Your shortcut to Internet business success starts right here

We all love shortcuts right? Why take the longest path when a quicker way is right in front of you…

When I first connected to the world wide web back in 1999 on my Macintosh G3 with it’s slow 56k modem there were no shortcuts to take that I knew of.

To help you appreciate just how much of a shortcut I’m giving you I need to tell you my story about the “long path” I had to take to get to where I am to day… it was a path riddled with pot-holes, dead ends and lots of wasted time and money. In the end I’ll show you a shortcut I think you’ll find very interesting.

I can even remember my first email address, it was reactor@dircon.co.uk. I stopped using it years ago after it imploded under the pressure of too many spam messages. I think I must have found myself on every spammer list this side of Beijing.

Even from the beginning I could see the potential the Internet held and realized it could indeed make you very rich, but only if you know what you were doing. So with that said I begun my research into ways of making money online.

Incidentally it was 1999 that I got my first credit card which I had been resisting getting up until then. If there was no Internet I probably would still be without a card to this day. But of course this isn’t how it worked if you wanted to learn how to make money online.

Somehow I had gotten the idea that it would be a great idea to help others make money online, even though I had not made a penny yet. To this day I still have no idea where I got that crazy idea from!

Since leaving school back in 1986 I had always wanted to be a graphic designer, I loved drawing, painting and technical drawing so it was a great mix. Unfortunately when I graduated high school I didn’t have enough qualifications to attend art school …which is something I had always wanted to do.

So instead I joined a government program called the Youth Training Scheme (YTS) whereby you get to work in the industry and once a week you get to go to college for a City & Guilds qualification.

The YTS lasted 3 years and gave you real world experience in the industry you wanted to work in. So for me I was able to become an apprentice Graphic Designer.

After those 3 years I still wanted to attend art college and found a way of getting in, despite not having enough qualifications. I managed it by persuading the college principal to accept my 3 years of industry experience to make up for the qualifications I lacked.

So for another 3 years I attended art college and loved every minute! When I graduated in 1992 it was at the height of the recession here in the UK, so Graphic Design jobs were few and far between. Thankfully I was able to land a client who hired me to design a few of their brochures which helped me out a lot! It was through this I realized that I be better off landing a few other clients. So that was it my mind was made up and I started looking around for new design clients in need of brochures and corporate identities.

I can’t say it was easy but I managed to find some regular work from a local design studio who didn’t want to hire a full-time employee, but had enough work to keep me busy from time to time.

Several years went past and I ended up in partnering with a marketing communications agency specializing in direct response IT marketing. Their clients consisted of Microsoft, IBM, Lotus amongst several other big name companies.

What we did was to set up design company called “Perception” …which became the marketing companies design studio. Through doing this I gained some really valuable business experience because now I was the Creative Director of a busy design studio. As with any title with the word “Director” in comes lots of responsibilities, not only to other share holders but also to the creative team I was managing and building.

After 3 years of 50+ hour work weeks I had had enough, more so because I was no longer working on the design, instead I was delegating it to other graphic designers. So it was also getting a little frustrating to say the least. It was to this end I decided to switch my path and become a freelance Graphic Designer working for other design studios.

I have to say this was the best thing I had ever done, it gave me the freedom to work whenever I wanted to and for whoever I wanted.

I enjoyed working as a freelance designer traveling from one design studio to another. Whenever possible I would take the work home to do, so this was an even better deal.

Getting back to the main thrust of things…

It was around 1999 when I first came online (as I mentioned earlier) and I also started learning HTML and designing websites as well as studying Internet Marketing and it’s ability to help me make money.

Here’s the first website I created in July 2001 that was designed to help other people to make money online…


SecretWebRiches.com

If you know a thing or two about Internet Marketing when you take a look at that website promise you won’t laugh? It’s full of just about every newbie mistake you can imagine.

I even ventured into niche marketing thinking it was the best route for me to take, here’s one of the websites I created that failed badly…

WomensLingerieReviews.com

Here’s the first blog I created back in 2004:

WealthySecretsWow.com

I used all kinds of methods of traffic generation to get people to my sites, some worked better than others. Here are a few of those I tried…

  • SafeLists
  • PPC
  • Article writing
  • Forums
  • Cloaking
  • SmartPages
  • Press Releases

Back in November 2003 I remember creating my first joint venture ebook with a guy called Michael Daniel. This ebook we created was called “SmartPageCash” and the deal was I would create all the graphics and create the case study website. He would then write the book and we would split the profits down the middle.

It seemed like a fair deal, but in the end I didn’t make a single penny but Michael continued to sell the ebook, I’ve no idea if he made anything out of it. So I chalked it up as another idea that didn’t work but learned a lot from.

You can see SmartPageCash here:
SmartPageCash.com

Now this was nearly 5 years ago and since then I’ve learned what it really takes to become successful online having finally achieved a certain degree of success already, but only through making lots of trial and error mistakes.

Eventually I figured out that I’m better off playing to my strengths, so I started up a website called EbookWow.com. It’s through this website that I designed graphics for direct response websites (or websites designed to sell). Thankfully this wasn’t a failure like the previous websites I had created and enabled me to build a strong reputation as a designer of high quality virtual covers.

Ebookwow.com soon evolved into PixelstoProfits.com which was where I expanded my design service to designing complete direct response websites. But something was missing… I still found myself working long hours. With only 24 hours in every day there was a limit on the growth of my business. Sure I could charge more for my service, which I eventually did but the same problem kept on coming around.

Then things changed again, as I was creating all these successful websites for other people I thought why don’t I just do this for myself. I now know enough to do things right!

It was this idea that spawned my series of “Big Selling” websites designed to help people turn their bright ideas into big selling websites.

After all these years of trial and error I now know how to design the direct response websites that sell, I know how to drive targeted traffic and I know how to create in-demand products.

At the same time as creating my own “Big Selling” websites I’m now designing websites for other successful marketers which works out really well because it gives me the opportunity to build relationships with people I would never have otherwise have met who in return can help me grow my own business.

So how can this help you?

What if there was a way for you to directly benefit from all the mistakes I’ve made as well as the successes I’ve had over the years? What if I could show you a shortcut to finding your own online business success where you don’t have to make the same costly mistakes I made?

The great news is I’ve recently completed setting up an Intern program where I teach you exactly how to market and grow a successful Internet Business.

Hi Brian

Many thanks for allowing me the opportunity to share in your program.

I have tried an amazing array of schemes and ideas but have not had any luck as yet. I have also spent far too much on credit card purchases which put me into a rather sad financial predicament.

So I am hoping now to learn the “right’ way to do it.

Look forward to your lessons and assistance.

Best regards

Tony

Hi Brian,

I signed up for your intern program, and I am eager to start. Currently I am working on graphics for several local clients, and a few I have networked with online. I am also looking at more possibilities, and have been running a website since last December. I have had some success, and some failure, Look forward to a chat.
