How Much Are You Making Online

I do and have done quite a bit of one on one coaching and before I get started with a new client I have a list of things I ask them so I can assess what they need. When I get to the question ‘How Much Are You Making Online’ the person I am asking almost always seems to get uncomfortable. There seems to be a very large taboo over admitting to failure and/or ignorance, which is silly.

No one knows how to use/do something until the learn it.

No one knows success until they have achieved their failures.

Together with mentoring people to a place where they have a system that works for them to follow, I also teach them how to motivate themselves, which in turn makes them more productive. Out of the 18 students I have had, not including my current ones, 15 have gone on to making a full time living online, 2 have given up to go back to work full time and the last one has disappeared off the face of the planet.

I try to write a lot of tutorials and ’systems to follow’ type posts because I know that this is what helps my mentoring students. They are all like I was about 18 months ago, lost, but now they have purpose and have stopped spending on things they do not need or do not have he time right now to implement, which is also important.

Today two of my students, of the 18 above, have just finished their mentoring. One of them has come on so far that he has paid off about $20,000 in debt and is now earning enough to support his family without having to rely on credit (he has been my best student and I am very proud). He is capable of building (scaling up) his business as much as he wants now he can focus.

I did ask my students if any them would be happy to share their story ‘in public’, but they all declined. In a time where everyone is a guru and niches are stolen right from under you, everyone preferred to stay in the dark. One of them promised a video testimonial though, where they are balcked out and their voice is all scrambled, but she has never done something like this before, so has set off to learn how to do it.

So, as of today, I have two spots open for mentoring. This is the first time I have offered it on my site because normally I find students through forums and the like where they need help and I am available to provide it to them, but after one of my subscibers said she wanted to learn anything I could teach her I thought maybe someone I had not yet had the pleasure to meet online would be interested.

If you are interested please contact me using the form here, giving some details about where you are and what you are finding hard to overcome and we can go from there.

I do not charge ridiculous prices. My fees are based on the individual means and needs of my students and how much time you and I can both commit to it. Some people take longer than others to learn things while others take it in like sponges. We are all different.

Well, it’s Friday again. Thankfully the weather forecast is good, so I can take the kids to the park and let them out on their bikes so they can knacker themselves out. Having to stay in on a rainy weekend makes them go crazy … and me … lol. Have a good one and we’ll catch up next week.

This One Is For You Sherry Ann Oakes

Good old Monday rolling back again. For those of you that go out to work this seems to be the hardest day of the week, but for me it is one of the best because I get a break from running round after my three boys over the weekend, especially this one as my husband was away :)

So, Sherry Ann Oakes filled out the ‘I Want To Learn About’ box, a few days ago, when she signed up at IMMembership.com, with “anything you could possibly teach me would be so appreciated.!”

I was quite touched by this as only about 10% of people that sign up actually fill anything into this box and it is normally short like “how to build a link”, which I have already answered and elaborated on this week. Sherry Ann is obviously keen to learn and get started and almost certainly an action taker. Am I right Sherry Ann?

I have taken my time in deciding what I should teach Sherry Ann & I have decided to do a 30 day training to get a brand new site up and running including how to get traffic and sales. I know this has been done many times, but never for free and not in the way I am going to approach it.

The main problem that most people face when they get started online is that there is sooooo much information and sooooo much hype and tooooo many products that they are completely overwhelmed. No one seems to start something and see it through to the end. They are always leaving it half done and then moving onto the next big thing (launch). I just heard about a $197 offer that is completely ridiculous, because so much is included on so many different topics it is not going to help anyone. Even if someone  actually took the time to read it all, they would be so  overwhelmed they would not be able to do anything with any of it.

I know how it is and what you are going through because that was me last year. I had about 200 domains, none were finished completely and some did not even have anything on them apart from the godaddy parked page. I had accumulated about 350 gigabytes of articles, software and products that I gave up sorting them out because it was just taking up too much time. Finally in September 2008 (when the kids went back to school after their 2 month holiday) I sored myself out. I sold all my domains, bar 5 or so, got rid of all my hosting accounts, bar 1, and spent two weeks just sorting the ’stuff’ I had accumulated into some sort of order so that I could see what I had. In October I really got going. I created a system from the knowledge I had gained in my time online and built 2 websites at a time. One website I built following the system and the other I changed the system slightly. After two weeks I looked at my results and went with the system that was working the best. I then built 2 more sites and so on and so on, until now I have about 30 sites all making money. I also took one day a week ‘off work’ to learn something new. Personally I need brain food, but it is good to keep up with the news and what is going on in the world.

Some make more than others and I don’t want to go into how much I am earning, because it changes from month to month and I want you to know that you do have to work. If you are looking for a hands off solution to $100,000 a month then by all means buy the product selling it and follow it to the letter. When it doesn’t work how you thought it would you can come back and do my training :)

The training I am offering is for anyone that is willing to commit to themselves (you don’t need to commit to anyone else but you as you are doing this for you) that they will stick to it and see it through to the end. You have nothing to loose as it is not costing you anything.

I am going to get started probably Monday next week as I have some other posts already in mind for this week. Before I get going with it though, I will give you some guidelines so you can get ready …

  1. ALL the tools I will use for the training are FREE (I will assume that you have none to be sure everyone is on the same page)
  2. DO NOT Buy Any More Stuff - whatever it is you do not need it for this training (if you still want it once you have finished, please go ahead, it is your money)
  3. YOU MUST HAVE one domain name already registered with hosting set up ready for Day 1 (I will post some videos on how to do this before I start the training and it can be done in one day)
  4. This is my system. Exactly what I do myself when starting up a new site, just in 30 days rather than two weeks. We all have our own pace, so you can go quicker or slower, although I don’t recommend you do more than two days training per day.

I hope this is the kind of thing you were after Sherry Ann :)

Getting Started

When signing up for your free Keyword Domination report over at IMMembership.com, Lee wanted to know how to get started for free earning some money before he invested in other tools to make it big.

This is a very interesting question, which is why I chose to cover it first.

First and foremost you need to take action. You can only make something if you put something in. There is a saying that you need money to make money, but in the case of online marketing this is slightly different. If you have little or no money to start off you need to make more of an effort and will see less return, but as your returns/profits come in you can invest this in your online business, work less and create more profits.

So, how do I get started for free?

Follow the 9 easy steps to keyword domination laid out in the report at IMMembership.com, but instead of buying a domain and getting hosting you would use web space on someone else’s site.

There are lots of websites that will let you create your own site within their site. These sites rank highly, so if you build your links as you would with a site you owned you should be able to rank highly for your keywords.

Here is a list of just some of the sites available to you (there are loads more, just do a google search for free web space and free websites) …

I hope you found this post helpful. Please let me know your thoughts by posting a comment.

What are you waiting for? Get to it :)
