How I became an Internet Marketer

Back Home and Business as usual

2011-08-25T20:10:00.000-06:00

We flew into Calgary this lunchtime and are now back home. The computer is fixed and we are now back to a 2 screen set up. I have lost an awful lot of data however, as I suspected, most of this can be recovered from my host. I am pretty much jet lagged and tired so this is a quick post just to let you know that it is business as usual.... starting from tomorrow.

Reliving old memories

2011-08-24T02:53:00.000-06:00

Our time in United Kingdom is almost done. We are spending our last few days visiting family and saying our "Goodbyes".

Last night we visited my cousin Rob and his wife Kath. Rob and I literally grew up as brothers, we only lived 2 streets apart and were best friends from as long as I can remember.

I was sat in Rob's front room chatting to Kath when Rob disappeared for a few minutes, when he returned he dumped a jacket in my lap...... I could not believe it........ it was my old Biker jacket. Somehow, although I cannot remember the exact details, Rob had ended up with my jacket over 30 years ago. Most of that time it had spent hanging up at the back of his garage.

Of course I had to try it on, although it is a little tighter these days, and of course out came the camera. I have put a picture at the top of this post and if you click on it, it will send you to my facebook page where you can view the whole evenings events including the mobility scooter pulling a trailer and the escapades in the other motorcycle.

So today is our last day, later we will be heading back down to Swindon to spend the day with Claire and Colin, the plan is to head down there then this evening head in towards London and find a hotel. Tomorrow morning we fly out at 10:00 local on our 9 hour flight back home.

I received a phone call from the computer shop in Lethbridge yesterday informing me it was bad news with the sick computer. Apparently one of the hard drives is fried, which means i have lost some of the work I have done for the Internet Marketing Business, I am hoping I will be able to copy this back from my hosting company. Its a little annoying but not the end of the world.

In the 2 weeks that we have been over here i have been planning quite a large project which i am planning to start this weekend. I am not going to divulge any details just yet as this is just a "Scribbles in the notebook" stage at the moment..... but believe me when i say that once this is completed and uploaded it will be of huge benefit to anyone getting into this business.

Speak to you all when I am back in Canada...

Fish ate my toes...

2011-08-19T16:21:00.000-06:00

Sorry it's been a little quiet on the BUILD AN INCOME Blog for a few days. It's because I am on the other side of the world at the moment, and YES I am still running the BIZ from here.

Just to bring you all up to date, my daughter is getting married this weekend so we jumped on a plane and headed over to United Kingdom. I am now sat in a hotel in Swindon, Wiltshire and i thought I would give you all an update before I start writing my "Father Of The Bride" speech.

We are having a fantastic reunion and the happy event is tomorrow afternoon.

As you can possibly imagine, I have been banned from using the computer for most of this trip... for obvious reasons.... but this evening i have a few hours to myself so its back to the Biz.

By the way I would just like to share with you what we did today. This morning we went to a FISH SPA, this is quite a weird experience as you have to dangle your feet in a tank full of fish and they nibble all round your feet and toes. Apparently they eat all the dead skin, sounds disgusting but is actually very pleasant and it makes your feet feel very soft.

Anyway folks, there's the update so I had better get on with the speech.

EDIT: Oh, before I forget, now that I have got the FREE eBook and the FREE "Success Grenade" Newsletter up and running, now that some of you have downloaded them, would you mind giving me a little feedback on what you think of them. You can either leave a comment on this post or post a comment on the Facebook page at BUILD AN INCOME

Anyway time for a business update.

Things are going very well so far although it is a little un-nerving when you complete a particular marketing task and the result is a little more intense than you were expecting. I was surprised at the actual numbers of people out there who think like me.

When I first started this Internet Marketing I felt very much alone. I know i keep mentioning the first ever post I made on this Blog, but it felt as though i was the only person who had this dream of creating my own income and being my own Boss. If you look back at the post i mentioned something about "Will I FLY or will I FALL?"

Well, I think think I have come a long way in a short space of time, for a start I never realised that so much effort and perseverance would be needed. When I created my first Website I really did expect the readers to come flooding in and when i looked at the Stats the next morning and saw that the only person who had looked at the site was me, i don't mind admitting i was disappointed. Now, looking back, it all makes sense, how can you expect to create a site and over night accumulate a reader base.

Another thing that really concerned me was the fact that I had nothing to sell.... I could understand how the principles worked and how to create the sites but what good was it without a product. Later on as my knowledge base grew I realised some of the answers and discovered that there were in fact tens of thousands of products that could be either given away or sold.

I still have to smile when I look back at first being told that I was going to be using Face Book as part of my Marketing toolbox. And guess what, I now know more about Face book, Twitter and Linked In than I ever knew there was to know about them. There are in fact thousands of Marketers out there all using Face book to make money, and right under all of our noses.

A lot of questions have also been answered for me since I got into this business, like, why do people take the trouble to write articles in Blogs, E-Zines, Wiki's and sites like that. There does not seem to be any reward for doing all that work, free information for all to see. But if you look behind the scenes and look at Social Media from a business perspective then you see exactly why they do it.

Anyway folks, it has been a very busy weekend this weekend and I have spent most of it sat at this keyboard. Was it a wasted weekend? No, I don't think it was, all of the stuff i managed to get done this weekend only ever has to get done once, and like I said it is done. My business has actually started creating it's own momentum which makes me very excited for my families future but also scares the hell out of me (but in a good way) I have a feeling that my life changed 3 months ago and there is no going back.

I am going to leave you all with this thought:

If you intend to reach for the Stars......... don't ever look down !

A Big Huge Thank You

2011-08-06T12:34:00.000-06:00

So is this the life of an Internet Marketer?

I am sat in my home office in a pair of lounge pants and a baggy golf shirt and working on my Internet business. The drapes are pinned back and the window is open, the fan is on full blast and there is a nice breeze blowing over the top of my head. I thought I would do a quick update before I got get showered and changed then go do some food shopping.

I wanted to do this post first because i wanted to just say THANK YOU to all the people who have stopped by this site (and also my Sales Pages) and especially to those who have clicked on my links to go check out some of my money making ideas. The one that is super popular is the Chris Farrell stuff and I am so pleased about that because that is how i got started in the first place.

I have got some very exciting plans for the near future which I am pleased to say involves giving out FREE STUFF. I am not going to say too much just yet because it is in the planning stages. I would love to be responsible for getting people involved in this industry and for helping you do exactly what I have done over the last few months, the internet is HUGE yet still only in it's infancy...... there is more than enough room for all of us to benefit from this. Be warned though, and i do keep saying this...... this is NOT a GET RICH QUICK scheme by any means. This is a proper, structured business model and it takes hard work. Yes, a lot of hard work at first for almost no reward, then as time goes on the work gets less and the rewards get bigger. But not until you have learnt the skills and built the foundations.

Facebook Revisited (Again)

2011-08-05T00:19:00.001-06:00

I have just completed a 59 (Yes 59) video instructional course on how to use (correctly), manipulate, add-on, create, utilize etc etc etc Facebook. It has taken just about 10 days to complete and I think I am just about "Facebooked out".

I have made hundreds of scribbly notes and i am going to have to type them up into something readable. I am so keen now to get on and move onto my next course (Auto-Responders) but as it is 5 minutes to midnight it would be pretty much pointless. It looks like another late night again and I am yawning as I am typing so I apologise if there are any typos.

I am trying to keep to some sort of plan with this training but it seems to lead me from topic to topic as I need the information, its no logical order apart from feeding me the information as i need it to complete the next task. I do feel though at the moment that even though I have a huge knowledge of Facebook, there is so much more that I have touched on but not really looked into. Tomorrow night I may just go back through some key points and revisit some areas that we skipped over. One of these areas is "Apps", some of those things are amazing and i want to explore them some more.

Anyway I just wanted to keep you up to date with the training, so here's Lyndon logging out.

Till next time............

Road Trip Kalispell

2011-07-31T23:42:00.000-06:00

This weekend is a long weekend, we seem to have loads of them in Canada which is nice. However, I have to admit that I have neglected my Internet business due to other commitments. Yesterday we drove down into Montana to recover a friend's vehicle, this turned out to be a 14 hour task.

We left at 11:00 Saturday morning with a 3/4 tonne Dodge Ram Cummins and an 18 foot car hauler, our destination was Kalispell, Montana, and our task was to recover a Cheverolet Avalanche with a suspected seized engine. It was 02:30 Sunday morning when we finally got back home to Raymond Alberta, it was a tough day but we "Got R Done".

The journey started off well, we headed off down to the US border with the empty trailer........ then lined up to cross for just over 2 hours. We finally got our I-94 visas and headed South for Browning. The route was up and down and round and round the mountains so we could not really make good time.

When we eventually got to the Dealership to collect the car we found that they had not left us enough space to maneuver the trailer to get the truck loaded. After a lot of cussing and sweating we finally got the truck into a position where we could use the "Come along" (a type of hand cranked winch) to pull the stricken truck backwards up on to the trailer. My wife did an excellent job of steering and i operated the winch, i am so glad we managed to get in on there on the first attempt (great job Jan).

