A Message from James Martell

"Over the years I have met up with hundreds of students at industry
events who were kind enough to share with me there stories of success. I have also recently had a chance to interview a few of them as well."

I just get up in the morning and if I feel like putting in the hours, I put them in, and if I don't, I wait until I do. It's the total freedom of it all.

My mind is constantly going looking for ideas for websites. Driving down the road you see a billboard or read a magazine and you are constantly thinking of ideas. Do some research on them and see what you come up with.

After 3 layoffs and base closures as an airline mechanic, I knew I wanted to work from home on my computer. My co-workers laughed and said I couldn't compete with the whiz-bang kids on the Internet. But I went for it and got the book and the rest is just ridiculous history for Betty and I. Our life is completely transformed.

In the corporate world they were telling me when I had to leave work and I had to ask for permission to do things. I needed to be more entrepreneurial. And that began my quest...

Affiliate Marketers BootCamp

Any Internet publishers, new and experienced alike need the social interaction, "attaboys", and motivation that your Online BootCamp provides. So, kudos to you, James and Arlene, for the forum you have provided to all of us. I feel more confident in myself and my ability to pick relevant topics, and knowing that I now have the tools to reach my FULL potential! It's also nice to know that there are people on the Net who really care about the success of others and are offering a superior product, and your online book and online BootCamp does fit that description. James and Arlene, I am very impressed with you, your business acumen, and your ethical approach to helping others! ~ Mary Ruff-King

I was a long time ago student of Mr. Martell and wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to him for what he taught me. Since then I have built a site that has just about freed me from my jobs. All I have to do is repeat this process and I'll be there. This large site gets from 2000 to 2200 visitors per day and surprises me every day with the income it produces even more than 3 years after I finished working actively on it! So thank you James for laying the basics out for me to get myself free finally! ~ Pat Bowlin

The BootCamp was amazing. It was so much more then we expected. First the access to all the information we could possible need to be successful was awesome. It truly is as simple as developing quality content and getting equally quality inbound links - The PAD technique is brilliant! ~ Tammy & Romeo Morales - Didsbury, Alberta Canada

I think the format for the online BootCamp is perfect. To have a week between steps allows me to study and digest the information at my own pace. It also gives me a deadline to have the work done. I see myself having everything I need to be able to replace my income and work full time in a business that I believe I will absolutely love. ~ Tony Miller

I love all the details! Since I am new to affiliate marketing, but not new to marketing, I find all the affiliate baby steps, industry information and examples very useful. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I'm so happy I'm taking your course! ~ Jen Bowers

This BootCamp really had enhanced the book and the Buzz! There were questions and road blocks that I had and I got them answered completely. I feel clear, empowered and knowledgeable. This was well presented, well organized and very informative. Thank you for the opportunity. It is going to revolutionize my life & my families life. Thank
you! ~ Rhonda Morin

Thanks so much again to you and James for a great online BootCamp. And just hearing James "think through" the various steps and his answering the students' questions really gave me some excellent insight as to his thought processes. I can't tell you how many times as I listened my "a-ha" factor kicked in. ~ Ed Price

Thanks for all your efforts in providing the BootCamp students with the excellent, wide-ranging, up-to-date information you have given. The Handbook is 1st class, but we have gleaned many more nuggets of essential information from the online presentation and the interviews. It's hard to see what more you could do to 'load the dice' anymore in our favor re success in affiliate marketing. ~ Cheri Britton / Peter Appleby

I'm seeing my first site up and running and thanks to the wisdom from James and guests the knowledge to fine tune it, make it better and then go on to building more pages. I like the format a lot I would definitely do this again in the future. ~ John Grayson

The Interactive BootCamp adds another dimension to learning. I learn more in the interactive environment and in illustrative demos than from book, or having an "information dump" at a weekend BootCamp. Being able to view recordings is great - especially if there is the ability to fast-forward or jump to specific parts of the presentation. ~ Alan Blyth

We were happy to find proof that he does what he says and it WORKS. Today. All our questions were answered LIVE in the online conference room, leaving no stones unturned. The Affiliate Marketers BootCamp is a must for anyone serious about Internet marketing because all the overwhelming work is broken into detailed, bite size actions to take. We absolutely loved it! ~ Andr�anne and Luc

The OUTSOURCING session really opened my eyes to the vast opportunities for accomplishing all those tasks that I was afraid I would not be able to do on my own. As a result, I suddenly realize that this is a truly doable business for me! ~ Steve Gordon

James gave me a completely new perspective on how to make web site building less frustrating and more fun. When it involved content creation I was finding that writing content for my site was very time consuming and a major mind block from me moving forward with my business. James showed me how to outsource all the content creation tasks so I can get on building my business. Priceless information. ~ Glenn Coleman

I like the classroom atmosphere because there are always questions asked from other students that I never would've thought of asking. I get very excited when I think of all the great things that will happen after attending the BootCamp! ~ Christy Itamoto

James opened my eyes to what was keeping me back - trying to do everything myself. With his tips on how to outsource a lot of my business, I can work smarter, not harder. ~ Chris Molnar, Winnipeg Canada

I appreciate the care you take with your students - answering questions and guiding us along. I also like the "accessories:" audio interviews, educational videos, summary emails etc. This is one of the best training experiences I have ever had. Thank you very much! ~ Regina Schuler

I'm glad I did the BootCamp. It's kept me on pace, motivated me to go forward with confidence, and provided a lot of little "extras" of information that I wouldn't have received by reading the manual alone. I also like that I can ask questions when I'm confused and get an answer really quickly. It's making all the difference for me. ~ Kevin Flavin

Great course. The best money I've ever spend for online business building. Keep of the great work! ~ Ed Forteau

The BootCamp was fantastic. No black hat, no tricks, no software solutions. It was all about the real deal...building quality sites. I enjoyed discovering how to properly set up site nav bars, how to set up a proper product page, how to link articles back to product pages and the importance of back links. ~ Bob Martin

I am very happy with the class. It has been worth 10 times the price and it has exceeded my expectations. I feel James has spent a ton of time on us and has gone over and above the call of duty. My confidence has increased greatly. ~ Dave Flask

There are many things I enjoyed about the BootCamp: James, you are a natural. You're born a great teacher, mentor, speaker, entertainer, and inspiration for you students. The ability for the students to interact in the conference room through voice and text messages. Live demos through the conference room browser and whiteboard and the ability for the students to get their questions answered through the forum and the help desk. ~ Donald Chee

Before I forget, Thanks to the both of you for a great course. I have taken many a grad school course in my time and all of the professors could learn from the both of you how to hold a fantastic online course. The materials are great! The support is unheard of. Kudos to the both of you. Thanks for everything. Marian Owczarczak

I just wanted to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of your Online Bootcamp. The technology is amazing, especially the "whiteboard" feature where you can really show exactly what your thought process is for a particular point in the training. I especially like your follow up audios answering the students' particular questions and find that this ongoing feature has been most helpful to me personally. Your conversational approach in explaining your answers gives great insight and clarity to both the manual and the training. My "light bulb" has come on numerous times as I listen to your answers, "Oh that's what James means." Ed Price

The bootcamp you are doing is awesome. I love the format and the how you answer every question. Raj Banergee

Keep on the great work! I am really enjoying the Bootcamp so far and feeling like I am finally going to get over the hump. I am amazed at all of the great tips and links we have received so far that are not mentioned in the book putting us far ahead of the competition. Dave Flask

Great, great class tonight. Thank you for your unending support to help us all succeed - I really appreciate all the "behind the scenes" work that you do! Julia Mahler

Thanks so much for your great follow-up you and James are a pleasure to work with. Do keep me posted on the ongoing classes after our bootcamp, I would like to be a part of that. Latanya Quince

Thank you for the homework! It keeps me thinking and doing. Jennifer Bowers

Thanks for the awesome session on Thursday night. I really like the staying at home online concept. It is really easy to plan it around my family and kids. Scott Gray

