Living In Limbo….But You Should Grab This!
Posted by: | CommentsWell, here I am. 3 weeks on from my last blog post. I’m thinking that is probably too long to be leaving between blog posts and in time I hope to rectify that. Perhaps in the future I will have lots more to talk about but more importantly a lot more people to talk to.
Or maybe I have so much to talk about that I can’t focus on one subject at a time!! Yeah, that sounds more like it.
On a personal note I am still waiting on the arrival of my first kiddywink. He’s now over a week overdue and the waiting is driving me round the bend. At least it allows me the time to keep working on my IM business.
That side of things is continuing to grow at a steady pace and if I could give one piece of advice to the newbie IM’er it is to have patience. There are no get rich quick schemes here. We are about building a profitable BUT sustainable online business. If you are looking for a quick cash injection or a part-time income then I’m sure there are systems out there that can help but I am pursuing the dream of becoming a full-time IM’er and for that I need longevity.
As for those goals, what have I achieved so far?
The biggest advancement that I have made is in the most important part of my business – my list. On my last blog post I only had a few hundred subscribers, today it is sitting at approx 850.
I am happy with the progress I am making and the beauty of building a bigger list is that everything starts to go into overdrive. If you adswap with a list of 200 and get 5% conversions then you are only getting 10 subscribers a day but when you adswap with a 2000 list you will get 100 a day, therefore you move to the next level a lot quicker.
So please remember that it’s the getting started that is the difficult part. Once you have momentum you will start to make great strides in a far shorter period of time.
So this moves me nicely on to my next point which is the release of Alex Jeffreys new “Triple Threat Affilate” product.
Basically Alex is giving away one of the webinars that we had as part of the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Program and in all honesty this is the one that blew me away.
My journey started when I began Alex’s course, it cost me just under $1000 to do so but now you can get started for nothing. I fully intend to reach my destination and I will always remain thankful for Alex’s advice.
So do yourself a favour and get this webinar:
Alex Jeffreys “Triple Threat Affiliate” Webinar
I’ll leave this post there and by the time I post again my life will have been turned upside down and inside out and, I NEVER thought I’d say this but I’m quite looking forward to it.
Famous last words!!
Dean Holland’s An Inspiration!
Posted by: | CommentsThis business relies on momentum and consistency to deliver results. It is important to keep doing a little something every day in order to move you closer to your goals. Whether that is tweeting regularly, writing an article every day or making a blog post weekly.
And it is very easy to let life and work get in the way of these consistencies. And before you know it a week and maybe two has passed.
As a Dean Holland student I know that it is possible to make a success out of IM and I am determined to make it there. As work life deteriorates and with new family commitments looming it is very easy to start getting negative. Results aren’t where I would like them to be, my email list is still in its infancy and some things haven’t worked like I would have hoped.
But, people, that is not the way that I am going this time.
On the positive, I have had sign ups, I tweet regularly and my following has grown to almost 3,000. I have written articles regularly and I will continue to do so.
Dean Holland is my inspiration this time and that is something that I haven’t had for a while. Dean started where I started. He followed Alex Jeffreys coaching consistently and 9 months later he quit his job. This isn’t just possible, if you follow the system, its probable that you will get results.
I’d also like to say a big hello and thank you to anyone visiting this blog. Thanks for taking the time to visit. And for any Dean Holland or Alex Jeffreys students, please contact me via the contact page here or PM on the forums just to say Hi. I know we all need help with motivation at times and I’d really like to start building some online relationships.
Finally I’d like to point everyone in the direction of my blog page titled Five Free Membership Sites. These memberships are terrific. There is a traffic generation club and an affiliate profits club as well as a self help site and 2 other web marketing memberships.
They really are free, although there is an upgrade option. And the information inside is incredible. Check them out – Click here
25 Things You Didn’t Know (Or Care) About Andy Michaels
Posted by: | CommentsIn response to the challenge thrown down by Gary Simpson (http://motivationselfesteem.com/talk/) in the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Forum and because I was tagged by the good man Mr Marcus Passey (http://www.marcuspassey.com) whose list is a lot better than mine by the way) I felt obliged, nay pressured into revealing more.
Also Marcus will be becoming used to me stealing things from him so I have decided to write it in the third person as then I can laugh at that sad sod in the list as well. You may notice me clutching at straws by the end.