The temperature as at about 37 degrees so you could imagine how hot and bothered we were by the time the truck was loaded and i had chained the thing down. Before we headed North we stopped off at a Subway for the biggest drink they did and i must have emptied it twice before my thirst was quenched.

So with the truck on the trailer and a belly full of Iced (and I mean iced) Tea we set off for Alberta. Half way back we had a blow-out on the trailer, and guess what, the trailer had no tools. I managed to get the wheel off using the tools from the truck and luckily a passer-by stopped and his wheel brace fitted the spare wheel carrier. Within the hour we were off again, by now the border crossing at Carway was closed so we had to head for Sweetgrass which added another 2 hours to the journey.

The border crossing at Sweetgrass was interesting, I pulled up to the boothe and I was promptly asked why i was in the US. I told them i was recovering a vehicle for a friend. The next question asked if the trailer or the Dodge belong to me, so I was trying to cross the border in a truck that did not belong to me, towing a trailer that did not belong to me, carrying a truck that also did not belong to me. So, dear reader, do you think that Canada's finest were going to wish me a "Good Night" and send me on my merry way. Well the simple answer is NO.

She (the Border Guard) was actually very understanding although she did ask a lot of questions to which i did not have very good answers (apparently). So we were invited to come into the building and explain why a British national was driving a truck which belonged to a friend, was towing a trailer (rented) and carrying a truck to which I had the license documents but could not remember the surname of the owner..... at 01:30 in the morning, trying to get from USA to Canada.

It took about 20 minutes for her to search the (recovered) vehicle for contraband which i completely agreed with and was actually very impressed with her diligence. She then wished us a "Good Morning" and we were off on the last leg of our journey to Raymond.

So we hit Raymond at just before 02:30, parked up at the bottom of the drive, went in the house and immediately cracked open a "Cold One".

What a day !!!!!

So, as for Internet Marketing, all I have done this weekend is this post..... and i have added a SPLASH page to my Facebook page. Please go and check it out at >>>CLICK HERE<<< and please let me know what you think of it. If you haven't been to my Facebook page before you will automatically land on the SPLASH page, if you have and have LIKED the page you will go to the WALL so please look over at the TABS (Wall, Info, Photos, etc) and you will see FBTDiFRAME...... just click on it.

Anyway, please note that i do appreciate any feedback (good or not so good) and I will catch you all in the next post.

Facebook Page

2011-07-28T00:37:00.002-06:00

The Face book page is now up and running correctly and you can find it at FACE BOOK PAGE. I hope you appreciate all these links that I am putting in for you. I have tried to lay them out so as we are talking about a particular topic you can RIGHT CLICK on the link and open it up in another window. I hope this works okay for people who use one monitor, because i am always referring between sites and tinkering around with graphics I tend to use two monitors, it just makes life a little easier and gives me more work space.

So anyway, back to the FB (Face book) page. I am desperately trying to get 25 people to go onto the page and hit the LIKE button. The reason for this is that all FB pages are issued with a generic URL address which is usually pretty ugly (there's an Oxymoron for you LOL) Once you get 25 LIKES on a page they allow you to change it to make it a little more pleasant.

If anyone reading this would go onto the FACE BOOK PAGE and hit the LIKE I would be very grateful. I have just had a look on the page and it seems as though we are nearly there, however, please go take a look anyway and if you do like hit the hit the key, that way you can also keep up to date with whats going on here through your NEWS FEED.

I had all good intentions tonight, I was going to create a SPLASH page for the FB page but I got home from work and crashed on the sofa for an hour or 2, I hate doing that but i was soooo tired. It is just about 10 minutes past midnight now and i am pretty much wide awake, i hope i can get back to sleep later on.

Just as a matter of interest, the weather is still nice and warm although we had a little bit of rain today, at least we could turn the AC off for a little while this evening....... what I mean is the wife could switch it off because i was fast asleep.

So tomorrow night i am determined to make a start on that SPLASH page. Chris Farrell has got some templates on his membership site but i really want to take the extra time and create my own. If I make a mess of it I can always go back and use Chris's.

Anyhoo folks, here's me, logging out, speak to you all tomorrow..... don't forget to go onto the FB page and hit the LIKE button... LOL...... thanks guys.

Kananaskis Country - Backwoods Haven

2011-07-26T20:00:00.002-06:00

I know i said was was going to do some work but i thought i would just share this with you. This last weekend you may have noticed that there was not much going on in the world of Lyndon's Internet Marketing. That was because we were off camping, that is one of the joys of living in Southern Alberta.

What a fantastic weekend, we had arranged to meet up with some friends and friends of friends on a Group Campsite deep in the middle of nowhere. We arrived at just before midnight on the Friday night and we were the last of the group to arrive. naturally there was food waiting for us when we got there and as we walked into the Host's trailer they were already popping the tops off some cold beers for us.

The days were packed full of hiking, fishing, napping, cycling and exploring.... With the evenings consisting mainly of rich luxurious food (most infused with alcohol) drinks and great company. The nicest thing about the venue was that it was so far into the wilderness that there was no Internet, TV signal or even cell phone signal, we were completely isolated....... it was great.

Do you know what was the really exciting part of the deal?

My business was still working even though I had taken the weekend off.

Sit back and reflect

2011-07-26T19:38:00.000-06:00

Monday evening and it is still very warm in southern Alberta. I was going to dive straight in to customising one of my Face book pages but i thought i would take time out to just reflect on what has happened in my "Marketing Life" since May 1st 2011 when i first decided that i was going to take responsibility for my own destiny.

The first post in this Blog feels very scary now, i wish i could take you back to how it first looked. There were no pictures or links, no clever little graphics and the top banner hadn't even been thought of.

Well just 3 short months later you can see how the blog has transformed. I have tried to create portals into resources that allow you to practice all the things we have talked about. My wife and I have been doing the Online Opinions which were quite fun and that bought in some earnings and we have completed some mystery shops which again bought in more revenue and we have also had some very nice free meals in some very nice restaurants.

My first squeeze page is set up and operational, this is where my main business come from, my auto responder is deep rooted within my online presence. This was one of the first things I did and it was done through the FREE EBOOK link over on the left hand side.

I have really bought into the Social Media thing and now i am regularly face booking and tweeting and my face book pages are up and running. The next thing on the agenda is to fully customize my face book pages, I just need to learn a new piece of free software and just watch that baby transform. I am really starting to believe that this this is actually going to work, I hope so because i have put so much time and effort into this.

So..... what's next?

Well those Killer Video Squeeze Pages have got me really fired up, I took a good look at the content that's offered and I am really going to milk that website. If my calculations are correct then I should be able to have 2 more websites and all attached stuff set up within the next month so my business will triple in size. I would love to say that I will be able to get 3 websites up but i doubt whether i will be able to do that and generate traffic too.

Well my friends, that is where we are at for the moment, i am working on this almost every night and the learning curve feels as though it is getting steeper all the time. So I think that is enough Blogging for tonight, its back to the studying and hopefully I should be able to start creating the face book graphics tonight or tomorrow night.

Kindest Regards

Killer Video Squeeze Pages

2011-07-24T20:57:00.001-06:00

I have just discovered an AWESOME product...

Killer Video Squeeze Pages is unbelievable. When i first went into the website I didn't really know what to expect, apart from the fact that this site was supposed to take my marketing to a whole new level.

Well, I clicked on the link and watched the video, then I watched the video again... and then I watched the video again. This guy is mirroring everything i have just spent 3 months learning... and in his membership site he is offering to build a business for you.

He will build the Squeeze Pages for products in a profitable niche, show you how to upload and get it all set up with all the attached banners, graphics and these Squeeze Pages even have video in them.

I am so excited about this I just had to share it.....

For anyone out there reading this who has any interest in creating an Internet Business, or even already has a business...... do yourself a favour and click on any of the links in this post, they will all take you to the same place.

Just listen to what this guy has to say and what he has to offer. This is the closest thing I have ever seen to a Business-In-A-Box.

I make no apologies for filling this post with links, this guy even selects the products for you to sell based on profitability and gravity.

Needless to say I am already on this particular Band waggon but remember the Internet Marketing industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and there is room for us all.

New Design for the Blog

2011-07-19T00:29:00.000-06:00

I thought we would have a change of colour scheme.

Let me know what you think ???

FOREX - The path to your fortune, maybe?

2011-07-18T20:24:00.015-06:00

One of my long term interests has been the FOREX (or Foreign Exchange) market. I have always been fascinated with the ways that different currencies gain and lose value against each other depending on the economic or financial situations that present them selves over time.

You must have heard stories on the news about house builds, employment rates and interest rates. Well believe it or not they are all part of an intricate international web that lives, breathes and moves 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. The whole world shares responsibility as control passes from nation to nation to keep the whole thing stretching and contracting right round the clock.

The most important factor in this huge, all powerful monster is that each nation has a currency and there are entities out there that make each currency either stronger or weaker as the events unfold.

Here is where you and I may profit because we can speculate (another word for bet) that one currency will get stronger over another. We then enter the market with a stake, and as the exchange rate alters into our favour we make money, that is the theory anyway.

Many people have made a lot of money this way and the nice thing about it is that you only need a small amount of "Stake" money to get started. Most trading software products have got Safety Stops built in just in case you do make a wrong decision and it will limit the losses.

Like i say I have been doing this for a number of years and i find it absolutely fascinating, I remember starting with $200 and within a few hours i had closed out my first trade for $10. Not exactly ground breaking but i had just made $10 out of thin air... that's what I found exciting.....

Mostafa Belkhayate is a renowned FOREX Trader who is ready to share his secret of how to extract money from the FOREX Market. Please note that this link is really intended for those who already trade the FOREX or have a basic working knowledge of the processes involved and are ready to take their trading to a whole new level.

Now i realise that the will be lots of people out there who want to learn FOREX or maybe that just need a little information about exactly what this phenomenon is and how to get started in FOREX.

Well my friends this is the section for you, here is a site that will give you a nice easy introduction to FOREX and give you the direction to be a successful FOREX trader in the future.

Wow, i have found a book that I read a while ago and i found it to be a huge benefit. Any of you who have been trading a while will need no introductions for Bird Watching In Lion Country. Probably one of the greatest FOREX books ever written.

Beer Can Chicken

2011-07-17T18:42:00.000-06:00

So we are taking a few hours off from the Internet Marketing and what better way to enjoy a summer afternoon than a BBQ.

Here is a novelty idea that i picked up the other day

Recipe for BEER CAN CHICKEN........

Take 1 medium sized chicken and roll (the chicken) in your favourite herds and spices.

Please note: ensure that the chicken is dead, plucked and drawn for the next part as using a live chicken could get very messy and is probably illegal in most States and Provinces.

Take a beer can from the cooler and pop the ring pull.

Insert the beer can into the ass of the chicken, being careful not to spill the beer.

Place the can onto a tray and place on the BBQ or in the oven.

Now the heat will boil the beer which in turn will cook the chicken from the inside out. The added bonus is that the chicken is also infuzed with the beer marinade.

ENJOY !

Time- Out ! Change of pace.

2011-07-17T18:28:00.000-06:00

Okay my friends, this Blog has been about WORK, WORK, WORK. I think we all know what sort of work ethic we need to make this Internet Marketing thing work. We bust our buns building websites and searching out products to sell so that one day our hard work will pay off and we can relax a little.

With that in mind I think we need a little change of pace here. Now probably in your "other" lives where you have to go to work to pay the bills that usually means stepping it up a gear. Well here is where we are going to do the opposite, we are going to step it down a gear.

We are still going to have some late nights and we are still going to spend countless hours rewriting and redesigning our splash pages and squeeze pages and we are still going to STUDY, STUDY, STUDY. But now we are going to introduce some completely OFF TOPIC posts. Lets throw a few interesting ideas out there too, its pointless striving to make more money without actually enjoying life.

Just read the quote below from Mark Anastasi's FB Auto Cash and see for yourself how to unleash the power of FB:

That's just how powerful this thing is. It's like unleashing tidal wave of traffic, sending floods of income into your bank account every single day.

Think about it logically for a second - Facebook gets more traffic than Google, and has over 600 million members who regularly log in to interact.

If Facebook was a country, it would have the 3rd biggest population in the world...

... and be twice as big as the United States.

Seriously - Facebook has twice as many users as live in the whole USA. Insane huh?

So that's what makes this so incredibly profitable for everybody... if you take a massive supply of hot, targeted traffic like that, and add the simplest, easiest way to turn that into money you've ever seen...

... you're left with a devastatingly simple, easy way to crank out the moolah, over and over again, with no cost, no complications, and best of all, no disappointments, because it actually WORKS.

The 4 step system that made me easy Facebook cash within HOURS... no exaggeration, and it's so simple your KIDS could do it for you (more on this in a second, you're going to love it)

How to make the easiest, most dependable affiliate commissions you've ever made, starting today... and also, how to make it easily repeatable so you're finally in charge of your own income

Why Facebook holds the key to the most targeted, widely available and profitable traffic you've ever seen - you'll see how to harness it, how to make money with it, and best of all, it's all FREE - no paid traffic ever

How to start from Ground Zero with my Basic Strategy (usually worth $1000-$5000 a month), and expand until you're at the proficiency level of my other students, who now between $1,200 to $25k+ every month... and even that's only the beginning! (I've implemented several things recently that have near doubled my income.)

The 3 things you must have to make money online... yes there really are only 3, and if you've failed so far, I GUARANTEE it was because one of these was missing (nobody else will reveal this undeniable truth to you)

How you can throw together a "profit funnel" (more on that later) in less than an afternoon that will be generating you a fat income for months and years... Best Part? You can create a completely unlimited number

The secrets behind making your new internet business "set and forget" - if you want something that makes you money while you sleep, this is stuff you must understand - without it you'll be just trading time for money

How to skip all the hard parts and get right into the easy money-making sweet spot... seriously, I'll show you how to skip weeks and months of struggles that other people go through, and instead move straight into the fun, profitable stuff...

Why every one of your Facebook friends may already be worth 26 cents a month to you... doesn't sound like much, but if you've got a lot of friends, it adds up REAL fast – especially once you have multiple accounts and funnels running... (and with a few tweaks, they're worth even more... each 'fan' was worth $1.97 to me last month!)

How I turned my Facebook friends into a $100,000 (or more) a year income... and to be perfectly honest about it, this stuff is so viciously effective, $100k a year might be lowballing what I'll make from it the rest of this year!..

How I Became An Internet Marketer

2011-07-10T13:18:00.000-06:00

Okay here's my story!

First of all let me explain something to you, I live a fairly comfortable life, I am a family man and I have a nice stable job in an excellent company and I am happy. We live in a lovely little township in Alberta, Canada and we have great neighbours and friends. The problem is that all my life I have tried to improve my life and the lives of my friends, neighbours and family, I am always looking for opportunities to increase my financial position. Also, none of us are getting any younger and we have to think about our retirement. This maybe a few years or a few decades away but eventually we all (if we live that long) have to face the fact that one day we will no longer be working and no longer have our comfortable incomes.

So, as i have said in earlier posts i have tried a few projects, some i did quite well in (Amway for example) and some i got really excited in, read countless books, took countless courses and eventually made a small amount of money. However, here i am, still getting up every morning, still driving to work everyday.... and YES I still have finance on one of my vehicles.

I see other people driving fantastic brand new vehicles towing huge trailers (camping is a passion of mine) or i drive passed a lake and i see families out on the water in fantastic watercraft, jet skis, powerboats, yachts. I see the older folks out there on the campsites that we use, and they have retired with enough money to live comfortably and do the things they want to do without worrying about the money running out. And i am sorry folks but i am thinking "I want some of that".

Okay that is a big dream and it may never happen, but here is a thought for you:

If you have a DREAM , then how could you ever hope to achieve it without at least heading in that direction.

Well, a few weeks ago, i decided that I was going to try and earn a hundred or so bucks per month that i could use to upgrade one of our family vehicles. A hundred bucks would make up a nice part of the monthly payments. So I got involved with completing Online Surveys, this was actually great fun and sometimes the companies will even send you out samples for you to assess and keep. I still do this now although we haven't swapped the car yet, i do a few in the evenings and the companies either pay by check or the cash goes straight into the Pay Pal account.

While i was starting up in the surveys i stumbled upon Mystery Shopping, i looked into it and signed up with some websites. This pays a lot more than doing the surveys but there is so much more involved. If a company is paying you to go into restaurant and paying for your meal too, they sure do have high expectations for what they get back in return. When i do a shop or eat in a restaurant I have to send in my report when i get home and sometimes they have to be in the same night, a report can take anything from 30 to 90 minutes and they do expect a quality report.

Now the secret with both surveys and mystery shops is to sign up with multiple companies, check them out over a few weeks then cut away the dead wood and concentrate on the good ones. With the surveys for example, i was signed up with 25 companies at one point but half of them never gave me any work and some of them were very slow to build up credits. Those are the companies that are now in my recycle bin. It is the same with the Mystery shops, i am with 3 good companies now and they give me enough work to keep me busy. Oh, by the way I sorted that little issue out with a certain restaurant and will be in there over the next few evenings. I would love to tell you how i solved this but that little gem is going to be my little trade secret for now LOL.

I was while I was researching the mystery shopping I came across a website that completely changed everything I was doing. Even though i was very skeptical about the whole thing the start up and running costs were pocket change so I thought "Why not". This website can be found on the left side of this page just under the top banner, it says START HERE ! or you could click on the link that i have just placed.

