I want to wish everyone in the U.S. a safe and Happy July 4th! Enjoy the fireworks!

My wife and I will be taking my daughter to the New England Aquarium this morning. Well, as soon as they decide to wake up that is!

And then we will probably go to the Brocton Fair tonight for fireworks.

Last year I took my wife and my daughter to the 4th of July fireworks in Boston. I’m not impressed. We went there around 9:30pm or something and waited until 10:30 for the fireworks to start.

It only lasted a mere 1/2 hour! And we didn’t get a good spot either, so missed a lot of the fireworks. It’s a bust to say the least!

So I will try the Brockton Fair today. I went there almost 10 years ago while I was still in college. It’s a fair with losts of rides and games for the kids. And then there’s the fireworks at night; not sure what time but it’s probably around 7pm. Not bad at all. Everyone sat in open gress area with fireworks in plain view.

I wonder why  I have not went back there. I guess viewing the fireworks was never my biggest priorities in life!

Hope this year would be better…

Here’s an update. I drove the family to NYC yesterday. I have Friday off from work. And my mom needed some merchardises for her Chinatown fair which was rescheduled for next Sunday, the 12th.

I can’t believe I drove the whole day from 7am to 11pm! I was actually suprised that I got to NYC in record time; about  3 and 1/2 hours! But then hit traffic one we reached NYC. What a waste…

Drove around Brooklyn and Manhattan looking for merchardises for my mom. And the rest of the family spent the entire day shopping in Chinatown lower Manhattan.

It’s was hell! All I got was a lunch in NYC! and Lots of driving around! The plan was to have dinner before we leave. But can’t really find parking. I’m not going to spend $20 just to park for 2 hours! I guess I’m cheap that way… haha

So we decided to head home and ate McDonald’s on the way back. Not much choices of food while you are on the road, really…

Here’s couple of updates:

My coach Alex Jeffreys’ new coaching program, MarketingWithAlex 2.0 is nearing the end. It launched about two weeks ago. Time to get enrolled before it closes:

Alex Jeffreys and his new free ebook: Newbies Nightmare.

As some of you who have followed my blog may have known, Alex Jeffreys of http://www.MarketingWithYou.com, is currently my coach on starting an internet marketing business. And I can say that he is a great coach and a heck of a person too.

If you had read some of my past posts, you would have known that I have not been doing much with some of my coaching instructions. Now, just to be clear, it has nothing to do with what a coach Alex Jeffreys is – he’s one heck of a coach! But it was due to my own personal issues – mainly my marriage is falling apart…

But last month I decided to push forward and went on to meet Alex Jeffreys and my fellow students on a trip to Las Vegas. On that trip, I networked with my fellow students and learn what they do and how they are doing in their own online ventures.

To be honest, I’m still in the inaction stage! I’ve a full time job as a computer programmer and then I was still working the weekends in a Chinese restaurant. But I have decided to quit the weekend job and try to give this online marketing a try.

One of Alex Jeffreys’ student, Dean Holland, was the inspiration! The guy basically was mentioned throughout Alex Jeffreys’ coaching to us. He took action and on the first week that we came back from the Vegas trip, he fired his boss! And his is releasing a coaching program too!

So, I took that hint and told my restaurant boss that June is my last day working there too! 

So I need to get some things to happen…

While at the Vegas event, Alex Jeffreys revealed that he is coming out with a free ebook, similar to the Guru Dream that he came out last November. He used that to get out his marketing messages and add huge number of students to his coaching program, which I also signed up to… It’s a great read!

The Guru Dream basically told the story of how we should never listen to the hype that gurus put out. We should basically not sell with hype and hard selling. We should learn MARKETING! As Alex Jeffreys’ model is "He’s not marketing to you, he’s marketing with you!".

Following his advice, I was able to increased my Twitter follower from 125 to nearly 1000, as of today June 24th, 2009. What a difference a two weeks made!

If you see some of the recent post, I have been living Alex Jeffreys’ model. Always try to help people. The idea is that the more you give, the more you will receive. And give away your best material and you will get back huge… I think it is working!

Last week June 16th, 2009, Alex Jeffreys released the Newbies Nightmare. You can go there and optin to get it free.

I recommend that you do go get it. I read it today. 40 pages and I read it under two hours.

This ebook is different than the Gurus Dream. Alex Jeffreys actually put into some of the materials that he shared in our coaching course. So if you get it, you can have a glimse into what the coaching program is about.

Alex Jeffreys covered information overload, buying vs. applying, and of course internet selling vs. internet marketing!

I will leave it to you to find out more about this ebook: Newbies Nightmare.

Go get it and if you like it, just come back here and post a comment! I love to hear what you think about the book.

To your success!

