Hi all,

as many of you might know I have been involved in the Internet Marketing scene now for just over 3 years. However I have actually been in out of the loop for around the last 6 months as I recently started an offline company with my new business partner (Lukasz) in the weight loss & fitness niche (see video and post below for more info).

This new offline business involved finding new offices to operate from, legally registering the company with companies house as a Limited (LTD) company, setting up business accounts with the local bank, attending exhibitions to promote our new range, networking with directors and buyers within the weight loss and fitness niche and many other various advertising, marketing and sales activities.

So as you can imagine I have been pretty busy in the last 6 months getting our new business venture up and running.

However I was always determined that I would not let this new venture take me away from the Internet marketing scene as I had already previously put in a lot of work into my online business, especially with regards to building a mailing list, making important contacts online, creating products and setting up my online marketing services site. Also not to mention the amount of money I had invested in IM products!

So with the offline business now set up and running, I decided it was time to slowly ease myself back into the Internet marketing scene and begin to pick up where I left off. However this was not as easy as it sounds. It seems 6 months away from the IM scene can be rather along time in some peoples eyes as I quickly noticed that a lot of the contacts I had made and even built friendships with were no longer so forth coming after finding out that I left the online scene behind to pursue another business venture.

Even though I had explained that it was an opportunity I couldn’t afford to miss, some of my IM contacts were mildly annoyed that I dropped everything to pursue a new business and saw it as some kind of betrayal. Whether this was because I was not around to help promote their products or simply because I had other interests, I am not entirely sure. Buy hey-ho, you win some you lose some and I am very thankful that I still have some very good friends in the IM niche that I can turn too and even do business with.

Anyway the point to this post is that I feel my Internet Marketing journey begins again right here and I couldn’t be more excited. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning and cant wait to get my teeth stuck back into it as Internet marketing is a real passion of mine and I do get a genuine kick of helping others, interacting with others and sharing ideas in the same field.

I know I have been away for a while and do want to offer an official apology to anyone who was and still is subscribed to my email list. It has been a long time since I sent out any kind of email or broadcast but if you are still subscribed I can assure you that I have some great content coming soon.

I am also in the process of creating my much delayed affiliate marketing product which teaches others online how to make money as an affiliate including the complete process of choosing a suitable product to promote, setting up a review/bonus site, getting that site ranked in the Search engines in time for launch and so so much more!

I will even be listing my new product as a WSO (Warrior Special Offer) for a limited time before the official launch so my subscribers and fellow warriors can grab access at a knock down price way ahead of the launch date.

By the way, if creating a WSO is something you have been thinking about then I would recommend John Thornhill’s WSO Domination. I recently purchased it as a WSO for a reduced price and am steadily going through the content which I have to admit is top notch, especially the training videos where John leaves no stone unturned in creating the perfect WSO. I shall be copying and using his methods to create my own WSO in the coming weeks.

Any way, that’s all for now, I know this is a longer post than normal but I just wanted to share my joy at officially returning to the Internet Marketing scene. Please do watch out for my next post where I will be exposing all of the IM products I have bought to date (which is a lot) and what I have done with them.

All I can say is Procrastinators – you are not alone

Until next time,
Steve.

I am very proud to give to you a guest post from Pete Bruckshaw today. Pete is an expert eBay seller and has kindly agreed share some of his extensive eBay knowledge with you my readers & subscribers.

Over to you Pete:

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Five Reasons Why Auctions Fail

1. You and your bidders don’t understand each other

Do you get annoyed with local retailers or tradesmen? Or get tired of listening to recorded music on the phone when you’re waiting to talk to someone?

On eBay you are the supplier to your customers. Do you sometimes think “I don’t need to explain this any more, people will understand”? That’s taking your customers for granted.

Create your auctions so that anyone can understand them, including new eBayers. Test them on your friends and family. Ask for criticism. Where there are faults correct them, and keep up your good practices with subsequent auctions. Treat your customers the way you want to be treated.

