There are wonders aplenty in this life, and mostly in the mundane. Sometimes these wonders creep up on us and surprise us. Sometimes these wonders prove to us that God is in and about and alive through all life.

Recently I was reminded that ordinary Aussie adventures do occur, when we least expect them.

HOW THE STORY GOES...

Cycling home from work is usually mundane exercise, but not this day. As I peddled, approaching a stop sign, I noticed the car ahead of me with a flat tyre. I tapped on the driver's window, and, feeling a little creepy, reported the situation to the young lady driving. Noticing there were no men aboard, I offered to change the tyre for them.

Pretty standard story thus far...

It took a few minutes for the two young women - German backpackers, Jo and Catherine - to unload their luggage compartment so I could access the spare wheel. Then we found there was no wheel brace. This is when the story gets interesting.

An Australia Post courier drives past and I flag her down; she looks in the back of her van, but no wheel brace was found. She was very courteous; almost apologetic. A man drives past in a four-wheel-drive; he checks his wheel brace and doesn't know where to look; we can't help each other, but he is civil. The next car stopped is a small Hyundai with three women inside. The driver ruffles through her luggage compartment and finds a wheel brace, but it doesn't fit the Honda wheel nuts. She blesses us and then leaves. Then, as Catherine and Jo and I talk, Simon arrives, distinctive in his dreadlocks. He is ready to help. However, he checks his car - a Toyota SUV - and it lacks one wheel brace! "Good to know this," he says. Then I call my workplace and Jim, the storeman, agrees to bring some tools. He arrives in a matter of minutes and we have the tyre changed just as quick. But the spare tyre is the wrong one; it's a steel rim, not an alloy wheel like the one that has just been changed. But we do get it to fit good enough to drive a short distance. Soon enough Jim follows Jo and Catherine in getting the tyre fixed.

MORALS TO THIS STORY

These are the things I was reminded of in this everyday Aussie adventure:

1. Don't assume people don't want to help. Every single person we stopped was courteous and understanding; each felt bad that they couldn't help. God restored our faith in helpful humanity.

2. These are divine appointments. I would not have even met Jo, Catherine or Simon at all if it hadn't have been for this unfortunate event.

3. The most practical reminder is the need for a wheel brace for when we have a need to change a flat tyre. It's a good idea we are prepared.

***

There is plenty of good news in the world if we will only look to see it, just as there are plenty of good people. God, help us notice the good and these good people as we traverse our days, AMEN.

Q: What is the easiest thing to sell online? Is it a good affiliate product? An online marketing or entrepreneurial offer? What about a small product in a really obscure "mini-niche" that no one knows about but ME? Or maybe I'll just try to sell NOTHING... and get rich with AdSense, or contextual ads?

Any of these questions sound familiar? In this article I'm going to share with you the absolute EASIEST thing to sell online, and why if you are serious about success, and actually enjoying the work that you do, you'll actually apply this system to YOUR business, starting today (no more wasting time and spinning your wheels on silly stuff that will NEVER work).

Curious to know more? Continue reading as we take a closer look below!

The EASIEST thing to sell online is simple.

YOU.

If you can codify your knowledge into a service, there is NO better way to turn your passion into perpetual piles of PROFIT. Period.

Why?

Because if I need help, and you have genuine expertise, and authority in a niche or marketplace, "YOU" have value in my life.

You can set your own prices (and believe me, people WILL pay them if you deliver what you do best).
You can work with who you want to... and equally as important, you can NOT work with whom you don't.

Remember... services, like the ones you can offer as a coach, consultant, teacher or trainer have a MUCH higher perceived value than eBooks, audio programs, membership sites, and other stuff that most "gurus" want you to believe you need.

For example - when I had a "real" business, I paid my accountant BIG bucks every time I needed to sit down with him for an hour or two and just get some of my questions answered. I didn't love it... but I did, because he helped my business save money.

If he would have put the same information into an eBook, or membership site, and said - "listen to this", I would have never agreed to pay even a fraction of that amount.

If you can organize and codify what you know into something that can be transmitted as a service... I don't care if you are a dry cleaner or a dentist, a clairvoyant or a credit counselor, you CAN get rich doing work that you love.

The truth is, selling yourself, in the best possible sense of the word, is the most elegant business model in the world.

And the online marketing model makes setting it up a cinch.

The fastest approach is what I call the "Strategy of Straight Lines" and it focused on moving strangers from subscribers, and subscribers into sales.

Basically, it works in 3 simple steps.

You create content, much like this.

And you use that content to generate a community of people who are interested in your expertise. And through a follow up conversation (via an email auto responder) you convert a small percentage of your community into clients.

For most personal service markets, a small 5% conversion percentage can make you very financially successful, and you are still helping (hopefully) 100% of the people who are on your "list" but aren't ready, able or willing to pay for higher end help.

Remember, content creation is 100% free, and that is the engine that drives your business using this approach.

An auto responder is very inexpensive, and there are plenty of services that offer FREE services, until you get to a significant amount of subscribers.

It's really that easy.

Special occasions call for special attention to details, and this includes custom invitations. While you can buy generic invitations, creating personalized ones is more appropriate and fun for weddings, birthdays and other pivotal life events. Invitations you create this way may become cherished keepsakes for your friends or family. Here is how to create your own invitations easily and conveniently.

Go Online

An online invitation maker provides updates and flexibility. Create your account to have access to all the tools you will need for your current project and future projects. It is much easier to make your invitations this way than to create a template yourself and spend money on ink and paper printing them all off.

Choose the Template

Choose from a variety of invitation templates. Birth announcements, party invitations, graduation announcements and much more are available. Browse around until you find the one most suitable for what you are planning.

You can also choose the type of paper you want to use. Some people prefer glossy paper, while others prefer a matte finish. An invitation-printing site may also offer textured paper.

Customize the Photo or Artwork

You can use available artwork or stock photos if you wish; however many people prefer to use something from their own collection to make the invitations more personal. For wedding invitations, you could use a photo of the couple, for example. For birthday party invitations, you could use a photo of the person when he or she was a newborn - use whatever you feel is most appropriate for the situation. Remember that you can also edit photos with online tools to enhance them or create whimsical additions, such as thought bubbles.

Upload the photo or artwork to the template to see how it looks and to make sure it fits properly. Some photos or art may need to be resized. You can do this quickly and easily using resizing or cropping features supplied by photo-editing sites and software. If you run out of time, you can always save your work and return later to finish the project.

Add Your Text

Customizing the text is very easy. If you are not sure what to write, simply follow the rule of keeping things simple. List the place, time and date and whether or not people should bring anything and if you want them to contact you before the event. If you are feeling creative, you can add funny remarks or a short, sentimental quote.

Place Your Order

Double-check your invitations, making sure there are no typos or anything else that needs to be edited. Creating your invitations with an online invitation maker provides you this kind of flexibility. Once you are satisfied with how your invitations look, check again that you have selected the quantity you want and place your order.

After you have created and ordered your first invitations, you can return anytime to create new invitations for any event. Since you have developed the experience of uploading and customizing the images and adding text, you can also do this with greeting cards or other print products.
