    Hi Guys – Trouble!

    I don’t have the Profit Pulling Platform up YET – it won’t load for me.  Obviously i have it wrong somewhere.  Using filezilla, i loaded all the files for the ‘Product from Alex’ into a folder and named it ‘Product from Alex’, and uploaded them into public_html.  As you can see my blog is going fine.  Where should i have the ‘Product from Alex’ filed?  Should i have it in a folder at all?  I have tried all combinations i can think of.  I know you blokes will fix it – it will be obvious to you guys.

    Build Your Oil Rig – no sweat

    Posted By kev on December 15, 2008

    I hope you’re not here before reading Guru’s Dream!?

    If so – go back now & read it!!

    oil-rig

    I liked Alex Jeffreys analogy of making money online, like on offshore oil rig.

    The internet is the ocean, your blog is the oil rig – the legs of which attract fish (your customers) to feed on the clams (comments) that live there feeding on the algae (your posts).  It follows: The more algae you have the more fish.  And bigger fish come to feed on the smaller ones. Your fishing hook is your ebook/squeeze page …or what have you. (as you know there is a huge array of fishing tackle on the market)

    Meanwhile…. you’re enjoying fishing while your oil rig is gushing!!

    So, don’t go looking for the mermaid (overnight fame & easy money).  Build your oil rigs with solid foundations, pumping oil 24/7 and attracting fish!!

    Serendipitously in our quest for oil we have built habitat which life in the sea finds friendly indeed. The undersea legs of oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico are teeming with life. Amid the constant thunderous noise, toxic runoff and the ever present danger of predators in the open water just beyond the safety of the structure, there exists a complex community of tropical life. Everything from sharks to corals call the rigs home and for the diver the commotion and noise means that the noise of the regulator is ignored and the wildlife go about their lives without regard to the intrusion. A unique opportunity is presented to see large predators feeding in the schools of baitfish that call the rig home

    Do you even believe you can make money online?

    I mean, come on… you’ve been doing this for a month now (yeah I know, it’s really been a year – 2 if you’re truthful) and you have not turned a single dollar, rupee, dinah or euro.

    It’s tough huh? You’ve had the website up and running for ages. Looks good too. All the bells and whistles. Still nothin’. And you’re working harder and longer hours now than ever!!!

    Right!! If you wanna get down to business – serious business – serious money, then you gotta get serious!!

    Go here right now and get this free report. Read it tonight – no excuses.

    Guru’s Dream by Alex Jeffreys

    Ok, it’s 84 pages – get it done, then come back here.

    The Beginning

    Posted By kev on December 15, 2008

    So you want to build an online business

    You want to be an Internet Marketing entrepreneur – a guru

    You’d be world famous

    You’d joint venture with other gurus

    You’d have a mailing list of 100,00+

    You’d have a conversion rate of 50%+

    You’d pull a 6-7-8 figure income

    You’d want to do it all on autopilot, while you’re in Surfer’s Paradise (that’s in australia) or Rio.

    Well, sorry!!

    I think the saying is “You have to crawl before you can walk’, but folks… you’re gonna have to learn to crawl first!!

    At first my daughter could not move much at all. Then after months, she could roll over. At around 4 months she could sit up. Still no crawling! At about 6 months she got the idea of crawling, and practiced every day. Eventually, she got the hang of it, and she could scoot around on all fours. Later of course she walked. Recently, she won gold in school athletics.

    So, to fullfil the above, and to continue the analogy, We need to learn to

    1. Crawl

    2. Walk

    3. Run

    4. Run marathons

    5. Lead a team of marathon runners

    This bloke Alex Jeffreys, yeah, he’s a Welshman,(kidding) but he’s da man!

    He’s learned from guru’s like Rich Schefren (the guru’s guru) and a student of Mike Filsaime.

    So I figured: If I aligned myself with this bloke, I’d be getting Mike Filsaime’s & Rich Schefren’s teaching at a bargain price right?

    Yep!  That’s what Alex delivers.  He gives it all!  In simple to follow step-by-step, from the beginning, plain language.

    So that at last you really can see that light at the end of the tunnel.  You can see how easy it can be to make money online.

    Boy, there’s so much to tell you, I don’t know where to start!
