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.

My Resolutions And Goals For 2010

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!

Merry Christmas & A Happy, Prosperous New Year!

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!)

Spiders, Wasps + Web Marketing = Stress!

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.

The Big Online Secret Revealed…

How many times have you seen this kind of attention grabbing headline?

“Internet Marketing Secrets Revealed – What the Gurus don’t want you to know!”

If you’re anything like me, then you’ll have definitely kept on reading, in the hope that you’ve finally discovered the Big Online Secret to overnight success.

I will bet you’ve even went on to buy some of those products, just as I have.

Did they deliver?

Many times I’ve been sucked in by this type of hype filled marketing and I know I’m not alone.

This isn’t something that happens over night regardless of some of the hype filled sales pages we see all over the net; it is something that takes time, effort, patience and more often than not, a great deal of investment, trial and error followed by failure.  99% of people who set out to make an online income will fail; FACT.  So how does the fortunate 1% succeed with such odds stacked against them?  Are they just lucky?… Of course not.  In fact the secret behind most successful marketers is that they have Mentors that teaches them their proven methods and show them exactly how to put them into practice.

Just a quick post to let you know about a fantastic resource I’ve stumbled across that can help you start making money from your own Google Adsense website in no time at all and best of all, it’s free!

If you don’t know much about Adsense or setting up your own website, don’t worry… this package comes with all the tutorials you’ll need to get started so is ideal for beginners.

So What Exactly Is Internet Marketing?

This might seem like a daft question to pose, however it is a term that is bandied about among many webmasters and is never actually defined or explained so I’d like to address that right now by providing a concise guide.

When I first started looking into the possibilities of making money through the internet, I frequently read articles that referred to Internet Marketing (IM), however all the articles were on completely unrelated topics so I was left very confused.

The simplest definition I can give is, “Internet Marketing is the promoting and selling of products or services over the internet to generate income.”
