Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Practical Manifestations we have a few fundamental
principles:
• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand
services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent
reason.)
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law,
develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going
operation of one of our services.
• In our blogging products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control
what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently
deleted.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Practical Manifestations, LLC (“Practical Manifestations”) may operate several websites
including PracticalManifestations.com. It is Practical Manifestations’ policy to respect your
privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Practical Manifestations collects non-personally-identifying
information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the
browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
Practical Manifestations’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better
understand how Practical Manifestations’ visitors use its website. From time to time, Practical
Manifestations may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by
publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Practical Manifestations also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses. Practical Manifestations does not use such information to identify its
visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same
circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Practical Manifestations’ websites choose to interact with Practical
Manifestations in ways that require Practical Manifestations to gather personally-identifying
information. The amount and type of information that Practical Manifestations gathers depends
on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up to blog at
practicalmanifestations.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in
transactions with Practical Manifestations – by purchasing access to the Akismet comment spam
prevention service, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as
necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each
case, Practical Manifestations collects such information only insofar as is necessary or
appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Practical Manifestations.
Practical Manifestations does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as
described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information,
with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Practical Manifestations or its agents may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its
websites. For instance, Practical Manifestations may monitor the most popular blogs on the
Practicalmanifestations.com site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify
spam. Practical Manifestations may display this information publicly or provide it to others.
However, Practical Manifestations does not disclose personally-identifying information other
than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Practical Manifestations discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying
information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need
to know that information in order to process it on Practical Manifestations’ behalf or to provide
services available at Practical Manifestations’ websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose
it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located
outside of your home country; by using Practical Manifestations’ websites, you consent to the
transfer of such information to them. Practical Manifestations will not rent or sell potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its
employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Practical
Manifestations discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information
only when required to do so by law, or when Practical Manifestations believes in good faith that
disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Practical Manifestations,
third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Practical Manifestations
website and have supplied your email address, Practical Manifestations may occasionally send
you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date
with what’s going on with Practical Manifestations and our products. We primarily use our
various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of
email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our
feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to
your request or to help us support other users. Practical Manifestations takes all measures
reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction
of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Among other things this web site illustrates the pattern of manifesting, I think that is the most incredible part about it. Yes, you can use it to communicate with others and to learn new things about personal devlopment, but there are very few examples out there that can truly illustrate the pattern of manifesting. Usually when you hear about something that involved manifesting, it is after the fact. By that point it is too late. It is much more difficult to relate to something after it has happened when you haven’t even begun to experience the equivalent in your life. This web site is very different in this respect. The fact that we are documenting all the steps of manifesting allows us to freeze the steps in time so that years from now people will be able to see the steps we took.
This web site is at the beginning stages of manifesting. There is doubt and uncertainty among our neighbors and collegues as to whether or not this site will really take off. This is the most critical point of the manifesting process. Many people reach this point, when they are trying to manifest something, and then they give up. They don’t see miracles happening and they discount the signs they do see as coincidence. But let’s think about it. Previous to a few weeks ago, this web site did not exist. A few weeks ago it was meerly in my mind. I had this giant concept and was not even sure what it was about. When I first put the web site together it had a yoga-meditation type background, I was writing to big companies to advertise on the site and was getting no response, I had no flyers, no business cards, no phone number, no mail address, no blog, no forum, no google-join this site program, etc. What I did have was a massive inspiration to do something big. I had no idea how I was going to do it. I spoke with a lawyer about helping companies by advertising on my site for free and he said there would be a lot of legal issues with such a thing. I aborted the idea and focused on the web site. I came across Google Adsense and Commission Junction, where you sign up and become an affiliate advertiser. This way I was able to monetize the site.
If you are going to do something big, in my opinion anyway, it needs to have some sort of income to balance its own expenses. I have a tenement house and that’s basically what it does. If I had to keep putting money into it and never saw the profit and loss sheet break even, unless I was incredibly wealthy, eventually I would have to dump it.
