought it was a platform for jamboree -- where I could easily make a million dollars overnight...

As someone coming from a poor background, I'd always wanted to be rich and saw the Net as a short-cut. A level playing ground for 'fast' people and an opportunity for easy money.

With high hopes, I took my turn... and as a newbie, I was taken by "their" hypes -- the online gurus' secrets of making quick money... then, it started...

• "Earn $10,000 Weekly For Life"
• "Make $100K In Two Months Using XYZ Power Software"
• "Discover How I Made Six Digits Income Using Ultimate Cash Generator... Guaranteed"!
• "10 Great Ways To Earn $1Million In 9Months – Free Tutorial!"
• "Turn $10 To $50,000 In 12Months! No Selling, No Marketing, No Calling"
• "Make $150,000 in Just 90 Days!!!"
• "Turn Your $50 Investment Into $100,000 In One Year Using The Secret Of Forex... I'll teach You for FREE!"...

They were everywhere on the Net...

...And The Great Baits

Everywhere I looked, there was one beckoning ... "Come and Get Rich Quick Here"!

It was overwhelming... they looked good, sounded easy and compelling... I was simply 'sold'...

How could I not be sold?... for someone from a third world country where poverty was almost a second nature: how could I not be sold?... and remember, that any opportunity that promises to give me a return of $500/month was an answered prayer and when converted into my local currency... it becomes baskets load of money.

So, you could now imagine the expectation of earning $10,000/month... total freedom...

That was why, in my mind's eyes I saw liberation: loosened bondage..."financial freedom at last". I said to myself aloud!.

Out of my better judgment -- I wondered if I ever had any judgment at the time: Anyway, I joined the bandwagon of the "future online millionaires"...and that was how the journey began...

"Our greatest WEAKNESS lies in giving up. The most certain way to SUCCEED is always to try just ONE more time."
...Thomas Edison

Did The Money Cometh?...

Was I in love with the Net?... I think overwhelmed... no, flabbergasted was a better word.

I became so engrossed with this new found 'love'... remember the old saying... "where a man's heart is, there lies his treasure".

Yes, I put all my heart in this. And because of my heightened activities on the Net, she took notice... but I kept it a secret from her.

All I wanted to do was to surprise her with a new SUV car before the summer of 2004 to prove a point. She had already developed a "thick" skin to my 'sermons' of hitting it big very soon...

Meanwhile, I couldn't contain my excitement -- and had to let the cat out of the bag by telling my wife about my new business... this time, I told her it was on the Internet... all she did in response was to chuckle and wish me luck.

Although, she did not show her excitement, but I knew it got across: because whenever I woke early in the morning to ease myself, I could hear her humming to some melodious gospel music while she cooked breakfast which was quite unusual... and from my point of view, I saw it as a sign of great expectation that her tomorrow will be better.

Now, let's return to my surprise of a new SUV car...

Did I surprise her with the new car? ...

I'll answer you that question in a moment, just read on ...

In the meantime, I bought products upon products, spent endless nights burning the midnight candles figuring out how to hit the 'instant' jackpot.

I waited for the 'rain' to fall. But it didn't.

I felt the problem was with ME -- that I was too much in a hurry and wasn't following instructions very closely. The more products I bought, the more it seemed I was playing roulette in a casino in Caesar's Palace at Las Vegas -- gambling.

But I Didn't Relent...

I continued because I didn't see anything wrong. You know all those "power of positive thinking" stuff...

At that time, I didn't know I was busy pouring water into empty basket. Instead of seeing my investment grow, I was rather loosing the meagre money I had saved for "donkey" years of deprivation...I saw all go into the drains...

...a case of "a dog that wants to die and refuses to listen to its master's whistle".

I pursued this project with all my vigor, my strength, money and passion... and it came to naught. Honestly, it was a trying period for me... I had even gone borrowing. And you know what that meant -- stress.

Daily survival became very tight and in its trail brought frustration...

As a matter of fact, what kept me going was the knowledge that other people were actually earning money from the Net...

"But how?" I wondered aloud to myself.

...Then, The Painful Discovery That Removed The 'Blindfold'

I had lost the equivalent of my annual salary, when it dawned on me... that those hypes were all lies upon lies...

It was hard to believe, but true. It then dawned on me that... all those "Get-Rich-Quick Online Schemes" were fraud.

Please, permit me to digress a little:

I've just read a book "The Power of Positive Thinking" authored by one of the greatest authors I've ever come across, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. And was basking in the euphoria of positive 'shots' believing that it was only but a matter of time to hit it 'big'.

So, I held tenaciously to my positive feelings believing that my breakthrough was very near...

All the while, results failed to come which jolted me out of my reveries of get-rich-quick syndrome. It dawned on me -- there was no quick, easy or fast money online.

You either worked hard with true and tested methods to succeed or cut corners to fail. Surprisingly, I discovered that it took equal energy to achieve success as with failure on the Net.

"Nothing in this world is so POWERFUL as an idea whose time has COME."...Victor Hugo

Looking back today on my initial 'sojourn' on the Internet, I realized I wasn't adequately prepared.

My foundation was very weak. In short, I did everything wrong from inception ...

First and foremost, I entered the Net with an erroneous mentality. I saw it as a platform to pick up easy money without effort.

Then, the second problem, two in fact: the 1^st was that I was carried away by those 'hypes'. I didn't know there were secrets and procedures to online success.

And at that time, I was sort of 'inexperienced'. Otherwise, how could I not have seen the hand writing on the wall...

The 2^nd was that I thought I could 'brave' it all alone without a 'teacher' and in the process had my hands dipped in so many 'pies' at the same time.

I became a "jack of all trades and master of none". Just like a sheep without a shepherd.

And, the result? Lost money. Divided attention. Lost hope!

But some how, I kept believing there must surely be a way. And don't forget that I did not abandone my prayer life. I prayed fervently...

I cannot particularly pin the time, but gradually, things started getting better...

And Gradually...The Light Shineth!

After so many disappointments, I decided to get to the bottom of my fascination with get-rich-quick programs. Surprisingly, I discovered that 99% of them were total fraud.

That was the turning point...

I did my home works, researched whatever program, asked question when necessary and if still in doubt, I abandon the program and move ahead.

For many people, those initial setbacks would've discouraged them to abandon the Net, but for me, they were temporary failures, and I refused to give up my dreams. Deep down in my heart, I knew I wasn't doing some certain things right and made up my mind to find the correct 'way'.

Then...

...Eureka At Last!

Sometimes, God's blessings can disguise as an obstacle to your breakthrough... The good news was that my blessing wasn't far fetched.

Somehow I found the 'keys' that opened the doors and in the process stumbled on a teacher who helped to remove the 'blindfold' from my eyes.

He changed my course and showed me the correct ways to achieve true wealth on the Internet.

But, there's more ...

Was it providence that brought us together? Or mere stroke of luck? Or hard work in the right direction? Only time will tell.

All I remembered was that I found him. The night I found him, I couldn't sleep. He refused to let me sleep -- I remained wide awake all night savoring one of his gifts...

My spirit was rekindled and my hope soared. I knew this time around 'pay day' was for real.

Genuine success beckons at last!

Did I hear you say 'Eureka at last'!?

I've always wondered where that gift was when I began my ultimate search for easy money on the Net.

"And The Master Finally Appeared"

The saying that "when the student is ready, the master would appear"...applied to me here.

Yes, the Master -- Dr. Ken Evoy...finally appeared.

Through one of his e-books -- A small FREE e-book Make Your Content PREsell! (Opens in another browser)...

Make Your Content PREsell!... was the turning point. Great ideas and exciting tips. In a subtle way it exposed the secrets of the Net... and shows you all your need to do to reach your goals and make money on the Net...

On that premise, I've decided to compile these my invaluable Internet experiences to serve as your compendium of useful information under one roof ...Extra-Income-On-The-Net.Com website...

My Final words...

Always, trust your guts! and believe in yourself...

In life no one is ever going to know more about what is perfect for you than you are. Never take just one expert's opinion when making an important descision especially when it comes to money matters.

You should consider to listen to both sides out of every situation, to enable you make informed decisions...

And remember that, whatever you believe is more likely to be the best choice for you...

Why?...

Because you are the best person to know what that would be. Need I say it again?...Yes, JUST TRUST YOUR GUTS. period!

Phew! Now, we are here, let's return back to PAUL!

I've been married since the past 15 years to my beautiful wife, Lilian and we're blessed with four adorable God fearing children...

Please, see our family pix on the right...(Seated are myself, Ann and Lilian, my hearthrob...Standing from right is Alban, Paula and Emmanuela)... these people are my 'stronghold'.

They were there for me to lean on, especially Lilian, Paula and Emmanuela when the going was tough...

Naturally, no matter how much you have in your bank account, you'll always wish for more...

But for now, I'm no more on the 'ground floor' and I say "to GOD be the Glory"...

Wishing you Good luck in your 'sojour' too...

Thanks.

PAUL

PS:

Let me answer the question of the SUV new car: I didn't buy her the car. It was almost by the grace of God that she did not leave ME at that time...

For now, I've bought a car of her choice...

And I say "to God be the glory"...
