Infomillionaire - A Great Resource for Newbies

Well it is lunchtime in beautiful Sydney Australia and the sun is shining and I am very tempted to go to the beach but before I do I wanted to tell you about the Infomillionaire.


Now I know there has been far too many product launches in the last 3 months and I am the first person to put my hand up and say 'I am over it'. Trust me.... I really think these Gurus need to get together and have a siesta or at least give the 'newbies' who they are targeting a breather.


But having said that, when I come across a product that I believe can benefit anyone who is wanting to get started online, or who is struggling with their own online business. then I am happy to recommend it to my readers.


Firstly and foremost, I love Frank Kern. I love him because he just tells it as it is. No 'hype', no 'waffle' just fun video tutorials that are always filled with lots and lots of good, quality usable information like the infomillionaire.


If you are someone who is thinking about selling an information product in the new year or even selling other people's information products as an affiliate then this FREE product really will help you get ahead of your competitors.


Now this infomillionaire product Frank is doing with his cousin Trey, is good because it has gone right back to 'basics'. If you do not get the basics right, and keep hopping from one product launch to another, you are never going to be able to stop and smell the roses. You will continue to chase your tail and spend lots and lots of money. Trust me I know I did this the first 6 mths of getting started online.


Now this info product is FREE except for shipping costs. But remember as with most products there is always an upsell and Frank is no different. He is launching an ongoing continuity program for those who buy the product at $43 per month with your first 30 days free.


For those of you who get a lot of value from the FREE product fantastic, stay in the $43 a month membership learning from Frank until you feel you have enough information to get your business going. For those who want the FREE product but are unsure of whether you want the ongoing mentoring, no problem you can cancel your membership at anytime.


Best advice I could give to you for the new year is this... find that someone you resonate with and who you find easy to understand when it comes to learning and stick with that person.


I am going to be purchasing this infomillionaire product because I know there are some great 'fundamental' learning material that will benefit my newbies. I will implement Frank's strategies into my own niches so that I can better understand how to help others with their online business.


Don't forget, the internet is a living business. Nothing stays the same for very long so you must keep learning and growing with it to remain on top of your game.


In the New Year I am going to be doing a product review each week of Guru Resources and Free Resources that I have found that I believe will enhance your business.


Have a fantastic Christmas...I am off to the in laws this weekend in the Hunter Valley (the wine region of NSW) for a much needed rest. Don't worry, we got my father in law a computer last year (see picture right with my husband) and hooked him up to the internet so I will be able to chat to you next week whilst on holidays. He is 80 years old and absolutely loves the internet...never too old to become an internet marketer I say and he is living proof.


Enjoy your week and Merry Christmas :)

Cheers

The Power Of Mentors

Wow only a couple weeks till Christmas, where has the year gone?

Well as the year is starting to wind down, smart people are focusing on their goals and strategies for their business for the New Year. I like to use the holiday season to reflect on the year that has been and plan for my successful year that lies ahead.

I have been adding to my resources page this week ensuring that when I find a product or service that will make your life easier in 2009, that I tell you about it on my website. So if you are looking for tools for your online business go and check out the resources I have sourced for you at pammieb toolbox.

This week I am focusing on the importance of mentors to the success of any business whether it be offline or online.

Everyone should have someone that they either aspire to become, or someone that they look to for inspiration, guidance and lessons to be learnt.

Some of the people who inspire me are:


Alexandria Brown - ezine queen

Armand Morin - internet marketing genius

Matt & Amanda Clarkson - ebay gurus

Steve Brossman - amazing marketer & fortunately for me my husband

Derek Gehl - another brilliant internet marketer

Most of these people (accept for my husband) are in the same industry as myself but who have taken their business to a level of success that I strive to achieve in my own business and also strive for my students to achieve in their own online businesses.

Some people have asked me "But Pam aren't these people your competitors?" "Why are you promoting other people who are in the same business as you?".

Well they are very good and very valid questions and my answer, mindset and beliefs are:

• Competitors can be some of the best joint venture partners for your business
• There is enough in cyberspace for everyone - only people with a 'lack' or 'scarcity' mindset fear their competitors
• People like to learn from different people - just because my mentors are selling similar products, coaching modules or services to me does not mean that everyone wants them as their mentor
• People will learn from the mentor that they resonate with and if that is me fantastic, if it is one of my mentors, great! I become an affiliate of theirs (win/win)
  

So I promote my competitor's products and businesses because they benefit my customers. If I believe that any of my mentors can assist my customers well then I will give them their details.

This is the power of joint ventures or affiliate marketing. In businesses there are many win/win strategies out there for people who are targeting the same niches. You just have to be open to the opportunities and think about ways of building relationships that can work for both parties.

So this week I am promoting one of my mentors Armand Morin. Why, because I really believe his new 'Marketing Tutorial' video series is very, very good and a lot of people will really benefit from signing up to his coaching program.

He has a sample video tutorial on his website and I really got a lot from that one video for my own business, so I want you to be able to learn strategies that can benefit your business too. Click on the picture if you want to watch his latest FREE video tutorial.

Is it in competition with my video series? - Probably, but Armand teaches at a level that I think is the next step up from the 'newbies' that I teach. I help peope who really are 'green' when it comes to getting started online and I help them to get to a level where they can benefit from Armand's strategies.

I also want to have an option for my customers, so that when they are ready to go to the next level of marketing strategies, they are learning from the people I use as my mentors. That way they are learning from the best in the industry for the stage they are at in their business.