What are the steps I am taking to manifest this web site and how can you apply them to your own life? First we’ll look at the steps I am taking. Well, take for example the fact that I intended from the beginning for the site to reach the world. Like I said, I started with a yoga-meditation type background. When my consultants were pitching the concept to business owners and employees it seemed awkward. What did a meditation site have to do with business? It has a lot to do with business, but it needed to be something business people can relate to. I needed to make it so everyone could connect. I put the world as the background for the site. This way business people can connect with it and it accomplished the goal of acting like it already was a world-wide site. Had I made the background anything but the world, it would not have reinforced what I was manifesting.
Next I needed business cards. Business cards without an address and a phone number are not as powerful as business cards with an address and phone number. It was not that I expected mail and phone calls right away, but I needed to present the company as a company. No one would would be interested in the company if we were handing out phony-looking business cards. I chose a color that stood out among business cards–bright lime green. People might spot it even if it was burried deep in your pocket. On the back of the cards it suggests to ask us to send the card-holder more cards so they can share them with others. We chose colors for the flyers that stood out among flyers. We made pull tabs at the bottom of each flyer so people could keep contact info about the site and share it with others.
I thought about the message we had put on the phone answering service. Since we are a world-wide company, we need to have a message that reflects this. Everything we do should say “WORLD-WIDE”. We need to add at the end our business hours and say that the hours are given in UNITED STATES EASTERN STANDARD TIME. What does that say to people? That says this business is world wide. The fact that we need to specify United States means that people must be calling from abroad. That means when our neighbor from down the street calls our business number, they were just informed that we are running a world-wide business. It would work the opposite way too. If someone abroad had called the business phone number and the answering service somehow implied that we only get calls from down the street, the person would probably assume the business was not world-wide. Said person is therefore probably not going to tell other people in their country about the business and the web site because they don’t want to look foolish.
So how does this apply to your life? What is it that you are trying to manifest? Perhaps you are at the stage of having the inspiration, but have not yet put it into action. First of all, there is probably an action you will need to take. Action is good because it helps people to not overthink things. When they take action they are thinking about the action they are involved in. If they are just sitting in a room there is a better chance they might convince themselves that the whole idea is bogus. As you are taking action, you can see little pieces of your new reality unfold and replace your old reality. Sitting in a room dreaming you are replacing old dreams with new ones, but making them your reality can be very difficult if you have never done it before. Action is the doorway for the layman to begin manifesting.
So you have a dream. You need to first put yourself in the dream. What are you wearing? How are you acting? What are you doing in the dream. Next you need to actually wear what you were wearing in the dream. Is the dream that you are a CEO of a business? What does a CEO wear on casual occasions? What does he/she wear on formal occasions? You will need to get yourself clothes for this new wardrobe. Take these steps gradually. You don’t want to spend your life savings just getting in the position to realize the dream. That is what we are doing–we are putting you in the realm of making the dream your reality. Once you are in the realm, the reality might still take some time to manifest, so don’t figure you will be getting a fat check within a week after buying a new wardrobe. Now you may need to act differently. If you usually cuss at people, you may need to tame this habit a bit. You might need to polish your eating etiquette, etc. You won’t convince people you are a CEO by belching and scratching your stomach all the time. If someone was looking for a person to be the CEO of their company, they would look right past you and maybe at the person behind you, just because you weren’t acting the part. Now, perhaps most importantly, what are you doing in the dream? You need to start doing those things in real life. If you are making big decisions in the dream, you need to become comfortable making big decisions in your own life. As a CEO you might be directing a lot of people beneath you. Maybe join a network or a forum where you learn to work with large groups of people. The group you join should be discussing one of the focal points of your dream. With the example of the hopeful CEO, one would join a forum of business administrators. At first the topics and conversation may be completely foreign to you. You don’t want to start giving advice to experts on how to run a business when you have never run one before. But eventually you will gain knowledge in the subject the forum is discussing and will be able to give suggestions to others that are just starting out. At that point you are starting to see yourself as a leader in the business field and others are seeing you in the same light. In an interview you will be able to speak the language and walk the walk.
This is what I mean when I say that this web site illustrates the pattern of manifesting. This is what makes this web site unique. We are experiencing the very things every person new to manifesting experiences. I differ from the average person in my level of determination and in the fact that I am thoroughly convinced that manifesting works. I recognize that I have manifested just about everything in my life. The difference now is that I recognize it as manifesting, and so that gives me the power to manifest whatever I wish. Previously if I had a dream, I thought I was limited by my skill level, talents, and laws of probability. Now all the doors are open and I want to show the doors to others…around the world.
