Although the video was posted five years ago it is copyrighted 1999 which is probably when it was made as it it is obviously outdated ( the diary shown in the video is 1997). Amazon not making a profit!!!! How things have changed! But the reasons for getting involved in internet marketing are still the same and still ring true for me, for example you can create a business:-

  • That can be done full-time or part-time;
  • With little or no capital outlay;
  • That can be started at home;
  • With low overheads;
  • Where no employees are required;
  • Where no special business experience is required;
  • That alllows you to work your hours for your goals;
  • That offers time and financial freedom.

That is one of the problems with affiliate marketing you have no control over the quality of the marketing materials.  This brought it home to me how important it is to have your own product.

( congratulations to Jim & Des).  My results 27!!!

At first I found this very depressing.  I thought about it for a while and realized I had to start again so I’m reading all Alex Jeffreys ebooks.  In Alex’s 3rd ebook – Post Launch Profit Secrets I came across the following paragraph:-

“When I started out, I was failing all the time and I used to think I was a failure, but failing is totally part of success, failure comes with success and many of the best business people in the world will tell you, that failure is part of success and you’ve got to fail, because when you do it the first time you fail. ” ( www.PostLaunchProfits.com/Secrets )

I’ve heard Alex talk about failing forward and thought I’d understood what it meant.  Experiencing it gives you an understanding on a very different level.  Yes I had failed but I had taken action and moved forward and now had a foundation to work on.  By taking action I have now got more knowledge of what’s involved and can now make a plan.

I can’t wait for my next failure!

I’ve updated my profile on twitter and added a photo, I’m suprised at the followers I’ve got already. You can follow me at http://twitter.com/Andy_Lindsay

At one point I had to drive 3 miles down the road and park in a lay-bay just to get reception on my wireless broadband to pick up my email.  Now I’m back but I’ve blown my chances in the competition. 
I can’t get my squeeze page to work.  When I enter my details and click the “send” button I just get garbage.  The good thing is the name and email is saved and the autoresponder sends out my first email.  So what I’ve done is put a link to the download page in the email.  Now at least I can start my adwords campaign and get some traffic coming in while I sort the problem out.

Happy New Year to you all I hope your year is going to be as exciting as mine is going to be!