2. Low positive feedback

A lot of people are too attached to their eBay IDs. Maybe you made a few mistakes when you started off. Perhaps you went on holiday and didn’t ship orders on time. If you have too many negative or neutral feedback ratings, consider opening a new account. Many eBayers are not aware that you can have more than one account. But it’s easy to open one with a new or different email address. You’ll know not to make the same mistakes with your new account.

3. Not shipping overseas

Thousands of bidders are missing out on sales by not allowing overseas customers to buy from them. If your items are suitable for sending abroad, check postal costs for sending your items overseas and include the details in your auction.

4.Weak auction titles

Make sure you get the important keywords relevant to the item you’re selling into the title. If you use a subheader, there’s no need to waste this with keywords, as the subheader isn’t included in searches. Mix important words in capitals with less relevant words in lower case to capture your prospect’s attention.

5. Low quality images

Amateurish photographs can lose you an auction. If you are selling an electronic item, search Google for a stock image. You can use these legitimately, the images are there to sell the products. However, be upfront with your customers if the item doesn’t look as good as the picture! I have always used stock images on second hand items and have never had any complaints. If you have any unusual items that don’t fit this criteria, again see what the best of your competitors are doing and draw inspiration from them.

Keep on top of these five aspects of selling, and you should see an improvement in your eBay auction success rate.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Thanks Pete, great content! If you enjoyed reading what Pete had to say here today then do please leave a comment below.

I also just wanted to give a quick mention to Pete’s brand new eBay eClass. You see I have personally reviewed the content inside the members area and used it to turn my hand to making money on eBay. Infact the wife is even using his course right now to set up a brand new eBay empire.

Simply follow the seven weekly lessons where you can watch right over Pete’s shoulder to copy and implement everything he does to start making a living online from eBay. Pete has even been kind enough to offer my readers and subscribers a massive discount so anyone can get started right away:

eBay eClass VIP Discount

I just wanted to also state that I will make NO affiliate commissions off this, as it normally sells for $47 and I thought it would be better if you, my readers subscribers could use my commission as a saving which is why Pete has put together the special discount page. Just my way of fully endorsing such a great product and helping my subscribers in the process.

All the best,
Steve.

I do not normally post other peoples Warrior Special Offers here on my blog but I thought this offer was just too good to not let my readers and subscribers know about.

The WSO in question is from John Thornill and he really has gone above and beyond to get this fantastic product into peoples hands for less then the price of  a couple of Starbuck coffees!

The product in question is Affiliate Promo Formula (Do Not Buy From This Link) and as a member I can vouch for its content. It has actually helped me generate over $7,000 in commissions for my affiliate promotions already and John himself used the exact same methods to bank over $21,000 last week in one of his affiliate campaigns so it flat out works.

Anyway I will explain more in this quick video I created. I hope you enjoy the content and recognise a bargain when you see one.

If you have any questions or comments then feel free to leave them below and I will get straight back to you.

Steve.

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to give you quick guided tour of my brand new office. After countless viewings and negotiations I finally agreed terms on my new office on Friday 17th June and Today (Saturday) I have started to move my stuff in and wanted to share this moment with you so I created a quick 2 minute video.

Obviously I need to put the finishing touches to it like add a meeting table and chairs and get my dry boards up on the wall but I will do all of this on Monday when I officially start working from my new office here in the center of Bracknell Town.

For anyone who hasn’t heard of Bracknell it is a small town in the south east of England and although it is not anywhere near the size of London it is a place that is up and coming and I am delighted to have secured my first official office right in the center of this busy business town.

I am hoping this will provide me with a great base in which to make leads and meet new clients for my brand new offline business (I will share more about this new business venture in a future post). I am also hoping that being based in such a busy office with other like-minded people business owners it will give me a fantastic chance to network and make important contacts that I can use later.

