Have you ever wondered what an internet marketing guru looks like? Of course you haven’t because you’ve seen plenty of their pictures.
But have you seen Michael Green? Michael keeps a low profile when it comes to his image to keep his internet business separate from his "real life" because his real name is Grant and he is also a member of Parliament.
I thought I would share this picture with you because Michael came to visit me when I was a student in one of his mentoring programs. 
Yes, he flew in from England. I can’t say that he came just to see me – I’m sure he had several students in the United States that he visited on that trip. But here’s the point – he took the time to come and help me personally, not meet me in a gathering of internet wizards in some big hotel where you are competing with hundreds of others to get someone’s attention.
While I feel that Michael is a business friend, there was one thing that was wrong with the mentoring he gave me. Because he has mastered internet marketing and can sell ice tea to eskimos, he forgets that things are not so easy for the likes of me. So he left out the part about doing market research and guided me into writing a book that no one wants to read. Now I bet he could sell lots of copies of my book to people who aren’t even interested in gardening, but I can’t. Especially not about gardening with native plants. Oh well, live and learn.
The bottom line for you? Do some research to determine that there is a viable market for your ebook before you write it. There’s a good chance nobody really cares what you have to say about your "passion".
