Let me tell you quickly …
the blog post title
“Alex Jeffreys Goes Underground”
is “NOT” because …
I flew out to Washington DC last week to meet
Yanik Silver at the “Underground” Seminar
and “NO”
the title of this blog post is “NOT” because
i’ve been traveling around on the London
Underground this week either …”NO”
Infact …
its for a much more serious
reason that includes you …
Read on – listen up & get ready
for your very own plan of attack,
Because If you remember … Last month,
I added a video to this blog (video link)
In the video i spoke about how i plan to
build a million dollar business in 2009
IMPORTANT:
in the video i spoke directly about
the importance of planning …
and how there’s “NO” chance of being a
success online if you don’t plan to be,
(and i really mean that)
IT MAKES SENSE RIGHT
Planning is key !!!
we’ll since that video i have to admit
that i done “NO” planning what so ever,
It sucks – i know,
but before i move on – i have a question,
HAVE YOU DONE ANY PLANNING ?
(if ”NOT” don’t panic – im here to give you a plan)
But take this onboard first,
I was taught a few years back by a
very successful off-line millionaire,
there are just “TWO” sides to business
“Results and Excuses”
and I *HATE* excuses -
Alex Jeffreys is a person who is driven
by total results,
BUT – today im making up an excuse.
(its a good one, i think?
if there’s such a thing as a “good excuse” ?)
and my excuse is ..
… ive been non stop traveling since
I created that video just a few weeks
back in mid January,
and all this travel put back my plans,
*********
SIDE NOTE: – Im about to tell you my plan
to make “YOU” alot of money but you need
to help me help you … okay ?
*********
Let me get this excuse off my
chest first though …
As you will see in these pictures
I love to take on an adventure in life,
we started our travels in Orlando
here i’m riding the largest sling-shot in the world
Skydiving indoor at Florida International Drive wind tunnel
Here’s Myself Katie & Cameron at Disney World Florida
(check out my pluto hat 
Getting ready for our Helicopter Ride over Orlando Theme Parks
Katie & Cameron LOVED IT !!!
Me & Cameron thinking we’re cool in the Muppets 3D show at MGM studios …
Me & Katie thinking we’re even cooler now moved onto the Bahamas …
the next thing i did was get on a boat to a place called
“Shark Junction”
Now i have NEVER looked off a boat and seen
sharks swimming around the boat before,
let alone having to jump off the boat
that is now circled by sharks (doh!)
As we were swimming to the ocean floor
it reminded me of all the internet skarks
after your money …
Here i am feeding the sharks … (I LOVE a good adventure in life)
We then wen’t onto Miami shopping …
(taking a woman shopping is an adventure on its own right !!!)
I then flew back home to the UK for 6 days to drop off my
family before i flew back out to Ft Lauderdale Florida
Below Alex Jeffreys & (the Guru’s Guru) Rich Schefren
in Rich’s office Delray Beach Florida
(u gotta love this dude – i do)
After this AWESOME meeting with the schef-mister
I needed some time to reflect on what i’d learned
so i spent the next week home with my family
chilling out,
before I then jetted back off to Washington DC
By this time i had done so much flying
I upgraded to Virgin first class to DC
thinking I would get some sleep on the plane’s bed
Ha,
They sat me next to my friend and Super Affiliate
Andrew Fox who i didn’t know would be on the same
flight …
It ws serious networking and very thirsty work !!! – (we got no sleep)
So then in DC i met a ton of great people like:
- Yanik Silver
- Mike Filsaime
- Jeff Walker
- Jon Walker
- Jeff Johnson
- Maria Andros
- Brian McElroy
- Mike Koenigs
- Jason James
and a host of other REALLY cool people
and successful online marketers …
but I managed to get away from the fun for a day
and take a tour of the Washington state with my friend
Jason James …
… here we are at The United States Capitol
Then on my return home to the UK last week
I spent just 3 days getting over my Jet-Lag.
before going to London this weekend Shopping with katie,
so as you can imagine
with all this traveling ive been doing
the time that i’ve been home has been limited
to get over Jet Lag and to spend time
with my family.
which brings me to “TODAY”
my first day in the office in over a month,
and now im in the office i plan to start planning,
BUT
I want to plan around giving “YOU”
extreme value,
and my plan is to make “YOU” money
along side ”ME” this year ….
and thats why i want to give you my
next product for free …
SO,
i need to know what you need help with ?
Im asking you to post your comments
below telling me how i can help you,
I need to know:-
what you want to learn ?
and more importantly
what can i do for you ?
where you are stuck ?
what do you feel is getting in your way ?
what makes you mad online ?
these above are just some ideas
but tell me what EVER you like,
*********
THIS HELP IS FOR FREE REMEMBER
*********
So use it wisely …
Now back to the point of the subject line
“Alex Jeffreys Goes Underground”
It’s true – im going into hiding underground …
so if you don’t act now
and post your comments below
how i can help you for free?
you will miss out on what im about
to do for the lucky few who post there
comments below …
The MAIN reason Im going underground
is because,
Way to many people are after my attention,
It’s true …
daily im being bombarded with people asking me
to do Joint Ventures with them
to be interviewed by them
and the list goes on …
etc etc … (it really is a long list)
… you see after my MAJOR success
with my coaching program that has
finished a couple of weeks ago,
im having tens of people ask me daily
to personally work with them,
So you heard it here first,
im turning EVERYTHING off over the coming weeks
and im doing just a few things …
#1 using old fashion pen and paper to “plan”
#2 creating value for my loyal readers < thats you !!!
#3 building my business to generate $1,000.000 this year.
So again,
I CAN help you to become a success online like these people
here is a picture i took yesterday in London
with some of my most successful coaching students,
left to right
My beautiful fiancée Katie,
with: Dean Holland, Dan Briffa, Mark Austin,
Paula Brett, Garry Parkes …
do you want to know what they know about
making money online ?
if you do,
then post your comments below and tell me
how i can help you too …
and i will help you – plus give you my next
product for free,
Remember:
I created
all for free ..
from my loyal readers feedback
so post your comments below
and i will be working to help
you for free too …

Hi Alex,
Just wanted to thank you for everything you provided me with on the recent mentoring course – list building using Giveways is beginning to build my list now along with the other traffic generation tips.
A successful internet business his on its way, along with financial independence!
Enjoy the Underground seminar with the others. Nick James is a great bloke, and another successful internet marketer, like yourself. I’m learnt alot from Nick too.
Looking forward to seeing the video later in the week.
To our success,
Dave (F500 member)
Wow, you sitting with some big names there… can’t wait to see the video.

Alex,
You had me thinkin you made all the money you needed and quit the internet marketing profession!
Good to see you are still with us and look forward to what you have up your sleeve this time.
Knowing how you always overdeliver, I’ll be waiting anxiousley for your next report.
All that sounds great. I would be happy for any help you can give me but I need to get some profits going this month please
This looks very interesting, can’t wait to see it!
Hey Alex,
I’m proud of you for how far you’ve come over the last few years, and it bummed me out when I found out you were at Yanik’s after I canceled my trip at the last second. Was really looking forward to meeting you in person after chatting so much via email over the years.
I’m sure we’ll meet at an event sometime soon, though, and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us all.
Take care,

Hi Alex, great stuff as usual. I posted a comment but the site gave an error. So here goes again.
What systems do you have in place for the running and management of your business and also how much of your system is automated and outsourced?
I’m finding it time consuming and challenging, trying to do it all myself.
Hi Alex!
I wish I had been in that picture with your students. I’m jealous!
Sarah
Alex,
How many frequent flyer miles have you racked up in the last month? Wow!
I’ve been following you since the PLP videos came out.
I would have to say theing I am struggling the most with right now is conversion… how to get people to actually do something.
Looking forward to your next product.
Jeff
Hey Alex… first I want to thank you for all your products, they helped me a lot.
I’ve been learning a lot since I started my web journey, things like traffic, list building, affiliates, products, systems, etc.
The thing I am now stucked is on my blog. How can I turn it in a nice place to share with people what I am doing. I didn’t make a penny yet, but soon I definitely will. I don’t know how to start it. I need ideas.
Anyway, that’s it for now.
All the best
LuizBraz
Hi Alex,
Well, what a motley crew sitting around that table. I “spoke” with quite a few of them on Twitter last night and they all said they had a really “nice” time – LOL!
Gee, does iced tea come with a head on it now, huh? And is THAT really Paula Brett? I didn’t recognise her without her tiara on.
Well, as you know – the Gazz-man is a highly organized individual – but even I get swamped by all the things that I need to do. There never seems to be enough hours in the day – OR night. I have thrown some horrendous hours into my blog and I guess it shows. Along with Parkesy’s it would be the biggest, by far, of all your “studeys.”
Just on that point Parkesy, (I know you will read this) you might be thrashing me on Twitter but I can slam content into my blog like there is NO tomorrow, so don’t aggravate me (PMSL!)
Er, back to your question Alex… Can you invent a time machine and give me and the others some more hours to get things done?
Seriously, your coaching modules were very good and I enjoyed them all and took masses of notes. A few “intermission” breaks in some of the 7 hour webinars would be welcome.

Hey Alex,
Thanks for all the great help and direction as my mentor. Looking forward to the extended coaching sessions AFTER you take that deserved underground rest!
My biggest online gripe deals with the hucksters who make outlandish promises with systems that don’t work but only make them money.
My biggest hurdle is coordinating my planning with actual time committment and time helping family (extended) and friends with real life issues, and not wanting to LIVE in front of the computer all day!
Looking forward to Vegas, mate!
Best regards,

Hi Alex,
I’m freezing my butt off here in Canada and you get to hang out in a nice warm bar in London (I’m originally from Liverpool). I want to come home !!
Looking forward to what you got coming.
Stay Warm
Derek
looking forward to catching up with your mentoring. i got a bit of a slow start and now, as a cpa in the middle of tax season, bwaaaaaa. can’t wait to get out of this rat race.

HI THERE FELLA.
WHAT DO I WANT,,EVERYTHING.
WHAT DO I KNOW,,NOTHING.
WHAT WOULD BE NICE,, EARNING MY FIRST DOLLAR $$
OR MY FIRST POUND ££. THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
YOURS IN FRIENDSHIP ANTONY.
Hey Alex,
Man you do need to slow down.
How about a report on list building 101 (including how you can go about building a relationship with your list as most reports simply don’t cover this.)
Later,
Hugh
Alex, The most helpful items to me would be:
1. Finding a niche market -outside of IM- that is profitable.
2. How to find and hook up with joint venture parnters.
3. Landing page copywriting.
that’s my short list. Thanks for the help so far my business is growing and you’ve been part of that help.
Don Clifton
Hey Alex,
Thanks for your email update, seem like you and some of the F500 gang had some seriously great “fun” time.
Right, this underground business of yours: Extra Value, Extended Coaching Support, More Free Products and support, Jeez, Alex!!!
I think one has to now ask how do we “define” value anymore in order to just keep up with you.
My question is “How do we make money online silently without people knowing?
Anyway, keep up the great work and look forward to seeing you emails, updates, freebies, and whatever you send to our way.
Best Regards
Nigel
Hiya Alex,
I’ve been “Supporting” you, and have been being supported by you, by being on your list for a good little while now, and I must say that I’ve learned a lot from that.
What more could I ask for?
I’d really like to “quit my day J.O.B.”, and be able to travel like you showed above. I really do like riding a roller coaster, and that wind tunnel thing looked to be fun too!
I might have to draw the line at feeding the sharks, because, quite frankly, I think I’ve been feeding some sharks already…
I look forward to learning more from you, and the “free” reports you’re talking about.
Be Well!
ECS Dave
Alex
Gee mate you are really becoming a force to be recond with in the marketing circle.You arw also really racking up the frequent flyer miles.Congra-
ulations and keep up the good work
hi alex, good to put some faces to names. How about a trip downunder, and i’ll introduce you to real beer! thanks for help and support, boy do I need it!
Cheers, Cliff
Hey Alex,
You coaching modules have been great–no one can argue that the F500 is a very special group as a result of you. It was great to finally meet you and hang out at Rich’s office in Florida a few weeks ago.
You are like an energizer bunny man! Well done for taking a well-deserved vacation.
Can’t wait to see the plans you’ve got this year!
Adam
Hey Alex, I love reading all your blogs. Makes me want to get into some kind of internet biz. I need to focus and pick a niche. I’m looking forward to your next project. I want to make my first $$$ online. If I follow you, I know I will.
Did you know that you need a tripod permit to use a tripod at the US Capitol? Yes a tripod permit, no joke
Hey, Alex!
Busy, busy, busy I see, but always learning…always moving forward! You ask how you can help me…you already have! Thanks to your coaching program, I’m taking action and have many plans. If there’s anything I might need help with, it will come later down the line when I begin to spread out into other niches.
Now, let me help you: you’ve mentioned your propensity to catch a cold when travelling around to the various meetings you attend. Go to a “compounding pharmacy” and ask for a bottle of SSKI, that’s Saturated Solution of Potassium (the chemical symbol for potassium is K) Iodide. Note that it’s IODIDE, not IODINE. When you get ready to board a plane, train or bus with a lot of people coughing and sneezing, SSKI will protect you. Before you leave home, put seven drops of SSKI in a normal size glass of water and drink it. When you travel, take the SSKI with you in your shaving kit and take the same dosage before going to bed each night. It doesn’t taste bad and will help you resist the germs floating around.
Wishing the best for you and yours,
Rick Stokes

Hi Alex,
Thanks for getting me to actually doing it, instead of just thinking and talking about it.
Warm regards and best wishes,
Rov.
Hey Alex,
What a whirlwind start to the year! It looks like you had a lot of fun.
Things are progressing nicely for me after the coaching. My list is now starting to grow and I can see my way forward.
Lack of time is my biggest obstacle at the moment. I am doing my best to focus on the things that produce results.
Looking forward to the extended sessions to come.
Thanks
Ken
Alex:
You scare me to death with burning the candle at
both ends, then feeding the sharks without a
cage.
You are a wonderful mentor because you try
so hard to be successful and to get us all going.
Thank you.
My request: everyone seems to have a support staff
so I was wondering what qualifications do you look
for when hiring these people? What skills? I am
burning up with ideas and no time to implement
them. Now I want staff too!
The pictures from Florida are adorable; love the
one of you and Cameron in glasses!
Puullllease start taking care of yourself.
Warmest regards,
Nancy
Hello Alex,
Here I go again. I just wrote this nice long comment and clicked submit and got an error … what a bummer. Anyway, on to the matter at hand …
I’ve read your blog post and I want your life … more than anything else in the world! I will do what-ever it takes and I will keep plugging away until I get there too.
One of my challenges is the same as Paul’s, up above there. I find it difficult to balance my online and offline activities. Just when I get on a roll, something usually happens to distract me. I have considered a cafe or Library or something like that.
Another big problem that keeps me from getting through the door is that I have so many ideas, it feels like I’m trying to get through a doorway at the same time as 5 other people … I trust you can visualize that, eh? Well, it doesn’t work! I guess I need help prioritizing, which is all part of planning, I’m brilliant, eh?
It would be great if I could get some facilitation on this one.
The next big barrier is this whole traffic getting thing … it just seems like a huge under-taking, that every time I try to get on it, I’m overwhelmed. I need a step-by-step instruction. There is a lot out there, but it is still too much. Video instruction is great!
For example; if I could be fed short achievable tasks that were broken into 30 minutes of focused time, I could do it, and for God’s sake, don’t give me any more info than that!
I work 40+ hours per week in a social services role and when I get home from work, my mind is mush. I have been dancing in the same circle for some time now. Those are my trenches …
I want to thank-you for the work you are doing. I find you easy to relate to and you have a way of making people feel equal to you. This makes it easier for me to stuff more info in my thick head, so, thanks.
Kind Regards,
Petra
Seems you have been pretty busy, anyway I took your advice you gave a while back focus on one thing or a couple. Working on my blog
http://marketingyoursuccess.com (needs work)
Anyway got away from the E-mails, did read yours
though. Thanks for the advice
Hi Alex,
You are right. Planning is KEY. I am guilty of not doing much in that department. I did lay down my plans, but its all over the place. Terrible.
I missed out on your previous coaching. But I have been following closely with you protege, Dean Holland, and a few of the F500 members. I must say that I am impressed with how much they have done and achieved.
I am imitating them, doing what they do, as they are receiving instructions from you. You can check out my blog, and comment. (i’m sure it has a LOT of room for improvements) But, I must admit, it would be nice if I could get access to your coaching program too.
What I observed from your students is that some of them are not into IM niche. So it would be helpful if you could show how to find other profitable niches that is worth doing.
And copywriting comes second naturally.
So there you go, 2 things that you can help.
Have a great day. Cheers.
Dean Henry
I’m wanting to find out how to increase traffic and improve conversions.
Hi Alex
Your coaching course has been astonishing! I’ve certainly been guided in the right direction, a full 180 degree shift to wheere I was previously travelling.
The areas I think need attention are:
1. List building… I had some small success with giveaways but am looking for more so will keep working on this.
2. Attracting or finding Affiliates… or finding and setting up JV’s with partners in similar niches.
3. Traffic Generation… there is so many websites for traffic generation and many are long processes so what is garbage and what can work?
These are things I’m working on discovering but want some other people’s input too.
Thanks
Ryan Price
I think something that would help many people is to detail some ways to start from the VERY beginning. All the information that you get thrown at you at first can be just too much. I believe that having a strong base is key to being successful.
I know it is not possible to give somebody a blueprint of exactly what to do, but a little advice about getting going in the right direction from start could be a great benefit.
I have looked (and am looking) for a mentor/coaching program for a while. It is not that I do not know much about the industry its more about just bouncing ideas off somebody else can help tons. You tend not to second guess yourself as much and not make some of the dumb a$$ mistakes a lot make either
Before I jet I do want to say I appreciate the great value you have given in your free materials. I wish I could have joined your coaching program but I ran across a little too late.
Take Care,
Adam
Hi Alex
My biggest hurdle is that old chestnut traffic/visitors!
The rest, building a list, conversions, buyers are all academic until you crack the first one!
If I can solve that one I’ll be away too!
All the best
Stan
Hi Alex,
Glad you had a great time in the USA! I should have come to Washington, D.C. to see you, since you were only about 75 miles from me here in Pa.
My Wife Jean and I were in Cardiff, Wales, in 1990, when we visited the U.K. and London for 8 Days. We really loved it and had to shed a tear when we left
Thanks for all we learned in “Marketing With Alex” course, and all your efforts for us! Thanks, too, to all the other student’s help and comments, too.
Looking forward to your new Product, Alex. Can’t wait!
Regards,
Carl

Alex,
Could use some more help in getting TRAFFIC to my web sites. Only have earned about $200 – $300 so far. More info on this subject would be helpful!
Thanks again.

Alex,
I have written this three times it keeps giving me error. so short and sweet I need help things not working write my phone works better than this does.Glade your home talk to you soon.

Alex,
Thank you very much for your interest in all of us, today and always.
My biggest problem is that I “chase bright shiny objects.”
I joined your coaching program, but never got past the second lesson. I was headed for my latest venture, a set of videos teaching press releases, when I found your email. Before that, I was part way through PPC Classroom 2.0.
Either there aren’t enough hours in the day, or I’m unable to complete a single program. Seems to be both.
Thanks much,
Chuck
Hi, Alex,
Reference my 2:18 a.m. post above: If you’re allergic to iodine, DO NOT try the SSKI alternative. IodiDe is a form of IodiNe and could cause a reaction. If you’re not allergic, have at it!

Hi Alex,
Looks like all your hard work is paying off. Congrats and enjoy!
As always, looking forward to your next product!
Hi Alex,
Very impressive what you have done this last month.
I need help in:
1.- Finding Niche markets.
2.- List building.
3.- Getting traffic to websites.
I look forward seeing you next product.
Regards
Jorge
I’d like to know exactly how to go from a PLR product or affiliate product to driving traffic to converting that traffic to a sale.
Alex,
I understand why you did not post my comment,it was for your eyes only.
Anyhow Mate, WOW you are on a adventure, Your so young and have plenty of years to go crazy, Don’t have to do it all in one years time. LOL
That must have been a huge rush feeding those sharks, I’m brave but not sure that brave. As far as Orlando – Disney World – I have taken my
children Brandon 10 and Allision 14 several time’s when they were very little and we are looking to visit one more time.
I would like though to try the sky diving tunnel, that looks like a lot of fun. Well like I said you packed a few months into most peoples yearly adventures. Can’t wait to see what you have instore for the exstended mentor program.
Well Mate – Talk to you soon – Vince
PS: Check you email support@
I enjoyed your travel pics and look forward to viewing your info.
Hi Alex,
I have an unusual situation. I sell used paperbacks on eBay, but would like to do internet marketing. However, my wife thinks that internet marketing is a big scam. How can I convince her that it’s not? Anybody have any ideas?
I love your work and my wife does follow your goal setting system. She’s trying to combine it with David Allen’s system.
I hope you make your million.
Regards,
LemBook
Alex:
Thank you for the education and coaching! I am still very interested in a F500 forum! Is this still in the works? I know it is time consuming but I feel it would be a great bonus and help to many of us who are still working away at getting things right. Look forward to meeting up with you in Las Vegas!
Sincerely,
Dr. Lenny Sugerman
Hi Alex,
I think you’re busted! You vacation like you work…very intense. It’s called a v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n. Or is it work with a detour? Looking forward to following more of your instruction…take care,
Peter Soos
Hi there Alex,
The one thing for which you can hold your head up high is that you over deliver. And that endears you to people as you develop their trust.
The free products you’ve provided have always been top quality and your flowchart representations up with the very best I have seen from any online guru. Yep .. you may not agree but I count you a guru!
My problem seems to have been me running down too many rabbit holes, getting myself distracted and having a few unforeseen circumstances put paid to some of the projects I’ve been about to launch. But .. no excuses.
While I know that anything you provide will be first class .. perhaps you could share with us some of those marketing tactics you’ve employed which at the end of the day turned out to be real fizzlers and explain why they turned out that way.
Many thanks again for this free report ..
Warm regards
Dale
I have been following & watching for a while. My biggest fear of all is my fear. I start & then doubt – fear settles in & I loose momentum. I would love you to give me the confidence to succeed. Sometimes I feel it is hard for us old dogs to learn new tricks. Thank you for all the info that I have taken onboard.
Cheers

Hi Alex,
Holy sharks… that is amazing pic
Take Care,

http://www.affiliate.tc
The two biggest challenges are
1. Time management and Prioritization
It’s easy to get distracted my new offers and what appears to be important [but may not really be a priority].
2. How to use the social networking tools and sites to help increase organic traffic to the site.
I’m looking forward to the new release and appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Brett
Hi Alex,
Wow! What a life you are living. I am really jealous. Wish I were in the pictures with the rest of the gang.
Anyway, I want to take this opportunity to thank you so much for wisdom and sharing. Your coaching program has transform me from a newbie with no knowledge about building online business to a newbie with a dream of really making lots of money to provide a secure life in terms of finacially and time for my wife and my two kids.
In fact, I have a blog on my own, PPP and a small list at the moment. I mean 7 weeks ago, I can’t imagine this can happen to me? But now, different story.
Alex, I want to be in your company and your team for the rest of my life.
Looking forward to your new product. Can’t wait for it.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey

Hi Alex.
You have been in touch with ne for some time now and I really appreciate all that you have done.
It was great to see you flying around the world with your lovely family. Something I was fortunate to have done also.
I am retiring to Cyprus shortly and will be concentrating on my OPPS business, selling Other Peoples Products. I am known as the opps salesman here in the uk. And all I do is turn other peoples PLR stuff into my own product.
However, as you rightly say time and again. Planning is paramount. Without a working plan of action and good organization,you are going nowhere.
Good luck with your new project. I wish you every success.

Thanks again!
Hi Alex,
The main thing that I am stuck with is starting out.I have all the possible e books,but no definite guideline of how to use them.You can call it information overload.
The main thing that gets me mad online is the fact that there are so many so called gurus who just want to extract money from the newbies,now I dont say that their information may not be good…but to know if its good or not we just have to pay.
Mentoring by someone who has everyone’s interest at heart would be good.
Thanks,
Pinky
Hey Alex,
Glad to see your feet are on the ground again. Man I don’t doubt your success but from what I hear I wouldn’t want your liver or kidneys in a year or so
Alex, this is a serious question, I am interested in how you used J.V.s to leverage your success.
Is it really necessary to party all-night to enable J.V. partnerships to occur?
I mean could I create successful J.Vs. just from my desk in this idyllic dream home where I live?
Really when I look at the pictures of many I.M.s I think they don’t look too healthy. I took a look in the mirror this morning and you know what? I don’t look that great either!
Can you help us to find a balance in our business/personal lifestyle?
More on that would interest me.
Stephen
Hey Alex,
I’ve been on your mailing list for quite some time, and have read most of them (I’m being honest) and just about everyone of them has helped me get creative and derive & devise ideas to take the business forward. So, needless to say, I’ll be following this blog and will be waiting for the free report (I just loooove being Honest). I hope I become successful (up to my expectations soon enough) and maybe we can share coffee together some day.

