For quite some time I have been trying to setup and write my first blog post. May be I have been guilty of thinking money (most of the time) from my blog. I was always looking for a great niche, looking to find the most suitable keywords, and stressed myself out in thinking what should I write. How can I write a perfect blog to attract Google’s attention? I have been stressed out, frustrated and concerned. I was always looking for the best topic that i wanted to blog on. I wanted to blog on something that was “hot” in Search Engines. I wanted to blog on the most sought after “topic” which would give me plenty of traffic. My pagerank would be higher in Google and I would make a good fortune from AdSense.
I have spent a good few hundred dollars (if not thousand) in my investments in traffic pulling ebooks, seo guides and many others. My focus was “make money Online” and my attention was as diversified as cultures in my homeland India. I wanted to make money from the Internet through whichever means possible. For example, Niche websites, Mini-websites, One page web-sites, affiliate marketing, article marketing, Online Survey, traffic generation and the list goes on and on. I opted in so many freebies and webinars and conferences.
Until very recently my honoured coach and mentor, Alex Jeffreys, struck a cord in me recently when he said something in the effect of – Don’t go for the Money, Let money come for you. And he did not just say it as a motivational quote; he substantiated his argument/point. and that strike my mind and I was really ‘focused’ in his first webinar class/session. I forgot about ‘Making Money’ for a while and focused on the ‘Basics’ of Internet Marketing. In fact he refers to it as ‘Forward to basics’. makes perfect sense. That was the first change in my thought process.

The next two sessions have completely changed my approach towards Internet Marketing. The concept of being an Internet Marketer as opposed to an Internet Seller. The concept of blogging for people and not for money. The concept of focusing on adding value to the content and NOT keywords only. The whole concept of Internet Marketing and Internet Profit has been revamped for me. Its been a new (Internet) thinking. Thanks so much to Alex.

So talking about the influence… Alex’s Internet Marketing Course has made so much impact on me already. It has brought discipline in my life. I am more organized now than before. I can manage my time better than before. I can see my day more productive than before.
Before I did not know HOW to plan (at least plan good); now i know how to. Now i can see my monthly plan rolling up to my 90 day plan rolling up to my yearly goal. I still have to work on my daily plan which should roll up to my monthly plan. So, I have a clear plan to achieve my goal now.
Before I used to dream my ‘dreams’; now I dream the reality.
Before I used to look for help in Google; now I look for help in the forum.
Before I used to strive to ‘make a buck’; now I know I can ‘make a difference’.
Before I used to dream I would retire early; now I know I will retire ’soon’.

What is my plan to retire soon? we will talk about it very soon…
