I’ll maintain an open mind and look at it. Just don’t want to lose my focus and I’m already splitting myself in 2 different directions with working on my little project and trying to implement the new stuff I’m learning and disappointed that it didn’t come together as quickly as I had hoped.

Ugh,… and I totally relate to the “getting over” quietly working behind the scenes and being anonymous. That is a BIG thing for me – and strangely worried that what I’m doing may not be perfect enough.

Anyway thank you for the insights and the honesty – it’s really appreciated.

Angela

Anyway that said…I have been in a similar mind in regards to this offering. In the end I came to a similar conclusion..that if other AJ students are there..well what the heck and its free initially.

I am glad I am not the only one who was a bit slow in picking up on what was being offered..but from what you have said about the autoresponder and the video, etc. that sounds cost neutral and should be worth the change.
Unfortunately I don’t have a big list right now so I am a little on the thin side to go and get sign ups…

Appreciate the info and the range of comments.
Like the video above as well..seem to have that down pat by the way.
Hope to get back into the saddle this weekend with the next call with AJ on module 5..missed the earlier one..hope to get the recorded version ASAP..thanks Alex!!! if your listening..already sent him a Tweet.

Best regards…Paul Mracek

Oh, thats really surprise me – I guess I must have been confused by both and must double check what I read on the internet as well as look back on what my innovations business module lecturer told me.

My sincerest apologies to everyone for posting about MLM being illegal and Thank you to Kath for quickly rectifying my knowledge.

Thanks again and all the best
Nigel

Hope all is well – just checking what time will the PPP Issue 2 be launched today.

Oh it seems like the views of others are starting to come out and I think some of the actions taken are a bit harsh just because there’s an MLM attached to it.

Like Alex once said, we should all venture our comfort zone and so okay MLM Schemes are illegal in the UK, but the fact is, you didn’t join because of the MLM.

You, instead, joined for the tools, the opportunity of testing what may become the future and asset of any internet marketers business.

I, for one, won’t be joining, but that’s because I’m preoccupied with a new Blog and my new eBook which I working on. Think you maybe interested to know *hint hint* your name and newsletter is featured as an example hehe… hope you don’t mind about that.

All the best and speak soon
Nigel

You seem to identified a problem there. I’ll have to get in touch with the plugin developers to see if they can sort it.

>Jeffrey – I don’t think which ever view you take it’s not going to upset anyone. We can all discuss things here and express our points of view. Like I say I’m in your camp but understand why others don’t want to do it. My primary motivation is the great tools. Period.

I’ve already got some fantastic plans by getting these tools as such an affordable price. But more of that later

I am with you in this. I see no harm in signing up and see where it leads.

The thing we have to take note is not to divert our attention on the main core business that Alex is teaching us to build.

Well, I don’t want to upset anybody here. It is just my bloody opinion.

Anyway guys, Let us stay united here and please don’t break the chain.

Cheers.

PS: If ya don’t turn it off you know who I’m gonna send over don’tcha? Yep. And he will be armed.

I just looked at your honour roll up there on the left. Have I REALLY made 99 comments here? Jeez! I guess it will be 100 now. LOL!

Gazz-Man from Gazz-Land.

Some of us have sooo much to learn before we’re even able to do many of the things some of you are already doing.

>Lea – It’s a fair point what you say about initial launches. I won’t be rushing in and doing anything until I’m happy with it.

Staying focused on AJ and getting this business built is top priority for me and I can always add things as needed.

Talk soon,
Lea

I’m going to have to pass on Web Prosperity. Having had experience in the past with MLM I’ve found it’s not my thing in life and I would rather concentrate my efforts on building my business based on what Alex is teaching us.

I’m finding I’ve got enough on my plate trying to sign up to the various social sites I need to and other things I’ve got going on.

I don’t seem to be driving all that much traffic at this stage, so I’m either not offering the content people want or I’m not getting the word out in the right areas.

Keep up the good work over here and I look forward to the new edition of the newsletter.

Cheers,
Dean Hohn

PS: Other Gazza – up to editing 13/29 and flying into the back-straight. Coming along nicely.

Well put. Sometimes we have to have a rant. That GAZZA has a lot to answer to, LOL!

Like you say there is no right and wrong way to do things. As long as you take ACTION, monitor progress and adjust your plans in response to feedback as to what is and isn’t working, then you will move in the right direction.

And as you, I really can’t see how anybody could get so upset over something which I consider so trivial. But I’d really like Paul to respond because the more we can understand where people are coming from we can learn and adjust if needed. In the end, though people make there own choices and if they want to miss out on all the good stuff because of a minor irritation then I know where that will get them. I think Paul need to pause and reflect on that. I hope it isn’t his first and last post but then it takes a big man to sometimes back-track a little from an initial stance. We shall see, but hopefully he is more aware of my position on the matter after the above few comments.

>Carl – I agree with you about ‘splitting your focus’. That’s not the case for me though because of the reasons I’ve given already. But I can see it may be the case for others – that it could become a distraction in which case I would strongly say to those – DON’T get involved if you feel that may happen. Stick with what you know and are learning with Alex Jeffreys.

As another aside, I notice Dean has branched out and has started to promote another mentoring program which is endorsed directly by Alex Jeffreys himself. Now none of us other students have been party to this. I only mention it as obviously Alex Jeffreys himself is encouraging Dean to go and do this so in the end each individual has to decide how much time they have and how best that is focused within the overall objectives of what we want to achieve.

The comments here have been helpful, and reinforced my decision not to take up the offer.

Carl.

I have taken the same view on this you. Some of the tools look very useful and at a very reasonable price. Not sure I would be too quick to drop aweber though as Dave said above, deliverabililty is key.

As you know, Mark Call is heavily involved with this so anyone who needs more info can ask him. As to the ‘business opportunity’ side of it anything is a bonus. But as I have said to Mark, it doesn’t really fit in with the direction I wish to take.

Having said that, I don’t see any harm in signing up. The important thing is that we don’t lose sight of our goals and follow our plan. It’s too easy to become distracted and we shouldn’t let that happen.

We are all reaching the stage where we are going to start taking different directions in how we choose the build an online income.

In my opinion, no one way is right and no one way wrong. It depends on the individual, their goals and business model. I don’t understand why some people seem to get so upset when someone is trying something different.

I say good luck to them.

The comment from Paul above is an example. So your investigating this MLM opportunity. So what! I really don’t get why that should upset one of your visitors, maybe they could learn something.

It’s not like me to have a rant as you know but I think I have been spending too much time with GAZZA, LOL

I got your email btw, sorry I haven’t replied yet. I have been busy with SOA but I will catch up with you soon mate.

All the best

Also, agree with what you say about the tools. In the end the MLM is nearli incidental if you can get benefit out of using the tools for yourself

>Nigel – Yeah I saw that there was an association with Tony Robbins, I’ve written before on my blog about him. One of my ‘heroes’ and made a real difference to how I do things in life. He has been the most influential self development guy around for me anyway.

>Paul – Well I guess you can’t please all the people all the time. But I guess the first negative comment I have ever got in the blog in virtually 7 weeks is pretty good going. Basically, I don’t expect people to agree with me all the time. That would be impossible.

I do think Paul you have bee a bit hasty though. If you have been an avid reader of mine then it is because you have taken away value and I am pleased that I could be of help and interest to you. I notice it is your first ever comment and it is a real shame that it is a negative one but do respect your viewpoint and hope you will post back to explain why such strong stance. I really want to understand.

I think if you read my post and comments again I make it very clear on the MLM opportunity – that side of things is virtually incidental to the great tools and will not detract in anyway from what I am doing with the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Course – giving away great content and keeping readers up to date with what works and what doesn’t work. I have even stated that I am sceptical but am approaching it with an open mind as Internet Marketers with far more experienced than me are jumping on board. I think an open mindedness with an element of scepticism is a healthy thing otherwise none of us would ever go outside our comport zone. But Paul, we all have our own opinions and if you feel so strongly about my stance, which you find objectionable, then even though I find it confusing after the reasons I give, I have to respect it but obviously can’t chance my own views to accommodate you and everyone. Like I say that is impossibility to please everyone all the time.

I would genuinely like to know though, why such a strong and extreme reaction to something that is such a miniscule part of what I am doing here???

Why would you even look at an MLM.You lost an avid reader here buddy.

I got nothing more to say.

Thanks for recently leaving some really great supportive comments – really appreciated it and yeah I’ve been busily googling away at Web Prosperity and David D’Arcangelo – and what I have found is the guy already owns numerous compnaies including an Aweber type autoresponder service called Getresponse and that web prosperity is teamed up with motivational guru Tony Robbins.

Hmm.. it all sounds quite interesting

Anyway I thought I’d popped this here and sorry to yourself or anyone else who already knew about that.

All the best
Nigel

Like you I ignored this because it was MLM (which I have no interest in) mainly because of the complete crap that has been around!

Well, when a well trusted IM guy I follow and respect (who would be the last guy I’d imagine doing this – Kevin Riley) – signed up and posted about it I took a look.

The IM tools look like they will be very useful to any online marketers – so let’s see what they are like.

As long as you can use the tools (web meeting etc can be $40 + a month anyway) and get something out of that alone this should be well worth looking into.

The problem is anyone at an early stage of IM is going to get info overload if they look at this as well as Alex’s tasks – so maybe it’s not for everyone.

I did a blog on it and got to #1 on google – case study here..http://tinyurl.com/9lzrar

hope this helps people – not just for this but any SEO/SEM

Cheers