Hi Alex,
Great to see you taking the time out to enjoy life Help needed – Getting started.. I am one of those people who find it difficult to get past the information overload stage..I am in the middle of getting an extention built to the house and am finding it difficult to put together more tha an hour or so of time each day – this will ease off in about six weeks. I need to learn how to priorotise and plan my time.
All the best
Dave
Hi Alex,
Oh dear, have to try and remember what I typed – having the same problem as a few people above wiht getting a blank page after submitting my comment:(
Thanks for a great course – I learned a lot but still have a lot to put into practice. Like many others, time is a huge factor and this is a steep learning curve.
1. Would like to have more concise live training calls – they only started for me here in South Africa at 1am and often went on till the sparrows started chirping – made being a mom later the same day quite a challenge.
2. Please put recordings up as soon as possible after the live call – this will keep the momentum going while it is still fresh and exciting. I found that life got in the way while I was waiting to access the training and, as a result, I fell behind and have still not caught up.
3. I would love to know more about blogging – thumbs up to Gary Simpson and Garry Parkes who have both really mastered this art.
4. I would also like to know how to handle a customer who has purchased a product. Should he be moved to an existing customers list? How does one go about this?
Thanks, Bev

Hi Alex,
I loved your coaching program, and have learned a lot from you. I am glad to see you taking time to relax after being so so busy lately.
I got really frustrated during the course, and took a long break. Now I am back ready to do things right this time. The biggest mistake I made was not planning correctly. Now I am learning from that mistake, and am ready to be more organized.
You asked how you can help me. Well, the thing I am most confused about is how and what to outsource. I don’t have any people around me who can help me, so I have to seek people online to help me with tasks that take up a lot of time to complete.
Thanks for everything. Take care of yourself and your family.
I started making nice money, but I must keep momentum, how to do that?
Alex, great blog….I’m just getting started on this Online Marketing, Adwords, Adsense, and Clickblank business, but I’m looking forward to your training and mentoring.
Thanks Alex
I just need help to keep focused on one thing at a time
Cheers
Hi Alex,
After the coaching course success I can’t wait to see what direction you are headed in next
One suggestion for you – before you start the next coaching session it could be good to seek out the recommendations of the students, get some feedback.
Keep going!
Dave
i m new here,,, i know nothing about these kind of business… can u help?
Hi Alex
I’m stuck in the rut of revising my ideas every time i read a new report or idea from online sources. I need a way to lock down on just one idea and follow it thru to completion. Any suggestions welcome and appreciated.
Hi Alex,
I have been a newbie for nearly a year… though I spend all my time on the Internet. I read and read. Everything is of great interest for me. I am ashamed to write that the more I read, the less I understand. Maybe your plan will help me overcome my problems.
Looking forward to your new Product, Alex. Can’t wait!
Regards,
Tatyana
Hi Alex
Wow. You and Katie must have had an awesome time.
I’d like to know more and driving targeted traffic to a site.
Obviously the most effective method would be best, apart from ppc.
Take Care
Naima
Hi,
My trouble is I just can’t get anything up and
running. I keep buying things but none of them
work for me because I always come up against
something I cannot do as my computer skills are
very minor. I need something for complete newbies
that preferably comes with a 7 year old who will
show me what to do. I feel like giving up but I am
always hoping that one day the penny will drop
and I will finally see the light. Best wishes
Barbara.
Didn’t realise we still had coal mining in the UK, if that is where you are going underground< Or is it caving or pot-holing?
Hey Alex
Some great phots there. I just want to echo other students in thanking you for the course and the hard work you put into it.
I guess the main issue I’m still having is converting subscribers to buyers. My list is growing although could always do with more
I don’t know whether its down to the product or the emails I send out that stops them from buying. So possibly something instructional on how to make an email stand out from all the rest of the garbage would be great.
Hope to meet up with you one day
Best wishes
Doug
Hi Alex,
All of the IM gurus barrage my e-mail inbox with their various solicitations and in the past year an escallation of “free gifts.”
It is so very easy to let all of that dissipate my focus.
I am interested in occupying a presence outside of the IM “get rich” space.
I do think alot can be learned from IM gurus, but each expert has a certain angle and so it is hard to know which angle will work best for me. Most gurus seem more interested in lining their own pockets. A lot of it ingenuine.
I think it would be wisest for me to stay within a given field of expertise (to not bounce around, but still could include all of the various facets as I expand in a chosen niche area).
So the hardest part is choosing a winning niche (outside IM)that I can verify as both something I will enjoy writing about for a long time to come and can be determined as a “winner” – that will surely make money.
Choosing the right niche is a big hang-up for me due to the aforementioned.
I first plan to learn the ropes of Affiliate Marketing and then move on to my own products within a chosen niche.
So I wish to know definitively how to choose a great “winning” niche (with case study examples).
I wish to know the lowest cost ways to set-up and grow my business. Best tools of the trade.
I wish to know the insider tricks to gaining a snowball of exposure via site linkage, article marketing, blogs, forums, squidoo, twitter, social media, etc…including how to grow my presence as a top expert within the chosen niche.
Cheers!
Jim
Wow Alex,
- I get my name and picture on your post; FAME at last, LOL.
It was great meeting up with you and Katie at the weekend plus a few of the fellow successful coaching students. We had a blast and looking forward to doing it again at some point
Your coaching program has been awesome and you have a real knack for over-delivering quality information to people so that they can take it, implement it and start to build a successful online business. You gave 110% to students during the Coaching Course and the results show all around.
You deserve to disappear a bit and “go underground” to have a bit of time to yourself for planning and also some quality time with your family and friends.
Enjoy!
Ultimately we will all benefit when you return.
Garry Parkes
Hi Alex
I live here in Orlando, wish I knew you were here I could have said hey in person.
I have tried so many different ways to make money online.
I have already bought so many different things but no luck so far. I have blogs, web site, squidoo lens, safe mail, classified ads, etc.
And I have not had one sale or commission.
My wife even said she can’t believe I haven’t made it yet.
At first I had this attitude that I had no doubt I would be quitting my JOB, but now I’m starting to get worried because I have nothing to show for my efforts and money I have spent.
I think I need more help then you can or am willing to give.
I think my biggest problem now is I have about run out of money to spend on making this work.
We love to travel, mostly cruise, we had our best vacation of our lives on a cruise.
I would love to make enough money to someday take a world cruise.
I have loved everything I have gotten from you so far.
I look forward to anything you come out with (free of course).
I have been getting more and more discouraged lately, trying to keep up with the good thoughts.
“Many of life’s failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up” Thomas Edison
Thanks Gary
Hi Alex!
I’m brand new to this and need major help!
I need to know the nutz n`boltz…Detailed STEP BY STEP process for promoting internet marketing products as an affiliate…on a VERY meagre budget:(-$100 to start)
Thx in advance!
Mike

Hey Alex!
Well I’m not one of those people who know you and can leave a long, funny or insightful comment but just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the blog post – very creative. Glad you’re a Brit, glad you’re a honest marketer and glad you’re doing great for yourself!
Continued success!
Dee
Hey Alex,
Congrats on all your achievements….it’s inspirational to see that it can be done!!!
I’m still doing your coaching course….I’m determined to finish it.
I think the biggest challenges that I face are as follows:
- staying focussed
- persevering thru to completion
- not jumping onto every new thing that pops up
- planning
One of the issues that I have is that most courses/webinars are scheduled to accommodate USA timeframes. In South Africa, we are 8-10 hours ahead so most events take place in the early hours of the morning. Difficult because for 2 days afterwards I’m shot – doesn’t help the productivity or the work situation either.
It just means that most times I have to listen to recordings which is not the same as participating live….
The things that I need help with:
- listbuilding
- driving traffic
- a schematic of how all the technical stuff and the processes hang together and what is dependent on what…if you get my drift ( a picture paints a thousand words)
Thats it for now….
Are you planning on visiting South Africa?
Regards
Greg
Hi Alex, Not been in touch for long time, been mega busy trying to promote my site etc. Definitely need help with it, ha ha.
It’s great that your giving away your product and I hope it’s a massive success like previous offers.
Take care to you and yours.
Danny.
Hi Alex,
Glad to hear you’ve slowed down a bit. Remember
you’re getting married this year and want to be around to actually make it.
Thanks for your coaching. My problem, like everyone else’s is one of time – or rather lack of it and the ability to focus only on what is necessary to move forward.
It would be nice if you could pinpoint how to outsource work i.e. the type of advert you would place for specific jobs in places like Elance and Rent-A-Coder, or maybe,you could set up a community outsource section amongst the students. There are already those who are extremely accomplished in many of the skills required and who might like to make a bit of money. Maybe it’s something to consider as well as the Forum?
Take care and best wishes
Jean
Hi,
I think my two biggest hurdles are getting traffic to my site and then building a list. Getting to earn my first $ would be wonderful.
Glad to see you had a great vacation
Best Wishes
Christine
Hey Alex
First, and once again I want to thank you for the coaching and mentoring you gave me, I’m sure, looking around the F500 everybody has come along way and will continue to go forward as this is just the start of our journey. It’s strange getting to bed before 4.30am now!! If you can help me get more traffic this would be a great help. Take care mate and good luck.
Cheers
Al
Hi Alex
Great diary here, whose jealous!
Guess if we copy you again we can’t go far wrong.
Just wish there were more hours in the day, so any future modules to split into shorter sessions,
‘How to videos’, are a great help for all us non techs
Best wishes
Colin
Alex
Important lesson #1
Involve your potential customers. Nice one.
More seriously,my #1 question would be: how to decide on what it is you truly want out of a business.
Jim
Hey Alex,
you’ve got the perfect mix, what looks like a great holiday and networking with some top IM guys. They say don’t mix business with pleasure, but looks like you cracked that old chestnut.
Can’t wait for you to find a few moments to check out Our Internet School. Remember all members get paid for referrals.
Charlie
P.S.
Hope you were wearing a daffodil on your way to Bond Street, Iechyd da!

Hi Alex:
Understanding how to get a response from an email
address and building a buying list, seems to completely evade me. Or I’ve spent a fortune on all the wrong answers and need a da*n good mentor
and far better direction. I’d be more than willing to return in same/some way all that I can learn, to another or others. My skills are in graphic design, sign writing, ideas, video/film making, short story writing and verbal communication.
Hi Alex,
You are just a “smashing” teacher and person.
I have not yet finished your course because of had a couple of difficult personal problems.
What I did up till now I loved and am sorry I had to stop and now I have to get going again.
I have one problem and that is I feel very alone because of where I live, I could no get to join in the live training or ask questions. I am very new and really needed a lot of help from the group but each time I asked no one answered.
It may be because they did not have the answers or know how to help me.
I think you are a great person who when out of your way to help all of us and I will continue to struggle through all your training videos and I will succeed!!!!!
Thank you very much
Flor Tavor
I have followed many of the guru’s that you meet
recently on your adventures and I will have to say
that they are an elite few, but very good in there own rights.
It’s good to see that there are really people making money online. But I myself because of my niche, which is to help others, is a very challenging one to say the least
I have other website properties but they too do very little in the way of sales and or traffic.
But I think my main problem is staying focused on
anyone project. Though I do write down my plans
and I do the best I can to follow through with those plans it seems that everything just fizzles out.
Oh well, enough of my rambling I guess you could say that I need something or someone to keep me focused.
Timothy Caron
Hi, Alex
Great to see that you’ve had a great time these past weeks with all the travel, fun, family and hooking up with some other marketers.
Can’t wait to see what your pent up creativity is going to pop up with here soon.
As for myself, first I have gotten a lot from your coaching. It has helped me build a lot of fire for what I’m doing.
What I’m most frustrated with lately, well actually for a while now are 2 things.
One, how much time it takes to do any one simple thing. It seems like I run into problems with every step. something has to be figured out, the insrtuctions are not clear or don’t exist, thigs don’t work as outlined, and – bla bla bla, just time is getting gobbled up here!
Second, I’ve been having an extraordinary amount of problems with my pcs, something is breaking which causes lots of time to get through . . again time.
As I am typing this post i am having to wait for the pc to catch up with my typing. i try to work on fixing it in between keeping myself going on another pc, but this on has the email.
Anyway, I still pound away about 10 to 12 hours a day, not in the money much yet, but list is growing a bit, about 200 now, and most are staying on and receiving my emails.
One of my other bugaboos is planning and organization!! Too many wants, not enough time.
I have been narrowing it down now to doing specific traffic building tasks, but with all the above described slow downs it ends up taking a week to write a couple articles, make 2 or 3 versions and get them posted to article sites – man I wish the article sites would have one standard way for submissions!
I think, as someone above here mentioned, a helpful thing would be to create some basic to do lists that have been proven to garner results.
Step by step, when to do what, how much of this or that.
Well, I’m continuing to fine tune it all, and I’m looking forward to what you are coming up with.
Keep it up man you’re doing good,
John
Wow…I,ve been babbling with internet marketing & Ebay etc for about a year now but really getting anywhere…I’ve listened to Alex’s Viral market interviews & tried a few of his tips with minimum success on my behalf nothing to with the info…So Im really looking for something that’ll break the mould & start do something worthwhile…Looking forward to getting things done finally…Thanks
My comment is that any help in the area of cutting through all the bs that’s out there and helping with more basic steps to actually take real action that creates some cash flow would be very much appreciated and very helpful.
Thanks!
Tina P
Hi Alex,
Keep up the inspiring stories, always great for IMers to feel like they are not the only ones slogging away at home by themselves.

Hi Alex
I have a domain name and website hosting set up (have done for the last year but do not even have a website set up yet) and have been avidly downloaded products, how to’s etc but really don’t know where to begin. Could you tell me is it the list first, the product first etc? I want to plan it out properly but I don’t want to start planning it incorrectly and then be doomed to failure, I would much rather have a sequence to follow initially and then deviate as and when required.
Thanks for the opportunity to ask you these important questions.
Regards
Lee

You are, so obviously, enjoying life and all it has to offer.
My warm regards and congrats go to you for getting it right so early in life – well done!
Frank
Hey Alex,
I learned a lot during your MWA course.
What got really stucked in my head was the remark:
“Don’t chase the money/people, let it/them chase you!”
Brilliant!
Another thing I got out of it was the bigger picture behind it.
Really help a bunch of people and in return your name gets really branded as people start to talk and blog about you!
Maybe you can tell us a bit more about that in your next product.
Regards Marcel
looks like you had a fantastic time over there!
My main areas of concern are closing down visitors to my site, and building a good quality email list.
I am finding these two things very difficult, and I would welcome your expertise greatly. You will be listened to, best wishes from John
Hi Alex,
I’ve done all the stupid things that newbies do – spend lots of cash buying a load of stuff, storing it on my hard disk or putting it on the shelf and then ignoring it all.
So, I am finally getting my head around working better, smarter and actually doing something.
Today is the starting point and I can’t wait to get more of your products. I think it’s great that you offer decent products for free, especially as I am dead broke at the moment.
Because of my past errors, I decided to setup a site related to Time Management and use it to help myself and others. Here’s hoping I get it right this time.
Keep up the good work and I can’t wait for the product – I know it will be a cracker.
Regards,
Ian
Hi Alex
I guess my main problem is getting traffic/visitors to my blog. As Petra said, a set of step-by-step video instructions on this would be very helpful.
I would also like to know how I can improve the look of my blog to make it more appealing (when I do get visitors) and which plug-ins would be most useful.
It would be great if you could also be there for us further down the line to provide help and advice as we diversify into different niche areas as well.
Thanks for all your help to date.
Wendy Wood
Hey Alex,
Man, you have put in some work over last few months.
i am exhausted just trying to keep up with you lol
Planning and TAKING ACTION is the key ….
Looking forward to seeing the next report …
Don’t be a stranger man !
Cheers
Tommy
Hi Alex,
So now, I look forward to reading your report, and hoping that somehow it’ll help me gain MORE perspective!! Thanks for all your help, info, and advice 
My biggest prob. I think is info. overload. Gathering info for the last 4 yrs and keeping up with the ”latest best” is a full time effort (getting like 150 or more emails a day). I’m scared to start, bummed that I don’t, and wish I had a friend/partner that would dive in ”with” me because I have tons of ideas, and have my own products too. I wish I could find someone to do the ‘net’ stuff so I can do the ‘creative’ stuff!! You’d think that 4yrs of learning and gathering would give me the courage to get my ass going wouldn’t you!!!!!
Sincerely,
Kris

Hi Jeffrey,
Looking forward to your new product and hope to get some coaching from you when I get some cash. Not made any yet.

Hi Alex
It was great to see you traveling to those places which I too would love to visit. Particularly Florida and Disney World which I last visited in 1980 with wife and young daughter.
Now with Children of her own I want to earn enough money to treat them to a holiday in Florida and for my wife and me to visit the Bahamas too.
I suppose my biggest problem is the technical side of adding banners etc to a website/blog to promote an affiliate program and also how to promote ebooks for people to download whether a freebie or a purchase.
I am currently following your videos re Planning and think they are the best yet in getting myself and many others ‘cracking’to move on from distractions and time wasting towards a lifestyle similar to your own.
Thanks so much Alex
Regards
John Davies
Wow, you have been so busy Alex, looks like you had a wonderful holiday.
I am starting on the journey and agree with Adam that the first things are the hardest, all the newsletters and marketing blogs make it all seem so easy, but making that first step is the hardest – it’s scary!! Plans and lists are easy, putting them into action is a whole different ball game.
Keep up the good work and maybe I’ll get on one of your courses one day!
Annie
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your hard work. You asked what did I need help most and my answer is Traffic, Traffic, Traffic!
By the way, soon after your last module, I gave a conclusion after the coaching in my Blog. I honestly stated my own guestimate of the results in cash term of the group and stated my own cash return from it as mediocre (hope I spell that correctly!). Like to know what else I said? Link is below!

Hi
Thanks so much for the info. It’s great to read one of these thats by a real human being (who makes excuses, just like the rest of us ha ha!) The info is really useful and I can’t wait to read what’s next.
K.I.S.S.
After so many seminars, “Keep It Simple & Short”
has been my catchwords.
Your message certainly is enviable, and you do show
how to enjoy life.
I have to wonder in the current financial situation
how it is possible to generate regular income and
ultimately wealth.
Well done you! I gotta get SERIOUS about this money-makin’ stuff…
You’ve certainly woken me up!
Cheers Alex
Hey Alex, my problem is getting traffic to my blogs.
Have a nice day,
Urpo
Hi Alex,
You better believe that we “Newbies” are thrilled to get your advice, so keep up the Great Work.
My biggest problem Online is getting GOOD Traffic, I can get Traffic, but for I get, it doesn’t convert.

Hello Alex,
I just found you today. downloaded your Internet Marketing Implementation pdf and watched the companion video, very good. Thank you!
I have been doing this internet marketing since 88 before the internet, using BBS’s got shut down because limited time on phone lines. Anyway long story. Got back into it in 2003 and still have not made a dime. Seem as though I am the stupidest guy on the face of the planet.
I think my biggest problems are staying focused and organized. To many things on my plate and not enough money to outsource anything or do any adsence advertising. Just about lost my house and truck this past January, just catching up on that trip.
Opps! To much information for a open to public blog. Anyway you said you would like to help and to leave a comment, so here it is. Maybe one day we can talk person to person.
Thanks again,
John
Hello Alex
Enjoy your time underground! I think list-building would be good to cover. Also I work best with the written word so if you could get the nuggets of our coaching course in writing that would be fantastic (and I am sure it would sell well). I look forward to buying you that pint when you emerge
Best wishes

Alex,
Great post. I hope some day to meet those gurus myself, but I haven’t gotten to that point yet.
I have followed your mentorship closly. I have my blog and post to daily (almost daily), I post to twitter, facebook. I write articles and have them posted. I took those articles and created an e-book but still I have made zero $0 dollars hardly have anyone on my list and am feeling very frustrated.
I have a pretty extreme income plan for 2009 but so far in 2 months not a dime.
I need to know where I am going wrong. I am missing something but can’t put my finger on it.
I loved your coaching and look forward to the LV get together I am hoping it won’t be too expensive.
Well I guess I have gone on long enough.
Thanks again.
Alan Kiel
Hi Alex
I have learned a great deal from the course and been applying this to my websites with real results, naturaly i still need to do more and keep working, but i feel i am on track to build in future.
I look forward to your next product !
cheers
Alan
Hi Alex,
Just wanted to thank you for everything that you make for people.
(Things are progressing nicely for me after the coaching course that i gived here in Jerusalem)
All the best
Rafael
Hi Alex,
Great to see what you have been up to.
Over the last 8 months I have been full time every day working on internet marketing. My aim is to crack the puzzle of how to be successful and enjoy the life you and others are now seeing. I have come along way in this time and I know that I will never be going back into a paid job, my mind set has changed completely. I have invested lots of time and money to learn everything I can. I try to do something new every day and little by little the barriers starting to fall down. Thats been my plan so far and its been fun and addictive.
I am at the point now where I need to focus my efforts,
My plan for the next 6 weeks,
1/. review some of the better courses I have tried on the blog to get more traffic to the PPP.
Get more relevant links back to the blog.
2/. I have set up several other blogs in niche areas promoting affiliate products… keep growing.
3/. I need to get people to know me better and after listening your interview with Maria Andros I went over to check out Traffic Guyser. This has enormous potential so I am going to get a cheap video camera and step out into this new world. Definitely out of my comfort zone.
4/. Have cracked the aweber site and now need to get thinking what I can offer to the lists to build a relationship. Follow in the foot steps of Michael Cheney perhaps.
Things I plan to learn
How to set up and record a powerpoint presentation with screen shots and live screen actions so I can start to do some info videos.
Thanks Alex for all the help over the cold winter months, your F500 course is the best because my business is at last going in the right direction. Keep in touch.
Kind regards,
Allan Wilson

Hey Alex,
Had a great time at the weekend with you, Katie and the others. Just about recovered (i think). That was just one night, how you do 4 days of that in row is beyond me. You need to add that into your coaching, lol.
Thanks again for the coaching and all the great advice and tips this weekend. Your next group of coaching students don’t know how lucky they are yet.
Speak soon bro!
Mark
Hey Alex,
Glad to see you had a great time. Shame I could’nt join you & the other students in London (I was born there – proper cockney, I am!) but I live in paradise now (Byron Bay, Australia). Going to the World Internet Summit in Brisbane next week. Network & learn!
So where am I & what do I still need to know after your fantastic coaching course?
Well… because I couldn’t attend modules 1-4 live (I had a day job back then) and I still haven’t been able to see the online videos due to the limitations of broadband facilities in rural Australia, I’d like to get them on CD… OR see them each divided into 2 sections, so that they download completely instead of cutting out two thirds of the way through.
I also had the same problem with the first instructional videos for set-up. The videos are just a tad too long for our Aussie rural broadband services. So I missed some juicy stuff and feel a little bewildered. I’d really like to review all the videos but just can’t. (Now I don’t even have broadband, whilst I await a change in providers – could be 21 days!)
I’m at a crossroad. I have really enjoyed the learning curve this year, but I now want to move into niches that I can personally relate to. I feel like such a small fish in a vast ocean of internet marketers. I hate the hype and the saturation of the IM niche. But naturally, I need to keep one foot in this niche, to keep up to date with how it ticks.
The IM niche is the hub of the whole darn massive “thing” and everyone needs to earn their stripes in the Army of Marketing, with the right strategies and ammunition, before venturing to new territories.
I also need some technical savvy to give me some independence. It really is essential that one understands some of the simple things like blogging, using autoresponders & FTP and creating capture/squeeze/thankyou pages. I can’t get my head around that yet. Outsourcing is not the way I want to go. I want to learn to do it myself, so that I’m not held back in the future. So I would like some structured basic technical training.
There are indeed many videos available all over the net for free plus forums etc., but a logical and structured course (for newbies) with a real person at the helm (someone who could answer questions live) would be fantastic. This would put everything into perspective and in the right order.
There is a desperate need for such a coaching course. I’m sure that so many newbies give up because they just don’t get it. There are far too many gurus out there who assume that people can grasp all the technical details easily.
I’m feeling a bit stuck right now and really want to move forward.
All the best!
Gail (& Cookie the cockatiel!)
I have enjoyed following you and learning from you. Your success makes it clear that your teachings are effective and to be reckoned with.
My own website is in development at this time
Good luck.

