For those of you who have been coached by Alex Jeffreys during his latest mentoring program have already heard about or are planning on attending a two day power packed event in Las Vegas on May 29th and 30th of this year. There will be much to be gained by going to this event for me as I have several projects in the works and a recent successful launch of my SimpleEcovers.com site.
Most of you who come to my blog know that over the last few months I’ve been designing ecovers and minisites for free to Alex Jeffreys students and those who were needing help with getting their graphics done.
After some poking and prodding from those of you who like my work, I decided to launch SimpleEcovers.com, a website designed to give the online business owner vision for their products and services. I failed forward creating my site and making it functional for all of you.
Over the past few months, I’ve been working this business online with the intention of giving as much as I can to a community of fellow entrepreneurs who likewise give of their time and talents to help me and others. I have seen a social family emerge and if it weren’t for those people who continue to give their time and efforts to encourage and help others, I probably would have quit long ago.

If you have ever wondered how in the world people all over the globe work from the comforts of their homes with no employees and make a nice living online, then I want to show you something. I’ve written a book called The Power Of Virtual Leverage “Getting Your Computer To Work For You.”
I explain that your computer can do virtually anything and I show you how to take it and leverage it so you can run a successful online business from home. Many people wonder how this is done and I get a lot of questions about it. I realized that I needed a business plan in order to be successful and like many of you, I just bought product after product hoping to just get rich.

As I look at my last blog post, I realize it has been a week since I wrote it. I have been spending the extra time I have creating graphics and redesigning my blog. As I go through other Alex Jeffreys student blogs, I see that they are busy posting and getting content that will draw visitors to their sites. I want to publicly say that I’ve dropped the ball.
Hey I decided to make a video to show how in the world I figured out how to get traffic for free and fast to your website or blog without paying anything.
To save time I signed up to Youtube and created my account. I included everything necessary to upload videos and even created my own channel.
Then I downloaded a free 30 day trial of Camtasia Studio 6 to make my free videos with. I made my first video and uploaded it to Youtube and watched the results.
Man, last night was awesome! We listened in on four solid hours with Alex Jeffreys and I have five full pages of notes to go through. Module 6 is where we are at the moment and Alex called it “Triple Threat Affiliate.” This apparently is the name Andrew Fox gave Alex after he showed him how he doubled his income without growing his list by using unique tactics in his email marketing campaign.
If you want to know how to get people to come back to your blog, then let me suggest to you that you begin to interact with the people who leave comments on your blog. Many people go and leave comments on blogs just to promote their products and get backlinks to their own website.
Remember guys, Alex Jeffreys warned to “Not Pimp Your Sh-t!” People who read your comments can tell if you are trying to sell to them or not so just don’t do it. If you are offering real value when commenting on other people’s blogs it will pay off over time.
As I strive to make my online business a success, I find that the tools you use will help determine that success. Many people online use a variety of services for their business and as I come across successful websites, I take the time to see what tools and services they use so that I can eventually duplicate their success.
Below you will find essential tools that I use to create products for my online business. You may use some of the same tools or you may have something else that works better. I am always open to new suggestions so your comments will be appreciated.
If you are anything like me, then during your trek to earn money online you have no doubt amassed a collection of private label rights or master resell rights products on your hard drive. The question I have for you is, “Did you buy them to resell or did you buy them to use?”
For me it was to resell but just like many of you, I never got around to selling much of anything let alone even using the products I purchased. As I finally take a serious look at my online business and how I am running it, I have realized that I have a massive amount of wealth on my hard drive.
