brick-wallI like many others on Alex Jeffreys Coaching Program now feel that I have hit that Internet Marketing Brick wall that many talk about.

I have followed a plan, created my first ever video, put together squeeze pages, built a FREE product, submitted this to giveaway sites and slowly but surely started building lists. What more can I do I ask myself?

I was on the train to a meeting in London last week and had a chance to think about all of this. I got my notebook out and put together a number of Mini Mind Maps focusing on all the things I thought I need to be looking at to move things forwards.

Things were getting a little blurred, I was starting to fall back into old habits of reading too many emails and not getting much done – I thought time I have to do this is scarce, I must use it wisely!

Thinking back on the Coaching program which seems to be a wee while back now, I studied the first module with interest but did not see the requirements in the early stages complex enough to warrant using Mind Maps, so only stuck with a basic plan.

I figured that now I have more or less exhausted my plan and there are now many things that need to be done concurrently, not to mention that other students on similar courses normally fall away at this late stage of the game, I became determined not to become one of them. I will honour my early pledge, I will not give up and will keep plugging away until I succeed.

Besides, I have enjoyed it too much and met too many interesting people to want to throw in the towel anyway.

It hasn’t been lost on me that there seems to be a lot less activity now with posting on other peoples Blogs and onto the forum. I don’t think this has been lost on the Coaching Staff either, so it will be interesting to see what comes out of the next Module tomorrow.

I believe that if you are to move your endeavors forward, you must focus on a couple of key things, mainly generating traffic and building a list.

But before that there are a couple of things to consider to enable that to happen, Alex has touched on this himself many times:

a. You must give your traffic a reason to want to come to you in the first place,
and b. they need good reasons to want to come back to you.

So in order for this to happen I have decided to focus on the things that I think need to be put in place first.

For example, any squeeze page from any Profit Pulling Platform should be unique to you, even if the back end product isn’t, videos must look reasonable and half professional and be your own and your email marketing needs to be targeted to the type of list you have.

With that in mind, I took a leaf out of Alex Jeffreys first module and decided to create a brand new Mind Map from scratch, focusing on all the things I think need to be done.  Below is what I have put together so far:

I’m sure there are things missing, but what I have now will be fed into a 90 day plan and I will write out my weekly plan every Sunday night.  The Mind Map will be amended no doubt as new things come to the fore and will feed into the 90 day plan.

Basically, in the next 90 days I am broadly aiming to complete the following:

  • email marketing on the back of products and PPPs
  • Reviews other IM products TO HELP  research for my own product, then start to build it
  • Improve my video production techniques
  • Imcrease traffic to my blog
  • Create material to supplement my free product, emails, videos, etc
  • Learn speed reading and writing skills from the Founders Club

In summary, what Alex Jeffreys has done is given us the ingredients to build all the key pillars of Internet Marketing enabling you to plan, move forward and turn it into something.

Nevertheless, I firmly believe I can achieve most of this in the next 90 days if not the product.
