Alex Jeffreys is now excepting new students for his second coaching program, Marketig With Alex 2.0. Since I am a former student, I can tell you first hand that Alex Jeffreys is the man you want as your mentor. If you have been reading this blog, then you already know that he has completely turned my online business around.
In my last post I said that I was going to make a series of posts that would cover the most important things that I have learned from Alex, how I implemented them, and what the results were. That plan kind of got shot in the foot. I am in Venezuela on vacation. I came here because my wife is from here and hasn't been home in a long time.
She told me that she had internet here and that was not a lie. What I neglected to realize is that the internet service here is slower than when I was using dial up and 14.4 bps modem! I have been pulling my hair out all week trying to send a couple of broadcasts out with Aweber. Every time I click on a link I have to wait 15 or 20 minutes for it to load, that is, if it doesn't timeout.
It totally killed my whole strategy that I was going to use to try and make a few affiliate sales for Alex's new coaching program. After you read the posts that I mentioned above, I know that you would have been dying to get into Alex's program. There would be know way to resist after you saw first hand what he has done for me.
I was also going to create Squidoo lenses, Hub pages, a Weebly page, and a Wet Paint wiki, to dominate the serach engines. Easy for me to do with a targeted key word like Newbies Nightmare or Marketing With Alex 2.0. Well, it's kind of difficult to do all of that when you are just barely able to get online.
The only way that I have been able to make this post is because we drove an hour and a half to Maracay, which is a larger city. I am in what passes for an internet cafe here in Venezuela. The internet connection is still barely faster then a snail, but at least I can actually bring up a web page before it times out.
This is probably going to be my last post until I get back. It's just not worth the aggrevation. The first couple of days I was really getting stressed out because I knew that by not getting all of the things done that I mentioned above, I was going to leave a lot of money on the table.
After just about ginding half of my teeth away and sending my blood pressure through the roof, I remembered something that Alex had said. "Don't chase money, let money chase you." I realized that I was getting stressed out because I was concentrating totally on making money. I was chasing the money.
So I decided we would go into the city today, and I would make this one post. Send a blast out to my list with Aweber, set up an auto tweet with Tweet Elite Pro, and call it quits for the next week and a half. If I make some affiliate sales, all the better. If not, I'm none for the worse.
I am going to concentrate on having fun for the rest of my time here and rest. When I get back to Florida, I will be alone in the house for a month before my wife and kids return from Venezuela. Well, I won't be totally alone. Our beagle Snoopy will be there to keep me company.
I will have 4 weeks to put work on my JV Giveaway launch and get every thing ready for my new product launch. I am not going to release any details just yet but I will say that it involves list building. So, if you are thinking about joining Alex Jeffreys new coaching program. Hook a brother up and purchase through my link.

I know Alex can help you like he helped me. It has made a huge difference in my life and I know it will for you too.

Alex Jeffreys released Newbies Nightmare in the wee hours of the morning today. It was actually last night but technically today since it was about 1 am EST. I was up working on my computer and Twittering when he sent me the link.
I immediately downloaded it and read through it. I was not disappointed. This is really good stuff. No hype, no fluff, cut through the bull sh*t, tell it like it is information. Alex lays it on the line just like I knew he would.
He has taken all the information and experience that he gathered from his first coaching program, which I was a part of, and identified the biggest problem that keeps newbies from being successful and making money online.
Now I could spill the beans right here and save you the time and effort of reading the book, but I'm not!
Ok then, am I being a jerk or what?
No I am helping you out. I am making you take action just like Alex did in our coaching program. Everything he did was designed to make us get off our butts and take action. He even held several contests with cash prizes of over $1000 to urge us into taking action.
Alex really cuts to the chase with Newbies Nightmare so it's not like I am asking you to read a novel or something. Its a 45 page pdf and the print is not super small. A 30 minute investment of time at most. So click on the link and start reading. You will enjoy it.
Now if you are wondering why you should listen to Alex, all you have to do is look at what he has done for me. If that isn't enough, you can see what he has done for my fellow students as well. Go to http://mycoachingstudents.com and see first hand what the "Fortunate 500" have accomplished.
After you read Newbies Nightmare, leave me a comment and tell me what you think. You can also ask me any questions you might have about Alex's coaching program.

