With all four partners running hard to get www.SmartMarketingWarriors.com set up we're having to do some rapid research on various subject.
That led me a research resource that I thought I would share with you. I've tucked the information on DocStoc.com into the page on Public Domain although I'm not entirely sure that's where it belongs.
One of the joys of blogs is the ability to sort things out later!

The Global Internet Summit in London last weekend has converted a concept development idea into a need for massive action.
A few weeks ago, four of us from the monthly Smart Marketing meetup decided that as our monthly meetings had slowly expanded from a couple of hours on a Saturday morning to fill most of the day it was time for us to become better organised.
So we started to think about using our accumulated experience and knowledge to create a training process for budding internet marketers.
Last weekend at GIS changed all that. The market demand for a step by step approach to online marketing, especially for individuals and small off-line businesses looking to develop their business online at a reasonable price was staring us in the face. Laurie Dalton and I rapidly ran out of business cards and had to resort to exchanging scraps of paper with interested entrepreneurs.
The result is that we are taking massive action and putting together the facilities to provide reasonably priced training at a pace that individuals can absorb without having to take chunks out of their credit card to get there.
The work in progress is over at www.SmartMarketingWarriors.com. If you are interested then do please visit and register so that we can communicate with you about meetings and the training we will be able to provide.

with Stephen Pierce
I just spent the weekend at the Global Internet Summit 2009 in London and had the opportunity of remaking my acquaintance with Stephen and Alicia Pearce who have not been in the UK for some time.
Having been a heavy participant in Stephen's Smart Marketing Coaching Club when I first got started in internet marketing I knew that Alicia was aware of this site because I used to link SMCC members here from an SMCC forum thread when I knew I had some information here that they were looking for.
That was classic forum marketing. Participate in a big player's forum and steal their list away to look at your site either with a link to useful information or just by making sensible comments and having a link in your signature. It's what Stephen teaches so I knew he wouldn't mind.
However, I was surprised when Alicia commented that I had not posted anything here for some time. What was I up to? She explained her interest is because she often referred to my site and even showed it onscreen during her webinars.
Her second comment was to ask why I was not monetizing it more?
The answer, of course, was that I had diverted my efforts into a new project which is also based on blogging. In other words, I was doing more work on more projects without making sure that I was making money from the first one before moving on.
You can pay thousands of expensive dollars for coaching and mentoring. But most often it is a single comment or question from someone who knows what they are talking about that you can so easily miss. I was about to say '..if you are not paying attention'. but that would not be right.
I was not in 'learning mode' with notepad and pencil at the ready and supposed to be paying attention. Alicia's comment was just in conversation – but so relevant all the same. She was seeing potential that I was not.
The result is that I shall be putting www.NicheMarketBlogger.com on hold while I come back and sort out my home site to be more productive.
Lesson: your learning does not necessarily take place in a classroom. You can learn lessons from life as it unfolds around you – but you must have your eyes and ears open to do so – and know when to listen.

NicheMarketBlogger.com is my big project of the moment as I set out to demonstrate, well perhaps test would be a better word to use as it is yet to be proven, whether it really is possible to make a living income from a blog.
I'm a great enthusiast of blogs and of the Semiologic Wordpress package in particular but have never explored the limits of the envelope so to speak. Lots of technical stuff that I have previously shied away from now has to be explored. So researching, writing and documenting it is turning into something of a task.
However, do take a look at NicheMarketBlogger.com so you don't miss out on the fun.
