Hi Ya’ll,
Captain Hall here from South Texas in the USA. I operate Geaux Deep Charters www.geauxdeep.com. out of Port Mansfield, TX.
I am very interested in learning Internet Marketing. Because from many years of fishing I have obtained a lot of fishing knowledge and would love to share that knowledge with other interested fishermen.
I am in the process of building a business web site www.how-to-catch-fish.com.
I have had a good webmaster build my www.geauxdeep.com site and he did all of my updates i.e. add fishing reports, fishing tips, new photos etc..
However he is now very ill and only does updates every couple of weeks. So, not wanting to be totally dependent on one person going forward I am trying to learn from the ground up.
Years ago I read a book “The Third Wave” about the coming of the ‘information age’. Well, I have lived through its development and IT has arrived.
About 3 years ago I signed up for a “how to make money over the Internet” course. I received a large note book and 22 CDs. I set through several webinars. However, all that was ever addressed was writing Ezines. I never could see how sending out a weekly Ezine would make me any money. So, I lost interest.
In today’s economic times I have a lot of openings in my charter business so I begin looking into this internet thing again. I spent some money and got some space on PayDotCom.com. Then Mike Filsaime sent me an email about an up coming coaching program (Texas spelling) to be taught by Alex Jeffreys. I listened to Alex’s hype about all of the money he has made and all of the places he has been. That did not impress me because all of the folks that are hawking their products do that. Have you ever seen a fellow trying to sell you something and tell you how poor it was making him.
What did get my attention was Alex’s statements about how Internet Marketing was a business. He identified several components and even explained how the Ezine was a player. All of a sudden the total picture(business model) developed before my very eyes.
He also said a very very important word ‘Mentor’
Will Rogers once said, ” If you think education is expensive, try ignorance”
All through life if I wanted to know how to do something that I did not know how to do I did the following:
1. I read books and read magazine articles on the subject to gain knowledge.
2. I found the most knowledgeable person on the subject I could and spent some good old show me time with them..
From my experience of learning and gaining knowledge Alex Jeffreys is dead on with his mentoring program. I am very happy to be aligned with Alex Jeffreys.
My pace is more like the tortoise than the hare. However I WILL cross the finish line and join the $1,000,000.00 club.