This other day I was on a webinar with my coach, mentor, and friend, Alex Jeffreys. He was telling me about the upcoming launch of his new ebook, "Newbies Nightmare". This is some what of an inside joke for myself and fellow students of Alex's first coaching program.
Alex coined the phrase during one of our coaching sessions a few months back. Those few months almost seem like years now. It seems like a long time because I have made such huge advances with my online business.
Now I am not a newbie per say as I have made some money online. Over the last 3 -4 years I have taught myself a lot about SEO and social media. I can set up a website or blog without too much trouble and have a pretty good knowledge of how to put the bits and pieces together for a marketing campaign.
Some of my fellow students were not so lucky and I remember that when I first started trying to do all of these things it was a nightmare for me as well. What I found was that even though I knew how to do a lot of these things there was still a very big hurdle for me.
That hurdle was uncertainty. I had read so many ebooks and bought so many products that promised to be that "blueprint" that would take you to riches, but it was all just generalized crap that left out some very important aspects of creating an online business.
I had tried so many things that brought mediocre or no results. I decided to go to some live events and rub shoulders with the people who are making it big on the Internet. I quickly discovered a couple recurring themes that kept popping up in conversations.
I made it a point to approach some of the big "guru types" and try to pick their brains a little. They all asked me one or both of these questions.
- Are you building a list?
- Who is your mentor?
Now while I was kind of half heartedly building a list, I had not considered a mentor. Well, let me re-phrase that. I knew that I couldn't afford a mentor.
Actually, the truth of the matter is that considering the time and effort that I had spent over the last few years, I couldn't afford not to have a mentor. This still didn't change the fact that I was looking at several thousand dollars to secure the advice of one of the big gurus.
It was not possible for me at the time so I put it at the top of my priority list and started to squirrel away money to make it happen some time in the future. Well, as luck would have it, I got an email from Mike Filsaime one day. This is a common occurrence seeing as I am on his email list.
He was going on and on about one of his students, Alex Jeffreys, and how Alex was opening his first ever coaching program. I clicked on the link and was taken to a video. I sat and listened to Alex and was immediately taken in by his obvious passion for Internet marketing.
By the time he got to the end of the video I was actually a little depressed. The reason I was depressed is because I really liked this guy and he sounded like he was offering exactly what I wanted. The problem was that I just knew he was going to drop the big price tag here in a few seconds as the video was winding down.
I almost fell out of my chair reaching for my mouse when he said that he was only going to charge $497. Now I am not one to jump into anything. I quickly went to Google and started doing some due diligence. I had heard the name a few times but had never read or used one of his products.
When I was looking around, I saw something that was very different. Most of the stuff that he had produced, he gave away for free. I ran across his latest report, Guru's Dream, downloaded it and read it. I then went back to the sales page and signed up.
Turns out, that was the best decision that I have made in a long time. The seven training modules along with the un-announced bonus modules, which included webinars with people like Maria Andros and Andrew Fox, have changed the way I do business on the Internet and have increased my profitability.
Alex also showed me how to increase my productivity by planning and setting goals. I work a 40 hour job and have a family that takes up most of my time. The time I spend on my Internet business needs to be super productive. Alex showed me how to concentrate on the things that make me money and avoid the time "wasters" like email, Skype, and doing things I'm not qualified to do.
The webinar was this past Friday night. It got me thinking about all the things that I learned and the changes that I have made to my business plan over the last 6 months. I have been revisiting some of the modules and also looking through the journal that I keep.
I am really amazed at how different things are for me now. Before Alex Jefferys coaching program, I was just about ready to give up on the whole Internet marketing thing. My wife was pressuring me to do so and I couldn't argue with her anymore. I had spent a lot of money trying this and trying that and really not making any significant progress.
The coaching program was going to be the last chance. If I couldn't make it work with the aide of someone who "really" knew how to make money online then that was going to be it. I am so glad that I gave it one last shot.
The first module was about planning and goal setting. On new year's day I made on comment on Garry Parkes blog and listed my goals for 2009. My main personal goal was to take my family on a vacation to Venezuela. My wife is from there and she hasn't been home in 5 years.
Well, this coming Monday morning, we get on a plane headed for Caracas. The plane tickets and the two thousand dollars fun money are compliments of my online business. The fact of the matter is that since joining Alex Jeffreys coaching program, I have made more money online than I did the previous 3 years put together.
I am telling you this because Alex is going to be giving away his new ebook "Newbies Nightmare". He will also be launching his new coaching program in the next couple weeks. I have decided to go through my student journal and share what I did over the last 6 months to turn my online business around.
I will make a series of blog posts over the next 5 or 6 days that will relate the techniques and strategies that Alex taught me and how they ultimately changed the profitability of my business and my life. So stay tuned. I am going to reveal some killer stuff over the next few days.

