Register for my free Internet Marketing Class which will begin on December 14th, 2009. Yes… you will have to work through the holidays. That’s the way business goes. I’ll see what I can do to take it easy on you during that time.

If you have attended e-courses in the past you may see a few things you’ve seen before with some very exciting new twists. The course will cover all of the steps in my book “A Peasant’s Guide To Internet Marketing” plus a good bit of bonus material. One class will be emailed to you every week for a total of 12 weeks.

I wanted to share this information with all of you who read this blog on a regular basis first.

If you’re new to the field of Internet Marketing this course will be very intense for you. I truly hope that you are both excited and passionate about this opportunity. You will need your passion to help get you to the end goal. It may be difficult to keep up. I promise you that!

If you’re looking to become an overnight sensation and all you want to know is how long until you can afford to buy Google then I’m afraid you may be in the wrong place.

You will not become rich overnight. You will, however, learn the proper steps to build an online business that you can be proud of. If you don’t quit and give up like most newcomers do, it will generate income and could very well be the start of a new life for you and your family. That’s the beauty of it. The amount you earn will depend entirely on your individual work ethics.

Building your profitable Internet marketing business will require no less than a sincere hunger to learn, dedication, persistence, solid moral and ethical values, basic computer and Internet skills and a host of other traits that only a true entrepreneur will possess.

Procrastination won’t be afforded to you. Most of you already know how I feel about procrastination.

On the same token, If you’re willing to put forth a genuine effort to apply the steps in this course you may just find out that all you really needed was a little nudge in the right direction. A passionate hobby can become a flourishing business quicker than you think.

The Press Releases will be coming out shortly.

It may be to your benefit to consider signing up pretty soon. It’s going to be quite a bit of work for me as well so I can only allow 500 sign-ups per class. If you don’t make this one you will still be able to register for the next class scheduled to begin on March 15th, 2010.

You may notice less frequent blog posts over the next few weeks as I still have much preparation to do.

Also, if you find yourself wondering why I’m doing all this for free just think about it for a minute. The answer is pretty simple and it’s two fold. The first reason is because I sincerely get a sense of self gratification helping other people. The other is a little more sinister in nature. I want to sell more books! After you become successful in your own online business there may be a good possibility that you will consider partnering with me and become an affiliate. The end result is that we all earn more money and that’s the way it should be.

If you wish to sign up for the free December 14th class right away just subscribe in the upper right hand corner of your page. Your private information will never be sold or shared. I believe a person has every right to be concerned about their privacy. I’m concerned about mine.

Please be sure to note 12/14/09 after your name in the “name” box. I need to be able to distinguish the class members.

Best Wishes

Evidently very good if you have chosen the right company. Bad if you choose the wrong one! A virtual assistant can save your business valuable time and money. You save time by eliminating some of the everyday tasks that keep you from doing what you’re really good at and you save money because you don’t have to pay on a full time basis. Things like FICA, state unemployment taxes, social security, health insurance, profit sharing, holiday pay and more can all be eliminated from your cost. You just pay for their services when you need it. I don’t have one yet, however, I am just now getting to the point to where I can barely keep up so I have been really on top of this subject lately. The company that I plan on using is Team Double-Click. They come highly recommended by the likes of Fox News, Entrepreneur Magazine, NBC News, CNN Money, Staff Digest, Woman’s Day Magazine and more. This company currently has 65,317 virtual assistants available and started their business back in 2000.  They’re always looking for more good assistants too. So if you have some skills, you could make some extra money at home working for them. I must warn you that their screening process for employing you is very thorough so be on your toes. They only want the best people to represent their clients and that is one of the traits that I really like about them. The company has told me that if any of my readers wanted to be a virtual assistant they would need to visit the contractor services area here.

Other tasks a virtual assistant can do for you are, telecommuting, lead follow ups, social marketing, transferring files, typing, etc.

As I stated earlier, determining whether a virtual assistant is good or bad for you will depend first on your needs and second on which company you choose. If you’re like me and you’re almost to the point of overload doing it all by yourself then maybe it’s time to start thinking about it.

Best Wishes!