Sincerely,
Practical
You know I was just starting to wonder when this web site was really going to take off. I have just been putting out a lot of signals and probes waiting for someone to respond. I have had a few hints of interest outside of my own family, but nothing to write home about. I caught a bad cold on Thursday, I think it was because I have been pushing really hard and haven’t seen the amazing results from this web site that I know it is capable of. Then it happened. I got an instant message on facebook.com from a person in Pakistan. I made a new friend and he is the first of many great minds to answer the call. We conversed via instant messaging for a few brief moments, but that alone made putting up the web site worth it. This person studies personal development, professional development, emotional intelligence and psychology. This is a great world we live in. It was through this web site that this is all possible. I encourage anyone visiting this web site to get the word out to anyone with ears–Positive Energy Is Now!
When I first had the idea for this web site I was very excited. I was very excited because I finally had a way of reaching millions if not billions of people. I have always wanted to tell people about how we are not limited to what we perceive of ourselves today and in the past. To the contrary we are unlimited. This is not philosophy, this is reality. I have always felt this and recently I came across the proof I needed to make it real for other people. If I could build a web site that maintained a steady stream of visitors just by offering them a place to read what I write and discuss it in my blog—that in and of itself would prove that positive energy changes reality…not just perception. The reality is that this web site exists. It is not just my perception…it’s here and it already draws a lot of traffic. The numbers I post on the home page are real, I would not post something like statistics that were not real. Much of my traffic up until now has been on my directmatch.com profile, but that is slowly changing—people are visiting my actual site more and more. The same can be said for my blog. If you know me personally I would be glad to show you the statistics by logging into my account.
So why was I so excited when I found a way for millions of people reading what I write and being able to communicate with each other? It’s not because what I write is so profound, it is really sort of common sense. I mean the world acknowledges the concept of negative energy playing a constant role in your life—jinxes, hexes, bad voodoo, etc. So people should do the same for positive energy…but for some reason people are hesitant. There are far more words to describe negative vibes, like the ones above, than there are positive vibes. You have words like blessing, or fairy dust or the like, but they aren’t used as often or in the same way the negative terms are used. The reason I was so excited was because we finally have a way to pool our positive energy to work toward whatever it is we are wishing for. It doesn’t even matter if what each person is wishing for is different from the next person, we are all working together and playing a part in one another’s goals.
Most people and companies just use the power of traffic to sell stuff. They have products or services they are trying to sell or they are trying to market themselves. The seller or marketer is taking people’s time and money and it is mostly just going toward lining their own pockets. Some sellers and marketers have a greater purpose in mind, but usually money is the main goal. Money is such a small part of abundance though. It is a tiny spot in one facet of abundance, yet people play it up to be larger than life itself. I see money as a tool to get people’s attention. For example people think something “works” if it makes money. If you are involved in something that is a money pit you are going to have a hard time convincing others that said something is worth being involved in. People would think, “Why would I want to be involved in that, just so I can lose my shirt? I can do that on my own, thank you!” If people see that a business, for instance, is making money and has a lot of assets they are far more likely to think that it does “work”.
So on to the traffic part. With so many people coming to the site, sure they can click on a few ads and whatever, but far more important is that each person’s energy flow is participating in the site. Furthermore we involve people’s energy flow even if they don’t visit the site. People discuss the site and what they are manifesting and it affects other people whether they visit the site or not. I cannot begin to describe the power of just one person’s energy flow, especially if that person is putting all of their energy toward being positive. In addition, each person’s energy flow can increase and the rate that it can increase can increase, and so on.
We are evolving into a species with a higher level of consciousness and this web site the the first of many vehicles taking us there. Traffic is equal to positive energy from people. The question of what can be done with traffic to a web site would be better stated as, What cannot be done?” When I first told other people about the site, they could not understand what there was to be excited about. They understood that other people would see it and maybe even millions of other people would see it, but they wondered “What difference does it make how many people see it?” In terms of advertising it makes a big difference if one person sees your ad versus if millions of people see your ad. Think of the advertising power a business has when they advertise during the Super Bowl. All of a sudden it puts them on the map, so to speak. Thousands if not millions of people get the urge to buy that type of soda or chips or whatever.
