Where do all the newbies go?

I was talking today with Mary, an acquiantance [soon to be a really good friend, mentor, coach and fellow traveller]. We were discussing how difficult it seems to be to get all the pieces of the internet marketing puzzle together in easy to do simple steps.

Seems to both of us that by the time a product is created [ new product or affiliate/JV], and a web site is built, hosting is paid for, autoresponder etc are paid for, maybe adsense or pay Per click, etc etc., there can be, [ and no doubt often is], quite a drain on resources before one even begins to garner a return on the dollars invested.

That’s always part of the attraction and challenge of starting any new venture. And, of course the Web is full of ‘instant’ turn key promotions that promise but do not fulfill in quite the way non tech beginners can quite grasp! There always seems to be a gap – not forgetting the key – t0 attracting traffic or potential buyers to your site.

Having said all that, and having had a bit of a moan, both Mary and I are determined to make this e – commerce thing work. Available to us are state of the art affilaite programs for e bay and a super Science of Getting Rich [ you've heard of 'The Secret' - right?].

So, if anyone out there has the answer to our dilemma, we’d love to hear from you!

There is the seed of a new product creation – can you see it?

More Than Meets The Eye!

My mission has been for some time to create a presence and an income on this great World Wide Web – the internet, but, no doubt like many of you, my actions – or lack of them – have ensured that this has not happened. Until now!

Seems to me  – if you believe some of the ‘hoopla’ that goes with Internet Marketers’ promotions, that their offer is the next big thing and to remember that all that has gone before is now old hat and won’t quite work if one wants to generate a serious income. Well, I’m not so sure! Surely there is room to dip a toe in the water without commiting huge amounts of monthly [or other], fees, to try out various options, maybe build a relationship or two, gain insights, get advice and generally grow organically.

It may be that blogging is such a vehicle. And, courtesy of WordPress, here I am with my first blog, dipping my toe in the waters of the WWW!

As a certified Life Coach, Master Practitioner in NLP, one of my great interests and passions is personal development. I know, the Web is full of wonderful work in this area, there’s plenty of information of all flavours, ther are courses and even virtual Universities with world renowned teachers and motivators contributing.

Well, I’d like to contribute also in my own small way. I’m not entirely sure what ultimate form this might take. There may be an affiliate programme or two that I’ll talk about here – in fact right now I have access to amazing product on being successful on e Bay!! More later.

I have a mentor – a very successful Internet Marketer and Copywriter – he also espouses simplicity and starting off low cost. Of course there’s nothing wrong with investing as much as you are comfortable with and fastracking [hopefully], your substantial income. Maybe I’ll go that way also, maybe not – meantime I’ll start putting some meaningful content up here on a regualr basis and, who knows a great dialogue could ensue!

I certainly welcome any questions from professionals or newcomers alike – I’ll find or share the answers as the case may be – that way we all get to share!
