Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down

Chorus:
(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
...and I won't back down

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
(I won't back down)
and I won't back down...

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
hey I won't back down
(and I won't back down)
hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down)
hey I will stand my ground
(and I won't back down)
and I won't back down
(I won't back down)
No I won't back down...

To all of my readers who have kept returning without finding a new post; well, here it is. Finally :-) And, there is so much news. Well, let's see if I get to cover it all.

I want to clear things up by saying that there are several reasons why I stopped blogging on a regular basis. First of all, the reason which made me start in the first place is no longer around, the operative word being around, geographically. I am thinking ... is it truly reason or reasons?

In addition, I am doing a lot better than in my early blogging days. Some 'issues' are still in the back of my head -- but you can't always get what you want, right?

I've just had a quick look at some of the older posts I wrote. In retrospect, some things seem clearer than upfront. I hate to go into all the would, shoulda, coulda line, but some things I feel I could have done differently.

Summer has finally arrived where I live. It's going to take my thyroid some time to adjust - but I guess we're all on the same boat on this one. I cannot wait to get more of it. All the sun, the warm weather, going swimming, it's perfect. I guess some people really are more of a summer type than others.

And that's why I hope to be going to calif soon. A dear friend of mine is actively presenting me to companies the minute I'm writing this, can you believe this? I'm so lucky. We reworked my CV so that it's competitive in the US labor market. I had no idea it was that different. So, now we're in contact with two companies interested, he said there were more to come.

In the meantime, I got to finally, finally, finally get rid of the armed forces. No nothing is what I need submit to. Thanks to my enthusiasm for running some years ago.

Upon review, this is a rather crappy post. I will take it up at a later stage and call it a night.

Is not martial arts a great way to get in touch with your body, get a better body feeling and self consciousness, and get fitter and healthier all at the same time?

I have always believed that human beings were born to move. By move I am trying to outline a human’s need for physical education. The farther we look back on the history of our ancestors, we clearly see that they all lived in nature and that couch potatoes are rather a phenomenon of our time.

In order to get started with mixed martial arts, you will need the right MMA Gear. The best spot to grab your gear is groundandpound.com. I can highly recommend their online store as they have the real gear for real fighters!

For instance, if you are interested in cage fighting you will need a pair of MMA Gloves. They are the best.

From my own experience, I can say that if you do not have the right gear for the sport you want to try, it will not be fun. Therefore, it is truly important.

When watching sports on TV the other day, I noticed that the sports stars wear exactly the same gear.

Well, the short answer as to whether to be a FOREX affiliate will make you money is, yes and no!

If you are willing to put some effort and time in and don't give up for a couple of weeks you can earn an almost endless pot of money from promoting Forex products and services as an affiliate.

If you are going to quit just because you haven't had a user sign up within the first few weeks then the answer is probably no, you can't make money promoting Forex.

Promoting FOREX products is a niche. That is why many webmasters believe it just doesn't convert. Rubbish. ANY niche can convert if you put the effort in. Fortunately for people like you and me - every person who decides this niche is not for them is leaving more money on the table for us.


Avoid bad FOREX programs

The thing you should also be aware of are scamming Forex affiliate programs. Forex is well known for less than 'above-board' companies.

I should know, I was scammed by a Forex affiliate program. I sent them several sales in a few months and never got the $1,500 they owed me despite several phone calls and emails.

It turned out that a few weeks later they got shut down for fraud. This was a clear warning to me that I had to pick and choose who I promoted extremely carefully.

I should warn you that they have since set-up a new company called 'Forex Investments LP' - avoid them at all costs.


So what Forex affiliate programs DO work?

The Easy-Forex Affiliate Program

Personally I have had my best results through two Forex brokers. My best performing broker is Easy-Forex which converts for me at less than 1 in 50 and also offers a far superior backend than any other Forex affiliate scheme I have seen.

With the Easy-Forex affiliate program you can earn up to $250 CPA commission for every new trader you refer PLUS at least 10% of all of the profits they bring in during their time with Easy-Forex. When you consider Forex trading often involves 5 or 6 figure value trades you can see just how profitable this is.

Because of the great backend, conversion rates and earning potential Easy-Forex is a great place to start promoting Forex.

The eToro Affiliate program

The other Forex affiliate program I highly recommend you join is eToro. This broker also converts really well and has a decent backend reporting system.

Unlike with Easy-Forex, it is wiser to choose a revenue share that is higher in percentage. I currently get 25% of the profits. Compared to 10% with Easy Forex this sums up very nice as most players will invest large sums of money. However, there is no fixed commission. It will take some time longer to start earning money with eToro. But once you do, you won't want to miss it :-)

Anyway that should be enough to get you started. Remember you need to take the time to learn, stick at it, avoid the scam companies, and join the programs you know others are having success with like Easy-Forex and eToro.

If you do all of that then you could well be on course to a Forex affiliate fortune!

Good luck!