Our business is advertising something, but it is not a product or a service—it is positive energy. Having millions of people come to our web site is the equivalent of having an ad during the Super Bowl. When people are done viewing the ad they suddenly have the urge to try using positive energy, to try manifesting the things they have been dreaming about. Even if only for a few moments they get to be a part of the magic that is positive energy. Now you might think that a few moments is nothing when compared to a person’s entire life span. But just as you remember a few ads from the last Super Bowl, people remember those few moments they were in the magic. Then they find themselves checking in on the site, seeing how many visitors we have to date, how many people’s lives we are changing. Then they ask themselves if it could happen to them. Guess what the answer is, ABSOLUTELY.
I don’t care if you have spent your entire life doing things out of spite and laughing the whole time. You have an opportunity here to change yourself and to help change the world. Positive energy is now. It is not limited to this web site or to me or to you. It drives everything that is.
Below I welcome you to write what you think about the power of web site traffic. It might be about our site, it might be about yours, or it might be about power in numbers. We thank you for reading and look forward to reading your comments,

I’ll give you an example of something we at Practical Manifestations.com are manifesting right now. Something you are manifesting, by our use of the word, is an event or thing that you intend or are dreaming of happening or coming into being, only millions of times more powerful. Usually if someone intends or dreams of something they are only using their mind with a few good feelings about it and maybe even a smile. By contrast, when you are manifesting something you are using your entire being to create it. You can also employ the help of others to help create it too by telling them about it and being excited when you do so. This starts to give the thing you are creating validity.
For example, if I told you that you had a new car parked in front of your house and it belonged to you, you might not believe me. What would you do? First you might look out the window to verify its existence. If you couldn’t see it you might then ask me to confirm that you had heard me correctly—thereby trying to verify its existence. Next you might ask other people around you if it was true, maybe they could see the car—maybe it was parked behind something or not visible from this window. Again you are trying to verify its existence. At some point you are going to give up hope that the car could be out there if you can’t see it, no one else can see it, and the only one saying it is there is me.
Where am I going with this? What I am saying is that in order for something to be true it needs to have some evidence to back it up. Maybe it doesn’t have to be visible to the naked eye, but someone somewhere needs to be able to perceive it in some way. The more people are able to perceive something and the more they use their entire being in bringing that thing to be visible by the naked eye, the faster it will be perceivable by the naked eye. In the example if you asked the people around you if the car was there and they said yes, and you were pretty sure they weren’t kidding, you would be very confused—you might think you were losing your mind. You might lie down for a while, or you might go outside and tell them to bring you to it. They bring you to the car and you realize you couldn’t see it because you thought it was your friend’s car. Now you have verified its existence two different layers—reason, and your senses—you can see, feel, taste, touch and smell it. If you hadn’t gone outside to verify it and just laid down thinking you had lost your mind, I might give the car to someone else that could conceive it without panicking.
So it is with manifesting—you need to BELIEVE. It is what so many kids movies are about. It is what Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are about. For some reason as kids start to grow up they start to doubt all the stories and fairy tales they believed when they were growing up. Those stories all contributed to their imagination and allowed them to believe they would grow up to be in the profession they soon take up. If all kids know is cynicism and doubt it is hard for them to put any whole-hearted effort into becoming the president of a country, or even a company. They feel STUCK in whatever profession is handed to them. That is not to say there is anything wrong with any profession—you can have the world on a string while cleaning the bathroom, but you could also have passed up a life-changing opportunity because you were unsure of yourself.
That being said, let me set the tone here by telling just one of the many things we are manifesting here at Practical Manifestations.com. There will always be people that question it, just as there will always be a part of myself that questions it, but there will also be thousands, millions, and billions of people that do BELIEVE. They believe in me just as I believe in them. Our abilities to manifest compound and help everyone to achieve what it is they are trying to bring to the naked eye. That is what is so amazing about it.
One thing we are manifesting is a skyscraper in New York City with a helipad on the top of it. It is important to have a presence in at least one of the traffic hubs of the world. By traffic I don’t mean bumper-to-bumper but rather people flow. The skyscraper has several floors for our own business and several floors that we rent out to businesses that are part of the Better Business Alliance. When the sun strikes its windows it is literally almost blinding how bright it is. We have giant Hollywood searchlights at the entrance to attract people from near and far as well as a nice red carpet that stretches from the door to the street to welcome them when they get here. The name PRACTICAL MANIFESTATIONS is above the entrance with a giant video screen of our recent accomplishments—that is the equivalent of our “fame” wall from feng shui. Have I mentioned that I love that wall! We have a terrace in the back of the building with a garden and an area for visitors to relax. Make yourself at home here—this is where the magic happens.
