It started for me when I told a few friends that I was thinking of sending in an audition video for my own show on Oprah’s new online TV channel. I had this idea of helping women in business learn how to get their businesses online in a simple and effective way.

Everyone was encouraging, but I found out that I would have to become a permanent resident of the USA. That would mean leaving or uprooting my family, and that simply was not an option for me.

But then, as a result of broadcasting my dreams to my friends and associates, the opportunities started to be offered. One of those opportunities was to run the interview channel for another friend’s dream business, that she’s been wanting to launch for several years.

We found that we shared a similar dream of a fabulously simple set of video interviews and tutorials for the masses of women in business who are quite honestly, getting left behind in the internet age, and struggling to cope.  We shared a dream of being able to recommend internet providers (such as web designers and online assitants) that had been tested and proven.  Both of us had been ripped off or disappointed by the cowboys in this industry so many times.

We shared a common dream of helping women all over the world to find financial freedom, and work life balance. We share a love of the hottest technologies and the most amazing marketing strategies with integrity.

So, tonight, after just a few weeks of planning, we combined all our existing resources, and those that I just picked up at the most amazing internet training I’ve ever attended, (will post about that when it’s ready to launch too). Tonight I started asking the most amazing and influencial women I know to become our panel experts, and so far everyone has said ABSOLUTELY!

So now we have Danette Hibberd, BeTheExpertAcademy.com, (CEO), and Kylie Bartlett, TheWebCeleb, the Expert on building your brand and making money using Facebook and video marketing. We also welcomed Aggie Kobrin, of OffHollywoodMedia, and EWomen’s Network, Braveheart Women, and CECEvents. Plus Silva Mirzoian, of US companies, Jump Start Your Life, and Gang of Hope, she also runs a charitable foundation, www.passionsdreams.org, dedicated to empowering women.

We have invited some other amazing women to be on the panel, (just organised a time to talk to Loral Langemeier - the money goddess) and have already started to build some serious momentum.

The secret? Just DO IT! Make some commitments, put yourself on the line, and then make it happen. I learned a valuable lesson today, poverty is being afraid to step out of your comfort zone and maybe even fail.

Wealth is so many things other than zeros in a bank account, not the least of which is daring to do something really noble and ask others with proven track records to come on board!

Dream it! Live it! Love it!!

As I was navigating my way through New York City today, from buzzing Manhattan to trendy Greenwich Village and then to the elegant Upper West Side, I noticed that although I saw a lot of people shopping, I didn’t see many women dressed like the ladies from the now legendary Sex And The City.  In fact I felt a little overdressed in a ruffled designer blouse and mini.  My main priority was not getting knocked down or crashed into as I navigated through the crowds, and as my feet got more and more sore from the pavement, I started to really notice  how the locals were dealing with the problem and I noticed that leather and metallic flat soled sandals seemed to be the fashion solution.

So then I got to thinking about the TV shows and movies we ladies generally soak up with glee, drinking in the impossible glamour and delicious fashion of beauty queens breezing around in the highest of high heels, and marching through their highly dramatic days in the most outrageous costumes.  I can tell you that I got approached by far more than one too many smelly, breast gawping would be ‘penniless’ suitor and probable con man, and  would not have liked to be dressed in anything more attention seeking than I was wearing.

So why do we do it?

I think it’s a throw back from our time as cave dwellers.  I think that hurling ourselves into the throng of the great unknown and possibly dangerous crowd of vigorous bargain hunters, is like leaving the cave to collect for the tribe.  We are all hoping to find some treasure, something special we can share, and if we’re very lucky, a ‘peacock’ suit that will transform us to be worn in the safety of our more protective, own tribe environment.  Today I witnessed a woman who’d been punched in the face, and a man get thrown off his cycle onto his poor head and an unsuspecting pedestrian, by a careless passing executive who did what he probably always does,  threw open his taxi door!

But like the most of the crowd around me, I stopped to be sure they were being cared for, marvelled that the police seem to be unafraid and everywhere, and then I pressed on into the  melee and into the shops to please my young.

