Marketing With Cheryl

When I started the IBCX course, I started a new blog. 

This blog was one of my beginning ventures and it took me through a certain process of learning how to get on the internet.  I am leaving it here as it is a diary of things I learned at the very beginning stages of getting on the internet.

I am continuing the journey at my new blog.

The most significant thing since I last blogged is that I joined IBCX. 

It is a fantastic class.  I am learning a lot. 

Even though I learned some basics before, this is giving more knowledge and clearing up some questions.  I have been very busy keeping up with things.

One thing I am supposed to do this week is add the IBCX plugin.  Actually, I am going to soon make another blog where I start with IBCX and what I am learning and develop it from there.

Meanwhile, I am going to do the current “project” on this blog until the other is ready.

So that is all I am going to post tonight.  I have more posting to do elsewhere’s, as well as a plugin to upload tonight.

I wrote about this earlier, but it definitely warrants a second post.  If you have not visited this link you need to do so right now.

If you are wandering around in Internet Marketing Land, hoping to find the best information, you can do no better than go to ICBX.

For me, it all starts with ethics, tell me your character before you tell me your program.  I know the ethics of Gary Simpson and know any business partner would match his own.  You need that in a teacher.  Otherwise, he, she, or they may “cut corners” to your detriment.

I’m very proud to present Internet Business Codex. Gary Simpson and Garry Parkes have gotten together and created a full and robust training program designed for beginning to intermediate internet marketers.

I am regularly in a community room where Gary Simpson is one of the hosts and I can tell you that anything he puts out is great and you can count on it not to be disappointed.  He is very ethical and while I don’t know Garry Parkes personally, I know that Gary Simpson will only work with people who have a high ethical and work standard that matches his own.  So be confident in clicking below and learning about their newest project.

Go here to find out all about it.

I came across this video today. The true life stories were amazing.

Among the several mentioned were Susan Boyle (if you never saw the original Youtube video, it is here), the story of a contractor who became unable to pay his workers after the crash and what he did, and a man who was given a technical solution for a large Korean company.

A notable phrases used in the video is:

Has your dream had a funeral?

It is a half hour video and worth the watch if you can set aside the time.

I have gotten most of my domains through Godaddy. I know a lot of people like Namecheap. I like Godaddy because CEO Bob Parsons has a lot of good videos with good business sense advice. I had gone over to Godaddy to work with some of my domains and happened to catch this. I decided to post it here for you.

Before I tell you what that is, I want you to think about it. Think about all the things you need to succeed and what you think is the most important. Just take a pause and think about it and I will write more about this in another post after you have your own answer. I want you to really think about it so the answer is more meaningful to you. Bye for now.

p.s. I have written my answer. No cheating…don’t peek until you have your own answer.

It has been a while since I posted. I’ve been busy.

In the midst of all that activity, I made a quality decision.

I was too scattered learning and doing too many things, as well as working outside the home. My ultimate objective is to work from home only.

So my first step was to narrow things down to my niche area of interest.

I did finish up some delayed projects and a few books that you will see to the right.

Also, I have moved onto re-editing another book I wrote a while back and which is in the process of getting a new cover. Actually, it might not be a new cover, but when I had a computer crash I lost the cover I had, so I’m to “recover the original cover”.

That is one project on the stove so to speak. I find that I keep several things going at a time, and while I am waiting on one, I am working on another.

I updated a few blogs I had. The technical skills I have learned have proved to serve me well. I was able to create and upload a new header image and do various things like linking without too much difficulty becasue of things I have studied in the past.

The thing is, I got to the place where I have enough technical knowledge for now to suit me, I am not a geek nor am I trying to become one. There are others who are excellent in that field. I have defined where I want to work and what I want to do and am working on my niche.

When you can define what it is that you want to do in internet marketing, and narrow your focus to that one thing, life becomes easier.

One of the things I did lately was organize all my files and folders. Like you, I had many downloads and trying to find what I needed was a problem.

Here is a free version of what I used to set things in order.

The benefits of organizing is that I have gone to a new step in my internet marketing journey.

For quite a while I have been focused on the technical, learning how to create optin forms, squeeze pages, move files, folders, and images and the more technical aspects of internet marketing.

I disciplined myself to sit down many hours, with help from various coaches and teachers, to learn these things.

I reached a point where…enough is enough.

I learned what I needed to learn to suit my purposes at the moment and I am getting back to creative projects that interest me and it is a lot more fun.

Interestingly, when I made the choice to follow the pathway I feel is best for me, and not just be a carbon copy of what other people are doing, opportunities and doors began to open to me.

So I am excited about the future. I feel like I put in the necessary hours to learn the things that were not as interesting to me, so that I can now focus on what does interest me. After all, we want to have fun in our businesses.

So it comes down to finding that aspect of internet marketing that you most relate to, are most interested in, and which you can turn into profit, and working to develop that into a business.