You will see that i have done a little adapting to the site, obviously there is way too much information to give you on a splash page so it is designed to give you a FREE eBook which gives you a place to start. It is really clever the way it has been designed because to can take a real good look at this and even try some of the stuff out.... All for free.

Please remember though that we are talking about the tip of the iceberg here, Internet Marketing is a huge multi-billion dollar industry, practically every commodity or service on the planet has been touched by this industry. What i find really exciting is that you can market your own products or there are millions of products and services out there on the 'net that you can market for commission.

On top of all that, the Internet is only 15 years old, it is in its infancy so all of this is relatively new. Imagine building a business of your own, maybe one day even becoming your primary income.

And it all started with a CLICK

Saturday Mystery Shopping

2011-07-09T11:47:00.000-06:00

Today we have 2 mystery shops to do, nothing very interesting (meaning they are not restaurants) but they do pay $30 each. One is where we shop anyway so its no big deal, its amazing that once you have done a few you just read through the instruction notes then shop normally, you just have to be super observant and watch out for the things that were highlighted.

I will start building my second website this weekend which i am looking forward to. This one is going to take a little time because i am planning to do all the graphics myself. However, we all know about the best laid plans don't we.

One thing i have noticed in the last 7 weeks is that my whole attitude to life has changed and also i feel a lot more confident in everything i do. I look for opportunity in everything and i don't just mean marketing or the Internet. My day job involves a lot of thinking on your feet and problem solving, it is almost impossible to plan your day because you have to react as issues come in, lately i feel as though i am able to approach issues from different angles.

Oh no.... just received some bad news, i was hoping to mystery shop a restaurant tonight. I knew i was being cheeky because we went there a couple of weeks ago and you need to have a 2 month gap. They said NO... that is a huge shame because that one had a $80 price tag on it, that is so annoying.

There are loads of these in Medicine Hat and Calgary but its just too far to travel for a meal or a shop. Saying that (its too late for this week) but i could hitch up the travel trailer and drive up to the particular city for the weekend, take in about 4 or 5 shops and then head back Sunday afternoon.

By the way if anyone lives in a major city in Canada I would be interested in this then leave a comment or drop me an email and i will introduce you to the company i work for, however if you live in Lethbridge forget it because all the shops are mine, yes all mine, mine, mine........... HA-HA only joking of course...

Results at last

2011-07-07T22:16:00.000-06:00

Woo Hoo, at last I am off the ground, the earnings are slowly trickling in. Its not much but i really don't care, most of it goes straight to Pay Pal which i prefer as it is there pretty much instantly but unfortunately some of the sources are paying by check. This is not so good considering the Postal strike that we have just endured but never mind, after all money is money.

So....... what are we reaping in after 6 weeks of studying every evening and loads of late or sleepless nights ???

Weeeelllll, a $10 followed by a $10 followed by a $20 followed by a $93 followed by 2x $15 and a $25. There is also a Check for $20 out there somewhere but i haven't received it yet, probably thanks to the postal strike. Also there is $20 waiting to be sent over to Pay Pal but i'm not expecting to see that for a couple of weeks yet.

Tonight i managed to secure another 4 Mystery shops (shall we call them Gigs coz it sounds cool LOL) Okay so i have 4 shopping gigs booked. I would love to tell you about them but i can't, but being paid to go out for a meal (and have the meal paid for) makes it taste so much nicer. I have a fantastic story about a previous mystery shopping experience that i really wish i could share with you....... maybe one day in the not too distant future.

So that's where we are, 6 weeks in, $228 up, learnt some new skills.... and guess what...... the temperature has dropped a little so i might get a better nights sleep tonight.

See you all soon !

Working in the heat

2011-07-06T20:41:00.000-06:00

Evening folks, well it is 28 degrees outside and hot, hot, hot. The windows are open in the office, the net curtain pinned back and the fan is on full, in the other rooms the AC is fired up but this room never seems to cool down for some reason.

Over the last few weeks i have learned so much about websites, auto-responders, Splash Pages, Squeeze Pages, Opt In Forms, C-Panels and all the other stuff that you need to know. I now see Facebook, Titter and Linked-In in a totally different light. I just thought FB was a place to post pictures and make witty comments, wow that thing is huge and i never realised that there was so much going on behind the scenes.

Incidentally, there is an urban legend that states that Mark Zuckerberg invented FB as a way to meet girls. Zuckenberg, a Harvard computer science student did in fact design the social media network to be a sort of "Hot or Not" type of site where photos of fellow student could be compared. The said photos were "Hacked" from the Dormitory computer files. This little prank earned him a place in history as the worlds youngest multi billionaire.