Hi Alex.
I’m a total beginner with internet marketing and I’m starting off with a couple of PPC campaigns, got them going about 4 days ago. No luck so far, no sales, CTR of 0.13%. Maybe I need to learn more about writing a good ad copy. Thanks for all your great emails, I am unemployed and on benefits so I can only buy products once in a blue moon but out of all the lists I’ve subscribed to, it’s the emails from you that always read and look forward to.
Thanks again mate.
Jamie
Hi Alex
Just wanted to say thank you for your course and how glad I am that I came across it at just the right time for me.
There was so much in the course that I need to go back through it agin and agian to pick up on the things I missed out first time around.
I am constantly amazed at how much I haved leaned in such a short time – and that, along with the support of the other F500 students has been the real bonus of this course.
We have all come to it with differing expectations and experience. It can be difficult to fit everything in with working and running a home and family, but I know that the support is there from you and from others in the F500.
Like others I think that the information could be cut down into smaller chunks for those who come to this with no experience. Fast-paced is ok for those who have already started their journies, but I had information overload at some points. I’m still working my way through at my own pace.
So now I’m looking at my own niche and as I mentioned to you on the last call, I’m looking at what we are teaching our young people about finances, being an entrepreneur and Internet Marketing.
I’d really love it if anyone who knew of useful resources, websites, information etc could let me know as I’m currently trying to gather together that sort of information. Please leave me a comment on my blog – I’d be really grateful. Thanks.
So the other suggestions from various people – affiliates, giveaways etc, would all be useful to be able to work on at our own speed.
Thanks
Hilary
Hi Alex,
Thanks for all the great stuff you’ve given us all this while!
You truly are a great internet marketer.
I look forward to the release of all your great new products.
p.s. – do let me know your secret of how you got successful so very fast.
You sure are a busy man, Alex. Enjoy your time underground, but make sure it’s not at the expense of time alone with your “beautiful fiancée Katie.”
Simon
I’ve really enjoyed your blog and the past articles. I want to know more about the planning issues. I have a hard time staying focused with a great husband, two teenagers who are involved in everything at school and three businesses. I need time management help. Thanks again for your posts.
Hey Alex, you’re doing what you said you’d do, FANTASTIC!
It’s been a year or so and I have been through some soul searching, deciding what I want to do and why… as well as put together income generating sites, I really want to get out there and help local, mainstream businesses market and connect with their clients…what’s an effective way to get started
Cheers
Hi Alex,
Thanks for giving people like me an opportunity to work with you. I a newbie and would like your guidance on selecting which products or offers to promote for maximum profits. At this moment I am a bit confused about product/niche selection.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Thanks again.
Mani Gurung
As one of the movers and shakers in the Internet marketing community, when Alex talks, people listen. Building any business without first creating a plan is like building a building without first creating a blueprint. Success is possible but not very likely. Good luck on your new venture Alex, although luck won’t have much to do with it.
Hi Alex,
You must be worn out with all your jetsetting! Photo evidence is so important in emphasising the lifestyle to be had by a successful internet marketer. I am so envious of how much you have achieved in such a short timescale and the pics are there to prove it.
Although (probably) my biggest problem in the past has been focus, the new addition to our lives has put extreme pressure on the time I have available at the end of the day before we put the little man to bed!
So, I think I would be interested in understanding how to achieve more in a shorter space of time. Is it possible to achieve great results on only an hour or so a day?
As Adam states above, we all really appreciate the great info you provide for nothing. Cheers,
Jon
Hello Alex,
Thanks for asking your question.
The main thing that is stopping me right now, is Google Adwords. In the most part for 2 reasons, let me explain.
- My ads keep getting blocked using affiliate links, because of wrong Display URLs even though I’ve tried everything to get them approved (except iFraming).
- If my ads do get approved I do often get a lot of impressions (so that’s not the point), BUT almost nobody clicks the ads. Even though I do follow the instructions given by the course. (Arbitrage Conspiracy).
That’s what’s bugging me the most at the moment.
If you can help me solve these problems and probably a lot more problems with Google Adwords I could encounter along the way. I’ll be the first to take you up on the offer you present.
All the best,
Rens Baggermans
Hi Alex,
Glad to see some amazing success stories.
I know you will make it happen. You are in the zone and looks like you are making it happen my friend.
I am putting together a contibuity product and willing to contribute my best for your upcoming product.
Can you let me know how can offer my best ?
Looking forward to hear back from you.
Thanks & Regards,
-Gaj
Hi Alex,
I just recently started receiving your emails. I have been “researching” making money online for some time now, but the more I read and the more offers I receive the more confusing it becomes.
What I need is something that explains in step by step format how to start an online business, including how to find a profitable niche and turning it into a money maker. No hype, no disjointed steps (it seems everything I read offers bits and pieces, but not the whole picture). You buy one item only to find you need to buy another and then another in order to get the whole picture. It’s a bit like putting a puzzle together.
I’ve already spent several $$$, but still at a loss as how to really get the ball rolling. Is it possible to start an online business without spending thousands of dollars for a program to get you started?
Anxiously looking for help!
Bruce
Alex…
You have definitely come a long way since I first met you in San Francisco in September of 2007.
Keep up the great work!
Mike Hill
Hi Alex,
I just started my first blog, so anything you put out on blogging will be appreciated. I’m also interested in methods of driving traffic to it. To begin with I’ll be focusing on article marketing.
Thanks for your offer and all the good info you give us!
Bill Grosh
Hey Alex,
I just got back from Orlando too. It looks like you had much more fun than I did though. It was strictly R&R for me. I’m looking forward to seeing your new product.
Rock On,
Brian
Hi Alex, its a wonder you achieve so much, youre never at home!
First of all, thanks for the coaching, enjoyed it all but got thrown off track and have yet to recover when I had the burst pipes at home in January. Lost the plot a bit and still have not found the time to re visit from about module 5 and build the traffic again.
My main struggle is still traffic driving to be honest. Keeping active but going backwards best describes my results at present. But hey, have made a couple of affiliate sales in the last week or so so not all doom and gloom.
I need some time and space to get things back in to order. The plans are all on paper yes, but not yet actioned. You chaps make it look so easy but my list is truly building one at a time but hey, not too despondent, not giving up. Give up and you will never get anywhere for sure!
You have my interest again young man! wonder what the new offering is?……..gimme gimme!!

Alex,
Thanks for the quote: There are only two sides to business, results and excuses. That is absolutely true and I’ve spent my fair share of time making excuses. But I’m working hard now on Results. Thanks again.
Leslie
Dear Alex,
I just got your Listbuilding report. I’ve been “preparing” for two years, doing the expensive learning curve of grappling with the tech stuff. Now I want to make money!
How do I switch from “preparing” to “doing”?
Looking forward to your new product.
Brennan
Ah, you won’t make $1m in 12 months,
more like 9 months I reckon
All the best, jonathan
Hi Alex,
Just started getting into you. Still need to set my butt down and just do it! Always getting into info overload and buying, buying, buying. No time to read the stuff though. Need a plan. Have a great year!
Take Care,
Lorraine
It is hard to see what works and will not work on the Internet. Everyone claims that theirs is the best. After reading your publications I have come to realize that you know what you are talking about.
Keep up the good work.
John
Hi Alex,
I have been online for 4 years now and still don’t make any money from the internet business. Talking of business of course it need a capital to started it and that’s is one of the major problem for me. I’m a flat broke right now with about 50 000 dollars! So right now to started an internet business is impossible…But I still want to know what is your new product is about.
Regards,
Ali
Hi, Alex!
It’s very kind of you giving away your marvelous products for free.
Hi Alex,
It is indeed a rare privilege to come across an entrepreneur who inspires and shares freely with so many.
Congratulations and Thanks!
Hi Alex,
Thanks again for your course. Enjoy your well earned rest. What do I need? I think it would be easier to state what I do not need.
I still have no list or traffic so I need help in those areas, But I also need to start making some money very quickly.
I am very willing to put in the hours to build my business, but I have to do it without being able to invest any more money. That I know is a tall order but I will have to find a way.
I look forward to your next product.
Kind Regards,
Rodney
Alex,
Your coaching program has been a wealth of helpful information. I think the planning has been the tricky part for me. I’d like to also learn how to pick my own niche outside of IM.
No matter what your next product is, I know it will be good. Looking forward to it!
Thanks,
Nikolett
Alex,
You tire me out just listening to all of your escapades. Your energy is invigorating. I have to say as one of your students when I signed up as a newbie I thought I was going to get the very basic material, the how-tos, step by step of setting up a website, both static and dynamic; how to set up a blog site, how to get those free things that I am supposed to give away, into my site and how others get it back out of my site.
How to get a video and put it on my website once I had one. I just thought it would be more detailed because without knowing how to do those things step by step,so I could put them into place, the coaching seemed to just leave me in the dust. It has been difficult picking through all the different info from this person and that person to learn the detailed steps of the whole internet marketing process.Would be nice if someone had a step by step video that took one by the hand that say had even very little computer experience and just walked them through the whole process. Perhaps that was too much to expect going into this and I didn’t fully understand what your coaching program would consist of.Thanx for what I did get.Lana
Alex – you have some serious James Bond action going on there..whatta a ride and what a ride the coaching has been too, it totally helped me focus and get my product out there..
I guess from my point of view help is always good in the area of JV’s – building that network of partners so crucial to success
hope to hook up with you again soon
Jerry
Hey Alex,
Could use a bit of help (actually a lot) on building a list and building traffic.
I have been studying internet marketing for a while, but I need to get into action.
Look forward to getting your next product, maybe that will get me into action!
Thanks!
Jim
Looks like you’ve been having a good time!!!
Way to go!
Love the Family shots…Hello to Katie and Cameron.

Hi Alex
I wish I had your energy but then I guess I did at your age-too old now!
Still determined,know how to do it but never get
it done.Do you supply blinkers!
Thanks for caring
Regards
Brian
I’m glad things are going well and hope you enjoyed your trip. I’ve been really struggling with your coaching program. I’m trying to set up my blog and I’ve had tons of problems. I can’t set it up to provide value and getting it organized in some fashion to make it easy to navigate is very difficult. My website I set up with your landing page now seems to be not working even though it was two weeks ago. I tried to join the student coaching forum and get help, but I’m still waiting to be accepted. I know you’re aware of the support problems you’ve had and admittedly they are nice and respond in a good timeframe, but they are not much help. Honestly I haven’t viewed anything beyond video 4 and most of the videos have good content, but take too long to cover it. I know many others have been helped and I know you care, but I’m basically on my own even though this is a “coaching” program…I was expecting more one-on-one help either from you or your support staff…I feel like I’ve basically purchased a video course like I have so many other times and I’m left to figure out how to implement everything on my own. I teach Calculus and if you asked me to help you teach Calculus and all I did was hand you a book and some videos you wouldn’t get very far…that’s what a lot of training is out there and many people have trouble putting it all together. Sorry about being negative…just my personal view…many others have praised your program and that speaks volumes to what you do.
Alex,
I have not got off yet in internet marketing even after more then a year. In my judgement, my blog needs to be monetised better.
Since I am not earning any money, the traffic generation is through article marketing and to a small extent SEO.
My list is just about 600. Any help will be appreciated
Hi Alex,
Thanks for sharing your photos from all of your trips, it looks like you had a great time, saw a lot of places and had some great times with your family. I know you’re glad to be home and getting a chance to rest and focus on your planning.
I’ve learned a lot from you in our listbuilding coaching course and I don’t know of anything specific that you could teach us but maybe you could share with us what you’ve learned since you’ve been to all of the recent seminars and rubbing elbows with so many other successful gurus.
Take care and I’m looking forward to your newest product, thanks for sharing it with us!

Alex,
Thank you so much for all the value you have delivered. the guru’s dream is the best. my plans are to create a marketing plan where ppl are able to make money for free in a step by step manner. i plan on creating an ebook to deliver the plan. the thing i believe is a constraint is ensuring that at least in the first stages keeping the cost to the customer at 0. i know of some methods to make money from nothing but it seems ppl may not keep doing it because of attention timeouts. ex- one method would make a person some money however it will take a month to cash out and they have to work for it but it is perfect for bootstrapping. it just seems that with all the bs out there about how to make $100000 a week in the first week has really set some false expectations for the low income crowd. tell me what u think and i will send u more info for ur feedback. as a side note once i get this up and running i thought it would be nice to visit and attend your wedding you guys are a wonderful looking couple.
OK i will talk to u soon
Hey Alex
Hum… For me thus far the thing I would like help with would be locating and offering “good, related, purpose driven” products to be used as either freebees or to market on a whole in general. Most of the emails I’ve received recently, as well as products from ClickBank and so forth are mostly well, “garbage”, to be nice.
I was hoping that when we got started with your program that there would be other new “things” of yours that we could, on a time to time or continual basis, offer expecially thru the blogs….
Thx
Hi Alex,
I have learned so much from yourself that will no doubt stand by me in the future. The biggest hurdle I have is the technical side. I have completed my ebook and am trying to raise the funds to have it launched. I think I would have benefited from an occasional f2f meeting with the other students. Also I think it would have been good to have created a forum where all the students could have posted their respective skills the same as elance etc. It would also be good to make a little money early on to take the pressure off. All in all your help has been invaluable and now I need to monetize this knowledge.
I really need to be more disciplined and stop reading all these e-mails I get. I am undergoing one of your courses but I keep getting distracted out of desperation to grab everything going! You told me to be more disciplined.
The course is relly, really good Alex!! Alex Jeffries aka “The Welsh Wizard”!
Hi Alex
I’m just a bit stuck with getting up blogging. Bit of a div really.
Can you give me a quick way forward.
Thanks
Derek
Some day I will Have the money to travel Like you!
I first need to find A way to get people to Buy!
looking forward to your next e-mail,
Hi Alex,
Just received an email from you, would appreciate any help in furthering my online business, I seem to spend most of my time reading offers from other marketers and get nothing done myself. I have to get organised!
Best wishes
Diane

Well Alex looks like you had a great time and with all that you have acomplished you deserve it! While reading through the comments I didn’t really see anyone having any issues so I guess it must be only me that can’t seem to understand HOW you get the traffic! I’ve done the Blog, I’ve done the social networking, I’ve done the articles, I’ve offered the free stuff and yet I don’t have the traffic! I’m working on the video but how do you get your video viewed? How do you get your articles and blog viewed? I’ve posted to other blogs, I’ve used the tags, I’ve tryed using other gurus and yet still no traffic. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Alex,
When we are just starting Internet marketing what would you recommend we should look into first to start earning money online, is it blogging, affiliate marketing. What is the best way to get going?
The hardest part for me is finding the time to work online having a full-time job and a family.
I wouldn’t mind a month like you’ve just had!!
Really enjoy your videos.
Thanks
Javier.
Hi Alex
Your products are great, have been a subscriber for a while.
My main interest is niche marketing and I have lots of ideas but guess I am scared to start!!! There is so much to learn, and am worried about doing things wrong!
anyway, look forward to your new product and hopefully will soon be on my way to actually making some money online!!
Regards
Tracy
HI Alex, I dropped off . List building may be the crucial thing to do to become very successfull – but I realised on the middle of it – it’s just not my way.
There are couple good reasons for that.
There are other ways – you know that and I will get there
I don’t hate my job and make comfortable living.
But routine and Mortgage are Killers. If I make extra couple G-s a month I would be more then happy and I will .
I am very determined person but my mistake is I multitask and get overwhelmed.
Thanks for all you affort and dedication
IG
Hi Alex
What do I need help with? Getting traffic and converting those I do get into buyers.
A job as I have been unemployed for the last 5 months and urgently need some income.
I am currently doing a website design course and building myself a hub site on which I will be posting reviews about any products I am an affiliate for.
The website I have left above is for a brand new video production and posting system for which I
am a JV partner
I enjoyed the coaching and fully expect you to at least double your stated target of $1,000,000 this year. You give a lot more than promised and I look forward to the future working with you.
Richard
Hey Alex, I’m very jealous of the group of students you spent time with over the weekend. I know along with the fun and good times, they each took away some golden nuggets from being around you.
The coaching course was fab and I just have a couple of questions.
1. How do you find what people want and package it so they want it from you? I know you ask them just like you are doing now but how do you decide on how to give it to them and make it profitable at the same time?
2. Copywriting. If the pros get mega bucks for copywriting and you are so good at it, then please plan a course on copywriting. That is one I am definitely interested in.
That’s it for now. I am deeply grateful for the long hours of hard work you have endured for all of us and you deserved that vacation time and much needed rest.
I’ve been getting things going by helping out the Gazz Man and Parksey with some graphics for their projects so I’m trying to do what I can with the abilities I have.
I have to admit though that plugging all of what we have learned into a complete business system is a liitle hard but then again that’s why most people quit I think.
The biggest thing you gave me Alex is determination so I will never quit. As I give, give, and give some more, it will all come back around eventually.
Can’t wait for what you have “planned” for us next. Until next time my friend.
Michael J Ottman
PS. Maria Andros is finally following me on Twitter. Maybe it’s time you do the same. After all, you are my mentor. LOL
Hi Alex,
another great story of yours and an excellent way to get our attention! Congratulations!
Thank you for your coaching programme which I could attend only partially, but I know it is full of golden nuggets.
Apart from “real life” problems my main obstacle to step over that threshold to online success is my tendency to loose focus and do too many things simultaneously, and a lack of proper planning of which I am guilty, too.
I would appreciate more details and a step by step method to follow in order to get traffic and build my list. That still is a major hurdle.
Furthermore with the limited funds a have available, it would be great to get some help with actually making my first $$$ to fund further development and build upon to make the business grow.
If there is some sure fire way to earn a modest but stable income on the internet in any niche, I would love to learn all about it.
Thank you again and all the best to you and your loved ones. Good success in good and stable health!
Cheers,
Juergen
I’m totally new to Internet Marketing. I am looking for information and training. I cannot afford to wast my time,money or efort anymore.
Show me the way.You seem to know it all and I’m willing to learn. Your trip sounded great.I’d like to do something like that this year maybe with your information I can.
Hi Alex.
You leave me weak at the thought of you, and all your dashing about!! I reach three score, and ten tomorrow, so like things a little slower. There was a time when I was like you, but I have great memories!!
Thank you for the coaching course, and for the ongoing help you are giving. My main problem is the technology, but I am getting there, and am determined to succeed!! This is all new ground, but I am glad at last to be tackling it.
I am gaining much from your coaching, and work on it most days. Planning is getting better, and I see the importance of list building.
Great to see your photos, and the fun you all had. I was there in Orlando with my wife, and two children in 1976.
Every blessing
John
Hey Alex,
Sorry we missed you in Manchester, buddy.
Chris is gonna arrange another one real soon, so hopefully we can catch up again then.
Cheers for now,
Chris
Great blog my friend! Very informative…
Hey Alex,
First of all congrats on your acheivements to date you are an inspiration.
Although not part of your F500 I have been following you for quite a while and have learnt a ton of info from your products, looking at how you market and what you market online.
I finally have my own product launched and now focusing on promoting that as much as possible, with many differnt ways which can be hit and miss! There are so many ways to get traffic, it’s just finding the right, successful route.
If any successful marketer could help me it would be in this area, successful promotion and building relationships with successful people like you to help promote.
How about a ‘Big Brother’ over the shoulder video series following the process for successfully launching a product and how you approach it? Or the process you use from start to finish? Seeing HOW would be a HUGE advantage, but would you reveal the secrets?
Anyways, have a cool time getting to $1,000,000!
Sean
Hey Alex,
Don’t know where you get your stamina, man … it’s go go go for you! Sorry we never did get to hook up while you were in Florida like you did with some of the group in the UK. Maybe next time. Looks like you had a great time though!!
Okay, to your question. The things I would like to learn are how to find a profitable niche, getting affiliates and jv partners, and writing sales copy that converts.
Looking forward to the extended coaching classes and Vegas, baby.
Till then,
Debbie
just wanted to say thanks & looking forward to working with your products success is around the corner.
Hi Alex Great to hear from you again and yes you have been busy and I was jealous when I read where you have been lately Its great when you can go to all these events and get the buzz.
Not only that but you learn a great deal and always come away with new ideas and friends and are buzzing for about a week with ideas of taking over the world its great but then it wears away and we all seem to drift back into normal life.
This i have always found to be the biggest problem taking the ideas and capitalising on them and moving forward, I suppose this is where the plan comes into effect so just need to buckle down and get the plan of action done.
Looking forward to the future you have planned to keep us busy
Cheers Tony R
Hi Alex, I’m looking forward to help you get the $1,000,000 in 2009 by helping you promote your next coaching program!

Hello Alex,
Looks like you had a great time on your travels,Alex, I am really envious.
Did a little travelling myself last week, unfortunately not for pleasure. I was made redundant last month and had to get on my bike to find something to pay the bills until I start to make it on the ‘net.
Got a weeks work with my old firm which took me to
Zurich, Geneva, Milan and back for tea on Friday
I can recommend the train journey from Geneva to Milan through the Alps. The scenery was stunning.
Life is getting in the way at the moment and so focus is my main problem.
I have a link problem with my PPP site which needs sorting out. I also need some extra time on video marketing together with getting more traffic to my blog.
Looking forward to being involved with your new project .
Thanks again for all your help.
Speak soon
John Patterson
Hey Alex,
I appreciate all you do and all the help you provide. You are an inspiration to me and I see you as completely genuine in your efforts to show the way to those, like me, who have tremendous desire and willingness but just don’t know where to start. I also learn from you to be persistent and never, never give up. Any help you give me is welcome! I would like to meet you one day. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks,
Donzie Welgoss
Alex is rocking the IM world huh
I’d love to hear more about your teaching methods, how you’re building your list, your obviously hypnotic marketing ways!
And mooooore blog posts so I can pick your brain virtually
Hello, Alex. My hangup mainly is that I have trouble with the jargon associated with starting an online business. I’m getting better, but it is slow. I need to know how to implement getting your ad (or any other) on my blog (for your book).Then I feel I can go from there. (I believe I can be of asset to others who reach the “senior citizen” age. I just turned 65 march 2.)
Yours sincerely, John
great coaching content, keep up the good work…Looking forward for more
)
Alex,
One of the things I find most frustrating is research, finding the right market/niche. I do agree that planning is key as well as actually taking action. Look forward to your next video.
Paul
Hi Alex,
Could use some more help in getting TRAFFIC to my web sites. I want the real ways you use or other marketers use to get traffic to your sites.
Also On Copywriting do you use hypnotic marketing or what type of hidden persuasion marketing do you or other marketers use.
Sincerely,
James Derr
Alex – wow that’s some travelogie!!
Every day brings so many new ‘miracle offers’ many from big names, its easy to get lost and confused in it all.
What are ten first practical steps to start business and start earning ?
thanks so much for any advice
Hi Alex,
You just had my ideal month! Hopefully I’ll have it soon.
I want to promote a new company, new concept, nothing like it in Australia, but it will come to the US later. Looking for resellers and customers. How to advertise when there is nothing like it, so no one looking for it?
Thanks, Diane
How do we determine the best domain name when there’s conflictual views? And how much compettition for quantity of searches is needed for great keywords?
Thank you.
Hi Alex,
I need to make money and want to build a list and offer products to my list.
Can you help me achieve this, as I’ve no funds for tutoring as I’m broke and never made a penny online.
Stuart
Hi Alex,
I have decided to concentrate on SEO Marketing, because everyone thinks people they don’t know are trying to scam them. I need help maintaining my No. 1 Position in the Organic SERP.
Ricardo
Wow, u hit the nail on the head when u said “planning”. Making a plan is easy. but sticking too it……….well that is a whole different concept.
Hi,
My main sticking point is getting people to look at my offers and buy. Areas to focus on then would be traffic flow and lead conversions.
Graeme
Hi Alex,
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. It helps some of us see what the reality of this business can be.
Here is my situation:
1. The need for starting a new business for NO money. (have all the time in the world to invest)
2. For five years I have failed at what seems like 5000 attempts and drained the bank account.
3. Is it wise to start from ground zero?
I am always told what to do, but it’s the “how to do it” that always has me falling on my face.
Cheers,
Kathy
Hi Alex,
I am marketing with you too.
Pity about Wales though.
You really are a star, hoenestly, you give the best tips and advice always.
Good Luck
John
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Alex
I have too many questions but the important one for me is how to make 25,000 a year (I am modest).
I am glad you understand that giving is receiving and I am sure you will get your big reward for this.
Thanks

Hi Alex, I’m what is called a “newbie”. I have been looking at internet marketing in my spare time for a while now. Reading various “guru’s” websites and newsletters, including some of the guys you meet with during your recent travels. Downloading products and reports,some purchased but mostly free. My inbox is jammed full with emails offering the latest must have product. Now I am suffering from information overload.
Few months ago, following one of the programs downlosded, I set up a blog to promote an affiliate fitness program. This has not resulted in any sales.
What would help me and many others like me?
A simple basic plan of action to follow which will get us to the goal of reaching first base. This will help us achieve our first sales and start to earn money from internet marketing.
What a boost this will be to our confidence and self esteem. It will be the second stepping stone to financial freedom.
The first stepping stone, at least for me, is leaving this comment on your blog.
Thanks for your help as far and I look forward to the new products you have planned.
Kind regards, David
I Need help with my blog I want to add interest, fun and help people out, but dont know if I am attracting or turning them away. I try to do lots of research befor posting and wonder if I am trying to hard to sell. maybe you will give me some pointers in the right direction.
I need help with free traffic and converting those to sales.
Thanking you Warren
How you can help me…..I’d love to find a way to deal with all the launches from huge gurus that I know are simply wonderful. By that I mean..I’m new to this and don’t have the time or money to invest in it all. Yet when I read emails from these guys that I know so much about I want to try everything they do.
How do I “plan” for success and let these slip by? It’s hard to stick with my goals when there is so much great new information every day.
Thanks for the opportunity to share this. The pictures were wonderful!!

