Adsense guru Joel Comm has started a new venture, a reality show delivered via the internet rather than TV. The show is entitled "The Next Internet Millionaire", and the prize the 12 contestants are competing for is a joint venture with Joel Comm himself.
One of the things I don't like about the internet marketing industry is the way in which thousands of products are churned out every year, most of which are simply regurgitated stale crap. Of the few products that do contain some real meat very few address what seems to me to be the fundamental problem. Even if you have bought some up to date information, maybe even a system that really works, you won't make money on the internet unless you get your head straight.
This point was made by Richard Dennis /content/view/25/58/">cialis dosage side effects many years ago, before the internet as we now know it even existed. "I always say that you could publich my trading rules in the newspaper and no one would follow them. The key is consistency and discipline" (Quoted in "Market Wizards" by Jack D. Schwager.)
From this point of view I was very pleased to see that the first episode of "The Next Internet Millionaire" featured Mark Joyner and simpleology. On the WWW Gurus mission to teach "Internet marketing with no money down" simpleology 101 is the ideal starting point. Mark Joyner has provided at no cost whatsoever an online course that helps you get your head in the right place to achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve. If what you want to achieve is to make some money from internet marketing then you might want to take careful note of the methods Mark uses to try and persuade you to part with some money for his other simpleology courses!
I have no idea how many of the contestants on "The Next Internet Millionaire" were already familiar with the ideas behind simpleology before meeting Mark Joyner on Day 1 of the show. If they weren't I'm afraid I don't think they would be in a position to make much use of them over the 2 weeks they spent recording the show. I am sure that Mark Joyner would agree with Richard Dennis that the key to success, in internet marketing in general, and simpleology in particular, is consistency and discipline over weeks, months and years, not just a few days.

I was up early this morning. The smoke alarm kept beeping to tell me the battery is going flat. It still beeped even when I took the battery out! I pressed the test button and eventually it stopped 
A little while later the downstairs alarm did exactly the same thing 
Still without my first coffee of the day I fired up my laptop and did another search on Google for wwwgurus. We're still at number 6, but at number 9 was our entry on Technorati. Google's cached page shows that when Google crawled Technorati on 6 Aug 2007 at 10:05:09 GMT we were top of their list of new posts about internet marketing! I clicked the link and then Technorati invited me to sign up and claim my blog, which I duly did. To prove I own the blog I had to make a new post on the blog, including a special link to my shiny new Technorati Profile. Here it is!
Technorati also asked me if I'd like to add a button to my blog that people could click on to show their approval. I went into the blogger dashboard and daily cialis href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42081">added an HTML/Javascript page element, then copied and pasted the HTML code Technorati supplied into it. You can now see the nice green button over on the top right, just above the AdSense block.

You're probably wondering how we justify the somewhat pretentious title, so I'll try to explain. I first started selling stuff online before the World Wide Web existed. When everyone started getting very excited during the dot com boom of the late nineties I built a one page website and vowed not to waste any more time on the new media until I got my first genuine lead from that site.
The site was listed in a few directories. We got lots of emails from people trying to sell us stuff, but none from anyone considering buying. Then in 2003 the first real lead arrived in my inbox. It wasn't from a potential user, but from an intermediary scouring /component/option,com_jcalpro/Itemid,28/extmode,cal/date,2107-05-01/">cialis pill cutter the web for what their customer was interested in (customised software for routing fleets of trucks). Not ideal by any means, but it did at least count as a real lead so I started taking a interest in internet marketing.
Up to now I've only used pay per click, but a series of events which will be related in future posts have led to this current experiment with natural search. Is it possible in this day and age to produce a decent income from internet marketing without spending half your revenue on acquiring clicks, not to mention a large (albeit virtual) pile of ebooks?