I will tell you more about our skyscraper and many other things we are manifesting in future blogs, but for now I must let you comment on this blog in the area below. I’m sure over time I will receive a lot of comments about it—some believing, some doubting—but everyone TALKING. That is one of the keys to manifesting stuff, you are involving other people. It doesn’t matter if they are completely sure it is not true. People are focusing on that thought, on that concept for some period of time—Practical Manifestation’s New York City Skyscraper. Maybe they think “No…it can’t be…can’t be!” Doesn’t matter. The universe hears “Practical Manifestation’s New York City Skyscraper” enough times, sometimes followed by yes, sometimes followed by no—either way those 6 words are spoken and thought of and felt passionately about enough times that they suddenly are visible to the naked eye.
The possibilities don’t end with us though. We give readers the opportunity in the area below to post their own manifestations. The comments are visible to everyone and all those people will help you manifest whatever it is you are wishing would happen. A lot of people read these blog postings and comments so you have a lot of power working for you. You don’t have to give your full name, but we do encourage you enter your email address, just in case we have an idea that might help you. If you have some sort of endeavor and you need to get people on board, send us a flyer or business cards so we can help you get the idea off the ground. We love to help people…PHILANTHROPY IS OUR BUSINESS.
Sincerely Yours,
Practical
So you want the straight talk on what this web site is about. Enough of the hype, the marketing, and the nonsense. Maybe you are
suspicious why we would advertise for you for free. Well here it is.THE SHORT ANSWER
Before I get into what this site is about, it is important to realize that you don’t need to know what the site is about in order to take
full advantage of it. You don’t have to go around with a headache questioning every motive you ever have from this day forward.
The point is to just have fun. What I explain in this document is the reason why it feels fun to participate in this site. But like
driving a car, you don’t need to know how it works to get from A to B.THE LONG ANSWER
This is abstract thinking applied to real-world. This coupled with reading the book should give you most of the answers you might
be looking for. I am going to warn you that by going on you agree that whatever effect this has on your life is your own
responsibility. Information can be dangerous. Hopefully you have come to terms with the fact that you are not limited to your
physical and mental presence, there is a spiritual side. That spiritual side is far more powerful than your mind could ever imagine.
Practical Manifestations.com takes no responsibility for any damage or cost incurred due to dispersing this information. We believe
the public is ready, that is why they came to us. They manifested this information to come into their perception. If they were not
ready they would not be able to read and comprehend it. They are desperate for something besides the fear and war waged on them
daily by the media. They need the deeper truth. They can find the deeper truth in many books on philosophy and religion, but they
need a real-world application. That good feeling from sharing their chips at lunch just ain’t cutting it. They need to see how the
magic of manifesting your own reality applies to the real-word. They are tired of the mysticism.LET US BEGIN:For the consumer this site is like an addictive game you just can’t leave alone. Anyone can be a consumer, even the businesses posting advertisements here. No one is excluded. Most web sites that advertise
for businesses have nothing that the business wants to visit the site for. They visit the site out of obligation to make sure their ad is
still up. This is to make sure the site owner is not taking advantage of them by taking their money while getting money from
another company to post the other guy’s ad. Then they also visit to see how the competitor is advertising versus themselves. Is the
competitor’s ad bigger and so on. See how negative all this is? What about the consumer, what is her opinion of the ads? On the
traditional web site the ads on the sides of the pages just get in the way of the content. The consumer sees the ads and scoffs how
the company will probably take advantage of them. Either that or the ads are flashing on the screen forcing you to visit the
advertised site. Again, a very negative approach in both instances.What is the object of the game? The real-world answer is to feel good and have fun. Consumers feel good and have fun when they help the web site generate traffic
on the “Traffic Builders” page, when they write about how great they feel in the blog (www.practicalmanifestations.wordpress.
com), when they respond to other people’s blogs, when they meet fellow “Traffic Builders” in the real-world and online and get a
discount or better service for contributing to a small business’ traffic. They contribute to the traffic by spreading the word about
practicalmanifestations.com and the traffic sees the ad for the small business.Note: Small businesses working with the Traffic Builders are under no obligation to give discounts to fellow Traffic
Builders when they come to the store front or buy online, no matter what rank the Traffic Builder is. Right now we only have one rank of Traffic Builder: Entry Level. Soon we will have more ranks based on how much traffic a
person brings to the site and how much they contribute in other ways. Start doing ad campaigns for practicalmanifestations.com.
