Andrew Wilson's Internet Marketing Videos is now in its 2rd month and so far nobody has ended their membership. 
Having taken some surveys of what people would like to see as extra content we are now adding much more content. This has started with a series of videos on Social Marketing (some call it Web 2.0) and right now I am just adding a WordPress training course which teaches how to install WordPress and then goes on to show exactly how to make a membership site based upon WP. We even provide a specially modified plugin to make the job even easier.
Here is a brief listing of some the topics covered by our video training in just two months:
Press releases
List building
SEO
Internet marketing
How to install scripts on your hosting server
How to use Dreamweaver to build websites
How to use many social marketing sites
How to use and install WordPress
All covered with in depth video, much in two versions – for your PC viewing pleasure and for taking away on your iPod.
In addition we have a monthly 'business in a box' all ready for you to promote and start earning money and even a range of ebooks and software covering the major monthly topics.
Check out Andrew Wilson's Internet Marketing Videos to find out, from the basics, how to make a mint from your online business!
I was thinking today, I had been reading an Internet Marketing forum, and I saw an offer. Basically it was another set of websites premade and full of content and the guy selling them was saying about how much money we would make from using these websites. He wasn't charging little money we are looking at about $50 apiece, the plan was to sell 50 of each site.
It made me think, the guy who designed these sites and built them. Well, he has an interest he is enthusiastic about the sites and he claims the sites have done well in his care, and has earnt good money from them, a little strange, because they don't have any Alexa rankings and negligable traffic. But who am I to know.
The people to whom he sells the sites – I think most of them are looking for a way to make money and are hoping that this thing will be the thing and that these sites will earn them some money.
Do we really need another website about acne?
Do we really need another website about affiliate marketing?
Does the world really need another cookie cutter site about some kind of aspect of health or beauty?
I don't think so.
What the world needs is people who are enthusiastic about something. We need to be enthusiasts – then we can make acne or affilaite marketing come alive.
We need to concentrate on adding value, to giving something extra to the world not just another copy of something that somebody else has already made.
It may be that we start off with something that somebody else made, a template. We do that all the time, but it seems to me that success comes when we add value, not simply to copy and stamp out another copy.
Sometimes I wonder whether what I do and whether the small money I earn is because I am enthusiastic about what I do.
The world doesn't really need another article directory, but some for reason we have something that works.
THe other websites that we used to build and sell work; I was and am an enthusuast about them. I researched and I designed the model. I experimented with them, and make them work.
So is the real truth, the real secret of what we need in order to succeed enthusiasm and added value?
To make something new to the world?
To add to the world not just to spread out what is already there?
Perhaps those who are successful in the longer term successful becasue they add value to the world?
I think that ultimately it's because we are adding value that the enusiast can make yet another site about acne, becasue the enthusiasm brings some added value.
I think I know the answer. Anybody who talked to me about things in which I'm interested in the world of Internet marketing knows that I am an enthusiast about those things, but when I talk to other people often they seem jaded, they seem flat, and oftentimes they're not doing so well.
When the same people find something at which they can be enthusiastic something where they can add value the picture changes. All of a sudden the start to earn money.
What are you guys think? Is it enough to just do more of the same. Or should we look for a new something, a new way of adding value of making the world a better place?

I have recently (re)started to get articles wrtten for me by the team at Need an Article. When working with them and other decent writers they like to have some idea of the reference material we would like to use. Often we point them at Wikipedia and leave it at that. Sometimes this is enough, but for a series of articles or for 'insight' we need to do more.
A couple of months ago I needed a load of material on cord blood donation and preservation. Apart from a load of splogs recycling each other's material there was not a lot of real information out there. BUT I hit lucky: www.highbeam.com/
This service acts a collator of content for research the great thing is that the 'noise' that we find in Google et al is filtered and the residue is good quality source material.
The service is not free, but there are subscription deals and a free trial period. I did not want to write about www.highbeam.com/ before I had used them for a while but as they are still getting my money it seemed worthwhile to pass on the tip.
The way I use HighBeam is to do a search for my source material, save it and then download the documents so they can be passed onto the writers.
Sometimes one can find the same material online but usually only after first having used HighBeam to filter out the rubbish. If you need to provide good quality sources for your writers these guys can save scads of time and give much better results than Wikipedia and Google searches will do.