Hi alex: I just got started in this computer stuff. I don’t know what’s good or no good,but I guess you are never too old to learn. I’m 81 yrs. old. on a very limited pension,and I don’t have much cash left over at the end of the month, so I probably won’t make much dough. I don’t have anything else to do, so I’ll just try for awhile on the freebies. You sure get around to a lot of places in a week. keep up the good work, and i’ll be looking for your e-mails. Mel
Hi Alex,
You’ve given me some great info… Keep it coming!!!
I have so much to learn about affiliate marketing.
Hopefully, someday I’ll get this thing figured out and start making some money.
Thanks for all of your help,
Jamie
Hi Alex
I pulled out last time because I was doing to many Programs and being a newbie it’s all too much. And it cost to the USD is Near Double here in this part of the world. I have learned a Little up to now but have along way to go. And yes I’m one of those sucker that get all excited and sign up too many programs. I don’t know if I the Pregame will help me or not because I don’t understand what the hell I need to get me there. And there is so many way to do Internet marketing I just get LOST and confused with it all.
Thank for your support. Stan the man.
Hello Alex,
I am in the rut of not taking action. It is not that I don’t want to, I do. I am just too busy looking at all the other marketers out there pedeling there wares and not taking care of myself by taking action and getting things done for me.
I have to get a plan together and just start!
Take care,
Frank

Everyone needs a plan, in fact I have lots of plans just in case some don’t work which is often the case. It’s the ones that do work that bring home the bacon.
Hi Alex,
Should I monetize a blog with different affiliate accounts relating to the same topic? Thanks for your feedback.
I really need help with choosing and focusing on exactly what is going to help me move my business forward. There is so much distraction and new stuff to try every day. Its mind blowing and its difficult
to choose and stick to what is the right stuff for me. To get me consistantly progressing towards the
targets.
Greetings Alex!
I love learning from you, very inspiring. Presently I am stuck on “copywriting salesletters”. I am struggling getting words down that grab my readers and make them desire my products.
Hey Alex, Great post..
I made a recent comment to you on Twitter, about if you’re ever in Florida again I wanted to take you, Katie, and that beautiful son of yours out to dinner.
Well? I’m waiting for an explanation???
Why haven’t you gotten in touch?
Just kiddin my friend. LOL
As you know, I’m a fairly successful internet marketer. But NOWHERE near a million dollars a year.
So, if you can do anything to help me attain that plateau, I’ll be in your debt for ever. {:-)
Giving your next product to us will definitely help..

Hi Alex,
Great Post!
How about a product that walks somebody through the ENTIRE process of coming up with, creating & marketing an information product and then how to collect payment, deliver & service those sales.
I’m talking the COMPLETE PROCESS from A to Z… using THE BEST tips, tricks & strategies YOU know.
Ideally, THIS SYSTEM would show ANYBODY (beginner to advanced) how to quickly & easily set up an information marketing business that generates $10K + /mo.
There’s pieces of the puzzle everywhere – but this would be a one-stop resource to start a 6 figure + business.
Thanks Alex
Kelly
Hi Alex, You are an inspiration to us newbies that are struggling to see even a smattering of success.
I know you have worked hard and truly deserve all the success you are enjoying, especially at a young enough age to be able to actually enjoy it.
All my Best,
Mike D
Hi, Alex. Thanks for the inspiring stories of your past month. I’m looking forward to whatever you do next.
As for what I’d like to learn–list building and how to get traffic are my main concerns.
Bob
Hi Alex,
Thanks for all the help, can’t wait for more. Money is tight right now could use a push in the right direction to earn a little more , wish I could travel like you.
Thank you,
reaching for the stars, Jeramy
Hi Alex,
My main problem is a serious case of brain fog. I have read so much stuff that now I am overloaded with info and still don’t really know where to start. I would really appreciate some guidance, some help organizing things and formulating a business plan. Something I can stick with and expand it from there. Thanks for everything.
Well then what do I want? I want it all. But most importantly I want to be successful working from home. I have tried so many diferent approaches I forgot half of them. I always come up negative in the pocketbook.
Trying the affiliate thing now, I get clicks all the time but nobody spending. Man it would be nice to actually make money instead of just spending it all the time.
Hoping you can Help,
Barb
I have been faithfully following everything you have brought on board to your readers. I find it difficult to keep up with technical applications of every sort.
Maybe it’s my age,76, but keeping up with new technology just seems to get me bogged down.
I appreciate all your wonderful info. and continue to aspire to new heights.
Keep up the good work and I know you will be a millionaire in 2009.
I look forward to your future material with great anticipation. I’m always anticipating forging to new heights. To our bright future together!!
Hi man,
Really nice to see you back! Looking forward for your free gift (whatever it is I know it’ll be of great value)!
Nice pics dude! I’m kinda starting to envy your lifestyle:)
BTW… Right now I’m completely focused on generating traffic to my site and encrease my list number. Any news or tips on traffic sources that works “the magic” fast (and preferably for free)?
Thanks for your help!
Julio.
Hey Alex… I’m ready and waiting for ya!
Pile on the goodies
Thanks

I seriously need a personal trainer. I am just not making it on my own. Just love your attitude of gratitude work ethic. Nothing like the give back method, it works every time. Warm regards.
Hi Alex, Glad to see UK folk holding their own with the ‘gurus’ in the US.
My problem is I need to get something up and running quickly to give me the capital to invest in the longer term ventures. I never have enough cash to get or keep anything going long enough to get into a positive cash flow.
Any suggestions?
Rita
Hey There Alex,
We need to put GPS device on you. Where in the world is Alex Jeffreys!!
Looks like the get together in London was great fun! Interesting bunch of suspects there.
I am looking forward to what you come up with next and miss you all all the Alex Tribe meetings.

Alex,
I’m 71 yrs old, $300,000 in debt, most of it via attempting to make it in Internet Marketing, and buying into some IM scams and my own failures. I would like to get help in how to contribute what I can and somehow pay off that debt before I move on to the next level, if you know what I mean.
love the swimming with sharks pic mate!
Matt
As a newbie to this, I find the more I research I am now at information overload. The next best thing to taking me by the hand and showing me step by step, would be a detailed a-z on what to do, and exactly how to do it.
Hi Alex,
I’m a babyboomer who should have been born 15 years earlier to under some of this stuff.
Like a lot of others, I’ve spent way too much money over the years on tools, scripts, “must have” reports, etc. without the first site up.
I’d like a service that sets up a wordpress blog, aweber account with initial email series, and a few related clickbank affiliate products of my choice. This would be the initial framework to jumpstart the learning process.
Then a “How to create your own product” to replace the affiliate products.
Gary
hi Alex,
I’d like to learn about managing virtual assistants so that I can make my marketing as easy and automatic as possible. What does a webmaster do?
who is the one who submits articles or who can write them? who is the one who looks for joint venture partners? who is the one who puts new information on the website? those kinds and other similar questions.
Hi Alex,
Great update on living the life. Now could you give an update on traffic building using give-a-ways. Thanks for all the support.
To the Top
Tracy
Hi Alex. Read most of the other comments, and several of them seem to have the same issues that I have. Bruce Leonard in particular – I feel like he was writing for me, & I’d like to second what he said in total. Some others also; I’m quite new to this whole thing (making $ online). Been doing a lot of research, spending $ that I don’t have, etc. and I need someone to put it all together: A, B, C, etc. from beginning to end. I’m not new to computers but some of the things that I’ve read make me feel like I’ve got years of education ahead of me and I don’t have the time or $$ to do that. I need help getting started, and for the least amt of $ possible. Thx for all you have done & I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I agree with Den above. I’ve been overloaded with information from “gurus” and promised information that never delivered. Most stuff is how to sell the author’s own material, so he/she makes more $ from your efforts. I need something to show me a) step 1, b) step 2, c) step 3 and so on, from someone who has “been there and done that”. Don’t give me a fish, teach me how to fish in the internet/online world so I can help myself and then be able to help someone else.
I have been attempting (unsucessfully) to earn money online for about four years now. One of my biggest problems has been a lack of focus, but you’ve helped me with that. Your instruction on planning was also extremely helpful. Other issues I am still struggling with include my lack of technical knowledge/skills and copywriting skills. We are told to outsource these tasks if we can’t do them ourselves, but when you’re working with a very limited budget, that is difficult to do. I recognize that I have a lot more to learn about making money online, but right now I am probably most interested in learning more about driving traffic. Thanks for sharing so much with us!

Hi Alex,
Your ideas sound great. I am just starting out with a blog and nothing else. So any offer of help or ideas would be fantastic. Thank you.
Hey Alex,
Good tio hear from you adn see the life you lead !!! You are a D Y N A M O ..

Maybe I can be the guy selling shovels to others who want to get it !!!

Take care my friend,

Alex,
Wow! We just got through with 2 days of tornados and then snow in Alabama, and I get to see your pictures of Orlando and the Bahamas — I’d rather be there! Sounds like you had a great time.
Things I need help with:
1. Planning and organization (or maybe organization and planning)
2. How to best develop a relationship with people once they’re on your list
3. Inexpensive traffic generation
Thanks for your help and advice! Your newsletter is one of the few I always read.
)
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the free gift first, i sure it will be very useful to newbie like me
Thank you
Hi Alex,
You sure are on the move now, networking with the big names in marketing.
How about a video on traffic generation and listbuilding for the newbies.
Regards,
William
i get bombarded with so much crap its viscious out there so my approach is going to start in specific niche markets and how to build your first webpage with adsence etc. and go from there i have a serious problem of actually putting anything i gather into use and actually start but not anymore as i am like a crack junkie with info products but the timne has come to take massive action!!!!!! i believe if you learn something that benefits you then you are morally obligated to help others…….thanks again.
Alex, I’m a huge fan! I fully agree with David Brown. In fact, I believe that he has channelled my starting an internet marketing business.
I also have a difficult time in finding a profitable niche. I use micro niche finder, but I still haven’t tried it out on a site. So, with that said, I have two major problems – first, the niche, second, getting started! PLEASE HELP!
Love your enthusiasm Alex and your determination to achieve your goals.
Something I need to do better is time management, particularly being able to decide what the priorities are in IM.
I spose being an oldie and v. slow with the tech stuff, some of us just need a lot more time than others to complete so-called ’simple’ tasks.
Anyway Alex thanks for your enthusiasm and help.
Wow, I’m inspired, someone told me a couple of days ago that when I talk about my dream it still comes across as if it is just a fairytale so to see you living your dream really inspires me to make it really happen. thank you
Hi Alex, Take a cleansing breath buddy. You sure are on the move big time. Stoked about your success. Personally, I would like it if you could outline how to get started from point A to Z. I am torn as to where to begin. With the financial state of things, money is not to be thrown about lightly. Especially if you’re a single mom with a college student at home. So, I look forward to the future. Keep me posted. Again, congrats on all your successes!
Still trying to find the recordings of the last few webinars.
Hey Alex,
Man, I got carpal tunnel syndrome from scrolling down to get to where I could leave a comment. Does “workman’s comp” come with the coaching?
You deserve to take a break cause you’ve been working your butt off. I have no doubts that you will make your million dollars this year, especially since you kind of let me in on some secrets when we met up in Florida.
I can’t thank you enough for every thing you have done with the coaching program. You over delivered the goods in all aspects. The module on planning and goal setting has really helped me to become focused and more productive.
You have really inspired me to take action. I have added almost 1000 subscribers to my list since joining the coaching program.
I just finished my first ebook, which is up on the blog for free now. I am hosting my own JV giveaway along with Gary Simpson, Garry Parkes, and Carl Barton, that will be launching very soon.
I have some awesome plans for future projects and feel confident that they will come to fruition. I feel that you are responsible for a large portion of this.
For me, knowing that I am taking the correct steps and not spinning my wheels, has motivated me to put forth the necessary effort to make it happen.
Now, I want to learn more about creating partnerships and JV’s. I have been to a few live events but it is not financially possible for me to go to more than 1 or 2 a year. I have already started putting money back for our Vegas workshop.
What techniques do you suggest I use from home to try and make contacts without coming off like some sort of stalker. That is the kind of thing that will help me most right now.
Once again, I can’t thank you enough.
See ya in Vegas,
JT
Alex,
Darrell again maybe tonight I can get my message in. I read alot of the comments that have been posted, and I thought I was just not going to be able to do the marketing thing, but I so I’m not alone. My list being 0 my antylitics dont work and I’m in a traffic jam. And trying to keep all my bills payed or extended. I’m working on 2 ecommerce pages trying to make some income there. Glad to have you back home or over there home.
Thanks Darrell
Hi Alex, I’m still struggling time-wise, but intend to get moving with planning.
I’d like to know what software/systems you use and also the best progression to generate leads, ie blog to website to social interaction sites with articles etc.
Cheers, Louis
You were in the area twice and you didn’t look me up? Whats up with that?
This week I am working on a list of worksheets I got for the purpose of improving myself in all areas of my life. These are very detailed Goals oriented things such as the main goals, activities I enjoy, Character traits – good and bad. Things I need to get rid of, step by step plans to reach my goals and brainstorming, just to name a few. Then, and only then, I will go back over the entire course and put your steps into practice properly. I did this years ago and it worked like it should have. Somehow I got away from it until you came along. Thanks for everything.
The next time you are in the Tampa, Florida area, look me up. We can go deep sea fishing – safely, of course.
I think that it is wonderful to read about someone who is actually making money and who is still prepared to help others – I would like it if indeed I could be a success in this field also…go well..btw you have a lovely family…cheers
Alex: Thanks for the listbuilding techniques – I have followed your advice and some others like Filsame, Shefren, Alaport and Gislison – I am designing my own products – and selling PLR ,but like many of the others listed herein, I still get tripped up on the basic steps – A step by step program is best for me, its worked in the brick and mortar world I tend to now think I need it here. Haven’t made a great deal yet, but I think I’m close. Thanks again Alex – your products are great. RB
Hi Alex,
Keep up the impressive work. I continue to follow you and your students (through their blogs) to learn as much as I can and as quickly as I can. It’s tough without personal help, because of the cost. You’re the next best thing! Looking forward to your next product and service offering.

Alex,
You asked how you can help us, so here’s my question:
I’m looking at a couple of non-IM niches that still have fairly big potential/competition. I guess my dilemma is having the confidence to know I’ll be able to compete once I put myself out there with a website and landing page and commit to an adwords campaign, write some articles, etc. Is there a point where you just have to say “I’m going for it”??
Hi Alex,
Sounds like a very hectic but fun whirlwind you’ve been on. Like one of the other people on here I don’t know a whole lot and am really struggling with trying to get all of this stuff together. Could really use some help with laying out a plan and some sort of organization to all the things I’ve been learning. I love the learning part. The whole process is so stimulating but at the same time confusing and sometimes feel as if I’m running in circles. I start to many things at once so can’t finish anything. Guess I really need some sort of system. Well thanks for listening to my rant.
Hey Alex!
Every time I get an email from you, I know that it’s really valuable even before I start reading it.
In fact, one email from you is worth 10’s of emails I get every day under other subscriptions.
I appreciate that.
Keep doing the way you do it! We really need your help and advice!
THANK YOU!
Alex A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse but the more you reveal the better i see. I am an affiliate marketer but stuck with the pack of wolves but would really like to climb mount everest on my own but lack the direction and don’t want to find myself lost on the trail only to end up in the internets artic tundra of marketing.
Hi Alex. My problem is one of concentrating on what will make money now – instead of being too easily sidetracked.
I guess developing a workable PLAN – and then following through, would be a good start.
David
Hey Alex!
Great pics!
I’m very happy to see that you enjoy life to its fullest… You have a wonderful family and things will only get better for you, as you continue to share your knowledge.
The help that I’m in need of is the techie stuff, such as” uploading graphics and photos to sales pages, Blogs, etc. I seem to be falling further and further behind…
Thanks in advance for anything you can help me with.
Keep on, Keeping on…
Hey Alex,
Well as you know when you and I have conversed you know I speak my mind. So you want to hear. Well right now I am kind of under the gun. My house is in foreclosure although I currently do have that stopped put on hold. I am passionate about this business I go from morning 8:00 AM to late morning about 2:00 AM every day putting up sites, affiliates programs,reading,thought I selected some really good affiliate programs but still haven’t turned any money, my own resale sites, rewriting PLR, and working on my baby, my niche project in the cooking and recipe area. I believe with all my fortitude that this will go and be a success, although I fight with almost no support on it. I guess the reason is that my wife charley has seen me work this the past year and still not get anywhere. I paid last fall for a coaching program and had lots given to me but I really never learned what I needed. I bought Ewen Chia’s new book from amazon and got his bonus video’s. While watching the video about taking a resale product and preparing it with website and sales page down load page, and using a little meta tag in the code before the title to protect my product down load from the google spider. Never was taught that in the coaching program. All we were told was where to put our names in the code add keywords within the paragraphs, but not too many because of densisty, adding our title and description meta tags and upload. I believe if we were taught to build a site and our own product we would have been further ahead. We all had the same product. The coaching program cost me $2000 The book cost $15, the videos, priceless!!! I have actually learned more from these videos. Ewen is a very smart man I have purchased a lot from him and I have learned a lot from him. There are times I have a problem staying focused, I jump around. Have been changing that problem though. “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think , we become.” Maharishi Mahesh Yogi I stay away from email and erase most, just can’t take the time to deal with it. Wayne Dyer said “When you change the way you look at things the things you look at change.”I have a really short window here. I have a couple of sites up and squeeze pages that I have learned to construct. Working like I say resale and my own products. I have a gift, I can write I want to take that gift and parlay it into a six figure income this year. My wife and my self in eight years haven’t had a vacation. always chasing that almighty buck. I want to travel with my wife, I don’t want to worry about my mortgage, my bills. I live in colorado on five acres on a mountain. I am 1500 ft over Durango (the town I live in). I want to build a double car garage off my house with an office over the garage. I want to buy my wife her dream car, which is simply a ford Mustang. She doesen’t care what year it is what model it is she just has always wanted a Mustang to drive, one thought a convertible would be nice.
That’s what I want. How do I get there? Working smarter. My project I believe should be ready in about two weeks. The problem I have is with graphics, and although I realize that I need killer graphics the money is not there to do them. I will do them my self if I have to , I do have gimp and version 4 of photoshop. Most every thing I know about the internet I have taught my self by reading researching and trial and error. I want this to work in the worst way. so that’s pretty much where I am at, sorry to make this so long but you asked, you wanted to know. In closing: “If I give you a fish you’ll eat for as long as I feed you, If I teach you to fish you’ll eat forever.” Alex, teach me to fish!!!!
speak soon

hey alex,wow youv’e had an enormous amount of traffic since i last posted which was only a day or two ago…wanted to know more about what content to provide to my list and how to nurture them? keep on strong alex your doing so well..:)
adrian slide your student.
Hi Alex
Great story about your travels, be great to join you some time, share what’s new. If you’re down in New Zealand any time soon then get in touch and I’ll show you around – it’s a small country LOL!
Looking forward to seeing you succeed, trust I can pick up some good tips and strategies and boost my business from ‘on the runway’ to ‘cruising at 30,000′.
I think the best way you could help me would be showing me how to drive targetted traffic to my audiobook site. I guess I’ve been overwhelmed by all the expert opinion and ideas and emphasis and advice and … out there, just some serious focus would be most appreciated
Thanks

Hi Alex,
Looks like lots of great traveling and YES those sharks remind me of all the hungry marketers sending the latest “must have” to my inbox daily!
I have my 1st blog now and need to get up a (or many) squeeze pages and (more blogs for affiliate products), prep an “ethical bribe” or 2, then I can get out more articles and social stuff to drive traffic, while building my list and… on and on. Lack of the exact plan and funds have kept me moving like a slug, though overwhelmed with information. I’m looking forward to a steady $100 a day, then $200…and on up.
Just solid foundation to grow on.
Thanks,
Powerpaul
Hi Alex, Thanks for the travelogue. Great pics. Brings back some good memories. Here are my needs.
Where you are stuck? Mainly financial. Lost my business and a subsequent job within a year. Got started with IM a year ago but still feel like a “newbie”. Made little money with affiliate marketing. Cannot afford to buy programs/systems so learning to do it the long, hard way.
What do you feel is getting in your way? At the moment it is staying focused. I need to make something work and then build on it. I am getting there slowly. I am 65 and the old grey matter goes into tilt with all the tech stuff.
What makes you mad online? Mainly the dishonesty in advertising. Often you don’t get what you signed up for. Also the guys who tell you that they know where you are because they were also broke and then they hit you with a $97 a month offer.
Well that’s about it. Very basic problems but real. It includes all the aspects of an online business. Business, not making a few dollars here and there. I am working long, hard hours because I simply have to crack it soon.
Thanks,
Jack.
Alex,
I recently acquired over 600 Top Level Domain Names in the Dot Asia space. I have some serious real estate, 3 word, 4 word and 5 word names that just pop. I have been meticulously planning, strategizing, testing, split testing and envisioning ways of linking or combining similar category names into traffic dominating machines. A self-generating marketing mash up.. I have not seen, besides parking, many concrete ways of leveraging bulk to create massive wealth. Any thoughts?
Michael- Phuket.
Okay Alex,
It is obvious that you definitely do a tremendous amount of outsourcing of your work.
Please,could you be kind enough to provide a functional guideline of how to do it, i.e. who to contact, how do you select the overseas assistants,negotiating the payments etc etc.
Yes, most Gurus mention outsourcing as a key pillar to their success, but only provide lip-service, and completely skirt the step-by-step action steps needed to line it up.
You can be sure that I will keep reminding you of this frequently until we get a functional answer.
Thank you.
Hi Alex,
Like the rest of the F500 I need to thankyou so very much for putting me back on the right path. For to long I had strayed blindly from one thing to another not really making any proper headway. Thankfully that situation is well past me. I am as focused as a laser. I know exactly what I want and now with your teaching I know exactly how to get it :O)
All the very best to you Katie and Cameron

Hi Alex,
Looks like you and your family had a blast. I am and have been trying for the past 6 months to make money on line with very little to show for it except a large unpaid credit card. I was layed off last September (mortgage banking) thanks to this horrible economy. Any advice is greatly welcomed. I sure don’t want to have my home go into forclosure!
Thanks for all the info thus far and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Hello Alex,
I would like to know what your students know about making money online and do it for myself
as well.
I am tired of all the hype and sizzle that we all typically see online. All promise and no delivery.
All I need is a proven plan of action…
A simple but powerful plan that anyone
can follow that will actually generate
an unlimited income online…
$10K, $20K, 30K, $100K (+) a month…!!!
I’m willing to do the work and I’m teachable.
Yes, I would like to know your plan to make
alot of money…
Respectfully submitted,
David Naigle