Tell anyone you can. How else can I help practicalmanifestations.com to build traffic?Set your homepage to practicalmanifestations.com. CAUTION: This will change the page you start on when you open internet
explorer. It is no big deal unless you really prefer to start on the page you had set previously. Most people have it set to Yahoo! Or
MSN.comWhat happens when I participate in the Traffic Builder game?
People start see each other smiling and it makes them feel good. Traffic Builders have a reason to smile. The aim is to create a
world that is not constantly living in fear of the next terrorist attack. The more you fear the terrorist attack the more the terrorists
will attack you. With the world in the condition it is in people need a good kick in the pants to start smiling and let go the b.s. fear
pumped into them constantly by the media.The Real Long Answer:
To begin the abstract answer to what is Practical Manifestations.com is the creation of positive energy. Positive energy flow is “the
why” it feels fun and good to participate in building traffic to our web site. We’ll talk more about this in the Philosophical Aspect
below.The Business AspectAttract Traffic: Traffic is what computer geeks call people coming to your site and clicking on the pages. The more people that
come to your site, the higher the traffic. The more pages each person clicks on, the higher the traffic. So now you are wondering
is traffic a good thing or a bad thing. Unlike when you are driving, traffic in web site marketing is a good thing. It is like having a
store front and people are walking by your store. The more people walk by your store, the more likely someone is going to walk in
and buy something.
1a. Who benefits financially from traffic?The Philosophical AspectTake a breath now. You are almost done. This is the abstract deep stuff. The “why” it makes you feel good to be a part of
practicalmanifestations.com. I think the public can handle it so here it is. I think this is the first site to ever apply the positive
energy concept into marketing. We are at least the first to publicly announce it anyway. Most businesses have a secret to how they
do business and they don’t tell anyone else for fear the competitors might steel it. Our opinion is that positive energy should not be
bottled up, it stagnates. You have to release it, then it flourishes. By letting out this information I am helping businesses and people
establish their own online presence where they can propagate positive energy. Like I say, there is plenty of traffic in the world for
us to share.CLOSINGSo that’s it. Now you know what practicalmanifestations.com is basically about. You realize that we are not just some scam site
trying to get your email address, although maybe with the headache you now have you would have preferred getting a little spam
instead.Positive Energy Mega-site–Welcome to Your New Life.Sincerely yours,
This may be sort of like the movie “The Matrix” for some of you.
How do we turn advertising from a negative-driven business into a positive one? What if the ads were part of the content of the
site. If the consumer felt good by giving the advertised businesses more business because they felt they were contributing to
minimize the unemployment rate, for example, now that would be a positive-driven approach to marketing. In turn the business
would want to share in the fun by helping to bring more traffic to the web site so that all businesses advertising on the site could
share more consumers.
Consumers get to see the small businesses you helped out flourish instead of sink—they need our help. At the same time the small
businesses can give consumers a break if they can on some small purchases they make–mostly because it makes the business
owner feel good and secondarily because the consumer is bringing them business.
How do I get involved in the Traffic Builder Game?
Shortly you will be receiving business cards for practicalmanifestations.com Give them out to anyone that will take one. Tell them
about the benefits of becoming a Traffic Builder and what that could mean for their small business and personal life. If they have a
shop or store, tell them to take a picture of their sign and send it to me as an attachment along with their business address and public
contact info. They can send me an email at practicalmanifestations@yahoo.com with the subject “free advertising”.
1. Go to practicalmanifestations.com
2. Click Tools in the browser toolbar
3. Select Internet Options
4. At the top of the dialog box you see Homepage: Select “Use Current”
If you did it right, the next time you open internet explorer (the typical internet software) it will go straight to practicalmanifestations.
com. If you want to change it back you can always visit the site you would like to change the home page to and re-do the above
steps.