I just got back to my room after the first day of Alex Jeffreys workshop in Vegas. Man, I am so glad that I did everything I could to make it here! Aside from getting some killer content from Alex (some cool videos to follow in a few days), I am making some great partnerships with my fellow students.
I met a couple guys that are making a big splash in the Internet marketing pool lately. You have probably heard of them.
Jit Uppal and Lance Tamashiro are a couple fellow marketers that are also building their lists with JV Giveaways but are taking their list building to a new level. Both have agreed to do interviews with me and we will talk about some of the techniques that they are using to build their list.
I am not going to reveal anything here but I will say it is some very good stuff and I guarantee you are gonna love it. Looks like I am going to achieve another one of my goals her in "sin city". I think I will call it "win city" from here on out.
Why?
Because not only am I meeting some awesome joint venture partners, I have been able to secure a link to a program that might just be a "game changer" for you. Today, Alex was telling us about a new Internet marketer that has been taking the IM niche by storm. In only about 8 months time, he is already making almost $100,000 per month!
That is amazing for someone so new to Internet marketing where the learning curve can be quite large. Alex said that he is a "natural". He is just one of those people who "gets it". He has authorized me to give you this free gift so you can learn a little bit about what he is doing.

I really think you will like this. Go check it out and then come back tomorrow for another live report from Vegas. I am going to go down and have some dinner and a few coldies.
Maybe even make a few more deals

If you live in sunny Florida, like I do, then you can feel that spring is in the air. Hi 60's at night and low 80's during the day will give you a bad case of spring fever.
It stays green down here year round so you don't notice the seasonal changes as much. I like to sit on my porch and drink coffee in the morning and here lately it has become noisy.
Not a bad kind of noise, just lots of birds chirping their celebration of the arrival of spring. But that's not what I wanted to talk about. I want to talk about "tweeting", as in the kind of bird noise you here on Twitter.
I joined Twitter back in it's infancy, mainly to secure my username "jtmartin". I didn't really participate much until recently. I have seen the awesome potential and as such, have started to do some research and look at the multitude of software and applications that are available to increase your followers and automate your Twitter account.
I ran accross one the other day and gave it a try. I was really surprised by the results so I thought I would pass it along to you. All you have to do is follow the link and enter your Twitter info.
Then promote the link they give you, but remember to put your Twitter ID in the last part of the URL. You will still see results even if you don't promote, but like all things, the more you put into it, the better results you will see.

Did I mention that you also get 3 free Twitter ebooks for trying the viral software? It's a no brainer.
Check back regularly because I am going to be posting some other cool stuff about Twitter as I uncover it. I am probably going to put together a report that will list all the cool resources I have found.