Let me start off by saying "WOW" I am really enjoying the BootCamp � Even though you may feel a little strange doing the online conferencing -- I think it is working great -- I love the live teaching and the interaction. Way to go James!! Linda Meadley

Thanks so much for the wonderful class you are providing. I am really enjoying it and learning so much, I�m so grateful to you and to Arlene for sharing your knowledge and experiences! Jen Bowers

Thank you so much for the opportunity. I feel so inspired and so completely excited about the things that I have learned. I listened to 3 of the coffee talks today because I fell behind with some personal issues in the last 2 months and I am so excited about what I can do with this business. I am thankful for both you and James for all that you have done for me personally, and for my family. I hope to be a student who is interviewed by James in an upcoming Affiliate Buzz. Thank you so much for everything. Rhonda Morin

Just wanted to say thank you for the past eight weeks of the BootCamp. We learnt so much and it has made a tremendous difference to how we are running the websites now. We can see a huge difference already. I am having so much fun with it all and for the first time my business partner has created her own website. It's become almost an addiction for her as she works on her website at all hours of the day and night. Would love to do the next bootcamp but we have decided that you covered everything really well so it is just a matter of us putting it all into practice. I am sure we will be doing another one in the future though so we can stay up-to-date. The bootcamp was excellent value for money. We didn't expect all the extra coffee talk chats and the guest speakers during the classes. I just think you both did a fantastic job. Paula Carnogoy & Wanda Sowden

I know you both are extremely busy, so I just wanted to drop you a quick thank you for taking the time to critique my website. After last nights bootcamp, you can say I had a very eye opening, and believe this or not, a life changing experience when James was critiquing my site, and this feedback was truly important to me, and exactly what I needed to hear and witness for myself. I strongly feel that things happen for a reason, and I have been blessed to be a part of this bootcamp, just for the fact that I really want to succeed in this business, and when taken down the right path, I believe one day I will be successful at this business. If you don't already know this, you both were put on this earth to change lives, and you're doing it through your passion to help others. Thank you for being true, thank you for your honesty, thank you for believing that success should be shared among others, so we all can develop and live better and richer lives. I know that this last part is going to be really corny, and believe me, as a past business developer in the cut-throat business world, I'm the last person to get mushy. I truly want to thank you both for just being who you are, and I'm honored to be a part of your vision and journey. Bill Lezubski

Affiliate Marketers Handbook

James' entire affiliate training program is top quality and by far the best and most extensive I have ever seen and/or heard. I am really, really impressed and also very much in need of something like this. I have ordered many marketing courses before and they were all very confusing, frustrating, incomplete, outdated, and/or misleading. They would often require even larger investments. Not one ever helped much, if at all. This is the first time in my life I have not been disappointed and I also, for the first time ever, feel very much like I am getting many times back the amount I paid for it. Good work!!! Thanks again and all the best, Russell Symonds

Just listening to the latest buzz and you mention about the link to hire authors. Just wondering if you could provide some info on doing that. I find that writing the articles the hardest thing to get started and I know you always mention that and keep motivating us to 'just do it'. But if there are others out there that will help with this task that would be great. Thanks, I really enjoy the buzz and I will see you at CJU! Oh, I quit my full time job exactly one year ago to do affiliate marketing as a full time hobby now and it better than ever now. My initial goal was $200 a day and I got there within 3 months. It's great eh? Best, Rob

I really appreciate you and James providing all the great knowledge and encouragement. Your products are the best on the market. I am in hopes I can attend one of your BootCamps some day here soon. Thanks again Arlene and please let me know if you have any questions. Tell James thanks for all his efforts and knowledge as well. Jeff Saville

I took your advice and employed a couple of writers to help me out and it is working out really well, in fact they are much better at it than me lol. By the way my first site earned me over $2000 in March so that has inspired me even more. Thank you so much for your guidance and inspiration. Regards, Heath, Melbourne, Australia

