Newbies Gifts Just For You

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know, I am a day early but I was just too excited to wait. Just got back from the R-n-R with the inlaws at the Hunter Valley and I am all excited and invigorated for the New Year.

Next week we are off to Queensland for the some holiday fun with Hunter before getting stuck into 2009.

Here is a quick shot of my gorgeous little boy who starts big school this year 'boo hoo'. As you can see he is already into the cool hairdo...wish me luck!

My husband and I are strong believers in the gift of giving. This year Hunter sponsored his first child through World Vision and he is very excited about helping another little boy to have a great life just like him. We also donate to Kids with Cancer charity, because I believe all children deserve to have the best start in life.

This has put me in a really generous, happy and festive spirit so I decided why stop now, let's spread some more cheer and give away some more FREE Gifts.

People tell me I am mad, how can you run a business by giving your products away for free... I don't know, but it works for me and if it brings a smile then it makes my day.
So make the most of my moments of madness and...

...Start 2009 with a bang!

For the first 100 people who stop by my website I have 2 fantastic gifts for you to get started in 2009. Click here to get them straight away!

I know the hardest part of getting started is making that 'first step'. You think about it, think about it and think about it some more but never really 'get started'. Well not this year...

Call Me Your Online Fairy Godmother

I am here to make sure there are no excuses so as a Free gift (and a kick up the bum) I have decided to give away a copy of:

• What You Need to Know About Building A Web Business ebook PLUS

I am so excited about 2009... I am driving my husband nuts with all my ideas, niches I am going to try and people I am going to help. 2009 just cannot come fast enough for me.

Anyway, off to the beach... see you in 2009 and don't forget to download your free gifts....if you do anything at all in 2009 learn something new and have fun doing it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - Pammieb :)

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

Creating new products

This is the fun part that I love about information marketing.





Having come from a background of document design creating my own products comes second nature to me and I just love it. The creative process can be lots of fun and will be something I will be teaching in my workshops in the new year. And yes I create my own graphics as well. I create the whole product ready for sale, so if I can do it so can you! That is what I love about making money on the web and teaching others about creating their own web business online.


This week I wanted to focus on my Mindset Product because I know it is the most important part of being successful in any business.
If you do not have your 'head space' right then you will always be chasing your tail. You need

1. A goal your Ultimate Goal that you want to strive for


2. A reason, Your Why that will drive you to succeed


3. Motivation to ensure you stay focused on the end result


4. Plus most importantly ACTION, if you don't start you will never move forward

People find getting started the hardest part which is why I created a Mindset for Online Success Workbook and Audio package so there is no excuse for you not to take action. Now!

So what is in this product I created?

Well my sister actually made me go through this process about 8 years ago. I was a sceptic at the time, but as she was an experienced Life Coach, and nothing was working in my life at the time I thought I would give it a try.

Basically the concept involves

• Creating a 'Success' folder of what it is you want to achieve or desire in every aspect of your life.


• Writing it down in great detail and with great clarity.


• Adding visuals to help you focus and really strive for what it is you want


• Setting yourself target and goals to get started
  

So I gave it a go. I could not believe how quickly my life changed when I started focusing on what I really wanted instead of dwelling on my past and what I did not want (wasted energy).

Now I want to share this strategy with you and help you make the changes in your life and start living your dream lifestyle. The opportunities are out there for anyone who is willing to open their eyes, focus and have a go.

So as a learning curve for this weeks blog I am going to tell you what was involved in creating my package so you can see that it really isn't that daunting.

1. I created my workbook ( if you are not good at doing this but have the information in your head, or are willing to research it, you can get someone else to create it for you)


2. Once the workbook is finished you can create it into many products. I created my ebook into an audio tutorial as well so that people who like to listen on their ipods or while driving to work can do so and then download the workbook and work their way through it.


3. All it takes is a recording package on your PC, a headset to speak into and that's it.

So who thinks that they might have a information product they would like to create and sell online?

I haven't uploaded it to my website yet as I only finished it yesterday. But if you are interested in purchasing it and using it to get started in your own business send me an email and I will let you know when it is available for purchase in the next 2 weeks.

Have a look at the sample overview audio below it will tell you a bit more about my new "Mindset for Online Success' Workbook and Audio package.

Have a great weekend, I am off to put the final touches on my new product and carry on creating my other video tutorial product series coming in 2009.

To Your Success

Video Tutorials are live!

Hi there, I hope this email finds you all happy, healthy and enjoying life. It is an absolutely magnificent day here in Sydney, Australia and I am planning on getting my work done as quickly as possible so I can get down the beach this afternoon and go and have my weekly glass of wine with my good friend Meredith.

The joys of being an online entrepreneur. This could be you in 2009, it is up to you to take action. why not come along to one of my workshops and learn how YOU can get your own online business started and make your own lifestyle choices in 2009.

Okay what have I been up to this week. Well as you know I am only working 3 days a week so there is never enough hours in the day, but I managed to get quite a bit done.

• I built a video tutorial on how to create a FREE website using Weebly. Check it out at my website www.pammieb.com
• I also have been researching a new niche to target and do a JV with my sister which is another step in the process that you will learn through my video tutorials. How to research and find out if a niche is even profitable before spending too much money
• I am running workshops early in 2009 with registrations for the events coming in thick and fast, so if you want to get started I highly recommend finding out how easy it is by attending one of my workshops in the newyear. You can sign-up for notification of dates on the home page of my website at www.pammieb.com
• I built a weebly website for my girlfriend who is an amazing Australian Artist who wanted a place to send interested parties to look at her artwork without having to carry them around with her. So I created a free Weebly website. Check it out at www.poppetspaintings.weebly.com
• And today I am finishing off my workshop presentation with lots of examples and hands-on tutorials to show you exactly what you need to do step-by-step to start earning money on the internet. You will need to come to one of the workshops or sign up to the video tutorial series (launching in early 2009) to find out more
• Plus inbetween all that I have been writing more articles and tips on my website about starting an online business so I have been quite busy, have a read at http://www.makingmoneyoninternetbasics.com/pamstips

One of my biggest bug bears at the moment which was the topic of my latest article is what I call 'product launch spamming'. I don't know about you but I am so 'over it'. So I have decided to make a stand. Any guru I subscribe to who sends me a 'my mate product launch email' I unsubscribe from....I don't think I am going to have very many emails at the rate I am receiving these promotions. It is getting up to 20 a day and I think enough is enough.

Anyone who feels the same way and wants to stop filling the pockets of the 'gurus' who seem to have stopped teaching and just spend their days making money on unsuspecting newbies who do not know any better, than I recommend doing the same thing. Unsubscribe from their email lists and they will soon get the message. Why?

Because all GURUS know that the money is in the list. These guys are nothing more than really good marketers and they rely on really good copywriters to push the right emotional buttons to get unsuspecting buyers to spend their money. Now there is nothing wrong with that if they are providing value and selling their own products, but when it comes to jumping on the backtail of every GURU's launch, and abusing their email lists just so that they can make a commission, that is when I say enough is enough.

My rule is, if you have not read and implemented your last purchase then you do not purchase anything else until you have. You do not need every single latest gadget that these GURU's are promoting. They know that half of you won't even open the package or will get to page 2 and give up ...why because most of the strategies are above most people especially a newbie. They make you feel like you will not be successful online unless you buy this product - well that is nonsense.

My advice...don't buy anything that comes to you in the form of a promotion email. It is purely to fill the pockets of the email sender.

Find a couple of mentors and stick with them. If they have a resource page or recommend a couple of products that they are affiliated to that's fine these are usually genuinely helpful resources that you can use in your business. But if you get a 'don't miss out on this launch email with a whole lot of bonuses attached' ignore them. Why because you are going to get another one next week, and another one next week and another one the week after that. Keep your money in your pocket because there is no quick fix to this industry.

It takes a lot of time, energy, action and learning to make money online, anyone who tells you otherwise is just after a quick sale.

So I think it is time that the GURU's who are now 'so far removed' from their grass roots of 10 years ago, take a step back and actually start helping people. They have become the investment bankers of the internet and it is all about the 'money'.

Well as you can see I am quite passionate about this subject. If you want to learn in a totally 'non hype' environment with someone who really cares about whether you succeed and is not out to fleece you of all your money, plus a place where you will not receive hundreds of 'launch' emails. Then come and hang out at my website and lets become successful together.

With that I am back to my presentation on helping you to make your own online success in 2009.

Have a fantastic Weekend.

Cheers

Pammieb.
