Hi

There is so much BS in the internet marketing world that I thought I would share my story in the hope it might help give a little encouragement to my fellow newbies.

I'm a regular guy, 4 kids, a mortgage and an 8 year old car that I'd really like to change! I discovered eBay a few years back and having stumbled upon a profitable niche I used it to supplement my income.

I joined John Thornhill's mailing list after buying one of his eBooks and in January 2008 I signed up for John's 16 week internet marketing coaching program.

I found it quite challenging at first as I'm a little inept when it comes to the techy side of things but with John's support and guidance I succeeded in writing an eBook, putting a blog online and setting up an autoresponder.

I put my eBook on ClickBank in May 2008 and achieved my first sale at the end of that month.

Fast forward to December, I posted a comment on Jim Cockrum's blog, Jim replied to the comment requesting a review copy of my ebook which I sent. A few days later he asked if I would agree to add my eBook to the bonus pool at his 'my silent team' membership site in return for a promotion in his weekly newsletter, I, of course, agreed.

Last week I received an email from John Thornhill asking if I would write a testimonial for his new Marketing Masterclass program and if I would like to promote it to my list.

So to bring you bang up to date, I have built an opt in list of 1,000 subscribers with my first eBook, I have sold 300 copies of the eBook and yes I did promote John's Marketing Masterclass to my list, I sent 1 email on the 23rd and followed it up on the 27th, my total affiliate commissions to date - $994.00 (for this promotion)

I have created a short video with screenshots which I have posted on my blog (see my sig.)

I am currently working on eBook no 2 and hope to have a further 4 products online by the end of 2009.

I do hope that any aspiring internet marketer who may be having doubts that they really can make money online will find some inspiration in my experiences.

Best of luck to you all!
