This year I’ve made the transformation from extremely busy high school teacher to full time marketer, and my business has grown in ways that I could never have imagined.

Regular readers of my newsletter will know though that I don’t measure my success by how much money I’ve earned, and instead I like to evaluate my performance by the number of people I’ve helped achieve their online goals.

You see, becoming a full time internet marketer was simply incredible, but helping others achieve their marketing dreams is what really makes me tick.

You can take the teacher out of the classroom but you can’t take the classroom out of the teacher!

I love helping others, and just because I’m no longer a high school teacher doesn’t mean I can’t now spend my time sharing what I know with the people who are desperately trying to establish an online business, just like I was a few short months ago.

When I was a struggling beginner one thing that frustrated me about online marketing was the fact that many of the people who were enjoying the most success stashed their secrets and never actually shared what was working for them on the ground.

Well, that’s certainly not how I want to do things, and it’s my sincere intention to try and share as much as I possibly can with my readers so that I can try and help people quit their day jobs in 2008, just like I did in 2007.

Which is why I’ve decided to break the rules a bit by giving you the opportunity to ask me almost ANYTHING about my online business, so that you can learn from my success and apply it to your own internet ventures.

What to know the single biggest reason why I went from zero to $20,000 a month in just 161 days? No problem and just ask!

Want to know how I managed to secure powerful and profitable JVs with the leading names in the industry, even as a complete beginner, and how you could do the same? No problem and just ask!

Want to know how I’ve built a wildly responsive mailing list that allows me to send out emails that earn me $1,000++ a pop, eight times a month? Great question so get asking!

I’ve achieved a lot over the last few months, and I want to share that with as many people as possible so feel free to ask me anything, and I’ll do my best to give you a cracking answer that reveals all.

Here’s what you need to do….

Think of a question that you’d like to ask me and then post it in the comments below. And if you can’t narrow it down to one question? Not a problem, and feel free to post as many as you want!

I’ll let this run for a few days and then an independent judge will select the best 10 questions and I’ll answer them all in glorious detail.

My answers will be compiled in a FREE book which I’ll send to my subscribers early next week and it won’t cost you even one cent!

This is going to be a FANTASTIC free book, and if you ask the right questions below then you’re going to get an absolute killer freebie that will reveal my deepest marketing secrets, and which will show you how you can duplicate my success.

And here’s where it gets really interesting….

This will be YOUR book and you get to control the questions that are asked on the inside, but I really don’t want to stop there.

You see, I appreciate you taking the time to post your questions below, which is why the best question will also win a massive cash prize too!

Above you can see a money jar that I’ve been filling up during 2007, and the person with the best question gets the lot.

Now, I’m guestimating there will be $172.67 in this jar, which is not a bad prize for asking a quick question on a blog!

Once the winner has been picked I’ll count up the money, and then I’ll send you the balance via Paypal since I figure that the costs of sending the jar would probably exceed the value of the money on the inside. :)

And of course, if the contents is less than $172.67 then I’ll just make up the balance myself, and if it’s more then you get to have an even better New Year!

I’m not going to bore you with a massive list of judging criteria though, and all I’ll say is that the question which is likely to provoke the most insightful, valuable, and revealing answer, will win the cash prize.

And that’s pretty much it!

I’ve enjoyed some huge success this year, and now I want to continue by sharing all that I know with others. This is a fantastic opportunity to pick my brain and ask all those questions which have been knawing away at you for months.

And don’t forget that you can post UNLIMITED questions too, and the more questions you ask the better your chance of success.

I want to make the free ebook that follows an incredibly valuable resource for all my subscribers, so please take the time to post a question now.

And who knows….your question might get featured in my next free viral ebook AND you might win a big jar of money too!

Post your questions below now and I can’t wait to read what you come up with…

Hi Lee!

What would you do if you had to start all over with no money, no list, no JVs, no product, and all you had was a computer and the knowledge gained from your experience?