Summary of the Las Vegas trip with fellow Alex Jeffreys students.

It’s been half a month since I came back from my trip to Las Vegas and this is the first update… As you can see I have been slacking! big time…

I have been on Twitter alot lately. See my tweets: http://twitter.com/JeffreyYung

I arrived at Boston Logan airport around 2pm to get to my flight, which was at 6pm. I left home that early because I want to try the subway and Silver Line. It got me there within 1/2 hour to 45 minutes! Wow, really fast. It would have taken me 1/2 just to drive there.

Then I waited and waited… didn’t leave Boston until 7:30pm! Stupid… they canceled the incoming flight and everyone had to waited for the next one coming from LA. I guess airlines are doing that now to save on money if a flight is not up to compacity.

So I got the Las Vegas around 9:45pm PT. Very uneventful flight! Which is what I want… haha. The Airbus is really nice airplane.

Checked in but had trouble finding out where Alex Jeffreys is holding his group meeting/seminar the next morning! The front desk of New York New York had no idea. But this lady found out for me later.

I went and grab something to eat at this Chinese restaurant, right at entrance of the elevator to my room. Got a Mai Tai too.

Went to bed that night. There would be no gambling for this dude until the last day of the stay!

Woke up early and went to the room where Alex Jeffreys is holding the seminar. Upon arrival, there’s already a line of people there! Conversing amoung themselves…

Alex Jeffreys was late. They said they saw him with other people last night around 4am!

So the event went underway and we shared what we learned in Alex Jeffreys coaching program. Alex Jeffreys also shared many useful tips on how to reach your audience online. Definitely nice tips. Went to lunch with the group.

Also I finally meet Jit Uppal and Lance Tamashiro (Blog Invasion System), I was on both of their lists. Jit was sharing his listbuilding tips using giveaways to build a list and then use the imadswap.com site to exchange with other marketers. This way you could grow your list over time. And monetize by sending them to residual income programs. Nice.

Also finally saw Dean Holland too. He was mentioned by Alex Jeffreys during the coaching session to have made money for promoting Alex’s program. He was in bad shape; from lack of sleep! But by Saturday he was afresh…

By the way, Dean Holland announced that he would quit his job the first thing he went home. And he did! Great job, Dean. And he’s launching his blogging coaching program too.

That night I decided to watch the Tournment of the Kings at Excalibur on Firday night after the meeting. It was the same show as I saw it back in 2000. But this time I got a headache! All of a sudden after the show, I have a bad case of headache. I wonder is due to the bad air quality inside the show.

And the service was bad for my section. I ended up sitting in the section for the evil king. I think my section was the last to served dinner! And the guy didn’t even give me bread! So overall not a good night!

The next day, I still had a slight headache but manageable… Went to Alex Jeffrey’s 2nd day meeting. He shared how he’s mapping out his last coaching launch that we signed up back in November 2008. And then a fellow student was chosen to share her project. She basically wanted to promote a friend’s book/seminar event deal. We each offered advice and come up with suggestions on how she could approach her launch.

I offered the suggestion that she could use the book launch method – which would involve getting contributing JV partners to offer free bonuses and make it a book launch event… I think she took that idea. cool…

We ended the day around 3pm and had testamonials done for Alex Jeffreys on his coaching… And then a couple of us walked around each of the hotels and casinos. Mostly walking around and talking. Had some drinks on the bar. For dinner we met and had buffet.

The people I hung out with are pretty nice. This included JT Martin, Gary Simpson, Dean Holland, Dan, Gary Parkes, and Lesley Morgan. Lesley is interesting. She said she grabbed a client on Friday during her break! Nice. Online marketing meets offline business. This is hot lately.

That night, I hung out with Alex, Lance and his wife, Jit, John, Dean Holland, and JT at the Excalibur bar listening to a band that was playing there. Lance was trying to get his wife to go on stage to sing. I guess that she wanted to sing on stage. But she didn’t end up doing it. Finally I left around 2am!

I spend Sunday walking around Las Vegas casinos again. My flight was at 10pm PT. I finally got my first lunch buffet done. I ate at the manadaly Bay. Really classy and good food!

I ended the trip playing some blackjacks… Didn’t have good luck, ended the trip down…

I got home the next morning at 6:30am ET. This time the flight has a bit more turbulance and make it safe and sound though…

So overall this was a good trip. Got lots of networking done. For any seminars that you go to, you have to do networking. Otherwise it is pointless. Sometimes you uncover a really good strategy or formed a JV partnership that could earn you thousand in one promotion. so I would defintely encourage you do attend seminars.

Well, that’s my update for this trip… My coach Alex Jeffreys is ready to release a free report this Friday… more details to follow. And he’s releasing his Marketing with Alex 2.0 next week; it’s the coaching program I was in.