Please forgive the length of this email - but I figured it was the only way to thank you for everything you have done for us! My husband has been a JM student for almost two years now and sings your praises to anyone who will listen! He worked as a auto mechanic his entire life until he injured his back and couldn't physically handle that type of manual work any longer. After two back surgeries and many years of unemployment he continued searching for some way he could work from home. He has done everything from selling Peanuts to Beanie Babies by the side of the road (Bless his heart). Then he came across your course. In the beginning he didn't even know how to turn on a computer let alone send out an email now he is designing websites and doing search engine optimization techniques as good as the pros! We have only YOU to thank for this. God Bless you for sharing what you learned and making it affordable for people like us! Mary & Jamey, Jacksonville, Florida

"I'm SO grateful for the teachings of James Martell!! I thank God and Divine Mother every day for how my life has changed with affiliate programs. Before doing this I was earning $7 an hour as a waitress. Now I publish 12 websites in different industries ranging from Financial Services to Ink Cartridges. I learned EVERYTHING I know about publishing successful websites from this course. I just bought a new condo on the waterfront -- a dream come true! GET this course!! Rene Tse - Internet Entrepreneur

It's been a while since we've talked. Audrey and I were chatting it up tonight, and it occurred to me that we should write you. You see, 9 months ago, when we started using your system, you were our sole guide and mentor - we knew jack about affiliate marketing. Since then, even though we affiliate marketing is only a small part of our internet business, because we've followed your system, we're earning more than $5,000 a month solely from affiliate marketing. And we only do it a few hours a week. Without sounding too sappy, you've been instrumental in changing our financial lives, you've taught us more about search engine optimization than 95% of the other straight-up search engine material out there, and you've made it easy for us to make money referring things that we're passionate about. We're now a $28,000 a month company, and nearly 20% of that revenue is directly related to you. So.....THANKS! And stop selling your hand book please!!!! :) Just kidding... Warm Regards, Andy Jenkins

I can't thank you enough for sharing your business. This has been such a wonderful opportunity for me. My son is moving back home from college in Colorado to learn the business, and will be here tomorrow! He wants to build two or three sites, and let it fund his college education so he won't have to have all of the student loans or work the long hours as he finishes his college education. Bronwyn Bamber

July was a record month for me! Just above $US22k. Yesterday was also a record day for me - it was 1.5x what one BC Hydro paycheck would have been....those poor souls slaving away at Hydro that perceive what I am doing is riskier than relying on a job...several of them will be seeing layoff notices in the next few months. We have sold our house and bought another - there are still subjects to remove on both the sale and purchase but if everything goes through we got above list price on our house and will be moving to a new house which is currently being built. The master bedroom is huge with a fireplace and huge tub - hopefully this doesn't cause more babies :) There is also a better layout for kids play area and work at home. I kept the Rich Dad Poor Dad ideas in mind when buying a new house. I avoided the temptation to get a huge liability - I had built a few sites that were dedicated to a mortgage payment so I have an asset already in place to offset my new liability. I'm really loving this new lifestyle - new car - new house and trips to the beach with my daughter whenever I feel like it. Thanks again for your mentorship in getting to this point! Gotta go to the beach with my daughter :) Colin McDougall

It appears the GURU knows his business well. Google AdSense started already on pace to create a record breaking month if this Keeps up. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. This is becoming way to much fun. Alan

Keep up the great work on the buzz. Very inspirational, I look forward to it every 2 weeks. I was quite surprised to even hear my name mentioned! You provide very worthwhile information. Lots of nuggets which get me thinking. I've taken it to heart. I've been recommending it to lots of people and know some have subscribed. A GREAT MONTHLY investment. Gary Antosh

I am just listening to the tail end of the latest affiliate buzz. It was by far the best I have heard, excellent information and Charles was great with a relaxed, interactive style. Stacey Becker

I have subscribed to the newsletter and I love it. You have a wealth of information which is motivating and helping me to build my second website. I submitted my first site about 1 month ago. Thanks, Rochelle

GREAT BUZZ.... I must have listened to it 10 times today while working!!! Lots of great and useful information. It's just taking the time to apply it. Your goal setting... Has already been completed on my desktop. I've known that for years but never took the step... THANK YOU. All the Best, Gary

