Well where do I begin! My name is Jacinta and I have been a student of John Thornhill’s for the last 18 months. My story is probably like most, however maybe a little different. I am from Australia. I am in my very late thirties and a stay at home mum learning how to create a business online while my 2 year old sleeps. (Well she is nearly 3 now!)

For many years during my early adult life I worked in many different jobs, studied different certificates, I even owned a couple of small businesses (lost a lot of money too!) I was never really one to stick at things, I would get bored too easily, not only that I really didn’t like being bossed around and told what to do just to earn some money. Life had its ups and it had its downs however everything changed when I fell pregnant with my child.

During my pregnancy I had to give up work due to gestational diabetes. I had no other income coming in so I decided to dabble in eBay. I had been teaching spray tanning at the time at a local beauty college and figured I could sell the machines and how to kits on eBay. This did work for a while except when I was 9 months pregnant trying to carry large boxes into the post office!

After my baby was born, I knew I wanted to create a business from home so I could be there for my child and earn an income at the same time. I didn’t know where to begin. In answer to my questions I received an email promoting a seminar called “World Internet Summit” I was curious, however with my little one only 6 weeks old at the time I knew I couldn’t go so I sent my father in my place.

My father took heaps of notes and came home very excited telling me a business online was the way to go. I was excited and curious all at the same time. For the next 12 months I researched and researched, bought product after product, got scammed a couple of times by people selling me junk. I must have wasted thousands and thousands of dollars. I was an internet marketers dream! All this time I was still trying to sell on eBay, however my market was getting saturated and it was becoming very hard to make a profit in my niche.

Everything shifted for me in April 2008. I was sitting at a hospital with my daughter when she was diagnosed with a condition that may have needed surgery. (She is fine now and all is well). I was in shock for a few days. My daughter had just turned 1, I had no money, no job, I don’t own a house and nor do I own a car. I took a big long look in the mirror, I cried for a couple of days and knew I had to make a change. I had to do something but I had no idea where to begin.

A couple of days later, yes the world works in mysterious ways, I was contacted by a lady who had a website dedicated to spray tanning. She asked me if she could promote my training manual from her site. I said fantastic and how do I do that? She told me I needed to create my own website and set up an affiliate program. I said OK how do I do that! She told me I had to learn how or get someone to do it for me.

Hmmmmm……No money to pay someone so second choice, I had to learn how! I started reading some of the stuff I had bought, but I ended up with information overload and completely confused. I knew I had to be taught how, but by whom?

One of the products I had bought was John Thornhill’s “90 Day PowerSeller”. I decided to have a read. Something clicked when I started to read John’s book. I liked his style of writing, I liked his honest truth. Being an Aussie we like straight up honest people who will tell you how it is and John is exactly that! This was June 2008. After reading the book I knew I wanted to learn from John and would you believe I received an email telling me about a coaching program John was doing starting the first week of July.

They say when the student is ready the teacher will appear……………..

I remember the 3rd of July 2008 very well. I was sitting up a 4 am in the morning, my eyes hanging out of my head from lack of sleep, but I knew I had to get a position in the training. It was a good thing I did stay up as the coaching program sold out in a matter of hours! I was lucky. I got in! I spent what little money I had and signed up for the 16 week coaching program. This was my beginning, however truthfully I only managed to complete half of that program, life got in the way and I only had very little time. I kept making excuses.

Christmas 2008 was difficult for me, we did not have a lot of money and I was only able to give my daughter a couple of gifts, and once again I knew I needed to kick my butt into gear. In January 2009 John was promoting his new program Marketing Masterclass. This was going to be a 36 week program. After the experience I had with the 16 week course I knew I wanted to be apart of this one so once again I was up early emailing John trying to get a position.

Again I got on, but this time things were different. I was determined, I was focused, and I knew my back was against the wall. I want a future for my daughter. I want to be able to buy a house one day and maybe even a new car, but most of all I want to be able to provide for my child as a parent should.

From the first week of February 2009 I became a very good little student. I studied hard, did most of my exercises and followed John’s program. Some weeks were easy and some weeks were hard. Sometimes I fell behind in the program and other weeks I caught up. I kept at it even if I could only do a couple of hours or even one hour per week. I kept the momentum going and never gave up. This time I did not let the excuses of life get in my way. I had many an insomnia night, and when I wanted to give up I would take one look at my sleeping daughter and get back to it again!

My perseverance paid off. I now know how to build a website, create a blog, and create a product, set up an affiliate program, drive traffic, market and so much more! Thanks to John’s Masterclass program I now have the tools to create a future for my daughter.

John is like the teacher that teaches you how to fish.

If you are reading this and are unsure about whether you want to sign up to John’s program or not, I can honestly say John is one of the most humble, truthful and genuine approachable marketers you will ever come across. He is real!

This program is not a get rich quick thing, and success will not happen overnight. You need to be focused and you need to treat this program as if you are studying at school. John teaches you step by step the very basics of how to create a business online. He has a “take you by the hand” approach and helps you every step of the way. If you want to find out in more detail about what we have learned this past year I have detailed summaries on my blog.

In the course were we given videos and checklists of tasks each week that we had to complete. Not only that we were also given access to some fantastic programs for free, however one of the best parts about this program would have to be the forum. Being able to communicate with fellow students was awesome. We have become a little internet family in there and we are all encouraging of each other and will always help each other out. I have met some amazing people that I know I will be friends for life, even if we are half a world away!

John Thornhill’s Marketing Master Class Program was the best decision I even made. If you are looking for a mentor that can help you set up a business online from scratch well here he is!

Thank you John for being an amazing mentor and thank you for being true!

Now I can look forward to my future and smile because of you.

Kind Regards

Jacinta Dean

My history of trials and errors in the search for Internet success and freedom started some five years ago back in 2005, I had just had my fill of being the proverbial employee as most have just like you I dare say?

It all started when I searched Google for a small business plan that would enable me to work from home, l wanted freedom, and ownership of my own destiny?

I would buy business blueprint products time and time again that would all promise me "easy overnight success and wealth", (yeah right) let me tell you right now there is no such thing, there is no magic pill PERIOD!

These programs where unrealistic to say the least, and I would constantly fall flat on my face unsuccessful and disheartened, feeling trapped I started to believe there was no hope, it was then I started searching for ways to start and grow a business on eBay but didn`t no where to start, I came across a young guy who was very successful at selling physical niche products and I spent around £535 for a twelve DVD course on how to do this, now to be fair this guys methods work 100% but redundancy came along and I couldn`t afford to buy all the stock to sell, little did I know though that what I learned from that course would kind of be the preparation for the success to follow!

You see all the heartache and stress I went through was a blessing in disguise, because I had learned far more than I realized and more importantly it created the right Mindset I needed to stay in the game!

With this attitude I sat back and thought long and hard until I realized that I had to find a way to start a very low cost business on the Internet that wouldn`t require large cash investments for buying stock in to sell, but how could I possibly achieve this, then it hit me I knew I had to look for a MENTOR someone who had definitively reached the lighthouse and avoided the rocks of failure, someone who knew what it takes from the offset to be an online success and presence and who runs a business with very low costs in overheads?

By this time I had reached 2009, it was late January and once again I was searching for my meal ticket to success in the form of a mentor, whilst looking through the search results the word "masterclass" caught my eye so I instinctively clicked on the website link, and on the page before me was a pitch page hosting the title "John Thornhills Marketing Masterclass" it was a pre-sell launch to recruit students to his course , and also on the page was an home made video of John driving to his home talking about his past and finding success with his business model and how the viewer can do the same, straight away I just knew this was the ticket to ride, I can`t explain it I just knew somehow I could relate to John?

