Preview of the Thirty Day Challenge 2009
May 8th, 2009I was losing my zest for marketing
March 20th, 2009You will have no doubt have noticed my lask of posts here on the blog of late, I was truely losing my lust for marketing, with no product to talk about, I even stopped tweeting (using twitter, you can follow me by going to http://twitter.com/hugh_fraser), I have heard this been said before:
People always lose their interest in something just before they break past that point where there is no return!!
I think I shall stick it out and carry on and see how I go give it a few months more, then I’ll reasses my situation,why not post your comments below to let me know where you are and if you have hit this point as well.

Decided to get out & about with my laptop
February 16th, 2009The reason: I was running out of ideas to write about so I decided to take the laptop out of the house and write while I was in a cafe, that is quite busy despite this economic downtown. As I write this there are probably about 20 people in here and the radio is on in the background but it’s not one of those cafe chains, we (Jennifer, (My wife, Mum-in-law & myself))are sitting in a independently owned cafe that has been in Larne Town Centre for as long as I can remember, I think it has been here since before I was born in 1976.

So that was my trip out of the house, will I take the laptop out of the house again? Who knows? I might even go into a cafe with internet connection so I can do the whole thing while I am in the cafe and send a email to my very small Aweber list of under a 100 people, all while I sit in a cafe drinking a Mocha! Hmm, that does actually sound quite good!
Until I next talk to you, which I plan, later this week,

Back Online!!
December 29th, 2008OK, I back on line.
The reason this site was offline, Not able to pay the hosting on time but I am in the early days of my internet marketing adventures and I do hope this doesn’t happen again but if it does, it does!! As the old say goes “We all learn by our mistakes”, I have learned by this one as two months hosting fees PLUS $10 so in the end I think it cost me $27 plus the lost visitors to the blog.
All, I can say is what a freaking nightmare!!
Signing off for now.

My Top 5 Podcast’s
November 27th, 2008I have been listening to Podcasts now for about 10 Month’s or there abouts, but something rather strange happened (well, to me, anyway!) within the last 24 hours, I was talking to Lynn Terry On Twitter (http://twitter.com/lynnterry, I would recommend you follow her, if you are on Twitter!!), about Podcasts and how she had been losing out on some really great free Podcasts available through Apple iTunes, this led onto Lynn asking me for my favourite Podcasts.
So here is my Top 5 Podcasts On iTunes (In Reverse Order):-
- Marketing Online Live – with Alex Mandossian and Paul Colligan – Alex Has taught over 12,000 Teleseminars since 2002, and no it’s not a misprint. The Thing I like about Paul is (following text from his blog) At all times, I only recommend products I use – or would tell my Mom to use. You have my promise there. Paul is another great Podcast, I’ll tell you about that later though!
- Internet Marketing | Podcast With Mike Filsaime – If you have been interested in Internet Marketing for longer than two weeks you more than likely already know who Mike Filsaime is. But If now go to about Mike Filsaime.
- FrequencyCast UK TV and Tech – Now I couldn’t let a Post about Podcast’s go by without mentioning my favourite UK Tech Podcasters, Could I? Why? Put simply I love the way Carl & Pete have fun and joke about on the show!
- Internet Marketing Secrets Podcast – I love this as it gives you a great all round experience of Internet Marketing but at times very advanced but none the less I find it enjoyable.
- Internet Marketing This Week – OK, why have I put this at #1, they have some of the biggest names in Internet Marketing World on the call Live with them, so if they say something that doesn’t quite ring true one way or another, Ed & his band of friends, which include Paul Colligan, Lynn Terry & Michelle MacPhearson are on hand, I am not sure but it is as though they are Consumers rather than Internet Marketers although they do Major Internet Marketers, (Brand New Podcast, 5 Weeks old and it is already in the Featured Top 10 in iTunes!! Talk about amazing work!!) I love the style of the show and with Four main co-presenters, the show is kept lively!!
Sorry, It has been so short and sweet, I am still trying to get comfortable writing . I am not a great writer especially as I have been up for 24 hours and so!!

Amazing But Scary at the same time!!
November 15th, 2008Became a spook from the BBC program Spooks Code 9: here is a video of me in the game!! Very weird!
Validation: The Movie
November 15th, 2008I was over at a blog watching this 16 minute long movie, my advice, you have to watch it. It is so worth you sitting and watching it.
Another great book by Alex Jeffreys – The Guru’s Dream!
October 30th, 2008I have to say I took most of yesterday off to read this great new book, The Guru’s Dream, and it has put a rocket up my backside.
Why?
Well, just lets put it this way I have not had a great start to my internet marketing career, why, I have been trying to take your maoney rather than giving you value! I have seen the errors of my ways and from now on, I’ll be giving all of my content away for the forseeable furture, yep for the next 6 – 9 months.
When I produce
- videos
- ebooks
- audios
- blog content
I’ll be giving it away for free!
Now I will at times be asking you for your name and email address, but I hope you understand why i’ll be doing this?
For now.
One more thing, Comments, I would love to hear your comments on this!
Social Media that needs more exposure
