			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To my shame, I have really neglected updating my blog over the past months and for this I apologise. However, I have been very busy with lots of social media marketing consultancy work which has taken up so much of my time this year&#8230;but now I intend to focus on giving so much help to all my loyal subscribers.</p>
<p>With this in mind there is no better place for me to start giving than by recommending my good friend and number one internet mentor, Mr Chris Farrell and his brand new product <a title="ChrisMentorMe" href="http://bryalc3714.farrell21.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">ChrisMentorMe</a>. Chris has helped me with my online success over the past 18 months and I have no hesitation in giving you the heads up once again when he launches a new product and believe me&#8230;this one is extra special!!</p>
<p>If you are just starting out online, or even if you have been trying for some time and not made any money yet, this will be the one product that will work for you. As Chris says&#8230;&#8221;even if you are a beginner or newcomer to internet marketing, by following this proven system you are guaranteed to make money online within 6 weeks&#8221;!! Now anyone who knows Chris is well aware that he is not one for making false promises, so coming from him this is more than good enough for me to give my 100% endorsement to.</p>
<p>When Chris first told me all about <a title="ChrisMentorMe" href="http://bryalc3714.farrell21.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">ChrisMentorMe</a> and all the resources that he would be providing with the training, I just had to let everyone know about the launch and start preparing to implement it into my own online business. That&#8221;s why I wanted to make sure that you&#8230;my loyal subscribers knew about the launch date of September 6th well in advance. Please feel free to click on the links to <a title="ChrisMentorMe" href="http://bryalc3714.farrell21.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">ChrisMentorMe</a> and do check it out for yourself&#8230;you will not be disappointed and if you are finding it hard to make any money online at the moment, or you just want to add further income streams to your business, <a title="ChrisMentorMe" href="http://bryalc3714.farrell21.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">ChrisMentorMe</a> will be the quality product to help boost your online earnings.</p>
<p>As usual please feel free to leave your comments or questions for me.</p>
<p>Kindest,</p>
<p>Brian</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are anything like me you may find it hard to really get to grips with twitter. I must admit I could never really see the attraction of letting the world and his wife know what you are doing 24/7.</p>
<p>However, I thought it was about time I started putting my twitter account to proper use and really try to discover what all the tweeting social media fuss is all about. It was during my research that I discovered the brilliant free twitter management tool&#8230;<a href="http://vtbfree.com/253.php" target="_blank">Viral Media Builder</a>.</p>
<p>After months of development, <a href="http://vtbfree.com/253.php" target="_blank">Viral Media  Builder</a> was launched in August 2010. It contains features such as, scheduled tweets, integrated affiliate networks using Clickbank and Paydotcom, keyword specific user searches and much more, all of this is available for free.</p>
<p><a href="http://vtbfree.com/253.php" target="_blank">Viral Media Builder</a> does not stop with the brilliant features to help you grow a great twitter business. If you purchase the upgrade for $27 (which is not compulsory), you also have the option to use the tool to build your own leads and make 60% commission from one time offer sales. All of which is built for you! In fact you even get your own squeeze page with affiliate links and auto responder implementation done for you.</p>
<p>All you have to do is drive traffic to your site and even this will be made easier by having your own squeeze page tweeted by every free member of <a href="http://vtbfree.com/253.php" target="_blank">Viral Media Builder</a>. I really hope you enjoy it if you try it.</p>
<p>To your success.</p>
<p>Brian</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I would like to recommend one of the most honest and genuine people operating on the internet&#8230;Mr. Chris Farrell.</p>
<p>This is not something I do lightly and is certainly something I would never do without fully researching, utilising and testing. So having been a member of <a href="http://www.chrisfarrellmembership.com/hg/?a=FtGSyiKYLT" target="_blank">Chris Farrell Membership</a> for almost a year now I feel qualified enough to give an honest opinion on what he has to offer his members.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>In my humble opinion, Chris has developed without a doubt, the most well produced and  effective educational membership site available online today. Irrespective of what stage of internet marketing you are at, you will find a wealth of knowledge which Chris presents in his stylish, friendly and easy to understand manner. He is a true professional teacher and not only that, a real genuine, honest and caring guy&#8230;something which is not always easy to discover when searching for a prospective mentor.</p>
<p>My investment in his membership, is undoubtably one of the best decisions I have made with my online business. Chris is constantly updating his site with quality information, for example he has just released a new facebook video training course about utilising the power of social media, for targeted traffic and ultimately to make money.</p>
<p>I really do highly recommend you give it a try for yourself, <a href="http://www.chrisfarrellmembership.com/hg/?a=FtGSyiKYLT" target="_blank">Chris Farrell Membership</a> is available for a  7 day trial at $4.95, followed by $37 per month for the duration of your membership, which can be cancelled at anytime. It really is not difficult to justify this investment in your future training, in order to learn all the skills and requirements for making money online.</p>
<p>I welcome any questions you may have and wish you every success.</p>
<p>My best to you.</p>
<p>Brian</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I would like to recommend an excellent book for anyone serious about building a business of any kind. The Go Giver is a brilliant book by Bob Burg and John David Mann and if you are looking for guidance on having the correct mindset whilst developing your business, then this book is a must read. It is a best seller, and rightly so in my opinion&#8230;when I first started reading it, I just could not put it down!</p>
<p>It is only a small book but on this occasion, size does not matter, because the sheer quality of the message portrayed in the book is outstanding. It is a brilliantly written book about a big idea, that is so easy to read, as it is written in five short stories. The overwhelming message conveyed by the book resonates strongly with how I feel about business. This is to put helping others first and if you do this then the things you want to achieve in your own business and life will come automatically.</p>
<p>Now I know that we all usually go into business with the aim of being successful and making money&#8230;which is no bad thing. It is just that this should not be the first thing you aim to do. Before we start to think about making money we should start by asking, how can I help? How can I add value? If you give more without conditions, your rewards will come naturally. This is the Go Giver message.</p>
<p>Bob and Johns&#8217; beautifully written book is one that emphasises, that your true worth is determined by how much you give&#8230;rather than what you take. I recommend you buy it&#8230;try it and if you need it to&#8230;let it change your life.</p>
<p>My best to you.</p>
<p>Brian</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>I&#8217;ve just found 10,000 ways that won&#8217;t work.&#8221;</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="text-align: center;"><strong>– Thomas A. Edison</strong></div>
<p>This is not only a great quote, but it also gave me the inspiration for my post for Jacinta and Steve&#8217;s <a href="http://creatingmybusinessonline.com/the-100-blog-comment-challenge/" target="_blank">Blog Post 100 Comments Challenge</a>. Whenever things in my life and business don&#8217;t seem to be going to plan, it always gives me the encouragement I need to never give up trying.</p>
<p>We should not be afraid to fail, in fact we must use it as a stepping stone to success. Why not use failure as a positive, an advantage if you like? I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ve all experience failures from time to time&#8230;I know I&#8217;ve had my fair share. The important thing is how we react to them.</p>
<p>It is very unusual to find an entrepreneurial success story that doesn&#8217;t include some significant failure or adversity in it. I think that in order to achieve success, failure is a requirement&#8230;so let&#8217;s not be scared of it!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I have found this mindset to be especially helpful in my internet business, because it is so easy to get dispirited when confusion reigns and to give up when progress and success seems to be a long way off.</p>
<p>At times it can seem as though everything you try just fails to bring positive results. When this happens to me, it seems as though I have had more than my share of the &#8220;10,000 ways that won&#8217;t work&#8221;, but then this just makes me more determined to succeed.</p>
<p>I guess the real purpose of my post is to encourage all of us never to give up and to use what may be perceived as failures in our lives as the inspiration to spur us on to new heights of achievement.</p>
<p>Whilst most of us won&#8217;t end up inventing something as momentous as the light bulb, we can take encouragement from the fact that one of the most famous people on the planet had his fair share of failures!</p>
<p>May all your failures lead to success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My lack of posts in July is something I am concerned about, but there is a reason&#8230; yes I have been on holiday!</p>
<p>It was a much needed break from my offline business, but a slight detraction from my new online efforts, as I decided not to take my laptop with me to Parga in Greece. I did consider taking it, but as it was my good lady Sandra&#8217;s birthday whilst we were there, I thought better of it&#8230;a wise decision I think! We had a great time and I am now fully refreshed, ready and more determind than ever to take my efforts to the next level.</p>
<p>Whilst I was away, I received an email from <a href="http://mandyallen.com/" target="_blank">Mandy Allen</a>, whom I have come to learn is a highly respected former masterclass student and a moderator at the masterclass forum. Mandy informs me that there is a 100 blog comment challenge during August, in which fellow internet marketers have got together to try and get 100  bloggers commenting on each others&#8217;  blogs, as this helps build back links and improve  our google ranking.</p>
<p>So with my lack of posts in July, I think I will be accepting the challenge, so it is definitely time to get the thinking cap on in order to make my next post worthy of this challenge.</p>
<p>Till then, my best to you.</p>
<p>Brian</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If I had to choose only one piece of advice to give to anyone starting out in internet marketing, this would be it&#8230;&#8221;get yourself a mentor&#8221;! Yes, before you spend any of your hard earned cash on anything out there on the internet this would be the best thing to do&#8230;in my humble opinion.</p>
<p>Believe me, I learned the hard way&#8230;like lots of people I know. I spent money on all sorts of shiny products that promised the earth, but delivered nothing but trouble and strife! Fortunately for me, I didn&#8217;t spend as much as some people I know before I came to my senses.</p>
<p>I was just at the point of quitting marketing completely when I finally took the plunge and decided to get myself mentored by John Thornhill and Dave Nicholson. This believe it or not was a decision I took after extensive research and following a lengthy chat with my better half Sandra. I say believe it or not because I really couldn&#8217;t believe my ears when she said&#8230;go for it.</p>
<p>Her view, very sensibly in my opinion, was that you have to invest in quality training in order to succeed in most things in life. Of course I knew this but usually I find that when you talk to people about internet marketing and making money online they look at you as though you just landed from another planet. Most people in everyday life just don&#8217;t get it, I find.</p>
<p>Anyway to get straight to the point, investing in my mentors was the best decision I made online, because my progress has surprised even me. For this reason I say to anyone just starting out&#8230;do your research and get a mentor early on and providing you do your due diligence before investing your money you will be amazed at what you can achieve.</p>
<p>Just to show how good mine are&#8230;John and Dave have made a fantastic set of informative videos for me to give away FREE to my list, for which I cannot thank them enough. In these videos, which are very relaxed and informal, they give a ton of valuable advice to anyone who wants to learn from two of the most genuine and successful marketers online today. So please be my guest and check these out for FREE here&#8230;<a href="http://www.nohype-marketingmentors.com" target="_blank">www.nohype-marketingmentors.com</a>.</p>
<p>My very best to you.</p>

It was very interesting to hear the various questions posed by fellow masterclass students along with John&#8217;s advice and guidance. I find it encouraging the way that the emphasis is on helping each other to succeed.</p>
<p>We have now set up the widlink widget on our blogs, which enables us to promote each others blogs and to post comments of advice and encouragement. Also, Dave Nicholson has made a very generous offer by allowing us access to his Total Web Traffic Membership programme in order to assist us with driving traffic to our blogs.</p>
<p>I am already looking forward to week 8, when I shall be given access to the masterclass forum. This will give me the chance to interact with fellow students, which as John says, may lead to possible joint ventures in the future.</p>
<p>As the weeks go by, I am more convinced than ever that my decision to make John Thornhill my mentor was a good one. It has enabled me to focus my efforts on a structured plan for success. It is so inspiring to see the achievements I am making week by week now that I finally have a road-map to follow.</p>
<p>Till next time,</p>
<p>Brian</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I&#8217;d like to share a great tool to help with getting started in video marketing with little or no expense. <a href="http://animoto.com/" target="_blank">Animoto</a> really is an amazing piece of kit and is great fun if you are just starting out. As I&#8217;m sure you know video marketing is used by all the most successful marketers today and there is no doubt that it is here to stay.</p>
<p>Basically there are two types of video marketing to master, screen recording and to camera recording. With both of these there is video equipment and camtasia software to purchase and new skills to learn. But <a href="http://animoto.com/" target="_blank">Animoto</a> will let you cut out the cost and dip your toe into video marketing.</p>
<p><a href="http://animoto.com/" target="_blank">Animoto</a> allows you to create free 30 second videos containing images uploaded from your computer, text and music&#8230;in fact just like a movie trailor. You also have the option to make unlimited videos for a one off payment of just $30. It is so easy to use after signing up for an account with step by step instructions.</p>
<p>Once you have created your video you can then upload it to You Tube to get traffic and then add a link to your website. Or if you want you can just make some fun videos for your friends and family to see. I&#8217;m sure you will enjoy it so check it out below.</p>
<p>My best to you.</p>
<p>Brian</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well things are moving along nicely at the moment. The new graphics are in place thanks to the excellent service from Steve at <a href="http://www.planet-divinity.com/?a_aid=90cbc6b2" target="_blank">Planet-Divinity</a>. He was really helpful and was quite happy to make any changes required in order to achieve the look I wanted for my blog. I will have no hesitation in going back for more graphics in future.</p>
<p>This week we are dealing with advanced blogging tactics, in particular  adsense and clickbank adverts. We are also learning how to add widgets to the blog and inserting advertising banners to our site.</p>
<p>John then covers adding video to my blog, which I am really keen to learn as I know that mastering video marketing is something I will need to do in future.</p>
<p>Just to show I have been listening in class, I thought I&#8217;d put an inspirational video on my blog for you to enjoy.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading.</p>
<p>Brian<br />
