Next Internet Millionaire

It's been awhile since I posted last, but I'm still plugging along, learning all I can about Internet Marketing. Have you watched Joel Comm's new Internet reality show "The Next Internet Millionaire"?

It's on the net every week and so far there have been 6 episodes. They started with twelve contestants - two from here in Canada, that were chosen by their youtube audition videos.

Every week, they are taught by a top Internet Marketer on a different aspect of the business. They have two different challenges per week, one individual and one as a team. And each week someone is sent home, so it has been enjoyable to watch.

You can't learn as much from the trainers as I had hoped, but if you listen closely, there are tips along the way. And most of the challenges have been really interesting. Except for the week when the contestants were allowed to answer less emails if they ate a couple of big, fat worms. Since this is a business show, I thought that was a bit crude and don't think I'd ever see Donald Trump ask anyone to do that. To her credit, the girl from Toronto refused.

So far, I think the guy from Costa Rica, the outspoken Christian, and the young youtube expert are my favourites. If you get a chance to watch the show, let me know what you think and who you're voting for.

New Year, How Are You Doing?

I've got a good feeling about this year. I'm finally getting it as far as understanding affiliate marketing. People have told me before that it isn't that difficult, but I think something needs to click and it finally has. I'm still doing a lot of offline workshops for the local community centre and have also started renting my own venue to present them. I've done two so far. The first one I allowed people to pay at the door. Big mistake. They registered, but then sent me an email at the last minute saying they couldn't come. So after I paid for the location, I was in the hole. The second one I did, I finally got smart and put a Paypal registration on my website. So much easier, not to mention nice to get the Paypal notification that I had made a sale. Ended up with three times as many paying attendees and they paid $5 more each than the first group. Lest you think I made a fortune, my first workshop only had two payees, but it sounds better to say three t...

Why An Internet Business Is Best For Me

I'm presenting a full day workshop at the local community centre in a few days. My topic - Start an Internet Home Business For Under $100. With more than a dozen ways to make money on the Internet, this will be a brief introduction of all the possibilities that exist online. There is no way I can cover too much in depth - but I hope to inspire people to try. Who am I to be telling anyone anything? Well, in the past few years I have learned more than I realize. I created a mindmap with six main topic areas - finding a niche, what you need to get started, monetizing, places to sell, getting traffic, and other possible options such as video and audio. Mindmapping was an easy way for me to see all the different things I could talk about. The hardest part is narrowing it down to what can be consumed in one day without causing information overload. In the past, when I've presented workshops on topics like eBay, the only negative comments I've ever had are always about too muc...

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...
