Grand Theft Auto 5 [09, 2013]

#1 Bestseller – Biggest Game Ever

.

GTA-V-Box-Art-523x640Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets, and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.

Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.

The biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created,Grand Theft Auto V blends storytelling and gameplay in new ways as players repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game’s three lead characters, playing all sides of the game’s interwoven story.

All the classic hallmarks of the groundbreaking series return, including incredible attention to detail and Grand Theft Auto‘s darkly humorous take on modern culture, alongside a brand new and ambitious approach to open world multiplayer.

Developed by series creators Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is now available worldwide for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Key Game Features:

Los Santos and Blaine County – The largest open world yet in a Grand Theft Auto title, spanning vastly diverse cultural and geographical areas – the entire world of Grand Theft Auto V is open from the very beginning of the game to explore. Visitors to the greater metropolis of Los Santos and the countryside of Blaine County will encounter faded celebrities, party people, hikers, bikers, and every other manner of colorful denizen. You’ll be able to traverse everywhere from the tops of the mountains, through the streets of Los Santos and to the depths of the ocean floor.

Michael, Franklin and Trevor – Three playable protagonists – Michael, Franklin, and Trevor may live in different parts of town, have their own issues, attitudes, lifestyles, desires and goals – but they do know how to work together. They also each have their own unique skillsets to bring to the table when it’s time to get the job done.

Heists – Petty crimes, hustling, and stealing cars can only get you so far in Los Santos. To score big, Michael, Franklin and Trevor will work together to pull off grand Heists – big, multi-part missions that require careful preparation, recruiting, and precise (and often explosive) execution. Cash is king in GTAV and while there will be plenty of ways to acquire and spend it – heists are the way to earn the big bucks.

‘Recreational’ Activity – The open world of Grand Theft Auto V is not just massive in scale, but will offer more to get into than ever before. For recreation, play a bit of golf or tennis, zen out with some yoga or cycle through the countryside. For adrenaline heads, parachute over the city, or customize your Cheetah and take it to the streets to race suckers for money. Or earn cash the old fashioned way, by taking it – whether by ripping off liquor stores or by buying and taking over businesses that will earn you dividends. Even minding your own business having a stroll you may meet one of Los Santos’ weirdos or starlets and find yourself off on a wild misadventure you never expected.

From the Inside Flap

Although I had years of experience in the IT world, I had very little experience of the internet in respect to building sites and indeed internet marketing. Don’t think that my IT background gave me a head start in my online affiliate career, because to be honest it did not. I started my journey into the world of internet marketing with no experience of WordPress, zero SEO knowledge and very little knowledge of internet marketing techniques. I will, however, say that as I had worked for myself for over 20 years, I did have one skill that was indeed a great asset to my new career. This transferable skill was of course the ability to put in the hours, day in, day out, which I realise is a struggle for most.

If you want to succeed, you will have to train yourself to avoid the distractions that occur on a daily basis. I realise that there are always better things to do than write another bloody article or build another link, but you must learn to apply yourself and keep on keeping on! Most people waste a large proportion of their lives watching TV, visiting social networking sites or simply doing nothing. In reality, for those who are motivated, even those with full-time jobs have at least a couple of hours a day they could utilise to build new, highly profitable, passive income streams. To build a profitable online cash cow you do not need to be an internet mastermind or SEO genius. You simply need to funnel all your drive and motivation to the project in hand. Once your site is up and running, if you can create quality daily content plus add a few links to your pages, each and every day, you can succeed. Yes, it is really as simple as that.

From the Author

How Creating Pages That Earn Just 10p a Day Will Make You Rich! If you are employed, then once you have completed an hour’s work, at a rate of £6 per hour, £16 per hour or even £26 per hour, that hour is gone forever. That hour of your life, in regards to earning potential, has simply expired. Working as an online affiliate, however, most of your working hours will have a much longer lifespan and far superior earning potential. To demonstrate this fact, let’s work on the assumption that every page of content you create generates just 10p in revenue per day.  If I gave you a choice of earning £20 an hour as an employee or 10p for each article you produce, which to simplify this scenario we will say takes one hour to write, which would you prefer?

