I’ve always been fascinated with using Internet Marketing as the vehicle to help me build an online business.

Like many others, I recognized it as a great way to live the lifestyle that I wanted.

What I didn’t realize is how difficult it would be!

This is ok because, nothing worth achieving is easy, and once you turn the corner, life is never the same. However, what I didn’t realize at the time is that I didn’t need to be a “Guru” to be successful.

… And remember my success is defined by me and your success is defined by you.  As a result we all draw different meaning of what success is.

Definitions Change According To Your Journey

When I was in my mid-20′s to mid-30′s, fame, recognition and financial reward were things that I focused on. How fast I could climb the Corporate ladder was paramount.

To be honest financial reward is still important but not for the same reasons.

Back in the day I work for money to increase my buying power. In other words I wanted all the cool toys I could get my hands on.

Today I’m older, and I like to think I’m wiser as well. And I’ve learned that Money equals freedom. Freedom to do the things I want to do, when I want to do them and with whom I want to do them with.

It’s all about freedom of choice.

My vehicle is my various businesses. And driving business success was primarily achieved with Internet Marketing.

I’m Not a “Guru” But According To My Definition, I’m Successful

So let me state this fact right now. I’m not a “Guru” in any sense of the word, however, I am in a position to choose what I do with my time. I don’t make millions, I do, however make just as much (and slightly more) as when I was a Senior Vice President for a fortune 500 company.

But because I started and operate my P/L through a “S” Corporation, my wife and I enjoy the tax advantages of this structure.

Here’s my point (and sorry it has taken so long to get to it), You probably don’t know who I am. I’m not a “Guru” but the people in my circle do and they understand that I offer value.

Here’s the deal…

You don’t have to know it all to offer and add value.  What you do need is some knowledge of the subject your talking about.

Let me explain…

When I joined Network Marketing the first two times my skills were limited and I approached the business by following what my upline told me to do.  I chased family and friends…. ugh!  I failed with these first two businesses.

And if you know my story, I left Network Marketing for Interent Marketing.  I learned a lot because I had several great mentors.  Then after becoming a customer of the service, I joined my third MLM company.  I used my skills from Internet Marketing to build rapport, provide valuable information and generate leads.

I now pass on this knowledge to my team so they can achieve success.  My relationship with my team is symbiotic.  If they win, I win, therefore it is my goal and duty to help them achieve success.  If I don’t share these techniques and tactics that I’ve used to create my success then I’m just not being strategic.

It’s as simple as that.

So although I am not considered a “Guru” in any sense of the word, my team benefits from my specialized knowledge because I am willing to share to help both them and myself achieve success.

So remember, you don’t have to make millions to be successful.  All you have to do is share what you know, because there will always be somebody that doesn’t know as much as you do.  And if you can make a living helping others achieve their goals, isn’t that a worthwhile endeavor?

“Guru” status is not a prerequisite!

I hope you found value from this post.  If you did could you please comment, and share?

To your success,

PS – Creating a duplicatable system is vital to your success in Network Marketing. All Network Marketers need to realize that to be successful they need to help the people in their team become successful. If you continue this cycle, you will create a successful and VERY prosperous organization.

Over the past few weeks I've looked into affiliate marketing as an additional way to add income to my bank account.  Clearly people engaged in this process can be very successful…however many are not.

From the information I gleaned it is because some of the successful affiliates use tactics that others have not heard about or are too lazy to do.

Ok boys (and some girls), enjoy this video…

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to get your Google AdWords pay-per-clicks FREE!

A gentleman from New York discovered what he calls an "oversight" on the part of 99.9% of all marketers that allows him to get otherwise paid-for advertising at Google as well as all other search engines that allow sponsored ads.

And no, nothing about his "secret" is illegal – nor does it require that you know someone on the "inside" at Google, Yahoo, MSN, Overture and others.

Instead, the New Yorker boasts proudly "…this is something that I caught onto just before 2000 when there was so much search engine craze running around, and started doing small just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after getting the hang of it."

This same fellow went on to start and operate sixteen separate online companies selling everything from pet food, DVDs, children’s toys & games, books, software, and sold not only his own manufactured products but became an affiliate for other web businesses – all the while applying his mastermind secret.

Over the course of nearly eight years the New Englander confesses "I’ve actually gotten over $87 million in advertising that using my secret I never had to pay for … and the largest share of which was more recently in Google pay-per-clicks as well as other forms of pad advertising at search engines … all of which I got for free …"

So powerful is his secret that he’s able to monopolize any niche online, and can always secure the top premium spots just above the usual organic results featured at most search engines.

He still has to set up an account with the search engines – but after applying his secret he is removed from having to pay for all the costs otherwise involved.

Again, nothing about his secret is either illegal or robs from the search engines.

One spokesperson from one of the most popular search engines said chuckling after being made privy to this amazing secret "Wow! Ha! This is really unique … and in my expert opinion it would only serve to enhance and bring more business to us at [name of search engine withheld for legal & confidentiality reasons and not cause us to lose business in the slightest. Amazing!"

The northerner revealed that in this nearly eight years' period of time since applying his secret he's done well over $300 million in sales revenue with a most diverse line of products, and most recently in the last two years netted nearly $166 million after really "buckling down and pressing my secret to its fullest potential."

Now to everyone else's fortune, the city slicker is releasing his secret for getting an unlimited amount of pay-per-click ads to the general public. But he's not promising any of us for how long.

A bit of an eccentric, the gentleman says "We'll see just how long I can make it available before it saturates things."

One famous public web guru pointed out that although this man may gain economically more so as a result of the publication of his secret "he's already so amazingly rich that whether he continues or discontinues its sale will neither make nor break the man, but not grabbing it for yourself while it's still available could prove disastrous for you as you may only have one chance, and a very limited one at that, to get this."

It is currently available at:  Free Google Ads

...so you may want to head on over there now and get it.

It's in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you're there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in targeted advertising now made freely available to the rest of us?
