At the start of his book, Hill described how he was careful not to actually come right out with his secret. He told the reader that he was very careful to hide the secret and to include it at least once in each and every chapter of &lt;I&gt;THINK AND GROW RICH&lt;/I&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_and_Grow_Rich" TITLE="on WIKIPEDIA" TARGET="_blank"&gt;THINK AND GROW RICH&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/CENTER&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you haven't read this book, you truly should. You can find it all over the web for free, and it is definitely worth the short time it will take you to read it. And when you do, you might not yet be ready for his secret of success. If this is the case, as it was with me and millions of other readers, and you would still like to know exactly what Hill meant, then don't be concerned. For I have finally figured out what Hill's huge secret to success actually is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Others will tell you that they know the secret. I have read their books and ebooks that might cost you anywhere from $2.00 to $27.95. And I found that they really don't have a clue about Hill's secret. They THINK they know the secret, but they aren't even close to the solution of this great puzzle. It really doesn't take an entire book to find out what Hill's secret is. I won't do what others have done and encircle the big secret by so many words and phrases just to sell an expensive book. It doesn't take all that to tell you what Hill's secret is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;All it takes is one short, brief email that takes just seconds to read. And I will send that email to you for just one dollar (USD). Here's what you will receive: You'll get my very brief text file (.txt) through the email (so be sure to include your email address with the dollar) titled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS &lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;and inside these few short phrases, you will finally get to know the great secret that Napoleon Hill wrote about in &lt;I&gt;THINK AND GROW RICH&lt;/I&gt;. Also, send in that dollar today and you will receive the copyright to my email at no additional cost! Let's get the secret out to people! Thank you very much for listening, and I wish the best of everything to you and yours! Send one dollar and your EMAIL ADDRESS to: &lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS&lt;br /&gt;PO Box 152073 &lt;br /&gt;Tampa, Florida 33684-2073&lt;br /&gt;USA&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;B&gt;PS.&lt;/B&gt; This is just to remind you that this may not be an easy secret for you to hear. It involves a mental block that we all bring with us from babyhood. So get set to hear the real secret why wealth and riches have not yet come within your grasp! &lt;p&gt;&lt;B&gt;PPS.&lt;/B&gt; The knowledge you will receive, the huge secret that Napoleon Hill was actually very careful NOT to make obvious, is what has been called "Dangerous Knowledge" by people who are much smarter than I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...So I ask you to be very careful with this secret knowledge. And especially, be extremely &lt;B&gt;aware&lt;/B&gt; and careful how you apply this wisdom. You seek and you will receive satisfaction; you will see, however, that this most powerful secret of Napoleon Hill's is a potentially dangerous knowledge if put in the wrong hands. I believe with all my heart that the reason you have made it to this place, the reason you have these words in front of you right now, is because you do have the right hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are an amazing being! We are ALL amazing beings. You are much more amazing than you give yourself credit for. So send away now for Hill's Secret! Use the Secret!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/946180402238153748-9044053467230368452?l=garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com/feeds/9044053467230368452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=946180402238153748&amp;postID=9044053467230368452' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/946180402238153748/posts/default/9044053467230368452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/946180402238153748/posts/default/9044053467230368452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com/2009/06/free-report-secret-to-your-success.html' title=''/><author><name>Scott Ley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03679267532427508352</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_TqmlIBBLIkk/SBXBWAa54kI/AAAAAAAAABA/4S6OnWOC1Kk/S220/applesnake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946180402238153748.post-524488718988271153</id><published>2009-01-09T06:49:00.007-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T13:46:13.339-04:00</updated><title type='text'>"Driving" Traffic To Your Website - More</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Hello, eBook &amp;amp; tree lovers! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;This is more on my original post by the same name. Remember I said for you to picture in your mind that your website is a "star"? And how you must find ways to go out and get people to come and see your "star" website? And maybe you've done that. Maybe you have gone out and connected with people, and you've been able to get some of them to click on your link and to view your website. That's really great! So now what? What do you do now? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;You went out, and like a modern version of "Wagon Train", you guided all these wonderful people to your "star", to your website. And whatever it is you're "selling", the next step is to get these "prospects" to buy. Maybe you're "selling" an idea, a political idea or an idea for a "better mousetrap". You might not be asking people for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;money, but just offering them information. Or maybe you have a book that you want people to read. Whatever it is that you want people to see, you've done that. They visited your "star" website. But there are "billions and billions" of stars out there. How do you get these people to remember YOUR STAR? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Ask yourself: What is it about my website that helps people to remember it? What is most memorable about my "star"? And then ask yourself, and be honest with yourself: How can I make my star &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;even easier to remember? How can I make my "star" even more memorable? This may take some thought, some concentration, focus. You'll want to take some relaxing time... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://secretsgolden.home.att.net/relaxing.html"&gt;http://secretsgolden.home.att.net/relaxing.html&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Sit back in a comfy chair, take three or four deeep breaths, and relax. Clear your mind and focus on the above questions. How to turn "prospects" into "buyers"? How to get the people who come to your star website to warm themselves by the bright light from your star? Think of ways you can make your star even brighter and warmer for people. Don't make excuses about this. Take the time you need to do this, and then see what happens! Expect to surprise &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;yourself. Keep picturing in your mind these people becoming warmed by your bright star! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Scott Ley &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://secretsgolden.com/"&gt;SecretsGolden.