In addition, the diagnosis that his son was autistic in 2003 focused this search on methods that could be done while working from home where he would be able to spend more time with his children. Rather than spend his time lamenting this event, he found pride in his son’s wonderful talents and committed himself over the following 3 years to growing his Internet business to the point where he could leave his medical practice and work full time online.

In his own words he has described himself as someone who preferred to lay low and work ‘underground.’ As a result, he was not featured in the IM spotlight very often until he and his partner, Howie Schwartz released Lead Supreme 3.0 in 2007.

Over the years, Dr. Mike’s companies have created over eighty information products and resulted in more than 700,000 leads spread over many different markets. He is in demand as a speaker and travels widely, teaching entrepreneurs how to succeed. While the doctor no longer makes house calls, he does meet with his patients in 2-3 day workshops where he addresses such disorders as Newbeitis, Analysis-Paralysis and Focus Syndrome. One reviewer who attended a workshop as his described the experience as fairly painless with no needles in sight and only the odd poke when needed.

At this time, Dr. Mike’s business is focused on workshops that are generally held in the San Diego area and teleclass styled coaching programs.

While I’ve not found any negative comments in regards to Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, I do note that at the time I visited his website and blog on December 20th that it appeared to be a bit out of date with some links inactive and a video posted that states it is no longer available. While this can easily happen, it does give pause to my ability to recommend Dr. Mike as an Internet guru from which to seek training.

It would appear that Howie made his debut on the Internet marketing scene in around 2007 when he teamed up with a medical doctor by the name of Dr. Mike Woo-Ming (Lead Evolution) to release a product called Lead Supreme 3.0 at a cost of $4500 US. Described at that time by one reviewer as being a low profile geek.

Update: I suspected Howie was quietly working behind the scenes long before this 2007 debut and I was right. Howie may have to add mind reading to his list of trick as he recently revealed in his 2010 predictions video that he has been in Internet marketing full time now for 10 years. Thanks for the update Howie.

Howie recognized the danger of being dependent on Google early in the game and set out to find ways to mitigate this dependency. He has since gone on to become anything but low profile and is now best described as the Google dominator as he uses his marketing skill to own the first page in Google for the keywords and niches he targets. Now don’t quote me on the dates. As mentioned earlier, details are pretty sketchy and hard to find.

Howie successfully plays on his eccentric personality to present himself as a person of interest and approachability to all. From his video featuring him in his daughter’s wading pool to calling himself a Google pimp in his Halloween video and threatening to sing to his audience, he most certainly commands your attention. His webinars are lengthy, informative and interesting to view.

Of the Internet marketers that you may come in contact with, Howie is one who probably shares the most content with those that subscribe to his lists. Available to these subscribers are numerous pdf’s, reports, video’s and webinars designed to not only give the subscriber an inside look at his full product line, but to also share some tidbits related to his marketing strategies that have given him his success.

Howie’s A-Z training courses command high prices in the training market and he backs his training programs with a team of trainers who have themselves succeeded in the online marketing world. Not all of his courses are totally out of budget for the average online marketer. Courses such as Howie’s Party, one who’s theme changes to suit the season, deliver scaled down training taken from his higher priced courses such as his highly popular apprentice programs.

Howie and his team run many different mentoring and coaching programs that are geared towards the individual. The methodology used in his full scale programs begin with an individual assessments to determine the point of training the student is currently at and then is tailored to meet the needs identified.

Howie’s training focuses a fair amount on teaching ALL of the various aspects of marketing, particularly in the areas of social marketing. A typical student assignment might be to build a hubpage, even if that student never builds another. Having done this particular assignment, the student is then in a position to be able to outsource this work if he/she so chooses and focus time on areas where they have the most strength. Having done this work once, the student is in a better position to judge if the work done when outsourced is of quality or not.

Reviews from students who have participated in courses from Howie Schwartz and his team are positive in nature and give the overall impression that the student has received value that exceeds the hefty price of the course. The term most frequently used when describing the benefit received is that these courses will help you become “unstuck” if you have failed to progress in your efforts with Internet marketing.

It is a well known fact that those who invest in training and mentoring to learn the business of Internet marketing have a much higher degree of success. One of the key factors here being that price paid for this sort of mentoring brings the training out of the world of fantasy and into the world of business where dedication and hard work are required to succeed.

Howie’s courses are no walk in the park, so to speak. Folks interested in learning how to run a business online and looking at training provided by Howie Schwartz are hereby warned that there is a great deal of work involved to complete a course of this type. If you are not prepared to invest your time and effort, it would be a substantial waste of money to buy one of Howie’s courses.

If on the other hand, you are prepared to meet the challenge of learning from an acclaimed expert in the field of Internet marketing, Howie Schwartz is a recommended source for this type of training. If you would prefer to get a taste of what training with Howie is like before jumping in with both feet for the higher priced courses, Howie’s Party would be an excellent choice. Be warned though. Many find that these lower priced courses wet their appetite for the more complete training found in the higher end training courses.

Here is one example of the zany Howie Schwartz the day he was arrested by the Google police that was shared by RadarRoySeo on YouTube.

Frank started out as many others have done, struggling to learn the secrets of how to make a living with online marketing. Broke and in desperate need of money, he persevered until he had his first break promoting the product “Mining Gold on the Internet” by Shawn Casey. His business grew from that point only to suffer a significant setback when the FTC took exception to some of his business methods.

Learning from his experience with the FTC, Frank went on to partner up with Ed Dale and establish a series of “mini-sites” in small, but profitable niches that were not connected to make money online sales. After achieving significant success with niche marketing, he and Ed Dale returned once again the to informational marketing to teach others the technique of how to tap into a variety of niche markets.

These days, Frank Kern’s courses are in high demand and command a premium price. Despite their cost, Frank’s high credibility, outgoing personality and undisputed expertise as a teacher in the niche marketing field results in those courses selling out in record time frames. Mass Control 2.0 sold out in under 20 minutes.

Other courses associated with Frank Kern include Underachiever Mastery, Mass Control, Infomillionaire and Screw Google System. Those interested in obtaining a Frank Kern product will need to keep a close watch for upcoming launches and be prepared to act quickly when those launches open.

Frank’s courses in general, tend to spend a fair amount of time on the concepts of setting up product promotions, outsourcing, optimizing back end promotions, developing customer credibility and info product creation. He is highly knowledgeable in most aspects pertaining to Internet marketing such as informational product creation, market analysis, web conversion and tracking, email and video marketing, identification of psychological triggers and more. These products offer high value and advanced strategies that may be a bit overwhelming to the beginning marketer and therefore appear to be better suited to those at the intermediate and advanced marketing stage.

Terry Dean’s slogan, taken from his own website, http://www.terrydean.org/about, “Earn More. Work Less. Enjoy Life!” sets the paramaters for the style of training and information that he shares. Working as a business consultant and speaker, as well as an Internet Business Coach, Terry has developed a tell it like it is reputation. His forthright style may even seem to put many off his courses in the beginning until they have come to the realization that Internet marketing is a business were work, time and effort are required. Until people reach this stage, they are not ready for the real world training that Terry specializes in.

After substantial research on the Internet, I was unable to come up with negative commentary on the business and coaching tactics employed by Terry Dean. This is a highly unusual occurrence in a world where negative information moves at the speed of light.

Terry Dean has written 2 books, Internet Integrity: The Truth About How Any Business Can Increase Profits Online and Financial Freedom: A Step-By-Step Practical Guide for Walking in God’s Blessings. These books provide practical advice for newcomers to the field of Internet marketing. He is also the author of the online book, Net Breakthroughs.

Terry’s philosophy of sharing his knowledge is readily apparent in the material he makes available on his websites and the information shared to his email list. He is one of the few marketers who fails to continuously spam his list, providing quality information instead that is of use to the recipient.

Terry Dean is highly recommended by this reviewer as a provider of one-on-one business coaching for Internet marketers.

Perry Marshall’s background includes 10 years experience as an electrical engineer and a master’s degree in physics. Perry spent time as a humble sales person learning the techniques of generating sales in the traditional manner of business before he turned his attentions to the realm of Internet marketing. It didn’t take Perry long to realize that the main form of advertising available at that time centered around Google Adwords and as one would expect from someone who had achieved an engineering degree, he set out to systematically master this advertising medium.

Perry’s style of communication is very forthright. He is a tell-it-like-it-is individual and holds no punches when expressing his opinions. Some of his communications, which this reviewer follows daily, appear rather blunt and refreshing in a time when hype is the expected norm. Rather than encourage his students and readers with pie in the sky philosophy, Perry learns his subject inside and out and bases the findings revealed on his own methodical testing and research.

Best known for his eBook, The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords, Perry offers a range of courses and services suitable to many budgets, for business owners around the globe. Rather than focusing on the ‘quick buck’, Perry concentrates on the work and testing required to build a sustainable business, both online and off. You won’t make a million dollars overnight with these methods. Instead you learn what goes into the development of a solid sales funnel, finding the triggers associated with the buyers you are looking for, conversions and lead value, as well as methodically means to test campaigns for the purpose of enhancement and troubleshooting.

Complaints in relation to Perry Marshall are few. The ones I have run across center on the large quantities of emails sent to his subscribers and the fact that his material tends to be a bit dry to read in comparison with the more hyped up material many marketers send. There can be several emails sent in a given day, depending on how many subscriber lists one belongs to, however, each email contains information of value to the reader and seldom contain an endorsement or sales pitch. Possibly this reviewer’s own technical background allows a deeper sense of appreciation or bias for Perry’s style of communication.

As an authority on the subject of Google Adwords and its use in building a sustainable online business, I highly recommend Perry Marshall and his teachings. Visit Perry Marshall’s Blog for some great posts.
