Introduction

The Laptop Entrepreneur Revolution

Since the late 1990s, a revolution has taken place in the way people do business. Thanks to the Internet and new technologies such as e-mail, search engines, affiliate programs, Voice over Internet Protocol, online auctions, video streaming, webinars, and social media, you can now do business all over the world without ever leaving your house.

Millions of people are now making a full-time living working from home. After all, if somebody created a billion-dollar infrastructure that you could leverage for free to connect with 1 billion people around the world, wouldnt you want to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

This revolution is gathering pace. Over 1 trillion dollars a year is being spent online. One in every four advertising dollars is now being spent on online advertising. And people are spending, on average, 40 minutes a day on social media websites such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. And yet, most people are completely unaware of the incredible opportunities this has created for them.

In this book and the related blog I have brought together the success stories of 100 of my seminar attendees and students. You will find out...

• How single mom Mili Ponce went from zero to making $2,500 a month thanks to Twitter, in less than 90 days.
• How George J. went from working in a supermarket to making $6,000 a month thanks to YouTube, in less than eight weeks.
• How Tom Chambers went from zero to making $20,000 a month thanks to Facebook, in less than five months.
• How Georgina Lany went from zero to making $8,000 a month in passive income thanks to outsourcing, in less than six weeks!
• How Kevin Taylor makes over $8,000 a month thanks to Fiverr.com !
• How Ciaran Doyle makes $7,000 a month thanks to SEO, and moved to a beach in Cambodia!!

• How Laura Wilson makes $12,000 a month thanks to local business marketing, working just eight hours a week!
• How Rory K. went from zero to making $15,000 a month thanks to his e-book, in just nine weeks!

• How Lucy Johnson went from personal trainer to making over $40,000 a month thanks to membership sites, in less than four months!
• How Jonathan N. went from massive debt to making over $30,000 a month thanks to SEO, in six months!

These laptop entrepreneurs are using simple Internet business strategies, revealed in this book.

In this book I also share with you how I met my mentor the Laptop Millionaire and how his advice helped me go from being completely broke in my early 20s to making over 7 million dollars in online sales. You will discover in these pages...

• How I went from zero to making $10,000 a month thanks to e-books, in just 28 days.
• How I made $50,000 in three days, thanks to a direct-mail letter.
• How I turned $952 into $36,000 in seven days, thanks to Facebook Ads.
• How I made $90,000 in a day, thanks to a licensing deal.
• How I made $380,000 in 30 days, thanks to an online product launch.
• How I made $200,000 in 90 minutes, thanks to a live webinar.
• And many more strategies that Ive never revealed before.

I do not mention these numbers to impress you, but simply to illustrate the fact that these strategies really work! Laptop entrepreneurs are quietly making a fortune from the comfort of their own homes and indeed, from anywhere around the world where they can connect to the Internet!

You can now earn a full-time living thanks to Twitter, Facebook, Facebook Ads, Facebook pages, local business marketing, mobile marketing, YouTube, Google AdWords, search engine optimization, webinars, joint ventures, joint venture webinars, affiliate marketing, cost-per-action marketing, Fiverr.com , e-books, eBay, outsourcing, media buying, pay-per-click advertising, list-building, lead generation, membership sites, and hundreds more strategies!
