As you may know from my previous posts and Blog Talk Radio Show recordings, February was the launch of Doug Champigny’s PowerStart 2010 Internet Marketing Coaching Program, of which, I was privileged to be student.

To give you a little background on Doug, he is a 25 year marketing and and advertising expert. A business consultant, super affiliate, joint venture expert, author, speaker, an excellent instructor and a heck of a nice guy.

Now, I want to reinforce for you that this coaching program was not just another Internet Marketing ‘thing’. Obviously, given the current economic conditions, many people are turning to the Internet as a means to supplement their income or, as in many cases, create an income to support themselves and their families.

The problem is that there is just too much bad or incomplete information available to newcomers to our industry and Doug created this program and set it at a price point to get these folks going, without all the none sense.

As well as helping those who have already begun online to move forward confidently by teaching them the skills and providing resources to move their business forward.

Oh look! There’s a pop-up, with a question mark! Yes! You are wondering what we have done this past month. Well, fasten your seatbelts!

The first week we did keyword research to identify a niche, bought a domain name for it, set up our hosting, installed WordPress blog platform(from scratch, not thru Fantastico), installed a theme, added the plugins, connected the blog to social media sites, wrote articles, posted to our new blog, created a report from these articles, created and uploaded our squeeze page and set up our autoresponder.

Week two, he took it easy on us(yeah, right!), all we did was generate two products to sell, prepare the squeeze, thank you and download pages, upload to our hosting and put it all online.

Week three, we wrote more articles and submitted them to directories, learned to set up pod casts for our blogs and submit to directories. Learned how to create video and submit to directories. BTW, all of this is done using free tools. How cool is that!?

Week four was affiliate products, adding them to our blogs(in the coding, not widgets) and setting up redirects.

Can you feel the burn? All of this is done with step by step videos, audio, and a lot of patience and hand holding from Doug, which he is very good at.

Doug is an excellent taskmaster. Always there to answer questions and provide support. He doesn’t hold a gun to your head and that’s a good thing because, if he did, I would have some flow through ventilation going on right now.

So, there really only remains two questions:

1) What did you do last month? and

2) What are you going to do this month?

Yes, I very highly recommend Doug’s PowerStart 2010 Coaching Program. Whether you are just getting started or having trouble moving forward with your business.

You not only get all of this excellent training, you also meet some really cool people in the program. And when you are there, in the program, and wondering who you might do a joint venture or network with? Just look around at the other members.

Opportunity is constantly knocking. All you have to do is open the door!

Thanks for your time!

As always, at your service,

Jim

We had a great show today with Mark Hendricks.

Mark Hendricks is a business and marketing expert; sales copywriter; joint venture specialist; software developer; an author, speaker, consultant, mentor, and success coach.

And we think that we have a busy day!

In our discussion, we covered some basic ideas about creating an online business and the mindset someone who, already has, or is thinking of starting an online business should have.

Also, a couple of the programs Mark offers, one that will get you get started and keep you growing in an online business. And another that will help develop a positive, productive mindset toward your business and your life.

The first program that we talked about is the Ultimate Success Program. In this, you are helped to develop the mindset that you need to achieve the greatest benefit of your life and business. You are, after all, already successful. Sometimes we just need a direction.

Oh! There’s one more very important thing that I need to tell you about the Ultimate Success Program. You can get it without cost! Yes, the entire fifty module program, at no cost. Well, almost!

Mark has set a goal of getting ‘one million’ members into the USP program ‘this year’. To realize this goal, he has decided to give you this program for a promise. Actually, there are two, but they are the same to save confusion.

You must promise, to yourself and to Mark, to complete the program in its entirety. Follow the worksheets, do the homework and interact in the forum. You owe it to yourself to do this!

The second is Mark’s flagship program, the Internet Success System. This system takes you step by step, through twelve modules, from the basics of creating an online business to the more advanced systems and techniques needed to keep it going and growing.

You see, the Internet Success System is not just a membership site. It is a mentoring and coaching program, a wealth training system, and a place for you to meet and share ideas with other very successful people.

We also talked about Mark’s preferred hosting company, joint ventures and the importance of attending live events. Like the event that Mark is hosting on January 15^th in Orlando, Florida, the Internet Super Stars Conference. This is an all business, hands on, educational workshop.

Now, this is just the beginning. We have many more Expert Speakers coming to share their knowledge and expertise with you.

All you have to do is attend the our show over at Blog Talk Radio. And take notes, of course!

See you there! And thanks for joining us!
