How did you get into internet marketing?
I have always been an entrepreneur from the age of 18. After 25 years of exchanging time for money, and seeing no way to make money when I wasn’t working – I started to search for another business model. I quickly found internet marketing, went to a live show, invested in a mentor, did what they said, invested in more and more mentors, and the rest is history.  Within 5 months I had won new internet marketing success of the year, became a bestselling author, appeared on my first international stage in Singapore, then became a world renown speaker for internet marketing, all in my first year. Now I am part of a team that travels the world in our own shows, and were nominated for Entrepreneur Leaders of the World.

What are your most successful projects?
– Membership site – www.InternetSuccessUniversity.com
– Becoming a platform speaker
– Becoming a coach – Recurring Riches for Life Coach
– Becoming a part of The Power of 3 – www.ThePowerof3WorldTour.com

What are the biggest challenges for your business over the next couple years?
The biggest challenge for my business is ensuring that I can support the number of coaching clients that want to be personally mentored by me. The only way to continue to give the service I provide, will be to continue to raise my prices, which will make me out of reach for many newcomers to internet marketing, and yet what I teach are the fundamentals they need to succeed.

And where do you see the best opportunities?
Best opportunities are serving people with solid coaching, versus them buying more shelf-help.
In addition I am investigating iphone apps, SMS based landing pages, and the continuation of speaking from the stage.

Is there anything you would do differently?
I have loved how everything played out, it was perfect. I knew I wanted it fast, so I bought mentors. I knew I wanted to revolve this business around family – and now my husband works with me, my 3 kids (age 13,14,15) do internet school and travel around the world with me, they are all entrepreneurs themselves, and live a freedom based lifestyle.

What is the best advice you have ever been given?
“You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going.”

I discovered the internet is no place for perfection. It is a place where you can test and tweak at the speed of sound, and waiting for the right time, place or circumstances can result in missed opportunities.

The best advice I have given is the above, and what most people give, and that was get a mentor that will work with you to get you through each step you need to succeed. This is a difficult industry to decipher yourself, even with a step by step blueprint, because the technology of building effective websites still requires good copywriting.
What are the most valuable hints you would give someone who is just starting out?
Get a mentor
Do one thing from start to finish until it makes money
If you’re not making money within months – something is wrong, find out what and fix it fast.
Build a landing page and build a list
Leverage social media for traffic
Do something you are passionate about or have a story/purpose to achieve.
Follow a few people that feel right to you, and don’t overwhelm yourself with too many different opinions and methods.

Any secrets hands-on information you can share with our readers (e.g. great website, book, training, source …)?

Great book – 31 Days to Millionaire Marketing MIracles – Amazon.com (that book
contains tons of great websites for each aspect of internet marketing)

The greatest secret I can reveal – is there is NO MAGIC PILL for internet marketing and making money online. It is a business, and if you start it like one, run it like one, and build it like one – you will make money. Don’t get deceived by those who pitch the magic bullet to instant online success, instant traffic, automated everything – it simply isn’t out there.
What are your preferred information sources about the internet marketing world?
– I listen to mentors that have proven the information works – by the fact they do it and live by what they say.
– Google is fantastic for keyword research but there is far too much wrong and conflicting information to simply do a search and hope it leads you to the answers you need – it will more than likely confuse you, and result in information overwhelm.

Find a source/mentor for whatever your next step is, and follow that until it works

Anything else you would like to point out?

Don’t listen to the naysayers, wet blankets, dream stealers and vampires of this world who don’t believe, support, or crush you and your dreams. Believe in yourself, and your message, and ignore the rest. Surround yourself with people who have the same aspirations as you, and stay away from negative influences, including the NEWS.