Anyway enough from me, check out my video below if you would like to see my new office, I apologise in advance for the lighting but as I moved in on a Saturday and the building was empty it was a little dark and I couldn’t find the light-swtich for the reception area . I guess I need to familiarise myself with the building.

I hope you enjoy and I’ll be in touch again soon with another video and post from brand new office.

Regards,
Steve.

Firstly allow me to start off by apologising for my lack of posts in recent weeks. This particular time of year has been a little bit hectic for me as I am currently in the middle of moving house as well as signing contracts on my own brand new office.

Anyhow I will talk more about this in my next post as today I wanted to talk about the Bupa 10K Charity Run I completed last Monday as well as to say a massive thank you to all of you that sponsored me.

Now even though my 4 month training plan did not go quite as I had planned, (it actually turned into more of a 3 week training plan), I stil managed to complete the run in a very respctful 58 Minutes 01 second.

The reason my training did not go quite as planned was due to several key factors:

1. Life and work unfortunatly got in the way
2. I had several injuries to contend with during training such as a brusied ankle, shin splints and pulled calf.
3. I simply ran out of time.

However I arrived in London in good spirits knowing that I had at least trained pretty hard in the last few weeks building up to the event, I avoided alcholol and eat a resonably healthy diet so I felt pretty good and with the sun shining and the atmosphere buzzing I knew I was ready.

As this was my first charity run I decided to pretty much do what everyone else was doing so I partook in a few obligatory warm-up stretches before the race then got into position for the start. 

I was actually in wave three of nine that set off at 4 minute intervals so as not to congest the roads all at once and as the countdown began I felt my heart beat a little faster and thought to myself: ”this is it, hopefully in 75minutes time this will all be over and I would have done it” (75 minutes was actually my target and predicted time so needles to say I was delighted with the actual time achieved).

The first Kilometer seemed to fly by which was good news to me as when I was in training on the treadmill the first KM always seemed to take forever. Perhaps it was the wonderful views and sights such as the backdrop of Buckingham Palace when we set off and Tower Bridge as well as the hundreds of people on the roadsides cheering us on that made it go even quicker than I imagined.

Anyway 3KM in and so far so good and luckily I could see the water tent up infront as I was now feeling rather de-hydrated already especially as it was quite a hot day. So as I passed I grabbed a bottle from a Bupa volunteer , drank about 3 sips and poured the rest over my head. It was the much needed cool-down I was looking for and gave me an extra step in my stride as I ploughed on to the 4KM mark down Cannon Street with the echo of drums being played under the arch ways as I ran past.

I was very much relieved to be now approaching the halfway mark at 5KM when I would get my split time to see how well I would be doing and then I saw it : 27mins 46 seconds. I actually couldn’t believe I was that quick as I was expecting to see a time of around 35 minutes. This gave me the extra motivation I needed to push on and record a really good time so I upped the pace and was now weaving in and out of other runners passing them at will when suddenly…something didn’t feel right, much like when you feel your car slowing and you start to check the petrol tank light.

I was slowing rather significantly and the people who I had just surged passed were starting to over-take me again, as I saw the 6KM point approaching I felt my thighs and legs suddenly turn to lead as I came to a rather sudden stop. It was my first stoppage in the race and as I began to walk for a few steps and regain my breath I realised I had pushed on too quick too soon and should have kept my steady pace going for a big push at the end.

I also realised I still had 4 kilometres to go so I knew I had to pick myself up and crack on.. and then I heard some clapping and cheering from the roadside and this encouraged me to lift my lead-feeling thighs and start jogging again, ”that’s it Steve, it’s just one foot in front of the other, keep going and it will soon be over”, I told myself as I strode into a gentle jog and then back to my steady running pace. I was starting to feel okay again, I had gotten my breath back and although my legs were now feeling incredibly tired I just kept pushing forward, taking in the great sights on route that London had to offer.