Very interesting, Alex. And inspiring also. I want to learn some more..
Hey Alex,
Really enjoyed the pictures of you and the family. Looking for ward to see what your gift to us will be. I would like for you to show how to generate traffic to my website and to get sign ups for my list. Would also like to know how to get set up with giveaways and get shown how they can help with list building. Would really like to send you some pictures of my family on vacation.
Hi Alex,
….get back to work Alex its much less stressful lol.
I see you have been taking some well earned rest
After being unemployed for 2 years I finally got a job working away from home in early January.
I have missed your last few webinars as I have been concentrating getting up to speed with my new job.
Can I request that you leave the membership site up leaving us access to the videos so that I can catch up and reveiw the videos for I am sure that I must have missed some great tips first time viewing. Alternatively, could they be made available for download or on CD which we can purchase.
Thanks for a great course Alex, I haven’t made any money yet but now am keen to rekindle and restart my efforts for the long term this is the route I want to take.
Good luck with all your future ventures, I hope that in some small way I can play a part concluding in our mutual success.
Best Regards
Mick Gray
Hi Alex,
Sounds like you’ve been having a fantastic time!
Can’t wait to see what your new report has to teach us!
As for the question…I’m with Gary Simpson: “Can you invent a time machine and give me and the others some more hours to get things done?” Or maybe show us how to automate more things.
Regards,
Annette.
Firstly, welcome back. Sounds like you’ve packed a whole year’s living into a couple of months!
It must have been hard going at times, but I’m sure it was as stimulating, enlightening and fun as it was hectic.
It’s a demonstration of your dedication and commitment that as soon as you come back, and even though your coaching course is officially over, you ask your students what help they need next. I’d like to say thank you, from all of us.
As I told Dean, I think one of the biggest single issues facing the 500 recently, or at least some of the newbies among them, has been that of ‘positioning’.
Thanks to your excellent course and the huge amount of good advice, encouragement, inspiration, knowledge and practical training you have provided, a number of people are well on the road to success.
But some who aren’t doing so well may be feeling a bit bewildered. They know that they have relatively little experience; little expertise to attract followers. Despite having made great progress, they feel as if they’re falling behind. If the money WAS chasing them, falling behind might be an advantage! But it’s not, yet, and some have very real cash-flow and time issues which could well thwart their plans even as they take the long view and work hard to build a business.
They have many fellow students, as well as the established marketers, competing with them for attention in the marketplace.
What, they wonder, should be their strategy for success?
Some talk of moving right out of the IM niche into something less hotly contested, having been advised that IM is no place for newbies.
They could, of course, spend more time working to get good at a sub-niche of the IM world, but there’ll always be others positioned ahead of them. In the webinar you did with Glenn Dietzel, he said that whatever you’re marketing, you’ve got to be seen as THE expert, because everyone flocks to the #1 authority. No-one else gets a look-in, says Glenn: it’s what he calls ‘Zipf’s Law’. (Actually, Zipf’s law isn’t about market behaviour, it’s a mathematical law describing statistical distributions; but Seth Godin did invoke it in this context.)
Anyway, Glenn’s assertion may have worried some people, because if true, it could leave beginners forever out in the cold. If they’re honest about being beginners, who’s going to follow them, when, whatever sub-niche they’re in, there are so many established experts readily available?
Some advisers say “Never mind the truth, feed the punters the dreams they want to hear: convince them YOU’RE the expert and they’ll believe anything you say.”
But that’s not the Alex Jeffreys way of doing things.
Like you, your students want to to be honest and straightforward with people. They want to move forward with the integrity you epitomised in “The Gurus Dream”, where you turned away from the hype and BS you saw in IM.
So, I think some people might still need help in formulating a strategy to position themselves with sufficient credibility, despite their limited experience, to actually be able to do some marketing.
Thanks again, and best wishes to you and your family.
James
You must spend a lot of time flying, Exciting lifestyle!
Hi Alex,
Wow, looks like you’ve been having a fabulous time!
I can’t wait to see what your new report contains!
As for my question, I’m with Gary Simpson:”Can you invent a time machine and give me and the others some more hours to get things done?” Or show us how to automate more things…without losing that personal touch? lol Is that possible?
Regards,
Annette.
Oops! So sorry….I didn’t think my comment was posted the first time, now I see I’ve doubled up.
Apologies.
Hi Alex,
My biggest question is about balance – how to balance a personal life while building a business. My business takes a ridiculous number of hours and my personal relationships suffer. So, any insight you can give in to achieving a more balanced lifestyle while building a business would be fabulous! Thanks,
Jen
I have all the ideas in my head and spend hours trying to format them to what I do first, second etc. And in the end lots of thought and no action. I guess an action plan and best tools to use would be an excellent start. Also watching videos to see the process and copying it works. Good luck with your plans, hope mine sort out as well.
Hi Alex
This sounds fantastic- what an offer!
I am desperate to build a successful internet business and achieve financial independence!
My biggest problem is finding a highly profitable niche, then being as honest as possible and knowledgeable in a niche that I may know absolutely nothing about- this is what holds me back big time!!! Oh and I want to fulfil my New Years resolution- to spend Hogmany in Sidney.
Alex;
It looks like you have had a great time with your wonderful family. I would like to have that kind of time as well. I look forward to hearing more about what you bring out of the creative process. I do look forward to making “quit my job” money on the internet. I know it will be good!
Sharon
Hi Alex,
Loved looking at your vacation picks. I’ve long been a member of your “emails” but I’m still new to this. Whenever I’ve started a program in the past, I usually can’t get past the second instruction on what to do once I set myself up. Usually I don’t have the same links or they don’t match up with what’s being instructed. I get very frustrated and end up doing nothing. I would love someone to take me by the hand and HELP ME!! I want to be financially independent!!!
Hi Alex,
I always enjoy reading your e-mails and blogs. You really give great info and thanks for that.
Really need help with driving traffic to my blog. Also don’t fully understand how to get links so any guidance on that would be appreciated. I also need to come up with a plan as I need to be more focussed. I start work on one project, then something else comes up that looks more interesting so I divert my attention to that, and so it goes on. No doubt you have heard that time and time again!
Look forward to your next product.
All the best.
Graham
Hi Alex,
This is all new to me. I want to learn the business and create an income that will support us now and sustain us as we retire, which is right around the corner.
I like what you are saying and I love the personal touches with you sharing your family and all your friends and students. Makes it seem for real to me.
Looking forward to learning more and following your successful lead.
Hi Alex,
It’s always great to hear from you and learn what you’ve been up to.
Seems like you’ve been working very hard to help your students whilst also getting around and having some fun. That’s what life is all about.
Looking forward tolearning much more about your new product – and if I end up getting it for free – well thanks very much indeed.
Best wishes,
Mike
Really look forward to your product. Hope to learn how to generate traffic to my website and to build up my list. Keep up the impressive work.
John
Hi Alex
I would really like to get some help on setting up a reasonable website, to get the IM off the ground. It needs to be a reasonable cost and easy to maintain (nit asking much, am i ? lol)
Great to see you are having fun and travelling the world meeting up with fellow entrepeanuers.
Pete

Hi Alex
Wow what a great offer! I am new to this and keep reading about the success’s of other people I want to be one of those success but need a little guidence.
Looks like you had some fun visiting USA
Hey M8!
WTF? (Where’s The fortune?)
Looking forward as always to continued success.
My Best to you Alex, Katie, & Cameron-

Hi Alex
Its nice to see a fellow Cardiffian doing well. I have bought several ’schemes’ but can’t seem to get started due to information overload and I end up not knowing where to start. I have just ordered Ewen’s book, so while I await its arrival I am going to study some more info. everything seems to end up about selling more information that I know nothing about. How do I get started and have integrity. Planning out a path would be a great help.
All the best for the future Alex.
Nice to catch up in D.C Alex – Go Get em!
I’m pretty new in this, so any extra information that I can get for free is REALLY appreciated! Trying to start in a couple of niches and finding that time is the biggest factor – just finding the time to do the basics to get things going. Making enough to pay for the web sites, but that’s it – I think my niches will be profitable once I can get the traffic and have the systems in place, but it’s more challenge than I expected, so I’m hoping that these products will help me shortcut my methods a little. Thanks, Alex!
Hi, well first of I want to say what a great course it was. So much info, and you really did over deliver. I would have no problem in recomending your products to anyone.
As for where I am. Well I don’t have a list yet, but I am about to launch my first ebook, so I hope that will help. I think I will go through the whole course again because I know I didn’t take it all in. I will get there in the end because I want and need to.
Would like more information on outsourcing because I have no clue about the tech side of things.
Love to meet up some time.
Andy Beveridge
For me the biggest issues are:
- setting up pages to sell products; and
- getting traffic
Thanks
Andrew
Hey Alex
This is an fantastic offer…thanks! Niche market research and list building is two areas I would like info on. Thanks for your report in advance!!!!
Hi Alex,
Great to hear from you again.
I loved your course(even though the webinars were at 1:00am here in South Africa) but I got a bit left behind by not being able to set up a Merchant account with Paypal due to residing in South Africa.
I managed to get some info from Justin Harrison, as you suggested but due to financial constraints I’ve still not managed to open an overseas Bank account.
Be that as it may, I’ve just read a comment to your blog from James Woodfield (March 4th, 11:33am) and I whole heartedly agree with him, since I am one of the newbies that he is reffering to.
How can I, as a newbie, deliver the content in my blog and articles, and be seen to be “The Expert” when I probably now less than those who are reading my stuff?
I would love to know what your next Product is going to be, as I am sure it will be top notch stuff.
Thanks for everything and best of luck with your Million Dollar Year.
Pete Swanepoel
Hi Alex,
Very simple. Having a mentor to teach the art of being focused, prioritizing the important stuff, so that the job gets done when it needs to be done!
Thanks for the opportunity.
Hi Alex,
I’m not a newbie (making actually a good living on the net), but I like to tell you that I’ve really learned a lot from you, the free stuff and your Platinum membership.
My main business goal in 2009 is to launch my new online software (May) and get minimum 300 members until the end of the year. I’ll continue to follow you and the greatest for me would be your advice on how to create the greatest buzz about a new business management software or a launch in general. If you like to beta test it or anybody reading this post, please download this pdf with all details:
http://infobiz.info/Infobiz-Manager-Beta.pdf
Anyway, your post is great and I’m looking forward what you’ll come up with this time.
All the best, Juergen
Hi Alex,
I’ve been listening to some Success Magazine audios that my wife left in the car and Seth Godin was just one of the many wonderful speakers. They were discussing giving back to your fellow man if you want to be truly successful. I was wondering exactly how you use the “giving to your fellow man” in order to create a wealthy life for yourself. I’m a very giving person by nature, but it seems most often that people are willing to let you help them (my compliments to you for taking this step!) but rarley do they want to compensate you for that help!
So how have you worked this into your successful lifestyle?
Thank you for making yourself so available.
-Mark
I think some of the posts here have been very useful. It’s good to know that others are facing the same challenges that I am facing as a newbie in online marketing, affiliate marketing, etc.
I particularly was struck by the post by “Jim” which started with:
“All of the IM gurus barrage my e-mail inbox with their various solicitations and in the past year an escallation of “free gifts.”
It is so very easy to let all of that dissipate my focus.”
Like many others, my biggest challenge is to sift through a barrage of incoming offers for online education in this business. First I’ve had to get wise to which eCourses and eBooks were really mostly sales pitches for more expensive stuff.
Then, having found a few eCourses and eBooks that were what they claimed to be and contained sound information and advice about niches, technical stuff, and marketing, I now have to make sense of it all because no two of these “wealth” methods are exactly the same. What I ultimately decide to do has to be a combination of the best ideas drawn from several of the courses I’ve purchased.
Which leads to the current agenda: I think I have enough courseware in my possesion to keep me busy for quite a while. I have to lose the courseware junkie habit for a while and learn from what I have before allowing myself to be talked in to acquiring more just because it’s “free” or very cheap. (I do plan on having a look at your video, however.)
As to niches – all this stuff I have been reading and watching has led me to start focusing on things I find I have to write for purposes other than turning into e-product. I’m mostly trying to make myself aware as written work I do nears completion that some of these things have potential as online product if properly marketed and I start to think about how best to make that happen.
For example, for business purposes I have felt the need to write a fairly detailed briefing paper on an historical topic for a somewhat specialized audience – but one that might appeal to other audiences as well, just because people are curious about interesting history topics.
This has led me to think about the possibility of adapting this thing into a website that people can visit for free – but which contains a lot of affiliate links for books and videos related to the topics on each page. I have no idea how much I might make off this, but the additional cost in time and money for me, since I already have the “free” product almost finished anyway, is minimal.
And I am the one who will have copyright to it.
So what the H***!
So my next challenges will be all about establishing affiliate relationships with companies that can fulfill sales of the books and videos I want to sell on the site, viral marketing, using adwords ads effectively, etc. And doing the nuts and bolts things it takes to get a site up and running, ad links and all.
If this gives you any ideas regarding the kind of help people like me who are in the middle of the learning curve and feel overwhelmed by the quantity of courseware … that’s good.
Hope this helps.
Hi Alex
My biggest problems that i am having is traffic i am only getting a tricle every week,I have followed your instructions but hardly anything,I only have 4 people on my list and they are my family what can i do i am desperate to make this work.
I am changing my blog name from broncolee to marketing with george i think it sounds better dont you,I hope you can help.

Hi Alex
Thank you for revealing your planning system – I’ve been putting it in to practice and getting great results.
I look forward to hearing more from you.
Hi Alex
My biggest problem is finding time to do all that is required to build a successful online business. Thanks
Hey Alex,
I loved the Guru’s Dream, looking forward to the new product.
I’m about to use Traffic Geysers 10×4x4 marketing method so if you have any tips from Mike Koenigs on that I’d love to hear em!

Hey Alex, Jan here from EPA. No I haven’t fallen off the planet or anything, just busy as heck. I did follow your course and learned a lot. I went a little different direction and set up a niche store, now I’m building a blog around it. Guess I should contact Garry Parkes, he does a heck of a good blog. Wow I can’t believe how big Cameron is now. Give Katie & Cameron both a big hug my friend, Jan
Hi Alex
Just in the process of mapping out my golas prior to taking action and have been inspired by your success. Look forward to your next product.

Alex, Hi for the first time but not, I hope, the last. What bothers me in getting started is the actual manipulation of the info in the website and how connections are made between sets of info, links within and between websites.
Judging from what is out there to be learned this is the stuff that is so well-known that it is taken as a given by almost everybody. I want control over my stuff, linked stuff, all content I am involved with, largely because I want to dominate a small but most enthusiastic niche, classical violin music and all related subjects, such as how different schools of playing can be taught, how violins are kept up, and most of all, how to play healthy. Injuries form this occupation amateur or pro are extremely common. I have studied how to avoid and even relieve many of the and I want to make money from distributing the info worldwide.
Any help or references you can give would be very encouraging. I first got your name from Sally Neill, with great enthusiasm.
Thanks.
BJ Berman
Hi Alex,
Mate you’re due for a well deserved rest, although I doubt that going underground to do your planning for 2009 is going to be that much of a break!
My questions for you relate to developing JV partnerships.
Do you have a specific protocol you follow when trying to get JV partners to join you?
How should you go about approaching JV partners to join you?
How do you know what the JV partners want and what you should offer them?
What should you definitely NOT do when trying to attract JV partners?
Wow! that could turn into a whole separate series in itself!
HOpe the planning all goes well and you achieve your target for 2009!
Cheers,
Dean
Hey Alex,
It looks like your havng fun, and congratulations on
your success.
I’m having prolems with FOCUS and Distractions,
Traffic and Conversions.
What have you got that can help me?

Hi Alex.
I have to admit this is either plain lucky faint or I am destined to do well for myself and my family. Let me explain why I just said the above. I have been doing online internet marketing full-time from home for over a year now and I am making a reasonable living, that is keeping my home from being foreclosed on like so many Americans are going through with today’s economy.
One of the things I had done was to research and study to improve my skills. Anyhow at one point I also went through information overload and finally just set down and did the basics such as list building, blogging using social sites etc. Now today of all days I have been spending the entire day unsubscribing off of all the lists I has subscribed to over a year ago now, alright gotta admit most from two years ago as I did not see this as my priority. Anyhow while doing this I only kept on a small handful of lists who I felt that actually assisted me at something or another to make me succeed where many others fail.
Anyhow as I was unsubscribing from all these lists, and let me tell you I probably received over 250 emails a day which is what finally motivated me into spending an entire day to read every email I had and determine who I felt was worth keeping me on their list. I came across your email to me and prior to just deleting there was something about your email that made me investigate further. Well after reading everyone’s testimonials and them not being from other well know internet marketers (as I am fully aware how they work with each other) I now feel how genuine you are to helping others succeed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making a substantially living like yourself if you are earning it by actually helping people.
Well after all this I personally believe it was fate that I happened to be cleaning emails and not just deleting like I typically do. Therefore, had this opportunity to read about yourself and what your beliefs are (by the way I have strong family morals as well and it is obvious you do also by the pictures and explanation of your trip with the family)and I am privileged to be one of the lucky people under your mentor ship now.
Now my biggest question is (even though I have a decent list) what methods can I incorporate to build my list at a quicker pace, thereby, having more opportunities to earn a living. I do not want to JV with all these free giveaways to people as I find that you do not get quality students or customers but only quantity which I could care less about and I do not want to be lumped in with all these so called internet marketers and just taking peoples money and run so to speak.
I am looking for to seeing this new product of yours and being under your wing so to speak as I would also like to increase my earnings from 50K yearly to $250K yearly so I can upgrade so to speak in my life and families life.
Thanks again and my best regards,
Rich AKA Just A Regular Guy
Hi Alex, seems like you have had an amazing month, thanks for sharing it with us. Biggest problem is planning (and then sticking to the plan when I do devise one). Hope to be able to afford the coaching if you do it again.
Before I took Alex’s coaching course I was a struggling newbie. Like so many others I keep buying ebooks, software and everything in between. I was stuck in a rut and working long hard hours seven days a week. Then I had the good fortune to sign up for coaching from Alex. Right from the start I knew that this would be a very different experience. Alex really cares about his students and their success. He held back nothing when teaching us, and he was always there if you needed him. I really believe if it were not for Alex, I would have dropped out of Internet Marketing forever.
Now I am looking forward to following in Alex’s footsteps. His is truly a wonderful person.
Hi Alex,
Sounds like you’ve been very busy! Me too, slowly building my online business. Your coaching helped me to put a lot of the things I’d learned together, thanks! Also, a few of the other students have been extremely helpful.
I’d love to learn more about:
1) Traffic – mine has been building, but I would like to learn more about getting targeted traffic.
2) Getting Conversion rate up.
3) More marketint strategies (step by step would be great).
more TIME is also good if you can pull that off!(LOL) More hours in the day or more days in the week….
Thanks again,
Lori
Hi Alex
Just found you a week or so back and enjoy your emails. After a few years of wandering the internet in search of additional income, I guess I have become somewhat jaded with all the hype and nonsense.
I do find your candor and your zest for life very refreshing and look forward to any help you might offer.
I just turned the big 70 in January and sometimes struggle a bit with this technology, but it is fun.
Perhaps one day we will get a chance to compare notes on how to party.
Best regards–and keep on keeping on
Drew
p.s. What’s with all this OTO stuff lately? If the product is so great, why will I only see the page THIS ONE TIME? (Just a pet peeve)
Great stuff Alex thanks buddy..

Hi Alex,
Thanks for posting the photos and for the travel log. Definitely inspiring and helps me realize exactly why I want to focus on building a business on the internet and quit the 9-to-5-job-syndrome.
I definitely need help with listbuilding tactics and achieving sales. It’s easy to put stuff up on the net with PLR products, but trying to get people to buy what you sell is more of a challenge. I’ve definitely not connected all the dots to making my online business work yet. So I’m truly looking forward to your next product.
Keep up the great work and keep on inspiring!
Kind Regards,
Maria
Alex,
My biggest challenge in IM is finding a niche.
I believe this problem has cuased me to have a sour taste of IM and IMters.
Olivier
Newbie here.
Maybe something like “An Idiot’s Step by Step Guide to IM” would help someone like me.
Could you recommend something?
Hi Alex,
I can’t wait to seize this generous offer from you!

Hi Alex,
I am a lost newbie with too many Gurus selling their high price programs.
Right now, I am concentrating on affiliate marketing and my biggest problem is traffic.
I would love to hear some valuable advice from you.
Hi Alex,
All the best to everything. And thanks for the free stuffs. XD
Feiyie_.
Hey Alex!
I just want to say ‘Thank you!’ for all the valuable advice you have shared with me over the past year through your great products and amazing coaching program!
You really are an outstanding mentor. You’ve not only achieved some amazing results that really inspire your students (and I know what you’ve achieved so far is nothing compared to what you will do in the near future), but you are an excellent teacher and have given us some really powerful strategies and systems.
On top of all that, it is obvious that you care about your students and really want to see all of us become successful.
Thanks bro!
Jit
biggest challenge is staying hungry enough. My traditional biz is doing pretty well, lets me be lazy. How do you *want* enough? Frank Kern has come close to cracking that nut I think. Maybe you can shed some more light on it.
i think
I have overload I’ve read so much I don’t know where to start are who to believe
thanks
Mary
hey alex love all your stuff unfortunately i still am a newbie and do not know exactly what to do and as i watch my job and home disappear i still will try my best to succeed online and hopefully one day be able to see the results and actually learn from a marketer who will actually make a difference thanks for all your info……jerome
Hi Alex,
You are truly a gem. Thanks for all you share and do for us.
Still needing help with cash flow for 501(C)3 Non-Profit Org.
Stopping by to say hi from Texas. Thanks for all you do!
My thoughts on what I’d like to see in a product:
1) I have spent a small fortune over the past several years on Internet marketing products. Each product includes a piece of two of the puzzle. But there are so many missing pieces… I’d like to see a product that includes all the pieces — what needs to be done, step by step, in sequence, from selecting a niche to making money. Selecting or creating a product that will sell. Writing copy. PPC ads that will generate traffic. Getting a web site up (for nondesigners/nonprogrammers) — with traffic.. Payment systems. Download delivery systems. With detailed specifics including suggested suppliers, etc.
2) I’ve heard story after story from people who have spent a bundle on PPC advertising and never generated enough sales to pay for them. How do you avoid this?
3) There is a big emphasis on list building.Every time I buy or even read about a product, I get on a list. I have three folders stored on AOL named Read and Refile 1, Read and Refile 2, Read and Refile 3 — each with more than 5,000 emails that I’ve never read — and will never have time to read. I read maybe 2% of the emails I get, including some of the ones from Harris, Tellman, Yanik, Mike Filsame and Dan Kennedy, along with the occasional one that looks interesting.. Is there a better way than email marketing? If not, how do you get people who are bombarded by emails every day to read them?
Thanks…
Dave
My biggest issue has not been acquiring knowledge. I have a good idea of what to do, but I need to know how to set up a campaign that won’t bankrupt me before I see any sales. Pay-per-click is always touted as the quickest way to make profits. However, setting a $5 per day limit will not get you sufficient exposure, and setting a limit of $50 or $100 per day without sales (only clicks) could kill me. So, is there a solution?
Hi. Cash gifting a specific niche. Invested $500.00 end of Jan. 09. Received only 10 optins in 30 days. Did safe list marketing. I have almost a zero advertising budget. Need advertising help. How can I get large amounts of people to opt in and view the site? Many people are having great success with gifting. Would like to join their ranks. Please help. Are people afraid of gifting? Everything I have read says it is indeed legal. Thanks for your help and advice if this reply gets read or answered out of the thousands you will get. Warren
Hi Jeffrey. This blog site is great. A very nice way to communicate with the world. Family is so important. So many of us “older” citizens
had to spend sooo much time on the job, our families took periods of being in the back seat to a J O B. It’s nice to see you actually spend so much time with family. Believe me, it is very important to do it when the kids are young. 
Well, I’m a newbie to all this. As a retiree on disability, I really need to get into making extra money for these troubled times we live in. Since being on your list for such a long time, I do see you are making an income from your work & not a “guru” bilking people out of their hard earned money. Who knows how much I have spent & received mostly nothing for the expense.
Having said that, I do need help in knowing the “how to” of setting a site up to the internet. The use of whatever it takes to do so, such as cPanel, getting over to a host, using file zilla or an ftp method. My hard drive is full of “stuff” I received over the last couple of years, while trying to get some marketing going here on the net. Several are sites to put up, but, I have no idea how to do so.
Well, that’s all for now. Take care. Hope I can figure all this out. With some help from you, perhaps I can & will. Take care.
Best regards,
Jim
Dear Alex,
I will be in the 1% group. I will provide value and not just sell the dream. I will do whatever action is required to ethically make 6 figures online. By the end of this year I am determined to make $500 a day on the internet. I welcome any and all advice you can provide to guide me on my way. I am amazed that you are giving so much information away for free!
You rock!

Man when do you get the time to create these products. Yep I know you get a ah moment and then it’s a matter of outsourcing until it becomes a reality. Now that’s what we are all told to believe but I’m not about to spill the beans that things are not always what they seem.
Enjoy life to fullest – you deserve it.

HI alex, well how to get started, thats the real question, just how do we work out who are the sharks and who are for real.I have tried to make $ online quite a few times in the last 2 years but wow what crap and some of it from the so called gurus, there is always quite a bit of important detail left out.
please alex, just how do i make money on the internet without going broke buying more and more programs and subscriptions
Waz up!
I’m just wondering how to make my first dollar online! That’s all I want to know! I know that if I can make my first dollar than I can multiply that over and over again, What did you do to make your first dollar online?
Thanks,
Jeremiah
Hi Alex,
You’ve been a huge help in my learning process.
I hope you’ll keep passing along your powerful knowledge to me. I need all the help I can get.
Thanks Again,
Jamie
Hi, glad you enjoyed our States. I lived in England for a year some years ago, loved it.
I post ads on all kinds of sites but nothing pays off. I have trouble uploading my pix and special images I need for my ads. I do not have my own website except with my company and that is blah. I cannot afford to buy into anything so use free sites. I hope your material will help me.
LOve reading your stuff Alex!!!
Can’t wait to see what’s next.

As a 78 years young newbie, whis is PC illiterate (well almost) I need all the help I can get in forming a membership site for my own product built from 60 years experience offline.

Hi alex,
Here it goes:
1. Finding a niche market to make profits.
2. Where to purchase products at discount prices that are not junk.
3. Providing readers with the real deal start up cost for venturing into a business. 4. Referrals to reputable outsource companies overseas.
5. Seo research techniques and social media marketing, keyword research
I could go on and on and on….
Bottom line is the little people want to know the inside tricks on how the “Big Dogs” make money online. Inclusive with the costs.
P. S. I did purchase one of your products with videos; however, I had to many problems viewing the videos and I just gave up.
Your desire to help us little guys is commendable. Thanks for thinking about us.