Note: Traffic is a geek term for potential customer. The more traffic you have the more likely you are to get customers from the
traffic.
There are two basic levels to this site. There is the business aspect and the philosophical aspect. This web site is unique in that the
focus of the site is equally divided between the two aspects.
Q: If the focus of the site is split equally between a business aspect and a philosophical aspect, why is the home page presented as
primarily a philosophical web site?
Two reasons (not listed in order of importance but rather in order of intuitive depth):
1. We are marketing to the consumer. The consumer is where our traffic comes from. Our focus is not just on ads for our fellow
businesses but rather creating positive energy in general Traffic is the number of people that visit a site. Out of the visitors to a site,
a certain portion will be actual and purchase the product being sold. Businesses need consumers to buy their products so as to stay
in business. Normally when a business wants to sell cupcakes, they make cupcakes to sell. I am taking a different approach to
marketing here than the norm. I am not making cupcakes to sell, I don’t even know how to make cupcakes. ;I do know on the
other hand how to attract traffic. Rather than being the bakery, my site is more like the construction company that redirects the
traffic from one cupcake stand to another. Since there is no money being exchanged, the redirection is like a favor and so the
cupcake stand that benefits from the traffic will compensate me with a favor of some sort, like a discount when my team of traffic
builders visits their shop.
2. The primary reason the site is presented as a philosophical site is because of our mission is to spread positive thinking and positive
energy. I believe positive thinking is a sort of pandora’s box that no one has quite figured out how to open. Granted there are great
spiritual masters and philosophers out there, but beyond selling their books and audio tapes, most of them are not good at marketing
positive energy. The reason I say this is that when they market positive energy, the buck stops with the one person being advertised
to. Sure that person can talk about how great the master’s book was, but there is no incentive for the person to do so beyond
making them kind of feel good inside. The master’s book is usually mixed in with the hype and tricksters’ books so the master is not
getting the traffic he deserves. So what is the difference with this site? The difference is that there are measurable results for
passing on the positive energy. The measurable results are reflected in both the philosophical aspect and the business aspect and are
very powerful. Beyond making the site visitor feel good inside about passing on positive energy, the visitor receives financial and
other rewards for the positive energy he exerted.
1a1. Businesses advertising on the main site: Anyone advertising a business is going to benefit from traffic. Like I said with the
store front, it makes it more likely that someone will stop in and buy something. By the main site we are referring to
practicalmanifestations.com as well as practicalmanifestations/book and practicalmanifestations/about and so on.
1a2. Site owner: the owner benefits businesses are likely to pay more to advertise on a site with a lot of traffic versus a site with
only a little traffic.
1a3. Affiliates of Businesses advertising on the site: The business that is advertising on the main site is attracting traffic to their own
web site. When the traffic goes to the advertised web site, the traffic will see ads for affiliate businesses. Thus the businesses
affiliated with the business advertising on the main site benefit financially from traffic on the main site. Affiliates of the affiliates
might see a little traffic from the main site, but by that time the traffic has pretty much already dispersed among the dozens of other
links on either the main site or the affiliated business site.
2. How is a business going to survive that is doing everything for free?
Again we are taking a totally different approach from the norm. Usually when a business starts up they buy materials to sell a
product or a service. They then try to sell that product or service for an amount higher than what it cost to make and sell or do it.
This is business outside the box. It didn’t cost me anything to get what I needed to be in business, therefore I am not trying to
make a certain profit margin. Also I already have a job that gives me enough income to live comfortably, so making a profit is not
my primary concern. I have a couple small costs like lawyer fees to draft the general advertising agreement and notes in the legal
notice and some business cards, but they can basically be absorbed by my standard of living. If I was not concerned with the time
I spend managing the site, realistically I could go on forever posting free ads on a nuts and bolts web site and only have it cost me
$30 per month–the cost to rent the software and possess the specific web site address. I am not paying for a web designer, a
server, a clerk, etc. It’s me on my laptop in my bed posting a site through Yahoo Sitebuilder (the site software). If you have the time
and the knowledge, just about anyone could afford that. But then again you would have to understand all the ins and outs of the
marketing positive energy concept.
