Suddenly, a LOUD FANFARE OF TRUMPETS was heard, heralding that the FIRST EDITION of the NEWEST EZINE to hit the Internet HAS ARRIVED!
 THE FIRST EDITION 
First up, I sincerely welcome you and hope that YOU will achieve something from reading this Edition. That achievement can be anything from a smile and/or a hearty laugh, right through to a new idea that has been awakened in your mind from something that you have read, RIGHT HERE! (Remember, if you don't like the colour of my robes, simply refresh your browser until you find something that you like. If the whole header disappears, don't be alarmed. My magic wand sometimes plays up.)
I purposely won't be including an INDEX in DOSE, as you could miss something that could change your life, just because I didn't make the INDEX TITLE catchy enough. THAT would be totally disastrous and NOT in keeping with the 'teaching' concept I have envisaged. What I am really saying here, is PLEASE read EVERY word. Give me the opportunity to IGNITE or RE-IGNITE the spark that burns within YOU! You and I both know it is there, so let's get it burning brightly TOGETHER!
Having now motivated you in the right direction, let's proceed ...

~ A serious 'lecture' on a relevant topic. ~
Held in the Donjon - Inner Stronghold (no, NOT the dungeon)
My Father once told me when I was a young Wiz, that he wanted to invent something that EVERYBODY in the WORLD would want to buy at least one of! It would have to cost under a $1.00 to produce which he would then sell for $2.00 each. We would brainstorm for hours, trying to come up with THE ideal item and chat about how RICH we were going to be.
Unfortunately, he lost focus and lived his life in 'what could have been' mode. In doing so, he taught me the BEST LESSON of life without really knowing he did it. NEVER give up on your dreams! I have carried HIS dream with me for ALL of my life with the aim of fulfilling it!
I often wonder what my Father would have thought about the Internet, as it wasn't around while he was alive. I think he would have seen the potential it offered and, no doubt, got those brainstorming sessions up and running again. I would have had to change his way of thinking though and that may have been hard to do. He was searching for ONE THING that would set him up for life, whereas the Internet offers MANY opportunities to CASH IN on and achieve the same result but without the real necessity to waste years in trying to invent something when it's probably already being done by somebody else!
The TRICK is, as we all now know, is to CATER to the needs of the consumer. Find a SPECIFIC market or markets, and offer them what THEY want. This leads me, finally, to something I have DISCOVERED only recently.
What would you think of marketing a 'specific product' to a GROUP in excess of 32 MILLION? I will repeat that figure - 32 MILLION!
This Group DOES exist and it is READY MADE for a PARTICULAR type of 'product' that YOU can MAKE AVAILABLE to them! Members of this Group have a common interest in MUSIC, but that's NOT what I am proposing you offer them. You can also forget about offering them eBooks on how to get rich using the Internet or courses on how to improve their search engine rankings. Most of them would NOT BE INTERESTED! So what do I propose you tempt them with? Let me give you a brief background of the Group in question.
This Group was started by Tom Anderson as a place for aspiring musicians and bands to share their music and concert locations. It has grown into a social networking phenomenon with over 32 million registered hipster members, IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS! News Corp's Rupert Murdoch was quick to notice. Even though there existed the traditional media's reluctance to embrace online content, the media mogul led a $580 million News Corp. buyout of the Operation. The majority of members are under 22, and website statistics show that were logging in at an average of twice a week, with a peer network consisting of an average of 68 friends. The website is the fourth most visited domain on the Internet, trailing only Yahoo!, MSN, and eBay.
Are you getting tingles of excitement yet? I did when I realized the potential to 'target' this HUGE market with a 'specific' and 'much used' product!
Up to 130,000 new members join the site every day, totaling 3 million new members per month. Offering advertisers 9.5 billion page views in June, the site recently helped launch music album world premieres from bands like Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Audioslave, and Black Eyed Peas. The Nine Inch Nails release alone resulted in a half million user streams in one week.
WHO is this Group and WHAT can YOU offer them?
The Group are all members of MySpace.com and I will be targetting them with what they REQUIRE, apart from their obvious shared music interests - CELL PHONE/MOBILE PHONE EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES!
I am making it my PERSONAL GOAL to 'hook up' with EVERY MEMBER of this Group and offer them MY DaWiz charm and convince them to PURCHASE from MY affiliate websites! Want to get YOUR SHARE of some serious action?
I have made it very easy and simple for you to do. ALL are FREE to join.
Step 1 is to sign up with MYSPACE using this link.
Step 2 is to visit my UK Website and click on the JOIN button on the top. Think up a good name for YOUR Website. Mine is dawiz-speaks.2u.co.uk
Step 3 is to sign up with LINK SHARE using this link.
Once you have opened your account, you can select whichever opportunity you care to. I selected Cellular Factory and Ringing Phone.
Set some time aside and get yourself up and running, ready for the crowds to come flocking! CELEBRATE with SUCCESS.