Just want to say "Thanks a bunch!" for the 2005 Affiliate Marketers Handbook. It's a very nice surprise, I did not know you were updating the manual. I especially like how you compiled the updates in the manual "my thoughts then 2002" "my thoughts now 2005". All the Best, Jeremy

I don't know if this is the right place, but Affiliate Marketers Handbook is a masterpiece. Brilliant. I really love it. Monte Meldman, MD

I wanted to write to let you know that I quit my job at Overture this week. My affiliate revenue is now close to $2000 a month. I'm still not at my $5000/month goal (which I've now raised to $10,000), but I'm getting there. But $2000 is enough to live on while I focus full time on expanding this business. Meeting both of you at the CJU conference was really a turning point. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me personally about the business. Anyway, I owe you both a debt of gratitude. I'll write again when I reach the 5K mark. Until then, best of luck to both of you. Adam Short

I just wanted to thank both of you for your help. I have secured and am happy about the #1 position in Google for two killer keywords, and top 10 in many other keywords. I appreciate the opportunity and "mentoring" you people have provided to me. Thanks again, Alan Zunec

"Cross-linking" was the problem??!! I was planning on doing just that with my own sites. I have never heard that this was a problem. Thank you so much for your response... it was so timely, and I'm sure it has saved me a bundle. It just proves that the $10 /mo cost for Affiliate Buzz is a tremendous bargain. Thank you again for your honest and prompt reply. Best regards, Pablo J. Rivera, Tampa, FL

First of all it is long over due. I am deeply touched for your attentiveness and caring in my website business. I have had to wait a few days to respond to your wonderful email. As the words did not come til now! I bought a BMW on Sunday with cash and paid for insurance with cash. This was only possible because I am following your guidance in building websites. That is a dream come true. Rene Tse

I wanted to share with you about my latest - Break-ation...It really works!!! I took along a copy of the book you recommended on the Affiliate Buzz called The E-Myth - Revisited. You are absolutely right. A business changing book. About half way through I figured it out. Your Affiliate Manual is Your "operations" manual. If you follow the steps it works. Thank you for the tip, Gary

I know you like hearing about new students having some success. Well, this isn't a big deal, but I wanted to let you know I got my very first commissionable sale yesterday. $11.00 through CJ. Don't spend it all in one place, right? :-) I started in Feb. of this year, so you called it right when you said to expect 4-6 months to get your first sale. Just about 4 months exactly for me. And I actually have earned over $100 from Google AdSense, but this is my actual first sale. I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate you so much. You gave me direction and a process. It's all I needed. In 2-3 years, I know you'll refer to me as one of your best successes. Thanks again! John

Betty and I are averaging $250 USD a day now and your ebook was worth $10,000 to Us! The more sales I can create for you the better with or without a commission. Thanks again for all your help, friendship and teachings. Say hi to Arlene for Betty and I and we hope to see you soon. Brent Truitt

As of Sept 12 affiliate marketing has surpassed what my job will pay for the entire month. Last month I surpassed my job income on the 22nd...It just keeps getting better and better. My debt is disappearing faster than I ever imagined possible. What I had figured would take 2 years to pay off has been paid in 2 months!!! This is simply incredible...the next step is saving a base of cash in the bank shortly followed by never working for a paycheck again. July's total: slightly less than what my job pays. August's total: slightly less than double what my job pays. September: Looking like it will be slightly less than triple what my job pays. Colin McDougall

I do agree with a lot of other people your book is one of the most in depth, step by step manuals on affiliate marketing. Have a great week and God Bless. Curtis Miller

You have answered so many questions I had with your previous AM Handbook. The backward links was a little confusing the first time around and the keyword density makes so much more sense to me now. I feel so much better about moving along with my first site. Thanks so much! Linda

We need your help. Thanks in part to your extraordinary information in both the Handbook and the Buzz, our income is rising dramatically! (Now well over 5 figures a month.) We're ready to incorporate and have 2 quick questions: Do you still recommend the Nevada incorporation company shown on the Buzz website? We would really appreciate a referral to your accountant. We want someone who understands online businesses and Canadians incorporating in the U.S. Thanks for all you do,
Sheila and Bob, in Sunny South Surrey

Terrific book. I have looked at affiliate marketing for the 6-9 months. Most of the material in your book is familiar to me. The genius of your book is the disciplined approach to this business. Your book brings the newbie up the curve very quickly. Give me some time and I will let you know how I am doing. Here's an atta boy and a pat on the back for a book that is well written and delivers on its promise. Regards, Duncan Seward

How wonderful it is to receive the new 2005 manual update at no charge. Thank you! I have so enjoyed following the escapades of the Shelby car. I must say I was emotional listening to the last Buzz and hearing how the Shelby arrived to its new home. Thanks for sharing that wonderful story of a dream come true! It inspires and motivates me and feeds me to keep going to achieve my dreams of financial freedom. The Buzz is a lifeline for me right now and keeps me up and motivated. I really depend on it to keep me positive and keep me moving towards success. I love to hear all the stories of success and achievement. It fuels my fire! Thanks again to everyone there. God bless you all. Warm regards, Maureen, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada

I know your always going on trips so thought you might get a kick out of this. Only someone who does what we do would get a kick out of looking at a building with a sign on it. I spent the weekend in Silicon Valley, what a trip that was. Seeing in person Yahoo, Google, Oracle, Ebay, Apple, HP...etc, etc. ...walking through Stanford University and seeing where all the venture capitol firms are ... conveniently right next to the campus ... basically seeing where everything started and where it all happens ... for me it added the actual mass to all the stuff I look at every day on the computer ... it was really cool. Also, here's a picture of the Porsche I was able to buy thanks to affiliate marketing ... with my construction truck parked right next to it ... in the paper for sale. Best, Paul Nagel

I bought your copy of the 2002 handbook back in July of 2004. I have read it through several times but as of yet I have not put it into action. To my surprise I saw just recently that you put out a link to download the new 2005 version of the book. I did download it and again I am going through it with a fine tooth comb. I wanted to let you know that I like what I see. The new updates are very timely and do answer questions I had from the old version of the book. Reading the new book has re-inspired me to jump start my own goals and to get busy in the affiliate marketing business. Kudos for a great job on the update and I hope that I can possibly see you at on of the CJ functions in the near future. Brad

Hope you and Arlene are doing really well. I wanted to let you know that Betty and I netted over 12,000 CDN last month. Once again I want to thank you for all your hard work, and talent. Your ebook was the "big bang" for us you and your teachings were instrumental in changing our lives. Well, gotta run, Brent

I am writing to just say "thanks". I made my first affiliate sale today (can you hear the champagne cork popping?). The other reason I am sending you this email is to document what I am doing. Like I mentioned in the email below, having a game plan spelled out has made this whole process much easier. I wouldn't have made it this far without it. Do you know how many times I have just about said forget it, I can't/don't/won't do this? Getting up early in the morning to crank out one more web page, spending my lunch hour researching one more keyword, forcing myself to write one more page at times has been a challenge. Worse yet, is me being me - wanting to do things a little different than what is spelled out in a easy-to-follow format. Anyways, I am writing this email to make myself accountable. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it - and when you write it down! Regards, Dave

Great book. I am completely engrossed in following your plan as per the book. Am currently doing my research and narrowing my categories to 3. Great stuff, Bruno Hoffman

The business is treating me unbelievably. I would like to secure more sites. Thank you for assisting me in my online business. I have secured the number 3 position in google for the word "phone free" with 10.1 Million competing. Not bad for a few Canadians, eh? Please pass this onto James and the rest of your remarkable staff. My work, life, balance has changed hugely due to your tremendous help. I am beginning to see what living the dream is like. Thanks, Alan

James, I bought your book in March 2004. March 27, 2004 my first website went up. Anyway, I had my best ever day yet with making $180 yesterday. I just thought I'd share that your system does indeed work. Christine
