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!

This article appeared on Easter Sunday 2009 in the News Ltd Group National papers.

The last almost 3 years online and what I have learned in that time is one obvious reason. My mentor the Aussie Internet Marketer, Sean Rasmussen (who is basking in the Vanuatu sun as I write this) had a big role to play.

Since announcing a New Product Launch here a few months back, I have been following the Smart Systems Geeky course. Geeky because it’s online and I am, after-all, a Geek Girl Blogger LOL… and note the geeky smile … gasp!

Following a press release, journalist Lorna Knowles from News Ltd called to ask me some questions about my online ventures. Who would give up a chance to be in the National papers I ask you. We had to organise a time for the photographer to come around and take some photos of me. Next came the questions.

Norm from the Herald Sun Newspaper

Lorna asked me about what I do online and so I told her about my various sites and blogs I author, my JV opportunites and Affiliate Marketing. I also do some Social Media and SEO coaching for private clients.  All these efforts combined are my source of income. If you’d like to hire me for your business, use the contact form here with Coaching in the subject line.

Smart Systems and Geekversity

Shaun Stenning and Sean Rasmussen now travel around Australia almost every weekend (aside from Tasmania and the Northern Territory) and due to hit the UK in June, with a two day condensed version of the Geekversity course. What you will learn in this two day event:

FIND a subject you are passionate about as there is more of a chance you will stick with it.

RESEARCH whether it’s a viable business option.

BUILD the website and learn the best ways to generate income.

LEARN how to generate traffic to your site, and

START making money.

Their gags are something else. You have to be there to know what I mean. So how do I get there, Ange…

If you go to Smart Systems and/or Geekversity choose the dates which suit and enter the code AngeToldMe – I have been able to organise some scholarship tickets for the first 100 64 43 27 people to register.

At this stage, I will be at the Melbourne event on the 9th and 10th of May and the following weekend in Sydney on the 16th and 17th of May if you would like to meet me in person.

Remember to also bring your friends along as it’s fun to work on this with someone you know.

I look forward to seeing more geeks out there