DaWiz DaRecess
~ A time to take a deserved break but still remain in 'learning' mode ~
Held in the Buttery - The room for service of beverages (oh goody!)
Well, after reading and hopefully actioning the above, you DEFINITELY deserve a break. I was going to tell you about the BEST webcopy I have EVER read, but I will save that for another Issue. * tease *
My offering during this recess, concerns my reasons for not EVER wanting to be referred to as a GURU. As you might recall, during your initial tour of the DOSE ACADEMY, I referred to GURU as standing for Garbage - Utter Rubbish - Useless! There was a reason for this as I will quickly explain while you drink your selected beverage and nibble on some biscuits.
The day that I was compiling that webpage, I received an email from a 'self appointed' GURU, congratulating me on 'graduating' his email course. Being otherwise occupied, and unbeknown to him, I HADN'T READ A SINGLE EMAIL THAT HE HAD SENT ME! Yet, here he was, congratulating me on successfully completing his course!
Had this person been a 'real GURU,' if there is such an animal, he would have followed up and asked for, no, DEMANDED, some feedback so he KNEW that I was reading and understanding what he was sending me! He also sent me a 'graduation gift' which I DIDN'T collect because I didn't think it was right to accept something that I didn't deserve.
He made a HUGE mistake by assuming that all was going according to HIS plan. By my reckoning, HE FAILED MISERABLY! Whatever he may have to offer me in the future, will be a waste of his effort. He has lost me FOREVER!

Jester WizTickle Moment
~ A WHOMERAZZ look at some of the 'funny' things seen on the Internet ~
Held in the Bailey (Courtyard), close to the Garderobe. (look it up *smiles*)
In this Issue of DOSE, I would like to offer some light reading material, that falls into the category of BIZZARE!
Man Pays For Night Out At Strip Club
NEW YORK - It's bad enough to rack up a $241,000 credit card
bill. It's even worse when you spend that whole 241K in one
night...at a topless club! CEO Robert A. McCormick is being
sued by American Express, for payment of disputed credit card
charges at the Manhattan club Scores. The credit card company
claims that the Savvis Inc. CEO, visited the club in October
2003 with at least three other men. However, when McCormick
received the bill, Savvis called American Express to complain
that some of the charges were fraudulent. The communications
company said its CEO disputed all but about $20,000. Scores
spokesman Lonnie Hanover said that "high rollers" spend
thousands of dollars on single bottles of champagne and tip
strippers as much as $10,000 for lap dances.
Does He Have ADD OR Need AA?
NEW ZEALAND - The Federal Magistrate's Court awarded $10,000
compensation to a fired insurance broker who repeatedly came
to work intoxicated - and had even urinated in a wastebasket.
Jirra Collings Ware claimed his workplace discriminated
against his attention deficit disorder. He admitted in court
to frequently coming back late from lunch when he drank
alcohol and had been warned not to return to work drunk.
Workplace experts warn that the court's ruling in favor of
Ware could open the gates for other employees to claim ADD
or depression in cases such as these. Ware was awarded
$10,000 compensation plus termination payments and other
costs.
Elderly Man Takes Victim For A Ride
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - This is one elderly man who should
not be driving. Ralph Parker, 93, fatally struck a pedestrian
and continued driving for three miles with the victim's body
through his windshield. He was stopped when he drove through
a toll booth on the Sunshine Skyway, and the toll taker
called police. Parker apparently suffered from dementia
because he didn't know what happened or where he was. "He may
have somewhere in his mind have realized it was a crash, but
immediately forgot about it," Traffic Homicide Investigator
Michael Jockers said. The victim, a 52-year-old man, had his
leg severed in the crash Wednesday night.
FEEDBACK/COMMENTS
There are secret rooms all throughout the DOSE Academy, as you would expect there to be in any fine castle, and all contain something a little different and are deserving of a quick viewing. They might not change every issue, but you won't know until you look. * smiles * Please feel free to visit any or all of the following. (You might get a pleasant surprise!) DOSE JOKES or try DOSE FUNNY PICTURES If you want to give your 'senses' a bit of a workout, visit DOSE OPTICAL ILLUSIONS or perhaps DOSE TRIVIA Have fun! Enjoy!

Apart from their friendship, they have ALL given me their support, guidance, encouragement and motivation to continue in my efforts on the Internet. Yes, THEY are the ones responsible for me being here. *DaWiz smiles and a tiny tear trickles down his cheek *
Following are the links to Subscribe to their Ezines. They are in alphabetical order, NOT any order of importance, as EACH is as important as the other.

~ Tracing 'once knowns,' whether they want to be found or not! ~
Held in the Solar (Private sitting room)
I don't know about you, but I often sit and wonder where certain actors, actresses, singers, etc., have disappeared to. Every once in awhile, their name shows up in a newspaper clipping or news story on TV, so I thought it might make interesting reading for you. I have devoted a separate page to this topic. Please click on the link to view the CURRENT WHERE ARE THEY NOW? page. Previous WATN pages are accessible from the current page.

Well, well, you have been working your tail off, haven't you? I am so
impressed by the settings that you have chosen. It is truly
very 'unique', to say the least. I am so impressed, but i don't want
you to get a big head on yourself, LOL. I just love your theme, and
what a wonderful way to present things. * DaWiz blushes and thanks the author *
I just
love the imaginative theme you're using. You ezine is definitely
unique. I'm sure readers get sick of the same old thing all the
time and you have something new to offer.
* DaWiz blushes again and thanks the author *
I must make one comment about the pictures on one of your humor pages - I really
liked the one with the man sitting in the van. At 1am in the morning this picture
really made me laugh out loud.
One last thing before I send this. You've found some very good resources during
your online experiences like the greeting cards and the product store.
Hope you don't mind but I've bookmarked them and will be adding some of them to my
member's area as free resources.
Bye for now and I'll be watching for my first lesson from DOSE. * DaWiz naturally gave permission after receiving such nice words. *
