Hey Everyone,

Been a very very very long time since i have updated my blog and i really do apologize for that.

Over the last 4 month’s i have been really really busy working on everything but the IM niche and the blog and my IM promotions reflect that, badly!

But i also have some good news!

About a year ago now a subscriber just like you purchased one of my product’s and then we got talking. Since then we have both helped each other with different project’s and websites and we both realized that we share the same goal’s but lack the knowledge and experience on our own to progress forward in the IM niche (mainly due to time constraints with our other projects).

So we have finally decided to move forward in the Internet Marketing niche together!

What that means is…

Instead of me continuing to update this blog it will be deleted in around 1 month’s time and everything is being moved over and started afresh over at another blog (www.firststopim.com).

At this blog you will find both myself and my new JV partner (Mark Blaze) who will be working very hard over the next month to get that new blog up to date and full of information and content.

Two brains are always better than one

BUT here come’s the truth part…

A while ago i was called out as being both Tom Brite and someone else (that someone being Lewis Turner). In actual fact my real name is Lewis Turner!

I used the name Tom Brite simply because the domain Lewis Turner was not available and my online marketing past was not all whitehat and great! I actually use to be all blackhat and make all my money from blackhat methods, but soon enough realized that chasing the buck and always watching my tail wasn’t the best way to go in life so now focus solely on creating lifetime business’s that will earn me an income forever (the whole work once and profit for life approach).

Your past i feel shouldn’t be hidden and really does make you who you are and so after Mark’s persistent annoyance over me not telling you guy’s, there it is!

I hope this doesn’t change anything as im still the same guy but just under my real name instead of a pen name!

Thanks

Lewis Turner (aka Tom Brite)

P.S. Any questions or comment’s then leave them below

Interesting subject came up with a regular commenter and subscriber here called James who was just asking me about the ping code on another post here.

However it wasn’t the ping code that was interesting (well it is but even more interesting is this…).

This ping code is completely free to everyone here and freely made available by me, now i didn’t discover this but i marketed it and since i started i have read several ebooks that include this code and are calling it the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Even worse than that a $49 product was created which simply does the same thing this ping code does that im giving away here but also does one small extra thing that can be done for free and also includes a strategy that i teach and have taught in the past, again for free!

What strikes me most is the fact that all of these products have had comments on them saying how great they are and specifically about the quick pinging code… BUT they PAID for this!

It is exactly the same thing but re-packaged differently and a price tag stuck on it so that it looks like it has ‘more value’.

Yet in actual fact it is the exact same thing but instead of a big price tag stuck on it and some simple addon information i give you all of this for free!

Now… the real point of this post was to get your opinions on the ‘perceived value’ of products!

and

By paying for something do you really get more out of it or are you a freebie user and actually use the free stuff and don’t just throw it in the pile of garbage with all the other freebies available?

Let me know in the comments below,  your thoughts (and be honest)!

It’s Halloween!

So i just wanted to make a short post and wish everyone a happy halloween.

Now i know some of you don’t celebrate Halloween or maybe even know what it is but why should you? its just an excuse to party so party on and make the most of it!

Ok! Some people requested that i make a email signup list so that they can get direct blog updates to their email so i added it’s now added and working!

It is located on the right hand side now -> just below the twitter and facebook images which will also send you updates automatically.

So now if you signup there then you will get informed immediatly whenever a new blog post is put up so you no longer have to keep coming back to the blog and waiting!

You will also be spammed all the time by me trying to make some quick money from you!

WAIT!

What i ment to say is i will not spam your email and will only send you related emails if i feel that you will benefit from them! Which includes free stuff, paid and discounts etc!

So get going ->

So i thought i would give you all the full story on what’s happened and whats going to happen before you heard the miss-information from anyone else.

So here we go…

Yesterday (October 11th 2009) i was banned from the warrior forum, reason was because i had previously been a member of the warrior forum but under a different account name and had been banned around 6 months ago.

Since then i re-signed up and kept my nose 110% clean and changed my ways! Ive helped 1000’s of people in the last 6 months earn money online of which many still come back to me and show their gratitude and continue to earn money.

But as most of you are probably also warrior forum members i thought i would share with you the truth! Also because you are probably wondering what’s going to happen now and am i still going to carry on etc etc etc

Well for the past 24 hours ive been submitting support tickets and have been contacted by the ‘big’ guys over at the warrior forum pulling in big cash and who ive been getting to know very well who are all concerned and who have been voicing their opinions both with me and with the warrior forum admins.

So anyhow i still haven’t had a reply back and feel its unlikely i will! After all i broke a rule and have been banned forever with the new account.

BUT! The good news is im still going to continue… i have been offered 5 JV offers since both to promote my products that are coming out soon(ish) and to create or promote and help people with there’s.

All my promotions are still on but as i used the warrior forum to connect with most of you instead it will be via this blog and email.

Plus seeing as it will probably be harder for people to find this blog its up to you and everyone else who visits to spread the good word!

Plus just like anyone great we all have our fall’s. Take for example Frank Kern, one of the most well known internet marketers, he had some legal trouble with the FTC and had to pay out $600,000 i believe and for a long time stopped and then came back and did even better than ever.

So im taking this as an opportunity to make myself succeed even more, to out do everyone else even when what i considered a very good resource of clients, JV’s, Affiliates and help has now gone!

It also leads me into another point about how you shouldn’t have all your eggs in one basket and im glad i don’t!

The warrior forum only made up a small part of my overall income and this ‘hit’ has come as a shock but not really effected my overall income!

I have many more projects to do both inside and outside of the IM niches and will still be here to help you all. In fact i will now be here even more because i wont be wasting any time helping people who don’t want to succeed on the warrior forum.
So overall what im trying to say is everyone has their bad days, things that go wrong and things that are totally unexpected!

Ok i broke a rule but i didn’t hurt anyone, leave anyone without their money and the same goes with my previous account 6 months or so ago!

Anyhow… this wont stop me making money, helping people or achieving my goals and the same goes for anyone else!

‘When the shit hits the floor pick yourself back up’

So that’s exactly what im doing!

Keep on going… keep being successful… keep achieving your goals!

Okay so i was just walking my dog and thought it might be kinda cool to do a weekly or monthly marketing webinar for you.

But i need your thoughts on this….

yes? no?

times? days?

Topics of interest/discussion?

Leave your thoughts and answers to these questions in the comments below and if the response is good then i will look at doing one starting next week or maybe even this week.

Tom Brite

P.S. It would be one where you can join in and ask questions and give feedback and not just me doing sales pitches for products like a typical webinar!

There aint many marketers (as you probably already have found out) who care about everyone they come in contact with!

Fortunatly you are in luck…

As you can probably also already tell my marketing blog here is still fairly new and is lacking in content yet is getting alot of traffic already.

So it’s time for a big update push on my part, BUT! There is no point in giving you content on subject’s that your not interested in now is there?

That’s why ive created a poll to the right of this post and will appear on every page of the site with some major category options to vote for.

You can vote for more than one but please don’t go and vote for all of them… i will cover all of them eventually but need to know what matters and is important to you now.

So go ahead and please vote right now and then tommorow i will start work on some free content for you and am also working on giving away a great product i picked up with PLR rights that will help everyone.

If you want me to cover something else first or want me to cover a specific aspect of something then go ahead and leave a comment below… even if its just to get a backlink and say thanks!

To Your Success

Tom Brite
