Hi! Youre listening to Terry Telford from thebusinessprofessional.com,
and today were very fortunate to have Mike Filsaime with us. Mikes
been online basically since 2002, and he really knows how to build and
run a profitable online business.
Today, Mikes going to take us on a step-by-step tour of the business
building basics, starting off with the development stage and the
concept of how you come up with an idea to go ahead with, right up to
the marketing side of things. Before we begin though, Id like to say
thanks very much for taking the time to be with us today, Mike.
Mike:
Terry, its a pleasure to be here. Thank you very much.
Terry:
Thank you. Maybe we can start off, Mike, and you can tell us a little
bit about your background and how you ended up getting where you
are today.
Mike:
Okay sure. What happened was, back in 2002, I was the sales
manager for a Toyota dealership we were a large volume Toyota
dealership and I was doing a lot of training for the organization. At
that time, I was doing some surfing on the Internet trying to find some
free resources that I could put together, print out, and make a manual
for the training classes that we were going to be holding for the
students.
I was working on this for about three weeks, and everyday, with all
the spam you get, whether its You won the lottery, or porn, or the
secrets to wealth, or whatever, I just kept seeing the same thing come
to my inbox at MSN. It kept saying The secrets to online profits and
Id delete it and the next day itd be there again and Id delete it and
the next day itd be there again and Id delete it.
One day I looked at it, and there was a little image in there of a guy
with his hands in the air. I still remember it today because I copied
the image and used it when I tried to get online. I clicked on it, and it
went to a sales page, and it turns out it was Frank Kerns, Instant
Internet Empire which was very successful back then, but then it had
a little problem, we wont go there. But, just to let you know the
effect that it has on a non-Internet marketer when we see a sales
letter like that, I actually printed it.
