I have tried to use Google Analytics before but was blown away at what appeared to be a complicated system of statistics and mumbo jumbo. So today I was pleased to see the live training topic for today’s members only training call was on using Google Analytics.

I only attended the first half of the live training and plan to download and watch the second half when it is offered in the back office, which normally takes a day or so. This will give me time to get all my sites registered and the tracking code in place to start gathering statistics. When the training module is available I will be ready to move into the second part of the training.

The second half of today’s training covered a more in depth look at the statistics, what they mean and how to effectively apply the knowledge gained for better traffic and conversion control. Also mentioned were some of the leading sites covering Google Analytic usage topics with demonstration videos and an introduction to the leaders in the field themselves.

While I look forward to learning how to use this powerhouse marketing tool, I am intimidated by the learning curve at the same time. I would have kept putting this off if it wasn’t for the live training session today.

My sites are now set up to gather statistics. It is super easy to add the Analytics tracking code to a webpage or website. The code can track single landing page sites or full blown websites with thousands of pages.

I should be ashamed that I do not already have a properly working traffic analyzer on my websites. I went to college for marketing and know the importance of statistics in marketing. I guess this was my wake up call to start treating my home business as a real business and apply a little learning to the efforts.

Although it is an area I am a bit uncomfortable in, I am grateful to have access to some of the most powerful training and mentoring support online to help me figure it all out.

I’ve lost a ton of money with Pay Per Click Advertising over the years. I’m not alone. Many seasoned marketers have found their claim to fame with PPC while others have lost their pants. I’ve have seen a little of both. I made money early in the game and as the field changed and I began to loose money (quickly) I gave up the battle to the deep pocketed guru’s willing to pay more per click.

Farther down the road I choose to invest in some learning materials. I bought several “how to” adword guides, courses  and began sinking a ton of money into trying to learn how to compete in the PPC game. Finally, frustration sank in and I pulled out of the PPC game for a second time and thought it would be my last.

Until … I recently got word that Big Ticket to Wealth has started training on PPC basics. The first training module sounds great. Here is the write up directly from my invitation …

What Will You Learn In Our Pay Per Click (PPC) Basics?

This Is A Critical Module To Listen To - Especially The 2nd Half Of The Call!

Every new person needs to listen to this call. Whether you have money to spend on marketing - or not - whether you intend to totally focus on the FREE marketing methods or not, there is a lot of ‘crossover’ information that applies to the ‘free marketing methods’ (natural SEO). We also talk both about the dangers in internet marketing for new people who want to jump into PPC & other ‘paid marketing methods’ BEFORE they are not ready - but we also talk about the wonderful opportunities that are waiting for the new person if they treat this business like a business provided they commit to the simple learning curve.

We give you the simple secrets of reaching success by understanding and mastering the simple learning curve in this business. We talk about the balance of ‘high expectations’ versus ‘income producing activities’ that can absolutely give you what you dream about. We also talk about HOW to navigate & understand the new terminology you will encounter in this business - and how to get immediate, relevant answers to your pressing questions 24/7 while you are embracing your new business with us. We touch on the danger of new people who are stuck in the ‘Always Getting Ready To Get Ready’ trap!

So, please - take the time to listen to this audio.

WOW .. I wish I would have had this information before I lost so much money. Well, I can’t be sitting here talking about it all day! This call has been added to the back office and is waiting on me now.

These people will call you from a link they grab online or when you just put up your site.  They will continue to call and call as new sales people are hired, they comb the internet and prey upon people’s dreams and aspirations.  They will tell you your site does not come up, they will tell you they can get you on the first page of the search engine under competitive listings such as “Make Money Online”

BEWARE THEY ARE FRAUD!  They have taken people I know for amounts of $1500-$4000 with false promises and no refunds.  They are a Nevada Corporation which basically makes it impossible to penetrate the shield of the corporation and go after them for your losses.  DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR TIME, HANG UP ON THEM, BE RUDE, TELL THEM TO GO FLY A KITE AND DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO SUCKER YOU INTO THEIR DEMO THAT MAKES IT APPEAR LIKE YOU CAN TRUST THEM YOU CANNOT!!!!

More and more people are looking for ways to earn extra income today; as living expenses rise and budgets are stretched thin.  Many choose self-employment and home business ventures as alternatives to the corporate grind. Some enjoy newfound freedoms and control that a successful home-based business delivers while others try and fail.  A worse fate still is the many great small business ideas that are dreamed of yet never explored.

