Why did I do this? Why did I hand over my hard earned money to enrol on a coaching program? What was there to learn that I have not already been doing? Well there is a simple reason. I had the opportunity to be mentored by Alex Jeffreys.

The name Alex Jeffreys is a well known one on the Internet, just Google his name and see how many matches are returned, it’s impressive. So how come Alex has got his name so well known?

You see Alex is a marketing superstar (I suspect that he might be embarrassed by that) and coach. He will certainly tell you that he is no Guru. In fact he upset quite a few gurus with his report The Gurus Nightmare last year get a copy by clicking HERE.

When Alex opened his coaching program Marketing with Alex 4 (MWA4) at the end of 2010 I signed up immediately you see I wanted to grow and add value to my business and in so doing provide even greater value to my subscribers and customers.

The first module is called forward to basics and is well over 2 hours long; Alex presents the outline of how he runs his daily business and the routine that he has developed to maintain his focus. The presentation is followed up with a recording of a live webinar where fellow student get the opportunity to further question him about the points he has made in the presentation.

The importance of having a mentor is that they can explain how to avoid all the pitfalls in the road ahead as they have treaded this path before. Even mentors have mentors and these mentors have their own mentors.

So here’s a bit of mentoring directly from Alex it an excellent presentation call ‘The Easy Cash Webinar’ this is massive on content showing you how to build your online business and the best part? This is FREE just click the banner.

Blogging is big business, successful blogs have lots of visitors and can make money just by promoting other peoples products.

A blog is a very inexpensive way of establishing an online presence, the value of this approach is that you own the blog and the domain name and customise it to be completely individual to your business.

However you can do this even more cheaply by using one of the many available free blogs such as Blogger from Google. The idea is to use the blog to review a product and then drive traffic to the blog to sell the product via your affiliate link.

Blogger is easy to set up and customise and easy to use here is an example of one of my own review blogs.

Decide what type of product you want to promote and look for a suitable product on Clickbank, PayDot Com or a similar site and promote the product via your affiliate link which means that if a visitor to your review blog makes a purchase through your link you get paid.

You will need to write a series of review articles about the product or the problem that you can post on the blog and then write a series of article to post on article sites to drive traffic back to your review blog. The way it works is that you write an article about the problem the product you are promoting solves; look at other articles on the same or similar subjects on the article websites to get an idea of the style of writing and the content.

The traffic is driven by a clickable link in the resource box of the article that links to your review blog or the product via your affiliate link. Here is an example of one of my articles look in particular at the resource box and follow the links to see what I mean.

The more traffic you can generate the more sales you will make. The disadvantage of this system is that results are not instant and it takes a while for the blog to be indexed by the search engine spiders. You will also have to provide new content  on the website on a regular basis about twice a week. This is a lot of writing but if you use PLR (Private Label Rights) articles as the skeleton of your articles or blog posts it will cut down the writing time to a fraction of the time to write from scratch.

You can pick up PLR article very easily; probably the best way to does this is to do an Internet search or sign up to a free giveaway event and look for PLR articles or products. I will post a list of giveaways below here in the meantime have a look and see if you can find some PLR content for a free review blog. More soon Rob….