New York City seems to have a lot of areas like this, full of eager throngs of busy shoppers, but although I don’t do this often, I know there are plenty just as busy in Los Angeles, Hong Kong,  London, Sydney and Melbourne too.  What will we do with all this stuff as a society?    What now that it’s all getting cheaper and cheaper, and the homes we can afford to live in are getting smaller and smaller?

On the subway a young couple who used to work together discussed how a mutual friend lived with his wife and children in a studio apartment with a wall mounted pull down bed apparently making it all possible.  They discussed if they could live like that in exchange for the commute.   They decided that one could probably get used to anything…

but I don’t think my feet could ever get used to dancing around this city in super high heels!  I guess once you figured out what were the right times of day to go out and which streets were going the right direction you could get cabs to let you in to take you places, but if I lived like that I don’t think I could afford the shopping!!

So ladies, my insight today was that Hollywood is still Hollywood and they do love to paint a pretty picture and sell us a bit of glamor… even if we think we’re looking at the ‘real’ fabulous New York of Gossip Girl and SATC ….  none of us needs to spend all our money on shoes and accessories …. and if we find ourselves doing so, perhaps it’s time for a break from the shops and some time working on our inner beauty, and where we can be making a change in the world that gives us greater and more lasting impact and joy.

Love to you from fabulous Manhattan, (which I am LOVING by the way!)

So far so great!  Once we had decided to come to the US this school holidays, I started finding the best deal on the tickets.  All the usual airlines were out of the question, much too EXPENSIVE!  They wanted nearly $10,000 for the three of us.

So I thought about all the frequent flyer points I have from years ago choosing frequent flyer program credit cards.  I found out that my usual trick of booking a flight on Qantas, and then choosing to pay for it in points was out because Qantas no longer takes Westpac Frequent Flyer points.  However, after over an hour of waiting to get through for a travel agent at Altitude,( the Westpac FF program), very helpful Sylvia got me a much better deal with Delta Airlines, and I was able to pay for our International flights and travel insurance completely with points, and at a total much closer to normal non-school holiday fares.

However,

I did make one mistake and chose to book my New York hotel through Expedia.com.au and since have found that this is a huge problem once you’re in the US and can’t get their website to work properly.

You have to call Australia for any customer support, and don’t expect to get much, even though you’re paying for an international call.  They gave me rude and appalling customer service and didn’t even try to address the technical issues of their website not seeing my booking, even though they can see it – luckily it did sent me a confirmation email, so I know the booking went through.

As the room I’d booked through Expedia.com.au was non refundable and they would entertain no options for changing the dates, other than me rebooking and losing my money (no thank you – not an attractive choice – and a good reason to never book through them again),  I ended up rearranging my whole trip and booking all further flights directly through Southwest Airlines, who are simply awesome.  I had to change the flights a few times, and they are just amazingly helpful.  You won’t find their flights listed on the other travel sites, so you’ve got to know to go to www.Southwest.com and book your flights directly for great fares, and the best customer service.

My mum took me to the AAA Autoclub and they are brilliant, they plotted and printed me a whole trip plan for the road trip portion of our trip, as a member service (membership is very reasonable), and maps and tourist books for all the states on my route plan.   The maps have been a great help for understanding and planning the trip out.

I have found using the Expedia.com website to find the hotels is good, because I could specify the number of travellers and thus the actual amount of beds per room, (something the other sites often didn’t let me do), and then booking the hotels and cars through www.Priceline.com who usually have better prices and I have found to have great customer service.  I found that the Expedia.com customer support was not much better than the Expedia.com.au horror, and that the hotels can’t help you directly if the booking has been made through Expedia.

So far I have saved around $10,000 on the trip by going through Priceline and Southwest, and if you add the flight fares of an additional $6,000 to $9,500  by using my points through the Altitude program, I am very pleased with the results of a few hours of online research.

If you have only two to a room, you can even save a further 50% on the hotel rooms by letting Priceline.com match you with a surprise hotel to your specifiations, but there were 3 of us and I didn’t want to risk getting a room with inadequate bedding for us all.  Having stayed in New York before, I know that many of those hotel rooms are VERY SMALL!

