<p><strong>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&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>&#8230;But There’s A Much More ‘Poisonous’ Message About Internet Marketers That Needs To Be Addressed</em></strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>MONETIZATION IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE INTERNET.</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So if you kill all the Internet marketers, YOU KILL THE INTERNET.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>A Quiet Revolution Is Forming</strong></p>
<p>These anti-marketing folks need to realize something…</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>* I would like to encourage my fellow <a title="internet marketers" href="http://onlinebusinessmarketer.com" target="_blank">Internet marketers</a> to spread the word about this post. Thank you.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoyed this post.</p>

<p>I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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;</p>
<p>&#8220;I will be a Millionaire in 10 weeks time without having to work for it&#8221;</p>
<p>Did you see how silly you looked and how stupid it sounded? That&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>An entrepreneur never ever ever gives up on his/her dream.</p>
<p>BUT. There are some things you ned to take into account when persuing your dream and that is some sort of structure.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>One is to transform the way making money online is taught in the UK. In my opinion it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>IT&#8221;S SHOCKING!!</p>
<p><a title="making money online" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com" target="_blank">Making money online</a> is being mis-represented in the UK as the easy way to cash in on other suckers. Well, it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Take Action - As I have said, you will get nothing back if you put nothing in. Simple as that my friends. I don&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Decide on your strategy and decide how you will get to see your dreams in reality.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> Find the time - <a title="starting an online business" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com" target="_blank">Starti</a><a title="starting an online business" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com" target="_blank">ng an online business</a> 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?</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>CARE ABOUT YOURSELF. Don&#8217;t burn yourself out. Maintain a constant acceptable pace that will let you also enjoy family life and friends.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Always be willing to LEARN from each and every experienc you see or hear. Learn from others and learn from your instinct.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>DREAMS - Without them it&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Many self made multi millionaires have the same thought process and the same beliefs for sucess in business whether on or off line.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So please, don&#8217;t just buy some rubbsih just because it sounds good. Don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s of money and time.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The rest is w<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/blog/wp-content/dvd1.jpg"></a></span>hat I will teach you.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">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.</p>
<p>Now, I want to stress that making money from an <a title="online home business" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com" target="_blank">online home business</a> 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&#8217;s totally mobile and can go with you where ever you decide to roam.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s good to know how much is going into the account that day so I can control what my lovely partner decides to spend. <img src='http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54" title="Tuscany, Italy" src="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/blog/wp-content/dsc04737.jpg" alt="Last year in Tuscany. Amazing views and wonderful people - Food too :-) " width="455" height="342" /></p>
<p>Working from home gives you amazing freedom. We are about to get our first dog together and there will be lot&#8217;s of training to do. Being at home allows me to do this and spend more time with family.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Have you got kids at home? Would you like to spend more quality time with them? I bet you would.</p>
<p>What about the extra income? What will you do with the extra 100 or so? More holiday&#8217;s, a better car, bigger house or a place in the country or abroad?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><a title="starting an online home business" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html" target="_blank">Starting an online business from home</a> is simple and has never been better. It&#8217;s also credit crunch proof. get started today and don&#8217;t waste another day wondering what it would be like to be at home on the next warm sunny day.</p>

<!-- ALL ADSENSE ADS DISABLED -->
<p>I just got of the phone from a couple of friends in the US who by the way are very wealthy online business owners.</p>
<p>We were on a call to talk about possible joint ventures and I&#8217;m glad to say one was struck up which you will get to see soon if you are part of my list.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;d say more than likely and more so with new buyers or investors.</p>
<p>Sure, there are ways to buy property and still make money but the fact is it&#8217;s going to cost you much more to borrow the money and in turn eat up your profits.</p>
<p>Well, where do I make money then?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Do your research!!!</p>
<p>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&#8217;ll be waiting for at least two years to pass by.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s great but where do I make money now?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>How about stocks in supermarkets as food is also on the rise. Wheat, rice?</p>
<p>What would I do?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>An asset?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>But, you need to make absolutely sure that what you are promoting has a massive demand and has litle competition.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So, you see?</p>
<p>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&#8217;s, finance and more.</p>
<p>Imagine being your own boss, working from home and earning cash 7 day&#8217;s per week while working less than 4.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s well worth working a day or two a week on this.</p>
<p>If you want to make thousands more a week then it&#8217;s worth putting 4-5 day&#8217;s a week as you can do that with this.</p>
<p>Once it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s up to you how much you want to earn. NOT your ability to earn. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>In all there will be 4 options for you and your budget.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;brand&#8221;</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com" title="online business">online business</a> plus all the products in Number 1. Yes, we will build your business in 3 day&#8217;s flat.</p>
<p>Note: This does not include the research phase as this can take up to 2-3 weeks on it&#8217;s own. Once the research is complete then we will build your business around the solution demanding niche that we have uncovered.</p>
<p>You will also be invited back to our events to share your experience and to again, increase your &#8220;brand&#8221;.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Look out for the launch of these products in the coming couple of weeks.</p>

<p>Are you struggling with what the heck to do just to get started <a href="http://onlinebusinessmarketer.com" title="making money online">making money online</a>?</p>
<p>Have you purchased tons of ebooks and got all the freebies you can muster but still have no idea what to do?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>What do I sell? </p>
<p>How do I know what to sell? </p>
<p>Where do I start?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s impossible.</p>
<p>I just don&#8217;t know what to do.</p>
<p>I put in hours and hours and still get no sales.</p>
<p>Why is it so hard when so many say it&#8217;s so easy?</p>
<p>We have all been there at some stage. Although it can seem yough at times try to stick with it. It&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>People seem to forget one thing and that&#8217;s the customers. Where do you find them and how do you get them to buy?</p>
<p>One word for you. RESEARCH!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it. That&#8217;s the little secret that you need to be suucessful. But, what do you research and how do you do it?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>It&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Without these tools you will be guessing what keywords to use and at the same time guessing what your customers are looking for.</p>
<p>Get the idea?</p>
<p>I hope this has been helpful in <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com" title="starting your online business">starting your online business.</a></p>

<p>I have almost recovered completely from the weekend after a very successful seminar on <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com" title="how to start an online business">how to start an online business</a>.<br />
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.<br />
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;</p>
<p><strong>Testimonial 1</strong></p>
<p><em>“Hi Ashley - we just wanted to say a huge thank you and Vicky for putting on the course<br />
today. We both have learnt so much and already working out to how to put this in to<br />
practice with your help.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Testimonial 2</strong></p>
<p><em>“Hi Ashley,</em></p>
<p><em><br />
Quick note to say thanks for the great seminar today.<br />
I’m sure it won’t be too long before you have the testimonials on your new<br />
product site - Will this be on </em><a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/"><em>www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com</em></a><em>?”</em></p>
<p><strong>Testimonial 3</strong></p>
<p><em>“Hi Ashley</em></p>
<p><em><br />
Thanks to you and Vicky for a superb day yesterday.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
It is not a subject I am familiar with but now I have the tools to do the research.<br />
Thanks a Million”</em></p>
<p><strong>Testimonial 4</strong></p>
<p><em>“I found that the course followed a structure path and was delivered as per<br />
your pre course plan.<br />
I must admit that I did get a blast of “oh no I will never remember that”  at<br />
one point.</em></p>
<p><em><br />
The information given was great and I welcome the course notes (300 pages)<br />
For  further reference. I am also very pleased with the back up you offer from here on in.<br />
You presented the information in a clear and relaxed way.<br />
You never brushed any questions aside and when one of us was not sure you<br />
went over the point again until we eventual got it,well done and thanks.<br />
Both you and Vicky where excellent hosts and made every one’s day a worth<br />
while one.<em><em><br />
Testament to this was when I was generally mixing during breaks not one<br />
person had a negative word to say, that is unusual at previous courses I have<br />
attended.”</em></em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em><em><strong>Testimonial 5</strong></em></em><em> </em></em><em> </em></em></p>
<p><em><em><em>“Hello. Many thanks indeed for putting on yesterday’s free seminar and<br />
congratulations for getting through so much in such a short time. Like<br />
all the others that attended I enjoyed it thoroughly”<br />
Within a few weeks of signing up for Ashley Banfield’s newsletter<br />
earlier this year I became one of 25 people invited to a free day-long<br />
face-to-face seminar in Harlow.</em></em></em></p>
<p><em><br />
“To say that I am pleased I agreed to do so would be to vastly<br />
understate the case. Based on my past experience I expected a pleasant<br />
day out but probably little else. However at the time I felt I had<br />
nothing to lose and saw no reason not to make the 290-mile round trip<br />
from Nottingham.<br />
How wrong can one be ?<em>The seminar far exceeded all my expectations. I<br />
was amazed at how much Ashley was able to cover in so short a time<br />
slot and how thoroughly he dealt with it. We were taken from keyword<br />
research &amp; niche marketing to affiliateships &amp; joint ventures - and<br />
many other aspects of online marketing too numerous to mention here.<br />
Ashley also very kindly provided us all with a 297-page account of the<br />
points covered in the seminar - plus guaranteed high quality support &amp;<br />

<p>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 <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com" title="making money online">making money online</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t need it to start but where do you start?</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>The course will teach those who attend the step by step proven formula that has and continues to make many people loads of cash.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for the results.</p>

<p>That&#8217;s right people. It&#8217;s a load of rubbish. Don&#8217;t waste anymore time. I&#8217;ve had enough. No more, no money, no will, and I have no idea what I am doing and I can&#8217;t be bothered learning another thing let alone reading the same old BS over and over again.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Sound like YOU?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I urge you to listen to this before spending your money and wasting your time;</p>
<p>DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT YOU DON&#8217;T KNOW HOW TO USE!</p>
<p>DO NOT BUY ANYTHING YOU DON&#8217;T UNDERSTAND!</p>
<p>DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT OFFER SUPPORT!</p>
<p>DO NOT WASTE A PENNY ON ANY GET RICH QUICK SCAM!</p>
<p>Yes, I said it.</p>
<p>Would you walk into a store and spend thousands of pounds on a product that had no support, warranty or something that you didn&#8217;t even have a clue how to use and nobody was going to tell you how? NOOOOOOOO!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So, get started the right way and <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html" title="build your online business">build your online business</a> the right way with the right advice and with support.</p>

<p>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 <a title="Internet Marketers" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com">Internet Marketers</a> all in the one spot. His profile is now full with 5,000 FRIENDS. Sadly that&#8217;s a limit Facebook have put on all profiles, so, you will have to make do with his Fan Page which is unlimited.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>How did I get started?</p>
<p>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&#8230;. That&#8217;s the first lesson learnt.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here are some simple basics you are going to need to know;</p>
<p>Where to start?</p>
<p>Who to ask for help and who to trust?</p>
<p>What you need to do each and every day?</p>
<p><a title="How to sell online?" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html" target="_blank">How to sell online?</a></p>
<p>What do you sell?</p>
<p>What will make you money?</p>
<p>How to build a site with no HTML knowledge?</p>
<p>And, last but far from least&#8230;. Who are your customers and where to find them?</p>
<p>If you can answer all these right now then quickly get off this page and don&#8217;t waste another second.</p>
<p>IF YOU DON&#8217;T KNOW the answers to these questions then keep reading&#8230;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here is a taster of those results,</p>
<p>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&#8217;s right, they just don&#8217;t know where to start.</p>
<p>The others answered with, never heard of salescopy, hate SEO, no traffic, no money and can&#8217;t do html.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Then, the BIG question.</p>
<p>What motivated you to look at <a title="INTERNET MARKETING" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html">INTERNET MARKETING</a>?</p>
<p>Number one with 88% was&#8230;. MONEY.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So, as you can see the main reason for starting this business is to make lot&#8217;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&#8217;t work for the beginner.</p>
<p>If you are serious about making money off the Internet then take a look at The Right Way to <a title="starting an online business" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html">starting an online business</a>.</p>

<p>Well that&#8217;s got to be one of the most boring headlines I have ever seen. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html" title="Internet marketing">Internet Marketing</a>. What does it really all mean?</p>
<p>Does it mean you have to read through a mountian of blogs about some person making Millions off all the others who are not?</p>
<p>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&#8217;s what I used to think anyway.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s one big fantasy for you and you almost believe your own lies and that of many others who spread the FANTASY.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Now, before you send me masses of home grown abuse and obscene language wait just a minute.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>What do you do?</p>
<p>What do you sell?</p>
<p>Who do you trust?</p>
<p>How do you do it?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Welcome to a business where you can earn an unlimited income, unlike your day job. A business that offers you freedom once it&#8217;s up and running and you have a list of satisfied and loyal customers.</p>
<p>Ready to learn?</p>
<p>Ready to work hard?</p>
<p>Ready to make serious money for your efforts?</p>
<p>Then make sure you read my blog for more great ideas and check out my site at <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/">www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com</a></p>
<p>Take care</p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri">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. </font></span></p>

Well, given his audience in the boardroom I think he needs to think before opening his wide, loud personality.

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri">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.</font></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri"><o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri">Competition is healthy but shooting yourself down before you get up is crazy. </font></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri">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?</font></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri"><o:p></o:p></font></span> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri">YES!

Sadly, none of these are based in the UK.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri">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.</font></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri"><o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%"><font face="Calibri">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. <span> </span>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.

<p>Beating the credit crunch is not as simple as starting an <a target="_blank" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html" title="online business">online business</a> or buying Below market price properites and going to work everyday is not going to beat it. EVER! Neither is sitting on your butt doing nothing. In  fact it&#8217;s going to take all of these things with the exception of doing nothing.</p>
<p>Now when I say stop the credit crunch, I mean for YOU.</p>
<p>First you need to know a little about how this world of ours is working. Most of you should have heard of the World Bank by now but few will know what it&#8217;s all about. Of course you can take a look at thier website but that will tell you little. Some critics of the World Bank say that the institution has actually contributed to poverty around the globe instead of reducing it and that it supports US business interests. We have seen this in the last week or so and massive contributions from the UK were well recieved. I am talking Billions.</p>
<p>It is also said that the World Bank has consistantly pushed an agenda imposing policies on developing countries which have been very damaging and almost anti-developmental. Is the Bank blaming the poor in these countries for the problem?</p>
<p>How much influence does the US have on the World Bank? Again, criticisms of the structure of the World Bank point out that the president of the Bank is always an American who is nominated by the US president himself and at present that is George Bush. World Bank or US cash to control the world? I will leave it up to you to decide.</p>
<p>The Bank of England&#8217;s website talks of financial stability and that&#8217;s something the governement noted several times in the latest budget. Maybe they read the website to and considered it good for the budget. I strongly recommend reading the 2006 and 2007 report which can be downloaded free from the site.</p>
<p>The work is linked to the Bank&#8217;s surveillance effort which aims to help identify possible risks to financial stability and hence promote risk mitigation by policy makers and private sector risk managers. You will find it under pulications and then stability reports. What you will notice is the Bank was getting very nervous back in 2006 about what is currently going on. Did the government listen. Well, maybe but Mr Brown didn&#8217;t seem to when he delivered his &#8220;last budget&#8221; before becoming PM.</p>
<p>Why is that cigarettes and booze are always at the top of the agenda on any budget. Is it because in times of trouble the government knows what to invest in when the times are tough.</p>
<p>People get more stressed as they have less money, they may drink more at home to drown the problems out. When people atay home more they use more power. Should we invest in utility shares? Well, these prices seemed to have risen sharply since the news about the credit crunch was considered a problem by the Bank.</p>
<p>What about shares in supermarkets and food producers. Again, the prices all seem to be going through the roof. Wheat? Gold? Highest ever prices.</p>
<p>Why are Banks all going down the tube? Well if you read the report for 2007 from the Bank of England they actually mention Bears Stearn in there as being in trouble due to two massive hedge funds. They knew it was coming. We just read about it.</p>
<p>FEAR and GREED is what helps the Banks make thier money. At the moment we are in the state of FEAR. Sell sell sell. We have just come off a massive trend of GREED, buy buy buy. BUT IT ALL, they have told us. No wonder debt is at records. Besides, the Banks all tell us if you cant afford it we will lend it to you. CREDIT CARDS. From the day you are born something is put on a creidt card for you. Student loans. You see all the banks lining up to give you credit, pay your debts etc. They have you and will not let you go. Some call that Mafia, some call it the Firm, the Bank and many call it Life.</p>
<p>With all the Banks going down it&#8217;s hard to see through the mist for anyone still making money. Do you hear of Facebook going broke? MySpace, YouTube, Google, Ebay, Microsoft or any of these big Internet Companies? Are they asking the World Bank to save them? Probably why so many people are starting an Online Business&#8230;;-]</p>
<p>Do you know that at the age of 65 only 1 out of 100 will be a Millionaire? The rest will struggle to make ends meet. Will you be the one?</p>
<p>When you left school all bright and fresh ready to tackle the world do you remember your teacher coming up to you and saying, &#8220;Who wants to go out into the world today, get a job you don&#8217;t really like, work very hard at that job, for the next 45 years (or even more now), pay your bills on time and forget about doing what it is you reallt want to do because there is no time left?&#8221; Then you get to retire, most will rely on the state to support you and if you live until a ripe old age you may be lucky enough to finish your final years in a state run old peoples home.</p>
<p>Would you have said yes to your teacher? Some would have as they have been told by thier parents it&#8217;s the best way.</p>
<p>Now, if that teacher came to you and said, &#8220;Who would like to learn how to set yourself up financially and at the age of 30 or less you never had to work another day in your life and you get to spend your time doing what you like. Travel, spend time with family, have a business that you were proud of and helped change peoples lives and live your dreams?&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to think you would have said yes to this.</p>
<p>I read somewhere once that If you want to succeed, you need to figure out what most people are doing and do the exact opposite.</p>
<p>Right, why on earth am I bothering sharing this with you and spending the best part of an hour of my time typing? Because I am one of those who give a damn. In fact I love seeing people change the way they were taught to think and start thinking for themselves and about what they prefer. So, step up and take a very big look at what you are doing in your life and if you see room for improvment take the steps and get started.</p>
<p>Maybe you want to stop smoking to create extra income, less booze, ride your bike instead of taking the car, eat at home and forget the takeaways, turn the lights off in the room you&#8217;re not in, wear an extra jumper when you feel cold, buy unbranded food, write down a budget or whatever it is that most people do.</p>
<p>Or, you could learn what it is that will make you more money so you don&#8217;t need to make these sacrifises.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s your LIFE. Treat it that way</p>
<p>Take care</p>

<p>This seems to be getting a lot of press so I thought I&#8217;d help out a little with the Google slap and hand out some myself&#8230;</p>
<p>So what is Google Slap?</p>
<p>Well, in basic terms if you use Google Adwords to get people to your site and to buy from you then you may have noticed that Google is slapping some extra profit on thier keywords that you have been using and profiting from for a while I&#8217;d suspect.</p>
<p>What Google seems to be claiming is they want to to be much more relevant with the keywords you are using in your ads and the keywords you are using in your campaign.</p>
<p>They mention landing pages too and if your landing page does not match the keywords you are advertising with then they will try to get you to pay upwards of 5 pounds or more per keyword.</p>
<p>NOW THAT HURTS!</p>
<p>So, what do you do or what can you do to off set this?</p>
<p>What I used to do is ride it out for a couple of days and Google just put me back on the old price being pence per click as opposed to pounds or dollars for my US readers.</p>
<p>Of late this has only fixed it for 48 hours or less. So, I decided it&#8217;s time to take action and listen to Google. I went to my adwords account, put my URL into the Google Adwords tool and tried the keywords they recommended. So far the slap has not come back and hit me so fingers crossed this will work. I also made sure my URL&#8217;s in my ads matched the content of the landing page. Yep, they do.</p>
<p>Make sure all your content is relevant or you will get slapped. Hard!</p>
<p>Affiliates seem to be the hardest hit as a lot of them do depend on adwords to make cash. I guess Google is just trying to clean up the web and get rid of the little scammers that pop up from time to time.</p>
<p> By the way, if you get emails from &#8220;Mike Derosa&#8221; double delete as you are a victim of spam.</p>
<p>If you want to start your online business the right way from the start then take a look here. You might just learn something. <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html">www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html</a></p>
<p>Take care</p>
<p>Ashley Banfield</p>
<p>P.S For the Google keyword tool go here <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal">https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal</a> and be sure to change the field to website content, type in your URL and get the keywords by Google for adwords.</p>

<p>The timing of this post could not be better. <a title="Starting an online business" href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html" target="_blank">Starting an online business</a> has never be more relevant to get you out of the daily routine of earning tax for the government. Why? Well if you were an online business marketer like me or an internet marketer then your email inbox will be full of extra emails asking for HELP!!!!!</p>
<p>HELP!!!!!</p>
<p>With what you ask?</p>
<p>With financial freedom and the removal of all shackles applied from birth. Now this may all sound a little dramatic at first but I am sure there are many more of you out there crying out for help to get yourself above the so called poverty line.</p>
<p>In the UK today I picked up my usual copy of The Times and sat down to read from cover to cover. I read The Times as it leaves out all the normal doom and gloom of many other papers on the stand, but, today is a whole lot different.</p>
<p>Front page of The Times today is a big reflection on where the economy is heading.</p>
<p>&#8220;Consumer gloom as spending fails&#8221;. It goes on to talk of anxiety and the decline of people eating out, keeping cars for longer, less spending on clothes and back to branded supermarket foods.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also a message form a lady stating this,</p>
<p>&#8220;The messgae to the poor is simple: you are not in charge of your life. We are&#8221;</p>
<p>She is talking about the governements control over how much money those on benefits and those earning very little. It seems there is no way out from the claws of the ever richer polititian.</p>
<p>Another quote further in &#8220;I can&#8217;t afford a house or afford a holiday. I&#8217;ve never felt so badly off&#8221; Food, fuel and taxes are the biggest worry.</p>
<p>Beware. The budget looms but don&#8217;t be suprised if hospitals are not on the agenda. Taxes and new runways will be and the new earner, &#8220;green taxes&#8221;. Why? They make the government millions where they never thought possible. What a fantastic new income stream. POLLUTION.</p>
<p>Now look, I&#8217;m no politician but I don&#8217;t plan to get sucked into the black hole where the get all the money I earn. Even in a receession in the USA Billions are still being spent on becoming the new president.</p>
<p>Housing gloom. You name it they tell it. Wheat prices are through the roof. Banks are slashing jobs, oil is at record prices. Cheap food has gone and will not return&#8230;</p>
<p>What will you do about it?</p>
<p>Take a look at the sports section and read about Lewis Hamilton. Here is a young guy starting out in formula 1 with a 5 year contract worth 70 million pounds. Yet, he still plays it safe and looks to the future and wants to take care of his family. He had to move to the land of the Swiss to escape the clutches of the UK government.</p>
<p>Well, I for one spoke to a gentleman over 15 years ago who said to me, &#8220;you will never make your millions working for someone else&#8221;. How true. Unless you are a director or CEO of a multinational company or even Lewis Hamilton, you will not make a fortune working in your 9-5 job.</p>
<p>Beat the system and break the mould that says you must pay maximum tax and that you spend all your monthly pay packet in the first week.</p>
<p>Starting your own online business is simple but does require hard work from you and dedication to do the things you need to do each and every day. Get out at night and leave the TV for someone else to find happiness in. Go to seminars, go to wealth creation workshops. Meet new people with the same thought process as you. You may just meet your new business partner or mentor that helps you get out of the big rutt.</p>
<p>So, stop sinking and start swimming.</p>
<p>Please feel free to email me with any help you may need to get started. I&#8217;ll be glad to get you going.</p>
<p>Best wishes</p>

<p>Starting an online business with little or no experience can be very daunting.</p>
<p>An online business newbie has a maze of infomation right in front of them but few know how to start an online business let alone how to start marketing an online business.</p>
<p>I just got back from a fabulous week skiing in the french alps where I learnt to ski for the first time and I loved it.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s this got to do with starting an online business?</p>
<p>Everything!</p>
<p>I sat down and watched instructors teaching kids as young as two and adults in their twilight years and the main thing I noticed was how the kids just listened and did exactly what the instructor told them to do. If he said go straight they did. Turn corners or stop and they did.</p>
<p>Now, another thing is they put complete trust in this person to make sure they were not hurt and kept safe. The older people all seemed to think he was out to hurt them or confuse them in some way.</p>
<p>Watching older people learning how to ski was a lot different to how the kids learnt. You see, they had this preconcieved idea that skiing was going to be hard and that they were going to fall over and get painful injuries to last a week or worse, broken bones.</p>
<p>You will be glad to know I survived the week and will return many times.</p>
<p>BUT!</p>
<p>I then though about how this is true in all things new that we try out. Take Internet Marketing or starting an online business for example. I get emails all the time about how hard it is to get the right information or how hard it is to find someone who knows how but is not so good at teaching.</p>
<p>You need a great instructor who has the experience and knowledge so you don&#8217;t make the little mistakes that will turn into very big money wasting exercises. Get rich junk that you will fail with.</p>
<p>Now, I am exprienced in starting an online business and I have taught many to go on and make money the right way. Starting a business needs the right foundations and the right formula to succeed. If you don&#8217;t you will fall flat on your face and in most cases not get up again. You will just give up and say it&#8217;s all too hard.</p>
<p>I have a seminar coming up on the 26th of April at which I will be teaching 25 people how to start an online business. Once this is day is finished I will be sharing the comments and testimonials with everyone to show you how credibility in your market place is essential.</p>
<p>In the mean time if you cant wait why not download the right way of starting an online business right here <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html">http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/TheRightWay.html</a></p>
<p>Take care and have a great day</p>
<p>Ashley Banfield</p>

<p>Hello and welcome to another post about starting an online business.</p>
<p>Everyday I recieve emails from online business entrepreneurs who claim to have the holy grail. The one thing that will make me a millionaire in a year or 10,000 in days etc etc.</p>
<p>I have become immune to most of the recommendations I get emailed to me but that said, I do always check out the site that they send to me or the signature link they may have on a forum.</p>
<p>I have to tell you that just about all of these so called get rich offerings are really not worth the time it took to write them. I am discgusted by some of the rubbish I get sent or even called about sometimes. I see it on forums all the time and not just small forums. Some of the biggest are sucking people in all day every day.</p>
<p>As I said, I do check these sites out and you will be larmed when I tell you that they do not even have the basics when I check what keywords they are using to promote their online business via the meta tags.</p>
<p>In most cases there are none. YES, that&#8217;s right. ZIP.</p>
<p>But, they still have the nerve to challenge people who really are the experts. It&#8217;s easy to answer questions when you have an ebook in front of you that you can refer to that is written by someone else.</p>
<p>I also laugh when these guys recommend so called gurus to me and their products that they have not even tried. They are just desperate wanna be affiliates who are making nothing from an online business.</p>
<p>WHY?</p>
<p>Because they don&#8217;t know how to and they are to lazy to learn.</p>
<p>I will be running a seminar for a &#8220;special 25&#8243; in April and all of these will be taught the right way to start an online business.</p>
<p>Once it&#8217;s done they have also agreed to write testimonials and feedback on the day. It&#8217;s FREE to them and the information they provide as feedback will also be freely given out.</p>
<p>I have the confidence in what I will teach to make this all very public.</p>
<p>Hey!! If I&#8217;m wrong then it&#8217;s all over for me. LOL!!!</p>
<p>So, stay tuned as there will be more on this as we progress towards that special day.</p>
<p>Sorry, but all the place have been filled.</p>
<p>I will be offering the same course to others once this has been pulled apart by the critics and improved if needed.</p>
<p>In the mean time, enjoy the FREE information thoughout this blog. You just never know what you might learn&#8230;</p>

<p>Do you have the best Online Business in the world? Are you the best *Online Business Marketer* in the world?</p>
<p>For just about all of you the answer would have been NO.</p>
<p>What makes the best online business? What is it that makes you a great online business marketer?</p>
<p>Well, I can tell you it&#8217;s not by buying and reading 95% of the rubbish that you buy online today. Stop buying the junk you feel drawn to just because the sales copy sounds good or because the freebies look amazing.</p>
<p>JUST STOP NOW!</p>
<p>Stop wasting all your hard earned money and time trying to be the next millionaire that these books are supposed to turn you into. Think about it. If this were true there would be millions of us out there sitting on the beach, taking pictures of our sports car and bragging about our new house.</p>
<p> TEMPO CHANGE&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, the fact is that you can become a millionaire from an online business. There are many who have shared their secrets and taught them.</p>
<p>The BIG SECRET is that they nor I can teach you how to get off your butt and do it. We cannot make you get up out of bed and start working right away. We cant stop you watching tv junk or going to the bar for a drink with your mates.</p>
<p>We can only pass on the information of how we have done it hoping you will take action and do something about it instead of going to forums and spending more time on trashing peoples ideas instead of trying to create your own.</p>
<p>So, if you are really interested in making money and setting up a profitable internet business join me in the UK to learn face to face. YES, that&#8217;s right. FACE TO FACE with me for a whole day. You will also get a full workbook and all the tools I have used to make money on the net.</p>
<p>INTERESTED?</p>
<p>Email me and let me know why you want to start an online business and why I should accept you into this sort after face to face mentoring.</p>
<p>Ashley Banfield <a href="http://www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com/">www.onlinebusinessmarketer.com</a></p>
<p>P.S I forgot to mention, the first 25 applications will get their face to face mentoring for FREE. This whole day is worth at least £900 per person.</p>

