OK , hands up…
I’ve been a little (LOT) lacking when it comes to this site/blog.
In my defence there were MANY very good reasons for NOT updating the site. (we’ll get to these near the end).
Now I know what the “guru’s” say … “You MUST have a BLOG to succeed!”
Well em, NO you DO NOT need to have a BLOG to succeed and I can prove it.
You see I don’t “like” to conform, I don’t like to follow the herd in the hope that we’re all heading in the right direction. No I like to be a maverick and do things with a little twist here and there. OK a LOT of twists, ducks, dives and ninja manoeuvres.
Now I’ll be the first to admit, had I “followed” the herd a few years back I would probably, no I would DEFINITELY have made a LOT more money online.
“So why didn’t you follow the heard you fool?” I hear you say…
Simple, I like to test and tweak and break things and look at alternative solutions to problems. Weird I know; however, if it wasn’t for this approach I wouldn’t have been able to “discover” methods of making money online WITHOUT any up front costs!
Yep you read that right; no up front cost, nothing, zilch, nada, totally cost free methods of making money online!
I wanted to prove to myself and others that it IS possible to become successful online without ANY financial outlay whatsoever, not even a dime…
And BOY did I prove it was possible – It STILL IS
Saying that it cost me four years of my life “testing” and over $60,000 of my income and my savings!! But you’re worth it
At the time I didn’t realise I had embarked on a “quest”; however, looking back it was those LEAN years, those frustrating late night, early morning long lonely sessions at the computer that helped to forge me into the person I am today.
Saying that here I am now in October 2011, sitting in my bedroom in Saudi Arabia at 02:40 writing this blog post… ah some things never change.
Anyway, getting back on track…
I believe that “forging” during the early years, has made me stronger and dare I say sharper, a bit like the Japanese Katana. It is claimed that a real Katana is folded over 1,000,000 times and this is what gives it the amazing strength and sharpness. Perhaps all those times I almost “folded” were actually me being forged into something much more special? Just a thought, hey humour me its early morning here.
My REAL quest as touched upon above was to unearth methods or marketing that wouldn’t cost a “dime”.
Sure I could rank WordPress blogs on Google, still can; sure I could optimise my PPC landing pages to get cheaper clicks; however, I wanted something that EVERYONE could do and do it totally free of charge.
And so…
Stupidly Simple SEO was born!
The #1 quickest way to get ranked on Google. Actually the quickest recorded was 29 seconds. I know you won’t believe me so the screen shot is below. (click on it to see a bigger view)
Yes I had found a way to get simple one page articles onto the TOP of Google typically in under 6 minutes and the best part, once they hit page one they were “sticking” at the top, some still are. Google: acai berry tea review (the xomba post is mine and I STILL get Amazon commissions off this page!
I shared these findings with my new members courtesy of Clickbank and some very well known JV Partners and the rest as they say is history!
These days we do things a little differently favouring YouTube videos made with FREE software such as Animoto and also Facebook Pages. Yes you can SEO a Facebook page. Oh you want proof? Google: SEO V2 and then Google: I love Rock Band 3
So this brings me back to the statement at the very start of this post… “You MUST have a blog to be successful online!”
Well I hope that the above has proved this is NOT the case!
As I’ve mentioned you can create Facebook Fanpages, YouTube Videos, Articles, Press Releases etc, etc ALL for free and make a fantastic income from them all.
Sure you’re probably going to want a website/blog set up in the future; however, why go to the expense now when there are so many FREE ways to make money?
Once you start generating the income then move onto the “paid” offerings.
I’ll be covering these and many more strategies in the upcoming “training” section so please check back often.
Well its now 03:30 and I definitely need my beauty sleep!
Keep on Keeping on
To your continued success

PS – the reason I haven’t been updating this blog/site is because I’ve been too busy testing and launching my new service offerings and creating new profit pulling systems. I’ll share some of these methods with you on here as well
Simple and powerful lesson better than never bookmarked for later reading
Hi Phil hope you are well. I wonder if you do one-on-one internet marketing coaching. I’d like to learn how to start and make it big and I’ve heard you are the guy I should learn from. Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi Marcin, yes indeed I do occasionally take on new students for one to one coaching. I do not have a “one size fits all” offering as everyone is different and I like to provide the “precise” training to suit the individuals, goal, needs, budget and desire.
Typically, I would suggest we have a skype conversation so we establish where you are now, your background and where you would like to be in the next 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and beyond.
The above will allow us to plan the exact methods and strategies necessary to ensure your success in the shortest time possible.
Please email me: success at phil-henderson.com (@phil-henderson.com)
I look forward to assisting you create a life of abundance
To your continued success
Phil Henderson
Congrats on the new blog! =)
