Just wanted to post a hilarious funny video from the worlds most talented ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham and his friend Bubba J.  I had the privilege to see his show a few years ago and it was two whole hours with crazy laughter;-).  I promise you will have a great laugh too!

Enjoy and have a great weekend

Cheers

In my next to-three posts I will guide you so you can get your first sale online.  Let’s get rolling…..

1. Find a marked you would like to work with.  It will be an advantage if it is something you like because it will just help you get started if your are new to IM. How to pick a market is one skill you should not underestimate, if you fail here everything else is a waist of time. Read the rest of this entry »

Did you know that the Internet was invented by the US Department of Defense as a means of communication if we were attacked by Russia? True, and it was in 1969. The WWW on the other hand was invented by an Englishman called Tim Berners-Lee in Switzerland in 1989. The Internet dates back to the 1950s and 60s, although few of us knew of it then as it was part of the American defense system.

Now that the we are well in to a new decade I thought it would be nice to reflect a little bit on the history so far.  How businesses have related, are relating and will relate to Internet:

In 1999 it was maybe 5% of the brick and mortar business that had a website, and they all looked like brochure.  In the early 2000 around 10% of the brick and mortar business had a website, and they still looked like a brochure.  In the mid 2000 around 30% of the rick and mortar business had a website.  Then something rear to happen.  About 10% of those started to “get it”.  They started to wonder if this website that looked like a brochure actually could bring some value and money to the business.  They started to look in the concept of what we know as “Internet marketing”.  And at this point in 2005-2006 the concept of “Internet marketing” started to become main stream.  We started to reach what researchers call a “tipping point”, meaning that when x number of people use or do a certain this we all start to do so as well.

We all know how overwhelming it can be when you first start out in the online industry.  You are probably being bombarded with email from different marketers trying to sell you their latest “secret” to generate massive free traffic.  Heard it before I guess, but don’t worry, I am not trying to sell you anything here except a strategy to work a bit smarter to achieve faster success online.  If you follow these three steps it is a good chance you will be successful and without being to overwhelmed, which probably is the biggest success killer for any online entrepreneur.

Think about it, how many things have you not been told that you need to master to be a successful Internet marketer?  The list is around 50 different skills and still growing: SEO, article marketing, forum marketing, PPC, Pay Per view, Marked research, Keyword research, Product Creation, Copy writing and writing sales letters, HTML, ftp, php, Wordperss, Shopping Carts, Merchant Account, Jpint Ventures, Affiliates, Web 2.0, Social Media, Email list Building, Autoresponders just to mention a few and the list goes on.  So no wonder most people never achieve any success online when this is the strategy you are being bombarded with.  If you are anything like us you have to wonder where to start?  And it’s a good question because they are all great skills to master, but some of these takes months and sometimes years to master.  Just the SEO skills alone is a huge topic and it will take a lot of time to become an expert.
