Hi All,
Each and everyday I am reminded by many of you that things are not as easy as they sound and that you have a big list so you’re set like the guys in this video. To an extent that is true but I too started out with a list of zero customers and had to work hard to get there. It’s not just about knowing what to do because it’s pretty easy to find out what to do on the net these days. It’s a wealth of information.
However - What you need to start any business or even any adventure is the actual will to do it. Like Nike says ‘Just Do It’ and I cannot express enough how important this is. Hey, you will fail at some things but that stops you doing the same thing twice. But, you will also win at many things and this is what makes it all worth it.
So, in the video you will get an excited Tony Robbins telling John Reese and Frank Kern what it takes to succeed in life and in business. These guys sit there and even they look bewildered by the sheer enthusiasm and positive vibes that Tony throws out.

In the mean time I wish you all the possible success you can take

How well do you know your competitors and your industry? Do you know your customers intimately?
NO!
This could be destroying your chances of making a profit or at worst any money at all. So where do you start and what should you do to get to know all 3 areas?
Did you know that very few people who start an online business actually know what their customers want, who the competitors are and what or wher the industry is all about. This is why so many are set up to fail from the outset because they are trying to sell something to people that they know zip about.
It gets boring saying this sometimes but I say it again - RESEARCH is key to your success. You will find more and better ideas for new products or improve on your current offering. It will help you make better decisions about where to take your online business and what sells better and for how much. Yes, that’s right, your customers will let you know how much they are willing to pay for your product or service. A perceived value if you like.
Do a SWOT research exercise on yourself by asking your customers what your strengths are, what your weaknesess’ are, your oppotunities in the future for new ideas and products and above all threats to you losing them as a loyal customer.
Ideas I have come across have been upgrades to my ebooks for half the price of the normal edition. Offer more content and updated information but at half the price for current customers. Brand new ideas driven by demand of my customers. I changed a whole launch campaign based on what my customers told me. I have changed the way i commercially market a product i.e pay monthly instead of upfront on high end products. Offer options.
Follow up and ask your customers who made purchases what they thought about your product. Offer them an incentive to do so.
Why do we do all this????
For your customers - The ultimate satisfaction of all who are a member of your list or those who have invested in your product or service.
So, where do you find out about your industry and competitors? The best spot is to type in your top 5 keywords from your research into Google and see who pops up. Also go to forums for your industry and see who is at the top of the game here. What prices are being charged, are they charging or offering free content on a site they use to create advertising content. Facebook makes all their cash from advertising on a site that offers a free service to people. Same goes for YouTube and MySpace.
So… Do you know what you will chnage today about your online business strategy? If anything…
See you soon

Have you ever looked at an ad in the local press and noticed the similar layout to that of a sales page on the Internet.
They both start with a HEADLINE that is there to capture the attention of the reader and of course at the very top of the ad or sales page. No bigger than 18pt.
Then a SUB-HEADLINE which is not always used but is there to provide more detail on the actual product/s and i would use 14pt.
Copy or Content or also know as the BODY which should always be in a type face that is easy to read and scan through. This is where you need to state the features of the product and benefits of each feature. Probably in 11 or 12pt. Remember, FEATURES tell and BENEFITS sell.
Include a VISUAL which can be a picture of the product. This is not essential especially in small printed ads or classifieds. A visual should also include a caption over the picture or along side or below. Wherever it looks best. With the webpage example this would be a jpg and named.
If you have a recognised LOGO or are promoting a brand then include this too.
Always sign off with your SIGNATURE or NAME whether it be yours or the company name and any slogan like Coca Cloa does, as in ‘Coke Is IT!’ This depends on your product but don’t be too smart here and dream up crazy slogans.
Fonts are optional but be careful not to use weird fonts or typefaces. I prefer Verdana and Ariel. Some will say always use times roman. Either way these are simple and easy to read.
Finally, always remember to identify the problem you are trying to solve before splashing out on expensive advertising and time. This will ensure greater success.
See you again soon,
Ashley Banfield
PS. A.I.D.A stands for Attention - Interest - Desire - Action and this is how your ad or copy should be based. Grab the readers attention with the headline, gain their interest with the features, make it desirable with the benefits and a call to action - This can be done with limited time offers etc.
Online Marketing is not to distant from what we do in the organic world of business. In fact, you should be using most of the methods online as you do off - It’s just that there are technical capabilities to be aware of online which include backlinks etc.
But, what I want to make sure you do is take care of your customers first and think about how to do this technically online once you have this 100% in place.
Are you talking to your customers? When i get orders from customers I also ask many of them why they chose me over all the competition. Most answer, it’s because I kept in touch on a regular basis and offered help and support when ever needed without ever complaining. They even share ideas with me for other products. Nice
Are you saying thanks to your customers? An ideal time is at the end of the year. I do this all the time and sometimes get a thanks back.
Do you ask your customers to pass on your details and website to other friends for discounted ‘mates rates’? This works well if you can sell a product to a friend of a customer for 25% or so less and offer your customer a free product for the help. They do occasionally turn into ongoing affiliates.
Are you being professional or do you get caught up in the slang and jargon of your vertical market? Remember most of your customers are at your site for research so please, don’t use jargon.
Are you focused on the needs of your customers? If you try pushing products to your potential customers which are not relevant to your site then they will leave and unsubscribe.
Do you ask your customers who leave your list what made them leave? Have you offered an incentive to stay. Maybe a sample of your products for free to ensure they know exactly how good you are.
Customers are your income. Without them your website will never be a business. Treat them well and give them what they want and sell them what they need.
Take care and happy hunting
Ashley Banfield
As you may know by now I am not a fan of creating a product and then trying to find people to buy the product. I prefer to do it the other way around, find the customers and buyers and then produce a product I know they are looking for or need.
In short - Find a demand and offer supply.
Marketing experts are all agree that you need to know your customer/s. This includes knowing how they think, what it is that they like and what they are willing to pay or their perception of the value of your product or service.
Once you know this then you are going to know how to communicate to your customer the right way. Customers like you and I buy with emotion but also look at the purchase in a more rational way. For example, when buying a car you look at the sports car in red with a big fat engine and loud CD palyer but once you settle down and realise it only has two seats and the petrol is going to cost a fortune you then settle for the rational decision. Yes, you still buy a car but the one that made sense after you researched the market.
So, you need to know what customers think of you and your products. To do this you will need to survey your customers or prospects and we do this on forums or blogs etc. Start asking questions within your chosen market place - Survey the people on these sites and you will soon get to know what makes them tick.
Always be yourself on these forums as this is what will bring people to you or away from you. You don’t want a list of customers who are not willing to buy from you. People buy from people and a lot can be assumed in emails or on forums.
There is a whole lot more to this and I have included a whole chapter on this in my Home Study Guide for Staring and Online Business. It contains detailed step by step instructions on how to start an online business and market it correctly to the world.
Until next time

