Marketing With Rob

I write this post just hours away from 2010.  Strictly from an Internet business reflection point I ask myself- What did I accomplish in 2009?  What do I believe I will accomplish in 2010?

My work as a projectionist in one of the world’s busiest theaters in NYC kept me, well busy.  I’m talking most weeks were over 60 hours and some 70, 80 and more.  So juggling family, church (where I teach 5th graders) and my Internet business was a balancing act.

Thanks to Alex Jeffery’s coaching early in the year I was motivated to write my first e-book which was about how I was making a steady clickbank income making short amateur video infomercials.  Wow! was that ever a good thing to do.

Jim Cockrum liked my e-book so much he promoted it 4 times to his massive list.  Also because of opt-in’s into the bonus pool of Jim’s membership site “My Silent Team” (link under Rob’s Favorites) to get my e-book, my list exploded very fast with many really great people that I got to know personally. 

Next my love of videos got me excited to join Maria Andros coaching last April.  I loved Maria’s coaching as she is an outstanding teacher.  Just following a few of her pointers my youtube account grew from 3 subscribers to close to one hundred.  There’s so much more from Maria’s coaching I still need to implement.

Then in late May it was off the Las Vegas for an exclusive get together for just 25 of Alex Jeffrey’s 1st coaching class.  There I saw the power of making connections with others in the Internet Marketing community.  We had such a blast and learned so much.  Alex amazed me as he taught in such depth for many hours and never asked for a dime or anything from us for it.  I’m proud to say that if you type in Alex Jeffreys on youtube my video of the event has been #1 out of close to 19,000 other videos for the past 6 months.

Next up to bat was my e-bay Diabetic Test Strip Business.  This business took off like a rocket.  I’ve sold $20,000 of these little jewels the last 4 months of 2009.  So what’s up for 2010.  Well I’m focusing on 3 things at the start anyway.

1- Ebay  Of course continuing and expanding test strips.  Adding new products which I already have started.  And in Feb taking my good friend from the UK Dan Briffa’s e-bay coaching course on finding fertile markets on e-bay, buying from China and rebranding the products with my own brand.                    

 2- Affiliate marketing I’ve already enlisted Pauline who edited and formatted my e-book and even put up this blog.  She is going to be putting up affiliate word press sites for me.  Video marketing will be a big part of this.               

3- List building I have really enjoyed my first year as a guy with a list.  I’ve stayed true to my instincts. Write as myself, not use swipe copies when promoting something.  Only promote products or coaching programs that I actually paid for myself, used and found great benefit from.  On Jan 24 I’m heading out to Vegas again to attend Alex Jeffrey’s coaching get together for his 2nd coaching group from this past summer.  Part of why I am going is because the main focus is going to be on list building.

So there you have it my 2009 and my very optimistic look into 2010.

Share with me what you’re plans are for Internet Marketing  in 2010 and how I can be of support.
