Today has just been a great day. Went out for a walk this morning and then mowed the lawn. Got ready for my training on MyBrandBuilderPro system http://helpinmarketing.com/. The training was just what I needed to stretch me some more. I began right after the training to work on my "List". I am learning so many new names for things I never knew about. Thinking about the importance of a "List" I thought of like one of the main assets to my business. The "List" is the names you get working on your "Funnel". Leads become a part of your "List" and it is very important to take care of them. What I mean you want to really practice Web2.0, which is giving valueuable content away. I always believed what you sow you will reap. What you get back from your "List" is people begin to trust you and when you recommend a product they just might buy it from you. So what I am learning is you have to have a relationship with your "List" and the training in MyBrandbuilderPro teaches you how.

What an two days this has been. I have been for almost 15 years advertising on the Internet. First using other peoples systems to promote my real estate business. Then after a few years I wanted to be able to promote my own web site and learned how to do a web site using Microsoft Front Page. Still I needed to find out a way to get noticed. Google was offer what they called PPC (Pay Per Click). I was paying $350 per month for just one search term. The most popular one I couldn't even think of affording. After a couple of years I stopped PPC because it was just getting to expensive. Last Jan. I came in contact with LocalAdlink and started advertising my site. Well as of today my web site is now coming up organically in the most popular search term where I live plus two other ones that I never could get good ranking. If I was paying for SEO this would cost "thousands of dollars", but with LocalAdlink it is only costing me $200 per month.

Thought today we were going to sell a waterfront lot!! Oh well, he didn't like it. You have to stay postive and believe or you will go down fast. I know there is a property out there for everyone that is looking for one. I got this client from the internet where just about all my clients come from Learning to be a On-Line Marketer so I can get more leads. Got to keep the basket full.

I have always been interested in the Internet. I still remember my first computer in 1985. I was a radioman in the Navy, so electronics has always intrigued me. Being at a desk was normal to me, and I never was mechanically inclined. So over the years I have grown using different programs with the business I owned in NY for 22 years. At 50 it was time to leave NY and change careers. I was able through a friend to find out that I could run my business in NC through the Internet. I began my real estate career in 1995, and have done very well with it, but with real estate there was no retirement, so I began looking. As the economy began to slide I joined a MLM travel company, because we love to travel and also it was a way to make some extra income. This started me on my quest to learn more about Internet marketing. I was tired of paying someone else who knew how to set up things on the Internet. I wanted to learn. I bought Microsoft Front Page and taught myself how to become my own webmaster.
I became very successful as a Buyer's Agent helping people relocate to our area. In fact over the years about 95% of our real estate business has come through the Internet.

Getting involved in my first MLM I began to here things like "auto responders" "landing pages", and of course there were companies out there that could do that for you also. Well, by now you know me. I wanted to do it for myself.

That brings me to now. I have joined up with a group called Empowered Brand Builders that have developed a great platform and training to teach you how to do it all yourself.

So this is my journey. I will keep you posted
