Marketing with Alex Jeffreys Mentor Coaching Program
By Alan | July 7, 2009
Last night was the first session of Alex Jeffrey’s coaching program. Alex was on for over 2 hours and he’s laid out an excellent plan for getting focused and organized.
When I told IM friends that I was taking Alex’s coaching programs they were a bit puzzled since I’ve been working full-time online for 2 years now and I’ve already created several of my own information products. But I felt that although I’m truly blessed that I’ve had enough success to get this far, I needed help to get me to the next level.
When looking at other successful Internet marketers they all have participated in multiple high-priced coaching/mentor programs (either one-on-one or in group setting like this one). I’ve never taken part in a coaching program so I figured the time was right.
I took the same approach I would take to find any expert to help me out. If I want to hire a personal trainer to work out with that person better be in better shape than me. 
Same thing with an IM mentor/coach. Needless to say Alex is very succesful and is closing in on a million dollars online so I figured this would be a great first coaching program for me.
I’ll keep you posted how things are going with the coaching program. Although Alex’s coaching program is now closed I would recommend you keep an eye out for these type of coaching programs. It would be a better route than continuously buying all those ebooks and courses out there that claim to hold the key to making big money online.

List Building with eBay and PLR: Video Case Study
By Alan | June 16, 2009
I’ve been blogging about Socrates Socratous eBay Lead Generation System blue print for the last week. You can read that post here: List Building with eBay. I was so excited at the possibilities of implementing this list building model that I had to take action. My plan is to run an eBay classified ad for an e-book to build my list and make some cash during the process following Socrates blue print. I’ll be using a PLR product from Resell Rights Fortune. And I’ve decided to document the entire process from beginning to end. I’ve started on June 15th and I have 3 videos posted so far. I’ve setup a special page where you can watch over my shoulder as I build a list from scratch using eBay classified ads. You can watch those videos here: List Building with eBay Classified Ads. The entire case study is for free. I’m not even asking for your email address which is a bad list-build move.

Snowflake USB Mic Review & Demo [Video]
By Alan | June 7, 2009
In my quest to improve the audio quality of my videos I ordered the Snowflake USB Mic from the Blue Microphones folks. And I’m impressed! But what better way to review the Snowflake USB mic than doing a side by side audio comparision so you can hear it yourself! The audio in the begining of this video is from the internal mic of my MacBookPro lapop, the second part is with the Snowflake USB mic…
I also recorded a video when I first got the Snowflake USB mic in the mail, what can I say, I’m a video recording geek…

3 Things Needed for Internet Marketing Success
By Alan | June 2, 2009
If you’ve been trying to make money online for longer than a nano second I’m sure you’re aware that Internet marketing has a pretty steep learning curve. There is so much to learn… how to create a website, how to FTP, how to write articles, how to do PPC, how to add pictures and graphics, and on and on. The good news is that you can and will learn all these things, but there are three components you really need to learn about for your Internet marketing business to succeed. Without all three of these, you won’t be as successful as you could be. You might make sales, but not near the number you could be making.
1. You have to be trustworthy.
If your website screams “Buy, buy, buy!” and you don’t give them good content and show that you know what you’re talking about, they probably won’t trust you or buy from you. If your site is one big walking, talking ad with the maximum number of AdSense ads, promotion pitch after promotion pitch, and banners stuck all over the place, potential customers are going to run the other way. They need to trust you before they offer you their credit card info. Take a look at your site through the customer’s eyes and see what they see. Pull back on the AdSense, banner ads, etc. and make it a classy website. Be in this business for the long haul, not the short gain.
2. You have to offer value.
Internet users are becoming a lot more savvy. We now have the first generation of people who grew up with the Internet and what they (and all us) are looking for online is value. So start with giving away something free, like a report, in exchange for their opting in to your list. But make sure that report contains valuable information not just bunk. One of the best compliments I get is when someone reads one of my free reports or a blog post or perhaps they watch one of my videos and they contact me and say, wow, that’s better than some of the information I’ve paid for!
Think about it, that’s your first chance to show off what you know and offer incredible value. You might argue that “free” doesn’t mean you have to give something valuable, but I disagree. How would it make you feel if a carpet cleaning company who wants your business came out and cleaned one of your rooms for free, and did a lousy job? Do you want to purchase from them?
After they’re on your list, continue to send them free valuable info. Perhaps a well-researched article or short PDF will make them open their eyes to just how much information you know. The next product you produce and promote and over-deliver on will entice your “free” customers to become paying customers again and again.
3. You need traffic.
This can be tough obstacle for any new marketer to overcome. Getting quality traffic can be daunting. Getting the site up is actually the easy part. You can put together the most valuable, crazy, insane offer ever, but if no one knows about it, you won’t make those sales you’re dreaming of. Make a point of studying how to get traffic a priority. Research all the avenues of increasing your traffic and take action. Invest in a course if need be – it’s that important to get traffic. Of course it should be targeted traffic, not just any old traffic. You want people who are looking for what you’ve got; they’re more likely to turn into buyers.
There are no guarantees that you will be wildly successful with Internet marketing, but if you spending time on these three components, you stand a good chance of getting results you can be happy with.