Thanks,

Kelly D

2 Vern January 2, 2008 at 5:14 pm

4. You have started with eBay as a seller and then expanded your reputation from there, how will others be able to get started online if they don’t know anything about eBay?

6. Did you try other free methods to generate money such as Adsense, paid to survey and things like HYIP or money programs?

13. In view of some marketers conducting seminars across the globe, do you see this as a necessary step to “rise to success”? Why?

14. Is it necessary to learn about the basics of copywriting, HTML or article writing or anything technically to succeed online?

15. How do you divide your time between tasks and can you show us your typical work schedule (a snapshot) of during your first 3-6 months?

16. When you started out with no contacts but had a reputation on eBay, how does the newbie with no contacts, no reputation anywhere get to your stage in 161 days too?

17. Do you know more successful marketers who are business opportunity distributors or are product owners? Why?

18. How did you find the courage to carry on during your most dissapointing days when you first started marketing online?

19. Which tasks would you outsource right now if you had to pick the top 5 tasks in your IM activities and business?

20. How did you find your direction in earning money online? was it during a crisis?

21. What is the single most important advice you would give to the struggling / new marketer who wants to quit their job and make real money online?

22. Do you like to wear ‘dressed down T-shirts n shorts’ or formal suits?

23. what is your favourite food?

24. How will you make use of your available free time offline these days?

Thats about all I can come up at the top of my head!

Hope I win Lee!!

Vern ;)

PS: the last few was for fun but please don’t take it personally because I’d thought of adding a little fun element in the interview too..

3 Robert January 2, 2008 at 5:27 pm

Hey Lee,
I have my own ebook written and domain. Number 2 is in the making and I think I can handle the adwords, seo’s etc.? However, building that first website is a challange.

All the “guru’s” have thier pitch for “use my host and web-builder”. I have tried Dreamweaver and it’s jsut too hard. Non techie here.

I would love to get suggestions on how to build a website, easily without having someone recommend something that they are profiting from? Just simple and honest…
Thanks in advance,
Bob O

4 Gary Evans January 2, 2008 at 5:27 pm

“Gary, if you can produce that many questions so fast then I know who to find to interview me for my next viral ebook!!”

LOL – Lee, it would be a pleasure :)

To your success,
Gary

5 davet January 2, 2008 at 5:28 pm

I agree with terrys guestion.every one must think that everone elseis real knowledgeable about computers and i think that there are are a lot of us out here that are not,where does one go to get some real info on how to set up and use web pages and everthing that goes with in plain understandable english not computer talk . I think this is a big stumbleing block for a lot of people, particuarly for us older people that hasnt grown up with computers. thank you best to everone.

6 Dan January 2, 2008 at 5:31 pm

Hi Lee,

You are truly an inspiration! I have been trying to make a living online for the past three years, but without much success. After discovering you on the Warrior Forum, I have new motivation. I bought your eBook, “Auction Profits Unleashed,” and I must say, it caused me to realize the adjustments I need to make! In fact, over the last 2 weeks, I have put up a new eBook Website and an eBook eBay Store. I have also put together a Free Special Report entitled, “Resell Rights Explained,” where I’ll be promoting your eBook through my affiliate link. Thank you so much for your willingness to share! Here’s a question for you… When you were putting together your online program did you have to make some major adjustments along the way, or were the adjustments reletively minor? For example, did you have a bunch of things rolling only to discover you were barking up the wrong tree… And then had to do all those thing over again? Or, did you just have to make small changes? I look forward to your answer, and your new eBook too! All the best! Dan

7 Frank Harris January 2, 2008 at 5:34 pm

How did you manage to stop getting overwhelmed by the myriad of information that you had and are regularly barraged by?

8 Marty Nicholas January 2, 2008 at 5:54 pm

Lee,

How do you plan to use Fantasos™ to help your business?

Will you use it to streamline, expand, work less hours, improve (something)?