John had all the airs about him of being forthright, honest and a dead cert as a MENTOR, but just as important I had noticed straight away that the overhead cost to this business was virtually zero, well that was the catalyst to me joining up his system just seemed so uncomplicated and straightforward I just had to be a part of it !

Now the course was scheduled for 36 weeks but by the end of it it ran into something like 42 weeks,and for the first time it was a pleasure to partake in studying a business model, the course was laid out week to week in easy to follow step by step video tutorials complimented with an introductory PDF, a fantastic format, John gives his students tasks to be completed over the week like I said via his videos, and the course was structured in 6 phases, and believe me YOU do see your business starting to take shape as you complete them!

Put it this way before John's Masterclass, I didn't`t know what a domain name was, I didn`t know much about hosting a website, I didn't`t know about how to build a customer database, hell what's a blog I didn't`t have one a successful blog, but I do now www.john-edwards-blog.com, and I can do all these tasks and a great deal more, but the most important ingredient that John Thornhill taught me which was so vital to the success of my online business, and that was how to create my very own information product and guess what! I have done that successfully too www.skincareprofitsgoldmine.com!

There is so much more to John's Masterclass, like traffic generation that is the lifeblood to your website's, this also is so vitally important for success of your business you need buyers and John has taught me how to get them with different methods, and all of these buyers come *free*!

So there you have it, John Thornhill was the mentor I was looking for, he gave me the knowledge I needed to create a blog, the knowledge to create a product of my own, the knowledge to create my own sales page, a growing customer base for life, and everything he knows on driving hordes of buyers to your website's, and guess what all you need to do then is repeat the whole process time and time again and grow your business, like I am doing right now. I have plans in place for this year I could only have dreamed of just one year ago, and I know the future holds great success for me!

This is what John Thornhills Marketing Masterclass is all about and more, this is the man that's John Thornhill a genuine bloke who I cannot thank enough for showing me what it takes to be a genuine online success!

Thanks John.... John Edwards.

And to the reader, I hope you have taken stock of this message, and that is to never ever give up on your dreams they will be realized you just need the right MENTOR!

Sincere Regards

John Edwards.

Where do I start With John Thornhill’s Marketing Masterclass Programme? A better question would probably be: Where was I before John’s Masterclass programme?

It was around 2 years ago in 2007 that I started my money making adventures online and after doing some dabbling on eBay without any real success I tried my hand at the Internet marketing game. Unfortunately after trying various products and different opportunities for the first year the sad fact was that I wasn’t actually making any kind of real money and I realised that without the rights skills and knowledge it was very unlikely that I was ever going to make any real money online.

I realised I needed a mentor to show me the way. Someone who had been and done it all before so I searched google and that’s when John’s name popped up. I hadn’t heard of John before so I checked out his blog and was eventually led to his marketing masterclass programme. He was offering to mentor me and a group of students for 36 weeks solid and gave the guarantee tat is we worked hard and followed his course through to the end that we would have our very own business set up and our very own product for sale online by the end.

Needless to say I didn’t hesitate as this sounded like the very programme I had been looking for to finally get my online dream off the ground. Each week John would send me and the other students a set of videos that clearly explained the steps we needed to take and what order we needed to take them. We simply had to watch, copy and implement, which is the exact way all mentoring should be done!

Before I enrolled in John’s Masterclass I had no idea of how to set up a blog and the importance it can play in building you online presence, not to mention your business. I had no idea how to set up a Google AdSense campaign, how to build a profitable mailing list or how to research a niche in the correct way.

There are now so many people trying to build a business online but the unfortunate facts are that 95% of these people will most probably fail and then give up as they do not have the skills required to take them forward and they lack the direction and knowledge to make even their first dollar online.

If there was one piece of advice I would give to anyone new to online marketing or online business in general, it would be to get themselves a mentor to show them the way forward. Find a mentor who has successfully built an online business empire and get them show you how you can do the same.

