Hey everyone. It’s been a while and I wanted to get this quick post out to let you know my mentor Alex Jeffreys is at it again and has written one heck of a new ebook just ready for you to devour. Unreported Marketing is a great read and will help you determine where you are while you are learning online and should help you realize that Alex knows what he’s talking about.
Most people have that burning question of “How To Make Money Online” but never really think it’s possible. Alex has a great way of breaking everything down into bite sized chunks. “Sometimes large chunks” LOL

A long time ago when I was searching online for ways to make money using the internet, I always seemed to come across all kinds of websites that focused on “make money online” on their sales page but then when I got inside and saw what it took to make the money, it always turned out that I needed to learn how to do “internet marketing” in order to make the money online.
Now this is pretty confusing because so many information product owners flat out sell their marketing materials as “make money online” programs or systems. No wonder millions of people get frustrated when trying to figure out the difference between the two.
Hey it’s Michael here and I know you wouldn’t be reading this unless you were “seriously” finally to throw in the towel as to trying to figure out all of this “Internet marketing” and “make money online” stuff. I know you are frustrated and tired of all the so called gurus and systems out there promising the world.
Well I can safely say right here on my blog that there has been something in the works during the past year or so that is going to make you very happy. Two of my good friends, Garry Parkes and Gary Simpson have been where you are and have succeeded in what you are trying to accomplish online.
For over a year, I’ve been running SimpleEcovers.com and have made it very successful. I’m glad to announce that I have made my 3rd major change to the website and have now included a whole new look and feel along with an affiliate program too!
The site originally had simple Paypal buttons and just a few options to purchase graphics from me but now over a year later, I’m glad to see it grow to where I can finally add the affiliate program. Now I’ve always hated websites that advertised right up front about affiliate programs because people would use my affiliate link to go to a site and then see that it offered an affiliate program. Then my prospect simply signs up to be an affiliate themselves and then purchases the product with their own affiliate link
Over the past year or so I’ve been running my online business free from the boss that so many of you have in your daily lives. I never thought that I knew enough about anything to create my own products and services but I proved myself wrong by creating and running a successful online graphics business.
Simple Ecovers makes me a full time living online but it’s time to switch gears a little in my journey as it’s time to do more than just graphics for people on the internet. I’ve learned so much about mindset, customer service, planning, list building, product creation and more. Needless to say my upcoming success will be dependent upon the continuing service I’ve always provided.

Hey everyone, it’s been a little while since I just sat down and wrote some hard core content. No advertisements, no affiliate links. Not even any recommendations, (at least not yet.) As many of you know, I got my start online by giving away graphics in a forum of a mentoring course I took last March. Since then I’ve grown my business by supplying other marketers with ecovers and website design.
Hey everyone. I just wanted to give a quick post on a topic that seems to haunt almost everyone who tries it. It’s list building. I’ve been working online as a graphic designer for a while now and admit I haven’t done my due diligence in creating and maintaining a mailing list. Only recently have I been giving away a graphics pack to build my list.
I came across something that has given me 53 subscribers in just a few hours and by the time this post is up for 24 hours I will let you know even how much more it has grown.
As many of you know, Alex Jeffreys was my mentor and helped me to be able to quit my day job to go full time online. I have sat through two of his coaching courses and watched as he transformed hundreds of peoples lives for the better. Alex is not only my mentor, he’s my friend.
As this year winds down, Alex has decided to give what I consider the best freebie of the year and I’m not just talking about what Alex has given, I’m talking about the entire online marketing community as a whole. Alex doesn’t just give you a bunch of rehashed marketing junk but what he’s giving away right now is actual coaching for free.

Throughout all my years on the internet, I have totally burned out so many times after trying to learn so many methods and so many products.
I now chalk this up to information overload and have written a short report about getting back to basics and how to start treating this online thing like a business.
Go ahead and sign up below to get your copy so you can save yourself from information overload.
Update: I also just wanted to let all of you know that today is a special day for me too. Because I just did what most of you have been wanting to do for a long time now. I just quit my job!
I just spent the last four days and five nights in the city that never sleeps. Las Vegas is on heck of a town with the most beautiful and most amazing scenery of a city that I’ve seen in a while. The funny thing is that when you stop to look closely around, you can see a different scene.