Hello and welcome back,
How has the year been so far for you? We are now heading towards the fourth month of 2009 and I hope you are getting to your goals. Personally mine have exceeded my first expectations and now I am starting to gear up for the next xhange in the global market downturn.
That’s right - I am now preparing for the rise while all others are still buried in the so called depressive state of the world and how bad it seems to be. What I am doing is getting prepared to act and act fast when the market turns - Not when the market turns as like many others you will be left counting the particles of dust left behind by the forward thinkers.
So, what should you be doing?
Myself, I am putting the final touches to some great material that you will be able to use for your online business both before the new spike and during the new upward trend. It will enable you to punce faster and better than any other online business owner beacuse you will have already done the research and prep which takes up most of the time getting started on a new product.
While the market is a little slow get yourself up and moving. this is the time to work the hardest so when the money starts to pour back in you are ready to take your vacation to the tropical paradise you dreamed of and not to the bank asking or even begging for money.
Take a look at my site and other posts here in my blog for more serious tips on becoming financially free.
To your future
Ashley Banfield
All,
I had to post this on my blog. It’s a great way to re-look at the world you live in and start making the changes TODAY. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42E2fAWM6rA
Ashley Banfield has launched how to start an online business with montoring.
Hi again budding entrepreneurs,
It’s no secret that we are in rough times and the journey ahead is not looking much better for the next 12-18 months at least. But there is something you can do about it.
Will you act during the economic downturn, or simply REACT?
Don’t let fear of the recession guide your goal setting plans for 2009. This is a BIG mistake…! Fear is an emotional response, only good for short-term survival.
When you’re in “fight or flight” mode, you’re not thinking clearly about the path you’re running… You’re just RUNNING!
So your efforts lack strategy, planning, and insight. I want you to do more than just survive 2009 and here’s why…
…Internet shopping is predicted to hit $145.1 Billion in the coming year, a significant 14% increase — despite the recession!
Consumers will be spending more time at home, using their computers for everything from bargain hunting and product research to upgrading skills.
Studies show this shift is ALREADY well underway…!
I don’t want the Big “R” to stop you from pursuing exciting personal, financial, and business goals in 2009, so I’ve arranged to get you exclusive VIP access to an important video that Internet marketing guru Derek Gehl just put up on his site.
Derek’s been successfully selling on the Internet for over a decade now, and he’s brought in over $100 MILLION in sales…
… so he’s by far the BEST person to advise you about how to thrive in ANY market.
When you watch his FREE Goal Setting Video, you’ll discover how you can make 2009 your richest year yet:
http://www.internetmarketing.com/2009-goals/1253974
Wishing you health, wealth, and happiness in 2009!
Ashley Banfield
P.S. Derek’s also going to be hosting a FREE Webinar in the
first week of January to help everyone kick-off their New
Year’s goals with a bang.
You can register for it here:
http://www.internetmarketing.com/2009-goals/1253974
P.P.S I have recently released my Online Business Home Study Guide which has a specific focus on how to start an online business the right way so go ahead and check it out. While you’re there be sure to get my free newsletter and other free downloads.
So does this mean you should be running scared in 2009?
Far from it! What you should be doing is working out how to start your own online business because little known to those that care, online sales have increased so much that the high street is getting less trade and in 2009 online sales are expected to increase well beyond 10%, in fact expectations are closer to 15% on 2008.
See you all again in 2009. Until then, have a safe and Happy Christmas and enjoy the holidays.

