One of my newsletter subscribers wrote me to ask:

To improve security when using Wi-Fi at a coffee shop or traveling, I’ve seen advice to uninstall “File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks” on the active wireless connection in the Properties menu of Control Panel Network Connections. Is it necessary to do this – is there any downside to uninstalling this? Would it be sufficient to uncheck the box, or do I need to fully uninstall it?

I guess another way of asking this question is, What is the purpose of this Sharing feature? I’m reluctant to delete something I might need.

Also, do I need to do make this change every time I go to a new hotspot (or even to the same hotspot), or will once do it for all future Wi-Fi logins?

I answered a question from a new Firefox user about font sizes. She had just installed Firefox and noticed that the fonts were smaller than those that she was used to seeing in Internet Explorer.

The “problem” is that we, as users, can change our default fonts and font sizes in our web browsers. Firefox even offers more flexibility than does Internet Explorer.

In Internet Explorer, we can make a temporary change by clicking on View, Text Size, and then pick any of five different relative sizes. By relative, I mean…

I recently checked out Abebooks.com to see how it worked.

Where over 80 million new, used, rare, out-of-print books are just a click away, online @ abebooks.com

You see, I had two goals –
1. To find a copy of a book that I had lost in 1977 because of a flood, and
2. To see it it was worthwhile as for affiliate sales.

On #2, maybe not, as the affiliate percentage is tiny.

On #1, though, it was fantastic. I typed in “Prologue to Analog” into the title field in the search box — and virtually instantly found a large number of copies at individual book sellers.

The descriptions and prices surprised me, too. Most vendors had good descriptions of the book and dust jacket quality and LOW prices. I ended up buying my copy for $1.99 plus about $4 in shipping.

Not bad! I plan to do business with them again — both buying books and via affiliate sales.

The Butterfly Manuscript Is All You Need

Butterfly Marketing proves to be just as powerful in strategies then in the software itself. Below you will find a student and customer of the course.

Michael Cheney of “Adsense Videos” applied the the pre-launch strategies and affiliate tools and JV strategies outlined in Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing Manuscript to the his launch.

Here is what Michael Cheney had to say about what he learned in the Manuscript:

——————————————————

“Mike – first off I just want to say thank you so much! The techniques I learned from Butterfly Marketing played a BIG part in helping me make $63,249 in sales in 24 hours!!

As I write this I’m still finding it hard to believe. It seems a lifetime ago that the BFM package landed on my doorstep and I started poring over it with my smile getting larger and wider with each new insight as I realized that as long as I APPLIED what I was learning the principles were going to make something BIG happen!

Little did I know just HOW BIG it would be when I launched AdSense Videos…

AdSense Videos – 33 Hours After Launch..

The site went live. My life changed forever – seriously the results have been incredible Mike – we’ve grossed over $200,000 in 7 days!! The site got an Alexa ranking on Launch Day of 351!

AdSense Videos was ranked Number 1 on the ClickBank Marketplace in the Marketing category just 4 days after the Launch!

I’ve also been getting, on average, one new subscriber every minute of every hour for the past SIX AND A HALF DAYS!!!

So – What did I learn from you Mike and from Butterfly Marketing? Where to start! I think one of the biggest things was the step-by-step approach. Everything I created for Affiliates, Joint Venture partners and for people going through the videos themselves has been step-by-step. I made everything as easy as I could and ‘muppet-proof’ as I like to call it!

I also realized that it’s paying attention to the smaller details BEFORE launch that really pay dividends AFTER the Launch. And BOY am I seeing that!

You gave some absolute gems of advice in Butterfly Marketing which have, without a shadow of a doubt, contributed in a big way to the overall success of AdSense Videos.

Thanks again!

Michael Cheney”

If you’re still using dialup Internet access for use from home, you should start thinking about “broadband”.

What’s broadband? That’s the term for getting your Internet access via a cable or DSL connection, or even a fiber-optic connection if that’s available to you.

During the roll-out stage of cable and DSL Internet access, there weren’t too many choices. If only one was available in your neighborhood, …
