300 Internet Marketers Review – Brian G. Johnson

300 Internet Marketers Course Review

The Best Internet Marketing Course?

Firstly, for those of you who don’t want to wade through my lengthy ramblings, I’ll come straight out and say that the 300 Internet Marketers Course is by far the best and most in depth course for learning internet marketing I have every been a part of and I would whole heartedly recommend any Brian G. Johnson product.

“300 Internet Marketers is Brian’s INNER CIRCLE coaching program”

The amount of content in this course is MASSIVE and far exceeds any other course I have seen (and some of those selling for over 10 times the price).  The course started in April this year 2011 and we’re now 4 months into a 5 month course.

I’m not totally sure that it’s because of the specific course or if it’s the fact that Brian G. Johnson has put it together and he has over delivered once again.  I’m hugely impressed with the integrity and honesty Brian employs into his courses and the sheer amount of effort he puts into over delivering what he says he will and making himself totally available for course participants.  If you want to learn internet marketing strategies from someone who walks the talk, I would not hesitate to recommend any Brian G. Johnson product.  Just a couple of weeks into the course while it was still open, I recommended it to some friends and colleagues. Of those who joined all of them are thoroughly impressed with the course.

Low Refund Rate

Brian claimed before the course to have one of the lowest refund rates in the industry (around 8%) and I can see why now.  Those who have requested a refund just found that they were adverse to doing some work.  As I alluded to in one of my previous posts, “success requires work” and this course requires concerted effort and work (lots and lots of it – building a site with 250+ quality posts) to achieve the results one wants.  I can see how a few could be a bit disillusioned at the beginning if they were seeking out the “magic bullet”.  To me, the real proof in the pudding is that since starting the 300 Internet Marketers course, I have NOT looked at another course or watched another webinar (not related to 300 Internet Marketers) which is an impressive feat as many of you will be in the same situation as me, having your email inboxes bombed with numerous offers of shiny sparkly strategies and products all promising to make you rich overnight etc.  It’s very tempting just to have a look – but I haven’t.  I’ve remained focused on this course and on Brian’s content and teachings.  That’s not to say other things in life haven’t got in the way at times, but as far as other courses and products distracting me – it just hasn’t happened!

300 Internet Marketers Review – About the Course

How it’s Delivered

Welcome to Brian G. Johnson’s elite coaching program – follow what he’s  working on for 2011 step by step

The Members Area.  As with many internet marketing courses you receive a username and password to the members area.  So long as you make your 5th and final payment of $77, Brian promises lifetime access to that members area, and also promises that when he releases the course again in the future, any updates and improvements will be received by existing members.

Video Content Up the Wazoo

The Members area is regularly updated throughout the course and is broken up into different modules, each with time released video content.  I’m amazed at the sheer volume of video content Brian has provided and produced.  Each module contains up to 20 video segments taking you through each step in easy to follow and understand detail.  All of these videos are also condensed into step by step PDF documents if you want to print out and refer to them.  On top of this Brian delivers regular video updates to the group as to what’s going on, where we’re at, what we should be focusing on, and addressing any problems or concerns members may have.

Weekly Webinars

Brian’s commitment at the beginning of the course was to have a minimum of weekly live webinars.  To date, he has over delivered on this.  The webinars are run at different times to allow participants in different time zones and parts of the world fair access, and are always recorded and uploaded if you can’t participate live.  Webinars provide an opportunity for “Member Hot Seats” where you can converse live with Brian and have him review your work and your site, keeping you pointed in the right direction.  The webinars also provide opportunity for live questions and feedback from members and for Brian to re-address any aspects of the process people are struggling with.  They’re always fun and entertaining and Brian is quite the character and a bit of a goof.  He tells it like it is and doesn’t mince his words, but manages to do so in a kind and respectful way.  Webinars are fairly lengthy affairs and not over in minutes.  Time is never an issue for Brian and he gives as much as is needed and required by his students (even on his wedding anniversary).

The Members Forum.  The members forum is a fantastic resource provided for course participants.  It gives an opportunity for anyone to post questions or gain clarification on course content or internet marketing strategies.  Brian makes a huge effort to ensure he is on the forum answering questions frequently.  In addition there are a number of in-house experts who have been part of Brian’s previous courses such as Halloween Super Affiliate and Commission Ritual etc and are absolutely invaluable with the amount of time and effort they put into helping course participants.  There is a great atmosphere of camaraderie within the forum.

What Do you Learn on 300 Internet Marketers?

If you want to learn internet marketing tactics from an actual guru (some one who truly utilizes the tactics and strategies they teach) you can’t go past Brian G. Johnson and his products.  To complete my 300 Internet Marketers review I want to give some idea of what we’re actually learning.

