Are there any UK Internet Marketing GURU's?

[AdamLCasey]

Hi there I've been looking into Interent Marketing for the past 8 months and have noticed that the hub of most new Internet Marketing theories and breakthroughs all seem to be from GURU's in the USA. I've only really heard of one or two UK marketers that seem to be big in the states.

Can any warriors add to my knowledge of UK Guru's namely in the following ares:


1. SqueezePage/Lead Generation
2. Salesletter/Copywriting
3. Back End Sales (One time offers, cross selling, upselling theories)
4. Information Product Business models.

Thanks in Advance

Adam


p.s. so far I know of just 3 UK based IM's namely:

Dan Raine (Immediate Edge fame)
Dave Wilkinson (Affiliate Defined fame)
Lee McIntyre (Fellow Manc! Aim Higher Marketing fame)

[Jimerson Farveez]

Hey Adam, I think you can get Marketing Gurus via getafreelancer.com or odesk.com via posting projects there. I think there you can hire fulltime employees too, Hope it helps.

[LynnM]

Tony Shepherd offers good advice on general IM. John Thornhill's another one, he does a lot on eBay information products but his stuff incorporates cross selling too.


Lynn

[spearce000]

Adeel Chowdhry is quite well known in the UK for IM and eBay
Alan Forrest Smith for copywiting

Both in the UK.

[Hamida Harland]

Try doing a search here on the forum - I've seen people ask about UK IM GURU's before. In fact I'm sure I've answered this question at least twice before.

[jasonl70]

Andrew Fox is out that way..

[dean_holland]

Alex Jeffreys

Rob Benwell

Chris Freville

Kim Standerline
Dianne Corriette

John Taylor
Andy Henry

I have a read a lot of very good posts buy these Warriors. I think you'll find most on here will agree with me to.

If you go to one of Martin Avis's London Lunches you can meet some of them in person.

I know one guy who makes a lot of money but you would never ever know him and he will not sell his knowledge. He just makes plenty for himself.

[Steve Peters Benn]

Ahhh shoot, I never have time, unless there is one this Friday?

Good point Ken. My brother introduced me to a UK guy that just sold a very popular free forum for 8 figure sum (made a fortune from advertising on it though). He uses an alias until he knows people. He has no intention of 'coming out' ever!

Rich

[MavisAA]

Another good one is Simon Coulson!

There are quite a number of UK Internet marketing gurus - they do not market themselves as UK marketing gurus - just Internet gurus.

This is because the US market is the biggest at the moment. When you sign up for the gurus you will notice many UK addresses in the unsubscribe link!

[SMP]

A few that spring to mind:

Kim standerline
Robert Puddy
Michael Cheney
Andrew reynolds
Tim Lowe
Chris Cobb
Nick James

+ half of the guys replying to this post.

Cheers.

Steve.

If Andrew Fox is from N.I. doesn't that make him a UK resident. If he's from the Republic of Ireland then not UK.

My two cents on Andrew Fox, who I might add is a very good marketer.

Yes Adeel Chowdhry is an up and coming Internet Marketer from the UK who is currently dominating Clickbank and he also made the warrior forum videos on the homepage here. Michael Cheney also is a successful internet marketer from UK.

Mike

[Online Bliss]

Michael Cheney definately stands out
and I actually enjoy his videos.
and I also subsribe to Neil Shearing's list.

beat me to it....about Fox (aka Foxy) that is...

[Steven Fullman]

There's also Lee McIntyre.

[EndGame]

Steven you just beat me to it.

I would definitely say Lee Mcintyre is one of the UK's most promising up and coming experts on Internet Marketing. His income has grown massively over 2 years and it is all based on selling information.

He makes a bucket load of content, draws on his experience as a teacher to communicate effectively and really seems to love what he is doing. He runs an ethical and professional business and his is one of the only emails I will open from a marketer.

[webmaestro]

Hmm! I appreciate this is not directly aposite to this thread but given the two latest entries today I'm hoping someone knows the answer. Does anyone know what has happened to all Lee McIntyre's sites? I subscribed a couple of months ago to his GetMoreMomentum.com and now find that all the links (including the all important support link) are broken - even his top level names like AimHigherMarketing.com are not being found. This seems strange as his domains have not expired (via Whois) so I'm a bit perplexed. Anyone have any clues?

Best regards, Bob L.

Hi Bob

We've had a bit of a hosting snafu and all our sites are down. Clearly it's my fault for promising myself a "relaxing" few days before my Manchester workshop on Friday

We're working on it right now, we're VERY sorry, and we hope to have normal service resumed in a few hours (fingers crossed).

I'm even having to work during lunch rather than head to Wetherspoons for a beer and a burger... this is not good... not good at all!!

Thanks for the spot and please stick with us while we get this squared away.

Cheers

Lee McIntyre

[JaniG]

Jani

[webmaestro]

Lee, Thanks for the very fast response albeit through an independent forum - at least it shows you're watching what's going on. Look forward to seeing the site/s back up.

Best regards, Bob L.

Is Andrew Reynolds good? I keep getting info from him and did start on his program where you recieve a step by step info every month but discontinued because my direct debit was knocked back from not having enough money in my account! I really want to trust him but I'm not sure if I'm wasting my money

[impact-productions]

There are loads of gurus in the UK. The reason you don't hear so much of them is sheer weight of numbers. The UK is a tiny country on the worldwide scale, so most gurus you hear about are likely to be overseas. And, because of the English speaking requirement, you're most likely to hear about gurus based in North America.

Just imagine that you've only heard of a fraction of 1% of North American gurus (especially outside the IM niche), then apply that figure to the UK. It's no wonder that there aren't so many well known gurus around.

Andrew Reynolds is a well know and successful direct marketer. I believe he's on the princes trust local business board. Now is he good for you? That's a different question as I don't know you and what you're good at! He's more direct marketer thank inernet marketer so you'll need some working capital to follow his teachings.

Rich

[pleasehelp]

I'm new to everything! so dont know what I'm good at yet. I just liked his easy no nonsense, jargon speaking. I'm a simple person who needs things very simple to follow, so thats the kind of person I am! I also like what he does for charity and thought he looked trust worthy because he was on the entrapanaur channel am I being nieve? (sorry my spelling is awful!)

[Kim Standerline]

Is Andrew Reynolds the chap who is involved with the Make A Wish Charity, I'm sure I got some blurb about it the other week

Reynolds is probably the LAST person you should listen to.

YOU...as in "pleasehelp"...

You're in EXACTLY the right place though, so keep reading. Seriously.

(only Wombats care about spellinz, by the way)

Thanks Steve, I just want people to be honest with me, I hate BS! can you direct me to any simple internet programs? ones where I dont have to pay money all the time? so sick of trying to find programs then pay for them and I dont understand the jargon so cant even set them up! just need a really easy one. I hate it when they advertise people who say theyve never even used a computer before! or that they are a seventy year old granny thats never even understood what a computer is never mind used one! I want a program I can follow that my six year old neice can follow and she is not a child genius, you know what I mean?

Why don't you read through this forum thoroughly. There's plenty of info here on different ways to make money online and maybe invest in the 'war room' where there's some great info once you've joined for no extra fees.

Yes I something like that Kim. I'm on his list as well...have been for about 10 years I believe even though I've only ever bought 1 thing from him about 8 years ago!

Rich

[Justin Wheeler]

I am from the UK but not a guru yet but I live in Peru now. Intending to become the first big name Peruvian Guru!

[Chris Stigson]

Crap! I thought I could add to this list, but all my friends and recommendations seem to be in this list, lol. I had a whole slew of names to say, but, nope :P

- Chris

[ruch1v]

I gotta vote for Lee McIntyre and Chris Cardell too, i think they do a pretty good job of explaining, although i think Chris may aim more to a brick and mortar business

[redicelander]

Guru is just a marketing term. It means absolutely nothing in my opinion and I am tired of people asking for gurus who really are just artists of their trade which is pitching products to those desperate to succeed in IM. I do know there are plenty of UK guys on here, though, and doing well in IM.

[seemar49]

Well said redicelander Too many people are calling them selves Gurus and forcing them selves into the business opportunity market as experts. When you do a bit of research on them, you find them just spouting old get rich quick messages in tacky videos saying they earn thousands a month.

As far as i'm concerned, using a PC to generate an income should be possible for anyone interested in learning how to do it without these so called guru's promising the world and easy cash.

When you want to learn a trade like plumbing ect', you don't expect to read training material promising instant wealth. You wouldn't expect your teacher to try and sell you his own high priced training as well. Learning from a guru should be a safe haven. If these people are gurus, why do they exploit the people they are supposed to be teaching by just putting their students into their own sales funnels to try and sell to them high priced back end products?

I don't believe people with real Guru status should do this.

Sure, you learn how to do this sort of thing in your chosen markets but not by the people who are supposed to be teaching you.

In my opinion, this is why our business has such a bad reputation and is normally associated with the get rich quick crowd.

Hi Martin,

You make some great points.

Wherever there are people seeking guidance, you will find those who don the garb of the guide, yet they are only interested in themselves. It's the first lesson for those seeking guidance - you may seek knowledge, but you must first build yourself a base foundation of knowledge and wisdom and develop your intuition in order to discard the majority of information which is misleading, so that you can recognise and utilise worthwhile information.

You can use guides, but you must hang onto your steering wheel with both hands and decide and stick to your own course.

If you look around, you will see the folly of many who decide to clone these charlatans - thus exacerbating the problem you refer to here -

this is why our business has such a bad reputation and is normally associated with the get rich quick crowd.

It is relatively easy for the charlatan to gain further exposure by making false promises - IE future JVs, commissions, guidance, exposure and a host of other baits. They would appear to be in the ascendancy.

But on the contrary, those who differentiate stand out like a sore thumb. The truth is the greatest bait you can lay. If everyone were to automatically stumble upon those who are genuine offering the kind of information they need - there would be no need for them to improve their thought processes and develop their own intuition.

Those who mislead actually do others a service, as they help to accelerate the learning process of newcomers, thus preparing them to make the most of legitimate opportunities when they eventually find them.