Great pics,enough said.
Hi Alex,
First, I say thanks a lot for your help,this is my problem:
1. Finding NICHE, because I don’t know exactly how many ideal competitor and how many ideal searcher, so I can classify a topic become NICHE or NOT.
2. I want to know how to find the good content sources, so I can make a unique and useful content for my web / blog.
3. And I still confuse for social network marketing, do I must sign for many account for one social network marketing, lets say I had 25 site , so I must sign for squidoo 25 account, digg= 25 account and others like stumbleuppon, or twitter. Please tell me the truth..
4. How to build list building with great result?
Best Regards,

Alex i know you are the man with the plan and my plan is to meet you in person one day to say thank you for helping me with my plan,this should get a lot of people’s attention when you helped people to success in their business plan.Let the ball keep rolling making strikes while the others get in the gutter for not having a plan.
My question to you is this:
Which is more profitable, creating blogs, or mini web sites.
In the case of Adsense, I get very little action from my blog, and mostly the revenue comes from my web site.
I just finished adding a number of plugins, and an optin to my NMS Blog News, so I would appreciate your critique of my blog at http://www.niche-market-strategies.com and give me your expert opinion please.
Finding profitable niches is my problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Alex
You wanted to know how you can help me well what I need is a website. I have tried to set one up and I have even paid people to set one up for me and none of them have worked. I need a working website. I don’t know anything about this stuff but I keep trying to learn. I have yet to make my first dollar at this. I have spent plenty thou trying to learn. I went into debt for better than thiry thousand dollars trying to get a website and trying to learn this but so far I have gotten no where but into bankruptcy court.
Earlene
Alex, you’re a roll model. I try to copy you but can’t keep up with your “flight plan”! Keep it up, step by step is my style!
Ernie
Hello Alex,
Enjoyed the latest story of your journey.
For a year I’ve tried to setup and use the GetResponse Auto-Responder, yet have failed to master the basics in creating a campaign that works.
I’m going to go through the training Videos one more time and begin again to setup a working campaign, but would truly like to see a clear Video for the basic campaign setup from beginning and following through to getting a few letters written that generate double optin requests that build a genuine database of customers for my market.
I see others that are using GetResponse Autoresonder with success and it can be done.
Thanks for listening,

I think what I need help with the most is cheap traffic generation, and learning how to speed up the process of testing niches.
Looking forward to seeing what you are coming out with.
Hi Alex!
Your coaching course has been great.
I’ve certainly learn alot.
Now I am stucked on my blog. Could use more help in getting TRAFFIC to my blog.
Need more help to build up my list.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

HI Alex
You have my support

Hi Alex, looks super mate, cheers william
Hi Alex, I would like to be right beside you building your 1M dollar business. I would be honoured to be one of the chosen few to be selected and look forward to receiving your plan. I need to completely start a fresh and need to choose one person to follow instead of fragmenting myself, I have overspent on information and it’s time I got up and got going. It’s a great give back you are venturing upon and rewarding to see you have learned the importance of such a gesture at such a young age. Best wishes in achieving you goal. Lorraine Tooth
¡ Hello ! I think is great all you have done, for me it’s admirable. I just have problems to make a good plan and go for it, sometimes I’m lost in all the information there is. And I can’t get results, it will be very important for me to learn some things from you. Thank you.
Greetings Alex:
The technical stuff is the area that I work hard at mastering: adding video, audio, building website, tracking. Online is not my territory. The OFFLINE world is where my marketing expertise lies.
I’ve only read one of your products (the launch thingie) and to see that you’re not among those sitting on their rump wishing for gold. Plus, that report of yours was of high quality. I must confess, I was surprised. TOTALLY.
Why? B/c most of the ‘free’ stuff many online marketers give away to those opting into their list reeks of horse crap.
The material sucks. Sends you in circle chasing your tail like a dog. Which of course, is their aim so that you can dish out more money to them.
Yours? Hey, not bad. Impressed.
Great future ahead for ya and not only because
you are known by the ‘old boys network’ but b/c you really do care to produce good stuff like one of favorites: Jim Edwards of the NetReporter.

Alex,
I am an engineer and project manager by trade that is just learning about selling and marketing. I know how the web works and a lot more about the technical stuff but could use help with the non-technical things. I’ve been brainstorming for some time now trying to find something that will sell online. I use the worldwide brands site to check the probability of success for the ideas I come up with. I just don’t seem to be able to come up with something that will give me a good income. Can you give me some ideas on brainstorming and coming up with a product that will sell? That would be fantastic.
Thanks
Hello Alex,
I am having 2 problems, I think. One is please check your autoresponder or who ever sends out your emails , because I got 2 emails for this and I left a comment on the first one.
I am developing a Internet Marketing ebook and would like your permission to put a link in it for you ebusiness growth compass. If I remember right it is for my own use only without your permission, with your permission, I can give it away with my ebook. It works well with one of my beginning chapters.
You are right about when you get to where you are suppose to be and get stuck at the very last minute the answer will appear.
Things are falling into place now. All I need to do now is stay focused.
Thank You
John
My major thing right now is info overload. It’s a killer! So I just have a very few people right now mailing me..so that helps. My major issue lately is getting good targeted traffic to my sites. I would love to have a cheap and easy way to do that so that I don’t spend all my free time on the computer. For some reason, my family misses me. Also having a way to automate as many aspects of business as possible would be great. Looking forward to being able to take vacations with my family….
Hi Alex, you sure have been busy! My wish is for someone to show me how to install all those mini sites, adsense sites and ebook sales letters that are on my hard drive onto one of my domains as subdirectories. I’ve been online for 20 months and never had that particular question answered (and it has been asked!)
Continue to have fun and spend your life with those you love.
Kathy
Thank you for the information.
Hi Alex,
Enjoyed your post. You really know how to have a good time.
Been doing quite well on line except that I realize that there’s a bit of copying off our online strategies and ideas THOUGH OURS REALLY AREN’T THAT GREAT… well, that can be a compliment, can’t it?
Been trying to get ourselves higher page ranks lately but with little success. Anyways, in the process, I discovered that page ranks doesn’t mean as much as some claim they do. I found that out when I type a niche keyword and I can find some sites with high page rank on the second, third and fourth pages. And guess what, some of those sites that came in front actually had PR 1 or O. Have i concluded correctly?
Also, besides GREAT CONTENT, Alex, can you show us what else really works?
I need all the help I can get to drive people to web site.
Alex,
If this site is SEO’d, along with the accompanying blog(s) to the point of making sales, there is over 1 million dollars in it for YOU…for 1 year.
Yours Truly,
LR
I want to break the code for making money with articles. I have written a lot of articles and got a lot of traffic to the targeted sites but I haven’t seen sales happen. What could I be doing wrong?
Thank you Alex for staying in touch with me in the past. See your doing well and your family to. Nice seeing you here and you will see a picture of me to if I get excepted by you for you to be my mentor, or teacher in making money on the internet and doing the right things, and I would love to help other people do the same. For if I can make money on the net I know most people should be able to also.
Hi I spent a furtune getting my web sight but I cant seem to get trafic to it ,I dont have much money so cant afford to splurge,any more Ive lost so much trying to get lists ,but i dont know enough to link it all to gether,I dont understand Add Words,Key words etc,Ive had my sight for 18 months now and havent got a cent back .Do you think you can help me to jump start my selling.I do hope so.
Thanking you for your time

Well, Alex, you ARE a mover and shaker, aren’t you!!
One thing we all need more of is… TRAFFIC. So let us know the best guru tricks and techniques for fast free traffic, if you would.
Thanks

Hi Alex,
Looks like you’ve been busy.
How do you find the time?
Looking forward to your next report.
Hi Alex,
am I missing something here? Posted a comment a couple of days ago but didn’t seem to get access to the freebies. Anyone lese had this difficulty?
Hi Alex! I am new at this, so any help would be great!! Enjoyed your pics and stories of your travels…Take care of yourself and your family….
Shirley
Hi Alex,
same thing again, submitted the comment and then up pops the leave areply box again. Am I doing something wrong?
My biggest problem is getting traffic,
without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.
Alex,
Got a plan (and processes) but my question or biggest need is moving to the next level.
I made my first dollar (in fact, my first $1,000) on the first day of my first real promotion and have grown to be able to get a steady income but I feel stuck and want to know what to do to take it up a notch or three.
Maybe patience is all I need but that is my biggest frustration and need.
Glad to hear you’ve been doing so well and “living the life!”
David
Hi Alex,
Brilliant work mate!! I am a F500 member, and am still digesting most of your course. I’ve decided I do not want to go into mainstream Internet Marketing, but want to use the skills I learnt on your course to market and develop my career-creative coaching business, ZestWare (www.zestware.com).
Let me know when you’re in South Africa. I’m in Cape Town, and would like to meet you in person at a more decent hour
– rather than 1:00AM-4:00AM like we did on the webinars.
Regards and all the best

Hi Alex,
All of us here in the office are trying to get
started and it seems the more we learn the less
we can get anything to the completion line. Our
main problem seems to be learning how to make all
the software work to get things done. Then to
understand how to do the traffic part of the
programs. Then it all just gets to overwhelm us.
Thanks for the help. Health issues with a couple
of us has put a time strain on the office and
time to work on our project so we could not keep
up and get things accomplished.
Thanks for your work and efforts,
BettyR and gang
Alex,
Looks great and you certainly have stimulated my interest.
Definitely looking forward to your big surprise.
So many of us need it all. Show us the big picture and break it into small chunks for learning. Manageable, understandable, doable, affordable chunks. A system with learnable steps and easy to recognize when you make some progress. I don’t need nine ways, I need one or two that work in conjunction with one or two more that work and increase the momentum. Let me see some results from my actions!
Hi Alex, I tried to post a few days back but your blog just would not let me post to it. Looks like you had a good time on your trip, and with some of your mates. Thanks for the coaching class I sure got a lot from your coaching, Thanks for opening my eyes and for making me take action still moving forward to basic. I can’t wait to see your new product; all of your products are good and full of good info. I am sure to get a lot of gold nuggets from them. Love the purple shades that you and Cameron are wearing should fit right in at Las Vegas can’t wait for that trip, let’s get a beer. Thanks for the coaching class and I am looking forward to the extra stuff you have planned for the coaching. To my mentor love ya man, And Thanks for all the time you have shared with us. Talk to you later. Take care Cheers
P.S would Katie be called mate, do you call women mates as well?

Hi there!
Well, I am creative, artisitc, writer and make my own products. My problem is traffic and writing convincing sales page. I suck at selling! I really need help.

Hey Alex,
Man you do need to slow down.
How about a report on list building 101 (including how you can go about building a relationship with your list as most reports simply don’t cover this.)
roy
I have been following Alex Jeffrey for a long time – since his eBook – Post Launch Profits. And I was simple overwhelmed by the ton of honest information put up in that book, it was just an eye-opener and it showed me so many opportunities which I could not see earlier!
Thank Alex.
Hi Alex.
Thank’s for the cheering up you give me. I’m jealous of your Travels and your Young age.
Good for you – make the most of your life and enjoy it while you can – it dosn’t last long!
My IM drawbacks are Procrastination and Wandering
off (Thru other links and forgetting how you got there in the first place!).
Take care and have a Great future.
John.
Your lifestyle is all the encouragement I need to take another look at IM
Hey Alex
Iv been implementing a lot off tips from you and other guys And finally reached number 3-4 double listing for a product launch. I had what I thought was a good bonus to give away. Any way every one goes on about page 1 of google yet, I did all the work got there And not one sale on launch day. The JV Was from JV notify. Any Tips on where I am going wrong would be a great help. The Product launch by the way was Private Niche Empire
Cheers Alex
Stewy From Liverpool
i’m a newbie too
thanks for created this website.. it’s really help alot.
Alex,
My biggest challenge in IM is effective Traffic.
I believe this problem has cuased me to have a uneasy taste of IM and IMters.
Cheers!
Hey Alex
I am a newbie as well and I have felt lately that I do need help. You see, I have no one to guide me and in my family, friends or anyone I know, are not interested on internet marketing. So it is pretty hard to carry on, mostly because I have nobody to ask for help or just to talk about marketing. Thing that is so unacceptable for me, is that nobody even believe it is possible to make money online. So it is my goal to prove they are wrong. I have done my own website with PLR articles, cause I am not so good at word setting yet, but I do need a plan, what do to next and get some traffic, so That I could do some selling. I even have made my first sales letter, but seems, that my product or that letter is not so good, because I have made only 1 sale. I have to say, that this is my first time if I am asking for anybody´s help so far. I am sorry for my language, I live in estonia (europe)and english is not my mother language
Thanks for listening me!
Warm regards
Inga
Hello Alex
Your mentoring really helped me focus more clearly on where I want to go. I still stray and click on all those seductive offers – and F500 are doing a lot of that to me as well!!
I’ve now got a list of 600 through my free products – but the buggers won’t buy anything! A lot of them won’t even open my emails to them.
So, that’s the main thing I need help with now.
How to get the freebie seekers to open my emails and then buy something.
Best Wishes
Joe Green
P.S. I notice a lot of the links above commenters messages here are missing .com or .co.uk
Petra – I’m in Social Services too so wanted to see your web page.

Hello Alex
It’s great to see all of the photos of your travels which is where I’d like to be in a few years.
I’ve just recently started working online in 2008 and I’m looking more towards retirement than anything. I want to be able to do what I want, when I want.
I started online thinking that sales were the way to go but found out that without your own list it’s hard to do anything.
I’ve joined quite afew Giveaway events and have a decent list for the time I’ve been online and am still growing.
My next step was to get into the advertising aspect of online marketing which is the direction I’ve been going the last couple of months. I own all sorts of advertising venues because everyone still needs to advertise whether they have a list or not.
I’m only 40 so I think that retiring with a nice nest egg is something I can certainly achieve over the next 20 years.
I’m looking forward to hearing more from you and learning as much as I can.
For now I’ll continue what I’m doing and hope that success finds me the way it found you.
Take care and all the best.
Vince
Hi Alex,
I want to have a quick start, trust worthy program that gives me the technical tools(software),training for lists, niches and product development outside IM, marketing delivery and sales etc for a reasonable price. Also want best howto for complimentary blogging.

aisha
Hi Alex,
You have done it again, giving value to your readers. I would have loved to join you in London but some how I missed. Please let me or your students know if you happen to visit London again.
Take care
Jey
I need to know:-
what you want to learn ?
If it is really possible to make decent money outside of the IM market? I work hard in various niches, outsource, provide good content, get decent traffic and still make maybe one or 2 sales per month.
and more importantly
what can i do for you ?
Not sure, you tell me, it seems to me your experience is purely in the Internet Marketing niche, maybe you do operate outside IM
where you are stuck ?
traffic, conversion, doing stuff like this instead of working so focus!
what do you feel is getting in your way ?
Internet Marketers! products telling me various ways to be successful whilst serving only to distract me, do you think anyone will actually provide the real deal?
what makes you mad online ?
Internet marketing marketiers. A bigger group of snake oil salesmen i have never come across in my life, and I have worked with some real low life offline but none come close to the blatant crap spouted by some of your cohorts.
As i have been following you from the beginning i am hoping you are the exception
hope you prove me right
All the best to you and your family
Alex,
I am excited to get your report. Planning is very important in anything but they say having a system or strategy is even better. I hope that you will include a system within the planning.
Thank you.
Susan
Hi Alex,#
I think it is important that you mention planning, even in the early days of anyones’ experience online.People can think one product when in reality they need to think about what will lead on from that.
Through no fault of their own they have been in some cases sold a pile of b.s or given insufficient information such as the very topic you talk about.
If people wish to pursue an online biz marketing products then they need understanding and fundamental skills such as planning – maybe something they have never done before.
This for many means creating your own product or acquiring a good one with restricted rights and not some free for all master resell cheapo garbage.
Leave aside the affiliate marketing thing until you understand the techniques the big people use.
In the end they sell something you have not thought about.
They sell themselves.
THEMSELVES and their inside knowledge. They sell that to you whatever else they sell for anyone.
Then, you keep adding other products of similar theme. Its at times slow and seems hard if you have a day job – but no one else pays your bills when they come through the door.
You need a gameplan before you need to know list building or a ton of other things, otherwise you will be like a spinning wheel with no traction.
Hi Alex,
I’m a newbie to all the IM stuff & would just like to know how to get something profitable up & running at the moment.
I would love to be able to enjoy the things that you have experienced on your “vacation”
Cheers, Steve
A man with all those supportive comments must be doing something right.The truth is you have earned your success, and its nice to see a great guy hit the bigtime. Keep up the good work Alec.
Something on listbuilding would help
All that sounds great. I would be happy for any help you can give me but I need to get some profits going this month please
Something on listbuilding would help.
[sorry - wrong email on previous comment]
Thanks for all the brilliant FREE info/content to help me and all us newbies in IM, it’s really appreciated, keep it up and good luck! I need to know more about list building and out sourcing.
Another newbie.
Step by step would be great. I’ve been reading & reading but it seems that the more I read the less I understand!!
Where to start? How to start? And with minimal expense too!
Margaret
Amazing! You’re sitting with some “big dogs” there… I actually can’t wait to see the video.
Wow, you sure know how to get a lot of comments on your blog.
I wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done through the coaching program. The planning/business module 1 really opened my eyes, and the whole social media thing was fairly new to me as well.
As for a new product, well my stumbling block so far has been deciding on a niche (I could just stick with IM), and getting consistent traffic – not just short bursts of it.
Thanks again
Ed
Oh my god ! Help me make sense out of the internet market PLEASE!! BRING IT!!!!!!
Where is the product how will it help in my MLM business, thatI intend to take it to the realm of the net, BTW I am from Malaysia, Thank You
Hi
I notice that a lot of your comments are from newbies – well I’m another one. It seems that there are a lot of newbies out there who are really serious about making a living online but unfortunately there are also a lot of scams out there too who just want to take advantage of our lack of knowledge. I’m determined to beat these scams and find a legit program that works. And you know what keeps me going even though I”ve been scammed – my children and family. I sooo want to give them a better life AND I WILL.
HI Alex —
I have responded twice to this – I wonder why you are not receiving it. Anyway -You are a great example of living life fully and in your joy. Thank you .
Gwen
Alex
You know what I think of you mate…..because of you the ‘penny dropped’. You have made it possible for me to see through the smoke and see that you CAN sell ethically on the Internet and that you don’t need a house in 4 major cities to be taken seriously…..
Now I just need to get my product together – but thanks to you that is being planned properly.
So do I need anything else from you that you did not cover in your excellent coaching? I am so busy going through that AGAIN that I don’t have time for anything else…and that is a good thing – no more running around ‘headless chicken’ style.
Thanks Alex – and may the force be with you
Congratulations on your success Alex. You deserve it after all the effort you have put in.
What Is needed is a Step-By-Step System for Newbies that does NOT give them step 2 until they verify to you that they have completed Step 1. Then does NOT give them Step 3 until they verify to you that they have completed Step 3…
…etc..etc. That way Success must surely be Gaurenteed…Voila Alex Becomes A Hero..!!!!!
Hi Alex,
Grateful for all you’ve helped me with, for your well-deserved getaway, and for your including me in this opp. to obtain your latest product!…thank you again immensely.
What I’d like to learn?
Creating my membership site with low or no cost methods, as well as creating an affiliate program for my products (again w/little or no cost) without needing to create seperate pages and then passwords for affiliates to track their results.
What Can I Do For You?
Assist in any way you are able to with the areas that I’m responding to your questions with my answers.
Where am I stuck?
Time management. Even though doing this Full Time, have no staff, but possibly my daughter soon.
what do you feel is getting in your way ?
Not setting regular un-interuppted business hours, and stretching myself thin with too many sites/sections, e-mails, etc.
what makes you mad online ?
The marketers and spammers that give IM a bad reputation and providing to many bad experiences for those who want to either purchase or make money online.
Again Alex, sincere gratitude for all, and will support you in any way possibe.
Sincerely,
Richard
Would love to have some help in my projects.
Hi Alex,
My biggest challenge is finding a profitable niche and drive traffic to it.
Enjoy your time and all the best.
First off, thank you for being the real deal and actually caring about your students. So many marketers seem to flood my inbox pimping the same latest greatest offers without providing any value in their emails to me.
Sure I realize that they are in business to make money, but I would like to get more out of the relationship then being someones cash cow.
Your idea of providing value is so refreshing compared to these other marketers.
My question is how do you go about developing a unique identity and stand out in the crowd rather than being just another IM wannabe clone.
I’m looking forward to sharing the journey with you into the future.
P.S. please let us have continued access to the course material online as I am sure many of us are returning to it in order to digest it properly.
Cheers
Hi Alex
You want honesty and I shall try and provide that! Unlike many others online I have overcome a lot of the technical stuff.
1.So I can use aweber, load a auto responder etc
2.I built my own opt-in template product
3.I have taken PLR products and created my own variation with graphics.
4. I have my own affiliate scheme offering 50% to 100% commissions and provide marketing tools for each product
5. I have built my own blog that I use for my hub
6. I have published well over 100 articles, can build squidoo lenses, hub pages, blogger blogs and much more
7. I have used Free Giveaway events to build subscribers
8. I have also built and used squeeze and landing pages for affiliate offers
OK I list this to show that I have a lot of the basic understanding required, I think!
So what do I think I’m missing, and where have I made mistakes.
The first major mistake is allowing myself to get distracted by too many product offers, certainly true in the past more than now.
The second aligns itself with the first, don’t get caught in believing that you can build massive success in a matter of days. Although on occasions I have seen some one come from nowhere, this is not the norm.
So here is my major online problems:
Whether I’ve been promoting affiliate offers or my own products I cannot get my piece of the traffic pie in sufficient numbers. This is even when I have secured good seo position, ie the first to fifth position on Googles 1st page.
When using Giveaways I have seemed to fail to build the relationship you need to convert them from freebie giveaway seekers to buyers.
I’m using MRR and PLR to build a targeted list of customers who are just wanting tutorial type products for instance, and others who are interested in rights. My model is designed to heavily use affiliates to broaden the exposure of my offers and help build my list.
To assist in this I have an affiliate scheme that can be seen here: Digital Online Profits Within the members area there are multiple products including lead generators that pay out 100% commissions. My main issue is the recruiting of affiliates, although I am listed in a number of directories and have submitted a post on the warrior forum.
Sorry if I’ve gone on a bit, but a lack of traffic to my sites by what ever means I try is killing my chances.
Lastly, I know that you plan and set goals, that becomes a little bit easier when you have a success that you can start planning and setting goals around.
Kind Regards
Chris
Wow! I never thought such dedication could pay off so soon. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge in your product launches, as well as your own personal life story too. I think it’s time for me to concentrate a lot harder because I think it’s a matter of getting rid of distractions and just getting on with the marketing.
I’m currently trying to help my husband promote his new full color book on Abraham Lincoln (Color of Lincoln) and although I am good at SEO and we’ve made some sales, sales conversions can be tricky during an economic downturn. Perhaps you have some suggestions
Hi there,
Great post, and interesting comments too.
My own interest is in affiliate marketing: I don’t
consider myself an expert in anything enough to write
my own product!
I can make a landing page, and use Adwords to build
a list with Aweber, but the problem I’ve found is
that the list only wants the freebies and does not seem
to respond to the affiliate offers, nor subsequent mailings: frustrating!
So, getting free organic traffic, either to a landing page,
or direct to an affiliate link, would be the sort of
skill I would like to ask for …..
All the Best to you all
Brian
Hello again Alex
Love to receive your emails. For some reason I missed downloading your “how to” videos re List building so if you will have them again shortly I will certainly download them this time !!
Thanks to you I am at last into planning and have already made a good start listing goals, tasks and income. I agree with you completely about failing to plan is planning to fail.
Also agree about those gurus who bombard us with endless offers and now I just delete them, mostly unread, unless they have value in the headlines.
Thanks again for your efforts which are so appreciated.
John Davies
Hi Alex
I imagine (because I’m not a student of yours) the biggest thing you help give to your coaching students is belief.
I’d say there is plenty of information out there on a thousand ways ‘how to’ succeed in IM. Most people still won’t succeed.
Partly, that’s focus, but we need to ask why people can’t focus. It’s not just distractions, either, because we could all ignore our emails, turn off the tv and find a quiet space. If we want to.
For most people (those who don’t succeed) there’s some part of themselves saying not ‘I can’t', but ‘I shouldn’t’. Because getting paid well is wrong, because they don’t deserve it, because wealth is a burden.
When they not only know how but also believe they should, that they’re entitled, that wealth can do great things, they will magically find that they can.
That belief comes from mixing with people like you who never question it. I think that part of your selection process amounted to finding the people ‘most likely to benefit’. In other words, those who believe they should.
Getting your mind right is 80% of success. The rest is just mechanics, to quote Mark Anastasi.
I’ll be intrigued to see this new product of yours!
Keep flying
Roy
Hi Alex!
I would really like to know more about the organization of your projects, how do you create global plans and how exactly you transform them to monthly, weakly, daily TODO lists.
… and thank you for the great training!
Jozef
what you want to learn ?
I want to learn how to use the skills I have (webdesigner, artist and creator of the Steps System) to succeed online.
and more importantly what can i do for you ?
Any ideas on how to generate plenty of interest/ traffic to my site/s and to maintain a great rapport with customer base.
where you are stuck ?
I cant seem to get the people to my site, I’ve tried network/ community sites but there are just so many people on there that are dubious about online businesses.
what do you feel is getting in your way ?
Again, the lack of traffic to my site, I used to sell on eBay and did VERY well from it but now I want to move up to the bigs. Just cant get the traffic I need…
what makes you mad online ?
I feel like a parrot ha ha; as above, it’s annoying that I KNOW my system works and it’s so simple to follow etc etc etc that hundreds of people have benefited from it but I can’t get enough people to my site to see it.
Any advice you give I know will be like gold dust so PLEASE HELP!
Danny
Alex,
I must say that I am so impressed, and you are a living example of giving your all to help your readers. Keep up the great work.
Yours,
Boruch R.
Hello Alex!
Where do I start?
First off thanks for sharing your experiences. It was an interesting read. Yep, I read it all. At first I thought you’d been on the sherbert then I realised you were high on enthusiasm, i.e. THE PLAN!
For that, you get another thank you. I was beginning to flag under the weight of so may online money making opportunities and your message gave me the lift I needed.
So, you ask how you can help me. Well, I’ve got a five year plan and that now includes you and your expertise.
I don’t have any dough as I am stuck with property I can’t sell and no job. I would like to know how to build an online business on nothing. As the business earns then I can invest in the great marketing tools I need to make big money.
For someone like me, and I guess there are a few around now, I thought that it would be fantastic if somehow I was able to get a website, hosting autoresponder etc for 12 months FREE. Sounds crazy I know, however, If making the money through a structured training course through your business, the newbie on a freebie can then pay back the free 12 month usage.
If it doesn’t work and they leave the programme, they pay back what is owed.
You would probably have the leverage to negotiate with service suppliers etc. Just a thought.
All the best with the plan and look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Cheers
Ron
Hi Alex,
As I’m unable to afford anything (out of work, huge debts!) I’d like to find someone to mentor me or indeed even an accountability partner! to help me make my first money online.
I’m sure that you know that one of the best ways to learn is by teaching! So… with that in mind how about encouraging or (creating something) where all of your personal students, get to take on a beginner (someone who has not made money yet) to coach! A sort of student coaching program?
Well its just an idea, I may have my own financial challenges right now but I’m an experienced coach/mentor myself so can offer you any help in organising it or ideas if needed.
What do you think?
Thanks for reading this.
Kind regards
Alan
Hi Alex,
Thanks for sharing your great travels with us. I’m jealous!
I have always found your products to be straight-forward and helpful. And, most importantly, you seem like a “real” person who cares about helping others. So, thank you, because i get tired of just being sold stuff that decreases rather than increases my bank account. And thanks for admitting you haven’t done the planning you planned to do! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one that isn’t perfect.
What can you help with? Well, as always, TRAFFIC. What are the best, most effective traffic generation methods? There are so many to chose from I don’t even know where to start some days.
The other thing is product creation. Any tips on how to create a quality product without spending a year doing it would be appreciated. Should it be downloadable? A physical book? An audio or CD?
Thanks!
Hi! I guess You know my story.
I still haven’t made money and spent lots of it.
Now I’m not buying anything else. I’ll try to make it with what I already have.
I would like to be helped on email marketing!
And how to overcome technical hurdles. Simple stuff like how to “make” the page for the customers who buy something from me or how to “make” a downloadable link. Right now it’s like magic for me. but outsorcing seems to be too expensive!
I’m almost finishing a product.
Thanks!
Hi Alex,
Enjoyed reading your post and looking at all the pics about your adventurous journey….great stuff!
What I’m having trouble with is overcoming information overload. I try to make plans but I always get side-tracked. What’s the best way to overcome this problem and focus on the tasks at hand?
Appreciate all you do,
Robert
I’m on your list, because your approach to IM, seems more like the way many of us here would like to go about it – without bluffing / cheating / taking people for a ride / making people feel stupid and dumb / taking mean advantage of people’s ignorance, or their lack of knowledge and experience in all the tricks and deceipts in online marketing, because there’s so little, that most people starting-out can really do, (except as mentioned in the P.S. below), when the so-called gurus (well-known names) have no shame whatsoever in fooling people outright, to collect even small measly payments in deceiptful ways, since it’s not even easy for most people to either get to them or to prove how they scammed and cheated – thousands would attest to this, if only there was some way a bold and clever IM marketer could help out to bring such “gurus” to book, instead of protecting and patronizing them, while victimizing the innocent.
There, are at the same time, also quite a few very good and giving “experts”, as so many above have happily and honestly attested to, for YOU – ALEX JEFFREYS
what you want to learn ?
where you are stuck ?
what do you feel is getting in your way ?
How does one go about deciding which approach in IM can work best for him/her considering various important factors which would be applicable for success for a particular approach – because not everyone can succeed in anything and everything, as most of the gurus seem to make you believe – that you have to do nothing and you need nothing to succeed – and ANYONE CAN DO IT
and more importantly what can i do for you ?
Tell us in what small ways we could help you with what you need to do, using the skills and experience we have, and be rewarded by getting your help on the things which may not be so easy for us, to succeed in IM, one step at a time, because it’s so overwhelming for most people, till they can actually see how some of those things can be done, for real
what makes you mad online ?
the intro says it all – sorry but it’s become all too common and it’s really difficult for most people to figure out who can be trusted – but there’s a zillion phrases quite commonly and routinely used in the sales copy of such marketers, which would easily reveal this
Hope that more or less sums up what most people here feel and face, except ofcourse the ones who were perhaps smarter or luckier than many of us.
Wishing you all the Best and looking forward to being lucky to be mentored by you.
Thanking you,
Sohrab
P.S. I wonder how many people are aware that there are a few ways for people to voice their complaints about so-called “IM gurus” who have played dirty and are still playing dirty – but probably it should not be mentioned here. Just look up Google with the name of the guru and his campaign, adding the word “scam”. For every one such complaint there would probably be another hundred who just suffered without complaining, because it’s so difficult and you end up spending so much time and energy, and you are hurt so bad.
You are awsome, I would like your product for free since I wouldn’t be able to afford it if you charged for it.
Thanks
Emmanuel
From my experience useful topics would include:
Geting started – overcoming the fear of failure which stops most people from ever getting going
Planning & prioritising
The importance of completing & staying on course to reach your goals
Avoiding information overload – there is so much info out there for people to get their hands on that they drown in a sea of ebooks, videos, programmes etc. and get confused about what to do
Hey Alex,
I think the biggest problem I can think of is how to effectively monetize a website. I think also finding buying keywords presents a bit of a problem for some niches.
I think Maria Belizario put it quite well.
Hi Alex:
Last night, I was haunted by a ghost,
He said his name was Mediocrity.
And he showed me,
What my life would be,
If I never dared to dream…
Thanks, for a great course. I think what I gained most was the understanding of how to keep your head in the clouds, but you’re feet on the ground. I can dream of where I want to be, but now I actually have a map of how to get there.
Just gotta keep that compass pointed at “due success”…
Denis from “The Portal”
Can’t wait to see what you have in store. Most everyone is tired of the hype and go nowhere information out there on the internet.
How about sharing detailed info on how a person can create an income online step by step using a free webpage with free hosting or blog, free autoresponder,etc and the content to add into these free tools. Buying a hosting, domain name, autoresponder for many is an expense they might not have if they are currently out of work…so lets help them start entirely free and then after success teach on buying a domain name, web hosting and so forth.
I have been like most newbies, jumping here and there but finally trying to focus on ONE something; getting a site to it doesn’t look like a newbie is at work; then again, maybe that isn’t such a bad idea? might give another newbie some hope in this industry? who knows? Anyway, thanks for the great info and for helping us “newbies” learn. Take care in your travels and God bless.
Alex,
Thanks for the post and the look into your world – impressive. Almost as impressive as the comments that have been posted here. I look forward to your next product and working with you and your followers. There is a great synergy of talent here – let’s put that to work and we can all earn that million this year.
Bret
I do not have a website yet. I have been involved in online programs in the past and been taking to the bank and lost a lot! So I am very leary when someone says they can make alot of money with very little work. I do not know who to believe on the internet and who’s the next scam down the line. I am NOT saying you are a scam, I’m just very leary. SO I need to know how you can help me make money without having to talk people into something in today’s economy which is the worst since the depression. Tell me what you can do, how it can help me, what I have to do with a limited amount of time.
Thank you,
Mary
Thanks Alex, I’m green with envy….but there’s a touch of red in there too.
KWIM?.
What I’d like some help with is…how do I tie all this stuff together? Here’s what I mean:
I got megs of products and plr sites, reports ebooks etc on my HD. I have many product pages already online but I don’t know how to get trafffic to all of them.
Does one run a PPC campaign for each product? Do I put a number of related products in one site or use a rotator so that one product shows each time the page loads?
Honestly Alex, with all the email lists I belong to, probably everyone you mentioned in your post, and you guys all offer so much that it just seems impossible to get a directed focus of where to go (sometimes I can’t get out of my inbox
And the giveaways…I love the giveaways but wind up with so much stuff…the same products with different names or in different pkgs.
And you know what Alex, I bet I’m not the only one!
Maybe you could touch on overload!!!! in your next project.
Looking forward to it.
i need plug n play money making system
I would be interested in anything for generating traffic.
Best wishes

I need help with getting started. I have purchased a few courses, but they don’t start at the beginning. I don’t have a website, I don’t have a list, I don’t have a product or niche. The biggest thing holding back everything else is what to sell? and in what niche? I’m not an expert in anything and don’t get along too well with computers, so I need help with everything. No money to buy coaching sessions, either. HELP!
Alex
Although having spent quite a bit of time and money on IM i still have difficulty in finding niches and list building. Any advise on these subjects would be appreciated
Thanks
Tom.
Hi Alex
Thanks for all you presented in your coaching program..I’m slowly getting things together to meet my goals for 2009..
Looking forward to the trip to Vegas!!!
Getting more traffic seems to be my biggest obstacle right now…
Take care and get some rest!!!
Lea
Alex,
I am looking foward to your new product! I have been quite busy using the skills I learned in the coaching session. In some instances I am making positive progress and in others I am “failing foward”. I am, none the less, putting my plan into action.
Ken
Ive been watching you ( I mean yur vids ) since your laid down your 2008 plans, by which I was well impressed, but Ive never had the money to buy into your coaching. Having listented and watched I also have a great idea for an IM niche, but would welcome some input from you. I feel fully qualified to at least commence a blog and launch a product, but being a total noobie, would not know where to start.
Love watching your videos (being a Brit I sort of feel like i know you already) and have seen a couple of blogs from your students and only found them through emails. Seems like your doing a great job and i would welcome some input to my ideas.
Keep it up boyo and enjoy the r&r while you can.
All the best
Denise
Hi Alex…
Sounds like you had a blast and it is great to see you having fun with your family. Enjoy them.
I would like to know how to manage the work load. With all involved it takes time to get it done. What is your system, time frames, do you outsource and if so how do you manage them.
I think you understand what I am asking. I look forward to hearing from you again.
Joe…
Hi Alex,
Thanks for all the great help as my mentor. Looking forward to the extended my coaching sessions with you after your deserved underground rest.

I am one of the many aspiring entrepeneurs that is always looking for help, I have a website not doing anything, what I really is a very simple way of getting traffic to my wesite
I am one of the many aspiring entrepeneurs that is always looking for help, I have a website not doing anything, what I really need is a very simple way of getting traffic to my website, to just get some sales to get on the road, once I have a few sales, I think everything else will just follow on.I would appreciate any help you could give me.
I have very very limited funds.
I am about to launch my site and I need someones opinion of it. I also need to get advertizing help, no money.
Hi Alex,
I still need help with:
giveaways,
what to write in the autoresponders and how often
what to focus on for creating a product
Actually, my husband is interested in a health product now because of his own health issues. I’m going to spend a couple of weeks creating a new blog and sites for him/us. It’s really exciting to get to work with my husband on something I’ve been studying for a while. He’s always been supportive of my efforts to build an online business and now he get’s to see what it’s all about.
Thanks for all our help,
Theresa
I’m just beginning… dipping my big toe. And there seems to be so many possibilities ! I see that you are a very successful man since you do something you enjoy and you have time and quality experiences with your loved ones. I am sure intrigued by the way to achieve these. Thank you for your generosity and for the story.
As Calvin and Hobbes said :
Days are just packed !
My best,
Alain
Hi Alex.
When I first started your mentoring course I was a complete NEWBIE.I hadn’t a clue about building websites, autoresponders, list building or anything to do with online business.
I must admit that at times I fell a wee bit behind, not because of your teaching, but because of my lack of understanding.
That aside, I enjoyed the learning process and I realise that this is just the beginning of the beginning.
What did impress me more than anything, was not your undoubted skill, but your honesty and integrity and your willingness to go that extra mile for all your trainees.
Because of the manner in which you conducted your course, I feel that I know and trust you.
Thanks so much for getting me started, bit by bit I’m getting there.
Good luck for the future, Brian.

Hi Jeffereys & Alex,
I am yet to start my online business and i have 3 Simple questions:-
1. Which Internet Business has the highest Potential?
2. What all I need to do and in what order?
3. What are the tools required (minimum) & how much investment will it take (Maximum)?
I will be forever Grateful to you for your help,
Love & Regards,

I have followed your stellar career.
What I need is a simple blueprint of the core steps. There are just so many ways to go its over whelming. The excuses are multiples of the options to start and never finish task list.
Looking forward to your insights.
Steve
Hi, Alex,
Yes i would like some help.
I have great dificulty finding niches, what’s the secret, once you have your niche you can start to build the list.
There are lots of stuff out there for list building,but how do you go about finding the niche markets. It is a stuggle for internet newbies.
cheers buddy,
Peter.
hi,
i think some of these marketers will say anything to make a sale , i trust you and bileave you are genuine , espacially as you are giving this away,
keep up the good work ,
all the best

Hi Alex,
So, anyone would be crazy to not take you up on your offer. Are you sure you haven’t bitten off more than you can chew?
I have researched and read and read and bought and bought. I paid all the fees to your website and have 10 sites there that all of the hosting and everything is paid until December. Yesterday, I paid all of the fees for My Product Center and I have a web site to set up there. And…this is where I am stuck. Can you offer any suggestions or help for my situation?
Hi, Alex,
I have written you many times but my replies have disappeared. I am afraid of writing again.
I am a newbie who has been spending much time on Internet. I read, read… The more I read, the less I understand. Several years ago I emigrated from Russia to Israel. I have been working as a private tutor for 8-9 hours a day. Practically I do not have any spare time. But my interest to IM is so great that I work at nights. I sleep not more than 5 hours a day. I have a great problem. I cannot concentrate on one subject. Each day I change the subject of my interests and studies.Furthermore, I am not good at computers. Nobody in my family wants to help me. And they cannot because of the language. I can succeed only if somebody shows me the step by step system( even in this case, I’ll manage to ask many questions.. That’s my level. After reading the replies of many people I felt credibility to you. I have seen that people believe in you, trust you and are not ashamed of asking your help. I highly appreciate this and hope that I will be able to say you ” thank you very much” that you appeared in my life one day”
Regards,
Tatyana
Hi Alex,
Man you really are living in the fast lane!! Half ya luck.
Alex, I have been following you and you mail-outs now for ages it seems but I have never had the money to invest in all that looks like gold. I have tried a lot of schemes and a lot of them are really just a set for the author to sell more products. The latest is John Thornhill’s 90 day challenge and I think it will work.
I need to know how to build a list from nothing when it seems that you don’t have anything to offer your followers, not even your own product yet.
I believe that most of the other stuff will “follow” after the “list” and “traffic” is sorted out but therein lies the problem.
Keep up the good work Cobber

Hi, Alex
A most unusual travelogue, thanks. Great to see the fun shots of Katie and Cameron too. What a coincidence (apparently ther are none), your meeting Andrew Fox on the same plane!
What I would need more help with in future conferences is how to link mt blog to social networking sites as well as article marketing sites. I read somewhere that this could be done automatically.
Thanks for all the very valuable content. This is a great model for how I should operate my internet business.
Best of health as you shoot through the skies.

Hello Alex. What is your next product? Weren’t we (the F500) supposed to JV with you on that? I was looking forward to that, as it would be my first real JV project.
Anway, I’m still stuck on focus. If you could come up with a device or software tool that would help a person maintain focus, you’ll make your million this year!
I also still don’t have much luck getting traffic via blogging. It’s partially my fault, as it’s so time consuming to “blog-hop” and leave quality comments. I rarely take the time.
I am having good results with giveaways though.
And here’s my biggest problem: I build a list and a relationship with the people on it. I send them valuable information and tips. I even give them freebies once in a while. However, they never buy anything! What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Paul Livingston
Hi, just wanted to say hello. I am TRYING (for years) to make some money on the internet…BUT, to no avail. WHY do some (MOST) internet people insist on my paying to get this information?
Hey Alex,
It’s always good to get mail from you and that’s because you always know that there is going to be some good stuff on offer and I don’t just mean free stuff. Your emails are some of the only ones that I open without thinking, what junk are they promoting now(no i’m not just trying creep). You have an excellent relationship with your list (as all these replies prove) and that is something that I would like to build with my list. But most of all I think the thing I need help with the most is the planning skills that you are putting on offer. I just can’t get the plan down onto paper so fail almost every time.
All the best,
James
Hi Alex,
I am new to internet marketing. I have a web site, started a Blog (1 post), joined Facebook, My Space, and just joined Twitter today. I am trying to do what too many people are telling me. I need to know how to use these all together or which ones I don’t need. They are all time consuming for a home school mom. I have done lots of busy work but no income. I also do not have a list yet.
Blessings,
Teresa
Hi Alex,
I enjoyed all of the coaching sessions and the group discussions. I fell behind trying to get my blog up http://www.captainhall.com. I built the PPP. I did succeed and I even built a web site http://www.how-to-catch-fish.com. Five of my pages were ranked #1 by Google search.
I am still looking for my first dollar.
I need to drive more traffic to my site.
I feel I need more content and a better site before I make a big push for traffic.
I want to learn more about video. I want to do how-to fishing videos.
I plan to do the 10×10x4 Traffic Geyser video program.
I have made some informal videos and have learned how to edit, split and add music etc. I will be publishing some videos soon.
I am converting an old VHS how – to video I did several years ago to digital format and then use it as a give away on my web site.
So, I am making progress just not in a sprint.
I am looking forward to a long relationship with you and the (F500).

Whats holding me back! Many files in zip ,many disc,s in downloads,disc,s shipped to me. I do not know how to open any of this material that was payed for,even programs that are not zipped.
many thanks, Alex, for teaching me from zero to “getting there” in marketing. I feel I still have a long way to go, but I couldn’t have done it without you. I am convinced that having a mentor, like you, is what is needed for online marketing. Therefore, I hope the relationship with you will continue.
I notice that there are tons of replies to this blog post, so I am not going to go on and on.
Thanks again..
And.. hope you make a million this year.. hope I make 10 percent of that..
Dan
I’m looking forward to what I might find in your next report.
Hi Alex,
I see what you mean when you say “I love to take on an adventure in life,”
But just where do you get all your energy?
Good on you Alex, I wish you all the best.
Harry
Hey Alex,
You’re really living the IM lifestyle. Good for you. You are my hero.
To be perfectly honest with you I don’t know what’s holding me back. I have problems with building a site, choosing a product to market, building a list, creating my own product(something I totally am blocked with) and of course ppc. But I am learning these technical skills. Slowly, to be sure, but I’m progressing every day.
But frankly I have a mental block that prevents me from going forward and succeeding.
I read all your products as well as Chris Farrell. Two regular guys like me who made their IM dreams come true. What is the difference between us? Taking action. Well I do take action but nothing comes of it. Believing in myself. There I have a problem but I’m working on it.
So the technical problems can be overcome. My own demons are another story. Don’t know if you can help me there mate.
Looking forward to your answer,
Robert
I too have been traveling, gone from mid-January just got home three days ago and leave again tomorrow, so I’m waaaay behind.
Still having trouble building a list but am launching a free e-book on my web site about how to make your video stand out. It’s called, How to Make Your Video Sizzle, (so you can sell the steak).
Hope I get some traffic from it.
Thanks.

Alex, keep up the good work! I’d love to have information on how you get so much accomplished! Any tips on productivity and tools you use would be interesting!
Thanks!

Hi Alex;
I download as many free programs I can and will use them for learning’ I’m a 72 year young newbie that is partially blind and to cover expensive eye injections I need to get started as anaffiliate. I’ve been ripped off by some bottom feeder marketing types and by some of the big boys who leave the key material out and keep trying to dump products on me for a large fee. I’m planning on going back to the nuts and bolts to get started ans the biggest problem is that Ihave no mailing or contact list. Without people to contact things would be dead in the water. The other poroblem is that I lack start up capitalbut where there is a will there is a way. Any suggestions would be welcome. I like your material and freebie’s. Thank you.
Hi Alex,
I’m a newbie to all the IM stuff & would just like to know how to get something profitable up & running at the moment.
I would love to be able to enjoy the things that you have experienced on your “vacation”
Cheers,
Timothy Stevens
Hi Alex,
I’d just like to thank you for all the hard work you put in during your mentoring course. I’ve learnt much more in the last couple of months than in the previous year.
Currently working on a couple of projects that are aimed towards building my list up to around the 2000 mark, I know thats where you said you started seeing real results.
I have a few hundred on my list now from contributing to giveaways, my question to you is, did you get up to 2000 subscribers mainly from giveaways, or did you concentrate on other techniques to hit the 2000 mark?
Thanks again,
Hope to speak to you soon and enjoy your temporary hibernation
Carl.
Thanks for all the great stuff you provide, Alex. Your blog posts are always entertaining, as well as informative. Look forward to any new product or report from you…
Hi Alex,
[waves across the severn from W-s-M]
I’ve been really impressed by your achievments and your attitude. I check your blog and always find it inspirational. I’ve got to pin myself down and focus on making an online marketing plan, my real world business keeps getting in the way!, then I go back to my hotmail and I’ve got like 3000 unread messages, mostly from ‘marketing gurus’, it’s usually yours that stand out as worth reading rather than going straight to the bin.
Would love to get some high power stuff from you, my offline business is really struggling at the moment [I do work for estate agents! doh] so I really need to get my act together and find another way of providing for the family.
Regards
Marcus
Alex,
You go underground and I get out my trusty
shovel…:)
I feel like the forever newbie. Too much information; both free and purchased. A lot of nothing all throughout. I just don’t understand……..must be thick as a brick…;)
Need to make money asap; don’t have much left to spend.
Le Sigh..
Shee & the shovel
Hey Alex,
The biggest problem I have right now is traffic generation, it would be great if you’d make a product about that.
Regards,
Nadav
Hi Alex,
I’ve been watching your progress since early last year and I am very impressed.
I need help in:
1.- Finding Niche markets.
2.- List building.
3.- Getting traffic to websites.
I have no money to spend on products so I am starting from scratch, I have a good knowledge of the internet and I am very computer literate.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards
Clive
Hey Alex,
I wanted to thank you again for the coaching program. I’m excited to take this business somewhere. We spoke many times through emails and your advice is always sound.
I could use some help with marketing my ebook without a list. I want to signup to giveaways, but I don’t have the list to market the giveaways to and thus increasing my spot.
So thank you again for all your hard work – I’m SLOWLY building a list one by one and I know it will be something 6 months from now. Stay in touch Alex, and best of luck in 2009.
Alex,
Thanks for all of the updates and tips.
Please keep them coming bro. I can’t wait to be living the same lifestyle.
Take Care
JP
Hi Alex
You’ve certainly shown how to build a fan base here and deservedly so. I have learnt a lot from the coaching, got my site invigorated, my blog up and running, an autoresponder series that seems to work and which has made some sales and just recently written an e-book. I would really like a critique of my site at http://gmoob.com and an endorsement for my e-book. Other than that I have found focus and am beginning to develop a strategy that has led to me working to a plan just like you told us. JV opportunity with your next product (as promised in the original pitch) would be good and a chat over a beer are the other things I would like.
Best
Mike

Thanks for all the good Information, Alex.
I’ve been studying it with the hope to repalce my daily survival job.
Hello Alex, I have been struggling with making money online for two years now off and on. Last Oct 08 I lost my job and was forced into retirement. Since, I have poured lots and lots of time and money into getting it together. Too much info I think so I have slowed down and backed away.
My plan now is to post mini sites and sponsor other affiliate programs. I am focusing solely on the better ones so if I am lucky enough to brand myself, it will be for the better.
I need the most help with organization. I have downloads out the yazoo on a USB hard drive which is OK but I feel like I need an Excel Spreadsheet or something to make it easier. It is also much easier to FTP files when you have them listed on your computers root directory seems like.
I too have the proverbial problem with traffic. I have signed up to all the social networks and also Orange Leads.com which is working out kinda cool. Anyway, I will appreciate anything I can wrap my little brain around and best of luck with your million dollar venture for 09. I know you will make it. Thanks for everything for now and also in the future.
PS You have a lovely family. Take care of them.
hi and thanks
i want tell all my friends this life very diffecultte but another time who good now it will pass
i think islam contain which corecct and repaier in now and other
I don’t mind investing the time to make something work, but I can’t afford to spend the time on something that doesn’t work. So, I end up skipping around from thing to thing trying to find something that will work quick. So, I guess I need help focusing.
Alex,
I’m also a newbie to all the IM stuff & would just like to know how to get something profitable up & running.
Thanks for all of the updates and tips,
keep them coming PLEASE.
I have little,to no money to spend on products, so I am starting at the very bottom, with products I can get for free.
Sincerely,
F.Rosenstiel
I left you a message last night and told you waht I needed, but as a few others of said, I gave you what you asked for, yet where’s the “free” product?
Are you for real or is this just another person “sellng information” for them to make a profit but not follow through on your “free” promisr of info until you get your money upfront?
Hi Alex:
I am quite new to IM and need a ton of help like so many others here.
I need help in:
1. Finding Niche markets.
2. List building.
3. Getting traffic to websites.
Many thanks,
Cheryl
Hello Alex,
Quite the story teller you have become…makes us want some of the same.
I know what to do, just don’t know HOW to do it. The technical stuff is what blocks me and i don’t have the moola to hire someone yet.
Thoroughly looking forward to learning more from you.
Let us know when you come to Canada.
Thanks again.
Hi Alex,
Sure looks like you had some fun. Looks quite busy to,jetting here jetting there. Great life style. As usual list building is where I need most help. In one of your early teachings you mentioned that you built a massive list using eBay. Is that still possible? It would be great if you would teach that. One last Question… When you marrying Katie?
Ed.
Hi Alex,
Wow, lots of raving fans! That’s what I’d like
Chat soon
Helen
Hi Alex,
I think the biggest thing I need help with is Time Management. I have so many courses to read, e-mails to write, websites to make or change, ads to do, forums, etc….
that I get lost. Give me one or two things and I’m fine, but when I have so much to do I end up doing very little because I feel pulled in so many directions.
Can you help me with time management?
– Jeffery
I need help in most everything. Getting a list, building a website, writing copy, acquiring a product to sell and everything else in between and after. I’ve been trying lots of things i.e., traffic exchanges, list-building sites, etc. and haven’t received one (1) signup yet. So you can see that I need help in doing these things right. I belong to several affiliate programs and it’s difficult to know which one to promote the most, so I use a list-building site and promote it with some of my programs listed on it.
Thank you and God bless you for wanting to help me succeed.

