Les Blythe's Personal Blog

Welcome!

Hi – Les Blythe here and welcome to my blog!

I am a full time online marketer and I thought it would be interesting to share some of my experiences with you  as I set about building my business.

When I started this, my personal Blog, I had been online for about 6 months so I guess the first thing to do is fill you in on the story so far - I’m sure you will relate to quite a bit of this stuff!

Feel free to get in touch with me at any time:

Talk soon.

All Coming Together!

Well, what can I say – a lot has happened since we last talked!

I’ve done my first WSO (Warrior Special Offer), got my membership site SelectMarketers.com Listbuilder to where I want it and even got some members in (about 40 at this stage).

I am also currently working with Dean Holland and that is proving to be an invaluable experience – thanks Dean.

Best of all – I am producing content and products much more efficiently than I ever did before and I have a concrete plan in place to take me to the end of the year and, more importantly, the targets I have set for myself.

One bit of advice for anyone reading this – get yourself a good Mentor (someone to guide you online) it will save you tons of time and heartache – trust me.

Looking good – will keep you posted :)

Super Excited – Some Trepidation Too!

Hey There,

Had my head down working hard in the background and about to reach another milestone – my first major product lauch! Sure I have written quite a few eBooks but this is the biggy – a fully blown training course complete with screen shots, diagrams and even a video option. It launches next month – watch this space.

It’s my First Win Formula mentioned previously but I have been doing the work behind the scenes to get it ready for the Warrior Forum and it will initially launch as a WSO (Warrior Special Offer).

It’s Super Newbie Friendly and designed to get newcomers (and others) off to a fast start with list building (customers & prospects) and product sales. It is based on my First Big Win and – hey – it just works!

I am giving 100% commission to anyone who promotes it for me both on the PDF and the upsell to the video course.

PLUS I am launching my mebership site at the same time so everyone will have a chance to come on board (I’ve got some great stuff planned for that!).

So better get back to it – lots to do.

Best

-Les

The Year Ahead!

Happy New Year To All!

Well, what a Christmas and New Year I’ve had - plenty work and plenty fun.

I’ve worked hard putting the finishing touches to my new product plus putting my web pages together and my sales funnel. I’ve included a second product in my sales funnel and will put together my backend autoresponder message series soon.

It’s been really hard work so far but the beauty is – once it’s done it’s done. It has been a huge learning curve but I truly believe I have put something of value together which WILL help others get a leg up in Internet Marketing.

More on the new product – call it FWF for now – soon.

Right, lots to do so – later all!

My First 6 Months Online – Final Part

I’m on someone’s mailing list, somewhere, when an email arrives in my inbox from Paul Teague and his colleague Chris Freville two successful internet marketers from the UK. I click on the link and I see a video about their 7 Figure Success Formula which is essentially 10 weeks (it turned into 12 weeks) of webinar based training for a limited number of students. It’s a one off payment of $97 and I’m in. Continue reading

Great White Publishing

I have decided to set up a Publishing Company to handle both my online publications and some of the other writing I do for relaxation – plus anyone else who might want to get involved!

I am busy setting up the Paypal account for Great White Publishing – there are certain advantages to a company rather than a personal Paypal account. (If you want to know more about this – drop me a line).

You might be interested to read one of my pieces – so here goes – hope you find it amusing! Continue reading

My First 6 Months Online – Part 3

It was about this time I stumbled across a guy called Brad Campbell, a doctor of pharmacy turned self-made internet entrepreneur. Brad has a successful online business in the health and fitness niche called “Online Fitness Empire”. Oh, one thing to bear in mind is at this time I was pretty much pre-programmed into SEO and optimizing websites for Google so it was predictable I would gravitate to another course that went down this road – as did Brad’s.

The course ($47 to join + $97 a month Platinum upgrade), consisted of a series of videos made by Brad himself and the promise of a “6 figure income in 6 months” guaranteed or your money back – hmmm…never did ask him for my money back. Now this attracted me! Continue reading

Welcome to the Story of My First 6 Months Online!

This is the story of my first 6 months or so online…including the UPS and DOWNS!

I always find it interesting to read about the experiences of others particularly if I can relate to their story and if it might help me asses in some way the path I am on myself. It is with this in mind that I wanted to set out the story of my first six months or so online and my efforts to create an online income. Continue reading