If you opted for the £20 as an employee, working one hour a day over the course of a year you would have earned 365 x £20, which is £7,300. Over the course of two years you would have earned £14,600 in total. If you chose the 10p per article option then in the first year you would have earned £6,679.50, but by the end of the second year you would have earned £26,681.50! Even using such a miserly sum as 10p per article, each article would earn £36.50 per year from the day it is posted on your website, (10p x 365 days). In reality every article you post becomes another passive income stream generating revenue for you over and over again. You don’t need to target expensive products to make extremely good money online as long as you are able to keep producing content which in turns keeps on generating revenue, even as little as 10p per day.

Imagine that you spent an hour creating a review page for a product that had a retail price of £100 and you received 5% commission for each sale. Generating clicks that resulted in just one sale a day would generate £1,825 per year, (£5 x 365 days). Imagine having 20 such sales pages, which would generate 20 x £1,825 or in real terms £36,500 per year! If you had 100 such pages you would earn £182,500 per year. Understand now why those affiliates that take the time to master the art of online affiliating marketing become so wealthy?

There are many online webmasters who have become extremely wealthy simply by earning just a few pennies a click from Google AdSense or by generating clicks for affiliate programs such as Amazon and Clickbank.  You can become one of them simply by having the drive and motivation to create daily quality content.

What’s the Master Plan?
Most online marketing type books insist that the best way to make money online is by creating a network of thin type affiliate sites that generate income from many different niches. By “thin”, I refer to websites that comprise less than 100 pages and target just a handful of search phrases. The trouble with this strategy is that these types of website are the ones that have been hit the hardest by the latest Google algorithm updates. I take a completely different view with respect to making money online. I believe, and have actually proved, that the way forward is to build big brand type authority sites, that comprise at least 1000 pages. Build a brand and build it big is the way to go, in my opinion.

If you check the websites that currently dominate your favoured niche, you find that it is indeed the big brand type sites that are dominating Google’s search results. Thin type affiliate sites that still rank highly are basically living on borrowed time. It is a fact that a site that has, let’s say, 1000 pages, has far more internal SEO (search engine optimisation) power than 20 sites of 50 pages. You don’t have to be the BBC or Amazon to build a brand in the virtual eyes of search engines. Most would-be affiliates, however, want the easy option, opting to build sites of 10 to 50 pages with the great ambition of getting their website completed in a couple of weeks so that they can sit back and watch the money come rolling in. Of course this simply does not happen! Remember, to build a 1000 page affiliate site you only need to add three articles a day over the course of a year. Sounds very easy, doesn’t it? However, to keep producing three articles a day, day in, day out, is not as easy as you would think. At first, pumped full of enthusiasm, starting a potentially life-changing online business, most people find it easy to complete the daily tasks, even those who are still working 9 to 5. In most cases, however, within a few weeks the initial enthusiasm has died down from a raging fire to just a few embers. Remember those that succeed are those who accept from the very start that the project they have undertaken is going to take time to flourish. Don’t expect any reward for your efforts during the initial 6 to 12 months as it simply takes time to establish a new online affiliate business.

Get Rich Quick Affiliate Systems
I state again that this book is not another of those “get rich quick” guides that seem to be littered all over the internet. I cannot promise that you will make a five-figure monthly income, nor can I promise that you will be living the high life in a year’s time. I can say, however, that if you follow the guidelines in this book and devote yourself to your site for at least a year, then you will indeed have a quality site with multiple revenue streams.

“Get rich quick” affiliate guides make only those selling the guides rich. Such guides still sell thousands of copies each week, as there seems to be an army of buyers ready to swallow the clever marketing spew. Don’t be another victim! If you are following this guide while holding down a full-time job, then I will be honest and say that you have a really tough task to get through the first year. I will, however, also say that I know of many now successful affiliates who did build a successful affiliate site while working in the “real world” full-time. At the end of the day it all depends on how much you really want it!

Are you prepared to sacrifice a couple of hours TV viewing each day in return for multiple revenue streams that will continue to make money even while you sleep? Do you want your own profitable business from which you reap all the rewards and which you can maintain anywhere in the world where you have a stable internet connection? I was in my early forties when I jumped on the online affiliate bandwagon. If I can do it, anybody can!