I’d like to know your motivation for getting this software? What do you expect it to help you achieve?

Warm regards,

(Ms.) Marty Nicholas

9 Charles January 2, 2008 at 6:22 pm

Lee,

Was there one single thing that you realized that you need to do to be successful in IM? What was it that pushed you up in such a short period of time?

10 Tony M January 2, 2008 at 6:45 pm

HI Lee,
Cool idea for a contest here!
In this IM world there are so many gurus and products coming out and touting the greatest way to riches and success, with all these tempting distractions how do you recommend anyone to stay targeted on their first project (when results are usually very slow in coming)in order to have success?

And what are the necessary skills that an entrepreneur should absolutely master himself and which should be outsourced?

Cheers mate!

11 Howard January 2, 2008 at 6:48 pm

Lee – this is a great offer – many thanks.

I suppose my question seems like a simple one at first glance, but here it is …..

when one first starts, how do you best balance out the job and other lifestyle elements like wife and two boys

it seems like there’s not enough time and sumpn ends up suffering….

Thank you.
Howard In Toronto

P.S. – if I do win, please give the change to your choice of charity – merci

12 Oliver Antosch January 2, 2008 at 6:50 pm

How much does charisma play a role in being a successful marketer? In other words do you think that there are a lot of successful marketer out there which aren’t that good, but succeed due to their charisma / likability factor.

13 Mike January 2, 2008 at 6:58 pm

Lee you really opened the flood gates inviting all and any questions.
I will wait to read your answers on the many other and add my own questions;
1. How can traffic be built without a list, no cost on a fixed income?
2. How is the best way of sorting through all of the bombardments of overwhelming info when trying to learn by signup on marketing.

I have spent almost a year wrinting an ebook, building a simple “Sales” web site and am working on a Blog for my web site.
Now I have to build a list and traffic.

Yours is one of the very few newsletters I keep. Others Jim Cockrum and John Thronhill.

Mike

Hi Lee ,
Most of the trouble in the world today is lack of communication.
Please let me know how to become an affiliate for your products.

What are the 5 biggest mistakes you made in getting to cash flow? If you had the chance to redo them what would you do instead?

16 Chris Harris January 2, 2008 at 8:36 pm

Hi Lee,
I seems to me that the breaktrough is getting someone with a large list, who is reasonably well known in their niche, to JV with. So what’s the secret?

Do you have to have your own product before they will even look at you?

What is the lowdown on that is not told by the myriad ebooks out there?

From the dark depths of Kent.

Chris

PS Good idea and a Happy New Year to everyone.

17 Streak January 2, 2008 at 9:13 pm

Lee,

What is it that sets you apart and seperates you from other online marketers? (i.e. what about you permeates and resonates with others in a way that is conducive to your online marketing success)

Best wishes.

Looking forward to the read.

18 Ken January 2, 2008 at 9:35 pm

Blimey Lee, it took me half an hour to read all those posts :-)
My simple question to you is this,
Do you think that a middle aged, overweight, memory deficient, poor spelling, wanabee marketeer, can be just as successful as a young well educated school teacher, at this marketing game?
After 3 years and about £3000 spent on every great new opportunity arriving in my inbox, Im still no where near being able to give up my day job.
Is this game just for young well educated people? The average age of the guru’s seems to be about 23.
Up the oldies, I say.

Ken.

19 Daniel Tierney January 2, 2008 at 10:20 pm

Hi Lee,

Happy New Year!

What a great bunch of questions!

I’d like to read your answers to all of them!
I’m sure that’s going to be nearly impossible, so I’ll just ask my biggest one:

Pretend you were a newbie and you were starting all over again. ok?

You have no list, no JV partners, no product to sell and very little money to spend on this.

Knowing what you know now, what would you do, step-by-step, to start bringing in the money, to stay focused and positive, to never give up your dream of making better than a full-time earning with the help of your computer?

I’d like to hear what you consider the easiest way that you know of to start making money online.

Side questions:

1- Favorite food?
2- favorite movie?
3- favorite TV show?
4- favorite beverage?
5- Do you exercise?
6- favorite sport?
7- Any children?
8- favorite vacation spot?
9- Favorite quick getaway spot?
10- favorite music?

Thanks a lot my friend!

Have a Great ‘08,

Dan

20 Pat Graham January 2, 2008 at 10:21 pm

Hi Lee…I just wrote a short report, an actual test to determine the level of addiction for substance abusers.

My question is how to market that original product to the ones who are more likely to buy it and use it… the family and friends of the substance abuser, rather than the actual user?

Pat

21 Dick January 2, 2008 at 10:39 pm

Hi Lee…Great Idea. Terry (#9) seems to have asked the most pertinent questions from my point of view. We “Newbies” need to know how you gained the knowledge to achieve your success (especially if you’re a one-person operation)?

22 Robert Donahue January 2, 2008 at 10:40 pm

How do you overcome the overwhelm of the millions of marketers, so you can have any time and energy to become one yourself?

What do you do when you’ve been hitting a brick wall for a year, and you’re still feeling hopeless?

How do you determine what to focus on?

What’s the fastest, easiest way to get started making just a little money on the web?

23 eric January 2, 2008 at 11:07 pm

Hi, as most of us know, effective marketing, on the internet includiing ebay, involves selecting the right keywords.
How did you go about finding the most effective ones?
What was the process, and your rsources?

24 Paul Duxbury January 2, 2008 at 11:23 pm

Gosh Lee you have a few questions to answer here! I will keep mine short!

What was the big mistake that taught you most?

Take care

Paul

25 Susan Kaul January 3, 2008 at 12:10 am

Hi Lee, I have been reading your newsletter for a few months now. I have decided you are what you seem and I am very happy about that.

My question is: I am still employed, and time is the issue, not to mention funds.
How do you get started when you have limited time and funds?

It seems everything you need is a monthly fee. Aweber, hosting fees, etc. you get my point. What is essential, and where can you cut corners?

And if you don’t start making money in a hurry, how do you sustain yourself?

I know you used to be a teacher, I can’t imagine you ever had much spare time. So did you have to quit your job first before you tried to make it online? Or did you give it just what time you had in the beginning to see how things would go?

I am starting out with moderate knowledge and skills and learning as I go. I could really use your help. Not to mention $172.67 :-) (Seriously!)

Sincerely, Susan

26 Bonnie January 3, 2008 at 12:12 am

I have read through all the posts and am drawn to the posts by Terry and davet, they pretty much spell out how I feel. There are a lot of us who did not grow up with computers and are lot of us are seniors ( of which I am one of them) who are trying to make some extra money to supplement our fixed incomes. I have found only one marketer who spells out step by step on what to do to create income and that is John Thornhill. My question is where would you tell us newbies to start?

27 Keith January 3, 2008 at 12:16 am

Hi Lee,

1.) How did you build your list to where it is today and what exactly got it “started”?

2.) What methods have you used to drive traffic to product sales pages and what has worked the best?

Thanks for the opportunity!

Keith

28 Lynn Norton January 3, 2008 at 1:11 am

In spite of your amazing success, with hindsight you would surely have done some things differently. If you knew when you started out what you know now, what would you have done that you didn’t do (or what would you have done earlier than you did) and what did you do that you wish you hadn’t?

There have been some great questions and I don’t envy the person with the unenviable task of choosing just ten of them! I’m really looking forward to seeing the end product.

Happy New Year to everyone.

29 John Szram January 3, 2008 at 1:44 am

Hi Lee,

Some of these are a little mischevious… but did you really expect me to let you off lightly? :)

You often talk about the shift towards honest marketing. How will this change affect your business, if at all, once other marketers start to catch on?

