My sole purpose in enrolling in an Inhenternet Marketing Course was to promote my primary business, TriVita, a neutraceutical company dedicated to healthy and wealthy lifestyle. After all, what sense would it make to be the wealthiest person in the cemetery? When I selected Alex Jeffreys as my internet marketing coach, I had no idea where that choice would lead me, however I didn’t have to worry about the money, If I felt like it wasn’t for me, or the course wasn’t what I expected, Alex guaranteed me a full refund any time during the course.  I wasn’t afraid to pull the trigger and ask for a refund, I had already done that with one other coaching program.

I want an inexpensive way to a to drive massive amounts of targeted traffic to my websites. I need massive amounts of traffic in order to generate enough quality leads to develop a huge customer base as well as a throng of possible business partners interested in building the same residual income that I was building. Clueless is a pretty descriptive verb for my depth of knowledge when it came to understanding what would be required to make my expectations a reality. I needed more help than I knew, how does it go, I didn’t know, what I didn’t know, truer than true. To my disappointment, I soon found out there was much more involved then I had anticipated to accomplish my end goals.

During our first conference call I was filled with anticipation, Alex described the coming weeks and lessons we would learn, I got excited, in my own way of course, I am kind of a low key guy, some people have called me a little on the dark side, I disagree, the ones who see it that way are usually the giddy, bubbly types, I see myself as a realist, right is right, wrong is wrong, black is black and white is white, so simple. Just because I am not grinning from ear to ear, jumping up and down, doesn’t mean I am not happy or excited.

What I never realized is just how much I would be expected to do, I just figured what I cannot do in two hours a day, I would outsource, right, isn’t that what all the gurus do. Technically, that’s true, but you have to understand what it takes to complete the tasks involved and what to expect if you do hire someone to do these tasks for you. You don’t want to appear uninformed or ‘clueless’, you may end up paying too much money and getting a substandard product. You do need to at least understand what is necessary to accomplish the end results you seek, a valuable lesson learned in of itself.

Week two arrived and it was like a bolt of lightening right out of the blue. Everything seemed to be casual and Alex was describing what we would be doing and how he was giving us his Profit Pulling Platform, what I didn’t know was that I would have to do everything to get this website up and running. I would never have attempted to do something like this on my own, but with the excellent training videos, gracefully provided by Gary Parkes, I was actually able to accomplish the task at hand and within a few days time , I had my money making website up and fully functioning, ready for traffic and paying customers. Wow, a major breakthrough for me. Of course, I did not write the HTML code for the website, I did however, take the website from files and upload the entire site to a hosted site, configure the necessary technical attributes for the site, and I was open for business on the world wide web, it is a giant step for me.

Little did I realize the fun had just begun, the following week Alex piled it on, we were going to build our own blog. Now, I had several blogs already, but I didn’t build any of them, I just supplied the content, I didn’t even know how to post to a blog.  I wasn’t sure I was up for the challenge, and it was going to be a challenge, I had to build a blog! Which includes; Wordpress template selection, a task that turned out to take hours, configuring the blog for Categories, Pages (?), a Blogroll, Archines, Plugins and all technical jargon that I am unfamiliar with, a much bigger challenge than the Profit Pulling Platform from Alex. Another former student stepped up,, Tommy McLaughlin provided us with a series of blog setup  video tutorials, without which I would have been totally lost. As it was I found it difficult and am sure I fell far behind many of my fellow Marketing with Alex students. It has taken me three weeks to set my blog up and get enough content on my blog that it was worth promoting, you can’t expect traffic to appreciate an almost empty blog. I picked a template that suited me, it fit my personality, and I write more or less how I speak. It won’t meet everyone’s approval and that is really not the expectation, hopefully, it will attract more people than it doesn’t, and it will supply value and entertainment to the people it attracts.

In summary, I have to give myself a C+, I would like to have given myself a B+, but it has taken me a little too long to get to my blog setup and to the point it may have some value. I am enjoying the marketing course and I am glad I decided to have Alex Jeffreys be my mentor. If I can measure up to the standards that Alex has set, I expect to be able to leave my day job in the next year and be a full time internet marketing entrepreneur, with a huge TriVita business as my base income.
