Ask Brad Sugars

Hi Brad, I was at your Melb. Seminar. You were Fantastic. Brad I had a successful transport company which I started in 1996 and sold in 2007. We had enjoyed 40% growth per annum however the industry is labor & capital intensive. The great leverage aspect was I had 60 + drivers and we were making good money. Our last year’s turnover was $5million. I started a removals business which did not go too well.It actually cost a lot of my networth. Both businesses grew at a rapid rate – Removals 3.6 million in 3 years. Today I am working for a wage and am happy not to have stress, however I long for great cashflow again. Towards the end as a business owner, most of my work was derived from the web (considering no work was from the web at inception) I embraced the web as the way to do business going forward. I see myself as a business builder & have a passion for the web. I would ideally like to be involved with internet marketing, seo, Lead generation, ADsense, affiliate marketing etc. My theory is I would like to make a $1 a day from 1000 sources rather than $1000 from one source. however I am lost. My problem is How to and when to start. I am a great believer in +ve thinking. I do know that what the mind can pecieve & believe it will achieve. I know I am going to achieve greatness – I need direction and advise as to the vehicle to achieve this success. What I would like to is to harness the power of the internet and work in global markets. I do create my own websites & blogs – I do know the power of viral marketing but do not know where to start. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would like to send you an attachement as i have documented my notes from your seminar -came to 17 pages !!! – I think you will enjoy reading it. Congratulations on your success !! p.s. At the hieght of my success I had a porsche carrera 996 silver on black lowered with 20 inch rims. You have inspired my to have a fleet of cars – Where do I begin ? Shakeel TXTCORP International

I’d start by first defining your customers, then define their problem, then define the product or service that will serve that need or solve their problem or frustration.

Internet marketing is a great, low-cost way to reach your prospects … but it also forces you to be very specific about who you are targeting and what you are selling. Relationships and credibility are important in business, but exponentially more important on the web and in social media circles.

So get focused and clear on what your customers want, then do some research on how to get to them via the many online resources available to you (there are a lot of great materials on how to do this) … and work toward the success you knew and can envision.

As you know, it’s not easy … but it can be simple. Start at the beginning and work toward what you want and you’ll find it gets easier the as you work hard on the simple fundamentals.

All the best.
