PlproductReviews.com is a brainchild of the new GURU in the block, Anik Singal. The site sells private label product reviews to those who make a living off affiliate sales referrals. The way this works is that an individual pays a monthly fee of $47.00 and receives 10 reviews per product with 10 Niches per month. The end result is 100 articles per month at 47.00.

On the surface, it looks like a helpful service as most individuals that work in affiliate sales do it as a sideline to their true nine to five job. They do not have time to write exclusive product reviews, nor do they have the time to pay someone to do it. Even if they did, they would have to pay a minimum of five dollars per review as opposed to the forty-seven cents that PLP offers. Oh, Anik claims it would take $5000 of your money and $50,000 of his writing these articles personally, because he estimates his time to be worth $500/hour and the average Joe’s worth $50/hour. Don’t fall for the hype.

Don’t panic. I can’t think of a topic too. So, I decided to write a solution to the problem traditionally called “The Writer’s Block”. I am not going to bore you with a long lecture, instead let the picture speak 10,000 words.

Walk away and thou shalt find thy inspiration in nature!

AKA “the Goldilocks Disease”

Have you ever wondered why your preschooler is not hungry at mealtime? Have you felt a sudden “let-down” about two hours after breakfast of cereal with banana and milk and a glass of fruit juice? Do you need/use coffee to keep you alert throughout the day? Do you know people who do NOT need to use coffee to stay awake and alert? Have you ever wondered if that let-down feeling is normal?

One of the first things I tell people who are newly diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes or with pre-diabetes is to avoid fruit juice completely. Their response is generally something like “I thought fruit juice was good for me.”
