Time Sensitive Offer - Get Adwords Free!

I received an email from the guys over at Wealthy Affiliate today, letting me know about a Special Offer, only valid up until Tuesday 20th August. Kyle & Carson are giving away their amazing ebook Beating Adwords for those that join the Wealthy Affiliate community.

Now although I've been there for a little while, I only just purchased Beating Adwords tonight, and read it, and I think it's a really great deal. Beating Adwords alone costs $67.00 so you'll be $67.00 richer than me if you join by Tuesday! And cut down your learning curve immensely! To live and to learn..


Apparently there are those 'gurus' out there bagging the newbies that are blogging about Internet Marketing, like I am. Hey I don't profess to be any guru, it's more of a 'hey come share my journey as I learn and blog about what works for me and what doesn't, what I think are good deals both free and those that I am affiliated with. Hopefully others will learn and perhaps be inspired. I know I was and still am when I read newbie journeys in this. Because it Did sound like Rocket Science at the start...and newbies will tend to not speak the mc-jargon!

Oh, I've written up a detailed review of Wealthy Affiliate HERE.
Anyway, if you are ever over at WealthyAffiliate one day, drop by my WASpace and say G'day!

Focus Focus Focus

I wish it was my middle name. I think ADD is though...lol. Apart from having the attention span of a gnat, I am learning the value of focus. The trouble with internet marketing is I want to know it all (now), do it all (now) and when I flap my wings around, nothing much actually gets achieved.

I'm also realising that the more I know, the more I realise I don't know in this game. Ohhh there is so much to learn! And I'd just love to learn how to code and make pretty templates! But there will be time later for all that, why waste time learning it now when I can outsource it? There is a lesson here peeps, - learn to outsource. Yes that includes me too. We all seem to be afflicted with this desire for control, to learn it all from the ground up...and waste amazing amounts of time doing so. Repeat after me...outsource, outsource, outsource. Earn your first sale or two, and turn the money over into outsourcing - this will free your time up to do something you do enjoy - internet marketing-wise, don't go running off to play golf now, ok!

So I guess I should put my money where my mouth is and outsource something. What? Mmmm, ummm, I'll get back to you on that. Perhaps a website. I might go and purchase one ready-made. This will save me the time of creating it - just ensure the affiliate links are in, and go promote it! Of course this means having done the research already, so you know the topic is a viable one.

My First Website!

Wowee! It wasn't so hard after all..because I'm using Site Rubix
which is free within my Wealthy Affiliate membership. What I did was set up a Review Website, reviewing products that are available for purchase over the internet.

I'm also in the middle of creating another website using Site Rubix but am nowhere near finished yet! This one is more personal..based on something I have a bit of a passion for. It's actually quite a lot of fun, just takes a bit of time to learn and implement, let alone creating content for the site.
Phew! I'll let you know when it's ready..

Also looking into something called website flipping. Sounds like I'm gonna have to learn html after all. HTML is the programming language used in programming today. How times have changed since I studied Computer Science in Year 12/12th Grade...where I then could program in something called Turbo Pascal. On those podgy little Apple Macs back when it was green text on a black background. Of course then I fell under a rock for the next 10 years or so as far as computers went!

Oh and I'm also learning PPC marketing - Pay Per Click - the Ads you get on the Right Hand Side when you do a google search. Not sure if that includes the Sponsored (Paid) Ads on the top of the page but assume it does. You pay a set price when someone clicks on your ad. Hopefully the website ("landing page") is relevant enough for the person to follow through to the merchant's page and make a purchase!
