Marketing With Rob

I sort of reached a cross roads with my online business.   Maybe you’ve asked yourself a similar question.    How do I make good steady money online and what would I enjoy doing?

Everything I look at to do, always ends up much more complicated than I originally thought it would be.  But I’ve also realized there is no easy way, at least at first.

So if I’m going to plunge into something that even seems fairly simple, it will take concentration, effort, determination and some smart decisions for it work out.

In looking at simple it’s brought me back to e-bay at least for awhile.  So that’s what I’m doing at right now.  Setting up buying products both locally and nationally and re-selling them on e-bay.  Also checking sites like Sam’s Club, Costco, and JC Penny’s for hot products that I can turnover on e-bay for a profit.

Now that is work too, because e-bay is a bargain hunters market so it’s not always easy to find products to flip for a profit.  But I assure you they are out there.  I’ve found them many times.

I had a good talk yesterday with Chris Malta.  Chris is the founder of worldwide brands and is regularly on e-bay radio as their product sourcing expert.  He’s made millions on-line.

I’m considering working with Chris on a one to one basis.  He’s not a hype guy and will work directly with me on my own business.

So lets get focused and not multi-task or we’ll get nothing done.   It takes great focus just to not get sucked up into information overload and jumping on the next big launch.

In a few months I’ll be somewhere else in my on-line business.  And it’s all good because I know I will have money making systems in place and be ready for whatever I want to focus on then.

If I can ever be of any help, leave me a comment.

Talk soon- keep on keeping on,

I just finished Maria Andros coaching program titled “The Social Media Traffic Blueprint”.  So instead of using the usual words of great, awesome that don’t tell you anything real.  This is what it did for me.

It gave me knowledge I really don’t think I would find or find in one place together elsewhere.  Knowledge about ways to really enhance myself in Social Media.  Actually when I heard Maria say the blueprint is a 2 year plan to implement.  I stopped feeling guilty about not getting too much done.  You see the course was like a rich chocolate cake.  Filled with intense deep teachings and it all can’t be implemented that fast.  But it’s all very powerful.  If you’ve followed her at all you’d see she knows whats she’s doing.

The most important part for my own direction and growth was my half hour one on one time with Maria a few days ago. (this was part of the course)  She peered deep into my spirit and let me know what I could change in my mindset.  What is the most important direction to go in my business.  And what exactly I can do to make both of these happen.  Just what I needed as I was feeling lost on my own Internet Marketing direction.  Also certain thought patterns were holding me back.  Now that was an eye opening half hour.

You know my youtube channel has gone from 3 subscribers to 53 in the last 2 months just by following some simple advise by Maria.  This increase in views and a following is a great boost to me because I know I want to specialize in this niche.

So now I’m taking Harlan Kilstein’s class.  Harlan is a top copywriter that has worked for the likes of people like Frank Kern.  This class is a lot more than copywriting.  It’s a program to change your mindset and a step by step instruction to not just find a niche but build a 7 figure business.  I’m 2 weeks in and I’m real happy with it.

So my wife Laurel wanted to know why I keep going from coaching program to coaching program.  My answer is I need to learn and I feel really good about the choices of mentors I picked.  I mean Jim Cockrum, Alex Jeffreys, Maria Andros and Harlan Kilstein.  There all enormously successful and great teachers that don’t hold anything back. If I wasn’t making progress then you’d have to say it was a mistake as they all cost money.  But I am moving forward and I feel so great and empowered because I really have the knowledge and tools to soon go full time in this.  How about full time in early 2010.  Do you think I can do it?  Well I do.

My organizing my business is now done on a white board.  I needed the simplicity to organize my thoughts, planning and work.  So the white board has worked better for me than other methods I tried.

What do you think?  Where are you at on this journey?                                                                                        Rob
