I’ve used numerous article writers over the years but last year I stumbled upon an article witing service and since then I’ve never thought about using any other. Jerry McConway is the owner of Simply the Best Writing, L.L.C. and he delivers very high quality articles, on time and at a very reasonable price. He offers a range of services at varying prices that include SEO articles, standard articles, and Unique Article Wizard articles (basically an article with 2 extra rewrites). Even with some large orders he has almost always delivered my articles on the due date, even on the rare occasions there has been a slight delay he has contacted me promptly to let me know. Jerry also offers a couple of other services. These are posting for niche blog sites and press release writing. Although I’ve not tried either of these yet, I’m sure his excellent service extends to these products too. I highly recommend using Simply The Best Writing.

As we approach the end of 2009 I have to admit that I haven’t exactly followed the path I had in mind for my first full year in internet marketing. Ideas that I thought we a dead cert to work have fallen flat on their face, and other things I’ve tried have been surprisingly successful.
One such success story was a tactic I discovered to cash in on the Christmas period as an amazon affiliate. After discovering the idea I spent a couple of days in November setting it up (I really wish I had spent more time now!) and netted around $500 in sales commisioned. Not a huge amount I know, but I only really had time to test the water to see whether it would work, and the idea is totally scalable. Next year I will be looking for some people to join me in creating a network of affiliate sites for amazon so we can all benefit from this tactic.
I have also been working on a membership site for people who want to become affiliate marketers. It probably won’t be for those who are looking to become big name internet marketing millionaire guru’s (you’ll have to buy some other course for that) but for the average Joe who wants to make a decent income just from being a behind the scenes affiliate. Not everybody likes the limelight, I realise, so this site will be about giving you all the tools and training to succeed in affiliate marketing. I will also be looking to use the power of the collective members to help in the promotion of products.
So I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a very prosperous New Year, and look out for more from me very soon.

For those of you who didn’t already know, I was a part of Alex Jeffreys coaching course that he started at the end of last year. I had spent the previous two years going round in circles trying to make money online, and failing every time. Joining the Alex Jeffreys coaching program was the pivotal point in realising my goals and I am now a full time internet marketer.
The good news is that Alex is about to launch his second coaching program and have no doubt, as Alex himself is still learning all the time, this will be much better than the first one.
The price tag on these coaching program always used to seem a little high for me but I can tell you now it was worth every penny and more. You NEED a mentor to succeed in this competitive business and I was lucky enough to find one who really cared about the success of all his 500 students and went above and beyond in the material that he delivered.
If I’d taken the plunge and forked out a little more cash on finding a mentor earlier in my marketing career, there’s no doubt I would have saved myself tons of money in the long run, and would have been making more money by now. So regardless of whether you decide that Alex Jeffreys coaching is the program for you I would urge you to find someone as a mentor. Alex is an enthusiastic and likeable character who I couldn’t imagine anyone not getting along with, and he will personally see to it that you succeed in this business.
The new Alex Jeffreys coaching program will again have a capped membership and the last one sold out in less than a week, as Alex has now raised his profile since this year I imagine this will sell out much quicker. If you would like advance warning and instant notification of when the course goes live then enter your name and email below.
I will not use this email for anything else other than to notify you about the coaching program launch.

We’ve all heard people telling us that we’ll never make money online, it’s all a waste of time, it’ll never work and many other negative things about internet marketing.
But it does work. Some people become rich and others make nothing at all, even lose money. So what’s the difference between these people? The people who succeed know the lies in this business and do not believe them.
Here are 5 big internet business lies:
Lie #1: Starting and running a internet business is expensive.
You can actually start an internet business with very little cost. There are many high quality affiliate programs where all you have to do is concentrate on marketing. The follow up, product delivery and support are all done by the owner of the affiliate program.
Lie #2: You can make easy money on the internet.
People still have a tendancy to believe that they can make money on the internet overnight by doing hardly anything. We are constantly being bombarded with systems that have made people millions in just a few days. Which may well be true for that particular launch, but it takes months even years of work to get yourself in a position to use a system that will make you millions.
Lie #3: You must know HTML, web programming and graphic design to start your business.
You don’t need to know all of these at all. Or even any of them. There are marketing guru’s out there that don’t even have the first clue how to put up a website. The trick is in finding the right people to work with. You can outsource jobs that you can’t do yourself, or joint venture with other marketers to combine your skill sets.
Lie #4: You don’t need to know how to sell on the internet.
Many people hate selling, and these people get attracted to ads that claim ‘no selling necessary’ or even ‘this product sells itself’. Usually these products are unfeasible and run by fly-by-night marketers. Do you really think it’s possible to have a successful business by doing nothing at all? The trick is not to try to sell to people, but to educate and inform them. Show them the benefits to their life if they owned your product.
Lie #5: You don’t need to build a mailing list.
I know you’ve all heard the ‘money is in the list’ mantra. There’s a reason you’ve heard it so often though, because it’s true! But more importantly, the money is in the relationship with your list. Deliver value over and above their expectations and you’ll be well on your way to success.
The above 5 are just a few of the internet business lies out there. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
