Are you the next American Idol… of internet marketing?  Are you even an internet marketing American Idol contestant?  You may, or may not be… at this point in time.  If you are, then congratulations, that’s awesome!  If not, then what are you doing to get there?

I am a Little League baseball coach, and when I look into the eyes of the young men that I coach I see potential.  I see a clean slate that can be filled with… filled with what?  You decide.  You can be the next American Idol of just about anything that you put your mind to.  For instance, if I wanted to be the next Little League coaching American Idol I know that I would have to eat, sleep and breath Little League baseball coaching.  It’s the same with anything else you do, you have to take action and have laser beam focus.

Being an internet marketing superstar, you may think, is too hard to do, but think about this for a second.  I tell the players on my team that they have it so easy compared to when I was a kid.  If I had to research something for school, I would have to ask my mom to take me to the library, go into the library and ask the librarian for help. We would then walk over to the files where the Dewey Decimal System was located, and he or she would provide me with a list of books and the location of those books within the library.  I would then have to find those 15 books and sift through them to find just the right information for my essay.

Uh… wow!  That’s a lot of work isn’t it.  Now what does a person do if they want to do research for something?  That’s right, the Google it.

Things have gotten a lot easier for students and for us.  “Us” being the masses of people that have a goal.  Whatever your goal is, all you have to do is Google it, and there’s a 99% chance that someone out there wrote about it, or even made a tutorial video about it. My goals is to be a successful Internet marketer.  Yours may be something else, and perhaps you stumbled upon this post completely by accident.  If this was the case I hope that I have inspired you to follow your dreams and strive for your goals.  It so much easier today, because of the internet, to be successful.  You can start as an American Idol contestant and strive to American Idol stardom, in whatever field you wish.

Like Nike says, “Just Do It”.  Action + focus = progress.

The nice thing about the internet is that instead of just being an American Idol, you will actually be a World Idol, if you really want to.  You can do it.

Oh, one last thought. Most of the contestants on American Idol get better each week, when pre-American Idol, most never strived. Now; however, they see what they can become, and they are taking action and are also very focused. What changed? I believe that they have the vision of seeing themselves as the next American Idol. Get your vision first, then work backwards. You can do anything!

To your success,

At times we can look at a goal and say to ourselves, “that’s impossible”. It might seem insurmountable, and in our mind we think about all the reasons we can’t do it. I’m too short. I’m too fat. I don’t have the right education. I don’t have the money. I’m not smart enough.

When you think this way it’s known as a, “self fulfilling prophesy”. When you say, “I can’t”, your mind slams the door to any other possibility. It stops searching for ways to attain that goal, and basically gives up.

One of my favorite quotes is from Henry Ford and it says,

Dean Holland released his third module today. The module is called, “Traffic Tanks” and it’s one of the most important steps in the Starting With Marketing Academy training.

In his first video he mentions, and we all know, that the biggest challenge that people have when it comes to internet marketing is driving traffic to their website. This module alone is worth the price of what his students paid for the entire Starting With Marketing Academy.

Dean Holland showed us his Google Analytics account and the fact that he drives

Dean Holland’s, Starting with Marketing Academy is awesome. Just to recap, we have been through two of Dean Holland’s modules; “The BBB Formula, and “Social Slaughter”.

“The BBB Formula” stands for the basic building blocks. After completing Dean Holland’s BBB Formula, I was able to create this blog that you see before you. That was only the first module.

The second module was called “Social Slaughter”. I actually started a new Twitter account specifically for my business. If you want to look me up you can find my Twitter page here. Because of what Dean Holland has taught us in his Starting with Marketing Academy I was able to go from zero followers on July 31st, to 1,009 followers as of today August 8th. Dean’s Starting With Marketing Academy rocks!

Internet marketing can be puzzling sometimes, but we are learning more and more each module. By the time I complete the Starting With Marketing Academy I expect to have the internet marketing puzzle solved, and I then I will teach you.

I made this short video just to introduce myself to you and talk about Dean, Starting With Marketing, and this confusing internet marketing puzzle. It’s my first video blog, so please be kind with your comments they will get better the more of them I do.

All the best,

Ed

If you’re like me you have been searching for a way to be successful online. Who do you trust? You’ve probably purchased countless ebooks and programs that claimed that they would teach you how to make money using the internet, only to find that you were making them rich by buying their program.

Well, as I mentioned in my first post, I now have a mentor to teach me how to be successful online. His name is Dean Holland and I would like to share some of the things that I have observed about Dean as a person.

When we had our first “one hour” conference call you could

Dean Holland’s, Starting With Marketing Academy is off to a great start. We were given our first module to complete, a series of videos called, “The BBB Formula”. The “BBB” stands for the Basic Building Blocks, and it’s exactly what it sounds like – the basics.

In this module Dean showed us, via video tutorial, how to create our first blog.  The module included the following:
