Not Your Grandfather's Career The Internet Brings Entrepreneurs Home
by Michele Cervone Scott Entrepreneurs around the globe are earning legitimate income from home thanks to the Internet. And the benefits abound. Today's entrepreneurs enjoy made-to-fit lifestyles that previous generations could not imagine. They set their own hours, often around hobbies, travel, and family. They have the freedom to work from anywhere without the stress of employees or rush hour commutes. Dan Miller, author of No More Mondays, says, "We are seeing an explosion of new work models, including consultants, independent contractors, electronic immigrants, teleworkers, and contingency laborers. While in past years entrepreneurs were expected to rent buildings and hire employees, these days they may operate Internet businesses that require neither." Online publishing and affiliate marketing is an exciting industry worth considering. Typically, online publishers create a website around a topic of expertise. They establish partnerships with vendors and promote their goods or services to generate income. Internet and affiliate marketing expert James Martell has been a successful online publisher since 1999. He draws most of his site traffic through content and natural searches on sites like Google, MSN, and Yahoo, which keeps his costs low and his profits high. When his marketing efforts drive customers to purchase from his partners' sites, James shares in the profits. James Martell's proven track record makes him a sought after leader in the field. He has been teaching his affiliate marketing techniques since 2002, first as one-on-one sessions then night courses, newsletters (the "buzz"), live and online bootcamps, workshops, and a top selling ebook, now in its third edition. He presents at industry events worldwide including Affiliate Summit, the largest conference in the industry, Commission Junction, and 1and1.com, the world's largest web host. Now, entrepreneurs who desire to work from home can train at home, too, thanks to James Martell's new Super BootCamp. Through this 26-lesson interactive training program, James teaches every nuance he has learned during 8 years in the business, including industry changes since he first began. Students learn the creation, promotion, and maintenance of their own affiliate marketing website as James transforms industry terms and 3-letter acronyms into easy to follow actions, even for non-techies. The comprehensive course curriculum is taught in a structured environment which reduces the learning curve. The list of topics includes:
James uses top-quality, multimedia components, such as his virtual conference room, for these dynamic lessons. Participants watch and listen to live teaching which benefits their learning. They communicate with James and learn from each other through text messaging and the use of an inexpensive, telephone-style headset. "I like the classroom atmosphere," says Christy Itamoto, "There are always questions asked from other students that I never would've thought of asking." James gives small, weekly homework assignments throughout the 26-lesson course to help students make progress on their websites. Student Tony Miller says "The format for the online bootcamp was perfect for me. To have a week between steps allows me to study and digest the information at my own pace. It also gives me a deadline to have the work done." Tuition also includes live coaching through online Q&A sessions twice per month; an active online forum with over 5,000+ member posts; video, MP3, and written transcripts of each lesson; as well as audio Coffee Talk interviews with industry players. According to recent students, Andréanne Hamel and partner Luc Cloutier, "The quality of the information and the effectiveness of the techniques James generously teaches are many times demonstrated. We were happy to find proof that he does what he says and it works." Tammy and Romeo say, "The BootCamp was amazing. It was so much more then we expected. The interaction in the online conference room was 'just like being there' only better - we didn't have to leave our home to participate fully." Entrepreneurs who are committed to learning a proven method for an exciting career at home as an affiliate marketer have an incredible opportunity through Super BootCamp. Right now, James is offering a guaranteed 4-week trial membership and a choice of one free lesson. And the entire six months of comprehensive training plus ongoing support are available for practically the cost of one weekend at a favorite resort. The Internet is changing the way the world works, and James Martell is making successful, at-home careers a real possibility. Denis Vaillancourt calls his experience at James Martell's BootCamp "the best investment I've ever made in myself, my family and our dreams." Scott Gray adds "I really like the staying at home online concept. It is really easy to plan it around my family and kids." A legitimate income and brand-new lifestyle is possible from home. This is truly a far cry from your grandfather's career. Source: Miller, Dan. (2008). No more Mondays – Fire yourself and other revolutionary ways to discover your true calling at work.