Alex,
What I’d like to know is what your current operation is like. Some questions I hope to get answered are the following:
So, my questions for you are the following:
1. What are your business operations Monday thru Sunday – a whole week? What is actually done on a daily basis?
2. How many outsourced people do you have?
3. What roles do each of your outsourcers play in your business?
4. What is your current monthly revenue generated with “just” Affiliate Marketing?
5. How many products do you promote on a weekly/monthly basis (Note: Not PPC Promotions & Not promotions promoted via your email list)?
6. How many promotions do you do with JUST your email list weekly/monthly?
7. What is your monthly expenses incurred to produce the level of income you are currently generating now?
I am a woman on dissability and I have tried to make money online. I have a web site called http://bighamspublishing.com. I have a blog and a shop that sells ebooks on self sufficiency, saving money, making money, saving coupons, budgeting, some I have wrote. I have had this site online since Nov. ‘08, even have over 95 followers on twitter.
I have posted to blogs, forums, lists, givaways, facebook, twitter, bloglog, etc, but alas, NO SALES from my ebooks. I see all kinds of ebooks sites selling ebooks, and ppl saying they are making thousands, but is this true? Does a person have to lie to get sales? Do they have to have affiliates to do their selling? I have done tons of reading and research, and marketing, what’s the catch? Do you have to spend thousands to make thousands?
I think to become self sufficient, one has to have a legitimate product that one can hold in the hand, to make any money. You have to have money for marketing to sell your first item. You have to do tons of offline marketing to sell anything. If so many people can make thousands of sells, whats the secret? Of course you have to buy their secret before they say anything.
How does one become self sufficient and make money when your on dissability and a fixed income. How can you do this with nothing to start with? Big questions, small answers.
Hi,
As a newbie, i find it really hard to find a niche, I think us newbies need a “how to guide” to help us.
Peter.
Alex, is not only a great Mentor but he is also a Great Man of his Word and this is more important than anything when building relationships and character.
You see for the last few months my programmer and I (Vince – a student of Alex’s) have been working on a new twitter software and we are very excited about it.
In the last webinar that Alex’s was doing I sent him a message and asked him if it was ok if I sent him a email about about our new project when it was finally finished so we could get his opinion.
Now as you know Alex,s has been on many adventures with his Family and some powerful marketing seminars like UG5. Once I heard this I
thought – Wow,I will never get Alex to help us with this new software were we just spent over 2 months making.
I figured everyone at the seminars would be trying to set up Joint Ventures with him and he was now becoming unreachable because of his success and popularity.
Still I had a small ray of hope, so I emailed him and his support desk Helen said, Thanks Vince for the JV Request but Alex has been inundated with offers and I don’t see how he can fit you in but if for some reason he is interested he will email you personally.
I have to tell you at that moment I saw all my dream and goals shattered. All I had to go on was Alex’s Word and I few day later everything changed.
Alex,s said OK Vince send me the details of your new project and I will look at it for you.
Suddenly this man who is now almost unreachable reached out to one of his students because he is a man of his word.
I sent him a video showing the program and bullet points and I will keep you updated with the results on my blog. Sometimes you just need a little break in life and maybe this is mine.
Thank you Alex for taken the time to help out one of your students – Sincerely Vince
Wow, getting REAL help would be a nice change from the regular grind of buying this and that from them and those only to find out it isn’t helpful at all. For 2009 I would just love to have steady income. I think (or know actually) I am doings something absolutely wrong as it is always a hit or miss. Some months I make a little money and then nothing for the next few months and yet I am in a constant state of advertising in one form or another. I am now generating just over 200 unique visitors a day to my site but not one sale is made from it. The sales I do make come from my email or classifieds advertising. Just to be told what I am doing wrong would be a godsend.
Goodday Alex.
I’m a total newbie to IM. I’ve been studying it for quite a number of years, but just got serious last October when I ran out of work – residential builder. I got serious at that time and got a couple of web sites up, but I’m still struggling with driving traffic to them. I considered PPC, but it seemed like a quick way to get poorer if you don’t really know what you’re doing. I need some inexpensive ways to drive some traffic first so that I can get some income to be able to afford more efficient ways of getting traffic.
Thanks.
James
Hello Alex,
I have been heavily dealing with information overload and not being able to focus on one thing. I have invested in many PLR, MRR, affiliate links, multiple online businesses, lots of downloads, tools and personal development,etc,etc,etc.
The funny thing is(which isn’t funny at all), is that I haven’t built my own website yet. Still not very comfortable using the computer.
Please Alex, Help Me Too.
Thank You Soooooo Much, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Sincerely and Forever In Your Debt,
Bill
One of the problems I’m having is that I’m not at all good at blogging yet. We were all instructed to create a blog and very few of us are any good at this blogging stuff. How and where can I find really useful content to use on my blog. Will outsourcing this kind of task be useful or efficient? How does one go about hiring someone for outsourcing, could you show us how that’s done? When a person is not an expert, how can they leave helpful post on blogs when they are the ones that are trying to learn themselves? So many questions and so little time…still struggling along.
Count me in Al, anything you speak or write about has got to be listened to.
Thanks for the coaching program, Alex. I’m sure you learned as much from us about how to teach it as we did learning from you! LOL!
One thing I struggle with is the speed. Until everything is up and running first time through it’s impossible to get all the balls in the air at the same time and keep them there. Helping us to identify what ABSOLUTLEY MUST be done first and what can be left to work on later would help. And can you put the videos associated with the PPP upsell in the members area please so we can host them ourselves? Thanks.
Good luck for 2009 – I’ve high hopes for you!
Susan
Hi Alex,
I’m just a newbie to the IM scene.
Have your Gurus Dream report but still don’t know enough to make a proper comment here!
I do appreciate your sharing your insights for free!
Ken
Alex – do you have a top 10 order of priority activities for a newbie please
If it’s free – I’ll have 2!!
Which is probably why I suffer from Information overload and have a huge problem in focusing.
Gordon
I’m embarrassed to tell you how many years I’ve been spinning my wheels and funding the retirement accounts of the GURUs. But, keep a light on in the window.

Hi again Alex. I am really confused I sent a comment yesterday and said you were the man about the world and I knew you were going to reach your goal in 2009. I was very sorry because I have been fighting Pneumonia for the last couple months but I was anxious to see what this was about. I feel you are truly an inspiration and am truly happy you are my mentor.
Best of luck in all you do…..
And some other stuff… I did submit it and it said waiting for moderation. I also clicked the Nofify me of followup comments via e-mail. I guess you did not like my comment, I don’t know of any other reason it would not be here. I still think you are a great inspiration and hope when I feel better I can get back on track.
You are the man, best of luck in all your dreams, I know you will succeed in 2009!
PS I do have a blog, set up by Garry P. but after my first blog he said: You will need
to release it out of the comment moderation queue, but well done. I asked him and have been trying to find out what that is and how I do it, with no luck. So I haven’t sent you the url or written any more blogs,until I get it right and also redo my blogsite….Being ill has made me a bit behind on what I want to accomplish but it will not stop me from doing it one way or another. I also agree with Gary Gilliam.
Hope to be able to leave my 30 years of metal working, to be able to take my family on a much needed trip, or possible permanent move. Thanks for the encouragement.
Alex,
I have to say that you of all people have been and remain to be true to your word. yes, I would like to be one more of your successes as to how to become a caliber entreprenuer like yourself, so please enlighten me and I do look forward to working with you..
Thanks again,
Greg
Alex, it’s really an honor to be in your coaching program. Learn a lot from you.
The thing that I am struggling with is driving traffic to my site. Would love it if you could help in this area.
Best of luck to you and I am sure you will achieve whatever target you set for 2009.
Frankie
Hi Alex,
Thanks a ton!
I am one of your “slow” students. But I have learned more from you than any of the IM Gurus! In fact I’ve spent a lot more and gotten a lot less from everyone else! You, my friend, over deliver 10 times over!
I would just love to have steady income from the internet. You have helped me, thanks!
David
Hi Alex,
Have some great products lines up and articles too. Not certain of the next step and at present my site is hardly moneterised. What do you suggest?
Thank you
Dear Alex, Thank you for your continued generous support and influence over the past couple of years. I always enjoy reading new emails and reports by you.
I would ask, in reply to your blog post, Would it be possible in the future to obtain a clearer picture on how to ‘gel’ all of the parts and processes of the IM business system together? I do struggle in putting the peices together as it were, especially with my websites.
Anyway, your blog was a good, inspiring read. Now go and relax with your family mate, sounds like you deserve it.
Kand Davies, Plymouth, UK
Hey Alex,
I need help from the ground up. From the very first steps getting started and making my first dollar online, to taking it to the next level.
Here’s to your million dollar year!
Daryl
Hi Alex, looks like a great time was had by all. From what I can tell it was well deserved.
I remember a video from last year, after your January hols, which detailed (seriously detailed) how to set out a plan for the year. I have desperately been trying to locate that video. You wouldnt have a link lying around would you, thats if its still up on the net.
Your clear, concise and enthusiastic way of experessing yourself makes it very easy to learn from you.
Keep up the great work
All the best
Denise
Hi Alex. sorry I’m not a go-getter like some of the people following you. But, you keep me real and you keep me comming back. I will succeed but only because of you. Thank you.
Hi Alex what I’m really interested in learning is how all this listbuilding & affiliate marketing stuff can be made to work outside of the info products markets? Am I wasting my time?
Hi Alex,
Saw you on Mikey Filsaimey’s BM blog and was really excited to see a British guy on one of these things – I felt like I could relate more.
I’d really like to come and see you at any event you do in the UK so I’ll keep my eyes posted on the blog. In the meantime I’m going to devour you other freebies
and get myself a copy of BM.
How can you help me? Well, I’m doing some online selling at the moment in a small niche I’m passionate about. The thing is I’m not sure I can ever make enough money in that niche. So a product I’d really like from you is one that shows me how to pick a market and produce a product for that market.
Thanks, Alex.
Hi Alex, sorry i missed out on your coaching program, found out too late. I wanted to thank you for all the great free info you’ve put out.
I’ve been following dean holland ever since and a few other students.
my big problem is too many ideas and projects, and not enough income.
I’ve decided to use an online planner that I coded myself to keep track of all my ideas, taks and projects, so i can view them from any pc and keep track of how they are going – i’ll be taking it a step further to allow my clients to book my services and once i approve it, it will appear on my calendar automatially along with an a/b/c priority and a dollar value – so i can see at a glance what i will be doing(my stuff) and what my clients need me to do along with priorities and dollar values all at a glance.
Hi Alex, you are proof that with a plan, you can live the dot com lifestyle! I want to thank you, for all the free products,information and training.It looks from the pics. All your hard work is paying you well my friend. Alex you have helped me see the light and take massive action. Thank you so much!
Hi Alex,
Besides wishing to be there in that picture I am slowly implementing all the stuff I’ve learned, as time permits. It all takes a lot of time just to get started with a new task and being able to finish in one sitting. I also find that the planning is not so easy, I end up changing things all the time.
I would like to see more Bonus Modules like we had with Maria and Andrew.
Including some Special Offers to us as Affiliates of your products and your IM friends’ products, that we could promote and earn money from. Especially if they would be exclusive offers to us to promote, even for a limited, advanced time.
I would like to know about how to be successful at JV.
You keeping in touch with us is very motivating. Your vacation pictures are very motivating.
Thank you for your excellent coaching. Alex, you have OVERDELIVERED.
I will be promoting your next Coaching program.on my blog – getting positioned for the BIG ONE.
Hey Alex! Great Post!
Ok, so right to it….
There are obviously MANY things a person has to learn to become successful at making money on the web, but there is one thing that is particularly intimidating to me, and that is PAID TRAFFIC.
Adwords scares the pants off of me because I’m terrified that I’m going to lose all sorts of money on it. The thing that makes me mad about this is that although I KNOW that there are plenty of people out there that are brilliant at it, I don’t know who’s really got the goods and who can give me enough information to ‘hit the ground running’ and start making money right away.
My initial vision is pretty simple – start selling an ebook, build from there – but economy being what it is, I can’t afford to flounder around forever trying to figure this stuff out. I need to start having some success RIGHT NOW with Paid Search.
Thanks so much! I look forward to learning more of what you’ve got!
Josh
Saw the video of you with Mike Filsaime in Washington DC today and wanted to ask you a question on something you said. You mentioned that you didn’t “make” the websites and pages you’ve got up and thats my question. I know about eLance and other outsourced developers, but what do you tell them you want, and whats a realistic budget? Also wondering how to find a niche. Seems like there are so many people out there already. Should I be interested in some of the tools offered out there to try to do what WordTracker does? Or are those the very products I want to flog on my affiliate site. Cheers, and thanks for your interest in where I’m at.
Hi, Alex
After all that fun jetting around you must have creamed off the best ideas from titans like Rick Schefren and Yanik Silver. Looking forward to the next phase in our internet education. Best to Katie and Cameron too.
Jacquelyn
You are an awesome man! Your story and pics give inspiration to push and continue with making ones dream a reality. You have a beautiful family. Keep up the great job and continue to inspire others to follow “bigger” things in life.
Hi Alex,
I’d lost track of you since Easy Profit Auctions then you appear with Mike Filsaime.
To be honest I havent been involved in IM much for the past year, but just looking to make a comeback.
I think what most people want to know is how to start. How do they make their first $1, then $10, $100 etc. There’s so much info out there telling you how to make $30,000 in 20 days etc.
Thanks
Keith
Hey Alex,
I would love it if someone would start from the very beginning; I’m sure you were there once yourself and make a simple, well defined video of how to get that first site up and published and monetize it.
I suffer from the same ailment many do…information overload. To many marketers telling me how much they made, not how they got there. Too much hype and selling and not enough delivery. I’ve seen some of your stuff…
I’m sure you can do better than most.
Mark

DEAR ALEX, I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN TO MARKET MY PRODUCTS ON THE INTERNET. I DO NOT HAVE A SYSTEM FOR GENERATING TRAFFIC. WOULD YOU HELP ME WITH THIS?
Looking forward the the upcomming modules and the master plan!
Hi, Alex
You’ve given me a great idea for promoting products with video. Gorgeous family, glad to see you all having such a good time at Disney.
Looking forward to the next training.
Jacquelyn
Fascinating info, Alex. Look forward to hearing more.
Alex ~
My issues are time & traffic. Time: There is so incredibly much to learn. Between you, Maria & Frank, & Joel I am buried in non-stop homework and nothing I am doing is creating traffic. Looking forward to what you have in store & hopefully meeting up in Las Vegas! Thank you in advance ~
Hey Alex,
I have been at this for a couple years now, with zero results. It’s time to step back and take a new look at it.
I think my biggest problem is focus, always has been. Maybe I have ADHD or something.
What I need help with the most is the initial planning and goal setting. These things need to come first I know. I know how to build a site and/or blog, am I’m familiar with the concept of giving things away free to build a list.
I guess the second area I am weak in is driving traffic without using PPC and similiar tactics.
Anyway, looking forward to your videos and anything else you put out. Love Hearing from you.
Don
Hey Alex:
Welcome back to earth. Glad you are keeping busy.
have been trying to get onto BUTTERFLYMARKETING but i guess you know about the technical problems encountered and 3 hours later I am still waiting.
Hope to finally get thru to this amazing product (because if YOU have endoresed it, IT must be GOOD)
Talk to you soon

As an ex Pom its a pleasure to hear a Pommie accent again especially as you babble on like my granddaughter. (I love my granddaughter) I’ll be following you.
Cheers
Hey Alex
We recently exchanged some emails over BFM 2.0 but we people that haven’t made online just can’t afford these events in faraway places. So when are you putting one on here in the UK or a new training course?
I have tried it all and as I am a hands on guy (yeah I’m the 54 yearold ex brickie)mentoring is the only way for me to go.
With all the stuff that is pushed in our faces every day “this will make money online stuff” rather than learning it just gets more confusing and frustrating.
What we need is a blinkers on with no distractions course that gives direct line to follow producing a workable system that can be used over and over.
Once we have that income we can then attend these advents in faraway places, you get your commissions from the events we are all winners. If had that autopilot income I swear to you I will wear my my passport out quicker than you.
Good Luck To All That Dream of Better Things

Hi Alex,
Excellent pictures, definately looked like you were having one fantastic time.
I’d also like to say thanks for everything in the coaching program.
And, as for you, GO GET THAT MILLION!!
Regards,
Richard
Alex, looks like you had a pretty exciting week there. Lots of business mixed in with business is the best way to go!
Good on you man,
Rhys Davies
Lots of information here, tks
Congratulations on your successes Alex. How to help me- a step by step plan, with what to do daily and within a couple of months perhaps or so- earning a full time income online, which for me would be about $5k.
Alex,
Could you resend the time management info you produced last year?
Thanks!
Alex
Im glad to see you always on the move.
Its good to know where ever you are you stilthink about how you can help your students
Thanks alot
Mike
Alex, great pictures with the family. I little fella is growing uo fast and looks as cheaky as his dad.

Hi Alex
This reply says it all. I’m about a month behind trying to catch up. I am working through the program again trying to fill in all the bits I skipped over. Your plans for extras sound great. As one student said I would like to make my first $. I’m not giving up yet.
Andy Lindsay
Hey Alex, Just spent a valuable hour watching the “traffic” vid’, and enjoying the stories and pics of your travels. Wish I had discovered your link on LivinglikeMarc’s Twitter profile long before today.
The site I listed above is kind of “Under Construction”, but there are my Top Twelve emailed Videos on the “Funny Files” page, and they’re a Hoot. I’ll be adding you, and some of your pals to my Twitter account HippyVet
Thanks, Trey
Alex
I cannt believe it!….I just devoured Guru’s Dream 21/04/09..and I recently made similar comments to an IM contact (Gordon Sheppard, another UK IM person)..I have read and read and read…and have been bitten by one fad (flavour of the second!) after another…yes I’ve been drawn by the hype…I must say there is an abundance of the most excellent sales copywriting out there….but when i have bitten or investigated they are either scams…or hype ridden rehash….i cant tell you how many i have bought and refunded because the product doesnt live upto the sales letter…
I am so mad I didnt find you before nov 7 because I am in desperate need of help….
Yes I am guilty of…..inaction…caused by overwhelm…
Recently made redundant (dec 19) from a decently paying j.o.b. but with a wife and 7 yr old I am in sore need of income….i know this doesnt sit well with the give first, build a hot list then earn…i obviously need to that but i also need to earn in the meantime…
i did make a suggestion to gordon that seems to be echoed in the dream please let me know what you think….
what the industry needs is a skilled IMer (like you) to have a vision and for that person to coach/mentor newbies in a case study environment so that the case studies can be captured and used to teach the mass market later….depending on how generous the coach is a future income share scheme cold be setup to recoup some investment…
i need to start but where,…any chance i could get involved and be a deanholland….
Alex. I love what you are doing. I know there is money to be made online through blogging and twitter. I want to generate traffic, but I also need something people want. I don’t want to just make a buck, I want to provide people with something they truly want. But without the traffic, it is all for not.
Keep up the good work, and again, I LOVE what you are doing. Very inspirational!!

Vegas was great man. You made for great entertainment in the hypnosis show. I am on your mailing list so, please keep me posted on your next product. Cheers
Hi Aex,
Free stuff is great those days
But biggest concern is how put it into action and make money on it, where it looks like there is anything for free those days.
I am a newbie and love to here about new and advanced processors to enhance my internet presence.
I think you are doing a great job helping us and it must be hard as there are so many so called gurus out there so happy to grab your last buck and still only give you info that is only going to help them get the next or the last buck from your bank account.
I have been working 18 hrs a day trying to get my blog to pay me for the time invested and still its like flogging a dead horse could you look at what I have there and help me make it work or at lease be honest and tell me its all a waist of time and to put it down, too stop it suffering any further. Hope to here from you.
You asked what makes me mad well here goes: #1 information over load to much crap, not enough straight to the point do this do that, follow me, email me directly if you don’t get it, remember we are the ones that want to succeed we finally get to do something take the plunge, take action we ask the question and never here back or when we do it is another offer the next big thing, we know you all want to make money, but so do we. #2 You look at the copy it looks great you take the plunge and then find out that 1000’s are doing it already and the product is already dead before it is offered, you spend weeks setting it all up and spend mega amounts of money on it and find out it was already dead before you begun, someone get real here we are not all internet dummies, what happened to honesty and integrity, no one tells you the real secretes, just enough to follow them to there bank account.
Glad to here you are living the life how about giving us some real life changing stuff so we can join you on the next adventure, not just wish and dream.
I am a solo dad of 4 and I need to succeed 4 my children.
Kindest regards
Warren
Great photos, I know one day so I will be able to do the same kinds of things, thanks to following your advice!
Alex, I took a look at your site and was impressed. I have no answers for you as I am a newbie as well and really have very little clue of what I am doing. (I hope to change that soon)
The only thing I didn’t like was the video starting right away and having to scroll down so far to find it. Volume was up and it kind of startled me and took a few seconds to find the video to pause it. Hope this helps coming from an average person who would be the type to visit your site.
Great content here and much to ponder – thanks!
Hey Alex, I’ve been following you for a while, you are so a breath of fresh air to me. I am finally accepting my talents and jumping off the fence getting my feet wet. I can’t think of a better person to hold the life raft that keeps me from drowning in the sea of wealth.
Hoping we can work together.
Hi Alex, I’m new in internet marketing, but I
))
really want to be successful. I now this not easy, that’s way I very glad that I found you
I’m a bit older than the rest of y’all and older guys tend to be more cautious. However, following the progress and activities of a couple of “gurus” like yourself has inspired me to jump into this world of the ‘net, after fluttering around the edges for a couple of years.
You obviously are enjoying the fruits of your success. I wouldn’t mind enjoying a few fruits myself. So, as the saying goes, “If you don’t get in the water, you will never learn how to swim.” Let’s hope I learn to swim well in the internet water.
like my old sargeant when I was in the Marine Corps (seems like a hundred years ago) used to say. “Frontal assault man, frontal assault. Go for it.”.
Regards, Richard
Hi Alex,
I just read, “Newbies Nightmares”. I am amazed at
all the free stuff. Thank you very much. You
pointed out your marketing plan, your coaching
philosophy and my road blocks and how work around
them. Thanks.
I think you are having a lot of fun. You call that work? Thanks for the good content.
Alex,thanks for the info. (gurus dream). . .indeed !
The gem that stuck with me, beside the one year plan broken down to smaller chunks, was the point that when you have such a plan in place it automatically insulates me from the endless marketing emails I get. Because the offers just don’t fit into my plan Right NOW. And so I don’t buy or even bother reading the sales page and I get MY work done that was scheduled. . . Brilliant !
Thanks, Eric
Hey Alex…
Here I go again reading something months later.
Hope you read this. Here you asked that you will work with us and help us earn money as we help you reach your goal of 1M(which is douable).So here is my wish list.
what you want to learn ?
I want to learn HOw to Edit PLR products to market it as my own. See I have tried some software that John Thornhill recomended and I’m either stupit or what it does not work for me.
and more importantly
what can i do for you ?
Show me or introduce me to a good product when you unzip and you dont get a word document.
where you are stuck ?
kicking off my first product…
what do you feel is getting in your way ?
Getting mad at myself for not being present
what makes you mad online ?
all they e-mail that send shinny new products…
I know you said in your book to forget them and just focus on one thing…
So there you have it another Newbie in stress…
Alex I do have the disireand passion to make it on line… I need it because I lost my JOB 3 weeks ago. I’m too old for someone to hire me and to young to collect Social Secretiy. (for give my bad spelling)… So do you want to shove me in the right direction and use me as a model or forget you got this late post? Sorry being to plunt. I do respect you and your beautiful family.
Signing off for now hope to here from you either way…
Reg B.
P.S. no i’m not trying to spam you or am not nuts either…
What makes me mad online is knowing the marketing and sales game for most is hype. The sell to me based on desires and fears, catering to emotions ye I want real help. And really, why would help their potential competition? How did they learn? I am guessing it wasn’t by buying every book and course out there! I could say more but we’ll leave it at that.
Ok I will say more. Does one get big money from lottery numbers? They can, if they write and promote a book about it! No by playing the numbers. See my parallel?
You’re different. You seem more honest to me than the rest.
I’m stuck deciding where to start to be honest. I can’t brainstorm a decent enough topic! But that’s my own demon to deal with.
