I ran across a couple sites that have a bunch of free stuff for your design needs.  check these out.  If you know of any, let me know.

• Creative MYK Free Christian photos and church graphics.  If you do any church marketing or christian marketing for that matter, this is a great resource.

  High resolution brushes.  My only problem is keeping track of them all.

• The Ultimate Collection Of Useful Photoshop Actions
  These are multi step processes in photoshop that you can have photshop repeat.

• 208 Retro Photoshop Patterns Link name kind of says it all

I am trying to mix up long tutorials with shorter posts.  Lets see how it works.  If you find any of this useful or you have a favorite resource, leave a comment.

I wanted to find out how to get a free notebook computer?  This is not a how to article.  The title is a real question.  I need a new notebook and I am determined to get one without paying for it.  I don’t know exactly how that is going to happen yet, but it will.

This may sound stupid to some, but I am now praying that God will show me a way to do it.  Could I just go buy one?  Sure.  But money is often tight for my family.  I have a wife, two kids, a mortgage, and Monster costs.

Besides coming up with ways to get a free one sounds a whole lot more fun.  So here are the top ways online I have found to get a real free laptop!

1. There was a similar question asked at Yahoo Answers (I miss Google answers by the way).
   A guy named “Smokin Joe” answered

   start burglarizing houses, you are bound to find one. Good luck with that.

2. Sell everything. Move to Africa. Qualify for that $100 laptop project thing. People buy the laptops for a hundge and donate them to the charity. Not sure this is the best idea though.
3. Start a tech blog and have a company give you one to review.  This could be a good long term strategy.
4. Enter one of the many blog contests that is giving one away.  I think most of these giveaways are rigged personally. http://tinyurl.com/3jlz62
5. 
   Believe it or not these things work.  <– That is not a link by the way.  Just a graphic.  I did this three times.  Got the cash twice and got an ipod once.  If you have the traffic, you might as well.

In the end, I think a contest is going to be my best bet.  You might think I am crazy, but I think my new laptop is on the way.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen!

To all my readers I wanted to let you know that Christian Affiliate Marketing has moved.  I originally wanted to use this domain to create a directory of Christian affiliate offers and tack a blog on a folder.

In the end, I could not find enough offers to warrant this and the domain name was too specific for the blog I wanted to create.

This blog is now going to be rebranded as The Affiliate Preacher, Encouraging Internet Entrepreneurs.

The new address for the site is http://www.affiliatepreacher.com/

I have some great articles in the works I know you won’t want to miss.  I have already begun a series on driving traffic.  So come on by and join in the discussion!
