My goal for the new year is to double my online income in 2008. For the first part of 2007 I was working a full time job and then I was just getting my business going so I don’t think doubling my income is an unreasonable goal at all.

I also have plans to release some great information products, build a bigger team of VAs that work with my business and to get past 50 subscribes to my blog feed, lol.

So, will you be posting YOUR goals?

I’d like to say a hearty “thank you” for the info you provide and the manner in which you do so! Extremely refreshing!

My Internet Marketing goals for 2008? Strange you did this post… I was actually working on a similar one for my blog at the same time… Seriously

In summary, my goals for 2008 are:
1. Stop seeking out information about Internet Marketing from all and sundry. Get a mentor or two.
2. Reduce the number of lists I am subscribed to, to cut back on information overload.
3. Start taking some action with what I’m doing.
4. Build my lists.
5. Finish those projects I started ages ago.
6. Update some of my older established sites to bring them into this century… literally!
7. Commit time to regularly update and improve my sites.
8. Monetize my sites better – include at least 3 methods on every page.
9. Develop an Internet Marketing strategy I can actively pursue, and finally,
10. work with others to provide better newbie learning materials and promotional opportunities.

With your help, I’m already well on my way to doing quite a few of these.

Please check out my more complete new year’s “revolutions” here.

First off – a really (early) Merry Christmas to you. Before I get into the goals that I have drafted out in my mind I’d like to take stock of what happened for the past 2 years.

I’ve practically used up almost all that time dabbling into many different programs and ebooks without being able to earn a real living.

2008 will be different in that my goal is this:

1. to grow my list to about 5000 in total (in that if only 500 are responsive it would be great)

2. To have 3 high quality IM products created and with the help of top marketers (like yourself , Lee and available to the masses at a ridiculously low price.

3. be true to myself, my family in terms of managing my work time and family time – I’ve been treating this business like a hobby for far too long.

4. develop more relationships online with other honest marketers in order to learn from them and at the same time apply it to my marketing style. (its about networking right, Lee?)

5. earn a decent/stable $4000 monthly for a living – and then be able to go full-time. If i were to shoot for the stars let it be beginning 2009 or end 2008 – God Help Me.

Cheers,
Vern

I want to launch a new membership site and get in on a JV giveaway to grow the subscriber list, but also use the techniques I have learned from another marketer to grow my list.

I’d like to be making a good $5K per month by the year’s end. Our family is looking at moving to a warmer place and possibly a different country with a more stable economy. We’ll need some consistent internet income streams to make it happen.

I’m really taking to heart what you teach Lee. You are the living proof so many of us look for.

Have a blessed Christmas!

The Big Fat eBay Lie is a free book I created.

The book talks about the fact that many people say it’s not possible to make money selling on eBay due to high competition and low profit margins, but I contend that it is possible but only if you view eBay as part of the marketing process, and not the end it itself.

You can download the book for free below….

I hope this helps

PS: Could you summarize in one sentence what the big fat eBay lie is? (I’m an eBay powerseller)

Good question!

My own IM model is based around creating high quality information products and then recruiting JV partners to sell them.

I personally enjoy the act of product creation so this method really works for me.

If you take Mailing Lists Unleashed for example…

Because the product was so good, and because other marketers could promote to their lists at a semi exclusive discount, many JV partners wanted to promote.

This meant I could sell hundreds, and of course each customer joined my list.

Because the content highly regarded, and the price point so low, people who bought were delighted with what they received and this helped build a relationship with them.

My list is now approaching 3,500 in less than 6 months and this has been achieved almost exclusively through the model outlined below.

1) Create low priced but high quality info products
2) Recruit JV partners to sell these products

Product creation and then joint ventures is the most effective way I know to get really high quality subscribers onto your list.

I hope that helps, but feel free to ask away if it doesn’t!
