Well a New Year is nearly upon us and it is the time of year we start to think of the year ahead and making some New Year’s resolutions. Now for those who are planning on building a highly successful on-line business it is a particularly important time. Planning is crucial. For those presently doing the mentorship course with Alex Jeffreys – remember way back on our first webinar, ‘Forward to Basics’? I hope so, because it is crucial to have those plans in place to ensure we have a firm foundation to build our business on. All the ’small steps’ we take towards our goals, as written in our plan, take us in the right direction and have a cumulative impact when all added together.

Now notice the word “written” in the above paragraph? You see a plan in your head is just a dream, a thought, an intention. To make it become reality you have to do a bit more and one way of ensuring that is by making yourself accountable. Now I reveal at the end of this post my precise goals for the coming year. Why? Well because announcing them to the world makes them more ‘real’ than just a thought and more importantly it makes me accountable. I do not like to fail and having my goals up for the world to see is one way of instilling the drive and determination to make me succeed. You see I will succeed I told you here. Will you?

The first week in January will see the launch of the second edition of the ‘Profit Pulling Project’ Newsletter. Now the first edition was a rip-roaring success. Many established internet marketers with their own lists used the viral re-branding option to ’stamp’ their own name and website throughout the ebook. This ensured a confirmed circulation of 1,000’s on just the very first issue. Very pleasing for all the Alex Jeffreys’ students and in particular those who played an active part in promoting it and thus got their names in the ‘Roll of Honor’.

You can refer to the post ‘Get a slice of the $1 MILLION up for grabs’ to remind yourself exactly what they had to do to secure their place. Now they (possibly even you reading this) completed those 4 simple steps once and yet the impact of their actions will be felt for years to come as due to the viral nature of the internet that newsletter will be read by successive readers for years to come. 

Now it was made quite clear in that original post that the privilege of getting your name included in the newsletter was for the LAUNCH Issue only. However, it seems that some people got over enthusiastic and many (at least 40+ posts after the launch deadline) carried on completing the task list. Now unfortunately I can’t turn back time, LOL, so they missed getting their names in that launch issue but to recompense I am going to do a similar sort of thing for the second issue and the SECOND ISSUE ONLY, so please take note here. If you want to get your name included and ‘immortalized’ forever this is what you have to do this time.

Well yesterday I said I was going to put up a bit of a controversial post and here it is. You see, it looks as though that amongst the Fortunate 500 there are only about half of those that have chosen to go down the recommended route of creating a blog (BIG, BIG mistake for those that haven’t as they have totally missed the main benefit of the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Course and the social media aspect of it. But that’s a discussion for another time and not the purpose of this post. They will fail, strong words I know, but sorry you will or at the very least not maximise your potential).

But what about the other half? How can I best serve them on this Blog? Well, right from day-1 I have maintained a student Blogroll on my site. At the start it differentiated me from many of the other student blogs that started to pop up because I made sure it grew and grew as new people came along. As a consequence people came to my site because they knew they could navigate to all the other ‘known’ students, Hey, even Alex Jeffreys himself has said on many occasions that he visits my site everyday for that very reason. The point is a Student Blogroll is useful, but as you know a few weeks ago it became impractical to have new entries added to the Blogroll in the left-hand side bar and thus I started an ‘overflow’ Blogroll on a separate page. Obviously, this doesn’t have the prominence of been on the front page but it was the most practical thing I could think of to do.

How are you going about trying to win the $1,000 prize money in the Traffic Generation competition? Well looking around the sites I see some interesting ideas sprouting up. One of the best ones that caught my eye was another competition that is run by a fellow student to give away a further $200 in prize money. Now the competition is brought you by Joe Trueman and can be found here. It’s a good creative idea and deserves your support and hey you can win another $200 !!

But how can you yourself generate traffic? Well, if your scratching your head searching for some magic button that you press and hey presto it comes in floods well it’s not going to happen. Those who signed up with our mentor Alex Jeffreys did so for a reason, to find out what he does and copy it. The fast-track to success is to follow a proven model and apply it and that is exactly what you should be doing now. So how I’m I applying the knowledge that Alex has imparted to us?

I’ll update this post in a few hours time with exactly what I am doing with Traffic Generation and how it will directly help you win the $1,000 competition. No kidding, you’ll be surprised. .. pop back soon

UPDATE: I’ve struggled to keep on top of things today as had to liaise with many of the contributors for the next edition of the newsletter. It’s taken longer than I thought. Everything does, lol. I will get this post updated as soon as I can. I’m missing tonight’s call as I’m off out with friends for Christmas, unless I get back and catch the back-end.

and what a time to shine too,
but for a second let me back track 12 months  …

if you go back and view my blog posts in January 2008

I actually predicted that my business would generate around
$250,000 in 2008

so now 12 months later it’s december 2008

and the question stands …

did we reach our income target ?

well firstly …

you can watch the video explaining
my prediction here … and how we planned to make the money

JANUARY 2008 PRIDICTION VIDEO

but …

even though in the video I predicted
my income target would be $250,000
before december 2008

im now proud to announce just 12 months on

(we actually broke the $500,000 mark last month  November 2008)

Man i feel proud …

so I doubled my income target and I also grew my business 

4 x from the year before,

$115,000 in 2007 to $500,000 plus in 2008

so now in January 2009

I’ll create a new plan of attack ready

 to build my online business to over a million dollars in 2009.

and i see this being possible for many
reasons but this one reason keeps sticking
in my head – (for some reason)

and this is it,

the super affiliate Andrew Fox coined me : -

“The Triple Threat Affiliate”

you see…
