Well who would have believed it; My blog is now just over one year old.

During the incredible roller coaster journey over the last year I have written 75 posts and received virtually exactly 3,500 comments! And before that date I had never written a blog let alone understood how to install and manage one so it has been a big learning curve but an enjoyable one.

When I look at those figures I think - WOW! I did that; of course with a lot of help and encouragement along the way from my many visitors (and many new friends) who I am very grateful to Now I do feel a tad guilty because in recent months I have neglected to find the time to post which has been a big mistake because the reason for my “success” has been entirely down to my personal blog which I started when I enrolled on the Alex Jeffreys’ Internet Marketing Course a year ago. 

Yes, just a year ago I started out as a student of Alex Jeffreys and now the tables have really turned around. As many of my regular visitors know, over the past 6 months or so ,I have been working with Alex as his Operation’s Manager (right-hand man, side kick, gofer … or whatever else you want to call me!). And the only reason that came about was fully embracing the coaching course and putting into practice in a massive way what we as students were taught. Well it worked, and it has ended up with me doing what I am doing now.

Alex Jeffreys coaching program has re-opened! My friend and mentor, Alex Jeffreys is taking on a very limited number of new students. To sweeten the deal, he is going to give the first 100 students a substantial discount.

Alex is offering the exact same, life changing,  training that I received a year almost a year ago. By following his lead, I have established myself in the Internet marketing community and have a self sustaining, profitable online business.

Even though I have done better than most, (95% of people who try to make money online fail), I still feel that my success has been limited. This is because I work a full time job and have a family.

I am only able to commit about 5-10 hours a week to my online business. I want to be a full time marketer but I need to be able to replace a 6 figure a year income before I can walk away from my job.

I am not quite there, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My online income continues to grow every month and becomes more consistent as I bring in money from various continuity programs. I have some things in the works that are really going to accelerate my progress.

Maybe I can catch up to some of my fellow students that were also in Alex's coaching program with me. There is a list of people that have actually quit there jobs and gone full time internet marketer.

Hi there,

Well today marks a milestone for this lil ole blog of mine. You see www.motivationselfesteem.com/talk is officially ONE YEAR OLD today! Yep, I started it up on the 27th of November 2008 after signing up to Alex Jeffreys’ Internet Marketing Course.

Since then I have turned this site into a POWERHOUSE of Internet Marketing information – most of which is FREE. Here are just some of the highlights along the way…

1 – Back then I was getting approximately 50 to 75 visitors a day. Today I regularly get 600 to 800 per day and have had many days over 900 and even 1,000. The biggest visitor number was last week at 1,310 visitors for the 24 hour period. That is high traffic!

2 – I went from having ZERO followers on Twitter to having some 27,000 followers now,

3 – My Alexa Ranking has gone from 5,179,210 on the 27th November 2008 right down to being in the top 100,000 websites in the world with a present popularity rank of 92,216 (and still falling like a stone) – and that is a significant achievement to be ranked 92,216th in the WORLD out of about 50,000,000 (50 million) websites!

4 – I have added content almost every week – this has drawn 3,573 comments in the 12 month period.

5 – I have also added many informational e-books to the blog to help people understand the concepts of copywriting, time management, adswapping, list-building, Giveaway events, motivation, inspiration, Twitter AND there are more to come!

Hello,

Well, I hope you have been enjoying my Internet Marketing tips from Las Vegas. This one is about getting yourself a mentor.

Now, I’ve been hinting about the existence of this video (and others) for a while now. You are in for a surprise here – oh yeah! Here I am in the spa at my luxury apartment suite at the Luxor Casino. The luxury Luxor. Oh, watch for what I do at the end… (You know something? … I can hardly believe I do these things myself *sigh* I mean – seriously – I don’t know what possesses me sometimes. Or where these dopey ideas even come from.)

Enough said. Watch it and see for yourself…

If you haven’t watched the other 7 Internet Marketing videos then they are here on my blog. In all of them I manage to say something at least half-decent about Internet marketing. (Maybe this one is half-INdecent – LOL!)

PS: Who else do you know who would have the audacity to do this? Oh yeah, maybe the Gangsta would – Alex Jeffreys.

Hi,

Well, my Internet Marketing topic for today may be a little boring for you but…

… this is just SO important. In fact, I have been thinking about it off and on most of the weekend. I wasn’t even gonna write it. Then I thought – yeah, it’s boring to me and it’s obvious to me but then I have been around the block a few times with this Internet Marketing caper. I’ve seen a lot in Internet Marketing stuff in my travels and what may be blatantly obvious to me and even boring may, in fact, be a revelation to others. So, here it is…

BE YOURSELF.

Startling stuff hey? Well read on, I have some ideas and observations to throw at you and maybe a little bit of humor too…

Don’t be a clone of Alex Jeffreys or Mike Filsaime or Stephanie Mulac or Rich Schefren or John Thornhill or Dave Nicholson or Paula Brett or Omar Martin or Rosalind Gardner or Maria Andros or Garry Parkes or Dean Holland or even me for that matter! (heaven help you!)

WHY?

Because YOU are UNIQUE. There is NOBODY exactly the same as you in the entire world! You have unique talents. You have a unique way of expressing yourself. Some people will find you hideously irritating. Some will find you arrogant. Some will find you boring. Some will like you. Some may even find you enchanting. Some might even get so fixated on you that they will stalk you. Yeah, it happens. Social media networking is a real tutti-fruiti haven for cyber-stalkers. But that is a subject I will cover a bit later on. Back to the subject at hand…

Well it has been a while since my last post.

Sorry about that, but as you can probably gather from my announcement in my prior post about my new position as Alex Jeffreys’ Operation’s Manager things have been a bit hectic to say the least,  (Understatement of the year!) I’ve certainly been very busy making sure everything goes smoothly for the new intake of Coaching Students but it has certainly been worthwhile; What a great group of people we have and the new exclusive private Members Forum has been a great place to mix with like minded individuals and an invaluable resource for everyone.

Now short-term this has meant I have had to postpone some of my plans for expanding my own business and put some of my ideas on the back-burner. But this ’pause’ in my rapid progress is to be welcomed as it gives me an opportunity to reevaluate my own plans and goals and update them to reflect the big changes in my situation. Anyone who has been on Alex Jeffeys Coaching Course will realise Organisation, Planning, Setting Goals and Targets, coupled with the right Mindset is key to success in building your online business. This is taught very early on in the Coaching and the students who have grasped this FULLY and IMPLEMENTED it are the ones that will go on to have the most success. Now notice the emphasis on ‘FULLY’ and ‘IMPLEMENTED’ in that prior sentence. You see there is a vast difference between intellectually knowing something to be true, fully agreeing with it but then only paying ‘lip-service’ to it. To succeed you have to make these disciplines part of your everyday habits. Once they are part of your everyday habits then you will begin to make solid progress towards the targets and goals you have set yourself.
