Well, Christmas is behind me (I hope you had a great one) and I am getting ready for the upcoming new year. I have already started "brain storming" and coming up with a game plan for 2011. I am going to take things in a new direction this year but not entirely. I am going to keep going with the Internet marketing but will be focusing my attention on helping newbies by holding weekly webinars.

The new part of my business is going to be more of a traditional type business in that I will be dealing with local businesses in my area. It will still be dealing with the internet but my clients will be offline.

I stumbled upon this almost by accident. I still work a 40 hour per week job at a company that specializes in automated welding. The company owns their rather large building and leases a portion of the space.

One of the tenants is a company that works on race cars for people involved in the Sports Car Club of America and even have a few NASCAR customers. They do car and engine modifications or will even build you a car from the ground up if you wish. They also provide training for "wannabe" drivers and they rent race cars.

The owner would always see me working on my laptop during my lunch hour and asked me what I was doing. I told him about my internet marketing business and he asked me if I knew anything about SEO. We talked for awhile and he handed me $500 to start working on his 4 year old website which was currently on the 10th page of search results for the term "race car rentals".

I now have him ranked #2 on Google, for the same keyword phrase, and another listing on the first page complimented by several on the second page of results. He is on the first page results for Yahoo and Bing as well. We are working on a contract right now where he will be paying me monthly to do all his SEO work as well as getting ready for the mobile boom which is taking place.

Around the same time, 2 things happened that started me down the path of becoming somewhat of a local marketing expert. The first occurred when I did a promotion for a local marketing product called Internet Street Fighter. I became so impressed with the pre-launch content that I purchased the course myself.

The second thing happened by coincidence. I had been putting together a membership site when Internet marketing guru, Gary Ambrose, launched his Memberspring product. These were WordPress sites with a plugin to handle the members area and ready made content to give you a good starting base for the site.

I purchased the product and one of the sites was about Local Marketing. Between the Internet Street Fighter training, which is still ongoing with monthly webinars, and the content in the membership site, I have become very knowledgeable about marketing to local businesses.

I have also purchased just about everything I could get my hands on to further my education. I have included a lot of these courses inside the members area of my local online marketing membership site. If you are interested in doing something like this, my site would be a good place to start.

I would recommend the Internet Street Fighter course, which has proven to be an incredibly useful resource, but the membership is closed and I am not sure if it will ever open again. The truth is, if you have been in the Internet marketing field for any amount of time, you probably know 10x more then any local business owner.

That is one of the main reasons that I have chosen to change gears in 2011. Compared to trying to make online money with Internet marketing…

This stuff is Easy!

The knowledge that I have acquired over the last 5 years about SEO easily puts me in the "Expert" category. If you include what I have learned about upsells, email marketing, copy writing, and the general webmaster skills I have learned, I am an online genius as far as the average local business owner is concerned.

The same is probably true for you as well. The skill sets we develop as Internet marketers are very specific to our niche and not something the general public even has a clue about. That makes your knowledge very valuable.

This is a very interesting time in history. We are at the beginning of a technological explosion which is about to take off at light speed. I hold an Electronics degree from Devry University. One of the courses I took during my final semester there was called "Ethics In Technology".

We would talk about emerging technologies and discuss how they would affect the world on a social, economic, and psycological level. We had models that we would use to compare and contrast against current and older technologies.

Sounds pretty boring right?

Actually, it was at first. Then as we ran through a few models and looked at some of the emerging technologies, I became fascinated with it. It seems that throughout history there have been pivotal inventions and discoveries that enable huge spurts of advancement.

Things like the forge, which enabled the creation of high grade steel and more lately the silicon chip. Both of these creations were catylists that caused the technology of their time to grow exponentially. The impact that they had on society, and the economy are too great to be measured.

I have always been intrigued by quantum physics and especially the cyclical nature of the universe. Just about everything you can think of can be represented mathematically and even more so as a "sine" wave. If your not a big math or science buff, that's OK.

What I am referring too can easily be represented by any stock chart. Especially one that covers a long time span like 20 years or more. You will see that prices are always on the move, like an electron moving around the nucleus of an atom. The movement will be on the upswing for a while and then it always swings the other way for a while.

Many wise investors have taken advantage of these types of trends to position themselves one way or the other and make a lot of money. We are at a period in time where there are some of these trends are showing signs that it is time for them to change directions.

There are also some emerging technologies that are going to create some incredible opportunities for people to monetize if they position themselves properly. The local marketing trend is only one of them. There are also going to be all kinds of "spin offs" that are going to occur that will be very profitable for those in the know.

Starting tomorrow, I am going to be posting information here on this blog that will help you take advantage of some of the emerging and upcoming trends that are going to be potential money makers for everyone who can position themselves properly.

So bookmark this page and comeback tomorrow. I know you will find the information helpful if not interesting. You can also sign up to be notified via RSS.

See you then.

and I have put together an incredible bonus designed to give you all the tools you need to take advantage of Jeff's training. Let me explain that statement a little.

I have been a member of the Underground Training Lab for some time and have only scratched the surface on all of the content that is inside the members area. Operation Quick Start is a brilliant idea that Jeff came up with in response to feed back that people were running into information overload.

I understand why he did this. The training lab is made up of 10 modules. Each module has hours and hours of content consisting of videos, audios, and pdf"s. When I first logged in and skimmed through the modules, I new it was going to take weeks to go through all of this content.