3. Will you always offer free advertising?
Probably as time goes on we will offer more premium ads and fewer free ads. The free ads are to build up traffic and to get our
name out there. Once that is done it is a question of what creates the most positive energy—building more traffic or charging for
ads.
4. Becoming part of a network that gives each other discounts
As a Traffic Builder you help small businesses to survive in these brutal economic times. Without you they would probably declare
bankruptcy. They post ads on our site and as a traffic builder you help bring them customers. You bring in the traffic and visitors
to the site see the ads and some buy products from the small business. Instead of them going bankrupt you get to see them in the
real-world. If they are a bakery they might give you a loaf of bread on the house. If they are a landscaping business they might
mow the back lawn at a discount rate. On the other hand if they can’t afford to give you a break, they are not obligated to do so.
We all go through times that we just can’t give people discounts. With the Traffic Builder community, we understand. There is
enough positive energy to go around that we don’t need every last discount to get by.
5. Start your own business or web site
You can use the tools from Yahoo’s Sitebuilder to make a web site like mine, nothing fancy, just nuts and bolts to get the job done.
Pick an honest area to do business in and start advertising through practicalmanifestations.com as well as other sites. We’ll even
give advice on what advertising networks work and what do not.
We are marketing and distributing positive energy. We are kind of like the electric company in that respect. We are the only ones
selling it so we have cornered the market. Our compensation is not necessarily financial, although it certainly can be, but money is
not our primary objective…it’s propagating positive energy. I am not trying to sensationalize this concept, I am merely stating the
facts. There is more to life than money and things—there is a deeper appreciation of life. The concept behind Practical
Manifestations.com is a materialization of that appreciation.
I and my fellow Traffic Builders are working and one would think we would expect to be compensated. To the contrary however
working on this project is so exciting that it is compensation enough—even if nothing else came of it. The fact is that something
else does come of it. There is no way to exert the level of positive energy we are exerting and for it not to come back to you in a
big way. But that return of positive flow is not the objective, it was the initial exertion that was the objective. Real-world speaking
right now all our services are free and will basically be returned with favors. It’s like bartering. Eventually there will be more
financial compensation involved including but not limited to contributions, donations, paid advertising, discounts when shopping,
etc., but for now everything is favors. Beyond the real-world what is actually going on is truly amazing. But for that you will have
to read the book. The book cannot tell you the truth, it can only point the way. I know this sounds cliché but in this case it is true.
By buying the book you help us advertise and reach more people with positive energy. It doesn’t go to some CEO’s fourth crystal
chandelier.
Consumers visiting our site, whether they are business owners or not, may not necessarily know why they keep coming back.
They do know that they feel good participating in the various things we have to do here and spreading our name out in the internet
and the real-world.
It’s all about having fun so come visit us as often as you like, we will try our best to always make it a positive experience.
Compare how the graphs and charts look before and after you do an ad campaign for practicalmanifestations.com. This is sort of
like being a little kid again and going to the massive amusement park. Around every corner there will be surprises and excitement.
You’ll start to re-think everything you do. I saw the musical “Peter Pan” again last night. It makes a lot more sense now than it ever
did. In the musical Peter Pan returns when Wendy is all grown up. Wendy was able when she was a little kid and go to Never
Never Land. Now that she is grown up she can’t fly anymore and she can’t go back to Never Never Land. She is too tied up in the
worries and concerns that typical adult life brings.
Money is not everything, in fact it is nothing in comparison to positive energy.
If you want to tell someone about it that has never heard of such a thing you can say it is a community of positive thinkers that has
fun helping each other. We have all kinds of ways you can participate starting today and you see the effects of your efforts
immediately at http://new.addfreestats.com/?usr=00635089. That site is public so you can tell anyone to go there to view the stats
and stay up to date. I would not suggest that when telling people about this site that you tell them to go right to the “straight talk”
page. There are no references to it anywhere else in the site besides in the top navigation for a reason. I don’t want anyone to
“stumble” upon it and have any negative repercussions. Each person is responsible for their actions and Practical Manifestations.
com will not be held responsible for any loss or damage as a result of dispersion of this information. It has always been public
information, we just connected the dots in a certain order.
It has been a pleasure sharing this with you and I hope this site will help everyone transcend and realize their true potential.
Thank you for your interest and help to build practicalmanifestations.com into a:
