Sometimes you can overly complicate this business.... it's not that difficult, unless you over analyse it all.... so DONT!

Sometimes, because of the amount of money that you can make in this business, we, ( online marketers ), can be guilty of forgetting that not everyone comes into this industry because they want to become a multi-millionaire! I am incredibly happy with this lifestyle that online marketing is giving me, and although I am making a very good income, I am certainly not a millionaire (yet! lol). What if instead of talking about the millions to be made online, I said to you, that you could double your current salary, and halve the hours that you are currently working. The price you have to pay? .... You have to be prepared to learn some new skills, and work fairly hard for the next six months or so.... Do you think that's a good deal? (Yes I would have thought so too!).

This video explains why I think that when it comes to Internet Marketing, it isn't just about the financial rewards. When you learn how to make money online, because of the amount of automation and leverage you can apply, your actual hours spent "working" are much less than a conventional job or business....leaving you the time to choose what YOU want to do!

I had a bit of a eureka moment recently. I realised that with the knowledge I now have of this industry, that I no longer consider myself to be a "newbie". It's all fallen into place and I can now see the big picture.

I decided to make this quick video as, I have had a few calls and e-mails from people who have been following me, to explain what I have been doing for the last few weeks. For one I have moved to a fabulous new home, still in Ascot, that kept me busy! But the main reason is I have moved from "can I make money online?" to "I am doing too many hours!". You see my main reason for coming into this industry wasn't primarily for the money, (although it's very nice lol), it was for time freedom. I reached a point a few weeks ago where I felt I was spending too much time working, due to the amount of opportunities available, and not enough playing! So I took some time out to revaluate my original goals, and sort myself out quite frankly!

Still it's a nice problem to have :-).

Well to say January and February have been busy months would be a bit of an understatement! It would seem in these uncertain times, more and more people are considering the possibility of trying to make money online, enabling them to control their own futures.

I wanted to make these videos, so that people who are contemplating working with me have a realistic idea of just what the reality of making a living on the internet is all about.....

I would like to add that it's not, as my wife suggested, because I wanted to make a post with the word NAKED in the title ;-)

The main motivating factor for me, coming into this industry, was not the money. Although I wanted a decent income it was more about gaining time. Time to do what I chose to do, and to do it with the people I chose to do it with, my family and friends.

Well after a conversation with a friend of mine, and with my wife Kate, I realised that I have practically achieved that within 12 months!

So the money is nice .... but it's not the be all and end all!

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to All.... and may 2010 be prosperous for You and Yours

What mindset really means is belief or faith. Not blind faith, but belief in yourself and your abilities. Self-belief will drive you forward where others give up, and it is vital you either have it, or you develop it.

Human beings are incredible, and the power of the human mind would put the most sophisticated of computers to shame! Yet most people never use thier mind to it's full potential. Why? Well in part to pre-conditioning. Do you recognise any of these sayings....

" Don't get ideas above your station"
" Don't aim to high, you will only be dissapointed"
" You won't be able to do that you are too small/slow/stupid"

.... get the picture?

Well I have news for you, only YOU control what goes into your head. YOU choose what you want to believe, YOU are in charge of your own mind. Whatever you want to do have belief in yourself, because if you don't believe in yourself, why would anyone else believe in you?

It never ceases to amaze me the number of "internet marketing experts" who advocate that all you need to do to make money online is find a high ticket product to sell, drive traffic to a website with a hard hitting sales page, and then watch the money roll in....24 hours a day seven days a week. You may well be laughing if you have some experience of marketing online, but literally hundreds, thousands even of people new to the industry are relived of anything from £1500 to £10,000, every week. Why? Because the "internet marketing experts" tell them about their high ticket business opportunity, tell them this is all they have to do, and take their money.

These "experts" may make some money initially, but because their strategy is flawed, (or completley and totally wrong as I would call it), they soon dissapear, leaving the newbie several thousand out of pocket, totally disillusioned, and sceptical of the whole industry. So for the benefit of the inexperienced, thinking about joining our online marketing industry, let me give you some food for thought, before you believe the so called "gurus".

If you want to make marketing on the internet really rewarding financially, then undoubtedly, at some point you should add a high ticket business opportunity or product to your arsenal. However selling this type of product is not the same as selling a 20 dollar ebook. Would you go to a glitzy, shouty, flashy website and hand over, say £3000, to someone you don't know, because he says that you should? Of course not (if you would then you are going to end up very poor my friend, unless you are incredibly lucky!). So what does it take for someone to spend that kind of money  on a business opportunity? Well I know that 4 requirements have to be met:

1. They have to get to know you, to evaluate what kind of a person you are.

2. They have to like you, enough to be able to work with you.

3. They have to trust you.

4. They have to believe that the opportunity is right for them.

If you satisfy all 4 requirements, then you probably have a new business partner. Why? Because people prefer to buy from people they know, like and trust. As for the opportunity, well if you are reccomending that it is right for them, then they know that it must be, or you wouldn't reccomend it.....they know that they can trust you. And if you want longevity in this business, then you had better not betray that trust!

So how do you satisfy the above four requirements? Well....

Get their email address and build a relationship with them. Help them. Offer advice. Educate them. Be open and honest. Give them helpful resources. Do it for FREE. If you are honest and act in their best interest, they will come to realise that they need to invest in a high ticket business opportunity sooner or later, they will work it out for themselves.

And when they do come to the conclusion that they need to invest several thousand pounds with someone, is it fair to say that they will look for someone who has helped them, guided them and acted with their best interests in the past? Someone they know? Someone they like? Someone they know they can trust? YOU?...... YES YOU!
