I also mentioned in the post, how, although I did not purchase Frank Kern’s $2,000 course on how to make millions of dollars in 24 hours or less selling products online, I have purchased a previous $2,000 course of his on how to make money online creating information products like e-books, and how I would have no hesitation in buying any of Frank’s products, as he is the real deal and his stuff works.

In my several years of being an online business owner, something I have found to be absolutely necessary for ensuring long-term success, especially on the Internet where there is so much information and so many things can change on a daily – even hourly basis, is the importance of having Mentors, Advisers and a Network, or Community, of like-minded people that you can ask questions to, bounce ideas off, and get information to help you keep your finger on the pulse of what’s currently happening, what’s new and what’s working, what’s old and on the way out, etc …

Regarding Mentors, I have found that one of the best and most cost-effective ways of gaining access to multiple great business mentors, is through the use of business audio books. The one I most recommend that any business owner start with, is Michael E. Gerber’s “The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work And What To Do About It!“. This is a classic best-selling business book that explains the formula to creating business systems that allow you to work ON your business, instead of working IN it. I have both the hard copy version, and the audio book version, as this allows me to listen while I am driving, going for a walk, or doing something else that keeps me on the move.

For Advisers, the best thing I have found, is that whenever you come across the web site of someone you feel has something important to teach you, or someone you can learn more from, then just subscribe to their newsletter or update list. I am subscribed to around 20 mailing lists from some of the best internet marketing and business minds in the world today. Every couple of years, I will unsubscribe from the lists of people whose information I no longer feel to be necessary for what I am doing and where I am going, and join the lists of new advisers whose field of expertise is more in line with what I am currently working towards. Frank Kern is one example of “advisers” whose list I am on. Another benefit of being on such lists, is that I usually get to hear about new products and events before most everybody else does, and this also allows me to get the advantages, special pricing, early bonuses, special offers, etc… if I decided to buy their new product or subscribe to their new service.

And this brings me to the third important factor to succeeding online … having a Network you can tap into.

I have been part of one exclusive online community since it launched in 2005, and it is by far, the best value-for-money membership I have even invested my money in. The name of this community is PortalFeeder.com. Most of the time, their doors are not open to new members, as they allow only a limited number of members in, but if you visit their site and get on their priority notification list, you will be notified on the few occasions when they do open their doors to allow a few new members to join.

So … what makes PortalFeeder such an exclusive community and why do I think it is a “must-have” membership for anyone who is serious about doing business online?

Well, I think the best way to explain this, is to give you a brief video tour of my membership, so you can see why members of PortalFeeder.com have an unfair advantage over just about everyone else who is trying to build a successful and profitable business on the internet:
