An Analogue Entrepreneur in a Digital Age



I had to concede yesterday that I was an analogue entrepreneur in a digital age when I attended Internet Marketing Expert Mark Attwood's latest SEO clinic.

It was an intensive, mind blowing day about how to utilise every available - but legitimate - trick possible to market via the internet as well as maximise conversion from your website.

Mark Attwood is the entrepreneur who took leading Skip Hire company www.topskips.com from £0 to £7.5 million in just three years using these techniques. He is now using his considerable talent as a charismatic trainer to help other entrepreneurs on their journey. Mark also delivered a fantastic 90 minute workshop at our recent Marketing Magicians event and you can buy the DVD set here.

I'm now completely looking at my online strategy in a totally different way so expect some changes over coming months!

never heard so much sucking up to an internet guy.

One success and you are everybodies honey. In this business you are only as good as your next victory. Reputation counts for nothing.

Most of you guys are just living off some old success years ago. Proves nothing. I guess thats why your in the education business now.

Anonymous, have you ever heard or met Mark Attwood, he is a different class, full great information, willing to share it, and, explains how to do things easily.

But one of the main things is, he pratices what he preaches and has the results to back up what he says.

I am happy to learn if someone is willing to teach and if I put it into practice and it works, I'm happy. I am sorry I missed both events. Anne

dlog - if he was real deal then he wouldn't be wasting his time with you.

He'd be building a billion dollar empire. Reckonn Mark Attwood has run out of ideas.

Huw, i have not seen Mark Attwood in action, but i am at least open minded about the fact that he is probably a good guy and that from the skip hire site he certainly knows how to put a world class website together.

dlog and others on here have bothered to meet him.

Why don't you? I have found that being negative without data is a silly place to be.

Go to one of his events. You might just be pleasently surprised.

Stephen said...

lets move on shall we. I already know that i'm stupid.
lol.
So what's new?

Stephen said...

Anyway, just checked and Mark is top page for 10 out of 12 targeted keywords and half of those are first place. And according to googles dozey stats the average search results are 201K per month. So if hes pulling 30-40% of that traffic every month, with a site like topskips he must be converting a lot of sales.

If that sounds like someone who doesn't know what they're doing then i don't know where it puts the rest.

Show me one of your sites Huw and see if you can do any better?

I think you may be missing the point somewhat or have mislaid your pills.

Business is not about 'victory' and 'billion dollar empires'. If it was the vast majority of people would be unfulfilled me thinks. For most people, business is a collaborative thing and money when it comes is a nice reward rather than an aim.

As for Stephen and Rachel being stupid I think not. They have some odd ideas at times but they are not stupid.

Stephen said...

ps. btw those search results numbers were for ONE keyword. So hes pulling a lot more traffic than that if you look at the entirety of his campaign.

also.. thanks kindly for your words Mr C..

Huw,
"dlog - if he was real deal then he wouldn't be wasting his time with you".

That is what makes him the real deal, he has obviously made himself, and now feels the need to help others achieve great success, oity there aere not more about like Mark. A truly sincere genuine guy.

PS: What would you know any way, you don't even know thedlog!!
