Starting out eight years ago on my online business was full of minefields
and expensive mistakes. I got ripped off simply because I didn’t know any better; you could say I was as green as grass!

I don’t mind making mistakes but when they were costing $1000’s of dollars, we’ll something had to change.

First there was the program I joined that cost $1500 it turned out to be a complete rip off from a well known scammer here in the UK.

Next I joined a very expensive training program to learn how to sell on eBay I think that was $2000 I got weekly training one on one calls but they were as much use as a chocolate tea pot! I did actually go on to have a very good selling career on eBay for many years selling thousands of products but it wasn’t thanks to them!

Then there have been countless eBook purchases some turned out great and some (most) recommended by some guru or other turned out to be pure rubbish or the next best thing to it!

I was getting disillusioned fast, nothing was working I was losing faith in eBay as they were in control of my business not me! I wanted more, I wanted diversity and I wanted control not others.

Then one day I got an email from Craig Beckta telling me about this special private club that he belonged to. I checked the info and to be honest I wasn’t impressed! The sales blurb was dated and cranked out in courier font. However I thought it’s a Clickbank product I can get a refund if it’s rubbish. So I signed up!

We’ll in a word (or three) it wasn’t rubbish it was a goldmine! The value to Internet Marketers is tremendous! The content is top draw and so are the members. Need the answer to a question and plenty of people rush to help out. These guys don’t shoot anyone down there is just respect!

Every week Dennis buys us new stuff to absorb including Warrior Special Offers (WSO’s) if the authors rules permit that is. Then there are new bits of software and the latest is a complimentary membership to Learn One Thing A Day, which has to be seen to be believed it’s an exciting concept that has me on the edge of my seat waiting for the days quick nugget.

There are go to guys in there that are true experts and are willing to share what they know for nothing, I have learned so much from them!

This place has stopped me wasting money I only have to log in and see what others think of the latest offering being launched that day! I’ve saved more than a few pennies doing that! On the flip side there are plenty of thumbs up on what is great!

The real meat however is the dedicated areas that focus on numerous business models and how to make them make money for you.

P.S As I’m writing this I’m expecting Dennis’s weekly email that will tell me what’s of interest in the club and what value by means of downloads he has grabbed on our behalf this week! Priceless!!

Guys I logged into a private forum that I belong to today and saw the heads up on this post made by Ryan Healy. I hadn’t heard of the guy to be honest before today.

To cut a long story very short he has named a lot of gurus and some questionable practices. It has how shall I put it… mhhh caused quite a stir!!

If you fancy a bit of entertainment you might want to check it out.

The post is short but the comments wow!!

Very enlightening !

We’ll it was bound to happen sooner or later, wasn’t it? In September last year Amazon.com stopped it’s affiliates direct linking to its pages using Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing like Google Adwords. Now this is to be implemented on the Amazon.co.uk site from 1/2/2010 (2/1/2010 USA date format).

So come the first of February all affiliates can only use PPC IF they direct the traffic to their own site first.

In addition and I quote direct from the Amazon email I got so that I get it right…

“In addition, as of February 1, 2010 we will no longer pay referral fees on purchases made by customers who are referred to www.amazon.co.uk or www.javari.co.uk via Free Search Results. Free Search Results are links containing an Associate’s tag displayed in a search engine’s free, natural, or organic search results in response to a search query which send customers directly to an Amazon site without the customer first being sent to an Associate’s site and the customer clicking on a link to arrive at the Amazon site.”

So if you are an affiliate who is still direct linking you will need to contact them and change your declared method of advertising if it is stated as PPC. If you don’t then they will delete your account.

You know of course these big guys can do what they want with their advertising program I have no issue with that. But surely giving what two weeks notice is just a bit below the belt isn’t it. Anybody wouldthink they don’t want to look after their affiliates!!

So you have been warned you have until the 1st Feb 2010 to get your house in order.

This is a great watch! You have $5 and you have only 2 hours to make as much money as possible. What do ya do? Before you do watch it think how would you do it?? Come on play the game!

Mine was nothing Internet related! Washing cars was the first thing or selling sandwiches.

You will be surprised to see what some of these guys came up with! A great thought provoker, and just shows you that there is always money to be made! All is revealed here.

A slightly different post today! I’m working on a new project and have bought two domain names for it, mainly because I couldn’t decide between the two! Can you help me?

Without going into a lot of major detail it involves setting something up in my local area. The two domains have these keywords in them “thisarea” and “ourturf” Logic dictates that I use the domain name that has “thisarea” in it, however for branding purposes and memorability I quite like the one with “ourturf” in it.

So what do you think, do I go with logic or do I do with my heart? Your comments as always are appreciated.