What other changes do you foresee taking place in marketing over the next year? & where do you see your business in a years time?

How would your approach differ, if at all, if you were to attempt to replicate your success from scratch using a pen name?

Although marketing online is still work, in what ways is it more rewarding than your 9-5 teaching job? What are your favourite benefits of living your new lifestyle?

In the time that you have been marketing what is the one thing you wish you had maybe changed or perhaps implemented sooner?

What is the singlemost important piece of advice you would give someone thinking of embarking on a career in internet marketing?

How would you sum up Lee McIntyre’s approach to marketing in a single sentence?

What do you think contributes most to an individuals failure to make money online?

Since you have many subscribers all with different levels of experience how do you ensure your work covers all bases (Beginner, intermediate, advanced).

If you had a budget of precisely ZERO dollars what would be the first thing you would do to start generating an income using free resources?

How would you break the cycle of someone who’s marketing formula is “See big headline + Hit PayPal button = Swiftly dwindling bank balance.”?

How would you take a prospect who is simply looking for that “magic bullet” & convert them into someone who will take action & make money online?

What makes Lee McIntyre different from all the other marketers out there. Why should we listen to you? ;) What do you believe is Lee McIntyre’s marketing X Factor?

And finally just for fun… What do you say to the non marketers who assume you spend your days sipping Piña Colada on the white sands of Waikiki intermittently hitting the send button… ;)

30 Robert Hill January 3, 2008 at 1:48 am

What is the easiest way to use ebay as a traffic generator?

31 Kim Britton January 3, 2008 at 1:53 am

Hi Lee,

My big frustration has been my lack of computer knowledge, without the capital to hire out the work. How did you learn all you needed to work around the computer and get your business running, automated and successful?

Thanks,
Kim

32 Lee McIntyre January 3, 2008 at 1:55 am

WOW and WOW!!

I am floored by the response to this contest, and I simply can’t get my head around the incredible answers that have been posted here.

Thanks so much to everyone who has taken the time to post a question so far. :)

I couldn’t possibly start answering them here, but I’m itching to get started on this as I have some GREAT answers to some of these questions.

One thing that I will say now….

My subscribers have put their all into these questions and I’ll reciprocate my putting my all into the answers.

This is going to be the best free ebook I can muster, and I’m going to try and answer these questions in as much detail as I possibly can.

I’m strangely excited about this….I love sharing what I know and this is hopefully going to be fun to write, and fun to read too.

I can’t wait. :)

Keep them coming too please….

Lee McIntyre

33 Thomas Wilkinson January 3, 2008 at 2:15 am

Hi Lee,
Read your outstanding post on the WF the other night and immediately joined your list. I
have two questions 1. How would you rate posting on various forums as a marketing tool? 2. Have you ever had a product surprise you and do a big bellyflop? Did you ever figure out why?
This Is A Really Great Idea
Tom

34 Ed S January 3, 2008 at 2:30 am

Hi Lee,

You know how much I admire you.

And I appreciate all the excellent information
that you share for free. (And even better gems in the SSP Forum!).

But I have to ask; until I know enough info to provide a steady stream of high quality content as you do, can I start a bit at a time?
Or???

Oh, and in the odd event this question befits many and is somehow chosen, please forward the generous prize to Sian Butterly.

Every Blessing,
Ed S

35 Jim Somchai January 3, 2008 at 2:34 am

Hi Lee,

There are a lot of interesting questions that we look forward to seeing your answers.

Mine are:

How do you allocate your time when you start online business? Is it different now than when you started? How long have you tried until you started to see the success? What kept you moving when you started out and saw no result on your actions?

Take good care!

Cheers,

Jim Somchai,

36 Linda Starr January 3, 2008 at 2:50 am

I can’t figure out how to come up with scores of autoresponder emails…do you recommend any software for this?