Several years ago, I realized I was in financial trouble and going downhill quickly.  I was over my head in debt and unable to afford moving out of the severely depressed economic area where I lived.  As a young, single mother, I soon realized it was costing me around $12 a day, after travel expenses and babysitting fees, to work the minimum wage jobs in the local area.  I was headed deeper in debt doing what everyone had always told me was the “right” thing to do: get a job and work hard every day for someone else!

I sat at my kitchen table with my weekly paycheck, calculator and notebook and saw the numbers before me in black and white. The “right” thing wasn’t working; slaving at the local burger joint waiting for a better job to open up was not going to fix the problem.  I decided to learn more about self-employment.  It was a turning point that brought me down the path to where I am today.

I gave you a little about my background to demonstrate I know where many of you are coming from. Many others are experiencing the same financial dilemma of dead-end jobs and growing debt today that I experienced then.

Today, I’m a marketing consultant for a new online home-based business operating on a shoestring budget. I researched many online businesses before settling in on this one.

With all of that said, I encourage you to allow yourself to explore your home-based business dreams. I would, however, offer you some key elements to consider that I learned the hard way.

1. Don’t try to learn everything you need to know before you decide to begin. While research and knowledge are important to success, too much will overwhelm you and paralyze you with information overload.

2. Don’t think there is a magic program for sale out there that produces overnight wealth without putting in some serious effort.

3. Don’t think that you can figure it all out and manage it all on your own! BIG no no. A mentor and team are necessary for your learning process and long term business survival.

Number three is key.  Had I understood that one and found a mentor early on, it would have saved me from learning the first two lessons the hard way.  The hard way is almost always painful and expensive!

Finding a good mentor and a support team you trust is very challenging and time-consuming.  Many with the “work at home” bug avoid dependence of a support system and struggle blindly through the dark days of their small business startups.  This is an ego problem that must be overcome.  It is okay to need a little help learning the ropes.

Another lesson I learned that doesn’t conform to what we are taught is that the best mentors are not friends and family, no matter how successful they may be.  Nor will great mentors be free.  A good mentor is not there to make you feel good about yourself, be your buddy or do the job for you.  A true mentor assumes a great responsibility of delivering honesty and guidance through their own expertise.  Friends, family and free mentoring are often misguided by emotion and personal motives.

When considering self-employment, factor in the costs of a good coach who will take a personal approach to understanding your resources and business development goals. This is the secret weapon of the most highly successful home-based business entrepreneurs. Follow this advice and you are one step closer to your own success.

First thing I noticed about Big Ticket to Wealth that set them apart from the competition….

When I logged in for the first time I was presented with 30 different areas inside of the members section.  For moment I was overwhelmed, until I seen the words “Fast Start”. And this of course was the first place I decided to visit.

In this section was a well laid out game plan of approximately 20 to do items and the explanations and resources needed to get that list completed.  Also included was of MP3 downloadable audio file and a PDF “Getting Started Welcome Document”.

I’m not going to get into great detail about the individual task items or resources, what I want to cover most is that “getting started” document. 

It is this document was a big surprise that instantly made me realize that Big Ticket to Wealth was serious about helping its member succeed. Right then I knew the companies founder, Gerald Van Yerxa, and had a strong grasp on the success formula and was not afraid to share it.

There are many companies out there that know how to tell you what you want to hear in order to get you to buy their product.  But there are very few companies that have studied and developed training or coaching systems that actually empower the member or user. And the few that do understand true empowerment, often wish to keep that power for themselves.

Big Ticket to Wealth is not just another one of those systems to empower the owner, or make a handful of top level members extremely wealthy at the expense of others.  It was glaringly obvious as I read through the “Getting Started” document that even a seasoned Internet marketer such as myself was out of sync with my goals and desires. My mental success conditioning was off track and in this one document I was able to see the true value of this new team I was working with.

This document is 33 pages long with printer friendly, workbook type material.  This is the real meat and potatoes of discovering the fundamentals of successful thinking. Not only does it expand your awareness of yourself - there is collaboration motion within your team to give you an arsenal of tools and motivation.

There is no system in the world that will make you rich at a click of a button. There is no amount of training or resources that can set a person on their path to success if the person does not have a successful mindset.

Big Ticket to Wealth has embraced the philosophies of high achievers and developed a way to give others a creation point for mental focus.  And that is why Big Ticket to Wealth is charging across the Internet at full steam, creating success stories with surprising momentum.