<p><span id="msg" class="spnMessageText"><font size="2">In the world of business small and large companies continue to update and improve upon thier marketing strategies.</font></span><span id="msg" class="spnMessageText"><font size="2">Here is a little about how corporates tend to look at marketing. You will be surprised to see it&#8217;s very much the same as *Online Business Marketing*</p>
<p>This is where a lot of my students get mixed up in the hype of Internet Marketing. It is essentially a mirror of a bricks and mortar company online.</p>
<p>Basically, you might look at marketing as the wide range of activities involved in making sure that you&#8217;re continuing to meet the needs of your customers and are getting value in return.</p>
<p>Marketing analysis includes finding out what groups of potential customers or target markets exist, what groups of customers you prefer to serve (target markets), what their needs are, what products or services you might develop to meet their needs, how the customers might prefer to use the products and services, what your competitors are doing, what pricing you should use and how you should distribute products and services to your target markets.</p>
<p>Various methods of market research are used to find out information about markets, target markets and their needs, competitors, etc. Marketing also includes ongoing promotions, which can include advertising, public relations, sales and customer service.</p>
<p>How do you grab people&#8217;s attention, arouse their interest, trigger their desire, and motivate them to take action? Answer that four-part question correctly and you&#8217;ve identified the secret to achieving tremendous sales and marketing success in your chosen business or field.</p>
<p>To complicate matters, however, the potential answers are as numerous and multi-faceted as the growing number of niche markets, products and services, and marketing trends in our culture.</p>
<p>While not all inclusive, the following list of priorities, marketing strategies, marketing tools, and small business marketing tips can help establish a marketing framework that can put your small business on a faster track to growth.</p>
<p>*Gain Customer Confidence*</p>
<p>Customer indecisiveness, skepticism, indifference, or confusion are among the top sales killers in the business world. It&#8217;s up to you to project an image of experience, quality, dependability, excellent customer service, and/or added value to your prospective customers in order to win their confidence. If you haven&#8217;t clearly communicated the advantages and solid reasons for them to do business with you, then they&#8217;ll be hesitant to commit and the sale will go to elsewhere.</p>
<p>Penetrate awareness of your target audience by using some form of integrated marketing. In other words, the more ways the public hears about you, the better your chances are for achieving brand recognition, credibility, and greater market share.</p>
<p>Effective marketing is partly the result of exposing your target audience to your name and your selling points (unique selling proposition) as often as possible(frequency), in as many ways as possible, and as cost-effectively as possible.</p>
<p>Sincere enthusiasm, in both print and in person, is contagious (and I&#8217;m not talking about using multiple exclamation points after sentences!!! That detracts from your credibility and perceived professionalism.) If you deeply believe in your products, services, your company, and yourself, then your prospects will pick up on that passionate attitude and feel confident and optimistic about buying from you.</p>
<p>Purchasing is an emotional decision. Instill in your prospects good feelings about you and your products, your relationship with them, and how you can improve their lives or solve their problem.</p>
<p>Accomplishing that is at least as important in the sales and marketing process as focusing attention on product features and benefits and any SEO etc you feel is needed.</p>
<p>Gain customer confidence and overcome potential feelings of distrust by offering written guarantees of satisfaction whenever possible, customer testimonials, references, and by joining respected and well-known forums like Warrior Forum. Try to stay away from those just hanging on Adsense where quality is not their primary focus.</p>
<p>Impose a deadline. Counteract one of the biggest obstacles to closing a sale known to all;</p>
<p>PROCRASTINATION!!!</p>
<p>To overcome the natural human tendancy to postpone, and delay, it&#8217;s often necessary to inject a sense of urgency into your ads, sales presentations, and marketing messages. Whether supplies are limited or prices are going up at the end of the month, some prospects need to have a deadline or an incentive to motivate them to take action now.</p>
<p>Time sensitive!</p>
<p>Create a marketing plan to identify and capitalize on your strengths and opportunities. Your marketing strategies should also take into account factors such as your weaknesses (and possible remedies), external threats (competition, economic factors, etc.), your marketing mix strategy (products/services, promotional goals, pricing strategy, and distribution decisions), media strategy, sales and expense budgets, target market analysis (know your customers), and readily available marketing tools, as well as marketing tools that you need to research or acquire.</p>
<p>Run the SWOT test on your Online Business.</p>
<p>Strengths - Weakness&#8217; - Oppotunities - Threats</p>
<p>So, what is marketing? Marketing is the process of interesting potential customers and clients in your products and/or services.<br />
Researching, promoting, selling, and distributing your products or services.</p>
<p>Essentially marketing involves everything you do to get your potential customers and your product or service together.<br />
When you&#8217;re putting together a marketing program for your business, concentrate on the marketing basics, the four key components of any marketing plan:</p>
<p>Products and Services<br />
Promotion<br />
Distribution<br />
Pricing</p>
<p>The name of the game in marketing is attracting and retaining a growing base of satisfied customers.</p>
<p>As you can see Marketing is one half of &#8220;Internet Marketing&#8221;. You should treat the two equally.</p>
<p>To improve your knowledge you will need to get a book or two on small business marketing to get a fresh approach to your online business instead of reading through tons of mostly junk ebooks copied and refreshed to your inbox.</p>
<p>Get serious about your business and get professional.</p>
<p>YOUR CUSTOMERS WILL LOVE YOU FOR IT.</p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Check out the great tool below to check how you dance.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">I bet most don’t know that Google has two other servers that can be used for searching. The search results on them also change during the monthly PageRank update and make up part of the Google dance. </p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Fluctuations sometimes occur in the search results, but they should not be confused with the actual dance. They are due to Google’s fresh crawl and is known as “Everflux”. Google has two other searchable servers apart from <a href="http://www.google.com/">www.google.com</a>. They are www2.google.com and www3.google.com. Most of the time, the results on all 3 servers are the same, but during the dance, they are different.  </p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">For most of the dance, the rankings that can be seen on www2 and www3 are the new rankings that will transfer to www when the dance is over.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Even though the calculations are done about 40 times, the final rankings can be seen from very early on. This is because, during the first few iterations, the calculated figures merge to being close to their final figures.  </p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">During the dance, the results from www2 and www3 will sometimes show on the www server, but only for a short time. Also, new results on www2 and www3 can disappear for short periods.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Note; At the end of the dance, the results on www will match those on www2 and www3.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Here is the little tool created by a friend called Lasse Hedegaard. His Google Dance Tool allows you to check your rankings on all three tools <a href="http://google.fergusons.dk/">“Google Dance Tool”</a> and on all 9 datacenters simultaneously.</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Enjoy.</p>