I have been advised that some travel agencies will match or better online fares too, so let me know if you know of any who do!

Will post more travel tips as I learn them on my journey.   Finding it hard to think about work, but doing some great networking and looking at some amazing US women’s organisations who would like to come to Australia.

Dream it!  Live it!  Love it!

I read an article last week in the Sydney Telegraph newspaper saying it now requires $100,000 a year to make ends meet.  Where does this leave those of us living in the cities these days?   I am typing this lying under 2 of those wonderful blankets made out of recycled plastic bottles, because I don’t want to waste resources by heating my whole lounge room.

Every entrepreneur, to achieve any amount of success should be motivated enough to carry them through the long haul.  Motivation comes from passion. Every book published or e-book that deals in money making and motivation screams passion – the most important ingredient required by any successful entrepreneur.

Similarly, when you think about going after that extra income, you have to create a burning passion to do so. It will keep your fire glowing for a long time, at least till the first results become apparent. After that passion at a particular level keeps in rotation, after all money is a big motivator.

An entrepreneur embarking upon the route of home office and extra income should strongly believe in themself and their capabilities.  You’ll have to be thick skinned enough not to be put off  by others comments and opinions.  People will not always be supportive, and some will be downright disapproving or jealous.  Clear conscience and belief in oneself does not seek external approval.  The evidence that the effort was worth it will be enough that, once you are successful and start earning extra income, the negative opinions and nasty comments ironically turn to praise.  One should have the ability and courage to make independent decisions and abide by them. This will turn out be your most valuable asset over time.

If you choose an online businesses be prepared that popular opinion of people around you will be that you’ve been or are basically operating scams – and that seems to hold true in any part of the world.  Your online business needs your approval heart and soul; otherwise success will keep eluding you and so will the extra income you planned from it. If Edison did not believe, that electricity can be harnessed to light up human life; we would still be living in the dark ages, wouldn’t we?

Being flexible with working hours, being energetic, planning wisely, focusing on short-term objectives and stress control are hallmarks of a successful home business owner. If you think you lack in any of them, practice till you make these attributes a part of your involuntary senses.

Discipline to start is very important but to know where to stop is more important. Do not overwork or stress up yourself to the point of not stopping. It will only burn out your imagination and render you useless for some time to come. Making short time extra income, you will lose out on the next few dollars (ex: Burning out today may earn you $1000 today, but by not working for the next 3 days you will lose $500X3 =  $1500). Work the number of hours as per the plan you carefully laid out.

Building your business is more important than earning money out of it. As your business sustains and grows, the money you earn from it automatically grows. Treat the home business as your hobby and keep abreast of it through updated information. Knowledge earned does not cost a cent here but will help in decision making in all spheres of independent life.

Last but not the least, fear of failure and not failure itself leads to most failures. Keep trying, look at failure as a part of learning and appreciate your benefit of knowledge from it. Learn fro your mistakes, a lesson we have learnt in primary school.

Sadly, the last year, I haven’t had a garage to keep it in, and it has started to show signs of wear and tear. The leather seat has a hole where I’m a little shorter than the male driver they probably designed it for and the belt has worn right through the buttery soft leather.  The convertible top is getting a bit cantankerous and I’m not always sure that putting it down is going to be such a good idea!

But the car still drives like a dream, and tonight when researching niches for websites to build, I came across something that surprised me!  It seems you can get just about anything these days on eBay. I found that I could buy brand new replacement leather seats for my car on eBay!!  Not tacky faux leather, or the sheepskins you can get in the auto stores, but the lovely fitted ones that make a luxury car look and feel like a luxury car.

My son didn’t want to watch what was on TV tonight, so having had enough of the ads, he bought an entire 6 series set of his favourite show, NCIS tonight on eBay! So we’ll be having an NCIS Fest around here, and it was quite a bargain. (Check out a nifty little tool called eBay Auction Sniper, available for the Firefox browser.)

