I really wonder how many of Alex Jeffreys students took the challenge of planning their yearly goals. I just finished watching the two videos from Alex that explains how he planned his 2008 business year. I’ve got to say he not only matched it, he surpassed it in awesome fashion.
I have no doubt that Alex did not just stumble upon his wealth nor did he become one of the lucky ones. He has planned out beforehand and managed to create products for free with fantastic up sells with the purpose of them building upon one another. Again, he could not have done this without proper planning.

In this post I would like to let you know of some of the ways I have seen people building their lists of opt in subscribers. Over the years I have filled in many opt in forms and paid close attention to how my name was acquired.
In order to get a free report or newsletter is was required that I fill in an opt in form. This method gets lots of sign ups because of the fact that free material was offered. It is very important that the free material is of great value to the prospect.

Finding hype on the internet is easy because it seems that was all that I have found during my quest to find legitimate people online who were actually interested in my online success. I have definitely found the real deal in Alex Jeffreys who has been phenomenal in giving his time and talents to truly help us succeed online.
His interactive video webinars are perfect and have helped me tremendously but there was something more I needed. If you haven’t heard of Sara Brown and Tony Shepherd yet then you’ll be in for a treat. These two have quietly made over six figures for many years by being honest, trustworthy and obviously dedicated to helping others to succeed in their online businesses.
I am completely impressed by many of Alex Jeffreys other students who have taken massive action when it comes to “just doing it.” Alex has given some great advice and coaching on getting the traffic to out websites but man, what good is it if I haven’t much content on my site?
I admit that I have been slow to write concerning the training and implementing the much needed work that it takes to get this website flowing. This is proof however that it does take work and effort to successfully build a profitable online business that provides value and service.

Creating value is easy when people have a need or want that they are concerned about. It is because the value was created by them. It’s your job in business to provide the need or want in a way that relieves people of their pain or causes them pleasure.
In this case I am providing a need to people who are not quite sure how to get the most out of their computers. I realize that your computer is a potential workhorse and it’s capabilities far exceeds the ability of mortal man. When properly used, one person in their bedroom at home can replicate the ability of an entire company.

Building a business is fun and frustrating to say the least but when the results of your hard work give people value and put money in your pocket, it’s well worth it. There are so many business models out there that in reality are so much alike that it’s not even funny. Take McDonalds and Burger King for example.
Both sell burgers and fries but what is the money maker? Other than the slight differences in their taste, they are basically both just burger and fry stores. The difference is their branding. They go all out to market themselves as “different” than everybody else. Their colors, logos, commercials, etc.. differentiate themselves from the rest.

I can’t believe it has really taken me so many years to finally “start” an online business. Yes I have created products and have also created cool graphics for many of the resale rights or private label rights products that I have purchased but I never ever got the business side of things started. I believe that’s why over 95% of people fail online. They never got the business side of things figured out.
For those of you who don’t know I have been trying to make money online for the past five years or so. I have done a variety of programs and purchased a number of books over the years but have not had success at any of them.

It has been a couple of weeks since the beginning of this project. After going through some training, it was necessary to first set up this blog. The reason is so that I can track my progress and also help others to do the same things as me but with the hopes that you do not have to go through the struggles that I do as I show you what I’ve learned.

Now it has been a couple of days and I have gone through the first module of Alex Jeffreys online coaching program. Before I even get started in relaying what I have learned, I need to explain to a lot of you why getting a mentor is necessary.
First off, if I didn’t need a mentor then why am I failing at earning money online? You might want to ask yourself this if you haven’t already. Second, I am convinced that there are no get rich quick schemes that actually work for people like you and I. Even if there was, it would be a one hit wonder and not the kind of business I really want to associate myself with anyways.