Success Psychology

The psychology of success a subject Brian is very passionate about and frequently has a bit of a rant about what it takes to be successful.  He doesn’t beat about the bush with this topic which is fantastic to see.  Unlike many fly by nighters he is genuinely concerned about the success of his students and spends a lot of time working on business plans and goal setting.  He frequently reminds people that this is a business and as a result deserves to be treated as such.  The truth is, this is probably the most important part of the course and Brian is very good at teaching it.  Like anything in life, even if you’ve got the right tools, if your mind isn’t in the right place you won’t get anywhere.  It’s very easy to get distracted or disillusioned for whatever silly reason and not focus on the end goal.  One of Brian’s favorite sayings is “what can I do today to get me a little bit closer to my end goal?”

Check out the video below for a taste of Brian’s unique and entertaining teaching style and some information on mindset for internet marketing.  Brian relays the “3 feet from gold” story as found in Napoleon Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich”

Authority Websites Sites

The goal of this course is to have participants creating authority websites in niches of their choosing.  There are some criteria around those niches in that there have to be affiliate products available to sell and they must have search minimum search volumes.  My previous experience trying to learn internet marketing has had me set up sites around very low volume keywords (under 2000 searches) where as Brian has no hesitation recommending you target some fairly competitive keywords and competitive niches.  As he says, it’s better to set up shop where you know people are making money, rather than some obscure niche.  In addition to this internet marketing blog, I am currently establishing a “health and weight loss” related site and a “learn Spanish” site.

WordPress Tactics

Brian has totally mastered WordPress and has spent years perfecting his methods for customizing WordPress in order to optimize the success of his websites in search engine rankings (SEO) and as money making sales platforms.  He goes into minute detail regarding which plugins to use and how to set them up correctly.  Some of them he has modified and improved.

WordPress Themes

As part of the 300 Internet Marketers course, Brian has provided access to the lite version of the premium wordpress theme FlexSqueeze which is brilliant.  In addition to this he has devoted an entire module of approximately 13 videos to setting up the theme correctly to ensure success.  He doesn’t skimp on anything.

Content Creation

For many internet marketers, content creation is the bane of their life yet without it success is very limited.   Brian puts a massive amount of emphasis on the fact that our goal is in fact to become publishers on the internet and in order to do that we have to come to terms with publishing masses and masses of content.  This is a bit off-putting for some people but let’s face it, if you don’t want to create content, then internet marketing is probably not for you.  In Brian’s own words, “you can screw up almost all of the rest of your SEO efforts, but if you publish a lot of content you will get results”.  The purpose of these sites is to create content that visitors will love and that Google will love, so a balance needs to be achieved between content solely created for the benefit of search engines and content solely created for human readers.  Brian has got a few nifty techniques up his sleeve for making this a pretty simple process and also leveraging off other people’s expertise and authority in various niches.  With that said though, this won’t work unless you put in the concerted effort over a period of time to build quality content.

Outsourcing Your Content

Brian points out that he didn’t outsource any work at all for years after he got started in internet marketing for the following reason.  Many people try to leverage their time by trying to outsource, but that don’t yet have firm understanding of what they’re trying to accomplish which is a recipe for disaster.  You really need to know and understand what it is you need to be done so you can communicate it clearly.  Additionally, when people return work to you which you’ve paid for you had better have an understanding of whether it’s good work or now and meets the criteria of the system or strategy.  In a word, until you really thoroughly understand yourself what needs to be done do the work yourself so you can learn.

Monetizing Your Website

So far, we have not reached the monetization part of the course as Brian takes a fairly conservative approach to this in the initial stages.  This is a challenge for some as clearly anyone doing the course is wanting to make money and in a hurry to do so in most cases.  Brian has sound reasoning to his leisurely approach to this.  One of the reasons is that initially there is very little traffic on a new authority site so literally nothing to monetize.  Another key reason however is that part of Brian’s strategy for ranking well is to get “Blog Rolled” on some high PR authority sites.  This is much easier to do if your site doesn’t look too commercial with adsense and affiliate offers all over it.

With this said, Brian is an expert in this area and teaches numerous strategies for generating serious profit from your large authority sites.

And Much Much More…..

If all this wasn’t enough there is so much more to this course, including learning the art of list building and monetizing the list, to your own product creation.  It goes on and on.  This is indeed the most comprehensive internet marketing course available from a genuine guru and nice guy.  The course offers life time membership and access to any future upgrades when the product is relaunched.

If you are serous about making money online, I highly recommend you consider a 300 Internet Marketers course membership when it becomes available again.  If you wish to know more, feel free to contact me personally.