Before I enrolled in John’s Masterclass, I had never even heard of HTML, back- linking or even JV proposals. I was missing so many key elements and skills that were required to make me a success at online marketing.

In the 36 weeks that I was enrolled to John’s Masterclass, I leant how to:

* Build a blog where I can interact with my customers and build a name for myself

* Set up a Google AdSense campaign that makes me money from advertising on my blog

* Build a mailing list using opt-in forms and squeeze pages

* Register a domain name and transfer it to my webhosting

* Research profitable niches

* Create a digitally downloadable products that I can sell over and over again on autopilot

* Create professional sales pages for my products

* Create a professional affiliates pages and download page sfor my new product

* How drive traffic to my websites and products

These are just a few the key elements I learnt during the 36 week programme. John also offered a ton of high ticket resources for free that helped me expand and grow my business to a new level as well as support via email and the Masterclass helpdesk.

So 36 weeks on and I am now in a position where I have my very own digital information products for sale online, see Build Your eBiz With Resale Rights and PLR. My own business blog and mailing list which is helping me build my own online business community and a list of targeted customers that I can sell to again and again and the training is still coming well after the 36th week has finished. John has gone far and beyond here and is still providing training to his students for free!

I am sure that without this course I would now be another statistic of those who did not make it online and would not be on the great position that I am in now- working from home doing the job that I love. In 36 weeks I have gone from a complete beginner to being a confident Internet marketer with my very own product for sale online and on ClickBank.

I would advise anyone who is struggling online as a marketer, to check out John’s Masterclass Programme, I am so glad I was one of the lucky one’s who got a slot and have now furthered my Internet marketing career.

Steve Wilkins

Prior to joining John’s Masterclass course my only real experience in terms of internet marketing was eBay. I had built a reasonably successful business for myself on eBay using, what I believe, to be fairly unique methods. I had always thought that if I could teach other people how to do this and make $50 a day it could be a potential money maker. I was aware of ClickBank and I had seen product sales pages. However I had no idea whatsoever how it operated or how to get my own product on ClickBank.

Unfortunately, this isn’t something you can easily find out from a quick Google search. There’s an absolute myriad of things you need to learn and understand in order to get your own information products up for sale on ClickBank. I did buy a couple of e-books which were supposed to explain the process but to be honest its not something you can learn to do properly just from reading an e-book and I ended up getting confused with the whole thing.

This is where the Masterclass course helped me because basically, you are taken through the entire process step by step, week by week from setting up a blog, researching a niche, creating your product, building a mailing list, launching your product on ClickBank and marketing your product. I can honestly say that I would not have had a clue how to do any of this stuff had I not taken this course. You simply won’t realise how much there is to learn just to get started in internet marketing. This is probably why many people fail at it – they get information overload and just give up. This is why the Masterclass course is great – you learn everything you need to know but at a sensible pace. Some will find it too slow, some too fast, but you can complete everything at your own pace.

Now I have started to make some sales of my product although I do need to do more in terms of driving traffic and marketing it. I am also now in a position to repeat the entire process if I wish (which is basically how John has built his online business). One of the best things to come out of the course for me has been the interaction with other students. You will seriously get masses of support, advice and ideas here and I would advise anyone taking the course to participate in the forum provided as much as you can.

My plans for the future involve a joint venture for a membership site with some of the other students I met on the course. I plan to do a lot more promotion for my $50 A Day product. I may launch another product on ClickBank although I’m unsure about that at the moment. I have some ideas for further expanding my eBay business and I’ve also got some ideas for doing something on Amazon which I’m quite excited about.

Overall I would recommend the Masterclass course to anyone interested in internet marketing because even if you don’t enjoy it or if you decide that the methods are just not for you; you can take this knowledge (which is really hard to come by, by other means) and apply it in lots of other ways. Plus, I can guarantee, by the time you finish the course, your head will be spinning with ideas about the possibilities for making money online.

Thank you John

Steve
