Note From The Editor:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
If you are like me, you are probably having mixed emotions about the holidays. I'm getting tired of all the fanfare and hearing the songs over and over again. To be honest, Chanukah is more my holiday than XMAS. At the same time I am excited and enjoy partaking in the celebrations.

That said, this is a time to take a look at the past year examine what . . . (Continued Below)

Bob "TheTeacher" Jenkins - 2008 Success Workshop
(A Focused Approach To Succeeding Online In 2008 !!)  

Last week, Bob Jenkins spent between 1 1/2 and 2 full hours going into full detail for each of the following business building topics.
* Answers On Affiliate Marketing
* Answers On List Building
* Answers On Web 2.0 And Blogging
* and Answers On Strategic Planning

At the end of the last call, he announced a his upcoming seminar. His 2008 Success Workshop Includes A Focused Approach To Succeeding Online In 2008
This is a virtual workshop, so no airplane ticket or hotel reservation is needed. You will be learning and taking action from the comfort of your own home.

Bob has an excellent style of teaching: He finds out what you need, and then breaks down the complexities of the issue into manageable - and actionable - steps.

Therefore, as a participant in this workshop, you will receive instruction over the course of 3 days on creating a solid business presence online through the use of your own blog.

He will focus on narrowing your niche to a strength of yours, so it has the most chance of long term success and enjoyment.

This is not a typical workshop or seminar, where you are introduced to 9 different speakers, who share their theoretical strategies with you and leave you up in the air about how to implement them. You also won’t be asked 9 different times to buy a $500 or higher product to continue learning from one or more of the experts.

But I’m most excited about this workshop because by the end, you will have a fully functioning website, magnetically attracting traffic, and ready to give your visitors the opportunity to join your community.

In other words, you get a lot of “how-to” with the chance to take action right then and there.

His workshop is THIS Thursday, Friday and Saturday. To learn more, go to:

You can also listen to the first 20 minutes of last week's preview calls.
If you sign up, you will be able to listen to the full recordings.

Bob gives a ton of great tips and advice on how to use the internet to grow your business. How to make your website get you a steady stream of qualified leads to make your business humm!

Marketing Is a Journey Not a Destination 
(I discovered a repeatable process that worked incredibly well)

By Ted Prodromou

Last year I spent most of the year learning how to drive traffic to my website. I started the year with absolutely no website visitors in January and finished the year averaging about 4000 unique visitors per month. Through the process of trial and error, I discovered a repeatable process that worked incredibly well in driving traffic to my website. Once I drove visitors to my website I became very good at converting them into paying customers.

So what is my secret? It’s the same process that many internet marketers are teaching. It’s a simple process but . . .

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

If you are like me, you are probably having mixed emotions about the holidays. I getting tired of all the fanfare and hearing the songs over and over again. To be honest, Chanukah is more my holiday than XMAS. At the same time I am excited and enjoy partaking in the celebrations.

That said, this is a time to take a look at the past year examine what worked well, figure out what went wrong and formulate your plans for next yet. Most importantly, take the time to relax, catch your breath, celebrate with your family and friends, and reminisce about the good things that happened this past year!

I did not get to send out a normal newsletter last week. However, I did let you know about a great learning experience that I came across. It turned out to be an even better experience than I expected. Bob Jenkins spent between 1 1/2 to 2 full hours going into full detail for each of 4 key business building topics. (See more information above in the Resources section of this newsletter)

To your success in 2008 !!!
