Day 1 (b) - Week 1 Training

As I logged into this website, it immediately told me to “click here” to get started with very easy to follow instructions. There was a welcome letter from that guy who was on the earlier video on the My Internet Payday signup page, founder Joel Comm, who said to immediately get started with Week 1 training. There was a .PDF to print out that was a guide to Week 1's training. Print this out and use at a blueprint, map or even a checklist if you will, on all the tasks that you will need to do in week 1.

Then, following this .PDF, there was a list of videos that I was to watch, in order, 1 by one. So, I grabbed a set of head phones and a note book and started on this series of videos.

The 1st videos were motivational. They went over the basic idea of what the program was about, Listing Google ads on the internet, and getting internet traffic to see and click on these links. Google then pays you for the lead. Affiliate link marketing. I think we all know that basic idea. However, the next few videos went into detail on how to build a simple blog, since many of us don't have our own website or even know how to build one.

The next set of videos talked about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and how to find keyword trends. How to get your blog or web site to the top of the search engines list. The next set of videos proceeded to talk about offsite link building. Creating articles and press releases on other sites that contain your link to your blog. This helps the SEO.

After the videos were completed, you were reminded to...TAKE ACTION!

• Brain storm and find a niche, hobby, talent or interest you want to create a blog about (what better of a blog to start, but a My Internet Payday Review blog)
• Create a blog
• Start entering "quality content" into the blog
• Create a few Offsite links

So, I invested the next (6) hours of my day and set up a blog, (2) offsite link articles, and sent my new blog into Google for review in order to get approved for their advertising program, AdSense.

This was the end of Week 1 Training. I would not have access to Week 2 Training until next week Tuesday (7 days). Ah Ha! This is where they get you. Your free (7) day trial gets your taste buds going and if you go to Week 2 Training, you by default pay the $78.64 for the month.

I looked at the entire training schedule (which they layout very nice). It was a (13) week schedule. I figured that was approximately (3) months. I was actually quite pleased at the content of Week 1 training and the absolute ease of navigation and the STEP-BY-STEP training approach this site takes. SO, (3) month at $78.64/month, would be a worst case $235.92 investment in my education of internet marketing.

I already could use what I learned in Week 1 training for marketing in my everyday job (Mortgage Professional). So, the initial dollar was well spent :)!!! Hmmm, my wife and I have a ton of books lying around the house that we had purchased and read at one time for either education or enjoyment. These books were at least $12 each, totaling a truck load of money we have already spent. My wife and I have college loans that are still far from being paid off. The course seems to be VERY structured. Well......let’s do it.

I will venture into Week 2, 3, and4 and reevaluate at the end of Month 1. The $78.64 is taken out every (30) days from the day you join. Therefore, I have until WED June 3rd to decide if I want to continue. I will play it safe and reevaluate on SUN May 31, 2009. This will give me 4 weeks of training and I should be able to see if I have made any profit and see any further value. As well as, write a My Internet Payday Review.

I hope the investment pays for itself either by Google, or by making additional sales in my day job. We shall see.