So if you are already on your way, and looking for better ways to:

• drive lots and lots of qualified traffic


• create optin pages that convert


• convert visitors into buying customers


• upsell to those customers now that they are in your funnel


• and generate more sales, products and businesses
  
  

Then I highly recommend joining Armand's new Video Tutorial membership because he is the best at all of the above and what you learn from him will hugely impact the success of your business.

See you next week.

Cheers

Had such a great day had to tell you about it

Well I know I only wrote my first post yesterday whilst setting up my blog but it looked a little bit lonely sitting up there all by itself and I had such a great day I thought I would update you on what I have been doing today.

Well as I said yesterday, getting yourself out there is all part of starting an online business. Trust me when it comes to all this 'Web 2.0' stuff I am definitely way behind the ball game but you know what I do, I just copy what everyone esle is doing.
I must tell you...if you are looking to do a really simple free video course I highly recommend doing Ed Dale's 30 Day Challenge. The information in there is really great for learning everything you need to know for getting started online.

Just when you think you are just getting the hang of one strategy along comes another which I think is why people find this industry so daunting.
My tip is...stick to the basics, get your foundations right first and then worry about all the 'fancy' strategies later. Don't get bogged down with all the hype.
So why am I pretty excited today.

Well I am not sure if you know but there is a new forum that is launching on the 28th October called Online Divas where women all around Australia are supporting other women who want to learn how to start their own online business.

I am one of the Online Divas and I am really excited about helping people learn how to do what I do. But what is really exciting is that people are already coming to visit my website to find out more about me and my coaching programs.

So the key tip today is try and join as many external and online forums and networking opportunities as you can. It is really important when you are starting an online business to get yourself out there otherwise no one will ever find you amongst all the trillions of other websites on the world wide web.

So if you get a chance, go and check me out on Online Divas home page and you can find out more about what Australian Women are doing to create the lifestyle choices that are right for them online.

Now you have to remember that the Online Divas are just launching so like most new businesses they are having to promote their website. Which is another reason why I am telling you to go and visit. Every website that is within the niche that you are looking to target is a learning tool for you.

That is right...the gurus are forever studying what other people are doing who are getting

• great publicity


• high search engine ranking


• a lot of traffic


• and a lot of conversions

They use these websites as a way to get ideas and strategies for improving the performance of their own websites.

So today I noticed that the Online Divas had signed themselves up to all the most popular 'social websites' as it is a great way to get 'online realestate' links back to your website plus network with likeminded people. (You never know when there is a joint venture opportunity lurking in the wings of the people you meet online). I have met some amazing people from around the world who have helped me to build my business purely because they want to help you succeed.

Anyway, I joined the same social websites, created my profile of who I am, what I do and linked back to my blog and my website and what is even better these social networks link up to each other.

Most people think...how do I ever keep up chatting on all these social networks...well these guys have thought of everything. You are pretty much able to link them to each other so that when I write an article on this blog it actually feeds to all the other social networks that I belong to and keeps them updated on what I am doing. That is fantastic.

So quick overview of what I have done so far

1. Set myself targets and goals that I want to achieve in the next 12 mths


2. Split those targets into monthly targets, weekly and daily targets


3. Went and did my market research using the market samurai tool to find my two keyword for the home page of my website and the other keywords for the remaining sub pages of my website


4. Wrote an ebook to sell as a product online


5. Created a blueprint of my business including all the affiliate products and backend products that I am going to sell from my website


6. Creating and opt-in page to be able to capture names of visitors who come to my website so that I can market to them ongoing over a period of time


7. Joined the Online Divas to help promote my business and also teach other women how to get started in their own online business


8. Created my first 'how to' tutorial and posted it on You Tube as another way to market my new business - I will be posting lots more


9. Started creating an audio version of my ebook so that people can purchase the audio as well as the download - (makes 2 products to sell online)


10. Created a Squidoo Page to also drive traffic to my new website


11. Then yesterday I created this blog....phew I have been busy

Now don't get overwhelmed by this list. Remember this is not my first website, I have built quite a few over the last 3 years so I can now do all this stuff very quickly. What I am showing you is some of the traffic generating tips to getting people to find you on the web and get your website crawled by the search engines.

I heard it can take up to 6 weeks and sometimes longer to get a new site found by google...but when you download Brad Callen's free ebooks from my website he will tell you how to get found in just a couple of days. I was a bit sceptical but I gave it a go with this new website and he was right. Google found me within 3 days, crawled my website and I was on the directory straight away.

This one tip saved me so much time and effort and lost revenue. I have been live for only 10 days I have already made my first sale and I am starting to build traffic to my website. So I am telling you these strategies work which is why I am sharing them with you today.

Well I can hear you saying 'that is great Pam, now how do I do it' and fair enough too there is nothing worse then someone ranting away when all you want to know is how you can learn how to do it too. Well very soon I am going to video it all for you. That is right...you will not have to go to

1. thousands of different websites


2. read hundereds of different ebooks


3. subscribe to tons of newsletters and ecourses

Nope I am going to provide it all for you in the one spot and best of all it is going to be "IN PLAIN ENGLISH". NO techno blah blah blah. Just click here, sign up there, copy this, paste that and tadaaaa...bingo you are on your way all on video so you can actually watch me step by step show you how to do it. How does that sound to you?

So give me a couple more weeks as next week is the Online Diva launch so I am busy getting ready for that but once that is over you are all going to have my undivided attention so that 2009 can be your year to become an entrepreneur.

That's it from me. It is Friday night, my beautiful boy has gone to sleep..my husband is watching the football and I am going to have a well deserved glass of wine.

Have a fabulous weekend.

To Your Success
