As all successful Internet Marketers know, the money is in the list, so a priority for all IM beginners should be to start collecting their prospects email addresses using a “squeeze page” as soon as possible so that they can be marketed to at a later date.

For those that don’t know, a “Squeeze Page” is a simple landing page/website, which offers a free gift to a prospect in exchange for their email address. (and sometimes their name as well)  The free gift could be an eBook, a video or access to a membersite etc.

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a really cool idea to share today that could have you earning some extra dough within just a few hours.  This is a business idea I’ve been researching for a number of months and I can now safely say it works for me and will also work for you too!

After officially launching at the start of December, my little eBay business is now consistently earning me money on a daily basis from only a couple of hours work a day and best of all the products I sell, I download completely freely (and legally!) from the internet.

It’s the 2nd week in January and I’m happy to say I’m still sticking to my New Years Resolutions!

“What are they?” I hear you ask!

Well… It’s also my 30th year on this big blue marble, so such a landmark birthday deserves a landmark resolution!

In short…

I intend to make 2010 the healthiest, wealthiest year of my adult life so far!

Health wise, I’ve been attending the gym 3-4 times a week and have improved my diet considerably, as well as cutting down on my alcohol consumption, so that part gets a big tick.  I just need to keep that momentum going now!

Hi everyone,

This will be my final post of the year and it’s going to be a quick one because I know there are more important things you want to be doing right now, like wrapping presents, enjoying time with loved ones and of course eating and drinking till you can’t move!

I just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to every one of my readers and subscribers and also to all the fantastic people who I’ve met (online and off) who have helped and supported me in growing my online business, especially my fellow Marketing With Alex students. (and of course the big man himself, Alex Jeffreys!)

A picture paints a thousand words… but if you’re not careful, buying stock pictures can add up to thousands of dollars!

If you’re a blogger or web designer I’ll bet you spend a lot of time searching for low cost or free stock images to use on your blogs and websites?… I know I do.

It can be very tempting to just jump onto Google images to find what you need and save yourself a few quid, but as innocent an activity as that may seem to some, it constitutes copyright theft and will soon land you in a big pot of hot water with the law.

As previously discussed, Twitter is a fantastic way to get some free targeted traffic to your websites, but manually sending tweets on a regular basis is a time consuming and boring task!

All new tweets have an average lifespan of 10 minutes – that means your well thought out tweet will only be visible in other user’s timelines for a very short space of time.

After that, they get lost in the Twhite noise of Twitter!

It is therefore important to tweet regularly.

…or at least we will be once the hangovers subside and we all have some time to reflect on what a fantastic couple of days we had at Lee McIntryes Profit Max workshop!

Wondering what the title’s all about?  I guess you had to be there but let me just say Lee’s staff member Mark knows how to fire up the crowd – even when they have killer hangovers!

If you didn’t get the chance to attend then you missed out on a mega event – In Lee’s words… “Man Alive!”

Over the past few weeks I’ve been testing various methods to grow my Twitter following and I’ve found a load of cool tools that allow me to automate various tasks and make life easier.

At the start of August 09 I had only 45 followers and the time of writing this post, I have 3766…  That’s a lot of potential new leads, traffic and customers – all from only a few minutes work a day!

With a little effort and the use of the following tools, you can explode your followers and start using Twitter to drive traffic to your websites.

I’ve finally finished installing and tweaking my new blog… what do you think?!

My old blog theme was starting to look a bit tired, but the main reason for the change was less to do with aesthetics and more to do with function and ease of navigation.

I’d tweaked so much code in the old one, that it was also taking an age to load and certainly didn’t like me adding any plugins to it!

I’ve tried to keep it simple this time as I wanted a cleaner, less ‘busy’ look.

What a month I’ve had…

First my house was invaded by spiders – big, hairy, scary ones.

Then at least 10 wasps a day started finding their way in to terrorize me, even though I’ve had all windows and doors closed!

Now, let me just say, I’m not usually scared of any bugs, whether insect or arachnid, however there have been so many of them jumping out at me or buzzing angrily round my head, that I’ve become a little bit jumpy!

Added to that I’ve been spending a lot of time considering where my internet business is headed and what I need to change in order to become more successful.
