How Much Are You Making Online
March 27th, 2009 | 
Author: 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.

My Favourite Site Ever Part 2
Why did I put this post in tutorials I hear you asking.
No, I did not press the wrong button 
In life you need to look at the successful and copy them.
This sales page in itself is a great tutorial on how to do things. Running through his/her product is another tutorial. I honestly loved it and think it may have been the best $7 I spent this year.
You will not be disappointed in this if you read between the lines
You can tell how much I loved it as I am still thinking about it today and enough to blog about it again.

Google Shows Us The Way To Go
Image via Wikipedia
Google have released heir own SEO guide. It is a 22 page easy to read pdf covering the basics of on page SEO.
I think it is a great idea and should help beginners (newbies) with getting their site up without buying this, that and the other (meaning the latest SEO ebook, software or script).
Don’t get me wrong, there are some great products out there, but ‘information overload’ can and will arrive. The people just starting out get it the worst as they search desperately for THE THING that will get them to where they want to go.
My suggestion to everyone would be to start small and build on it …
1) Buy a domain
2) Sort out hosting
3) Create a one page site selling something
4) Drive traffic to the site
5) Learn one thing new
6) Implement that change
7) Drive traffic to the site
Repeat steps 5 to 7 until that site is earning you a steady amount
9) Repeat all steps with a new site.
By the time you reach step 9 you will have learnt a lot and can implement it all straight away in your new site.
Just think, it may take you 6 months to get your first site earning $100 a month, but it will only take you 3 months to do it for the second one and less for the third etc … Within a year you could be earning $500 extra a month.
I know there are lots of people offering you lots of money per month with little effort, but this is just not the case. If you are a fast learner or have some knowledge already you are already ahead of the game.
However, stop chasing the next big thing and put yourself to work. Taking action is the only way to succeed.
Google is giving us this information, which means that this is what they use to look at sites. Implement this if nothing else. You can download it here.
Let me know your thoughts as always, I love hearing from you.