Here goes:
1.Andy is 5’8″, medium build, weighs 11 1/2 stone so just into overweight territory.
2. Andy loves ice cream and sweeties hence the creep into overweight territory.
3. Andy is 32 years old and not a kick off the arse of 33. But still gets on the bus for a half! Maybe, If I tried??
4. Andy is not in the job he though he would be in when he was 16. Is anyone?
5. Andy is Ginger, Red-Headed, Carrot-Topped, etc but Andy’s not bitter about it. Well, not now. Much.
6. Andy got away with getting married for 9 years but is about to reach his 1 year anniversary realising that its not that bad after all. Don’t know what the wife thinks about that.
7. Andy is 3 months away from becoming a father for the first time and is pooping himself at the prospect.
8. Andy lives in the country, hiding his anti-social tendencies amongst the sheep.
9. Andy works in the retail industry which is the cause of most of his anti-social tendencies!
10. Andy loves the footie (soccer to the yanks), Well, Andy did but the excess money, cheating, diving, mollycoddling of over-paid namby-pambys and general destruction of the common man’s game is putting him off somewhat.
11. Andy has the tendency to launch into rants regarding the lack of common sense in the world on a regular basis.
12. Andy is interested in the financial news and thinks that anyone who says they couldn’t see this crisis coming is either deluded, blinkered or lying. (Andy’s been boring his family and friends with this for 8 years). And if we think that the answer to overspending and debt is MORE overspending and debt then God help us all!
13. Andy is a mass of contradictions. He’s selfish but generous, laid back yet uptight, demanding yet easy-going, funny but serious. For some reason that reminds me of a line from a Chris Rock show where he says that we can’t always be a conservative or a liberal thinker. As in “On crime, I’m conservative, On prostitution, I’m Liberal!” Just a joke folks!
14. Andy likes to laugh – a lot. Andy misses being younger when he seemed to laugh from morning till night till he couldn’t breath. Where does the laughter go when you’re older? We’re all so serious now.
15. Andy goes red at the drop of a hat, Ends up looking like a giant Swan Vesta. At least 10 times a day. Andy’s still not used to it.
16. Andy is a keen reader, Of financial stuff as mentioned before but particularly historical fiction. If its got fighting, blood, guts, death and glory in it then I usually love it. Favourite authors include Conn Igguldenn, Steven Pressfield, David Gemmell and Giles Kristian.
17. When Andy was slightly younger and dumber he broke his collar bone jumping off a car. This is still the most painful thing he has ever experienced. Andy told his parents and the doctors he did it jumping over a wall. They said they believed him.
18. Andy has done a 10,000ft tandem parachute jump despite being a teensy weensy little bit scared of high things. I can’t go up high things without wanting to sit on the ground. Despite this I have jumped off a few things pretty high up.
19. Andy detests programs like Big Brother, The X Factor or The Apprentice (1st series was good but after that..). Basically if it makes you want to scratch the inside of your head then I’m in the other room.
20. Andy likes lots of American drama’s like The Wire, Dexter, Generation Kill, The Mentalist, House. And the good reality programs like Deadliest Catch, Oil Riggers, American Chopper and Axe Men. Oh, and he loves Emmerdale and isn’t afraid to show it.
21. Musically Andy can listen to many kinds of music and doesn’t discount country, classical, blues etc but really likes a bit of indie and rock. He likes loads of folk from The Enemy and Paulo Nutini to The Proclaimers and Credence Clearwater Revival. And when Andy wants to think of nothing but the music he sticks on The Who and just revels in the beauty of it all.
22. Andy has had a DVD player for 5 years and watched 3 DVD’s on it in all that time. Andy wonders why you can’t fast forward all the intro bits on a DVD like you could a video! Maybe thats just me.
23. Andy has realised because of writing this list that he has done very little in his life worth writing about, and he’s not very interesting.
24. Andy tries to live his life trying not to do to others those things that p*** him off. Like not merging in turn in traffic, or talking over someone else, or saying “I pay your wages” to store staff, or not saying “excuse me” or “sorry”, or whistling in public, or a thousand other things. Andy is never, ever late and see’s being late as a sign that your time is more important than someone elses.
25. Andy is determined to follow this path through to the end and will succeed in making some sort of regular income online. Andy feels a lot more confident this time.
Bloomin Nora, That was a lot tougher than I thought.
Now I’ve to go and tag some other folks in this big 25 things game.
Andy