Jeff has taken the KEY points from all the modules and broken them down into 7 Quick Start Guides. The guides are made up of action items that are designed to get you making money as quickly as possible. This will help eliminate people's tendency to put off taking action until they finish the entire course.

Now, as I was looking through the guides, I noticed that some of the tasks may still be beyond a beginners comprehension or simply something they don't feel comfortable with. generic levitra Even though there is a lot of step by step instruction, it's still not the same as having someone with you looking over your shoulder.

I designed my bonus to buy cheap ampicillin address this and other issues. I have put together a kind of "mini" coaching program that will make sure that you are taking the proper steps to create an online business that will make you money now and moving into the future.

You will also learn the basic technical skills that all Internet marketers need to know how to do. I am not saying that you should do these things yourself. You should outsource as much as possible. The problem is that most people who are starting out don't have the budget to outsource.

The truth is that even though you will outsource a lot of the more technical issues, you need to understand how it all works. I will show you how to do what is necessary until you reach a point where you can start outsourcing.

I hope I have peaked your curiosity. I am not going to explain the bonus here because I have already dedicated an entire page to it. I think you will find that I have put together a package of tremendous value and I dare you to find someone offering a better bonus.

happened.

After 2 days of waiting I assumed all was lost. I have been concentrating on getting my Giveaway directory back up to speed because, as you know, the Giveaways have been popping up right and left and I have been working my butt off keeping my site up to date.

So today I fire up the computer and my blog comes up with my lost posts and the sign up form for my new ebook back in place. Surprise! Surprise! (any Gomer Pyle fans in generic levitra price the house) I checked my safelist and my other blogs and they are back to normal as well.

The funny thing is that now the blog post I made the other day is gone. So, I need to redo that post or at least touch on the main thing that I wanted to say. It was mostly a rant about my screwed up hosting but I am over it now and am just glad things are back to normal.

Mostly, that is. My email is still acting screwy. I can't view my email using Outlook like I usually do. I have checked all the settings and frankly I am getting tired of messing with it. If you want to send me an email make sure you use this new email jt@oventures.net

This is on my first ever hosting account that is with Zoot Hosting. It was part of a deal that I got when I joined as a lifetime member to Adtactics safelist a couple years ago. I have never had a minute of downtime with this hosting. I don't use it much because Cheap Levitra I am limited to one domain name. But, I only paid a one time fee and I have the account for life. Not a bad online Ampicillin deal.

The weekend is here and I have worked a deal out with the wife. She is going to take the kids and vacate the premises as much as possible this weekend so that I can work in peace and try to get caught up. I have made great headway so far and should have every thing back to normal this evening.

Then I can continue setting up some peoples giveaway products for them. (thank you for your patience everyone) Then to get in touch with my partners in crime and launch a JV Giveaway event!

easier. The next few modules are going to act like a big filter. We have already lost about half of the students. I am not saying that they have quit, but they are not taking action which dooms them to failure. I can only hope that they will get off their duffs and do something, but I am a realist and fairly good judge of human nature.

The next few weeks are probably going to weed out even more of the students as the realization hits them that this is hard work. I will be surprised if 25% of the students remain at the end of the program. I hope I am wrong and I hope that if you are one of those that might be wavering, you will take this as a challenge and do it, if nothing else, to prove me wrong.

Here is something to think about. When this coaching program is over, Alex is going to start another one. He has already said that he is going to charge at least $2000 a head for 500 positions which will give him a $1,000,000 payday or week, depending on how long it takes to sell the 500 spots.

He is going to let us be his affiliates and make 50% of the sale. We have the potential to get a piece of $500,000. If there are 250 of us left, we could each make $2000 by selling 2 spots each. Are you going to be positioned to sell 2 of those spots? The truth of the matter is that there will probably only be 100 or so of us selling the spots. Also, there will be a handful of students that will sell more than 10 spots and some that don't sell any.

Alex is preparing all of us to be ready to make the most of this opportunity but the affiliate sales will only be icing on the cake. The students that are taking action have already started publishing ebooks, creating partnerships, and just plain kicking ass in general. I am proud to be part of this group and I see big things coming in 2009 for all of my fellow students who take action.

Taking action is the most important step but you want to make sure your focused and have your goals written down. I have mine printed out and tacked to the wall in my office so I see them everyday. I am also going to post them here for the world to see which will help motivate me to accomplish them.

Here are my goals for 2009:

Personal
1. Vacation this year to buy cheap ampicillin visit wife’s family in Venezuela.
2. Lose 80lbs. target weight is 250, currently tipping the scales at 330.

Entrepreneurial
1. Create systems for all my tasks and start outsourcing.
2. Find at least 10 serious JV partners.

Business
1. Build a mailing list of 7300 subscribers. (that’s 20 per day)
2. Continue to write for the Profit Pulling Project, re-brand, and distribute.
3. Write my ebook series “The Web 2 Whammy” which I will use to build my list and then monetize with a follow up video series.
4. Spend at least 1 hour a day oil rig hopping. 1/2 hour for students and 1/2 hour with Comment Kahuna.

Income
1. To generate a minimum of $50,000 with my online business this year.

Some of them may seem lofty but you have to aim high. Actually, if I achieve all levitra online price of my business goals, I think the income goal will be the easiest to make.

So here's a cyber toast to everyone. "To our success in 2009"
