It's only a matter of time now. I should be finished with the ebook tonight. All I have to do is make sure that I have all of the back end components in place and that all the links work and go where they are supposed to go. Then I will make a couple test runs to double check that the system runs smoothly and like I planned.

For those that are wondering, it's not just about creating the ebook. While I am giving the ebook away for free, my goal is to make about $500 within the first 30 days that the ebook is live. This will happen through various affiliate links that are in the ebook and from back end offers that will be presented to my subscribers via my auto responder.

That is how the "big dogs" build their lists and get payed to do it. My mentor, Alex Jeffreys, has taught me that if you provide as much value as you can and give away the farm for free, your subscribers will be begging you to buy something from you later down the road.

Well I am about to put that theory to the test. I have been using the strategies Alex presents in his free ebook, "List Building With Alex", and I have added almost 500 subscribers to my email list. These are verified subscribers. If I include every lead I generated the number is over 700.

If making videos is your ‘thing’ then you can do no better than to put them on YouTube.  Because YouTube is a Google property and you get the benefit of it being constantly spidered for new content.

You don’t even have to use your own videos, there are literally thousands for you to pick from, to use for yourself.  It is quite permissible to do this, you are not stealing nor is it considered plagiarizing in any way, you simply embed the url into your own site.

There is such an upsurge in the use of social media sites that it is imperative for anyone wanting to make contacts to use these sites.  You can even put in a link for a video on say Twitter, Facebook etc.

Video is definitely the way to go, people just love videos, for fun, for business, whatever, they flock to sites showing videos.  Obviously this means that you have massive exposure if you have videos showing on any of these sites.  It would be sheer lunacy not to take advantage of this as part of your marketing strategy.

Of course, the secret to creating a ‘viewer friendly’ video is to vary the content.  Don’t just sit or stand and talk for the whole length of the video.  People soon get bored with that.  Vary your backgrounds if you can and perhaps put other material in, graphs, instructional sections where you are showing a screen on your computer etc.  Anything which will make a natural break is good.

Well for most of us on the Alex Jeffreys course it has been an intensive period over the last couple of months while the mentorship course has progressed. It is probably just as well that Alex Jeffreys is on holiday at the moment to allow many to consolidate as the pace has been fast and furious at times. Many of us have had to change our mindset, learn new skills and techniques and are getting into different areas of Internet Marketing.

There have been many obstacles and barriers to get through along the way and these have been different for each of us. Whether this be new skills to learn, or getting over a mental barrier to go beyond your own comfort zone. Each of these barriers holding us back will be different for each of us, but when we overcome each one we have a breakthrough that inspires and encourages us until we inevitably meet the next ‘challenge’. Only you as an individual will know if you have stretched yourself enough and had some breakthroughs because like I say these will be personal to each of us.

I thought I would share with you three of the very significant personal barriers I have broken through to make a real go at success in Internet Marketing. The first was when I read Alex Jeffreys‘ free ebook the ‘Gurus Dream’ and watched his promotional video for the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Course. I knew instantly why I had failed in all my previous attempts to succeed in Internet Marketing.

Internet Marketing can be confounding, confusing, annoying and downright bloody frustrating at times.

Now this is gonna be short and sweet - something that the Gazz-Man is NOT noted for.

I’m gonna give everyone the opportunity to tell me - and anyone else who cares - what your biggest issues are in Internet Marketing.

I am giving you the chance to LET RIP. I will censor nothing - providing it isn’t defamatory or hurtful to an individual. You can even swear a bit if you want. I don’t care. Rant. Vent. Spill. Get it off your chest, out of your head. Here’s your opportunity. You’ll feel better.

Spray the “methods” of the so-called gurus if you want. Give ‘em a big Goran Ivanicevic serve.

Tell us all what you really think about Internet Marketing.

Over to YOU. Let RIP!

If you think a blog is worthy of inclusion let me know and I’ll add it.

A very good friend of mine just emailed me something that DEMANDED my attention. He is a guy who places no limits on himself or his ability. He is a pretty incredible fellow whose talent in karate has to be seen to be believed. In fact, the word “devastating” comes to mind. Anyway…

… he knows I am “into” this motivational stuff as well and we regularly email back and forth and talk even though he lives some 2,000 miles away on the other side of this vast continent of Australia. But what he sent me today SHOCKED me and I just had to stop what I was doing - on the spot - IMMEDIATELY - and share it with you.

It’s all about having NO limits.

You see, I hear people say things like “I could NEVER do that” or “I’m just not lucky” or “I’m not smart enough” or blah… blah… blah… Excuses, excuses, excuses!

Some of you will know that I wrote a pretty hard-hitting article on EXCUSIOLOGY in Garry Parkes‘ second newsletter for the Profit Pulling Project.

So, you know I don’t like excuses - even when they are dressed up as “reasons.” It’s the SAME dog, just a different leg action.

Excuses limit people.
