Internet Marketing – Is it really For you?

Danger symbol

I have just been reading a thread in which a group of marketers were talking about the realities of internet marketing compared to what people aspired to. I don’t need to tell you that there were huge differences in the 2 figures. The figures quotes had slight variations but they were all pretty similar to other stats I’ve seen 90% of people who do internet marketing earn less that $500 per month 90% of people want to earn more than  $2,500 per month (25% want more than $25,000 per month) I really find it surprising that so few people earn less than $500.  That’s $16 per … [Read more...]

The Slow Suicide Of Internet Marketing

I wrote an email to some of my subscribers this week about how I thought that Internet marketing was essentially broken. Several things have happened over the past few weeks that have made me take a long look at the IM business (Again!) and once again I don't like what I see. It seems that a lot of marketers are set on a path of self destruction.   First let me preface this by saying that I love Internet marketing, I love the fact that I can sit and my desk have an idea , create something and earn money. I love that I can find a great product write a review and make commission.  I … [Read more...]

Building a Business In 75 Minutes a Day

tem-cal-25-minutes

When I wrote last weeks post about building a business and said I would be adding videos over the coming months I thought that it was just a simple blog post. I'd based it on a few pages of notes I'd made over christmas when I looked at all my products and the blog posts i'd made over the year. With in an hour of it going live i'd had 5 emails asking me for the rest of the videos. The trouble was I hadn't recorded them so I couldn't post them. So I sat down and started to write a short 5 page outline for them. 4 days later I'd had 68 pages written and 11 videos planned.. then … [Read more...]

As this will probably be the last blog post this year  ( I may have time to do a podcast and I might pick a few choice post from the last year and publish them) I decided that I would give out some awards. I'd love to make this a tradition and you my dear reader are more than welcome to make your own nominations in the comments area. You'll be glad to know that in the tradition of the best awards presentations I am sat here in my tuxedo and bow tie, looking like a slightly overweight James Bond. Let me just state that these award are based solely on my own personal views and so will … [Read more...]

Affiliate Marketing – Earning Commission From Free Reports

Affiliate marketing lifetime cookies

For a long time I've wanted to reward affiliates for giving away free reports. The usual way of doing it is to set up separate reports with separate affiliate links and separate squeeze pages. Even after all that hard work the affiliate won't make any commission on future sales. However that has now changed. My ideal scenario is... The affiliate sends his subscribers or readers to my free report.  They then join my list and somewhere down the line after they have seen the value in what I teach and show them they buy a product.  The original affiliate then earns … [Read more...]

What Are Your Plans For Next Year?

Plans for 2013

This blog post is going to be shorter than normal today as i've been writing non stop for 9 hours finishing off a book.   It always amazes me how much I can get done when psyche myself up and lock myself away and get rid of all distractions. I was so psyched up this mooring I came back from having a shower singing Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to work we go!  (sadly thats not a Joke!)   The Post  might be short but there is an amazing prize to be won.   On with the sizzle   Assuming that the Mayan calendars are incorrect and the world isn't going to end on … [Read more...]

Let’s Start An Internet Marketing Revolution

revolution (2)

Free is good…. Isn't it?   I'll get straight to the point, last week I created a new report called 500 Buyers. I initially intended to charge for it but for various reasons I decided to release it for free.   Now the funny thing is that some of my fellow marketers who read it called me an idiot for not charging for it… not sure if thats a good thing or not!   Others wanted to know if I was trying to start a revolution…. Hell Yes!   I want the Revolution to start here and now   I want to take the current IM market and shake some sense … [Read more...]
