Hi Everyone,
Well it looks like alot of the new Internet Entrepreneurs are looking for some guidance and help with their new online business. This blog is a continuation of our last blog. If you have yet to see our last blog please click here to go watch it as it talks all about Mike and I and our very humble beginnings and quite frankly HUGE frustrations when we first got online.
This blog post today is the first step on what you really need to have when getting online.
YOU NEED A BACKUP PLAN!!!
I am sorry to say, but here it goes, this is the truth.. If you are one of those who lost a job, you have no income source and you have a family to feed… then NO you are not going to replace your income in 1 week or one month… maybe 3 to 6 months but it won’t happen overnight.
And that is why you need a backup plan. If you don’t have one then you will be doing yourself a huge dis service as you will be trying to learn the internet and how to make money with it under HUGE amounts of stress. No one can learn when they are stressed out to the max.
PLEASE watch this blog, it talks about the backup plans Mike and I had when we got started and please post any questions you have here on the blog as we are ALWAYS listening and we will respond 🙂

The good news is, after you have your backup plan, you CAN make money in your pajamas without shaving (like Mike!)
Thanks Tissa you are absolutely correct 🙂
Thanks for the post!
Mike
Thank you for your comment. I need to hear that more.
Margaret you are welcome!
This is very honest, from the heart stuff guys!
True Leaders lead with Integrity and Honesty – You guys are the meaning of it !! Thanks for being AWESOME!
Thanks Ed very much for the kind words
Thanks guys, this is what I need more videos like this one. I am a newbie and everyday I am trying to learn more and more. Still haven’t made a penny, but I am realistic and know that I won’t be making millions over night. Thanks for making your teaching videos with Mark Call very easy to understand. Keep on teaching me!!

Thanks for the refreshing and realistic attitude, sadly so many fall into the hype BS
thank you for being so honest here is my story from starting 15 days ago and boy I am disabled and very frustrated with all the people who want to sell you crap that don’t work and no matter how much you ask for help from the ones that sell you crap software they never really tell you they only tell you what they want you to no.
right where do I start I have put ads on facebook and plenty of fish, these have been paid adverts I have placed ads with adknowledge costing me over $300.00 I have bought a domain name I have setup 14 free websites and I have posted on blogger and I have an account with swarm traffic where I have place ads I have wrote articles on go-articles and my-ezine articles, I have setup a with get response and with icontact and with constant contacts, I have joined clicky and loads of others affiliates suck as globalizer, linkshare, shareasale,avangate, amazon,revenuewire and traid also I have bidhere and moreniche I have listnered to Anthony morrison Adrian Morrison Blake vick from high traffic academy sorry it sounds patetic but with all this and I still have not made any sales at all spent $800.00
Hi Andrew…you are for sure ahead of many people and this is fantastic what you are doing. Sales will come. The key is to build the know like and trust with your prospects and subscribers. Once trust is built the sales will come. It is difficult to sell to people when they do not know who you are and if you are a trusted source. This is why Joel and I blog as much as we can. Showing people that we are a couple of real guys. With real product. To build trust quick…yes you can use Facebook and social media. Blogging too is very powerful as well as doing many online webinars. This will help in a big big way.
Mike
I understand you guys stories about having a back up plan! But what about us people who were caught up in the system that had a job!
My story is i had a job paying me 80.000 a year! But after being assaulted by my supervisor two months after being hired. I was being harassed for the next few years for calling the police on him for the assaulted, I basically filed a law suite in 2008 i was hired in 2004 and was assaulted again in jan 17 2009, and was going through litigation, as seeing a shrink! for the stress they were putting me through. I lost my house,car,wife,kids,and finally my job!
so i have not work since then, and I have been looking for a job as a back up plan. But for some reason since they settled out and paid me which my lawyer took most of my cash and did not get me much of what i would have been making if i was working. I can’t get hired anywhere and i have tried! and still trying, I have been on interviews and it sounds good but i guess these big company communicate with each other and pass information’s on who filed law suites. That is why i turned to the internet. I have not gave up on the internet its just i have been trying and just buying pieces to a big puzzle will make someone like me who has the 6 kids and wife with a car note go broke! My wife was laid off too from Blue cross blue shield. and she makes some money selling on ebay.
The point is that everyone situation is different going against the grain of society when sticking up for your rights has its back lashes. and i am living proof it is Not good. i am in school now! I don’t like working for other but i have to do what i have to do! but if expressing my us rights get me on the black list and not being able to find or get work is not my fault.
So i would love to here some of your advice joel
it is to the point that i cant even pay for my hosting fee’s
to maintain my site or aweber account.
i like trading the forex but it takes a lot of money to do that i have invested in penny stock that I am sitting on. i am open for anything to make money! Back up plan! has been in the making for the last three years!
Please give me some feed back!
Wow! I never heard the truth like you all shared it. After 10 months and thousands of hours and dollars with not even a dime in profit. I could qualify under the frustrated marketer act. So being said that I have one BIG question. What would be a step by step plan on a daily program would you tell me to do. I have the experience of the use of the tools and the 800 plus blogs. But what could you tell us to do on a daily program so we can get the plane of the runway. I’m not sure were I could find a reply to my question. Can you shot me an email. If I have to stand on my head and spit marbles I could do that. Thanks
Ps you can share your answer with everyone as well
I truly believe and understand what you are saying. The real question for me is how do you really know if you are in a business which will last. I was burned pretty bad in a penny auction business which was shut down and supposedly had the best compliance people on board. I recently joined another internet company which will launch shortly. They look like they have all their I’s dotted and T’s crossed. I suppose there is risk associated with any new business whether traditional or internet. Internet less so because of start up costs. Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
Hi Dennis
That is a great question and you must use a good test on them, but let me use GVO as an example
1. We have been in business since 1998
2. Our core product is web hosting, without hosting the internet would not exist. So it is the core NEED not want.
3. Ask yourself this. If not for the opportunity, do people need these products or services. Do people NEED penny auctions or were they there solely for the opportunity? Hundreds of thousands of people USE our tools and do not promote us. They simply love using our tools and need them for their existing business online
You guys are entertaining to say the least, love the post 🙂
More seriously though I have been following Joel for a while – since kiosk.
In that time I have learn t a lot ‘about a lot’. From experience I will say that someone new should give themselves an information diet, so to speak, and not think they have to learn it all to have a lasting effect on their situation.
Thank you guys for the uplifting post,
Lane Lee
Hey Joel and Mike forgive me guess my neticute
isn’t too polished.
Just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement
and a platform that doesn’t cost and arm and a
child to access.
Lane
Arm and a child…never heard it like that but I love it 🙂
I wanna know where YOU guys went to get traffic for your site. I think we would all benefit from being able to duplicate EXACTLY where and how you did that since without traffic, all of us will fail.
Jeff
To be honest about 60% comes from our affiliate base, the other from advertising on goolge PPC network, soloads from people like http://www.dedicatedemails.com we are comign out with a traffic co op soon as we are testing ALL traffic to be sure it converts. If it does we will get that traffic in a co op for our members
Hi guys
I agree the ideal would be to plan moving into Internet Marketing with a back up plan, but not always possible. I’m a Ex Bank Manager who became a Project Manager for a Private Property Company. My Project is/was to oversee the total upgrade of a 8 story building in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Our project started of very well, then one night the empty building was invaded by Street People. That was 15 months ago and we are still in court trying to get the illegal occupants evicted. Project can’t continue till the building is once again vacant.
For 2012 I’ve been paid once and that was at the end of April. I used my funds that I had left to try and get into Internet Marketing. I bought the one program after then next as they all sounded so wonderful.
I only started learning what Internet Marketing was all about when my money ran out and I had to stop buying and start doing. Most of what I bought were junk.
My age counts against me and there is no opportunities in the open job market here for someone my age. I have managed to get into some brilliant programs such as Plug-In Profits and Micro Model Business and hope to start generating income soon. I’m currently also enrolled in a excellent training program that is teaching me all I need to know from the ground up. As soon as I started surfing into the field of Internet Marketing that the field and it’s people had a Language of their own, something that I had to learn if I wanted to survive.
Time to make a back up plan I’m afraid is a luxury for me, one that I don’t have. Well I’m here to Stay and not planning to move in a hurry. There is money to be made and I want to be part of it.
I have been there since the beginning of GVO, the big launch where we were supposed to make thousands of dollars every month. To date I have made less than $150 with my GVO affilite sales and yet others are doing very well, so obviously I am doing something wrong, or not doing what needs to be done. I started learning internet marketing in 2008 and here I am 4 years later still struggling. I have been distracted for sure, and have not stuck with it long enough, but also not knowing what to stick with is part of the problem. There is so much out there and if you don’t have a clear idea of what you are doing, you tend to jump around all over the place just spending money on this and that without any of it really turning into anything substantial. I have had more success building in network marketing, and now am studying digital communications and learning how to use social media more effectively for business.
I am spending over $50 per month and not earning half that. So get real, we BOUGHT your tools, but are not allowed to use them. Why is a real mystery to me. (I doubt it is greed, but maybe?) Let take a few facts.
1.’The Money is in the LIST’
Set-up the auto-responders WE are paying for with OUR own Squeeze pages for ALL your products? (pre=build messages for each too.)
2. ‘Know where your traffic is coming from that CONVERTS’ We need Sales pages on our own domains to do ANY worth while tracking. ( and maybe more?)
3. ‘Stop with the spam from corp.’ Giving MY customers away to 3rd party’s may make you alot money but is sure is hurting & costing me. Cut to a GVO related weekly digest that keeps all sales commission-able to me. so I can profit from what I am building.’
4. ‘Training’ Should include set-up and usage of our live chat rooms, so we can support our downline members. Adding a blog on our domain, and why it is important. Outside Blogging and other types of advertising.
5. ‘Up-selling’ When and how this is cost effective to our Customers.
Without major changes by waring our shoes, Why even ask? Promoting make little sense and less money.
Hi Joel and Mike… Thank you for being so real and telling it like it really is. I have been trying for 2 years now to build a successful online business, but with no success. During this time, I often became so frustrated that I literally gave up several times! The programs I bought into were just too overwhelming and the instructions on how to do things were not very clear. With that being said, I always seemed to come back though because I do believe that I can make this work somehow. I lost my job last year and haven’t been able to replace that income yet, so I’m a bit more determined now. I still consider myself a “newbie” so I’m looking for some clear guidance with a step-by-step action plan and major help with all the technical stuff. I’ve spent hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars, over the last couple of years, and now I’m just not in a good financial position to do that anymore. Where can I go from here with a very very small budget?
Hi Toni
To be honest try to get a part time job to take some of the stress off, as things can and will happen, but not when you are stressed out. We are making things more simple at GVO I know you will like the changes coming
If you have been building a business or trying to build a business for 2 years, you know so much already.. and that IS SUCCESS! You know way more than someone just trying to get into business.
When I first started, I didn’t really treat this as a business. Ask yourself this, would you hire yourself to manage your business?
By the way, a few 1000 dollars on education is nothing. I spent over 32,000 on college education, and didn’t make a livable income for 5 years.
This education that Joel and Mike presented here is so valuable, just because they give it for free, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth 1000s.
Just this one video, I got a lot of good nuggets out of it, I can’t really even put a price on it. With business, lots of value is actually priceless. Something I learned today here may lead me to an extra $10,000 or even an extra $10,000 per month. (It does have that potential when its plugged into all of my current knowledge and skills, it may lead to another breakthrough)
Just the fact that you can ask questions personally to Joel and Mike (and countless others) on this blog, and learn here for free is easily worth $1000s. Last time I asked a lawyer a ‘few’ questions, it cost me $1000.
Having your exceptions in-line with where you are in your life has helped me grow.
Добрый день!
Спасибо за ваше внимание!
Чем вы действительно можете помочь моему бизнесу?
Что у меня не так? и Какие ваши рекомендации?

Hay guys, I get it. I know making money online will take time and afford. I’ve been looking online for over a year now to find a way to make money and I’m so quilty of giving up time after time because I heard and beleived from all the hype in emails and programs out there that it was possible. I receive literally 6 to 7 hundred emails aday and I stay so confused about who is being truthful and so is not that alot of the time I just delete them all. I’ve tried unsubscribing but, they just come back. It’s insane. I recntly joined Stone Evans “PluginProfit” training program. It will be my second time around with him. This time I don’t plan on giving up. I just have to take action, stay focused, and not give up. I’m open to any advice you can give.
Good presentation, thanks guys
Gwen
Thanks Gwen
DONT give up, we are going to help you!!
Joel and Mike,
I watched your blog last week and then the one today. I am so glad to see folks who have been successful in the Internet world blostarting to tell us how it really is and NOT the normal hype. I am excited to see what your future video blogs show us about building a business, and maybe more importantly, building relationships. I must say that you do provide a lot of valuable training and I look forward to more practical training. I also hope that you will make the last 2 blog posts and the next few available in the back office. I have been with you since since the days GVO was called Kiosk and use many of your great tools, but I have not yet come up with the wining combinations to make a successful business, and know a great deal of the problem in my lack of focus. Thanks for all you have and continue to do.
Preston

Thank you very much for your feedback and insight and for being a member for sooo long. Kiosk? Who is that? Kidding
Hi Joel & Mike, Thanks for the support. I’m and newbie and I think I have some of the tools, but I haven’t been able to put them together yet. I know there is a way to make money on line. It just not happening yet. I would be happy with $200.00. I just need direct to get traffic and have it go to my clickbank account. I need to bring these together. and I truly believe you guys can help US. Thomas
How refreshing to hear the truth about network marketing! Success does NOT happen overnight, it takes time, education and action, not to mention self motivation and passion. This business is not for the faint of heart, but in my opinion offers the best rewards, not just financially, but in the fantastic relationships and real friendships that are formed. For all you newbies out there, remember, we were ALL newbies at one time. Find some good mentors and take their advice. The great thing about GVO is you are NOT alone, there’s the Academy to help you navigate through the hurdles. 🙂
Thanks Deb
You ROCK!!!
Hay Joel, yes I need technical help too.First I must learn English better.
Thanks for your care.Eva
Hi guys… I just wanted to say thanks for your two presentations talking about your beginnings. It gives me hope to continue on with what I am trying to do. I have an awesome upline that helps me every way they can (thanks Eric and Ivey). I am now trying to mentor a young, very busy mom who wants help every step of the way… that is helping ME learn too! So I wanted to tell people out there not to give up, it does take time, and there IS HELP when you need it. FYI my story is simple… I am disabled but going to school to get a degree in medical billing and coding. And I started doing this part time just to see where it will go. I am curious! Gets me in trouble sometimes lol. Again, thanks Joel and Mike!
Thanks Diane
Because you have such an AWESOME attitude, trust me you will succeed
Joel and Mike,
every time seeing you as a duet, my mood is going up.
But… reading the Andrew’s post,my mood is going down to zero point.
Obviously the percentage of frustrated marketers (including me) is much more than successful marketers. However,my expenses are quite lower, but the result is the same.For instance, my Amazon site(too primitive) is not giving me any money.Andrew has 14 sites- the result is the same.
Hi Joel and Mike,I started with internet income(still trying) after some medical issues side swiped my career.What I have done is to join a program to build a residual income on the long run,bought some domain names (hosting account is with GVO),joined 3 other programs to try and have some sort of income to fund the whole internet income process.I also have joined a large amount of safelists and tae’s (almost all as free member) to do advertising and promoting.Unfortunatly I can not afford a program like JSS Tripler to make some income,so I need to get something that will give me a small income to keep me going until I start earning a decent income.I also have an autoresponder set up for my 1 web site.Do you have any thing to recomend and who can i contact about the auto responder at GVO?
Keep up the GREAT service
GVO is fantastic
Anton
Thanks boys , info that´s hurts but it is still welcome .
Thanks Roland .
You mean we aren’t all working in our pajamas? I shave weekly Mike so I understand the time it takes to remove all that hair just to look pretty for the camera. 😉 Great blog post and update guys. Education is key. Keep on learning and you’ll keep on earning.
Thanks for the post Robert! You are exactly right why waist 10 minutes shaving when I can make 100 bucks LOL
Have a great day bro!
Mike
Thansk Blakester for the feedback you rock brother!
Thanks Blakester for the feedback you rock brother!
Respected Joel Therien but from video I have understood nothing thanks for your letter as I do not know English and I translate through the translator. I would like to know as me to be registered at you to receive the web site and a domain name? How many I should pay for it and through what system I am able to do it? Because there where I live it it is possible to make only through VISA a card, and on my name it is not present. Whether I can use for payment VISA of the son? And where to transfer money to what account? Yours faithfully to Vam Natalia Lapitsky.
Hi Joel and Mike. The only thing keeps me here that you are so real and honest. Thank You. Besides that i still don’t understand why i am here, frustrated, lost and don’t know what is my next step. But i know one thing that i want to change something in my life and i am going to follow you and learn more about this. Thank You!
Hi Greg thanks for the words. Small simple things can be done that over time will create results. if you have not already done so. I would make sure to get inside EVP and start creating some videos. Once you are happy with your videos and content I would create a YOUTUBE channel and upload your EVP videos here as well. You can also post your affiliate links etc and back link like crazy. Bringing traffic back to you. Now in this process it does take time. There is alot of crap online and it is to build up the trust within people again. Keep it real and never state false claims. In building trust it is a very good idea to give things away like ebooks/recording etc. First impressions are number one! There are many PL store online that will let you purchase for a very small fee material that you can give away or even sell. (PL meaning Private Label) This will help get the wheels spinning for sure. This is always a great way to get things started. 😉
Thanks for the post
Mike
This was a great post I am now using a software that send traffic to two affiliate offers. When I heard you say it will take time I needed to hear that. You guys come across as the real deal. I like what you offer with GVO. Here is my question the program that I am using will cost me $37 a month with a guaranteeing of 1000 hits a month to two sites. If I want more I have to pay more.If I join your program, traffic getting is the hard part for me even with a good product. Can your help someone like me who can afford about $20 to $40 a month as a budget. That is it my wife wonder if this going to work also,but I have a main job that is my plan b. I have been in Telecommunication for twenty some years. This internet is still new to me and I have never made any money. The program I am using now I just started can you guys help me? I can put anywhere from a 1 hour to four hours a day if need be, Thanks
I’m having difficulty using my website. Also many technical problems. I didnt make any money yet. I really need help to do what im doing in a right way.
Website ? No website for this stuff. While I admire what you do..you know what you’re doing. I have no clue as to what to do in your program. I don’t have any idea how to set up a blog or how to attract prospective buyers on facebook. I am not a techy or geek. I spent my life helping others help themselves and I’m sure I could apply that to this marketing project but first I have to know how to do it. You can’t just throw out a statement and expect people to know how to operate this business…there is more to it but maybe you should write up some step by step instructions …I’m hearing impaired …I cannot understand a video …I can hear you talking but I don’t know what you are saying…with my type loss ..we hear but we can’t understand…not even with a hearing aid. I cannot hear the high pitch sounds which includes allt he consonants…have you ever tried to read a book with all the consonants missing? There are over 40 million of us in the U.S…I’m an advocate nationwide for them. Write up an instruction booklet…when I bought my car I got an instruction booklet and a phone number where they answer the phone. That would help greatly! I’m really tired of paying you monthly and you don’t put forth the effort needed for me and many others to proceed successfully. Find the need and fulfil that need..that’s the name of the game today. I laid out the need please do something about it so I know what to do. I won’t watch your video’s and you wouldn’t watch one either if it was in a language you don’t know…that’s what it’s like. I’m sure I sound frustrated…I am! But that’s because you ar enot doing anything for those with hearing loss! Change that and you’ll see a huge difference in attitudes. You’re acting like a teacher and a teacher is supposed to meet the needs…all of them..not just the easy ones…I was a professor for 25 years so I know what I’m talking about. You can do that! I’m not the only one out here with that problem of video’s. If you’re familiar with captions on TV…I’m the researcher/teacher who made that happen as we know it today.
Thank you for listening.

I have tried various “programs” over the last few years, with minimal success ($100s of dollars not $1000’s). I think I finally grasp the “big picture”. Much of the stuff being promoted is junk, or a rehash of principles, but is usually short on specifics or actions. I think one must realize that there are many aspects of on-line revenue: To set up a money stream, you need: url, hosting, content / product, capure page, sales page, (actual product), autoresponder, video, payment processor, ie credit cards, fulfillment mechanism, customer support, legal/disclaimer stuff, etc Oh I forgot traffic, but wait, you also need qualified traffic. You do need someone to actually buy your stuff. There are MANY good trainings on the individual aspects of all this, but rarely do you see someone attempt to cover them all, in an integrated way. So, we see “pushbutton” crap published, because people are trying to find a way to cut out all the learning. Or on the on the other extreme, a newbie becomes overwhelmed from trying to understand all the aspects, before actually getting sales. I think each one needs to find some middle ground, where they learn enough to make some money, then invest it back in, and continue to learn and grow. I think success in internet marketing, could be compared to learning to walk as a child. What if the 12 month old tried to walk one day, couldn’t, and tried for a week, then gave up permanently. I am right now a toddler, that can walk a little bit without falling down. I want to be able to win a race sometime in the future, and perhaps win a gold medal (becoming a million dollar earner).
I am working and supporting my foray
into internet marketing.
It is tough, and if I don’t pay my
sites will go down and my
money spent is in vain.
I am on a learning curve and I listen
to the TOP marketers but I am still not
making a cent after 8 months.
But I AM GOING TO MAKE IT
I will find the key [there is always a key]
and then it will all come together
Hi David yes you will make it! Patients and education is required for sure
and I am certain you will nail it!
Thanks for the post!
Mike
I join Gvo looking for the infor I havn’t made wooden penny. I beleive this is cure all for my internet marketing sales. Thanks Gvo
Hi Contella,
Yes you are in the right place for sure. With our live training and all
the marketing tools that we have…I am sure it will help cure many things!
Video is powerful and so is creating a great follow up email series. Both
will help create the know like and trust with your prospects and subscriber
base.
Thanks for the post.
Mike
Hey Guys,
Thanks again for another moment of true encouragement. I’ve learned a lot through the last 2 years and just now starting to see a glimmer of how to work some strategy for traffic on a low budget. I know consistency is the major key to working online. I am so looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us (newbies) to succeed. It will definitely let me know just how well I’m learning and applying what is needed to truly make this happen. Thanks for reassuring all of us that we can do this!
Hi Susan
You sure can do it!! But it is not easy or everyone would do it right?
I only joined three days ago and rapidly went through all the avialable training materials and then wondered, now what? There was not an end to the training.
To say I was frustrated is a HUGE understatement and then the difficulty was magnified when someone from your organization called me and was anything but helpful or kind. I was hoping that he would call back today as I requested multiple times so things might be resolved but alas that has not been the case.
I too am disabled and had to leave my job as the VP of Training for Allstate Ins. I agree with much of what you say in your training and look forward to exactly how to implement the plan you have us begin.
In short, I still have hope this can work. I know I am committed on my part and certainly hope you stay with your promise.
this good but I’m not able to buy anything at the moment but I can I would like also I have no credit cards unfortunately.
Awesome Blog Guys,
I like your hairy face Mike. Now all
you have to believe is that Muscle is
Magic like the guy next to you.
Thanks to GVO Internet Technology and
our GVO back office, we do not have to
spend a lot of money on advertising our
links. If we check our stats daily and see
how many Hits we get. Free advertising produced
the two people I needed to cover the cost of
my Profit Sharing GVO business within 2 months
of Starting over two yrs ago. I believed this
would happen when I saw the GVO products,especially
Easy Video Producer. I knew I would make my business
Free quickly, so I chose the username donwins4free.
In the days before the Internet we had no links,
so I posted my Telephone number in corner shops
etc for Free, The more calls I got the closer I
got to a sign up in my UK MLM £25.00 Biz.
and I made fortune in 1989 which
I invested and still use today.
The same thing happens now.
The more Hits I get in the GVO back office the closer
I get to a sign up. You just need 2 sign ups to
make your $10.00 per month business Free for life.
How can you get frustrated when your business is Free
for life with such Fantastic Products.
This GVO/HTP business has been Fun and Excitement for
me. No Frustration when you make GVO Free. Just
lots and lots of hope and Empowerment.
Success to everyone who have got to Know, Like and
Trust you two guys like I do.
DONWINS4FREE
NOW THERE IS A PERSON WITH AN AMAZING ATTITUDE!!! Thanks Don!!
Now that’s real talk! Thanks for the heads up guys. I’ve been going hard on my first home based business for almost a month. I only get 4 maybe 5 hours of sleep per day trying to find out a good daily system to use for myself. Can you at least show these informational videos once a week to try and speed up our process? Thanks for the post and have a great day!
Thanks so much for those down to earth words of wisdom. I have been getting really frustrated not knowing the jargon, the actual mechanics and the complete overload of information and emails offering god knows what solution! I have been “At It” for about a month now, not a single penny of course! However I am determined to keep at it as I live on a small state pension and need a bit extra income.
Hi Joel and Mike, thanks for the blog. It seems like common sense but to many of us beginners it’s not. So to hear the truth, we can accept that and move forward not looking for an overnight dream to come true. I personally thank you both for the information and the foresight.
I know if the internet marketing is something I want to do or anyone in that case we can with a strong desire and hard work.
Thanks again!
Hi Joel …
Is there a site in Spanish for the Hispanic community? I would like to access your blog but I see that the information is in English. many Thanks

We do have a spanish blog and site…
http://www.gvodirecto.com and the site http://www.hostingyganancias.com/
Excellent Blog for newbies, coming from the heart of two candid and friendly “GURUS”, you guys are awesome!, keep up the good work and thanks for the very needed advice.
Thanks for listening Abel.. we will always be honest
Great, Straight to the point, no hype post. Too many “leaders” unfortunately mislead people looking to start online businesses into believing that it’s a simple point and click process to the big $$$$ and FREEDOM.
I appreciate your honesty and Leadership!
Thanks for making such a wonderful decision, to assist and encouraging us; and for that matter build for us some kind basic online marketing strategies, which will intern help us start our own business.
Elvis..
“thank you” “thank you very much!!” god I have bad humor. I will create some good content blogs for you all
Hi Joel and Mike, thanks for the 2 presentations on the frustrations you’ve encountered during the growth of your internet business. like all the stories I’ve read I too am frustrated as well, I purchased my domain, went through all the GVO Academy “do it yourself video” steps and i’m still unaware what is the exact STEP-BY-STEP process that I can do to know that I am moving towards success in my business. You said there will be a step-by-step post coming soon, I sure hope so. Thanks guys, I won’t give up… :>)
Hi Joel:
I have been following you since you headed up 7-minute Workout. You look like you still workout a lot. Any way I join 7-minute Workout and GVO at the same time. Both sites were taking my money on a monthly bases, but then I had Cancer which put me in the hospital for 6 month so I wasn’t able to keep up either on my payments or my study. Don’t ask me why but both sites eventually canceled my membership. At this point I am totally frustrated and was ready to throw in the towel until I started watching your video Blogs. My main problem now is that after all my bills are paid including the MONSTROUS Hospital Bill that I am still paying my portion on; I have NO MONEY LEFT to look into an on-line business. I am looking into some of these start for FREE business, but have had no luck in any of them. I am NOT a quitter and NEVER have been, but I need some VERY SERIOUS HELP here. I understand that you don’t normally answer your clients personally, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
i dont speak ingles very well.But i cant sell some word.I speak spanish.
I need your direccion!!
Hi Joel&mike….
looking foreword to the next blog thanks Dave
Hola a todos supongo que lo que estais ofreciendo tiene que ser muy bueno ,pero por falta de saber ingles no me entero de nada y por mucho que me miro los videos sigo sin enterarme , lo siento pero esta es mi triste realidad.
Mucha informacion de la que dan en ingles a mi no me sirve.
Atentamente
Jordi Gonzalez
Hi Joel,
I’m not understanding how people on the internet will see my website that I’m promoting, the training videos in the back office does not explain this.
I am with several affiliate companies (my mistake) and have set this up, but I don’t know how to promote it.
Can you help to explain what i need to do?
I love you guys. Your so real!! I am looking forward to the step by step stuff. I have just got into this whole internet marketing world and i am overwhelmed. I am in with MCA, GVO, EN, ICP. Am i trying to do to much to soon as a newbie? Should i be focusing on one thing or not? I have to write daily blogs for EN, place ads and do video’s for MCA and ICP who has the time with kids, work, and hopefully have some down time. I don’t mind hard work but i feel i need step by step learning to guide me through the labyrinth of offers for the next best money generating gimmick and all the different lead generating things i am supposed to just know how to do. I am new to this world of landing pages, squeeze pages, autoresponders…etc.
What would be your advice for me so i don’t feel so overwhelmed? I feel there is just too much to learn and it is hard to know where to start. I see how when you have all the systems up and running how this internet world could make money for people, but whqt should i focus on first.
Thanks for your honesty and your cander.
Louise
I am happy for all of the newbies who will benefit greatly from this blog.
Joel and Mike are two down-to-earth geniuses.
hi joel and mike you 2 are the best i have ever seen .but i have a problem need your help. how can you help me open paypal account and international master card this are the reason behind my delay for success and slowness towards my online success. i actually know you people are the best ,to take me to online success.thanks. okpako.
Hi Joeland Mike.
You guys speak the truth.
There is no get rich quick scheame or business in the world. All businesses takes dedication time and effort.
People should take personnel responsibility for their success and failures. Listen to every marketer and learn from them but make your own decisions. If you do that then only you can blame yourself. Blaming others is a wate of energy and does not get you anywhere.
I am proud to associate with GVO. GVO has a product that anyone can market and best in the industy. You have all the tools and training available for marketing in GVO. Do not fall in one click and 10 click money making schemes. Market your talents or genuine product people want.
It take thousands of clicks and hours of dedication to be a successfull marketer. When you start business you are in 24 hour work schedule but is flexible as you like! Do not forget the rewards are high but you must pay the price. Pay the price and Prize will be yours.
This is a fantastic Blog.
Thanks Joel & Mike
Hi Joel and Mike
I think the backup plan is good advice and should be in place in every endeavor. However my problem is much like mike I don’t know the first thing about computers. I have been trying for a month to monetize my site without success. Although I will continue to try it is no easy task. I am in it now so I have to try and make the best of it. It is different when you have a mentor you can see face to face. There is nothing easy about distant mentors it is the same as distant learning. Distant learning was one of the hardest transition in life for me but I earned a degree and working on my second degree. I realize one thing I am in this alone and it is up to me to make it happen. With that being said I can and I will.
Hey Joel,thanks for this presentation,it is really on time and encouraging not because of GVO but including other places I have tried my hands and almost at the point of killing the dream today after returning from the beach where I went to think.I now know that you people are real.I want to use this opportunity to tell you that many people are really crying and have no one to turn to.Appearing like this from to time to clients will help in minimizing our mistakes.We are newbies.You and Mike thanks again.
Hi Guys
Good video-blog,I always tune in when I get an email from GVO.
I agree with your reply to Dennis who asked you about the long-term viability of your product line.
During the Gold Rush in the Yukon – the people who really made the money were the people who supplied the pick-axes, shovels, food & all other bits and pieces needed by the miners.
Many of the miners never made a red cent and ended up broke.
I think it’s the same with the internet. The companies who are really making the money are the ones supplying hosting, blogging facilites, video facilities etc etc.
Added to that you have the business/networking opportunity and I would say it puts GVO in a very strong position to have a long-term future with steady growth.
Can I ask though – are there any problems with non-US based networkers getting paid directly?
I think that the US usually asks for a form of some sort (can’t remember the number of the form) to be held by the company with the details of the networker – or have I got that wrong?
I am all in with your attitude and I do wanna learn. I know that there is a learning curve on this but I am willing to put my time and soul to it…just please don’t be like many of the other so gurus “You will make money with this” sort of thing…..
Just keep it simple and real please!
Cosmel
We will keep it real ALWAYS 🙂
Hey Joel,
Great advice, but most of the people involved here are grown-ups who should be well aware of that.
I believe that you’ll do us a greater service making the selling of GVO’s services easier to achieve.
I think that the HostThenProfit opportunity is a great idea that could be made a bit more flexible to facilitate its promotion. This would not only help us, but GVO as well.
Say, I buy a HostThenProfit account that has a capacity for 4 accounts. When I get a new client, I can sell him/her one of them as a single unit with clear limits and then offer him/her the possibility to up-grade into a full account, which would give him/her access to the full HostThenProfit extra services.
I just came up with this idea so it would need polishing a bit, but I hope you get my meaning. It would be a transitional account, and it would also be a measurable account that we could offer and that could offer a gentle transition from a simple account into a full HostThenProfit account.
We need easy ways to sell and we will be friends for a long long time.
I know I wont get a reply, but…..
Regards
Hector
HOLA MI NMBRE ES SALVADOR GONZALEZ.
ME GUSTARIA VER EL VIDEO EN ESPANOL. ME INTERESA SU PROPUSTA
LAMENTABLEMENTE NO SE NADA DE INGLES GRACIAS Y ESPERO SU APOYO.
very good video post guys!!!!
Olá Joel
Prefiro escrever em minha língua nativa. Desculpe, mas não domino muito bem o inglês.
Preciso de toda a ajuda possível. Tenho tentado, mas não saio do lugar. Não quero desanimar porque seria muito bom poder trabalhar à vontade na minha própria casa. Há momentos que penso que isso nem é para mim, devido as minhas limitações. Mas se outros conseguiram ganhar dinheiro, certamente eu também conseguirei. Obrigada pelo incentivo.
Just what I needed to hear. Great job guys. Looking forward to your next video blog. I’m trying to get a money making internet business up and running. I am trying to do it on a shoe string budget right now. I know that it won’t happen overnight but a lot of hard work and time will get me there in time. I have tried many different online businesses and like everyone else they don’t work or they don’t have the support in place like they tell you in the beginning. This online business is all new to me a total different terminology and also learning all these new software and what they can do for me eg:Wordpress or C-panel etc. Even these TE’s that I surf don’t tell me exactly how to do or go about branding myself. They have banner ad’s but you got to put in certain information which I don’t understand exactly what the info should be or where I get that info from.
Hi GUYS, I´m beginning to fell a lot better now that I started to see You guys here and at least if I still stuck with all this little videos that I keep watching from You guys is awesome and my wife started to ask if I changed the TV show for the teachers on the GVO since now I am watching you guys all the time trying to learn all this as soon as possible and see if I get hired at least to accompany the two of You on the tonights internet show from GVO. hahahaha!!! nnaaahhh. just joking. Serious, I really enjoy and love all the videos that I see here and I am learning pretty much, although I have to watch some time a couple of times but I really enjoy them and like them pretty much. Thanks Guys and take care..
Felix
Hi Joel I must be the worst long term member you have, been with you for ever used to make a few bucks, but never seem to keep enough people interested in your products, for the life of me I cannot see why people don’t join! the products and opportunities you offer are out of this world.
Have worked for myself all my working life and earned a good living, this Internet thing though is hard to turn a profit. Bought all the main courses since 2003 including The late Rudi’s courses (and up dates) yet making a living wage still eludes me. Now I have retired maybe I can focus on earning and not spending ( spent at leased $30000 on couses not kidding here guys forget every body else just follow Joel & Mike they provide all the tools you will ever need. An after thought here is maybe now I’m retired from my other business I will be able to focus here and crack the code. Follow me at askimmarketing. as always Joel & Mike great blog must work at getting mine up to this standard.
Tony
Since you have that backup plan, I think the next step for you is to do some networking. Lets keep in touch and the next live event I attend perhaps you can go and Ill introduce you to as many big players as I can. Networking and friendships has taken my business to the next level
Joel & Mike,
I’ve been following you guys off and on for over the past year. I’m ready to really get focus and build my business. I’ve been on line long enough to know the importance of Hosting, Capture Pages, Marketing, Video, Training, etc., and GVO offer outstanding tools for a very affordable price. I’ve paid over a hundred dollars monthly for several different companies for the same thing I’m getting from HostThenProfit. You CAN NOT go anywhere online today and get what you guys are offering for less than $10 per month, this is AWESOME!!! Thanks for all you’re doing for the members. We will succeed with your mentorship and guidance. The backoffice is filled with outstanding training tools and excellent trainers. May God continue to Bless both you and your families.
John
God bless you my friend.. keep with us, you will like what is to come if you value our products that much… more importantly you see the value in them which is the first step
Thanks so much for being so honest it is hard to find this online!!
It really gives me hope Thanks again 😎
A while ago I paid an amount of money
To an individual or group that promised to show
Me how to make money by posting links
On Google and or other sites that wanted to
Promote their businesses it was difficult to understand how to do this
and although I ( and my wife ) tied and tried we failed to understand how
Any of this works. Also if I take a look at the spam that
Comes in from junk mail I’m deluged by different people
Basically offering similar links to the same so
Called money making sites….. I feel disillusioned
and feel that most of these people are involved in some
Sort of pyramid selling disguised as something
Wonderful …which in some countries amounts
To fraud……

Pls get into our academy in the members area, it is free and the coaches are TOP notch!!
just need some help anyone direction which way to go i have signup in several of gvo program
Hello Joel & Mike,
It took me 2 years of effort and then I started earning some money online. There is a learning curve online just as there is in any new profession offline. Keep up the great work and I am excited about offering hosting to all kinds of customers. There are packages in GVO for brand new folks as well as people like me with 6 domains.
Danielle
I can see your income increasing steadily,…. KUDOS
Hi Joel,
I tried your 7days trial offer and actually signed-up with the paid monthly fees of about 10usd but only lasted for 1 month and everything went up in smokes for me.
My problem as a “Newbie” was simply a case of not really knowing how to start, what to do next, what kind of step-by-step guidelines to follow and the list goes on and on and on …………
And I also noticed after immediately getting involved with GVO Group, there was really “No Direct Communication” that was ever possible with anyone including yourselves via the email.
So I would really like to know now, how are you going to offer me all of the above if I were to continue with the GVO Group once again, this time around ???
Kind Regards,
Phil
Hi Phil
Well we have live chat, our phone number and helpdesk right on our main site at http://www.gogvo.com so not sure why you said it is hard to get in communication with us? We also have the GVOacademy in the members area where some of the finest coaches on the planet take you by the hand and walk you though on how to make your first dollar online with our systems.
Are you sure you really put some effort in contacting us?
I am a retiree, a danish citizen living in Thailand as my wife is from here, i just heard the blog and what is being told is compleately right, i have short time ago began to think about make money online but it hasn’t yet been more than that.
The pension i get is not very large but i am trying to save as much as i can in order to try to make a little extra money, and together with my pension it must be possible to have some more to spend.
Hey Guys…
Great blog. As for me, I am in this for the “long haul.” Being an older person and gaining wisdom throughout the tears I knew from the beginning this would take a lot of work on my part. I also knew that there was plenty of money to be made in Internet Marketing… it all comes down to finding the cright mentors.
Likewise, I knew it was never going to be done in 30 or 60 days time (at least nothing significant). I had already mentally prepared myself for that. Going forward, I have taken several big steps.
One of the steps was to hook-up with just 1 or 2 successful Internet Markets and eliminate all the “gurus.” GVO is one of those IM. I am in the process of transferring a couple of other websites that I have to GVO. I want to keep all my hosting and auto-responder under one roof.
Next step is to try and get traffic to my websites; that is probably my biggest issue right now. In the mean time, I am learning more about web development and WordPress. I keep myself very busy. I am on the computer about 8-10 hours per day.
If you have valuable information on “list building” and “traffic” please let me in on it. Thanks.
Terrence Daniels (A future Internet Marketer Millionaire)
Terrance,
Just on your words alone you definately have learned enough to get started in the income side. Put up a good lead funnel, make sure it converts. About the best I ahve seen is about a 30% optin rate, although 10% is good too.
I will be covering traffic sources soon as I am testing tons of them now
Joel,
Thanks for the reply. Could you explain exactly what a “Lead Funnel” is and how to put one on my website.
Even though I have heard the term “Lead Funnel” the individuals from whom I have heard the term “from” never really explain what it was and how to go about putting a Lead Funnel site.
Is it some kind of “offer”? If so, could you please explain the types of offers that would be best.
I feel this may be a basic question but if I am going to succeed I want to be sure I get it right. Thanks.
Terrence Daniels
Terrance
Google is your best friend, if you google “What is a proper sales funnel” or “what is a proper lead funnel” you can get thousands of great info on funnels
I remember when i made my first $115 with click bank, that was in a month. It felt just fantastic even though i spent hundreds of dollars learning how to make money online. My goal in the next few months will hopefully sky rocket my profits.
Just wanted to say, never give up, learn the information by heart and then go to the next step and do the same.
To Joel and Mike , great post like your honest remarks
thanks guys
Frank
Joel, MIke,
I’ve been using GVO conference for almost 2 years – it is an excellent product and the support is equally good – I am purely a product user – not promoting the product. I’m eager to understand “Host then Profits” and would expect it to be a first class offering to bring to my business network. Your candour in these blogs is so welcomed.
Thanks again – look forward to more blogs
Rgds,
CK
Hi CK
HTP is exactly what it says on the sales page, hosting combined with an autoresponder, video streaming service, and a conference room all for less than $10 a month. It is an amazing deal and we pay out up to an unheard of 300% commissions on month one and residual after that too
Thanks Joel for your reply. I’ll be looking into HTP
Rgds,
CK
Hi, Thanks for the words of encouragement, I too am a Plug in Profits student and there are just important key things that are probably there,but I’m just not getting it at the moment, just like the first time you sat a computer it took hours to do a simple task and then the light bulb came on and you hit a key and wonder why it took you so long to get it.
So I have invested in many mentors and will keep plugging into your blogs until someone turns the light bulb on.
Thank you, Thank you look forward to all you have to share.
Kathleen
Keep up that amazing attitude, you will we successful. There are some people on here that say things like “I dont have time to watch your blog” pls provide me a refund. GOD.. if people don’t have time, they will NEVER have the time and never see success.
I run a staff of 100 people and I still find time on a daily basis to educate myself further as education never stops EVER 🙂 Kathleen you have a winning attitude the light WILL go on I promise!
I`ve been at this since January 2012,had my own online gift store,started affiliate marketing and paid out alot of money and no return on my investments.Only using my husbands limited income,he is also sating I am wasting my time and throwing our money down the toilet.Well I am stubborn and many arguments later,I eold him that I will NOT give up and quit.Thank You both for all the training and all your help.I now know I will Make it.
Hi Guys and thanks
I understand exactly what you are saying and am prepared for that. My main issue at present is that I have done as many of the things as I can within the constraints of my financial resources. But I am being let down by people who protest that they are there to help. I have my site, I joined the “tycoon ” programme with 5MM and content and good content is being delivered regularly to the site. Unfortunately the site does not hyperlink to any of the affiliate or supplier pages, it merely refers them back into the site. I have worked hard to get some 40000 hits to the site but once they get there, there is nowhere for them to go which is unproductive and unprofessional. 5MM protest that this will he sorted but to date nothing appears to be happening. Also until the site starts to produce I am unable to fully utilise all of the income streams set up with the 5 minute monopoly system. in saying that let me say that support at GVO has always been good. But %mm are not so good and I believe that they are making both me and GVO appear somewhat inept
that is not good management or indeed good marketing.
Regards
MIke

Too bad you are working so hard in the hamster wheel and J.O.B we would love to keep you. Afterall where else can yous tart a real business for less than $10 a month?
Very true, been there and done that.. Before i bought a lot of product from online and did not work out, they said $520-%2450 everyday and other product said make $5K+ a day or $250K+ every month or $120K on 90days but doesn’t work out and cost me almost $4k for all products, But there 1 thing the product i bought, it did work out and took me few months to earn a $,, Luckily i didn’t quit my job being trucker, cos i thought was expecting to earn $5K+ every or $250+ monthly from online.
IT TOOK MONTHS TO EARN $$ or KEEP LOSING UR MONEY…
P.S. STICK to your normal job guys
I am one of those that is NOT trusting and NOT sure what to do next. I have paid my money to GVO. So now I very much look forward to your next blog on how to get started step by step. I have my backup plan, but I really need to get this internet business started ASAP to relieve my mistrust of your product and start making some money.
Thanks again.
Hi Joel & Mike,
You said it spot on. Everyone of us needs a backup plan especially in today’s economy where everything s so uncertain.
When I first started, I was told that you do not necessary need to spend money to operate a business online. This seems so true at that time when I know very litter about Internet and its business. So with this info, it seems that this is the best way to start an alternative stream of income. But as I move along, i face many online gurus selling ebooks and software that promises huge income quickly. It comes to a point where I get information overload. It becomes so confusing as I can’t tell the difference between genuine information and crap stuff.
To be on fast track, a mentor is really necessary. We cannot afford to waste time experimenting it by ourselves. The Internet moves so quickly that there is no room for experimentalist. I see operating a business online is no child play. It is serious business and needs serious decision. My dream is to be able to replace my 9 – 5 job with the Internet alternative. But this takes time.
Look forward to you next blog post.
William Kho
wonderful video..
Your words are perfect.. NEED Back UP Plan Obviously
EXCITEMENT IS Good BUT ALSO NEED BACK UP INCOME to Grow Your Actual Business.

Hi Joel,
I just join GVO last month and just completed a expensive internet course, I hope to learn more and after reading all the above comments Im quite scared but will not give up its like a maze gotta figure out how to go thru it step by step and I hope you can give some guidance a long the way.
Thank in advance
David
David
DO not let ius scare you are our cost is less than $10.00, you can do it, just keep a realistic time frame
Peux tu nous présenter ton propre plan de sauvegarde Joel ?
Thanks guys. I’m encouraged by your honesty.
I’m in partnership with someone. I manage the site but have been working under immense stress because i don’t have a job alongside other challenges and it’s been difficult for me to focus. However as i said earlier i am highly encouraged and will be willing to take all your advises onboard.
Many thanks guys.
Hi Joel and Mike!
I just want to start off by saying that thank you for a great opportunity to make money from home! I have a 2 year old daughter and I would love to be able to work from home. I am also getting readythe to move back toto my homeplans town andand as ofof right nowby i dohave not have a job back there… But to tell you the truth I am so confused on what I need to do…. and I am straying to get real frustrated. How long does it take before I would start making money? I know and understand that I will not make money over night. Can you please help me?
Thanks,
Jamie
Hello Joel and Mike!
I want to strat off by saying that thank you for a great opportunity to make money from home !
But to tell you the truth I am so confused on what I am supposed to be oing to start making money… can you help me please?
Thanks,
Jamie
Hi Joel and Mike,
Thanks for the personal info… from a humble beginning.
Everything takes time to take effect. I am encouraged to learn from you guys that one needs back-up plan before starting a venture!
I am still learning and has not reached there yet, but believe that one day I will be there!
I thank you guys,
Charles
Thanks for the info. I almost gave up on online posts coz of low traffice for the last 3 months.
Joel,
thanks for the information.
I almost gave up on online business coz of very low traffic in the last three months.
Regards
Hello Joel and Mike, It is refreshing to find someone to honestly explain the the nuances of starting an online business. This is my first visit to you blog and appreciate what you are doing. I will be going back to watch the last one. Since I am just starting over again with what I believe the right training this time, I will be looking for all the advise I can muster.
Looking forward to more of the same.
If you believe it you can achieve it thru hard work,persistence and patience.
Thanks again guys
Great stuff so true, however i would like some small amounts just to show encouragement.
My back up is a tree business which is why I am trying to learn new ways of income. The tree business is loaded with wannabe’s and is limited as superman only exists in cartoons! So I’m like several, I’m into several things that so far, just cost me money. I truly believe that it would be far fetched to think all are liars and no money can be made, so I’m in like Flynn. I found a cheap learning tool in another program that is laying a foundation and I canceled some that I found only served the elite. I’m technically challenged to say the least but can learn and have learned some in the week or two of participating. Anyway I don’t have to get rich, it would be great but my goal is to replace my physically demanding career with adequate solution. I still must learn to turn profit asap and can’t wait until I hear ching ching lol.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the post, its guys like you that make this business such fun.I am just in the process of starting my first online business helping individuals and small businesses leverage the power of the internet to increase their income.I have tried this before and im ashamed to say I did quit because I got myself into such a state both financially & physically that I had to stop for my own health. Am now over all that and ready to get going again this time things WILL be different. I have my mentor, I am a member of Bill & Eric’s Job Crusher program and I have the right tools (host then profit). My back up is my 9-5 job and goal is to quit and become full time by March 2013.
Thanks for all the great tools you guys provide through GVO.
Regards
Julian
Hello Joel and Mike,
This is my second attempt to start an internet business. The first was a total failure and cost me an arm and leg (a few back bones too).
I had no grand expectations when I joined GVO and knew it would not be an overnight fix to financial issues. I work full time, my husband also works full time, and truthfully love my current job (the pay sucks though). I joined GVO to generate extra money to provide my children and 5 grandchildren a little more security.
Although I did some research on your company and read all the reviews I was still a little skeptical. But, I joined anyway with my fingers crossed. I won’t lie to you, I’m pretty scared about this whole thing. Did I make a mistake joining? I don’t really think so, but previous experience has me a little gun shy as they use to say.
Knowing that there are people available to help and guide me is very comforting. Thank you for your encouragement, it is greatly appreciated.
Nancy
quite interesting and informative, thanks, keep up the good job
Dear Joel and Mike:
Good karma goes to people who are really true in helping other people and not just trying to rip them off. May God bless you more in helping many newbies like me.
1Love you guys & thanks for all you do! You are shooting straight with the sound advice to keep a backup plan when first starting with HTP… any worthwhile business startup requires a learning curve. As my sponsors Deb Lane & Steph Remers always say: Just hang in there & listen up, attend Academy classes & above all practice by putting the tools here to good use! Before you know it, you will understand the valuable savings with GVO & how everything works together. Then streamline your own customized system to see that income (which in most cases is Residual & grows)… Thanks again my heroes of GVO!
Hi Joel & Mike,
Awesome post and valuable information. I myself believed that making money online was going to be easy and all I had to do was push a couple of buttons and money would come flooding into my paypal account overnight and then I could spend the rest of my time lazing on the beach sipping long island ice teas while some dusky maiden rubs sun cream on my tanned body 🙂
Why did I believe that? am I stupid? no not stupid naive maybe, but not stupid (well not all the time anyway lol)
The main reason I believed it was because that’s what the sales pages and so called experts were telling me, they made it look so believable, you know all those psychological triggers and convincing images of clickbank accounts.My point is it’s hardly surprising some of us newbies believe its so easy cos there are so many unethical scum bags willing to take our hard earned money in return for zip, nada in the way of proven actionable content.Thankfully I have now discovered that there are some good guys like yourselves who actually REALLY REALLY do want to help us become successful internet entrepreneurs.For that I say thank you from the bottom of my heart.I have been trying to mmo for 2 years and whilst the majority of my failures have been 100% my fault i.e suffering from BSOD (Bright Shiny Object Disorder) the hypey bs sales pages do have a certain amount to do with it.It’s not all bad news though I have learned what not to do lol. I have given myself the goal of making enough money to replace my job income by March next year I have the mentorship i.e the training in GVO as well as Bill & Eric’s excellent JobCrusher programme, so I know im going to succeed with my goal.
Anyway think i’ve gabbled on long enough just want to say thanks to both of you for being one of the good guys.
Keep up the great work
All the best
Julian
I have rallied around for a while now, and I no now that the autopilot thing Isn’t going to help me. I mean, is about time for me to focus on learning one thing at a time. Please, I am reformable and teachable now.
Thanks for the post. I am still a newbie an struggling to find the best affordable plan to boost my income online, with the hope that one day it will substitute my day job and finally achive finantial freedom working from home.
Hi team.
Thanks for your honesty. I have been in sales and marketinf for 25 years but am very new to online marketing. Understand that things take time and a process.
I am working through your videos and have come to a bit of a void. I watched the Web Host Manager video and at the end it said that there is another video in the process.
Can you let me know where this is so that I can continue setting up the system?
Regards
Ian

Hi I would like to say thanks you for encourage and I do really needs help and I am hope that someone can able to communication to me about webpages and others things because I do not know how or what to do 🙁 and I am still working on. I am new by the way. I am really looking forward to hear from you guys. 🙂
Hello Joel,
I am so glad that I can write down my problems(not really very big). I also lost my job 2 years ago and from then trying the internet. O, so by the way, I was a Private Forensic Investigator for 30 years, I live in South Africa and cannot get another job because of a thing they call here “Affirmative Action”. I do not worry so much, and are willing to work very hard to make ends meet.
I also made a lot of mistakes, spent a lot of money on “Guru Products” which I hope would work, but nothing did.
What I want to know from you is, as a back up plan, can I use my website, or I can buy another domain name, to promote Affiliate Products
from Click Bank or Amazon, while advertising and promoting what I have at the moment as well.
I would like to hear from you soon.
Thanking You

Joe & Mike,
Could you provide some good swipe emails for GVO HTP and MEETCheap so that everyone can set up in their prospects. I see no swipe emails in HTP Affiliate accounts to promote.
Thanks

Excellent video, I totally agree with the content you put out. It does take time and people do, like Mike did; have to learn new skills and apply them.
Focus and action are also essential, getting distracted is a success killer, for sure!
I’ve been a web developer and most recently mobile site, app and reputation management in the offline market. I got sick last year and couldn’t work anymore so I started learning more about Internet Marketing. After a year, and a few thousand dollars in useless product (well not totally useless I did learn stuff along the way) this is the first time anyone has ever told the truth. Knowing to use a computer well, even being technical, even with over 20 years of sales experience and marketing didn’t help. I finally think I figured something out. It’s going to take time, even for a tech, to convert offline and web skills to internet marketing. It’s one thing to build a site for someone, completely another to make that website make money. Thanks guys for the truth…and seriously, training, hosting,autoresponder and video and and and for $9.99 a month is amazing! Just my autoresponder was #20 a month! I’m pumped!
Joel, on your testimony page, many of the links under people’s testimonies do not work. Just thought i’d let you know. Makes me think maybe they dropped out.
Hi guys!!
I started with MLSP a few days ago and was really pumped up. Now i came to the point where I realize that I still have to invest so much to start working correctly. I watched the PURE LEVERAGE video and think it´s a great integrated- all in one system that´s quiet affordable. What do I loose when quitting with MLSP and joining Pure Leverage?
Thanks
William

MLSP is a good system but I am not 100% up to par on all they offer so Im not sure what you will be losing sorry 🙁 I know the owners well there and they provide AMAZING products
Hi,
I see that most folks have a 9 to 5 job or no job and struggling.
At the same time trying to fine the golden goose or magic pill.
I was not going to post but I just wanted to give some inspiration
to the people who has.
So here goes I am a over the road truck driver,A one truck self
employed getting my own loads.doing the books taking care of this on
my own plus I am on a schedule to move freight.I also have regulations
to go by drivers can only drive 10hrs then need to park it (rest,sleep)
I shower eat see whats up on Pure Leverage for two hrs then sleep.
YES I do make good money but freedom most of my time is centered
around semi truck. It took me 10 years to go from company truck driver
to a one truck company.I could expand but a trucking company might as
well be a job it is a 24 hr day. My story here is your own business
starts from the bottom step and start walking up one at a time.
A internet is a business and I look at it as my trucking company
TIME,WORK,and always keep hammering at the boulder one day it will
be a small stone.HOPE this helps on Rome was not build in a day and
my other MINDSET is planet earth done in 7days they say.
sorta like the turtle and hare children story. The turtle took it
slow while the hare was messing around with the hare.guess who won the race the turtle who took it at a slow pace
Couldn’t be clearer than this! Thanks guys.
