Sean Rasmussen – Year of the Affiliate

I knew there was a very good reason I liked Sean Rasmussen from the moment I met him back in 2005.

Having bought a product from him online, he immediately contacted me and offered me support which was one, very unusual, or so I thought from having bought various products online prior to this one and never hearing boo from the vendor, and two, he actually called me on the phone from the other side of the country.

Not only did I immediately feel privileged by receiving the call, I also thought this guy is genuine and cares for his customers. Over the last four years I have been blessed to feel like family having met his beautiful wife Cherie and their two sons Timothy and James.

A couple of months ago, a small group of us ventured over to the Western state to enjoy their hospitality for a team celebration and I can tell you, it felt like a family reunion.

10 Scholarhips to the YOTA Private Internet Marketing Forum

Sean Rasmussen has announced today that he has given away 10 Scholarships to his YOTA private Internet Marketing Forum valued at $24,000 which shows just how generous and caring a man he is. Having received over 400 applications over the weekend, he promised only 3 full time scholarships for the period of 12 months with full access to his team of moderators where these lucky winners will be personally mentored by Sean.

The overwhelming reply for scholarships made him decide to give away 10 full time scholarships instead. I don’t know about you but I feel like celebrating and dancing today. I’ve provided a track you get you Pumped so join me.

You need only take a look at the public Facebook fan page for YOTA Internet Marketing Forum to see the response for yourselves.

I want to say a big Thank You to Sean for all his support and mentoring over the years which has enabled me to do what I love to do and that is Turn my Passion into Dollars. I know the members of the forum will benefit greatly under his mentoring too.

Head on over to the Year of the Affiliate blog and watch the series of free videos Sean has made to get you up and running with a new website and how to get started with affiliate marketing even if you don’t have a website. Enjoy!

WordPress

Today I woke up and decided angesbiz dot com needed an upgrade and face-lift. Since I began writing here 4 years ago, Buzzing with Ange has had a few makeovers and because WordPress keep upgrading and Social Media is becoming more an integral part of bloggers tools, changes are imminent. So today I took the plunge and had a spring cleaning day.

Web Business

Ange Recchia

As a blogger, I’m always on the lookout at how technology and this medium is improving. Running a web business from home as an Internet Marketer, I have found there are too many options of how to blog, what to blog about as well as affiliate marketing, which products to sell and the list goes on.

The resources we have at our fingertips are infinite. The trick is to find the right thing for you. I bet you hear it over and over again how people get drawn into handing over lots of cash to learn how to make money online. You only have to search for online business or make money online and Google will return millions of search items.

The trick is to find what you are passionate about. Find the thing you love to do and start blogging about that.

Not to long ago I wrote how to follow your passion and the money will follow. Your own web business could be just around the corner.

New Look for Angesbiz

It will take me a couple of days to play around and get this theme working properly and re-adding my sidebar and blogroll. I hope you don’t mind the changes too much. Please let me know how you find it and if you think it could improve. Whether or not you like it and whether it fits with my message. I could be inviting a whole other changeover if I am not careful. Have fun exploring!

Well this was a first for me and once I settled in, I didn’t want to stop talking. I want to say a big thank you for those of you who took time out and dialed in to listen live. If you missed the interview, George Kedourie has posted it on his site in mp3 format.

This is a list of some online free resources that I use which I mentioned in the interview:

StumbleUpon Toolbar for sending pages to my network of friends when I want to share something with them. Please note that you have to be registered with SU in order to use it. It is also available in IE browser here.

Strip Generator for creating comic strips which are fun to use to add into a post.

Thirty Day Challenge where I met George Kedourie and teaches about how to get free traffic to your blog.

TaggZilla dot com is a follow on from the Thirty Day Challenge and a fantastic resource site for support in with your Internet Marketing.

Off2Trade dot com is a site which you can surf to find free online resources to help your internet experience which have helped me streamline my time online.

HeadSpace2 is a great wordpress plugin for meta-tag generators making it easier to get search traffic for individual posts.

CommentLuv wordpress plugin as it parses the commenter’s latest post from their blog.

PodClass which is a Facebook application for running classes.

Camtasia Studio 3 free download to enable the making of tutorials or videos.

I Want Sandy is a virtual secretary.

Jott – I learned about this from Pearl over at Fresh Perspectives which sounds really great, however it is not available in Australia yet! I’m sure it will help some of you so I wanted to list it here.

I am sure you will all find something useful in this list so let me know what you think of them.

Thanks again to George Kedourie for suggesting this interview.

Happy New Year to all and to kick it off, I have been asked for an interview from George Kedourie who I came across during the Thirty Day Challenge which I was nicely surprised about.

Among some of the questions he wants to ask me are:

• what I did before I entered cyberspace
• how I got started on the Internet
• what I would never do again in relation to Internet Marketing
• what tips do I have for anyone starting out

This interview is open to everyone and will take place on January 2nd at 5pm EST.

This translates to:

• January 3rd 9am on the East Coast of Australia
