Hi Bogdan,

The Course to Website Success!

This story to give encouragement to the majority
of internet users trying to make it into the top
5% who succeed. What's more, I know the value of
having a link on a well-visited site and your
incentive to place a button link  for the winning
article is a great idea. I know that these kind
of links bring in traffic long after the article
is published.

I got involved in web design, promotion and
marketing just over 2 years ago after 9 years
trying to make it offline.

There is a formula to a successful website, and I
found out the hard way, from experience.

I set out to develop my own business online and
spent half my time trying to improve my website
and the other half using free trials of search
engine positioning software to optimize my pages.
I had a free website and was hosting for free. I
had joined lots of affiliate programs and was
trying to promote them all. After a year however
I had not had any significant results.

I knew I wasn't really an expert but I knew a lot
more than most people around me. I had become
obsessed with the internet, and was spending 16
hours a day reading hundreds of articles about
website design, promotion and marketing, and
trying all the time to come up with better sites,
putting into practice what I had read. I am sure
this rings a bell with a lot of your readers.

I finally managed to get my free site in the top
10 on Infoseek for a particular keyword and I
thought things were happening, but after a short
burst of traffic my free website went down for
some reason, and the infoseek link stopped
pointing to my site.

I was on the verge of deciding to throw the towel
in and move on to something else. Everyone told
me I was just wasting my time and the success
stories you read are just hype created by people
trying to inflate their own success. However I
had read some wise words by Tom Wood, a marketer
I highly respect, which said "We all have exactly
what it takes. You just need to believe you
deserve it."

Another thing I learned from Tom is that you need
to help people to help yourself. Well I decided
to put everything I had learned during the
previous 18 months into practice. Your success is
a result of your actions.

The one thing I was starting to really understand
now, was how to market on the internet. I knew a
lot about other things too, but the difference is
I had a passion for the internet. The idea of
being able to have a business that runs itself
automatically with minimum input from me!

The one thing all website owners need is website
design, promotion and marketing information,
whether they are selling health products or
website services. So I set about building a
website aimed at helping others get this
information - http://www.TheWebsEYE.com.

I also realized how important it is that this
information is free. So I created a free 5 day
"Website Success Course" which teaches people how
to avoid making the same mistakes I did trying to
develop an online business. It teaches the 5
essentials of creating a successful website.

People who subscribe to this course will find out
if they are missing one of the essential
ingredients that can make or break their site.
They can even use this course to sell their own
product or affiliate programs. It is available by
sending a blank email to mailto:wsc@quicktell.com
or by subscribing to the weekly newsletter at my
site.

I have never looked back. If you believe in
yourself, you can do it, wherever you live. The
internet has no boundaries.

Best regards,
Richard Igoe.
