Terry:
Hi there. You're listening to Terry Telford from TheBusinessProfessional.com, and today we are very fortunate to have with us two extremely successful Internet marketers. We have Jeremy Gislason and Simon Hodgkinson, who really are two of the Internets premier professionals. They've basically proven themselves over and over and over with products like Sure Fire Wealth, Big Survey, Secret Audio Sessions, and of course, Marketing Main Event, and Marketing Main Event 2, which were absolutely phenomenal successes.
I heard through the grape vine that Marketing Main Event 2 made somewhere around $600,000. So, you can see the kind of quality that these guys bring to the table. What we're going to do tonight is pick their brains as far as, how do you start off with the seed of an idea, into product development and into the marketing. How do you get from zero, with just the idea, up to a product that sells over $600,000 online?
Without me babbling on any more guys, maybe we can start off with your backgrounds. Jeremy, maybe you can tell us where you came from and how you got to where you are today?

Jeremy:
Sure, Terry. I have a long line of entrepreneurs in my family, and I grew up in a family where my father had his own business and some of my aunts and uncles had their own businesses. I just looked at like as having your own business was the way to go. A lot of my friends' fathers worked for companies, and I just always thought that having your own business was the way to go. So, I had my mind set, even as a teenager, and I just went from there. I did a lot of traveling and ended up in Japan. My wife and I opened up a language school over here. We've had that for about ten years now. It's been very successful; we're doing very well with it.
I started to look for other streams of income and other opportunities to expand into other businesses about five or six years ago. One thing led to another, and I got involved with some online programs, I started buying products, checking things out, reading e-Books on how to make money online, and things like that. One thing led to another, and I ended up meeting a man by the name of Darryl Graham in 2002. We hit it off and I ended up working directly with him for a couple of years at ISO Register Incorporated, which owns quite a few websites.
The main one is ISORegister.com.
We did a lot of things together. We built an online tracking system, we built an online autoresponder very similar to AWeber, but it was at ISOResponder.com, and we built an online rotating system. We put together a lot of different membership sites. We just learned how to do a bunch of different things, as far as membership sites go. I met some great programmers, other marketers and business owners over the next couple of years.
I decided to launch my own site after that called Sure Fire Wealth in the beginning of 2005. It took off pretty quickly. I ended up meeting Simon about the same time I was launching this site, and we hit it off and got to know each other over a period of time. I bought a lot of his products and he was a member of my site. We got to know each other over the summer and started working together more during the fall. Since then, we've had quite a big success. We've launched the Secret Audio Sessions, MME 1 and 2, and we're working on MME 3 now.
There are a lot of things going on.
Things have exploded really fast. Six years ago I didn't know what an e-mail account was or how anything worked at all. Now, I'm making over a million dollars a year online. It's quite a big change.

Terry:
That's fantastic. The six-year, one million-dollar plan.

Jeremy:
Yea.

Terry:
How about you Simon? What's your background? Where did you come from?