And This Is Just The Beginning
Now let me share something that might surprise you:
I am even going to include a DVD of the day that I put on a seminar so you can get all the little tips I give away at these events. Believe me, when I start talking nothing can stop me.
Are you ready to start? Are you ready to begin on your road to riches and independence with no worries about bills ever again?
Personal Mentoring From Me To Get You Started
I’ve learned a thing or two about people over my business career.
One thing I’ve learned is that we often need HELP getting started with new projects, new methods, and new systems.
Another thing I’ve learned is that it takes more than doing something ONCE to turn it into a HABIT that will serve you for a lifetime.
Finally, I’ve learned that sometimes we need a little extra “push” of inspiration and accountability… because even though we know WHAT to do… and HOW to do it… we just can’t motivate ourselves to take consistent ACTION.
So I’ve decided to add 4 weeks of personal training to the Home Study Program.
Why Do I Do This For You?
Simple: EXECUTION and ACCOUNTABILITY.
How many courses have you purchased that have sat on the shelf unused?
How many times have you spent money going to a seminar, but then lost the “fire” when you got home, and didn’t wind up implementing what you learned?
Well I will NOT ACCEPT THAT. In fact, I’m going to make SURE you execute and implement what you learn, even if I have to bribe you to do it!
The 4 weeks of follow-up training is your path to action. It’s the reinforcement you’ll need to make sure you actually DO EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE included in the program.
We’re going to target your market together, we’re going to identify hidden motivators in your prospects, and we’re going to create offers that generate huge amounts of leads. In short, I’m going to keep you ON TRACK.
Keys To Success
This key aspect of success is actually your BELIEFS about success.
If you are surrounded by unsuccessful people, and you interact with unsuccessful people, your mind will become PROGRAMMED with the beliefs that lead to… you guessed it… NO SUCCESS.
On the other hand, if you surround yourself with successful people (or what I call “models of success”), and you let THOSE ideas and beliefs into your mind, you’ll begin to become programmed with the ideas that will lead to success.
Sure, there are a TON of “step-by-step marketing and business techniques” in the world today but little direction on how to use them.
But the IMPORTANT part… again… is that listening to successful people as they describe their beliefs and thought process works on a MUCH deeper level. And you’ll notice that a large part of my focus is DRAWING OUT those beliefs that support massive success.
It’s a critical part of your business success formula. Think like you are a SUCCESS
So let’s get down to the nitty gritty…
Click the highlighted text and take a closer look
THIS CAN NEVER BE REPEATED - £37 FOR EVERYTHING - Normally £147
Be quick to ensure you get the mentoring as I may have to stop this due to having only 24 hours in a day

I bet you that you are wondering how to get better results from Adwords.
Here are 2 tips that you can start applying today to fine tune your campaigns and boost your income.
What is key here is the basis of your whole online business?
Firstly identify a problem, and then supply the solution!
I think I actually mention this crucial part around 6-7 times in my new online business guide before page 35.
Why? It’s very important, and if you get this part wrong you will simply be another statistic who thinks Internet Marketing is a waste of time and effort.
Let me pass on some tips for your new adwords campaign.
Tip 1: Keywords
Your campaign should begin with at least 100 keywords that are relevant to your business and products. Relevent meaning if it’s about weight loss then use weight loss or fat loss for example.
You should be able to do this standing on your head, In fact, the majority of businesses I deal with start in the range of 1,000 plus keywords and end up with more than 3,000.
With tools like Wordtracker and Google’s Keyword Tool, you don’t have to come up with the keywords on your own. All you have to do is identify a core list of initial keyword ideas around your product and then let technology do the rest. Do not be afraid to use technology to help you out once you have learned the basics.
Not everyone of these keywords are going to make you money, in fact few will and this is why your research is paramount. So often I hear from people about their website failing. It’s because you are not using the correct keywords from the very start. It’s your map if you like for people to find your site. If it’s wrong then they will not find you. EVER.
Tip 2: Always test
When you first start your PPC campaigns, you should be writing at least three to five different ads for each keyword group.
Note: a “keyword group” is a cluster of closely related keywords that say exactly the same thing, in slightly different ways. Again, in my new guide you will get all the documents I use to research along with step by step how to use.
For example, a keyword group for a site promoting fat burning fat loss foods could include:
|
best fat burning foods how best fat burning foods what are best fat burning foods which fat burning foods |
fat loss foods fat loss eating how fat loss fat loss help what is fat loss |
fat burning foods foofs for fat burning weight loss fat foods burning fat and weight loss burning foods |
… and so on.
Once you’ve written your three plus ads for your keyword group, run them all at the same time. Keep them going until you get enough impressions to determine which one is the best. Then use that ad.
Now, continue testing to get better results than the great ad and create an amazing ad with amazing income. Don’t just start a campaign and then when it fails just give up. Test and try new keywords from your research. Try ads with prices in or even point them to your newsletter where they may decide to trust you as they get to know you. Not all people buy in the same way.
So there it is! Two tips you can apply today. If you are already doing all of these, then well done. In my new book I dedicate a whole section to adwords and many other ways to get it RIGHT first time.
I hope that has helped you out a little today. This is the type of information you get for free when you subscribe to my list which can be done via my website. My new home study guide will hit the net soon. Sorry for the delay but it’s not perfect at the moement and some small changes and updates have been added.
Take care

I had to add this post to my blog by John Reese. As you will read the death of IM is a just not going to happen…
…But There’s A Much More ‘Poisonous’ Message About Internet Marketers That Needs To Be Addressed
I’m so sick and tired of the anti-marketing attitudes of writers, pundits, and others on the Internet. It’s been going on since the Web started to take off in 1994/1995.
So many of these people make it out like all Internet-based marketers are only selling scammy, rip-off garbage. And while the Internet is certainly filled with all kinds of jackasses that spam and abuse every known online service and tool there is, not enough ‘credit’ is given to marketers (like me and most of my customers) that have great marketing and success online and do things the RIGHT way.
And not enough credit and attention is given to the fact that if it wasn’t for Internet marketers there would be no Internet or Web 2.0 as it is today.
MONETIZATION IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE INTERNET.
Without all of the affiliate marketers, affiliate merchants, small bloggers, advertising networks, marketers buying PPC traffic, and everything else that is a part of the “Internet Economy” 99% of what’s on the Web today would not exist.
So for Mark, and any others that seem to take this anti-marketing attitude, the next time you cash your paycheck you should take a moment to realize it wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the very marketers that create and sustain the economy of the Web.
Heck, just take a look at many of the ways that the Mashable blog is able to generate revenue — many of those programs and networks only exist because of marketer activity.
So if you kill all the Internet marketers, YOU KILL THE INTERNET.
As far as the spammy and abusive marketers go, it’s unfortunate and it pollutes the Web. Thankfully, the Internet has this great darwinism effect where those that don’t provide value end up getting destroyed. Junk and scammy crap will always end up in FAILURE. The ‘problem’ is that so many new junk peddlers take the place of the old ones.
This is another common anti-marketing attitude that has existed online for ages. So many people are put off by marketing or promotion for anything to do with “making money.” Even, though, there are hundreds if not thousands of fantastic products on the subject that are truly helping people.
To realize this, I only have to take a look at the success stories created by my own teachings and what they’ve done for thousands of individuals and their families.
Are there tons of people peddling utter garbage and worthless “I’ll show you how to press a big red button and get rich” crap online? Unfortunately, YES.
But to stereotype anyone and everyone that publishes or provides marketing or business advice is PATHETIC. And that is primarily what happens when it comes to the anti-marketing attitude.
A Quiet Revolution Is Forming
These anti-marketing folks need to realize something…
The world is changing quickly. Economies are evolving. More and more people around the globe are realizing the benefits of having their own business online. The ‘marketing’ uses of the Internet are only going to GROW. And it’s actually going to make the Internet even STRONGER and more developed. As the needs to increase monetization are created it will spawn more innovation online.
The survival of Ideas, Sites, Services, and Companies on the Web are ALL dependent upon the activity from Internet marketers. I just wish more people would start to realize it.
* I would like to encourage my fellow Internet marketers to spread the word about this post. Thank you.
I hope you enjoyed this post.

Hello,
Just to let you know that my Online Business Home Study guide is on it’s way. An one stop shop for all you need to start an online business without the BS.
Ashley Banfield
I’d like to draw your attention to some remarkable claims that I get to hear a lot from my list of cutomers and in forum and blogs around the place.
I am still amazed that budding entrepreneurs are still getting sucked into the scams that claim you can be a Millionaire in a few short weeks and with little work. I want you to sit up straight and if you have a mirror look into it and say out loud while looking yourself in the eyes;
“I will be a Millionaire in 10 weeks time without having to work for it”
Did you see how silly you looked and how stupid it sounded? That’s because the only way you can do that is by winning the Lotto. FACT. Unless of course you have a rich relative or marry a Millionaire.
Entrepreneurs are unique from most people because they tend to follow a dream and believe me they dream alot. Having dreams and striving to get them to eality is what drives us on. When things get difficult or tough or even if we have failed or made a huge mistake we learn from them.
You must persue your dream of becoming financially independent or whatever it may be. Are you persuing your dream or are you still just dreaming?
An entrepreneur never ever ever gives up on his/her dream.
BUT. There are some things you ned to take into account when persuing your dream and that is some sort of structure.
What is your vision? Are you starting to live that vision? What I mean by this is have you imagined in your mind that you are going to be wealthy. What house you long to live in, which car will you be driving and where will you be going on holiday? Think like an entrepreneur and talk like one. Mix with similar people who all have dreams of greatness.
Commiment is essential when you are persuing your dreams. You need to know that you will have to work hard at achieving success and realising your dreams. That’s why you are an entrepreneur. You are the one who will be slogging away trying to get to the next step in your bid to live your dream. I constantly work 16-17 hours per day persuing my dreams. I have more than one to keep me busy.
One is to transform the way making money online is taught in the UK. In my opinion it’s all gone a little stale. The same old faces telling the same old story over and over again and sucking money from your pocket for little in return.
IT”S SHOCKING!!
Making money online is being mis-represented in the UK as the easy way to cash in on other suckers. Well, it’s over now. I intend to do my best to make sure that people who are looking to make money online get the real story and know what they need to do to be a success.
Take Action - As I have said, you will get nothing back if you put nothing in. Simple as that my friends. I don’t mean take action by starting some online business for the sake of it. I mean getting passionate about something you believe in. Create something that is useful and not some crap you want to sell off clickbank that’s already been run ragged. All you have to do is hit the big fat GO button and get stuck in. Take action and something will happen.
ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS
Get results - If you are not selling then find out why? Do tests and see if little changes to your mindset or product can help. Set yourself some realistic goals that are achievable. Start off small. Get to the 5,000 mark, then the 10k then 50k and so on. Before you know it you will be well on your to making a lot of money online.
Get your product right, the pricing, the format - DVD, CD, EBOOK or whatever it is you use. Get to know your customers and find out what they prefer.
Decide on your strategy and decide how you will get to see your dreams in reality.
You need to make things happen - Build a plan for your first month income, one for the next 6 and then one for the year. Strive towards achiveing that gincome goal from your online business. Entrepreneurs never think smal. YOU must think BIG and push yourself beyond your comfort zones.
REWARD yourself when you reach this goals. Take a holiday or even go for a big celebration dinner. These are the times you will cherish the most. I remember my first sale off the Internet. I went and spent the whole 29 pounds on a slap breakfast at a local cafe. Nothing flash I know, but someone else paid for that breakfast. It was a proud day I can tell you that.
Find the time - Starting an online business will take time from you. At least 10-15 hours a week needs to be spent on this just to build some mementum to get traction othewise you will sit and spin and get nowhere. Ever heard the saying, I travelled a million miles but got nowhere?
Care about what you produce - Please do not create junk or crap that will not help anyone and in turn will not make you a penny. Care about your customers and always return calls and emails. You may just learn something.
CARE ABOUT YOURSELF. Don’t burn yourself out. Maintain a constant acceptable pace that will let you also enjoy family life and friends.
Learn to trust your GUT FEEL - This is always your initial instinct that in most cases is right. Listen to your instincts as they will help protct you from making silly decisions. Just like buying a course for thousands that offers little in return.
Always be willing to LEARN from each and every experienc you see or hear. Learn from others and learn from your instinct.
Reduce your RISK - Do this by making sure you do your research up front. Find out who is also in your market place and check out what solutions they offer before jumping in and losing face and money.
With this said it can be tough to let go of a product you thought would be interesting. It may just be that from your research this product has been over sold already and you may have to step back and start again. This is one of the toughest parts of starting out. Making the tough decisions and trusting your instinct will be worth it in the long run.
When checking out the competition take a look at what they do and if you think you can really do it much better then go for it. Oinch ideas and build on them. Turn them into a worth while solution. Somebody may have a great piece of software out there that they have no idea on how to promote. Set up a JV and you too could make a fortune from someone elses ideas.
DREAMS - Without them it’s going to be hard to an online business because without a dream you have no passion. You must do something you are oing to enjoy. It’s no use trying to sell something online that you find boring. You have to be pasionate about your product and ideas and believe in them.
Many self made multi millionaires have the same thought process and the same beliefs for sucess in business whether on or off line.
Online is where it is going to be and now is the time to get started so you are established when the Internet really takes off and you will have a good name built up over the next 2-3 years.
So please, don’t just buy some rubbsih just because it sounds good. Don’t just buy off some GURU because he has many followers who I call wasters. Wasters because they spend most of their time just reading emails from these guys and buy all the crap that they never use. They go on forums and pretend to be experts but offer very little. Hey, anyone can copy text from an ebook and use it to answer questions on forums.
There are a lot ofso called gurus offering the same stuff and promoting each other. Make sure you follow your own passions and instincts and firstly establish what you are passion about and how you are going to promote and produce your products.
Starting an online business is not what I would call hard but it is going to burn you up alive if you get it wrong. Get it wrong from the outset and you will lose lot’s of money and time.
I teach you all you need to know to get started and to grow your online business but essentially you are going to produce the products, content, commitment, passion, time, care, determination, confidence, drive, ambition and all in all the entrepreneurship that simply cannot be taught.
The rest is what I will teach you.

Here is a taste of what you will be getting:
So, think hard about if this is for you. Are you prepared to work hard for a great oppurtinity and are you hungry for success and financial independance?

Working from home has so many benefits over working at an office or a factory or wherever it is you travel to each day to earn a buck or two.
Now, I want to stress that making money from an online home business can be done from anywhere on the planet so long as you have an Internet connection and your trusted Laptop. Not just from your home. It’s totally mobile and can go with you where ever you decide to roam.
Sure, you may not want to take your business with you on holiday but I bet once you are up and running that you are going to be checking your sales almost every hour like I did when I first started out. It’s addictive to say the least especially when you find that there are 20 sales worth 2,000 pounds or more sitting in your account all while you snoozed or cooled off in the pool.
The reason I am talking about a home business today is that I do get asked if I get to take holidays as I always seem to be working.
Yes I do take holidays. In fact I took over 5 last year and am about to set off to Tuscany in Italy for a week to spend my birthday relaxing. Will I check my sales online? Yes I will, but, I have a Blackberry device that tells me automatically so I can check any time. It’s good to know how much is going into the account that day so I can control what my lovely partner decides to spend.

Working from home gives you amazing freedom. We are about to get our first dog together and there will be lot’s of training to do. Being at home allows me to do this and spend more time with family.
I take care of my grandparents as they are getting a little older now and I get the occassional call to go help them out. Fortunately I can just drop everything to help them and make sure they are happy.
Have you got kids at home? Would you like to spend more quality time with them? I bet you would.
What about the extra income? What will you do with the extra 100 or so? More holiday’s, a better car, bigger house or a place in the country or abroad?
To be successful in this business you need to have dreams and goals to work towards to keep you focused on the rewards at the end of the hard work.
Starting an online business from home is simple and has never been better. It’s also credit crunch proof. get started today and don’t waste another day wondering what it would be like to be at home on the next warm sunny day.

I just got of the phone from a couple of friends in the US who by the way are very wealthy online business owners.
We were on a call to talk about possible joint ventures and I’m glad to say one was struck up which you will get to see soon if you are part of my list.
But, we then got talking about how dreams of property owners and especially new home buyers have been shattered and how many people have lost all their savings just to be on the property ladder.
This is true in the US and in the UK and I would guess many other countries. So, is property out of favour at the moment? I’d say more than likely and more so with new buyers or investors.
Sure, there are ways to buy property and still make money but the fact is it’s going to cost you much more to borrow the money and in turn eat up your profits.
Well, where do I make money then?
One thing I would not do is buy apartments with big promise of discounts. Very very risky. If you must look at this be sure to make sure you can get the rent first and then think about the investment.
Do your research!!!
I was in property up until almost a year ago when all the credit crunch talk came into play. I sold all bar one and I am very happy with the choice of timing. Hey, I will get back in but I’ll be waiting for at least two years to pass by.
That’s great but where do I make money now?
You could try the stock market, buying and selling options or calls and puts as they are known. You could try spread betting or you could get into oil futures since it seems to be on the rise all the time.
How about stocks in supermarkets as food is also on the rise. Wheat, rice?
What would I do?
In my opinion you need something that is away from all the greed and fear of these markets. You need something that will make you money all day every day and has proven demand.
That brings me back to my conversation with my friends in the US. We all teach people around the world how to make money on the Internet by finding what people need and how to supply it to them.
You see, if you can find something that people are screaming out for no matter what the stock market or property market is doing hen you have an asset.
An asset?
Yes, you have something that returns more moeny than you spend on it with a residual income that comes in from around the globe. Not just locally.
But, you need to make absolutely sure that what you are promoting has a massive demand and has litle competition.
This would not include Below Market Property or Foreclosures. As you may have noticed this market is now swamped with many ads in newspapers etc.
So, you see?
You need to find another way to make the same money you expected to make in property but without the hassles of dealing with solicitors, tenants, survey’s, finance and more.
Imagine being your own boss, working from home and earning cash 7 day’s per week while working less than 4.
Well you can. I do and thousands of others do to from all ove rthe world. If you prefer to get left behind and would like to wait for the next property boom or whatever it may be then forget about all of this and continue along your way.
However, if you think this sounds like a possible way to earn a few extra pounds a week to cober rising bills and mortgages etc then it’s well worth working a day or two a week on this.
If you want to make thousands more a week then it’s worth putting 4-5 day’s a week as you can do that with this.
Once it’s up and running then you can expect to get regular income each and every day with little continued effort until you decide you would like more income and then you would add some extra time.
It’s up to you how much you want to earn. NOT your ability to earn.
I will be launching my Home Study Program so you can learn from home and get used to making money from home with an online business.
You will also have the option of attending a two day seminar with me face to face or if you prefer one on one consultation with me which is made up of 10 sessions starting with the research and ending with you getting your first sale.
In all there will be 4 options for you and your budget.
Number 1. Comprehensive Home Study Guide with additional bonus items to help you out and a 2 hour DVD of an actual seminar with all the juicy bits showing great tips and tricks. I also include all the tools and software I use to make life easier when setting up. Last but not least I will also include 4 weeks full personal support.
Number 2. All the products in Number 1. plus a two day seminar with me personally where all you have to do is turn up. I will pick up the hotel and meals tab for you. It will be very close to an airport for those who like flying.
Number 3. All of the products in Number 1. and 2. plus a one on one consultation with me for a total of 10 sessions.
Note: Once you have completed Number 3. you will be invited to work with us at events to improve your networking skills and to increase your “brand”
Number 4. Fast Track to success. 3 full days with me locked away with me going step by step through the actual building of your online business plus all the products in Number 1. Yes, we will build your business in 3 day’s flat.
Note: This does not include the research phase as this can take up to 2-3 weeks on it’s own. Once the research is complete then we will build your business around the solution demanding niche that we have uncovered.
You will also be invited back to our events to share your experience and to again, increase your “brand”.
I know you are interested or at least intrigued because this is exactly what my list of customers have been asking me for over the past 6 months. Yes, I also do my research.
Look out for the launch of these products in the coming couple of weeks.

