What Ian Rankin Can Teach Us.
Posted by: | CommentsAaargh. Done it again. Another 9 days gone with no posts. Aah Well, Lets not dwell on such things. I have a feeling that I am going to be adding a few more in the next week. I just have so much that I want to talk about.
I have a post to make in response to a challenge where I have to write 25 things about me. I’m writing this up so that I can’t go back on accepting the challenge. I also want to make a post regarding Alex Jeffreys Coaching Program, namely the latest module I’ve listened to – Triple Threat Affiliate. This module blew me away. Something just sounded different in Alex’s voice. Or maybe I just got it???
But those are for another day. Today I just want to type up a very small news item that I noticed in one of the tabloids. We should all take what we need out of it. Nothing else to add –
“Millionaire author Ian Rankin raked in just £200 from his first novel it emerged last night.
The Rebus writer is believed to have coined in at least £3.2 million last year alone.
But he confessed to Scots actor pal Alan Cumming, 44, for a foreign TV show that he made a pittance from his debut offering.
Rankin, 48, told him: “The first book I got £200, the second book I got £600. And so it went like that for some time. But I kept writing better and better books. It was around 1998 before I could afford to buy a flat in Edinburgh” -End Article.
So why tell you this and what do I get out of it?
I think my fellow students will see what I see.
A writer now regarded as one of the best and most succesful in the UK is only that because he persevered. He could have given up but he didn’t, he got better as he learned and now he is where he wants to be.
Remember this before you give up your dreams!

Posted by: | CommentsAs I mentioned in my first blog post, my aim for this blog is to be an interesting mixture of product reviews, particularly the products that I am using at the moment i.e Alex Jeffreys Coaching and Dean Holland Coaching, blueprints that I have followed in the past that I know can be used to make money, including hints and tips on creating products, setting up sites etc as well as articles, useful sites etc. Basically anything that I think you’ll enjoy.
Today I will mention a bit more about my progress with the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Program. So far it has been an extremely interesting course. We have covered all of the basics from editing your sites, adding paypal buttons and uploading sites to your domain name. A lot of this is very basic stuff and although many people on the course may already be aware of much of it I like that we are starting from scratch again. This allows everyone to follow a tried and tested formula.
Alex is turning out to be an extremely good teacher and his desire to help us all shines through in his video presentations. The support structure is also strong with Garry Parkes stepping up to the plate and hitting it out the park. The forum isn’t too big that it overwhelms you and the students on there are supportive, helpful and generous.
But now that the system is set up, this is where the good stuff should really start. I can’t wait to see the tactics used to drive traffic to our sites and due to the unique collaboration between members we will all share in the success. Let the good times roll.
Andy Joins The Blogging World!
Posted by: | CommentsBut will anyone ever read it? Now that is the question isn’t it. With all the millions of blogs out there on t’internet you just never know if if any of those mutlitudes of surfers will ever land on your tiny piece of cyber space. Well, as the title suggests, this is my “Moment of Truth”! Dahn, Dahn, Daahhhnnn!
First of all, let me introduce myself to myself. Seeing as I’m the only one here just now. My name is Andy Michaels and I am a wannabe professional Internet Marketer.
The first step is admitting it to yourself. I’ve been in and around the IM world for a couple of years now. I’ve had some victories and I’ve had plenty of defeats but in the words of some successful American football coach, “Success is just a matter of getting up one more time than you fall down.” – Sure I saw that on Jerry Maguire!
I have some experience in different areas of IM which I will share with you (or just me?) as we go along on my journey from wannabe to maybe-be to definitely-be. Ahem! You know what I mean.
I have decided to start from scratch again and that is why I decided to enrol on the Alex Jeffrey’s Coaching Program 2.0. Through Alex’s course I aim to learn, develop and build my IM business. I will share my progress with you and we can do this together. I would love comments and the occasional “Atta-boy Andy”, just so I know I’m not alone out here.
So to give you the gist of my first blog post – I am an Alex Jeffrey’s Coaching Student, Oh and a Dean Holland student. Dean is a former Alex Jeffrey’s Coaching Student who has gone on to make it big and continues to grow. I have a couple of other people that I use as an inspiration that I will share with you another day.
I intend my blog to be a good mixture of excellent information, free gifts, product reviews, articles and product recommendations to help grow your business so please join me again. Even better is please bookmark me or join my RSS feed. Cheers. Andy