37 michele carr January 3, 2008 at 3:58 am

Hello Lee,
Well I have a more practical question. What kind of computer are you using? How big the harddrive etc? PRocessing speed? What kind of backup? External hard drives? Filing system for works in process.

Software you are using now, right now for the various income streams: ebooks; video training; viral lists;etc.

I find that I have had to upgrade twice and still do not have enough juice in the puter to run at any kind of speed. I know you recommend some software that you don’t use because you are used to using one and don’t want to fool around with a learning curve…I can understand that. Just mention that.

I will be very interested to hear what kind of back up you use. Do you print out hard copies of your ebooks each and every time you upgrade or change anything?

And do you have any extra staff yet? Outsource anything?

Thanks, without the correct equipment running this business is impossible. So any info is appreciated.

Michele

38 Jim January 3, 2008 at 4:11 am

Lee,

I would like to know how you set up your web sites, blogs & membership sites. You mentioned you use Dreamweaver & I see you use Wordpress for blogs.

Expain the concept(s) of how you develop, integrate and inter-connect all of them together?

Jim “The Writer”

39 John January 3, 2008 at 4:16 am

I have information overload. I have over 1500 emails saved or not read yet full of information. I spend hours each day just reading emails. The number one question on my mind and everyone’s mind is how do we get started? Please don’t assume that I know anything from reading all of these emails as so many mentors think that I know what they mean. How, when, where, why needs to be included in each and every step. Thank you for this opportunity.

40 GJ Noswalc January 3, 2008 at 5:11 am

Going from a school teacher to an online sucess in such a short time, how did you know what software, ebooks, programs to invest in to get a jumpstart and streamline your process and learning curve?

Everyone is selling something. How did you know what to buy (educational resources) without going broke to get the most bang for your buck for the knowledge to get the results you wanted the quickest?

Thx

41 tom January 3, 2008 at 5:53 am

What was your “AHA” moment when you first knew that you had discovered a consistent way to make money online?

Was there any one info-product that turned the tide for you? Or did you gather info from many avenues and finally let everything settle until you had your own original idea to make money online?

Was the “tipping point” when you made the switch in your thought processes to focus on providing actionable value to others, instead of “making money” online?

Would you say building trust is at the top of the marketing ladder?

Tom

42 David January 3, 2008 at 6:20 am

Hmmmm, Let’s see? …days [spent] sipping Piña Colada(s) on the white sands of Waikiki intermittently hitting the send button… Sounds good to me!

Is that what Internet Marketers are really selling? A pipe dream? If I am making twenty thousand dollars a month as an IM-er, Lee, …I AM GOING TO BE SPENDING MY DAYS SIPPING Pina Coladas on the beach somewhere, let me tell you right now!

My question is this:

Lee, if I am not capable of cloning every step that you or John Thornhill make in order to duplicate the same success – due to lack of similar skills or temperament, or simply because I don’t want to duplicate your methods exactly; in other words, I do not want develop a list, do not want to feed that one-eyed monster daily tips, and sales pitches, do not want to develop JV’s, do not want to launch a product through the Warrior Forum, or become a PowerSeller on ebay, I do not want to start a membership site (why would anyone join if I am a newbie?) or make how-to videos when I don’t KNOW how-to, and I don’t want to blog, can’t imagine myself authoring a product called The Ultimate Mind Ripping Secret to Making an Online Fortune in just Three Days!, I don’t want my inbox clogged with anything but Paypal Instant Payment Notifications, and think to myself – why is the rage with IM-ing just instant digital delivery products, why isn’t it okay to put my digital products on a DVD or on a CD and MAIL it to my customer? Lee, if I am thinking perhaps there is some OTHER way to make a decent living and escape my wage slavery via digital products am I wrong to believe that YOUR WAY is not the ONLY way to be successful with info products online?

Hi Lee,

I think you are a really smart guy. Can you tell me how you cam up with this casual contest idea, to get a name and traffic for your web site, and is it as effective as I think it is.

