I just got home from a seminar that Alex Jeffreys hosted
in Las Vegas. And, I’ve gotta say… it was excellent!

It made me realize that meeting people live and in person
may be one of the biggest keys to Internet Business success
that very few people understand.

Alex talked about this at the event. He explained how he
traveled “across the pond” many, many times to various
Internet Marketing seminars and meeting the players in
this game on multiple occasions.

He explained that attending these live events and meeting
the key players allowed him to “shortcut” his path to success.

He told a story of one seminar that Mike Filsaime walked up
to him, put his arm around him and asked him if he’d like to
join him for lunch.

And, after people witnessed that, they instantly started asking
Alex what time he was going to be speaking. This, as Alex
explained gave him instant credibility just because of the law of
“guilty by association”. (Is that actually a natural law?)

Being able to ask questions, meet and interact with other attendees,
interact and ask question of speakers and just hang out and drink
a few beers trading stories and getting to know one another goes
miles and miles in establishing yourself in your Internet Marketing
career.

All of those benefits of attending live events can be considered
“side-effects”, and that the content and learning material covered
in the seminar or workshop itself is the main benefit.

But, many who are in the know, would argue that the curriculum
of the workshop and the things you can learn from the content are
the side-effects and that the networking and building of relationships
is the main benefit.

I tend to agree with the latter.

After attending Alex’s seminar/workshop, I would have to say that
if you aren’t making an effort to attend workshops and live events
in this industry, then I would have to say that you really aren’t serious
about owning and operating a real, successful Internet Business.

So, if you aren’t attending live events and you are serious about
wanting to make your Internet Business successful, I’m sure I’ll be
seeing you at one of the next seminars.

I know I’ll be there! Will you?

As someone who’s just starting out on my journey to
become financially independent by setting up and
running a successful Internet Business, I have trouble
with this issue constantly.

The issue is how to balance study and action.

No matter how far along in the journey of being an
Internet Entrepreneur anyone who may be reading this
is, I’m sure they’ve struggled with this issue as well.

The thing is is that there are so many things that
seemingly need to be studied.

For example, Marketing online is actually just one
form, method or media of marketing. Although it
is, in my opinion the best medium for marketing
that has ever been invented, you still have to first
know how to market.

So, before anyone thinks they can just get online,
set up a website and start selling things, they have
to know some basics about marketing and/or selling.

Study of the art of selling through the use of the written
word is a necessity to be able to create a sale online.

Some of the other major areas one must have some
basic skills or knowledge about are the technical things
that need to be done in order to even be able to get a
website online or be to able to distribute an affiliate link
in the proper places.

The technical side of an Internet Marketing business
can be somewhat mind-numbing even for the most
advanced marketers.

Having to hone your skills or acquire the knowledge
needed to be able to market online in an of itself can
be an all consuming endeavor.

Studying just the technical things that need to be done
for an Internet Business requires either enormous amounts
of time or some capital investment. And then there’s the
actual marketing knowledge that must be acquired to have
any sort of success.

Gaining the skills and knowledge of the marketing and
technical aspects can and will consume enormous amounts
of time.

Therein lies the problem.

If you’re spending enormous amounts of time to acquire
the skills and knowledge that it takes to run an Internet
Business, it is most likely that you aren’t being paid while
you acquire these skills and knowledge.

So, how does one sustain a job that pays the bills
while nurturing their entrepreneurial skills, maintain any
sort of relationship with family and friends and keep their
sanity while at the same time figure out how to derive an
income from an Internet Business?

Unfortunately, there is not an easy answer to that question.

As I’ve found, (and probably you have too) anything in life
that is worthy of achieving or acquiring because you feel
that being able to achieve or acquire that thing, or things
would make you successful according to your own standards,
is going to have challenges in the attainment of those things.
(whew, that was a mouthful!)

The fact of the matter is is that when you and I have questions
like this as “newbies”, we’re just going to have to ask for help.

We’re going to have to find someone who is doing exactly
what we are trying to do, having the exact results that we
are trying to attain and go and ask them how they did what
they did and if they have some advice for us.

In other words, find a mentor.

It’s a double edged sword really. It could be considered
ironic even but, you have to keep studying how other people
have done it and are doing it.

I think the trick is to study AND implement at the same time
if at all possible. In other words, implement what you learn
as soon as it is possible and feasible to do so.

I guess I would liken it to building a house out of bricks.
You have to build it one brick at a time. Place a brick, trowel
some mortar, place a brick trowel some mortar, place a brick,
trowel some mortar……..

and on and on until one day there is a fully built house
sitting in front of you. Or, in our case a fully functioning
Internet Business that’s bringing in cash automatically from
all of the things we’ve learned and implemented along our
journey.

I hope what I’ve written here has helped you if you too have
been struggling with this issue.

As I’ve been thinking about this issue, I came across this
little report (that had resale rights to it) and thought I would
give you a chance to pick it up for a very reasonable price.
(Only $27 – $7)

It covers some of what we’ve been talking about here and
has a few sections in it that talks about planning and how
to at least create a “Daily-Mini Plan”.

Just click the link below, PayPal the $7 over and I’ll email
the report to you.

I’ll have this set up on it’s on page soon so it’s delivered
instantly. But for now, just click the “Buy Button” and I’ll
send it over ASAP!

Thanks for reading and I look forward to sharing more
useful information to help you and I build our Internet
Marketing Empires!

Hi Friends!

I hope all of your holiday celebrations and get-togethers
were fun and relaxing. My holidays were decent.

As Forest Gump would say….”That’s all I’ve got to say
about that….”

Moving on…..

I just wanted to share a realization with anyone who may
be checking in on my progress on my journey to Online
Wealth.

I came to this realization while in deep thought about
what it really takes to be successful in this whole Internet
Marketing game.

And the realization is this (or epiphany, if you will):

To win in the Internet Marketing game, you have to
constantly, consistently and forever, be……

WRITING!

For anyone whose been at this game for a while,
your going to say “well, duh…!”

But, here’s the thing…..

It never really dawned on me how much writing
a person has to do every single day to be successful
in this business.

Come to think of it, the amount of success you have
in any business as an entrepreneur may be directly
linked to the amount of writing you do while engaged
in that business.

I’m sure someone has done a study or tracked or
measured the level of success top entrepreneurs
have had based on the amount of writing they do
in their day-to-day business activities.

If not, there should be a study done.

Back to my epiphany…..

I realized that the only reason the Internet
even exists is for the purpose of exchanging
information.

And the main mode of information exchange
is through the written word.

So, If you and I are hoping to achieve any
level of success in our Internet Marketing
careers, we’re going to have to do alot
of writing.

Also, when I talk about the act of writing,
it includes any writing you do for your business.
From the writing you do for planning and the
writing you would have to do for a sales video
script.

It seems simple enough but to keep a steady
flow of communication going through writing,
you have to be very disciplined to push yourself
to make sure you are writing something every
single day.

That’s it for now.

I hope you come to the same realizations in
your efforts to succeed in business. Especially
if it’s an Internet Marketing Business.

Talk soon,

Jed
