Hey Everybody

I’ve  laughing for the past ten minutes and thought I’d share it with you, I came accross some of Forrest Gump’s Quotes,

Forrest Gump: Mama always said, dying was a part of life

Bumper Sticker Guy: [running after Forrest] Hey man! Hey listen, I was wondering if you might help me. ‘Cause I’m in the bumper sticker business and I’ve been trying to think of a good slogan, and since you’ve been such a big inspiration to the people around here I thought you might be able to help me jump into – WOAH! Man, you just ran through a big pile of dog ****!
Forrest Gump: It happens.
Bumper Sticker guy: What, ****?
Forrest Gump: Sometimes.

 Forrest Gump: Mama always said life was like a box a chocolates, never know what you’re gonna get.

 Forrest Gump: He was from a long great military tradition. Somebody from his family had fought and died in every single American war. I guess you could say he had a lot to live up to.

Lieutenant Daniel Taylor: Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?

Forrest Gump: I didn’t know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir.

 Forrest Gump: I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floatin’ around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it’s both.

 I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did,  and it brought back some happy memories.

Sorry Guys just to prove I was at 1st Postion on 23-01-09 email sent to Alex on that day. But Then I realised that I was signed into Google and because I had clicked on the up arrow it sent me to the top, what an idiot, but then I sent it because Alex didn’t say how to get  there!! but I don’t think he meant it this way.

Well as you may guess I’ve decided that now is the time for me to get to that number 1 spot above Alex. I have been working away at developing my niche markets, so for a bit of fun I’m putting up this post to see if Google will enhance my position.

I’m not too sure though as it seems I’m sliding down the pecking order, as Alex’s Web 2.0, Business Motto is… don’t chase money – let money chase me, you have to understand making money online is all about positioning yourself, so I’m trying to position myself No 1 so I can get my hands on his $1,000, and that will pay my Aweber fee’s and Hostgator fee’s for a while and yes they are affiliate links, why the hell not, I’m targeted every day by the Guru’s trying to sell me the same old stuff I was selling a year ago, OK, maybe they’ve packaged it different and up’d the price but it is the same! 

Am I having a Rant sorry,  but now and again I feel I want to have go at someone .(Garry Simpson gets away with it!!)

Anyway Marketing with You is No 1 for Alex and he says “You have to go out and hustle to MAKE things happen”,  Hmm, Hustle, well one of my favourite TV programmes at the moment is ‘Hustle’, which is about a group of “grifters” or “Con men”,  as we know them, but I’m sure Alex just means push yourself forward, OK, If Andrew Fox is reading this post Can I Please Drive Your Boat, or Mike Filsaime lend me your NISSAN GT-R.

I think I’ll have to stop now, but then again, have you seen all those twitters going on between KOTOBOT, Dean Holland, Garry Parkes and Harry Harris, Hmmm, what are you guys up to? Intrigue, Joint Ventures, or are you all just going to go to the Pub, any invites?

A new task for the Students of Alex Jeffreys was to do a video which would help drive traffic to their website/blog, I have had many truly inspirational moments but trying to put them in a video would task even Steven Spielberg, (if he had to use a digital camera),  anyway I stand in awe at the quality of the videos the Students have on You Tube, and I’m sure they only have the same digital camera’s as I have. 

If you want to spend an hour or more being entertained then I suggest you go to You Tube and search for Alex Jeffreys, well done to you all, I must admit at being a little ashamed of myself for not getting a video on, but one thing I did not mention was Alex is offering a prize of $3,000 now if that doesn’t inspire you and me,  to have a go, then I don’t know what will. So go on have a go lets see by the end of the week every one’s video on You Tube.

Alex Jeffreys uses Twitter to communicate and make friends with people he has not met, a classic example was Maria Andros, Alex said he made contact with Maria on Twitter and then spoke direct.

So What is Twitter?  Twitter is a very simple concept and once you understand it you can use it to your advantage, just like Alex did with Maria, because Twitter is limited to 140 characters or less it makes it a very creative medium to work in.

Once you start using Twitter you become a Tweeter, it is known that even Hillary Clinton tweets, the more you use Twitter you more you’ll see the advantages it has for business, as it combines the best parts of blogging with the best bits of getting in touch with people.

When most people start using Twitter they just tell people what their doing, but you can use it to ask questions, ask for advice and network with people.

There is a very good guide to using Twitter and if you’d like a copy leave me a comment and I’ll send you a copy via email.

I have been asked by many of my subscribers to explain what is meant by list building, so here goes.

Having a product is good but it is NOT a business.

What is a business?  A business is having the products and the customers to buy your products, many people believe that by just having a product on a web site they will make money, sure the occasional person may stumble across the web site and buy, then you feel dejected and look for something else.

Which is why so many people fail in Internet Marketing, you may have heard it before but this is important, “ The Money Is In The List “ please learn this one thing you have to have a list before you can sell, or put it another way.

Imagine you have decided to open up a retail shop, you check out the area which you think is right for you go to the wholesalers and buy up your stock, you spend many hours displaying your products and pricing them up, you put up a sign in your window opening tomorrow.

When you open the doors of your shop you wait, your waiting for your first customer you only have a few that day and it does not get better what do you do? You decide to advertise, you’ve still got to pay the rent and wages and you still haven’t got a real business until you have customers. I know this is not always the case will retail stores but what I’m trying to get over to you is in Internet Marketing you haven’t a business until you have a list of customers to sell to.

So, you have to learn how to build a list of customers or list building as it is commonly called. My mentor is Alex Jeffreys, and he has written a great report called you guessed it List Building With Alex, you can grab your free copy here no cost, nothing, nada, zip, just click this link and it will be with immediately whatever the time.

So who is Alex Jeffreys? Well he lives in Wales in the UK with his partner Katie and their son Cameron. Alex started an on-line business in February 2004 and Alex did not realise the importance of list building for at least a couple of years (or more like it Alex did not understand how to build a list in the beginning).

When Alex eventually started to build a list he didn’t see much money coming in and so like us all he started concentrating his efforts on other things. E-bay  was where he made good money importing and selling motorbikes, and selling information products on CD’s through E-bay.

Then in 2006 Alex Jeffreys attended a seminar and Tim Knox became his mentor, he told Alex “the moneys in the list” and once again Alex concentrated on building a list so he could make money on Auto-pilot in the November Alex launched his first product Easy Profit Auctions, and then Post launch Profit Secrets.