Thanks I really would love to know the figures.

Graham – if I may, let me suggest a program that is free (always a good thing) and creates pdf’s with active clickable links from your source files. Google HTMLDOC to find the latest version. Has good security if you want it – and is fast and reliable. You can find tutorials online for it, too!

Best, David~

Respected Sir,
My Indian tradition & culture teaches me to address the teacher with respect,as he represents the godesses of knowledge,Saraswati.
AS a matter of fact,GURU,is an INDIAN word.In my culture,student is not supposed to address the teacher with his first-name or sirname,as that means showing an arrogance or disrespect for the teacher.Hence the term GURU is used with lot of respect.In old days before addressing the teacher as GURU,student had to touch his ears with his fingers,as a mark of respect for KNOWLEDGE.This gesture you will find in the concerts of INDIAN classical music singers even today!
I am talented non-native writer.We face great barrier in internet world.Non-native writers are forced to do slave jobs like selling articles of 500 words for 1or2bucks.We have poor resources.I work on dialup internet connection with speed of zero to ten kbps and use second hand assembled computer.Converting Indian rupees in to UD$ and sending your own money to your own paypal accont is nightmariesh job.So people like me are forced to start with zero$ capital.You need at least
a capital of about250$ for getting web hosting etc.Many people can not earn this initial capital after months of slave work and leave
internet world in disgust& frustration.Consider
all Asians,Chinese,ex-Russians,as your students.They are looking towards you with hope and inspiration.They feel you can provide
them economic freedom.What do they want?
A simple step by step system to earn their first 250$ initial capital in one month,working for not more than four hours per day on their bullockcart speed dialup connections& cheap assembled PCs.
In the second step you should teach them to make 300$ STEADY income per month.
In the third step they will have their economic freedom.Now everybody will move in his own field of interest & will require higher level mentoring,which he will be in position to pay for gladly.
As you have started from scratch,we feel,you can understand our plight sensitively.
If you can deliver something like this for all those non-english native net users,it will be great service to humanity as a whole and I am
sure that every INDIAN,will touch his ear with his fingers, will bow in reverence, then address you as GURUJI.
My question is will you become REAL GURU to
all your unfortunate students?

Hi Lee, I am yet to make money online but I do believe that the marketing aspect is the most important. Writing articles, I think, is such a great way to get targeted traffic and backlinks. My question is:

Are there added advantages to owning an article directory website and what is a good article directory script that one can use?

Thanks

Respected Sir, I do not want to hurt anybody’s
feelings.I simply do not mean that all native
english speaker’s are arrogant or show disrespect for the teacher.If I have offended anybody,I apologize from my heart.I do know there are good hearted native english net users. That is why I wrote this piece.I am sorry if you or anybody feels hurt.May be there are some unspoken net-etiquets,which I have not understood.I have always liked western
value of respecting personal freedom.You have full right to moderate my comment.I will once again aplogize,if anybody is hurt.
Thanks AJAY

Dear Lee,
Lets cut to the chase here.
When you were selling your ebooks on Ebay you built a list. Were your clients interested in your new ebook about how you made money selling on ebay and what percentage of those people bought your new ebook? In other words was your old list of any use at all when you took the plunge and went into internet marketing? As a corollary to that how did you build your new list?

I’ve heard from alot,if not ALL Internet Marketer’s, to find someone who has done or is currently doing what I want to do, and do the same sorts of things. Basically, to find a coach….

Who is your personal coach/mentor? And how exactly do u go about finding a coach, like, what qualities, characteristics about themselves or their business/es do you look for?

Cheers bro!

Hi Lee,

Good idea. I am a US teacher as well, and understand your heart , in genuinely trying to help people get ahead and be as successful . . .if not more successul, than you.

My question is: How do you determine in which specific direction you will go in your next venture . . . or what specific niche or topic you will pursue next?

Thanks and keep the “over-delivery” coming!