Are you struggling with what the heck to do just to get started making money online?
Have you purchased tons of ebooks and got all the freebies you can muster but still have no idea what to do?
I conduct a lot of surveys that my list is kind enough to take part in and I have to tell you, the results are always the same.
What do I sell?
How do I know what to sell?
Where do I start?
It’s impossible.
I just don’t know what to do.
I put in hours and hours and still get no sales.
Why is it so hard when so many say it’s so easy?
We have all been there at some stage. Although it can seem yough at times try to stick with it. It’s a dream you are following. The dream to be at home with your family or the family dog and not have to get on a bus or a train just to travel miles and miles to get to work.
The problem is the dream is much harder to realise when you are doing things wrong and going about making money on the Interent in all the wrong ways.
People seem to forget one thing and that’s the customers. Where do you find them and how do you get them to buy?
One word for you. RESEARCH!
That’s it. That’s the little secret that you need to be suucessful. But, what do you research and how do you do it?
I use many tools. The first is you need to do find out where your customers are hanging out and then find out what it is they are looking for. Once you have a demand then go about finding the supply. Or as some say identify the problem and then provide the solution.
Now, online is a little different. You need to get people to your site through search engines and search engines are all about keywords. So, you need to know what keywords are going to work for your product.
To do this you need keyword finders and these include, Google Keyword tool, Wordtrackers free keyword tool and the paid version of wordtracker that is simply the best.
It’s all great having these tools but you need to know how to use them. I would recommend reading the tutorials for all and you will have a good idea of what to do.
Without these tools you will be guessing what keywords to use and at the same time guessing what your customers are looking for.
Get the idea?
I hope this has been helpful in starting your online business.

I have almost recovered completely from the weekend after a very successful seminar on how to start an online business.
As I have mentioned before I offered this one out for free. In return the attendee’s simply stood in front of the camera and gave their account of the day.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. One thing is for sure that this will be a two day course from now on. The videos will be out as soon as Lucy has finished the edit. In the mean time, have a quick read what some have said so far;
Testimonial 1
“Hi Ashley - we just wanted to say a huge thank you and Vicky for putting on the course
today. We both have learnt so much and already working out to how to put this in to
practice with your help.”
Testimonial 2
“Hi Ashley,
Quick note to say thanks for the great seminar today.
I’m sure it won’t be too long before you have the testimonials on your new
product site - Will this be on www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com?”
Testimonial 3
“Hi Ashley
Thanks to you and Vicky for a superb day yesterday.
All the way home to Manchester I kept racking my brains as to what type of business or idea I could market on the net.
I leant a couple of new trick from you which I intend to put to good use with my utility business. Also I now have an idea to set up a website/forum for people who would like to exhibit their offerings and generally gain advice.
It is not a subject I am familiar with but now I have the tools to do the research.
Thanks a Million”
Testimonial 4
“I found that the course followed a structure path and was delivered as per
your pre course plan.
I must admit that I did get a blast of “oh no I will never remember that” at
one point.
The information given was great and I welcome the course notes (300 pages)
For further reference. I am also very pleased with the back up you offer from here on in.
You presented the information in a clear and relaxed way.
You never brushed any questions aside and when one of us was not sure you
went over the point again until we eventual got it,well done and thanks.
Both you and Vicky where excellent hosts and made every one’s day a worth
while one.
Testament to this was when I was generally mixing during breaks not one
person had a negative word to say, that is unusual at previous courses I have
attended.”
Testimonial 5
“Hello. Many thanks indeed for putting on yesterday’s free seminar and
congratulations for getting through so much in such a short time. Like
all the others that attended I enjoyed it thoroughly”
Within a few weeks of signing up for Ashley Banfield’s newsletter
earlier this year I became one of 25 people invited to a free day-long
face-to-face seminar in Harlow.
“To say that I am pleased I agreed to do so would be to vastly
understate the case. Based on my past experience I expected a pleasant
day out but probably little else. However at the time I felt I had
nothing to lose and saw no reason not to make the 290-mile round trip
from Nottingham.
How wrong can one be ?The seminar far exceeded all my expectations. I
was amazed at how much Ashley was able to cover in so short a time
slot and how thoroughly he dealt with it. We were taken from keyword
research & niche marketing to affiliateships & joint ventures - and
many other aspects of online marketing too numerous to mention here.
Ashley also very kindly provided us all with a 297-page account of the
points covered in the seminar - plus guaranteed high quality support &
a follow up seminar at a date to be decided.
The day’s events provided me with the most important boost I have
received so far in my efforts to embark on a career as an online
entrepreneur and I shall be forever grateful.
Keep up the good work, Ashley.”
Testimonial 6
“Hi Ashley and Victoria
Thank you for inviting me to attend the Mentoring Course on Saturday and for arranging a very special event.
I feel the content on the day was just as promised and really explained the steps to becoming an online business marketer. The course gives you everything you need to help set up a successful on-line business.
I am really looking forward to receiving the manual and the other items to help me get started”
If you want to learn the very same way and start getting serious about your online business then you need to be on this Two Day Seminar. Stop wasting money on all those ebooks that you have done nothing with.

