When you go on holiday everything is different; the food, culture, the way people speak.

Everyday tasks that you have dealt with your whole life without thinking can become a challenge and a frustration.

You sit down in a restaurant, take a look at the menu and don’t recognise anything. Then when the waitress takes your order you end up pointing at your selection or pronouncing it wrong. Either way, often what arrives is not what you were expecting.

So what’s this got to do with Internet Marketing?

Well, having just come back from Thailand and being new to Internet Marketing, I know the frustration of getting the wrong food and not understanding how to generate traffic on the internet.

I love Thai food and wanted to know how to cook the dishes for myself. Before my holiday, I’d followed recipes off the internet and magazines, but it never tasted like the food cooked by a Thai, so what did I do? I found a Thai lady that could speak English and asked her to show me how to cook a few dishes which I recorded on my flip cam and will upload to share.

This is no different from trying to make money on the internet. You need someone that knows what they are doing to become your mentor and show you what they do. Once you’ve been shown and given the opportunities to ask questions as you go along, it’s down to taking action.     

My mentor is Alex Jeffreys and as I put into action what he shows me, I’ll be able to help other Newbies and for a bit of fun, I’ll upload video clips of my cooking lessons in Thailand.
