Your goals for a homebased business or internet marketing is what should be a defining point in your action, skip this and you will fail, identify it correctly and your efforts will be greatly rewarded by success that could be far superceeding your initial goals.

And to illustrate my point I want to share a personal story, story I don’t tell too often but one, that has led me to success that went FAR BEYOND my original goals. Perhaps what I share will help you make some sense of what you are currently doing and what your plans will be in near future.

This is just a personal story, so please take it as such and let me know what you think, share your own story!

There are many types of Internet Marketing Conferences and I have personally attended JV Alert Live in the past, which in my mind is one of the best for networking and organized by Ken McArthur, who really cares about your success on the web.

But there are some that stand head and shoulder above the rest for one simple reason – conferences designed specifically to provide you with training! Internet Success Systems Live is one of them, organized by Mark Hendricks, who I consider to be my personal unofficial mentor , its goal is to provide Live training for the members of Mark’s training group, members of ISS and delivers tremendous value to attendees. But to participate in this seminar – you don’t have to be a member, in fact I will show you how to get hundreds of $$$ off the admission ticket in this post!

Better yet, since I have already bought my own ticket, got my hotel booked and my flight scheduled – I would like to offer you a bonus for acting – let’s network LIVE and I will personally answer any questions you might have or offer solutions to your blogging stumbles!

For a newcomer, many aspects of internet marketing are mysterious. How to make money with AdWords? What is search engine optimization, is it a WordPress plugin? What’s the difference between affiliate marketing and article marketing?

A combination of these questions and more crossed my head in the journey to understanding Internet marketing. I wrapped my head around most of them now, but one area of Internet marketing didn’t make much sense to me until very recently: Amazon Associate marketing.

Amazon Associates program pays a tiny commission compared to other affiliate programs. How does anyone make anything worthwhile with this? Why even bother? Not only that, but you can actually read discussions online about how worthless Amazon Associate program is.

I’ve been using both WordPress and XSitePro for a long while now and have come to love both a applications for various reasons. However, in the last year I’ve really fallen in love with XSitePro because of the following reasons …

It’s fast

I can build a new 5 page website in as little as 30 minutes with the software. Granted, I will need to have my content already written and lined up, but thanks to the software’s multi-page creation feature I can launch a new Adsense or affiliate site in less than one hour.

When you collaborate with others on the Internet it can quickly become a frustrating experience when some of the people don’t have access to the same tools. Trying to match a Word doc to Google Docs is a nightmare. Officially it’s as simple as uploading Word into Docs. In reality doing so opens a whole can of formatting worms, one you’d rather not deal with if time is of the essence.