Before you buy things on impulse, check out what’s available on the internet these days, it’s really quite amazing what you can get ‘direct’. Now I just have to figure out who installs those lovely leather seat covers so they look all factory fitted!!  Oh, and then find someone to smooth that little dent out of the back from the other night…..

Don’t blow your dough on new cars, work it out – sometimes it’s cheaper to rent a car when you need them in the cities these days than to own one with all the taxes and road costs.

To your happiness and shopping success!

How are you? Did you have a wonderful weekend? I certainly did.  I got to spend 3 information filled days with the creme de la creme of the Sydney internet marketing industry. About 400 plus of us all sitting on the edge of our seats at the Sydney Masonic Centre as the great marketing master Armand Morin spilled out hours and hours of internet marketing expertise that he’s learned from his years online. He says modestly that these days his business turns over about $80 million dollars a year, but I suspect it is much more than that from some of the projects he is working on.

He identified the ‘billion dollar opportunity’ to be helping all the many thousands of offline businesses to develop sound online marketing and promotional support systems. My peers and I have been noticing for some time that the gap between the amount of people who need to take their business online and the number of online marketers to help them do that efficiently and correctly, is widening every year. The technology is moving so quickly, mainly as a result of the impact of the almighty Google, that many of the website providers are simply out of touch. This is compounded by the fact that most of them aren’t marketers or business /customer oriented thinkers to begin with.

Death of The Yellow Pages

I think we’d all agree that the days when a local business could build a clientele from a decent Yellow Pages ad is simply over. The Yellow Pages sold out to the highest bidder and became virtually useless to the end user – the person searching for a local business. Through their own poor choices they forced us to Google for our services, and now most of us would go there first, or to another Search Engine, that might be more to our preference.

If you have a local business, how are your customers finding you? This has become a serious concern for almost every SME business owner I know.

I’d like to start giving you some ideas for how you can better position your business online in order to be up to date with some of the new technology as it arises and I hear about it. Feel free to add in your advice too.

Today’s Marketing Tip -

Who’s Already Looking For You?

If you are in business, do you know what your customers type into a search engine to find your business? Start making a list of what that might be, and start asking your customers and adding what they say to your list. This will not only give you an insight into how your customers perceive the service you offer, it will also give you some search terms to research to find how you can best be advertising and promoting the business.

For instance, one of my clients recently asked me to help him design his website, and I showed him how to look for where the search traffic might already be of prospects looking for his service. He had a unique value proposition – 800 acres of unspoiled private land 2 hours North West of Sydney where 4wd clubs and enthusiasts could camp and socialize. We found that there were several search terms that were in high demand and where he had little competition. Using this information I showed him how we could design his website to address these topics that were already in demand, rather than having a lovely website that too few of his target clients would ever get to see.

Once you have identified some probable search terms for your business, you can type them into https://adwords.google.com.au/select/KeywordToolExternal?forceLegacy=true and see for yourself how many people locally and globally search for your service every month!

Dream it! Live it! Love it!

1. Creating An Online Business You Can Run From Anywhere

In my first post I was very excited because I had spent the day with one of the great internet success coaches from the US, Armand Morin, who has a massively successful online business.  This weekend I’m very excited to be spending three days training with the great man, and I expect to come out with a seriously expanded understanding of how one stands out in a very crowded marketplace.

A few months ago I became a contributing writer for www.MarketingMasterClub.com, a company I formed with a marketing expert, Alan Perkins, to help small businesses better communicate with their clients.   That business already has some really great clients, working with Alan,  and I’m ready for the next challenge.  A very exciting opportunity has been offered, and I look forward to telling you more next week!

I found this article in some of the material provided from Armand’s course and I hope it will be very useful to anyone thinking of starting their own online business.

In this article on creating and starting an online business, we are going to look at different ways of creating an online business for you.

There are many different online businesses that you can start but most of them come down to three broad categories which are:

selling products or services to retail customers,

selling on eBay,

and business-to-business selling.

When you are looking at creating and starting an online business, you’ll want to look at what your specialty is in creative business around one of these three broad categories.  If you decide that you want to sell to retail customers, you will have to find a way to sell your products or services in a different manner than many of the other retail websites out there.  If you decide that you want to sell on eBay, you’ll want to find a wholesale distributor of products where you can buy your products at a great discount.  If you already work within the business-to-business forum, this will be an easy transition for you.

Each of these three categories can be broken into but you must decide upon which of the three will focus.  Many people will decide to start an online business but have no idea where they should focus their efforts.  By focusing your efforts on one of these three categories, you’ll know in which direction to start.  If you decide to start with eBay, look for a wholesale distributor where you can buy your products of the great discount.  This is most effective for many startups because you do not have to buy the products in you can worry about selling online to people who want your product.  The people who want your product will be the ones who are bidding so that you know exactly what they want when the auction is over.  To find some wholesale distributors for you, look at the following website: www.worldwidebrands.com.

If you decide that you want to sell products or services to retail customers, try and find a niche that is underserved by your and your Internet competitors right now.  This is when the keys to creating a starting an online retail business because you want to find an area where there is little competition that you can dominate. To find some of these underserved niches, visit the following website: www.findhotniches.com.

Finally, if you decide that you want to do business to business selling, figure out how you can provide benefit to the particular market that you want to go after.  Many people work online as freelance writers and you are able to do this and potentially differ yourself from the competition if you market to one particular niche.  Business-to-business selling is similar to the retail strategy in that you want to focus upon a niche and try and dominate that niche.

Hopefully this article on creating and starting an online business gives you an idea on which of the three areas you would like to focus.  More to follow!

To your great success,

Dream it! Live it!  Love it!

1. How To Put Positive Cashflow Back in A Business
2. What Really happened In the Stock Market Last Week? So was it a Fat Finger?

After the fantastic event I attended last week with the Ample Wealth Group, where we heard the success stories of an ex minister making $2000 a month who decided to get financially educated, and within 18 months has a wealth base of around $20,000,000, and is growing the group exponentially, I got inspired!  I encourage you to join this group if they are in your local area, and you can contact me for more information.  But if you’d just like to start with something small, or a group of your own friends, then here are some tips to help you.  At the moment there is much talk of the world markets going into one of the biggest downward slides we’ve seen in our lifetime, so please invest carefully.  Any direction is an opportunity, but making decisions as a group may minimise your exposure to making dangerous choices.

The investor comes in all shapes and sizes. One method of investing is to form a stock club.  The members of the stock club pool a set amount of funds each month or quarter and then as a group decide which stock or fund to place their investment dollars.  The members could be people you know from mother’s group, church, school or a chat buddy on the Internet.   The stock club is made up of people from all walks of life and income levels. Generally, the stock club are comprised of people of like means and interests. The number of members in a stock club may be as small as four and as large as 10. The important ingredient in a stock club is that all members have a voice in the decision making process.

Formation:

After your group is formed a method of handling the funds and other administrative duties should be initiated. One method is to have a rotating treasurer or secretary of the group. This stock member will handle the funds contributed by the club. A good method of starting out on the right foot is to set forth the basic rules of the group in a letter. The rules should include how much money each member will contribute each month or quarter. How the decision on investments are made. How the members of the group will present their investment choices to the group. How is the final decision is made either by a simple majority vote or super majority. The members can rotate the presentation of their stock picks. Each presentation should include the financial information of the company and the last three years of prices and any other material relevant to the stock.

Basic Decisions on Finance:

The stock club should open a business account with a local bank or on-line bank. The choices of how you want the club account to be named on the account is up to the members. The stock club account should be set up with at least two signatories on the account. If you want all members to have the ability to deposit and access the account that is up to you and your bank.

The next step is to locate an on-line stock account. Depending on the on-line stock account you may need to open the account in the name of one or more members. If you have a fictitious name selected for the name of your group you may need to register the name with the state or county. Try and keep this aspect simple. You are not a big investment club. Keep the entity simple. If you need assistance ask your favorite banker or lawyer.

The Meetings:

The meetings for the stock club should be organized like any formal meeting. You may all be friends and it does not need to be stiff, but the purpose of the meeting is important. Discuss any old business. Keep notes of the event. Allow each member to present their opinions in an orderly fashion. Set aside an adequate amount of time for the presentation of a new stock opportunity. Allow all members to ask questions of the presenter and state their opinion. The final vote should be noted. Finally decide on the date of the next meeting.

The Dog Investment:

In the course of things someone may pick a real dog for an investment. The stock club should not worry about a bad choice, but as soon as it is apparent to all members that the stock is not going anywhere, sell. The group can learn from its mistakes, but it is important to move on. Set objectives for the stock club at each meeting. By continuing to set goals and objectives the stock club remains vibrant.

Winding Things Up:

At any given given point the stock club may decide to dissolve the group. At this point the process of winding things up may require some formality. Closing accounts, dispersing funds to the members and the like. If a large sum of money is involved the members may decide to ask for the assistance of a tax accountant. The fee should be paid out of the funds accumulated and charged against the account before disbursements are made.

The stock club is an enjoyable way to make long lasting friendships and to make a few dollars in the process. The stock club is a means where the smallest individually can become a viable group.

To your great success,

Dream it!  Live it!  Love it!

1. What Really happened In the Stock Market Last Week? So was it a Fat Finger?

We have officially launched!!

It’s exciting that we officially launched the Lives Of A Woman site last week, and I hope that all you wonderful mothers  had as lovely a Mother’s  Day as I did.  I got to take a much needed lazy day and be treated like a queen.  The whole family turning up, text messages from friends, presents, gorgeous flowers in my favourite colours, home cooked baked lunch and organic apple and wild berry pie.  Yum!!  Thank you my wonderful family, especially my former husband, and the best father in the world, Michael, who put it all together the way he does, with such ease and grace.

What a crazy week  though and I so wish I had more time for article writing, but I’ve been working really long hours with my IT team, getting ready for the launch next week of our other business MarketingMasterClub.com.   We’ll be promoting to around 50,000 people via emails, and being featured in the brand new online magazine by Dale Beaumont, Business Blueprint.

Marketing Master Club is the answer we felt was badly needed by the thousands of SME business owners we meet who have great little businesses, but know they are leaving so much money on the table by not communicating regularly enough with their clients, and have little idea how to use the internet to its full effect.  So we hired a team and trained them, and formed a ‘club’ which allows our members to share the costs of a professional team for creating newsletters and websites AND get the best quality, and access to experts who know what works.  Leverage and economies of scale are great strategies whether you’re a big corporation, or especially when you are just starting out.

Our site isn’t glamorous, but it’s based on some of the most successful content sites in the industry, and before we’d even launched we’d already signed up clients, and have quite a few others in the pipeline.  This is the ideal situation when launching a business, and we knew from our own experiences getting websites created how much this service was needed.  Plus when you see our charter member prices, you’ll see why people are jumping on the offer!

So what happened last week?

Meanwhile over on the stock market last week , we had one of the most exciting falls in the overall market in history.  It was quite spectacular.  Have a look at this chart of the S&P 500 which is an index made up of 500 different stocks.   The S&P 500 is the benchmark of the overall market, and frequently used as the standard of comparison in terms of investment performance.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5EGSPC&t=6m&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=

At first the rumour was that one trader had what they call ‘fat finger’ or that he had accidentally sold billions of shares instead of millions of shares, and it made a great story.  But now they are saying that it was probably a massive sell down by all the computerized systems.

It’s very interesting reading and gives some insight into the volatility we’re seeing in the stock and foreign exchange markets today.

Personally, I’m thrilled because months ago, I started buying gold and silver Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) options, just before gold and silver got slapped down again by the powers that be, and I am almost back to break even!

It sure is hard to get back into traditional business  after years of prosperity in our land from a wonderfully buoyant stock market, but what’s going to happen from here will be quite a spectator sport.   I wouldn’t dream of trying to give any advice, but I do like the way some of my friends are trading, which is taking short term positions, and not staying in the market too long, or options on overall indexes, which spreads the risk.   I’d be interested in your perceptions of what is going to happen in the next few months.  But with interest rates starting to come up it now seems like as good time as ever to be careful with your cash reserves, look for supplementary sources of income and reduce your debts.

To your great success,

2. Starting an Investing Group

Jack Welch & Cyd 07

Writing articles for and talking to potential clients for my new business www.MarketingMasterClub.com I have really started to realise how hard it is for so many businesses today to stay focused on what is their core business.  Let’s face it, even a small boutique these days needs to have a sophisticated inventory and sales tracking computer system, website and customer notification system, or they will very likely find themselves struggling to keep up.  If they are fortunate enough to have a lot of customers, they’d better be able to keep track of what the customers are buying and wanting to buy, or after a while they can find that they are all stocked up on what customers didn’t want that hasn’t moved off the floor.

If you’re in business, did you think that moving online was going to be sensational for your business – only to find that the technical savvy required of you just caused you more headaches than solutions?

I spent thousands, if not tens of thousands on Internet based marketing solutions – only to find they cost more than they earned me.

I had already spent the last two years testing out web solution providers trying to find someone I could work with and recommend, only to get so frustrated with pouring time and money down the proverbial ‘web designer’ sink hole.  So if you have a similar story, don’t feel alone in this.  I was so lucky to have other income sources, or I would have literally been driven out of business.

And as a business owner, I just wanted to talk to my customers!

I eventually learned I was not the only person with this problem – and decided to get really serious about finding a real solution, and for me it was going outside of Australia, and I hired my own outsource IT team!

Having spent years and thousands of dollars working on simplifying the complicated, I’m thrilled that soon we’ll be able to share our results with you.  We’ll be able to give you tips on identifying who your customers are and where to find them, and then how to help them find you.

That’s how we came up with the idea for Marketing Master Club, the collaborative effort of my business partner, Alan Perkins and I. We’ve finally found the solution to help both online or offline businesses – start-up or mature business, service-based or product-based – achieve rapid, substantial success and BRING IN THE CASHFLOW.   We’ve been evaluating and testing the most successful marketing solutions for years, from shopping carts to affiliate marketing programs – and everything in between. At last we are ready to offer you the results of our toil – a very user friendly, streamlined system that puts you back in the driver’s seat – and gets you communicating effectively with your customers the way you’ve always wished you could.

The bad news is we are currently fully booked at working with our founding members!

The good news is we’ll be taking on new members over the coming weeks, and I’ll be able to share some of our success stories here!

So if you’re confused about Ezines, web traffic, SEO, blogs, or Twitter and where they fit into your current marketing campaign, contact me and I’ll introduce you to our wildly efficient ‘solution based’ marketing program.

Is your business underperforming? Are you ambitious and want to re-connect with your customers NOW?

Learn how to talk to your customers again. As a most valued friend, colleagues and peer, we would like you to be amongst the first to learn these valuable insights. Together we’ll uncover the right entrepreneurial tactics and strategies to suit your style. Together we’ll help you become wildly successful – and an opinion leader in your market niche…

If you’re interested in what our members will be getting (because of course we’re running a sensational charter members special offer) visit the site www.MarketingMasterClub.com and explore the site.  Ask about booking a free 45 minute in-depth interview and learn how you can participate in our exclusive “Marketing Master Club” Coaching Program… and how to best implement your new-found knowledge into your business. Discover and experience the results of a business that’s functioning and making you money, instead of eating you alive!

Once we have this website running smoothly, we get to start working on the one I’m most excited about, Millionaires Master Club.  This is going to be our vault of interviews with amazing millionaires to get access to their advice, experiences, and information on how we can affiliate with them, or get involved in the business that’s making their dreams come true.  I’ve already got lots of interviews lined up, and quite a few on ice, ready to be loaded, and there will be a vast variety of success models, so members will be able to find one that suits their own dreams and personality.

Here’s to greater success, more often
