2009 Draws To A Close and Looking Forward to 2010…


So its been a while since I last posted as I have suffered a minor setback in my Internet venture, which has namely been a relocation move with my existing job. In the meantime I trust everyone had a Merry Christmas and hopefully is not still on a Turkey diet!

In a nutshell I have moved to Birmingham (from London) for a placement for approximately 18months. The benefits being that I will have a lot more time to spend on leisure and more importantly my Internet venture as I have moved away from a crowded commute on the tube to a short walk to work (which is bliss!).

Andrew Reynolds Entrepreneurs Bootcamp 2009


I have just spent the weekend at the O2 Arena at Andrew Reynolds Entrepreneurs Bootcamp 2009, which was an interesting event with some great speakers and authorities on topics such as Internet Marketing, Copywriting, Google Adwords, Direct Response Marketing, Ebay and Motivation.

The speakers over the 2 days were Andrew Reynolds himself plus Pat Mesiti, Adam Ginsberg, Armand Morin, Brett McFall, Kirt Christensen, Andy Harrington, Simon Coulson, Chris Howard, Tom Hua & Joel Comm. What a line up, safe to say that I learnt loads of useful tips and techniques, which I will share with you….

Microsoft & Yahoo Team Up To Challenge Google


So I am back from yet another holiday, travelling round Europe where I took in Oktoberfest (at least what I can remember of it!!) and its time to pick up the reigns where I left off and continue my education and journey online.

One interesting piece of breaking news that looks to be very pertinent in the online world and will affect a number of us, particularly those who are active in PPC, was highlighted by Ryan Deiss over at drivingtraffic.com:

Revealed: The Secret Listbuilding Tactic Of The Gurus


Hello again everyone, its been a while as I have been away on holiday, which has given me plenty of time to reflect back on what I have learned thus far and to refine my plans and strategies for online success.

Whilst I am still relatively new to online business, I have been learning diligently with some of the best guys out there, particularly Alex Jeffreys as detailed in my earlier post Failing to plan is planning to fail.

So far it hasn’t been often that I am asked to review products online, usually I just get offers to promote the “next big thing” as an affiliate, but today this post is very unique.

Newbies Nightmare


I’m not going to be talking about the great ebook Newbies Nightmare by my mentor Alex Jeffreys, but more so 2 of the major problems that we face when starting out online.

 Technical Skills

Many people starting out online will be computer literate but not experienced webmasters, programmers or IT gurus. I fit into this category.

Therefore we may need to outsource tasks in order to avoid them taking far longer than necessary and to call on others expertise. Whilst I will talk in more detail about outsourcing at a later date as I develop more experience with the process and get some tangible evidence, I can assure you that it is not actually as expensive as it may seem!