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;scotty @ secretsgolden.com &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/946180402238153748-524488718988271153?l=garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://secretsgolden.home.att.net/yummycake/' title='&quot;Driving&quot; Traffic To Your Website - More'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com/feeds/524488718988271153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=946180402238153748&amp;postID=524488718988271153' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/946180402238153748/posts/default/524488718988271153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/946180402238153748/posts/default/524488718988271153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com/2009/01/driving-traffic-to-your-website-more.html' title='&quot;Driving&quot; Traffic To Your Website - More'/><author><name>Scott Ley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03679267532427508352</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_TqmlIBBLIkk/SBXBWAa54kI/AAAAAAAAABA/4S6OnWOC1Kk/S220/applesnake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946180402238153748.post-5900373958930942676</id><published>2008-04-28T10:10:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T13:43:42.149-04:00</updated><title type='text'>"Driving" Traffic To Your Site</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;People on the Internet are explorers! They want to go here, they want to go there. They want to check out everything! New internet explorers soon find ways to do this. They discover search engines. They find pages that are members of web rings. They continue to explore the subjects that interest them, and they look for other things that might be interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're like I am, then you're still on a learning trip when it comes to driving traffic to your website. I'm to the point where I think about this all the time. Traffic, numbers of people visiting your website, is crucial to getting all those neat things on your website seen, getting your unique and important ideas across, doing whatever it is you want to do with that beautiful, awesome website of yours!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's how I like to picture it... A website is like a star. And like a star there are many "planets" in orbit around it. One planet might be a particular political or religious viewpoint you express on your website. Another planet would be the neat and professional advertisements you use to help promote your website. All these planets orbiting your star website. To you, it's right there in front of you everyday. To most everyone else, it's "out there somewhere".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it's your job (nobody's going to do it for you) to drive traffic to your website. You might close your eyes and see this as an ultra-modern kind of "wagon train". There you are out in space. You've headed out to find people who are interested in the same stuff you are (or people whom you might be able to spark their interest). Your space tour bus is loaded with these people, and there are many other explorers in their own ships behind you, following you to your "star".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when you get there, when you and your "space train" arrive at your star... SUCCESS! If you keep visualizing this, either the way I've just shown you, or another way that you create for yourself, if you keep picturing your bringing more and more traffic to your website this way, it will help you stay READY for any opportunities that come your way to drive traffic to your star website!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I learn more and more about the internet, I find that about the only thing you can count on is that the internet is still in a remarkable state of CHANGE. It's still "morphing" almost daily, and this can be exciting or forboding. It all depends on your personal state of mind. So keep on optimizing and visualizing and looking for ways to show off your star website. And you will be successful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Persistence, tenacity, perseverence (if you do these things, some people will call you "stubborn"--don't let that stop you, or even slow you down), just keep going on life's big adventure and never, ever give up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You Beyond Words,&lt;br /&gt;Scotty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ebook-eden.secretsgolden.com/"&gt;eBook eDen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/946180402238153748-5900373958930942676?l=garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://secretsgolden.home.att.net/golden.html' title='&quot;Driving&quot; Traffic To Your Site'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com/feeds/5900373958930942676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=946180402238153748&amp;postID=5900373958930942676' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/946180402238153748/posts/default/5900373958930942676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/946180402238153748/posts/default/5900373958930942676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com/2008/04/driving-traffic-to-your-site.html' title='&quot;Driving&quot; Traffic To Your Site'/><author><name>Scott Ley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03679267532427508352</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_TqmlIBBLIkk/SBXBWAa54kI/AAAAAAAAABA/4S6OnWOC1Kk/S220/applesnake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946180402238153748.post-5026915286451646294</id><published>2008-04-21T17:03:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T13:38:34.777-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='journal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Digital Editions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='optimism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eBooks'/><title type='text'>Digital Editions and other stuff</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In the beginning, blogs (web logs) started out being more like personal journals and diaries. Over time they morphed into, well, other things. I'd like to bring some of the journal-type stuff back into this place. It doesn't hurt to be more personal, does it? Oh, I'm sure I'll talk about my website and especially about Digital Editions (eBooks) and such. But this is a place for all of us who write about and talk about and obsess &amp;lt;g&amp;gt; about eBooks to unwind and relax. To be ourselves. No pressure. Just good music in the background and good company to be with. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I've been a little down, today. Feeling lots of pressure because of my personal situation. I don't want to burden you with the details, so let's just say I'm getting closer and closer to what might turn out to be a bad set of circumstances for me. It's been coming on, now, for several weeks. But I try to remain up and optimistic. Not always easy, that's all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;It always excites me to write about eBooks, though. I consider them to be the "wave of the future". People are becoming more and more aware that eBooks, or "Digital Editions" as I call them, are a coming solution to the growing problem of tree and forest guzzling by the paper media. Books, magazines, newspapers, and huge archives like the Library of Congress continuously grow and require more and more paper. Unless we want to become completely reliant on algae and other plant life in the oceans and seas for our oxygen, we have to find ways to turn this situation around! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Aside from all of the other benefits, trees are not just a source of background for our reading material. They are a significant part of what supplies us the air we breathe! And there are other advantages to ebooks and digital media. I have a webpage &lt;a href="http://secretsgolden.home.att.net/digital_edition.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; that lists several of these benefits. And if you can think of any more, then I hope you'll share your opinions here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Thank You Beyond Words, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Scotty &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ebook-eden.secretsgolden.com/"&gt;eBook eDen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/946180402238153748-5026915286451646294?l=garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://secretsgolden.com/' title='Digital Editions and other stuff'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com/feeds/5026915286451646294/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=946180402238153748&amp;postID=5026915286451646294' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/946180402238153748/posts/default/5026915286451646294'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/946180402238153748/posts/default/5026915286451646294'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://garden-of-ebooks.blogspot.com/2008/04/digital-editions-and-other-stuff.html' title='Digital Editions and other stuff'/><author><name>Scott Ley</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03679267532427508352</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_TqmlIBBLIkk/SBXBWAa54kI/AAAAAAAAABA/4S6OnWOC1Kk/S220/applesnake.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
