New online IM training offered for beginners

I have just recently been told of a brand new online training resource available to all but mainly geared up for the beginner or those new to Internet Marketing. It is called Online Success For Beginners

The three people spearheading this new training opportunity and seasoned IM professionals who enjoy a much sought after lifestyle and have spent many months developing this system around a solution they currently offer existing members of their team. Team members already experience this training as we have signed up to me business partners with them but for those that are still a little sceptical and don’t want to lay out large amounts of cash you can experience a try before you buy situation with real time online training where you get to look over the shoulders of the three internationally renowned Internet Marketers.

I have seen the training schedule and they have packed a lot of first class content into the 12 weeks and have even included one of the top motivational speakers, Forest Blakenship.

But let me not get ahead of myself here, let’s go back a little.

So who are these people:

Well to name them individually they are Marion Herbertson, Tranque Fuller and Gary Meadows. Individually they are internationally recognised Internet Marketers that have established their businesses around the YourNetBiz.com franchise and have made a huge success of it.

Marion Herbertson was one of the first people to sign up with MyInternetBusiness.com  (MIB) when it was launched in early 2008 and has been through many of the pains that most of us beginners have gone through. After establishing her MIB business Marion soon founded the TheJeremiah2911Team.net MIB support and training group that now has a large following and is possibly one, if not the biggest and most successful MIB support, training and marketing groups around. When MIB was re-launched as YourNetBiz.com (YNB) in May 2009 Marion was one of the forerunners with assisting the existing MIB members with the transition to YNB. This was mostly done through the Jeremiah2911 group as many orphaned members joined through lack of support from their mentors. As founder of the Jeremiah2911 team Marion is always on the training and more often than not she presents the training or is the one hosting the guest speaker.

I know very little about Tranque Fuller as I have only recently met him on the Jeremiah2911 training sessions but what I have learnt is that he is a straight talking, motivated and caring mentor that has seen the worst and the best that Internet Marketing has to offer. His background is very strong in customer service so you know he’s going to have the right focus and your best interest at heart. He is also a very strong member of the Jeremiah2911 team and quite often presents training himself.

Gary Meadows is my mentor and YNB sponsor and I cannot sing his praise enough. He has helped me so much in getting my YourNetBiz.com setup even to the extent that when he was busy on one call his wife Jane was able to step in and offer advice and support. Gary has also been through the proverbial mill of Internet Marketing systems and schemes and has also found solace in the YNB business opportunity. His hard work and dedication to his associates has meant that he has a very good understanding and grounding in the YNB and Jeremiah2911 teams and very often presents training to the team.

As you can see from the above character reviews all three of the remarkable people have been very busy in the YourNetBiz business opportunity from a very early stage and understand it very well and with the dedication they have shown all of their associates and team members you can only be rest assured that the new training facility they are offering is going to be of the highest quality. It is also this close tie to YNB that has allowed them to secure the services of the CEO and co-founder of MyInternetBusiness LLC as a guest speaker during the 12 week training sessions and this alone should tell you about the quality of this training.

So we know who’s involved let’s find out what’s involved.

Well you may have noticed a little YourNetBiz flavour creep into the paragraphs above but don’t be misled by this as all that is about is the background of the people involved and this training is not single minded aimed at YourNetBiz prospective customers, oh no, this training is for anybody that is looking to get into Internet Marketing in any way what so ever. As per every service, solution or product that exists, THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU but that is your decision to make after doing your research. You may also not be the ideal person for the training but I can more or less guarantee that if your looking to get started in Internet Marketing in any way you have one reason or driving force and this training is going to be of monumental use to you in achieving your goal.

• With that out of the way lets look at what you do get:
• 12 Weeks of interactive, goal driven, live online training.
• A ready made business opportunity that can start earning an income in the first training lesson at no extra cost.
• 1 on 1 Support during the training.
• Training for all levels whether you are a newbie or a well established marketer.
• Access to the whole team where you will meet many wonderful down to earth people, like yours truly.
• Hands on real time business experience and a wealth of across the board knowledge.
• Mindset and success coaching by some of the Industry leaders.
• Ongoing access to the teams training website.
• All of this in one easy to access place.

Let also look at some of the things you don’t get:

• Ignored, left along or forgotten.
• Empty promises, heaps of hype or loads of Fluff.
• Told what to do and not how to do it.
• A membership to a dead website, a useless E-book or DVD and a lighter wallet.
• A long drawn out process to reach the end of your tether rather that the course.

I could go on and on but I’m sure you get the idea.

So Have I signed up for the training? Well No! I’m already a member and I already enjoy the benefits of this training and I have already experienced the fruits of having this team as a support structure that I can, and have, call upon. I’m not involved in this version of the training service but as I have spoken with Gary Meadows in depth about it I understand what is on offer and as a successful recipient of this already proven training I can honestly say that it is worth every little, and I do mean little, penny that they ask for it.

One thing to remember about this training though, unlike buying into a System outright and being Thousands out of pocket before you realise that you are not right for it, you can join up for a small monthly fee, get a proper look and full hands on feel of what they are about and if it’s not right for you, you can pull out at anytime. But in all honesty, once you’ve met these three wonderful people and understand what they are teaching you, and seen real working examples and reaps some rewards for yourself you won’t have any doubt that you’ve made a wide decision and will happily stay to learn all they have to teach.

So go ahead and take a look at Online Success For Beginners for yourself and read all that they have to say and then make the decision that is right for you.

Best of wishes in your endeavours and may your future be bright and sunny.

Alderney week holiday was great! My review.

Hi again,

As you may have noticed it’s been a while since my last posting and this is purely due to the fact that I went on my anual pilgrimage to Alderney (Channel Isalnds) for the annual Alderney week festivities and to see my wifes’ family who are resident on the island.

Every year Alderney and a small goup or organisers put on an extravaganza that last 8 days and is themed differently each year. This years theme was “Around the world in 8 days” which was depicted by a wide variety of internationalythemed events and floats and lasted for 8 days. Previous years themes have been “Pure Magic” and “Holywood” and this whole event is normally covered by the BBC Channel Islands as well as some local radio stations.

I have attended 3 or 4 over tha last 6 years and plan to attend many more but Alderney week has now been running for more than 60 years and you can get more information on the official Alderney Week website . Hopefully Alderney week will continue for many more years to come as it is a great way to see old freinds, family members and meet new and exciting people. Every year I go I get to meet more people who I have seen thered before but never actually met and its great because I can say that I seen them and only now we’ve met.

On the Alderney Week website there is a programme of events and several other useful links to explore more about what goes on but to give you a run down of what I took part in heres my own little program:

The opening day is always closed off with the first of the parties and due to delays in my flight I was unable to attend. Fortunatley though my wife was garcious enough to attend for both of us.

I therefore only arrived on the second day and this day is usualy the day that everybody spends recovering from the night before and my wife once again performed this task for us both so I went out on the Raz and had a great time meeting up with some freinds not seen for a year or two.

The third day is Cavalcade day and starts with a procession of floats through the center on the lovely little town of St. Annes on the old cobble stone road. The floats the proceed to the Butes which is the sports field perched up on a hill over looking the stunning little harbour below.
After the Cavalcade parade there is loads of entertainment for all tastes ranging from old cars to live bands, junior dance and keep fit groups to the compulsory beer tent and lots of little stalls offerinbg a wide range of goods, fair ground style games and there was even a “Casino” there this year.
This generally last all afternoon and stretches well into the night with more live music and when all is quiet on the Butes the locals pubs are awash with laughter and cheer and very well priced drinks.

The Tuesday was spent more with family than participating in the events but was equally as entertaining.

Wednesday has a fun little event, aimed at the younger generation but some of the older residents\visitors do it from a nostalgitic perspective, called Spot-the-Dot. This entails walkign along the cobbled high street looking in the windows of paticipating shops\businesses and firstly looking for the spot that depicts that they are participating in the event. When the dot has been spotted you then have to find something in their display that is out of place, eg. A pencil sharpener in the butchers meat display. Take note of this along with all the others you find, some are very clever and dificult to spot, and hand in your competitions sheet at the Alderney Tourist information center. Winners announced sometime and somewhere but I’ve never know where and when.

The Thursday event of note is the man powered flight where people make silly flying contracptions and jump off te inner harbour wall, at high tide, and attempt to fly. Prizes are given on a number of criteria from the most outrageous idea to the furtherest flight. Last year I partook in this as The Flight of Iccarus and it was great fun. This year was a little more of a wash out and we unfortunately didn’t attend but the event went ahead none the less.

Friday morning was the daft raft race and tonnes of fun is had by all participating and everybody watching. The beach is swamped with children and adults alike and the rafts range from simple to the bizzare. This year saw the Tardis make an appearance and walk away with one of the prizes, albeit it not for being the fastest. The race is made even more interestesting as the participants normally throw water and flour bombs at each other in an attempt to hinder their opponents.
After the daft raft  race we took our pride and joy pet dog Rio up to the Butes to participate in the first Alderney Week Pet show and to my wifes’ surprise our Rio walked away with First Prize in the Class (all non small pets) 6.

Saturday comes all to quickly but is always very welcome as it is the day with the most spectacular events of all. Starting with Torchlight procession in which thousands of Torch barers start from the Town Hall and proceed down the cobbled hight street of St. Annes past hundreds of spectatorcs, normally outside one of the pubs, and on towards the Bute where all torches are tossed onto a huge mountain of wooden palets. This then brings on the next event which if he annual bonfire in which an effegy is burnt, check the Alderney Week website for more history and detail on this. During allof this there are smal stalls on the Butes as well a some light entertainment. The Beer tent is normally jam packed by time we get there and we’ve gotten there early before.
The bonfire then leads on to the Fireworks display, which for a small island is very impressive and awe inspiring. This years started with a great opening song and lasted for 3-4 full songs. The finaly is always spectacular and every year is getting bigger and better.
Once again more live entertainment is available on the Butes and then it’s time to move back to the pub to prepare for the nights frivolities. Take away drinks can be bought at the pub before closing time which is a good time to head off for the Pièce de résistance.
The Quarry Party. The last one of the week and in my honest opinion one very much worth travelling to Alderney for. A good line up of DJs playing some awesome dance music with a mind blowing laser show. Last years was a little wet but this made the laser even more outstanding but as this year was a most welcome dry and balmy evening the party was even more enjoyable and worth staying till the break of dawn.

The last day, Sunday this year, sees the battle of the bands, if you are able to get out of bed or haven’t bothered going to bed yet, and played out in the open is a great way to spend the day. Last time we were sitting outside at the Moorings Pub wqatching some very talented bands battle it out to be crowned the best for the Alderney week celebrations and to achieve, in some cases, their initial recognition. Sun, booze and bands is a good way to spend the day if you’ve got anything left in you.

So that was my week in Alderney, I flew out the folowing Monday, no chance of a delayed flight as I had work the next day,  but other than the Alderney week events I had a great time visiting my in-laws, walking our dog Rio around the Island and spending some quality time with my beloved wife. I also got to do some fishing and caught a nice RAS, rock cod, and some Mackrel which we had on the BBQ the very same night.

If ever you’re lookign for a holiday spot and iregardless of wether you’ve been to Alderney or not I ould recommend visiting the Island in the first week of August and partaking in some wonderful events and culture in what should normally be glorious sunshine. As I said this is normally an annual pilgrimage for us and who knows maybe we’ll see each other there some time soon.

Dell Vostro 1320 review

Being the technologically minded person I am my father-in-law asked me to order him a Laptop to be used for DVD viewing and remote email and internet browsing whilst they’re out travelling. He is a huge Dell support and has privately owned Dells for +10 years now. I received the Laptop and my father-in-law asked me to go through the steps of setting it up, so I did and I thought I’d write this review of it.

I ordered the laptop direct from the Dell website towards the end of June and was suitably impressed when it arrived no more that 10 working days later. All delivery scheduling was very well communicated via email and we were notified 2 days before the delivery took place.

The packaging of the laptop is bog standard but very sound and sturdy and I wouldn’t have a problem ordering or shipping via most couriers. In the box came the foloowing items:

• Laptop (Thank goodness)
• Power cable and transformer (equally thankful)
• 2 X printed manuals\safety guides
• CDs of OS, Dell recovery and drivers, Roxio Creator and Norton’s Security suite.

When unpacking the laptop I have a good look at it and the dark cherry red does look very nice.
The external ports\accessories visible are:

• 1X Firewire port
• Mic and Headphones
• SD/MMC card reader
• 1 Single PCMCIA slot
• 4 X USB ports – 2 per side
• Ethernet port
• VGA port
• Wi/Fi on off switch
• DVD +/- RW driver

The undercarriage has 2 locking clips that stop the battery falling removing the battery is easy enough but child proof and clipping it back in is quite sturdy and self locking.
All other compartments have screws keeping the plates in place so no unwanted access to memory area.

Connecting of the power cable, the 3 pin connector does mean you can’t put it in wrong, to the transformer is a bit naff as the cable has to double back on itself thus loosing an inch or so and doesn’t spread out nicely. The power connector into the Laptop is secure and straight forward.

The lid opens nice and solidly and on first appearance the laptop really does look just like a slightly smaller version of a full laptop. The layout of the keyboard is neat but nothing has changed since I first saw a Dell laptop back in the early 2000s. The Audio buttons are of a good size and not tiny as you would have expected. There is very little space wasted but still room to rest your wrists.

The Laptop initially powered on without need of the PSU showing that it is shipped with some battery life as would be expected as it was pre-configured with OS before leaving the Dell factory but it didn’t seem to be running in lower power saving mode as connecting the power didn’t shoot the brightness and contract up.

The touchpad is very sensitive, possibly overly sensitive, and would take a bit of getting used to. Being a touchpad user I know this can be adjusted it’s just it was a bit too “touchy” to start with.

The keyboard feels likes it’s nearly standard size and the key press is very typical Dell Laptop feel but nice and responsive.

The display seems to belie it’s true size and I can see that after using it for a few houtrs you’d hardly notice it was only 13” and moving to anything bigger would be like a cinema screen.

Power, HDD and WiFi LEDS above the keyboard are clear and bright but look good on the black background and the power and charge LEDs in the front also look quite snazzy.

First power up required the standard initial windows configuration steps of Country, keyboard and language and to set the regional settings as this was United States default.

The initial Dell start-up screen only has one use but 3 sections and setting up the WiFi with my BT HomeHub was as simple as typing in my WEP key. Going through the steps of configuring the various software packages like Norton, Roxio and Microsoft Works and obtaining the latest updates for them was quick and painless and no sooner had I started this than the first Windows updates started coming down. The only problem I have with the pre-loaded software is the Nortons Security suite as I have never really been a big fan and I can assure you that as soon as the free years subscription ends that Laptop will be moving to Avast. I do wish they wouldn’t ship Nortons by default but that’s obviously the deal done between Dell and Symantec.

In summation I can say that this is a true travellers laptop and is light and compact enough to take anywhere and look good at the same time. The performance makes you thinkyou’re working on a bigger machine and the clarity of the display is on a par to any bigger laptop. Watching a video clip was much better than any portable DVD player I’ve seen and definitely leaves the small plane\car back of seat screen far behind. After having the Laptop on my lap for an hour plus my legs weren’t cooking and buckling.

I would definitely recommend this for anybody looking for a compact Laptop as a good buy and good value.

Micro-Continuity is launched and WOW!

Hi again.

Sorry about the lack of updates but I have thrown myself headlong into Micro-Continuity and started to set myself up with arguably one of the best ways to market your products.

Russell Brunson has revealed to the world his secrets about his Micro-Continuuity system that has generated multiple millions of dollars for his business and after fine tuning the system with his first group of trainees he has offered it to us mere mortals.

There are already some very good case studies that show how this system can work in any Niche and as soon as I get mine finished I’ll be putting it forward for use too.