After an extremely busy day I can finally say I finished all the preperation for the first of my face to face mentor days next Saturday. I have 25 people coming who are essentially beginners when it comes to making money online.
This very lucky group have the added advantage of getting the whole day for FREE. Why would I do such a thing considering it is going to cost me a few hundred pounds of my own money.
Well, firstly I decided on this because there are so many people in the UK getting brain washed about how simple it is to make Millions off the Internet with little or no experience. Sure, you don’t need it to start but where do you start?
I have put together a program or as I am calling it for those who wish to buy the product from me, a home study course. I am backing this up with full support from me personally either by phone or email. WOW!
The course will teach those who attend the step by step proven formula that has and continues to make many people loads of cash.
Once this day is finished and all the testimonials are in I will then launch the product out to the world. If you are interested in attending a seminar with me on a face to face mentor basis where a maximum of 25 people will attend then make sure you look out for the upcoming results to the very first face to face mentor day.
There are others already starting to copy me here in the UK but offer much less and want a whole load more money for YOUR time.
This is my last post for a couple of weeks until the mentor day has finished but if you have any questions before jsut fire away.
Stay tuned for the results.

That’s right people. It’s a load of rubbish. Don’t waste anymore time. I’ve had enough. No more, no money, no will, and I have no idea what I am doing and I can’t be bothered learning another thing let alone reading the same old BS over and over again.
Niche this niche that. Keyword this and that and not to mention Guru freaks who think they know everything. Like lambs to slaughter we continue to buy this stuff. Thousands are spent daily on this so called money making get me rich in a week dirt.
Sound like YOU?
How many of you are really making money from this? Hardly any at a guess. I know, I have been there and I have taught the same people over and over again.
I urge you to listen to this before spending your money and wasting your time;
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE!
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT OFFER SUPPORT!
DO NOT WASTE A PENNY ON ANY GET RICH QUICK SCAM!
Yes, I said it.
Would you walk into a store and spend thousands of pounds on a product that had no support, warranty or something that you didn’t even have a clue how to use and nobody was going to tell you how? NOOOOOOOO!
To make any money in this business you need to start at the right place, know what to sell, learn how to promote what you have and yes, you do need to know what keywords to use and what niche is best to start with. Otherwise you will be writing a post like the start of this one and God forbid you may even be broke due to the wrong get rich quick scam.
So, get started the right way and build your online business the right way with the right advice and with support.

If you have not been on Facebook, get there now. Make sure you check out John Reese and his bunch of FRIENDS which I am one of. If you missed out there is still time to join this centre of Internet Marketers all in the one spot. His profile is now full with 5,000 FRIENDS. Sadly that’s a limit Facebook have put on all profiles, so, you will have to make do with his Fan Page which is unlimited.
If you are a flagging Internet Marketer making little or no sales then this is the place to be. As a beginner you will get ideas but you need to know how to use these BIG TIPS from John first.
So, whether you have just started out and have little idea what this business is all about or, if you are looking to get started but are super confused take some time to read the following.
When I started out I had zero knowledge about this business but now I have as much as most. I also make a lot of money from my business and help many become successful.
How did I get started?
Well, I searched all over the net and tried all sorts of junk that was supposed to change my life and make me finanicially independent simply workingt a few hours a week. Ha ha ha ha…. That’s the first lesson learnt.
I found a great mentor who taught me all I needed to know and still inspires me today. Now, I am willing to help others like you too.
To be a success in this business you must be prepared to put in the hard work or you will fail. When I say work, you must research, know your competition and plan.
Here are some simple basics you are going to need to know;
Where to start?
Who to ask for help and who to trust?
What you need to do each and every day?
What do you sell?
What will make you money?
How to build a site with no HTML knowledge?
And, last but far from least…. Who are your customers and where to find them?
If you can answer all these right now then quickly get off this page and don’t waste another second.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW the answers to these questions then keep reading…
I recently conducted a survey of all my list and the reuslts were far from surprising. In fact I predicted the result weeks ago. How? I asked the same questions and had the same motivations when I was starting out and little has changed in those 5 years.
Here is a taster of those results,
When asked if you have started an online business 85.7% said NO and of that 85.7%, almost 90% said because they did not KNOW HOW. That’s right, they just don’t know where to start.
The others answered with, never heard of salescopy, hate SEO, no traffic, no money and can’t do html.
The I asked what I could do to help? 65% said the cheapest way to get traffic. The next biggest was how to build a website and the rest were made up of marketing, ebboks, I am new and have no idea what to do.
Then, the BIG question.
What motivated you to look at INTERNET MARKETING?
Number one with 88% was…. MONEY.
The rest were closely associated with money and are as follows; leave my day job, hate commuting, buy a house, flash car, help my family, be mega rich and finally the lowest of all, I just Love It.
So, as you can see the main reason for starting this business is to make lot’s of money. BUT, if you start wrong you will lose a lot of money and fast. People will suck you into get rich quick scams that just don’t work for the beginner.
If you are serious about making money off the Internet then take a look at The Right Way to starting an online business.

Well that’s got to be one of the most boring headlines I have ever seen. Internet Marketing. What does it really all mean?
Does it mean you have to read through a mountian of blogs about some person making Millions off all the others who are not?
I have recently thought about what on earth draws so many people into this world of Internet Marketing make believe. The belief that they to can be Millionaires just by sending a few emails, writing a few articles and having a blog. Well, that’s what I used to think anyway.
The thing here is I believe that most of you are downright mad and completely crazy to think this is how you can make money. It’s one big fantasy for you and you almost believe your own lies and that of many others who spread the FANTASY.
I visit the same blogs and forums where you post the rubbish that you just got from another site. I read the rubbish that you write and I read the abuse you hand out hiding behind your PC. There is only one thing worse than a coward and that is a foolish coward.
Now, before you send me masses of home grown abuse and obscene language wait just a minute.
If what I desribed is you then please sign off now and never visit my blog again. If this does not desribe you then please read on.
Starting out in this business can be extremely daunting and many in forums can be just outright rude. There seems to be very little room for newbies anymore but always room for arrogant fools who in almost all cases are making zero money in this business.
I absolutely love what I do and I love teaching newbies the right way of starting an online business that is going to make you money. The only one holding you back once I have shown you how to start an online business is YOU and the amount of EFFORT you put in.
In my blog alone you will find more information that will benefit you in your quest to making real money off the net. When I say real money I mean PROFIT.
Don’t be fooled. This is going to take a massive effort from you to start and grow so please stop being fooled by offers of biz in a box, Millions over night and other stuff like free websites etc.
Think smart and work smart. Think before you buy that next gimmick of making money and think before you pay the price of a car for a day out with a guy you never heard of. Hey, it cost less to have breakfast with a Billionaire at a breakfast meeting.
What do you do?
What do you sell?
Who do you trust?
How do you do it?
NOTHING and NOBODY if you are not prepared to work for it. If you are prepared to work for it then you have at least passed the first test.
Welcome to a business where you can earn an unlimited income, unlike your day job. A business that offers you freedom once it’s up and running and you have a list of satisfied and loyal customers.
Ready to learn?
Ready to work hard?
Ready to make serious money for your efforts?

The ego’s have landed…
Did you all manage to see the brand new apprentice show last night? Well, I watched it all even if I had to cringe at most of it. These people have been selected from around 10,000 applicants to prove to Sir Alan that they are worthy of a place in one of his companies on a six figure salary with all the trappings of the high life.
Now, from all the previous series I don’t think there is one left working for him unless you count last year’s winner who can’t even finish a website in a year promoting Sir Alan’s property empire etc. Maybe he should join singingpig for a little more expertise.
Anyway, Nicholas was fired in what was a fairly quick decision compared to previous sackings and I even think the decision was made once the young man opened his mouth and completely slammed anyone and everyone in the country if they did not hold a degree in law.
This person even told the world how intelligent he was and how he hated football and that he was going to eat the rest alive. Well, given his audience in the boardroom I think he needs to think before opening his wide, loud personality. Camp as he may seem I am sure he will have many more failures in his life ahead.
Now, this brings me back to reality. 16 people have been given a huge chance here to be mentored by one of the most successful people in business in the UK, yet, they cannot seem to listen to the advice given by Sir Alan and his team at any given time. The problem is they think they know it all already.
Competition is healthy but shooting yourself down before you get up is crazy.
I have been involved in trading the stock market and property but before I did anything I seeked out the best people to teach me the right way and yes, I listened to all that they said and did exactly what they told me to do. Did it work out?
My mentors have done a wonderful job on me and I’ll thank them for life but what I struggle with is seeing posts about them being frauds or picking out parts of what they teach as being too hard or just not viable.
FACT. I know what they teach works.
I also know that there are frauds out there. I subscribe to all their rubbish and still try to call them or email them and yet they refuse to return my call or emails. WHY? Because they are selling something they don’t understand. They are simply selling someone else’s material that they do not understand yet they claim to know it all.
Yes, I sell other people’s material but I only target some of my list with what I think is suitable to them and is related to what my website is all about. Imagine me selling a beginners guide to the galaxy to an astronaut. It’s not going to happen and I’m sure there will be little I can teach an astronaut. In fact I would ask him to write an ebook for me and market it to the world. May have already been done by Buzz…
It’s the same with the apprentices last night trying to sell fish and lobsters in London. They knew nothing about the product and did little to find out. No research at all and yet they all had a mobile phone to do so. I for one would have called my grandfather as I know he curses the price of fish and tries a different kind each week. Lobster for a fiver. He would have taken the whole lot and then gone to his local monger and sold the lot for double the money.
The point I am trying to make here is I see many posts on many forums from new people and experienced too, asking the same questions over and over again.
What should I sell?
Where do I start?
How do you buy property without any money?
The share market is in a mess, how on earth do you make money?
My bank manager said there’s no way I can buy a house without a deposit!
Who do I trust?
I can’t afford to buy a house?
I can’t afford to start a web business?
Well, I hate to disappoint you but yes you can! Try picking up your phone and calling these people. Send them an email. Join the networking clubs. See what others are saying about them. If you don’t you will continue to ask the questions above.
It’s much easier than putting yourself on T.V for 16 weeks in front of the nation to get 100k a year. I know you can make a lot more than that working for YOURSELF.
Do you need a mentor you can trust?
Until the next episode take care,
Ashley Banfield