As I saw St. Paul’s Cathedral coming up I knew we were approaching the 7KM mark and told myself ”7 down 3 to go..almost there”. It’s amazing how you can motivate yourself by creating small targets along the way and this was really helping me now.

However each Kilometer was now seeming to last longer and longer as the run progressed and I now started to pass many jaded walkers who it seemed the race had defeated a little early and they had decided to walk the rest of the way.

Up in front though was the 8KM mark as we passed Nelsons Column and I knew then with just 2KM to go I could up my pace just a little and still try and record a fairly decent time.

There were was some much needed shower sprays on the horizon that we all ran through slowly to get as cold and wet as possible as we were all now at boiling point running in this Bank Holiday Monday heat.

As I emerged from the shower spray I felt refreshed and reinvigorated and this helped me up my speed once again as I started passing more joggers along the way without turning it into a full on sprint this time.

9KM and I see the happy faces of my charity organisation (The British Heart Foundation) on the roadside with their big red heart inflatable cheering us on, I throw them a thankful wave and push on to spot my wife leaping out in the road to take a picture. Bless her! She tried taking the underground around the course to get some pictures of me and finally caught up with me at the 9KM mark to take a few snaps that I slowed down for. Thank you darling, you were there with me every step of the way!

Last KM now and I feel so relieved to be so close to the end and not suffer any of the injuries that I had in training as I took a hard left into Trafalgar Square I realise I am so close now as I see the 400 meter mark and begin to put in my big finish and up the pace.

I can just about see the clock and begin to realise I could come in, in under an hour so I give it all I have and really sprint now and cross the line to cheers from the hundreds that are spectating and cheering us all in. I come to a sudden stop, and catch my breath to realise I actually did do it in under an hour. I walk towards the stewards who provide a much needed bottle of lucozade, a goody bag with a winners t-shirt and a winners medal that I proudly place around my neck.

The feeling of finishing a race like this where you are cheered on from start to finish and all the time knowing you are doing it for a good cause is quite unbelievable and I must admit I felt incredibly proud to be involved in such an event.

Will it be doing it next year?

Perhaps, but this time I will put in a lot more training and try to beat my time of 58 mins 01 second that I recorded this year. Thanks for reading this longer than average post and a MASSIVE thanks to all of you that sponsored me.

With your help we actually ended up raising several hundred pounds in online and offline donations for the British Heart Foundation and for this I am extremely grateful.

Steve.

Hi guys,
firsty I am sorry this post isn’t internet marketing related and is a bit ”off the wall” compared to my usual topics but I wanted to take this opportunity on my blog to fill you in on my marathon run that I will be competing in in the next 46 days.

You see I have agreed to run the BUPA London 10,000 Marathon on Bank Holiday Monday 30th May 2011 and I will be sponsored and raising money for the British Heart Foundation.

The British Heart Foundation was founded in 1961 and nearly 50 years later, with people like you supporting and giving so generously, the advances made against heart disease are far beyond anything the founders could have imagined. There is still a long way to go and this is why I have decided to get involved in this run and help raise as much money for this incredible charity as possible.

When determined, resourceful people work together to reach a common goal – it’s amazing what can be achieved and this is my personal chance to help make a difference and raise money for a charity that helps saves the lives of thousands of people with heart problems every single year.

I now have a dedicated sponsor pagewhere all money collected is sent directly to the charity organisers by a third party processor so you know your transaction will be safe. I am well into my tranining now and am hoping to be fighting fit when I do take on the run in London in just over a month’s time and I know with your help and support we can really make a difference and help this incredible charity.

Remember all donations no matter how big or small all count to helping in making scientific breakthroughs that directly helps to save lives.

Thanks for taking the time to read my ”off-the-subject” post today and I look forward to reading any comments you may have.

Oh by the way I apologise for the picture on my fundraising page, I tried to find a picture of me running but none exist so I went for the most athletic looking pic I could find.

Thanks again!
Steve.