In 2004, an angel investor, Sean Parker (founder of Napster) became the company's president. The company changed the name from TheFacebook to just Facebook after purchasing the domain name facebook.com in 2005 for $200,000.

Time to update the blog

2011-07-03T17:34:00.000-06:00

Yesterday I spent 3 hours studying and it was stuff I had done before but this was a bit of consolidation. For me this is the hardest part of the studying because I love learning new stuff but I hate revising existing skills.

Today however, I have been redesigning the blog. I purposely made it very plain and sparse at the beginning because i wanted to see it grow from nothing. That first post really said it all, i started with nothing and hat meant no income, no websites, and basically no knowledge. Now i feel as though i have my foot on that first rung of the ladder.

One thing i haven't done yet is buying any books. Practically all of the information I have is from the Chris Farrell Website. I am pretty sure that i will be buying some marketing books soon but for the moment I have more than enough information to keep me going.

I am pleased to say that I have started to see a small amount of money trickling into my Pay Pal account which is nice. It doesn't justify all the hours I have put into this by any means but i am quite happy just to see some results. I am constantly being reminded that this is not just an instant money project and the business has to be nurtured.

I have finally figured out how to link face book, Twitter and Linked In to the log now and i am quite pleased with the result. The Blog banner was a product of some off the cuff inspiration, i am thinking that the colour theme for this site should be green and grey, i wanted an image to show that the sky is the limit so what better than clouds.... and green clouds add to the surreal nature of this business... making something out of nothing.

Just a quick question

2011-06-29T00:01:00.000-06:00

Ah I just remembered, there was something i was thinking about on the drive home from work tonight. First the question because i need to gauge the interest to see if it would be of interest to anyone.

Is anyone out there who is reading this blog, already an internet marketer or interested in getting into internet marketing. The reason i ask is because i think i may have a traffic generating idea. Please vote in the poll opposite and if enough people are interested then i will make it happen. Don't worry it isn't going to to cost you anything but it will benefit us all (i think it will anyway)

Not much to say tonight

2011-06-28T23:48:00.000-06:00

I was going to study tonight but unfortunately LIFE got in the way. I had to cut the lawns which took over an hour even on my trusty lawn tractor....... (sorry i meant to say rusty lawn tractor) its an old Husky, im not even sure how old it is but it gets the job done any way. So once that was done we had to bag up all the grass and out comes the weed whacker.

After that little lot i was so hot and bothered there was only one thing to do. I stuck the hose pipe in the hot tub to cool the water down and just dived in..... AAAH Bliss.

So here i am, sat in front of the computer and it is 20 minutes to midnight. Looks like there's no studying happening tonight.

Last night was a little better and i did some work on the snowbird site, the video wasn't working for some reason so i had to find a later template. Well i managed to get that fixed and now my darn photograph has disapeared. Tomorrow night i am determined to get that fixed and also for those who have downloaded the eBook. I hate the look of that link at the bottom of the page but there is something i can do about that to make it look a bit better.

Anyway its just about bedtime so here's me signing off and i will see you all in the next post.

Building a network

2011-06-26T16:37:00.000-06:00

Today i intended to spend all day studying how to generate traffic but sadly i got side tracked again and i ended up generating traffic for real. When i first got into this IM industry i was told that there were "Get Rich Schemes" and millions of empty promises but the only real way to make any kind of respectable income was to build it like an off line business.

What they meant by that was....... this is not some magical system for making money, its not a case of tap a few keys in the right order and the money will start appearing out of the DVD draw like some sort of ATM.

Well i am starting to appreciate what they meant now, it's not that i am keen and eager to start making money, but i am stunned by the enormity of what you have to do. I am the sort of person who gets completely absorbed in a project, an erthquake could happen right next to me and i would not notice.

I have alreadt racked up hundreds of hours building the foundations of this business and i feel as though i am just scratching the surface. One simple task that i pick up from a mentor or a more experienced marketer seems to take hours to accomplish. However, i will say that every time you do something to your business or network, you do see little results which are hugely satisfying.

Today i have been working with Face Book, again i am just scratching the surface of what is possible but i have a real sense of acomplishment. If you have a moment please go take a look at my FB page, here's a link to make it easier for you >>> CLICK <<<

It's early days yet with the page and, just like this Blogsite, i really don't know where this is going to take me. Remember what i said in the first post about this being a brand new venture, and i have no knowledge or what to do next?

Well, believe me when i say that all this is being done right off the cuff, i am learning this as i go along. I learn something new, i practice it, then i implement it........

Exciting isn't it ?
