TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Happy Tuesday to you!
I hope all is well in your world this week. We had a great weekend of sunshine and warm weather here in Alabama.
Most of my time was spent following my wife around Home Depot shopping for outdoor furniture and plants. When it comes to shopping, following is what I do best (oh, and paying).
In fact, I told a pretty funny story about our quest for the perfect patio furniture on my radio show last Saturday.
Give it a listen and see if you can relate.
If you've been looking for the right time to start your own eBay business the big news of the day is that it's .20 cent listing day on eBay.
That means that today only (4/24/07) you can post auction-style listings for just twenty cents.
It'd be a good day to clean out those closets and start your own eBay business.
Just for fun I ran one of my old humor articles last week and got a ton of great feedback, so I think we'll make it a weekly feature until I run out of articles.
If you missed last week, here's the deal: in a past life I wrote an award-winning humor column under the penname Harper Lee Weinstock.
Think Dave Berry meets Lewis Grizzard meets Homer Simpson and you get Harper Lee Weinstock.
I've pulled those old articles out of the dust bin and made them available again and the response has been terrific. There are also cartoons and funny ecards you can send.
This week's article is on my wife's addiction to yardsales. I'm sure many of you can relate. More below.
On the serious side of business we look at the differences between patents, copyrights, and trademarks.
This continues to be one of the most-frequently asked questions on my radio show. This article should clear the air. More below.
When it comes to making money in a pinch nobody does it better than James Jones, author of "Emergency Cash Generators."
I got a call from James last week to let me know that he has updated ECG for 2007 with even more ways to generate cash on the spot. Details below.
This coming weekend I'll be attending Ken McCarthy's "The System" seminar in Chicago. If you're really serious about learning how to profit online, you should meet me there. More below.
And as always you'll find the audio replays of "The Tim Knox Show" and the "48 Days To The Work You Love" radio show.
Enjoy!

How To Protect Your Ideas With Copyrights and Patents
A wise man once said...
"The biggest difference between a copyright and a patent is the number of lawyers it takes to do the paperwork."
There is a point to be made there, mainly that if this wise man had paid his attorney to copyright that tidbit of wisdom I probably would have had to pay him five bucks to use the quote.
Copyrights, trademarks and patents are similar in that they are designed by law to protect your rights of ownership, but that's where the similarity ends.
A copyright protects a creative work; a trademark protects a brand or company identity; and a patent protects an invention or process.
Confused? Don't be. It's actually pretty simple...

There's No Sale Like A Yardsale
My wife, God love her, has a problem.
Ordinarily, she is a wonderful woman, always kind to animals and small children, friendly with the neighbors, loved by one and all.
But every Saturday morning, just after sun up, something happens to her, something horrible!
She becomes an ugly, vicious, salivating, clawing thing!
No, she's not a werewolf, but that's a pretty good guess. If only it were something a silver bullet could cure (or a case of Silver Bullets, for that matter).
Her problem is no mere sickness of the blood, my friends.
Hers is a sickness of the mind, the spirit and the body. It's an all-encompassing affliction, kind of the same thing you'd get the morning after downing the aforementioned case of Silver Bullets, I suppose.
This curse is called...Yardsalitis! (Please imagine an ominous musical burst here)

Top Online Business Building Seminar Is This Weekend In Chicago
There are a lot of Online Business Seminars out there, but in my opinion the cream of the crop is Ken McCarthy's "The System" seminar that's taking place this weekend in Chicago and I'd love to see you there.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you expect to be successful you must never stop learning.
Ken's System seminar has probably created more successful online entrepreneurs than any other; that's why it's so important that you attend if you are serious about building your own profitable online business.
Time is running out. The System begins this Friday, April 27, 2007, so you need to hurry.
If you can make it, I'll even buy you lunch!

Learn To Easily Create Multiple Streams Of Online Income
You've heard me preach the "Multiple Streams Of Online Income" sermon
many times before. It's foolish to rely on one stream of income
because you just never know when that one stream might dry up.
It seems Mark Warren has taken my advice to heart in a big way and is
now enjoying the good life, and he firmly believes he can show you how
to do the same.
"How I Increased My Adsense Revenue 400% In 24 Hours"
I told you a few weeks ago about the new videos from Michael Cheney,
the young Englishman who went from $2 a day to $19,156 A MONTH in
Adsense revenue in less than a year.
I personally ordered Michael's videos and tested just one of his ideas
on my own Adsense account and here's the honest result:
I had averaged $10 a day on this particular Adsense account for over 3
months. I implemented just one of the ideas from Michael's videos and
within 24 hours my Adsense income jumped to $50 BUCKS!
That's a 400% INCREASE IN 24 HOURS!!
Think I'm happy I bought Michael's videos? Darn right I am :o)
Michael will even let you watch one of the videos free:
