A Great Start To The Year!

January 7th, 2007

Well the first few days of the year have certainly been busy! The major focus has been on getting the new site for GenMates ready to go! We had a target of being in a position to switch by 10th January 2007 and we achived ahaed of target by being ready to go on 6th January 2007! You can join the flood of other people joining us at GenMates - Your Genealogy Centre.

Talking of Genealogy! I have been in discussion in the last week with a leading figure in the UK Genealogy Community and out of that has been born a sit which is hopefully going to help quite a few people when it launches on 15th February 2007! The internet has opened up the world of genealogy in ways which could not have been envisaged even a few short years ago.

However, all the information that is available is leaving more and more people confused and asking questions about their findings as the thousands of questions that are posed in forums demonstrates. There is a massive opportunity for professional and passionate amateur genealogists on the internet but many of them say that they don’t know where to start. Hopefully Helping The Genealogy Experts will help them!

There seems to be an assumption, in some quarters, that Internet Marketing products can only be sold to Internet Marketers. Over dinner we were talking about websites and one of our guests mentioned that they had a site about their passion for cats which receives thousands of visitors each day. I commented that it must be earning them a nice sum each month. At that point I was met with a blank stare and a “how do you mean?” They were completely unaware of Adsense and Affiliate Marketing and indeed commented “oh that’s only for those work at home types isn’t it?” Over the last few days, I have asked a couple of other people who I know have very successful sites in areas that they are passionate about and have been met with fairly similar responses. None of these are making money from their sites!

I originally created a short report on Adsense at Adsense Success for what I would have thought of as Internet Marketer types. However, my focus with it has changed in the last day or so. “Cat Owner with a website? How would you like to cover the costs of your income and make some additional funds?” - you get the idea I hope? Grab a copy fot he report for yourself if you have a website and are not making the most of it!

We have a number of exciting developments planned in the coming year as I have mentioned in previous posts. The next big one on the horizon is my Group Coaching site for Internet Marketers who want to lift their activity to the next level! That will launch on 1st February 2007.

Finally returning to Genealogy. Our Genealogy Search Center is getting set to launch this week and I will bring you up to date next week.
