Through my mentoring program with Alex Jeffreys, and the fantastic community of like minded people in this program – they are like minded in that they have set their minds on making “Internet Marketing” WORK FOR THEM – I have learned and discovered a lot of different aspects of my own internet marketing “business”, or “journey” as you might call it.road_to_nowhere

Over the past 12 months I have focused on “JV Launch” promotions, and ongoing affiliate information products with a medium price point ($500 to $2,000).

I’ve made roughly $60,000 in net profits, and they break down like this:

$32,000 – Real Estate Launches

$8,000 – Internet Marketing Launches

$20,000 – REI Ongoing Promotions

I have turned out in the top 10 affiliates in several of the REI launches.

Now, let me first state that I am absolutely thrilled about these results, because they prove (to me) that internet marketing is a viable, valid, doable income source, and I’ve come a long way since taking Alex Mandossian’s Teleseminar Secrets Class – on my way to making the first $1 on the internet.

Now here is where I went wrong: I didn’t have enough focus on building my own list (even though I developed a system that let me add several hundred subscribers to my list in each launch), and I didn’t do enough to develop my own profile as an authority by creating products of my own.

As a result, my list has grown, but not exponentially as I would have liked – and as you might expect. List building – done the right way is an aspect of “conversion” in marketing. Converting a visitor into a subscriber to your list is one of the most important steps in building the relationship with your list.

If you do that right, you will start building your relationship as a trusted adviser and authority in your niche with your subscribers immediately. As a result, it matters LESS if you have tons of sales on a launch or on an ongoing promotion, because your list will have a much greater long-term value.

So, this is my goal in getting to the next IM income level from here:

  • Offer and deliver more value
  • Build a stronger relationship with my subscribers
  • Focus on building that list stronger and faster