I’d love to write a ton more about this but as it’s a work in progress for me I’d rather get if finished, learn all the valuable lessons I can along the way and then impart my knowledge to you.

If like me you’re itching to know more then feel free to take a look at the Micro-Continuity website and see what you can discover about this amazing system. There’s alot of info there and even the ability to get a limited offer of his audio training on the subject.

I’ll see you again soon with more updates on this amazing systems so keep coming back!

The Stig is unveiled!

For any fan of the popular BBC TV (BBC3 8pm) show Top Gear tonight’s episode had the usual features and then some.

They started off with a race and set back in 1949 it was poised to be the race of the century. Steam locomotive versus classic car versus classic bike. And with each vehicle being the fastest in their day it was set to be the race to answer the often asked question, which would be triumphant? The steam locomotive was the Tornado – Peppercorn A1 pacific class steam locomotive, the car was the Jaguar XK120 and the bike was the infamous Vincent Black Shadow. My feelings were that the bike would win hands down as it has the better economy and wouldn’t be constrained by trivial things like traffic. The steam engine obviously has an advantage of the open track but this too proved a myth as they got stuck behind the ever present and annoying commuter train. No vehicle was without it’s problems as the steam engine developed a leak and a blocked water inlet, the car had the problem of a congested petrol station and slow vehicles on single carriage ways but the bike was nearly out of the race when Hammond failed to switch back from the reserve tank and blocked the carburettor with sludge from the bottom of the tank.

I suppose the best winner for this race was the car, as it is a car program, but I often found myself egging the steam locomotive off for it’s historical value. The race was run from London to Edinburgh along the old North road as the motor way didn’t exist back then. The finishing line itself had a humorous moment with Jeremy Clarkson walking into an obviously posh hotel covered from head to toe in soot and the slightest brush with the clean and lightly coloured walls reveals just how dirty he was. The eventual winner, and now not so aptly named doctor slow, was James May who, for once, didn’t experience any mechanical failures.

The next feature of this episode was the moment that they said they were to reveal who the Stig was. No if you don’t know the history about the Stig, he is a racing driver that is used to test most super cars featured on the show to pit lap times against the other featured super cars to compile the super car fastest track list. The Stig has been used in other features such as races and challenges but he’s always in the same white race overalls and white helmet with blue tinted visor. His identity has always been a closely guarded secret and many a joke has been aimed at him to build his character up a bit. I watched with great trepidation as it was only 4 days earlier that I read in the London Metro (17-06-2009 page 39) an article about stunt driver Russ Swift who stated about being the Stig that “It’s not one person” So when Jeremy Clarkson revealed the face of former formula one champion Michael Schumacher I felt a bit deflated. I could believe Michael making the odd appearance but Clarkson was banging on how he gave up every Wednesday (The day the show is filmed before being aired the very next Sunday) to perform his duties as the Stig. I also fail to believe that the BBC would be willing to pay for Michael Schumacher to be available for filming every Wednesday for a car program and drive around wearing a blacked out helmet. If I were producing a car program and it had Michael Schumacher walking passed the same town I would make sure that I had his face in full screen for all to see.

So all I can say is that we will never really know who the Stig is on any given episode of the program unless they decide to do away with the blacked out helmet. This also begs the question of how accurate can the Fastest Lap time leader board be if it isn’t the same driver driving the different super cars. It’s been proved that any number of different drivers, even formula one drivers, driving the same car around the same track will result in different times, even from lap to lap as is the nature of humans, prevailing conditions and conditions of the car. Although it was very fitting that the supercar driven in this episode was the extremely exclusive Ferrari FXX which knocked the Gumpers’ 1:17 lap time off the top with a mind blowing 1:10.
I have further discovered that ex-stunt driver Ben Collins and ex-formula one driver Parry McCarthy were also amongst the people donning the infamous helmet in the past.

We will have to wait and see what other revelations the new series of Top Gear holds in store for us but I can assure you that I won’t miss an episode, just like I haven’t for a few years now.