Las Vegas and Alex Jeffreys

I’m about to head out to catch my flight to Las Vegas from Boston. I’m extremely excited while at the sametime nervous! I don’t like flighting…

Anyhow, this should be a nice four days trip for me to not only be getting some R & R, but also learn from my coach and mentor Alex Jeffreys. I have been in his coaching program since last November. It has been interesting.

I learned that Alex Jeffreys over-delivers on contents. I am still amazed that his coaching sessions lasted 5+ hours, from 7pm ET to midnight and somtimes to even after 1am ET!

Of course, I have mentioned that I haven’t done much with my online venture. Mostly due to me hanging onto my 9-5 day J.O.B. It is scary with the economy as it is. I know that I can make it online, but it just my personal life is a mess. I really to clean that up and start afresh!

So, I am hoping this weekend would be a new starting for the rest of my life, a new beginning if you will.

Please come for more updates in the days to come and also hopefully you will witness a new "Jeff" in the months ahead!

Take care,

-Jeff

If you are one of Alex Jeffreys’ students… Don’t be like me.

Inaction = death!

Have you been there? I have! As a matter of fact, been there pretty much my whole life.

Instead of spending time doing things that do would improve my life’s situation, I ended up doing nothing.

Sure, I have a 9-5 job, as a programmer. That just adds to my growing list of procrastination. These are my excuses. It’s not my to-do list.

When I first signup to Alex Jeffreys‘ coaching program, I had the hope of finally turning my life around. That’s back in November of 2008.

Fast foward to January 2009. What have I done?

Not much!

I updated a niche site of mine last night (foodloverscentral.com) and also put in a few wordpress plugins for both my sites. That’s it.

Pretty sad if you ask me.

I listened to Alex Jeffreys‘ 5th training module today. And was pretty impressed to hear that kotobot.com, owned by Jim, has won the first students’ challenge of wining the $1000 prize. The challenge was to have the most traffic to your site by New Year’s Eve… He has gotten consistent 5000+ visitors to his blog. That’s impressive.

And of course, I missed the boat!

Yeah, I worked both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. At a restaurant.

That’s how bad my financial situation is at this point.

And my marriage life is not great either. I doubt that I will be married next month. Bad situation…

Anyways, I hope you can learn something from me today by reading this post:

Always do something. Just be something that would impove your life and your financial situation.

Don’t worry about venturing into the unknown. As Alex Jeffreys said (as other gurus has), always fail forward.

As long as you learn from your mistakes as you fail, you will eventually become a success!

So, here I come onto the 2nd students’ challenge! Wish me luck.

Thanks for reading!

Recently, I enrolled in a coaching program with Alex Jeffreys, of Marketingwithyou.com fame. He is marketing with you, not to you!

See his post: It’s time to shine in 2009.

Alex has basically became a guru in a relatively short period of time. He was trained under gurus like Mike Filsaime and Rich Schefren, to name a few.

He released a really eye opening report titled the Guru Dream. In that report, Alex tells the story of how the gurus tells you one thing and then they do another. They are basically selling you a dream of millionaire Internet income and lifestyle. They became rich! And you? Still searching for the next product, the next offer that will make you money!

What’s different in this report is that Alex is presenting a way to start your dream lifestyle the correct way. Hint, not by following what the gurus said. It’s a worthy reading!

So my intention is to do a 180 degree turn around on this blog. I have realized that I had became too salesy in my posts. As a result, I have not been getting repeating/returning traffic to this blog.

In the past, all of my posts were to pitch a product launch; like the StomperNet or the Arbitrage Controversy launch.

I believe, from reading Alex’s Guru Dream report, that the correct direction would be to provide great deal of information first and then the sales will follow.

Have you heard of the study that a customer will only buy if they are exposed to a product after seven (7) times?! And sometime even more…

So that means, most people will not buy the first time they see a product. They will weight their options. They will search near and far for more information to make a better purchase decision.

And what’s worse? You customers will look for the best bonus they can get! This is a result of the hyped up launches in the internet marketing niche. How often have you gotten an email from all the gurus, that you are following, on a big launch of the week, of the month?

I hope you are saying plenty! Because I have. And I have deleted all of them! I have promoted some of these big launches too.

And do you know how many sales I have gotten? One, or two? I was depressed…

I had a big dreams of making millions online when I finally decided to do someting online back in 2007. Well, it’s now the end of 2008. I have yet to really earn anything consistent online.

Enought!

Something has gotten to give, right?

So, I am changing the way I am marketing online starting today.

I will provide great information.

I will share what I have learned with Alex Jeffreys.

I will make 2009 finally the year that I become someone on the internet.

Let’s start the journey!
