The story so far… in a galaxy far far away.
2009 over and done, so it’s time for a recap on the progress on my internet marketing blog.
First of all, may I thank everyone who has visited my blog & left a comment. An ever bigger thankyou for all those who’ve joined my mailing list over the last 6 months. I really appreciate it. Without visitors, this blog or any other blog are completely useless. At the end of the day this business is all about your subscribers list…
On my About me page, I ambitiously stated that my goal was to aim to be earning a living from Internet Marketing by the end of 2009. We all need to set goals, otherwise we have nothing to do work towards and we are all just floating around aimlessly. In retrospect, I now believe that this date was a bit ambitious, and that building anything worthwhile usually takes time, and effort. Internet Marketing is not a get rich quick fix, it takes time to get things moving. I got some negative comments on my blog when I innocently promoted a Twitter product that I had used to help me get my Twitter following up from the hundreds into the thousands (it’s now over eight thousand). It seems some people don’t like being sold to, even if you truly believe and know the product you are promoting works well. My lesson seems to be that people like to buy, not be sold to. Writing this post has got me thinking about time and the value of it. Its been 6 months since I started on my journey learning about Internet marketing, I’ve learnt so much over this time to be honest my head hurts! But there is still so much more to learn & this industry is moving so fast. I’ve made good progress, but I need to focus more on my goals and stick to my plan.
Its a new year, the perfect time for some new ideas, so I’ve created a new blog about The Swine Flu Epidemic, if this is a subject that interests you, then pop over to here, this is the first of what I hope will be a series of “the truth about” blogs. I plan to create blogs about subjects that I feel are extremley important and current.
Thinking about the value of time, I’ve felt the need to get my point home across to you by posting the following insiptational video, hope you enjoy it.

Hi Robin
I’ve been there with goals made and not achieved, yet I know that I would be much the poorer if I hadn’t made them – even if all I learned was about goal setting !
You’re right that people sure don’t like to be ‘sold’ to, even more so now that a dollar is only worth.. actually, how much is it worth, these days? It’s hard to come by is all I know, and the internet world offers us chances that aren’t available elsewhere.
So to our success, in 2010!
Anthony

Every one understands that today’s life seems to be expensive, nevertheless we require cash for various issues and not every one earns enough money. Thus to get good business loans or auto loan would be a proper way out.
Snatch email leads from websites such Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and other social networking platforms where people will willingly give you their name and email and beg you to sell stuff to them.
Unknown can be undeniably like me. On occasion yet I have ailment doing it.
